Chapter #3Over to Sophie's House by: Steamgear   It didn't take much for Ken to decide on Sophie to help him with record keeping while he was shrunken. After all, not only did he know her rather well, but they were also already scheduled to work on a school assignment together at her house that afternoon. The fact that she was an incredibly sexy dancer was also at the back of his mind as he walked down the street to her family's small two-story house. It took only a few minutes before he found himself ringing the doorbell.
Beyond the door, Ken could hear the shuffle of feet as someone made their way down from the second story. As the door swung open, Ken, expecting the rather tall girl he knew, saw only the forehead of someone a bit shorter. Looking down, Ken rolled his eyes as they fell upon Sophie's younger sister, Maggie.
"Hi there, Ken, how ya doing?" Maggie asked as a smile rolled across her face. Ken could almost feel her plotting a prank of some form to pull on him, he even warily glanced up at the door frame to ensure she wasn't trying the same thing she had done last week.
"Fine," Ken replied, not interested in spending too long with this girl, "Is Sophie home?"
"Yeah, she's up in her room," Maggie replied, her tone turning a bit grumpy as he pushed his way past the 15-year old athlete.
"Thanks," Ken replied as he readjusted his backpack's strap, happy that keeping the shrink ray hidden within meant less questions from the practical joker of the house.
"Excuse you," Maggie called after Ken, as he mounted the stairs and ascended to Sophie's room.
Once at the entrance, Ken could clearly see, and hear, why her younger sister had answered the door. Sophie was lying on her bed, surrounded by textbooks with a pair of headphones on, blasting out pop songs. Ken shook his head and chuckled as he knocked roughly on the doorframe, causing the teenager to sit up with a start and immediately catch sight of Ken.
"Oh, sorry, didn't hear you there, come on in," Sputtered out Sophie whilst hardly taking a breath.
As he sat down, Ken began to have second thoughts, Sophie was after all probably the most energetic girl he knew and she often didn't think too clearly while in an excited state. On the other hand, he did trust that she wouldn't try to hurt him and he was already here. Regardless, he decided to immerse himself in the current task at hand, a history project that he was working with Sophie on. There would be plenty of time afterwards to show off the shrink ray after all.
The work went on for about an hour without a hitch. Maggie had at one point come in to ask her older sister something that Ken was far too distracted to hear, but beyond that nothing. Finally at almost the hour mark, Sophie excused herself to use the bathroom, leaving Ken alone with his thoughts. Opening up his backpack he figured that now, having cleared his head of any doubt, would be the best time to show off the shrink ray.
