Chapter Seven: Later That Day The military and the police were still in the parking lot of the junior high school. Lathan, Candy, Darnell and the woman from the future were standing around when a general asked Lathan for any future technology he still had. Lathan went to the trunk of his muscle car and got the duffel bag, and handed it over to the general. Becky’s father the police officer hugged his daughter. The general looked the six girls over and asked, “Did that girl give you any technology?” They showed him the rings they wore that Decimatrix had given them. “Take them off right now, and hand them over!” the general demanded. “General, I don’t think that’s a good idea!” said Lathan. “I give the orders around here!” the general shouted at Lathan, then turned and spoke to the Dollingers, and to Taffy, Becky and Christine. “Give me those rings!” The six of them took off the rings and handed them to the general, then they shot up to hundreds of feet tall. They were the same

Chapter Six: Let The Games Begin! Ezekiel Jones had been walking through the Guadalupe dunes looking for crashed weather balloons. He walked across a dune when he saw the Dollingers, Christine and Decimatrix. Lana, Lexie and Decimatrix were playing disk golf, while Storm and Christine were standing at a table, watching the game. The five girls were too far away to have that kind of visual clarity. He could see dozens of dunes between himself and the girls, yet they seemed close enough that he could see the details of their clothing and facial features. He cringed when he saw Christine’s violet and green cheer uniform. He looked further, and saw disk golf cages much further away than the girls were. Decimatrix threw a disk, and it came close to one of the cages. Lana threw hers, and it came closer to the cage they were aiming for than the one Decimatrix threw. Lana and Lexie cheered. Decimatrix gave them a dirty look, and they calmed down out of fear of angering her. Ezekiel

Chapter Four: Negotiations Lathan sat at a table in the inpatient unit of the county general hospital of Matheson county, speaking with the woman from the future who had been mistakenly identified as an escaped mental patient. “Can the enlarger be repaired?” Lathan asked. “Absolutely not,” the woman replied, “not without the technology of my era.” “Let me explain how the growth device works,” said the woman from the future. “the enlarger works by establishing a dimensional membrane around the body of the person being enlarged. A dimensional cascade effect is established so that what happens to one atom in the center of their body happens to all of the atoms within that dimensional membrane. Then it shunts matter from another dimension into the sub-atomic particles of the girls’ bodies. “A dimensional lock between that other dimension and our space time continuum has been established, and if the girls are brought back down to normal size, that excess matter will always be

Chapter Three: Battle of the Bratty Behemoths! While Lathan and Candy sped off to find Daniel Darnell, Taffy, Becky and Christine stomped their way toward the Dollinger trio. All six girls were over 300 feet tall. The teachers had evacuated the students to the far side of the school onto the playing field, as they had done for emergency drills. Taffy and Becky were the same age as Lana and Lexi, so they attacked each other. Since Christine was a seventh grader she confronted Storm, who was also in seventh grade. The fight was on! Some of the kids on the field were rooting for the cheerleaders, while others were rooting for the Dollingers. Lathan had taught his sisters and cousin how to block with karate moves. The cheerleaders could strike and scratch their opponents, but they weren’t as good at blocking as the Dollingers. Lana, Lexie and Storm had practiced some fighting strategies in the past that were unconventional, and now Storm wanted to try one out. She jumped down behind

Chapter One: An Atypical Day In Bullet Bay It was a beautiful late spring morning in Bullet Bay, a small community in Matheson county on California’s sunny central coast. Matheson county was nestled between Santa Barbara county and San Luis Obispo county. Two eighth grade twin sisters were inside the Dollinger residence watching the news with their parents and older brother. A news story about an escaped female mental patient was being shown. There was a knock on the door, and their thirteen year old cousin entered the home. “Storm, we almost left without you!” said Lathan, the seventeen year old brother of the twins. “Lana and Lexi have been ready for twenty minutes! I told you yesterday I have something I need to do before school this morning, and I need to drop you three off earlier today!” “Sorry cuz,” Storm replied. “I couldn’t make up my mind what to wear.” The three girls carried their backpacks to Lathan’s car, a muscle car from the late 60’s. Lathan didn’t pay attention

Chapter One: A Strange Day Has Found Her The ocean front home in Matheson county on California’s central coast was immaculate. It had a large two car garage, and was one story spread over a large parcel of land. On the other side of the road in front of the home was a park that ended at a cliff, and the Pacific Ocean gleamed beneath it. Heidi Hayes was a 13 year old junior high school student. Her parents were saying goodbye to her as they went away for their anniversary in Las Vegas for the weekend. “I hope you’ll be okay by yourself this weekend,” said Violet Hayes, the girl’s 35 year old mother. “You’re 13 now, you should be old enough to take care of yourself.” “I’m more than ready to be on my own, mom!” Heidi’s parents hugged her and got in their new car and drove off. Heidi closed the door behind her, and got on her cell phone. “Kelsie? My parents are gone for the weekend! I have the house to myself! We need to come up with a plan so I can become as popular as Nicki
