"So I guess I'll have to explain, then..." Mia sighed.

When she agreed to assist Amy with her little project, Mia hadn't expected to find herself in this situation. She closed her eyes and sighed. When she opened them again, she was surprised by the harshness of Mike and Lily's glare–a mix of worry and fear.

"Hey! Don't look at me like that!" Mia raised her hands defensively.

"What do you know?" Mike said with a certain finality in his voice.

Mia stifled a giggle. When he was normal-sized, she probably would've felt intimidated. Now, though, he was Lily's height–a full 6" shorter than Mia.

"Is Mike going to be okay?" Lily looked tearfully worried about her friend.

Mia's heart sank and instantly wrapped a reassuring arm around her.

"Yes! He'll be fine, I promise," Mia cooed, "Remember how Amy was struggling to decide on a topic for her thesis paper?"

Lily nodded, her teary eyes had cleared up.

"Well her mom's been working on a new drug. It's called Shrinxel and it has a very... special property... it shrinks people," Mia explained, releasing Lily from her embrace.

"Wait! What do you mean it shrinks people? That's... not possible!" Mike stammered.

Despite his denial of his situation, Mike was living proof that people could indeed be shrunk. Mike now stood a few inches shorter than Lily and had to crane his neck slightly to look up at Mia. Mike couldn't think of the last time he had to look up at somebody.

Mia simply ignored Mike and kept her focus on Lily.

"Amy decided to write her paper on the 'Impact of Shrinxel on College Social Dynamics'," Mia took a deep breath then added, "And that's where I came in... she needed my help to spike all of the batches of Jungle Juice."

"Wow! So that's why you two volunteered to mix the juice yourself!" Lily said.

Typically, mixing the Jungle Juice was done by pledges with the supervision of a sorority sister. Lily turned to look at Mike, she gasped when she noticed that he was officially shorter than her.

"So Mike is going to be shorter than me? This'll be so much fun!" Lily giggled excitedly.

Mia shook her head, "Not just shorter... smaller. Amy and I dosed the Shrinxel it so most people will shrink between 4" and 12" tall."

Lily was nearly bursting with excitement. She turned to Mike and gasped. He was now only about chest-high to her. It was like they had swapped heights.

Mike found it difficult to maintain eye contact. Sure, he wasn't used to looking up at anyone, but at his current height, he had two new reasons to distract him. Lily had always been very busty. At his newfound height, however, her boobs appeared massive to him. It didn't help that with every energetic movement from Lily, they jiggled just slightly. Enough to draw his eyes in.

"My eyes are up here," Lily teased as she caught Mike in the act.

Mike looked up at her again, blushing a bit. Lily's heart fluttered a bit. The confident and cocky Mike never blushed or got embarrassed. This was... new. This was... exciting.

"Hey Mike, I have a question for you..." Lily grinned playfully, lowering her voice to a sultry whisper.

"Huh? Yeah, what is it?" Mike asked, once again concentrating on making eye contact.

"How's the weather down there?" Lily mocked, no longer whispering.

It was Mike's turn to fume.

"That's my line! You can't use it against me!" Mike shot back. He was holding his pants up with both hands. They had become too big for him to wear long ago.

Lily giggled uncontrollably at the sight before her. The big, strong, star of the football team was struggling to hold his pants.

"Oh yeah? Whatcha gonna do about it?" Lily took a step closer to Mike, emphasizing her bigness and purposely pushing her tits inches away from his face. Although, with his shrinking stature they loomed just a few inches above him.

Mia, who had been watching this unfold, couldn't help but eat up the irony. Perhaps Amy's paper wasn't so crazy after all, if nothing else it was entertaining to watch the power dynamic shift between these friends. She couldn't help but wonder if tonight's events might have a permanent impact.

"Hey! Not so close!" Mike tried to gently push Lily away, but she was an immovable wall. 

"I said move, pipsqueak!" Mike pushed harder–again with no effect.

"Pipsqueak?" Lily said with a raised eyebrow. 

She gently pushed Mike and he quickly tumbled down, tripping over his oversized pants. 

