"NRG-X is a new drug that increases the energy output of the body's mitochondria. As a
result, it's intended to greatly increase stamina, as well as the body's natural reserves.
Side effects include an accelerated metabolism, increased need for food and drink,
insomnia, restlessness, and hyperactivity."
Sage whistled lowly. "Sounds dangerous to use. Would it cause someone to age faster,
too?"
"Tests on laboratory animals hasn't shortened lifespan any, but that could be a risk for
humans. Your heart is very healthy, so we shouldn't have to worry about any problems
there. It's up to you, of course."
Sage shrugged. "I'll give it a go."
Before she went to bed that night, Sage took the first pill. It was hard to swallow, and she
nicknamed it the 'Multivitamin from Hell'.
She only slept for five hours, feeling unusually bright and active, despite the early hour.
Sage was NOT a morning person. She got up, showered, dressed, cleaned up the
apartment, did some laundry, and organized her CD collection before she got bored and
decided to go for a jog.
Two hours later, she finally stopped to rest for a bit. It was amazing, she felt great! If one
pill could do that, what would she be like in a week?
She ate an entire large pizza that night, and watched three movies she'd rented...well more
like two and a half, since she'd fast-forwarded past the boring parts of one of the movies.
Still not quite tired, she surfed the internet, and read two long fanfics in record time
before taking the second pill and laying down.
She was up again in four hours time, feeling fully recharged. She made breakfast, and
then put one of Skye's workout DVD's in the drive, trying to burn off some excess energy.
She then went for another morning jog, which ended up with her at the library, where she
spent a few hours catching up on some novels she'd missed. She couldn't believe how
quickly she devoured the text; she'd always been a quick reader, but never like this!
Checking out a few books, she dropped by the hospital and read to Skye, even though
there was no sign her lover heard her. She ran into Skye's father, and for the first time
ever, won an argument with him...her memory seemed sharper than ever, and she was
easily able to turn his accusations against him.
She felt amazing...the only thing that could improve her mood would be Skye waking up.
The next morning she woke up, feeling fully rested....after only three hours of sleep!
"Oh this can't be good. I need more rest than this, or I'll start flaking out."
She checked the want ads...maybe she could take on a part-time job?
By the end of the day she'd gotten TWO jobs, she'd work part-time at the video store, and
she'd offered to babysit for her neighbor's seven year old.
Sage got along great with Megan, and to her astonishment, was easily able to keep pace
with the younger girl's energy. In fact, Megan had gotten tired long before Sage, after a
whole afternoon of playing games, watching movies, and going to the park.
In a short time, Sage had noticed her body becoming more fit and trim, the result of her
intensive exercise.
But even pushing herself to the max, she only got five hours of sleep, and she awoke
feeling...chipper. Sage was never chipper. That had been more of Skye's personality. But
she couldn't help herself.
She decided to wear the dress Skye had bought for her several months back. Sage hated
dresses; as tall as she was, she felt like a scarecrow playing dress-up, but she had to
admit, admiring the muscle tone she'd recently acquired...she looked good in the baby
blue dress. She took a bunch of pictures for Skye before undressing. It wouldn't do to get
the dress all sweaty.
Standing there in the nude, Sage licked her lips. For the first time in her life, her own
body was turning her on. She'd hated her body, but, as she ran her fingers along her
leg....she could get used to this.
She lay back on the couch and closed her eyes, thinking of Skye, as she rubbed her crotch
and played with her small breasts. Her nipples seemed extra perky, and it wasn't long
before she came, her back arching in pleasure.
She liked it so much she pleasured herself twice more. It had been so long since she'd
had an orgasm, it felt delicious.
She then showered, and put on her work out clothes, first exercising, and then going for
her jog.
She hit the library, worked her shift at the video store, read another book to Skye (and
wore the dress), then showed up to watch Megan. She joked that it was more like a
playdate, and both her and Megan had a lot of fun, before she tucked Megan into bed, the
seven year old left worn out by her energetic friend.
That night, Sage contemplated the fourth pill. "Ok Sage, this is great, but you're more
hyper than Megan, and she's seven, for fuck's sake. What will another pill do to me?"
She was certain her reaction to the medication was more extreme than normal. Looking in
the mirror didn't reveal any signs of aging, thank God...if anything, she looked a bit
younger!
"Ok,if I wake up and I'm a teenager, I'll give Marcy a call." She didn't think she was really
getting younger, but it sure felt that way.
She pleased herself again before going to sleep.
