The two 'children' were suddenly occupied with thoughts of what they could wish for with
  Sara's 'wishing coin'.

  'You're too little to be playin' with something like this!' Sara told them.

  'Awwwwww c'mon!' LuAnne complained 'We'll only wish for good stuff!'

  'I don't think it's a good idea' Sara replied wanting to keep the coin for herself. She liked being
  big and she liked the idea that her brother and mother were now younger than her and didn't
  know any better.

  'But I just wanna use it for a little bit.... Pleassssssssssse! Pretty please!' LuAnne whined.

  'Why? Pleassssssssse.... Pleassssssssse...... Just one wish! C'mon....
  Pleasssssssssssssse!' LuAnne's whining continued.

  Sara shook her head at her mother's childish behavior. She didn't have much patience for
  LuAnne's whining and it quickly got on her nerves as she continued driving toward home.

  'You know you're being awfully whiny? You should learn to be a 'little lady' and not so
  ummmmm bratty' Sara said in an increasingly frustrated voice.

  'Pleassssssssse' LuAnne again whined as she drummed her feet against tha back of the
  driver's seat.

  'The way you're acting makes me wish Louis was back. At least he wasn't whiny.' Sara said
  without thinking as she pulled into her driveway.

  Suddenly Kyle exclaimed 'COOL!'

  Sara glanced in the rear view mirror to see what Kyle was excited about. There she saw
  LuAnne had again been transformed into Louis!

  'Ohhhhh..... Fudge! I didn't mean to ~really~ wish for Louis!'' Sara groaned upon seeing 'him'
  smiling his mischievious grin.

  'But we didn't finish having fun before. We're like pals!' Kyle argued 'I like having a brother
  instead of sisters!'

  Sara was still amazed at how well the wishing coin worked its magic. Kyle no longer thought
  of LuAnne as his mother. She was now his sister. He seemed not to think anything strange
  about now having two sisters nor did he remember that it was his mother that HE had turned
  into Louis in the first place. He still remembered Louis from before but the inconsistent details
  seemed to be erased from his mind.

  Louis, on the other hand, was a bit confused about the conversation. 'What're you two talkin'
  'bout?' he asked.

  'None of your business!' Sara barked. She didn't like Louis at all. 'I wish you were a girl again!'

  'HEY! No fair!' Kyle yelled but it was too late. Louis was again LuAnne. 'OK, let's get inside
  you two.'

  With that the 3 exited the vehicle and went inside the house.

  LuAnne was still not happy about not getting a turn using the coin. She didn't seem to
  remember being Louis and was whispering her displeasure to her 'brother' 'She's bein' awful
  mean. It's not fair I don't get a turn with the 'wishin' coin! We got as much right to it as her.
  She's just a big bully!'

  Kyle seemed to agree but didn't know what they could do..... Sara was so much bigger than
  them!

  Sara's first thought upon entering the house was to head to her mother's room. She wanted to
  see herself in the full length mirror. It wasn't long before she was lost in her new body and it's
  abilities to 'wear' clothing from her mother's closet. She experimented with high heels,
  wobbling around the room and giggling. All the while she was in the bedroom LuAnne and
  Kyle were plotting on getting the 'wishin' coin.

  They could hear Sara giggling. Finally, LuAnne suggested that she could sneak up there and
  see if Sara had seperated herself from the coin. LuAnn tip-toed to the room and peeked in.
  Sara was setting at her mother's makeup table wearing an expensive gown and applying
  makeup.... albeit rather clumsily. LuAnne scanned the room and saw the coin on the bed.
  She stealthy walked to the bed and grabbed the coin and slipped out unnoticed.

  'Did you get it?' Kyle asked upon seeing his 'sister' return.

  'Yip!' LuAnne exclaimed barely able to conceal her excitement as she held up the coin.

  'Whatya gonna wish for? To be my brother?' Kyle asked hopefully.

  'Yuck! Why would I wanna do that?' LuAnne replied.

  'I dunno.... just an idea' Kyle dejectedly answered. 'What're you gonna wish for then?'

  'I'm think 'bout teachin' Sara a lesson and makin' her our little sister!' she said.

  'YEAH! That'd be COOL! Then she'd have to do what we tell her!' Kyle said.

  LuAnne's face broke into a sly grin 'I wish Sara was our little sister and just a 'first grader''

  The two laughed and then Kyle said 'Huh uh... a Kindergarten baby!'

  LuAnne giggled 'Ooooooh hehehehe OK, I wish Sara was our little sister and that she was a
  kindergartener'

  -----

  Sara never noticed herself changing. The elegant gown that had been only slightly large on
  her seemed to be growing. Her over-done makeup looked even more over used. She had to
  scoot the seat closer to reach the makeup table. Her high heels slipped off. Freckles
  sprouted on her face. She had to strectch to reach things on the back of the table. Her hair
  shortened and thinned. Finally, a five year old who looked to be playing dress up was left
  sitting on the seat staring into the mirror. She thought the lipstick made her look pretty...so
  she applied even more!

  -----

  'I wonder if it worked?' LuAnne asked.

  'I bet it did. I always worked before!' Kyle replied.

  LuAnne giggled some more.

  'What?' Kyle asked.

  'We oughta wish to be teenagers so we can drive and stuff!'LuAnne told him.

  'COOL!' Kyle exclaimed 'Sara will really have to listen to us if we teenagers and all grown up
  and stuff!'

  'Yeah..... Bein' a teenager would be cool! OK, here we go. 'I wish me and Kyle looked like
  teenagers instead of kids! Like 16 year olds.'

