Molly sighed.She should have been happy, it was her 18th birthday in a couple of days, she should be looking forward to the party and the alcohol and one of her final steps into adulthood, but truth of it was, Molly wasn't.Molly wasn't excited at all.She felt disillusioned with life, she was fed up with the constant demands in her life, either from school, from her mom or from her part time job at the family restaurant.She just wished she could go back to simpler times when nothing really mattered other than playing games.She wouldn't tell that to anyone though.Oh no.That would be too much.Instead she would play her part in society, doing as she was told and toeing the line, living on her daydreams of happier, more innocent times.
She brushed a strand of her long brown hair out of her brown eyes and adjusted the black hair band that held her hair out of her face. An average looking girl, of middle height, middle weigh and nothing stunningly gorgeous to look at.She wasn't ugly, not by a long shot, but she had a plain quality about her that just made most people ignore she was even there.Everyone with the exception of Jennifer and Sarah.
Jennifer was about 4 months older that Molly, She had red hair that fell to just above shoulder height, it was often heavily gelled and spiked.Jennifer could be a bit harsh at times often speaking before she thought.Sarah was the opposite.With blonde hair and blue eyes, she was about 6 months younger than Molly and was the cute one of the group.She was often quietly spoken and quick to get emotional.The threesome shouldn't have worked.It was still difficult to understand how they had come to be such firm friends.Perhaps the fact that they were each misfits to some degree.Either way the three of them were very rarely seen parted.
Molly wandered over to Sarah and Jennifer's table and placed their coffees and sandwiches down.
"Here you go guys.Glad you both could come over and spend time with me at work.It's so dull around here.Time really drags."
Jennifer picked up her hot coffee cup and blew gently on the contents.
"don't mention it.It's not like we were doing much today anyway"
Sarah nodded in agreement but didn't add anything to the conversation as she picked up her sandwich and tucked in.Molly smiled at her two friends.She was about to say something when one of her work colleagues came over.
"Hey. Molly.Once you're finished serving these customers get some gloves and a mop and bucket will ya.A kid has peed in the ball pool again and it needs disinfecting."
Molly sighed as she looked over at the restaurants safe play area for children.So many times she was wanted to take a dip in the ball pool and mess around, instead she was forced to clear the thing out whenever a kid lost a diaper or was sick.She nodded miserably.
" I better go guys."She muttered apologetically at her friends and went to gather the cleaning supplies.
An hour later she pulled herself from the children's play area, a strong smell of disinfectant wafted around the ball pool now that her job was done. She felt satisfied she had done a good job as she pulled off her yellow marigolds.She didn't enjoy her job but she took pride in her professionalism.She wanted to show a girl who took her job seriously.Even the mucky parts.
Her train of thought was suddenly brought back to the present when she realised someone was stood right beside her.She looked up, shocked by the smiling old woman stood beside her.Her shocked expression vanished as she recognised the strange woman that had been coming into the restaurant every day for the past week around lunchtime, like it was now.Molly had even gotten to know the woman a little bit, she was on holiday from Europe, visiting relatives although molly had never seen any of the relatives in here with the old woman.
"Oh hello Mrs Murphy. Can I help you at all?"
Molly's mannerisms were always polite, even when she was feeling depressed like today.Mrs Murphy just stared at Molly for a few moments.Molly wondered if the woman had even heard her question and was about to repeat herself when Mrs Murphy spoke.
"Dear, I go back to Britain today, so I wanted to just pop in and give you something for being such wonderful company here over the past few days."
Molly was stunned,she had been kind to Mrs Murphy but she hadn't expected to be rewarded for something that should be second nature to everyone.
"Oh,Mrs Murphy, seriously you didn't have to do anything for me.It was a pleasure being your waitress"
Molly blushed, her heart fluttered happily that her attention to the customers and her job had been recognised as Mrs Murphy handed her a digital voice recorder .Molly took it and stared dumbly at the device not realising what it was.
"Errr...thank you."
She said not wanting to sound unkind, but not entirely sure what Mrs Murphy expected her to do with it.Mrs Murphy leaned in, whispering in a conspiratorial manner.
"That my dear in a reality altering device.Press the red button here, that pauses things then, say what you want into the microphone piece here and TA-DA instant altered reality.I'm giving it to you, because I can tell you'll put it to good use.You have a kind heart.I can tell.I have a sense for these things."
Molly realised the poor old woman was clearly at that age where people started loosing their marbles and she plastered a fake grin on her face and hugged the digital voice recorder .
"Thank you Mrs Murphy.That was awfully thoughtful of you"
Molly didn't want to upset the old woman.
"Go on dear.Try it out."
Mrs Murphy poked Molly in the upper arm eagerly.Molly looked at the device, feeling stupid.She didn't want to dash this poor woman's delusion, but Mrs Murphy didn't seem to want to take no for an answer.Feeling ridiculous she pressed the red button, then thinking what she could do her eyes fell on her two friends, more importantly their hair colour.
"Jennifer hair colour is black, Sarah's hair colour is red"
Molly felt instantly light headed and it seemed that the room grew dark.She felt like she was going to faint, but then the light returned to the room and the sick feeling she had had vanished.
She looked around wondering if anyone had noticed anything strange but the few people in the restaurant were chatting as if nothing bizarre had happened at all. Maybe Molly had just been too close to the disinfectant.It had been pretty strong.She should have used proper ventilation.Her gaze wandered over to Jennifer and Sarah.They were arguing with each other, a common occurrence, but what Molly saw almost made her drop the digital voice recorder .Both her friends hair had changed colour to match her command.Her mouth fell open, gob smacked.Mrs Murphy shuffled off to one side chuckling.
"Well,have fun kiddo. "
Molly ran up to Mrs Murphy.
"Hey, wait.You can't just give it to me..."
Mrs Murphy cut the teenager off mid sentence.
"I can and I have.It's rude to give gifts back sweetie so just be careful with it and look after yourself"
She gently patted Molly on the arm and continued out.
Molly stood in the middle of the restaurant completely bewildered by the whole experience.She rubbed her eyes and looked at her two friends new hair colour.
Her gaze wandered down to the bucket of disinfecting water she had used to clean the ball pool.Reality struck her then, she was still at work and had to be seen to be actually working.Picking up the bucket she headed back to the staff kitchen.When she got there she put the bucket down.The kitchen was empty, she sighed at the amount of dishes needing washing up that she still had to do, but she needed to seriously think about what was going on here.Her mind was still reeling from what had just happened.She looked at the small device in her hand.Unable to really comprehend the power she had.She now had the ability to make all her dreams come true at the press of a button.The possibilities were staggering.
She was torn between wanting to throw the small machine in the bin for fear of accidentally turning reality into a nightmare, but her teenage curiosity screamed at her to try it out more.Do something more extreme.What had she always wanted? Money?Fame?These things didn't really tempt her all that much. She traced her finger around the button, holding her breath.So many ideas on what to do, her mind boggled.She caught sight of the time. She only had half an hour left of work and she hadn't even had her break today yet due to that stupid play area incident.She looked at the bucket of water and the dirty dishes stacked up.
She pressed the button hard. Scrunching up her eyes.She opened them and noticed the muffled babbling from the restaurant had faded.She peeked her head round the door way and saw life paused.Like a still on a T.V screen. Some people had stopped midway through eating and a kid who had been in the midst of jumping into the ball pool hung suspended in mid air.
She quietly returned to the kitchen feeling weak at the sight of something, that up until 20 minutes ago she would have sworn was impossible.She spoke into the machine.
"The washing up and tidying up is already done"
There was that nausea feeling again and the room seemed to swim in darkness for a second, the air became charged and then as quickly as it had appeared, it vanished leaving the room in a spotless manner.The dishes were all done, the mop and bucket was away even the microwave and fridge had been wiped down and polished.The place was gleaming.
She dropped the device in surprise and it clattered to the floor, instantly she stooped and picked it up, checked for signs of damage but it didn't seem to have a dent in it.It really looked like this was the real deal.She heart beat wildly.She could bend reality to her personal whims. The colour drained from her face.It was such a powerful thing to own
She put the digital voice recorderin her pocket and wandered out the kitchen back into the main restaurant then over to her friend's table not sure what to say.Both friends stopped chatting heatedly as Molly approached.They both looked at her and concerned expressions crossed their faces.It was Sarah who spoke.
"Molly?Are you all right?You look ill."
Molly nodded dumbfounded.
"i'm fine, really.Just need a quiet seat."She slumped down into a chair as Jennifer scoffed.
"Quiet seat. HA!You'll be lucky with all those kids running around and screaming in the play area.Its like a herd of elephants in there."
Molly looked over at the play area, wishing for the umpteenth time that she could play in there without being stared at like an oddball.Her mouth went dry as she suddenly contemplated the digital voice recorder .Would it work like that?She looked at Jennifer's black hair and Sarah's red hair.She quietly pulled the digital voice recorderup out of her pocket and pressed the red button, the whole restaurant seemed to suddenly hush as reality was paused, a small smile played on her lips as she spoke.
"It's perfectly normal for 18 year old girls to play in the play area"
There it was again, that sickening woozy feeling, the way the air seemed to grow darker, thicken, and then suddenly the room was bright again and the general background rabble of conversations had returned.
Molly looked around feeling like people must have been looking at her but no-one was.Suddenly Sarah bounced out of her chair.
"I know what'll cheer you up.20 minutes in the ball pool.That always cheers you up.You're due for a break from work now anyway right?Come on"
Sarah grabbed Molly's hand and hauled her to her feet.Once it looked like Molly was going to follow her, Sarah broke away from her older friend and raced over to the play area, easily vaulting the soft padded fence and plunged into the ball pit squealing with glee.
Molly's heart raced into her throat.She looked around and noticed that no one was paying any attention to the fact that her 17 year old friend was shouting and laughing whilst playing in the ball pit.With a deep breath molly followed her friend and jumped into the soft balls scattering them everywhere.
Instantly Molly was in heaven.She laughed and giggled as she swam through the balls then clambered up a near by netted ladder to throw herself down a slide that plunged her right back into the large ball pool.She loved every moment of it.She had wanted to do this for months.She felt content.Happy.
