Emma and Kowalski walked up to the half completed Shrink Ray, and they discussed what they had to do next. They needed to put the actual device which made things shrink into the outer casing, and attach it carefully. Then they needed to install a switch. Emma put her music on, and picked up the shrinking device, and took it over to Kowalski.
"Ok, so we just need to put this into the outer casing." He said, as he unscrewed the bottom of the casing and held part of the shrinking device, helping Emma put it in very carefully. The two of them got some wires and started attaching them to the shrinking device, the inside of the handle, where the switch would be, and to the disc.
"Hey what happened to that Shrink Ray you made sometime last year? Y'know the one you made a few weeks before you made Jiggles?" Emma asked curiously.
"I accidentally dropped it in the lake in Central Park, when I was trying to Shrink a fish." Kowalski admitted, looking a bit embarrassed. Emma smiled at this, and forced back a little giggle, tickling the back of her throat. They continued working on the device, though they had to go up to training for a few hours. After that finished, they immediately went into the lab, and got back to work, tapping their feet long to the music as they did so. Emma's heart was beating faster than usual, and Kowalski's stomach was feeling giddy and queasy. They chatted to eachother cheerfully, trying to hide their shyness. As the day went on they progressed nicely, they just had to install a switch.
"Ok, so where are we going to get a switch?" Emma asked starting at the almost completed Shrink Ray with pride.
"Hmm, well we could get a simple switch from an electronics store or we could build one." Kowalski replied thoughtfully. Emma thought this over.
"How long would one take to build?" She asked.
"Only about half an hour." Kowalski answered cheerfully.
"Well lets do that then." Emma decided brightly. She picked up a few parts, and began to put them together, and attaching the wires to it. Kowalski started to help, being careful not to put the wires in the wrong place. They worked in silence, too fixed on the switch to talk. Emma was making a little fantasy in her head, and a small smile tugged at her face. After about 25 minutes, they finished the little switch, and attached it to the Shrink Ray.
"There we go, all finished." Kowalski announced proudly. Emma looked at the completed shrink ray and grinned. They had also added a reverse setting, so they could regrow shrunk things.
"Lets test it." Emma said excitedly, picking up, and blasting it at a screwdriver. A strange green light came out of the Shrink Ray, and shrunk the screwdriver to a fraction of it's size. Then Emma pressed the reverse button, and a eerie purple light shot out and re grew the screwdriver to normal size.
"Woah.." Kowalski marvelled. "It works better than I expected!" He said happily. Him and Emma smiled at eachother and they ran out to show the others. Skipper was pleased about this invention, which surprised Emma and Kowalski.
"We can now infiltrate enemy bases and not be seen or set off any alarms." He realised, looking satisfied. Emma looked smug, and she grinned at Kowalski.
"Caniaveaook?" (Can I have a look?) Rico asked.
"Sure." Emma replied brightly, passing the ray to her brother. Rico looked at it, and when he looked into the dish, he accidentally pressed the button. Suddenly, the green light shout out, and he shrunk to just under the size of Private's Lunacorn. Emma let out a little giggle, and she picked up the shrink ray, about to change him back.
"Aitaminute." (Wait a minute) Rico said in a high pitched, quiet voice. He ran over to Private's Lunacorn, and sat on the back on it, riding around on it, laughing in a crazy, high pitched voice. Emma burst out laughing, and she had to sit down to calm herself down. It was one pf the funniest things she had ever seen. A cheeky thought popped into her head. She pulled out her phone, and took a photo of tiny Rico on the Lunacorn, and stuffed the phone back into her bag before anyone noticed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Skipper smirking at her. She grinned at him. Kowalski took the shrink ray, and restored Rico back to his normal size. Rico looked a bit annoyed but he didn't say anything. Emma looked outside and realised that the sky was darkening to a navy blue colour.
"Ooh NCIS: Los Angeles is about to start!" Emma realised, turning on the Tv with excitement, and lying on her belly. The others lay down next to her, and Emma lost herself in the program. She was very glad because the episode was centered around her favourite character, even though he got shot, which worried her greatly. She stared at the screen, hoping he would survive. Kowalski saw her expression, and he squeezed her flipper comfortingly, making a fuzzy warmth course through Emma's entire body. She blushed, and smiled at Kowalski shyly, before focusing on the Tv again. About 15 minutes later a big wave a relief washed over her when she realised that the character would survive. Emma beamed at the Tv, and carried on watching the episode, feeling content and happy. Part of her was still nervous because Kowalski was lying down very close to her. When it finished, Emma started flicking through the channels, trying to find something on. Her eyes were caught by one channel, which first had an Olly Murs top 10 songs on, followed by a Taylor Swift top 10, and after that a Westlife top 20. Her eyes lit up and she went even closer to the Tv, almost buzzing with anticipation. She realised that it was on for 4 hours which made her even happier. Private was also quite excited by that, and he sat up on the floor, and got comfy.
"Y'know sis, I just remembered that Shirtless Ninja action theater is on." Skipper teased, grinning widely.
"No freaking chance." Emma replied, smirking at him and holding the controls protectively. Skipper chuckled, which surprised Emma greatly. She couldn't even remember the last time he laughed. Emma made an excited squeal when it started, and she relaxed on the floor, gazing at the Tv, and trying not to giggle like a little schoolgirl. As she watched the Tv, the time flew by and before she knew it, that last Westlife song finished. Emma looked up at the clock, and saw that it was 1am. She looked around and realised that nearly everyone was already in bed. Surprise filled her, and her brain only just registered, that Skipper Rico and Private had told her that they were going bed 2 hours ago. She giggled at herself, and got up. Kowalski was sitting at the table, and scribbling on his clipboard.
"Heading bed Em?" He asked, looking up at her.
"Yupperdoodle." Emma replied cheerfully.
"Me too, I'm getting a bit tired." Kowalski said, and he headed for his bunk,with Emma closely behind him. They hopped into their bunks and Emma thought about what he had learned last night. She was a little surprised that she wasn't fully penguin, but she also found it really cool too.
I wonder if any of my family will be in my dreams tonight? She thought, before falling asleep.
"Ok, so we just need to put this into the outer casing." He said, as he unscrewed the bottom of the casing and held part of the shrinking device, helping Emma put it in very carefully.
