Derek stared up at his love Sonya and felt twirling butterflies in his stomach.
"Sonya..." He whispered. "I'm scared."
Sonya opened her eyes gently and looked down at her trembling man. She smiled warmly. "Aw, it's okay, honey! Don't be scared. Just try something out. You know whatever happens you can just change me back, right?"
"Okay." Derek smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. "But what if I'm not quite ready to make you something weird and furry? What if I just want to... uh... test drive it a bit? Start small?"
"I won't mind." Sonya smirked. Really, the idea of her lover 'playing' with her through transformation was a huge turn on. "Go ahead. Do what you want."
"Okay." Derek repeated, nodding several times and taking a slow breath. His excitement had built. "I want you to shrink a little smaller."
"Oh, feeling short, shorty?" She teased, poking his chest. The ruby in the collar seemed to brighten as if illuminated from within, and Sonya's eyes went wide. "H-Hey! I'm getting..." She practically squeeled with joy. "It's working, love! It's working! I feel *really* weird!"
"Like how?" Derek stared excitedly. "Explain!"
"Like! Like!" Sonya waved her hands frantically, starting to blush. "Like... warm! Like warm all over!"
Their joint excitement grew as rather suddenly 6'3" Sonya contracted into herself, dropping her extra three inches to an even six feet tall.
They stared for a minute, Sonya shocked at her lower perspective, Derek staring in awe as their eyes almost met for the first time since Grade 10.
"You shrank!" Derek stated the obvious, pointing at Sonya's smaller frame in amazement.
"I did..." Sonya whispered, letting it sink in. "I did!" She cried. "I shrank! You shrank me!"
They both embraced and twirled around in delight, giggling like fools. When they stopped, Derek held Sonya close and looked into her eyes with deep love.
"Smaller." She said simply. "Come on, it's your turn to be the tall one."
"Are you sure?" Derek asked, stroking her hair.
"Do it." She whispered, grinning. "Come on. You know you want to be my big man."
"Okay..." Derek took another deep breath.
