"Well, any suggestions for our next move?" Connie the pig asks her fellow adventurers as they stand outside Madame Majiques cottage.
Suddenly, a burst of purple light blinds me, Maedel and Andrew. When we open our eyes we see a little dog drop from the sky landing directly on top of Connie.
"YEOUWCH!" she shouts as the dog bounces off her head.
"What in the heck?" Maedel says looking up only to see a glowing purple hole in the sky and something falling out, about to land on Connie. Her elven reflexes are astounding tough and she runs toward Connie, putting one foot on top of the pigs back and launching herself into the air catching the falling objects as she does so. She lands on her feet on the other side of Connie with next to no effort needed to maintain her balance.
What Maedel didn't notice was the second falling object that fell bonking Connie squarely in her head knocking her into the muddy ground beneath her.
Looking down at the bundle she caught Maedel sees its just a bunch of clothes looking vaguely like the camouflage some of the other rangers would wear. She stares for a second wondering why the bundle felt so heavy... and warm, then she sees it move ever so slightly. Setting the clothes down on a dryer part of the ground, Maedel begins sifting through the clothing, throwing it to the side. Then she feels and sees flesh, white as snow and soft as a baby's bottom.
"It is a baby's bottom!" Maedel shouts in surprise, confusing me and Andrew who were busy helping Connie up. I accidentally drop Connie back into the mud as i stand up intrigued at Maedels find. i see her lift the small child out of the clothing and hold it to her breast.
"Ouch," Connie groans as she helps herself up, Andrew apparently too intrigued by the strange metal object that had bonked her on the head to help her up. "Thanks for nothing Sara."
The little dog ran up to Maedel yapping all the way and began pawing at her knees on its hind legs.
"Well, aren't you just the cutest thing," Maedel says as she looks down on the little tike. The babe stares back, mouth wide open and drooling slightly, looking totally dumbfounded at the familiar face that seemed much bigger than she remembered. She squirms a little in Maedels arms as she realizes she's totally nude in front of her old friend.
"Ba ga ga," the baby babbles, trying to ask what's going on but just causing Maedels grin to spread even wider. She's feeling really humiliated now and desperately tries to cover herself any way she can. as she tries to stand she ends up lifting her legs in the air and sees an unfamiliar pair of chubby legs with stubby little feet on the end.
"Hehe is baby trying to touch her toes?" Maedel giggles. a cold shiver runs down Sara's back. "Did she just say baby?" she thinks. It takes a second longer for it to really sink in. Those were chubby baby legs. HER chubby baby legs!
Another familiar face moves into view. Its her own. Her younger self is looking down on her with a curious expression.
"Where'd she come from?" I ask.
"I have no idea." Maedel says.
Its then I look at the pile of discarded clothing and see its much to big for a baby and say so to Maedel.
"You don't suppose she got shrunk to child?" I ask.
"That could explain why she's so squirmy. Little thing won't stay still!" Maedel says.
"Hello, honey!" I say brightly, trying not sound too condescending, "If you can understand us - don't worry we'll take care of you and try to figure out what happened... It just might take a while... We're awfully busy at the moment."
Little Sara can't help but feel helpless. She'd been a tough warrior determined to go back to the past to save the future. How could she do that as a little baby? How would her stupid 'younger' self even figure out what happened? Feeling totally overwhelmed and helpless for the first time in years, Sara got emotional. So very, very emotional. It was like pent up years of tears suddenly swelled up and burst their banks and she couldn't help but wail.
"Shh, shh. it's okay," Maedel said, feeling deep compassion and barely stopping herself from saying "Mommies here."
Little Sara stopped her crying for a second as she realized the tears weren't the only thing to burst their banks as her bladder began to empty itself of its own accord.
"No! It's not fair! This isn't right," she thought as she peed all over her best friend. Some reunion this was.
Somewhere, an unknown force smiled as it watched the tough girls plight. This was all so much fun! Who'd have thought all this could come from lending some of her power to a mortal? The creature grinned, revealing its sharp teeth.