Mike lay on the ground in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his petite friend was able to overpower him so easily. She was going to have hell to pay when he got big again. 

He looked over to Mia, who was standing next to Lily. The girls both looked down at his still-shrinking body.

"A little help here?" Mike asked expectantly.

Mia couldn't help but feel a certain thrill from the situation unfolding before her. Mike looked so cute and helpless sitting on the floor wearing nothing but his oversized pants.

"Really? The star of the football team needs my help?" Mia feigned surprise.

Mia stepped forward and pulled Mike up from the ground, slipping him completely from his pants. Mike tried to cover his nakedness, but couldn't as he was manhandled by the towering volleyball player.

Mia set him gently down. She stood close to him, however, relishing in the feeling of superiority.

Mike was naked and only standing at about half the height of the towering Amazons. He reached down to pick up his pants and cover up his nakedness, but Mia's foot stepped directly in front of him effectively pinning his oversized pants to the ground.

"Face it, Mike. Those are too big for you now... and once you're done shrinking you won't even be able to carry them. You may as well get used to being naked." Mia pointed out.

Mike struggled briefly, trying to pull the pants out from under Mia's immense weight–but it was useless. It finally began to sink in how powerless he was around them. 

Then it hit him.

He was going to get even smaller.

Amy wandered the party, pen and paper in hand. She quickly scribbled notes as she observed the chaos around her. She also cursed herself for not taking proper measurements of how much Shinxel-spiked Jungle Juice everyone had taken.

She spotted one of her sorority sisters, Sara running into the house. A rapidly shrinking man followed behind her. He was already only waist-high in height and was struggling to hold onto his oversized shirt which dragged along the ground.

"Sara!" Amy called out to her to grab her attention. She looked worried.

"Amy! I think... Someone spiked the juice!" Sara motions to her friend, "Look at Evan! He's shrinking!"

"Sara, it's okay," Amy explained calmly, "I'm the one that spiked the jungle juice."

"What?! Why?!" Sara was stunned.

"It's for my Master's Thesis. I know, I don't have to do it until next year–but I figured I'd get an early start!" Amy said as if that was enough explanation.

"Dude, you can't just shrink a bunch of people! They're our classmates, not test subjects! What if they get stepped on or something?" Sara scowled.

"Don't worry–temporary. Depending on their metabolism and natural resistance to Shrinxel... most should be normal-sized by tomorrow morning–more or less," Amy shrugged, "As far as getting stepped on... according to my mom the test subjects were fairly resilient. If you're not trying to hurt them–you won't."

Sara seemed a little more at ease knowing that the effects were temporary.

"Now–about your little friend... Evan was it?" She knelt down to meet Evan at eye level.

Evan instinctively jumped back as the relative 14' tall woman was suddenly inches away. Despite looking at her in the eyes now, he could still feel her overwhelming presence.

"Can you tell me how many cups of Jungle Juice you drank?" Mia held her notepad on her knee, ready to write. 

"I-I don't know. Like 5 maybe 6?" Evan answered, holding his cup up.

Mia nodded and scribbled down some notes. She also noted that he had used a regular red solo cup instead of the 8 oz clear cups typically intended for the jungle juice.

"And what was the ice-to-drink ratio? Don't worry you don't have to be exact, just give me your best guess." Amy asked as if this were a casual interview.

Evan gave a puzzled look, "There's ice?"

"Of course, there was ice, dummy!" Sara said with a mix of concern and annoyance.

Sara stamped her foot in frustration, making Evan jump at the sudden impact of her pillar-sized leg. He was surprised at how upset she was–and she wasn't the one shrinking!

Evan's attention returned to Amy. He could tell he was still shrinking as he had to look just slightly up at her to make eye contact as she knelt. Without warning, Amy stood up to her full height. The sudden movement of the Amazon-sized woman shocked Evan. He was once again reminded of how small he really was as he slipped below waist-high.

"H-how small is he going to get? And for how long?" Sara asked. She was still a little panicked but had calmed down significantly.

