Not willing to be shrunk for a second time today, Debbie grabbed her husband by the hand and began to sprint toward the master bedroom. Nicole watched her parents make themselves scarce with a certain degree of satisfaction before hearing the sound of a door shutting slamming shut upstairs. It was then that the realization of what she'd done finally struck her... she just grounded her parents.
She looked down at her taller form, then toward the device. She really stood up to her parents, shrank her father, and then sent them both to their room. Was she the one in charge now? Did being the biggest and having the shrink ray in her possession make her the new authority of the house?
If so, then...
A small smile started to worm it's way across her face. "I'm in charge now."
The words sounded small to her own ears but the weight behind them was something else entirely. She was now the one in charge and the fact that her parents actually bent to her will only served as proof. She held all the power and this was something new that she wanted to explore.

Debbie's heart hammering in her chest. She couldn't believe what just happened downstairs and how quickly things spiraled out of control. Nicole had the shrink ray and apparently gone mad after being rightfully scolded for putting she and her husband's lives at risk for a prank. She leaned her back against the door and slid to the floor.
"I don't believe this." Steve started to pace back and forth. "I can't even begin to understand what's going on in that head of hers. I mean, am I crazy? Were we wrong to scold her for putting our lives in jeopardy all for a joke?"
"No, not really?" Debbie replied somewhat in a daze.
Steve turned to his wife and saw just how out of sorts she was. He also noticed that he was now almost completely eye level with her now that she was seated as opposed to standing. A grim reminder that Nicole had shaved off half his height before sending them both off like children.
The shrunken man sighed before walking over and gently placing his arm around his beloved's shoulder. "Don't worry. It'll be alright."
"Will it thought?" She asked, leaning into his touch. "Nicole's not listening to us anymore and she has the shrink ray. She's angry Steve, she made herself into an amazon and there's no telling what she'll do."
Steve heard his wife loud and clear but wasn't ready to give up. "We'll get help. We'll go to Derek and Lisa and try to formulate a plan."
Debbie started to sniffle, the weight of what's happening and being shrunken earlier inside a cereal bowl weighing heavily on her. Steve held her closer and made a silent promise to himself to fix this whole mess however he could. He'd get the shrink ray back and lay down the law on his youngest daughter.
"Ssh." He whispered. "It'll be okay. I'll take care of everything."
