42. Her eyes were a warm coffee brown.
43. Tonight was her and her husband Mark’s 40th wedding anniversary.
44. She wore a long, exquisite evening dress.
45. The dress was a royal blue chiffon, sleeveless, hugging her waist before flowing to the floor.
46. A side slit up to her mid-thigh revealed elegant legs and a shimmer of silver body lotion.
47. The dress’s bodice glittered with intricate silver beading swirling like frost.
48. A delicate blue ribbon cinched at her waist, bow trailing near the slit.
49. She wore silver platform sandals.
50. The sandals had four-inch block heels, blue satin straps crossing over her toes.
51. The platforms were encrusted with tiny rhinestones and a silver trim, sparkling with each step.
52. Her toenails gleamed with navy blue polish, a layer of opalescent shimmer over the deep blue.
53. Her five pieces of jewelry were as follows:
54. 1. A tear-drop sapphire pendant necklace, set in white gold, glinting at her collarbone.
55. 2. A chunky silver bracelet with blue gemstones matching her pendant.
56. 3. Dainty stud sapphire earrings, glowing brilliant against her hair.
57. 4. A mother-of-pearl cocktail ring, large and lustrous, on her right hand.
58. 5. A simple white-gold wedding ring on her left hand, engraved with “Mark – Always.”
59. Her purse was a large, midnight-blue leather satchel.
60. It had multiple zippered and open pockets, exterior trimmed in silver, a silken blue scarf tied at one handle.
61. Inside the purse were her phone, wallet with cards and cash, a silk handkerchief, tissues, her lipstick, compact, small hairbrush, peppermints, and a tiny notepad with a pen.
62. At the counter, she was dabbing her lips with the new lipstick, a plush raspberry-pink, as she carefully extracted a twenty-dollar bill.
63. She set the bill under a note that read, “For pizza, Ryan and Cody! Have a blast – love, Mrs. Walker.”
64. While she checked her lipstick, Cody called out that he’d forgotten his jacket outside and dashed out.
65. Mark called out from the car, and Amelia hurried after, her heels clicking on the tile.
66. Doors shut, tires crunched the driveway gravel – Ryan was left alone.
67. He drifted toward the kitchen, drawn by the spread on the counter.
68. There were chips in a bright blue bowl.
69. A nearby platter overfilled with mini chocolate bars, caramel squares, and peanut butter cups.
70. Tall glasses stood beside a family-sized bottle of cherry cola, beads of condensation pooling underneath.
71. A dish of grapes nestled beside an open bag of barbecue potato chips.
72. Ryan’s gaze roved hungrily over the bounty.
73. He ate a caramel square, the glossy paper crumpling in his hand.
74. Then curiosity tugged Ryan’s thoughts away.
75. He padded into the quiet hallway.
76. The grown-up part of the house always fascinated him; forbidden, mysterious, scented faintly of roses and fabric softener.
77. He slipped into Mrs. Walker’s room, looking for adventure, not trouble.
78. Sunlight filtered in through gauzy curtains.
79. Her bedspread was crisp and white, with indigo and teal pillows piled high.
80. He tiptoed around, peering at her makeup stand piled with tall bottles and shiny compacts.
81. A blue velvet box with its lid half-off revealed a sparkling necklace.
82. Next to it were two pairs of glasses, one gold-rimmed, one black plastic.
83. On the chair stood a pair of tall, strappy gold stilettos and nude-colored wedge sandals.
84. A glittery clutch lay beside a shimmery shawl.
85. There were flowery blouses, a suit jacket, a few silky scarves draped on the bedpost.
86. Next to the closet were pink heels, obviously too small for Amelia, and a sequin-covered halter dress—items that belonged to Cody’s older sister, Molly, who was always trying on her mother’s shoes and clothes.
87. Some silver bangles and long, dangling earrings, likely Molly’s as well, lay on the stand.
88. Ryan moved closer, accidentally nudging the covers astray.
89. He backed out, but his heel caught on the loose comforter.
90. He tripped, tumbling forward, landing with a thud.
91. His shoes and socks flew off, bouncing under the bed.
92. His feet slid into the enormous platform sandals.
93. He didn’t mean to wear them—they just caught him as he scrambled up.
94. As Ryan tried to kick them off, something strange happened.
95. The sandals clung stubbornly.
96. His toes tingled and popped.
97. He looked down to see the beginnings of change.
98. 1. His tiny toes stretched long, graceful.
