“Oh No! Come on you dumb car” I said to the TV. “I know what I need!” I jumped up off the floor and ran to TV. I searched around a pulled out the boost disc for a jetpack and put it on the pad beneath my Rapunzel figurine.

I ran back smiling and giggling and picked up the Wii U controller and with my thumbs flying, I got my character over the valley to the next level of my adventure.

As I played on, I heard my Mommy and Daddy stomping around upstairs in their bedroom. “Sydney! Come here for a minute” I heard my Mommy call out to me.

I hit pause and jumped up, running upstairs to their bedroom.

“Hey honey” my Mommy said putting a fancy earring in.

“You look pretty” I told my Mommy.

“Why Thank you honey”

“What and I don’t?” My Daddy said. He was tying his tie in front of the mirror.

I giggled and said “Sorry Daddy…do you want me to call you pretty too?”

“Yes Syd…I want you to call me pretty” he joked with me.

“We’re going to your cousin Amber’s wedding today so Eliza will be over to watch you soon”

“Ok I like her” I said looking up at my Mommy. Her long brown hair was done up in long curls and it came down over her shoulders. I knew I wanted my hair to be that long when I grew up. I hated my hair. Mommy complained about me always getting it tangled up and knotted so she had the lady cut it short the last time we went for a haircut. My hair was brown like my Mommy’s, but mine only came down to my chin.

“Well I would hope so…she’s watched you a couple times before and she’s always said you were good for her” Mommy said walking to her closet.

I followed her; I love her closet and all the clothes she has, especially her shoes. “Oh I know what shoes you should wear!” I yelled out and dropped to my knees. I crawled past my Mommy’s legs on my hands and knees to her shoe rack. I knew exactly which ones I would wear if I had on a black dress like my Mommy had on.

I came out with her pair of black heels with small bows on the ends “Wear these ones tonight Mommy!” I said.

“You know…it was either going to be those ones or the sling back black ones” she said smiling down at me “But you convinced me…” she said swaying her head and hips back and forth. She stepped into her heels and fussed with her hair again.

“Do you want Pizza tonight?” my Daddy asked.

“Sure; as long as its cheese pizza from Pizza Hut” I said declaring the only pizza I really liked.

“Well you’ll have to tell Eliza that later but I’ll leave her some cash then for the delivery guy” he added.

Daddy headed downstairs and Mommy went back into her bathroom so I followed him down talking the whole way about my Disney Infinity game; it’s my favorite game to play.

“I’m sure you can talk Eliza into playing it with you tonight” he told me.

“She likes to play board games too, last time she was here we played Connect 4” I told him following him from room to room. “I bet she’ll play Monster High with me too; last time she was Cleo De Nile…I bet she’ll want to play as her again too”

“I’m sure she will” Daddy said.

I heard footsteps on the stairs and I watched my Mommy come down; she was taking her time and walking slow like she always did when she wore fancy shoes.

I heard a car pull up out front so I ran to the front window jumping up on the couch so I could see out “Eliza’s here!” I announced loudly as I watched my babysitter get out of her car.

“Well I’m sure she heard you all the way out there” I heard my Daddy yell as I jumped off the couch and ran to the front door and swung it open.

“Hi Eliza!” I yelled out to her as she walked up the walkway to our door.

“Hey munchkin!” she called out as I saw her smile and wave at me.

“Dad says we get to get pizza tonight” I told her as she got closer.

“Awesome” she said stepping up onto our front porch. She tugged at the leg of her short denim shorts that had ridden up as she walked. She wore thin flip flops and a white tank top and her blonde hair was pulled back into a high set ponytail. ”Hi Mr. Dennison” she said to my Daddy.

“Hey Eliza, thanks for coming over and watching her today”

“It’s no problem; I wasn’t working today anyway” Eliza said coming inside the house and quickly kicking off her flimsy flip flops.

“You’re working over at Carlisle Pool this summer aren’t you?” he asked.

“Yeah…life guarding” Eliza said.

I looked up at her and saw dark tan lines across her upper back that really showed off the white where her uniform sat all day in the sun.

“How’s school going?” he asked.

“Good; I’ll be a senior at Hayes when I go back in the fall” Eliza said.

“So hopefully this will be your last summer babysitting and lifeguarding?” he said.

“Yeah…I hope I can get a job soon after I get out but I’ll also have to take my clinicals” Eliza said coming further into the house.

“There’s always nursing jobs out there” My Mommy said as she joined the conversation.

Eliza smiled.

“Here’s thirty dollars for pizza...you want to tell her the rules honey?” my Daddy said as he handed money to Eliza.

“It has to be cheese pizza from Pizza Hut” I said.

