Heather leaned her left head down and peered through the biological microscope, closing her right head’s set of eyes so she could better focus with her left head’s set of eyes. “Interesting,” said Heather with her left head. “What’s interesting,” asked Amanda with her right head as her right head turned towards Heather, her left head going over data they had collected the day before. “Well, the blood sample you took of me is fascinating,’ said Heather with her left head. ‘It’s like the same as before but at the same time different.” “Welcome to my Lab Heather,’ said Amanda’s right head with a smile. ‘I’ve been trying to pin point exactly what makes our blood different than anyone else’s that allows us to have two heads with one consciousness for years now. It almost seems like there’s a magical undertone to our blood that I just can’t isolate.” “Yes, it’s kind of perplexing that way,” said Heather as she lifted both of

“Well, it looks like you’ll have a small bruise for a few days. Other than that, I don’t see any signs of a concussion or other head injuries. I would recommend that if your head starts to hurt to take several off the counter ibuprofen,” said the Doctor, looking up from Heather’s right head, where she was hit by the rock. “Thanks doc,’ said Heather, smiling with both mouths. ‘It’s been a long day so far today. I’m glad something went okay. I must get to the library for an hour or two of studying. Have a good afternoon.” “Have a good evening my dear,’ said the doctor with a smile, looking from one head to the other and back again. ‘If there’s anything else you need, please let me know.” Heather Smiled with both mouths, stood up, and walked out of the medical offices deep in thought about the day’s events. Tears started to flow from both sets of eyes when she passed by the science building. “Why did this have to happen to me,’ thought Heather.

“Yyyeess,’ said Heather with her left mouth, her right mouth silently saying the ‘Y’ but Heather was able to close her right mouth for the ‘e’ and the ‘s’. She gave a big smile to herself in the mirror with both of her mouths. ‘I’m getting better at that.” “You’ve made significant progress this past week Heather,’ said Amanda with her right mouth, her right head facing her direction. Amanda’s left head smiled as she looked at a notebook to right down some notes. ‘Before long you’ll be talking with one mouth like you had always done it.” “Well, up until a month ago I Had been talking with one mouth,” smirked Heather. The jibe caught Amanda off-guard, she responded by silently looking at Heather with both Heads for a good moment before she started to giggle. Amanda laughed for a good thirty seconds before Heather caught the laughing bug and started to laugh with Amanda. Both young women laughed for a several minutes before

Heather sat up straight in her bedroom Desk’s Chair. The Fan Light was off, but the table light was on, flooding light onto her Laptop’s Keyboard. Her parents went to bed several hours ago and she didn’t want to wake them with a ton of light coming from her room. It was nearly 11 pm and she was nervous. Heather had a zoom meeting scheduled with Amanda at 11 pm. Why it was near the middle of the night she wasn’t sure. But she was intrigued on what she would say, nervous too. Nervous because it had been three days since her consciousness embodied two heads, it was still a surreal feeling for her to see things from two set of eyes simultaneously but it being easily computed in her mind, as if it became a more acute single image of the world around her. She was still confused how it happened and why her parents, as well as those who knew her, didn’t think twice about her having two heads; it was if she had always had two heads with one consciousness without the memories of it.

“Heather,’ called out her mother, Rachel, from the back porch. ‘It’s a warm sunny June Day. You’re off from school for the summer and you’re just sitting in the house, on your phone with friends. Ask them to come over and have some lemonade or something. Get some fresh air today.” “Mom! I’m busy. I’m Trying to get a head start on next semester. This upcoming semester is important for transferring to a four year college mom. If I can get all A’s I can transfer from the local community college with a scholarship,’ yelled 20 year old Heather from her computer down to her mom. ‘I’ll be out in a little while, give me like 30 minutes okay.” “Okay honey. 30 minutes. Then I’m going to come up there to make sure you’re alright,’ called out her mother from the back porch. Turning back to her neighbor, who she happened to have been hanging out with, ‘Can you imagine if we were like Heather at her age...” Heather sighed and focused back on what she was doing on the computer.

Data Entry from Dr. Robert’s Four young girls became the first successful human Naga transformees. Kara Knotts, Trisha Tracks, Megan Meeks, and Carol Candice. Unfortunately for us, the girls lied to us about their ages, and it was only after they had been transformed that we found out they were all sixteen and still minors in their Junior year of high school. Unfortunately for them they all signed the Government contracts binding them to five years of service, and the US Government did not take attempts to default on a signed contract lightly. Despite their parents strenuous objections the girls are to be held to their terms of service. Not to mention there is currently no known way to reverse the process at this time. Date of transformation to 12 months: Dr. Nagani was not kidding that the girls would have to learn how to control their bodies all over again. They were not even able to leave the transformation chamber on their own and had to be carried out one at a time. It took all

Hello to anyone is reading this. I’m not so sure how to start this off so I’ll just get to the point because, for most, you probably wouldn’t believe me when I say this. I am a person with two bodies. Before you rush to assume what, I mean by that, let me explain. I am a Single individual who is living inside two distinct, and separate, bodies. Or I’m a single consciousness who controls two separate bodies. I am both Male and Female at the same time because I live inside a Male Body as well as a Female Body. I visually see from two separate bodies. I can do two separate things at once, yet I am One individual doing both things. To the outside world I can pass as two separate people because most people don’t know I’m a single individual, most who come across me think I’m a ‘married’ couple; oh, if they only knew the Truth. I imagine that is difficult for most people to understand. Heck, it was difficult for me to process and do things when it first happened to

“What happened Next? Where did you bring Velma?” asked Mattie. “I brought her to my makeshift ‘hideout’ in an abandoned Commercial building. It was in the section of town that was pretty much defunct since a lot of the Mining companies went under when the price of salt crashed,” said Lily. ‘The Homeless were pretty much the only one’s that would come through and they started to avoid my building for reasons I’m sure you could guess. And others would easily blow off what ‘Those Crazy Homeless People’ would say about the ‘Monster Snake Lady’ terrorizing the district.” “Yeah, I can imagine. I’ve seen a lot of them on the streets. Many of them have obvious mental health related issues. It’s very sad,’ said Mattie. ‘What did you and Velma do next? Did she have a bunch of questions? Did she get upset with you?” “She was upset in a way. She was upset that I didn’t reach out to her. To trust her enough that she was going to help me. But she forgave me, said that the shock of

