Zoe scoops up Jack and drops him into a bag, where he shares space with her purse, sunglasses, make-up and other assorted bits of junk that found their way in here; some pennies, candy wrappers, crumpled receipts… He spent most of the journey colliding with these objects as Zoe walked to wherever she was going, each step disrupting the contents of her bag.

Eventually, he was taken out and on a quick examination of his surroundings, Jack learned he was in a restaurant. Zoe placed him on the table where she was sat across from Jacki, who gasped as he was presented to her.

“Oh. My. God.” Jacki covered her mouth with her hand. “You weren’t kidding! That’s really… holy shit, it’s actually him!”

Jack couldn’t look Jacki in the eyes. He was too ashamed of what he was; a tiny, naked trinket fished out of his ex girlfriend’s bag to be shown off. 

“Come on, Jack, don’t be rude.” Zoe muttered from behind. “Say hi.” She prodded him in the back, forcing him to stumble closer to Jacki.

“Hi Jacki.” He said, still unable to look at her directly. “Long time no see…”

“Hello Jack.” Jacki said coldly, “How’s it feel to have the world’s smallest dick?”

“Pretty sure he held that record before he shrunk!” Zoe jeered, earning a sudden and loud burst of laughter from Jacki. Jack flinched. He always found her laugh obnoxious. 

He noticed a waitress approaching the table holding two plates of food. He started to raise his hands to signal for her attention, but Zoe quickly placed her hand over him, pinning him down.

“Okay, ladies, I’ve got the classic burger and fries.” Zoe raised her hand and the waitress placed the plate in front of her. “And the chicken and waffles.” She placed the other meal in front of Jacki. The girls thanked her and she left, unbeknownst to the miniature third guest at the table. 

Zoe lifted her hand, freeing Jack. He stood up and watched as the waitress walked away. 

“Nice try.” Zoe said, stabbing several fries with a fork and shoving them into her mouth. She continued to speak through her mouthful. “I bet you’re hungry.”

Jack hadn’t eaten since before he shrunk. The smell of the enormous food made his stomach rumble, desperate for a bite. Zoe picked up a french fry with her fingers and held it up to Jack’s face. He reached for it but she pulled it away at the last moment.

“Ah, ah, ah!” She chided. “What do we say?”

“…please?” 

“Please what?”

Jack looked to Jacki, who was watching the interaction with glee. He knew what Zoe wanted, and he knew he wasn’t going to eat unless he played along. “Please goddess.” He said through gritted teeth.

Zoe dropped the fry on the table in front of him, and he dropped to his knees to take a bite out of it. 

“Looks like you’ve got him trained already!” Jacki laughed. 

Zoe shrugged. “He’s usually pretty good, I think he’s just showing off because you’re here.”

“Don’t think I’ll be on your side, little guy.” Jacki said to Jack, but he didn’t respond. He was too focused on tearing into his meal, unsure of when he would get another. “Um, excuse me..?” Jacki raised an eyebrow and tapped the table next to Jack.

Jack looked over his shoulder at the offended giant. “Were you talking to me?” He asked sincerely.

Zoe pulled the fry away from Jack and dropped it under the table. “That’s it, no food for you.”

“What?! No, Zoe, I’m sorry! Please, I’m so hungry!” 

“Who are you talking to?!” Zoe said sternly. “Because last time I checked, it was ‘goddess’ to you.”

“Right. Yes, of course! I’m sorry, goddess! Please let me eat!”

Zoe thought for moment. She then looked to Jacki with a smirk. “Jacki? I think Jack needs to be punished for being so rude to you. As the offended party, I think it’s only fair that you decide how he should suffer.”

Jack looked to Jacki, his eyes pleading for mercy.
