A small crowd was hanging out, just in front of the entrance to "The Blue Lotus", which was a new, popular night club, located in the downtown business district. Joce and Peter had just arrived there, when the people, where were outside, walked through the front door. As the front door opened, Peter and Joce caught a glimpse of the crowd, which mingled inside.
"Wow... The place is packed!" Peter said to his girlfriend.
"Yeah... I like it! Let's go in..."
"Uhh.... Do you want me to go in there, like this?" Peter asked her, as he looked down at his huge body.
"What's the matter, big boy?" Joce chuckled, as she ran her hand over his pecs.
"I'll be way too big to walk around in this place... You need to shrink me down a bit..." Peter said sadly.
Joce understood what Peter was feeling. Peter was shy, and he didn't want to walk in to the nightclub and draw too much attention to himself right away.
"Okay, I see your point..." Joce replied. "I'll shrink you down a bit, but the minute something happens, I'm making you grow right back! Do you understand?"
"Sure..." he shrugged in reply.
Joce just stared at him for a moment, when Peter suddenly gasped. That familiar tingling feeling ran through his legs. He was shrinking!
Slowly, very slowly, Peter started to sink closer to the ground, as his legs shrunk a bit. From 6 foot 3" tall, Peter slowly shrunk down to 5 foot 6" tall, making him as tall as Joce. As Peter looked on, he saw Joce, as she was standing right before him, slowly grow taller.
"Hey! Don't shrink me down too much!" he protested, when he realized that she had taken off an extra 2 inches, leaving him at only 5 foot 4" tall. He was 2 inches shorter than Joce!
"Come here, you big baby... You're cute, even when you're short! I can easily kiss you now..." Joce grinned, as she walked right up to him and kissed him on the forehead. Normally, she would never be able to do that, since Peter usually stood 6 foot 3" tall!
Both Joce and Peter walked in and strolled up to the bar, where they sat down at on the chairs. They each ordered a soda, when a big gentleman wearing a cowboy hat walked up to Joce. He leaned against the bar's counter, placing his big body right in front of Joce's face.
"Well, Hello… hello... What have we here?" the man said to her.
The man completely intimidated both Joce and peter, since he was about 6 foot 6 inches tall, at least!
"Hi... “She smiled shyly, not knowing what he wanted.
"The name's Paul... Who might you be?" the big man said to her. He was starting to make her very uncomfortable, as he moved closer to her.
"I'm Joce... And I'm with someone already. I came here with Peter..."
Peter was scared to death of the man. He was far bigger and taller than him, and he was very muscular, too. Plus, he looked very intimidating, since he was wearing the big cowboy hat, suit, and boots.
"Excuse me... Joce is with me!" he said softly.
"Well, now, Joce... Why don't you come with me, and enjoy a drink with a REAL MAN, and not with some skinny little kid?" Paul suggested, as he took Joce's hand and pulled her away from Peter.
"Hey! Let go of my hand, you big lug!" Joce protested.
"You're coming with me, Princess..." he growled, as he pulled Joce off the chair. She almost fell to the floor, but Paul continued to drag her away.
"Hey! What gives?" Peter shouted.
Paul turned and stared at peter, filled with rage. He pushed Joce to the floor, before he marched right up to Peter. He then extended both arms and grabbed peter by the collar, lifting him off his feet!
"I think it's time I showed you what a REAL MAN looked like, little boy!" Paul sneered at him.
Joce had finally gotten up from the floor, and she had just regained her posture, when she realized that Peter had gotten in trouble, while trying to defend her.
"It's show-time!" Joce grinned. “Time for some muscle and a lot of growth…”
She then concentrated hard on Peter, wishing for him to grow...
