Before Jeff is able to decide what he’d want to do, he hears footsteps walking up the stairs, then the door to his 12-year-old brother Zoran’s room open and then close, soon after he hears muffled sobbing coming from that room.
Jeff raises an eyebrow, “is… is Zoran crying? That’s not like him,” he mutters to himself. The 16-year-old looks at the screen on which the program is still running, after a while he decides to check on his little brother, ‘I can try something later, first I have to know what has gotten Zoran so sad,’ he thinks to himself.
The teen gets to his feet and walks out of his room, he then carefully knocks on Zoran’s door, “Zoran? May I come in?”
There is a long moment of silence, but then he hears his brother mumble, “y-yeah,” so he opens the door and peeks inside. Jeff sees his brother lying on his bed, the boy’s eyes red from crying, “Zoran… what… what’s wrong,” he asks as he steps into the room, closing the door behind him, then moving over to sit on his brother’s bed.
Zoran lets out a sigh, the young boy looks like a younger version of Jeff, both have athletic bodies, short black hair, fair skin and brown eyes, “I got bullied in school… again,” he says.
“Really,” Jeff asks, “usually it doesn’t affect you so emotionally”.
“Today… was different,” Zoran says, “one… one of my… friends… well, at least I thought he was a friend… asked if I would like to come to his pool party this evening. I was really excited, because he never invited me before, so I was really surprised, but before I could accept, he said “oh, wait! You can’t come, because I only invited couples! And since you fail to nail a girl… hehe… I guess you can’t come!”. He then just walked away… laughing,” after telling this to Jeff, the boy breaks down once again.
Jeff feels anger raise in him, how dare someone would treat his brother like this, the teen looks at his little sobbing brother for a while, ‘I can’t let that a-hole get away with this,’ he thinks for a while, then an idea pops into his head, “Zoran… I think I can help you get back at that a-hole”.
“Hu? Wh-what do you mean,” Zoran asks, drying his eyes.
Jeff grins, “follow me to my room,” he says.
“Um… okay,” Zoran says and follows his brother into his room.
Jeff sits in front of his Laptop, Zoran sits himself on Jeff’s bed, “this is what I want to do,” Jeff begins, he then points at his Laptop, “I’ve received a program, which is able to alter the appearance of a person, object or animal and even the reality”.
Zoran raises an eyebrow, “yeah… right,” he says, “Jeff… I am not in the mood for one of you stupid jokes!”
Jeff grins, “oh, I swear: this is not a joke,” he says, “but I guess a proof is needed… watch this”. The teen turns to his Laptop and Zoran watches him type something, Jeff then turns back to face him, “now, watch my hair,” he says before hitting the enter key.
Zoran looks at Jeff’s hair, his eyes suddenly widen when he watches Jeff’s black hair slowly turning blond, “wh-what the freak?!”
Jeff grins, “still think it’s a joke,” he asks, “oh, and it is NOT a dream!”
Zoran is speechless, “impossible,” he mumbles.
“Crazy… I know,” Jeff says, turning his hair back to normal.
“What… what else is it able to do,” Zoran asks.
“Oh… many things,” Jeff says, “it can transform a human into an animal, feral or anthro, it can transform an animal into a human, it can make a person act in a certain way, like mind control, it can transform anything living into an object, it can make someone younger or older and even change a person’s gender”.
Zoran is in shock, after calming down, the boy asks, “s-so… what were you thinking?”
“Well, what if I’d transform myself into your dream girl,” Jeff asks bluntly.
Zoran’s eyes widen, “you… what?!”
Jeff blushes a little, “well… for one: I can’t stand seeing you so hurt, I want to help you get back at that a-hole… and for two: I’m just curious, I’d like to know what it would be like… it would be a win for us both: you get your dream girl and even make that idiot jealous… and I get to experience what it’s like being the opposite gender!”
Zoran is silent, Jeff however can sense that Zoran is thinking about his offer.
“So… how do you decide,” he asks after a while.