99. 2. Baby-soft arches curved, high and delicate.
100. 3. The little pads of his feet thinned, skin smoothing.
101. 4. Pale pink calluses appeared, like those from years of wearing heels.
102. 5. Lighter freckles faded, replaced by polished, tan skin.
103. 6. The nails lengthened, squaring off.
104. 7. Toenails shrank smooth–then painted over in navy blue shimmer.
105. 8. Ropy veins laced up across the top, becoming more defined.
106. 9. The ankles thinned, sparse hair vanishing.
107. 10. The skin shimmered, perfumed with floral lotion.
108. 11. A faint blue vain at the inner ankle mirrored Mrs. Walker’s.
109. 12. High arch became pronounced, adult bones sharp but feminine.
110. 13. Soles broadened, then narrowed in the shape of the platforms.
111. 14. Skin texture grew softer, but mature and supple.
112. 15. A stray beauty mark appeared above his right sandal strap, just like Amelia’s.
113. Ryan stared, frightened, at his now-womanly feet in the sparkling platform sandals.
114. On the dresser was a photo in a silver frame: Mrs. Walker and her husband, dressed in formalwear.
115. Amelia wore the same blue dress, hair elegantly piled, smiling at her husband who had his arm around her, both grinning and holding a glass of champagne.
116. Ryan whimpered, “I don’t want to be my friend’s mom. I don’t want to be girly, she hates video games and is so old and I hate makeup and nail polish.”
117. Another photo leaned next to it—Amelia’s mother, smiling, standing in a garden wearing a yellow sundress with a wide sunhat, hands full of fresh-picked flowers.
118. In his panic, Ryan knocked both photos to the ground.
119. He heard the glass crack, but the changes didn’t stop.
120. There were more pairs of shoes under the bed—red patent leather pumps, sparkly lavender sandals, and a pair of beaten-up ballet flats.
121. A gold sequined shrug and a floral maxi dress, more of Molly’s trials, were strewn over a bedroom chair.
122. Jewelry—hoop earrings, a pearl necklace, costume rings—tangled together, left from Molly’s earlier fashion experiment.
123. Ryan tugged desperately at the comforter, loosening the covers even more.
124. Barely able to keep his balance, Ryan rushed out, knocking over the snacks and sending chips scattering across the floor.
125. The money and note fluttered to the ground.
126. The note now read only “Cody, for pizza - Love, Mom,” as if Ryan’s name had never been there.
127. “Noooooooooooo… my feet look so gross and girly! Help, please!”
128. His legs began to morph as well.
129. 1. His calves lengthened and slimmed, muscle memory of high heels forming.
130. 2. Knees seemed to pop, growing knobby then smooth.
131. 3. Fuzz vanished; skin turned smooth, moisturized.
132. 4. Freckles faded.
133. 5. Calves curved elegantly outward.

136. 8. A faint blue vein trailed up the inner knee.

139. 11. Hips flared, thighs thickened proportionally.
140. 12. Knees and joints ached with phantom memories of grown-up aches.
141. 13. The blue chiffon skirt formed, hugging new curves before falling loosely.
142. 14. The side slit appeared, cool air breezing over his exposed leg.
143. 15. Skin dusted with subtle silver shimmer.
144. Ryan’s torso and chest changed, each detail emerging.
145. 1. His waist indented, narrowing.
146. 2. Chest widened, ribs reforming.
147. 3. Shoulder bones shifted, collar prominent.
148. 4. The blue ribbon fastened firmly at his waist.
149. 5. Back broadened before slimming into a womanly V-shape.
150. 6. Sides pinched in softer curves.
151. 7. Skin turned smooth, gently scented.
152. 8. The dress’s bodice clung close, beaded and shimmery.
153. 9. The neckline swooped in a modest dip.
154. 10. Chest swelled, developing a mature bust.
155. 11. Subtle lines formed beneath his armpits.
156. 12. Shoulders rounded elegantly.
157. 13. Freckles disappeared.
