As Cody turned to look at the horrified teens turned boys with glee, he was jolted back to reality by the loud ringing of Johns cell phone.
It was his parents, but he had to answer as John.
“Hello?” He asked, nervously.
“Hey John! We’re on our way back. Should be about 30 minutes. See y’all soon! Thanks again!” His Mom said.
Cody darted back into the bathroom. “We’ve got to clean this all up! My parents are coming back!”
Everyone started moving. The teens in boy bodies dried off and put on more age appropriate clothing, while the boys in teen bodies set most of the house into roughly the order Cody’s parents would expect.
It was nearing the time of arrival when the teens in boy bodies confronted their captors.
“Cody, you guys have had your fun. But your parents will be here soon and we need to put this right. You can’t just take our lives over!” John said, defiantly. It was odd since despite being an athletic and strong young man in his normal body, he was currently occupying a towheaded little boy body with brilliant blue eyes and a mouth half-filled with baby teeth.
“If we go back then you’ll never stop tormenting us. And I like the way your body feels!” Cody barked back. Seb and Liam nodding agreement. They went from 10 to 16 in the last few hours, suddenly controlling bodies that were developed, lean and much stronger than theirs. Liam was happy to be free from his thin, shrimpy body. Seb was more neutral, but he wanted to drive and this new body was a way to get behind a cars steering wheel.
The others started bickering but Cody looked John right in the eyes. “Enjoy 5th grade.”
John felt the blood drain from his face. Cody turned and shooed the teen bodies of his friends out the door. They had to leave, which left him and his friends behind with just Cody.
Cody busied himself with cleaning up and preparing for his parents to arrive. Sebs parents arrive before Cody’s and took Will to his new home. It was just David and John now.
After a while, Cody’s parents showed up and Cody in Johns body received their payment. He then took Will away to drop him off at Liams house. He didn’t leave without flashing John an evil grin, however.
After pretending to be Cody by hugging and greeting his “parents” John dashed up to Cody’s room and took stock of his situation. He was trapped in a 10 years body. Looking in a mirror, he felt his smooth cheeks, slightly rosy. Not a hair on his chin, which bothered him since his own body was now just starting to get facial hair.
He felt his new hair, which was soft and parted to the left. He dug through Cody’s dressers to see what he’d be wearing. His wardrobe was a lot of baseball style tee-shirts and jeans or shorts. Cody was into baseball, which at least John could relate to.
After a while of taking stock, John was told to go to bed, after brushing his teeth. Sliding into the tiny twin bed, John was apprehensive... tomorrow he’d have to go to school as Cody...
