“Hell is forever whether you like it or not ~~” The sound of music starting blasting at max volume early in the morning.

 

“ALEXA IS AWAKE!” And Alexa screamed as she scrambled trying to untangle herself from the vicious vice of…her blanket that had attempted to consume the Alexa Taco Ver Mk2.

 

Such a vicious creature…

 

“[Host the set up alarm has been triggered, time to proceed with morning routine.]”

 

Noooooo, not the mourning routine!!!!!

 

Alexa struggled with great effort to free herself, she needed to run! To escape! Everything but….

 

“I can make you Mango Pancakes if you leave the-” “Can I have some eggs with bacon?”

 

“At once!” Alexa said standing up (Still in Alexa Taco Ver Mk 2), “Main Core! Do the thing!”

 

Alexa said as she sent the order to Main Core, it was time to test if P4 and [Core] had fulfilled their side of the deal.

 

“[Starting shift…]”

 

Main Core said and sure enough Alexa felt her body start changing, the blanket started to become more tight and compress her body, it was quite uncomfortable, so Alexa let her mind sink back into the recess of her mind.

 

“I am here…I guess.” Alexandra said as she took stock of her situation, first she checked her organs to make sure everything was in functioning order, “Lungs…heart…liver…kidney….stomach…brain…everything seems to be working.”

 

The last time she had to rush the repairs and brute force everything to continue working after all, the next step was the integrity of her arms and legs; as far as she could see, everything seemed…normal enough.

 

The next step was to make sure nothing was exposed, that her skin was working as needed and that every part of her body was covered, “So far so good…” Alexandra said and went to the next step of her testing.

 

“But first…to untangle myself of this…” Alexandra said as she started rolling on the bed, Alexa had done quite a great job of tangling herself into the blanket, so Alexandra struggled for a few minutes before managing to release herself from the embrace of the blanket. “There, now…the first step…”

 

This was quite important since the last time they had attempted to make a body manually without help, they had messed up the balance, and she had hit the floor quite…hard.

 

*Step*

 

“Good… glad we have a working relationship again, Main Core.” Alexandra said after taking the first step; it was at that moment that Alexandra took notice of her current gear; unlike Alexa, who had a pair of silk pants and a blouse, Alexandra had ended with a nightgown.

 

What had been the criteria? Alexandra didn’t know, but she knew that Alexa had picked the outfit since she had been the one to kickstart the change. Either way it didn’t matter, she had more important things to do, “Main Core, what is on today’s agenda?” Alexandra said as she went ahead and walked towards the kitchen.

 

“[Today’s agenda includes attending the feast for the fulfillment of the latest job. Host recieved a message including the address, time and expected attendance. It was stated that it should be either host on her Young Woman Stage or Teenager Stage.]”

 

“Hmm….We can have Ale attend it, she is the one that is interacting the most with the other Minions, unless you want me to go?” Alexandra said as she arrived at the kitchen, she started picking up the ingredients while she awaited the answer. It was weird speaking to her other self like this.

 

“Sure I can go, not like Alexa would want to stay sitting the whole thing.” “What? No! I want to play!”

 

“Noted. Do you have any requests besides mango pancakes and scrambled eggs?” Alexandra said as she started moving the ingredients to the kitchen counter near the stove.

 

“Mango Pancakes extra big!” “I want two stripes of bacon.”

 

“Easy enough,” Alexandra said, nodding her head as she started cooking, Alexa’s request was on the easier side since the pancake batter was already mixed, and she only needed to get it into the cooking pan.

 

Alexandra wanted to test another recipe, this time instead of going for the usual Mango Pancake, she would add the mango straight into the batter and mix it with the other ingredients. This time she would make the pancakes and in this way, the batter would soak into the flavour of mango.

 

Also it would make it easier on her, with some luck Alexa wouldn’t even notice, “Yes, I’m a genius if I say so.” Alexandra said in a low voice, wondering if there was a way to stop Alexa and Ale from listening to her.

 

She knew from experience that it was possible to ignore what was happening around Alexa when looking from the back, but she hadn’t ever found something Alexa didn’t share, and in turn, didn’t know if there was a way to achieve that.

 

Ale on the other hand was easier to deal with, the girl wanted a normal breakfast…Actually, how were they even going to eat? Alexandra didn’t know, but she prepared the food nonetheless, went one step ahead, and prepared herself a portion, too.

 

Unlike Ale, however, she made a pair of boiled eggs, put a toasted bread slice, and a cup of coffee for herself.

 

Setting up the dining table was easy enough; Alexandra placed Alexa’s pancakes in front of a raised chair, and then, next to them, she set up Ale’s breakfast. And at the head of the table, she sat herself and stared at her work.

 

“We need to check if it is possible to make extra bodies, at least it would make breakfast less weird,” Alexandra said as she ate her breakfast, she had opted for this light one since she wasn’t quite sure if their idea of having each of them a breakfast would bloat them or not.

