Xander Harris

"I wish my parents were better, happier, healthier people." He pushed the button. "Here's hoping this works."

He waited a minute and then he walked out of his room and downstairs to the living room of his house.

Things were changed. His father and mother werent drunk by six p.m. on a weekday, splayed out on the sofa. Apparently, asking for his parents to be fixed before pushing the button had worked. Tony and Jessica Harris werent blotto drunk on the couch before sundown.

The change was pretty obvious.

His mom and dad were up and about in the kitchen having fun making dinner. They were obviously changed. Not only were they dressed better but they each looked better. Not being drunk was just the start.

His dad looked physically fitter with his pot belly having gone away, the thinning hair had filled in, he was smiling, he was actually affectionate with his wife. His mom was really changed. Gone was the frumpy mom bod, now his mom had a body that would put Pam Anderson to shame. She was dressed in nice if tight clothes. She was laughing and teasing her husband as they got dinner ready.

It was surreal.

Staying on the bottom step, hidden mostly from view, Xander just watched as his parents were happy. He was over the moon happy too.

Until...

"So who are you shooting with tomorrow?" Tony asked.

Jessica picked up the loaf of french bread and holding it to her groin she waved it about.

Tony snorted, "Ah, Him."

"Yeah, him." Jessica laughed and put the loaf of french bread back on the counter. "When's your next shoot?"

"Over the weekend."

"Whose it with?"

Tony shrugged. "A couple different girls. I play the gardner at estate who takes care of the women that live there."

"Anyone I know?" Jessica asked.

"Nah," Tony shook his head, "Its a bunch of new girls, first or second timers. Nobody we know."

Jessica winced, "That's... well, here's hoping they can at least be professional about it. Nothing worse than a girl thinking she can do porn and then getting cold feet when its time to start shooting."

Tony hmmed in agreement.

Xander slowly crept back up the steps as he tried to process what it was he just heard. He could only think one thing-

WHAT THE HELL?
