Cellular Civilization/Andresklo

Andresklo climbed the main staircase three steps at a time like an Olympic athlete limbering up before an event. He turned left and strode down the length of the second floor hallway then knocked on the last door on the right. Without waiting for a reply, he opened the door, entered, and closed the door behind him. He was carrying a small stack of neatly folded clothes. "Okay, these should fit you."

A woman who could have been the twin of Dexamene got up off the bed. She was only wearing a pair of thong panties but she displayed no shame or self-consciousness in front of Andresklo. She took a tee shirt from Andresklo and pulled it on over her head and down to cover most of her torso. Her narrow belly remained visible below the tee shirt. She turned and looked at herself in a mirror and commanded her nanite implants to make a few minor adjustments to exactly match the tight fit of the shirt. She turned back to Andresklo and took the pants....the exact same brand and style that Dexamene had worn when she first met Charlie.

The original pair of jeans that Dexamene had worn was in a small heap of discarded clothes on the floor next to the bed. Andresklo went over, picked them up and threw them into the fireplace. He turned on the gas and within seconds Dexamene's clothing was burning. He turned back and watched Dexamene's "twin" strugle to pull on the one-size-smaller pair of pants. Andresklo said, "From now on you are Lanora."

"Lanora" got the pants up around her hips and continued to struggle with the jipper. Andresklo grabbed the fabric of the jeans on either side of the zipper and pulled towards Lanora's midline. She complained, "I could barely get into the one's that you just burned."

Andresklo explained, "Those did not look 'painted on' you. Exhale." Lanora exhaled and contracted her abdominal muscles. Finally the jipper went up and Andresklo did the button at the top of the zipper. He walked around and looked at Lanora's bottom. "Looks good. You have not been on Earth as long as Dexamene so your hips have not spread out as much and your gluts are not as hypertrophied."
