Jake enjoyed every single day as a lizard, Zak was the kind of friend he never had before, they played chasing each other’s tails, catching bugs, running through the garden, climbing the tallest trees…
But today was the last day before reality adjusts back to normal, Jake didn’t remember it though, he was having so much fun to even worry.
“Stay still, I think I saw something” Zak’s attention was drawn to a couple of insects standing over the garden’s fence, Jake easily noticed them as well, and both lizards went on full predatory mode, sneaking their way to the fence’s base.
Jake could already taste them, his mouth watering and his tongue going crazy inside his jaw, they smelled so good…
Soon they started climbing, Jake still marveled at how easy this is with the ridges in his paws, he loved his agile body, and they reached the top in no time, preparing themselves to strike.
“NOW” Zak and Jake both jumped at the same time, each attacking one prey, Jake bit off the wings and like that his prey was doomed, Zak went right to the head and easily tore it off.
Both lizards were now enjoying the best meal ever, leaving nothing as the bugs were entirely devoured. They quickly made their way down, and hid beneath the grass as they walked back to their base.
“you know… I’m glad we were to hatch together, I really like having you as my partner in this” Zak stopped and commented, a little nervous.
“Me too buddy, it is so awesome” Jake answered back as Zak nuzzled his snout against his, that’s his way to show gratitude, the scales made Jake feel at ease, and he got to see his smile.

Suddenly, with the blink of an eye, Jake was human again, sitting in his chair, Did The Chronivac already loaded the save?! “No! It couldn’t be! Zak needed him!” Jake noticed that the little lizard still appears in the Chronivac radar but now nameless.
Jake sighted in relieve, he could fix this right away and become a lizard again, or maybe he could change Zak and give him his intelligence back.
