"So where's your mom and sisters?" Angela asked.
"They're out right now," Christian said. "It's why I took this time to test the shrinking ray alone. The effects are still kind of funky. Good thing you didn't arrive any earlier."
"Well, I thought I saw your mom's car out front," Angela reveals.
Christian furrows his brow. "Wait, really?"
Angela continues. "I'm pretty sure I saw her purse just lying there too when I entered. Didn't know if they were all holed up somewhere in the house."
Christian suddenly stiffens. He stood there silently for an uncomfortable amount of time. Then, he bolted upright, realization dawning on his face. "Oh no. Oh no no no no—"
Angela blinks. "What?"
Christian runs to the door, looks down the hall, then dashes to his control panel. "I left the radius too wide. It must've — Angela, they might've—"
He then rushed out the bedroom, as Angela sat there looking confused, hearing his footsteps echo further down the stairs.
As she began to contemplate and figure out what exactly he was freaking out about, she ended up hearing a very faint. "HEEEEELLLLLLPPPP!" She whipped her neck to the side, craning it slowly back and forth as she heard more squeaks of "DOWN HERE!!" and "ANGELLLLA!!"
She slowly looked down at the bed, and froze. Squinting as much as she could, barely visible were two tiny figures standing on the comforter. She couldn't tell exactly who they were, but she quickly deduced they were the shrunken people. Specifically, it was Carrie and Julia, waving and shouting something incomprehensible.
Angela moved her finger up towards her mouth to gasp, only to stop herself as she noticed another minuscule figure grasping onto her finger. Bringing it up towards her eye, just about the size of her finger nail, was Lauren, flailing and freaking out. Angela's eyes widened in amazement.
Christian then busted back into his bedroom panting. "Okay, so I'm pretty sure they've been shrunken. But I have no idea where—"
"Uhhh..." Angela interrupted. "...I think I found 'em." She held up her finger with his older sister on it, and pointed towards the bed, where his younger sister and mother lie.
"Oh my God,” he breathes, jaw slack, staring at his one inch tall family.
Julia stares up plants her fists on her hips. "You shrank us! And your girlfriend almost stomped us!"
Carrie collapses back in place with a groan. "We’re having a loooong talk about your safety protocols after this."
Lauren, still on the finger, just glared "Fix. This. Now."
Christian couldn't hear them, but he definitely knew they were not happy right now. He stared at the device, then back at them, rubbing his face with both hands. "Okay. Okay. Don't panic. I can fix this... I think..."
Angela whispered from the side, "This is way more interesting than studying for finals."
