The big oak door that stood as the entryway into the home of four
college graduate students was being mercifully pounded by the fist of a
young woman. Music could be heard spilling out of every inch of the
house. The vibrations shaking the windows violently and those of the
neighboring houses. After pounding on the door several times, the music
seemed to quiet down some and the sound of hushed voices could be heard.
The giant door opened up a smidge, enough for the head of a young man by
the name of Joe Briarson to peek his head out.
"May I help you?" Joe hissed, his voice clearly sounded annoyed with the
interruption.
"This is the third night in a row! For Pete's sake, people are trying to
sleep! It's almost one in the morning and, unlike you college brats, we
have to get up for work!" the knocker shouted back in disgust. "If you
don't turn down that awful sounding music, I'm going to call the
police!"
"Go ahead, it's not they're going to do anything. You'll just be wasting
their precious time when they could be doing something more important."
Joe had replied, chuckling at this old woman's failed attempt.
"I swear if it's the last thing I do-" the older woman had started to
say before the door was promptly slammed in her face.
"I'll make sure you never have a drunken college party again!" she
finished.
***
Joe had slammed the door in front of the older woman's face and just as
quickly slid the deadbolt to lock the door. Turning from the old oak
door he took a quick look around at the party patrons. His best friend
and roommate since they were freshmen in college, Shane Hitch was near
the kitchen mixing drinks for people. His other roommate, Alec Wilson,
was chilling on the couch passing a blunt to his girlfriend, Malorie
Easton.
He rolled his eyes at the sight of the two and noticed the other patrons
chatting and hanging out with drinks in their hand. Walking into the
kitchen he greeted Shane with a head nod, going directly to the
stainless steel refrigerator. The fridge was covered with random magnets
and papers from their classes and other things.
Opening the fridge, Joe grabbed himself a bottle of Corona and closed
the fridge door. He pressed the cap of the bottle into the magnet bottle
opener attached to the side. With a quick motion, the cap came off and
fell into the trash can located underneath.
Joe took a quick swig of his beer, letting out a sigh as he finished.
"Man, that crazy bitch Mrs. Lams was at the door again."
"Yeah? Was she bitching about how loud we were again?" Shane laughed as
he walked over to his best friend.
"Mhmm. Threatened to call the cops again, we should probably turn on the
police radio to keep watch. Just in case."
"Worrywart, much? It's not like they're gonna do anything. Worst case
just tell us to keep things down."
The two laughed, walked back into the living room, and headed toward the
large glass door that led out to the back patio. As they passed, Alec
and Malorie greeted them with a smile and a giggle, before going back to
making out on the couch in between taking a quick puff of the passing
joint.
Both guys waved back, as they shimmied through some of the party goers
to make it to the patio door. Shane stepped in front of Joe just as they
reached the door, and pulled it open saying, "Hodor".
Joe rolled his eyes, the glowing light of the tiki torches reflecting in
the whites of his eyes and stepped through the doorway and onto the
patio. "Your Game of Thrones references are weak, dude" he chuckled as
Shane followed him out.
"You don't even watch Game of Thrones." Shane shot back.
"So?" Joe replied, his voice muffled by him taking off his maroon shirt
and tossing it over the side of the railing. After triple checking that
his phone and wallet were not in his pockets, Joe cannonballed into the
pool that was being used by some of the party guests. A few screams of
surprise rang out amongst the music of a few women not ready to be
splashed by a huge wave of water.
The pool itself, in the words of the three guys, was the best purchase
they had ever made together. It was an 18 foot above ground pool that
took up a majority of their backyard. The patio had been rebuilt by the
hands of the three as they wrapped it partially around the pool. This
allowed them to relax by the poolside without having to actually get in,
and it helped keep the ladies near the pool.
Along the various corners that made up the pool, more tiki torches were
stuck in the ground and helped light up the pool and the backyard.
Joe had come back up from underwater and was smiling at all the people
who gave him dirty glares. He swam over to the edge of the pool that
connected to the deck where Shane was waiting.
"Dude, I swear to fuck if you splash me I will end you" Shane growled
taking a couple steps back from the edge.
Joe ran his hands through his dirty blonde hair, combing it back and
rested himself against the edge. "Now would I really do something like
that?"
His response was met with a middle finger by his friend who was standing
as far away from the edge of the pool as he could. Joe rolled his eyes
and edged over to the plastic ladder, pulling himself up out of the
pool. Grabbing a random towel nearby, he draped it over his shoulders
like a cloak and gave his head a quick shake like a dog shaking off
water.
All of a sudden the lights and music inside the house had shut off, a
few people screamed. The guys figured it was a breaker having a glitch
and figured nothing was wrong. Just about everyone who wasn't in the
pool had pulled out their phones and had turned on their flashlights.
Shane pulled out his phone and gave Joe's his and the two joined
everyone else and turned on their flashlights.
"Alec and Mal you still in here?" Joe asked amongst the hushed whispers
as they made their way through the living room and trying not to be
blinded by random lights.
"Yeah! We're over here!" Alec giggled loudly.
"Thanks, dude. That's super fucking helpful." Joe yelled back.
"You asked!" Shane chuckled.
Joe flipped off Shane, the latter not being able to even see that was
what had happened. Shane told their two friends to stay where they were
and they'd go find the breaker box in the basement and hopefully get it
fixed. They trudged through the crowd of people who were either standing
in the road or were on their way out the front door, now that the party
was considered a "bust".
Still using their phones as flashlights, the guys used their free hands
to grip the wooden railing attached to the wall as they descended the
stairs into the basement. The stairs were a bit steep and were covered
in carpet that matched what was upstairs in the living room. At the
bottom of the stairs was a landing that then had a couple steps that led
into the basement.
The basement was considered a "finished" basement despite the floor had
no carpet and was just concrete. Joe hated going into the basement at
night, especially when the breaker box was on the other side of the
basement. There was just something creepy about how much darkness a
basement managed to create when it got dark outside. Standing on the
landing, Joe let Shane descend the final two steps onto the cold
concrete first before stepping behind him. Shane held out his phone with
the flashlight on and walked forward, Joe following close behind like a
shadow.
"Hopefully it was just the breaker going out. I swear to God if it was
that kooky old lady..." Shane said softly as they walked past their
sectional couch that sat across from their 60' flat screen television
that was attached to the wall.
Reaching the breaker panel, Shane popped it open with his free hand
while holding the phone in the other close. "Looks like it was just the
breaker," Shane chuckled as he flipped it back over, the lights turning
back on immediately.
"Fucking sweet. But I think this party is basically a bust. Most people
went home due to the outage..." Joe replied nervously.
"True. Well, let's at least go finish it out with whoever is left and
then call it a night." Shane suggested as he closed the breaker panel.
The two guys made their way back upstairs where they found the house was
very empty, except for Alec and Malorie who were still sitting on the
couch baked out of their minds.
