[AVP, And the world was kind enough to lock this from Vermouth for her/backdated to this morning]

[grey_grief]

[It's early morning, and the rising sun is peeking through the lone window in the bedroom. The camera soon focuses on the... surprisingly large lump under the covers. All that can really be seen are a head of tea colored hair and a small blond colored teddy bear. A few minutes pass before the lump stirs and a head pops up, hair thoroughly mussed. The head shakes and the covers are pushed back. She swings her feet down to the floor, not noticing that they touch the floor a little sooner than usual. She stands and wanders over to her desk, still half asleep.

Suddenly she looks up and catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror.]

...What the hell?!

[Yes everyone, Haibara's been age progressed back to her normal self! And the poor girl's in a cautious sort of shock.]

IC EDIT, ADDED AFTER HER DISCUSSION WITH KID:

[Locked to Hakuba/Unhackable/Text]

Cousin Saguru... I need to talk to you. Can I come over?

Comments

You're... you're grown-up...

[smiles] I knew you'd become a lovely young woman.

[grey_grief]

Like I said, I just got taller. But thank you all the same.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

You definitely get your good looks from Hakuba's side of the family. The resemblance is even more apparent than it was before.

How old are you supposed to be, anyway? Twenty or so?

[grey_grief]

...Thank you. [Well that was a new one]

I think eighteen or thereabouts.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Hm... So about a ten year increase in age.

What's it like? Being suddenly older? Feel any different?

[grey_grief]

Other than getting used to the longer limbs and extra height, not that much different.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Do you have some clothes to wear? I'd offer to let you borrow some of mine, but I imagine you're a great deal taller than myself...

[grey_grief]

I think I have something, I'll have to check. If I don't I'll just borrow something from Cousin Saguru.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Why would you have women's clothes lying around?

Well, since you're used to wearing more boyish attire, I think you'd look good in some of Hakuba's dress shirts and slacks.

[grey_grief]

...Akemi-nee's.

Probably, though I think he's taller than me. I'd have to cuff the pants.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

...oh.

I have to do that with my school uniform pants. About three inches of cuff has to be rolled up.

[grey_grief]

...yeah.

I don't think he's much taller than me. Why don't you get them hemmed? And how short are you anyway?

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

You must be rather tall for a girl, then.

Well... at my last physical, I measured out at exactly five feet. I wear shoes with two inch heels in order to make myself look taller...

[grey_grief]

I think he's just short.

That's not so bad. Average, actually. At your age I think you have two more left.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose everyone is tall compared to me...

Average for a Japanese woman, I suppose.

[grey_grief]

That's actually average for a good chunk of Western women as well. You'll probably get them, you're young enough.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

My great-great-grandmother was actually quite tall, even for a Western woman! Five-foot-eight, actually!
