“Hey Hannah…you on and everything going okay?” Rachel Lewis asked her younger sister as she came into the kitchen to find her sitting at the table with her laptop open in front of her.
“Yep Rachel…I’m doing good” Hannah replied.
“Is that your sister Hannah?” They heard coming from the screen.
Rachel bent down, crouching behind her sister and getting herself on camera. She gave a little wave. “Hey everybody…this is my sister Rachel; she’s home from college” Hannah said.
“Hello! I was just checking on her…our connection has been going in and out a bit this morning, I just wanted to make sure she was connected”
The teacher, who was in the top middle surrounded by about 12 other little kid faces smiled “Well thank you for checking on her. If we have any problems she can email me later. We’re learning fractions today if you’d like to sit in with us” the teacher laughed.
“Oh thank you but I’m just coming down to check on Hannah and grab some coffee. I actually have a lecture on organic chemistry starting in a few minutes”
“Oooo that sounds like a lot of fun” the teacher said.
“I know right?!” Rachel said. She waved “Bye guys…have fun” she added as she padded across the kitchen.
“We always appreciate guests” she heard the teacher add in before she started in on her lesson.
Rachel swept her hair off her face as she made her coffee.
Hannah settled in, her feet swinging a few inches above the ground. Rachel watched her sister’s little feet cross left over right, swing forward and then cross right over left.
Rachel was a very tall girl 5’11”. She had long thick brown hair and big brown eyes.
Her little sister was just that; little. She was small for her age and looked even younger than her actual age of 10.
Hannah had light brown hair and green eyes. She still had two holes in her smile where teeth were missing. She was still wearing her pjs; a tight matching pair of pink leggings and a pink top with purple long sleeves.
Rachel was in a pair of black shorts that she had slept in and showed off plenty of leg. She didn’t care, she was only on camera from the waist up on her computer and absolutely no one was dressing up, even her professor was in a ratty old Beatles t-shirt yesterday.
Rachel had on a yellow long sleeved tee with the Miller College Rams on it. She stirred some cream into her coffee “I’ll check on you later shrimp”
Hannah just smiled “Don’t call me that” she laughed.
“Oh you love it and you know it” Rachel said as she rubbed her little sister’s hair as she went by with a smirk.
Hannah heard her sister’s footsteps go up the stairs to her room as she listened to her lesson.
Rachel got out her laptop and took a seat at her desk, settling in and putting in the code for her lecture.
She saw her professor waiting as more and more signed in, their pictures appearing all around him.
Rachel took notes but after 10 minutes, she was zoning out.
That was when her screen froze.
It picked back up, froze again, then her screen went black “Oh God Dammit! This is so annoying!” she said. She leaned forward but just before she could turn her computer off to reboot it, the screen came back up. “Oh” she said simply seeing what had appeared “Oh Wow haha!” she laughed.
Hannah was watching her teacher when her screen froze. It picked back up, froze again, then her screen went black. “Uh oh” she said. It wasn’t the first time she had been kicked off. It happened to just about everyone at some point “This is so annoying!” she said. She put her hand up to her head and rested her elbow on the table as her screen came back up.
But something was wrong. “Oh hello there” she heard the teacher say.
“Um…I think something went wrong” Hannah said seeing her screen. It was filled with adults.
“I see we have a new student. This is a college lecture on Organic Chemistry young lady”
“I was in my class and my screen went black…when it came back up…I was here” Hannah said.
“OH she’s so cute!” Hannah heard one of the girls say.
“I get it…weird glitches are bound to happen” the professor said smiling. “I hope you take my class some day for real”
Hannah shut off her camera but could still hear when the professor went back to talking.
“You seem a bit old for my class Miss” Rachel heard the teacher say.
Rachel saw a young female teacher surrounded by little kids “I am so sorry; my screen glitched out and went black and when I came back up, I was here you…Again I am so sorry”
“Wait…you’re Hannah’s sister right? We just saw you a few minutes ago”
“Oh. Oh yeah! I knew I recognized all of you” Rachel laughed “We’re all on a learning curve I guess with this new reality”
“A new and strange reality is right” the teacher said.
