Wednesday 3:47PM
Jon's mother sat in her car, texting her children to tell them that she was coming to pick them up today, when suddenly....she wasn't. It was as if someone cut her out of the life of Linda Madison...leaving a hole that would be filled by someone else. Meanwhile, elsewhere, another vacancy had opened up for her to fill. But it was like a round peg that was trying to be shoved into a square hole. Motherhood...didn't fit...higher education...gone. The effects on aging on her body started to be removed, rolling back the decades till a brown haired teen was standing there. The brown hair began to grow out, tinted with blonde highlights...unlike Sarah McMillan, who had been purely blonde. She was suddenly dressed in a Lake Point High School cheerleading uniform, and under her, her body shifted, growing a bit more toned, and her sports bra filling up to a size she hadn't when she was a teenager the first time.
Linda McMillan walked down the hallway on her way to cheer practice. As she walked, her body language shifted, her mind filled with entitlement. She relished in her sexy sway, drawing attention from some nearby boys. For a short moment, that gave her pause, before even that last bit of adult responsibility vanished...although it wouldn't be right for the head cheerleader to be late. She thought about her date with Biff that night, and how she was planning to go all the way. She looked down at her ripe, full breasts and smiled. She had every boy wrapped around her finger, and she knew it.
After practice was over, Linda was surprised to see her mother sitting off to the side. She hurried over, surprised. Her parents were always off attending some business or other function...neither of them were at school very often. "Mom?" She asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd surprise you," her mother said. "I wanted to see you practice."
Linda raised a brow. Her mother was always interested in her being a cheerleader...but actually showing up? "That's...wonderful," she said. "I mean...I know how busy you are."
"Well, my plans for the afternoon were suddenly open," she said. "So, I thought...why not? And now that practice is over...Your father is stuck at a work meeting, it can be just the two of us tonight."
Linda paused. It was so rare that her mother did something like this..but she had plans with Biff... Should she cancel? She was torn for a second. She could push her date with Biff till the following evening...
As for Mrs. McMillan...until earlier that afternoon, that had been Susan...but no longer in this reality. And being as Mrs. McMillan was rarely at school, it was unlikely she'd be there again in the short-term. But before today, she'd been...
