Dan opened his eyes; he found himself lying on a couch, in what he assumed to be the office of the NeoLife rep. And when he raised his hands, he found them bigger; the size for a boy well past toddlerhood. Unable to remember his childish tantrum episodes, he found himself wondering what had happened.
Seeing that he's awake, the rep briefly glanced at him before going back to writing her notes.
"Rise and shine, Dan! I bet you have a lot of questions right now." she greeted.
"I do. What have you done to me?" He asked. The woman motioned to a mirror in response, so he promptly hopped off the couch with energy he hasn't felt in years. When he saw his reflection, he took a few steps back, processing what he saw - a young version of himself. As if his old pictures from the family album came to life. He had his old short, yet unkempt haircut which was several shades lighter. A dusting of freckles across the bridge of his nose, and baby fat replacing years of bodybuilding.
"We didn't have enough time to pick the right outfit for you, but we figured it was typical for an 8-year-old." She said, referring to his outfit made up of a pair of Pokémon-themed velcro shoes, cargo shorts, and a red t-shirt covered by cartoonish illustrations.
"Eight?" Dan asked
"You heard right we gave you back six years of your life, a worthy compromise. We've also set you up with your old school."
Furthermore, she said:
"It was obvious you weren't very receptive to your initial results, and to avoid any complications, we decided to make this adjustment."
Dan suspected there was more to it than that. Were there more changes awaiting the dumbfounded eight-year-old?
