Story:
-
...After Lakota saw the photo of Sake Selampotato in the Personals section of the newspaper, she went to Kaere, who oversaw most of the genetic tinkering performed on the Schattarneki dragons.
"I need something that will match this," Lakota said, showing the picture to Kaere.
"Schattarneki are usually seven to eight feet tall," Kaere said doubtfully. "This little... um... potato dragon... is only one foot tall."
"You can figure something out," Lakota said, patting Kaere on the shoulder.
"Oy," said Kaere.
-
Several days later, Kaere found Lakota in the great hallway, vigorously scrubbing at a spot that her airbrained cat, Kaz, had clearly left on one of the expensive throw rugs. "It's done," Kaere said.
"What's done?" Lakota said, scrubbing at the carpet so hard that bristles were flying off of the scrub-brush.
"The Schattarnek," Kaere said. "You know, the one you wanted? The tiny one?"
"Oh, right," Lakota said, jumping up. "Show it to me, please?"
-
Sitting on a small table in Kaere's lab was the tiniest, roundest Schattarnek dragon that Lakota had ever seen. It was barely a foot tall, and looked like a small, furry basketball. With wings.
"Her name is Tek-lia," Kaere explained, patting the tiny dragon. "She volunteered to be subjected to my... um... experimental procedure."
"Which involved what?" Lakota asked, raising a furry eyebrow.
"Well," Kaere said.
Lakota waited.
"Well," Kaere repeated. "First I gave her a bath and got her really soaked to the skin. Then I popped her into the clothes dryer on the 'high' setting until she had shrunk enough."
"Oy," said Lakota.
