Ric continued to talk to the 13 year old Mr. Mendes. With the last transformation to update Mr. Mendes, his mind had also been altered to remember Ric and
Josh and to beleive he was staying with them for the summer. This meant there would be no problems of the youth going into a panic and wanting to know why he
was in a strange place.
Ric loved the idea of Mr. Mendes now being just "one of the boys" and suggested that he, Josh and Francisco go roaming the neighborhood. "Cool!" Said teen
Mr. Mendes. Ric intended to keep Mr. Mendes a boy for as long as possible.
