When she woke up Aelita almost forgot about the tiny Jeremy in the sock on her desk. she took him out of her sock and saw that he was awake. "did you sleep well?" Aelita asked. 

"Well im surprised i slept at all..." Jeremy said. "Its hard to sleep when all you can smell is someone's sweaty foot." 

"Haha sorry, i think i got a little carried away hope you're not too upset." Aelita said.

"Don't worry about it, I'm starting to get used to the smell..." Jeremy said. 

"So you liked being in my sock?" Aelita said confused. 

"No, i said i was getting used to it, not that i was liking it." Jeremy said.

"Anyway, I have to go to class, so you wanna get in the locket?" Aelita asked.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Jeremy asked nervously.

"Yeah you'll be fine Jeremy don't worry. Would I put put you somewhere that was dangerous?" Aelita said while gently picking Jeremy up with her two front fingers.

"I just spent the night in your sock Aelita..." Jeremy said.

"I said dangerous, not uncomfortable." Aelita told him.

"Well anyway lets get this over with." He lied down in the locket and waited for her to close it. 

"Aw, you look so cute!" Aelita said

"You're going to be late Aelita" Jeremy said. She nodded and closed the locket. Then she tied it around her neck and left for classes. All throughout the day she went to the bathroom regularly to check on him and at lunch she went to the bathroom locked the door and put Jeremy on the sink and gave him a meatball from her tray. He took near to 4 bites and said he was full. 

"You know Jeremy, I dont see a reason in bringing you food if you aren't going to eat it." Aelita said.Jeremy just told her to put him back in the locket so they could get on with the day.

"By the way, you don't have to check one me every 15 minutes, I'm not going anywhere." Jeremy said as she was closing the locket.

"Well I'm only making sure that you are ok." Aelita said to him.

"I'm in a locket, i dont see how i could get hurt." Jeremy said. 

"True, but since your in a locket on a necklace if i get up too quick, run, or even turn my head to fast you could be shaken really badly." Aelita said.

"So why don't you put a little tissue or something for a cushion?" Jeremy asked. Then Aelita took a tissue and put it in the locket with Jeremy.

"There, comfy?" Aelita asked as she closed the locket. After she closed the locket she left for the rest of her classes. After her little conversation she only went to check on Jeremy once more untill the end of the day. On her way to the cafeteria she lifted the locked and asked Jeremy if she should bother getting him any food, and she heard him say (barely) that he wasn't hungry. At dinner Yumi, Odd, and Ulrich were talking about why they thought Jeremy didn't say anything before he left. Aelita explained that along with the fact that he was in a hurry it was more of a private matter with his family so he really didn't want to have to tell anyone.

"Einstein said that to you? Doesn't sound like him." Odd said to her.

"Well, no he didnt say that exactly, but i could tell from the way he was acting." Aelita said.

"Oh, that makes sense." Ulrich said.

Then Yumi said, "I hope everything works out for him."

"Yeah me too." Aelita said while looking down at the locket that she knew contained the friend they were all concerned about. She still felt guilty for what happened, especially after she shrank him even smaller. Now she was sure it was her fault and she also knows of the possibility that there isn't a way to make Jeremy normal again.

"Aelita........ Aelita are you still there?" Yumi asked. 

"Oh..... sorry, I guess i spaced out." Aelita said.

"You're not still having those visions are you?" Ulrich asked.

"No, those stopped a while back." Aelita said.

"Well at least the missed school work won't be a problem for him" Odd said, trying to enlighten the situation.

"You seem concerned Aelita, whats wrong?" Yumi asked.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Aelita said.

  When they got back to Aelita's dorm, Aelita was almost crying. Jeremy being in the locket, he couldn't tell that Aelita was so upset. She took off her locket and let Jeremy out on her desk. Aelita didn't even acknowledge Jeremy when he came out of the locket, she to lost deep in her thought. She kept thinking to herself, what if she could never change Jeremy back to his original size? What kind of life would he have? He would have to be like a pet for the rest of his life and all because of her. Jeremy started calling to her because he saw that she was crying on her bed. She got up and sat down at her desk looking down at Jeremy. 

