Jake brought one hand to the wolf tooth hanging from his neck. "Well why don't we--"
Before Jake could answer, someone knocked on the door to their room. Dan left the laptop on his head and walked over with Jake to the door. Standing behind the door was their mom. "Boys can you help me set the table. Your dad is going to be home soon with the food."
"Sure mom" Dan and Jake answered together.
The three of them walked down into the kitchen and got busy preparing the table. A few minutes later, their dad came through the front door with the strong smell of Chinese food. Everyone was busy digging in, when a knock came from the front door. Jake, being the closest, ran over and looked through the little whole. He was ecstatic to report that it was Marcus. Jake quickly opened the door to let him in.
Marcus walked in and greeted everyone. "Hey Jake and Dan. Hi Mr. and Mrs. Bronson."
"Well hello Marcus" Mrs. Bronson smiled warmly. Mr. Bronson simply waved hi. He was still busy slurping up noodles. "We're eating right now, but you can in the boys' room if you want. I'm sure they'll be done soon.
The twins nodded, and quickly got back to their food, trying to scarf it down as fast as they could.
"Okay" Marcus replied. He ran up to the twins' room, taking the steps two at a time. Closing the door behind him, he walked toward the laptop, still open on Dan's bed. Curious, he looked at the open screen. "What's this... Uhhh... that's a little too much info I wanted on Jake." He quickly returned to the menu, and was surprised to see three images of young boys on the screen. Two of them were the twins, and the other was him. "What is this?" Marcus asked himself.
Right next to the laptop was the directions. Marcus grabbed them and skimmed through them. "You can make changes to people with this. Hmmm... it must be a special kind of Photoshop." Marcus clicked on both Dan and Jake's avatars and opened up their profiles. "I wonder what they would look like if..." Marcus quickly went to work editing their profiles. After he made the changes he wanted, a pop up came up saying 'Save changes' Marcus smiled and clicked save.
Just as Marcus clicked save, Dan and Jake ran through the door. They had completely forgotten about the Chronivac. "Hey guys! This is one weird Photoshop program you have, but check out this though." The twins walked over to see what Marcus had done. On the screen was a picture of Dan and Jake, except they were a whole lot closer. Suddenly the pop up appeared again saying 'Changes saved'
Instantly, the twins slammed into each other, shoulder to shoulder. At first nothing happened, but then their clothes started to dissolve. Their skin started to melt into each others, slowly merging them. Dan and Jake, instinctively, tried to pull apart, but they were unable to. In fact, it only quickened the process. Their inner arms disappeared into each other's sides. Their inner legs met and melted together, but instead of becoming one huge middle leg, it started being absorbed into their body. They twins kept being pulled and pulled closer together before process finally came to halt. The end result freaked everyone in the room. The twins' heads were now sharing the same shoulders, slight broader than normal to fit both of them. And from the shoulders down they looked like one normal boy.
