Back in 5
You stare at the sign in horror as you approach the shop. There are a few people milling around the entrance to the shop. It was an open air center so there was nothing shielding you from prying eyes. You turn tail and start walking back to your car. You hear from behind you one of the people gasp. Noticing your different features.
You turn to look and notice an older woman staring back and you and pointing to a younger looking man who looked kind of handsome. You immediately kick that thought out of your head. Men can't be handsome, guys are guys and ladies are hot, you reaffirm to yourself, my body be damned.
The fear of being discovered by strangers chased you back to your car. The pavement hot on your pads. You lock yourself in your car and wait for the store to open. After a few minutes you can see the sign change and people start entering the shop.
You sigh waiting for the people to leave and seeing no one come out after another fifteen minutes you give up and head inside. You bolt across the parking lot your lighter form allowing your more speed and throw open the door to the shop. Inside there is no one there aside from the old wizard.
"Wha... What happened to all of the other customers?" You ask.
"Oh, we operate on a one on one basis via interdimensional portals. It helps with customer retention, I am sure you can understand." He says plainly. Your brain refuses to accept what was said and instead hold out the hairbrush to him. He takes it and looks it over and then says. "I am sure I can find something on here that will work."
"Alright... how long will it take to turn me back?"
"No more than a few days sweetie. Now if you don't mind we have another complaint coming in that I have to deal with."
You turn back to the empty shop and sigh, hopefully you can last a few days like this without anyone else discovering anything.
You head home to find...
