Rachel decided to eat the chocolate with -1 on the shell. She popped it into her mouth, chewed on it, and swallowed. She could feel the chocolaty taste in her mouth as it went down her throat. In fact, the taste of it gave her body strange tingles. She didn’t expect chocolate to do something like that. But Rachel let that slide and went back to do her usual stuff. She picked up the box of novelty chocolates and went to the computer to see some recent events.
Rachel immediately went on Facebook to see what her friends were saying. Mostly it’s the usual type of question. ‘What are you going to do after you graduate?’ ‘Which college are you going to?’ ‘What are you going to do for summer vacation?’ Basically the usual stuff teenagers talk about. As she was looking over the forums, she left a little hungry again. So she decided to take another chocolate piece with a negative one. After eating it, she went back to reading.
As Rachel continues reading what her friends were doing, she felt a little uncomfortable. She squirmed in her seat just to get herself to a fitting point. But as she was doing that, her clothes were getting a little wavy. Curious, she looked down to see what’s wrong and notice that her clothes were a little loose. Her crop top was slightly baggy, her Capri pants were a tad loose, and her slip on shoes seem to have a gap in between the back of her foot and the inside of her shoes. Getting a little worried, she peeked down her shirt just to see what happened to her chest. Looking down, Rachel’s eyes were wide in shock as she saw her breasts degraded to perky B cups instead of Cs as her bra was a cup size loose. “What the…” she said in confusion as she soon realized that her voice sounded an octave higher then normal. Quickly, she got up off the chair and approached her full-length mirror to see what happened to her. Upon closer inspection, Rachel’s fears were truly revealed.
Standing in front of the mirror wasn’t an 18-year-old girl on the verge of getting into college. Instead, it was a 16-year-old with baggy clothes who’s a couple of inches shorter then before. She also noticed that her long hair was shorter then before as it went from behind her back to up her shoulders. And her face looked a little more childish and less adult like with a smaller nose, slightly bigger eyes, and freckles on her forehead with a pimple dotted on the cheek.
Rachel couldn’t believe any of it as she rubbed her cheeks with her hands and realized it was completely real. “Oh my god…” she said to herself in his higher voice, “Look at me. I look like my days back at my sweet sixteen. How did this happen?” She tried to process all of this in her head and wondered how could someone like her get two years younger in a couple of minutes. All she remembers is that she was eating two pieces of chocolate before all that happened.
Then it hit her. The chocolates somehow managed to regress her body to two years. She wondered if the chocolates would reverse the regression as well. So Rachel hurried back to her computer desk where the box of chocolates is located and looked for anything that could age her back. Finally she spotted a section of chocolates that has +1s engraved on the shells. Confident, she takes two of them and sighed to herself saying, “Well… Here goes nothing.”
She plopped two in her mouth and waited for the change to come. After a few seconds, she felt the sudden tingle like last time and knew this was it. She felt her body growing and her clothes fitting perfectly again. Witnessing this, she returned to her mirror to see if it worked. Looking back, she sighed in relief as she was returned to her own 18-year-old self with long brown hair, nearly adult face and normal height.
The moment she admire herself Rachel then realized something. Those chocolates she ate must have some kind of magical powers in them or something. Heading back to the box of candies, she noticed that there were more then just chocolates with –1s and +1s in the box. There were other chocolates that have different shapes, different sizes and different engravings. Rachel guessed that the other types of candies might lead to different changes once she eats them and the possibilities are endless. So a smile crept up her face and she said to herself in her normal voice, “Hmm… Maybe this day won’t be so boring after all.” Looking at the box of magical chocolates, she wondered what she was going to do.
