“Now, what shall you become...."
“Umm…”
Caleb was about to start a sentence, but that was stifled when he met the Sorcerer’s eyes again.
“Yes, Caleb?” Her voice sounded innocent enough, yet Caleb still flinched.
“Uh…sorry, I-I have to go to the bathroom.”
Small giggles broke out in the audience. “Tsk tsk. Such excuses, Caleb”, the Sorcerer scolded with an amused raise of her eyebrow. “Are you really not as brave as I thought you were?”
“N-no…”
Even more giggles and laughs broke from the kid audience. "Oh come now, you should be braver than that! You’re acting just like a baby!”, the Sorcerer teased, as she waved a dismissive hand. And then, she paused.
“Hmmmm…actually, why not?”
The Sorcerer reached out her fingers, with nails painted in glowing turquoise, and gave a snap.
Immediately, Caleb lost his balance and landed backwards on the ground on his rear. Caleb didn’t seem bothered by this, as right after, the eleven year old boy plugged his thumb into his mouth and started sucking on it, while saliva began dribbling down his lips. He used his other hand to play with his sneakered feet.
There were a couple of laughs in the audience, but most of the watching kids were awed at the sight of Caleb openly humiliating himself. Further back in the stands, Katie looked more concerned.
“She’s hypnotizing him!”, Katie whispered to Nate.. When she didn’t get a reply, Katie turned to see her brother’s face occupied by a wide, shameless grin. She couldn’t believe it.
“You like what she’s doing to him?”
“ ….yeah, a little…”, Nate uttered. While the twins watched, Caleb started rolling around with his spit-soaked hands around his ankles, all while letting out adorable squeals that got even more kids in the audience cracking up.
“Goo gah gahh…”, Caleb cooed happily in a blubbering voice.
“Well, look at this!” the Sorcerer called out, as she circled the hapless hypnotized boy. “What ever happened to the brave boy who was standing here with me? All I see now is a gigantic baby!”
She reached out her hand again. “Does any one want to see him as a real baby?”
“YEAH!” shouted several kids in the audience.
“Alright then. Get ready for one little baby!”
She snapped her fingers. Immediately, Caleb started to rapidly shrink in size, with his head deflating like a balloon and sinking into the neck hole of shirt. His shoes fell off his feet, and all his clothes collapsed all over him like a miniature tent. The kids in the audience watched in fascination.
Eventually, Caleb shrunk so much he had completely vanished into the clothes pile, and the child audience could only see a bit of wiggling inside the pile. The Sorcerer went up to the clothes, and reached her hands in.
“Ah, there we go…” She moved the neck hole of Caleb’s shirt a bit, and eventually the head of a little infant boy poked its way out. Little Caleb smiled and laughed as more saliva dribbled from his mouth.
The audience gasped. Nate had finally stopped grinning while Katie’s mouth was wide open in horror. For a moment, he had actually forgotten the Sorcerer could change bodies into something else.
“Ladies and gentlemen, CALEB! OUR BRAVE VOLUNTEER!”
The Sorcerer pulled him out. The crowd of kids soon broke into hysterical laughter when they realized Caleb was now completely naked. The hollering became even louder, as right as the Sorcerer hoisted Caleb up for the audience to see, a stream of yellow liquid started spouting from little Caleb’s wiener, splattering right in front of the Sorcerer’s feet.
“Holy…are we supposed to look?!?”, Nate uttered. Katie didn’t answer. She knew that somehow this was all wrong, and yet she couldn’t take her eyes off of the stage. Katie did glance over to the laughing audience, and saw that Olivia was gawking silently at the sight of her brother’s transformation. She didn’t look entirely upset.
The magical woman only acted mildly surprised as Caleb urinated. “Well…looks like our volunteer needed to go to the bathroom after all!” she quipped, as she watched Caleb doing his business.
Caleb didn’t seem any concerned about what had happened to him. Instead, he cooed and giggled at the sight of the big kids around him, and he playfully wiggled his limbs around as he let loose his bladder onto the stage below.
Eventually, Caleb’s bladder trickled away as the audience continued to let out grossed-out laughs. The Sorcerer gently placed Caleb atop of his now oversized clothes.
“Here we go, sit here for a moment…” The Sorcerer stood back up and, with a wave of magic and a sound of sparkles, the fresh puddle of urine on the stage quickly evaporated.
“There, all cleaned up. Again, give a round of applause for our little volunteer Caleb!!”
In the stands, Katie and Nate kept quiet together while the rest of the audience clapped. Oddly, Joey, the one boy sitting next to them was acting silent as well.
“Now, for my next act of magic, perhaps we can change little Caleb again here! Or maybe we can another volunteer onto the stage…”
