Trapped in a Teddy Bear

Todd waited for his remote shrink ray to charge but at the mean time he started to ponder about his situation. He had a shrink ray and he felt like he wasn’t using it up to his potential. This amazing thing could be used to benefit him. Todd started to think about it more and ideas started popping through his head. He always wanted to see the high school girl’s cheerleader naked. He wasn’t that popular in school and wouldn’t have a chance to do that but with the shrink ray there were so many possibilities. He could shrink down in size and nobody would be the wiser.

He could buy a bear outfit and shrink down to make himself like a teddy bear and appear at the front door of the head cheerleader house. Or he could shrink down in size and spy in the girls’ locker room. He also wanted to get close and personal to some of the girls in the volleyball team when they go swimming. Of course that would never happen in his life but the Amazing Shrinking Todd has the ability to make this happen.

Todd also felt a little greed and excitement about breaking in someone’s house to steal money. Todd stayed at his neighbor’s house when he was little when his mom and dad went to work. Their house was so nice and she always kept money and jewelry in her room without a safe or a lock box. Todd could go there undetected and steal some goods.

Todd ran upstairs to the attic and started to look over some old boxes. He found a flashlight and a cool 70’s leather jacket that belong to his dad. At the bottom of the box he found a scuba diving outfit that also belonged to his father. The yellow spandex and the thick water goggles were perfect for what he had planned for. He took it all of and went to his room. He went online and ordered a bear costume. This costume looked exactly like a teddy bear costume; it had a blue ribbon on its neck and no cut out circle on its face. Todd went back to get his shrink ray; it was fully charged and Todd started to think which idea should he try first.

Back at his normal size he started figuring out how to monopolize his new gift. There were so many possibilities. Like any respectable teenager a key motivator was the idea of being close to or in the general vicinity of BOOBS.

After ordering the bear outfit he thought about possible applications for it. Who would he want to disguise himself as a bear to get close to? And how would he get there? This had to be thought out. After the car accident in the street he knew how easily things could go wrong. But if he was careful…what could go wrong?
It wasn’t till the next week of school that he thought about the perfect target. Kristy Ellis. She was the President of the High School’s Drama Club and one of the hottest girls in school. She was about 5’5” with long curly blond hair and a wickedly curvy body. She could have been a cheerleader but she was too big in the bust and hips to do all the hopping and jumping without making it look like she was going to fall out of the outfits. So she did Drama instead. This with all the costumes gave her plenty of opportunity to show off her assets.

Yeah, her. He hated her. Back when he was a Freshman he asked a girl out, Rachel Black. Kristy had gotten in the way saying that he was weird and that Rachel would be a freak to go out with him. Rachel wouldn’t talk to Todd after that and the trend followed him to the rest of his high school career. So the idea of tricking her was all the sweeter.

He followed Kristy home one day. Not too obviously of course. Just so he could get the address. She lived in a huge house which made Todd hate her all the more. Of course she had money…not that he was poor but the difference between upper middle class and upper class was still a difference. Bet she flew business class on the airlines as well.

That was the easy part. The bear costume arrived the next day and now he had to finish his plan so it would be ready by the weekend.

It was so simple he was shaking with anticipation. His costume was about the right size so what he did was shrink it down and start stuffing it with fluff from a pillow no one would miss. Than he wrote a vague message that could have arrived from anybody but he figured would sound good enough to get a girl’s attention. “May this small Bear show my affection.” Simple and to the point. He wasn’t up on all the gossip so there was no way to figure out who Kristy was dating. For all he knew she was dating the Quarterback or a Teacher just from some of the rumors.

When his bear costume was plump and squishy he grew it back and tried it on. The legs were over stuffed but that was okay, because it helped the bear costume sit without him having to keep his legs in it. But he’d be able to reinsert his legs and move around, though minimally if he had to. His head was a bit small so he took it off and grew it larger than the rest of the body then put it back on. Problem with that was now he couldn’t breathe. So he shrank it all down again and cut open the mouth. Not wide but a little snip. Then inserting a straw he cut to fit him made a hole to be able to watch between the nose and chin. Kind of made the bear’s head look like it was making a kissing face. Added bones he figured. Trying it on for the second time worked out great. He could see through the now larger hole in the mouth and all the extra padding filled out the bears limps whether he stuck his arms and legs in them or not. So he could move around inside the bears padded belly if he wanted or with extra effort make the suit walk and move etc.

