Evan’s fingers continued idly stroking Charity’s hair as the conversation turned from dreaming to design.
Brooklyn pulled a notebook from her bag, flipping to a blank page and clicking her pen with manic glee. “Okay, so if we’re actually gonna do this, if it’s not just a vibe but like, a thing, then we need to break it into parts. Roles. Structure.”
“Right,” Madison said, already leaning in. “We each manage our own Littles day-to-day, but within the household, they fall under the same behavioral system.”
Evan nodded. “Same expectations, same rules, no matter who their primary is.”
Charity’s mouth felt dry.
Brooklyn’s pen danced across the page. “So: leader, task specialists, general aides. We’ll need someone to handle scheduling, feeding times, hygiene, grooming, assignments.”
“Leader should do that,” Madison said without hesitation. “Leader enforces the structure we put in place.”
“I think we need to talk about that,” Brooklyn said casually, glancing over at Charity as she drew a quick pyramid with three boxes stacked beneath it. “Like… who actually makes the best Little leader?”
Evan blinked. “Charity, obviously. I mean, she’s already way ahead of the curve. I’ve got her on grooming, posture, response cues, even basic chore cycles.”
Brooklyn raised a skeptical eyebrow. “Sure. But Trina’s super consistent. She’s already helping me prep lunches. She keeps her habitat organized without even being told. And she doesn’t get all snippy when corrected.”
Evan’s brows furrowed slightly, her hand pausing for a moment in Charity’s hair.
“Okay, but let’s not pretend Trina was born perfect,” Evan said, a rare edge creeping into her usually calm tone. “You remember how it started. She wouldn’t even wear the collar. She used to bite. You had to keep her in that swaddle suit for the first week or she’d scratch herself raw trying to escape.”
Brooklyn shrugged. “Yeah, but she adjusted.”
“Because Cindy had to come over twice to help train her,” Evan said pointedly. “And not just with bonding techniques, Cindy had to model the feeding schedule, help you reset her sleep cycles, even draft her first behavioral chart. Trina was feral. You called her a ‘little raccoon’ for days.”
That got a smirk out of Madison, but Evan leaned forward now, more insistent.
“I’ve done all of Charity’s training myself,” she said. “No outside help. No corrections from Madison’s mom. No resets. Everything she does, her responses, her posture, her tone? That’s from me. And I did it without sedation or emergency protocols.”
Brooklyn hesitated, her pen hovering above the page.
“I’m not saying Trina isn’t good,” Evan continued, more softly now. “But let’s not pretend she got there alone. Or quickly. Charity came from a harder starting place, and look how far she’s come.”
Madison tapped a finger against her lip, thinking. “Okay, fair. I forgot about the biting.”
“Everyone forgets,” Evan said, her voice dipping just slightly. “But I don’t.” Evan said defensively, fingers tightening slightly in Charity’s hair. “But Charity has experience. She’s been at the top before. She knows how to lead.”
“She also knows how to be defiant,” Madison said, tilting her head. “Don’t forget we watched her pout for two full days over the dress thing.”
Charity bit her lip hard enough to taste blood. That dress. The lavender one with the bow in the back that made her look like a toddler in Sunday school. She’d fought to wear the other option, sleeker, navy, understated. Evan had smiled and picked the lavender one anyway. She’d worn it. Because Evan said so.
“She’s improved since then,” Evan murmured, eyes downcast. “She’s loyal now.”
“But Trina’s… steady,” Brooklyn said, tapping the page. “And if the leader’s job is to maintain standards, enforce the system, don’t we want the most… dependable Little?”
“She’d take it seriously,” Madison added. “She wouldn’t let her old life get in the way.”
Old life.
The phrase struck Charity like a slap.
As if it were a disqualifier.
She felt a tight knot rise in her throat. The room was still spinning with ideas, the girls’ voices lifting and looping, but she couldn’t keep up. She wasn’t even a person in this moment, she was a contender. A possibility. A name in a spreadsheet.
She was being debated. Compared.
“I’m not saying it has to be Trina,” Brooklyn said, “but we should be smart about this. Pick who’s best. Who will make the others respect the system. Not just someone we feel bad for because she used to be somebody.”
