As the morning turned towards afternoon, the boys were growing content with how close they had become. It was the first time that any of them had shared a house with their friends, let alone a body. These twelve guys had become one long body, with two legs set wide apart, two arms at their two shoulders, and then there was the piece de resistance: twelve heads on one pair of shoulders!
"This is undoubtedly the coolest thing that ANY person can turn into!" Damion said.
"And it brings new meaning to 'brotherly love'." Raph said, mainly referring to his original brothers Donnie, Leo, and Mikey.
Another knock came from the door, and this time it was Donnie's friend Phil. The boys were welcome to let him in: after all, thirteen heads would be better than twelve!
When Phil stepped inside, he was obviously speechless at what he saw. It was not often that a person sees a group of friends looking like this.
"This is amazing!" said an astonished Phil. "I don't care how it happened, but I wish that I could be a part of it!"
"Well, your wish may be granted." Donnie said, as everyone's eyes turned towards Ty.
"Already taken care of." Ty grinned. As Phil approached them, his body began to disappear as it touched the left side of the long one--right under Mikey's head. As Phil's body merged into the large body, his left arm became the body's new left arm, as the body grew wider to include it. The waist and shoulders grew out, the legs extended farther apart, and Phil's head settled onto the new shoulders. Their clothes fused into a shirt with thirteen colors in vertical stripes--each one beneath their original head. The large 12 on the shirt shifted towards what was now the center, as it morphed into a gleaming 13. As soon as the boys stopped fusing, they had become even more amazed: one long body, two legs wide apart, two long arms, and thirteen heads on two broad shoulders.
"So freaking cool!" Phil shouted.
"Welcome to the group, Phil!" Damion said.
"Now we have nine other body brothers!" Mikey said to Raph, Donnie, and Leo.
"This new body is probably the BEST thing that will ever be made!" Raph said.
"Thirteen full-blood brothers!" Mason smiled.
"And everyone thinks that we've been born conjoined!" Donnie reminded them.
"Is there a word for something like this?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, and it's what we are now--conjoined TREDECUPLETS." Jake answered.
"I bet that's a new world on the world." Steven said.
"Let alone the human race." Allen continued.
"Who knows what we would be if there were more friends in this body?!" asked an excited Peter.
"Ty, I hope that they'll be cool with being closer with their friends," Dustin said.
"Well, we'e all cool with it." Ty said. "I'm sure they'll be cool with it,too.
That was just what the guys hoped. As they sat on their wide couch, they put their giant body to [several] good use[s]. Damion sat drinking a cup of water, Raph and Donnie admired the paintings hanging on the walls, Jake and Allen held a close-range staring contest, Phil and Mikey shared a book for reading, Mason and Leo began chatting about which Pokemon was the best, Steven and Peter watched some TV, and Dustin took a little nap. Ty just sat and relaxed, sometimes partaking in everyone's activities. Mostly, he just admired--occasionally with everyone else--how cool their body was. None of them knew what would happen next, especially who would be the next addition to their "collection" of friends.
