"Uh oh." Matt said aloud as he noticed a lot of the water starting to gush out down his chest and straight into his belly button. Waiting for a second, Matt sat still as he carefully watched all the water start to slowly funnel out of the straw and down his body. Sighing, Matt started to slowly peel apart the ride from under his arms and going down his chest. Looking down his body, Matt reached a finger gingerly into his navel, quickly retrieving his tiny boss. Lifting him up to his giant face, Matt smiled as he rubbed the top of his head.
"Guess it leaked a little, huh boss?" Matt said as he watched Josh start to cough up a little water and wipe it from his face.
"Yeah going to have to make a few little changes, but over all I think it's a fantastic ride! We need to do clear tubes, the view would be amazing for our guests!" Josh exclaimed, as he finished drying off his face.
"Amazing?" Matt said as his face turned a little red by the compliment. Looking down at his own body, Matt tried to imagine how it would look to circle himself from a tiny prospective. Giving up, he smiled as he looked down at his teeny boss on his finger tip once more.
"Yeah..." Josh said a little leery. "Either way, We can have the ride constructed right away! We'll also need a new room added to the side of the park leading into a spot where the person wearing the ride can easily access."
"What if we just made an extension to the break room, that way when two of us are on duty we can just go from there to the new ride's room?" Matt questioned as he stood up and walked Josh over to the balcony.
"That would work, by why do we need two people? Wasn't the point of the ride so that you can be the ride and be on duty?" Josh asked curiously.
Matt crossed his arms, covering his round pecs as he frowned. "Well, dude. From the test run I think we learned that if something goes wrong we can't have the dude wearing the ride to be the one saving someone. We should be in pairs so one of us is there to keep the little peeps safe."
Josh's mind wandered a little, imagining the new area being built and having two massive muscular giants there. One with tinies lining up to ride down the water slide all over him, and the other sitting there with his feet propped up blowing a whistle every once in a while when some tiny person started to run around. For a second, Josh wasn't sure if most guests will be terrified or in love with the new addition. Confident, Josh shook his head yes to Matt's suggestion knowing that some people are sure to be interested in this totally optional experience of Shrink and Swim.

Over the course of the day, Josh and Matt worked out getting the room expanded and getting in contact with a contractor. The ride itself took minutes to create, however the contractors took up the rest of the day making the new section for the park both safe for the little guests and spacious for the giant lifeguards.
The room was finished, it had the new ride made with an easy to slip on fashion, a spot for the giant wearing the ride to sit with a pool down just under crotch level, and a wooden staircase built for tinies to wait in line at the top. Second the area had a small set of restrooms and a concession stand. Away a little from the balcony there was a second seat, a little cushier than the seat made for the ride, where the second supervisor giant would be stationed.
Josh stood full sized in the room at closing time, admiring the rapid work done today. Smiling, Josh looked at the tiny balcony sitting even at Josh's small knee high height. Matt came through the door, still wearing nothing but his board shorts as he walked up to his little boss and put the shorter man in a headlock.
"Yooooooooo boss!" Matt yelled as he pulled Josh into his chest. Josh could feel Matt's shark's tooth necklace start to dig into the back of his head while he gasped for air.
"Ack! Matt! -top!" Josh croaked trying to get the taller man to release him. Laughing, Matt removed his arm from around his boss's neck and watched as he started to catch his breath.
"So boss, what are we calling this new ride anyway?" Matt asked, putting a hand on Josh's shoulder, causing him to flinch. Rubbing his throat, Josh was a little surprised by the question.
"Well it was your idea, I just figured you'd have a name." Josh said matter of factly. Matt smiled widely as he rested his arm down Josh's side and pulled him in closer to his still bare torso. Stretching out a hand as if to point at the horizon Matt simply stated, "The Dude Flume."
Josh shook his head, placing his palm on his face over the name of the ride. It was oddly perfect for the ride however. "Alright, The Dude Flume it is. Just so you know I'm having you operate the ride for most of the day tomorrow. It's the first day, so be sure you have your game face on."
Matt saluted Josh as he put on a contorted looking face. "Dude, I always have my game face on!" He said excitedly. "So who's working with me?"
"Who do you want?" Josh asked, not really wanting to make a decision.
Matt smiled again as he looked down at his boss and said...