“Okay…got it” Eliza said looking over at me. I was standing on the couch so I could be at the same level as everybody else in the room.

“The wedding is at 4 and the reception starts at 6…we might not get home until 11 or 12” My Mommy told Eliza.

“That’s fine…we’ll have fun, eat some pizza…play games and I’ll get her to be by…?”

“Nine o clock” My Mommy said.

“Got it…bath beforehand?” Eliza asked.

“Yes, definitely” My Daddy said laughing.

“No problem: Don’t worry about a thing…we’ll be just fine” Eliza told them.

I jumped off the couch and ran over to them. I wrapped my arms around my Mommy’s waist and hugged her. She hugged me back and then crouched down and did it again. She kissed me on the cheek and I kissed her on hers.

As she stood up, Daddy came and crouched down and I hugged and kissed him too. “Night Mommy…Night Daddy” I said.

“You be good for Eliza okay” Daddy said.

“I will” I replied.

“Love you Honey…see you tomorrow morning” Mommy said.

“Love you too” I said and then they went outside and got into their car. I hopped up on the couch again and watched them pull out. They waved and I waved back.

“So” Eliza said clapping her hands together “What are we going to do tonight?”

“Do you want to play Infinity with me?!” I asked jumping off the couch.

“Sure” she responded.

“Who do you want to be?”

“What are my choices?” Eliza asked getting down onto the floor with me. We went through all the characters I had and we decided to play Inside Out: I was Joy and she was Disgust.

We played for about 45 minutes; both of us sitting cross legged on the floor before Eliza told me “I’ve got to take a break kiddo, my back is starting to hurt sitting like that”

She stood up and stretched. She rose up on her tip toes and put her hands against her back and pulled her shoulders back.

Eliza yawned and shook her head “Are you getting hungry?” she asked me.

“Yeah I am” I said admitting that my stomach did feel empty.

“I’ll call in pizza for us, how does that sound?” Eliza said taking her cell phone out of her purse.

Once she had ordered a cheese pizza and a pepperoni one she sat on the couch “So what grade are you going into next month?”

“First” I told her “I’ll turn 7 in October”

“Wow” she responded with a smile “I haven’t gotten to watch you in a few months”

“Yeah, Mommy and Daddy don’t go out that much and when they do, they usually just get my Grandma to watch me” I told her.

“But since your Grandma is at the wedding too” Eliza said.

“You get to watch me tonight!” I said jumping up and down. I ran over to the closet and got out Connect 4 “Do you want to play this now?” I asked her.

“Sure…but let’s set it up at the table so I can sit in a chair for a while” Eliza said.

We played a few games but she only beat me once. “Ha ha” I said after beating her for the third time in row “Beat you again!”

“You are really good at this game Sydney” she told me “Why don’t you go watch some TV while I get the plates out and get stuff ready…the pizza guy should be here in a few minutes”

“Okay!” I said jumping off the chair and running into the living room while she cleaned up the game.

“Got to clear off the table for us” she said bringing the game back and putting it away in the closet, shaking it the entire time.

“Don’t put it all the way on the top shelf! I can’t reach it up there!” I yelled when I saw her put the game over her head.

“Sorry…where does it go?” she asked looking down.

“On the second shelf” I told her.

“Oh I see” Eliza said stepping back into the room “Perfect” she said.

I could hear her getting stuff out of the cupboards and a few plates clacked against each other before I heard a car pull into the driveway. I jumped up and peered out the window “Pizza’s here!” I yelled “But it’s a pizza girl!”

Eliza was chuckling as she went to the door and opened it “Thanks” she said taking the boxes and paying.

I ran in front of her down the hall to the kitchen and I jumped up into my seat at the table while Eliza got a piece of pizza for me and a napkin and then she poured me a glass of milk to drink.

I kicked and swung my feet back and forth as I waited but I made sure I told her Thank you because I know manners are important.

 Eliza smiled and sat down across from me with her pizza and a Dr. Pepper to drink “Man you’re lucky, I don’t get soda to drink at dinner”

“Soda isn’t good for growing girls like you and I don’t drink that much of it either” Eliza told me as he dug in.

“Still you’re lucky just cause you’re an adult” I said.

Eliza smiled as she chewed “Don’t be so sure of that” she said waving a finger at me “Kids have it pretty good; the problem is that you don’t realize it at the time and all you can think about is being an adult until you are an adult and then you want to be a kid again”

“That’s not true” I said. “No adult would ever want to be a kid again I mean why would they?”

“Well being an adult can be tough sometimes, there’s a lot to do and a lot to know. You get to play all day while your Mom and Dad go to work”

“Well, I guess…but I’d still like to be the one who gets to boss other people around and set the rules about my bedtime and I could decide if I wanted to take a bath or not” I said.

