Jasmine, continued to walk home with her best friend Annabel, who was skipping along next to her.  They both just got out of school and were heading home.  Both second graders lived in the same neighborhood as neighbors, but anyone they met swore they were more like sisters.  They did everything together and were inseparable, yet they didn’t always agree on everything.  There were little things that they couldn’t help but disagree about like what was the best TV show, or if cake is better than a cup cakes, or if buggies were real people.  These dislikes were either from their personality or how they were raised by their parents.

Jasmine’s parents, unlike most people, didn’t like to interact with buggies just because they disgusted them.  Just the sight of the small people that were about the same size of a bug gave both of them the creeps.  So Jasmine never got to see a buggy until she went to school where she learned the fate of buggies.  Due to their size and inability to communicate with the giants they were reduced down to playthings of others.  Children, pets, and even adults do what they like with them.  Some people try to defend the buggies by saying that they were real people too and could feel pain and love just like them.  Unfortunately it was a select few people who believed that and there wasn’t much they could do to help the buggies from being used.

But even with those differences Jasmine and Annabel were the best of friends. 

As they were walking home Jasmine brought up the math test they just took.  “What did you get for number 5 on the math test, Anne?”

Annabel slowed her skip down to a walk to keep pace with Jasmine.  She started to shake her head letting her pig tails sway with her head.  “I can’t remember.  I think I said it was 15?  What was the question?”

Jasmine let out a sigh.  Annabel had always had a short memory when it came to school.  “It was 10 plus 6 minus 2 equals what?  I said it was 14.”

Annabel shrugged her shoulders, “You probably got it right.  I was more worried about what my mom is making for me as a snack.  I hope its bagel bites.  Hey do you want to come over and play?”

Jasmine shook her head no.  “My parents said that I needed to come home right after school.”

“Ohhh, is someone in trouble?”  Annabel teased.

“No.  They said that we needed to shop for some school clothes.”

“I guess I’ll see you in school tomorrow.”  With that being said Annabel started to skip forward when she stopped.

“What’s wrong?”  Jasmine asked.

“Look,” she said with a hint of joy in her voice.  She pointed a couple of feet in front of her and Jasmine saw what she was pointing at.  There in the middle of the sidewalk were a couple of buggies trying to cross.  “Buggies,” Annabel said with glee.  No sooner did she say that did she bend her knees and jumped with all her might.  She flew through the air a couple of feet and landed right on top of the buggies.  Annabel let out a delighted laugh when there was a crunching noise under her feet.  She then proceeded to jump up and down again and again listen to the sound of the crunching turn to more of a squishing sound.

Annabel let out a squeal of pleasure when she pointed again.  Further down the side walk were there more buggies.  They were running away in a line further down the sidewalk.  “I’m going to get you buggies!”

Jasmine watched with a sick feeling as she saw the small red puddle left by Annabel’s first victims of the day.  She continued to watch as Annabel skipped ahead to squish the rest of them.  One by one she obliterated each and every one of them.  When she crushed the last one she turned around and waved goodbye to Jasmine and headed home.  Jasmine waved back and started to head home, which was 2 more blocks down.  She looked down at the concert which had red patches on them from the victims that Annabel killed.  Jasmine couldn’t help but feel sad for them. 

Jasmine continued to walk home and was almost home when she stepped on something.  There was a slight resistance and a faint yelling noise under her foot.  Jasmine jumped back as she reliazed she just stepped on a buggy.  She felt tears well up at what she just did quickly she scanned the sidewalk to see the red mess left from her carelessness when she didn’t see one.  Confused she looked more carefully when she came across the sight of what she stepped on.  In the middle of the sidewalk there were two buggies.  But there was something strange about them.  Unlike most buggies they were clothed.  Of course some people cloth their buggies so it wasn’t that strange.  They must have escaped from one of the houses.  Bending down to apologize just because it seemed like the right thing to do even if they couldn’t understand her, Jasmine squatted above them and got a better look.  There was a woman that looked to be around early 20 who was wearing a pink t-shirt with shorts, while standing over a male buggy who wore a gray hoodie and pants who was lying down injured and not moving.  Jasmine thought it was odd that none of them were reduced to a stain on her shoe, but thought it was her quick reaction that prevented this.  Opening her mouth to apologize she was instantly cut off by the women buggy who begged, “Please, help him.”

Jasmine let out a gasp at those words for one reason, buggies couldn’t talk…

“Have a nice summer,” Sam’s English teacher said to his class.  Sam picked up her books and exited the classroom along with the other college students that attended her English class.    Sam couldn’t help but feel excited that class was over.  It wasn’t because she hated English, but because it was her last class, meaning that she was done with school for now.  Samantha looked around and noticed one of her friends waiting for her outside her class.

“Sam!”  Bethany ran over to Sam and gave her a big hug hello.  Bethany was roughly 2 feet taller than Sam, so when she gave Sam a hug it was almost impossible for Sam not to be picked up off her feet.  Sam knew Beth since high school; in fact she was her first friend she made there.  Bethany hit a growth spurt half way through their freshman year.  Due to her height Beth made the varsity team for volleyball and knew a lot of upper classmen. But Beth never became one of those kids that acted like she was better than everyone.  That is what Sam loved about her.  As Beth became popular and everyone thought she was a senior, Sam too became popular.  Sam and Beth were the most known high schoolers throughout their high school years.  To this day they have been best friends since.

“Whoa, Beth come on,” Sam said.  “We just saw each other a few hours ago.  Besides you know I hate it when you pick me up like that, I feel so small when you do that.”

“Sorry Sam.  I’m just excited that class is over.”  Sam was more relieved that now she had some time to relax and not worry about school.  She didn’t have any plans yet but she was sure to find something to do.  Beth walked with Sam through the building to head to the parking lot where Beth’s car was.  Along the way they met some friends who tagged along with them.  It wasn’t long before they had a small group joking around and talking about their lives.

There was a reason Sam loved this school; it was because of all her friends she made here.  It wasn’t just Because of Bethany being here but all her other friends hanging out with her right now.  Matt, Frank, Tiffany; almost her entire class from high school went to this college.  Not to mention the college was close to her house which made the commute to it was perfect for her.  Sam lived in a decent sized neighborhood that was barely a 10 minutes’ drive.  The best thing about the college is that it offered her major.  The only down side to the college is that her boyfriend (or ex) went to an out of state college.  They both agreed to break it off due to the distance that was between them.  Sam didn’t want him to be tied down to her when he was so far away.  It didn’t seem fair to him, so she asked if they should just stay in touch and be friends.  Mark agreed and they went their separate ways. 

“So ladies what do you feel like doing now that it’s officially summer,” Matt asked.

Beth gave him a grin, “Wouldn’t you like to know.  I might go to the beach and try on my new swim suit and work on my tan.”  She started to sway her hips seductively in front of him causing everyone to laugh.  “Or better yet, I could get rid of the tan lines and not even wear a bathing suit.”

Blushing Matt said, “Well I bet it would be difficult to put sun lotion on.  Maybe you might need some help putting it on?”

Seeing where this was going Beth couldn’t help herself.  She nodded her head, “Your right.  It is difficult to put sun lotion on my back without help.  But who can help me?”  She but on a playful sexy pout that caused the other guys to start to blush too.  She scanned over the faces and winked at a few guys.  “Ah I know who it will be.”  She slowly closed the distance between Matt and herself.  Matt started to act uncomfortable as Beth came closer and closer to him.  “Do you want to know who I want to rub me down?”  She asked in a seductive voice.  Matt could only nod as his voice suddenly died.  Slowly Beth said, “I… Want… Sam!”

Sam couldn’t react as Beth spun around and picked Sam up in a hug and spun her around.  Sam tried to protest but was overwhelmed.  When Beth set Sam down, she couldn’t move as her face started to glow red from embracement.  This caused everyone to start to laugh.

Sam looked at Beth with anger in her eyes.  Beth quickly gave her a meek look, “Sorry Sam.  I couldn’t help myself.”

“I’m out of here,” Sam said as she quickly turned around and left everyone.

“Oh come on Sam don’t be like that!” Beth shouted “It was just a joke!  Sam?  Ok, I’ll just text you later than!”

Sam rolled her eyes as she left the parking lot and headed to the parking lot that she parked at.  She should have parked closer to the building that held her class but the lot was full so she had to find another spot to park.  The only available space was near the end of campus next to the woods.  Sam was still upset that Beth would manhandle her in front of her friends like that when she reached her car.  Thinking of a way to get back at her she went to unlock her car when she saw something out of the corner of her eye.  It was a figure walking away from her.

Instinctively she looked to see who it was; it was a man in a gray hoodie with its hood up, heading toward the woods.  Sam paused as something about the figure that stirred up memories causing her to continue to watch the figure walk off into the woods.  When the person disappeared into the woods was when Sam could move again. 

Sam felt like she’d seen that hoodie from somewhere but couldn’t place where she saw it.  Searching through her memories she finally found out where she last saw a hoodie like that; high school.  It belonged to her old childhood friend, Nick.

“Nick?  Nick!”  She shouted trying to get his attention but it was too late he was already too deep into the woods to hear her.  Before she could stop herself Sam started to head into the dense forest trying to catch up with Nick.  Entering the woods she was instantly assaulted by the cool air produced by the shade of the tall oak trees that towered over her.  Glancing around she tried to find the hooded man when she caught a glimpse of him off in the distance as he went behind a tree.  Samantha called out but to her aggravation he didn’t show any sign of hearing her.  Letting out a sigh of annoyance she quickly chased after him deeper into the forest.

Sam tried to catch up to the man but every time she thought she caught up he would disappear behind another tree.  Samantha was getting mad now but the only thing that kept her going was the fact that she really wanted to talk to Nick.  As she followed deeper and deeper into the forest Sam tried to remember the last time she saw Nick, which was freshmen year in high school.

They use to be such close friends… when Sam was 3 she meet Nick at the park and they played together as friends.  Ever since then they were the closest of friends; they did everything together.  When Nick wanted to play soccer Sam would play and when Sam had her tea parties Nick would come over.  They went to the same school and helped each other when they were having trouble with school.  If something ever bothered Sam Nick would fix it.  Like when she was bullied on the playground by a group of kids, Nick didn’t hesitate to intervene and stop it. 

Nick was always happy and fun to be with.  He knew how to make Sam smile no matter what.  Then something happened.  It was the summer after 8th grade and they were going to go to the same high school.  Sam’s parents where having a family reunion at the beach all summer long.  Sam wasn’t going to be able to talk to Nick until school started. 

Something happened over those few months.  Sam didn’t see Nick until her first day at high school.  She just made friends with a couple of kids, one of them was Beth, and she noticed Nick walking down the hall way.  Sam called out for Nick to join her.  What happened next changed them both.  Nick gave her a sad smile and walked on as if he didn’t know her.  Sam didn’t understand what happened.  After that day she tried to find Nick but he seemed to avoid her at all times.  She would have gone to his house and confronted him but didn’t want to embarrass him in front of his parents which might ruin whatever friendship was left.  Sadly after freshman year she slowly started to forget about Nick completely as she made new friends.

Sam didn’t know what was up with Nick but now she was going to find out, but what was he doing out here in the woods?  Slowly a thought occurred to her… was he on drugs?  That would explain a lot.  While she was gone Nick must have gotten hooked on drugs.  All through school he must have been doing drugs.  It would explain why he looked tired and depressed; and that was why he never tried out for sports. One of the major reasons Sam became a cheerleader was to talk with Nick; but he never tried out for any of them, and Sam knew that Nick wouldn’t have turned down soccer try outs unless something was wrong, he might have failed the drug test.  It would also explain why he is in the woods; he’s meeting his drug dealer! 

“Oh no…” Sam said as she felt grief wash over her.  It was her fault that Nick got hooked on drugs.  If she didn’t leave that summer she could have prevented him from getting pressured into taking drugs.

Samantha quickened her pace as she chased after Nick.  She finally came to an opening in the forest with a U shape clearing that bend around a set of rocks that were the size of trucks in the open field.  Sam saw the grey hooded man walking toward the rocks.  Sam quickly hid behind a tree that was at the edge of the clearing.  Poking her head out, she looked out into the field and saw that Nick was meeting a man lying down on one of the rocks.  He seemed to be asleep.  Sam knew it!  There wasn’t anything she could do to stop Nick from getting the drugs so she would just wait until he came back and confront him then.

Nick slowly walked out toward the designated meeting point.  Nick flipped his hoodie down and headed to set of boulders that were in the middle of the field.  Even in the hot weather Nick was fine with his long sleeve hoodie.  The hoodie had always made Nick more comfortable when he had to meet someone like this.

“You’re here earlier than expected,” The man said as he sat up from the rock that he was lying on.

“There’s nothing wrong with coming earlier than agreed, Ralph.”

Ralph let out a chuckle, “I guess not.”  Ralph sat up and pushed himself off the rocks and landed on his feet.  It was an impressive feat, or would be if Nick didn’t know Ralph.

“Well?  What’s your answer Nick, do we have a deal or not?” Ralph asked as he took a step closer.

Nick gave him a glare, “You know my answer Ralph.”

“Really?” Ralph said as he started to walk around Nick.  “That’s a lot of money I offered you, 30 million.”  As Ralph circled Nick, he kept his eyes on him at all times. 

“I know how much you offered and I’m not interested.  Now it’s my turn to give you an offer you might want to consider.  Leave now and I won’t hurt you.”

Ralph let out a tsking sound and stopped right behind Nick.  “Nick… are you sure you want to do this?”

Nick turned around and flipped up his hoodie.  “Why else do you think I picked this spot?  No one will get hurt.”

Ralph laughed out loud for a few seconds.  When he was done laughing he stepped closer, “Well if you insist.”  Before Nick could throw up his guard Ralph drew his fist back and punched him in the face sending him flying back a couple of feet.

Sam didn’t know what happened but she let out a gasp as she saw Nick take a punch to the face from the man who was on the rock.  She had to cover her mouth as not to let out any sound as she watched the man walk over to Nick and let out a laugh.  He pulled back his right leg to kick Nick, only to have Nick grab his other leg and pull it out from under him.  In one quick motion Nick flip himself up off the ground and got into a fighting pose that showed that he meant business.

The man slowly rolled to his feet and laughed again.  He said something that she couldn’t hear from this distance.  Then he charged Nick.  What happened next stunted her beyond belief; Nick instantly disappeared and reappeared in front of the man and punched him in the face.  The man went flying only to stop in midair… FLYING!  Sam couldn’t move as she stood there flabbergasted at what she was seeing.  The man in midair quickly flew at Nick and started to punch him, which in turn Nick started to block his attacks and counter with punches of his own.  They were punching and kicking each other in fluid motions that reminded Sam of some kind of dance almost.  To Sam’s surprise Nick landed three punches to the man’s gut which sent him reeling back holding his gut.  The man let out a growl and brought his hand up.  What happened next made Sam shake in fear.  There was a bright light that shot out of his hand and went straight for Nick’s head.  Nick quickly dodged it and threw out his hand and an orb of light flew out and hit the man in the chest.  It exploded with a loud sound as a shock wave blew air across the field and into Sam’s face.  Sam had to cover her face until the wind died down.  When she could see again she saw Nick and the man back into a fist fight punching each other.  They were landing blow after blow not letting up on each other as she could feel the blows from where she was.  Nick took a punch to the face and staggered back.  The man followed up to deliver another blow only to be met with an upper cut.  The man went flying about 20 feet and landed with a thud.  Sam watched as Nick slowly walked over there. 

Sam wanted to leave but she latterly was unable to move her feet.  She clung to the wood of the tree like her life depended on it.  Thoughts flew in her mind: What was going on?  Why were they fighting?  How could they do what they were doing?  Most importantly:  This can’t be the Nick I know… is it?

Nick slowly walked over to Ralph.  He wiped his face as he felt blood dripping down his face.  He never wanted this to happen but Ralph left him no choice.  If Nick didn’t stop Ralph he would have hurt the ones he loved.  Nick stood over Ralph who lay on the ground breathing heavily. 

He gave Nick a growl and said, “You should have taken the money!”  He quickly flipped backwards and jumped up into the air.  He hovered over Nick and let out an evil laugh, “If I can’t win THEN NO ONE WILL!”  He started to glow red as the air around him started to swirl around him. 

“What the hell are you doing,” Nick shouted over the air.

“I’m taking you with me!”  Ralph started to glow a dark red and then the air grew darker around him.  Nick couldn’t believe what he was Ralph was doing.  He was building up his energy to self-destruct himself. 

“Ralph stop!  You’re building up too much energy!  You’re going to destroy half the world!”

“Then so be it!”  Ralph laughed as he started to glow a brighter red until it was almost blinding. 

“You left me with no choice then,” Nick barely whispered knowing that it was too late for Ralph to stop; he was too far gone.  The only thing Nick could do now was try and prevent the explosion from destroying the world.   There was only one way to stop it and Nick wasn’t sure he could do it.  Concentrating, Nick held his hand out; the air around him stilled as a dark orb started to appear in the palm of his hand.  Slowly the orb grew to the size of a basketball.  The air all around stopped blowing and everything became deathly silent.  This is it, Nick thought, either I die trying to save the world or I die saving the world…

Sam should have ran a long time ago but her feet just didn’t want to move.  She watched in bewilderment and horror as the strange man started to glow red.  The air around her screamed at her making her wish she could budge from her spot but couldn’t.  She looked at Nick and watched as he held out his right hand and a black dot appeared.  It slowly grew bigger and bigger until it stopped.  The air slowly died down and there wasn’t a sound to be heard when the orb stopped growing. 

Suddenly there was a shockwave sent out by glowing man.  The shockwave hit Sam and knocked the air out of her lungs as she struggled to breathe.  The tree’s branches were being blown back.  As soon as Sam got use to the force that was still pushing her back she saw that the man started to flash and then it happened; he exploded. 

Before Sam could move the black orb in Nick’s hand expanded and grew outward and absorbed Nick and the explosion.  It kept expanding and quickly washed over her.  Sam blacked out the moment the wave hit her.

Sam rolled over in her sleep and realized she was sleeping on a bed rock when she felt the hard rocky surface poke her from below her.  Slowly opening her eyes she looked around and sat up in confusion.  All around her there was a white greyish rocky desert that she went off to her left and her right.  In front of her and behind her was a long line of tall green trees.  The ground was completely level and flat.  She looked behind herself to see Nick lying down on his back.  Sam didn’t move as the events that transpired came back to her.  Nick… what was he?  Could she trust him after seeing what he did?  Debating on what to do, she finally realized that she was in a strange place and Nick was the only one who could answer her questions.  Getting up off the ground Sam walked over to Nick and kneeled down over Nick.  She gently woke him up.

Nick was fast asleep when he felt himself being shaken awake.  Quickly he opened his eyes and sat up.  To his shock he saw Sam sitting next to him.  “Sam?”  Looking around he came back to Sam, “Where are we?”

“Good question Nick where are we?”  Sam asked giving him a stern look.

Nick flipped his hood down and looked up into the sky to see a blue sky and the sun shining down at them.  It was about 2 or 3ish in the afternoon, roughly an hour after the fight with Ralph.  After a few moments Nick shrugged as he stood up, “Beats me.”  He held his hand out to help Sam up.  He noticed the shock on her face as she looked up at him. 

“What do you mean?  You don’t know?”

Nick just shrugged again, “I have no idea where we are.”

“But aren’t you the one that sent us here with that … black thing!?  What was that anyway… no what were you doing… who were you fighting?  Why were the two of you fighting?” Sam quickly asked Nick.

“Whoa, slow down.  First let me help you up,” Sam hesitated at first but then grabbed his hand.  Nick helped her.  “Ok before you start asking a million questions we should find some shelter.  Which direction do you want to head to, there;” Nick pointed over to his left and then his right, “or there.”  Both directions had the same weird looking green trees growing that headed all the way down the desert like terrain they were on. 

“Let’s head to the one closest to use.”  Sam said as she was about to head toward the forest that was in front of them.  It wouldn’t take too long to reach she thought when out of nowhere the sun was blotted out.  Sam barely had time to look to see a giant shoe come crashing down on them.

Nick barely noticed the giant shoe about to squash the life out of the both of them.  Nick quickly shoved Sam out of the way where she landed on her back.  Nick quickly poured his strength into his arms as he felt the pressure of the shoe bear down on him.  Nick let out a roar as the shoe pushed his arms down with such force that he fell to his knees and even then the weight increased more and more ever nanosecond.  Nick suddenly felt a pop and heard a crackle as his left arm snapped.  He lout a shout of agony as pain washed over him.  His right arm would soon break too and he would be nothing but a red stain under the shoe.  Nick couldn’t help but start to black out.  When he thought it was over the shoe immediately let up off him.  As the sun light came back he heard Sam call out to him but couldn’t do more than fall down onto his face as everything started to fade to darkness.

Sam cried out as she was shoved.  Turning around she watched in horror as a giant sneaker came crashing down on where she was just at.  The size of the shoe made her breathless as she realized what was going on.  They weren’t in a desert; they were on a giant sidewalk.  Those weren’t trees they were heading to but was actually grass.  The sneaker belonged to a giant who was walking on the sidewalk. She could see Nick holding up the sneaker but was slowly losing the battle as the weight of the sneaker seemed to be just too much.  Suddenly Nick let out a cry as Sam heard a sickening sound.  As if the sneaker heard it too, it quickly rose off of Nick allowing Sam to rush to Nick and see how he was doing. 

Sam kneeled down next to Nick and saw the broken arm and the bone that was sticking out slightly.  Holding her hand over her mouth she tried not to lose it at the sight of the injury.  Sam didn’t know what to do as she looked up at their attacker.  The attacker seemed no older than a child.  The child noticed them and was bending down toward them.  Sam did the only thing she could do, she asked for help.

