When Carrie jumped onto her new orange balloon, she was surprised when John returned to his original size and proportions.That didn't last long though, the helium was still making john larger and lighter by the second.Soon he got so big and immobile that Carrie had to lay him down on the floor to let him grow larger, but by the time she could do that, John was already three times his original size and was starting to completely fill the room,and was now touching the ceiling but something new was happening to him, he was getting too big.
John was getting worried.Not only was he becoming too big for the room that he and Carrie were in, he was also feeling tight and becoming transparent. He tried to warn her that he might pop, but since helium was still pouring into the balloon fox he couldn't move or speak to tell her what was about to happen.It wouldn't matter anyway,she was pressed against the ceiling with closed eyes and a look of absolute joy on her face. As his gigantic orange body filled the corners of the room, he wondered what would happen next.
-----
BOOM! John burst and Carrie dropped to the floor with a shout.
"How could I have let this happen?" thought Carrie.
"We haven't even been in our room for an hour and already I made him burst"
As Carrie glanced down to the floor in sadness something strange began to happen.
Right in front of her, a small piece of John hovered up to her eye level and all the other pieces of John flew towards it and combined into the shape of the fox balloon he had become. John woke back up and the couple looked at each other with a mixture of confusion and relief. There was only one problem, John was only one foot tall.
