Sophia didn't know when it happened, but at some point she must have fallen asleep. For she was awoken by the bright rays of the sun shinning down upon her face. Pushing aside the piece of cardboard she was sleeping under, she stood and peered around the dumpster.
Outside of the alleyway she could hear the sounds of the city, which for some reason frightened her. But then the tiny part that was still Jack stepped in and she reminded herself, "I need to get to the costume shoppe and reverse this. I don't want to be stuck like this and have to grow up again," and with that thought in mind, Sophia proceeded down the alleyway, away from the sounds of the busy street.
As she moved, something inside whispered that she needed clothes to wear and looking down Sophia saw that she was still wearing the over sized shirt she had taken from the apartment she had awoken in last night. Bothered by this, and new thoughts coming into her mind, Sophia lifted up the shirt and then after a moments hesitation, removed the shirt. Standing naked in the alley, she looked down at her naked feminine body and the tiny voice that was still Jack screamed out, "You see that flat area. It's not supposed to be flat. There is supposed to be a penis and testicles there."
Confused by this, Sophia looked about, wondering if maybe she was crazy, like the people she sometimes saw on the telly or in the flicks she was once and awhile taken to.
A trashcan caught her eye and looking over Sophia saw that it contained clothes, probably thrown out from a department store. Approaching the bin, she looked at the large loading door, expecting someone to come rushing out at any minute. When nothing happened, Sophia reached into the trash bin and looking through the clothes, selected an out fit of a pair of black Lycra tights, an shirt with Hello Kitty on the front with the words 'I love nerds' printed over the head of the kitten, a pair of socks...still with a tag attached...a pair of pink and white shoes and a pair of underwear...still in the package...with Angelina Ballerina on the front.
Satisfied, with her choice, she began to dress in the back alleyway, unaware of the fact that her body was still under the influence of the magick that had changed her in the first place.
As her body came in contact with the clothes, which actually were for a girl about three years younger then Sophia, it began to shift. Not paying attention to this, Sophia was oblivious to the changes as she searched inside the trashcan for a light jacket. As she searched, four years melted away and as this occurred , she started to shrink just a couple of inches. But the biggest changes, which happened when the underwear came in contact with her female genitalia, was that the tiny voice that was Jack grew even tinnier.
Unaware that she had just regressed back to a four year old, Sophia pulled a pink, purple and white jack from the trash bin and pulling it on, she glanced up and what she saw made her nearly squeal with joy. Hanging a bit of the way down the alleyway was a sign that was hard for her to read, but she still was able to make out the lettering.
Staring at it for a moment, making sure that what she was reading correctly, Sophia took in the sign that announced the back entrance to the costume shoppe. Skipping down the alley, and not realising that she was doing so, Sophia approached the building, unable to remember why she needed to go to such a place, but sure that it was important for something or other. As she did, she failed to see the large truck pulling out of the alley and away from the store.
