This choice: See what a fellow scientist has to say! • Go Back...Chapter #4A Growth Ray and a Shrink Ray by: _H_   “Heya there Mike! Are you free right now?”
Just a foot away from your face stood a pair of breasts, meaning only one thing.
“Pei…”
You look up, seeing the excited face of your experimental neighbour looking down at you. Considering what you just came up with, you really didn’t want to deal with another one of her shenanigans.
“Sorry, I’m a little busy with something at the moment, so…”
You attempted to close the door, but Pei stuck her foot in before you could.
“C’mon! We’re both scientists aren’t we!? I promise what I’ve got this time is super interesting!”
“You say that about everything you do Pei. And every time it ends up doing something like turning a person’s hair green.”
You attempted to push her foot out of the way, but then she unleashed one of her more powerful weapons. Pity.
Pei put on a sad look, and slowly began walking backwards.
“Alright, I get it… I guess no one in this building wants to check out my cool new size ray…”
You were used to her pity-baiting by now, but that last word caught your attention. That was supposed to be your big break, and she made one at the same time!?
“W-What do you mean size ray?”
As if flipping a switch, Pei’s face immediately went back to excited. She bolted forwards, leaning in a little too close to you.
“I knew you’d be interested! This is every scientist's dream! C’mon, I’ll show ya how it works!”
Without even waiting for a confirmation, she grabbed you by the hand and forcefully pulled you through the hall. Her height and physique made it pretty easy, as her natural strength was much higher than yours. Especially since your hobby meant you didn’t exercise often.
“Hey, I didn’t say I was gonna be your test dummy!”
“Ahh, don’t worry about it! I don’t need a human subject yet anyway, it’s just a proof of concept.”
You obviously weren’t going to be getting out of this for a while, so you decided to just go with it. Plus, it’d give you a chance to check out your competitor’s version of a size ray. It’d be nice for you to get the one-up over her for once.
After taking the elevator and a bit more walking, you finally reached her apartment. It was as messy as you last remembered it, having dozens of clothes, devices and tools sprawled everywhere. Despite this, her apartment was both much bigger and much nicer than yours. Must be that high-paying salary of hers. Lucky…
After walking in, she spun around and whipped out a device that looked like a ray gun.
“Here it is! The first ever size ray! It can grow anything I point it at, to whatever size I want!”
She aimed at a nearby shoe of hers, and shot a green blast out of her gun. Upon contact with the shoe, it grew over 3x its size.
“Woah, you figured out how to make yours grow stuff…?”
Out of all the reactions Pei expected, that was not one of them.
“Eh? What do you mean ‘yours’?”
You contemplated for a moment whether or not to show her, but you decided to go for it.
“I finally built my own size ray just now. Except this one just shrinks things. It’s got a dial on the-“
Pei’s eyes immediately went wide.
“No way! You made a shrink ray!? Pfft, we should’ve worked together on this!”
Before you could say anything, Pei swiped the shrink ray from your hands and inspected it.
“Wow… this is great Mike! Have ya tested it yet?”
“No, I was just about to before you dragged me off. Could you hand it back now?”
Unfortunately, Pei had another idea.
“Hey, what if we test these out now? It’s the perfect opportunity to!”
“W-Wait Pei, I don’t think you should-“
Unfortunately for you, Pei was already in science mode.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
