One of the major Plot Devices of "In Loco Parentis" is the Age Regression curse ( Cut for spoilers. As if anyone cares. )

Well, the good news is, I have a solid grasp of where my Summer of Giles story needs to go, and how to correct the Point of View mess of the 2nd and 3rd half. Not sure if I can do it in 2 weeks, but I wasn't planning to post the whole novel in one day, anyway.