Jennifer wandered over to the side of the play area, she looked skyward.She was getting too old to play in the pit but she wanted to be with her friends she she stepped beyond the barrier and eased herself into the ball pit.There were other kids of various ages in the play area and one boy decided Jennifer would be a good target.He started throwing balls at her and one ball bounced off her head.
"Hey you little bastard, what the hell do you think you're playing at"
Molly had been swimming past at the time and she was shocked by Jennifer's language.
"Jenny, you don't have to swear at him, he's just playing"
"Yeah but the little dick went and messed up my hair"
She whined, regretting getting into the ball pit in the first place.Molly wasn't impressed by the swearing.She had been enjoying her little bit of innocence here in the play area but Jennifer's potty mouth had ruined her mood.She dug deeper under the balls in the ball pit and pulled out the digital voice recorderfrom her pocket.She pushed the button, recognising the fact that above the surface of the balls it had suddenly gone quiet.
"18 year olds do not know how to swear"
She popped her head up over the balls and grinned at Jennifer allowing the older 18 year old to continue her rant.
"He's such a stupid poopoo doody head.I hate him!"
Jennifer turned and stuck her tongue out at the boy, who mimicked her action and ran off laughing.Jennifer folded her arms, sulking, it was then that she caught her watch seeing the time she gasped.
"Hey Molly.Isn't your shift up now?Are you coming to with us to stay over at my house tonight like we discussed?"
Molly nodded enthusiastically, she had been looking forward to the sleep over all day.Sarah clapped happily.
"YAY YAY party!"
She threw her fists up into the air excitedly, scattering balls everywhere causing Molly to laugh as the balls showered down on her.The three friends clambered out of the ball pit.Molly looked back at it wistfully.It had been such fun playing in there.A dream come true.She patted her pocket feeling the bulk of the recorder there.How much further could she take this dream?
She gathered her bags that she had brought to work with her in anticipation of the sleepover and said goodbye to her work colleagues as she followed Jennifer and Sarahout of the restaurant. Sarah and Jennifer chatted animatedly about school and the latest episodes of their favourite drama series, whilst Molly hung back a little contemplating her options.Soon though the three of them were at Jennifer's house and she pushed open the door.
"Yo MOM!I'm Home.Sarah and Molly are staying over okay!"She shouted out.
There was an excited scream from one of the rooms and a little three year old girl came piling out of the room and catapulted herself into Jennifer.
"Jenny Jenny Yoor home!!"
The girl hugged her big sisters legs happily.Molly Loved Jennifer' sister Tabitha.She was such a bubbly little thing and it always uplifted Molly to see such a happy kid.Jennifer pulled her little sister off of her.
"Awww Tabby your covered in paint!You got it all over my skirt...you...you...Stinkybutt!"
Tabby giggled and stepped back.Molly could see she was wearing a cute set of pink overalls with white flowers embroidered on the chest pocket.Molly's heart ached to wear something that adorable and without so much as a second thought she whipped the recording device from her pocket and eagerly pressed the button. She whispered in fevered anticipation, her hand trembling at the thought of the potential outfits she would hopefully suddenly find at her disposal.
"Its perfectly acceptable for 18 year old girls to wear toddler type clothing"
The sickening feeling was partially ignored by Molly's excitement.The blackness swamped in around her and faded back out and she let out a large audible squeal of delight when she looked down at herself and at her friends.
Instead of her restaurant uniform Molly now wore a pair of grass green overalls with chunky multicoloured corduroy flowers and buttons stitched into them.Her long brown hair was in 2 bunches ties with yellow ribbon.Her black work shoes had been replaced by white sneakers that had velcro instead of shoe laces.Molly jumped up and down unable to contain how giddily happy she felt.
Sarah was wearing a yellow sun dress her new red hair was in a single ponytail that had a large sunflower clip in the back of her hair she wore flipflops on her feet. Jennifer had a short ruffled denim skirt on and a t-shirt that had happy cartoon characters on the front.Her hair was loose.
Molly bent down and ruffled Tabby's hair.Thankful to the toddler for giving her such an awesome idea.
"Hi kiddo.How's things?"
This caused Tabby to giggle shyly and run from the three girls back into the room from where she had come.Jennifer dumped her bag at the front door as she looked at the paint on her denim skirt.
"What a monkey!I'm going to have to get changed now."She stormed off up the stairs.She called down to her two friends.
"You guys make yourselves at home i'll be down in a second."
She thudded her way up the rest of the stairs, Molly could hear Jennifer muttering words like 'smelly' and 'stupid head' to herself and Molly chuckled to herself thinking how cute Jennifer sounded.The recording device was amazing.It seemed that only she knew that reality had been altered, everyone else seemed to accept everything as normality.Molly and Sarah wandered into the lounge area where Tabby was sat in the middle of the carpet painting.Jennifer's mom was sat on the sofa keeping an eye on tabby whilst watching some soap opera.
"Hi, Molly, hi Sarah. Come in, come in. don't just stand on parade.You've been here enough that you're practically family."
Jennifer's mom twisted in her seat to smile over at the two teenagers.
"Thanks Mrs Tamworth."
Sarah said taking a nearby seat and slumping into it, dropping her bag down by her feet.Molly copied her friend sitting down beside her.Tabby looked up at her mommy and the two new guests and grinned then her smile suddenly changed and she scrambled to her feet and rushed round the other side of the sofa where Molly couldn't see her.The three women watched the TV for a bit, not actually saying anything to anyone then tabby reappeared from around the other side of the sofa, carrying a red plastic potty.She was grinning from ear to ear as she tottered towards her mommy.
"Mommy MOMMY!LOOK LOOK I DID IT! I WEED"
Her mommy shot off the sofa and gently took the clearly full potty from her toddler so that the proud little girl wouldn't accidentally slosh the contents onto the floor.
"Yay Tabitha.Who's getting to be all grown up.Soon you'll get to wear big girl pants all the time.You're doing so well!"
Her mommy clapped her hands enthusiastically praising her little girl as the woman left the room, the toddler following singing and clapping
"Yay yay yay.I went in da potteee"
Molly chuckled.Kids that age were just ridiculously cute.Molly had no recollection of her own potty training.Did she get praised like that?Molly carefully took the recorder out of her pocket.Did she want to experience potty training again?It would be interesting just for a little while.She could put it all back afterwards and no-one would be any wiser.She pressed the button and licked her lips
"18 years old is a normal age to be in the stages of potty training"
She closed her eyes, the smirk on her face was radiant as she felt the all too familiar drop in the pit of her stomach and the air grew thicker then returned to normal.She instantly noticed that her pants felt thicker but she couldn't see because of the overalls she wore.Sarah suddenly burst into tears. Molly flinched at the unexpected noise and she quickly rushed over to where Sarah was sitting.
"Sarah?Sarah?What's the matter?"
Sarah simply lifted her yellow sun dress to show her cute princess pull-ups and the fact that the pictures had been washed away.
"I...I...Had an ACCIDENT!!"
Sarah wailed helplessly as big sloppy tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Sarah!It's okay.It's okay"
Molly patted her friend's shoulder reassuringly as Jennifer's Mom came back into the room at the sound of all the crying.
"What's all the fuss abou...Oh. "
Jennifer's mom was by Sarah's side in an instant.
"Sweetie, come on now, lets get you cleaned up.It's okay if you had an accident it happens to everyone when they're learning to be a big girl"
This made Sarah wail even louder
"But...But I am a big girl"She sobbed and Jennifer's mom pulled her up off the sofa and gave her a reassuring hug.
"Yes you are, but your much younger than Jennifer and even Molly is bigger than you so you're doing really well to be staying dry just as much as they are.You should be really proud of yourself.But it's okay to have an accident once in a while.Lets get you into a fresh pull-up okay"
Sarah nodded meekly and allowed herself to be led over to a pack of pull-ups in the corner of the lounge.Jennifers mom pulled Jessica's wet pull-up down and cleaned her private area with a couple of baby wipes.
"Now.Do you need to use the potty before I put you in a new pull-up?"Jennifer's mom asked tenderly.
Sarah thought about it for a moment then shyly shook her head.
"Okay, good girl now step into this okay"
She had pulled a fresh pull-up from the pack and was holding it open so that Sarah could step into the leg holes which she did without question and Jennifer's mom pulled them up to snap snuggly onto the 17 year old's waist.
"There we go, isn't that much better.Try to stay dry okay?"
Sarah brushed the tears out of her eyes and put on a brave face, nodding in a determined fashion.Jennifer's mom patted Sarah on the arm and went back to her seat.
Molly had watched all this with complete interest.She felt sorry that Sarah had ended up having an accident, but wasn't sure if she could, or even should, bring herself to do the same thing.
Suddenly Jennifer came into the room smiling now that she was in a pale blue short baby doll dress with white ankle socks and a blue hair band holding her hair out of her eyes.Molly had never seen Jennifer look so babyish and adorable.Jennifer saw Molly staring and did a quick twirl, the dress fluttered up to show Jennifer's princess pull-ups too, but she wasn't embarrassed.This was normality for her.
"Do you like it?My Mom bought it for me yesterday I wanted to show it to you guys, to see what you think."
Sarah wrapped her arms around her own waist and hugged herself.
"Oh Jenny that's beautiful!"
Molly had been about to call her adorable but she didn't know if that would make Jennifer go into a fit.Jennifer didn't like cute or cuddly things.The term Beautiful seemed to have done the trick though and Jennifer beamed happily.
"I knew you guys would like it. "
She looked at her mom.
"Mom can we go upstairs and watch TV and hang?I'm gonna order pizza as well kay?"
Her mom twisted round in her seat andsmiled.
"Sure sweetie, just make sure you take your potty with you and just remember to tinkle when you need to"
Jennifer scoffed."Mom I haven't had an accident for almost four whole days now.I think I can tell when I need to go."Jennifer whined at her mom.
Her mom chuckled.
"I know sweetie and you know the rules, a week dry in pull-ups and you can have big girl panties so you're almost there I just don't want you to ruin your track record because you're engrossed in playing with your friends that's all."
Jennifer nodded her scowl evaporating as she realised her mom was simply looking out for her.
"Okay mom."
