Stella gets up from her seat and slowly makes her way to the center of the desk circle. By the look of her large pupils in her eyes and fuzzy nose, you reason that she is a fruit bat. Her huge wings are relaxed and folded over her back and lower body like a cape. You note that her stiff oversized bat ears have many earrings that are larger than you at your current size. Your master gently empties you into Stella's waiting palms, which are covered in very soft chocolate-brown fur.
As Stella strokes your body gently with a black painted claw over three times your size, your owner instructs her through the process. "Okay, Stella, first I would like you to grow Dusty to one foot, the maximum size, while putting as little strain on his body as you can." Her huge eyes seem to peer into your soul as she focus on your growth. You slowly start to fill the bat's soft palm, but you notice that the left side of your body feels a bit heavier than your right. This feels very weird, so you start to sway a bit in discomfort, clutching your slightly warped head.
"Oh no, did I hurt him?" cried out Stella, immediately stopping your growth. As your body evens out on its own, your fox master comforts Stella. "You're doing fine for a first time, Stella. Try to focus more on how large you want him to be in the end, not necessarily on the growth itself." Once again, you started growing, and this time it went much smoother; almost as smooth as if your owner had done it herself. You did not even feel the strain that your master was talking about. You now found yourself supported in the fruit bats arms, which are much bonier than your master's, but not uncomfortable. Stella seemed to be a bit fearful of your safety and rested your head in her palm as if it was as fragile as a soap bubble.
"Excellent work! Now try to shrink him back to one quarter inch. It's okay if you go too far on the first try, this is very common. Just make sure that you are supporting his body in one hand and you will not cause him any bodily harm."
Despite her teacher's words, Stella looked quite nervous, as did you. Now you are sure that you are going to end up at a scarily small size, and Stella seems very fearful of hurt you accidentally. You feel yourself shrink in tiny bursts, which make you slightly dizzy. After reaching four inches, you are scooped up into the soft brown palm once more. Stella looked on the verge of tears as she focused on keeping you shrinking safely. You shrink smaller and smaller, yet the fur of her hand does not grow coarser. Once as thick as her little finger, you suddenly start shooting down faster, and Stella cries out in fear. This frightens you as well, and the slight twitch in her hand causes you to fall over in a small heap. You curl up a bit, fearful that you may fall, but you are still safe, even though you are much smaller than a quarter inch. You hear loud clapping coming from the other students and heavy panting coming from the fruit bat, but you do not look up, since you do not want to know how small you are. You then feel a familiar black pad against your back and you grow to one inch before returning to your owner's safe paws.
"Thank you very much, Stella, and you really did not do bad at all. If you can stay calm and focused when changing a human's size, I'm sure that you could be an expert someday." Stella managed to crack a smile at you and your owner before wrapping her wings a bit tighter around her skinny body. Suddenly, you hear a loud ringing, and you figure that the class must be over for today.
"Well, that's all the time we have for today; I will see you all tomorrow on Tuesday."
You see fourteen of the fifteen young adult pack up their things and leave the class, but one of them remains. You suddenly remember that you are supposed to have one-on-ones with a student every day, but you still do not know what that means. Whatever it is, the student on the first day is...
