Midlife Crisis

Chapter 9
Rivals of Romance

Chapter Description: Allison reveals her plans to Susan and Susan begins to realize that she be may be running out of time to stop it.

It couldn’t really be Allison could it? I mean this girl did look very similar to the way Allison looked, but shouldn’t Allison be an old hag by now?

“But how could you be Allison?” I asked her confused. She laughed a bit at my question.

“Come on Susie. I know you lost a lot of your adult memories, but this one should be obvious. I went into genetic research after college and I began working on a way to the reverse the aging process. I took the pills myself and became the beautiful woman that you see before you,” she replied.

“But...that means if you took the pills that you regress each time you get upset too right?”

“Please, how foolish do you think I am? The version of the pill that you received came with that defect; originally one of the test batches. The version I took doesn’t have that problem.”

“So you purposefully gave me the drug with that kind of side effect?!” I shouted realizing that my body was starting to tingle again, but I didn’t care, I was mad. She wanted me out of the way so that she could have Richard! “What did I ever do to you? Why would you do such a thing?”

“Why else? I love Richard. He’s everything I want in a man and I’m everything that he wants in a woman. Besides, didn’t you want a new start, free from the responsibilities of being an adult anyway? Well now you have the chance, of course that chance will have you starting all the way at the beginning!” she laughed a little bit, and I shuddered as I watched Allison and the room grow before my eyes. I needed to calm down, but try as I would I couldn’t. My shirt continued to slowly move down my shoulders and I struggled to keep my growing pants from falling off my increasingly thinner waist. “Looks like you haven’t quite gotten control yet little Susie. Is it baby time for you already?”

“Shut up!” I replied trying to hold back my anger, trying to relax. I looked at the glass by the office door and saw a girl of about eight looking back, though maybe that was being generous. I had to calm down!

“I wonder what will happen when you are a baby,” she continued to chuckle to herself. “If you get upset as a baby, does that mean you will never grow up again?” Calm down. Ignore her. Although there was nothing I could do to keep the horror of remaining a helpless baby, her baby, for the rest of my life couldn’t escape my mind. It sent a horrible chill down my spine. Finally the tingling stopped but now my situation was a lot worse. A little girl who didn’t look any older than six was now staring back at me, wearing clothes that were way too big for her. The sight shocked me so much that I just let my enormous pants fall to the floor. “Aw, looks like the little baby finally got control of herself. Well it’s only a matter of time before you loose control."

"Loose Control?" I asked nervously.

"That’s the point where you start to upset and scare yourself into regressing and well at that point, you my dear are pretty much screwed." she laughed a little bit and I started to shake in fear. "Now let’s get going little Susie."

“What...what are you going to do with me?” I asked nervously.

“Well, I’m going to take you back to Richard’s house. After all, he’ll be looking for you little one.” She then attempted to pick me up and did so very easily.

“Why would you do that? You know I’m just going to tell Richard what a big meanie you are!” Big meanie? Oh god, my vocabulary has reverted back to a kindergarteners!

“Really? You are going to tell on me? Tell me Susie, do you know what ten plus ten equals?” Allison asked. Math problems? What is that about?

“Of course I know! The answer is 100!” I said very proudly.

“Yeah, I think I don’t have anything to worry about.” Allison that hauled me and my oversized clothes out to her car and strapped me in the back seat. I struggled as much as I could but my little six-year-old body wasn’t any match for her. Richard would have to believe me about Allison though, wouldn’t he? Then I remembered the incident with Megan a few weeks ago, and how he didn’t believe me then. And now he was supposed to believe me that his secret lover was planning to regress me from the beginning? Just so that she could be with him? Maybe he was even in on it with her! No...no... Richard would never do that. I needed a way to convince Richard that she did this to me! But how? We arrived back at the home a few minutes later.

Allison pulled me out of the car and sat me down. “Now listen closely Susie, it would be very bad for you if Richard finds out you were a naughty girl and were spying on him. So you are going to say whatever story I say in there is true. Do you understand?”

I smiled a very fake smile back and happily replied. “Of course Allison.”

“Good girl,” she replied and rang the doorbell. Megan was the one who opened the door.

“You? What are you doing here?” Megan asked. Wait, have Megan and her met before? Or maybe Richard told everyone in the house that he’s seeing another woman.

“Is your dad home yet?” she asked, completely ignoring Megan’s question and asked like she didn’t know her. Whether or not it was an act, I couldn’t really tell.

“Um, yeah let me go get him!” she quickly ran off and got Richard. He was surprised to see Allison at the door, but even more surprised to see me.

“Allison? What are you doing here? And what happened to you Susie?”

“Oh I found this poor dear out at the playground. I was driving past when I saw that the other kids were making fun of her. I stopped to help her and decided to drive her back home.” What a load of a bull----.

“Thank you so much Allison,” he said, then quickly realizing that he was slightly too familiar with her then said to me “Uh, she works at the office with me. Anyway, you aren’t hurt are you Susie?”

“A little,” I replied weakly. More emotionally hurt then physically hurt.

“Well, I just came by to drop her off. I have some other things I need to take care of.” Allison said.

“Oh okay. You’re still coming to Samantha’s birthday party?” he asked.

“Yeah I’ll definitely be there.”

“Alright well, see you later.”

“Goodbye Richard. Goodbye little Susie,” she winked at me and got back into her car and drove off. I didn’t talk to Richard about any of the things I saw. I didn’t eat any dinner; rather I just decided to go directly to bed, with my head swirling with thoughts.

Thursday at my daughters birthday party. That would be the day that Allison would try to take my husband away from me forever. I needed to do something, or else it would be too late and I would lose him forever. And at the same time I was only one bad regression away from being back in diapers. What could I do? How do I stop the perfect the woman when I’m just a six-year-old girl?
