In the small suburban neighborhood, seven-year-old Jonathan trotted happily down the sidewalk, a sense of pride swelling in his chest. It was the first time his 21-year-old mother allowed him to venture out alone, and he relished the freedom. The sky overhead gradually transitioned from a deep azure to the rich hues of twilight.
Jonathan felt a twinge of nervous excitement as he trekked further along unfamiliar streets. The first sign of his growing fear appeared when he stumbled upon a pair of skimpy, barely-there sandals lying haphazardly on the sidewalk. Their shiny turquoise straps shimmered under the fading light, and the soles sparkled with tiny rhinestones. No one had to tell him—their design screamed "girly" to him.
"Ew," Jonathan groaned, making a face. "Too girly."
Determined to sidestep the offending footwear, he made a wide arc around them but tripped over a raised edge of the sidewalk. His sneakers and socks flew off in the kerfuffle, and without warning, he landed stumble-soft into the gaudy sandals, which snugly enclosed his feet. As soon as they did, something uncanny and irreversible began to happen.
His young feet started to age, the skin cracking and turning a deeper brown shade. Bright crimson nail polish appeared, glistening like fresh paint under the glow of the streetlights flickering on. Jonathan shrieked in horror and tried to scrape the polish off, but his legs were already elongating and reshaping into something unfamiliar, something feminine. His body followed suit, gradually transforming.
He felt every sinew stretch and redefine, his once small frame gaining height and curves. His hair, once a simple tousled brown, morphed into vibrant black coils styled into a stunning updo with side-swept edges. His eyes deepened to a rich chocolate brown; his lips filled and plumped into a lush cupid's bow. The changes cascaded rapidly, drenched in a terrifying beauty.
A skimpy cobalt blue dress with intricate silver designs clung to her newly-formed curves. Jonathan—no longer a small boy but an elegant woman—eyed the purse that materialized beside her, a chic leather ensemble complete with gold accents. Inside were an array of cosmetics: foundation matching her new skin tone, a compact mirror, and a vivid red lipstick.
Disoriented but instinctively filled with sassy confidence, she caught sight of her reflection in a storefront window. "Baby, you are lookin' FIERCE!" she declared loudly. "Mmm, those curves, that hair, and oh, those luscious lips!"
She couldn’t resist a strut to the mirror, posing with her hand on her hip and blowing herself a kiss. "Girl, you are a QUEEN!"
As she sat down, crossing her legs, admiring her perfectly painted toes, she felt satisfaction wash over her.
Rummaging through her purse, she added a pair of large hoop earrings and a daringly bold choker to complete her look. However, as nightfall crept in more profoundly, a sudden fear of the dark unsettled her.
"Oh hell no, Angie, you gotta pull yourself together," she whispered, with a veneer of nerves.
"Okay, Angie, remember who you are," she said aloud, feverishly fighting off panic. "You are twenty-eight, born July 14, 1995, from sunny California. This dress? Honey, it's the color of power—blue. And these nails? Red hot, just like you. You got this, girl!"
Then, with a hint of irritation, she snarled, "My daughter Tiffany—she's 5—always borrows my stuff without asking. Even these sandals! Girl, you ain't old enough for these; these are for grown-up nights. Focus on your dolls or something."
Continuing her self-admiration, she added a stylish bracelet from her purse, slipping it onto her wrist like a queen donning her crown. She gazed fondly at the skimpy sandals, patting her purse lovingly.
"I got these beauties from my best friend, Denise. Girl, I love her," Angie declared, her voice imbued with affection and nostalgia. "I can't wait to drink some margaritas tonight and meet up with my sistas, Sheila and Tanya, and tease a couple fine niggas."
With each word, every action punctuated by confidence, Angie stood with an elegance and allure that had no trace of a scared seven-year-old boy anymore, only a strong, sassy woman ready to take on the night.
