Elvira and the witches kids

Part 9

Interlude

Elvira Peterson and her best friend Mindy McConnell have just been freed from Uncle Frank's tickling machine. Uncle Frank, an invisible fellow who loves to tickle, had been practicing his musical tickling and had just finished the 1812 overture when he was teleported away. Moments later Jeremy and Helga Carrion appear in the room, Jeremy explained that he had a new teleporter that whisked Uncle Frank away. He picks up a now miniaturized Elvira (when tickled into an orgasm Elvira shrinks) and puts her on the edge of the bed while Helga has frees Mindy. Helga then hands Mindy a drink.

"Here." Helga said, handing Mindy a glass. "You must be thirsty after all that laughing."
"Thanks." Mindy said, taking the glass.
"Your no smaller." Jeremy observed, looking at Elvira closely.
"No." Elvira replied. She still had the same body, small breast, wide hips, brown hair. There was something wrong though, something... For a few moments her mind refused to work. Then she saw Mindy's throat move as she swallowed the drink.
"Mindy no!" she shouted.
"Huh?" her friend finished the glass and handed it to Helga. "What do you..."
Her voice faltered and a strange look came over her face. Mindy's body trembled as the potion took hold. For a moment her body glowed violet, then she started to shrink. Elvira had never watched anyone shrink, but after being shrunk many times herself she could guess what Mindy was going through. First you get hot, then suddenly chilly. Then your cloths (if your wearing any) get loose. The cloths get looser and suddenly a lot heavier. Without warning your thrust inside a circus tent that's collapsing.
Then it's over and you feel light headed.
"Help!" Mindy's voice, normally calm and even, now high pitched and hysterical penetrated her cloths. The flowered skirt she was wearing showed her progress as she plowed her way to the waist.
When she burst out of the skirt Mindy kept on going. Elvira watched in complete amazement as her friend flew straight up using brand new wings. Mindy was normally a tall blonde with a great figure, now she still had the figure, but it was a lot smaller. Wings beating furiously, blonde hair scattering in the wind like lightning Mindy flew straight up.
And up, and up and up. Only the ceiling stopped the newly born fairy. With a sickening thud she slammed into it, then spiraled down.
"I got her!" Jeremy shouted, jumping on the bed.
"No I got her!" Helga shouted, also jumping on the bed. "She's my experiment!" Elvira gave a shout of her own as she desperately tried to get off the bed before either of the twins stepped or fell on her.
Running across a bed when your only a few inches tall is like running across a trampoline. She almost made it to the relative safety of the pillows when Mindy's scream caused her to look back. Elvira half turned in time to see Mindy miss Jeremy and Helga altogether and come straight toward her. At the last second Elvira braced herself, her toes digging into the sheets. Waving her arms frantically Mindy hit her friend in the stomach. The mutated girls momentum picked Elvira up and pushed her over the edge of the bed. Elvira tried to hang on while they fell, but lost her grip. She landed on a pillow that had been knocked onto the floor. A second later Mindy landed on top of her.
"Good tackle." Elvira muttered, trying to get her breath back.
"Good catch." Jeremy remarked as he picked up the pillow and put it on the bed.
Growling Elvira rolled her friend off of her and struggled to her feet.
"Helga what the hell did you give her?"
"My sorcery project, the one from the lab."
