'Genni, go ahead and hand the baby to Miss Holmes' the Dr said.

Genni obliged and handed Mark to Miss Holmes.

'Click'

'Hey...... are you making me a little girl agan already???? Do I hafta?? Ummmmmmmm Stuff's feelin' funny..... ' Genni said as the Dr kept his device trained on her.

Her eyes took on an innocent look and then her expression became very blank. She crumpled softly to the floor where she began sucking her thumb and slowly curling into a fetal position. The Dr. had regressed teenaged Genni's mind into that of an infant.

'Click' He began regressing her body to match.

Her feet slipped out of her shoes and pulled closer to her body as her whole body shrank. Her sun-dress swallowed her. When it was done baby Genni was lost in a pile of fabric that used to be a tight-fitting dress.

'Won't such severe regression cause problems?' Miss Holmes asked.

'I'm sure there will be at least some temporary problems if not more long lasting but I have to show Mark that I'm serious. Once he is returned to normal and realizes what's happened to him during his regression I doubt he'll want his wife to remain that way very long. Let's leave them together for a while. I want this to count. I'm ready to take over the world!' Dr Meinclare shouted.

'Doctor, how could I ever doubt you? You're such a genius!' Miss Holmes replied.

Dr Meinclare smiled. He was ready to get to the last stage of his plan. 'It's only a matter of time now!' he said.

After about 60 mins the Dr returned 'Let's finish this' 'Click' Mark started aging. The tape on his diaper quickly pulled apart. Miss Holmes placed a large towel around him as he grew. Finally he found himself wrapped in a towel lying on the floor.

He tried to speak but couldn't find any words. His mind was scrambled from his experience. For the last few hours all that he had known were happy, sad, comfortable, and uncomfortable.

'uhhhhhhh goooooooooo.... ssssssssssssss ' was all that came out as he kept trying to speak. Miss Holmes helped him to his feet but he couldn't put any weight on them. He couldn't remember how to make them work. He felt comfortable that Miss Holmes was helping him though. She placed him in the seat with restraints and strapped him in. He also found himself more than a little fascinated with her breasts. He had a hard time taking his eyes off of them!

'Well, Mark.... a little confused from your experience?' The Dr asked.

'Mark stared at the bright shiny necklace that Miss Holmes wore. It gleamed between her breasts. He didn't pay any attention to the Dr.

'Ummmmm Mark? Over here!' The Dr ordered as he clapped his hands.

'Uhhhhhhhhhh .....I, I, I, big boy????' Mark was finally able to say.

'Yip, you sure are. Are things coming back to you now?' Dr Meinclare asked.

'I not baby anymore?' Mark asked.

'No.... You're a 'big boy' again.' The Doctor explained.

'Uhhhhhh.... Why?' Mark wondered as he was still not sure what had happened.

'Mark.... you see how confused you are? You might never get everything back. That's because you were bad and never gave me the codes I needed. Now, your wife is even more regressed than you were. She's only days old both mentally and physically. The quicker you give me the codes the quicker I change her back. How long do you think an infant's mind can retain adult memories? How long does it want to? Or need to?' The Dr's tone was different. More serious.

'I give you codes and you make her big girl?' Mark questioned. He was still very confused. Thoughts didn't want to connect. He now knew he was not the same as before yet he didn't seem to be under any control of the Dr's device at this point. He didn't want the same fate taking over his wife.

'You bad man!' Mark said.

'Mark.... the codes or else I start taking even more time from your wife!' Dr Meinclare ordered in even sterner tones.

'Ummmmmmm.... they hard to remember.....' Mark replied.

'CLICK' '6 days old!' The Dr said as he aimed the device at Genni.

'Ummmmmmmmmm I'm thinking..... Wait..... Wait....Ummmmmmmmm....' Mark begged with the Dr.

'No time! Time is up!' 'click' '5 days old' the Dr said.

