Chapter #4
Mike's House
by: Unknown
The car pulls into the driveway of your friend Mike's house. You sigh, say goodbye to your angry father and crying mother, and get out of the car. As you watch the car drive away you hear the door behind you open, "Hey dude!" you recognize the voice of your best friend Michael. You sigh and turn around, trying to smile. You evidently failed because Michael asks you what is the matter.
You sigh and ask if you can come in. "Sure." Says Mike as he leads the way into the house. You see Michael's mother chopping up something to put in a pot of soup. You wave to her as you both head back to his room. He sits at his computer while you sit on his bed, "Whats up?" He asks you.
After a few moments of awkward silence you sigh and tell him the whole story.
He's quiet for awhile and says...."So.....You're just gonna shrink until there's nothing left?" You nod. "Oh....I-I don't know what to say......I can't believe it...."
"Neither can I." You say.
"What are you going to do?" He asks.
You shrug.
Suddenly Mike jumps out of his chair, "You don't know!? Dude, you can at least have some fun with this before you....you know!" He says shaking you by the shoulders.
"What are you talking about?" You ask skeptically.
"Like peeking up girl's dresses, squeezing under doors, battling an ant to the death! The possibilities are endless!" He says excitedly. You however are not so convinced, "Sigh......It's not like that Mike.....I'm going to die.....And there's nothing I can do about it." Just then the room starts the spin, you fall off Michael's bed onto the floor and black out.
*******
When you wake up you find yourself laying on the bed with an ice pack on your head. You hear voices, "Is he going to be alright?" You hear your mother ask from out in the hall. "I....I don't know..." You hear your father say.
You open your eyes and see Mike kneeling down at the bedside staring at you. "M-Mike? Wh-What happened?" You mumble. "You blacked out.....and you've shrunk." He says putting it bluntly. You sit up and see that Michael is bigger than you are now. You've shrank so that you only come up to his knees. He calls his mother and your parents in.
You see that your mother has been crying. Everyone is staring at you, then your mother leans down and embraces you, "Thank god.....you're okay." She says as tears fill your eyes.
*******
You had begged your mother and father to let you sleep over at Mike's Grudgingly they agreed, but they had to stay too....Which gave Mike's mother much to do making room for her guests.
