Over the next few days, Dan made arrangements on behalf of Brad and Tad. It was early enough in the semester that Tad was able to drop his classes without penalty. He'd start classes again once he was fully human again. Brad would continue his projects including showing up at the next science fair even though he was still a statue.
Both their family and friends were notified about the situation. The news also came and gave them the same coverage that Chad had gotten.
Brad wondered how Chad was doing. When he was shipped to the college, they had promised not to display him but after seeing Chad in the news, Brad wondered exactly how the college defined not displaying him. Would they keep Chad in a storage closet or was he left where college students could easily see him on their way to classes?
One of the first things that had to be figured out was their legal status. A court date was set and the judge ordered that Chad, Brad and Tad had to be in attendance. So Dan rented a truck and loaded Brad and Tad into the truck.
Besides the embarrassment of being on display as the truck travelled through the city to the courthouse, Brad also noticed the intense vibrations especially in Tad's cock still lodged deep inside Brad.
As Brad and Tad were being set up in the court room, Tad's cock came loose and popped out of Brad's hole. However, Brad's upper body was still tightly held in the nelson hold and the two of them would not stay upright unless Tad's cock was popped back into Brad's hole. Nothing Brad or Tad said stopped them from reinserting Tad's cock up Brad's hole.
The judge quickly decided that the legal status would have to be mixed. "If we declare them completely statues then we declare them dead and they would lose all their assets. So to avoid that hassle when they finally become human again, we can't declare them completely statues. On the other hand, if we declare them completely human then we have issues with them not able to hold a job, not able to pay the rent, and not able to clothe themselves. So we can't declare them completely human either. Therefore, we have to grant them a mixed status."
When asked what that would mean, the judge said, "I cannot make a comprehensive or detailed decision on what their mixed status means but I'll address the most obvious issues and the ones that have been brought to my attention. Regarding Brad's projects, Brad is still human and may pursue those projects including making a demonstration at the next science fair. Regarding the lawsuit against Tony, Brad is still human and may pursue his lawsuit against Tony. Regarding the nudity, all three are statues and can be displayed naked in public just like any other statue. Some people with to examine the statues. Since they are statues, they may be examined by anyone at anytime and they don't have the right to refuse an examination. Some people want to have sex with the statues. There are laws about doing that in public but what you do with the statues in private is none of my business."
The judge continued, "Statues have owners and if the owner wishes to alter the statue such as cutting their hair, that is the owner's right. The owners have limited authority over the statues. Yes the owners can sell the statues but the statues cannot leave the jurisdiction of this county so the court can keep track of the statues and restore them to human when the device is fixed."
The case ended and the statues were moved outside for a while. Vlad came up to Brad. Vlad was a friend of Brad's and a fellow scientist. Vlad had missed the first science fair but would be there for the second science fair. Vlad started examining Brad.
Brad said, "Stop, don't touch me."
Vlad kept examining. "You heard the judge. Anyone can examine you at anytime and you can't refuse. Now open your mouth."
Brad protested, "My mouth isn't statufied."
Vlad said, "Doesn't matter. Open your mouth."
Brad refused. Vlad used one hand to close Brad's nose and the other hand to pull Brad's lower jaw. Brad became violent.
A guard came over and Vlad explained, "I'm just trying to examine his mouth."
The guard said to Brad, "You know the judge's ruling. Allow the examination or I'll arrest you."
Brad asked, "And what would happen if you arrested me."
The guard said, "I think it would be inappropriate for a statue to occupy a cell so you'll be put in the prison yard where all the prisoners can enjoy you."
Brad let Vlad examine his mouth. Vlad said, "That looks like such a great mouth for sucking cock. I'm going to have to figure out how to give that a try."
Brad patiently endured having his mouth probed by Vlad's fingers and then said, "Vlad, you're my friend. Why would you do that to a friend?"
Vlad said, "You're a statue."
Vlad continued examining Brad's whole body including his cock and ass and Vlad wasn't the only one. Vlad then went over to talk to Dan.
