Lucy held onto her mother’s hand as her younger sister loomed high above their heads. Straight ahead of the Lilliputian family, right past the horizon of the counter, were Abbie’s cylindrical legs, clad in black leggings that ended right below her purple skirt. Nothing in their senses allowed them to comprehend just how gigantic their ‘little’ Abbie was. Just the gap between Abbie’s thighs was large enough to fit a couple of luxury cruise liners.
“I think we should go home mom.” Lucy said. “I knew this was a bad idea. Come on, let’s go.”
“Quit pulling my arm honey. Look at you, you’re shaking, why are you shaking? Are you scared of your little sister?” Anna asked her daughter.
“I’m not scared.” Lucy gritted her teeth.
"You sound pretty scared of widdle sis to me." Lucas remarked.
"Shut it, Lucas!" Lucy yelled. This outburst frightened the quadruplets, probably more so than the sight of their titanic sister. They had never seen her like this before.
“Abigail, can you hear me?” Garrett, Abbie’s father asked.
“Yes daddy, you don’t have to yell. I can hear you fine through my earpiece.” Abbie said in her trademark shy tone. “I want you guys to meet my roommate Hea—“
“Hi, I’m Heather,” Heather almost shouted in excitement. She jumped out from behind Abbie. Her thunderous jump reverberated through the kitchen counter that Abbie’s family was on, causing them to lose their balance. “I’m Abbie’s awesome roommate and best friend in the whole wide world. I’m a little loud and bit clumsy, hopefully no accidents will happen around you tiny ones.” Heather let out a maniacal laugh. “Abbie told me all about you guys. Did she say anything about me? Probably not, she’s such an introvert. Did you even know she had a roommate? Oh, welcome to my house! It’s a small cottage built about 70 years ago during the dark Lilliputian times. I’m so sorry what my people did to your people. Oh, but now Abbie’s my people, and she started as your people! Isn’t that crazy?”
“Will you shut up already,” it was Brian. He was walking up on the counter in front of the Brobdingnagian roommates with oven mitts still on his hands. He wore a pink apron with a white frilly lace outline. Brian stood a few hundred feet (in Lilliputian scale) away from Abbie’s parents and siblings. “Hi, I’m Brian. That ditzy blonde who’s wearing inappropriate clothing for a dinner party, is my girlfriend.”
“First of all,” Heather said, “I am not your girlfriend. Second of all, never tell me to ‘shut up’ or else I’ll squish you under—“
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’ll squish me under your yeti feet. Honey, must we fight in front of company?”
“Don’t call me honey!”
“Honey, you’re shouting again.”
“If you call me honey one more time...” Heather waved her index finger.
“Sorry about this folks.” Brian turned on the charm for Abbie’s parents who stood still watching the giant argue with the giga-sized giantess. “She’s really not as bad as she’s making herself out to be right now. She can be quite sweet and friendly.”
“I am sweet and friendly, asshole.” Heather shouted. “I’m sorry guys,” Heather redirected herself to the three dots on her counter. “I really am sweet and friendly; just ask Abbie here.” Heather wrapped an arm over Abbie’s shoulders and pulled her head close to her chest.
“She’s nice.” Abbie blurted out. Heather’s strength surprised Abbie for a second, but it did make sense that the tall Brobby could overpower her smaller stature. Heather released Abbie, letting her cough and wheeze. “So,” Abbie said, “who’s ready to eat?”

Brian is actually half-Lilliputian. He was born to a Lilly mother and a Gulliverian father. He was born at Lilly size, but by the time he was four, he had grown into the average height for a Gulli toddler. His mother would later have his five younger sisters and all of them stayed at Lilly size. Being the oldest and the biggest, Brian was always looking after his sisters. Ten years back, his parents bought a Lilliputian-sized dollhouse that his sisters could stay in. Being the kind-hearted big brother he was, he would help them set up the little furniture, play make-believe, and hold miniature tea parties.
Since that time, Brian has always had a skill for handling little things to include preparing meals for Lilliputians. The dinner party with Abbie’s parents was no different to other Lilliputian parties that Heather hosted in the past. Brian served the meals on the Lilliputian table that was set up on Heather’s dining table.
“I can’t say I’ve ever eaten a dish prepared from a giant before,” Abbie’s father said. “But now I can. And I must say this is amazing.”
“Why thank you sir.” Brian spoke as he sat next to Heather’s plate. “I’m happy to hear you enjoy it.”
“Oh it is good.” Anna said. “The noodles are so big, like my wrist. But it’s so yummy.”
“Thank you,” Brian smiled. “It’s so refreshing to hear a compliment from time to time. As a matter of fact, I’ve never received a compliment from Heather for my cooking.”
“Because I can’t taste the little dishes you make,” Heather said. “You make everything too small.”
