As the bell sounded dismissing the high school, Jeff now made his way towards the younger grades. While he had considered changing a few of his older teacher,(both male and female), he wanted to check on Cheyenne.
Reaching his destination, Jeff now glanced inside the kindergarten classroom. It appeared the children were now picking up their toys and getting themselves ready to leave. Jeff now noticed Cheyenne and Artie happily playing, the pair of five year olds giggling as they talked with one another. Obviously the changes Jeff had made were working out well, the duo exchanging shy glances at one another, both children appearing to be close friends who had a crush on one another.
What Jeff was about to do was risky. After transforming Cheyenne, he had decided to talk with her after a school day as a child. Mrs. Evans wasn't a bad teacher, Jeff recalled her actually being quite pleasant if perhaps somewhat of a disciplinarian. At the end of the day though she was unlike some of the others who had been given a second childhood. While Jeff hoped to mold the others into caring people over time, Cheyenne had been a pleasant enough woman.
Cheyenne had also been the only one to watch the Chronovac in progress before being giving a kindergarten mentality. The woman surprisingly responded well to being reduced to childhood. Jeff now wanted to know how her day went and if she wished to remain a child.
Quietly opening the door, Jeff now beckoned the kindergarten teacher over. Quickly coming up with a valid excuse to see Cheyenne, the teacher agreed. Cheyenne now skipped over, her blond ponytail bouncing as she beamed up at Jeff. "Cheyenne Jeff needs to talk to you for a moment."
"Okay," she smiled, taking Jeffs hand as the pair exited the room. Glancing around Jeff now darted into an empty classroom, Cheyenne hopping up into a chair as Jeff pulled out his cellphone. Quickly bringing up the Chronovac app, Jeff studied it carefully before finding what he was looking for.
Revert changes: Physical
Mentality
Reality Alterations
For now Jeff decided on mentality, pointing the Chronovac at Mrs. Evans before pressing the button. A soft blue beam of light washing over the girl. Cheyenne blinked for a moment, rubbing her eyes before looking at Jeff curiously. "Jeff?"
"How are you feeling Mrs. Evans," he asked. Cheyenne paused, looking herself over before gasping. "Oh my god I'm so small," Cheyenne glanced down at her small sneakers, stifling a giggle as she noticed her feet swaying unable to touch the ground. "My feet don't even touch the ground."
"How much do you remember," Jeff asked. "From before and after I used the Chronovac."
Cheyenne furrowed her brow, Jeff finding it somewhat comical. This little blonde girl appeared deep in thought, piecing together not only her adult memories but her day as a kindergarten student as well.
"I remember pretty much everything," she said. "You showed me that app. I remember slowly getting younger until I was five years old."
"And what about after? How was kindergarten?"
Cheyenne smirked, the girl hopping out of her chair as she walked towards Jeff. She was wide eyed as she approached, realizing she was barely up to the teens stomach. "I had a great time," she said happily. "Mrs. Daly is an excellent teacher and your brother Artie is such a sweetheart. I'm pretty sure he has a puppy dog crush on me."
Jeff chuckled, finding Mrs. Evans statements amusing. Cheyenne's sentence structure and vocabulary were very adult, however it seemed odd being spoken by a chipmunk voiced 5 year old. "Well I'm glad you had a good time."
"I did," Cheyenne smiled. "Thank you Jeff. Its not everyday you get to relive your childhood. Although it is a bit odd."
"How so?"
"You never realize just how big the world is," she stated. "Or just how small you are. Having my adult mind in a child's body, it gives you a new perspective on the world."
"Well," Jeff stated. "I am glad you enjoyed yourself. But I do need to ask you a question."
Cheyenne nodded, scooting back into her seat as she gave Jeff her undivided attention. Jeff now tried to hide a grin as he noticed the little girls legs swaying ever so slightly.
"I wanted to ask if you wanted to stay like this Mrs. Evans," he said. "Relive you life starting at five. Getting the opportunity to grow up again with Artie, with me babysitting the two of you of course."
"Interesting," Mrs. Evans replied, rubbing her chin.
"However if you want to return to your adult life I can do that as well," Jeff said. "And if you ever feel the need to relive your youth for a day I can help you out with that."
"I'm sensing there's a catch Mr. Davis."
"There is," Jeff sighed. "You see if you decide to stay as a child you're going to be mentally five years old. And if you decide to become an adult I need you to keep this secret."
"I see," Cheyenne said softly. The five year old rubbing her chin thoughtfully as she mulled over Jeffs proposal. "Jeff what happens to me if I'm five? Will I have my parents?"
"You tell me," Jeff shrugged. "When you were five all day did you have parents?"
Cheyenne paused, thinking over Jeffs questions. She had been so busy doing schoolwork and playing that she really hadn't thought about her parents. Thinking a bit deeper though she realized that when the school day ended she had a loving family to go home to. Two parents just like the ones she had grown up with the first time. Somehow the Chronovac had provided her with two parents to take care of her. "I did," she smiled. "Two great parents."
"I'm happy for you," Jeff grinned. "But, we really have to make a decision. I told your teacher that I needed to talk with you real quick because I was babysitting you after-school. She's expecting you back any minute."
Cheyenne nodded, weighing over her options as she now told Jeff of her decision.