"Hmm... well that depends on a lot of factors. Metabolism, starting height, susceptibility to Shrinxel... oh, and of course how much they had!" Amy answered, confident she had remembered most of the factors her mother had mentioned.

Sara looked at Amy expectantly.

"And he's had... a lot more than we had expected," Amy admitted.

Sara glared, expecting a concrete answer. Amy looked at her notepad and started scribbling some numbers.

"I can't really answer how long he'll be shrunk or how fast. Every person is different... but I think I can figure out roughly how small he'll get." Amy said as she continued doing the math.

Suddenly she paused. Amy's jaw dropped as she arrived at an answer. Sara tried to peek over the notepad, but couldn't read Amy's terrible handwriting.

"OMG! He's going to be teeny tiny," Amy said, her voice bubbling with excitement. 

Amy pinched her fingers together they were so close to touching only the smallest glimmer of light seeped through.

Sara looked at Amy, then down to Evan. Her scared glance was enough to send a shiver of terror down Evan's spine.

"Anyways, good luck! I have to go do more observations!" Amy bounded away while Evan and Sara stared at each other, stunned.

Sara looked down at Evan with a mix of fear and pity. There was a new feeling bubbling up, however. Excitement. She had always found Evan a bit... unapproachable during their chemistry lab class. But now...

After a long pause, Evan was the first to speak.

"I-I need to get back to my dorm!" he stammered. 

Evan started to run toward the front door but was surprised when Sara moved her towering body in front of him. She appeared to be nearly 15' tall from his perspective.

"Didn't you hear her? You're going to be really small. You need someone to take care of you until this stuff wears off." Sara stated matter-of-factly.

"I live with Mike, remember? I'm sure he can handle it for one night." Evan argued.

"Really? You're going to trust the guy that ditched you seconds after getting here?" She raised an eyebrow before adding, "Besides, what if he brings a girl home?"

Evan froze. He hadn't considered that. Mike always brought a girl home when he went to parties. Evan typically left the dorm when that happened... but now there'd be no escape. Instead, he'd be subject to every noise and movement that the mountain-sized people made. Worse yet–what if they forgot he was there in the heat of the moment he could easily get crushed as they switched positions. He shivered at the thought.

"Shit... you're right... that would be terrifying," Evan said as he looked at the ground with a thousand-yard stare.

Sara looked down at Evan with a mix of empathy and pity. She heard a noise from outside and looked out the backdoor's window. She caught a glimpse of her sorority sisters Lily and Mia standing over a shrunken Mike.

"Actually, I don't think you'll have to worry about that. I suspect Mike isn't going home either," she said with a playful glint in her eye.

Evan followed Sara's gaze, a giant couch obstructing his view. He tilted his body to peek around the giant furniture and look outside. His face went pale once he realized he had no way to get home.

"Wh... what do I do?" Evan could feel his heart racing. If Amy was right... he was about to be a dust mote around dozens of drunk college students.

Sara knelt down, but Evan was barely knee-high. Even kneeling she looked to be 8' tall.

"Is there anyone else you trust? A friend? A family member?" Sara asked empathetically.

Evan shook his head.

"No, my family lives across the country... and I've always been so busy studying I haven't really made any friends besides Mike," Evan admitted sheepishly.

Sara put one of her enormous hands on Evan's shoulder.

"I guess that means you're staying with me tonight, dude." Sara said with a comforting smile, "C'mon let's get out of here before you get too small and get stepped on or something."

Evan's blood ran cold at the casual mention of him being stepped on. Could that really happen? Amy was fairly vague about what was survivable for the shrinkees of the party.

Sara stood to her full height and started walking toward the stairs, expecting the now knee-high Evan to follow.

Evan tried to follow, but his shirt was now too big and unwieldy to bring with him. He'd have to leave it behind to keep up with Sara. He looked around the room and saw that other shrunken students had long given up wearing clothes. He'd just be another naked shrunken college student.

"You coming?" Sara asked, her body half turned to look at Evan.

Evan jumped out of his shirt and ran to catch up. Sara had to stifle a giggle as the knee-high man ran toward her, completely naked.

"So what should we do with him?" Lily asked Mia.

