Brandon thought quickly, "I wish I was as small and weak as you are?" inverting his wish to return things to normal. The ring pulsed but no changes came. "I wish you'd undo what you did to me and Ryan's dad?" again acknowledgement but no change.
Ryan and Adam looked on with mounting concern. Ryan offered, "When we looked it up, I think I remember it saying wishes are permanent between two people. So you will need to go about it a different way I think."
Brandon quickly gathered from his mature body and Adam's immature body that the obvious answer was, "I wish we would swap ages!"
Unfortunately, Brandon had the size and build of an adult, because that's what he wished for initially. A few more seconds of reasoning would have rendered a different conclusion as Adam still had body hair, beard stubble and, although higher due to his diminished frame, an adult voice.
"Idiot, no!" Ryan rebuked, but it was too late.
Brandon aged 25 years, the well trained body he had continued its path to body builder status growing in height as puberty finished, leaving him 6 inches taller and body and facial hair became a thing Brandon now had to deal with. Adam on the other hand became a weak and frail version of his former self being reduced to an immature form as he shrunk.
"I meant say height and weight, but that won't work now." Ryan moaned.
"Oh no, I don't want to be old!" Brandon looked to Ryan and Adam for comfort but only found contempt in their returned stares.
