Home Schooled

Jenna couldn't bear it.

How had Ana so easily outmanoeuvred her? She was Jenna's younger colleague and project partner after all!

The pair had been working on the world's first miniaturization device - a shrink ray, as most would call it. It was remarkable, and the pair were surely bound to make millions from their efforts. Jenna had always been impressed, and even threatened, by Ana's mind. The two were geniuses to be sure, but Ana was quick in ways that surprised even the older woman.

That insecurity was the seed that paved the way for Jenna's downfall. It manifested first in tireless jokes about Ana being smart in spite of her being home schooled - the ribbing was relentless. Ana seemed mostly unphased, but Jenna could tell it needled the younger woman. In retaliation, jokes about Jenna's age were the foremost weapon in Ana's arsenal. That paired with teasing that the older of the two should have paid more attention in school, whenever Ana's mind was swifter than Jenna's.

The pair worked together well but quietly seethed.

That seething blossomed into resentment, even loathing - which spurred Jenna to far more drastic action. Why share the fortunes that awaited her with her partner at all, when she could have it all for herself?

All she needed to do was turn their device onto Ana and Jenna's 'problem' would dwindle away. So, one night she set the ray to activate upon Ana's entry into the lab the next morning. However, the younger of the pair had become suspicious, and had set her own plans in place as a precaution.

Her suspicious were well founded. Jenna entered the lab with a jar in hand, expecting to ensnare a shrunken woman, but instead found the device seemingly inert. Jenna tried to hide her shock and confusion, while Ana simply brought up the device's input log... revealing the settings Jenna had configured - and that the younger of the pair had been able to disarm the would-be trap.

Before the older woman could react, Ana teased her. Jenna remembered it so clearly. "Clearly you need more than a refresher in science class - you need to learn some manners too."

Then came the flash. The shock of shrinking took hold and Jenna collapsed, feinting from the process. When she awoke, she was in Ana's home, just shy of the woman's thigh and wearing... a more than ridiculous outfit.

Ana claimed she was merciful, more merciful than the now shrunken woman, who had conspired to keep the Ana in a jar, to who knows what end. Ana instead decided to prove to Jenna that home schooling could indeed have good results...

What was more, the shrink ray's expected side effects were as predicted. Significantly reduced strength and endurance. Even at Jenna's size, she couldn't overpower or resist Ana at all - even turning a door handle took an effort that was beyond her capability, which in turn slowly made her dependent on the towering woman.

Soon, the humiliation began in earnest. It had been six weeks of this now - and Jenna's spirit was being slowly chipped away. Ana had set up her 'classroom' and it began with the same 'affirmation' each morning.

Six weeks of Ana's lessons, six weeks of this outfit, and with Jenna's physical state and ability, no end was in sight. Jenna's dreams of fortune had landed her in this nightmare. Every attempt Jenna made to improve or escape her situation was thwarted in some way, and for each failed attempt, Jenna had to recite the morning affirmation.

She was Ana's silly little schoolgirl. Forever.
