Gloria whimpered as she gazed at the tiny kindergartner in an oversized robe. Five years old. She had become five years old once again. Glancing at the Chronovac she could see the program was cooling down, it would take a few moments before she could fix this.
Sighing in annoyance, Gloria hopped out of her chair, astonished she had to hop out of the chair to get down. Gathering the huge robe around her, Gloria felt as if she was draped in a blanket as she gazed at her humongous bedroom.
"Gloria are you here?"
Gloria's eyes went wide as she heard the voice. Millie, her best friend had arrived. Gloria hadn't been expecting the 75 year old woman to arrive until later. This test run of the Chronovac was to ensure it would work. Gloria had planned to show her friend and possibly have the two use it together. Now though she would be lucky if Millie didnt think she was some lost child.
Gloria looked to quickly lock the door, only for Millie to open it. Once more Gloria now instinctively stuck her thumb in her mouth as she stared at the woman.
"Hello sweety," Millie smiled. "What are you doing here? Is Gloria looking after you?"
Gloria simply shook her head no as she silently looked at the woman. "What's your name sweety," Millie asked.
"Growia," Gloria lisped, wincing at the childish mispronunciation of her own name.
"Gloria," Millie smiled. "What a pretty name. Is Gloria watching you today?"
"Willie," Gloria lisped. "It's me Growia. I turned into a kid."
"Such an imagination," Mille chuckled.
"It true," Gloria exclaimed. "Look at da Conovac. Just look."
Millie patted the young girl on the head, approaching the Chronovac. As the elderly woman gazed at the device she simply smiled. "Is this what your talking about sweety," she asked.
Gloria nodded but quickly gasped as she saw the screen of the Chronovac. The program had cooled down and was now ready once more. Gloria could see a faint beam wash over Millie before a sentence appeared.
Subject scanned: Initiating regression sequence.
Gloria could only stare in wide eyed horror as Millies age began to tick down, much like hers had only moments before.
75...74...73...
Millie was completely oblivious to the changes taking place as Gloria's lip began to quiver. The girl was now scared, just how young was Millie going to become?
