Joe looked down at his naked dwarf sister in all her pathetic misery and decided to show a little mercy.
"Fine," he said. "I'll alter memories and your clothes for you."
Melanie wiped a tear from her eye with her stubby fingers and smiled up at him hopefully. "Thank you."
Joe closed his eyes. This one would take a bit of focus. He imagined the world an all of the people in it. He imagined his sister and her whole life as it existed in other peoples' minds and in every single record of her in the world. He imagined that it was all different, and it was.
Instantly, Melanie found herself dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans combo. The pants appeared to have been altered to fit her odd proportions, but they felt comfortable on her. She smiled, at the very least, no one would find her new body to be strange, well, except for her, that is.
She looked around the house. Family photos all now showed her as a dwarf. In one group photo, it was clear that she was sitting on a stool to be at the same level as the rest of the family. It was humiliating to say the least.
"Well," said Joe. "I hope that makes it a bit easier, but remember, I need to see some real changes in your behavior if you expect me to change your body again."
Melanie nodded. "You bet," she said. "I'll be the best sister you've ever seen. Just watch." And she mean it. She would do just about anything to get her normal body back. For now, she would just have to play nice.
"Good," said Joe, who reached down to muss her hair. She felt shocked and irritated, but she knew he was testing her and let it go. She forced a smile. He smiled back, fully aware of how hard she was trying to be nice.
"This should be fun," he said. "Well, good luck." He walked away, leaving her standing there in the hall before the mirror feeling even smaller somehow now that she was alone. She looked herself over again. She felt repulsed and depressed at how much she had lost. Still, she was ready to make the best of it and earn her body back from her jerk of a brother. She just hoped she could get him to turn her back.
