Carlos' POV

I woke up in the morning to find Felix fast asleep in my hand. I chuckled softly and gently placed him on my pillow. I got out of bed, being careful not to wake Felix up. It was only just then, I remembered I had to go to school. I dialed my parents on my phone and whispered, "Good morning..um..I'm feeling a little sick today, can I do school online instead?", I hoped it would work. I lied that I was whispering because my throat was hurting, but really it was just to not wake up Felix. I was so glad when my parents believed it! I was just about to put the phone down, when I heard a voice. "Yeah, sure. You're 'sick'." it laughed. I turned around to see Felix sitting there, laughing. "Felix! I- um.." I began. "Don't worry. Not everyone loves school." he chuckled. I blushed. It wasn't the real reason I lied I was sick. I just really wanted to spend time with Felix, and that was all. And then I remembered, the things that I had ordered were coming today! From excitement to worried, I grabbed my phone and made a call with my maid. "Hey, um, if the doorbell rings and it says its for Mr.Damien, bring that box to me. It's for my friend as a um..gift." I said, trying to sound innocent.

Felix's POV

I heard Carlos call someone on his phone, saying something about "Mr.Damien". I wasn't sure who he was, but it was probably no one important. Suddenly, I heard a really loud ringing noise echo throughout the "castle". Thumping footsteps where getting louder and louder until there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Carlos asked, excited. "It's your maid. The package for Mr.Damien is here." came a female voice. The footsteps faded away, and Carlos swung the door open eagerly, and started to rip open the package after closing the door. And there I saw it - a phone, a bed, and some earphones, all my size! I jumped up and down as Carlos carefully handed them over to me. Because he had taught me how to use all these machines, I was technically(hehe no pun intended)an expert at technology now. Carlos helped me set everything up, but he had to ask me what everything said on the phone all the time, because it was too small for him to see. "You could be telling me anything and I would believe it, but I trust you." He chuckled after a while of asking questions. I finally had a phone! Playing on the giant phone was really fun, and I had always wished to have a normal-sized one, and here it is. I began to use the phone a little too much over the past weeks with Carlos. One day, I was sitting on my bed, using my phone again, until Carlos came and lay down on his. "Come on Felix! Let's do something else for once! I don't want you to be a phone addict. Besides, I have a surprise for you today!" he said, turning on his side to face me. I sighed, and placed the phone down, smiling. "Ooh! What could it be?" I giggled. He offered me his palm and I clambered on, wondering what the surprise could be. He walked me over to an en-suite bathroom and placed me on the sink. "So, I've bought something that I think will be fun and entertaining for the both of us. I have to set it up now, and since it's a surprise, I don't want you seeing it. Don't worry, it will only take about 5 minutes to set up! he smiled. I nodded and he left the bathroom, leaving me there. About a minute passed and I was starting to get bored, but then I started to hear light tapping, but I tried to ignore it. They got louder and louder, until I finally decided to investigate the noise, turning around. I jumped back and screamed, finding a large spider there, trying to advance on me. I backed away, trying to find a source of protection, but there were none. "CARLOS!" I screamed, but there was no reply. I kept on screaming his name, clambering over things to get away from the spider, until finally he came. "What- AHH!".

Carlos' POV

I started to set up the surprise, giggling along the way. It would be so cute to see Felix using this! A minute passed and I heard him shouting my name, but I thought he was just calling to see if I was done. He kept on shouting and shouting, until finally, I got annoyed, and walked over to the bathroom. "What is it- Oh my god!" I screamed, seeing the spider advancing slowly on Felix. I opened the cupboard and grabbed the spray quickly. "Felix! Move, quickly!" I ordered, and he did so. I sprayed the spider and it fell in an instant. "Whew..that was a close one." I said, trying to sound as calm as I could. I looked over to Felix, who was shaking violently. Guilt started to take over my body. "I'm really sorry Felix, I thought you were just calling to see if I were done..I'm really sorry." I apologized, and he laughed nervously. "I-it's alright Carlos, you didn't know..".           "Well anyway, the surprise is ready." I mumbled, trying to sound casual. And just like that, the mood was up again as I brought him to the box with a black cloth over it. I flicked it off dramatically, and it revealed some tracks with decorations around them. "Well, what do you think?" I asked excitedly. "It's amazing, Carlos!" he exclaimed, and gestured to put me on the cart. "Are you ready?" I questioned, ready to push the cart with my finger. He nodded excitedly, and I pushed the cart. "Weeee!" he bellowed, putting his hands in the air. I noticed his hands were getting quite close to the decorations and wires I put on top, so I jokingly said in a robotic voice, "Please keep all feet and arms inside the vehicle.", as he chuckled, following the instructions. As I saw him getting closer to the tunnel, I grabbed a small glitter container and sprinkled some over him as he was revealed. Turns out, a small amount of glitter for me was a lot for Felix. At that time he was absolutely shining! - apart from his personality. 

Felix's POV

The tension was up when the cart went through a tunnel, and when I came out, glitter covered my entire body! Ugh..I absolutely hated glitter. It was really sticky and hard to get off. I tried my best to brush it aside but it just wouldn't budge. "Whoops! Sorry Felix! Let me help you off so I can clean this mess, and we'll continue the ride after." he said. He was about to bring me to his desk, but he paused. "Oh yeah..I forgot I don't have a bath for you. And I'm grounded so I've lost my maid privileges for now..so.." he began, and then his face lit up, and turned to me. He blew at me with all his might, trying to get the glitter off. Some of it did, but others stuck on. My hair was all messy and a few spit particles covered empty spaces. Ugh..I hate being small.  After that didn't work, he grabbed his phone and called his parents for some water. There was a knock at the door and water was delivered. "Sorry for that, Felix." He chuckled nervously, pouring some water in a bottle cap. "You can wash with this for now." .   I nodded and started to wash off the glitter. It was a hard job but I got it all off in the end. Carlos gently placed me in the cart again and pushed it with his finger, sending me off. The tracks went through another tunnel, which thankfully didn't have any glitter at the end. The cart traveled up his bed and in his bookcase, around pillows and clear aquariums. It was so cool! I was grateful that Carlos went through all the trouble to do this for me. After the ride had ended, he scooped me up and cupped his hands around me. "How did you like the ride?" He asked, eagerly waiting for an answer. "It was so cool! Thanks for making this, Carlos!" I exclaimed, jumping up and down. "I'm glad you liked it." he smiled. We spent the rest of the day talking about certain pranks we could pull. He told me he would be laughing his head off if I pretended to be a doll and scared my sister. It was terrifying even just thinking about it, but I didn't want to show him that I was a weak, scaredy cat, so I agreed reluctantly.

Carlos' POV

"How about you steal my parent's things?" I suggested. "No..that's too risky." Felix said. I sighed, but then an idea popped in my head. "What about pretending to be a doll? It would be so funny scaring my sister!" I said hopefully. When I saw Felix's worried face, I immediately changed the topic, but he got me surprised when he said, "N-no..it's alright. I'll do it.".  I was so shocked and happy at the same time. "Are you sure, Felix?" I asked again. He nodded.
