When gym class was over, Vinnie headed back to his locker. Coach Joe saw him stripping out of his t-shirt and
shorts, and headed to his office. He figured that he'd change Ryan back while Vinnie was showering. Only
problem with his logic was that Vinnie didn't shower. Instead when got down to his jockstrap, he started
putting on his street clothes. Jeans were pulled over a startled Ryan, then polo shirt, socks and tennis
shoes followed. Vinnie shoved his gym clothes and his briefs into his backpack and started to leave the
locker room.
He suddenly felt really warm at his crotch. He dropped his backpack and then he seemed to explode inside his
clothing. He heard seams rip. It was like the Incredible Hulk. He looked down at his ruined canvas sneakers.
His feet were huge and had blown the sneakers to shreds. His jeans had been loose fit - now they were tight
and exposed about 10 inches of calf. Vinnie walked over to a mirror, and balked. Ryan Standish's reflection
stared back dressed in Vinnie's way-too-small clothing.
"Guess, I'll need to wear Ryan's clothes," Vinnie said to himself. He added silently, "Okay, Standish, what's
your locker combo?"
Five minutes later, Coach Joe smiled as he saw Ryan Standish wearing his letterman's jacket leave the locker
room. He noticed that Ryan was carrying two backpacks. That gave Joe pause. Where was Vinnie? He hadn't
changed Vinnie into a jockstrap too? Or maybe Ryan had scared Vinnie away and taken Vinnie's backpack? He
decided he'd stop by the office and get both Vinnie's and Ryan's schedules, so he could check on them.
He glanced at the cards and at first thought it was a coincidence, but then as he analyzed it, he realized
that they had the exact same class schedules. He knew that hadn't been the case before. There was no way that
Vinnie was on the Varsity Water Polo team, any more than Ryan was taking Calculus.
He headed to Calculus to see what was going on.
