As Kellie started towards the bar, Katie was beginning to have second thoughts. Her strict older mother was now a more carefree and easygoing young woman, but with that she'd forgotten exactly who she was. To Mom ... no, Kellie now, Katie was a shrimp and her little sister. Any remnant of the strict and cautious woman was quickly slipping away and if she wasn't careful she might do something stupid. After all, Kellie had just tried to buy beer, and she'd thought nothing less of the strangeness of her license.
"Maybe I should turn her back." Katie thought aloud to herself.
"What was that shrimp?" Kellie asked.
"Well I..." Katie began, her fingers fumbling in front of her.
Kellie shushed her with a finger to her lips, "Say no more. I know what your thinking!"
"You do?" Katie looked at her with hope in her eyes. Maybe her Mom was still in there, maybe this was all a big misunderstanding.
"Your embarrassed about that swim suit," Kellie said pointing to the one piece Katie had in her arms. "You don't wanna wear that old thing! Its a kid's suit!"
Katie blinked and looked down at the suit. It was her old suit from when she'd been her original age, but now it was far too small to be sure. She felt crestfallen as well, Kellie hadn't even flinched. Suddenly she felt a finger lifting her chin.
"Cheer up kiddo! We'll get you a new suit. Its about time you had a big girl's suit, a two piece."
Katie's heart jumped in her chest. She'd always admired the beautiful two pieces older kids got to wear, but her mother had never allowed her to get one. "Do you really mean it?" She asked
Kellie nodded. "Course! I have to get one myself, sis. Cant be seen in this old frumpy thing." She said, tossing her old one piece into the trash with Katie's. "Come on."
Katie beamed and took her hand. Maybe this wasn't so bad after all! After all, she's getting everything she ever wanted! Maybe her mother...no sister, would let her get a really nice one. After all she wanted to show off her body as well now. Maybe it was time for a another wish.
