Work Text:
Joseph and Veronica weren’t just husband and wife, they were also both scientists. Lately, they were working on a project together - a brand new experimental growth formula. They had been working on it for at least a month, but made little progress. Their boss was starting to put pressure on them for results.
“The boss has been on our backs a while now, huh?” Veronica said.
“Yes, my love, but I think we’re close to a real breakthrough.”
“You mean we’re going to test it on someone?”
“I think that’s the most logical next step.”
“Oh, good! So what are you going to do?”
“I’m going to tell the boss that we’re further along than he knows. Maybe then he’ll back off and let us work uninterrupted.”
“You’re really going to talk to him? That’s good! What if he wants proof of our progress?”
“Well, we might have to test it on something if that’s the case. I’m not sure what though.”
“I’ll keep thinking if you will. Other than that, I’ll stay here and keep an eye on things.”
He kissed her cheek, “Hold down the fort until I return, gorgeous.”
She saluted, “You can count on me, Joey.”
He hurried out of the room. As soon as he left, she looked over the table at all their notebooks and vials. Eventually, her eyes fell on the growth formula.
“The only way to get him to back off is to give him results. I have no idea how we’ll get someone or something to test it on, so there’s only one thing to do. I’ll test it on myself. Besides, I wouldn’t mind gaining a few inches in height.”
She grabbed a syringe, filled it with the formula, and injected herself.
“Now we wait, and hope it works.”
A few minutes later, her beau came back.
“There you are, sweetie. What did the boss say?”
“Well, he thankfully didn’t ask for a demonstration, but he said if we are as far along as we claim, we’d better work fast.”
“We’ll just have to make the most of the time we’re given.”
“It seems that way, sweetheart. Hey, wait a minute. What’s this syringe doing here?”
“I’m sure it was there before.”
“I would never leave this lying around, you know that. Wait…did you test the formula on something?”
“Um…well I…”
He gently grabbed her shoulders, “Baby, please tell me the truth.”
She sighed, “Okay…the truth is I -”
She let out a groan as her body seemed to shudder. He backed up as she put her hands on her head. She began to slowly grow taller. Her clothes looked tighter, her pant legs rose, and her sleeves covered less of her arms. When she finally stopped, she shook her head and looked at her body. She now had a big smile on her face.
“Wow, what a rush! Look at me! It works!”
“Oh, baby, don’t tell me…”
“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you…” he gestured at all of her.
“Yes, I tested the formula on myself. They would’ve asked us for proof that it works eventually, and here it is! What are you so worried about?”
“Uh, how about the fact that since we were making the formula for the company, and now you’ve injected yourself with it, as soon as they find out, they’ll more than likely lock you up and perform tests on you.”
“Okay, that’s a good point. So what do we do? I mean, you’re not going to tell them, are you?”
“Of course not! Do you think I want them to take you away and treat you like a lab rat? How could I live with myself if they did that to my angel?”
She pulled him into a hug, which caused his face to go straight into her chest.
“Oh, sweetie, I love you. So what are we going to do?”
His voice was muffled.
“Oops, sorry.”
“Don’t be. I’m not,” he said with a wink.
She giggled, “You naughty boy.”
“I was saying, I think for now we should just go home and lay low. We’ll figure something out after I’ve had some time to think.”
“I can do that. Can we go to the store first, though?”
“... What?”
“Please? I mean, come on, I’m only,” she did a quick height comparison, “7 feet tall, and there are plenty of people that are naturally that tall.”
“No.”
“But we really do need to buy some food. Please?”
She did the puppy dog pout.
“It’s amazing how that works even though you tower over me. Okay, we’ll go.”
“Yay!”
“Thankfully, everyone else has gone home for the day. We can get you to the car without anyone noticing. Just, you know, kind of bend your knees so you don't look so tall.”
It was starting to get dark out when they sprinted to their car. Veronica had to squeeze inside, hitting her knees on the dashboard, and hitting her head on the roof. They moved the seat back as far as possible, but she still barely fit.
“Okay, this is a bit cramped, but still, it's pretty cool, right?”
“Yes, Ronnie, in a sense, it is.”
They headed for the store and made their way through every aisle.