“Hello,’ said Mattie, answering his cell phone on the third ring. ‘Oh, Hello Lily! Yeah, I’m on my way. I’m about a block away. Yeah, see ya in a few minutes. That’s sweet Lily but you don’t need to make a fuss about food over me. Okay, if you insist. Whatever you feel is best is fine with me. I’m really not that picky when it comes to food, as long as it isn’t too terrible for you. Like no Mcdonald’s. Great, see ya in a moment.” Mattie took a deep breath, putting his cell phone back into his pocket, he made his way down State Street. He was surprised that Lily had an apartment in the Downtown portion of the City. It didn’t go with his mental image of her. He figured that she lived somewhere in the countryside, just outside the city. Having more open spaces to move around with her bigger body. Even though he and her have been meeting up for a few days now he still wondered exactly how some buildings held her weight. “Or was it her obvious bodily Strength and Bulk that

June 16th, 2011 “Lily, where are you off to now?” ask Kathleen, Lily’s mother. “Meeting up with some friends Mom. We’re going to the Mall and then we’re all going to head over to Velma’s house for a girl’s night to celebrate us graduating High School Mom,” said Lily, walking into the Living room with her backpack filled with clothes, make-up and her Personal Computer. “Okay sweetie, have fun. And remember, be Responsible,’ said Kathleen. ‘Are you going to stay over there for the night?” “Yes,’ said Lily. ‘It’ll be more of a sleepover kind of deal than anything else. Pizza, music, movies, and a girl’s night in our pj’s. Pretty simple.” “See ya tomorrow Lily,” said her mother as she gave her a hug. “See you tomorrow mom,” said Lily, returning the hug. Disengaging from the hug, Kathleen went back to her ironing. Lily walked out the front door and to her car. Starting the car Lily drove off to the mall. Twenty minutes later Lily found a parking space in front of the main

"You are so lucky Nina! I didn't get to go to Disney when I was little…and you get to go every year!" Heather Morrow told her 8 years old daughter as they arrived at Orlando Airport. Nina smiled up at her Mom and nodded "I love my Disney trips!" She said, bouncing with excitement. Heather was a Disney adult. Obsessed with Disney movies, music and merch since she was little. But growing up rather poor in Minnesota meant she didn't go to the resort until college. She made up for it from that moment on; trips every year and then when she had her daughter, you can bet she decorated everything Disney. So many outfits and toys for Nina and the trips started when she was just 6 months old. Nina's Dad had checked out and divorced Heather when Nina was just 2 so it was just the 2 of them. Their personal theme this time was Cinderella. They would wear Cinderella shirts and ears and while staying at the All Star Movie Hotel, they had asked for a Cinderella theme. They talked as they walked to the shuttle, seeing others who were obviously in town for the same reason heading the same direction as them. Heather, at 37, was average height at 5'4". Slender with shoulder length brown hair and eyes, she wore a powder blue tee shirt with the Fairy Godmother on it along with dark blue shorts and sandals. Nina was 4'2", average size for 8. Her brown hair was long and pulled into a ponytail. She had green eyes from her Dad but looked a lot like her Mom. Her shirt was white with Cinderella herself on it mid transformation as her ball gown replaced her ragged clothes along with Jean shorts, white ankle socks and white and pink sneakers. They both got out their powder blue Mickey ears and put them on as they got on the shuttle bus, smiling from ear to ear. They chatted with strangers on the shuttle as they crept through traffic. Heather's heart was racing and her stomach fluttered in anticipation "Oh I can't wait to get there!" Heather said as they neared their destination. The family sitting across from them smiled as the Dad whispered to his wife "sounds like the Mom over there is much more excited about this than the kid" as Nina looked out the window with a rather bland expression. Nina usually had a very serious expression; she was simply one of those kids who looked serious all the time with her sleepy eyes. "Finally!" Heather said as they pulled up and got off the bus. They made their way to the hotel as she checked their itinerary on her phone app. "Your room is all set and full of Disney magic!" The girl at the counter told them along with times for shows and meals "Have a magical week!" She added at the end which made Nina smile. Nina had to admit that their room was awesome. Banners with Cinderella characters along with a large Fairy Godmother standing by the window, magic wand up and at the ready. "Talk about magical! We have our own Fairy Godmother here with us Nina! What do you think we should wish for?" Heather said as she sat down on the edge of the bed and crossed her legs. Nina kicked off her shoes and socks and hopped on the bed to try it out. She crawled to the middle and burrowed into the pillows, content "I don't know…what would you want?" She replied. Heather turned and pursed her lips, thinking about it "Hmmm…what would make this time truly unique?" Nina sat up. "They told us to have a magical week…so if we could use magic…really stretch out our imagination, anything would be possible" Nina cocked her head, a little smirk spreading outward. "What?! What are you thinking about? I can tell you've got something in mind" Heather leaned in. "Well if it's magic, what if we switched places with each other? You said you never got to go to Disney as a kid, so, what if for this week you were a kid!? And I could be an adult! You always joke about drinking around the world in Epcot…well if I were 37 and you were 8, I could do adult things and you could finally experience Disney as a kid!" Heather's heart leapt and her jaw dropped. Her stomach flipped and fluttered and she felt warm all over. She was shocked. It was so simple and yet so awesome. She started to smile "that would actually…be, absolutely amazing!" She laughed. Her voice had started out quiet but had risen as she talked, ending up in a fit of giggling. "That would be so wild!" "So you'd do it?" Nina asked excitedly, getting wrapped up in the moment with her Mom. "You are so much more serious than I ever could be" Heather teased. "And you can be such a child," Nina laughed in reply. Heather raised her hand "Guilty! Especially when I'm here!" They laughed but a seed had been planted and Heather began to picture it. "You can see it, can't you?" Nina asked "I can tell by the look on your face…you're actually picturing it" Nina was shocked as Heather bit her lower lip and blushed as she nodded. "I am…I can't help it!" She laughed and squirmed "But I CAN actually see us like that…it's so weird! I can see me as a kid, holding your hand and you're so much bigger than me!" Heather said with a sense of wonder and awe in her voice. "Everything is bigger! All the rides, all the characters!" "But I would be right there with you, protecting you, guiding you, caring for you" Nina said and now the vision was there for her too. Looking down into the little girl's excited face looking back up at her. Nina could feel it. The warmth of the concrete, the humidity in the air, the smell of a nearby food stand, the sounds of people yelling on a Rollercoaster. She was nodding and agreeing that it was time to go to the Buzz Lightyear ride and feeling the tug on her long arm as the little girl pulled on it as she took off. "You brought it up so…would you wish that it would happen? Would you wish that we could switch places? That we would swap ages and therefore our roles?" Heather asked. Almost in a dreamlike state, Nina felt herself nodding and saying "Yes. Yes I would" Heather squealed in joy "I knew it! I would wish for that in a heartbeat! I wish I could trade places with you!" "I wish I could too," Nina said. 