“Please, help him.” She begged the child hoping that she understood her.  The child’s mouth hung open in shock.  Sam was about to say something, but was picked up gently by the giantess and placed into her pocket.  “No!  You have to help him!  He’s injured, please,” Sam yelled out hoping the child hoping she would listen and take pity on Nick.  

“Don’t worry little buggies I’ll be your new owner now.  You don’t have to worry; I’ll take good care of you.”

Sam held Nick’s unconscious body close to her not only for his safety but for some comfort.  Each passing second that Sam was in the dark only made her fear rise higher and higher, fearing what was to become of the two of them…

Jasmine headed to her room as she passed her parents.  She was teeming with excitement as she made it to her bedroom door.  She was about to close the door when her mom stopped her.

“Honey don’t forget we need to go shopping for your new school clothes.”

“I won’t mom.  Can I just have 10 minutes to get changed and unpack?”

“Of course honey.  I’ll make you a snack before we leave.”  Jasmine thanked her mom and closed her door to give herself some privacy.  She wanted to explore her new found discovery.  Gently Jasmine dug her hand into her pocket searching for her talking buggies.  She felt the head of one of them and proceeded to scoop both of them out of her pocket and place them on her dresser so jasmine would able to get a better view of them.  The female one had strawberry blonde hair that flowed down to her shoulders tied back into a pony tail.  Jasmine was slightly jealous of her figure as she seemed to be the perfect figure she wanted to grow up into.  It was hard to tell how tall exactly they were, roughly the same size as any other buggy, somewhere between an inch or two. 

The male buggy looked to be sleeping.  He had short curly blonde hair.  Jasmine was surprised that he wasn’t bigger considering that when she stepped on him he was still alive.  Instead he seemed kind of … weak; he wasn’t skinny but not muscular.  There wasn’t much to him, if he was regular size he would be just another person in the crowed.  Yet there was something about him that made her take a second look at him.  When she was inspecting both of them she noticed that something was wrong with him.

“What’s wrong with him?”  Jasmine asked curious of what the female buggy was trying to do to the male one.

Jasmine was delighted to get a response from the female.  “He has a broken arm.  Quick do you have any cloth I can use?”

“You mean, like small clothes?  Sorry, I never had to take care of any buggies before.  My name is Jasmine, what’s your name?”

“If I don’t tend his wound he might die.  What to do, what to do,” The buggy said pacing back and forth.  Jasmine kept watching fascinated by the fact that the buggy could speak sentences.  Yet she was slightly upset that she was ignoring her.  Whoever trained them must have practice a lot with her.  Then the buggy stopped moving and her face started to blush.  “My shirt…”

Sam didn’t know what to do, she only had one choice.  Blushing hard she quickly took her shirt off and revealing what was underneath it, just a white lacy bra.  She quickly wrapped Nick’s injury up tight so he it looked like he had a pink cast on.  Sam knew a little about first aid and how to wrap up a broken arm.  When she was done she turned around to see that Jasmine was looking at her with wonder and curiosity.  Feeling exposed even to the child she tried to cover her C-sized breast up as best she could.

“Jasmine can you please get me something to cover myself?” 

Jasmine let out a surprising gasp, “You remembered my name?!  Do you have a name little buggy?”

Still feeling a bit exposed Sam couldn’t help but blush even more, “It’s Samantha.  Now can you please get me something to cover myself up with… Please?”

“Oh, yeah of course,” Jasmine said as she went over to a corner in her room that had a doll house.  She picked up a doll and removed a yellow shirt.  “I don’t know what you’re so embraced about.  I haven’t seen that many buggies that look as good as you do.  In fact I wish I looked like you,” Jasmine said as she handed the clothing to Sam.

“Well, you’re still growing.  I’m sure you’ll turn into a lovely lady when you grow up,” Sam said as she grabbed the shirt and reliazed the size was too large for her size.  She put the yellow shirt and had it hanging down to her knees.  She felt like a kid again wearing one of her dad’s shirts as a night gown.  Well an extremely large shirt was better than no shirt at all.

“Really, you think so?”

Before Sam could answer the child there was a knock on the door.

“Jazzy, we should get going.”

Jasmine gave Sam an excited smile.  “Oh this is going to be fun.  We can all go shopping together.”  She started to reach for the both of them before Sam stop her. 

“Stop!  You can’t move him.  He has an injury.  You could make it worse.  Why don’t you leave without us?”

Jasmine gave her a sour look, “Awww, but I wanted to spend time with my buggies.”

Sam shook her head no.  “You can’t move him, and I won’t leave him by himself.  Why don’t you leave with your parents and when you get back you can spend time with us?”

Jasmine gave her an uncertain look.  “I don’t know… Some of my friends told me that buggies always try to run away.  How do I know you won’t run away when I leave?”  Sam didn’t know what to say but after a few seconds Jasmine gave her a smile, “But I trust you.  I’ll see you when I get back ok?”  With that Jasmine opened her door and then closed the half way before leaving.

Sam could hear fading voices; Jasmine and her mother were walking away from her room.  Sam sat down next Nick and held his head in her lap.  The reality of everything was settling in as she looked around the room.  She was in a typical little girl’s room.  There were dolls scattered around in one corner where she retrieved the shirt for Sam.  The entire room was covered in pink.  The carpet, shades, walls, even the bed was a bright pink.  Sam was going to say that Jasmine loved the color pink.  As Sam inspected the room she sized herself up to be roughly an inch or two high.  Sam went over the event that transpired today to find any answers but only came up with more questions: Why was she small?  Where was she?  Are her parents and friends worried?  Why is this little girl keeping them like pets or toys? 

Time passed by and Sam started to yawn.  It had been about an hour or so since Jasmine left and Nick hadn’t even stirred yet.  Sam prayed that Nick would wake up soon.  Just so she wouldn’t feel so alone right now.  Letting out another yawn Sam felt her eyes starting to close.  Sam shook her head trying to stay awake.  Unfortunately it was useless.  Sam knew she was going to fall asleep soon so she got up and looked for something to use as a pillow.  Spotting a white sock with blue strips, Sam grabbed it and pulled it over to where she was at.  Carefully Sam pulled Nick into the sock and slipped into it the sock like a giant sleeping bag. 

Lying next to Nick she felt comfort just knowing that he was there.  Hopefully he would wake up so they could talk.  She had a lot of question he needed to answer.  Then sleep slowly crept up on her and she fell into a slumber.  As soon as Sam fell asleep there was a soft creaking noise, as something entered the room…

Jasmine got back home slightly later than she wanted too.  She didn’t mind shopping for more school clothes.  The school she went to was a private school for children up from 1st grade to high school.  It had a strict dress code that required students to wear matching clothing and she needed a couple more skirts.  It wasn’t too bad; she got to get ice cream afterward.  Heading to her room she heard her mother call her, “Honey, don’t disappear too long.  We’re about to have dinner.”

“I’m not mom, just putting my clothes away,” Jasmine said as she entered her room and shut the door.  Quickly putting away her new skirts she then headed toward her dresser to talk with her new found buggies. 

“Hope you didn’t miss me too much-” Jasmine gasped as she noticed the buggies were gone!  She quickly went up to her dresser and looked closer.  There was no sign of the Sam or the other buggy.  Jasmine looked everywhere but all she found on her dresser was some clothes that her mom put there this morning and some hair pieces.  Jasmine felt wounded that Sam would leave her even though she said she would spend time with her.  Feeling hurt swell up in her she headed down stairs to go eat with her family. 

“Jazzy what’s wrong?” Her dad asked as he noticed she looked gloomy. 

“Nothing,” She mumbled as she went to go take her seat at the table. 

“It’s not nothing, so tell me what’s the matter.”

Sighing she started to explain, “I thought I left something in my room but now I can’t find it.”

“You misplaced something?  Well don’t worry it will eventually show up again.”

“I doubt it.  I thought I left it on my dresser but now I can’t find it anymore.”

Jasmine’s mother started to set the table and said, “Well honey, I’m sure it didn’t get up and walk away.”

Before Jasmine could comment her dad snapped his fingers, “Oh right, Muffin went into your room today.  Maybe she hid it.  After dinner we can-” Jasmine shot out of her chair and ran into the living room where her cat Muffin usually slept.  She felt dread spread through her as she prayed that Muffin didn’t attack the buggies, but that was the reason her parents bought the cat.  They wanted to keep all rodents out of the house which included buggies.  Jasmine never saw Muffin eat a buggy but that didn’t mean she hasn’t.  Sometimes Jasmine would notice little traces of red on Muffin’s fur but that was usually it.

Jasmine’s parents got up and followed Jasmine out into the family room to look for Muffin.  Jasmine didn’t find Muffin in her usual spot, which was on the couch’s arm rest.  Jasmine looked around the family room until she heard her dad say, “Found her.”

Jasmine turned toward her dad who was looking behind the couch.  Jasmine started to head over there when her mom said, “Oh look dear, Muffin found some buggies.  Good for her.”  Jasmine feared the worse as she headed over to where her parents are at.  She looked behind the couch and gasped.  There was her cat Muffin and in her mouth she had a buggy’s feet sticking out still kicking.  Before Jasmine could tell Muffin to spit it out she flicked her head back and swallowed the buggy whole.  Jasmine could hear the muffled high pitch squeal of a female buggy start to fade as it headed to its final destination.  Muffin licked her lips and then her paws.  Stretching she stood up and meowed before walking away swaying its tail.

“Well, that was entertaining.  Now it’s time for us to have our meal,” Her mother said as she left too.

“Come on sweetie,” Jasmine’s dad said as he headed to the table.  Jasmine didn’t move as she couldn’t believe what just happened.  “Jasmine, the sooner we eat the sooner we can find what you lost.”

“It doesn’t matter… Muffin ate them.”

Her dad stopped when he heard that, “You mean you brought buggies into the house?”

“But dad they were special they could-” Jasmine protested.

“Jasmine!  You know how much your mother and I hate buggies.”

“But dad!”

“No buts young lady,” Jasmine’s mother said.  “You go to your room without dinner tonight to think about what you did.”

“But mom,” Jasmine tried to protest but both her parents pointed her to her room.  Jasmine hung her head as she walked away and went to her room.

When she was gone her mother said to her father, “Do you think that was too harsh?”

“No, she knows the rules, but if it makes you feel better when can bring her some food to her later tonight.”

Jasmine closed her door as she sat on her bed.  She couldn’t believe she forgot about her cat Muffin and it cost her two special buggies.  Pulling her knees up to her chest as she felt hunger hit her.  The ice cream wasn’t going to hold her over all night.  With nothing to do she went to play with her dolls until she got tired.  About an hour later her parents came in and apologized if they were too strict with her.   They gave her some food and tucked her into bed and kissed her good night.  Tomorrow was Friday, the last day of the week for school.  Her science teacher told them she had a special surprise for them tomorrow.  Forgetting about the two buggies that she lost she drifted off to sleep…

Sam rolled over and bumped into something.  Opening her eyes she saw Nick still sleeping next to her.  Blushing at how close he was to her she savored the moment as she looked upon his sleeping face.  He looked so peaceful lost in his dreams.  With the hood of his hoodie down she got a perfect view of his face.  She couldn’t help but look upon his face and recall all the good times they shared together.  Why did they drift apart, she thought.

Looking out the opening of the sock she noticed that sun was raising, signaling that it was the next day.  Sam knew she should probably get up and see if she can get some answers from Jasmine, but she felt too comfortable in the sock with Nick.  Shrugging, Sam decided to spend a little more time in this peaceful heaven. 

A few moments later there was a loud banging noise, like something was slammed shut.  “Mom!  Did you wash my socks?  Never mind I found them!” 

Sam felt her whole world shift as the sock was picked up and sent her tumbling down to the bottom of the sock.  Sam tried to speak but all that came out was a dry yelp as she looked up to see a giant foot about to entire the entrance of the sock.  She was about to be squished by the foot of a little child.

Jasmine woke up a few minutes before her alarm went off.  With a good night’s sleep she completely forgot about the other day and the two buggies.  She quickly turned off her alarm and headed to the kitchen where her mom made her blueberry pancakes.  Sitting down she started to devour the delicious meal.  It didn’t help that she didn’t have much of a dinner last night but her mother made it up with a couple of batches of pancakes.  By the time Jasmine was done she was stuffed beyond belief.  Finished with her meal she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and hair.  After she was done cleaning herself up she went to her room to get dressed.  Jasmine put on one of the skirts that her mother bought for her the other day.  Next was her dress shirt and last but not least her socks.  Normally she would wear any socks, but today she wanted to wear her lucky blue striped socks.   

She couldn’t find them in her sock drawer in her dresser.  Jasmine asked her mother where they were when she spotted one of the socks.  Quickly, so she wouldn’t be late, she grabbed one sock that was by itself and saw the other one next to her pile of clean clothes.  Slipping her right foot in one of the socks she quickly put her left foot in the other sock.  She pulled the socks all the way up and proceeded to walk over to her shoes.  She was about to step down with her left foot when something tickled her foot.  Curious as what it could be she pulled her sock off and shook it to see what was bothering her foot.  To her total surprise she noticed two buggies fall out and land in her hand.

Sam felt the wall of flesh rush over her and fill up all the empty space that used to be her sleeping bag.  Was this how she would die, squished inside of a sock?  Frightful for her life she panicked and started to squirm away from the sol of the foot.  She didn’t move much as she began to panic.  Trying again she tried to call out only to be muffled by the underfoot of Jasmine.  Then she felt a light breeze through the fabric as she felt the foot speed toward the ground where she would meet her end.  Out of pure instinct she tried to crawl away from her doom, but it didn’t matter because there was nowhere to go.  Sure as she would be killed it all stopped.  Next thing she knew the foot was retracted from the sock.  Then her world flipped upside down forcing her to tumble out of the sock with Nick.  They both landed in the hand of Jasmine. 

Looking up she saw the shocked face of Jasmine.  “Sam, but I thought Muffin ate you?  Oh, I’m so glad you’re alright.  What were you doing in my sock?”

Sam looked over to see that Nick was fine.  Never in her life did Sam think that she would be afraid of a little girl, but Jasmine nearly killed her twice with her feet in less than 24 hours.  Sam has never been that close to death in her life until recently meeting Jasmine.  She had to find a way to get away from this death trap waiting to be sprung again.  The next chance she gets she will find a way to get Nick and herself away from Jasmine. 

“It was more comfortable then sleeping on the hard wood.”

Jasmine nodded her head in agreement, “Yeah, I wouldn’t want to sleep on wood either.”

Before Jasmine could say anything else there was a knock on the door, “We need to hurry honey or we will be late.”

“Ok mom!”  Jasmine said as she gave Sam a scowl, “What to do with you two.  I can’t leave you two here or Muffin might get you, but I can’t take you with me…”  She quickly shrugged, “I’ll just have to be very careful.”

Before Sam could protest Jasmine picked both of them up and put them in her front pocket on her dress shirt.  There weren’t any pockets anywhere else and they were just small enough that if they didn’t stand up they wouldn’t be seen by anyone.

Sam heard a door open and felt a moving sensation as Jasmine left her room.  “Jasmine what are you doing?”  Sam asked concern for Nick’s broken arm.

“Shhhh,” Jasmine said in a whisper so only Sam could hear her.  “I can’t leave you here or Muffin might find you.  She likes to eat buggies and I don’t want to lose you again.”  Sam wasn’t claustrophobic but when Jasmine patted the pocket she was in she couldn’t help but feel trapped.  It was like being in the sock all over again.  It only last for a few seconds but the material wrapped around her cutting her off from the rest of the world.  She tried breathing but she couldn’t get any air in her lungs for the split second.  Then the pressure disappeared allowing Sam to get a fresh breath of air.  “Don’t worry I’ll make sure you two will be safe.  Now please be quiet so I don’t get in trouble like yesterday.  I had to go without dinner because my parents found out about you two.”

Sam thought she heard some anger in Jasmine’s voice.  Did she blame her and Nick for not getting dinner and might try to take it out on them?  That just made it one more reason why she needs to find a way out of this situation.  Easy said than done; she was trapped a pocket of a giant child thousands of feet above the ground heading to school a school filled with more giant children.  It was going to be a long day…

Nick groaned as he rubbed his sore head; it felt like it was on fire.  Opening his eyes he was in a white room made of some weird material.  The room was funneled downward toward him with a gap at the top where light could shine in.  In the distance he heard a monotone voice droning on and on about something that he couldn’t really make out.  “Weird room,” Nick muttered as he put his hand on the side of the room only to realize that the room was made of a cotton material.  That’s when it dawned on him where he was, he was in a shirt pocket and the voice was someone talking.

The events of the other day came back to him.  Quickly he looked around and noticed that Sam was on the other side of the pocket sitting with her back to the corner and with her head tilted slightly asleep.  The peaceful look on her face relived Nick to let him know she was fine and by the looks of it having a nice dream. 

Nick began to stretch his arm only to realize that his arm had a little pink makeshift cast made out of a shirt.  Nick took the cast off and looked at his arm.  His arm was completely healed like nothing ever happened.  Flexing his arm Nick noticed that the shirt he was holding belonged to Sam.  Quickly blushing he looked at Sam and held back a laugh.  She looked adorable in a shirt that was way too large for her.  It was a nice thing that she did for him even though he didn’t need the cast; he healed from much worse injuries before.  She may have not known that he could heal but it was a nice thing to give up your only shirt for someone in need. 

Looking around he realized that they weren’t moving meaning that they must be sitting somewhere.  Listening carefully he could hear some words from the monotone voice.  It was a women’s voice and it sounded like it was reading a story.  Ah, we must be in a classroom, Nick thought to himself.  Not wanting to disrupt their giant friend who was taking care of them for now, Nick was going to meditate and get some answers for his questions he had. 

Crossing his legs and closing his eyes he let his powers drift out and find answers…

Sam was woken up by the sound of a bell.  To her complete surprise she saw Nick sitting in front of her with his eyes closed in a meditating looking state

“Nick?”

Nick slowly opened his eyes and gave her a smile, “Well look who’s finally up.”

“Me?”  Sam said offended.  Sam raised her voice, “I’m not the one who was-”

“Shhh,” Jasmine whispered cutting Sam off.

Nick raised his now healed arm, “Thanks for taking care of me.”

Sam gasped at what she saw.  Nick’s arm was completely healed, “How…”

Nick gave her a grin, “I’m a fast healer.”  Sam came over to check his arm.  Sure enough there was no sign that he was ever injured except for the blood stains on his hoodie and the small punctured hole in the sleeve where his bone snapped out.  Nick handed her shirt back, “Sorry that it got dirty.” 

Sam shook her head no, “I don’t care if it got bloodied.  I’m just glad your fine.  How…” she said pointing at his arm.

Nick let out a sigh, “Well I guess that is a good place to start.  I’m not like you.”  He gestured to her, “I can do things that normal people can’t, for example heal really quickly.”

“I saw you fly and … I don’t even know what to call that orb thingy that you did,” Sam said with a frown on her face.  “What exactly…”

“Well,” Nick said taking a deep breath.  “That man you saw, his name was Ralph and we kind of had a disagreement.”

“So you killed him?”  Sam said shocked.

“No!  I mean I didn’t kill him he killed himself.  I didn’t even want to fight but he forced my hand.  The point being he was self-destructive, literally he was going to blew himself up with half the world just to take me out with him.  The only thing I could do was try and prevent that from happening, so I tried to absorb the blast with a new technical I was trying to perfect.  I created a black hole.”

Sam waved her hands around to stop Nick.  “Ok slow down.  What do you mean self-destructed and black hole?  What are you talking about?”

Nick took a deep breath and let out a sigh, “Well-” he was cut off by Sam’s stomach growling. He looked at her as she gave him a sheepish look.

“Sorry.  I haven’t eating anything.”

“Actually, this is a good way for me to explain.  What would you like to eat?”  Nick asked.

“What- I don’t know,” Sam said confused.

“What are you hungry for?”  Nick asked again.

“I- I don’t know… Cereal, ok?”

Nick gave her a grin, “Cocoa Puff sound fine?”

“Yeah, sure.  I don’t know what this has to do-” before she could finish Nick held out hand and a bowl of Cocoa Puffs appeared in his hand along with a spoon.  Sam just gapped at him, “How…”

Nick laughed.  “Here,” he said handing the bowl to her to eat.  She looked at it as if it might grow wings and fly away.  Nick laughed again and picked up a puff and ate it, “See you can eat it.”  Sam hesitated for a moment but then picked up the spoon and tried some.  Sure enough it was a bowl of Cocoa Puffs.

“How did you do this,” She said with a mouth full of Cocoa Puffs.

“You know anything about inner energy, chi, chakra, or anything similar?”

“I do yoga, but what does that have to do with this,” Sam asked as she ate another spoonful of Cocoa Puffs.

“Well, yoga helps you release built up energy in the body.  What I do is similar.  There are many names for it but it’s all the same.  What I do is release the energy in me in the form of strength, speed, or for instances Cocoa Puffs.”

“So does that mean I can do this too?”  Sam said with an interested look on her face.

Nick shook his head no.  “Many people can use their energy to help lift objects; like in times of crisis some people can move immoveable objects, but they won’t be able to fly.  Not many people have that much energy in them.  I’m one of few who have extreme amounts of energy; Ralph was another.”

“Well that explains a little.  So you use your ‘energy’ to do inhuman things.” 

“Yeah,” Nick said with a hint of shame.

“Cool.”

“What,” Nick said confused.

“I said cool, I mean scary but cool.  Well since you made that black hole thingy just make another one and get us out of here.”

“… easier said than done.  You see, this was a mistake.”

“What do you mean,” Sam said confused.  She was afraid of what Nick was going to say next.

“Well… the black hole was supposed to absorb the energy output of the explosion, which it did.  Only problem is that when it absorb the energy that it created a portal which brought us here.  Now for me to make another one I would have to: first make another black hole, which is easier said than done; two generate another massive amount of energy like the explosion that Ralph was making; and finally I really don’t know where it could send us which means I need to find a way to send us back home safely and to the right one.”