"Why?" Elvira nearly shrieked.
"Well Jeremy experimented on you." Helga said, as if that explained everything.
Elvira took a deep breath, sputtered for a moment and then took another one.
"So?" she finally asked.
"Well it was my turn."
Mindy moaned as she sat up, distracting Elvira from the string of profanities she was about to launch.
"I had to test it on Someone."
"El....?"
"Calm down." Elvira said, helping her sit up.
"Why, what...?"
Mindy trailed off as she looked around, her eyes taking it all in. Slowly she stood.
"Welcome to my world."
"I'm shrunk?"
"Your not just shrunk." Helga said, bending down to look at her. "My potion caused a full body change complete with natural flying instinct."
"Flying?" Mindy asked. Her wings vibrated as she spoke. Dumbfounded the young girl looked at the dragonfly type wings, then raised them, then lowered them again. She looked at her hands, and for the first time Elvira realized that both Mindy's hands and feet had been changed as well. The fingers and toes were each longer now and each had more joints than before.
"You should also have some sort of radar for nightflying." Helga said. "But I guess the antenna grow back later."
"Antenai." Jeremy corrected her.
"They were for extra credit."
"Wow." Mindy said, flapping her wings. Slowly she rose into the air and hovered. "This is so cool!"
"Whoa girl." Elvira said, grabbing Mindy's legs she pulled her friend down to the pillow. Another thing she noted was that Mindy's breast, though still large, didn't flop around as they used too. "Come down to Earth for a minute. Don't you realize that to every spider on the planet your a full course dinner? A banquet even!"
"I'm not dumb enough to get caught in a web." Mindy said, ascending again. She started to fly around the room. "El this is great!"
"Oh yea. Whoopee."
For the next few minutes Elvira, Jeremy and Helga watched as Mind tested out her new wings. Elvira tried to control her jealousy, remembering how she had had to run, climb and scamper when she had first been shrunk. But then Mindy was the one who watched Babylon 5, read fantasy and generally liked that sort of thing. Mindy had always told Elvira that her fondest wish was to get abducted by aliens. Again.
"Good control." Jeremy said.
"I worked on it a lot, didn't want her crashing into a fan or something."
"Great." Elvira said, sitting down on the pillow. "She's a A and I'm a D +."
"She was exposed to the correct dosage," Jeremy said, a hurt tone in his voice, "not an unstable potion."
"Sorry." Elvira said.
Mindy let out a low moan and suddenly came down in a strong spiral, crashing into the pillow, a pained look on her face.
"They hurt." she said. "My wings hurt!"
"You flew too hard." Helga said. "They are only a few minutes old you know."
"But my breast hurt too." the girl said, hugging her chest.
"Well I had to put the muscles for your wings somewhere." Mindy's jaw dropped and she slowly felt her breast, her fingers kneading them. Then she looked in amazement at her new fingers. "Most of your internal organs were indispensable, but your breast were pretty much wasted space."
"Clever." Jeremy said. "Did you strengthen the rib cage as well?"
"Redesigned it completely." Helga said.
"What did you do to me?" Mindy screamed, she would have charged them if Elvira hadn't held her back.
"You seemed happy a moment ago." Jeremy said.
"Yea... Well..."
"Enough!" Elvira said, her voice silencing them all. "Ok Helga you've got an A on the project. Now where's the antidote?"
Helga's reply was not unexpected on Elvira's part, but it caused Mindy to faint.
"What antidote?"