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 Upon the words coming out, both of them jumped as they both heard a fast piano troll rang through the air "What the heck?!" Heather exclaimed as Nina stared as something had caught her eye. She tapped her Mom's shoulder and pointed toward the window "Mom?! Look!" Sparkling lights burst out all around the life-sized figure of the Fairy Godmother. As they swirled about, her wand twitched, she blinked and smiled as the sparkles encompassed the whole figure. "Well Hello Heather! Hello Nina!" She said as the figure came to life. Both wanted to scream but neither did, they stood shocked into silence. "Oh don't be frightened…I know you weren't exactly expecting a toy figurine to come to life but you never know what might happen in the Magic Kingdom. Today, I'm here to provide you two with a dose of real magic" she giggled, sounding exactly like the movie character "I've heard your wish, your heart's true desire and I'm here to say…your wish has been granted!" Jaws still hanging open in shock, they looked at each other, sizing each other up in a brand new light. The Fairy Godmother waved her magic wand and sang "Mother to Daughter, Daughter to Mother Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo! Put 'em together and flip them about Bibbidi Bobbodi Boo! Reverse their ages, flip their roles Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo! Have them live out their wish Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" The Fairy Godmother flicked her wand and sparks shot towards the Mother and Daughter pair. They both stood relatively still as the sparkles gathered at their feet and swirled up around them, rising up their legs, their chests and their heads. Both squirmed a bit and looked about as the lights surrounded them. Then, the lights dissipated and fell to the floor at their feet. "Now don't fret…magic takes a few moments to work. You'll both see it soon enough. Now make sure to make the most of this magic and have the absolute time of your lives!" And with those words, she froze again and turned back into an inanimate figure in her original pose. "Uh…" Heather said, her shoulders hunched forward. "Um…oookkkkaaayyyy" Nina said "We both saw that right?" Heather nodded, anticipation growing in her "Yeah…yes we did…and I…" she paused. A strange look on her face. Her eyes began to widen as a very strange feeling suddenly erupted throughout her entire body "WHOA!" She exclaimed as she clamped one hand over her mouth as her other arm wrapped around her stomach. Nina shivered. Her eyes now widened as she took in a very deep breath, a little hiss escaped her mouth. Every muscle in her body tensed, her jaw locked and she just simply felt a difference in her body. She felt different and she looked up at her Mom who was already looking down at her. Their eyes locked. "Mom?!" Nina's voice was shaky and questioning. "Nina?!" Heather's voice sounded even more scared than her daughter's did. "MOM!" Nina yelled out more urgently as she felt her body start to quiver. That different feeling was intensifying. "NeeeeNA!" Heather's voice leapt up at the end, sounding like she had been goosed. She physically jumped at the same time, shivering in mid air as she did. Heather landed, feet apart. She froze yet could still feel herself moving. Moving in ways that were not usual or normal. "Ohmygosh Nina! It's happening! I can feel it!" She let out a noise halfway between a laugh and a weirded out sound of disbelief. Nina nodded "I feel it too! It feels so weird! My muscles are just shaking…my calves hurt" Then, both of them relaxed. They shivered in unison and shook their heads as they looked at each other. "I don't see anything! You still look the same! I'm still bigger than you?!" Heather said. Nina nodded vigorously "And you! You…" she paused. Something was different as she looked at her Mom's face and she cocked her head in confusion. "WHAT? What is it?!" Heather said as her hands flew around her face. She spun and took two big steps towards the mirror on the wall. She stopped in front of it and gasped. "My face!" Her jaw dropped as her face softened. It was growing rounder, her cheeks plumped up and the skin smoothed out. Signs of wear and age were vanishing. The lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth were rejuvenating and filling in, the bags under her eyes were vanishing. Heather's eyebrows thinned and shrank down. Her nose began to shrink as freckles broke out on her super smooth skin. Her lips thinned, her chin rounded and her jawline pulled back. Her face was getting younger, changing shape as she began to regress. Looking and concentrating on her face, Heather saw and felt her hair beginning to thin and grow longer. They both stared in amazement as Heather next began to shrink. Physically getting smaller, she seemed to pull into herself and she saw her reflection dropping lower in the mirror as she lost height. Nina was also watching her Mom's face in the mirror as it changed before their eyes. She took a step backwards as she sensed and detected movement next to her. She turned to watch her Mom shrinking down shorter and smaller, a look of absolute shock on her still regressing face. Nina's eyes scanned up and down, trying like mad to take in as much as possible, see as many things change as possible. Heather's legs thinned as they shrank down shorter. The heft and curve, the maturity of them, all slimmed away. Heather looked down to see her shorts growing loose on her legs. Her thighs trimmed way down as her hips narrowed and her ass flattened. Her calves thinned down to sticks as they compacted, taking her down shorter and shorter; inches melting away along with years. Nina saw her Mom's legs change drastically, events and visions seering into her brain, wanting to remember everything about this. Her Mom's feet twitched, still wearing her sandals "Ah! That feels so weird!" She exclaimed as her toes began to creep backwards from the ends of her sandals, the toes themselves getting smaller and her nails thinner atop them. The sides of her feet pulled inward, the heels crept forward making the sandals several sizes too big. Nina watched her Mom's feet shrink, but more than that, they fundamentally changed from mature, adult feet to the simple, pudgy of a kid. Heather looked down. The ground was rushing upwards and even though her feet were getting smaller, she was able to see them clearly as her chest retreated. Heather's shirt puffed and fluttered as she shrank away beneath it. The neck hole of the tee shirt grew, Heather's narrowing shoulders were exposed. She shivered when her breasts broke contact with the cups of her 34B bra. Heather had to laugh and giggle as her breasts reduced in size. An intense tickle and tingling sensation ran up and down her spine "Ohmygosh! That's so…AAAAHHH!" She laughed and quivered. Her breasts lifted as they shrank. Her bra hung loosely on her narrow chest, her body regressed back through puberty and her chest went totally flat. Her hands went to her flat chest where they only grasped fabric and no flesh. Her fingers were twitching as they shrank down, her manicured nails retreated and grew tiny and ragged as her hands lost their mature look and structure. The tingling rattled her teeth. Heather's face pulsated as it shrank down to suit her new, smaller size. Her ears shrank but it was the changes to her mouth that caught her attention. A set of adult molars vanished, retreating into her shrinking gum line. Other teeth reverted to adolescent size and status, a few remained adult size and 2 went missing all together. Nina's green eyes were as wide as could be as her Mom shrank down to her size. Her Mom's big brown eyes looked bigger than usual in a smaller framed face. Her Mom had been turned into a kid her age and size. Her Mom looked like a classmate instead of a parent. Heather's thinner hair frizzed out, small details appeared really cementing the look of an 8 year old even as she swam in the huge clothes of her formerly adult body. "AH! Nina! I…I'm your size!" She said before clamping a tiny hand over her mouth upon hearing her high pitched little girl voice. Nina let out a guffaw of just pure incredulousness. Her Mom was now her age and her size. But not for long. Nina's