Now the last thing was to deal with the opening in the back of the costume. It was designed with a large zipper but the last thing he wanted was someone opening it up while he were inside or having to ask someone to help him zip himself in. So he did something he thought was extremely clever. He got a staple gun and folded most of the opening closed around the sipper and stapled it together. This left a hole just big enough for him to crawl in up the bottom back end and get him into place. Once all was done he looked at it and the costume in his hands looked like a honest to god teddy bear.

Now the issue was how to get to Kristy’s house and then get inside.

Not wanting to trust a third party and risk things going wrong he figured he could do it himself. He waited till Friday and skipped last period. That should have given him enough time to get to Kristy’s before she got home. He parked his car a discreet distance away from Kristy’s house in a movie theater parking lot. Then walking down with his Teddy Bear sized disguise under his arm he headed to her house and smiled seeing that there was not yet a car in the drive way. Looking around he checked his watch and acknowledged that the school was now out. So he placed the bear on the stoop by the door then quickly went around to the bushes where he shrank himself and the remote. Then running behind the bushes he headed back to the stoop and crawled up into the Teddy Bear. There was enough room so he didn’t have to undress and were able to get himself all the way in.

Getting himself situated he sat with his arms and legs in the padded limps of the bear and his face lined perfectly with the port hole in the mouth. It wasn’t too soon because a car was coming up the street and pulling into the drive way.

He could hear the driver side door open but couldn’t yet see Kristy since she was on the other side of the car. CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP, he could hear her platform heels on the cement then see her feet and long legs as she came around the car. As much as Kristy was a bitch she had great legs…he couldn’t help but get a bit excited. It was hard to stay still.

CLIP CLOP CLOP CLIP, the legs and feet got larger as they came around down the walk path and headed towards him and the front door. He anticipated those giant heels stopping and Kristy looking down at you. CLOP, CLOP, CLIP…there was a jingling sound above beyond his view since he didn’t dare turn his head to look up. The sexy platform rose up then down and were right in front of him…BOOM! He fellt his front get a swift thump and he went flying back to hit his backside against the door.

“HM,” came a famine but deeper voice from above him. He blinked getting his bearings. That blow hadn’t actually hurt since there was now so much stuffing between him and the suit but the impact had been surprising and his back side wasn’t anywhere near as well padded. The was knocked out of his lungs. “WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? WHO LEFT YOU ON MY DOORSTEP?”

He heard the words above him but they didn’t register. That wasn’t Kristy. Still trying to breath he wasn’t given a chance before a strong object grabed his from the back around the waist and wisped him up with the speed of a rollercoaster. Sudden vertigo hit him and he spanned around. Blinking tried to look out the porthole. It wasn’t Kristy looking back at him.

An older woman with long blond hair and big blue eyes was looking at him with big pink lips and huge pearly white teeth. Who the heck was this? There was a sound of jingling and a loud squeaking. The woman’s face turned from him and he dropped suddenly swinging back and forth. The light changed from the bright outside to the darker inside. Dazed but alert enough he smiled a bit for joy at his successful penetration of his nemesis’ home.

Without warning he was swung up again facing the woman square in the face. This was it…he still felt the firm but not squeezing grasp of what he guessed was the woman’s hand around his midsection. Hopefully she wasn’t feeling the relatively solid him inside the soft fluffy bear. Should have put more padding in the backside. The woman was still smiling then her eye lids turned down as if seeing something. Suddenly he dropped but not all the way down. He went down then forward and WOOM, he felt the front of the bear make contact with something that is heavy and firm but also vaguely round…there is also a pressure pushing him into it from behind him and he felt half of himself free…Racing he figured it out. I’m being pressed face first into her boob. The woman was holding him under her arm and his face was planted into the side of her right boob. This was awesome. Not that he had a good look yet but this thing felt like it was huge. That’s when it dawned on him that this was Kristy’s mom. Of course why hadn’t he thought of that. Well either way, she got him in now she would just take him to Kristy’s room and then he would just have to wait for the ice queen to come home and let the show begin.

His excitement was interrupted when the ribbon around his neck went tight chocking him. The card, she must have been trying to read the card but instead of pulling the paper free of the ribbon she was leaving it on and strangling him with it. He started trying to turn his head side ways to let some air it but it wasn’t any good. “MAY THIS SMALL BEAR SHOW MY AFFECTION! AWW, HOW ADORABLE.” The pressure released and he was pulled away from the giant breast and held out in front of the woman again. “HOW PRESSIOUSS YOU ARE.” She said smiling her glossy pink lips and showing her large white teeth. “DEREK SHOULDN’T HAVE.”