She collected the red potty in the corner of the room and then turned to Molly and Sarah,
"Come on guys, lets go to my room"
The three girls excused themselves from the lounge and headed upstairs rapidly.In Jennifers room it looked like any normal 18 year old's room, random band posters dotted the walls a tv, music system and games consol lay in one corner.A wardrobe and desk complete with laptop.Molly smirked.It felt strange to still be on the verge of being a grown up yet still potty training.Jennifer crossed the room and turned on her TV. Some reality program was on and Jennifer clapped happily.
"Yes it's only just started, I thought we were going to miss it."
Molly slumped onto the bed and rolled her eyes to the ceiling as Sarah rushed over to the beanbag that Jennifer had flopped into and settled herself on the end of it to watch the program too. Sarah and Jennifer talked non stop about this stupid program about how Bradley and Joe were always fighting to get laid with that Lulu girl and that there was always a cat fight between Lulu and Rachel.It bored the pants off of Molly who couldn't care less about reality T.V.It was a waste of space and time and it was what her two friends argued about the most.Her friends weren't paying her any attention as she pulled her reality altering device from her pocket at pressed the button without hesitation.It wasn't right to be in the midst of potty training whilst still watching T.V filled with filth and pointless arguments and drama.
"18 year old's prefer watching children's television"
She said smuggly giggling as the sickening feeling swept over her and the darkness swamped her then settled back into normality.Her two friends were still arguing but it was about which colour Teletubby was the best.Feeling full of total happiness Molly rushed over to her two friends and threw herself into the middle of the bean bag causing the two other girls to be catapulted from the beanbag and squeal in shock at the sudden intrusion.
"Everyone knows the red one is the best teletubby"
Molly giggled happy to be part of one of her friend's arguments for once.
The evening progressed as it grew dark outside, the pizza came and they ate it happily amongst themselves in Jennifer's room as they watched cartoons and played video games.Soon it was getting close to bedtime.Jennifers mom yelled up from downstairs.
"Lights out in twenty minutes girls its almost 11pm"
All three made a collective "AWWWW!" noise but Molly and Sarah scrambled to their bags to get their pyjamas.
Molly opened her bag and gasped in delight as she pulled a baby pink footed sleeper from her bag.She hugged the fleecy garment almost audibly purring at the soft feel of it.She pulled it out and took the opportunity to put her recorder in her bag, she doubted she would need it for the rest of the night.
She turned round and grinned at Jennifer and Sarah only there were tears in Jennifer's eyes.Molly had never seen Jennifer cry before and the look on her friend's face startled her.
"Jennifer are you okay"
Jennifer was quiet but shook her head.
"Whats the matter?"
It suddenly occured to Molly what was up.
"Did...Did you have an accident"
Jennifer just burst into a sob.Molly rushed over.Sarah sat on the beanbag, knowing how it felt.Jennifer put her hand over her mouth to stop the crying and she looked at Molly her eyes pleading.
"Molly, mom can't know about this. I stayed dry for three whole days.If she finds out i'm wet, it'll be reset and I won't be in big girl pants for ages.Trade with me.Please!"
"WHAT?"
"Trade with me.You're still dry right?Lets swap.That way mom will think it was you that wet yourself and not me"
"But...But I didn't wet myself you did"
Jennifer started to cry again.Molly sighed and unbuckled her overalls. Jennifer was lucky that Molly was such a nice person and she guessed she owed Jennifer since it was her device that had made it so the teenagers were in the midst of potty training.
Soon Molly was just standing in her pink t-shirt and pull-up.
"Jenny take yours off"She said quietly.
Jennifers sobbing stopped instantly as she fumbled under her blue dress and pulled down the soaked pull-up, stepping out of it gingerly she handed it to Molly.Molly didn't take it though.
"i'm not actually putting that back on me.That's disgusting but...turn round"
She stared at Jennifer and Sarah as they suddenly understood she was ordering them to avert their gaze.Once the two had looked away. Molly pulled her own dry pull-up down and pulled her overalls back on to hide the fact she wore no pants.She didn't do up the buckles on the straps as she would be in getting into her new footed sleeper in a minute.
"Okay you can turn back around now."
The two girls did and Molly handed Jennifer the dry pull-up.Jennifer smiled through her wet blotchy face.
"Thanks Molls You're the best!"
Jennifer handed Molly the wet one again so that she could use both hands to pull the dry one on.Molly took it, holding it out as if it was contaminated.
"eeewww"She giggled making jennifer blush as she pulled the dry one up between her legs and out of view under the blue dress she wore.
The bedroom door suddenly swung open.
"I'm just making sure you girls are getting ready for bed..."
The whole room froze and for once Molly wished it had been because she had pressed her reality altering device.Sadly it was through shock.Jennifers mom surveyed what lay before her for a few moments.She saw Molly holding the wet pull-up, her overalls unbuckled.
"What's going on?"
She asked as she crossed the room and held out her hands towards Molly indicting to the teenager that she wanted the wet pull-up.Molly gladly released it into her hands. It was then that she felt the hot trickle between her legs.
"Oh no no no!"
molly moaned as she grabbed at her crotch, a large dark patch staining the front of her childish overalls.Jennifers mom simply tutted in mild annoyance.
"Molly.it's okay if you have an accident..."
She held out the wet pull-up
"...But you can't just take them off by yourself and not put on a fresh one or THAT happens!"
She pointed to the expanding wet patch and the mess Molly was in the midst of making.Molly was mortified as her bladder emptied.
"But...but..."Molly stammered but Jennifers mom cut her off.
"No buts young lady. Downstairs now so I can clean you up.I promised your mom you could stay the night and she assured me you'd be well behaved.Don't go proving her wrong kiddo okay"
Molly simply nodded.She didn't want to get Jennifer in trouble and telling the truth about the owner of the wet pull-up probably wouldn't do Molly any good now that she had wet herself in front of everyone.Poor timing to say the least.Molly took a quick glance backwards as she was frog marched out of the bedroom in her wet overalls and down the stairs.She saw Jennifer looking back, wide eyed but her expression full of gratitude for Molly's sacrifice.
Molly was quickly stripped and wiped clean, then helped into a clean pull-up.She felt embarrassed but at the end of it.Jennifer's mom pulled her into a tight hug.
"It'll be all right.I didn't mean to snap at you but potty training is tricky and you shouldn't take unnecessary risks okay.I don't want to catch you doing that again or I'll take drastic action and put you back into diapers for the night."
Molly shied away from the idea.That would be a little too embarrassing especially in front of Sarah and Jennifer.
"I'll be good Mrs Tamworth.I promise"molly said sincerely.
Jennifer's mom smiled. "Good girl now get to bed"
Molly scrambled up the stairs in just her t-shirt and pull-up having left her pyjamas back in Jennifer's room.Jenny and Sarah were already in their footed sleepers.Jennifer was in her bed and Sarah was laying on top of her starry patterned sleeping bag on the floor.Molly noticed that her own sleeping bag was a blue's clues one.That cheered her up a little.She picked up her footed sleeper and stepped into it pulling it up to her waist.
"Thanks for covering for me Molls.I really owe you."
Jennifer mumbled gratefully.Molly shrugged and grinned at her friend.
"That's what friends do right?"
Jennifer nodded in appreciation.
"Yeah it's gonna be so cool when the three of us finally graduate in a week from high school and go to college.We'll look out for each other through thick and thin huh"
Molly nodded but her smile faded.College.In her reality altering stupor she had forgotten that graduation was coming up very soon and that they would be expected to attend college.She really didn't want to go, but Jennifer and Sarah seemed so excited about it.Molly just wanted a carefree life.Was that so much to ask?
She pulled her t-shirt off and un-hooked her bra but didn't pull it off, instead she slipped her arms into the sleeper and then threaded her bra straps out from underneath so that she didn't expose herself to her friends.She zipped up her sleeper and then, making a decision she wandered over to her bag and pulled out her reality altering device pressing the button.
"We are not graduating from high school to College. We are graduating from day care to kindergarten"
as an after thought she threw in
"It's okay to play with toddler toys"
Molly grinned as the darkness faded. She dumped the device back in her bag and was about to zip it up when she realised her teddy bear was in there.She pulled the fluffy pink bear out and smiled at it's smiley face.It had a zipper in its back so that a hot water bottle could be placed inside.Having a genius thought she pulled the small hot water bottle out and getting the device back out of her bag she stuffed it inside the teddy bear.It was a perfect hiding spot.She smiled at her cleverness.
"I can't wait till we get to learn the whole alphabet. It's gonna be soo cool"
Sarah gushed enthusiastically.
"And writing.I'm gonna write my name every day"
She traced her finger in mid air making swirls as she pretended to write.
"My mom is gonna be really proud of me"
Molly noddedas she listened and tried to picture her name written down. She found that she couldn't quite get her thoughts around the names for each letter. It felt weird but in a good way.In an exciting fresh innocent way.She found herself giggling and both her friends looked at her oddly.
"Molly?What's so funny?"
Jennifer askedMolly just grinned at her friend.
"i'm just really happy that tomorrow is one of our last days at daycare"
This seemed to be a good enough explanation for Jennifer and she nodded.
"Yep, no more baby stuff, we're gonna be big girls"
The three teenagers snuggled down into their beds.Molly looked around the room which now had posters of kids cartoons on the walls and the shelves were scattered with kids story books and toys.
Her heart beat madly in her chest.This was the sort of thing she had always dreamed of. She felt at peace with herself, her carefree nature finally being realised in reality.She hugged her pink teddybear as tears of happiness trickled down her face.She wiped them away feeling a little bit silly.
Jennifer's mom pushed the door open to see all three girls tucked in.
"Night girls, see you in the morning.You've got a busy day at daycare so sleep well"
Jennifer's mom switched off the bedroom light.
"Nite mom"Jennifer mumbled.Molly was feeling her eyes grow heavy and even though she was unbelievablyexcited about tomorrow she soon drifted off into blissful sleep.
...
Molly woke the next morning and for a few moments, disorientation hit her as she didn't recognise the room she was in.Then she remembered she was sleeping at Jenny's house. She rolled over in her sleeping bag and came face to face with her large pink teddy bear.That was right.Yesterday she had altered reality to the point where 18 year old teenagers were still going through potty training.She chuckled quietly to herself.What a strange thing to think.It sounded more like something she would expect from a comic book.Not something that had actually happened.She allowed herself a broad grin.This was amazing! It really hadn't been a dream.