“No shit, here’s a news flash: I’m small compared to you!”
Ben, Edward, Dennis and Lena shivered at the two giants above them arguing. Abbie couldn't exactly see them, but she was worried about them. They were only nine, it was naturally scary for small children to be around Brobbies. She decided that they needed comfort from their big sister.
"Are you guys okay? You aren't scared of me are you?" Abbie asked in a whisper.
There was a while before the quadruplets responded. She noticed her mother give them a headset. Ben was the one to respond, "Yeah... You're really big and scary. You're not mad are you, big sis?"
"I'd never get mad at you guys. Its okay to be scared of me. I may be a little bigger, but I'll still be your big sister. I'll never hurt you no matter what." Lucy whispered to them.
"Pinkie promise...?" Lena asked with some unease.
"Pinkie promise." Lucy said. She then carefully lowered her pinkie finger to the ground. The quadruplets quickly got up and did what she assumed was touch the massive digit with their pinkies. She was glad she was able to comfort her tiny little siblings. She wished it would be just as easy with Lucy.
“How are you enjoying the food, Lucy?” Abbie asked, trying to quell the impending argument.
“It’s good, I guess.” Lucy hushed.
“I can get you more meat sauce if you’d like Lucy.” Brian said.
“I’m good, thanks.” Lucy said. Abbie knew her older sister well, especially when she was uncomfortable.
“Uhm, Heather took me around town today.” Abbie said. “It was like being back at home. Not much seems different.”
“Sounds amazing,” Lucy said in monotone. “Mom, dad, ready to go home?”
“Go home?” Heather complained. “But you all just got here.”
“Would you calm down?” Brian said. “If they want to go home, let them go home. Don’t intimidate them into staying.”
“I’m not intimidating anyone.” Heather stood up, her chair sliding back. “I’m a gentle person and you know it.” Heather leaned over Brian.
Brian almost seemed unfazed. “Oh I get it.” Brian then turned to the Lilliputian family. “It must be that time of the month.”
“Excuse us.” Heather squinted her eyes, pissed off at Brian, and used her thumb and index finger to pluck him from the table. “I think it is Brian’s bedtime.” Before Brian could interject, Heather knocked off his headset with a flick of the finger. Heather walked away, her bare feet creating a thunderous thud as she walked away.
“She’s not going to hurt him?” Martha asked. “Is she?”
“No, Heather is not that kind of Brobby.” Abbie said.
“She’s weird.” Lucy said. “Mom, I really want to leave before she gets back.”
“I don’t know,” Anna said. “What do you think honey?”
“I’m full.” Garett had finished his giant meal. “I reckon we can head back soon. We got a chance to see our little girl. We know she’s doing well. Her roommate seems fun, I reckon.”
“Where were we?” Heather returned to her seat. She had a slight glow and was smiling. “Sorry about Brian. He knows how to push my buttons.”
“You didn’t hurt him, did you?” Lucy asked.
“Oh no, of course not.” Heather said. “I’m really a nice person. I dated Brian a while back and we had a mutual breakup. Heather winced and repressed a sound deep within her throat. “Anyway, we still hang out with each other from time to time. But enough about me, how are you liking Brobby land?”
“It’s scary.” Lucy said. “You are too big and I don’t feel comfortable around either of you.”
“Honey, relax.” Anna told her daughter. “They’re not strangers. That’s your sister!”
“My sister was shorter than me. That is not my sister,” Lucy pointed at Abbie. “Why did you do it? Why would you leave me?” Lucy asked her sister. This outburst shocked everyone at the table.
Abbie opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. Heather fidgeted in her seat and it seemed like she moaned slightly.
“Lucy, what has gotten into you?” Garett asked. “That’s your sister! We’re still a family!”
“Lucy, I’m sorry.” Abbie’s eyes were turning glassy. “I didn’t think I would be picked. Please don’t be mad at me.”
Heather smirked and moaned. All eyes turned to her. Heather’s cheeks turned red as she noticed she was in the center of attention. “I’m sorry. I think this is a uh, uh. Oh gooood. I think this is a family matter and I should excuse myself. Oh yeah.” Heather tried to hold it together, but her insistent moans kept interrupting. “I'll see you in a sec, Abbie.” Heather rose from her seat. Her legs were jelly as she walked away from the table.
“I want to go home.” Lucy said. “I’ll go by myself if I have to.”
“Maybe we should go home, dear.” Anna told Garett.
“What do you say Abigail?” Garett asked his ‘little’ daughter. “Would you mind if we head home now?”
“I think we should go home mom.” Lucy said. “I knew this was a bad idea. Come on, let’s go.”
“Quit pulling my arm honey. Look at you, you’re shaking, why are you shaking? Are you scared of your little sister?” Anna asked her daughter.
