Chloe wanted Loraine for her dollhouse. To consider it I invited her to Chloe's home for an in-take interview of sorts.
Greeting me at the door was a tall, curvy red-head in a tight top and denim skirt. "Well helloo~" She greeted me flirtily.
I smiled at her. "By all means, come in, do you want something to drink?"
"Some sweet tea sounds lovely, thank you."
What a little sex-pot. I had to remind myself she was younger than she seemed.
In the hallway she walked into the much shorter Chloe. "And there's Chloe!" She bend over to pinch her cheek. "Have you been a good girl lately?" She really did waste no time humiliating her, even with me around.
I had them sit across from each other in the living room, they were sipping their tea and exchanging venomous glances.
"I understand you two aren't getting along very well, tell me something about that." While I said that I silently wished upon the ring that they could only tell the truth.
"Lori is awful to me. She's always calling me a kid and making me seem stupid in front of my friends." Chloe complained. "Even though I'm older than her!"
"Hmpf." Lorraine crossed her arms, "It's your own fault for acting like a kid. You're always so immature, everybody walks on eggshells with you. And you don't pay attention in class either so we have to help you. It's like taking care of a toddler."
Thinking about it, Chloe does act way younger than she is. I figured it was because she hung out with younger kids, but it seemed like they think of her as immature too. She was about to protest but I interjected.
"Lorraine, come over to this dollhouse, there's something I want you to see."
I gestured for her to see the home Chloe has for little 'Nica.
The doll sized girl was hiding behind a door post. I commanded her to come out.
She walked shyly onto her plastic porch, wearing a pretty pink ballerina outfit.
"Wow! That's incredible!" Lorraine gasped as she grabbed 'Nica without hesitation. "Is she real?" She wondered as the tiny latina wrestled with her fingers.
"As real as they come. Hey Chloe, how would you treat Lorraine if she were shrunk as small as Monica?"
Because of my magic they could still only speak the truth.
"I'd make sure to humiliate her everyday. To make her feel what it's like being small."
"And Lorraine? If it were reversed and Chloe was shrunk?"
"I suppose I'd take care of her. I'm used to mothering her by now." The words were true but her expression became concerned. She was barely even still conscious of the tiny 'Nica struggling in her hand and trying to punch her face, which was almost close enough.
It seemed like I had a decision to make.