“What do you mean the right one,” Sam asked as this nightmare just got better and better.

“Well you know about different dimensions?”  Sam nodded her head, “That’s where we are.  We are in an alternate dimension, one where everything is gigantic.  If I were to skip the third step I could send us to a dimension that has no oxygen or somewhere worse.”

“What’s worse than no oxygen?!”  Sam yelled at him.

Jasmine gave another loud whispered, “SHHHHH.”

“What’s worse than no oxygen?!”  Sam said in an anger whisper.  “Nick I don’t want to be here!  I almost died twice and I really, really don’t want to be around,” She pointed up out of the pocket.  “I have a bad feeling about this place Nick.  Anywhere is better than here… No oxygen sounds better.”

“Samantha,” Nick said using her full name, which he never did when they were kids unless it was very important.  “I have seen things that would terrify you for the rest of your life.  There are things humans aren’t meant to see.  So when I say there are things worse than here then I really do mean it.  Now I swear on my life I will make sure you will not get hurt.  Just give me some time to build up my strength and to get out of here the right way.”

Sam took a deep breath.  “Fine Nick,” she set the empty bowl down which disappeared. 

“Thank you.”

“So how long?”

Nick rubbed his chin as he thought, “Hmmmm, maybe 2-3 days at the most.  The less energy I use the more I save up.”

“Alright.  I can stand 2-3 days of this place.”  There was silence except for the droning sound of the teacher teaching the classroom.  “Are you going to eat something?”

Nick shook his head no, “It’s pointless.”  Sam gave Nick a confused look which he elaborated on, “Since it’s my energy that I’ll be using to make food whatever I eat I would just be gain the same amount of strength that I just used.”  Sam still gave him an even greater scrawl as she didn’t understand.  Laughing, “Ok, think about it like this; if I spend X amount of energy to make some food, then when I eat it I just gain X amount back.  Really it would be pointless.”

“So you don’t eat at all?”

Nick took a deep breath, “I eat food, I just don’t eat food that I make.”

“Oh…?” Sam said leaving it at that still not really getting it.  The whole ‘inner energy’ thing didn’t really make sense to her.  She just wanted to go home and forget about all this.  It wasn’t long until the bell rang again signaling the end of another class.  Sam heard the teacher say not to forget about their homework over the weekend.  The teacher left the classroom and then another teacher came in.  Sam heard the teacher talk.  The teacher was a female teacher and sounded extremely excited.

“Ok class, are you ready for the surprise I told you about yesterday.” 

The entire class shouted, “Yeah!”

“Today I have something special to show you.”  There was some rummaging and then there was a lot of gasping and sounds of excitement.

Nick started to stand up to look over the pocket opening.  Sam grabbed his pants and pulled him back down.  “What are you doing?”

“What?  I’m curious.  Don’t you want to see what they are learning?”

“Not really…”

“Oh come on Sam.  It’s not every day you go to another world and get to learn something about their culture.”  He held out his hand, “Come on, it’ll be fine.”

Hesitant Sam took his hand and felt his gent but firm strength pulled her up to peek over the top of the pocket to see what they were going to learn about today… 

Jasmine’s math teacher passed out the test from the other day.  Jasmine couldn’t help but feel anxious about her test score.  When the teacher came by her seat and set her paper face down she took a deep breath.  Slowly she exhaled as she flipped the paper and looked at her score… 100%!  Jasmine let out a relived sigh as she looked over the paper really quick.  Satisfied she looked over to her right across the room to Annabel and raised her paper up so she could see.  Annabel gave her a half smile and raised her to show her getting a 70%.  Jasmine mouthed sorry to her but Annabel shrugged showing that she really didn’t care what she got.

“Ok students, those who got a low grade can do these make up problems to raise your grade.”  The teacher pointed to the board which a couple of numbers for problems and the pages that they could be found on.  The bell rang right after the teacher said this and wished the students a good weekend. 

As Jasmine’s teacher left the classroom her Science teacher came in.  She was a young adult in her late 20’s.  This was her 2nd year of teaching at this school and was probably her first school she taught at.  Even thought she was a new teacher she knew how to encourage her students to learn and was always extremely nice to the students.  She was one of Jasmine’s favorite teachers.

“Ok class, are you ready for the surprise I told you about yesterday.” 

The entire class shouted, “Yeah!”

“Today I have something special to show you.”  Mrs. Thompson (or Mrs. T, as she like to be called) said.  She pulled out a jar that held 5 buggies in it.  The moment Mrs. T put the jar on the teacher’s desk the entire class started to pay more attention, students started to sit up and lean in closer to get a better look.  Mrs. T then started pull something else out from behind the desk.  What was set on the desk was a glass aquarium that held a lizard in it.  The aquarium was rather large but was the right size for the lizard.  The lizard was about 1-2 feet long and had green scales covering its body.  It sat on top of a rock near the middle of the glass container.  

“Today we will learn about survival of the fittest.  Now class this little guys name is Francis.”  Mrs. started to unscrew the top of the jar that held the buggies and took the top off of the aquarium.  “Now we learned that some animals are called predators and others are prey.  So I thought I would show you examples.  Now can anyone tell me which of these species is the predator and which is the prey?”

“Oh, Oh, I know Mrs. T!”  Annabel shouted waving her hand.

“Yes Annabel?”

“The buggies are the prey and the Francis is the predator,” Annabel said grinning.

“That’s correct.  Now who wants to see how Francis eats?”  The entire class started to shout yes and a couple of the students got out their seats to get a better look.  “Ok calm down everyone.  Can everyone see?  Ok then,” Mrs. T proceeded to pick up the buggies carefully one at a time and place them on the other side of the aquarium from the lizard. 

Jasmine watched with amazement as she saw Francis slowly open its eyes and lock on to one of the buggies.  “This is my favorite part,” Mrs. T said quietly for the class to hear.  The lizard slowly crawled off the rock and proceeded toward the buggies near the other side of the aquarium.  Four of the buggies ran in opposite directions but one stayed where it was at not moving. 

“Why is he just standing there,” One of the students asked.

“That’s a defense mechanism.  It’s trying to not move so the Predator, Francis, won’t go after it.”

The lizard got closer and closer until it was just inches away from the buggy.  The buggy was shaking as it looked at the lizard that started right back with its yellow eyes.  The lizard cocked its head sideways and snapped up the buggy before it could even make a sound.  Some of the student’s laughed, “Stupid buggy.”  The lizard gulped down the buggy in one swallow and quickly turned around to go after its other prey.  It spotted one trying to run to the other side of the aquarium.  The lizard quickly dashed after it and opened its mouth and scooped up the buggy in its mouth and swallowed it whole. 

The class was getting enthusiastic, as the lizard quickly searched around for the other 3 buggies in the glass prison.  It darted out its tongue and turned its head around and saw one of the buggies lying down in the sand.  “Look at the buggy trying to blend in with its surroundings.  Some animals have camouflage to help blend in with the surrounds to confuse its predator.  Unfortunately buggies don’t have this ability.”  No sooner did Mrs. T say this did the lizard dart across the sandy floor and snatch up the buggy and started to chew it up and swallow it. 

With only 2 buggies left they were on the other side of the aquarium trying to climb out.  The walls were too slick for them to climb out and they kept sliding down the walls.  The buggies started cry out in a squeaking noise.  The lizard proceeded to walk toward them not wasting its energy on easy prey.  The buggies continued to squeak and cry as the lizard loomed closer.  Just as the lizard was about to pounce a giant hand came in and picked one of them up.  Once the hand was gone the lizard pounced and quickly devoured the buggy that was left in the aquarium.

The buggy was saved by Mrs. T.  “See class, the weaker animal become food for the strong.  That is the law of nature.  Buggies are nothing but a food source for the bigger creature.”  As she said this she proceeded to dangle the last buggy over her head.  She opened her mouth but held onto the buggy as all eyes were on her.  The entire class was silent as the listen to the noise the buggy was making.  It was squeaking and wiggling in the giantess grip but unable to do anything about it.  Moments went by and just as the class thought that Mrs. T wouldn’t do it, she let go of the buggy and let it fall through the air and straight into her mouth.  She quickly closed her mouth and swished the buggy around in her mouth as she gave the class a big grin.  Some students made sounds of disgust as they watched Mrs. T but most were grinning back at the teacher as they looked at her with admiration.  Mrs. T tilted her head back and swallowed showing the class a small bulge sliding down her throat and disappeared past her chest.  Patting her stomach she let out a sigh of content, “Delicious.  See nothing but food for the bigger animal.  That is how nature works.”

Sam had to keep her mouth covered in fear of shouting something out.  She watched the entire scene in horror as everyone seemed to enjoy it, everyone except for the tiny people that is.  She looked over to Nick who seemed upset.  When the teacher swallowed the tiny person was when Sam couldn’t stand it anymore and broke down.  She fell back down into the pocket and pulled her knees up and started to weep silently.  Nick took one last look around and saw something that horrified him more than the scene he just witnessed. 

Taking a deep breath he too returned to the pocket.  Nick went to Sam’s side and pulled her into an embrace which stop her from crying.  “Shhh, it’s ok.  I promised you I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.”

“Nick… I-I-I I don’t understand why did they do that?  How could they?”

“… What do you think of when you step on an ant?”

Sam looked confused, “What?  I don’t understand?”

“You don’t think of anything do you?  If you kill a bug you don’t stop and think about it you just carry on with what you are doing.  It’s the same with them.  These tiny people they call buggies because, well let’s face it that’s what they are to them.  They are just bugs to these people.”

Sam looked at Nick with horror in her eyes, “So… are we just bugs to them too?”

Nick nodded.  Sam shook her head no.  “But we aren’t bugs!  We’re people too!”

Sam buried her head into her hands as she realized there was no point in arguing with Nick about this.  He wasn’t the one who would want to kill them.  After a short while stopped crying and looked at Nick, “We just have to survive for a little while longer.  Just a couple of days right?”

“…”

“Nick?”

“Well… there might be a problem.”

“What do you mean,” Sam asked dreading what was coming next.

“… How long was I out?”               

Sam shook her head not knowing the answer, “I don’t know… almost a day.  Why?”

“I just saw a clock, its 12 right now.  I have been out for way too long.  I should have been out for a couple of hours not almost an entire day.”

 “I don’t understand, what are you saying?”

“I’m saying something isn’t right.  My powers aren’t returning like they should.  That means my strength won’t return as fast as I thought it would.”

Sam paled, “You mean…”

Nick nodded, “Yeah, it won’t take a couple of days before we can leave, it might be a couple of weeks… maybe even a month or two…”

Nick heard the bell ring signaling the end of class; a student nearby shouted, “Lunch time!”   Most of the students cheered as the teacher told them to settle down and line up alphabetically to head to the cafeteria.  Nick looked to Sam but couldn’t she her face as she kept it tucked up against her knees.  He didn’t know what to say or if he should say anything.  He decided it would be better to not say anything.  Sam had been through a lot in the past 24 hours and just need some time to herself.  The gentle sway told Nick that they must be moving now and heading to the cafeteria for the kids to eat lunch.  In a few quick moments there was the sound of doors opening and he was assaulted by the sound of hundreds of kids shouting. 

He saw Sam jump in surprise but nothing else.  There was the smell of food in the air as his nose was assaulted by the smell of the children’s meals that they were having.  He then heard the sound of metal folding chairs being dragged out from under the tables.  With nothing to do he just listen to the conversations going on around him as he waited for the day to end.

Annabel sat right next to Jasmine as they both pulled out their lunches.  “What do you have for lunch,” she asked as Jasmine looked inside her lunch box. 

“I have a ham sandwich, a banana, a fruit cup, a pudding cup, and apple juice.  What do you have?”

Annabel started to pull her lunch out and name it off, “A slice of pizza from last night, some fruit punch, and some apple sauce, oh and a brownie.  Want to trade something?” 

Jasmine shrugged, “Sure.”  Annabel started to trade some of her food with Jasmine.

“I told you that you would get a better grade on that math test.”  Annabel said as she passed over her brownie for the pudding cup.  “How do you remember it all?”

Jasmine just shrugged again, “I don’t know, I just do.  Maybe you can come over and we can study together.”

Annabel blew a raspberry, “Like I would study.  Nah I rather play then study for some stupid math.  Beside I don’t care what I get as long as it’s not an F.  Hmmm you want to trade juices?”

“Sure.”  When they were finished trading they started to eat their new meal.  As they were eating some other students started to tell stories and funny jokes.  It was a typical lunch for everyone…

Nick listened to the conversation all around him and picked up a few interesting facts.  He was listening to one conversation about some boy who was won a baseball game when he heard a couple of kid’s say, “What do you have there?”  and “Whoa!”  Curious Nick closed his eyes and let his powers paint the picture of what was going on outside of the pocket.  It was like he was normal sized and standing right next to what was going on.  He could see the entire cafeteria and noticed that it had kids of all ages up to their late teens.  He was standing behind a boy who had a container that held a couple of “buggies” and the children around him were all looking at the kid.  The child had a grin on his face as if he were the coolest kid around.

“Are you going to eat them Tommy,” a kid asked Tommy, the one who had the little people in the container.

“Of course, it’s my lunch.”

“Tommy, I’ll trade you my sandwich and my cookies for your buggies.”

Tommy shook his head, “Are you crazy?  I’m not trading them for lunch.”

Another kid said, “I’ll give you a dollar for one.”

Tommy thought about it and said, “Ok, but just one.”  Tommy handed one buggy over to the kid as he gave him a dollar.  The kid didn’t spend anytime tossing the screaming buggy into his mouth and started to chew it up.  After pulverizing the buggy he didn’t swallow but opened his mouth and stuck his tongue out and gave all the kids at the table a view of his meal.  Nick got to see the bloody mess that filled the child’s mouth and stained his front teeth red.  After showing everyone his food he laughed and swallowed the mess and said, “Ahhhh,” showing everyone his magic trick of making his food disappearing.

Tommy shook his head, “You chew your buggies?”

The kid nodded and said, “Yeah, I like the flavor of them when they burst in my mouth.  It’s salty yet tasty.  Why?  How do you eat yours?”

The kid still acting cool said, “I eat them just like Mrs. T.”  Showing his audience, he picked up one of the buggies and tossed it into the air.  Nick got to watch as the female buggy started to cry and flail as she descended through the air and into the open maw of the boy.  The boy wasted no time just swallowing the buggy leaving a slight large bulge to travel down his neck.  The boy looked very pleased at what he did, as he let out a sigh and trailed the buggy down his throat with his finger.  Nick could still hear the squealing and screaming coming from the buggy until the lump disappeared from sight. 

A girl asked Tommy, “What does it feel like?  My sister says it feels weird to swallow them alive.”

“Not really.  You ever swallowed a pill without water?  It’s like that only the pill isn’t moving around and tickling you as it slides down your throat,” He said as he trialed a path down his throat to emphasize what he was saying.  He picked up another buggy and tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it whole again.  The outline of the screaming buggy could be seen as it traveled down Tommy’s throat and into his awaiting stomach.

“Hey Tommy,” A girl asked as she stood behind him.  Tommy turned around and started to blush as he notice the girl.

“Angelica?  Y-Yeah?”  Nick could tell by Tommy’s reaching and the look on his face that he must like Angelica. 

Angelica put on a cute smile and twirled one of her burnet locks that were hanging down from her head.  “I was wondering if I could have a buggy too, please?”

“Of course,” Tommy said handing her a couple of buggies.

“Hey why would you give her some and not me?  I was going to give you my lunch.”

“Because,” Tommy said.  “I don’t feel like eating your bologna sandwich.  Bye Angelica,” Tommy said as Angelica walked away after getting what she wanted.  Nick continued to listen to the conversation that Tommy was having.  “So, you say they taste better if you chew them?”  Tommy held another buggy that was a male this time in front of him.  Tommy gave a look of disapproval at the idea.  Finally Tommy shrugged and bite into the buggy from the feet up to its chest causing the buggy to wail in pain as Tommy’s lips were quickly covered in red.  Toying with the flavor in his mouth Tommy finally swallowed and shrugged, “It’s ok, but I prefer to swallow them whole.”  Not wasting a second Tommy flicked the other half that was still wailing into his mouth and swallowed it whole. 

Seeing enough Nick opened his eyes and came back to the pocket he was sitting in.  He didn’t learn anything except that how dangerous it will be if he or Sam are caught by anyone else.  Letting out a sigh he continued to sit there until he heard a growl coming from Sam’s direction.  Rising an eyebrow he noticed Sam looking up with an ashamed look covering her face.

“Sorry,” She said.

“Don’t be,” Nick held out his hand and a burger appeared in it as he handed it to Sam.

“You should save your energy so we can go home,” Sam said as she hesitated before picking it up.

“Starving yourself won’t help.”  Sam still didn’t eat it, but after a few moments she bite into it.  Nick formed another one and started to eat too.

“I thought you didn’t have to eat,” Sam said frowning.

Nick shrugged his shoulders, “Sometimes it’s better to eat with someone rather than alone.  Beside I want to see if I make good burgers.”  He took another bite and nodded, “Yep.”

Grinning Sam shook her head as she took another bite.  They sat there eating while the endless chatter of the outside world filled the air.  They both finished their burgers and sat there listening to the conversation when Jasmine said something that could be heard over the rest of the noise…

“I can’t believe she would do that,” Jasmine said to Annabel.

“Who?”

“Angelica.  She practical took those buggies form Tommy just because she wanted them.”

Annabel shrugged, “Well when you become the most popular girl in second grade you can do whatever you want.  I heard that her mom paid off the teachers to give her straight A’s.”

Jasmine shook her head at the rumors that she too heard about Angelica.  She didn’t believe it because Angelica was actually smart, but it sounded like something her mom would do.  Angelica happened to be the pretties and smartest girl in her class and wasn’t afraid to remind others about it.  Jasmine tried to stay out of Angelica’s way because she was known to give the other girls who didn’t listen to her a bad time.  Still it irked her to see Angelica manipulate people so easily and not care.  She continued to watch Angelica walk back to her seat and hand over one of the buggies to her friends.  Jasmine couldn’t make out the gender of the buggy but it didn’t matter because in a few seconds it would be dead like the rest of the buggies that Angelica got her hands on.  Jasmine had to look away as Angelica slowly twisted the buggy’s limbs till they snapped off, and then tossed them in her mouth piece by piece until the buggy was limbless.  Angelica than placed the buggy on the table and said something.  Jasmine already knew what it was from seeing this scene before.  She was telling the buggy to run away if it can, and she would let it live.  The buggy tried as best it could but could barely move.   Angelica laughed at the attempt and quickly slammed her hand on top of the buggy, enjoying the squishing sound it made as she splattered the buggy into a red goo.  All the other girls around her started to laugh with her.

“I wish I could get my hands on some buggies right now,” Annabel said.

“Well I have two with me right now,” Jasmine said as Annabel looked at her with shocked.

Nick froze as he heard what Jasmine was saying.  Was she going to hand one of them over to her friend?  Could he trust her friend?  He just saw what happens to buggies and it was not a pretty sight. 

There was a sudden laugh coming from Jasmine’s friend, “Oh, that’s a good one.  You, Mrs. Goody Two Shoes, has two buggies with her right now?  Why would you have buggies?”

Before Jasmine could say anything the bell rang signaling the end of lunch and Nick could hear a bunch of the kids shouting, “Recess!”  There was the sound of chairs sliding on the floor and there was the familiar sway of Jasmine moving.  Jasmine dropped the subject as they went and played on the swings.

The rest of the day was like this morning, the droning sound of teachers teaching a class full of kids wanting to be anywhere but there.  Finally the last bell rang and Jasmine got up to leave for home.  She waited around for Annabel so they could walk home together. 

Annabel was one of last to leave the classroom.  “Finally, are you ready to go home,” Jasmine asked.

Annabel shook her head, “I’m going to wait for my sister.  She said that we were going to go get some food after school.  You’re welcome to come with us.”

This time it was Jasmine’s turn to say no.  “I should head back home.  I want to finish my homework so I don’t have any to do over the weekend.”

Annabel tsked at Jasmine.  “When are you going to learn to take it easy and not worry about school so much?  Whatever, you go have fun doing homework while my big sis and I go have real fun.”  With that Annabel headed to the parking lot to meet her sisters who happen to be a senior in the high school part of the school.  Both Jasmine and Annabel looked up to Annabel’s sister, Tracie.  She was captain of the soccer club and was well liked by everyone.  She also had a couple of private clubs that she formed with the school.  Jasmine really wanted to hang out with both of them but decided she rather get to know her buggies better.  It sounded like the male buggy woke up which means she can get to play with both of them!  Excited she ran home unable to contain her excitement.

By the increased movement Nick could tell that Jasmine was running home.  It wasn’t a gentle sway, like when she walked, instead they were practically being tossed around.  It took a while before both Sam and Nick got use to the new motion.  Nick saw that Sam had a fearful expression on her face.  Worried he asked what was wrong.

“What’s wrong?  We’re being tossed around like rag dolls by a little kid who almost killed us twice in a world where everyone thinks that we are just insects to be toyed with!”

Nick tried to calm her down but she still had a panicked look on her face.  “Sam trust me, I told you I would keep you safe and that’s what I’m going to do.” 

Sam didn’t know why but what Nick said was slightly comforting.  Still she was still frightened at what was to become of them.  There was a loud bang for a door being closed and more face paced footsteps and another bang.  They must be in her room.  No sooner than she thought that did a hand dip into the pocket and retrieved the two of them.  Sam was again placed on Jasmines dresser and got to see her giant grinning face.

“My parents aren’t home so we can play without any disturbance!”  There was no missing the excitement in her voice.  Sam started to breathe faster as she felt dizzy.  She couldn’t help but remember the cries of those helpless people being eaten by that lizard.  Most of all she kept imagining herself being swallowed by Mrs. T.  “So what’s your name,” Jasmine asked Nick.

“My name is Nick;” He said bowing to her, “And what would be your name?”

