What do you do when you look 7 years old, but you're actually a college student in your late teens? For Kathleen's entire life, she had fought against people treating her much younger than her actual age. Feeling obligated to grow up fast to show people she wasn't the age of her size, Kathleen never let her inner child out. Tired of fighting against the world, she explores the adult submissive world. What she finds, however, is an enjoyment of regression. Had she made a mistake? Would life be better if she just let people treat her how she looks, 7 years old?

After the party, the girls and Auntie Sara piled into the car and headed to a restaurant down the road for lunch. After entering the restaurant lobby the hostess greeted them with, “Welcome to Main Street Diner, I love your princess costumes girls, two kids menus with an adult?”

Auntie Sara told her, “Yes please.”

“Please follow me, going to the Trunk ‘n Treat?”

“Yes, Ma’am, we had a Girl Scout Halloween party in the morning too,” Stacy answered the Hostess.

Smiling, she said, “Your waitress will be Steph, I hope you enjoy your meal and get lots of candy at the Trunk ‘n Treat.”

“Thank you, Ma’am,” Katie said while following Auntie’s instructions to crawl into the booth, with Stacy sitting next to her.

“Ma’am before you leave, can you bring me or have our waitress bring me at least two more of these napkins, please,” Auntie asked the hostess.

“Sure, Ma’am.”

Soon she returned with the requested napkins, while the girls were looking at their menus. Katie soon jumped when someone tucked a napkin into the neckline of her dress. Turning to look at the aisle behind her, she found Auntie doing the same thing to Stacy. After Auntie sat down again, she asked the girls, “What are you girls going to have?”

“I will have the hamburger with iced tea please, Mommie.”

“Can I please have a grilled cheese with an iced tea, Auntie,” Katie asked while flipping her menu over to color the stuff on the back.

After they had their lunch and paid, the small party decided to walk to the trunk ‘n treat a block down the street. Auntie made them stop at the trunk of the car, pulling out two personalized fabric pumpkins from it. Katie smiled and thanked her Auntie for hers, as they walked the block.

“Girls you are to stay together, and within the eyesight of me at all times. You should be no further from your best friend, that you are able to reach out and touch them always, you understand me?”

“Yes Mommie,” and “Yes, Auntie,” were the replies she received.

“Katie, how far should you be from Stacy while at the Trunk ‘n Treat?” Auntie quizzed her niece.

Katie answered, “Close enough to touch her without difficulty.”

Auntie continued with, “Stacy how far should you be from me?”

“Close enough so you can see us without difficulty, Mommie,” Stacy answered as they turned into the parking lot where the Trunk ‘n Treat was happening.

Almost immediately the girls were going from car trunk to trunk to fill their pumpkins up with candy. Katie made sure to thank everyone for the candy, occasionally lightly poking her adoptive sister to induce a thank you out of her.

Stacy took special delight in the one time she got to poke Katie to remind her to say thank you, which rewarded her with a stuck-out tongue after the thanks. Both of the girls liked the decorations in the trunks. When they got to the corner, Stacy was going to continue walking, but her friend pointed out, “Sis, if we continue walking we will get out of view of Auntie, we better wait.”

Stacy stopped walking to wait for her Mommie while Katie looked around at the various decorated trunks. One of the SUVs in the middle of the lane of cars looked very familiar, causing her to ask her best friend, “Stacy, is that my Daddie’s Blue Escalade?”

“It might be, but I don’t recognize Dorothy handing out candy in front of the trunk,” Stacy told her as they continued after Auntie caught up to them. Meanwhile, Katie was looking at Dorothy like she looked very familiar. Talking to herself out loud, she said, “Take the wig off her head, she looks like, Nah it can’t be.”

As they continued down the aisle of open trunks, Stacy pointed out “A scarecrow has shown up at the Escalade that might be your Daddie, Katie.”

“If the scarecrow is my Daddie, who is the Dorothy, she looks like someone who should be in Mountain with a wig on, Stacy,” Katie replied.

Looking back towards Dorothy as they headed to the next trunk a few cars down, it appeared that she was looking at them, and waving at them. “Did Dorothy just wave at us, Katie?” Stacy asked with a shocked tone.

“I think so, it must be her, but why is she here?”

“Who is she?” Stacy asked as they went to the car cater-corner from the Escalade.

“Allison, Kathleen’s roommate at college.”

“Oh,” Stacy said, not knowing what to say as they continued on.

Finally, they were at the Escalade, and both of them said, “Trick or Treat,” to Dorothy.

“Here you go, Katie, and Stacy,” Dorothy said while dropping a fun-size candy bar in each of the girls' pumpkins.

“Thank you, Ally,” Katie said in thanks, lightly poking her sis to get thanks out of her.

Stacy jumped and then, “Sorry, thank you, Ma’am.”

