You get up quickly to turn off the alarm next to your bed before rolling over and falling back down on the mattress. You feel very uncomfortable though, something is odd about your chest, it feels like you are laying on top of water balloons or something. You shuffle about trying to make the feeling go away as you are too tired to get up and investigate the strange feeling. Nothing works, so you roll over again on your back, but you can still feel some weight moving around on your chest. Without opening your eyes, you take your hand and brush it against your chest. You jolt up out of your covers immediately as a weird tickling sensation overcomes your whole body. This really gets you up and you finally look at yourself to see whats wrong. You become frightened a bit when you see two small bumps on your chest, but the fear slides a few notches toward confusion as you realize that you've never seen the shirt that you're wearing before. It was white and covered with hearts of various shades of pink. A thud echos off the floor as you leap out of bed and run to the bathroom mirror. All the while, you can't seem to shake the feeling that everything seems a bit bigger than it was yesterday. Finally you make it to the bathroom and flip on the lights. They shimmer before shining to their full brightness as you stare at the mirror trying to see what's going on. As the room lights up you see a strange face looking at you, the face of a young girl. She had a fairly intense look on her face, though her eyes contained a little sleepiness. She had her brown hair in two ponytails and was wearing the pink heart shirt you saw on yourself before, complete with two bumps that were rather prominently pushing up from under the shirt. As you kept staring you started to realize what had happened to you. Correspondingly, the girl before you slowly lowered her jaw and moved back.
You want to scream, you can feel the urge building up in you, but it just doesn't come. Without thinking, you tilt your head down and unsurprisingly you see a female body. There is no escaping it, you really are a girl. Just then, the door opens and you jump in fright before turning to see your sister Christy looking in. She is smiling.
"Hello 'Joe', freshening up in the bathroom?"
You can't believe it, your own sister did this to you. Even if you read her diary, this was just too much.
"Christy!"
You stop and hold your hands up to your mouth in disbelief at your high pitched voice. Not only were you a girl, but you sound a lot younger than 16. Christy just laughs.
"You like it? I can make it even better."
Your sister takes out a small white stick and waves it at you. Immediately you feel like singing.
"The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round, the wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town!"
Your voice now sounds like that of a kindergardener.
"Christy stop it! What are you doing to me!"
"Well I made you twelve, gave you a girl's body, and just now I changed your voice to that of a toddler's. You had the nerve to snoop through my stuff and then you laughed when I told you how mad I was. I'm just getting even. You see, I'm a witch, but I'm still practicing. I figured that if you don't want to respect my privacy then I should get to practice on you."
Your tiny fists shake as you are about to yell at your sister, but you realize that she is right. It is your fault that you're like this.
"I'm sorry."
Christy walks up to you and hugs you.
"Good, but you're not off the hook... Josephine. I still don't know what I want to do with you. So, you're going to be a little cutie for a while until I decide your punishment. For now, just go about your business. Everyone still remembers you, they just know you as a twelve year old girl. You're even in the same grade. Magic is neat isn't it?"
Christy puts her hand to her chin and thinks for a minute.
"Speaking of school, it's about time you got over there. I'll fix your voice with my wand and then send you on your way. Bye bye!"
You sister takes out the stick again. She waves the wand once, then twice, and you suddenly feel yourself being pulled into the sky. You move so fast that you can't tell where you are or what is happening, and then you find yourself sitting in a desk.
