Jay, now Jenny, sat in front of the computer, pondering the current dilemma. Not sure what to do, she began to fiddle once more with the Chronivac, starting with Shawna's profile.
She changed the age to thirteen and added in that because of the cat, her body matures slightly faster, but she ages just like a normal human. Next she adjusted the intelligence so that Shawna was just above average and would remain this way for the rest of her life; college and High School would be a breeze. Afterward, Jenny explained that Shawna was living in this apartment with her Aunt, Jenny and Jenny's mom. These living arrangements had been constant since Shawna had been four and Jenny was one.
Unable to think of any more changes that could be added to Shawna's profile, Jenny saved it and once again pulled up her profile. She added the appropriate changes so that this profile semi resembled Shawna's. Next she added that she was like Shawna, just above average in intelligence and this would be a constant factor throughout her life. She added that the Chronivac was a birthday present from her mom and saved this info. The one thing she still was unsure about was the bit about her awareness. "Live life for now as a girl and be aware that at one time you were male or live life as a girl and completely forget about your previous life," Jenny asked herself.
Hesitantly, she altered the information so that it now stated that both girls came from relatively rich families, but after saving this info, Jenny was still unsure how to solve the awareness problem.
So she sat in front of the monitor, left hand holding the mouse, weighing the options that were before her. She sat back and stared at the monitor, enjoying the feeling of the chair against her naked body. Absently, she began to run her hand over her body.
Her chest was showing the first sign of what would one day become a B cup size breast as she traced the breast buds. Down across her flat stomach and abdomen, something that would also remain constant throughout her life. Tracing what would one day be graceful feminine curves down to her thighs and between.
Between her legs across the secret fold that all woman have. This one is prepubescent and mother would tell her what a naughty girl she was for touching herself there, but Jenny is young and on the cusp of experiencing puberty fully, so for now mother's words are forgotten as she enjoys the touch of her petite hand, something else that would remain constant through her life, against her soft body. Still no answer, Jenny gets up and heads for her room, liking the way the carpet feels against the bottom of her small feet.
Her room has also changed and now resembles a girl's room. Bright colours dominate the bed, posters of boy bands cover the wall, a wall phone sits on the nightstand and a cell phone sits next to a purse that contains make-up, change and a few dollars left over from shopping at the mall. In the closet are dresses, skirts, blouses, shoes and hygiene stuff; this also includes a bag of pads and a box of tampons at mother's request.
From the closet Jenny takes the hygiene items and a terry clothe bathrobe. Next she goes down the hall to the bathroom and for the next half hour she experiences a shower in the way only a young woman can. A towel from the bathroom wrapped around her hair and the bathrobe cinched tightly, she heads back to her room.
Inside, she takes off the towel and brushes her hair. From her dresser she takes a pair of low cut bikini briefs, low cut denim jeans and a pinkish white t-shirt and begins to get dressed.
Standing in front of a body mirror, making sure nothing can be seen that's not supposed to be seen, Jenny heads back to the room with the Chronivac. Sitting down, she pulls up Shawna's profile and edits it so that the only hair she has, and will ever have, is the hair on her head and the thin eyebrows right above her eyes.
Saving it, hoping she's done, Jenny returns to her profile, a decision in mind. She alters it so that she too will never have any other hair on her body except the hair on her head and her thin eyebrows above her head.
Next she goes to the awareness toggle and flips it so that she'll never have any knowledge that these changes have ever been made. A hesitancy and then Jenny clicks the save button.
Reality bends and twists around her. Shadows move about and her mind is scrambled for a minute as old memories pour out and new ones take place. Then everything goes dark and Jenny is scared for a minute before she realizes that she has closed her eyes. Opening them, she finds her self looking at a screen that simply reads, 'Welcome to Chronivac. Would you like to enter the program or a brief tutorial?'
Jenny remembers her mom had gotten this program for her and she was just now sitting down to try it. Memories flood her mind as she remembers the previous evening when She and Shawna had first explored each other while Jenny's mom and Shawna's aunt were out someplace. Shawna was asleep on Jenny's bed right now and after taking a shower, Jenny had decided to explore this computer program mother had given her rather then waking Shawna.
Turning back to the screen, she reread what was written there and made her decision.
