Sisters' adventure

Three year old Emily had a secret power. She didn’t know why, and she didn’t even really understand that it was anything special. She only kept it secret because her big sister Allison had told her to.

 

Emily had the power to make things shrink.

 

Anything. Whatever she wanted, whenever she pleased. It was a power she was only just discovering and learning to control, but already she was using it for her own enjoyment. Her parents had no idea that the dollhouse in Emily and Allison’s room was doubling as the sisters’ playhouse.

 

Allison, at thirteen years old, was amazed and astonished by her sister’s power. At first she had been terrified by it, especially when Emily first discovered her power and was unable to control it, shrinking poor Allison to dust size for a whole morning before restoring her. But Allison loved her sister, and despite her natural fear she was committed to helping her little sister learn to harness her magical gift. Plus, the shared secret –and the adventures it made possible- proved an excellent catalyst for the two to bond in spite of their ten-year age-gap. Their parents found it a little odd that teen-aged Allison was so interested in spending time with her toddler sister instead of with friends her age, but they weren’t complaining.

 

So, whenever they could, Emily and Allison would shrink down to explore, play, and have adventures. They would climb mountains of stuffed animals, play dress-ups with their doll clothes, and build hidden cubby-houses like they were borrowers (a book Allison had read and re-read to her sister). It was thrilling, but not without its risks. Life at a tiny size can be dangerous, and Emily doesn’t always understand what is and isn’t dangerous.

 

Here we see Emily and Allison on another adventure. Their Aunt Julie’s cat is staying with them while Julie is on holiday abroad and Emily, keen to explore the soft fluffy cat while tiny like she would one of her stuffed animals, shrank herself and Allison as soon their mum stepped out of the house to buy some cat food. Allison is asking Emily to grow them back immediately before the building-sized behemoth decides it doesn’t want to wait for the cat food, but Emily is too excited to listen.