“Derek?” He said to yourself before dropping and swinging. His arm was in a firm grip but the rest of him was dangling free. It didn’t hurt but it wasn’t comfortable either. CLOP, CLIP, he felt the giant move then wack, wack, he swayed from side to side hitting up against her giant thigh. The world spun past his porthole before he could understand what was going on. Risking it he turned his head and saw the giant bare legs and platform heels below going CLIP, CLOP, CLIP, CLOP on the hard wood floor then muffle as the floor turned to carpet.

He went swinging back and forth with the intermittent bumping into Kristy’s mom’s leg. It wasn’t too bad to start but by the fifth swing his arm was starting to hurt. Just then he heard the SCREACH of the door being opened.

-“OH, HEY MOM,”

It was Kristy. He knew the pest’s voice even through his bear suit.

-“OH, HI SWEETY. HOW WAS SCHOOL?”

CLOMP, CLOMP, CLOMP. He went spinning around and blinked trying to control the vertigo. His arm was free andhis midsection was grasped. “WHAT’S THAT?” As his eyes focused he saw Kristy through the port-hole. She looked huge but he could see all of her through the hole. Coming closer she soon zoomed out of full few and her jean skirt came perilously close to running into him. Despite all the zooming he didn’t think he would have mind bumping into Kristy’s pelvis.

-“LOOK, IT’S A TEDDY BEAR.” Kristy’s mom explained holding him up and out. Yes, he thought as he went up to being eye-level with Kristy’s ginormous rack. BAZONGAS!

-“UH, YEAH MOM I CAN SEE THAT.” Through his limited view he saw Kristy move and then it felt like something else was grabbing at him and then he were going up higher and were now facing the smug face of his nemesis. Kristy’s round face and big lips dominated his view but her trimmed eye-brows also took stage when they came down in a frown and her lips contorted. “ULK, LIKE MOM, YOUR BOYFRIEND IS A SAP.” Without any indication he should prepare himself go flying backwards and spin through the air. “ahhh” he screamed forgetting where he was and not caring at the same time. UMPH he hit something and dazed just lay there.
______________________________________________________________________

Kristy lightly tossed her mom’s teddy bear onto the couch. “I’m heading to my room. See ya, Mom.”

Kristy’s mom, Catherine, rolled her eyes and went over to the couch, reaching down and picking the Bear up by its stuffed adorable head. Turning it over she instantly noticed the seam in the back had opened up, probably happened when Kristy carelessly threw it. Easily fixed.

Catherine set the bear down back on the couch and walked away.
_______________________________________________________________________

His head was swimming he only really noticed when a big spear came right across his face and blacked his only window plummeting him into darkness then something grabbing all around his head and caving in the stuffing and lifting him up like a limp toy.

He felt the shifting then dropped down again back onto something semi soft. The light came back and he saw Kristy’s mom from the corner walking away, the sound THUMP, THUMP matching up with her steps. Damn she had a wide ass for a white woman.

For the moment he was alone. So he took the second to get a grip of all that had happened. Made it into Kristy’s house, check, but right now he was kind of derailed because it looked like Kristy had no interest in the bear outfit and her MILF mom thought he was a gift from some guy named Derek. How did this fit into his plans? Maybe he should call it quits and get out while he still could.

Before he could make up his mind he felt the THUMP, THUMP, THUMP of someone coming and became perfectly still, be the bear etc. Kristy’s mom came back into view with some kind of box in her hands. THUMP, THUMP. She disappeared from his view and then the ground caved in and he felt a massive object fall next to him and he fell up against it.

He braced himself instinctively falling up against Kristy’s mom’s thigh. Sure she didn’t noticed that. “JUST HOLD ON A SECOND LITTLE GUY AND MOMMY WILL HAVE YOU ALL FIXED UP.”

What? Fix?

Suddenly he was gripped and turned upside down. His view changed and blood started rushing to your head. He saw through his hole Kristy’s mom’s face then the image changed as he went down the front of her blouse then belt then someplace darker. It was a cavern…wait no he figure it out. He was looking up the giant woman’s skirt. That revilation was made a second before a massive amount of pressure came down on both sides of his head and shoulders.