“But you’d also have to get a job or go to college or even both and then you’d have to pay bills and worry about boys” she teased.

I ate a few more bites until I got back to the crust “Do you want another piece?” Eliza asked me.

I nodded “I’m hungry tonight…what can I say?”

I watched Eliza get up and walk over to counter to get me another piece and I thought “I wish I could be big and pretty like Eliza”

She turned and came back with my slice of food and put it on my plate for me. When she smiled at me I thought “But wouldn’t it be great if Eliza could be a little girl again like me”

I said “Thanks you” again and watched her sit back down. “I kept on daydreaming as I ate my second piece of pizza “If I was big and she was little then I would be babysitting her tonight. I wonder what she looked like when she was 6?”

I closed my eyes and thought “I bet she still had blonde hair” and I saw a little girl sitting across from me who was little just like me, well maybe even a little bit shorter than me. She had long straight almost white blonde hair and freckles.

“What are you thinking about over there?” Eliza asked.

I was laughing to myself “Nothing!” I told her.

“Oh come on…you’re over there just grinning and giggling” Eliza prodded.

“No! I don’t want to…ok I was thinking about if you were 6 and I was 22 and what you’d look like and what I’d do if I was babysitting you tonight”

“Oh really” Eliza said smiling at me. “So do you think you’d be a better babysitter than me?”

“Uh-huh” I said.

“What am I doing wrong?” Eliza asked in a sad sounding voice.

“Nothing, I’d just rather be the babysitter” I said.

“Oh I get it” Eliza said “But I don’t know if you could handle me. I was pretty wild when I was six”

“You were?” I said surprised.

“Yeah, I was a lot worse than you are…I’d run all over the place and fight every one of my babysitter about going to bed” Eliza told me. “And I hated, HATED, having anyone touch my hair when I was little”

I laughed “I would be nice and gentle when I did your hair”

“Nu-Uh…Ah!” Eliza stomped her feet up and down and grabbing her hair “Nobody gets to touch my hair!” she laughed playing up.

I started to laugh really hard at how silly she was being “No temper tantrums young lady or I will send you right to bed” I laughed at her.

She stuck her tongue out and put her thumbs up to her ears and waved her hands at me.

I was still laughing when she got up to get herself some more food and it was like I could see her being little over there. I saw her so short that her chin barely came up to the counter and she would have to put her hand up and blindly reach for the pizza and when she couldn’t reach a piece she would have to call out to me to help her and I saw myself, ME, all big and tall and grown up and all going over there and looking down into the box and grabbing apiece like it was no big deal at all and seeing her looking up at me smiling at me missing teeth and telling me Thank you.

“You need to wake up from your daydream before your food gets cold” Eliza told me as she sat back down across from me.

I smiled and nodded and went back to eating but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. “Oh I wish it were really true!” I thought as hard as I could “I wish Eliza and me could switch places!”

I was picking at the second half of my second piece of pizza “Are you finished?” Eliza asked me.

“Yes…I’m full” I said.

“You did good; I’ll clean up” Eliza said standing up as she had finished her third piece.

“Whoa you ate a lot” I said getting up.

“I’m really full though” She said puffing out her cheeks.

I felt warm when I stood up but I wasn’t in any kind of hurry to leave so I just stood by the counter and watched Eliza as she took our plates and put them in the dishwasher.

I climbed up on one of the stools by our counter and sat on it on my knees. Eliza put the pizza boxes into our refrigerator and turned around to me. She blinked and looked at me funny.

I put my arms on the counter and leaned forward looking at my babysitter. Her eyebrows kept going down and she started to frown and she looked all confused “Um…do you feel okay Sydney?” she asked, her voice even sounded weird, like she was scared of something.

“Yeah I feel great…why?” I said.

“You don’t look…uh…you look…different” Eliza said as she took a step back.

I looked around and down at the counter “I feel warm” I said and I hopped down from the top of the stool. My feet hit the ground sooner than I was used to and I made a louder noise than I usually did too.

“Is it hot in here?” I asked. My ears felt hot.

“Um…yeah…I feel it too” Eliza said. She fanned her face a few times and I could see her cheeks getting red. She walked over to the thermostat and stared at it “It says it’s 72 in here and that the air conditioning is running but I…” she turned back to face me and all I saw was a look of surprise on her face.

“Whoa! Sydney! Are you okay!” she yelled at me. Her hands were going up and down.

“What are talking about Eliza, I’m…” I stopped and I shuffled my feet and set them hard on the ground “I feel dizzy”

“What’s going on?” she asked.

I closed my eyes and everything spun around like I had spun myself around a bunch of times. “Sydney honey…” she said and I felt her hand touch my shoulder.

