My Adventure in Babysitting

Chapter 1
The Job

Chapter Description: Avery agrees to babysit

　　Avery was a high school senior trying to make enough money to pay for her first semester of college. To accomplish this goal, she decided to become a baby sitter. For her first job she was stuck taking care of the nine year old daughter of one of the research scientists at the R&D firm where her mother worked. Avery was very nervous as she pondered what she would do with this girl for the 4 hours her father would be out on the town for date night with his wife. She arrived at the strange house, where Alan, and his wife Marcia greeted her warmly, that was when she met Amanda, who seemed to be perfectly nice on the outside, but had a certain darkness about her.

　　Marcia appeared to be scared of Amanda, and completely relieved to get away from her. Alan went over several rules pointing out that Amanda was grounded for what she had done earlier that week in school, no TV, no phone, and no computer. Avery couldn’t believe all the toys that Amanda had among other things that seemed to litter the house, like being grounded would be that big a punishment with all these toys Avery thought to herself. The house seemed to be loaded with gadgets of all kinds to accentuate the clean room atmosphere of the house.

　　She took out a board-game hoping to kill time and keep the girl entertained, all was going well until Amanda started losing, and threw the game board across the room before declaring that she was bored. Avery was pretty upset as she was having trouble dealing with the petulant little girl. Amanda was a little horror, as soon as her father left she proceeded to run around screaming as she demanded that Avery give her cellphone back and let her watch TV. Avery smiled as best she could scared as in her frustration as she considered her options in how to deal with Amanda, who seemed to be wrecking the house when she didn’t get her way, giggling as she was sure her caretaker would be blamed as she delighted in her tantrum.

　　Amanda seemed to take great delight in her destructive prowess as she knocked books off the shelf until she suddenly hit a switch which revealed a secret compartment. The room contained all sorts of high-tech equipment. Avery was weirded out as she saw a chamber suspended from the ceiling, along with notes and equations on a blackboard that she recognized from her physics course in high school. It was amazing Alan’s temporal experiments were going to be revolutionary, then Amanda hit a switch, a machine hummed to life, and rays enveloped them both. Avery rushed to turn the machine off, everything was feeling weird and she blacked out. When she awoke, Avery was astonished to see a strange woman standing over her, giggling. That was when she caught herself in a mirror now nothing more than a little 5 year old girl in a large t-shirt that engulfed her small chubby frame, Avery then put two and two together to realize the strange woman was Amanda who had somehow absorbed most of her aging.

　　Avery cowered as Amanda snickered, “I’m the adult now, looks like your the one that needs a babysitter” Avery gulped as she looked down at her little flat body.

　　 She looked up at Amanda, now a big adult woman. In her shock, Avery ran as fast as she could on her littler legs trying to get away from the big mean lady. Her flight was interrupted as Amanda with her larger stride scooped her up. Avery kicked and screamed but she was quickly over powered as she felt the thrall of Amanda’s tight grip.

Amanda smiled in delight as she placed Avery over her knee and gave her several spankings, “This is for not getting me my cellphone, or letting me watch TV” Avery cried loudly as she felt the searing pain of the spanking, effectively reminding her how weak she had become.

　　　Amanda found some old clothes for Avery to wear, threw them at her, and locked her in her father’s secret lab, cackling as she plopped on the couch and turned on the TV. Avery was in a bad situation, she was only a little girl, and she had to devise a plan to return to normal before Alan returned home and she would be in even bigger trouble. She put on the pink party dress that Amanda had thrown at her, looking at herself in the mirror as she looked even more like a little girl. The lab was now a big scary place amongst all the cold machinery making all manner of spooky sounds.

