@HyperShark when I saw this story changed on your list I was so happy that I almost started writing a continuation short story there and then. Now I have to figure out how to move this to the completed thread.

Well I'm afraid this is the final part of this story with 305 pages, 145K words and a little over a year to write, I can say that I am mostly happy with my first ever story. @HyperShark I look forward to seeing this story being changed from "In Progress" to "Finished" :D *** Part 34 Welcome Home Rose was taken to what was commonly known as an interview room but Rose knew from television it was just another name for an interrogation room, just like all the shows she had watched Rose was forced to sit there in the room all alone for two hours before another soul entered the room, the female Amazon started with Roses full name and continued “May I call you Rose?” Rose raised her head from the table she had been resting it on to see who that familiar voice belonged to “We…” Rose was going to say Wendys name but was cut off “We don't know each other, no” she said in a voice like this was a question she got asked a lot and she sat down on the opposite chair facing Rose. Rose knew that her girlfriend worked at a transport terminal but not this one let alone why she was pretending to not know her but Rose got with the program “I was going to ask when you were going to return my new Little" said Rose putting on an aggravated tone "As my section leader told you, we have had a report that the Little that accompanied you was taken from another Amazon here before your departure, we have finished speaking to this person now we need to get your story" Rose heard the extra touch Wendy added to "story" almost like she was telling Rose to make something up, thankfully Rose had had plenty of time to think while she had been kept waiting and so she told a tale of how she had been told how there was the perfect Little for her in that particular dimension and where to find them only for her to return and be accused of Little napping by an ex colleague that she used to work with. Wendy nodded her head as she clicked off the recorder “Please wait here" Wendy said and walked out leaving Rose alone once more. Fifteen minutes later Wendy returned with David and a fellow guard carrying something in his arms, Rose looked again and saw the thing in her arms was a sleeping Emy “What did you do to her?” asked Rose rushing out of her chair to check on Emy “Please sit back down miss, the Little is simply asleep” Rose reluctantly sat back down on her chair but didn't take her eyes off Emy “Mr King please take a seat” the smug looking Dave took the seat opposite Rose so they were facing each other, both Wendy and the unknown guard sat next to each other in the middle “Now we have heard both sides of what has been happening...” Rose briefly wondered what David had told Wendy “And if true these are serious crimes…” Rose really hoped whatever plan Wendy was playing would work because if it didn't she wasn't going to have much freedom for a very long time and all the truth and proof for that matter was on Daves side, Rose was technically guilty but surely the universe would cut her a break after all she had changed her ways and did it all to help her Little “And it would seem there is a simple way to check the validity of both sides, Mr King did you chip your Little?” the smug smile on Dave's face grow larger “I did” he said looking directly into Roses eyes, Rose did start to panic then, "what the heck is Wendy thinking, she knows that Emy has been chipped" "By scanning the Little we can sort out all this out, do you agree Mr King?" "Definitely" he replied "And you Rose?" asked Wendy, Rose was very hesitant to agree and it showed in her voice "I… guess" Wendy nodded "Good, Aden please scan the Little for an identification chip" said Wendy. The Amazon named Aden pulled out his phone with his free hand and brought it closer to Emy, Rose thought her heart was going to beat out of her chest the closer Aden brought the phone to her Little. The phone touched the Littles back and it seemed the entire room held it's breath as the device scanned for the identification chip that would change everything for Rose. The phone cherpped to alert it's user that the result of the scan was ready, bringing the phone to his eyes Aden opened his mouth to tell the room it's results "The result is… no chip found" Rose let out the painful breath she wasn't even aware she had been holding, not even considering how it was possible that the chip was not found "That can't be" Dave slammed his hand on the table "Scan again, that Little belongs to Artic labs" the shock and anger in his voice was clear as day "Sir are you questioning the findings of the transport authority?" asked Wendy no longer hiding her annoyance at the man who had annoyed her girlfriend for all these months "No but…" he tried "This Little is not currently owned by any Amazon and as the one who brought her here I am placing Rose…" the next word was lost to Dave's outburst "Your working together aren't you?" Aden finally spoke up "Sir I suggest that you hold your tongue, you have already accused this woman of a truly unthinkable crime in submitting this false report and now you are questioning the integrity of an officer that has been working this job since her first work experience, I suggest you hold your tongue before you receive more than a fine" Rose beamed at both Aden and Wendy "But… no…" Dave was clearly lost for words "Miss Colleen's please show mr King the door and come back after you are finished '' Wendy gave a quick nod and led Dave out of the room. Rose didn't think her smile could be any bigger, after Wendy had taken Dave out the door Aden moved closer to Rose and offered her the sleeping Little "I figured you would like to hold her" he said with a smile, Rose looked down at her sleeping Little, she truly believed that she had screwed up so badly that this day would only ever be a dream. "With that taken care of…" said Wendy re-entering the room "Rose as the Amazon who brought this Little to our dimension you have the first option to adopt this Little, if you refuse…" "I accept" said Rose cutting off Wendy "I thought you might" replied Wendy and placed a sheet of paper on the desk infront of Rose "Just fill in the details and sign the bottom and this Little will belong to you" Rose took the pen from Wendy's hand and filled in the required information then signed the paper making Emy officially Roses Little "With this signed you now have full custody of…" Wendy glanced down at the paper Rose Horten you are now the legal guardian of Emily Horten…" Rose smiled down at her Little… she now truly is was her Little in every sense of the word "This is a temporary card to give to any law enforcement incase anyone questions your guardianship of your Little" Wendy made sure to emphasise the 'your' part "Now if you will come with me I will show you the way out" said Wendy in a broad "I do this everyday" voice, on the way out Wendy looked straight at Rose "Aden wanna catch some lunch at the burger place on the first floor after this?" Rose was sure this message wasn't for Aden but for Rose "I'll think about it" he mumbled and they all left the room. My life without Rose flashed through my mind's eye, it didn't help I knew it was all a dream or rather a nightmare, I was powerless to wake myself and was forced to watch endlessly how Rose was just out of reach or behind prison bars or worse killed before my eyes and large Amazon hands stopping me from helping her. Each and every image tore my heart until finally like bursting through water into the air I finally awoke to the semi dark room, I placed my hand over my heart in the attempt to slow it. After a few deep breaths I finally calmed down enough to look around and my heart started up again for a completely different reason, I was wearing a onesie, was sitting in a crib with a piece of my diaper peeking out and just outside the crib was an Amazon sized shape sleeping on a wooden chair, can you see where I'm going with this? "Rose" I hissed in excitement, the scene was too close to the first day I woke in her dimension that I couldn't believe that wasn't Rose sitting there, the figure moved but didn't wake, it was time to use the word that means so much to Rose and was starting to mean so much to me too "Mommy!" I whined, the figure jerked awake immediately "Whats wrong?" I heard a sleepy Rose ask and the desk light flicked to life showing that I was right, it was Rose watching over me "Mommy it's really you" I was on the verge of crying with joy, Roses sleepy face turned to a smile "You just can't let me introduce you to this world properly can you?" said Rose walking over to the crib "You know I can't let you control my life” I replied in a way so Rose knew I was joking, I was ready to let her take control, Rose bent down and picked me up holding me to her chest “It's great to have you home” she whispered to me “It's great to be home” I said equally as grateful. We stayed like that until my curiosity got the better of me “So what happened? I thought we had to be on the run and this looks like your room” I said looking around again just to make sure I wasn't mistaken “That is a story for later, for now I know a Little that needs her diaper changed” I blushed… just a little. It was good to be back with Rose even when she removed my diaper and took me into the bathroom for you probably guessed it, a bath. After going the last couple days being naked in front of someone that only wanted to help me didn't seem so bad so unlike every other time she wanted me to have a bath I asked her to help me, partly because I still wasn't feeling one hundred percent and because I knew it would make Rose… my mommy happy. As Rose bathed me I told her what had happened in the other dimension, I was thinking of it that way now, another dimension not my home dimension because this is my home, where there are people… well Amazons that love me and the people I love. Rose was just about ready to go back to the other dimension and kick the butts of the men that felt me up in the ally way when I told her, it was sweet that she wanted to do that for me but it was also terrifying when she got mad “If I had been there…” muttered Rose as her fingers dug into my shoulder “Ah Rose that hurts” I said wincing, she removed her hand and I looked at the finger nail marks she left “I’m sorry honey, I have a bit of a temper when someone tries to hurt you” “I’m still here, you don't need to finish me off” I said rubbing my shoulder and giving her a ‘everything is ok now’ grin. I honestly considered leaving out anything about Maddy, Nora and Grace but ended up telling Rose everything I could remember about them, instead of telling me that I was crazy and that she didn't want a crazy Little Rose listened to every word as I sat there in the bath pushing bubbles around like the whole experience was just a story I was telling her. “I haven't heard from any of them since Maddy said goodbye” I finished and sank down under the water and blew bubbles, Rose sat back like she was thinking for a minute “It's a good thing I didn't have anything planned” I looked at Rose and wondered what she was thinking “If you trust me I might know a way for you to talk to them again” Rose said slowly, she couldn't be serious could she? “How?” I asked “Using the machine I used to… well… make you” I had known that Rose essentially made my mind thanks to Nora and Grace but it was still hard to hear coming from Roses mouth, almost like I could deny that part being true as long as Rose didn't say it but there it was. There was no doubt that I trusted Rose but what if the machine malfunctioned and I was deleted like the other personalities before me, I told Rose my concerns “I won't be using it like I did back then, this will be more like helping you into a lucid dream” “So no chance of me disappearing?” I asked wanting to be sure “I would never take that risk again” Rose said, I believed her and that was enough for me. After getting towelled dry and re diapered Rose had me lay down on the couch, she disappeared through the one door I had not been through and returned a minute later holding a large donut looking thing or maybe haylo either way part or me remembered it and I tensed up “You don't have to do this” said Rose “I want to” I replied and metally kept telling myself that I was going to be alright, Rose was watching out for me. Rose placed the device on my head and fiddled with her tablet thing “Ok are you ready?” she asked, I nodded and nothing happened “Did it fail?” I asked, she chuckled “It's only helping you too dream, you still need to help it by going to sleep, you should be feeling more tired by now” since Rose mentioned it I did feel the yawns coming on even after all the sleep I had recently so I let my eyes close and slowly drift off. Like the snap of a finger I could see the park I had first arrived at back in the other dimension “This is very Inception like” I mumbled to myself and examined my clothing, I half expected to see the clothing I liked to wear seeing as how this was supposed to be my dream and all that but I was wearing a flowing yellow sundress and I could feel the thick diaper between my legs “Even in a dream” I chuckled to myself and looked at the three approching bodys. Even though the three voice in my head were just that, voices I could tell that the three people walking towards me were them, Maddy, Nora and Grace “There you are” I said as they were close enough “You would think she hadn't seen us before” said Nora to Grace, who nodded “Emy!” squealed Maddy and ran to me giving me a big hug “I knew you would choose mommy” she squealed looking up into my eyes “She was just the better choice than jail” I said trying to play it off “You can't hide anything from us here” said Nora “That's right, we are a part of you remember?” added Grace “And yet I can't hear your thoughts or memories” I said with a huff “That would make you too OP” said Grace with a smirk “It would have been nice though” I sighed and got a laugh out of the others. After a quick catchup we ended up playing silly games thanks to Maddy because as she said “No one can see us here and we might not see each other again” she was right and I did have fun playing with them but I could feel that time was almost up “Remember what I said, ask her all those questions, she might actually answer now” said Nora and she gave me a hug as I told her I would ask Rose what happened while I was away. Stepping back I took one last look at the voices that had helped me during my time with out Rose “Thank you for all your help” I said trying to hold back the tears “We will always be here” said Grace and dabbed at her own eye, I nodded and we all said our final goodbyes, I stood there for a second then thought of the perfect way to end this “Well since I’m dreaming I think it's time to leave like Superman” I looked to the sky, thrust one arm up “Up, up and away” I said, my feet letting go of the ground moments later as if gravity had suddenly decided to ignore me. Unlike my more recent wakeups, I knew where I was with very little effort, the warmth under me, the soft squishy thing I was laying on and the biggest give away was the steady rhythmic thumping of a heart all told me I was laying on top of Rose. Opening my eyes I saw the other of Roses breasts that I wasn't using as a pillow “Your awake” said the soft whispering voice of Rose, pushing myself up and looking at her I smiled “Yep, thank you for letting me say goodbye” Rose smiled too “Your perfectly welcome Meerkat, now how are you feeling? Are you hungry?” she asked, as a matter of fact I was hungry “Im starving” I fake whined, her smile grew and she carried me off to the kitchen. “Why not” I whined, as Rose was making food she told me all about what happened to her while I was away but she would not tell me how she tracked me down or how she knew I wanted her “If I told you that then I wouldn't be able to do it again” she smirked, I huffed again “Thats mean” I whined “Well tough your with me now” she said smirking “Can I see the card?” I asked, Rose told me how I was now officially adopted by her and while I believed her I wanted to see the card, Rose fished around in her pocket and pulled out a plastic looking card “Rose and Emily Horten” I said the names to test them in my mouth “Emily Horten… it's sounds right” I finally smiled and Rose returned it ten times greater “As your new mommy I think we need to get you a fresh diaper then a nap for you” my face fell “Nooooo” I whined “I’ve been asleep most of today I feel awake and…” Rose cut me off with a finger to my lips “None of that, do you forget where I found you?, I’m not blind, I can see you are still in pain” she was right, my muscles were still an ache all over and the sun burn was a a pain everywhere but my ass and apparently I wasn't as good at hiding all this as I thought I was “You aren't that good at hiding things from me” she said “That darn mind reading again” I mumbled, Rose smirked at me “Your face gives away what your thinking about” said Rose with a chuckle and she lifted me out of the highchair. In a fresh diaper Rose helped dress me into a footed sleeper and rested me down in the crib “You know I’m just going to be laying here the whole time right?” “Thats fine, there is nothing wrong with just resting every once in a while, now here drink this” Rose presented me with a tiny cup of blueish liquid “Do I need to taste it first?” asked Rose with a smile, I grinned back and remembered our first days together “No that's ok I trust you” I said and drank the whole thing in one go, it was actually quite nice “I’m glad and incase you were curious it's just something to help with your pain” I nodded because I thought it might be that… or something to make me sleep “Now rest up and I’ll check on you in a couple of hours” said Rose softly and she closed the blinds “Can't you read to me?” I asked, it was something I had missed “Of course Meerkat” Rose took out a book and began reading and despite my best efforts I found myself drifting off for the second time today. “Trying to sleeeeeep” I groaned at the noise that was invading my sleep but it didn't matter how much I rolled around, covered my head with the pillow or groaned at it the noise fully woke me. Sitting up I rubbed my eyes and listened to the sound of laughter and Amazons talking, I wondered what was going on and why Rose hadn't woken me for it “Mommmmmmmy” I called and smiled at myself, it was ridiculous but I supposed I would get used to it. Moments later the door cracked open and I saw Rose poking her head in “I see you” I said looking right at her “I'm not here” she said quietly, I shook my head at her “What's going on and why didn't you wake me?” I asked “Oh I just invited some friends over” replied Rose nonshalontly “It sounds like there is more than just friends” I said as she picked me up “Nonsense” Rose quickly dressed me into a dress “Um Rose are we going to have a problem here” I said nodding at the dress “Whos your mommy here?” I groaned “You are” “And who thinks you look adorable it this dress” I stared at her “That would be me” she said after the silence got to her “Now come on let's meet our friends.” The moment we left the hallway there was an explosion of noise “WELCOME HOME EMILY!” I blinked in surprise, it looked like every Amazon and Little that Rose and I knew were here now crowding me. “Who knew you were so shy” Laughed Wendy as she flipped another burger on the BBQ “You try having a zombie horde crowding you” I said in a huff, I may or may not have cuddled into Rose in the attempt to hide from the masses trying to see me moments after the big welcome home, thankfully now things had calmed down and Rose was somewhere talking with other Amazons and I was outside with Wendy “They were just happy to see you” chuckled Wendy “It was definitely a better welcome than I got in the other dimension” I said and flashed a quick smile “Your home now” said Wendy simply “Yes and I hear that I have you to thank for that and for keeping Rose out of jail, how did you do that?” I asked, Wendy grinned at me “I didn't do anything, electronics malfunction all the time and sometimes friends help friends” I looked at her in surprise “Your friend sabotaged the scanner” she winked at me “I was just doing my job and that states that if the Little is not already owned then the Amazon that found said Little has the first option to adopt” I smiled at her “Thank you Wendy” she smiled and bobbed her head. “So how did Rose find me? And Dave for that matter” I asked “What you haven't figured that one out yet” laughed Wendy “No” I said a little annoyed “Do you remember that watch that you never had” she bobbed her eyebrows at me and I blushed “You mean Roses watch” “Bingo” “Soooo… you two knew that I still had it?” I asked “Knew, Rose was thrilled you wanted it, not so much that you wanted to hide that fact from her but yes we knew” she replied still chuckling “Wait, wait I destroyed that watch before I asked Ro… mommy for help” Wendy started to full on laugh “Stop laughing at me and tell me what I’m missing” it took Wendy a few seconds to stop laughing “Do you really think you can break Amazon tech?” said Wendy still trying to get ahold of herself “Yes, I saw it smash to pieces” Wendy got ahold of herself long enough to clearly say “It's play time” and from the corner of my eye I saw the watch appear out of nowhere back on my wrist “What the hell, it can teleport?” this started Wendy all over again “No, it's been there the whole time” I looked at the watch then at Wendy and back “Yep, neat trick hey” “Ok…” I said slowly “That explains Rose finding me but how about Dave?” Wendy looked more serious this time “Rose found a separate tracker in the watch but it must have been damaged or something because it's logs say it only started working an hour or so before Rose got to you” I was about to ask how this Amazon tracker could stop working like that when I heard Roses voice “What are you two talking about?” asked Rose stepping out onto the deck with Wendy and myself “Nothing” I said quickly and out of habit covered the watch, then consciously took my hand away and I showed Rose the watch, Rose shook her head “You told her” sighed Rose, Wendy shrugged at her “It wasn't me, she's a smart Little” "What am I going to do with the two of you" said Rose still shaking her head. With the food ready and served up everyone was eating… or drinking something, I will never understand how some Littles can survive on just milk. "You know there's still one thing I don't understand" said Rose thoughtfully after hearing me tell Wendy and Abby what I had been up too while in the other dimension "What's that?" I asked "How did you get back to your dimension?" I blinked in confusion "Didn't I say?" The listeners around me all shook their heads, I thought they all knew "Kaylee sent me" every listener looked in shock at the Little who was in the process of biting a chicken nugget "What? It was a one-time use" said the Little like everyone should know this, and pulled out a severely melted version of the metal cross Kaylee wore, I laughed at it and the looks over everyone around us. It was great to be home, there really is no place like home because here I am... myself. The End *** Ah I never thought I would actually finish writing the whole thing so for you who have read the whole thing till now, a huge thank you and I would like to share with you the original short story I wrote about Rose and Emily. It is really short and there are missing characters but its what got me wanting to tell Emily's story. *** New years festival “There you go little miss puddle pants” said Rose as she booped my nose “Back in a fresh clean diaper” “Thank you mummy” I giggled “Now which do you want to wear tonight?” asked Rose holding up my denim skirtalls and the stupid blue dress mummy knowns I hate “That one” I said pointing at the skirtalls “What this one?” she asked covering my skirtalls with the dress “I didn't think you liked this dress but if that's the one you want to wear” “Silly mummy” I giggled “The other one” she smiled at me “That makes more sense” Rose clipped on my skirtalls and skillfully put my shoes on without much help from me “Can we go now?” I asked with a slight whine in my voice “Hold those horses little girl, we just need to get your diaper bag then we can go” “Oooooh hurry mummy, aunty Gwen and Kaykay will be waiting for us” I whined “Hmm what if I can't find the bag” she said turning around “looking” for the bag “It's right there mummy” I said pointing at my unicorn diaper bag hanging from Roses shoulder “Where back here” she turned and looked at the pile of my stuffys “Nope I don't see it there” “Mummmmmy” I whined, she grinned at me “Oh here it is, I guess we are good to go then” Rose carried me out to the car and buckled me in “Onwards to the beach!” I shouted as she started the car “Off we go” Rose confirmed. “Kaykay!” I shouted the moment I saw her “Emy!” she returned and we ran into each other's arms to hug “Can you believe it we are here, I thought it would never come” “I know, I know it as taking forevers” both Kaykay and I looked up to see aunty Gwen and mummy chuckling “Littles” they both said in unison “That's not nice mummy” I huffed “Oh have I hurt your feelings my little princess, would getting a bag of cotton candy help?” I looked over at the stall vender and uncrossed my arms “yep “ I grinned “Oh me too Mummy… um you hurt my feelings too” said Kaykay “And cotton candy will help you too?” Gwen asked her “Ah huh” both Gwen and mummy laughed. “Here you go girls” Mummy handed me a pink cloud of cotton candy as Gwen gave Kaykay a rainbow cloud “Thank you mummy” we both replied in unison. Kaykay and I tried to walk beside the Amazons but between eating our cotton candy and just trying to keep up we failed and retired to our respective strollers. Mummy pushed us through the crowds of people to various attractions “Can you believe the Amazons do all this just for the new years eve” I heard Kaykay call to me “We used to do parties like this back in my home dimension” I called back “I love coming to these we never have many celebrations back home” I just nodded while eating my cloud not even knowing if Kaykay could see me. “Please, please, please” I whined, the cotton candy was long gone and I now wanted an ice cream “Are you going to make a mess of it?” asked Rose “No I swear I wont” I lied while holding my crossed fingers behind my back, she glared at me for a moment then replied “Ok then, would you like an ice cream too Kaylee?” “Yes please Aunty Rose” Rose went over to one of the food stalls to purchase our ice creams, I brought out my hand to show Kaykay and we both cracked up giggling “What's so funny?” asked Aunty Gwen “Nothing” we both said and started giggling all over again. I’m glad I had my fingers crossed because I would say about a quarter of the ice cream had gone on my face or down the front of the bib “I thought you weren't going to make a mess” said Rose I crossed my fingers again, showed her and gave her my biggest smile “You sneaky little” she chuckled and placed the last mouthful of ice cream in my mouth, we had taken to sitting in a relatively uncrowded spot in the grass that overlooked the beach and I was having the time of my life “The fireworks will be starting shortly” came the voice over the speaker “Oh mummy fireworks” I cried, Rose shook her head “For someone that was originally scared of fireworks you seem to really like them now” There so pretty” I replied, Amazons and their littles started to make there way down to the beach shaw. BANG! The first firework went off lighting up the sky “Mummy I can't see good” I cried “Ok upsy daisy” Rose lifted me up and onto her shoulders now I could see perfectly over all the other heads “Ohhhhhh… ahhhhh” I just had too it didn't feel right without making those noises a couple of times. Half way through the show I felt the need to pee and unlike what I used to do I just let it go into my diaper without a second thought nothing was going to stop me watching the fireworks. “That was sooooo cool!” cried Kaykay as we were being strapped back into our strollers “Did you see that big one it went BOOOOOM!” “Yea, yea, yea and the smaller ones after that went pop, pop BANG!” I called back, it was all so exciting “I think we have two over excited littles Gwen” “I think you might be right, we had better head home to settle them down” Kaykay and I turned to face our mummys “No please” “just a little more” we whined “It's past your bedtime” replied Gwen “And I don't know about you Gwen but I have a puddle princess that needs changing” “I do not” I huffed “I must have imagined my neck getting warm during the fireworks then” I felt my cheeks grow instantly warm “It's… it's just your imagination mummy” Rose reached a hand up my skirtall and gave a quick squeeze of my diaper “Yep puddle princess strikes again” proclaimed Rose “Kaykays messy!” I cried “Trator!” “Oh we know about that” replied Gwen and both of us blushed for a moment then cracked up laughing “Should we get these littles back to your place for their sleepover?” asked Rose “I think so seeing how they need a change” replied Gwen. The four of us went back to Gwen's place but Kaylee and myself were fast asleep before the cars pulled into the driveway. *** Again thanks for reading and I hoped you liked it, Emily, Rose and friends might return from time to time in short stories but for now this story is told ?

