Professor Waters rushed into her office, as fast as she could, having just received the finals pieces for her latest invention. She ran past another woman working on some machines who looked just like her. Technically, it was her! Waters was very busy and worked best by herself, so like any other scientist, she cloned herself. The two loved to surprise each other with new inventions, and to the world, there was only one Professor Waters.

Charging into her lab, she emptied the box and assembled the pieces. She finally finished, resulting in a remote like device. Satisfied and tired, she let down her long black hair and removed her coat, revealing a gray tank top. Sweat could be seen glistening on her forehead, chest, and shoulders. She was slim, attractive, had medium sized breasts, and an angular face. This device was a shrink ray, unlike anything ever made. She had seen big potential in the technology. It could solve issues in overpopulation, medicine, transportation, food, surgery, exploration, the possibilities were endless! She smiled drinking from her tea. She looked down at the bottle and had an idea. Only one way to know if it worked!

She set the bottle on the ground, stepped back, and pointed the remote at it. She pressed the button and... nothing happened. Confused, she looked at the remote closely, checking the buttons. Suddenly, it started humming and vibrating. She desperately pointed it at the bottle, get closer to help the device’s range. It popped and smoked until it flashed a bright light. The next thing Waters knew, she was falling through the air!

She screamed as she plummeted down, down, down. It ended with her plunging in a vast ocean. She checked for the device, but it had blown apart. She looked around at the calm sea, it’s brown water. There were a few rainbow colored streaks in the waves. She looked up to see a massive hole in the sky. Eyes wide, she touched the other substance. It was thick and viscous. She realized it was spit. Her spit. She was in the bottle of tea.

Waters began to panic. She was absolutely tiny with a broken shrinking device, stuck in a vast, deep, inescapable bottle filled with tea! She thought of her phone, but remembered it was in her coat pocket. She swam to the plastic wall to see if she could climb up, but it was slick and couldn’t be used. She was too small to make the bottle move too. She looked at the device to see if it could be salvaged. Just then, the ocean began to ripple with loud booms. Waters froze a shadow wast cast over her. She looked up to see herself towering above! Her clone had entered the lab.

The clone Waters stepped into the lab, looking for her other self. She saw the coat, all the materials, and the belongings of her counterpart. Confused, she looked at the bottle of tea on the ground. It wasn’t like her to just leave unannounced, especially leaving all her stuff behind. She walked over to the bottle and picked it up. She walked around, still looking. Deciding she could wait, the other Waters looked down at the bottle. She was thirsty and decided to take a sip. After all, it was already kind of hers. Satisfied for the moment, she took a long swig, letting the liquid sit in her mouth, before gulping it down. She left the room.

The tiny Waters panicked, trying to call out to her larger self. She knew what could happen. She yelled as the giantess walked in a circle and picked up the bottle. Her own massive face looked down at her. She flailed about screaming, hoping for something. She froze as she saw the enormous lips part, revealing a cave of a mouth. The ocean tilted, pouring inside. It created a lake inside, pulling the tiny Professor in. The bottle pulled away and the lips closed behind her. Shocked, she looked at the tall teeth around her. Suddenly, a flushing noise occurred, and the tea began flushing down the deep throat. Waters tried her best to swim away, but it was too much. She watched the teeth go into the distance and look up to see a huge uvula. She was sent cascading down the falls, swallowed by her own self.

Outside, clone Waters stifled a small burp, and continued on.

Little Professor Waters sat up from where she landed in shock. She had been inadvertently eaten by her own clone! She stood up and began to traverse the mushy interior of the stomach. This would have been a great scientific opportunity if it didn’t mean she was stuck here. How could she get out? She couldn’t contact here larger self, and the other way through the body meant digestion and death. Gas built up and she heard a burp echo through the chamber. She had an idea.

Maybe if she could cause enough commotion in the belly, she could cause the clone to burp. If it was a large enough burp, she might fly out. It was dangerous, but worth a try. She began to hop, skip, and run around, tickling and punching the slimy pink walls. She splashed around in the fluids and kicked around squishy pieces of food. She could feel the air pressure around her changing as she moved more and more. It was working.

The clone Waters began to feel an uneasiness in her tummy. It felt like her stomach was churning. She sat still and tried to hold her breath to calm it down, but it was no use. Her stomach groaned and the rising gas could be heard. She then released an embarrassingly loud burp. Surprised and wide-eyed, she quickly closed her mouth and took a deep breath.

The little Waters continued to agitate the cavernous stomach. Suddenly, the gas became too much, creating a vacuum that sucked her upwards. An enormous, booming, deafening belch roared sending her rocketing up the throat. She flew out of the throat, passed the uvula and teeth, towards the wide opening. She flew out as the entrance closed, knocking her down to the bottom lip. She had made it! Almost... She was at a dizzying height. Below, the body of the clone could be seen in the distance. Above, her massive face loomed. She tried to peel herself off the lip, but was stuck. Not for long though. The clone scrunched her wall-like lips and with the force of a hurricane, inhaled a gust of wind into the giant nose above. Peeling off the lip, she flew into the dark tunnel of a nostril.

Beaten up, tiny Waters got bearings of her new surroundings. It was damp with snot, and giant nose hairs sprouted up like trees. A light could be seen at the end and winds blew above her. She was stuck in a tangle of snot and hairs. This shouldn’t be a challenge, compared to the stomach, though. Simply, she began moving in place to force a giant sneeze. It could kill her, but it was her only chance. Otherwise, she would be sucked further down, into the lungs. She knew that she wouldn’t survive that.

The clone was working on intricate machinery, staring at the pieces with magnifying goggles. Uncontrollably, she sneezed all over her work, spraying it in snot. Frustrated she grabbed a wipe.

Small Waters once again flew out, this time far away from the massive face of her clone. She landed with a splat, coated in the gooey mixture of snot and spit. She saw the giantess above wipe her nose and look down at the surrounding metallic surface. She was wearing magnifying goggles! Waters franticly flailed and yelled up at her own, large face. The clone above made a face and looked closer.

The replicant was about to wipe down the tiny components of her invention, focusing on the magnified splatter she had created. She could see little details in it like air bubbles. And something twitching? She looked closer at the tiny speck, magnifying all the way. There, moving in her own snot, she saw the minuscule, original Professor Waters.
