Shrinking Aqua Stories.

Author's note: This is just for the fun of it while I'm suffering yet another writer's block while nearly completing one of my other stories. I noticed how little there are of girls shrinking on FFN, and since I loved how Aqua shrunk in KH: BBS and how little that gameplay of her being small was(I mean, come on, just to aid Jaq from the unversed and no actual gameplay of her exploring the house in that size like in Ven's gameplay?), I decided to write several random one-shot stories on the idea of how many ideas Aqua could end up shrinking and staying small for either for a little while...

Or permantely. (Grins evilly).

Story 1: Shrinking Spell Gone Wrong.

It was such a fine day at the Land of Departure. Master Eraqus, and his pupils, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus lived out happily in this world, as the young Keyblade wielders trained to become Keyblade Masters, while Eraqus kept on eye on any dangers(and also to make sure his apprentinces behaved themselves, which they did), and hoped that nothing would go wrong in the Realm of Light.

Too bad today wouldn't be said in this world.

Ventus, or Ven as his friends Aqua and Terra had called him, was practicing magic spells he knew he needed to master along with his combat skills. The latter skill approved, but as Aqua told him earlier, he also needed to approve his magic to help him in the future if he runs into trouble that combat alone wouldn't solve. He took this to heart and had now been practicing in his room on spells in the book he burrowed from the Castle's library...okay so he took it without anyone else noticing, but he needed to practice.

"Heal!" Ven chanted as he casted the spell he looked up in the book, and held his Keyblade in the air. Green flowers appeared and healed the dying plant he found in the gardens that he was going to try and save with water later, but when he saw this happen, he smiled.

"Oh! Well," Ven shrugged, "No harm done, I suppose."

Ven already worked on fire and lightning which he did yesterday in the training grounds, along with Gravity, ice, ect. Now he was working on spells that seemed little harm but decided that it could help in the future as well.


Meanwhile, Aqua was walking through the castle's halls with a book on fairytales in hand, humming to herself. She had always been fasinated in stories and despite becoming a matured young woman for her age, she still liked to read in her spare time. Terra was outside training, and Master Eraqus was probably in the throne room still checking on the outside worlds with some help.

Just then, she heard a familiar voice just a few feet from one of the bedrooms, and Aqua paused in her steps. The door was open, which wasn't unusual.

"Is that Ven?" Aqua thought to herself. "I wonder what he's doing? I hope he's not causing any trouble."

Deciding to check on her friend who normally was behaved, Aqua continued walking towards her friend's room.


Inside the bedroom, Ven was just looking at another spell in the book, and this one confused him a bit. It read, "Smallaga: A spell that shrinks anything and anyone. Warning-Spell must be used carefully and only at careful arm and concentration without anyone speaking. It will last for either a few hours, one whole day or permantely via the caster's choice. If you accidenlty wish for permantely, please read up "Normalaga to reverse the spell"."

The boy found himself curious that if the spell actually works or not. He didn't want to test it on anyone. He then gazed at the plant, and decided, what's a single day for it to be small? Plus, it was just a plant, and no one else was going to talk to him.

So, you can understand where this is about to go.

Just as Ven aimed his Keyblade at the plant, and just as he chanted, "Smallaga-For one whole da-"

"Ven? What are you doing?" Aqua spoke just as she entered the doorway, which unfortunately she arrived at the wrong time.

"-AY!?" Ven yelped as he turned around, briefly forgetting the spell he was casting, and unfortunately he accidently brought his Keyblade with him and since he completed the chanting, the spell shoot out from the weapon and zoomed towards Aqua who saw this too late and could only cry out in alarm as the spell's light hit her in the chest, before she is forced to drop the book which landed on the floor and shield her eyes as she is covered in light. Ven was forced to shield his eyes as well, while Aqua's light-covered body suddenly began to become shorter and shorter, or should I say, smaller and smaller until it stopped, and the light faded, returning Aqua to normal.

Or, as normal as her appearence was.

Ven unshielded his eyes, before gasping as at first he couldn't see his friend. She just disappeared.

"Aqua? Where are you?" Ven called out, until he looked down to the floor in half-thougth that he made his friend disappear. But when he did, he gasped again and all thoughts of his friend having vanished was thrown right out of the window. "Aqua?" he asked again.

Aqua, realising that she was okay, unshielded her eyes, blinking to rid the spots that briefly covering her vision. "W-What happened?" She asked. But as she looked around, she gasped in shock, looking around in disbelief. The door way, the halls, even Ven's room, and the book she dropped onto the floor. It was all huge! But then when she looked up in front of her, and saw the shockingly now giant and stunned Ven who gazed down at her, the real shock kicked in.

"I've...I've...I've been shrank!" Aqua screamed. Thankfully, her voice was still the same as when she was normal size. But other than that, now she was no taller than 2/3 inches tall in the height of a mouse. She then realised how this happened and now glared angrily at her friend who caused her to shrink, "VEN! You used a shrinking spell, didn't you!?"

