The time was now 9 AM, and Bill had been poked with the disk an hour ago.

The girls, still not sure of what the disks would do, waited, watching most of his moves. At the moment, Bill was playing Halo Reach with Emily, Jessica, and Kate. Diana and Allison were sitting and watching. At the moment, Bill had only lost 1/2 an inch, barely noticable, and the girls had only grown 1/2 an inch.

In the game, the kids were building their bases, getting ready to fight. Jessica was placing a piece, when suddenly, she heard a shot ring out, and her character died. She turned to Bill and said, "Hey! I'm building! Why did you kill me?"

As she said this, he lost 1/2 an inch, and she grew 1/2 and inch.

"Because I'm done building, and you're taking too long." Bill said.

"Well don't do it again." Jessica huffed.

About a minute later, Jessica's character was shot by Bill again.

"Stop it, you jerk!" she yelled. As she ranted at Bill about how her work was being "impeded," she grew 1/2 an inch, and Bill shrank 1/2 an inch.

For the next hour, all proceeded as usual. Bill was now 5'10" tall, Jessica was now 5'2" tall, and the other 4 girls were 5'1" tall. Bill's chin was now level with the top of Jessica's head, and the other girls were also taller, and were now about eye-level with his nipples.

"Let's go to the pool." Bill said, as the game of Halo ended.

"Ok." Diana said, and the girls ran to their rooms and squeezed in to their bikinis. Bill, waiting for Jessica to get out of his room, leaned against the wall. He felt a slight twinge of pain in his back.

"Ow!" he said, as Allison walked by.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing," Bill said, "My back just hurts a little."

Allison was going to say something else, but Jessica came out of the room, and Bill went in and got on his swimming trunks. He then got out of his room, and walked to his car, where Kate, Emily, Jessica, Diana,  and Allison were waiting.

"Do you guys have towels?" Bill asked.

"Yes!" they responded, and Bill drove them to the pool.

The pool was fairly big. It had a slide, diving boards, a basket ball court, and a clubhouse. Bill walked in, payed the money, and the girls followed behind him.

After about half an hour of playing in the pool, the family decided to play some basketball. Since they didn't have enough players for a normal game, they just played "Knockout." Bill couldn't help noticing the girls bodies, accented by there tight bikinis. After about a half-hour of Knockout, the family broke up again, and they did seperate things. Bill stayed behind and played basketball, while Allison and Kate dove, Emily went down the slide, and Jessica and Diana talked. 

The time was now 11 AM. Bill was 5'8" tall, Jessica's head now came up to Bill's lips, since she was 5'4" tall, and the other girls now came up to his chin, at 5'3" tall. While Bill was shooting a shot, Jessica and Kate came up to Bill, and asked him where the bathroom was. "Up in the courthouse." Bill answered.

"Can you lead us there?" Kate asked. "I'm bad with directions."

Bill set the ball down, and walked them to the bathrooms. While he was walking them there, Bill noticed that the girls seemed taller. 

"You guys seem bigger!" Bill said out.

Jessica didn't like this comment. "I what?" she yelled, and Kate joined in with her.

"No, no! Not like that!" Bill clarified nervously. "You seem... Taller."

"You jerk!" the girls yelled, and stormed off. In this encounted, Bill lost an inch, while Jessica and Kate grew an inch. Once they were in the bathroom, the girl's anger cooled off, and they realised what the pins did.

"I can't believe it!" Jessica said. "I really can't believe it!"

"I know, I know!" Kate agreed. "We have to tell the others!"

After going to the bathroom, Jessica and Kate shared the news with the other girls. They were astounded: they would finally have a chance to be taller than their massive brother.

At 1 PM, Bill decided that it was time to leave the pool. He was now 5'6" tall, and his bathing suit barely fit. Jessica was as tall as him, Kate was an inch shorter than him, and the other girls were two inches shorter than him, at 5'4" tall. As the girls came, he noticed their massive difference in height.

