Chapter #4Slightly more muscular by: Unknown Alex does not see the laser like line pointed at his back, which to Tom's delight, was not bright or could draw attention and at a distance could easily be dismissed. Alex feels his arms get slightly tighter in his clothes and then his chest, he then felt something shift in his underwear and he felt something tingle in his legs and abdomen, though they don't stretch his trousers or shirt. He then feels the pressure slack partly, he saw this as he looked down the fabric went less taught. He then notices he is also slightly taller. Maybe an inch, but it's enough to make him slightly dizzy.
Wondering what just happened he looks to his left over his shoulder to see Tom frantically ushering him inside. I mean this was technically the best option right now. But he needed to finish the lawn. He turned off the engine and shouted up to Tom:
"What was that?"
"I'll tell you but come here and don't say anything yet."
"I need to finish this real quick give me a minute." Before Tom could protest Alex had fired up the lawnmower and continued along the lawn for about 30 seconds before putting the mower away. He felt embarrassed and it was made worse as perhaps his mum might see. He was quite short and thin until a moment ago much like Tom. But now he was probably what someone at school would call "fit".
Unfortunately coming out the kitchen his mum was there. He braced himself as she'd probably realise something was different quickly.
"What are you looking like I'm going to kill you? Did you mow the flowers down or something?"
"No... I just got startled I didn't here you." He didn't hear distinct change in his voice but his voice felt slightly heavier. His heart was pounding with anxiety but he tried to hide his redness in the shade away from the light coming through the door.
"Okay Alex. If you really hate mowing the lawn that much I'm surprised you don't do it faster. Don't know how you put on that muscle if you only jog with Dad once a week." She paused before seeing him grab his shoes. He felt a more usual embarrassment but enhanced a bit by his state. "You going out to Tom's or something?"
"Yeah".
"Well see you. It's One O'clock now, make sure to be back for Six. I'll call you if you aren't here by then."
"Ok".
She gave him a confused and amused look before leaving.
As Alex put his shoes on and left, he could hear his ears throbbing, but he realised from what mum had said, that she acted like he was always that way. He theorised that maybe the only people who noticed these transformations were the people causing it and the people affected. Tom caused that right? Well he couldn't be sure of anything.
Tom answered the door and let him in. They rushed upstairs and got to Tom's room.
"Alex I found this, look." Alex looked for a moment before Tom continued: "I pointed it at you and my hand almost locked into aim and a red laser hit your back... you..." he blushed "this is awkward". Alex told Tom what he saw and theorised. Tom agreed this was probably true. They discussed a few things for a minute or two. Alex also let tom feel him a bit as well, they were enjoying theirselves for a short while. Then out of nowhere a white solid but thin tab stuck out. It was almost like a screen, with a panel of sorts on the larger right side and instructions on the smaller left side.
"This wand can increase muscle mass in anyone, it has no restrictions or direct health implications apart from gain or loss of muscle mass, body fat or other tissue that support the affected organism. To the right are controls on this paper, this wand is now binded to the person who found it and the people who they are sharing it with. The earliest person it is binded with can terminate this connection with anyone. Unless they choose to make another person immune to these terminations. When all connected people die, the wand will have to be found again by someone. If connected people separate completely for a semi-permanent time, a duplicate will be made for them. Only the earliest binded user can connect more people. Check the right panel for settings. Refer to here if you need help finding a control." They exchanged glances, they then looked at the right panel, it had two tabs, fat mass and muscle mass, it had slide bars and multiple choice settings for many things: muscle mass and other masses, external attention, height, public muscle mass limit (for original wand only), voice change strength, starting mass, change speed, strength of sudden jumps (timed appropriately), Jump speed and other settings, it also had a visualiser to the left.
"I don't think we'd want everyone to notice the changes in a normal way" said Alex.
"Mmm no" said Tom impatiently. As if reading their minds, this setting locked "natural reaction". They exchanged a glance. The other settings were "Natural comments, artificial memory" the boys interpreted this as what had just happened, Alex's Mum made normal comments but acted as if it was normal. Then there was "User preferred comments and artificial memory" with a textbox when selected below and a button saying "read mind". Which seemed to be what they generally preferred certain people to react. And then "no comments" which spoke for itself. They set it to user preferred comments. Also there were specifics inside of the muscle mass settings which allowed changes in sizes or certain body parts, this also had a sort of mind read option. They played around a bit and prepared something Tom wanted to be.
Before they did anything however Tom's mum walked in making them jump.
"Heya brought some digestives", she handed a small tray of four to Tom in the hand he was holding the wand, his mum spoke "well take it then" he grabbed it with both hands, their hearts went into their mouths for a moment as the wand bounced along the tray, and went straight through their mum's hand... She didn't even see it, she can't see it!! The boys exchanged a surprised look before Tom's mum left the room.
"Can we even loose it?" Said Tom.
"Wow." Said Alex, "Let's see". Before Tom could say anything Alex grabbed the wand and chucked it out the window.
"No!" Said Tom.
"Oops!" Alex said, he didn't realised how hard he was about to chuck it and while he aimed to get it to the back of Tom's garden it might just go over the fence. It suddenly flew back however and straight into Alex's hand.
"Us two are gonna have fun" said Alex.
"Yeah..." Tom was lost for words. They were both gay so they always shared their thoughts and wishes for example to become fitter without going to the trouble of asking their parents. But now they could become inhumanely huge. They agreed to do it gradually, building up to their 17th birthday almost two years away, but set their own default masses together over the course of that time carefully. They could mess around anytime, but this was going to be their everyday mass now. They one at a time, pointed the wand at the mirror and shot.
How big is their starting mass?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
