She flipped the 'species' from 'human' to canine'. She also set the 'stealth' mode so no one would remember the change. At once she heard a barking from the back yard.
Going outside, she saw a big dog of some large mixed breed. He was chained to a doghouse and looked frightened. The tag on his collar read 'Danny'.
"Oooo," she said. "Isn't Danny a cute widdle puppy-uppers?"
Immediately, Danny began barking at her.
"That's wight," she siad in baby talk. "It's me. Nad oo's gonna stay that way 'cause Mean Ol' Daddy drinks nasty ol' beer. But Puppy-Uppers only drinks water and eats table scraps!"
He lunged, but she was outside the reach of the chain.
"Aww, is Puppy-Uppers in a bad mood? I'll come back when you're all better. Then maybe I'll get bored and want my Daddy back."
Hailey giggled as she skipped inside. This would teach Daddy not to go drinking and making Mommy cry!
From behind her a voice cried "BOO!"
"EEEK!" Hailey shrieked as fingers tickled uner her arms and ribs. She turned to see two boys running toward the poolhouse laughing like hyenas.
Jake and Harry were always acting like jerks and getting Hailey mad at them. But this time instead of chasing them, she went to the basement.
Hailey was surprised to discover that Jake and Harry were already in the Chronivac's memory and had been altered! Originaly they were grown men - her mom's friend Mrs. Kaskill was originally Jake's husband and Harry was her brother!
Dan (Hailey's father) had changed them from Mrs' Kaskill's 30 and 28 year-old husband and brother to her 10 and 8 year-old sons and switched their 'prefernces' from 'hetero' to 'homo'. Also Dan had a setting marked 'love-slave' activated with his scan-file in the display. Hailey had no memory of the boys being anything else but boys, a testimony to the power and subtlety of the Chronivac.
Hailey liked the idea of the boys being slaves. She had a vague idea that the 'preference' thing had something to do with boys and girls liking each other, and she figured they couldn't be her slaves if they didn't like girls. So she moved the 'preferences' all the way to 'hetero' and put her own name in the 'love-slave' box.
