"I wish Noah was 22 years old," Samantha whispered so no one would hear.
Noah stopped talking about Transformers, and held his head saying "I'm really dizzy."
Noah then collapsed to the floor as he began to undergo a sudden transformation as his body expanded in all directions. The little boy raced through childhood and soon his limbs were beginning to stretch out as he shifted into being a preteen and then a teenager. Muscles soon filled in the lanky frame and Noah's face became less rounded and more stunningly angular. Although Noah's t-shirt, jeans, underwear, socks, and shoes all grew with him as he got older, they shifted to being something more appropriate on a 22 year old college senior, and tightened to leave little to the imagination of what was underneath the clothes.
Samantha braced herself for her own growth, grabbing onto the bed post of the bedroom they'd been thrown into to play as children, as she rose and grew old enough once again to be able to drink. Her memories of why she was off from the rest of the group in a side room while everyone else was getting ready for the wedding adjusted. As Noah began to recover and get up, with Samantha jumping to help him--upon touching him suddenly a wave of memories told her that he was her college boyfriend, younger brother to Mary who had been his mother a few minutes ago, and who had asked to talk to her alone for some reason before the wedding.
"Sam, I'm sorry, I just don't know why I just passed out like that," said Noah.
"How much water have you drunk today?" she asked immediately as if she already knew the answer.
"I had a bottle after the gym," said Noah abashedly.
"Honestly, it's a wonder you got here without passing out driving," scolded Samantha as she walked from the bedroom and into the ajoining tiny bathroom, grabbed a paper cup and filled it with water.
"Here, drink this," said Samantha as she returned to the bedroom and practically forced Noah to drink.
"Thanks," said Noah before obliging.
"What is it that couldn't wait until after the wedding that you had to see me?" asked Samantha
