Lucinda was a normal human girl, growing up in the early third millennium of a standard earth based existence. Since she was little Lucinda had a defect with her eyes that required her to were thick unwieldy glasses. Even then she had trouble seeing, she was very studious and bright but her vision issues hampered her progress as she didn’t want to switch to Braille or other alternatives to plain written text. With her glasses and unable to style herself she was bullied in school. She learned to hate the girls who were naturally pretty and had everything easy.

Fresh out of high school she got an apartment and worked part time as she went to college. Next door to her was a beautiful girl by the name of Alexis, Lucinda saw her as just another pretty face who would be as cruel as the others. Alexis would always greet her but Lucinda would ignore what was said.

One day Lucinda was going to her door when she heard pounding and saw a couple angry looking guys at Alexis’ door. As none of her business Lucinda entered her own apartment but as she was about to close her door Alexis came running from the corner and burst in with her without the men noticing. Alexis closed the door with a hysterical grin, whispering to Lucinda with a giggle about how mad they were. Before Lucinda could protest Alexis began looking around the apartment going through all her stuff and commenting on the decor. Alexis found a pair of Lucinda’s panties that were thrown to the floor and began to hold them out with her hands lightly stretching them. Lucinda was blushing heavily as she snatched her panties from Alexis demanding what she was doing in her apartment. Alexis said she would be hiding out until the guys left, also that she should just beat them up but probably had done enough to them already.

Having hid her underwear and any other private items that were in the open Lucinda asked why they were mad. Alexis proudly stated that she ran up twelve hundred dollars on their bar tab. Lucinda’s jaw was gaping as she stuttered over repeating twelve hundred, asking how she did that. Alexis recounted it with a matter of fact tone starting with how the two guys had been trying to flirt with her all night even though she wasn’t interested so she made a deal with them if they could out drink her she would have a threesome with them, they buy the drinks of course. Lucinda nodded before questioning the logic in her head, Alexis went on. The guys had been real champs, lasting through twenty six shots each before passing out. Alexis admitted to having the waitress get her a dozen patron shots on their tab as a reward.

Lucinda was skeptical of the story; she asked how Alexis could possible drink that much. Alexis played it off nonchalantly, saying that amount of alcohol was nothing and she would require a few times that much to get drunk. Posing sexily she humorously said that she didn’t even have to worry about it affecting her figure. Lucinda’s prejudice surfaced and she snapped sarcastically how lucky she was.

Alexis was taken aback by the quip, after a moment of looking over the glasses equipped girl Alexis made a compliment about her body figure. She observed how much cuter she would be if she only made a couple changes, starting with removing her glasses. Alexis had already snatched them from Lucinda’s face before she could stop her. Lucinda’s world went from hazy to a blurred smear, she begged for them back as she blindly grasped for them. Alexis said she didn’t need them and tossed them away, Lucinda could hear them hit the floor and to her horror the sound of multiple pieces slid and bounced further. Before she could scream in anger she saw blurred movement and the contact of something soft and slightly moist on her forehead. Suddenly her vision sharpened to perfection, colors and shapes came into view with such vivid detail she had never experienced before. It was like upgrading from a calculator screen to a high definition TV. She watched as Alexis’ chin, then lips and finally the rest of her face pulled back into view.

Lucinda was at a loss for words; she tried to choke out a simple “how” but could not manage it. Ignoring her shock Alexis kept going, commenting about her hair while removing the bands and simple knot she had it in. She felt it change but could not tell what was happening. Alexis was not yet satisfied and went to the bedroom to look through clothing before returning with a blue shirt and black and pink skirt. Holding the clothes out she told Lucinda to wear them, she looked at the clothes but made no movements. Alexis only waited a couple seconds before saying she might as well do the last part for her too and before Lucinda knew it Alexis had stripped off her clothes and placed her in the ones that were picked out. Babbling for Alexis to stop her mind raced until she looked at her reflection in the mirror Alexis held. Lucinda grabbed the mirror, muttering the word impossible as she seemed to look for some way for the mirror to be making some sort of trick image. Alexis grabbed her by the shoulders vigorously and asked what she thought. Lucinda’s eyes rolled back as she collapsed.

Lucinda began to stir; she was laying down but felt something warm against her. Opening her eyes she saw a mess of purple hair, still not used to her healed eyes she admired the individual strands before investigating the head they were on. Alexis’ face was planted firmly in her breasts; she was sound asleep but would not remain that way. Lucinda shrieked pushing Alexis right off the bed, Alexis tumbled head first to the floor, and sleepily she stood up slurring the word was with a z sound as she asked “what was that for.” Lucinda demanded to know why Alexis was in her bed, and why she was naked. The purple haired girl seemed to think that was obvious as she said she was bored after Lucinda fainted and carried her to bed and stripped her, and decided to take a nap.