I stood as still as I had ever been, I was afraid to even breathe when I felt myself begin to move up and out.

My eyes popped wide open “Eliza?” I said “What’s happening to me?!”

Eliza looked confused and scared. Her bottom lip was quivering and she looked like she was about to cry or run away but she just stood there in front of me with a shocked look on her face “I…I don’t know but it looks like you’re…” she shook her head.

I could feel my feet moving on the floor so I looked down at them. My toes looked different, they looked bigger and so did my feet. It took me a second to realize that they also looked farther away than usual.

I looked ahead and Eliza looked shorter. She was standing still but I was moving. If I looked straight ahead, I was looking at her chin now instead of her boobs and it didn’t make any sense to me.

That was when I felt my clothes start to pinch me and get tight. “Ow!” I said…my clothes are tight!”

“Sydney…I don’t believe what I’m seeing” Eliza said “But it looks like you’re getting bigger!”

“Bigger?! How can I just get bigger?!” I said stomping my foot. It hurt and I looked down again. I tried to put a finger under the leg of my shorts but I couldn’t, my leg was too tight inside my shorts.

I lifted my arms up as my sleeves were pinching me “My arms feel all heavy” I said as I watched my sleeves rise up to my shoulders and my whole arms were bare.

Eliza put her hand out towards me and I tilted my head when I saw the strap of her tank top slid off her shoulder and droop down against her upper arm as she was saying “Don’t worry honey, everything’s going to be…Woops!”

She looked even more confused as she grabbed her shirt and pulled it up. She was confused by why it was so loose on her when it had been fitting her just fine. “Why’s my shirt falling off of me?” she said speaking quickly. She looked down to the ground and then back up.

“Eliza…I don’t feel right” I said. I was afraid and scared and even my voice sounded weird.

“Oh Shit” she said when she looked back up.

“Eliza?” I said confused. Eliza was right in front of me, usually I only saw someone like this when I was standing on the couch so I looked down and the floor seemed a really far way away.

“My chest feels funny” I said and began to rub there. When I did I felt something soft getting bigger and that’s when I screamed.

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!” I screamed my head off and as I did I felt my shirt rip open and give way. It felt good to be free and able to breathe but everything felt wrong. I crouched down and my shorts split open right down my butt.

When I stopped screaming all I could hear was Eliza repeating the same thing “Oh Shit”

I looked down at my chest confused “What are…?” I bounced up and down and felt weight go up and down on my chest “Why do I have boobies like Mommy? They’re squishy” I said as I poked at them.

I looked over at Eliza who really looked scared now as she stared at me. Her face seemed to freeze and it looked like she was shaking and that’s when she started to shrink.

Her mouth opened up and her eyes went wide but she kept looking into my eyes even as she got shorter than me. She never looked away even as both straps of her shirt fell off her shoulders. I looked down and saw that her shirt was really really big on her and she was still getting smaller inside of it. I saw her bra and I saw her boobies getting smaller and her chest getting really skinny.

Eliza finally moved and when she did she grabbed the front of her shirt and her bra and she grabbed onto them really tight. I could tell it was tight because her fingers were white as she pulled her shirt and bra up and held them really close to her body.

Eliza screamed then and it was really loud and really high; it hurt my ears it was so screechy. I plugged my ears and put my knees together but when I did, my shorts and panties ripped even more. I looked down and saw that legs looked really fat now. I pushed my finger into the top of my leg and it was all soft.

Eliza was still screaming and shaking her head and then she hiccupped and screamed all over again because I saw her shorts fall off and drop all the way down to the ground and they covered up her feet.

“How is she doing that?” I thought. Her shirt was now covering up most of her legs and she was so small.

“How did you get smaller than me?” I asked. I was so confused and scared and my voice didn’t sound like me at all.

Eliza looked up at me and I started to scream again because I saw her face move. “AAAAAHHHHH!!!!” I yelled but it didn’t sound like me because it was so deep but I couldn’t look away as I watched Eliza’s face change and by the time she was done, she looked like a little girl. Her eyes got smaller and so did her nose and then her whole face just got round and she looked more like someone my age instead of someone who should be babysitting me.

And it was when I thought that, that everything made sense to me. I looked down at myself but I didn’t look like myself anymore. I looked like an adult. And then I looked at Eliza and she didn’t look like Eliza anymore, she looked like what I thought she would look like if she was 6 when I was dreaming about it a few minutes ago.

“My wish” I said. “My wish…” I looked around the room and I saw that everything looked smaller to me “It came true!”

I put my hands up to my head because everything started to hurt and I heard I really high pitched noise inside my head like when Mommy makes tea and the kettle goes off really loud.

