Miss Luna smiled and suggested, “I could give you an experience like no other.”
The woman gestured to a small pink display box full of pacifiers by the register. She reached in and grasped a purple one between her thumb and two fingers.
“What kind of experience?” Amy inquired.
“You see, I have some special abilities. You could say I am quite... magical,” Miss Luna said, raising her index finger off of the pacifier.
As she did, the plastic mouth toy briefly levitated in the air. Amy gasped.
“Whoa! How did you do that?!” the girl asked in astonishment.
“Just a little bit of Miss Luna’s magic. This is only a tiny sample of what I am capable of,” Miss Luna said, “Sadly, people stopped believing in magic long ago, so they have to see me perform it to believe. It’s such a shame that I can only show it to the truly curious customers.”
Amy was amazed. This woman just revealed that not only was magic real, she could also perform it. The girl’s mind raced with what Miss Luna was capable of! But then, she remembered the experience Miss Luna mentioned.
“If I may ask… What was that experience you mentioned?” she started, making Miss Luna perk up.
“Well you see,” the woman explained, “I don’t just sell diapers at this shop. At the very back, you’ll find an array of pacifiers, plushies, baby toys, bottles, and onesies in all sizes. And that’s just a cursory list.”
Amy asked, “So you’re asking if I want to buy one of those? Because honestly, I’m interested in those onesies.”
“I’m glad you’ve taken interest,” Miss Luna said, “But that’s not what I was going to suggest.”
The girl slightly crooked her head to the side and said, “Then why did you tell me about that stuff?”
“I was going to ask you if you wanted to become one of those things,” the owner replied, “You can look at the back aisle, pick which item you want to become, and I’ll cast some transformation magic on you to turn you into it.”
She added, “You’ll then be placed in the backroom where another customer will use you during ‘baby time,’ and be turned back once they’ve left.”
Amy’s eyes were wide. This could just be the experience she was searching for.
“Let’s do it!” she exclaimed.
It didn’t even cross her mind that she didn’t know what “baby time” was.
“Splendid!” Miss Luna clapped and instructed, “Now follow me to the back aisle.”
The girl did just so, and gazed at all the possible merchandise she could become. Everything Miss Luna had described was there and more.
“So, any picks yet?” the woman asked.
