Elizabeth and a reluctant Thomas eventually agreed and accepted the strange liquid from the woman. They held their noses and drink their halves. The "potion" was surprisingly sweet and didn't seem to have any noticeable effects.
"Okay now give ush real clothesh," says Thomas.
"Like I said you'll find those clothes will fit you fine now."
A frustrated Thomas grabs an outfit at random and steps outside. While Elizabeth takes a closer look at the options. She doesn't know why she's bothering when it's obvious the woman is just messing with them, but nevertheless she considers her "choices" as if they actually matter.
Most of the older girl's clothes are frilly and thin, so she looks to the smaller outfits. She finds the warmest looking one and pulls it out; as with all the other girl's options it's a dress but it's at least long sleeve and made of a knit, sweater material though it's absolutely tiny, which explains the matching diaper cover.
Whatever, she thinks. Deciding she'd rather have the woman see her try to squeeze the outfit over her naked body than her brother, she removes the towel and begins trying to pull the dress over her head and arms. The material strains hard before slipping on, it doesn't even manage to cover her moderate size breasts let alone come close to actually fitting.
She opens her mouth to ask if the prank's over, but the woman simply indicates for her to try on the diaper cover. Groaning, Elizabeth works the article up her legs slowly and finds every time it seems to be stuck it slips up just a little more. By the time it's properly around her waist, she thankfully finds herself feeling completely sober.
With no difficulty, she slips on a pair of toddler light up boots. Further puzzling the dress now easily reaches well below her knees and a weird papery material seems to line the diaper cover which she hadn't noticed before.
She looks up to see the women's experession only to find she has to look way up to see it. The smiling woman crouches down to Elizabeth's diminished height and taps her on the nose.
"You really wanted to see if the potion worked, huh?"
"But me no weally liddler no powible," Elizabeth babbled only barely understanding her own garbled words. Before the woman responded, the door swung open and a familiar looking boy marched in.
Elizabeth is embarrassed to see her twin is now older than her, though not by much. Dressed in a long sleeve t-shirt and denim overalls, the Thomas looks to be ready for a day of kindergarten. His normally shaggy black haircut is even cut short and spiked with gel like he used to have their mom do when he was little.
Instinctively, Elizabeth ran her hands over her own hair to find it was done up in the messy buns she remembers from old pictures.
The oblivious Thomas announced, "Wow! These super stretchy clothes are crazy and your "potion" completely cleared my head! Sorry again about..."
He stops short as he spots Elizabeth and then gives himself a once over, mouth hanging open.
"Well it looks like you're both all dressed time to head back to your friends."
"But dey no member us liddle!" Insists Elizabeth.
"Oh don't worry you're little heads about that as far as everyone else is concerned you two are perfectly normal right now. That goes for any other forms you end up taking before the end of Halloween. But if you do want to get back to normal just stop by here and your clothes will be waiting." She then pulled out a small wand and tapped the two on their heads, "Bye bye."
The next thing they know, they're back in their friend Jason's backyard in a sandbox while the college students are several feet away much more sober than before."
"Really Jason you're too nice. We were supposed to be having a fun time before midterms, but you just had to say yes to emergency baby sitting," chided Gina.
"Are you really still on that? Mrs. Stanton broke her arm. Besides I like taking care of kids that's why am a.."
"Early Childhood Education Major," The rest chanted in unison before breaking out into laughter.
Elizabeth and Thomas turned their attention back to each other. Both clearly trying to figure out what to do.
