The Roots Fairy II: Indian Summer
(Part 4)
(Part 4)
by BLZBub
The morning of the reenactment was a little colder
than Sahkyo was expecting. Fortunately, there was a fur cloak she could
put on that didn’t clash with the western motif. Sahkyo was a bit
skeptical about the reenactment thing. To her,
it sounded more like a grown-up game of ‘Cowboys and Indians’. However,
this reenactment promised to be a lot more historically-accurate than
the games little kids would play in their backyards. She hadn’t
overlooked the irony that she herself used to be a
kid not too long ago. While she had the knowledge and instincts of a
grown woman, she hoped she’d be able to use her child’s insight to enjoy
this more.
Though there was one thing that Sahkyo immediately
liked about this reenactment. Many Mustangs had been brought in to be a
part of this. Even before she had been aged up, Sahkyo admired Mustangs.
They were such beautiful horses. Granted,
they didn’t seem as interesting as her various electronics, but now she
could feel a deeper connection with them. The horses seemed to like her
as well. Maybe this was a side effect of her being practically a
walking tech-bane. But Sahkyo was glad she was
able to ride these horses.
However, her role in the reenactment was not going
to be an easy one. She was one of several women who had been captured by
trappers. While she knew no one meant any true harm, Sahkyo could
easily imagine how frightened the Navajo women
would have been in this situation. It didn’t help that the prospective
buyers were hooting and catcalling in a manner that would make a woman
very uncomfortable.
Fortunately for Sahkyo, the man who did ‘purchase’
her was far more empathic than the others. Though Sahkyo knew this was a
play, she found it pretty easy to slip into the role of a woman
becoming fond of this man. It helped that he looked
pretty cute and he had a sweet nature. Though Sahkyo had to remind
herself that she couldn’t get too attached. She would only be a woman
until the end of the month. She couldn’t get into a relationship if she
was going to revert back into a little girl. Still,
Sahkyo had a lot of fun with this reenactment. It turned out the Navajo
didn’t live such boring lives after all.
Almost too soon, the last day of her vacation was
upon her. Sahkyo had gotten rather attached to her adult form and was
sad to see it go. But still, she’d glad to be able to have fun as a kid
again. It’ll also be easier to talk with her
family. Throughout this vacation, she was completely unsure about where
she was on the family tree. Talking to her parents as an equal was
enjoyable, but she missed the comfort of them being her actual parents.
And of course, she had a strong urge to get in
touch with electronics again, though not as strong as it was at the
start of the vacation.
When the Roots Fairy appeared, Sahkyo was nervous but ready. “So, did you have fun on your vacation?” asked the Fairy.
“Well, I wasn’t sure I would, but yeah, I actually did,” said Sahkyo, “I kinda wish it could last longer.”
“Sadly, all vacations must come to an end,” said the Roots Fairy, “But you’ll have that body again in time.”
“Only I won’t be this good-looking the real time around,” said Sahkyo, putting her hands on her hip.
“Well, I have a bit of a confession to make,” said
the Roots Fairy, “I barely had to change you beyond your age. You
already had such thick Navajo blood in you.”
“So I really will get this body when I grow up?” asked Sahkyo.
“If you keep yourself healthy, you should,” said the fairy, “But now it’s time to give up.”
Sahkyo felt a tingle go through her body as she
started to shrink. She could feel her limbs getting shorter and her face
becoming rounder. She was particularly sad to feel her breasts and butt
deflate into nothing. Fortunately, her clothing
adjusted with her shrinking. Before long, she was back to being Shauna
again. “It was fun while it lasted,” she said, not used to hearing her
old voice again.
“Your memories will last. And don’t worry about everyone else. They’ll remember something completely different,” said the fairy.
“Will I see you again?” asked Shauna.
“Probably not. I appear to children who need to get
in touch with their roots and I think you are quite comfortable with
your own,” said the fairy.
Shauna thought it over. The Navajo way wasn’t quite
modern, but it was still enjoyable in its own way. “Yeah, I guess so,”
said Shauna.
“Farewell Shauna,” said the Roots Fairy before disappearing, off to help more kids around the world.
Another excellent entry!
