Matt looks at the ball then outside. It's nice and sunny, not too hot or cold either, just perfect. He also remembers the relaxing warmth that the ball radiates after being left in the sun for a few hours. Matt knows he wants to experience that.
He clicks the 'laying on the field.' His heart races so hard he feels like he's going to have a heart attack. His breathing becomes fast, deep and like he is panting. An inanimate transformation is something that shouldn't even be possible, much less something your mind should adapt to. He takes a deep breath a selects confirm.
Matt runs to the middle of his room and strips naked. Everything below his head goes stiff. He twists his neck to look at the computer screen. It says , 'Duration not selected. Auto select permanent.' Matt sighs without too much care, "Well I guess I don't have much of a choice." His skin suddenly turns into brown stitched leather and he begins to inflate. While inflating he also shrinks down to size. His head is sucked in. Wilson forms on his stitched leather skin and his hair turns white, becoming the laces. Parts of his brown skin also turn white, becoming two white stripes on either end. Matt the football falls over onto the floor.
There is a bright flash. The surrounding environment shifts to a backyard with relatively short grass. Matt's point of view is just to the right of the laces. He's looking up at the clear blue sky overhead. He feels the rays of warmth from the sun shine down onto him. It's relaxing, and Matt knows that these situations are going to be among the best times now that he's a football. He's also already accepted that he isn't a pro NFL ball, or even a college one. He's a little annoyed but he knows it means he's going to spend much more time laying in a field.