“I can see over all the shelves and aisles, baby. This is so cool! My legs are so long that I keep getting ahead of you,” she giggled.
“I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Ronnie.”
They got quite a few stares from the other people in the store, but they managed to get in and out without any incidents. They headed home, and Veronica had to duck several times.
“I can't believe I have to duck to get through the door! Look at how high I can reach!”
“Yes, dear, that'll happen.”
“Be right back,” she said, heading into the bedroom.
She suddenly let out a loud gasp.
“Oh no!” she cried.
He rushed into the bedroom.
“What’s the matter?” he asked, “What happened?”
“What’s wrong? None of my clothes fit properly anymore! My feet are too big for any of my shoes! My shirts expose my midriff! I can’t even go shopping!”
He rolled his eyes, “Honey, I think you need to relax.”
She sighed, “Okay, I guess you’re right. So, what do you want to do?”
“We could always watch a movie.”
“Can I pick the movie?”
“Sure, baby.”
They were soon cuddled up on the couch together.
“Am I taking up too much room, sweetie?”
“I don’t mind, Ronnie. You’re very comfortable.”
“I was going to say the same thing. I wish I could sit in your lap like I usually do.”
“Why don’t you?”
“Darling, look at me. I’m huge! I could squish you.”
“Honey, you know me better than that. I can take it. Come on, sit down. Cuddle up as close as you want.”
She had a big smile on her face as she sat in his lap and wrapped her long arms around him.
“You’re so strong, sweetie. Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Ronnie, you’re the one that’s sitting at a frankly now quite uncomfortable angle. Maybe we should try something else.”
He was now laying on the couch.
“Now you can lay down next to me.”
“I don’t think you’ll be able to see the screen.”
“I’m not looking at the screen, Ronnie.”
She was giddy, “You’re such a flirt.”
She laid down next to him, her legs stretching out past the end of the couch.
“Are you comfy, Ronnie?”
“Well, I don’t fit properly anymore, but I’m next to you, so that’s all that matters.”
He began kissing her.
“Baby, what about the movie?”
“We can watch a movie any time.”
“We can also fool around at any time.”
“Yes, dear, but not with you being 7ft,” he chuckled.
“You mean after you got all worked up earlier when I used the formula on myself, now you’re all excited?”
“Well, why should you be the only one to enjoy it?”
He began kissing her neck.
“Oh, baby, you animal!”
After a while, they finally went to bed.
“Baby, my feet are sticking out over the edge of the bed.”
“Yes, and aren’t they pretty?”
She lightly smacked him.
“Stop it. I knew we should’ve bought a bigger bed.”
“Well, we didn’t have the money at the time, and you weren’t on a women’s basketball team yet,” he said with a laugh.
“Very funny.”
“Ronnie, I promise you, when we have the time, we can buy a bigger bed. We were planning to anyway, weren’t we?”
“Yes, that’s true. I guess I don’t have a choice right now, do I?”
“If it makes you feel better, you can snuggle up next to me as much as you want.”
“That does make me feel better.”
They wrapped their arms around each other.
“Good night, Big Ronnie.”
“Good night, little man.”
The next day
“What do you mean I have to stay home?”
“Honey, the second they see you, they’ll know what you did.”
“What are you going to tell them when you get there?”
“Nothing. I’ll just say you weren’t feeling well. While I’m there, I’ll start working on an antidote.”
“Okay, I’ll stay home, but I won’t like it.”
“Promise me you won’t leave the house while I’m gone.”
“Babe, come on. Where am I going to go?”
“You’re a very strong-willed woman, my dear. It’s one of the many things I love about you. So say it, please.”
“Okay, I promise.”
He gave her a hug and kiss, and then left for work. While he was away, Veronica kept looking for different ways to occupy her time. She tried watching some DVDs, she tried taking a nap, she tried making lunch, she tried reading, she tried writing, but it was always the same result. It was only a temporary respite from her boredom.
“Ugh, this is getting so boring. I wish I was outside so everyone could see how tall I am," she giggled, "Oh…I’m getting that funny feeling again…”
She started growing again. She became so big she had to sit down to fit in the room.
“Please don’t let me break through the house!”
Thankfully, she stopped growing.
“I can barely move now. I’m so big! I have to get out of here.”
