Luke and Richard finally arrived at Luke’s house where they got something to drink and enjoyed some time hanging out before they retreated to Luke’s bedroom. Luke had two beds, so both boys could sleep in the same, large bedroom.
“We should put this thing to the test, Ricky” Luke said, as he held up his amulet, which hung from a steel cord which was tight around his neck. “See if it really works!”
“I don’t believe in that crap!” Richard spat. “You wasted your money on that nonsense!”
“Well, if it works then it will only be used to improve your body! Let’s start with you getting rid of your beer belly!” Luke giggled.
Luke always poked fun at Richard for being the shorter, chubby one while Luke was tall, skinny and more athletic. Richard was short, stocky and he was slightly overweight.
“I don’t drink beer!” Richard protested.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Richard’s round belly began to deflate like a large balloon which had its air let out. His belly shrunk down until Richard suddenly had a ripped set abdominal muscles over his stomach, like he had been doing crunches for weeks!
“Ohhh, well would you look at that! Ricky has abs!” Luke smiled.
“Whaah!” Richard gasped as he looked down. His belly was GONE! Not only did it shrink, but he now had ABS! For the first time ever, Ricky had a six-pack! “What the hell?”
“See? I told you it would work! You’re already looking much better, Ricky!”
“What! I mean… How… How did you do that? What the heck?” Richard just stuttered as he ran his hand over his washboard abs for the first time. “Unbelievable!”
“That’s only the beginning, big guy. I’m gonna fix you up. We need more players on the soccer team, on the wrestling team, the swim team and on the football team! We need you!” Luke grinned. “Get ready to play some sports!”
“What? Say what?” Richard said, as he began to feel an odd tingling all over his body as Luke rubbed his fingers over his amulet.
