I wake up like it's no other morning; a yawn, a stretch, the sound of birds chirping and traffic bustling from outside, and someone hastily banging on my balcony door...

"What the..." I flip the sheets off me as I cautiously leave my room.

I step into my living room, and tip-toe to the balcony doors that are locked and covered by a thin curtain. But with the sun shining, a small shadow casts itself from behind the door.

Judging by the frantic pounding on the glass and the short stature of the figure, I sigh with relief and slide the curtain away to reveal and panicked Altair who looks to be on the verge of tears.

"Altair." I call him as I open the door.

"Lady Abbey!" He cries. "I need your help!

I kneel to his eye level. "Whoa, whoa...okay." I raise my hands in front of me to gesture for him to calm down. "What's going on?"

"The gods...they..." He avoids my eye contact nervously.

I sigh shaking my head. "Did Ichthys pull another prank on everyone?"

"I-I don't think so, but please you have to come with me!" He begs. "I'll explain when we get to the mansion." He says in a panic.

I cross my arms and eye him suspiciously. "Hmm...did Ichthys put you up to this? This is a prank, isn't it?"

Altair hysterically shakes his head. "No! Please Lady Abbey, I really need your help!"

I nod, seeing the desperation on his face. "Okay...I'm going to go get dressed and we'll head out."

"Okay, please hurry." He says, fidgeting with his hands.

I quickly throw on my usual outfit; a white V-neck shirt, black zip-up hoodie, blue skinny jeans and Converse.

On my way out, I grab my messenger bag that I sling over my shoulder and rush to Altair.

"Okay, ready to go?" I say, dangling my truck keys.

"Lady Abbey, I think it would be much faster if we flew." He says, nervously.

I groan. "Fine..."

With that, Altair takes me by the hand, and we fly out from my balcony and towards the mansion at a rapid speed.

Arriving at the front doors to the mansion, Altair let's me go once my feet touch the ground.

"I hate flying..." I murmur as I comb my fingers through my wind-knotted hair. "By the way, isn't there something about a magic teleporting door that can take me to the mansion from my apartment?" I ask Altair.

"Come on." Altair ignores my question as he rushes inside the mansion, not waiting for me to catch up.

I tie my hair back into a ponytail and chase after Altair. "O-okay, wait up!"

I chase after Altair into the direction of where I thought he went as I had already lost sight of but could only guess he ran towards the living room. I open the doors and see Altair standing nervously, not making eye contact.

I look around the room to see none of the gods. "Altair?" I firmly call him.

Without saying a word Altair slowly turns to look over his shoulder to the coffee table in the center of the room.

I raise an eyebrow as I walk over to him and follow his line of sight.

"Oh my god!" I gasp, taking a step back as I see the sight before my eyes.

There, on the coffee table, are the six gods; Leon, Scorpio, Teorus, Dui, Huedhaut and Ichthys. Each one, no bigger than the size of the palm of my hand.

"Hey, goldfish, don't be rude when in front of an almighty powerful god." Leon notices my reaction, and in his little body and pitched voice still acts intimidating.

"Abbey! You're here!" Teorus jumps up in excitement.

"Hey, Abbey! Look at us!" Ichthys joins Teorus in the excitement.

I slowly look at Altair, who is looking at me worriedly, and I turn back to the little gods.

"Tch." Scorpio clicks his tongue and kicks the ground in irritation.

Dui sends me a friendly wave. "Hi, Abbey."

Huedhaut, steps forward. "Abbey..."

Taking in the situation before my eyes, I can feel tears swell along my eyelids. My hand covers my mouth but it's no use when I burst out laughing.

"Oh... my god! Look at you guys!" I wheeze, as I continue to laugh. "My stomach...it hurts...oh."

"Stupid woman! How dare you laugh at us!" Scorpio yells.

I laugh even harder when hearing his adorable pitched voice. "You are not even the least bit intimidating, Scorpio. I mean..." I take my index finger and pat the top of his head. "Look at you, even your glare is cute!"

With his cheeks puffed out and showing a faint pink shade, he irritated, brushes my finger away, murmuring under his breath.

"You will pay for your disrespect, goldfish." Leon lifts his hand and snaps his fingers.

I muffle a laugh and look around, noticing nothing happening. "Huh...well how about that." I mockingly say, leaning my face closer to Leon, smiling cheekily. "Looks like nothing happened."

Leon grumbles.

I wipe the tears from my eyes as I finally calm my laughing fit. "W-what even happened to you guys?!"

