After packing up a week's worth of clothes, Nat and her friends once more went back to the Moreland home.
Telling their parents about a week long trip to a camping ground with adult supervision had put the Desoto and Rei's parents at ease. For Nat though, her parents were surprisingly okay with a trip to the land of the fairies. As Nats mother explained, it was good to broaden ones horizons to other elements of the supernatural. When Nat asked if she should worry, Marisa simply chuckled.
"Of all the worlds to visit the fairies are probably the safest."
Now standing with Nova, Midna, Star, and Spark, Nat waited with baited breath as they prepared to depart. "Do how dobwe get there," she asked.
"Well," Spark stated. "Usually for wizards they open a portal. Seeing though that no one here is an expert we'll use a more traditional method." Nat and the others now watched as Nova approached a large tree. Bending down she now traced her finger in a rectangle along the base before knocking. Much to the teens surprise, they watched as a small door about 6 inches tall now slowly began to appear.
"We simply step through," Nova stated. Nat and the others now watched as the family of fairies shrank down, their clothing disappearing as their skin color now changed. In only seconds thw teens now beheld four nude fairies of various colors.
"Okay so thats how you guys go," Rei stated. "But what about us?"
"About that," Spark replied sheepishly. "See we're going to have to shrink you."
"SHRINK US," Miles exclaimed.
"Its not that bad actually," Connor said quickly. "I mean I've been shrunk before."
"As a fairy," Spark added. "Tbjs time though you're going to have to stay human." Connor simply nodded as the others now nervously looked at one another. Visiting the fairies sounded like fun, but shrinking? They weren't sure about that.
"Just trust me okay," Spark asked. The teens now looked at one another sighing before giving Spark a small nod. "Awesome," Spark smiled. "But um quick question. How tall is everyone?"
"5'7" Miles stated.
"5'5" Miranda added.
"5'6" Nat said.
"Um I'm only 5'2" Rei replied meekly.
"And I'm 5'8" Spark," Connor finished. "Wht do you ask?"
"Okay," Spark said. "I'm going to have to get you all to the same size before we start. Kinda makes the whole shrinking thing easier, so just stand atl for a sec." The teens now nodded, as Spark now turned to Midna. The teens watching as the blue fairy now flew up, reaching into a bag before blowing a yellow dust at the teens. Nat and the others sneezed looking over themselves carefully.
As Nat was about to say something, she paused as an odd tingling sensation now passed over her. Crinkling her nose she now looked to Connor and Miles, her mouth gaping open. "Oh my God you're shrinking!"
Miles and Connor gazed at their hands before looking at the others. Slowly but surely the teens heads dipped lower, each losing an inch in height. By the time they reached Nats height, the damphir teen felt an odd tugging on her body. Turning to Rei she was shocked as she noticed her girlfriend slowly grow in front of her. "Rei you're growing!"
"Actually," Rei giggled. "You're shrinking." Nat gawked at Rei, turning to the others and surprised to find them the same size as her. Turning once more to her girlfriend, she simply stared wide eyed as she slowly lost 4 inches in height. As the spell completed the four shorter teens now stared eachother in the eye, shocked that they had been shrunk.
"Oh good," Midna said happily. "That was tbe dust that shrinks your clothes too. I've heard humans don't like being nude."
"Wait we could have been nude," Miranda exclaimed.
"But you're not," Spark said quickly. "We made sure, right Midna." Midna simply shrugged, the teens now casting eachother a worried look.
"Geez I can't remember us being the same height Miranda," Miles grumbled as he sized himself up to his smaller sister. "Man I feel short."
"And your about to get shorter," Spark stated. With that Spark now sprinkled the teens with another handful of dust, the teens once more feeling an odd pulling sensation as their heights were slowly lowered.
Nat now reached for Reis hand, the two teens now gazing around at their surroundings. Unlike before the group now began to shrink quickly, watching as the world slowly grew around them. From the damphir teen and her girlfriend it was a surreal experience, watching thw world grow around them as the ground inches closer and closer.
Memories of early childhood now flooed Nats mind as the teens became the size of kindergarteners, faint memories if finding the world so big and wondrous coming to their heads. Still the teens shrank quickly passing into preschool height before dropping below it.
Dropping below 2 feet the teens now looked at the fairies before them. Despite knowing that they were the ones shrinking, it almost appeared as if the fairies were growing. The group of fairies going from knee high, to waist high, to chest high. As the shrinking began to subside, the teens stared in amazement as they now found themselves eye to eye with the fairy family.
"Whoa," Nat whispered. "We're so small."
"Seems normal to me," Star shrugged. The orange fairy now walked towards the door, grasping the know before opening it. The teens squinted as bright sunlight now illuminated the door before subsiding. As the group now looked through the open door, they gasped as they beheld a sprawling, tiny city built into an actual forest.
"Welcime to our home," Star said. "Hope you enjoy the experience."
