Size Worries Part 2

Cathy stretched her arms as the light of the sun filled her bed room. “Ahh what a wonderful day.” She rubbed her blue eyes and threw her pale legs over the side of her bed, the ruby red covers falling onto the floor. “I can’t wait to get started. There is so much to do.” She jumped to her feet as she pushed her long dark hair to the side. “Time to start my new business venture.”

She walked into the next room and picked up the bottle of size altering juice she had swipped from her job at the Fredricks Fancy company, rasing the small contair to her lips and kissing it. “Oh how I love you.” She set the bottle back down. “But for now I don’t need you. Maybe later. We will have to see after my first round of testing goes.” She laughed. “Hopefully this new doll selling venture can pay off. I am glad I saved all of my toys and such from when I was a kid because now I am going to make a killing.”

“Hey can you let us out. I know you can hear us Cathy.”

She raised an eyebrow and turned her head. “Quiet. You little pests tried to keep me up all night.”

Andrew raised his voice. “I won’t keep quiet until you return us to our normal size. I have things to do already. I can’t just sit around in some random ladies house because she was upset that I was slightly taller than her.”

Cathy narrowed her eyes and walked over to her dresser where she had Andrew and Quin tied up next to her mirror. “I don’t need to wrap something around that annoying mouth of yours do I Andrew?”

Quin shook her head. “Will you stop making things worse? She said she would restore our height if we stopped antagonizing her.”

Andrew narrowed his eyes and looked Cathy in the eyes. “I am not going to take this from some weird lady who is so obbsed with size that she has to shrink everyone. You hear me.”

Cahty unwrapped the two of them so she could pick Andrew up. “I have had it with your mouth. I think after I get dressed you will be the first I take down to the store.”

Andrew’s green eyes widdend. “Store? Why would we be going to the store?”

Cathy grabbed her purse and set it down on his legs. “You will see. She threw her night shirt onto the floor. “I am starting a new business and you are going to help me.” She threw on a shiny blue blouse.

Andrew laughed. “Hey aren’t you going to put on a bra.”

Cathy slammed her hand down, almost hitting him in the head. “I don’t wear one you perv.”  She shook her head. “The sooner I get rid of you the better. Ugh.” Next time I am going to have to remember not to shrink them so small. Some of them can’t be trusted not to gander where they are not welcome.”

“Hey I can’t help it if you are so huge that I can’t help but stare into the sun.”

He shut his mouth as Cathy glared at him. “At least the others know when to stop talking.” She slid her black slacks up. “But maybe that mouth of yours can help me.” She walked over and picked him up. “So let’s go.”

“Hey put me down.”

“Ok.” She dropped him into her purse. “There you go. Just stay out of my vauables and you can stay in there. Hopefully I wont’ have to move you to my pocket.”

He clammered so she could see him. “Oh joy. Why would I want to be tightly pressed against your body? I think I will stay in here.”

She zipped her purse shut. “Good choice. That means I don’t have to listen to you anymore.” Cathy walked out of her bedroom and towards the stairwell. “I just need to check on the others I shrunk before I head out the door. Make sure the little devils didn’t escape or something in the night.” She stopped just before the stairwell. “Oh wait I might as well grab that shrinking fourmal I swipped from my boss.” She turned around.  “Who knows when I might need it again.”

As she dashed back into her bedroom to grab the vial with the shrinking liquid she noticed that Quin was gone. “Huh?” Cathy walked over to the dresser. “Oh Quin. Come out where ever you are.” Cathy slid the bottle into her pocket and fell onto the floor. “Come on out. We don’t want you to get hurt now do we?”

She noticed a sudden burst of movement at the edge of her bed. “There you are.” Cathy twisted around and pounced, landing on the tiny figure. “Thought you could get away?”

Quin squirmed in Cathy’s hands. “Hey come on.”

“I can’t let you tell people that I have gone on a shrinking spree. Not yet at least.” She picked Quin up by the legs. “Now to put you somewhere where you wont’ cause any trouble while I am out and about.”

Quin trashed about as Cathy carried her over to the dresser again. “You can’t just tie me up again. I will get out and tell the world when you leave with Andrew on your little trip.”

Cathy pulled her panty drawer open. “Here you go.” She dropped Quin inside. “You can enjoy yourself in there seince you want to be a trouble maker too.” She laughed. “While I would like for the world to know that I plan on shrinking them. It is a tad early don’t you think?”

