Rick opened his eyes and found he was suddenly very short. He had been standing near the couch, but now the cushion was eye level! He looked down, and realized that he didn't need a mirror to figure out his change. He looked down to see he was wearing purple overalls and a white shirt with a pink flower on it. Red curly lock fell into his vision, and it became obvious that he was still a girl, but just a very young one.
"Well, that's just great!" He sighed. "How old do you think I am, older than Emily is right now?" He turned to ask Paul and Emily.
Both Paul and Emily were not looking at him however, but Olivia. Rick was about to ask Olivia what had gotten to them when he realized why they were staring. The camera was on the floor, and next to it was a little hamster ball. Inside that, was a little hamster with dark black fur. It was rolling around, clearly distressed and confused.
"Oh boy." Rick yelped. He ran over to the hamster and picked up the ball. Olivia looked at the little girl and was freaked out, as it seemed like a giant! "ARE YOU OK MRS. SMITH?" Rick asked, with his tiny little girl voice sounding like the below of a giant to Olivia. Olivia quickly nodded her head, not wanting him to ask again.
Rick lowered the ball back onto the ground and turned to face Emily and Paul.
"Emily, what happened?" He asked her.
"Mom pwobably got hew thumb in the shot." She groaned.
"Figures, she always used to do that with our family shots." Paul sighed.
"What?! Then why did you let her?" Rick asked.
"Well I didn't think about that! I thought she'd be more careful with it as well." Paul sighed, once again blowing some of his long hair out of his face. "Ugh! I'm sick of this hair, I'm sick of these... boobs!" Paul snapped. "I am so changing back next."
"Wow, now you really sound like a teenaged girl." Rick chuckled.
"Hey, watch it son." He replied annoyed that Rick had a point. "You're only about 6 yourself, and a girl, so no teasing about changes or I'll have a field day."
"Alwight alwight, stop fighting!" Emily yelled, causing Paul to finally put her down. She stood up, adjusted her pull up, and stared at both of them. "This is no time to be fighting! I wanna be big again, and you both wanna be men again wight?" She asked.
"Yeah." They both said sadly, knowing that she was right to criticize their behavior.
Olivia just squeaked, as she finally had gotten the hang of moving around in her ball, and bumped into Paul's leg.
"Right, maybe Olivia should go first." Paul suggested.
Paul was about to grab the camera when the front door swung open! All four of them gasped, and realized at once that without an adult, reality had to adjust to having only children in a house. In walked in two people that they had never seen before.
One was a red headed man with a scruffy beard, and a slight beer belly. He was dressed like he had just gone golfing and walked in laughing. Beside him was a dirty blonde haired woman who looked like you basic bitch with a short haircut, big ass, big boobs, and slutty clothing. The couple laughed before they looked around and then at Paul.
"Paula!" The woman snapped. "This place is still a mess!" She groaned.
"Your mother and I told you to watch the kids and clean up the place, so why is it still messy! And why is Eric only wearing a pull up?" He asked.
"And why is my baby girl not wearing one of her pretty dresses I picked out for her?" She asked, crouching down to tie Rick's curly hair into pigtails.
"Uhh, well... Mom, it was just a lot of work." Paul tried to lie as he inched towards the camera.
"Don't lie to me young lady, you were too busy texting that hooligan brad again." The man scoffed. "I told you, I do NOT want any gross boys like that dating my daughter."
"No, no I wasn't!" Paul defended himself, starting to feel bad for all the times he had bad mouthed Rick when him and Emily started dating.
"No Paula did a great job!" Rick tried to defend Paul, also trying to draw their eyes away from Paul as he scooted over more.
"No hush baby don't lie for her your big sister's just going through her rebellious faze." The woman baby talked Rick as she pinched his cheek. "Ew ew Rebecca, grab that, that rat of yours." She scoffed, as Rick quickly picked up the ball with Olivia inside.
"Now, I want this place spotless." The man said as he walked over and lifted a reluctant Emily up. He handed her to Paul, thwarting his plans to grab the camera. "Put Eric down for his nap, and then come down and clean. You dust and mop like a good girl and then maybe I'll think about letting you go to that party this weekend." He offered.
"But-" Paul tried to protest.
"No buts young lady... what's this?" He asked, spotting the camera. Paul and Emily froze in fear. "Did you go through my old college stuff?" He asked.
"Um, yes! I did... I needed it for, for a project!" Paul tried to lie again.
"Well you should ask next time." He scoffed. "I'm gonna put this away, and maybe if you ask politely I'll give it back." He huffed, before walking out of the room and towards where Paul's office should've been. "I'll be taking a nap. Janice, wake me if you need me." He grunted.
"Will do Fred! Come now Rebecca, let's put that thing back in it's cage and get you all dolled up. You've got that playmate with Mommy's bosses' daughter rand I want to make a good impression!" Janice told Rick before dragging him towards the stairs. "Make sure Eric gets to sleep." She said before disappearing upstairs.
"We're so screwed." Paul muttered.
"These people awe awful!" Emily groaned. "Wemind me not to complain again." She said, wiping her face.
"Ok, so Fred has the camera in that room... I definitely can't go get it now or we'll never get it back. I say that you guys should try to get it back if you can, and then I'll keep trying to get it by being polite to that asshole. Whoever gets it first will hopefully be able to fix this." He explained.
"Wight, I'll let Wick and Mom know ASAP." She agreed before looking glum. "But I guess wight now you have a house to clean and I have a nap to take." She sighed.