Jasmine giggled at Nick and curtsied to him, “My name is Jasmine.  It’s nice to meet you.”

“The pleasure is mine,” Nick said continuing to being a gentlemen to Jasmine.  “I would like to thank you for saving our lives the other day.”

“It was no biggie.  I’m just glad I got to you before someone or something else did.  There’s no telling what might have happen to you two.  So I was thinking maybe we can play together before my parents get home,” Jasmine said as she started to reach for the both of them.  Sam took a step back frightened of the enormous hand.  Jasmine hesitated as she noticed Sam backing up.

“Jasmine, I think Sam isn’t feeling too well.  She had a long couple of days and just needs some rest.  Maybe we can play together instead?”

“Ok, I hope you feel better,” Jasmine said as she picked up just Nick.  Sam was relieved that Jasmine didn’t grab her but now she feared for Nick’s safety.  What was going to happen to Nick?  Will Jasmine hurt him? 

Sam watched Jasmine carry Nick over to her corner in the room that had her dolls and other toys.  There she sat down and started to talk to Nick as she pulled a few dolls out.  Sam couldn’t really hear what she was saying but it looked like she was telling Nick about her toys.  In a few moments she started to play with the dolls and she saw Nick was playing along.  It was just like when they were kids and she had her tea party.  It looked odd to see Nick almost three times smaller than the dolls around him playing with the giantess who was chatting away.  What was he thinking, Sam thought as she continued to watch Jasmine put Nick and a doll in a toy car and race them around. 

About an hour or so later Jasmine’s parents were home.  They knocked on the door and told her dinner was almost done.  Jasmine told her parents ok and stopped playing.  She placed Nick back on the dresser and told them both that she would try to get some food for them.  Jasmine left the room and headed to the kitchen.  When she was gone Sam went over to Nick to talk with him.

“Are you ok?”

Nick gave her a look of confusion, “Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Because…”  Sam said drawling it out.

“She isn’t like the others.  I talked with her and she is just a little curious about us.  Apparently buggies can’t talk to them and we can.  She said she didn’t mean to almost hurt you today and wants to apologize.  You don’t have anything to worry about with Jasmine.”

“I don’t know Nick, she may not mean to hurt us on purpose but she might accidently do it.”

 Nick didn’t say anything for a little while.  “If you think we should leave we can, but I think we are safer here than anywhere else.  Besides I can’t protect you from everything out there.  Still if you want…”

Sam didn’t say anything as she thought it over and finally said, “Ok, but you have to tell her to be more careful.”

“I’ll tell her when she gets back.  Maybe tomorrow you will join us for a tea party?”

“I’ll think about it,” Sam said as she waited until Jasmine got back.  “Do mind if I ask you a question?”

“Sure,” Nick said as he sat down with his feet off the edge of the drawer.

“When I saw you playing with her it reminded me of us back when we were kids.  I was wondering what happened between us back then… you know freshmen year.”

Nick sat there letting his feet dangle of the edge as she looked out in the distance.  Sam didn’t think he would say anything until he said, “I’m sorry but I don’t think I should talk about it.”

Sam felt her heart ache at what he said.  “Did I do something wrong?  Was it something I said?  Please Nick you have to tell me what destroyed our friendship.”

“Sorry I can’t tell you.  Believe me when I say, it’s not you it’s me, that I really mean it.  What happened back then is over and should stay that way.”

Sam felt hurt that Nick wouldn’t say anything.  “Fine then let me ask you another question since you didn’t answer my first one.  What’s with the hoodie?”

“This?” Nick asked looking down at his gray hoodie.  “It’s a gift I got from an old friend.  I just feel comfortable in it.  I feel safe I guess you can say.  When I pull up my hood I feel… safe,” Nick laughed at what he said.  “I guess you can call it my safety blanket in a way.  Why?  Do you not like it?”

“No, just thought it was strange that you’re wearing it during the summer.  So it’s your safety blanket?  I find that kind of weird coming from a man who can do just about anything.”

Nick shrugged, “We all have something that we cherish.  Every time I wear it, it reminds me of the one who gave it to me.”  Sam couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous of whoever gave Nick that hoodie.  Whoever it was Nick cared a lot about that person.  “Speaking of clothes,” Nick said pointing at Sam’s enlarged t-shirt, “You want me to get you another shirt?”

Sam remembered that she was wearing a doll shirt.  “I’m fine,” Sam said trying to not betray how she really felt about wearing a giant bed sheet as a shirt.

Nick gave her a look that told her he knew better.  Before she could protest he had a shirt appear in her lap folded up.  It was a simple dark blue t-shirt that surprisingly was her size.  “Should I ask how you know my size,” Sam questioned.

“It was on your other shit that you wrapped my arm in.”

“Oh,” Sam said feeling silly for bring it up.

Nick grinned at her, “Or maybe I’ve been watching you and have figured out all your measurements.”  Nick brought his hands up and pretended to measure her.  Sam couldn’t help but gasp at what he said.  Nick laughed as Sam punched him in the arm.

Sam got up and walked behind Nick. “Don’t turn around you pervert or I’ll push you over,” Sam said as she started to change into a shirt that would fit her.  When she was done changing she sat down next to Nick and looked out the window to see the sun setting.  “Do you really think we can make it?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you just saying that to make me feel better?”

“…”

The door slowly opened and both of them looked to see who it was.  Jasmine entered with a slice of pizza on a plate.  “I snuck this out of the kitchen before my parents noticed.  Tonight was pizza night so I hope you all like pizza.”  Jasmine set the slice down on the desk and both Nick and Sam went over to eat some.  As they ate Jasmine was called out to the family room for movie night with her parents.  She left both of them on the dresser to finish their pizza which was impossible for them to do.  They barely made a dent before they were full.  Feeling full and tired Sam told Nick she was going to turn in now.

She was sleeping on top of a pair of shorts that were folded.  Soon she fell asleep, but Nick stayed up still going over the event that had transpired the past couple of days.  He beat Ralph by using a new technique that he wasn’t sure would work, only to teleport him and Sam into another universe where everyone wants to kill them except for this little girl that almost killed him.  Worse of all he is stuck with Sam, the one girl he always loved but knew that he could never be with…

Jasmine yawned as she walked into her room to find that Nick was still up.  “Hey Nick, I was wondering if you really wanted to have a tea party tomorrow.”

Nick smiled and nodded, “I would be delighted.”

“Really?  Do you think Sam would want to too?”

“I’m not sure, but we can always ask her tomorrow.”

“Ok then, well goodnight,” Jasmine said as she went to bed. 

“Sleep well,” Nick said and waited till he heard her fall asleep.  Getting up Nick went over to Sam and made a blanket for her and covered her up.  Then he went to the edge of the dresser and stood looking down.  He could barely see the bottom of the floor through the pitch dark room.  The drop had to be at least 150 or so feet.  Taking a step off Nick let himself fall through the air.  Right before he would hit the ground he threw his hands out and used his powers to slow his decent down so he landed with ease on the ground.  Nick walked toward the open door way and looked down the hallway.  No lights were on which means that the parents had to be asleep.  Nick decided he better take a look around.  No telling what he might find…

Isaac ran through the tall dark forest with his little sister following behind him.  Isaac was 18 and his sister, Ruth, was 17.  She was crying silently as they sprinted for their lives as they heard the deep laughter of two teenagers behind them.  Isaac didn’t know what happened to the others and assumed the worse.  They were traveling with a small group of people when out of nowhere two teenage boys popped out from behind the trees.  No one moved as each group stared at each other.  Isaac knew what was going to happen next so he turned and grabbed Ruth’s hand and sprinted in the other direction.

Isaac couldn’t see what happened next, but heard it as the rest of the party scattered in different directions screaming followed by the sound of booming footsteps.  Suddenly there was a body that flew overhead in a heap as it landed with a sickening sound.  One of the giants must have kicked one of the others.  There was laughter as there were more cries for help that went unanswered. 

Isaac had been running for what seemed like hours and even then he didn’t feel safe.  Ruth was getting tired but Isaac couldn’t risk taking a break.  For all he knew the giants were right behind him.  Leaving the forest he saw a giant wooden gate in front of him that separated the forest and the houses on the other side.  Isaac then took a break as he leaned up against it to catch his breath.  His little sister started to sob.

“Are they all…?”

“Shhh.  It’s going to be ok.  There’s no way they would follow us here-” Isaac started to say only to hear the laughter come closer.  It wasn’t long before the two kids left the woods and were within sight distance.

One of the teens said, “Check this out.”  He had a tiny in his hands as he pulled a vile out.  “My dad showed me this trick.  You know how he’s a chemist,” he asked as he uncorked the liquid.

“Yeah.” the other said.

“He showed me that when you mix these two together,” he said as he poured another liquid in the vile, “they become unsteady.”  The liquid started to bubble.  The boy quickly tilted the vile up and poured it down a helpless man’s throat.  Most of the liquid covered him but some went down his throat.  The boy opened his palm and the man just stood there scarred as he looked around thinking about running.

“Is that it?  That is so lame-” the other started to say when suddenly the man clutched his stomach and started to shake.  Suddenly he exploded into a bloody mess.  “WHOA, that was awesome!”

“I know!” The other said.

“Ok check this out,” the other said as he held another helpless person in his hand.  He pulled his hand back as if he were going to throw a baseball and swung his hand forward.  Instead of releasing his hand so the object would fly furthest, he held onto the person until his hand was pointed at the ground to let go.  The little person had no time to shout as he smashed into the ground at high speeds.  There was a sold thunk sound and then laughter. 

“Dude that was awesome, come on lets go find those other two, one of them was a girl,” one of them said laughing.

Isaac paled at the mention of his sister.  She let out a yelp at the mere mention of her.  Isaac didn’t want to find out what they had planned as he watched them get closer.  Having no other option available Isaac headed toward the house hoping to find refuge for a little while.  Isaac found a small gap in-between the door frame of a glass sliding door and the house that was just big enough for the two of them to squeeze through.  Once they were inside Isaac looked out back to see the kids come up to the back door too.

Scarred that this might be where they lived Isaac quickly grabbed Ruth’s hand and dragged her deeper into the house.  They found a counter that would block them from view from anyone looking in through the glass door.  Isaac watched with a racing heart and saw the kids looking in through the door.  It felt like eternity passed as Isaac waited for them to open the door.  Both kids kept looking and eventually shrugged and moved on.  Isaac let out a sigh as they were finally safe.  He slowly turned around to see a horrific sight in front of him.

His sister stood perfectly still as she was being stared down by a cat that was looking very hungry at her. 

“Ruth,” Isaac said softly so not to cause the cat to attack.  “When I say now I want you to run for the door we just came from.”

“O-o-ok…” she said frightened.

Isaac swallowed his fear as he knew there was only one thing he could do to save his sister.  “NOW,” He shouted as he dashed forward and started to yell at the cat.  His sister ran for the door but soon stopped as she realized what her brother was doing.  He was trying to get the cat to attack him instead of her.  It worked.  The cat focused on the new target charging at it.  The cat got into pouncing position and jumped forward with its mouth wide open.  In the dim light Isaac could see the cat’s throat pulsate as it opened wider for its prey.  Isaac prayed that his sister got away safely as the cat was upon him.  Isaac closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable.

“Stop Muffins,” growled a voice that caused the cat to stop.  Isaac opened his eyes to see the cat stop just inches away.  “Good girl,” Said a tiny man in a gray hoodie.  He walked up to the cat and petted the cat on the nose and started to rub its head.  Isaac stared dumbfounded at the newcomer and didn’t know what to say.

Nick barely made it in time before Muffins swallowed a buggy.  After saving the buggy and rewarding the cat for listen he turned toward the buggy.  There was another one hiding behind the counter peeking from around the corner.  “Hello there,” Nick said greeting them.  The male buggy just looked at him while the female one ran up to him and gave him a big hug. 

“Thank you so much,” she practically wept.

 “How… who are you,” the male buggy asked. 

“My names Nick, and you two would be?”

“Isaac,” the male introduced, “and she would be my sister, Ruth.”

“Well it’s nice to meet you two.  You both look hungry and tired.”  They both nodded.  “Well come with me and I’ll see if I can take care of it.”  Nick lead them back to Jasmine’s room to get them some pizza and a safe place to sleep…

Sam slowly opened her eyes.  She couldn’t remember when she fell asleep but just remembers falling asleep without a blanket and now she had one.  It took a moment to realize that Nick must have made one for her.  Shaking her head at how much he has done for her so far, yet she couldn’t help but feel upset that he was wasting his strength on her and not saving it up to get them home.  That’s when she realized that Nick wasn’t sleeping near her.  Getting up she went to go look for him.  It didn’t take her long to find him considering there weren’t many places that he could be.  Nick was on the far side of the dresser sitting like he was last night with his feet hanging off the edge.  What shocked her was the fact that there were two other people sleeping near him covered in blankets.  She walked over toward Nick to ask who the two others were, when Nick turned around when she got close. 

Sam gasped as she looked at Nick, he looked dead tired.  “Nick, what happened?  Why do you look so tired?  Who are those two?”

“Sam, you won’t believe what I found out,” Nick said as Sam sat down near him.  “Those two would happen to be Isaac and Ruth.  I found them last night when Muffins tried to eat them.”

“Wait, why did you name them Isaac and Ruth,” Sam asked.

Nick grinned at her, “I didn’t … they told me their names.”

“I thought buggies couldn’t talk?”

“Me either.  So after saving them I told them they should get some rest but the question you just asked was stuck in my head so I decided to dig for some answers.”

“How,” Sam asked now wondering what Nick found out.

“Well I used my powers to search for the answer.”

Sam gave him a scowl at his words. “You mean you used the strength that we need to get home to discover why you can understand the buggies,” Sam said with anger building in her voice.  “How much energy do you have left?”  Nick had to look away trying to avoid the question.  “Nick you’re supposed to be saving your energy to get us home not finding out why they can talk to you.”

“But if I can find out why they can talk maybe I can find a way to help them and save them from this fate,” Nick said wave his hand around to emphasize what he meant.  “To live their lives in fear of what might happen around the next corner; no one should live like that.  Not to mention if I can help them that would also make us safe and allow me to save my energy up to get us home.”

“Nick look,” Sam said waiting until Nick turned to look at her.  “How long do you think that will take?  I’m sorry but I don’t want to be here that long, and even if we were going to stay it’s impossible to save them all.”

Nick didn’t say anything as he let that settle in.  She was right, he should be focusing on getting them home not trying to help a bunch of people he will never see again.  Even so, it still didn’t feel right to do nothing while innocent people died around him.  If he couldn’t help all of them, then he would help those that were near him… starting with Isaac and Ruth.

Sam let out a sigh as Nick stayed silent for a little too long.  “Ok, why can they talk to you?”

Nick looked at her slightly surprise that she asked.  “Well not just me, if I’m right you too.”

Sam looked shocked, “Me?  Why?”

“Let me explain.  Many years ago, like longer than when the dinosaurs were around for our home, the giant people were the same size as the buggies while everything else was gigantic.  Over the years there were some people who started to get bigger over generations.  Eventually they evolved into giants that towered over its predators.  Sadly not all of the buggies grew and they stayed small.  Eventually the buggies were forgotten as ancestors by the giants and were treated more like bugs.  Over the many years that followed, the giants weren’t able to hear what the buggies say because they either adapted to ignore what the buggies say unconsciously or as they grew they lost the ability to hear it.” 

“So when they talk they are either ignored or can’t hear them?”

“Exactly, like how people can’t hear some animals communicate like bats because of the frequency they use to communicate with.  We can hear the buggies because we aren’t from this world and it’s the same reason we can be heard.  Yet the buggies understand everything that is being said to them.  Either they adapted to understand or they always understood. ”

Sam sat there letting it sink in.  “… You were up all night weren’t you?  You should get some sleep,” Sam said concerned about him.

Nick shook his head, “I promised Jasmine I would go to her tea party.  She would love it if you could join us.”

“I-I don’t know Nick.  I still feel uneasy around her, maybe if she were older than just a child...”  Nick started to shake his head at Sam.  “What,” Sam asked.

“Jasmine told me that the adults act the same if not worse than the children do with buggies.”

Sam let out a frustrated sigh, “Great, so everyone and everything wants to kill us even the responsible adults.”

Suddenly there was a knock on the door that startled everyone except Jasmine who was still sleeping.  The door knob started to turn and the door opened.  Nick looked around and saw that there wasn’t enough time to find cover.  Out of options Nick stood up and threw his hands out, he concentrated with all his might and quickly turned him, Sam, Isaac, and Ruth invisible.  Immediately Nick regretted it as his powers were already at the bear minimum.   His head started to spin and he felt his body grow weaker, but still he did his best to keep it up.  If he didn’t there was no telling what Jasmine parents would do if they found them…

“Jasmine, honey, time to get up;” Jasmine’s mother said as she entered the room to see if she was up yet. 

Jasmine turned in her bed a couple of times before she sat up.  She was in her pink pajamas, her hair was messy from her long slumber, and her eyes were still closed.  “I made eggs and bacon.”

At the mention of food Jasmines eyes shot open.  Quickly she got out of bed and headed for the kitchen.

“Whoa slow down there sweetie, I’m sure the food isn’t going anywhere,” Jasmine’s mom said as she followed.  Suddenly she stopped and turned around as she saw something catch her attention out of the corner of her eye.  There was a quick glimpse of what she swore was a group of buggies on Jasmine’s dresser.  She walked up to the dresser and searched it to see if her eyes were deceiving her.  She could have sworn she saw something.  After a short while she shrugged and turned around.  She let out a sigh of disgust as she found some old school clothes on the floor.  “Jasmine, what did I tell you about cleaning your room up.”

“Sorry mom I’ll do it after breakfast.”

Rolling her eyes she started to pick up after her daughter.  It didn’t take too long, just a couple of minutes to put some clothes away and put her school supplies on her desk.  Taking one more look around she let out a satisfied humph and walked away.

Sam held her breath as she noticed Jasmine’s mom staring right at her.  She held her breath as she kept looking right at them but didn’t notice them.  Sam looked to Nick to see his tired face concentrating.  Sam had to cover her mouth as she noticed Nick starting to sweat profusely and a small river of blood started to run from his nose.  Then Jasmine’s mom started to leave only to stop.

“Jasmine, what did I tell you about cleaning your room up,” She called out to her daughter.

Sam kept looking at Nick, who was still doing whatever he was doing that kept them from being seen.  Soon she would leave, Sam prayed but sadly she didn’t.  She started to clean up the room.  Nick feel to his knees as his nose started to run with more blood and his face was turning pale.  Sam didn’t know how much longer he could hold out.  Finally after what seemed like forever, Jasmine’s mother left.  Nick let out a wheezing breath as he let his arms fall down.  No sooner did he do that he started to fall forward.  Sam barely had time to catch him before he hit the ground.

“Nick?  Nick are you ok?  Please say something!”  Sam cried as she didn’t get a response from him.

“…I … just need …. Sleep….” He said tiredly as he closed his eyes.  Sam brought over her blanket and covered Nick up with it.

“Is… he going to be ok,” Ruth asked.

“I- I really don’t know.  I think he will be.  His breathing is normal and color is returning to his face, so yeah I think he should be fine,” Sam said slightly relived.  Still she didn’t know for sure.  “By the way my name is Sam.”

“Ruth,” She said.

“Isaac,” the other said.

No sooner did they say that did Jasmine come into the room.

“Sam, Nick, I got some food from breakfast-” she stopped the moment she saw Ruth and Isaac.  “Oh cool, more buggies!”  She quickly went up to the dresser and looked at them.  Isaac held Ruth behind him as she started to back up slowly afraid of Jasmine.  “Oh, don’t be scarred.  I won’t hurt you.”

Sam was still looking after Nick but said, “They won’t believe you.  Do you know how many times they might have heard that?”

Jasmine let out a disappointed sigh, “Your right, what happened to Nick?”

Sam did her best to hold her anger back at how ignorant Jasmine was of Nick.  “Your mom came in this morning and almost caught us.  Thanks to Nick she didn’t see us, but as you can see he nearly killed himself helping us.”

“Is there anything I can do,” Jasmine said with sincerity in her voice.  This helped calm Sam down as she realized it wasn’t Jasmine’s fault, well maybe but at least she was trying to help.

“I need you to dip that shirt,” She pointed to the large doll shirt she was wearing the other day, “Into some water and bring it to me.”  Jasmine did as Sam instructed.  When Sam got the shirt she used it to clean up Nick’s face.  When she was finished, there wasn’t any blood on him or sweat.

“He just needs some sleep.  He had a long night saving these two,” Sam pointed to Ruth and Isaac.  “Your cat almost got them last night.”

“Isaac, I’m scared,” Ruth said when Jasmine looked toward them.

“Don’t worry Ruth, Jasmine won’t hurt you,” Sam said trying to calm her.

“Oh, Sam, can you introduce me to them,” Jasmine said excitingly.

Sam didn’t know what to say but looked at Isaac and Ruth.  “Uh, I don’t think they are ready to get to know you.”

“Oh,” Jasmine said disappointedly.  “Well do you want to have some tea with me,” Jasmine asked pleadingly. 

“No, not really,” Sam said honestly.  Jasmine looked saddened at the news.

“Oh, well ok, I guess I can always have tea by myself,” She said as she walked away gloomily. 

Sam didn’t want to but she couldn’t help but feel regretful toward Jasmine.  Taking a deep breath she was going to do what her instinct told her not to do, “Uh, wait Jasmine… Maybe… maybe some tea would be nice right now.”  She hopped that she can trust her like Nick does.

“Really?!  I mean you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but if you say so,” Jasmine said already picking up Sam.  Sam was taken back at the sudden joy Jasmine was showing.  She quickly told Ruth and Isaac to watch Nick, but wasn’t sure they heard her as she was carried away.  Sam was carried into the bathroom as Jasmine set her down on the sink.  “I’ll be right back, I need to change and set up the table, the food, tea…” Jasmine said as she started to walk away still excited.  Sam was left all alone in the bathroom with nothing to do but wait for Jasmine to return.  As time went by she debated if she did the right thing.  Eventually Sam was starting to doubt herself as the clock kept ticking and there was no sign of Jasmine. 

