Henry's POV
I limp down the sidewalk towards Junk'N'Stuff. The emergency was that a thief was in a backpack store aross the street. When I got there ,the thief was running down an alley beside the store with two backpacks. I ran down the alley and tackled him. I surprisingly got him down ,but when we hit the ground ,he grabbed a lead pipe that was laying on the ground and hit me in the leg. The pain embedded in my leg as I tried to get up. I really needed Ray. The thief struggled to get up ,but he finally got up. When he got up ,I got up ,grabbed my laser ,and shot him. He collapsed and went unconscious . I handcuffed him to a dumpster and called the police and told them where he was. When I open the door to Junk'N'Stuff , My leg buckles and I fall. Gooch is sitting at the counter.
"Hello Henry" Gooch says casually too busy to notice that I had fallen.
"Hey. have you seen Charlotte or Ray?" I ask as I get up and walk over to Gooch.
"No ,how did the mission go?" He asks.
"Well I caught him ,but my leg is hurt pretty bad" I say and sit down to roll up my pant leg. It looks pretty bad. It's bruised and its got a little cut where the pipe had a sharp edge.
"Why?" He says. I roll my pant leg back down and stand up.
"Well the guy-" I say right before Schwoz walks through the door with some bags.
"Hey guys. Is Ray here?" He asks as he walks toward the elevator.
"No not yet. What's that?" I ask.
" It's some scientific tools to help me find out more about the weapon the Toddler used to turn Ray into a kid" He says. I follow him into the elevator.
"Oh cool. Hey I've always wanted to ask. Why did you make the elevator-" I say when the acceleration of the elevator forces me to the floor.
"What did you say? Why are you in floor?" Schwoz says while the elevator is going down and I'm screaming in the floor. The elevator stops and the door opens. I get up.
"Why did you make the elevator like that!?" I ask in a loud voice.
"Oh well originally I didn't mean to ,but it was funny watching people come down it. So we kept it like that" He says with a smile.
"Okay" I say and shake my head. Schwoz walks over to the table he still has set up and sits down his bags. He takes out a bunch of beakers and other unusual devices and sets them on the table.
"So do you think your going to be able to change Ray back to normal?" I ask and pick up one of the beakers.
" Maybe I need to see how the Toddler managed to make a weapon that does that" He says and puts the beaker I have and sets it on the table.
"Okay" I say and sit down by the computers. I hope Ray will be able to change back soon. I don't know if I can keep fighting crime by myself.
Ray's POV
The school bell rings and Charlotte and I are walking out of school. Today was surprisingly great. I arm wrestled like five guys and won every time. I also got like four girls' numbers .I was like the cool guy at the school. I felt like a real kid again. I think I actually want to go back.
"So did you like today ,Ray?" Charlotte asks.
"Yeah. I really liked it" I say. I wonder how Henry did with the emergency? I'm sure he did great. We walk into Junk'N'Stuff. Gooch is sitting at the counter.
"Hey Gooch. Is Henry back yet?" I ask.
"Yes. He is downstairs with Schwoz" Gooch says.
"Okay thanks" I say. Charlotte and I walk into the elevator. When the elevator goes down , Charlotte falls and screams. The elevator stops and the door opens. Charlotte gets up and I just walk out. Henry is sitting on the couch with an ice pack on his leg which makes fear grip me. Schwoz is at his table with a bunch of scientific stuff.
"Hey guys. What's up?" Henry says.
"What happened to your leg?" I ask as I walk over to him.
"Oh it just got bruised" Henry says.
"Okay good I thought something bad happened" I say in relief. Henry looks at me with a dull face.
"Not that that's not bad. What happened?" I ask and sit down next to his foot.
" Well after I tackled him, he hit me in the leg with a pipe" Henry says as he adjusts his ice pack on his leg.
"Oh yeah that should not feel good" I say.
"No it doesn't. How dis you day go?" Henry says.
"It went great .Thanks for inviting me. It really helped me feel better about everything" I say.
"Your welcome. You can come tomorrow if you want" Henry says. I'm about to say something ,but Schwoz cuts me off.
"Uhh Ray, I'm going to need you for tests tomorrow" Schwoz says. I'm kind of disappointed. I kind of wanted to go.
"Okay" I say casually. I try not to show that I'm disappointed.
"Alright now I'm going to need to do some more tests. Ray stand straight in front of the table" Shwoz says. I stand in front of the table and Schwoz takes out a flashing gun.
"Uh what is that?" I ask with wide eyes.
"I've studied your blood and the tests that I've taken and I have made something that might change you back" Schwoz says in excitement. Dissapointment comes over me. I really like being a kid. It's something I haven't been able to experience before. I would really like
"Really?" Charlotte asks in surprise.
"Yes but there is a chance that it might not" Schwoz says.
"Okay and if it doesn't?" I ask
"Oh nothing happens except...you just might not be able to walk for a little while" He says. Fear runs into my body.
"What!" I scream.
"Look do you want to get changed back or not?" Schwoz says. I look at myself for a minute and then look at Shwoz.
"Okay do it" I say. Schwoz powers up his gun and shoots. A laser comes towards me and I brace myself. The laser hits me and shocks me for about ten seconds and stops. Suddenly, I fall and hit the floor. I look at my hand. It looks the same as it did before Schwoz zapped me. I put my hand down and lay in the floor.
"Well that didn't work" Henry says.
"I know it didn't work!" Schwoz yells and walks over to me. I try to get up ,but my legs are numb. I look at Schwoz and he smiles at me in a "Im sorry" way. I use my arms to crawl over get up on the couch. I sigh as I sit next to Henry.
"How long will my legs be like this?" I ask and gesture to my legs.
"Only for like a few hours . I'm going to do some more tests" Schwoz says and walks back over to the table.
"Alright, well I'm going to go home guys" Henry says and gets up.
"Yeah me too" Charlotte says and follows him.
"Okay good job today" I say.
"Thanks . See you later" Henry says and gets into the elevator with Charlotte.
"See ya" I say and the elevator's doors shut. I can barely feel my legs. Man ,I don't want to change back just yet. I just want to have at least one more day to be a kid. At first I didn't like it ,but now...now I just want one more day. You know what I don't care I'm going to have one more day as a kid. I will just skip the tests with Schwoz in the morning and go to school and then when it's over I will do everything I can to change.