“Hey you can’t. . .” Cathy slid the drawer shut and wiped her hands. “Ok off to the store. I will deal with these kids later. In the mean time I have to focus on trying to see if I can sell one of them as a doll. And I have to hurry.” She rushed down the stairs and towards the front door. “I have no idea how long this fourmal I swiped from Fredricks Fancy will last.”

Quin pounded on the side of the drawer. “Cathy! Come back. Let me out of here.” She sighed and sat down on one of Cathies pink pair of panties. “This isn’t good. What am I going to do?” She looked up at the small crack of light above her. “If only I could slip out through there. Ugh.” She kicked a small spec of dust. “Too bad I am not that small.”

Quin held her hand over her stomach. “Whoh I feel weird all of a sudden. Ugh.” She laid back and took a deep breath. “I hope I am not getting sick. Maybe this being only a few inches tall thing is getting to me.” Quin moaned. “Ugh what is going on?”

She looked up as the top of the drawer came closer to her little head. “I think I have gone competly nuts.” Quin turned over and groaned. “I now think that this little panty box is trying to crush me.” She winced as her head and feet pressed against the wooden sides of the box. “Oww. What the hell?” She tried to push herself up only for her back to immediately hit the top of the drawer. “God!” Quin fell back onto her chest, the tiny doll dress that Cathy had slipped on her during the night starting to rip apart.

“I am finnaly starting to grow again.” She curled up into a ball as the sides of the drawer pushed in on her. “But my damn body couldn’t of found a better time to return to it’s normal size now couldn’t it?” The dresser moaned as her body began to out grow the confines of her little box. “A much better time.”

Cathy tapped the side of her purse as she walked down the street. “What a wonderful day.”

“Hello Cathy. What are you doing out of work?”

She smiled and waved. “Hello Ms. Everson. I am taking a vacation day. Heading down to the toy store at the end of the block.”

She smiled. “Oh? Well they have the nicest new selection of dolls. You will love them.” She pulled out an antique porsian doll from her purse. “Isn’t she lovely?”

Cathy nodded her head. “Yes.”

Ms. Everson booped the small doll on the head. “Oh how I love dolls. Did you know I once had the most life like Alice in Wonderland doll? The little dear could walk and talk?”

Cathy nodded her head as she walked down the sidewalk. “How fascinating. Now I have to get going. You know business calls.” She took a deep breath and hurried down street. “That lady creeps me out. She is a tad too attached to her dolls. Now she thinks they came to life?” Cathy stopped for a moment. “Though I do wonder how much money someone like her would pay for the new dolls I am trying to make. . .” She shook her head. “Nope. I will sell to anyone but her.”

A few moments later she spotted the sign she was looking for. Tal’s Toy Emporioum, Now with Vidio Games. Cathy laughed as she walked towards the open glass doors. “Why do they need the add on for their store name. It’s weird.”

“I will give you weird. Let me out of here.”

She slammed the side of her purse. “Quiet.” She shook her head. “I should have thought of how to manage your mouth before I came here.”

A young man in a blue uniform gave Cathy a strange look as she entered the store. “Umm can I help you miss?”

Cathy’s pale cheeks turned red. “Oh I am sorry. Was I muttering to myself?”

He nodded his head. “Yes. Is your mouth really a problem that you talk to yourself?”

She laughed. “Yes. I am just a yapper yapper.” She sighed. “Umm I am here to see if I can sell some toys in your store.”

He scratched at his bald head. “Umm I am not sure. Let me get my manager.” He turned around. “Just what I need. Some crazy lady to come in and make what could have been an easy day annoying.” He raised his voice. “Hey Marcus. Where are you?”

Cathy rubbed the bridge of her nose. “That could have been much worse.”

Andrew’s voice drifted from inside her purse. “Don’t you dare try and sell me. I am not a toy you hear me. When I get my size back I will have you fired.”

She laughed. “Ya right. Like I have anything to worry about from you.” She pulled out the vial she swipped from Fedricks Fancy. “Not with this little baby.” She narrowed her eyes at the description. “Size altering liquid. Work in. . .” She scratched at her brow. “Hey where is the rest of this info? Who scratched it out?”

“Are you the lady who came here to sell us some toys?” Cathy slid the bottle into her pocket as a tall man in a suit with broad shoulders walked up to her. She gulped as she looked up at him. Shesh he must be one, no two feet taller than me. This won’t do.

The man narrowed his brown eyes. “Well? Are you?”

Cathy nodded her head. “Yes I am.”

He crossed his arms. “Well I will be blunt. We have a policy of working with established toy companies.”

She stamped her foot onto the ground. “Oh come on. You are the only store in town and I just have to sell my products.”

