Part 4

Chapter Description: The role reversal continues. Can Taylor figure out how to stop it? Can or will Suzy help? Will Taylor and Suzy accept their new roles? Will they have a choice?

Suzy could see that Taylor was sad. “Maybe you need magic... or leprechauns!?”

Taylor shook her head “There’s no such thing as leprechauns.... and magic is nothing but tricks. This is -real-!”

“’K!” answered Suzy who was ready to go play. Her ever youthening body was filling with even more energy to match her personality.

“Sweetie, we’ll get this figured out. You can go play in the backyard but don’t talk to anyone and don’t go anywhere! I’m going to study this more”

Suzy bounced down the stairs and skipped into the yard. She was ready to see how high she could swing. Taylor stared at the mess in front of her. What was different? What made it work before? What could she have possibly accomplished as a 6 year old that she couldn’t accomplish with her maturing mind? It was a daunting task that she faced and she knew time could be running out. Time marched on. Taylor knew her body was changing but she tried to ignore it. Her chest was larger. Her body was taller. Her legs longer... her hair longer... her nails were longer.... Her loose-fitting clothing was now tight. The elastic was stretched in her sweatpants. The bottoms were around her calves. Curiosity overwhelemed he and she had to get a better view. She ran to the bathroom to see her reflection in the full-length mirror.

Sweet 16! Taylor saw a pretty teenager staring back at her. Her body had matured so much! She liked what she saw. She stood naked in front of the mirror and examined herself more closely. Her breasts felt so unusual as she touched them. Her skin felt so smooth and soft. She brushed her long hair back and smiled. She turned and looked back to see her long smooth legs in the mirror. Was this what it felt like to be a woman she wondered? She began to draw a bath and collected one of Suzy’s razors. Soon, she was lounging in the water, shaving her legs and feeling even more grown up.

Outside, Suzy was growing even younger. Unlike Taylor, Suzy’s curves were shrinking. She was growing thinner and shorter. A few freckles threatened to appear on her face. She was 15. Mother and daughter’s ages had now passed. Taylor was not mentally and physically older than her mother.

Taylor toweled off and looked for something to wear. She realized that her mother’s wardrobe was now where she would have to find her clothing. She tried on a pair of her mother’s high heels and quickly adapted to walking in them after a few mis-steps. She tried on low cut dresses and admired her newfound cleavage. After spending time modeling different outfits Taylor suddenly realized that she’d lost track of the time. She had made no more progress on her invention and she’d wasted hours!

She raced downstairs to find Suzy and hoped she was OK. She knew Suzy would be even younger... and more innocent by now. She was right.... Suzy was now a coltish 14 year old. She still wore only a large T-shirt but it was now positively huge on her.

“Wow.... you’re pretty!” Suzy said, as she saw the now older Taylor for the first time.

“I’m sorry, hon! I lost track of time and forgot about dinner. I’ll order us another pizza and then it’ll be your bed time!”

“PIZZA! YAYYYYYYYYYYY!” Suzy squealed as she danced happily in a circle “I LIKE PIZZAAAAAAAA!”

Taylor found herself feeling even more protective of young Suzy. Now that Suzy was physically younger than Taylor it made her seem even more vulnerable. Taylor also realized she was forgetting what it was like to be a kid. She was losing touch with her youth at an alarming rate and she knew it. She began having serious thoughts of giving up and accepting things as they are.

“Are ya gonna work more on the invention?” Suzy asked.

Taylor sighed “I don’t know. I’m not having any luck whatsover, sweetie. Maybe in the morning I’ll feel differently about it. I need a different approach I guess. Maybe it isn’t meant to be?”

“You used to be reeeeeeeal good at ?venting stuff!” Suzy told her. “How’s come you can’t do it now?”

Taylor shook her head “I don’t know.... I’m putting it off until tomorrow. I need to step back from it. ...Besides... you need your dinner!”

“Yay!!!! Pizza time!” Suzy squealed.