Suddenly the air was knocked out of her as Sarah jumped on top of her and began a tickle attack.Molly was lucky as she was mainly still inside her Blues Clues sleeping bag so the tickling wasn't too severe but she squealed nonetheless from the shock of the attack.Sarah was smaller than Molly and she was easily pushed off and suddenly it was Sarah who was the one being tickled.Sarah only wore a white t-shirt with My Little Ponies on it and her princess pull-up.Molly noticed that Sarah was already wet as she continued to tickle her friend, whilst Jennifer sat cross legged on her own bed and yelled encouragement at her two tussling pals on the floor.Jennifer's mom opened her bedroom door.
"I can hear from the racket in here that everyone is awake.In which case, stop messing around and get dressed please.Breakfast is on the table and its almost time for daycare."
Sarah and Molly stopped messing around and untangled themselves from each other.Sarah stood and raised her hand sheepishly.She didn't have to say anything though as Jenny's mom noticed what was wrong.
"Okay Sarah, downstairs pronto and we'll get that wet pull-up off of you.What about you other two"
Jennifer shook her head."All dry mom."
Molly grabbed at her crotch trying to tell whether she was still dry through her footed sleeper.She felt dry enough.
"I'm dry too thanks"
She said happily, noticing Sarah looking a little sad that she had been the only one to wake up wet.
"Come on the Sarah, lets get cracking.The day is wasting"
Jennifer's mom chimed as she pushed Sarah towards the bedroom door and out of sight.
Jennifer went to her wardrobe to pick out an outfit.Molly scrambled to her feet and dug around in her overnight bag to see what it was that she would be wearing for the day.
A deep pink corduroy set of overalls was pulled out of her bag accompanied by a soft pink fleecy jumper.A pair of white and pink striped woolly socks and a pair of black Mary Jane shoes with pink flowers on them.She almost swooned at the ensemble.It was adorable.
Immediately she found herself tugging the zip of her footed sleeper down.She faced the wall as she did so. so that Jennifer wouldn't see her topless as she latched on her bra.It felt a little odd dressing in toddler clothes but still having a 36C bust.Molly's figure, whilst not stunning, certainly had curves in all the right places but once dressed the shapelessness of the overalls hid her womanly curves quite successfully.She sat on the edge of Jenny's bed as she pulled on her woolly socks over her pull-ups.She caught a glimpse of herself in Jennifer's wardrobe mirror and the smile on her face evolved into a large grin.She buckled up her Mary Jane shoes and jumped up onto her feet to give a little twirl in front of the mirror.
"That looks pretty cute."
Jennifer stood there as she complimented her friend with her arms crossed against a white short sleeved dress with polka dots all over it.She had brushed her short black hair and pushed a matching hair band in to pull her hair out of her eyes. Molly was about to thank Jennifer for the compliment but Jenny suddenly started pushing Molly towards the door.
"I'm starving, come on, or we wont have time for breakfast!"
Molly allowed herself to be pushed from the room just as Sarah was rushing back up the stairs to get dressed, she was now sporting a fresh pair of pull-ups with a big grin on her face.
"Jenny your mom has made pancakes!"
She yelled as she zipped past the two descending teenagers on the stairs.This caused Jenny to push Molly harder, making Molly giggle.
Moments later they were sat around the breakfast table stuffing freshly made pancakes into their mouths giggling and chatting.There was a gentle knock at the door and Jennifer's mom got up to answer it.
The three girls continued chatting happily about how they would soon be going to kindergarten when Jennifer's mom called from the hallway.
"Girls.It's the daycare crocodile.Get your jackets on please."
There was a mad dash from Jennifer and Sarah but Molly was perplexed.What was a daycare crocodile?She got up and suddenly dashed upstairs.She needed her teddy bear as it had the device in it.She grabbed it.Took one last look at her cute reflection and then scrambled back down the stairs.She looked at the coat rack and saw a thick red jacket with brown toggle buttons and a brown bear embroidered on the pocket.As both Sarah and Jenny had their jackets on she guessed that one was hers and she pulled it down and put it on.
Jenny's mom gave each of the girls a kiss on the forehead and pushed them out the door into the company of a woman probably 30 years old wearing a bright orange jacket that said Sunshine Bay Daycare.It was the daycare just down the street.Molly had passed it quite often when walking to Jennifer's house but had never stepped inside.
"Hi girls!All ready for a day of play and learning"
The woman said in an overly chirpy manner reserved for young children.Molly felt silly but secretly liked her tone, Sarah simply nodded as she held Molly's hand and Jennifer just scoffed.Molly noticed two other similarly dressed adults with the high visibility jackets on, and outside Jennifer's front garden gate stood a line of teenagers standing in pairs, with each pair holding hands.
"Well girls get to your places please.You should know the drill by now. "
Molly didn't understand what was going on, but Jennifer wandered off to stand beside a teenage girl dressed in a denim set of overalls.It took Molly a second to recognise the blonde cheerleader. She was in their chemistry class. Jennifer held the cheerleader's hand.A quick scan of the entire line of teenagers showed that Molly recognised the majority of them as being from her school.Her reality altering device had effected everyone.Every single teenager was at a younger stage of development because of her request.
She held her teddy bear tighter in one of her hands, the other one still held Sarah's hand as Sarah led Molly into the standing line of teenagers.Had Molly done something terrible, or something wonderful in changing reality?Was she being selfish?She would allow herself one more day of this sort of treatment and then put it back the way it was.No-one would remember once it had been all returned to normal.The day care assistant moved to the front of the queue as Sarah led Molly into their place in the line up.
"Okay, everyone in the crocodile.Off we go."
The assistant waved her hands forward and began to walk.The teenagers fell into step behind with two other daycare attendants in the back.Molly was fairly smart and she had realised now that the crocodile was what the line was referred to.She felt quite small being chaperoned.She couldn't remember the last time she had been accompanied anywhere by an adult.Her parents had treated her quite grown up from a fairly early age and she had grown to meet that expectation.So to suddenly feel like she was being treated like a kid was a real treat.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the Daycare and as they stepped through the large high gates the pairs split up and rushed towards the front doors, pouring into the buildingand playing in the front yard, yelling and laughing and causing general bedlam.
Jennifer came up to Molly and Sarah. She smiled at Molly.
"What should we do first?"
Molly didn't know what there even was to do.She had never stepped inside, but obviously because Sarah and Jennifer's memories had altered to fit their new reality they knew this place better.
"What do you want to do Sarah?"
Molly asked, taking the pressure off herself.
"I want to colour in!That's my favourite"
Sarah said excitedly.This seemed to appease Jennifer and she nodded happily.
"Lets go then before all the decent crayons are chewed!"
Jenny laughed as she then bolted for the main entrance leaving her two teenage friends in the dust.
"HEY!WAIT FOR US!"Molly yelled and ran after her with Sarah close behind.
Molly ran into the main day room and stopped dead in her tracks causing Sarah to pile down on top of her from behind.Causing both girls to land in a crumpled heap.
"Hey?Why did you stop?"
Sarah complained rubbing her back to ease the pain of the fall.
But Molly hadn't heard her,she was staring in wonderment at the room.She didn't have any younger siblings and only the vaguest of memories of herself at a toddler age so had no concept of what to expect but this was beyond anything she could have hoped for.
The room was large and airy with brightly coloured pictures and paintings on the wall, clearly done by kids at the daycare.There were toys everywhere and the large room was marked into obvious sections with one corner having large comfy looking beanbags and cushions beside a large bookcase full of children's stories.Another corner hosted some cribs and mats probably for nap time. There was an area for playing dress-up with a large wendy house and dress up box with dolls and fake food and such.There was also an indoor sand trough and water trough with a large waterwheel.Up against one wall was a changing table, there was also a large playpen and desks dotted the room with various arts and crafts going on.It was amazing and she just sat there on her butt staring at the room.
Jennifer was jumping up and down agitatedly at one of the furthest tables and Molly could see pens and crayons sprawled across the table top.She pushed herself back up and still holding tight onto her teddy with the reality altering device safely tucked away inside, she walked over to the table. Jennifer was already flicking through a colouring book.
"I'm gonna colour this"
She said holding the picture up to show a garden scene with a happy caterpillar on a fence and some equally happy flowers smiling at it.
"That's a good picture"
Molly agreed as she pulled some blank paper towards her.
"I'm gonna draw a picture for my Mommy"
She said happily as she reached out for a green crayon, feeling happy as she settled into her new role at daycare.It was interrupted by Jennifer.
"Mommy?Mommy? "She broke into laughter. "What are you a baby?I stopped calling my mom Mommy years ago"
Jennifer wasn't looking at Molly, she was actually concentrating on colouring in inside the lines of her picture, and she wasn't being too successful about it, but Jennifer's derisive comments brought Molly back to reality with a bump.
She wasn't actually a baby, she was still a teenager.Molly had just been feeling so relaxed and so happy to be doing toddler things that she had slipped into old childish terms.She felt her face flush red at being caught out and buried her face into her pink plush teddy bear.She suddenly lost interest in colouring in. Feeling a little deflated.She looked around the room for something else to do.The reading corner looked interesting, she'd like to read some of the kids books but suddenly remembered that she couldn't read any more.That made her smile return.She could at least go look at the pictures.She looked at her two friends concentrating.
"Hey i'm gonna go..."
Before Molly could finish her sentence one of the workers approached the table.
"Hi girls, have you all gone potty this morning?"She asked brightly.
"Potty?" Molly asked quizzically.
Sarah slipped down off of her chair.
"I need to go please."
Jennifer looked up and sighed putting her crayons down, slightly annoyed by the interruption.
"Yeah I gotta go as well."
Molly confounded by what was going on but not wanting to be left by herself nodded meekly in response.The worker pointed over to a red door.
"Come on then, lets get you guys all sorted out"
With that the four headed for the red door.The worker pushed it open and Molly saw that it was a bathroom with a few toilets and sinks and a couple of large red plastic potty chairs. There was also a pull down baby changing table but it was massive. Big enough for any of the teenagers to sit up and lay down on quite comfortably. Molly stared at it.The cogs in her brain turning.
