Of the three Ender children, you've only grown close to the two you babysit. There's a third one who is much older than the rest of his siblings. Finnick Ender - a 19-year-old guy who goes to the same university as you did. Even if you had the privilege to babysit for the Enders, the times you've seen him could be counted with the fingers of your hand. He has the typical blonde hair like the rest of the Enders but what sets him apart is his ethereal green eyes. Even though you are older, he is an inch taller with a built body to match it with. This is kind of surprising since rumor has it that the guy is hella smart. This is already proven since last you've checked his name in the school registry, he is not in the undergraduates but he is currently obtaining his Doctorate. You could only imagine how studious that guy is which is probably the reason why he rarely leaves his room.
As much as you wanted to try the magical socks on Caleb and Mac, your curiosity is drawn to the mystery that surrounds Finnick. You walked upstairs where Finnick's bedroom stays shut except for the hushed hum of classical music on the other side. In front of the door are sandals likely belonging to Finn. You picked it off and sped to the bathroom where you tested the legibility of these socks.
Behind closed doors, you wore the thin white socks that are already starting to yellow with age. You begin to wonder whether it has been used before. You set aside those thoughts for now as you wore the sandals. They are a little bit small but posed no problem when you squeezed your feet further. Until something drastic happened.
You thought it was just a trick of the light but you swear you saw your feet shrink to fit the sandals perfectly. You blink your eyes to recompose your lucidity, but what you are seeing is real. When the old man at the counter said these socks would allow you to change into other people, you expected that the change would be slow - not whatever comical effect is happening right now.
The first things that changed were your legs, which you are closer to the feet. Your legs stretched a little bit and every thicket of hair fell off and turned into dust that dissipated into nothingness. In their place, thin fibrils of brown hair blossomed. They are smooth to the touch, like the original leg hairs that were left untouched. The next change came for your member who stretched a full three inches. The skin on the shaft curdled and bubbled on top of your forehead, which eventually formed into an uncircumcised foreskin. Your hunch was right! The Enders, being the progressives they are, are the kind of parents that would leave the choice of circumcision to their children. And I guess, Finn chose not to snip his foreskin.
After your dick lengthened and your balls turned larger and sagged a bit as a result, the wave of transformation came for your torso. Your stomach, which has the growing signs of a beer gut, deflated and grew tighter to reveal abdominal muscles within. Changes have already happened but you still cannot believe these blessings of the physique bestowed on you. These are your abs! Real rock-hard abs. But the blessings continue to happen. The hairs on your chest, and the freckles below disappeared into nothing. Then the wave of bubbling flesh started from both shoulders then down to the fingers where it made your arms beefier with delicate pink-tipped fingers a cherry to the cake.
You walked to the mirror for the last major changes where you saw the wave do its finishing touches. Your lips thinned and made pink. Your cheeks made even whiter, flushed pink from the coldness of the bathroom. One blink and your eyes are brown, then the other - the ethereal green. Orbs of jade that you could lose your attention in. And that's what happened. If you didn't feel the pop from your head, as your dark hair jumped from its sockets and turned you bald, you wouldn't notice the final change. Your hair exploded into a million fibers which turned to dust then nothing. From where the follicles used to stand, blond fibers grew and clumped into a short-cropped hairdo.
And just like that, you've turned into the famed savant from the Enders household. In the mirror, Finnick Enders stared with bewildered eyes and a gaping mouth. Even though you look like Finnick, the mannerisms aren't like his. Your back is slouched and you are still wearing your clothes which stretches a bit since Finn's body is larger.