 

A girl had to take care of her figure, right?

 

“I want to eaaaaaaaaaat!” “...will this even work?”

 

“We will see…Alexa, remember that Ale needs to go to the party, if you are good maybe she will even remember to get you some food okay?” Alexandra said in a slow and steady pace, trying to make her voice sound…motherly? Sisterly? Sweet?

 

She wasn’t sure what she was even doing at the moment trying to coax her child self, “...Ah screw it, Main Core. Pull that lever.” Alexandra ended up raising her hands in defeat and allowing Main Core to change her body once more.

 

The change was quick, and soon it was finished.

 

“ALEXA IS HERE TO NOM!” Alexa screamed as she jumped out of the naggy one’s chair and ran to her throne!

 

Why was it a throne?

 

Because it was bigger! Cooler! And cuter!

 

Who wanted normal chairs when you could have a chair with a ladder! It was better no matter how much you thought about it! Also, it allowed to look down on the peasants!

 

What was a peasant? Alexa didn’t know! But she could look down upon them!

 

But that wasn’t important, who cares about peasants? No! What was important was!

 

“That the Spork can show how mighty it is!” Alexa proudly said as she took her Spork and skewered her mango pancake!

 

She had gotten psychic backlash from the last time she had tried to use the Spork with the mango pie, but this time? This time, her Spork could shine as bright as the sun in a night!

 

Or as the sun in the middle of the day? No, wait, a sun on the night shone more brightly than a sun on the day, right? Cuz during the day there was too much light, and in the night there wasn’t any! So of course the sun shone brighter during the night!

 

Alexa was a genius.

 

“Pff…” “....*Sigh*”

 

And anyone that said otherwise was a denier! A hater! Alexa knew in her heart of hearts that she was right! And no one could ever take that out of her!

 

“And besides, who cares about any of that, the mango pancake is justice!” Alexa said nodding her head, Alexa really had outdone herself with this idea.

 

What? It was Alexandra’s idea?

 

Well, Alexa was also Alexandra, so it was her idea! No one could ever take that out of her!

 

So at the end of the day, it was her too! Anything that was done was Alexa’s job! Since she was the cutestest of them all!

 

“*Nod* …wish we had more mango pancakes…” Alexa said on a somewhat sad tone as she finished the last of her Magno Pancakes, she couldn’t eat more since the naggy one had only made a few.

 

Unlike last time when she made more, since she had planned to eat too, this time she had eaten some weird boiled egg thingy. The eggs were made for the mango pancakes!

 

Not for doing some weird dishes! Like hard eggs and scrambled eggs, who even eat eggs like that?!?!? Only weird people did! Like the naggy one! And like the mean one!

 

“....Next time I want twice the mango pancakes!” Alexa said raising her head and also raising her Spork to the heavens, for she had declared a divine mandate!

 

“...if you remember to wash your teeth without me or Main Core reminding you, sure.” “Ooooh, low blow.”

 

“...cheapstake.” Alexa said grumbling, Alexa wasn’t sure what to do since she couldn’t use the kitchen wares to make herself some mango pancakes, so after walking in circles around the table (As in spinning as she walked around the table) she decided that she would think about it while floating around, “Main Core! Summon the mean one!”

 

And in turn, pushed the metaphorical button on her mind to allow for the change to her body to begin.

 

Her body shifter and twisted as she grew a few extra centimeters and soon enough, it was Ale the one standing there.

 

The first thing the blonde girl did was look down to her clothes, Alexa was wearing a pair of pant and blouse silk clothes, Alexandra wore a nightgown…So what would Ale wear?

 

“...an oversized shirt? Really?” Ale said pulling up the shirt, she was also wearing a pair of shorts it seemed, “I feel cheated. Alexa gets to wear pajamas, Alexandra gets to wear nightwear…And I get…this?”

 

Ale said grumbling as she sat on her chair, in front of her was the scrambled eggs with two strips of bacon and a sausage, a cup of juice and…

 

“....should have asked for pancakes…but then Alexa would have eaten them all and I wouldn’t get to eat breakfast…” Ale said as she started eating her scrambled eggs.

 

“Would not!” “...You would totally do that, you just said that you would.”

 

“...No, wait, then I am the one that will need to clean this mess?” Ale suddenly said as she finished eating, on the table three sets of dirty dishes stood.

 

“....*Totally legit sound of someone running far away to overseas*.” “....I cooked breakfast.”

 

“*Groan* I’m not eating last next time,” Ale said while picking up the dirty dishes, her own set she could clean by using nanites and licking it clean at the same time, but Alexa and Alexandra’s set she would need to use water to scrub them clean.