Jennifer rushed over to one of the potty chairs, pulled down her pull-ups and sat down.Molly was shocked but Jennifer simply stuck her tongue out at Molly.
"You should have been quicker if you wanted this one"
She mocked as she concentrated on using the potty.
Sarah too had run over to the second one and after fumbling with her overalls for a moment had managed to pull them down and was sat on her potty.There were only two potties so Molly was left standing with the daycare worker. Whilst her friends finished their business.She suddenly realised she was wetting herself and looked down at her crotch.No wet patch appeared because of her pull-ups but she could feel they were now heavier and warm.She blushed as Jennifer pulled herself from the potty and pointed at the contents.
"I did it!I did it!"
She admitted proudly to the daycare worker who smiled and ruffled Jennifer's hair.
"Well done Jennifer.You'll be out of pull-ups in no time what so ever!"
The worker took the potty and flushed the contents down the nearby toilet, rinsed it out and put it back on the floor.
"Your turn Molly."
Molly looked miserable as she unbuckled her overalls, not wanting to reveal that she had wet herself but having no choice.She dropped her overalls to the ground.
"Oh dear.Looks like somebody had an accident.not to worry, after your potty break we'll get you all freshened up"
The worker smiled at Molly as Molly shuffled forward and sat on the potty.It was still fairly warmed from Jennifer having been sat there moments before.The worker turned to Jennifer and Sarah who had just gotten up and was buckling her own overalls back up..
"Now that you two are done you can carry on playing.Your little friend will be popping back in a moment once I have her clean and dry again"
Jennifer needed no more encouragement and headed out.Sarah gently moved from foot to foot for a few moments before finally making a decision and following Jennifer out leaving Molly alone with the daycare attendant watching her make her bowel movements.
The door opened and a different daycare worker came in carrying a crying 16 year old girl,she was placed on the pull down changing table and the worker proceeded to strip the girl of a very heavily soiled diaper.Molly's eyes were as big as saucers, she couldn't believe this was happening right in front of her.The girl on the mat was still crying but the worker gently shushed her, stroking the crying girls hair reassuringly as she cleaned the girls private area.Soon the worker was cooing and tickling her girl as she pulled a clean thick fresh disposable diaper over the girls crotch.The girl herself was much happier and was giggling through the fingers she sucked on now that the soiled diaper was gone.Once the diaper change was over the worker plucked the teenager back off the table and with a brief smile at Molly and her carer she left.
Molly wanted that.
That sort of love and attention.Her heart felt jealous of what she had just witnessed and she stared at the empty doorway where the carer and girl had been moments before.She got up off the potty knowing what she needed to do.
"Well done Molly for using the potty.Who's a big girl!"
Molly glared at the woman.She didn't want to be a big girl.Everyone was always trying to push her forward.Even Jennifer kept referring to herself as being older and bigger than she actually was.Molly just wanted to be free from peoples expectations.The worker moved past Molly to pick up the potty and as the woman did so, Molly dug around in the back of her teddy bear and pulled the digital voice recorder from the inside, without hesitation her thumb plunged down on the button.
"Teenagers my age are no where near potty training age"
The darkness swamped her and she felt that horrible roller coaster sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach.She closed her eyes and hugged her bear tight as the feeling passed and the air around her returned to normal.The daycare worker smiled at Molly and Molly shyly returned the smile.
"There, now you can go play with your friends now that you're in a nice clean and dry diaper."
The worker patted Molly's butt quite hard, producing a loud bass sort of sound.Molly barely felt the impact.She looked down at herself and realised she was still wearing her overalls but that they now had snaps in the crotch and her waist looked really bulky.She poked her middle experimentally and heard the distinctive rustle of a disposable diaper.She looked at the daycare assistant one more time then toddled for the door.The thickness of the diaper made walking much trickier than before.Molly knew instantly that she liked the sensation.
Back out in the main room she scanned the area for her two friends and saw them back at the colouring table scribbling away.She waddled up to them, hugging her teddy close and smiled.
Jennifer was leaning over the table trying to grab a crayon just out of her reach.Her dress was short enough that she managed to accidentally flash her own padded behind to the room, but it wasn't a concern of hers.She hadn't even realised she had done it.Molly smiled.It made Jennifer look really cute.
"Don't you guys want to do something different?"
She asked questioningly wanting to try pretty much everything in the room, since she had decided that tomorrow she would reverse everything she had done.
Sarah looked up.
"What do you want to do Molly?"
Molly looked around and noticed some 15 year old teenagers playing in an oversized playpenMolly pointed over at that area.
"Lets go play with those kids"
Jennifer looked over and quickly shook her head.Her voice full of pity and sarcasm.
"Molly.We're not stupid babies like that lot.We can play safe perfectly well. We're practically kindergarten kids now.We can't start mingling with the ones who are THAT infantile.They're just boring."
Molly felt sad.
"They're not stupid or boring.I think they're kinda cute"
She said in the younger teenagers defence.She felt a little angry that it seemed to be that no matter how young or innocent she tried to make her life, Jennifer would be there to knock her back into reality.She just wanted that cute and happy life where she was the centre of someone's attention.Where she could be loved unconditionally without prejudice or any kind of expectations.She hugged her teddy bear.She looked at it.She knew what she had to do.
She unzipped the zip and pulled out the device.Pressing the button immediately so that reality was paused.Molly looked around, at her two friends who were still drawing, and then over at the three kids who were in the playpen.
"Teenagers my age enjoy playing with baby toys.They don't mind being in playpens.It's for their own safety."
The blackness swamped her. She was getting used to the feeling and as she felt reality return she suddenly realised she was looking through bars. She was in a playpen.She stepped backwards and accidentally stumbled over a large soft chew block, wobbling for a second she suddenly plummeted to her butt, but thecombination of the soft matting of the playpen and her stupidly thick diaper meant that the fall didn't hurt, if anything it made her giggle.There were six or seven other teenagers in the pen, it was big enough that it wasn't a squash.Jennifer and Sarah were there too.
Jennifer was mashing at a simplistic Barney the dinosaur toy.Every time she pressed the button Barney would pop up causing Jennifer to giggle with glee.She would then press him back into the hole he had popped out from and press the button again, causing him to pop our again and her to giggle again.She clapped her hands in happiness and pushed Barney back in.
Sarah was stacking blocks, her tongue stuck out in intense concentration.Molly noticed that as Sarah was staring at her construction trying to work out what to place where next, she was also chewing on one of the blocks in her hand.Molly just wanted to pick Sarah up and hug her so tightly, she looked really vulnerable and cute and just like a little toddler girl.It was only looking down at herself that Molly realised she must have looked fairly similar.She had her teddy bear tucked under one arm and her other hand held a cute pink plastic rattle.She shook it manically causing both her friends to look up.
"Hey can I play with that?"
Sarah asked excitedly. Molly shook her head.It was her toy.She didn't want to share.
"Oh please" Sarah begged.
Molly continued to shake her head and shook her rattle at the same time.
"I'll share my blocks."Sarah said desperately.
The bartering gave Molly a few moments worth of hesitation and then she gave in.
"Okay.Lets swap"
The two girls switched places so that Molly was now the one building the block tower.Sarah now had possession of the rattle and she shook it and squealed in delight at the noise she was making.
Mollylooked over at Jennifer to ask if she wanted to help and noticed Jennifer was now chewing on a set of multi-coloured plastic keys and that she had adaydream sort of look to her face, like she was imagining herself some place entirely different.
"Jenny.You okay?"
Jennifer nodded as she chewed on her toy absently.She pulled the keys from her mouth.
"Yeah i'm okay, although i'm soggy now."
She said with a giggle, pulling up her dress to show that her disposable diaper was indeed now soaked between her thighs.A daycare worker was passing the playpen as Jennifer did this and saw what had happened.
"Uh oh!Does someone need her diapee changing?Come here then sweetie and i'll get you all snug and dry again"
Without question Jennifer waddled over to the edge of the playpen bars and the daycare worker hoisted Jennifer out and carried her to a baby changing table all the while cooing encouragement to the teenager that she would be all sorted out in just a short while.Molly watched her friend as she was laid on the table. She wasshocked that Jennifer had just wet herself quite happily in front of everyone.Jennifer was smiling asshe continued to chew on the plastic keys and the worker cleaned her up, lifted her legs up so that her bottom could be dusted with talc and then she was lowered onto a fresh fluffy disposable diaper and was taped securely in.The worker picked Jennifer back up off the table and gave the teenager a large hug before setting her down on her feet.
"You can run around for a bit while I see to your friends okay?"
The worker beamed at Jennifer and Jennifer nodded and ran up to the bars of the playpen.
"I get to play outside the pen.HA HA!"
She said and stuck her tongue out before running round and round in circles in front of Molly and Sarah.The daycare worker smiled and walking up to the large bars again she beckoned to Molly.Molly toddled over, hiding slightly behind her pink teddy bear.The worker lifted Molly from the playpen and laid her down on her back on the carpet.Un-popping a couple of the poppers in the crotch of her overalls the worker stuck her index finger between the leg elastic of Mollys diaper and retracted it quickly.She did the poppers back up, and lifted Molly back onto her feet.
"It's okay Molly you're still dry so you can go play."
Jennifer took this opportunity to grab Molly's hand and run around, Molly had no choice but to run with her older friend round the room as the worker lifted Sarah from the pen and checked the state of Sarah's diaper by pulling the back of Sarah's waistband to look in..
"Oh my!Someone made a big mess didn't she."
The worker said to Sarah.Sarah looked confused for a moment before the smell hit her, she nodded shyly.Molly had let go of Jennifer's hand.Had Sarah pooped herself?
The worker picked Sarah up and carried her over to the changing table to strip the teenager of her messy diaper.Soon Sarah too was lowered to the floor, with a gentle pat to her freshly diapered behind Sarah was ushered over to her friends. The daycare assistant smiled at all three teenagers.
"Now play nice for a little while longer okay,it's almost lunchtime and then you guys all get to go for a nice nap."
She ruffled Molly's hair and then walked off to see if any other kids needed tending to.
Molly turned her attention straight to Sarah, feeling a bit perverted for asking her friend the question that was in her mind but unable to rest until she knew the answer.
