"What... What do you mean?" Chad stammered.
"You are looking like a kid too!" his friend exclaimed.
Chad touched his face frantically.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really!"
And indeed Chad's touches did appear to reveal to him that his facial features were softer. As if he was back in his early years of teenagehood. Panicked, he darted to a little stream and attempted to gaze at his reflection. Not an easy feat, considering the stream was small and gurgling, creating bubbles and waves to the surface that made it hard to produce a still image to peer at. Yet with all its disturbances, Chad could see that he really was younger. Rob had imitated him and arrived to the same conclusion and it must have shocked him more because he looked inside his Tarzan underwear. His eyes widened and he gaped in shock. Very nervously, Chad did the exact same and understood. He just had a few measly pubic hair down there and his privates were much, much smaller. Puny and fit for a child! In fact, he hadn't had his penis like that since he was twelve! Their muscles had melted away indeed, but so had their testosterone levels too! As well as their years! They really were getting younger!
"Kids! We're becoming kids again!" shrieked Rob.
"Yeah! What if we shrink back to babies? What then?" answered Chad.
"What's happening?!?!"
They were not only getting adapted to their new environment, they were completely changing too! And how would it end?
"We have to get back home! To our parents in the village! They'll know what do!" said Rob, all panicky now.
"Yes! Good idea! In the caves where I live, near the huts, we can..."
Chad stopped abruptly. What was he talking about? He had had a dim vision in his mind, fleet but apparently natural, of a village full of huts and different animals going about. But... Where had this come from? And why did Rob speak about such a home so naturally? What was going on? It was much too strange! Would this shrinking continue and their mind be invaded with new thoughts or memories? Where was this leading? But unbeknownst to them, things were just about to accelerate...
