After some thought, Lisa made her choice. She adjusted the knob and pointed equidistant between the two kids, who were both beaming in excitement as the gun warmed up. Then, suddenly, she adjusted her aim and fired directly at Dani's position. The flash blinded everyone, and when it was over, Dani was gone.
Even John was startled, but when he looked down at where Dani had been seated, he saw a very befuddled sister, and he cheered. "Yes! Thank you, thank you Lisa!" John lunged for Lisa and wrapped her into a hug (his movements quaking for the disoriented Dani) before turning his attention to his sister.
Lisa smiled. "Don't mention it. Now, be safe," Lisa stressed. Though well-behaved they were, they were still children, and they had a tendancy to do things without being sure of the consequences.
"Yeah yeah," John said, not really hearing the seriousness in Lisa's voice. She sighed while John gently carressed Dani into his palm and lifted her up to his face. She was about four inches tall, so a bit less than the size of a doll but a bit more than the size of an action figure.
"Bro!" Dani yelled out. "You look humongous!!"
John giggled. "I do, don't I? I bet I look like a monster. RAAAWWWWRRRR!!!" he roared, baring his pearly white baby teeth as he accidentally bathed Dani in his not-great breath from some chips he'd eaten earlier.
Luckily for Dani, she was taking it in stride. She hadn't wanted to shrink, but now that she was small, she had to admit it was pretty damn cool. The world looked so weird and warped. It was familiar and different at the same time. Plus, she trusted that her brother wouldn't want to hurt her, even if he could be an annoying doofus some days.
Lisa smiled. It was nice to see the two getting along. In fact, this was partly why she chose to shrink Dani--it wasn't great seeing him all addicted to his game. Maybe by having a shrunken human to toy with he could be engaged while also doing something fun with his sibling.
"I know what we should do!" John yelled out. "We should play some games! There are soooo many cool games that would be even cooler with you being small."
"I have a better idea," Dani said. "We should eat! Imagine the sizes to me--they'd be huuuuuge!"
Suddenly, both children turned toward Lisa, who had honestly stopped paying attention and was texting one of her friends. "What do you think?"
"Me?" Lisa said.
John nodded. "You're the one with the money, remember?"
Ah, that was right. If they did order food, Lisa would be the one to do it. It was only mid-afternoon, but Lisa had no idea when the last time they ate was. Or maybe she could scan the fridge for leftovers to feed the kids. But the idea of watching them play a game was intriguing--even Lisa was curious how something like "Hide and Seek" or "The Floor is Lava" would go with a tiny kid as a participant.
