Merlin and the others watched as slowly but surely things began to focus. Kat and Kel immediately recognized what was going on.
"Well their we are," Kel stated. "And from the looks of it, it's just before we become babies again."
"Really," Katie exclaimed. "Oh wow this is going to be cool, bet you guys are adorable."
Kel frowned as Kat now took her hand, giving it a squeeze. As they watched they quickly saw Marilyn step forward. "Whats your grandma doing," Kellie asked.
"I don't know," Katie said thoughtfully. "That never happened the first time. She just stood there originally."
As the group continued to watch they could see Katie and the others struggling to make a decision. The wait was much longer than Kat and Kel remembered, before either woman could say anything they watched as Lisa, Ann and Marilyn grew younger once again.
"Wait that never happened," Kat exclaimed. "We went thrkugh with the plan originally. Why did we wait thos time? And why are Lisa and the others still getting younger?"
The others shrugged as they saw a frantic 14 year old Lisa now examine a newspaper, confirming she was 14 once more. "Wow she looks pissed," Katie stated.
"I'll say," Kellie added. "Dont think she was expecting that."
"Kat look at your grandma," Kel pointed excitedly. Kat now closely examined her grandmother. The woman was definetly younger but their was something else.
"She's....smiling," Kat whispered. "And maybe I'm crazy but she looks a little younger than she should be. What gives?"
"In this timeline," Merlin said. "Katie and the others did not act with the same amount of conviction that you did. As a result the spell continued to affect Lisa and the others."
Shocked the group turned once more to the screen. Marilyn had seen what happened and was now pleading to let it continue. "Grandma wants it to keep going," Kat gasped. "What the hell? Why?"
Kellie and the others shrugged as they continued to watch the screen. They could see a 14 year old Lisa whole heartedly refuse the idea as she turned back towards the kitchen. As she did they once again saw Lisa grow younger. Lisa went from a young teen to a 12 year old girl in only moments. The preteen groaned in frustration as Marilyn smiled once more.
"It happened again," Kellie said in confusion. "Thats nuts. Did tbis happen the first time?"
"Not even close," Kel amswered. "By this time we were all still regressing into infants. This never happened."
"Look at your grandmother Kat," Katie said in awe. "Shes alot younger now. "
Kat stared at the picture of her grandmother. Marilyn appeared to be barely 30 years old at this point. A fact she was now discovering as the Katie in that world poimted it out.
"Grandma is starting to get real young now," Kat said, rubbing her chin. "Shes barely 30 at tbis point. If tbis keeps going her, Ann and Lisa are going to end up really young."
"Yes," Merlin stated. "A fact Katie is trying enlighten her to. Unfortunately Marilyn appears to be quite stubborn."
"So what should we do," Kellie asked. "Do we see where this goes or do we intervene?"
Kat, Katie, and Kel now looked at eachother as they pondered their next move.