"Everyone leave?" Joe asked, his answer was immediately answered as he
noticed a trail of wet footprints across the carpet.
"Yeah dude, everyone left for the night. Good job on getting the power
back on though!" Alec giggled.
"Yeah Joey, good job!" Malorie replied too, giggling like an idiot.
"Thanks guys," Joe replied shaking his head. "Alright let's clean up a
bit and then get to bed.
For the next half hour, the four cleaned up the inside of the house, Joe
had ventured outside and blew out the tiki torches, opting to clean the
outside in the morning when he could properly see everything. With the
inside looking better than it had been, the four said their goodnights
and headed off to bed.
None of them would be ready for what tomorrow had in store...
***
Joe was the first to wake up, the time on his almost dead phone
displayed 7:03 AM. Groaning, loudly, he scooted his body near the edge
of the bed to grab his phone charger. As his left arm dangled off the
edge of the mattress, he attempted multiple unsuccessful attempts to
reach the cord nearby.
"Fuck" he sighed. "I don't want to get up... but my phone is gonna die."
He scooted himself further on the edge, the left half of his body just
barely on the bed. "Almost there...!" he yelled in his head, struggling
to reach the phone cord. His last attempt was in vain as he fell off the
bed and onto the floor. Thankfully his blankets helped break some of the
fall as he laid there in a bit of a daze.
Joe looked over and saw the end of his phone charger was now resting by
his head. Digging one of his hands through the constricting blankets, he
plugged his phone in just in time. Afterwards, he tried to squirm his
way out of the blankets so he could stand up and get ready for the day.
Managing to finally stand, Joe picked up his phone and tossed it onto
the bed, double checking to make sure it hadn't come unplugged.
As he walked towards the door of his room he stopped next to his white
clothes hamper and grabbed some clean clothes before stepping out into
the hall. As Joe walked to the bathroom at the end of the hall, he could
hear the front door open and shut.
"Shane must have been called into work. Poor bastard." he thought as he
walked into the bathroom and flipped the light on. After emptying his
full bladder, he stepped out of the bathroom and walked back towards his
bedroom to check on his phone. He had turned on Airplane Mode to get it
to charge faster, so he wasn't expecting anyone to text or message him.
The phone showed that it was only at a measly 15% but it was still
charging so with a shrug, Joe set it back down on the bed and walked out
of his room, heading towards the kitchen to get some breakfast.
As he walked to the kitchen, he noticed on the dining room table, which
still had a few empty glasses and beer bottles with some liquid still
inside, was an intricately designed basket full of fruit. Joe rubbed his
eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things. After rubbing his eyes and
blinking a few times, the basket had not moved an inch. Inside the
basket was a small, plump watermelon in the middle with a couple red
delicious apples, a few oranges, and a couple branches of grapes
surrounding it.
"What the hell...?" Joe muttered aloud as he inched closer to the table,
concerned that it might be some elaborate prank brought on by his
roommates. He reached outward with his right arm, closing his eyes tight
as he got closer to the basket. Joe only opened his eyes when he felt
the cool, smooth, roundness of the watermelon.
"Well... I don't know what I was expecting," he thought, his inner voice
sounding disappointed.
On the table in front of the basket was a little handwritten note,
picking it up, he read it:
I apologize for being such a pain in the rear for you party people.
Please accept my gift as a form of apology - Your Neighbor
"Well if this doesn't scream 'I obviously poisoned all these fruits and
I want to get rid of my annoying neighbors' then she must really think
we're dumb," Joe muttered as he crumpled the note and threw it away.
"Nice try though."
He went over to the kitchen and dug through the pantry trying to find
something to eat for breakfast. Joe came across some oatmeal bars and
grabbed a couple before closing the pantry door. Looking out through the
glass door he noticed how bad the pool looked.
"Well fuck," he said after taking a bite out of the oatmeal bar. "Better
go get my swim trunks on and start cleaning."
***
Alec stumbled out, bleary-eyed and starving. "Oh man, I have got the
munchies so fucking bad," he said. He was wearing a pair of boxers and
an old Rolling Stones t-shirt. His brown hair was shaggy and full of
corkscrews from sleep. He looked around the empty and trash strewn room
as he scratched his chest "Where do they keep the food in this place?"
he mumbled.
As he stood, his girlfriend Malorie came out of the room bumping into
his back with her shoulder to move him from the doorway.
"Move it dink" she laughed and stumbled past him, her eyes barely half
open. She was wearing a pair of pink panties and a white tank top "Where
do you think they keep the food? In the damn toilet...kitchen's this
way" she said walking down the hall.
"Oh...yeah," Alec said watching her go. "If you find Cap'n Crunch save
it for me; I'm serious" he slurred out.
"Whatever..." Malorie said. Her dirty blonde hair was also messed up
from sleep and her face was puffy and pink as well. Her pert breasts
made quite an impression though through the thin top and the panties
kept creeping up, exposing her firm and round ass to the stumbling Alec
behind her.
Alec didn't even notice. He was too stoned to care about his
girlfriend's perfect ass at the moment; he wanted to eat and to get
something to drink "Man I hope they have some O.J. I've got some bad
cotton mouth going on"
"Don't see any orange juice or any milk for that cereal you wanted,"
Malorie said peering into the fridge.
"They got a fruit bowl over here" Alec said looking at the basket "Did
somebody get a promotion?"
"Maybe somebody died" Malorie replied as she came back his way "That's
the only time I've ever actually seen a fruit basket; at a funeral home"
"The only thing that died last night was that entire bag of prime dank
kush," Alec said, a lazy grin crossing his lips. "Grapes man...grapes
should kill this taste in my mouth," he said as he picked up a bunch of
green grapes and began picking them off their stems.
"Guess I'll take the red ones," Malorie said doing the same with her
bunch.
Alec threw a handful into his mouth and began chewing them up "So good"
he mumbled as he quickly picked more off and tossed them back.
Malorie was putting two into her mouth at a time, lining them up on her
back teeth and chomping down "Yeah...the juice is finally getting my
mouth to not feel so damn dank"
Alec fumbled a grape; he bounced it and slapped at it trying to catch it
but ultimately it hit the ground. He laughed at it as it rolled between
his feet but when he went down to pick it up, his shirt flew up and over
his shoulders almost coming off.
"Whoa man," he said straightening up too fast and giving himself a head
rush. His shirt billowed as it fell back into place "Don't remember this
shirt being this big" he mumbled as he popped his shoulders and put his
arms out straight.
Alec stared at his arms "Man...I think we might have gotten some bad
shit" he said.
"Why's that Hun?" Malorie asked not really looking over.
"I'm like looking at my arms and they look all fucked up" he laughed
nervously "My arms look tiny"
He waved his hands back and forth not believing what he was seeing; his
arms looked like they were growing smaller on him. "Whoa...even my arm
hair is like changing," he said watching the hairs lighten and thin on
his forearms "Was there some acid in that weed?"
