Carrie released him from her hug and stood up.
"Well, then," she said. "I think it's about time that you and I got dressed and left. But first..."
She programed the remote and aimed it at herself. Her body started to grow shorter. In seconds, she had gone from a 6'6" giant to a still very tall 6' even. All of her other features remained the same, which left her with comparatively larger breasts and butt. She examined her gorgeously curvy naked body and smiled.
"There," she said. "I like being taller, but I would rather not be a freak."
She looked down at little Todd. He reflexively cringed.
"Don't worry, little guy," she said and aimed the remote at him. When she pressed the button, Todd tensed himself for another change, but he was surprised to feel nothing. He looked down at himself to see that he was still 5 years old. Then, he noticed his clothes on the floor. They were shrinking. Soon, his clothes had shrunk until they were all sized to fit a preschooler. Nothing else about them had changed, though. He now had little gym shoes and little jeans just the right size to fit him. He marveled that his underwear were still boxers, only child-sized.
"Get dressed," said Carrie. "We're leaving in a couple of minutes."
Not wanting to anger her, Todd did as she said. As he put his little boy clothes on, he noticed that she was transforming her own clothes to fit her. She slipped into her expanded bra and panties and then the rest of her clothes.
Soon they were both dressed. To anyone looking at them, they would appear to be a tall college girl and her preschooler younger brother.
"Okay," Carrie said. "Time to get time moving again."
She activated the remote and sound came back to the library. People started moving again all over.
Carrie picked up her bag, slipped the remote into it then hung it from her shoulder.
"Give me your hand," she said to Todd.
"Why?" he asked. He was surprised at how whiny his little voice had sounded just then. Sure, this was humiliating enough without holding her hand, but he thought he could have refused her in a more mature way. He wondered if had had actually started to behave like a child.
"Because I say so," she said and smiled at how motherly she had just sounded. "I can't have you running off, now can I?"
Todd folded his arms, frowned and stared at her, looking just like a pouting child. But, when Carrie reached for her bag to get the remote, Todd stopped pouting and said, "Wait, wait. Okay. I'll hold your hand."
Hearing him say that, she let her bag hang again. Sighing, Todd reached out his small hand, and she took it in her comparatively giant hand. Together they walked to the exit. Todd had to hustle as his little legs had a hard time keeping up with her large strides. On their way out, the two of them passed by one girl who smiled at him.
"Hey there," she said. "You helping your sister with her research?"
"Um, yeah," he stammered. Todd was surprised at how nervous he felt talking to this college girl. She just seemed so huge compared to him. It was a bit unnerving, like he had been suddenly dropped into a world of giants.
"Come on, Todd, we have to get going," Carrie said and then, addressing the other girl, said "Excuse us."
They walked out the door and headed for the parking lot. Carrie stopped at one car and took out some keys. She opened the door to the back seat.
"Hop in," she said. "No sitting up front for you for a few more years."
Not wanting to argue, Todd got in the back seat. It seemed so huge to him now, almost as big as a bed to his eyes.
Carrie got in the driver's seat and said, "Seatbelts. We wouldn't want to get pulled over now would we?"
They both buckled up and she started the car. Then she paused a moment, apparently in deep thought.
"Where do we go now?" she asked. The question was directed to herself as much as to Todd. "Where do we go now?"
