Lucy kept excitedly peppering Crystal with questions, wanting to know all the details of her incredible transformation.
“How tall are you now?” Lucy asked. Before, the top of Crystal’s head had come up to below Lucy’s nose, but now their roles were practically reversed, and Lucy found herself staring at her friend’s full lips, now twisted into a smug smirk.
“Five feet, ten inches,” Crystal said proudly, standing a little straighter.
“You grew like a foot taller!?” Lucy exclaimed.
“More like 10 inches,” Crystal said. She raised an eyebrow. “Wait, how tall did you think I used to be?”
Lucy ignored her and went on, walking around to Crystal’s front and prodding her in the prodigious chest. “How big are the girls now?”
Crystal puffed her chest out. “I’m wearing a 38DD,” she boasted. She cupped her breasts and gave them a bounce, almost gasping at the sensation. The erotic sensitivity from growing still lingered. She took a breath, then went on. “But this bra’s a little snug, honestly. I’m probably going to have to go get custom fitted.”
Lucy glanced down at her own chest. “Man, jealous.” Then she looked back up. “Did it hurt? Growing, I mean?”
“Not at all. In fact,” Crystal blushed a little and her voice lowered. “In fact, it felt really good. Like, really good.”
Lucy bit her lip as her eyes darted across her friend’s body again, “D-Do you have-“
She snapped her mouth shut and looked past her friend. Crystal turned around and saw Josh Caldwell approaching them. Crystal had had a crush on him since freshman year. He was tall, attractive, intelligent and friendly. Athletic but not a jock. Smart but not really a nerd. Sensitive but absolutely not a pushover. He was one of the few boys who so much as gave her the time of day, but still, she didn’t think he’d ever go for the diminutive beanpole that she used to be.
Used to be. She grinned as she noticed that she was now the same height as Josh now.
“Hey, Lucy,” Josh said as he approached the two of them, raising his hand in greeting. Then he lowered it and held it out to Crystal. “Hi, I’m Josh,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve seen you around before. You new?”
Beside and behind her, Crystal could hear Lucy tittering excitedly. He doesn’t recognize me, she realized. What should I tell him?
She considered fooling with him for a moment, but Josh was such a sweet guy it felt wrong to lie to him. Despite her new body, she suddenly felt bashful again.
Before Crystal could answer Josh, though, there was a commotion from down the block. Everyone at the bus stop looked down the street as loud splintering and crashing sounds echoed between the houses. Suddenly, the house at the end of the block shuddered, and the windows on the lower story blew out, accompanied by a cloud of dust.
“I-isn’t that your house?” Lucy whispered to a bewildered Crystal. “What the hell’s going on?”
Then the house shook again, and the walls cracked while the roof bulged outward. Then, a low moan echoed across the neighborhood, and Crystal went pale as she abruptly remembered she had left another bottle of the fertilizer in the back of the refrigerator. Suddenly, part of the roof blew apart, and the crowd gasped as a very large head covered in messy dark hair emerged into the morning sunlight through the shattered roof, quickly followed by broad uncovered shoulders and a bare chest as the figure rapidly grew bigger and bigger.
“Oh my god,” Crystal whispered, as she realized the towering figure outgrowing her house was…