And then everything went silent.

Eliza was crying in front of me but I noticed that her hands were pressing against her temples. “It happened…I’m 22 years old” I said out loud looking around at my surroundings “Mom and Dad are going to flip out!” I said with a slight laugh.

I saw that Eliza’s eyes were open and staring up at me. She was trembling and shaking “Sydney? “Why…?” she said in a high pitched little kid’s voice.

I got down on my knees and hugged her pulling her into me. “Oh It’s okay Eliza; don’t be scared…I’ll take good care of you. I’m your babysitter now!”

“No!” she yelled “I’m not some little 6 year old little girl, I’m…big. Or I was big…I’m supposed to be big! I’m in college!”

“Shhh…not right now honey” I said stroking her shoulders “I’m the big one now”

“But you can’t be bigger than me it’s not fair!” she whined tears still coming from her eyes.

I reached up to take her white blonde hair out of her ponytail and she yelled “Don’t touch my hair!”

I fell backwards and was surprised by how it felt falling back onto a full round butt. I laughed and she yelled and stomped her foot “It’s not funny Sydney! Take it back! Take back your wish! This is your fault that I’m little!”

“I just wanted to be the big one…I wanted to see what it was like and you know what; you look just like I thought you would at that age” I said.

“Stop it, it’s not funny now change us back!” Eliza looked around desperately “How did this even happen? Wishes don’t just come true like this?”

“It did this time so it must have been extra special…or it was just meant to be” I said standing up. Once at my full height I looked down “Wow. I’m so tall…this is awesome”

“No it’s not awesome! Change. Me. Back!”

“You were right, you are wild at this age but I still think I can handle you” I said. “I have to see what I look like” I said walking out of the room.

“Hey! Wait for me!” Eliza yelled behind me. I heard her mumble “Stupid big old clothes…” as I went down the hall to the bathroom where there was a full length mirror on the back of the door.

I swung the door open and my mouth dropped when I saw the reflection in the mirror. A grown woman stood there looking back at me. “Wow!” I said with my hands going to my cheeks “I’m huge!” I spun to the side and got a profile view and a look at my ass “Wow...” I repeated “I’m an adult…I look like I’m a fully grown adult woman!”

I ran my hands through my now very long and wavy brown hair. My face looked totally different, so mature and beautiful. I had big brown eyes, a small pert nose with a slight upturn at the end over plump pink lips that spread into a wide smile complete with dimples.

“Where are you?” I heard Eliza’s little voice coming down the hall. She came into the bathroom with her bra and tank top still clasped to her chest while still coming down to almost her knees.

When she stepped in and saw her tiny little body in the mirror next to mine, she dropped her shirt, stumbled out of it and ran naked down the hall crying.

“Oh come back” I said “It’ll be all right Eliza” I picked up her shirt and bra and put them on as I walked down the hall “Full Donald Ducking it here” I laughed as I walked back down the hall with no pants on. I got to the pile of discarded and torn clothing on the kitchen floor and I picked up Eliza’s pink panties and her denim shorts.

I put them on and even though they were tight, they would do. I picked at my old clothes and saw that they were absolutely destroyed from me growing out of them so I tossed them into the trash and went off to find Eliza.

“Eliza! Come out come out wherever you are!” I called out in a sing song voice.

I found her curled up into a ball on the couch covered in a blanket. “What’s with the pouty face? This is going to be fun! I get to babysit you now”

Eliza’s eyes narrowed “No this is not fun Sydney. What did I ever do to you for you to do this to me? I was nice to you…I played with you whatever you wanted to play, I paid attention to you”

“And now I get to play with you whatever you want to do” I said.

“I want to turn back into myself!” she said before she buried her head beneath the blanket and pulled it as tight as she could.

I stood up “I’ll tell you what. Let me get you some clothes to put on first and then we’ll play together and then if you’re good for me and take a bath and go to bed like a good little girl, maybe…just maybe at the end of the night I’ll wish for us to change back and we’ll see what happens”

I stood still and heard her sniffle and whimper a bit “Promise?” she said.

“I promise to at least try to wish us back to normal but I don’t know and I can’t promise it’ll definitely 100% work. I mean I didn’t think it would work to do this to us so who knows if it goes in reverse…we’ll just have to wait and see”

“And if I’m not good?” Eliza asked cautiously.

“If you’re not good than I don’t have to say a single thing about us switching back. I might even wish that the rest of the world always knew us like this…I’ll keep us like this forever and you’ll have to grow up all over again”

After a few seconds, the blanket came down and I saw her face “There’s my little girl” I said with a smile. “Let’s get you some clothes and then we can have some fun” I said slapping my hands down on my knees.

