... it was no longer a construction sight, but a daycare instead! Emily was shocked to see that her father's site was gone. He had been working on it for quite some time, but it was nowhere near complete. On top of that, this was a one story building, whereas her dad was building a ten story building. What was even stranger, was that there was no sign of the place being new, as there were vines growing on it and in multiple classrooms small children could be seen going about their day.
Rick, being confused himself, decided to pull over so that him and Emily could chat.
"So, did we make a wrong turn?" He asked awkwardly.
"No!" Emily exclaimed. "This is where it's supposed to be.... I don't get it."
They both climbed out of the car, and walked until they were standing in front of the main entrance. As Emily looked around for her father, Rick noticed something out of the corner of his eye on the ground.
"Uh, Emily." He said, as he picked up a photo. "I think I know what happened."
Emily looked over, and saw what Rick found. It was a photo of the front entrance of the school, with tons of mothers talking and small children being ushered into the building. At the top corner of the photo, there was a tiny edge of a little thumb that had barely made it into frame.
"Oh. My. God." Emily gawked. "So, my Dad took a picture of the construction sight, and accidentally changed himself and all of his coworkers into people here!?" She gasped.
"I guess so." Rick thought as he stared at the photo. HE looked up to ask Emily what they should do but before he said anything his jaw dropped. "Umm, Emily?" He asked concerned.
"What?" She asked, before a bit of curly dark hair blocked her eyes. She glanced down at her hands to see that they were now much darker than before. She quickly reached into her pocket for her phone. Upon opening the camera, she found that she looked nothing like her original self. She looked a bit like female Rick, but she looked like she had a new father.
"Oh my God." She gasped. "I'm pretty gorgeous actually."
"Are you half black now?" Rick wondered as he stared at her hair. "I guess that means you have a new dad?"
"And it means that my real Dad is a toddler." Emily groaned as she reasoned it out. "Or a woman."
"Mrs. Jones?" A voice rang out behind them.
They turned to see an older woman walking towards them. Although she looked a little different, Emily recognized her as one of her Dad's work buddies Mike. He still looked somewhat the same, except if he was a woman. His crew cut blonde hair was now a nice wavy dirty blonde hairdo, his breasts were perky, and his figure was a woman wasn't half bad either. He was wearing a colorful dress with a sweater that made her out to be stereotypical school teacher.
"Mrs. Jones is everything alright?" She asked. "I spotted you out the window. Do you need something?"
"Oh, uh..." Rick stuttered. "I was here... to look for something. Yeah, see, did my child bring anything with him to school today?" He asked, hoping his guess was right and that Paul was now his kid.
"Yes, an old looking camera." She replied. "Oh dear! I hope that wasn't an actual relic was it? I thought it was a toy."
"No it's a very important family heirloom." Rick lied. "We need it back immediately if you don't mind."
"Oh not at all! Right this way!" She replied happily.
"Quick thinking Rick." Emily whispered as the two followed her inside. "Once we get in there, I say we fix you and Mom first. We can worry about Dad and this place later."
"I agree about who, but not where." He whispered back. "I don't think we can just start taking pictures randomly. Who knows, we could both get stuck in preschool and lose the camera."
"But if we don't use it now then we could lose it at any time. You saw what happened when we left it alone for even a sec-"
"Ahem. Excuse me ladies, but we're here." The teacher interrupted.
Both Rick and Emily blushed a little like two kids who were caught breaking the rules.
"Sorry Michaela" Rick replied, unsure of how he knew her name.
"Mmhmm." She replied before opening the door.
Both Rick and Emily braced for what they were about to see.
