Emily found it! It had been a decent couple of minutes of panicked looking but Emily found it under the couch for some reason. The two girls sighed in relief. Emily wanted to focus on changing Rick back so she started to head upstairs when Marion stopped her.
"Hey I know you want to change your boyfriend back but I want to be normal too!" She said. It was funny hearing a little girl speak with authority but Emily refocused and agreed that she was being unfair to Marion.
"So Marion, now that we know about the camera and have experienced a change, can you say who you really should be?" Emily asked.
"No. With anyone else I can only say I'm a little girl. With you guys, all I can say is that I was an old woman. Neither are true but since you weren't there for the first change, you can't hear it." She said sadly.
"That's fine. We'll just keep trying till we get a shot to turn you ba-ice pick of your pretty hair right kiddo?" Emily found herself saying. Both quickly realized that Ben was back in earshot. They couldn't speak about the original reality with someone who doesn't know about the camera there.
"Wow! Taking pictures girls? Mind if I take one with you?" He asked. Emily wanted to tell him to piss off but it only came out as "Sure thing Mr. Murphy!"
Emily aimed the camera at a nervous Marion and a smiling Ben. She took the shot and watched the photo develop. Marion was now an adult man. She had short brown hair with nice pecs behind a new suit. Next to her, was a strawberry blond little girl with pigtails and a yellow dress.
"Tanks for the picture daddy!" The little girl Ben said as she or he ran off into another room. Emily was shocked, and a little turned on, by the muscular man before her.
"Finally!" Marion said. "I'm at least a dude again." Emily was shocked.
"Wait! You were a dude." She said bewildered.
"Yup, and I wish I can say more but that's about it for now." He said.
As Emily stood there shocked, Rick came down with his makeup on and in a lovely red dress. The trouble was, he was away when the change occurred, so how was his memory affected?
