"So will you be buying the Wishing Powder?" asks Swizzle placing the Wishing Powder on the counter top next to the cash register.
"Not today," you answer," but maybe tomorrow."
"Very well my friend," Swizzle says and takes it back," but remember this is a popular item and might not be here for long."
"I'll remember that," you answer and bid Swizzle farewell.
You head home and start thinking about how the Wishing Powder really could effect your life. One minute you're a skinny teen next you could be an obese one. It's powerful stuff and you really need to think it over.
You arrive home to see that Mike is still home and his truck is still parked in the drive way. You get inside and take off your shoes and head towards your bedroom and find Mike sitting back and watching some TV. Lucky for you he's wearing some black shorts and a red t-shirt, but that shirt is looking pretty tight around that belly of his.
"Hey little bro," Mike greets," long time no see."
"Indeed," you agree and Mike lifts himself off the couch and comes over and gives you a big bear hug.
"I missed you man," Mike tells you and smiles and gives you another hug.
"I missed you too," you answer. Mike is an annoying older brother, but he is your brother after all," Looks like you beefed up at college."
"You bet," Mike says letting you go and backing up and lifting up his shirt to expose his furry belly," added a good 35 pounds at college."
"Impressive," you smile and poke his belly.
"It's not all belly," Mike tells you," I also added muscle too."
"Nice," you congratulate.
"I could probably bench press you," Mike grins and gives you a poke," so no new meat on you?"
"Nope," you sigh.
"It'll come," Mike tells you," Like Uncle Berry who finally began to gain when he was 30."
"True," you agree. Your Uncle Berry is your Mom's cousin and is a big guy these days," It's good to have you back."
"Nice to be back," Mike agrees and you head up to your room and pop in your new CD and begin listening to it. And you begin thinking about the Wishing Powder.
Soon your folks get home and it's pizza time. You sit at the table and feel really out of place with Mike being back. You're the slimmest person at the table. Even your Mom is bigger then you. After 4 slices of pizza you head back upstairs and continue thinking about the Wishing Powder and wishes you could make.
You don't have to wish yourself to 400 pounds automatically. You could wish for your metabolism to slow down, or to gain 5 pounds per month. Or Wish you followed your Dad and Uncle's footprints and gain a lot of weight at college. Or wish yourself to be 400 pounds by the time you're 21. Yeah, you could do almost anything with the powder. You decide you're going to buy it tomorrow, since it's already late.
The Next Day
You wake up and jump out of bed so fast you get a rush of blood to your head and feel dizzy. After you've recovered you get dressed into a blue polo shirt and some black shorts and head downstairs to see your folks getting ready to go to work.
"You're up early," says your Dad looking up from tying his shoes.
"Of course," you answer," I'm going to buy something at the mall."
"It better not be another video game," you Mom warns checking her briefcase.
"Of course not," you answer. You plan on getting another one later in the month.
"Well have fun," your Dad wishes," don't destroy the house or get Mike mad."
"I'll try not to," you grin.
Your Mom gives you a kiss good bye and your Dad gives you a hug and they head off to work. You pour yourself a bowl of cereal and quickly eat it and head back upstairs and grab your wallet. You tip toe to Mike's room and peer in to see that he's snoring and drooling on his pillow. Nothing new here.
You head back downstairs and grab your house keys on the hanger and lock the door and head towards the mall.
