A glass cup would be placed down on a counter top, a science classroom that was nearly empty, one that consisted of two individuals, a guy and a girl. Henry and Hailey, ironically, both names starting with the same first letter, were working together as partners on a science project. They decided to hang back with the permission of the professor to use the lab to their own expense, as long as it contributed to the project they had been assigned. Hailey was just an average girl; she wanted to major in the science field just as much as Henry did. Henry was a great guy, short, but he held his weight on the projects assigned. Together, they were good at working together. Hailey overall liked the guy, maybe a little cute; it was funny sometimes to stare down at him as he only stood slightly taller than her shoulders. She wasn’t the tallest girl, not compared to her roommates. Regardless, this project had to be done; she made sure of it.

“How is it going, Henry? Make sure not to mix the wrong chemical. I don’t want to die in a place like this.” She said genuinely with concern.

Henry was confident with his work, sharing the same interest as Hailey when it came to college work. He tried to impress Haily more than once, admittedly feeling something for her. Maybe he was just desperate; it could just be that. He had never had a relationship before; he well knew more than enough that Hailey was single. There were other girls too, she lived with, Mackenna, now that was a girl he’d climb for. Henry was not the tallest, slightly below average. Hailey was taller than her, by no surprise, but Mackenna was a standing five-nine from what he could tell. Her chest was rather at his eye level, man, he loved being short, but it made it hard to make moves with some intimidation in place. Mackenna was a volleyball girl; he was just a nerd who loved to play with chemicals. It was an opposite attraction with one another. Regardless, with Hailey, it was better than no female interaction; maybe his mind was in the wrong with this mindset. Regardless, he shifted his head over to Hailey, who asked with concern as he held two test tubes together with yellow and green liquids inside each.

He nodded. “Oh, trust me, Hailey.” He pointed at himself. “I got this.” He said with a cocky smirk.

Hailey rolled her eyes, leaving a slight crack of a smile as she leaned on the table. “…Right…” She chuckled.

Henry felt in power for making Hailey laugh; he wasn’t a jock or anything, maybe a clown, in ways of making a girl laugh. Maybe that’s all it took to be liked. Either way, he began to put the two liquids together. Hailey leaned away as she was still seated on her stool. She stared with caution with her muddy brown eyes as she flipped the brown ponytail of hers to the side of her left shoulder, as it dangled over her leather jacket.

“You sure this is a good idea? Could you at least do it away from me?” Hailey would say.

Hailey would not know how this project would conclude. She did have a lot of trust in Henry, as he did know what he was doing more than she did, admittedly, most of the time. She remained cautious as she leaned away in case the chemicals would react. She watched as the color changed darker, and it seemed everything went right. Henry continued to hold the test tube of the discolored liquid inside, unaware if Henry used the right chemicals. Just as she stood up, Henry would remark, and then the unimaginable happened.

Henry raised a brow. “This test tube is feeling a little hot-“

POP

To By surprise, the test tube would explode out of nowhere. Fortunately, by how the test tube shattered, it didn’t create much shrapnel by the looks of it, as it only broke into two pieces as it tumbled on the floor with the liquid splashed around. Hailey was not involved in any crossfire, although Henry, on the other hand, got it on his arms and shirt. Hailey was concerned, of course. She shot up, approaching Henry with her arms and hands extended out, but avoiding touching him as she knew well more than enough not to touch a random mixed chemical.

“Oh my God, Henry, are you okay!?” She shouted.

Henry was surprised by the reaction; the test tube would explode into two just like that. Did he use the wrong chemical? Or did he do a step completely wrong? He was not sure what went wrong; regardless, the chemical splashed on his shirt and the bare skin of his arms. The liquid was hot before, but it didn’t burn him by surprise. He was weirded out. What kind of chemical did he mix? He took a step back as Hailey approached. It was nice to see she cared about him.

Henry nodded, looking at himself. “Uh, yeah? I’m not burning or anything, I’m not sure what happened…” He mused to himself.

“A-Are you sure you’re fine though? We gotta get you to the shower real quick, we don’t know what’s on you!” Haily suggested.