"Well, we aren't really sure how small he's going to get," Mia said.

"Take me home!" Mike, who was now only knee-high to Lily, shouted.

Neither of the giant women even glanced down.

"I think it's best if we wait until he's done shrinking. I suspect the party is getting pretty wild inside right now. Especially after a bunch of people started shrinking." Mia explained with a laugh.

"Good idea," Lily nodded. "Gotta keep little Mikey safe."

Mike did not like being ignored. He liked Lily's choice of nickname even less.

"Don't I get a say in this?!" Mike shouted angrily.

Both girls immediately looked down and scowled at Mike. They were clearly not happy about his tone. 

"No," they said in unison.

Mike took a step back at the intensity of their stares. The giant women chuckled at each other at Mike's reaction.

"You're not scared of your 'pipsqueak' friend, are you?" Lily said while looking down at Mike with a coy smile.

"N-no..." Mike stuttered. He had shrunk below Lily's kneecap.

"What? I can't hear you down there," Lily said as she knelt down and picked Mike up.

Mike immediately tried to squirm out of Lily's iron grip. As she hoisted him into the air he was stunned at how quickly the ground moved away from him. His attempts to escape quickly turned into desperate clinging to the hand that wrapped his torso.

Lily was surprised at how small and light Mike was now. At how easily she thwarted his attempts to escape her grip. She couldn't help but feel he was powerless to stop her–and that idea made her bite her lip. Lily definitely wanted to explore that more... later.

"There, now we can hear you better," Lily said as she set Mike on top of the beer pong table.

Mike made himself comfortable by sitting on the table, his legs dangling over the edge. For now, he was just grateful not to be on the ground in the presence of these giant girls.

"Plus, no one will step on you now," Mia giggled.

"So once Mike is done shrinking we'll go inside, right?" Lily asked.

"Right," Mia nodded.

"Hey ladies, wild party huh?" A masculine voice came from behind Lily and Mia. The girls turned to see who it was, but Mike recognized it instantly as Jake.

Jake was on the football team with Mike, but he was jealous of Mike's success. Mike was always just slightly better than him in every way when it came to athletics. This was the last person Mike wanted to see him like this. He tried to position himself so that Mia and Lily were between him and Jake.

"Oh, hey Jake," Lily said with a flirtatious smile.

Jake was still normal-sized and made no effort to hide the fact he was staring at Lily's oversized cleavage as he approached.

"I'm glad to see your assets are still as big as ever," Jake gave a flirty wink to Lily.

"You can't tame these," Lily teased as she cupped her breasts and gently wobbled them.

Mia rolled her eyes as the two flirted. She shifted her weight to better face Jake. This slight change in positioning caused her butt to align directly in front of Mike.

Mike's jaw dropped as Mia's toned ass positioned in front of him like a movie theater screen. She was wearing tight yoga pants that left little to the imagination–especially from his position.

"Don't you have a girlfriend? Shouldn't you be checking out her assets?" Mia reminded Jake, clearly annoyed by his unfaithfulness.

Lily took a step back, blushing. She had no idea that Jake was in a relationship.

"I would... but she went and got herself shrunk too," Jake reached into her pocket and pulled out a tiny, 4" tall woman. It was Emily, his girlfriend.

"Not a whole lot of assets to check out..." He pinched his tiny girlfriend's boobs gently. 

Jake then dangled the tiny woman next to Lily's enormous bust. Compared to her, each tit was the size of a house.

"See? There's no comparison." Jake said as his tiny girlfriend squirmed and kicked while hovering next to Lily's enormous cleavage.

Lily shifted uncomfortably.

"That sounds like a you problem," Mia answered firmly.

Jake let out a heavy sigh as he put his tiny girlfriend back into his pocket.

"Well if you change your mind... just come find me," he said with a wink.

Lily didn't even make eye contact with him. Mia took a step back, unconsciously moving to sit on the beer pong table.

Mike's eyes went wide as Mia's shapely rear loomed closer. He could see the fabric of her yoga pants stretch and strain. She was moments away from hitting him with her butt when he realized she planned to sit down.

