When Alex went to meet his friend Liam at the bar, he was disappointed, but not surprised to be asked to show his ID before being let in. Even though both men were twenty-five years old, Alex was often mistaken to be a lot younger, thanks to his diminutive 4ft 11ins stature.

“I hate being short,” lamented Alex as he and Liam sat at the bar. “Do you remember that time we were out, and that girl thought I was your kid brother?”

“Yeah!” laughed Liam. “It was hilarious.”

Alex grunted. “Maybe it would have been hilarious if it didn’t happen all the time!”

“Come on,” said Liam, “it’s confidence that’s your problem, not your height. Just be a bit more assertive, and you’ll do fine.”

Alex rolled his eyes. “Easy for you to say, Mr. Six Foot!”

Suddenly an elderly bar tender appeared, as if from nowhere, holding two cocktails – one blue, one pink.

“Perhaps you two gentlemen would like to try our new experimental cocktail recipes, on the house of course,” offered the bar tender, “The blue one is called ‘Elevation’, the pink one is called ‘Illumination’.”

Alex and Liam looked at each other, and shrugged. “Sure,” they said.

Alex took the blue one, and Liam took the pink one.

“Not really my colour,” said Liam with a raised eyebrow, “but since it’s on the house, why not.”

They turned to thank the bar tender, but he had already vanished as mysteriously as he had appeared.

Alex sipped his cocktail first. It tasked pretty good, like blueberries. He then listened with boredom as Liam started talking to him about football, and his car. Before Alex knew it, he had finished the whole cocktail.

“Wow,” he said, “that was good…but…I kind of feel a bit lightheaded now, like I’m being levitated or something. I think I just need to take a quick trip to the Gents, excuse me.”

“Of course,” chuckled Liam, “you lightweight!”

As Alex scuttled off to the toilet, Liam's attention was taken as a group of beautiful women walked into the bar. As he watched them, he took the first sip of his pink cocktail. It tasted bitter and salty. However, as he sipped more, he started to enjoy the taste, and at the same time unexpectedly found his eyes drifting towards the group of handsome men who were accompanying the women.

Just a few minutes later, as Liam finished his cocktail, his attention was once again redirected when he heard a shout from the direction of the toilets.

“Look what’s happened to me! It’s incredible!”

Liam’s mouth dropped open in shock, as he looked upon the visage of his friend Alex, no longer the shorty he had always known, but now a strapping 6ft 7ins tall man, grinning widely at him from across the bar. Alex had to bend his head slightly to avoid banging it on the top of the door frame.

“Wow,” said Liam, as Alex strode his way back to the bar, “you look hot...um, I mean you look great! But how…”

“There must have been something in that cocktail,” said Alex, his voice now noticeably deeper and less squeaky than it had once been. “Where did that bar tender go? This is really weird, I mean brilliant, but weird!”

Liam was feeling more confused by the second. Not only had his friend just impossibly grown by almost two feet, but he was feeling quite peculiar himself. As Alex now easily sat down on the bar stool next to him, Liam couldn’t help but notice how handsome he was.

Then he found himself staring at his friend’s new thick long legs. He started to imagine himself rubbing his hands over those fucking hot legs. Then, he started to imagine unzipping Alex’ flies and taking his new donkey cock into his mouth...

Liam turned and stared at his empty cocktail glass, and then suddenly everything came into focus.

His friend Alex suddenly jumped from his stool. “Liam!” he exclaimed, “What’s happened?! Your hair just changed colour, and so did your clothes!”

“Mmm, yes sweetie,” smiled Liam, looking down at his transformed outfit. “I think pink actually is my colour now after all!”

Several hours later, Alex and Liam left the bar, transformed from the men they had been when they had arrived.

Alex left hand in hand with one of the beautiful ladies who had arrived earlier. She kept telling him how she admired tall men, and Alex’s new confidence grew with every long stride he took.

Meanwhile Liam left with his arm wrapped around the lady’s gay best friend. They stopped every now and again to kiss, and Liam loved the feeling of pressing his lips against another man’s mouth. Football and cars were the last thing on his mind now.