She was sewing him inside his suit, he realized. Sweat dripped down the side of his face and his heart started to pound. Things were not going as planned. Kristy’s mom secured the stitch and lifted him up to her face to inspect her work. She held him upside down, making the blood pound in his ears.

“I think this will hold.” She said and gave him a squeeze. Her thumb pushed the air out of his lungs and he groaned aloud.

Kristy’s mom looked at him with a strange expression.

“Did you hear that?” She asked Kristy.

“No.” Kristy answered, her attention on the phone in her hands.

Todd held his breath. He was finished. They would catch him for sure. How could he possibly explain himself?

“I think he talks when you squeeze him.” Her mom said. “That’s kind of childish. Why would Derek think I want something like this?”

She squeezed her fingers around him again and he quickly thought of something to say.

“I love you!” He shouted quickly.

Her fingers squeezed him again.

“I hope you’re beary happy!” He yelled.

She laughed and squeezed him hard with both hands. Her thumb pressed against his throat, and cut off his air.

“Hmm. It’s not working.” She frowned.

Todd fought the urge to struggle for air, holding his breath until she let him go.

She squeezed him again, digging her fingers into his stomach and preventing him from saying a word.

“I guess it’s broken. What a cheap gift.” She shrugged. “Kristy, take this thing to the Bell’s little girl next door. I’m sure she’d appreciate it.”

Kristy looked up from her phone and sighed. “Didn’t Derek give you that bear?”

“He knows I don’t like commitment, honey. A broken toy isn’t going to change that.”

“Whatever.”

Kristy snatched him from her mother’s hands, swinging him through the air without caution. Wind whistled through his ears as she swung him around and he prayed that she wouldn’t drop him. She carried him through the front door and across the front lawn.

This wasn’t part of the plan. The whole point was to see Kristy naked, but she was taking him to a completely different house.

“Hey Cynthia!” Kristy called out to a little girl playing on the neighbors lawn. The girl looked up from her toys with a smile.

“Hi Kristy!” She waved.

Kristy knelt down next to her. “I’ve got a present for you.” She smiled.

“Really?”

“Yup. It’s a teddy bear! He looked a little lonely. I thought he could use a friend like you to cheer him up.”

No, Todd thought. This was not what he wanted!

Cynthia took him from Kristy and looked at him carefully.

“He’s cute!” She smiled.

“I’m glad you think so. I’ve got to go now, but I hope you have fun with your new bear friend.” Kristy stood.

“Oh I will!” Cynthia laughed and Todd watched Kristy walk away.

The little girl laughed again and wrapped both her arms around his neck, squeezing him tight against her. “We are going to have so much fun! You’ll see!” She shouted and threw him high into the air.

He flew through the air and watched with wide eyes as the ground came closer and closer. Cynthia stood underneath him with open arms, but he could tell she was standing in the wrong spot.

Instead of catching him, he fell right past her arms, landing face first to the earth.

Cynthia immediately scooped him up and was grateful he had decided to put so much padding into his suit. Who knew he was going to be so abused?

“Cynthia! Come play inside, sweetheart!” A voice called through the open door.

“Kay mom!”

The little girl gathered up her toys, pinning Todd between two Barbie dolls and a plastic pony. The Barbie’s hand dug into his side and she brought everything into the house.

“We’ll play in the living room.” She told her toys. “We need to give our new friend and name and a new outfit.”

Outfit? Todd thought as she skipped into the living room. She let the toys drop to the floor. A plastic teapot knocked him over the head, making his vision blurry.

“What do we name you?” Cynthia asked, picking him up off the floor. She stared at him for a moment, thinking hard.

“Clarence.” She decided with a nod.

Clarence? What a stupid name, Todd thought.

“Alright Clarence. I have the perfect outfit for you.”

He groaned internally. He was not here to play dress up! He needed to find a way back to Kristy’s.

Cynthia stood up. “I’ll be right back. Wait here Clarence.” She ran out of the room, leaving him alone.

He stood up cautiously, wondering how long she would be gone. Maybe he could run out the front door. He might be able to reach the door knob if he jumped. He made his way down the hall and then froze.

A large black door stood between him and the front door. The dog tilted his head to one side, and then bared his teeth with a low growl.

“Woah…” Todd held up his hands and backed away. “Good dog. Nice dog. I’m just a toy. No danger here.”

“Clarence, where’d you go?” He heard Cynthia yell in the other room, and managed to drop to the ground just as she walked around the corner.

