“Hi! You must be Ryan, right? Welcome to the X-Mansion! I'm Jubilee, and I'm here to help you learn how to control your powers. Mind if I come in?”

“Uh, sure, that's fine,” Ryan said to the young woman standing outside his room. She was strangely-dressed, with blue shorts and boots, yellow jacket and gloves, a red shirt, and on her forehead a pair of red visor sunglasses as wide as her face. Still, he thought she looked pretty despite the strange appearance, and if nothing else her clothes definitely made an impression.

“Great! So, what exactly are your powers?” Jubilee asked, walking inside and taking a seat on Ryan's bed.

“It's... shrinking.”

“Shrinking? Neat! So you make stuff smaller?”Jubilee casually took off her boots and kicked her bare feet out over the floor, splaying her toes to let the fresh air blow through them. “Ahhh! So nice...”

“Um, not exactly. I can't shrink other things, or at least I don't think so; I only shrink myself, and it's never on purpose. It kinda just happens at random.”

“Oh. Well, that's still pretty neat! But you say you can't control it at all? I bet that's gotta be really annoying. How small do you usually get?”

“Smaller than an inch.”

“Really? Wow, that's so tiny! You'd be just like an itty-bitty little bug! Hmm... Can you think of anything that there was in common between all those different times your powers activated? Anything that might have triggered it?”

“N-no, nothing ,” Ryan said. The truth was, he actually did have a pretty good idea of what caused him to shrink, but he didn't want to say that it was caused by attraction; it was too embarrassing.

“Try thinking harder. I'm sure there must be something you're missing; these things are never completely random. If you learn what it is then you'll find the key to controlling your powers, and then you'll be able to shrink and grow back to normal whenever you want. And I'll get to see how cute you look when you're all tiny!”

As soon as Jubilee said that, Ryan knew he was in for another shrinking episode. Sure enough, only a few seconds had passed when he felt that familiar tingling sensation that he had come to dread so much spreading out from his chest to envelop his whole body. Then he could only watch as the world started to grow around him. In no time at all his head reached no further up than the bed, and when his shrinking finished after just half a minute, he was standing on the floor at a mere quarter of an inch tall, while jubilee looked at him wide-eyed from above.

“Wow!” she uttered, standing up and walking up to him, the floor shaking with her every step. When she stopped, her feet were resting on the floor right in front of him, filling the air he breathed with a strong cheesy smell that made his eyes water. “You really are tiny! Looks like my wish came true. Did you shrink for me, little guy?”

“No, it happened on its own; I couldn't do anything to stop it.”

“Then, did you notice anything in particular that might have triggered it this time?” Ryan shook his head. “Looks like it's gonna take more time for us to figure this out, then. But, it's a good start! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to work on it much until the next time it triggers. Say, how long are you usually stuck at that size?”

“Usually I'm back to normal when I wake up the next morning.”

“So you're gonna be tiny all day? Sounds rough. Don't worry, though, I'll keep you safe with me until you're back to your normal size!”

“Y-you don't have to do that, really. I'm fine on my own.”

“Nonsense! I'm responsible for your safety, and I'm not letting anything happen to you. You're coming with me, little guy!” Jubilee leaned over to pick him up, her huge gloved fingers seizing his tiny body and easily lifting him up to her face, where her massive eyes peered down at him. “But where should I keep you? It's gotta be somewhere you won't fall off from, and where you won't get hurt. Maybe... Oh, I know!”

Jubilee walked back to the bed and, crouching, she lowered Ryan to the opening of what looked to him like a huge vertical tunnel, which he recognized as one of her boots once the smell reached him. Before he could object, Jubilee's fingers let go of him and he fell right down the shaft of her boot to land on the soft, humid insole. While he was picking himself up, the boot suddenly moved, causing him to roll onto his back, and as he looked up through the opening he saw Jubilee's grinning face.

