Kyle the frog was kept in a little jar, fed bugs occasionally. It was a pretty boring life. Kyle didn't appreciate how being a frog felt and was desperate to get back to being human. Occasionally, though, he forgot he had ever been human, and he worried it might end up always being that way.
However, frog boredom was going to be the least of his concerns. Rebecca and Sam invited the entire soccer team over next, for a "party". Some party, they thought. Becca and Sam were the only two girls there. And while they enjoyed the attention, Kyle desperately tried to warn them, banging up against the jar. The guys just laughed though, occasionally coming over to tap or shake the jar to annoy the creature within.
Eventually, the girls invited the soccer team to change into other wetsuits, all reflecting different colours for the creatures Sam and Rebecca needed for their potion. The guys were confused, but Sam promised it would all be worth it for some "game" they had planned.
The guys quickly began to change.
They already had the frog's tongue for Kyle, but one guy was growing black fur and wings - a bat. Another grew a tail, floppy ears and fur - a dog. One guy was losing his arms and legs, shrinking into his body as he became a snake. One formerly tall guy was shrinking down into a feathery bundle, before flapping up into the air and racing around the room in a panic as an owl. Kyle didn't envy the guy turning into a worm, but he did envy the guy turning into a dragon - although Rebecca and Sam quickly brought him under control.
Soon all the ingredients were amassed - Sam and Rebecca were almost ready to brew their potion.