'ummmmmmmmm I'm still having a ........ hard time......... thinking.....' Mark said as worry crept into his voice.

'No pressure! Take your ~wife's~ time!' The Dr said as he clicked off another day. '4 days!'

'Ok... Ok...... they're coming...... ummmmmmmm wait!' Mark pleaded.

'click' '3 days!' A very angry Dr said. 'THINK!' 'click' 2 days!'

'No No No.... I'm gonna tell you.... you're making it hard to think!' Mark said.

'click' '1 day old! I'm not messing around here! Happy Birthday Genni!' 'click' 'Oh wait.... it's not your birthday ~YET~!' 'click' 'Mark... C'mon!'

Genni was curled into a ball. With every click she seemed to curl more.

'Doctor.... OK....OK.... ' Mark cried.

'click' 'Genni, your birthday won't be for a couple of days!'

'1-0-0-FOX-VICTOR-7-0-0-8-9-2-ALPHA-3-7-9-0' Mark said dejectedly. 'Ok... I told you.... change her back!'

'Why should I? I have the code now! You're lucky I don't hold grudges. You made me very angry, Mark!' 'click'

Genni began to age. Her tiny body began to grow. From a couple of days before her birth to her actual age of 28. She remained in the fetal position.

'Now her mind! Please Doc!' Mark asked of Dr Meinclare.

'click' The Dr set the device to reverse the mental personality regression. She slowly rolled on her back and moved her arms and legs randomly. Miss Holmes brought her a robe although Genni didn't seem to notice or care about her nakedness. Miss Holmes then helped her up and into the robe. Just as Mark had experienced, Genni had trouble standing. Only now was Mark beginning to gain control over his limbs. This was a good thing because he had to fight an impulse to keep from sucking his thumb!

'I..........' Gennifer tried to speak 'I.......Uhhhhhhh ...... no baby???'

'No, I'm sorry hon.... just think hard and come back to me! I gave the Dr the codes. I should have give them to him sooner.' Mark told her.

'Back? I big?' She asked in confused tones. 'Nooooooooooo make me baby again! I'm baby!'

'She's just confused. It's all a shock to her.' The Dr explained as he punched the codes into his lap top.

'C'mon, Gennifer!' Mark implored.

Gennifer seemed to gather herself a bit and felt compelled to pull her robe tightly closed. Her control of her arms and legs was back. 'I'm big?'

"Yes" Mark answered.

More time passed and Gennifer seemed more aware of her surroundings. Mark watched hopefully waiting on his wife to return.

"Why'm I big and where's my Mommy and brother?!!" she asked. 'I want my Mommy!' she said with fear in her voice.

'Gennifer, C'mon! What are you talking about? Think! I've given the Dr the codes. We can leave! It's over for us!' Mark said.

'Where my mommy and my brother???' she again asked. 'I can't go nowhere without 'em'

'Hold on.... NOBODY is leaving until I take over the world! OK? Think about it.... You leave before I'm ready and tell the authorities where I am. Hellllllllloooooooooooooo. Excussssssssssssssssssssse me! No way No how! Huh uh! Hold your horses! I use these codes, get connected, take over the world, and then and only then do you leave here!'

'You crazy bastard! You tricked me! And what is Gennifer talking about? She doesn't have a brother!' Mark argued.

'Oh ~THAT~..... well her and Katie traded ages and places. I guess maybe all that regression before birth maybe mixed her up a little. I guess that is the reality that she returned to. Listen, I don't have time for this. I need to get started on taking over the world!' Dr Meinclare replied.

'But.....Fix this. Do something...... We can't go on like this....' Mark pleaded.

'Oh.... yes... well I'm in a hurry. Ummmmmmm' The Dr replied. 'click'

Suddenly Mark saw the device pointed at him. 'No..... get out of my head! Don't make me think like a little boy.... I'm not a little boy... Nuh uh.... I'm not!... I'm big..... boy...... boy...... I'm boy......' Mark's protests faded into childhood bliss as his mind was back to that of a 3 year old's.

