Once at Maureen's house the two women started searching for old clothes. In her own wardrobe Maureen recognised the black dress she had worn to Roger's mother's funeral. That was 4 years ago, the other advantage of that dress was it was during one of her successful dieting periods. She knew if she wore that dress she would immediately lose 5 kgs.
There were some other clothes she had not worn for some time, but couldn't for certain say whether that was more or less than 4 years.
She did have a stash of clothes in the spare bedroom so they headed there next. There she found the jackpot. Maureen loved shoes. She had many pairs and found she was reluctant to throw them out when Roger complained that her side of the wardrobe was overflowing. What she did was to collect some of the shoes she couldn't remember wearing lately and throw them into the bottom of cupboard in this room, and there they still were.
"So some of these could have been here for how long?" asked Liz
"I honestly don't know. Perhaps even 15 years. I can't even recognise some of them"
"Do you recognise any?"
"Well I wore these to Kirsty's deb ball" she pointed at some green heels. I don't remember wearing them since"
"That would make us the same age again. I like it"
"I'm sure some of the other shoes would make me even younger. And I remember not being happy with my weight at that ball"
"But that doesn't matter. We can fix that tomorrow morning with your new panties. I like the fact that we stay the same relative age"
"Okay I'll do it. I'm sure I wasn't quite as big as I currently am"
"What about your hairstyle? Didn't you have a perm just for that ball?"
"I did. But that won't be a problem. I'll just tell Roger I got a perm today. We are going to the theatre tonight, with Roger's sister Ginny and her hubby, so he won't think it's strange"
"Shall we do the changes then"
"Let's go to my bedroom so I can watch in the mirror"
They did. Liz told Maureen "You can go first. Here is the medallion" She had placed the medallion in a plastic bag to avoid mishaps.
Maureen extracted the medallion then careful not to touch it to anything else touched it to the green shoe. "I felt a zap" she smiled at her friend. They both watched Maureen change. She started looking younger. Her hair did not curl. The she looked younger still. "Somethings not right" said Liz after 10 minutes "You look too young"
It was another 5 minutes before Liz figured out what had happened. "Maureen, does Kirsty share your shoe size?"
"She does" Maureen was watching her reflection. "She must have worn those shoes. Oh fuck what a mess!"
"Language young lady" Liz giggled
"But what am I going to do? We have tickets to Hamilton tonight. We are being picked up at 7"
"It's 9.13 now so you won't be going as Maureen. Roger might have to take 'Kirsty' instead"
"Yeah but how old am I going to end up? When did Kirsty wear these shoes? I'm still getting younger. I could end up any age between 17 and 23"
"You will have to tell Roger now"
"Probably.....Actually no" Maureen had left the medallion on the bed beside the black dress she had taken out the wardrobe earlier. She picked up the dress as if to put it away, but as she passed Liz touched the dress and the medallion against her friends bare arm.
"Maureen! Why?" Liz realised what had just happened.
"You did a good job being me the other night. Now you can do an encore performance and we can keep this medallion our secret"
