"Good, I think we should swap how tall we are." Bri said hopefully.
"You mean height?" Josh asked his sister, which was followed by a nod. "Sorry sis, but I don't think I want to do that."
"Please Joshie? It's only fair, I gave you back your hair." She pleaded, making those puppy dog eyes once again.
"Why do you need my height anyway?"
"Two reasons. One, I want to see what it's like being tall, two, it could give me an advantage over the other players in tomorrow's game."
While Josh saw a point in reason number two, he still didn't want to swap though. "Nah, I think I'm good."
"Well we could always swap something else, like our private parts..." She said.
"You would really expect me to do that?" He questioned laughing.
"No, but swapping our height is not as bad for you. You can choose from one of them."
"And what if I say no to both?"
"Then you won't get your clothes back." Bri threatened.
Josh took this threat seriously, as he didn't want to end up with his youngest sister's clothes longer than he had to. Even though he chose to get his hair back rather than clothes, he was still not completely comfortable wearing them. He figured there was worse things than being smaller, and he was definitely not willing to swap away his manhood. "Fine, I agree to swap our heights." Josh said, ending the negotiations.
The flash of light returned, and when Josh's visibility returned, everything seemed WAY larger! He probably hadn't been this small since he was six years old. Bri was small for a girl her age after all, as he heard his mom say the other night that she was four feet, two inches. His old height was five feet, five inches, which meant that he had shrunk fifteen inches! He definitely felt a foot smaller, at least. He also felt lighter, as it wouldn't have been normal (or healthy) for him to remain the same weight but stand over a foot smaller. His arms, legs, hands, and feet were also generally smaller. Bri's clothes were once again resized, they were almost exactly the same size as when she had them.
Bri on the other hand, felt heavier, had bigger hands, feet, arms, and legs, and everything looked REALLY tiny to her! The ground now seemed so far away. She wasn't sure how much she grew, but she had to guess she was over a foot taller. Now She looked down and saw her now tiny brother, and couldn't help but think how cute he looked. "Hey LITTLE bro! Didn't see you down there!" She teased.
Now having to look up at his sister, Josh actually felt quite intimidated. "I'm still older you know." He retorted.
"Yeah, but your way smaller!" Bri ran into the bathroom that she and Courtney shared. There were two sinks, Bri's had a step stool in front of hers so she could reach at her old height. "Guess I won't be needing this anymore!" She said tossing the stool aside before opening a closet and putting it in there. "Whoa, I look SUPER different taller!"
Josh followed her sister into the bathroom, but he couldn't see over the sinks to the mirror. "I can't see!" He complained.
"Here, I'll help you!" Bri said laughing as she helped her now smaller brother on to the top of the table. Josh felt that it was really demeaning. He sat on top of the counter, and looked into the mirror with his sister. She was right when she said they looked really really different, but not in the way he thought she meant. They looked ridiculous! Not just because Josh was a boy wearing the clothes of his little sister, and vice versa, but Bri still looked like an eight year old, but the size of a teenager. Meanwhile Josh looked like a teenager the size of a six year old. He thought he kind of looked like a midget, not that he had anything against midgets. He still wasn't liking the swap though.
"Uhh... when can we swap back?" Josh cautiously asked his younger but now bigger sister.
"How about this, I already gave you your hair back, even though you said we could do it tomorrow night. You can choose whether you want your clothes back or your height back. I get the keep the other one for a bit longer after that."
That actually sounded like a fair deal to Josh. Eight year olds were sometimes over their heads and unreasonable, but Bri sometimes had her moments of intelligence. "Sounds like a fair deal to me." He said, hopping down from the table and reaching up to shake his younger sister's hand, while Bri reached down. "I'm going to go play some video games." He left his sister's bathroom and eventually her room, only much shorter than when he entered.
