Jack was angry. He wasn't sure what to do, Sofie, his crush, had fallen for that prick, Rick! They were dating regularly at this point, and 16 year old Jack had no idea what to do about it. However, one day, while walking through town pondering what to do about Rick, he spotted a new store, he hadn't seen it before, so it was probably relatively new, Jacks curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to enter.
Upon entering, he hears a small bell from the door, and the storekeeper turns to face him ''Welcome to the CYOC store, how can I help you?''. Jack wasn't entirely sure what the letters CYOC even meant, but he was somewhat curious as to what the store atcually sold, from what he could see, it didn't really have any pattern, it didn't really seem like any of the items at the store really went together, it might as well be a random collection of items.
Jack decides to ask ''What do you sell here?'' out of curiosty, the storekeeper responds ''At CYOC you get to choose your own change, each item here will be able to change you, physically or mentally, anything is possible!''. Jack realized, it was another one of those ''magic'' stores that sold a bunch of useless junk, while saying they were magic in some way.
However, despite this, Jack still decides to ask ''Anyway you can prove that these items are magic, or am I wasting my time here?'' the storekeeper says ''Naturally! After all, not everyone believes in magic'' he gestures for Jack to follow ''There are two bowels of water here, taking a sip of the one of the left will make you 5 years younger, and the one on the right will make you 5 years older, take a sip of one of them, and then the other to change back''.
Jack wasn't convinced, but the water looked regular enough, so he decided to take a sip of the left one, almost immideatly, he felt himself shrinking, until he looked to be about 11, his clothes had also changed to a set of much more childish clothes ''As you can see, the magic in the items sold here is quite real! We sell a variety of items here, that all change you in some way, this store is for people looking for a new life, or those just wanting to have fun for a night as someone else''.
While the storekeeper had been talking, Jack had already taken a sip of the other bowl, changing him back to a 16 year old, along with changing back his clothes ''Wow, honestly didn't expect that to work, but, I have to ask, how will I know what the individual items do? Wasn't much indication that these bowls would age me up or down''. ''Each item has a label on it that will give you a good idea of what it actually does, but, if you want more details, simply ask me!''
Jack looked around the store, curious if there was anything that could help him get Sofie, or simply take Rick out of the picture, he slowly walked past each shelf of items, until something finally caught his glance...
