“Oh,” Emily said. “I feel it again. It’s happening again.” She stood up to get a better look at her body, bracing herself with one hand on the back of the couch.
Jeff watched in fascination as his sister began her next subtle change. This one was sure to be interesting, he thought. She did not grow in height this time, only the shape of her body changed. Two mounds swelled on her chest as her hips and butt broadened out. A subtle shifting in her features gave her face a more mature appearance, but it still retained a toddler’s proportions with its small nose and big eyes. Then, her shirt shrank onto her like plastic wrap, forming itself into a one piece bathing suit the same pink color her shirt had been. The tight fabric accentuated her new curvy form.
Jeff only noticed the rest of the changes on closer inspection. A faint trace of stubble was visible on her thick legs, showing that she would now have to shave her body hair. Additionally, the hair on her head had grown thicker and longer than would be normal on a toddler’s head.
“What the hell?” she said and then gasped when she heard her voice had changed again. It did not sound like a toddler’s nor did it sound like an adult’s. There was a maturity to it, as if her vocal cords had grown, but her body had not grown, leaving her voice in some weird half adult, half child limbo.
That half and half feeling perfectly described her whole body now. She was a toddler, not a day older or an inch taller than she had been a minute ago. Only now, she had all the physical attributes of a girl that had gone through puberty. She was a fully functioning adult toddler. She would even have her monthly period if Jeff left her this way long enough.
Looking down at herself, her eyes were drawn to the line of cleavage poking out of her low cut bathing suit. Her breasts were only the size of tangerines, but they jutted out dramatically on her small frame. She touched them, experimentally with her little hands. Only then could she believe that they were real.
”These feel so weird,” said Emily, who sounded like she was reluctantly enjoying the sensation of her new breasts. “God, I’m… I’m grown up, but I’m not any older. I grew up, but I didn’t grow.” She looked at her bulbous butt and her broad hips. “I’m like a total freak now.”
“Well,” Jeff said, trying to sound supportive. “Maybe you could pass as a really small dwarf or something.” He said this, even though he knew that her face would always betray her true age. As mature as it looked, it was still a toddler’s face.
“Maybe,” she said as she massaged her chest more, having lost all sense of modesty after all of the changes she had been through. “But, I don’t want to be a dwarf.”
After a bit more time spent feeling her new curvy body up, she hopped down from the couch. At least, she looked relieved that her muscles seemed to have developed more as the result of her new maturity. She no longer had that unsteady toddler feeling as she walked.
“Well,” she said, looking back up at Jeff. “What now? I tried to talk to whatever it is that's doing this to me, and all that happened was it changed me again.”
Jeff stood up and acted like he wanted to walk a bit to think, but really he just wanted to compare the size of his body to hers now. The top of her head did not even reach his waist, but he could look down at her impressive cleavage. Something about her new appearance seemed familiar to him, but he had trouble figuring out what it was. Then, it hit him; she looked like the Tiffany doll that Jennifer Tilly voiced in the movie, Bride of Chucky. Only her face did not share the same demented smile. Emily’s face still retained the gentle innocence of a toddler’s. A better comparison would be that she looked like a real-life version of a chibi anime character.
Just as Jeff was about to speak, the two of them heard a car pull up on the driveway of their house. Worried, Jeff looked out the window. “It’s Mom,” he said. “She must be done shopping.”
“Oh, thank God,” said Emily. “Maybe she can figure this mess out.”
Jeff felt less enthusiastic. Their mom’s arrival would interrupt his experimenting with the Chronivac. He did have some options, though. He could just change Emily back to normal and wipe her memory, or he could alter reality so that everyone thought her new body was normal. (If he did that, he thought it might be best to leave her memory intact. What fun was it to leave her trapped in that body if she didn’t suffer because of it?) If he really felt ambitious, he could just include his mother in his experiments, making her another test subject. So many options available at the push of a button…
When his mother reached the front door, Jeff made his decision. He decided to…