158. 14. The bodice sparkled with intricate beadwork.
159. 15. The whole effect was unmistakably feminine, stately.
160. His arms and hands changed next.
161. 1. Arms lengthening, smoothing with age and care.
162. 2. Elbows losing childhood knobbiness.
163. 3. Skin grew soft, faint age lines appearing.
164. 4. Subtle muscle replaced with slender curves.
165. 5. Hair on arms faded away.
166. 6. Wrists thinned, bony but elegant.
167. 7. Hands stretched, nails lengthened.
168. 8. Cuticles became even, hands moisturized.
169. 9. Veins became subtly visible.
170. 10. Finger joints grew graceful, nimble.
171. 11. Nails painted the same shimmery blue as toes.
172. 12. Palms softened, calluses gone.
173. 13. Freckles faded, replaced by a mature, even complexion.
174. 14. The skin faintly perfumed.
175. 15. Hands looked ready to grasp a purse or jewelry, not a controller.
176. Ryan wailed, “I look so girly! Don’t want to be my friend’s mom, she’s so girly, and I don’t want to be her!”
177. His face, hair, and head morphed, the most dramatic changes of all.
178. 1. Skull widened, jaw softened.
179. 2. Cheekbones rose higher.
180. 3. Nose refined, nostrils shrinking.

190. 13. Teeth shifted to a perfect smile.
191. 14. Jaw softened, lines appearing faintly at the mouth’s corners.

200. 23. Crow’s feet and laugh lines deepened warmly.
201. 24. A faint beauty spot appeared near her left cheekbone.
202. 25. The whole effect: Amelia Walker, elegant anniversary queen.
203. All five pieces of Amelia’s jewelry materialized around him.
204. 1. Sapphire pendant nestled at her throat.
205. 2. Silver bracelet twinkling at her wrist.
206. 3. Stud earrings in place.
207. 4. Cocktail ring sparkling on her right hand.
208. 5. Wedding ring slipped with finality on her left.
209. The heavy blue purse formed at her side.
210. Voice deepened, softened, matured—Ryan spoke, “Oh!”—in Amelia’s unmistakable, gentle contralto.
211. She gasped, clapping a slender hand over her mouth.
212. She felt thoughts rattling, shifting, swirling inside her mind.
213. Memories of Sunday school, wedding anniversaries, and recipes nudged aside sleepovers and cartoons.
214. Fondness for floral lotions, a firm opinion about silver jewelry, and the subtle aches of being 63 crept in.
215. Desperate, she hurled the purse onto the kitchen table.
216. She kicked off the sparkling sandals, tossed the jewelry in a frantic heap.
217. “I don’t want to be Cody’s mom! Please, this isn’t me! Someone help! I don’t want to be old or girly or wear makeup, I want my feet back! I want my games! Please!”
218. As the horror ripped through her, the phone began to ring on the counter.
219. The caller ID glowed: “Marky Bear ❤”
220. The newly-formed Amelia stared, not daring to answer—her heart pounding.
221. She ran to Cody’s room, yanking out a video game controller for dear life.
222. “Maybe, if I just… if I move Mario, I can stay me,” she thought frantically.
223. Her painted nails gripped the controller, trembling.
224. The TV blinked to life too slowly.
225. Air swished beneath the slit of her dress; her grown-lady legs visible beneath the chiffon.
226. With every heartbeat, her memories of combos, secret codes, levels, and characters faded.
227. “Okay, c’mon, just… just load! I—I’m… Cody loves these games, uh, he told me that—oh dear, did I just say…?”
228. The system’s logo twirled… 89 seconds left.
229. Her posture shifted, knees pressed together, sitting upright, gown spread primly.
230. She tried to keep a straight face, talking: “Come on, just start already, please, I really—oh, heavens, sit up straight…”
231. 80 seconds; her ankles crossed demurely, unbidden.
232. “I don’t want—This controller feels odd in my… in my… And these—Oh, my manicure looks …lovely? No! Just load the game now—please…”
233. 65 seconds, wrists and shoulders curved in a grown-lady’s elegance.
234. “Can’t be old—can’t know what a sale is. What’s a… bash button combo? Please, I just need… this to…load… just a few more… seconds…” Her voice shifting higher, more maternal.
