Shy's POV

I stared back at myself in surprise.

Was this really me?!

I touched my cheeks, my nose, my face, my chest, my hips, my hair, all while examining my new form with wide eyes. What in the world had happened to me?

Violette.

My eyes widened when I suddenly remembered the Nurse explaining to Leigh that Violette had shape shifting magic.

"Oh, geez..."

I remembered that when I had first met Violette, she'd asked if I had ever wanted to become taller or more mature in a physical way. I bit my lip and glanced at myself one last time. I looked so beautiful and... womanly. No one would call me a kid with such a body and a face... I'd be stared at, but it would be for a good reason. A small smile crossed my lips, imagining the looks on my friends' faces when they saw how beautiful I'd become. I turned to walk out of the infirmary when I thought about what I was wearing. Hoping the Nurse wouldn't mind, I changed out of my uniform, left it on the hospital bed, and slipped one of her uniforms over my body, then left to go find Leigh.

Regular POV

Leigh was the first out of his classroom when the bell rang. He met Lysander and Rosalya at their lockers, but was too determined to find Shy and barely stopped to greet them. He walked quickly toward the infirmary, his friend and his brother trailing behind him, attempting to keep up.

"Leigh, slow down, my calves hurt!" Rosalya whined.

"Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to walk a little slower, it's not like she's slowly turning into a microscopic version of herself... or... you know... shrinking so small that you can't even see her... Or dying because her body shrank so little and we'll have to look at her from a microscope from now on..."
"Ah!" Rosalya stared at Lysander in horror, "You really think she's gotten that little?! That would be terrible! Oh, poor shy! How are we ever going to return her to norma-"
Leigh stopped walking and turned to give his brother and his friend a fierce, warning glare.

"Sorry." Lysander and Rosalya apologized at the same time.

When Leigh started walking again, Rosalya and Lysander were careful to keep their mouths shut, following along quickly.

When they reached the infirmary, Leigh burst through the door.

"Shy!"

Three pairs of beautiful, confused vampire eyes wandered over to the small uniform that was without a doubt Shy's.

"Oh, no.." Rosalya ran over to the hospital bed and picked up the uniform. Lysander and Leigh appeared at her sides. They stared at the uniform for a second.

Rosalya exploded, "Shy! Wherever you are – stay still! We'll come find you!"

Leigh sighed, "Rosalya, I don't think she's gotten that small. Unfortunately for us, that should mean she left when she woke up..."

"Should we ask around? I mean, I know it's not a good idea for us to ask vampires around for a tiny, defenseless, naked human girl..."
Leigh turned and walked out of the infirmary. Rosalya lay Shy's uniform down and she and Lysander followed him.

The hallways were abuzz with talk about some new girl running around in a nurses uniform.

Leigh touched a guy chattering in a group about the mysterious new girl and asked for more information.

"Dude, she's so hot! No one knows who she is... but she looks kinda like that half breed Shyann Summers, but she must be her older sister or something!"

Rosalya touched the guys wrist, "Is she tall? Regular size? Not 3 inches tall, or anything?"

The boy frowned, "Uh... yeah, shes about my height."
Rosalya, Lysander, and Leigh left the boy to return to his conversation, continuing to ask around for Shy.

"I wonder how she looks now..." Rosalya wondered out loud.

"I some how can't picture her in a more womanly form."
"Eh, Lysander, don't insult her behind her back."

"I'm not insulting anyone."
"Oh, really? Then you only see her as a child? People as small and nervous like her aren't usually comfortable with themselves, so it's like a crime to talk about them like that."
"Look, I was just saying that her personality fits her image well... if that makes sense.."
"Will you two please be silent for just one moment? Unlike you, I am trying VERY hard to find -"
"You guys! There you are!"

All three of the vampires turned to the slightly familiar voice and their eyes widened at the person they had expected to see – morphed into a woman.

They stood there, wide eyed as they took in all of her enchanting beauty.

Shy's POV
I felt my cheeks slowly redden and I wished I had a jacket to cover up. I'd been getting weird looks since I'd left the infirmary, but I felt like my friend's opinions mattered.

Their eyes wandered all over me, looking at my new curves.

"Shy... is that... really you?" Lysander asked slowly. I was his height now and could look him directly in the eye. Rosalya beamed, "Woooooow, Violette's magic is awesome! Look at you! You're like a model! And you look so much older, like you're in your twenties."
I nervously looked up at Leigh, secretly hoping he would complement my new look.

Instead, he shook the astonished look off of his face and grabbed my wrist.

"We need to find Violette so she can return you to your normal self."
My heart practically shattered. I felt embarrassed and... I guess you could say rejected.. in a way.

He could have at least said I looked different.

I mean, SERIOUSLY. Out of all the things to say to a girl who changed her appearance!

Strangely enough, it was like his opinion mattered the most.

If it hadn't, I wouldn't have minded him trying to get me back to normal, I would be happy the whole school could see how pretty I'd gotten.

Right. I was about tired of being small. I wanted to stay like this!

Seriously! That's ALL he had to say! This is really pissing me off! I don't want to go back! People underestimate me because I'm so small!

Lucine went through a fit of rage on the inside of me, cursing at Leigh for being such a jerk and not noticing how we- I mean, I felt.

I'm so mad right now that I-

My blood began to boil, my mind began to change, and I slipped away.

Regular POV

Leigh felt it when Shy stopped walking and turned to glance at her.

"Come o-"

Shy's eyes went dull for a second and her friends thought she looked similar to a robot that had been shut down.

The robot-shy's eyes changed from aluminum/ amethyst to glowing amethyst and powered on.

Lucine snatched her hand away from Leigh's grip and glared daggers at him.

"I'm not going!" she gritted her teeth.

Leigh blinked, "What...?"

"I'm not going, I said! What are you, deaf?!"

The hallway chatter silenced and teenagers turned their attention to the 4 students in the hallway.

"Lu...Lucine...? But how...?"
"Don't you get it?! Don't any of you get it?! You didn't even stop to ask me if I wanted to go to Violette! The only thing I'll be going to meet Violette about is to thank her. I hate being me! So small and childish! Now, look at me! Violette has turned me into someone that looks like a model, while it's me at the same time! This is fantastic! But you-" Lucine poked Leigh in his chest, "- can't see that. How come you're the only one, huh, Leigh?!"

Leigh cursed at himself when he saw Lucine's eyes water.

"Lucine, forgive me, I didn't mean to-"

He reached out toward her, but Lucine slapped his hand away and turned to walk off.

~1 hour later~

"Hey, Violette."

Lucine felt awkward, she had never really approached someone like this before.

Violette shut her locker and turned to look at Lucine. A second later, her eyes widened and she bowed.

"Wow, I... This is weird... um, you see, I was trying to help you...I wasn't trying to insult you or anything...I swear, it should ware off soon, so please, don't be too mad!"

Lucine stared solemnly at Violette, who was still bowing.

"Are you going straight home? I thought maybe we could go out somewhere."

Violette stood straight up. She stared at Lucine a moment before an excited smile crossed her lips.

"Oh, really? That sounds like fun, why don't we go get ice cream first?"

And so, when the final school bell rang, a frustrated Lucine and a very excited Violette went out – for the first time for either of them – with a friend.