head went up and down. Her jaw hung slack as she took in the sight of her downsized Mother, every detail ingrained in her mind. But as she stood and stared, she felt an intense rush surge throughout her entire body. Heather was quivering, she couldn't help it. She was looking at her 8 year old daughter eye to eye "This is impossible" she muttered before gasping in shock once again as Nina began to rise up taller than her. Nina felt her muscles tense and twitch as a euphoric feeling made her eyes roll. A full body shudder and her sight refocused and she found herself now looking slightly down at her Mom "Ohmygosh! I'm growing now! I'm going to grow to your old size and age Mom and then I'll be the adult and you'll be the kid!" Nina spread out her toes as she felt them moving against the carpet, her toes stretching out, popping out as they widened and the nails atop them spread in conjunction with the rest of her growing toes. Her soles tickled as they widened and her heels pushed backwards. Slowly but steadily, she grew taller. Inch by inch she rose up. Her spine made popping noises and her legs strained and stretched. Her muscles pulsated as they thickened with maturity. Her legs began to gain definition and curves as muscle and fat built up. Nina felt her shorts pulling tighter, slightly uncomfortable but insignificant in the big picture. Her small tee shirt began to lift up, exposing a crack of skin at her waist and stomach. The sides pulled tight as her back expanded and her sleeves did the same as her shoulders spread and her upper arms filled out. Nima put her arms down straight at her side. Her fingers stretched out and thickened, her nails grew thicker and longer; full ovals rose up and nude gel polish appeared as she ran her nails over the pads of her larger fingers. Heather is in shock as she watches her daughter grow and mature. As Nina's face rises higher, she watches her jaw line strengthen and her chin become stronger, more prominent and defined. Nina's nose grew larger and broader, her green eyes changed, gaining something greater than a different shape, her eyes began to convey maturity, knowledge and experience. Her eyebrows thickened and grew bolder, lines began to etch into her forehead and after the corners of her eyes and her growing mouth. Nina made a face as her lips parted. Her lips were filling out plump and wide, perhaps a bit too large for her face, her dominant feature. Her gums felt like liquid as her teeth drastically changed. The few adult teeth she had shifted to make room as more teeth progressed from adolescent size to adult. Molars appeared as her mouth expanded, pushing her cheeks outward into a more appropriate place for a woman. Her hair thickened but grew longer as well, falling over her shoulders in a very different style than her Mother used to wear. Nina hummed as her hips and ass grew larger and spread outward until she let out a quick exclamation of surprise when her button popped. Her hands flew forward as her shorts drooped, taking her panties down as well. Her thighs had grown round and full and were squeezed quite tight by her shorts. Both of them could hear the stitching straining and then ripping and tearing. Flesh pushed outward as her shorts could no longer contain her mature ass and hips and thighs. "Ohmygod!" Nina said, looking down and blushing. Her Mom was a full head shorter than herself now and she wasn't done growing yet. Her shirt was next to go. A warm sensation washed over her as her chest tingled. Breasts were forming up and growing, pushing out, steadily rounding and swelling. She quickly passed her Mom's former size before developing even larger. "Oh…Oh!" Nina said as she cupped her budding breasts. Nina's shirt ripped across her back which gave her some relief to take a deep breath. Her chest jiggled, her whole body moved and just felt very different. Nina topped out at 5'6", 2 inches taller than her Mom had been. Her breasts were a 38D, much more endowed than Heather had been. Heather only came up to the bottom of her daughter's breasts and as Nina shuddered and shook all over, Heather took a step back. 🎶 🎶 🎵 The piano trilled again and both of them let out sounds of surprise as both now rose up into the air. They kicked their feet as they rose up and the sparkles swirled and spun around them. "Hey, hey, hey, hey! What's going on now?!" Nina cried, surprised at the deep sound of her voice suddenly coming out of her. "Mommy!" Heather shocked both of them with her cry. Nina gasped and looked over at her. Their eyes met and Nina couldn't be upset as all she felt was concern and an overwhelming desire to comfort and protect the small girl hovering across from her surrounded by magic sparkles. Nina looked down suddenly as she felt her clothes moving. Her torn shorts and shirt ballooned out, reforming and expanding to her new size, repairing themselves as new larger panties appeared in place. A 38D bra thankfully wrapped around her back and shoulders to house her large breasts as her white tee shirt changed from a child's size 8-10 to a woman's medium. New sandals slipped onto Nina's floating feet; size 9 ½, a full size larger than her Mom had worn. Light makeup applied to her face as a claw clip pulled at her hair, styling it into a half up, half down casually cute style. Finally a pair of powder blue Mickey Mouse ears accented with gold sequins appeared atop her head. Heather kicked her tiny feet as strongly as she could as she rose up off the floor. But as she felt her underwear tighten up to fit her as well as her useless bra vanish, she stopped kicking as much. Her light blue tee shirt shrank down from a woman's medium to a child's size 8-10 which fit her perfectly. Her shorts also shrank to fit. The huge sandals she had been wearing now changed style and size below her, shrinking down to half the size they had been. Her long brown hair began to twist and pull into 2 pigtails just as a pair of powder blue Mickey Mouse ears accented with gold sequins appeared atop her small head. The sparkles thinned and dissipated as they both gently floated to the ground. Heather's toes pointed and her feet entered the small sandals that awaited her feet on the floor. The sparkles finished, both Nina and Heather found themselves standing across from each other in their hotel room and they both felt a distinctive energy whoosh around the room and disappear. Both of them held their breath. The room was deathly silent as neither moved. Nina's eyes scanned up and down "This is real! It's real! Somehow I'm an adult and Mom is a kid!" Heather's eyes scanned up and down "I'm a kid! I'm little! And Nina's big! But…how?!" Heather thought frantically. "Your wish has been granted! Be free and happy…live to the fullest and enjoy your time in each other's place! Fear not for magic is on your side!" They both heard the ethereal voice and they were calmed; happy…curious even. Their worries assuaged…Nina let out a laugh. Heather cocked her head but also found herself smiling. "Ohmygosh…look at us…" Nina said now checking out her new body "This is absolutely crazy…amazing!" Heather chuckled, "Um yeah…it's so wild, you're so big!" "Bigger than you were!" Nina said. "Yeah you are" Heather added "You're super pretty as a grown up" "Oh thank you!" Nina blushed "And you make possibly the cutest little girl I've ever seen" Heather beamed, her smile wide and happy and proud. "So, are you ready to head out? We've got a lot to do like this?" Heather bounced excitedly "Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Magic Kingdom yay!" "Before we start out, do you understand our new roles?" Nina asked. "You have to hold my hand when we're in a crowd" "Of course!" Heather replied, nodding. "Are you looking forward to seeing Disney as a kid?" Nina asked, looking down. "Yes I am! Are you happy to be big this time? Are you happy with your new body and role?" Heather asked. "Absolutely haha! I'm really looking forward to it" Nina admitted. They both smiled