Jason picked "Pending" since that sounded like it would hold his changes to the side while maintaining the original file Laura had created.
"Pending an overwrite, that makes sense, right?" The next screen to appear had a pair of options. The first was a drop down that read "Progressive" and the next was another drop down that read "6 Months." Jason was even more confused by these options but before he could even begin to investigate he heard Laura emerge from her shower. He quickly tapped "Apply" and reopened Greg's profile. Satisfied that things were back to normal he left the iPhone where he'd found it and stealthily made his way downstairs and flipped on the TV to wait for Laura to get ready.
From time to time as the day went on Jason tried to see if he could get Laura's phone from her so he could investigate the strange app further, but it quickly became clear that she wasn't going to let it out of her sight. By the following day he had all but forgotten about the app and the rendering of himself at 370 pounds of muscle.

A month later on the 4th of July Jason was getting ready to leave the house. He slid on one of his favorite t-shirts, a vintage looking Star Wars shirt with a X-Wing on the front, and frowned when it was too tight.
"So many of my shirts have been shrinking lately," he said. "Unless I'm getting fatter." He put his hands to his stomach and realized that it still fit fine around his middle. He'd never really thought about it but his shirts were tightest around his chest and shoulders. Curious he made his way to the bathroom mirror and removed his top.
As a rule he never really paid any attention to his body, his 6 foot and 150 pound body was skinny and unappealing and he'd rather not even look at it, but now that he really took his reflection in he saw that his chest was no longer sunken but had developed enough pectoral muscle to even have a fairly deep groove running down his sternum and his shoulders looked wider. His stomach, too, even had some definition to it and when he tensed his arms he could see his muscles flex and harden a bit.
He couldn't believe it, he had a nice body. But how? Suddenly the memory of himself at superhuman levels of muscular development came back to him.
"But that's not possible, is it?" Jason asked his reflection. He remembered the screen that read "6 Months" and "Progressive" and did some quick math. "Growing from 150 pounds to 370 over six months would mean about 35 pounds a month. It's been about four weeks since I would have started..."
He pulled out the bathroom scale and stepped on it. The digital readout reported his weight at 190 pounds. "Holy shit! I've already grown by 40 pounds!!" He put his hands on his chest and felt the solid sinew beneath. "I feel so hard, I wonder if I'm stronger already. I mean, I must be."
Jason's mind was going a mile a minute, he felt like he was suddenly bursting with energy. He needed a test so he dropped to the floor and began doing push-ups. In the past he could only ever do a couple, maybe 5 at best, before his weak arms gave out. Now he quickly made it to 20 before he switched to doing them one handed. "I'm way stronger than I used to be!!" He said as he switched from arm to arm pressing his body weight with ease.
He left the bathroom and searched his closet for some loose fitting clothes. He found some denim shorts that came down to his knee and a baggy button up shirt. He looked kind of like a slob, but it would do until he could find some new clothes. "I'm going to need lots and lots of new clothes if I'm really going to hulk out like I think." Just the thought of his impending growth made his penis, the only muscle of his that had always been naturally huge though he'd never had the confidence to use it, stand at its full 10 inch glory.
He grabbed his phone and called Laura. She answered and Jason could tell by her voice that she was annoyed by something. He asked her what was wrong.
"Nothing. It's just Greg and Vanessa." She sighed. Jason rolled his eyes, it was always her siblings. "Tonight is their annual 4th of July beach bonfire. It'll be gorgeous girls and buff guys everywhere. So depressing."
"Yeah, depressing..." Jason's mind was drifting away from their current conversation and towards Laura's older sister. Jason had been harboring a major crush on the busty blonde for years but had never even considered acting on it but now he was a good looking guy with some decent muscular development. Jason knew Vanessa was drawn to guys with muscles and before long he would have more muscle than anyone else in the world. He was pretty sure he could get a date out of her if he were to try. Then again, maybe he'd be better off if he were to wait until he was even bigger and besides his best friend was feeling down. He guessed she didn't know that the app he'd found really worked or else she would have made some changes of her own. Perhaps telling her would cheer her up. Then again she may have gotten rid of the app and telling her could make things worse if she couldn't get it back.
