“Here comes the stuffing!” Lily said in a sing-song voice. She took a scoop from the bowl before passing it leftwards. It was only one of many bowls and plates heaped high with delicious food that were making their way clockwise around the large table where the family gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving together.

“I’m thankful you’ve kept mom’s recipe alive!” Aunt Violet chimed in, taking a heaping scoop for herself. She hummed happily as she passed it left and reached for the next bowl headed her way. The stuffing made its way past two more people before reaching the tall, dark haired woman at the end of the table. She took a scoop for herself but did not immediately pass the bowl on. Instead, she cast her eyes down onto the table and her concentration settled onto an unusual sight: Two, small younger women…each no taller than six inches… who sat on opposite sides of a single, disposable plate.

“Stuffing?” she said to her cousins.

“Yea sure,” mumbled the one sitting on the left. She wore a dark blue fabric dress with a checkerboard pattern and a small, imprinted apron. Dana took a tiny dollop of the stuffing and placed it on Erica’s side of the plate.

“Lydia?” she said, looking at the other one. The other girl crossed her arms over her obnoxiously shiny pink princess dress.

“You know I don’t like stuffing, Dana…come on.” 

Dana pursed her lips for a moment before passing the stuffing onward. She already hadn’t been looking forward to her cousins coming for Thanksgiving this year, especially after the incident that had occurred at their house on July 4th. When they arrived at a fraction of their size, a part of her was sure that at least their attitudes would be changed as they now had to rely on help from the giants around them. Erica had been a bit less bratty than usual…but it seemed like the reduction in size had only irritated Lydia into a worse state.

“It must be so hard having to take care of two…um…little people? Is that what we’re calling them these days?” said a large man near the other end.

“Shrinkees,” Violet said in a terse tone. “And I’ll thank you not to talk about it around the girls. They’re sensitive enough about their current…predicament. And besides, it’s only temporary. The Doctor says they should grow back to normal within a week or so.”

“Isn’t there a chance of permanency?” said a young boy in between bites of mashed potatoes. His mom shushed him up as Dana watched Aunt Violet purse her lips and Lydia’s face turn almost as pink as her dress.

“Roll?” Dana asked Lydia, holding out a chunk of her own. The tiny girl snatched it away and bit into it without saying thank you. Dana sighed as she dug into the food on her own plate.

“It’s just a few more hours,” she reminded herself. The dinner went on as normal and fortunately not too many fights occurred. When most people had finished their plates, Dana’s mom stood to start collecting them from her guests.

“Let me help you,” Violet said to her sister, lending a hand with the task. Dana handed hers over before looking at her two cousins.

“I’m going to the bathroom…be back soon,” she said.

“Ugh…T.M.I.” Lydia responded as she held her nose. Dana pursed her lips a moment before standing up and proceeding up the stairs to the restroom. Once finished, she headed back down when she heard the voices of her mom and aunt coming from the kitchen.

“You’re a lifesaver, Lily,” she heard Aunt Violet say. “I really wish I didn’t have to show up at work tomorrow at four thirty A.M, but there’s no way out of it.”

“Not a problem,” Dana heard her mom respond. “The girls are always welcome to sleep over. And besides…” Lily’s voice grew softer.

“It’s not like they’ll take up much room.”

Dana’s heart thumped. They weren’t talking about what she thought they were talking about…were they? Dana strode into the room where both of the older women stood up with a start.

“Oh!” her mom said with a start. “Dana! We were just talking about you.”

“Oh?” Dana said, glancing between her aunt and her mom. “What about?”

Aunt Violet pursed her lips for a moment and drew in a breath to start, but her sister beat her to it.

“Aunt Violet needs to work really early tomorrow morning…so she’s asked if Erica and Lydia can sleep over tonight. I told her that would be fine.”

Dana felt her heart drop. She had already had just about enough of her cousins for an evening…but for a whole night? 

“I figured that since you were doing such a good job looking after them,” Lily continued, “That you wouldn’t mind watching over them tonight too. It’ll be just like old times.”

“Yea…back then we played with doll houses…now they could live in one,” Lily thought to herself. She crossed her arms.

“Did they bring anything to sleep with or do I need to take care of that too?”

“Oh, ah…” her aunt said, realizing how unprepared her girls were. “No…but they don’t really need much more than the dresses they have on. Maybe just a sink bath if they ask…” she turned to look at her sister.

“And breakfast in the morning?” 

“Of course,” Lily said. 

“Yea, I’ll give them each a cheerio,” Dana said. Lily shot her a look but Dana just smirked.

“Not a problem, Aunt Violet…you know, I still have my old dollhouse. They can sleep in there.”

Aunt Violet looked like she was going to say something when Dana continued: “It’s better than stuffing tissues into a shoebox, right?”

Aunt Violet paused, seeming to contemplate the situation before shrugging.

“No…you’re right. Heck, they’re living on doll furniture at home, so why not here as well?”

“Great!” Lily said with a smile. “Then it’s settled. Dana will take care of her cousins just like they did on Fourth of July. It’ll be fun.”