and as Nina grabbed her purse and phone, they headed out. They caught the monorail to the park. It was still early afternoon and they got right to riding their favorite rides. Heather's whole perspective was different. Everything looked different, felt different; it was enchanting and breathtaking. Nina, meanwhile, was also in awe. She was looked at and treated completely differently than before. On an equal level as all the other adults, she picked up on so many different things. A bit overwhelming, yet sensational, magnificent and frankly, miraculous. They ran around and rode rides, watched a show and finally, took a break to eat. They went to a diner and were seated in a booth. The air conditioning felt great to both of them. Heather scooted into her seat and her feet lifted off the ground and dangled well up off the floor while Nina's feet remained flat on the ground. Nina also just wanted water while Heather craved sweet soda. Heather just wanted chicken nuggets and Mac and cheese while Nina ordered a Ceasar salad. "So, still holding up okay?" Nina asked. "Yeah…I'm loving it to be honest. It's so much more fun being a kid than an adult" Heather said bluntly. "Oh haha…I'm going to have to beg to differ with you on that" Nina said with a slight smile and a knowing rise of her brow "I think it's better to be an adult here" "We'll see…Mom" Heather said, causing Nina to blush. "Well I'm glad you're calling me that, Heather" Nina replied. "My baby girl," Nina teased in a sing-song voice. Nina paused and stared out over Heather's shoulder, looking out into the park but not actually seeing anything. She was lost in thought; thoughts, emotions and feelings welled up inside her, momentarily overriding everything else in her brain. Nina saw Mulan walking by the window and thought "I saw Mulan in the theater when I was 12" Heather too stared past her Mom. She watched a woman come in with her son and wait to be seated. They were seated in the booth right across from them. Heather watched them and for some reason, took in the details of them. The Mom had a tattoo of Jack Skellington on her forearm. Nina looked over and nodded politely and Heather jumped in saying "I like your tattoo! It's so cool!" "Oh thank you very much…I love your ears! Where did you get them?" "Oh, they, uh, came with our room, we got a Cinderella theme room" Nina replied. They chatted about where they were staying only to discover they were on the same floor of the same hotel. "You should come by!" Heather blurted out "like tomorrow morning were going to swim in the pool in the morning before we head to Epcot" "We're going to Epcot too aren't we Mommy?" The boy said. The Mom was slightly embarrassed but Nina waved it off with a big smile "Room 423, we would love it…honestly " she added with a knowing smile "I'm Nina and this is my daughter Heather" "Thank you…I'm Angelica and this is my son Matthew" Their food arrived and they made sure to chat a bit more while they ate and as they left, they promised to see each other tomorrow. They stayed at the park all evening and into the night to watch the fireworks. Both of them were exhausted when they got back to the room. Nina headed for a quick shower and Heather was already dozing off. Nina paused behind the bathroom door. Everything just hit her about what had happened to them and who she now was, becoming the Mom between them. She took off her clothes. Clothes which had started out the day a different size, a much smaller size. Her breasts swung free as she removed her bra "Holy shit…I'm stacked haha" she blushed seeing herself in the mirror but then she examined herself "I like it" she said succinctly with a sly, self-effacing smirk. By the time she showered and brushed her teeth, she came out to find Heather fast asleep. Nina's heart swelled with love. She tucked her in and curled up in bed with her. The next morning they were up. Heather woke up early and excited. She put on her swimsuit with Moana on it and kept looking out the door. "They're coming!" Nina heard her as she opened the door "Hi Matt" she called out. "Hello" Angelica called out as she came up. She was wearing a black one piece with a cover up wrap and flip flops along with a bag of pool supplies "Hi nice to see you again! I'm so glad you came! Heather could use a friend!" Nina said. Nina was wearing a blue bikini top along with nylon shorts. Matt was in Lightning McQueen swim trunks as they came in smiling. "So how old are you?" Heather asked. "I'm 7, how old are you?" Matt asked. He was about 2 inches shorter than Heather. "I'm 8," she said proudly. "Hey did you know Angelica and Matthew are from Wisconsin? We're practically neighbors at home too" Nina said. Matt looked up at Nina. Even at his age, he recognized beauty and instantly developed his first crush. He had thought her pretty yesterday in the restaurant but this morning, he felt funny in his stomach like never before. Angelica saw the look in her son's eyes. She rolled her own eyes and yearned suddenly for the innocence of childhood. She knelt down to Heather "I love your swimsuit…Moana is one of my favorites'' "Thank you" Heather said. "I would love to have a suit like yours…mine is so boring! That's one of the bad things about being old haha, you can't find a single bathing suit with cool characters on them" she laughed. Angelica saw the Fairy Godmother statue standing by the window and she squeaked in delight "Ohmygosh how cute! This is so awesome! Come here Matty! Come see this!" She waved her hand at her son beckoning him to her side. Matthew came over and his jaw dropped. The Fairy Godmother was a bit bigger than him. Angelica wrapped her arm around him and hugged him to her side. His head below her breasts. Angelica was tall. Taller than Nina by a few inches with blonde hair pulled into a ponytail along with blue eyes. Matt shared his Mom's hair and eye color. "Maybe we should make a wish, what do you think?" Angelica said. Nina's jaw opened to say something, anything to warn them but instead, she froze. "What would you wish for Matty? Your own Fairy Godmother is right here" Angelica said as she crouched down to his level. Matt's eyes darted to Nina standing to the side. She had this expression of surprise, curiosity, innocence yet she was tense and nervous. His eyes flashed down and he saw she was upon the balls of her feet. He knew what he wanted to wish for, but how to word it? "Um…" he blushed hard. "Oh it's okay honey…you can wish for anything!" Angelica encouraged her son. "I wish I was bigger!" He blurted out. "Bigger? Bigger how? Bigger than me?" Angelica chuckled, putting her knee to the ground and looking up at the Godmother statue. "Well…yeah! Bigger than you…if I was an adult I would be bigger than you Mommy" "But I don't want to be that much older yet!" Angelica replied. Matthew looked at his Mom, who was at his eye level. A new idea popped into his head and he gasped "Oooo! I know! We could swap ages if you don't want to get a lot older" "So instead you'd have me get a lot younger?!" Angelica giggled "Don't tempt me honey…that might actually be a lot of fun" she teased. "Um!" Nina finally found her voice but she laughed instead and looked at the Fairy Godmother behind them. Angelica cocked her head. She wasn't sure why she was thinking about it, but suddenly, she felt it was an intriguing prospect. "So if we swapped ages, then you'd be an adult and I would be a kid. Would that make me your daughter?!" Matthew pulled back and laughed "Sure! Why not?!" Angelica saw Heather out of the corner of her eye. A compulsive thought pressed forward in her "Could be interesting…go back to being a kid. No more sucky job…no more worrying about bills and alimony…" she thought as she laughed out loud "Okay kiddo! I agree! You can be the adult and I'll become a kid again…you get your wish to be bigger. I'll switch my age with yours!" Matthew gasped "Really! Then I wish I could trade places with you!" Nina exhaled hard and loudly as Heather