Despite Aqua being no taller than the height of his extended finger or an extended finer-sized doll(maybe an inch taller or two inches shorter), she was still firm, and Ven shrinked back a little in fright and guilt. "I-I'm so sorry, Aqua!" He said. "I was practicing on approving my skills in magic, and, well, the shrinking one got me curious. I was aiming for the plant when you came in and the book said that no one should talk while someone's casting it, and well, I didn't hear you coming until you called me!"

"You burrowed the magic spells book from the Library, didn't you?" Aqua sighed, placing her balled up fists on her sides, still angry, even though she could see that her friend was very apologetic about what just happened. At Ven's confirmed nod, the young now shrunken woman sighed, before asking, "I know that spell, and it's very rare for anyone to use it unless you want to shrink giant enemies. So, which option did you wish for and how long will I be stuck like this?"

"I uh..." Ven scratched the back of his head sheepishly, before reluctantely replied, "I chanted the spell to last for at least the entire day."

"AN ENTIRE DAY!?" Aqua screamed, horrified. It was bad enough that she had shrunk, and she could've handled at least a few hours. But for an entire day being this small for it to wear off? This was going to be a nightmare! How could she or Ven explain this to Eraqus and Terra if they found out what happened?

"A-At least it's not permantely!" Ven pointed out, shaking his hands. "I just wanted to test it out!" Before sighing. "I should've asked for a few hours instead." before asking, "But uh, do you think the Normallaga spell could reverse it?" remembering that it'll reverse the spell if it was permanent.

Aqua shook her head in dismay, replying, "No, it can only work for the permament option. At least that's what I've been taught early in my first training days." Just great. She would have to cope for one whole day of being no taller than, if she calculated right, Ven's extended finger. "Great! What are we going to tell the Master and Terra?" she groaned. Even worse. How was she going to face them in her current height? She can't hide, that would only raise an alarm and cause the two men to think she went missing and Aqua didn't want that to happen.

Ven sighed. It was his fault that he had shrank one of his best friends to this current size for 24 hours and the only way for Aqua to return to normal is for her to wait until tomorrow. Even worse, they'd have to face Master Eraqus and Terra, not to mention explain to them about the accident. Ven was never going to forgive himself about this for the rest of his life. In fact, his thoughts were similiar to Aqua's and he knew that hiding her would only cause the other two to think she went missing and then she'd be in trouble for something that was mainly his fault and not hers.

Which meant that there was only option in this crisis and take the full blame and wait for this to return to normal the next day; Tell them the truth.

"I guess we'll just have to face them. Plus, it's my fault, and I'm sorry." Ven concluded.

As much as she didn't like it, Aqua knew that Ven was right. Plus, she couldn't exactly be angry with him forever. It was an accident, one that he would have to learn to never repeat in the near future. "You're right. I guess we'll go and find the Master and tell him what happened." Aqua sighed.

"Yeah, let's go." Ven replied as he approached Aqua, which, as he walked, his footsteps felt more like a tremor to her, and she fell to the ground since the quakes were too much for her. Aqua landed on her bottom, and had to actually catch her breath once Ven stood towering over her, his shadow nearly engulfing her like darkness.

When Aqua looked up to face her friend again, she gasped in fright as Ven reached out his giant hand which was looming over her. "Ven!?" She shrieked, terrified as she realised that he was about to scoop her up and grasp her like a giant in those giant stories in her fairytale books.

She found herself frozen, her body disobeying and not willing to allow her to get up and make a run for it, or even summon her Keyblade(which she would never do to her friends unless in training). Ven didn't stop what he was doing and as Aqua screamed while shielding her face with her left arm, his hand engulfed her between his palm and his fingers, picking her up as he stood up straight, holding her in his closed up left hand.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay." Ven told his shrunken friend gently, as he opened his fingers a little to give the tiny woman a bit more room, before covering his closed up hand with his right one, further making her stuck in now both of his closed up palms.

"Ven! Let me go!" Aqua cried from inside his hands, but by now her voice was muffled from the outside so he couldn't hear her, and all she could do was try and push his hands that kept her trapped in order to free herself, but in her current height, he was too strong. It was like being locked up in a cage.

Bracing himself, and, finding himself feeling giddy in holding his tiny friend in his hand. Not to mention that the very feeling and idea of holding Aqua in the palms of his hands was actually kind of fun...from his point of view anyway. He was certain that it wasn't fun from her point of view. In fact, in Aqua's point of view, she was probably very uncomfortable.

He still felt bad for her, though. Ven braced hismelf for whatever punishment he'd be rechieving from Master Eraqus. Speaking of which, Ven, with Aqua within his hands(which she's still trying to free herself from), arrived in the throne room and found Master Eraqus just stepping away from the pink crystal that was on the wall behind the three thrones when he noticed his youngest pupil approach, and from what the older man could see, the teenager looked like he did something wrong and was feeling very guilty.

"Ventus? What happened?" Eraqus questioned, just as Terra came inside and from the staircase as he then stood on Ven's left. Well, at least that would save Ven and Aqua from having to find their other best friend.

"Hey, Ven. What's in your hand?" Terra asked, curious.