“Bye guys” Rachel said as she turned off her camera. She could still hear the teacher as she began talking again as Rachel looked for her class code again.
She found an alpha numeric code written out in a rather crude and childish scrawl.
She logged out and restarted put in the one written down ‘joining class in session’ came up and a swirling logo spun around.
The camera came up and Rachel saw herself on screen, but just herself. She heard a voice coming through now “So 6 over 8 is the same as 3 over 4”
Rachel shivered.
Hannah was still looking for her code. She logged out and typed it back in. Her camera came back up and she saw her face fill up her screen “So breaking down a compound based in…”
Hannah shivered.
“This is the class I’m supposed to be in” she thought.
“This isn’t the class I’m supposed to be in” Rachel thought yet she couldn’t look away from her image on screen, something was wrong but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. “Is it?”
As Rachel squinted at her image, she brought her hand up to her face to scratch her nose. Her sleeve touched.
“What the heck?” Rachel said sliding back in her chair. She brought her hand up and saw that it was covered by the end of her sleeve. She flipped her wrist and brought her other hand up only to find that it too was covered by her sleeve “Did this get stretched out?” she thought confused.
She looked down and saw the neckline was loose, the chest was loose, everything was flopping.
Rachel stood up and felt her shirt flutter atop her. Her shorts slipped down as well. That was when she looked around. Her room looked bigger. “How…?” her mind was reeling.
Rachel pressed on her chest and gasped.
She began to frantically slap and grab sliding her sleeves up past her elbows. Then, she suddenly stopped. She shivered again and while watching the wall in front of her, watched it move higher.
Her jaw dropped and she froze momentarily as odd shivers ran across her chest, back and stomach.
Butterflies took off in her stomach and she heard it growl.
She gasped again though as she felt her ass suck inward and her shorts fell down.
Rachel grabbed them with her sleeve covered hands. Her sleeves had somehow managed to fall all the way back down again but now, her shirt was even bigger. She realized that originally, her hands were barely covered, now, her hands were way up in the sleeves. “What is happening to me?!” she said.
Her eyes went wide as she heard her voice; it sounded so high and whiny.
That was when she saw her monitor and the image in it, it was a picture of a little girl.
“What?!” she yelled.
She jumped into her chair; her feet swung above the ground.
She was planning on scooting her chair closer but now she found herself unable to do that. Her feet sat atop the rollers and merely swung helplessly when she went to move.
She sagged down in the chair when she saw her face on screen; it was the face of a little kid.
“What?!” she cried out again.
Rachel leaned forward and the kid on screen got closer too.
Rachel examined the kid on her screen and as her tiny jaw dropped, Rachel recognized the face. It was hers from 10 years ago.
Rachel jerked back in her chair pushing it back. Her skinny legs shot up and out and her tiny feet came into view.
She jumped out of the chair landing on those little feet as her shorts dropped down and covered them.
Rachel’s long legs were anything but. Now skinny and short, Rachel was tiny “What happened to me?! I turned into a little kid!”
She began to hyperventilate as her computer connected and her teacher came up along with her classmates.
Hannah shifted forward in her seat at the dining room. Underneath the dining room table, the legs on her tight pjs began to slowly rise on her calves.
Her top began to feel tight but she just shifted her shoulders annoyed more at her screen still loading in than her shirt feeling tight even as it broke contact with her pants and began to expose her stomach.
Hannah blinked. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the sleeves of her top begin to retreat up her arms exposing most of her forearms. Suddenly it tightened across her upper back causing her to suck in air. As she exhaled, her shirt began to rip and tear underneath her arms first. The sides tightened as the seams tore apart.
Hannah put her feet flat on the floor and shoved back just as the seams along the sides of her legs ripped out. Her flesh popped through ripping them further, quickly tearing her tight pj pants apart.
“Ah!” she yelled out quickly. Her feet pressed down and she stood up where it really hit her how different the dining room looked. It looked small. The tabletop was below her waist.
The waistband of her pjs exploded apart as her hips and ass grew out big and round and wide. Her thighs continued to grow fuller and her legs grew longer.
