Anna thought long and hard and this time said,"I would like to be older."
"Okay, you got it," Circe replied.
The surroundings shimmered and soon Anna found herself in a slinky black dress and high heels, being handed a drink. "Here you go birthday girl," a young man said as he handed her a shot of tequila and a margarita. Before her was a cake that said happy 21st, and the next thing she knew she had made her wish and blown out the candles. She went out to the dance floor and danced with a guy named Ron for a bit, and then excused herself to go with a lady named Tanya to the restroom.
"See you on the other side," Tanya remarked as Anna went into the stall.
"Well, at least this is turning out okay," she thought, as she proceeded to pull her dress and undies down and take care of business.
As she went to pull her dress back up she felt a bit strange, and noticed her body seemed different.
"Hey hon, what took you so long?" a middle aged woman commented.
"Oh....the usual..." Anna replied confused."Give me a sec or two to freshen my makeup and I'll be right back out."
"Alright, I'll tell em to hold off on the 40th birthday toast," the woman replied and headed out.
"I'm 40 now?" Anna sighed. As she looked in the mirror, she noted the fine lines and crows feet on her face, as well as her outfit being a pair of red capri pants and a nice orange shirt with large blue beads around her neck and some sequined reading glasses on a beaded chain. Comfortable black flats were on her feet, and just a touch of gray showed in her bangs.Yet, she felt intrigued by the changes and was curious enough about her life now to see where this went.
