Trying to keep an eye on your dad and brother you don’t watch where you are stepping and stumble over the carpet at the front door, meant for wiping your feet as you enter the house. As you do, you end up stepping in the glue trap. You feet sinking into it. You remember seeing a field mouse get caught once and the more it struggled the more it got stuck. You dad found it still alive and simply carried it out the trash and threw it way, still alive. You have to find a way out of this without drawing attention to yourself but it does not look like that is going to happen.
You hear your brother asking your dad if there’s more beer. He replies, “Yeah in the fridge.”
You giant brother swings his huge legs over the edge of the sofa to the floor. His huge socked feet sweeping as he walks. As he does he stirs up dust from the floor. He’s standing next to you at the sink. You inhale some of the dust and sneeze.
He immediately looks down.
“Oh Crap” you think as he recognizes you.
“Runt?, Is that you?” He asks which is what he calls you even though you hate it.
“Umm I Chet.” You stammer.
“What happened to you? Is this from earlier??” he begins to panic thinking this was a lingering effect from the lab.
“Well, not really.” You reply sheepishly. “I kinda borrowed the device. Its over there by the steps.”
Chet looks over seeing it on the floor. He walks over grabbing it and carrying it back to you. He then reaches down and picks you and the glue trap up off the floor. He sets you on the counter.
“Well?? Pull me outta this !” you yell to him.
“Mmmmm not just yet” he replies. “What you did was bad. You’re going to need to be punished.” He then turns and heads for the fridge and retrieves the beer he originally went in for. Upon his return he adds. “I may need to get dads input on this” and he carries you and the beverages to the living room.
Its half time in the game and Chet sets you down on the coffee table next to your dad. At first he glances down then away. Taking a second look, his eyes widen, and he then looks at Chet.
“Look who I found sneaking around the kitchen floor. He swipped that transformation device I showed him at the lab and shrink himself and got himself caught in there.”
They both look enormous to you but strangely calm. Then your dad pulls out his wallet and hands your brother $50. He says. “I didn’t think he would do it but you were right. He took the bait.”
“Wait, what? You two set me up?”
They just laugh. “Yeah we read your digital diary on you computer. We know all about you and that macro thing you are into and you fell right into our trap. Next time, you might want to put password protection on your computer, Runt.”
“Now we just need to decide what to do with you”, Chet says as he pulls your feet free from the sticky glue.
