A step to far, Chapter three
               By J.S doom

Chapter three, and into the think of it.

The lights flipped on and Ashlie winced with the brightness. She had forgotten where she was and what had happen up until she heard the tall tale sign of girls talking. Something she was going to have to get use to.

Ashlie opened her eyes and saw Tori getting out of bed as well Lisa and Rhonda. She flipped up the blankets and pulled her feet over the side of the bed. Sluggishly, Ashlie rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She needed coffee. As she looked around her surroundings she frowned. There was going to be no coffee for her. who in there right mind would offer a supposed 12 year old coffee.

"good morning!" Said Tori as she gathered some items out of her nightstand.

Ashlie yawned, "good morning.." And stood up, but froze in place. She reached her hand behind her back and felt her butt only to remind herself that Rhonda had made her wet herself sometime in the middle of the night.

Ashlie stood straight up and acted like everything was OK, even thou she was wearing a very wet and overfilled pair of training pants.

She looked over to Rhonda who was smiling while making her bed. Rhonda gave out a small laugh and said, "everything all right Ashlie? Can you see that were all making are beds?"

Ashlie faked a smile and replied, "yes I see that. Suppose I should make mine to." Before turning around and fixing the sheets quickly, in hopes that no one knew she had wet the bed besides Rhonda.

Ashlie had just finished making the bed when Tori asked, "Ashlie? Why is your night gown wet in the back?"

Ashlie stood straight up in shock and felt the back of her gown, "I don't know why its wet Tori?" She said as she turned around so her back was facing the wall.

Tori looked at Ashlie, "sister Margaret said you wet the bed? Did you? I stopped like two years ago but I know what its like and if you did its no big deal."

Lisa was still making the bed and looked over her shoulder and said, "Tori! Don't make her more embarrassed than she already is."

Ashlie looked over to Lisa and said, "what do you mean? I'm not embarrassed by anything....I.."

Rhonda interrupted Ashlie, "you wet the bed. just say it." And gave out a small laugh.

Ashlie blushed beet red, "I did not wet the bed!"

Rhonda laughed, "OK what ever." And went about her own business.

Ashlie scooted over to her nightstand with her back still to the wall and opened the nightstand drawers. She fished out her uniform and a new pair of undies, "I'm going to the bathroom." She said as she made her way out of the room in a hurry.

As Ashlie scurried down the hall she felt the goodnite start to sag and as she reached down to hold the waist band she smashed into someone and fell backwards onto the ground with a thud.

"watch were your going child!" Came a voice and when Ashlie looked up it was sister Margaret.

"sorry sister Margaret, I was trying to get to the bathroom and..." Ashlie said in a hurry but stopped when the sister reached down and helped her to her feet.

Without any warning the sister lifted the front of Ashlie's night gown and said, "Ashlie! That is practically falling off of you! I think we should try a size smaller this time. lucky you had it on or we would be washing the sheets. well I guess we will try again tonight won't we? Go clean up Ashlie and get ready." As she pointed towards the bathrooms.

Ashlie bowed her head and said, "yes sister Margaret" before slowly walking off to the bathroom in shame.

Ashlie walked into the bathroom and waited for a shower stall to become available before stepping in and shedding her clothes off. She turned the knob and to her surprise the water was hot.

Ashlie let the water run over her face and hair for a few seconds before taken a step back and letting it run over her Breast. She grabbed her bar of soap and lathered her body up. It felt good to get clean after spending half a night laying in her own pee.

After Ashlie turned the water off she dried herself and got dressed in the school girl outfit. Stepping out of the stall Ashlie felt rejuvenated and a little better about the situation she was in.

She walked back to her room and noticed the girls were already dressed and standing at the foot of there beds waiting for count, so Ashlie did the same.

Much like the night before, after the sisters made there count the girls lined up and went to the dining hall.

This time the meal was pancakes and oatmeal. Ashlie ate everything on her plate and waited for everyone to finish before dropping the plate off at the little window.

This time thou the girls didn't go back to there room. Ashlie followed Tori and Lisa to the school room for the first time.

"where do I sit?" Asked Ashlie as Tori and Lisa made there way to there marked desk.

Tori looked around the room, "there's one spot open in the front!" She said as she pointed to an open desk.

Ashlie turned to look and noticed it literally was in the front row, in the middle.

She made her way to the desk and sat down. Looking forward she took note of what everyone had been learning.

It seemed that it was multiplication and division, world history, writing and reading. All simple things Ashlie had learned when she was really in school as a student.

The girls in the class were talking and the girls next to Ashlie had introduced them self's to her.

Sister Claire had walked into the room and everyone got deafly silent as she stepped in front of a huge white dry erase board.

"OK children, we have a new student starting today..." Sister Claire said as she signaled for Ashlie to stand up, "her name is Ashlie miller and she's going to come up here and introduce herself to you guys. So please be quiet and listen."

Ashlie walked up to the front of the class and stood next to sister Claire by the white dry erase board. She looked at all the girls who were staring at her and took a deep breath.

Ashlie looked up to sister Claire who smiled and than turned back to the class, "my name is Ashlie miller and I like...playing games? I...like coloring and painting as well writing. My fav...favorite food is....fetachine Alfredo." Ashlie smiled big and curtsied to exaggerate her childness, not knowing if she came off to adult or to young sounding in her small speech to the class.

"good good, now take a seat Ashlie." Sister Claire said as she turned to the white board.

Ashlie Sat down at her desk and smirked. She wasn't prepared for any of this but found she was doing a good job winging it as she went along.

Sister Claire began writing a math equation on the board and explaining how to solve it. Than she addressed the class, "OK girls, pull out some paper and a pencil from your desk and get ready to solve the math equations I write on the board."

The sister wrote close to thirty different problems than Sat down at her desk, "OK girls. Start." she said as she went about doing paper work.

Everyone worked in silence and Ashlie found that she was having a little trouble with the long division. It had been years since she had to actually use a pen and paper to do math because she always just used the calculator on her cell phone.

As time went on Ashlie became frustrated with the problems and turned her thoughts else where. This had been the start to the second day and even thou the school wasn't as bad as the press made it out to be, Ashlie felt a since of dread.

Ashlie looked around the room and took in all the decorations and hand painted pictures that were up. She was an adult sitting in the 5th grade, surrounded by twelve year olds who thought she was just the same as them.

Ashlie looked back to her paper and tapped her pencil on the desk. She didn't want to do the math, she wanted to be sitting in her own home, surfing the internet and drinking coffee. Doing anything as long as it wasn't math for that matter.

The whole classes attention was drawn to sister Claire as she stood up and cleared her throat, "everyone! Pencils down. Make sure your name is on the top corner and pass the paper forward to be collected."

Ashlie neatly wrote her name in the corner and turned around as the girl behind her passed her paper. As Ashlie set the girls paper down she felt another trap on her shoulder and was handed a small stack of papers.

Sister Claire walked to the front row and collected the papers from each desk, "girls, while I grade these papers you can go to the playground for recess. I will call you back inside when I'm done." The sister said as she picked up the last stack of papers.

Ashlie watched the girls around her stand up and start heading to the classroom door and she did the same as to not stand out.

She followed the girls down the hall and out the side door an onto the school playground until Ashlie stopped at the playground sand. She watched as the girls flow around her as they raced to the play area.

Most of the girls had felt that they were to big or old to be going down the slides and had taken to hop scotch and tether ball, But there was still some who played on the jungle gym.

Ashlie watched to see what the majority of the girls were doing as she thought about her fear from the day before of being on the playground amongst them.

Reluctantly Ashlie started walking over to the tether ball court and stood in line for her turn. As the line got shorter and Ashlie got closer to her turn she felt herself being pushed.
Ashlie turned around in a hurry and seen it was Rhonda.

"what do you want?" Ashlie said as she stood up as tall as possible to make herself look bigger.

Rhonda looked around the school yard to make sure none of the sisters were watching, "I don't want anything from you, I just want to see you get in trouble."

Ashlie was thrown back by Rhonda's words, "I'm sure you do, but I'm not doing anything wrong?"

Rhonda kept looking around the school yard and said, "that you know of."

Ashlie looked around in confusion, she didn't understand what Rhonda was getting at or did. Ashlie looked over to the tether ball court and seen it was her turn. She walked into the circle and looked at Rhonda who kept smiling.

"she's just trying to scare you." Ashlie said to herself as she served the ball to the other girl. They both took there turns hitting the ball and trying to get it past each other. It had gotten to the point where Ashlie was truly having fun playing the game. The other girl kept trying to get the ball past Ashlie but each time Ashlie blocked it.

"ASHLIE MILLER! You come here RIGHT NOW!!" Yelled sister Claire as she stormed out of the building and towards the playground.

Ashlie looked over when she heard her name and seen the sister storming towards her in a hurry. Ashlie froze in place not sure what to do.

Sister Claire walked right up to Ashlie and grabbed her arm in anger, "I'm not going to stand for your blasphemy child! You don't make a mockery of are lord!" And pulled Ashlie off of the tether ball court and towards the main building.

As Ashlie was being pulled along she said, "what are you talking about! I didn't do anything I swear!" But it came off more as a whine similar to a child who was trying to get out of trouble.

The sister marched Ashlie down the main hall and to the door of sister grace's office, "sit! And you better not move!" The sister ordered as she pointed to the wooden bench by the door.

Ashlie quickly Sat down on the bench and she felt dread wash over her. She didn't do anything wrong that she knew of, and if Rhonda did something she would have no way of knowing until she was told by the sisters what it was.

Sister Claire had gone into sister graces office and came back out in a matter of seconds, "Ashlie, come." She said as she stood in the door way.

Ashlie slid off the wooden bench and began to really worry as she passed sister Claire and saw sister Grace looking over a paper.

Sister grace looked up to sister Claire, "I got it from here, when in done I will send Ashlie back to class. Thank you for bringing this to my attention."

Sister Claire gave Ashlie a glare and closed the door as she left the office. Leaving Ashlie alone with sister grace.

"please sit child." Sister grace said as she pointed to a chair in front of her desk.

Ashlie slowly climbed into the chair.

"now Ashlie, sister Claire has told me that you drew a nasty little picture onto a piece of paper and passed it in along with your math test. In which you got the lowest score out of the whole class. Do you want to explain this to me?" The sister said as she held up a drawing for Ashlie to see.

The drawing was of a very crude picture of a donkey riding what was suppose to Jesus. Ashlie took one glance at the picture and turned to sister grace, "sister grace! I didn't do that picture! You got to believe me!"

The sister set the picture down, "are you sure? It has your name right on it. Tell the truth Ashlie." She said as she looked Ashlie in the face.

Ashlie was on the spot and fought for something to say, until it hit her, "look at the writing! If it has my name on it than the writing well match! Go ahead! Look sister grace!" Ashlie cried out.

The sister grabbed both papers and looked them over and said, "I'm sorry Ashlie, the drawing doesn't match what you wrote on your math test. Looks like someone was trying to get you in trouble? I kind of have an idea who that someone might be." The sister stood up and opened the door, with the drawing in her hand, "go ahead and get up, lets get you back to class and I will match the hand writing there." She said.

