Incredible Shrinking Haley

"Little" Sister

I had some time to kill until Liz came home and took me to the airport. I didn't really know how to feel that time. Erin left so abruptly, that I kind of felt teased and empty. I laid down on my bed with all my limbs spread apart just contemplating this weird, weird day so far. I was kidnapped by someone who hates me, and ended up wanting either to sleep with her or date her?? Is that Stockholm syndrome? I mean, we worked out our issues, but why am I so attracted to her now. I needed to distract myself. I grabbed my phone and started replying to my unread messages. Shelly was proving to be a fun texter. She was super nice, funny, and enthusiastic. One thing I found odd was how she wasn't mentioning my size at all, when before she seemed so interested in it. After I replied to everyone, I found myself going directly to my photo album to look at those photos of Erin and I.
"Shit, I shouldn't be looking at these..." I couldn't bring myself to delete them, but I needed to forget about them as well. But I couldn't. I was thinking about how nice Erin was to me after we talked. I almost liked it more when she was being bitchy and dominating me. It was more of a turn on. The niceness just felt fake after a while. Maybe we could work out a happy medium. Before I could keep thinking about Erin, Shelly texted me back already. To my surprise, she had already asked me to meet up for a coffee or even lunch someday soon. At full size, I would have loved that. But now that I'm so defenseless, I was actually scared of that idea. I told her I had family coming in for the week, and I couldn't commit to anything right now. Hopefully by that time we will have gotten to know each other more, and either stop talking by then or I would be more ok with that idea. I wonder if that's how Dana felt when I reached out to her...
Speaking of Dana, I couldn't forget about her thing at 7 she wanted me to join her for. I sent her a text asking her if it's still going on. By the time i finished that text, Shelly had sent me another one. How fast she was replying was starting to freak me out a little. I managed to kill about 30 more minutes, partly due to Shelly's lightning fast responses, and Liz finally arrived. I walked out of my room to go say greet to her
"Ooooh look at you all dressed up and cute!! I love your hair and makeup."
"You wouldn't believe who did it for me..."
"Is this related to you saying that you'll tell me how your classes went?"
"Ohhhh yeah." So I started recapping the events of today. Of course I omitted the part where I might have caught feelings for Erin. After about another 20 or so minutes, I finished.
"Sooooo.... are y'all, like, friends now?"
"I'm not entirely sure? I do want to talk to her more, kind of to see where we stand, but I don't want to do it so soon."
"Hmnm... it sounds to me that you kinda like her, don'tcha?"
"W-w-what do you mean?" I was very nervous. Was I that obvious?!
"I mean it seems like y'all hit it off! You let her play dress up with you, and not me! Maybe you should have asked her to take you to the airport." I could tell she wasn't really upset, just joking around.
"Well I would have, but she has a sorority meeting! Totally kidding, but, seriously, what did you mean by 'like her'?"
"As a friend, of course. How else? Like, you guys bonded. Her and I never had an issues with each other, so I wouldn't be opposed to hanging out with her and all that. Oh! We should leave. I don't want to keep your little sister waiting at the airport."
"Ha! I don't know about her being my 'little' sister anymore, but you're right! I hope I'll be ok with out one of those car seats."
"Hopefully! Luckily the airport is like 15 minutes away. If anything, you can ride on her lap on the way back."
We made our way to her car, she helped me get in and buckle me in. We talked all the way to the airport like we usually would. It's nice to be treated the same as I would if I were still full sized. I had a feeling that Annie would treat me like a baby once she got here. But, I was still getting more and more excited to see her. We arrived at the airport, and Annie was there already. I couldn't see her yet, however, since I couldn't see out of the window. Liz pulled up to the curb, and told me she is right outside. I unbuckled my belt, and struggled to open the heavy car door. When I was finally outside, I quickly scanned the airport. Luckily, it's not too big (even for me), so I quickly spotted her. I started running towards her. When she saw me, she extended her arms for a hug, but I jumped up as high as I could. She embraced me, and twirled while hugging me.
"Look at how pretty you look!! Your hair is amazing. You didn't need to get all dolled up to get me from the airport though!!" In the back of my mind, I could imagine people thinking I was her daughter since we look so much alike. We kissed each other on the cheek, and then she put me down to hug Liz. I backed up as not to be stepped on by the two towering girls as they hugged firmly. I'm glad that my little sister had gotten along so well with my friends. Her duffle bag was next to me, and I tried picking it up while they were still hugging each other. It took all my might to make it budge even a little.
