John sighs, relieved. "See the switch on the side?"
Amy looks over. There's a switch, one side saying 'shrink' and the other saying 'grow'. "Yeah?"
"Put me on the desk please." Still being careful not to drop him or squish him, she picks him up between her fingers and slowly lowers him onto the desk surface.
"The nozzle needs to be facing me."
"Alright, alright, alright." Amy tuts at her impatient brother as she adjusts the nozzle to point at John.
"Hit the big button on the top." John jumps with excitement, wanting to get back to normal.
"Three, two, one..." Amy hits the button with sudden vigor.
Another bright white light engulfs John for a brief moment, which Amy watches with amazement. After a few seconds, the light grows to a standard human size, then fades, leaving John in his ordinary size. He seems dizzy, then shakes himself and jumps off the desk. He then promptly hugs his sister with surprising strength. Amy freezes awkwardly.
"Could just say thanks..." She mutters.
"Oh, sorry." John releases himself.
John thinks about something. While being shrunken is dangerous and fearful, it's exciting and he has nothing planned for the weekend. But what to do now... He has two ideas. He could use both the machines to shrink in another world, but he could bring Amy with him! He could make her a different size or both of them could be shrunken. What a great idea!
He could also bring game characters from their world to this one! Maybe he could be shrunken, or maybe Amy, or... so many possibilities... His mind runs with excited suspense at all the things he could make a reality.
