"Me! Please!" Rick quickly jumped on the possibility, stepping forward as he said so. "I am sick of this." He said grabbing his chest.
"Young man, hands off." Olivia scolded. "That is highly inappropriate!"
"Sorry Mrs. Smith but I just wanna be me again." Rick sighed.
"We all do Rick." Emily said softly. "But remember, there's no guarantee you'll be you again."
"I know that, but I have to try eventually right?" He said with a slight chuckle. "Plus, I am done with being some middle aged white woman.... er, no offense Mrs. Smith." He chuckled, while Olivia just stared at him with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.
"Just hurry up." Paul added with an annoyed scoff. He was pissed because he was about to ask to change again, but Rick had beat him to it. "We all want this done with."
"Ok Rick, brace yourself." Emily said sternly. She backed off from him slightly and raised the camera.
Rick's desire to turn back was suddenly overshadowed by fear. He knew just how random the changes could be, so who knew what he was about to become? All he could do was hope for the best and pray that he didn't get something like a brick or a horse or something. He shut his eyes just in time as the camera went off.
FLASH
Rick reopened his eyes and knew he had gotten a shit change. He had previously been looking down at Emily, but was now eye level with her knees. He was about to walk over and rush for the hand mirror when, after the first step, his leg wobbled. He found himself falling to the floor with his but hitting the hardwood. He could hear Paul laughing behind him as Emily and Olivia squatted down with enjoyment on their faces.
"O. M. G. Rick, you're SO CUTE!" Emily squealed, which sounded a little odd coming from a 14 year old boy's body.
"Well, sorry kid, looks like you got some karma." Olivia snickered. She pulled the hand mirror from behind her and faced it towards Rick.
Rick felt like he was going to die from sheer embarrassment alone. What stared back at him was a little Asian baby girl, no older than around 6 months. She had straight, jet black hair tied in two little bun on each side of her head, with pink bows to tie it off. She was wearing an oversized fluffy pink dress, and underneath was a clearly visible princess themed diaper. She had a chubby, adorable face, and Rick wanted to barf that that was him.
"bwa ba.... wa- wa bawa, glaba wa!" Rick tried to complain, yet found only babble coming out.
"Oh dear, looks like someone can't speak yet." Olivia sighed.
"Hear... let, let me do it." Paul chimed in while still trying to stop laughing.
Rick felt two giant hands rap around his side, and in an instant he rocketed upwards. He couldn't believe just how big everything looked now! It felt like he was in a land of giants. He felt himself be turned around, until he was face to face with the hot, 19 year old Asian bombshell that used to be Paul Smith.
"Well, aren't you just the cutest little baby! Yes you are! Who's getting what they deserve? You are!" Paul teased in the most condescending voice possible.
Rick wanted to snap back, or defend himself, or walk away, but he couldn't. He was a baby, at the mercy of everyone around him. His new emotions and frustrations finally reached him as he began to cry.
"Waaaa!" He screeched.
"Ow! Geez, you're not actually a baby kid, come down!" Paul sneered as he passed Rick off to Olivia.
Olivia took Paul and on instinct began to rock him.
"Quiet Paul!" She scolded. "These forms not only change reality but give us certain emotions and memories to go with our forms. He's probably overwhelmed and his infant emotions are getting the best of him. Shhhh, it's ok honey, it's ok." She tried to soothe, which to Rick's surprise made him feel better.
In fact, it made him feel very calm. Too calm. He could feel his weightlessness as he swayed from side to side. His mind wandered to all that had happened today, and his eyelids grew heavy. He realized what was happening, but for some reason he didn't care. A few moments later and his eyes shut as Rick drifted off to sleep.
"Oh my goodness." Olivia whispered. "He fell asleep."
"He fell asleep?" Emily whispered in astonishment. "Wow, I hope I don't get a baby next time I change. No talking, tired all the time, that seems like it sucks."
"Well, he got what was coming to him with how he was acting." Paul said slightly less quietly and more annoyed.
"Very adult of you Paul." Olivia half chuckled as she placed Rick into a cot that had appeared in the living room at the same time Rick had been transformed. "So, what should we do now? Do we try to change him while he sleeps? Is that even safe?" Olivia asked Emily.
"Well..." She wondered, trying to figure out what to do. After a moment of thought, she decided.