Huedhaut waves his hands to get my attention. "Abbey, please, clam down and listen...this is—"

"Pfft, you're all tiny...yeah, I can see that much." I beat Huedhaut to the punch, as I speak. "But why call me here?" I ask Altair.

"I didn't know what to do, I panicked." Altair says, looking at the little gods.

"Oh...well...not sure if I can do anything about this." I say, picking up the gods into my hands.

"Hey watch it." Leon huffs.

"Oh no..." Altair worriedly sighs.

"It's okay, Altair." I reassure him. "Is there someone in the heavens that can fix this?"

Altair smiles. "Y-yes! I'll report this to Lord Zyglavis right away!"

I nod. "Good idea."

"B-but can you watch them when I'm gone. I'm not sure what will happen if they don't have someone to look after them." Altair asks me.

"M-me, really?" I'm taken aback by the request. "Well...I guess I could, seeing as you did bring me all the way here."

"Thank you, Lady Abbey!" Altair breathes with ease.

"It's the least I could do." I shrug then direct my attention to the gods, as a sudden thought pops into my head. "You guys do so much for me, think of this as me making it up to you." I say almost evilly.

When I mean 'do so much for me' I mean tease me, poke fun, prank me, and toy with me...

I feel giddy as I hold the adorable gods in my hands, feeling a bit overjoyed at the current situation they put themselves in.

"Yay! I stay with Abbey!" Ichthys cheers.

"Okay, please take care of them while I go to the heavens!" Altair says, bowing before heading out the door.

"Good luck." I say.

Once Altair is gone, I look at the gods who are laughing and fighting in my hands.

"Well..." I look around the mansion. "Why don't we head back to my place for the time being." I say, placing the gods into my messenger bag before they have the chance to protest.

Through the teleporting door, I step back into my apartment feeling relieved, then I feel my messenger bag shaking and I carefully take each god out from inside my bag, they complain and argue as I place them on my living room coffee table.

I giggle at the gods' new, adorable bodies.

I don't know how they got so small, but this seems like a good opportunity to have some payback for once.

"Careful woman! Don't be rough!" Scorpio says.

Leon angrily points his hand at me. "How dare you...forcing a god like me into a bag like this...are you mocking me."

"Pfft..." I bit my bottom lip to stifle a laugh. "you're intimidating ways won't work on me, Leon."

I sit cross-legged on my floor in front of the table, watching the gods.

I think I can get use to this.

There powers don't even work right, so they can't even fight back.

I giggle at my sadistic thoughts, when I take Scorpio into my palm and brush his hair with my fingernail.

He grumbles and avoids eye contact.

"Scorpio, you act like you're angry, but you're actually enjoying this, aren't you?" Huedhaut says.

Scorpio tries to smack my finger away, as his cheeks return to blush. "Are you crazy?! As if I would ever enjoy this!"

"Aw, you're so cute." I laugh.

Teorus jumps up. "Abbey! Pet me too!"

I place Scorpio down and place Teorus in my hands brush my finger against his cheek.

"Hey, Abbey! Put me on you're shoulder." Ichthys calls out.

My free hand lifts Ichthys as I place his on my shoulder.

I notice Dui staring off into the distance.

He sighs. "What am I going to do?"

"Aw, here Dui." I say, picking him up as well, and placing him in my palm.

I nuzzle my nose gently against this face and put him back down. Giggling when I see his embarrassed reaction.

Teorus clings to my finger as I continue to rub his little head.

"So, what happened? Did you guys somehow use your powers to shrink down to this size?" I ask, as I look at Ichthys when saying so.

"No, that's not what happened." Huedhaut answers.

"If that were the case, I would have punished you ages ago." Leon says with irritation in his tone.

"This wasn't our doing at all." Huedhaut says, sitting on the edge of the table with his feet dangling.

I raise an eyebrow. "Really?" And again, I direct my surprise at Ichthys.

"It's true!" Ichthys says.

"We can't work at all like this, so..." Huedhaut comes up with an idea and gets everyone's attention. "Everyone, what do you say to remaining with Abbey until we return to normal, and going on an educational outing to survey the Earth?"

Leon crosses his arms and shakes his head. "That idea doesn't agree with me at all..."

"Huh? You want to go outside?" I tilt my head, puzzled by the sudden request.

Huedhaut nods. "Yes, besides, staying inside would be a bit boring, don't you think?"

I scratch the back of my head, feeling uneasy about the idea. "Hmm...I don't know..."

"Like I said, it will be an educational tour that will allow us to study and understand earth." Huedhaut says to reassure me.

I sigh, giving into his adorable new size. "Okay fine, I'll show you around earth."

So, with that decided, the six miniature gods and set out to the city together.