Evan flinched at that, and her hand went still on Charity’s hair. “It’s not about feeling bad. It’s about potential.”
“She’s not useless,” Madison conceded. “She just might not be the best for the top.”
“Then we table it,” Evan said, sitting back. “We decide after both are evaluated, and we are closer to putting it all in place.
Brooklyn nodded. “Fair.”
Madison shrugged. “Fine with me. We’ll run mock scenarios. See who performs best under structured conditions.”
Charity didn’t move.
She couldn’t.
They had just compared her to another Little like she was a lab rat. Not even to her face, but in her presence. Like she wasn’t there at all.
She used to command people. Now she sat frozen in the lap of the girl she used to ignore but allowed around her because of their parents. Now she was being gently pet while the question of her worth was debated like a group project assignment.
Trina.
She had never even met Trina.
But already she hated her.
And feared her.
Because Trina didn’t have history dragging behind her. Trina hadn’t once stood at the center of a luxury suite party sipping from a crystal flute while Evan hovered at the edge hoping to be noticed.
Trina hadn’t fallen.
She had been made for this.
Built for it.
Charity, meanwhile, had been dropped.
Brooklyn was drawing again. A chart now.
“Okay, so day structure,” she said. “Leader wakes first. Performs personal hygiene. Prepares a report or checklist for the day’s tasks.”
“Breakfast service begins at 7:15,” Madison said. “By 7:45, all Littles need to be dressed, prepped, and stationed.”
“Chores rotate weekly,” Evan added. “No one gets to specialize forever.”
“And there’s a peer accountability clause,” Madison noted. “If one fails, the whole cohort gets evaluated. That reinforces communal discipline.”
“Punishments?” Brooklyn asked.
“We keep it clean. Removal of privileges. Reduced pellet flavor. No cuddle time. No treats,” Madison said.
“Plus,” Evan said quietly, “no tablet access.”
Charity flinched again. That word, tablet, was now a trigger. A dangling possibility that mocked her every time it was spoken aloud.
“And,” Madison said, scribbling furiously, “each Little’s day ends with check-in and posture review. If they meet all performance benchmarks, they get a gold token. Ten tokens earns a reward tier.”
“What kind of rewards?” Brooklyn asked.
“Spa bath, story time, food treats,” Evan said immediately. “Or… supervised tech access.”
“Two-minute FaceTime,” Madison smirked. “With supervision, of course.”
Charity felt her stomach churn.
They were planning her entire life.
Not just hers, dozens like her. All under one roof. Groomed. Ranked. Measured. Directed by a leader chosen not for merit, but for compliance.
And she was no longer the obvious choice.
She looked down at her hands. Her carefully posed posture. Her tidy nails trimmed by Evan. Her perfect, practiced little sit. All of it, her performance, her training, might not even be enough to place her above another Little she hadn’t met.
What did that make her?
Replaceable.
“Charity,” Evan whispered above her, as the girls resumed their laughter and chart building, “you’re doing really well. I see you trying.”
Charity nodded reflexively. A soft, almost imperceptible movement.
Because that’s all she could do.
Because the leash around her life now wasn’t physical. It was measured in praise. In praise withheld. In charts and clipboards and the whims of middle school girls designing a kingdom of obedience.
And all she could do was wait to see if she’d be its queen, or its subject.
Evan low key pissed lol
Yeah she was not having it when Brooklyn was coming after charity which really shows how much she loves her dispute past feelings before she transformed into her pet
She was
Now this makes me think that Charity doesn’t get the position as Little Leader.
Well it was going to be a competition regardless and hey she can still win it you never know
Well this is a prequel to madisons world. but hard to say what the future holds
To tell the truth when I start reading this story I thought in the beginning that will be the same story like in step monster when the daugther torture her step mother and make a dog out of her .
But in here charity is trading nicely .
PS: what is Trina’s back story was anyway before she shrink?
