Just leaving your fate in the hands of an 11-year old simply won't do. You want to do something, anything, to solve this yourself.
Through the fabric of one side of the pocket, you can see the surroundings. As you are watching, the girls are getting up and leaving the room.
You decide you have no time to waste. Turning around, you kick against the fabric. Nothing seems to happen as it completely absorbs the blow. You kick again, this time with all your strength, but no reaction. Finally, you put in all your weight, throwing yourself against the white wall which is not only soft but also a little warmer than its counterpart, due to its vicinity to her body.
Before you have time to consider what else you could try, you feel the wall behind you pressing you into the fabric.
"Mmh. Amanda, I need to use the rest room."
"Sure thing. We'll be in the living room. Don't take too long, though."
Impatiently, you wait for the two of you to arrive in the rest room. Suddenly, your world begins to slowly tip over as Carly carefully bows over the sink. Thus, you are able to walk out of her pocket into the open.
"Now, would you mind telling me what is going on here?"
You state the question most pressing on your mind but then realize that Carly doesn't hear you, due to the size difference. Taking a deep breath, you start again, shouting this time.
"What is going on?"
"Amanda has gotten this strange book, a really small one, but in leather. She said she got from some street merchant or something. She said it was a spell book and that she would shrink you down to have some fun with you. I wasn't sure it was real, but it seems to be."
This makes sense, in a way. Anyhow, your path is set.
"Amanda still has that book?"
"She put it in her jeans pockets."
"Take me to the others. I will get the book and get back to normal before they figure out what's happening."
"But ..."
"No time to lose. You will help me, won't you?"
"... Yes."
Your strong approach has completely overwhelmed Carly. There is still a worried look on her face as she puts you back in the pocket, but no more words of disagreement are heard.
With everything set, the two of you come to the living room. The girls have pushed the low table that always stands between the couch and the tv set aside and are lying on the floor. Julie and Brianna that is. Amanda, with an aura of majesty to her, is sitting on the couch behind them, holding the remote control.
As Carly enters and sits down next to Amanda, she is only giving an acknowledging nod before the attention of everyone returns to the tv.
Thus, it is only a little later that Carly bows a little bit forward. Climbing up the pocket, you can see her waiting hand hovering in front of it. With a determined jump you leap onto it.
