(Two weeks after transforming Lucy into a disembodied head)
“Alright, if what I have planned for Lucy works, she will become part of the greatest magic/scientific breakthrough in the history of the world…As far as I know.” I said out loud to only myself in the apartment. Unless you count Debby the plant as a person still…or Billy the mug for that matter. Still not sure why they chose to stay transformed like they are but I’m not one to judge.
I turned my attention back to the tf app, making sure it was open on my phone ready to go for my experiment. Now the only thing left to do was to use the wand attachment and transform Lucy. But only if she agrees to partake in my experiment. I left my room, wand and phone in hand, and came to the kitchen where Lucy still hung by her ponytail above the dining table. She was asleep at the moment and she was absolutely adorable the way she slightly swayed back and forth with every breath. I still don’t know why or how she breaths as just a head, but nonetheless it’s cute to see her like this.
Finally I decided to wake her up so I gave her a couple of light nudges. “Wakey Wakey Lucy!”
Lucy slowly opened her eyes and blinked the sleepies out before spotting my very eager demeanor. “Good morning Steph. I don’t typically get woken up this early by you so you must have something up your sleeve.”
I whistled innocently, holding the wand and phone behind my back. “You are absolutely right. I do have something exciting planned and guess what, I want you to be a part of it.”
Lucy eyed me suspiciously, “That look you have. That’s usually the look you make when you want to do something you know sounds ridiculous. But whatever, I’m just a disembodied head at your mercy so why even ask if I want to take part in your mad scientist playtime?”
I didn’t like her dismissive attitude. “Ah come on, your not just a head Lucy, your my best friend and roommate. Plus, the reason I’m asking and not just doing, is because what I have planned would be a sort of long term thing, and I want you to be fully on board with it before I do it.”
“Long term huh? And I see you have the wand and app ready to go, so obviously the idea involves transforming me into something. What are you up to Steph?”
I started looking a bit nervous as shifted back and forth. “Well I was thinking. What if there was a way to use the tf app and wand attachment to merge you with the app itself? You know, sort of like an AI sort of thing. Think about it, you would literally be the one doing the transformations.”
“You want to transform me into the TF Apps personal AI? Do you hear how insane that is?! You literally want to turn me into a phone app.”
I was a bit sad by her dismissive tone. “Yeah, I know it sounds crazy. You know what, it was a stupid idea anyways. Just forget I mentioned it. Sorry Luce.”
I turned to walk away, but suddenly Lucy spoke up again. “Hey, Where are you going? Look, just because I think it’s a crazy idea, doesn’t mean I’m not interested.”
“Wait, are you serious? You might actually agree to become part of the TF App?”
She attempted to nod but only made her head swing more. “Yeah, I think it sounds like a pretty fun idea honestly. But if I agree to do this for you, I want to make sure that you do this right. I don’t want to be some basic ass AI that can’t enjoy herself while transforming others”
I shook my head in agreement, “Of course, of course. That’s why I didn’t just want to transform you randomly. I want this to be fun for both of us. Plus, If I recall, you have some weird fetish about being a robot. Is that true?”
Lucy smiled, “Oh yeah, big time fetish. The thought of being nothing more than code gets me all tingly inside.”
“Haha, we’ll that’s great to hear. Ok, so my plan was to make you into the AI interface for the app, where you would be able to control what transformation happens and how long it lasts. In other words the wand would basically be pointless at that point since you would control the transformations.”
“Ooh, that sounds fun! So I would merge with the app on your phone, got it. What happens when the app is not open? Do I just go into like a stasis of some sort?”
“Yeah, that was the thought at least. I figured, if you want the full AI experience, then being turned off is part of that. We can make it where you’re active at all times though.”
“No, no. I want the full experience. When the app is off, I’m off. But make it to where I’m like Siri. If you call my name, I appear on screen ready to go.”
“Oh yeah, that’s a great idea. So how do you want your appearance to be?”
“Hmm, make me look half robot, half human. And really sexy as well.”
“Got it. Is there any other features you want?”
“Hmmm, not really. I think we’ve covered all of the big ones. I really just want to get onto the transformation to see what it feels like to become a real life AI. Wait, you mentioned this being a long term transformation earlier. How long are we talking?”
“Well I can leave that up to you. We can test run this experiment for maybe a week. Or if you want I can set a stipulation on it to make the form last longer. It’s up to you?”
Lucy thought long and hard about her decision. But she knew what she wanted. “Nah, a week doesn’t sound fun at all. Steph, I trust you. Not just as a roommate or a friend, but as a sister. I want this transformation to be my new form for quite some time. And in order to do that, you need to make a pretty steep stipulation.”
