Ann and Jackie worked on putting everything back the way it was. Though since reality was rewritten so Melinda and Garrett were only kids, the jewelry was already back where it belonged. Ann frowned at her jewels and said, "Those hoodlums had a point, you know."
"About what?" asked Jackie.
"About how easy it was to get in here to rob me," said Ann, "I ought to get a safe for my important things and get some better security for the apartment."
"I think Merlin would be able to get you a very special home security system," said Jackie, "Something that can keep magical threats away too."
"I bet," said Ann, "By the way, you did a great job with those scoundrels."
"I'll have to check on them again sometime," said Jackie, "I need to make sure they don't make the same mistakes again."
"True," said Ann, "The only shame is that you had to take away that sexy body Melinda had."
"Oh, so you thought she was sexy, did you?" asked Jackie, though her tone was more joking than accusing.
"Certainly more eye-catching than the skinny pothead that Garrett was," said Ann.
"Then maybe I should become a busty Latina for your personal pleasure," said Jackie.
Ann frowned slightly and said, "I don't think you can do that, at least not with that ring. That ring can make people older and younger, alter reality even. But I don't think it change a person's body or ethnicity unless they're given new parents."
"I suppose so," said Jackie, "I bet Merlin could provide something that can make those kinds of changes. But you know what I can do?"
Ann felt a familiar tingle through her body. The soreness she felt was evaporating as she felt new energy. "Making us young again?" asked Ann.
"Not all the way young," said Jackie as their bodies entered the 30's, "Just young enough to really enjoy it."
"Enjoy what?" asked Ann as her figure became fit and firm again.
"My last night before I go back to being a kid again," said Jackie as they settled at 25 years old.
"Oh, I almost forgot," said Ann, "Time goes by so quickly."
"So I want to make this night special," said Jackie, "Like on our wedding night."
Ann smiled seductively and said, "I think I can arrange that."
==========
Jackie moaned as Ann kissed and licked her most sensitive sports. Ann was memorizing Jackie's naked body with her lips and tongue, savoring the flavor of her wife's curvaceous form. It would be a decade before she could enjoy Jackie's body like this. Well, not quite. The two of them will probably be finding any opportunity they could to do this again. But Ann couldn't wait for the day where they wouldn't need excuses or magic rings. The two of them were made for each other, even they were originally born a generation apart.
Jackie moaned loudly as she climaxed again. Ann licked her lips before looking up her lover. Jackie was so hot when she was covered in a sheen of sweat. "Ready for one more round?" asked Ann.
"I would agree, but we really need to stop," said Jackie, "My parents will be expecting me back soon."
"They're only your brother and sister-in-law right now," said Ann.
"Aren't you the one who said I shouldn't skip over my teenage years?" asked Jackie, "The best years of my life?"
Jackie sighed and said, "I did say that, didn't I? What can I say? Sex with you is really addictive."
"There will be other times," said Jackie, "But right now I need to get showered and dressed."
"Yeah, I better get dressed too," said Ann. While Jackie went to the bathroom, Ann got herself dressed. She looked at the mirror, smiling at the 25-year-old woman looking back at her. She almost wished she could stay this way, but her age relation with her family would change. She'll have to wait until Jackie was 25 for real.
Ann looked at their wedding photo, of the two beautiful brides in their wedding dresses. She could still remember that day clearly, even if it hadn't really happened. She felt a hand on her shoulder and Jackie said, "We'll have that day eventually, Angel."
Ann turned to smile at Jackie. "It will be the best day of my life," said Ann.
"Our lives," said Jackie before kissing Ann one last time, "But now we have to go back to how it's supposed to be."
Ann sighed and nodded. Rubbing the ring on her finger, she wished for things to be back to how they originally were. Quite soon, Jackie started shrinking, her womanly curves deflating as she reentered puberty. Simultaneously, Ann could feel the years passing by, making her body feel more tired and worn. Everything from their shared life was disappearing, Jackie's clothes in the closet vanishing while the photos of them growing up together changed. The memories of their alternate childhood became fainter as the proper timeline took its place. The only things they could remember clearly were what they had done that weekend.
15-year-old Jackie looked up at 42-year-old Ann and said, "I guess I should go back to my house now."
"I'll drive you there," said Ann, adding in a teasing voice, "You don't have a license yet."
"That license can't come soon enough," said Jackie as they walked out of the bedroom.
"No it can't," said Ann, absently thinking of their marriage license.
