Chapter Description: Miranda meets some new friends wearing strange watches.

---

Miranda felt great this morning. And it wasn’t just because Ella had given her a "special diaper change." For the first time in days, it didn’t feel like some unknown thing that she couldn’t put her finger on was out of place. She was just comfortable again.

Ella put away the Hitachi Magic Wand and taped the baby up. "Is baby Miranda ready for her num nums?"

"Yeah!"

Ella sat herself on the bed and patted her lap. Miranda excitedly laid down across it. As usual, Ella pulled out a breast and lifted her roommate’s mouth to it. "Moo!" she said happily as Miranda began to suckle. Miranda of course learned when to use her tongue or lightly nibble to show the cow her appreciation. She just hoped the mooing wasn’t loud enough to wake up their neighbors. Soon, Miranda was full, and Ella was empty and satisfied.

"Fank you," Miranda said.

"I think I should be thanking you after that," Ella said with a smile. "Do you want me to help you get dressed?" Miranda shook her head no, so Ella checked her phone. "It looks warm enough. Just don’t forget your diaper bag when you go."

"Kay." Miranda picked up her diaper bag, said goodbye to her roommate and stuffed animals, and headed out for the day. She was pretty sure she didn’t have class for a while, but she was too little to keep track of that accurately. Luckily the school had an app to alert her when it was time to go to one, so as long as she listened for that, she didn’t have to worry about anything.

She didn’t have anything in particular in mind to do, so she just walked toward the center of campus to see if anything caught her eye. She chased some birds, ran into a really pretty catgirl who let Miranda pet her before she headed off to class, and a weird looking rock she put in her bag, but what really caught her eye was a pair of girls. One was a baby in a diaper and baby blue T-shirt. The other was a catgirl in a maid outfit, her tail fashionably pushing up the back of her skirt to reveal her panties. But what really got Miranda’s attention were their watches. The baby’s looked just like the one that guy was wearing yesterday, and the maid had a similar looking but smaller one. They seemed to be in a conversation, and Miranda inched over to listen.

"But why are we girls?" the catgirl asked.

"Because they’re all lesbians," the baby responded. "You do want to get laid, right?"

"Well yes, but why didn’t you just make them all bisexual or something?"

The baby shrugged. "This sounded hotter. Besides, haven’t you ever been a little curious?"

"God damn it, Sean."

"Dude, I can change us back when we get back to my place. And as long as you keep the remote stabilizer on and stay within 100 yards of the master," she said, pointing to her bracelet, "your memories and knowledge won’t change, so you’ll be just fine."

The catgirl sighed. "Next time you ask someone if they want to try out one of your crazy inventions, please tell them everything it’s going to do, OK? There are plenty of people who’d take it a lot worse than me."

"I guess, but I still don’t think it’s a big..." the baby looked uneasy as she finally noticed Miranda.

"Hello!" Miranda said with a wave.

The catgirl turned startled, but the baby responded. "Uh, hi!"

"Are you guys fighting about your toys?"

"Kind of," the baby responded, "but I think we’ve resolved it."

Miranda looked concerned at the catgirl, who was just silently staring in shock at Miranda’s bare chest. "Are you OK? Would it help if I petted you?"

"I...um...I guess you can if you want to." The catgirl bent down a little, and Miranda happily pet her on the head. The catgirl started purring, looked startled, then calmed down a little and started purring again.

"Better?"

"That was nice..." she stood up and noticed how her friend was looking at her smugly. The catgirl gave her the stink eye.

"I’m Miranda. What are your names?"

"I’m Shawna," the baby replied.

"I’m, I don’t fucking know, Jane."

"Do you guys wanna be friends?" Miranda asked excitedly.

"Sure!" Shawna replied.

"I..." Jane looked at Miranda’s mostly naked body again. "Yes."

"Yay!" Miranda jumped up and down a few times, clapping. "What do you wanna do?"

"Why don’t you show us around?" Shawna said. "Jane’s never been here before."

"Kay!" She looked around, then marched intently to the nearby campus center. Dis is where dey got clubs and stuff and a store."

There was a directory on the wall, and Shawna took a look at it. "Panty Collectors’ Club."

Jane joined her and began looking it over herself. "Porn Watching Club."

"And there’s a Porn Making Club."

Jane looked through directory more. "Daycare club?"

"Oh I do dat one," Miranda said. "Babies go dere when dey don’ want sponserbilleries. Da grown up members just do everyfing for us."

"Huh," Shawna said. "I might have to try that out later."

The two girls looked the list over a little more, but none of the other names seemed to stand out to them, so Miranda decided to show them the store. "Dis is where we go for diapers and crayons and snacks and stuff."

Miranda followed the girls around as they explored. For some reason, they both seemed rather interested in the lingerie section. Miranda had no idea what Shawna would do with any of that. They seemed to have no interest in the snacks or school supplies, nor the children’s toys, but they stopped again at the more adult toys. The two girls just stared at them, seemingly interested, but not quite wanting to interact with them.

"Do you girls, like, need help?" one of the store’s workers said. She had long blonde hair and her large bosom was nearly bursting the one button holding her shirt closed. The two girls Miranda brought just silently looked at her. "I can try one out with you," she said, motioning to a door in the back that had a picture of a bed on it.

"Like, you mean you and me would...um..."

"Fuck? Yeah, you gotta make sure this stuff works for you, right?"

Shawna and Jane looked at each other, then Jane spoke. "Yeah, uh..." she looked over the display and picked up a strap on. "Let’s try this one."