Malorie shoved another handful of red grapes into her mouth before
turning to see what Alec was going on about "What are you talking
about?" she asked.
Malorie felt her heart jump and her stomach sink. "What the...?" she
said with her eyes slowly widening and her mouth dropping into an O
shape "What am I seeing? Am I actually seeing this?" she thought while
she remained paralyzed.
"Alec?" she finally managed to say as she saw his entire body now begin
to diminish and shrink down shorter. He had been several inches taller
than her at around 6 feet to her 5'6" but now, he was quickly going down
in size.
Alec turned to her, arms still stuck outstretched in front of him
"Uh..." he said dumbfounded that he was looking Malorie in the eye at
first but then, she appeared to be taller than him "What? Am I
shrinking?!" he yelled out sobering up fast.
"Yeah dude...I think you are!" Malorie replied, "And..."
"And what Malorie?" he asked, his voice cracking at the end. "What?" he
whined.
"Your face!" Malorie said pointing at him "Your face looks different"
Alec's stubble pulled inward leaving him with soft and smooth cheeks
along with a hairless upper lip and chin. Pimples broke out; his eyes
narrowed and his nose began to pull inward much smaller than usual.
Just as fast as the pimples arrived, they cleared up again but with it,
freckles broke out and his cheeks rose up high and round.
It hit Malorie then what she was seeing "You...You look like a little
kid" she said in a harsh whisper of surprise.
"No! That can't be!" Alec said but in a part of his mind, it made sense.
The room and Malorie were getting bigger and bigger around him and his
clothes were getting bigger on him. His shirt was like a tent and his
boxers felt very loose at his waist.
He looked down and saw his skinny and pale legs sticking out like
toothpicks from his boxers and his rock shirt that was now almost to his
knees. His legs looked scrawny and strangely hairless as well. His feet
looked small, his toes tiny and not at all like what he was used to
seeing.
"Malorie?" he said, his voice several octaves higher.
Malorie looked down, way down at her boyfriend. He was young and still
getting younger somehow. She didn't know what to say as she saw tears
come into the eyes of what had to be an elementary school version of
Alec.
But elementary school was quickly giving way to preschool. Alec's boxers
gave up and dropped down to cover his small feet. The neck hole of his
shirt gaped open exposing almost all of his small chest to his slight
potbelly he was developing as he got younger. Only his small chubby
hands popped out of the long sleeves as Alec was reduced to a 3-year-old
boy.
"Malawee?" he cried out confused. He put his arms out wanting her to
pick him up but Malorie backed away instead.
Malorie's mind was running a million miles a minute; her heart was
racing and her stomach was flipping before she felt a tingle run up her
spine which stopped her.
Malorie froze. She rose up on her tiptoes and cocked her head slightly
to the side before she let out a slight burp and began to shrink down
herself.
"What? No! This is not happening" she said as she felt herself
descending and shrinking down. Everything in the room began to get
larger to her perspective and her tank top straps slipped off her
rounding shoulders.
"AH!" she let out a quick squeal as she grabbed for her straps and
folded her arms tightly beneath her breasts. Her arms were pulling in
and shrinking down and her hands were changing as well.
Malorie stared as her fingers shrank and her nails grew minuscule
beneath her eyes until her attention was drawn slightly higher.
"No!" she cried. She bounced up and down in childlike frustration as her
breasts began to shrink. The large round globes she was used to
diminished and pulled inward. Soon, they were pointy and cone-shaped
like when she was 13 and she felt her panties loosen up as well.
She stole a quick glance over her shoulder and go watch her ass getting
flatter and losing its perfect curve atop thighs that were starting to
thin and hips that were pulling in.
By the time she looked back to her chest, two small bumps remained fit
for a 12-year-old before in a flash, those two were gone as well.
Malorie's hips and ass had become non-existent and her legs were skinny
and coltish at best. Her feet squeaked as they shrank against the tile
floor getting smaller and smaller as her eyes got closer and closer to
them.
"Malawee gonna be wittle too," Alec said and clapped his chubby hands.
"Shut up you little twerp!" she yelled, her voice higher than before.
She stomped her tiny foot and spun toward the stove. The oven door was
clean and she could see her reflection in it. Malorie's face had already
changed but it was still changing for her to see.
Her lips had thinned and her chin and jaw had pulled in. Her nose was
button small and her cheeks were round and apple like under her wide and
innocent looking blue eyes.
Her hair was longer and thinner and much lighter; her blonde was almost
white again, just like it had been when she had been a little girl.
"No!" she repeated in an even higher voice as her hands went to her
cheeks in shock. Staring back at her from the reflection was a face
Malorie hadn't seen in years but she recognized it; it was hers from the
first grade. Malorie was six years old again.
She turned to Alec who looked to be no more than three "Great!" she
threw her little arms up in the air which caused her panties to drop
off. Luckily her tank top was now serving as a dress for her "This is
just perfect; I'm a little girl again. What are we gonna do?"
As she looked at her reflection her mind seemed to cloud over. Thoughts
of being an adult seemed distant inside her tiny head but soon they were
gone.
"Malawee, let's go swim!" Alec cheered, his mind too had finished
regressing.
***
Joe had just finished putting on his Star Wars swim trunks and was
walking out the patio door to the deck, he stopped and turned around to
grab the trash bag that was lying on the bed.
The mess that awaited him was an ungodly sight. The pool was covered in
floating red solo cups, some of them having their contents spilling out
into the pool water.
He just shook his head and walked down the couple steps so he was by the
poolside, his head shaking side to side in disbelief. Joe set the trash
bag on a nearby chair and quickly took off his shirt, setting it on top
of the trash bag to weigh it down.
"What a fuckin' mess," Joe muttered as he grabbed the nearby net and
started fishing out the cups.
At the moment getting the pool in order was his top priority, the rest
of the backyard could wait. He quickly scooped up the floating red cups,
a few times having to extend the net's pole to reach the ones at the
opposite end of the pool. Reeling the net back in after finally getting
the last cup, he set the tool down and grabbed the white trash bag. With
a few shakes after pulling it apart, the bag quickly opened up.
Joe wasted little time throwing the cups from the net into the bag he
held in his left hand. When he finished, he set the partially full trash
bag down against the chair that his shirt was on and walked down the
nearby steps that led down to the backyard. Taking a glance at the rest
of the yard, Joe let out a silent "Fuck..." before bringing his
attention to the nearby shed. He traversed through the garbage that had
spread across the yard, mainly due to the slight breeze from the
previous night.
Upon making it to the shed, he grabbed the handle and pulled hard, the
door quickly swinging open and almost hitting him. "Not today shed!" he
triumphantly cheered, having stepped back to avoid being smacked in the
face.
