Ken had knocked on the family door expecting to see Carly or Jenn, and was a bit surprised to see Laura open the door. "O-oh! Hello, is Jenn home?" He asked the smiling older woman.
"No she's out with Carly right now, is there something you need?" As Ken thought about what to say, he realized he had wanted a responsible adult to shrink him, and Laura certainly met that requirement, he didn't know her as well as Jenn but she had always been friendly during his visits for college advice. As he looked at her bright smile, face tilted quizzically as she waited for his answer, he decided it may as well be Laura to shrink him.
"I needed some help for a scholarship I applied for recently." He said sheepishly, still wondering if he should wait to tell Jenn his plan.
"Of course Ken, you can wait inside, she should be back soon."
Ken stepped into the house, taking off his shoes at the door as he always did at Laura's home. As he walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, Laura walked up to him again. "You said you needed help with a scholarship? What more do you need to do?" Ken bit his lip, he wouldn't hold back now.
"Actually I'm supposed to test this out..." he opened his box, producing the shrink ray, Laura's face grew a bit concerned as the teen took the gun-like device out. "It's a shrink ray, I need someone to help shrink me and run some tests, then I'll get a $50,000 scholarship, if you have some time, you could help me..."
Laura gave a skeptical look at the shrink ray as Ken held it out, hesitantly taking it in her hands. "Well that IS a lot of money, but does it really work?" Ken nodded in the affirmative, and without further warning, Laura pointed the ray at him and gently squeezed the trigger.
Ken was briefly dazzled by a flash of light, feeling sick as he felt himself seemingly falling despite never leaving the ground, as his vision cleared, he found himself amongst carpet fibers nearly as big as himself, and gasped as he looked up to see Laura towering above him, her pink dress lighting up his sky. For Laura it was as if Ken had suddenly disappeared, she looked about, nervously at first, but then she saw her minuscule neighbor hidden amongst the carpet threads. She grinned in excitement as she took a step forward, trying to get closer.
Ken watched as a huge barefoot sailed through the air and pounded into the carpet, causing his entire world to quake. The giant toes gripped the carpeting as their owner stooped down to get a better look at him, her short hair hanging down as she grinned down. "It really worked! This is amazing Ken! You look adorable down there. Are you okay?" Ken was too stunned to answer, but nodded in response to the booming voice that washed over him. Before anything else could happen, another voice rang out.
"Mooooom!"
Laura stood up suddenly from the sound of Abby's voice. She loved her daughter dearly, but the girl was a trouble maker and would absolutely try to get her hands on Ken. Without any pockets, the Asian giant tried to think of where she could hide Ken when an idea came to her.
Ken was startled by the shrill voice that had called out, he didn't know Abby well but had heard she was a troublemaker. He didn't have long to think on it however, as Laura's foot once again swung forward, this time clutching his tiny body between the big and second toes of her right foot. Ken was too shocked to do anything but struggle between the walls of muscle he was now trapped between, until the foot swung back to its original position and stomped to the ground, knocking the wind out of him as his stomach lurched from the speed of the movement. As he gasped for breath he noticed the strong scent of the woman's feet, not noticeable for a normal person but impossible for him to ignore. He clawed at the dry skin around him, but the toes remained static, he was regretting not waiting to tell Jenn.
Laura meanwhile was surprised to find just how comfortable Ken was between her toes, trying not to look down at him as she turned to the hallway Abby was coming from. She had to control her smile when Abby entered, not wanting to draw attention to the boy soothingly scratching and rubbing against her foot. "What is it Abby?"
"Mooom I'm going to be late for the field trip!" The girl said while hopping up and down and clinging to Laura's leg. Laura frowned, this wasn't the first time Abby had waited till the last minute to tell her about a school event. Abby quickly gave more information.
1: "You need to drive me to the water park!" Ken is about to get some company between Laura's toes as a sandal strap forces him further between them and Laura heads out!
2: "You need to sign my permission slip!" Ken will remain with Laura at her home.
3: "Parents are going with their kids on a nature hike!" Ken is about to find himself padding the insole of Laura's leather sandal as she prepares for a hike!
