"I want to be your adopted sister," Mary Elise stated. "Are you sure?" Katie asked. "We could try making you my sister by blood."
Mary Elise shook her head. "As nice as it would be to be sisters by blood it sounds a little scary. I don't want to be unborn even if it's for a moment, besides if I did I might not be me anymore at least in body. Let's just stick with adopted okay."
Katie smiled and made her wish. Both girls felt reality shift as new memories flooded there minds.
In this new reality Mary Elise was the daughter of Kellie's best friend and her first client. When Katie and Mary Elise were three, Mary's parents were killed in a car accident. Kellie immediately took the orphaned girl into her family since she had no immediate family who could take her. Kellie had raised the girls together resulting in the two treating eachother as sisters and Kellie thinking of the girl as her own daughter.
Katie and Mary Elise now looked at eachother and smiled as they understood how this reality was shaping. "Let's go enjoy the day sis," Katie said with a smile. "Sounds like fun," Mary Elise said. With that the girls ran inside.
Over the rest of the summer the group would get together frequently. While only rarely was all six the would the kept in touch and gave updates to those that couldn't be there when the group had their fun. Whenever they would get together they would share stories about how there lives had changed over the course of the last few months.
Mika and Claudia were enjoying there lives as grandmother and adopted granddaughter. As an added bonus Mika had emptied her bank account so that Claudia and Mika were living quite comfortably. Samantha, who at first had been very resistant to changes, greatly enjoyed the changes now and looked forward to seeing the girls whenever she could. She was such a frequent guest at Katie's house Kellie would joke the the little brunette must not have a home of her own. Finally Tricia had begun to lose weight. After seeing how she looked when she was younger she was tired of being obese in her old age. Through diet and exercise she had started to lose the weight she had put on in her later years.
The group had tried different ages when together sometimes being in high school or college and even being 25 for the weekend. With the summer coming to an end soon Mary and Katie had ideas for a series of sleepovers leading up to the start of school. Excitedly they now waited to see who would come over for this first in a series of sleepovers. The rules were that Katie and Mary Elise would choose the age for the first day while some else would get the choice on the second. The only rule was that the group had to be the same age unless they were too young, in which case one person would be the babysitter.
As the doorbell rang to announce the arrival of someone Mary and Katie bounded down the stairs to see who had arrived.