As Ashlie walked out of the office she felt like there was a great weight lifted off of her shoulders. She had dreaded getting in trouble. she was told the day before by Lisa and Tori that sister graces office was the where the girls got spanked. Something Ashlie was clearly going to avoid.

As they got to the class sister grace instructed Ashlie to take her seat before walking over to the desk where sister Claire Sat.

"can I see the math test sister Claire? Looks like someone was trying to set Ashlie up for a punishment and I'm going to get down to the bottom of it." Sister grace said as she was handed the stack of math papers.

Sister grace looked through the papers while the whole class sat in silence, waiting to see who would be called out by the sister.

"awww.... Found it," sister grace said as she set the papers down on sister Claire's desk, "Rhonda Runyon please come up to the front of the class."

Every student turned there head to look at Rhonda, who was sitting in the back of the class. Rhonda slowly stood up and walked between the desk towards sister grace.

As Rhonda got to the front of the class sister grace grabbed Rhonda by the ear and twisted it.

Rhonda gave out a yell as her ear was twisted and was marched in front of Ashlie's desk, "Rhonda apologize to Ashlie this instant!" Snarled sister grace in a tone no one would have suspected to come from her.

"I'm sorry Ashlie!" Rhonda cried as the sister twisted her ear a little more.
The sister kept her grip on Rhonda and said "sorry for what?"

Ashlie could see the hate in Rhonda's eyes as Rhonda looked at Ashlie and said, "I'm sorry for getting you in trouble."

The sister let go of Rhonda's ear and addressed the class, "Ashlie here helped catch Rhonda, who was trying to frame her for something she didn't do. If it wasn't for Ashlie telling, than she would have gotten punished for doing nothing wrong. Much like the apostil Paul, who did ten years in prison for talking about the word of God. You should all be more like Ashlie." She said as she placed a hand on Rhonda's shoulder, "now you girls go back to your studies as I attend to Rhonda here back at my office."

Rhonda looked mortified as the sister guided her towards the door and to a for sure spanking back at her office.

Sister Claire clapped her hands, "girls, girls. Now turn to page 56 of your history book and read chapters ten to fifteen please."

The sister walked up to Ashlie's desk and set a history book down, "I'm sorry Ashlie." She said before walking to her desk and sitting down.

Ashlie nodded OK and opened her history book to page 56. As she read about the crusaders fighting there way across Europe she couldn't help but think about sister graces office and if she didn't speak up, that it would be her right now getting spanked instead of Rhonda.

She couldn't take her mind off of it. What if played over and over in her head. She couldn't imagine having her jumper pulled up and panties pulled down while another woman spanked her like an out of control child. Ashlie thought about Rhonda and almost for a second felt bad but flashed back to the night before when Rhonda made her wet herself.

Ashlie shook all the thoughts from her head and went back to reading her world history book until she reached chapter fifteen. She closed the book and sat at her desk, waiting for all the other girls to finish.

Sister Claire had looked at Ashlie and mouthed, "are you done?"

Ashlie nodded a big yes and waited quietly as the sister stood up and walked over to get desk carrying something.

The sister set down a brand new notebook and Ashlie took note that she had written, "Ashlie's journal." On the cover.

Ashlie looked up and said, "thank you sister Claire."

"Your welcome Ashlie." The sister said as she walked around the class to see if everyone was doing OK reading there history books.

Ashlie didn't know she needed the journal until it was in her hands. As she looked at it, she thought it would be good thing to have for taken notes on anything she found incriminating about the school. She just had to keep it will hidden from prying eyes.

After everyone was done reading from the history book, sister Claire had been asking questions about what the girls learned. For the most part everyone was right on the noise with the answers.

After history class was done everyone was sent to the dining hall for lunch and half an hour of recess.

Ashlie found herself back out on the playground and this time everyone was acting different towards her.

As she waited in line for the tether ball court a girl said, "are you sure you want to play? It might take to long and you'll snitch on us!"

Ashlie rolled her eyes, "I'm not a snitch or tattle tale. I didn't do anything wrong. I just told the truth."
The girl ignored Ashlie and said, "your a teachers pet tattle tale!" and a couple of other girls joined in, chanting, "tattle tale, tattle tale!"

Ashlie didn't know what to do and figured it would be best to just walk away and find something else to do.

She walked up to where Tori was and said, "hi!"

Tori introduced Ashlie to the other girls and they seemed to be a little shy with talking to Ashlie but soon warmed up.

Ashlie joined them in playing hop scotch but stopped after the second round. She wasn't wearing a bra and every time she hopped she could feel her breast bouncing up and down with each jump of the square.

As Ashlie watched the other girls play she briefly looked over to see Rhonda walking onto the playground. "great." Ashlie said herself, for she knew Rhonda was coming to find her.

Everyone on the playground stopped what they were doing and looked at rhonda as she marched past them and up to Ashlie.

Ashlie prepared herself for the worst as Rhonda walked up. She could tell that Rhonda had been crying by the looks of her eyes.

Ashlie was the first to say something, "Rhonda, I'm so sorry I had no idea that was going to happen and.."

Ashlie found herself cut off by Rhonda, "what did you think was going to happen when you snitched on me! I told you yesterday don't ever tell on me! EVER!" Yelled Rhonda.

Ashlie was taken back by the sudden out burst and replied, "I didn't tell on you! I swear! Sister grace matched the hand writing by herself!"

Rhonda took a step closer to Ashlie and in a low voice said, "you told on me no matter what you say. I'm going to get you back for this. I told you don't ever tell on me or I'm going to make your life a living hell. I'm not going to do it today or tomorrow because the sisters still be expecting it, but its going to happen. Count on that!"

Ashlie felt a little intimidated by Rhonda as she looked up at her and replied, "Rhonda, I'm really really sorry!"

Rhonda turned to walk away and looked over her shoulder and smugly said, "your not sorry yet."

Ashlie watched Rhonda walk to the shade of a tree. Ashlie turned back to the girls she was playing with, "I didn't tell on her!" Ashlie said, but the girls didn't seem to sure of it.

Tori looked at Ashlie, "I know you didn't, but what are you going to do?"

Ashlie shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know?"

Recess ended and the girls went back to class. Sister Claire began teaching the class about the finer points of grammar all the while Ashlie thought about Rhonda and what she might have in store.

The night before Rhonda had warned Ashlie to never snitch on her or her life at the school would be hell. Now as she sat in class she started to feel insecure with fact that she was letting a 12 year bully her around.

Ashlie turned her head around and caught sight of Rhonda staring right at her in silence, than turned back around to her paper. "This girl is nuts." Ashlie thought to herself as sister Claire kept reading off how to do proper sentences.

The rest of the school day went pretty fast and by 3 o'clock sister Claire had dismissed the girls for the day. Ashlie grabbed the journal the sister had given her and walked out of the class to her room.

When Ashlie entered her room she flopped on her bed, only to hear the crinkle sound of the plastic sheet. She rolled over on her back and let out a sigh. She had forgotten about the sheet and with each move her body, it became more and more of a reminder that she was now thought of as a bed wetter.

Ashlie looked up when she heard Tori and Lisa come into the room talking amongst them self's.

Lisa looked at Ashlie on the bed and said, "want to go down to the rec room and play a game?"

Ashlie watched Tori give Lisa an odd look and decided it might be best to stay in her room. At least she could start writing in her journal about how saint Marys was really ran.

Ashlie looked at Lisa, "no its OK. I think I'm going to stay here and rest."

Lisa smiled and took ahold of Tori's arm, "OK Ashlie! You know where to find us if you change your mind!" She said before walking out of the room.

Ashlie frowned as Rhonda walked in past the girls and looked behind her to make sure the coast was clear. Ashlie could feel that something was up or about to go wrong just by how Rhonda was acting.

Rhonda walked to her bed without saying a word and laid down so her head was facing Ashlie. She didn't speak, as she stared at Ashlie creepily.
"what are you doing?" Ashlie asked as she felt a little crept out by Rhonda's glare.

Rhonda smiled, "just thinking about all the ways I'm going to slowly make you pay for today." She said as she winked at Ashlie and rolled over to face the wall.

Ashlie laid back down on her bed worried. She didn't know what she was going to do about Rhonda. She had to figure something out thou. She couldn't spend the next two weeks living in fear or looking over her shoulder the whole time.

Ashlie looked to her journal and pulled it into her hand. Maybe some writing would help her out. She grabbed her pencil and started her first entry while everyone was doing there own thing.

Ashlie was in the middle of the second page when Lisa and Tori walked back into the room. Ashlie seen that they were standing at the foot of there bed, which meant it was time for count.

Ashlie stood up and joined then by standing at the foot of her own bed. Slowly Rhonda got up and did the same. Everyone stood silently waiting for count.

Even thou Ashlie knew Lisa and Tori were cowards and afraid of Rhonda, they some how lost respect for Ashlie. She could tell how they were treating her. Lisa out of all people was ditzy and liked to make small talk, but took to not really talking to Ashlie at all now.

Ashlie stood in place and waited for sister Margaret to do her count before being sent off to supper. Even at dinner Ashlie could tell that the other girls were a little iffy about her by there lack of communication.

It wasn't until dinner was over and they were on there way back to there room Ashlie asked Tori, "is everyone mad at me?"

Tori was walking in front of Ashlie and turned her head enough to see Ashlie out of the corner of her eye and said, "for the must part yes. Lisa and I aren't but Rhonda said she will beat us up of we talk to you."

Ashlie bit her lip. Rhonda really was going to make the whole stay hard on her if she could. There had to be a way to fix it.

The girls got to there room and like the night before climbed onto there beds for reading time. Ashlie grabbed her Bible and opened to the page she left off at.

The story was taken place right after the deep space monster God had rested for the day, on the seventh day. He had created a garden of Eden where every animal lived and the only man thrived, up until he got lonely.

Ashlie was picturing what the garden looked liked when the lights flashed on and off above her head. She closed her Bible and sat up with stretch.

She looked to her roommates who were doing the same and figured that she might as will go to the bathroom this time.

Ashlie walked to the doorway and said, "so who's coming with me?" In a over the top friendly tone.

She pointed at Lisa, Tori, and even Rhonda saying, "come on! Lets go!"

The three girls looked at each other before walking behind Ashlie to the bathroom. Ashlie had figured a new angle, seeing that all three responded to her being super Nice, maybe she should kill them with kindness.

To say the least it was a little weird for Ashlie, going to the bathroom with a group of girls. They sat next to each on the toilets and talked about the things they use to like before they came to saint Marys.

Ashlie could feel that this new angle might work pretty well for her. Even Rhonda had joined in the conversation and seemed a little less annoying than she usually was.

The girls left the bathroom and were headed towards there room when Ashlie realized she used this time the day before to change into her night gown.

As they walked into their room Ashlie knew the best way to change without being seen was to face the window. Even then, there would be a slight chance one of them cloud see her reflection in the glass off the window.