Dana clenched her teeth a little but managed to nod and to smile.

“Yup…fun.”

—----------------------------------------

Hours later, after the guests had gone, Dana carried her little cousins upstairs toward the bathroom. At first, they had complained about being carried by her like a couple of dolls.

“That’s fine,” Dana had said to the pair. “Then you can go yourself. Have fun crossing the multiple football fields of floor and then climbing the mountain of steps.” Upon hearing that, Erica quickly raised her hands for Dana to lift her up and, moments later, Lydia begrudgingly did the same. Dana ran a warm sink bath for the sisters and watched as Erica gently slid herself in.

“Go on Lydia, the water’s fine,” Dana said, dipping her finger into the sink.

“I’m not going in naked with my twin,” Lydia said with a huge pout. She turned toward the second sink. 

“Run me a separate bath.”

Dana thought for a moment about how incredibly easy it would be to extend her finger and gently shove her tiny cousin into the already full sink. Or…and she couldn’t help but grin just a little…how satisfying it would feel to grab the tiny woman in hand and run her underneath the cold tap. For a moment, she remembered how incredibly cold the water in the pool was at her aunt’s house back on the Fourth of July and how much of a shock and jolt it was to her when she was thrown in. So in the end, sighing deeply, she turned on the tap and ran a warm bath for her cousin. Lydia made a satisfied sneer before hopping in. Dana responded by sticking out her tongue while her cousin’s back was turned. 

She gave them ten minutes in the water before hitting the drains, much to the tiny women’s disappointment. She held out a single washcloth and watched as Erica climbed out, stepping across the tile with her wet feet before rolling herself up into it. Lydia had waited a bit too long and found herself trapped in the now empty sink.

“Help!” she squeaked up at Dana. Dana smirked as she reached down and lifted her cousin up, placing the wet and shivering little woman on the tile.

“Where’s my towel?” Lydia said with a hint of irritation. When Dana pointed at the washcloth, Lydia shook her head.

“Nuh uh, no way,” the tiny woman squeaked, pointing her finger at the Giantess. “You give me my own towel right now.”

Dana frowned.

“No.”

Lydia looked taken aback.

“What do you mean, ‘no?’”

Dana crossed her arms. “No…that’s all you get. So you have two choices…share the towel with Erica, or stay wet and cold until it’s time for bed. I’m not giving you your own.”

Lydia’s face turned beet red with anger but at the same time it began to dawn on her that her power and choice in the matter may not be as large as she had previously assumed. She stomped over to Erica, grumbling loudly as she pulled a section of the washcloth toward her, also wrapping herself up in the fabric as she dried herself off. Dana smirked as she watched her tiny cousins dress themselves back into their clothes before picking up the tiny squirming girls and taking them to her bedroom. 

“Everything okay, Dana?” her mom called from her own bed as she passed by. Dana leaned back and smiled.

“Everything is alright, mom. You rest…you did awesome today.”

“We did awesome,” her mom said with a smile. “Have a good night.”

“Night, mom,” Dana said before turning and going into her room. She closed the door behind her before crossing the room to the corner where a large, wooden dollhouse sat. It was painted with green siding and bright, white frames that had only faded slightly over the years. She smiled as she set her tiny cousins down on the middle floor.

“Wow, you’re still got this?” Erica said, staring around in amazement. She had remembered playing with this years ago during visits over to Dana’s house. Of course, she had never imagined herself being small enough to one day step inside!

“Yea…wow…what a baby,” Lydia said. Dana bit her lip and glared at the tiny girl but Lydia just smiled back triumphantly, proud that she had gotten under her skin.

“Hmm…you know….” Dana said, looking down at her small cousins. “I’ll bet you’ve been in those old doll things all day. Wouldn’t you like to change into something different before bed?” 

Lydia turned to snap back her answer but could only screech as Dana’s hands were suddenly around her. She squeaked pathetically as Dana gripped the bottom of her dress and lifted it up and away, exposing the tiny girl to the cool room air. Lydia immediately covered herself up, glaring angrily at her cousin. 

“Just what do you think you’re doing?!” 

Dana felt her anger growing into glee as slowly she began to realize that all the power rested with her. She stared down at Lydia and smiled.

“You know what…maybe you don’t need clothes. Let’s make that a rule: naughty girls don’t get clothes.”

Lydia opened her mouth to say something but squeaked in shock instead as Dana grabbed her again and lowered her down onto the ground. Dana let both Lydia and Erica go onto the floor and the tiny women felt their little feet dipping between the carpet fibers.

“N-now Dana,” Lydia said, shaking with anger and a growing sense of fear. “If you don’t give me my clothes back right now, I’m telling mom and Aunt Lily.” 

Dana smiled.

“I have a better idea,” she said. The two tiny girls watched in terror as their massive cousin reached down and slowly pulled off each one of her huge, orange socks, exposing her gigantic feet and toes. The Giantess leaned back, extending her feet out until the massive soles sat directly before each one of the shrunken women.

“Remember this, Lydia?” Dana said, staring down at the little woman who was barely half the height of her foot. “Remember what you did to me when I was your size?”

