"...Pre-Schooler."
Leah immediately felt ten times more queasy than before and rushed away. The last thing she saw before stepping through the doorway back into the house was Alice's self-satisfied expression. Rushing up the stairs towards the bathroom, Leah felt incredibly disoriented. Every stair seemed to be steeper than the last and each time she set her foot down it seemed less steady than before.
After finally reaching the top, Leah became acutely aware that a transformation had actually occurred when she realized the doorknob for the bathroom was about even with the top of her head. Reaching up to grasp the knob, she found her arm movements were made awkward by the presence of floaties shoved all the way up into her armpits.
Once inside Leah locked the door behind her then let herself collapse to the ground. Laying on the cool tile, Leah took deep breathes until she felt "normal" then pulled herself up to a sitting position, which made it clear not only that she was wearing a swim diaper but also that the swimsuit now seemed to be designed with that in mind. As the bottom wrapped around her waist the fabric grew noticeable longer to accommodate both the swim diaper and some sort of plastic covering.
Looking around the bathroom in shock, Leah regarded the formerly small room with amazement. Once she worked up the nerve, Leah awkwardly rose to her feet and made the now much longer walk over to the sink. There she had to make use of a step stool in order to look in the mirror.
"Unsurprisingly" the mirror showed the reflection of a very young, slightly disheveled child. It also revealed both the presence of swim goggles around her forehead and that her formerly long, straightened hair was now tied into a practical, and very childish, set of braids.
Testing out a smile, revealed a full set of slightly crooked, stained baby teeth instead of her perfect, professionally whitened adult teeth. The dimples on her checks remained, though they only seemed to make her appearance more innocent.
Leah gulped. She hadn't expected the suit to do anything at all, but reducing her to a half step above toddler status was definitely not her goal. Though the diaper around her waist made her wonder how big that half step was. She vaguely recalled Gina saying recently that even potty trained children under 4 are normally expected to wear them, but that wasn't exactly much reassurance.
Especially now that she considered the swimsuit was never promised to be able to restore age. Leah shivered at the thought of being stuck with this much "restored youth". Maybe she should take it off now before someone sees her and accidentally restores anymore of it. Then again wandering around in only a swim diaper was hardly going to convince anyone she wasn't just a child. She could maybe try to find other clothes first.
Of course she supposed she didn't really understand how the suit worked, taking it off could make her unable to get any of her years back, if she still could, or something equally terrible. Maybe she should try to get someone to say she looked older and see if anything happens. Which, at the very least, could definitely end any chance of her slipping out of the party to go home and try to learn more information if that person realized by all appearances she was a lost child that didn't belong at the party.
Though if she spent all her time trying to figure a way out of this, she'd never get a chance to go swimming which would make the whole situation especially pointless.
