’Come on, Candace. ’Where’s your sense of adventure?’

Candace frowned. ’No, I think it’s too risky’.

Kadin sighed and thought back. A month ago, his life had been dull and boring. The name ’Kadin’ meant ’Fighter’ and he sure lived up to that name.

Kadin was a construction worker and boss of one of the toughest building crews around. Kadin had done his share of drinking, fighting and hell raising that you would expect from a man who had lived life to the fullest.

Kadin was 30 years old, had a deep tan and ripped body of a man who spent a lot of time outdoors. A slight scar adorned the right side of his upper lip.

Six months ago, he had a disagreement with Jeb, one of his employees. Jeb was a mountain of a man 6’5’, 250lbs and you would think no one could take him in a fight. But, Kadin did and in a one sided affair; Kadin broke the bigger man’s nose. In the months that followed, things had not gotten much better between the two men. There was respect, but you could not exactly call them friends.

Candace, also 30 years old, married Kadin five years before. She had a beautiful face, long dark brown hair and a killer body that Kadin could never get enough of.

Candace worked for a pharmaceutical company as a chemist and usually kept quiet about her work.

The past few years, they had gotten into what seemed a rut for Kadin. He got up everyday, went to work, and then stopped off at the bar for a couple of beers.

Face it, life was a little boring. Or, it was until last month when Candace revealed that her company had produced a drug that could render people younger.

In most cases, the regression was short lived. But there were rumors that scientists were working towards a more permanent solution.

The drug intrigued Kadin. He thought it might be fun if they experimented with it. Candace hated it at first, but she slowly warmed up to the idea.

Their first experiment had been six weeks ago; a simple five year regression that pushed them back to age 25. It was fun and exciting for them. It was like they were re-living their honeymoon all over again.

The next time was 3 weeks ago. They had regressed back to 21 years of age. The couple had never seen each other at this age. It was like meeting for the first time and a remarkable experience for the both of them. The lightness of their bodies as well as the thrill of rediscovering each other was as potent as any sex drug on the market.

Neither Kadin nor Candace was sure they wanted to fool with getting any younger. Experiments had shown that there was mental regression as well as physical.

Shrink themselves down to teens and they would act like teens and this scared Candace. But after three more weeks of the same old routine, Kadin was ready to try anything.

This is where we catch up to the conversation.

’Come on, Candace’ pleaded Kadin ’Where’s your sense of adventure?’

Candace frowned. ’No, I think it’s too risky. ’As teenagers, we could set this place on fire or something worse. ’

Kadin’s face darkened. ?Damn, she was right’. But he wanted to see her as a 16 year old. That would be really exciting even if they did act a little stupid.

Candace’s face darkened with concentration. Then she brightened. She looked up at her 6’ 2’ husband and said. ’Well, we do have another alternative.’

Kadin looked at her expectantly. She said " I stay the same age and you get young?’