Sam thought the worse: Was Jasmine deceiving her to get to Isaac and Ruth?  What about Nick?  What if her parents walk into the bathroom?  Sam started to pace back and forth when finally Jasmine came back into view.  She was wearing a white princess dress covered in glitter and smiling. 

“Sorry, the tea took longer to make then I thought,” Jasmine said as she picked up Sam.  “I can’t wait to show you what food we have,” she said giddily.  Jasmine made it to the kitchen and looked around and saw her parents were done helping make the tea.  Quickly Jasmine grabbed a teddy bear she left on the floor and held it in her hand to block Sam from her parent’s view.  Jasmine headed outside where there was a table set up with the food.  Carefully Jasmine set the bear down in a seat and pushed it up to the table.  She put the arms out and placed Sam on the bear’s arm. 

Sam realized how clever Jasmine was.  Not only did the bear allow her to hide but also could be used as a bridge to the table and back to safety.  Sam had new respect for Jasmine as she looked up in shook and saw Jasmine wink at her.  No sooner did that happen did the sound of a door sliding caused Sam to hid behind the bear so no one would see her unless they moved the bear.

“Her you go sweetie,” Sam heard Jasmine’s mother say as the sound of a tea kettle being set down.  “Be very careful it’s hot.”

“I will mom.”

“So who do we have here,” Jasmine’s mom said as she grew closer to the bear.  Sam felt her heart speed up.  Was she discovered?  Sam looked around the head of the bear to see Jasmine’s mom reaching for the bear.

“Mom, Sir Fredric doesn’t like to be touched,” Jasmine quickly said.

Jasmine’s mom smiled and pulled her hand back, “Oh, forgive me sir, I didn’t know.  You two have fun,” she said as she left to go inside.  Sam waited until she heard the door close and let out a relived breath.

“You can come out now she’s gone,” Jasmine said.  Sam slowly came out from behind the bear and looked around.  She was right no one was there except for the both of them.  There was a fence that prevented anyone from looking in and there was a clear view through the sliding door to see who was coming out. 

“Thank you, for saving me.” Sam said feeling slightly safer with Jasmine then before.

Sam went to the table and stood at one of the plates and cups.  Next to the giant cup, that was larger than she herself, was a small tiny cup and plate.  She picked it up and saw it was a toy plastic cup for a small doll.  Wow, she thought of everything, Sam thought as she noticed that now she would be able to have tea too.  Even though the cup was large it was easier to use than a giant tea cup. Looking around she saw the table was covered in sweets: Cakes, cookies, cupcakes, little pastries, and other goodies for them to enjoy.

Jasmine put some tea in Sam’s cup.  “Nick told me that you two aren’t from here.  Do you have cake from where you’re from?  It’s really good,” Jasmine said as she started to cut a small sliver off for Sam.

“Uh, yeah, just not as big as this,” Sam said as Jasmine placed the sliver to her, but at least 3 helpings of cake to Sam on the plate.  Jasmine then proceeded to pour a little amount of tea into the cup.

“Do you want some sugar,” Jasmine asked as she brought up a small cup with a spoon in it.

“Yes, please.  Just a spoonful,” Sam said.  Jasmine then scooped up a spoonful of sugar and dropped it into the cup.  Sam felt stupid as she realized what she just said.  A spoonful may have been fine normal size but now she had a least 2 or more serving cups worth of sugar in her tea, which is a tad bit too much for her liking.  Sam took a look at her tea and decided she wasn’t thirst, but not wanting to upset Jasmine Sam put the cup to her mouth and pretended to take a sip.  “Mmmm, you make good tea.”

Jasmine took a sip of her tea too.  “Thank you.  I was wondering what it is like where you’re from.”

Sam picked up a handful of cake and tasted it.  She expected it to be different in some way but it was like any other cake back home.  She was still surprised at how much this world was like her own.  “Well it’s exactly like this world only we don’t have tiny people.”

“Really?  So you don’t have buggies where you live?”

Sam shook her head no, “We have bugs but not tiny people the size of bugs.”

“So you all have soccer there?”  Sam nodded.  “What about baseball?  How about video games?  Barbie’s?  Oh how about…” Jasmine kept listing more and more stuff that Sam kept nodding to.  Finally Jasmine stopped and started to think really hard.  Sam had to laugh at Jasmine’s curiosity.  Sure it was slightly annoying for her to keep asking but Sam found it slightly amusing.  “Oh, what about SpongeBob Square Pants?”  Sam paused as she thought about SpongeBob.  Was it exactly the same or some weird alteration to it? 

“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea…” Sam started to sing.

“No way, that’s amazing,” Jasmine said stunned.  Nick wasn’t joking about the similar universe that they were in.  Apparently everything was the same.  Sam was about to ask Jasmine a question when she noticed Jasmine’s smile fade.  “Quick someone is coming,” Jasmine warned Sam.  Quickly Sam ran behind the teddy bear when the sound of the sliding door opened and closed.

“You’re having a tea party without me?” said a familiar voice.

“A-Annabel, what are you doing here,” Jasmine asked.  Sam didn’t move as the two giants started to talk…

“I was bored so I dropped by,” Annabel said as she went to take a seat right across from Sam.  Luckily Annabel didn’t find that Jasmine having a teddy bear as company was wired.  “Why didn’t you call and tell me you were having a tea party?  You know I love tea parties.”

Jasmine gave her a knowing look.  “Because last time I invited you, you started a tea fight.”

Annabel shrugged, “It was fun though.”

“It was until you dumped tea over my dress.  My parents thought I spilt it on myself.  You’re lucky I didn’t tell them what you did.”

Annabel gave her a smile, “And that’s why you’re my best friend.”

“Was there something you wanted?”  Jasmine asked trying not to sound too pushy.  If Jasmine pushed Annabel into leaving she might suspect something is going on, and when Annabel suspects something she sinks her teeth into it… hard.  She won’t give up until she is satisfied that she got what she was looking for. 

Annabel gave her a pouty face, “I’m bored!!!  Please let’s go play or something.”

“I’m busy having tea with Mr. Fluffy.”

Annabel glared over to Mr. Fluffy.  Getting up out of her chair she started to walk over to Mr. Fluffy…

Sam held her breath as Annabel stormed over to the bear.  What was she going to do?  Suddenly the bear was being pushed back into the seat by a strong force.  Sam hung onto the bear as she was being crushed into the back of the seat.

Sam felt the pressure of the bear pushing her into the chair easy off.  She heard Annabel say something and suddenly she was jolted off the bear as the bear went tumbling through the air.  Sam landed in the seat of the chair in plain sight, right behind Annabel.  Sam froze as at any moment she could turn around and could easily spot her…

Jasmine watched in fear as Annabel poked the bear in the chest really hard.

“Thanks to you, Jazzy won’t play with me.  You better watch yourself Mr. Fluffy.  Stealing my friends is a no no.  I’m watching you,” She said as she narrowed her eyes at the bear.  She then knocked the bear out of the chair and laughed.

“Annabel!  Stop, that’s not funny.”  Jasmine said hurrying over to the bear to see if Sam was ok.

“What,” Annabel asked innocently.  “It was just a joke.”

“So?  It was a gift.  I don’t want you breaking it.”  Jasmine quickly looked to see where Sam was.

“Sorry, gosh, I didn’t think you cared that much.”

“Just go away,” Jasmine said as she picked up the bear and started to look for Sam on the bear.

“Fine,” Annabel said angrily and stormed away.  When she was gone Jasmine looked for Sam more closely on the bear only to find that she wasn’t on the bear at all. 

“Sam?  Sam where are you,” Jasmine called out.

“Over here,” Sam said.

Jasmine looked up and saw Sam in the chair.  She let out a sigh of relief, “Thank goodness I thought you were lost.  I’m sorry about her; she sometimes demands all the attention.  I think it’s because everyone looks up to her sister and barely notices her.  I just hope she isn’t too mad at me.”

Sam paused to look at Jasmine as she put the bear back in the chair and helped her back up the bear.  Jasmine was very smart for a girl her age.  Not only that, she’s also very kind hearted to still think about her friend after what she did.  Sam realized that maybe Nick was right, Jasmine could be trusted. 

With Annabel gone, Jasmine and Sam continued their tea party for a little while longer.  They finished right before lunch.  Jasmine returned Sam back to her room, where Sam checked on Nick.  He was doing much better and looked to be recovering very quickly.  Both Isaac and Ruth were fine.  Sam tried to talk with them but they seemed a little unsure about her, as if she were a traitor or something…

Annabel stormed inside Jasmine’s house after being told to leave.  She couldn’t believe how Jasmine acted.  She was just playing a joke.  She didn’t have to be a stuck up snob about it.  Annabel was almost out of the house when she paused.  Maybe she was out of hand.  Annabel was debating whether to turn around and apologies to Jasmine or to go home and find something to do when she came to a conclusion.  She was out of hand.  Swallowing her pride she went to go fix their friendship.  Annabel went to the sliding door was about to open it when she noticed Jasmine putting the bear back in place with her back to the door.  Jasmine moved slightly and Annabel saw her… a buggy!  Stunned Annabel didn’t think and hid her self behind the counter top and peered over.  No Way! She has a buggy!  Little Mrs. Goodie Two Shoes has a buggy and is having tea with it!  Annabel thought as she continued to watch Jasmine and the buggy have tea.  Wait… she said she had two buggies.  Annabel grinned as she came up with a plan for the both of them to enjoy themselves… but not today.  Since Jasmine didn’t seem to be intending to eat the buggy or squish it, Annabel had time to put her plan in motion. 

Getting up but staying hidden she headed to the front door to leave.  She couldn’t wait to put her plan into action.  Then she and Jasmine would be able to have tons and tons of fun with her little friends…

Nick woke up with a painful throbbing sensation in his head, shrouded in total darkness.  It took Nick a while to realize where he was.  He just woke up after passing out from over using his powers.  Looking around he saw that Jasmine was already asleep along with Isaac and Ruth.  They both were sleeping close to him as if their lives depended on it… which was sadly true.  Feeling the need to walk off his headache Nick got up after removing the blanket around him.  Blanket?   Nick didn’t remember making a blanket for himself.  Looking further away from where he was, he saw Sam lying by herself with nothing to keep her warm in the cool night air. 

Again she sacrificed something for him to help him in his time of need.  Carrying the blanket over to Sam to cover her, he placed it over her to help her stay warm.  When Nick placed the blanket over Sam he turned to walk away so not disturbed her in her slumber, but Sam slowly opened her eyes.

“Nick?” Sam said in a tired voice.  “Nick you’re up.  Are you feeling ok,” she asked starting to sit up.

“Yeah, I just wanted to thank you for taking care of me again.”

Sam shook her head, “No, thank you for saving us.  But please don’t hurt yourself to save us.”

Nick gave her a serious look, “I swore I would keep you safe, even if it kills me.  I will not let anything hurt you.”

Sam didn’t know what to say.  She knew for a fact that he meant what he said.  If it came down to it she was sure he would give his life to protect her.  That scarred her.  Knowing how dangerous it is here, she was sure that this incident will not be the last or the worse. 

Nick sat down near Sam as they were silent in the dead of night.  Finally Nick broke the silence, “So why are you…” he started.

“Over here?” She finished.

“Yeah.”

“Ruth and Isaac won’t talk to me, look at me, or even listen.  I don’t think they trust me.”

“Why,” Nick asked puzzled.

“Well, I think it has to do with Jasmine and her tea party.”

Nick let out a groan, “That’s right.  I missed the tea party.  I feel so bad now that she had no one to have tea with.”

“Actually,” Sam said causing Nick to look at her.  “That’s the reason they don’t trust me, I went to the tea party.”

“Really,” Nick asked surprised. 

Sam nodded, “Jasmine just looked so upset after hearing that you couldn’t make it so I said I would go.  At first I was skeptical of Jasmine but after getting to know her better… I feel more comfortable around her now.  She’s really smart and caring.  I feel like a jerk for thinking badly of her before I really got to know her.”

Nick nodded, “Yeah I figured you would like her when you got to know her better.”

Sam gave him a questioning look, “But how did you know we could trust her?  I mean before you didn’t seem to worry that she might, you know, kill us or something.  Did you know you could stop her or what?”

“No, if she wanted she could have killed us and there wouldn’t be anything I could have done, but I knew she wouldn’t.”

Sam pressed harder, “But how?  Can you see the future or were you guessing?”

Nick let out a sigh, “Because I could feel that she wouldn’t hurt us on purpose.  Look, everyone has a natural aura they produce.  She had the same aura that you have, and you are not an evil person who would kill.  Most of the other kids that Jasmine goes to school with have a darker aura to them then she does.  That’s why I know for a fact that she is our safest bet.”

Sam thought it over for a little bit.  “Well, it would have been nice to know this yesterday.”

“Yeah, sorry about that, I figured you wouldn’t believe me unless you found out yourself.  I know how you are; you would have to find out yourself before you would take anyone’s word for it.”

Sam laughed, “Yeah your right, I wouldn’t have believed you.”  Again there was an awkward silence as they sat there.  Jasmine turned over in her sleep and mumbled something. 

“We should probable get some sleep,” Sam said. 

“We should,” Nick said as he was about to stand up and give her some space to sleep.  Before he got up Sam wrapped the blanket around the both of them.  “Umm,” Nick said unable to say anything as he and Sam were snug up against each other.

“I j-just thought … you know, I have a blanket and you might want to share one instead of making one,” Sam said slightly embarrassed.

“That’s very thoughtful, but I don’t need one,” He said as he started to get out of the blanket.

“Wait Nick,” Sam said causing Nick to freeze.  “Please… why are you being so distant from me?”

“I…” Nick started but stopped.  She was right; he was trying to be distant from her.  It wasn’t because she wasn’t his type, far from it.  He loved her more than she knew, but he couldn’t have her love him.  He always wanted Sam to live a normal happy life, and he was far from normal.  One of the reasons was what was going on now, he was afraid of putting Sam in danger which is exactly where she is now.  It was why he had to distance himself from others to prevent this exact scenario from occurring.  If Sam were to be injured or worse… well he would never forgive himself.

“Nick, please, tell me,” Sam pleaded.

Nick let out a sigh, “You should get some sleep,” He said as he stood up.  “Goodnight Sam.”

Hurt beyond belief Sam watched Nick walk away.  Feeling tears well up she closed her eyes and curled into a ball as she silently cried herself to sleep.

Nick didn’t need to sleep; he just had to get away.  Nick sat on the hard wood of Jasmines’ dresser as he heard Sam silently cry herself to sleep.  He should choke himself for being such an ass, but deep down he knew it was for the best.  If he got too close to Sam and she found out who he really was underneath the mask he wore she would reject him and break his heart.  It would be better for the both of them if he didn’t get too close to her, besides she won’t remember any of this.  When they get back he would wipe her memory of what transpired here and she will forget all about him.  Just like last time…

Isaac woke up to the sound of the giant girl named Jasmine rolling out of bed.  Isaac woke Ruth up and got ready to run if the girl came for them.  Instead of heading to them she went out of the bedroom to go get some food.  Isaac felt relieved that she didn’t decided to eat them for breakfast.  Looking around he noticed where the others were at.  Nick was sitting with his feet dangling off the dresser as he looked out the window lost in his thoughts.  Isaac was grateful for his help saving them twice but there was something odd about him.  The other, Sam as he recalled, was still asleep.  Isaac really didn’t trust that one.  Isaac never heard of giants befriending buggies unless they were their own personal playthings.  Isaac would sooner die then become this little girl’s plaything.  He didn’t know why he decided to stay here, but it was time to go.  He had to find a way out of here before he or his sister were put in harm’s way.  Telling Ruth to stay put he got up and started to look for a way to get down from this cage.  After a couple minutes of searching he found that there was no way down.  Now that he thought about it how did he get up here?  That’s when it came back to him, Nick.  That night they walked into the dark room and … next thing he remembered they were instantly up on the dresser.  Who was he?  No, what was he?

Having no other option he had to ask Nick for his help.  Walking over to him he was about to say something when Nick beat him to the punch.  “You want to get down from here.”

“Umm, yeah,” Isaac said.

Not turning around he continued to look out the window and said, “Alright, but not right now.  If you want to leave I’ll help you tonight but not in the morning when you can be spotted by Jasmine’s parents.  It’s for your safety and Sam’s.”

Isaac wanted to argue but Nick was right.  Besides they usually traveled at night anyway to avoid being spotted.  With nothing better to do Isaac went over to Ruth to tell her the plan; shortly afterwards Jasmine came in with some food for them. 

He watched as Sam woke up and ate some food.  Nick didn’t move as he stayed where he was.  Jasmine seemed to be talking with Sam as she finished eating.  Isaac decided to grab some food and then avoid those two till night and get out of here. 

Nick continued to look out the window as he noticed how beautiful it was outside.  It usually helped him relax but it wasn’t helping now.  Nick didn’t get any sleep last night, not that it mattered he hadn’t slept in a bed in a long time.  The only time he slept was when he was hurt or when he passed out from exhaustion, like the other day.  Like eating, he just used his powers to keep himself from being sleepy.  But this wasn’t why he felt uneasy.  No he had this feeling since last night when he was practicing his fighting technics while everyone slept.  He had a weird gut feeling that something bad was about to happen, and when his gut warned him that something bad would happen he listened.  Trying to find out what was amiss, he used his powers to search for anything but found nothing.  Unable to determine what might be setting him on edge he tried calming himself down by taking in the beauty of nature.  It helped for a little bit but the feeling was still with him.

Suddenly Nick was distracted by Jasmine; “You feeling better?”

Shaken out of his thoughts Nick said, “I do, thank you for asking.”  Not being able to tell what was the problem he decided to move on.  “Sorry about the other day.”

Jasmine blew a raspberry, “Don’t worry about it.  In fact it was fun with Sam.”  Nick looked to where Sam was.  She caught him looking and immediately looked away.  Nick knew she was mad at him from the other night.  He didn’t want her to hate him, just no to get too attached to him.  “So I was wondering if you would like to go with a walk with me Sam and if the others would like to come?”  At the mention of this Sam turned around upset that he was invited.  Isaac and Ruth both looked scarred.

Knowing that it would be awkward to be with Sam, Nick decided to dodge out of it.  Putting his hand to his head he started to act like he had a massive headache.  “I would love to, but sadly my head is still hurting.  I think you should just go without me.”

“I thought you said you were feeling better?”  Jasmine questioned.

“I was but I’m still feeling a little lightheaded.  I’m sure it will be gone when you get back.”  Jasmine finally took the excuse and got ready to leave with Sam.  Jasmine had to put her shoes on and picked Sam up and placed her inside her pocket and left the room.   With nothing else to do, Nick decided to relax-

“Do you really trust her?” Isaac asked Nick as he stood behind him.

Turning around Nick answered, “Of course.  Why wouldn’t I trust Jasmine?”

Isaac scoffed at him.  “I’m grateful that you saved us from that cat the other day, but we are in no better position than back then.  That girl, Jasmine, is like the rest of them, she will soon show her true colors.  I just thought warning you was the least I could do.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.  I may not know much about the life you lived or what you have been through, but I know good people when I meet them.  Jasmine is one of those people.”

“They’re not people!  I have seen them do horrible things; I have lost my entire family except for Ruth!  We may be smaller than them but that doesn’t mean we aren’t people,” Isaac shouted.  He took a couple of deep breathes then said, “I’m sorry.  I … I won’t risk losing my sister.  You may trust her, but I won’t, no I can’t trust her.  For the sake of my sister I won’t have her be put in harm’s way.”

“I understand,” Nick said.  Isaac didn’t say anymore so he turned and left Nick.  “I just hope you don’t regret it,” Nick said under his breath as that uneasy feeling returned…

Angelica’s sister Courtney woke up late in the afternoon like any other teenage her age.  She sat up in bed and yawned.  She was having a wonderful dream of fucking Paul, the hottest senior in school.  Courtney was still wet from the fantasy she had where he plowed into her hard and rough.  She shivered in excitement as she remembered the size of him.  Of course it was all fantasy.  She never even talked to him.  In fact she wasn’t the most popular girl in school.  Unlike her sister who prided in being noticed by everyone, Courtney tended to read books and daydream.  Letting out a sigh she opened her nightstand and pulled out a small container that held a buggy in it.  Slowly she pulled the buggy out and looked at it.  The buggy happened to be male.

“Well you’re not as big as him, but you’ll do,” Courtney said sounding slightly disappointed.

The buggy made its usual squeaking sound as she picked it up and placed it in between her legs were she had no underwear on.  It didn’t even try to run.  Either it was too stupid to understand what was going to happen or it was little pervert who liked looking at her giant pussy.  Letting out a giggle, Courtney took her left and started to rubber her breast as she used her right hand to nudge the buggy closer to her lower lips.  The buggy tried fighting her but it was useless. 

Feeling a shiver of anticipation she quickly nudged harder and was rewarded with the feeling of the buggy being pushed up against her pussy.  She let out a small moan as the buggy started to squirm away.

“Oh no you don’t,” she whispered.  “You’re going in all the way,” she whispered seductively.  Maneuvering the buggy so she could shove him deeper she prepared herself for a wonderful experience…

Markus shouted in protest as the giantess lifted him out of his prison.  He didn’t know how long he had been in there.  All he knew was that she kept them alive with scraps and that there used to be 5 others.  When one of them was taken out they never returned.  Now it was his turn. 