"Strange girl." Jeremy said, putting Mindy down on the table beside Elvira. They were in the lab, Mindy still out cold. "Does she faint often?"
"Only when she gets mutated."
"The proper word is transformed." Helga said, opening a notebook.
"Sorry." Elvira sighed, wondering how many other babysitters went through this sort of thing. At her feet Mindy moaned. "Get some water huh guys."
"Goaltender interference!" Mindy cursed, slowly opening her eyes. It was what she usually said after a bad game, or if she was feeling lousy. Once she had yelled it at a geometry teacher after he gave her a failing grade. In the next instant her eyes opened wide.
"Like I said before, welcome to my world."
"Funny." Mindy said, standing up. She looked around. The lab was in one of the basements of the Carrion Mansion. Elvira suspected it had once been a dungeon, even though turn of the century Victorian mansions didn't have dungeons. Large stone blocks held up a vaulted ceiling. The room was lit by harsh fluorescent worklights, making the shadows gray, yet still deep and threatening. Tables with bubbling chemicals or strange looking scientific instruments filled the room.
"Aren't there any cloths in your world?" Mindy asked, covering herself as best she could with her hands. She jumped as her wings folded around from her back. Instantly the wings snapped back to their normal position.
"Here you go." Jeremy said, putting a glass of water in front of them. The glass was normal sized.
"Cute." Elvira said.
"What am I supposed to do, bathe in it?" Mindy asked.
"Your not handling this well." Jeremy said. "Elvira was a lot calmer."
"I'd been softened up by the magic feather." Elvira said, leaning against a large book."
"Elvira don't joke." Mindy demanded. "I hate it when you joke in these situations. Bad enough that you get me tickled for hours, then..."
"I got you tickled? Me?"
"You could have warned me about this place."
"I did warn you!"
"Excuse me." Helga asked coming over to them, notebook in hand. She had thrown a lab coat over her jumper. Jeremy shrugged and walked away.
"Like hell you warned me!" Mindy shouted. "All you said was: "their weird"."
"Excuse me." Helga asked again.
"Nowhere in your statement were the words:"shrink", with each word Mindy started to poke her friend, "tickle" poke "mutate", she spread both her arms wide "or naked!"
"I told you." Elvira said, poking her back. "I said: "Dangerous" poke "insane" poke "chest happy!" with the last word she hit both of Mindy's breast with her palms.
With an enraged growl the two shrunken girls charged each other, only to be picked up by Helga and dropped into the glass of water. They sank, then climbed sputtering to the surface, glaring at her.
"Do you two really think that fighting is constructive?"
"Shut up and give me the antidote." Mindy snapped, climbing out of the glass. Elvira stayed in, resting her arms on the side.
Some things, she reflected silently, Mindy would just have to learn for herself.
With a hurt look on her face Helga turned and stomped away from the table.
"What's with her?" Mindy asked.
"You shouted at her." Elvira said.
"I shouted at her? She turns me into Tinkerbelle and I don't get to shout at her?"
"Not as long as she has the antidote and you don't." Elvira leaned back and put her hands behind her head. "Didn't calling Uncle Frank names teach you anything?"
"Your enjoying this aren't you?"
"Yea." As a matter of fact she was. Elvira wasn't sure why, but for some reason having her best friend shrunk as well made her own predicament more acceptable. "It's nice to know I'm not the only one they can mutate."
"Transform." Helga called over to them.
"Whatever. Hey Jeremy." Elvira called. "How about a towel?"
"I have more than that." Jeremy said. Walking over to the table he reached down and pulled out a bag. "When we learned that you were coming Mother insisted I buy you this just in case." Reaching into the bag he pulled out a Malibu Stacy outfit. "I picked this up at a yard sale."
"The seventies live." Elvira said, crawling out of the glass. The outfit was the right height, but the style evoked images of Marcia Brady. White blouse with puffy long sleeves, short skirt with wide white leather belt and white go-go boots. Still it was something. Jeremy put a dry washcloth on the table and watched as the babysitter dried herself.
"It doesn't bother you that he's watching?" Mindy asked, exasperation creeping into her voice. She had crossed her arms infront of her chest.
"You get shrunk and stripped enough times you get used to it." Elvira replied, struggling into the skirt. There was no underwear, but she could live with that. "Besides he's staring at you."
"She's right." Jeremy said. "Your form is far more pleasing."
"Creep." Mindy started to say, but bit the word off quickly. Instead she felt herself blushing and suddenly her wings wrapped around and covered her. This time they stayed. "Do you have any more outfits?" "Sorry but I didn't know you were coming. I only bought that one for Elvira because Mother reminded me how loudly she complained about not having cloths the last time. I suppose you can have them when she grows again."
