Nora couldn't believe her eyes. She knew she had lost a few more years, but she was all the way down to four! She could count her age on one hand, though she struggled to remember if four year olds were even supposed to know how to count.
As she climbed to her feet, the "borrowed" clothes easily slid off and fell the now short distance to the ground. Nora looked over the body that was revealed and struggled to accept it as hers. Preteen skinyness was replaced with toddler chubbyness, though she imagined that didn't translate to much actual weight.
It took her mind a while to process this new reality. Once it had, Nora realized that her main mission of retrieving clothes was still her main priority. Though none of Amy's would likely fit her...
Of course! Hadn't she seen some old boxes of clothes under the bed? No longer dealing with maneuvering the robe, Nora found herself easily moving underneath the bed and quickly returned to her hiding spot. Finding a box labeled "Amy Preschool" filled her with a moment of happiness before the reality of needing such a box set back in.
Pushing the box out proved difficult, both due to her reduced strength and the awkwardness her position. Nora hoped she wasn't making too much noise or that the family had already left, but was determined to complete her mission as soon as possible regardless. And eventually both she and the box were out.
Panting, she opened the box and found that it contained both clothes and various other possessions from Amy's younger years. Nora intended to focus on the clothes, but two items drew her attention. They were a stuffed rabbit and pink blankie that were extremely soft to the touch and made Nora suddenly feel safe.
After grabbing both and setting them next to the watch to take with her Nora returned to looking for clothes. She started by looking for underwear and found some white underwear, but she also saw a package of Disney Princess Pull Ups. Finding the latter much more appealing than the plain undies she opted to pull on one of those instead.
Nora then quickly assembled an outfit consisting of lime green leggings, a sky blue shirt, one rainbow striped and one polka dot sock, a pink tutu, and a yellow rain jacket. She completed the outfit by dumping out the backpack she had tripped over and filling it with extra clothes. The backpack is almost as big as she is, so she has to pull the straps as tight as possible so it won't drag on the ground.
Now ready to head home to try to figure out her situation, Nora slipped the watch into the raincoat and retrieved the rabbit and blankie. Turning to leave Nora...
