Jacob looked at the young blonde boy and then back to the woman. "If I joined Andrew, could I be his identical twin? Or is it just age changes?"
The question seemed to take the woman back a moment, but then she looked amused. "I have to admit that is not a question I was expecting. An identical twin? I don't think that has ever come up before." She tapped her chin with one finger, then said "Wait here a moment, all of you. I need to check on this." She walked out, pulling the door shut behind her.
"Are you out of your mind?" Andy stared at him. "You want to be even younger? Look at me! I'm skinny and weak and years from puberty!"
Shrugging, Dan replied "I want to see just how much control they have over us. And having an identical twin could be fun, especially if you accept things instead of fighting them. They just made you younger with no contact. That means some sort of remote control over your physical form. Over all of us. I don't know how or why they do it, but I am sure gonna cooperate as much as I can. Not just to keep from being punished. If they can do bad things, they can also do good things, right? Play the game!"
Andy frowned a moment, but then looked down at himself and sighed. "Yeah, I guess you are right."
The others also nodded. A minute later the door opened and the woman returned, a smile on her face. "Jacob and Andy, I want you to stand up against the wall there." She pointed to the far side, and the two boys did as asked. "You made some very good points, Jacob. Yes, we were observing you. Allow me to demonstrate."
