"Spooky"
Part 1

This is story about a wrist watch. No ordinary wrist watch either. This watch has an amazing and terrible power. Although I don't understand why or how it works exactly. All I know is my life has been turned upside down since I got this watch. My name is Jessica Hope and it all started when turned 16 years-old. I got the watch has a birthday present from Uncle Scott. Uncle Scott was traveling the world and going to different places nearly every week this year. This was the first time I can remember him not stopping by to see me at my birthday party. My family always had a little get together every year. This year my Uncle had my gift sent to me by mail. The package arrived on same day as my birthday.
If I only knew how much trouble that little brown package was going to cause I would of never open it for the world. My birthday was back in October and always get Halloween theme type gift from my uncle. This year it was wrist watch with funny looking skeleton with a spider on the face. There is only a few numbers on face of the watch and to my disappointment it wasn't digital watch. The watch also has black leather straps and only 1 knob on it. When I first pick up the watch I felt something on the back of the watch. It was a word scratched into the steel case of the watch; "Spooky". I smiled at the name and thought it was silly for a watch to have a name. I looked back inside the package for a birthday card or note and only found a piece of paper which read: "Hope this watch gives you plenty of time ? Love Uncle Scotty". I was a little embarrassed that Uncle Scott still remembered my nickname for him from when I was a lot younger.
I guess the watch's power must have first been activated when I was late for school. I was still learning how to drive and not being morning person I always had trouble getting up. Most of the time I managed to catch the school bus, but today wasn't my day for being on time. I missed the bus and no choice but to run to school. I didn't live far away and it was only a 20 minute walk. Riding the bus only takes 10 minutes, giving anyone plenty of time to get ready for classes. I dressed in a hurry and quickly strapped on my watch before running down the street at top speed. I must have been wishing that it was an hour earlier so I be early to school instead of being late. I didn't notice a small green flash come from the watch, but I did hear it chime. I stopped to have a look to see how much time I had left and to my surprise I had an hour before school. Confused I looked at the watch again. "It can't be," I said to myself then I looked around and saw a bank clock telling me it really was 7:30 A.M.
Thinking to myself that I must have mistaken the time back at the house, I walked the rest of way to school. The rest of the day went by normally enough, but if I had been awake instead of sleeping that night and had looked at the watch exactly at midnight I would have seen a strange sight. The hands on the watch went backwards exactly 1 hour and I felt a little chill in my body. Because I was asleep I never saw it and only pulled the covers closer to my body when the chill came.
Spooky Part 2

It was about a week before Halloween when the next strange event happened. This was more pronounced than the last one. It was just after gym class and I was changing clothes in the locker room. Sara Miller walked in only a minute after I did. She was the kind of person who loved to pick on others and tease them about their physical faults. Lucky for me the locker was empty because everyone else had already gotten dressed and left for the next class. At the time I hadn't realized how lucky it was.
"Hey, what are you still doing here?" barked Sara.
"Nothing," I replied calmly while putting on my watch and closing the band around my wrist and slipping on my shoes in a hurry.
"Nothing, huh? You know there is fee for being the last one in the locker room?" Sara said.
I blushed a little at her comment. I was still somewhat underdeveloped and always waited for the locker room to empty out before I changed. Sara have sensed this.
Sara saw her moment to insult me.
"Perhaps you don't want people to see what a baby you are? Just look at the childish watch you are wearing. " Sara said with a evil grin.
Unnoticed by either of us, the watch started glowing a faint green.
Angry with her I stood up and said "You're the one who's pathetic, Sara. Always picking on anyone smaller than you. "
I turned to leave for the door. Suddenly, I felt Sara's hand on my wrist. She managed to slip the watch off of it as she pushed me down.
Stunned for a moment I watch her drop the watch to the ground and prepare to step on it.
"I think losing your stupid watch to teach you a little respect!" she said as she raised her foot.
"Noooooo?" I cried.
Just as she started to bring her foot down, the watch glowed so brightly that it temporarily blinded us both. When my eyes refocused I saw Sara standing a few feet away from the watch looking a little dazed.
Then I noticed something strange. She was shrinking, no she was getting younger. Her strapless tank top was slowly deflating like two balloons that sprung a leak. Her face became more childlike and sprouted freckles. Her hair was retreating back into her head. Her shorts and panties slipped down her slimmer body giving me a view of her now hairless vagina.
Her eyes seem to cry out for help and she looked like she was too shocked to speak. I wondered how old she was now. Seven - maybe younger. It was amazing to see baby fat returning to her body. I stood and picked up the watch which was still glowing with that strange green light.
"The watch did this. It had to be the watch." I murmured to myself.
Pleadingly I said "Please stop, Spooky" I had barely remembered the name of my watch.
Th glowing stopped almost as soon as the words were out of my mouth. I looked where little 6-year-old Sara had been and saw the she had lost two more years in the time it took me to pick up the watch. Now she was nothing more then a naked 4-year-old toddler standing in the middle of her former teen clothing.
"Maybe you should have worn a T-shirt instead of that strapless top?" I said with a little smile.
Sara only looked at me with innocent eyes. She was so cute and I couldn't believe that such a beautiful little girl could ever become a bully. Sara slowly nodded her head the way a child does when a adult tells them something that is very important.
Sara started to shake.
Now concerned for this helpless little girl I asked "Are you scared, Sara?"
"No," she replied with a Mickey Mouse like voice.
"Cold," she said holding herself.
"How old are you Sara?" I asked, already knowing the answer would be.
"Four" she said while she held up four little fingers.
The watch had not only taken her years away, but had also changed her mind to fit her new age.
I wanted to savor this moment a little longer and make sure I wasn't going to land in trouble. I didn't think there was any law against making someone younger against their will.
I asked her "Do you remember where you before?"
"Day kaew" she said as she sat drawing her knees up to get more body heat from her legs. She was sitting in a ball position now.
I walked back to my locker and pulled out a spare shirt I kept in there.
"Here you go, sweety," I said with sweet smile as I slipped the shirt over her head. The shirt was very old and too small for me now. On her small form the bottom touched the ground. I picked her up and held her with my left arm. She wrapped her little arms around my neck and shifted her body close to mine for warmth and comfort.
I almost laughed as I thought, "Here is big bad Sara Miller, helpless as a baby in my arms.