I had a bit of time in my lunch break, heres another part *** Part 33 Roses side Before Rose and Emma were reunited Rose was in pieces barley living day to day. It was only because of her best friend slash sister Gwen that Rose got out of bed and ate food since Emy had disappeared, all the searching in the world could not reveal where Emy was and Rose had knocked on every door for blocks of her house in the faintest hope that someone had seen her “I told you before you messed with her head that you should have put a tracker on her” said Gwen as she rushed around the kitchen preparing the days lunches for her Little Kaylee and her sister who was currently slumped over the kitchen table “I did…” growned Rose “It'll only turn on when she wants me” mumbled Rose into her arms, she now wished that she had have just left it as a normal tracker but if Emy had found out that the watch she had given the Little all those weeks ago then Emy wouldn't forgive her, Rose was one hundred percent sure of this. Rose did smile just a bit at the thought that Emy really thought she was hiding the watch from her, Rose was happy that Emy liked it well enough to try and keep it hidden from her. Rose turned and watched the Little Kaylee slowly drawing with her crayons in the highchair, if Rose was more attentive to the world around her she would have noticed the Little wasn't acting like her normal cheery self and talked to her about it but because of this and Gwen putting Kaylee's abnormalities down to losing her friend both Amazons would not learn that Kaylee herself had sent Emy back to her home dimension just last night “Why the heck would you set the tracker like that?” asked Gwen, she loved her sister but for someone that didn't care about Littles only a few months ago was now giving her Little way to much freedom “If she found out…” Rose didn't bother to finish because she knew that Gwen already knew her reasoning, Rose curled in on herself more, if she had given Emy just that tiny bit less freedom then she would know where Emy was and they would be back home together by now. It wasn't much of an exaggeration that Rose felt like her very heart was ripped from her chest, she missed waking to get things ready for Emy, all the little things from packing her lunch, making breakfast even changing Emys wet diapers in the morning, she missed it all. Gwen had suggested for Rose to look after Kaylee until Emy was back home but as much as Rose loved kaylee, the Little just wasn't a replacement for Emy and they all knew it. Days after Gwen and Roses breakfast discussion it finally happened, the thing that brought Rose back from the edge of pure zombie hood in her day to day life “Ok class take out your textbooks we are going to be…” started Rose when she felt her phone go off at full volume, every single person in the room looked at their teacher wondering why she had her phone off silent for class. Roses heart seemed to float as she heard the sound she never wanted to hear when she had first set it up but now it was like god himself was calling for her, Rose picked up the phone and looked at the screen and saw the message “I’m ready to go home… please help me Rose” Rose pressed the message and her tracker app came up showing exactly where Emy was “Ahhh…” Rose looked up at her staring class “Just… just start reading I have to be somewhere very important, Chris will you let the principal know that I don't know when I’ll be back” before Rose could hear a reply from the boy Rose was out the door and running as fast as she could to her car. The speed limit was less than a suggestion with how fast Rose was flying through the streets, there were many near misses as she was sending messages to both Gwen and Wendy letting them know how Emy had somehow managed to make it back to her dimension and that Rose was on her way to the nearest Dimensional travel port. When Rose finally got to the building she was about ready to murder someone for their parking space but ended up having to park so far back from the terminal that she was sure she would go out of her mind with worry before she would make it to the building. Rose ran the entire way into the terminal building with her lungs on fire and many angry Amazons left in her wake, this was more exercise than her already exhausted body could take but this was her chance to see Emy again and she wasn't going to let her Little down again. “Hello how can I…” started the desk woman but Rose cut her off in a rush “I need the first portal to… fuck” Rose cursed under her breath as she looked up Emys dimentional identification, finding it she rushed it out so fast the Amazon at the desk had to ask Rose to repeat her self twice more just to be sure she had gotten it right “And I need it to around these coordinates” Rose showed the woman her phone “Alright mam but you understand that that will be extra seeing as how we will have to verify it's safety first” “Yes, yes” said Rose in a rush, they all knew how portal travel worked “I just need your passport to place your booking” Rose was so thankful that her work had taken her to other dimensions before, her passport should still be valid “I don't have it with me but it's identification is…” Rose rattled off the alphanumeric code that even she was surprised that she remembered and after all the biometric verifications the booking was finally placed “I have that all set, would you like…” the Amazon at the desk started to try getting Rose to purchase all the insurance and leisure packages she could before Rose exploded at the woman “I DON'T WANT ANYTHING ELSE!” the woman at the desk recoiled “I’m sorry, I just need to get there as fast as possible” said Rose forcing herself to at least act like a reasonable being, the Amazon nodded and brought up the amount that Rose owed for the trip, Rose thought she must be seeing a few extra zeros at the end of the screen but nope after rubbing her eyes the trip was still going to cost more than she made in two years, it was not going to be cheap retrieving Emy but that was ok. Rose handed over her credit card and just hoped that between her savings and credit that she had enough. After those few agonising seconds of waiting the machine approved the purchase and Rose was issued her digital ticket and was instructed where to go next. It always seemed that when you are in a hurry the rest of the world slows down to a crawl, at the security check Rose just had to be stuck behind the one person that had more Amazon tech on them than any other person forcing the guard to check each and every piece against the Amazons destination and borderline getting into an argument about how he should be allowed to bring that item with him. Rose finally got to check in all of her tech aside from her phone which the guard was hesitant about letting her bring seeing how Roses destination was still a primitive world but after explaining how long she thought she was going to be there the guard allowed her through. It was all down to waiting in the lounge and Roses foot was tapping up a storm, it was clearly disturbing her fellow waiting travelers but Rose couldn't think of anything of then “Hurry, hurry, please wait just a bit longer Emy, I’m on my way” this thinking was keeping Rose sane and driving her mad at the same time. She was finally called to her gate and Rose wasted no time in getting there. After the report of the conditions on the other side and then a semi lengthy lecture on the rules she had to follow or risk fines or imprisonment upon her return, Rose was finally allowed through the portal. Rose knew that some Littles weren't mentally strong enough to pass through a portal and still be conscious on the other side, thankfully Rose wasn't a Little and merely forced her way through the gelatin like resistance of the portal all the way to the other side. Rose made the quick check to make sure there were no Littles when she passed through and checked her phone which now showed a map of the building she was in and it's path to Emy “Not much longer” thought Rose and she left through the only door. There she was, laying with her back to Rose laying in the bed, Rose was about to go right in when she caught sight of what she guessed was some security guard or something, it was definitely a uniform of some kind and different from all the others Rose had seen on her way here, then there was the metal cuffs holding Emy to the bed frame, this was worse than Rose thought and would require some thinking about to get Emy back. Rose was walking the halls when she saw another uniformed guard similar to the one that was watching over Emy, a plan quickly formed in Roses head. The setup was better than Rose could have planned, Rose kept pace with a man in a business suit and at the moment they and the guard were passing each other Rose bumped the man gently into the guard causing a domino effect, bringing down a nearby cart causing more mess and confusion, Rose acted like she couldn't believe what was happening and from the corner of her eye saw the second guard come out to investigate the noise just as Rose hoped he would. Passing the guard Roses finger passed through the key hanging there on his belt and continued on into Emys room. Roses heart raced as she stepped closer to her Little, her much bigger Little but there was no doubt that she was her Emy, would she be angry, upset or some combination, there wasn't time for doubt, she had to be fast and Emy had asked for her help. Placing a hand on Emys shoulder caused her to roll over “What do you…” Emys angry face turned to joy as they made eye contact “Rose” said Emy with clear excitement in her voice, Emy was happy to see her and that made Roses heart fly “Hey meerkat” replied Rose “I heard you needed help” it was a dumb thing to say and Emy must have thought so too because her cheery smile turned to saddness, a small part of Roses mind wondered how Littles changed emotions so rapidly “Rose I’m sorry, I’m…” Rose cut the Little off before she went into full on tears and bring the guard back “Hush now, none of that” Roses words werent enough to stop her Little from sobbing “But I was horrible to you and you were only trying to help me” it was clear to Rose that Emy was now ready to let herself be guided by Roses hand “It's ok, we can talk later, for now we have to leave” the Little tried to wipe her eyes and winced in pain, which near broke Roses heart to see her Little in pain “Here” Rose wiped away the tears trying to form from the corner of Emys eyes with her sleeve “Lets get you out of here then we can get caught up” said Rose and held up the key she had borrowed. Rose and Emy left the room and Roses diversion but it didn't go unnoticed by Rose that Emy wasn't walking right or quickly, Rose had thought that Emy looked injured but now she was sure and she wanted to hurt who ever it was that did it to her Little girl “Rose where are we going?” asked the Little trying to hide the fact she was struggling with even this short walk, Rose wanted to answer all of her Littles questions but now wasn't the right time so decided to help her Little instead “Here meerkat” said Rose taking a knee, she had hoped Emy would just get on her back like any normal Little would but just as Rose had known she would Emy questioned it “Rose you can't carry me here, I’m to heavy” Now that was just silly of her Little to assume, Rose knew down to the core of her that she would always have the strength to carry her Little even if she was bigger than normal “I can always carry you if you need me too, do you trust me?” after a moment or two of watching Emy go through something in her head she wordlessly collapsed onto Roses back, immediately Rose could smell Emys mess of her hair and it was not the cute sent that she was used to, now it was a mix of things that told Rose that in the short few days Emy had been gone she had a hard time of it. Lifting Emy did take a bit more effort than usual but Rose made sure to act like it was nothing so Emy wouldn't feel bad “Thank you for saving me” said Emy weekly near Roses ear, Rose never felt like she should be thanked for helping Emy after all that she had done to the Little, if anything Rose should be apologizing to Emy but she knew this wouldn't help Emy right now so she said what she always did “You should know that I’m here to help you meerkat” something Rose hoped Emy knew to be true. Emy didn't make another sound all the way to the basements room that Rose had first left from, the closer they got the more Rose feared that Emy may not truly want to come back with her and thought she owed it to the Little to offer her another way out if that was what her Little wanted “Before we go any further I need to know that you want to come with me” said Rose as she knelt down to let Emy off her back so they could face each other “What do you mean?” asked her Little “I can't offer you the same life you left because of Dave…” Rose saw her Little wince at hearing Daves name but she had to say this “You could stay here and…” Rose stopped as the Little shook her head violently “You know what happened to my family” Rose did and at the time it was just background information but now it made Rose sad to think her Little had to find out about that again all by herself “I do…” answered Rose “I’m going with you… if you still want me” said Emy meekly, how could this beautiful Little even think that Rose wouldn't want her after all this “Oh meerkat, I wouldn't have it any other way” said Rose pulling Emy into a hug. Rose still felt she had to lay out their situation for Emy and so as much as she didn't want to she broke their embrace “If you come with me we might have to be on the run for some time and even if we find a safe place for a while we still may have to leave at a moments notice” there was clearly a moment that Emy didn't like that news but she answered with “I’m coming with you, after all your my… you're my mommy” the one last word nearly brought tears to Roses eyes, Emy had said it, she had finally called her mommy without anyone forcing her too. Rose through her arms around Emy once again “Thank you Emy” Rose could feel the tears of joy well up in the corners of her eyes but it must be said again “Thank you” she whispered again. Now with no doubt that Emy wanted to return with her Rose let go of her Little and stood to her full height “I think it's time we go home” a smile came to Emy then quickly dropped away “Umm… how are we getting home?” Rose walked to the center of the room and waved her hand through where she was sure the portal lingered and as her hand passed through the portal she felt the slight resistance and smiled “Are you ready to go home?” asked Rose taking a knee for Emy to be carried home like the princess Little she was to Rose “Never been more ready” answered Emy and hopped onto Rose without hesitation, Rose stood and walked through the semi resistive portal. There is a moment that blocks out all senses at once but every Amazon knows to just keep walking, it was because of this that Rose was not ready for the Security guards waiting for her on the other side “Hold it right there miss” said the first guard, Rose immediately stopped walking, she had not expected to see any sort of Law enforcement right after stepping through the portal after all no one had scanned Emy yet and she technically had not broken any laws getting here “Can I help you officers?” asked Rose in the most cheery voice she could manage while checking on Emy from the corner of her eye, the Little was asleep thankfully, her now much smaller head resting on Roses shoulder “We have received a tip off that you might have kidnapped a Little against their will” given that it was a serious crime to take a native Little against their will Rose tried to act surprised while wondering how the hell they could have possibly received a tip like that, thinking fast Rose answered with “If you will check my departure records I left by myself and I picked up this little cutie on my trip and I will be registering her shortly” for something she came up with on the spot Rose was quite pleased with herself “All the same Miss we need to scan her to verify” Rose saw more guards starting to surround her “But I just picked her up” said Rose again then she saw him “David King” Rose near spat the words as she saw the man that was hunting her and Emy “Ah Rugosa how good to see you again, no wait you go by Rose now right?” “That's right” growled Rose, she had legally changed her name so there was no way they would get her for giving the travel port miss information, a small victory “Well if you will hand over our property you will be free to go” said Dave looking smug “She doesn't belong to you” “Actually as you well know that Little is the property of Arctic Labs” “You are not taking her” Rose made sure to let everyone there know she wasn't kidding around “What's going on?” asked a sleepy voice next to Roses ear, dropping her angry voice for something Emy was more accustomed to she replied “Nothing sweety, go back to sleep” “Be reasonable Rose, you know you have nowhere to go” Dave said taking another step forward almost like he believed if Emy saw him she would want to go with him instead of her, Rose heard her Littles soft voice “Oh no” and the movement of her Little, Emy must recognise Dave thought Rose. “Just return the Little you kidnapped and we won't press charges” Dave was trying to act like the concerned parent but Rose knew it was all a lie, an act for the onlookers “She's not yours” shot Rose, Dave rummaged in his pocket for a second then pulled out the Little adoption license that Rose was sure had Emys details on it “This licence says otherwise” “It's fake” shot Rose, it was a weak defence but Rose could tell that the guards watching her were not on her side “It's not fake miss” said one of the guards, Rose wanted to answer with “and how do you know that” when another guard spoke up “Just give us the Little and the law will go easy on you” Emy chose that extremely bad time to speak up “I don't want to go with him” Rose took a deep breath to tell them all where to go “I will…” Rose stopped as she felt Emys arms pull free from her neck, turning she saw a guard that must have sneaked up on her retreating with Emy in hand screaming and kicking for all she was worth, time seemed to slow down as Roses mind could not accept the fact that she had just let her Little be taken from her again and this time to be delivered into the hands of David. Something crashed into Rose bringing her back to her senses and she immediately tried to fling her attackers off her in the small attempt to get Emy back. “Don't fight, trust me” whispered a quiet voice close to Roses ear, the voice was familiar but Rose was still trying with all her might to throw off the Amazons. Rose struggled until she knew it was too late and stopped resisting just like the voice had told her. It didn't matter how much Emma screamed, kicked or tried to bite the Amazon holding her would not let go until he opened a door and placed Emma inside. Emma didn't even have time to try and run out with the Amazon the door closed so fast, Emma sat down with her back to the door in defeat, she had somehow managed to not only talk to Rose again but Rose actually wanted her back and now they were forced apart by an Amazon that she had trusted whole heartedly less than a week ago. Emma rested her head on her legs she had brought to her chest, trying not to let tears over take her. If Emma was either a child or a true Little the room she had been dumped in would have been a dream come true, there was a ball pit, a maze like padded fort, a toy area and art supplies the list went on but Emma knew what it all really was and that was a place to hold Littles while their Amazon was tortured… ok well maybe not tortured but it surely wouldn't be anything nice. To fight off the sadness Emma explored the room in the slim attempt to find a way out but a holding area for Littles wouldn't be any good if it didn't hold Littles right? Her exploration revealed no escape just as she had thought but it was a good distraction for a couple of minutes, nowhere near as long as she needed and so she ended up curling herself into a ball on the soft floor and let out her sadness of losing another family. With no watch and no clock Emma didn't know how long she had been making a fool of herself as she saw it, the thought of how she had treated Roses watch almost brought her back to a sobbing ball on the ground but she knew that if Nora was still in her head she would say something like “Ok you have had your pity party now it's time to plan” or something like that and so she dried her eyes as best she could and did another lap of the room looking for something she could use as a weapon for when the Amazons came back. Emma was in the process of wondering if it would hurt to be stabbed with a crayon when she heard the slightly electronic voice of some thing that couldn't be anything other than a robotic nurseries voice “Did someone have an accident?” Emma looked up in shock both from the surprise of the voice and because she realised that she had indeed just wet herself… well actually she was still going… and the rubbish diaper of her home dimension wasn't up to the task of catching it all so she could feel a dribble run down the inside of her leg. Emma pressed her hand onto the hospital gown to try and force her bladder to stop but this just seemed to make it worse “It's ok, I’ll get you cleaned up” said the artificial voice, Emma knew that the femine voice was supposed to be friendly if not motherly but it just creeped Emma out, robotic arms just like the ones at her daycare center came out of the ceiling and picked her up. Thanks to the daycare and talks with Kaylee, Emma knew that as long as she didn't fight the machine and there was no Amazon telling it to punish her it would do its job and not bother her further so Emma let it carry her to a change table that was fenced off from the rest of the room. This change table must have been better than the one Rose had because unlike the cold plastic of Roses change table this one was almost warm but it was still a plastic cushion. The care and gentleness that Emma remembered from Rose changing her was missing from this machine, the machine was straight to the point to get the job done then plop Emma back into the play area of the room with a much thicker diaper that she remembered all too well. Emma waited at the door with her semi sharpened crayon for as long as she could but her energy quickly gave out, she guessed that she wasn't fully healed yet and ended up falling asleep there on the floor when she could no longer keep her eyes open.

There are 2 more parts @elfenlied I just need to proof read them then I'll post them

This story is now fully written so I just need to proof read the last remaining parts and I should post them before this week ends. *** Part 32 Old Life There it was directly before her, it was the house she grew up in, the one that held her family and it felt to Emma as if there should be some music playing behind her for such a reunion but life wasn't like the movies. Each sight, smell and foot step brought back memory after memory of playing just in this front yard by herself or with her brothers, Jason teaching her to play football, the crushed down pipe that was left as a monument of her first driving lesson, it was all wonderful to remember but it was time to see her family again. Standing in front of the door had never felt so nerve wracking before, she had gone through this very door so many times before yet this one had her heart racing. Emma brought her hand up to the door and knocked three times “Knock, knock” called Emma the very thing she had done so many times as a kid because it made her mother smile to answer “whos there?” then be greated to “me” when the door was opened, this time it took a full minute before the door was opened to reveal not her mother who she expected but her father looking like he was on the verge of death. In the back of Emma's mind she thought it was strange that he wasn't out on the farm but simply took in his appearance “Hi da…” she started “It's you, what do you want” the question sounded more like a statement than a question somehow, this was strange behaviour for her father, he was normally warm and comforting even to a stranger “I’m home” Emma answered dumbly like that statement would explain everything “I can see that” both didn't seem to know what to say so a silence grew between them, without warning her father turned and walked inside their home, Emma was shocked “Well come in if your coming… and shut the door behind you” called her father halfway through the hall, that kicked her brain into action again and walked inside making sure the door was closed behind her. Watching her father walk she saw that he had a very bad limp, something that wasn't there the last time she had seen him. She followed him into the kitchen “Well take a seat” he said when she just stood there in the doorway, Emma did and sat down on the closest chair. Emma watched her father slowly hobble from one spot to another as he made some hot drinks “So… where is everyone?” asked Emma starting to feel uncomfortable with the silence, this was not going anything like what she expected, he turned to face her with an annoyed look on his face “Wow he's gotten grumpy” said Nora in Emmas head “Yea it looks like time wasn't kind to him since we have been gone” replied Emma equally as silent to her father, he went back to making the drink and Emma started to wonder what had happened since she had been gone. Without asking what or how she wanted a drink her father placed a slowly steaming mug in front of her “Thank you” said Emma softly, he grunted and sat down across the table with his own drink “Soooooo…” started Emma as she lifted the mug to her nose “Coffee” growned Emma to the voices in her head “Suck it up and drink it, you know we would have killed to have just one more of his drinks a couple of days ago” Nora was right so Emma took a small sip trying not to grimace as the liquid ran past her taste buds “You look like crap” said her dad and Emma nearly spat out what was left in her mouth “Thanks dad, you aren't looking so hot yourself” he shrugged “What are you asking for this time?” he asked “I’m not after anything dad” answered Emma confused why that would be his first question and not “where have you been all this time” “I’m home” said Emma like this was the most obvious thing ever “And?” this shocked Emma “Are you sure he's your father?” asked Grace “Positive” shot back Emma, aloud she said “And I’ve been gone for years, I thought you would be happy to see me at least” Emma had not seen this side of her father much in her life but she knew just by looking at his body language that he was trying hard to hold back something, he got himself under control and answered “It has been a long time since I’ve been happy” this still didn't make sense, she knew he would take losing her hard but she thought he would eventually move on, her father was a strong man and besides she was back now “I didn't know you cared that much” said Emma both touched and disappointed that her father had not moved on since she had been away “Of course I care” whispered her father, Emma stood up and walked around to comfort her father “It's ok dad I’m back now” said Emma equally as quite, he threw off the hand she had laid on his back “Why are you here? Just to torture me?” “What? No none of that” answered Emma quickly “I get the feeling he has a few screws loose” said Nora not liking the situation “Then why would you return here Amelia?” the name was almost spat, in the back of Emma's mind the name spark something but Emma had her father to deal with first “Haven't you ruined my life enough” Emma recoiled at that, while it was true she was a bit of a handful at times growing up, she and her dad always got along well, there was no way she would deliberately hurt him much less ruin his life “Dad… I don't know what you think I have done…” the words failed her so she tried to explain “I was kidnapped for the last…” he cut her off “And you want me to feel sorry for you after what you did” the sadness and anger were mixing in the man's voice “No I…” Emma looked up to the wall were the picture used to be of their whole family, now there was just an empty wall “I thought you finally came here to apologize and own up to what you did but I see you are still too selfish” Emma ignored his statement because that picture had been her fathers pride and joy he had once told her that it would only be removed if his family were dead and this shook Emma to the core, far far worse than her father not sounding like himself “Where…” Emma squeaked and tried again “Where is everyone? Wheres mom, Jason…” He stared at her in disbelief “They're dead… you killed them” her terrifying thoughts were confirmed, they were dead and she… no it couldn't be, Emma ran out the kitchen and up the stairs calling the names of her family members. “Mom” said Emma opening the door to the room that once held her caring mother and loving father only to find her father's belongings, clearly nothing of her mothers. Jason's Room was completely empty just like the others “No no no” Emma muttered to herself and raked her hair “This can't be right” Emma just knew that it must be some horrible trick they were playing on her but the dust on the floor told her that these rooms had been vacant for quite some time “Get out” growled her father's voice “I don't know what your playing at but I will have none of it, get out” “It's a trick” muttered Emma to herself “GET OUT!” shouted her father and he hobbled to Emma, not believing any of what she was seeing but also not wanting to be on the bad side of her father she moved around him and down the stairs taking two at a time until the last few steps that Emma took too quickly and began to tumble. As if she was falling into honey things seemed to slow down around her till everything stopped and in the next blink of an eye she was no longer hanging in mid air but watching herself from the bottom of the staircase “What the…?” was all Emma could think to say, she was quite sure that she had never had an out of body experience before or could manipulate time for that matter “It's more like a dream than a super power” came a voice that Emma knew all too well because it was her own, spinning around it was like looking into a mirror “Soooo I’m not really falling down a staircase?” asked Emma more concerned with what she last remembered happening than this strangeness “Oh no you are but in times of stress it can seem like things slow down and here we are” Emma was somewhat used to the voices in her head but each of them had slight variants of her own voice but this mirrored her voice exactly and as strange as what was happening was, the voice was the thing that unnerved Emma the most “Sooo are we here to delay being in pain?” asked Emma, she had heard people say that in times of stress it was like time slowed down but this was ridiculous, at this rate she could easily make a meal before her next body part would touch something “More like to fill you in now that you know the truth” the moment the copy said truth it brought what she had been running from back to the foreground of her thoughts “Tell me it's not true” “I’m afraid it is” replied the copy “The family you thought you had, died some time ago” “Your all lying” said Emma not sounding as sure as the words “Come now, you know when father lies, was he lying?” asked the copy of Emma “No…” answered Emma softly “Just because he believes it doesn't mean it's true” the clone shook her head “You are just making the same mistakes I did” Emma peered closer at her doppelganger “Who are you?” the copy grimiced “You know who I am, you have been thinking about me the whole ride with Lin” Emma took a step to the clone “So it's true then” Emma’s face fell, Emma had been wondering if she was real or just another voice like Nora, Grace and Maddy, now coming face to face with this apparition she knew that she isn't real “Your Amelia… the original” said Emma softly “Amelia Gardener, yes” in the silence many thoughts flew through Emma's head like a rushing stream, passing over her quicker than she could latch onto any one thought “Why… why aren't you hear then? Why can't I remember their death? Why did I have to go through all this?” Emma's voice rose in volume with each question as if everything was the person, this Amelia's fault. Amelia looked sadned “To be honest I didn't think you would ever find out let alone make it back to our dimension… Rugosa or Rose as you know her was kind enough to take those painful memories awa…” Emma cut off Amelia in fury “She wasn't kind and you are a fucking COWARD! If it wasn't for the two of you I wouldn't be here to feel this pain of losing a family that isnt even mine, you should be here not ME!” the rush and anger of Emma's voice forced Amelia to step back “I just wanted…” tried Amelia but Emma was done, done with Amelia, done with Rose, done with this conversation and done with this messed up life that made no fucking sense “YOU ALL JUST USED ME TO MAKE YOUR OWN LIVES BETTER, screw the made up girl right? She won't care right? She's not much better than a robot that will thank you for the opportunity to be fucked at every turn in life right?” though her near screaming Emma didn't notice the world narrowing in and Amelia move away as if the whole world was made of rubber bands, stretching away “WELL FUCK YOU AND FUCK ROSE!” the world snapped back and time resumed forcing Emma to tumble down the last few stepps. Ignoring the pain Emma picked herself up and continued to run out the front door, not even bothering to stop and collect her bag from the kitchen, a thing that would have been easy to do before her hobbling father caught up with her but both the physical and emotional pain blinded her to any possessions she may have left in her haste to escape. So many thoughts flew through Emma's head for minutes after running out of the house, none louder than the ones telling her how badly she just wanted it all to end and when she got to the bridge an idea finally stuck in her head. The normally flowing river below the bridge was now dry and filled with rocks that would surely send her to the great beyond, standing atop the rail the gentle breeze was almost telling her that she was doing the right thing all it would take is one more step and the pain would be over, just… one… more… step. She couldn't do it, even with the pain she wanted to end she couldn't leave this life without knowing how her family died, instead she through Roses watch into the rockiest part that she could see as a final screw you to Rose and seeing it smash to bits felt like just that. Using the public library computer Emma read the news article how she was driving her family home and ran into an oncoming car, adding further salt to the wound the police found illicit drugs in her system, the article ended by telling the reader that “after being charged Amelia Gardener escaped custody and is believed to be on the run from the law”. Reading the new article sent Emma into a further depression, something she didn't think was possible, all the things she had done just to get back to a lie, it was all gone and there was no comfort to be found from the voices in her head who had left her altogether, she was now truly alone. Emma completely gave up on trying to make it to the bathroom and with her backpack of diapers left at her father's house she moped around with wet clothing, just barely eating enough food to live. Three days of moping around the public parks waiting to die Emma was finally confronted by the local police “Hello miss” Emma opened an eye from her place laying in the grass, the sun glared down at her, further burning her already sunburned skin “We have had reports that you have been here for the last couple of nights” said the male voice, Emma closed her eyes again, if the voice wanted something of her they could have it, she wouldn't fight them “Could you please pay attention miss” Emma groaned as loudly as her saw and dry throat would allow, the officer was sure the lady in front of him must be on something to be looking in this bad of a shape, footsteps joined the man “Here you go” Emma heard the newcomer pass something to the first voice then the sound of their startlement “Amelia… is that you?” asked the second voice, the voice sounded vaguely familiar but it was of little importance to Emma, all she cared about was the fact that the footsteps retreated from her. “Are you sure that's her?” asked the first officer after they had left earshot of the suspect “I was on guard the night she escaped, it's not the sort of thing you forget when you have no idea how they escaped” said the second officer, they both knew of Amelia having escaped their own police station, it's that sort of thing that made them look bad for quite sometime and now the chance to change that had just laid down in their backyard so to speak. Both officers thought their suspect would attempt to flea once it was known they knew who she was, instead Amelia remained as still as a rag doll and the ambulance was called. Emma awoke again for the… she didn't know how many times she had awoken, this time she was able to keep her eyes open for more than a second. She felt more drained than she had in her life, just trying to bring the white room into focus was using more energy than Emma thought she had. With effort Emma brought the room into focus, the white boring room could be nothing other than a hospital room “Not heaven then” thought a small voice, trying to raise her hand she felt something prevent her hand moving much, Emma raised herself up enough to see that she was handcuffed to the railing. Seeing the railing brought back some flashes of the previous couple of days none of them good, she wholeheartedly expected to be dead by now not cuffed to a hospital bed. Emma tried to bring her other hand over to try and remove the cuff but felt a stinging pain there, looking at her other hand showed she was connected to a drip, Emma always hated needles not because of the pain but because of the idea that something was forcing its way through her skin and she shuddered as she realised this one was tapped in. Emma knew she must have fallen asleep again or fainted she thought as she saw the dripp in her hand again, this time Emma was not alone, on a chair a good couple of meters from her a police officer was playing with his phone, he looked up and saw she was awake “Finally awake I see” he drawled, Emma growned and slumped back into her bed because she knew what must be coming next. Sure enough within ten minutes there were two more police officers and a doctor, Emma was only catching every second or so word of what everyone was saying but the basic idea that was forming in Emmas head was that after reading all the criminal charges against Emma, including the stolen bike, was that the doctor didn't want to move her just yet but the strangest of all was that Rose was standing there in the doorway just watching the whole thing take place. Even though her eyes told her that Rose was there watching she knew that it was just her mind playing tricks, the biggest giveaway was seeing someone walk right through her. The doctor got his way in the end and Emma was left with her guard and her thoughts “Playing sick isnt going to stop you going away for a long time you know” said the officer almost like he was talking to no one, just the air but it was clearly meant for Emma to hear, ignoring his words Emma thought about all the things that had happened, all the things she had done and stolen to get here, all for what? The large part of her family was dead and her remaining family hated her, the worst part was that she couldn't blame him “There's no escape this time” said the officer again to the air. Emma briefly thought about attempting to escape but gave up on that idea, she didn't know enough about all that, Nora now if she was here then maybe she stood a chance but no Emma was now on her own, Emma's eyes flicked to Rose standing there watching “No ones coming to save you this time” said the officer this time to Emma directly, but Emma remembered how Rose had told her that if she ever needed help all she had to do was ask and Rose would be there to offer all the help she could. Remembering Roses words brought back the other memories of her time with Rose and the Amazons, sure they were strange and quirky but they were also fun, the trip to the zoo was a strong memory for that and the more she remembered the more she thought that compared to everything she had experienced so far back in her home dimension it really wasn't so bad. It was decided that if she could return to Roses arms she would be her baby again “Ok…” said Emma in a low husky voice that she didn't recognise but continued anyway “I’m ready to go home… please help me Rose…” and in a voice so quietly she didn't even know if she said the word aloud she added “Mommy” the guard looked at her like he could not believe what he was hearing “Those doctors must be doping you up good, there is no way you are going home” Emma ignored him and watched as the figment of Rose walked off in the hallway out of sight, even knowing that she wasn't the real Rose, it was still painful to see her walk away the moment Emma finally asked for help but what did she expect she had Roses love but practically threw it in her face and came here, it was a bed of her own making and it was time to lay in it. Sleep helped some but when you try sleeping all day the night doesn't want to let you sleep as Emma was finding out the hard way, between the handcuffs and the drip there wasn't many positions Emma could use to sleep comfortably but she had finally found one and could tell she was just on the edge of sleep or consciousness when she heard the loud sound of something being smashed which brought her back to full wakefulness. Emma watched as her guard left to investigate what was happening, she was finally alone and she didn't even know how to slip off handcuffs, what a wasted opportunity that was, Emma curled back onto her side in the attempt to sleep again only to hear footsteps entering the room “The guard must be back” thought Emma, with her back to the guards chair she didn't just open her eyes to see him even if she cared too. Emma felt a hand on her shoulder gently shaking her which pissed her off, it was one thing to guard her it was another to lay hands on her unnecessarily “What do you…” started Emma as she turned to face not the face of the guard but the smiling face of Rose “Rose” said Emma excitedly, Roses smile grew larger “Hey meerkat, I heard you needed help” Emma's happy smile turned to sadness “Rose I’m sorry, I’m…” “Hush now, none of that” “But I was horrible to you and you were only trying to help me” sobbed Emma feeling like the Little she was back in Roses dimension “It's ok, we can talk later, for now we have to leave” Emma brought her non cuffed hand up to wipe away the tears that were trying to form in the corners of her eyes and felt the pain of the needle as her hand made contact “Here” Rose dabbed at Emma's eyes with her sleeve when she saw her Littles pain “Lets get you out of here then we can get caught up” said Rose and she showed Emma what had to be a key for the handcuffs. Even here in Emma's dimension Rose was tall, her head only just clearing the door frames as they were walking the hospital “Rose where are we going?” puffed Emma, they had barely gone a couple of doors and Emma was on the verge of collapsing “Here meerkat” ignoring Emma's question Rose took a knee and motioned for Emma to climb on “Rose you can't carry me here, I’m to heavy” whispered Emma trying to force her head to stop spinning by hugging the wall, Rose turned her head to face Emma “I can always carry you if you need me too, do you trust me?” given that all her family was gone yes, Rose was the only person that Emma truly trusted. Wordlessly Emma crossed the foot of distance between them and leaned her weight onto Rose, the moment Rose held Emma's legs in place Rose lifted herself off the ground with the same ease she had when Emma was the size of a toddler. “Thank you for saving me” Emma said weakly into Roses ear, she knew that she didn't deserve to be rescued from her own mess let alone know how Rose got here but she was extremely thankful that Rose came for her “You should know that I’m here to help you meerkat” Emma didn't reply, just leaned closer into Rose, enjoying her smell, her warmth and her very presence. Rose carried Emma all the way down to the basement level and into a restricted room, it looked like a supply room to Emma “Before we go any further I need to know that you want to come with me” Rose knelt down to allow Emma off her back as she spoke “What do you mean?” asked Emma puzzled, in her head it was already decided that if Rose would want to have her Emma would follow Rose to the better life she offered “I can't offer you the same life you left because of Dave…” Emma winced at his name, it was because of Emma herself that Dave was even apart of Roses life any more “You could stay here and…” Emma shook her head violently at that idea “You know what happened to my family” it wasn't a question but Rose answered any way “I do…” said Rose slowly clearly saddened that Emma had to find out all by herself “I’m going with you… if you still want me” said Emma meekly “Oh meerkat, I wouldn't have it any other way” Rose pulled Emma into a hug, they stood there for seconds that could have been minutes or hours, each content with being in the others arms again. Rose finally had to break off their embrace “If you come with me we might have to be on the run for some time and even if we find a safe place for a while we still may have to leave at a moments notice” that didn't sound good but as long as she had Rose Emma knew she would be safe and they would be happy “I’m coming with you, after all your my… you're my mommy” said Emma, she may not be Roses real daughter but Rose was as good as family why not be Roses baby girl, after all as strange as the life she offered was it was better than the one she had here. Rose through her arms around Emma to try and show just how thankful Rose was “Thank you Emy” Emma wasn't sure why Rose was thanking her after all things had only gone bad because of Emma not Rose “Thank you” whispered Rose again, she released Emma and like a leader addressing her army she said “I think it's time we go home” Emma was very happy to hear that but looked around at the closed off room “Umm… how are we getting home?” asked Emma, Rose walked into the middle of the room and waved her hand around to reveal a shimmer in the air “Are you ready to go home?” asked Rose taking a knee once more “Never been more ready” answered Emma and happily hopped onto Roses back once more for the world to start spinning then fade with a final message ringing in her head from a voice she knew to be Maddys “Thank you for going back to mommy” as the last of Emma's senses faded away Emma knew that Maddys words were a final goodbye. Emma felt the movement before she was fully awake but while that was the equivalent of a gentle rocking motion that could almost send her to sleep again but the shouting woke her “...that Little is the property of Arctic Labs” Emma's eyes fluttered open to see a large airport type lounge spanning out in front of her then the security looking Amazons surrounding them “You are not taking her” Roses voice sounded like it had claws to it, Emma looked at her mommy to see the anger on her face, still resting on Roses back Emma could feel every syllable Rose spoke “Whats going on?” asked Emma confused “Nothing sweety, go back to sleep” the flip in Roses voice was fast as the Amazon realised her Little had awoken “Be reasonable Rose, you know you have nowhere to go” a man stepped forward and Emma saw Dave looking as smug as the last time she had seen him “Oh no” squeaked Emma and tried to hide herself behind Roses shoulder, as nice as the Amazon had been to her, she now knew that he was no friend of hers and would only make trouble for Rose “Just return the Little you kidnapped and we won't press charges” said Dave putting on the tone of a concerned parent, being the smart Little she was Emma looked around at came to realise that they were indeed surrounded by guards of some kind and the only reason they hadn't just taken what they wanted was because Rose was effectively using Emma as a hostage but with both of Roses hands used to hold Emma up there was no way Rose could fight back “She's not yours” spat Rose “This licence says otherwise” replied Dave holding up something that looked like a drivers licence from her own dimension “It's fake” said Rose quickly “It's not fake miss” said one of the security guards “Just give us the Little and the law will go easy on you” “I don't want to go with him” said Emma still trying to hide behind Rose “I will…” started Rose but three things happened all at once, Emma felt hands pull her off of Roses back with shouts of fear which caused Rose to spin round mid sentence as she felt her Little being forcibly taken from her allowing the remaining guards to pounce on Rose preventing her from launching herself a the guards holding her screaming Little “No, let go, let go I want to be with Rose” screamed the Little as she was being rushed away from her Amazon. Every thump of her fist, every kick of her leg seemed to mean nothing to the Amazon whisking her away as she watched Rose try to fling away the guards holding her with the last sight of Rose that Emma saw being Roses outstretched hand.