"Well...uh..." Ven began, trying to find the right words on how to explain the situation. This was harder than he thought. "I was...I was practicing on approving on my magic, and...I-I found a shrinking spell in the book that I burrowed."

"Don't tell me..." Eraqus groaned, half-knowing what happened. "You shrank something that you were not meant to, didn't you?"

"Even worse; I shrank someone." Ven corrected.

Both men froze. When Ven meant someone, there was only one other person that lived here with all three of them. To further prove the point, Ven slowly opened up his hands, lowering his right hand to his side, while now holding Aqua who breathed a sigh of relief as she sat on the palm of his left hand. But when she looked up, she cringed at the shocked and horrified expressions on both Terra and Eraqus who were both speechless at the young woman's current small size. It was too terrifying for her to have those she lived with towering over her like she just entered a giant's castle.

"Oh man...Aqua!" Terra gapped. It was awkward to be seeing his friend this small, though he suddenly felt his mouth curl up, the sudden urge to laugh began to grow, but he did his best to hold it in.

He wasn't used to seeing Aqua this small, especially since she was the height of Ven's extended finger, which was two inches shorter than his own extended finger.

"Dare I ask why you chose her to shrink?" Eraqus sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation. He knew something like this would happen with Ven sooner than later. On the other hand, he hated to admit it, but wasn't as bad as the time when Terra had accidently put him to sleep for two days, or when Aqua had accidently set a bush in the training grounds on fire on their early training days. As long as he knew how long Aqua was stuck being this small.

"I didn't chose her to shrink, honest!" Ven protested, "I was aiming for the plant in my room, and well..."

"I came to his room at the wrong time and spoke when I should've have." Aqua decided to take pity for her friend and added. "So in a way, I'm half to blame for what Ven did to me."

"And how long will this last?" Eraqus questioned. If it was permament, then it's going to be a headache to find the normallage spell to reverse it and return Aqua back to her normal size.

Ven sighed, and mumbled, "For a day."

24 hours of Aqua being stuck in the size of a tiny doll? How wonderful...if you can understand sarcasm.

"I'm really sorry, Master." Ven apologuised. Aqua gazed up at her blonde-haired friend, still sitting on his palm while having at least made herself a bit more comfortable. Not that she was comfortable at her current size at the moment.

Finally, the Keyblade Master sighed and decided that this wasn't really such a terrible thing to happen. Just inconvinent. "It's alright, Ventus. However, you are not to train with magic for the next few days. Then, after that, once Aqua returns to her normal size, she will teach you the arts of magic until you can learn how to master them yourself. That is all."

"Yes, master." Ven nodded. The punishment wasn't so bad, but he still felt guilty for his actions.

"In the meantime, keep Aqua indoors until she returns to normal." Eraqus added, "We cannot have birds scoop her up for breakfest." he couldn't help but tease a little.

"Master!" Ven and Aqua both gasped, unable to believe the joke, while Terra snickered and was starting to lose his battle in not to laugh.

"In the meantime, be gentle with her, both of you, Ventus and Terra." Eraqus continued, unable to help but now see the funny side of it. "My apologies, Aqua. But I cannot help but see you as adorable. You look just like a toy to play with."

Aqua was annoyed by this and pouted, "It's not funny, Master."

Eraqus chuckled half-heartedly, before saying to his pupils, "Well then, if either of you need me, I will be in my quarters. You will all take today off from training." before leaving the throne room and left the three Keyblade wielders behind.

Once Eraqus was out of sight and out of earsdrop, Terra couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Ven, this the funniest mistake of a beginner I've ever seen!"

"No it's not! Stop laughing!" Aqua yelled, crossing her arms in sheer annoyance. Great, now she was being laughed at due to her height, and being teased in looking like a small doll. She couldn't wait to return to normal tomorrow.

"Actually," Ven began, "Now that I think of it, I actually like Aqua being small. I can hold her in my hands and look at her like this for all the time I want." now that he thought of it, it was really fun to have his friend this tiny. If it wasn't the fact that Aqua disliked this and it was be a real bad thing, he could've tried this again and actually use the permament option to keep the tiny woman this way for as long as he loved-forever even. Or at least until he decided he'd want her back to her normal size.

Aqua by now growled, "Well, don't think you can do this to me again! I am not going to be this small ever again for the rest of my life!" wishing that her friends would just quit in enjoying in having her being this tiny.

"Well," Terra began, cheekily with a fake evil grin, "Since this won't happen again," looking at Ven, and asked, "Can I hold her for a little bit?"

Ven thought about it, while Aqua's eyes widened in horror, the latter having a good idea what Terra meant in 'hold her' in his tone. She hoped Ven would say no, but to her dismay, he cheekily grinned as well, and held her out to him, saying, "I want to hold her again before bedtime."

"D-don't you dare!" Aqua stuttered, attempting to crawl away until she realised that if she fell, it wouldn't be good. Besides, by then it was already too late, as Terra chuckled evilly, before reaching out with his right hand that now loomed over her. "T-Terra! Terra, no!" Aqua screamed.