He tried reasoning with her but she didn’t even make a sign of acknowledgement.  He was then dropped on a soft bed where he was confronted with a scary yet wonderful site.  It was the site of a giant pussy ready for some attention.  Markus couldn’t move as the scent of the giantess overwhelmed him.  He felt dizzy for a moment from the stench when all of a sudden he felt a sudden pressure behind him.  Scarred he looked behind him and saw the giantess’s hand pushing him closer!  Panicking he started pleading for her to stop.  She didn’t.  He got closer and closer as the heat from her private part grew hotter and hotter.  He was mere inches away from the cavern of lust when the hand stopped pushing him.  For a brief moment he believed that she would spare him… suddenly he was shoved face first into the awaiting orifice.  He was quickly covered in a sticky gooey liquid that and there was a musky smell all around him. 

Markus quickly started to try and escape his doom as he realized what was about to happen to him.  There was a moan above him and suddenly he was shoved deeper and deeper into the depths of this giantess.   Markus was assaulted by a scorching heat and covered in the slimy liquid.  The pressure all around him was like being squeezed by a giant hand, which he had experienced before and was not pleasant.  The smell was overwhelming, forcing him to breathe through his mouth.  Some of the liquid got in his mouth and he got to taste the giantess’s juices. 

Markus didn’t move an inch in the darkness as he waited for the giantess to release him.  There was some shifting around coming from the giantess.  Markus waited a few minutes for something to happen. 

What happened next scarred Markus for his life as he felt the giantess’s fingers push into him.  Then she grabbed him and started to push him deeper and then started to pull him back out only to shove him deeper in.  She was using him as a dildo!  She quickly started to move faster and faster until everything was a blur to him.  He didn’t know what was up, down, left, or right.  The walls started to squeeze down on him a little hard each time.  Suddenly he heard a muffled voice and then he was shoved deeper than he ever ventured and the fingers retraced.

Finally, it’s over- was what Markus thought until there was muffled cry and the walls around him bearing down on him with such force that he couldn’t breathe.  The pressure increased and increased as he let out a cry of pain.  He felt his body start to give in when he heard a popping noise and a pain shoot through him.  Markus was about to pass out when-

Courtney pushed the buggy inside her.  She pictured Paul naked and in front of her.  Smiling to herself she got up and put her butt in the air.  She put her hand between her legs and started to play with her clit and finger herself.  She felt the buggy at the tip of her finger and grabbed him.  She started to use him to reach deeper inside her.  It felt wonderful having him squirm just like the rest of them.  She felt him wiggling and squirming.  She imagined Paul’s member reaching inside her and touching those parts that the buggy was hitting.  Courtney let out a loud moan into her pillow as she felt an orgasm coming. 

“I’m close,” She nearly shouted into her pillow.  She shoved the buggy deeper and removed her hand as she played with her clit with both her hands.  She imagined Paul ejaculating inside of her.  This brought her to an orgasm and she moaned into her pillow as she felt her vagina pulsate and squeeze down on the foreign object inside of her.  The spasming walls of her vagina pressed down on the object more and more until-

Suddenly the object gave and there was a muffled crunching sound and then Courtney bucked her hips.  She collapsed on her bed as she felt her liquid slide out of her.  Dipping her fingers down she noticed that there was red mixed in with her clear liquid.

Sighing, “They never last.  Maybe I should just get a dildo instead.”  But Courtney didn’t know how to get one without her parent’s over reacting if they caught her.  With buggies she could quickly dispose of them or say it’s a science project.  Sighing she got up and cleaned herself up and got ready to change her sheets.  She had a lot to do: her sister Angelica needs her to drive her to her friend’s house, Courtney had homework, and her friends wanted to hang out today.   Looking down at the wet patch on her sheets she thought, man I made a mess today…

It was a long day to Nick.  He felt alone as Sam wouldn’t talk to him or acknowledge him at all.  Isaac and Ruth were almost as bad.  They didn’t say much and stayed in their little corner of the dresser as far away from everyone else.  Jasmine wanted to play dolls with all 4 of them but Isaac and Ruth didn’t want to, and Sam said she felt tired from the walk; she just wanted to avoid him.  So Nick ended up playing dolls with Jasmine till it was dinner time.  When Jasmine finished she said she had school tomorrow so she needed to get to bed early.  After Jasmine finally went to sleep, her parents headed to bed about an hour later.  Nick waited until an hour or so after Jasmine’s parents went to sleep. 

When he felt it was safe he lead both Isaac and Ruth to the edge of the dresser.  There was a number of ways to get them down but they all required a lot of energy.  Trying to find the best way without spending all his strength again he found that there was a lamp.  Using the cable as a rope, Nick slide down the rope and hoped off the cable to the ground.  It was a slightly long drop but with his strength he would be fine.  Next was Ruth who slid down.  When she jumped down Nick caught her. 

“Thank you,” Ruth said blushing as Nick set her on her feet.  Looking around Nick found some clothing lying on the ground nearby.  Nick went over and got Ruth to help drag the clothing over to make a landing zone for Isaac so he won’t injury himself when dropping from the cable.

Having the spot ready Nick called out to Isaac who slide down the cable and dropped down on the bedding of clothing.  Isaac landed with a grunt but otherwise was fine.  With both of them down on ground level Nick proceed to head to the back door where they came in a few days ago.  As they went into the kitchen Muffins meowed on top of the counter top looking down at them, but not making a move. 

When they were at the small opening that they first used to get in, Isaac turned and said farewell to Nick.

“If you need a safe place,” Nick started.

Isaac laughed, “There is no such thing.  I appreciate what you did for us but the safest thing to do is always keep moving.  Thank you for the help,” Isaac said shaking Nick’s hand.

“Thank you for helping us,” Ruth said as she went up and hugged Nick.  Nick hesitated for a moment slightly caught off guard by the show of affection, then returned the gesture.  When they were done saying goodbye Nick waved them off as he watched them leave the safety of the house into Jasmine’s backyard. 

 That feeling of uneasiness was still with him and yet Nick didn’t know why.  He waited until they were out of sight beyond the fence before he moved.  Staying in the kitchen he looked around a little bit before he headed back to Jasmine’s room.  There he used his strength to leap up to the cable and climb his way back up to the top of the dresser.   Once up on the dresser Nick forced himself to relax, but that feeling stayed with him all through the night…

Isaac looked back as he was about to enter the woods.  He was making the right decision.  “Ok Ruth lets go-”

Isaac was cut off when a hand reached down and picked up both him and Ruth.  “Dude I found some,” said a giant teenager who held them.  Isaac felt all the color fade from his face as he realized they were caught by the same teens they were running from.

“Oh, dude I think those are the ones that got away!” The other teenager said.

“No, they couldn’t be that stupid… well they are buggies,” the one holding them said.

“What should we do with them?”

“Well I know what I’m going to do with the girl,” the one holding them said chuckling.

Isaac heard the sound of a zipper being unzipped.  He started to freak out as he looked at his sister who was starting to cry.  Isaac never saw a giant try to fuck a buggy, but he heard a story once.  It was a grisly story that made him glad that he wasn’t a woman.   Sadly Ruth was.  Isaac couldn’t do anything as the teenager continued to chuckle.

“Dude really?  Only virgins fuck buggies.”

“So?  You saying you never did it before,” he questioned his friend.

“No, I’m just saying that you never fucked a girl,” he started to laugh.

“Whatever,” he said as there was the sound of pants dropping.  Isaac tried to fight the crushing grip but it was useless.  Just when the teenager was about to drop his underwear, the other stopped him.

“Wait, isn’t today Sunday?”

“Yeah, so?”

“Dude, tomorrow we have school.”

“Annnnnd,” the teenager said aggravated that he was being stopped from doing Isaac’s sister.

“We have club after school.  We need to bring some buggies.”

“Really, come on.  I’m already, just give me a couple of minutes with the female and then we can find some more.”

“Dude, it’s already getting late and we are supposed to bring in a couple, all we have are these two.  Just save it for tomorrow.”

The teenager holding Isaac and Ruth let out a groan, “Fine.”  The teenager pulled his pants back up and carried Isaac back to a vehicle.  The teenager dropped him and Ruth in a jar that had a lid covering it.  The teenager drove out of the woods and back to his house after dropping his friend off.  He placed them on his desk.  He looked straight at Ruth and said; “I so hope I get to play with you tomorrow.  I promise I’ll be gently with you.”  He started to laugh diabolically as he jumped into bed still chucking and finally went to sleep.

Ruth fell down and curled into a ball and started to weep.  Isaac tried to comfort her but she wouldn’t listen to him.  Isaac sat there with a sense of dread.  He just killed him and his sister because he didn’t believe Nick.  Not only that, but his sister might be killed in one of the bloodiest and sickest ways imagined… 

Isaac was woken up by the violent shaking of his world.  The teenager boy was standing over the container that he and Ruth were stuck in.  He started to shake the prison around and pour out just Ruth leaving Isaac by himself in the container.  The teenager took a look at Ruth and gave her a creepy smile.

“I know I said I would save you for later, but I just can’t wait.  I’m sure it would be fine to show up with just 1.”  Then teenager then proceeded to whip out his hard member in front of Isaac and his sister.  Isaac started to protest and beg the teenager to stop but he paid no attention.  The teenager then took the hand that held Ruth in and press her up against himself.  The boy let out moan as Ruth let out a horrified scream.  Isaac could do nothing but watch as his sister was being rubbed up and down the length of the giant’s giant thing.  Slowly the giant started to speed up his jerking which proceeded to cause Ruth to cry out in agony.  The boy started to moan as he applied more pressure to his member.  Suddenly there was a sickening squishing noise as Ruth let out a painful muffled scream.  The hand started to move faster and in its trail there was a red liquid coating left behind.  The giant quickly pointed his member at Isaac as the boy gave him an evil grin.  The giant squeezed harder on his organ and Isaac heard the last dying cry of his sister as the boy released himself all over the place.

Isaac watched in pure horror at what was left of his sister over the large member in front of him.

“Ah that felt good.  Now I’m feeling a bit peckish,” Shrugging the boy picked up the container and brought it to his face.  “Well might as well finish you off too.”  Tilting the container he started to tip Isaac out and toward his open mouth.  Isaac tried to get away but it was useless he started to head toward the open maw.  Isaac tried to grab something but there was nothing to grab.  He slide out of the container and started to fall midair toward his death…

Isaac shot up awaking from the horrid nightmare.  Looking to his left his sister laid next to him curled up in a ball.  Panting and sweating from the nightmare, Isaac looked around to see if anything had change while he slept.   Everything was still the same.  He was still stuck in a jar on top of a desk.  His captor was still asleep in his bed.  Trying to see if there was a way out Isaac walked up to his prisons wall and pressed up against it.  He didn’t even move the jar a centimeter.  Letting out a defeated sigh he started to pace around to think of another option to his dilemma.  Suddenly there was a loud beeping noise.  The giant slowly started to move and slap his alarm clock.  Slowly he rose out of his bed and started to walk sleepily toward them.  Isaac held his breath as his nightmare started to come true.  Just as the teenager got close enough for Isaac to see to his horror of the size of him… he walked past them and out of the room.

It didn’t take too long for him to return and get quickly dressed.  Before Isaac could blink he picked up the jar and carried them out of his room and into his car.  It wasn’t too long of a drive until they got to school.  The teenager then picked up the jar and smiled at them in an evil way and said, “See you all in a couple of hours,” he then put the jar into his backpack and headed into school.  Isaac could do nothing as he and Ruth had a finite time left to live. 

Jasmine woke up to her mom knocking on her door.  It was time for school.  She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.  Before she left she noticed that the two other buggies were missing.  Jasmine quickly found Nick who was up and asked him about their disappearance.

“They said they needed to leave.  They wanted to say goodbye but you were asleep and they didn’t want to wake you up.”

“Oh,” Jasmine said disappointed that she never really got to know them very well.  Jasmine then heard her mom call her for breakfast.  Quickly Jasmine went downstairs and ate her cereal.  She took some dried pieces of cereal to give to Nick and Sam.  When she was done eating she went to her room and fed Nick and Sam.  Then she got dressed and ready for school.  She asked them if they would want to come to school with her.

“Sorry, but I already passed second grade,” Nick said jokingly.

“Same,” said Sam but not as jokingly.  Sam seemed to be upset about something ever since a couple of days ago.  Jasmine asked about it yesterday but she just said it was nothing.  Jasmine told them to be careful, because her mom might come in and straighten her room, and said goodbye.  She headed outside to go to school and was about to get into her parents car when Annabel came up her drive way.

“Hey,” She said.

“Oh, what are you doing here?” Jasmine asked as she unbuckled herself out of the car seat to talk with her friend.

“I wanted to say sorry about the other day.”

“You couldn’t wait till we got to school,” Jasmine asked.

“I didn’t know if you were still mad and didn’t want to wait to find out.  Look I’m really sorry about how I acted, Friends?”

Jasmine smiled and gave her a hug, “Were always friends.  Mom can we give Annabel a ride?”

Jasmine’s mom was just getting into the driver’s seat, “Of course.  I don’t want you kids walking home anymore either, there have been some shady people around the neighborhood and I don’t want you two to run into them.  Now let’s hurry up or we might be late.”

Jasmine hopped in and scooted over to make room for Annabel.  Annabel put her bag on the seat and said, “I need to use the bathroom.  I’ll be right back,” She headed inside.

“Hurry up sweetie, you should have used the bathroom before you left,” Jasmine’s mom said.  “Sometimes I wonder about that child,” she said to her daughter.

Annabel just finished going to the bathroom.  She paused by Jasmine’s room when she saw the door open slightly.  Peeking inside she took a quick glance around.  She had to stop herself from gasping at the sight of the two buggies on top of Jasmine’s dresser.  Quickly and quietly Annabel snuck into the room and headed toward them…

Nick was deciding either to patch things up with Sam or to leave it alone until she was ready to talk about it.  He was too busy thinking to notice Annabel coming up from behind when it was too late.  He had no time to react when he was picked up by the giantess and put in a plastic zip lock bag.  Sam was then picked up.  She barely had time to shout when she was placed in the baggy next to Nick.  The giantess gave a gleeful laugh and zipped the baggy up.  She then put the baggy in her pocket and headed out of the room.  Sam started to panic and shout for help that went unheard.

“Nick, what do we do?”

“… There isn’t anything I can do,” Nick said.

“What,” Sam said hysteric now.  “Can’t you, I don’t know, punch your way out or something?!”

“First thing, I don’t have that much strength, second it’s too stretchy.  Unlike a solid container I can’t break it I have to tear it, which it is designed not to be torn apart.  All we can do is wait and try to talk with her.”

“What if she doesn’t want to talk,” Sam asked frightened now.

“…”

“Nick I’m scared,” Sam said as she found her way toward him.  “I’m sorry I was acting so-”

Nick cut her off, “No, you had every right to be mad.  I shouldn’t have hurt your feelings like that.  Sam don’t worry, I’ll find a way out of this,” Nick told Sam making her believe in him.  If only Nick could make himself believe it too.

Jasmine finally saw Annabel walking out of the house.  She had a skip in her step as she jumped into the car.  “Finally, what took you so long,” Jasmine asked.

“I had to go really bad.  Oh, right I forgot my sister has soccer practice after school, so she can’t take us back right after school.  There is this new club we can hang out at till she is finished if that’s ok with you and your mom.”

Jasmine shrugged, “Sure.”  Soccer practice wouldn’t run too late she just hopped that Sam and Nick didn’t think that something bad happened.

“I would prefer it if she did take you two home.  I know I would feel more comfortable if she drove Jazzy home instead of her walking,” Jasmine’s mom said.

“Ok, meet me in Mrs. Barthen’s room after school.”

Isaac and Ruth waited for what was eternity before they saw the light of day again.  What they saw was not inspiring.  The teenager took out the jar they were in and set them down on a table that held many jars like theirs.  Each jar had a couple of tinny people both male and female of all different ages.  After the giant set them down he walked over to a small group of kids and started to talk with them.  A couple of moments later a female giantess, about 13 came in with a small container that held 4 tinny people in them and set them down next to Isaac and Ruth.  It dawned on Isaac what was happening, they were being collected… but for what? 

As time passed by more children of different ages and genders brought in more and more tiny people in containers, jars, or boxes.  Isaac’s fear and hopelessness rose with each giant or giantess that walked into the room.  The room was filled with about 20 of them ranging from children the age of Jasmine, to the age of the teenager who captured them.  When Isaac thought no more would show up he was proven wrong with dread when he saw 2 girls enter.  One he never saw before but the other was Jasmine…

Jasmine was waiting for Annabel to show up.  She kept seeing students walk in and closing the door.  Jasmine was wondering what was going on inside but wanted to wait for her friend before she entered.  Finally she saw Annabel show up.  She came running up, “Sorry.  I needed to talk with Tracie to see when she would be done.  We got about 2 hours until she is done.”

“Ok, so what are we doing here?”

Annabel gave her a grin, “It’s a surprise.”  Annabel opened the door and let Jasmine enter first.  The moment Jasmine entered she paused.  There were dozens of buggies being held in various containers.  It took her a moment to reliazed what was going on.  They were in a buggy club. 

A buggy club is a place where people would gather up buggies and share them with each other.  It’s a place where you do just about whatever you want with buggies, either to show tricks they learned on how to kill buggies or fun ways to use them.  Jasmine heard of the club but was never interested in it.  Not to mention you needed to bring buggies in to be part of the club.  Jasmine was about to leave thinking that they walked into the wrong room when Annabel walked over to the table and put down a plastic bag.  Jasmine had to remain still as she noticed that inside the bag, to her horror, was Nick and Sam.  She could see the horror on Sam’s face as they stared at each other.  Jasmine was about to grab the bag and leave when a Senor from the high school part of the school walked over to them blocking Jasmine’s view of the Sam and Nick.

“You two must be new.  My name is Cindy and as head of the club I would like to welcome you.  Why don’t you two come over her and sit down.  We’ll get started soon.” Cindy started to usher them toward the crowed of students.  One of them Jasmine noticed to be Angelica.  Jasmine didn’t know she went to this club and it didn’t look like this was her first time either.  Cindy started to count how many buggies they had.  Jasmine had to do something fast or Nick and Sam would be in big trouble…

Nick did his best to stay calm as they were displayed out on a table surround by buggies and giant children.  His gut feeling came back to him and he realized too late what it was warning him about.  Nick noticed that Jasmine was here too, but unlike the others, who had happy or impatient looks on, she had a blank face on but her eyes showed fear. 

“Jasmine help,” Sam started to shout.  No one noticed, not even the buggies around them noticed.  Sam tried again and again but it was the same results.

“Sam,” Nick said stopping her from trying again.  “The bag is air tight.  No one can hear us.  Not to mention what would Jasmine do?  Grab the bag and run?  I’m sure she wouldn’t get far and the others wouldn’t appreciate her stealing from them.”

“W-what are you saying?   Are we going to…” Sam couldn’t say it.

“No, no we are not going to die.  Just, just don’t say anything ok?  No matter what happens.  I don’t know how they will react if they know we can talk.  It could help, or make it worse.”   Nick turned around and saw to his shock Isaac and Ruth staring at them trying to tell them something.  It kind of explained why his gut told him there was danger nearby, it was warning him about them too.  Nick wanted to choke himself for being so blind.  No, it was too late to fix the past, he need to focus on the now and find a way to save not only Sam and himself, but also Isaac and Ruth…

Jasmine watched as Cindy started to pour the buggies into an empty aquarium.  She watched as all the buggies started to scramble around looking for an exit.  She lost sight of Nick and Sam, and felt panic swell up.  She did her best not to show it.  Jasmine ran over ideas of how to save them but none of them would help.  If she said something she probable be laughed at and they would ignore her or kick her out and then she wouldn’t be able to do anything.  She would have to bide her time before she could make her move.

“There are a few new members here today so I will tell you what’s going to go on.  Usually we make up some fun game to play.  Today we will play ‘I dare you’.  It’s really simple; I’ll go first and I’ll choice someone to do whatever I dare them to do with the buggy, or buggies.  For example, I dare you,” Cindy said pointing straight to Annabel, “to sit on this buggy.”  Cindy reached in and brought out a buggy; luckily it wasn’t anyone that Jasmine knew.

Everyone looked at Annabel who seemed slightly shocked.  “Me?” She asked.

“Yes you,” Cindy said pulling Annabel forward.  “What’s your name?”

“Annabel.”

One of the older kids said, “Cindy really?  Why do we even let the kids in here, it’s not like she’s going to do it.”

“Well if she can’t, there is no shame in that.  Annabel if you want you can leave right now…” Cindy said pointing to the door.

At this Annabel put on a determined face and said, “Give me the buggy.”  Annabel picked the buggy out of Cindy’s hand and walked over to a chair where she set the buggy down and looked down at the pathetic creature that was remaining still.  Annabel wondered if it knew what was about to happen to it, but then wouldn’t it get out of the way or try to plead with her?  Not like it would matter she was going to do this.  “I just have to sit on it,” Annabel asked wondering if there was more involved.

“Yeah, but not squish it.  I want to see if you can put on a good show for us.”

Annabel nodded as she realized what this was all about.  It wasn’t about killing buggies it was making a game out of it.  She had to do something that would make the others recognize her as member.  If she and Jasmine were to come here after school they had to make a name for themselves.  Well if there is one thing she can do it was make others remember her.  Grinning down at the buggy she said, “I almost feel sorry for you…”

Chuck didn’t move an inch as he was placed down on the plastic chair and looked up at the giantess.  She looked down at him with no emotion toward him, as if he were nothing to her.  There was no pity, anger, disgust.  There was simple nothing as if he was a thing and not a living person.  He didn’t move in fear of getting her wrath.  But as time went on and he listened to the conversation his fear turned to dread as he reliazed what was to happen to him.  By the time he realized he should have run it was too late.  The giantess turned her behind around and started to descend her buttocks down upon him.  Chuck started to run but was quickly smashed up against her cloth covered rear end and cold plastic material underneath him.  Chuck was uninjured from the impact, but he knew that would change any second.  Quickly he started to squirm away, hopefully toward the exit of this now crushing environment.  He tried to wiggle away but he barely moved anywhere, yet he would not give up.  There was a noise above him, like the sound of laughter.  Was the giantess enjoying his pain?  What cruel monster would enjoy something like this?  Suddenly the pressure on his back was lifted.  She was releasing him!

