The Sorcerer's New Apprentice 3: The Student Body Goes Through Some Changes (ap musc)
by Alyn Roze
At Brian’s school the first few hours at school were uneventful. The school curriculum had the students busy for most of their day. But as most schedules go a few students had fallen through the cracks and found time to wonder the halls lurking for unsuspecting students. Two such predatory students were the school bullies, David Newcomer and Randy James. They are the schools star football players and they were able to spend their day anyway they wanted. If the school hadn’t set them up tutors their academic scores would not have been up to academic standards. Due to school policy any student that didn’t maintain a respectable GPA will be unable to play any sports. Today David and Randy were sitting in the library harassing their fellow students. The football jocks barely had a sixth grade reading ability so most of their reading material was limited to the latest issues of Sports Illustrated, the swimsuit issue of course.
“Dude, wouldn’t this look good on my girlfriend?”
“Which one, you have so many of them? And for some reason you don’t want to share any of them”
“Ya know the one with the big tits ...”
“… And with the blond hair, Yo dude she would look so hot in that outfit.” Randy hands the magazine back to David. “But I’d rather have the model in the suit.”
“NAH, I’d rather have Sherry, the chicks in the magazine are too skinny.”
“S - S - S - S - S! Gentlemen if you don’t keep it down I’m going to have to report you to the Principal again.” Mr. Limpner, the school librarian, said in a low but stern voice.
“Keep it down he said.”Randy snickered. “I wish I could.”
The two jocks were good at innuendos even though they couldn’t spell the word. They started poking at each other and laughing until they noticed that the librarian was not amused. They quickly composed themselves and sat up straight in their chairs like good little boys. They were already in trouble with the Principal
“Sorry Mr. Limpner.” They said in unison. As soon as he was out of ear shot they started laughing again.
“Maybe if ole Limpy had a girlfriend he would get that stick out of his ass.”
“Haven’t you heard, it’s all over school, Ole Limpy is gay? Rumor has it that he was seen coming out of the Back Room Bar two weeks ago.”
The once quite room was filled with laughter by the two jocks. Apparently the conversation with the librarian had little effect on their attitude. Brian had been trying to enjoying a free period in the library. The young apprentice could have done something drastic to the two noisy degenerates but there were too many people in the room. Brian decided to try a more subtle approach, but what should he do? Then he had an idea on how to teach the guys a lesson.
“So you two think that being gay is humorous?” Brian said under his breath. “Open your feeble little minds and let me see how deep this humor goes.”
Brian’s mind searched through the layers dribble that made up their minds. He probed deeper into their subconscious until he found what he was looking for.
“Ok boys you both going to have a change of life style for awhile.” Brian said to himself. “For the rest of study hall you two will slowly become more open with your feelings. Since you both do everything together you will need to be more than just best friends, you will become lovers. You will very open with your feelings towards each other and will not be able to stop yourselves in public.”
Brian watch as David looked at Randy like a long lost lover.
“I don’t know why I didn’t see it before but you have the bluest eyes I have seen.”
“Dude!”
With a look of embarrassment on his face David said in a soft tone. “Sorry Dude. It just came out.”
“It’s ok sweetie I like your brown eyes too.”Randy pats the top of David’s right thigh. He leaves his hand dangerously close to David’s groin. The bulge in his pants started to get bigger the closer the hand got. David reciprocated by doing the same thing with the same results.
Even from where he was sitting Brian could see that David and Randy were enjoying where they had placed their hands. The entire study hall could see that something was different about the two guys. Brian’s gift made sure their actions were perceived as only strange. He would not leave them that way for very long. He was waiting for the right moment to change them back. Brian looked at the clock and saw that it was just about time for the noon day bell to sound.
Brian sent out a telepathic message to the now lip locked lovers. “Ok boys, I want you to maintain that kissing session until the bell quits ringing. You will then return to your previous state of mind. You both will be totally aware of what you are currently doing but will unable to stop.”
David and Randy were in the middle of a French kiss when the bell rang. The bell announced that it was lunch time for the school. They opened their eyes and saw who they were actually kissing. They both spat in opposite directions and tried to release each other and but found one of their hands was down the others pants. Having been released from their euphoric trance that Brian had put them under the entire study hall began to laugh at David and Randy antics. Shirts and pants that were opened during the cuddling were re-buttoned and closed by the stunned jocks. David and Randy quickly “composed” themselves before they left the library.
Lunch time was the one time of the day that all of the students were out of class for an hour.Everyone was enjoying the free time away from all their studies. The entire student body was having lunch in the common area of the school. The school provided outside eating area areas for the students when the weather permitted. Some students were able meet with friends at this time to compare notes on shared subjects, while others found time to harass the weaker students. This was one of few times that the entire student body was allowed to roam free. The mass of students were like herds of wild animals on the African savanna, everyone traveled in their own individual groups. There was safety in numbers. Anyone daring enough to travel alone was fair game for the school bullies.