"Errr...Sarah?"
Sarahs blue eyes looked at Molly questioningly.
"yes?"
"Did you not even know you were...poopy?"
Before Sarah could answer Jennifer cut in.
"Yeah.I mean I know when I get wet or messy.You can tell cause it feels all squishy and bumpy"
Jennifer smiled in a egotistical way.Proud of herself for being more advanced than her friend.Molly had to grin knowing that less that 24 hours ago Jennifer would have baulked at the idea of wetting her pants and now she was bragging that she wet and pooped herself but recognised when she needed her diaper changed.It was quite a stark contrast.Sarah simply shook her head at the question.
"I guess cause i'm a little younger than you guys I...I haven't got that far yet I guess.."
She mumbled to the floor feeling a bit down that she wasn't quite as great as her friends.Molly patted Sarah's arm.
"It's okay.I mean we're all friends and stuff and well...don't worry about it.I hardly know when i've gone number twos either."
This was actually a lie, Molly hadn't even wet herself since the new reality altering had happened and she was back full time in diapers, but her lie had it's intended effect and Sarah's face brightened.
"Great so what you're saying is I have two smelly babies as my friends"Jennifer giggled, not in a mean way, just in a teasing way.
Molly grinned
"Yeah well we may be smelly babies but there's two of us and when we catch you we're gonna tickle you to death."
She said as she began to run towards Jennifer.Jennifer screamed in mock terror and turned to run.She didn't look where she was running and ploughed straight into a younger teenage boy who was strapped into an oversized baby walker.The tray of the baby walker was just at the right height for Jennifer's stomach and it knocked the wind out of her for a moment. She crumpled to the floor, gasping for breath.Molly had seen what had been about to happen, but it had all happened so quickly that she had been unable to prevent it.
"Jenny!Are you okay?"
The boy in the walker had started to cry from the shock of being jolted like that.Jenny too had tears in her eyes but she blinked them back angrily and clambered to her feet.
"Why are you crying booger breath!Dumb baby getting in my way.Go drool some place else."
Jennifer scowled and kicked one of the wheels of the teenage sized baby walker.Causing the boy to wail louder.
"What's going on?"
A stern voice from behind caused all three girls and the boy to turn to look at a daycare worker who had quite a concerned expression on their face.
"This stupid baby almost killed me!"
Jennifer complained, huffing with her arms crossed over her boobs in a stereotypical sulk.
"Jennifer, you need to be careful around those who are learning to walk.You can't be reckless around them."
"I wasn't being..."
"No back chat young lady or you'll be in time out."
Jennifer went red with anger.
"HEY!I didn't do anything wrong! It was him"
She pointed wildly at the walker boy.Her angry tone of voice was enough for the daycare worker though as Jennifer was grabbed by the wrist and led over to a corner.
"Ooh Jennifer is going on the naughty chair"Sarah said with hushed horror.
Jennifer kicked and screamed and protested her innocence, but her temper tantrum only sealed her punishment.Molly and Sarah watched from their original spots beside the walker teenager as Jennifer was made to sit on a small wooden stool facing into the corner.Molly could hear the Daycare worker scolding Jenny and she felt bad for her friend.Still Jennifer didn't have to be so mean.She looked at the boy in the walker.
"Are you okay?"
The boy nodded meekly and tottered unstably away from the two remaining girls.
Molly watched him leave.Maybe if Jennifer was at his level then she wouldn't be that mean.She pulled the device from her bear without another thought and pushed the button.
"Teenagers my age are only just learning to walk"
She did like the idea of getting a shot in that baby walker.She closed her eyes and waited for the blackness to swamp her.She let the air settle back to normality before she opened her eyes and found herself sat with Sarah and Jennifer back in the playpen.They had only just gotten out of here.She pushed herself to her feet and then her knees buckled under her and she flopped back down onto her bottom.
It was such a strange sensation to not have the strength in her legs to hold her body up.She giggled and tried again.She managed to stand but the minute she tried to take a step she just collapsed in a giggling heap.Giving up Molly crawled over to where Sarah and Jennifer were playing and she sat there sucking on the ear of her teddy bear, the device still held safe within.A happy content smile on her lips as she watched her friends play.Today was shaping up to be one of the best days of her life
...
The three teenage girls sat and played in the playpen happily together.Playing a simple game of catch with a large red ball.Mostly the girls would miss catching the ball and they would go off crawling after it to bring it back.They amused themselves for a while with the game when a carer came and leaned over the playpen bars.
"Hey girls.Do you want to play in your baby walkers for a while before lunch is ready"
The ball was instantly forgotten as all three girls chimed "YES PLEASE!" eagerly.They crawled to the edge of the playpen and jostled with one another so that they would be picked up first.Molly was gathered up first, she kept her teddy bear close and was carried over to a large baby walker.She was eased into the seat. Her feet didn't quite reach the floor properly so she found herself balanced on her tiptoes and as a result her crotch was taking the majority of her weight pulling her thick diaper up making it even more obvious than it already was.
She pushed herself along on her tiptoes.It was actually quite hard work.Molly tottered around the play area, really enjoying the haphazard way she wobbled around.Suddenly she was hit from behind and she swivelled round to see Sarah grinning sheepishly.
"Sorry Molly, didn't mean to hit you.I was trying to go over there." she said as she pointed in completely the opposite direction.
Molly giggled."Don't worry about it Sarah.It's pretty tricky."
"I can do it.LOOK!"Jennifer yelled happily even though she was close enough to the pair that talking would have been adequate.
Jennifer spun herself in a full 360 degree circle and giggled as her hair band fell from her head onto the baby walker tray in front of her.She picked it up and randomly began to chew on it. Molly could still tell Jenny was smiling.Molly felt happy.Clearly her friend was enjoying herself.It was rare to see Jennifer so smiley.The three of them toddled around in their walkers.Jennifer accidentally walked into a bigger girl who was trying to play a game of snap with her friends on the floor.
"Hey watch it baby, stay away from us bigger kids"The girl snapped as she gathered up the large playing cards that Jennifer had accidentally run over with her walker.
"Oh...sorry."Jennifer mumbled and wobbled her way back to where Sarah and Molly were, blushing slightly at her mistake.
Molly had been about to ask what had happened when suddenly she was hoisted from her baby walker from behind without any warning.She yelped in surprise but was then manoeuvred around so that she could see thata daycare worker had picked her up. She only just managed to grab her teddy bear in time. She flung her arms around the worker's neck and held on as she was supported by her thickly padded behind.The worker gently rocked her up and down whilst smiling at Jennifer and Sarah.
"It's time for you three to have lunch."She said as two other workers came and retrieved Sarah and Jennifer.
"I wanna keep playing in my walker.I'm not hungry"Jennifer pouted and kicked out at the worker who had picked her up, but her kicks were so feeble the worker just ignored them as all three girls were carried into the kitchen area and placed into oversized high chairs.
"I don't want food.I wanna play.I WANNA PLAY!"Jennifer kicked and cried and pummelled the high chair feeding tray in a full fit of tantrum but being strapped into the high chair she couldn't do much else and the worker assigned to feeding her just let her cry out her frustration as a cute baby bib was tied around Jennifer's neck.
Molly and Sarah were getting similar treatment and Molly sat there quite happily swinging her legs back and forth waiting for food, playing with her teddy bear. She wondered what was even on the menu.Sandwiches probably, or perhaps soup?Her carer walked over to her high chair and Molly had to admit she was a little disappointed to see a bowl of mush coming her way.Baby food.She should have expected that really.It didn't look all that appetising either.
The worker pulled the teddy bear from her grasp and sat it down on a nearby table.Molly felt panic well up inside her and she instantly began to whimper.
"Don't worry Molly you can have your bear back once you eat up all your num nums okay?"The worker cooed at the teenage baby.
Molly stared over at her bear not taking her eyes off of it, so she was completely unprepared for the first mouthful of baby food that was put to her lips.She turned her head sharply shocked at the closeness of the spoon, which only resulted in the entire contents of the spoon being plastered over her face.The look of shock on Molly's face must have been priceless because the worker chuckled quite loudly.
"Oh, you messy thing.Pay attention okay."The worker made no attempt to clean Molly up, instead she dug out another spoonful from the bowl and held the spoon up high.
"Here comes the aeroplane...neeeeeeeeyoooow!"She swooped the spoon down towards Molly and Molly, prepared this time, opened her mouth and the spoonful went it.She closed her mouth and swallowed, then gagged.It was disgusting.Whatever it was she didn't want any more.She stole a quick glance at Sarah and Jennifer.Jennifer had quietened down by this point and was quite happily being fed, same as Sarah.Another spoonful swooped down towards Molly and she clamped her mouth shut, shaking her head.Her carer looked deflated.
"Awww does baby not like her num nums.Be a good girl Molly,you need to eat to be a big girl."
Molly shook her head more fiercely.The worker pushed the spoon into Mollys mouth but her teeth were clamped shut.The worker gently tickled molly's feet and Molly let out a small giggle.Enough to let the carer push the spoon further in.
"There's a good girl."
Molly spluttered the majority of the food back out.It dripped down her face and onto her overallsShe really didn't like it, she wished she could get hold of her bear with the reality altering device to make this bit over and done with but it was well out of her reach.
"If I eat Molly's food will I grow up twice as quick?"Jennifer asked hopefully.
The worker shook her head."No Jennifer, this is Molly's food, it will only work on Molly, but if she just wants to be little forever then I can't make her eat, she won't be able to go to big girl school"
Sarah gasped in horror."Molly, Molly you gotta eat"
Molly grinned.The carer was trying infantile persuasion on her, whilst that might work on Sarah or Jennifer, Molly was well aware of what was going on and she wasn't about to fall for it.She shook her head defiantly.
The worker thought for a moment."Molly, just eat three more spoonfuls and you can leave the rest.Okay?"