“Hope you're comfy! I'm gonna be busy for a while so you're gonna have to stay down there for now, but I'll check up on you when I get the chance. Anyway, see ya later!” With that her face disappeared and was soon replaced with a massive bare foot, house-sized toes wiggling to make way as it slid into the boot. Ryan got up and tried to run away from Jubilee's foot, but it was much faster than him and soon the sweaty flesh was barreling over him, sliding him along the boots insole even as it smothered him under countless tons of warm, sweaty flesh.

Jubilee's toes wiggled as her foot settled into the boot. Focusing on her sole, she could just barely feel Ryan down there, fidgeting underneath her like a tiny little bug. She took a while to enjoy that feeling before putting her other boot on and leaving his room.

Ryan would go on to spend the next several hours inside Jubilee's boot, flattened under her immense weight, his tiny body buried between her soft foot and the insole, all the while his surroundings kept getting hotter and more humid. Sweat seeped off her foot and onto him and his clothes nonstop, soaking him entirely and even threatening to drown him as it filled the tight space.

After some time, when Jubilee was sitting down, he was able to get himself unstuck from her sweaty sole and crawl out from under her foot. Just as he did, though, Jubilee got up again, and when she started walking he was thrown all around inside her boot, her every step bouncing him between her foot and the walls, until eventually he landed between her toes.

As the tiny mutant wriggled around, trying to free himself from her toes, Jubilee felt something moving down there and curled her toes reflexively, smothering him between them, never once suspecting that it was him she gripped between her toes. Really, she was too focused on other stuff to even remember that she had left him in her boot, so she assumed it was just some piece of lint that she felt, and she started unconsciously toying with him, wiggling her toes to roll him between them, or pinning him under them to amuse herself by sliding him around her insole. Ryan tried to resist, but her toes were much too strong for him; even her little toe was twice his height, and if it weren't for his powers protecting him it could have easily crushed him like a bug all by itself.

Ryan was overwhelmed. Even though he'd shrunk down many times before, he had always hidden away so that no one would find him while he was small, and he'd never been this close to another person while shrunken down. He felt so weak, so defenseless, unable to fight back against anything Jubilee did. It scared him, but at the same time a small part of him thought it was exciting in a strange way; it almost wanted for him to stay this small and to have her keep toying with him all day long.

At last, after a long day of helping out the younger students at the X-Mansion, Jubilee arrived at her room, tired but satisfied at having done a good job today. She took off her boots and aired out her feet, and as she splayed her toes, Ryan fell off and landed on the floor, right in front of her massive, towering soles. The tiny teen couldn't help but gawk at them, taking in their immense size and power. He felt so small standing in their shadow, especially with Jubilee not even knowing he was there. He really was just an insignificant little bug to her now, completely beneath her notice.

After resting on her bed for a while, Jubilee got back up and almost stepped on Ryan again. The tiny boy had ended up right between her toes, shaking from the scare but thankfully safe from her foot. Then Jubilee went over to her closet and started changing into her nightwear, first taking off all her clothes and putting them away.

Ryan turned his back to her as she was changing, not so much out of respect for her privacy but because he feared that if he saw her with her clothes off he would shrink again. He'd never shrunk down more than once in a single day before, but it was better to be safe about that stuff, considering this was already almost the smallest he'd ever been.

He only turned back when he heard her walking towards him, and he looked at her just in time to see her immense foot swinging towards him, filling him with fear. Ryan turned to ran as fast as he could go, trying to get away before she could step on him, but he was much too slow and her giant foot slammed down on him just a fraction of a second later, instantly flattening him. And though her foot went up shortly after, Ryan remained stuck to her sole, fastened to it by a thin layer of sweat and dust. The tiny mutant went up together with her foot, and was swung forward at incredible speeds before being slammed back onto the floor beneath her foot.

The same thing would happen a couple more times before Jubilee finally climbed onto her bed and sat with her back against the headboard. Crossing her legs, she grabbed a book she'd been reading and flipped through its pages before stopping on the latest chapter. Meanwhile, Ryan was now caught between both her feet, which rubbed softly against each other while she immersed herself in her book, unaware of his plight as she rolled him up and down her sole.

