Ms. Timeless

Chapter 4
My Problems Just Keep Getting Smaller

Michael continued to stare into the petit face that was like his, but at the same time, so different. It was still hard to believe that this cute little teenager, staring at her from the mirror was actually a boy just a few seconds ago.

“Is that really me?” the female Michael asked herself, once again startling herself with her new voice.

Suddenly a nearby noise startled the confused girl and she tripped over the pants at her feet. She cried out suddenly as she want falling forward, trying to catch herself before falling. She was able to steer herself into the wall and leaned her body against it. The feeling she got from her new add-ons made her blush fiercely. It was just a weird feeling to say the least. Something Michael couldn’t put into words.

For a longest second of her life, Michael listened for the source of the noise. Soon, she heard footsteps coming towards the changing room.

“Do you think that kid got away?” one of the thugs from earlier asked nervously.

“If we did, then we’re in big trouble,” another thug said, just as nervous as the last.

Suddenly something clicked in the back of Michael’s mind. This store was one of the few with an exit in the back, in case of a fire or something like that. But then if that was true, then shouldn’t there be some hostages, screaming for help. But then shouldn’t Michael hear them through the thin walls?

“Listen, let just say we caught the kid and put him with the rest,” the third thug said, calmer then the others. “I mean I highly doubt he would bother to check. Beside, I don’t think he saw what the kid looked like.”

With the rest, Michael thought confusingly. I think there’s more to that Ice guy then meets the eyes.

Michael listened to the sound of footsteps, walking slowly away from her hiding spot. Michael listened carefully as the sound slowly faded away. When the footsteps were completely gone, she waited another five minutes before decided to venture from her hiding place.

Easily pulling her feet free from her oversized male pants and shoes, she peeked out from changing room. After a quick scan, she decided it was safe to come out. Almost immediately after trying to walk out of the changing room, she nearly fell onto her face. She managed to catch herself against the wall before falling.

“This is going to take some getting use to,” Michael muttered, embarrassingly looking at her C-cup breasts.

Doing another quick check to see if she was still okay, she hurried off to the back of the store. She then spent the next ten minutes, walking, spiting and running to get use to how different her new female body felt compared to her older male body.

To say that her new body felt similar to her old body would be an understatement. She had learned not, only did this new body feel breakable but she was more emotional then she had been in her entire life. She had felt like crying for no real reason, but the part of her was still a man, hid them back.

“Now that’s out of the way I can’t go walking around looking like some kind of penniless tramp,” Michael’s eyes suddenly widened when she said that.

It just sounded so girly that it had surprised the former male adult. But at the same time, realize how true that last sentence was. So with a sigh of defeat, Michael set out on her first cloth shopping experience as a girl.

No sooner then did she starting looking, did she come across another problem. The store was in the process of closing and was having a going out of business sale. It was a rare thing when a store in the mega mall closes, but when it does, it always a special event. So the picking was a little slim. Grumbling, Michael began looking through what she could find, carefully not to stay close the entrance so she wouldn’t get caught.

A few minutes later, Michael found herself back in the changing room she was hiding in just a short while ago. She looked at herself in the mirror, studying herself good. She had managed to found a mini, brown skirt, a one size to small yellow t-shirt, plain white high tops and black knee high socks. Finally, she found a hooded, blue and orange summer jacket. She needed to roll up the sleeves because it was a size to big for the petit girl.

“Okay, Michael, you got yourself some clothes, now what?” Michael suddenly frown as she said her name. It just didn’t sound right anymore. It just didn’t suit the cute face staring back at her.

“Well, Michelle, now what are you are going to do?” the newly named Michelle asked herself bitterly.

Suddenly, the image of her father’s murder jumped into her head. That image kept repeating itself in the former boy’s head causing tears to build up in her eyes. Suddenly, an angry looked appeared in Michelle’s eyes and a fire of determination was lit.

“Who cares if I’m a girl? I’m not going to let that scum get away with murdering my father!!” Michelle said angrily. “But how did I do it?”

Suddenly a light bolt was lit in Michelle’s head as a plan came to mind. Her late father had worked this mall since her she was a little boy. So, she probably knew this place better then most of those movie thugs rejects. And knew all the best places to trip those idiots.