Ashlie walked to her nightstand and opened the second drawer down. She pulled out a nighty and set it on the bed. She could tell that the other three girls were doing the same and took their distraction as her time to change quickly. Ashlie pulled her jumper off and undid her white shirt, before sliding the night gown over her head in a hurry.

She looked over her shoulder to make sure no one had noticed her breast as she pulled off her white tights. Ashlie folded the tights and stuck them in the nightstand neatly.

"don't forget your diaper!" Laughed Rhonda as she sat on her bed and fluffed her pillow.

Ashlie sharply turned her head to Rhonda and said, "its not a diaper!"

Tori and Lisa had climbed on their own beds and were watching Ashlie as she looked at Rhonda.

Rhonda was still laughing, "OK, it's not a diaper! Now won't you just put your big girl panties on, like a big girl and go to bed."

Ashlie scowled at Rhonda and Rhonda smiled big as she sat on her bed and looked right back at Ashlie.

Ashlie grabbed the knob of the top drawer of her nightstand and pulled it open. She grabbed a goodnite and closed the drawer.

Ashlie looked over to Rhonda who was still watching and noticed that Lisa and Tori were watching her as well.

Slowly Ashlie dropped her panties to the floor in shame and stepped into the training pants. She hiked them up her legs and into place before flatting out her night gown. She never had felt so humiliated as she did right now. She just had three people watch her put on training pants as if it was some sort of show.

"good girl!" Teased Rhonda as Ashlie climbed into her own bed and laid down. She felt like she was going to cry but held it back so she didn't give Rhonda anything more to tease her with.

In a matter of moments sister Margaret came into the room and straight to Ashlie's bed.

"are you wearing your nite nite pants?" Asked the sister as she stood above Ashlie.

Ashlie looked up to sister Margaret from the bed, "yes sister Margaret..." She said.

The sister bent down a little and lifted the bottom of Ashlie's night gown to check for herself. She leaned back up and said, "Honey, your so little! those ones are a little big on you and there the smallest size we got. When sister grace does the ordering this week, I will have her find a smaller size for you."

Ashlie looked up at sister Margaret from the bed and asked, "what size are these sister Margaret?" With concern in her voice.

Sister Margaret began tucking Ashlie in for bed and replied, "those are size small dear."

The sister stood up and walked over to Tori and Lisa's bed and tucked them in, before doing the same to Rhonda.

As sister Margaret walked to the door she said, "good night girls." Without looking back.

Ashlie laid in bed and looked out her window until the lights turned off. She was thinking about the night before when Rhonda had attacked her while she was sleeping. It wasn't going to happen tonight Ashlie swore to herself. If she had to stay up all night she would.

Everyone in the room was silent. Ashlie laid wide awake waiting for Rhonda to make her move, but it never came. Ashlie could her Rhonda slightly snoring and decided she should get some sleep herself.

Ashlie fluffed her pillow and laid her head back down before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

A step to far, chapter two

A STEP TO FAR.

Chapter two: going undercover.

Ashlie had a taxi drop her off in front of Sarah's house around 7:30 am. She could feel the Butterfly's in her stomach as she looked over her shoulder to make sure her ride to her new adventure wasn't there. She couldn't stay still and the anticipation was getting to her as Ashlie prepped herself mentally.

It didn't take long for Sarah to come outside and right away she covered her mouth, "oh my God! Your so stinking cute!" She said before she pinched Ashlie's cheek.

"stop it" Ashlie said as she shoed Sarah's hand away.

Sarah frowned than stood up straight, "you know what you little SHIT, I hope you have a good time going to school. A real good time."

Ashlie put her hands on her hips, "Its only high school for two weeks, can't be that bad."

At that moment a van pulled up to the house and two nuns got out. Ashlie looked at Sarah and Sarah said, "looks like you're ride is here, and they think your full name is Ashlie Mary miller, your twelve years old.."

Ashlie interrupted, "12 YEARS OLD!"

Sarah shushed Ashlie, "YES, 12 years old and going into the 6th grade honey."

Ashlie didn't have time to yell at Sarah as the nuns were now almost to them.

"hello, you must be the Millers?" One of the nuns said as she stood close to Ashlie. The other nun shook Sarah's hand and introduced herself, "hello, my name is sister grace, I'm the head mistress at saint Marys academy. I'm here to pick up you're daughter Ashlie miller."

Sarah looked to Ashlie, " well this is her sister grace. Do I need to send anything with her?"

The nun looked rather scary as she stood straight up in her robes, "no you don't Mrs. miller. I assure you that we supply everything Ashlie will need while in are care. I'm sorry to say but we are a little pressed for time today so are visit will be rather short."

Sarah smiled at sister grace, "I understand, well Ashlie its ready to go if you want."

The sister nodded and looked at Ashlie, "please give your mother a hug and kiss. We are tight on are scheduling and need to go child."

Ashlie looked at Sarah who had reached out for a hug and Ashlie did the same. Both women hugged and Sarah whispered, "have fun..."

The nuns escorted Ashlie towards there van and as Ashlie climbed into the back seat. she turned and looked at Sarah who stood waving by her front door. Sarah had the biggest smile on her face and Ashlie couldn't help but think something was up.

The sister closed the van door and climbed in the passenger seat. The other nun took her place behind the wheel and fired up the van, "wave goodbye to your mother dear." Sister grave said without looking back.

As the van pulled away from the house Sarah flipped Ashlie off. It was her last way of getting in the last word without actually saying anything.

Ashlie turned and faced forward. Her mind was racing a million miles a minute. Never in her life would she had thought that she would be going back to school. She was 22 and undercover as a child, in which everyone didn't second guess. She learned that the night before when she went out to dinner with her friend Leslie and not a single person thought of her as an adult. It was a scary thing to think that no matter what she said or did, no adult would believe her.

Than the whole situation hit Ashlie hard and she bit her lip. If something was to go wrong she was powerless to do anything because in the publics eye she was now a minor. She was going to be trapped like this for the next two weeks no matter what. No going out to eat, no drinks, no friends. No friends! Ashlie didn't tell Leslie she was going early! Or leave a note for that matter. Ashlie began to think maybe this was a bad idea.

Ashlie's thoughts were interrupted when sister grace began talking, "Ashlie my child, its all going to be OK. your mom isn't going anywhere. I know this whole ordeal has to somewhat upsetting to you. New place, new people, surroundings for that matter. Your going to see thou, its not that bad."

Ashlie faked a smile, "yeah its kind of scary." She said from the back seat.

Sister grace said, "you need to address me as sister grace or sister, dear."

Ashlie corrected herself, "it's scary sister grace."

The sister nodded in approval at Ashlie's correction, "there are some rules I will fill you in on before we get back to the school, since we got time. You are always to address an adult by the proper name. You will never take the lords name in vain, or use profanity for that manner. We have a strick dress code in which you will abide." The sister said as she turned to look at Ashlie.

Ashlie shook her head, "OK, I understand those rules, seems simple enough."

The sister turned a little more to see Ashlie and questioned her, "what was the first rule I told you?"

Ashlie cocked her head to the side and said, "always....address an adult by their proper name?"

The sister looked at her and rolled her hands as a sign for Ashlie to continue.

Ashlie didn't know what she did but figured she would try it again, "always address an adult by their proper name...sister grace?"

This time the sister said, "good girl. Always address the person your talking to in the proper manner." Before turning around in her seat and putting on the radio.

Ashlie felt ridicules being talked down to like a child and sunk down in her seat. The radio was on a Christin talk channel and had a man yelling about something Ashlie want use to, religion.

"lean up child, you will practice good posture while your in are school." The driver said as she looked in the mirror at Ashlie.

Ashlie leaned up straight and looked out the window. This was going to be a long couple of weeks she thought. It had only been ten minutes and it wasn't off to a good start as is. She sighed, this was not going to be fun.

Ashlie didn't know the school was in town and found herself amazed at the size of the academy. The building was four story's tall and had a Gothic look to it. There was a rod iron fence that went all the way around the facility. All this slapped right in the middle of the city. Ashlie was actually familiar with the area, she had a friend who lived right around the corner.

The van pulled through the gates and came to a stop at the main entrance, "were here." Said the nun driving as she turned off the engine.

Sister grace got out and opened the door for Ashlie, "come Ashlie, lets go get you set up and settled in." She said as she waited for Ashlie.

Ashlie climbed out of the van and got a creepy feeling when she caught sight of a bunch of girls staring at her through the windows.

Without saying a word Ashlie followed the two nuns into the building and could feel the girls eyes following her as she walked up the steps.

The inside was clean and lacked imagination, besides statutes of saints and Crosses. Ashlie followed sister grace to a stair case where she told the other nun to take Ashlie to her room and get her properly dressed.

Ashlie's eyes widen a bit when she heard the part about getting dressed. She felt a bit of panic rise up her spine and her hands got clammy. She didn't prepare for any of this, and now it was happing.

The nun took Ashlie by the hand, "Ashlie, my name is sister Margaret. Please follow me, I will show you to your room."

Ashlie took her hand and let herself be lead up the stair case by sister Margaret until they got to the second story. As Ashlie followed sister Margaret down a hall, she couldn't help but look around. Catching a glimpse every now and than of a room, in which seemed to be super clean.

The sister stopped, "this is going to be your room dear. Room 35. Can you repeat that?" She said as she looked down on Ashlie.

Ashlie felt small. Not given that she was short and petite, but because she had fooled the nuns well enough that they truly believed that she was a child. Now she was made to repeat what she was told on command, "my room is room 35, sister Margaret." Ashlie said half sulking.

The sister took a step inside the room, "good, room 35. Just remember that." She said as Ashlie followed in.

Ashlie frowned when she noticed the room had four beds and not just one. That meant she was going to have roommates, even worse three teenage girls as roommates.

The sister walked over to a bed that had a folded bundle of clothes sitting on it, "this is going to be your bed Ashlie dear. I got one outfit laid out for you and there is two additional outfits in this nightstand, plus a weekend casual outfit, nighty, socks and undies. The top drawer has toothbrush, soap, Bible and nite nite pants. The other girls are in class right now, you will start tomorrow morning. I'm going to go use the bathroom, you go ahead and change and when I get back I will show you around." Sister Margaret said as she walked to the door.

Ashlie watched the sister walk out of the room and let out a sigh of relief. She didn't want anyone to see her naked. The night before Ashlie had shaved herself as smooth as possible and if anyone were to see her naked in her present disguise they for sure wouldn't have second guessed she really was an adult.

Ashlie pulled off her shirt and dropped her pants to the floor as fast as possible. She noticed the top of the pile of clothes had underwear and a camisole. Ashlie looked over her shoulder to make sure no one was watching and pulled down her flower pattern panties. She quickly stepped into the new pair of panties and pulled them up to her waist. Next she pulled the training bra Carson had supplied off over her head and guided her arms into the camisole. Ashlie was more on the busty side and the camisole did little to hide her D size bust.

Ashlie grabbed the white button up shirt and slid her arms into the sleeves , before buttoning up the shirt. The material was stiff and she could tell was ironed out.

