"Okay Siobhan, I'll let her know, don't worry, we can pencil you in for another day." Kay said to one of the salon's regular clients who had just phoned up to cancel her manicure appointment. Putting the phone down, Kay sighed and with a stroke of her pen she put a line through Siobhan's name on the register. Seconds later, Carly walked in with a fresh cup of coffee, her 4-inch stiletto pumps clicking on the hard floor as she did so. Her black pumps went nicely with her white knee-length skirt and her short sleeved black salon top. "That was Siobhan on the phone, she had to cancel." Kay told her.
"Oh, okay luv, looks like I've got a free half hour then." Carly responded, before taking another sip of her coffee and sitting down, crossing her legs. "I might pop down to Wilko in a bit and grab a few things before Michelle gets here." she continued, referring to one of her friends, who also had an appointment that morning.
Kay looked up to Carly, wondering if she would actually let her look after the salon until she got back for once. But that was overly hopeful it turned out. "Zoe will be in soon anyway, she starts at 10:00am." Carly announced, glancing at her watch.
"Oh, that's okay then." Kay smiled, before glancing back down at the register.
Five minutes later, Carly finished her coffee and grabbed her purse, then she checked her reflection in the mirror on the wall to the right of the reception desk. She broke off from checking her make-up when the bell above the door jingled and Zoe strolled in, smiling at both Kay and her best friend. "Morning girls." she waved, closing the door behind her. Zoe was wearing her usual black, short-sleeved Beautylicious top, along with a pair of boot-cut black slacks and her favorite black patent high heels.
"Morning!" Kay replied, looking up at Zoe as she passed by the desk.
"I'm just heading to Wilko since Siobhan cancelled her appointment." Carly explained to Zoe, after giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek and a hug. "Look after the salon while I get back okay hun."
"No problem." Zoe said in a peppy tone, as she set her purse down.
After Carly had left for Wilko, Zoe went in the back to make a cup of coffee, and that left Kay sat there alone in the main reception area. She sighed again, feeling a little worthless. But that was when the door opened again, but this time the bell did not jingle, not that Kay noticed. "Um... hello, can I help you?" Kay asked the man who walked in. He was about 6'0" tall, maybe in his 40's, was dressed in what looked like a delivery man's uniform and he had a neatly groomed beard and mustache.
"No thank you young lady. But I think rather... I can help you." The man replied, flashing her a confident smile.
"Oh?" Kay said, standing up on her own black leather 3-inch heeled ankle boots, which gave her a height boost, but only to 5'4". Her boots were complimented by her black slacks (similar to Zoe's) and a pink salon tunic that slightly hid her chubby figure.
The strange man placed a package on the desk, tapping it gently three times. "This is for you, to make your life a little more... exciting." He said, his smile turning into a more mischievous smirk that made Kay feel slightly nervous.
"I don't think I should just accept packages that I haven't ordered from people I don't know." Kay said.
The man kept smiling, seeming unoffended. "It isn't dangerous." He said, quickly unwrapping the package in front of Kay, who was tempted to call for Zoe. "See." He added, unfolding the brown packing paper that had wrapped the beat-up grey cardboard box inside. "Just take a look inside, you won't regret it, I promise." The man said to Kay, who scratched her head as he left the salon.
Sighing, Kay was hesitant as she stepped forward and opened the box slowly, revealing what looked like a Star Trek prop, one of the phasers from the original series which Kay had seen numerous times due to her boyfriend being a big 'Trekkie'. "Well, I guess Gareth will get a kick out of this thing." she shrugged, wondering why the man would have said it would change her life. Lifting the device out of the box, Kay found a note underneath, written in cursive.
Call this thing what you will, I don't think names matter. But what it does? That absolutely matters. This device can swap people's genitals, including your own if you wish, without them being aware. Not only that, but reality will shift to accomodate too. The swaps also have a rather unique side effect, which is to make everyone swapped incredibly horny, not only boosting their sex drive but their stamina as well. As you can imagine, things will get very 'lively' if... or rather when you start using it on people. Have fun with it.
"Yeah right." Kay frowned, not believing someone would try to pull a stunt like this. "Beam me up Scotty!" She held the device in her hand for a moment, then set it down on the reception desk next to the register. She could at least take it home to her boyfriend and let him add it to his Sci Fi collection. She then tore up the box, the note and the brown paper and binned them all, just as Zoe clicked back into the room with her coffee.
"Everything alright luv?" Zoe asked with a smile, sitting down at Carly's manicure tabe.
"Hm mm, yep." Kay nodded, running her fingers through her hair and resuming checking the client list. All the while, she kept glancing over at the weird device the man had brought her. She had to admit, she was curious if it would work or not.
