Bobby tried hard to not think about the little girl. He felt so awful, like he ruined someone else's life. Finally, he was able to convince himself that it was an accident and that Merlin would take care of her. However, the images of seeing the girl shrinking stayed with him. He went to bed thinking about what that must be like. To get smaller yet not necessarily younger. To de-age.
Bobby felt a little funny when he woke up in the morning. He jumped out of bed and his pajamas immediatley fell to the ground. He saw two small, hairless legs as skinny as toothpicks under him. "Oh no!" he cried out in a tiny voice.
He ran his little body over to the bathroom and almost cried when he couldn't see over the sink. He stood on the toliet and saw the skinniest 5-year-old boy he ever saw.