Molly looked at the bowl.Just three more spoonfuls and she would be done?That sounded like a compromise she could probably manage.Hesitantly she opened her mouth a little bit and smiling at her success the worker ploughed a spoonful into Molly's mouth.Molly quickly swallowed trying not to taste the baby food.The carer spooned in another mouthful almost immediately and Molly struggled at the sudden barrage of food.She swallowed it down.The third spoonful was at her lips just as quick and Molly turned her face away needing a moment just to catch her breath but the worker swerved the spoon round to keep it at exactly the same place pressed up against Molly's lips dripping some of the goop down her chin.Giving an inward sigh Molly opened up her mouth and the final spoonful went in.She gulped it down and breathed a sigh of relief that was promptly cut off by a fourth spoonful.It had been so unexpected that Molly swallowed it.
She glared at the carer for betraying her trust, but the carer smiled kindly at her.
"Look Molly, almost done.Who's a clever girl."The daycare assistant showed Molly the bowl that was almost empty.
"Two more spoonfuls and it'll all be gone, you might as well finish it"The carer said and Molly resigned herself to the fact that she had been tricked after all.She looked at Sarah who was sitting swinging her legs with her mouth open wide, her face covered in baby food.Jennifer too was in a similar state but had been given a spoon so was attempting to feed herself, rather unsuccessfully as it seemed to be everywhere accept her mouth.
With impatience Molly opened her mouth and let the carer feed her the last two spoonfuls.The carer then took the empty bowl away and came back with a bottle of baby formula which she placed on the feeding tray.
"Good girl Molly.I'm proud of you"The worker said as Molly grabbed up the baby bottle and started guzzling more to take away the taste of the baby food than anything else.She discovered to her relief that baby formula didn't taste half as bad as baby food and was thankful for the drink to wash the meal down with.She drank it down in record timing and about two gulps from finishing it she suddenly got a large pain in her chest.She half yelped half hiccuped at the pain and her carer simply shook her head.
"Oh Molly you little guzzle guts."The carer stood and grabbed a cloth which she draped over her shoulder, then unsnapping the feeding tray from the high chair she lifted Molly clear and placed the teenager over her shoulder.Supporting her by her butt with one arm the carers free hand gently patted and rubbed Molly's back whilst the carer bounced her up ad down slightly.
"There, there, it'll be all okay,you just have a little bit of wind."Molly didn't care what it was just just wanted the uncomfortable feeling to stop.
The patting and bouncing continued until suddenly Molly burped and spat up some of the formula down the carer's back, which had been cleverly covered by the cloth draped there.Molly looked at the mess.She had just spat up!Like a real baby?She did feel better, the uncomfortable feeling was gone, but she felt a bit humiliated by what she had just done.
The worker cooed praise at Molly."Well done sweetie.I bet that feels better doesn't it!"The carer eased Molly back into her high chair and fixed the feeding tray back in place giving Molly the almost finished bottle of formula.
Molly decided she didn't want any more.Her two friends were finishing their bottles too and whilst Jennifer didn't get burped, Sarah did. Molly watched this realising her eyes were getting heavy.She felt really tired all of a sudden and she yawned.The yawn was interrupted by a cold baby wipe being wiped across her face.She randomly felt like she was about to cry because of the cold wake up but the smiling face of her carer stopped her from actually sobbing.
"There.I knew there was a pretty little girl underneath all that grub." Molly's worker gently took one of Molly's hands and cleaned it of excess baby food, and then did the same with the other.
Molly was about to ask to get out of the high chair when she suddenly flinched as Jennifer's loud complaining broke through the remainder of her sleepiness.
"I'm NOT a messy baby.I'm NOT!I almost fed myself all by myself this time.And..and...I can walk loads almost without the walker now.I'm getting bigger all the time and I can talk good, so I am BIG. I AM!" Jennifer was pouting again.
Jennifer's carer simply laughed as she kept trying to clean up the squirming teenager.
"I know you're a big girl Jennifer.I was just saying you were a little messy that's all"The carer tried to placate the whining girl as she wiped Jennifer's face and hands.
"I'M BIG. I'M THE BIGGEST OUT OF ALLL MY FRIENDS."Jennifer began to cry.
The worker lifted the teenager out of the high chair."My my.I think someone is a little cranky.It is nap time for you three anyway.Can't have your parents coming to collect cranky little girls can we?"
The bigger girl who Jennifer had run into earlier came into the kitchen at that point holding a sippy cup of juice.She saw Jennifer having atemper tantrum and giggled walking up to the teenage baby being held by her carer.
"Is baby all poopy?"She asked the carer with a mocking grin.
The Carer didn't realise that the girl was being mean and simply shook her head. "No, she just needs a nap, poor thing is tired."
The girl's grin widened."I don't need naps any more.I'm going to kindergarten next week.I'm almost a big girl."
The carer again nodded."That's right Beth, but Jenny here still has a long way to go before she gets to go to big girl school"
Jennifer wailed some more at being reminded how small she actually was and she buried her head in her carer's shoulder to cry whilst her carer patted her reassuringly.
Molly's carer gently pulled Molly from her high chair, and grabbing the teddy bear she handed it to the teenage baby.Molly hugged the bear, thankful for having her reality altering abilities back.
Her carer then carried the teenager out of the kitchen following Jennifer's carer who was carrying Jennifer over to the teenage sized cots.Jennifer was placed into one and tucked in snugly still sobbing but not nearly as much as sleep began to take over.Sarah was already asleep drooling on her carer's shoulder as she was gently lowered into her crib and tucked in.
Molly was sleepy as she was tucked in.Her teddy bear was tucked in tightly beside her and she looked at the smiling bear face as the carers retreated away from the dozing teenagers.Her eyes grew heavy but she had a thought that she wanted to put into place before finally falling asleep.Something that Jennifer had said.She pulled the reality altering device from the hidden pocket in the bear and quietly pressed the button.She had thought about the wording of this one carefully.
She guessed it must be about 3pm give or take an hour so 18 hours should be enough.
"For the next 18 hours girls my age won't have learnt how to talk yet"
Molly felt smug with herself. Originally she had thought to simply say "teenagers her age wouldn't know how to talk"but then she had realised that come tomorrow when she would want to set everything back to normal she wouldn't be able to.This way by 9am the effects of her new reality altering would wear off and she would then be free to set everything straight.
The thickening of the air was already almost receding as Molly stared up at the cot bars that surrounded her.She opened her mouth, butterflies in her stomach, not from the effect of the reality altering, but more from the nervousness of what she was about to hear.
She needed a simple word.CAT.That would do.She pulled herself under the cot blanket so that she wouldn't wake up her two friends as she tried to say cat.
"Buh" She giggled. "baaa burrr suh"She burbled to herself knowing she was trying to say cat but it came out different every time.She found she was drooling down her chin in her attempts to talk, and her eyelids began to get really heavy.She yawned and stuck her thumb in her mouth as she cuddled into her teddy bear.
Now Jennifer wouldn't be able to complain at all about anything.Well she could complain but no-one would be able to understand her.Molly would finally be able to enjoy the remainder of her little baby trip in peace whilst still playing with her friends.With that thought firmly in her mind and a gentle smile on her lips Molly fell asleep.
She woke to the sound of babyish wailing.Loud.Very loud, babyish wailing.Clumsily she sat up in her cot and rubbed at her eyes.She looked at the clock to see what time it was but couldn't understand the numbers or what exactly they meant.She looked over to see Jennifer really crying her heart out.
"What's the matter?"Molly asked only it came out as concerned baby gibberish.
Alerted by Jennifer's crying one of the workers rushed over.
"Awww little one, wassa matta?Come here"
Jennifer was hauled out of the crib and rocked soothingly by the carer.
"There there, it'll be all right.Don't cry.Shhhh Shhhhh"The carer cooed at Jennifer, but Jennifer continued to cry.
The worker patted Jennifer's bottom
"Ahhh.I know what the problem is.Someone has a stinky bum don't they.Yes they do.Yes they do!Let's get baby all cleaned up so she can be happy again okay?"The worker continued to baby talk at Jennifer as she was laid down on a nearby changing table and began to have her wet and messy diaper changed.
Jennifer continued to cry throughout the process, that was until the daycare assistant gently pushed a pacifier into Jennifer's mouth.This stopped Jennifer sobbing and the teenager quietened down, sucking on her pacifier playing with her fingers as the worker lovingly changed her stinky butt.With a dusting of baby powder and a fresh diaper secured Jennifer was lowered to the floor where she crawled for a few seconds then sat on her padded bottom and grabbed at her feet.
Sarah had woken up and was also sniffling sadly in her crib.The worker plucked her out and stripped her of her wet diaper.Changing her efficiently but kindly then lowered to the floor to be with Jennifer.Molly watched her two friends playing with one another in a truly blissful and happy manner.They babbled to one another excitedly and waved their arms around, giggling. Molly had been so enthralled in watching her friends that it was only when she was being lifted out of the cot that she noticed the carer paying her attention.
"And how is little Molly after her little nap.Is someone a soggy little girl?"Molly shook her head.She didn't think she was wet.
"Shall we find out?Shall we?Yes we shall!Yes we shall"The carer tickled Molly's tummy and Molly squealed and gurgled in response.Loving the tenderness and closeness.She was lowered onto the changing mat and Molly kicked her legs up in the air.The poppers on her overalls were undone and as the diaper tapes were pulled open the smell became obvious.Molly had not only thoroughly soaked herself but she was messy too.Molly couldn't believe she hadn't even realised she was in that kind of state.
"What a stinker.Are you a stinker?Are you?Yes you are"The daycare worker talked to her in that happy go lucky way that adults reserved for babies.Molly enjoyed this and found herself gurgling happily in response.The carer grinned and tickled Molly's tummy as she lay there on the table exposed.The tickling made Molly wet herself a little bit more and quickly the assistant pulled the diaper up to stop herself getting covered in baby wee.Molly felt really embarrassed but she had wanted the real deal and this was probably as real as it could possibly get.She was stuck being unable to talk at the moment so she would just have to ride out whatever would happen in the next 18 hours.Still she did feel pretty mortified that she had just almost peed all over the poor worker.
The worker cleaned Molly up and fixed a new diaper on.
"There we go cutie.Now you can play with your friends until your Mommy comes to collect you."
Molly suddenly felt dread well up in her.Molly's mother was quite cold and distant. She loved her mom but they would never really be that close.Molly always felt like she disappointed her mother, like she was never good enough for her mother's approval. Mom had always been quite stern and Molly guessed that Mom's love had gone the day Molly's dad had walked out of the family.All Molly had ever wanted was a hug and some praise from her mother and it had never come.Molly suddenly wished she could put things back normally now.She hadn't thought this through properly.She didn't want her mom seeing her like this.
