After everything Jennifer had gone through, (not to mention erasing 53 years from herself), she was finally rewarded with the part she so craved.
As the casting agent stated, Jennifer was a natural. Everyone who watched the girl immediately were awe inspired that a girl this young could act well beyond her years. If only they knew.
After filming the pilot both the network and the producers were thoroughly impressed. The show was green lighted for an entire season and given a prime airtime on the network. Jennifer's fortunes looked even brighter when the producers asked that her role be expanded upon. Now instead of a small part in a show that was generating a great deal of buzz; Jennifer was being considered a potential co star.
As with everything in life though Jennifer did find some drawbacks to her new youthful body.
The first drawback the 7 year old discovered was just how small she was. Standing at only 4'3" and weighing only 42 lbs, Jennifer now found her home to be gigantic. The loss of nearly a foot and a half in height meant she now was forced to push a chair around constantly to retrieve anything from the top shelves. While she was nimble enough now to climb up on counter tops, she felt embarrassed in climbing like "some kid."
Other things around her home made Jennifer realize just how young she had become. The hot showers she was so accustomed to had to stop as the girls skin was now far to sensitive. Jennifer discovered that when she tried to shower on the first night. A Yelp of pain and the girls skin turning bright red immediately told her that her young skin was super sensitive.
The sensitivity of her skin was a bit of an inconvenience for the girl. After walking across her carpet barefoot one night she almost collapsed in a giggle fit as the fibers tickled her feet. Slippers were now a must whenever she walked across the carpet.
Other minor inconveniences became apparent after Jennifer returned home. The former adults clothing were now far to large to fit the poor girl. Standing in the mirror the girl stifled a laugh as she realized she looked like the incredible shrinking woman. Although clothing was easy enough to get, Jennifer wasnt particularly thrilled with her options. Girlish dresses, brightly colored tshirts, and sturdy jeans now occupied Jennifer's closets. Even her shoes were now childish in nature, gone were the sexy heels she was so looking forward to wearing. Now brightly colored sneakers and Mary Jane's occupied her shoe closet.
While these inconveniences were minor, Jennifer realized she had a larger problem she would need to address down the road. No one realized she was actually an adult when she was working, they simply saw a very talented 7year old girl. As a result the producers wished to talk with Jennifer's parents about schooling at the studio. While it usually made sense to school a child considering the long hours of work, Jennifer had no desire to go back to elementary school. So far her efforts in fooling the producers had succeeded but she wondered just how long she could pull it off.
Finally Jennifer noticed that she herself was changing. It began when she saw the lead actor, a handsome man in his early 40s. At first Jennifer had been smitten by the handsome man, imagining herself being with him intimately. As the days wore on though Jennifer realized that the idea of kissing a boy or even wanting to date a boy was 'icky'. She found she was emotionally thinking like a little girl as time wore on. Jennifer even began sleeping with a night light on in her room as her childish fear of the dark slowly began to return.
While Jennifer still remembered being an adult, she was worried she was growing more childish by the day. The doctors had mentioned some side effects of the procedure and she hoped it was only temporary. Still she immediately made an appointment to see someone about this. For now though Jennifer was achieving her dreams, as she now climbed into bed, she closed her eyes anxiously awaiting tomorrow.
