The Midtown Mall Food Court.
Midday, Saturday.

A table in the corner sat 2 friends: Paul & Mitchell. They weren’t the most popular guys in school but weren’t totally outcasts. They were on the nerdy side of things but being kind of nerdy was in this year so they were mid range popularity.

Paul had been summoned to the mall via text message from Mitchell because he had something he wanted to show him. He wouldn’t say what.

“So…. What is this mystery item you wanted to show me?” Paul asked before he took a big sip from his mid sized soda drink that he had gotten from the Banana Julia stand.

“This!” Mitchell said as he placed a small device on the table.

The device was a rectangular in shape. Looked a bit like a knock off iPod: centralized small screen on top of the device.  Buttons, knobs & switches below the screen. Poking out of the top was a small antenna.

“And that is?” Paul asked questioning.

“Not sure. The guy at Podcast Shed said it was a Swapper & from what I could tell from his sales pitch to me is that it could swap stuff around.”

“What kind of stuff?”

“Body parts mainly. He told me that he has one that he uses with his girlfriend to experience things as her during & I quote the art of love making.”

Both of them physically tried to shake any & all mental images of what might of meant.

“While I was waiting for you, I was looking at the manual & there seems to be a setting for copying parts to create a new person.”

“But you said it was a swapper, not a copier.”

“I know but that’s seems to be what the manual said it could do.”

“So…” Paul asked. “That’s all you wanted to tell me? You could have done that over text. I was playing the new multiplayer campaign in World of Fantasy XIV: Nuclear Fallout Remastered Edition!”

“Would you have believed me?” Mitchel asked, with one eyebrow raised & a questioning look on his face.

“no. But you could have still told me via Text.”

“I also brought you here to help you get a girlfriend.”

“What?” Paul said a bit loudly, enough for a few people to turn their heads in his direction.

“I know how it’s been since Erin dumped you…”

“No…” Paul interrupted. “We mutually broke up.”

Mitchell rolled his eyes. “Sure… I know how its been since you mutually broke up with Erin & since you haven’t been having much look with the ladies. I thought we could make you one.”

“From what?” Paul said unsure of what was going on.

“Not from what, who!” Mitchell said with a smile on his face as he motioned with his left arm to the food court.

“Take you pick & we’ll copy some parts to make you the perfect girlfriend. Not sure we can get her looking like your main in WoF XIV but we can try.”

Mitchell looks around briefly “I don’t think anyone has that size of boobs, we might need to copy a few sets to get own dream girl to have that size of rack.”

“Hey!” Paul said as he punched Mitchell in the arm. “Amberlynn doesn’t have that big of boobs!”

“Sure…” Mitchell said as he rubbed his arm & rolled his eyes.

Just then Marley Ann walked by.

“What about her?” Mitchell whispered as he pointed her out. “She’d make for a good base for your new girlfriend.”

Paul looked her own. Marley Ann was the most popular girl in school. He nodded & Mitchell did something on the device.

There was a low hum for a few seconds & then the device made a chirper PING noise. There on the device’s small screen was the image of Marley Ann. The device must of scanned her.

“Now we shouldn’t just make a copy of her so let’s get from other parts from a few other girls.” Mitchell said as he looked around the food court.

After a few minutes of looked & scanning, Paul’s new girlfriend was the combined parts of:

- Marley Ann’s skin tone & torso.
- Margo’s massive breasts & butt (The rumor around the school was that Margo gotten both down over the summer. The size & shape of those parts don’t change that much over a 3 month period).
- Amber’s toned to perfection arms & hands.
- Alice’s long legs & cute feet.
- Ellen’s perfect girl next door face & voice.
- Jane’s straight platinum blonde hair.

Each time they aimed the device at a girl, the device made the same low hum & chirper PING once it was done scanning her.

“Ok… I think that we just about have perfect girlfriend made up. All she needs is a mind to go in that pretty little head of hers.” Mitchell said as he admired the frankensteined image of the girls who had happened to walk by them.

Mitchell stopped looking at the image on the device & turned to Paul with a look on his face that Paul wasn’t sure about.

“What?”

“I have the perfect choice from her mind!”

“Who’s mind?”

“Yours!”

“What?” Paul said loudly as people again turned around to look in his direction.

“Yeah! It’s make the most sense. You two would be in perfect since with each other! She’d be into everything you are so no disagreements there! It’s the perfect choice!”

Before Paul could really dissuade Mitchell from this course of action, Michell had already aimed the device at him & started the device on scanning him.

There was still the same hum, it was a bit louder this time. Not by much but still louder then the other times.  The PING was a bit angrier & Paul felt a bit dizzy when it was over.

“You ok?” Mitchell asked.

“Yeah. I think so.”

“Ok. Let’s make us a girlfriend!” Mitchell said as he pressed a button on the device.

This time there was a bright flash of blue light to accompany the mid level hum & PING noise. Paul felt like his body was being torn apart & put back together again. He felt like throwing up a bit.

Once Paul’s eyes got over the blinding blue flash, Mitchell was starring at time oddly.

“What?!” Paul said.

His voice sounded different. It wasn’t it’s normal pitch, It was higher then normal.

Paul moved his arm to brush some hair of his face. The hair was blonde & the hand brushing it out of the way wasn’t his.

Paul took a closer look at the hand & looked a lot like Amber’s hand but it had Marley Ann’s skin laid over it.

“DUDE!” Paul yelled.

“Yeah?” Mitchell said, a bit timidly.

“What did you do?”

Then from behind Paul, came a familiar voice. It was Paul’s voice. “Hey Guys! What’s up?”

Paul turned around & Mitchell looked up from Paul to see Ellen standing there. But she had Paul’s face instead of her own.

“What?” Ellen said with Paul’s voice.

Paul turned back to Mitchell “Dude! What did you do?”