Then fear flooded my system. What I am supposed to do now. How in the world am I going to explain that Sara Miller is nothing more then a toddler now.
"How can I tell everyone she is a baby?" I whisper to myself, thinking out loud.
"Not a ba be, Big gurl" Sara said and started to cry.
"shhhhhhhhh," I said trying to clam her down.
"I want my mommy!" she said with tears starting to really flow.
I looked toward my watch and softly said "Help me!"
A small green glow appeared around the watch and the same glow surrounded Sara's discarded clothes. They vanished with a small flash. I looked and Sara's locker was empty just like the place where her clothes had been. Then an idea stuck me like a bolt of lighting - maybe the existence of 17-yr-old Sara Miller had been erased and replaced by 4-year-old Sara Miller.
"I hope so," I thought as I carried little Sara to the Principle's office.
It was little bit of shock for the principle's secretary to see a 16-yr-old girl carry a toddler into the office. As I set Sara down on the counter with her feet dangling off the edge Mrs. Williams asked "And where did you came from little angel?" while looking from Sara to me.
"I found her in the locker room with nothing on."
Mrs. Williams nearly laughed out loud, and smiled warmly.
"Day Kay" Sara said in answer to Mrs. Williams question.
"Ohhh?.you must have snuck out of that daycare just across the school ground," She said with a amused smile. "Lets give them a call and see if they can come and get you."
I had butterflies in my stomach as Mrs. Williams called the daycare.
"Yes, this is Mrs. Williams over at Eastern High School. One of our students found a toddler wondering inside the school, Are you missing any of your children over there? "
"OK," Mrs. Williams said with a smile. "Let me check"
"Is your name Sara Miller dear?" she asked the toddler.
Sara nodded her head up and down.
"Yup, we have her over here. OK, Goodbye." said Mrs. Williams as she put the phone back down on the receiver.
"I was right. Little Sara went to the bathroom and didn't come back. They found her clothes in the bathroom and the window slightly open. Her mother and the police are already over there. Her mother is now coming over here to pick her up. She has been lost for a good 20 minutes, according to the daycare," explained Mrs. Williams
At last the butterflies in my stomach were gone. Little Sara was happy to see her mother and vice versa. As thanks for finding her baby, Mrs. Miller offered me a job baby-sitting Sara.
I gladly accepted and wondered if I could prevent Sara from becoming a bully the second time around.
"After all of this drama,I got the principal to excuse you from school for the rest of the day." Mrs. Williams said has she handed me a note to give to my teacher before I walked home.
For hours after that I still wondered if I was really awake or still in my bed at home dreaming.
I was happy it was Friday, so I could get two full days to recover from what I had just seen. That night I turned the watch over and over in my fingers with a thousand questions in my head about my birthday watch. It was nearly 3 hours later before I gently set the watch down on the night stand and went to sleep. It was 11:55 p.m.
At midnight the watch glowed slightly and hands on the watch moved backwards exactly 13 times. A very small and almost inaudible laugh came from the watch. The kind of laugh you hear when a great trick or joke has been pulled on someone.
Chapter 3: "A Little Kiss"
by
Libra
I was little afraid to wear Spooky over the weekend. My dreams were no help about my fears toward Spooky. Nightmares kept coming into my normally pleasant dreams nearly every night. In the worst one, I was dancing with Brad Conners, a boy I had a crush on who lived down the street. We had always been very good friends and I was overjoyed when he ask me to the dance. Brad nd I were just dancing in the middle of school gym in the dream. He asked me if I would be his baby forever and without thinking I said yes. My wrist watch glowed and I found myself looking up at Brad and all my friends who were now surrounding me making funny faces and saying how cute I was as a baby. Suddenly I was trapped in a crib crying out for someone to help me and all that came out of my mouth was baby talk.
"No?" I cried as I nearly jumped out of my bed. I quickly looked around my room to make sure I was still the right age. Everything was still the same and TV was still on with the volume a little louder than it should of have been. Finding the remote and clicking the TV off I stared out the window at the new snow now falling through the darkness of the night. It was now Wednesday and Halloween night was only a few days away. The Dance would be on the night before Halloween and my baby-sitting job would be on Halloween night. The middle school and high school had their dances on the same night every year.
On Saturday night I would have to take little Sara trick-or-treating because her parents were going to a Halloween party and wouldn't be back until well after 1:00 a.m. Mrs. Miller promised extra pay for the extra leg work.
My friend Amber Smith would be helping me out. Me and Amber had been friends since I first moved here. Those who didn't know that we were best friends often mistook us for sisters and wouldn't have been able to tell us apart if it wasn't for the difference in our hair colors.
I finally summoned enough courage to put the watch on again and finally tell someone about Spooky. I told Amber to come over my house as soon as possible. A few hours of hanging out passed before I told Amber everything.
"NO WAY!, your joking!" said Amber just after I finished with my story.
"True, every word of it" I said keeping a serious and straight face.
"Really? Then how come I don't remember Sara Miller being any older than 4-years-old?" Amber asked with a hint of doubt in her voice.
"Like I said, it erased her old existence I guess," I said with a serious tone.
"Hmmm?..OK, I've got an idea. Remember what we dress up as the first Halloween after you moved out here?" Amber said with a smirk on her face.
"It was the princess costumes wasn't it?" I said with a small smile. I wonderded where this was going. Amber knew I still had my old costume in my closet. I guessed she wanted me to be the right age to wear it.
"Yeah, look inside my backpack." Amber said with little triumph in her voice.
It was her old princess costume from when we were preteen girls. She must have been digging through the old boxes in her parent's basement to find it. We both had very happy memories of those costumes. We had gathered the biggest stash of candy any kid would ever hope to see in our neighborhood on that Halloween night long ago and then had a sleepover the same night where we shared and traded our candy.
"Before I was just going chat about this old costume and good times, but if that watch can really make people younger then make me young enough to fit into this costume!" Amber said with a victory smile already on her face.
For Amber seeing was believing.
"Are you really sure you want to do this Amber?" I said with little fear in my voice. Putting Sara back into those diaper type nighties was one thing. I couldn't bear losing my best friend to wearing diapers for a few years.
"I'll forgive yah if I am a baby again" Amber said as she stuck her thumb in her mouth and pretended to suck a few times.
