In an alternate history, there once was a French scientist by the name of Francois Luisonne. He was a true Renaissance man. He could invent, he could do math, he could write. He was very well rounded. Now to the true reason I'm telling you about this...
It is the year 2011, in a modern world, not unlike our own. Francois is in his workshop experimenting with the relationship of cats and dogs. He believes he has invented a machine to bring them closer. Little does he know, the literality of this statement.
He looks at the spatting beasts and decides its time for them to make nice. He flips a switch and their containment area's crystal diodes begin to spin along the circular track that circled the cell. The animals looked at this and seemed scared of it and began to bark and hiss at the spinning objects. Francois was pleased they weren't fighting with one anoter but the experiment was far from over.
Soon, the cat and the dog got closer to one another. Where their fur and skin met they started melding together, fusing and becoming one. They actually pushed together making the merging happen faster. Soon, the cat and dog had fused together completely to make a two headed beast, one half that of a Siamese Cat, the other of a Pit Bull. Francois gasped in disgust and then, realized the true success of the experiment. The cat and the dog would no longer spat.
Then, as the crystal diodes slowed down, they broke open releasing a blue energy. Francois saw this energy pass straight through him, but he didn't appear harmed. What he didn't know, the energy wave had traveled across the world. The energy was a special type of energy that Francois named Duosion Energy. After the wave, any skin to skin contact between any number of human beings or animals fused the place of skin contact. The idea of Duosion energy and merging wasn't exactly welcomed but eventually, it became customary to be merged with at least one other person at all times.
