26. Henry, born on June 2nd, 1960, would have been 63 today.
27. On this particular Saturday, Emily allowed Oliver to go to the nearby salon by himself for the first time.
28. She trusted him enough to let him have this adventure under the supervision of the familiar salon staff.
29. Oliver wore his favorite superhero t-shirt and jeans.
30. He proudly sported his light-up shoes that flashed with every step.
31. As Oliver entered the salon, he noticed one woman working there.
32. Her name was Mrs. Nguyen, and she hailed from Vietnam.
33. Mrs. Nguyen was older than anyone in Oliver's family, including his grandpa Henry.
34. She was 70 years old, born on December 11th, 1952.
35. Standing at a mere 4 feet 11 inches tall, Mrs. Nguyen was quite short.

37. Her dark, straight hair was styled in a simple bob.
38. Mrs. Nguyen had kind, almond-shaped brown eyes.
39. She wore a small jacket over a traditional Vietnamese blouse known as an "áo dài."
40. The jacket was adorned with intricate floral embroidery in shades of gold and red.
41. The blouse was white silk, decorated with delicate hand-stitched patterns of blossoms and vines.
42. Her very short shorts were a vivid shade of blue, frayed at the edges.
43. Mrs. Nguyen wore platform sandals that were silver with glitter, elevating her a good five inches off the ground.

45. The woman's nails were painted a dazzling red, matching on both fingernails and toenails.
46. She also wore seven pieces of jewelry which included her wedding ring, a gold bracelet, a jade bangle, two delicate gold necklaces, and two sparkling diamond studs.
47. As Oliver entered, Mrs. Nguyen smiled warmly and said, "Hello! Have a seat any chair. I be right back to grab somethin' for your haircut."
48. Oliver watched her leave the room, her platform sandals kicked off at the door.
49. Curious and fascinated, Oliver kicked off his shoes and socks.
50. He wiggled his toes and walked over to the platform sandals.
51. Innocent curiosity got the best of him, and he slipped his small feet into the shoes.
52. He let out a soft giggle and began to goofily stomp around in the oversized sandals.
53. Suddenly, Oliver felt a strange sensation in his feet.
54. They began to crack and age, giving him a strange kind of pain.
55. His toenails grew and became painted in gleaming red polish.
56. He now stood in front of a nearby mirror with nails that matched the woman's.
57. Oliver looked both confused and worried, trying desperately to remove the platform sandals but unable to.
58. A strange thought popped into his brain, and he blurted out, "I finally get body back," before clamping his mouth shut.
59. As he stood there bewildered, the woman's jewelry appeared on the counter nearby.
60. Oliver's shoes and socks disappeared in a puff of smoke.
61. He desperately tried to remove the platform sandals as his legs began to change.
62. They feminized and matured.
63. A pair of panties, blue like Mrs. Nguyen’s, was the first to form.
64. The short shorts, frayed at the edges, covered them next.
65. His body felt different, more grown-up.
66. As Oliver's torso and chest feminized and aged, he panicked.
67. A bra began to form, fitting snugly.
68. The small, intricately embroidered jacket covered his shoulders.
69. The elegant white blouse formed underneath.
70. Oliver's arms and hands followed suit; they slenderized and aged.
71. His nails mirrored the red polish of Mrs. Nguyen.
72. Finally, Oliver's head, hair, and face started to transform.
73. The process began with his hair, which grew longer and framed his face.
74. His forehead narrowed.
75. His eyebrows thinned and reshaped.
76. His eyes got wider, more almond-shaped.
77. His nose shrunk to suit his feminine face.

