Derek frowned. He looked around and saw nothing but tall grass, bushes, weeds and the occasional bird. He looked far in the distance and saw a familiar landmark: an old movie theater, an old factory and a gas station. Something about them looked different, though: they were less run-down.
He walked forward for a bit before turning his attention to the shrink ray. "This is not shrinking," Derek said to himself, judging his height relative to the vegetation around him. "So what... is it?"
The jock turned the dial back to "grow" and tried to zap himself again. BAM, he was standing in the laboratory, a few steps away from where he was before.
Lisa and Bethany noticed the nude Derek move a few feet in an instant instead of shrink. Bethany just stared at Derek. "That was definitely not a shrinking," she thought, but simply stared at him with a look somewhere between confusion and concern.
"Lise, I don't think it works," he said, grabbing his lab coat again for at least a little bit of cover.
"What the heck was that? You just zapped from there," she pointed, "to where you are."
Derek shook his head. "Nah, I was out standing in a field. All I could see was the gas station."
Lisa tilted her head. There hadn't been fields anywhere on the side of town since she was in elementary and her dad would take her biking out this way. They paved it all over to build the lab and the rest of this commercial-industrial area. She stared at Derek and the shrink ray dumbfounded for a minute but then shook her head and checked the time.
"Crap," she said, "We've gotta get going. I'll have to play with it at home after dinner, but mom's gonna kill us if we're late."
Derek noded and double-checked the time on his phone before showing his phone's clock to Bethany. She pursed her lips to the side before nodding. Lisa had tried her best, but there wasn't enough time for her to try again.
