Part 5 Louder
"OK... that's him.... Like, this is sooooooo weird! I'm gonna let you explain it to so we don't have another scene like when you guys first saw me" Marcia said
"OH... like he is gonna believe us?" Jennifer asked rhetorically.
"Oooooooooooo" Marcia squealed as she ran out of the room "Just do your best!!!"
"Hello?" Bill said as he entered the room and immediately sensed his kids staring at him and looking like they were about to burst wanting to tell him something. "Out with it you two! What's up?"
"Ummmmmmmm...." Jennifer started trying to find the words.
"Mom turned into a teeeeeeeeeeenager!" Kayla explained before Jennifer could even start.
"Uhhhh yeah... Something like that, Dad" Jennifer added.
"What are you two talking about?" Bill wanted know.
"Pretty much it's like Kayla said. I don't understand it all myself. We're kinda, like, as shocked as you!" Jennifer said.
"Shocked? I don't even know what the hell you're talking about! How 'bout somebody making some sense?" Bill replied.
"Geeez..... I don't know how else to say it. We came home and mom was YOUNG! She's a teenager again. She, like, found the Fountain of Youth or something" Jennifer told her still confused father,
"See... I am still not following... It sounds like you are trying to tell me your mother has turned into a kid? You mean she's dressed up like a kid for something?" Bill asked as he tried to make sense of things.
Marcia had been listening to the goings on. It sounded like a good time to make her entrance.
"TADA!" Marcia said as she entered the room and twirled around modeling her plaid skirt and white top. It made her look just like a schoolgirl. "I guess you could say I am dressing like a teen... cause, like, I AM one!" Marcia giggled at her comment and at the look of shock on Bill's face.
"Ok... quit fooling around you guys! Where's your mother.
"I'm right HERE, Bill!" she said "Don't you recognize me?"
Bill shook his head and rolled his eyes in frustration. He didn't have time for these games.
"It's her, Dad!" Kayla said.
"Dad, I'm still as freaked out as you are but it's her" Jennifer added.
"OK... well... let's see... my wife is now barely older than my daughters? ...I'm married to a teenage hottie? Well, I can play along. I guess if you are my wife you'll have no problem kissing me... AND... using a little tongue!" Bill said jokingly figuring that should end this little charade.
Marcia giggled, shrugged, and headed straight toward Bill. She got on her tip-toes and kissed him... with tongue!
"Believe me NOW, hubby?" Marcia asked still giggling.
Jennifer and Kayla laughed. Bill was too shocked to say anything. His face was blank. He half expected the police to bust thru the door at any minute. He had to collect his thoughts before he could even speak.
"What'd you do that for?" Bill asked "What's wrong you?"
"I just did what you said.... I'm your wife... Get used to it!"
Kayla brought the high school yearbook for Bill to see. "See??? There's mom... They're the same!" Kayla told him pointing to her mother's picture.
"Look at that hair!" Bill said motioning with his hands at the side of his head "BIG hair! Wish I'd had stock in Aqua Net back then!"
"HEY!" Marcia complained feigning anger. "So do ya, like, believe me now?"
"Give me the story" he said "I believe it just enough that I want to hear more before decide just what to believe"
"Ok... here we go again... I was, like, feeling all tired and stuff... cuz... I was like getting old...older anyway... And so I've been dieting and working out... and like.... you know...stuff? I mean, every morning I'd look in the mirror and go "Ewwwwwwww" and see a new wrinkle or gray hair or something. And my clothes... like... they were all so.... dull and boring.... but what else could I wear? I mean... like.... you know? So anyway, everybody's like so young these days.... except me.... or something like that. So I am, like, really pushing it this morning to... ummmm... try to get, like, in better shape or something. So I go really far. And I was, like, outta breath and, like, starting to hurt... so I stopped in to catch my breath and this guy, like... told me he had what I wanted... or could fill my dreams or something. So, I'm like, huh? And he's like 'In here'.. So, I'm like... ~OK~ and he like locks me in for a little bit so I don't get out until I'm ready. I felt great too! And then when I got home I kinda saw why! I'm young again! It's sooooooooooooo cool!!!"
"What did you say?" Bill ask as he looked to Jennifer to translate.,
"Some guy offered to make her dream come true and I guess her dream was to be young again" Jennifer explained.
"That's impossible!" Bill said.
"Mission Impossible, right here!" Marcia said as she blew a bubblegum bubble. "Us girls are all cool with it too" Marcia added "Are you, like, cool with it?"
Bill scanned his 19 year old wife up and down. What wasn't to like!? Talk about a trophy wife! He started imagining her in all kinds and manners of dress... and undress! Bikinis, short shorts, high heels, short tops... It was too good to be true. He still wasn't sure if this was real though. It LOOKED real... but it was so far-fetched.
"Uhhh What's not to like... you're beautiful" he stammered as he accepted the story.
"You really think I'm pretty!?" she asked.
"Are you serious??? If the kids weren't here I'd ask you to.... Ummmmmm nevermind... the kids ARE here!" he said without finishing his thought.
Marcia giggled and winked at him. She knew what he meant.
Kayla and Jennifer groaned.
"How about another kiss?" Bill asked.
"Sure! If your old heart can handle it" Marcia said as she looked up into his eyes.
She landed another kiss on him but this time wasn't as passionate. Something felt weird about it. She backed away.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"The girls are here..." she said making an excuse. That wasn't it. Maybe it was part of it but there was more. It seemed wrong to be kissing Bill like that. At least right now. She wasn't sure exactly what the problem was herself. It just felt different and wrong ...Especially with her sisters watching.
Then she realized they weren't really her sisters but it surely seemed like it. She remembered thinking that morning how easy Jennifer and Kayla had it being kids... and how hard it was being a parent.... and growing old.
She knew that deep down that morning she'd wished she could be one of them... a sister... to have a more carefree life. Surely, that wasn't part of her 'dream' she wondered? Had she not only lost her age but was she also losing her wisdom? Her desire to be a parent? Even her -ability- to be a parent? She had to admit things certainly felt different now.
Was it just being young or was it something more?
"How bout I take you shopping and buy you some new things?" Bill asked his youthened wife as he contemplated having a say in what she wore.
"Ummm... I can just, like, borrow Jennifer's stuff for now" Marcia replied still lost in thought "We're about the same size"
He didn't want to see his young trophy wife wearing his daughter's clothing. He had different ideas!
"....Besides... me an Jennifer have plans" she lied.
"We do??" Jennifer asked.
"Yeah.... " Marcia said and winked at Jennifer. Marcia knew Bill could be boring and right now he was kind of creeping her out the way he kept looking at her. Like he was dressing and undressing her in his mind. With him acting like that she didn't think this was a good time to tell him that she'd regained her virginity and wasn't wanting to give it up just yet.... especially the way he was giving her the creeps...