 

She would NOT lick those clean, it felt…ewwy…. Like something that she didn’t want to do because it would be dirty, it was a weird feeling. These were her own dirty dishes in a way, her body had eaten from those, her mouth had licked those utensils. And yet…

 

“Alexa is not dirty! Her Spork is not dirty!” “Weren’t you in an overseas country?”

 

“Let’s speak about that later with [Skye] or [Billy], someone like us should be around,” Ale said as she started washing and scrubbing the plates.

 

Her own set included, if she was going to wash them, she may as well get them all clean. Besides, she could see how it fared against her own Nanite-enforced scrubbing.

 

“Sure, we can ask around. Our issue should not be unique, since they already had a way to describe us.” “The system thingy?”

 

“Yes, the way they refer to us as a System.” Ale nodded as she searched for the cloth used to dry the now washed plates, “Surely someone has dealt with this before, it would be easier to find the tricks and ways they did to solve the problems, and to get ahead of them.”

 

Ale didn’t mind their current set up, but that was because none of them had… much of a social impact or need to be around, they could change place as needed and really, it was better for them as a whole how they had set up things.

 

Alexa could explore around and be liked and pampered, she had access to the most amount of information of the three.

 

Ale could mingle around while being taken seriously when needed.

 

And Alexandra could deal with the type of things that required the image of being of age.

 

Each of them had a skillset suited for each situation, if they needed infiltration Alexa was the one to do it since no one would suspect her, if they needed to speak and gather information from [Humans], then Ale could do it well enough.

 

And if a combat or something of the type was around, Alexandra was probably the one they would use; each of them was capable of combat, of course.

 

And to be honest, Ale was the one better equipped since she had an actual BodyArmor custom made and their current weapons had been designed for her. They really needed to get into that.

 

“After the party, we should do that, yes.” “Alexa wants claws tooooo, and maybe a tail? She wants to purr like Ale did!”

 

“I did not purr!” Ale screamed, “I did..not…purr.”

 

Ale didn’t knew why she had that outburst, for some reason the image of herself purring made her face feel hot, even though it was a natural reaction of her body…the idea of being seen as a cat girl purring…was not something she was quite comfortable, even though that body had been incredibly comfortable to have.

 

[Human] bodies were weird.

 

“[Notice, host should leave within the next fifteen minutes to arrive on time.]”

 

“Oh, right, I need to get ready.” Ale said taking her mind out of that particular gutter of [Human] emotions, “I should probably take a quick shower…”

 

“To the field of battle! The return of Commodore Soap and Mister Squeaky-” “We only have enough time for a shower, so ignore the bathtub.”

 

“That was the plan, if we use the bathtub Alexa will want another chapter of her weird war.” Ale nodded as she walked to the bathroom. “We need to refill the shampoo and soap too.”

 

She removed the clothes she was wearing while making sure to return them to their original form, the oversize shirt returned to the silkblouse and her shorts returned to the silk pants that Alexa had been wearing before.

 

The underwear was still the weird fungi underwear that grew and shortened itself with their changes, so that was left to the side; they were self-cleaning, so Ale did not see any reason to not use them.

 

“Should I put on formal? They didn’t say, so my normal attire should suffice right?” Ale said as she opened the shower and walked into the warm embrace of water, she wasn’t sure why Alexa feared the shower that much.

 

“Aaaaaaaaaah, the evil thing! Ruuuuuun!” “Probably would be a good idea to get the bodysuit and wear your street attire atop it.”

 

“The bodysuit? Oh right, it IS a Super Villain meet…Hmm….So using the fungi underwear should be fine? [Billy] is the one that gave us that right?” Ale said as she used the last vestiges of shampoo and liquid soap, it was still weird to use these things when Alexa played with them last night.

 

They looked so…small now.

 

“I don’t remember him saying anything about it, so it should be okay.” “Nooooo, Commodore Soap! Lieutenant Poo!”

 

“We should ask him later,” Ale said as she closed the showerhead after washing away the excess shampoo and soap, she had scrubbed…probably not as hard and extensively as she should.

 

But her body was constantly being cleaned by her own nanites, so really. This was mostly so if someone with [Truth Core] besides [Eleanore] asked, then she could answer that yes, she had showered.

 

“So the [BodySuit] under, and atop a normal set of clothes…” Ale said as she walked to her room and left the pajamas on the bed.

 

The next five minutes were used testing and looking at her wardrobe (She needed more clothes) and in the end she opted for the same getup she had used before.

 

A pair of short pants a black string blouse and atop an oversized jacket. Under all of that her bodysuit on rest mode (The top shrank into a sports bra and the bottom into a second pair of sports trunks) making sure her hair was combed and she had a pair of cute brooches Ale was ready!

 

“Let’s go then,” said the blonde girl as she left the apartment and closed the door behind, “Time to [Eat].”

 

Hadn’t she eaten three portions of breakfast? Well, that was that, and this was this.