With the mention of stripping Lucinda checked herself and found herself completely nude, she blushed asking why Alexis had stripped her. With the same tone Alexis replied by asking who would wear clothes to bed? Seeing Lucinda’s embarrassment Alexis tried to reassure her with the logic that they were both girls and had the same parts so it shouldn’t be a problem if they see each other, making sure to let Lucinda get a full view of her lady bits. Lucinda protested shielding her eyes from Alexis’ wide open view, though she eventually just gave up and after they dressed began to talk more. Lucinda viewing herself in the mirror once more still had trouble believing it. She asked Alexis how she fixed her eyes. Alexis confessed that she had magical abilities, Lucinda thought it jest at first but Alexis displayed several impossible feats as proof. Lucinda was amazed desperate to learn more about her new friend, which they became best of right away.

Since that day Alexis and Lucinda were inseparable, going shopping, to the clubs, even sharing a bed to sleep regularly in a house they rented together. Though Lucinda was slow to get used to some new experiences Alexis was there the whole time to guide her. Her visits to the clubs were comical for a while, still shy she would end up with guys flocking around her trying to pick up an easy target. After they would flirt with her for a while Alexis would come to the rescue, dangling her just out of their reach like a carrot on a stick.

For years they stuck together, Alexis never aged keeping her early twenties body as Lucinda caught up and eventually passed becoming twenty four years old. During one of their outings they were fooling around on the side walk. Lucinda tripped and stumbled into the street when a truck slammed into her knocking her to the ground before the tires rolled over her with a double thunk. Alexis rushed to her dying friend in horror. Moving her to her back Lucinda was gasping unable to breath as she was bleeding out onto the street. Alexis cried as she felt the life leaving her best friend, she held Lucinda’s face and just said “No!” over and over a few times adding a “you can’t go!” Some of the bystanders were gathering, a few calling 911. Alexis could see Lucinda’s pupils start to dilate, tightening her grip to the point it would have been painful she bawled once more, “Don’t go! You can’t, no…. I won’t let you go.” Alexis’ eyes widened to saucers as they glowed with energy, the gathered crowed gasped and shuffled away as her whole body glowed with a mysterious purple energy. Holding her hands so the palms were facing a mass of the energy formed between them. Once the size of a basketball she moved her hands and shoved the energy onto Lucinda’s chest, it blew away the clothes as it washed over the corpse. After is dispersed there was not apparent effect, Alexis repeated and again nothing happened. Gathering energy a third time she wailed in anger allowing it to grow immensely, holding it over her head it was more than ten feet in diameter. Purple lightning sparked from it violently before she finally slammed it down onto the body. Vaporizing any remaining scraps of clothing before the pavement underneath was blasted away, Lucinda’s figure disappearing into a blinding light.

The purple explosion subsided revealing a smoking crater, Alexis looked down and found Lucinda’s body at the bottom, not only unharmed form the blast but healed of injuries from the accident. Rushing down as she saw Lucinda’s chest rise. After a couple deep breaths Lucinda’s eyes shot open, she began to scream as violent sparks of pink energy burst from her body. Alexis wrapped her arms around her and held tightly to calm her, it worked as after a couple seconds the energy discharge settled. Lucinda said Alexis’ name with a look of confusion, still befuddled from her resurrection. By then the emergency services had arrived, not wanting to let the situation escalate Alexis scooped Lucinda into her arms and took flight.

Arriving at home Lucinda was finally able to ask what happened with a clear mind. Alexis looked her in the eye and said simply, “You died.” Asking what she meant Alexis told her how the truck hit her and that she had died. She asked Alexis how she was alive now, her head drooping slightly as she responded, “I-I… I couldn’t let go.” Lucinda asked if she was revived, but Alexis said no, or more precisely she tried to just revive her but ended up changing her instead. “Into what?” Lucinda inquired. Alexis answered softly, “Someone like me.”

Indeed Lucinda had become a GDI user, though not as powerful as Alexis immortality and near invulnerability was gained. While she was not unhappy she did not know the curse that normally plagued those who bore the ability of GDI. Though together the girls gave themselves companionship for ages to come, the power they shared brought them closer. Their relationship evolved, and while both considered themselves straight their bond transcended gender and they would share themselves, though not always sexual in manner it was always passionate.

Able to avoid the conflicts of the primary GDI users in other existences their millions of years together were happy and relatively peaceful.