Next she grabbed what looked like a green plaid skirt, but upon closer inspection she found it was a green plaid jumper with a pleated skirt bottom. In a flash Ashlie pulled it over her head and into place. The jumper actually did a good job of covering up her breast. It looked ridiculous thou.

As Ashlie sat on the bed she paused for a second at hearing a crinkle in the air and than went back to work with putting her feet into the opening of a pair of thick white tights. She stood up long enough to hike them up over her butt, before sitting back on the bed and hearing the same crinkle sound. As she worked her feet into the black Mary Jane shoes she thought to herself, "this story better be in the prime news spot. This was a stupid idea. Stupid stupid. I feel like a moron dressed like this."

Ashlie finished putting on her shoes and stood up. She looked herself over in a mirror and frowned. "This was not real." she thought as a child looked back at her in the mirror. Ashlie let out a sigh and as she turned around sister Margaret was standing in the door way.

"I see the clothes fit pretty well." Sister Margaret said as she walked up to Ashlie, "just one more thing."

The sister unclasped the bows out of Ashlie's hair and slid on a hair band, "there you go! You look Nice and proper dear." The sister Said as she took Ashlie's hand in hers, "now I will show you around."

Ashlie was lead down the hall way and sister Margaret explained that this floor was were most of the student rooms were located at.

As they walked down the stairs the nun told Ashlie about some of the routines the girls had. Such as getting up at six am and getting ready for breakfast, and lights out at 8:30 pm.

They got to the first floor and walked up to a large wooden double door the sister opened it for Ashlie to see, "this is the main church. We have mass Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings in here."

Ashlie looked at the room and found out was quiet large, "wow, it sure is pretty sister Margaret." Ashlie said, even thou it wasn't that impressive to her.

The sister lead Ashlie further down the hall. Stopping to point out a room here and there, which all seemed to be classrooms. They stopped at a door and the sister opened it.

The room was indeed a classroom filled with students doing math. Sister Margaret walked into the room with Ashlie and clapped her hands together loud enough for everyone's attention, "girls, we have a new student here that's going to be starting tomorrow. Her name is Ashlie miller and I want you to say hi."

Ashlie felt nervous as all the attention was pushed on her and she was the point of everyone's focus now.

All the girls put down there books and pencils and in unison said, "hello Ashlie miller."

Ashlie froze up until sister Margaret nudged her shoulder, "hello." Ashlie nervously said with a shy wave.

The sister looked to the nun who was teaching the class, "I'm showing her the tour of the grounds. Is there anything you would like to add?"

The nun smiled, "Ashlie, my name is sister Claire. while in my class you better be here to learn. I don't like people joking around or not paying attention to there lessons. Is that understood?"

Ashlie nodded big, "yes that's understood sister Claire."

Sister Margaret grabbed Ashlie's shoulder, "OK, I got to finish showing Ashlie around. Girls be good." Was what she said before walking Ashlie out of the room and closing the door behind her.

The next room they stopped at was the dining hall. Ashlie could smell food in the air and it smelt good. The sister explained what time meals happen at and closed the door.

Ashlie was hungry after smelling the food. She hadn't eaten before getting picked up and now it was starting to wear on her.

The next stop was at an office door. There was an old wooden bench sitting outside the door and the sister told Ashlie to sit.

Ashlie sat down and watched the sister open the door and walk in, only to close it behind her.

Ashlie caught herself kicking her feet back and forth while sitting and thinking about the mess she was in. The idea of going undercover sounded like a good idea until it actually was happening. Now she had hung up her adult Responsibility's and taken the rule of a child. Forced to live by rules she hadn't had to abide by since she herself was little.

The door opened and sister Margaret called for Ashlie to enter. Getting up off the bench Ashlie felt like she was in incredible trouble. She walked into the office and sister Claire sat behind a desk, "aw Ashlie, sister Margaret said you have finished the tour. I always like my office to be the last stop. Now if you are to get into any sort of trouble this is where you will being going. To my office, no where else."

Ashlie shook her head yes while saying, "yes sister grace, I understand."

Sister grace showed no sign of acknowledgment to Ashlie and looked to sister Margaret, "show Ashlie here, where the playground is and than take her back to her room please."

Sister Margaret said,"yes sister." As she grabbed Ashlie once again by the shoulder.

They were almost out the door when sister grace spoke up, "Ashlie?"

Ashlie turned around, "yes sister grace?"

The sister stood up from her seat, "just to let you know, I don't give second chances. There's good kids and bad kids, and I don't know which one you are yet. Show me through your actions child. Now have a good day."

With that said, sister Margaret pulled Ashlie out of sister grace's office and closed the door. They made there way back to the front of the hall and out a door that lead to a playground. The sister told Ashlie this is the playground she will have access to when there is recess or after lunch time.

Ashlie looked the playground over and shrugged. It wasn't that great. There was swings and a jungle gym with a couple other things that come along with a playground.

"now Ashlie, lets go to your room and I will take your old clothes. School should be getting out soon and you can meet your new roommates while you guys wait for the dinner bell." Sister Margaret said as she headed back into the building.

After they got back to the room the sister scooped up Ashlie's street clothes and told Ashlie to wait in the room. The sister smiled at Ashlie and said, "I hope you like it here." Before walking off with the clothes.

Ashlie walked over to the window and stared outside. She looked down at the playground and pictured kids playing on it. than she pictured herself paying on it with the kids and it made her shudder. Ashlie her whole life had never really spent any time with children, but now she was to be one of them. She replayed all the things the sisters had told her and Ashlie wanted to cry. She wanted a prize story for her news channel, not a second chance at being young.

Ashlie turned from the window when she heard the tall tale signs of feet walking in the hallway. By the sound of all the giggling, school had gotten out.

Ashlie took a couple of deep breathes and prepped herself into putting on her game face. This was going to happen no matter what and it should be best to start off on the right foot if she wanted to dig up dirt on the school. the best way would be through the students.

Ashlie was thrown back a bit when two younger girls walked through the door. They both paused and looked at Ashlie.

One girl waved and said, "hello! My name is Tori."

While the other said, "my name is Lisa! We seen you in class today. Your Ashlie right?"

Ashlie smiled as big as she could, "yes my name is Ashlie! Nice to meet you!" 
Ashlie didn't know what to do and stuck her hand out for a shake but was thrown off guard when Lisa and Tori group hugged Ashlie.

As they back off from the group hug, Ashlie noticed something she found a little unsettling. Tori and Lisa were both taller than herself. Not by much, but enough to notice.

Ashlie took a step back and without given herself away asked, "so how old are the two of you?"

Both of the girls said, "12" at the same time. It was Tori who kept on talking, "this room is only for 12 year olds. The next room is for 12 to 13, and the room after that is 13 to 14 years old. Your 12 right?" She said as she put her hands on her hips with the must questioning of tones.

Ashlie was a bit taken back by her sudden questioning by the girls and said, "yeah...I'm 12. 12 years old Ashlie miller, that's me." Not fully sure that was the answer they were looking for.

Tori and Lisa clapped there hands with excitement and Ashlie felt compelled to do the same, just to fit in.

There excitement was short lived when the third roommate walked in. Ashlie noticed right away that Tori and Lisa stopped clapping and looked kind of worried.

Ashlie turned and looked and that's the first time she ever laid eyes on Rhonda. The name alone meant trouble but after seeing the girl in real life, Ashlie knew she was no good.

Rhonda had to be the tallest 12 year old Ashlie had ever seen. Not only was she tall, she was a little over weight and had a attitude to match.

Ashlie was standing by her bed and cheerfully said, "hello my name is Ashlie...."

Rhonda cut Ashlie off, "I don't care who you are pip sqweek, stay away from my bed or else!" And flopped on her own bed and fixed the pillows around her head.

Ashlie stood there in silence, not knowing what to say. She looked to Tori and Lisa who just seemed to lay on there bed and take Rhonda's abuse in silence.

Ashlie cleared her throat and said, "excuse me? I said hello." She looked over and both Tori and Lisa looked shocked.

"I heard you the first time!" Said Rhonda and she stood up from her bed. She had to been almost a head taller than Ashlie and twice the girth. Rhonda pushed Ashlie onto her bed, "this is my room and you will do what I say!" She said with anger.

Ashlie was shocked at being pushed with such force but decided she wasn't going to be pushed around by someone twice as young as herself. Ashlie jumped back up from the bed, "you can't boss me around!" Ashlie shouted as she pushed Rhonda.

Ashlie felt dumb when Rhonda only took a step back with the push, but at least she stood her ground. Ashlie didn't expect Rhonda wouldn't let herself be pushed around as well and was caught off guard when Rhonda grabbed Ashlie's arm and twisted it behind her back and pushed up.

Ashlie let out a yelp as she felt her arm against her own back, "what do you think your doing!" She cried out.

Rhonda pushed up a little more, "like I told you new girl, I don't care who you are! This is my room and you will do what I say, when I say. Don't think about telling on me either. I will make you suffer! GOT THAT!"

Ashlie was in no disposition to disagree, "I got it!I got it! Let me go!" She whined.

Rhonda released Ashlie's arm, "now that we been familiarized, has any one ever told you, you look like that loser chick from the news?" She said as she laid back down on her own bed.

Ashlie's arm hurt from being twisted, but she instantly forgot the pain when Rhonda mentioned her being on the news. Ashlie thinking fast on how to lead Rhonda away from the subject said, "yeah I've been told that before. You can't go around picking on us! We share this room to!"

Rhonda laughed, "I can pick on anyone I want. your not my mom and aren't going to stop me."

Ashlie stood her ground once more. She was an adult and not about to hit a child, but surely she could think of something to drive Rhonda crazy with. Ashlie took a step closer, "you might be bigger than me, but I have something you don't!"

Rhonda leaned up from her bed, "what's that?"

Ashlie put her hands on her hips and in a matter of fact voice said, "I got my dignity and self respect, something you clearly don't."

Rhonda fell back onto her bed laughing, "that's something a nerd would say. Dignity, stupid. Now why don't the three of you find something to do. I'm taken a nap before dinner."

Ashlie was just beside herself, being dismissed by a 12 year old bully was not something she was use to. She turned and looked at Tori and Lisa, who were sitting on there beds wide eyed.

Ashlie took one look at them and knew they were deeply afraid of Rhonda, "so what can we do to pass the time tell dinner?" Ashlie asked.

Tori got up off her bed and tip toed over to Ashlie, "we can go down to the rec room and find a game if you want?" She whispered to Ashlie.

Lisa got up off her bed and said, "that sounds like a great idea." As quietly as she could.

Ashlie shrugged at the suggestion, it didn't sound fun at all but wanted to fit in, "OK! Lead the way!" Ashlie said as she forced a smile.

As the girls walked out the room Ashlie noticed the hallway was alive with teens everywhere. She politely said hello and gave the appropriate head nod when walking past the other students.