She crawled over to the door.
“Ooh, this is going to be a tight fit.”
She shoved herself through the door, and of course got stuck.
“Come on! Let me out!”
The door frame was creaking and cracking. She kept pulling herself through the door, until at last, the door frame broke and she was able to get outside.
“Oh, gosh! I guess we’ll have to get that fixed. I hope he won’t be too upset about it.”
She laid down on the ground, hoping no one would see her.
“I’ll just have to wait out here until my little man gets back. He should be home soon.”
She was starting to doze off as the sun was setting. At last, Joe arrived back home.
“What in the world happened to the door? What am I saying? There’s only one thing it could be.”
He walked around into the backyard. He practically leapt into the air when he saw…
“Egads! She’s even bigger!”
“Baby, is that you?”
She sat up and smiled at him.
“Look, baby! I’m even bigger! You only reach my knees. I can pick you up so easily now.”
She reached over, picked him up, and looked him over.
“Careful now, I don’t want to drop you.”
“Ronnie, we need to get you back inside before someone sees you, which isn't hard since you're 25 feet tall.”
“Oh, stop worrying. I want to have some fun.”
“What kind of fun?”
She got up and walked over to the swimming pool. She got in, her feet easily reached the bottom.
She giggled, “Isn’t this nice? I’m so big, the pool is more like a bathtub. You look so cute.”
She kissed him several times.
He sighed, “I know I should be worried, but I’m happy you’re happy.”
“Now to help you relax. Just lay here on my chest for a while, sweetie. I’m going to soak in the pool. It’s just so relaxing.”
They stayed that way for a while, just enjoying being together. It was about 30 minutes or so before Veronica got up and stretched.
“Okay, I’ll get out now. But…where am I going to sleep?
“I’m afraid the only place you’ll fit now, my dear, is the garage.”
“The garage?”
“Come on, Ronnie. Let’s go.”
She stepped out of the pool, easily stepped over the fence, and was now in front of the garage.
“Put me down, baby, and I’ll open the door.”
Now that the garage door was open, she got down on her hands and knees and crawled inside.
“It’s not that roomy here. I have to curl up just to fit.”
“Well, after all, Ronnie, you’ve got to work with what you’re given.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“Why do you look so sad, my angel?”
“Because I’m going to be stuck in here all alone.”
“Ronnie, you don’t really think I’d leave you in here by yourself, do you?”
“You mean, you’ll stay with me tonight?”
“Ronnie, no matter how large you get, I’ll never leave your side.”
“Aw, thank you, sweetie.”
She grabbed him and pulled him close.
“Are you comfortable, baby?”
“Yes, Ronnie, I’m fine.”
“Okay, I’m glad. Good night, little man.”
“Good night, Ronnie.”
---
The next day
“I have to stay home again?”
“Well, the only place you’ll fit now is the garage, so you have to stay here. Also, yes, just like yesterday, you have to stay here so no one sees you.”
“Are you sure if they did see me they’d just lock me up?”
“Ronnie, you know what a jerk our boss is. I definitely wouldn’t put it past him.”
“How far along did you get with the antidote?”
“I’d say I’m very close.”
“I don’t mind staying home too much, but I don’t like that I can barely move. So please hurry back, baby. I miss you.”
“I don’t exactly enjoy having only myself to talk to at work, Ronnie. I’ll do what I can.”
He gave her a kiss.
“I’ll see you soon, Ronnie.”
As soon as he left, Veronica did the only thing she could do - sleep. When she woke up, it was a few hours later.
“Ugh, I can’t take this anymore! I’m a giantess! I’m big, I’m beautiful, but I’m stuck here! It’s not fair!”
Her whole body seemed to shudder.
“Uh oh…”
She was having another growth spurt. One of her legs smashed through the wall, while the other broke down the garage door. Her head crashed through the roof, so she shook off the debris.
“Oh, gosh! First the door, and now this!”
The garage destroyed, she stood above the rubble and stretched. She looked around, and then down at herself.
“Finally I can stretch and stand up straight! He might not like this, but it’s not like I can control it. Everyone’s going to see me anyway, so I’d better pay a visit to my cute little man and show him how huge I am now.”