“Bailey, Clarence is my toy, not yours.” She told the dog, patting him firmly on the nose. “Bad dog.”

The dog whined and stared at him as Cynthia brought him back to the living room. It looked like getting out of this house would be more difficult than he originally thought. But if they had a dog, they might have a dog door. Maybe he could use it to escape.

He was thinking so furiously about how to get back to Kristy’s house, that he didn’t see the outfit Cynthia had brought for him, until she held it up for him to see.

It was a lacey pink apron with white polka dots. He’d never touched something so girly before, let alone put it on. She wrapped it around his waist, pulling the strings tight and tying an elaborate knot behind him.

“You are beautiful now.” She smiled and Todd held back a groan. “Now you’re dressed for a tea party.”

Tea party? Please, no.

She picked him up and placed him in a pink plastic rocking chair that was much too small for him. It pressed into his sides, and he knew that he would be able to get out on his own. He was trapped.

“Have some tea, Clarence.” She poured an imaginary cup of tea for him and shoved it against his face. “Isn’t that yummy?”

“Hey, clean up your toys Cynth. The girls are coming over for the sleepover in an hour.” A voice said from behind him. It must have been Caitlin. She was friends with Rachel at school.

“Is Kristy going to come?” Cynthia asked.

“Why do you care?”

“She’s nice. She gives me presents.”

“She’ll be there. But you’ll be in bed. I don’t want you bothering us.”

“But I’m ten now. I’m old enough to have a sleepover too.”

“Then have your own.”

He heard Caitlin walk away and thought hard. Maybe he wouldn’t have to escape at all. Kristy was going to be here in an hour, presumably with other girls. Could his luck finally be turning around?

“Let’s play a new game, Clarence. Let’s play pretend. You be Caitlin and I’ll be me. You haven’t been very nice Caitlin.” She said with an expression that made him uneasy. “Mean girls like you need to be punished.”

As if the pink apron wasn’t punishment enough.

“You look a little dirty, Caitlin. I think it’s time for a bath.”

She pick him up, pulling the rocking chair off him, and carried him down the hall.

His heart started to pound. She was just playing pretend, right? She wouldn’t actually punish him.

She opened the bathroom door and placed him on the counter next to the sink. She twisted the hot and cold taps until the water was pouring into the sink full blast, the pulled up the drain so the water began to fill up the basin.

Steam rose from the water and Todd began to sweat. She was still young, so maybe if she saw him move no one would believe her. He could run away. He might get caught, but if he didn’t this bath might be his last.

The muscles in his leg twitched as he weighed his options. The sink was almost full.

“Mean girls take long baths.” She said and picked him up before he could move.

She held him over the water and he could feel the steam through the suit.

She was going to kill him if he didn’t do something.

He opened his mouth to scream, when there was a knock on the bathroom door.

“Cynthia, it’s time for bed honey.” Her mom peaked in through the door. “What are you doing in here?”

“My bear needs a bath.” She said.

“Hmm.” Her mom stepped inside and placed one finger on her chin. “He doesn’t look dirty to me.” She picked him up gently. “I haven’t seen him before. Is he new?”

“Kristy gave him to me.”

“Kristy from next door? That was nice of her. What’s his name?”

“Clarence.”

“That’s a sweet name. Why don’t you brush your teeth and I’ll go bring Clarence to your room. I’ve got a present for you.” She gestured to a package under her arm.

Cynthia nodded with a wistful glance in his direction and let the water drain out of the sink.

Her mom turned, tucked him under the arm with the present, and carried him up the stairs. He thanked her silently for getting him away from Cynthia just in time. She pushed open a door at the end of the hall and flipped on the light.

She set him on the bed without looking and turned around as her daughter entered the room.

“Teeth all clean?” She asked and Cynthia nodded.

Todd looked at the open door and wondered how he would get away from these two once the sleepover started.

“I saw these and thought you would like them.” She held out the package.

Cynthia took it from her mom with an excited smile and started to rip the paper open.

Her mom sat down on the bed to watch, and sat directly on top of him.

Todd gasped, pressed firmly into the mattress. He thanked his luck again that he had stuffed his suit with so much padding. The thought of what would have happened to him without it was concerning.

“Cute new pajamas!” Cynthia said. It sounded like she was smiling, though Todd could barely concentrate under her mom’s crushing weight.

“Put them on.” Her mom encouraged and shifted her weight on top of him.

