Jake said his goodbyes to Graham and quickly made his way back home to check on Matt. He couldn't believe he
had already been out for 30 minutes and still had not made his way to the clock shop. As he arrived at his
home and opened the door, he found the TV was on really loud like his Grandpa watches it. Jake quickly called
out for Matt and found him butt naked and making a sandwich in the kitchen. Jake thought thank goodness he
came back to check on Matt because he was now into his mid 50's and was beginning to look tired.
Matt's body had gone through major changes and were continuing to progress. At this point he had all grey
hairs, had loss a large portion of his lean muscle and had a belly that reminded Jake of Santa Clause. With a
long white beard and long white hair, Matt would definitely make money during Christmas. After the initial
shock, Jake finally said, "Matt! Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You are way past my age at this
point."
As Matt seemed to wake up from a daze, he quickly began to look all over his body as he made his way to the
full body mirror upstairs. Matt was having back and knee issues as he climbed the stairs. "Holy Smokes!, How
long were you gone? What did the clock man say? Did you figure out how we can return to our regular age?, said
Matt in a voice much gruffer and older sounding.
Jake knew his friend was going to be angry, but explained to Matt how his neighbor Graham had stopped him
asking who he was and why he was at the house. One thing led to another and 30 minutes quickly passed by. He
also said he came back as soon as he could.
Jake noticed he and Matt were still aging and asked, "Matt, the clock is still on and it appears we are aging
too quickly. Can you remember where you placed it last and turn it off?" Matt couldn't put his finger on the
clock, as he previously misplaced it in the cabinet after he made his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. As
they both began to look 5 minutes had already passed by since Jake arrived and they were both 5 years older.
To make matters worse, the doorbell rung and Graham was waiting outside the door. What would he think when he
saw that Jake was clearly older, fatter, and also there was a 60 year old naked bear in the house?
Jake quickly told Matt to continue looking for the clock upstairs as he sheepishly answered the door. Graham,
seizing the moment, quickly entered the home and told Jake he had forgot his pants at his house. "Wow, you
don't look so great.", said Graham. "Hopefully you aren't allergic to nut's because the cakes I made earlier
did have walnuts in them."
Jake, thinking quickly, said "No, I've seen to have misplaced my favorite clock and am having problems finding
it. Can you help me look for it here downstairs." Hoping that having an extra hand in the house would allow
him to find the clock, Jake wasn't worried about Graham because he was already older and shouldn't notice a
few extra years. Jake quickly explained what the clock looked like and they started looking for it.
