Edward had woken up and found herself much taller, and Ein much, much younger - a puppy, even. The dog was far more concerned about this strange turn of events than she was

There were kids all over the damn place again, and Doyle wasn't sure if he was just imagining this as some kind of weird nightmare. Except tripping over that rock on the way down the path had jarred his knee and it hurt like a bitch as he walked.
He'd made it down to the beach when arms hanging down from a tree caught his eye as he walked past. What was it with girls and trees, anyway? Weren't boys supposed to be the climbers?
Doyle glanced up, meaning to just give the person a smile and nod as he passed by, but a familiar shock of hair and the answer to why she was hanging upsidedown made him stop in his tracks.
"Ed?" Well, at least his question about whether she was a boy or girl was answered now.
Doyle didn't know what the hell it was with girls and climbing trees (no, seriously, wasn't that supposed to be a boy thing?), though in Ed's case he wasn't really surprised.
He made his way up to the first branch with a bit of a struggle, and eventually decided to just sit on that one with his back against the trunk. He could at least see Ed's face from there, even if it was upside down. "This is about as far as I get, you know."
She pulled herself up so she was sitting on the branch instead of hanging from it. She let her legs dangle down.
"Edward's bigger," she informed him, just in case he didn't know. The far smaller Ein finally noticed Doyle and left the seagulls long enough to go over to the tree and inspect what was going on.
"I can see that," Doyle said, unable to keep from smiling. It was kind of weird that he was essentially looking at what Ed was going to look like when she grew up, and maybe weirder still that she didn't sund ay different.
It made Doyle wonder how the hell those married couples were dealing when one of them woke up as a kid. Poor saps.
He looked down when he heard a bark, and he had to laugh in surprise. "Got you too, Ein?"
