"I'll go get them," I said, getting up to leave the room. Once outside I turned on the kitchen light, finding everything inside was right where I left it. Walking over to the counter I picked up a large plate of sandwiches, and a tray with three drinks on it, and went back into the livingroom, with the lights on though I did not notice the flash of light coming from within the room, and thus, when I entered, I was completely surprised to find that the other two were gone.
"Julian, Dominique? Where'd you guys go?" I asked, and walked over towards the table, yet with my eyes still adjusted for the bright lights of the kitchen I could not see very well, and so missed seeing the two figures, standing at less than an inch tall, as they leaped up and shouted for my attention. Without seeing them I set the two trays next to the pillows, and walked over to the front door, finding it slightly ajar.
"They must have gone home, probably had something better to do," I told myself, closing the door completely, something I'd forgotten to do before when letting my friends in, and then walking back to the living room. A bright flash of thunder illuminated the scene through my window for a moment, as I looked about, and found the trays right where I'd left them, and so picking them up I made my way over to the couch and set them down gently, not noticing that each tray had picked up its own tiny passenger.
"Well then, I guess comedy it is," I said, feeling in the need for something to boost my spirits after the failure of the spell, and pushing a button on my remote I brought up a prompt of movie types, from which I selected comedy, and then scrolled down the list to a movie from the eighties that I still claimed was the funniest scifi movie ever. Selecting the title I watched the screen go black for a moment, before it lit up again, with the words, Once Upon a Timewarp on it, followed by blaring instrumentals, and the title splayed across the screen.
"Spaceballs," I read, picking up one of the sandwiches and taking a bite. Still on the trays the two small figure were trying to find ways to get my attention.
