"I'm so nervous Aunt Bonnie" Ella Andrews said.

"I know you are sweetie but you have such a beautiful voice and you are going to do great! Just take a deep breath and sing. The audience will fade away and then they'll be so into your song, it won't matter" Bonnie McMasters said as she crouched down to get eye to eye with her 9 year old niece. 

"I have been singing in front of people since I was even younger than you...if I can do it, so can you! You want to be like your Aunt Bonnie?"

"I do but I'm so nervous that I'm shaking!" Ella said. "I wish we could like, switch places or something! And then you could go out a sing instead of me"

"Well I would if I could but this is a kid's talent contest...I'd stick out and be disqualified haha" Bonnie laughed.

"We could, like, switch ages! Then I'd be used to singing cause I'd have done it for like 20 some years!"

"As much as I'd love to be a kid again, I don't know how that would work out kiddo!" Bonnie was still smiling wide. "But if picturing yourself as an adult helps with your nerves, then absolutely go for it!"

Ella closed her eyes and took a deep breath "I wish I was as old as my Aunt" she said and nodded her head. Then she opened them and gave a sly smirk "Oh! And I wish she could be a kid again" She looked at her Aunt who was in the process of standing back up and she smiled and added "You know...just in case in worked haha"

Ella was dressed up for the occasion. She wore a black dress with sparkles sewn in so when the stage lights hit, she would shimmer. She wore white tights and black Mary Jane's and her long straight blonde hair was held back by a black hairband with a bow on top.

Bonnie had gotten dressed up to support her niece. She wore a red dress, tight up top with short sleeves with a pleated skirt that stopped just above her knees along with a pair of tan heels. Her brown hair was cut at her collar and both of them shared the same bright green eyes.

"I remember doing talent shows like this" Bonnie said reflecting back with some quick flash backs playing in her head "I do kind of miss them"

"See! That's why this would be perfect if you were just the kid and I was the adult" Ella said "I'm getting too scared. I don't think I can do this Aunt Bonnie" 

"I wish I could help you out kiddo" Bonnie replied. She was filled with empathy; she knew the nerves. She felt butterflies rising in her stomach too now even as she just stood there. "Let’s take a little walk down the hall to help you with your nerves"

Ella smiled and walked next to her Aunt. She came up to about the middle of her chest and hearing her Aunt’s heels clacking on the tile floor was comforting. "I'm not going to have to sing" she thought. She tried to calm herself down by distracting herself with a fantasy scenario where she didn't have to sing, one where she was in the audience instead of on the stage.

"What if I switched places with Aunt Bonnie?" She thought hard trying to picture it.

"I would be the taller one and have long legs…" in her mind she began to rise up taller. "...and Aunt Bonnie would be short; shorter than me right now even!" And in her mind’s eye, her Aunt shrank down and had to hustle her little legs to keep with her own long strides and the clacking came from her feet now as she was the one wearing heels.

Ella giggled, picturing their sizes reversed, but now she concentrated on their faces changing. "I can’t still look like a little girl if I'm a mature woman!" She thought trying to picture her own face as an adult.

It came into focus. She still had her blonde hair but it was a bit darker and thicker and wavy. All of her features looked grown up. She still looked like herself, just older. And in return, she pictured herself looking down into the face of a child who was looking up at her in awe; Bonnie, now reduced to a 9 year old girl complete with a missing tooth.

She had a round face and a tiny little nose. Her hair was lighter, almost blonde and a lot longer.

Ella took in a deep breath feeling relaxed the deeper she went and the more detailed her daydream became.

Little did she know that next to her, her Aunt was thinking about the same thing.

"What if Ella and I somehow switched places?" She thought as visions of it began to fill her head.

In her vision with her next step she felt her heel hit flat against the floor and she looked down to see that her shoes had changed from her heels to a very childish pair of flat Mary Jane's; she could even feel the strap around her ankle. 

Her feet also looked absolutely miniscule! And her legs were short and super skinny, not a hint of curve or maturity to them. That was when she heard clicking coming from the side of her. 

Bonnie glanced to her left and saw a woman's legs striding next to her, taking longer steps, feet clad in black heels the legs alone looked almost as big as her whole self.

Bonnie allowed her eyes to train up. 

She was walking next to a woman who towered over her: She wasn't quite up to this woman's breasts.

The woman had dark blonde wavy hair and green eyes. She looked to be in her early 30s, "My age" Bonnie thought before feeling confused "No...that's not right. Not anymore. That's NOT my age anymore...I switched with Ella so that would mean…" she looked down at her red velvet dress; no curve to it at all in front or on the sides. Her little legs clad in a pair of white tights topped off with black Mary Jane's. She felt a hairband stuck in her thin light brown hair and she could see her own face, her own self image floated up.

And it was that of a 9 year old girl.

Round face with immature features, a small nose and thin lips and a round chin; no signs of maturity. 

