Bill's experience of having his wife's voice didn't last much longer. Within five minutes it was obvious who was changing and who they were changing into. Bill was changing from his wife's body to be another replica of Maddy. Ian was changing from a 4 year old girl to Jill's body. He was becoming a very attractive 20 something year old woman.
The only good outcome was that Maddy didn't appear to be changing. She remained herself. What no-one had seen was that she had touched the medallion to the pink dress (belonging to Maddy and worn by Jill to dinner last night) when she had first retrieved the medallion and had consequently changed into another version of herself.
Anyway the family now had a problem. Bill as she was changing had put the medallion back into the safe. The family had moved to the lounge and were discussing the situation. Ian had found herself wearing the pink satin nightgown Bill had slept in. Bill didn't need it anymore and Ian had covered up Jill's body with the first item of clothing that had been handed to her. It had been very awkward growing breasts and curves in front of everybody.
"Well the way I see it, our only choice is that I become Bill" said the real Jill. She was still a replica of 4 year old Maddy. "I'm the only person who can change. Neither of you will be able to change for another 12 hours. So you are going to be like that for the wedding"
"And I will miss my sisters wedding" lamented Bill. She was wearing the yellow dress Ian had worn yesterday. For the next 12 hours she was going to have to be Isabelle, also a 4 year old girl.
"And I'm sorry Ian but you are going to have to be me. And attend the wedding as Jill" The real Jill told Ian. It seemed strange for this apparent 4 year old girl to be speaking like an adult. "That means getting your hair and make-up done"
"I don't suppose there are any other options?" asked Ian.
"Not that I can think of. I'm sorry, its my fault I shouldn't have left the safe open. If you do this for us Ian we will be forever grateful"
"It's not your fault Jill. I was the person who found that medallion and got your family involved. I honestly didn't know. I'm sorry I caused you all to get messed up like this. I'll do whatever I need to to help you out"
"Thanks Ian. I guess you are part of the family now"
"Well for today anyway" Ian tried to make light of the situation.
"Unless someone can think of alternative I'll get my change over and done with. It will be nice to be an adult again" said little girl Jill
"Go ahead" said Bill, now Isabelle. "The sooner you do it the sooner this will all be over and done with. Essentially our 12 hours doesn't start until you change"
"Um Ian, I know this might be a bit awkward. but while I'm changing you will need to have a shower and get dressed. We will have to go down to breakfast" said Jill. "I'll lay out the clothes for you to wear on the bed while you wash. You will need to wash my hair. Use the shampoo and conditioner in the vanity case"
With that little girl Jill returned to the bedroom where the medallion was still in the safe.