"Mia!" Mike shouted.

Mia, who had briefly forgotten the tiny person on the table behind her, continued to sit. She only stopped after her butt made contact and she felt the tiny Mike struggling to free himself from her behind. She immediately jumped up and to the side.

"Are you okay?" Mia asked.

Jake's eyes went wide with surprise when he saw his greatest rival sitting on the edge of the table, a mere 8" tall.

"No fuckin' way! You got shrunk?" Jake laughed uproariously.

Lily quickly noticed that Mike was very uncomfortable with the situation and scooped him up. She held him close to her chest. Mike basked in the warm softness of her body, he could smell the slightest hint of lavender wafting from her body.

"Oh I see what's going on here," Jake said, "You have the hots for Mike! No wonder you're always hanging out with him."

"W-we're just friends!" Lily stammered.

It was true, they were good friends–maybe even best friends. However, she could feel something changing. Seeing him so small and vulnerable...

"Psh, whatever, just come find me when you need a full-sized man to please you," Jake said as he rolled his eyes and lumbered off.

After Jake left, Lily and Mia turned their attention to Mike. Lily was still clutching the tiny man to her chest defensively.

"Sorry I almost... sat on you," Mia blushed a little.

"I just have one question for you..." Mike said. 

Mia nodded, waiting for his question.

He could feel the tension in the air. Between Mia's near accident and Jake's sudden presence, both girls were clearly anxious.

"You have got to tell me your workout routine, your ass is killer!" Mike said, adding levity to the situation.

"Why you little perv..." Mia said, now blushing a deep crimson.

"I mean... you're the one that gave him a front-row seat. How do we know you didn't do that on purpose, hm?" Lily teased with a laugh.

"I–I would never!" Mia said, getting more flustered.

Mike, who was still being held close to Lily's chest, was getting assaulted by her jiggly mounds with every laugh. Admittedly, it was kind of relaxing–almost like a massage chair.

Mia was the first to notice how comfortable Mike was getting while being held against Lily's chest.

"Well he looks comfortable," Mia said with a playful smile.

Lily looked down and realized what was happening. 

"And I think he's done shrinking. He hasn't gotten any smaller in a while now," Lily said.

She then looked back up at Mia.

"I'm sure there's some jungle juice left. How about we getcha some and you can join him?" Lily winked. The idea of having two tiny friends could be... fun.

"No way! I'm fine experiencing your 'pillows' at normal size," Mia grinned, then added, "Besides, can you imagine being so tiny? You're at the mercy of everyone around you!"

"No. I couldn't possibly imagine." Mike said sarcastically, causing both girls to erupt with laughter.

_______________

Lily and Mia reentered the main house through the back door. Mike was perched atop Lily's open palm–his legs dangled over the edge of her palm and his back rested against her voluptuous chest. He had to admit... being tiny certainly had its perks.

The party inside the house looked like a typical college party. That is if you ignore the fact that roughly a third of the partygoers were now under a foot tall.

In the center of the room, a game of King's Cup was being played by a mix of normal-sized and shrunken students. The center cup–the one the loser had to drink from–was filled to the top with the ocean-blue jungle juice.

They noticed Amy was walking around interviewing normal-sized and shrunken partygoers. It looked like she had already filled three notebooks with information. The usually bored woman had an unusual spark in her eyes–one that could only be seen when she was studying.

Just as Mike had gotten used to the atmosphere of the party, a whole group of partygoers ran past. Clad in swimwear, each carried a varied amount of shrunken people. Mike jumped at the sudden onslaught of coed giants, desperately clinging to Lily's chest. It was a bit shocking to see a bunch of building-sized people run by so quickly. He heard a series of splashes as the group reached the pool and jumped in.

Lily's finger gently petted Mike's cheek. He had never experienced anything like it. It was... soothing.

"Don't worry, I gotcha," Lily beamed as Mike began to relax.

It was a rush being so small and helpless. He had always been the intimidating figure protecting Lily... but that dynamic had clearly changed. His very identity seemed to be in question. If he wasn't the big, strong, football star–then who was he?