Fair point and charity and still figuring things out about her life with Evan and figuring out herself
I’m really questioning if these three can really handle living together like that I mean what if they find boyfriends or girlfriends and want there own place and start a family and what not
Like I get it there young and not fully understanding what it takes to have all these ideas and stuff but hey time will tell and I’m betting that half the ideas don’t see the light of day honestly
I’m sure that Trina and charity will turn enemies into friends or even frenemies once they meet regularly
Cindy being part of this community is going to awkward as hell and damn Trina background seems like a violent one I figured Littles would do self harm or fight back if push to hard mentally and if I put money on it she’s not the only one to have that type of behavior for little that haven’t been domesticated yet
I’m glad there forms of punishment doesn’t include the little flick and just take away or loss of access to things
And damn Evan was pissed when Brooklyn was going at charity’s history which I love and find interesting.
A) I think there is a rift between Evan and Brooklyn B because they are both supporting there little girls and that means that each little mom has to be watched not doing bad stuff to the others little girl.
B) I would like to know Trina’s back ground. Sounds like she did not take the change well. Even though Trina sounds tough. Most rich girls get good Self defense training from high price instructors so I think Charity might surprise her if it becomes violent.
C) I think Greg and Cindy becoming littles will change things a lot because the littles might enjoy messing with Cindy because she messed with them when she was big. If they stay local so Madison is still with her sister then Greg being the only male might become a issue with 3 over 18 little woman and one man.
D) I think all three will be very protective of there littles like the little moms they are, even Madison lol.
People have roommates and date all the time. I feel like it wont be an issue plus you are probably talking about something a decade or more from where we are currently at. Alot can change in a decade.
Evan does stand up for charity.
im not sure Cindy and Trina will be friends they dont even know each other at this point. So its a bit early to say they will be friends or enemies.
1) “So: leader, task specialists, general aides. We’ll need someone to handle scheduling, feeding times, hygiene, grooming, assignments.” “Leader should do that, Leader enforces the structure we put in place.” Are they putting one of their Littles incharge of Littlecare?
2) ““Same expectations, same rules, no matter who their primary is.” that won’t go so well for Charity.
3) “You remember how it started. She wouldn’t even wear the collar. She used to bite. You had to keep her in that swaddle suit for the first week or she’d scratch herself raw trying to escape.” Damn, Trina’s lore is wild. A little who bites and needs to be swaddled is a funny thought, though.
4) “Yeah, but she adjusted.” “Because Cindy had to come over twice to help train her,” Well, that adds a new layer to Trina and Cindy’s Dynamic (also it’s weird Evan is calling her “Cindy” and not “Mrs Wessen” at this point)
5) “Trina was feral. You called her a ‘little raccoon’ for days.” Honestly that’s a flashback I’d like to see,
6) “I’ve done all of Charity’s training myself, No outside help. No corrections from Madison’s mom. No resets. Everything she does, her responses, her posture, her tone? That’s from me.” don’t discount all the Time Alejandra spent breaking her spirit
7) “And I did it without sedation or emergency protocols.” Do people sedate Littles and have emergency protocols?
8) “Everyone forgets, But I don’t.” It’s good to remember who people are.
9) “But Charity has experience. She’s been at the top before. She knows how to lead.” I think that’s actually reason not to put her back in charge.
10) “She also knows how to be defiant, Don’t forget we watched her pout for two full days over the dress thing.” Pouting is still a lot better than biting and being feral.
11) “That dress” I appreciate getting an explanation on the dress thing
12) “Not just someone we feel bad for because she used to be somebody.” I find it hard to believe they feel bad for Charity.
13) “Trina. She had never even met Trina. But already she hated her. And feared her.” I’ like to see them meeting for the first time.
14) “Because Trina didn’t have history dragging behind her. Trina hadn’t once stood at the center of a luxury suite party sipping from a crystal flute while Evan hovered at the edge hoping to be noticed. Trina hadn’t fallen.” Charity doesn’t know that, for all she knows Trian was another spoiled rich kid.
15) “She had been made for this. Built for it. Charity, meanwhile, had been dropped.” Trina wasn’t, though; we just learned about her rebellious phase, and how she had to be broken in.
16) “If one fails, the whole cohort gets evaluated. That reinforces communal discipline.” you mean group punishment? That’s literally a war crime.
17) “each Little’s day ends with check-in and posture review. If they meet all performance benchmarks, they get a gold token. Ten tokens earns a reward tier.” sounds like a point system.