Lol thanks for the comments @Scarlet, @Mugi and @Cuddy Princess, I actually dont like how I've written it since Emma "got back to her dimension" so I'm glad someone does. @Cuddy Princess you make a valid point with Emma not really going home and I added something for that when I wrote this last month, for now you will have to wait and see ? This story is wrapping up, I'm currently writing the last chapter and after that's finished I'll release the remaining parts as I proof read them, no point making everyone wait for no reason when the story is done, for now heres another part. *** Part 31 Travel “She can't be here, I’m losing my mind” Emma was on the bed after checking that all the doors and windows were locked good and tight, in the dark every smell, every touch was replaying itself through her mind and the worst thing… “She knows we are here” “Who?” asked Grace in a strangely calm voice “Rose, she's here to drag me back and become her prisoner again” fingernails raked Emma's face as all of these thoughts and memories fed on each other making everything that much worse. The only thing that calmed Emma’s mind was the childish act of hiding under the bed covers in the dark, there the outside world could not touch her only her mind could spin out of control “Shes here, I should have gone with them, I’m not a baby, I’m not, I’m not...” worse and worse went her thoughts. As Emma’s mind was losing grip of it's sanity two of the other voices that shared her mind were having their own discussions “She's really losing it” said Grace “How would you be after something like that?” asked Nora putting on an overconfident tone to her voice “I must admit I turned away while all that was happening” answered Grace “Then let me tell you if they had have gone through with… that, it would have been the worst day of her life and probably fucked her up for years to come” there was a silence between the imaginary voices as they both heard the ramblings of Emma “Is that why you are so… well… ready for anything?” “It is” answered Nora “I swore it would never happen again then that happened… we got lucky you know” “Very lucky” replied Grace, their silence was once again filled with the near unintelligible ramblings of Emma “Why didn't you take over and beat them up?” asked Grace eventually “It wouldn't have made a difference, you felt how tightly they were holding onto us… besides I tried, it was like Emma wasn't letting me take control” “Maybe she thought she could handle it by herself?” “I don't know” the whole ordeal could not have lasted more than a couple of minutes at most but it shook Emma to her core, disterbed Grace and brought up memories that Nora would have rather forgotten “Did Emma really see Rose?” asked Grace “It definitely looked like there was someone there but I don't know if it was Rose, we are voices in her head whos to say she's not now seeing things too…” both of them thought about this and hoped it wasn't true, their own existence was strange enough, they didn't need more. At some point during the evening Emma wore herself out and mercifully fell asleep, this was good for her troubled mind since the sleep was dreamless but it wasn't as good for the condition of the pullup she did not change before going to sleep. The eyes of Emma opened with another seeing through them “Well we're awake” thought Nora then with the normal mental and physical probing that everyone does as they awake from slumber she realised that the other voices were still sleeping “Well this is new” she thought wondering how she was the only one awake, it was shortly after this thought her probing found the condition of the pullup “Well I was wrong it can hold more than it looks” said Nora, there was no doubt the pull up was at its maximum and with how flimsy it looked Nora wondered how it hadn't already leaked, getting out of bed revealed the small wet patch on the sheets “Ok… it didn't quite hold everything” Nora sighed and set to work removing the wet pullup and reluctantly putting on one of the diapers after all it wasn't even midnight yet a pullup would just not last with their nightly habits. Emma found herself waking with the memories of the night before slowly trickling in and her melt down after and she felt ashamed, she knew she shouldn't but she did, she said she would do anything to get back home so a couple of fuckwits wouldn't stop her from getting there, taking a deep breath in she decided to put it out of her mind, those dicks are probably long gone and she was not in a crib instead she was in a… rundown crappy motel room, she breathed out, the room Rose gave her was always clean unlike this place “But we control our own life here” replied Nora to Emmas internal thoughts “I know, I don't want to get back… I just can't help comparing things” Emma pushed herself up and noticed the difference between her legs “Didn't we go to sleep with the pullup?” asked Emma “Oh that, yea I changed us some time last night” replied Nora with a yawn “You can do that?” “I guess so” shrugged Nora “I’m insane” murmured Emma while rubbing her eyes “We all know that” said Grace cheerfully. After a shower, a new pull up and doing her morning business they hit the road once more not wanting to get a meal at the pub again even if it were open. “We have to” shot back Nora “I don't want to hitchhike” complained Emma “It has been hours and I swear I can still see that crappy town behind us” there is no way Nora could but it made her point… somehow “What if we get someone like those guys from last night?” “Then let me take over and I’ll kick the crap out of them” Emma sighed, she was hungry and already tired of walking, all that time being carried or pushed around in a stroller by Rose had clearly taken its toll on her stamina “Fine” breathed Emma and started to hold out her thumb as each vehicle passed them. It was another hour or so before they finally had someone pull over “Thank god, it's too freaking hot out here” said Emma to herself and ran to the driver side of the large truck “Where you heading little lady?” asked the gruff female voice, Emma blinked in confusion of the strangeness, she expected those words to come from a fat old dude not a woman “Um…” Emma collected herself and told the driver “Your in luck, I’m heading that way myself, I can get you about ninety percent of the way there” Emma was again shocked, this driver would be crossing two state borders “That would be amazing” replied Emma still not believing her luck “You pay for a couple of meals and the rides yours, I could use the company” said the woman with a smile “Sure, sounds great” “Hop in then” the woman motioned for Emma to round the cab and she did, eager to get on the road and more importantly out of the heat. Emma was starting to wish she had been picked up by some old dude… well no not really but Lin, the truckers name, she talked near non stop, Emma got the impression she didn't have a lot of conversations with other people and you wouldn't think it would matter to a person like her just by looking at her but it did stop Emma's mind from drifting back to last night. “So what you running from? Family I’ll bet” Emma had to catch up with the conversation since her brain had been running on autopilot, now being asked a question she had to participate more than an agreement or the occasional chuckle for a joke “Don't worry I won't tell anyone” “She wanted to be my family” answered Emma slowly trying to let her words be lost to the engine noise “So an ex then?” Emma shook her head “No… she’s…“ Emma tried to find the words to explain Rose to this stranger without going into the unbelievable story of crossing dimensions “She was…” Emma couldn't find the right thing to say, how could she explain that this giant wanted to keep her as a baby, what did you even call them to you? Kidnapper? No that somehow still implied Emma herself was still a child “I get it, it's hard to describe because of how new it was” said Lin, could this woman also read Emma's mind like it seemed Rose was able to, no that was silly “Yeah I guess so” answered Emma “How long were you together?” asked Lin “Three months” Emma didn't know why she was telling this complete stranger any of this, she thought that she would never talk about that part of her life ever again, Emma for some reason she didn't know gave a vastly edited version of her time in the other dimension to Lin. There was a silence between the two of them as Emma finished telling her tale to this stranger “It does sound like this Rose person probably should have told you about her past but also that was her past, we all have them, can you say that yours doesn't have anything in it you wish you hadn't done?” Of course she had, Emma wished she hadn't tried to take the last few pieces of chocolate from her grandmother, Emma was sure she couldn't sit right for a week after that punishment “I heard something like a poem once that seems to fit quite nicely for your situation, now how did it go again… every rose begins its life in the dark of the earth slowly gathering the life giving nutrients it can until that final day it breaks free and can enjoy the light of the sun while also sharing it's newfound beauty with those who see it” Emma wondered if that really was a poem, it didn't sound right “So you think that she started life in a dark place and is now a good person?” asked Emma trying to make sense of the so called poem “I can't say for sure because I have never met this Rose of yours but my brother was a bit of a dick but then he and his wife had a child and he told me that was the ray of sunshine that made him truly want to change his ways, it was him who told me that thing about the rose” Lin was grinning “If you want this strangers option, go home for awhile like you are then visit or talk to your friend again, just because she's in a different country doesn't mean you can't try to patch things up with her” Actually there wasn't any way that Emma knew of how to contact Rose even if she wanted to, but she made an agreement sound and Lin changed the subject. “Are you alright?” asked Lin a few hours after their talks about Rose, Emma had her hands between her legs and was slowly moving from side to side in an attempt to hold back the flood gates she knew was trying to break through, it was great that she could feel the need to use the toilet again but there was no god damn toilet in sight “I’m fine” lied Emma “Ok you just look like your about to wet yourself” Emma looked away to try and cover her shame of being caught so easily “Oh… um… why don't we stop for some lunch, there's a truck stop about ten minutes up the road” Emma vigorously nodded her agreement, every bump was torture upon unending torture for those ten minutes. The moment the truck stopped Emma was out the door and running as fast as she could with her full bladder to the restroom, in seconds of getting into the room Emma had her pants down and was on the toilet, if only her bladder hadn't decided to start releasing the moment her pants were down she could have said she made it. “Did you make it?” asked Lin smirking when Emma was walking back to the truck “Yea” chuckled Emma nervously “You should have said you needed the toilet” said Lin “I didn't want to distract you from your delivery, your doing so much for me” answered Emma bowing her head slightly, Lin shrugged “Come on, I need some food”. Inside the truck stop there was a variety of almost every kind of junk food Emma knew of “I highly recommend the burgers if you're stumped on what to have, unless you're one of those vegans or something then theres something over there” Lin pointed to the corner of the store where there was a very small collection of foods but it was dwarfed by the sheer amount of the junk food “No no I was just looking” said Emma recovering from being startled by Lin “Well just remember this is your shout” said Lin “Ah… yes” replied Emma looking at the three iced coffees in Lin’s arms and Emma briefly wondered how on earth Lin would be able to drive for long with that much coffee “Thats easy” replied Grace in her head “Care to explain?” asked Emma after Grace finished “Really? You haven't worked it out… here's a hint, you are wearing them too” Emma shook her head in annoyance “Not everyone we meet wears diapers!” shot back Emma as loud as she could in her own head, Emma felt the laughter of Grace and strangely Maddy, shaking her head slightly in an attempt to ignore the voices in her head and ended up just getting a second of the burger Lin had ordered. Back on the road Emma was half way through her burger before Lin was finally on a stretch of road she could start eating her own meal. Emma watched as Lin was through her first iced coffee and onto her second before even getting half way through her burger “Umm not be be rude but isn't having that many coffees bad for a truck driver?” Lin laughed “For most drivers sure” Emma thought Lin must have a bladder of iron… “Whats your secret? Bladder of iron?” asked Emma, Lin laughed harder “God no, it's the same as yours I would expect” Emma deliberately looked away from Lin “Oh” cherpped Emma, it couldn't be the same “Here” Emma turned back to Lin and watched as Lin revealed the top of what was clearly a white diaper “fuck , my world isnt real, just the delusions of some twisted person” sobbed Emma on the inside as both Maddy and Grace were laughing their heads off “Umm…” Emma didn't want to admit it or even talk about diapers for that matter, this went beyond coincidence, she had to be dreaming or having a nightmare more like “You must be new to it” said Lin and flicked a small piece of the pullup that had stuck out above Emma's jeans “Shit!” hissed Emma and poked it into her pants once more “Don't worry” laughed Lin “You've got more control than I do if you made it to the toilet back there” Emma just growned, her life wasn't just messed up it had to be weird too. With the day and a half passing Emma no longer felt like talking with Lin even though Lin was more than happy talking to Emma for the many more hours that passed. Emma felt the light shaking trying to bring her back to consciousness “Mmm…” “We are here” came Lin’s words “Here?” Emma looked around at the dark surrounding the cab of the truck “This is as far as I can take you” said Lin, Emma rubbed her eyes while trying to take in Lins words “What time is it?” asked Emma “Sorry, it's three in the morning, I need to turn off here and get some shut eye but that will take you away from your destination” Emma finally understood what was going on “Oh… thank you” Emma collected her bag and water bottle “It's been great having the company, if you follow the road that way it will take you to the place you wanted” Emma nodded and thanked Lin again “And Emma” Emma turned back to face Lin “Remember what I said about your friend, no one is all evil” Emma nodded once more and got out of the truck. Emma stretched as the truck took off down the road, the moon was light enough to see by but it was still clearly early morning “What now?” asked Grace, Emma looked around and realised she recognised the intersection Lin had dropped her at “We are only three towns away from home” the excitement was growing in her voice “That sounds like a lot of walking” said Grace “You better change first” Emma mentally felt the wet pull up between her legs “God damn it” she cursed and stormed off into the nearby bushes. Emma felt bad flinging the used pull up into the bushes but figured it would dissolve and no one would have to deal with it, it wasn't like she had spare room in her bag even if she wanted to hold onto it… which she didn't. “So close yet so far” said Emma as they walked into the small town that she knew because some of her school friends lived in the town “Could we get a ride from one of them?” asked Nora who was clearly tired of the walking and letting it show in her voice “If I had my phone sure” Emma thought about it a bit longer “Then again I might know where one of them live” it had been years since Emma had been to his place but she thought it was worth a shot if she didn't have to walk the rest of the way home which could take days by foot. The morning sun was starting to rise above the houses allowing Emma to get a better look at the buildings “Please tell me we are almost there” groaned Nora “I think so” replied Emma getting quite exhausted herself, why did Dylan have to live out in the stix. “Here it is… finally” said Emma now really feeling how out of shape she was, the house was nothing special to look at but if Emma was right sleeping inside was her ride back to her life even if that meant having to explain to her friend where she had been for the last couple of months “Do you have anything in mind of what you are going to say about where you have been?” asked Nora “Nope, just wing it I suppose” without dwelling further Emma began walking up the garden path to the front door only to stop half way as the door opened to reveal a teen aged girl walking out in her running clothes “Oh” the girl jumped as she saw Emma standing there “Ah… hello” said Emma not recognising the girl “Hi…” said the girl tentatively “Can I help you?” “I was wondering if Dylan Viney was home?” the girl looked puzzled “No one with that name lives here” “Crap we have the wrong house” complained Nora in Emmas head “Hmm… would you happen to know where he lives?” asked Emma sure that this was his house, she remembered the broken porch swing that was still sitting there useless “I’ve never heard of him” replied the girl “Maybe he moved since we were away” whispered Grace trying to be helpful, Emma paused for a moment like she was thinking “I was sure he lived here… I don't suppose you moved here recently?” asked Emma “I’ve lived here all my life so no” answered the girl, Emma's heart fell at hearing those words, her quick ride home was gone “Ok… thanks” Emma started to turn to leave but had a last thought “Do you know if there's a bus stop around here?” “Just around the corner” replied the girl slowly and pointed down the street “Thanks” Emma left without another word. Emma found that the buses didn't start till eight so she thankfully had some time to sit down and rest “That might not have been his house” said Nora out of the blue as Emma was starting to drift off to sleep “I remember that swing, it's hard to forget when it broke as you were sitting on it” mumbled Emma and a smirk came to her face as the memory of her first kiss came back to her, if she hadn't known better she would have thought her father planned that to happen just before the kiss “Yea yea very memorable, so if he doesn't live here what could be the reason?” asked Nora “Bad memory on Emma's part, the girl was lying, we aren't really in our dimension…” Emma opened an eye at hearing Nora's words “You think Kaylee dumped us in another different dimension?” asked Emma “Maybe but I was wondering if we are dreaming or in Virtual reality or something equally weird” “That sort of thing doesn't exist” retorted Nora “Just like other dimensions don't exist?” asked Grace, the three of them fell silent as they realised their thoughts on how the world worked were so much bigger now and that ment they couldn't assume anything. No conclusion was reached with the discussions they had on the bus, just like most of the last few months there was nothing they could do whether they were or were not in VR or another dimension, aside from trying to pry off a non existent VR headset before the bus had arrived, they were here and this was the life they had to work with. Just as Emma thought getting off at the bus depot was the right call because there was another charter bus heading past her home town in an hour or so. After paying for her ticket Emma headed off to get some food from the take away store down the road “Just think, in two hours all this mess can be over, we can forget all about Rose and get back to our old life” said Nora “Well yours” Nora corrected “Im sure thats got to be better than being in the other place” said Emma “For sure, just make sure to work on this whole diaper thing” Emma agreed, she had been dry this far so that was progress. The bus came too quick and not fast enough as Emma was rushing out of the bathroom when her bus was called. Emma used the ride to sleep, drifting in and out till she heard it “Stop for Nambrok” Opening her eyes as the bus coasted to a stop Emma saw the town she knew so well, she was home “I am finally here” said Emma softly and collected her bag to exit the bus. Each step she saw that almost nothing had changed since she had left apart from the odd paint job and some of the gardens. The old Lady who ran the local cafe was cleaning the table just like she did every day, it was tempting to drop in and get a drink before going home but she owed it to her family to see them first then she could catch up with everyone in town “They are going to be so happy to see us” said Nora “If I know them they sure are” smiling to herself Emma forced herself past the shops and onto the final road that would take her home.