　　　She climbed up on a lab stool, and proceeded to read Alan’s notes checking on how she could configure the machine to return herself and eventually Amanda to normal. Everything was crude, but it appeared to be a time machine of sorts, that only seemed to have a localized effect. Avery was shocked as in the distance she heard her car turn over, she looked out the basement window to see Amanda in a pair of pumps and a red dress starting the car, giggling as she sped off clumsily, having never gotten any driver’s ed training. Avery worked at a quickening pace as the thought of Amanda grown up running around, driving her car scared her. She navigated through the control panels on a wheeled office chair as at her smaller size they would otherwise be out of her reach.

　　　She set the equation to advance time into the computer, hoping that it’d work. She quickly set the timer for a few minutes, and flipped the switch, the safety chamber opened, and she got in. The machine whirred to life as she felt the rays change her, the chamber opened up, and she immediately noticed she was roughly 17, “good enough” she thought, as she admired the return of her figure along with her chest.

　　She quickly gathered up her old clothes, then changed the equation to reverse time just in case she had to lure Amanda into the chamber. She looked at her phone, locating the app to activate the GPS locator in her car, and find its current position. She hacked the lab’s computer locks and quickly made her escape.

　　Avery secured the house before grabbing Amanda’s bike as she saw her car was a few miles down the road hoping nervously that it hadn’t sustained any damage. She pedaled nervously in the twilight of the setting sun as she looked at her phone, the car was only a few miles away. She dashed trying make haste as she imagined what kind of trouble Amanda could get into as an adult. She arrived completely relieved as she saw her car undamaged though ineptly parked as the vehicle was spread over two spaces.

　　She looked around in the chilling darkness of the dank parking lot of what appeared to be a busy nightclub as she heard the loud house music playing in the distance. Avery made it into the the club, telling the bouncer she was here to pick up her big sister who was too drunk to drive, she paused as she got an under-21 wristband. Quickly and expediently, she made her way through the crowd of the smelly dive-y bar as she looked for the adult Amanda.

　　She caught a lucky break that evening as she scanned through the crowd and found Amanda. Amanda was completely incapacitated as she was sprawled on the dirty couch nearly passed out as she was muttering. With the bouncer’s help, Avery easily led Amanda to her car, carrying her on their shoulders. Avery thanked the large man for his help as she located her car keys in Amanda’s purse.

　　Avery drove off, as she heard Amanda’s drunken ramblings. She looked at the clock on her dashboard as she anxiously drove back, knowing she only had an hour until Amanda’s parents would be home. Avery got back to the house as she set her keys down on the table, then opened up the secret lab. She was relieved as she went back to her car to get Amanda, who was already passed out, sleeping off her alcoholic buzz. With some effort Avery led Amanda into the house, down the stairs, and into the safety chamber. She set the computer to activate the machine, executing the program she had inputted into the computer. The machine whirred to life, when she got a call that the answering machine picked up ‘beep’ “hello Avery, were coming home a little later than we planned hope everything is OK.” ‘beep’

　　Avery panicked as she realized in her distraction, she wasn’t paying any attention to the machine, fretting when she remembered she had forgotten to set the timer. She rushed down the stairs to the lab in a hurry to deactivate the machine, the chamber opened, and as smoke poured out, Amanda was nowhere to be seen. Avery feared the worst, then the smoke cleared and she saw something moving under the dress Amanda had been wearing.

　　When Avery bent down for a closer look at the source of the movement when she saw a small pudgy baby girl with thin peach-fuzz hair and a chubby tummy. She looked to be six or seven months old as she scooted along on her belly to get out of her mom’s dress, which was now way too large on her. The baby girl cried her little eyes out when she saw Avery appearing to be a giant, as she feared retribution for her earlier deeds.

“Shh shh don’t worry little one I’d never harm a little baby, especially a little cutie like you” Avery said, smiling as she touched Amanda’s little nose with her finger.

　　Avery giggled as she picked up the cute little girl to comfort her, Amanda gurgled and drooled as she kicked her little legs, and squirmed at the sensation of being held. “We better get you in a diaper,” Avery said as she proceeded to fashion the shirt Amanda had been wearing when she was nine into a makeshift diaper

“looks like your not going to be going to any bars for a long time, aren’t you?” she giggled as she cooed baby talk to Amanda condescendingly poking the girl’s cute little tummy after which Amanda kicked her little legs and issued a giggle at being tickled.