Terra grasped the helpless tiny woman in his grasp, his fingers caging her lower body and leaving only her upper-half free. He made his grip on his shrunken friend tight so that she couldn't escape, but not too tight for her to be squeezed, though though he squeezed her a bit, bringing her just three inches away from his face. Aqua tried to pull herself free from her giant friend's grasp, but Terra was too strong for her.

"Ah, relax, Aqua." Terra laughed. "This is only for today. It's not like we're gonna keep you like this forever. We're just gonna have fun until then."

"Hey, we can put her in a bird cage for a little bit!" Ven jokingly suggested, "Or even in a toy chest. She can wander around in my room on my shelves!" laughing.

"Or pretend that we're giants and pretend that we eat her?" Terra joked, grinning at so many ideas on how to have fun with their tiny best friend.

Aqua reanewed her attempts to pull herself from Terra's grasp, crying out with a threat, "This isn't funny, guys! I swear if either one of you end up being shrank like me, I'll dress you up in doll clothes from my old toys! Put me down right now!" not believing that either of friends were actually joking. She was terrified at the thought of being trapped like this, then trapped in a bird cage, surrounded by Ven's stuff, and the most terrible part...her friends pretending to be giants and pretend to eat her. What if they accidently eat her for real? What if she ends up swallowed and trapped inside a stomach which would digest her?

Being inside giant hands is scary enough, but to be inside a giant mouth...Aqua would never survive that! Being inside a stomach was even worse!

"I'm kidding, Aqua!" Terra replied, sensing more than seeing the fear from the woman in his grasp. "We're definately not doing what I suggested! One of us might accidently gobble you up and then accidently swallow you."

"Okay, now that's not funny, Terra." Ven cringed. Apparently he didn't find the idea of eating Aqua appealling either while pretending.

"Yeah, now that you mention it, I regret thinking that up." Terra finally agreed now that he thought about it more carefully. "I guess I read the BFG story too many times." careful in not mentioning the part where the girl character is gobbled up inside a giant's mouth before being spat back out.

Aqua sighed in relief.

But then Terra grinned again, saying, "But Ven's ideas and your idea of the doll-house sound like good ideas, though."

"So...I guess that means we have our ideas on how to play with her for today?" Ven asked, smiling now.

Now Aqua froze again, horrified. She knew at least one of their ideas was going to happen, which reanewed her attempts to try and pull herself free from Terra's hand, and she was just starting to feel herself being slowly squeezing out, but then he tightened his grip on her, causing her to cry out and lose her grip, before trying her best to righten herself up.

"Not so fast." Terra chuckled. "How else can we have fun with you? Face it, Aqua. You're not getting out of it."

"But we'll be gentle. Promise." Ven added, looming over his tiny friend as he stood next to his other friend.

"But we might still have other ideas before the day goes out." Terra continued, grinning cheekily.

"Oh, you-you two are such children!" Aqua scowled. "Maybe I should shrink the both of you tomorrow and see how you two like it!" she threatened glaring at them. She considered the idea to get her revenge on her friends who were now acting as though she really was a toy for them to play with-a living doll.

Ven giggled, "Sorry, Aqua. We just can't help ourselves. You're very cute being this tiny. I find myself wishing you could stay like this forever."

"Like I said-Not happening." Aqua repeated her earlier statement.

Terra shrugged, "Well, let's go get things ready and see if we can find the stuff before bed." before he and Ven began to walk to begin their search...for a bird cage and Aqua's old toys to have fun in the new game they invented. He still grasped Aqua in his hand while holding her in front of him as he walked with Ven.

She noticed this and tried to squirm herself free while her friend carried her in his grasp like this, before she deadpanned, "You could at least not grasp me like this while you're walking, Terra."

"Sorry, but the fun starts now." Terra grinned. "I really like holding you like this, you know. I used to have dreams of holding you in my hands after reading the BFG story." as he gazed at his tiny friend who sighed. To think that those dreams actually came true and more fun than he actually thought.

Ven sighed, still a bit guilty for having shrank Aqua, but at the same time, he couldn't help himself but have the time of his life having her like this. Though he had to admit, he wouldn't want to shrink her again to upset her, but the idea of having her small was really fun.

Maybe he could find a way to make them both happy.


It took the two boys half an hour to locate a bird-cage which was used for injured birds they and Aqua might find to restore back to full health, but eventually, the trio found it, and returned to Ven's room to begin their several hour game. Ven placed the cage onto his desk, before opening the small gate, and just to add in on the fun, placed a small bowl of raisins and small cup of water inside it, smiling. He then moved away slightly as Terra approached it, before grinning at the nervous Aqua who fidgeted in his grasp again. She was not looking forward to this.

"Here you go, little blue-bird." Terra teased. "Your new temporely home."

"You guys are actually serious." Aqua groaned. She braced herself as Terra extended his arm into the cage, before finally he gently puts her down onto the cage's floor where she sat, releasing her from his grasp. While Aqua was relieved to finally be free from her friends' giant hands after a good hour, she groaned again as Terra withdrew his hand from the cage, before closing the gate, and then locked it with a padlock, trapping her inside the birdcage.

