Aiden was super excited. Ever since he had gotten the internship at the transformation company, he had been placed on the super-secret project where a small group of scientists got to work on developing products which could lead to all kinds of interesting transformations. Not only did Aiden get placed on this team due to his artistic talents and wild imagination, but he was also very good at writing, painting, photography, and he had developed a knack for picking up the latest skills needed for creating amazing artwork and beautiful writings using Artificial Intelligence.
Aiden himself was intelligent but nerdy, he was often an introvert and a skinny, shy loner who liked doing things on his own. He lived in a small apartment, right next door to Kevin, his athletic neighbor. Both boys were 20-year-old, college sophomores who lived off-campus, although they were less than a mile away from the university. They had a small shopping center with places to eat and hang out very close by, and they were able to do everything off-campus if they wanted to. Kevin was the big, muscular jock who liked to spend every waking moment in the gym, in the pool, on the soccer field, or watching football, baseball or basketball. Kevin was just happy if he was surrounded by something that was sports related.
Both Kevin and Aiden would hang out together after class or on weekends and watch movies or go to the small restaurant down the street from their apartment, where they could get hamburgers, chicken wings or salads all day long. The place was a sports bar, so any or all the large flatscreen TVs were tuned into stations showing sporting events, so it was obvious that Kevin loved to go there.
It was by pure coincidence that these boys met at the transformation lab and that they also ended up as neighbors living right next door to each other. They would end up seeing each other all day long: at home, at work, and afterwards as well. Little did they know that Aiden’s secret project at work would end up bringing them even closer than they could ever imagine.
Although Kevin worked for the computer department and in the programming section of the lab, it was Aiden who was more involved in the creative process of what was going on at the lab. Hence, Aiden was the one who came home with all the new toys, gadgets, and experiments, which he was eager to show off or try out on his neighbor. Since Kevin was spending his days staring at a computer screen while writing mundane computer code all day, he was more than happy to see what kind of new, interesting thing Aiden would come up with. These inventions would make both Aiden, the shy guy, and Kevin, the bored programmer, incredibly excited. It was an escape from the monotony and the boredom and a fun way to try out something wild, creative, and maybe even a little bit crazy.
Kevin had just returned from a leg day workout in the basement gym of the apartment building when he got a text message from Aiden, which said nothing more than “Come over!”. He dropped his gym bag in his room before he locked up and knocked on Aiden’s apartment door. Aiden quickly opened up and let him in.
“Yo, bro! How was work today? I haven’t seen you all day long! You were locked up in the big meeting room with your lab buddies all day working on something, right?” Kevin asked him as Aiden pulled out a large plastic bag out of a suitcase.
“You got it! Check this thing out! We developed this super intense, high-tech suit!” Aiden said, as he pulled out this neatly folded, gray-colored spandex suit which at first looked like a wrestling singlet.
“A wrestling singlet? Oh, I got one of those, bro!” Kevin smiled, as he held it up.
“No, no! It’s not for wrestling, dude! It’s more than that!” Aiden chuckled.
“Ah! Is it for gymnastics? Or is it a new swimsuit?” Kevin wondered, holding it up and in front of him. “The material looks rather expensive and durable.”
“Dude! It’s called a ShiftiSuit!” Aiden grinned widely. “See, it covers all your legs, your torso and your arms.”
“Ah… Umm… I see that there is QR code printed on the sleeve. Interesting. So, who’s it for?” Kevin wondered, as he laid it down on the table.
“Well, I got to take this one home because I kinda figured it would fit… You!” Aiden replied with a big grin on his face. “And it’s much more than just a flashy, gray, spandex suit!”
“Why is that? It looks like an ordinary wrestling singlet to me!” Kevin shrugged. “I don’t see anything unusual about it!”
“The QR code is there so anyone can download and install the app on their phone that we developed for the suit. With the app, anyone can transform the wearer of the suit!” Aiden explained.
“Hey! Whoa! What? Wait a minute! Transform, what?” Kevin asked excitedly.
“If you put on this suit right now, then I can transform you into anything using this app on my phone!” Aiden replied in one breath while holding up an elaborate app on his phone’s screen. “I can’t wait to try it out! Please put it on, dude! Come on!” Aiden shouted for joy.
“Whoa! Wait! Transform? Transform what? Transform me, how? Into what?” Kevin said with a lot of skepticism and concern.
“Whatever you want, bro! I can make you bigger, taller, buffer, stronger, shorter, smaller, lighter, heavier… Anything! I can even make you into a cute chick! I can make you into the biggest bodybuilder or as tiny as a mouse. I can turn you into an animal, a plant, an object, or make you invisible, weightless, a liquid, a gas, or anything else. I can even send you places and put you in your soccer uniform or your gym clothes in an instant! I can grow your arms, your legs, your chest, or your torso. Or I can make you into a chair, a microwave, a truck, or a bulldozer, or even an airplane. Or a bird, a fish, a shark, or a fly!” Aiden continued. “The possibilities are endless and the options that are available are unlimited.”
Kevin just held the ShiftiSuit in his hand as he stared at Aiden in disbelief.
“You got to be kidding me, right? This suit can do all that?”
“Wanna try it?” Aiden said, almost jumping up and down. “Put it on. Take off ALL your clothes and put it on!”
Kevin got up and walked to the bathroom. Three minutes later, he came out, wearing Aiden’s gray suit, which covered him completely from his ankles to his neck.
“Are you ready? What do you want to try, first?” Aiden said, as he pulled up the app on his phone.