Lydia seemed to swallow hard as she stared up at her cousin’s huge, soft sole. A faint odor or sweat and lotion drifted off her toes and down into the small woman’s nostrils, but Lydia was too scared to recoil.

“No,” she said, taking a small step back, “No Dana…I…let’s….”

“It was this.”

As Dana’s coarse words left her mouth, her feet pivoted suddenly and slammed shut around Lydia. The tiny woman found herself pinched between her cousin’s two massive soles, feeling the heat from her skin as she was swallowed up in her flesh. Slowly, Dana rolled her feet together.

“Remember?” she said again. She could feel the tiny woman rolling between her feet…from heel to toes as she rubbed her soles together. The tiny woman cried out, squeaking pathetically as Dana exacted her revenge, remembering the heat and the sweat and the taste of Lydia’s feet from oh so many weeks ago. After about a minute of this harsh treatment, she released her feet, allowing the tiny woman to slide onto the floor and rest. Lydia’s chest heaved as she took in the clean air, the tiny woman trembling as she recovered from the awful ordeal she had just experienced.

“Doesn’t feel good, does it?” Dana said sharply. “You’re just lucky I take such good care of my feet…I’ll bet they’re nowhere near as smelly as yours were that day.” Dana turned her gaze to her other cousin, still dressed in her tiny outfit.

“And what to do about you,” she said in a low voice. That’s when something happened that she wouldn’t have expected in a hundred years: letting out a tiny squeak, Erica ran forward, throwing herself against her cousin’s foot as hard as she could.

“Oh!” Dana said, taken aback with surprise as she watched her younger cousin press her tiny body against her sole. Erica was pushing her arms and hands against her foot as hard as she could, doing as best as she could to massage the massive arch.

“Is…is it good, Dana?” Erica asked. 

“I…uh…oh!” Dana said, still shocked at Erica’s reaction. She was even more shocked when she suddenly felt wetness on her sole and saw her tiny cousin pressing her lips against her skin.

“I…wow Erica…do you….” she started to ask. Erica paused for a moment and the two cousins exchanged an awkward silence for a moment. Dana knew she had never seen Erica’s cheeks as red as this before and knew better than to ask the question that was on her mind.

“Just…just don’t roll me like that?” Erica finally said with a timid squeak. Dana just nodded and the little woman went back to massaging and kissing and licking her cousin’s foot, running her tiny tongue up and down the folds of her sole. A few minutes later, Dana rotated her foot and was tickled as Erica ducked her little head in between, licking and cleaning between each digit.

“I’m not doing that,” Lydia said, having recovered. “You can have your weird foot thing…but that’s not for me.”

Dana rolled her eyes and brought her foot down on top of Lydia who squeaked as Dana’s huge toes pressed her down into the carpet. 

“You’d better start licking if you even want a chance of sleeping tonight,” Dana said with anger. Lydia struggled and whined and squeaked and screamed…but it was all to no avail as she couldn’t budge her cousin’s massive foot that was holding her down. Finally, with tears in her eyes, the tiny woman pursed her lips and placed a kiss on Dana’s huge toe.

“Each one,” Dana said. Lydia nodded, sniffling as she delivered the same treatment to each toe on Dana’s left foot. Dana laughed.

“Nowhere near as good as Erica’s full foot cleaning…but I’ll accept it.” Erica blushed profusely as Dana pulled her feet away and leaned forward. Lydia proceeded to spit several times before wiping off her tongue with her hand.

“Well…can we sleep now?” Lydia said in a pleading voice. Dana smiled as she reached forward and grasped the tiny woman. Lydia sighed as she was lifted into the air until she realized she wasn’t traveling toward the dollhouse. Her eyes opened wide as she saw Dana lowering her down toward one of her massive socks.

“No!” Lydia squealed, thrashing in the Giantess’s hand. “No no no no…AHH!”

She squeaked loudly as she slid down into the foot section of Dana’s sock and Dana couldn’t help but laugh as she watched the small shape fight from inside to break free. Slowly, Dana inserted her foot, hearing the squeaks and screams more clearly until she pressed her foot up against Lydia’s tiny body, trapping the small woman against her sole.

“There…I think a night in my sock is ample punishment,” she said. She turned her head toward Erica. “Don’t you?”

Her other cousin nodded her head in agreement. 

“But,” she said in her tiny voice, “What about me?”

Dana smiled as she scooped up the tiny woman once more into her hand. She crawled into bed, being careful not to step on her stockinged foot as she lay down. Gently, she lay Erica down onto the mattress near her ankles.

“I’m beat…but if you want to have a bit more fun, I give you permission. Just…move a safe distance before sleeping, alright?”

Erica was shaking with excitement as she scampered down and again began to worship her cousin’s exposed sole. Dana giggled as she reached over and turned off the light in the room. Surprisingly, Erica’s licks and caresses served to be more soothing than distracting and Dana found herself slipping away.

“I hope that wasn’t too much,” were the last words she said before falling asleep, carried off to dreamland by delicious dinner and soothing caresses.
