Eric approaches the fountain the next day to drink some more water, and then his hand is quickly grabbed by his mother and pulled him away from the fountain as she said "I don't think so! We don't want to hear any more of those "fountain" antics!" After 7-year-old Eric is sent to his class, his parents requested the principal to prohibit any student from kindergarten to grade 4 from entering the middle and high school properties and from using the fountain which is believed to make them older or younger. After the principal made the announcement about it, Eric knew that he will have to relive his life from age 7. Eric then thought that his parents believed his story but didn't want him to touch the fountain again because they felt more comfortable around a 7-year-old boy who they would always have in their sight rather than having a 15-year-old teenage man who always went out at nights as their son. They have won, Eric had lost, and now Eric has to live with being 7 again. Eric never even went near the fountain again.
