Edison probably woke up on this day extremely happy. There was only a week till the end of the school year. But that wasn't what made him happy. He woke up as an adult.

"Ecce! Ecce, Cyan!" Edison exclaimed.( Look! Look, Cyan!)

"What... it's Friday and I'm not in a good-" Cyan started before looking at Edison."Holy crap, your hair's receding."

"Look! I'm an adult again!" Edison said with and all too big smile.

"Uh... I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch, Ghost-Meister." Cyan warned. Edison was, all of a sudden, glowing that famous green color. The same color he glows before turning back into a kid. As expected, he plopped to the floor in a five year old slump.

"Why..." Edison whined.

"I believe you should say cur. You are a Latin teacher after-"

"SAME THING!! I am three feet tall, Cyan. I do not like looking up at my students."

"Well this was weird to begin with. You wake up an adult just to turn back into a child." Cyan pointed out."Maybe it's a glitch."

"A what?"

"A glitch. Something may be wrong with your powers and is making you turn into an adult."

"I can't go to school with a glitch. Cyan, do something. You seem to know everything."

"Well dammit, the voice in my head only tells me so much." Cyan complained.

"I don't care about your voice!" Edison screamed as he turned back into an adult."Do something!" Just then, Janie entered the room.

"What seems to be the problem?" Janie asked. Edison gestured to himself

"Look!" Edison screamed, changing forms again."I'm changing forms and I can't control it!"

"Have you tried controlling it?" Janie asked. Just then, Cyan and Edison looked at J, dumbfounded.

"Oh yeah..." Cyan dragged out."Never thought of that."

"Well it's obviously not working!" Edison complained.

"Ghost-Meister, stop getting your freaking dick in a bunch. Go to freaking school. If you have a problem," Cyan handed him a piece of paper."here's our schedule. Now suck it up. How hard can it be?"

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

Fortunately for me, very hard, Edison thought bitterly as he changed from an adult to a kid.

"Class, nothing is wrong." Edison said for the millionth time, but the kids screamed anyway. Edison reached for his phone."Dammit... I have to call Cyan." 

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

"Cyan. Janie. The Latin teacher has called you up." The science teacher said.

"Perfect. What is it-" Cyan started as he stood up. The door abruptly opened to show an exhausted, little Edison.

"Cyan! My freshman class has gone AWOL! They're trying," Edison explained as he turned into an adult."to attack me!"

"Okay! Obviously this glitch is getting out of hand to freak out a bunch of class of '18 kids." Cyan turned to the science teacher."Can we leave?"

"I already told you the Latin teacher wanted you." The teacher gestured to Edison."So go with him."

 Cyan and Janie thanked them briefly and ran off out of the room.

"Out of all the forms it could've left me with..." Edison murmured a few days later."They left me with my kiddie form."

"Well... At least that give you a whole bunch more time to read that book I gave you." Cyan smiled. Edison scowled as he grabbed Cyan's book.

"I don't need advice from a book!" Edison said in a low voice.

Five hours later...

Cyan peered into Edison's room just as the Sunday was ending. Edison was curled up in a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and a book.

"Figures." Cyan muttered. Edison's head jerked to see Cyan. He threw his hot cocoa at Cyan."Ah shit!"

"Maybe there are advantages to being a kid." Edison smirked as he ran past Cyan.

"You freaking... EDISON!!!" Cyan screamed as he ran out the room. He looked left, then right."Where the hell is he?" He felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see an older Edison.

"Are you looking for me?" Edison smirked as he suddenly changed at will into a kid."Or me?"

"How? How did you-" Cyan stuttered. Edison shrugged.

"I tried. I can't stay an adult for more than 45 seconds." Edison replied.

"Oh. Damn." Cyan looked at the clock."Hey Edison... Bath time."

"You're graduating in a few days right?" Edison mumbled.

"You can't get rid of me that easily. I'm coming back for AP Latin next year." Edison's eyes widened in shock."Yep. I'm gonna be a senior. You're stuck with me for one more year."