"wow, I didn't know there was this many people here?" Ashlie said as they made there way to the stair case.
Lisa without looking back said, "there's one hundred beds in this school." And bounced down the stair case, skipping a step every few steps.
Ashlie and Tori followed suit and raced down the stairs after Lisa.

Once they reached the bottom of the stair case they began there walk down the main hall, to the Rec room.

Ashlie took a deep breath as the entered the room. She now had Officially thrown herself into the world of teenage girls. Tori and Lisa lead Ashlie to an open table and Tori and Ashlie sat down.

Lisa put her hands on the back of a chair, "sit tight! I'm going to go get a board game!" She said before walking off towards a wall littered with books and games on shelf's.

Ashlie watched Lisa trot off and took the time to observe the other people in the room. There were girls everywhere and it was somewhat loud. For the most part they all were playing games or reading as well. Ashlie noted that in the far corner there was a television with some chairs around it.

"so where are you from?" Tori asked.

Ashlie was still looking around the room when she said, "I'm from here. San Luis obispo that is, I was raised in this city."

Tori followed up with another question, barely given Ashlie enough time to finish her last answerer, "do you like Kate Perry? I do but were not aloud to have music here."

Ashlie looked to Tori who was resting her chin on her hands while staring right at her. It was a little awkward but Ashlie could tell Tori was being friendly, "Katy Perry isn't that bad. Wait? Your not aloud music?" Ashlie asked back.

"yeah no personal devices, cell phones, iPods, or anything of that nature. The nuns say it takes away from are learning." replied Tori.

Ashlie looked around to make sure no one was listening in before asking Tori, "so is this place pretty cool or what? How do the sisters treat everyone?" Before sitting back in her chair and listening. She figured talking to Tori and Lisa was going to be the best way to dig up some dirt on the school for her story.

Tori moved her hands from her chin, "this place isn't to bad. A lot of rules to follow but there not that hard to remember. The sisters on the other hand are pretty cool most of the time. as long as you don't break the rules."

Ashlie jumped a little when Lisa dropped a board game on the table by surprise. Ashlie hadn't even heard her walk up.

As Lisa Sat down she said the name of the game, "chutes and ladders!" As if no one could read the box on the table.

"aww cool!" Ashlie said as Tori pulled the lid off of the box.

Tori looked over to Lisa, "Ashlie asked how the sisters treat us! What do you say?" She said with a wink.

Lisa looked at Ashlie as she grabbed the game pieces out of the box and said "the sisters can be really Nice if you follow the rules."

Ashlie grabbed the piece she wanted to be and set it on the board, "what happens if you break the rules?" She asked.

Lisa and Tori looked at each other than to Ashlie. Lisa leaned in to talk a little softer, "that depends on what you did Ashlie...it could be writing sentences, extra cleaning duty's, or a spanking!"

Tori nodded in agreement, "don't forget the bar of soap for saying anything bad Lisa."as she rolled the dice to see how many moves she got.

Ashlie waited tell Tori moved her game piece, "spankings? Have you both been spanked?"  Ashlie asked as she took her turn rolling the dice.

"no" both girls said together. Tori added, "but Rhonda has a couple times."

Ashlie figured that must be a given with Rhonda, that girl was mean.

Tori cut Ashlie off of her conversion, "there going to be doing count soon, we should get back to are room."

Ashlie looked at the clock on the wall, "we just started playing?"

Lisa stood up and gathered up the game, "we have been down here for almost an hour. You don't want to miss count." She said as she closed the lid on the box.

The three girls stood up and Ashlie followed then back to the room to find the upper hallway was empty of students.

As they walked into there room each girl stood in front of there bed and Ashlie did the same to avoid standing out. Rhonda was awake and stood in silence wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"every day Ashlie we got to do this at four o'clock. They count us to make sure no one is missing." Said Lisa as she patted out a wrinkle in her jumper.

Ashlie looked at Lisa, "has anyone ever gone missing before?" She asked.
Rhonda answered for Lisa, "yeah someone has gone missing. Last year a girl ran away and told some crazy story about this place that wasn't true. Now we got to do count twice a day because of it."

Ashlie looked at the ground and thought of another question, "I think I heard something about that? It wasn't true?"

Rhonda laughed, "none of it was true. They don't beat us here our treat us to bad. She wanted out of here and to never come back so she made up some crazy story. She made a million dollars with the settlement."

Ashlie rolled her eyes, "there's no way she made a million dollars, don't be stupid. And besides that, haven't you been spanked before?"

Rhonda snapped at that statement, "she did to make a million dollars! and which one of you is talking about ME!" She Said as she pointed her finger from Tori to Lisa, "come on and tell me, or your both going to get it!"

Ashlie looked at both of the girls and seen there heads were looking down. She turned to Rhonda, "leave them alone."

Rhonda stood up as straight as possible and said, "make me!"

Ashlie shot back, "I don't make monkeys, I train them!" And both Lisa and Tori began laughing.

"SHUT UP!" Yelled Rhonda, which was enough to make them go silent. Rhonda looked at Ashlie, "how about this, I'm just going to take it all out on you new girl. This is my room and your not going to take it over!"

Ashlie shrugged, "OK? Do what you got to do." She wasn't scared of Rhonda or her threats. So the words that Rhonda said went in one ear and out the other.

All four girls looked towards the door when they heard sister Margaret yell, "girls! It's count time!" From down the hall.

They all stood straight up and at the foot of there beds, waiting for the sister to come to there room and count them.

After a couple of minutes of silence sister Margaret walked in with a clip board and counted the girls, "OK, you four can line up outside the door in the hall."

Rhonda walked out first with Tori and Lisa behind her. Ashlie felt bad for the girls and being afraid of such a bully. She walked out of the room and stood behind Lisa in what looked like a line of all the girls on the floor.

Ashlie moved out of line a little to see how many girls there actually were and yelped when she felt something hit her leg hard enough to sting.

"straight line child." Sister Margaret said as she guided Ashlie back in place with the end of a yard stick.

Ashlie rubbed her leg where the sister had whacked her and watched her do the same thing to another girl. The sister made her way to the front of the line and ordered the girls to walk to the dining hall for supper.

Ashlie felt stupid walking in line like some mindless slave on there way to the dinner hall, but she couldn't wait to get something to eat. She hadn't eaten all day.

All the girls sat down according to how they were in line and waited for the nuns to make there way around with the food.

Ashlie said her hellos to the other girls who where sitting around her at the table. They all were excited to see a new face amongst themselves and Ashlie found herself in the middle of a game of twenty questions until dinner was placed in front of her. The girls were all made to say grace before they were able to pick up there forks.

Ashlie looked at her plate and seen the meal was a piece of fish along with rice, beans and salad. She smelt it and her mouth instantly began to water. Ashlie picked up her fork and shoveled the food into her mouth as fast as she could.

The school food wasn't bad at all Ashlie thought as she finished her plate. She waited until the other girls were done and followed them to the window where the dirty trays go.

All the girls were ordered by the nuns to stand back in a straight line and go back to there rooms for reading time.

As Ashlie walked she couldn't help but think about her assignment. Her whole goal was to find something that points to abuse or neglect among the students, but it wasn't seeming like it was going to be that easy. The place was clean as a whistle and the food was to die for. It didn't seem like it was as bad as people thought.

The girls walked into there room and Ashlie noticed the three taking Bibles off of there night stands and laying on there beds. Ashlie looked to her night stand and didn't see one sitting on top.

"ahh...where do I get a book at?" Ashlie asked puzzled. She really had never been to church except for funerals and the whole point of religion seemed to be quiet a bore to her. She knew thou that if she wanted to fit in she would have to do what everyone else was doing.

"check your nightstand?" Said Tori as she opened the Bible and began to read.

Ashlie sat on her bed and noticed the crinkle sound again that she had heard earlier, but wrote it off as the mattress being old and cheap. She bounced up and down a couple times in place just to hear how noisy the crinkle really was before turning her attention back to the nightstand. She leaned over and pulled open the top drawer and her eyes widen with surprise at what she was seeing.

next to her underwear and socks were two stacks of training pants. Ashlie knew what they were from seeing them on a commercial and blankly said, "goodnites?"

"what did you say?" Lisa asked as she lowered her Bible.

Ashlie closed the drawer and said, "oh, I was just talking to myself."

Lisa smiled and went back to reading from the Bible.

Ashlie moved a little and heard the plastic sound again. Without causing a scene she bent down and acted like she was going to take off her shoes. She pulled up the blanket a little and seen that the bed had a rubber sheet on it. Ashlie didn't know what to think about both items but caught sight of her Bible under the bed.

She picked it up and opened the book and carefully sat on the bed to make as little noise as she could. Ashlie wasn't reading thou, her mind was else where. Sister Margaret had mentioned something about nite nite pants when Ashlie was shown her room, but Ashlie was thinking sweat pants, not training pants.

Ashlie looked to her new roommates and thought about saying something, but what held her back was the fear that maybe they didn't know they were there as well. "why were they there thou?" Ashlie pondered as she thought about it more.

She couldn't come up with any logical explication for them and decided to just put it out of her mind for now.

Ashlie laid back on the bed and looked through the Bible to see what all the fuss was about. She had met a few people in her time who swore there life to this book, but Ashlie never took the time to read it.

Ashlie decided she might as well do it right and start one page one. She laid on her bed and read about the start of the earth and all life this God had created. Ashlie took it in as a science fiction and soon pictured an all mighty monster creating life before resting in deep deep space.

Ashlie's attention was broken when the lights flashed on and off a couple times. She looked up from her book and seen that Lisa, Tori and Rhonda where setting there Bibles down on top of there night stands.

Tori looked over to Ashlie and smiled, "they do that to let you know reading time is over."

Ashlie closed her Bible and set it on the night stand, "what do we do now?"

Rhonda leaned up and stood with a stretch, "do we got to tell you everything?" She said.

Ashlie cowled, "its my first day here?"

Rhonda shook her head with annoyance, "want me to roll out the red carpet for you? Just do what everyone else is doing stupid!"

Ashlie was starting to get annoyed with Rhonda and her excessive know it all attitude, "well how em I suppose to know what everyone is doing?"

Rhonda snapped back, "by using your eyes dumb ass!"

Ashlie had enough of Rhonda's foolishness, "I'm not going to talk to you!" She said

Rhonda, being childish crossed her arms, "well I'm not talking to you either!" And walked out of the room.

Ashlie shook her head. She knew some stubborn people but kids were the worse when it came to it.

Ashlie looked over to Tori and Lisa and said, "where did she go?"

Tori got up, "to the bathroom, same place I'm going."

"me to!" Said Lisa before walking to the door and turning to Ashlie, "need to go potty? Its lights out in thirty minutes."

Ashlie shook her head no, "I'm fine, thanks." She wasn't about to go to the bathroom with a bunch of girls half her real age.

Lisa smiled, "well OK, and so you don't have to ask Rhonda, the sisters like us to keep the nighties in the second drawer down. OK, we'll be right back!" She said as she grabbed Tori's arm and pulled her out of the room.

