"You know what?" Ty said.
"What?" Dustin asked.
"I have a better idea," Ty said, "but I think our friends should know."
After using his power to change Dustin back to normal, the two waited until Mark and June had left. The boys did not want the secret to get out to any adults, and as soon as they left, Dustin and Ty called their friends. They planned to meet together on June 21st--the summer solstice.
When that day came, June and Mark had left on a vacation, knowing that Dustin and Ty could be left alone. Plus, thanks to Ty's power, neither adult noticed that their foster son had changed himself, nor were they aware of what was going on in their backyard. Ty and Dustin stood before their friends--Peter, Allen, Steven, Jake, Mason, Damion, Leo, Donnie, Ralph, Mikey, and other friends that this chapter does not have time to mention specifically by name.
Ty's plan was thus: a circumnavigation of the globe before sunset tomorrow on June 22nd--the longest days of the year--to see if one can go around the world (in matters of sunlight) in one day. Some friends claimed that Ty was ripping off an episode from a popular TV show, and he himself admitted that he was in a way. However, with his new power, Ty and Dustin believed that they could do it. Realizing that they determined to complete their record-setting feat, several of their friends wanted to come along: in the end, only Peter, Allen, Leo, Donnie, Ralph, and Mikey would make the cut.
After Ty wished up an aircraft for them, the group took off, leaving their remaining friends behind to come back at sunset at 9:12 pm tomorrow--the team's deadline.
