Staring at your computer screen, your eyes start to wander between Alexis, the instructions laid out before you and back at the laptop which is still booting up. You drum your fingers anxiously on the wooden table while Alexis' height continues to dwindle, getting younger with each minute that passes. That makes you think for a second, your computer never takes more than a minute to boot up, why the hell is it taking so long this time? 
 
"What is TAKING so long?!" Alexis screamed, her now prepubescent voice a shrill screech in your ear. "I'm gonna be a damn newborn if this takes you any longer! What made you think this prank was going to be funny?!" 
 
"I don't know... I just thought it would be." You say stupidly, feeling the irony of a child making you feel immature. "It's not like I really knew you were going to get younger, so stop bothering me. Ugh, why is this damn computer taking so long?!" 
 
That's when you see the flash, and the blue light emanating from your laptop.  
 
The infamous blue screen. 
 
"This worthless computer," You shout angrily, while resetting it. "of all the times to freeze up, it decides to do it now." 
 
"Oh my GOSH!" Alexis started pouting.  
 
Her whining makes you finally turn your attention from the computer, to see that she's younger than you expected. She's standing within the waistband of her pants that have now fallen around her ankles, far too big for her to even hold up. A pink bra, still clasped, is circled around her as well, having slid off her shoulders with no breasts to fill it out. And she now has her striped blouse draped around her like a cape, to keep her decency, it's bottom cuff and sleeves wrinkling against the ground. All in all, she looks only five years old now. 
 
Scared at how young your girlfriend is getting, you pull your computer closer which is now at the log in screen. You let out a sigh of relief, the computer freeze cost you some time, but icons are slowly filling your desktop now as it begins loading. As soon as you see the 'Virus Overload' icon, you furiously click on it and enter the program. From what you read of the instructions, all you have to do is load up your list of sent pranks, choose one of them and click the 'Stop Virus' button. You do exactly as it tells you, pull up the 'Younger Opinion' prank that was affecting Alexis and click 'Stop Virus'. 
 
"I feel really weird." States Alexis, as she wobbles over to you on her tiny legs. "But I think it worked, I'm not getting any younger! Now hurry and change me back, I wanna be my old self again!" 
 
You slam your laptop closed, tuck it under one arm and grab Alexis with the other, treating her more like your child than your girlfriend. She sees you leading her outside and asks, 
 
"Hey, where are you taking me? You're supposed to change me back!"  
 
"I don't have time right now Alexis," You explain while heading to your car. "I almost forgot since I was worrying about you, but I sent a fat gaining prank to Matt and a gender prank to my brother Josh. I have to hurry and get to them, just get in the car Alexis, and make sure you buckle up."  | Members who added to this interactive story  also contributed to these:    |