It’s not the best plan one could come up with but it might work, she thought hopefully as she carefully made her way to exit.

She kept the shadows as she check for anyone coming. She was slightly surprise to find the coast clear. Still, she wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth and quickly dashed out of the store. She quickly, but stealthily kept to the shadows as she made her way to her destined location. Surprisingly, she meant with little resistance, only having to dodge one or two guards on the way. She made it to her destination within five to six minutes. Michelle stared at the garden section with a look of determination in her eyes as she entered the store.

For the next 15 minutes, Michelle worked on her plan. She was mindful to keep an eye out at the entrance so not to get any unwelcome guests while she worked. She thanked her lucky stars that the thugs were movie rejects and didn’t get disturb.

It wasn’t easy, carrying heavy bags around the department. She would have problem when she was still Michael, but with this smaller, strangely breakable body, it was almost impossible. What could only be described as a shear force of will, was the thinner then normal boy turned petit girl, able to lift the heavy objects need for her plan to work. When she was finally done, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling satisfied be her work.

Now that the easy part out of the way, it’s time to put my plan to the test, Michelle thought, suddenly becoming nervous.

She cautiously step out of the gardening department and cast her eyes around the area. Luck, or bad luck was with her as she saw five thugs coming her way. They looked like they were about to have a casual smoke. She let out a nervous sigh as she took a couple of steps away from the department store’s entrance, but still kept in running distance. She let out another sigh as she went over her plan in her head again. It wasn’t something she was looking forward to, but figured it was the best shot she had at the time.

“Hey you!!” She called out to the thugs. “I think you missed me!!”

That got the thugs’ attention and they immediately stopped what they were currently doing. They instantly snapped their guns in front of them and charge towards the former boy. Michelle stood her ground, waiting for the prefect time to turn and run. When the thugs were about two feet in front of her, she turned and ran, running with all of the energy her new body could give her.

She ran into the store with the thugs close behind her. She ignored the demanded from the thugs, telling her to stop. She kept her eyes facing forward, waiting for the instrument for her plan. It was easy to spot, being a plain rope, hanging right in the center of the store. She couldn’t help but grin when she saw it. That grin was quick replaced with a loud gasp as a familiar feeling suddenly exploded throughout her entire being.

It can’t be what I think it is? Michelle thought in distress.

Time seemed to stop for the former boy as she was had an out of body experience. She could only watched as she quickly lost height. She watched as the curves of her new body slowly disappeared or were covered in body fat. She watched as her face lost the little adult features she had left, disappeared.

She watched as her hands became small and chucky as her arms became shorter, causing her jacket’s sleeve to fall over her smaller hands. Her legs quickly shortened causing her sock to bunch up as their fell down. Her high-tops began to winkle as her feet became smaller and didn’t fell up the inside anymore. Her skirt starting to slip off as her waist shrunk and her ass quickly shrunk away to a mere nothing, but a child’s rear. She blushed fiercely as her pink-stripped panties were exposed.

Her beasts, that once strained her one too small sized shirt, quickly shrunk into her chest until they were completely gone. Her shoulders became smaller and less sharp then when she was 18. Finally her face was covered in more baby fat then before. Surprisingly though, her hair didn’t shrink with the rest of her body, but it did lighten to a golden brown color.

Time resume it normal speed and an eight year old, 3 feet and a half Michelle suddenly tripped on her oversized shoes. She went rolling on the floor, causing her to loose her skirt and panties in the process. She came to a stop few steps in front of the rope and quickly got on her knees. She looked at her hands, covered in her jacket’s sleeves.

“Not again!!” she exclaimed in surprised, startling herself with her much higher pitched voice.

She suddenly gasped as she remembered the thugs chasing her. She snapped her head around and saw that they were greatly shocked by the sudden change. Not wanting to loose this change, she ditched her jacket and hurried to the rope, while the thugs were stunned. She felt energy pooling into her body and she reached the rope before the thugs could recover, only to be meant with another problem.

“Oh, you got to be kidding me?” Michelle screamed in frustration as she tried to reach the rope by jumping.