18) “Spa bath, story time, food treats,” are they trying to reward Littles who are all older than them with fucking story time?
19) “Two-minute FaceTime,” that’s way to short, like cruelly short.
20) “Not just hers, dozens like her. All under one roof. Groomed. Ranked. Measured. Directed by a leader chosen not for merit, but for compliance” not sure they’ll get dozens, or evan a dozen/
21) “And she was no longer the obvious choice” just because she’s the Leader’s Little, doesn’t mean she’ll be the Littles’ leader.
22) “Charity, you’re doing really well. I see you trying.” Reassurance is nice, nicest thing Evan’s done all chapter
1) Littles would have some degree of responsibility for little care. Not solely but it would be a part.
2)On the surface i agree with you. However, it would depend overall how much interaction Charity has with Brooklyn and Madison.
3) It should be noted that Evan is sticking up for Charity though. Defending her little so to speak. You’ve criticized other guardians for not doing so.
4) Honestly I didnt even think about it. I wasnt thinking of there relationship to Cindy. I was just thinking of her as Cindy becuase of Charity.
5)I dont know if the Trina lore will be depicted that far back. there may be a Brooklyns World but she will probably already have Trina if i’d do it.
6)The Alejandra time would be a factor as well but Evan’s efforts shouldnt be discounted as she’s also been trying to build charity up the entire time.
7) Littles can be sedated. You should always have emergency protocols for things. What if a little is hurt or injured? Granted that wasn’t the connoation here but would be an example. Another would be unruly little. where you need to detain them or restrain them without harming themselves.
8) Evan was being a good little owner here. Defending her little.
9)It could go either way really
10) Pouting is alot better then the violent reactions trina had.
11) You’re welcome
12) They aren’t monsters.
13) they probably wont be friendly with each other. Atleast charity wont be friendly.
14) True, shes hedging bets here.
15) Thats not how the majority of the room is billing Trina though.
16) I wouldnt call it a war crime it happens in schools everyday. Where one person is talking the whole class gets punished or something is taken away or an opportunity is lost. Or if your sibling gets in trouble both get punished.
17) Reward systems are common in life in general.
18) But getting non little content could be viewed as a reward in theory.
19) Depending on who you are face timing it could be to much ime.
20) Hard to say as we haven’t seen them as aduls.
21) that is factual. Even if Evan wants her as the little leader seh could be outvoted.
22) She defended her throughout the chapter.
1) Wouldn’t (by this world’s logic) that be akin to putting a baby in charge of daycare?
2) True, though we know that between now and Madison’s world she’ll have alone time with both.
3) You’re right, I had interpreted it as Evan’s ego, and Evan attacking Trina, but she is defending Charity which is good of her.
5) Pity
6) She has, build her into what she wants charity to be.
7) Hope that get’s elaborated on
8) I think that one was more an attack on Trina then a defence of Charity
9) Valid
10) Yes, much
12) or are they?
13) That tracks for Charity.
15) They are
16) No, it objectively is a war crime, it violates the Geneva Convention, teachers shouldn’t be doing it.
17) True
18) Maybe
19) For Charity it’d be way too short.
22) She did, I’ll give her that.
So they just want a Stephen from Django unchained! Jesus H Christ! I love that morals are thrown out the door when it comes to littles🤣🤣 like hi girls are you ok with being our slaves but it’s ok cause it’s a lower case s 🤣🤣 you can polish a turd and it’s still a turd! You can train a little and get them to little sit and call you formally but they’re still slaves…… if they have no say in it they’re slaves… ok rant over 🤣🤣
Maybe the littles will rise up and have there own Malcom X or Dr king….
Well in this world they can’t be considered slaves as they were never considered humans. Look at Mexico if you are a little you are immediately put into the system the moment you are birthed. You don’t even see your parents as they aren’t considered your parents.
America allows you to live the illusion until you succumb to Smallara officially. But once you are a little you are basically animal.
So morallistically its different as you are applying morals of our world to their world and they have different history, different cultures, different learned experiences.
Littles aren’t afforded the same rights so the girls talking abou littles wouldn’t have he same sensibilities as you or I as they are different, raised different, culturally different, and won’t ever have he same beliefs as us as the world is different.