"You got that for me?" Annie asked, while laughing.
"Maybe if you didn't put bricks in there!!"
"All I have is clothes! And shoes, and my makeup. But it shouldn't be too heavy." She picked it up effortlessly with one hand, and I was a little embarrassed at the thought that I couldn't lift up some clothes. It was weird seeing my little sister from this angle. I'm 3 years older than her, so she has always been little to me. She is only 5'4", so I always called her mini-me and teased her for only reaching 5'4". For some reason, she was the "oddball" of the family. Our dad is 5'11" and our mom is 5'9", but Annie ended up tiny, relatively. Even though I teased her, it was always in good faith. She used to call me giant back, so there were no hard feelings between us. We got along very well, so I'm not worried that I will end up in another Erin situation of being spanked and degraded. Annie put her bag in the trunk, and made her way into the front seat. When she saw me approaching, she told me "Tallest in the front seat!" And winked at me. That's something I would always say to her.
"Jokes on you, I need to sit on your lap." She picked me up, and placed me on her lap, all while laughing.
"Man you lost half your size, but almost all your weight. How much do you weigh now?"
"I actually have no idea. I haven't weighed myself yet. Or even measured, for that matter. But I at least know I am 3 feet tall because of another girl who shrank before me is the same size."
"You should weigh yourself! I feel like it's important to know. If you're eating less now and start dropping weight, it will be important to track and tell your doctor."
"That's true. I haven't thought about that, and I feel like I have been eating less. I don't really have an appetite anymore." We sat and talked the whole car ride back. Annie was very concerned about me now, it was a little annoying, Having my baby sister be almost motherly for the first time was new to me, and I don't know if I could get used to it. We always used to talk like best friends, and now it feels like she's nagging me.  The rest of the car ride was kind of the same as that. We would talk about something, Annie would get concerned, and it would irritate a little that she was acting so uptight. When we were about 5 minutes away, I sort of snapped.
"Annie, I absolutely appreciate your concern. Really, I do. And I love you, but if you are going to be... uptight? Motherly? I am not sure what the best word is, but so this the entire week, I really don't know if it is going to work. I am super happy you are here, but I wish you would act like you normally would. I don't need anyone to be a protector, or a spy for mom and dad. Please, treat me how you normally would, ok?"
"Hayls, I am sorry. I didn't want to act like this, it just happened. I imagine how annoying it would be for you to be treated like a little girl, or who doesn't know how the world works. I'm just super worried, of course, but you are right. I'm your sister, so I need to act like that instead of a parental figure. Please let me know if I continue being so annoying. For this week, I just want to get away, hang out with my big sis, and not worry about anything! Maybe a few parties? Some nice college boys?"
"HA! 'Nice college boys'! You innocent child." Liz interjected. We both laughed.
"I don't know how many parties I will be attending like this, either. Something about giant, stumbling, drunk people is frightening."
"Oh, come on! I won't let you out of my sight!!" This is the Annie I know. Carefree, just wants to have a good time, and always sticks to her guns.
"I'll will totally get lost in the sea of legs!! I would probably get drunk in like half a beer, making it not worth paying the cover fee. Having your shrunken little sister around you at all times would probably not help you get any boys. I don't even have clothes that are nice enough to go out. Should I continue?"
"But... college parties!! I need to get used to it for next year when I'm in college!"
"If it's cool with you Haley, I can take her to a bar or two. Our roommates are out until tomorrow, so it would be nice to be able to not have to worry about coming back and being loud and waking them up."
"I mean, I'm not her parent. She can make her own decisions. Do you even have a fake? How're you gonna get drinks?"
"I could use your ID?"
"I mean we do look alike. But my ID has me listed at 6 foot, remember?"
"I'll just tell them I shrunk! But, like, 8 inches." There was a bit of an awkward silence. Liz had this look that Annie shouldn't have said that. I thought it was kinda funny, admittedly. "Too soon? Way to read the room, Annie..."
"I highly doubt that they actually care what the ID will say about her height. I have seen some really bad fakes. Either way, have you seen your sister, Haley? She is absolutely gorgeous. Boys will be all over her, and I'm sure they'll buy her drinks." Everyone says my sister and I are identical, but I always thought she was significantly prettier than me. I love me, but I do get a little jealous sometimes. I wouldn't say I am insecure, but I wouldn't mind a few "upgrades".
