Helping the Helpless

A Watamote AR Story

Tomoko fidgeted slightly, standing at the door. She had been here for about five minutes, simply standing at the door and fidgeting, moving from one foot to another. Saying that she felt awkward at this moment would be quite the understatement. She had basically been minding her own business in class, silently judging people in the back of the room, when Megumi had walked up to her. This in and of itself would have shocked her, but it's what she had spoken to her about that really caused her freak out!

"Hello Tomo-chan!" she had said, in a very sweet, caring voice that she was known for. It caused Tomoko to jump rather violently and take a defensive position, hiding herself partially behind her school bag. "Oh... Hello... Megumi... San..." Tomoko said when she realized who it was that was, getting progressively quieter with each word. Megumi continued to smile pleasantly, looking down at the small girl. "How are you doing today?" she asked, completely unfazed by the rather odd greeting she received.

"I... Um... Oh... Okay..." she stammered, still not sure why this popular girl was talking to her. Megumi giggled a bit, pushing back a bit of her hair. "Good! Hey, I was curious about something..." Megumi said, suddenly looking uneasy for a moment, "You know, there is a festival this weekend... And, well... If you aren't busy..." She started to shift a bit, looking almost embarrassed to ask her something...

Tomoko stared at her, wide eyed, as she spoke. It was like something she kept locked away in her deepest fantasies. Someone she admired... Was asking her to go somewhere... Voluntarily? Tomoko studied her quickly, looking her up and down. She seemed genuine as well, no sign of pity or sarcasm, and there wasn't anyone watching, so it didn't seem like a joke. "Uh... Uh... Um..." Tomoko stammered, her face now red, her body shaking slightly, "Uh... You want to... Go to the festival... With... Me?"

Megumi smiled softly, nodding. "Yes, I would like that! Stop by my place after school tomorrow!" she said, waving to her as she grabbed her bag and walked away. Tomoko was left in a stunned silence, not even noticing the small line of drool hanging out of her mouth.

And there she was. She was standing at Megumi's doorstep, too embarrassed to even knock on the door. She had attempted several times, of course, but stopped right before ever touching the door. Finally, she gulped and, gathering as much courage as she could, she lifted her shaking hand and hit the door several times, with a little more vigor than she had planned. She quickly retreated back a few steps, pressing her fingers together and shifting from foot to foot.

Megumi smiled, hearing the knock on the door. She had been expecting this for a few minutes now, ever since she saw her walk up the walkway. She capped the bottle of water, before going to the door, opening it. "Hello Tomo-chan! You ready to go?" she asked, grabbing her purse and stepping out. Tomoko nodded softly, looking down at her feet. Megumi giggled, hooking arms with her and walking away from the house. "Don't worry! Today is going to be fun! Here," she said, handing her the water bottle, "Have this, in case you get dehyrated..."

"T-thank you..." Tomoko said, looking down at the water in awe. She had never been given something by someone she barely knew! She gulped a bit before unscrewing it slowly, taking a drink. It tasted funny... It was probably some of that weird rich person sparkling water... Megumi watched her closely as she drank, still linking arms with her. "Come on, let's go!" she said, bustling along the street, heading into the center of town, where dozens of festival booths could be seen.

It was a rather crowded evening, as many of the people were apparently very excited about today's events. Tomoko looked around, ogling at all the people. She had a bit of an issue with large crowds of people, but for some reason, being here didn't seem to bother her... As much as it usually did, anyways. Megumi seemed to help this feeling of comfort, keeping a tight grip on Tomoko, leading her as she jabbered on about something or other, most likely involving school. It wasn't until a few minutes in that she felt herself suddenly being tugged in a different direction, to a nearby booth. "Ooh, I think you will love this one!" Megumi said, as she dragged the smaller girl, who was making odd noises of protest, but not really able to stop being pulled.

They both stopped in front of a walk in booth, small but still packed with things. Tomoko slowly looked around, seeing many different hats, jewelery laid about everywhere, and many packs of makeup. It seemed to be some form of Fashion Tent, which made Tomoko feel quite awkward. While she did appreciate good fashion, she would never consider herself particularly fashionable. That was usually saved for the annoying bitches in class, who like to look nice when they go out at night to do filthy things...

She was snapped out of her thoughts as she was suddenly tugged to the side by Megumi, who was attempting to show her different things. "Oh, this would look great on you!" she said, placing a sun hat on top of her head. Tomoko stuttered a bit, but was unable to form a word, instead just becoming quiet, her face a deep scarlet. She was pushed in front of a mirror, where she could see herself in the hat. While it did go with the plain white sundress she was wearing, it was rather unfitting for the girl that it sat atop. As Megumi stood behind her, admiring her, she couldn't help but notice how small and insignificant she looked. Possibly it was because how mature she looked next to the flat chested, rather childlike girl in front of her.

"Here, let's try this too..." Megumi said, as Tomoko felt her hair being parted behind her. After a few tugs, she could see that she now had two low hanging pigtails, making her look even more like a child. "You're so cute~!" Megumi said, loosely hugging her, before grasping her by the arm, tugging her out of the booth. "Here, let's go get some snacks... Make sure to keep hydrated!" Megumi reminded her, as they walked through the crowd again. Tomoko nodded, dazed at all the activity that she wasn't used to, as she took another mindless drink from the bottle she was carrying...

