Lisa woke up that morning extra eager to finish her breakfast and get to school because today her class was going on the long awaited trip to the museum of curiosity. Unfortunately when she arrived her teacher informed the class that the trip had been canceled due to the museum being closed for maintenance. Her classmates groaned and sighed. Even her teacher seemed disappointed as they had not made up a lesson plan for the day. That's when Lisa remembered her dad's size ray that she had swiped this morning on her way to school.
Never one to stand out Lisa stood up and suggested that she may have an alternative. Her teacher perked up and soon the whole class boarded the bus waiting outside. As Lisa directed the bus driver many of the passengers quickly caught on that they were not leaving for the city as they expected but going deep into a neighborhood. When the bus came to a stop in front of a house Lisa's close friends immediately recognized it as her house. The bus doors opened and Lisa stepped off and started to walk towards the front door. She reached into her pocket and instead of house keys there was some sort of remote in her hand. Before anyone on the bus knew what was happening Lisa turned and pointed the strange looking ray out of a sci-fi movie and fired.
No one knew what was going on. Students looked at each other. Some yelling, some scared silent. The two adults in the bus didn't know what to do. The teacher tried to calm the panicked students while the bus driver tried to look out and figure out their surroundings. Suddenly the ground around them began to rumble. As the quakes grew louder now the whole bus was screaming. Only the bus driver looking out the windshield saw the large tip of Lisa's brown shoe crash down in front of them. From the passenger windows the students saw large pinks tree trunk like objects wrap around the vehicle before they all felt a jolt as they were lifted off the ground.
Lisa walked over to where the school bus once stood now nothing more than the size of a toy. Picking up the tiny yellow object she could hear just the faintest squeaks from inside as she was sure her classmates were screaming their little lungs off. It would be okay. After securing her classmates she went walked back to her house and unlocked the door. Once inside Lisa gently placed the bus down at her feet before turning the size ray on herself. In an instant Lisa shrank down to the same size as her classmates. For the passengers on the bus it was if Lisa had appeared outside out of nowhere. The bus driver was hesitant to open the door but eventually relented. Lisa did her best to calm everyone and ushered them outside, all except the driver who chose to stay in the safe confines of the bus.
One by one her classmates stepped outside and into the new giant landscape that was Lisa's house. The enormity of everything around them was astounding. It was like being at the base of a huge mountain rage. Immediately several students stared in wonder at several pairs of shoes to their left, each one the size of an airplane hanger. After a few moments of adjusting to their new size the teacher along with Lisa got everyone together to start an impromptu tour. After a quick discussion about safety and the group heading out to explore the huge empty house.The teacher emphasized the importance of staying with the group but already they could see little groups forming that may try to sneak away during their sightseeing. Unfortunately for everyone Lisa's house is not as empty as it seems.
