Ty walked into town and wandered around wearing his t-shirt and cargo pants as he strolled to the small strip mall down the street. Once he was there, he passed the little sporting goods store, which displayed several posters of young athletes in the display window, including pictures of a swimmer, a wrestler, a soccer player and a young, teenage gymnast who was hanging from the still rings.
“That is so cool…” Ty grinned as he admired the poster of the gymnast, who looked about the same age as him. “I want to look just like him…”
Then Ty’s powers kicked in, making his arms grow even thicker and more muscular than before. His biceps grew into large mounds of rock-hard muscle, making him feel incredible STRONG. His forearms became thick to the point where he even sprouted veins and his pectorals bulged a bit, making his chest and shoulders grow even wider. His abdominal muscles became incredibly well-defined and were even visible through his shirt which now transformed into a tank top. Lastly, his cargo pants morphed into long sweat pants and his old shoes transformed into running shoes (sneakers).
Ty just stood there, flexing his arms while using the glass of the display window as a mirror.
“Holy crap! I feel so freaking strong now! Look at my arms!” Ty smiled as he admired his huge biceps. “I look just like a gymnast! Wait will Dustin sees me now!”
No sooner had Ty said that or Dustin came walking around the corner while talking on his cell phone. He walked right past Ty, although he was looking at him the whole time while Ty was staring back at him. Finally, as Dustin walked a few feet past him, he hung up and turned around. There was something very familiar about this kid!
“Hey, Dustin!” Ty just smiled.
Dustin remained silent as he just stared at Ty in disbelief. Ty just gulped, wishing quietly that Dustin would find that the way Ty looked now would be completely normal and nothing out of the ordinary.
“Ty? What… What are YOU doing here?” Dustin asked him.
“I’m just walking around… Same thing YOU’RE doing here!” Ty replied.
Dustin cautiously walked closer to him. Obviously he was a little more scared of Ty now that Ty had some more muscle on him.
“You’re not supposed to be here! You’re supposed to be cleaning up the yard at the house!” Dustin sneered.
Ty just grinned. He realized that he was now far more muscular than Dustin, meaning he was STRONGER than him. No more bullying!
“I’m done already! I got done with mowing the lawn in twenty minutes! Mowing the lawn is a snap now See?” Ty grinned as he made a fist and flexed his arm, revealing his huge, bulging bicep causing Dustin to let out a loud gasp.
“I… I’m telling mom and dad that I saw you here at the mall! The yard had better be clean or else you’re in deep shit!” Dustin hissed as he turned around, grabbed his phone and walked away in a hurry as he tried to call Mark and June as quickly as possible.
“Whatever…” Ty just shrugged. He decided that Dustin wasn’t going to ruin his Saturday anymore. Ever. Ty was in control now. Of everything!
So, Ty continued to walk around the little strip mall and he saw…
