"Can... I also hold onto it?" Jason asked, worried for what she may change without his knowledge.
"Like I said hon, you got a ton of changes, so now it's my turn." She laughed, generating a sentence.
It read: "Shoppers are looking though this store which focuses on clothing."
"Now here we go..." She laughed, as she changed 'clothing' to read 'toys' instead. "... that sounds more family friendly and less city-folk to me." She thought, completing the change with the confirmation button.
Inside, she found herself gawking at the changes that had unfolded. For one, the store no longer looked like a generic clothes store with mannequins on display in dresses and calm rows of hanging clothes. Rather, it was more vibrant, with much more stacked shelves lined with toys of all shapes and sizes from race cars to dolls.
Where the 20 year old couple stood was now a teenaged girl next to a much younger girl. The little girl was hispanic, clearly shown by her caramel skin and curly black hair tied up into a ponytail with a pink scrunchie. She was probably around 8 to 10. She wore a t-shirt with some Disney princess on it and bright blue jeans made for little kids.
She held up what looked to be a doll excitedly up at a teenaged girl who did not look amused. She looked to be South East Asian, with straight, jet black hair that went past her exposed shoulders thanks to her crop top. She had a lot of makeup on, wore tattered jeans, and was barely paying attention to the girl, browsing her phone in disinterest.
Nearby was now only two people, but one was very clearly pregnant. There was a thick, pregnant woman wearing a maternity dress with a present baby bump. She had red straightened hair that curled and grayed a bit near the tips, long nails, makeup and flats to help with her larger figure. She was smiling, but was clearly having trouble with a little boy which she was now holding onto. The little redhead, dressed in a batman t-shirt and dark shorts, was practically pulling his mother towards superhero action figures, dying to get some new toys.
At the smaller register, there was now only one employee. She was a middle-aged woman, probably nearing her mid 40s. She had short blonde hair cut into a bob, large breasts, and a rather plump rear end. She wore the red uniform with a smile, waiting patiently for the customers to come checkout. Judging by the fancy lettering around her name tag, she seemed to be the manager. On display beside her was also some new doll of some sort. It had long, black plastic hair, wore a blue dress, and had a permanent smile on in its box.
"Hmm, well, there's a shocker." Mandy whispered. "Can't believe only one person became a toy in that there change." She giggled quietly.
Unfortunately, Jason had heard what she had said, and his jaw dropped.
"Wait, someone's a toy now?" He quietly gasped, trying not to yell. "M-Mandy, if it wasn't a toy store you gotta turn it back to whatever it was!" He nearly begged.
From his perspective, everything seemed normal. The same babysitter was there with the kid she was watching, the same mother and son were walking along, and the same manager he always saw was working the register today. But of course, he knew this must've been reality changing, messing with his memories. He tried his best to maintain his composure, but was freaking out now that the app wasn't in his control.
"Wha- damn, you heard that honey?" Mandy sighed. "Well that's no fair! You got to change a place without me knowin' so I was just tryin' to even the game. Now I get another go!" She laughed. "And don't worry, I'll fix ya back if you change too much, ya know?" She added. "Probably."
"Wait, what do you mea-" Jason fearfully asked before he felt a fierce shove from behind. Before he knew it, Mandy's newfound strength sent him forward, as he ran alongside the momentum in an effort to not fall flat on his face. By the time he had regained his footing, he realized that Mandy had pushed him into the store adjacent to the toy store; the video game store.
His eyes shot wide and he turned to see three guys staring at him. They all looked like middle schoolers, and were staring at his odd behavior. There was a brunette kid with glasses and a sweatshirt, covering his chubby physique. Beside him was a skinny black haired kid, who had a slight amount of tan but more pimples, wearing a generic t-shirt and jeans. Finally, there was the kid closest to him, some snot faced Asian kid who was staring him down with an eyebrow raised.
Jason looked up to see who else was in this store. There was a teenaged worker, standing behind the counter with a deadpan stare, barely peaking through his long blonde hair, and most unfortunately the mother from before, holding her pregnant stomach as her son browsed through some Nintendo games.
Jason swung his head back around, only to see Mandy smirking, holding her finger up in the air dramatically over the phone screen.
"Okay Jason, you and everyone in this shop are about to transform... you won't be aware, and that's fine. Just talk with Mandy, explain everything, and everything will be fine." He thought, trying to reassure himself.
"Hey man, are yo-" The closest kid began to ask before Mandy hit confirm, and reality changed once more.
