Melody feels herself step on something - maybe gum? - and stops, but before she can look under her shoe, she's stunned by the amazing sight at her feet. It's a tiny person, somehow alive and moving despite being maybe two inches tall, if that. From the looks of her, she must be another student. Melody can see that the miniature woman is terrified, and she knows it's probably wrong to do it, but she can't resist reaching over and picking her up.
Brittany is indeed terrified, and she instinctively moves backwards as soon as the giant Melody reaches out towards her. In fact, she's stumbling over herself and is about to fall when Melody's huge fingers wrap around her and lift her up in the air like a doll.
"YOU'RE A REAL PERSON, RIGHT?" says Melody, as her hot breath wafts across Brittany's face.
"Yes," says Brittany. She's still not sure whether she should tell Melody that she just crushed Samantha, especially as the two evidently knew each other. Samantha is gone, and Brittany just wants help. Wouldn't telling Melody the truth only complicate things?
"SO HOW DID YOU GET HERE?" asks Melody, who still has a confused look on her face.
