“Hold on to the pack of thumbtacks, will you?” Sergio said to Derrick, who was standing besides the ladder. Sergio was tacking the big, colorful poster to the wall, and his brother Sergio was assisting him, when Ty and Allen walked up. The boys were standing in the hallway across from the administrative office of the high school, and they were hanging up posters which were promoting a new bodybuilding competition.
“Hey Allen, check this out…” Ty said, while pointing at the poster, which showed the silhouette of a bodybuilder and had big, red letters printed across the two foot by 3 foot poster. “Orange County Teen Bodybuilding Contest” he read out loud.
“Awesome! And look down below! First Prize: One thousand Dollars in cash!” Allen said excitedly! “What can we do to win this thing, Ty? I need a new computer!”
“Well,” Ty replied calmly, “We need a bodybuilder! I can take care of that! Do you want to muscle up for the afternoon?” Ty said with a chuckle.
“No! Not me! I don’t want to get up on stage and parade around the room, showing off my muscles!” Allen replied angrily.
“Why not?” Ty wondered out loud.
“I get nervous when I’m on stage. We need someone else. Someone who doesn’t have stage fright!” he replied back.
“How about Dustin?” Ty asked him.
“Dustin’s too skinny! Besides, we already used Dustin last year! We need somebody else.” Allen replied, thinking out loud.
“How about Ryan?” Ty asked him next. “He’s already got muscles!”
“Ryan’s too young…” Allen responded, reading at the bottom of the poster that the minimum age requirement was fourteen years old. “Besides, Ryan’s already too big!”
“How about… Peter?” Ty said, while snapping his fingers.
“Yes! You know how much I love to make Peter grow!” Allen shouted excitedly.
“I can help you out with that! How about this: I wish for Peter to grow one foot taller and gain two hundred pounds of muscle every time he sees you?” Ty said with a chuckle.
“Are you serious?” Allen wondered.
“Sure! Here he comes now! Look closely!” Ty said, pointing at Peter, who was making his way down the hall from the back entrance of the building.
“Hey guys… What’s going on… WHOA!” Peter said, as he felt his body stiffen up.
Ty and Allen just giggled as they stood there and watched Peter grow.
Peter grew in height first! His legs began to stretch out, making Peter slowly rise up as he went from being a 6 foot 3 inches tall teen to a 7 foot and 3 inches tall giant! His arms grew longer as well, and his torso stretched out proportionally. Then his hands and his feet inflated as well! Luckily he was only wearing sandals, but Allen and Ty noted how his feet grew wider and his toes grew longer!
“What is this? What are you guys doing to me?” Peter said, as he was now looking down at the two teens.
“You’ll see! Now, you need to grow some muscle next!” Ty chuckled.
“Huh?” Peter replied. Then Peter felt a sudden tingling feeling in all his muscles…
