"Has anyone seen Aelita?" Jeremy asked the group when he didn't see her with them.

"No, we thought she was with you." said Yumi. 

"I'm going to go and check in her room, even though its Sunday she should be up by now." Jeremy said. When he went to Aelita's room he saw that she was shaking in her bed and still asleep. He went to go and wake her up, but as soon as he touched her he was shocked badly. He passed out. When he awoke he could tell that something was wrong. He was sitting next to Aelita's bed only he was very small. There was a pencil on the ground near to where he was standing so he judged that he was only 2 or 3 inches tall. Jeremy knew he needed to find help, and he hoped that Aelita hadn't left her room yet. He was relieved to hear Aelita just waking up. His relief ended when he saw her giant foot almost land on him. She was completely unaware that she almost crushed her good friend under her foot. Jeremy tried shouting for her but she wasnt able to hear him while she was standing up. Since Jeremy was only a few inches tall Aelita looked hundreds of feet tall to him and he was pretty scared. Regardless of her size Jeremy atempted to climb onto her big toe so he could get her attention. When he started up her giant toe, Aelita felt something ticking her foot. She looked down to see a tiny Jeremy climbing it, and she asked, "Jeremy, why are you on my toe? and why are you so small?" 

Jeremy answered,"I have no idea, i just woke up and was only this big. And i was climbing your foot to try and get your attention, can you help me?"

"Sure" Aelita said. Then she lifted her foot, put her hand under it and told Jeremy to jump on. Then she lifted him to eye level and said, "Do you think XANA has something to do with this?"

"I don't think XANA would be able to shrink me, after all he's never been able to alter our physical forms before..." Jeremy said. 

"That is true but how do you explain the fact that you are now 2 inches tall in the palm of my hand? Aelita said with a little smile on her face.

"Hey this isn't funny, i'm scared out of my mind here." Jeremy said, starting to ge a little frustrated.

"Why, you're in good hands, haha." Aelita said jokingly. 

"Hello, i'm 2 inches tall, we need to find a way to fix me." Jeremy said

"Ok, ok, im sorry, you just look so cute being that small, i'll take you to the factory, let me just call the others." Aelita said.

Jeremy interrupted, "Wait I dont want a commotion, so lets just you and me go, im sure you'll be able to fix me on your own." Aelita agreed with him and put him on her desk while she went to go and take a shower. Jeremy was waiting for a little while when he suddenly got dizzy,he fell off of the desk and landed in one of Aelita's boots. He could smell her feet all around him in her boot but was relieved that he didnt fall on the hard ground and get hurt. The only real problem was that he was stuck in her boot. 

  Eventually Jeremy Heard Aelita coming back from the bathroom. She was putting her clothes on and then Jeremy felt the boot he was in move. He saw Aelita's giant foot coming in and he ran for the toe end so that he wouldn't get crushed but he was stuck right in between her second and third toes. At first Aelita thought it was just a rock or something between her toes, but when she saw no Jeremy on her desk, she began to worry. Then she slid off her boot and found him between her toes. "Why on earth were you were hiding between my toes Jeremy? Im beggining to think you like being with my toes..." Aelita said.

"I certanly do not like being with your toes, or any part of your feet for that matter, i fell in your boot because i was dizzy and lost my balance on your desk." Jeremy said.

"Ok well im going to take you to the factory now. I guess I'll just carry you there, unless you'd rather ride in my shoe haha. Aelita said to him.
Jeremy said,"Not to be rude or anything but your feet smell Aelita." 

"Hey, that isn't very nice to say to me." She said

"Ok sorry, but can we go now? I'd like to return to normal size sometime today."

"Relax we're going now." She said as she left her dorm, then she closed her hand up and and whispered intoher fist, "I don't want anone to see you so im going to keep you out of sight."When they finnaly got to the factory Aelita put Jeremy in a scanner and went back to the computer to scan him so they could see if XANA did something to him. The scan showed that XANA had nothing to do with his current state. Jeremy asked her to take him to the computer so he could double-check the results. She did as he asked and held him up to the computer screen. "Well everything seems normal except for the fact that i have a lot of your DNA on me." Jeremy said. 

"I saw that too, but i assumed it was because you were in between my toes" Aelita said with a little smile.

"Ugh dont remind me, but it still would explain why there is so much of your DNA on me." Jeremy said. "you know, before i woke up shrunken, I went to wake you up and when I touched you I was shocked and passed out." 

"Are you saying that I did this to you?" Aelita asked. 

"No, well at least not intentionally." Jeremy said. "This morning, you were having a nightmare again right?"

"No actually i was fine last night, no nightmare." Aelita said.

"Then what did you dream about? Because you were shaking a bit..." Jeremy asked.

"Um Id rather not talk about it." She said while blushing.

"Great now you sound like Jim." Jeremy said. "But in all seriousness, i dont know what we are going to so about this."

"Well I can take care of you until we do find a solution." Aelita said.

"Thanks, its good to have a friend like you, but it feels awful to be a bother to you" Jeremy said.