See I disagree, why would her parents then say “she’s still a person” even Sara thinks Jordan is a person even pet person, he has a say in some things…. Please tell me Cindy and her following even the girls are just a loud minority….
I believe Cindy and her group are in a loud influential but small group. Littles are really expensive and the guardianship and stuff is expensive too, so from my understanding of that and the comments of past, a majority of people under the class that can afford a little either don’t pay attention or listen to what is presented on the news, which in this world is state sponsored to a high degree. So others could feel the same as Cindy, feel the same as Sara and her friends to a degree, or not really care because they can’t afford one and don’t want to go into debt
Also, Any possibility for a fun Kayla Kelli episode for my birthday? Lol
Only if I get a Dayton JGC episode for my birthday lol.
fair enough! heck, I’d like a carter episode at somepoint too lol he seems like a interesting dude
I tried to post this before, but somehow it got lost…
This started as a response about whether Trina or Charity would be the “Top Little”, and then I digress 😝:
In Madison’s World it looks like Trina is the one that wins this contest. She is the one that is brought in to get Cindy and Greg on track in their training. Evan shows them a hierarchy list where they report to Trina and Trina reports to the “Bigs”. Charity is not mentioned by name but Evan does mention that she has a Little that is responsible for keeping her shoes clean.
I still question the plans the girls have for their “community”. As it stands they only have 4 Littles total. Given the expense of obtaining a Little, I don’t see them expanding their inventory by much. McKenzie and Madison only have Littles because their Parents shrunk. Evan just got hers. Krysi’s parent’s are reluctant to pay for her Guardian training, so she is not likely to get one anytime soon.
The latest plan was for the girls to all move into Madison’s house. That means 5 girls and 4 Littles (there was another girl mentioned {Ava}, but I was not sure if she was moving in or not, and I don’t think she had a Little. With McKenzie as the head of household and still in school, it will still take the other 4 girls to put in a significant amount of effort to keep the house running. (Shopping, food prep, laundry {4 Littles cannot do the laundry of 5 Bigs}, hauling garbage to the curb, etc..). Right now Cindy and Greg are doing homework, and Cindy is cleaning the toilet and sink in 2 bathrooms. Trina’s responsibilities, beyond being the “Little in charge”, have not been enumerated and Evan has mentioned that her Little (assuming Charity) is responsible for keeping her shoes clean.
Granted the girls could certainly keep their Littles busy, I just don’t see them making a significant contribution to the girls daily life.
It seems it would be better if the girls use Sara’s method and keep their little with them always on there shoulder or other places on their body, even Madison with Cindy when they are not home to be with them. That way their littles can keep them company and see the schooling they would have to do home work for.
Two things to your first point. Evan was canonically stated to have a litle but it wasn’t defined who it woudl be as I hadnt decided who it was Which is why Trina was depicted as the top little.
Trina is depicted as he leader in Madisons world but how i works or what happens isn mentioned in detail.
You are talking abou something that will happen over 10 years in the future. They are only 12 here. So how many littles they have or the long term plans in a fully realized version are hard to officially say as its so far in the future.
As far as the chores everythign was mentioned very broadly. Its not stated exactly how or what part of a chore they would do. They said laundry but never said they would do it all of it for example. That was jus where peoples minds went as the girsl who were just chatting weren’t going into details.
i think to keep the peace, Evan is keeping charity for herself and her stuff because she thinks(rightfully so) that Trina is a ferial animal and much bellow her heiress Charity.
thats a possibility and logical argument
I understand what you mean about the chores and that the girls are kind of fantasizing a bit at this point (like you said they are 12 🙂).
Unless something extraordinary happens (one of them hits the Lottery), their chances of a significant increase in their Little inventory is pretty slim. I don’t see McKenzie in this for the long haul either, given her views on Littles (but I guess that could change. I hope it doesn’t, I prefer McKenzie to be a benevolent “Big”).
We’ll see how this all plays out eventually as you tell your story.
It’s funny how myself and others can get so wrapped up in a work of fiction like this! But it’s fun!
its an honor to have peopel so invested
