Sean decided he would go visit his girlfriend, Samantha. He started his car and drove off. A short time later, he arrived. Incidentally, his girlfriend's house was only a few blocks away from his own.
As he walked up the driveway, Sean could hear kids playing in the backyard. He knocked on the front door. One of Samantha's parent's answered the door.
"Oh, Sean," her mother said, smiling. "Samantha's in the backyard with a few neighborhood kids. Come on in." Sean walked in and was led to the back door by the mother. Sean looked out to see his girlfriend and a few kids playing with Super Soakers. Everyone outside was practically drenched with water. Sean hesitated, his hand resting on the door handle. He wanted to go outside, but he also didn't want to shrink in front of everyone, either.
"Oh, go on, Sean," the mother said, practically pushing him out the door. "Sam's been dying to see you." Sean was ushered outside and the mother locked the back door.
"Oh, Sean!" Samantha said, running over to her boyfriend. She dropped her water gun and hugged him, her wet t-shirt giving him cause for concern. He quickly broke off the hug.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked, confused.
"Nothing," he replied. "I'll tell you later. So, what are you guys doing?"
"What does it look like?" Sam said, motioning down to her wet clothes. "We're having fun. Wanna join in?"
"No thanks. I'll just watch."
"Oh, come on, Sean. It's just water," Sam said. "Water can't hurt you. Besides, it's one way to cool off on a hot Saturday morning."
Samantha sighed and picked up her water gun. She aimed at Sean's feet and fired. Sean jumped back in response.
"What's wrong with you?" Sam said, firing at his feet again. "Will you just relax?" She fired again and Sean backed up against the house, stopping next to the back door.
"Will you just stop for a moment?" Sean said, putting his hands up. Suddenly, Samantha fired again, hitting him on the leg. He could feel himself slowly shrinking, but it was very slow. He quickly bent down and wiped the water off.
"Come on, guys," Sam said, motioning for the two boys to join her. "Let's get him!" All three then fired on Sean, drenching him completely in a matter of moments.
After about ten seconds, they stopped. "Wee got you good, Sean," Sam laughed. "You should've see the look on your face when we--"
"I need a towel!" Sean interrupted.
"What, are those, like, your favorite clothes, or something?"
"Please, just do it." He could already feel himself dwindling again, at a faster rate this time.
Samantha walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his waist."You're not going anywhere. I'm going to make sure of it."
Just then,the two noticed Sean was roughly the same height as Samantha, then he dwindled a few inches shorter. "What's going on, Sean?"
"I'll explain everything to you in a little while, but right now, I need a towel to dry off with." He quickly shrank another three inches.
She ran off, going upstairs to the bathroom, leaving Sean alone with the two boys.