Ashlie waited a couple of second before racing to her nightstand and flinging the second drawer open wide. She grabbed the nightie from the drawer and pulled the jumper from her head. She unbuttoned her white shirt and dropped it to floor before pulling the nighty over her head.

Ashlie frowned at the sight of the childish night gown and after she took her shoes and tights off noticed it stopped just above her knees. It felt good though to have the thick tights off. Ashlie stretched her legs and crawled onto her bed to think.

A couple minutes later the three roommates had come back to the room and started getting ready for bed.

Ashlie turned her head away as she noticed they were undressing. She looked outside and seen that the sun had already set behind the city buildings.

It had been her first day undercover and it didn't seem as bad as she thought it was going to be. The next step for her was to gather evidence and wait to be saved.

Ashlie glanced over and seen the girls were dressed for bed and settling in. She laid her head on the pillow and looked up at the ceiling for some piece of mind.

"Ashlie miller?" Came a woman's voice from the door way.

Ashlie looked over and seen it was sister Margaret, "yes sister Margaret." Ashlie said in drawn out almost whine.

The sister walked over to Ashlie's bed and the three girls watched to see what was going on.

"did you remember to put on your nite nite pants?" The sister said as she stood above Ashlie.

Ashlie went white with humiliation, "I..I..I did remember?" She said not knowing what to say, being put on the spot.

The sister bent over a bit and pulled up the hem of Ashlie's nighty to check for herself. Something Ashlie didn't expect or count on.

"Ashlie miller! You know your suppose to wear them to bed! You do at home and you will here as well!" The sister scolded as she pulled Ashlie to her feet.

"I don't wet the bed!" Ashlie said as the sister let go of her arm.

"that's not what your mother said child, and who's word em I going to take?" Sister Margaret said as she opened the top drawer of the nightstand and pulled out a pair of training pants.

Ashlie watched the sister unfold open the goodnites and give them a stretch to loosen the stretchy sides. She looked down to Ashlie from her height advantage and said, "now Ashlie, pull down your undies and lets get this over with."

Ashlie didn't move, "I'm telling you, I don't wet the bed!" She protested to the sister.

Sister Margaret took Ashlie's words for those of a child who was embarrassed of wetting the bed and spoke softly, "Ashlie dear, its nothing to be embarrassed about. A lot of kids your age still wet the bed. I will make a deal with you, you wear them for a week and stay dry all night for those seven days and than you won't have to wear then anymore. Sound good?"

Ashlie felt like she was going to cry. There was going to be no other option than to wear them thanks to Sarah's lie. Ashlie lowered her head in shame, "sounds fair...." She mumbled.

The sister lowered to one knee and pulled Ashlie's panties down with one smooth tug, "legs." She said as she held the training pants open by Ashlie's feet.

Ashlie felt a tear roll down her cheek as she stepped into the leg holes of the goodnite and sister Margaret pulled it up her legs and into place.

The goodnite was a little big on Ashlie and the waistband rode high above her bellybutton. Even thou they felt somewhat like underwear, the bulky padding made it so Ashlie couldn't fully close her legs.

"OK, get in bed." Sister Margaret said as she slapped Ashlie's now padded rear end. Which made a loud muffled thump sound as her hand connected with the rear padding of the training pants.

Ashlie climbed on the bed and looked at the ceiling, unable to talk in fear that she might start crying as sister Margaret pulled the covers over Ashlie.

The sister turned around and saw the three girls watching and said, "mind your own." As she signaled for then to lay down.

The sister walked out of the room saying, "good night girls."as she left.

The room was silent until the lights turned off and that's when Rhonda gave out a little chuckle.

"what's so funny!" Ashlie said, for she knew Rhonda was laughing at her.

In the darkness of the room Rhonda said, "well....at least you got your dignity!" And she began laughing at Ashlie.

Once again, Tori and Lisa kept quiet. To afraid to stand up to Rhonda and her bullyness.

Ashlie didn't bother fighting with Rhonda, instead she laid eyed open and looking at the ceiling above her.  To humiliated to even speak or fight.

As she looked up she reflected on her job. Thinking was this whole mess really worth it? She never accounted for the fact she might be treated as a child when going along with Mr. Richards plan. Never in her life would she have let someone treat her this way, let along with the fact she was twenty two and forced to wear a pair of training pants to bed by someone who saw her only as a child.

Ashlie sighed, this next two weeks were going to suck. Ashlie closed her eyes and tried to think of something else, anything she could to make herself fall sleep.

Ashlie jumped alive when she felt someone jump on top of her in the middle of the night, but found she was unable to get up. She went to open her mouth to yell but someone had cover her mouth. Ashlie's eyes fought against the darkness to see who it was, but already knew out could only be one possible person. Rhonda.

Ashlie against all her struggling found it useless and stopped fighting. She looked up at Rhonda, breathing heavily and found her true enemy.

Rhonda leaned over a bit on top of Ashlie and whispered, "your going to wet the bed no matter what it takes." As she pushed on Ashlie's bladder with her other hand.

Ashlie tried to fight it again as she felt the pressure grow on her bladder. The more Ashlie moved the more her bladder felt the urge to let go.

Rhonda kept a hand over Ashlie's mouth while using her own body to keep Ashlie in place. She kept jabbing Ashlie in the bladder while saying, "come on, just go. I know you have to. Come on, just a little push...here!" And Rhonda pushed hard on Ashlie and Ashlie tried to scream and her bladder failed her and let loose.

Ashlie tried to scream as she felt her bladder release into the goodnite, but was unable to do so, to her mouth being covered by Rhonda's hand.

Ashlie could fell the padding of the training pants soak up the urine and expand against her skin as she went pee. Soon the bulky pee soaked material had tripled in size and  Molding itself against ever part of her lower body.

Ashlie felt the tears well up in her eyes and was unable to do anything about it. Her tears became a soft sob as Rhonda patted the goodnite with her hand and said, "as long as your in my room your going to be a bed wetter. Your not going to tell on me for this or I'm going to make your life a living hell. You got that!"

Ashlie was openly crying and nodded her head OK, unable to speak.

Rhonda pushed on Ashlie's face harder with her hand, "I'm going to take my hand away and climb back into bed, you better not make a noise. Not a single sound when I do our else..." She said before removing her hand from Ashlie's face and climbing off of Ashlie.

Silent as could be, Rhonda slipped back into her own bed and left Ashlie to cry to herself.

Ashlie was now mortified of Rhonda. She had proven herself to be a little more than intimidating than Ashlie had thought she really was and who knew how far she would sink to get even if Ashlie told on her.

Ashlie laid in bed crying to herself. She was a woman. This shouldn't be happing to her. She shouldn't be afraid of a twelve year old and crying because she was forced to wet the bed by a bully. Ashlie closed her eyes and wept until she fell back to sleep

I'

A step to far.

                     A STEP TO FAR.
                                 By J.S doom

        Chapter one: the perfect story.

Usually the board meeting were quiet boring. Filled with what stories the reporters were going to cover and the politics of the news paper hierarchy. Today thou, was a special day for Ashlie Silva. She had never landed a prime spot news story or was given a chance to, but the story that was handed down to her from her boss had the stench of top story written all over it.

"what you are saying miss Silva, is that you want to go under cover for two weeks?...and you want ME? ME! Out of all people to set it up for you?" Barked Mr. Richards as he glared at Ashlie sitting in the oversized chair across from him.

Ashlie didn't know what to say. She thought it was a good idea and had no way of knowing that the chief of the news station would react the way he had. Ashlie tried to sit up, looking as professional as she could, "SIR! I assure you I thought it was a good sounding idea when I came up with it. I never meant to offend you and..." Ashlie was saying before being cut off rudely by her boss.

"wow just wait a second!" Mr. Richards said as he pulled both his hands up for Ashlie to stop talking, "I never said it was a bad idea! Its an amazing idea! Just up to the part where you want me to set it up." He Said as he leaned back on his leather office chair.

He hit the button on his intercom and said "Janice, why don't you get ahold of Sarah for me and tell her I want her in my office NOW! Not yesterday, TODAY!"

Ashlie frowned when she heard Mr. Richard's ask for Sarah. They have never gotten along and both had it out for each other since a very drunk office party a few years back.

Ashlie smiled big when Mr. Richards stopped talking into the intercom and crossed his arms as he leaned back, "I don't do foot work for people Ashlie, but I do have people who do it for me. So how long were you thinking about doing this?" He said with a half smile.

Ashlie relaxed a little and said, "well I was thinking I would just need a week or two? The school has speculations of abuse and corporal punishment that have gone un-investigated for years now. All I need to do its get the proof...."

"and you'll be able to blow the cap off of that school and catch them in the act. Brilliant!" Mr. Richards said as he clapped his hands together and stood up. He walked over to his window and looked out, "this is the kind of journalism people love for miss Silva. Its ground breaking, raw, and.....I can see the head lines now, reporter goes undercover as student and teaches the teachers a lesson. Smashing story Ashlie!"

Ashlie began to feel the courage and inspiration that her boss was was perspiring after each new thought he came up with. Ashlie leaned forward and felt good about herself. If the boss was happy, so was she.

Mr. Richards and Ashlie's attention was drawn to the door as it clicked open and Sarah walked in. "you call for me sir?" She said as she stood in place and caught sight of Ashlie.

Mr. Richards wasted no time on informing Sarah what he needed and what was suspected of her, "Sarah, you know Ashlie Silva here. Well she came up with a good idea and I want you to make it happen."

Sarah barely got out an OK before Mr. Richards continued, "I need you to enroll Ashlie here into the saint Marys academy for girls as a new student!"

Ashlie nearly jumped up out of her seat! She thought she made it clear she was going under cover as a teacher and not a student. Ashlie spoke up with a nervous pitch in her voice, "Aw...Mr. Richards? I thought I could enroll as a teacher?"

Richards looked at Ashlie, "teacher? Naw, they will see that coming a mile away. Your going undercover as a student. Plus your built for the part."

Ashlie new exactly why he added that last part. She was indeed the shortest woman in the office, standing at four feet and seven inches tall. She also had a youthful complexion and voice that screamed for everyone to question her about her age.

"you OK with that right? Or should we just scrap this story?" Mr. Richards said.

Ashlie didn't want to loose the story and nodded OK in silence.

Mr. Richards turned back to Sarah, "OK, where was I.." He said as he paused to rethink his words.

Sarah looked at Ashlie while reminding Mr. Richards, "you were saying enroll Ashlie into the saint Marys academy for girls, sir." She smartly said.

"right! OK, so enroll Ashlie as a student, get it set up so she starts school this next Monday." He replied back to Sarah.

Sarah looked at Ashlie and they locked eyes for a brief second. The moment was one they both understood but it went unsaid. They hated each other and now it seemed Sarah was the one who was going to be on top. Sending Ashlie off into what possibly could be a humiliating situation.

Sarah looked to Mr. Richards, "what grade is Ashlie going into?"

Mr. Richards looked at Ashlie puzzled, "what are you doing after this meeting miss Silva?" He asked as he flipped through a black book with numbers on his desk.