giggled a knowing laugh and clapped. Nina jumped as the piano trilled out, the sounds swirled around the room 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 Angelica gasped and slipped backwards, falling onto her butt with an "Ah!" The statue of the Fairy Godmother began to glow. Motion was seen as she blinked and moved, coming to life before them. Sparkles shot out and swirled about her. Matthew was stunned and shocked to silence while Angelica scrambled back on her bottom, shuffling her hands and feet until she got up to her feet. "Hello Angelica! Hello Matthew!" The Fairy Godmother said "I have heard your wish and am here to grant it" she said raising her wand. "What? Our…our wish?!" Angelica stuttered. "Not just your wish… but your heart's desire!" The Fairy Godmother replied with a soothing voice and reassuring smile "Only a wish made with pure desire and will can be fulfilled. Anything else is just empty words" Matt and Angelica exchanged a look. Both of them with their jaws hanging open. Adrenaline surged through them as the actual possibility of this coming true. Their stomachs fluttered, skin tingled, minds raced with the tangible and intangibles involved. "You? And, and me?!" Angelica muttered "Are we really about to switch places?!" Matt just nodded. He believed it. He saw it. The magic wand raised up and they all heard the singing "Switching their ages, switching their roles Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo! Make him an adult and make her a child Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" A flick of the wand shot sparks out. Tiny sparkling stars began at their feet and quickly swirled up around them, engulfing them "Matty!" "Mommy!" The sparkles dissipated and thinned and fell back to the floor. The statue of the Fairy Godmother was frozen once more. Angelica stammered. She put her arms out and examined them. For the time being, they still looked the same "Did you? Did you all see that?! Was that real?!" "It is…it's absolutely real and yes, it's going to happen" Nina said softly. Angelica gasped and turned to her. Nina was nodding, Heather was at her side nodding too "We know because it's what happened to us just yesterday. I am, I guess I mean I was…8 years old up until yesterday and Heather here was my Mom" "It's true! We made a wish too…I wanted to see what Disney was like as a kid and well, here I am!" Heather added "Here we both are!" "Your wish has been granted! Be free and happy…live to the fullest and enjoy your time in each other's place! Fear not for magic is on your side!" They all heard the ethereal voice and Angelica and her son were calmed; happy…curious even. Their worries assuaged. "It takes a minute to start," Nina added. "Wait what?! You're her Mother?!" Angelica said, looking down at Heather. "Well not anymore silly" Heather replied which made Angelica look at her son once again. "So small, so short, so young!" She thought "That’s not really going to be me is it?!" But yet she knew. She knew that it would be. "Mommy?! I…I feel all funny!" Matthew said as he shivered and shuddered all over "It tickles! I'm all tingly" Angelica took a step backwards, her eyes growing wide. They could hear something, some kind of rumbling sound, a crinkling sound. Matt's body began to bubble up, ripples ran up and down. His muscles tensed, his whole body coiled up like a tight spring just about to burst. Everyone could feel it coming, knew it was about to happen. Then, with a spasm, Matt's shoulders began to steadily spread outward. He started to rise up, growing taller, inches building, his legs stretched and his back popped. "Mommy?!" He cried out, his voice sounding mixed with a bit of fear and panic yet also it had an undertone of joy and awe, a bit of nervous laughter. "I'm right here Matty…it's going to be okay" Angelica tried to sound hopeful and upbeat but she sounded nervous. "I…I know it will be! This feels great haha!" Matt replied "Oh haha! I'm taller than you Heather!" He realized as he grew. "Probably older than me too already" Heather admitted as Matt put on another inch to 4'5" He giggled as his feet began to spread out, growing against the carpet which tickled his soles. That crinkling noise intensified as his leg muscles formed up and pushed forward giving definition to his calves and thighs. Acne appeared and then cleared as his face began to change, evolving from a little boy's face to a teenager to a man. His face broadened; his forehead and cheeks widened as he grew, his face maturing, gaining strength and character. His chin and jawline creaked as it grew out strong and firm. His cheeks lifted as his nose grew larger and broader and his mouth grew. He blinked hard and parted his lips, baring his teeth and running his tongue between them. Angelica watched mesmerized as her son's teeth popped out larger, converting themselves one by one from baby teeth to adult size. They spread, whitened and strengthened into place. Matt bit down, clacking his teeth shut with a snap. He continued growing, his little boy swim trunks pulled super tight against his bulging thighs and burgeoning waist. Up past 5 feet tall, he towered over Heather and was quickly catching Nina in height. Standing bare chested, Nina watched his muscles form up, hard and sculpt into shape. Abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles. He looked into Nina's eyes as he reached her height. His blue eyes deepened, more than just simply aging, they were gaining knowledge, experiences and much more emotions and thoughts. Controlling all of those thoughts and emotions was another story as they swelled up inside his swelling body. Now up to 5'9" and his Mom's height but he showed no signs of stopping. He smiled though, excited about what was happening to him, overjoyed at what was changing about his body and mind and he was anticipating his new reversed relationship with his Mom. His now shorter Mom. An inch taller. Then 2…3…4 inches as he topped 6 feet. Matt felt something shift inside of him. An energy drained as he stopped growing. His throat tickled as his Adam's apple bulged. Age lines etched lightly at his eyes and mouth. Stubble broke through his cheeks, chin and upper lip. Hair had broken out on his arms and legs too. Fully formed and muscled, his body was still adjusting. His fingers and toes stretched out, his hands and feet widened to their new size stopping points. Matt blushed looking down at his strained trunks. They looked painted on, super tight on his thighs, he could feel his ass being squeezed and he had a very prominent bulge in the front. And while Nina stole a glance there, Heather looked at Angelica. Angelica was honestly feeling every emotion possible, up and down. A bit scared and nervous, yet also yearning for her own change to start. Eager and enthusiastic, curious and fascinated. Seeing her son suddenly grown up was overwhelming though. Her little boy now her age of 35, the balance was off and her changes would need to settle it. Conflicting thoughts and memories were already combining and bouncing off one another as she searched for words. A gurgling sound could be heard building up, Angelica realized it was coming from her. She felt an electricity surrounding her, the potential of it. "I'm actually looking forward to this, you know" she admitted. "Good" Matt said with a little jump of surprise at the deep sound of his mature voice. "You should be…it's amazing to feel and go through and now, I'm so looking forward to seeing you change too" Angelica blushed and gave him a knowing smile accompanied by a nod. A quick spasm of her muscles. Angelica froze then shivered and shuddered from head to toe. "Welp…here I go" She bobbed her head nervously yet her smile exuded eagerness. "Oooo!" She shivered again and rose up on the balls of her feet and scrunched up her shoulders "My stomach is flipping like crazy!" Her shoulders tensed and her chest shot out forward in reaction but then, "AAAAHHH!" She exclaimed seeing her chest