I snickered a bit. This was going to be fun. I carefully lined up the remote at Tina, and pressed the shrink button, zapping Tina for only a few seconds before releasing it. Making sure that I was still out of sight, I set the remote down to watch the show.
Tina was getting comfortable on the lounge chair, laying back as if she was going to take a nap. She had her sunglasses on, and her hair bunched up in a ponytail, and a soda bottle sitting next to her on a small table. As the shrinking began, I could see the bikini top begin to loosen, the strings becoming slack as Tina had less to fill it up with. It was hard at first, but I could begin to see her receding into the chair, her legs no longer stretching out quite so far, and her ponytail was beginning to slide upward against the subtle reduction. Tina failed to notice all of this, however; she shifted slightly in the chair, trying to make herself comfortable again, and adjusting her top to keep herself decent. "Stupid bikini...."
Karen looked up from her gardening. "What's wrong, dear?"
Tina sat up, and began retying her bikini top, not noticing the amount of slack of bikini string around her hips. "I think my bikini's stretched out of something. It's coming loose." She finished, not noticing how less revealing the top had become. "It's fine, I guess. Isn't like I'm going anywhere today." She laid back down, only to frown and scoot herself closer to the back of the chair. After some more shifting, she finally stops moving and relaxes for a moment, only to tug on her top again. "Mom, if this keeps up, I may go back inside and change."
Karen didn't look up this time, as she poured some water on a tomato plant she was trying to grow. "Not a bad idea, dear."
It was hard to tell how much smaller Tina was, but it looked like the remote worked, and wonderfully well, to boot. She didn't even notice being zapped, being too busy trying to lay out in the sun. If you had to hazard a guess, it looked like she was done shrinking, and she might be half a foot shorter, give or take a few inches. I'm very tempted to leave her as is, and see how long she goes without noticing that she's now petite-sized. Of course, I could zap Karen, because, hey, why not? They'd be much less likely to notice if I were to make her shorter than Tina. Decisions, decisions....
