[No no no. Absolutely not! Mia has absolutely no idea how she ended up this young - for crying out loud, she looks 15! - and she kinda. Wants her body back, if only because she's too used to be taken seriously. To make matters even worse, she even found herself in her old Fey clothes too. (What was this, a weird blast from the past?)

As she stares at her reflection, Mia can't help pressing her lips and moving her arms in circles. If she's really a child again... then this is Time Compression's fault, isn't it? And she thought she'd been so good at avoiding weird events until now too.]

... You've got to be kidding me. How long's this going to last this time?

Mia!

[Bam! Bam! That's the sound of a kid with l'cie strength pounding on her door]

Miiiiiiiiiaaaaaaa! Come onnnnnnnnnnnn!! We have to get to the cafeteria before they run out of hot dogs!

[Bam! Bam!] Come ooooon!

[.... sob. Why does he do this to her? Mia flails for 8.5 seconds before slowly, reluctantly opening the door and greeting Snow with a slight smile.]

I'm here--- Whoa. You make a cute kid.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

'Bout time. You coming? After we eat I wanna show you this great thing I found in the training center!

[Li'l Snow is almost bouncing with energy. Clumsy energy. He whacks the door with a shoulder on a particularly vigorous bounce]

I'm coming, I'll - be careful! [she even winces at the door whack] - go ahead and grab my things.

[hurries back in, gets her purse, and then closes the door behind them] ... What "great thing?" I hope it's not dangerous.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Naw, you'll be with me! [He throws out his chest, then thumps a fist against it, confident as can be]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[She can't help laughing a little at that] ... [oh god, he's dead serious about this.] Oohkay then.

[Erk! Mia tries to sidestep Colette, but it's in vain. BAM! Before either of them know it, Mia's on the floor.] A-are you all right...?

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Oh my-! I am so so so sorry! Are you okay? Did I hurt you?

[]

Yes, I'm fine, thank you. But I'm so sorry!

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, I promise! [to prove her point, she leaps up to her feet and dusts herself off.] See? You don't have to apologize.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

But... I could have hurt you... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been running around like that.

[Confused slightly lost boy of about 9 peers up at her.]

This happened before?

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. [Mia bites her lip] The Time Compression here works in strange and mysterious ways.

[chibifirebird.livejournal.com]

Sounds frustrating. [GIANT SIGH.]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[nods in agreement] ... I kinda don't like being a little girl again. Even if it IS kind of nice, since it's also the holiday season.

[chibifirebird.livejournal.com]

[Hangs his head.]

Sorry, eh. I just wish I could find my old man.

[whiplashings.livejournal.com]

How long is what going to last?

[Have a ten year old Quistis, who at her age had just enrolled into Garden; she doesn't seem to have any memories of the years that have followed. Her blue eyes are wide and curious as the looks up at the older girl-- oh, she's pretty!]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

The Time Compression. [offers a smile as she brushes back her bangs. Even if this kid looks somewhat familiar, Mia's still going to act polite.] It's this... magical energy that causes strange things to happen. Like now, it makes some people little kids again.

Time Compression... [There's a look of concentration on her face, as the term sounds familiar for some reason... but she can't exactly figure out why. But her expression quickly changes to mild shock, before she gives a small curtsy to the older girl.]

Sorry I didn't introduce myself! I'm Quistis Trepe.

it's completely fine! <3

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[! This pings Mia, since she's definitely heard that name before... just associated with someone older. Weird. Maybe it got to her too?] ... I'm Mia Fey. It's very nice to meet you, Quistis. Are you a new Cadet here?

[timesync.livejournal.com]

[Here comes Silver, confused at people suddenly being at almost eye level. He's walking down the hallway looking at people with a strange expression.]

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

[Mia turns around and glances at Silver.] ... Are you alright?

[timesync.livejournal.com]

[ Blinks, at attention all of a sudden. ]

Yeah. It just seems really different since I got here. Everyone looks a lot..uh..

[turnaboutmentor.livejournal.com]

"Smaller?" [she shrugs sheepishly] I think the Time Compression's at work again... I know I'm certainly not supposed to be fifteen.

[timesync.livejournal.com]

Sure seems like Time Compression is responsible for a lot around here--A lot of weird stuff. [He pauses.] ..Not there's anything wrong with being that age or anything. [Said the 14-year-old.]