"I don't want to wait until morning."
"Oh, it shouldn't take her that long." A beeping noise from the computer called for his attention and Jeremy walked over to it.
"What did he mean by that?"
"It's kinda embarrassing." Elvira said, at last getting the go-go boots on.
"When I babysat for Polly she said the effect of the shrinking potion wears off after a few hours."
"Yea, well I lied to her." Elvira was silent for a few moments, her face turning scarlet. Finally she spoke, stumbling over the words. "If I get tickled really hard I get an orgasm and shrink. The only way to get big again is have another orgasm."
"So she has to masturbate her way to full size." Helga said, standing over them with a clip board. She put a ruler next to the stunned Mindy.
"You mean if you want to grow..."
"I've got to make myself very, very happy." Elvira snapped.
"Do I have too..."
"Ask her."
"Helga." Mindy asked in her sweetest voice. "Do I have to... do what Elvira does to get to full size again?" Helga shrugged.
"It's not something I planned on, but if you want you can give it a try."
She made a note on the clipboard and walked away.
"I have it!" Jeremy announced.
"The cure?" Elvira asked hopefully.
"No, the reason." Jeremy walked over and picked up her up, carrying her to the console. Intrigued Mindy flew after them. On the screen was a dizzying myriad of scientific equations. "This makes it simple."
"Clear as glass." Elvira agreed. "Explain it to Mindy though, will ya."
Mindy gave Elvira a dirty look as she landed beside her.
"Well my original nanite design was perfect, but I included an organic neural processor so they could link and feed each other data. That way there would be no uneven growth or shrinking. I didn't want your arm to stay normal size while the rest of you shrunk."
Elvira shuddered. Jeremy meanwhile hit a few of the keys and the image changed from equations to a diagram of the nanite. A small evil looking spider-like machine with the letter "J" on it's back.
"But the organic part of the unstable shrinking potion, I think it was probably the bat livers..."
"I soaked in bat livers?"
"Among other things. At any rate the shrinking potion mutated the nanites, causing them to link into your sexual pleasure center."
"Why there?" Mindy asked.
"Well another one of the ingredients..."
"Never mind." Elvira interrupted. "Get to the cure part."
"I think I can introduce another set of nanites into your body to fix the broken ones."
"More nanites?" Elvira said.
"It is the only way."
"Ok." Elvira said abruptly.
"Your gonna let him try?"
"Mindy I have to get this under control. Sooner or later some kids gonna tickle me and I won't make it back before the parents get home. Then where will I be?"
"Where will you be?" Mindy asked. "Where will WE be?"
"Your starting to get the idea aren't you?"
"If they can't get me back to normal..."
"They can do it." Elvira said. She started to put her arm around Mindy's shoulders, but stopped as the wings got in the way, and settle for patting her friend on the shoulder. "Trust me, this is what they do."
"Alright." Jeremy picked Elvira up and put her in the center of a large platform. "I'll use the teleporter to get one of the nanites out of you for a moment, then I can scan it and program the repair nanite."
"Why not just teleport them all out of me?"
"There are approximately 85000 in your system. Too many for the machine to handle."
"85000. Swell. Good thing I don't go through metal detectors that often."
"They are not made of metal. Helga, your assistance please?"
"What about my cure?" Mindy protested.
"I sent an email to my professor." Helga said, walking over to them. "He'll get back to me."
"Activating targeting system." Jeremy said, pushing a button.
"Sub-space field ok." Helga said, operating another part of the console. Mindy flew up quickly to avoid them. This is like being in a dentist chair waiting for the novacain, Elvira thought. She waited tensely for the pain to start, wondering if the nanite they were going for might rebel at the last minute and explode.
"Targeting locked." Jeremy said. "Teleporting."
Elvira felt her body start to tingle, reminding her of the time she'd been stuck in quicksand.
"Trouble." Helga said.
Elvira's heart dropped into her stomach, if there was one word she didn't want to hear...
"Interference in the carrier wave." Jeremy said. He didn't sound worried, but the babysitter knew that when Jeremy didn't sound worried it was time for HER to worry.
Elvira desperately tried to move or shout but her body stayed frozen. The tingling got worse quickly. The room around her started to fade in and out like an old movie. She could see Helga and Jeremy now desperately working on the controls. For a moment the lab snapped back to normal, then it vanished altogether.


Where has Elvira gone? Is she still in one piece? Will Mindy ever loose her wings? If not will she have to wear a halter for the rest of her life?

Some of these questions might be answered in the next chapter.