Inside the shed was the group's lawnmower and some of the other pool
cleaning tools. As he stepped inside the shed, Joe didn't notice off to
his left the abundance of pool toys that had materialized out of the
tools in the shed. He just needed the pool vacuum they had bought
recently to clean up the bottom of the pool that was hanging up behind
the lawnmower.
They had gone the "cheap" route when it came to the pool vacuum. It
wasn't anything special, just a contraption where you hooked the hose
into it causing the dirt and other debris to be sucked into the bag
attached to it.
Stepping out of the shed, Joe instinctively closed the shed door behind
him and then questioned himself on why he had done that. With a shrug to
no one but himself, he walked to the side of the house where the water
spigot was. The gray hose was thankfully still connected to it, though
it was a bit warm to the touch, which Joe learned too late after picking
it up with his right hand.
"Ouch! Son of a..." he yelped as he quickly let go of the hose. "Damn,
it's only been in the sun for a couple hours and it's hot as fuck."
Nursing his hand as much as he could, he used his other hand to turn the
knob to start the water. The spigot made a gurgling noise as the water
rushed through the pipes and into the hose. Joe knew the water that was
about to come out was going to be super hot and just aimed the end away
from him. After a few seconds, the water came gushing out of the other
end of the hose and into the grass.
Joe gave it a solid minute before picking up the hose and let the cool
refreshing water splash against his right hand for a bit. He gave it a
bit before turning off the water momentarily, so he could grab the pool
vacuum and get the hose attached.
As he was attaching the hose to the vacuum, he swore he heard someone
screaming from inside the house. He immediately stopped what he was
doing and listened for a few seconds to make sure he wasn't hearing
things. The only sound that came was the gentle breeze that went over
the backyard.
Figuring he was just hearing things, Joe went back to making sure the
hose was properly attached to the device. Once he was one hundred
percent sure that it was attached, he slowly turned the knob on the
spigot. It gurgled again as water rushed through the pipes from inside
the house and into the hose. Feeling safe, he cranked the knob all the
way, the water pressure increasing. Right where the hose connected to
the vacuum, water shot out from the sides and sprayed Joe in the face as
he frantically tried to turn down the water.
"Fuck, I wasn't trying to get wet already." Joe chuckled at his own
misfortune. "Alright let's get this thing into the pool before I crank
it back up."
Joe wiped his eyes with a grin on his lips. He walked over to the edge
of the pool and tossed the entire vacuum into the pool. It landed about
in the middle of the pool and slowly sank to the bottom as Joe turned
his back to it and walked over to the spigot to turn the water back on.
With the water now on, he quickly jogged back up the steps and onto the
main pool deck. Looking over the edge he could see lots of bubbles
rising to the surface from the pool vacuum. He took a few steps back
from the edge and ran back towards the edge, jumping at the last second.
The sound of the water splashing as Joe cannonballed into it rang
through the yard. He quickly came up from under the water just as
quickly as he had gone in. Shaking his entire body, water went
everywhere as he cried out from how cold the pool felt initially.
"Holy shit that's cold!" he yelled, his voice shivering from the cold.
Wiping his eyes from the water droplets that surrounded them, he looked
down towards the shifting water to see where the vacuum had ended up. It
was only a couple inches away from his left foot, so he scooted over a
bit and used his foot to bring the vacuum up so he could reach down and
grab it.
The vacuum in hand, he scooted over the nearest edge of the pool so he
could start cleaning. Giving his head a quick turn to get out any kinks
in his neck, he pushed the head of the vacuum against the bottom of the
pool and started to slide his feet forward.
***
Joe knew vacuuming the bottom of the pool was going to take some time,
which frankly he had a lot of considering Shane was out running errands
(he thought) and the other two were probably still blazed out of their
mind. He did regret not having any music playing while he worked, so he
let go of the pole and watched it sink back to the bottom of the pool
floor before walking towards the ladder. He reached out with his left
hand towards the ladder, trying to grab it so he could easily pull the
rest of himself towards it. Grabbing the edges of the ladder, he planted
his feet on the wide plastic steps that had a bit of an abrasive feeling
to them on the soles of his feet.
There were only three steps to the ladder and it didn't take very long
to pull himself up and out of the pool. As he stepped onto the pool deck
again, water had quickly dripped from off his body and covered the deck
with water. He looked across the deck looking to see where his phone
was, when he didn't see it he remembered he had left it inside sitting
on his bed.
He slowly stepped towards the door, knowing first hand how slick the
deck could get when it's wet. At the door he reached out, grabbing the
handle and sliding it to the left. Creeping into his room he hastily
grabbed his phone from the edge of the bed and just as quickly walked
back outside.
With phone in hand, Joe quickly had it unlocked and was browsing through
his music selection. After a bit, he closed the phone's music app and
instead opened Spotify and selected a Pop station. As the music started
to play from his phone's speakers, he rapidly pressed the volume button,
making the music louder until it was at full volume.
"Much better," he thought, setting his phone on top of his shirt.
As he took the couple steps towards the pool, his feet had shrunk in
size, taking on a more petite, softer look. His toenails, which he had
kept short, had lengthened slightly. A clear coat had quickly appeared
on each nail giving them a bit of a gleam in the sunlight.
Following his feet, both of his legs had a bit of a muscle spasm as they
took on a softer look. The sudden spasm had caused him to miss step and
slip on a wet spot on the deck. Joe had no time to accept his fate as he
fell forward into the pool, just missing the outer metal rim by a couple
inches.
Quickly rising out of the water gasping for air, Joe slicked his hair
back out of his face and wiped the water away from his eyes. He hadn't
noticed his hair was a bit longer than before falling into the water.
"Gotta be more careful..." he thought out loud. "Damn pool is
He looked over himself, despite the water causing major distortion,
making sure he didn't cut himself from the edge of the pool. There were
no visible marks, thanks to the pool water, that he could see so he made
his way back to the vacuum.
After getting the vacuum back in hand, he started back up where he had
left off while a Taylor Swift song began to play. While jamming out,
which included swinging his head back and forth while using the pole
that was attached to the vacuum as a makeshift mic, his hair continued
to grow.
He was jamming a bit too hard as he managed to fall backwards and
briefly went under. Coming back up, he had tilted his head back so he
wasn't having to slick back his hair, not noticing it was just touching
the top of his back. As he finished the first lap around the pool, he
had felt a slight discomfort in his back. His vertebrae in his back was
shifting and shrinking, bringing his overall height down a couple
inches.
Before shrinking down, the water had just barely come up to the middle
of his stomach and now it was sitting just above his chest. Of course he
didn't notice because he was too busy jamming out to the next song that
started to play. With another lap around the pool done, he moved the
vacuum over a tiny bit and continued on.
While swinging the pole as a makeshift microphone, Joe was belting out
lyrics from a 'A Day To Remember' song when he managed to smack himself
in the face with it.
"Ow! Son of a bitch..." he yelled, dropping the pole as he held his face
in one hand.
