Befriending Clarabelle and Kanga/Befriending the Eds

*(Once Wizardmon had left, the group studied the two pieces of both sides of the mushroom, which suddenly morphed into Upelkuchen)*

"Hmmm...One side of the mushroom will make me grow..." she repeated the essential piece of Mushu's advice. "But which is which?"

She looked at the two pieces of the mushroom left and right, still a little confused by them. They may be identical pieces of the mushroom, but the two have the contrasting effects that may help with her height. After taking a moment to make up her mind, Olivia lifted up the piece of the mushroom that was in her right hand.

"Hmmm...After all that's happened. I-I wonder if I..." she thought aloud, before lifting the piece to her mouth, "I don’t care."

With that said, Olivia took a bite of the mushroom slice that was in her right hand.

"I'm tired of being three inches high -yi -yi -yi -yi -yi!" she said to herself again.

Just then, Olivia felt herself stretching higher and higher at an alarming rate, as she knew that she had grown taller—much taller than her normal height!

Her head popped out from the top of a green tree, and a nest holding a female penguin that was on top of her scalp. She looked around and saw that her legs and feet were way down toward the ground and beneath the tree.

The female penguin was a female black and white feathered Adelie Penguin with a skirt-like pouch. She is beautiful with purple eyeshadow, a light orange beak with a red tip, green eyes, and light orange webbed feet, wearing a pink rosebud on top of her head with a pink pearl attached to a black string underneath, and a purple choker with a pink stone on it. Her name was Marina.

Anyway, Marina shook her head rapidly and looked down as well. She gasped in horror to see Olivia's colossal body beneath her and cried out, "A serpent!"

Marina flew out of her nest in a panic and swarmed around Olivia, calling out for help and shouting, "Aaaaahhh! Help! Serpent! Serpent!"

"Oh, but please! Please!" Olivia exclaimed apprehensively to the penguin.

"Off with you! Shoo! Shoo!" Marina shouted to Olivia, still assuming that the girl was a monstrous serpent as she flew around her again. "Go away! Serpent! Serpeeeent!"

"But I’m not a serpent!"

Marina stopped soaring and turned to Olivia with a scowl on her face. "Indeed?" she asked her, before propping on Olivia's nose. "Then just what are you?"

"I’m just a little girl." Olivia answered, as she saw the penguin flying away from her gigantic form.

"Little?" Marina repeated, placing her flippers on her sides. "Ha! Little?" The penguin then burst out into laughter, much to Olivia's worries.

"Well, I am," the Scottish-British girl mouse said to her. "I mean, I was."

"And I suppose you don’t eat eggs, either?"

“Yes, I do, but...”

That frightened Marina even more, as the penguin had been very protective of her eggs the whole time she encountered Olivia and her enormous height. "I knew it!"

"But-but-but..."

"I knew it!" she boasted in front of Olivia, before flying around her at least three more times. "Serpent! Serpeeeeeeeeeent!!"

"Oh, for goodness' sake!" Olivia exclaimed to the female penguin. She then glanced to the other mushroom piece in her left hand and repeated the second piece of Mushu's advice, "And the other side of the mushroom will..."

"The very idea!" Marina complained in a frustrated voice, carefully gathering her five eggs in her nest. "Spend all my time laying eggs for serpents like her!"

Just as Olivia took the bite of the second mushroom slice, she felt herself shrinking at an alarming rate, causing Marina to fly out of her nest and lose her eggs in the process. The nest landed between two small branches as Olivia continued to shrink down the tree, and Marina caught all five of her eggs with her flippers whereas Olivia landed in the grassy terrain. The girl had now reverted to the height of three inches she was before.

"Goodness," Olivia said, still holding the two mushroom pieces in her tiny hands as she sat up on the ground. "I wonder if I’ll ever get the knack of it."

She then lifted her left arm up as she glanced at the mushroom piece in her right hand, which was the one that caused her to become the giant that scared Marina. Then Olivia took a lick of it, and that caused her to grow again—but this time, back to her regular height.

"There, that’s much better." Olivia said, satisfied with the problem finally solved in spite of the ups and downs she had went through. As she started walking, she looked at the mushroom pieces in her hands one last time, before placing them in her two dress pockets.

"Hmmm...I better save these." she said to herself.
