Despite her feeling towards the Smalls family, however, Miss Hilda prides herself on being a good science teacher at the high school where she works. And thoroughness in the use of the scientific method is what she is always lecturing to her students as being the hallmark of a good science teacher! So, once she is alone within her house, she brings you into her private study, placing you atop the desk where she usually grades her students' home work. Sitting down in her leather-backed swivel chair, she criss-crosses her arms, still largely skeptical at what Maggie Smalls told her.
She is, therefore, nonplussed at the physiological reformation that you subsequently demonstrate.
"Mein Gott!" she exclaims: "Vas...?"
"Hello, Miss HIlda," you yell up to her: "My name is Thomas. The fiance of Cassandra Smalls. Maggie's older sister. And, as you can see, she was telling the truth about me. Surely you remember the shrinking pandemic we went through twenty years ago or so? Well, I'm one of the side-effects."
"I thought that was a hoax," she mutters half to herself: "In fact, I am one of those who never got vaccinated against it! My never developing any of the much-touted symptoms proving--to me, anyway--that I was right."
"Well, now that you know otherwise, could you please return me to Maggie Smalls, so she doesn't have to explain my dilemma to Cassie?"
Miss HIlda's only response, however, is a chilling half-smile. Followed by the palm of her right hand flattening you like a pancake! You, of course, resume your normal twelve-inch height within five minutes. Prompting her to exclaim once more: "Fantastiche!"
You shake the dizziness out of your head as you ask her: "Please don't do that, again."
But, again, she merely smiles: "On the contrary, mein kleine herr. You must stay with me so I can further research such unusual properties."
You nervously gulp: "I'm afraid I'll have to decline..."
Miss Hilda cuts off your protests by squishing your head to the thinness of a penny with the thumb and forefinger of her left hand! Whereupon, she uses both hands to twist the rest of your body into a licorice shape. Following which, she molds it into a roughly spherical shape similar to a children's balloon animal. She then anchors your tangled-up limbs in place by using three strips of masking tape. Two criss-crossing strips and one horizontal central strip. She culminates all this by cutting a small piece of masking tape off the roll and affixing to both sides of your flattened head. So that, once it regenerates to a normal three dimensions, the small piece of tape expands with it. Effectively gagging you!
"Tomorrow, I shall take you to school with me..."