As he held his entire face had begun to change. Both of his cheeks
softened and rose, giving them a bit more definition. He placed the side
of his right index finger up against his nostrils to check to make sure
he hadn't given himself a bloody nose. He had checked three times, each
time he had put his finger up against his nose, the skin softened, and
few freckles appeared across the bridge of his nose.
Joe moved his fingers across his lips, which were just now plumping up,
looking more fuller and feminine. There was no trace of blood as he
pulled his lengthening fingers away from his lips.
"I gave myself a fat lip..." he thought, pressing his fingers back up
against his plump lips again to double check. As if on cue, the song
"Fat Lip" by Sum 41 began to play from his phone.
"Just perfect" he groaned as he used his left foot to lift the vacuum
back up into arms reach.
Wiping a few droplets from his forehead, his eyebrows arched more and
took on a more feminine appearance. This in turn made the rest of his
face finish feminizing making him look like a mature woman in her early
30's. He looked down a few times at his reflection from the pool but the
water kept moving too much for him to really notice anything odd.
By now he was at the halfway point of cleaning the pool and the changes
were starting to ramp up. His swim trunks were starting to feel a bit
tight as his hips had slowly creeped outward until they were child
rearing sized. Thankfully his trunks did a good job at hiding this, not
that he was paying much attention in the first place.
A brief gust of wind blew across the yard, causing his entire body to
shiver. He reached up with his left hand towards his face and pinched
his nostrils closed while closing his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he
sank underneath the water for a brief moment and quickly rose back up.
This time, as he rose out of the water he instinctively tilted his head
back to prevent his hair from getting in his face.
"That feels better" he said under his breath while wiping water away
from his eyes.
Before he went back to cleaning, he felt an uncomfortable tightness in
the rear of his trunks. While under the water his ass was expanding into
noticeable heart shape, which had caused the lining of his trunks to get
caught in between his growing cheeks.
With a quick tug the wedgie was gone, much to Joe's relief. The only
problem was he triggered his next change which was by far the most
drastic. His penis had started to shrink back into his body, the head
drastically shrunk until it was a tiny nub, and the skin that had made
up the shaft became the outer lips to what was going to be his vagina.
His testicles slowly rose upward and into his body, the empty sack of
skin following after and becoming the inner folds of his new sexual
organ. The rest of the inner changes took place making Joe a full
fledged woman.
The last bit of changes in his nether region had caused him to have a
bit of a coughing fit. Joe did his best to stop himself from coughing
but his attempts were nothing but failures. He was almost done cleaning
the pool and he desperately wanted to power through the coughing but it
finally go to be too much.
He went with plan B which was to get out of the pool (again) and take a
quick swig of water from the hose. Getting out of the pool, he slowly
walked across the pool deck, not wanting to fall back in. Carefully
descending the stairs which included holding onto the railing, he walked
across the yard to the side of the house with the spigot.
As he took the ten or so steps to the side of the house, Joe hadn't
noticed that the rest of the yard looked clean, despite earlier being
covered in trash and red solo cups from the party last night. He also
hadn't noticed that when he walked his hips had a bit more of swing in
his step.
Getting a quick drink of water from the hose, Joe hadn't noticed he
instinctively held his longer hair out of his face as he took a drink.
While taking a few swigs from the hose, he remembered he should probably
check the pH balance of the pool and add chlorine.
"Especially with all the booze involved in that pool" he thought,
turning off the water to the hose and letting it fall to the ground. Joe
walked over to the shed to grab the supplies to check the chemicals in
the pool.
This time, when he opened the shed door it opened with ease, preventing
him from having to pull hard. It hadn't even registered in his head that
he didn't have to pull the shed door open with such force as he stepped
inside. Looking over on a nearby shelf, Joe was looking for the little
red box that contained the chemicals and pH balance reader.
Joe found the container full of powdered chlorine, which he grabbed in
one hand while still searching for what he was really after. He almost
tore the entire shelf apart trying to find it to no avail.
"It should be on this shelf with the other stuff" he muttered, not
paying attention to how his voice now sounded.
He walked over to the other wall of the shed, having to move a few pool
floaties and other inflatables out of his way. Joe had taken a mental
note of having not seen any of them the first time he was in the shed
but didn't dwell on the issue. After moving a bright neon pink body
lounger inflatable, he found what he was looking for on a different
shelf.
Joe sighed in relief at finding the prize that was hidden under a bunch
of pool toys that he didn't remember buying but chucked it up that the
other three could have bought them. It didn't matter now, he had the
chlorine and the pH balance kit. He quickly walked out of the shed and
closed the door behind him.
As he almost tripped on the hose, he walked over to the spigot and
turned off the water. He walked to the pool deck and set the supplies
from the shed down before grabbing the part of the hose that wasn't in
the pool. Joe quickly pulled the hose and kept pulling, hand over hand,
as he quickly pulled out the hose and the pool vacuum. He set the vacuum
down gently right up against the side of the pool, making a mental note
to put it away when he put the other supplies away.
Back on the pool deck, Joe crouched down, adjusting his hair so it
wouldn't get into his face before scooping some water into the device.
He poured the testing chemical, which was this dark red on one end and
closed both ends before giving the device a shake. The end with the dark
red coloring had changed to a lighter color, showing that the pool
needed quite a bit of chlorine.
Dumping out the water from the pH balance device off the side of the
porch, he put the tools away and closed the plastic box. Then he took
the container of chlorine powder that was sitting next to him and
unscrewed the top. With the opened container in hand, he made a tossing
motion with his arm and sent the powder flying into the pool. Joe did
this a few more times since it was such a big pool. When he finished
with the last toss, he screwed the cap back on and lightly tossed it
towards the rest of his stuff.
"Almost done. Thank fucking god." he sighed. Plugging his nose he took
the couple steps near the pools edge and closed his eyes tight.
"Time to mix in the chlorine." Joe thought as he jumped into the pool.
***
Rising out of the water, Joe took a big breath of air and quickly wiped
the water out if his face. He could still taste the lingering chlorine
on his lips which made him wince in disgust but there wasn't much he
could do about it.
He started splashing the pool water with his hands and arms, generating
waves as he mixed in the chlorine. As he was waving his arms and
slamming them into the water his stomach started to push out slowly.
With Joe focused on the task at hand, his stomach kept pushing out, a
few stretch marks appearing near the bottom of his swollen belly. It
finally stopped when it looked like Joe had swallowed a basketball, the
skin was very round and taut, yet also very smooth.
While Joe was still splashing he didn't hear the sliding door open that
led into his bedroom. Sneaking out of the door was Malorie and Alec,
both youngsters in their swimming attire. Malorie was wearing a bright
blue one piece that had brightly colored flowers across the front while
her little brother was wearing swim trunks with various Paw Patrol
characters on it.
