A moment later, Dr. Pott returned, smiling just as much as she was before.
Does she ever not smile? Jon wondered.
"All done?" she asked.
"Yep," Jon answered, handing her the questionnaire.
"Come this way," she said.
Jon stood up and followed her down a hallway and into a small laboratory-like room. There was a chair in the middle of the room that looked like one of those reclining dentist chairs.
"Take a seat. This won't take long," she said.
Jon shrugged, then sat down in the chair. It wasn't the most comfortable thing to sit in, but at least he wouldn't be standing while he waited for his fantasy girl to arrive.
He turned his head and watched as Dr. Pott put his questionnaire into some sort of scanner machine. On a nearby flat-screen monitor, Jon saw the words: SCANNING VARIABLES. Then a new screen came up. This one had an outline of a person. At first it was androgynous, but then it looked more and more female. As this was happening, new words appeared: CREATING NEW PARAMETERS.
Hmm, Jon thought. Creating new parameters? It almost sounds like they can create my own fantasy girl. Jon smiled. This was even better than a matchmaking service. He'd get exactly what he wanted.
Suddenly, there was a whirring sound coming from within the scanning machine. And then a small door opened on the side. Dr. Pott reached in and pulled out what looked like a fairly large hypodermic needle filled with some kind of pinkish purple liquid. Jon watched as the liquid literally swirled around inside the needle.
"Wait, what's that for?" Jon asked.
A second later, Jon nearly shrieked as his feet and hands were restrained to the chair.
"What's happening? Why are you doing this?"
"The transformation can be overwhelming sometimes. Believe me, the restraints are for your own good."
"Wait, transformation?" Jon had a sinking feeling that that questionnaire he filled out had absolutely nothing to do with getting a date. "I ... I changed my mind. I ..."
Dr. Pott put her hand on his arm. "It's okay to have last-second jitters. I had it myself when I transformed myself into a man. Wow, that was an experience I'll never forget. Just don't worry, okay? You'll become just like what you asked for."
"What I asked for?" Jon asked. Then it finally dawned on him, just as Dr. Pott was injecting him with that pinkish purple liquid. He was about to become his own fantasy girl.
