Andrew couldn’t get to the Arcade fast enough. He hasn’t run into any more sexual problems last night but he was getting a bit annoyed at his new life. His parents were constantly asking him if he had received his acceptation letters from the universities he had applied to and Bruce’s phone would nonstop ring from the notifications of his all his friends and teammates texting him.
Andrew decided he was going to switch back with Bruce. Bruce’s life was just too stressful! Andrew just wanted to go back to being a very hung 12 year old again. There was also the problem with the gay intrusive thoughts that kept making his way into his mind. As Andrew entered the Arcade he made his way to the back room to see the door closed and a sign stating “CLOSED FOR REPAIRS” taped onto it.
“Oh no!” Andrew yelled as he ran to the front desk of the Arcade. A man with a beard and a tag labeled manager sat behind the counter glazing at his phone before noticing Andrew.
“Can I help you sir?” The man asked him.
“Yea. I was wondering if you knew what happened to the back room and when it’s going to be fixed.” Andrew asked with a hint of panic in his voice.
“Sorry but some of the arcade machines broke down yesterday. Apparently a bunch of coins got wedged into them. They owner decided to close off the entire room while the machines are being repaired.” The man said not hiding his disinterest in the conversation.
Andrew began to panic internally! Without the Wish Machine Andrew was stuck living as Bruce! Andrew then realized he could try to find a similar machines in the rest of the Arcade but as he explored the Arcade, Andrew realized that all the Arcade machines were normal, only granting tickets. It seemed that only the Wishing Machine in the back was capable of granting wishes, the rest of the arcade was surprisingly normal, much to Andrew’s displeasure.
Andrew headed back home and realized that if didn’t find a way to reverse the changes he could be stuck living Bruce’s life.
