Katie and Kellie followed their new friends as they headed towards the boardwalk. The four rejuvenated girls really did look awkward in their current swimsuits, which were sized and styled for older ladies. Even their sandals were mismatched with their smaller feet. Katie supposed she could have used the ring to make their clothes match their younger bodies, but she wasn't sure if she could do that without them noticing. Katie did want to tell her new friends about the magic ring, but not yet. She wanted to get to know them better as just friends.
As they were getting close to one of the swimsuit stores, they spotted someone familiar. Aunt Lisa spotted them as well. "Hey girls," she said, "Silly me, I didn't get enough suntan lotion. I don't want to burn out there. What are you all doing here?"
"Our friends need some new threads," said Kellie.
Lisa gave the quartet one look and said, "I'll say. What were you thinking dressing up like that?"
"Honestly...I can't remember," said Samantha.
"Well, my fashion sense can't abide you dressed up like that. And since you're such good friends of my niece and her girlfriend, I'll pay for what you get," said Lisa.
"You don't have to do that," said Mary Elise.
"You sure? I have more money than you do," said Lisa. Katie paused at that. She hadn't considered the girls would be lower in funds now that they were younger. Chances were the wallets in their purses no longer had credit cards. She'll have to be more thoughtful about that kind of thing in the future.
"Well, I can't pass that up," said Claudia. The other girls were in agreement at that. With that, the girls walked into the swimsuit store.
While the other girls were looking for new swimsuits, Kellie pulled Katie aside. "You thinking about changing their ages?" asked Kellie.
"Already?" asked Katie.
"Watching them grow young was pretty exciting," said Kellie, "And now that your aunt's here, we can change her age too. Like make her the same age as us."
"I don't think we should make her younger than 25," said Katie, "She can't stay my aunt if she's too young and I don't want to deal with a different legal guardian."
"Well, you can make the other girls 25," suggested Kellie, "They could be your aunt's friends too."
"If I do that, I may as well make them 30," said Katie.
"They could all be 25," said Kellie.
"Or we could be 25," said Katie. She had been itching to age up herself and Kellie and see how hot they would be.
"'We' just us or 'we' all of us?" asked Kellie.
"Either one," said Katie, "We could all be 30 too."
"No, I don't think I want to be 30 yet," said Kellie.
Katie rubbed the ring as she considered her options...
