Fortunately for Nicole, nobody barged into her room to disturb her and her big sister's 'operation.' Her belly still looked pretty weird- a three month baby bump plus the bizarre distension on one side of it, making her belly bulge out a bit more.
"I hope Lisa can fix that..." Nicole muttered, peeking down at her tummy as she raised the covers of her bed to giver herself a better look. She still didn't look big enough to alarm mom and dad, but her suddenly enlarged tummy was going to be hard to pass off as just her gaining weight.
Well... she might be able to pass it off if her tummy had been normal-shaped... but right now it just looked bizarre. No baby bump or bloated belly looked so lopsided. Patting her belly again, Nicole was relieved to feel that while a bit tight, her belly didn't hurt despite one side having enlarged to the point that she seemed to be sporting a 5 or 6 month baby bump... on only one side of her belly.
Feeling some movement in her sensitive region, Nicole looked down... and in the darkness saw her big sister's tiny, half-inch tall form.
"Lisa? What happened?" Nicole whispered. She didn't see any sign of either Jason or Melanie, and her belly was still as lopsidedly distended as it had been a minute ago.
"It didn't work..." Lisa grumbled, a frown visible on her face even at her tiny size.
"What do you mean it didn't work?!" Nicole whispered.
"I mean it didn't work at all! I was going to shrink the twin down, but the shrink ray had some kind of... 'malfunction!' It backfired, shot a bunch of sparks in my face when I pulled the trigger, and now the ray is busted!" Lisa grumbled, showing the tiny raygun in her hand. Nicole could faintly make out what looked like a bunch of frayed wires.
"So... I'm guessing that you didn't shrink the twin on that side? Nicole said, gently patting her distorted baby bump.
"No... I tried, but instead of Melanie shrinking, she grew! I didn't have much time to act, I almost got pinned underneath her when she was expanding! I took the batteries out of the shrink ray, otherwise I'm worried that she would've just kept getting bigger... But clearly I wasn't fast enough..."
"What? No, no, you did your best! It's okay, really!" Nicole stated, honestly just thankful that her big sister had made it out okay. That sounded... really scary. She would've completely frozen up if the two had their positions reversed.
"It's not okay! Look, Nicole! Lisa called up to her little (but much bigger) sister, gesturing wildly with her arms.
"Dad's going to kill us! The shrink ray is broken, I have no idea how to fix it, and your stomach is even bigger now!"
"Lisa, please... I'm just glad you're okay. If... If you'd gotten hurt in there because of me, I'd... *sniff* I'd..."
Lisa's face fell at the sound of her little sister fighting back tears.
"Hey, hey, it's going to be okay, Nicole... I'm sorry, I know this situation isn't ideal. I'm just stressed out, that's all. Give me some time and I'll think of a different solution, one that will work. I promise."
Nicole sighed and laid back in her bed, wiping the tears away that had been forming in the corners of her eyes. She hadn't realized how nervous she'd been. The shrink ray had malfunctioned, and now her belly was even bigger. Her big sister had almost been squashed inside of her and had only barely made it out. Nicole was having a hard time imagining the situation in her mind, but her mind's eye painted a scary picture of a tiny Lisa fleeing a rapidly expanding unborn-Melanie, only narrowly avoiding getting penned in and squashed like a bug!
Nicole gently scooped up her tiny sister, placing her on the pillow next to her face.
Oh, yeah. She'd almost forgotten that Lisa was still tiny. That was... that was bad. Hiding her baby bump was one thing, but hiding a shrunken sister from her parents, along with the broken shrink ray? That was... that was a different story.
"What are we gonna do, Lisa? Can you grow back to normal?"
Lisa looked down at the damaged shrink ray in her hands upon hearing her sister's words. The shrink ray's condition was the same- the casing was badly dented, a multitude of wires were exposed (though thankfully not sparking), and she had yet to put the batteries back in.
1) "I think it's best we leave it alone for now. We'd... we'd better tell dad about the shrink ray in the morning. BUT... we'll make sure not to mention the twins, or what I was trying to do to him. You'll... You'll probably have to wear something thick to cover up your stomach."
2) "I... I can try. Just let me put the batteries back in real quick..."
3) Before she can respond, Nicole cuts her off. "Lisa, I... I hate to ask this after everything you just went through, but... can you try growing Jason so that his size matches Melanie's? It'll be easier to explain my belly's size as overeating or weight gain if my belly doesn't look so... weirdly shaped."
"I hope Lisa can fix that..." Nicole muttered, peeking down at her tummy as she raised the covers of her bed to giver herself a better look. She still didn't look big enough to alarm mom and dad, but her suddenly enlarged tummy was going to be hard to pass off as just her gaining weight.