Just then, she gasped in fright and surprise as Terra grabbed hold of the handle on top of the cage, picking it up with Aqua inside, and then he carefully carried it to one corner of Ven's room. Ven by the time replaced his ceiling ornament from the hook on the ceiling, laughing teasingly as Terra then hanged the cage onto the hook carefully before letting go. The cage wobbled a bit due to now being hanged by the ceiling, in which Aqua nearly went sliding in her temporely prison before it settled down.

"Guys! What are you doing!?" Aqua shouted as she stood up and carefully ran towards the cage bars, gripping two of them as she glared down at her friends who laughed and then high-fived like small children. Being stuck in a birdcage was bad enough, but to be trapped inside it while it hanged from Ven's ceiling? Were they planning to use the shrinking spell to actually keep her small permantely!?

Both boys pretended to ignore her and Terra teasingly cooed, "Aww! Look at the tiny blue bird, Ven. Isn't she beautiful?"

"I bet she likes it up there." Ven teased in return. "It'll give her up to get used to being high so when she recovers she can fly again." before he and Terra bursted into laughter. He calmed down a little and finally replied to Aqua, "Can't help ourselves, Aqua. Like we told you before, you are cute being that small!"

"Don't worry," Terra assured, "You're not going to be in there for long. Just until we want to move on to the next part of our game."

"What game?" Aqua questioned, annoyed before sighing, and asked sarcastically, "The 'Let's play with tiny Aqua' game?" though that was pretty much was their game actually was, now that she thought about it. Her glare cooled off and she groaned again. She glanced at the clock on Ven's window sil and mentally groaned in dismay that it was only 11:30AM in the late morning. Ven must've shrank her around 10:30AM, which meant that she had been this small for only an hour.

Just one hour and already Aqua wanted to return to her normal size. The only good thing about today was that Master Eraqus decided to give them a day off due to what happened. The bad thing was that she had another several hours before the spell wears off. A grand total of 23 hours of being trapped in this size. Even worse, she wasn't getting out of this cage until Ven and Terra got bored in having her hanging in the birdcage, which she hoped wouldn't be long, but by the expressions on their faces, told her that she was gonna be imprisoned like this for a while.

"Hey, I'm feeling hungry." Terra spoke up.

"Yeah, me too." Ven agreed after feeling his stomach rumble that demanded for food.

"Let's go get something to eat." Terra suggested, moving to leave the room, with Ven right behind him.

"Hey! Are you two just leaving me here?" Aqua cried out, her eyes widening. She couldn't believe they were actually leaving her trapped in the birdcage that was hanging from the ceiling!

"Don't worry, we're coming back." Terra promised.

"Oh, before I forget." Ven then went back to his desk and opened up the top drawer, looking for something until he found what he was looking for and grinned. He pulled out a camera, which made Aqua groan in dismay. "Hey, Terra! Could you go stand next to the birdcage with Aqua in it?" he called.

"Can I take a photo of you next to her too afterwards?" Terra questioned.

'I really wish the normalaga spell would reverse the whole day option too.' Aqua thought miserably to herself, as Terra moved to stand next to the cage and he softly chuckled as he gazed up at her shrunken appearence locked up like a small bird.

"Smile!" Ven told his friends, taking a picture, and a photo from his camera slid out. He took it out and grinned with a smiling Terra standing next to the dismayed tiny Aqua locked inside the birdcage. "We'll be having so many photos of Aqua being small before the end of the day!" he said happily.

"This is going to be a long day." Aqua said to herself, sinking to her knees and letting go of the bars, knowing that she was trapped in here until her friends release her. She forced herself to stand when Terra told her to since she had to have her photo taken again, this time when a grinning Ven who stood on a chair next to the cage and placed an arm on top of it, gripping it, which was much too close to Aqua's liking.

After that, Terra then said, "Okay, let's go get some food. I'm starving."

"'Kay!" Ven replied, before climbing down from the chair, and waved at Aqua, saying, "We'll be back." before following Terra out the door and down the hall, leaving her in the birdcage for who knows how long. In defeat, she slumped to the cage's floor and turned around to lean her back against the bars, staring at the ceiling which she was also staring at the bar-ceiling in her temporarly prison.

Aqua then drew her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, feeling like this will be more than just one day of being small. She couldn't blame her friends for being unable to resist in wanting to torment her in her current size, and it would've been fun if she had the magic to shrink and unshrunk at will, or at least had the power to unshrink herself when someone else had accidently shrank her, then it wouldn't have been so bad. But being trapped at this size for 24 hours and being played with like she was a doll, especially with the way her friends had grasped her in their giant hands was terrifying, or when they had decided to pretend she was a bird and locked her up in a birdcage like this, then hanging it onto a ceiling.

That was just the beginning of it. They still planned on having her on Ven's shelf with all of his items, and then having Aqua in one of her old toy doll houses she kept since she was a child, and who knows what else they had in mind.