Malorie slowly slid the door closed behind them, hushing Alec who was
giggling while seeing their "mommy" splashing around in the water. The
two crept down the nearby stairs, making their way across the yard and
to the shed. At the shed, Malorie cracked open the shed door and
instructed Alec to keep watch while she grabbed their floaties.
"Mommy's splashing!" Alex giggled, only being able to see the water
splashing over the edge of the pool.
"Shhh. Alec you gotta be quiet, we're gonna supwise Mommy" Malorie said
in a hushed voice. "Here, take your floaties, I'll help you put them on
as soon as I get mine."
Malorie held out a life vest to Alec who grabbed it with glee. He tried
to slip it on while his sister finished up grabbing their arm floaties.
As Malorie stepped out of the shed, floaties in hand, she saw her
brother had managed to get himself tangled in the straps of the life
jacket.
"You silly goose, look what you did." Malorie giggled as she dropped the
floaties and closed the shed door. Alec just smiled and held his arms
out while his sister helped him get untangled. It took Malorie a few
tries but she managed to fix the life jacket on her brother and made
sure all the buckles were in the right place. She then grabbed his Paw
Patrol arm floaties from the ground and slid his hands through them.
"Tanks Malawee" Alec said with a toothy smile as he watched his sister
put on her arm floaties.
"You're welcome. Now we gotta be quiet as we go up the stairs, okay?
That way we can supwise Mommy." Malorie explained to her brother.
Alec just nodded, he didn't quite understand everything his older sister
said but "supwise Mommy" stood out to him.
The two crept back across the lawn, slowly going up the stairs, making
sure to be extra quiet. When they made it to the pools edge, Alec was a
bit scared but Malorie stood proudly next to him. He slowly sat down
near the edge and tried to put his tiny feet into the water.
"It's okay baby brother, Mama will catch you. Just watch me." she
assured her brother as she plugged her tiny nose and closed her eyes.
As she jumped in she yelled "Supwise Mommy!"
***
Joe, who for his part was in the midst of splashing had stopped to catch
his breath when he suddenly heard "Supwise Mommy". He just happened to
turn to the direction the voice was coming from when a sudden splash of
water hit him.
Almost instantaneously, his trunks changed, becoming a bikini bottom
while a bikini top formed from some of the remaining material and
covered his chest. The new bikini retained its original Star Wars themed
print.
"What?" Joe asked, confused and wondering why he heard the voice of a
little girl, just as a wave of water came crashing down on him.
He was left spitting out a mouthful of water and moving long strands of
wet hair out of his face. After moving the hair out of his face, he saw
a little blonde haired girl smiling big and giggling. Looking past her
was a little boy sitting on the edge of the pool, kicking at the water
with his tiny feet. When the little boy noticed Joe was staring at him,
he smiled a toothy smile and held his arms out to him.
Joe was very confused as to how two neighbor kids got to the pool, let
alone the backyard. Something had caught the corner of his eye and he
turned to see the backyard had changed. A ways away from the pool was a
brightly colored swing set with a slide attached to one side. He then
noticed something was quite horribly different about himself; his body
was most definitely not his.
"What the fuck? Long hair? Oh fuck what is that?!" Joe thought as he ran
his slender fingers through his hair, then noticing his belly was pushed
out and rounder.
***
I don't understand. I-I'm a woman...?! Th-that's not possible. Oh god
this isn't real, there's no way this is real. It's a dream. It
absolutely has to be a dream, well a nightmare but still. I clearly had
too much to drink last night. This whole morning was just part of the
dream. I'm not really standing in this pool with two little kids
swimming, it's all one big nightmare.
Fuck. How do you explain those kicks I'm feeling from inside my stomach?
I can't be pregnant. I can't be a woman! I definitely can't be a mom. I
don't know the first thing about being a mom, let alone everything else
on top of that.
Take a deep breath Joann. Wait, what the fuck? Joann? My name is Jo.
Yeah. Jo, short for Joann. That's not right, why can't I say my name?
What the actual fuck... Oof. What the hell was that? It came from inside
me...? No. No fucking way. Was that the baby?
Oh my god I'm like five seconds from losing it. Okay, think Joanna. God
damn it. Think Jo. Think! What could possibly have causes this?
"Alec wait for Mommy, so she can catch you." Jo said as she noticed Alec
getting ready to jump into the pool. Did I just say that? It was like,
hmm what's the word. Autopilot! Yeah. It was like I was on autopilot. Oh
crap. He's about to jump.
***
Joanna held out her arms in preparation to catch her son. Alec hopped
off the edge of the deck and into his mommy's arms as she pulled him in
close.
"Good job Alec!" Joanna praised as she spun around, still holding onto
her little boy.
"Again!" Alec giggled as he splashed a little.
"I want a turn!" Malorie yelled, kicking over to her mother.
"Okay. But be careful when you jump. I don't want either of you two to
slip and fall." Joanna replied with a smile.
***
At the very same moment, Shane was just getting home from running
errands. Walking into the house he put his keys onto the little key
holder attached to the wall. He saw that only Joe's keys were there and
figured Alec and Malorie had split, since Alec's car wasn't in the
driveway.
Shrugging, he kicked off his shoes and set them down next to the others,
not noticing the two tiny pairs of shoes. Walking into the kitchen, he
noticed a fruit bowl on the kitchen table. There wasn't a note or
anything that said where the bowl had come from. The only fruits left
were a watermelon and a couple apples.
"Mmm. That watermelon looks good, but that's way too big for me to eat
myself..." Shane thought as his right hand hovered over the giant green
fruit.
"Fuck it. An apple will suffice," he said, moving his hand down to the
nearest apple.
Upon grabbing the apple, nothing happened. Shane walked over to the sink
and turned the knob for cold water and ran the apple under the cool
water for about ten seconds. After pulling the apple from underneath the
water, he turned off the faucet and gave the apple a couple shakes.
While shaking the excess water off, he heard what sounded like children
coming from the backyard.
"What the...? Hmm. Did Joe's niece and nephew make a surprise visit?" he
wondered as he walked towards the sliding glass door in the living room.
As he got closer the sound of children laughing and yelling in
excitement got louder and louder. While walking he took a bite out of
the apple, causing his changes to start.
Compared to the others, Shane's changes were minimal as he aged a year
with each step. A bit of stubble covered his jaw, a sign that he was due
for a shave before work on Monday. He aged until he was thirty two years
old. The only thing Shane really noticed was the stubble in the
reflection of the glass.
"Man I need to shave." he thought, making a mental note.
Stopping in front of the sliding glass door, Shane peered out and
noticed a woman who strangely looked kind of like Joe and two young kids
either splashing or jumping into the pool repeatedly.
Opening the door, he stepped out and closed it behind him. Right as the
door was almost closed he heard two high cheery voices yell "Daddy!".
Shane quickly turned his head towards the pool with a look of mild
confusion and horror on his face.