David and Randy had met up with the rest of the football team at lunch time. The two jocks were relieved to find out that their fellow teammates were unaware of what had happened in study hall, or at least no one was willing to say anything. Little did the two friends know that Brian had made sure that once a student left the study hall the incident was forgotten, that is all except for David and Randy?
When the jocks were all together, like a pack of wolves, everyone stayed out of their way. They had their own table in the common area but it didn’t keep the team from changing tables if the mood suits them. Heaven help the students at the table they wanted.
Only two weeks into the school year and the new pack was on the move for their table. The schools janitorial staff was still in the process of replacing the outside tables with newer ones. Earlier the staff had replaced all the tables in one section except for one. Since THEIR table was no longer around they search for a new one. The new table they want was currently being populate by the computer science club, the emphasis on was.
Brian had been at several of these encounters last year and this was shaping up to be another one.The pack of jocks was surrounding the table. Most of the students saw that the pack was on the move and steered clear of them. The new freshmen to the high school had never met the pack of jocks yet. If first impressions account for anything the freshmen were easily frightened and that was the way the bullies liked it.
Through the years the names changed but the tactics stayed the same. Younger team members rose through ranks to become one of the top dogs of the pack. Brian had made it through high school with nary an encounter with the football team bullies but it didn’t mean that he was left out from the persecution. Very few of the student body knew that David was Brian’s cousin. He knew that fact all too well. When at home, his brother Jason was nice to him but when he was with his younger cousin and their close friend Randy, Brian’s life was a living hell. But that was all going to change as of today.
All during lunch Brian had been sitting off by himself observing to activities of the pack of bullies. Occasionally one of his friends would come up to him and strike up conservation but his mind was always on the crowd. The more he watched the pack do their worse the madder he got until he could take no more and shouted. “STOP IT!”
To Brian’s surprise everything stopped moving. “Whoa, I can stop time too, neat. Now let’s see if I can make a few changes.”
Brian walked over to David and began talking to his frozen cousin. “Well, well, well David I see that you are still up to your old tricks again. The last change I did I went easy on you but this next change will be a lot more drastic. You will slowly trade places with the very next person you pick on. Let’s see how you like being one of the little guys for a change.”
Brian started to go back to where he was before he froze time but turned back to the bully of a cousin. “OH! … And one more thing David, no one will notice the change except you and me. If you try to tell someone who you really are they will not believe you. Have a nice day cousin.”
Brian was pleased at what he had done to his cousin as he walked back to his table. He sat back down and picked up the book he was reading and said “GO!” Everything started moving again, including David.
Brian looked around at the crowd in the common area of the school and spotted someone that David needed to meet. There was a chess game going on in one corner of the common area. Brian concentrated real hard on one of the players and found out that his name was Daniel McFadden. Brian sent out a telepathic message only Daniel would hear.
Daniel McFadden, I see in your mind that the bullies have picked on you many times in the past. I am giving you a chance to change things here at the school.How you changes things is up to you. Right now you need to go to the bathroom real bad. You will go to the restroom next to the bullies table. When David touches you, you and he will change places with each other.
Over at the distant table the urge to go to go pee hits Daniel McFadden hard. “Apologizes for my sudden departure gentlemen but a postponement of our current competition is in order. The prerequisite for fluid evacuation is essential at this juncture of our diversionary recreation. My return will be post haste.
Daniel saw that the closet restroom was on the other side of the jocks table. The urgent need to go overrode he need for survival as he headed towards the restroom.
Randy spots a guy with black rim glasses heading their direction. He taps David on the shoulder and says in a fake lisp “Hey big guy here comes another one of “those” guys again.”
“Ah gentlemen, here comes fresh meat.” David says rubbing his hands together. “We haven’t picked on the chess club in days.”
Daniel tries to go quickly past the table when suddenly a very large leg darts in front of his path. He turns around to find an alternate route but is blocked by a wall of muscle.
“Danny, Danny, Danny? Where are you going in such a hurry?” David said as he takes Brian’s reading glasses
“I have a very important appointment in a few minutes. Now if you will excuse me I …” Daniel said suddenly losing his urgency to go the restroom as he pees his pants in front of the jocks.
“Now, now Danny, we can’t have an individual such as you going astray on a prospect to integrate into our little contingent.” David cleans the glasses that he had in his hands
Everyone at the table looked at David like he was speaking a foreign language. One of the other jocks was the first to speak up. “What did he say?”
“When did you learn to speak geek David?” Randy asked his friend
“What are you talking about I don’t speak geek.” David said still holding the reading glass. “Whose glasses am I holding?”
“They’re your glasses David.” Randy said. “You know you can’t see without them.”
