Stephanie sighed, adjusting her loose bra strap as she and Ann now searched the ground floor. The sound of the party behind her making the young teen anxious. From the sound of things the party appeared to have descended into a junior high lunch room. They were quickly running out of time. Or at least most of them were.
Ann looked like a recent college coed, a young face on a mature if not skinnier body. Ann looked close to 24 now, her face youthful yet mature while her body appeared thinner. Stephanie on the other hand looked like she belonged in eighth grade. Wide innocent eyes set on an innocent face with small B cup breasts. Adjusting her dress the girl grumbled as she stumbled in her slightly oversized heels. "Stupid heels, stupid dress, stupid magic."
Ann frowned slightly, noticing the aour look cross her friends face. "You doing okay Steph?"
"No," Stephanie exclaimed. "No Ann I'm far from okay. Look at me! I'm barely a teenager right now. How much longer before I'm asking when Santa's coming. Also why are you still an adult?"
"I think its because of my condition," Ann stated. "My age fluctuates all the time because of what happened with the ring. I'm sorry though about this."
Stephanie sighed, taking a deep breath as she now shrank down to 13. Groaning in frustration the raven haired girl wobbled in her heels before kicking them away. "Dumb old shoes." The now barefoot teen glanced upwards at her friend trying to compose herself.
"Its not your fault Ann," she sighed. "Sorry, its just...the younger I get the younger I feel. Its weird and I'm kinda acting out like some spoiled brat."
"Its okay Steph and your not a brat."
"Says you," Stephanie chuckled. "But seriously I'm getting a bit worried, plus this floor is freaking cold! Probably should've worn my boots instead."
Ann now tried to stifle a laugh as the young teen hopped in place. "I think your still a little too old for me to carry Steph," the 23 year old replied.
"For now," Stephanie added. "But your not far behind. You look like a college kid right now. How long before you join the rest of us in preschool?"
"I don't know," Ann shrugged. "Which is why we need to keep looking."
"Because you don't want to babysit," Stephanie smirked.
"Yeah that too," Ann said. "Now cmon before you get even younger."
As the two now began to search side rooms, Stephanie continually paused as she listened to the other girls at the party. It certainly sounded like they were having fun. Christmas music as well as Pop songs seemed to echo through the building, making the search for seem less and less important for the 13 year old.
"Any luck Steph?"
"No nothing," Stephanie replied as she now closed a closet door. "Lynne is real good at hide and seek huh."
Ann nodded as she now closed the door to the office. Glancing at Stephanie she could see the girl longingly looking towards where the party was going on. "You doing okay Steph you seem distracted."
"I'll be okay," she said. "But its getting really hard to not want to go out there."
"True but we need to find Lynne."
"Well wouldn't she turn up eventually," Stephanie asked. "I mean if I were in her shoes I would want to be out there enjoying myself."
Ann paused, maybe Stephanie was onto something. "You might have just figured this out Steph."
"Welk I was pretty smart in eighth grade," Stephanie grinned before shrinking down to 12. The hem of the girls dress inching past her knees as her curves evaporated even more. "Well more like seventh grade now," she whispered.
Ann now took the young girls hand, Stephanie following obediently as the two scanned the main hallway. "Still don't see her how about you Stephanie?"
Ann now glanced towards Stephanie, watching as the girl became 11 once more. Puberty had now almost completely abandoned the girl. Two small bumps on her chest were the only thing that remained of the beautiful executive. The young girl now turned her wide innocent eyes upward as she gazed at Ann.
"Ann can I go to the party," she asked, her voice childish. "Pretty please? I know my mom and dad said you were in charge and to not runoff but it looks like so much fun!"
"Um Stephanie what are you talking about," Ann asked, curious as to what Stephanie was thinking. "What do you mean I'm in charge?"
"Well your my babysitter duh," she replied. "My parents have you watching me this weekend while they're away on business. Now can I please go to the party. Please? I promise I'll be good."
"Um sure Stephanie go ahead," thev21 year old replied. Stephanie squealed for joy, hugging Ann tightly as she now raced away to join the other elementary students. Ann now watched as Stephanie happily began talking and singing with the others, seemingly forgetting about their search for Lynne.
"I have to find Lynne now," Ann thought nervously. "Before I forget about her and join the others."
