Hector Teague was a thirty-year-old man the owned and operated a successful print shop. He remembered working so hard to get this far, working his ass off in college, interning with many different companies, the gamble of starting up his own shop. It was a lot of work and energy drinks, but it was all worth it in the end. Although, Hector still had his regrets. He took a look at the posters a customer made for the new gym that was opening up around here and sighed. All that work didn't leave him much time for exercise, well, at least that's what the shop owner told himself. He was always a thin man, but the lack of exercise really took a toll on his body, and now he had a gut on him. Hector took another look at the poster again, specifically at the male model on it. The way his muscles bulged, his abs rippled, was it possible for him to look like this someday? Hector thought. Well, either way, he probably should hit the gym sometimes, less his gut got any bigger.
Before he could think about this more, the shop owner's train of thought was interrupted when he saw his nephew, Luis, entered the store. "Oh hey, Luis, good to see you," Hector greeted his nephew, "So, what brings you here?"
"It's good to see you to Uncle Hector. I just need help with a school project." Luis lied. Luis had regressed back to his normal because he wanted to test the Leeching Cube's capabilities on his uncle. The nephew was aware his uncle wanted to get back into shape, and perhaps the Leeching Cube could assist in that.
"Okay, why don't you go into the break room and set up while I handle some customers, okay?" Hector was referring to the two men that came in after Luis, who looked vaguely familiar for some reason. Unkown to the shop owner, it was actually Billy and his brother but now adults. Anyway, Luis headed to the break room and into the employee bathroom. There he pulled out the Leeching cube...
It wasn't long before Hector entered the break room, as all those two men wanted were directions. Though once he arrived at the break room, Luis was nowhere to be seen. Hector just shrugged it off as Luis was probably in the bathroom. However, before he could think about this more, his pants suddenly fell down. The shop owner was so confused why that happened until he realized that his pants fell down because his gut was gone. Rushing to the nearest mirror, Hector was surprised once more. His face was less weathered and lacked the slight wrinkled he had. He recognized this face; it was the same face he had when he was in college. Had he somehow regressed ten years and back to his college days, but how? It wasn't long before he got his answer as the bathroom door opened and out came an adult Luis.
"Man, I know it's only been an hour, but I really missed being in my muscle bod," Luis said as he flexed one of his biceps.
Hector was absolutely speechless; how was this all happening? The two men he gave directions then came into the break room smiling; it seems like they were in on this, too. "Lewis, what's going on? D-did you do this to me?"
"Yes, I did. I used this cube here to change our ages, and I wanted to test something. See these muscles?" Lewis asked as he flexed his arm one more time. "I got these by working out before I used the cube, but I want to make sure that was actually the case, and that's where you come in. My friend Daniel will take you to the gym and work out, and after you're finished, we used the cube to return you back to your original age. If it works, you'll become as buff like me. So what do you say? Sounds like a plan?"
It certainly was a tempting offer. Hector thought it over for a few seconds before giving his answer.