Ashlie without thinking Said, "nothing..."

Richards wrote down an address and handed it to Ashlie, "OK, go to this address and they will take Care of you. When there done they will send me a photo and I will give it to Sarah."
Richards looked at Sarah, "you'll know what grade when you get the photo, than do what I told you." Richards looked at both off the woman, "OK, go now! I got to make a call."

Ashlie stood up and followed Sarah out into the hall, closing the office door behind her. As they walked towards the elevator Ashlie cleared her throat and said, "Sarah I didn't want to go to school as a student, sooo if you could not tell anyone about this..." Ashlie said trying to be Nice about the whole ordeal.

Sarah moved the hair out of her face, "now why would I do that? Besides, after your amazing story comes out...everyone will know that you were enrolled as a student."

Ashlie didn't think of that and as she played with the idea back and forth in her head, she hit the button on the elevator. Ashlie looked at Sarah and sighed. Sarah was a constant reminder of every thing Ashlie wasn't. She was tall and even thou Ashlie was busty, Sarah had a pair that just drew men towards her.

As the elevator door opened a man walked out and both women walked in. Ashlie hit the ground floor button and as the door closed she said, "Sarah, you better not screw me over any way on this assignment. There's allot riding on this for me."

Sarah laughed, "so that's what you think of me?"

Ashlie wasn't smiling, "yes that its what I think of you. We have never been close and I can see you doing something to ruin it for me."

Sarah got serious, "listen here girly! I indeed don't like you and despite are differences I won't ruin your stupid story. That doesn't mean thou that I'm going to make it easy for you. You do know that the saint Marys academy for girls still uses spanking as a valid punishment for stepping out of line?"

Ashlie butted in, "yeah I do, so? Are you making a threat?"

The elevator chimed and the door opened. As the women stepped out Sarah looked down to Ashlie from her natural height advantage, "Ashlie, I don't make threats. Now go do what ever Mr. Richards wanted you to do. I will be waiting for that picture." With that said Sarah walked off towards a hallway lined with offices.

Ashlie watched her walk off and fumed at their conversation. "I don't make threats..." Ashlie said to herself as she walked to the front lobby, "who does she think she is talking to me like that."

Once Ashlie walked outside of the news station, she flagged down a taxi and gave the man the address Mr. Richards had given her.

The drive was a little longer than Ashlie had expected and the building she arrived at was not even close to what she visioned. It was somewhat run down and in the less desirable part of town. She got out of the back seat and paid the fair to the driver before walking up to the front door of the building. She rang the door bell and waited for an answer.

A couple of minutes went by and there was no answer. Ashlie looked at the address on the paper and matched out to the building she was standing at. It was the same address as the one on the paper. She reached out and tried the door handle and found the door was unlocked. She carefully walked into the building and seen that it was some sort of costume shop.

"HELLO!" Ashlie called out as she walked further into the shop. Stopping every couple of feet to look at something that would catch her eye.

"over here." Came a mans voice, from a corner where there seemed to be well lit. 

Ashlie followed the light and came to an area where a man and woman stood along an assortment of makeup stations.

"you must be miss Silva? My name is Carson, and this is my wife Erica." The man said as he extended his hand out for a polite handshake.

Ashlie excepted his hand in hers, "my names Ashlie, Nice to meet you two." She said as she waved to Erica with her other hand.

Erica smiled, "so how do you know Toby?"

Ashlie paused before speaking, "Toby? Oh, Mr. Richards? He's my boss."

Carson nodded in approval, "we have known him for years. Good man. He has helped us out plenty of times, so when he called and Said you would coming to see us, we came straight to the shop."

"yeah he really didn't give me much time to prepare myself as well. He handed me a piece of paper with the address and said go there, or I mean here? So what is this place?" Ashlie said as she looked around.

Carson walked over to a table, "we specialize in Hollywood makeup and costumes. Were the top dogs in are business you might say."

Erica followed up, "Toby got ahold of us and asked of are assistance in given you a makeover because he knows are work speaks for itself."

Ashlie smiled, "well its good to know that I'm in good hands. Did he tell you what my assignment is?"

Both Carson and Erica nodded yes. Carson pulled out a rolling chair, "he told us you will be going undercover as student. Sounds exciting!"

Ashlie walked to the chair and sat down, "yeah it does." She said as she felt Erica grab the back of the chair and spin her away from any mirrors.

Erica stood in front of Ashlie and took Ashlie's head in her hands, "Toby gave us exact details of what he expected from us, and by the looks of it, it shouldn't be to hard."

"well good." Ashlie said as she moved her head along with Erica's hands.

Carson couldn't be seen but Ashlie could hear him talk, "honey, you start on the makeup and hair and I will go find some clothes."

Erica turned to Carson and said, "OK" than looked Ashlie in the face, "I'm a makeup and hair specialist, so don't worry. your in good hands."

Ashlie didn't say anything as Erica began to remove her makeup with cleaner. It actually felt kind of relaxing, having someone else take care of her for the brief moment.

Erica told Ashlie, "I'm going to start with your hair first than I will go back to your makeup. The hair is going to be the part that pulls everything together."

Ashlie didn't answer as Erica started brushing out her jet black hair, but found herself a bit nervous when she heard the clip of scissors. Ashlie found herself about to protest the hair cut but figured it must be important if it pulled the hole disguise together. The hair cut itself took almost an hour, and half way through that Carson came back with a bundle of clothes.

"how's it going?" Carson asked as he walked up to Erica.

Erica stood back to show Carson her progress, "It's coming along better than I thought dear. I did the same hair cut as I gave Candice's daughter." She said as she nodded in approval at her own handy skills.

Carson was nodding to himself, "you are a master honey." He said before patting Erica on the shoulder and walking away.

Ashlie didn't have access to a mirror and couldn't see her new hair cut, "is it done?" Ashlie asked as she tried to stand up.

Erica pushed her back into the seat, "almost done, just need to fix the front." She Said as she grabbed the scissors once again. Ashlie closed her eyes as Erica brushed out her hair in the front and began sniping away.

After ten minutes, Erica stopped and clipped two things into Ashlie's hair. Ashlie opened her eyes and let out a breath. "just need to do the makeup than you can try out the new clothes." Erica said as she grabbed a little kit.

Erica sat down in a chair next to Ashlie and began to apply a small amount of makeup. The last couple of minutes of Erica, Ashlie could feel her apply little pokes to the bridge of her nose and cheeks, before sliding on some fake trendy reading glasses.

"all done! CARSON! Your up!" Yelled Erica across the shop.

Ashlie stood up and stretched her body out. It felt good to get out of the makeup chair. Ashlie was about to turn around when Carson got her attention.

"OK Ashlie, take these and go try them on." Carson said as he handed Ashlie A pile of clothes.

Ashlie excepted the pile of clothes, "where should I change?" She said as she thumbed through the bundle.

Carson pointed to a make shift dress room that looked more like a closet with a curtain than anything, "the dress room is right there. Make sure to try everything on Ashlie. Its important as to not giving yourself away while undercover."

Ashlie shrugged and nodded OK as she walked into the dressing room. She really hadn't the time to think about the role she was going to be playing since she got shut down on the teacher part in exchange for the role of a student. It really never hit Ashlie until she closed the curtain of the dressing room. She was going back to school as a student!

Ashlie dropped the bundle of clothes onto a chair and let out a breath. She hadn't even thought about the fact she was going to be going to school with a bunch of kids half her age.

Ashlie unbuttoned her silk blouse and hung it over the back of the chair. She slipped off her dress and folded it up. Ever since she could remember she had a fine taste for Nice clothes. Even her panty hose screamed that of high quality. Ashlie stripped them off her legs and laid them over the blouse on the chair.

Ashlie grabbed the clothes and opened the bundle. The first thing she noticed were the bra and panties sitting on top. Ashlie held up the panties and rolled her eyes. They looked ridiculous! Full cut cotton panties, littered with designs of flowers.

Ashlie shook her head in disbelief as she pulled down her underwear and stepped onto the childish under garment. She pulled the panties up and was amazed yet at the same time disappointed that they fit just right.

Next came the bra Carson had supplied. It was nothing close to flattering like the bra she was wearing now. Ashlie unhooked her bra and pulled it away from her breast. Letting her D cups breath for a quick second before pulling the new bra over her head. After the bra was brought down into place, Ashlie found out it was quiet restrictive. After a closer inspection Ashlie frowned. The bra was a training bra and smashed her breast tight against herself, giving the appearance that she had smaller budding breast.

She grabbed the two remaining articles of clothing that weren't socks and shoes and decided to go with the shirt first.

Quickly Ashlie pulled the shirt over her head and after made fast work with the pants. She sat on the chair and pulled the socks on, before sliding her feet into the pink and white shoes. She stood up and twisted her body around to get a more comfy fit before stopping and looking down at her shirt.

Ashlie caught sight of it at first when unfolding the shirt but didn't pay any attention to the design on the front until now. It was the main characters from a show called "lazy town." Which had a taller guy with a ridiculous mustache, a younger girl with bright pink hair and three of their friends whom were muppets.

Ashlie pinched her nose in frustration. The first rule for anyone who is petite, is to avoid clothes with large designs because they make you look that much smaller. The shirt alone had extra large print and for sure was a kids show, so there was no denying the childish appearance it would have on an actual adult who was small.

Ashlie decided it was best to just bear with it and flung the curtain open for Carson and Erica to see. As Ashlie stepped out both of there jaws dropped.

"well this do?" Ashlie asked as she turned around for them to see.

Carson was first to speak, "you don't even look the same as when you came in! Amazing! OK, let me get a photo to send Toby." He said as he turned side to side looking for his cell phone.

Erica put her hands on her hips and smiled, "your going to fool everyone Ashlie. You don't look anything close to what you did when you came here."
Ashlie stopped and posed as Carson held up his phone and took a couple pictures to send to Mr. Richards, "do you think I can see myself now?" Ashlie asked as Carson snapped picture after picture.

Erica walked over to the mirror and waved for Ashlie to come, "your going to be amazed!" She said as she waited for Ashlie.

As Ashlie stepped in front of the mirror she felt like she was going to puke. The person staring back at her looked nothing like the formal adult she was. The person staring back was a little girl.

Ashlie took it all in at once. Her hair had been cut into a fashionable A-line along with bangs that rode straight above her eye brows. There had been two small bows placed in her hair along with glasses on her face. Her makeup was next none, except for some blush and dots that looked like freckles along her cheeks and nose. To top out off she had been given the most childish outfit Carson could find. Ashlie didn't feel the person looking back was her at all, but some kind of altered existence.

"what do you think?" Erica asked as she leaned against the table.

Ashlie fought for words but found them, "I think you guys did amazing? I don't even recognize myself..."she said as she touched a freckle.

"that won't come off for about a month!" Laughed Erica, "there built to last. Now what I did was a deep face cleaner to bring out your youthful radiance, semi permanent freckles with a new product and the hair cut of course."

Ashlie looked at herself in the mirror and didn't feel to confident with how good of a they had done, "wow...I look young?" She said in an unsure tone.