Eventually, though, Ryan was left near her toes, and after taking a moment to recover his strengths, he climbed up to reach the towering digits, giving a sign of relief once he pulled himself up between her second and third toes. From there he looked out at the rest of her body, seeing it stretch before him like some colossal monument, almost a landscape in its own right.

She looked super cute now that she was out of that bulky yellow jacket she'd been wearing earlier, and he couldn't help but stare at her trim and fit body in her blue shorts and tank top, dwelling especially on her chest and midriff, but when he realized what he was doing he quickly shook his head to clear those thoughts away before they made him shrink. Still, he figured he'd be at constant risk of shrinking as long as he was around someone so pretty, so he hurried to try and get her attention by shouting and waving at her, and when that didn't work, he started rubbing her toes so she would feel him. She did eventually notice some annoying sensation down on her toes, and to deal with it she squeezed them tight and rubbed them together, smothering Ryan in her flesh. While trapped between them, Ryan fought to free himself, which only made the annoying sensation she felt persist so she would keep wiggling her toes.

Eventually, though, when the feeling wouldn't go away, she decided to look at what was causing it. “Ryan? Oh, man, I'm so sorry! I totally forgot about you!” she said, plucking him out from between her toes. “Are you okay? How long were you trying to get my attention just now?”

“Only a little while,” he said, looking up at her face. Goodness, she really was pretty, with her frizzy black hair, brown eyes, and especially her plush red lips. He couldn't help but wonder what it might feel like if she kissed him at this size. “And I'm fine, thanks for asking.”

“Oh, that's good. I see you're still the same size as before. I guess that means you haven't figured out how to grow back yet, right?” Ryan nodded. “That's what I thought. Well, I can't say I'm sorry, since at least this way I get to have you all cute and tiny. You don't mind keeping me company a bit longer, do you?”

“Uh, n-no, I think that's f-fine. I... I...” Ryan strained with the effort of keeping his feelings under control, but it was no use; from the moment she called him “cute” he had already felt another bout of shrinking coming on; it started just a couple seconds later, and soon it had left him at half of his previous size, smaller even than most ants.

Jubilee watched him in amazement at first, but then she smiled and got all excited. “No way! You got even smaller! This is so cool! You're so tiny I can barely even make out your face. Man, I must seem huge to you; I bet I look as big as a mountain!” She leaned in close, so close that Ryan could see his reflection in her eyeball as she stared at him. “I wonder what made you shrink. Do you have any idea?” Ryan shook his head. “I wonder if it has anything to do with my feet. I remember I you shrank the first time only a little while after I took off my boots. But you didn't shrink while you were in my boots so maybe that's not it? Let's try it and see to make sure!”

Jubilee moved Ryan closer to her feet, which were now resting sideways on the bed with their soles held against each other. She held him up over them, and when she let go, he fell slipped down her soles until he was firmly wedged between them, barely able to move. Before he could try to get out, she pressed her soles firmly together and started sliding them back and forth against each other, rolling him around between them as easily as if he had been a tiny pebble.

Knowing by now that there was nothing he could do about it, Ryan surrendered himself to the might of Jubilee's feet, letting her toy with him as she pleased.

After rolling him between her soles for a bit, she then moved her feet apart and looked to see if he had shrunk any smaller, but when she saw that he was still the same size, she pressed down on him with her finger, pushing him deep into her foot flesh. Under that massive finger he was slid all over her sole, from her heel to her toes, and even between them. She basically used him as a tool to clean her foot, gathering up all her sweat and dirt and even a bit of toe jam on his tiny body until he was totally caked in the stuff. He groaned in disgust at the smell and at the feeling of it on his body, but even so there was some part of him that was getting all excited about it and for a while he feared that it would make him shrink even smaller. Thankfully, he was still the same size when she moved her finger away and left him to pick himself up on her sole and turn to look at her immense looming figure.