He held up his hand. “I wasn’t finished and you will do well to let me finish.” She gulped. “However we do let,” He waved at her. “Unknown artists get a chance to audition their products and earn their place on our persdious shelves.” A faint smile appeared on his face as he turned around. “So that our community may grow and propser.”

Cathy held in her laughter. “Of course. Anything for the benefit of the toy community.”

He turned around, his expression dark once more. “It is for our entire community. These toys bring happiness and joy to the young and old alike.” He snorted, the whiskers on his mustage semmigly waving from his own breath. “So what is it that you have to offer?”

“I umm. . .”

He held up his gnarled hand. “Not here.” He pointed to the back of the store. “There. You will show me there. And either you will blow me away or I will cast you out.” He turned his head. “Norvil. Watch the store while I test this young lady.”

The young bald headed man sighed. “Of course sir.” He looked at Cathy. “Thanks a lot for making me get my manager.”

“What?”

He lowered his voice. “You see how he is. The less I have to deal with him the better.” He walked towards the front of the store and grunted. “Now I have to actually do work. God!”

Cathy scratched at the back of her head as she weaved her way to the back of the store. “These people are weird.”

Andrew’s voice drifted up from her purse. “You have a lot of nerve to call other people weird. Now let me out of here.” She used her elbow to hit the sides of the purse.

“Opps. My bad.” Cathy pushed the employee only door open and walked into the back room. “Were you trying to say something in there. I could have sworn. It must not be important.”

She noticed a small stage with a lone chair in front of it. “Hmm it looks like this is where that behemoth of a man wants me to show off my little guy for him.” She looked at her purse. “I can only hope Andrew will keep quiet long enough or say the right things.” Cathy laughed. “Maybe I can convince that man I have made the worlds best talking doll line.”

She unzipped her purse. “Ok Andrew.” She fished around and grabbed him. “It’s time to help me win big.” Cathy pulled him out by the leg and set him down on the small stage.

“Why? So you can sell me? This is getting weird.”

“You can bring joy to so many kids. Think about it. Just act like a barbie or ken doll. Ok.”

“What! For the last time.”

The door swung open as the manger walked in. “Ok I am ready to be amazed, my socks knocked off. Show me what you got kid.” He pulled the chair forward and sat down.

Cathy sighed and stepped to the side. “Well I have made the most life like doll line you will ever see.” The man tugged at his beard as he looked at Andrew. “They walk, they talk and they are so life like you would swear they are human.”

He crossed his arms. “That thing looks like generic junk you found on the street and slid some random whore doll cothing on.”

Cathy turned around to see Andrew lying limp on the ground. “Oh just wait a miunte. He is a bit shy.” She picked him up by the arms and whispered, “Where is that effing little mouth of yours? Do something, anything.” Andrew didn’t respond, his head falling to one side almost as if he wasn’t even alive. “I said do something.”

“Ok that is enough. Step aside.”

“But!”

“I said step aside.” Cathy sighed and did as she was told.

Marcus sighed and walked forward. “I didn’t get to run this store by chance. I got to run this store because I love my job. And because I love seeing new talent. What you have shown me today is abusurd.” He grabbed Andrew. “You think to pass this off as a toy? This regect?” Marcus hit Andrew in the head. “Why there is no life in this. What kid would want this?” He hit Andrew again, this time Andrew blinked and shook his head from the blow.

“Please for the love of god stop hitting me. I can’t take it.”

Marcus looked down at the tiny figure in his hand. “Did. . . this thing just talk?”

Andrew narrowed his yes. “Yes.” He pushed on the sides of Marcus’s fat, dark fingers. “And I would love it if you let me go.”

Marcus held Andrew up in front of his face. “Remarcable. A doll that and think for itself. I have never seen anything like it.”

“You have got to be kidding me. I am not a doll. What makes you think I could even be one?”

Marcus ignored Andrew and turned back towards Cathy. “My apologies. If I had only know sooner but this mavoulus little toy of yours seemed to be playing a prank on me.”

Cathy narrowed her eyes. “He does that. But I promise you they are not all like that.”

“There are more?”

Cathy smiled. “Yes I have a few more back at my house. I wanted to see how this went before I brought them all down here.”

Marcus smiled. “Well I can say if they are all as wonderful as this little fella here.” He gripped Andrew by the cheek. “You will be able to have a wonderful business venture here.”

“Perfect.”

“If you wait right here I can get everything ready for you. It should only take fifteen minutes or so to get the paper work.” He walked to the door. “Oh I can’t wait for this. I have never seen anything like this and I just. . .” He jumped for joy. “I love this job.” He dashed out the door.
