As the truck continued on its course, Nel was sleeping silently in the back of it. About two days into the ride, though, the driver got out of his truck and decided to stop at a local fast food place to pick up some food. Nel was still asleep as he proceeded to stop there, unaware of the movements after all the bumping she felt over the last two days. As she was sleeping she felt a weird smell in the air around her, enough to wake her up.
To her surprise it was a human! It was a boy, who looked around 11 or 12. He had light brown hair, green eyes, and couldn’t have been more than 4’11”. He wore a blue, long-sleeve shirt and jeans, and his shoes were black with blue stripes on the sides. The boy looked at Nel with an awe-inspiring look, but the pixie was more annoyed now than scared by his gazing at her.
“Can I help you?” she asked the kid sarcastically.
“I’m sorry”, the boy said to Nel apologetically. “My name’s Anthony. My father and I have been driving in this truck for a couple of days now to drop off some packages to a local laboratory and he stopped to quickly grab some food. I was bored of waiting in the truck, so I walked around and saw you. I haven’t seen a pixie in quite a while!”
“That’s nice”, Nel replied to the kid sarcastically again, proceeding to go back to sleep until she remembered Anthony saying “laboratory”. The pixie quickly flew up to the boy’s face and asked loudly, “Laboratory!?”
“Yep”, Anthony replied. “My father’s a scientist. We’re during this out of favor for one of his colleagues.”
“They don’t happen to know anything that can make objects grow, do they?” Nel asked in anticipation.
“Well…my father WAS carrying an experimental growth formula, but it hasn’t been tested yet”, Anthony told Nel before being cut off. Nel didn’t even wait for Anthony to finish his sentence before she proceeded to look all over the truck for this growth formula. Anthony pointed out that was in his father’s glove compartment, and Nel quickly went in and opened it. Unfortunately the bottle was too big for Nel to lift, so she rushed back to Anthony.
“Would you help me open the growth formula bottle?” Nel asked the boy, pretending to be sad. “It would really make me happy if you do.” Anthony blushed a little at seeing the cute, puppy dog-eyed pixie ask her.
“Okay, but maybe we should until we arrive at the lab tomorrow..”
“No! I want to grow NOW!”
“Okay, Miss Pixie..”, the reluctant Anthony said, taking the bottle from the compartment and placing it on the ground outside of the truck. He then took out a spoon, scooped up some of the liquid, and placed the spoon on the ground next to Nel. The little pixie then proceeded to lick up the drink, feeling a tingling sensation in her body shortly after.
“Miss Pixie, you’re getting bigger”, Anthony said in amazement, looking at the increasingly bigger Nel, who went from 4 inches to now at least a foot high. Does she continue growing?