There was some rustling as Cynthia changed. He only hoped that there wouldn’t be a full fashion show. It was getting more and more difficult to breathe.

“Alright, into bed now.” Her mom said and the incredible weight disappeared as she stood.

“Mom! You were sitting on top of Clarence!” Cynthia exclaimed and rushed to the bed.

“Whoops! He was so soft I didn’t even notice. Sorry, honey.”

“It’s okay.” Cynthia said and climbed under the covers. Todd wondered if he could “accidently” fall of the side of the bed without either of them noticing, but then Cynthia wrapped both her arms around his neck, squeezing tight.

Her mom leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, then planted a light kiss on his face as well.

“Goodnight you two.” She smiled and turned off the light. Her hand closed around the doorknob and Todd began to panic. If she closed the door he would be trapped in here all night! This doorknob was round, unlike the front door. Even if he jumped he wasn’t sure he would be able to grab onto it. Not with this bear suit on anyway.

“Wait! Can you leave it open tonight?” Cynthia asked quietly.

“Do you want the hall light on too?”

“Yes please.” Todd did an inward dance.

“No problem. Goodnight.”

“Night.”

Her mom left the door open and padded quietly down the hall. He was right. His luck was finally changing. Now if this girl would just let go of him.

As if she read his thoughts, Cynthia’s arms clenched down on his neck, wrapping around him like a vise. He would just have to wait for her to fall asleep.

Twenty minutes later he heard the doorbell ring. The dog barked and soon the little house echoed with quiet giggles. The girls were here.

His heart sped up. It was hard to tell if Cynthia was asleep or awake because he couldn’t turn around. He listened for a moment. She seemed to be breathing deeply. Even if she wasn’t asleep he had to act fast! He had to get into Caitlin’s room before the girls did, or they’d see him coming.

He held his breath and wiggled his shoulder. Cynthia didn’t move. He took a chance and wiggled his legs. Nothing. She must be asleep. Carefully, he pried one of her hands from off his neck and slipped out of her grasp, falling to the floor with a soft thud.

The giggles wafted up from the bottom floor, and he suddenly realized that he didn’t know where Caitlin’s room was. He heard footsteps on the stairs. They were coming.

He sprinted out the door and into the hall. The first door on his left was the bathroom, he remembered. The next door on the same side was shut. He skipped it and hurried to the door at the end of the hall. It was open, but the lights were off. He couldn’t see anything inside.

“Thanks for coming, girls.” He heard Caitlin say, and he darted into the dark room.

He ran into what might have been a dresser, but he couldn’t tell. The voices followed him and he had just enough time to fall limp to the floor before the light turned on and a group of girls filed in.

The light blinded him for a moment, but once he was able to see he saw Caitlin, Cynthia’s older sister, Kristy, and Rachel. There were two other girls he didn’t recognize, but once he saw Rachel there, he didn’t care.

She was the girl he had liked. Kristy had prevented them from being together. His anger towards Kristy grew and he felt more resolve than ever to catch her naked.

Caitlin and one of the girls he didn’t know saw cross-legged on the bed. Caitlin threw pillows to the girls on the floor. Kristy was the closest to him, maybe a foot away.

“So tell us about Derek.” Caitlin teased Kristy, and the other girls laughed.

“Get your own sex life.” Kristy teased back and tossed the pillow she was sitting on towards Caitlin’s face.

Caitlin caught it mid air with a smile. “You’re not getting this back.”

“Fine.” Kristy said and looked around. “Then I’ll sit on your bear.” She scooted over and sat directly on top of him. The carpet wasn’t nearly as forgiving as Cynthia’s bed had been, and he felt her weight crushing him into the floor. He started to panic, not knowing how much longer he could take so much pressure.

“No more gossip.” She said above him. “Let’s play a game.”

“I’m down.” Caitlin sat up.

“What kind of game?” Rachel asked, clearly more hesitant.

“How about… truth or dare?” Kristy suggested.

The other girls started to giggle.

“We’ll need something to pass around. How about this?” Kristy leaned forward, onto her knees, and pulled Todd into the air. He saw Rachel on the other side of the room and watched her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.“Whoever is holding it has to choose. Truth or dare.”

“You’re holding it, so you go first.” Caitlin grinned. “Kristy. Truth or dare?”

“Dare.” Kristy said bravely.

“I dare you to take off your shirt. Prove you’re not a stuffer.”

