Honey, I Shrunk the Egos

Magic!

Signe stepped out of the car, thanking the driver and as she closed the door, and immediately opened her purse. Smiling, she lifted it up, looking inside. "How are you guys doing?"

"Zis is not a first class vey to travel." Dr. Schneeplestein grunted, sitting in the corner of the bag, hugging a tube of lipstick.

"I think the good doctah is feeling a little motion sick." Sean explained. "We're all alright though. Are we there?"

"Almost..." Signe glanced around their current surroundings. "Just a short walk down the street."

"Perfect!" Sean smiled, then motioned her closer. Signe glanced around before leaning down to the bag. "Thanks for trying to stay so calm through all of this. I know... the guys themselves existing is weird... and now with everyone shrinking, everything is weirder." He sighed. "It's something I should really be handling, but since I can't... just thanks."

"Sean, you know I'd do anything for you, and your weird alter egos." Signe chuckled. "Let's just pretend it's normal and focus on making sure they're all safe."

"You're the best, Weesh!" Sean grinned, nodding.

Signe simply smiled and gently positioned the purse by her side as she began down the street. Chase glanced over and grinned. "If you don't marry her, dude, I will."

"Hey!" Sean turned to him. "You're still getting over a marriage! Leave me and my tiny Voosh alone!"

Dr. Schneeplestein grunted. "Out of all of ze egos, I don't zink you vould be anyone's first choice, Chase."

"That was kind of harsh..." Sean pointed out.

"Really harsh, bro." Chase pouted. "I mean... they'd choose me over Anti, right?"

"Unless zey wanted a bad boy... probably." The doctor shrugged.

Sean sighed. "You're a good guy Chase, lots of girls would be after you. Just... not... my girl." He glared at him.

Chase chuckled. "Alright, alright." He bit his lip. "You ever call her by her real name though, bro?"

"Signe?" Sean shrugged. "Yeah... I do that... sometimes." He chuckled. "She's too cute not to have nick names though."

Signe couldn't hear any of this conversation as she carefully carried the bag at her side, focused on reaching the magician's club.

Marvin had been on stage, in the middle of a show when he had began to shrink. For any other job, this would be a concern or an inconvenience, but for a magician, it was a miracle. "Was your card the king of hearts?" He asked, squinting at his deck of cards.

"No..." The now unimpressed, and bored audience member he had brought on stage, groaned out.

Marvin shook his head. "Oh, not hearts! Diamonds! The king of diamonds?"

"No."

Fumbling, Marvin lost his grip on the deck and dropped it. It had just felt too big to hold onto anymore. The boy glanced at him and shifted. "Weren't you taller a moment ago?"

Shaking his head, Marvin sighed. "Taller? Hah. What a question. Help me grab these cards, they're..." He hesitated, and glanced at the boy. "Magic."

"No, really!" The boy pointed at him. "I think you just got smaller!" The audience all focused closely on Marvin as he stared at his young helper. The crowd suddenly gasped in amazement as they watched Marvin get smaller before their very eyes. Tapping his fingers together, Marvin looked out over the audience in confusion. "You're shrinking!" The boy shrieked, clapping his hands. "That bad card trick was just a distraction? How are you shrinking?!"