"OK, Spooky make Amber here into a child again so she can wear her costume, but younger only in body not in mind" I added quickly so Spooky didn't start before I could finished my sentence.
Then I heard it for the first time. The watch gave a little laugh and started to glow.
Amber looked doubtfully at the watch and then wondered how in the world Jessica made it laugh.
"Whoa?I feel a little strange, Jess" Amber said as she looked down at her body.
"Hey, check it out! I am getting younger!" Amber said as she kicked off her now oversized shoes and socks.
"Hey, now my baggy jeans are really baggy now " She said with a smile.
I watched with fear and nervous anticipation as my best friend from childhood reappeared to me. Along with her shoes and socks, Amber simply stepped out of her pants and underwear and walked over to the full length mirror. Her shirt now hung a little bit past her knees.
"Cool!?.." she said in her new little girl's voice then went into a fit of giggles.
"Do I really sound like that?" Amber said with a smile looking at me in the mirror.
"Kinda," I said with a grin.
"Kinda funny not to have anything upstairs. Flat as a pancake too." she said as she rubbed her right hand across her preteen chest. I happened to glimpse her other hand in the mirror as it was grabbing for a quick feel of her crotch. I think she was checking if she had any hair left and judging from her face I'd say she was quite bare now.
"OK, Spooky change her back to right age now" I said to Spooky
Nothing happened.
"Oh-No, what's wrong?" I asked myself
"Don't you remember Jess?" Amber said laughing.
"What!?" I said with my mind racing on what I did wrong.
"The costume, how do you know I am the right age and size to wear it? Help me put it on. It would go faster if I had my big bestest friend to help me." Amber said with a her best smile.
"I always wanted a little sister," I joked back to Amber. To anyone watching she might have been my little sister for her body showed no hint of teenhood anymore. After I slipped her shirt up over her head, Amber turned away so I could not fully see how much her body had dwindled. I helped her into the Princess costume and zipped it up.
"Wow?I am cute! Aren't I?" Amber said as she looked herself over in the mirror.
"Yeah, to middle school boys maybe," I said with sarcasm in my voice. "Let's change your back now, Amber." The thrill of this was wearing off for me.
"Not yet. Let me have a little fun first," Amber said in a very excited voice.
I could almost see the whirlwind of thoughts and ideas behind her new somewhat innocent eyes. I would have bet all the money I had in the world that most were about boys.
"Hey didn't your little brother have a crush on me when I first started to come over" Amber said with a huge cheek to cheek grin.
"Yeah, still does to this day I think" I said with a smile. I thought I was catching on to what Amber had in mind.
"How about I give him a little kiss?" she said with a fit of giggles.
"No? Don't you dare." I said. But before I could stop her, Amber was already out in the hallway.
Now they were about the same age. Actually, I think Tommy was a little older then Amber now.
"Amber!" I hissed as she bolted down the hallway.
"Shhhh?" Amber said as she crept into Tommy's room.
My half-asleep little brother was in the bathroom brushing his teeth when the first girl of his dreams popped around the corner wearing a cute princess dress. He had been around six when he had first felt the rush of puppy love for her.
"Hi, Tommy." Amber said in her sweetest voice.
"Amber? How did you get so small?" Tommy said as he wiped away the last of his bubble-gum flavor mouthwash away. He had kept a few pictures of Amber through the years and knew her face by heart now.
"Come over here to the bed Tommy," She said not intending to answer any questions he had.
Tommy's eyes were fixed on Amber as I watched through the crack in the doorway. The crack was just big enough to let me see from the outer edge of doorway to the bathroom to a full view of Tommy's bed. Amber had taken his hand and led him over to the bed. They both sat on the edge and I watched with such amusement I could not almost stand it.
"Would you like to kiss me Tommy?" Amber said, leaning forward before he could think about his answer.
Tommy was 12-years-old and already starting to like girls. A 10 to 12-year-old Amber would be his number one choice. Before this moment the possibility had only been dream.
"ye ?yes," Tommy said with a dry throat. He was already close enough tp smell her sweet breath.
It was quick kiss on lips that only lasted a few seconds. Then Amber jumped up from the bed and ran out of the room.
Tommy blushed slightly as they kissed and then sat frozen in a state of shock for a minute.
I was already backing toward my bedroom door when I saw Amber jump up. Tommy was completely stunned that a cute girl had just walked into his room and given him a peck on the lips.
Amber was nearly as red as her hair from giggling after the little kiss. His bubble-gum mouthwash was really sweet and so was his lips.
"Hurry, ask Spooky to change me back now. Before you brother comes in here looking for his dream girl" Amber said. She was nearly out of breath from the excitement and running.
Amber had quickly slipped out of the princess outfit, flipped her shirt on, and quickly yanked her underwear and pants up to her chest. She looked just like a 10 year-old girl who didn't know to exactly how to play dress-up quite right. I turned around and picked up Spooky from the dresser table.
"OK, Spooky change her back to her right age!" I said with my own fit of giggles nearly stopping me from speaking.
Hard to say how fast she was growing with her holding her clothes like that, but she quickly filled out her clothes. Except for the bra that she had forgotten to put back on - I kicked it under the bed when I heard Tommy's door gently hit the wall. After Amber made a few quick readjustments to her clothing we were ready to carry out the rest of our joke. She had already put the princess outfit inside of her bag and got into position just in time.
"No way, I say Robert is cuter!" Amber said just like if we were in the middle of serious conversation about boys.
"Hi?" Tommy said has he knock and enter the room slowly. Amber's face wasn't complete back to normal yet. She still had a little red blush left around the cheeks.
"Yes, Tommy?" said Amber with such sweetness in her voice that it made Tommy blush red again.
"Did you see anyone or see something strange?" Tommy asked with a very confused look on his face
"No," Amber sounding a little unbelievable.
"Nope," I said while I held back my own laughter.
For a full two seconds Tommy was looking down toward his feet and thinking hard.
"Amber, do you have a sister?" Tommy asked with a little bit of hope in his voice.
"No, Tommy I don't. If I did would you like her more than me?" Amber asked trying to get another blush from young Tommy.
Not wanting to blush again. Tommy ignored the question and walked back out of the room.
