Zoe's sister, Anna, comes home from school and sees Zoe on the couch.  "Hey there.  What's new?" Anna asks her sister as she sits down on a chair next to the couch.  Zoe says "It's been a bit of a weird day.  Remember my ex, Jack.  Here was here asking me to take him back."  Anna rolls her eyes, "What's this like the 50th time?"  Zoe continues "That's not the odd part this girl brought him over and he was really small like a few inches tall."

 

"What!" Anna says surprised, "How this that possible? Did he think you'd take a tiny version of him out of pity since you already rejected the full sized version."  Zoe muted the TV and said "Yeah, I don't know how he did it or what he expected but I told the girl to take him away.  I didn't even talk to him."

 

Anna thinks about what her sister told her and says "You should have kept him.  He could have made him our slave.  He'd have to worship us at our feet and do whatever we tell him to do."  Zoe just says "I don't know.  I want to be done with him."  Anna smiles and says "Well then you could just have given him to me.  You wouldn't need to deal with him.  I'll keep him busy myself."  Zoe looks at her sister and says "Tell you what.  If he comes back again all small like that, you can have him and do whatever you want."

 

"Awesome" Anna says as they start watching TV together.  Jack meanwhile is worried about his situation.  He has no way to get in contact with Lydia now and if either of these girls find him in their house he would become Anna's slave.  Not something he wants to see happen.  He's going to have to be careful if he plans to stick with him plan. 

 

Meanwhile Anna tells Zoe she needs to go upstairs to do some homework and she leaves Zoe alone.  Jack thinks about revealing himself to Zoe and appealing for her help but he's not sure if that would work given what he just heard.  He could also stick with his plan of spying on Zoe. 

 

Just then Zoe gets up and goes to the kitchen to get a snack and Jack thinks about his need for food and water.  He can probably find crumbs in the kitchen or near the couch.  He could get water from the bathroom after they shower.  The problem is that the kitchen is down here while Zoe's bedroom and the shower are upstairs and each step is bigger than he is.  This is continuing to get more complicated. 

 

Zoe returned to the couch with her snack and Jack decides to stay put for now.  He'll get something to eat and traverse the steps after everyone goes to bed.  Meanwhile, he'll just stay hidden and watch Zoe. 

 

Time goes by and eventually Zoe get up and leaves the room and Jack is left alone.  He thinks about going to the kitchen and look for some food so he doesn't have to wait until night for something to eat.  As he is surveying the kitchen, he hears a noise and it is Anna back downstairs and watching TV.  There aren't great hiding spots in the kitchen other than maybe under the table or he'd have to cross back in plain sight to get to his hiding spot in the living room. 

 

Jack moves under the kitchen table and hopes this will work.  Eventually Zoe comes back and tells Anna "It's your turn to make dinner tonight."   Anna complains a bit but comes into the kitchen.  Jack can only see her feet in sweat socks from his vantage point as she makes their dinner and he hopes she doesn't see him.

 

Jack stays hidden and when it's ready Zoe joins her to eat.  Both girls sit at the table eating dinner while Jack is hidden not far from their feet.  He is able to stay undetected and when they finish it is Zoe's turn to do the dishes and Anna leaves.    Jack hopes he is in the clear but Zoe starts to sweep up the floor and Jack know this could be a problem as she works her way over to the table.  The table has a center post that Jack stays as close to as possible while Zoe works.  Just then...
