Karen marveled at how odd things seemed at her reduced status. The woman usually stood around 5'7" but now found herself at about four and a half feet tall. An inch shorter than Tricia and two inches taller than Claudia. "This is so weird!" she exclaimed as Claudia led her towards the laundry room. "I don't think I could ever get used to this." Claudia turned and smiled. "I know its a little weird but you do get used it. After awhile it's fun."
Karen paused as she took herself in. The sleeves of her blouse engulfed her hand while her pant legs pooled around her feet. Karen could feel her nylon socks slowly sliding off her diminutive feet. "Claudia," she asked. "How many times have you done this?" the small blonde turned around with a thoughtful look on her face. "Huh good question," she said. "Probably a couple dozen times at this point. Remember we've been friends with Katie since this summer."
Karen stopped dead in her tracks and gaped at Claudia. "You've made your self a kid a couple dozen times!" she exclaimed. "Aren't you ever worried about being so young?" Claudia turned and gave Karen a befuddled look then smiled. "You worry too much Karen and that's why I do this. Some people take up golf to relax, some people workout, me... I become a kid for the weekend."
Karen continued to gape before shrugging her shoulders and continuing to shuffle towards the laundry room. As quickly as she began though she paused and stopped. Karen's feet were suddenly quite cold, pulling up her pant legs she noticed that her nylon socks had finally slipped off. Karen was awestruck by this, instead of the worn and tired feet she was used to her feet were small, pink, and very smooth. Karen wiggled her toes just to be sure they were hers. "What's wrong now," Claudia asked. "Oh," Karen said meekly. "My socks fell off, I was kind of caught off guard." Claudia giggled. "Well come on," she said. "My feet are cold too so lets go get changed."
The two girls finally made their way into the laundry room with most of their clothing intact. Tricia had wasted no time in entering the small bathroom adjacent to the room and changing. Now the little African American girl stood in a yellow knee length nightgown taping her barefoot. "What took you so long," she asked. "We're missing out on everything. Hurry up and get dressed." Claudia smiled before grabbing a nightgown and disappearing into the bathroom and locking the door. Karen turned towards Tricia with a befuddled look. "Claudia seems to really enjoy this alot huh."
Tricia smiled. "It's kind of a hobby for her. She gets to relax, have fun, and not worry about things for a day or two." Karen nodded solemnly as she looked the young girl over. "She mentioned something like that," she said. "Still I worry that with no adults around if something happens we would be in real trouble." Tricia shook her head before smiling. "I used to be the same way. I still worry sometimes but if something bad happens Katie has her ring so anyone can be an adult." "Aren't you worried about becoming more and more of a kid the longer you stay like this?" Karen asked. Tricia grinned before answering. "I used to worry about that but I discovered the ring doesn't turn you into a child permanently unless you want it too. That's why Claudia and me are comfortable with this. No matter what we want to be adults again."
Karen was about to ask another question but was interrupted as Claudia burst out of the bathroom. The young blonde girl had changed into a powder blue nightgown similar to Tricia's. "Okay Karen your turn," she said. Karen nodded as she grabbed a nightgown and entered the bathroom. Locking the door behind her Karen let her pants finally fall to the floor. Examining herself Karen smirked as she looked at her thin legs with knobby knees. She continued to look herself over as she dressed. Her body possessed no hint of curves at this age being straight as a board. Her face appeared girlish and innocent with wide eyes and long straight black hair. Quickly she removed the rest of her clothes and put her nightgown and panties on.
The panties were simple cotton while the nightgown itself was a soft pink that descended to her knees. Karen stood in amazement at her appearance. Aside from her oversized glasses she looked like a typical 10 year old girl at a sleepover. Gathering up her discarded clothing she exited the bathroom to see Tricia and Claudia waiting for her. "How do I look," she asked meekly. Tricia and Claudia both smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "Great," they cheered. "So you ready?" Karen nodded as she pushed her glasses back up her nose. "I think so," she said. "Just wish my glasses still fit their too big for me now." "Don't worry Katie can fix that," Claudia said. "Now come on lets get the party started."
