"Welcome to the community circus!" A showman wearing a red jacket and white pants said as he invited people to come inside a big circus tent.
"Look!" Riley shouted while he pulled Nick's right arm. "There's a circus over there!! Come on! Let's get in!"
"Welcome boys! I see you're interested in our circus!" The showman smiled as the kids came close to him. "And you are perfectly dressed for the occasion! Please, come in."
Nick and Riley ran inside the tent until they arrive to the center area. There wasn't any place to sit nor any people.
"Where's the people? And the benches?" Nick asked as they looked concerned around them.
"Hohoho! This isn't that kind of circus!" The showman said as he entered the tent. "This is a community circus where people come to join our shows. You can join us if you wanted it!"
"But we aren't here to work. We're on vacation!" Riley said.
"Of course, this isn't a job." The man giggled. "You can stay here a night, a week, a month! It's your choice!"
"And what about our acts?" Nick said a little more enthusiastic. "I'm not talented enough for a performance."
"So, you're interested in participating, don't you?" The showman smirked. "If you want to give it a try, I'll help you with your act!"
"Cool!" Riley shouted. "I'm in! What do you say, Nick? It would be so awesome to tame a lion or mount an elephant!"
"I'm not sure..." Nick hesitated for a second before agreeing. "Umm, ok. I guess a night won't be a problem."
"Wonderful!" The showman applauded. "Now, what act will you become?"
"What do you mean with become?" Riley asked.
"Well, I could explain it but it'll be better if I show it to you!" The showman grinned as he approached to Nick. He was too close to him that Nick made a step back. "Now, presto!!"
As fast as he said his magic word, Nick turned into a lion with a big golden mane and fell on his four. Riley stared in amazement at the big cat that his friend has become, he couldn't believe if it wasn't by the white speedo that Nick was still wearing.
"Now, open your mouth kitty kitty!" The showman said as he used his hands to open Nick's feline mouth. It was full of big intimidating fangs and Riley thought he would be really scared if he didn't know it was his friend.
"Ta-dah!" The showman said while his head was inside Nick's mouth. After doing it he used his magic word again. "Presto!"
As fast as before, the lion become a kid again although he was still on four.
"Wow! That was so cool!!" Riley shouted excited.
"And your undergarment will fit you no matter how much you change!" The showman said. "Look! Presto!!"
Once again, Nick began to change but this time he became a huge elephant. As the showman said before, Nick's white speedo stretched big enough to still fit in Nick's massive ass.
"Presto!" The showman repeated and the elephant turned into a macaw who was funnily wearing a small white speedo between his legs.
"Presto! Presto! Presto!!"
Nick went from a macaw to a seal, then to a camel and finally back to human.
"Awesome!!" Riley excitedly shouted.
"I don't think so..." Nick said between gasps like if he was tired after those transformations.
"And animals aren't the only things you can become!" The showman smiled as he approached to Nick one more time. "Presto!"
Nick's arms and legs began to shorten until he looked like a midget.
"What the-?!!" Nick yelled astounded when he noticed that he was almost two feet smaller than before.
"Presto!!"
"No no no no!!" Nick tried to stop the showman but it was useless, he felt how an extra pair of legs grown behind him, he was now a tiny mantaur kid!
"Woah, Nick! Look at yourself!!" Riley said as he tried to contain his laughter.
"I prefer not..." Nick shrugged. "Can I go back to normal? Please."
"Ok, I think you already get it. Presto!" The showman said and Nick turned back to normal. "So, what act will you become?"
"Uhm, I'm not sure right now." Riley replied. "Can you give us this night to think about it?"
"Of course!" The showman said. "We're going to have a big show tonight, you can come and join us at any moment you feel ready for it!"
"That sounds fine!" Nick said as he hurried his way out of the tent. "We're going to think about it and come back if we're interested."
"Your friend seems a little anxious." The showman told Riley after Nick left the tent.
"Nah,he's just shy." Riley replied. "Hey, I was wondering... Can you teach me how to that?"
"What? My magic?"
"Yes, I want to learn to change Nick like you did! It was hilarious!!" Riley laughed.
"In fact, it's not too hard." The showman smirked. "Hmm, maybe you can join me as the director and master of ceremonies!"
"Cool!!" Riley smiled really happy.
