"And now we get to me," Ryan said, with Sammi carrying the translation for Lorelei. Lucy returned, wiping her eyes.

"Now, it all started when we were doing a group project together, about 14 years ago . . ."

\14 Years Ago//////

Ryan Adams ran his fingers through his hair. He was at that Cruz girl's house, and while she had said the bathroom was just upstairs, he'd opened three different doors, none of which led to a bathroom. 

On his third attempt, he found the girl's bedroom, which he would have left immediately, we're it not for something very specific on the desk that caught his attention. 

A six-inch tall brunette, styling her hair with a doll-sized comb, clothed only in a handkerchief, as she'd been bathing recently, most likely in the sink just beside the desk.

The tiny girl chittered something, sounding quite a bit like a squirrel asking a question. 

When no response was received, she looked in Ryan's direction and froze, before screaming.

*** *** ***

Lucy Young had been taking a quick bath in the sink she'd had Naomi get installed in her room, preferring that to walking all the way down the hall to get herself clean.

While sometimes it was nice to have Naomi clean her with those long, deft artist's fingers, Lucy liked feeling like she wasn't totally helpless, and taking her own baths occasionally helped with that.

The seventeen-year-old heard Naomi's door open, but the footsteps sounded heavier than Naomi's. "Gloria, is that you?" Lucy asked- while no one besides Naomi understood her, Gloria claimed she was making headway into learning the squirrel-like noises everyone else heard when she spoke.

When this didn't garner a response, Lucy turned towards the door, almost about to be mad at one of the Cruz family for lingering in doorways- but it wasn't a Cruz. 

It was a blond boy, with large brown eyes.

Lucy screamed, before internally reminding herself that Naomi was an out-and-out lesbian, and not bisexual like herself. Naomi wouldn't have gotten a boyfriend, especially only a few months after Pria shattered her heart . . . again.

Lucy looked up at the relative titan in interest. While not exactly stunning, the young man was reasonably attractive, especially considering that Lucy was a sucker for expressive eyes (one of many reasons she had fallen for Naomi).

If things were different . . .

*** *** ***

Ryan looked down at the tiny girl, and was unable to get the thought out of his head that she was quite possibly the single most attractive girl he'd ever seen.

"Uh . . . hi. I'm Ryan. Ryan Adams. I go to class with Naomi," he said sheepishly. 

A chittering response met Ryan's ears, and a translation in a familiar voice came from behind him. "She says that her name is Lucy Young, and she's my friend and . . . pet? Really, Lucy?"

More chittering, and Ryan turned around to face his dark-skinned classmate, who was adjusting her falling glasses. "You shouldn't introduce yourself as my pet, Lucy. It just sounds wrong. I don't own you."

Ryan looked back and forth between the tall-ish girl and her incomprehensibly tiny friend, unable to process this. 

*** *** ***

"Naomi, you feed me, you pet me, and your parents just made you responsible for carrying me to the bathroom. I live in your room. When I'm not in bed with you, I sleep in a box with a pillow in it- Naomi, there is no denying I'm your pet," Lucy said, taking the title of 'Naomi's Pet' as a badge of honor. "Only difference is, I love you more than any dog ever will, I'm a hell of a lot cuter than a cat, and I know better than to wreck your stuff."

Naomi's eyes were downcast. "I'm working on the box thing," she said, embarassed. "Besides, I still don't own you. You're your own person."

Lucy shook her head. "I'm completely dependent on you to survive the day! If you aren't my owner, then you're my mom- which makes the fact that I find you sexy really fucking creepy."

Naomi blushed. 

"Hey!" Ryan yelled. "I'm still here!"

*** *** *** 

Naomi's reactions to the chittering meant that she could understand Lucy, so Ryan decided to approach her. "Naomi," he said slowly. "Why can you understand Lucy, but I can't?"

Naomi stepped back, to loud chittering from Lucy. "Because it's my fault she's that small. I shrunk her."

((((((Now))))))

Lorelei shook her head. "Naomi just didn't learn, did she?"

Lucy laughed. "She still hasn't, Lorelei. She's lucky that things have gone as well as they have."

Ryan looked annoyed. "Excuse me, but did I interrupt your storytime? No. Don't interrupt mine."

\14 Years Ago//////

Ryan took a half-step back. "You're . . . Unbound?"

Naomi nodded. "Please don't tell anyone," she pleaded.

Ryan stopped in thought. "Can . . . you shrink me, too?"

Naomi looked confused, and Lucy let out a sound like laughter. "Why would you want me to shrink you?"

*** *** ***

"Isn't it obvious?" Lucy asked, still laughing. "He wants what I have. He wants to be your pet."

"I want Lucy," Ryan said, extremely seriously. "She's hot, and I wanna be small enough to date her."

Lucy's mouth opened and closed without a sound, much like a fish. She blushed, imagining having her own harem inside Naomi's bedroom. 

Naomi raised an eyebrow, and glanced at Lucy. "Well? What do you say? It's not like you have many other options," she added teasingly. 

