The pink clouds floated lazily to the west, where they encountered the Greenville High School. The windows of the gymnasium had all been opened as it was an unseasonably warm evening
Inside, the Greenville Tigers, the girl's basketball team, was hard at practice. One of the best teams in the state, the girls were unusually aggressive and competitive.
Coach Laura Grant blew her whistle. It was starting to get stuffy in here, and the girls well-toned young bodies were soaked in sweat.
"Ok girls, that's enough, hit the showers."
They didn't have to be told twice, and they ran for the locker room.
Laura looked upwards and noticed a strange pink haze. "Now that's weird, I better get the head janitor in here."
As she headed for her office, she felt a little strange...could the fumes be toxic? She felt pretty good, though not bad for a woman pushing 40. She envied her girls though, if only she could be young again.
In her office she could hear the girls chatter. Oddly, their voices sounded different. Higher pitched....
Opening the door to the locker room, she stopped in shock.
Her star forward, Carol Jones, was wrapped in an oversized towel, dripping wet. But she was several inches smaller, and her features were younger looking!
"Coach? Is something wrong?"
"Carol...look at yourself!" Carol turned and looked in a mirror.
"What...what happened, I look like a kid!"
Just then, a wailing noise could be heard from within the shower. A girl of about twelve ran out. "Coach, it's Gina, something's wrong with her!"
Without caring about the fact she was fully dressed, Laura ran in, and found a crying girl of about nine huddled up on the floor. She picked the girl up, who put her arms around Laura's neck, and dragged her out.
By now, all of her athletes were gathered, some in towels, others half-dressed, and a few naked. Where before they had all been 16 to 18 year old girls, now their ages ranged from nine to thirteen at best.
Gina felt lighter in her arms, and to Laura's shock, the girl had shrunk. Make that seven to thirteen.
"Coach, look at us! What's happened!"
Laura sat down on a bench, holding the little girl close. "I don't know girls, there's some kind of fumes in the gym, some chemical, I think it's done this to you."
"Why am I smaller than my sister?" Rachel Harris had been a year older than her little sister Grace. But now, Grace looked about 12, and Rachel was standing naked, her breasts reduced to buds, and her pussy completely hairless...a girl of no more than ten!
"I don't know, honey. We have to get to the hospital or something."
Ashley Grey chimed in, her once beautiful body reduced to that of an eleven year old girl's. "And have everyone treat us like freaks? Forget that!"
The other girls agreed.
"Ok ok, but what else can we do...why is everyone staring at me?"
One by one, the girls were looking at Laura in shock. Laura suddendly felt her clothing growing loose on her body. She nearly dropped the seven year old in her lap!
Gina looked up. "Coach...you're getting smaller now too!"
"I feel so...strange...help..." Laura started to black out, but there were arms there to catch her.
