That night, all three boys went to bed, but didn't really go to sleep. As soon as they laid down, the argument began. Jason wanted to roll over and sleep on their chest, but Jake wanted to stay on their back. Josh didn't even want to go to sleep, so he flicked the light on the night stand and grabbed a comic book from the drawer. Jason and Jake agreed to roll over so that Josh wouldn't be able to read, or turn the light back on once they turned it off. But eventually Josh got tired of Jake breathing in his ear, so he rolled them onto Jason's side.
The continued to argue in such a manner until Josh passed out from exhaustion. Jason and Jake couldn't really move with the dead weight, so they stayed as they were until they drifted off too.
They woke up with pain across their body. Growing pains. During the night, they had grown another inch, and their skin was feeling tight around all the muscle. They worked together and sat up, feeling a bit dizzy. Jake looked from Jason to Josh and put on a smile, "Good morning you two."
"Good morning." They both groaned in unison.
"Yes... good morning the three of you!" All three boys looked at each other in shock. When Jake went to turn to Jason, he felt something hit the back of his head. He nor Jason could see what was going on, so Jake raced them over to the mirror. There in between Jason and Jake's head, was another, new head. It was situated further back than the rest, so it wasn't in line.
"Oh my god! Who are you?!" Jake cried.
"Hmm... I think I'll call myself... Jim!"
"Oh great," Jason sighed, "Another one..."
"Ya, now you know how I felt!" Jake stuck his tongue out, and almost into Jason's ear. "I didn't think I even had room back there for another head!"
"What are you talking about?! There's lots of room!" Jim grinned. The three original boys watched in the mirror as another set of arms lifted into the air over their heads and flexed.
"Wow! Cool!" Josh cheered, "We have four arms now! Awesome!" Now, all four of them laughed. They walked over to the dresser, but soon found that none of the clothes would fit them. They agreed to quietly sneak into their dad's room, and steal some of his before heading to school.