“Still nothing. I guess it doesn't have anything to do with my feet, then. Hmm...” Jubilee stared at the tiny boy intently, trying to figure out what else there had been in common between the two times he'd shrunk. As she tried to think of an answer, she idly scrunched her foot and wiggled her toes, amusing herself by watching how those minor movements transformed the surface of her sole, causing Ryan to be swallowed up in the folds of her skin, or forcing him to cling helplessly to her skin so he wouldn't be thrown off.

“He's just so adorable,” she thought as she looked at him. “Wait, that's it! I remember both times you shrank it was right after I called you cute! So then, if I call you cute again, you'll probably shrink. Or that's the theory, anyway. How about we try it out. Come on, won't you shrink for me, you little cutie?”

Even knowing what was coming and steeling himself for it, Jubilee calling him a “cutie”, especially in that tone, still left Ryan so flustered that he couldn't stop himself from shrinking and he ended up losing half of his remaining height again.

“Oh, my! You're so tiny I can barely even tell you're a person now. Now my foot by itself must look like a mountain compared to little-old-you. And my toes...” she carefully picked up the flea-sized boy between her fingernails and dropped him on her second toe. “My toes look like giants next to you!”

Jubilee laughed as a slight wiggle of her toes made Ryan cling fearfully to her skin, trying not to be flung off by her mighty toes. It amused her to no end seeing how scared he was of just her toes, and yet how desperately he sought their protection. After a while she curled her toes and engulfed him in her skin, leaving him trapped in a tiny wrinkle under the crook of her toe. Even focusing all she could on that part of her foot, she could just barely feel him fidgeting around—any smaller and she wouldn't be able to feel him at all. Then he'd be like a tiny little germ living on her body. 

That idea got her so excited; she just had to make him even smaller! “Won't you shrink again for me now, cutie?” she said, and was disappointed when he remained the same size, even after calling him cute again. “What's the matter? Is that the smallest you can get? Or are you trying not to shrink? Or maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's not just calling you cute that makes you shrink. Maybe the thing that makes you shrink is how warm and fuzzy you felt when I called you cute all those times. Isn't that right, little cutie?” Jubilee smiled warmly at the tiny boy. “Well, Ryan, how about this; if you shrink smaller for me, I promise you'll by my very special little boy forever. What do you say? Will you be my little cutie?”

Jubilee's smile so beguiled Ryan that he didn't offer up the least bit of resistance when he felt the next bout of shrinking coming on. He surrendered himself to it, and quickly started shrinking at an incredible rate, shrinking until the sole around him was transformed into a whole landscape of vast mountain ranges and giant lakes of sweat, extending as far as his eyes could see. In the sky, Jubilee's face loomed a large as the moon, her eyes twinkling in delight as they looked at the spot where he had shrunk out of visibility.

“Thanks, Ryan! You really made my day!” She said, her voice blasting over him like the shockwave of a powerful explosion. As she scrunched her sole, Ryan watched in fear and awe as the whole landscape was transformed by the simple gesture, and his puny mind almost broke trying to comprehend her amazing power. “And now, a very special reward for my very special boy.” Jubilee moved her foot closer and Ryan watched her face growing larger and larger in the sky, her lips in particular rushing straight towards him. Then her lower lip fell on him, and as he was smothered between her sole and her lip, he felt an incredible warmth come over him and started shrinking yet again.

“Mwah! Good night now, Ryan. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow,” she said, unaware that the tiny boy was now rapidly shrinking down to nothingness. Already her toes alone were the size of planets compared to him, and they were still getting larger by the second. Soon, he knew, they would be as big as suns, and the thought alone excited him so much that it pushed him to shrink ever smaller, hoping that at some point this foot would become his whole universe. He might never stop shrinking and he was totally fine with that; just as long as he could spend the rest of his insignificant life on the infinite Goddess that was Jubilee.
