Charlie Muntz or Chuck as he prefered to be called was a happy-go-lucky boy living in his family farm, he
loved his parents and helping them with the chores, but Chuck was lonely. Unless he was in school he lived far
away from any other kids and during the summer breaks he found himself longing for someone to mess around.
However this time he was excited for the summer break, as it turned out his cousin Mikey would come and stay
at the farm for the summer. It was the only family that was around his age, although he was five years older.
He remembered how they played together during the family meetings and that other summer four years ago.
However the exciment didn't last him much. Mikey insisted on him calling him Michael or Mike at the very
least, and he didn't look all that interested in being there to begin with. As it turns out he had been
getting into some trouble and was sent there as a punishment. The grumpy teenager didn't want anything to do
with Chuck and less to do with the farmwork.
At morning he couldn't be coerced into waking up early to tend for the chickens, he would deny to do anything
that would soil his boots and clothes, and was completely against the idea of using the work clothes he was
offered instead.
He was lazy and complained all the time and worst of all he didn't want to play with a snooty ten year old.
Chuck heart was broken because of this, after all this time he could have someone to play but his cousin
simply refused. But Chuck was clever and had a trick out of his sleeve. He found it while looking through some
boxes in the basement, a beautiful pocket watch which he had learnt how to use.
He went to his cousin room, as he was just in his boxers ready to sleep.
"Mikey, can I ask you something?"
"It's Michael, and be quick I'm trying to sleep."
"I'm wondering if you want to go to the water hole tomorrow with me?"
"What? Walk around in this blazing heat just so you can splash around for a while? No way. Now get out."
If Chuck needed a little insentive this was it.
"Mike look at this." said Chuck holding the pocket watch.
"I tol-" before he could finish his treat Chuck pushed a button and all the will on Michael dissappeared.
"What's your name?" asked Chuck.
"Michael Flinn."
"No, you are Mike Muntz. My brother."
"Yes, yes I am."
"Do you want to use the work clothes we gave you?"
"No, I wouldn't want to be seing dead in those."
"Yes you do, they are more comfortable to work on, and you don't care how you look like, neither you mind
getting dirty."
"Do you like the farm?"
"I hate it, there's nothing to do. I prefer the city."
"No, you dislike the city and anything to do with it. You like the simply life of the farm."
"You are right, I love to farm." Chuck noticed that the pale skin of his cousin was getting a light tan, and
his somewhat flaccid muscles were getting firmer. Chuck saw this and couldn't help to tailor his new brother
to better suit him.
"In fact you are just a kid like me. You are my twin brother. We share everything and tomorrow will go to the
water hole."
"Yeah... yeah that's right." Mike said as he was getting younger, the hair under his lips falling off as did
his armpit hair, slowly but surely his traits changed to look like Chuck, when he was lmost done the boxers he
was wearing fell off, along with his remaining body hair. It wasn't long before Chuck was seeing something
that could otherwise be accomplished with no clothes and a full lenght mirror.
He returned with some clothes for Mikey and fell sleep thinking on the fun they would have tomorrow.