“I’m not coming out there until you get me some clothes” Eliza said holding the blanket tight and shaking her head. “I’m naked!”

“Okay, I’ll be right back” I said and ran up the stairs to my room.

“Wow, they bounce around so much when I run!” I said to myself as I held my chest down running up the stairs. I shot into my room and looked around “Tsk…so babyish!”

The bright pink walls with my name “Sydney” spelled out above the little bed made me laugh. “If I could snap my fingers and change that to Eliza up there I would do it…nothing in here will work for me if I stay this size”

I laughed about the possibility and grabbed a pair of underpants with Elsa on them along with pink cotton shorts and a white top with butterflies on it.

My boobs bounced even worse coming down the stairs “God, how do you do anything with these melons?” I swung around and my hip hit the table at the end of the couch.

I held out the clothes and dangled them over Eliza. She put her arm up but I held them higher than that “Stop it…cut it out Sydney” Eliza whined.

“I’m just teasing honey” I said.

“You don’t need to tease me! You’ve already turned me into a six year old…how much more teasing do you need to do?” Sydney said with pleading eyes.

“Okay…you’re right…here you go” I said dropping only the pair of panties down.

She snatched them in her tiny hands and quickly pulled them under the blanket. I saw her back arch up as she put the on “Elsa panties for Eliza” I said smiling.

“What about the rest of my clothes?” she said.

“Oh! They’re YOUR clothes now…you said it…you admitted it. You need your clothes” I said and tossed them to her.

“Shut UP!” Eliza yelled grabbing the clothes and putting them on.

I grabbed the blanket and yanked it off like a magician, revealing a cute little girl in my old clothes. “Ta-Da”

Eliza jumped up and off the couch.

“What do you want to play?” I asked her.

“Nothing” she said folding her arms over her flat chest.

“Come on…you’re no fun!” I told her with a poke on the top of her head.

She swatted at my hand but was too slow to hit anything.

I giggled but she just stood there mad “What am I going to do?” she muttered. “How am I ever going to explain this?”

“Come on Eliza…it’s already almost 7 o clock…it’s going to be your bedtime soon so you’d better play something” I said.

“I don’t…I just want to change back” Eliza said.

“I thought this would be fun but if you don’t want to have fun then we’ll just go take your bath and then go straight to bed” I announced.

“Fine” Eliza said. “Let’s play Monster High dolls”

“That’s better” I said.

We walked over to the corner of the living room where they dolls were lying on the ground with the play castle. I sat down crossed legged and so did she so we looked like our reversed selves from earlier when we played video games together. I picked up the doll closest to me and froze up.

I stared at the doll; I knew it was really mine but for whatever reason, I couldn’t think of the name of it. I tried to think of it but nothing was coming to me at all so I asked Eliza “So who is this?”

“That’s Frankie Stein duh” she answered in a heartbeat as she arranged the other dolls.

I crinkled my brow “Thanks” I said curiously.

She just went about setting everything up for us before saying “You can be Frankie and Lagoona Blue and I’ll be Draculaura and Abby Bomimable and we can both use Clawdeen when we need to”

“Um okay” I said stifling a laugh. Eliza was really into it now and knew all the names; names that I had forgotten somehow “This is kind of weird but also kind of awesome” I thought to myself as we played.

Eliza’s version of High School was also now off as she didn’t use any real class names as the dolls went about their day.

We played for about 45 minutes before Eliza looked at me and cocked her head “Oh my gosh Sydney…I’ve just been playing like I always did” she said surprised.

“Uh-Huh” I said nodding at her “Just like any little girl would”

“Oh no” she said.

“Are you ready for your bath?” I asked.

I watched the color drain out of her cheeks. Her bottom lip trembled “I have to don’t I” she said with her chin tucked against her chest.

“Yes you do young lady” I said. I stood up and grabbed her hand to help her up but she shook me off and got up on her own.

“Fine” she said in an unhappy tone.

I let her lead the way up the stairs to my bedroom “Do you want a bedroom like this one now” I asked.

“No” she said quickly but I caught her eyes darting around to my toys and I could tell she wanted to play in there.

“Pick out some pjs” I told her.

She sighed and went to the correct dresser drawer and picked out a nightgown with Tinkerbell on it.

“Come on” I said and patted my thigh and she followed me to the bathroom. I started up the water and made sure it wasn’t too hot while adding in bubbles.

Eliza’s cheeks were burning red when I nodded at her and said “Get undressed”

I saw her lips clamp down and white break out around them “I DON’T HAVE TO GET UNDRESSED INFRONNA YOU…YOU…POOPYHEAD!” Eliza shouted and sprinted out of the bathroom.

