The shrinking formula splashed onto Kellie's hand and on her thin t-shirt, soaking through and getting onto her skin. "Damn it, Josh!" she yelled. "Take it easy, I'll get something to clean it up." He turned and looked around for something to wipe up the goop. Suddenly, he heard Kellie shriek. When he turned, she was gone, but her clothes were in a pile on the floor! Josh swore and called out for Kellie. He crouched down an reach for her discarded t-shirt. suddenly, something moved! At first, Josh thought it was just a bug. He squinted...and gasped, "KELLIE??? HOLY SH--" "Oh, God Josh! Not so loud!" The tiny girl cried, covering her ears and crawling under the fabric of her t-shirt, which now stretch out for acres. Kellie was shrunk to around 1/2 inch tall! She hid under her t-shirt, covering her nakedness and protecting her from the cold chill in the basement. Finally, she looked around and saw her brother, running towards her in the pile of clothes. Josh saw Matt, "Oh...my...GOD! This can't be happening!"
"What's going on down there?!?" A young female voice called from the top of the stairs. it was Ashley and Trisha, Kellies friends. The girls were waiting all of this time in the kitchen as Kellie and Josh went to find Matt. Kellie wanted to tell Matt to let their parents know that she, Josh, and her friends were going to Taco Bell and would be back after dinner. The girls climbed down the steps and saw Josh, crouched over a pile of clothes. They saw another pile of clothes and could spot what looked like two bugs, one crawling in the t-shirt and one along the floor. "Josh?? What's going on? What are you doing and where's Kellie?" demanded Trisha.
Josh sputtered and pointed to the pile of clothes, "Kellie...she's sh-she's...ah...she's shrunk! She friggin' ant sized! And so's her nerdy brother!"
"What are you TALKING about??" said Ashley, closing her eyes and shaking her head. Josh carefully picked up the t-shirt and cradled it in his arms, his tiny girlfriend hiding inside, only her tiny head and arms peeking out.
Ashley and Trish were dumbfounded. "How, how did this HAPPEN??" cried Ashley.
Matt ran up to Ashley, Trish, and Josh, waving his arms: "HEY!! HELP ME!!! I'M DOWN HERE TOO!!!"
Ashley saw the tiny teen and knelt down. She laid her finger on the floor, allowing Matt to climb on her well-manicured, strawberry-colored fingernail. She slowly stood up, lifting her finger close to her face, with Trish and Josh moving in close to get a look at the tiny boy. He sat, covering his privates with his hands. He was shivering, from cold and fear both, no doubt! "Oh God, he's naked as a jaybird." she said, closing her eyes and turning her head away. "Really?" asked Trisha, squinting in for a closer look. "Hahaha...you can't even see anything, Ash!"
Meanwhile, Josh peered down at his 1/2 tall girlfriend, covered in the material of the massive t-shirt. For once, he didn't have a smart crack to make, he was in shock. "Don't worry Kellie, it'll be ok!"
"OK?? How can it be OK??? How did I SHRINK? How do I grow back?? And the dance is coming up this Friday! What am I going to do, Josh?" wailed Kellie. Josh looked down, "Uh, babe? I can't hear a thing you're saying."
"Can you hear THIS??" she said, flipping him the bird.
"Jeez! You act like no one's ever been shrunk before." he said, smiling. "At least you're still bigger than....than a flea--maybe."
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!!" cried Kellie.
Meanwhile, Trish found a cotton ball in the lab. It was used to make covering for Matt and Kellie. Soon, Matt and Kellie were clothed in their little cotton fluffs, standing in Trish's palm.
Josh laughed out loud, "Aww, you two are like little pixies. At least, Matt's ALWAYS looked like a pixie! Ha ha ha!"
"Yeah, REAL funny, Josh." growled Matt.
"Dont' let him get to you. He CAN be a BIG JERK," she said turning toward Josh, "It's best to ignore him."
Suddenly, a gust of wind picked both Matt and Kellie up, nearly blowing them off of Trish's palm. Josh had leaned in. pursed his lips, and blew a short, quick puff at the two tiny teens. "Josh, careful!" said Trisha, glaring at Josh.
"Yeah, Josh. Totally uncool!' said Ashley.
"What? Just having a little fun." replied Josh
"What do we do now?" asked Trisha.
"Let's ask Wayne Salinsky down there how he did this and if he can fix them." said Josh. Josh them glared down at Matt, "Seriously dude, if you shrank my girlfriend, trust me, I better not get a hold of you!" growled Josh.