Annabel sat down on the buggy and could barely feel the buggy underneath her rump.  Suddenly it started to move.  There was a tickling sensation she could feel through the fabric of her skirt.  She couldn’t help but let out a giggle at the feeling.  Everyone in the room was watching and Annabel blushed slightly.  She didn’t know what they were waiting for so she started to get up off the seat.  She raised her butt of the chair a couple of inches.  Most of the club members gave her an unimpressed look.  Then suddenly she smacked her butt down on top of the buggy.  This got a lot of laughter from them as they realized that she was toying with it.

Chuck let out a shout for her to stop when he noticed the rear end coming back for seconds.  It smashed down on his back causing him to yell in pain.  He had no doubt that anyone heard him, or if they cared.  Chuck went in a frenzy of trying to get away as she started to lift up off the seat again.  He didn’t get far as again he was smashed into the seat with no remorse.  Again and again the evil giantess continued her torture of him.  She stopped after the fifth time.  The constant weight of her bared down on his back reminding him that any second he could be turned into a stain.  Suddenly there was a slow movement; the giantess was starting to wiggle her hips.  This caused Chuck to slowly slide across the plastic surface.  It was agonizing as his skin felt like it was being peeled off as it was being smothered into the chair.  Chuck started to weep for her to stop.

“Ok, Annabel you had your fun,” Cindy said laughing as she watched her grind the buggy into the chair. 

“So now what,” Annabel asked waiting to see what she needed to do next.

“Kill it and then you get to pick the next person,” Cindy said.

Annabel thought for a moment how when she felt a tingle in her gut.  Grinning she knew what she was going to do.

Chuck swore he was about to pass out when the girl got off the chair.  Praising God for her kindness of not killing him, he was about to stand up when he noticed she didn’t move away from the seat.  “Oh no…” he said as he looked up at her as she lifted up her skirt revealing her underwear beneath it.  The giantess then descended her butt down on him again and this time he was dead center of her buttocks.  Unable to do anything but shout for help he was quickly covered by her underwear and butt.  The skirt was then dropped down over the seat covering him and the chair.  Chuck didn’t know what to do as he just lay as still as possible.  Maybe if he acted dead she would leave.  Suddenly there was a gurgle above him.  “NO-” was all he got out before there was a trumpet sound and he was blasted with a hot pressured wave of gas from the giantess above him.  It lasted for a few seconds but that was all that was needed to make him gag.  The smell was awful as he couldn’t get fresh air.  The skirt was keeping the stench from dissipating out and letting fresh air in.  Suddenly there was another gust of hot air breathing down on him.  Chuck coughed and coughed as the air became unbreathable.  He started to gag and chock, suddenly there was a louder sound and then a enormous fart came out of the giantess bottom as it blew all over him for the longest time.  The last thing Chuck experience was the noxious fumes of a little girl as she passed her gas and suffocated him under her rear end…  

This was the first time Annabel was glad she had tacos that night before school.  Normally she would hold her gas or release it when no one was around but today was an exception.  As she watched everyone practically cheer her on as she released possible the longest fart in history to kill a buggy under her rear end.  It gave her such joy and a sense of belonging.  When she was done she hopped up and down in her chair making sure she squished the buggy just in case he was still alive, and got up to look at the red stain in the chair.  Cindy gave her a wipe to clean up and then told her to pick someone to go next.  As she looked through the crowed of older students she noticed everyone’s look of approval.  She was now one of them…

Sam stood still and let what just transpired sink in.  They were trapped with no escape and were about to be killed for the entertainment of these sadistic children.  Surrounded by other tiny people Sam could see their reactions, they all had the same look on their faces; it was despair.  Looking to Nick who had a grim face on, Sam was about to ask him a question but caught herself.  She heard the hush voices of the others talking.  They were all saying thing like ‘this was the end for them’, ‘how unfair’, ‘why them’, and other things. 

Maybe they could climb the walls, Sam thought and looked up.  They were too tall for them to get over without something to help them up.  They could climb on top of each other but then what?  It was hopeless.  Suddenly Annabel started to walk over toward them and peered into the crowed of little people.  She started to search the group and to Sam’s horror she locked eyes with her.  Sam felt a chill run down her spin as a smirk spread across her face.  Sam took a couple of steps back and noticed that Annabel was still looking at her.

“So, I can pick anyone and they have to do whatever I say with the buggies I pick out?”

“Yep,” Cindy said.

“Alright…” Annabel said as she reached down to collect Sam and Nick.

Jasmine still couldn’t believe Annabel could do anything so cruel to that poor buggy.  It wasn’t until Annabel called her out did Jasmine snap out of the daze and brought her back to the present.  “What?”

Annabel laughed as she said, “I pick you to go next.  Come on silly.”  She practically pulled her forward as Jasmine didn’t know what to do.  She couldn’t possible kill any buggies no matter what.  Before she could protest Annabel placed two buggies in her hand without looking, “I want you to step on them with your feet.”  Annabel then gave her a cheerful smile, “Trust me you’ll love it.”  She then skipped off back into the group of students not looking back.

 Jasmine didn’t know what to do or say.  She did her best not to show her true emotion, which was of pure horror.  She looked around and noticed that everyone was starting to grow impatient as she didn’t move.  After a few moments Cindy said, “Jasmine, right?  You don’t have to do it.  You can walk away…”

Jasmine looked down at the two poor buggies that would have to be killed by her feet.  Silently she gasped as she noticed that she knew the two buggies.  It was Ruth and Isaac.

Isaac couldn’t believe what he and Ruth just did.  They noticed the look that the giantess gave Sam.  She was the next victim.  Ruth quickly told Isaac they had to do something.  Pushing through the crowd both of them went to try and do whatever they could to help.  They were almost there when the giantess hand descended down to pick out her next victim.  The crowd of people started to part leaving both Nick and Sam there to be collective.  Isaac didn’t want to but had to repay back Nick for him saving them he rushed forward and pushed Nick and Sam out of the way.  Unfortunately Ruth followed and the two of them were picked up instead.  Either Annabel didn’t reliazed or didn’t care because she kept them wrapped up in her hand.  Isaac heard what was to become of their fate, which was actually not so bad compared to what could happen to them.  At least it would be quick… hopefully.  When there was light again they looked up to see who it was that would kill them.  It would so happen to be the little girl that was housing them.  Ironic really, Isaac thought.  They left to be safe from her only to end up in her hand to kill them.  Not going to try and plead, even though she wouldn’t hear them or care, Isaac would die with dignity.  He just wished his sister didn’t follow him. 

“Well,” Someone said.

“Jasmine,” Annabel said, “You can do it.  It’s really easy and I promise you, you’ll love it.”

Jasmine didn’t believe Annabel.  “I have to step on them,” Jasmine said out loud.  Jasmine’s mind started to think up ways out of this, but there was no way out.  The only way out was stepping on them…

That was it!  She thought.

Annabel watched with joy as Jasmine said, “Ok.  I’ll do it.”  Annabel was happy that Jasmine finally would kill her first buggies.  Unfortunately it looked like those weren’t the buggies she wanted Jasmine to kill, but it really didn’t matter.  Now Jasmine would be part of the club too.  Jasmine put on a device smile as she started to take her shoes off.  Was she going to go bare foot?  “Alright little buggies time to get squished,” Jasmine said as she placed a buggy in her left shoe and one in her right.  She shook her shoe around to put the buggies in the perfect squishing position and got ready to put her shoes back on.  Looking into each shoe she said, “Bye bye little buggies.”  Jasmine then took her foot and slid it into her left shoe, then her right.  She wiggled her feet around a little then jumped up and down and stomped her feet.  She let out a giggle as she said that it felt funny and sticky in her shoes.  “All done,” She said as she gave each foot another powerful stomp. 

Isaac couldn’t help but shout for his sister as she was dropped into the shoe.  He was then next to be deposited into Jasmine’s shoe.  To say they didn’t smell would be a lie.  It wasn’t a horrendous smell but it wasn’t a nice smell.  Her shoes had a sour bitter smell to it, due to her feet being in her shoes all day.  Isaac was about to flick the little girl off in one last ditch effort of defiance but was suddenly knocked down and flew to the tip of the shoe.  Getting up he watched as the back of the shoe, where the light poured in, started to be blotted out.  Isaac could do nothing as he stood there waiting for the fuzzy socked foot to mush him into a gooey paste.  Closing his eyes he waited for the end to come.  Suddenly the foot slammed into him with an unbelievable amount of force, one of her toes poked him in the gut causing him to lose his breathe.  Unable to see anything in the dark Isaac could only gasp for air as the foot slide him further into the depths of the shoe.  When he felt his back get pressed up against the toe of the shoe, Isaac felt the foot start to wiggle around and move his body into a better position to crush him.  One of the toes poked him in the shoulder causing it to bruise, as Jasmine’s toes covered his entire body.  Suddenly instead of the toes pushing him under the foot he was shoved up above the foot.  He was now lying on top of the foot.  Shocked, Isaac waited for the giantess to move her foot to try and kill him.  Instead he felt the foot move up and down in a stomping motion as the loud sound of her shoes smacking the ground filled his ears.  A couple of more jumps and then he heard a muffled voice, “All done.”  Jasmine didn’t kill him?  She saved his life!  What about his sister?  If Jasmine didn’t kill him, then he would have to trust that she saved his sister too.  What other choice did he have?  He would just have to wait and see when Jasmine took him out of her shoe.  He just wished that her shoe didn’t smell so bad…

“Good job for your first time,” Cindy said.  “You could have showed us the action, but it looks like you had fun which is the most important part of this.  Ok pick someone out to go next.”

Jasmine put on her best joyful smile.  She should be an actress when she grows up due to her performance.  Everyone bought it, now Isaac and Ruth are safe.  Sadly, she didn’t know what to do for Nick and Sam.  Worse she now had to condemn a buggy to death.  Looking into the crowd of buggies she saw Nick and Sam.  Sam looked petrified until Nick whispered something into her ear, suddenly her face lite up with joy.  Jasmine didn’t know how but Nick most have knew what she did and told Sam.  Jasmine gave them a quick wink at them to hopefully show that everything was fine. 

Now she had to do something she would regret; she had to choose one of these buggies to be murdered, and how they will be killed.  Closing her eyes she reached in and picked up an older woman around the age of 40.  Quickly Jasmine whispered to her, “I’m sorry.”  Then turning to the rest she pointed to an 8th grader and said, “I want you to chew her up.”  She had to hide the cringing she felt like doing as she picked hopefully the quickest and least painful way to go.

 The 8th grader was a boy and he didn’t look so pleased but didn’t refuse the dare.  As Jasmine handed the buggy to him she started to squeak and cry as the boy practically snatched her out of Jasmine’s hand.  When Jasmine stepped back into the group to watch the buggy be killed Annabel clapped her on the back and whispered to her, “Wasn’t it fun.  See I knew you would enjoy it,” She was saying some more stuff but Jasmine tuned her out.  She hated every second of this sick club and she hated her best friend more and more for stealing her friends, dragging her here, and trying to force her to kill these poor creatures. 

Jasmine was instantly snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the buggy start to cry profusely as the boy took a bite out of her leg and started to chew slowly.  He wait a few moment as the buggy seemed to almost pass out and took another bite out of her forcing her to cry out loud and stop her from passing out.

“Hey I said to chew her,” Jasmine practical yelled at him.

He gave her a look and said, “I am.”

“No you’re not.  You’re biting her.”

Again he gave her a look that made her want to hit him, “Soooo?  It’s my turn.  Besides you should have been more specific.  Not to mention why do you care?”

Jasmine felt everyone looking at her, “Well… it’s cruel,” she barely said.

“…” The boy continued to look at Jasmine as he took another small bite of the woman causing her to scream again.  Jasmine realized that she couldn’t do anything to stop him as he continued to torture the poor woman that Jasmine condemned to death.  She should have been more specific.  Jasmine did her best not to show anymore emotions as the boy finished off the buggy in smaller and smaller bites until she stopped move and finally died. 

“There all done,” He said gloatingly at Jasmine.  “Now I want-”

“One of them is trying to escape,” someone said.  Everyone looked at the table to see a male buggy trying to run away…

Nick as well as everyone else in the room was too distracted to notice that a small group of buggies were trying to escape.  As the boy tortured the poor women and Jasmine’s outburst, it provided the best distraction for an escape.  The group of tiny people trying to get out formed a makeshift pyramid to help people to climb out as everyone looked at the 8th grader.  Only one person got out before one of the kids noticed and said something.  The little person started to sprint across the table to a cable that would lead down the table to floor.  He almost reached before a giant little hand grabbed him.  Nick looked to see that it belonged to a familiar face, Angelica.  Before anyone could say anything she popped him into her mouth and swallowed him whole.

“Hey!  You can’t do that,” Someone shouted at her.

“What?  He was trying to run away.  Were allowed to do what we want if they try and run, right?” Angelica asked Cindy.

Cindy nodded, “Yeah that’s right.”  Angelica gave him a knowing smirk and skipped back into place waiting for her turn.

“Now where was I,” The 8th grader said, “Oh yeah, I pick… my sister.  I want you to shove this buggy up your butt!”

“What,” Said a girl that was a senior in the high school part of the school.  “Why?”

“Because I’m getting you back for calling me a creep last week,” he said snidely.

“You were in my room stealing stuff!”  She yelled at him.  He just stuck his tongue out at her.  “No I’m not doing it,” She said definitely.

“Beth,” Cindy said.  “I know you don’t want to, but-”

“Rules are rules.  You have to do what I say or you have to leave,” Beth’s bother said in a taunting voice.

Beth gave her brother a glare that caused him to freeze him from continuing his taunting.  Not willing to let her brother win this round, Beth walked over and took the buggy that he had in his hand, “Your dead.” She said to her brother.  Beth couldn’t touch her brother because her parents would ground her and she really wanted to go to prom this weekend.  With no other way to get back at him she would have to settle with the pathetic creature that was in her grasp.  Imagining her brother as the buggy, she gave it a menacing glare.  You’re going to pay little bro.

Mathew was screaming his head off for her to not do it, but she didn’t show any sign of caring.  He was about to be shoved up this giantess beautiful ass to die a painful and disgusting death all because of a little sibling rivalry.  Suddenly the giantess moved toward one of the desk that lay out and leaned up against it so she was facing the club members and pointed her rear end away from them, all the while looking at him.  He could feel the cold hatred from her toward her brother which was being directed at him now.  Trying one last desperate attempt he pleaded with her to stop.   There was the sound of her clothing sliding down from her hips.  Some of the littler kids giggled a bit but most of the older kids watched in fascination at what they would get to see.  Mathew decided he rather die his own way and ran for the edge of her hand to jump off.  He barely made a step when she closed her hand trapping him. 

“Trying to run away?  I don’t think so,” she said with an evil laugh.  “I’m going to punish you for all the times you bugged me.”

“I never did anything to you!”  Mathew yelled trying to get free.

“Let me give you a kiss good bye,” Beth licked Mathew all over and got him covered in her warm sticky saliva.  “Bye bye, now,” She said with a joyful laugh.  Mathew was quickly rushed toward his demise as he headed toward the giantess rear end.  Shouting for help that went unheard he was quickly brought face to ass with Beth’s giant bottom.  Immediately Mathew grew silent as he looked at it with a dreadful yet marveling gaze.  Beth gave him a few seconds before she leaned forward further and reached behind her and spread her cheeks with her free hand. 

Mathew held his breath as he got a whiff of her.  The saying looks can be deceiving never was so true.  Beth’s ass was a glorious sight that is if it weren’t a monstrous sized butt trying to kill him.  Although it looked clean and beautiful there was a slight hint of excrement coming from her.  Mathew curled his noise at the smell.  Slowly he was being pushed forward toward the pink wrinkled hole.  Kicking and shouting Mathew did his best to fight her off, but again his results were the same.  He drew closer and closer until he was almost touching her ass hole.  The smell was horrendous.  As expecting the smell was coming from behind the hole and he had no doubt that it smelled worse.  Suddenly the hole blossomed open and a wave of foul gas rolled over him.  Mathew started to gag and cry at the smell, while Beth used this opportunity to shove Mathew face forward into her awaiting bowels.  Mathew was quickly pushed passed the barrier that marked as the outside world and into the depths of Beth.  He was grabbed by Beth’s intestinal muscles and pulled slightly deeper into her awaiting inwards. 

Beth quickly pulled her fingers out of her bottom and straightened as she felt the tiny buggy wiggle inside her.  Quickly she pulled her clothes up and sealed the buggy to its fate as it continued to move around.  Walking back toward the middle of class room she quickly picked someone to go next to do what she liked.  Beth headed back to the group when she came to her brother who was grinning until she stopped right in front of him. 

“Oh, it feels soooo good inside of me.  You want a sample of what he’s going through?”  Her brother’s face quickly turned to a confused and worried look.  Beth reached back and scratched her ass and quickly pushed it into her brother’s face.  “Here,” she pushed it up against his noise causing him to shout out and stubble back.  “Just wait until proms over.  I’m going to make your life suck.”  Beth sat down and watched the other girl go.  She couldn’t help but wiggle her rear end in its seat as the buggy made her bottom feel funny.  It wouldn’t last long though, because Beth would need to use the bathroom soon.  She hadn’t gone and was waiting till her turn to go before she left to use the restroom.  Now she wanted to savor the feeling.

Mathew felt the walls emit an almost searing heat.  The air had a foul deathly smell to it that caused him to gag every time he took a breath.  Unable to see where he was going Mathew crawled around aimlessly as he heard the sounds of gurgling and growling around him.  The walls were starting to pulsate.  Mathew froze as he heard a sickening sound of something sliding.  It gave him chills in the heat as a disgusting smell rolled over him.  He could barely make out a wall of something moving toward him at a slow pace.  Screaming in dread he quickly realized that it was the last thing he wanted to see and headed in the opposite direction.  He ran into a wall of muscle that was clenched closed.  Pounding on it he started to hit it with all his might when he felt something touch him in the back.  He didn’t move as he felt the pressure increase and build as he was mashed up against the wall of flesh and a wall of waste.  Suddenly one of the walls gave, and it wasn’t the fleshy one.  The wall of waste started to ooze around him and warp itself around him.  He yelled and screamed for help as the brown mass slowly enveloped him and silenced him forever…

Beth felt the tickling sensation on her butt hole cease and the urge to poo grow.  Well that was entertaining while it lasted she thought.  At least she learned that she might enjoy trying anal with her data after prom.  After the girl finished her round she got up and walked out for the class room to let her little buddy out, and her buggy.

Jasmine was glade that no one picked Nick or Sam yet.  There were only three left and only one person left to be picked.  She might have a chance to save Nick and Sam if they weren’t picked.  The last person to be picked was, Angelica.  She had a giddy look on her face. 

“Looks like you’re the last one,” Cindy said to Angelica who came skipping up happily.

“Yep!”

“Ok, well I guess you get to have the last three to do what you want.”

“YEAH,” Angelica shouted in joy.

“What?”  Jasmine said confused.

“That’s the rules the last person gets to do what they want with the rest,” Cindy explained.

“But… but she can’t.”

“Why not,” Angelica said with anger in her voice.  “I was last and that means I can do what I want with them.  Rules are rules, but I’ll forgive you because you’re new here,” Angelica said in a snobbish voice.

Nick listened to the conversation that determined their lives.  Could Jasmine really save them?  He was holding Sam behind him.  Nick didn’t know if he could keep Sam safe from Angelica or the rest of the giantess if things went bad.  Suddenly Angelica dipped her hand in without looking and grabbed the last buggy leaving only him and Sam.

She brought him quickly up to her mouth and bite into him.  He started to yell in pain as she started to chew on him while she taunted Jasmine about it.  Jasmine looked at them with fear in her eyes as she went to Cindy.

“Cindy, those two buggies are my pets and aren’t supposed to be here.”

Cindy shook her head, “You shouldn’t have brought them here.”

“But I didn’t!”

Cindy just said, “Look, you had to bring in some buggies to be part of the club.  If you didn’t want to lose them you shouldn’t have brought them with you.”

“Please their special.  I can prove it too, I … I taught them to talk!”

Angelica finished off the buggy in her hands and looked at Jasmine.  “You can’t teach them to talk,” She said in disbelief. 

“I can prove it,” Jasmine said as everyone thought that she was being silly.  Angelica picked up both Nick and Sam and brought them closer to her face.

“Can you really talk,” Angelica asked them.

Nick didn’t know what might come from this but maybe this could save them.  “Hey,” Nick said causing everyone to gasp.  Everyone looked in surprise at Jasmine and then at Nick. 

“See I told you,” Jasmine said.  “Please can I have them back?”  Jasmine pleaded.

“You really taught them to talk,” Angelica asked.

“Yes.”

“Cool, now I can understand them IN MY STOMACH!”  Angelica said as she tossed them down her throat.  She quickly swallowed them and laughed.

“NOOO!”  Jasmine cried.

“I never liked you anyway Jazzy you were always too nice,” Angelica said as she skipped away.  “See you in class tomorrow, I’ll tell you what they said when I’m done pooping them out.”  She laughed again and left the class.

Jasmine was too stunned to say anything as the club started to disperse.  Some of the kids said they felt sorry, others asked if she could teach their buggies to talk.  All that was left was Cindy and Annabel. 

Cindy came up Jasmine and said, “I’m sorry about that.  Maybe next time you won’t try bringing your pets in.”  Cindy then told them they should head home now.  Jasmine walked out of the class room not saying a word as she headed toward the soccer fields waiting for Tracie to finish her practice and take her home. 

Annabel followed trying to find out how she taught them to talk.  Jasmine didn’t say anything and found Tracie talking with some girls.

