Chapter 7
A week went by with no word from the mystery man. Over that time Yvonne and Brian became extremely close, same with me and AJ, and Leah and Nick started dating. Anyway, today Leah was working on a potion.
"What does this potion do?" I asked her.
"It's a shrinking potion. It'll shrink anything to 3 inches."
"Cool."
She poured in the last of the toe jam. "Now I need to let it refridgerate for an hour and test it."
She stuck it in the fridge and we left to go shopping before our next concert which was tonight.
2 hours later we returned. We ran into Natalie.
"Hey!" She yelled, " you didn't cause any havoc at the mall did you?"
"NO!"
"Good. Oh yeah I'm giving you warning N'SYNC is gonna be here tomorrow for a month. Carrissa, behave."
I looked at her innocently. "Would I misbehave?"
"Do you want me to answer honestly?"
"Not really."
Just then Brian and Yvonne ran in.
"Have you seen Nick?""Brian asked.
"No," Leah answered, "I haven't seen him since this morning."
"Huh, he didn't say he was going anywhere," I remarked. Suddenly I got an uneasy thought.
"Leah did you put a warning on your potion?"
"No, why... oh my gosh!" She jumped up and ran to the kitchen.
She was back in seconds. "My potion is completely gone!"
Yvonne started pacing back and forth. "Great so far we've turned AJ and Brian into goats and possibly shrunk Nick!"
AJ and Kevin walked in. "Have ya'll seen Howie?"
"Crap," I muttered, "Yvonne, stop pacing or you might squash them."
She jerked to a halt as AJ looked at us quizically.
"Well, you see," Leah stammered, "I made this shrinking potion and put it in the fridge and now we can't find Howie and Nick!"
"What!" Kevin yelled. He started stomping around.
Natalie grabbed his arm. "Do you want to squish them!?"
"WAIT!" Brian yelled, "Everyone start searching." We dropped to the ground looking anxiously for them.
10 minutes later Yvonne yelled, "FOUND THEM!"
She held up two 3 inch figures and we started to panic. "Leah how do you reverse it?"
"It wears off after 2 hours!"
"We have to leave in half an hour!"
"AGH!!!!!!!" Suddenly there was a swirl of smoke as Nick and Howie returned to normal size.
"Thank goodness," Leah sighed and gave Nick a huge hug as we took off to prepare for the concert.
