Chapter 2:

Let the Hunt Begin

As soon as Sam, Jessie, James and myself were giving the signal to begin, we darted out of the door pushing each other in hopes of getting the good age eggs first. My parents usually hid the eggs in simple spots, the mailbox, tree stumps, behind rocks, etc. Before we began my parents began the speech they gave every year before we began the hunt

As all four of you know, now begins the egg hunt. You know the rules, each egg will either make you older or younger. Whoever is the oldest will be allowed to turn back while the rest have to stay that way till tomorrow at the same time the hunt ends explained our mom

Yeah, we know. Joked Sam

Yeah, but this year there is a new rule. In the past when you regressed or aged your clothes would stay the same making it hard for you to run either with them being larger or smaller. So this year we decided to add that when you do age or youthen your clothes will change as well to make it at least a little easier to run or walk said dad

If you don’t have any questions, let the 6th annual Venny Age Magic Easter egg hunt begin.

Then it was finally time, we restarted our pushing to get each other out of our way so we could find the best eggs first.

The first place I looked was the mailbox and luckily no one had looked there yet and I found my first age egg. I quickly opened the egg to read how many years I would loose or gain. Inside the note said I would loose 5 years making me 12. Right away I felt the years slip away from me. The surroundings grew a little bigger as I grew younger. I could even feel some of my hair on body retreat back into my body as I exited teen hood. Like my parents had told us earlier, my clothes shrunk down with me, so I wouldn’t have a problem looking for the eggs with oversize clothing. Then I reached my destination of 12. It wasn’t a good start but I knew that I was bound to find an aging egg. What I didn’t notice at first was my brother Sam saw the whole thing.

Tough luck, John I found an aging egg in my first attempt said Sam who clearly had found an aging egg that aged him 10 years into a 20 year old.

Yeah well your luck will end this year and I am sure mom and dad have cute baby clothes for you I remarked not giving up hope so early in the game

Don’t count on it, I’m going to win again this year and by the looks of it, I’m winning.

After our little conversation, Sam ran off to look for more of the aging eggs as so did I. I looked and looked all around the outside of the house to find at least one aging egg but I was always beat to it by Sam as usual. Then I saw an egg under a tree, I didn’t know what kind it was or how many years, but I had to take the risk. I quickly ran towards the egg and when it was just in reach, my sister Jessie beat me to it.

Sorry John, better luck next time. The egg is mine said Jessie opening the egg.

However the grin quickly turned into a very disappointed look as she dropped the note that was inside.

I picked it off the ground to read wait fate she got. I too was surprised to see what it read.

“Loose 13 years”

When I turned away from the note I didn’t see Jessie at first but when I looked down at the ground, in her place was a 2 yr old baby girl whose clothes had turned into a pink dress that head a bunny on it and training pants with cartoon animals on them. Little Jessie was thinking, thank god for the new rule, she would have hated running around the yard naked.

It was a good thing you beat me to the egg or I would have been out of the game I laughed remembering how lucky I was to being in diapers.

Yeah well, you might become younger then me soon said Jessie looking at the embarrassing clothes she was now wearing in her new squeaky toddler voice.

For a while, I gotten some luck as I found some aging eggs that neither did Sam, Jessie or James found. I did however later managed find one that aged me to 23, which was 6 years older then the age I started out as. James had been not as lucky, in his first egg find he got one that made him 12 years younger, automatically kicking him out of the game, due to the rules. Jessica had found only one egg since her encounter with me which made her age 3 years making her a 5 yr old. Sam as usual had very good luck, the last time I saw him he had to be maybe 30 or something..

Looks like its really down to me and you, John said Sam

Hey don’t forget about me said little Jessie

Its not over till its over, plus there are plenty of aging eggs left I responded

And plenty of youth eggs remarked Sam

After our little talk we went on our way to look for the remaining eggs. After looking without luck. I heard something that sent chills down my spine. It was the sound of a baby girl crying in the distance. Right away I knew that was Jessie and by the sound of her voice, she had to be an age where she was out of the game. I assumed that there had to be maybe 5 eggs left now after we exchanged how many we got we had that little conversation. Also there was 4 youth eggs and one 1 aging egg left and it was up for grabs. I managed to get one of the youth eggs, that dropped my age into an 2 yr old. Sam got the other 2 also making him 2. We both knew the last egg was an aging egg and it would decide the winner and there was one place it could be. Behind the door. We both ran as quick as our little toddler legs could run and we both saw the egg in sight.

Its mine I yelled at Sam as so did he.

Not if I beat you to the egg said Sam

We ran up the stairs to the door as we both tried to grab the egg. It was a close one but in the end, my brother got the egg.

Haha, in your face John, enjoy the rest of the day as a baby while Ill be...

Before Sam finished, he dropped the egg and the note that was inside. I picked it up and read it.

“Loose 2 years”

And behold where Sam was, now was a new born baby boy crying hard. I couldn’t believe it, I was sure the last egg left was an aging egg. I looked at the paper again and at first I didn’t see the writing on the back.

“Sam how many times have we told you not to cheat. You think we didn’t see you sneaking out of the house to see us hide the eggs and see where the aging eggs are. For punishment you will be this age for a week. That should help you think about not cheating.”

I couldn’t believe it, I was right all along. Sam was cheating. But how did my parents know this would be the last egg he would look for and how young to make him.

Later I learned, that my parents had put a little spell on all the eggs that no matter which egg got to last, he would loose enough years to be incable of doing much.

After Sam regression my parents came from inside carrying little James and Jessie who was now little bit under 1, which I didn’t see her regression, but I knew she was out of the game when I heard a baby girl cry.

Congratulations, John for winning this years age magic Easter egg hunt said my mom who was carrying Jessie

Yes, as you know, the winner may turn back or if you want you can stay a 2 yr old for the day said my dad

No thanks dad, I prefer that I be my normal age of 17 I said

Are you sure, it might be fun being 2 again said my dad

Yeah I’m sure, I had enough wearing training pants.

As you wish said my dad

I right away felt myself grow back to my normal age as all of my baby teeth that returned as I returned to toddler hood began to disappear yet again and my adult teeth returned in their place. I got back all of teen hood, from facial hair and even when I got to 13 my voice crackled a little bit till I got a little older. Then I shot up like a rocket. Then I was 17 again.

The rest of the day was the same as the other five Easters my family did the hunt except that I wasn’t one of the losers this time. While I enjoyed the victory of eating full solid meals my brothers and sister had a different meal. Jessie and James had baby food while very little Sam had to settle was a bottle of milk. Even though for the moment they couldn’t talk, but I knew they weren’t enjoying this at all.

The next day Jessie and James were turned back while Sam had to continue his punishment for another day. The rest of us, tried to make it easy on Sam, we tried to entertain him but since he was a new born for the moment he couldn’t do much. Then at exactly a week later at 5pm, Sam’s punishment was over and was returned to his normal age of 10.

So Sam did you learn your lesson of not to cheat asked mom

Yes mom said Sam

Good well we should start getting ready for the next special day and do you know which one is coming up?

First we didn’t think about it and then it hit us all. The holiday we hated the most was in deed the next one coming up.

It will be so nice to have my kids be little again on Mother’s day.
