The minutes passed and Nora continued to dance, until she decided to take a break and order a drink, she did not know why but she felt a little strange, yet everything was fine and she felt even more energized than before.
It was then that she grabbed her glass and was surprised by the appearance of her hand, after a short while there was no doubt, her hands looked even softer than before, she had to remember something but didn't know what.
"Oh yes fuck! The stopwatch!" Nora exclaimed so loudly that the bartender wondered what was wrong with her all of a sudden.
She looked in a first pocket for the stopwatch, it was not there.
"Shit shit shit" Nora growled. But with a huge relief she found it in the other pocket, and even without looking at it with her own eyes she pressed the stop button.
She begged the heavens not to have become a teenager again, so she looked at what it said:
"25 years and 4 months" Nora had a flash of relief, until she realized what it was like to be 25 years old. It was certain that she didn't want to become so young, finding a real job at 25 would obviously be more complicated than at 30, and people might take her less seriously which she particularly didn't like. She now looked at her appearance, she could see on the reflection of a mirror that her face looked thinner and her figure slimmer, besides her suit that tightened her before looked a bit loose and she had to tighten a blow of her belt. Her hair looked even more radiant though, which was not a bad thing, and her breasts looked perkier. Her makeup made her look even better. "Well it's not as bad as I was actually expecting, maybe it's even better than early thirties" thought Nora.
"Nora is that you?" came a voice from behind Nora, which she recognized, it was Lara's, the woman she had befriended earlier.
Nora turned around, "Yes it's me, can I buy you a drink?"
"Of course with pleasure!" Said Lara.
"Now that I see you closer, it's true that you look beautiful! I like very much this style a little wide of your suit, I must confess that I find it much more comfortable than when it is too tight"
"Yeah me too, and it's more practical for dancing"
"Haha indeed, and it's more practical than a dress, I shouldn't have taken one tonight especially since it cost a fortune"
Nora was happy to have someone to talk to, but now she felt younger, she was starting to have different desires than at 30, she liked Lara a lot but thought she would be bored with someone much older than her now.
So she had an idea, she thought it was crazy but after all she was a young girl now and had to take risks, so she wondered if she could present her stopwatch to Lara, thene she could have a friend who shared her new desires, she could also make her use it indirectly without revealing the ability of the stopwatch which would be safer.
It was a little late and Nora could just as easily leave and forget about her older friend, so she decided to...
