It was early in the day and Roy was on his way to his best friend's house. Mimi had been Roy's best friend since elementary school.

     Roy was a bit shorter than the other boys. He has short spikey dark hair and always had a smile on his face. Roy liked to be silly and joke around. He didn't have too many friends that were boys. He had a bit of an odd sense of humor which made him somewhat of an outcast. He liked video games and anime and never really played sports he would rather play pretend or draw! But that's okay because Mimi had the same sense of humor and the two really got along.

     Mimi was about average height for a girl her age. She had bright shoulder-length hair that was Curly and wispy, it flared out over her shoulders in curls. Mimi was not always serious although she did like to plan and organize events  and play dates for her and Roy. She was a bit of a tomboy and she tended to have more boy friends than girl friends. Spunky and quirky she got the attention of a lot of boys however, she only had eyes for Roy. Although to her that was a bit of a secret. Roy was a bit too dumb to notice something that obvious.

     They have had their up and downs but they have always remained true friends through it all. With only a year after they met they started a tradition. Every summer Roy would go with Mimi's family on vacation! Last year Vegas! The year before camping in the mountains! And this year a beach resort! Mimi's parents  had very nice jobs and could afford to go on vacation to far away places and why not take her best friend with her? Mimi's family really like Roy as he made their daughter happy. Roy and Mimi's friendship was great and nothing could change that. Although Mimi often wished for an even closer relationship.

     The old minivan pulled into the driveway and parked next to a much more recent model van.

"Alright Roy don't forget what I told you"

     Roy's mother stared her son in the eye through her rearview mirror. Roy realized she was staring and darted his eyes away.

"I know!"

     He said with annoyance in his voice.

"I know what?"

     She said eye still locked on him.

"Be polite to Mimi's parents"

     He said with even more sass than before

"I mean it young man! It is very nice of them to put up with you for almost two weeks"

     She said sternly finally looking away

"I know"

     Clearly already done with this conversation already. He undid his seatbelt and put his hand on the door handle.

"Son!"

     Her words stopping him.

"Have fun with your girlfriend"

     He quickly turned to her

"Mom! Don't make it weird! Shes not even-"

     She laughed at his disgust. He opened the door and exited and removed his large backpack from the car. Closing the car door. His mother rolled down the passanger window and shouted.

"Hey! Don't forget to text me!"

     He smiled at her.

"I won't!"

     She smiled back and mouthed the words "I love you" he let out a slight chuckle and did the same. She pulled out of the driveway smiling and waving one last time before she drove away. He waited and watched her disappear down the street. Roy turned his attention on to the two-story house and walked up the walkway to the front door. He ring the doorbell and waited.

Ding-Dong!

     He could hear the sound of movement on the inside. As if someone wasn't too far away from the door and waiting for him. The handle moved in the door opened. Mimi stood there with a smile on her face clearly expecting it to be him. She looked him up and down.

"You lost short stuff?"

"I don't think so" He pretended to read the address

"This is were they dump the insane teenagers girls right?"

     She chuckled and so did he

"Yup! Come on in! We've been expecting you!" She extended a welcoming hand.

"Let me show you to your room"

     He laughed and entered the house. At this point it was quite familiar with the house. He walked in and walked straight to the living room and sat down on the couch. Leaving his backpack next to the couch on the floor. 

"Is that what you are wearing to the beach?" she wondered aloud judging his non beach attire. "Jeans and a black T-shirt?" She said teasing him. "Those chucks are gonna be full of sand"

"Just because you are always dressed like a beach bum I should be too?"

She laughed to herself.

"Why are you staring?" She assumed a model like pose and a stupid expression, Just before she started to laugh.

"Oh yeah! Jean short shorts and a blue tank top" he said mockingly "Gonna be fighting off those boys with a stick!"

     They laughed together.

     He quickly glanced at her body again when she wasn't looking. He had forgotten how big her breasts have gotten and how nice her thighs were. Roy didn't like to admit it but she already had such a womanly body. Or maybe she always had one and he never noticed until recently. Trying to shake off thoughts if Mimi's body he looked around for anyone else in the house.

"Where are your parents?"

"They are on there way back from the store. It seems as though my dad wasn't as prepared as he thought last week" she laughed to herself.

     Roy rolled his eyes.

"Did he forget to pack bug replant again?"

"Nope worse. Sunblock!"

     Roy layed back on the couch and laughed.

"He needs a secretary for everyday normal life!"

"Tell me about it! Remember when he came to our graduation with a sign that said proud soccer dad!?"

     Roy began to laugh harder.

"Wow he needs help! Hopefully he remembered gas this time. So when will they be here? I can't wait to get to the beach!"

"Who knows" Mimi shrugged "I don't trust his ETA anymore"

     Mimi looked around for a second thinking of ways to kill time.

"Hey you wanna play video games? The new Smash is coming out soon and we need to practice our teamwork"

     Roy nodded

"Sure I'll carry this team to more victories"

     Mimi made a disapproving face.

"As if! I always save us when you aren't paying attention to your damage"

     Roy laughed to himself.

"I guess we will see who carries who wont we?" He stood up with a smug look on his face.

"Oh we will see. Hopefully you are man enough to admit it when I carry you!" She said smirking, leading the way upstairs to her room. Roy followed her to her room.