“Why or how are you here, Ally?” Katie quizzed while her Daddie was busy talking to Auntie who had caught up.

“Your big sister was supposed to be here, but she has theatre commitments today, so she asked me to do it, I am having a blast too,” Allison told her regressed roommate.

“I like your costume, Ally, if I may call you that?” Stacy told her.

“Thank you, I like it too, it is elegantly made and yes you may.”

“Did my Auntie Jill make that?” Katie asked.

Ally answered, “I am not sure, Tiff handed me the whole outfit, the red glittery shoes, and wig included,” as she handed some more candy out.

Stacy and Katie were examining the dress as they were interrupted by Daddie. He said, “If you two want to finish getting candy you better go now, I know Sara wants to make a stop at the photo area before they pack up for the day.”

They skipped away after saying, “Yes Daddie,” and “Yes, Uncle,” with giggles. Soon they were done collecting candy, so they waited for Auntie to catch up. After she caught up with them, they were led to a line that led to the area which was according to the sign a photo booth. Slowly they snaked through the line until they were next in line. Looking at the booth, she could see there were some hay bales with blankets on top of them, decorated with pumpkins, mums, ornamental grasses, and other fall items. A guy was posing the family in front of them and taking their pictures.

When it was their turn, Auntie told the guy, “The girls, together and apart, please.”

“You sure you don’t want a picture of all three of you?”

“If I must, Sir,” She said with a smile.

Soon the guy was posing the little blended family, this way, and that way, in between taking pictures. After they were done, and Auntie had picked up the proof information, they headed back to Daddie’s Car. On the way there, Katie jumped a little as her bottom was discreetly squeezed by her Auntie.

“I realize she doesn't match your theme, Adam but I am going to leave your mostly dry daughter here, while I take my daughter to the bathroom,” Auntie told Daddie.

“Stacy let me have your pumpkin, please, you too Katie,” Daddie said, holding his hand out.

After collecting both pumpkins, he placed them in the backseat of the car. Soon Stacy was back from the little girl's room, and Auntie was telling her, “You are going to stay with Uncle Adam, he will bring you to Church tomorrow, it is your father’s and mine date night, Stacy”

Rolling her eyes, Stacy asked, “My stuff is already at Uncle’s house?” Seeing a nod of affirmation, she continued with “Bye Mommie.”

“Bye Auntie,” Katie said in between handing out candies.

After the trunk ‘n treat event was over, Daddie closed the hatch and opened the three passenger doors for the girls. Katie instinctively went to the passenger side back seat, only to be beaten to it by Stacy.

“I would like to sit in Katie’s location, please,” Stacy said.

Katie just shrugged and went to the opposite side of the car, while Daddie was saying, “You sure sweetie,” to Stacy.

“Yes, Uncle,” she said as Daddie was seat belting Katie in her booster seat, and shutting the door. Soon he was helping Stacy into the car seat, “Stacy please spread your legs, so I can scrunch up your dress to get to the crotch strap,” he said as he put her arms through the shoulder straps. He paused in the middle for a quick moment to slap Katie’s hand for digging for candy in her pumpkin.

After scrunching up the dress, he finished strapping his niece into the car seat’s five-point harness. Soon they were on the road to home, with Daddie taking the chance to quiz Ally on her plans, “Are you staying overnight, or am I dropping you off at the college tonight?” he asked.

“If you will have me, and have a bed, I bought stuff for tomorrow, including Church.”

“Do you have enough so I can make one trip to Mountain, and take both of you on Monday morning?”

Allison appeared to be thinking about that, “I think I do, what are the plans for tomorrow?”

Daddies answered with “Stacy’s parents are coming for dinner after church, other than that nothing really.”

“Can I cook dinner for today and tomorrow? I like cooking, but don’t get to do it at college,” Allison asked as they turned into the driveway.

“Fine with me, I have bought a roast for tomorrow,” he said pulling into the garage.

Once they came to a stop, Katie undid her seatbelt, while Stacy was trying to figure out her harness. “Umm, Katie, how do you undo this harness?” Stacy asked.

Katie tried her car door, and finding it wouldn’t open either said, “You don’t, Daddie or Ally will have to release you with the key, and apparently I don’t get to open my door either.”

“Oh,” was all Stacy said as Ally opened the door and stuck the key in the harness, releasing the trapped girl. Meanwhile, Daddie was opening Katie’s door, and helping her out.

“The child locks have been on the doors since day one, today was the only opportunity you had to try them,” he told her as she was helped out of the car.

“If it would be helpful Sir, I will get the girls out of their costumes while you change,” Ally suggested.

“And cook dinner too? If you insist, I was just going to put them in their PJs early, Stacy’s bag is in the Parlour,” he replied.