Part 30 Outta there They didn't get far before Nora spoke up "Looks like there is a shopping centre up the road, let's pull in and get some new clothes I'm not liking riding with a dress" the breeze had been blowing the dress around and Grace had been doing a good job holding it in place but it left her driving with only one hand most of the time "I wouldn't mind getting some warmer clothes myself" added Emma. They came to the turn off, Grace indicated and turned into the parking lot, as far as shopping centres went it was quite small "Where did you learn to ride a motorbike?" Asked Emma as Grace turned off the bike "You know… around" she answered and slipped back to being a passenger as Emma retook control of the body, Emma wondered if Grace even knew where she had learned anything seeing as how the three of them weren't real, just a collection of separate memory's in her head thanks to the Amazon Rose. Despite being small there were many clothing stores to choose from the moment Emma stepped foot inside the main building “Now I’m starting to feel like I’m home, just need daddys credit card” Emma briefly wondered if Nora was joking but ended up ignoring her statement and went over to the closest store “Not that one, jezz don't you know anything, the best shops will be further in” said Nora “We don't need fashion, we need function” replied Emma internally and started to browse the store “Just because we aren't home yet doesn't mean we can't look good” whined Nora “We don't know how much we are going to need to get home so we will be spending the least possible” said Emma firmly in her mind “Is something wrong miss?” asked a woman's voice from beside Emma, Emma turned to see a store employee looking at her “No” replied Emma simply “Oh good you looked like you were annoyed at something” said the employee “Just thinking about something” replied Emma, the woman nodded like this made complete sense “Well is there anything I can help you with today?” asked the Woman “As a matter of fact there is” replied Emma. Emma left the store with three sets of every article of clothing and was aloud to change into a set using the change room, Emma had forgotten how uncomfortable it was wearing a bra again, now she wore a pair of loose fitting jeans despite the sales woman telling her all about how skinny jeans were all the rage at the moment and a hoodie "At least this is warmer" commented Emma feeling more at home, Emma had come to the conclusion that there were three things that made a place home, the people, the food and the clothing. Emma had just gotten the third of her ideas of home and was now working on the second, food and it wouldn't be long till she found the first. "They have a burger bar" said Emma happily Ah no, do you know how fattening those are?" Asked Nora in disgust "Burgers are what make life worth living so we are getting one" Nora tried arguing all the way to the register but Emma ignored her and ordered her meal. That was so good" smiled Emma happily patting her stomach "Eww I feel like we have just eaten a gallon of grease" complained Nora "It was just an egg and bacon roll, get over it" Emma could vaguely hear Nora continuing to complain in the background but Emma could not be happier, she had money, stollen yes but money and she had eaten normal sized food not the oversized stuff she was eating back in Roses dimension. Emma was happily walking back to the parking lot when she stopped in her tracks as she saw someone she recognised, someone who should not have been there “Rose” said Emma softly, she blinked and the figure of Rose was gone “Wheres mommy?” asked Maddy excitedly, Emma blinked again and looked at the location she thought she had seen the Amazon, there was no sign of her “I… I must have been imagining her” said Emma slowly, Maddy was clearly upset at that news and withdrew again “Maybe your more insane than we thought” said Nora deadpan “Shut up” shot Emma even though she was wondering the exact same thing herself. Just to be sure she hadn't missed the Amazon walk off Emma examined the faces of her fellow shoppers as she walked along “Um… I think we should go in there” said Grace pointing over to a store, breaking Emma out of her own thoughts Emma looked at the store in question “Why do we need to go into a pharmacy?” asked Emma but answered her own question as she said it “We are going to need more diapers” said and thought Grace and Emma at the same time, Emma sighed and knew Grace was right, her bladder control wasn't getting any better yet so she had better get some more protection, maybe she could get those pullup things Rose had used the first couple of days. With heart racing and trying to hide the fact that she was in the store at all Emma walked the isles thinking that everyone she passed knew exactly why she was there and what she was going to buy as absurd as that seemed “They know, they all know” thought Emma starting to feel her cheeks grow warm just at the thoughts. Finally Emma arrived at the incontinence isle and stared at the large range of diapers and pull ups “Where do I even start?” asked Emma to her imaginary voices “This is not a subject I have experience in” commented Nora, just as surprised at just how many brands of diapers there were, yet every single one of them were white unlike the ones Rose used, even the one currently hugging Emma's hips had an autumn leaf pattern, Emma hated to admit it but she had come to expect seeing all the different designs Rose came out with, these ones in comparison were… well… boring "Would you like any help?" Asked a male voice from behind Emma, she jumped in fright and if she was honest her padding may have become a bit damper, heart still racing Emma turned to see a white coated male about her own age standing there with a friendly smile even though if looked friendly Emma was sure in that moment it was a condescending smile just because she needed diapers and he didn't… lucky bastard “I umm… there for a friend… I mean a relative” Emma blurted out in a rush to cover her butt “Very good, would you like some help choosing a brand for your relative, you looked lost staring at the products and I’m here to help” he smiled his friendly smile again and Emma frowned thinking “why did he have to be good looking” “Umm yes” stammered Emma to the man, he nodded “Do you know what type of product you're looking for?” he asked “Umm” Emma couldn't even say the word, she never thought trying to buy diapers would be worse than actually wearing them “Let's start with this, does your relative need them for the day, night or both?” asked the man “Ah both” Emma choked out and felt her face grow warmer “Ok, next how much control do they have? I mean are they a light, medium or heavy wetter?” Emma chewed on her lip for a second wishing she was anywhere else… well except maybe the Amazons dimension “Mommy wouldn't make us do this and make us feel better” said Maddy a little snobby sounding, Emma tried to ignore Maddy and answer the guys question “Heavy” whispered Emma while looking at the guys shoes, she felt like she was a child again admitting she had just wet the bed to this stranger no less “Then I recommend going with these types” He grabbed a pack off the shelves and showed Emma “They are an all in one product, good for day and night use, I know they look like baby diapers but I’m sure your relative would be much happier wearing these then what's currently happening” Emma nodded still not wanting to look at the man “Lastly I just need to know the size of your relative” Emma chewed on her lip again not even knowing what to say to that “Umm… five foot…” she started but the guy cut in “Sorry miss that's my fault for the misunderstanding, I ment waist size” Emma mentally kicked herself of course he meant waist size not hight but Emma didn't know her own waist size or even if diapers went on the same size as normal pants “Umm… they are… about the same size as me” Emma said shakily and she felt the guy look her up and down, Emma wished a hole would just swallow her there and then, even with her masterful lying there was no way he would believe the diapers were for a relative now, she may as well have just come out and said they were for her. The employee looked Emma over for a second then placed the package he had been holding and picked out another one “Here we go, I think these ones should fit someone around your size” said the guy handing Emma the package “Umm thank you” said Emma looking down at the diapers in her hands “Your welcome, is there anything else I can help with?” Emma hated that she had to ask but it had to be done “Do you… you have… pull ups in this size?” God this was the worst moments of her life “Yes, just down here” the Employee walked a couple of paces, looked at the shelves then plucked out another pack of incontinence products “Depending on how bad your relatives condition is these should do the job but it is recommended to use the products you currently have because they hold more” Emma nodded not trusting herself to speak “Is that all?” Emma's mind had practically frozen up by now and just nodded wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible “If you want, I can take these up to the cash register for you” Emma nodded and handed the pack of diapers to him, he took it and casually strolled off like he was carrying two bags of washing not two bags containing the fact the buyer of said bags couldn't use the toilet unlike so many children could do with ease, Emma turned to follow him as she saw a boy bordering on his teens standing at the end of the isle snickering at the sight “Kill me now” said Emma and forced herself to walk past the boy and up to the cash register. Emma got to the register and there he was waiting as if all this was the most normal thing in the world “That will be…” he told her the price and Emma fished it out of the stolen wallet, he took the money then handed over the change “Would you like these in a bag?” Emma didn't even think about it and nodded, he placed the two packs of diapers into a large plastic bag and handed them over to her “If I might say miss…” this time his smile faltered for a moment “A dress might hide them better” she stared at him in shock, he knew, there was no doubt now, she looked at his name tag “No you may not Jason” snapped Emma and stormed out of the pharmacy in a combination of sheer embarrassment and fury that he a complete stranger would tell her how to dress. “To be fair he didn't tell you how to dress just offered advice to hide them better” said Nora as Emma speed walked for the malls exit “How should he know they were for us huh? Hes probably sexest and thinks that all women should be…” Grace cut her off “Pull your shirt down” Emma froze and reached behind her to feel the shirt and hoodie material bunched into the back of the diaper, it must have been on full display that whole time, Emma quickly pulled them back down to cover her diaper again “I just want to die” groaned Emma. It was a tight fit but Emma managed to fit the two bags of diapers into her now filled to capacity backpack then hit the road once more after all they decided to ditch the bike by four in the afternoon so they had to hustle if they wanted to get as far as they could. Before hitting the open road Emma asked Grace to stop in at the tourist information center “Where are you heading?” asked the woman behind the desk as Emma was looking at the collection of maps, Emma told her “If your planning to drive you’ve got a couple days travel ahead of you” Emma smiled to the woman “Yea I thought I might, can you recommend the maps I will need to get there” “Sure” answered the woman and rounded the desk to get to Emma “I’m surprised you're not using your phone, I don't see your generation in here these days because of those things” there was no malice in the woman's voice, it was just a statement of fact “I would if I could” thought Emma “Yea I’m trying to do this old school” said Emma, the woman chuckled “I bet one of your older relatives put you up to this right?” Emma tried to chuckle too “Yeah that's right” “Well then you will need this one… this one… and this one” she continued to explain what each would be good for and the basics on how to read the maps. Once Emma had all the information she needed and her maps she thanked the woman and was back onto the open road, now with a proper direction for Grace to guide by. Since Emma was only a passenger as Grace drove she tried to think of what else they had to do but came up blank and just tried to entertain herself by playing eye spy with Nora, Emma thought Maddy would have joined in but she was remaining silent “I spy with my little eye something beginning with D” “It had better not be dead tree again” sighed Nora, Emma huffed “It is but what else is there?” they had been driving for hours and the fastest route home was basically through a desert with nothing but the occasional dead tree and sand and… well actually that was basically all there was, Emma suddenly felt her bladder release but since she wasn't in the driver's seat so to speak there was nothing she could do to stop the flow “Grace what are you doing we are supposed to be trying to use the toilet” growled Emma “I have been holding that for the last hour, where in that period did you see a bathroom or a building for that matter” Nora spoke up “I’m sure you all know my opinion on these diapers but there are three things that slow us down, fuel, food and bathroom breaks, the more of these we can eliminate the further we go with this bike, after that we are back to walking” Emma felt the hunger pains creeping up just as the others surely did but Nora was right and she did swear to herself that she would do anything to get back home even if that meant using the diapers a little bit longer, she could always work on regaining control after getting home, Emma sighed and went back to her pointless game with Nora. The hunger pains continued off and on all the way to their destination, a tiny little town who's most prominent building was either the pub or the hardware store right beside it "It's time to ditch the bike but we can't leave it here in town" said Grace driving slowly through the town's very small main road "Keep heading out of town and find some bushes we can hide it in, that should buy us a couple of days before it's found" Said Nora looking at the town with clear disgust "A small town should make it harder to find" added Emma “still a terrible place to stay” said Nora “there's nothing wrong with small towns” “says the farm girl” Emma rolled her eyes at Nora and they both remained silent until the bike was stashed away. The best place they could find to hide the bike also meant a thirty minute walk back to town, none of them were impressed because of the wet diaper hanging from their legs “we are going to get a rash at this rate” complained Nora, Emma facepalmed "Shit, we don't have any things to cleanup with" growned Emma "What why not? there were some when Jenny gave us the bag" said Nora "When we got the diapers back from the bin I didn't even think about the powder and all that, they must have sunk under the paper towels" "And the pharmacy?" "That guy got me all bothered and I forgot to get some" Emma was really kicking herself for this one, she herself could not ever remember having a diaper rash but she had heard how bad they could be "Fuck" Emma kicked at the dirt underfoot "When we get a room for the night just remember to wash thoroughly" said Grace, Emma nodded and continued her walk back into town. It turned out that just behind the pub was a small ten room motel, it took a bit of convincing and a bit of extra money for them to accept them but thanks to the quick thinking of Nora they had a room for the night without using ID “I can't believe it, they took half of our money” Complained Nora “You got us the room let's just get changed and have dinner then have an early night” Emma opened the door to their room for the night “Bit of a crap hole” commented Nora “It's not that much worse than the last one” said Emma “We didn’t pay for that” replied Nora, Emma nodded her agreement and closed the door. Throwing her bag to the ground Emma checked that she couldn't be seen from the window and dropped her pants “I don't think this diaper could have held another wetting” commented Emma “I’m surprised it didn't leak” added Grace as they all saw the sodden mess hanging from their hips “Too it's credit it doesn't seem to smell” said Nora “Or we have grown used to it” replied Emma, without further discussion Emma untapped the diaper, rolled it up and placed it in the bin. During her shower Emma wondered what the cleaner would think when they found the used diapers in the bin tomorrow, she almost smiled at the thought then realised that someone else was having to clean up after her again killing her almost happy mood. Reluctantly Emma opened the bag of pullups and pulled one out to examine “Dam that looks flimsy” said Nora in disgust “Are you sure it can even do the job?” “The guy said that it would” answered Emma and pulled it up her legs, if it wasn't for the stretchy sides Emma could almost imagine these were her old underwear. Fully dressed once more and not feeling like she had a waddle Emma walked into the pub looking for food, immediately the people in the pub watched her “I have pants on right?” asked Emma in her head “Pretty sure” answered Nora, with that reassurance Emma walked up to the counter like she did this everyday and most of the eyes left her for what they had been looking at “Hey, could I get something to eat here?” asked Emma to the guy behind the counter “Menus up there” pointed the guy without looking up from the book work he appeared to be working on, Emma quickly scanned the small menu, it was clear you were meant to drink here not eat “Can I get some chips to take away?” “Sit down only” answered the guy in his bored voice, Emma rolled her eyes “Fine I’ll have it to sit down” “And your drink?” he asked “I don't want a drink” answered Emma, again without looking up he pointed to the menu, Emma looked it over again and saw in small print “no food without the purchase of a drink” “What the f…” Emma started under her breath “Fine a water” Emma smirked thinking she had gotten the best of the stupid rule “Only drinks from the menu” droled the man, Emma breathed in and scanned the menu… again, there wasn't one single drink that wasn't alcoholic on the menu, she ordered the cheapest drink there, paid and sat down at a table. The meal if you could call it that was terrible and the beer equally didn't agree with her taste buds, forcing her to scull the last of it “God that was terrible” mumbled Emma under her breath and stood up to leave only to find herself stumbling for no apparent reason "Leg must have fallen asleep" thought Emma, she caught herself and walked out without further trouble. As she was walking back to the motel room Emma quickly glanced behind her as she saw three men following her "Maybe they are going to the motel too?" Thought Emma "The receptionist told us no one else was staying tonight" said Nora in response, Emma turned the corner that would decide if they were following her or not, there was only the motel down this area. Another quick glance and yep they turned down and Emma could now see they each had a beer in hand "Hey pretty lady wanna have some fun with us" called one of the men, Emma turned back and started to move faster "Oh come on I know you like to party, you city girls are all the same" Emma heard their footsteps quicken then turn into a full on run, before Emma could get a dozen of her own running steps the men held her to the wall “Why you runnin?” asked the guy right in Emma's face, she could smell more than one beer in that breath “Please I don't want any trouble” said Emma now scared that she knew what was coming “Don't panic, stay calm” said Nora in her head “Good we don't want trouble either, we just want to party seeing it's friday night and we know you'll be down to party right?” said one of the men holding her right arm, Emma tried once more to break free from their grips only to find them holding tighter, Emma shook her head not trusting her voice “I get it, she's from one of those countries where shaking the head means yes” said the last man near unintelligible through his slurred speech “No” squeaked Emma and she felt hands starting to explore her body, this was a small town like her own home, this sort of thing simply didn't happen in small towns “That face” said the first guy and he ran a hand down her cheek moving towards her chest “Stop” stammered Emma recoiling from every touch and no longer able to hear the voices in her head or the voices of the men helping themselves to her body “This is not happening, this is not happening” said Emma over and over again in her head. The hands made their way to her crotch and stopping “What the fuck” said the first man and Emma felt her pants be forced open revealing her wet pullup to the three holding her “What a fucking baby” “That's disgusting” “She's pissed herself” Emma crumpled to the ground as she felt all hands on her release “Grow the fuck up then you can party with us” spat one guy and they walked off “I need to wash my fucking hands now…” Emma vaguely heard as they walked off. Emma didn't know how long she was sitting there holding herself before she finally found the strength just to open her tear filled eyes, there was a familiar figure standing over her, Emma wiped her eyes and the figure she thought she saw was gone, not wanting to be here any longer Emma forced herself up and ran for her motel room.

Lol your so right @littleTomás I think I will have to write a short story about Kaylee after finishing this story. Truth be told I only decided that Emily was going back to her dimension a chapter before writing it and am regretting that now, there could have been so many "wheres Kaylee?" moments

Part 29 The Return She was home, she knew this not by sight but the smell of the light breeze brushing her hair, the grass underneath her felt right and opening her eyes it just confirmed what her other senses were telling her. From the trees to the flowers, the signs and even the dog but best of all the people she saw were all the right size and no one was wearing a diaper that she could see, Emily got to her wobbly feet and just took it all in, she was in a community park that she didn't recognise but that didn't matter, she was in her dimension, the only thing that spoiled the moment was the realisation that there was still a soggy diaper hugging her hips. Emily walked around the park watching all the people from the runners to the children playing and they were children not adults acting as children, she did receive a few odd looks because of her attire but this couldn't kill her delighted mood. There it was and with a ray of light shining down on it as if God himself was saying “you have earned it” a public toilet had never looked so beautiful in her life, Emily pulled at the taps on her diaper and found that they came apart with ease unlike every other time she had tried and pulled it off without waiting any longer Emily sat on the normal sized toilet and let herself go knowing that for the first time in months it would not be hanging around her hips for the next couple hours. “I never thought using a toilet could feel so good” sighed Nora in contentment, Emily jumped a little in surprise as she realised that the voices in her head were still present, she had almost forgotten about them “I don't know it feels weird to not be using a diaper” added Maddy “So you lot are still here?” asked Emily in her head “Of course, why would we be gone right after we get back to our dimension” “Not mine” muttered Maddy under her breath “Now we can throw away that bag of diapers and start using the freaking toilets again” it was clear that Nora was very excited by her own words and Emily couldn't help but agree with the sentiment. Unlike the public toilets she was used too this one was so small it only had a waste paper basket for a bin, Emily tossed the used diaper in, unzipped her bag and tipped it upside down letting the unused diapers fall out all to the shocked look of the woman washing her hands next to Emily… Emily that name no longer sounded right… she's back in her dimension and there she was always known as Emma so it was time to reclaim her name, she was not Emily nor the cutesy Emy, she is a grown woman and her name is Emma. Emma walked out of the restroom feeling better than she had in so very long “I’M HOME!!!” shouted Emma into the park for no other reason than because she could, there were a few odd looks but she was mostly ignored… perfect. Emma and Nora’s joyful mood was diminishing as they walked to the local bus stop, first it reminded them that they had no money or phone to call someone, secondly they saw the city name along with the state they were in and that was on the opposite side of the country “Kaylee screwed us” said Nora bitterly “It's not that bad, I’ve traveled across the country before” answered Grace, we all mentally looked at her “Sure, so have I using a plane but that required money” said Emma in her head “People will give us rides if we ask” said Grace “What are you a hippie? People don't do that anymore” grumbled Nora and they moved on to walk the streets. From various signs, boards and papers Emma found out that she had been gone for a lot longer than she thought she had been “Six years” muttered Emma to herself “I thought a year tops” replied Nora equally as confused “Maybe we don't have all the memories?” offered Grace “Possible” Emma thought about it and came to the conclusion that it didn't matter, it was not the most important thing at this point, money was “Ok so we have been gone longer than we thought so what I’m sure our family is still there waiting for us” said Emma aloud probably sounding crazy to the passes by “And how do you propose we get there without money huh?” Emma turned the corner and saw something that might help “Why don't we just go and get out some money” said Emma looking at the local branch of her own bank. “I’m sorry miss I can't help you without some form of ID” said the cashier of the bank “Tell her you were robbed” whispered Nora, Emma didn't like to lie like that but this did require some out of the box thinking “I don't have ID because I was robbed recently…” the words brought the memory of when Roses house was broken into, probably by Dave now that Emma knew more “..and I’m from out of state so I can't just go get more” finished Emma “I’m very sorry to hear that miss but there's nothing I can do” Emma got annoyed but tried one last time “Please can you just let me get a little bit out so I can get home, Emily Taylor of…” she gave her address to the lady “I’m really sorry miss I can't help” Emma turned in a huff and left the bank. “Well that was a bust” said Nora “Banks really don't like giving out money of any kind” grumbled Emma “It makes sense” added Grace “They can't just give out your money to anyone, they have to know it's your money and we don't have ID” continued Grace “ID right lets try to get that then” sighed Emma and walked on. After waiting in line at her local government office for almost an hour and a number of arguments with the lady at the desk Emma stormed out with nothing to show for her troubles “How the fuck am I supposed to show them some form of ID if I’m asking to get some of my ID” Emma threw up her hands in disgust at the situation, Emma looked at the sky “Dam it will probably be dark in another hour or two” and once more walked along the streets trying to think of what to do next. Still with nothing in mind Emma felt the feeling she had not needed to actively listen to for a couple of months, she needed to pee “See it was just that dimension that made us need diapers” Emma smiled at this thought then two steps later her smile dropped as she felt the liquid running down her bare legs, the nearby people stared at the woman next to them as she pissed herself right there in front of them not only that but while wearing some childish dress, it was a shock for most of the onlookers “Fuck” whimpered Emma and ran as fast as she could the moment she felt the stream stop. In a nearby ally way the sobs of a woman could be heard but the passers by merely kept walking after all it was none of their business what was making someone else's day miserable “I thought… thought we were done with diapers” sobbed Emma as she rubbed her watery eyes “We need our dipees and mommy” said Maddy almost smuggly “SHUT UP” shouted Emma aloud, it was not what she wanted to hear, she is not a baby, she is back in her dimension and it was time to reclaim her life not get reminders of how she spent her last couple of months “You know how much I hate diapers soooo it pains me to say this but maybe we should go back and get the unused diapers we threw out” Emma sniffed at Nora's words and knew that it might be a good idea “It wouldn't make us a fucking baby or nothing, it would just be till we get used to going to the toilet again, a day, two tops I’m sure” the whole idea of being back in her home dimention and still being in diapers disgusted and infurated Emma but if or rather when she finally managed to get some new clothes she could not aford to be wetting herself in them, the back of her dress was wet because of her accident it would show her shame to everyone she walked past “Well?” asked Nora “I guess” mumbled Emma and wiped her eyes and forced herself to calm down then when she was ready made her way back out to the street. There were a number of looks from the people on the streets but no one said anything to her just the whispering to their friends as she passed. Emma looked down in the bin at the used paper towels that covered the unused diapers she needed to retreive, just the thought turned her stomach more than if she had to put her hand into raw sewage “It's just paper towel” said Grace helpfully “I know but…” Emma didn't finish her thought and continued to stair, she was supposed to be all better now, getting home was supposed to fix everything “We are not home yet” sighed Nora, she was right Emma maybe back in her dimension but she was on the other side of the country from her home “let's just get this crap over with, I will do whatever it takes to get home” and with a newfound determination Emma dove into the bin and retrieved the three brightly coloured diapers. Emma put the diaper on herself with a bit of difficulty since she didn't have anywhere to lay down but managed, it was nowhere near anything Rose would let Emma run off with but it would do for her own purposes, the hand dryer managed to remove most of the wet stain on Emma's dress but their was still the urine smell lingering. When they stepped out of the public toilet Emma saw the sun just starting to touch the tree line “If you really are willing to do anything to get home I might know a way we can get some money” said Nora “I don't care what it is, what do I have to do?” Emma felt the inward smile of Nora and knew she just agreed to do something that she was not going to like. She was right Emma did not like the idea one bit but thankfully with their experience with Jenny Emma didn't need coaching for this, she could just leave it to Nora "Stay calm, stay calm we have never been inside a bar before I'm sure it will be fine" Emma said in her head as she watched through her eyes but could not control the body while Nora was driving "Relax, you just have to look like you belong here and no one will think twice" answered Nora as she walked around to examine what she liked to call "her turf" it was practically her second home before the previous dimension… or at least she remembered it that way "With the right bar you can get drugs, guns, fake IDs, beat up ass holes and make a quick buck" said Nora in her head "And which type is this?" Asked Emma "Let's see we have… IDs over there…" Nora pointed towards a man wearing a motorcycle outfit "Drugs galore over there…" she pointed to a guy who looked like he was far out of high school talking to some ladies "And here… hello… money" Emma saw the scrawny looking man that looked as uneasy at being at the bar as Emma felt "Wait your not…" Emma didn't get to finish her sentence because Nora strolled up to the young man and started a conversation. It was painful to watch as Nora talked with the guy, getting some free drinks and food while slowly weaving in a story on how she needed some money but wasn't going to take charity, three times she refused to take cash that the man was offering only for it to be forced into her hand and told to take it along with his phone number written on a napkin, before leaving the Bar Nora bought a small bag of something from one of the men she pointed out before much to the protests of Emma and Grace. “How did you know that would happen?” asked Emma still not quite in control and was glad of it because she felt the whole world spinning like she never had before and didn't think she could possibly walk in that condition “He was a geek” giggled Nora aloud “That's the reason nice guys finish last…“ Nora squinted off into the distance of the street “They don't take what they want” Nora said louder and more slurred “Be quite someone will hear you” said Emma trying to stop the wobbling but of course she wasn't in control “Too right babe” came a deep male voice, Nora turned towards the voice “Fuck nice guys, come play with me and see how the other side live” Nora squinted at the biker “You better have beer with that” said Nora, the biker laughed and held up a six pack of beer “Got you covered there babe” Emma felt the corners of the mouth rise so slightly that she doubted anyone but her and her voices would even notice it. Emma awoke in a fog and felt her head throbbing “What the hell happened?” asked Emma to the air “Quite down it's too early” came Nora's groans, Emma opened her eyes slowly and felt the extra pain shooting through her skull and closed them again. Emma tried opening her eyes again and braced for the pain, it did not disappoint, Emma growned at the pain but managed to take in her surroundings, she felt the cheap motel bed and scratchy sheets, compared to where she had been sleeping in was wonderful, the street lamp from outside the window lit the room well enough to see around the room even with the curtains closed “Turn off the light” grumbled Grace sleeperly “Why is our head hurting so much… and for that matter why does my tongue feel like a desert” asked Emma again “Haven't you ever had a hangover before” groaned Nora, Emma could not remember ever having a hangover but if this was how they felt she was glad she never had “Just get some water and go back to sleep” sighed Nora and Emma felt her attention leave almost like she had rolled over to avoid light. Emma lay there for a couple of minutes holding her head until she finally found the strength to push herself out of bed, on shaky legs Emma walked to the door she assumed was a bathroom and felt the familiar soggy diaper between her legs, it was so normal for her these days that it didn't even reach her conscious mind that she was badly in need of a change and that she was supposed to be using the toilet. Emma opened the door and let out a scream in panic and quickly shut the door “Whats wrong?” asked the three voices in a panic now clearly awake “Theres a guy in the bathtub” answered Emma in a whisper while holding her body to the door so it couldn't be opened “Oh him” said Nora nonchalantly and she seemed to slip back to a sleepy state “Yea he did his job just tell him to piss off when he wakes up” Emma thought about these words for a second then a blush came to her face “Wait he didn't… we didn't…” Emma looked down to her crotch and metaly tired to feel if there was something different, with no mental confirmation Emma stuck her hand down past the waist band and felt herself but felt nothing strange, just herself and the damp padding of the diaper, Nora laughed “Like I would let that fat fuck touch us let alone do that to us” “Then why is he asleep in the tub?” asked Emma slightly less nervous but still feeling like she was going to have a heart attack any minute “Because that's where I left him, he was not easy to move” Emma cracked open the door and saw the big man breathing slowly, now that she got a better look there is no way any human being would choose to sleep in that position “Yea he's going to be saw when he wakes up” said Nora with a yawn “He must be a deep sleeper” replied Emma “Nah I drugged him remember?” Emma shook her head slowly not wanting the pain to remember it was supposed to be crushing her head more than it currently was “Jezz you are a light weight, I slipped a pill into his beer when he wasn't looking” Emma chuckled a little at this, she had never heard of a woman drugging a guy, it was always the other way around so they could do unpleasant things to the woman “What did you give him?” asked Emma not sure if she really did want to know “A little of this, a little of that, he should be out for another couple of hours but if your worried just tip a bit of beer in his mouth. Emma found the beer bottle and slowly poured the liquid into the guys open mouth “Aww just like a baby drinking a bottle at night” mocked Nora “Speaking of, I think we better get this changed and go back to sleep” there was a round of agreements so Emma cupped water into her mouth till she was satisfied, changed from the soiled diaper to a clean one then slipped back into bed only to get back out and place a chair on the door handle of the bathroom just incase the guy woke up then made her way back to the bed once more, after tossing and turning as she thought about the unconscious man in the other room Emma finally drifted back off to sleep. The morning was better than when she had woken during the night, Emma's brain was no longer threatening to burst from her skull instead settling with a dull ache “Let's never drink again” groaned Emma “Your just a lightweight” sighed Nora “That used to be nothing to me” Emma ignored the statement and asked the question that needed answering “Did we get any money?” “Look on the table” Emma pushed herself up at Nora's words and stumbled over to the table, it had a number of items on it, money, three empty beer bottles, a fat leather wallet and a set of keys “Is this the guys stuff?” asked Emma now looking towards the bathroom door, she was mildly thankful that she was wearing a diaper, she did not want to go in there even for the toilet “I didn't think you would want to go searching through his pockets so I took the liberty of helping myself to his stuff” Emma didn't like the idea of stealing from this guy but see need the money more than this guy if his wallet was anything to go by. Inside the wallet Emma saw seven one hundred dollar bills along with some small change “And he's even donating a ride” yawned Nora nodding her nonexistent head at the keys sitting on the table “Conning and stealing money is one thing but won't that just get us caught?” asked Emma, she was starting to wonder if this whole thing was a good idea “As long as we leave soon we should get a day or so of use before anyone starts looking for it” “And how would you know, you've never done this before” said Emma wondering how a voice in her head knows anything about this sort of thing “Well actually…” the silence in the room seemed to ring with that one word from Nora “I remember doing it at least and so far my information has been good” Emma couldn't deny that, there was no way she could have survived as long as she had without the help of Nora, transportation would be useful “Ok then” Emma made sure to add her newly acquired items to her bag and looked inside at the last remaining diaper “We went through these pretty fast” commented Emma “Almost makes you wonder how many Rose changed” added Grace, Emma expected a comment of some kind from Maddy but none came, come to think of it she hasn't said much since returning to their home dimension “Maddy?” asked Emma aloud she waited for a reply but nothing came “Maddy?” asked Emma more forcefully this time “What” came a grumpy reply “Just checking your still with us” a grunt was all the answer Emma got in return, Emma wanted to figure out what was going on with her but if Nora was right they had to get moving so with a quick change into their last fresh diaper. After removing the chair from the bathroom door Emma took one last look at the bathroom door, wishing that she could have a shower first Emma left the motel room and went looking for her borrowed ride. “Well there are some nice cars here, which is ours?” asked Emma “None” “None?” questioned Emma “Our sweet ride is right here in front of us” Emma looked at the fancy looking motorbike standing in front of her “Do you know how to ride a motorbike?” asked Emma “No, I thought you would know how” replied Nora “Me? What makes you think I know how to ride a motorbike?” “Your a country girl aren't you, I would think you did this sort of thing every day” “No we used a quad bike or the horses” “Quad bike, motorbike what's the difference” Emma looked the bike over “This has gears, the quad bike is automatic, I don't know how to use this” “Well fuck” Emma was just starting to think about what she could do next when Grace spoke up “I know how to ride a motorbike” Emma and Nora inwardly stared at Grace “You know how to ride a bike?” asked Nora not believing it for a second “Aren't you all about save the earth and all that?” asked Nora “I never said I was like that or a hippie for that matter, you assumed I was” Emma felt a bit guilty at that remark because yes she had assumed that based on how Grace presented herself “Umm… ok then yes could you please drive?” asked Emma “Gladly” replied Grace with a smile that transferred from the inner mind to the physical world as Grace slipped into control of the body. As if the bike belonged to her for years Grace unlocked the helmet from it's lock and strapped the helmet on “The helmet is a little big for us but it should do the job if it's just for a day or so” commented Grace and she mounted the bike, turned the key and they all heard the roar as the engine sprang to life “Oh yea, I’ve never ridden anything this nice before” grinned Grace and she kicked the kickstand out of the way, reversed out of the parking spot and tore off out of the parking lot and into the early morning traffic.