"What the hell?" he whispered, noticing the look of horror on the
woman's face, just as he dropped the apple.
***
Why does he look like Shane, only older? Wait, holy shit that is Shane!
What the fuck? He changed too? Oh god he doesn't know it's me. I
probably look like some random woman swimming in our pool with her two
kids. Fuck. What do I do?
As Joanna stared blankly at Shane, she didn't notice her chest was
finally changing. Her nips were the first to change, turning a dark
shade of pink as they thickened and enlarged till they were about the
size of a pencil eraser. The area around her nips widened, darkening a
bit due to her pregnancy as the skin beneath started to grow. Joanna's
chest slowly pushed out, the skin sagging a bit as what could only be
described as breasts kept growing.
Her breasts continued to grow, pushing against the cloth of her bikini
causing it to be raised as they continued to grow. Eventually they
stopped till they could comfortably fill a DD-cup bra after her breasts
finished filling with milk.
Joanna felt the new weights as they finished, the cold water having
caused her nips to harden and show through the material.
What the fuck. I have boobs? I thought this shit was done. Why are they
so big? Jesus. I look like a cow with these jugs hanging off me.
"Malorie please help your brother, then you can go say hi to Daddy."
Joanna suddenly shouted from across the pool.
Malorie? But that's the name of Alec's girlfr... Oh no. No. No. No! That
can't be them. T-They're just kids. Our kids. Wait. That's not right...
Fuck. I'm a pregnant mother, Alec and Malorie are MY kids, so that must
mean Shane is the... Ew! Yuck! That's so gross!
Joanna tried her best not to gag as she finally put two and two
together. The thought of her and Shane having anything to do with making
the two kids who were getting out of the pool and the current bun in the
oven disgusted her.
But why does he just look older? I've been turned into a woman. A
PREGNANT woman! Why did I get the short end of the stick? I mean, I
don't understand how this is even possible. I'm clearly not dreaming, as
much as I pray I was.
***
Did they just call me "Daddy"? What the... I'm definitely not a dad, I
don't even have a girlfriend. What the hell is going on?
What the fuck? Did she just suddenly grow boobs? What the hell... am I
high? Shit, I shouldn't be. I'm definitely sober after last nights
party.
Shane shook his head, seeing if he was just imagining things. He heard
the woman tell the little girl, whose name he now knew was Malorie, help
her little brother out of the pool.
Malorie? That's odd, that's the name of Alec's longtime girlfriend.
Wait. Nooo. No fucking way. That little girl looks like her. Oh god.
They're getting closer.
Oh god what do I do?
"Hey kiddo's. How are my little monkeys?" Shane asked as he squatted
down to the kids' level.
"Amazing! Come swim with us!" Malorie shrieked as she grabbed her
father's hand.
"Daddy swim!" Alec smiled, holding his father's other hand
"I gotta change first but then I'll be out to swim with you little
monkeys". Shane replied, standing back up.
Malorie and Alec let go of his hands and went back to the pool, knowing
their Daddy was going to swim with them.
What the fuck was that about? I had no control there. God I sound like a
dad. I need to lay down or something. I'm clearly suffering from a major
head cold that's causing me to hallucinate.
Shane walked back into the house, going towards his bedroom. He walked
past it and ended up in what was Joe's and wondered why he had stepped
in there.
This is Joe's room. Er. It's supposed to be Joe's room.
He notices that the bedroom looks quite different to the one he was used
to seeing.
It looks so different, like it belongs to someone else. What's that? A
picture frame? Hmm. Oh shit that's me, those two kids, and... Oh my fuck
no.
That woman is Joe! I mean she's Joanna. Wait what? Joanna? I meant Jo.
Duh. Jo is short for Joanna. What the hell? Jo is Jo. Oh my god this is
annoying. I can only say my wife's name.
Woah what the fuck? Wife? Hell no. I'm definitely not married.
The very second Shane had that thought a gold band had wrapped around
his finger.
I don't understand what's going on, but it looks like I don't have a
choice but to find a pair of swim trunks. Man, what a day. Hopefully Jo
might be able to explain what happened.
***
Joanna watched as the man who looked like Shane, no was Shane interact
with the kids.
He's acting like nothings wrong. Does he know what happened? God, I hope
he does. I don't think I could handle this alone.
What if it's like what happened to me? My body just acted on its own
when the kids were near. I'll have to ask him when he gets done
changing. Ugh. Jo what are you gonna do if he changed fully too?
Joanna tried to think of an answer to that dwelling question but her
thoughts were interrupted as Malorie and Alec jumped into the pool.
She immediately swam over to Alec who was struggling a bit to keep
himself afloat despite wearing the floaties and life jacket. Joanna
wrapped her arm around her son and held him close.
"You gotta be careful honey. Mama doesn't want you to drown." Joanna
said sweetly and motherly.
"I'm sawwy Mommy." Alec replied, resting his small head on her shoulder.
"Aww it's okay. Here let's start with something simple like floating on
your back, okay?" she said softly. "You too Missy."
Oh lord what is happening to me. My body just swept into action to save
my baby boy. Ugh. Don't imagine the bad stuff Jo. Think happy thoughts,
like your husband.
For a few brief seconds, her eyes widened at the thought of Shane being
her husband.
We're definitely not married. That's preposterous.
A gold band appeared on her finger next to a glistening diamond ring.
But if I was to be married to a man, I'd pick my best friend in a
heartbeat. Better to be someone I've known for a long time versus some
stranger. Ugh. What am I thinking? I'm not married and this isn't real.
At some point I'll wake up and everything will be alright.
***
As Joanna kept thinking about the situation she had found herself in,
she was helping her kids float on their backs. She was barely touching
their backs as they both floated, their arms stretched out.
"Good job you two." Joanna smiled, watching them as they floated.
All three heard the sliding glass door open and shut as Shane emerged
from inside. He was just wearing a pair of swim trunks that were covered
with the Batman bat logo.
"I brought towels since it looks like we didn't have any." Shane said
while holding up a small stack of folded towels.
He walked down the couple steps to the pool deck and set them down on
the chair with Jo's shirt and phone.
Both kids were yelling for him to watch them float as Joanna stared at
him. She was mesmerized at how good looking he was, which caused her to
blush when he saw her staring.
Jo what the hell are you thinking? You're a woman for fucks sake. I-
That's not what I meant. Ugh. What's wrong with me. I mean... I did say
I'd rather end up with someone I know.
Oh god he's getting closer. What do I do? Is my body just going to
respond "naturally"? Wait he's not about to do what I think he's about
to do. Oh lord...
Shane looked like he was about to jump into the pool. The kids had
gotten excited as they wanted their Dad to cause a giant splash. Joanna
made sure the kids were out of the way as Shane cannonballed into the
pool.
The resulting fountain of water hit all three as the waves gently pushed
up against them. As Shane came up from under the water, both Alec and
Malorie yelled "Again!".
