Despite how appealing it would be to bring Ralph in on her little secret, Heather was hers and hers alone. She didn't want to share the Barbie sized girl with anyone. Sharing meant revealing too much and knowing Ralph the way she did, he would be far too tempted to steal her invention for his own use. Anyone would really.
For now she would hide Heather away until she could shoo her brother away. Enda walked over to her nightstand drawer and dropped the eleven and a half inch girl inside. Heather looked so pathetic it wasn't even funny... Okay, in Edna's mind it was very funny. She fixed the ''doll'' sized girl with a stern look, "Make a sound and I'll make you microscopic again, understand?"
Fearing for her life and not wanting to ever be that small again, Heather reluctantly nodded. This seemed to appease the geek as she gave her arch enemy a bright smile that did nothing to hide her malice.
"Good. I'm glad we understand each other." Enda then shut the drawer, sealing Heather in darkness. Edna then turned her attention to the giant flip-flop in the center of her room before another knock sounded. "Alright! Alright! Just give me a second will ya!"
The geek girl pulled out her size-ray and adjusted the setting. She took aim and watch as the large footwear began to dwindle down in size. It didn't take long for her floor to be revealed once again as the flip-flop returned to it's normal size to match it's partner.
Her foot stench still saturated the air but that wasn't really a cause for suspicion. Pleased with her work, Enda pocketed her invention and unlocked her door. On the other size was her little brother Ralph with his arms crossed looking at her with mild annoyance written all over his face.
"What took you so long?" He asked. "You weren't tinker again were you?"
The geek girl huffed. She didn't owe him an explanation, but the lack of an answer would only grab his full attention. "Yeah. Tinkering is sort of my hobby, remember?"
From inside the drawer, Heather could just barely make out the voices of the giants in the darkness. It sounded like Edna was talking to someone. Most likely a family member or her equally or her equally geeky friend, Ruth. She mentally begged for it not to be Ruth. One giant geek with an exe to grind was already bad enough. Two meant certain death.
"Jeez!" Ralph winced as he clamped his nostril shut. "Your room stinks! What are you making in there, stink bombs?"
"Maybe?" Edna lied. She needed to change the subject. "Anyway. What do you want?"
"Mom said we're ordering a pizza tonight. She just wanted to know what kind of topping you wanted." Ralph answered.
Pizza? That sounded pretty good actually. "Pepperoni and mushrooms."
"Ugh! Mushrooms. Hawaiian is the way to go Ed. Anyway, I'll let mom know. See ya." Ralph finished as Edna watched her little brother disappear around the corner. With that distraction out the way, the vengeful nerd returned to her lair and locked the door. She still had plans for the tiny girl in her drawer, and she was going to have pizza later.
Everything was coming up, Edna.
