Over to the pool

    by: Tisch Author IconMail Icon
After no more than five minutes of some alone time, Jack was startled when a pair of hands covered his eyes. "Surprise!" a nasal-sounding voice came from behind him. "Ah!" Jack cried out. He couldn't identify who it was, though he couldn't identify 95% of the girls at that party, but nonetheless struggled. Another pair of hands secured his arms behind his back, then proceeded to pin him while his eyes were briefly uncovered, only to be recovered by a blindfold. "What the hell is going on?" Jack demanded. A group of giggles were heard around him. Jack grew nervous. Suddenly, he was lifted up and slung over a smooth feeling surface, presumably, one of the girl's shoulders. Jack felt embarrassed being so easily manipulated. In a few more moments of giggles, loud voices, and bouncing along this girl's shoulder, he was finally set down and had his blindfold taken off.

Jack immediately looked to his sides to find eight or nine girls in bathing suits smiling at him. Normally, he would have likely gone crazy for this, but under the strange circumstance he was in, he felt incredibly uncomfortable. "Wha- what is this?" Jack stuttered. All the girls giggled. "It's a pool party, handsome, and you're the main attraction!" the girl standing to his left proclaimed. Now understanding what was going on, Jack was now trying to figure out why. But his thought process didn't last long, because a girl came up behind him and pulled his shirt off, then lifted him up and jumped into the pool with him. Remembering about the shrink ray in his pocket, Jack cried out, begging the sorority girl to let him down, but it was too late, she had already jumped.

*SPLASH*

*ZAP*

"Huh?" the girl spoke, visibly and audibly confused. Just a moment ago, she had in her arms a two and a half foot tall college boy, and now he was gone. All of her friends surrounding the pool were equally as confused. They began searching the perimeter of the pool while the girl in the pool swam around. Meanwhile, Jack was struggling to keep himself afloat in the water.

"*splutter* *hack* Dammit!" Jack yelled as he kicked in the water. The moment Jack had entered the pool and the shrink ray became completely submerged in the water was a complete malfunction of the device, sending Jack down to the dismal state he was so used to: a mere one inch. The biggest problem at hand, which Jack was yet to be aware of, was that the shrink ray was now completely dysfunctional. There was no way he was going to be able to change size, except with the use of another shrink ray. In the meantime, Jack struggled to get himself to the "shallow" end of the pool, which to him still seemed like a great depth, then made it to the edge of the pool where he could get a breather. He observed his surroundings and noticed that nearly all of the girls had gotten into the pool now and were wading around in the water, clearly looking for something. And Jack was quick to figure out that something was him. His eyes widened as the reality that they had discovered he had likely shrunk down again and was helpless in the pool was a daunting one. He turned around and tried to leap out of the pool, but he was too short and couldn't reach the ledge. The girls were his only hope, but they were also his greatest obstacle.

Jack begrudgingly began swimming out to deeper regions of the pool. When he made it just past the shallow end of the pool, Jack came to a realization. Instead of going out to get one of the girls' attention and likely getting captured, he could stay in the shallow end and wait for them to come to him, then hitch a ride on one of them out of the pool without their knowledge. That way, he would remain unknown and get out of the pool safely. With that in mind, Jack changed direction, heading for the way in which he came. But, of course, Jack's luck came back to bite him in the butt.

*SWOOSH*

A great disturbance in the pool came when one of the girls splashed her arms in the water, creating huge waves, and sending Jack flying. He looked in the direction where he was now going and screamed. Fast approaching was the bust of one of the freshman sorority girls, Estelle, someone with a stunning body, but contrasting attitude which resembled more of a snot-nosed brat. Jack hadn't known this at the time, but possibly would get to know in the near future.

As he was making his quick descent, what happens to Jack?