'Hey!' Genni said.

'Oh.... sorry....' the Dr said to Genni. 'click' Genni's 28 year old body began travelling backwards through time. 25-24-23 A very youthful face watched the Dr as he kept the device trained on her. 20-19-18 A high school senior now replaced the 28 year old figure that had been there before. 15-14-13 Her curves began to fade....destination childhood! 11-10-9.... He feet slowly left the floor as her legs were no longer able to reach the floor. They would soon disappear underneath the seemingly growing robe. 8- 7-6. A 6 year old sat in her seat flopping the much too long sleeves of her robe.

'Yeayyyyyyyy.... You fixed me back!' she declared.

'Oh.... ummmmmm yeah.... whatever..... Ummmmm Miss Holmes, please get the ummmm children some play clothes and take them outside to play. I need to get busy taking over the world.' Dr Meinclare stated.

Miss Holmes led them away. Mark, now mentally regressed into a 3 year old, and Genni... now physically regressed into a 6 year old and now stuck thinking that SHE was the daughter of Katie and SISTER of Stevie.

Outside, Katie was having balance troubles as she practiced wearing a pair of her mother's high-heels.

'Mommy!' Genni yelled when she saw Katie. Katie was glad that Genni must have decided to be a little girl again rather than a tennager. And she was glad that she still wanted to trade places. She was afraid that she'd make her trade back and Katie liked being big.

Mark ran to the sandbox to find the earth moving toys.

Dr. Meinclare began working with his computer. 'Damn 26.4 connections!' he said as he redialed his ISP.

Mark grew increasingly frustrated as Stevie didn't want to play with him. With Mark's personality now that of a 3 year old, Stevie wasn't interested in the same things as Mark. Genni was now back in her 28 year old body but mired in a confusing fog still leaving her stuck with the mind of a 6 year old. The effects of the severe regression Dr Meinclare had subjected her to had still left her unable to regain her adult personality and memories. She still believed that she was the little girl and that Katie was the mother. All this was the result of fragmented memories leftover by the Doctor forcing an age trade between the two.

Due to Stevie's urging she had agreed to be the mother again but it was all like a game. It didn't seem real. Katie was the most disappointed of all. She had liked being a grownup and being in the role of mother. Now she was a little girl again and pouting in frustration. Genni tried her best to fill the role of an adult but the swingset was just too inviting. It was when she joined Mark in the sandbox that some things began to fill in. Not all at once but rather slowly. Sometimes memory fragments would float through her mind and disappear. That would frustrate her as she tried to focus on them. They seemed so different from the way she currently felt but didn't last long enough for her to understand why. Other pieces of the puzzle slowly came back to her. A sudden realization of how she was dressed and a bit of embarassment washed over her. The T-shirt had fit 6yr old Genni like a dress but now it barely covered her. And Mark looked familiar in different ways to her yet so strange to see him acting like he was.

'Look... army man!' he said as he held up a toy soldier. 'I see army men ALL the at school' he said confusing school for where he worked for the government.

More random thoughts ran thru Genni's head. Her head hurt as the pieces tried to fill in the now confusing blanks. Feeling silly to be playing in the sandbox she slowly stepped out as she brushed herself off. She shook her head and walked over to Stevie.

'What's wrong with me?' she asked him.

'I dunno....' he replied 'I think that crazy ol' doctor messed everybody up! I wanna go home. I want you to be mommy again and daddy to act right!'

More things filled in for her. Things started to make sense. The memories of what the doctor had done and why came back to her. Family roles came back. She knew that SHE was the mother. It wasn't all clear just yet but she realized that she was on her way to returning to normal. The Doctor had returned her personality to normal but the effects of being regressed so far back had slowed the process.

