				Chapter Six
				(Adapting)

 That evening, Valor and Greg ate a delicious dinner prepared by Valiant.
They had no idea what they were eating, but it was definitely Vegan.  All
meals on Collosia were Vegan, and Valor chalked up another reason for the
long life of Collosians.

 Cooking was sort of a hobby of Greg's.  He cooked most of their meals back
on Earth, especially when Ethan was out being a super hero.  "You'll have
to give me the recipe, Father," Greg said.  "I love to cook.  Maybe you'll
let me be your sous-chef."

 Greg was only joking about being Valiant's sous-chef, so imagine his
surprise when Valiant said, "Of course, Son, it will be a pleasure to teach
you culinary arts.  In fact, I am really a chef, and I run a very fine
restaurant.  You can work for me if you would like, and you won't have to
worry about what to do to be productive on Collosia."

 "I'd like that very much," Greg said, and he meant it.

 Suddenly, Greg could be silent no longer.  He realized that he and Valor
were speaking effortlessly in the Collosian language.  "Please explain," he
blurted out, "how is it that Valor and I speak your language?"

 Valiant began to laugh.  "While you were both having yourselves a good nap
on the space ship, hidden tapes in your pods were instructing you in our
language.  Since there were absolutely no distractions, you both learned
the language speedily, especially you, Greg.  I understand that on Earth,
where many languages are spoken, you are somewhat of a linguist."

 "Holy crap," Valor blurted out.  "It's amazing that I could learn a whole
language in my sleep, especially since I no longer have super powers.  Hey
Greg, maybe you have super powers on this planet."

 "Let's find out," Viktor said.  He excused himself and came back with a
knife and an ointment.  "Give me your finger, Brother," he said to Greg.

 Greg did not hesitate.  Viktor made a small cut on Greg's finger, and it
began to bleed.  Immediately, he applied the ointment and the cut was not
only closed, there was no sign of it.  "I guess you're normal, Greg,"
Viktor said, and he kissed Greg on the lips.

 "Thank God!" Valor said.  "Having super strength is both a blessing and a
curse; mostly a curse."

 After dinner, they all sat around chatting and getting to know each other
better.  Valor and Greg were anxious to start the foursome Viktor had
promised, but Viktor and Valiant engaged in male sex whenever and wherever
they wanted to, every period, all period long, so they weren't as hot to
trot as Valor and Greg.

 Finally Valor couldn't stand it.  He yelled out, "Enough idle chatter.  I
want to make love with my family.  Could we get started?"

 Since they were all naked, it didn't take much to get going.  Valiant led
them to his bedroom.  The chamber was ten times bigger than Ethan and
Greg's bedroom on Earth, yet all it had was a small dresser, a bedside
table, and a lamp.  The room was dominated by a huge bed that a dozen men
could sleep in.

 The four men fell on the oversized bed.  At first, all they did was kiss,
hug and fondle, but without conscious effort, they began to form a daisy
chain.  They were sucking blissfully away, when they all stopped at the
same time.  None of them wanted to cum yet.

 Viktor threw himself on top of Valor.  "Please, Brother, make love with
me.  The odds of us ever getting to meet each other were so monumental; I
never let myself hope that this could happen."  He started to cry, and
Valor took hold of his cock and started to fondle it.  Greg was not the
least bit jealous.  He reasoned that on this planet, they were just four
men, who would make love together for the rest of their lives.

 "Why don't we let Viktor and Valor make love with each other, Greg, while
we two get better acquainted?" Valiant said, taking Greg's hand.

 "My pleasure."

 The habitable side of Collosia always faced their star, so there was no
night per se, but both couples made love half through the intervals
assigned for rest and recreation.  None of them was certain what interval
it was, when they finally fell asleep.

 The next morning, the three brothers showered together, and Valiant
showered separately.  There was one thing about Collosia that was bothering
Greg, and Valor sensed his distress.  He determined to ask Greg what was
bothering him. For love of Valor, Greg had committed to coming to Collosia,
and Valor wanted him to be happy here.

