@Ancient Relic: depends on whether or not Asha can stand a "little" competition.

@Carycomic: So what happens if Asha finds out that she's not the only one in that game? So many possibilities.

I think you're right, Nick. If memory serves, shrinking was only previously possible in Wonderland. Ba-DUM-boom!
Seriously, though: what was in that orange stuff that could so radically alter Hester Coppertones (or whatever the biochemical name was) into a glorified shrinking potion? Oh, yes, I know. You're probably saving that answer for chapter 18, at the earliest. But, given the hints you've already dropped (like the mysterious midnight scrambling sounds Asha made the night Nick first go to LA), something tells me that bio-miniaturization of local men is not as unprecedented as Tom, or Hester, might think!*
*And, if I'm over-thinking, my apologies. Just call it being "too emotionally invested" in the plot. ;-)

Very nice chapter!
The whole experience felt authentic and I loved how realistic they were in trying to resolve what happened.
Yeah, you keep bringing up the scars on Nick. I'm still wondering if that will be of some importance in the rest of the story.
I wonder which room is closest to Nick. We know is not Asha's becuase her room is above Nick's. Maybe it would be one of the parents or they find the family room where someone is already there.
I would just as scared as Tom was if I found myself shrunk. I would panic and think that I coould be killed by anything. Also, I would think about my original life and how it's all gone.
On the other end, Nick is like "yeah, I shrink all the time, now stop crying and let's explore." He sounds like a veteran as if shrinking is nothing compared to what he did in Minnesota.
These two will be fun to follow. I can't wait for the next chapter!
