As the car pulled in behind us, Steven settled down as he recognized the car.
"It's okay you two,it's just Carolyn, but what is she doin here?"
The car pulled up to us, and Carolyn got out along with a woman in her early 60's.
"I knew that Steven wouldn't be able to make it the whole way, so I had my sister drive me here, so she could drive you two the rest of the way."
"Well, let's not waist any time then," Cindy responded as we jumped out of one vehicle and into another.
We were about in the other vehicle,when Cindy thought she left something in the other car. Running back to check on it she bumped into steven, and then into Carolyn, and then made a mad dash back to the car.
"Times a wastin young lady," said our driver who had passed back into her mid fifties,"we've got to get there asap so I can get back and take care of those toddlers you left behind.
"The lab is about ten blocks away, miss..."
"Call me Ellie,little lady, and the pleasures all mine. I'd kinda like my sister and her hubby back, as they're bout the only company this old broad's got out in my neck of the woods.
However,judging from the effect you had on those two, I figured maybe helping you could help me as well. Only, I'd appreciate if you didn't help me as much as you helped them."
"We're almost to the lab," Cindy replied,as Ellie hit her late forties," and then we'll be able to set everything straight."
"Well dear, you don't have to set it too straight. Shaving a few years off wouldn't hurt my feelings none."
We rounded another corner and went up two more blocks to the lab, coming to a skidding halt as I spotted it at the last second.
"Thanks Ellie," Cindy said to Ellie as we attempted to bolt from the car.
"Not so fast," Ellie said giving each of us a peck on the cheek," figured you two could use a kiss for luck, and I could use just a touch more youth."
As we headed into the small office building,I looked back to see a woman in her early thirties jump back in the car and drive off, still getting younger as she faded from sight.
Quickly we made it to the lab, only to find a note and a few vials left for us.
"Thought that I'd leave these unlabeled vials for you. Anything labeled I took with me and hid at my friends night club. Meet me there by midnight and I'll make the exchange."
"Well, that's just great!What are we going to do now?"I fumed.
"Relax, and drink this," Cindy answered, shoving a vial in my face.
The next instant we both slammed back the concoction, and found ourselves growing. Pealing off clothes that were tightening rapidly, we watched as both shot from toddlers, to kindergartners, and beyond. Only, my mind felt a bit funny, and I could tell that Cindy's did too as we both hit puberty.
"By the way," she added as I watched her breasts bloom before my eyes,"we'll have to hurry to the address my friend gave me. This substance will age us to about twenty one, but it will alter our mental ages as well, to about 16 or so."
"What about clothes?" I commented.
"There's some of my daughter's old clothes in my office."
"That's great for you, but what am I supposed to wear," I said, noticing my voice and body felt different.
"Uhhh, did I mention the other side effect?"
"Oh, great!" I muttered in a somewhat higher pitched voice, as my hips got softer and my chest also bloomed, rapidly filling out from an A cup to a B, then B to a large C.,"this means I'm going from a he to a she as well. Can this day get any freakin weirder?"
Grabbing my hand, she replied,"Let's not wait around to find out."
A short while later, we wandered into a posh nightclub called the Fast Forward Lounge. We quickly came across Cindy's friend, who just happened to be covering things behind the bar so the regular bartender could take a leak.
"Wow Cindy, if it wasn't for the fact that I know certain things about you and the secret code sign you gave me, I'd say you were just the average college hotty instead of some 52 year old scientist. By the way, who is your cute friend?"
"This is..."
"Karl uhhh, Karlotta," I replied.
"So Ron, why don't you get us a couple drinks,like ya know, the night is like young, and so are we, aren't we honey,"she said, as she rubbed my thigh.
The bartender returned to mix some drink specials for us, and Ron got the formula for us, unfortunately,both at about the same time.
At first it didn't seem like anything had happened, and our drinks and the bag with the formula sat on the counter together as we did some shooters and downed a pitcher of beer.
"Hey Karlotta girl, like, let's go to that little booth in the back so we can do this more privately, kay hon?"
"Sure Cind, like for some reason, I've got this feeling we'd better do this in privacy."
"Oh, by all means girlfriend," she said, as she grabbed my hand and dragged me back to a dark corner table, away from the lights of the dance floor.
As we slipped into the booth together and set our drinks and the formula down,Cindy made her move on me. I had thought we were comimg to the booth for the mixing of the formula, unaware that this woman with the mind of a sixteen year old had other plans.
At first, I thought of bolting, but as she ran her hands through my hair and our tongues found each others mouths and throats, and she rubbed her breasts against mine, I decided to give in to the urge. Before long, we were all over each other, and it felt great.
After awhile, we came up for air and Cindy went to mix the formula that would set things right.
Only, I happened to pick just that time to get up and go to the bathroom, bumping the table, and she looked up at me and smiled, not paying attention to her mixing.
Neither of us notice the mistake,until I mentioned the eerie blue grey mist that seemed to cover the floor of the whole place.
"Probly jes one o those dance floor smoke machine things,"Cindy giggled."Now just sit down here with me and let's take our bad medicine."
We both pounded down the vile concoction, and then went back to mauling each other.
As we kissed and fondled each other, somehow Cindy began to feel different.
We both pulled back suddenly, and stared transfixed at the other person.
Cindy's body had begun to fill out, and she had a dded a pound or two on her hips thighs and stomach.
"Umm, Cindy , I think we're changing again."
"Ohh, you just aren't kidding. I don't know what got into me, and allow me to apologize for being so forward. It's just well, that at sixteen I kinda experimented a bit,"she said then paused to think," but then if I'm talking like this then we must be older which means that those grey hairs in your light brown hair..."
"Yes, we're getting older, and so is everyone else here."
Indeed, we watched transfixed as a young couple making out in a booth across the way, progressed rapidly in years. He got a bit of a paunch, and she filled out, then one grey hair after another filled his head a well as hers, with lines giving way to wrinkles as well as sags and bags.Even so, they held each other close and pressed their withering forms together, even as the girls foot held out to one side appeared to weather and the toenails become hard and curled and yellowed in her sandal.
"I think hon-ney,"the old gentleman said,"I could use nuther drink."
"Well, don be gone too long now, granny need her sugar."
The same scene was occurring eveywhere around the place, as we slowly made our way to the bar to consult with our now white haired frien Ron.
"Ya ninny Cindy, I tol ya ta be careful wid dat stuff. Now look at what ya gon an done.Spose you want the antidote."
"That'd be mighty helpful Ron."
"Well, I got the last bottle hid at the Playboy Mansion in LA, so yer gonna have ter figger out how ta git there, eh girlie?