Her feet gripped the floor as she continued to shift. Her top was tearing to shreds as her arms grew out and her back spread out wider.
“Ah God!” she said as her shoulders shot back and her chest shot out. Breasts were growing out, sensitivity shot through her body and she quickly bent forward.
The weight of her newfound breasts swung down as she went down. Her hair was growing out longer and thicker and it blanketed her as she wrapped her arms around her stomach and chest.
Going back straight, she flipped her hair out of her way and now her eye caught sight of her monitor. And the grown woman who was on the screen.
She leaned in and the face went into close up. She saw green eyes and light brown hair on this woman. It looked so familiar, so right “Is that me?!”
Her screen connected and she dove out of sight.
Hannah tucked and rolled across the dining room floor to the laundry basket sitting on the other side of the room.
“Are you there Hannah?” she heard the professor ask.
“Um yeah…I just had to go and um, grab something on the other side of the room” she bit her bottom lip as she found a shirt belonging to Rachel. She tore the remains of her own top off and put on the hooded sweatshirt.
She tore off the tattered remains of her pj pants too mumbling “Oh my God” at seeing her very developed and mature legs. She put on a pair of her sisters’ shorts “How did this happen? What happened?”
“You’re not the only one having glitches right now Hannah” the professor said. “Seems like a lot of you are cutting in and out today”
Hannah jumped back in front of the screen and flipped her hair out of her way “Sorry” she was out of breath.
“My screen is glitching out as well so I’m going to end this a bit early today. You can all read my notes online and if you have any questions, you can facetime me later”
“Um okay” Hannah said as faces clicked off.
She shut off her camera and sprinted upstairs.
The camera came up on Rachel’s classroom and the teacher who was describing fractions stopped and smiled. “I see Rachel has decided to do the flip the switch challenge while her camera has been out”
Rachel looked down and saw how silly she looked in her giant Rams long sleeve tee. “We’re done with the lesson. Do the questions on google classroom and if you have any questions you can email me. And Rachel…give your big sister back her shirt okay…Haha have a good day everyone” the teacher logged off and the screen went to her home screen.
Rachel heard heavy footsteps pounding up the stairs and when her door slammed open she screamed seeing the very tall, very adult woman standing there.
“Rachel?!” Hannah cried out in amazement
“Hu…Hannah?” she managed to squeak out.
“Oh my God what happened to us?!” Hannah said rushing to the little girl and wrapping her in a huge hug.
“Hannah?” Rachel could only repeat herself weakly.
“Yeah…it’s me…I don’t know how or why but it’s me…” Hannah hugged her little sister tight and they rocked back and forth. “Oh my gosh Rachel…”
“How did you get so big Hannah?” Rachel asked innocently.
“I don’t know…one minute I was in my math class then my computer glitched and I was in your lecture so I logged out and when it came back up, I started growing” she let her sister go and shrugged “Now I look like this”
“The same thing happened to me Hannah!” Rachel said sounding very childish. “My screen went out and I went to go back in and while my computer was thinking about it…” she threw her tiny arms out, her sleeves flapped away “And then I starting shrinking!”
“I know but I don’t know…we’re obviously…well, it looks like we flipped ages with each other.
Rachel patted her flat chest and her straight hips “Yeah…I didn’t just shrink, I got younger”
“And I got older” Hannah said.
“You’ve got a body like I did. You look like you should be in college instead of me” Rachel said.
“I know and you look like you should be the 4th grader in the house” Hannah said.
“But why did we switch places?” Rachel said.
“I have no idea” Hannah slumped and sat on the corner of the bed and put her head in her hands. As she did, thoughts began to enter. Knowledge, education, experience. She sat up, her jaw open staring at Rachel as Rachel stared off at the wall blankly.
Rachel blinked and turned to face her big sister “Uh…I think we just switched something else”
Hannah could only nod ”I never asked for this…I never wanted to do this”
“Neither did I but it happened. I’m totally a 4th grader again and you’re now a college junior” she shook her head “This is the worst quarantine ever”