Part 28 On the way home -Emily- The other voices in the Littles head told the stories that they knew about the Amazon Rugosa along with her friend Gwen and her Little Kaylee, there seemed to be a lot of gaps but Emily got the picture and knew she wanted to stay clear of this Rugosa “So if we want to get back home we need to find this Kaylee?” asked Emily as she was watching the Amazons walk past her at the mall, hidden in the small garden of course so no one bothered her “That's the only way I can think of unless we find out where they cross dimensions” said Nora “That could take a long time” added Grace “Do any of you know where she lives?” there was silence from the voices “Or how to contact her?” more silence, watching these Amazons was interesting but not helpful just like the voices in her head “So what do we do?” asked Emily, the silence continued till she was about to ask again “I’m thinking” answered Nora, Emily continued to watch the passing Amazons when Maddy spoke up “There's that miss Jenny, I didn't like her” “The one from the daycare?” asked Emily making sure she got it right, there was agreement from Maddy and the wheels turned in the Littles head. “What are you doing?” asked Nora as Emily darted out of their hiding spot to run after Jenny “You said the last us did her a favour well lets see if she repays the favour” there was a shiver from Maddy as it was clear she didn't want to see the Amazon again. -Rose- Rose awoke from her memories to the instant knowledge that she was a failure of a carer, instead of looking for her Little she was here resting all the while she was sure that Dave would also be looking for Emy. Rose pulled herself out of the bed she had been sleeping in and walked out to the kitchen to find her friend slash sister Gwen making food, Rose tried to sneak past her so she could be out looking once more but was spotted “And where do you think your going?” came Gwen's voice, Rose turned to face her “I was going to go back out looking for Emy” said Rose almost guilterly “Not without eating something first your not” said Gwen and pointed to the chair. "So what did happen to Emy to make her run off?" Asked Gwen after placing a plate of food Infront of Rose “Do you remember the last time I altered Emy?” “Yea” “Well just incase it wasn't stable I put in a sort of safety valve, by saying her old name it would break the joins and barriers that I had to put in place for a short time, I don't know what exactly happened inside Emys mind but I think she wouldn't have any memory of us” Rose took a bite of her food not even looking to see what she was chewing “Why did use us her old name?” asked Gwen “I didn't, do you remember me telling you about a man I used to work with called Dave?” Gwen nodded as she remembered he seemed to give Rose the creeps back in the day “I don't know how but he and Emy knew each other” “An old memory?” asked Gwen, Rose shook her head “I made sure to remove all of those from our Emys memories” “Wait…” it just clicked in Gwen's head “Wouldn't Dave be taking Emy back with him if he found her?” “I think he was using Emy to find out about where I stored my research, thankfully I never told Emy about any of that and after that didn't work, I think he must have been the one who broke into my house the other week, the research itself wasn't on any of my drives but if he knew to use Emys old name then there is no doubt that he went through what was on my computer” Rose took another bite of her food taking no pleasure in the normally brilliant creation “Ok so let me get this straight, Dave and Emy somehow knew each other and he used your safety thingy on Emy just because…” “No Abby saw them together and told Wendy and myself, that girl has a brilliant memory, Wen showed her a picture of him after I Left the company” “Ok so he was busted and changed tactic?” “I guess so, Emy was like a doll after hearing her old name” “But after she woke from it she didn't have a memory of who you and Wendy were and ran off because she was scared?” asked Gwen “I think so yes, it should be temporary, in a day or so the Emy we know should be back and if I can't find her in time…” tears started to well up in Roses eyes “She's going to be scared and lost” Rose choked out, Gwen leaned into her sister and embraced her “Shhh now, it's going to be ok, I’ll call the sitter for Kaylee and we will both go out looking for Emy” Rose did break down then and fell into full sobs. -Emily- “You do remember when I said she tortured us right?” asked Nora as Emily dodged and weaved past Amazons to get to her target “Yes but Grace said she was better towards the end” answered Emily “This is not a good idea” added Maddy. Jenny felt a tap on her leg and stopped walking then looked down to see a Little panting heavily, she had clearly been running “I’m not your carer” said Jenny and began to walk off but was stopped by the Little holding onto her pants leg “I know…” said the Little now looking up to her “What do you want then” it came out more as a statement than a question “I… umm…” Emily felt brave just hearing about what this Amazon had done to them but now that she was talking to her, the fear that Maddy had of the Amazon poured out into Emily and made her stutter her words “I don't have all day” said Jenny getting impatient “I was…” the words still didn't want to leave her mouth “Just say it” prompt Nora to Emily in her head “You do it then” replied Emily equally in her head “Ok” Emily felt like her perspective changed and could no longer move her body. Jenny looked at the trembling Little for a bit longer then turned away “Wait you owe me” came the now strong voice of the Little, Jenny turned back to see the Little was no longer trembling but was looking determined “Owe you? I don't owe you anything” said Jenny Looking at the Little more closely, she did look familiar but couldnt place her “I’m done brat, go bother someone…” started Jenny “Jenny you owe us for your job” a light went off inside Jenny's head, this Little was from the daycare she used to work at for that short time “How is the new job” said Nora now smirking at the Amazon as she realised that she did in fact recognise her “I…” Nora cut her off “Don't say you don't recognise me because I know you do now… you owe me” Nora stared right into Jennys eyes as she made her statement. Not wanting to be seen talking to a Little in the mall Jenny moved there conversation to an empty cafe and ordered herself a coffee and the cheapest drink on the Littles menu so she wouldn't look any different from any other Amazon Little that came into the cafe. “So what do you want?” asked Jenny as she sipped her coffee “I need your help finding someone” said Nora not touching the milky looking thing in the sippy cup in front of her “Look them up on Group Space” said Jenny with a shrug “I don't have access to that” said Nora figuring it must be something like Facebook from her dimension “What, did your mommy ground you or something” mocked Jenny “Are you going to help me or not?” asked Nora ignoring Jennys jab “It has bothered me that I got my job because of you…” said Jenny part in thought “If I help you now I won't be in debt to you anymore…” Jenny seemed to be going over the options in her head “Fine” she said turning back to Nora who hasn't taken her gaze off the Amazon “Who do you want me to find?” asked Jenny “I want you to find the address of one of the Littles I went to daycare with, Kaylee Miller” the name didn't ring a bell for Jenny but that didn't mean much and thought about how she might be able to find the Littles address. They agreed to meet back at the mall around closing time and as they parted ways Emily felt her perspective shift once more to find that she was once again in control of the body “Your scary” said Maddy to Nora “You got a scary Amazon to do something for us” she continued “She's just a piss ant and I can deal with them” shrugged Nora, Emily vaguely listened to the conversation that was taking place in the back of her mind but was more curious how Nora was able to control the body and the sudden liquid running down her legs. After running from the mall Emily found another hiding spot to camp out in wait for Jenny to return. “If we were with mommy we would be in a diaper and we wouldn't have had an accident” mumbled Maddy in the back of Emily's mind “For the last time we are not going back to that prison guard” said Nora Loudly, Emily knew that the prison guard Nora was talking about was Rose because in the couple of hours of waiting for Jenny, memories had been returning, flashes at first then memories of her own thoughts during those events “But mommy will make everything better, I’m tired of playing this game” whined Maddy “This is not a game” shot back Nora, with the return of memories Emily examined them through new eyes, Nora’s hatred of diapers and all things baby that Rose offered but also the love and joy of all that through Maddys eyes, she thought that Graces opinions on the subjects would help sort out her own feelings of it all but either way Grace was content, not happy, not sad just content. It did look like Rose had changed a lot of her destructive ways but knowing how she used to be kept coming to Emily's mind, she originally was just going with Nora’s plans because she didn't know enough about what was happening, now that she did it was looking like a solid plan, assuming they could get back to their original dimension there would be an adjustment period but it had to be better than what she had seen here in this one. With no diaper Emily found that she was leaking little bits every couple of minutes or a large amount after she stopped concentrating on holding it back and that was starting to become another problem for her borrowed clothing, as much as she hated to admit it a diaper would come in handy right about now. Finally Emily saw Jenny walking towards the store and ran to catch up to her “Forgot your diaper?” asked Jenny looking Emily up and down “Something like that” answered Emily feeling much more confident than their last meeting now that she was starting to feel more like her old self, Jenny opened her handbag and rummaged around for a bit then pulled out two items, a piece of paper and diaper “We don't fucking need diapers!” raged Nora in the back of Emily's mind “Have you seen the state of our borrowed dress?” asked Grace rhetorically “That doesn't mean we need them” huffed Nora, Emily just looked at the two items being offered to her “I noticed your seat after we met last time” Jenny said and looked away, Emily took both and read the note “Sixty three Argyle place” then she realised she had no idea how to find this house even with the address without her phone, then looked over to the diaper “Um I don't know how to put this on” said Emily a little embarrassed “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING!, SHOVE THAT STUPID DIAPER BACK IN HER FACE!” screamed Nora “Until we find a toilet we can use I think we might need to use these” said Emily in her mind, Jenny looked back at Emily “Littles” she scoffed “Fine I’ll help you but this is the last time” Jenny lead Emily over to her car and helped Emily lay down in the back seat “I’m not cleaning you and I don't have any of those cream things” Jenny said as she was opening up the diaper, Emily nodded her understanding and pulled up her dress to reveal her naked state underneath “If your trying to show how grown up you are then at least get some underwear, didn't anyone ever tell you it's unlady like to be like that” Emily felt heat rush to her cheeks and if her current set of memories were anything to go by that had not happened for long time “It really is no wonder you Littles wear diapers, uncivilised” this sparked a new fire in Nora “What did that bitch say, let me back in control, I’m going to punch her fucking lights out” Emily shook her head at hearing Noras out burst but to Jenny it must have looked like she was shaking her head to Jennys question “Well next time you see that mother of yours get her to teach you some etiquette” said Jenny and taped up the diaper, Emily ignored the jab and recovered herself with the dress “I need one last favour” said Emily looking Jenny right in her eyes “I got your stupid friends address and even put a diaper on you and you expect me to do something else for you?” “How goods your job?” asked Emily back, there was a pause then Jenny answered “What else do you want?” “A lift” answered Emily with a smile. All the voices in Emily's head were surprised that Jenny actually drove them to Kaylee's house but there it was just one house down the road after their ten or so minutes drive “Thanks for this” said Emily and she watched as the Amazon she recognized as Gwen getting into her car “So we are even now” Emily wasn't sure if Jenny was meaning this as a statement or a question “I guess so” said Emily as she watched the car pull out of the driveway and bent herself down so she wouldn't be seen by it's driver, Jenny looked at Emily with a puzzled face but let it be. “They are gone” said Jenny after the car had turned the corner into another street, Emily sat back up and looked around, Gwens car was gone but there was a strange car in the driveway it couldn't be helped, Jenny wouldn't wait here forever it was time to leave, Emily pulled on the door handle but could not get the door to open “Um” stamered Emily “Here” Jenny bent over the passenger seat and opened the door for her Little passenger “You know… if your having trouble with your carer… there are people to help” Emily turned to look at Jenny finding it strange to see the evil witch of a woman actually being… well… nice “If you want I can…” Emily cut her off “Thanks for the help but I’m fine from here” said Emily and undid her belt then hopped out of the car “Before you go take this” Jenny reached into the back seat and grabbed a Little sized backpack “A friend gave it to me so I could look after their Little but I get the feeling you could use it more” Jenny handed over the bag, Emily took the bag, looked at it for a second “Um thanks” Jenny nodded, closed the passenger door then drove off up the street. Emily ran into a nearby hedge that had a gap just big enough for her to squeeze in, someone would have to be actually looking for her to see the tips of her toes poking out “What's in the bag?” asked Maddy, Emily opened the bag to find three diapers, Little wipes, powder, an empty bottle and various edible snacks “Oh food, I’m hungry” said Maddy as she saw the food, Emily felt her stomach growl “We all are but we don't know if the food is poisoned or not” said Nora “As much as I don't like plastics the food is sealed so I doubt that it's poisoned” said Grace “You know what I mean, it might have those drug things in it” Emily had forgotten about them because Rose had been so consistent in knowing what was safe that Emily had not questioned anything she was given by Rose, her thoughts of Rose where overheard and got Maddy sad once more “I want to go home to mommy” whined Maddy “For the last time we are not going back to the prison guard” said Nora “I’m going to miss her” said Maddy solemnly “Don't worry Maddy I’ll miss her too” replied Emily “But this is for the best, we have to get home and live our life with people our size” Maddy mumbled some things that were mostly unintelligible so Emily put her focus back to the food they now had in their possession “How do we know if it has been drugged?” asked Emily hopeing that one of them knew “The Amazon always read the back of the things before giving it to us” said Nora, Emily pulled out something that looked like a muesli bar and started to look at the back, she looked at it because even though the words were in english the ingredients list was using words that Emily didn't even know how to pronounce “Um what are we looking for?” asked Emily thoroughly confused “I have no idea” sighed Nora “We could always take a chance” said Grace “Fuck no, what if we turn into a drooling mess, it's bad enough to be back in these fucking diapers” “You have such a colourful tongue Nora” said Grace cheeraly. Deciding to put the food away for now they slowly made their way into Kaylees backyard “Hide in the cubby house” offered Grace as a possible place they could wait for either Kaylee to come out or night so they could try to sneak inside “Can't, I remember Kaylee hinting that the Amazons watch that place” said Emily “Yea just before she made us piss ourselves” mumbled Nora, Emily ignored Nora and continued “We might be able to use Kaylees trick at the daycare and hide behind the garden shed” said Emily remembering the time Kaylee had taken her into that hiding spot so she could win a game of hide and seek “Little cheater” smirked Emily and started to shake her head at the memory. It took a long time and a lot of patients but Emily was able to make it to the garden shed unseen or at least she hoped, she made herself comfortable and waited for the sound that would tell her of Kaylees arrival into the garden after all there was no way Kaylee wouldn't be noisy. “I can't take it anymore, lets just eat” whined Maddy, it felt like hours they had been sitting there waiting for Kaylee and all of them were now starting to feel the hunger, even Nora was having a hard time arguing against trying the muesli bar now “I think we might have to take a chance” added Grace Emily looked at the bag for a moment then opened it up and dug out the bar in it's colourful plastic wrapping, Nora groaned and said “Just a bite” with all of them in agreement Emily unwrapped the bar and brought it to her mouth, she could feel the saliva filling her mouth in anticipation of food, Emily stopped as she heard the sound of a sliding door open “... no more than fifteen minutes ok?” came an unfamiliar female voice “Yep yep” came the reply of Kaylee “SHES HERE!” said the three voices in Emily's head in unison, all thoughts of hunger vanished, now it was time to go home. Peeking around the corner of the garden shed Emily watched Kaylee waddle over to her play castle, she waited for a couple of extra minutes just incase who ever was watching Kaylee was watching her through the glass screen door, a thing that Grace used to do while she used to baby sit apparently. Finally it was time, Emily picked up her pebbles she had found laying around and tossed one against the side of the castle *thunk Another look and Kaylee was still playing with her dolls, another pebble *thunk Kaylee looked around for a second then went back to her play *thunk Kaylee stood up and went to investigate the outside of her castle wall that had been making a sound, Emily tossed another pebble so it lightly collided with Kaylees leg, the Little looked down and looked at the pebble “Psst” Kaylee looked around at the unfamiliar sound “Over here” hissed Emily, Kaylee waddled over to the shed with a puzzled look on her face. “Em…” started Kaylee with a look of surprise on her face but was stopped as she found a hand covering her mouth and being dragged in between the gap of the garden shed and fence “If you can be quite I’ll remove my hand, can you do that?” there was a moment of shock on her face then she nodded and the hand was slowly removed “Everyones looking for you” spouted Kaylee the moment the hand was removed, Emily rolled her eyes, she should have known that Kaylee couldn't be quite even for a minute “I should go tell mommy your here” Kaylee started to turn back but Emily grabbed her arm to stop her “If I wanted the Amazons to know I was here I would have shown myself to them” Emily said calmly “Then why are you here?” asked Kaylee after she turned back around “I’m here because of the promise you made three months ago” the near joy of finding Emily here vanished “I wondered if it might be that” the childish voice Kaylee normally used was gone in those words, it was replaced with the voice that more be fit her age rather than her appearance, a tone of voice that Emily had heard only a small handful of times before “I held up my end” said Emily “Actually you were still a day off since I said to be with Rose, not running around on your own” Emily glared at her “Did you know what she did to me?” asked Emily ignoring this small fact “Not the specifics but I did see what happened to other Littles there before Gwen saved me” “Then I would think you of all people can understand why I can't be around her any more” “So it's true what I overheard… you have your memories back?” Emily nodded “So are you going to honor your end of the promise?” asked Emily after the silence between them got to be too much, Kaylee was about to answer when they both heard the clear sound of a grumbling stomach, Emily looked down and wondered why her stomach had to be so vocal everytime it was hungry and at the worst possible moments too. Kaylee had her childish giggles then back in her childish voice said “Let's eat then I’ll take you home… I guess” Emily opened up her bag to show the food that she had been given and Kaylee sorted them into two piles “These ones don't have anything you don't want” said Kaylee pointing towards the pile of two items, neither of which was the muesli bar she was going to eat minutes before “How do I know these don't have anything, it wouldn't be the first time you have drugged me” Kaylee rolled her eyes “That was just to get you too relax a little here I’ll eat them if you want…” Emily moved the two items from Kaylees reach more out of old habit of protecting her meal for the ever hungry Kaylee, Kaylee smiled at the reaction. They ate in silence until Emily was finished her small amount of food “So what now?” asked Emily “Now I ask you one last time it you would reconsider staying” Emily shook her head “If Rose had not done what she did maybe but I can't, please take me home” Kaylee sighed in resignation “Very well” Kaylee looked at the bag now sitting at Emily's feet “Are you taking that with you?” Emily too looked at the bag and shook her head “I won't need it” “Take it anyway bags always come in handy wherever you are” Emily looked at the bag and didn't want to take it because of its contents but she figured she could always get rid of that later and picked up the bag “What now?” Emily asked again “Come with me” answered Kaylee and started to exit the hiding spot “Wait what if the Amazon sees us?” “Do you want to go home or not?” Emily let out a sigh and followed Kaylee into the middle of the grass “Are you sure?” asked Kaylee one last time and just the same as the last Emily nodded her head, Kaylee bowed hers and said in a quiet voice “I’m going to miss you Emy” Kaylee reached inside her shirt and pulled out the metal cross she wore, there was a blinding white light and Emily's world disappeared.

Part 27 New Life Rugosa awoke and was immediately aware of the wetness covering her upper half, she turned and saw the Little right there without a worry in her own small dream world "Wake up" said Rugosa grumpily and started to shake her "Mmmm…" the Littles eyes opened and recognition seem to return to her "Mo…" "You leaked on my bed" growled Rugosa, the Little sprang to life and started to feel her cold wet self "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" the Little repeated over and over, Rugosa sighed knowing this was mostly her fault, she knew that all Littles needed diapers for a reason and stupidly forgot to get some for a Little she was taking home for some reason "Stop that" growled Rugosa and the Little returned to shrinking in on herself. Rugosa ended up wrapping the Little in plastic bags and tape then headed into work slightly earlier than usual to get the nursery to take care of the Little and get a jump on the day's work. Even with the horrible night Rugosa had with the Little she took the Little home with her every second or so night until it turned into every night "I think I have it" said Rugosa looking at the words on her display "simulation successful" "You sound happy mommy" the Little had continued to use this Ridiculous title and finally Rugosa just stopped correcting her out of annoyence, Rugosa had told the Little to just use her name but the Little knew where her name came from, rugosa a type of rose and insisted in calling her Rose because it sounded pretty, Mommy or Rose, the Amazon just could not win against stupid "I am, I think I have found out how to make you feel better" Rugosa had long ago stopped trying to tell the Little what she was doing "But I feel fine" said the Little and started to pat herself down to be sure that she didn't have any injuries that she didn't know about, Rugosa rolled her eyes she was starting to get used to this Littles strange behaviours just as she had the one she had been trying to bring back this last month "I'll be back in a minute and we can play dress up" the Littles eyes lit up with pure joy, it was a rarity for Rugosa to play with her "For true?" "Sure" answered Rugosa and left the room. Rugosa had borrowed some of her equipment from work and brought it home to work on this project of finding a way to reverse her own treatment during the nights. Rugosa re-entered the room carrying the halo device that had created this Little "Do you want to be an angel?" Asked Rugosa, the Little nodded with enthusiasm. Rugosa fitted the device and got the Little to lay down under the guise of pretending she was floating on clouds, Rugosa set everything up and hovered over the button that should bring back the Little she had known for months but hesitated as she realised that this would erase this Little, as annoying as she was Rugosa was finding it hard to see herself without her "Your going to go to sleep now" said Rugosa in the most gentle voice she could manage "Will you be here when I wake up?" Asked the the Little innocently "Of course" replied Rugosa and smiled to reassure herself and the Little that everything will be ok, the Little smiled too "You should smile more, you have a wonderful smile" said the Little and settled in for her sleep, Rugosa pushed the button and the blue light surrounded the Littles head "Thank you" whispered Rugosa and almost, almost shed a tear for the Little that she was sending away. It worked with complete success, the old Little she had known for months returned, mood swings and all. Rugosa continued to bring this Little home with her and was both glad and missing the fact that this Little wanted to be completely independent. Rugosa was a cauldron of bubbling emotions and needed to talk to someone and the only person she could trust with this was also the person that would give her crap for a bit and help in the end, her best friend Gwen "Ha I knew you would come around" laughed Gwen "Aunty Ruru got a Little" sung Kaylee "I'm serious Gwen I need your help I don't know if what I'm doing is right anymore" Gwen stopped laughing and calmed her Little down by giving her an icy pole "Ru you know that I have never questioned your work but if you want my opinion then your work should not see the light of day, Little may be inferior to us but if you take away who they are then we are no better than the monsters in the movies, we do these things to give them a better life but they are still themselves, what you are doing will take that last bit of self they hold onto" these words hit Rugosa hard, she had been thinking along these lines for some time now and was dragging her feet on completing her work "Yeah I thought so… I just don't know what to do now" said Rugosa and held her head in her hands "Talk it over with Wendy" smirked Gwen "How do you know about her?" Asked Rugosa giving Gwen the death stair "Word travels" replied Gwen still smirking, ever since the Little had been softening Rugosas heart she had started to see the woman she had considered dating, Wendy only dropped into the "undateable" section because she had a Little, now that was becoming less of an issue for Rugosa they had started to see each other hear and there, Rugosa sighed and began to finally eat her lunch. Rugosa span on her chair to avoid watching the Littles play in the nurseries, almost all of them had been altered in various ways and with the final review was coming up in a couple of hours and Rugosa didn't know what to do not just with the review but with her whole work, resting her head on the desk she closed her eyes to rest. Rugosa was awoken by a hand shaking her awake, Rugosa jerked awake “What?” she looked around and saw the evaluators “Oh, sorry I was just resting” said Rugosa straightening herself and greeting everyone. “We are very impressed with your work thus far but now we want to have a longer demonstration of your work” said one of the evaluators “A longer demonstration?” questioned Rugosa “Yes my colleague here will be taking home one of your subjects to test just how effective your modifications are “Sure this can be arranged, did you have any Little in mind?” asked Rugosa “We were quite impressed with the last subject that was selected and we are curious as to how having multiple modifications affects the Little longer term” Rugosa involuntary glanced over to subject seventeen just now realising that she didn't even know the Littles name, some carer she was being, she decided to find out the Littles name right after this “Yes that one, we will send you what we would like and be back later tonight” Rugosa felt like someone had just pulled the rug out from under her and was now more confused than before. “I’m sorry to bother you with my problems” said Rugosa slumping over her coffee, she had just told the woman that she was thinking about dating all her work problems and the feelings that went with it all “This sort of stuff is supposed to come much later” mumbled Rugosa “I’m glad you told me” replied Wendy and she placed her hand on Rugosa’s “Just let me know what I can do too help” Rugosa smiled for a second “Thanks but I don't think there is anything that can be done at this point, shes gone and I don't know when or if I will get her back, I went home last night and for the first time the apartment felt so empty” as if the coffee shop knew what was happening the room fell silent for a couple of seconds “Come stay with me and Abby” Rugosa looked up at the woman “Wen I couldn't impose like that we barely know each other” “I know all I need to know to know that I like you” smiled Wendy “And I’m not the type of person to dance around who and what I like, I will say it, I like you and if you want you can stay with me and Abby” Rugosa thought about it for a moment, smiled and accepted Wendy's offer. The first night at Wendy's house was awkward as Rugosa didn't know what to do with or how to treat Abby, the Little was playful and curious right from the start, nothing like the Little she was used too. Living with Wendy and Abby showed Rugosa a life that she might be able to have one day, this also made up her mind on what to do with her work and it was not the answer she ever thought that she would make. Two months after her first night with Wendy and Abby, Rugosa got word that her Little that she now knew was originally named Amelia would be returned to her tomorrow “When I get Amelia back I’m going to destroy my work and run away so that I can offer Amelia the life she deserves” Rugosa couldn't even look at her friend especially after everything that she had done for her over the last two months “I hope your planning to take us with you” said Wendy “Wen you know I would love too but this… well it's going to make a lot of people very angry and I will not put the both of you in danger” Wendy knew that Rugosas mind was made up and there was no changing it now “Let me know where you end up at least, you know Abby won't forgive you if you don't” Rugosa smiled, something she was doing more often these days, Amelia would be proud “I promise I will, can't make Abby upset after all, both women chuckled and knew that their time together maybe over. “In… and out” Rugosa had to keep telling herself this, Amelia would be here any minute “It won't be…” she didn't even have time to finish her sentence as the door opened to reveal an Amazon woman carrying a sleeping Little in her arms “When your work goes public I think I will be the first in line” said the cheery Amazon “Oh… thanks” Rugosa replied awkwardly “Make sure to save this personality, she's so laid back and will let you do anything” “I'm glad you liked her” replied Rugosa getting closer to take Amelia “I almost don't want to give her back to you” Rugosa held her breath “But I guess you need her for your tinkering” “Afraid so” replied Rugosa extending her arms out to take the sleeping Little “Shame, I guess I’ll have to wait” the woman handed over Almelia and it felt like a piece of Rugosa was returned to her. With Amelia returned Rugosa started on her plan, finding every trace of her work was not easy but she had to get it all or someone might be able to recreate it, while her searchers were going she made sure to write out her resignation letter as she determined to break as few laws as possible in this plan, resigning without notice was a crummy thing to do but it wasn't against the law. Rugosas last few months of work now only resided on a flash drive that would soon be destroyed, she had one last thought to ensure the safety of Amelia even if things got rough for Rugosa herself. With the Little still asleep Rugosa placed the halo looking device on Amelia's head and ran a custom version of her program, this would not imprint a personality only memories, memoires that the Little shouldn't ever even know are there. Rugosa regretted that she didn't have time to revert Amelia back to her old self but the gear was waiting for her back at her previously unused apartment and time was running out before someone was bound to check on her or her digital work, Rugosa crushed the thumb drive with a rock from her fake garden until it was little more than powder but to be extra sure she threw the remaining bits into the sink and let the water wash it away, with that done it was time to load up the Littles, she had considered just taking Amelia but she didn't know what the company would do with them if she left them here. It took a dozen trips but thanks to Rugosas lab being so close to the parking lot she had no trouble getting the Littles into the minivan she had rented just for this occasion unseen from her coworkers, Rugosa strapped Amelia in the front seat as the Little was waking up “Mummy… where are we going?” asked Amelia “We are going for a surprise trip” answered Rugosa thinking quickly on her feet “Go back to sleep and I’ll wake you when we get there” the little didn't even open her eyes just simply nodded slowly and drifted back off to sleep “Ok” came the soft reply, Rugosa kissed the Little on the top of her head and knew that she was doing the right thing now. Rugosa dropped the Littles off at a Little adoption center three towns over, the reception woman had a lot of questions but Rugosa said she would explain everything after they were all unloaded but of course drove off hoping that they would all be adopted before being found by her own company, it was a small hope but that's all she had, Rugosa would later find out that because of the owner chip that each Little had they would be returned before the end of the next day. Rugosa ran back inside her apartment which she had doubled back for and loaded up everything she had packed the night before, two bags and the equipment she would need to help Amelia that was what her life had boiled down too “Mommy I’m wet” said a sleepy Little, Rugosa looked over to Amelia and saw that she had leaked through the diaper she was wearing, Rugosa didn't have time to change the Little by now someone would have noticed that all the Littles were missing along with Rugosa herself and technically that was theft of property and worse Littlenapping a far worse crime that if convicted Rugosa would be lucky to see outside of a prison cell ever again “Your just dreaming