Both Andrew and Charles began to get smaller, both thier bodies and clothing changing in appearance. James grinned as the shrinking boys gaped at each other. "Since you are scared of being late, I'll make you way early for 8th grade. Noe the principal won't be expecting you for class for another, say, three years?"
Andrew, now about 12 and still getting younger, looked down at himself. His formal uniform had changed to very old-fashioned knickers and a rough cloth shirt, dirty and patched. His crewcut lengthened and turned bright copper red and freckles appeared on his skin. Charless found himself wearing similar clothing that was at least clean and in good condition. His hair had grown out and turned black, and his face was compeltely different. As the change completed, they were a pair of 11 year-old boys from about 1890. They both looked at James in confusion.
James grinned. "Now you are Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer! Bet you don't mind playing hookey from school, do you?"
The two boys looked at each other and grinned. "Heck no!," said the new Huck. "I wanna go down tot he old swimmin' hole! Come on, Tom!"
The two boys look at you. "Hey! Wanna come with us?"
