When a Bad Idea looks like a Good Idea

She lowered her hand, and the boy carefully placed the card on her fingertips. "Shrink!" Astra whispered, and the card glowed in her hand... and so did she, promptly shrinking to the size of about three inches.

She realized she may have made a mistake, as the kid towered over her grinning. "Sorry, I didn't realize this would happen." he said.

"A little late for apologies!" Astra squeaked. "Hurry and give me something to return me to normal!"

"I don't think its a good idea. What if the next card only makes it worse? You see, this spell only lasts until the end of turn, which is probably about a day in real life. Why don't you hide out at my house until you return to normal? My name is Aloysius by the way."

The kid reached down as if to grab her. Astra's mind boiled over with rage.

1. Astra bites him.
2. Astra escapes into a mousehole.
3. Unexpectedly, Astra's anger subsides and she lets Aloysius pick her up.