The woman looked down at her and Bonnie recognized her; it was her Aunt Gabriella. "Aunt Ella?" She said in awe.

"Yes sweetie, what is it? Are you still nervous?" The woman asked in a soothing but very mature and melodic voice.

Bonnie felt herself nod looking up. Oddly, she felt very comfortable like this.

The two of them had walked to the end of the hallway both lost in their own thoughts "What if…?" they both thought.

"I wish…" they both added as their eyes met.

"...that we Could switch places…" they both began to smile.

"...and I was the kid…" Bonnie thought.

"...and I was the adult…" Ella thought.

Their smiles widened, their heart rates rising "...and Ella was the adult…" Bonnie added.

"...and Bonnie was the kid…" Ella added.

They both nodded with a quick jerk down of their chins simultaneously both thinking a final "What if?!"

Ella laughed as she scanned her Aunt from her head to her feet. "I should be the one wearing heels; not her" she thought as she watched her Aunt rock her right foot back onto her heel and nervously twitch her foot back and forth.

"I shouldn't be the one wearing shoes like these...she should" Bonnie thought suddenly very uncomfortable and self-conscious of her heels and all her clothes.

Ella's tights felt itchy. Her dress felt babyish and restrictive. She put her arms out straight in front of her, her long sleeves of her dress went all the way to her wrists but her hands no longer felt like they should be so small "Concentrate...maybe if I Concentrate"

Bonnie tugged at the short sleeve of her red dress. She fidgeted and slouched and her eyes darted about "Concentrate...maybe if I Concentrate"

The next thing Bonnie knew, she suddenly dropped two inches and her heels slammed into the ground. "OW!" She yelled out, swiping her hair away as she leaned forward and stared down to the ground and her feet. Which were no longer encased in a pair of tan heels but rather a pair of black, flats; Mary Jane's as she could feel the straps around her ankles.

Something else caught her attention at the same time. Her legs were now bright white. She was wearing a pair of white tights.

Bonnie's eyes trained up. The pleats of her skirt were gone. Her dress was thicker, a crushed red velvet material with long sleeves. She felt something in her hair; little spikes digging in; a black hairband stuck in her hair now.

Ella heard her Aunt but she suddenly found herself lurching forward and she had to pinwheel her arms to maintain her balance. 

She took a step forward and everything felt off. 

She heard a loud clack as she stomped her foot catching herself from falling forward. But her heel was up in the air and she couldn't get it to go down flat.

Ella looked down and gasped at what she saw.

Her little feet were now encased in a pair of tan high heels.

Her legs were bare. 

Her black dress was now pleated and cut at her knees and as her eyes trained up, she saw her arms were bare now too. The dress no longer sparkled, it was plain black and form fit at the top.

Bonnie looked at Ella and Ella looked at Bonnie. Both were shocked at the sudden wardrobe changes and they both pulled back.

"Is this…?!" Ella thought

Bonnie recognized these outfits from her imagination just seconds earlier "Is this really going to happen?!"

Bonnie felt the oddest sensation in her stomach. She almost felt like she was floating. Her stomach flitted about and lifted hanging there momentarily, then she began to shrink.

She saw the walls and everything surrounding her start to move, going higher in her sight. She felt her body tingle and tighten like she was being pressed inward.

Her jaw dropped "Am I?! Am I shrinking?!"

Even Ella looked bigger to her.

Ella's stomach rose up; it felt like it was in her throat. Her leg muscles clenched and she felt an odd pulling sensation in them and in her arms, then that spread to her back too.

The room started to move, everything was sliding down, getting smaller around her, including her Aunt.

Ella was growing. "Am I...am I getting bigger?!"

"I think you are Ella" Bonnie called out.

"You’re shrinking Aunt Bonnie! I'm up to your chin...now your nose...I…"

They both had a look of shock on their faces as the two of them now stood eye to eye.

They stopped moving for the moment. "What’s going on Aunt Bonnie? What's happening to us?" Ella asked, her voice already sounding different; a bit deeper and husky.

"I...I think we're switching places, Ella. I know it sounds nuts but…" Bonnie replied, her voice sounded a bit higher and rushed.

"Oh my gosh! I was thinking about that!" Ella admitted "I was picturing us swapping ages and it was helping me calm down"

"I was thinking about it too!" Bonnie admitted "You mentioned it and I just started visualizing it...it just popped into my head and...well…"

Bonnie's face started to change as she talked. Her features started to shift and change shape. They were losing their maturity and sharpness one by one. Her face was rounder. Her lips thinned and her nose shrank. Her eyes rounded as her cheeks puffed out with baby fat.

Her ears shrank, her chin and jaw softened and pulled up weaker and much less defined as her nose pulled back and up to a child's button nose.

Both of their eyes widened.

Ella's face now began to change as well but she was gaining the maturity and definition that Bonnie was losing.