Their dad just smiled, combing his wet hair back with his right hand and
then wiping the water off his face.
"Woo! That was fun." Shane cheered as he walked over to the kids.
"Daddy you got us wet." Malorie giggled
"Daddy big splash!" Alec said with a big smile.
"Thanks hon," Joanna replied with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
Holy crap did I just do that? Jesus, this water is freezing. God she's
beautiful. Wait, what? Keep your head straight Shane. You're not
attracted to your friend who's now your wife. That just sounds weird.
"Ow... Jane must be excited to know her Daddy is nearby" Joanna cried
out in pain as the baby kicked hard.
"You alright Jo?" Shane asked wading towards her.
"I'm fine. Just wasn't ready for that is all." she replied as she gently
rubbed her belly under the water.
Fuck that hurt. Like holy shit it almost knocked the wind out of me. And
Jane? I guess I'm having a baby girl? No, don't say that Jo. You're
dreaming, remember? But that is a cute name, for a girl that is.
And it was pretty sweet of him to be concerned. God, just admit you're
attracted to him. It might help. Oh. What is he doing? Putting his hand
on mine? That's... sweet of him.
I can't imagine what she's going through. That looked like it hurt. Wait
what am I doing? Okay... my hand is on hers while she rubs her belly.
This isn't awkward... Like at all.
"Daddy swim with us!" Malorie squeaked, trying to get his attention.
"I suppose. Here comes the shark!" Shane said turning to Mal who was
nearby, and slowly sinking under the water.
He propelled himself towards her, gently kicking his feet under water
and as he closed in on his daughter he reached out to grab her feet.
Malorie squealed as her daddy grabbed her tiny feet from under the
water. A bunch of bubbles began to rise from under the water as Shane
rose up laughing. He spit out the pool water in his mouth and continued
to laugh. The little girl was laughing and so was her brother.
"Shark Daddy!" Alec yelled, in between his giggles.
Even Joanna couldn't help but smile and giggle at Malorie's reaction.
The four played and swam for another hour before both parents had
decided to call it quits for the time being. It was almost lunch time
and both kids were looking sluggish.
***
Inside the house, Joanna helped Alec get changed while Malorie and Shane
changed into dry clothes. She tried not to think much about what she was
doing while picking out a cute outfit for Alec to wear.
Joanna picked out a blue shirt with white stripes across it and a pair
of black gym shorts. After making sure Alec didn't need help changing,
she went to her bedroom where she saw Shane, sitting on the edge of the
bed.
"Hey babe. You gonna get out of those wet clothes?" Shane asked,
noticing that he was the one asking.
"Mhmm. Shane... can I ask you something?" Joanna asked, noticing the
same thing.
"What's up?" Shane replied.
"Does anything feel off? Like, we're not who we think we are?"
"Yeah. Wait. Are you saying you know what happened?" Shane responded
standing up from the bed.
"Your mind didn't change? Oh thank god!" Joanna sighed in relief. "I
didn't want to be the only one stuck like this."
"Holy shit. I can talk normally. It's not like I'm a passenger inside my
own body!"
Joanna asked Shane if he had even the slightest idea as to what had
happened to them. He shrugged his shoulders, the look on his face showed
a hint of fear.
"I woke up this morning as a guy and after looking at the fruit basket
left on the table... Oh my god! I think I know what happened!" Joanna
said as she quickly stood up from the bed.
"What?!" Shane yelled excitedly.
"I- Oh hi sweethearts!" Joanna replied, noticing the kids were standing
in the doorway.
FUCK!
"We hungry!" Malorie and Alec shouted in unison.
"Alright monkey's, how about we go make some lunch? I'll even let you
help me cook." Shane replied, turning to face the kids.
He led them out of the room, turning back in time to see Joanna's
defeated expression.
***
What timing those two have. Nothings changed I guess. Ugh. So when we're
around the kids our bodies just act like we're actually their parents. I
mean we are their parents, I remember giving birth to both of them.
Wait. No! Ugh. Fuck these new memories of mine. Anyway, it's gotta be
the fruit basket. But how does that explain all this? Magic doesn't
exist, but that old hag Mrs. Lams clearly had something to do with this.
Man she was pissed last night. The last thing she said to me was that
she'd make sure we never had a drunken party again.
Joanna's eyes widened as it finally made sense. Mrs. Lams, their
neighbor had something to do with this. Now the question was how could
she prove it? Reality showed that Joanna had always been a girl and was
married to Shane. They had two kids: a girl and a boy named Malorie and
Alec with baby Jane on the way.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Malorie walked into the room.
"Mom are you coming?" Malorie asked standing in the doorway, tapping her
left foot.
"Yes hon, just give me a few more minutes." Joanna replied with a slight
smile.
Malorie just nodded and turned around and walked away from the door.
There were more exciting things going on in the kitchen as Shane was
having the kids help him make lunch.
Being pregnant is exhausting. Holy crap, I just wanna lie down and nap.
But I can't do that to Shane, hopefully I'll have a chance to explain my
theory to him. The way things are going it might not be till the kiddo's
are asleep.
Well... time to get a move on, Jo.
***
Stepping into the kitchen, Joanna noticed the fruit basket was gone.
This raised a few questions but she knew with the kids around there was
no way she could ask Shane. She just watched on as both kids stood on
top of the chairs while Shane was in the middle.
Well... like I said, if I had to be stuck with someone the rest of my
life I'd prefer it be him. He's such a dad, even before all of this.
Always taking care of Alec and Malorie when they'd get too high or any
of their shenanigans.
"Alright the water is bubbling, that means it's very hot so be extra
careful." she heard Shane instruct to both kids. "Mal would you please
pour the box of macaroni?"
"Yes Daddy!" Mal replied, a big smile on her determined face as she held
the box of Kraft macaroni in both hands. She gently tipped the box over
the edge of the pot, watching the dried pasta fall into the pot.
She set the empty box down on the counter next to them and watched
patiently as her little brother got to stir.
"Now we'll take turns stirring, then Daddy will drain out the pasta into
the sink." Shane told both kids.
Both kids were more interested in stirring the pasta then anything else.
This allowed Joanna to sneak in behind them and grab some bowls out of a
cupboard. Due to her new height, and the addition of a big round belly,
Joanna found it a bit difficult to reach the bowls.
She eventually managed to grab enough for the four and set them down on
the table. After setting the bowls down, she opened a nearby drawer and
picked out two normal forks and two smaller ones. After setting the
forks next to the bowls, Joanna took one of the unoccupied seats and
leaned back into the chair. By that point, Shane had told the kids to be
careful as he picked up the pot and walked over to the sink.
Both kids watched as their daddy walked the couple steps over to the
sink and slowly poured the water and pasta into the strainer. Shane had
tilted his head back to prevent all the steam hitting him in the face as
he drained the pot.