dear just go back to sleep” Rugosa hated lying to the Little but at least this way what the Little didn't know wouldn't hurt her, the Little rolled over and was probably already back asleep, Rugosa was amazed at how long the Little could sleep but for this day it was a good thing. It was a close one, Rugosa saw official vehicles turn into her apartment complex just as she was turning out of the street, they turned up faster than she thought anyone would but a lot of money had gone into her research and now they wouldn't get a return if she was gone, these and many more thoughts circled Rugosas head through her drive. Rugosa untapped Amelia's diaper, it had clearly leaked because of how poorly made it was “It's a good thing I have better diapers for you isn't it?” asked Rugosa in a silly voice “Your funny mommy” giggled the Little and Rugosa beamed from the inside at hearing those words and proceeded to clean Amelia's diaper area, this personality was so happy to do anything that Rugosa almost considered not reverting her back to the Amelia that she knew till she got a slap to the face, literally Where are we going mo…” the Little trailed off and her eyes went blank “Amelia are you…” *slap, it wasn't hard by any means but it shocked Rugosa all the same “Rose why the fuck am I here?” asked the Little in a quietly angry voice, this was clearly not the personality that had been programed, this was original Amelia and in one of her moods at that “AND NAKED!!!” Amelia covered her lower half, a show of modesty that Rugosa had not seen since she started her work, this puzzled Rugosa immensely “Amelia…” Rugosa leaned in closer as if this would give her more information, sadly this resulted in a Little foot colliding with one Amazon nose and being sent to the ground “DON'T LOOK PERVERT!” screamed the Little and looked for something to cover herself, Rugosa felt her nose from the ground, the one good thing about all this was that because she had decided to change Amelia from the back seat of the car instead of in a change room she was now on soft grass instead of concrete, Rugosa looked at the red liquid covering her fingers “That was a good kick” muttered Rugosa under her breath and stood up while holding her nose, she saw a Littles bottom as the front was rummaging through the bags in the back seat “Isn't there anything here I can wear that isn't wet” muttered the Little “Next bag to your left” said Rugosa nasally and watched the Littles bottom turn from her view to be joined by the Littles head "If you say anything about this you are dead meat" said the annoyed Little "I wont" answered Rugosa and stepped forward to take a couple of Little wipes for her nose, the Little jumped and covered herself again "Pervert" sneared the Little, Rugosa turned so she could clean up her nose and try to work out what was going on "Mommy?" Came the higher pitched voice of the Little she was used to, Rugosa turned around to see Amelia sitting on the back seat looking confused. Rugosa was back on the road after completing the diaper change, Amelia was now happily colouring away in the passenger seat back to the personality that was programed as Rugosa drove and contemplated what happened “Amelia can you hear voices?” asked Rugosa as they stopped at a red light, the Little looked up from her drawing “I hear your voice mommy” said the Little confused “That's a good girl, go back to your drawings” Rugosa was starting to wonder if her treatment to revert the personalities was allowing others to pop up after all they aren't erased just suppressed, this problem would have to wait till they got to their destination. Two more times other personalities came out before arriving at Gwen's new place and after getting a scan of the Littles mental state Rugosa was worried “I don't know what I’m going to do to fix this” said Rugosa and slumped onto the kitchen table “What's wrong?” asked Gwen from her cooking preparation “I think I might be killing Amelia” Gwen looked up at Rugosa in shock “The Little mind was not made to handle what I have done to it at least not this many times” Rugosa was glad that Kaylee and Amelia were playing in the backroom unable to hear any of this “Can't you just undo what you have done?” asked Gwen “If I was over writing her mind each time sure but I’m not it's like you holding a brick and each time I imprint a new personality it's giving you one more that you have to hold, eventually you and are just going to let go of them all” Rugosa let this sink in “I know you can find a way to help her” said Gwen getting back to her cooking “Easy to say” muttered Rugosa under her breath. Another two weeks passed and the minor headaches that Amelia was experiencing in the first few days were becoming constant migraines. Without access to the computing power Rugosa was used too she could not run anywhere near as many simulations that she wanted to and was about ready to resign herself to the fact that she had killed her precious Little, in that gilt she thought she owed it to her Little to explain everything “I’m so sorry for all this” sobbed Rugosa and hugged Amelia tighter as she was sitting in Rugosas lap “I don't fully understand but I know you can make me someone else and that will make you happy again, I can hear them whispering to me…” this whole statement startled Rugosa with it said so simply, if the barriers she had placed in Amelia's mind where breaking down then Amelia might be right in how she could help. With a final brain scan Rugosa worked through that night and found it, a way to save her Little “When did you wake up?” asked a sleepy Gwen carrying an even more sleepy Kaylee “I haven't gone to bed but I think I have it” Gwen perked up at this “Are you sure? You look sleep deprived” it was true Rugosa was finding it hard to concentrate but she was sure this was right, it may not be the way she would have liked it but if it was the only way to save her Little so be it “Get some sleep, I’ll look after the Littles, if you are going to help anyone you need to think clearly” there was definitely truth in this “But I…” started Rugosa “Don't make me treat you like a Little and force you to sleep because I will diaper you” it might have been the lack of sleep but Rugosas brain thought she heard Gwen say she would diaper her if she didn't get some sleep and this did not make sense, it was Gwens smirk that finally broke Rugosa from her frozen state “I’m joking, get some sleep” Rugosa rubbed her eyes and relented “Just like an older sister” muttered Rugosa as she started her last simulation “You better believe it little sister” said Gwen placing Kaylee in her high chair “Mommy and aunty Ru are sisters?” asked Kaylee looking between the two Amazons, Gwen chuckled “Yes aunty Rugosa is my little sister and she has to go take a nap now" Rugosa yawned and left Gwen and Kaylee to talk, Amazon's adopted Littles all the time this made the idea of family much more flexible "Family is what you make of it" smiled Rugosa to herself, she liked the idea of having a sister, the whole idea of a family passed through Rugosas mind as she drifted off to sleep. With the knowledge that Amelia would be alright as soon as Rugosa finished writing her final program Rugosa and Gwen decided that Amelia needed house for just the two of them so with a lot of help from Gwen Rugosa managed to find a house in her price range after all unemployed people don't make much and better still was ready to move in today if all the paperwork was completed "You never told me how you were going to help Amelia" said Gwen after the Littles were put down for a nap "Oh didn't I" replied Rugosa looking up from her screen, she thought about it just how to put it then spoke "Well since the mental barriers are disappearing as we have seen…" "That's an understatement" added Gwen, Amelia were jumping personalities randomly now "I'm going to bring them together" finished Rugosa "How are you going to do that aren't they different people?" Asked Gwen, she wasn't as smart as Rugosa in this subject but was sure that it wouldn't work or it would and madness would be the end result "True but the ones I made are incomplete, only the important memories are there, the ones that make the personality I needed" Gwen still looked like she didn't follow "If we go back to the brick metaphor from the other day, it's like all the bricks I packed on were broken so I'm playing a big game of Tetris and merging most of them to complete each other, after that it just takes time for the brain to sort itself out and presto Amelia becomes the person she wants to be" Gwen still didn't follow Rugosas explanation but trusted that she knew what she was doing. It was finally time, the time to finally start both of their new lives "Rose I'm scared" said Amelia as she lay with the device ready "I don't want to die" with the growing pain Amelia was convinced she was going to die "Your going to be perfectly fine" smiled Rugosa down at her Little "This is going to make you all better, you will feel so good you will feel like a whole new person" Rugosa said stroking the Littles hair "I will?" "You sure will, then we can start our new life together" "Then you will be Rose for real?" Asked Amelia "That's right it won't just be your name for me" the Little looked in thought for a few seconds "Do I get a new name too?" Asked the Little "Do you want one?" Asked Rugosa and the Little nodded "I gave you your name so you should give me one" Rugosa smiled "How about… Emily?" "Emily" said the Little trying out the name "I like it, Emily… I will be your Emy" Rugosa smiled her biggest smile to date "My Little Emy, when you wake we will be in our new house, with our new lives and you will see just how much I love you" "Will we still see Kaylee and aunty Gwen?" "We will see them as much as you want" the Little smiled at that "I would like that" with everything said Rugosa made one final tweak to her program so her Emy would know her name and started the program. "How long is this going to take?" Asked Gwen and Amelia's eyes closed "I'm not sure" answered Rugosa "The old programs took minutes but that was simple, this program isn't just dumping information it's got to rearrange the existing information without causing damage and that is not simple" there was a silence between the two Amazon's before Gwen spoke again "Let me know if you need anything… my sister Rose" Rose smiled "Thank you Gwen" said Rose and she watched her Little through the day and into the night, when the process finished Emily was left with in a comatose state and even then Rose never left her side thanks to the help of her friends and new sister, Roses house was furnished and moved in. Four days after getting settled into their new house Emily opened her eyes with no memory of her loving carer Rose.

@littleTomás @HyperShark All will be revealed in this and the next update ? @HyperShark Do you read all the Diaper Dimension story's? I take a look at your google docs list of them at least once a week to see what I might have missed in others peoples story's. For everyone reading I apologise for the writing in this and the next update almost all of it was written while waiting in lines at Tokyo Disney and Universal studios Japan, I've cleaned it up as best I can but still... *** Part 26 Is that Emy? Now possessing a belly that was no longer hungry it was time for the next important item "How are we going to get clothes that fit?" Asked Emily in her mind as she walked past the Amazon houses "That's an easy one" answered Nora "You want us to steal them right?" Asked Grace "I prefer to call it borrowing without permission, looky there" Emily looked over to where the non existent finger pointed and saw a clothes line full with a mix of Amazon and Little clothing "Stealing is wrong" piped Maddy "Yes it is…" agreed Grace "But we aren't stealing persay…" Emily looked at the clean dresses waving slightly in the wind then felt her damp, torn and filthy clothing, this was her only memories of clothing but knew that clothing was not meant to be that way "As long as we aren't stealing, mommy says that's wrong" "That's a matter of opinion" muttered Nora then proceeded to tell Emily what to do. It was not easy and Emily didn't feel right with taking the clothing without asking first but when it was finally on she could overlook her misgivings about it "Well it isn't the most stylish thing I’ve ever worn and I would kill for some underwear right about now but fuck it we have clothes that dosent smell like piss, thank fucking whoever for putting the washing out at the ass crack of dawn" "Actually I think they were left out overnight" commented Grace "Whatever" muttered Nora. Emily had been wandering in some nearby forest aimlessly for a couple of minutes before one of the others finally spoke to her directly "Emily what are we doing?" Asked Maddy "Walking" answered the Little "We can see that and don't know what you are doing" said Grace "I don't know what to do next" answered Emily, she had been wandering not so much because she didn't know what to do but so she could explore these memories that she had, they were there but not in any particular order "Are you thick or something, we get back home" growled Nora "How?" Asked Emily not having seen any possible way home from the explored memories so far, in fact it seemed like a miracle that she had gotten away from that horrible Amazon "I don't know isn't that why you are in control of the body" "Kaylee" piped Maddy "Who?" Asked everyone else "Kaylee, she was going to take us home if we played together, it made me sad I wanted to stay and playyyyyyy" "Back up who is Kaylee?". -Rose- Rose was frantic and exhausted, she had almost gotten into multiple car accidents while searching for her Little with no success, come midday the following day Rose finally had to rest or she was convinced that she would probably kill herself and someone else if she kept going, her own life did not matter but injuring someone else because of her own stupidity was not acceptable "Knock knock" said Rose in a near zombie like voice as she knocked on the door of her sisters house, nearly dead on her feet it was all she could do to keep herself awake just that bit longer "Rose" said Gwen after opening the door looking like she had just woken up while at the same time not having much of that sleep "Come in, come in" Kaylee and Gwen had heard what happened to Emy and went out in search of the Little, with no success she reluctantly had given up on the search a couple of hours ago "Did you find her?" Asked Gwen now fully awake and hoping for the good news of Emy sleeping soundly in the car, another tear started to form in the corners of Roses eyes "I didn't… and… I can't" Rose started to collapse and was caught by Gwen "Let's get you to bed, you'll be no good to Emy like this" Gwen helped Rose to the spare bedroom and laid her down “Thank you Gwen” mumbled Rose before slipping off into her own memories of the events that lead to her predicament. “With this idea I believe we can finally give every Amazon the Little they want and better still the Little wont know any different so no one is hurt” Alex Harding was a bit of a visionary and always made sure to flush out his ideas with Rugosa his head of research and development, the man was in it all for the betterment of Amazon kind but he was too soft in that he wouldn't force the Littles into their proper place or at least that was Rugosas thoughts "Just think of it, if we could remove the Littles existing personality and add a new one of our own making then if say the Amazon wanted a Little that loved to be punished then that Amazon may have to wait years to find the right one, we can already modified their appearance so why not take that Little that is terrified of being punished and change their personality so they now crave it, the Little isn't harmed in any way and the Amazon doesn't have to wait years for their perfect Little" Rugosa didn't care for Littles one bit and couldn't understand why someone would want one, the only thing that they were good for was to let out her frustration on from time to time but even then they broke way sooner than she would have liked so they couldn't even do that properly, Rugosa started to think about how she would approach this new and interesting task her boss was setting her, his were never dull which is why Rugosa continued to work for the company all this time "Now for this task we may fall into some… um questionable territory so I have hired David King here" Rugosa looked at the other man in the room with them "Hi, call me Dave everyone does" smiled the man, Rugosa could tell straight away it was a fake smile, Rugosa nodded in the man's direction and returned her attention back to her boss "David here will be able to get anything you may need" "Just tell me what you need and I'll have it within twenty four hours" said Dave still wearing his fake smile "I'll have the full outline of the project on your desk before today's end" said Alex knowing the gears were already turning the the brilliant mind of Rugosa "Very good, I should have a better idea of where to begin tomorrow" her boss nodded and the unofficial meeting was concluded. "I've been looking forever and can't find one" sighed Rugosa's best friend Gwen Miller "I can't understand why you would want one of those horrible things" replied Rugosa after swallowing the sandwich she had been eating "I've been working closer with them more than I would like recently and all they do is make messes and scream about how unfair everything is" Rugosa took another bite of her lunch "You just haven't met the right Little yet that's all when you do they will change everything" Gwen and Rugosa had been as close as sisters since their earliest memories and Rugosa had been absent the last couple of months with her newest project, Gwen finally managed to drag her butt out of the lab for a lunch break and even now she was working away on her portable computer "The day I get a Little is the day I give up my job" joked Rugosa "Your so lucky to get to work with Littles everyday" sighed Gwen wishing for just a moment that she could trade places with her friend "Would you like a tour?" Asked Rugosa thinking that this might finally show her friend how annoying Littles can be, Gwen however thought this was a fabulous idea so she could show Rugosa how wonderful Littles can be. They finished up lunch and headed into Rugosa's lab area where Gwen was given the quick and dirty tour as she had seen it before there wasn't really a need to show her everything, just what's new "And in here we keep the Littles" Rugosa opened the locked room to reveal a collection of smaller rooms each with a glass looking cover "Can they see us?" Asked Gwen "No it's one way, we can see them but they can't see us" Gwen walked through looking at the Littles inside and wanted to hug each and everyone of them "They are so adorable" cooed Gwen "You say that now just wait till one bites you, I've had to remove more than one set of teeth" "They are just scared" replied Gwen all to sure that if they were adopted by her they would never want to hurt her because of how great of a mother she knew she could be to one of them "I bet if I gave you one you would be begging me to take the thing back within a couple of days, just go to one of those Little cafes and get it out of your system, it's cheaper in the long run" Rugosa was unaware that Gwen visited that very type of cafe at least once a week "I bet your wrong" said Gwen trying to hide the small embarrassment she felt at her friends words, Rugosa sighed as she realised that Gwen was not going to see her way unless she has one of the brats herself "Fine I'll let you take one home for the weekend but I warn you they are terrible things" Gwen's eyes lit up like she had just been handed the gift she had always wanted "For real?" Rugosa thought about the Little she had that looked half dead and didn't seem to be getting any better, if Gwen could help the thing, Rugosa could still use it when her friend inevitably returned the good for nothing thing and if not, well at the very least it will make her friend happy it's not like the company cares what she did with the Littles as long as the task was ultimately completed "Come with me" sighed Rugosa. Gwen looked through the viewing area and her heart nearly broke as she saw the battered and bruised Little inside, Gwen knew her friend could be cruel to Littles but this was bad and seeing the Little in this state brought out the mothering instinct to heal the Little "Believe it or not she's in much better condition now than when we got her" said Rugosa "Almost every bone in her body had been broken at least once and a couple of organs were on the verge of failing" Gwen was glad to hear that the harm hadn't been inflicted by her friend "She looks malnourished" added Gwen "I suspect that she has had more food since she has been here than she has in the last couple of months before arriving" hearing this did brake Gwen's heart "Rugo you have to let me take her home" pleaded Gwen as if Rugosa didn't actually intend to let her take the Little home "She's yours, just let me know when you want to return her" Gwen hugged Rugosa and thanked her over and over "Yea yea, don't say I didn't warn you about them" Gwen acted like she didn't hear the last statement and asked the only question she needed to know" "What's her name?" "Kaylee, but feel free to change it" after another round of hugs and thanks Gwen now had her very own Little that needed all the love and care that she could give. A month, one whole month and Gwen still had not wanted to return the Little, hell Rugosa had barely even seen Gwen since she left with the Little and Rugosa wasn't having much luck with work, there was one that was showing promise but Rugosa believed there was something wrong with the subject because she was… odd even for a Little. The Little was labelled subject seventeen and instead of begging to be let go and just generally causing trouble for Rugosa this Little actually begged to be mistreated, to be hurt and even to be killed and Rugosa was happy to oblige on her bad days, going as far as to break the Littles legs multiple times. It was clear to Rugosa that this Little didn't want the pain for some kind of twisted pleasure, no she wanted to die, Rugosa found this out after talking to the Little, this was not the sort of thing she ever did but the confusing traits of this Little baffled Rugosa and she wondered if this trait would lead to her successful completion. After a while Rugosa took over the task of healing the Littles wounds and spoke to her "Why do you keep wanting this? Doesn't it hurt?" Asked Rugosa "The pain is near unbearable" replied the Little through gritted teeth "Then why do you keep asking for this?" Asked Rugosa while applying the cream that would mend the bones within two or so days "You might finish the job" Rugosa expected something of this nature but was still baffled by it all the same. Over the next couple of months Rugosa found it harder and harder to hurt the Little and stopped using her in the experiments, it was only in the deepest areas of her mind that Rugosa would admit that she was coming to like the Little, she put it down to not wanting to lose a potentially valuable test subject "Admit it you like this one" grinned Gwen "That is absurd, she's just an interesting subject" "That's not the way you talk about her" sung Gwen, Rugosa shook her head and ignored the teasing of her friend "How's your rugrat going these days?" This being one of the few times that Gwen and Rugosa had been able to meet up in weeks given how far apart they lived these days she had not really had a chance to ask in person and Gwen was keeping everything hush hush online "She has really settled down these last couple of days" Rugosa grinned "She took a bite of you didn't she, I told you…" "No actually it was just hard to gain her trust" "You should have just drugged her, I did" said Rugosa "I didn't want to do anything she didn't want to do but just a couple of days ago she let me help her and she is just the most cuddly and adorable Little you will ever meet" Rugosa rolled her eyes "Amazon's are in charge, not the other way around" "I know you don't like my new age thinking but I truly believe it's working for us" said Gwen pulling back the shade cover of the stroller to reveal the sleeping Kaylee, wet diaper on full display, Rugosa rolled her eyes again and began to stand up "Whatever I'm just glad your happy, listen thanks for the meal but I've got to head back to work" "No, thank you it's your shout" called Gwen with a grin as Rugosa walked away and was rewarded with a single raised finger as a reward. The time had finally come to show Alex Harding how far the project has come “As we all know Littles minds are very malleable, they are very susceptible to drugs and hypnotics how ever this does not give us the ideal Little we all want” said Rugosa in front of the people that would decide if her funding was continued or not “Thanks to the brilliant ideas of Alex, I have been working on a way to basically print the mind you want onto any Little, say you have a Little that is still fighting you a couple of days after the adoption well bring them to us and we could print the mind of a Little that is truly down to the core content with you taking care of them” Rugosa couldn't tell if the crowd was impressed or not “How is this done if hypnotics and drugs can't change Littles how we want?” asked a Mid Amazon woman “I’m very glad you asked” said Rugosa “The Littles mind is actually stronger than any of us give it credit for so what I have done is managed to introduce a second personality then suppress the original permanently so only ours remains” this wasn't entirely true because the printing so far only held for a couple of days before the original personality re-emerged “And this works?” asked one of the males “The trials so far are very promising, would you care for a demonstration?” the male thought for a second then nodded “Right this way” Rugosa lead the crowd into the Little holding area “Would you care to pick a Little to imprint?” asked Rugosa, the man looked through the Littles and picked the only one he could see that seemed to be having a tantrum “JUST END THIS NOW!!!” screamed subject seventeen, Rugosas stomach dropped, the Little was in another of her depression cycles and it attracted the attention of the people Rugosa couldn't deny if she wanted to continue her work “I FUCKING HATE YOU!!!” the Little screamed “Quite a mouth on that one” commented one of the women “Agreed Littles should be seen and not heard, can you make her the perfect Little girl?” asked the man Rugosa had selected to choose the Little “While everyone's definition of perfect is different from person to person I can definitely imprint a personality that I believe will suit your tastes” Rugosa went to the microphone and turned it on “Subject seventeen, time for a treatment” “FUCK YOUR TREATMENT!!!” shouted the Little and smashed her hand into the fake window that of course didn't even leave a mark besides the blood stain, it was painful for Rugosa to see the Little in this state, lately she had found that just going to talk to the Little calmed her down and seemed to recenter her “Now” said Rugosa in the most authoritative voice she could muster, when the Little wasn't in one of her moods the Little actually saw things in such a simple way that she had actually helped Rugosa with a couple of problems “You have to the count of three” Rugosa saw that this didn't impress the crowd she needed to get seventeen on the table now “One…” without even waiting another second Rugosa pushed the button that electrocuted the room and the Little convulsed violently, Rugosa was forced to look back at her audience just so she didn't have to see the pain the Little was in “I apologize for this” said Rugosa and she released the button “Fuck… you” stuttered the Little, she had been through this so many times over the time she had been here that it no longer left her a drooling puddle on the floor… well for long, Rugosa turned on the robo nursery to place the Little on the exam table. In moments the Little was being held down on the table with a halo looking device fitted on her head "Now just give me a second to enter your prefered personality" Rugosa typed away and flipped through menus. It was ready, all Rugosa had to do was press the button and the interesting Little she had been growing to know would be gone, potentially for good "Is there a problem?" Asked the man, Rugosa hardened her heart and told herself that the Little was just a disposable subject "No" answered Rugosa and pressed the button to see the blue glow surround the Littles head "How long does this process take?" asked another member of the crowd "It verys for Little to Little but normally around five minutes is about the average" everyone waited in silence as the Littles face slowly went from pain and rage to the contented look of a Little that had found the joys of their Amazon carer for years. The blue light faded "How would you like to hold the Little?" Asked Rugosa knowing that this was the ultimate proof that her technique was working, the man looked surprised but nodded his agreement all the same. Rugosa lifted the contented Little out of the room and handed her to the man, everyone watched them "Daddy" cood the Little and snuggled herself into his chest, all remnants of the screaming Little she had been was now gone "That's incredible" murmured one of the women "In this case the Little will see the first Amazon to snuggle up with them as their caregiver" said Rugosa answering a question that wasn't asked. The live demonstration was a complete success and Rugosas funding was assured for another cycle. Rugosa tried to put subject seventeen out of her mind and it worked for a couple of days but she found herself constantly glancing at the surveillance monitor of the Little and saw her crying for the daddy that she believed she had known for years and had now left her for some unknown reason. Rugosa packed up for a another day of work and was just about to step out the door of her lab when she thought she could hear the crys of subject seventeen, this was impossible because the rooms had perfect sound insulation but none the less Rugosa turn and went over to see that the Little was indeed crying again, Rugosa cursed herself then opened the door of the Littles cell "Don't say I never do anything for you, your coming with me" said Rugosa and roughly dragged the Little closer to her and picked her up awkwardly "Stop wiggling" commanded Rugosa and the Little stopped moving but continued to sob "Are you… you… taking me… to daddy?" Asked the Little through her sobs "No" answered Rugosa simply and walked out of the lab with the Little returning to full balling. "Where's car seat?" Asked the Little now only sniffling "I don't have one so your riding in the front with me" Rugosa placed the Little in the front passenger seat and buckled her in as best she could "That's probably not safe" thought Rugosa to herself as she saw the seatbelts top strap go over the Littles head "Hold onto the belt" said Rugosa and without waiting to see if the Little complied she closed the door and walked around to her driver's seat. Rugosa managed to open the door of her apartment while balancing the Little on her hip "So this is my place" said Rugosa now seeing it through the eyes of this Little, it had everything she needed, a bed, a place to wash, a TV and a window to see the city scape, it did have a kitchen but Rugosa hadn't used that even once prefering to get take out instead "There… isn't much here" said the Little meekly "It's got everything I need" answered Rugosa and set the Little on the only lounge chair in the apartment "What do you want a burger or pizza?" Asked Rugosa not quite sure what Littles ate "Daddy…" started the Little and was cut off "He's gone and not coming back" said Rugosa perhaps a touch more angeraly than she ment too, the Little shrunk back on herself at those words and Rugosa saw the Little was starting to cry again "It's better you hear that now, I'll just get you pizza" Rugosa left the room and placed her order with the local pizza shop. The order arrived and Rugosa chucked a far smaller pizza box onto the Littles chair and dug into her own pizza. Rugosa got through the first slice and the Little hadn't even touched the box yet "Eat up, that's all I have for you" the Little wiped her eyes and looked at the box "I don't know how, daddy…" "He has never fed you in your life, now eat it's not hard" Rugosa trailed her last words as she saw the Little shrink inwards once more, this thing was so helpless it bogled Rugosas mind as to why anyone would want such a creature as a Little "Open the box, pick up a slice…" Rugosa demonstrated with her own pizza "Then put it in your mouth and chew" she took another bite as she watched the Little carefully open her box and take a slice from within "Now stick it in your mouth and chew" the Little did just that and just as Rugosa thought the Little had figured it out the Little began to swallow and immediately started to gasp, Rugosa knew that sound from her time with Gwen and her Little, the Little was choking. Rugosa ran over to the Little and started to slap her on the back until the mangled food was coughed up, Rugosa rolled her eyes, the Little couldn't even eat food without an Amazon "Are you alright?" Asked Rugosa, the Little nodded as she held her throat "Thank you" said the Little meekly. Rugosa ended up slicing the entire pizza up into small enough pieces that the Little couldn't chok again and after insurance from the Little she ended up hand feeding the Little, it wasn't like she had much else to do after her pizza had fallen on the floor when she went to save the Littles life. "There that should do you for the night" said Rugosa placing a spare pillow on the lounge chair, the Little was small enough to use it as a bed so with a few sheets that flowed off in every direction and a spare pillow the Little now had a place to sleep "Sleep tight and all that crap" said Rugosa and began to walk away "Aren't you going to change me before bed?" Asked the Little, Rugosa mentally kicked herself at not at least taking a spare diaper, every Little needs them after all, if she had just remembered that and brought one even if she just doubled up for the night so the nursery could take care of it tomorrow "I don't have any, don't leak" said Rugosa simply and turned out the lights. Rugosa did hear the Little sobbing herself to sleep but simply rolled over and went to sleep herself. Rugosa awoke to the sound of something hitting the floor then the sound of crying, Rugosa sighed and rolled back over to try and go back to sleep, pattering foot steps made that difficult "What?" Called Rugosa as she heard the crying Littles footsteps stop at her door way "I fell… out… of bed" sobbed the Little, Rugosa rolled her eyes "What do you want me to do about it, you can't be that hurt if you made it here, go back to sleep" there was about a minute of silence then "Can I sleep with you mommy?" Rugosa shot round and looked at the Little "I’m not your mommy" the Little shrunk a bit but continued to watch the Amazon "If I let you sleep with me will you stop annoying me?" The Little nodded her head "Fine" groaned Rugosa and lifted the Little up by her diapered butt onto the bed, Rugosa noted to herself that the thing was feeling quite full. "Now go to sleep" the Little nodded her head as she curled into the bedding near the wall, Rugosa moved herself closer to the edge of the bed so she didn't accidentally roll over and squish the Little "Thank you" said the Little in such a quiet voice Rugosa had to think twice about what was said, Rugosa turned away from the Little and went back to sleep.

