Ian examined his pockets for the third time before he admitted the truth. The medallion was missing! He had already checked the bathroom so he expected to have dropped it on his way to the bathroom. Ian peered out the door and saw a clerk placing the medallion behind the counter. Ian ran up to him and said in a high pitched voice "Wait! that's mine"
The clerk looked at him before shrugging "Sorry kid but I saw some teen drop it. I'm just waiting for him to come back and get it" he said. Ian began to worry. He needed the medallion to turn back into himself. If not he was looking at a one way trip back to second grade. Suddenly Ian got an idea and smiled from his sudden burst of cleverness.
"Actually my older brother asked me to get it. I was letting him borrow it and he said he lost it" Ian lied. The clerk raised an eyebrow but he was too apathetic and gave Ian back the medallion. "Thank you sir" Ian said placing the medallion in his pocket. "Whatever kid" the clerk said going on his phone. Ian raced out the door of the gas station and back to his car. "Now that I know how this medallion works I need to be careful" Ian thought. The medallion turned Ian into the previous occupant of any clothes he came into contact with. If the clothing was new and suited for a different body or age, the medallion would alter Ian's body, no matter who he was at the moment, to fit the new clothing.
He placed all the clothes he had bought into bags and placed it with his camping gear in the back. They were in three different plastic bags. One was full of his "normal" clothes for his original body. One had clothes suited for Kyle. And the last one had a plethora of random clothes he had bought from the store in town.
Since Ian had driven into a small town and it was only six in the morning, Ian had time to move his car. Using the mirrors Ian was still able to drive in his much smaller form but just with more difficulty. There were still a few mistakes and Ian was thankful no one was on the road. After all it would be odd to see a eight year old boy driving in clothes four sizes too big for him. Driving back to the remote forest he had slept at overnight, Ian parked the car under some trees and began to wait.
"I might as well go to sleep" Ian said after spending a few hours on his phone. Ian laid in the backseat and didn't wake until the next morning at nine. When Ian awoke he immediately began to take off all his clothes and placed them in the front seat. Now naked, Ian looked over the three bags that contained the clothes he had collected and dumped them outside on the grass. Since the medallion only allowed him to change once a day he would have to make an important decision. Ian had made sure that he had parked far away from any houses so he wouldn't have to worry about being seen. He jumped out of the care and wearing the medallion he touched...