I heard her hit the stairs before I could even get up and begin to chase her.

“Get back here Eliza!” I yelled and began to run. I heard the back door slam shut “Oh you did not just run outside!”

I hit my hip on the post at the bottom of our steps and stubbed my pinky toe on it as I turned too quick “MMMMM FUCK!” I yelled at the hot pain in my toe as I limped while running through the kitchen and out the back door.

“Eliza!” I shouted but I didn’t see her anywhere in the back yard.

“Eliza!” I shouted again. I limped my way around the front of the house and I thought my eyes were going to bug out when I saw what she was trying to do “Eliza! Stop! You’re going to hurt yourself!”

Eliza was behind the wheel of her car trying to drive off. The car was running and I saw her lurch down to try and reach the pedal with her foot.

The engine gunned but the car didn’t move. She stomped on the gas again as I came around the car; she had forgotten to put the car in gear. She gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the gas pedal as I reached in and yanked the keys out.

Eliza put her forehead against the steering wheel and cried, talking and mumbling to herself over and over “I’m not a six year old…I’m not a six year old…”

I picked her up and she put her arms around my neck and she let herself get carried back into the house with her legs and feet wrapped around my waist.

“You were very naughty” I whispered in her ear as we went back inside. “I ought to spank your little butt”

“I don’t care” she said in a flat tone of voice “Do whatever you want to me…you’re going to anyway. I don’t have anything; this is the worst day of my entire life”

I dropped her onto the couch and said “Don’t say that”

She folded her arms over her chest and stuck out her bottom lip with a big sigh “Really, I get turned into a little kid by you and I hafta watch you turn into my age and I’m not supposed to think it’s a bad day?”

“Go take a bath” I told her.

“Fine…but you don’t get to watch!” Eliza said as she stomped off.

I watched her go up the stairs and I waited until I heard the door close before I crept up as quiet as I could. I stood outside the door and heard water moving and some splashing.

When I heard the water drain I moved back to the top of the stairs and waited for her to come out.

I had to smile and I suppressed a laugh when I saw her standing there in the Tinkerbell night gown down to her knees. Her long blonde hair was wet and combed straight out and small wet spots formed on her shoulders “You are so cute” I told her frowning face.

Eliza stomped past me and went down the stairs trying to make as much noise as possible on every stair. I followed her and she climbed up on the couch. Her feet barely came off the edge but she pointed her tiny toes and bent down her ankles to get as much length as possible.

I was about to start to talk to her when she put up her hand: Palm facing me in a ‘wait’ gesture. She closed her eyes tight and it looked like she was concentrating on something as her face was frozen and I could tell she was holding her breath. At least thirty seconds passed before I saw her open up her eyes and look at me.

“What?” I said curious as to what she was up to.

She licked her lips and exhaled long and slow and then I saw I slight smile flicker on the corners of her mouth. I saw her scan me up and down from head to toe before she sucked in a gasp of air and she pointed her toes again out as far as she could.

My stomach flipped and sank and warmth pulsated over me in waves. My face began to tingle and nerves in the back of my neck guided me to a sense of doom “What did you just do?” I asked.

Eliza smirked “I just wished that we could swap ages back…looks like you’re not the only one who can make a wish around here. If only I had just thought of this sooner…” she shrugged her shoulders and then added “Whoops…here I go”

I looked down and cocked my head as I saw her legs begin to stretch out longer. Her feet were dangling and she was waving them about and kicking up and down in joy.

“No! I’m not ready to change back yet…I get to say if we change back or not!” I said “I don’t want to change back into a little kid! I want to stay big”

“Too bad” Eliza said sticking out her tongue. “Who died and made you the boss that you can control my age?!” She jumped down off the couch and even though she only came up to the middle of my stomach, I was afraid of her if I really admitted to it.

The warm feeling was growing more intense in me and I knew my face was flush. I patted my cheeks and pressed down around my face; it already felt softer again but maybe that was my imagination. I thought I felt myself shrink; just a little bit at first but I thought a felt a jolt in my knees.

I knew I wasn’t imagining Eliza growing taller in front of me though. Her round little girl face was beginning to get longer already too and her teeth were filling in more and more adult teeth. Her nose was already getting bigger and I watched in fascination as her eyes changed shape and size.

“And don’t even try to change us back again because part of my wish was that we could never change back this way ever again” Eliza informed me as I watched her Tinkerbell nightgown rise up over her knees and begin to travel up over her thighs. Her hips were pushing out the sides of the nightgown as her legs plumped up and got rounder on top.

She shot her arms straight out as her sleeves rode up her skinny upper arms. She was watching her hands grow bigger and she had a relieved look on her changing face.

