Edna walked down the main hallway of the school, most of the lockered hall empty save for Edna and a few stay-behinders who either stayed for tutoring or waiting for a parent to pick them up late. The redheaded genius casually walked towards the door that lead to the bus parking lot, her ride home waiting for her. She made to smash down with her foot a bit harder with every step, smashing Heather into her bare foot, and swayed her hips a little more, sending her horrid teacher face first into her butt cheek. All in all, she felt good. She felt powerful. Never before had she felt such things. Edna had always been the smallest, been the weakest, been the most ignored or bullied girl. Now, things were different. She had a weapon that would turn the tide for any conflict she faced, and her act of vengeance was not over yet. There was still so many that needed to suffer by her hands, but for now, she was simply content with toying with the two tiny slaves she held with her right now. Edna opened the door, only for a hand to slam it shut in her face. She whirred around in anger, only to face Ruthie's buxom chest, looking up at her friend curiously.
"What's up, Ruth?"Edna asked casually, her anger replaced with a bit of happiness at the sight of her best friend.
Ruthie eyed her friend warily, choosing her reply carefully."Edna...you know what's up."
The small girl gave a grin of innocence."Whatever could you mean?"
"SHRINKING people, Edna?! I didn't even know it was physically possible!"
"Well, it is. I just proved it."Edna laughed."All it took was a little thought and a bit of radioactive materials...the hard part was concentrating the beam to minimize cells without destroying them."
"I don't care HOW you did it! I care that you did it at all!"
Edna shook her head."Tcht tcht, Ruthie. I thought you were much more openminded than this? Imagine what I could do with my new size ray! After some...personal uses, the entire planet could benefit from it! Food could be enlarged to end world hunger, natural disasters could be shrunken down to pathetic little waterdrops before even hitting a city!"
"...Personal uses."Ruthie mimed one of Edna's questionable words in that sentence.
The redhead shrugged in reply."Yeah."
"...You mean hurting people."
"Hurting the ones that hurt me first."She was so nonchalant in her voice, it scared Ruthie at how cruel her friend could be.
"Ruthie...I've always worried about you...but this is taking it too far."
"Taking it too far would be enlarging myself to a titanic stature and declaring myself 'Goddess of the Planet' or something."Edna cackled a bit at the end, but a glint in her eye frightened Ruthie even more.
"Edna...give me the gun."
She cocked her head to the side at her pink-haired friends words."What was that, Ruthie?"
"Change Heather back to normal...and whoever else you shrank...and give me the gun. It needs to be destroyed..."
"Ruthie...you know I can't do that."She said calmly, but a hint of anger at the end of her words.
"I'm not giving you a choice, Edna."Ruthie stepped closer to her friend, her much larger form towering over the 4'9 girl. Edna looked up into Ruthie's eyes, and saw fear. Ruthie could only see something soulless in Edna's. Before a move could even be made, Edna had whipped out the size gun from its safespot in her bookbag, aiming it directly at her best friend, and pulling the trigger. In a matter of moments, Ruthie was eye level with Edna, but steadily growing smaller.
"Sorry Ruthie, it had to be done."Edna said as her friend became waist high, looking up at the giant girl with shock in her features.
How small does Edna shrink Ruthie?