235. 50 seconds, “Let’s just… play this nice game together, dear. Oh! No! I mean—just play my—What is this? Sonic or Mario or… I…”
236. 40 seconds; she found herself checking her reflection nervously.
237. “Better not get any—smudges—on this lovely dress. NO! Games! Games… move—just start, please.” Her diction now motherly and gentle.
238. 25 seconds; she twisted the controller in her hands: “Sweetie, no need to hurry, take your time—wait! That’s not right… Please, just hurry up and start… dearie.”
239. 10 seconds, her brow furrowed, feeling uncertain. “Oh, this feels so strange, I should be—do I even remember how to—what is…”
240. 1 second left: “Oh, finally, it’s starting I—”
241. It was too late.
242. The game blinked on, but in that brief pause, Ryan as he was no longer existed.
243. Amelia Walker sat in her son’s room, controller in hand, not recalling why she was there.
244. She frowned, puzzled, and said, “Now why on earth would I be holding this silly little toy?”
245. Rising in her dress, she strode out to the kitchen.
246. She saw the mess: chips, candy, spilled soda, her purse, sandals, and jewelry scattered.
247. The sight was exasperating, yet oddly familiar.
248. Amelia tidied up, muttering, “Was I not getting ready for a dinner with my darling Mark? Julia, you’re sixty-three, pull it together! That man—Marky Bear—can be such a handful but goodness, he’s a loving husband.”
249. She glanced at the chaos and sighed, “Cody or his friend must have made such a ruckus—or perhaps even Mark, sneaking snacks.”
250. She called up the stairs, “Cody, sweetheart? Ryan, darling? Anyone up there? Marky-bear, are you still home? Sweethearts?”
251. No one answered.
252. The darkened hallway at the top of the stairs loomed.
253. She called again, “Marky-Bear? I swear, I’ll be up in just a moment!”
254. Silence.
255. She hurried nervously down to the kitchen again.
256. One at a time, she slipped on her sapphire jewelry.
257. 1. Pendant fastened, sparkling blue ice on her chest.
258. 2. Bracelet clasped—weighty, familiar.
259. 3. Sapphire studs pressed in her ears, tingling.
260. 4. Mother-of-pearl ring slipped on her right hand.
261. 5. Wedding band secured, calming warmth on her finger.
262. Setting her platform sandals in front, she lowered herself to the ground, sighing, “Oh, my beautiful shoes. Trying to kill me when I trip now, are you? But you sure do make these legs look good.”
263. With attention, she donned the left platform.
264. 1. Slipping toes in, feeling secure in the plush lining.
265. 2. Adjusting straps to hug foot perfectly.
266. 3. Smoothed the arch, loving the familiar fit.
267. 4. Fastened the ankle buckle.
268. 5. Admired the blue shimmer and heel height.
269. 6. Checked that toes peeked prettily.
270. 7. Flexed the foot just so.
271. 8. Wiggled the newly glamorous toes.
272. 9. Smiled at navy polish, no smudges.
273. 10. Set the heel softly on the floor, sure.
274. She did the right foot:
275. 1. Nudged straps away.
276. 2. Slid in toes.
277. 3. Adjusted heel.
278. 4. Tugged up the straps.
279. 5. Buckled securely.
280. 6. Checked heel’s glint in the light.
281. 7. Wiggled foot, appreciating the support.
282. 8. Tucked foot under, admiring perfect fit.
283. 9. Tapped heel to ground, testing stability.
284. 10. Both feet clad, she stood tall.
285. Sliding purse over her shoulder, she strutted confidently to the hall mirror.
286. She reapplied her lipstick, a rosy sweep, and touched up her cheeks with just a hint of blush.
287. Examining herself, she whispered, “Julia Amelia Walker, you are a grown woman, with grace and wisdom. You have raised wonderful children, built a loving home, and married the most flirtatious and dashing bear of a man. There is nothing you haven’t seen this world throw at you.”
288. She glided up the stairs and paused at the doorway of her bedroom, surveying the mess.
289. Spotting one of Molly’s heels, she grumbled, “Really, this girl! Why must she always sneak my outfits and shoes? These are for grown ladies, not children playing dress-up. Molly ought to wait until she’s matured into her own style.”
