Debbie was left completely and utterly heartbroken. Steve didn't love her anymore. He wanted her to go away and never come back. She wasn't perfect, she could admit that, but she still tried her best to be a good wife and mother. What right did he have to blow up at her?! Just who in the hell did this little cheater think he is?
"You..." He shoulders began to tremble.
"Mom..." Nicole tried to calm her down.
Derek and Lisa began to take a few cautious steps back as they could tell was about to happen. Their father had just unleashed a little over six months of pent-up rage at their mother, and she hadn't taken it well.
"At her size she could mash him like a potato." Derek whispered.
"I know. He's finally lost his mind." Lisa agreed wholeheartedly.
Steve however wasn't about to back down now. Adrenaline was coursing through his veins and at the moment he felt like a powerful warrior facing down a mad titan. If Debbie wanted to throw a tantrum, then he would show her. He may be small, but he wasn't going to be pushed around.
"You bastard!" Debbie roared as she a made a move toward him.
"Steve?!" Beth shouted in fear for his safety.
"Activate Stratford failsafe!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Debbie suddenly froze when she felt the shrink ray in her hand begin to spark. "What the hell?!"
It felt hot, really hot, and she couldn't let go.
"Mommy!" Nicole rushed over.
"No! Get back!" Erica called.
A green flash that nearly blinded everyone appeared and as quickly as it appeared, it was gone... and so too were the three giants.
"Huh?!" Derek gasped. "Where did everybody go?!"
Steve was already down the stairs where the giants had been. All they'd left behind was a now normal sized shrink ray covered in coolant. He carefully plucked it up as Beth and the rest of the kids made their way down to join him.
"Okay, someone please explained to me what the hell just happened." Lisa practically begged. She was so lost.
"Failsafe protocol in the event of an emergency. I figured it would be best to install one after Erica's first rampage, but it hadn't been tested so it was real toss up if it would've worked or not." He explained. "Ow!"
He was now nursing his sore arm that Beth punched. "Don't ever scare me like that again. You could've died if the failsafe didn't work. Come to think of it, why didn't you tell me you installed a failsafe this time around?"
Steve blushed. "Too busy."
"So where are Mom, Nikki and Erica?" Derek asked.
Steve pointed down south. "On the ground."
Everyone looked down and found the previous three giants no bigger than little green army men looking completely stunned at the sight of the giants before them.
"Holy crap." Derek breathed.
Lisa's eyes widened. "They're so small."
"Wow..." Beth was in awe. "What do we do with them?"
"You..." He shoulders began to tremble.
"Mom..." Nicole tried to calm her down.
