Katherine dejectedly looked at Alan. It was obvious Alan was going to make her younger again only much slower this time. Looking over her youthful body Katherine shuddered at what Alan had in store. "Why are you making me younger again Alan," she whined. "Come on Katherine," he said in mock surprise. "I'm giving you a chance , you just need to win the game." Katherine glared at him with all the malice her teenage features could muster. "You know damn well your not going to play fair, your just torturing me now, so what's the deal?" Alan laughed softly as he looked at the 18 year old girl. "We'll Katherine," he stated. "You've always walked around here with your nose high in the air. You treat me like a child, like my opinions are no where near as important as yours. I'm tired of being your subordinate so I've decided to cut you down to size........so to speak."
"Alan I'm sorry," she whined. "I don't mean to act superior it's just...." Katherine trailed off as tears dampened her eyes. "I've always had to be act like this to get where I am. It's hard for a woman to get into my position even being an intelligent woman. I'm.....I'm sorry if I've hurt you."
Alan paused and looked at the forlorn girl in front of him. Katherine seemed sincere in her apology but Alan did enjoy watching her slow transformation. He couldn't put his finger on it but watching her slow resent into childhood was exciting. Alan didn't want to be malicious to Katherine, they were friends after all, but he did want to continue watching her descend into childhood.
"I believe you Katherine," he sighed. "And I think I get it. It must be hard for a woman in this field but you got to admit its a bit of a rush." Katherine shrugged it was a little fun watching herself become younger. "Okay maybe a little," she conceded. "But you control it so I don't even know how old I'll be when your fun is over. Plus I don't know if your going to make me my old age again."
Alan rubbed his chin and looked at the young girl. An idea had formed in his head that would allow them both to walk away happy. "Okay Katherine I'll tell you what," he exclaimed. "I'll let you choose your age you want but it has to be single digits. I'll slowly make you younger over the time while you tell me how you feel, like a science experiment."
Katherine nodded. "Okay," she said. "But what do I get in return?" Alan smiled. "In return after everything is done I'll let you choose whatever age you want to be," he said. "You can go back to being 32 or even make yourself a little younger. You could have the opportunity to relive your twenties if you want."
Katherine looked herself over as she thought. If she was willing to let herself go back to childhood Alan would allow her to go back to normal or maybe relive her twenties, which excited her. Sighing she looked at Alan. "Guess I don't have a lot of options," she said. "I'm game I'll let you make me younger if you give me the chance to grow up again."
Alan smiled. "Katherine you have my word," he said. "You let me have my fun and tell me how you feel as the changes take place and I'll make you whatever age you want." Katherine smiled. "Okay so i guess the only thing left is to pick an age."
