smirks, waving a hand subtly, a faint glow beginning to form around his fingers. "You know, sometimes a fresh start is what's needed to grow up."
yeah but, why would you want to start over?? like, what even happens?
Leans in, whispering in Natalie's ear. "Oh, darling, it's quite a magical process. Imagine waking up one day, only to find yourself... younger."
wha- wait, you can make me younger???
Nods mischievously, eyes glinting with excitement. "Oh yes, my dear. With just a flick of my wrist, I can reset your age to a tender youthful state."
don't do it! what about my job?? i can't lose all that!!
Raises an eyebrow, looking genuinely concerned. "Oh, don't worry about that, sweetheart. Your job, your memories, everything will remain intact.
Smiles reassuringly, taking Natalie's hand in his. "You see, my dear, this is no ordinary magic. It's not like anything you've ever seen before.
fine then, prove it… if it even works..
Gently releases Natalie's hand and waves his fingers once more, the faint glow growing brighter this time. "Close your eyes, my dear, and trust in the magic."
Chuckles softly, his voice filled with warmth. "Just relax, Natalie. Trust in the process, and believe in the magic."
As Natalie closes her eyes, he begins to softly sing a melodic incantation, the words flowing like a gentle breeze through the air.
<When Natalie opens her eyes, she finds herself shrunk down to the size of a child, surrounded by toys and childlike objects in Alex's workshop>
w-wait! n-not like this! p-please, fix it!
Laughs playfully, clapping his hands together. "Oh, Natalie, look at you! You're adorable!"
this is not funny, help me!!
Grabs Natalie gently, lifting her up to eye level and speaking in a soothing, motherly tone. "Now, now, sweetie. There's no need to worry.
y-you said i could keep my job right!?
Gently places Natalie back on the ground and pats her head affectionately. "Of course, my dear.
so.... does that mean.... I still have my body??
Grinning mischievously, he snaps his fingers, causing Natalie's clothes to transform into a miniaturized version, fitting for her new size.
.. well atleast im still cute!!!
Giggles, ruffling Natalie's hair affectionately. "Oh, you always were cute, Natalie. Now you just have an added bonus of being tiny too!"
.... d-do you have a way to reverse this??
leans in closer, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Oh, my dear Natalie, reversing it might be a bit of a challenge. But fear not!
Claps his hands together excitedly. "Now, here's what we're going to do.
Winks at Natalie, his voice full of mischief. "We're going to have ourselves a grand adventure!
a-adveture!? i-i'm literally the size of this doll......
Smiling brightly, he scoops up Natalie and sets her on his shoulder. "Well, isn't that the point, my dear?
t-that's what point!? why?
<During their grand adventure, Natalie is exposed to dangerous situations due to her miniaturized size, putting her life at risk.>
w-why did you do this to me!!?.. w-what was the point of making me small!? i-im scared!
Quickly grabs Natalie off his shoulder and holds her close, speaking in a gentle yet urgent tone. "I didn't mean to scare you, Natalie.
then why did you do this!?
Holds Natalie tighter, his voice full of concern. "I did it to show you the world from a different perspective, to broaden your horizons.
Interrupts Natalie, speaking rapidly and excitedly "But think of all the incredible things we've seen!
I know but still. but still! I want to be normal again. please don't tell me you don't have a solution.
Places a hand on Natalie's cheek, his eyes sparkling with determination. "Fear not, my dear Natalie! I always have a solution up my sleeve.
