It started out as a normal day. The racers had managed to create a hidden garage in the basement by pushing one of the stones in the wall. Once in the garage you could work on your car without any neighbors seeing it. One night Monkey forgot to shut the door behind him when he went to go work on his Nitrox 3 and a half. Just with his luck it blew up and sent sparks flying out of the basement window, which of course was seen by the neighbors. But luckily none of the people in the neighborhood called the police. But any way, most of the racers were as usual, working on their cars. The only thing that was not normal was that Tezla hadn't made a appearance yet. Most of the racers didn't think anything of it, but others seemed to be slightly worried. Nolo tried to get the answers out of Lani.
"He's probably working on a project that he doesn't want anyone to know about just yet, but he never told me anything about whatever he is working on." was their only response.
It continued this way for the entire day. Everyone seemed to become restless, it got so bad that Pork Chop even started a conversation with Shurako to learn of his ideas! The time was nine o'clock when everyone decided to hit the sack. They had all agreed that if Tezla doesn't show up in the morning they will break into his lab and demand a explanation. Little did they know Tezla had been watching each of them fall asleep, an evil smile came over his face as he imagined what each of them would say when they woke up in the morning. He looked to the last racer who seemed to be having the hardest time going to sleep. Kurt lay in bed, wishing he knew what Tezla was up to. But for some reason the little voice inside his head kept telling him, " not good, not good beware beware!" He tried to rub it off but it kept running in his mind. He rolled over and soon found himself in a deep sleep. No later did he fall asleep than the door of the room all the men were sleeping in opened. Tezla stood at a door way. He walked to the side of Kurt's bed and held up a gun. Or it looked like a gun, but it had wires coming out of where the bullets should have been. Kurt stirred in his sleep, Tezla was about to pull the trigger when an idea sprang into his mind, "Why not wait until morning so you could get everyones reactions, just shoot one that you will get the best reaction out of in the morning then get the rest." The same smile came upon Tezla's face and he looked around the room, his eyes rested on one Teku and one Metal Maniac. Shurako and Pork Chop were fast asleep, Shurako's head was bobbing from his head phones while Pork Chop was hugging that stuffed pig he always had at night. Tezla walked over to each of their beds, aimed his "gun", and pulled the trigger, it only was a slight humming and as a white light covered the two racers, but it worked. It took every ounce of energy in Tezla to stop himself from laughing at his own handy work. He went back to his room and slept with a smile on his face, dreaming about what would happen in the morning.
Shurako woke up, and walked down the hall to the restroom like every other day. Since there was only one bathroom Shurako always made sure he was the first to get up so he didn't have to wait up for anyone. He had finished showering and was about to brush his hair out when he heard a pounding at the bathroom door. Pork Chop was the second person to wake up in the morning.
"Will you hurry it up in there Teku?!"
Pork Chop's voice seemed different for some reason to Shurako, but he didn't think anything of it. He opened the door of the bathroom to retort to Pork Chop's statement, but when he looked out all he found was a 14ish boy who was staring at him as if he saw a ghost.
Shurako stared for a while,
" Um can I help you?"
The boy eyes got wider than they already were.
"Shurako??"
Shurako's eyes got wider that the boy's.
"Pork Chop?!"
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??" was what they said in unison. Both looked at each other with question in their eyes, then ran to the mirror, when each saw their own reflection, their jaws dropped! The bulky Pork Chop every one knew was replaced by a skinny red head who seemed to have slight whiskers of a red beard growing in a messy fashion. Shurako was replaced by a very pale kid with big brown eyes one forth the size of his head.
Shurako took one look in his mirror and went pale.
"Oh, No." His voice was barely a whisper, but it was enough to get Pork Chop's attention, he looked at the now 12 year old Teku with wide eyes.
"What happened to your voice?!" Shurako looked at Pork Chop and mumbled,
"It hasn't cracked yet, what about yours? I thought a boy's voice was supposed to crack when he's 13. You look 14." Pork Chop grumbled, he never wanted anyone to know it but his voice didn't crack until hes was 15.
There was a brief silence of looking each other up and down until Shurako burst out in laughter.
"What's so funny Teku?!"
Shurako stopped laughing long enough for him to breath and answer Pork Chop's question.
"You look so weird!"
Pork Chop glared at Shurako for a while until he growled,
"Well you don't look so great your self, bug eyes!"
Shurako froze, and stared at the now satisfied looking Metal Maniac, his eyes narrowed as he pulled up his sleeves. Now usually no one would dare to pick a fight with Pork Chop, but now, it was pay back time!