“Who says I’m a stuffer?” Kristy asked with a laugh. She set him down in her lap and pulled her shirt high over her head. Her boobs bounced up and down in her bra, right above his head.

“I’m all real.” She smirked. “Let’s see. Who’s next?” She mused and held him to her chest. Suddenly he found himself flying through the air, the room spinning around him widely. He landed face first in between Rachel’s legs.

“No, it’s okay.” She shook her head.

“Truth or dare.” Kristy asked, impassive.

“I don’t really want--”

“Answer the question.” Caitlin urged her.

“But you guys will just tease me about Todd if I say truth.”

“Then say dare.” One of the other girls shrugged.

She was silent for a moment and then sighed. “Fine. Dare.”

“I dare you to make out with that bear like it was Todd.”

“I knew you guys would make fun of me!” She protested. Todd blushed, glad that no one could see.

“Kiss! Kiss!” The girls chanted together.

Rachel picked him up gingerly. She leaned forward, he held his breath, and she touched her lips gently to the face of his bear suit.

“Make out with him!” Caitlin laughed. “You know you want to.”

Rachel paused and then began to kiss him fervently. Her tongue slid out of her mouth and ran along the seam of the bear’s lips. It was over as quickly as it had began.

Soon he was flying through the air again, tossed from girl to girl, a part of their game.

“I’m tired.” Caitlin yawned suddenly, stretching her arms high over her head. “What do you girls say we get some sleep?”

“I’m down.” Kristy nodded as Caitlin went to the window, cracking it open to let a cool breeze circulate through the room. The girls made their way around the room to their various bags. Todd fell to the ground, lost in the shuffle. Rachel stood where she was went to her bag on the other side of the bed. Her heel came down on his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He gasped loudly, but the girls were chatting too loudly to hear. He rolled onto his side, holding his stomach. Before he could react one of the other girls stepped on his back. Black spots danced in front of his eyes, and another girl’s foot kicked him in the side. The force of her kick sent him rolling under the bed.

Finally out of sight, he curled in on himself, wondering if it was worth all this.

“Where did that bear go?” He heard Rachel ask. A hand reached under the bed and pulled him into the light. “Oh, here you are.” She smiled and held him close. “You’re sleeping with me tonight.”

The girls climbed onto Caitlin’s bed, snuggling close together.

“Is there an extra pillow I can put between my legs?” Rachel asked. “It helps my back.”

“I don’t think so.” Caitlin looked around. “Sorry.”

She shrugged and slid Todd down her body, over her stomach, and between her legs. He could feel her soft lips through her underwear, and then her thigh came down and pressed him between her legs. It would be impossible to sleep that way, pressed so tightly between her legs he could barely breathe. It was going to be a long night.

The girls began to stir once the sun came up, shining gently through the open window. Rachel finally released him from the vise of her legs, leaving him on the bed as they all got up.

“I’m going to take a shower. There’s another shower downstairs if anyone else wants one.” Caitlin announced and strolled down the hall.

“I want one. But we can all take turns if you want.” Kristy told the others.

Todd waited on the bed as the other girls milled around the room, waiting for their turn to shower. He was sore and bruised from the abuse he’d been put through in the last day, and he wanted to stretch his arms and maybe take a hot bath, but he must stay still.

Caitlin and Kristy returned from their showers will short towels wrapped under their arms, and Rachel left to shower as well. His eyes widened. Maybe this was his chance. He only needed for one of their towels to slip. Just one.

Kristy grabbed some lotion from her nightstand and propped up one leg on the bed, right on top of him. Her heel pushed him into the mattress as she rubbed the lotion onto her smooth leg. He might have been able to see up the little towel, but her foot mashed the side of his face into the sheets. Once she was done she removed her leg, and then immediately placed her other foot onto his face, lotioning up her other leg.

Rachel returned from her shower and sat down next to him on the bed. She was saying something to the other girls, but he couldn’t hear with Kristy covering most of his head. Eventually she stood, and Kristy held down a corner of Rachel’s towel with her foot. As Rachel walked away the towel fell on top of him.

He heard her gasp and try to grab the towel, but he couldn’t see anything because the wet fabric was on top of him. Kristy must have taken hold of the other end of the towel, because Rachel didn’t get it back.

“Oh come on. We’re all girls here.” Caitlin laughed and Todd wanted to scream. He was so close!