Henry looked over at the yellow shower with hesitation. “Uh, I’m fine, I don’t need it! I’m sure we can just get some water and towels, Hailey.”

Henry didn’t know if he needed to shower, so he could wait until he got to his dorm. In reality, he was being a wuss to shower with his clothes on. He would play it safe as he was trusting himself that he only needed some water to wash off his arms. Hailey was quite dismissive of herself as she looked around. He watched her go to the paper towel roller and cranked it on. There was no towel, she looked at him, looking angry.

“This fucking school, I swear. Okay, sit tight, I’ll run to the bathroom and get some paper towels, okay!?” Hailey insisted, walking herself out of the classroom.

Henry nodded, disappointed by the results of the paper towel he wanted to receive. The bathrooms were also not the closest, so he knew he had to wait a moment. He sat on a stool as he waited for half a minute. He started to feel something tingly. Crap, it was the fucking liquid, wasn’t it? He grew some worry, getting a hot flash from his legs and feet as he began to sweat. His anxiety was flaring as he hoped he didn’t have something go wrong. He looked at his shirt, and it felt tighter. Then, he started to feel yet more tingly as a minute passed. He took a stand, unsure what to do. Shower? Call for help? Hailey would come back soon, wouldn’t she?

“Fuck, what did I do?” Henry said to himself.

As he stood, he felt slightly faint, and a dizzy spell would unfold as he felt the world around him begin to feel like it was getting bigger. What was happening? He felt his shoes, underwear, and pants no longer fit him. It was happening at quite a rapid pace. Suddenly, he fell on his knees, staring at the floor as the tiles began to feel as if they were getting closer. He continued to crawl towards the door. Finally, he was finding himself coming across the two broken pieces of the test tube with some liquid splashed around. He was shrunken down to a rapid height.

“H-Hailey! S-Somebody!” He would yell, unsure at this state if he could gain attention.

Finally, he was free from the lower portion of his clothing as they were discarded completely from him. He was practically naked; ironically, the shirt he wore was the only clothing piece that stuck with him. Not exactly a favor for him, although. Here he was, tiny, not sure what to do now. If he thought he was short already, he had another thing coming. He began to stand; the dizzy spell was no longer in effect, and he felt completely fine. He took a stand, his bare feet feeling the cold yet filthy tile flooring. He gave a stare around, eying the lab tables that would tower over him just as the stools did. He put his hands on his head, gripping his brown hair. What was going on?

“H-Hello! A-Anyone?” He felt like he was dreaming. “H-Hailey?”

The realization had set in, he had shrunken, Hailey had no idea, right? He had to figure out what to do from here. He stood next to the test tube that was shattered into two, minding the liquid that splashed around. He looked behind, his clothes being on the floor too. There was more than one sign to tell what happened. He was not sure where to go from here. He had to wait for it; there was no choice. There was a sensation on the floor; someone was coming, almost like it was a gigantic beast. Quickly, he figured it out; he wasn’t stupid. It was Hailey. How small did he even become? The size of an ant? Some Lego figurine? He hated to find out that Hailey was coming; the ground would quake and leave an undesirable sound. He was baffled by the sight too, the liquid that splashed on his skin and the tile flooring would dissolve completely.

A voice called out, “Henry, I got some paper towels,” Hailey said.  “Henry? Where did you go?” She asked out loud.

Hailey was urgent to get the paper towel, to the point that she was even running down the halls. Fortunately, the girls' bathroom was stocked up, and she brought back multiple rolls that she stripped away from the paper towel holder. She glanced around as she entered the classroom, unsure where Henry was. It was almost like he dissipated. She looked over to where the accident took place; the lab tables from her perspective would hinder her from seeing where Henry had shrunk at first. Finally, she skimmed down the aisle, noticing there was a pile of clothes on the floor. Wait, were those Henry’s clothes?

“Uh, Henry…?” She glanced around once more. “…Are you naked right now?” She asked, unsure if he was hiding somewhere.

