You're sitting on the front steps to your house. Summer has just begun and the air conditioning is broken. It's hot. Ridiculously hot. Even in just shorts and a tank top, it's almost unbearable.
Walking up to you from the sidewalk is your sister, Nikki. She's about your height, with her brunette hair tied back in a big pony tail. A few strands of hair fall down on either side of her cute freckled face. Much like yourself, she's just in shorts and a tank top as well. As her flip flops slap the path up toward you, you notice something in her hand.
"That's not your phone," you tease. She's always on her phone texting her friends.
Nicole smiles, "Be nice. This is something you'll want to see."
She points it at a lawn gnome next to the steps. At first you think she's an idiot. What is it going to do? Shoot out a sticky dart or something? Then, with a strange beam that quakes the air it passes through, she hits the gnome and it shrinks!
You leap up and stumble a bit over to your sisters side, "Did you just..."
"YUP! It's a size remote! I found it at an old warehouse downtown when I was skateboarding with my friends," Nikki explains.
After a moment of stunned silence you look at her, "Really? Then where's your board?"
Nikki reaches into the pocket of her shorts and takes out a VERY tiny skateboard. It looks like a toy! But clearly, it's hers. Customized with all the graphics she stuck to it over the years.
"Can I?" you ask, your voice quivering. You LOVE the idea of being shrunk. Or really just being small compared to someone else. Your sister knows that too.
With a wide grin Nicole passes you the remote, "What do you think I'm showing you for? I'd like to play with it too, but well, I guess this is a way you can finally experience that weird fantasy of yours."
Shooting her a glare you comment, "It's not weird."
"Then why don't you tell your girlfriend about it instead of me?" Nikki replies with a snide grin.
You're nervous, that's why. What if she doesn't like it and dumps you? More importantly though, you could really have some fun now. You could be a bug at her feet. Or make her tower over the entire city!
