"Okay, you want to sit down for the first time," Tom told Kali as she sat down on the "transporter" pod. Kali had decided, after listening to the guys, to go ahead and try the shrinking first.
"Why do I need to sit down?" Kali asked, though she went ahead and did as instructed.
"Yeah, w-w-w-why does she need to sit down?" Steve asked as he made some adjustments on his console. "Y-y-you didn't your first time?"
"And I regretted it immediately," Tom said as he knelt down by where Kali was sitting. "I'm not sure what it is, but my brain tried to superimpose what it thought the world ought to look like to what it really is. It only takes a few minutes for your vision to get readjusted. And it only happened the first time I got shrunk. It never happened on my subsequent shrinkings."
"Wait, do I need to worry about brain damage or something?" Kali said, wondering if she was making the right decision.
Tom shook his head. "Before I did my first shrinking, I got a full physical, including a brain scan, to establish a baseline," Tom explained, tapping his head with his forefinger. "And I got brain scans and blood work after each shrinking. Everything's good."
Kali nodded, still not convinced, but not wanting to back out now.
"Don't worry, Kali, it's all going to be good," Steve added, walking over to the transporter pad.
"Back off, Steve," Kali yelled, her nervousness making her order more forceful than she meant to.
"Hey Steve, I need you over here anyway," George said, gesturing toward another console. Obviously miffed, Steve returned to his station.
Kali wasn't sure what she was expecting, or if she was expecting anything, but what happened next was definitely not it.
One moment, she way eyeing the basement at...well, eye level, and the next, it looked like all the world was stretching up above her, while her vision was reduced to in a tight tunnel. All around her, there was a cacophony of loud, clashing noises.
Then suddenly, everything was back in focus. Tom was kneeling at her, his voice (in what he probably thought was a whisper) asking, "Are you all right?"
"Yeah, you're right, it was like a sensory overload." Kali stood up, feeling a little wobbly, but waving off help from (the now giant) Tom.
"This is...this is...WOW!" Kali said. This got a laugh from Tom, which made Kali blush. "Everything feels like, I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like I'm super energized."
"S-s-s-so are you ready to r-r-r-run the g-g-g-gauntlet," George asked, gesturing toward a table that blocks, legos and various models had been set up on.
"You know, I saw you get up there in a couple of jumps," Kali told Tom, eyeing the table and the distance between her now diminutive form and the tabletop, "But I think the first time around, I could use a lift up."
Tom nodded and put his hand palm up on the floor beside Kali. Kali gingerly climbed into the proffered palm. Her first impression was that Tom's palm was warm and very comforting. As for Tom, as he slowly stood up, he was very much aware of the warmth exuding from Kali. And even though Kali was wearing an oversized sweater and baggy jeans, and even though technically only her feet and palms were touching Tom's palm as she crouched in his hand, Tom felt very aware of the femininity of that warm form in his hand.
As Tom moved toward the table, Steve moved as if to intercept them. This caused Kali to cringe in Tom's hand. Tom moved the hand holding Kali in his hand to one side. "Dude, seriously, space," Tom admonished the other teen. Steve frowned but stepped back.
As soon as Tom placed her on the table and Kali literally went to building block town. She leaped, jumped, lifted, ran and had a blast. Tom reached down and moved some of the blocks around, creating an impromptu obstacle course, and Kali laughed as she ran and jumped over it. George hesitantly did the same, then grinned when Kali ran through his creation.
When Steve shoved an obstacle course in front of Kali, she ignored it.
Steve was about to whine something when the alarm rang, marking that the fifteen minutes was up.
Kali ran over to Tom, leaping into his palm as soon as he opened it.
"Hey, we can do some more time," Steve whined, frustrated that he hadn't had a chance to interact with a shrunken Kali.
"F-f-f-fifteen minutes is w-w-w-what we agreed to," George reminded Steve. Steve wanted to argue, but Tom was already carrying Kali over to the transporter pad. "Fine," Steve grumbled underneath is breath.
The unshrinking process was even more anticlimactic than the shrinking process. One moment, Kali was looking up at everyone, the next, she was eye level with everyone again.
"That...was a blast," Kali beamed, her grin extending from ear to ear.
"So, do you want to do it again?" Steve asked. "We even have pixie wings built especially for you, although you'd have to put them on your bare back," Steve continued, hoping to see more of Kali's skin and have a chance to handle her.
"Actually, T-t-t-tom did all the h-h-h-hard work," George interjected. "The b-b-biofeedback and such. Everything else w-w-w-w-was off the shelf."
"Well, George did all the coding and programming," Tom countered. George blushed at his friend's compliment, but Steve seemed irked at not getting any credit. Before he could interject, Kali took over the conversation.
"Actually, I got an idea, but I'll need your help, George," she grinned, which got raised eyebrows from Tom and George, but only irritated Steve, as he felt he was getting shunted to one side. "But we'll talk about it after we run through the first part of my campaign."
With that, Kali went to her backpack and brought out her books, screens, notebooks and dice. The rest followed suit as they got their character material ready to run.
"Okay, you want to sit down for the first time," Tom told Kali as she sat down on the "transporter" pod. Kali had decided, after listening to the guys, to go ahead and try the shrinking first.
