You and the nine men talked. They told you how a wizard turned them into pocket sized men and packing them away as a punishment. How they got to be mercenaries. The battles they fought. And how their jobs worked. You told them your background too. Your job and such.

You guys talked and talked and didn't even bother to check the time.

It was night time. You and your new little friends were tired. You had work the next day. But one problem.

What's gonna happen to them now?

What's gonna happen when you leave for work?

How are they going to live? They couldn't stay in the tank like animals.

You look at the clock. It wasn't that late. It was 7. So you probably had time to run to the store.

"I need to run to the store to get some things for you guys since you're all staying with me."You say. They nod.

You get your shoes on and your jacket. You get your purse and open the door. The rain had stopped but it still drizzled you get your umbrella and open it,"Don't worry! Gonna be quick. I'm going to be right back!"You say as you walked out of your home and closed and locked your front door.

You walked to (Favorite Store) and once there, you grabbed a cart and went straight towards the toy section. You walked towards the girls section to the dolls.

You needed a doll house for the guys to stay in, for now, you were going to make them a house until you get the supplies. But for now, they were staying in a doll house. You got miniature sized cups, mugs, plates, spoons, forks, bowls, etc. they were plastic. Miniature tables, chairs, beds (with cushions on them), couches (with cushions on them), etc.

You put those in the cart and go to the boys toy section. You got those action play sets (you know the ones with the settings. Almost like a doll house but more boyish and for their action figures to fight and play in. Yeah...).

You went to pay for them. The cashier gives you a confused look. You couldn't just say that you were doing this because your have pocket sized men.

You smile,"These are for my niece and nephew. It's their birthday tomorrow."You say. The cashier nods in understandment.

You pay for all that. And had to carry it back to your home since you didn't have a car. You get back home and set your purse down. The men say in the tank as they waited but hearing you arrive they all brought there attention to you.

"Okay soooo."You say taking all the items out of your bags.

"A house. Beds. Utensils. Cups, mugs. Tables chairs. And so on."You say. You get the doll house ready and put it in the living room. Set up everything.

You pick up the glass tank carefully and gently pour the men onto the living room floor at the house.

"I hope this is okay... I didn't really think all this out but it's what I thought you guys needed for now."You say sitting onto the floor with your legs in a pretzel.

"Really? A freakin' doll h-"Scout was about to say something rude until Medic covered his mouth,"It iz perfekt, fräu. No need to be az generous az you are."Medic says. You smile.

"Alright. I'm gonna go take a shower. You guys take a look at your house and see what you guys think. Be right back."You say walking to your room to grab some clothes and going to the bathroom to shower.

The men looked at each other and went inside the doll house. Everything was in place. Sniper picked up a mug. Just his size. Scout sat down on the couch, just his size. All the guys continued to look around their new surroundings.

{5 Minutes Later}

You come back out and see the little men all talking and getting used to their new homes. You make a small smile and say on the floor as you watched them

"So did this Merasmus guy ever tell you guys how long this will last?"

"Non. 'e never said anyzing. Saying we are punished for our intolerable actions to him."Spy says.

"Ohhhh. I see."You say nodding. You look at the time,"I guess we should get some sleep now."

They all nod an get into their beds.

"Goodnight, gentlemen."

"Goodnight."They all say. You smile and turn off the lights.

You go to your room and crawl into your bed. And you fell asleep.
