''Wow...'' Zidane grunts, letting out a guttural belch, ''Amazing food, Eiko. Well done.''
''Teehee, thanks!'' Eiko giggles, mock curtseying, ''I'll just go get the dishes started...''
''Like hell you will!'' Zidane exclaims, ''you cooked, so we'll clean! C'mon Vivi, I'll wash, you dry.''
''Uhmm... I dunno if I'd be any good at that, Zidane.'' Vivi mumbles earnestly, ''I mean-''

And the two young men head off into the kitchen, leaving Dagger and Eiko on their own outside.
''So... how 'bout them square potatoes, huh?'' Eiko laughs snidely at her expense.
''S-sorry if I didn't peel them very well...'' Dagger fumes inwardly, resisting the urge to hit something, or worse, her. But she remains calm. Because she still has to put her plan into action.
With Eiko's back turned, Dagger quickly grbas her staff, and mutters a spell, ''minima adaptus inverae...''

''Huh? What the?!''
The six year old is surrounded by a vivid white light, and starts to decrease in size, ''Dagger, what're you doing?!''

''Ohh, I dunno...'' Dagger laughs sikily as she kneels down in front of the shrunken Eiko, ''just exacting a little revenge, is all.''
With Zidane and Vivi completely oblivious in the kitchen just a few feet away, Eiko screams with terror as she is...
