Chi-Chi had worked herself into a frenzy, her husband had left to go training on another planet, and would probably be gone for months, and her youngest child was spending time at his friend's house, and she was all alone with no one around for miles. It was the downside of living in such a rural area, your closest neighbors were a fifteen minute drive away, and with the lack of any person to mother, or berate for not working, she had become completely, unbearably bored.
"Damn it, Goku! The least you could do is pay your wife a visit every once in a while!" Chi-Chi cursed out her husband. Other than basic household chores, there was nothing at all to keep her mind occupied. Even television had become unwatchable, as ever show seemed to run together in a mish-mash of RGB vomit.
"Guess I'll go outside and see if there is anything that needs doing on the house," the housewife sighed before she headed out the door.

The micro band was the worst purchase he had ever made in his life. The man who had sold it to him had said it would allow him to get into places that no one else could, he should have known that it was faulty by the hints of water damage on the outer casing of the device. It was probably stolen or something, but he couldn't say no to it. He had come out to the country to test it out unseen, and it had worked for the most part, shrinking him down to a few inches in height, but when he went to enlarge himself, the thing smoked and sparked, a broken piece of scrap. Now he was stuck out in the middle of hicksville with no way of getting home. He could only try to find help before he was eaten by a bird or something.
There was a small homestead just a short walk away (at normal size), if he recalled, and when he drove by, it looked like someone was home. He turned in the direction of the house, and began the long walk there.

Upon further inspection, Chi-Chi only found one thing to do, de-weeding around the house, and after getting her work gloves, started to pull the things up, root and all. The work was slow going, as the mound of weeds in her basket grew every minute and there seemed to be no end to them.
While the bored, and tired housewife toiled away on the lawn, she noticed something in the grass ahead of her. She stalked up to it like a cat, on her hands and knees, silently closing in on the source. Her eyes locked on to the tiny moving form of something on her lawn. Her arm raised high, ready to snatch whatever it was. She wouldn't put up with any rats in her house, and she wasn't some squeamish little girl that she would shy away from getting rid of it. Her honed reflexes kicked in once she was within striking distance, her hand shot out, and snatched the thing with ease.
Lifting it up to her face, Chi-Chi got her first good look at the mystery creature.
"Please! You've got to help me!" said the panicked little man in her grasp as he struggled against her grip. "I've shrunken and I can't get back to normal!"
