After Melissa leaves, Josh tells Tom, "You can try to get your stuff back now." 45. Tom starts running around the house in search of his items. 46. He begins to feel overheated and removes his shoes and socks as he climbs the stairs. 47. Tom enters Melissa’s room and immediately spots his belongings. 48. Carefully, he steps closer, his focus entirely on his items. 49. While moving forward, he trips over something on the floor. 50. Regaining his balance, Tom looks down and notices his feet have slipped into shiny white wedding sandals. 51. The sandals are elegantly crafted with tiny pearls around the straps. 52. Suddenly, Tom feels his feet crack and age, filling the sandals perfectly. 53. His toenails darken, turning a shiny red shade. 54. Frantic, Tom tugs at the sandals, but they won't budge. 55.

His fingernails grow longer and are coated in red nail polish. 63. Only his head remains unchanged, much to his relief. 64. Managing to pull one of the sandals off, Tom halts the changes. 65. He lets out a sigh of relief, knowing the sandals were the cause. 66. But as he reaches to remove the other, his head jerks. 67. Her hair transforms into a sleek, shiny black bob. 68. Her eyes change, turning a deep, soulful brown. 69. Her ears reshape, curving gently. 70. Her lips become fuller and tinted with rose lipstick. 71. Her teeth align perfectly, giving her a radiant smile. 72. Her nose takes on a more refined shape. 73. Finally, her voice shifts, adopting Melissa’s mature tone. 74. She bends down, desperately tugging at the sandal. 75. Just as her fingers slip under the straps, Melissa's clothes drape over her. 76. A navy blue blazer, fitted white blouse, and ankle-cut dark gray pants appear on her. 77. The wedding ring and gold jewelry materialize around her body. 78. Her memories start fading, being replaced with Melissa’s. 79. She stands fully transformed, puzzled for a moment. 80. Looking down, she notices the confiscated items. 81. She chuckles softly to herself, "Really, Melissa, what were you thinking?” 82. "What is wrong with you that you decided to wear your wedding sandals today?” 83. She shakes her head, “You haven't worn these in years.” 84. "Oh well, they are mine, the same sandals I wore before giving birth to Josh.” 85. “Still remember being pregnant and the cravings that came with it." 86. "I was so naive back then. I'm much smarter and wiser now." 87. "Kids today don’t know half of what I had to know as a young mother.” 88. Spotting the confiscated items, she becomes angry. 89. "Excuse me? Why were the phone and money and toy on the floor?” 90. "I took them from Tom. He’s definitely grounded when Jeremy gets home from work!" 91. She walks over to the corner of her room and retrieves the other wedding sandal. 92. Sitting down, she slips it on her foot, ensuring a snug fit. 93. She tightens each strap meticulously, securing both sandals. 94. As she adjusts the ankle strap, she suddenly remembers something Josh promised to do. 95. "Where is he? He was supposed to clean his room!" 96. She feels a surge of frustration. 97. "I’m going to tell my husband, Jeremy, about this.” 98. Her eyes then fall on the Emma Watson button. 99. She doesn’t recognize it and chuckles smugly. 100. "Really? He has a button for his celebrity crush Emma Weston?" 101. “She’s like 17 years older than him! He’s too young to be worried about girls.” 102. “Did I say her name right? What is she known for again?” 103. Melissa guesses incorrectly, “She must be a singer or something.” 104. As she looks around the room, something feels out of place. 105. She sternly walks over to the messy bookshelf. 106. She stands with her hands on her hips, making an angry motherly pose. 107. Her eyes narrow, and her lips form a tight line. 108. Her feet are shoulder-width apart, conveying authority. 109. Her hands rest firmly on her hips. 110. Melissa’s thoughts then drift to Jeremy, her husband. 111. She recalls how attractive he was when they first met. 112. "I love him so much," she says warmly. 113. "We met in the summer of '92." 114. "We were both working at a little coffee shop." 115. "He was so kind and intelligent." 116. "I fell in love with him because of our deep conversations." 117. With a satisfied smile, she’s lost in the memories. 118. Remembering her husband always brings a sense of joy. 119. She loves the way he always understands her. 120. Even in their toughest times, love has always been constant. 121. The doorbell rings, snapping Melissa out of her daydream. 122. She makes her way to the front door. 123. Looking through the peephole, she sees it’s the neighbor. 124. She opens the door and greets her neighbor warmly. 125. Melissa exchanges a few pleasantries. 126. They chat briefly about neighborhood gossip. 127. After closing the door, Melissa walks back to her room. 128. She arranges the confiscated items properly on her dresser. 129. Her thoughts briefly flicker back to Tom and Josh. 130. "Those kids have so much growing up to do," she sighs. 131. She decides to check on Josh’s room. 132. Walking up the stairs, she thinks about how fast he is growing. 133. Reaching Josh’s room, she peers inside. 134. She spots a mess of toys and clothes everywhere. 135. “Josh!” she calls out sternly. 136. He comes running up to his room. 137. “You promised to clean this up,” she scolds. 138. Josh looks down, clearly feeling guilty. 139. “I’m sorry, Mom,” he mumbles. 140. “You’re grounded for a week,” she announces. 141. “But Mom...” he starts to protest. 142. “No buts. When Dad gets home, we’ll discuss this further.” 143. Josh sighs and starts cleaning up his mess. 144. Feeling the weight of her role as a mother, Melissa heads back down the stairs. 145. The transformation has left her mind completely erased of her identity as Tom. 146. She is now fully Melissa in thoughts and actions. 147. She goes into the kitchen to start preparing dinner. 148. Chopping vegetables, she hums a tune softly. 149. The scent of sautéing onions fills the room. 150. She prepares the family’s favorite pasta dish. 151. As the food simmers, her thoughts drift back to her earlier life. 152. She remembers the challenges she faced as a young mother. 153. But now, she feels equipped and confident. 154. Melissa finishes cooking and sets the table. 155. She calls out to Josh to wash up for dinner. 156. He obediently heads to the bathroom. 157. Melissa takes a moment to look out the window. 158. The evening sun casts a warm glow on the neighborhood. 159. As she stands there, she thinks about the love she has for her family. 160. Life may be full of unexpected changes, but she is ready to face them all.