She didn't remember falling asleep in the cage, but when Aqua woke up, she was awoken by the sound of tapping against the cage metal bars. When she looked up, she nearly screamed out in fright until she remembered that Ven had accidently shrank her and she sighed. Terra had been tapping the cage with a grin, and to her surprise, he was holding the cage again. He must've taken it from the ceiling, because Ven was now replacing his onument back ont othe hook.

"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty!" Terra teased, as he carried the cage with the tiny Aqua still locked inside it, before placing it back onto Ven's desk. "Sorry that we took longer than we intended."

"I don't even remember falling asleep, to be honest." Aqua shrugged, sheepishly.

"Yeah, well, we sorta went into your room and it took us a while to find your doll house..." Ven grinned as he gestured at what was now on his bed, which as Aqua looked, she saw her old blue toy doll house which would fit her current size, along with some doll clothes. To her confusion, though, was another toy she didn't recongise-it looked like a toy dinosaur that was the size of Ven's arm. An action figure that it's mouth can open and close. Suddenly she had a bad feeling about this.

"But when we did, I thought of another idea to fill out the day." Terra continued for the teen. "Since it would be a bad idea for one of us to put you in our mouths, I remembered my old Godzilla figurine and decided that since the stomach part can open up after something is placed into it's mouth that can be swallowed, we've decided to pretend it's a T-Rex and let my toy eat you."

Aqua groaned at this and placed her face into her hands, shaking her head as she mumbled, "I don't believe this!" Great, just great! Despite that she was thankful that she wasn't going to be gobbled up in either of her friends' mouths, she wasn't looking forward in the game of the action figure pretending to eat her.

"But first things first-an adventure on my shelf!" Ven gleed as he unlocked the birdcage's door before opening it, and reached out to his tiny friend, and much to Aqua's dismay, she was once again scooped up and to add to everything else, Ven decided to mimick Terra's earlier treatment towards her and grasped her with his fingers wrapped around the lower part of her body. "You know, since this morning while I first carried you, I've always wanted to hold you like this, Aqua. You feel very nice in just one touch on your entire body."

The blue-haired woman, not liking the feeling of this again, tried to pull herself free from her friend's giant grasp, but both Ven and Terra were much too strong for Aqua in her current size. Oh yes, she was definately going to shrink both of them once she returns to her normal size tomorrow. Aqua sighed while Ven carried her to his shelf where his things like the strange mask and such sat, before he said with a grin, "Here you go, Aqua! Enjoy exploring the new world." as he gently sets her down onto the shelf and releasing her, before withdrawing his hand away.

Aqua gazed up at her giant friends who stood there, grinning. Sighing, Aqua walked on the shelf, getting closer looks at the things she would normally hold in her hands. But since she was the size of Ven's extended finger, she could only touch them in wonder, and she had to admit, it was fasinating to go behind the mask, behind the light-post, even the toy shark with it's mouth opened she never questioned about. It looked moveable, but she never had the curiosity in finding out what it actually does.

The young tiny woman found herself curious. She thought that she should be okay in venturing inside the mouth of a toy shark, believing that it wouldn't gobble her up like either Terra's Godzilla action figure or either of her friends would've. 'I guess it wouldn't hurt.' Aqua thought, not realising that Ven and Terra were trying to hold in their laughter behind her.

But Aqua failed to realise, when she attempted to step inside, she accidently tripped on one of the fake plastic bottom teeth of the toy shark which was 7 times bigger than her, and the tooth bent back by her force, and instantly, the toy's mouth slammed shut, with it's un-noticable speaker from it's battery making a fizzled, "Gulp!" seconds later. Ven and Terra both laughed before the former picked up his closed-mouthed toy shark with Aqua inside it, petting it along with Terra.

When Aqua recovered, she gasped when she found herself in the dark inside the toy shark's mouth which had closed, having trapped her inside and she quickly realised what the toy actually does and screamed out, "Ven! Terra! You planned on having be eaten by toys twice today!?"

"At least we're not the ones gulping you inside our mouths!" Terra pointed out while laughing.

"Sorry, Aqua. I only just remembered about what my shark can do when Terra mentioned his godzilla toy." Ven giggled as he held his toy shark in both of his hands, grinning at the face of the toy that had just gobbled up his shrunken friend. He decided to have more fun and opened and closed the shark's mouth several times as Aqua just sat on the plastic tongue, and he made fake, "Num! Num! Num! Num!" noises repeatedly as though it was the shark chewing her up.

Aqua shivered, trying to rid the images of being inside a real giant mouth, before her friends decided to take pity of her, and Ven opened up the toy's mouth and kept it open, before he placed the toy onto his bed, which allowed her to stand up and run out before it could eat her again. She stood on the surprisingly very soft blanket and mattress of the bed, while Ven puts the toy back onto the shelf, before he rejoined Terra and the two boys loomed over their tiny friend once more.

"I think I'd rather wait before going to Godzilla again, and just play dress up inside my dollhouse." Aqua spoke, turning to gaze at her now giant doll house, only for Terra to suddenly pick her up, this time having her sit on his palm much to her surprise as she had been caught off-guard again, and had raised her to chest level.

