As Eric drinks the water, the funny feeling as he drinks it causes him to shrink slightly, this time to the age of 7. Eric is even more shocked than when he saw himself at ten. He is practically a little kid again, all because of the water at the fountain.
Eric still attends the elementary school, but no longer old enough for the fifth grade, so they sent him to the second grade. Eric couldn't believe that he has to wait even longer so he can regain his teenage life. During the lessons, which he thought were easy because he already did them, Eric constantly struggled while the others were able to complete them with ease. At recess, he was treated even worse because of his appearence, and mocked for not doing well in sports. Eric feared this because he used to be mocked for all of that until pubery kicked in for him when he was 12.
When he got home, Eric turned on the TV, only to see that his parents blocked all of the good channels while he is awake. Appearently, they must have already knew about Eric being 7 again.
When his parents returned home, Eric told them that there is something wrong with the water in the fountain. The thing that was wrong was that the water turned him into a kid and sent him to elementary school again. However, his parents told him that this is just his imagiination, assumed that fate has made Eric younger to teach him a lesson about behaviour, and made yet another rule. This time, both parents would pick him up and drive him to school every day. Also, when at home, Eric is never to leave his parents' sight. Both of those rules prevented Eric from using the fountain again, thus also preventing any hope of Eric becoming 15 again. That night, he was sent to bed even earlier than usual, where Eric slept in anger and tears.
Eric approaches the fountain the next day to drink some more water, and then...