"Seriously, how are you guys growing so much?" he asked.

Emily answered, "I think you're shrinking, too. Look at your swimsuit!"

Bill announced, "We're going to the doctors, now."

"But what about clothes?" Jessica asked.

"We don't have time. I'm shrinking!" Bill protested.

"Yeah, but we're growing, and these bikinis barely fit in the first place!" she argued, and grew as she did.

"No time!" Bill said. He felt himself lose an inch that time, and now realised that he was 5'5" tall, and all of the girls he used to tower ober were now as tall as him, or taller. To his horror, he was looking his little sister in the eyes, without looking down, for the first time in his life. He ran in to the car, and the girls followed. He then drove to the hospital.

"I'm sorry, you'll have to put some clothes on, unless your issue is life threatening." the lady at the door said.

"It potentially could be." Bill said.

The doctors took Bill, Kate, Emily, Jessica, Diana, and Allison in to a room and examined them. They shared a room, since the hospital was running out of room, and they were all having a similar and unheard of condition.

In the waiting room, Bill realised just how small he was now: his swim trunks looked like they belonged to someone 20 pounds heavier than him, and he was as tall as his sisters and cousins. He also realised something about the girls: Their breasts and bottoms seemed larger than normal. The doctor came in and saw them.

"Well, I have bad news for you, Bill." She said. "I'm afraid that it appears that you have lost 7 inches of height in the matter of 3 hours." As she said this, Bill was nailed with shock, while the girls quietly snickered. "And as for you, girls," she said, "You have grown 5-7 in the same amount of time." Bill was stunned.

At 3PM, Jessica was now 5'8" tall, Kate was 5'7" tall, Emily, Allison, and Diana were 5'6" tall, and Bill was 5'4" tall. His eyes were now level with Jessica's lips. Bill was making dinner, some instant potatos and chicken, when the doorbell rang. Kate yelled, "I'll get it!" and ran to the door.

After Kate having a brief conversation with what sounded like the people at the door, she said, "Bill, your girlfriend and her brother are here. They said they were invited over for dinner."

"Oh crap" was all Bill could think. "She can't see me like this!" he thought. "Oh, gosh. I TOTALLY forgot that I invited them over." As he thought this, he got Kate to grab the cooking, while he met his girlfriend and her brother.

Bill's girlfriend, Cindy, had long brown hair, tan skin, and a cheery personality. She was 5'4" tall (his current height), 16 years old, and was almost always laughing. Her brother, Zach, was 19 years old, had fairly long black hair, a small beard, and slightly tan skin. He was 5'7" tall, and he was almost the polar opposite of his sister.

"Oh," Cindy said, as she saw Bill. "you're shorter!"

"I know." Bill said, embaressed.

"Hey, shorty." Zach said, dumbly. The girls could hear it all from upstairs, and they already didn't like Zach.

"Come and meet the guests, girls!" Bill called.

Down the stairs came all of the girls except Kate, since she was already downstairs, and cooking. Zach was a little surprised when he noticed that Jessica was taller than him, and Kate was as tall as him. After casually greeting them, the girls left the room, and made a plan.

"I don't like this Zach guy." Allison said. 

"Me neither." Emily agreed.

"I have a plan." Jessica announced.

The girls simultaneously asked, "What?"

"Well," she answered, "I believe I know what makes people instantly shrink."

"What?" they again saked in unison.

"When we get mad at the wearer." she answered. "I also have a plan to get it off of Bill, and on to that jerk Zach. "What we need to do is invite them to the pool, pull it off Bill, and put it on Zach. I know Bill won't pass up an oppurtunity to see his girlfriend in a bikini!" Jessica said, triumphantly.

"Great plan." Diana said. "We'll still grow, Bill won't get as short, and a jerk will get shorter."

An hour later, the kids had finished their meals and were watching TV, Emily said, "Bill, can go to the pool?"

