Marks POV
I feel someone put their hand on me, not a tiny hand but a regular sized one. My eyelids flutter open and I see André standing over me. 'André, how did you get big?' I ask in confusion. André shakes his head and says 'I didn't get bigger, you got smaller' His words cut through me like a knife, and I look to the skies. I was searching for Seto because he will probably want revenge after what I did to him . I feel the floor shake, so I grab André's arm and say 'Run!'
⏰TIME SKIP⏰
The footsteps are getting closer and I start running at my top speed. André got caught, but I'm still running. I look behind me and see a hand coming to grab me, so I roll and dodge it. I see a black sneaker slam in front of me and now I know I have nowhere to run. Seto's hand reaches down and plucks me from the ground in his tree trunk sized fingers. I am lifted up to his face, and I immediately turn my head. When I do look at him, Seto's large eyes are full of anger and they are narrowed slightly. I feel scared because at this size, I can do nothing to stop an angry Mage who could crush me with a finger. He stared at me with scrutinising red eyes. 'Well' he said loudly, voice rumbling through me. I thought of struggling out of his grip, and as if he could read my mind, Seto's fingers wrapped around my tiny figure, pinning my arms to my sides. He chuckled and said 'You're not going anywhere until you explain yourself' moving his face inches away from mine. I gulped and started to shake under his harsh gaze, but I found my courage and started talking..

Andrés POV
I looked around the corner, checking for any danger. Jewel had become as crazy as Seto, and had become more cat like every minute. I froze as I heard her voice 'André, come out come out wherever you are' I couldn't pinpoint the exact location of her voice, but it scared me knowing that she was somewhere. I skittered across the floor, straining my ears for the slightest noise. It was like my worst nightmare, being trapped in a house with two giants, one magical and the other crazy. I ducked behind a roll of newspaper on the floor and sat down to catch my breath. I was so preoccupied I didn't even notice her emerald eyes until they were right in front of me. I slowly backed away, my hands held up as she crawled towards me on all fours. 'N-n-nice kitty' I stammered, inching backward 'Nice, gigantic kitty-person' Her ears twitched at this remark and her face darkened. 'What did you say about me?' she asked menacingly, standing up to her full height. I turned around to run away, but her reflexes were too sharp. Jewel had morphed back into cat mode and had pounced, pinning me to the cold, hard ground. I tried my last resort, which was yelling and screaming for help. I yelled for Mark and Seto until my voice was almost gone, and they hadn't come. I closed my eyes and waited for the feeling of lifelessness, but instead I heard shouting, what sounded like someone punching someone else, the pressure lifting off my chest, and Mark calling my name. I opened my eyes and saw him, and we wrapped each other in bear hugs. I looked at Mark and he looked the same, no cuts or bruises or any signs of injury. 'What happened bro?' I queried, and he launched into the whole story.

Seto's POV
I hugged Jewels body to mine, using some of my energy to bring her back. I think the fact that she was big after a long time of being small, had re awakened her Neko instincts that were dormant at the time. She woke up and stared directly into my eyes she wanted to say something, but I hushed her and let the images from my mind flow into hers. When she got to the part when I punched her to snap her out of her daze, I stole a quick look at the bruise blossoming on her face. I helped her up, and together we walked over to the two mini boys. Mark and André were chatting, but stopped when I came closer with Jewel. Mark looked at me happily, and they both looked at her with uncertainty. I knelt down to them and said softly 'It's alright, she's back to normal' they looked pleased, so I lay my hand palm up in front of them. The movement made André flinch, but hesitantly they both climbed on. I felt their tiny footsteps as they walked to the middle of my hand and sat. I slowly got up and turned around so I was facing Jewel. She was crying, her ears drooped and her tail wrapped around her legs. André and Mark walked to the edge of my hand to go and comfort her, but I held them back with my index finger. They looked at me curiously and I said 'Let's give her some time to herself, she's been through a lot' They looked at each other sadly, so I decided to lighten the mood. 'You wanna play Hide n' Seek?' I asked eagerly. They nodded and jumped on my shoulders so I could walk freely. Mark lent against my neck and so did André. It felt nice to be able to care for the two lives on my shoulders, it gave me a sense of purpose. By the time I got to the lounge, the two humans were asleep. I tilted my shoulders and they fell into my open palm, tumbling into a ball. I got some cushions and propped myself against them. I placed Mark on my chest and André in my shirt pocket, they looked so peaceful so I decided to take a nap as well. I ruffled Marks hair with my pinky and he nuzzled my finger. I slowly fell asleep, my finger still in the clutches of a sleeping human.

Random 3rd Person POV
Jewel grabbed the essentials and prepared to leave. She couldn't be trusted around the humans, and she didn't want to hurt anyone, especially if Seto reverts to his original size. She walked to the door, keeping my ears low and tail still. She accidentally stepped on a creaky floorboard, but no one was awake, or so she thought. Mark responded to the sound, waking up and retreating from the warmth emanating from Seto. He ran up to his arm, climbed up and peeked over the top of the couch. He could faintly make out the outline of a body and he whispered 'Jewel?', but his voice was too quiet for her to hear. Mark left to wake Seto as she slipped out of the apartment. Mark crawled to the opening of the pocket and woke up André. 'Dude, what the heck' he whispered tiredly. Mark pulled him out of the pocket and said 'We have to wake Seto'