“What the hell are you talking about? I don’t wear glasses. See they don’t even fit me.” David took the glasses and puts them on his face as soon they made contact with his face his vision changed. Unnoticed by everyone around him, except for Brian, the rest his body was changing as well. He took glasses back off of his face everything he saw became blurry. He put them back on and everything came back into focus.
“What has transpired to the scenery in my vicinity of perception?” David said. “The Commandant of the football team cannot be observed displaying ocular apparatus.
“Does anybody here speak geek?”
“I think he believes he’s the captain of the football team.”Randy said. “Hey Dan this little geek thinks he’s captain of the football team.”
David’s transformation into a geek worked in reverse as well. Just a few minutes ago Daniel was standing there looking into the face of one the biggest seniors sitting in front of him. Now he was looking down into the face of a shorter under classmen. On the face of this little under classmen were his glasses. Dan reached up to his own face and finds that indeed his glass were missing When he brought his hand back down he got a look of an arm that was twice the size of his original arm. That was when he noticed that his clothes were feeling a little tight on his body. He looked down at the rest of his body and found that he had grown bigger.Dan’s body had been transformed into a jocks body but his mind was still his own. The transformation was so complete that the wet spot had been transferred from Danny to David as well.
“Hey Dan are you ok? You don’t seem to be yourself today”
The still bewildered Dan was trying to think of something fast. “I was just wondering why this little ... a ... a ... geek is sitting in my seat?”
Dan reached down and lifted the geek out of the chair he was sitting in. He suspended David in front of him at arm’s length. With his feet dangling inches above the ground, David looks into the eyes of his capture. Trying to act tuff in front of the rest of guys, Dan drops the now smaller David to the ground. “Oh and one more thing geek boy never sit in my place again.”
“But I’m the Commandant of the football team.”David wined as he looked up at the huge teen.
Dan looked over to the pack of bullies. With a cautious grin on his face he looks back down at David on the ground “Captains of the football team don’t piss their pants. Go home and change your depends little man and we may leave your kind alone for a few days.”
David picked himself up off of the ground and stumbled away from his use to be his friends.
His life has been turned upside down.His once loyal teammates had just deserted him for a new self appointed team captain. David really didn’t know very many of the other students. His circle of friends had been the football team and now they were gone. David wondered aimlessly around the common area in his wet pants not knowing where to go or who to confide in. Suddenly he hears a familiar voice.
“How does it feel to be on the other side of a bully attack cousin?”
“The sudden evacuation of bodily fluids accompanied by the deficit of camaraderie is most unpleasing …” He turns around saw his cousin Brian. For years he had been a half a head taller than his cousin but now they stood face to face. “What the hell?”
“Feeling a little height deprived?”
“The precipitous deficiency of vertical elevation is most displeasing cousin.” David said in geek speak as he pushed his glasses back up to the bridge of his nose. The words he was using were foreign to his ears but somehow in his mind he knew their meaning.
“What would you say if I told you that I was responsible for your current situation?”
“I would articulate a grievance of questionable validity.” David said. “The confirmation of legitimacy would be momentously pleasurable.”
“Did you just say that you wanted proof?” Brian said. “Well how about I dumb you down a bit first. All those big words you’re using are giving me a headache. From now on you will regain your formal level of education, but maintain your current body.”
“But I don’t want to look like a geek.”David wined again. “I want my old body back too damn it!”
“You may look like a little kid but you sound like the same old David.” Brian looks directly into David’s eyes. “If you don’t mind your mouth I’ll lower your age back down to a fifth grade level. It’s your decision.”
Grabbing Brian’s shirt David yells. “Damn it! I want my old life back.”
“You think that because we are the same size you can make me do anything LITTLE man.”Brian knocks David’s hands away. In an angry tone Brian continues talking, poking his cousin’s chest at key words in each sentence. “That was the wrong choice. Now you will see and feel what it is like to be the youngest in the family. From now on your formal life does not exist anymore. Everyone that knew you will now think of you as my younger brother. You and I are the only ones that know the truth. You will not be able to tell anyone what I have done to you. The only one you will be able to tell will be your closest friend and right now you don’t have any. So I think my secret is safe for now. I am letting you keep your current level of intelligence but you will only be able to use words that a fifth grader knows. If you behave yourself I might give you back your original age and body.”
David could feel his body getting younger and younger with each word his cousin said. Everything around him was betting bigger. He had to look up to see his cousins/brothers face. “What till I tell mom … I mean Aunt Mary … that you are picking on me again.”
Now looking down at his new little brother Brian speaks in a mock angry voice. “Why don’t you go run along little Davie before I make you my BABY brother.”
Before he got out of sight Brian made a few more changes to little Davies lifestyle and wardrobe. “I’m sure he will have plenty to talk about when he gets home tonight.”
