Sorry, We Shrunk Ourselves

Chapter 3: Saving The Girls

Crystal screamed inside of one of Quasimodo's jars.

"Seems like this pest is really angry," said Quasimodo.

"I'M CRYSTAL! I'M NO PEST!" cried Crystal, banging on the jar. Esmeralda growled at Crystal as she shivered and moved back. "I-I forgot how scary she was outside of the piggy bank."

"What should do with the pest?" asked Quasimodo, looking down at Esmeralda. "Do we put it on the wall like the other pests?"

Crystal gasped horrifically and saw dead roaches and beetles on the wall.

"Or do we throw it into the wild?" said Quasimodo as Crystal gasped horrifically again. Esmeralda opened her mouth and pointed inside. "You want to eat her? Well, you do need some protein."

"AHHHHHH!" screamed Crystal.

Meanwhile

"Hopefully, the carpet isn't that bad!" chuckled Mummette as she climbed down. When she and others reached the bottom, they dropped their jaws. "All right, maybe it is bad..."

"Why did your husband get this type of carpet?" asked Wanda.

"We're the size of ants, so of course we're gonna be complaining," grumbled Ericka. Before the girls could travel, a gooey liquid splashed on them. "What the hell?!"

"Oh, it's just saliv-AHHH!" screamed Mummette, looking up and seeing a drooling Sunny. "Gulp."

"Hey, Sunny! Why don't you let Mommy and her friends pass by?" chuckled Wanda. Sunny giggled and tried grabbing the girls. "RUN!"

Ericka, Mummette, and Wanda screamed as they ran away from Sunny. They suddenly saw a miniature doll house.

"WE CAN TAKE COVER IN THAT DOLLHOUSE!" yelled Ericka. She and the other girls ran into the dollhouse and breathed heavily. "I think we're safe!"

The dollhouse suddenly shook as the girls shivered. Sunny took the roof off and looked down.

"AHHHH!" screamed Mummette as she heard stomps. "Huh?"

"You don't know how to play with a dollhouse yet, Sunny. Play with this," said Winnie, giving Sunny a rattle. Winnie patted Sunny's head. I'll teach you later. Now, what was in there that got Sunny's attention?"

"Phew, your daughter saved us," said Ericka, looking at Wanda. "We need to act like toys or something."

Winnie looked inside the dollhouse and saw the girls. She grumbled and grabbed them, then left the baby's room.

"WILLIE! WANYE! Why do you keep putting your action figures in the dollhouse?" growled Winnie. The girls had to hold smiles like they were toys. "You should put them in your bedroom."

"Uh, Winnie, we don't remember getting those action figures," said Wanye.

"And one of them looks like Mommy," whimpered Willie, pointing at Wanda. Wayne, Murray, and Griffin walked into the room. "It's Daddy!"

"Kids! Did you see any small monsters around? Oh-" said Wayne, looking down at Winnie. "Winnie, what are those in your paw."

"Some random figures I found," said Winnie.

Wayne kneeled and recognized the faces.

"Girls, you can let go of your smiles now," chuckled Wayne as the girls breathed heavily. Winnie placed the girls on Wayne's paw. "We need to find Crystal."

Meanwhile

Crystal cried in the jar in Quasimodo's kitchen.

"It's over," whimpered Crystal, seeing Quasimodo readying a dish. Crystal suddenly saw Dracula and Frank. "DRACULA! FRANKENSTEIN!"

"All right, Eunice, do your thing," said Frank, putting Eunice on the counter.

Crystal's smile grew larger and larger as Eunice ran towards the jar.

"Crystal! Thank goodness you're all right!" whimpered Eunice.

"You have to get me out of here quickly, or else Esmeralda will eat the both of us!" shivered Crystal.

Eunice nodded her head and pushed the jar.

"All right, all we need is the pest GAH-" yelled Quasimodo, noticing Eunice pushing the jar with Crystal inside. "ESMERALDA, GET THEM! LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL BE HAVING TWO PESTS!"

Esmeralda hissed and jumped towards the counter as Eunice and Crystal looked back. They both screamed in agony, but Dracula sighed and froze Esmeralda. Frank opened the jar and put Crystal and Eunice on his shoulder.

"Now we need to go to the lab," chuckled Frank as Dracula snapped his fingers, making Esmeralda fall.

Later

The Drac Pack looked at the girls through a magnifying glass.

"All right, girls. Are you ready?" Abraham asked. The girls chuckled as Abraham turned the shrink ray on reverse. "Here we go!"

The girls returned to their normal size as they cried and rushed to hug their husbands.

"I was so worried! I thought Quasimodo did something to you!" whimpered Griffin.

"He didn't, Griffin, and I'm still alive!" cried Crystal, hugging Griffin even more.

"I'm sorry that I almost ate you," said Frank, scratching his back.

"I'm sorry that I traumatized you," sighed Eunice.

Ericka hugged Dracula and Abraham hard.

"I'm so dirty," whimpered Ericka.

"Well, all of you guys are," said Abraham.

"You dove had a rough adventure," chuckled Dracula.

"Guys, it's all of my fault that we could've died... If I hadn't rebuilt the shrink ray, then none of this would've happened," sighed Ericka, looking down.

All her friends put their hands on their arms or scratched their backs, feeling guilty or responsible.

"Uh, actually, it's not Ericka's fault," whimpered Mummette.

"It's ours... We wanted her to rebuild the shrink ray so badly," said Wanda.

Ericka smiled as tears slowly flowed from her eyes.

"Come here!" chucked Ericka, hugging her friends hard.

"That's hard enough, Ericka!" shivered Eunice. Something suddenly came to Eunice's mind. "Hold on, how come something went wrong with the shrink ray if we used all the pieces to rebuild it?"

"We destroyed some of the main parts, so those parts caused the shrink ray to go out of control," explained Abraham. "We can send the shrink ray to the main lab for repair."

"All right," said Ericka.

Quasimodo suddenly burst into the lab with Esmeralda.

"WHERE ARE THE PESTS?!" growled Quasimodo.

"The pests you're talking about were actually Crystal and Eunice when they shrank themselves," grumbled Frank, crossing his arms. "We heard you were planning to do something with them too."

Crystal whispered a few things in Griffin's ear.

"Ah yes, putting Crystal on a wall with dead roaches and beetles," growled Griffin.

Quasimodo and Esmeralda rolled their eyes and walked out of the lab.

"Let's go eat some proper dinner," said Wanda.

"Yeah, the piece of bread's too small for my stomach now," chuckled Mummette.