290. She twirled in front of the full-length mirror, askew hairpins, jewelry glowing, and asked, “Do I have everything? Purse, phone, keys, lipstick, earrings, ring, necklace, bracelet…oh! The shawl—I’m always forgetting my shawl, good heavens.”
291. She smiled wider, musing, “You know, Julia, you survived so much—change, loss, and certainly the fashion faux-pas of the ’90s. My generation learned to be strong, independent, and yet, I still keep everything running at home, better than any of these new-fangled apps today.”
292. She pictured the fancy restaurant: candlelit tables, white linens, silverware shimmering. “A night like this—oh, just one glass of red, maybe a toast of prosecco, and I won’t have to do the dishes! Heaven on earth.”
293. Her phone rang, Mark’s name glowing on the screen.
294. She beamed, “There’s my Marky-Bear. I must have missed his call earlier!”
295. She answered, “Hello, darling! Did you try to call before?”
296. Mark’s voice crackled warmly, “Hey, sweetheart, you didn’t answer me before—just making sure you’re okay. Ready for our anniversary?”
297. She frowned in confusion, “You called earlier? I… don’t remember seeing it at all.” She scrolled through her call log, furrowing her brow. “That’s odd, I could have sworn I…”
298. Mark chuckled reassuringly, “Maybe you just got caught up getting all gorgeous like always. I can’t wait to see you—almost home!”
299. Julia Amelia Walker laughed, warmth washing away the strange anxiety. “You’re too much, Marky-Bear. These years, you still know how to make me blush.”
300. “See you in five, love!” Mark said, hanging up.
301. She put her phone away, the mysterious missing call fading like a dream.
302. Downstairs, the house was sparkling.
303. Outside, Mark’s car pulled into the drive, headlights splashing golden across the walk.
304. Julia Amelia took one last, admiring look in the full-length mirror, straightened her necklace and shawl, and walked gracefully toward the door—the undoubted matriarch of the Walker household, never suspecting she had ever been anyone, or anything, but herself.

She kicked off the sparkling sandals, tossed the jewelry in a frantic heap. 217. “I don’t want to be Cody’s mom! Please, this isn’t me! Someone help!

Her painted nails gripped the controller, trembling. 224. The TV blinked to life too slowly. 225. Air swished beneath the slit of her dress; her grown-lady legs visible beneath the chiffon. 226. With every heartbeat, her memories of combos, secret codes, levels, and characters faded. 227. “Okay, c’mon, just… just load! I—I’m… Cody loves these games, uh, he told me that—oh dear, did I just say…?” 228. The system’s logo twirled… 89 seconds left. 229. Her posture shifted, knees pressed together, sitting upright, gown spread primly. 230. She tried to keep a straight face, talking: “Come on, just start already, please, I really—oh, heavens, sit up straight…” 231. 80 seconds; her ankles crossed demurely, unbidden. 232. “I don’t want—This controller feels odd in my… in my… And these—Oh, my manicure looks …lovely? No! Just load the game now—please…” 233. 65 seconds, wrists and shoulders curved in a grown-lady’s elegance. 234. “Can’t be old—can’t know what a sale is. What’s a… bash button combo?

