"You don't mind if I give you to Rose while I'm gone, do you?" Johnny asked his tiny friend.
Derek thought the question over for a moment as an image of Johnny's little sister appeared in his mind. She seemed nice enough from the few interactions they had but he didn't really know her all that well. She mostly kept herself locked up in her room and was very shy when speaking with others.
The little guy couldn't deny that he was curious about her, and this looked to be the best way to get to finally get to know her better. Derek nodded up to the giant hoping he could understand him. "Sure man, that's cool."
He couldn't tell if Johnny actually heard him or not, but he might have as he smiled down at him. "Awesome! I'm hoping hanging out with you will help her finally come out of her shell."
Derek couldn't help but acknowledge how great of a big brother Johhny was to Rose. Always the caring and considerate older sibling. With the two of you in agreement, the giant began the short trek to his little sister's room. The door was shut of course and rather than just barging in, Johnny respected Rose's privacy and knocked.
"Come in." Came a muffled voice from the other side.
Johnny looked down at his palm. "You ready for this?"
Derek gave him a thumbs up to let him know he was in fact ready.
"Good." Johnny smiled before entering his sister's room. Derek took the time to look around as he'd never been in Rose's room before, but it was actually pretty cool. There was a bed by the window and a dresser drawer sat against the wall with a mirror attached.
There was also a shelf on the wall that he'd a nerd collectibles like superhero and anime statues. There was even a model of the Death Star from Star Wars that hung in the center of her room like a disco ball. Then there was the computer table where Rose herself sat.
There were three monitors set up and the table was decorated with multicolored lights. There was even a Gundam Model sat on the desk that Derek remembered buying Rose for her birthday when he and Johnny went to the mall. He was honestly surprised to see it since Rose never mentioned opening it and putting it together to him.
"And how's my favorite little sis doing today?" Johnny asked Rose as he made his way over to where she was seated. She hadn't turned around and looked to be doing homework on the computer as her hands were busy typing something out on the keyboard.
"Good, I guess." She replied before ceasing her typing and turning to face the pair. She was about to say something until her eyes landed on Derek who was standing on Johnny's palm and waving at her. She blinked once. Then twice.
Before she could freak out or ask a whole bunch of questions, Johnny gave her the rundown on the shrink ray and that he wanted someone to watch over Derek until he got back from work so they could all have fun with the shrink ray together.
Rose was understandably nervous since Derek was small and his life would essentially be in her hands. Unless of course he used the shrink ray to unshrink himself, but she filed that away in the back of her mind. At least she knew the shrunken boy and he wasn't some stranger, though she was a bit embarrassed that he'd seen the inside of her room.
"So, do you mind looking after him until I get back?" Johnny asked.
"O-Okay." Rose stuttered out. Slowly held her palm out for Derek and her brother gently placed him in her hand. It was strange, like Hogarth and the Iron Giant. Why were her cheeks so hot all of a sudden. Was she blushing? She really hoped she wasn't blushing right now. That would be so embarrassing.
Both Johnny and Derek noticed but didn't comment on it. Instead, the former turned on his heel. "Try not to have too much fun you two. Also, Derek... I don't need to give you the whole intimidating big brother speech, do I?"
Derek chuckled as he knew his best friend was joking, although Rose's blush deepened. "Nah man, I'll be on my best behavior. I promise."
Without another word, Johnny left the room and shut the door behind him, leaving the two alone until his return. Rose gulped nervously and turned her attention back to the tiny boy in her hand. She still couldn't believe she was actually holding a tiny person in real life. "So... uh... what do you want to do?"
That was a good question. He had a few hours before Johnny got back and he didn't think Sara was going to bother her daughter anytime soon. They had all the time in the world and a shrink ray. What couldn't they do?