"What, your not gonna put me in your sock for the night?" Jeremy said jokingly trying to perk Aelita up.

"You shouldn't be able to fit in my sock, you're supposed to be taller than me." Aelita said.

"How were you supposed to know you'd shrink me, it was not under your control." Jeremy reminded her.

"But its still my fault." She said. 

"That isn't true, and you know that. For all we know i could have triggered it." Jeremy said. Aelita ran her finger through his hair and put up a little smile. "Hey, im supposed to be upset, not you." She just left Jeremy on her desk and lied down on her bed. He could tell she was still a bit upset so he came up with a new idea. He jumped down onto her bed, and made sure that Aelita didn't notice him. Then He walked up to her giant right foot and tickled it the best he could, considering the fact that Aelita's foot was 8 times his size. He heard her laughing and knew that he had managed to cheer her up. Aelita sat up and picked Jeremy up.

"You still don't like my feet?" she said with a smile. 

"I only did that to cheer you up." Jeremy said.

"Thanks Jeremy you're a really good friend." Aelita said as she picked up the sock she was wearing all day. 

"Aelita, what are you doing?" Jeremy asked nervously. 

"Putting you in your bed." She said giggling.

"Why cant you put me in a clean sock at least?" Jeremy asked.

"Because there's no fun in that." Aelita said

"You find putting me in your dirty sock fun?"

"Well, its pretty funny." She said as she tied the end. "Goodnight!" As she fell asleep she kept thinking to herself that she would find a way to get Jeremy back to normal. Then she started to think that she might not even have the ability to make him grow. She shook off the thought and fell asleep.     Jeremy was glad that he was able to cheer Aelita up. And we was telling the truth when he told her that he didn't blame her for his condition. Despite the fact that he was now spending the night in Aelita's sock, he was glad that he could still do some good at his size. In the back of his mind though he was thinking of a way that he could get back to normal. Since there was nothing he could do about it, and he was almost certain that the supercomputer couldn't help him, he had to hope that Aelita would be willing to dedicate her free time to try and figure something out with him. With both their minds working at it it shouldn't be too hard coming up with a way to fix him, or at the very least find a way for Aelita to control her new ability or prevent further shrinking of Jeremy or anyone else.

  The next morning Jeremy woke up pressed up against what the thought was the carpet floor, but he could tell that he was still in Aelita's sock from the smell. Jeremy wondered if Aelita had forgotten that he was in her sock on her desk and  put a book or something heavy on top of it. He kept trying to push whatever was on top of him off, but strength was never one of Jeremy's strong points. But he could tell that whatever was on top of him was in her sock with him. He started to panic and moved around as much as he could. Then Jeremy felt some of the pressure lift off of him. "Oh, you're awake Jeremy." He heard Aelita say. 

"Aelita! Help me!" Jeremy shouted. 

"Jeremy calm down, you are just in my sock." Aelita said.

"Then why am i being pressed into the ground, what did you put in here?" Jeremy asked while some pressure was still on him, he was starting to get frustrated.

"Well let's think Jeremy, what typically goes in socks?" Aelita said while giggling.

"Aelita, you are hurting me!" Jeremie shouted. She was just reading a book on her bed but she lifted her the pressure of Jeremy a bit. However she decided to move her foot so that Jeremy's head was right in between her toes. She kept curling her toes, and played with Jeremy under her toes. 

"Quit complaining, I'm not hurting you am I?" Aelita asked.

"In a few minutes i might drown in all your sweat." Jeremy said.

"My feet don't sweat that much, now calm down and let me read." Aelita said.