"OK?.Goodnight" Tommy said. More confused then ever and wondering whether his exciting experience was nothing more than a waking dream, Tommy slowly walked back to his room and pulled the door almost completely shut. Just the way it had been before his dream girl had walked in. Maybe a part of him hoped she would return if he made things just exactly as they were before.
If I hadn't turned on the TV at that moment, Tommy would have heard the laughter that exploded out my room that night.
Shortly after that, Amber and I said our good-byes and she left for her house (with her bra back on). I didn't know it at the time, but Amber couldn't stop thinking how cute Tommy was when she had been his age and how sweet it was that he still carried a torch for her. His lips were nearly as sweet as that mouthwash she thought. She made up her mind that very soon she have to become young enough for him again. She had no doubt that if she was a little younger or he was a little older she would be going steady with him for sure.
I crawled into bed without bothering to take off any of my school clothes and gently undid the band on my watch.
"Thanks, Spooky that was fun." I said as I laid the watch on the dresser table.
Then I saw it happen - the watch hands went backwards again exactly 10 hours then forward to midnight. "What did that mean?" I wondered to myself. The time was right, it was exactly midnight according to my wall clock.
Too tired to think anymore I rolled over and went to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be the big school dance.
"Spooky"
Chapter 4: "Getting Ready"
by
Libra
It wasn't until Friday, the day of dance, that I asked Spooky for the next favor. Amber had been shocked on her way home the night she left my house. Her current boyfriend Chris Wiggins was making out with Cindy Turner on her parent's porch just two blocks down from where I live. I didn't know Chris well, but he seemed nice enough. Amber loved boys who were nice, honest, and sweet. Amber arrived that morning before school and talk while as we rode the bus. Our chat only lasted for three minutes. Amber was furious and wanted to take out some revenge.
"If I had a watch like yours, Jessica, they would both be in diapers now," she said, still a little steamed.
"Good thing you don't have one. Didn't you kiss a boy last night or don't you remember?" I said to calm her down.
"You didn't see them - it was no little kiss," Amber said turning away to look out the window.
"Besides I already broke up with him after I told him what I saw. He claims he didn't touch her. I thought I could trust him," Amber said with bitterness in her voice.
"You could always take my little brother to the prom. I am sure he would say yes in a minute" I said, trying to defuse the unpleasant quiet moment.
"Ha, why not" Amber said in a very serious tone.
"Come on, Amber I was joking. He look silly at the High School Prom" I said nearly laughing at the mental image of my little brother dancing with tall beautiful 16-year-old Amber.
"Why not the middle school prom?" Amber said quickly.
"You want to be little Amber-lina again?" I said, making a lame joke toward Hans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina.
"We could make your brother older and we both could become young again?" Amber said with new hope in her voice.
"Let me think about it. I am not sure this is a good plan. " I said as I began to think everything over.
It was a long quiet two minutes before we got to school. It was in study hall that I finally made my decision and it was Brad that helped me. He wanted to go out to Make-out Point right after the prom and with the look he gave me I was ready to say no. Then I started thinking. Brad had been a gentlemen all these years. Our relationship had grown from friendship into something more and that was wonderful. I felt that just one more year of our relationship in its current form would be enough. But I knew Brad couldn't wait. If I didn't take the next step, it would doom us to be just friends for the rest of our lives.
I thought it might be better to have him feel lucky to get to 2nd base instead of home base tonight. He really was perfect for me. With Spooky around I could delay anything for as long as I needed too. I spent the rest of the hour making up the plan in my head while Brad had a smile on face that I thought it was dead giveaway to what he thought he would be doing tonight.
Maybe it was just me. After all I had known Brad a long time now. I smiled as I thought maybe I would know him longer with Spooky around.
But the first question was what age to be. Amber's temporary age from the other night was a little too young. No boobs and a boyish body wouldn't be much fun even with Amber around. Maybe a later non-preteen age like thirteen popped into my head. Perfect I thought, couldn't have a better number for a Halloween party. Me and Amber will be at least a little developed body-wise, but not by too much. We would still have cotton bras and underwear at that age. Little Tommy would still be too embarrassed to even ask out much less dance with a 13-year-old Amber. I'd have to give him an age boost before the dance started.
"I still think Chris and Cindy in diapers would be better" Amber said after I told her my plan on the way back to my house.
"You could always stay at home instead," I said knowing full well that Amber would rather die than miss any party.
"OK, but are you sure thirteen is old enough? I felt so much like a little girl when I 10-years-old again"
"Yeah, its a good age. Besides, its not like any of us are driving there. You know my mom promised to take all of us in her van. None of us has a car or a truck and walking to prom is silly" I said with touch of bitterness in my voice for once. I was only halfway there with a down payment for my own car.
"So, where do we begin?" asked Amber with excitement once again in her voice.
"You know?" I said with the most devilish tone and smile I ever truly had.
"Tommy! You home little bro!?" I said with a smile.
"Yeah, In the TV room" Tommy answered back just two rooms away.
"Come on, up to my room" I said to Amber.
"Ready? " I asked Amber.
"Spooky, make Amber here 13-years-old to the rest of world except for me and Amber herself" I said in a voice that sounded like I was casting a spell. I guess in strange way I was casting a spell.
Amber stood in front of the mirror waiting for herself to shrink out of her clothes like before, but it didn't happen. Instead her clothes grew smaller and more childish has she grew younger. Besides decreased height the other very noticeable feature was her now much smaller breasts.
"Still think this is too young for a date" Amber stated.
"It kept you out of trouble for tonight anyway" I said with a grin.
"Hey, check it out." Amber said with surprised as she open her slightly smaller backpack. To my surprise as well as Amber's her Princess costume looked and felt brand new.
"Looks Bigger too" Amber said after a careful moment of looking it over. She had to be sure because she was little smaller then before a few seconds ago.
"I think it will fit you" I said with very sure tone.
"Come on, leave the dress here. Time for my brother's turn." I said. We have only 2 hours left before the dance.
Me and Amberlina snuck down the steps and slipped behind where Tommy was sitting.
"Spooky make Tommy a true 12-year-old to the world except for me and Amber," I whisper to my watch.
The changes were small. Clothing didn't change much except for size. Mostly a taller and better built body and soon to be discovered a deeper voice.
"Its funny our birthdays only a month apart now." said Amber.
"I hope he likes older girls" Amber said with a evil grin.
