As soon as Allen got home, he laid the flattened peter on his bed. He then turned around, and snapped his fingers.
“I think it’s time for you to change back to your old self again…” Allen chuckled.
Instantly, the flattened form of Peter started to inflate, as his torso started to form out of the small, compressed and flattened figure. Next, his arms and legs appeared, rapidly sprouting from the right places, so that the figure took on its familiar, human form. Finally, the head appeared, forming a face with eyes, nose and mouth. Within a few seconds, the flat figure had transformed into Peter, who was sitting on Allen’s bed.
“Wow! That felt awesome!” Peter chuckled, as he quickly examined his body. “We should try that again!”
“Oh, don’t worry…” Allen replied calmly. “We will…”
Just then, Kent came knocking on Allen’s window.
“Hey guys…” Kent said, as he stuck his head through the small bedroom window. “I’m outside flying my kite with a few of my friends. Do you guys want to come out and join us?”
“Sure!” Peter replied. “We’ll be right out…”
“But, wait a minute….” Allen grumbled. “I don’t have a kite to fly…”
“Well, we can make one…” Peter suggested.
“I can make one… Out of YOU!” Allen shouted!
“I knew it!” Peter just rolled his eyes.
“Come; follow me to the old laundry room in the basement, Peter…” Allen said, as he led his best friend to the basement of the house, where the washer and dryer were standing. There was also an old clothes wringer machine, which they no longer used.
“I got an idea!” Allen suggested. “I’m going to transform your body into fine, thin rubber, which is very light and flexible and strong. Then, I’ll run you through the wringer, so that you’ll be flattened. Finally, I’ll attach you to some strings, and I’ll tie you against some wood, and I’ll fly you look a kite! How do you like that idea, Pete?”
“Sure, I don’t mind going flying for awhile!” Peter shrugged.
“Well, I’m gonna make you rubbery and frozen at the same time, okay?” Allen said. “Trust me; it’s not going to hurt. You won’t feel a thing!”
Allen snapped his fingers, and immediately Peter felt his body starting to change. His skin, his bone structure, everything suddenly became very flexible. But, at the same time, he was not able to move. Allen made it so that he could no longer move.
“Now, I’m gonna have you flattened, Pete…. Hang on tight!” Allen said, as he easily lifted Peter by the torso and carried him over to the wringer machine.
When Allen had placed Peter’s feet near the large, round rollers of the machine, he flipped the power switch, which turned on the motor, which caused the two large rollers to start rotating. The two rollers were located one right above the other, with a narrow space between them. It was between these spaces that Allen tried to push peter’s body right between them.
Slowly but surely, Peter’s feet were pulled through the space between the rollers, coming out completely flattened on the opposite side. Then came the rest of his legs, and then his torso, followed by his hands and arms as well. On the other side, his flattened legs and arms came flowing out from the narrow opening between the large rollers. After a few seconds, Peter’s chest, neck, and finally his face disappeared between the rollers, and appeared on the other side, flat as a cloth. His entire, flattened body was now much wider as before, even though he was as flat as a table cloth. Peter’s body gracefully flowed to the floor.
Allen then reached down and tied the cloth to a thin bar of wood. Then, he tired a long string to both ends of the wood, so that he would have something to hold on too. Finally, he attached another; longer piece of wood to Peter’s flattened body, which supported Peter from the back of his head all the way down to the back of his legs.
“There, you’re all done now!” Allen chuckled. “Now I’ll allow you to move again!”
“Whoa… I’m all flat…. You turned me into some sort of cloth or something?” Peter said. He was only able to blink his flat eyes on his flat face.
“Yeah, I turned you into a kite!” Allen cheered. “You’re about to go flying!”
Allen walked outside with Peter, and tossed Peter into the air. A powerful gust of wind took hold of him, and sent Peter high into the air!
“Hey, Kent!” Allen shouted. “Check out my kite!”
Kent ran towards Allen and admired his new kite.
“Oh man… That looks like…” Kent wondered.
“Yup…. You got it…” Allen affirmed. “I turned Peter into a kite!”
In the meantime, peter was just enjoying the cool breeze that was blowing against his flattened body. Thanks to Allen, he now got to enjoy a few minutes as a human kite.
