"Hi Isaac," Friday said cheerfully as he answered the door.
"Friday?" Isaac asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"You know how you once suggested I turn Zac into a girl and impregnate him?"
"Uhh... yeah..." Isaac nodded. "And we did start making plans and stuff... but y'know, hopefully we're going to be touring again soon, and we need Zac to be a male -"
"Bah! That's what you were saying months ago," Friday dismissed. "Besides, I have a solution to your time problem."
"He's not really all that bad now -"
"Does he not have a pregnant woman in the house? C'mon, Ike! You're not bailing out on me are you?"
Isaac didn't answer for a moment.
"I can turn you into a girl too."
Isaac looked alarmed.
"Hey, c'mon Friday. Just because - "
Friday laughed.
"You should have seen the look on your face," she chuckled. "Relax already. Oh and hey are you going to y'know, let me in?"
Reluctantly, Isaac did. He just wasn't sure if he wanted to go ahead with this any more.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
"I'm not going to force myself on him, if that's what you're asking," Friday replied. "I'll just work out in your gym for a bit. He can watch a slayer get all sweaty -"
"I see. You're going to test his resolve?"
"He hasn't resolved a thing. He just hasn't been getting any because he's too busy raising kids."
"To which number you plan to add."
Friday gave Isaac a look.
"If I recall correctly, that's what this is all about. Relax already. After I've seduced him, I switch our sexes. Then my new good friend Dawn, will open a pretty little portal to another universe, in which we will stay for a year, but it'll only be three days here, so he'll be back in plenty of time for Christmas."
"And what a Christmas present that'll be," Zac said dryly.
Friday and Isaac looked over.
"Oh, you were here all along," Friday said, a little disapointed.
"And I heard every word."
"Well, what do you think of my plan? Think it'll work?"
"There no guarentee you would ever get me pregnant on the first try."
"Oh yeah?" Friday challenged. "When I change you into a girl I can just as easily make sure you're in a fertile period. You don't want to know how I know I can do this."
"Uh huh. And you decided to disguise your rape as seduction."
"Dude, if you consent, it isn't rape."
"You know I'm not consenting now and you're still planning on doing it."
"Hey, I'm being considerate enough to want to get you worked up first."
"How does that make you any better than some man who spikes a woman's drink?"
Friday chewed her lip. She didn't have an answer to that. And she had to admit, this particular part of the plan she hadn't really been looking forward to. It went against her moral grain. But what other way was there to get Zac pregnant?
"I ahh, I might see what Saku is doing," Isaac said, stepping out of the room.
"C'mon Friday," Zac said, noticing her hesitation. "Seriously, what is there to accomplish from this? Revenge? And what are you going to do with the baby afterwards?"
"Raise her, you totompole head," Friday muttered.
"And if it's a boy? Would you raise him too?"
"Yes. I'd be disapointed he wasn't a girl, but I'd still raise him. And I wouldn't change him into a girl either."
"So. You'd definitely take the baby to the school with you? You'll be another teenage mother, even though I would have had the child. And how are you going to fit a child in with your studies?"
"I'll figure something out."
"Plus, children cost money."
"So now you're trying to talk me out of it with numbers."
"Hey, you haven't thought past the pregnancy. This is what I'm trying to point out to you. You're going 'oh yes, lets get Zac pregnant so that he knows what it feels like'. The pregnancy is only the beginning. At least I can recgonise that."
Silence.
"Zac darling?" called Kylie, waddling into the room, "Who's... that..."
The look she gave Friday was pure disdain.
"Kylie, this is my friend Friday. Day, this is Kylie."
Friday looked Kylie up and down.
"How ya doin'?" she asked.
"What are you doing here?" Kylie demanded.
Friday, taking an instant dislike to Kylie, answered her shortly:
"I've come to turn Zac into a girl and then impregnate her with my child."
Kylie's eyes narrowed, and lifted a hand to slap Friday. Friday caught it easily.
"Girl, pregnant or not, I could kick your butt with my little finger," she turned to Zac. "Are you sure this kid is yours?"
"Bitch," Kylie scrowled. "Let go of my hand."
"Did you just call me a bitch," Friday's eyes narrowed.
"I did. What of it?" Kylie challanged.
"Ladies, ladies... okay, women," Zac interjected. "Kylie, Day was telling you the truth."
"What?" Kylie exploded. "How? What? She -"
"You see, I had an... agreement with someone a few years ago. When certain conditions were met this would happen. Now, don't you worry... I'm just going to go to a parallel world for a few days - but it'll be a year there, and when I come back, I'll be a man again, and the baby will be born."
"But how can you - "
"Kylie," Zac frowned. "You wouldn't ask me to go back on my word, would you?"
"But... but I..."
"I'm sorry it couldn't be you," Friday said with false sincerity, "but if I were to make you male, you'd lose the baby, and you wouldn't want that, now would you? And the matter has been delayed long enough. Come Zac."
"Yes," Zac nodded, taking Friday's arm. "This way."
The two left a flabbergasted Kylie behind, as they stepped into Zac's bedroom, where Friday gave him an inquiringly look.
"Why the change of heart? Partly Kylie - you're not the only one who has vintictive reasons."
"Okay, partly brat features down there. Partly what else?"
Zac was quiet for a moment.
"Nothing I..." he chewed his lip. "A few things, but nothing I want to discuss with you."
"Hmm. So what was that display downstairs? You trying to talk me out of it."
"Ha! I was trying to tell you that you hadn't thought things through, and there are no... no real reasons for you to do this. I have thought this through, and only one of my reasons is vindictive," he paused for a moment. "And I'll look after the baby - probably be safer with me than with you, and you have school work to focus on. I at least have a nanny to help me out. One more isn't going to hurt."
Friday nodded slowly.
"Better man than me."
"That's because you're a woman."
"Not for long."