She had set up the rope so she could grab it and gave it a hard pull. Incase the trip didn’t work she would need to get away fast, and didn’t want the rope to get tangle up with her. So she had set it to be long enough for her to grab it but short enough that it wouldn’t tangle up if she needed to ran away. But she hadn’t counted on the suddenly regression into a short eight year old girl.

She shot a quick glaze at the thugs and nearly cursed when she saw them starting to recover. She looked around, hoping to found anything of use. Luck was with the regressed girl this time as she spotted a step leader, used for watering plants that no normal person could reach, very close. Without much thought, she ran for it, picking up the ram of her oversized shirt so not to trip again.

She made it to the leader and picked it up with both hands. She then ran back, careful not to trip on her shirt and made it back without trouble. It was about this time that the thugs’ shock wore off and they begin advancing towards the regressed girl. She jumped onto the leader and quickly jumped up, grabbing a hold of the rope and hoping that her weight would be enough to pull it did. She smiled widely as she felt the rope shift under her weight.

The thugs suddenly stop again when the heard a series of strange noises. The looked around, trying to pinpoint the source of the noises. Suddenly a bag of fluidizer dropped from one of the surrounding display racks around the thugs and fall right upon one a thug on the far left. He fell to the ground, groaning slightly before blacking out.

The other thugs got scared and made a mad dash into the store, trying get away from the danger zone. Suddenly two riding law mowers came out of nowhere and two thugs ran right into them. They want flying over the machines and the thug on the right landed on an artificially pitch of grass. He triggered a small piece of string, on the grass, causing it to vibrate. That in turn caused a lever to be released and two pots, tired together came falling down, hitting the thugs on his member.

Guess, I measured that one wrong, Michelle thought as she winced, recalling how painful something like that could be.

Needless to say, the entire experience had knocked out the thug. The other thug that had walked right into her lawn mower trap had landed on another pitch of artificially grass and triggered something like his friend. But unlike his friend, he got a small ball of seed packets to the face. It was still good enough knocked him out.

The other two were able to get by her lawn mower trip and ran for her. Suddenly a thug had walked right into another one of her trips, stepping on a thick, yet loose board. That caused six gardening racks to come flying up, hitting him in the head all at once. It was enough to took out the forth thug, but that didn’t stop the final thug for charging.

Somehow the final thug made it to Michelle without setting off another one of her traps. Michelle gasped as he lunged for her. Time slowed down as she let go of the rope and fell just as the thug soared over her head. The guy suddenly landed in a wheel barrel full of fluidizer. Michelle then dove forward, pulling out a pin near the wheel barrel. It trapped a rope, holding two full bags of fluidizer. It dropped on the front of the wheel barrel and sent the flying. He yelled out as he soared through the store, eventually meeting with the wall at the end of the store. Suddenly a bucket placed, poorly on a high display shelve came falling right on top of the thug’s head! The thug moaned slightly as he fell backwards, hitting his head as he came down.

“I can’t believe that actually worked!!” the eight year old said in surprised.

In true, Michelle had turned the entire store into one big trap. There were only a few places in the store that was safe, and she had carefully memorized them in her mind, so she wouldn’t get caught in one of her own traps. It actually amazed her that she was able to set this all up in just 15 minutes. Her shoulders still ache from lifting those heavy bags around.

Okay, I have them out, now what? I can’t do much with this small body, Michelle wondered to herself.

Suddenly, she felt that all to familiar tingling, exploding without her body. Getting to her feet, she watched, as she floor got further away quickly. Her baby fat disappeared quickly and her legs sharpened. Her arms became more slender and her finger narrower. She watched as her hip extended out and her waist folded in and her ass pushed itself out. She blushed madly as she watched hair grow in her private zone. Finally she felt her growing beasts pushing against her shirt. The entire process took less time then when she regressed.

“Okay, that’s something you don’t see everything day,” an embarrassed Michelle muttered as she want to collect her clothes.

After collecting her clothes and getting dressed, Michelle tied up the thugs, stuffed their mouths with cloths and loaded them onto a floor dolly. After that, she stuck them in the back room, where there were little they could be to alert anyone else. She then paused to think of this new problem.

“And here I thought my problems couldn’t get any smaller,” she said in bitter sarcasm.
