Growing Pains [Completed]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Urd and Genie
Content: After doing some serious spellwork to save a life, a transformed Urd tries to sneak back home without Genie seeing her.
Setting: Urd's house in zone M6.
Time: Week 21, morning
Warnings: None.

When it came to bad days, having your normally dynamite body regressed to that of a child ranked pretty high. Urd had a lot of tools in her arsenal and never had to rely on her sexiness, but she already missed the power of her curves. No one would dare laugh at her the way Timon and the others did if she'd had her real body! Well...they'd laugh, but they'd get punished for it. As it was now, she couldn't even call down a patented Urd Bolt on their heads...unless she wanted to shrink even more.

So she'd finally made her way back to the house she shared with Genie and Yorda. Walking was so tedious! And with her energy levels all over the place, Urd was wobbling on her feet as the house came into view. This was bad...very bad! She needed her alternate source of energy. She needed booze. But there was no way she'd let Genie see her like this!

Urd made her way slowly, stealthily to the front door: so far, so good. She opened the door with focused determination, quiet as a mouse. From there, it was only up the stairs, down the hall and into her room. Somewhere in her potions and ingredients, there had to be a way to reverse this! She closed the door with a quiet click behind her and tiptoed her way to the staircase, quickly looking around her at every second.

After a moment, when the flashy djinn failed to appear, she allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief. He wasn't here! She sank down on the bottom step, her legs having gone weak again. "Just a little break..." Urd whispered to herself, clutching at the draping folds of her oversized dress.

“You need to think outside the box, be creative! You’ve got a good head on your shoulders and I know you know how to use it.” Levitating down at her level he poked her gently in the head. “If you don’t think you can come up with anything you clearly rely too much on your powers. I think this would be a perfect opportunity for you to expand your mind, dude! Create new electrochemical connections between brain cells – always an exciting process. Yes, I remember the first time I established these new connections and created new thought forms but we’ll save that story for another time. Maybe this will help you make alternate decisions in the future, help you balance your power and prevent this from happening again.” He paused for a moment in thought then grinned. “Unless of course you don’t think you can. I never pegged you to be a quitter buuuut... If the Jellies fit.”

Before the goddess could reply, Genie took her hand and shared a surprisingly somber expression on his face. It must have been those puppy dog eyes she’d sent his way. “In all seriousness though, Urd, I’ll make those moon rocks as soon as I can. If it really bothers you that much I’d rather fix it now then leave you miserable. I like seeing you happy a lot more.”