She started walking to the lab. The assorted pedestrians, who only reached her shins, all stopped to stare. Traffic got backed up as she passed by. She laughed to herself and waved at her admirers.
“Hello, little people. Hope you’re enjoying the show.”
In one of the offices, their boss was watching TV when the news report came on about the giant woman. He quickly made a phone call.
As she got closer, Veronica started calling out, “Baby! Come out! It’s me! I’m even bigger! Sorry!”
He rushed outside to meet her.
“Ronnie?! You grew again!”
“Surprise!”
“Why did you come here? I hope it wasn't just to reenact that 50 foot woman movie.”
“Because you said you were trying to fix this anyway. Plus, I can’t fit in the house anymore.”
Suddenly, a team of men in uniforms rushed out, their boss behind them. One of them was getting out a large weapon. The others were surrounding Veronica.
“Hey! Who are you! Get away from me!”
The one with the large weapon fired it at her.
“Ow! You shot me! Is that a tranquilizer?”
“I’m glad it was just a tranq,” Joe thought.
Veronica was getting sluggish.
“Oh…I think I need to sit down.”
The team of men was moving closer.
“No, no, leave me alone.”
As soon as she passed out, they pulled out some heavy chains and tied her down to the ground. Joe, meanwhile, was being grilled.
“This is exactly why I didn’t want to tell you anything! I don’t care if it was just a tranquilizer! You shot my wife!”
His boss roughly shoved and poked him.
“Yes, I’m aware that since she injected herself with the formula that makes her company property. Please, though, hear me out. I’m so close to finishing the antidote. Let us go, and once she’s back to normal, you can do whatever you want with the growth formula.”
Veronica was waking up. She tried moving, but she saw that there were chains around her wrists, ankles, waist, and neck. She was still able to see what her boss was doing to her husband.
“Hey, leave him alone! I’m the one you wanted, right? Well, now you have me. Let him get back to work.”
“Are you feeling okay, Ronnie?”
“I’m fine, babe. I -”
“Shut up!” their boss snapped.
“What did you just say to me? Don’t you dare tell me to shut up! If you won’t let my man go, then I’m going to make you pay!”
He scoffed, “You couldn’t possibly get loose.”
“I’m warning you! You can’t keep me like this!”
“Do you ever stopped talking?” the boss asked.
“Hey, don’t talk to her like that!” Joe shouted.
The boss elbowed him in the gut.
“Baby! I told you to let him go! You’re making me angry!”
Her body began to tingle all over. She was having another growth spurt. As her body grew larger, the restraints gave way and broke apart. She stood all the way up at her new impressive height.
“I said… leave… him… alone!” she snapped.
Everyone ran for their lives. Their boss tripped as he tried to get away. She reached down, picked him up, placed him on the ground, and then flicked him away like a bug. She then got down on the ground, grabbed Joe, and began showering him with kisses.
“Are you okay, baby? Did they hurt you?”
“I’m fine, Ronnie. A little sore perhaps.”
“I was so scared for you.”
“I know, Ronnie, but now’s our chance. Since everyone’s run away, I can get back to the lab and finish the antidote uninterrupted.”
“Huh? Oh…right…Of course.”
She let him go, and he started to walk into the building. She just stood there watching him, but she suddenly stomped her enormous foot in front of his path.
“NO!”
“Ronnie, what are you doing?”
“I don’t want you to make me small!”
“We discussed this. I have to, otherwise our boss will come after you again.”
“How could you say that?! I won’t let you! Besides, he’s no match for me now.”
“This must be a side effect of the formula,” he thought, “Getting mad triggered a growth spurt, so now she’s in an overly aggravated state. Angry and gigantic are a bad combination. I’d better think of something.”
Just then, their boss and his troops came back with more tranquilizers and chains. The boss himself was in a helicopter.
She growled, “You don’t know when to quit, do you? I’ll teach you to try and experiment on me!”
She started trying to stomp on the troops, who clearly realized this wasn’t worth it, and they scattered. Those that tried shooting her with tranquilizers, did so to no avail.
"Nice try, tinies!" she laughed.
“Those won’t work, she’s on an adrenaline rush now. She's grown to 75 feet, and who knows if she'll grow again. I'd better get to my lab.”
