The decision was made in his mind in an instant. The pendant began to glow brightly before David had a chance to utter the words:
"I wish I was four years older."
After the brief flash of light subsided the three boys were left standing awe struck. David stood before his friends at 6'4" and with more muscle than he thought possible. He may not have become as built as his brother and his friends, they worked out all the time, but he definitely had some muscle. His clothes were way too small. so he stripped them off. He ended up standing in his room with his friends staring at him in his stretched out underwear.
David noticed that his chest and stomach had a light dusting of hair and his face itched. When he reached up to scratch his face he felt the rugged stubble of manhood. He looked to Paul and Sam in shock. They both had eyes as big as plates and their mouths hung agape.
"What am I going to do now?" David asked. "I can't just walk around the house suddenly four years older and expect my family to be okay with it."
"Well," Sam began. "You could leave, I guess. I mean, your brother is always mean to you and you could be easily rich with that thing."
"He has a point," Paul agreed. "You could have more fun than anybody in the world. And you could be the richest man ever!"
David nodded slowly. His mind beginning to race through options. He needed clothes, he needed to shave, he needed a place to stay, he needed food. He had no idea how to get along without his parents, but he knew that he couldn't just stay, suddenly 18 years old.
"I think I will leave," David told his two pals. "I'll leave a note for my mom. I need some clothes and I have GOT to shave. This hair on my face is driving me nuts."
"Well you can't run around the house like that to get clothes and razors." Paul said. "Me and Sam will sneak into your brother's room to get you that stuff."
The two younger boys ran out of the room to retrieve what David would need. They weren't long gone before they came crashing in the door, panting.
"We got it all." Paul said.
"Good, thanks," David said. He grabbed the pile of clothes and the razor and shaving cream from his buddies and went to his bathroom. He managed to shave his face without cutting himself. He studied himself in the mirror before grabbing up the clothes and putting them on. His face was more mature, more masculine with a strong jaw. His neck was thicker and his body, though still slim had a muscular definition that could not go unnoticed.
He realized how uncomfortable he was in the old underwear so he stripped them off. It was hard but he finally got them kicked off. When he stood and saw himself in the mirror his jaw dropped. He was packing now. The instantant that went by for him to finish puberty had done him wonders. With a smile on his face and new ideas cooking in his head he grabbed up the outfit his buddies and gathered for him.
They did really well considering they had no idea David's new sizes. The full AE outfit they had picked out for him fit perfectly. When he stepped out of the bathroom he saw his friends eyes light up. He must have looked pretty good.
"Well," David said. "I'm off to start an adventure."
