I walked up the creaky attic stairs behind my boyfriend, Alex.
We were going up there to search for some old boxes that might have some use.
As soon as we reached the top I noticed an old machine in a corner.
It was dusty and had some wires sticking out of it but it looked like it could still be used.
I pointed it out to Alex, "Hey what is this?"
He walked over to it, "I don’t know. It looks like some kind of scanner or something."
I reached out and touched one of the buttons.
It lit up, "It seems to still have power."
Alex gave me a cautious look, "Be careful with it."
"Maybe it can do something cool," I said back to him.
He raised an eyebrow, "Like what?"
"I don’t know. Let’s see."
I pressed a few more buttons and a screen lit up on the front of the machine.
It had a list of options, "It looks like we can change our appearance with it."
Alex looked hesitant, "Is that a good idea?"
"I don’t know but it could be fun. We could be anyone we want to be."
He looked at me, "Let’s do it."
I reached out and grabbed his hand, "Okay."
We stood in front of the screen, our fingers intertwined.
The machine started to hum and a soft blue light lit up around us.
The menu on the screen changed to show all the different appearance options we could change: height, hair color, facial features.
We scrolled through them together, pointing and giggling at some of the more outrageous options.
Alex said, "Let’s start with something simple. How about we just change our hair color?"
I nodded, "Okay."
I picked a bright red for myself and Alex chose a dark black.
Our hearts were both racing as we positioned ourselves in front of the scanner.
The countdown started: 3… 2… 1…
The blue light around us grew brighter and started to move up and down our bodies, scanning us from head to toe.
I gripped Alex’s hand tighter, fighting the urge to step away from the intense beam.
A tingling sensation spread across my scalp and I watched in the dusty mirror propped against the wall as my brown hair turned a bright red, strand by strand.
Next to me, Alex’s blonde hair turned a deep jet black.
He reached up and touched his head in disbelief, then ran his fingers through my new crimson locks.
"It actually worked," he whispered.
"Yeah, but did you see the other options?" I replied, my voice tinged with excitement.
Alex hesitated, "You mean the ones that weren't just about appearance?"
I nodded, "What if this machine can change more than just how we look?"
I scrolled down the menu on the screen, past the height, build, and facial feature options.
At the very bottom was a toggle that said gender.
It was greyed out and I couldn’t select it.
Alex looked over my shoulder, his eyes wide with concern, "Lily, maybe we shouldn’t mess around with this. We don’t know what it’s capable of."
I tapped the screen again, "Look at this."
He leaned in closer, his new black hair falling into his eyes.
"We could try something bigger than just hair color."
I flipped through the menu again until I found the preset options for different body types.
I picked a tall slender female one for Alex and a muscular male one for myself.
He started to protest but I took his hand again, "Just once. It’ll be fun."
I positioned us in front of the scanner and pressed the button to start the countdown.
The machine hummed louder as the blue light grew stronger around us.
Alex squeezed my hand, his voice barely a whisper, "Are you sure about this, Lily?"
I nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation, "We can always change back if we don’t like it."
The countdown reached zero, and Alex murmured, "Here goes nothing."
The machine’s light grew brighter, enveloping us in a warm blue glow.
I felt a tingling sensation across my skin, like static electricity.
I gripped Alex’s hand tighter as my muscles started to stretch and expand.
In the dusty old mirror propped against the wall, I watched as my shoulders broadened and my chest flattened.
Alex gasped next to me as his frame narrowed and his waist cinched in.
His hips flared out, giving him a curvy feminine shape.
His sharp jawline softened into delicate curves and his eyes grew bigger and more doe-like.
My own features shifted, becoming angular and sharp.
My hands grew larger and my fingers thickened.
I felt like I was being pulled and molded like clay, my body reshaping itself into something entirely new.
When the light faded, I turned to see a beautiful woman standing next to me where Alex had been.
She had long legs and a slender waist that flared out into curvy hips.
Her face was delicate with full lips and big brown eyes.
Alex blinked at me, her voice shaky, "Lily, I... I look so different."
I nodded, trying to keep my own surprise in check, "You look amazing, Alex. How do you feel?"
She hesitated, glancing at her reflection, "It's strange but... kind of freeing."
I took her hand, "Let’s go get changed into some new clothes."
We headed to my room and I rummaged through my closet, pulling out a flowy summer dress and a pair of sandals that would fit her new form.
I handed them to Alex, who took them hesitantly, her fingers trembling slightly.
She touched the soft fabric of the dress and then looked at me, "I... I don’t know what to do."
I nodded, "Go behind my closet door. I’ll find you something to wear."
As she changed behind the door, I looked through my dad’s old clothes that he had left in the house.
I found a pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt that would hang loosely on my now larger frame.
When I was dressed, I turned back to see Alex awkwardly tugging at the hem of the dress.
"Here," I said gently, helping her adjust the thin straps over her shoulders.
"I’m so sorry," she said as she fiddled with the straps.
"I don’t know how to do this."
I smiled reassuringly, "It’s okay. It’ll take some time to get used to. Let’s practice walking in these new shoes."
The sandals were a little loose on Alex’s narrow feet but they would work for now.
I helped her stand up and she gripped my hand tightly as we started toward the bedroom door.
"Where are we going?"
She asked nervously.
"To the living room," I replied.
"I want to try walking down the stairs before we head outside."
