The twins settled in for the night with the resolution that Henry would take the hit and transform into their father and have the meeting with their principal Mr. Franklin. Sleep was uneasy but eventually they both were able to get some rest. As they awoke in the morning their plan was put into action.
“Henry! You’re going to be late,” their mother called up.
“Im not feeling good Mom, come check my temperature.”
The twins had worked out that Henry would stay home “sick” so that he would have time to do the prep work to be ready for his meeting with Mr. Franklin. So the twins were employing the oldest trick in the book. An artificially warmed thermometer.
“You don’t feel too warm to me. Let me see that,” their mother said.
“Mom, come on. Hurry up, I’m going to be late!” Sam said. Sam was responsible for making their mother be pressured into a too fast decision. The twins had worked this trick before to success and knew that their scheme would unravel under too much pressure.
“You’re really not feeling good?” Their mother asked Henry.
“Yeah, I think it might be strep”
“Oh no! Can’t have you spreading that around. I’ll get you an appointment”
“No, don’t do that yet. It just feels bad, let me get some more sleep and we can try the doctor later.”
“Mom!!! We have to go!!!” Sam called out at the exact right time.
“Alright, but I’m going to check on you later,” she said as she stood up, planted a kiss on Henry’s forehead and proceeded out the door with Sam and Madeline.
“That’s a problem for later to solve, for now I need to find the YourEssence pills and get this started”
Henry scoured over his parent’s bathroom looking for their YourEssence pills. It should be a quick and painless process to become a clone of his father, get dressed, and then get himself down to the school. Unfortunately, when trying to find their pills he only found one bottle. “Whose bottle is this?” He wondered to himself.
“No time to waste though. Bottoms up,” and with that, Henry swallowed the pill. He knew that they were relatively fast acting and indeed it was only about 30 minutes until he felt the changes had begun. It looked like skeletal changes were first as Henry became taller. He didn’t have a reference for how tall he was becoming but he knew he was taller overall as his pants no longer ended at his ankles.
Stripping his clothes off to avoid any other uncomfortable situations, he sat there feeling the warmth of his body as different parts underwent their respective changes. His feet, his hands, his muscles all were swelling with heat and change. Everything was going to plan and since the process didn’t hurt at all, Henry accidentally fell asleep. He dreamt of his future encounter with Mr. Franklin and how he would handle it. He went through the details that he had worked out with Sam. He would explain that the boys will pay the school back from the jobs they are going to get as a result of your family hardship with the loss of your father’s job. Everything went just right in Henry’s dream and he was feeling much better for himself.
When Henry woke up he was disoriented. Sitting up was odd and Henry felt out of sorts in ways he couldn’t put his finger on.
