"What have you DONE to me, Jessica?" Cody snapped.
Jessica walked to the middle of the living room and sat on the couch. She calmly took the Chronivac (which could operate on it's own for use in simple changes) and placed it on the coffee table. Then she tapped a few buttons.
Cody's giddy feelings evaporated when he saw Jessica's new machine. "Answer me! Don't be so smug!" Cody was growing angrier by the second. He tried to stomp around the room, but found that whatever had changed his clothing had subtly changed his behavior. His stomps wound up being short, graceful strides. His stockinged feet landed softly on the wood floor, making light swishing sounds.
Jessica stared at him with excitement. "Remember when we used to play together as little kids? Before you started being mean to me, and before we started hanging out with different groups of friends? I got this amazing machine that will let us reconnect with each other! I used it to help you remember your softer side."
Cody yelled. "We played together when we were little kids! People grow up and change, Jessica! I'm not a little kid anymore and neither are you! Look what you did to my clothes!"
Cody intended to jump up into the air and come down hard to finish making his point. Instead, he planted his left foot firmly on the floor and raised his right leg over his head, holding onto it with one arm, until his legs were completely vertical.
"WHAT HAVE YOU -DONE- TO ME? Change me back right NOW!"
Cody's leg came back down. Jessica tried a different approach.
"I see the way you look in school when you tease me, Cody. I don't think you really enjoy it. You're just trying to impress those guys you hang out with! I've used this machine to remove some of your aggression, in addition to your... wardrobe alterations." She frowned. "I thought I was helping you. You were happier before, after all."
Swish. Swish. Swish. Cody wasn't listening. He ran to his bedroom and locked the door.
Jessica sat patiently on the couch, pondering her next move, chewing on a pen.
Cody was trying to get his leotard off. He knew he couldn't cut it off, and he was unable to take it off as it was forming, but it had been finished for some time now. Cody slipped his left arm out of the sleeve and pushed it through the collar. The leotard behaved like a regular piece of clothing! He did the same with his right arm and pulled the collar wide to slip it down over his shoulders. He pushed it down to his waist.
Cody's face formed a smug grin. "Ha! It's working."
He pulled the leotard down and off of his legs. He unrolled the tights past his waist, and down to his knees. He hopped a bit to maintain his balance as he extricated his legs from their stretchy prison.
Since he was now naked, he threw on some underwear, an old shirt and some jeans, and ran, stomping back downstairs to gloat in Jessica's face. As he reached the bottom step, Jessica's angry eyes met his. Her hovering finger rapped a single key.
Immediately Cody's blue jeans turned palest white. All seams disappeared as they constricted and wrapped themselves around his legs and feet, reforming the white tights.
"NO! JESSICA, STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" His shirt quickly turned black and seemed to liquefy. It reformed his leotard, except with a wider collar this time, exposing his upper chest.
Cody yelled and threw his arms in the air. They met above his head as he spun around on one toe. He wanted to punch Jessica in the face.
Jessica tapped a few more keys, and clicked her tongue. "Cody, if I can't have my old friend back after all, I guess I'll just have to make a new one."
Cody felt a shifting between his legs. His bulge was retreating and retracting. He felt an odd sensation as he felt something inside of him reconfigure itself. "Jessica, you wouldn't dare!" His voice sounded basically the same, but seemed to lack its usual deep resonance. It sounded a bit tinny to his ears.
Shaking with fury, Cody stopped spinning and put his hands on his hips, which began to widen slightly. His legs became even more slender and curvy. He felt some of his muscle mass melt away, and rubbed at his arm with a suddenly softer looking hand. His waist tapered a bit as his organs shifted around. Cody now had an hourglass figure, in fact, minus the breasts.
His hands shot up to his head, which started to itch. Cody's brown hair grew out, past his shoulders and down his back. Jessica laughed. "Cody, I had a great idea. I am changing you into a girl! We'll be best friends now for sure, trust me!"
Cody screamed as her B-cup breasts shot out from her formerly flat chest with an audible POP, cleavage visible behind the low cut leotard.
Jessica handed her the ballet shoes.