begin to diminish and shrink back as her shoulders and back crept inward. Angelica giggled as the other three smiled while watching in fascination. Her bathing suit and the lucrative, spandex fabric clung to her now shrinking body. Even with the cover up wrapped around her waist, Nima noticed Angelica's ass flattening and her hips narrowing inward. Her thighs thinned. Her muscle tone lessened and she put out her arms straight in front of her, her jaw hanging, occasional expressions of shock escaped her mouth. Her upper arms slimmed down drastically changing their look from mature and full to stick thin and juvenile. Her fingers shrank down atop pulsating hands and she wiggled her no longer elegant digits. They were smoothing out and becoming pudgy in appearance; the hands of a kid. Angelica was shrinking. Inches started to roll back. She jumped again and set her feet further apart upon landing. She stared down as the floor appeared to rise up closer to her eye. When she looked up, she found herself an inch shorter than Nina. Her own son looked and simply seemed older than her. She perceived him as older than her. Matthew felt it as well as his expression changed. Like a shock to his system, he scanned his shrinking Mother up and down. A look of surprise changed to confusion and then to confidence and then to caring "You're doing so great Mom! You look younger and so cute" Angelica blushed and giggled. She hunched her shoulders forward and covered her chest with her skinny arms as her breasts shrank back. Angelica looked down. In just her swimsuit, she saw it pulling in as her chest dwindled. Angelica's breasts tingled like mad and she wanted to scratch at them as they tightened, pulling up closer. The extra weight and heft lifted as they shrank. From pendulous to high and tight, they regressed further into her body as her age dropped. Nina and Heather were both more interested in Angelica's face. Her features softened. Her intent gaze of her deep blue eyes softened. Previously the owner of a near cynical perpetual look, an innocence and hopefulness crept into her eyes as her lines lifted up. The deep line that creased her forehead vanished as her forehead smoothed out and her brows thinned. Angelica held her mouth and lips tight, almost a scowl but always hinting at a serious nature but now, her lips thinned and the corners lifted into a more natural smile. Combined with her wider eyes, her whole expression reversed from serious to carefree. Her face rounded, her cheeks puffed up and her chin and jaw weakened. She squinted as her teeth changed shape, size and type as they reverted to the teeth of a 7 year old. She giggled again, a childish sound now escaping her lips. She shimmied her hips with a "Wooo!" And her cover up slipped off and fell to the ground at her shrinking feet. Angelica danced and jumped free, her swimsuit bounced loosely as her toes wiggled wildly. Her toes were shrinking down, the skin of her feet were softening up, her rough heels turned soft and pink as they shrank down small and dainty. Angelica froze, seeing all eyes upon her. She realized that she had shrunk down to become the shortest of all of them. Originally the tallest, now she was a few inches shorter than Heather. Matthew looked huge to her, but in a comforting way. Even Nina seemed comforting, the steady hand and presence of an adult which was something that she no longer felt like. The sparkles erupted from the ground at their feet and both Matt and Angelica were lifted up. "Ah!" Angelica kicked against her rising up until she felt a new and different tickling sensation. Her huge swimsuit shot inward and tightened, forming up against her skinny little body. A colorful pattern appeared on the previously plain black. Moana came into view until she was wearing a matching suit to Heather's. Her hair tie tightened down on her thinner and much blonder hair and a new pair of Mickey Mouse ears popped onto her head. Black and red and accented with silver sequins. Bright pink nail polish popped out across the tiny nails of her fingers and toes. Matthew took in a deep breath as his skin tight Lightning McQueen swim trunks pulled out and grew larger, simply becoming a pair of fit red trunks. His eyes widened as he felt the headband slide into place. Atop his head was a pair of ears that matched Angelica's. They both had bemused looks on their faces as they gently returned to the ground. Angelica rubbed her forearm. Her Jack Skellington tattoo was gone of course but she saw it now transferred to Matt's calf. Matt reached down and rubbed his lower leg with "Huh" Matt and Angelica exchanged a look. Their eyes met and their entire relationship flipped on its head. A mental exchange occurred beyond basic comprehension but it passed a sense of peace and understanding over both of them. "WHOA! Look at us!" Matthew exclaimed excitedly. He looked down at his new body, impressed. "I know…it's real magic!" Angelica replied, bouncing with the energy and enthusiasm of a child. Matt kneeled down and put his hand on Angelica's shoulder to look her in the eye. Angelica looked back with childish innocence in her eyes and he brought her in for a big hug. "Are you okay with this?" He asked her. Angelica nodded and whispered "Yes…are you?" Matthew felt warm as he nodded "Yes I am" He stood up and it was awkward for a moment before Nina laughed "So, um, are we going swimming?" The two girls bounced and yelled out to the pool they went. Nina and Matt found chairs while Heather and Angelica jumped right into the shallow end. Heather looked down the pool. The 5 foot area was intimidating so they played and splashed no deeper than the 3 ft area. While the girls worked off some energy, Nina and Matt talked. Awkwardly at first, they gradually opened up. "So…what do two kids, an 8 year old and a 7 year old, who suddenly transformed into adults talk about?" Nina asked as she stretched her long legs out on a beach chair. Matt blushed and shook his head "I don't know. I am so overwhelmed right now. My mind is so scrambled…" "Oh I know, it's like new stuff is constantly coming to me. Like I'm in the middle of a software update" "Oh we definitely got upgrades haha" Matt said. He put his arms out "I can’t get over this. How is this real?" "I actually have no idea…it's so crazy! I'm catching up…I'm now the Mom and she's my daughter instead of the other way around. My education is all there. Memories are there" "That’s what I'm finding too! It feels natural and normal yet, we all know it's not!" Matthew added. Matthew also noticed Nina. New feelings really reared up at the sight of her legs. She slipped them back and forth as she talked, her feet shuffling and moving against each other. Her flat stomach, the slight jiggle of her breasts in the bikini top as she laughed. Her face was so pretty, so natural and nonchalant in its beauty. Nina, for her part, noticed Matthew. His chest, his arms, his shoulders, his face. So many new emotions came to her but all of them made her feel happy, warm and bubbly. They spent an hour at the pool. Then it was back to the rooms to change. Both Heather and Angelica had an appointment to have lunch with the Princesses. Heather got into a full Cinderella dress, complete with her special ears. Angelica found a Belle dress in her luggage now. She got dressed and put on her special ears as well. She didn't want to go anywhere without them now. They all sat together at a table. Numerous Princesses came around. Heather got her picture taken with Cinderella and Ariel and Jasmine. Angelica got hers with Moana and Snow White and Belle and they got a whole group picture with Mulan. Then it was on to Epcot. More rides and Nina drank wine from France while Matt had German beer. The kids ran and rushed about as the adults tried to keep up. Another long day came to an end. Matthew helped Angelica get ready for bed back in their room. She fell asleep quickly but he stayed up, thinking about what had happened to them. He didn't