With that Amber quietly walked into the room. I soon followed her.
"Hey Tommy" I said as I walked over to the open closet door. Pretending to look for my dress coat for a few seconds. I saw it back and shifted my eyes and look for in the front looking over all the other coats first.
"Hey," Tommy replied without taking his eyes off the TV screen.
"You know Amber from just down the road. She wanted to stop in and see you." I said with smile when I saw Tommy sat up and took his eyes off the screen for the first time.
"I be up in my room if you all need anything." I said to both of them when I saw Amber taking a seat not too far from Tommy.
"Sure," he said without even a look toward me.
"OK," Amber said sounding just a like guest in our house.
As I left the room I heard Amber jump right to the point.
"Doing anything tonight?" Amber asked Tommy as she stared toward the TV.
Already knowing where this conversation was going I was already walking up the stairs to get my costume dress out of the closet. As I climbed the stairs I went ahead and ask Spooky to change Brad to a true 13-year-old to the world except to me and Amber of course.
I wonder how cute he looked now compared to his former self. As I opened the old costume bag and took it out of the plastic bag Amber walked in with a smile that said she had a date.
"Your brother is a lot braver than before. I barely mentioned the dance and he just asked me." she said with a bit of old giggles returning.
"Your turn! " Amber nearly shouted.
She had been waiting for me to use the watch on myself for a while now. I pick up my costume dress and held it in my hands and made my wish to Spooky.
Amber was right - it was a strange feeling at first. A slightly cold feeling at first then warm. The world seemed to grow all around me. What was even more amazing my room changed in a quick blur. Not by much, but it went from mature teen's room to a more preteen type room.
"More pink in here than I remembered," Amber stated as she stared around.
"I supposed my room changed back home," Amber said with a curious face as she look out the window toward her house.
"Lets get ready!" I told Amber. No telling when Brad was coming over and my mom will be home any minute now.
We both quickly got into our new princess costumes and I was right - both of us had cotton underwear on underneath.
"Its not too bad" I said as I look at myself in the mirror. I was still a little worried that my nightmare would come to life.
"Just think, I'm a virgin again," Amber said with a laugh.
"I thought you said you didn't do it yet?" I said, thinking Amber was still a virgin
"Remember Bobby the boy next door to me? Before his family moved away a few months ago," Amber said with a touch of red coming into her cheeks.
"No, you weren't old enough," I said little shocked.
"Neither was he," Amber said as she tried to control her embarrassment. It was a lot harder than before. She felt so full of energy now.
"Was going to tell you soon. Then that watch made me forgot all about telling you about Bobby," Amber said as she looked at the wrist watch.
"Hey your mommy is home" Amber said with a giggle as she watched the van pull up the driveway.
"Good, come on Amberlina" I said with a smile.
"Hey girls, are you ready for the Halloween party?" asked Mrs. Hope as she walked in.
"Yeah!" Me and Amber almost said in unison.
"Who are you bringing Amber?" asked Mrs. Hope.
"Tommy," Amber said with a bright smile.
"My Tommy?" Mrs. hope asked with little bit of surprise in her voice. She always thought he was a little shy around girls.
"Yup, He asked me today."
"Oh," said Mrs. Hope as she smile.
It would be the last chance for him to ask Amber out. Thought Mrs. Hope.
The doorbell rang just at that moment. I nearly ran to the door, eager to see Brad a little younger than the last time I saw him today at school.
The freckles on his face alone was worth the wait. I had forgotten so such much about him at that age. We only kiss at the end of the first summer when we were kids and before we both started high school. Things have changed a lot since those days from my point of view anyway.
"Hi," I said in a voice a little higher in pitch then normal.
"Hi," Brad replied in almost as high a pitch as me.
"Come on in," My mom said to break the small silent moment. We were just stonding there looking at each other. He was wearing a makeshift knight type costume.
"Tommy, You ready yet?" Mrs. Hope shouted up the stairs as Brad came in and sat down by Amber to make some small chat. Good to see he was just has nervous as I was. The school hadn't started putting on the middle school Halloween parties until a year after I left middle school. Me and Brad had never gone to the middle school Halloween party.
"Yeah," said Tommy has he stomped down the stairs throwing his leather jacket over his shoulder. Tommy had made himself look like a boy from the 1950's.
"Come on, everyone into the van," Mrs. Hope ordered the group.
Me and Amber exchanged glances as we walked with our dates toward the garage to get into the van.
Chapter 5: "Halloween Party"
by
Libra
After a "Have a good time" from my mom we were walking into the middle school gym in no time. The last rays of sunlight that day were quickly fading.
The gym was done in a grand Halloween theme. It was more childish than the High school Halloween theme, but hands down there was more to do than just dance and rest. There was bowl after bowl of candy to pick from and a lot of different drinks to choose from too. Down the hallway was a haunted house and behind the school was a well lighted trail that looped back to the gym. The back doors to the gym lead to Haunted Trail according to the sign over doors. Just warm enough inside and outside so we could get by wearing a heavy dress or the boys could wear jeans. Snow that fallen from a few days ago had melted away already.
"It's all a dream," I whisper to Amber as we walked in.
"Sure feels like one doesn't it," Amber whispered back.
Not sure what the girls were talking about, Brad suggested to Tommy they should get some drinks.
"Shall we get our ladies some drinks?" Brad asked Tommy.
"What do you want to drink?" both Tommy and Brad ask their dates.
"Pumpkin Punch would be fine," we both reply one after the other.
"Are you excited as I am?" Amber asked me.
"Yeah," I replied. Amber was right, it was a little thrilling to be young again. There was like a ball of energy in me that felt like I could on forever this way.
"Here your go my princess," Brad said in a rehearsed bold voice. As I took the paper cup from his left hand. I smile at him as I thought how sweet it was that he spent so much time thinking about how to act on our little date.
Amber took her drink from Tommy as they both walked toward the back of the gym to either dance or take the haunted trail, I thought.
"You wanna?.Dance," Brad said not making too much eye contact and going slightly red.
"Sure," I said and thinking maybe we were too young now. I tossed my paper cup in the trash and walked out to the dance floor with Brad. Brad was so nervous just being my date. I hoped we weren't going to be dancing all night. I really wanted to take a walk with him and hold hands again like when we first started dating.
