Roxy stomped her tiny foot.
"Nobody shrinks Rocket Girl!"
The little girl now looked like a giant.
Roxy watched the girl skip away.
"La, la, la!" the girl sang.
Roxy flew after the girl and fired her eye laser beams.
Whiz-hoo! The tiny laser beams bounced off the girl's neck.
Roxy fired again and again.
Whiz-hoo! Whiz-hoo!
"What was that?" the girl said, feeling her neck.
"It feels like mosquitoes are biting me."
The girl skipped some more.
Then she looked up at Metro City Grand Hotel.
"That's a cute building!" said the girl.
She aimed the device at the building.
"I have to stop this girl," thought Roxy.
"But how? I'm too small."
Roxy thought for a moment.
Then she had an idea.
Zoom! Roxy flew inside the device.
She could see all sorts of wires and gears.
Roxy fired her eye laser beams again. Whiz-hoo!
Ka-boom! Roxy flew back out as the device exploded in the girl's hand.
The girl looked down at the broken device.
She sniffed. Her lip shook.
Tears filled her eyes.
"Waa-aa! Waa-aa!" the girl cried.
"My shrink ray is broken!"
Suddenly a man and woman ran toward her.
They were both wearing space suits.
"Abba!" said the man.
"Your mom and I were looking for you."
"The shrink ray is broken!" Abba cried.
"You're not supposed to play with that!" said the girl's mom.
Her dad looked around and frowned.
"You shrank a bunch of things for your collection, didn't you?"
Abba nodded.
"You shouldn't do that," said her mom.
"I'm sorry," said Abba.
"You're grounded," said her dad.
Abba's mom rubbed her chin.
"I'll get the un-shrink ray."
Roxy flew up to Abba's mom.
"Hi!" said Roxy. "Can you un-shrink people?"
"Of course," said Abba's mom.
"And all the buildings and everything else too."
"Great!" said Roxy.
She thought for a second.
"There's one building that can stay small though."
Metro City was soon back to normal.
Everything and everyone was the right size.
Abba and her parents returned to space.
Roxy and her friends walked home from school.
"Look!" cried Mara. "The old theater is gone!"
"Wow," said Jack.
"Maybe people can plant that community garden now."
Terrell looked at the empty lot suspiciously.
"I wonder if Rocket Girl had something to do with this."
Roxy smiled. "Who knows?
But there's the bakery!
Let's buy some cookies!"
