Jaime jumped on the box just before it opened. "Phew, close one!"
Brian was in hysterics and couldn't keep still. "Take it now! I can't hold it down much longer!" yelled Jaime.
Darren poured all of the lemonade into Brian's mouth and smoke started to form. Just after Brian drank the lemonade, Jaime was thrown off the box as it shot open; but Brian was already changing. They all ran over to Brian to check if the transformation had been successful.
"Well he looks normal.." Joe said, walking over to Brian who was not responding. "Brian can you hear me?"
Brian looked at them "I...I" he stumbled with his words.
He didn't know what to say. All of the Starkids pulled him into a group hug.
"It's good to have you back Brian."
The first words that came out of his mouth were, "Where's Darren?"
"It's OK, Brian. Darren's right here, and he was changed too, and everything's going to be fine."
Brian and Darren embraced. "I'm so glad we're back, I thought we'd never make it."
"But wait, Darren," said Jaime. "How did you become a jaguar in the first place?"
"Well I saw Brian get turned into a puppy so naturally I ran after the fairy and..." he frowned at the memory.
"Let's go home," they all agreed. "Brian and Darren have been through enough today."
When they got home, they all settled down to their favourite playlist; it had been a long day. Darren and Brian were awkwardly seated on the couch, for they were still used to curling up on all fours... They both looked at each other.
"Would it be weird if we..?"
"Nah," Brian decided, climbing off the couch and settling on the floor.
"Is he actually.." Joey gaped at him.
Darren gave in and joined Brian on the floor; the rest of them just laughed. They were exhausted and soon fell asleep. Everyone chuckled as Darren growled and Brian twitched his nose. Other than the fact that Brian and Darren were lying like puppies on the carpet, everything was finally normal! However, the Starkids all knew that they couldn't wait for their next great adventure.