know if he should feel guilty about just how much he had enjoyed the day. They met up again in the morning and went to Animal Kingdom. "So…still enjoying this? Being on this side of the coin?" Nina asked Matt as they started walking to the exhibits. Angelica and Heather were running to the fronts to get good views with their tiny frames. Matt smiled and nodded "Maybe more than I should be" he admitted. Nina took his hand and squeezed it "I know exactly what you mean! Like…should I feel guilty about feeling so good like this?" "I know right?!" Matthew looked at Angelica, who appeared very happy and content. They walked hand in hand as they talked about their conflicted feelings. "Hey…look at those two" Angelica said, seeing the two adults holding hands. "Ohmygosh! Like a real Fairy Tale!" Heather exclaimed "Are they? Do you think they like being big?" Angelica crinkled up her face "I guess so" she said in a disgusted voice "Better them than us" she added laughing" "You said it" Angelica replied. "Do you like it better like this?" Heather asked. Angelica thought on it "You know what, I think I do. I mean. I wasn't sure that I would. It was a really big thing to switch ages but, I have to think I do like being like this" Heather nodded seriously "Me too. I was pretty freaked out and scared at first. You know, the loss of being in charge, giving that away and up…pretty scary but, they seem to be doing a good job and…"Ohmygosh! They just kissed!" Heather and Angelica exchanged a look of absolute shock. Their jaws hung open staring back at Matt and Nina. Matt and Nina were sharing their own look. A bit of shock but much more was elation, excitement, potential and deep down desire. They were pushing it. Pushing the minors and boundaries. Pushing who they really were, were they kids or were they in their 30s. They both blushed when they realized that they were being watched. The next few days, the 4 of them hung out and explored. They all had fun. It was fun. All of them really were enjoying themselves but as their last day dawned, decisions had to be made. They gathered in the room, the Fairy Godmother statue stood by in the corner. "So…what are we going to do?" Nina asked to begin. "What can we do? We don't even know if we can control this or not" Matt said. He walked to the Fairy Godmother "She came to life to change us…in Cinderella, she changes back" "But she gets a happy ending!" Heather exclaimed. "Do we agree on what a happy ending would be?" Nina countered. "I think we do" Angelica replied, looking around at all of them. Nina blushed. Matt smiled. Heather giggled and nodded looking at Angelica. "Yeah…I think we do actually agree" Nina looked at Matt, who nodded in agreement. "Then we need to wish! All of us! We all wish for the same thing at once and then it'll come true!" Heather said excitedly. Heather concentrated, closing her eyes tight "I wish we could all stay like this!" Angelica grabbed Heather's hand and squeezed "I wish we could all stay like this!" Nina shrugged and elbowed Matt. They joined hands and then Matt took Angelica's hand and Nina took Heather's to form a circle. 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 Heather reacted first. Her eyes sprung open upon hearing the piano trill. The Fairy Godmother statue was sparkling. Her wand flicked and with a wink of her eye they all heard "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo! Your wish has come true!" Sparkles and stars shot out in a cascade worthy of a fireworks show, swirling around them, engulfing all 4 of them in a bright light. They all still held hands, all squeezing tight. Then, the sparkles spun,held for just a moment, then fell away to the ground. All 4 of them were frozen as their sight returned to normal. Nina felt a strong hand in her left and a hand much smaller than her own in her right. She opened her eyes. Heather could sense other people around her still being bigger than her. She opened her eyes. Mother and daughter looked at each other and squealed in delight. Their wish had come true. 3 years later… Nina fidgeted with her wedding ring. The heat and humidity had made it tight on her swollen finger. Nina was miserable. She never thought she could ever be miserable at Disney but she was. She sighed, fanning herself as she sat on a bench. Finally, she saw them. Matt approached smiling. 11 year old Heather rushed up first followed by 10 year old Angelica just a step back. "Mom! It was great! It's too bad you couldn't ride it!" Angelica said as Heather nodded vigorously. "It was cool honey" Natt added more sympathetically. "Well, I'll just have to ride it next time" she sighed. "Can we get something to eat?" She added as she stood up with an even heavier sigh. Nina hefted her 8 months pregnant belly up and cradled it in her hands, giving it a rub "Baby girl here is kicking up a storm.in this heat" "Of course honey" Matt replied quickly. "Your wish is our command" "Yeah, and don't forget that either" she laughed, heading to the air conditioning of the restaurant.

That Friday evening was the last night of my trip to London, and it was already night by the time I returned after my interviews. Opening the door to Rebekah’s flat I was met with a blast of music and flashing lights that nearly knocked me over, as Bekah stood in the doorway in front of me. Behind her, a set of strobe lights and a stereo set at full blast had turned her tiny home into an equally tiny nightclub. “What is this?” I asked as my friend ushered me into her dimly-lit living room. Behind her, she was also mixing drinks at her kitchen counter, which she had turned into a bar. “Well,” she called over a bass-boosted remix of Ed Sheeran’s latest overplayed hit, “I figured we could go dancing tonight, since I’ve, you know, ruined your whole visit with my foul mood this week.” Bekah had been sombre for days, quietly going to work each morning, eating dinner with me in the evenings and sometimes crying into both my shoulders at once while I described in what horrific ways I

Home The interviews went unremarkably. For the first one I kept the mask on, which they didn’t give me any trouble over, but for the second, I removed it, and as expected, it was tough for my interviewers to maintain eye contact. “Is that a second mouth?” one had asked. I answered with a “yes, sir,” with one mouth, and “it is,” with the other, without any pause. I could see his eyes widen for a second, but to his credit he kept his composure and gave me a polite nod. “That’s interesting. Well, we’re completely accepting of those of us with Differences,” he had said, using the politically correct term. “In fact I think on our HR team we have someone with fourteen fingers.” Every person with a Difference, whether relatively small like mine or absolutely mental like Bekah’s, has a go-to reaction when typical-bodied people try to be nice by telling us how their friend or coworker or cousin has an extra spleen or whatever. Some of us raise our eyebrows and nod, or give a little

The Next Day Breakfast was an uninvolved affair. A bowl of cereal for me, two for Bekah, with some strawberries she needed to get through before they went bad. Bekah held the bowl in one pair of hands and spoon fed the other like a mother feeding a child, and then periodically switched. “With most people I wouldn’t eat like this,” she told me as she fed another bite into her waiting mouth. “But you, I feel comfortable around.” I smiled into my bowl and finished my cereal while she started on her second. With the body that was feeding the other, she started talking about work. “I told you about Jonathan, right?” I nodded, and went back into the bedroom. “From sales, yeah.” I called, getting dressed from my open suitcase. “I think I’ll ask him if he wants to get drinks today.” I was surprised, and if I’m being honest, a little disappointed. But of course I bit my tongues. “And how does he feel about being outnumbered two to one?” I asked as I dug through my clothes. No answer. I
