"I think it would be more satisfying for you to shrink down." you tell her. She takes this well, for not really wanting to be shrunk in the first place:
"Okay," she says hesitantly. She looks fairly apprehensive, which you suppose you would be in her situation. Again you take in her beautiful figure and think that maybe this shrinking thing won't be so bad. Julia swallows and attempts to say brightly:
"This should be fun!" she sounds enthusiastic, even if her words ring a little hollow.
You suddenly grow a little doubtful:
"Listen Julia, if you don't want to do this..." you begin. Julia smiles at you, a small but genuine expression that causes your heart to skip a beat:
"Thanks for thinking of me, but no. I'm sure the experience won't be that bad, and besides, I've always been one to ignore the trend. I heard from an employee that 93% of all people here are shrunk by women, and only 10% of everyone shrunk are women. This should be interesting." You smile at her, admiring her bravery. She gulps, stares at you for a second, than signals a waiter.
He comes over immediately, his expression inquiring:
"I take it Miss, that you require a shrinking?" he asks calmly. Julia looks at him, surprised, and a small smile crosses his face:
"Very few couples or partners don't end up shrinking at least one, and I remember faces, so I know people who have already had partners become, ahem, downsized." Julia nods at him. He gives a slight bow, and pulls a bottle of blue syrup from his apron. He takes a glass and sets it in front of you. Before you can say anything, Julia pipes up:
"Its not for him, it’s for Me." she tells him. His eyebrows raise, he is clearly startled:
"Is that so..." he says, looking at you both, "excuse me a moment."
He tells you. He walks over towards an elaborately decorated cabinet and opens it. Julia gives you a nervous smile, and you notice that her foot is tapping rapidly. You feel a little concerned, but don't say anything. After a few minutes of awkward silence, the waiter comes back, this time holding a bottle with a deep red formula in it. He says:
"My apologies for the delay, female shrinking is so unusual around here that most staff members don't carry Female shrinking options. Now, here's my card." he hands a card to you. On it, in gold script, you see the word "FSHRK". You look up as he continues:
"Just call that on your phone and I will quickly bring you your 'request', selected from a 'menu' that’s currently being sent to your room. Now, enjoy your shrink. Oh, and it’s advisable that you climb on the table for your shrink, Miss." He tells both of you. He pours a glass full of the red formula and sets it in front of Julia, than leaves.
You're a bit confused by his strange instructions, but decide that everything will become clear when you get back to you bungalow. You look at Julia:
"You ready?" you ask her. She nods, than grabs the glass. You see it shaking from her nervousness, but refrain from saying anything. It’s a bit late for her to change her mind now. She gulps nervously, than tosses it back quickly, finishing the whole glass in seconds. For a moment, nothing happens.
Then a peculiar look crosses her face, and she starts trembling. Or at least you think it's trembling, until you see that she's slowly losing height. She stands up and quickly gets on the table. By now she's only about 4'6, and you estimate she started out at around 5'4. Eight inches in about five seconds! You watch as she diminishes in height. After another ten seconds, when she's about 3'4, although it's hard to tell with her sitting on the table, you notice...
