Alex finally finished his homework and packed it up in his backpack. He left the school and started walking home. His house was many blocks away and so he had a long walk ahead.
As he walked, a cop car driving by slowed and pulled parallel to Alex. It was Officer Nate Wood, who patrolled his neighborhood.
“Hey, Alex! You headed home?” Officer Wood called out.
Alex smiled and waved. “Yes, Officer Wood!”
“Do you want a ride?”
“Thanks!” Alex moved and climbed into the passenger seat of the car, the ring starting to glow subtly as he did.
Officer Nate Wood was known as the local hot cop. At 32, he was 5’10” and a ripped 180 pounds. His handsome face was accentuated by short, curly black hair and a closely trimmed black beard.
This influenced the ring as it began to transform Alex. Without either he or Wood noticing, he began to inch up in his seat, taller and taller, going from 5’4” to 6’7”. His somewhat shaggy brown hair shrank to a short crew cut and turned straight golden blond. Alex’s face became much more chiseled and sexy, as he aged from 15 to 24, but remained clean-shaven.
“So how’s your love life going, Alex?” Nate asked. The mental changes were setting in before the physical changes were completed. Alex would have been taken aback moments before, but now he just smiled in a somewhat cocky way.
Before he could answer, his muscles swelled everywhere. His pecs rose like baking bread, his stomach carved into washboard abs, his biceps became like melons. His weight climbed from 120 to 240. His clothes morphed into a police uniform, his backpack into a shoulder holster and pistol.
“Oh, it’s going great, man! I get all the girls a guy could ever want,” Officer Alex Edwards responded. He unbuttoned the top of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and flexed a thick bicep. “After all, who doesn’t want a piece of this?”
Nate rolled his eyes. He liked his junior partner, but the guy needed to not be so brash and cocky all the time. He’d learn eventually. Nate himself had found the joy of starting a family, but he wondered about Alex ever doing the same.
The ring ceased glowing on Alex’s finger.