Amber and Tommy had disappeared somewhere. I hope she doesn't get into trouble I though to myself. I grin as I thought I might be baby-sitting two little girls this time tomorrow just to teach her a lesson for a little while.
"What are you thinking?" Brad asked nervously when he took my hands to slow dance to the song that was now playing.
"Nothing." I smiled back. "Brad, remember our kiss last summer?"
"Yes," Brad replied with a little redness in his cheeks.
"I really liked it." I said.
"Really?, I thought because you ran away from me that day you didn't ever want to talk about it." Brad said with a stunned look on his face.
"I was little surprised, that's all," I said. "You'd never said or done anything before that." I added.
"I was scared too." Brad confessed in almost a whisper.
I lean into him more and allow him to wrap his hands around me while we dance for what seemed like forever.
Before this night it took Brad nearly a year to ask me to go the movies with him without any of our friends.
"Do you want to sit down for a while?" asked Brad after a long time of slow dancing.
"Yes," I replied, feeling a bit of relief. I was getting a little tired now of just dancing, but it was wonderful all the same.
"Hey Jess!" I heard Amber said has she and Tommy took their seats at the table.
"How was the trail?" I said with a small grin.
"Good, a little boring because nothing to scare you out there." Amber said with little frown. "Me and Tommy saw that they are playing a movie in one of the classrooms," she said with a bit more cheer.
"Which one?" I asked as looked down the hall.
"One of the Harry Potter ones I think. " Amber said with a smile.
"OK" I said now turning my face back to her face.
Judging from Tommy's face and body movements they had done nothing more then held hands as they walked and talked for a while.
"Seen them all," I said to Amber.
"Haunted house then?" Brad jumped in.
"OK," we both said.
Haunted House was more like a fun house with mazes, fog and strobe lights. Me and Brad had taken a wrong turn and somehow gotten behind one of walls and found our selves falling through the back door and outside of the building.
"You OK?" Brad asked as he help me up.
"Yeah that was fun, but way too loud." I said as a heard the sounds now muffled by the windows and door.
"Its locked!" Brad said with little a bit of panic.
"We could find another way in?" I said hopefully.
"Finally," I thought, "Here's a chance for a little walk."
"OK," Brad said with little cheer in his voice.
"Not the picture perfect date I wanted," Brad said as we started walking back around to the gym.
"It's been perfect so far," I said.
We walked slowly and on purposed to delay ourselves in getting back too soon. It had been better than I'd hoped, but it was getting colder now.
"Hey, this door is unlocked." Brad said with little bit of stutter in his voice. He was getting as cold as I was.
We walked in and felt the heat from the vents almost as soon as we stepped in.
"We walked down to the elementary school," Brad said with little shock in his voice.
Curious, I had never seen it because I had only attended Middle and High school here.
"Check it out, its my old classroom. " Brad said as he opened the door.
It was cute to say the least. ABC Letters on the tops of the walls and little desks and chairs in the room.
"It is cute." I said still looking around. I was still a little numb and didn't want to head back yet.
Brad had moved back to me and gently touched his hands to my waist. Looking into his eyes and then shutting them as we tilted our heads to kiss. Before it had been simply a childish peck on the cheek.
I moved my hands down his small back to give his butt a quick squeeze and could feels his sliding up under my dress and cotton bra.
It was like a full static shock when I felt his warm hands on my small breasts. They had become more sensitive than I remembered.
We held our embrace a moment longer then return our hands to hold each others hand.
Both of us were dazed and feeling each other's body heat was great.
"That was good," I said as we held each other.
Worn out from our little lover's embrace. We both sat down on the mats in the corner of the room.
Brad was looking guilty as hell as I watched him sit down.
"I didn't mean too grab them, it just happenedd," Brad said going nearly as red as the canyon figure behind him.
"Its OK, I really like it." I said smiling.
Wanting to embarrass him just a little bit more I ask him.
"Did you like the size of them?" I said grinning.
To my delight he turned even more red. There was something missing in our embrace. I didn't think of it till I was thinking back. When he was older I could always feel him go hard between his legs. Now with him so much younger the stiffness wasn't there but for only a few seconds.
Not wanting to make him feel too bad, I gently took his hands and guided them under my top and allowed him one more quick feel as we kissed.
To my pleasure and his he accepted willingly.
"Come on, we'd better get back." I said. The room was starting to make me nervous now. All the childish toys and posters were making me think of my nightmare.
I was getting scared of getting caught by a teacher and judging from Brad's face he agreed. We went down the hallway back toward the gym with our hands in an even tighter grip than before and hardly swinging them at all.
"There you are!" shouted Amber as she and Tommy came out of the classroom where the Harry Potter movie was playing.
"Looks like you two were on the trail." Amber said with a grin. Amber wasn't sure but she thought maybe Jessica had ditched them to sneak away for a quick kiss or two with Brad.
"Was the movie good?" I asked as I looked at her shirt. It was a bit more wrinkled than before.
"Yeah," Tommy and Amber said in almost unison. His ears were noticeably red like Brad's cheeks.
"The dance is over. We'd better get back to the gym. Your mom should be waiting." Amber said with sadness in her voice.
The night had to seem to fly by in a blur of events. After getting into the van and dropping Brad off at his house. Amber asked if I could stay over at her house. "Judging from their faces," Mrs. Hope smiled as she thought, "they'll talk all night about what is it like to kiss a boy."
"OK, but remember Jessica, you've got that babysitting job tomorrow. No staying up all night." She said with a smile.
"Don't bother going home, I've got extra clothes for Jessica to wear for tonight." Amber said with a small and unnoticed evil grin in the darkness of the van.
"OK," Mrs. Hope said. She didn't bother making a U-turn back to the house, but instead headed straight down the street toward Amber house.
"Don't forget!" my mom shouted has she pulled away.
Amber's parents would sometimes leaveher alone to take care of the house from time to time. She was an only child and they felt that would be a good experience for her.
"They are over at my Aunt's at a Halloween bash. They're staying overnight in a hotel because they don't want to drive back in the middle of the night," Amber said as she unlocked the door to her house.
We both bolted up the stairs to her room. I just had to see her room the way it had been so long ago.
"Ohhhhh!" Amber nearly screamed.
It had more dolls and soft cuddle animals than I ever could remember. Her walls were purple instead of pink like my room was.
