Marcus ran to his room, locking it, he was furious and jealous in equal amounts, how could Dennis just go and stole his age! He was always kind to both him and Benny, for Oliver if nothing else, and now he was stuck like this, a weak little boy.
The worst part was that he was always a late bloomer, it was not until he was 16 that he truly started putting on muscle and height, to have to go through all that again, Marcus also found it weird, how such a skinny guy with no interest in sports as Marcus could grow to be such an stud, in just six years.
Marcus cried, but he knew he needed to do something before it would become too late, he called Benji back, hoping the smarter boy could find a way out of this mess.
Marcus heard someone knock on the door, "Marcus, is me Benji, I think I got a way to fix this."
Marcus jumped from his bed, opening the door so fast Benny almost fell down.
"How? I thought the Pubertaway only worked on teenager, Marcus is 23 now, it should not work on him anymore!
"That is just what the publicity says, for security reasons, in truth adults use it all the time, but there are sometimes weird side effects, not that it matters now that the idiot used it to age himself into adulthood."
And with that they quickly sneaked back into the living room, there a hypnotized Oliver was transfixed with Dennis, who still was flexing his hard muscles with his shirt off, getting off on the respect, lust and fear in the eyes of his once taller best friend, now a shrimp compared to him.
They put the Pubertaway, fixing it on Dennis, they hoped it would work fast enough to drain him of his stolen years before he noticed something wrong.
They were growing desperate by the minute, not noticing a single change in the stud, until they noticed that the vial was filling up.
Both Marcus and Benji were flabbergasted when it fully filled, taking away the 8 years he stole, while Benji was still much more muscular than before.
They noticed some changes, his body hair retreated, his height reduced by a bit, although he was still taller than before, and his muscles were just a tiny bit smaller.
"Why did nothing happened!" Screamed little Marcus, sounding more and more like a whining brat than the leader he used to be.
The scream finally broke Dennis from his self-worshiping session, he was as surprised as everyone else, specially when he looked at the Pubertaway
"Hah, it looks like you failed, dumbass, your toy did not work, I still got my age!"
I knew something like this could happen," said Benji, "it worked, Dennis, or did you not notice it? You are 15 years old again, you are a bit shorter and less hairy, but when you took Marcus age, you did not only stole his age, but also his puberty itself, this is why you are not supposed to age yourself over 19, malfunctions happen, you were never suppose to grow to become so big."
"Wait, does that mean I will stay like this?" Asked Dennis, a giant grin plastered on his face, he flexed his now slightly smaller guns, making everyone else in the room flush.
"This is your body now, Dennis, your genes permanently changed now, even if you went down to 10 years old you would grow back to this state in five years." Explained Benji, growing more and more annoyed.
"But wait, what will happen to me then? Will I be stuck like this?" Asked a scared Marcus, before running to the bathroom with the vial, closing it.
