"I was supposed to get some cheese at the grocery store," Mike said.
"Eh, you don't want that store bought stuff," said Robin, slapping Mike on the back. "I know a place that's really fresh. They make it
themselves. Come on, I'll introduce you." He grabbed Mike by the arm and started leading him out of he post office.
"Wait," said Mike, "are you going to change Adam back? Is he gonna be a hobbit from now on?" Mike glanced back at the short 20-
something looking nervously out from behind the counter.
"Oh, who cares," said Robin. "Adam, have you learned your lesson?"
"Yes sir," said Adam. His voice was a little squeaky and higher pitched than it was when he was human sized.
"Fine, fine," said Robin. "Back to normal it is for you then." Adam grunted as he suddenly shot up in height to his old stature. His hobbit
clothes remained, though, leaving his limbs stretched out of the tiny garments and his belly exposed. The pants ripped a seam along the
ass, revealing bare skin. Strangest of all, though, his feet grew proportionally, so now they were huge and hairy, twice the size of normal
feet.
"Thank you," Adam gulped, wiggling his huge toes.
"Don't mention it, ya freak," waved Robin as he dragged Mike away. "Come on, dairy's this way."
They headed down a path through a field, laughing about Adam's silly new appendages. "Is he going to be able to walk?" Mike asked.
Robin smiled. "Probably. Walking with big feet isn't so hard. Wanna try it?"
"Nooooo, no no no," said mike. "No foot changes for me."
"Aw, you scared?" said Robin. "Don't want to even try?" He waved a finger at mike's shoes and mike hopped away.
"No thanks!" He said. "After what you did to poor Adam, who knows what you'll do to me!"
"Adam had it coming," said Robin. "That kid's been a jerk to everyone for a while now. But I like you." He patted mike's arm as they
walked. "And if you say no foot changes, I'll honor your request."
"Thanks," said Mike, slapping Robin on the back. His hand felt tingly after the contact. "Aw, man, are you doin something to me?"
Robin laughed. "What do you mean?"
Mike held his hands up. They started to swell a bit. Slowly at first, then bigger and bigger. "So weird!" Said mike. He stared at his big mitts,
and then burst out laughing. "I look so dumb!"
"Haha, well, you should've watched your words," Robin said.
"I guess," said Mike. "These things look hilarious." Thick black hair started growing in on the backs and on fingers. Mike's hands were
bigger than his head now. "I'm a freak, just like Adam!" Mike said.
"Yeah, I like my lads freaky," said Robin.
"Your lads?" Said mike. Just then, they rounded a bend and came upon the dairy.
