Dion Jones is a 10-year-old boy with short blond hair, blue eyes and an athletic figure, which is due to his many sports activities, such as soccer, swimming and especially his favorite: parkour.
The boy is currently sitting in his room reading in a comic, he then hears the doorbell ring, “DION, GET THE DOOR,” he hears his 12-year-old sister Mandy shout.
“GET IT YOURSELF,” he calls back, “I’M BUSY!”
“I’M THE OLDEST,” his sister shouts, “SO DO AS I SAY!”
“YOU’RE NOT MY MOM,” the boy shouts.
“WHILE MOM IS AWAY, I’M THE ONE WHO IS IN CHARGE,” the girl screams, “SO, EITHER YOU DO AS I SAY, OR I’LL HURT YOU… AGAIN!”
The doorbell rings again, Dion growls, “OKAY! FINE,” he yells, he then storms out of his room and down the stairs to the front door, ‘what the hell is wrong with her,’ he asks himself, ‘she’s always so mean and bossy when mom isn’t around, but when she is, Mandy suddenly treats me respectfully. Something is defiantly wrong with her, but every time I tell mom, she doesn’t believe me’.
When Dion opens the door he sees an annoyed and impatient delivery man standing on the porch, holding a package, “are you Dion,” the man asks in an unfriendly voice.
“Yeah,” Dion says.
“Then this is for you,” the man says, shoving the package into the boy, “next time: don’t make me wait! I’ve got better things to do,” with that the man turns and storms to his truck, slamming the door, then driving off at high speeds, tires screeching.
“Jesus… someone has anger issues,” Dion mumbles, “or he simply hates kids… or both”. The boy looks down at the package, “who could possibly send me something,” he asks himself, closing the door and heading back to his room.
“WHO WAS IT,” he hears his sister yell.
‘None of your business,’ Dion thinks to himself, before responding, “just a delivery guy who had a package for me”.
His sister doesn’t reply, Dion rolls his eyes and closes the door to his room, he then heads to his desk and takes out a scissor.
After opening the package, he finds a CD and a letter, Dion first reads the letter:
“Dear Dion, congratulations! You have been chosen as one of only a handful of lucky people to receive our newest technology achievement: a reality altering editor program! Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Maybe wondered what it would be like being a girl? Or have you ever wondered what it would be like being an animal? Maybe you have even fantasized of being some object like clothing or a toy? Or have you ever wondered what it would be like being something edible, maybe a chocolate bar, an apple or even a turkey? With our program all your fantasies and dreams, no matter how crazy, will become reality!”
Dion raises an eyebrow, ‘as if,’ he thinks to himself, ‘though it would be cool. I’ve always wanted a Fox tail, they look so soft and fluffy!’
The boy eyes the CD, he then shrugs, ‘he… might as well try it out,’ he says, ‘if it doesn’t work: off into the trash it goes! But should it really work… then I could use it to make Mandy treat me better! Or I could use it to transform her into a bug! Or just make her disappear!’
Dion inserts the CD into his Laptop and starts the installation, once the installation is completed, the boy opens the program and first reads the manual, “man, crazy how much this program is supposed able to do,” he says to himself, “welp, let’s make a small test. So, first I need to scan myself… there. Whoa! Pretty cool, there is a 3D-model of myself and on the left side of the screen are my stats! Damn… this thing knows everything about me, how is that even possible? It even knows my darkest fantasies and secrets! Man… I’m already doubting that this is such a good idea!”
After a while, Dion decides to just do something subtle, “I wonder how I’d look like with black hair instead of blond,” he mumbles. When Dion changed his hair color from blond to black and confirms the change, he feels a strange pins-and-needles sensation run through his body, causing the boy to shiver slightly. According to the manual, this sensation indicates that a change is about to occur, so he hurries over to his mirror and his eyes widen and his mouth hangs open when he watches his blond hair slowly change color.
“It… it really works,” the boy mumbles to himself, he then grins, “so cool! So, I could really give myself a fluffy big Fox tail!”
Dion hurries back to his Laptop and reverts the previous change back to normal, causing his hair color to return to blond. The boy then begins setting up the change, but then he suddenly feels the urge to need the bathroom, ‘nye… damn it,’ he thinks to himself, jumping to his feet and hurrying to the bathroom, leaving his laptop and the program running.