  The two began to change. Both grew taller, especially LuAnne at first. The T-shirt that she
  wore begin to reveal more and more of her thighs. Kyles clothing got tighter and tighter and
  then started straining its seams. Finally, Kyle's height passed her. Her T-shirt began to fill
  out.

  When the process stopped both LuAnne and Kyle could only stare at each other.

  'Wow..... we're big' LuAnne said as she stared at Kyle's lanky body and torn clothing and
  then her own longer legs and arms.

  'Yeah....and you got boobies!' Kyle said as he pointed at the two protrusions from LuAnne's
  T-shirt.

  '~Cool~' she said as she put her hands under them.

  Both of them now looked 16 but they still retained their 7 year old minds. LuAnne had only
  wished for them to ~look~ 16.

  They were still examing themselves when the door flew open. It was Carol, Kyle and Sara's
  grandmother. 'What the hell.....' she said as she saw the two half dressed teens.

  'LuAnne? Is that you?' she said as she began to recognize the teenage girl. 'Did you wish for
  this?'

  'Uh huh....... cool huh?' she answered hopefully.

  Carol studied the two teens. 'Uhhhh Kyle?.... '

  'What?'

  'Why don't you go into the kitchen so I can talk to your mother'

  Kyle and LuAnne looked at each other with confused looks after hearing what Carol had just
  said..... 'His mother? But only his sister was here.' he thought.

  'You want me to go to?' LuAnne asked.

  'No.. I want to talk to ~you~' Carol told her wondering why she didn't understand that from
  before.

  Kyle shrugged and walked away.

  'I don't know what you were thinking wishing Kyle to be older and you younger but.....'

  'Huh uh.... we both wished to older! What are you talking about?'

  'Huh? You're son is older and.....'

  'Son? You mean my brother?'

  'OK..... I'm confused.....' Carol answered hoping for an explanation.

  'Me and Kyle wished to not look like little kids anymore 'cuz Sara was bein' mean to us! We
  used the 'wishin' coin and it did it! We'll change back after while. We're just playin...' she said
  as she suddenly felt like they might be getting into trouble.

  Carol was even more confused. Brother? Little kids...~anymore~? It finally dawned on her that
  Sara must figure into this and that Kyle and LuAnne weren't totally aware. 'We're going to
  have to fix this....'

  'SARA?!?' Carol yelled.

  'Can't we stay big just for today?' LuAnne pleaded.

  'Let me talk to Sara and we'll see if we can't get you ~big~ for even longer than that!' Carol
  told LuAnne as she awaited Sara's reply.

  Carol heard some shuffling and turned to see 5 year old Sara waddling in oversized high heels
  and a gown, face painted with makeup, walking into the room.

  'I'm pwayin' dress up, gramma!' she said happily.

  'Alright... Whoever has that coin had better give it to me now so I can wish everything back to
  normal!'

  Kyle looked at LuAnne who was grasping the coin. 'We don't wanna wish back yet' he
  pleaded.

  'I don't care what you ~want~! THIS needs to be fixed!' Carol yelled as her anger and
  frustraton grew.

  'I think she gettin' mad' Kyle told LuAnne.

  'I wish you weren't mad at us' LuAnne said.

  Carol's expression changed. 'I'm not mad at you but I'm worried.' She replied in a friendlier
  tone of voice. 'We need to get everything back to normal'

  'Maybe you can just have a wish too?' LuAnne said 'I'll wish somethin' for you too and we can
  stay this way for a while?'

  'No honey, we should just get everything back to how it was before. I just worry about you and
  everything. I worry so much right now, that's all.' Carol told LuAnne.

  LuAnne thought for a moment before speaking '....I wish you'd go back to not worryin' so
  much!'

  Carol started changing. Her matronly features were quickly replaced by a more youthful look.
  Her hair color returned and her eyes brightened. Her skin smoothed and her complexion
  improved. When it was over an 18 year old Carol stood in place of the grandmotherly figure
  from moments ago. An 18 year old who figured she had the world in front of her and knew all
  she needed to know. An 18 year old who had began to grow confident in her looks. An 18
  year old who barely had a serious worry in the world.

  'Uh oh' Kyle said 'I think you wished her back too far!'

  Carol didn't mind being 18 at all but she still wanted the rest of them to return to normal. 'I still
  think that you, like, need to change back.... ya know?' she replied as she pulled the hemline
  of her dress up higher and seemed to be contempating how she'd look in a shorter skirt.

  'Just wish that she didn't know nothin' 'bout the wishin' coin' Kyle offered.

  'I wish she didn't know nothin' 'bout the wishin' coin or have anything to do with it anymore!'
  LuAnne said, taking her 'brother's' suggestion.

  Suddenly, Carol's expression changed to one of surprise. She was young again! She didn't
  know how but her youth and looks were back! 'LuAnne, you're young too!? How?' She asked
  but didn't even wait for an answer as she dragged LuAnne to a mirror to 'see' their new
  teenaged bodies.

  'Look at us... Look at US! This is, like, soooo groovy!' She exclaimed. '...I gotta get out of
  these close she said as she kicked off her shoes and opened LuAnne's closet.

  She began tearing through LuAnne's clothing. Since it was for the middle-aged LuAnne, Carol
  didn't really find what she was looking for.....but she figured some scissors would help.
  LuAnne didn't undertand what she was so excited over as she kept talking about showing off
  her body 'like those tiny things on TV' and how she must be 'losing it'. It didn't take long
  before Carol had chopped up a pair of old jeans into short shorts and was cutting up a sweat
  shirt into a pseudo halter top.

  Meanwhile, Carol's husband John, arrived at the house.
