Classical Days

Death by Toasters

After school, Cyan and Janie decided to drive Edison back to his house. Once there, Edison practically ran up to it.

"My house! I'm home! I'm finally home!" Edison cheered. Cyan rolled his eyes.

"Now that you're home... Will you please stay home?!" Cyan said, annoyed.

"I believe that it is not that easy. I need to find a way to return back to my original body." Edison stated.

"That's true. You can't be five forever." Janie pointed out."You're students will never treat you the same."

"That's not the only reason he wants to grow up." Cyan grumbled.

"I don't mind giving you two detentions, Cyan." Edison threatened.

"That's worse off for you 'cause you get an extra hour of me." Cyan thrusted his thumbs at himself and grinned a giddy smile."When ya don'ts get enough of me at class."

"I suppose that's true. Maybe I could influence the principal to suspend you." Edison said, muttering the second sentence.

"Well the easiest thing to do would be to shock you with lightning again." Janie announced.

"And everyone knows lightning doesn't strike in the same area twice. So how are you going to electrocute me, Ms. Johnson?" Janie smirked.

"I'll need a working toaster and a bathtub." Janie said."And I'll need you to remove your clothing."

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

"Janie, are you sure this is okay?!" Edison said in worry. An operating toaster was just inches away from the water where Edison.

"Drop it, Cyan!" Janie commanded. Cyan shrugged and let it go. In an instant...

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Edison screamed.

"Don't die on us, Edison. You're the best Latin teacher I know." Janie said.

I'm the only Latin teacher you know, Edison thought before grimacing in pain once again. A ball of light surrounded Edison, blinding the other two. Once it disappeared, Janie looked around.

"Mr. Boo?" Janie asked.

"Ghost-Meister?" Cyan added. Climbing out of the tub wasn't the same old small Edison. As before, his hair was pretty much on the back of his head. He was back to his normal height.

"Am I old again?" Edison asked. He patted his head, then narrowed his eyes as if he were disappointed."Yep. I'm back."

"GHOST-MEISTER!!! You're back!" Cyan exclaimed.

"Thankfully. Now tomorrow I can go back to school and be my normal me once again." Edison smiled.

"With some lustful complications" Cyan mumbled. Edison's eyes darted at Cyan.

"Tace, Cyan!" Edison yelled in Latin. (By the way, it means Be quiet, Cyan!)

"Now that you're normal, there's one thing left." Janie pointed out.

"What is it?" Edison and Cyan asked simultaneously.

"Will you stay as you are or will you become small again?" Janie inquired.

"Good point. But I think that I'll stay the same. What's the worst that could happen to me?" Edison started glowing an eerie green, but didn't seem to notice it. Janie and Cyan looked in disbelief. "I start glowing some eerie color and all of a sudden-" The light enveloped him once more. Once it went away again, Edison was again a little kid."-this light envelopes me and I become a little kid again through some time-ish magic."

"Uh... Ghost-Meister?" Cyan pointed to Edison, obviously freaked out.

"Yeah?" Cyan pointed to Edison's head. He patted it and again it was full of hair. He narrowed his eyes."Figures."

"Hey! So that must mean you got some time power or something." Jamie gasped. Edison was still annoyed.

"I'll take 'or something' for five hundred, please?" Edison said sarcastically."I was old again for twenty seconds. Twenty! Not even half a minute. I do not deserve this."

"But think of it, Ghost-Meister. You got like... superpowers!" Cyan exclaimed.

"Yeah! Maybe you can make yourself a thirty-four with hair instead of without." Janie suggested. Cyan dragged Edison out of the tub.

"Or make yourself a handsome eighteen year old." Cyan smirked in Edison's face.

"You're cruel." Edison stated. Janie stared at the two boys.

"We need to go shopping."

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

"Oh no! I'm not going to wear that! I may look like a five year old but I'm not going to wear T-Shirts and sweatpants like... like Mr. Donadio." Edison protested to Cyan. They were in the kid's section of JC Penney.

"Then why don't you pay for it?" Cyan retorted

"You offered to pay. I took the offer."  Edison commented.

"Okay!" Janie interrupted."I say we make a compromise. We get four T-Shirts and sweatpants for Edison. At the same time, we buy four of Edison's usual outfits. Deal?"

"No deal!" Cyan countered."We can just shrink his clothes in the wash!"

"So what happens if Mr. Boo actually returns into his older self? Is he gonna go walking 'round the street naked or are you willing to buy him the exact same outfits as before with your own money." Cyan narrowed his eyes.

"He can stroll around-" Cyan started.

"Would you like to see that, Mr. Jackson?" Edison smirked. Cyan looked at Edison in shock.

"OH HELL NO!!!" Cyan yelled, causing the store to go silent.

"Okay then. Deal?" Edison held out his hand.

"Deal... I guess." Cyan shook Edison's hand."But this is only because I don't want you free ballin' 'round the city. Got it?!" Edison chuckled a bit.

"Got it!"