"We've already been to the pool today." he answered.

"But we want to go again!" she said, and Diana and Allison added in, making them the same height as Kate, and Bill a full inch and a half shorter than the girlfriend he used to tower over. Bill was 5'2.5" tall, Cindy was 5'4" tall, Zach was 5'7" tall, Kate, Emily, Allison, and Diana were 5'7.5" tall, and Jessica was 5'9" tall. Bill was now eye level with Jessica's chin. Bill, not wanting to argue, finally agreed.

After Bill had taken his shirt off, and changed in to swimming clothes, Jessica had no problem removing the pin. After stopping by Cindy's house for her and Zach to get swimming clothes, Jessica easily slipped the pin on to Zach. After that, all there was to do was get Cindy and Bill distracted while the girls harassed Zach.

As soon as Bill saw Cindy in a bikini, he was drooling over her. They just sat on lawn chairs and talked. Neither was changing height - but their siblings were!

"Hey, Shorty." Jessica said to Zach, mocking his greeting to Bill. As she said this, she grew and he shrank, an inch each.

"How's the weather down there?" Emily joined in. He lost another inch.

"Must be hard to find girls at that height!" Kate added. Another.

"Hey shorty! I would offer you a high-fice, but you can't reach!" Diana said. Another.

"Aww, you're stooping too low!" Allison said. He shrank another.

In a matter of seconds, Zach had shrunk 5 inches, while each girl grew an inch.

Zach was now 5'2" tall. Jessica was 5'10", and Kate, Emily, Allison, and Diana were 5'8.5" tall. He was a full head shorter than Jessica, and eye level with her breasts. His eyes were about chin-level with the other girls.

Zach was stunned. He couldn't even talk. He just went, "Wh-, b-, how?" with a devastated look on his face.

"Aww, is the little boy going to cry?" Jessica asked, and grew another inch.

All of the girls but Jessica then picked Zach up, swung him, and threw him in to the pool. They all grew half an inch, while he lost an inch.

"What is wrong with you freaks?!" Zach screamed, as he pulled up his pants and ran for the entrance of the pool.

"Aww, don't stop our visit SHORT, honey!" Jessica pleaded, and grew another inch.

Zach, now 4'11" tall, wanted out. He ran over to Bill and Cindy, and said, "Protect me! Please!"

Cindy, now alomst a head taller than her brother, was taken back. Bill, still surprised, but not too surprised to take advantage of the situation and now in the position to do so, said, "What do you need, little guy?" Down he went, another inch.

"Your sisters! They're crazy!" he screamed.

"What?" Kate called. "You not able to make it in the BIG leagues?"

"Yeah?" Allison asked, "Aren't you going to stand tall and not back down?"

"Seriously? You're falling SHORT of your promise!" Diana poked.

"This is, I shoud say, a LITTLE bit of a mistake." Emily added.

"Just look at the BIG picture! Jessica added.

"Save me!" Zach pleaded, now the size of a kid, standin just 4'6" tall. Now, his sister was more than a head taller than him, towering 10 inches over her "big" brother. Bill was even surprised. His pants were so loose, he had to hold them up. He had lost more than a foot of height, in just minutes. Meanwhile, Jessica was 5'11" tall, Emily, Kate, Allison, and Diana were 5'10" tall, Cindy was 5'4" tall, and Bill was 5'2.5" tall. He was closest Bill's height, but still a head shorter than the boy he was just taller than.

Kate, Emily, Jessica, Diana, and Allison's bikinis were stretched to their limits; they were designed for people nearly a foot shorter. Zach's bathing suit looked more than commical on him: he had to hold it up, at all times. Zach went in to the clubhouse and tried buyng a a new bikini, but the attendant said something that made him mad:

"I'm sorry, you need an adult to buy clothes."

"Look, woman." Zach said, as he pointed at her with one hand. "Do kids have beards?"

