You decide to make the short drive back to your parent's place. After twenty minutes you pull up to the driveway. Since they both work and your 17-year-old sister Kelly is still in high school, there shouldn't be anyone at home yet. Entering the house, you call out, "Hello? Anyone home?" and receive no answer. You excitedly go up to your room, shut and lock the door, and whip out the remote.
Making sure it still works, you aim the remote at an old pair of shoes and fire, shrinking them. Adjusting the dial to ensure it still works, you regrow your old sneakers. Good the remote is still working. However, before you go around introducing your family to the remote, you want to test it again on a live subject. At tempted as you are at shrinking yourself, you are hesitant as you don't want to accidentally drop the remote and remain tiny. You then get an idea as your parents golden retriever, Sadie, walks by your door.
As much as you love that dog, you were still very curious to see how this gun works on live creatures. Sure, you had the incident with Wexler earlier in the day, but your adrenaline was flowing so much that it all seemed like a blur to you now. "Come here, girl," you call out to Sadie as she walks into her room, happy and surprised to see you. After scratching her head and petting her for several minutes, you pull out the remote. Your dog glances at it before turning her attention back to you.
You hold your breathe and pull the trigger. There's a bright flash and your dog appears to be gone. You hold your breathe and quickly begin to scan the flaw, when you luckily come across your dog, now a mere 1 inch tall. Gently lifting her in your hand after she tried to run, you rub her belly with your finger in an attempt to calm her down. Placing her back on the floor, you decide to return her to her normal size. Once normal sized again, your dog seems to have forgiven you, as she looks like she still wants to play.
Over the course of the next hour, you gradually hear your sister come home, followed by your dad, and eventually your mom. Your door is shut but your car is outside, so you have no idea if they know you're home or not. It sounds like they are setting the table and getting ready for dinner. You realize this is your chance to break out the shrink ray again. You debate what to do next. On one hand you could go out normal sized, enjoy a nice dinner with your family, and be upfront about the shrink ray with them. Then again, you also considered shrinking yourself, and spying on them during dinner. This way you could mess around with them without them knowing.
