Chapter #5

Fishing for garbage

    by: Unknown
As Matt struggled with the sticky gum, he overheard Shawn say something about going back downstairs. Then he heard footfall leading to the stairway, and then clatter of giant shoes hitting each step. Matt was left in the dark trash can all alone, and as time passed his eyes continued to adjust to the dark. His mind turned the objects in the trash can with him into mysterious creatures, and he was becoming even more terrified. Eventually he tried moving again, but alas he was stuck in place by his brother's chewed gum.

Suddenly can he hear from the basement Shawn screaming, "WHOA, DUDE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!!???" Matt was confused as to what was going on. He heard Shawn say something, but couldn't distinguish it. Then his brother yelled "MATT, IF YOU'RE SHRUNK, COME OUT. I'M GOING TO TRY TO FIND YOU." "So Trey must have shrunk," thought Matt. After a while of Shawn searching around the basement, Matt heard him slowly come up the stairs. Shawn must have been watching each of his steps. The footfall came closer to the garbage can.

When Shawn lifted the lid of the trash can, Matt involuntarily closed his eyes to protect them from the great light. Shawn muttered under his breath, "Man, I must have swepted him up." Matt hoped that Shawn would see him attached to the chewed up gum, but his titanic brother's eyes glazed right over him. Suddenly two hands reached out and began shifting the objects in the trash can. Matt was tossed up and down as his brother searched. Eventually Shawn's arm pushed aside a paper near Matt, and got stuck to the gum in the process. Suddenly Matt went into vertigo as the gum moved with his brother's arm. Shawn reached out to pluck away the gum, but as he touched it he noticed that it felt funny. He took a closer look at it and realized that he had found his brother.

"MATT," Shawn exclaimed! "I'm so glad I don't have to scrap you off the bottom of my hi-tops!" Suddenly Shawn stood up, and reached out for a miniature half-inch Trey that was on the counter. He put both of them into the palm of his hand and told them, "Don't worry guys, I'll take care of you both as we figure out what's going. Until then, I'm not going anywhere near the basement, as I like being the big man around here. For now, we can make a home for you two."

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. Shawn builds a small doll house for them

2. Their new home is his Nike hi-tops.

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
