Josh looked the girl in front of him. He was still unsure how old this girl was exactly and to be honest with himself he really didn't want to know. Katie now looked at him waiting for an answer. "Why don't you stay like this for a little while," he said. Katie nodded. "That's fine," she answered. "Hey Josh,?" She asked. "Do you think you'd want to change your age?"
Josh shook his head vigorously and held up his hands. "No,no,no,no," he exclaimed. "I'm happy being my own age. I do wonder how old you really are but I really don't want to know, the last thing I want is to be making out with a five year old."
"I'm older than five Josh," Katie said shooting him an incredulous look. "Sorry," Josh said sheepishly. "Still trying to wrap my mind around this whole age changing thing. I do have one question though why do you seem so more mature if your really younger."
"Whenever I change myself with the ring I gain the knowledge and intelligence of a person that age," Katie said. "I've been as old as 25, so I've kept that knowledge no matter what my age becomes." Josh looked at Katie thoughtfully before answering. "So if you have the knowledge of a woman whose older why be a kid." Katie shrugged her shoulders and looked at Josh. "Well without telling you how old I am I don't want to lose my entire childhood," she said. "I've come to the conclusion that your childhood is precious, people shouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up."
"That's pretty smart there Katie," he said. " you know whatever age you really are you have a good head on your shoulders."
"So," Katie asked. "Does that mean you still want to be friends?"
Josh smiled as he ran his hand through her hair. "Sure Katie," he said. "I'm not sure where this will go from a romantic standpoint but we can definatly be friends. I hope that's good for now I'm still a little weirded out about the age thing."
Katie sighed and looked at Josh. "I guess I'll take what I can get," she said smiling weakly. Josh smiled before kissing her gently on the forehead.
As the young couple sat in the park watching the regressed couple play Katie heard her phone buzz. "Who texted you?" Josh asked. Katie looked at her phone quickly reading over the text message. "It's my sister Mary," she answered. "She says she wants me to meet up with them at the bar and to not use my powers on you. She says she'll explain when I get there."
"Guess I made the right call not wanting to change my age," Josh said. "Just out of curiosity has Mary changed her age too?"
Katie laughed softly. "Yeah you could say that," she said. "She used to be a lot older than me before deciding to be young again. You can ask her about it later, that is if you want to come with me?"
"Sure why not," Josh said. "I mean how many times do you get to talk to someone whose chosen to relive their childhood."
The young couple stood up taking eachother a hand as they began to head back to the mall.
