It was a hot summer afternoon as Kyle and his half-brother Percy sat back, trying to figure out how to pass the time. Both of their parents worked, and the nine- and fifteen-year-olds were between summer schools and camps and what else not at the moment.

"Well... it's certainly warm enough, we could open the backyard pool if you want to go swimming," the older lion suggested.

Kyle thought about it for a moment. "That sounds like it could be fun... Can we have a snack first?" the younger jaguar asked.

Percy chuckled, shaking his head a bit. "You always have food on the mind, don'tcha spotty?"

"Yup!" the nine-year-old piped up brightly, hopping up from his chair as he did so. "Let's get some ice cream and eat it out on the porch by the pool so we can hop right on in!"

"Once it's open, you mean," the lion corrected, though he got up and headed for the kitchen anyway, the little jaguar chirping and following along behind happily.

Soon enough, the two brothers were sitting shirtless on the back patio table with two giant bowls of ice cream. Percy finished his quickly enough and went to start prepping the pool while Kyle dawdled, half-playing with his ice cream and chattering all the while, causing his brother to chuckle.

The lion yelped, though, when he stepped on something unfamiliar. It was a spike of some sort, looked animal in original, which he quickly removed from his pawpad and tossed in the trash. "Geez, no clue what that was..." he muttered as he sat back down with Kyle.

"You okay?" the kid jaguar asked, spoon suspended in midair as he yawned.

"Yeah... yeah," the older lion said, resting his elbows on the table, flexing his toes. "I should be fine, just stepped on something."

"Oh, okay!" Kyle chirped, finally taking another spoonful of ice cream before yawning again.

Before either of them knew it, both brothers were asleep, Kyle leaned back in his chair and Percy slumped with his head on the table.

"Heehee c'mon Percy, wake up!"

The lion grunted as he felt the little tyke tackle him repeatedly. He stretched and tried to roll over, realizing something felt weird. "Hey, wait a sec... What'd you do with my pants, Kyle?" he muttered.

"I didn't do anything, they're sitting on the ground where you shrunk out of them!"

"Where I... what?" The lion opened his eyes then and quickly realized that he was, indeed, much smaller than he was supposed to be, lying (well, now standing) on the patio table where his head had been as he had fallen asleep earlier.

"You're tiny!" the little jaguar laughed. "With a tiny voice! Anyway, I'm gonna get in the pool. Hope you grow back soon!" And with that, the kid ran and cannonballed into the in-ground pool.

The older brother tried to call Kyle back and get help to figure out what was going on, but his voice didn't carry far enough, especially with the little tyke's splashing about. The lion sighed and sat down nude on the tabletop, thinking of what to do.

Well, until he could get Kyle's help, there really wasn't much to do. He looked over and saw the kid' ice cream bowl and went over to investigate, just to do something. Sure enough, Kyle had only eaten about half of his ice cream, the rest now nothing but cool soup. Watery... cool...

In a spur of the moment decision, he thought the bowl of melted ice cream might be a passable substitute for the swimming pool, since he certainly couldn't join his brother in the real one. After a bit of an effort, he hoisted himself over the edge of the bowl and splashed into the melted cream.

He sputtered almost instantly and somewhat regretted his decision - it certainly wasn't water. But after a moment or two he was able to deal with the not-quite-water consistency (and flavor) and started swimming around while he listened to his little brother play around in the real pool.

It was weird, but he passed a fair amount of time swimming in the ice cream bowl. He eventually settled for floating on the watery cream on his back while he listened to his brother's splashes, zoning out a little bit.

Thus he didn't notice immediately when the splashing stopped and Kyle approached the table, mumbling something about finishing his ice cream. Percy went under for a moment as he felt the melted cream slosh around quite a bit as the bowl was picked up. He swam back up to the surface as the bowl tilted, the lion able to see again just as the little jaguar's lips met the side of the bowl and started sucking down.

"Wha- No, Kyle, wait!" the older brother yelped, but between being so small and having melted ice cream garbling in his mouth, the cry didn't reach the young jag's ears as the spotted kitty sucked his brother right into his mouth and down his throat.

Percy sputtered in the darkness as he was half-squeezed, half-slipped downward until he splashed into a new pool. Once it was clear the lion wasn't falling anymore, he started trying to swim around in the thoroughly-melted ice cream slurry to beat on the stomach walls, but they were sloshing around the liquid inside enough he could never get his bearings and make a good impact - though, small as he was, he wouldn't have been able to get his little brother's attention anyway.

Kyle finished drinking down the remains of his ice cream, smacking his lips playfully and patting his belly happily. "Alright Percy, I'm done swimming and eating, time to dry off! ...Percy?" He looked around then, noticing his brother wasn't around. He checked under the table, including where the lion's shorts were still sitting, but just shrugged and assumed Percy had wandered off to try and get big again, so he went inside to shower.