Henry would observe that the normal average girl would no longer be average; she was stunning in unimaginable ways. At first, she was nothing more than a blur by the door; progressively, she would approach with greater detail. The brown knee boots she wore, he could not break contact with them. Sure, he didn’t mind feet, actually, he had a thing for girl shoes for some reason, they were hot or could come off sexy. Hailey, yeah, she had some nice boots. But it also came to his mind that those boots could kill him, couldn’t they? Hailey began to speak, her voice. It was loud and full of authority. She always had a chill yet feminine voice, now? It sounded like she was a God speaking over him. It was empowering and yet intimidating in many ways. He didn’t think he could see her face clearly from where he stood; that’s how tall she was. As she continued to approach, it was steady, slow, yet fast. It felt like reality, with the sense that time had changed completely. Regardless, he had to get help, so he began to jump up and down by the broken test tube.

“Hailey! HEY! Down here! I-I’m kind of naked but not in a way you expect it! You need to see me down here!”

Hailey continued to walk, unaware of Henry as he would try to grasp her attention. She would then place the paper towel on the countertop of the lab table, putting her hands in her pockets as she would place the boots of her heels together as she stared around. She really was at a complete loss about what was happening. She would then stare down, noticing the reflective glass of the test tube that was broken into two. She would bend a knee, she would grasp a piece of it, and look at it. Overlooking what was trying to get her attention. Crazy, this really never happened before. Something caught her eye, although it was as if something or someone was getting her attention. Here she noticed something on the floor, humanoid, like a bug, but it wasn’t a bug. How she overlooked it, she was not sure. Her eyes widened, her lips parted as she was in awe, leaning even more forward as she grabbed a hold of the side of her ponytail.

Hailey gasped. “H-Henry!” She yelled. “W-W-What the fuck!?”

Henry would watch as Hailey would stand right in front of him. He would crane his head up, and it started to hurt the back of his neck. She stood tall, stood high in the clouds as she placed the paper towel on the counter that he could never reach at this scale. He observed her deeply, rather too deeply, gawking. He stared at her boots, sexy as they were, as he knew it would be a challenge to climb them alone. His wiener would twitch; he felt something from this, but he knew deep down now was not the time. But he didn’t stop, he continued to stare beyond the boots as her legs were covered in nylon, then a denim pair of jeans, and the jacket she wore. Staring between her thighs, a slight gap between them, he knew there was a bigger prize underneath those shorts, the biggest hole he could ever imagine. He shook his head, noticing as she began to look down, her head tilted.

“H-Hey down here, Hailey!” He would yell as she would kneel, grabbing the broken test tube. “W-Wait, can’t you see me!?”

Despite all the attempts Henry tried to gain attention, he failed. It would start to emphasize how small he was and how he could be overlooked. That, or Hailey was not being very observant around her. Regardless, he was now more in danger if she didn’t notice where he stood. But then she looked over at him, just when he stopped jumping. He gave a few more waves with his arms and hands. Finally, the girl had noticed him. Henry was thrilled, yet quite terrified at the same time. Hailey was not the same girl she once was. Innocent, now, dangerously innocent. Despite how loud her voice was with her yell, he covered one ear, trying to have a conversation with her.

“Yes, it’s me! Oh, boy, I’m so glad you noticed me-“

“-I can barely hear you, oh my God. What the fuck? Wh-Why are you so small!” She began to freak out

“H-Hailey, I’m trying to talk to-“

“Oh my God, we’re fucked. Oh God, what do we do!? What do I do!?” She continued to ramble on about Henry.

Hailey would freak out; she was stunned, terrified. Henry had been shrunken down, and even worse, he was naked. Fortunately, with her current fears, she would not try to gawk at his naked form or notice it in detail. She barely heard him. She couldn’t tell how small he was, but he was small enough to be held by her mere fingers. She had to try to calm herself, analyze the situation, and proceed forward. At the very least, Henry was unharmed, alive and well, but very small in size, where he could die if he were left alone.

“Okay, breathe, Hailey, everything will be fine…” She sighed, calming herself down with a breathing practice. “Don’t freak out, Henry. I don’t know what happened, but we’ll figure it out. Just stop freaking out!”