"Sorry Aqua, but Godzilla comes first." Terra teased, grinning along with Ven, while Aqua moaned at this. He then carried her to the lizard-figurine, opening it's mouth with a switch on the back of it's head, and said, "T-Rex chow time!" jokingly.

"Aqua-flavoured ice cream!" Ven jokingly added.

"Wait-Aah!" Aqua screamed as she was shoved right into the toy's mouth, before Terra slammed it shut. He then tilted the figurine's head back, pushing a button on it's throat, in which inside the mouth, Aqua was tipped and slid right into the fake throat as she screamed and slid right into the toy's dark plastic belly in the darkness, while the throat then closed and Terra positioned the head back to staring ahead.

Ven had then closed his bedroom door, snickering cheekily, before saying to Terra in a half-whisper, "This should keep the Master from hearing us."

"Good idea, Ven!" Terra praised as his friend returned to his side, both of then kneeling, and he held the toy's back with his hand, grinning, "And the dinosaur has ate a young woman."

"Just like in a horror movie." Ven added, giggling as Terra moved the toy slowly forward and tilting it slightly from side to side as though it was moving on it's own, with Aqua trapped inside the toy's stomach, and he made soft but deep growling noises to mimick the godzilla toy.

Inside the plastic stomach, Aqua shifted from side to side as she realised one of her friends was moving the action figure. She sighed again. Ven and Terra really are such children if they could do something childish like this, especially when she herself was now tiny-toy sized. Eventually, it stopped, and Terra pushed a button on the toy's side, and the plastic belly opened up. Aqua flinched as the light nearly blinded her, before she knew it, Terra gasped her in his hand once more, taking her out of the toy and had her lying on the palm of his left hand as he and Ven gazed at her.

"Having fun being this small, Aqua?" Terra teased.

"Not really." Aqua replied.

"Yeah, I guess we went too far." Ven thought, and Terra nodded in agreement. Both had to admit that they were feeling bad now for having taken things too far with their friend, and both of them shrugged apologetically while mumbling, "Sorry."

The young shrunken woman sighed, before smiling and shrugged in return, saying, "It's okay. I guess I'm scared. I just can't wait to return to my normal size."

"Fair enough." Terra thought. "I guess we're just treating today as though it was Halloween or something."

"But see you like this is just so much fun, we can't help ourselves." Ven added. "Sorry that I messed up the shrinking spell, Aqua."

Aqua giggled, "Well, I have to admit, when I first tried the shrinking spell, I shrank a tree by accident and since then, I sort of wondered what it would be like being small, but at the same time, I told myself that it was just going to be a scary experience. Turns out I was right."

"Well, I guess you'd better brace yourself, because the fun's not over yet." Terra chuckled, before he reached out and once again grasped Aqua(who was once again caught off-guard) by her lower-half of her body with his left hand, his fingers wrapped tightly around her and he brought her just inches from his face. "Scary?"

"Very scary!" Aqua replied, shivering. How many times must she be held in her friends' giant hands like this?

"We could make a horror movie out of this." Ven laughed, "Now where did I put that video camera?" as he looked around his room.

Despite feeling scared, Aqua couldn't help but come up with a slight idea of her own, and suggested, "We could use my doll house and all of my dolls if you guys want to make a horror movie." actually starting to think that this was sort of fun...as long as it wasn't taken too far again.

The boys thought it was a great idea. So, after Ven found his video camera, he then picked up Aqua's doll house and carried both out of his room, with Terra, still holding Aqua in his grasp, followed towards Aqua's room where her other toys were held in the closest.

Maybe this wasn't so bad after all.


For the rest of the day, they played with Aqua's things, made a short movie with Ven's video camera, continuously holding the shrunken girl in their hands, had her sit on their shoulders, or on the palm of their hands, until it was time for dinner, though Eraqus understood that the three friends decided to have breakfest cereal and eat in Terra's bedroom since he had a large desk. Terra actually used the shrinking spell to shrink Aqua's favorite cereal, bowl and spoon to her current size so that she could have something to eat as well.

Once Aqua was finished, she stood up and placed her dishes onto the desk which would return to normal size in a few hours, while she still had to wait until tomorrow morning to return to her normal size. Terra had put his spoon onto the desk while teasing Ven about the younger boy's eating habits, causing the two to bicker while laughing.

"Hey, Terra-Whoa!" Aqua began as she began to approach to get closer, only to not look where she was going and tripped onto the spoon, landing into the scoop part of it. As she recovered, however, Terra, still gazing at Ven and not seeing that Aqua was now in his spoon, picked it up and lifted it towards the bowl where she slipped off in alarm and she landed into the bowl of milk and ceral with a sploosh.

Aqua quickly resurfaced, coughing and spluttering, only for her and some of the cerel to be scooped up back into the spoon, and to her horror, the still unaware Terra drew the spoon right towards his mouth and she screamed, "Terra!"

