Steve and Joey were dressing up for school. Everything was a competition for this 8 year old boys. It's quite impressive that they didn't look alike at all despite they're twins. Steve was quickly putting his shirt on while Joey was pulling his pants up.
When Joey was going to pick his shoes, he found the odd candle that he bought in the Ointment Store. He remembered what he had done to his brother and although he liked to bond with him and they play all the time, Joey felt bad for changing Steve's life without his consent.
“What's going on Joey?” Steve asked him as he had already finished dressing up. “You look sad.”
“I was thinking of a friend.” Joey said. “He's gone and maybe I won't see him again in a while.”
“A friend? Do I know him?”
“Kind of. He's...” Joey was doubting to say it but he said anyways. “He was you.”
“Huh? But I'm here!”
“Yes, but I'm talking about the other you. The older one.” Joey took the candle and started to explain it all to his brother.
“Let me understand. I was 16 years old but I was so stressed that you used a magic candle to turn me back into a child?” Steve said. “Ha!! That's a good one! Where do you take that story? A movie?”
“But it's true. I don't know how it works but it seems that you forget you were a teenager a few days ago.” Joey said.
“If I was a teenager why my clothes are small and mom and everyone thinks I'm a kid?” Steve said. “This joke is going to far...”
“I don't know why the whole world changed. You even had a girlfriend and...”
“Yuuuck! Why did I have a girlfriend?” Steve interrupted his brother. “Girls are gross!!”
“That's because you was a teenager. You used to have stinky hairy armpits that you put deodorant on and you knew how to drive and stuff!” Joey didn't know what to say to convince his brother.
“Ok, ok. Calm down!” Steve said. “What do you think if we go to that Ointment Store you said after school? If that's true then I'll believe you that I was a... uhm... stinky hairy teenager... with a girlfriend.”
“Deal.” Joey agreed. “And you wasn't that stinky... you just was hairy...”
