"What did you say?"
"Simple, John," Your mother said, calmly. "Like I had explained a week ago, since your grades are slipping I had thought that, as an incentive, I would let your sister be in charge while I am away on my trip. But, since you didn't seem to listen I had no choice. Lucy, until I get back, you'll be in charge."
Without another word, your mother dragged her suitcase through the door and it closed shut behind her. This was just great, your seven year old sister was in charge of you for the next week, all because of a single failed math test.
Without even acknowledging her, you stepped past Lucy, into the living room and lay down on the couch. Your frustration grew as you stared up at the ceiling, wondering just how this week could get any worse.
"Josh?"?
You turn to see Lucy standing next to you with a glass of water.
"I'm sorry if I did something that made you angry. If you want, I'll just leave you alone."
"Yeah, whatever, shorty."
Lucy said nothing, only passing you the glass and walking away. You thought you had seen a slight smirk before you drank the water, lean back and fell asleep.
You awoke later to what sounded like thunder, only to smell the worst thing in your life. You couldn't figure out exactly what the smell was, only that it made the garbage dump smell like a freshly baked cake. Disoriented, you looked around for the source of the smell. A moment later, your body fell and you were snapped out of your daze b something wrapping around you and lifting you higher.
"So, who's short now?"
Lucy's voice rang out from above you and you focused on its source, only to see that she was squatting over you with one hand holding you in place.
"Sorry for the rude awakening, little bro," she giggled as she lifted your minuscule body closer to her mountainous ass. "but, I couldn't wait any longer. I couldn't..." She snickered to herself before trying again. "I couldn't hold it in."
As if on cue, a massive wave of warm air surrounded you as the thunderous sound rang out again and the stench returned. It didn't take a genius to realize what jsut happened.
"How? When? What?" Your questions flowed like a waterfall, with Lucy only giggling in response.
"Simple, I didn't think you were going to do well on your test and since mom was going to leave me in charge, I thought that I would make it a bit easier. This way looking after you will be like looking after a pet. Or, rather a bug that I can punish if they misbehave. Do you remember when I tripped at the family reunion? How I accidentally tooted and you said it smelled like a garbage truck?"
You swallowed, remembering how some of your cousins laughed while you were scolded by your mother. You didn't think Lucy would remember that much.
"Well, I thought about it. Maybe the reason you wanted to embarrass me was because you liked it and were too embarrassed to admit it."
You didn't understand where she got that idea, but quickly dreaded where it was going as she rose from the couch and began walking away towards her room.
"I didn't like what you said, but I've come to realize that maybe it's a good thing my farts are so bad. It'll give me a way to punish you if you're mean to me now."
You look ahead to find that her room was cluttered with all her different toys, rearranged to look almost like a city or at least a maze.
"I want to make a deal, little bro. If you can evade me for five minutes, then I might change you back. But, if you can't, then you have to deal with my stink farts until mom gets back. Sound good."
She set you down and stepped back. You had no way out of this, so you ran as fast as you could into the clutter until a minute later you heard Lucy stomping around trying to find you. You looked back only to trip. You closed your eyes and prepared for the worst.
