Nicole eventually decided to pay her siblings a visit. Knowing that her father wouldn't give up without a fight, she thought it best to limit his options. Her brother Derek was first since his room was the closest to the top of the stairs. He was still fast asleep when she entered his room and that made her job a whole lot easier. Within seconds he was the same size as their dad.
Next on her list was Lisa. Her sister was actually in the process of waking up when she heard a knock at her door. Still feeling groggy she opened it up without giving it much thought and found herself on the business end of the shrink ray. She let out a startled shriek before dwindling down in size just like her father and brother. Needless to say that she was left shocked.
The only one Nicole hadn't zapped was mother. She then called a family meeting in the kitchen, something everyone else besides her got to do. Derek was confused and angry, Lisa was clearly frightened, Steve looked none to pleased, and Debbie appeared completely defeated. Everyone met in the kitchen per usual with some members of the family working just a little harder to sit in the chairs.
Nicole stood in front of everyone with her arms behind her back like she was about to explain a school project. A part of her could hardly believe that this was happening. She shrunk her father, brother, and sister and was now taking over the house as the new authority. This was strange but also exciting at the same time.
"You're all probably wondering why you're here." The amazon began. "Well... let me start from the beginning."
She went on to explain the version of the cereal bowl incident and how it was meant to be just a harmless prank where nobody was hurt. Debbie flinched, Steve scoffed, Derek looked upset, and Lisa looked uncomfortable.
"Then mom and dad tried to ground me even thought no one was hurt. I didn't have to puke them up." Nicole continued. "Anyway, after that mom and dad tried to ground me..."
Steve started to tap his finger impatiently. "Why did you zap Derek and Lisa, Nicole?!"
"Because you would've gone to them for help!" She snapped not happy about being interrupted. "I'm the new authority and there are going to be changes around here! Rule one: Don't interrupt me or else!"
"Or else what?" Steve challenged.
The answer made everyone jump as she zapped her father again. By the time Nicole released the trigger, her father was now the size of a baby doll!
"Holy crap!" Derek breathed.
Lisa covered her mouth in horror.
Debbie felt as if the world was spinning.
"Or else that." Nicole answered before blowing her father a raspberry.
Steve was not happy. "This isn't funny young lady. Turn be back to normal this instant!"
"Uh... dad." Derek tried. "Maybe don't-"
"Do you want to get zapped again?" Nicole cut her brother off. "I'll make you into an ant if you keep pushing me!"
The threat hung in the air and pissed Steve off all the more. He was a scientist and normally had a tight lid on his emotions but something about this whole situation in particular really got under his skin. But he wouldn't be able to do much if his youngest daughter turned him into an insect. So for now he bit his tongue. He would have to wait and play the long game.
"Sorry..." He ground out.
"Sorry what?" Nicole pressed.
The shrunken scientist crossed his arms. "Ma'am."
"That's better." She continued. "This might be your house but it's my rules. You all do what I say when I say it otherwise you'll all become bugs and all bugs go in the ant farm."
Lisa gulped nervously. "Gotcha."
Nicole then turned to her mom. "It's your job to keep everyone in line and make sure they follow my rules. If they don't then you're gonna get zapped. Am I clear?"
Debbie whimpered. "C-Crystal."
"Does everyone understand?" Nicole asked.
The reactions were mixed but she'd take them.
"Good."
