Forever Magic

Chapter 6
Oh Dear

So there he was, a grown man, naked but for the torn traces of an 8-year-old girl’s outfit, stuck in a very public girls’ bathroom. There was no way of waiting it out, the shop had to close some time and a locked stall would certainly be checked eventually. There’d be no good time for escaping. He was well and truly screwed, no matter how he looked at the situation.

After what seemed like an eternity of taking stock, hoping for a change, Ethan finally gulped, took a deep breath, covered himself as best he could, and put his hand on the lock. ’So this is the worst day of my life,’ he figured, ’but what other choice do I have?’

Suddenly hearing a male voice, he froze.

"Cleaner - anybody in here?"

’Yes!’ Ethan thought. It wasn’t the kind of solution he’d like, but at this stage anything seemed better than the prospect of walking out into a busy street naked and ’dressed’ like he was. He had to take the cleaner’s clothes. It was the only way. He’d never used violence before in his life, but he was pretty sure he could overpower most average people. For the second time in as many minutes he told himself: He Had No Choice. Gulping even more heavily, breathing even deeper, he unlocked the door, readying himself for attack.

But instead of the surprised face of a young cleaner man, Ethan Alexander’s adventurous day took what would be its final turn for the worse, or so he hoped. First he heard the voice, a woman’s voice -

"It’s okay you can come on in, I’m just changing my little girl -"

- and then he saw the faces. The young mother he had seen in the eating area, a diaper bag in one hand, the hand of a daughter, the strange staring little girl, in the other, and the androgynous toddler - which he now could see clearly was female - laid out awkwardly on the baby changing facility. Clearly they had just entered, and their faces clearly had just seen a large, hairy, naked man step tentatively out of a bathroom stall. The little girl looked curious, staring like before, even, Ethan was sure, amused? The mother, however, looked terrified as any tabloid would expect. Ethan stopped moving and held his hands up in surrender.

"It’s ok, I know this looks bad," he began in vain.

"Stay the fuck where you are," and she turned to the door and opened her mouth to scream. And it was there that she froze.

Everything froze.

He hadn’t noticed it until now, but through the walls of the bathroom, there had been a dull sound of traffic outside. Suddenly all was silent and it was more conspicuous in its absence. There had been another sound, he now realised, just before it ceased. It was a whispering, a foreign, maybe ancient, maybe even alien language ... ’what was it?’ Ethan thought.

"It was me," the little girl moved forward, making Ethan jump back, causing the last of his clothing to give up the ghost and fall off his body, leaving him completely naked. He moved to cover himself but the girl motioned for him not to bother.

"Don’t worry, you can come out now. It’s just me and you till I make it otherwise."

Ethan blinked at the girl. She sounded too grown up, it was unreal, like that meant anything on this day. He stepped back further, putting his hands over his manhood, realising she was staring right at it with disturbing intent. He glanced over at the mother. She wasn’t moving, her fearful eyes still turned towards the door. Where was that cleaner he’d heard?

"Don’t worry about her," she looked at his hand at his groin, "and don’t worry about that, believe me I’ve seen them before. If you want me to help you, you’re gonna have to come out here."

Ethan finally found his speech.

"Who are you?"

"You got one of the packages this morning, right?"

"You sent those?"

"No. Come on, step out here and let me look at you."

"I can’t, it’s - you’re not -"

"I’m not what I look like. I’ve the body of a 5-year-old girl because it pleases me to look like this, but I’ve seen more and I know more than you can possibly imagine. Step out here, and take your hand off that ugly thing."

He gave in. The day, he decided, could not get weirder. Maybe - hopefully - it was a dream afterall. The sooner he got arrested, the sooner it could all be over. He stepped out into the open, towards the girl, all his modesty on display, and the girl came forward to meet him.

The strange girl reached out and without hesitation touched his penis lightly, curiously sighing,

"I missed mine for so long, but I got over it. You will too. They are so, so ugly, don’t you think?"

"You used to be a boy?"

The girl sighed again.

"Now, I can get you out of this, but you might not like what happens. But it’s my way or jail -"

She walked over to her mother and unzipped the diaper bag. She pulled out a pair of panties exactly like the ones Ethan had received that morning.

"You don’t understand, I want to be a girl. I want whatever you’re planning."

"Don’t be so sure."

She eyed him, the curiosity in her eyes practically tangible now.

"OK, if you’re so sure, put these on."

She handed him the panties. When they made contact with the skin of his fingers, Ethan realised there was a difference between these and the others afterall - these were much, much, softer. He’d never felt anything so soft.

"Nobody has," the girl smiled smugly.

"They work like the other ones?"

The girl smiled again,

"Better than."

Ethan hesitated. He didn’t like the look of that smile, and this girl creeped him out.

"Look I can unfreeze this situation fast as I froze it. You can put them on and get out of here or leave them off and end up in jail."

Ethan knew she was right, again, he had no choice. He slipped the panties over his feet and stopped when he noticed nothing happening.

"Just pull them up, all the way, they’ll fit,"

’So that’s why they’re softer,’ Ethan thought, ’they don’t work like the others.’ He pulled them up and over his penis. They were ridiculously comfortable. Yet still, nothing was happening.

"Why -" Ethan began.

"Shh!" And with that, the girl began again in that foreign, ancient, alien whispering. And Ethan felt himself changing. This wasn’t like before. He felt every alteration in his body with shocking precision and intensity. This was it, he thought, I’m going to be a girl forever. This change was going to be permanent. He could feel it. Feel his penis shrinking, shrinking away, every inch of it he felt, once and for all time, a little vagina in its place, feel his body dwindling in height, his hair becoming softer and longer, his body hair receeding, he felt everything and it was the greatest feeling ever.

But the changes weren’t stopping. Ethan realised he was now the same height as the girl, shorter than he’d ever been before. His chest was completely flat, and he was getting chubbier and chubbier, and now, he noticed, the panties were changing too ... they were ... swelling, inflating. Suddenly, Ethan fell flat on his butt, his legs inexplicably giving out beneath him. It didn’t hurt, the panties - no - the diaper - cushioning his fall. He felt so small, and looking up at the girl, who was still chanting, clarified his size. He looked down at himself. She’d turned him into a baby girl, and feeling the diaper filling with pee, he knew it was forever magic she’d used. She had stopped the whispering, and she looked down at him, smiling. He couldn’t speak or get up, he couldn’t do anything but gurgle and gawp.

"You’re so beautiful, baby sister. I’m gonna call you Abby," she said, clapping her hands together and unfreezing time. The traffic noise struck up again outside, the mother turned with a forgetful look on her face, a young cleaner boy entering behind her, startling her.

"Oh! Yes. Don’t mind us, we’re just finishing here."

She turned back to the kids, the youngest of which was laying inexplicably in the middle of the floor with an obviously very wet diaper.

"Lolly what on earth is Abby doing down there on the floor?"

"I don’t know mommy," the strange little 6 year old faintly replied while the mother rushed forward to pick Ethan ... Emily ... Abby ... off the floor.

"Abby my precious. Oh, you need changing again, don’t you?" she giggled.

"Why on earth do you look so surprised?"
