Helping Ari...
As soon as she started to speak, something suddenly hit you and felt dizzy and drowsy. You knew falling asleep while she spoke would greatly anger her, so you tried your best to resist, however it felt like an uphill battle, your conscience faded in and out of wakefulness, as if a mysterious force sank its claws into you and tried to pull you into the void of unconsciousness. You managed to last barely over 5 minutes before you got too tired and blacked out.

An unknown amount of time later, you groggily woke up, feeling like you had woken up too early on a day you were supposed to sleep in, but the memory of what you were doing before quickly comes back and you panic, wondering how mad Arianna will be that you fell asleep while she spoke. To your surprise, you don't even seem to be on her couch in her living room anymore. Instead, you're laying on what feels like a vast gray carpet, though instead of the cold hard floor underneath, you feel something soft and slightly warm. You slowly stand up and find it difficult to keep your footing, as the 'terrain' is indeed squishy, maybe like memory foam, but it feels even softer. The view around you is surreal, everything looks way massive and distant. You slowly turn around as you try to make sense of your environment until you notice a large tan wall of sorts before you. It looks odd, and doesn't even look like a proper wall, as it looks rather curved instead of being rectangular and flat. Several meters above, you see a round cave that was oddly carved in the middle of said wall, but with no indication of stairs, ladders or any way to get up there.

"Oh, you finally woke up" You heard Arianna's voice, but it felt far more powerful and booming than ever, and that was without her typical stern tone. Still, you can't even begin to guess where it came from and look around trying to find any signs of her. Then, a bunch of skyscraper-sized pillars suddenly appeared in the sky above you, and only upon looking at them for a second time you realized what they were: a colossal hand that was reaching for you. Frozen in place, as you were beyond baffled, you were quickly, but surprisingly gently picked up by two of them. The next thing you knew was that you were lifted for what felt like hundreds of meters high into the air, and much to your shock, were brought before a mountain-sized version of Arianna's face.
'The hell was in that milk?!' You thought, still unwilling to accept what was before your eyes. To add further to the list of unrealistic things you were experiencing, Arianna didn't sport her typical stern look anymore, her expression had softened, and if anything she seemed to have an apologetic smile.

"W-What happened?!" You asked, still somewhat panicked but held back by your fear of her
"Well, as you can see, you've shrunk..." She said softly
"How?" You asked in a shaky voice
"It was my doing. My apologies. I didn't really think you'd believe me if I told you... or agreed..." She said, adding the last bit in a much quieter tone, but you still heard it.

You were so baffled and shocked that perhaps it went full loop and you actually accepted her explanation. Even though people aren't supposed to shrink just like that, she didn't appear to be lying. Still, there were other issues at hand...

"Uh... okay... but I thought you wanted my help with your, uh... stomach problems..." You said, somewhat boldly, but feeling extremely insecure on the inside. You were shaking from her revelation, but the fact that she was always so calm and level headed made you think that even if she did something like this, she shouldn't do anything too harsh unprovoked.
"Precisely..." She smiled briefly and used her other hand's index fingertip to lightly pet you, even though said fingertip was easily building sized to you.
"I'm afraid I don't follow..."
"I'll get to it in a moment... But before, I think you should try and acclimatize to your current size" She said
"Now that you mention it, how small am I?" You asked, though you weren't entirely sure you wanted to know
"You should be half an inch tall, if my calculations were correct" She replied without missing a beat.

Looking around, it seems that she's right. You nodded weakly in response. Then, out of seemingly nowhere, her fingers lowered you down towards her chest, and the next thing you knew was that you were dropped on a warm, soft and bouncy surface.
"Ms. Abalos?" You asked nervously, and she chuckled. You even had to do a double take, as you didn't think it possible.
"We're not in school, Blaise. You can call me Arianna..." She said "Or even Ari..." She half smiled "I'd prefer that" She added. You were far more baffled by this apparent warmth and familiarity than your size, and the fact that she laughed, albeit briefly.
"Uhhhh... okay..." You scratched your head awkwardly and blushed as everything around you was one of her boobs. Why she'd put you on one of them was anybody's guess.

