Against her better judgement, Laura began planning on how to crash the field trip. First she knew she would need new clothes and some privacy. Making her way to a popular teen clothing store she found the staff sufficiently occupied with the actual students. Unsure of what size she was about to be she grabbed a few options of various sizes and made her way into an the least visible changing room.
Once inside, she carefully pulled out the dice case. She only needed to roll one die for this one. She rolled it and held her breathe.
"Twenty one years you have walked this Earth, now this number is but eighteen, each roll of the dice shall restore more of what you have lost."
She breathed a sigh of relief as she felt herself slip back three more years. This was the best possible outcome. She quickly shifted through the clothes and settled on a pair of skinny jeans, some Converse shoes, and tank top depicting some band she had never heard of. There hadn't been any underwear in the store so she kept her old panties but had to ditch the ill fitting bra. With skills she long assumed she would never need again after turning 18 for the first time, she removed the security devices and tags from her new outfit and made her way from the store with no issue.
The now typical, at least in appearance, teenager waited until the groups began moving back towards the buses. Then stuck herself in the mass of high schoolers. The chaperones were doing a roll call but only seemed to be making sure no one was missing, not that anyone extra had joined them. On the bus she quickly found a seat, made sure the resucured dice container was safely in her pocket, and greeted her new seatmate.
"Hi I don't think we've met before I'm Laura."
The girl appeared to be the same age as Laura is now and wore similar clothes.
"Hey, I'm Dana! I can't believe we haven't I would have thought I would have known someone else at our school was a fan of that band!"
"Oh I just started this semester so that's probably why."
The girl then excitedly starting talking about her favourite songs and opinions on the different members. Laura was relieved her new friend seemed content to talk at her rather than ask any questions that would display her lack of knowledge. She settled in for what she imagined would be a very long trip.
