Ben, Mike, and Dana watch as their titanic husband and father ascends up the stairs and out of sight. "Phew," Dana said in relief. "Like I said boys, your father loves you but there's a good chance he won't recognize you at this size."
"Ok mom, we understand," Ben responded.
"Should we try to fix the shrinking machine?" asked Mike.
Dana glanced up at the machine. She did not realize her husband had built such a thing, much less knew how to repair it. "I guess," she sighed, as the three walked up to the machine which continued to emit a low buzz.
"Well, at least it sounds like there's still life in it, so that's good," Mike said.
Dana stared at the machine trying to think of her next move. "Yeah, it is. Why don't you two go over to the trigger and try to push it together. I'll stand here and you can try to shoot me."

Dana kicked the machine in just the right spot and it began to rattle. "What the hell?" Dana muttered. The machine shook and a bright light erupted out, growing who?