A few minutes later, she found herself in front of another stand. This one had several rows of different candies and sweet things, all of various bright colors. Despite wanting to seem mature next to Megumi, she couldn't help but drool a bit as she looked down at everything. "Go ahead, pick something~" Megumi said, giggling a bit. Tomoko looked up at her, but blushed, noticing that she was staring directly up at her chest. This was strange, as she could have sworn that just a moment again, she was only a head shorter than Megumi, but now she seemed to only come up to her stomach. And come to think of it, all these kids around this stand seemed to be around the same height of her as well...

She snapped out of her thoughts again, though, by a nudge from Megumi. "Everything alright?" she asked, sounding somewhat worried. Tomoko quickly nodded, hustling off to look for some candy. After some thought, she took up a candy apple, grabbing another for Megumi as well. She walked back to the taller girl. Megumi smiled softly, taking the candy apple and paying for it. "Thank you, Tomo-chan" she said appreciatively, taking Tomoko's hand now as they walked away. Despite being spoken to like a child, Tomoko couldn't help but smile, eating the candy apple as her hand was held. It felt... Kind of nice, being appreciated like that...

"Oh... Um... Where are we... Going now?" Tomoko asked, in an even smaller voice than usual. Megumi looked around, before at her watch. "Oh! The fireworks will be starting soon!" she said, tugging her forward down the road, "I have one last place to visit before we go see them... Make sure to drink your water!" she said, looking down at Tomoko, almost as if ordering her to. Tomoko jumped a bit, before nodding, taking the bottle of water she was given earlier and downing the rest of it, wiping her mouth. "Thank you... Megu...Chan..." she said, both feeling embarrassed at the statement, and a little odd...

"It's no problem... Ah, here it is!" she said, stopping outside another tent. Unlike the other two, this one was rather plain, with a big red cross on the top of it. "A... Medical tent?" Tomoko asked, looking up at her curiously.

"Yup! Just need to grab a couple things... You wait out here, okay~?" Megumi said, before patting her head and entering. Tomoko blushed before turning around, facing the crowd, slowly eating the candy apple.

As she stared at everyone, however, she realized that something was definitely off. First off, as she watched all the people pass, she noticed how large everyone seemed. They seemed big when she entered, as she was always a small girl, but today they seemed like giants. It actually made her kind of nervous, looking at all these people pass by...

What was more surprising, however, is when she looked down, and saw that the sundress, which before came to just above her knee, was now dragging on the ground, covering her feet. She jumped in surprise, but her foot caught the bottom and forced the loose fitting clothing to be tugged off. As her underpants were loose as well, and she had no need for a bra, she found herself to be quite nude now, though it didn't matter much, as she only looked about 4 years old, maybe even younger with every second.

Unsure of what was going on, and quite freaked out by the current happenings, she could feel her eyes start to well up with tears. Before she could start bawling, like the babe she looked like, she heard a voice yell out "Oh, Tomo-chan!" before she was scooped up and hugged tightly. Tomoko instinctively hugged back, looking up to see the now huge figure of Megumi holding her. "I'm sorry Tomo-chan... Here, let's get you changed and I will explain..." she said, heading out of the festival, to a more private area.

Tomoko was silent as she was carried off, both from the shock of suddenly being two years old again, and the embarrassment of being carried around, completely naked, in public. Megumi entered a door, and they were now in a bathroom, where Megumi opened up a Diaper Changing Station and laid Tomoko down. Tomoko was finally able to look down at herself now, as Megumi dug around for something in her purse.

While still being kind of skinny, she noticed that now she had layer of baby fat covering her entire body. Her belly was also a little bit bigger, gaining some chubbiness in exchange for some loss of height. From the look at how soft her skin was, she was probably quite ticklish... Her small hands felt her face, which was also a bit chubby, and she could feel a few teeth in her mouth, though most of them were now missing...

"Now than... I owe you an explanation..." Megumi said, producing a diaper. Tomoko squeaked at the sight of it, but Megumi waved her off, "Don't worry, this is for your own, and, well, my protection. Don't want you peeing on my nice clothes~!" she said, with a playful wink that didn't make Tomoko feel any better. "Anyways... I noticed a few months ago, after we first met, that you didn't seem that happy..." she said, slipping the diaper under her, "And how you were quiet, and had trouble talking... You always seemed so sad. I even noticed how you tried to do new things, and failed, and how miserable you looked..." She was now powdering her, patting it into her chubby thighs. "I wanted to help you, but I knew just talking wouldn't do much. So... I decided to try something a little different!" With this, Tomoko felt the diaper being pulled up in between her legs, taped snugly around her waist.

She was then lifted up, sat on the edge of the changing station. "This way, I can make you as happy as possible, and no one will think it's weird! I can just say you are my cousin or something~" Tomoko stuttered a bit, but instead of having trouble talking in front of people, this time, she was having trouble forming words at all! Megumi giggled, picking her up again. "Don't worry... This will only last about a week or so. I told you mom that you were staying with me, to cram for exams... Now, let's go see the fireworks!" she said, tickling Tomoko's belly. The little girl was still unsure about the whole situation, but she couldn't help but giggle as she was tickled. This couldn't be that bad... Right?
