The next day, Terry got up bright and early, thankful that they'd all gotten their affairs taken care of so they could wait it out until the thing that could return them to their proper ages - or something close to that - got there. It was quite an experience that last night trying to get some sleep in Jess' place in and among his regressed friends and associates...and possibly a new girlfriend. He and Sarah had made out a bit more, but didn't go any further than more kissing. Terry didn't want to chance any embarrassments on his part, and Sarah was cautious about fooling around too much. Still, it was all Terry could manage to not at least try.
There was also the noise from across the hall. Duke had apparently tried to work himself off and it took him a while to actually complete the task. And apparently Jess scolded him a bit for being so loud and noisy about it; that if he wanted to take care of himself he really should be more quiet about it and not subject everyone else to his choices in words. And that scolding was the last thing Terry had overheard before drifting off to bed.
Waking up in the morning, he pushed himself out of bed - he was back to feeling energetic and ready to go take on the world, but then, that was normal at the age he was now. He entered the kitchen to see a nonchalant Jess cooking up a meal for a sullen Duke. Terry walked over to his best friend and asked, "What's up?"
"Sarah won't stop teasin' me about how I sounded last night..." He pouted as Sarah intoned from her own spot at the table...
""Ooh baby you're too much for The D!"" Sarah cackled outloud and slapped her knee, then turned and looked at Terry, "Hey Muscles, think you could help me out and get that---yeah..."
Terry went and got her some seasonings from one of the top shelves, earning him a peck on the cheek from Sarah and a scowl from Duke. He looked over at Duke with a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't well help it. He smelled something good and Jess brought over some fresh cooked bacon, chicken and beef for him and Duke.
"Protein for the growing jocks." Duke forgot his misgivings earlier and immediately dug into his food, while Terry took his seat with his own plate and looked over at Sarah. "Nice and spicy - enjoy!"
"So, uhh, you wanna do something today?" Terry asked as he took some experimental bites of the food. Surprisingly good, he thought to himself, and settled into eating larger bites. He was enjoying the spices, and he guessed the regression had not dampened Jess' abilities to cook. He would've never figured she had such a talent, but then, he guessed they were all way too fixated on social politics and stuff in their younger years to really ask. "I mean we've got a lot of time before the countermeasure gets here, and I-I kinda wanna..."
Duke remarked from his seat, "What can you two even do at this age? We're shrunken, we're not able to do much, and we can't go far."
Sarah wanted to say something to the effect of telling Duke to fuck off, but she did realize he had a point. She really wanted to go somewhere nice and fun with Terry, enjoy their energy at this age...but she couldn't think of a place that involved that without needing parental presence...
However apparently Terry remembered something, and asked in an excited tone, "Ohh! I remember something! Sarah, will you go with me to that one new Water Park opening up? Free walk ins, for a limited time!" He was glad he remembered it, because he always wanted to go to the park.
It'd be a comparatively easy task to get some nice and cheap swimsuits, and they could have some good fun there. Terry was getting himself excited for it, and he could see Sarah was likewise feeling good about it.
Sarah finished her meal and nodded enthusiastically, "Of course Terry! Let's go at the afternoon. This should be so fun!"
Duke wondered if he and Jess could go do anything or if he might end up being stuck here. He wanted to go and have some fun too, but...he just couldn't think of something to do.
