I'm not sure how long the journey took. At my small size, it was difficult to make sense of the momentum as every footstep and movement reminded me of being on a fairground ride. I even began to feel nauseous at one point.
Finally, she stopped and I heard a doorbell. I looked up and could only make out Tina's face before a door opened and the unmistakable voice that greeted her was that of her friend, Wendy. The two embraced which, again, caused a mild earthquake in my surroundings.
"Good of you to finally join us!" Wendy teased.
Tina huffed. "Give me a break, my mom can be so annoying and my brother lives like an animal so I had to sort their shit out before I could leave."
She was really so put out by having to pick my clothes up! That's typical of Tina though, always making a big deal out of nothing.
The pair walked into the house which by now I had realised was Wendy's home. So much for secret meetings, it was just a girl's date! Boring!
I knew Wendy a little from the times she was hanging out at our house with Tina over the years, but there were two other voices which weren't familiar to me. I discerned throughout the course of the chatter between the four of them that their names were Anya and Hayley.
Tina threw her bag onto the sofa - a small gesture to her but it felt like a plane crash to anyone stuck inside her purse - namely me. Coins and other paraphernalia flew around me as everything briefly became weightless before crashing back to the ground. I hit my head on a penny, or some other object and everything started to go a bit blurry - it was only at that point that I thought to myself "Wow, this was a really stupid idea".
What could I do though? The device was back home and (hopefully) undiscovered by Karen. I was trapped inside a purse, naked and two inches tall. Tina had no idea I was here and I wanted to keep it that way. My best bet was to lie low and hope that Tina would have no reason to go into her purse. My hope soon gave way to despair though.
"So Tina, it's your turn to pay for the pizza, right?" said who I believe to be Anya.
Shit - had she got the details saved in her phone?
"Yeah, yeah, I haven't forgotten!" Tina responds. "Let me get my new card and we can place the order."
Double shit! It's remarkable how few hiding spaces there are inside a wallet but now I had to find one, and quickly. Shuffling around through the coins and plastic bank cards in her purse, I tried to dig as deep as I could. The chamber lit up as Tina's fingers reached inside. I froze in fear and prayed that I'd managed to escape her grasp.
