Chapter 1: Little One

Brennan knocked on Shalimar's door and slowly opened it. He looked at the bed; in it wasn't Shalimar but a small girl who looked about six. She had long blond hair and was wrapped up in the cover. He slowly walked over and sat on the edge of the bed and stood looking at her, a confused expression on his face. Just then the little girl started to wake up. She looked around and froze when she saw Brennan.

"Adam," Brennan raised his comm. Link, "there's a slight problem on getting Shal."

"What?"

"You not gonna believe this but she's shrunk, literally."

"What do you mean 'shrunk'?"

"Gone tiny."

"How tiny?"

"Six-year-old tiny."

"Okay," Adam said slowly, "bring her down to the med-lab."

"Okay." He lowered his arm and looked back at Shalimar; she was still looking at him.

"What's your name?" she asked quietly.

"I'm Brennan. What's yours?"

"Shalimar. Brennan, who's Adam?"

"He's a friend. Do you want to go and say hi?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

"Emma and Jesse, you can say hi to them too if you want."

"Okay."

She stood up and Brennan saw she was wearing an oversized gray T-shirt. She looked up at him.

"Will you carry me?"

He thought for a moment. "Alright."

Brennan picked her up and carried her out, heading to the lab.

He walked into the lab to find the others there. Jesse's eyes widened when he saw the tiny Shalimar.

"Is that Jesse?" she asked pointing to him.

"Yes," Brennan replied trying putting her in the chair, "and that's Adam and that's Emma." She kept hold of him.

"It won't hurt, Adam just wants to make sure you're alright."

Shalimar looked at him.

"Honest."

Slowly she loosened her grip and he sat her down in the chair. Brennan looked over at Jesse; he still looked shocked.

"That is our Shal, right?"

"Think so," Brennan looked at Shalimar.

She was lying back and the yellow beam went over her. Adam turned and looked at the results while Emma went to stand next to Shalimar.

"Brennan," Emma put her hand on his shoulder.

"What?" he asked, coming back to reality.

Shalimar giggled and Emma smiled.

"Shal says she's hungry and wants you to take her to get something to eat."

"Why me?"

"Please!" Shalimar looked over at him.

"Alright," he picked her up and carried her out.

Emma smiled and looked over at Jesse. "What's with you?"

"How'd she turn into a six-year-old anyway?"

"That's what Adam's got to figure out. You coming?"

"Where to?"

"Food."

"Okay."

They turned and walked out. Adam looked at the results and his eyes began to widen as he read the information.

The four of them were watching cartoons in the rec. room when Adam came in. Shalimar was sitting on Brennan and using his hand to hide behind whenever a bad guy appeared. Adam walked in and stood at the end of the sofa. Brennan, Emma and Jesse all looked over at him.

"I can't find anything," he told them, "I've contacted a friend and now I just have to wait for him to get back to me."

Shalimar suddenly hit Brennan with a cushion.

"What was that for?"

She smiled and hit him again.

"Hey, I'm not something to hit cushions on, hit Jesse instead."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Coz Emma's going to get Jesse."

Emma suddenly hit Jesse with another cushion.

"This is unfair!" Jesse complained.

"Why?" Emma smiled.

"It just is."