After we got into some more comfortable clothes to sleep in Amber asked as we sat down on the bed: "So what did you and Brad really do?"
"Nothing much, Just a little kissing and touching," I confessed.
"Did it feel great, like you were getting shocked all over your body?" Amber asked with no doubt in her voice.
"Yeah it did. Hey, how did you know?" I said watching Amber's face closely.
"Your brother is still as shy as ever. He just held them as we watched the movie from the back row. The teacher that was supposed to watch us fell asleep halfway through the movie." Amber said while holding her breasts in a mocking way like Tommy had them.
"Stop, you're making me laugh too much," I said, fighting a stitch in my side.
"Hey, Why do you get that look sometimes when you look at Spooky?" Amber asked with little concern in her voice.
"Don't have a look." I lied quickly.
"Come on, I already know what it is. I just want to hear you say it," Amber said eagerly.
"How do you know?" I asked puzzled.
"I know you Jessica. Every time anyone said baby or diaper around you. You get that scared look. At first I thought you didn't want to think about having babies for a long time. Then I remembered how you get that look any time I mention diapers or Spooky" Amber explained.
"When you were scared of heights and I made you climb up that tree with me? You've got to face your fears, Jessica. " Amber said sternly.
"No way!, I not going to ask Spooky to do that!" I said with horror in my face.
"Come on, Jess if you don't you'll always be scared of Spooky. Put a time limit on how long you'll be affected. I promise to take care of you and make sure you return to your normal 16 year-old self," Amber said as she put her hand over her heart and raised her other hand to show the fingers were not crossed.
"I just don't like the idea of being helpless that's all." I explained. Then it hit me that Amber just wanted someone to take care for once. She had loved dolls for so long and had gotten nearly every type there was. With no siblings around she had never cared for anyone before. I always had to be the smart one and look after her these past years.
"Alright for one night only and no tricks, OK?" I asked her sternly.
"I pinkie swear!" Amber said with her right pinkie finger standing out waiting for me to do the same.
"Deal," I said as we did our pinkie finger shake. It has been some years since we did a pinkie promise.
"What I am going to wear? I not going naked all over the house. " I said with a chill in my spine.
"My mom's got a package of diapers just in case one my cousins ever visited and I am sure I've got some toddler clothes that were for my dolls around here somewhere." Amber said with a bright smile. This was her chance to have a little sister for one night at least.
There was part of me that wanted to make this adventure even more unreal than before. I knew Spooky only listened to me in the past. Amber had mentioned her ideas out loud to Spooky and it had never glowed for her even once.
"Not going to be very young." I said sternly.
"Well, most of the clothes I have are toddler size and look at these little cloth diapers. So you won't be too uncomfortable." Amber looked like a girl that was planning to be the perfect mother.
"2-years-old then. I want to be able to walk and talk still," I said sounding little braver than before.
I din't want to miss my transformation, so I opened Amber's other closet door to see myself in the full length mirror glued to the inside of the door. Amber had already picked out a sleeper outfit and very soft diaper when she stood up to watch me become a baby.
I wanted to see my body change so even though it was kind of embarassing, I stripped off all of my clothes. With the curtains closed and no one but Amber around I felt safe. She is my best friend, sister, and was going to become my baby-sitter for one night. In a few minutes she would be dressing me anyway, so no sense in being too shy. Goose bumps quickly spread over the small cones I called breasts and I gripped my watch in both hands and made my request to Spooky.
"Spooky, make me a 2-year-old in body only for 13 hours."
The same green flash happenedd and I heard the watch laugh with joy this time. First, my body lost height and my chest went flat. I felt the tickle as my small patch of hair below went back into me. My body became lean and soft. I was nine again now passing into 8. The world around me was growing larger and larger and I watched in utter amazement.
Amber sat down in a kneeling position so we could be see eye to eye when I finished.
I was a cute 5-year-old now. I could feel my body changing. Wonderful chills and warmth kept coming and going. My stomach slowly grew out to a toddler's belly.
4-years-old old now. My arms and legs were so chubby. My face had changed a lot too taking on very innocent features and pudgy look.
3-years-old and my arms and legs continued to get shorter and shorter.
Let it stop now. Please, I thought and nearly cried out load in a burst of tears and wailing.
2-years-old and a picture perfect version of myself remembering my old baby pictures.
"You feeling OK Jessica? You're nearly white as a ghost." Amber asked with concern and worry on her face.
"Just a little scary that's all," I piped in my new squeaky voice.
We both laughed at the sound of it. It was a dream like feeling for first few hours that night.
"Wow, you are a cutie pie!" Amber said after we both got done laughing.
"Yeth, I know," I said with a natural lisp to my voice.
"Lets get you ready for bed" Amber said with joy in her voice.
"OK," I said raising my arms up. I assumed she would dress me now, but to my surprise she didn't. She picked me up and carried me into the bathroom.
"Man!, you are heavy" Amber said as she carried me.
"Where are we going?" I asked as I gripped her body tightly. The fear of heights returned for a minute and I felt very small.
"Bath-time with bubbles" Amber said with a smile and I smiled too.
"Spooky"
Chapter 6: "Trick or Treat?"
by
Libra
Amber was a good baby-sitter after all. She gently sat me down in the middle of tub and started the warm water first checking to see if wasn't too hot for me. Amber quickly stripped off her clothes and sat down right behind me. After she wash the little hair I had left she poured bubbles bath liquid into the water. She moved closer to me and I could my head touching the top part of her stomach area. Amber wrapped her arms me and gave my a sister like hug.
I squealed in delight as her fingers tickled me for a second.
"Ticklish huh?" Amber asked she unlocked her hug and give me a small tickle around belly and under the arms.
"Stop!" I screamed in my highest pitched toddler voice. Giggling was making me tired and I wanted to play with the bubbles first.
Water filled up to my chest level and Amber turn the knobs to the off position. Amber help me turn around so I could be face-to-face with her and play various bubble bath games for the next hour in the warm water. After the bubbles were gone Amber sank into the water as she lifted me up to sit on her waist area.
"Thank you, Jess" Amber said with a warm smile.
"Your the best friend and temporary sister I could want." Amber continued
"No, thank you Amber. Being this young is not so bad. You should try it sometime" I said with a very child like voice.
