I stared at my Muses for what seemed like hours. They were only minutes, but every one felt much longer than that. They were both still normal, having their hair down. It was no special style. Just their normal hair that went halfway down their backs.
I glanced at both Muses through a specialized microscope that allowed me to somehow see them smaller than even the Planck Length. The super tiny bed sat in the space where the bed normally would be. To my Muses, just this room probably seems bigger than the universe. Both Muses looked content when they slept, each pleasantly exhaling during their slumber. They both shared the same smile, like they were having a good dream and were both sharing it at the same time. That may have been good for them, but I was sitting there, waiting for both of them to change.
Several more minutes passed. Just when are they going to change? They have been shrinking continually every day for 100 days now. Prior to this, they were just normal Muses.
While I do like their original forms very much, I would very much prefer something different now. I then thought of all the negative forms that she has been in the past. Bad Idea Muse, Shy Muse, Evil Muse, Fat Muse, Dark Muse…maybe not that different. Hopefully, she will change into something good once again. I would assume that her twin counterpart all shared in these same transformations, as my mind has now gained awareness of the true timeline where the twin Muses always existed together.
“Please,” I pleaded. “Please change into something good. Not anything bad. Please…”
That is what I hoped every time that she transformed. In most cases, it’s not something bad. With her baby form, it wasn’t necessarily bad. Just very stressful and frustrating. Hopefully, she will be something less stressful, like her Pre-Teen form…
I continued anxiously waiting, until I heard a sudden gasp from both Muses. Why did they both gasp?
Then I saw it. While sleeping, the twin Muses began to flash. First, it was only once. Seconds later, they flashed twice. A few seconds later, the twins flashed a few more times. This was it. My two Muses were changing their forms once again.
A series of flashes emanated from the twin Muses as they both began to grow rapidly. They both grew until they were their normal size. Their bed also grew with them as their flashing continued. Their hair style which was down disappeared and their normal hairstyle reappeared: just one thick ponytail. A flashing banana emerging from their flashing hair.
Both of their bodies flashed while they continued transforming. Their legs, torso, neck, and face all contracted slightly. Are they both getting smaller?
And in just the same way the flashing started, it stopped. Both twin Muses no longer looked like adults now. They were in their normal clothes instead of a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. Muse was in a pink dress and white shirt. Twin Muse was in a purple dress and white shirt. I glanced at them quickly before they awoke. They were not babies, nor were they children or pre-teens, they were…teenagers.
My Muse then awoke and yawned. “Kyle…” she yawned, sounding confused. “Whoa. Did I just?” She glanced at her clothes. “Oh. Gross! Why am I wearing this? I’m a fashion disaster!”
“Bet!” Twin Muse said to her twin, giving me a puzzled look. “Why am I wearing THIS? Get out, Kyle. We need to address this fashion crisis right now!”
I left and let my twin Muses change into something more fashionable.
“Hey!” they both shouted. “You can totally come in now!”
I came in, seeing both Muses dressed in trendy clothes that reflected their totally unique styles.
“Sorry I took so long,” My Muse told me. “I had to make a TikTok wearing my favorite clothes! I totally hope that Harmony sees it!”
“Don’t forget Charity and Excited!” Twin Muse reminded her. “And my TikTok is totes going to get more views than yours!”
“Girls!” I shouted, breaking up the argument between the twins. “I’m sure they’re both good. Now, you both transformed. Do you see that you’re a little different?”
My Muse nodded. “Yahh…” She glanced at her hands. “Totes different.”
Twin Muse nodded in agreement. “I’m getting the same vibes. I’m not gonna lie. And…I just had my period!”
My Muse nodded. “That sucks! So did I!”
Twin Muse exchanged glances with Muse and glanced at me. “Kyle. Do you mind? Both me and my twinnie need to discuss some girl stuff, kay?”
I got out a tape measure with my One Privilege. I measured their age and nodded. Yup. They’re both 16 years old and they both weigh 62 pounds? They’re both 4 foot 4 so they’re both just two inches shorter than their adult height.
“Kyle?” My Muse eyed me impatiently.
“We’ll get new pads when he goes,” Twin Muse whispered to my Muse. “Please Kyle. We need to take care of some…girl stuff…”
I nodded and gave the teenage twin Muses their privacy, closing the door behind me. So, they’re both going to be teenagers this time? Judging how the other age-based cycles went, are they going to be different ages of teenagers each day? Who knows? With that, I’m going to have to get used to twin teenage Muses for the next 100 days…
