"Say thank you to the nice lady." Debra said as she and Cindy stood before the counter, Debra going through her purse to pay for their session.
"Thank you very much ma'am. You made my hands and feet look amazing!" Cindy cheered enthusiastically. The woman, the same Debra had changed, couldn't help blushing demurely at the praise.
Debra had wondered how to get the woman back to her regular age, but the remote didn't seem to have a way to return people to how they were easily. There was something about memory, but it hadn't done anything, and she was pretty sure that wasn't what the device meant. Maybe she could come back some time. For now the woman seemed happy.
"You made me so proud with how well behaved you were Cindy." Debra complimented her daughter as they walked out after paying. It was refreshing to have Cindy using the manners she had been taught. Everything was exciting and fresh again for the little girl, and Debra loved having her back.
"Thank you mommy." Cindy smiled back at her mother. She looked around at to shops, and one caught her eye. "Wow, look how big that toy store is! Can we go look around mommy? Please? I promise I'll be good." Cindy pleaded.
"Alright sweetie, let's go take a look." Debra couldn't say no. Cindy was just too cute, and she hadn't wanted to do anything like this in years. These days she usually told Debra to wait wherever while she picked out her own clothes, and the only toy she cared about was her phone.
"You're the best!" Cindy hugged Debra's leg before running ahead to the store. Every moment that passed made Debra wonder if changing Cindy back was really necessary.