"Next time!" Amber said with a grin. I was amazed at the expression on her face. She wasn't joking unlike me. I had wondered if she secretly desired to put on those toddler clothes herself sometimes.
"Hey, Look at my fingers. They are really wrinkled now. We should get out," I said. My little fingers were very wrinkled and water was getting cold.
"Yeah, I'm getting cold and you're getting heavy." Amber said has she sat up and lifted me out of the tub.
I was freezing as soon I was standing on the cold tile and the air seemed to hit me like a chilly wind.
"Give me a towel," I nearly shouted as I shivered for a full minute.
"Here you go!" Amber said has she wrap the beach towel around me three times. Amber wrap her own towel around her body and another for her head.
Too tired to carry me back Amber only took my hand and led me back to her room. I accepted without thinking about it. As a toddler I seemed to have certain urges. I wanted to play with bubbles and wanted to be held. It felt like a natural thing for me to do at this size and age.
With a small grunt Amber lifted me up onto the bed and handed me a stuffed cat. With a small smile of wonderment and confusion as to why she given it to me I look back up at Amber. A blight white flash had blinded me for a few seconds. She had taken my picture with her camera.
"Perfect!" she screamed.
Still seeing spots of light dance in the air and I felt a little dazed.
"Hey!" I said not wanting any pictures taken of myself this young.
"Your thank me later, Jess. You really were very cute holding that cat. " Amber said as she slipped the camera in the top drawer and took off her towels. Amber had carried her night clothes back with her from the bathroom and was fully dressed in seconds.
I was little envious of her when she put on her bra and underwear. It would be morning by the time I could wear my own. I was admiring how grown up she was compared to me. Yet another strange urge I had.
"OK, your turn squirt! Time to get dressed." Amber said as she picked up my watch from the floor from where I had dropped it and placed it on the dresser.
Amber unwrapped my towel and helped me into a big girl type cloth diaper and little girl underwear. I held onto her shoulders for support as she gently pulled them up.
"Mommy, Wow. I am big girl now" Amber sang with a smile.
I only giggled a bit at the catch phase and softness of the diaper as she pulled it up.
The sleeper outfit was a soft faded pink jumper with a zipper on the front. I was happy it was warm. I never imagined how fast toddlers got cold.
"All warm and comfortable?" Amber asked.
"Yeth" I replied back. It was harder to say words exactly right and I preferred to say them like a child anyway.
Not completely tired I wanted to do something else before I went to sleep. I looked back up at Amber.
"What do we do now?" I asked.
"Well, it is past your bedtime young lady," Amber said with a false serious face and tone, "but I suppose we could watch a movie down stairs. "
"I don't know if you can watch any of the movies we've got. Most of what I remember us having is PG-13 rated," Amber stated as she helped me down the stairs. The steps were very hard for me to go down. My legs were so short and keeping my balance wasn't easy at first. Once or twice I landed on my butt. Amber held one of my hands as I took each step one at a time and made sure I didn't fall face foward.
After putting a movie called "Lilo and Stitch" in the DVD player. Amber left the room and came back with covers, pillows and one stuffed cat for me.
"Just in case you get scared. " Amber said with a laugh.
The movie was a lot funnier then I thought it would be. Me and Amber had laughed several times before we lay down completely. I had to wonder if it wouldd still be as funny to me now than later on.
I barely stayed awake to see the ending of the movie. I felt so warm and sleepy under the covers with Amber holding me and fell to sleep. Amber checked to see if I was really asleep and drifted off to sleep herself.
It was nearly 9:00 A.M. when I finally awoke. I thought I heard a bell ring. For a second I was puzzled at the size of the room and the objects in the room. Then I remembered everything that had happened last night.
Still had a 2 hours to go before I changed back. I heard a young boy's voice coming from the hallway.
"No, Brad. She left to walk down to the store. I don't know when she'll be back. " I heard Amber voice now in the hallway.
"Come on in and wait for little while," Amber said with a devilish tone. I was too asleep and tangled in the covers to run out of room in time.
Amber and Brad popped around corner before I could hide.
Amber and Brad were still in their preteen ages, but I didn't want Brad to see me in a diaper.
"This is my cousin Chrissy, our parents went out to have early breakfast and left me to baby-sit for a while. They didn't want to wake her up so early in the morning. " Amber lied quickly and with very convincing tone of voice.
"Hi Chrissy" Brad said as he sat down the couch right on the stuffed cat.
"Oops, This must be yours," Brad said as he sat back up and gave me the cat before sitting back down.
Too embarrassed to say anything I lightly grabbed the cat and started to get up. Then I felt something that made my situation worse. I felt cold wetness in my diaper area. I hadd forgotten to use the bathroom last night at the dance.
Using the stuffed cat, I placed it in front of my crotch to cover any wet spot that might be there. I looked down at my sleeper outfit and felt that area quickly. It as little damp, but no visible wetness could be seen.
Amber came back from Kitchen and sat down next to me.
"Isn't she cute?" Amber said with a smile as looked at Brad.
"Yup, Can she talk yet or is she very shy?" Brad asked.
"Yes and not too much. Why do you ask?" Amber replied back.
"Hasn't said anything to me. Not even hi," Brad said smiling back. Brad had a little sister and knew children that size could say a few words at the very least.
Amber grabbed my waist to tickle me and started to say "are you scared of Brad here?"
"OH?you're wet! Sorry Chrissy, its all my fault. I forgot ask you if you needed to go tinkle last night," Amber said as I lowered my head and started to cry.
"Please change me," I whispered to Amber, not wanting to let Brad see me crying.
"Hush now, its OK. Its my fault," Amber said again.
After calming me down Amber left the room to go upstairs to grab a few things.
"Chrissy, lets get you out that cold sleeper. Did you know that I have a little sister myself?" Brad asked as he unzipped my sleeper. "Why did Brad have to be so nice and helpful?" I thought to myself. This would have been the one time I would have been thankful that Brad wasn't so helpful and kind.
After stripping off my semi wet sleeper. Brad laid me down my back and waited. To make sure I wouldn't try to get up Brad and grab each of my feet in his hands started making funny faces at me.
Amber return to see Brad making funny faces at me. Some of them did get a giggle out of me.
"Awwwww?This is so cute." Amber said looking at Brad.
"My little sister likes them.