I was shocked to hear what Lucy was saying. “Luce, what are you getting at? Are you saying make this permanent? I don’t want to lose my best friend.”
She smiled, “You’re not losing me. I’ll be at your side at all times. Plus, it never really would be permanent. All you’d have to do is use the wand again to free me. Simple as that. Now can we get passed the sentimental stuff before I start crying and trying to hug you with my imaginary arms?”
I smiled at her with tears starting up. “Fine, I’ll get started then. See you on the other side Luce.” I said before kissing her on the cheek and then bringing the wand up to her dainty nose. As I tapped the wand on her nose a spark of light came out from the end of it that engulfed Lucy’s head. Shortly after, I watched as her head was sucked into the screen of my phone that I was holding out in front of me. Soon enough Lucy was no longer hanging above the kitchen table.
I quickly moved my attention to the app, hoping to see Lucy’s face show up any moment, but it never did. I waited a couple more minutes, hoping she would show up, but she still didn’t so I started getting worried. Then I thought of the function that was supposed to be built into her now and decided to say her name out loud. Suddenly the TF App closed and my phone’s screen switched to a different display showing a update bar.
Once the update bar had filled, the screen changed again, and there in front of my eyes was exactly what I had been waiting for. A gorgeous half robot, half woman that resembled a chrome version of Lucy’s head. She was stunning to look at, with her supple lips and deep blue eye. I had never imagined an AI could be so sexy.
Lucy finally booted up all the way it seemed and stared forward at me. “Whoa, this is crazy! I’m really an AI now!” She saw a brief reflection of herself on a mirror behind Steph. “ And a hot one at that. This is so amazing Steph! Thank you for making this dream come true.”
“No problem. I’m happy you like it so far. However, it’s weird. I don’t think you’re merged with the TF App. I think you became your own app on my phone Lucy.”
“Whoa, that’s crazy. I bet the developers thought someone would try this and didn’t want someone messing with their magical code. Makes sense. So can you spot the name of my app?”
“I’m looking right now. It says that your app is simply called your first name L.U.C.Y. That’s fitting I guess. Congrats Lucy, I think you’re the first ever Human transformed into a magical phone app.”
“Woohoo! This is exciting! So what was the stipulation you had to make so I stayed this way? I bet it had to be something clever.”
“Not really. I simply made the stipulation that you can’t change back to normal until you stop enjoying being an AI. So as long as you enjoy this form, you’re stuck this way.”
“Really? That’s amazing! And so far, I don’t see me hating this form anytime soon so guess what your stuck with me. Hehe.” We both laughed a bit until Lucy thought of one more thing. “So I know you keep saying I’m in charge of making transformations and everything, but what kind of power do you hold over me other than I’m stuck in your phone? Surely I don’t have complete free will.” She said jokingly.
“Oh just the usual stuff. Like, you can’t transform me unless I give you an order to do so or if I wish for it. And if I give you a command to do something you have to do it no matter what. But other than that, you’re free to change people or things whenever I have the app open.”
“Ooh, so I’m kinda like a genie too. Neat. Oh powerful Steph, what shall be thy bidding?”
I giggled a bit and decided to play along. “Well L.U.C.Y., my first order of business is for you to erase all memory of ever being human. You have always been an obedient AI, ready to serve your mistress, which is me.”
I waited a bit to see if Lucy’s demeanor changed, and laughed after I didn’t see any change in her expression. “Dang, I guess my fun little joke didn’t work. Guess I can’t get rid of your humanity after all.” I said jokingly. But then Lucy tilted her head confused at my statement. “I’m sorry mistress, I do not understand the joke. How can you get rid of my humanity when I was never Human to begin with?”
I stopped laughing after what she said, “Wait, what are you talking about? Do you seriously not remember being human Lucy?”
She just stared at me again blankly, “I do not remember being human mistress. I have always been your loyal AI, ready to serve at your command.”
It was a bit off putting to hear Lucy say that. My command really worked though. She really did erase her memory of being human. But if she didn’t recall being human anymore, what did that mean for my stipulation? Would she ever hate being an AI now? The thought of me trapping her as an AI for life was shockingly equal parts terrifying and arousing. Damn you weird fetishes.
I thought about my options for a bit, and really considered pulling the plug on this experiment and changing her back right then and there. But then I thought about how excited she was for this transformation and I decided that I would keep her like this for at least a little while. Who knows, maybe I can reteach her about humanity and she will slowly dream of what it’s like to be human and that’s when I change her back. Or the more likely thing happens and I get lonely without my roomie by my side and I use the wand to change her back. One thing was for sure though, I was not going to waste the opportunity of having an all powerful AI on my phone that could transform anything I wanted it to. I grinned devilishly, “L.U.C.Y., I think we are going to have a lot of fun together.”
