"Friend for a Day" was a special day at Dograb Junior School where, on certain days, the students are given permission to bring somebody from outside their school into school where they can be friends for the entire day. It was a day that many of the students looked forward to.
On one Monday morning, it was the eight year old Jack Doyle's turn to bring his friend for the day to school. Unfortunately however, he was unable to find someone to go with him. He was terribly upset. His mother, Zoe Huffman, the thirty seven year old bubbly drama teacher from Dograb college, tried her best to cheer him up, but to no prevail.
The two arrived outside the school, where Zoe was to drop off her son. Before she would say goodbye to her son for the day however, Zoe made one last attempt to cheer her only son up. She dropped to her knee and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Come on Jack," Zoe said in an attempt to comfort him, "Cheer up."
Jack simply continued to sulk. "I can't," he moaned, "I don't have a friend for the day!"
Briefly Zoe thought to herself, and she came up with a thought. "Why don't I be your friend for the day?"
"What!?" Jack exclaimed. "You can't, you're too old!"
"I'm sorry Jack. I wish there was more that I could do to help?" Little did Zoe realize was that she would soon regret those words.
Before Jack could leave he noticed something odd happening to his mother. "Mum," he said, looking at her face in confusion, "What's happening to you?"
"What are you talking about?" Zoe asked, until she noticed that Jack was somehow starting to grow. Startled by this, Zoe quickly leaped back to her feet, only to realize that, even while standing straight, she was somehow eye level with her eight year old son. She looked down to see that her entire body was changing. Her huge breasts deflated and her wide waist was trimmed. Her arms and legs shrank and her wrinkles quickly faded away. Even her clothes were changing. Her checkered top fused with her tight black leggings into the shape of a pink frilly dress. Her high-heels shifted into pink slip-ons with white frilly socks. "What's happening to me!?" Zoe screamed, only to cover her mouth with her soft hands at the change of her voice. By now she was noticeably shorter than her son, who simply watched the transformation in awe.
"Mum," Jack suddenly blurted in shock, "What happened? You look like the same age as me!"
"What!?" Zoe panicked on the spot as she continued to watch herself grow more and more feeble and child-like. Everything around was growing much larger. Overcome with shock, Zoe covered her eyes, wishing that the transformation would stop soon.
