It happened with Sharon, Derrick, and Julie too. Two small, pointy lumps were forming on each of their heads, and their ears were turning
bigger and pointy.
Derrick was the first to notice. "Dad." He said "Your ears!" John looked in a mirror, and then looked back at his family.
"It's happening to all of us!" John said, and they all looked in the mirror just in time to see freckles appear on all of their faces.
"Let's not panic." Sharon said, trying to stay calm while she and John were looking younger "I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for
this. Maybe an allergic reaction?"
"You two look like you're in your early 30's." Derrick said as each of their horns and ears continued to form.
John and Sharon looked at eachother and saw that their son was right. any signs of aging were gone, and John now had a full head of hair,
while Sharon's grew longer.
"Wait." Julie said, as each of their noses began to flatten and turn black "Does that mean Derrick and I are gonna get younger too?"
Each of them now had fully formed goat horns and goat ears, and all their lips turned black while the upper lips split down the middle.
John now looked in his 20's and so did Sharon, while Derrick looked 14, and Julie looked 13.
"I don't want to get younger!" Julie said, as she was now 12, Derrick was now 13, their parents were now 19, and they all had hard, black
fingernails.
"My shoe feel tight." Derrick, now 12 said, as he and the others removed their shoes and socks for the same reason. Julie was now 11, their
parents were now 18, and all their feet were forming into black, cloven hooves.
"Listen to me, Julie." she said as she and John were now 17, Derrick was now 11, Julie was now 10, and all their legs became reverse-jointed "I
promise everything's gonna be just groovy." she said as she and John were now 16, Derrick was now 10, Julie was now 9, and little goat tails
popped out of their pants. "You just need to mellow out." she said as she and John were now 15, Derrick was now 9, Julie was now 8, and thick
hair that matched the color of the hair on their heads grew from their legs, completely covering them. John removed his pants due to the new
warmth, and the others did the same. "We're a family." Sharon said as she and John were now 14, Derrick was now 8, Julie was now 7, and thick
hair that matched the color of the hair on their heads grew from their arms. They all removed their shirt, leaving the guys bare-cheasted, and
the girls with only their bras - not that Julie needed hers anymore, and soon neither would Sharon. "We're totally gonna make it through this."
she said as she and John were now 13, Derrick was now 7, Julie was now 6, and the hair got so thick, it completely covered all their upper
bodies, arms, and necks, leaving only their faces hairless. "You'll see - we're the Andersons." she said as she and John were now 12, Derrick
was now 6, Julie was now 5, and all their pupils were rectangle-shaped. "We're gonna be ok." she said as she and John were now 11, Derrick
was now 5, Julie was now 4. Sharon, now 10 like John, went up to Julie, now 3, Derrick, now 4, and hugged them both. When she let go, she
and John were now 9, Derrick was now 3, and Julie was now 2.
They all looked and saw they had stopped changing. "Ya know," John said, smiling "Ya look really cute right now." "Aww, thanks." Sharon
replied, smiling and blushing "Back at ya - cutie. Hee-hee! Well, let's get settled in."
They all unpacked, and were surprisingly strong for their sizes.
"Kids." Sharon said "Why don't you two play in the other room while your daddy and I get 'comfy' in the bed? Hee-hee." she laughed, looking at
John flirtatiously, and he returned the look.
"Okay." Derrick said, smiling "Come on, sis -I'll race ya!" "I'll get there first!" Julie said with a defiant grin.
When they got there, they found panpipes under their pillows, and began to play on them perfectly.
John and Sharon got in bed, and started playing patty-cake.
What now?