Ally unbuttoned the girls' dresses and told them to head upstairs and to strip and remove their wigs too in the process, she would be upstairs soon to help them. With the instructions delivered, she stuck her head into the freezer to see what was available.

She walked into Katie’s bedroom after following the sound of young voices, to find Katie trying to reach a hanger in the closet, and Stacy working on removing her wig. Taking two hangers from the closet, she handed Katie one and hung Stacy’s costume up. Handing Stacy a hooded bath towel that was hanging from Katie’s door she instructed her to go use the bathroom. “Ok, little girl, time to deal with that soaked diaper on you. Lay down on the trundle bed please after I place this changing mat on it,” Ally told Katie.

As she was finishing up with Katie’s padding she asked her regressed roommate, “Who hasn’t changed your diaper?”

“Stacy, myself, mine and Stacy’s fathers, and until today my roommate,” Katie said sticking her tongue out, as Stacy returned back to the room.

“And your roommate has been looking forward to doing that to you for a while,” Ally said, causing Katie to blush fire-engine red.

Digging a one-piece footed jammies out of Katie’s drawers, and another one out of Stacy’s bag, she handed them to the girls. “Please put these on, and wait for me in the turret, while I get this costume off,” she told the girls.

After about ten minutes Ally came back to where the girls were quietly talking in the turret and started to attack Katie’s face with a wet wipe. After about three wipes she turned to clean the makeup off Stacy’s face. “Where is the bathroom, and washcloths?” she asked the girls, before leaving the room.

Ally soon returned with a damp washcloth and continued scrubbing the girls’ faces. “You two go downstairs and watch TV while I cook dinner, the chicken should be defrosted by now,” she told them as she led them out of the room.

The two girls went downstairs to find Daddie watching football on the telly in his pajamas, causing Katie to roll her eyes. She was leading her friend towards the den to watch television in there, when he said, “Katie Ann, sweetie you have mail.” He handed her a Highlights Magazine, a Disney Princesses Magazine, and an American Girl catalog, which got a smile out of both girls. The girls soon settled down to watch Nickelodeon and read highlights.

After an excellent dinner of chicken on a bed of rice, all four of them were playing a game of Trivial Pursuit - Family Edition in the dining room. Allison had just asked Stacy a green question about what fruit is dried to make raisins. After they gave the correct answer, Allison took the opportunity to ask Adam a question she had, “Adam where do you want the Dorothy costume?”

“Better ask Tiffany that question, it is hers, she made it too as far as I know. It is my understanding that she likes to make the most of her costumes. Where is it currently hanging?” he said.

“Same place Stacy’s costume is hanging, on the back of Katie’s door,” Ally continued as Katie took her turn.

“For a green wedge please answer this question; your appendix is on the right side of your body, true or false?” Stacy quizzed her best friend.

“True?” The regressed girl answered questionably.

After winning her wedge, Katie finally caught up with Stacy. Allison was winning with five wedgies, the girls had four each, and Daddie was trailing with two. Katie preferred questions from Stacy because she thought that the questions that Allison and Daddie asked her were more difficult, almost like they were asking her the adult questions.

A few questions later, Stacy had five wedges and Allison had all her wedges. Stacy was in a rush to get her six wedges before Ally made it back to the center to win the game.

“Ally, for the win, please answer which country has only one timezone - Russia, Australia, or China?” Katie quizzed her roommate.

“Australia?” Ally answered.

“Sorry that was wrong, the correct answer was, China,” Katie replied, with a suspicious look on her face, since she thought Ally answered that wrong on purpose.

“For your last wedge, Stacy please answer, how many basic positions are there in ballet?” Daddie asked Stacy.

“Five?” Stacy replied, after thinking for a bit.

“Correct, roll again,” Daddie told her, as he handed her an orange wedge.

Katie looked even more suspicious at Ally when she got her next winning question wrong too, almost as if she was trying to prolong the game to give Stacy a chance to win.

Daddie looked at the time, and said, “Someone better win this soon, it is just after nine P.M. Two girls got to be in bed in about twenty minutes.”

When the nail-biting game was finally won by Ally, Katie had five wedges, Stacy had all six and was one space from the center, and Daddie was trailing behind with three.

“Allison, the guest room next to Katie’s is made up for you, I am going to tuck the girls in,” Daddie said.

“I will gladly do that if you don’t mind,” Ally said.

“Fine with me, make sure they brush their teeth, Katie is dry, and Stacy uses the bathroom,” he instructed all three of them. “I will clean up this mess,” he continued.

After she marched them upstairs, and they did their bathroom duties, she put a dry diaper on her regressed roommate. Pulling back both covers, she waited until the girls crawled in bed and trundle bed. After tucking them in, she started to read them a picture book from the many books spread around Katie's room.