"Like I said; I'm not her mom. She turned 18 last month and she can make her own choices. I definitely won't go, especially not tonight since I am meeting up with Dana at 7. By the way, I thought your joke was funny. I don't want to have, like, 'victim complex' about being tiny. Just don't go overboard with it, please."
"Gotcha, big sis!" I just groaned when Annie said that.
We finally arrived at our apartment. Annie opened the way too heavy door for me, and i hopped down, almost tripping. I didn't realize how big the drop was. She got out after me, went to the trunk and easily took our duffle bag out of the trunk. I was standing a little too close to her, as when she turned to close the trunk and walk away, she nailed me with her bag, and knocked me flat on my ass.
"Haley, oh my goodness, are you ok?!" That darn thing knocked the air out of me. I was having some trouble getting up and breathing when Liz ran around the corner to help me up and carry me in. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you!"
"Annie! It's ok, it's my fault. I wasn't thinking and stood to close to you. Don't worry, I'm fine now!" I definitely was thinking. I was thinking how my little sister is this towering goddess now, and I can't get over it. I wanted to compare myself to her, because seeing my little sister, who has always been little, now be over 2 feet taller than me, is making it all sink in. We eventually all made it inside. Liz put me down and went to her room to nap. Annie and I went to my room. She threw her bag down on the floor, and plopped herself on my bed. I struggled to climb up, but got it, and rested my head on her stomach.
"Gosh, you weigh like nothing now. I can seriously hardly feel you. What has it been like so far?" And from there i recapped all the events in my day to her as well. Considering Annie is my best friend and sister, I didn't leave out anything, like the whole Erin situation.
"So... you got dicked down so hard, you became... lesbian?"
"Annie!!"
"What?! That's what i got out of that!"
"No, I mean you shouldn't be saying those things. You shouldn't even be thinking of those things."
"Oh, c'mon sis. I'm a senior in high school. Don't you think I have had the talk about the birds and the bees? Just keep telling me about your new girlfriend, you li'l lesbo."
"I'm not... lesbian. Maybe bi? I don't know. I'm confused. I think it might just be part of the side effects. Like, everyone is more attractive now!"
"Even me?"
"Annie, that's just... weird."
"I didn't mean it that way!! Anyways, so what's going on with you and Erin? She said she could have fun with your new size, and then sort of did a 180, and left?"
"Yeah, pretty much. That is what it felt like to me, anyways."
"Text her? Hello, it seems pretty easy. There's no guy for you to pull that 'guy has to text first' BS, and y'all haven't been on a date to do the 'don't text tell 2 days later' BS."
"You think so? You... might be right..."
"Hayley, I have not know you to be a go getter. So.... go and get! Watch, send her a text, and while we are waiting for her to reply, we can get you ready for you meetup with Dana, unless you're going like that?"
"I don't think I look bad, do I?! Wait, oooooh, let me see the clothes you brought for me!!" I jumped down from my bed, made my way to her bag, and opened it. The first piece of clothing I pulled out were some mini denim booty shorts. "Ah, yes, a pair of pants if i was twice, maybe three times as wide as i am now. Perfect!!" I said while laughing.
"Pants?" She asked while getting up. "Nah, no way. Those are definitely too long for you. She got down from the bed as well, sat beside me (I must add she was around my height, if not taller still) and we went through all the new clothes to kill time. There were some nice stuff I wouldn't mind wearing, but it was all kid's clothes still. Maybe Barbie outfits wasn't to bad after all? Liz had gotten up from he nap at one point, got ready to go out and went to my room. Annie got ready as well and at around 6:30 we left. Erin hasn't responded yet, but Shelly was still lighting fast with the replies.
"Are you sure it's not too early for you guys? Nothing is going on at 6:30."
"Nahh, it's fine." Liz assured me. "If anything, if Dana doesn't mind, we can hang out a little as well. Or, ooh! Annie and I can go get some food because we definitely don't want an empty stomach for how hard we are going to go tonight." Hearing how crazy Liz was planning on getting tonight was a little worrisome, but I trust her, and more importantly I trust Annie.
"Just, don't get blacked out."
"Hahah we'll be fine. We'll pregame enough at the frat house we're going to and just keep up with that buzz all night by sipping. Some of our sorority sisters will be there with us too."
"Y'all are going to a frat tonight?"
"Oh, yeah. They love when our sorority goes over. You would know, if you ever came to party with us!" I went out to bars and all, but I really pre-gamed or anything. I was always busy with schoolwork or practice.