'Stevie... listen...'she whispered into the young boy's ear 'Mommy's better now. Don't say anything...just listen. I'll figure something out so that we can all get out of here. I know things have been strange but it'll be OK. But don't tell your sister. I don't think we can trust her now. And I'm not sure about your father either! Maybe he can still help but it might be up to me and you. We'll have to think of a plan.'

Stevie was glad to hear all that! He was ready for this to end. This wasn't the summer vacation that he had planned.

'Genni.... let's trade back now. You don't wanna be mommy! You said you didn't!' Katie whined.

'Not now, Katie' Genni replied as she made her way over to talk to Mark.

'Mark? Are you still in there?' She whispered.

'Ummmmm I'm in the sand box.... look tanky!' he answered showing her a toy tank.

'That's nice. Do you still remember being an adult? Can you help us get you back to normal?' she asked.

His eyes widened. 'Nuh huh.... I'm big boy though!'

'But... do you have any ideas on how we can get back to normal?' she asked him.

'Uhhhhhhhhh You're scarin' me!' he said as he started to cry. This got Miss Holmes attention. Dr Meinclare had sent her to watch over the 'children'.

'Kids? Genni? What's the matter?' Miss Holmes asked.

Gennifer's mind raced. Should she overtake Miss Holmes she wondered? She realized that got her nothing. Dr Meinclare had the power.

'Genni? Are you OK?' Miss Holmes again asked.

Gennifer decided to play along and act like she still had her 6 year old mind. 'Uh huh I'm K.... ummmmmmmmmm Mark... Marky won't play with me!' she said now trying to imitate the speaking voice and vocabulary that had come naturally only moments ago.

Before Miss Holmes could reply Dr Meinclare's voice boomed over the intercom. 'Miss Holmes.... Is there trouble?'

'I don't think so doctor.' she answered.

'Well... why don't you bring Genni in here a second.

Gennifer wondered if this was her chance? Could she get the device? Would the Dr let his guard down? At least she had her adult faculties on her side! She decided to play along and study the situation. She knew she couldn't afford to waste her chance. Whenever she made her move it would have to count.

Once inside she could see the Dr was working on unpackaging a new mouse for his computer. The other one had been taken apart and appeared to have seen better days!

'Yes... Genni... Miss Holmes... there's been a little delay in my plans. So Genni it looks like I better make sure you adult personality doesn't come back at the wrong time' he said.

'Ummmmmm huh??? Uhhhhhhhh I don't like it when you ummmm use that thingy' she said still trying to talk like a 6 year old. 'I'll be good... I ummmmm promise'

'Click' 'We can't have any surprises' the Dr said as he engaged the device.

'But, But, But... I'll be good..... I'm a good girl! I prom...I pwomise....... ' she said trying to get the Dr to change his mind.

'Now... you shouldn't even notice a difference. I'll just send you back to 6 years old where you're already stuck anyway. That way those nasty adult memories won't come back and cause us troubles! You shouldn't notice a thing' he explained.

'uhhhhhh but mister.... hows come? I pwomise I'll be good ... I'll play allllllllllllllllll day long! ' she said as she lost the battle with the Doctor's device and then broke into giggles.

'That should do it!' The Dr said. 'Let her go play with the others. I have work to do. Soon I will RULE THE WORLD!' he shouted as he turned to the instructions for his new mouse.

Miss Holmes took her back outside and Genni skipped back over to Stevie.

'Have ya got a plan? Did you get that thing he has?' Stevie asked quietly.

'Nuh huh...' she answered.

'How come?' he asked.

'Cuz' she said.

'Cuz Why?' he replied.

'Just cuz!' she replied getting frustrated.

'Genni... are you ready to trade me back? I wanna be big!' Katie said.

'She ain't gonna trade you no more!' Stevie cut in.

"I dunno....." Genni said as she appeared to be thinking. With the thought process of a six year old working for her she kind of liked the idea of being the kid. After all, she could still find a way out of Dr Meinclare's even if she was a kid again she figured.