 On Earth, Greg was considered tall at six feet even.  He was also
considered well-endowed at four inches flaccid and seven inches hard.  The
fact that Valor was three inches taller than he was, and his cock was at
least two inches longer and much fatter, did not bother him on Earth.  But
on Collosia, he had not seen a man who was shorter than six feet three
inches.  Most were taller, and since he saw everyone naked, he also knew
that everyone's cock was as big, or bigger, than Valor's.  Another
troublesome thing was that he had not seen one circumcised cock on
Collosia, and he was cut.

 Viktor had told him and Valor that they could have sex with anyone on the
planet.  That had excited him, but now he worried that he would be laughed
at and ridiculed.  Once again, Valiant came to the rescue.  He sensed
Greg's discomfort and read his mind.

 He threw his arms around his new son, and declared, "Don't worry, Greg.
While the council was debating whether I could bring you here or not, one
of the scientists assured me that once you arrived, your body would change.
You are certainly full grown and mature, but he said that once you ate our
healthy diet, breathed our unpolluted air, and reduced your stress level to
zero; your body would begin to alter.  He assured me that you would grow
another two or three inches in stature and in your cock.  He didn't know
how long it would take for this transformation to occur, so please be
patient, my son.  I also assure you that nobody will make fun of you.  All
they require of you is that you give them pleasure, and now I can attest to
the fact that you can certainly do that.  As for you being circumcised, we
outlawed that barbarous practice a millennia ago.  The same scientist told
me that he could graft on a foreskin for you using flesh from your thigh.
It would not hurt and you will be healed immediately.  I'll arrange for the
procedure today."

 "Let's have breakfast and be off to work," Viktor said.  Again Valor and
Greg had no idea what they were eating, but it was delicious.  After what
Valiant had told him, Greg felt healthier already.

 "Come, Son," Valiant smiled at Greg.  Pure joy radiated his face, knowing
that he was going to train his own son.  "Let's get to the restaurant and
start your education."

 "What about me?" Valor asked.  "What can I do?  Is there an opening for a
gym teacher?"

 Viktor laughed.  "You're coming with me.  I figure that you and I have the
same talents."

 "And what talents might that be?"  Valor asked.

 "Well, Collosia has a static population, so there is little need for new
buildings and structures.  However, there is a big need to maintain our
existing infrastructure, as well as the buildings.  I head a group of men
who do just that.  We're the city's handy men, so to speak.  How handy are
you, Brother?"

 "I don't know, but I have a feeling that I am about to find out.  Is there
an opening for me?"

 "There is no such thing as an opening.  You can do whatever you want.  If
you want to be a fireman today, just go down to the fire station.  The same
is true for anything else.  If you feel like baking some morning, go to a
bakery.  Wherever you go, you will be put to work."

 "If I join your crew, will I get paid today?"

 Viktor started to laugh and couldn't stop.  Nobody gets paid.  We have a
perfect barter system here.  If you want food, go to a food shop, and take
what you need.  If you need to repair a clock, go to a clock smith.  You
will never be charged for anything wherever you go."

 Viktor took Valor's hand and left the house.  Valor noticed that there
were no locks on the doors, and Viktor didn't bother to close the front
door.  Viktor stepped on one of the many moving sidewalks, taking Valor
with him.  "This one will take us to my office, and I'll check on the
repair requests.  I'll apportion the work depending on how many men show up
today.  You'll come with me.  I'll break you in."

 When they entered Viktor's office, Valor got an eyeful.  There were about
eight men milling around, and two of them were fucking on Viktor's
desk. Viktor smacked one of the guys on his ass, and said, "You can finish
later guys.  We have work to do." Valor was shocked that Viktor wasn't even
upset.

 Viktor sent the men out on different jobs either singly or with a partner.
They all took tool kits from a storage closet.  There was still a pile of
work orders on Viktor's desk.  Valor wanted to say something, but he
thought better of it.  Obviously, a job got done when it got done.  No
pressure there.

 "I've given us the shortest job of the day, Brother," Vic said.  "We'll
have plenty of time to play before dinner.  By the way, we are meeting Greg
and Father at the restaurant."

