The next day was the weekend.
TJ and Doug got up at 7:00am, and had breakfast and washed, and got dressed.
TJ put on a white shirt, his blue jacket, brown cropped trousers, white socks, and his red baseball shoes, whereas Doug put on a yellow button-down shirt, black pants, brown socks, and white sneakers.
They made themselves a picnic lunch, got into Doug’s car, and drove off to the country, for their secret monster day out.
When they arrived, Doug saw on his watch that the time was now 9:30am.
15 minutes till they transformed into monsters.
They both went out on a walk in the country, down towards the river.
Once they got to the river, Doug checked his watch.
9:40am.
Now they had 5 minutes to the transformation.
They went to a covered glade hidden by bushes, where Doug was sure nobody would see him and his son transforming.
Doug checked his watch. 9:44.
One minute to go.
In just a minute, Doug and TJ were going to transform into monsters.
Doug was almost giddy with excitement, as was TJ.
THEY WATCHED THE ‘seconds to next minute’ TIMER on Doug’s watch COUNT DOWN.
10.... 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
The watch read 9:45am.