Henry, ironically, was not freaking out as much as Hailey was. He was defeated as Hailey kept talking over him. He kept his arms over his head, trying to relax, as he was still shaken up about this whole event. Slowly, he took a few steps forward, close to her but treading lightly not to get too close. Hailey was having a panic attack, and Henry wanted to comfort her, but it seemed hard to do at this scale.

“H-Hey Hailey, I’m fine, perfectly fine! Stop freaking out!” He yelled, giving her a wave and a forced smile. “Everything is very fine for the most part!”

Hailey continued to stare down at her friend, who was now small. She was already trying to figure out what the professor was going to say or if anyone else had found out about this. Hailey relaxed, seeing that Henry was fine, walking close to her. Although it was a bit too close as he was approaching pretty close to her knee. Still, she kept it there, unsure what he was planning to do. He tried to talk as far as she could tell, not able to hear clearly. She wasn’t going to allow this guy to climb on him. Slowly, she was hesitant as she would slowly use her index and thumb and grab Henry and lift him slowly.

Henry would continue to walk up to her as he noticed her knee. Wow, it was massive for what it was. The stitching of the nylon was strangely in greater detail than before. Able to see how it was stitched in what direction, and seeing her bare flesh underneath it, it was weirdly captivating. Before he could do anything else, she began to reach down for him. He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea; he was just starting to adapt to walking to begin with. He held his hands out, slowly shaking his head.

“H-Hailey, this isn’t a good-“ Her fingers would latch onto him and lift him. “IDEA!” He screamed from the ascent.

Hailey would lift the minuscule body; he was so weightless yet so tiny. He was like a toy, a Lego figurine. It was completely surreal to her and anyone regarding having a tiny man in the grasp of their mere fingers. Henry was not happy, not the slightest, squirming and freaking out. Hailey kept a firm grip on him, slowly standing up as she would bring him up to the table next to her, and place a pile of paper towels. Hailey began to lower herself, being eye level with Henry and the table.

“I-I don’t know what to say. Like, how, how did this happen, Henry? What did you do?” She asked.

Henry was adapting with the ascent; his stomach dropped, and his heart would race. He felt like his body was going faint and out of control, as if he were ascending inside an airplane with no seatbelt. Fortunately, it was a quick session; Hailey did not have a long interest to keep holding him as her hand was most definitely shaky. He was placed on yet another surface, one that was black and limited in access. At least he was safer. He thought he was safer. He looked around, and the objects around him were bigger. He stared over at Hailey’s brown bag as objects spilled out of it, such as a few pens and pencils, a ruler, and notebooks. He shifted towards Hailey, who got eye level with him. At last, able to see her face clearly, perhaps too clearly. It was kind of scary how detailed she looked. To her eyes and eyeliner, the brows to her nose. Sheesh, he could pop zits off her if he had to.

Henry began to walk towards her. “God, you’re huge.” He said in awe. “I-I don’t know, I thought I did everything step by step.” He said truthfully.

Hailey leaned in a little more, tilting her head to the side to shift her ear pointed to him. “Okay, I can hear you better at least. So you said you did it all cor-correctly? God, what the fuck.” She shook her head.

“Look, I dunno, we gotta get this fixed. Quickly, too.” He suggested. “So we’ll have to get the Pro-“

“-No, we can’t do that yet.” She interrupted.

Henry blinked, shocked. “W-What do you mean no? We have to get the Professor to fix this.”

“We need to fix this ourselves. L-Look, I can try to figure out what you did wrong, but it’s going to take some time…” Hailey suggested.

“Hailey, I-I’m a fucking midget! We can’t keep me like this, it’s scary!”

“I’ll say. You’re smaller than a midget, you’re a literal fucking toy now.” She said. “We don’t know what will happen to you if anyone finds you out like this. Put that into consideration, Henry.” She tapped the side of her forehead.

Henry held his tongue; he didn’t like the sound of the toy comment, which made his face feel warm like he was blushing. A toy, yeah, that’s what he wanted to be known as. Toy had multiple meanings; surely Hailey didn’t mean it much in a humiliating or perverted way. He hated to agree with her, but she had a point. He had no idea what would happen to him if he were revealed like this. Maybe wait it out, maybe he’ll grow big again; it was hard to say. The problem was, would anyone report him missing? He had to return to the dorm; people will be worried.