Thankfully Ven noticed and he cried out, "Terra, wait!" but it was already too late as he could only watch in horror as Terra, by the time he noticed Aqua's cry and Ven's warning, had shoved the spoon with the screaming Aqua and some of the ceral into his wide-opened gob and closed it shut, sliding the spoon out of his mouth with the absence of both the ceral and Aqua.

"Hm?" Terra blinked, confused at first at what Ven looked horrified about, until he noticed something odd about the part of the ceral he just put into his mouth, and unknowingly used his tongue to push and taste Aqua who, terrified out of her mind, was shoved and moved inside the giant mouth of her friend.

"You...you just ate Aqua." Ven muttered. "She's inside your mouth!"

The words kicked in hard, and as Terra looked at the table only to find the shrunken woman missing, the real horror smacked him hard the face as he realised the reason why the ceral tasted a bit fleshy, metal and material, and why as he stopped something inside his mouth was moving, as though it was alive. He had just gobbled up Aqua!

As soon as he realised this, Terra looked for something to save his friend, until he found a napkin and curled it up like a pillow in his hands, and immediately spat Aqua right out and she landed in the napkin and his hands. She coughed and panted, shivering and cringing at the thought of just how close she had become in being chewed into pieces and then swallowed up right into Terra's stomach.

"Aqua! I'm so sorry!" Terra gasped, still horrified at his near fatal mistake, cupping his shrunken friend ins his hands.

"Are you okay?" Ven asked, worriedly.

Aqua nodded shakingly. "Y-Yeah. I'm fine. It was my fault that I wasn't looking where I was going. I tripped and fell into the spoon while I should've just waited."

She was still shaken of the experience of being inside a real giant mouth, the feeling of the real mouth walls and the tongue tasting her. She was going to be having nightmares for a while.

"L-let's get you cleaned up and then to bed. I don't want a repeat of just now." Terra suggested, carefully carrying Aqua in his hands and to the bathroom. Ven followed, still shaken himself. Being nearly swallowed up while being small must've terrified Aqua so much, and that it was the worst thing that happened to her today.

Having Aqua this small was fun, yes, but both of them decided that it would never happen again if they could help it.


Once Aqua was bathed and her clothes cleaned and then dried since her doll clothes would be in shreds when she returns to her normal size, Terra carried her into her room and gently placed her onto her bed since it was nearing 10:00PM in the middle of the night.

"I'm really sorry, Aqua." Terra apologuised again.

"Me too." Ven added.

Aqua smiled, and shook her head to her friends, saying, "It's okay. We'll just have to make sure it doesn't happen again-you know, me being nearly eaten for real part." or shrinking down to size in the near future, unless one of them makes the same mistake like what happened to her today.

"Well, anyway...goodnight." Terra muttered, before turning and left.

"Night, Aqua." Ven waved gently, before leaving as well.

"Night, guys." Aqua called up. They closed the door behind them, leaving Aqua on her own. She sighed, before curling up on her side on her enourmous bed. She had to admit that today was somewhat fun, but the nearly being swallowed up part was absolutely terrifying. She just hoped she wasn't going to get nightmares about that experience.

Her thoughts drifted away as she instantly fell asleep five minutes later.


The shin shined so brightly in her face that Aqua moaned and unconsciously grabbed hold of her pillow from her bed and covered her face with it to block out the sunlight. But the instant she did, memories of her experience of being shrunk returned to her and she sat up in surprise, looking at her pillow...

It was normal sized, in her hands. The young woman looked around and found that everyone around her were not massive. She swinged her legs over her bed and her feet touched the floor. Her hands touched the matress and blanket of her bed. Aqua stood up and found that her desk was normal too, and the clock said 10:34AM in the morning.

This was enough to make her realise what happened. She returned to normal size!

"Oh thank goodness!" Aqua said with feeling, before giddly raced through the hallway, and nearly bumped into Terra and Ven who both arrived to check up on her. When the three of them recovered, the boys saw their friend back to normal size and they cheered happily.

"Aqua! You're back to normal!" Ven cried out happily.

"What a relief!" Terra agreed.

"I know, right?" Aqua replied, before she and her friends all formed in a group hug, laughing happily, while Eraqus noticed from around the corner and smiled, relieved that his female pupil was back to normal as well.


A week later, the three of them took a break from practicing, and sat on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the mountains in the distance.

It wasn't until Terra asked, "Hey, Aqua? What was it really like, to be shrunk?"

Aqua thought about the question, before answering, "Well, it was scary, but at the same time,..." shrugging as she admitted, "I guess I wouldn't mind on being that small again."

"Really?" Ven and Terra both asked, confused.

She then giggled and said, "But first I'm gonna shrink both of you at some point to let you see what it's really like before either of you decide to shrink me again!"

"Fair enough." Ven and Terra both replied, before they and Aqua laughed with smiles.

Maybe Aqua will end up shrinking again. But not any time soon.

The End.

A/N: Shrinking story one has ended, though there are others in this random-story to come, and maybe a mini sequel to this chapter might come to play, if either of you guys like this so far. It's entirely up to you. This one was longer than I expected, but hey, I was having fun with this chapter.