82. His jawline tapered delicately.
83. Oliver's ears adjusted size and shape.
84. His neck elongated smoothly.
85. His cheeks took on a slight pinkish hue.
86. His smile was now the same welcoming gesture as Mrs. Nguyen’s.
87. Oliver covered his mouth again as he said, “Almost done, I woman now.”
88. Even his voice and accent shifted; he said, “How I gonna miss mommy and auntie and grandma. I no wanna be older than grandma,” in very broken English.
89. All the jewelry flew onto his body, each piece in its proper place.
90. The new Mrs. Nguyen walked over to the mirror, her reflection now matching her entirely.
91. She looked down at her hands with the painted nails, they were hers now.
92. Her hair was much longer with bangs gracefully touching her forehead.
93. She looked down at the silver platform sandals on her feet.
94. In broken English, she exclaimed, “I wanna go home.”
95. Her memories shifted and matured until she only remembered being Mrs. Nguyen.
96. She jerked her head and smiled, realizing her speech was wrong.
97. She said, “Home? I not at home. I at work. No, you dummy, I __ year old. Why I freak out over shoe tower on feet? They my shoe. I had pair for over 3__ year.”
98. She adjusted her clothing, becoming comfortable in her transformed state.
99. She looked around, spotting a notebook on the counter.
100. She saw the name Oliver Johnson in it but didn’t recognize it.
101. She realized that name belonged to a 6-year-old boy.
102. Standing back up, she began looking for where the boy had gone, concern furrowing her brow.
103. She called out, “Young man, where you go?”
104. Just then, the salon door chimed open and in walked Oliver’s mom, Emily.
105. Emily looked around, wondering if her son was done with his haircut.
106. Mrs. Nguyen, still adjusting, explained in broken English, “I no find boy anywhere.”
107. Emily's face turned red with anger. "What do you mean you can’t find him?"
108. "How old are you, and how long have you owned this salon?" Emily demanded.
109. Mrs. Nguyen replied, “I __ year old. I own salon for over __ years. Very long time.”
110. Emily was furious. “If my son is missing, I’ll be taking you to court. You’ll lose your precious salon. You’re over __ years older than me, you should know better. Do you have any kids of your own?”
111. “Yes, two daughters. Both grown now. One __ year old and one __ year old. I sorry,” Mrs. Nguyen responded quite earnestly.
112. Emily frantically looked around the salon, unable to spot Oliver’s light-up shoes.
113. Her voice choked with worry, she said, "Where could he have gone?"
114. Mrs. Nguyen felt confused and overly apologetic, saying repeatedly, "I sorry. I no know where boy go."
115. Emily pulled her phone out, ready to call the police.
116. She dialed, her hands shaking.
117. "911, what is your emergency?" came the calm voice on the other end.
118. "My son is missing! He was last at the salon nearby, and he's just disappeared," Emily said, panic lacing her voice.
119. The dispatcher assured her that help was on the way.
120. Mrs. Nguyen felt a strange sense of guilt though she couldn't fathom how she should be responsible.
121. Emily, now utterly distraught, continued searching the corners of the salon.
122. The minutes felt like hours waiting for the authorities to arrive.
123. Suddenly, a little jingling sound filled the air – it was the jingle of the store’s door opening.
124. The police entered, their presence bringing a mix of hope and dread.
125. Mrs. Nguyen tried her best to explain, “Boy came in; I go backroom; I out, boy gone!”
126. The officers began their search, asking questions and noting details.
127. They spread out, checking around the neighborhood.
128. Emily felt a pang in her heart, wondering where her Oliver could have run off to.
129. She worried about every horrible possibility.
130. Mrs. Nguyen stood quietly, in a silent prayer.
131. Nothing felt right.
132. An hour later, no signs of the boy were found in the immediate area.
133. The police assured Emily they would keep searching.
134. Emily felt helpless, clutching the picture of Oliver tighter.

136. Something about the name Oliver Johnson lingered.
137. She heard old whispers in her mind.
138. The deputies continued exploring the salon for clues.

141. She remembered stories about magic, transformations.
142. Something about the way Mrs. Nguyen looked at that notebook.
143. Emily walked over, looked at the platform sandals sitting askew.
144. “Those sandals weren’t there earlier,” she whispered.
145. The gears in her head started turning.
146. Mrs. Nguyen observed, something tugging at her memories.
147. She absentmindedly scrawled on a notepad—Oliver.
148. Emily grabbed the notepad; the name written deftly.
149. Mrs. Nguyen focused, her face in anguish as she tried to remember.
150. "Mrs. Nguyen," Emily said firmly, "Do you believe in magic?"
151. Mrs. Nguyen felt a twang in herself, understanding dawning slowly.
152. Looking down at her platform sandals, pieces fell together.
153. “What if these sandals…” Emily started.
154. Suddenly, Mrs. Nguyen doubled over.
155. Her mind bombarded with memories of another lifetime.
156. “Oliver,” she said softly, tracing the name with her finger.
157. Each trace was like recollecting an old forgotten past.

165. “Oliver?” Emily’s voice cracked.

168. The magic of the world unfolded.
169. A shimmer shrouded Mrs. Nguyen.
170. She morphed back into Oliver’s younger self.
171. Mumbling, “I no wanna leave you.”
172. Emily cradled him, magic swirling.
173. “You’re home. That’s all that matters.”
174. Cops bemused, sorting the inexplicable.
175. Mother and son reunited under the blanket of enchantment.