     The room was very neat and tidy. An inspirational framed poster that read "Girls just wanna have fun" hung on her wall. Her shelves covered in manga and comics. Her desk had cute little erasers shaped like food. Her bed was pressed against the corner cover in pink sheets and stuffed animals. For a tomboy she sure does love her dolls Roy thought taking a glance around the room always forgetting how much of a girl she really was.

     Mimi sat on her bed and took off her slippers. She layed flat in her comfy looking bed and stretched her arms closing her eyes for a moment then sprung back up and looked through her game collection. Roy couldn't help but stare.

     He then noticed her empty laundry basket.

"Hey don't look around too hard you won't find what you are looking for!"

     Roy snapped his gaze back at her. He knew exactly what she was implying.

"I-I wasn't looking for anything like that" he stammered turning slightly red. "I just forgot I was in a girl's room was all!"

     She squinted at him clearly upset.

"How dare you Roy! You insult my honor! I demand a duel!"

     She quickly turned on the system and the T.V. then tossing him a controller. Which he scrambled to catch.

"You are going down little man!" She said in a challenging low whisper squinting once again.

"You have no honor to defend! Have at you!" Roy said full of spirit!

     The two played a few rounds with Mimi having more wins in the end.

"Better luck next time shorty" She gloated with smugness all over her face.

"Yeah yeah" Roy explained "We all get lucky sometimes"

"Luck had nothing to do with it my friend"

     Mimi's phone lit up. She grabbed it and read the message. 

"Oh good. They should be here soon!"

"Heck yeah!" Roy exclaimed "I've been waiting for this summer to finally start!"

"We will be on the road for a couple of hours. Don't forget to use the ladies room" she teased.

"Good idea" Roy said standing up and making his way to the bathroom down the hall.

"See you in a few years" Mimi said sarcastically. Roy shot her a sarcastic look as he exited her room. He could hear her giggle as he entered the bathroom.

     Roy quickly did his business and washed his hands. Then he looked at himself in the mirror.

"Another vacation with Mimi" He though to himself "it's too bad it will end in two weeks" as soon as he finished that thought pain began to surge through his body. The pain was so intense and sudden Roy fell to his knees. He let out a painful sounding groan. Another wave of pain shot through him. He reached out and grabbed a shower handle accidentally turning on the water. Roy hit the floor and quickly went limp as he lost consciousness.

     Mimi heard the groan followed by a thud and then rushing water. She grew quickly concerned she paused the game and stood up quickly making her way to the bathroom door. She pressed her ear to the door.

"You having trouble in there Roy? Is it a tough poop?" She waited for a response.. silence.. She ran some scenarios in her head which only made her worry more. She decided she needed to help him. She ran down the hall to her parents room and threw open her fathers dresser drawer searching through his belongings for the restroom key. She found it and ran back quickly inserting it and unlocking the door.

"I'm coming in Roy!" She said before opening the door. She raised a hand to her face to hopefully block any nudity she might see. She looked around. His clothes lay spread out on the floor. She began to blush and covered her face even more trying not to look.

"Roy are you in the shower!? My parents will be home soon you're gonna get me in so much trouble!" She cautiously aproached the shower and reached in past the curtain and turned the water off. She began to blush even more her face even more red than before.

"Roy?" She slowly pulled back the curtain looking with one eye through her fingers. She was even more shocked to see.. no one. She slowly lowered her hand.

"R-Roy?" She looked around the bathroom until she stepped on something. Something kind squishy, something that twitched under her foot. A shiver ran down her spine.

"I-is that a.. bug!?" Without looking she quickly began stomping on the bug. It felt  too big to be a bug under her foot she thought and jumped back. She tried to get a better look at it. It was about three inches long and was skin colored! Mimi jumped even farther back! Her back pressed against the wall! She slowely slid down the wall and sat on the bathroom floor.

"Roy?" Mimi nearly fainted once she realized it was him. A three inch naked Roy lay on the floor of her bathroom. She took a couple of deep breathes and slowely crawled over to him. He was unconcious and face down, his naked butt pointed right at her. She stared in disbelief for a while. She looked around and decided her parents can't see him like this. She began to panic what do I do!? What do I say?  He.. he's still.. NAKED! What about the vacation!! She gasped, the vacation!

     She quickly gathered up his clothes and shoes. She ran to her room and threw it all into her closet. Then she ran back for him. She slowely reached for him then stopped hesitating. He's still naked! Her thoughts screamed. With just her thumb and index finger she carefully lifted him up and with her other hand she covered her eyes. She lifted him as gently as she could trying not to squeeze too tightly and not to move so fast. On her way to her room his limbs dangled so liflessly she was worried he might not be okay after the stomping. Mimi was worried but she still couldn't look directly at him. Keeping him at an arms length and covering her eyes. She made it back to her room and gently laid him on her bed. She covered his body excluding his head with her blanket. Practically tucking him into her bed. Mimi then sat on the edge of her bed with a troubled look on her face. Like a survivor of a nartural disaster she sat there confused and scared.

"This.. isn't exactly what I wished for.."

     The sound of a car driving into the driveway got her back on her feet. She looked back at the mini sleeping Roy tears began welling up in her eyes.

"What ahould I do?" She thought of telling her parents what she had done tears rolling down her cheek.

"No!" She thought. Wiping away the tears. "Roy needs my help! He wanted this summer vacation. It meant so much to him"

     She started at his tiny sleeping form and made her way downstairs to greet her parents "I'll have to tell then he isn't coming and neither am I" it was just then that she remembered his bag was down stairs.