Rachel apparently grabbed her bag and ran out of the room, because he didn’t hear her anymore, and when Kristy finally removed the towel from his face to hang it up, all the girls were fully clothed once more.

He fumed. He had gone through so much, come so close, and for nothing. The girls went downstairs for breakfast and he knew that he was done. It was time to escape. He couldn’t go downstairs though. He would be seen for sure.

The sunlight through the window caught his eye. It was still open. Caitlin hadn’t closed the window when she left. He stood up. His muscles were sore like he had just ran a marathon. He dropped to the floor and made his way over to Caitlin’s desk, next to the window. Getting onto the desk chair was a little tricky because it kept spinning around, but as soon as he was up, getting onto the desk was easy.

The window had a small ledge that he could reach if he jumped. He moved to the edge of the desk and looked down. It was only a height of three or four feet, but when he was this small, he knew he could hurt himself if he fell.

The ledge was a few inches away. One good jump should be enough. He took a deep breath and leaped towards the window, catching himself on the curtains. The breeze wafted in and he realized he could feel it through his suit. There must be a hole in it somewhere.

He felt around and realized that the stitching in the back had come undone. He wasn’t sure when it had happened, but he peeled off the suit happily, letting it fall to the floor.

He peaked out the window and saw a tall rose vine that grew up a lattice from the ground to the window. If he could avoid the thorns, it would be perfect for climbing. As he pushed the window open a little wider, the metal frame screeched loudly and he froze. He looked at the door, hoping no one had heard. When no one came, he ducked down to lower himself out the window. Then he heard a growl.

The dog was back, standing in the doorway, teeth bared.

“Nice dog.” He held out one hand. “I’m just leaving, look. You won’t have to worry about me anymore. Be a good dog.”

He barked loudly and sprinted towards the window.

Todd shouted and scrambled onto the rose lattice, climbing down as quickly as he could. The dog stuck his head out the window and barked so loud he lost his rip on the lattice. He fell the rest of the way down, landing on his back in the grass.

The dog continued to bark from the window, but all he could see was blue sky. He had made it out. He was free.

It took him a moment to get to his feet, but once he did he knew that all he had to do was get to his car. Then he could unshrink himself and this nightmare would finally be over.

He ran along the side of the house and into the front yard, but was puzzled to see boxes and furniture covering the lawn. Six or seven people were wandering through the boxes. A yard sale.

A line of cars was parked in front of the house that stretched down the street. If he could make it to those cars he could run underneath them without being seen. His car was just around the corner. He only had to make it to that line of cars.

He hid behind one of the large boxes, and jumped across a sunny patch of grass to the next box. Then he ran underneath a long white folding table, and behind a rack of clothes. The cars were five feet away, but there was no more junk to hide behind.

He looked around cautiously. Everyone seemed preoccupied. If he moved fast enough they would assume he was an animal if they saw him at all. He darted out into the open, towards the line of cars, and found himself pinned to the grass with a searing pain running through his body.

A woman had stepped on him, her stiletto heel planted firmly on his groin, the toe of her shoe pushing his chest deep into the grass. The soft dirt prevented her heel from spearing him completely, but the pain was still intense.

The woman looked down and removed her shoe. The world spun around him and he couldn’t focus, too sore to move. She peeled him up off the grass and squeezed him tightly.

“Woah.” She looked down at him. “What a soft toy.”

He looked up at her with bleary eyes and was surprised to see that it was his mother holding him. He opened his mouth to get her attention, but she squeezed him again, forcing all the air out of his lungs. He sagged, unable to muster the energy to move or speak.

His mother carried him back into the yard sale and towards Caitlin’s mother.

“Hey Dina. I just found this stress toy. It squishes the perfect amount.” She smiled and squeezed him again. “Plus he looks a little bit like Todd. Maybe it’s cruel of me, but having a stress toy that looks like him might be good for me.” She laughed. “That boy has been getting into all kind of trouble lately trying to catch girls with their clothes off. Honestly, I don’t know what to do with him.”

Dina nodded sympathetically.

“How much do you want for this?” His mother asked.

Dina looked at him and Todd could see the confusion on her face. But she named a price anyway.

“Ten dollars.”

“Done.” His mother reached into her purse and pulled out her wallet. “Best purchase I’ve made in weeks.” She gave him another tight squeeze.

“Have a great day Janice.” Caitlin’s mother waved as they walked away.

“Oh I will now.” His mother said and dropped him into the dark void of her bright pink purse.