The "woman," a girl with short black hair, was a foot taller than him. "Oh, I'm sorry, little - I mean, sir. You're just, uh, short for your-"

"I know I'm short!" he said, as he shrank another inch. "Can I buy the darn swimtrunks!"

"Yes, uh, sir, that will be $29.99."

"Crap." Zach said aloud. "Can I change in to them, go get some money, and then pay you?"

"Uh, sure." the girl said.

Zach ran in to the dressing room, pulled on the new pants, and ran outside to get some money.

"Cindy, can I borrow $10, I need some money." Zach asked.

"Why, are you SHORT on money?" she asked, as she handed him the money. He shrank another inch, and he tightnened the pants.

"Thanks." he mumbled, and payed for the pants.

"Hey, Zach!" Kate called. Want to play basketball? Me, Emily, Jessica, and Diana versus you, Cindy, Allison, and Bill?"

Zach had to think this through. He was a foot and a half shorter than the girls, but he had 2 of them on his team. "Sure." he said.

"I think you got the SHORT side of this deal." Jessica said, and grew another inch.

"Yeah, you sure you're UP for this?" Kate asked.

"Don't fall SHORT of our expectations again!" Emily added.

"Don't let us DOWN!" Allison said.

"Make sure to stand TALL! What's that for you, 4'?" Diana asked. At this point, he WAS 4' tall. He was 2' shorter than Jessica, just under 2' shorter than Kate, Emily, Allison, and Diana, a foot and a half shorter than his "little" sister, a bit over a foot shorter than "shorty."

The basketball game lasted an hour, like normal games. Zach's team lost by miles."I guess you were too SHORT-sighted to see the outcome of this game, 'little' brother." Cindy poked, now used to the dramatic shrinkage of her older brother. The kids stayed at the pool another hour before leaving, at the pool's forced closing time. Jessica was 6'1" tall, Kate, Emily, Allison, and Diana were 6' tall, Cindy was 5'4" tall, Bill was 5'2" tall, and Zach was 3'10" tall - just 46 inches.

As they were walking out, a seven year old girl came up to Zach and said, "Hi, what's you're name?" The girl was hispanic, and had brown eyes and hair.

"Zach." he said.

"You're voice is really deep!" she said.

"I know." he answered. "I'm nineteen." he sighed.

"That's funny!" she said. "I'm six!" He shrank another inch.

"Great." Zach thought. "I'm as tall as a six year old girl.

"What's this?" Cindy asked. "Is Zach making friends his own size?" He shrank again.

"I, I'm, she just-" he stuttered.

"Is shorty having trouble speaking?" she asked. Again.

"No, I- I'm just, I-"

"How did you pass first grade like this?" Cindy asked. Again.

This mocking from Cindy happened all the way back to Bill's house. By the time they got back there, he was 1 foot and 2 inches shorter, just 2'8" tall! He was half the height of his "big" sister. Once their, Jessica removed the pin from Zach, and waited to put it back on Bill until morning. Once at the house, the kids had to search through piles of old clothes to find anything small enough for Zach. His tiny height was truly astounding. All of the girls could stand over him, and all of the girls but Cindy could step over him with ease. Zach was not enjoying his new height. He couldn't reach anything, and if someone accidentally walked in to him, he would get a face-full of their privates. This happened ro him on multiple occasions, when Cindy was backing up from tables, or absentmindedly walking. After the kids found the newly named "Little Zach" some new clothes, Cindy picked up Zach like a toddler, and walked over to Bill.

"Thank you, for what ever you did tonight. This kid has been harassing me since the day he was born." she said.

"I can still hear you!" Zach whined.

"No problem." Bill said. "But I'm honestly not sure how he shrank. You might want to take him to the doctor, and get some growth hormones or something."
"Do you have to spoil all of my fun?" Cindy joked, and left.

At the end of the night, Bill was worried: could what happened to Zach be his future? He certainly hoped not. But with an almost total reversal of height between him and his sisters had him worried.
