The pounding pain in your head quickly subsides as soon as you heard the loud noise of buzzing. Lot of buzzing! Having PTSD flashbacks of that one time you inadvertently found a very hyperactive africanized honey bee nest, you quickly curl up into a ball and hope it'll be quick cuz you cant outrun those bastards!
Thankfully, you suffered no stings. That loud buzzing wasnt even from bees. They were actually fireflies. It was pitch black in the middle of this wide open field that seemed to go on for miles with only the majestic glow from the swarms of fireflies to light the area.
It was mesmerizing watching the tiny little nights dance about illuminating the darkness like the super bright lit up signs all over Las Vegas. All it needed was some catchy upbeat music to play in the background and you could watch this spectacle all night,
That is until one of those hundreds and hundreds of fireflies stopped in the middle of their flying and landed just near you! It was then you learned that you were shrunk.
The firefly was huge. HUGE! Like as big a horse! Big and freakishly ugly like most insects at close range! You gazed in horror hopefully outside of it's sight (though you couldnt tell cuz it's thousands of optical orbs were looking all directions!) as it stopped to groom it's antennae. As much as you wanted to question where you are and what happened to your size, that was currently on the backburner as your primary focus was trying to avoid being detected by ANY of these giant fireflies, let alone the one just in front of you! You had no idea they if were carnivorous and you did not wanna take any chances (and if you DID know, you'd be even MORE terrified!)
However that huge firefly quickly became the least of your problems as well! Because you were distracted by the bug, you didnt see the even more colossal figure fly toward you until a very large shoe landed on the grass near where youre standing! The big firefly quickly flew away, not so much out of fear, but out of convenience for the titanic figure now in view!
Before you stood a humongous green-haired girl in a white shirt, blue bloomers, and a black cape (with a red interior). You wouldnt have thought of her THAT out of the ordinary if you didnt notice the antennae sticking out of her green hair! And they werent for show either. They twitched! And after they twitched, you watched with utmost attention while the fireflies buzzed circles around her, again you were unable to avert your eyes from the glow. Especially from her!
Literally, she was glowing! You gazed with disbelief and an awful bit of intrigued as her hips shined a bright light in the same flashing pattern as the fireflies surrounding her. Shamed to say it took a little more effort than it should of to snap you out of it! This colossal girl you were glancing up at was a bonna fide bug girl! Not a girl who was fascinated with bugs, but a girl who actually WAS a bug!
Fascinating discovery if you werent the size of an ACTUAL bug! Priorities, man. You were in need of desperate help and you desperately wanted help desperately! Your first thought would be the get the giant bug girl's attention.
But then the second reminded you that she was a bug girl. Not a human girl. BUG GIRL. To other creatures, you were no longer at the top of the foodchain and since you were already worried about being firefly food, you oughta most certainly be worried about being bug girl food too!
To be fair, she doesnt seem to be FERAL bug girl what with wearing such humanish clothes and such, so maybe talking her into helping you wouldnt be THAT unreasonable, right?
