"You think they'll be alright?" Zoe asked as they headed down the road from the soccer pitch.
“Oh yeah” Jess replied, adjusting the shoulder straps on her bag. “You, me, and both of them are the only ones who remember their lives prior. Everyone else will simply believe that Millie’s family always had a dog called Millie, and that she and Scott would regularly meet up in the park for their animalistic fun.” She giggled at the last part.
“So it can really do that? It can really just change reality so no one notices the change?”
“Well you don’t remember that I was a guy do you?” Jess looked at her hopefully.
“Well no.” Zoe finally admitted, “But when you told me, I didn’t disbelieve you. It’s like I had always suspected, that at the back of my mind, niggling away was the possibility, and almost everything besides that stayed the same.”
“Almost everything. Let’s remember, you and I are lesbian lovers now.” Jess added poking her new girlfriend in the stomach, causing a snort of laughter to escape.
Zoe smiled and then thought. “I still don’t think I’m a lesbian” She finally admitted. “You might be, as you still remember being a guy, but the thought of being with another girl is a turn off for me still.” Jess looked at her confused. “It’s weird, but when I was with you, I didn’t feel like I was a lesbian, I felt like I was with a boyfriend. I don’t know how to explain it. I’d do it again though.” She leant her head on Jess’s shoulders as they walked and Jess instinctively put her arms around her. Maybe they were destined to be together. Maybe Jeff should have asked Zoe out. If that was the case he was an idiot for not doing it before. But right now, Jess couldn’t imagine any other life, and any other person she’d rather spend it with.
“Let’s head home and have some fun with it.” Jess said waving the Chronivac in front of the shorter haired girl. “We still don’t know everything it can do.” And with that the two soccer girls ran off down the street, heading back to Jess’ place.
