Aiden then boomed into Derek's and Claire's thoughts, "I am sorry! I think you guys won't be able to see me, but I wanted to send you on an adventure that could make you guys disappear forever." Derek and Claire thought that the term "disappear forever" meant that what Aiden was about to do. Suddenly, the blinding light of flash approaches them and soon they were nowhere to be seen. Aiden then pulled the trigger of the shrink ray reducing them more smaller and smaller unless they would disappear permanently.
Back in the puddle, or the 'ocean' of Alex's armpit sweat and Aiden's spittle, they could see a phage, a sub-microscopic bacteria virus only 200 nanometers tall. And as the couple, you gradually shrank to half the phage's height.
Then, only a quarter.
And the smaller you became, the more... interesting... the sea of the couple's fluids surrounding you appeared.
For one thing, they'd never in your entire life seen any fluid quite as lumpy as this. The ocean of the mixture (that was Alex's sweat and Aiden's spit) were transforming into what seemed to be a layer of oatmeal. After a few moments pondering this development, they realized that they were approaching the atomic, and subatomic, levels. What they were witnessing was actually molecules pressing against and repelling each other, forming an uneven microscopic carpet. It was an environment only visible by electron microscope, and they were certain that no one else in the universe had ever seen this world as closely.
At least, they had an hope. And given the couple's god complex, you might not be the last. But there was little that you could do about that any more.
They merely floated in that endless sea of bodily fluids. There wasn't anything else to do, even if they had the desire to do something.
Before long, that sea began to instead resemble the ball pit at a toddler play center. The hazy electron shells of individual atoms were now becoming visible and distinct, and they bounced and shifted about in that vast seemingly still sea of saliva. They even began to see balls soaring through the air, molecules of oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases that were normally invisible to the naked eye. They, at the atomic level, the world was growing decidedly alien.
Though, this being the case, how were they could still breathe if oxygen atoms were nearing the size of their fists?
They didn't have long to ponder this thought, however, before they suddenly began slipping between the molecules in the mixture of Aiden spittle and Alex's sweat. Shocked momentarily, Derek and Claire instinctively flailed their arms, trying to return to the surface... before remembering their current situation. Drowning would probably be a good way to end all this. (Assuming they could, of course. After all, if they didn't need to breathe...) At any rate, they went limp once more and simply let their body slide down.
Actually, it felt like they were being pulled...
They blinked and stared below, trying to discern the source of that force. After a few moments, you noticed what appeared to be a colossal sinkhole beneath the sea of spit and sweat molecules, a vast chasm well over a thousand times wider than their microscopic body. You weren't certain how you could actually tell the difference between the saliva and sweat atoms and those marking the rim of that crevasse, but on an instinctive level you just did.
By that same token, they also knew that this titanic hole was merely one of the pores in the skin of Alex's waist... and that the force gripping your body was pulling you toward that fathomless abyss.
You grimaced in resignation. Again, it was just par for the course. Their existence, forever suffused and enveloped by that ungodly horrific appendage... what sort of environment would they encounter in there as they shrank beyond the subatomic level?
They passed beyond the rim of Alex's gargantuan pore, breaking the plane and entering her infinite body. As they continued shrinking, the small electron shells of each atom ballooning in size from grapefruits to medicine balls. Eventually, they were enveloped within the space of what they believed to be a carbon atom, judging from the cluster of protons within its ever swelling nucleus. Pulled by that invisible force, they dove into the center of that subatomic particle cluster.
An amorphous black mass writhed within the innermost core of the carbon atom. As they approached, it seemed to reach out toward they, beckoning them forth. They toppled through the surface of that unnatural cloud, pressing onward through a sea of very dense, thick fog...
Afterwards they ended up on a strange, but familiar surface. Derek and Claire were
