Every instinct was telling Derek to just leave and get to safety. Love made the brain do crazy things and now it was leading him down a path of broken trees and crushed bodies towards the girl he loved. He just couldn't give up on her. Especially not with all the guilt that weigh on him.
This had all been his idea after all. The shrinking. The exploring. All Claire wanted to do was go to the zoo and look at the monkeys. It was all she talked about when they got here. So innocent. Wait a minute could that be it. In her fear maybe Claire would go to the one place she could find some comfort. It wasn't much but it was better than nothing.
Derek could hear the screams before he was reintroduced to his mom's towering figure. Much like before Debbie knelt down and scooped large groups of people in her hand before dropping them in the mug where their screams of terror began to be drowned out by the thick porcelain walls. It was a horrifying sight to see families that had been enjoying a day at the zoo snatched up and left to an unknown fate.
Derek's pity for the micro people would have to wait. Their fates were not his concern. There was only one person he cared about right now and that was Claire. Still with neither sight nor sound of his girlfriend he worried he was already too late and that she had found herself one of many trapped in Debbie's coffee mug or worse.
Derek high tailed it to the monkey sanctuary fighting back against crowds running in the opposite direction. He didn't have the heart nor the presence of mind to tell them that they were heading right in Debbie's direction. They would figure it out for themselves soon enough.
Derek ran down the path speeding past the wooden sign that said "Planet of the Apes". The screams and cries of panicked of people were replaced by howls so loud Derek had to cover his ears. Then without warning he felt the ground shake under his feet. The animals were always the first to know.
Derek ran through the area at lightning speed all while battling the increasingly heavy vibrations that threatened to knock him off his feet. He shouted Claire's name in vain over the cries of terrified monkeys. It was useless there was no one left here.
Derek slumped down his back against a food stand and his head slumped down. He had lost hope. In that moment for the first time he was still and he felt something vibrate in his pocket. His phone. Derek forgot he had it on him this whole time. Lighting up the screen he saw several dozen missed calls and unread texts from Claire. Right before he could initiate a response a new message popped up. The message simply read:
Banana Stand!
Derek lifted his head and staring right back at him was his girlfriend Claire. Drench in sweat and clearly having been crying she had never looked more beautiful to him in the moment. Before he could run to her she sprinted towards him with more vigor than a varsity track athlete. Derek watched as she got closer before his view was promptly cut off by one ginormous fuzzy bunny slipper.
Derek's smile began to melt off his face. He was in shock and unsure if he had just seen his love crushed into nothing right in front of him. A giant hand extended down to the ground and plucked a tiny body up by it's leg. Derek caught a glimpse of Claire's horrified face screaming all the air out of her little lungs as she was dragged up higher. This wasn't over yet.
