When the Thrivesons came to, they found they'd ended up in a very strange place - a village full of other people, some male, some female, and all with small hut-like houses, like they were a lost tribe, or something.
Suddenly, one of the men noticed the Thrivesons. "Hey, William!" the man said, walking up to William, and shaking his hand. "Fancy seeing you and your family here! You guys got shrunk too, huh?"
The Thrivesons were so shocked, it was like they'd been hit by a wet fish. The shrunken stranger man seemed to know them!
"How do you know my n-"William said, but stopped mid-sentence - it only took him and his family one tenth of a second to realize who the 'shrunken stranger man' was - it was their neighbour, Dillon Marniston.
Dillon, [or Dill, as he was usually called] was a light-skinned man with blonde hair, a blonde mustache, and green eyes. And stranger still, the only clothes he was wearing were a pair of white y-front underpants.
"OMG." Andi exclaimed. "It's Dill Marniston, our neighbour!"
"He's shrunk to our size too!" Olly said.
"You're not wrong." Dill said, "I certainly did shrink to your size."
And when Lisa explained to Dill about the giant doubles of them, he said, "Yep, I experienced that too!"
"How do you know all this?" William asked Dillon.
"Well," Dill said, "because i was the first one."
"Wow!" Olly said, his jaw dropping. "Dill must be someone who predicts the future!"
"It's not like that." Dill said, "You see, remember when Lisa took you home from school 2 days ago, and she noticed i wasn't watering my garden?"
The kids nodded.
"Well, the reason why I wasn't there was because i had shrunk - shrunk outta my clothing, right down to the size you see me now." Dill stated.
"Well," William said, "when [i]we[/i] shrunk, none of our clothes fit anymore. We had to make our own clothes out of fabric scraps."
"But, How come you're still in your underwear?" he added, motioning to Dill's y-fronts.
"Oh, well, I guess some people have different occurences to their clothes when they change size." Dill said. "Some people have only their underwear shrink with them, some don't have any clothes shrink at all, and some have all their clothes shrink with them, and some have all their clothes shrink with them, minus their footwear."
"That is weird." Olly said.
"You're telling me." Dill said. "But it also means they go barefoot whilst shrunk." he added, wriggling his toes.
"Also, those who are shrunk have the giant doubles appear in their house, who look, act, and speak in roughly the same way as us." he added. "Therefore, I am the official guide to the village of shrunken people." he said. "It is called... The Village of the Shrunken!"
So, what happens next?
