"You're probably right, but she's not old enough to be left alone with Johnny,' Amy said. "Things are different than when I was a kid....my parents wouldn't think twice about leaving me home at her age."
Kim nodded, politely.
"I wonder what is taking him so long," Amy said. "Can you make sure the kids are doing their homework and I'll go find my wayward husband?"
"Sure, Mrs. Johnson," Kim said. Mr. Johnson was kind of cute, and definitely mature and stable. She wondered what it might be like to date someone like that. Mrs Johnson, on the other hand...was this successful sort...which really made Kim feel she should have studied harder in school.
She headed to check on Nichole, who was in the den watching TV. "Your mom said you need to do your homework," she told the 12 year old.
"I already did..." Nichole said.
"Then why did your Mom tell me to make sure you did it?"
"Mom is just worried about Johnny...I always get my homework done, and I..." she trailed off as the Chronovac started another adjustment. Nichole grew another half a foot, and her figure started to grow less lanky and awkward. A bra appeared under her shirt, and rapidly filled as her mind filled with additional years of education.
Kim's thoughts about making sure she followed Mrs. Johnson's instructions faded from her mind. Her green top turned into a green t-shirt as she began to lose more years, her shoes turning into a pair of sneakers. Her figure completely vanished as the effects of puberty completely reversed themselves.
