Judging from precisely how large the lab and its equipment looked to you, it seemed as though Hotaru’s shrink ray had reduced your size to no more than about three inches tall! You'd thought this kind of thing only happened in those cheesy old sci-fi movies, or in old American comics, but science fiction had become a reality for you. You weren't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, but despite it blatantly flying against the laws of physics you could breathe perfectly fine despite the fact that your lungs (and bloodstream) were a tiny percentage of what they had been a few minutes ago.

The small part of your brain still capable of thinking rationally and not freezing up in shock was just glad that the shrink ray had shrunk your clothes with you- and not only that, but everything in your pockets as well! Which really only meant that your phone had shrunk with you. Still, that could be useful down the line. When Hotaru finally fixed your size, you hoped she'd be able to grow it back to, otherwise you'd have to shell it the big bucks to get a new smartphone.

But just... wow, you were really, really grateful that your clothes had shrunk with you. Having your oldest, closest friend seeing you naked and so vulnerable just felt... well, it would be super awkward. The only people you'd known longer than Hotaru were your parents- she was your sister in all but blood!

Speaking of your best friend...

The genius tomboy stooped down, a worried, nervous expression on her face, and gently picked you up with one hand, being very careful not to drop you (or harm you in any other way.) As if you'd been standing on an elevator, you were slowly elevated as Hotaru gently raised her palm until you were eye level with her face.

“Again, I’m really, really sorry about all of this, Shujin!” Hotaru apologized frantically. “I’ll find a way to grow you back, I promise! But... and I hate to say this, not right now. T-today’s a school day, a-and I'm already in trouble with Miss Hayashi for flunking my last English test! She said I'll have detention for a whole month if I don't stop showing up to school late!”

Oh, crap. Being shrunken to two inches in size was bad enough already, but being so small on a school day was sure to be an embarrassment for you. Wait. Should you even go to school like this? It might've just been safer to wait around here for Hotaru to get back.

That'd be boring as hell, though.

But was being bored better than risking going to school with Hotaru? You trusted your best friend, but you also knew from experience that Hotaru didn't always think things through. She was very much a big picture gal- the kind of person who was able to visualize the goal they wanted to reach and make it so,

Too bad lots of little picture kinds of things always fell through the cracks- case in point, Hotaru could make a working freakin' shrink ray, but she was also failing her high school English class and routinely forgot to eat or sleep when working on an invention.

But before you could say anything, Hotaru made the decision for you.

"S-sorry Shujin! But you're coming with me! After this... I just can't stop thinking about what would happen if something happened to you in my lab while I'm at school! I need to take you with me!"

Your world went dark as Hotaru's hand curled up around you, gently enough that you weren't harmed, but firm enough that you had no chance of getting away.

Where does Hotaru keep you as she goes to school?

1. Her pocket, duh. Why would she put you somewhere else?
2. On top of her head. You might be more visible to other people, but at least you can hold onto her bow for safety.
3. Hotaru's cheeks flush, and she nervously unbuttons the top few buttons of her blouse... (She's pretty 'small', but she's confident that you'll be safe in the band of her bra)
4. Hotaru decides to just carry you in her hands to school
5. The universe conspires against the two of you in such a way that you end up in the back of Hotaru's pants, caught between her school slacks and her panties!
