**Chapter 1: The Discovery**

Ariana Grande stormed into her spacious dressing room, exhausted from a long day of rehearsals and interviews. She had just finished a grueling soundcheck for her upcoming world tour and was looking forward to unwinding in her luxurious hotel suite. As she entered the room, she noticed a faint smell wafting from her dresser drawer. At first, she thought it might be her perfume or makeup, but as she got closer, she realized it was something else entirely. Her eyes narrowed as she approached the drawer, and she slowly opened it. That's when she saw them - her black concert tights, balled up and discarded carelessly on top of her folded clothes. They were infamous for their smell, notorious among her crew and bandmates for being the stinkiest, most pungent tights in the world. Only a select few had ever dared to get close enough to smell them, and they were usually rewarded with a stern warning or a playful gag. But today, it seemed someone had taken it upon themselves to investigate her infamous tights without permission. Ariana's eyes scanned the room, and that's when she spotted Kieran, her younger brother, standing by the window, his nose inches away from the tights. His eyes were closed, and a look of pure bliss was on his face. Ariana's eyes widened in shock and outrage. "What the...?!" she exclaimed, her voice stern and commanding. Kieran's eyes snapped open, and he froze, his nose still buried in the tights. He looked guilty, caught red-handed. Ariana's face turned red with anger. "Kieran, what are you doing?!" she demanded, striding towards him. Kieran stuttered, trying to come up with an excuse, but Ariana wasn't having it. She snatched the tights out of his hands and held them up, inspecting them as if they were a prized possession. "These are mine," she declared. "You know better than to touch my stuff, especially not something as personal as my concert tights." Kieran looked down, shamefaced, but Ariana's expression suddenly changed. A mischievous glint appeared in her eye, and she reached into her pocket to retrieve a small device. "I'm going to teach you a lesson, Kieran," she said, a sly smile spreading across her face. With a quick press of a button, a bright light enveloped Kieran, and he let out a startled yelp. When the light faded, Ariana was staring at a miniature version of her brother, no bigger than a doll. "Ah, perfect," she cooed, scooping up the tiny Kieran in her hand. "You're going to make a wonderful addition to my collection." Ariana's eyes sparkled with a mixture of excitement and menace as she gazed at her miniature brother. Kieran, on the other hand, looked up at her with a terrified expression, realizing his fate was now in her hands.