 The twins entered the house of two elderly men.  The house was ancient and
it still had doors with locks.  One of the doors was falling off the hinge.
Repairing it consisted of tightening a couple of screws.  As soon as the
job was done, Viktor fell to his knees and started to suck Valor's cock.
Valor was very surprised, but pleased.  He was even more shocked when the
two old men began a game of sixty-nine.  He loved the world he had come to
spend the rest of his life in.  He never once gave a thought to his and
Greg's parents, whom they had left behind wondering what had become of
their children.

 They returned to Viktor's office in plenty of time to do another job or
two, but it became obvious to Valor that the men only did one job per day.
Several of the men had returned even before they did.  Every one of them
was having sex in the office, and Viktor and Valor joined in.  The twins
were not monogamous.  All of the men in the office, including the twins,
kept switching partners.  Finally, some of Valor's Puritanism was breaking
down.  He was living on Collosia now, and he decided to do as the
Collosians do.

 As the men began to leave for home, Viktor said, "Come, Brother, we'll go
to our father's restaurant now."

 When they walked in, Valor was amazed.  The restaurant didn't look much
different than any restaurant in Manhattan.  There was no host so they
found an empty table for four, and sat down.

 A waiter came over, and Viktor said that there would be four of them, so
the server put four place settings at the table.  "Would you please tell
Chef Valiant that his sons are here," Viktor instructed the waiter.

 Valor was very agitated.  He really didn't feel comfortable being served
by a naked man, or eating food prepared by other naked men.  He decided to
grin and bear it, and learn to accept it.  The good on this planet far
outweighed a few discomforts.  Relieved of the burden of having to listen
all day for "distress signals," he could relax and enjoy life.  He realized
that he was stress free.  In fact, he intended telling his brother that
tomorrow he wanted to go out on a job solo.

 Valor wondered why nobody came over to ask what they wanted to drink.  He
was glad about that.  It occurred to him that there might not be alcoholic
beverages on Collosia.  That didn't bother him at all, and he attributed
that to be another reason for longevity.

 They had a short wait, and Valiant and Greg joined them at the table.
Greg was beaming.  His cheeks were red and flushed.

 "I had the time of my life," he informed everyone.  "Imagine, Valor,
working without some high school jock giving me a hard time in class.  It
took me a while to get used to members of the staff stopping work to fuck,
but I gave in and indulged in the hanky-panky myself.  What's more I loved
cooking with Father."

 "He has a real talent," Valiant said.  "I am so pleased to be his teacher.
And how about you, Valor; did you enjoy your day?"

 "Of course, I did.  What's not to like?  I worked a little with Viktor,
but spent most of the day making love to him, and having sex with many
others."

 "I'm so happy," Valiant said.  "I was so afraid you would both regret your
decision to come here."

 "I have no regrets," Greg said.  "How about you, Valor?"

 "I am so happy to be here.  I have no regrets either."

 "Well," Valiant said, as a waiter came with their food, "Let's make this a
feast of celebration."

 "I made the dessert," Greg said proudly.

 "Don't we get to choose from a menu?" Valor asked.

 "What's a menu?" Viktor asked.  Valor explained what a menu was.

 "Oh no," Valiant said.  "I only prepare one meal a day for all the diners.
I haven't had a complaint yet."

 Valiant's three sons, even Viktor, had no idea what they were eating, but
it was delicious.  Valor could not wait for Greg's dessert.  He was hoping
it would be more "American."  Dessert turned out to be a bowl of fresh
fruit.  Valor didn't recognize any of the fruits, and he hesitated before
eating.

 "Don't be afraid," Greg said.  "Not only is it a delicious, refreshing
dessert, but it's an aphrodisiac."

 When Valor heard that, he dug right in.  While they were eating the fruit,
the waiter came over with a glass of water for each of them.  Water was the
only beverage served on Collosia.  Greg and Valor were feeling healthier
all the time.

 It took about four Earth years for Greg to begin his transformation.  He
grew another four inches in height, and was actually slightly taller than
his two brothers.  His uncut cock grew as long and as hefty as theirs also,
and it worked perfectly well after the "procedure."  As promised he did not
seem to be aging quicker than the twins.  In fact, he looked younger than
when he arrived on the planet.  He and Valor acclimated very quickly to
life on Collosia, and never looked back.

 The End