"No, this is humiliating, let me out of your sock!" Jeremy shouted

 Aelita got up and grabbed her boots, she put them on and could no longer hear him, but she knew that he could still hear her. She was having fun having Jeremy under her toes, knowing that he couldn't get out. She needed to go to Jeremy's room so that she could get his computer and try and figure out a way to un-shrink him using the supercomputer. She still really wanted to help Jeremy she just also enjoyed messing with him. She smiled when she rememberd she had him under her toes. Aelita took the long route to Jeremy's room, not just o mess with Jeremy but also to avoid meeting up with anyone that could sidetrack her. She knew that she would only be able to take Jeremy out when she was alone with him and she didn't want to leave him in her shoe forever. When they finally got to Jeremy's room Aelita sat down on his bed and pulled off her boot. She turned over the boot so that Jeremy would fall out on to her hand, but nothing came out. Aelita reached into the boot to find him but there was no one in there. Then she realized that Jeremy had been in her sock not just her shoe. Aelita took off her sock and saw that Jeremy was stuck to her sole. She couldn't help but laugh at Jeremy's predicament. After a few minutes of laughter, she peeled him off her sole and lied him down on her palm. He looked up at her and said,  "Aelita, you could have really hurt me! Why did you do that?"

"I'm sorry i was just trying to have a little fun..." Aelita said.

"Your fun is torturing me under your feet? Jeremy asked.

"I wasn't torturing you, I was just playing with you." Aelita said innocently.

"Even when you are playing with a doll most people use their hands not their feet." Jeremy said. "I'm not upset that you put me under your foot so much as I am that you did that without warning me and i was really, really scared. Not to mention the fact that it was disgusting. Well at least one good thing did come from this."

"What do you mean?" Aelita asked.

"Well while the life was being squeezed out me under your foot, I thought maybe the key to unlocking control to your shrinking abilities is simply to practice, and if you do happen to have the ability to make things grow it may show up while you are practicing." Jeremy explained.

"That makes sense, but how am I going to practice? I don't think may people will volunteer to be shrunken..." Aelita said

"Well i meant to use your abilities on objects, not people." Jeremy said.

"Oh ok, so you want me to just go around shrinking things?" Aelita asked.

"Not really, you can't let anyone know about these abilities, even Yumi Odd and Ulrich. We don't even want a chance of this getting out. So it'd have to be somewhere no one will look, like my room." Jermey said. "It would actually be nice for you to shrink some of my things so i could use them again, and it'd be great to have some clothes that weren't drenched in sweat from your feet."

"Ok, I could try it, but not right now ok?" Aelita said.

"Why not?" Jeremie asked.

"Well i remember that when i shrank you, the second time, even though I only shrank you another inch or two i was exhausted after. And I didn't get much sleep last night, so I want to get some energy before trying again." Aelita explained.

"Why couldn't you sleep?" Jeremy asked.

"I kept thinking about how I was gonna fix you." Aelita said.

"Huh, that reminds me of those days when I used to stay up thinking about how I was going to materialize you out of Lyoko." Jeremy said. They laughed and decided that they would take a nap before Aelita tried anything. Aelita put Jeremy down on his desk and put him computer next to him. Aelita asked him if she could use his bed so they wouldn't have to go back to her room and Jeremy told her that he couldn't use it anyway so he was fine with it. "Before you go to bed you should take off your socks to let your feet air out so they wont be as bad next time you put me under there. And I know that for some reason I'm gonna end up under there."

"Haha, I don't know what you are talking about." Aelita said sarcastically. Then she got up and took her socks off and lied down on the bed.

"Hey you forgot to bring me to with you." Jeremy said.

"Aw can't you make your own way here I'm already lying down." Aelita said.

"Fine." Jeremy said as he climbed down the desk and walked over to his huge friend. It was hard for him to believe that a few days ago this giantess was shorter than him. He didn't feel like walking all the way to her head so he just leaned up against her giant foot and fell asleep while wondering if he was ever going to be normal sized again.