Don't worry @littleTomás all that will be revealed soon ? So before the next part just two quick things to point out, like I said in my last post these next parts are not going to be as nice as previous ones and lastly the swearing returns in the this part so you have been warned. *** Third Arc “I am...” Part 25 The Little It was hard for Rose to make the boring weekdays fun but she made up for it on the weekends where we went to various places that were both fun and exciting, both Gwen and Wendy accompanied us from time to time along with their Littles of course. Thirty six hours that was all the time I had left to wait before Kaylee promised to return me to my home dimension I was practically counting down the minutes thanks to Roses watch, now you're probably wondering what happened during the time you have missed so let me give you a quick rundown on what has been happening, Rose and I agreed that I shouldn't know anything about her past indiscretions with the law for each of our safety besides I just had to make it till Kaylee's dead line, Wendy and Abby started spending more and more time at Roses place till just last week where they officially moved in, turns out that my plan of getting them to the zoo together bore lovely fruit but sadly it wasn't all good news, the day before Wendy and Abby moved in Roses place was broken into, I thought that Rose looked worried when she saw all of her possessions scattered over the floor but when she saw that the door to the basement was broken we had fled to Wendy's house, perhaps it was this that was the motivation for Wendy to join us. The four of us had returned to the house hours later to clean up, even my room wasn't untouched, the site of my diapers scattering the floor was in the first few days one of my better day dreams but seeing it just made me scared that some unknown person had gone through my stuff, even though Rose didn't go to any law enforcement about the matter Dave offered to track down anything that had been stolen which Rose would not tell me all I knew was that none of my stuff had been taken, within three days Rose was back to her chipper self and I felt safer having Abby sleeping in the same room as me even if she slept in a crib. Today like most weekdays I was at the daycare center but unlike most days Kaylee and I had a bit of a role reversal, I was near bouncing out of my skin while Kaylee was getting annoyed with me constantly asking if she was going to keep her word and if she actually could “For the last time yes” sighed Kaylee “I just want to make sure” I said bouncing my foot as we were painting, Kaylee was quickly losing her never ending spark and it made me briefly wonder if it was because I would be leaving or me bugging her for once “What are you two talking about?” asked Abby not for the first time “Nothing she's just being weird” sighed Kaylee, I grinned at her then went back to my painting, I would miss this among a few other things, the discussions I have had with Kaylee and Abby over these weeks have been pleasant and maddening while I have come to accept that they wanted the life style the Amazons offered it wasn't for me, I had friends and family back home that probably thought I was missing or worse dead. I had contemplated staying like I had told Rose all those weeks ago on the carousel but even though I was now almost completely dependent on these diapers I was told that if I was to get back to my home dimension that my bladder control would return and I was very much looking forward to that, it wasn't the only thing I was looking forward to I had started a mental list of the things I wanted to do as soon as I got home, number one being to get rid of these diapers once and for all and the second involved my boyfriend… ahem so yea Rose I still didn't know what I was going to do with Rose. I didn't know whether to tell Rose everything in person which I feared she may try to stop me even by force or to leave her a note explaining everything, I was leaning more towards this but the words never seemed to sound right, after all I have been here long enough to know that I could have ended up with some Amazon that made hitler look like a saint, thankfully they were rare but still Rose protected me from all the mind altering stuff she could minus Kaylee's meddlings of course but I couldn't blame her for that Kaylee on the other hand… “Abby… Emy…” came the voice of Holly the Amazon receptionist, the both of us looked up and jumped up knowing that Martha would keep our paintings safe for another day “Cya Kaylee” I said I ran off to the door to retrieve my shoes under the watchful eyes of Martha. The two of us ran through the hallway to our Respective Amazons “There you two are” said Rose with her warm smile and she embraced both of us as we ran into her open arms, While my own mother is great Rose truly did treat me like her own daughter even if a bit younger than I would have liked and I made sure to take in every hug she would offer now that they would be coming to an end “How was your day?” she asked “Gooooood” we both replied in unison “What about me?” asked Wendy as she knelt down, Rose released us and we gave Wendy a hug too “Ahh that's better” she said with a chuckle “I needed my daily hug fix” she added, this was something that she had been saying since Wendy moved in but it still managed to get a chuckle out of Abby and myself “You got one this morning” laughed Abby “That was days ago wasn't it?” asked Wendy in mock puzzlement “Noooooo it was this morning” giggled Abby, I enjoyed this banter between them. “So what are we going to do when we get home?” Rose asked with her smirk in the cars rear view mirror, this was a jab at me, I knew it, they knew it, I know they know it but just like every time we had driven home I had to say it anyway “Lets…” I started “Go for a walk to the park” finished my three fellow car mates “My words exactly” I said with a smile to myself. For as long as Abby and Wendy had been living with us I have always wanted to go to the park so I could talk with Dave, not that anyone knew that was the true reason not even Abby who I had to bribe with my nightly deserts so she would tell Rose and Wendy that the two of us had been playing together “Has there been any luck with your burglary?” asked Dave “Nope” I sighed “I don't even know if anything was even stollen” I added as we walked along “Again just let me know if there's anything I can do to help” “Thanks Dave” If and I stress the if I was to compare my current life to that of my soon to be reclaimed life Rose was like my mother, a kind and funny caretaker while Dave was like a farther, strong and there to listen or attempt to fix any problem presented, Abby was like the pet… ok thats a bit harsh maybe a sister that I never had and then of course there was Kaylee who was definitely like a best friend in that she annoyed me enough to keep me on my feet yet kind enough to actually be called a friend, without these people, I don't think I could have survived here. “It's not long now” I told Dave “and then I will be going home” “How are you going to be doing that?” this was not the first time he had asked and this time was not going to be the day I reveal my secret “Thats a trade secret” I told him and he laughed “Just be sure to let me know how to manage it some day” “You say that like you don't believe me” I replied with a grin, this also not being said for the first time “If there is a Little that can do it I’m sure you can” he laughed “You just wait, in a little over a day and you won't see me any more” we continued to walk on as I contemplated how to say goodbye to this man that was always there to listen to me and never tried to persuade me to stay “Dave I…” I was cut off as I heard my name being called, I turned to see Abby running in our direction “Crap…” I muttered, I didn't want Abby to know about Dave either “Emy mommy says we have to go n…” she stopped dead in her tracks as she saw I was with someone, her eyes bugged out and she bolted in the opposite direction she had been running “Don't worry thats just Abby, the one I told you I had to bribe so we wouldn't be bothered” Dave nodded his head but seemed distracted all the same “Well I guess I had better head back before Rose comes looking for me” Dave nodded again, I then heard yelling that I could only make out one word… my name, I looked around in confusion and saw two Amazon figures running toward us one behind the other, the last one clearly carrying something in their arms “Busted” said Dave with a grin, I rolled my eyes “I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later” I sighed, but Rose was overreacting sure Dave was a stranger to her but I have known him for months now “EMMA GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!” came Roses shouts, at the time it didn't even register that she had used my actual name “It's ok Rose, Daves a nice guy” I said as she bounded up to us breathing hard, there was a two meter gap between Rose and us now “Emma come to me now” said Rose in a breathless panic, at first it was hard to tell who the woman was that stopped beside Rose with the mess of hair covering her face until I noticed Abby in her arms hiding her face in Wendys chest "Rose this is Dave, Dave this is…" Dave answered before I could finish "Rugosa" I turn and looked up to see Dave smiling at Rose and not in a friendly way "Rugosa, who's that?" I asked now not so certain I was in safe hands "Emma come to me now" said Rose once more, I took a step towards her and quickly found a hand on my shoulder "Haven't you told her anything?" He asked Rose "Don't you say another word" Rose near spat the words at Dave "Well if you won't, I had better tell her her real name…" Rose flung herself towards Dave "Is Amelia Gardener" thump! Rose collided with Dave shoulder first into his chest, the moment I heard that name it was like a million rubber bands snapping into place telling me the stories of lives that I've never lived. --Rose-- The Amazon known as Rose collided with the man she knew all too well would not hesitate to hurt any of them to get the target he was after “RUN!!!” shouted Rose as she was getting to her feet, ignoring the groans of pain emanating from the man she had just knocked down, with a quick glance in her lovers direction she confirmed that she and her Little were moving away however a glance at her own Little revealed a wide eyed statue that clearly couldn't move, without thinking twice Rose Grabbed her Little into her arms and ran for it all the way home. Rose had never considered herself a fit woman but she made it back to her place in a time that athletes would envy and while carrying a Little at that. Heart thumping and breathing hard Rose brushed past her already open door and into the bedroom seeing that her lover was a step ahead and already packing the bare essentials needed to go back on the run “I have clothes for us, we just need things for the Littles and your drives” said Wendy still breathing hard herself, Rose nodded her head and laid her statue like Little on her own spacious bed, as bad as Rose felt for what her Little must be going through she simply didn't have the time to help her Little now that Dave knew where they were, with any luck Emy would be in that state till she could get on the road. Rose bolted down the stairs to the basement and ripped out the data drives of her computer hoping that her information would be safe but didn't have the time to be sure. Rose flew back upstairs and into the Littles room and grabbed the first two bags she saw there and started to throw any clothes and spare diapers she could get her hands on quickly, lastly Rose made sure that she grabbed the teddy bear she had made for Emy all those months ago it was becoming her favorite after all so even in this time of panic mr bear had to come. “I have things for the girls” said Rose panting at the before door “And I our stuff” answered Wendy “Abby dear everything is going to be fine” said Rose trying to comfort the crying Little on Roses own bed, the Little had rolled herself in the covers, Rose peeled back the cover expecting to see both Littles and was suddenly filled with more panic as she saw only Abby laying there “Wheres Emy?” asked Rose throwing her head around looking for her Little “She's just…” Wendy turned towards the bed and also saw only the one Little laying there sobbing “She ran away” howled Abby and she returned to her crying. -Emma- A sense of self returned to the Little once known as Emy, it was clear to her now that she was not who she thought she was but it wasn't the time to contemplate that now, now she had to get away to safety. Looking around the Little once known as Emy saw an Amazon she both knew and was a complete stranger to, voices spoke in her head voices she knew to be her own yet not making sense "Run, must escape" "The Amazon will protect us" "SHUT UP!" the voices were loud and frantic in their eagerness to be heard. The Little was bombarded from the inside while also listening to the crying of a fellow Little "Friend Abby" said a small part of her mind but this too was drowned out by the internal voices, it was all too much so the Little once known as Emy crawled off the bed and ran, ran like her life depended on it, through the open doors and out in the sun light that blinded her eyes as much as the internal voices deafened her ears. -Rose- “What do you mean she ran away?” asked Rose frantically “Out... there” Abby managed to choke out while pointing out the bedroom door, Roses mind raced as she pieced together what must be happening to her Little “Wen I need you and Abby to get somewhere safe, I’m going to go look for Emy” Wen didn't argue, merely nodded her agreement and added “Be safe and both of you come back too us” she then planted a kiss on Roses lips. Rose mentally scolded herself for leaving that front door open, she may have been in a rush but she knew what state Emy was in and should not have risked it, now she had to find Emy who probably wasn't fully herself before Dave did, all this because she didn't shut the front door “Emy I’m sorry I shouldn't have left your side” Rose whispered to herself as she drove past house after house, she didn't even know if Emy was heading this way or how far she could travel it was all going to depend on luck. -Emma- The Little once known as Emy awoke in the semi dark and felt the damp coldness all around her. The voices started up once more thankfully this time they sounded as tired as she did "What time is it?" "Where's the blanket?" "It's too early for this shit" the Little listened to the voices this time able to tell them apart "Who are you?" She asked barley sure of who she was yet had to know "Go back to sleep" "Where's mommy?" "Shut up" the voices weren't any help in their replies, the Little returned her attention to the world she could control, the first thing she noticed was that she was not in a bed if the cold of the morning didn't tell her that no she appeared to be in a flower bed with flowers all around her and a few under her, thankfully the brick house this flower bed was next too offered some warmth now if her clothing offered the same she could not complain but sadly her entire lower half was wet and freezing cold, she was also aware of the wet padding between her legs "That's just the diaper, ignore it" "Mommy will change it" "Why the fuck am I wearing this again? And worse still why the hell is it LEAKING!" The voices seemed to answer her thoughts more than her own spoken words this in itself was puzzling but as the voices pointed out there were more important things to deal with at this time. The Little once known as Emy tried to pull off the plastic tabs holding the wet padding to her hips "You can't remove it" "Only mommy knows the magic spell to remove a diaper" "Why the fuck won't these things come off" The Little listened to the voices and even though they sounded like her she could sense their… personality's apart, the first sounded easy going almost the stereotypical surfer, the second seemed to have a child like quality about it and the third just seemed to be annoyed at everything "I'm not annoyed at everything, that stupid bitch said I wouldn't have to wear these any more and here I am covered in my own piss" said the grumpy voice "I'm this many" added the childlike voice and the Little got the mental image of two fingers being held up "Who are you?" Asked the Little again aloud "Who are any of us?" Replied surfer voice "That's not helpful" grunted the Little as she tried forcing the wet padding past her hips to remove it like underwear and had a vague sense of doing this once before "Who are you miss?" Asked the childlike voice "I'm… I'm…" the Little thought and immediately four names came to mind, Madison, Grace, Nora and Emily "I don't know" the Little answered slowly "Surly one of those names is yours silly billy" giggled childlike, with a bit more poking around her memories the Little both found and didn't find anything there, there were memories but none of them felt right like they were someone else's "Who gives a crap just give yourself a name and get this fucking thing off… and find some food" grumpy almost whispered this last bit into the Littles mind "Yes yes, food I'm sure mommy has made something wonderful" "We are on the run you stupid fuck" "That's mean" childlike sounded like she was going to cry "Easy now let's just get along" the Little covered her ears but of course the voices did not quitetten into the slightest "But out surfet" shot grumpy "Surfet" chuckled surfer like a child who had just heard a potty joke "That's funny" "Please be quite" cried the Little still trying to block the noise out with her hands, she felt the attention of the voices turn to her somehow "We need to work together" said surfer now serious "Bite me" there was a short silence as the Little continued to try in vain to block out the voices "I will get control of this body again one day but till then…" grumpy let out a sigh and continued "There's a sharp rock to your right" said grumpy a bit kinder, the Little opened her eyes and like grumpy said there was a rock laying there like a stone arrowhead "What do I do with this?" Asked the Little as she picked it up "Are you fucking thick…" grumpy started to explode and stopped herself with a inhale of breath that the Little douted was needed "Use it to rip the sides of the fucking diaper" grumpy said through gritted teeth "But…" started childlike and the Little felt the invisible stare of grumpy at child. The Little used the rock and with some effort the garment was freed from her skin "What do we do with it now?" Asked the Little holding the soiled diaper by the now ripped tapes “Leave it here so we can go get food and new clothes” there was a tone in grumpys voice that sounded like there was meant to be a “duh” at the end of her statement, the Little didn't know what else to do so she did as told and left the well used diaper on the ground and ventured out into the world. It turned out that grumpy now using the name Nora was quite good at sneaking around and told the Little now Emily all the trick to sneaking around unseen, they had each decided to use one of the names that came to Emily's mind when she recalled what might be her name, surfer took the name Grace and child took Madison but insisted that it be shortened to Maddy because she said it sounds cuter but they all agreed that Emily was not a name for any of them because they thought it was the name of someone else but having no other name the Little decided to use it for herself after all she didn't feel any attachment to it and could change it later. “Wait… wait… ok now” Emily darted forward and snatched the toasted sandwich from the table of an Amazon that had left the table for a moment “Hey!” came the shout of the Amazon “What do I do now?” thought Emily and she continued to run past the cafe “Turn right” said Nora “But thats…” started Maddy “Deal with it, now IN!” Emily threw herself into the rose garden and received a number of scratches from the thorns “What now?” thought Emily looking at the sandwich and wanting to eat it right now but she had been told not to eat anything till she was told too “We wait” replied Nora, the Amazon ran past their hiding place clearly looking for the Little that had stolen his morning meal “Now can we eat” whined Maddy “Not yet” shot Nora in a whispered voice, Emily wondered why she did this seeing as she was the only one that could hear her, a few moments later the Amazon walked back past Emily's hiding spot “Now?” asked Emily in her mind “Give it a few more seconds” replied Nora, the Little waited and was finally given the green light by her mentor “We are going to get some seriously bad karma for this” remarked Grace as Emily was about to take a bite of her ill gotten gains “Would you rather go hungry?” asked Nora knowing that everyone of them felt the growing hunger coming from Emily, there was a clear hesitation but Grace finally spoke up “We will simply have to make up for it at another time” with that the Little now known as Emily ate her first meal both alone and surrounded by company.

@treasuresman I'm with you she defiantly can be lol Sorry everyone for not posting Monday I was with family for the last couple of days or flying (no internet) but I'm home now so heres the next chapter though I should add that if you are reading this story because you like the cutesy thing I try to write I recommend you stop reading for a couple of months, the chapters after this move away from that for a while so I can tell the story, I believe it was Orson Welles that said "If you want a happy ending that depends of course on where you stop the story" Enjoy *** Part 24 Confessions and joy Wendy too let out a large breath she had been holding “Emma you don't know how dangerous that was running away from Gwen like that” said Wendy as Rose was still not letting me go “I got that thanks…” I said annoyed “Now tell me why” Rose finally released me from her embrace but still kept ahold of my wrists, Rose and Wendy looked at each other like they were asking each other what lie they should tell me “I’m quite sure you weren't robbed like you claimed so what's going on? Are you illegals in this country?” “No we are legal citizens” said Rose in a shaky voice “So your running from the law?” Rose and Wendy looked at each other again “I can see it on your faces, so what did you do?” I asked now sure that they were wanted by the law here “Emma, it's not that simple” said Wendy no longer using the cutesy name Rose liked to use on me “Then explain it to me” I near shouted, Wendy was about to say something but Roses phone started to ring “I can't” said Rose handing the phone to Wendy who answered it “Slow down she's here with us… yes… we will keep her with us till you get back out… ok bye” Wendy hung up the phone and handed it back to Rose “Gwen was freaking out because she lost you” said Wendy looking at me, her face was impassive, I felt the guilt shoot through me at hearing this “I didn't mean to make her worry” I tried to defend myself “I was going to be back before she noticed I was gone but the officer… wait don't change the subject” “Rose we need to…” began Wendy “Yea” replied Rose and she lifted me into her arms “Wait what are you doing” I protested, not wanting to fall onto my head… again… I didn't squerm like the first day in this world. We ended up in the corner of two fences out of the way of most of the visitors to the zoo “Ok ask your questions” said Rose now having regained her strength "What did the two of you do?" I asked more aquusitory than I meant to "First off Wendy here hasn't done anything, she's just been a good friend helping me" I rolled my eyes "Please Rose I saw the two of you kissing" the two of them looked at each other again "Don't worry I'm more than happy for you" I said before remembering that I was questioning them "So what did you… do?" I asked making sure to emphasize the you part, Rose paused for a couple of seconds probably gathering her thoughts "Without going into specifics I helped some people and the law got involved" I gave Rose a look over the same way she does when I think she's reading my mind "Did you kill someone?" "No" she said immediately "Did people get hurt" Roses face turned to a look of sadness "Yes… some people did get hurt in the process" admittedly I'm not the best lie detector but my gut was telling me that everything Rose was saying was true, I must have left the silence hang to long "Emy do you like Rose?" Asked Wendy out of nowhere, both Rose and I looked at her "I guess" I answered “Then does this information change anything about Rose?” I took my time to think about it “As long as you were honestly trying to help and you haven't killed anyone then I guess not” a look of relief came over Roses face, I guess she worried about what I thought of her “If I could go back and do it over so no one got hurt I would” said Rose “I’m sure you know this but you can't tell anyone about this or Rose will be in a lot of trouble” said Wendy “Yea I got that and I’m guessing that I would somehow give her away by talking to security” Rose nodded while Wendy explained “There is a chip right about here…” Wendy reached behind me and placed a finger on my spine just below the neck “That if scanned would be like announcing that Rose is here” the thought that something like that was placed inside me without my consent was disturbing but what else was new for this dimension besides when I get back to my dimension I’m sure I can have it removed by a doctor, I stood there thinking then started to shake my head in laughter “What's funny?” asked both Amazons “My life is feeling like some badly written novel” I chuckled “The innocent boring Rose actually ends up having this secret past, that I still don't know by the way...” I shrugged my shoulders “Well at least your not boring” I said still chuckling to myself “I’m not boring” said Rose in a mock hurt voice that was broken by the both of them having their own smirk, I remembered back to my first days when I made the joke of living with a druggie, I guess I was sort of right… though she's not a druggie just evading the law, I sat down on the table that I had been standing on to be head height with the Amazons “At least there's that” I mumbled to myself, Roses indiscretion was because she was helping someone I could live with that after all everyone has broken the law at some point or another but if she had truly done something bad like murdering someone then I don't think I would have been able to stay with her for the last two months needed for Kaylee to take me home, just as Rose was about to speak again we all heard animal sounds which wasn't out of the ordinary for being at the zoo, the reason we all looked at me was that the sounds were coming from my diapered crotch “Fuck sake!” I cried and through my head back in annoyance that I had another unconscious accident at such an important talk with Rose “Emy” said Rose in her warning voice “Yea yea” I said and waved her off, Rose smirked with her shaking head and before I knew it, I found the pacifier placed inside my mouth, I began to take it out but of course was stopped by Rose “That's for the bad language and for running off on Gwen you will be with me for the rest of the day” I quickly pulled the paci out of my mouth “What your still punishing me after all this” I complained and placed it back in my mouth “Yes, it could be much worse wouldn't you agree?” “I guess” I mumbled around the paci and pulled it out “I could just turn you in if I was petty” I said, both Amazons chuckled “We know your a good person and wouldn't do that” said Wendy, I rolled my eyes and placed the paci back in my mouth “I guess not” I mumbled, Rose scooped me up and we were off again. Gwen was waiting for us at the cave entrance “There you are Emy, why did you run off?” Asked Gwen, Rose answered for me “Emy had to tell me that she needed a diaper change” Gwen chuckled to herself, I briefly wondered why Rose lied to Gwen but that's a question for another time “I think we had better do a round of changes then, someone here wet themselves out of fear of the snakes” Abby seemed to turn a deeper shade of red at Gwen's words “I’m with you, nothing to be ashamed of...” said Rose “Snakes are scary” she continued and hid behind Wendy pretending to be scared, this got a good laugh out of everyone. Back in my home world there would be a male toilet, a female toilet and maybe a family slash disabled toilet but here there is the first two then there's also the “Littles change room”, inside there were five changing tables, with one currently being used by an Amazon and her female charge, it would have been very uncomfortable if they had have been male “Yes we had our photo there too” said the Amazon “Misty loved it, didn't you?” the Little was watching the ceiling with her thumb in her mouth not paying the slightest bit of attention to what her carer was doing between her legs “I think we need to go back to it, the photographer took the photo before Emy here was ready and it makes her look grumpy” said Rose as she started to wipe my diaper area “But she loved the butterfly house” continued Rose “Well if you take the first left up that way there is a great place to take some photos with your Littles” “What is it?” asked Rose, the Amazon smiled “I take it this is your first time here, trust me it's better left as a surprise but if you want the best pictures try to wait till it gets dark” Rose thanked the woman and they both talked about other uninteresting topics while the other Little and myself were changed. “Are we good to go?” asked Wendy as Rose and I walked out of the change room “Unless anyone else needs a change I think we are good to go” replied Rose with a chuckle and everyone started off “Emy” I looked back to see Rose standing there with her hand outstretched to me “Really” I mumbled around the pacifier and walked back to take her hand “Good girl” she said with her smile, I rolled my eyes and we caught up with the others. We were quickly approaching the next display of animals “I bet none of you have seen these animals” said Gwen after reading the sign, I looked up to read the sign but was dragged along by Rose before I could get a good look “Ooooo hes sooooo cute” said a random Little in the crowd of people, I stood straighter and tried to look over the heads of everyone with no success, we moved off to the side some more and I could see it “What is that? A small bear?” asked Kaylee “It's a koala” said Abby and I in unison though my words were probably more hard to understand with the dam pacifier in my mouth, Kaylee stared at us in puzzlement “A what?” she asked “Oh so you have seen them before?” asked Gwen “I have seen them back in my old home” said Abby cheeraly watching the fluff ball hang onto the Amazon that was talking about it, I pulled the pacifier out of my mouth and asked “Are you from Australia Abby?” Abby looked at me in surprise “Yes, I guess your not American then” I shook my head and laughed “No I thought you were American” she giggled “Nope” “Well isn't that nice you two have something in common” said Rose looking at the two of us with her smile “Did I hear correctly…” came the voice of the male Amazon holding the koala, we all looked over to him “That we have some Littles that are native to our friends home” he continued and scanned the crowd “Over here” called Wendy pointing down to Abby and myself “Mam would you care too bring your Littles up here?” asked the Amazon, Wendy looked at me as if asking “want to come” and I answered her unasked question with a shake of the head and placing the pacifier back in my mouth “Go on” said Rose and gave me a quick nudge “They must be feeling shy let's give them a hand of encouragement” the crowd started to applaud and Abby made her way to the zoo employee with Wendy, Rose followed Wendy and since she was still holding my hand I was brought along with her. The four of us looked out at the small crowd in front of us with Kaylee and Gwen now near the front “So can you tell me where Willow here is from?” the zoo employee asked Abby while giving Willow a few pats “Yes, he is native to my old dimension and country Australia” “Very clever” said the employee “How about you, can you tell me what he likes to eat?” he asked after turning to me, I froze just looking at all the people watching me, in some small part of my mind I felt Rose pluck the paci out of my mouth but my attention was still on the crowd, I had never been very good with crowds and coming to this world didn't help “She's a bit nervous with everyone watching” said Rose “That's ok, Willow here eats leaves or more specifically eucalyptus leaves…” words continued to flow from the employees mouth but they didn't register in my brain. The zoo employee continued to ask questions of Abby and myself, it took a couple of questions but eventually I came out of my paralyzed state mostly thanks to Rose and ended up able to answer a couple of questions, after he was done with all the information about Willow as a thanks for as the employee put it “being brave” Abby and I were aloud to pet Willow as he happily munched on some leaves, as I was stroking his fur I wondered why he remained the same size in this world while I apparently shrunk. “Do you know why Willow remained the same size but I shrunk?” I asked Rose as we were walking to the next exhibit “I’m afraid I don't meerkat, you