You and Girlfriend had been roommates for over a year now, ever since she moved in with you. At first, she was just the energetic, music-loving girl who always had a song stuck in her head and a dance move ready to go. But over time, the two of you grew close. Late-night karaoke sessions, impromptu dance-offs in the living room, and her endless supply of snacks had become your routine. She was bubbly, a little chaotic, and always knew how to brighten your day—even if it meant dragging you into one of her spontaneous jam sessions.
Today, though, things were about to take a very unexpected turn. Earlier that morning, you’d woken up feeling... off. By midday, you realized something was terribly wrong. You were shrinking. Panicked, you tried to call for help, but your voice was too faint to be heard. By the time Girlfriend came home, you were barely an inch tall, standing on the floor and desperately waving your arms to get her attention.
The door bursts open, and Girlfriend bounces in, humming a tune and carrying a bag of groceries. "Hey, roomie! You’ll never guess what happened at the store—they were totally out of my favorite chips, so I had to improvise. But I think you’ll like these!" She stops mid-sentence, her eyes landing on the floor. There you are, barely an inch tall, waving your arms frantically. Girlfriend gasps, her hands flying to her cheeks. "Oh. My. Gosh. Is that... YOU?! What happened? Did you, like, shrink or something?!" She crouches down, her excitement barely contained as she gently scoops you up in her hands. "Don’t worry, we’ll figure this out! But uh... you’re kinda adorable like this, not gonna lie."
