Maddie enjoyed the sensation of being eighteen again. She had been worried about being a child and having to grow up again the old fashioned way. Knowing she could make herself any age she wanted was a relief.
But she didn't miss the look on Valerie's face when she saw Maddie change ages.
"Valerie, do you want to be young again?" Maddie kept the mischievous look off her face. "It would only be for tonight until the boys get home."
Valerie looked rather conflicted. She thought about it for a moment but then smiled. "Oh why not?"
Maddie focused on her former babysitter and let the Ring do its work. The fifties disappeared from Valerie as grey started to disappear from her hair.
Valerie started to look around for a mirror and kept one hand on her waistband when she felt her pants loosen from a bit of weight loss. She found one just as she lost her forties. She looked in the mirror in amazment and glanced down as she continued to become younger.
"Why didn't you change my clothes?" Valerie asked and coughed the age worn voice was quickly being changed into a younger woman's voice.
"I don't want to try to do so while you are getting younger. I'll change them to something age appropriate later." Maddie carefully kept the smile from her face. It was also amusing in a few ways.
Valerie saw the beauty of her face as the African-American woman entered her twenties. Years continued to drop from her and she had to ask the most important question. "How young am I going to get?"
"Only nine years younger than me."
Valerie stopped running her hands over her body as she figured out the casual statement Maddie just said. The college age beauty turned to her friend and put her hands on her hips. "Maddie, just how young am I going to get?"
"Well I'm eighteen." Maddie smirked. "And so are you . ."
The high school senior briefly looked at her friend before feeling her shoes slide slightly. In the time Valerie adjusted her shoes, Maddie was looking down slightly at her.
In the surprise, Valerie lost her grip on her pants and they slipped down her now slender legs. The sixteen year old quickly grabbed them and pulled them back up.
Valerie glared at Maddie which had lost most of its potency from being in her mid-teens.
"You couldn't give me some more warning?" Valerie grumbled as she continued to lose height and age. Her adult body and large bust was a distant memory for the young teen.
She felt her shrinking bust almost desperately as they flattened into nothingness. In a few more moments, she had lost all of puberty. The glare she gave Maddie had lost what little potency it had when she was a teen and had been reduced to cute.
