"They're like thorns some plants have. And they serve as an extra protection, just like your mother said"
"I think so too. But I better fetch Jabir to confirm it. I don't have the proper tools for that task"
"It will be only a minute" she went out of the infirmary. A little while later Jabir came along as well

Now that made sense too, rubbing her bottom she looked about the infirmary, this was a place she had never seen before.. or had she? She was far too young to remember, but the warm feeling of being safe within these rooms were ever present.
Catherine smiled resting her head on her arms, tickling Aphrodite's belly. "Don't worry Jabir will help make it go away, kay?"
Aphrodite giggled, turning to her mother. She ran across the table and hugged her nose. "Promise Mama?"
"Promise." She blinked noticing Jabir entering the room, she waved a bit.

"Hello" he waved back and nodded "It's been a long time since I last saw you Aphrodite, at the picnic if I remember correctly. But let's see what's wrong with you"
He kneeled on the ground and lowered his neck next to where Aph was, his blank gaze fully focused on her

she flew over to Jabir, blinked, her gaze tranfixed on him. Wow.. he looked familiar. Shaking her head she took asigh and pointed back to where she had pointed only moments befor.e "My butt hurts."
Catherine stiffled a small laugh, how simple she could be it was so cute. "There's a chance her stingers are comming in." Catherine explained.

"They are... it's the muscles starting to work. They're not accustomed to production yet" He got up, but not to full height

" Is there anything you can do?" Catherine sat up a bit looking up at Jabir. "...At least to make her pain go away."
Aphrodite wiggled back and forth, whining a bit. Boy did her butt hurt.

"Yes. I have an oilment that will do just the trick. But I'll need Jabir's help to apply it correctly, since Aphy can't reach it and neither of us have the... precision required"
Jabir nodded in response "Alright, but I'll need Aphrodite to stay still at all times. It won't take long"

Catherine nodded a bit, digging into her bookbag she took out a small baby bottle filled with fruit nectar and gave it to Aphrodite. "Here, drinking this to keep yourself occupied while Jabir makes your wasp bottom better... now keep still ok?"
"Ok Mama..." She happily took the baby bottle, happy it wasn't a cup.. stupid cups. Turning her back to Jabir she stood as still as a toddler could, drinking happily humming a tune as she did.

Maggie brought the oilment and put it next to Aph. She knew Jabir's technique well enough to know what to do
He willed the a small portion of the oilment to leave it's bottle and make its way towards the little wasp butt. Concentrating he split it in two, one larger to cover the affected area on the outside and a much smaller one that entered the small cavity and made its way to the organ itself
"Done. We just have to wait until it starts to make effect. It won't take long"

Catherine's eyes went wide at the sight, she began to feel a little light head. Shaking her head she continued to remind herself that Jabir knew what he was doing.. Jabir knows what he's doing.. I think he knows what he's doing...
Aphrodite blinked, boy did that feel weird.. and a bit painful, biting down on therubber of the bottle she closed her eyes, trying to put her attention esle where... which didn't work, but as soon as it was over the pain soon began to dull and then faded away. She smiled turning her head to look at her wasp butt. "Pain gone!" She squeeked.

But as soon as she said that a new feeling invade her. It was like a lil spark of... what? Power? Energy? No, something more like an electrical current going trough her whole body
It didn't hurt but made her body feel a bit numb. Until a new, different wave hit her and triggered a reaction. All the previoulsy numb cells were now filled with energy, making her feel a bit hyper
But the sensation faded and she returned back to normal. Although it wasn't the same noraml as a few seconds ago
The first thing she noticed were her wings. She had flaped them absentmindedly but the sensation was totally new. They felt more... free! Motioning them again she realised she could move each in a different direction, rotate them and even switching places between the larger and smaller one of the same set
The next thing she saw as was wasp butt. It didn't change much but she could defenatly see the stinger coming out of it
As she moved her hand to touch it, she realised the black pattern had changed a bit. The same had happened to the one in her feet. And as she looked better she saw her limbs were now longer
The last thing she noticed were her antenna. They were much longer and not as curly. And apparently she could pick a few vibrations in the air with them

"Congratulations Aphy" Maggie smiled
"Indeed. A fine growth" Jabir nodded

A small flying origami entered trough the open door. It was mantis shaped and kept flying around Aphrodite until someone grabbed it It read Flying Note We are very pleased to know you reached the child stage. This will be a very important phase of your life as you will soon find out Please report to the infirmary for a check up and discover your elemental alignment Signed, - The Mishap Staff

Aphrodite gasped looking down at herself, she was.. taller... way taller than she was before. Staring at her hand, the other tightly gripping the bottle she was brinking out of. she didn't care if she was older now, she wasn't giving up the bottle not even if she was paid to.
The light headed feeling fad, Catherine was filled with joy. "Oh gods! Aphrodite! You've grown, I'm so happy!" She grined, her cheeks as pink as her daughter's hair.
She twirled on the tip of her toe, smiling. "Thank you Jabir and Ms. Maggie." She bowed, and then daintedly ran over to mother. "Can Al come out too?" She smiled up at her mother, who was still very tall compared to her.
Catherine nodded, pulling out the grey plushie from her bag she blinked watching the mantis origami fly around. She caught it and began to read.
She hugged her dear friend. "I grew!"
'I can see!' He said telepathically.

"You're welcome"
"I'll go get things ready" he got up and went out of the room. He already knew what the flying origami meant
"I think it's time we do the check up" she picked a stethoscope with an abnormally small end, perfect for cases like Aph