I'm pretty sure I have one, and that's all I really needed, Lucy thought. Regardless, she nodded- there was no way she was turning down someone who actually wanted her. "Well, it's not like I can have you, Naomi," Lucy responded, teasing just as much. "Might as well."

*** *** ***

"Right," Naomi said. "If I do this, the most time you can spend at her size is 3 days- seventy-two hours of doll-sized fun before this becomes permanent." She looked at Ryan, deadly seriousness in her eyes (and, in his peripheral vision, he saw Lucy squirming). "Past those first three days, you can beg and plead as much you like, but I won't be able to fix you."

Ryan raised an eyebrow. "So . . . I have three days to change my mind if you shrink me."

Naomi nodded.

"Good enough for me," Ryan said. "Do it now!"

Naomi laughed. "Well, not now. I seem to remember that we have a group project to work on."

"Can- can we work in here?" Ryan asked nervously.

((((((Now))))))

"And he proceeded to feel me up the rest of that afternoon," Lucy said grumpily. 

"This again," Ryan grumbled, "I've said sorry for that a dozen times!"

"Time out," Lorelei said, holding her hands in the shape of a T. "You two dated?"

"Briefly," Lucy and Ryan said simultaneously, Lucy's tone was caustic and blunt, while Ryan's was considerably more embarassed and hesitant. 

"What happened?" The titanic redhead asked, eyes sparkling with curiosity. 

"Erm . . ."

\14 Years Ago//////

Lucy wrapped her arms around Ryan's shoulders. "What are you thinking about?"

"Naomi," he sighed sadly.

"Ugh, I know," Lucy said, her tone one of barely disguised lust. "I still don't know why you chose me over her, but I'm glad you did," she said, offering him a kiss on the forehead. 

Ryan's face lit up. "What if I didn't have to?"

"What?" Lucy asked, wondering where this train of thought was headed.

"Well, Naomi is so much bigger than us . . . and you yourself said that we should keep her happy . . ." Ryan said, smiling widely. 

"Uh-huh," Lucy nodded, giving Ryan the go-ahead to continue. 

"The two of us could always take shifts as her sex toys," Ryan finished. 

Lucy laughed roughly. "I've tried to convince her it's okay to just shove me headfirst inside her, but she seems to think it'd be 'too dangerous'. I mean, I think I'm tougher than that."

Ryan got a mischievous look in his eye. "Leave that part to me."

\That Evening//////

Naomi lounged on her bed, with Ryan standing between her legs. "What's up, Romeo? You looking for Lucy?"

"The two of us had an idea," Ryan started.

"Oh, no," Naomi responded, smirking. 

"Well, we both think you're hot," Ryan started, enjoying the tinge of a blush at Naomi's cheeks, "and we were hoping that we could . . . all three of us . . ."

Naomi caught on, and blushed deeper. "Have you even . . . the two of you?"

"We try to save it for when you're out," Ryan said sheepishly. "So? What do you say?"

Naomi was incredibly flustered, waving her hands in several directions at once. "What would I even- I mean, I'm too big to . . . Er . . ."

Ryan grinned. "You don't really have to do much of anything. Let us have our fun between your tits, we take turns spelunking inside you . . ."

"Is that what this is about?" Naomi asked, her voice strained, so much blood in her face that it was unlikely there was any anywhere else in her body. "Lucy tried to get me to put her . . . in me . . . what's the big deal with being my sex toy?"

"It's a hot concept?" Ryan shrugged.

"You could die!" Naomi shrieked, unable to moderate the volume of her voice. "Did you pay any attention in Bio? The vagina has extremely powerful muscles, designed to squeeze- if you're in there, your ribs would all break, for sure!"

Ryan laughed. "Come on, Naomi, even if it did kill me, I'd die happy!"

Naomi nervously sat up, and rushed out of the room before the conversation could continue. 

Lucy climbed onto the bed from her hiding place beneath it, before smacking Ryan in the head. "Leave it to you, you said. You didn't accomplish anything more than I did, except maybe scaring Naomi completely off the concept!"

"I didn't- Ryan began 

"You did! I always made sure to tell her I'd be okay," Lucy said, angry, "that she wouldn't need to worry! Now, she'll be on eggshells around us! If we had let the idea go, she might have eventually gotten curious, but now she'll immediately shoot the idea down by reminding herself we'd die! Great going, jackass."

((((((Now))))))

"Not too long after that, Naomi eventually compromised," Lucy said. "While she didn't let me inside her, she let me feel around down there, and I slipped my arm in."

"I saw the whole thing, I got jealous, and we broke up," Ryan admitted.

"So," Lorelei said, smirking, "Do you two still fantasize about-"

"Hell yes," the six-inch occupants of the dollhouse-birdcage said simultaneously. 

"But it's a bad idea," Lucy said. "From you handling me rougher than Naomi would, I realized that Naomi was right the whole time- I'd never survive a trip inside her."

"You could with my help," Lorelei smirked. 

Lucy and Ryan climbed over one another to get to Lorelei, much to Sammi's amusement.
