After finishing off enough food to feed at least a small family by himself, Ed planned to flee to his room intending to change everything back to the way it was originally. Unfortunately, his mother stopped him, reminding him that he had to help with cleaning up after the meal. Thankfully, Ed was able to hide his surprise, especially when Jacob also started to help without being prompted.
With the dishes done, Ed headed for the stairs claiming he had homework. Unfortunately, this was when Jacob grabbed him and dragged him to the garage. At first, Ed was not sure why, but stepping into the room, he found a large amount of exercise equipment. Before he could even argue, Jacob forced Ed to take off his shirt and started using some of the free weights. Taking off his own shirt, Jacob joined Ed doing his own workout routine.
At first, Ed was a little uncomfortable not wearing a shirt. Sure he might look like someone in their early twenties with eight pack abs, wide shoulders, think legs and arms and a very hairy body, but Ed was still not comfortable yet in this new body. He was made even more anxious when he noticed that he was now well over six feet tall. But after exercising for about twenty minutes, Ed counted himself lucky to not be hampered by a shirt. Not only was it hot in the garage, but neither his body hair did not help him keep cool.
It was almost two hours later when Jacob finally called a stop. While at first Ed had only wanted to get up to his room, now he was enjoying the ache of his muscles, and when he stood in front of the mirror set up in the garage, he was able to enjoy not only his musculature, but how much for masculine all of his body hair made him.
After a quick shower, Ed walked into his room and over to his computer. After going through the workout, Ed did not want to change back into the small kid he use to be, but just looking at the clothes in his closet and remembering his naked father, he knew that something needed to be altered.
Looking through the Chronivac program, Ed was finally able to find where he could change the world to fit the new bodies of his family. There were a few options. He could change the world so only his mind would not be effected or he could change himself to various degrees so he could fit more easily into his new life.
