Angie was a smart girl : she didn't have to think for long to understand.
First, the girls had talked about a reality changing device. And then, about the importance of wording, so people would notice things happening if you were using the future in your sentences, but wouldn't if you were just describing things as you wanted them to be. Then, with some guts she didn't know she had, Angie had managed to take this dictaphone from Josh's bag to make sure those stories were true... and now were those recordings.
The equation was quite simple : this was indeed the reality device the girls had been speaking about. But Josh had recorded that the girls could see the changes made with the device, so the first thing to do was change that. Or else, the girls would instantly know that something was wrong, and everybody knew that catgirls were faster, stronger and better than regular humans, so the twins there would take this incredible device back from Angie within a few seconds.
She decided to give the device a first try, and quickly hid it in her pencil case, and began by... erasing what was previously recorded in, so the catgirls couldn't notice changes anymore. She only remembered too late that this would shrink the twins sexy breasts by a cup size, as it was recorded in : she didn't mind having them overflowing their clothes. But the second she pressed the erase button, she heard a sparkling sound, and then a deflating sound, like air coming out of balloons, coming from the catgirls : their breasts were shrinking ! This was the real deal !
Their clothes seemed to be less tight around their chests, and their cleavage a bit less provocative, but there was no way they couldn't notice it ! Still, they didn't, which meant... it had worked ! It had changed reality ! And the girls hadn't noticed, neither had Josh when he looked at them, looking bored by the lesson ! Angie couldn't help but cry a little in surprise and joy, making everyone else look at her :
"Is there a problem, Angie ? asked the teacher
- No sir ! Not at all !"
She was blushing : she felt ridiculous. But hell, this was the best day of her life ! She noticed Josh looking strangely at her, and then beginning to rummage through his bag, suspicious. She quickly reacted by clicking the record button to whisper "Josh, Sapphy and Esmy forget everything about this dictaphone !" the second she pressed stop, panicked, Josh froze and then sighed, getting his hand out of his bag, like he didn't know what he had been searching for in the first place. Little did Angie know that she had just erased the memory of the only man on Earth that still remembered that catgirls hadn't existed in the first place. The last witness of the reality before the dictaphone just forgot, as simply as this.
Angie's heart was beating so fast : she had almost been caught. She was afraid of it happening again. Caught by Josh, by the catgirls, by the teacher, one way or the other even if none of them was supposed to know what she was doing right now. She was sweating and still blushing from the teacher asking her why she had just let out a little cry earlier. She felt stupid and ridiculous at once. And her hands were shaking at the idea of using the dictaphone again, even if she had managed to secure the situation in a way.
I shouldn't be so afraid ! This is my luck ! I've always been shy and afraid of everything ! And right now, I feel so ashamed for stealing this from Josh... I know this is a once in lifetime, maybe thousands of lifetimes opportunity, but still, I feel so bad...
Those thoughts were running in her head, and it was making her so confused : she couldn't hear the lesson, couldn't think of what to do, couldn't help but look at Josh and the girls, fearing each of their moves... okay, Angie, the first thing you need is : a clear mind ! Give yourself some guts, it'll be useful every single day of your life ! And it's a very reasonable change to begin with ! she thought.
With a shaking hand, she opened her pencil case again, and almost laid on her desk as she was bending to whisper in the dictaphone, ready to record :
"I have a super confidence boost"
She heard the sparkling sound.
And then, felt like the weight of the world was lifted from her shoulders. She took a deep breath this very second, feeling like her lungs were bigger and more powerful than ever, as all the things making her doubt about herself and what she was doing were vanishing. She felt so... great ! So happy ! She smiled and looked around like the world was a better place to be. And having the dictaphone was just feeling even better.
But she missed something.
Her doubts were vanishing along with her qualms. Her morals. And everything that had been trying to restrain her from doing whatever she wanted. Her fantasies were turning more vivid. He thirst for power was growing as she suddenly knew that she was a girl worth a lot more than all the others. That she deserved all she had, and of course, a lot more. She was Angie Marsh, and she could rule the world. She felt superior. And had no doubts about it. Her smile turned into a greedy grin.
She stood up in the middle of the class, and the teacher turned back, frowning. What was Angie doing ? Since Angie had her boost right now, past hadn't been altered, so the man wondered why the shy girl was standing and smiling proudly at him.
"Miss Marsh, could you tell me what you're doing now ?
- Of course : I've just realized I had no reason to stay in your boring class.
- What ? Miss Marsh, to the vice principal office right now !"
Her classmates were looking at her like she was an alien. Her best friend Lucy was grabbing her sleeve "Angie, are you crazy ? What are you doing, are you on drugs ?"
She laughed, and took the dictaphone in her hand : "I'm headed to another destination, but don't worry, you won't remember any of this, none of you ! So, bye bye, I'm off to my house !" she pressed the record button and said "I'm back to my bedroom with my things, and nobody but me remembers what just happened, as for them, I've been with them studying carefully until the end of the day !"
The sparkling sound was followed by the apparition of a white fog, that engulfed everything around Angie, as the confused faces of her classmates disappeared. For a few seconds, she could only see the strange fog around her, then it vanished to reveal her bedroom. At least, here, she'd be able to experiment without anyone bothering her. She pressed the record button saying :
"I have a huge mirror on a wall of my bedroom."
A part of her old wallpaper disappeared and turned into a huge, square mirror, revealing her scrawny body. She looked at her old computer, not good enough for her geeky tastes, and with another record, added :
"My computer is a laptop, super powerful so I won't ever have to worry about it for my games, and a built-in unlimited internet access so fast I could download the whole internet in less than one second. And it has vocal commands only working for me."
Her computer exploded in a cloud of smoke, only to be replaced by a black laptop with, written like it was an official mark, "Angie" written over it. She laughed : with the mirror she would have a good look as she was going to change herself. And with the computer, she could search for models and ideas and... hell, it would be useful for a girl with tastes like her, anyway.
Now, she had to think : what should the new Angie be ?
