Dinner is over

Dinner slowly wound to a close, and for Kyle, it couldn’t end soon enough. His phone buzzed at a steady pace with updates, likes, and friend requests. The girls insisted that he show them the updates with each buzz as they commented on people, having him accept the friend requests, replying, and sending out friend requests of his own all through dinner.

Kyle was ready to head back to Uncle Mark’s to end this day, but was dragged outside to the patio again after dinner.

“So tomorrow is shopping,” Melissa said, “and that’s our off day. Wednesday is cardio, so you can come with us!”

“Cardio?” Kyle asked. “Go where?”

“Workout day!” Robin answered. “We work out together every other day. We can get you a guest pass to our gym! We’ll be doing spinning, so make sure you have some workout gear.”

Kyle’s phone buzzed and he looked at it.

Notification from MARCI

Exercise at gym Wednesday AM and every other day.

“New like?” Darla asked.

“No,” Kyle said. “Just a notification by the system.”

“Aw,” Robin said. “We’ll work on getting more pictures up on your accounts, though. Don’t worry.”

“Great!” Kyle said, feigning excitement. He was feeling defeated after this long, uncomfortable day.

“Look, I’m sorry,” Kyle said, “But I’m getting sleepy. It’s been a... fun day!” He added, trying to be friendly. “And it’s been great hanging out with all of you, but I’m just tired. I want to get a shower and get into bed.”

The girls all said they understood, that beauty sleep was important, and that they’d see him tomorrow for a fun filled day of shopping.

Kyle found Sam, who was back playing video games. “Sam, I’d appreciate you coming back to uncle Mark’s with me so I don't have to walk by myself.” Kyle said.

Sighing, Sam exited out of the game. The pair thanked Melissa’s parents for the wonderful meal, and Kyle got another round of hugs from the girls.

After they trudged back to their uncle’s, Kyle tossed Sam his phone, “Get MARCI off this thing I am beat and really want to go to bed!”

Sam ran up to his room and sat down to look over the phone.

Kyle appeared in the doorway to his room and stood there, leaning against the doorway, arms crossed over his chest, looking really like an angry teenage girl.

“Don’t mess it up this time like you did with the computer! I want to get out of this outfit and get into bed!” Kyle said.

“Of course, mistress,” came MARCI’s automated response.

“Wait! What??” Kyle cried out as arms pulled him into an alcove and a wall slid into place, obscuring the view.

Kyle’s shouting at MARCI made Sam laugh.

“Hmm nope that wont work.” Sam muttered, as Kyle was deposited back into the doorway. He was now in a lace trimmed pink nightie that showed off her impressive chest and was just long enough to cover her new soft pink panties, and his hair pulled back in a ponytail. His makeup had been removed, and he was obviously now dressed for bed.

“There. Shall I put you into bed, mistress?” MARCI asked the annoyed boy.

“No thank you!” Kyle said between clenched teeth. “Tell me you got in,” he said to Sam.

“Sorry no such luck sis, MARCI is hardwired into this thing I can't remove her without killing the phone. She is apparently also the phones core system.” Sam said.

"Great. Just another wonder of technology turned against me. I'm exhausted I'm going to bed." Said Kyle as he took back his phone and stomped off.

Kyle shut his door and got into bed setting his phone on the bedside table and stared blankly at the ceiling. His uncle thought he wanted to be like this. And his new friends only knew him like this, there wasn’t anything he could do about it. He was stuck as Bambi until the end of summer. It was a long time before Kyle’s running thoughts allowed him to drift off to sleep.

PS. I'M ABOUT TO DO THE FIRST OF SEVERAL DREAMS CAUSED BY MARCI THAT WILL BEGIN TO SHAPE KYLE. I WOULD LOVE INPUT ON WHAT WAYS YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE THIS GO.
