CJ and Carl were now shrunken to about an inch tall, thanks to Carl's selfish recklessness. Their only hope to get back to normal size was to use the handheld shrink ray to regrow themselves. The only problem was that even the shrink ray exceeded them in size. "Come on, Carl. Let's get big!" CJ said optimistically as he and Carl ran to the shrink ray.
However, from where they stood, it looked much bigger than they expected. "You sure it'll be that easy?" Carl questioned with uncertainty. They tried to climb to the top of it and turn the dial back to Grow, but at their size, turning the dial was like trying to turn a rusty sewer valve. They couldn't even push the trigger either.
They sat in front of the shrink ray with dismal looks as they now realized that there was no way they could reverse the effects at their current size. "Now what do we do, CJ?" Carl asked. "We're teeny tiny, we can't get back to normal, and now everything here that's bigger than us could crush us like bugs! We're doomed!" The young Casagrande ranted.
"Don't worry, Carl. We'll get big again. We just have to wait and then we'll think of a way out of this mess." CJ said hoping to find a silver lining to their predicament. But after a few minutes, they couldn't come up with anything.
"I've got nothing. You?" Carl said, and CJ shook his head showing that he didn't have any good ideas either. They both sighed and continued to sit in front of the giant shrink ray.
It seemed like there was really no way out of this mess that they got themselves into until...BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"What was that?!" Carl asked in a panic as the two of them felt the ground shake below them and heard some loud booming noises coming from outside the room. "It's an earthquake!" Carl yelled as they huddled together.
"No Carl!" CJ corrected. "Someone's coming!" CJ was right. The booming they felt was the sound of someone's footsteps. It seemed that someone from their family had just returned. And from the looks of it, they were coming into their room.
The shrunken brothers stayed together with fear on their faces. They suddenly saw the doorknob start turning and their gigantic bedroom door was about to open, revealing one of their many family members who wasn't shrunken and, therefore, towered over them just like everything else.
Who was it that entered the room?
1. Their cousin, Ronnie Anne Santiago.
2. Ronnie Anne along with her friend, Sid Chang.
3. Their Big sister, Carlota Casagrande.
4. Their mother, Frida Puga Casagrande.
5. Someone else.
