    Zac, the ant, was in a state of panic. An evil insect was threatening to take over the world and the ants were the only ones who could stop it. But they needed more help.

    Zac decided to shrink Lucas Nickle, the boy who had once been their enemy but had become their friend, and his family to help. Lucas was not thrilled about being small again, but knew he had to help.

    Zac explained the situation to Lucas's family. Tiffany, Lucas's older sister, was skeptical but agreed to be shrunk to help save the world.

    Lucas's parents, Doreen and Fred, were anxious but agreed to be shrunk as well. They knew they had to support their children and save the world from the evil insect.

    Lastly, Zac visited Mommo, Lucas's grandma. Despite her age, she was full of energy and agreed to join the mission without a moment's hesitation.

    With the family now shrunk, they ventured into the ant colony, ready to face the challenge. The world seemed much bigger and scarier, but they were determined.

    They soon encountered the evil insect. It was bigger and more terrifying than they could have imagined, but they refused to back down.

    With the evil insect defeated, Zac used his potion to return Lucas and his family to their normal size. They were relieved and proud of their accomplishment.