should ask Wendy, she probably knows because of her job” Wendy over heard her name, stopped showing Abby the pictures they had been viewing together and looked back to us “Wendy what do you do for a living?” I asked, she smirked at me “Oh you know just the normal boring things” that was an odd reply “Soooo a teacher like Rose?” I asked, she bobbed her head “I guess you could say I teach” I looked to Rose hoping for a proper answer and was met with a smile that seemed to say “she's messing with you” yea thanks Rose I got that “We don't fully know why some living things come through full sized while others come through smaller, though we do know that your kind in particular seems to almost always come through smaller” answered Wendy “Ha so even the all knowing Amazons don't know why” I laughed, it made me very happy to know that even with how much smarter the Amazons were they still didn't know everything “Nope” chuckled Wendy and we kept walking on. Our timing worked out quite well as we ended up at the Zoos food court “Just before lunch” said Rose looking at her watch “Whos hungry?” immediately Kaylee and Abby were making it known how much they were starving, Wendy offered to get food for everyone, in the meantime Abby and Kaylee were entertaining themselves by chasing the pigeons who were trying to clean up dropped food from the ground “Girls don't go too far” called Gwen and returned to her conversation with Rose “I think you should let Emy go play with the girls” I saw Rose look at me from the corner of my eye, I was facing the same direction as Abby and Kaylee but my mind was somewhere else and giving a small amount of attention to the Amazons conversation “Emy has to stay with me for the rest of the day to remind her not to run off without us knowing” answered Rose “Go on, just till lunch gets here” prompt Gwen “The trio is missing a member aren't they Emy?” I heard my name and snapped my head round to face the voice “What?” I asked confused “She wasn't even listening” chuckled Rose “I was…” I shot back “You were talking about what you were going to do for dinner” I said with as much confidence as I could manage, both Amazons chuckled “That was a while ago my little airhead” said Rose giving me a side hug “Then I wasn't listening” I said giving her a smile “Told you” said Rose to Gwen. Wendy returned with food on trays and the two loonies were called back much to their reluctance until they saw the food “Well that was too much for me” I said as I drank the last of my drink but still had at least half of my meal left on the plate, I patted my stomach to emphasize the point “I’ll ave it” Kaylee tried to say with her mouth full of chips “Eat what you have first Kaylee bear” Gwen told her Little, Kaylee rolled her eyes and shoveled more food into her mouth “I’m sure you still have room left for that snack” said Wendy taking one of my chips and popping it into her mouth “If I eat any more I think it’ll be forced out somewhere else” I heard my own words and could not believe what I had just said, Rose chuckled “Maybe you should I noticed you didn't do your business this morning” I felt the red warmth reach my cheeks, something that hasn't happened for a while now “Can we not talk about my bathroom habits while eating” I said trying to keep my voice quite “Alright we wont talk about when you fill your diapers” smirked Rose “Child” I retorted and gave her a light punch on the arm. While my diaper didn't need changing yet the other two weren't as lucky “Will you two be alright if I take Emy to see an exhibit just the two of us?” asked Rose “Sure we have two Littles to change” answered Wendy “We can meet you at the next stop” added Gwen “Thanks” Rose waved to the others as they left for I assumed the Little change room and took my hand “This next sight I wanted to be just the two of us” said Rose as we started to walk off “What is it?” I asked now curious “You will see soon” said Rose smiling down at me. It's a good thing that Rose knew where we were going because if I would have walked straight past the next animals we came to see and with only one other Amazon and Little looking made me wonder if it even housed some animal “Are those…” I looked through the glass and saw small creatures scurrying around while others were standing tall on guard “MEERKATS!!!” I shouted and broke free from Roses grasp to run to the glass, the meerkats scattered as I reached the glass but this didn't bother me, I was ecstatic, beyond ecstatic, there just simply wasn't a word big enough to describe how happy I was to finally see meerkats in person “Were you surprised?” Rose asked knowingly “Most definitely” I didn't take my eyes off the meerkats as they slowly came out of their hidey holes, Rose was kind enough to just let me watch the small creatures in silence and I was grateful. As the excitement started to die down it occured to me that I had been trying to avoid acting like a child the whole time I had been with Rose but this brought it out of me naturally and with no acting required, it was sheer joy that I could not contain and Rose had seen “They are just so cool” I said as if Rose had been reading my mind, my voice still full of excitement “I can see why you like them” replied Rose in an equally happy voice, unlike almost every animal I had seen here today so far these meerkats had not changed in size, they remained standing a foot tall, if they had turned Amazon sized I don't think I could love them as much but just looking at them now, unchanged it was great. Squatting down I placed my hand on the glass and to my delight one of the nearby Meerkats spotted it and tentatively came closer “Rose, look look” I near squealed with joy, one of the things I most wanted to do some day was coming closer to my hand, closer, ever closer, then it happened, the meerkat placed a paw up to my own on the other side of the glass, we were separated by meer inches “Thank you” I mouthed to the meerkat, he cocked his head clearly not understanding what I was saying but that was ok I like to think he got the meaning all the same, as one of the meerkats fellows made a sound my now favorite meerkat scurried off back to the pack, I was sad to see him go but I was still happier than I had been in a very long time. I got about another ten minutes before familiar voices greeted us “Oooh look at the rats” I turned to see Kaylee and Abby running to join me at the glass “They are meerkats” I said correcting them “Really? Well they look funny” said Kaylee pressing her nose to the glass to get a better look, I proceeded to telling the two of them everything I knew about these adorable creatures and was vaguely aware that the Amazons were talking to each other in the background. What a surprise Rose was right at the beginning of the day when she said I would get tired, with all the walking and food I ended up back in the stroller and found myself nodding off here and there not completely sure where I was dreaming or seeing the real world with some of the stranger animals that were present in the zoo “How much longer do you think she will be asleep?” I heard the distant voice of Gwen ask in my foggy mind “I hope not much longer, it's almost time for the last surprise” came Roses reply, I opened my eyes to the sun just starting to touch the large buildings “We could always help things along” came Wendys voice “No let's let them sleep for a bit longer” Rose said, I could see her and the other Amazons from the side and realised that the stroller wasn't facing them nor away, it was side on to the Amazons “No need…” I said with a stretch “Look whos awake” said Rose now beaming at me and turned the stroller so I could see everyone better, I was greeted to the strangest sight, both Abby and Kaylee were asleep in their Amazons arms “I guess I got the more comfortable sleeping area” I said in a now whisper, Rose put on a mock hurt look “And how do you know I’m not more comfortable?” I rubbed my eyes then grinned at her “I guess I don't” I replied simply “I think we had better compare” said Rose and she bent down to unbuckle me from the stroller, in moments I was scooped up and resting in Roses strong arms “This is warmer” I said making myself comfortable, Rose chuckled and we waited for another couple of minutes. “Kaylee…” “Abby…” “It's time to wake up” “Waky, waky” said the gentle voices of both Gwen and Wendy to their Littles, it was funny to watch both of them slowly come back to consciousness and realise what was going on “Is it time?” asked a sleepy Kaylee “It is Kaylee bear” Kaylee went from the look of wondering where she was to fully awake in less than a second “YEY!” she cheered and was bounding onto the ground ready to run once again. The six of us walked yes walked towards the spot that I remembered the random Amazon telling Rose about during my diaper change, the lights of the zoo turned on and I was starting to wonder how a certain area could make for a better photo at night than in the day when I saw it, just up ahead was an old time looking caracel just like I remembered from my younger days back home when the town had a festival, the lights hanging around the interior made every polished surface shine like many winking stars “That's beautiful” I said in a whisper, Kaylee giggled “We saw this before remember?” “Emy was asleep” cherped Abby “Oh right” she shrugged and continued walking to the small group of people lining up, Rose gave me a light nudge breaking me out of my trance and getting me moving towards the line. The line moved very quickly and in no time at all we made our way onto the carousel “Which horse do you like?” asked Rose, I had been watching the various horses and had not found a single repeated design and in that I did find one that I liked over the others “This way” I said and lead Rose over to the least ornately decorated horse, to me it was beautiful in its simplicity like finding a diamond among stones “Upsy daisy” said Rose as she lifted me up on the horse, I took hold of the leather rains and placed my feet in the fixed stirrups then smiled to myself as pleasant memories of a time I had done this exact thing with my mother when I was younger “Smile” said Rose, I looked in front of me to see Rose holding out her phone for a selfie of us, I smiled and heard the click of her camera going off “Lovely” said Rose and she showed me the picture of the two of us, I nodded and smiled. It didn't take long for the Amazons to get the Littles on a horse or seat then the music started back up and we were on the move, as my horse started to move up and down Rose tightened her grip on me slightly. I loved it all, the music, the movements and the lighting all came together perfectly and sent into euphoria, I closed my eyes and felt the motion “Rose if every day was like this I could see myself wanting to stay” I whispered, Rose heard me “I promise to make every day I can as good as this” she finished and kissed the top of my head before my horse rose once more.

Well I have internet access and some free time to post. @Jayme I highly recommend you do go see Japan some day just from what I have seen so far it is really cool and I only know a hand fully of Japanese phrases thanks to anime and still have no problem getting food and transportation @SGTbaby Thanks to the lovely couple we stayed with last night I think I do have an idea for a short story I would love to tell after this one ? @treasuresman Lol I'm not much of a sports fan and have planned most of my trip around staying away from where ever the Rugby Cup is being played but they have sooooo much merch here there and every where now time for that update *** Part 23 Off to the Zoo Another day, another wet diaper, I rolled over doing this just confirmed my thoughts and I wondered if I would ever stop wetting the bed in this world after all I didn't even remember wetting my bed as a child, I’m sure it happened but I don't remember it “Are you wet?” came a whispering voice, I looked over the edge of the bed and just managed to make out the face of Abby looking back at me, I briefly considered not replying and just pretending that I was still asleep but if I could see her then I’m sure she could see me too “Yes” I whispered back, not sure why she was asking “I don't remember the last time I had a dry night” I remained silent not sure what to say to a statement like that “Do you remember the last time you had a dry night?” she asked in her whispered voice “I do” I said thinking back to those glorious mornings that I would wake up and didn't have what felt like a liter of liquid wrapped around my legs, but I guess for the next two and a bit months this was my new mornings “If it bothers you talk to Wendy” I whispered to her “It's not that, I was just wondering what it would be like to not wake up in a wet diaper that mommy takes care of” I rolled my eyes but continued to watch her for a few more seconds “Is Kaylee awake yet?” I asked “Not that I know of” that was odd, I always expected her to be one of the first ones to be awake “I’ll wake her up for you” the words left Abby's lips and in the time it took for my brain to register it she had poked the then still form of Kaylee “No wa…” “I’m up” from sleep to bolt upright sprang Kaylee, she looked around the room a couple of times before asking “Where am I?” yea she wasn't fully awake that much was clear “Your at aunty Rose’s house” whispered Abby “Oh” replied Kaylee rubbing her eyes and not even trying to keep her voice down “Wheres mommy?” Asked Kaylee looking around again “In another room probably still sleeping” I answered in a whisper, hoping that she would take the hint that she still had to be quite, no such luck “I’m hungry” she said in her regular voice and proceeded to stand up “I’ll send mommy in to change us” Abby and I both got out of bed and tried to stop her but Kaylee was out the door in seconds. “Kaylee get back here” I stage shouted as I followed her through the hall “But I’m hungry” she answered and continued to waddle down the hall, after waking Rose up yesterday I didn't really want to do that this morning, I looked in front of Kaylee and saw that both the kitchen and living room lights were on then heard the soft voice of Gwen “Where did I…” she didn't get to finish as Kaylee called out “MOMMY I’M HUNGRY” well I suppose if Gwen was awake then there was a good bet that Rose and Wen were too “Kaylee bear what are you doing up” asked Gwen now poking her head around the corner of the door way “Looks like all three of you are up early” said Gwen shaking her head “The Littles are up” called Gwen, shortly after Rose and Wendy could be seen in the doorway of the kitchen “It's a weekend, we thought you would sleep in” said Rose with a smile “I’m hungry” said Kaylee again still seeming to care less that she might have woken everyone up, she walked over to Gwen and was promptly picked up into the Amazons arms “I think you need a change first Kaylee bear” said Gwen patting Kaylees diapered behind “No, food first” said Kaylee grumpily “Kaylee remember what happened last night when you didn't listen” Kaylee shrunk down and seemed to relent “Ok mommy” “Rose you right if I change Kaylee in your room?” asked Gwen “Sure” replied Rose “OK while we wait for Kaylee, lets gets some food” said Wendy bending down to our level, I smiled, Abby cheered and all of us heard a grown from Kaylee as she was carried out of the hallway. Of course Kaylee was not the last one to get a diaper change, far from it, Abby was second then of course I went with Rose “What is that?” I asked Rose as she raised the days new diaper to my eye level, I was sure that I must be seeing things “It's your new diaper” replied Rose sounding confused “I can see that, why does it have animals on it?” I asked frowning at it “Wasn't that some kind of punishment for yesterday?” Rose chuckled “It was… but I just thought this too appropriate for today to pass up” “You are a cruel woman” I said deadpan “I love you too” she said with a smile and proceeded to get me ready for the day. Bellies full courtesy of the Amazons and bags packed for a long day the car was loaded then one by one Kaylee, Abby and myself were strapped into the three car seat now in the back of Roses car “How is everyone going to fit?” I asked as Rose was strapping me in “There isn't enough seats” just like in my dimension the car only had the two seats up front and the back seat that was now full with the three of us Littles “Don't you worry about that” said Rose with a quick tussle of my hair and closed the door, I grumbled for a bit to the giggles of my fellow captives. It turned out that Rose and Wendy were in the car with us while Gwen was taking her own, in my opinion this was good for two reasons, first that having Wendy in this car prevented Abby from going into a meltdown about being apart from each other and secondly it gave Rose and Wendy a good chance to talk, it felt kind of strange listening to them, almost like I was looking through their house while they weren't there and of course this didn't bother the other two as they were playing some electronic game with each other that I had declined to join so I could get a better look at the world I had found myself in and listen to the Amazons talk. “Finally” said Kaylee stretching as she was let out of the car seat “That trip took forever” added Abby “It was only forty minutes or so” I said and stretched myself “Well it doesn't matter we are here now” said Rose still collecting things from the boot of the car “YEY!” cheered Kaylee and was about to run off but came to a stop as Gwen clipped the strap to Kaylees harness, Kaylee looked around and saw she was now on the leash so to speak and groaned “Mommy I want to run around” “I don't think so Kaylee bear we don't need you getting lost and mistaken for one of the animals” Kaylee giggled “That wouldn't happen” “I don't know about that…” Gwen kneeled down and started to tickle her Little “Your just like a monkey aren't you” Kaylee was laughing too hard to reply with anything coherent, Abby joined in on the laughter and was none the wiser as Wendy attached her leash to Abby's harness. “Why do I have to be in this?” I asked as we were walking to the entrance of the zoo, I was the only one that was forced to ride in a stroller “It's just incase you get tired” answered Rose from behind me “I won't get tired” I said trying to weasel my way out of not having free reign “I’m sure you won't, don't worry you won't be in there all day” this quited me down some as I had thought that I would have to be pushed around everywhere “I’m sure these two will need a rest from time to time so it's not just for you” added Wendy, Abby and Kaylee both turned back and in unison said “We will not” the Amazons chuckled and the six of us joined the line to enter the zoo. “Hello, can we get tickets for three Amazons and three Littles” said Wendy to the Amazon man at the ticket counter “Sure thing” he replied, Wendy waved her hand over the desk and the gate opened allowing us entry, I am really going to have to ask Rose if Amazons use money. We entered to the semi large crowd of Littles and Amazons going about the various storefronts and information booths “Where should we go first?” asked Rose, Abby and Kaylee shouted there answers over top of each other “ELEPHANTS” “TIGERS” “How about we just take the first path” suggested Wendy “Good idea, then we won't miss anything” added Gwen, both of my fellow Littles groaned as we started to walk to the first of six forking paths and saw the sign read “This way too monkeys, birds and the lepidopterarium” I looked at the sign as I was wheeled passed and had to ask “What's a lep… i… dop… terarium?” Rose was quick to answer my question “A lepidopterarium is a place where they keep butterflies meerkat” “Oh” hearing the word said aloud I knew what the word ment but I just couldn't spell out the word in time. Kaylee and Abby ran back and forth in front of me to all the displays and painting meant for kids and I assumed Littles “Hes soooo cool” said Abby looking up at the plastic gorilla that Littles were crowding around so their Amazons could take pictures “Can we, can we mommy” said Kaylee nearly jumping up and down as she tugged on Gwen's pants leg “Ok Kaylee bear” smiled Gwen and the six of us waited in line for three minutes to get to the front and have our picture taken by the park employee “Ok great, did you want individual pictures?” asked the woman, Kaylee and Abby were already starting to run off at this point so Gwen and Wendy declined but Rose took the woman up on the offer and quickly took me out of the stroller and we stood together, her kneeling down to hold me by the gorilla that was bigger than I was “Ok here we go” said the woman and Rose held me tighter, the click went off for a second time and I knew that the picture was done, Rose moved us aside and returned me to the stroller but before catching up with the others Rose handed me her phone “What do you think?” asked Rose, I looked at the picture of the two of us, Rose with her bright warm smile and me with clearly half assing the smile, Rose looked like she truly enjoyed being here but my lack of enjoyment must have been obvious to her “It looks good” I lied and handed the phone back to Rose “I think she took the photo before you were ready” chuckled Rose and we were off to join the others, did Rose truly believe that or was she just giving me an out? I didn't know the answer but I resolved to try and be more happy today for her. The actual gorilla enclosure wasn't that far down the track, we found the other four already looking into the glassed off enclosure with Abby and Kaylee with their noses to the glass “Look look he's coming closer” said an excited Little I didn't know “Rose can we get closer?” I asked wanting a better look “Sure we can” Rose rounded the stroller and removed me allowing me to join Abby and Kaylee at the glass to see the much larger than I was used to gorilla walking around the enclosure almost like he was greeting everyone, I smiled to myself at the thought “I think he's showing off for you” said Rose as the closest gorilla started to thump his chest “Cool” I smiled. Seeing the animals was more interesting than I thought it was going to be, we had made our way through all the different types of monkeys and quite a few birds but it was the butterfly house that really captured my imagination. We entered the building and immediately felt the warmth of the place wash over us, moments later as we could see through the curtain that covered the doors we saw butterflies flee in every direction “Wow” “Soooo pretty” I couldn't help but agree with Abby and Kaylee “What do you think Emy?” asked Rose “Quite beautiful” I replied with all honesty and watched the butterflies flutter around slowly getting accustomed to our presence. Abby and Kaylee ran through the weaving concrete paths chasing away the butterflies resting near their path, from my seat in the stroller it was like watching multiple waves of the creatures show us exactly where the two Littles were if their giggling wasn't enough of a give away. As I was looking at one particularly beautiful butterfly I felt someone softly poke my arm, I turned to see Rose smiling at me and sucking one of her fingers but offering no explanation as to why she poked me. A couple of minutes after walking through the place one of the more colourful butterflies came fluttering right up to me and landed on my arm, I blinked in confusion, not a single one had even come close to anyone inside the butterfly house apart from when someone managed to sneak up on one “You must have something good on you” said Wendy, the other two Amazons turned to look at me too “That is sooo cute” said Gwen and all three Amazons took out their phones to take pictures of my stunned face and the colourful butterfly, it didn't take long for me to work out what happened and I smiled for the last of the pictures “Mommy, mommy what about me?” asked Kaylee pulling on Gwen's pants leg “Are you missing out Kaylee bear” chuckled Gwen and she started to take pictures of Kaylee going up to butterflies. I was smiling as we left the butterfly house, my friend had stayed with me through the entire walk through till we got to the exit where the attendant sadly had to remove him but offered me a toy version in exchange which of course made Kaylee jealous so she and Abby got one too. As Rose and the other Amazons were reading the signs for the next set of paths it occured to me why the butterfly stayed with me and no one else, when Rose poked me she must have had something sweet on her finger, I smiled to myself as I thought how it was like a magic trick she had played on me, it was magical too begin with seeing the butterfly choose to land on me and knowing how Rose did it didn't take any of the magic away “What are you thinking about Meerkat?” came Roses voice, I looked around and noticed we were on the move again “I was thinking about all the butterflies” I said with a smile even though Rose couldn't see me through the stroller “They were very beautiful weren't they” “Very” I echoed “And you must be sweet because you even made a friend” I wanted to tell Rose that I knew what she had done but simply said “It was like magic” and smiled to myself once again. “Pleeeeeeeese” whined Kaylee “You are too little” replied Gwen “But I want to pet the elephant” she whined again, I had to admit that even I was curious as to how an elephants skin felt “Excuse me miss…” all heads looked over to the Zoo employee “We have a petting area just for Littles” the sheer joy that came over Kaylee's face was priceless, there was an area for Amazon children to get up close and personal with the younger elephants but of course Kaylee, Abby and myself were to short for this “I’m afraid this does cost extra though” Kaylees face dropped and she gave Gwen the biggest puppy dog eyes I had ever seen “Mmm… I don't know Kaylee bear…” said Gwen as if there was some doubt that she would deny her Little this heartfelt desire “Ok then” said Gwen and Kaylee started jumping with joy, Gwen started to talk with the employee and I leaned out of the stroller to get Roses attention “Rose could I… you know…” Rose leaned closer to me with her trademark smile “Do you want to go too?” I nodded meekly. We had to wait ten minutes before myself and four other Littles were aloud into a closed off section, holding each of our hands was an Amazon at the employee's request or there was no getting in, I held Roses hand tightly as we walked through the door to see another three zoo employees standing around two baby elephants, each not much bigger than I was “Welcome Littles and carers, I am Johno and this is Lin and Henry…” said one of the Amazons patting the closest elephant “They are both eight months old so I’m sure that some of you Littles are older than they are” the Amazon carers chuckled including Rose “Now parents I want you to keep a good eye on your Little because Lin and Henry are still young and don't fully know their own strength” the elephant must have liked his pats because the moment Jono stopped his trunk started to pull on Jonos shirt “With that said your welcome to come meet Lin and Henry, if anyone has any questions at all we…” he gestured to himself and his fellow workers “Would be more than happy to answer them” the two Littles that I didn't know hesitantly walked upto the baby elephants while both Abby and Kaylee were pulling at their Amazons hands to get there first, I looked up at Rose and with a smile and a quick squeeze of my hand we too went over to meet the elephants. It was finally my turn to swap places with Kaylee so I was now walking while Kaylee was trying to free herself from the stroller “This SUCKS!” cried Kaylee “Kaylee” Gwen shot Kaylee the look that let the Little know she had said the wrong thing, I smirked to myself, the stroller did suck “Looks like up next is…” Rose looked at the sign up ahead in the road “Oh no… reptiles” I looked up at Rose and saw that she was clearly nervous “Are you afraid of snakes?” I asked her “No…” she replied shakaly “I… just don't like them is all” I nodded showing I totally believe her lie one hundred percent, that was sarcasm. As we walked up to the entrance of the fake cave that housed the reptiles Rose seemed to freeze “You know you don't have to come in” I said as I looked back to see her frozen form “I have to be there incase you get scared” I heard Rose say in an almost whisper “It's ok everyone is afraid of something, besides I’m sure Gwen and Wendy can look after me” in the back of my head I heard myself say these words and laugh at the complete ridiculousness of them and at how much I would have thrown a fit at the idea I needed someone to hold my hand for something like this just a week or two ago “Right?” I asked turning to the two other Amazons “Exactly” replied Gwen with her smile, Rose looked at Gwen and gave her a shaky smile “Thanks Gwen that would be great” Wendy walked over to Rose and put an arm around her “I think I’ll stay here with Rose if you don't mind taking Abby too” said Wendy, Gwen agreed and Abby and I followed Gwen pushing the stroller with Kaylee inside, I looked back just before rounding the corner to see Wendy still comforting Rose. “LIZARDS!!” squealed a random Little, I had to cover my ears because of her high pitch, thankfully her Amazon quited her down by forcing a pacifier into her mouth, the sight reminded me that Rose had not forced one of those in my mouth for some time thankfully, it also turned my mind back to Rose and I wondered how she was doing. The tanks up ahead had a large crowd of Amazons and Littles around them “Mommy can we go see?” asked Kaylee still trying to force herself higher to get a better look “Ok, Abby, Emy stay close to me please” said Gwen, the two of us got closer to the stroller and went into see what the crowd was watching. One of the Zoo employees was showing Littles all the different types of lizards he had in the small tank with him, occasionally letting the odd Little touch the Lizard he was explaining at the time, it didn't take long for us to have other Littles and Amazons surround us making it the perfect cover for me to escape and check on Rose “I’m going for a closer look” I said and without waiting for a reply from Gwen I pushed my way through the crowd of Littles “Emy don't…” I didn't manage to hear the rest of what she was going to say because of the amplified voice of the Zoo employee, I bobbed and weaved my way to the front then off to the side and doubled back behind Gwen who was frantically looking over the heads of the Littles looking for me, I did feel bad for doing this to her but something just told me that I had to go see Rose right now besides if I’m quick I might be able to be back in time to hide myself back in the crowd with Gwen none the wiser. I exited the cave and sneaked around the wall to find Rose and Wendy talking, at the distance I was from them it was hard to hear so I sneaked over to a bush closer to them “...You know I didn't move to this city for my job, it was for you” said Wen looking into Roses eyes, Rose let out a little sigh and replied “I know and I’m sorry for that…” Wen placed a finger on Roses mouth to silence her “I don't care what happens, I love you and I want to be with you” I could not believe what I was hearing, my movie conditioned mind knew what was coming next and reality didn't disappoint, Wendy leaned in and kissed Rose full on the lips with the kiss lasting both seconds and an eternity for me “We will handle this together” said Wendy as she broke off the kiss, Rose was about to say something but I didn't get to hear what it was because an Amazon sized hand touched my shoulder “Hey there Little one are you lost?” I turned to see a female Amazon wearing a security guards uniform “No I…” “It's ok your not in trouble, let me just check who your carer is” the woman pulled out something that resembled a smartphone, with the grip she had on my shoulder I didn't think I was going anywhere, the Amazon started to move the device behind me when the both of us heard a shout then running footsteps “EMY!” Rose and Wendy came running to us and Rose threw her arms around me forcing the security woman to let go of me “Is this your Little miss?” asked the guard, I looked at Roses face and knew her well enough to know she wasn't just scared she was terrified for some reason “Rose whats…” I started to ask “Yes officer this Little belongs to Rose here” said Wen “I just need to check your registration to confirm” Rose squeezed me tighter and there was a clear hesitation before Wendy answered “I’m sorry mam we don't have the card with us” replied Wendy “That's not a problem, I’ll just scan the Littles ID tag and you can show me your ident card” said the officer “The reason we don't have the registration is because we were robbed last week and are in the process of replacing all our cards but if you need proof that this Little belongs to my friend shouldn't the fact that she said my friends name suggest that they at least know each other” there was another pause as the officer was clearly thinking and I could feel Rose holding her breath “Alright then I guess because she did know her name I’ll take your word for it but be sure to get your cards replaced asap” “Will do officer and thank you” there was a massive exhale of breath from Rose as I heard the footsteps of the officer recede, while Rose was still hugging me tight I said “Ok what the hell was that?”
