"No!" Chrissy yelled as she leapt forward toward the stone, shrinking in midair. Her finger just barely touched it before she shrunk some more and it was out of reach. When she was done she looked around in awe at how big things were. It was almost mesmerizing but she quickly snapped out of it, stood up, and ran toward the stone. At least she tried to run, at her size the mattress was so uneven she couldn't do more than a fast walk. Her speed was irrelevant though since standing right in front of the stone, towering over her was Jess. At Chrissy's current height of one and a half feet tall, Jess's two and a half feet seemed like ten feet to her. She effortlessly shoved her to the ground and straddled her, pinning her arms down with her knees.
"You're right Chrissy, smaller people are cute. And guess what? You're about to get a lot cuter" Jess taunted as she stood up, keeping Chrissy pinned down with one foot while she reached over and, touching the stone said "I wish I was my normal height".
Nothing happened so she said it again, louder this time, "I WISH I WAS MY NORMAL HEIGHT!" Still nothing. "What's wrong with this thing?" she wondered. "Oh shit, does it have a limit?" Chrissy, pinned down by Chrissy's giant (to her) foot said "I have no idea. Can I get up now? This isn't funny anymore."
Jess, having forgotten she was even holding her down replied, "Oh yeah. Sorry" as she lifted her foot off Chrissy's chest.
Chrissy stood up and went over to stone near Jess. With them both standing, Chrissy now only came up to just under Jess's breasts. With a sigh she reached out for the stone and said, "I wish I was my normal size".
Still nothing.
"Ok, let's test the limited wishes theory. I wish I had a donut my size. Sure enough a donut small enough for her to eat appeared.
"Ok, so it's not limited" Chrissy said.
"Uh-oh" Both shrunken girls said in unison.
"I don't think these wishes are reversible", Jess said. "Good job, you've made us freaks for the rest of our lives."
But Chrissy wasn't listening. She had collapsed into a heap and was sobbing. She was picturing living her life being just slightly larger than a Barbie doll.
Jess noticed this and sat down next to her friend to console her. "I'm sorry I got mad at you. Don't worry, we'll figure out a way to fix this" she tried to comfort her friend by saying.
Just then Chrissy had an idea. She stood up, went over to the stone and said, "I wish I knew how we could be restored to our normal sizes"
There was a flash and Jess asked, "Well, did it work? Can we be restored?"
"In a way" Chrissy replied, a little disappointed. "We can wish for a growth ray that we can use to make ourselves bigger, but there would be problems."
"What problems?" Jess asked.
"Well, you see, the stone changed reality so that we've both always been this size. Anyone who didn't hear this wish will always believe we've been this way. I never noticed it before but look around this room. Does it look like the room you've always known?" Jess took a look around, this time at the contents not the size and realized that it didn't look familiar at all.
"I don't get it, whose room is this?" she asked
"Well, people our size can't really do much on our own so our sisters are our helpers. I know, we never had sisters but in this reality we do. From what the stone told me they're as good friends as we are, what with each one knowing how it is to have to take care of a much smaller sister."
Jess took this all in, surprised. "Where are they now?"
Chrissy said, "Downstairs watching TV. They leave us in your sister's room in the mornings and normally we stay in our little house over there." She pointed to the large playhouse in the corner.
"Ok, just wish for the growth ray and we can at least live normal lives in this world" Jess suggested.
"That's the other problem, our bodies could only handle the strain of being "big" for a couple hours at a time before we'd run the risk of serious medical complications."
"I don't care! I'll take that chance" Jess said as she walked over to the stone to make the wish. Just then the door opened and two normal size teenage girls came into the room. "How did you twerps get on my bed?" one of them asked. "And why are you playing with this rock?" as she picked it up and put it in her pocket. Each girl then roughly picked up Chrissy and Jess and placed them back in the playhouse. "Now get dressed we're running late for school". As she was heading out she tripped over their house, causing it to shake violently for them. "Stupid midget house, if they have to be small I wish they were very small. like smaller than ants. Then I could keep their house where I won't have to deal with it."
"Yeah, that would be cool", the other sister said as they slammed the door shut, unaware of the changes happening to Chrissy and Jess behind them.