You stood there feeling awkward and not daring to move, eliciting a small chuckle from Arianna
"I know you just went through a lot, just relax..." She reassured him and once again petted him with her fingertip. You were still beyond baffled by her apparent kindness, shrinking aside. She had yet to explain why she shrank you, but you also acknowledged she was right and you should calm down a bit. A couple of minutes later, you decided to ask some of the questions that still nagged the back of your mind.

"H-Hey Ms-I mean, A-Ari... I wonder... w-why did you call me of all people?" You said
"Huh? What do you mean?" She raised an eyebrow, seemingly taken off guard by your question
"This... is probably weird to say, but I would've thought I'd be one of the last people you'd like to see if you didn't have to..." You decided to be sincere, and honestly had no idea how she'd react. Against all odds, she gasped and looked confused
"Is that what you think?" She sounded even a little hurt, much to your surprise.
"Uh... I meant no offense, I just thought you disliked me at best or hated me at worst..." You explained, and her response was absolutely unexpected, as she picked you up again and lowered farther down so you faced her cleavage before she hugged you into it. You were effectively pushed in between two mountains, and a single arm of hers effortlessly pinned you to them
"Of course not! I don't hate you at all!" she said and pressed you even deeper into her chest. Her echoing heartbeat was oddly soothing, but you were just getting baffled to greater levels every minute. You were then raised out of her canyon-esque cleavage and before you knew it, a humongous pair of lips engulfed you for a few seconds, giving you the biggest kiss you ever received in your life.
"You think that because I'm so strict at school, don't you?" She asked in a soothing, somewhat motherly tone. You nodded shyly in response and once again witnessed the miracle of her lips curling into a smile, which highlighted the beauty mark over the right corner of her mouth.
"Silly Blaise... I have to be like that... because most teenagers are savage animals that need to be controlled. And if they see me go easy on you they won't respect me..." She explained, and to be fair, she made a fair amount of sense, even you were aware other teens could be quite dumb or dangerous, not that you were always exempt of that yourself, though you at least never bore ill will to anyone.
"Okay, that makes sense... sorry about the misunderstanding" You scratched your head, and got another kiss from her, which made your face go beet red in mere seconds.
"So... what does this have to do with helping you with your stomach?" You asked after taking a couple of minutes to regain your composure.
"Well... the idea is pretty straightforward... Y-" Arianna's explanation was interrupted by a loud, rumbling and echoing *PPRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTT!*. Even from afar, you felt the vibrations shake your bones. She quickly fanned the air around herself and you
"Excuse me... Anyway... I need you to go inside my body and help me find what's wrong" She said, and suddenly every notion you got that she was a logical, level-headed adult went right out the window.
"...what?" You say in disbelief. Seeing her nod to confirm what she just said, you just can't believe it
"Really?!" You ask and she nods again.

You sigh and rub your temples. This felt like a much more intense version of a fool's errand. Seeing the sheer craziness of it all, shrinking including, you thought fighting it would be largely pointless but you decided to use what you thought of as 'her own logic'.
"But, don't you need an entire shrunken ship of sorts for this kind of thing? It's dangerous to navigate the human body at this size... or any..." You said
"I have some money, but not that much, that would've been too expensive" She said, and you could tell by looking at her eyes that she was serious. She used her free hand to reach into her cleavage and pulled something tiny out of it, pinching it with two fingers, not unlike how she did with you moments before. She brought the shrunken items to you: A heavy duty lantern and a camera.
"That's all you'll need to help me find what's wrong" She said
"I would've thought I'd need a special suit or something... A-Ari... I'm gonna melt in your stomach if you eat me like this..." You said with a shudder
"No, you won't. The shrinking made you pretty much invulnerable, you'll be fine" She said and petted your head once again with her fingertip
"Do you think I'd put my dear little cousin's life in danger? Don't you trust me?" She asked and that definitely hit you. You sighed and nodded
"Okay... I'll trust you... but don't you think that for all the money getting these things cost you could've gotten, I dunno, proper medical attention?" You said minimizing snark as much as possible, but still trying to drive a point.
"Don't you think I tried that already? But nothing has ever worked so far..."
"Uhh... alright, here we go..." You said, trying to prepare yourself as much as you could to have your own version of a Fantastic(not) Voyage...
