Sean walked around the campus, looking for a good female subject to use his Chronivac device on. He stopped and smiled when he saw Ashley sitting on a
bench, flipping through a fashion magazine. The beautiful Ashley was Dan's girlfriend. This could be good, especially considering the condition her Dan was in now.
Sean walked up to her and said hi. She gave him a cool look and didn't appear to recognize him, so he had to remind her he was Dan's roommate.
"Oh, yes," she responded with a casual disinterest. "The gay one. Hi."
Sean forced a friendly smile. "You have a date tonight with Dan, don't you? Well, there is a problem."
"What's wrong?" Ashley asked. "Is he sick?"
"He's not his normal self today," Sean said. It was the honest truth.