I ran to the mirror. By the time I got there, the right strap of the white tank top had slipped off and was down around my upper arm. I grabbed it and pulled it up as I watched my boobs begin to shrink back down smaller again. “AAAHHH!!!” I let out a quick yelp as I felt and saw myself begin to shrink down shorter in the mirror.

“No, no, no, no, no” I said squeezing my boobs out trying to make them bigger again. They kept getting smaller in my hands, slipping out and reducing more and more every time I tried to grab them.

I steadily decreased in size all around; my shoulders caved in, my chest flattened, my hips narrowed and my legs thinned all as they also got smaller and shorter. I was going back to being a little girl again.

I blinked a few times, my mouth hanging open in shock staring at my face as my cheeks lifted up higher and rounder and my nose shrank while my chin and jawline dropped.

“My HAIR!” I yelled and grabbed at it trying to pull it back down longer again as it rose up and thinned.

As I reached up and played with my short hair, my shorts dipped and drooped as my hips and butt lost all their curve. I could feel them sliding down but I was so fixated on my hair, I didn’t even care that they slipped off and fell to my ankles.

“I’ll take those thank you very much” I heard behind me in a deeper voice but not all the way deep.

“Eliza! You…You’re…” my voice was pitching higher and higher with each word I spoke.

“Almost as big as you again” she said with her voice dropping as I saw her growing taller and realized that we were almost the same size again.

I looked down and saw that she had bumps pushing out against Tinkerbell’s face and they were getting bigger and bigger. She reached down and winced as she took off my small panties. She had to work them over her bigger thighs but once they got over the rounding and widening orbs, they fell to the ground. She side stepped out of them and bent down. She grabbed for her shorts and underwear and made me hop around to get them off my ankles.

She smiled as she stepped into them and pulled them back up. The Tinkerbell nightshirt now looked like a tight top on her growing body “You’re bigger than me again” I said seeing that she was taller and older than me again.

“You’ve been bad” she said shaking her head as her blonde hair darkened, thickened and restyled itself.

I started to cry as I got smaller and smaller “My big girl body’s all gone” I said as I patted my chest and felt the soft but empty bra hanging around my whole skinny chest and drooping down to my waist.

I felt like a balloon that somebody had let the air out of. I had just gotten used to having that weight and height and now I was small again.

I looked up and saw a very mad looking and very big Eliza staring down at me with her hands on her hips. She was frowning and breathing in and out really hard and fast. I saw her run her tongue up over her teeth and suck her lips in tight.

“I…” I stared to say but my voice was all shaky and quiet. My cheeks and ears were burning and I stared down at the floor. I saw her big right foot tapping up and down fast so I looked at my own little feet as Eliza’s tank top swung around on me like a dress.

I could tell she was moving but I didn’t want to look up at her. She was taking off my nightgown but she was having trouble getting it over her big head and off her arms. I saw her boobies flop around and bounce.

“Give me my shirt” she said trying not to sound mad.

Instead of lifting it up over my head, I shook my shoulders and let it fall off to the ground. I looked at myself and saw what I had always seen again. I was six again.

Eliza bent down and grabbed her shirt and bra off the floor and handed me the pink panties that were laying there and my Tinkerbell nightgown. I put them on fast and watched her put her bra on and then slip her shirt on over her head.

“Go to bed” she hissed at me but I knew I was lucky to not get spanked so I took off running up the stairs to my room.

I shut my door and caught my breath standing there with my legs and arms spread out and my butt up against the door like she might come breaking through it like a wild bear at any second.

After like a minute like that, I jumped up on my bed and pulled at the covers until I was under them.

I pulled my sheet up to under my chin and I started to smile. I was thinking about the night and how pretty and big I was and how I was looking forward to looking like that for real.

I giggled when I thought about how little and cute Eliza had been and how much fun it had been to be in charge for a little bit. I even got her to go take a bath for me!

“I wish I could have stayed big for longer” I said quietly to myself “But then Mommy and Daddy might have gotten mad at me”

I was still awake later when I heard my Mommy and Daddy get home. Eliza must not have talked very long because it wasn’t even a minute later that I heard the front door close and her car start up.

I saw my door open and light came in “What are you doing still awake?” my Mommy asked me.

“I don’t know, I just can’t fall asleep” I answered.

Mommy came over and sat next to me on my bed “I wonder if I would have been bigger than Mommy?” I thought.

“Eliza said you were fine but that you have a very big imagination” Mommy told me.

I smiled and said “I had a great night!”

“I bet you did; what did you two play?” Mommy asked.

“We played that I was the babysitter and she was the little girl” I told her.

“Well we might have to play that game sometime…You can be the Mommy and I can be the little girl”

I just smiled.
