The Misadventures of Emerald

I JUST GREW TO THE SIZE OF A BLUE WHALE!

Previously on The Misadventures of Emerald...

The next morning, I was ABOUT to eat some goulash again, but thanks to the note I've written down, I decided to eat some Crispix instead, but that created an ENTIRELY different problem.

This time on The Misadventures of Emerald...

Goulash made me shrink, and apparently Crispix made me grow.

So I was eating Crispix the day after that goulash disaster, and for whatever reason, the sparkles from the day before appeared. I was just thinking to myself, "Not again..." but I was quite surprised to see that I was through the roof. No, seriously. My feet were in the kitchen but the rest of me were up in the sky. If anything, I should be thankful that my head didn't reach outer space. That would've been horrible. Anyway, all of a sudden I was the next big (no pun intended) thing to everyone. Even some helicopters came flying along in front of my face. Each helicopter had a camera sticking out of it. That's when I realized that the news were recording me, and I thought to myself, "Yes! Now my family can finally see that I go through this madness!" Peeking through the top of the house I had in my hands, everyone was still asleep. Then I thought to myself, "Wow. They must be heavy-sleepers."

That was a bit of a bummer, but my bummer quickly faded away when I found out how big I was. I found myself standing in the middle of the ocean, this blue whale decided to leap out of the water, and it was even bigger than ME! Holy moly! My head was above the clouds, so I didn't think that ANYTHING was bigger than me, but I was wrong. Apparently, the growing effect was only temporary, because I found myself shrinking... again! Thankfully, I was only shrunk back to my normal size, but that was also bad news because that whale was dropping down towards me with its mouth wide open. Uh-oh. I could've just swam, but how do you expect me to swim from something THAT big? As expected, the whale got me. Luckily though, I didn't actually get eaten. It was trying it's best to chew, but it couldn't. I knew the whale would keep trying until I was done for, so I made a couple of moaning noises, and maybe a few screams so that the whale would think that it's done it. The whale gasped, and it started talking to itself.

Now before I go into the detail of what it said, let me just point out that never in a million years would I imagine that I'd be inside a talking whale. Last time I checked, whales could never speak.

The whale said, "Hold on a moment! Did I do it? Did I do the thing everyone wanted me to do? Am I free to go from these rascals once and for all!?"

This was getting interesting, so I stayed on top of its tongue and kept listening. It sounded like it was swimming downward until suddenly...

"Hey, small size!"

That wasn't me nor the whale I was in talking. It sounded like there might've been other whales out there, but I couldn't be too sure.

"Why're you back here, puny? I thought you were supposed to wallow up in the surface."

The whale I was in said, "B-but guys! I finally did what you wanted me to do! I actually ate a human being!"

The other voices laughed. Hard. "Next time, don't take eternity just sitting up there waiting for your worthless mommy to come get you!"

"N... next time?"

"What are you, deaf? Get a move on, you idiot!"

I then heard the sound of the whale going upwards until eventually reaching the surface. The whale talked to itself again. "Why are those guys always so mean!? I wish I could find a way to get rid of them."
