Gwen hummed to herself as she couldn't help but feel rather proud of the current progress of her magic; she'd learned a lot in the past couple of weeks, getting to try a lot of them out in battles with whatever alien or bad guy crossed their paths that week. She'd taken much pride in her progress, studying that book like homework to read every spell she could.
Gwen was currently camped out on top of the Rustbucket, as they had parked at a small campground for the night. It was a relatively peaceful site with only a couple families nearby, besides the dweeb that is Ben running around and causing some sort of mischief.
This week, Gwen learned a rather interesting spell; one that can shrink people to varying sizes, though each size needed its own specific spell. When Gwen discovered this, she tried to mess with Ben, hoping to shrink him down and get some kind of revenge for him pulling all these pranks and being a general pain in the butt. But to her annoyance, the whole thing backfired, and Gwen ended up at three inches tall. While frustrated at first, she used it to her advantage; she had the space to get away from Ben as they drove to their next location, hiding in small places to finally have her time away from her cousin. Gwen continued this practice a few more times during the week. When Ben became extra annoying, she'd shrink herself down somewhere for some peace, and grow herself back later that day.
That brings us to tonight, as the tiny redhead is chilling on top of the Rustbucket at five inches tall, still having her quiet time while being able to watch everything going on before her. While all the families ate dinner, Ben ran off to do whatever, and Grandpa read a book; everything was great.
Gwen shut her eyes and took in some fresh air, not the smell of Ben's dirty socks that normally stank the place up. A gust of wind slowly picked up, causing the tiny red to shiver. It was getting a little cold, and she needed to get back inside before... oh no!
The gust knocked her spell book off the roof, making it land on the ground nearby. Gwen winced as she crawled over to the roof's edge, looking down and seeing it right in view. She needed to get to it. Gwen hadn't quite memorized the spell by heart to grow herself back just yet; she could only remember parts of it. However, she doesn't want to go out on a whim like this just in case something goes wrong.
Gwen felt her heart pounding in her chest as she did her best to figure out her next steps. If she didn't try something soon, she could be stuck shrunken up here for a while, maybe even for good.
The wind picked up, causing Gwen to let out a little shriek; it was strong enough to lift her up a little. She grabbed a hold of something, pulling herself back down on the roof.
"This is no good." Gwen whimpers.
The wind didn't stop, picking up more and lifting Gwen up and off the roof. The tiny redhead flew through the air, screaming. Seeing the Rustbucket get further and further away. This was not good at all. Gwen felt herself fall what seemed like a hundred feet, the world racing past her. Gwen shut her eyes tight, fearing the imminent impact of the ground coming.
Gwen landed with a thud... but in something soft. Something had caught her and softened her fall. Gwen slowly picked herself up, wondering what on earth she had landed on.
