Jim suddenly got an idea. If he wanted to change his family, why not go straight to the source: his parents? Although they had married young, at 22, and had Scott at 25, they were both now 52 years old. By the time Jim graduated, they'd be 58, and when their last children did, they would be 62! Due to their age, they didn't do much physical with the kids still living at home, and they were very cerebral (Dad was a doctor and Mom was a lawyer).
Jim decided to change them and see what happened. First, he said, "Control my parents' ages," with the balloon still fairly full. He let out air for a while before releasing. Next he altered his dad's athleticism, then both his parents' attractiveness. After the final release, the changes began so quickly and intensely that Jim passed out from the ripple effect.
When Jim opened his eyes, he began to scan his memories for what was different. To his astonishment, that encompassed just about everything.
Firstly, his parents were both 36. Scott was no longer their son, but Dad's younger brother.
The way they ended up together was also different. His father had been a handsome young boy, who quickly proved his sports prowess, especially in football. His mother had been a beautiful young girl, who cheered and played volleyball. At 14, before high school, while Dad played youth football and Mom was a cheerleader, they had been dumb and Mom had ended up giving birth to Matthew.
Evicted from their homes by angry parents, the 2 had been forced to pay their way through high school, but they had survived, even ending up as prom king and queen their senior year. They had married straight out of high school.
Dad had been noticed by colleges who wanted him to play football, which he did at UCLA while studying medicine. Mom also studied for law school during this time. At 19, they had Isaac and at 22 they had Wyatt and David.
Now Dad ended up as an NFL quarterback and Mom got a job as a model, while Dad modeled on the side. They'd had those top-dollar jobs ever since and had become rich.
They had also blessed all their kids with excellent genes and a passion for fitness and sports. All of the kids played football and some did other sports, like gymnastics or baseball.
Jim began to check out his reflection. His face was extremely handsome, angelic even, with his perfect blond hair and blue eyes. He was very muscular, with a 6-pack and big chest and arms. Jim thought he was going to enjoy this new life.