　　　Avery panicked as Amanda sucked her thumb, oblivious to her current predicament as she enjoyed the return of her sucking reflex. She felt Amanda’s small hands brush against her face as she carried the baby up the stairs that led out of the secret chamber and shut the door behind her. Avery wasn’t sure what was going to happen as she sat the baby on the kitchen table. Amanda smiled as she laid down and proceeded to suck her little toes.

　　　Avery couldn’t believe that such a cute little baby would grow up to become such a rotten little brat as she stared into the little girl’s innocent eyes, pondering how much trouble was waiting for her when Amanda’s parents found their daughter in her current state. By sheer chance, Avery found Amanda’s cellphone in a cabinet, and delighted in giving it to the baby for all the good it would do her now.

“here’s your cellphone Amanda, I hope it was worth it” Avery giggled

Amanda smiled and drooled as she took the phone in her hands, and proceeded to play with it, smiling as it made all sorts of noises when she clumsily tried to dial. Avery was amazed as Amanda managed to call someone though she was unable to hold the phone up to her ear, Amanda set it down and tried to talk into the receiver. Amanda’s friend on the other end giggled when she heard Amanda prattle baby-talk to her, “Hello? Is that you Amanda?” she said, giggling as she hung up.

　　When she realized her words came out as baby prattle, and her reflexes were too unsteady to allow her to text, Amanda cried and bawled her little eyes out of embarrassment and frustration knowing that there was no escaping her situation. Avery grinned knowingly as she knew Amanda was in there somewhere. She recoiled as Amanda suddenly made a face that interrupted her crying and grunted smiling as a wet spot grew on the makeshift diaper. Amanda smiled as she let loose a series of muffled baby farts followed by a splatter telling Avery that Amanda had just pooped her diaper.

The girl cried loudly as Avery picked her up and untied her diaper “uh-oh somebody made a boo-boo didn’t she,” Avery said as she held the sad smelly little girl at arms length.

　　Avery never thought she would be changing diapers on her first babysitting job with a 10 year old girl. She was taken aback at the smell as she wiped the little girl with some toilet paper and cleaned her off with a washcloth, lacking proper baby wipes. She found a towel in the bathroom that she fashioned into a diaper with the help of a few safety pins. Avery looked down at Amanda, who was smiling as she was enjoying having her diaper changed, she cooed up at Avery in thanks now that she was all clean. Avery hugged Amanda smiling when the girl cuddled. As she cradled the little girl in her arms Avery knew she was sunk, not only was the machine broken, and the house in disarray, she also had to explain baby Amanda.

　　 Avery heard a doorbell ring several times only to see Amanda’s parents enter looking for her or any signs of life. Amanda smiled when she saw her mother, she said “mama” as she clumsily waved her little arms to get Marcia’s attention. It was over, the jig was up, but Avery’s panic turned to relief as Marcia took the smiling baby from her arms, cooing the baby girl. Marcia smiled, happy that she had her little baby back as she hugged the small infant, knowing that she had nothing more to fear from Amanda anymore. Avery explained in a rush how Amanda was throwing a tantrum, and discovered the lab where Alan was running his temporal experiments, quickly burning through the whole story.

　　In the end Alan hired Avery as his lab assistant, impressed at her quick understanding of his notes and her resourcefulness in manipulating the machine to return herself to her proper age. Alan and Marcia were very happy to have a second chance to raise their baby girl so she wouldn’t be spoiled this time around. They smiled, guaranteeing that Avery would have many more babysitting jobs to come, caring for Baby Mandy as she was now called. Avery looked forward to babysitting, she loved taking care of Baby Mandy, who smiled every-time she entered the room. Alan was able to fix the machinery, but kept the experiment private knowing that some things should just be left alone.
