It was hard to immediate calculate just how big everything was to you and thus, estimate your size but you definitely saw that you were way small. The "ground" was definitely the same black leather your stool's seat was made of, but now it seemed to be a vast plain that stretched into the horizon no matter the direction you looked. But hey, at least you were still looking at the stuff in a recognizable form, if you'd gotten even smaller you figured things would look much weirder, like if you started seeing individual cells, molecules or even worse yet, atoms.
Not that it was too reassuring but it was something. Everything else that laid beyond the stool looked immense, much more than one would think at first glance given that in the distance things began to look blurry. You needed something more specific to just try and start estimating your current size.
Meanwhile, the girls were just recovering from the impromptu flash-bang just like you though they didn't get shrunken by it, the 4 of them rubbed their eyes and it took them a moment to get their sight back.
"The hell was that?" Lillian asked with a mildly annoyed groan.
"I have no idea yet but it might have been that my compound reacted with something in a way it shouldn't have" Zuemy replied.
"Huh? Oh no! Does this mean it became toxic?" Cindy said.
"Hopefully not. Zoey and I did check the formula and none of the reactions should be toxic or really harmful in the conventional sense" Zuemy explained "No risk of making another Chernobyl" She chuckled.
"In the conventional sense" Jen repeated, noting the phrasing.
"There is the possibility that the formula may behave differently if made to react with random substances. By default, it shrinks to a scale of 1/100 but that multiplier could change" Zuemy said "Or it could instead grow stuff" She added, tapping her chin "Maybe I should've researched that angle some more"
"Hey, where did Blaise go?" Lillian was the first to sense and take note of your absence.
"Huh? He was right here with us" Cindy looked around in confusion.
"I don't think he'd be the type to ditch us in the middle of this mess" Jen said.
"Yeah, that's not something he'd do" Zuemy said and as she looked at their desk, she realized that the main flask had gotten knocked over but it still had about half of the shrinking substance, however, some had definitely spilled in a mostly straight line all the way to the floor, where no trace of the formula was left but there was a visible puddle of what appeared to be some industrial cleaning residue. Suffice to say that with the school usually facing under-staffing issue, janitorial upkeep could get quite sloppy at times.
"Oh boy..." Zuemy sighed. She hid it fairly well but she had just realized what might have just happened and while she had planned to test the formula on you, she intended for it to be under controlled circumstances. With the apparent contamination from the cleaner residue, there was no way to know how much you shrank, or if it even shrank you at all. Teleporting wasn't among the most likely scenarios but it wasn't off the table either.
The Cuban shortstack scratched her head, her brain scrambling to come up with explanations and solutions, this situation needed to be made sense of and then she had to find some way to solve it, which for the time being it meant that she had to secure you and work on undoing the accidental shrinking.
"What happened?" Jen asked with growing concern. Zuemy was usually one of the straight girls in the group when she wasn't having too much fun at the expense of the rest, plus she usually kept a cool head and had several backup plans in case things went south. To see her with an actually concerned look was worrying in itself.
"No point in sugarcoating it" Zuemy sighed "I think my formula reacted wrong with this cleaning residue here..." She said, pointing at the puddle still on the floor "And it may or may not have hit Blaise"
At that moment, the 3 girls' eyes all widened as far as they could, the news hit them like a bucket of ice water. There was an awkward silence that made the air feel thick and tense, which would last for a few minutes until it was finally broken by a single voice:
"So, Blaise's shrunken? Like really, really small?" Cindy asked with a somewhat cryptic tone. At first, it sounded worried but upon looking at her and her body language one just couldn't be sure. Maybe there was a hint of... curiosity?
"It's a strong possibility" Zuemy said, crossing her arms "Until I analyze this cleaner thing I can't tell the exact effect upon reacting with the shrinking formula. Most likely it shrank him but I dunno to what size... it's not as likely but the reaction might have done something else, like teleporting him elsewhere"
"Please don't tell me there's a chance it hurt him" Jen said, worried that it might have vaporized you.
"Like I said, chances of actual harmful reaction are near zero, the most likely outcome is that it did its job, to shrink, but it did it wrong and in an unpredictable way. Now, let's be VERY careful and look, in fact, look before you make any movement" She said with a serious and stern tone that she rarely used, vaguely reminiscent of her own mom's when at work.
The girls didn't need to be told twice, they examined everything as best as they could before taking a single step, first checking the desk since that seemed to be the most likely location. Unfortunately, that search led them nowhere even after triple checking, with some stern warnings from Zuemy as Jen's huge boobs in addition to Cindy's and Lillian's bulging tummies came dangerously close to brushing against the desk's surface.
As they failed to find you there, their worry grew and focused on the floor, they were practically certain that if you weren't on the desk, you had to be on the floor. Even Lillian, who hardly ever took things seriously, was searching as diligently as Zuemy. Cindy too largely put her typical clumsy cuteness aside and looked around to the best of her ability, even hoping that her glasses would come in handy at spotting your tiny form, however small it may be now.
The minutes went by but to the girls they felt as slow as molasses, the search was agonizing. No matter how much they checked, how many times they checked again, they weren't spotting anything besides the tiniest crumbs and other little pieces of dirt but nothing alive, not even with Zuemy's magnifying glass.
"What if he shrank too small to see?" Cindy blurted out. Jen and Lillian both winced as each word stung them quite harshly on the inside.
"I really hope that's not the case" Zuemy shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose "I still might be able to find him but it's gonna take a moment to set up what I need" She said as she reached towards the case where she had brought all the experiment's materials plus more.
At that moment, you felt a quick series of unbelievably enormous earthquakes followed by your entire world going dark, as if it had suddenly become night time. Looking up, to your surprise and horror you saw the mind-bogglingly gigantic form of [choice] looming ominously over you. She was just standing by your former seat with her back turned and her arms crossed but the risk was way too great, she could absentmindedly sit down at any moment! But who was it?!