The helicopter headed for the city.
“Come back, you coward! Hey, wait a minute. Where’s my little man? Get back here! When I’m done with that chopper, I’m coming back to get you! Do you hear me?!”
She headed after the helicopter. Once she was in the city, she proceeded to step on cars and smash buildings all while in pursuit of the chopper.
“Stupid buildings! Dumb cars! Annoying people! I was just minding my own business, and they had to attack me!”
---
Meanwhile, back at the lab, Joe finally finished the antidote.
“At last, I can fix this mess.”
Before he could leave, someone stood in his way.
“Oh, sir, it’s you!”
It was his boss’ boss.
“You rarely ever come down to the lab like this. Yes, I suppose these are extenuating circumstances.”
“I happen to know this was your project. How can I help?”
“I have a cunning plan. My wife is extremely agitated, and that’s putting it lightly. If I’m going to administer this antidote, I have to calm her down.”
“I’ll do all I can to provide assistance.”
“I appreciate that, sir.”
---
Meanwhile, giantess Veronica was still swatting at the helicopter, but it was always just out of reach.
"Okay, that does it!"
She climbed the nearest tall building to reach the helicopter. She finally managed to grab it and peeked inside.
“Not so tough now are you, you big jerk?”
She shook the chopper around like it was a can.
"You don't like that, do you?!"
She climbed back down and shook the helicopter some more.
"Come on out, big boss," she said with a snicker.
At last the boss fell out and she caught him.
"Got you."
"I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!" he begged.
She placed him on the ground and blew him away.
“Now get lost before I squash you like the bug you are!”
She stomped the ground for emphasis while he ran for it. For good measure, she smashed the helicopter.
“That felt good.”
---
In another part of the city, Joe managed to get everything set up.
“Okay, now we just need bait. Alas, only I can fulfill that role. What can I say? She finds me irresistible.”
He looked around and easily found her. She seemed to be looking for him.
“Over here, Ronnie!”
“Huh? Oh, there you are, little man. You’re mine now! Come here!”
“Uh, I’m gonna say no,” he replied, starting to run.
She gave a bombastic laugh, “What’s the use in running? I’ll catch you easily, little man! Still, if you really want to play a game of cat and mouse…here I come!”
In a few massive strides, she was practically on top of him.
“I’m going to catch you! This isn't just cat and mouse anymore. I’m a lioness!”
Suddenly, a mild tranquilizer hit her.
“Hey! Not again! You know, this isn’t going to put me to sleep. Although it is making me dizzy,” she shook her head, “But I can keep going. Get back here!”
She was moving slower, but she could still easily catch up with her man. Just as she passed between two tall buildings, some men dropped a weighted net on her.
“Hey! What in the world? This net is heavy…and I feel tired…”
She fell to the ground and was now laying on her back.
“This was your idea wasn’t it, little man? You’ll be in big trouble when I get out of this, and I do mean BIG!”
She struggled to get out, but due to the effects of the tranq, she felt too dizzy to properly remove the net.
“Okay, this is fine. Remove the net, please. Yes, I’m sure. Trust me. She’s my wife, after all.”
The net was removed, but Veronica was still laying on the ground.
“Thank you for removing that net, sweetie. This doesn’t change anything though. Once the tranquilizer wears off, I’ll be back on top, in more ways than one.”
“Ronnie, I need you to relax.”
"I am relaxed!"
He walked up to her nearest foot, which was more than twice his size, and climbed it. Her foot lightly twitched.
“What’s that? Something tickles. Hey, there’s something on my foot. Baby, is that you?”
“Yes, my love, it’s me.”
“You’re too small to give me a foot massage…too bad,” she said with a drowsy laugh.
He then moved on to walking along down her leg.
“That feels funny, but also nice.”
He was soon walking across her belly. It began shaking.
She giggled, “That tickles, too.”
“Oh dear,” he said to himself, “Here comes the ultimate obstacle.”
He had now reached her chest.
“How am I supposed to get past these? Do I go over or through?”
He placed a hand on one of them, causing her to let out a small gasp. Before he could do anything else, her colossal hand reached over and picked him up. She then brought him face to face.
“Not so fast, little man. That’s one obstacle that might be too much for you,” she chuckled, “What are you up to anyway?”
