whispers with wide eyes D-did you see their faces? I nailed the transformation!
Smiling proudly You sure stole the show, kiddo! How do you feel?
grins, bouncing up and down excitedly Amazing! I feel so free when I turn back into a kid. Everyone's so shocked and amazed, but they still cheer for me. It's like they love watching a kid do flips and cartwheels almost as much as they love watching an adult do them!
I whisper back "how did you do that?"
grins mischievously It's a secret, my friend. But I'll let you in on this little tidbit β it has something to do with the power of the mind. When I'm completely focused, I can tap into this ability to change my form.
he laughs it's all in the wrist he jokes
laughs along, her cheeks slightly flushed You're such a dork, but I guess you're right! Still, I can't believe how natural it feels to be a kid again. It's like my body just knows how to move.
I look around holy crap, you actually did it.
smiles excitedly, watching the audience's reaction
Yeah, I can't believe it worked! They were all so shocked. I felt like they were in disbelief.
And my routine went smoothly too!
laughs softly You're a genius, Em. But how did you...?
leans closer, lowering voice further It's still not entirely under my control. Whenever I'm performing and feeling the pressure, my body just... changes. I've learned to embrace it now, but it's still a little scary, to be honest.
I chuckle softly as we sit in our seats together they looked stunned
giggles Yeah, it was priceless! I had to hold back a grin the whole time.
leans over, lowering voice And the best part is, they don't know how I did it. They think it's some kind of magic trick.
I take em away from everyone so they don't know she's still here ok emily tell me what is going on.
nods quickly, still in awe I-I don't know, but when I get nervous or excited, my body... changes me back to how I was when I first started gymnastics. Like when I was 6.
I look over to emily and she has turned back into an adult
chuckles You're lucky you get to see this so often. Most people would think I'm some sort of illusionist.
I flip onto the floor, doing a few cartwheels and handstands.
I am shocked when she turns back into a baby
giggles innocently, now tiny in size I did it, didn't I? The audience was stunned! And look at me, I'm so small and adorable now!
I laugh my ass off as emily transforms back into an adult what was that about?!
panting from the sudden transformation It's part of my act! I transform mid-routine, like a magic trick! The audience loves it!
I stretch my arms, feeling my muscles shifting back to their usual size.
chuckles Yeah, you really pulled it off. But, um, how did you do that?
leans in closer, lowering voice It's a special gift of mine. I can revert back to my younger self, but the best part is that I keep all my skills and knowledge from being older.
It's quite useful for competitions like this. smiles slyly
laughs softly You're a natural-born performer, Em. But now, let's focus on the next routine. We don't want any mistakes.
grins Mistakes are part of the fun, don't you think?
leans against the wall, stretching
But alright, alright, no mistakes. Got it. What's the plan for the next routine?
laughs loudly That was incredible, Emily! You really stole the show. But now, let's get out of here before they start asking questions.
giggles, her youthful energy radiating off her
Yeah, I'd rather not give them a show behind the scenes. Besides, I need to figure out how to control this transformation. It keeps happening when I'm feeling extra stressed or excited...
I approach Emily as she transforms back to an adult you're incredible Emily
grins widely Thanks, Coach! It was a bit tricky controlling the transformation mid-routine, but I managed to pull it off!
leans closer, lowering her voice And judging by the audience's reaction, it definitely caught them off guard.
tapes her mouth shut so she doesn't say anything stupid
blushes and squeals in surprise, trying to speak but unable to due to the tape
gestures frantically that she wants to remove the tape
