Jon looked back at Karyn, terror in his (now her) small, frightened eyes. This HAD to be the results of someone messing with the wishing stone.
The Wishing Stone! His mother wasn't holding it, so that meant someone else! Sarah? Biff? Who could be using it?
"Karyn..." the tiny, diapered little girl wailed. "...it's Mikey! It has to be Mikey! He's got my stone!" as she broke away from her mother and started to run upstairs.
"Jon! I order you to stop!"
Jon came to a screeching halt and just stood there, her eyes still running with tears.
"Please don't hurt me, Mommy." the little girl wailed, and Karyn watched with horror as Jons mother said "Jon, your name is...Candice now, but the whole family calls you Candy. Now, because you tried to run from me, I need to slow you down as punishment. So...your a very fat, chubby little girl. And you're hungry. Very hungry, do you understand?"
Karyn watched as Jon (now Candy) began to inflate till she looked like a fat, little balloon. She looked horrified, but she licked her lips and touched her plump, fat belly. She looked utterly adorable, with ruddy cheeks, rosebud lips and soft, double chin.
"Mommy...I'm hungry..." she said, pressing her hand against her tummy. "...please don't do anything else to me."
"Now, Candy...you need to fit in around here...so I have to make you fit. First of all, who is that?"
She pointed at Karyn, and Karyn almost sprinted...afraid of what the crazy woman would do to her.
"That's Karyn, my girlfriend."
"No, dear...now accept what I'm going to tell you body and soul. That is Karyn, your babysitter. You love Karyn, but not the same way you used to. As you grow up, you'll love boys instead of girls, and you'll want very badly to be a mommy yourself. You'll want to have a big family, Candy. A very big family. At this age dolls are your favorite toys, and you love to play passive, quiet games. You're a VERY polite child, and very respectful of your elders. Do you understand, Candy?"
Jon was gone. Candy was a fat, little girl squeezed into pink overalls with a Disney fairy on the bib, over a frilly pink shirt. The bulge of her diapers obvious under her clothes. Her soft red hair was set in cute, childish braids. She stood very erect and obedient, and when Carol Merlyn (her mommy) told her to follow her upstairs, she waddled afterward. Karyn could hear her former boyfriend squealing with delight as she scampered about her room, gasping at how cute and pink everything was. She exclaimed with delight over her many studded animals and baby dolls, and she was soon babbling to dolls she knew by heart, calling one "Baby Beth" and another "Mindy Sue" as if she'd had them for years.
Karyn knew running would be foolish, as Carol Merlyn or whoever was behind this would just wish her back...or worse. Instead she followed, and saw Jon...poor Jon...sitting on the edge of her canopy bed with it's Disney Princess bed sheets and coverlet. Carol was telling her new daughter "...and you love your Mommy and Daddy VERY much. And you think of Mikey as your Big Brother, and always look up to your big brother. He's so big and strong..."
Candy - eyes big and full of interest - giggled and nodded, accepting everything she was being told. She ate a candy bar as she sat there, drumming her plump legs and giving her beloved, wonderful Mommy a chocolate-smeared kiss on the cheek.
"Candy wuves her Mommy." the child lisped sweetly.
A giggle from the room behind her.
Mikey.
Karyn turned and walked straight into his room, seeing the little bastard as he lay on his bed, holding the wishing stone and saying "...and you love to do whatever your big brother tells you..." before Karyn made a flying tackle at the boy.
