"You sure you don't want to be a lady of the eighties?"Alan said with a mischievious grin.
"Oh sure, no problem," Kathy remarked sarcastically," I've always dreamed of being some guy's old lady."
"Okay,if you insist."
"Alan, please erase that. Can't you tell sarcasm when you hear it?"
Alan had already typed 88 into the unit, and as he went to erase it, accidentally activated the unit instead.
It took a second or two, but Kathy quickly realized that she had started heading in the other direction.
As her breasts enlarged and she passed out of her twenties and into her thirties,she grabbed a mirror to take a look.
"Is there some way to stop this Alan, or do we have to let it run it's course?"
"Let me see what I can do,"Alan said as he checked the unit trained on his associate.
He went to pick it up, but received a mild shock and backed away.
"It looks like we'll just have to allow this to run it's course, but look at the bright side," he told the now 48 year old Kathy, as grey hair after grey hair appeared, fine lines and wrinkles showed on her face, and her breasts sagged slightly.
"What bright side?" she asked in a somewhat more husky voice.
"How many eighty year old women do you know that get to hang out with some young stud on their arm?"
"Very funny honey,"she replied as she raced past 69, her hair mostly grey, a waddle at her neck, jowels along her jawline, hands that had begun to look more birdlike, a set of under eye bags showing and upper eyelids developing a droop,and a gentle stoop developing in her shoulders."
"Just remember,"she added in a more gravelly voice,"paybacks are a bitch. Please get me a seat now dearie,it's becoming difficult on me to stay standing."
"No problem grandma,"he said, as he wandered across the room and got a chair for her.
"And, no fair calling me grandma, unless I can make you a grandpa later."
As he turned back to bring her a chair, he noticed that her hair had now gone to a mix of half white and half grey. A second set of bags were under her eyes, and the skin on arms and legs hung more loosely.
"Here you go,"he said as he assisted her in sitting down,"does that make this a little easier?"
"Not easier, but more bearable at least," she said in a more shakey voice.
As the process finished,Kathy had only hints of grey in her now almost completely white hair.Her face appeared quite wrinkled, her hands shook slightly, but she still appeared in fairly good spirits as the beam faded.
"Hey Alan,"she croaked,"honey, does that there contraption help with any of them age related adjustments?"
"What do you mean?" he asked puzzled.
"Well, my vision's a little blurry, and I could use some a them adult diaper things since I don't have the control I once did, and I think I might be able to get around okay if I had a cane to lean on."
Alan pressed an adjustment button, and he saw a pair of half bifocals on a beaded chain show up on her face, and a wooden cane appeared in one hand.
"That's much better young man, and the Depends arrived at just the right time, since I think I just wet myself. By the way, am I mistaken,or are you older too?"
"Oh wow," said Alan as he looked at his 35 year old reflection in a nearby mirror,"it must have effected me as well when I entered the field to bring you your chair."
"Now, I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but I'd really like to be at least a little younger, even if it's just sixty five or so. I feel kinda shakey right now."
Alan looked at the remote, and sighed.
"It looks like since we made such a large jump with you, that we will have to wait a couple of hours before we can attempt any sort of change, and then we will, have to bring you back in small jumps of at most 15 years at a time, and that's pushing it."
"Can the unit be used on you though?" she asked with a grin.
What happens next?
Kathy uses the device on Alan, making him the same age, and they have sex.
Kathy's husband shows up, but doesn't recognize her.
Kathy ages Alan to 60, and they go out to a popular bar where their friends hang out.
The two of them go to a high school senior ball, and make it a real senior's ball.
