As soon as the honey hit Josh’s bloodstream, he took off running for his room. He flung the door open and lunged for a box next to his bed. He flung the contents across the room, digging though the stuff. He grabbed the syringe and steadied his arm, injecting it. He ground his teeth, waiting for it to take effect. The effect was quick and powerful and he leapt to his feet, taking off running back outside. He skidded to a stop, just as he saw the plant lift Lydia and drop it into its large bell-shaped mouth, closing tight around her. “Lydia!” He yelled. 

He stood unsure if he should shrink the plant or not, but he shrunk some of the limbs, removing the extra parts of the plant. He startled when suddenly the bell of the plant sliced open, and Lydia climbed out, cussing like a sailor. “You son of a BITCH,” she screamed at the plant. “I WILL TURN YOU INTO A FUCKING SALAD!” she screamed, a gooey liquid stuck to her skin. She swung her pool ladder at the plant, ripping a hole in the side of it. Josh rapidly shrunk it down, removing it from Lydia’s sight.

She whirled to face Josh, angrily. “This is your FAULT, where the hell did you go?” 

“I was having a hypoglycemic attack!” Josh defended. “I was about to pass out! I had to get my medicine to shrink that thing because I didn’t have enough glucose!” 

“You’re lucky you came back because I would have KILLED you when I got out of there!” Lydia threw the pool ladder. She stormed off, heading inside, leaving Josh to stare after her, embarrassed.
