This choice: Arc. Jaune Arc. Charmed, I'm sure? • Go Back... "Y-Yeah... Super charmed." Snickering to yourself about that awkward introduction, you make your way to part ways before you realize something. "Wait, where's my bag?" Your bag of super valuable, exotic dusts that you'd brought! Oh no oh no, a lot of that stuff is really expensive! And... also dangerous. But also expensive!
"Oh, uh... there it... is..." Jaune's voice deflated as the two of you saw your large collection of dust crystals and vials had escaped your baby, laid strewn about the courtyard.
"Quick! Can you help me round them all up?"
"Y-Yeah, of course!"
As you and Jaune carefully collect the assortment of dust products from the ground and lay them back in your bag, the courtyard is almost clear except for one crystal far away. "Don't worry, I'll get it!" Jaune said, jogging up to it and picking it up. Making his way back, he hands it to you, and you take it in your hand, ready to drop it in the bag. But then Jaune asks "That one felt kinda tingly to touch. What type of dust is that?"
"Oh, it's.... hmm... Uh-oh."
"U-Uh-oh? What's uh-oh mean?"
"Okay, so don't panic. But..."
Before you could even explain the situation, his body began dwindling away in front of you. The young man who once stood a head taller than you was now looking at you at eye level, his clothes suddenly bagging, becoming impossible to stay on as he shrunk away further and further. You laughed at the sight, but knew that touching the dust would damn you to the same fate as him soon. It wasn't until he reached your hips that you felt your clothes begin to loosen. "Welp, here we go."
The two of you continued to dwindle away to smaller and smaller sizes. The fountain base that once only came to your knees was now at your chin, and far above Jaune's head. You struggled to keep your modesty as your clothes sank and eagerly tried to fall off you, but you already knew from experience that it was a lost battle. Letting your tube-top fall from your chest, the sight was so jolting to Jaune that he forgot all about his modesty as well, dropping his pumpkin pete hoodie to the floor.
As your sizes leveled off, you had finally began to catch up to Jaune, your shrinking head dropping below his own. As you looked around and climbed out of the pile of clothes that now laid around you, Jaune began to panic.
"W-What just happened?!" He pushed his back against the wall of clothes, looking manically around, trying just to process the unreal event that just occurred. "How'd we shrink? Why is everything so big? What are we going to--"
"Calm down!" you yelled, grabbing him by the shoulders and slapping him. "Everything's gonna be fine, dude. We just shrunk from exposure to my shrinking dust. All we've gotta do is find the growth dust, and bim-bam-boom we're back to normal."
"Okay, okay..." Jaune breathed in, and let it out. "Where's this growth dust?"
"Oh, it's just in my bag." As you gestured towards the now behemoth sized bag behind you, a bird swooped down and caught the bag by it's handles, flying away with all of the dust. "Oh, welp... Huh." Turning back towards Jaune, you gently placed a hand on his tensed shoulder, speaking in the softest voice you could muster. "Jaune, you know how I told you to calm down? Well... now might be a good time to panic."
As Jaune ran around, naked, afraid, and incredibly tiny, you tried to derive just how small the two of you had become.
...