"Good choice. You wanna be on the giving end or receiving?"

"...giving."

"Kay." She took Jane by the hand and led her into the room, locking the door behind her.

"Well," Shawna said, "why not show me the baby stuff while we wait?" Miranda led her to a hall that was half filled with diapers. It was all the usual brands like Huggies, Pampers, and Luvs, and they all of course sized for the larger sort of baby that would attend college. Shawna looked at a package of Pampers. "The lady on that one is pretty hot."

"Yeah, I used to have a big crush on her."

"Used to?"

"Dere weren’t a lotta babies my age back home. Now I get to look at lotsa dem!"

"I guess that makes sense." She looked through things a bit more before she suddenly looked startled and started blushing. "Um..." She seemed to be at a loss for words. Which made sense to Miranda, since she could see how wet the girl’s diaper was. It was either cry or don’t for a baby in this situation, though Shawna seemed to look a little frustrated about that for some reason. Miranda took her by the hand and led her around, looking for a grown up. The ran into a cow girl in the lingerie corner. It took a minute before she noticed them, but then she looked down and saw the problem.

"Aww, someone’s kinda wet?" she asked. Shawna nodded. "I’ll fix that right up for you." She seemed to be surprised that the girl didn’t have a diaper bag, but Miranda just let her pull a diaper and wipes out of hers. The cow girl then picked Shawna up and took her into the bathroom. From what Miranda could see, Shawna had mixed feelings about this. Miranda did some shopping while she waited. After a while, Shawna finally emerged, smiling and blushing.

"Hello again!" Miranda said. "You look happy."

"She let me have some of her milk."

"Right from da boobie?"

"Uh huh."

"Dat’s how it’s best," Miranda said sagely. "Oh, I got you a present!" She pulled a pink sparkly pacifier out of her shopping bag and handed it to her friend. Then she placed an identical one in her mouth. "Now we ca’ mash," she awkwardly said around it. Shawna popped it into her mouth with a laugh, and Miranda took some selfies of them together.

After a little while, Jane finally emerged. She quietly made her way over to the register, payed for the item, and rejoined the other two girls, blushing.

"Well," Shawna asked after she removed her pacifier, "how was it?"

"...really good," Jane said quietly.

"Was it worth it?"

Jane nodded.

"Great! Let’s see what else this place has."

As Miranda led them off elsewhere, Jane walked near Shawna. "Sean, I know you said these stop our memories from changing, but do these forms do anything...else to our minds."

"Oh yeah, they all do. It made me wet my pants earlier. Why? Oh, you found out you liked maid stuff, didn’t you?"

Jane was silent.

"Did you bend over to dust something and let her-"

"SEAN!"

Miranda turned around, looking very worried.

"Sorry," Shawna said. "I guess I should have given you more detail. Are we cool, bro?"

Jane looked at Shawna, then at Miranda’s sad expression. She sighed. "Yeah, I guess we’re cool."

"YAY!" Miranda shouted. "HUG!" She grabbed them both, and they in turn awkwardly participated in the group hug. "Let’s go somewhere fun!" She turned and led them to the campus pond. "Duckies!" she said as she ran toward some, which all flew away further into the pond. "Let’s go chase them!" She grabbed Shawna’s hand, and led them knee deep in, where Shawna tripped. She threw her hands out in front of her and caught her fall, then she looked scared.

"Oh fuck..." She stood back up and looked at her watch thing. None of the lights were on anymore. "Oh fuck." She tapped it a few times, then shook it. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!"

"M-mine still works, right?" Jane asked.

"No it ran off mine! We need to get the fuck out of here!" Shawna looked around. "Where the fuck did we come from!?" She looked at Miranda, who was on the verge of tears.

"I-I-I’m sorry I got your toy wet!"

Shawna took a second to breath. "It’s not your fault. You’re still our friend, OK?" Miranda nodded. "We just need to go, and we need help finding our way. Do you remember where we came from?" Miranda nodded again, and started walking back towards the part of campus where she found them.

She looked at her friends, who were now both rubbing their heads. "Are you sure you’re OK?"

"We’ll be fine," Shawna said, but Jane was silent. Miranda moved closer to Jane and started petting her again. She was soon purring once more, and this time she started rubbing the side of her face on the girl with a soft meow.

"Hold on," Jane said. She carefully brushed her fingers through a tangled section of Miranda’s hair. "You need to brush this every day, hon."

"Jane, we need to keep moving!" Shawna said.

"Damn it Shawna, you know something like that would just keep bugging me! Speaking of which..." she went behind Shawna and pulled the back of her shirt out of her diaper. "People here really need to learn how to dress a baby girl right."

"Can we go now?"

"I didn’t hear a thank you."

Shawna grumbled. "Thank you..."

"Good girl."

Shawna smiled at that. She couldn’t remember the last time her friend had said something like that. But why would she? Because she was a baby, duh. But... "Do you guys ever feel like something isn’t how it should be?"

"Ohmigosh I did for the last couple of days, but it went away this morning."

"What did you do about it?" Shawna asked.

"Um... I played detective until I got tired of that game. Then I took a nap and had dinner."

Shawna yawned. "That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. You wanna take nappies?"

"Kay! We can snuggle in my crib!" Miranda said excitedly. Then she looked at Jane. "Um... maybe you can hang out with my roommate until lunch. I think you’d get along."

Jane shrugged. "It’s not like we have anything else to do today."

"Yay!" Miranda took her friends’ hands and led them back toward her dorm. Today was going to be awesome.
