"What on earth are you doing?" Macey asked looking at Liz, who was sat on the floor with a mass of bottles surrounding her. Liz shushed Macey and started mixing the different liquids in the different bottles.
Macey watched Liz work as the mixture changed from clear to bright pink. Realizing Liz wasn't going to be much company for the next few hours she started on some homework that was due in a few days. Normally in this situation she would have gone in search of Bex or Cammie but Cammie was busy with Zach and she would rather not be the third wheel there and Bex was of doing some P&E and she would rather not be beaten up on a Saturday.
Macey finished her homework in a record time, which was typical – when she had all day it was done in a matter of minutes but it was another story when she did it at midnight the night before. And now she had nothing to do. This is when she kind of hated being at Gallagher, simply because she didn't have any electrical item that could allow her to kill a few hours until her friends where back on planet earth.
She contemplated writing a letter to her parents she was that desperate for something to do. Mother's day was coming up after all but she couldn't be bothered and her mother didn't exactly love happy sentiments.
So she sat there and watched Liz. The mixture was now a murky shade of green, but it must have been the correct shade because Liz had a massive smile on her face. Macey thought it was best to try and talk now.
"Are you nearly finished? And what is that?" Macey didn't expect an answer, as Liz didn't even seem to acknowledge that she had been spoken to.
But she must have heard as she answered a few minutes later, "I just need a few more minutes, and it's a drink that will improve your health and make you feel years younger." Macey wondered why Liz or any of their friends would need or want to feel years younger when they were only 18 now, but she didn't say this out loud as Liz may have attacked.
"Can you pass me that?" Liz pointed over at two bottles that where too far from her for her to reach, Macey slowly got up from her bed and passed Liz one of the bottles, she took it without looking and poured a few drops in. The mixture turned bright orange for a second then turned clear. Liz seemed to miss the orange but when she turned back to the mixture and saw that it was clear she got up and did a little happy dance.
"I'm guessing you've finished?" Macey laughed a little at her antics. Liz nodded and poured the mixture into a glass jug.
"We've got to take it to Dr. Fibbs." Liz made her way towards the door slowly as the jug didn't have a lid, which seemed pretty dangerous since Liz wasn't exactly the most coordinated person in the whole world but Macey didn't comment as she was just glad to get out of the room.
It took them about 10 minutes to make it down the stairs; they were nearly at Dr. Fibbs office when they noticed Cammie, Bex and Zach coming the opposite way.
Macey sensed that something bad was going to happen since they hadn't had any accidents on the way down the stairs and to be honest it was just Cammie's luck that she would somehow be involved. Macey was shown to be correct when Liz tripped on air and the jug in her hand flew across the hallway. The tell-tale "Oppsie daisy" was shrieked by Liz and unfortunately Cammie had decided it would be a good idea at that moment to turn and talk to Zach who was stoop next to her.
The mixture stayed in the jug for about half of its trip on the air then it flew out of the jug, that didn't have a lid, and Cammie yet again showing her bad luck turned to face it just in time for the mixture to hit her full on in the face and the jug hit her in the head just to make things worse. She really did have the worst luck.
But Macey didn't really know how bad Cammie's luck was until they all were surrounding her and she seemed to be… shrinking.
"What is going on?" Zach asked in a confused shout. Nobody had an answer and the one person that might was still in shock at the other end of the corridor. Liz finally came out of her shock and ran to join them, "Is she okay?" Nobody had an answer yet again.
Cammie had stopped shrinking, it seemed impossible but she looked about five years old, she also had an angry bruise on the top of her head from the jug. Everyone looked at each other and then back at Cammie as if their eyes had deceived them and she would look normal again. But she still looked like a five year old.
Her clothes hadn't shrunk with her and were a baggy mess around her tiny frame. Her hair was a little past shoulder length, other than that her feature seemed the same just in miniature. She reminded Macey of the picture that she had seen on her first trip to Gallagher Academy, the one of Ms. Morgan and Cammie at Disney land. The little girl who lay unconscious on the floor looked just like the little Cammie from that picture.
Macey looked around her company and saw they all seemed just as confused and worried as she was. "We should check that she's okay? Like her pulse and everything." Bex said. Macey could see the slight movement that was caused by breathing so she believed Cammie was fine, if you could call shrinking down to the size of a five year old fine. But Zach still knelt down and placed two fingers to her neck checking for her pulse.
"105, that's normal for a little kid I think, they have fast pulses compared to us." Everyone nodded, though it was strange for them to see and think of their friend as a little kid.
They all stood there for a few more minutes waiting for Cammie to move or for her to turn back into her normal self, yet again she did not.
"Okay, what was in that jug?" Zach seemed to be trying to contain his anger but Macey thought he did a bad job at that. And Liz seemed to quiver in fear from the stare that Zach gave her, Macey knew he didn't mean to be angry at Liz but she was the only one that could have any answers.
"It was just a liquid that will help your health and make you feel years younger." Her voice got slower as she continued with her sentence and Macey could almost hear the cogs turning in Liz's head.
"I think it's a bit more than feeling younger." Bex said with a slight laugh, Macey also found the situation a tad funny. But the look on Zach's face stopped Macey laughing.
"Why don't we take her to Ms. Morgan's office?" Macey said trying to keep the peace. Everyone agreed with this. Zach, who was still knelt down next to Cammie, put his arms around her and picked her up, he held her tightly and her baggy, to big clothes were held in place. Cammie's head lolled back and Zach moved it onto his shoulder, making it look as if she was just sleeping.
Macey was at the front of the group and she was thankful that nobody was around and glad that she finally had something to do. She made it to the office first and knocked. "Come in." Ms. Morgan's clear voice came through the wooden door.
Macey stalled for a moment knowing that this was going to be a little bit of a shock for Ms. Morgan, so Bex walked around her and opened the door. They all entered after Bex, Zach was at the back of the group and once he was in Macy saw him place Cammie on the sofa gently.
To say Rachel Morgan was shocked when her daughter's friends entered her room with a child that resembled her daughter when she was five years old, would have been the understatement of the year. There was silence for a few minutes and Rachel was paralysed to the spot, she wanted to ask what had happened, and thankfully the students seemed to understand that.
"Right, so I was making this liquid, a drink, that makes you feel younger and healthier and I was taking it to Dr. Fibbs and I tripped"
"Over air." Macey interrupted Liz's explanation.
Liz continued like Macey hadn't spoken, "and it went over Cammie."
"And the jug hit her in the head." Bex interrupted this time.
"And then Cammie started shrinking and she somehow turned into a five year old." Rachel needed to sit down after that explanation.
Why did Cammie have the worst luck? She thought to herself, and it seemed everyone else was thinking the same thing.
There was silence yet again and Rachel had nothing to say, that was until a small voice made her go do memory lane.
"Where am I? I'm warning you, my mummy and daddy will beat you up!"
Cammie was awake.
