Jack moved around a little bit as the girl turned away from her roommate and went to her textbook, thinking of how to get her attention. But, as fortune would have it, he didn't need to do anything. As he was pacing about, Jack heard a gasp from overhead, and when he looked up, the black-hair, blue-eyed Madison was looking down at him, an expression of half-surprise, half-admiration. He started waving his arms in response, and she picked him up. "Caris, come here," Madison awed, not taking her eyes off Jack. Jack stopped moving and looked to his left. The other girl hadn't lifted her head from her studies. "Caris, come here, I have something really interesting," Madison repeated. Caris grumbled. "What is it, what have you found that has magically taken you away from your- whoa, what the hell do you have," Caris switched tones mid sentence as she peered over to Madison. Caris got off her bed and walked over. "It looks like a human, doesn't it?" Madison asked. Jack grunted. "Yeah, it looks like a human, because it is a human. How do you do, I'm Jack," he sarcastically spoke. The girls looked at each other then fell into hysterics, Madison nearly dropping Jack in her delirium.
"Whoa, hold your horses ladies, I don't want to fall to my demise," Jack half-joked. The girls started laughing even harder. Jack sighed and waited for the storm to pass. When it finally did, the girls looked at him with big grins on both of their faces. "So, Jack, as you probably can understand, we have lots of questions," Caris snickered. Jack nodded. "Of course. I bet the first will be 'how did you get so small?' and move on to 'are you that size permanently?' stuff like that, am I in the ballpark here?". Madison chuckled and confirmed his suspicions. Jack resumed speaking. "As I've told other people, I can't tell you exactly how I got this way, but I can say that this form is not permanent and I can become bigger, about half my normal size, and become bigger still, my normal size, which is about 5'10. So there you go".
Madison took a moment to collect her thoughts, then questioned Jack. "Okay, I can get that. It's cool you can do that, it seems like a fun trick, but how and why are you in our room right now?". Jack looked at both girls who were eyeing him suspiciously. He raised his hands in defense. "I know this looks bad, but there was an incident in our seminar, Madison, that wound me up in your backpack, and the class ended before I could get out, meaning you packed me away and here we are". Madison looked quizzically at Caris, then back to Jack. "You're in my seminar class?". Jack laughed. "Yeah, you probably didn't notice because I'm this small, but yeah, I am. Anyways, this is a complete misunderstanding, and if you guys can take me out of the building, I'll get out of your hair". It was Caris' turn to intervene. "Hold on a second, you should stay for a little while longer, you seem like a pretty chill guy. I bet you have some cool stories to tell, and besides, I wouldn't mind having a little man staying here, would you Madison?". Madison shook her head. "Exactly, so don't be so quick to leave, we got time and the space for you".
Jack shrugged. "All right then, sounds good. Uh, what should we do then?" he asked. Madison and Caris looked at each other
