Hey everyone. Since it seems that "This or That" has become fairly popular on here, I thought I would have a go with one. I want this to be short story based (2-3 paragraphs per update) with an overarching theme. I cannot guarantee a schedule of updates, but I figured with shorter entries it'll be easier to update more often. Your choices will determine the actions of the characters and the ages that they go to. So, here is your intro:
Mindy and Mandy may seem like your average mother and daughter. Mindy, age 60, is a single, professional working woman who shares her apartment with her daughter, Mandy. Mandy, age 28, is a college drop-out with no job but a crazy dating life; seemingly a different guy every night. Here's the catch:
They both dabble in witchcraft.
Recently, they found an old spell designed for age manipulation. The catch, however, is that the two purveyors of the spell will correlate in age. For instance, if Mindy wants to age down to 30 (-30) then Mandy would, in turn, have to age UP to 57 (+30). With their two different lifestyles, this could prove to have some hilarious results.
So, without further ado...
THIS OR THAT:
Mindy has a hot date with a guy she met online. The only problem is that he's 28...and so is the "profile" that Mindy is using to chat with him.
OR
Mandy has found a photo contest asking for twins who look exactly alike where the grand prize is $10K! She's always been told that she looks just like her mother when she was 28, but that gives them a 32 year difference. Will they end up splitting the difference?

"Sure, I'll see you then," Mindy typed into the reply box. Biting her bottom lip, she contemplated what she had just done -- she had accepted a date request from a guy 32 years her junior. The only problem? He didn't know that the 60 year old accountant was just that and not the 28 year old Kindergarten teacher like her fake profile said she was. Normally, Mindy wouldn't do this type of thing; she considered herself to be pretty straight forward in both her professional and personal life. She didn't even like going barefoot in her own apartment.
But this felt different. It had been nearly 20 years since her husband, Greg, had walked out on her and their daughter, Mandy. Mindy struggled to climb the corporate ladder to provide for her and Mandy, making numerous sacrifices to her personal life along the way. Until recently, she had not even thought about going back into the dating game. She had become fairly successful, drove a nice car and was living debt free. Then daughter Mandy brought home Craig. Craig, who was much younger than Mindy, caught her eye immediately. For the coming days and weeks, she couldn't help but begin imagining Craig propped over her and she enjoyed sessions with her "toys."
Soon, she had set up a fake social media account -- a "catfish" account if you will -- to lure younger guys into her grasp. Finally, after chatting with Chris for a few days, he asked her on a date. It was never Mindy's intention to garner a date from this experiment, just to get her kicks talking to younger guys. But now, a date?
Mindy got up from her laptop and walked over to her vanity and looked in the mirror. Her once dark brown hair now showed streaks of gray that complimented her age; she liked her natural look, feeling as though it gave her a sense of seniority in the office. Her lips had started showing creeping lines, matching the smile lines and crows feet she gained a couple of decades earlier. She did her best to stay in shape, boasting a petite figure. However, time still took its hold on her breasts, bringing them downward as each year passed.
Surely, no 28 year old guy would be that interested in what she could offer. This thought ran to her mind as she gave a slight smirk in the mirror.
"Well," she said to herself, "it's a good thing I have you." She looked down to the spell book laying on her vanity and opened to the page titled "Age Manipulation."
THIS OR THAT:
Mindy goes to Mandy's room to talk with her about the age change, a spell which they have yet to try
OR
Mindy prepares the spell without Mandy's permission, surprising her with the change
(This is a bit longer than I hoped regular updates would be, but I figured it needed a decent set up. Thanks to all who have responded so far!)

Oh, without permission for sure! No fun without a bit of a surprise.

I kinda like the permission angle. Who wouldn't want their mama to be happy? š¹

Permission it is!
The "Age Manipulation" spell page seemed simple enough. The instructions made it clear that the spellcaster's age would change to the same degree that the "donor's" would. Quickly, Mindy wrote on the left side of the blank parchment paper "Mindy - 60 to 28" but then stopped.
"Oh Mandy..." she said to herself, "I sure do hope you go for this." She switched over to the right side of the page and wrote "Mandy - 27 to 59" and shut the book. Suddenly, a green, mist-like orb came out of the front cover of the leather-bound spell book. With only one step left, Mindy grabbed the orb and headed down the hall to Mandy's room.
Mindy found Mandy laying on her bed watching "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" on Netflix. "Mom, can you believe this crap?" Mandy asked. "They didn't even come close to getting it right!" Mandy was wearing a tank top and sweatpants, her usual lounging attire, and no socks. Her soft, delicate soles peaking out from underneath a blanket.
"No, I really haven't had a chance to check it out," replied her mother. "Say...did you happen to pay the phone bill like I asked you?"
Mandy raised her hand and lightly scratched the top of her head, sporting a messy bun. "Crap...no. Mom, I'm sorry. Ever since I was let go from the coffee shop --"
"You were fired for not splitting tips," Mindy interrupted.
"Whatever," Mandy said, rolling her eyes. "I'm a little low on funds, to be honest. I was thinking that, maybe, you could handle it just this month?"
"Mandy, I give you ONE single bill to pay in this house and you can't even handle that," Mindy retorted as she walked across the room to Mandy, still holding the small orb behind her back. "Sure, I'll handle the bill this month. But under one condition: you and I get to try a new spell tonight." Mindy quickly brought the orb in front of her bosom, showing it to her daughter.
"Woah! I haven't seen a spell that color before! What does it do?"
"Well...funny you should ask...it changes our ages. I have a date tonight with a...28 year old.." Mindy told her daughter sheepishly.
"You GO mom!" Mandy exclaimed. "That is so cool! I bet you are gonna look fiiiiiiine. So what does this have to do with me?"
"Mandy, for it to work -- for me to get younger -- you have to get...older; more MATURE let's say," Mindy explains, tip-toeing around the truth. "It only lasts for 24 hours, as you know, and we can call the whole phone bill even. What do you say?"
"Well...I guess so. I mean, I really can't afford for our phones to be cut off so, sure. Let's do it!" Mandy said.
"Thank you so much!" Mindy exclaimed, now excited about what the night might bring with her hot, young date. "And don't worry, being 59 won't be that bad!"
"Wait, WHAT?!" Mandy yelled, as her mother grabbed her hand and pressed it to the green orb....
This or That
The spell is instant, causing Mindy to become a young fox and Mandy a mature-MILF in a flash
OR
The spell is not immediate, causing slight confusion between mother and daughter
