This choice: "I need to go home, I'm exhausted" • Go Back...Chapter #5"I need to go home, I'm exhausted" by: Tisch   "Honestly, I'm exhausted. It's been a long day, I didn't realize it would be so tiring being so small, but alas. Would you mind dropping me off at my house?" Jack replied. Mariah sighed, but agreed. The well being of her friend was certainly more important than teasing him. Mariah comfortably placed Jack in her pants pocket and walked to her car. On the way there, she started speaking again. "You know, it'd be pretty fun messing around in class, playing pranks and such, with you so small. When you feel a bit better, are you up for it?". Jack could barely register what Mariah had said from her pocket, but correctly guessed the details. "Yeah, for sure. Just let me know what you have in mind, and I'll definitely think about it.
Mariah entered her car, all smiles. Though she was disappointed that she couldn't spend a little more time with Jack today, she was glad that she now knows about this and should have some fun in the future. Jack, meanwhile, settled down in Mariah's pocket and felt the hum of the car as Mariah initiated the ignition. For the rest of the ride, the two wouldn't interact much, considering how tired Jack was. When they finally arrived, Mariah brought Jack out of her pocket and warmly smiled at him.
"This is pretty cool, I'll be honest, Jack. But in all seriousness, do let me know if I can do anything for you. I don't want my little man ending up as some stain beneath someone's shoe," Mariah chuckled. Jack laughed in return. "I appreciate it. I don't plan on being like this forever, though. Whenever I'm in the mood, I'll definitely turn back". Mariah quizically looked at the little man on her palm. "What are you talking about? You mean you can go from normal to small whenever you want?". Out of nerves, Jack slightly backed up on Mariah's hand. "Perhaps I've said too much, but I suppose yeah. I can".
"That's awesome! How does it work?". Jack began to shift more and more, and Mariah took the hint that he was getting uncomfortable. "Tell you what, I'll let you go and pester you about the details later, sound good?". Jack grinned. "Yeah, sounds good. Mariah proceeded to place Jack on the doorstep of his house and waved goodbye, driving away a few moments later. Once she left, Jack double checked his surroundings for any spectators, and once the coast was clear, returned to normal size and entered his house.
The rest of the night went by uneventfully. What was the next day looking like?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