Her face gained maturity as her chin and jaw strengthened and lengthened. Her lips plumped and her eyes popped as they shifted wider above sharp, defined cheekbones.

Her ears grew and she bared her teeth as they grew, straightened and filled in.

Bonnie bared her teeth, small, crooked, a mismatch of adult and baby with one lower incisor missing.

Their hair now began to change as Ella's thickened and darkened and pulled up into an actual style, no longer just the long, straight hair of a kid.

As it did, Bonnie's hair lightened and thinned and grew long and straight pulling back, held back by her hairband.

"You!" They both said.

"You look like a kid!" Ella said, her voice dropping as she spoke.

"You look like a grown up!" Bonnie said, her voice rising in pitch and sounding very childish by the last word.

Ella now sprang up, growing an inch taller than her Aunt and she gasped again as she realized she now was looking down at her.

Bonnie began to shrink again and their height gap began to widen in the opposite direction. 

Bonnie could feel her body now changing.

Her clothes were shrinking along with her.

She would feel her shoes get loose as her feet shrank inside them. She would lift and wiggle her toes until the shoes would shrink and clamp down tighter again.

Same with her tights and her dress. They would loosen and feel baggy for a second and then tighten back up on her.

Her legs were losing their curves. Her hips and ass were narrowing and pulling inward and she felt her breasts feeling like they were being squeezed.

She squirmed at the pinching as her breasts lifted up, losing mass. They rose up and stood up high and pert like when she was a teen and then they shrank down even more.

More and more, they got smaller and smaller. She felt her bra vanish, no longer needed. In the next breath, her chest went totally flat.

Her arms were skinny, her hands shrank down losing half their size leaving short, thin fingers with flat plain nails.

Bonnie's dress fluttered as she lost all curve to her hips and ass and her thighs slimmed away.

All maturity was gone from her body as she dropped another few inches in height, down to just 4'2"...A bit shorter than Ella had been at 9.

Ella's body began to strain as it grew not oy larger but now added maturity to it. Her legs became defined and curvy. Her calves popped, her thighs thickened, her hips and ass began to press outward, filling out her dress noticeably. 

Her feet were growing inside her heels. They would grow tight and her toes would feel cramped before they would adjust and expand and allow her feet to grow larger.

Her dress too was growing to keep up with her maturing body.

Ella felt a bra appear on her and she quickly began to fill it out. Her breasts rose up from absolutely nothing. 

They lifted and rose off her chest, cone shaped at first but rapidly filling out into perfect 36Cs. As she aged, they settled a bit lower but retained their perfect shape.

Ella's body raced through her teens and 20s and into her early 30s; 32 to be exact.

She grew taller and taller, her long legs stretched out taking her up to 5'8", about 2 inches taller than Bonnie had been.

An energy seemed to swirl around them and then, everything was just still and quiet.

Ella lurched and staggered backwards. Her back hit the wall behind her and she put her arms out and felt her palms flat against the cold tile as she took in a loud gasp of air.

Bonnie rolled forward and caught herself deftly, easily bouncing up to stand straight. But once she did, she froze and stood completely still.

They stared at one another in shock. "Ah!" Bonnie managed to croak out.

Ella eased off the wall and reset her feet, feeling them shift inside her heels. She heard the clack coming from her shoes "Bonnie? Aunt Bonnie? Are you okay?"

Bonnie released her tensed muscles and stance. Her small hands went to her face and touched. Her expression was one of awe as her hands touched her flat chest and she began to look down, cataloging her body and all its changes "Ella...i...I think so" she looked over and up "Look at you! What...You look so grown up"

"And you look so small and, um, so young!" Ella responded. 

"We switched places...it actually happened. I'm a little kid now and You're the grown up" Bonnie said.

"So we switched ages...I'm 32 and you're 9" Ella said. 

Bonnie just nodded.

"So if we switched ages...then...I guess that makes me your Aunt now" Ella said. 

"My Mom…" Bonnie paused "My sister is now My Mom!"

"And my Mom is now my sister" Ella replied.

"Bonnie Andrews!" 

They both turned and saw the Stage Manager at the end of the hallway. "You’re on in a few minutes honey. This act, then a magic act, then you're up"

Bonnie suddenly got nervous as Ella put her hand on her Niece’s back and started them walking back down the hall.

Bonnie had to walk fast to keep up with her Aunt’s long strides. 

"You’re going to do awesome! Just focus on the song and the crowd will simply melt away" Ella McMasters said.

When they got to the end, Ella crouched down, smiled and gave Bonnie a big hug. 

Ekka went to the side door and made her way to her seat next to her sister.

She sat and crossed her long legs "She’s still nervous but not as bad...she's going to do great" Ella whispered to her sister Courtney.

"Thanks Aunt Gabriella….you know she looks up to you" Courtney teased.

Ella just smiled.

Later, Bonnie posed for a picture with her Aunt and her 1st place trophy and Courtney couldn't tell who was prouder.