Henry scratched his chin. “I see what you mean.” He agreed. “But what about me then? Where will I go? What will you say when people ask what happened to me?”

Hailey grew silent; she knew that Henry was rather her responsibility now. He was short already; now he was pocket-sized. A pocket boy, now that made her a little excited to think about. Wanted to make her giggle a little, but she held her smirk. But retaining her serious expression, she would ponder what would happen to him. She knew she had to take him, damn it; she did not want to. She had been left with no choice but to take him home with her. This was a huge problem; she did not live alone. She lived with three other girls in a house they shared for rent. She scratched the side of her head, unsure if having a tiny guy around would be a good idea. Fuck it, she had no choice either way.

“Okay, well, this is a predicament, and I have no choice. You’re going to go home with me.” She revealed.

Henry would widen his eyes at the offer. Hailey had been in deep thought for a moment, and it was revealed that she was fighting her thoughts to take him home with her. Boy, this meant he got to see Mackenna again; he was eager to see how tall she really was now. Ugh, he was excited, perhaps too excited as he felt his wiener twitch in thought. He forgot he was nude; he turned himself away, trying to hide the fact that he was getting excited.

“T-That’s great and all…but what about me missing…?”

Hailey stared, perhaps stared too blankly, she almost did not react after she now realized he was naked as he stared at his clothes on the floor. The sudden shock of the discovery of him being tiny made her blind. She put a hand over her right eye to shield herself, looking away, her cheeks would glow a little red. For once, seeing a man wiener exposed like this in real time. Naturally, it too made her excited; she wanted to see more, but she knew it was morally wrong unless they were both fine with it. But would every girl be the same? Maybe, maybe not. She was new to all this. But back to the question at hand, she knew what to say.

“Not a worry. They won’t expect you to be small, not like they have evidence on me. You’ll be missing for a while, surely, but you’ll return to normal eventually, and you’ll have to make up the lie.” She said, hoping that was the morally good ending to all this.

“That doesn’t help me at all, Hailey…” He groaned.

Hailey shrugged as she tried to avoid eye contact with his wiener. “Okay, either way, I gotta get you home.” She said, taking a stand, she would lean her side against the table.

Hailey would prepare herself for departure. Henry stared up as Hailey took a stand; her coat pocket would line up against the edge of the table. He had more than enough; that was where he was going. Henry didn’t even need to be told to enter it; he just knew that’s where he was going. He figured Hailey figured out he was naked, so that’s why she didn’t even grab him again. This was embarrassing all around, and there was nothing he could do about it.

“Is it safe to get in there, Hailey?” He asked once as he stared at the hole that was extended by her fingers.

Hailey stared down, unsure what he said. She nudged her head to signal him to go inside. “Quit stalling and get in there.” She calmly commanded.

With that, Henry gulped, crawling inside the leather pocket. It was quite spacious, it smelled like leather, smelling like Hailey too. Once again, it made his wiener twitch. He came across something that felt weird, a wrapper, chewed-up wrapper perhaps? It smelt like mint too. Hailey began to walk, it was uncanny as he was able to feel and hear every step that she made in the outside world. He was unsure what was going to happen from here on out. If he was going back to her place, he got to see Mackenna again. He couldn’t shake his mind off of it; he was excited in many ways. But he also knew that there were other roommates too; he forgot who they were, though.

With Henry inside her pocket, she began to collect her things and made a quiet getaway. She was unsure what to do with his clothes, so she would stuff them inside her brown bag for the time being and dispose of them somewhere in her room. It was a risk, but she had to do it. She was worried, quite worried. Mackenna would freak out, maybe Brooke, too. Or how about the other girl, would she react the same way? Too many risks, she knew she had to keep him in her room for now until she got this resolved. Quickly, she made her way out of the lab, cleaning the mess and shutting the lights and doors. It was time to go home.

Henry was on his way to his new home, this was the start of his new life living with a Size Trinity…
