The match got started but Mike spent most of the first half sitting on the bench since he wasn't a starter. Most kids would have hated that but in this case, Mike didn't mind it. It gave him the chance to study his own teammates as well as the opponents. Finally, he considered leaving his own teammates alone. Obviously he didn't want to weaken the guys on his own team! On the other hand, he wanted to see how the biggest and the fastest guys were on the other team. He figured those could lose a pound of muscle, now that he had the power to steal muscle from them.
The score was tied at 1-1, with one goal for each team. The starters were getting a bit tired by halftime so Mike guessed that it wouldn't be long before the Coach would get him to go in. And he was right. About five minutes after the whistle, Coach signaled to Mike to get ready. One of the guys came out and Mike came in. As soon as Mike ran down the field, he started to look for his targets.
Mike had spent the first half scoping out the biggest and the fastest guys on the other team. So, now that he was actually on the field, he started running closer to those guys. Stan was one of the bigger guys on the other team. Mike ran next to him and wished for his muscle in Daira's name! Mike felt his muscles increase by a pound! A pound wasn't much, but it made a small difference!
Mike ran over to Derrick, another one of the faster guys on the other team and repeated his wish.
"I wish to have Derrick's muscles in Daira's name!" he whispered to himself.
Derrick lost one pound of muscle, and Mike gained it! Mike then repeated the same thing for Aaron, Bernard, Casper and Evan, all the bigger and faster guys on the other team. In the meantime, Mike had gained a total 6 pounds of muscle, evenly distributed over his entire body!
Mike's muscle-trickery had indeed slowed down the opponents a little bit and his team scored another goal in the meantime! Mike stole a pound of muscle from the other four guys on the other team, which added his muscle count to 10 pounds.
Once the game was over and the boys got in the locker room, Mike got on the scale. He now weighed 140 pounds! He noted that his arms seemed a bit thicker and his legs were a little bigger as well. His chest was more bulked out and he began to form abdominal muscles. He felt awesome! He was bigger and heavier!
On the other hand, all the guys on the other team (except the goalie) felt like they had lost something. They each felt a little... weaker, as they wondered how come they had all lost a pound of muscle during the soccer match...
