Fortunately for the girls they didn’t need to wait long as an adult couple now stepped onto the merry go round. The man, who looked around 50, had graying hair that was only beginning to recede, while the woman he was with looked around 28.
“What’s she doing with that guy,” Karen asked.
“Looks like one of those guys that recently divorced,” Lisa stated. “You know, marriage failed, having a mid life crisis, starts dating a younger woman to feel alive.” Studying the couple the girls quickly agreed with Lisa’s analyses. The man was dressed in clothing that were quite flashy and expensive while his much younger date looked like a model. Blond hair, big chest, amazing curves, and a flirty attitude the girls could see the man smiling from ear to ear as he and his girlfriend now sat down next to one another. “Wonder how she’ll feel when the ride is over and he’s in an old folks home,” Kumiko chuckled. As the ride started up the girls eyes went wide, the merry go round was moving backwards. “Wonder how he feel about babysitting,” Mary Elise grinned.
For the first few turns neither one seemed to change very much. After the fifth time around the girls could see visible changes in the two of them. The mans hair was looking less grey now, his natural brown hair becoming more prominent as they moved backwards. For the woman they could see her face become fresher as she raced backwards to 20. Absentmindedly she now began adjusting her top as she continued to laugh.
After ten full rotations the girls were astounded by what they saw. The man appeared 40 now, his brown hair full and thick while his face appeared smoother and more youthful. He no longer seemed as serious as before, the wight of the past few years wiped away leaving an older man who was content to be living his adult life, his girlfriend though was much different.
The blond woman, now teen, appeared to be every bit the high school senior now. Lean and fit the girls face was in that stage between adult and teen. She had lost a fair amount of curves by this point, giving her perky teenage breasts and a trim figure. Finally the girls hair and face radiated youth and energy as she gripped her boyfriends arm tightly, snuggling up next to him.
“Their relationship is going to get real weird in a minute,” Katie muttered.
Katie couldn’t have been more correct as the woman now raced backwards through high school. The blond teens body began to become skinnier, her face more innocent as she retreated from adulthood. The man now looked like any man in his 30s, full thick brown hair, a handsome face and a fit figure that was only growing more firm as he retreated through his 30s. His girlfriend though was becoming skinnier, younger, more childish with each passing rotation. The 18 year old, became a skinnier 17, that was soon an innocent looking 16 year old. The girls face looked innocent, her hair no longer as full while her breasts continued to shrink. As she went from freshman year to junior high the girls watched as she now began to shrink in size as well.
The woman was now reliving puberty in reverse as she sped backwards towards childhood. Each rotation of the merry go round robbed her of more of the assets of adulthood, leaving her more and more the child. By the time she became a gangly 12 year old girl she now cling to her former boyfriends arm tightly. The two now looked like father and daughter out for a day at the park,
The girls now watched as the woman began to shrink rather quickly as she retreated into childhood. The former knockout was growing smaller with each rotation. The 12 year old entering puberty became an 11 year old on the cusp of womanhood, who then shrank down to an adorable 10 year old child. She was now growing much smaller now, her formerly form fitting clothing sagging in her thin body as she brushed a stray hair out of her face.
“Geez how far are they going to go back,” Claudia stated as they saw the now 32 year old man and his 10 year old girlfriend. “Hope not too much farther,” Samantha stated. “Pretty sure he has no clue how to change a diaper.”
The ride now was beginning to slow as the woman now passed into her ninth year. The energetic child was chattering away to the 31 year old man sitting beside her. Neither one seemed to notice anything was wrong, despite the baggies of their clothes. After one more rotation the ride finally came to a stop leaving a precocious blond child of 8 with her 30 year old father. As the girl how left from the horse she ran out of her shoes, sprinting off the ride while laughing with joy.
“Cmon dad hurry up,” she called.
The man shook his head, chuckling softly as he now stood next to the young girl, unaware that only moments ago they had been dating, not father and daughter. “Sorry kiddo,” he laughed. “Dads not as young as he used to be. I’ll do best to keep up.”
“Thanks for taking me today dad,” she smiled. “I’m having so much fun. Think we can do this again sometime.”
“Don’t see why not,” he shrugged. “But first, let’s find something for you to wear. I could of sworn those fit you when we left the house today? No idea why they seem so big now.” As the daughter now began to skip towards a store, her doting father trailing behind, the girls turned towards eachother and smirked. “You think the changes will stick,” Katie asked.
“No idea but that was fun to watch,” Samantha grinned. The girls all agreed as they began to talk in earnest about what else they should do today.