Carson interrupted, "that's what Toby said for us to do. Make you look as young as possible. OK, I got those photos sent off. Now is there anything else you need us to help out with?" Carson said as he began to pack up his belongings.

Ashlie forced a smile, "no I'm good, thank you Carson and Erica for all your help. I'm sure going to fool everyone with this disguise." She said trying to be as polite as possible.

Carson and Erica waved goodbye to Ashlie and she made her way out of the building.

Out on the street Ashlie waited for a taxi but wasn't having much success. She kept waving then down and they just wouldn't stop. It took her close to 15 minutes before a yellow and black taxi stopped for her.

"just you, or is one of your parents coming?" The taxi driver said as Ashlie climbed into the back seat.

Ashlie closed the door, "I'm 22 sir, this is a costume. take me to 23th and Grande please."

The driver didn't drive off and turned in his seat, "no patents huh? Costume? Do you have some identification?"

Ashlie sighed as she pulled out her wallet, "how old do you think I em?" She asked jokingly.

The driver looked her over, "I would say not a day over twelve." He said before grabbing the identification card from Ashlie. He looked it over than handed out back, "sorry miss. 23rd and Grande you said?"

Ashlie tucked her identification back into her purse and said "yes please." before looking through her purse for her cell phone.

As the taxi driver drove down the street Ashlie made a call, "Mr. Richards? Yes its Ashlie. Did you get the pictures?" She said as she looked out the window.

Mr. Richards on the other end of the line seemed to be alive with excitement, "yes! Wonderful job they did on you. I already gave the photo to Sarah and she's going to take Care of the rest. Ashlie, I wasn't you to take the rest of the week off and do what you need to do to make sure everything is covered on your end for the next couple of weeks. I will call you Friday and tell you what's going on." He said with joy.

Ashlie replied, "take the week off?"

"yes, with pay off course." He chimed back.

Ashlie nodded to herself. It didn't sound so bad, "OK sir, I will get everything set up on my end and I will be waiting on your call Friday." She said before hanging up.

The taxi had stopped at a light and she noticed a public school. She shuddered at the thought of having to go back to school, it didn't sound to appealing to her.

The light changed green and the taxi drove off, she watch the school leave her sight. She thought about how the next two weeks were going to be and thought it might be a good idea to pick up on how's kids were acting these days. It couldn't hurt to be prepared for what laid ahead of her.

The taxi driver arrived at 23rd and Grande and Ashlie got out, before going into her apartment complex.

Ashlie arrived at her apartment and called out for her roommate, "Lesli? Are you home?"

Leslie called from down the hall, "I'm in my room!"

Ashlie nervously walked down the hall until she got to Leslie's door and stop. She didn't want her best friend to see her this way but knew it was going to have to happen no matter what at some time.

Ashlie walked into the doorway and right away Leslie began uncontrollably laughing and rolling around on the bed. It took Leslie almost a solid two minutes before she caught her breath enough to ask, "why are you looking like that? You look so stinking cute!"

Ashlie leaned up against the wall and told Leslie about her assignment at the news station and this is how she needed to look while going undercover.

"awwwwww you look adorable! I just want to tickle you every where and take you out for ice cream!" Leslie joked.

Ashlie laughed through the teasing. She had always had Leslie to count on and no matter what they were friends to the end. "that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Ashlie said half jokingly, seeing the response it would get out of her life long friend.

Leslie was laying down on her bed and leaned up, "awwww, does my widdle girl want to go get a treat! Maybe get a new dolly!" She joked.

Ashlie shrugged, "never mind." And was in the middle of turning around when Leslie stopped her.

"lets go do dinner Ashlie! On me. The only thing is you got to go dressed just the way you are!" Leslie said as she stood up and grabbed her purse.

Ashlie had all ready planned on going out to see how good her disguise really was, but the factor was with whom it would be. Now it was settled. 
Ashlie grabbed a jacket and as they were walking towards the front door Leslie stopped in place and asked, "what do you weigh?" With such excitement that she thrown out her hands to her sides and slapped her outer thighs.

Ashlie turned and looked up at Leslie, "I don't know, about 100 pounds? 95 one a good day?"

Leslie bent over and laughed out loud. She cupped her hands to her mouth and giggled, "do you think Mrs. Myers next door will let us borrow a booster seat for the car!"

Ashlie winced, "I'm not sitting in a booster seat. Not today, not ever Leslie."

Leslie was still laughing as she reached for the door knob, "it's the law Ashlie! Children under 4'9 and hundred pounds must sit in a booster seat." Teased Leslie as she pulled open the door.

As they stepped out into the hall Ashlie said, "not going to happen." And closed the door behind her.

The place Leslie had chosen was rather mid-scale, not too fancy, but not just fast food, and there was A lot of kids around.

Ashlie and Leslie waited for a waitress to escort them to there table and Ashlie took note of how people were treating her in her new disguise.

The waitress right off the bat had bent over and pinched Ashlie on the cheek while saying, "she's so cute!" To Leslie.

Leslie had taken the compliment and rolled with it, saying "yeah she is! I always wanted to enroll her in a dance class but they didn't offer ballet at the dance studio up town."

The waitress smiled and lead the two to there table, before setting two menus down in front of them.

The waitress looked at Leslie and asked, "the table seems a little high? Should I get a booster seat?"

Before Leslie could answerer Ashlie flat out said, "no...I don't need a booster seat." To the waitress.

The waitress smiled at Ashlie and replied, "OK honey, I will give you two a couple minutes to figure out what you want." Than walked off to help another table.

Ashlie looked at Leslie who was smiling and asked, "what's so funny?"

Leslie pointed down to her menu and Ashlie looked down at hers. The waitress had given Ashlie a plastic covered Child's menu. Ashlie took one look at it and knew her disguise worked. The waitress was use to seeing kids and couldn't tell Ashlie was really an adult.

Leslie let out a laugh, "what are you going to get honey? They got grilled cheese and Fry's." She joked as she pointed to the meal on Ashlie's Child's menu.

Ashlie looked up and said, "it worked! The waitress couldn't tell I'm an adult!" With much excitement.

Leslie was looking over her menu and replied, "wasn't that the point?"

Ashlie looked around the room and back to Leslie, "yeah that is the point. I have to pass as a student for this story to work out right."

Leslie set down her menu and looked at her friend, "Ashlie, I can barely tell that your an adult, and that's because we've been friends forever. If I didn't know you I would have sworn that your just some little girl. Even if you told someone your an adult, I drought they would even believe you."

Ashlie looked down for a second than up to Leslie, "wanna bet?"

Leslie leaned a little closer and said, "bet what?"

Ashlie smile smugly, "I'm going to tell the waitress that I'm an adult and I want a real menu. If she brings me one than after we leave her you buy me something to drink."

Leslie half closed one eye and said, "and if she doesn't bring you the menu?"

Ashlie quickly replied, "than I will let you pick something for us to do while I'm dress like this."

Leslie looked back at her menu and said, "deal. No going back on it!"

Ashlie was about to speak when the waitress walked back up and asked, "all ready to order?"

Ashlie pushed the Child's menu aside and Said, "I'm 22 years old and would like an adult menu please."

The waitress looked at Ashlie, "that's Nice honey, but it's going to be cheaper ordering off the Child's menu." Before looking to Leslie and asking, "Do you need a little more time?"

"She's just so stubborn," Leslie shook her head. "She just wants to be so grown up already."

"I'm 22!" Ashlie protested, a little louder than she'd intended. "I can legally drink," she said a little quieter, sulking.

"Oh, really?" Leslie called her bluff,  "why don't you order a drink than?"

Ashlie's stomach churned, suddenly feeling a little ill, at this test. "Well, I..I....got my..." Ashlie looked for her purse and wallet and realized it must have been in the car.

The waitress looked at Ashlie, "honey you can't drink. Your to young."

"I uh.." she squirmed uncomfortably, knowing that if she claimed she forgot her purse and identification, the waitress would assume she was just making excuses.

Ashlie looked away, bottom lip quivering ever so slightly as she fought to maintain her composure. "Could I just get some chicken tenders?" she asked the waitress.

"Sure," the woman nodded, writing that down. "Children's chicken finger meal... And I'll bring you a booster seat, hon, so you don't have to be even with the table."

"No, I don't..." Ashlie protested, but she was already gone. She turned back to Leslie, who was giggling proudly. "Okay, Leslie, very funny, but that's enough, okay?"

"I was just having a little fun, Ashlie," Leslie said. "Sorry but it looks like you lost the bet! And the booster seat isn't part of the deal so it doesn't count towards my pick. "

"Well, could you please stop leading the waitress on?" she requested. "we will both agree that this disguise worked a little to well. Its starting to give me the creeps how people are treating me. I'm an adult."

"Oh, don't worry," Leslie told her, "I still know your an adult, the babysitter might not, but I do and that's all that's counts." She broke down into laughter that only got louder at Ashlie's look of indignation. "I'm joking! Calm down! I will be good from now on, okay?"

"Thank you," Ashlie said stiffly, not finding this at all funny, but more so a shock that people did see her as a child. True to Leslie's word, she stayed polite as they waited for their food, though Leslie did burst into laughter again when the waitress brought out their drinks and a bright yellow booster seat.

"I really don't need it..." Ashlie tried to protest, but the waitress shooed her off of the chair and set it down, for Ashlie to sit on.

"there you go honey! Now you can see your food when it comes." Said the waitress as she pushed Ashlie's chair to the table.

Ashlie wasn't so sure about that, but she did have to admit that, hard plastic or not, it was still more comfortable than not able to see her food, and higher, too, helping her to feel more adult about the situation.

As they left the meal behind them and got into the car, Ashlie asked, "so what are we doing know?" Knowing that Leslie hadn't forgotten the bet.

Leslie fired up her car and said, "going home? As for the bet, forget about it. Seeing you sit in the booster seat was good enough for me." With that said they both headed home.

The next day Ashlie paid her bills over the phone and made sure there want anything she needed to do over the next two weeks. After everything was done she just hung out and watched television up until the phone rang.

"hello? Ashlie speaking." She said as she answered.

"good I caught you Ashlie!" Mr. Richards excitedly said, "well looks like tomorrow morning there coming to pick you up. You need to be at Sarah Millers house before 8 o' clock."

Ashlie looked at the clock, it was already nine at night, "I thought I was going to be starting Monday?" She said not understanding why it was going to happen earlier than expected.

Mr Richards explained, "they go by what day you enroll. We didn't know that and now there coming first thing in the morning to get you. Ashlie make sure your there." Than he just hung up.

Ashlie hung up the phone and looked at the clock. She had to go to bed, But first she needed to shower and shave. She didn't know if the school would allow the students razors and she didn't want to have hairy legs.

Ashlie showered and shaved off every hair from her neck down. After she dried off, she looked at herself in the mirror and wanted to cry. with the exception of her large breast, she looked like a younger girl. Nothing like she did twenty four hours ago.

Ashlie got dressed and climbed into bed. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.
