Little Matt's foot kicked out and knocked off the pair of pants he
had been wearing earlier as his obnoxious 16-year-old self.
The pants fell from the collection in Jessica's arms and landed
on the medallion in Jake's hand.
Jake felt a tingling run along his limbs. His body began to stretch
and expand. In short order he looked exactly like Matt prior to
Matt's transformation into a kindergarten student. Jake, for all
purposes, had become Matt.
Jessica stared in surprise. Little Matt began to cry. "No! That's my
body! Get out of my body!"
Jake stretched. He felt great. He had the body he had always
dreamed of. He had a great body — Matt's body — with its
muscles and broad shoulders.
He still had the amulet in his grip. "Jessica, do you mind
babysitting for a while?"
She frowned. "I guess not. Where are you going?"
"I don't know. I just want to try out this new body!"
"All right, but don't be gone long." Jessica grabbed Matt's tiny
hand in her hand. "I mean it, Jake."
"I'll be back soon."