“Veronica, my darling, I want to make it up to you for how callously you’ve been treated. My little trek across your body has been a pleasant sensation, yes?”
“Well, yes it has actually. It’s a bit like a light massage. You haven’t answered my question, though.”
“I wanted to earn a kiss from you, my angel.”
“A kiss?”
“Yes, my gentle giantess. That’s why I started at the bottom. So I could prove to you how much I care.”
“Aw, that’s sweet. Well, if that’s how you feel, then I’ll let you finish. Keep up the good work, little man.”
She placed him down on the other side of her chest. He then started walking to her neck and shoulders. Once there, she moved some of her hair closer.
“Need a hand?” she asked.
“I appreciate it, gorgeous.”
He carefully worked his way down where he could grab it, and then used her hair to swing over to her ear.
“Hello, Ronnie.”
She chuckled, “Hello in there, little man.”
“You look absolutely amazing and positively beautiful. Not because you’re a giantess, but because you’re you.”
“Oh my goodness! You are such a flatterer.”
“Nonsense, Ronnie! It couldn’t possibly be flattery, because it’s all true.”
“Whatever you want to call it, you’re such a sweet talker.”
He then climbed onto her forehead, and then out onto her nose. Her huge eyes looked at him.
“Hey, what are you doing up there?”
“I’ve reached the top, baby! This is the finish line.”
“I think I'm going to sneeze,” she said, sniffing the air.
“Oh, no. Anything but that!”
She giggled, “Just kidding.”
“You're a riot, Kitty. Now how about that kiss?”
“Hmmm… Okay, I guess you’ve earned that much. Come here.”
She once again reached a gargantuan hand up and grabbed him. She brought him to her lips and gave him several giant kisses.
She pulled away from the last kiss, with a big, loud, “MWAH!”
When he saw that her mouth was still slightly open. He took that opportunity to throw the vial of antidote inside.
She gulped and looked at him again, “What was that?”
“What was what, Katie?”
She shrugged, “I guess it was nothing. That was fun, little man. We should do that again.”
“Whatever you say, dear.”
Her stomach let out a growl, “Oh…I feel so strange…”
She started to shrink.
“Hey! I’m shrinking!”
She looked at her body as she slowly reduced in size.
She brought Joe close and whispered, “I knew you could do it, sweetie."
She lowered her hand to the ground and he jumped off once she was small enough. When she finally returned to her normal size, he rushed over and pulled her into a hug.
“I’m so glad you're safe, Ronnie. I don't know what I'd do without you.”
“You're my hero, little man.”
They kissed each other. Their boss’ boss interrupted to explain things.
“Glad to see you’re both safe. Your boss, or should I say your ex-boss, is being arrested for his many stupid decisions, including misuse of company funds. While it was certainly a risk, you’ve proved the growth formula and antidote work. Therefore, I’m giving an extension on your work.”
“Thank you for all your help, sir.”
“We both appreciate it,” Veronica said.
---
A few other things had to be taken care of, but they were finally allowed to go home.
“I'm sorry about the house, sweetie. I wrecked the door and the garage.”
“It couldn't really be helped, Ronnie.”
She looked lost in thought.
“What's on your mind, babe?”
“I know you had to change me back, sweetie, and I’m sorry I tried to hurt you.”
“That was just a side effect.”
“Yes, baby, I know, but still. Anyway, I know this whole thing caused a lot of trouble, but it was so much fun being a giantess. I wish I could do it again, you know, without the whole trying to kill you part. Knowing how big I'm going to get and how often the growth spurts occur would also be helpful.”
“There'll be plenty of time for us to refine the formula after our brief vacation, Ronnie. Although, if you're so eager to fix it, we can get started right now.”
“Huh? Really? How?”
“How else?”
He winked at her, and then he reached into his pockets and pulled out two small vials - one of the growth formula, and one of the antidote.
“We have our own personal lab equipment. Let's not waste any time.”
“You're willing to use time off for this?”
“If it makes you happy, my angel, then of course.”
She smiled, “Well then what are we waiting for?”
She gave him a big hug.
“You’re so good to me, little man.”
They exchanged kisses as they headed into their lab.
