Classical Days

Teens at the Beach

It was the famous time of day Edison both loved and hated the most. Bath time. Loved because... well... he was with Janie. Hated because... well he was with Janie.

When am I going to turn back to normal, He thought bitterly as Janie ran her hands through his soapy hair.

"Y'know... you stay awfully quiet all the time, Edison. Can I call you Edison?" Janie said.

"Yeah. I mean if Cyan can call me it, you can too." Edison muttered. There was silence for a few more minuted before Janie spoke again.

"So about that book Cyan gave you-" At that very moment, Edison's heart must've stopped a thousand and five times.

Crap! She found me out! Edison screamed in his mind. He turned to J.

"Look! I can explain! I don't read it! Well... I do... but that's when I'm bored and-" Edison said rapidly.

"Hey, I don't see the problem. Heck... I read about time travel too. It's not stupid and childish."

"Time...?" Edison started"Oh yeah. I love how the main character goes to the future." That will fool her.

"Oh! You're reading a novel. I thought it was non-fiction." Janie replied. Again, there was silence."Hey, Edison, did you have a crush as a teen?"

"WHAT?! NO!!" Edison babbled, his face turning red and his body glowing green.

"Edison... you're glowing." Janie smiled.

"God... of all the times... it has to be-" The light around Edison disappeared. But he didn't turn into his usual adult self. He was about his adult height, give or take a few inches, but his hair was bright orange and was about as long as Cyan's. His eyes stayed its misty bluish grey."-now? Hey... I'm not an adult."

"Yeah... It seems to me that you've turned into a... teen. Yound adult maybe?" Janie announced.

"Teen? I never knew I could change into that." Edison said. Then he took recap of his situation. 

I'm a teen now... But that still doesn't change the fact that- 

If eyes could change color, someone please tell Janie what green would've meant. Cause Edison's eyes rapidly changed green, the same green that he glows before changing into a kid or adult. He leaned closer to Janie, just before Cyan barged in the room.

"Holy crap! Janie! You gotta-" Cyan turned to Edison, whose eyes swiftly changed back to blue. He looked at Janie in shock.

"What did I do?!" Edison exclaimed.

"Just went a little close to me..." Janie said as she got up."but nothing to worry about."

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

"There is everything to worry about." Edison said, worried."I'm in a teen's body for like... two minutes and I can barely control myself."

"Edison... I have a proposal for all this mess." Cyan responded.

"Lay it on me."

"Well since you're a teen, and hormonal levels in teen males are so high, that may be the reason you can't control yourself as a teen." Cyan explained.

"Tell me again how you're not on honor roll?" Edison commented, crossing his arms.

"I suck at math, okay. But since it is summer, I have the perfect way to control your powers."

"Oh please," Edison said sarcastically."Tell me more."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You're not getting me outta here alive!" Younger Edison screamed. His five year old hands grasped the car door, unwilling to let go.

"Let go, Edison! Or else I post on Twitter and the F.B.I's website about your powers. You'll be treated as a freak show for the rest of your life." Cyan replied. Janie looked at the two.

"Come on, Edison. Please? It's just one day at the beach." Janie asked. Of course it was enough to make Edison let go.

"One day!" Edison retorted."I don't like sand and I won't start now." Cyan and the other two found a spot in the middle of the beach. While Cyan went swimming, Janie and Edison layed in the sun. Everything was going fine... but all good things had to end. Two guys walked up to Janie and Edison with smirks on their faces.

"Hey girl!" The first one exclaimed."Why don't you ditch the pipsqueak and come with me." Janie kept her eyes closed.

"Not interested." She simply said.

"You're coming with me!" The same guy yelled, grabbing Janie's arm. At the same time, Edison sprung up.

"Leave her alone! She said she wasn't interested." Edison said in defense.

"Yo, no one was asking you, pipsqueak." The second one said, shoving him out of the way. Edison glared at the boys, slowly glowing green. That was enough to freak out them.

"Yo... dude... is this normal?" The first guy asked the second.

"Hell no... Wait... Is he growing?!" Teen Edison appeared in front the two."OH MY GOD!!"

"Leave her alone!" Edison threatened."Or else I'll throw to the fishes!" The boys ran like cowards away from Edison. He smiled a smile of victory as he layed back down.

"Thanks, Edison!" Janie said. It was enough to make Edison blush.

"No problem." He said casually. He looked at what J was holding in her hands. The Study of Science.

"Wha'cha reading about?" Edison asked.

"Oh! Nothing much. Just how many different sciences there are."

"Ah... you want to be a scientist." Edison inquired.

"Yeah... what's really fascinating is how you turn five, yet you have all the emotions of an adult. Isn't that weird?"

"Yeah... weird." Edison turned his head away from Janie. They both sat in the sun for the rest of the day.

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

Back at home, it was a different story.

"Agh! Why do I always have to get hurt?" Edison complained. He was a little kid again. Turns out, he got a severe sunburn and he didn't notice till now."Janie was in the sun too. Why isn't she burnt?" Cyan looked at Janie, who was quietly laughing as he put on sunscreen on Edison's back.

"Not to be racist... but J's darker than you. Her skin has a better resistance to the sun." Cyan lifted his hands off of Edison's back. He tossed the sunscreen to him.

"Last time I ever go to the beach." Edison muttered, wincing in pain every step he took towards his room. He tripped once and he started screaming bloody murder."Ah shit! It hurts!"

"You swore again." Cyan smirked.

"Shit is not a bad word." Edison defended, tears streaking down his face."It's the excrement that comes out of people and animals."

"Okay." Cyan said with a dismiss of his hand."Whatever you say."

"Summer's gonna be long." Edison muttered as he slammed his door.