Molly had been lowered to the floor by this point and she crawled over to one of the colouring tables and crawled under.She would hide, then her mom wouldn't be able to find her.Sarah crawled in after her, closely followed by Jennifer.The two girls giggled and clambered on top of Molly.Molly wanted to talk to her two friends about how she was feeling but she couldn't.More importantly her two friends were making so much noise that they were going to give away her hiding place.She untangled herself from them and crawled out from under the table to head to the next nearest table when she was suddenly hauled off of her feet and into her carers arms.
"There you are.Your mommy is here sweetie.It's time for you to go home."
"Burrrrbaaaaa fftt"She blew a raspberry at her carer causing spittle and drool to run down her face.Her carer just laughed.
"Say buh bye to your friends. You'll see them tomorrow"Jennifer and Sarah were looking up from their sat positions on the floor, waving sadly at Molly.Molly felt sad that she was leaving her friends so soon.It must be later than she had imagined. She waved as the worker carried her to the hallway where her mommy waited.
"Awww there's my little cupcake.I missed you soooo much"Her mom, a blue eyed, long haired brunette, gathered up Molly from the carer's arms and hugged her daughter tightly.
"Mommy hopes you've been a good little girl.."Molly's mom smiled at Molly and then looked over Molly's head to talk to the worker.
"Has she been good?"She enquired.
The worker nodded."Yep, as good as gold, like always.You're daughter is a real pleasure to look after.She very rarely fusses, although she didn't like her din-dins this afternoon did you Molly"the worker chuckled as she ruffled the teenager's hair."But she ate it eventually, so nothing else to report really"
"Did you eat up all your din-dins like a good girl. Well done.You're such a sweetie"Her mommy gushed at her.Molly felt strange.Embarrassed but elated that her mom was paying her so much positive attention.She had never seen her mom like this.Ever.She felt hot tears prickling her face and she buried her face in the comforting darkness of her mommy's shoulder.
"Awww sweetie what's the matter?"Molly's mom stroked Molly's hair and made shushing noises in her ear.Molly had dreamt of a moment like this. Even in her dreams it had been an impossibility and here she was getting the attention she had always craved.Her tears of happiness fell freely.
"She's just woken from a nap and I changed her a few moments before you arrived."The worker seemed perplexed as to why the teenager was crying.
Molly's mom simply shrugged.
"Babies can get like this though can't they, where they fuss for no reason.I guess she just wants mommy hugs don't you baby!"She cooed happily as Molly.
Molly smiled.Her mom didn't know quite how right she was and in response Molly threw her arms around her mommy's neck and hugged tightly, causing her mom to chuckle, her eyebrows raised in surprise at the daycare assistant.
"I guess I was right, huh.Anyway, I best be off.Thanks once again."Supporting Molly by one arm the mother waved with her free hand and then left the building.
She walked to her car and opening the back passenger door she seated Molly in a teenage sized car seat.She buckled molly into the five point harness.A loud click signified that Molly was securely fastened in.Molly watched as her mom got into the drivers seat and pushed a nursery rhyme CD into the CD player and pressed play.
"You like this CD don't you sweetie. It's your favourite.You always giggle when its on."Molly's mom talked to Molly, but obviously wasn't expecting the teenager to answer her back.She talked more for the company.Being a single parent was difficult, and she looked forward to the day when Molly would be able to talk back.She drove home.
Molly was content in the back, a smiling and happy little girl.She kept giving her mommy the most adorable of smiles.Full of such love and happiness as she played with her pink teddy bear.Soon they arrived home and the car drove up the drive way and parked.
Molly's mommy gathered the teenage baby from the back seat and carried her diapered daughter into the house.
"Mommy has to get the groceries in okay sweetie.So you can just play in your baby bouncer whilst mommy works"She said as she strapped Molly into one of those baby doorway bouncers. It was the doorway between the lounge and the kitchen.Molly didn't even know these things existed and she kicked out her feet squealing excitedly as the springs above her sprung up and down bouncing her in the doorway.It was really fun and she jumped up and down, still holding onto her teddy bear and giggling repeatedly as her mom made several trips in and out of the house to bring the shopping in.
Once the shopping was packed away Molly's mom started chopping some vegetables whilst keeping an eye on her giggling daughter.
"My my someone is in a very good mood today. So smiley and happy."Molly's mom said with a large content smile on her face as she watched her daughter play.
Soon Molly's mom had made herself a nice stew and she placed it in the oven turning it down low.
"Right sweetie.It's time for sleepy bye byes for little babies."Molly looked up at her mommy.She didn't want to go to bed yet.
"No I don't wanna sleep I wanna play"She whined but she just gurgled at her mommy, who simply chuckled as she lifted Molly from the bouncer and carried her through to her bedroom.Molly kicked her legs out feebly in mid air, holding onto her teddy bearas her mommy carried her.
They entered Molly's room and she just stared at it in shock.She should have seen it coming really what with all the other pieces of equipment being her size.Her room, which had once been adorned with school books and her desk and her T.V and laptop was now a full sized baby plete with cot, changing table, rocking chair and shelves stacked with age appropriate toys for a young baby. The room was pale shades of pink and yellow.It was far to girly girl for Molly's liking. Molly wanted her old room back.The shock at seeing her room like this made her break out into a quiet sob.She had to remind herself that she could put it all back to the way it was tomorrow.She would fix this.She had enjoyed being a baby but she had had enough.
Her mom took Molly's bear from her and placed it in the cot then carried Molly over to the large rocking chair noticing Molly's pained expression.
"Awww is baby hungry.Mommy can fix that all up for you.Yes she can.It's time for your feed anyway, then you can go to bed and mommy can have her dinner can't she.Yes she can."
Molly wondered where her bottle was as she was settled into her mom's lap.Her mom was undoing her blouse and with horror Molly recognised a nursing bra underneath.Her mom was seriously NOT going to breastfeed her was she?She wouldn't.Molly wouldn't dare breastfeed from her mom.That would just be too weird.Her mom was humming a gentle lullaby, using her feet to gently rock the rocking chair she released one of her ample breasts from the bra and edged Molly closer to it.
Molly wanted to shake her head, she wanted to refuse but as a single drop of milk dripped from the nipple Molly found to her horror that she was latching on and sucking down the sweet liquid.She wanted to gag but as a young infant she wanted to milk more and so she found herself nursing as her mommy stroked the back or her hair tenderly.The pair of them rocked there for what seemed like an eternity.With her tummy soon filled Molly pulled herself away from her mothers teat and lay on her head on her boob dozing.Feeling strange for what she had just done, having to remind herself over and over that in the morning this would all be put right and no-one would ever remember this had ever happened.Hell she might even make this bit erase itself from her own memory, she'd never be able to look her mom in the eye again after this little incident so maybe it was for the best if she forgot about it too.
Her mom stood, patting Molly's back gently as she walked back and forth across the nursery floor, being rewarded with a resounding burp from the teenager.
"Who's my good little girl.Growing all big and strong for mommy."
Molly found herself being lowered onto the changing table and her mom checked her diaper which surprisingly was still dry.Molly was then stripped of all her clothing and dressed in her pink footed sleeper which now also sported poppers in the crotch.
"All fluffy and snuggly for beddy bye byes."her mommy cooed content that her baby was ready for bed.She put Molly in the cot.Molly was happy that her bear was in close range as her mom switched on a cute little mobile with zoo animals attached.It played a tinkling lullaby version of 'in the jungle'Molly looked up at it, mesmerised for a moment as her mom leaned over the cot bars and gave Molly a kiss on the forehead.
"Sleep tight sweetie."She said as she switched on a baby monitor close by.Then with a final look backwards to make sure her baby wasn't about to start fussing, she left the nursery.
Molly pushed herself up into a sitting position.Looking around the room.She really didn't like this any more.Perhaps the device would work on thoughts as well as words.She didn't have an instruction manual so it was a possibility.She dug the reality altering device out from her teddy bear and looked at it.She pushed the button hoping on hope and thought "Everything is back the way it was"
She opened her eyes already knowing it hadn't worked because the air hadn't thickened like usual.Sure enough the nursery greeted her open eyes.She looked at the device.Maybe talking out loud would work with her thoughts.She thought the same question and tried to say it but baby babbled into the device.Again nothing happened.She pouted at it.Glared at it.She guessed she would just go to sleep and sort it all out in the morning.
"Is someone being a chatty little baby?"Molly's eyes shot towards the door, her mommy was walking right up to the cot, obviously the baby monitor was on and her mommy must have heard her talking.She squeaked in surprise as her mommy leant over the bars.
"What is that you have there sweetie?"her mommy asked confused as she tried to take the device from Molly's hands.
Molly held tight to it, as Molly's mom tried to remove it.Molly's mom accidentally pushed the button.Because there was only two of them in the room neither one would have noticed reality pausing.
"Sweetie, you're just a little baby, you can't have things like this."Molly's mom said sweetly.Molly still holding onto the device felt a sickening drop in her stomach.What had her mother done, what was about to happen?
The air thickened and Molly suddenly felt something strange happening to her.She didn't recognise anything, she couldn't understand what was happening, she looked up at her mommy, the woman who provided everything for her and she grinned happy that her mommy was here.
Was it feeding time.She burbled excitedly up at her mommy, forgetting that she had ever been about to attend college, forgetting about the device and about everything she had ever learnt.All of a sudden, this room was her life.Her eye's glazed over and her grip loosened.Her mommy took the device.
"Wonder where she even got this?"Her mommy held it up to the light, then shrugged and dumped it in the bin.
Molly cooed and dribbled down her chin wavering her arms up in the air wanting to be picked up.Molly's mom chuckled.
"Awww you little rascal, I should have known it was too easy putting you to bed today."Molly's mom lifted the baby teenager from her cot and gave her a hug rocking the teenager back and forth.
"I love you sweetie"
Molly didn't understand the words her mommy said but enjoyed the tone as she laid her head on her mommy's shoulder allowing herself to be rocked into blissful sleep.
