Jeff lets out a sigh, “I guess I have no other option than to trust you, hm?”
Tj chuckles, “ye-up,” he says, “why are you so nervous, Jeff? You know, I’ve noticed that you seem to be acting nervous around me, I mean… it’s weird, usually I should be the one who should be nervous since I am the younger one. You aren’t acting like the big bros of my friends”.
“What do you mean,” Jeff asks.
Without looking at Jeff and still typing into the Chronivac, Tj shrugs, “well, they always boss my friends around,” he says, “you, on the other hand, are not bossing me around, on the contrary: when ever I WANT something YOU simply get what I want or do what I say without protest”.
Jeff thinks for a while, “come to think of it,” he says, “I actually noticed that myself. To be honest… I have no idea why I feel so nervous… almost intimidated by you. Something about you makes me feel… well… weak and unable to act like a big brother would”.
Tj nods, “yeah, like… you never say stuff like: “go get it yourself, twerp”. I mean… that is how it usually goes, right?”
“I guess,” Jeff says, “so… do you have an idea?”
Tj nods, “I actually do,” he says, “I have read our stats, mine says that I am pretty dominant, while yours says that you are more submissive and tend to do anything anyone says. So, I assume you also do the bidding of your friends if they tell you to do something, right?”
Jeff slowly nods his head, “true,” he says, “it’s like… as if I were a child who is trapped inside the body of a 16-year-old… it’s weird and not so easy to explain”.
Tj nods, “I get it,” he says, “some of my friends often tell me that I act more mature than others in my age, as if I were mentally older. So, I know how you feel”.
“I must agree with your friends,” Jeff says, “you really do act more like a teenager than a kid”.
Tj turns around to look at Jeff, “that is why I have thought of a fun experiment,” he says, “I have everything set and ready to start our transformations. So, are you ready?”
Jeff frowns, “if I say “no” you’ll confirm it anyway, and I doubt you’re going to let me in on this… “experiment” of yours, right?”
Tj grins and nods, “hehe… yeah,” he says.
Jeff sighs, “well then, just do it,” he says.
Grinning Tj confirms the inputs, “let’s see when you’ll realize what my idea is,” he says, he then shivers, “man… that felt weird”.
Jeff nods as he shivers himself, “yeah… the tingling is pretty weird,” he says, “I doubt I’ll ever get used to it,” he adds.
Tj chuckles, “could be worse,” he says.
“True,” Jeff says, “wait… why are my feet not touching the ground,” he then asks, “and WHY do you look taller and… older? Wait… did my voice just crack?!”
Tj chuckles, “hehe… well, what do you think?”
Jeff’s eyes widen, “y-you are becoming older while I’m becoming younger?!”
Tj nods, “yep,” he says.
“How… how young did you make me?”
“Don’t worry,” Tj says, “I only added fours years to my normal age, while stripping four years from yours”.
Jeff’s eyes widen, “so… I’ll be 12 while you’ll be 14?”
Tj nods, “yeah,” he says, his voice sounding a lot deeper than before and he even has a few pubic hairs and the hairs on his arms and legs seem to look darker and thicker.
“Wh…,” Jeff starts, then he widens his eyes, “oh, I get it! You made us match our “mental age”?”
Tj grins, “yeah, I thought it would be a fun experiment,” he says, “besides, I always dreamed of being the “big brother” instead of you”.
Jeff is shocked, but as he thinks about it and looking down at his hairless young body, he can’t help but smile, “actually… it does sound like a fun idea,” he says, “just… try to not be to mean to me!”
Tj grins, “I’ll do my best, but I can’t promise anything since the urge of teasing you is pretty strong!”
Jeff gulps, “s-so how long will we be staying like this,” he asks.
“I thought to spend the whole weekend like this,” Tj says, “don’t worry about our parents and friends, I have activated the reality alteration, so everyone should think we have always been like this”.
“So… my friends aren’t my friends anymore?”
Tj nods, “the same goes for mine since the ages don’t match anymore,” he says, “but I’m not worried and you shouldn’t be too, I’m sure we’ll make new friends since we both have such great bodies”.
Jeff nods, “yeah, even as a 12-year-old my body does look pretty athletic,” he says.
Tj smiles, “so, “little bro”, what would you think of heading to the park,” he asks.
“Um… what about clothes,” Jeff asks.
Tj chuckles, “I know where mum keeps our old clothes,” he says, “so she must have still some old clothes from you when you were 12 and 14. Come, let’s check the attic, I think I’ve seen some old clothes in some boxes up there”.
“Okay,” Jeff says, so the two naked boys head up to the attic.
“Man,” Jeff says, “I don’t remember the attic being THIS creepy”.
Tj laughs, “scaredy-cat,” he says.
Jeff pouts cutely up at his former little brother, “hey… I’m not scared,” he says, looking around the attic, “just… um… surprised!”
“Yeah, suuuuure,” Tj grins, “anyway, the sooner we find the clothes the sooner we’ll be outta here!”
Both then start searching and after a while find the clothes, they start to rummage through the boxes until they found some cool outfits, “let’s head back to my room and see if they fit,” Jeff says.
When they enter Jeff’s room they start dressing in the clothes, “perfect fit,” Tj says.
“Yeah,” Jeff agrees, “thank god!”
Tj grins, “come on, Jeff,” he says, “let’s have some fun!”
Jeff can’t help but smile, “you know, Tj,” he says, “I honestly always felt sad that we never really do anything together. But now… now we finally can!”
Tj smiles, “I’ve always wanted to do stuff with you, Jeff,” he says, “heck… I even wanted to join you on your camping trip you did last summer with your pals!”
“Well… why didn’t you ask,” Jeff asks.
“I doubt you and your friends would have wanted an “annoying nine-year-old” around,” Tj replies.
“I… I guess you are right,” Jeff mumbles, “hey… when we are back to normal… would… would you like to join me on my next camping trip?”
Tj looks down at Jeff, “are you sure,” he asks, “what about your friends?”
“I can handle them,” Jeff replies, he then grins up at Tj.
“What,” Tj asks, tilting his head and raising an eyebrow.
“Weeeell, there is an option that allows to transfer the program onto a handheld device like a Tablet or Mobile Phone,” Jeff says.
Tj’s eyes widen then he too grins, “hehe… I think the next camping trip will be one your friends will NEVER forget!”
Jeff giggles, “yeah,” he says, “so, wanna head to the park?”
“Sure, let’s go,” Tj says, the two boys then head out the house and towards the park, Jeff grabbing a soccer ball from the front lawn.
Tj grins, “you know I’ll beat you,” he says.
Jeff grins back, “you can try,” he says, “but with this body, I’ll be more flexible and faster than you!”
Tj smirks, “we’ll see about that… twerp!”
“HEY,” Jeff scowls, then both laugh as they hurry along the street.
