Time Travel and Transformation

Sophie picked up the white lab coat and put it on. Was she REALLY going to do this? Slowly approaching the table, she took a deep breath, her hand hovered over an empty glass bottle. Behind her, still working furiously on his latest invention, was Blaine, completely immersed in his project.

  "Whatcha doin?"

Sophie rolled her eyes as Pat swaggered past her, bold as brass, a cheeky swing in his step.

In the adjoining room, Nessa was working out, her companions were the two Plumbots.

"Ah, forget it," Sophie muttered.

She neither had the strength nor the energy to complete her task. Her schedule was filling up quite rapidly as client after client demanded her services as a Sing a Gram all around Dragon Valley. With that, she decided to retire to bed - in the fairy castle outside.

Grabbing the opportunity, Sonny Em decided to have a go at making potions and stuff. Since he didn't need a lab coat, he launched straight in there, carefully studying and mixing different compounds.

Finally, after several months of work, Blaine completed his latest invention. The Time Machine. Eager to try it out, he set the dial to the past ....

.... and launched himself right through the open door!

Blaine: Hope I don't get wet in there.

The machine hummed and vibrated as he skipped through a multitude of vortices, encountering many different platitudes and time warps along the way.

He returned, just in time for his award ceremony, led by the mayor of Dragon Valley himself! However, due to the persistent showers, just as Blaine knelt down to receive his medal of honour, he felt his knees rusting up with the damp.

And he shorted out. Right in front of the adoring crowd!
Oh my. How embarrassing!

In the meantime, Nessa, after hearing about her sisters' abandoned idea of turning her IF doll into a living Sim, decided that she would go ahead instead. She just needed a Rainbow Gem. And as luck would have it, there was one on the shelf. It was a rather complicated process. She had to take it to the science lab downtown to be processed. Then when it was finished, she had to cough up 4,500 Simoleans for the end product, the Imaginary Friend Metamorphium. Luckily, they had enough in the bank to pay for this luxury item.

Dashing home, she was met by a nervous Hespa.

"Do you want to be alive?" she asked her IF doll.
"Only if you are sure," came the reply, "besides, we don't know if this will work."
"According to the instructions, we have to have a strong enough relationship."
"Well, we are almost BFFs aren't we?"
"That's right!"
"Soooo, it SHOULD work ... right?"

Nessa watched as Hespa downed the bottle of potion.

"Nothing's happ .... ohhhh I feel all bubbly and swishy  and .... have you told your mother about this?"

The thought hadn't occurred to Nessa. She just wanted to see what Hespa looked like in the flesh.

Her thoughts drifted to a park bench. At a crucial time like this, what a thing to think about! A couple of hours later, the potion finally soaked into every fibre of Hespa's plush figure, and with a dramatic POP! The process was complete!

A smiling, pretty faced, blue haired young lady, stood before Nessa.

Hespa: Hello Ness, nice to see you!
Nessa: Hespa, you're ....
Hespa: Ugly? Not what you expected?
Nessa: No! You're ... adorable!
Hespa: Why thank you Ness. And thank you for bringing me to life!

After a quick makeover (she didn't need much) Hespa has turned out to be quite a looker!

So much so that she earned the interests of Sonny Em.

Sonny Em: Hello there, I haven't seen you around here.
Hespa: *giggles* yes you have, just not in this form, that's all.

Her happiness was short lived as, prior to her makeover, the side effects of the potion kicked in and she had to go vomit in the bathroom!

I'll bet Sophie wishes she'd turned Pat now. Just to see what he/she looked like!
