Hi! Quick disclaimer!! I don't own any of these characters, (Except the ones you've never heard of!) And I'm tragically not making money off my slight ability to write. Just having a good time! Happy reading!

Chapter Text

Name: Andrea Joy Sachs
Age:17
Sex:Female
Description: Caucasian, 5’3, Brunette, Brown Eyes
Orientation: Bisexual
Status: Submissive
{See Dr. Lucas for more details and matches}

Cathrine and Richard Sachs looked down at the small typed receipt that printed from the scanner machine that their youngest daughter was currently sitting in. It was a right of passage at age 16 or 17, depending on the parent’s preference, that all children were assigned their sexual status and orientation.

This status was collected by a series of questionnaires the children started doing at age six in Kindergarten, and continued until the day they were brought to various government buildings to be scanned and placed.The other factors that were part of the consideration came from the physical scan to both the body and the brain, specifically, the machine did while showing a series of images and asking non-leading questions.

In the last 100 years of scanners being used, divorce rates had dropped to almost nonexistent, and cultural happiness had risen over 4000%. Cathrine thought back to her scan day, where she had ended up meeting her husband as they both walked out of their individual scan machines.


 

Name: Cathrine Marie Jackson
Age:16
Sex: Female
Description: Caucasian, 5’5, Brunette, Green Eyes
Orientation: Straight
Status: Switch
{See Dr. Marx for more details and matches}

Cathrine stepped from the scanner, her parents, Kevin and Lucy Jackson smiled brightly at their only child, “Oh Cath!” Lucy exclaimed and pulled her curly haired beauty into her arms for a large hug. Cathrine grinned in return, glad her parents were happy with her results.

“Mom! What does it say?” She pulled the long receipt from her mother’s hands and read her orientation and status. “Oh! Yay! I was so worried about possibly being stuck with either Dom or Sub I’m so glad I’m a switch!” Sex, and sexual orientation were not taboo subjects in their world. Most parents started talking to their children vaugely about sex in their youngest years.

 

Name: Richard Louis Sachs III
Age:17
Sex:Male
Description: 6’0, Blonde, Brown Eyes
Orientation:Bisexual
Status:Switch
{See Dr. Marx for more details and matches}

Richard “Rich” Sachs sat in his scanner, knowing full well the process was over. He was nervous, the young man had known since he was around five, that he was definitely not a full dom, which his father and grandfather both were. Knowing he could disappoint his only living parent made him feel nauseous.

“Rich!” Richard II knocked on the side of the scanner, “Hey, other people are waiting for the machine.”

Rich stood, pushing open the metal door and smiling sheepishly down at his slightly shorter father. “Uh so what did I get?” Rich rubbed the back of his neck in a nervous gesture before sighing slightly.

“Look for yourself” Richard grinned at his son, knowing full well how nervous he was about not being a dom. Rich looked down at the paper and swallowed anxiously, he was a switch AND bisexual.

Just as he was going to talk with his father a short blonde woman bumped into him. “Oh!” She blushed, looking up at him through lowered lashes. “Sorry! I’m pretty clumsy” A tinkling giggle left her lips and Rich was instantly smitten. “Uh, Rich… My name is Richard Sachs, but I go by Rich.” He responded to her blush with a gentle one of his own, reaching out and shaking her hand.

Behind them, Richard II looked to the two other adults and smirked. “I’m Richard Sachs, seems like we should probably get acquainted.” The other two laughed good naturedly and followed him over to a small cafe across the hall and took up a table, watching as their only children fell in love before their very eyes.


 

Andrea paced back and forth in front of Dr. Lucas’s office, nervous didn’t even begin to cover it, never in her 17 years had she gone to a doctor’s appointment alone.

“Andrea?” A short older woman peaked her head out of the oak door in front of her. She had long greying brown hair, blue eyes and a kind smile, and was wearing a beautifully tailored navy blue pantsuit with a crisp white button down underneath. “Welcome, come on in!” She gestured for the anxious looking younger woman to follow her into the homey looking office.

“Hi! Yeah, I’m Andy… Uh I’m here for my matches… I guess?” She smiled anxiously, pulling at her middle and index fingers in her lap.

“Of course! Now in your file it says you are bisexual, are you open to both sexes? Even when someone is labeled this way they have a preference one way or the other.” Her eyes trekked up and down the shy, young beauty. The girl was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a basic white v-neck and a pair of lavender Chucks on her feet. She had some of the longest looking chestnut hair which was pulled into a high, sleek ponytail. Nadia Lucas smiled to herself, depending on the girl’s answer to her question, she already had the perfect match in mind.

“Oh no! Not really, as you know, no one really dates before being given a status, so I’ve never thought much of it… But I guess either would be just fine for me, Women are beautiful and usually so soft, and men, well I’m sure they have their merits too.” Andy groaned internally, apparently she did have a preference, and she never even knew it.

“Not a problem, I’m going to give you a few files, just names and descriptions, and if anyone seems interesting to you, I can show you photos.” The kind doctor slid a few manila envelopes across the table, “Take your time.”

Andy picked up the first one and started to look at the slightly more detailed list of characteristics than the receipts from the scanner machines.

She sounded nice enough, but nothing about this file made her heart beat faster or think of a future with this woman, so she sat it down in her now appointed ‘Maybe’ pile and reached for the next one.

Andrea shuddered at the idea of someone mumbling to themselves while she was trying to have a conversation, though his knowledge of literature would be a bonding point for them… She shook her head, deciding that wasn’t enough, and Evan got put in her ‘No’ pile.

 

Twenty-five minutes later and Andy had gone through just as many files, her Maybe pile was up to seven while her ‘no’ pile housed many more manila envelopes.

“I have one more for you, Andy, and I think this one might be the real winner for you.” Dr. Lucas gave her a knowing smile and slid the file across to her.

Andrea bit her bottom lip, should this woman sound horrid to her? Most likely, but something about this file screamed out to her. “Uh, Dr. Lucas, may I see a photo of her?” She felt her cheeks heating up once again as Nadia smirked, and turned around to grab her file of Miranda Priestly’s photos. “Of course you can.”

Opening the envelope, the young woman felt as if a sucker punch had been delivered to her gut. “Oh” Her breath left her in an almost silent rush as her finger trailed down the imperfect curve of the older woman’s nose. She was fierce looking, with a penetrating stare, pursed lips, and a forelock of sparkling white hair falling across one of her perfectly arched brows.

Nadia just sat, smiling to herself at the look of awe on the girl’s face, her fingers still tracing the first of over a dozen photos. “Uh, Dr. Lucas? What happens when I choose someone?”

 

The doctor sat up straighter, “I will send them your file and photo, and if they agree, they’ll set up a meeting in a weeks time, have you found someone?”

Andy’s eyes never left the page as she nodded, “Mhmm, Miranda.”