"Well you did go though all the trouble in the world to bring me to earth for the first time." Aelita said. Jeremy still seemed a little down about being only 2in tall. "Aw come on, dont be all down" Aelita said to her little friend. "You aren't any trouble, at least this way you are portable." Then she pet him with her giant index finger. Jeremy forced a smile but Aelita could tell he was still unhappy.
When they got back to the dorm it was already lunch time but they both thought that it would be better if Jeremy stayed in Aelita's room so he could stay out of sight. On her way to the lunch room Aelita kept feeling somewhat guilty for what happened to Jeremy, even though she didnt do anything intentionally she still felt responsible. At the lunch table everyone asked her where Jeremy was so she told them that he stayed at the factory to finish some work. They believed her as Jeremy has done so many times before. Aelita took a plate for Jeremy and went back to her room. Once there she gave the plate to her tiny friend, only there was a problem, he couldn't reach the food so Aelita had to lift him onto it. Aelita had saved a plate with enoughfood for a normal sized person, not realizing that Jeremy only needed a small amount of food so there was a lot left over. "Well for dinner should i just bring you a few crumbs?" Aelita asked.

"You know i don't eat much to begin with." Jeremy said.

"I didn't want to bring you crumbs, i thought that would be mean of me" Aelita said.

"Why do you say that?" Jeremie asked

"I didn't want make you to feel like a pet." Aelita said

"Well you are taking care of me so for the time being i guess i am like your pet, theres no getting around that..." Jeremy said. They both sat there quiet for a while.

"Maybe we should go to your room and try to see if there is anything we can do about this?" Aelita asked.

"I don't see how much that will help but sure." Jeremy said. They made their way to Jeremy's room with no one noticing him. When they got there Aelita started to review Jeremy's scan to see if there was any way to fix him via the scanners. While they were working they heard a knock on the door, and Aelita grabbed Jeremy and put him in her right boot, since she didn't have any pockets with the clothes she was wearing.  She told them to come in. It was Yumi and the others wondering where they had been all day. Aelita told them that Jeremy had to go with his parents to solve some family matters. They were all unsure because Jeremy isn't the type to just leave with no notice/ However they didn't see any reason why Aelita would lie to them. After they left she took Jeremy out of her boot. "Why did you put me in there?" Jeremy asked.

"Sorry, i don't have any pockets and i panicked and you didn't want anyone to see you did you?" Aelita said. Jeremy agreed but he still didn't like that she put him in her shoe. "We need a way of keeping you out of site while keeping you with me" Aelita said. "hey, i have an idea. You remember that locket you gave me a few days ago? You could ride in there, unless youd rather my shoe?"

"No, no ill take the locket. But are you sure I'd fit in it?" Jeremy asked. 

"Well maybe, lets go back to my room and see." Aelita told him. They made there way back to her room, and she managed to find the locket. Jeremy tried to fit in it but he was too big. "Oh, you're too big. and it thought this would be a good idea." Aelita sighed. She was tapping her fingers nervously trying to think of a new way of bringing Jeremy with her. To Jeremy her tapping her finger was making little earthquakes for him. She couldn't help but laugh a bit to see Jeremy struggling to keep his balance when all she was doing was gently tapping her fingers. Jeremy on the other hand wasn't finding it so amusing. While she was thinking about a new plan she kind of wished that Jeremy was just an inch shorter so he could fit into that locket. Then a little bolt of pink lightning jumped from the finger she was tapping onto Jeremy. She only felt a little shock, but to Jeremy it was like the first shock he had gotten and he was out cold again. Aelita was really worried about him and her worrying only got worse when she noticed that he started to shrink even more. He was now only one inch tall. Despite the fact that Jeremy was now even smaller Aelita wanted to see if Jeremy could fit into her locket, so she picked him up using her first two fingers of her right hand as gently as she could. While she was carrying him he woke up to find Aelita looking even bigger than she was before. Then instead of putting him in the locked she put him in the plam of her free hand 

"Aelita, please tell me you foud a way to make yourself bigger." Jeremy said.

"No, sorry you've gotten smaller. I somehow shrank you even further. I'm really sorry Jeremy please dont be too mad at me, i didn't mean it." She said

"Well at least you didnt do it on purpose." Jeremy said. "But if you can shrink me, can you fix me?"

"I'm not sure, i mean i wasn't trying to shrink you, it just kinda happened... But anyway its late and we missed dinner so can we just go to bed?" Aelita asked.

"Alright, but where are you going to leave me to sleep?" Jeremy asked.

"Well I would put you on my bed, but i don't want to move and hurt you. I have an idea though." Aelita said with a mischievous smile on her face. 

"What are you goi-" was all Jeremy could say before Aelita closed her hand on him and was unable to hear him. Then with her free hand she took off one of her boots and her sock, slipped Jeremy in the sock and tied up the end before Jeremy could say anything. then Aelita said 

"Goodnight Jeremy!" and went to sleep.
