John drove over to his friend, Jack’s house, who had his teenage nephew from England visiting over for a week. He was about to leave the next day, so Jack invited John over to come and meet the boy.
When John arrived, Jack let him sit down on the couch in the living room, when he called James inside. James was out in the back yard, kicking the soccer ball with a few other kids from the neighborhood.
“Yes, Uncle Jack?” the teen said politely as he walked in wearing a soccer jersey, socks, shorts and cleats.
“John, this is my nephew, James Weaver! He is from Plymouth, England!” Jack said as John stood up so he could shake hands with the British boy.
“Cheers!” James smiled politely as he shook John’s hand before he sat down next to him.
“I heard you’re flying back to England tomorrow?” John asked the teen.
“Aye! I need to go back! I should be back in school… I would love to stay but my mum wants me back, so I can return to classes…” the teen said sadly. “But, I like school, and football, of course!”
“I hope you’ll be back soon, over here!” John smiled.
“Oh, yes! I loved it here!” James grinned.
“So, do you do any other things besides football and school?” John asked him.
“Oh…. I also like rugby and cricket and I like to watch television now and then… When I have time, of course!”
“Do you like to help other people?” John wondered.
“Of course! I’m in a service club in school and I’m always helping out with chores and activities at school and at home!” James smiled as he shrugged.
“Well, I got something very cool for you!” John said as he pulled out a plastic container. “If you drink this, you will gain the powers of a God! By the time you arrive home tomorrow, you will be all-powerful and you will be able to do anything and you will have control over anything and anyone! All your desires and commands will come true!” John explained.
“Ohh wow… “James exclaimed as he held the container in his hand. “You want to give all that to ME?”
“Yes. Your Uncle Jack here says you’re very responsible and mature and he told me you could certainly handle all the responsibility! Is that true?” John smiled.
“Ohh…. Sure! I’m also in the Boy Scouts and I’ve been in leadership positions before!” James shrugged.
“Good… because you will need to make life decisions over the people whom you decide to help with your new powers…” John explained. “You may need to make decisions for them, do you understand?”
“Ohh… But…. If I drink this now, then will those powers start to work right away?” the boy asked.
“No, it takes about twelve hours for them to kick in. “John stated.
“That’s a shame! I’ll be in England, then!” the British boy exclaimed.
“Yes…. But…. You can always teleport back over here!” John smiled as he patted James on his back. “You’ll have God-powers, remember?”
“Oh! Right! Of course!” James chuckled. “I need to remember that!”
“So, go ahead and drink up!” John smiled.
James unscrewed the cap from the plastic container. He placed the spout of the container against his lips and he took one sip. Then, he continued and drank the rest of it, finishing the entire container. When he was done, he put the cap back on. He drank all of it in one, big gulp.
“That was good. It tasted just like apple juice!” James smiled as he handed John the empty container.
“Well, you will have God-powers in a few hours. Nothing will stop that now. Have a great flight and… Come and visit me!” John said as he stood up and walked out of the room after giving Jack and James a big hug.
“Thank you, Mr. John!” James smiled as John got in the car and drove back home.
Later, Jack brought James to the airport where the teen caught the plane back to London. He slept peacefully on the flight, not even thinking about the wonderful powers which had manifested themselves inside of the boy during the trip.
Several hours later, as James walked out of the airport, he realized he needed to take a taxi home. He silently wished he was back at his small flat already since he was tired from his trip. Then, in a blink of an eye, the teen vanished from the airport entrance and he materialized back at his own house in Plymouth!
“Whoa! It worked! I teleported! It really worked!” James cheered.
Then, James turned around and glanced at his suitcase. He bent down and opened it, looking down at the clothes. He waved his hand and the clothes were instantly folded and put away in his dresser and his shirts were all hung in his closet!
“Ohh…. I like having this power!” James grinned. “Now…. Shall I stay here and have fun with my friends, or go back to America and have fun over there?” the teen god wondered out loud.