Games… move—just start, please.” Her diction now motherly and gentle. 238. 25 seconds; she twisted the controller in her hands: “Sweetie, no need to hurry, take your time—wait! That’s not right… Please, just hurry up and start… dearie.” 239. 10 seconds, her brow furrowed, feeling uncertain. “Oh, this feels so strange, I should be—do I even remember how to—what is…” 240. 1 second left: “Oh, finally, it’s starting I—” 241. It was too late. 242. The game blinked on, but in that brief pause, Ryan as he was no longer existed. 243. Amelia Walker sat in her son’s room, controller in hand, not recalling why she was there. 244. She frowned, puzzled, and said, “Now why on earth would I be holding this silly little toy?” 245. Rising in her dress, she strode out to the kitchen. 246. She saw the mess: chips, candy, spilled soda, her purse, sandals, and jewelry scattered. 247. The sight was exasperating, yet oddly familiar. 248. Amelia tidied up, muttering, “Was I not getting ready for a dinner with my darling Mark? Julia, you’re sixty-three, pull it together! That man—Marky Bear—can be such a handful but goodness, he’s a loving husband.” 249. She glanced at the chaos and sighed, “Cody or his friend must have made such a ruckus—or perhaps even Mark, sneaking snacks.” 250. She called up the stairs, “Cody, sweetheart? Ryan, darling? Anyone up there? Marky-bear, are you still home? Sweethearts?” 251. No one answered. 252. The darkened hallway at the top of the stairs loomed. 253. She called again, “Marky-Bear? I swear, I’ll be up in just a moment!” 254. Silence. 255. She hurried nervously down to the kitchen again. 256. One at a time, she slipped on her sapphire jewelry. 257. 1. Pendant fastened, sparkling blue ice on her chest. 258. 2. Bracelet clasped—weighty, familiar. 259. 3. Sapphire studs pressed in her ears, tingling. 260. 4. Mother-of-pearl ring slipped on her right hand. 261. 5. Wedding band secured, calming warmth on her finger. 262. Setting her platform sandals in front, she lowered herself to the ground, sighing, “Oh, my beautiful shoes. Trying to kill me when I trip now, are you? But you sure do make these legs look good.” 263. With attention, she donned the left platform. 264. 1. Slipping toes in, feeling secure in the plush lining. 265. 2. Adjusting straps to hug foot perfectly. 266. 3. Smoothed the arch, loving the familiar fit. 267. 4. Fastened the ankle buckle. 268. 5. Admired the blue shimmer and heel height. 269. 6.

She reapplied her lipstick, a rosy sweep, and touched up her cheeks with just a hint of blush. 287. Examining herself, she whispered, “Julia Amelia Walker, you are a grown woman, with grace and wisdom. You have raised wonderful children, built a loving home, and married the most flirtatious and dashing bear of a man. There is nothing you haven’t seen this world throw at you.” 288. She glided up the stairs and paused at the doorway of her bedroom, surveying the mess. 289. Spotting one of Molly’s heels, she grumbled, “Really, this girl! Why must she always sneak my outfits and shoes? These are for grown ladies, not children playing dress-up. Molly ought to wait until she’s matured into her own style.” 290. She twirled in front of the full-length mirror, askew hairpins, jewelry glowing, and asked, “Do I have everything? Purse, phone, keys, lipstick, earrings, ring, necklace, bracelet…oh! The shawl—I’m always forgetting my shawl, good heavens.” 291. She smiled wider, musing, “You know, Julia, you survived so much—change, loss, and certainly the fashion faux-pas of the ’90s. My generation learned to be strong, independent, and yet, I still keep everything running at home, better than any of these new-fangled apps today.” 292. She pictured the fancy restaurant: candlelit tables, white linens, silverware shimmering. “A night like this—oh, just one glass of red, maybe a toast of prosecco, and I won’t have to do the dishes! Heaven on earth.” 293. Her phone rang, Mark’s name glowing on the screen. 294. She beamed, “There’s my Marky-Bear. I must have missed his call earlier!” 295. She answered, “Hello, darling! Did you try to call before?” 296. Mark’s voice crackled warmly, “Hey, sweetheart, you didn’t answer me before—just making sure you’re okay. Ready for our anniversary?” 297. She frowned in confusion, “You called earlier? I… don’t remember seeing it at all.” She scrolled through her call log, furrowing her brow. “That’s odd, I could have sworn I…” 298. Mark chuckled reassuringly, “Maybe you just got caught up getting all gorgeous like always. I can’t wait to see you—almost home!” 299. Julia Amelia Walker laughed, warmth washing away the strange anxiety. “You’re too much, Marky-Bear. These years, you still know how to make me blush.” 300. “See you in five, love!” Mark said, hanging up. 301. She put her phone away, the mysterious missing call fading like a dream. 302. Downstairs, the house was sparkling. 303. Outside, Mark’s car pulled into the drive, headlights splashing golden across the walk. 304. Julia Amelia took one last, admiring look in the full-length mirror, straightened her necklace and shawl, and walked gracefully toward the door—the undoubted matriarch of the Walker household, never suspecting she had ever been anyone, or anything, but herself. --- *(End of story)*