“Ah and there they are.  You guys ready to go home,” Tracie asked.

“Yeah,” Jasmine said depressed.

“What’s wrong,” Tracie asked as she led them to her car.

“Jasmine taught buggies how to speak, but someone ate them at the club today,” Annabel said.

“What?”  Tracie said as she started the car.  “You brought Jasmine to that buggy club thing?  I thought you hated killing buggies?”  Tracie asked turning around and looking back at Jasmine and Annabel.

Jasmine didn’t say anything as she took her shoes off and let out Ruth and Isaac. 

“You didn’t kill them?!”  Annabel said shocked.

Jasmine didn’t say anything as she held them close and away from Annabel.

“Wait back up, what’s going on,” Tracie asked.

Jasmine gave Annabel a hatful glare, “She stole my friends from me!  They weren’t buggies they were my friends and you took them and gave them to-to that club!  You tried to get me to kill these two who are also my friends!  Then,” Jasmine took a breath and sobbed, “Angelica ate my friends!”

Tracie gave Annabel a glare that caused her to shrink back.  “You did WHAT!  What were you thinking?  I-I can’t believe you would-” Tracie let out a frustrated shout.  “What till mom and dad hear about this.”

“What?  I just wanted to show Jasmine that it’s fun to play with buggies.”

Tracie and Annabel argue back and forth but Jasmine was too upset to listen she was too busy looking at Ruth and Isaac who looked scarred and sad too. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you two safe and never let anyone hurt you.  I swear.” Jasmine promised.

Nick barely had time to grab Sam as they were tossed into Angelica’s mouth.  Quickly Nick wrapped himself around her and rolled to the back of her mouth to avoid her teeth and fell down her throat.  He heard Jasmine cry out but was quickly muffled as he and Sam fell down the wet tight tube that was Angelica’s throat.  It took them a little while to be plopped out into a wet hot and smelly swamp.  There was a mushy pulp that surrounded their feet that had a hint of bologna smell.  Nick felt his legs start to tingle a little.  Quickly he threw up a small shield around him and one around Sam to keep the acid out.

Unable to see Nick then quickly created an orb of light and tossed it out.  The orb faded for a second then grew bright revealing the stomach of Angelica.  The acid had eaten most of what Angelica ate for lunch.  It left just a brown like pulp that was still breaking down.  The acid was a brownish liquid that filled the entire stomach.  After getting a quick glimpse of his environment he turned to Sam to check if she was ok.

“Are you alright?”

“Y-yeah… are we in her stomach?”  Nick nodded.  “Then… OH NO THE ACID!” she shouted as she tried to jump out of the liquid. 

“Calm down, Sam,” Nick said holding her still.  “I got us protected with a shield it won’t hurt you.”

“Thank you,” She said hugging him tight.  “I’m so scared right now.  What are we going to do?  Are we going to be digested?”

“No, we will be fine,” Nick lied.  Truth was he didn’t have enough energy to keep them shielded for the entire digestion period.  He could keep one person shield for the entire time they were in the stomach and through most of the intestinal travel time.  Problem was there were two of them.  Not to mention he would rather shield Sam leaving him to fight off the acid which would kill him.  Once he died the shield would drop and she too would follow.  The only other option was teleportation.  Unfortunately he again didn’t have the strength to get both of them out.  He would have to use his time to think up a way to get out. 

Sam didn’t let go of him as he tried to move.  “Uh, Sam?”

“I-I-I know but… please nick don’t let go of me.  I’m too scared right now,” She said petrified.  Nick could understand her.  He had moments when he was too was too scared to move.  Luckily he had his trusty hoodie…

Taking his hoodie off, Nick put it on Sam.  She looked absolutely silly with a hoodie that was too large for her.  In a weird way she looked adorable in it.  She had a shocked expression on.

“Better?” Nick asked.  She nodded and started to take it off.  Nick stopped her, “Why don’t you keep it for now,” Nick said.

“But,” Sam started but Nick stopped her.  Sam didn’t want to admit it, but the hoodie was extremely comfortable.  It smelled wonderful and like Nick.  Even though it was hot in the stomach the hoodie kept her cool, almost as if it protected her from the environment.  The fact that Nick gave her his most precious belonging for her was unbelievable.  Sam didn’t want to keep the hoodie that she knew meant so much to Nick, but he wouldn’t let her take it off.  Strangely she felt like she knew this hoodie from somewhere.  She just couldn’t place her finger on it-

Suddenly there was a howl that came from behind them.  A man came rushing toward them.  Nick quickly put himself between the stranger and Sam.  The man came up to them and Nick got a better look at him.  He was covered in what looked to be a bad case of sun burn.  Nick suddenly recognized him as the buggy Angelica swallowed for escaping.  His skin was bright red as some places were more burnt then the rest.  In fact it was a lot worse up close.  He was already dissolving and looked to be missing some fingers.  His face was a mess.

“HELP MEEEE!” You shouted as he was coming closer and closer.  Suddenly he started to shake and go into shock.  He fell into the acids and stopped moving.  There was a sizzling noise that could be heard coming from his unmoving corpse. 

“Nick…” Sam started.

“Shhh, it’s ok.  We won’t end up like that.”

“How long will it take to get out of here?”  Sam asked frightened.

“I’m working on it,” Nick said pacing around a little.  No sooner did he do this was there a gurgling sound and more acid poured into the stomach.  Suddenly the liquid was rising and covering more of them.  His shields were draining faster now and soon they would drop and it would really suck to be them.

“Nick!” Sam said panicky as the acids went up to their waist.

There was only one thing he could do now…

“Sam, I swore to you I would keep you safe right,” Nick said getting closer to keep her calm.  She nodded.  Nick looked her in the eyes as he saw her face start to calm down.  “Sam… I … I always liked you.”

“But I thought… why didn’t you say anything?”  Sam asked as the acid rose slowly.

“I guess I was too scared,” Giving her a sheepish look.  “I just wanted you to know that I-”

Before he could finish Sam kissed him.  Time stopped as Nick was caught off guard.  They didn’t stop kissing until the acid rose to their chest.  Only then did they break contact with their lips.  Nick pulled away and looked at Sam who was blushing.

“Not the best place for this is it?”

Nick had to fight back tears that he was feeling coming on due to what he had to do, “Yeah, Sam … thank you.”

“Come on Nick; let’s find a way out of here.”  Sam said trying to move but Nick stopped her.

“I did find a way out.  I just wanted you to know I love you,” Nick said giving her a quick kiss.

“What-” Sam said with a confused look in her eyes, and she suddenly vanished.  No sooner did Nick teleport her did his shield drop and the acid started to make his skin tingle.  He would give his life to keep her safe.  He just hoped that someday she forgive him for this mess he brought her into.  Completely out of power Nick put his back to the stomach wall which was starting to vibrate.  The ball of light was fading along with his strength as the stomach grew dark.  The acid was starting to bite into his skin…

Jasmine said thanks to Tracie who was still shouting at Annabel for what she did.  She headed toward her room to put Isaac and Ruth in a safe spot.  Turning her lights on she walked pass her dresser and heard a soft sobbing sound.  Confused she looked and to her shock found Sam in Nick’s hoodie curled up in a ball crying.

“Sam!”  Jasmine said causing Sam to stop for a moment and look at her.  “You’re alive!  I thought you and Nick were dead.  How did you get out of Angelica’s stomach?  Wait… where’s Nick?” 

Sam sobbed and said, “Nick’s… he didn’t make it.  He gave his life for me…”

Jasmine spent all night feeling horrible that she couldn’t save Nick.  What was worse was that she knew it was her fault that he died.  If she didn’t leave him and Sam out on her dresser Annabel wouldn’t have found them and Angelica wouldn’t have eaten them.  Sam told her that Nick sacrificed himself to save her.  She never explained how he did or how she got back but Jasmine could see that she was too upset to explain.  Even Isaac and Ruth couldn’t get her to talk to them. 

Jasmine eventually fell asleep but she couldn’t dream of anything other than Nick suffering and blaming her.  She saw the other buggies being killed but they all had Nick’s face or Sam’s all suffering and blaming it all on her.  There was a knocking on her door that woke her up from the nightmare.  It was time for school.  Jasmine didn’t feel like going back to that horrible place and she defiantly didn’t want to see Angelica or Annabel again.

Jasmine didn’t want to but she couldn’t leave Ruth, Isaac, and Sam home with her cat or have her parents find them.  She couldn’t lose another friend.  She had to take them to school with her to keep them from harm’s way.  Jasmine walked into class and sat down at her seat.  No sooner did she sit down did Annabel come in.  She walked over to Jasmine and said, “Jazzy… look I’m sorry about yesterday.”

Jasmine didn’t even look at her.  “No you’re not.  You don’t care about anyone but yourself.  Just leave me alone.”

Annabel didn’t say anything and left.  Jasmine still couldn’t believe that her best friend would betray her like this and steal her friends just so they could get into a club together.  Even if she was doing it for her, it was still a selfish thing for her to do.  And thanks to that selfishness she lost a good friend. 

Jasmine’s thoughts were disrupted by Angelica walking into class with some friends.  The moment she came into the room she looked directly at Jasmine and gave her a smirk.  She walked over to her seat, which just happens to be in front of Jasmine.  Turning around she looked back at Jasmine and said, “You know those buggies really hit the spot the other day.  I just have to thank you for the snack.”  She let out a laugh and turned around.

Jasmine was tempted to attack Angelica but the teacher walked in the moment she was about to grab Angelica’s hair.  Grinding her teeth, she settled down and tried to let her rage subside.  Hopefully Angelica was done teasing her. 

Sadly she wasn’t, all through class she would noises in class when the teacher wasn’t looking.  She would make, MMMM, sounds or turn around when the teacher was writing and rub her gut; but the one that really made Jasmine want to jump at her was when Angelica brought out a buggy and hung it over her mouth.  She gave Jasmine a devilish grin and swallowed it whole.  “Remind you of somebody?”  She let out a laugh and turned around.

Jasmine was appalled at what Angelica was doing.  Why would she tease her like this?  She never did anything to her.  Why the heck wasn’t the teacher catching her?  It was like the whole world was out to get her as no one said or did anything to stop the teasing she was getting from Angelica.  It was only first period too, it was going to be a long day.

Nick woke up with his body aching and was unable to move.  He was floating in a mucky like substance and being pulled along with it.  The feeling on his skin was atrocious.  His skin felt like it was on fire, yet it itched like a million bugs were tickling him.  It was like he had a horrible case of sun burn and someone rubbed poison ivy over it.  He probably would scratch at it if he could move.  Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, he couldn’t even move a finger.  His memory was foggy as memories started to come back to him.

Last thing he remembered was passing out due to the pain of the stomach acids burning into his skin.  Sadly his fast healing helped fix some of the damage … only to have it melted off and repeated.  His powers were automatically healing the damage, keeping him alive in this hellish burning furnace of acid.  Breathing was worse as the liquid would splash into his mouth and start to eat away from the inside.  Probably the worst part is that he didn’t need to breathe to live since his powers would help keep his cells alive without oxygen… although it felt like suffocating every agonizing second he didn’t have oxygen.  At one point he woke up at what he assumed was dinner cause there was the sound of objects splashing into the acid causing waves.  With more food in the stomach it started to produce more acid to digest the new food causing more pain.  So as Nick was being digested alive in a hellish state of healing and melting, with no oxygen to breathe except the gasses and acid like mist, Nick wished that he didn’t have his powers and just died instead which hasn’t happen yet.  Sadly he couldn’t turn of his powers; it was like him breathing or his heart pumping, it was all an automatic response that he couldn’t stop.

So as he lay in what he would guess is the small intestine he took another breath of gas that had no oxygen in it.  He felt his body trying to keep him alive, while he just wanted it all to end.  The nasty liquid filled up his mouth causing him to gurgle, unable to spit it out.  It was a horrible taste and the texture was starting to become thicker. 

Shit… was all he could think as he realized that was what was in his mouth right now.  Cringing at it, he prayed that his powers would run dry and he would finally find peace…

Jasmine had just about enough of Angelica’s teasing.  Luckily the day was finally over and Jasmine was walking home.  Annabel had to wait for her sister to finish practice but Jasmine didn’t want to be around Annabel.  Jasmine got home and came across her mom who was cleaning.

“Jasmine, I thought I told you to go home with Tracie?  I told you that it is dangerous to head home alone.”

“Sorry mom, I forgot.”  Jasmine said.

Jasmine’s mom let out a tired sigh, “Please try to remember.  There have been some dangerous people around and it would kill me if something happened to you.”

Jasmine knew how she would feel.  Her mom would feel the same way she was feeling right now.  Not wanting to have her mom worry about her she would get a ride home with Tracie next time.  Heading to her room she let Sam, Isaac, and Ruth out.  Isaac and Ruth seemed fine but Sam was still depressed.  She kept the hoodies’ hood up kind of like Nick.  She didn’t say a word as she walked over to a spot and sat down.  She pulled her legs up and stayed there not moving.  Jasmine tried to talk to her but she didn’t say anything.  Feeling just as depressed as Sam, Jasmine decided she would go do her homework in the kitchen.  Hopefully her mom made some snacks for her to share with everyone.

Sam felt like the world was moving around her in a daze.  Everything was blurry and unfocused as she barely made out what people were saying.  What was the point?  Everything that mattered was gone.  Nick was everything to her.  Not just the fact that he could get her home, but the fact that she cared about him and he’s gone.  Worse is the fact that she saw what that one tiny person looked like in the stomach acids and she kept seeing Nick like that.  He got her out of there safely but at what cost, his own life?  Why would he do that for her? 

Feeling her tears start to form she pulled her legs in tighter to her chest as she felt numb.  She would never be able to see Nick again.  The only thing she had that would remind her of him was his hoodie that she was wearing.  It smelled just like him and it gave off a warm feeling that made it seem like he was wrapped around him, something that will never happen again.  She could still feel him on her lips where they kissed.  Sobbing she quickly closed her eyes and tried not to think about what will never be again…

Now Nick was in deep shit… literally.  He had to be in the large intestines because now the liquid was more of a solid like substance and he was compacted in the mass.  It was a foul atrocious smell that Nick wanted to forget but couldn’t.  He couldn’t move even if he wanted to because the waste that surrounded him was pressing down with such force that he couldn’t really breathe.  It was strong too, almost like compacted mud.  Nick couldn’t help but gag at the thought. 

He was too weak to do much and the healing was slowing down.  Sadly his body was put through the worse and now that it was almost over, or at least he hoped, now his powers were at the red zone.  Any second the last of his strength will be gone and he will suffocate in a pile of shit inside of a little girl’s ass.  Nick didn’t know whether to be glad or mad.  Of all the fights and close to death experiences he had, he would end up dead due to a girl that wasn’t even half his age.  How messed up was-

Nick’s ranting was cut off by a gurgling sound that vibrated his entire world.  She had to go to the bathroom…

Angelica got home happier than she had ever been in her entire life.  Well maybe like second or third happiest day in her life.  She was able to tease Jasmine all day about her pet buggies.  She loved watching her suffered like that.  It served her right for being such a goodie two shoes. 

Skipping into the house Angelica started to hum to herself.  Her sister Courtney closed the door after she came in from driving her home.  She started to head up the stairs when Angelica stopped her.

“AHEM!  Courtneyyyyy,” She whined.  “I need youuuuuu.”

Courtney let out a long tired sigh.  She headed into the kitchen and said, “What.”

Angelica reached up on her tippy toes and tried to grab a jar that was easily out of her reach.  “Pleaseeeeee,” Angelica pleaded.

Courtney let out another tired sigh as she grabbed the jar of buggies.  The jar had about 10 buggies in it.  Courtney handed it to Angelica who let out an excited screech and ran into the family room to watch TV.  Courtney rolled her eyes at her and headed up stairs to her room.

Angelica sat down in front of the TV and turned it on.  She had a jar full of buggies in front of her and her favorite TV program was on.  Taking her hand she quickly shoved it into the jar and giggled with glee as the buggies ran away from her hand.  Buggies are so stupid, she thought as she picked up two of them and quickly squeezed them till they started to screech.  She loved that noise they made.  Without a second of hesitation she shoved them into her mouth and started to chew them up into a red bloody pulp.  After playing around with the bloody mess in her mouth she swallowed it with a loud gulp that caused the other buggies to shrink back from her further. 

Giggling at their reaction Angelica reached in for another buggy.  She picked one up and placed him down on the ground.  She looked up at the TV and paid the buggy no attention as she watched the show begin. 

Mark didn’t budge an inch.  Surely the giantess that just killed two of his friends would soon finish him off too any second.  But as the seconds turned to minutes it looked like she forgotten about him.  Quietly and unnoticeable Mark started to sneak away.  The giantess didn’t notice him as he took a couple of steps away from her.  Realizing that she must have forgotten him, he started to run.  No sooner did he move did he find a giant finger about the same size as him right in his face.  Mark had no time to react as the finger curled and sprung back in his face smashing into him, sending him flying across the carpet.

Angelica didn’t know how long the bug would wait to try and get away.  She was about to give up and kill it when she noticed that it was starting to move.  Grinning at its stupidity she waited until it thought it was free to bring her finger down in front of it.  She flicked the buggy and laughed with glee as she saw it fly across the carpet and land in a heap.  It was so pathetic that she almost felt sorry for it… ok not really. 

Mark couldn’t get up as it felt like he was hit by a stampeding elephant.  He finally crawled up on shaking legs to look up only to see the finger return for more fun.  Mark let out a shout for her to stop but the finger sprung forward again catching him in the center of his body and lifting him off his feet and sent him flying into the glass prison that he was stuck in just moments ago and bounced off of it.  Mark swore that his chest just collapsed as he couldn’t breathe after that impact.  He barely had time to prepare himself as the finger came back at him…

Angelica was watching TV and absent mindedly flicking the stupid bug around.  She had it just right where she could bounce it off the jar and have it in her finger’s reach.  She kept doing this over and over again as she watched TV.  About 15 minutes later a commercial popped up.  Bored with it she looked down at the buggy, or more like what was left of it.  The buggy wasn’t recognizable from what it looked like before she started to play with it.  It was now a bloody disfigured form of what it used to be.  Shrugging and bored she was about to flick one last time only to hear a wheezing gasp and wail.

Mark couldn’t breathe as he felt as though his lungs were damaged.  His arms wouldn’t move as well as his legs.  He couldn’t see anything but red due to his blood.  Mark could make out just the shape of the giantess about to finish his misery off with one more flick.  Suddenly the hand retreated.  Mark felt a rush of pain as he lay there cursing her for not finishing him off so he could have peace.  Suddenly the giantess moved in closer as to inspect him.  She looked down at him; he could barely make out her twisted smile.  Suddenly there was a loud noise sounding like someone clearing their throat.  There was a disgusting sound of a liquid being swished around and then more sounds of clearing of the throat.  Mark figured out what was about to happen and let out a cry of mercy when he heard the giantess spit out a giant wade of saliva and snot she had built up in her mouth.  A giant ball of liquid smashed into him covering his body as he felt the slimy liquid ooze over him and seeping into his wounds.  He took a breath only to swallow a mouth full of disgusting slime that made him shudder and try to get some air.  Unable to move or get air Mark could only drown in the thick liquid that was produced from the evil giantess, while he heard her laughing at him…

Angelica hocked up the biggest loogie ever.  She watched as the buggy twiched and let out air bubbles.  She enjoyed watching her spite smother out the life of that disgusting buggy.  Satisfied of what she did, Angelica got up to clean up her mess.  Heading to the kitchen she reached for some paper towels.  While grabbing some, she was thinking of what to do with the other 7 buggies when her stomach made a rumble sound signaling she will need to go to the bathroom soon…

Letting out a wicked laugh, she knew what to do.  She hadn’t been able to do that in a long time.  She almost forgot about the last time she played with her buggies like that.  Opening a couple of drawers she found what she was looking for.  Grabbing it, she quickly returned to the living room and looked at the other buggies that were all scarred out of their minds.  Quickly she cleaned up her mess so she wouldn’t get into trouble with her mom.  Done cleaning up the buggy on the floor she threw it away and quickly picked up the jar of buggies.  Turning off the TV she left the family room and headed to the buggies final destination… the bathroom.

Jamie held her head into her hands as the giantess dashed away with everyone in the jar away from where she killed Mark.  Jamie couldn’t believe that this was happening.  Sure giants and giantess kill them in sick twisted ways but this was absurd.  Finally the jar was placed down in a bright white room and the sound of a door slamming shut made her jump.  Looking around she found out that they were in a bathroom.  Confused on why they were brought her she looked up at the giantess who only smiled and started to hum.  She then placed a package off to the side where Jamie couldn’t see exactly what it was.  Jamie looked up and to her horror she saw the giantess get an evil smirk and locked eyes with her.

Jamie couldn’t help but show her fear as the giantess said, “You will do.”  The giantess’ hand dipped into the jar and went straight for Jamie.  She couldn’t get away as the hand wrapped itself around her and brought her out of her safe glass prison and out into the open to be at the wrath of this giantess.  “You know I have never tired this before, but I saw someone else do it and it looked like she enjoyed it,” The giantess said with anticipation.  Jamie just stood there shaking as she felt the evil intent of this little/giant girl, and her sick joy she took from harming people like her.  Jamie had no doubt that she will die, she just hope it would be quick.

The giantess reached over and picked up the package.  She had her back to Jamie as she could hear the package being open as the giantess prepared whatever she had planned for her.  Jamie looked for a place to run, there was nowhere for her to go.  The only place would be down-

The giantess turned around before Jamie could move.  The evil gleam in her eyes intensified.  She started to giggle as she picked up Jamie in one hand and brought her other hand over toward her.  Jamie could see what was in her hand.  In the giantess’ hand were 3 of the same objects.  The objects looked to be pointed pills that were slightly smaller than her.  The giantess was going to eat her with some pills?  Jamie closed her eyes and waited for her to be shoved into her mouth with the three pills.

It never happened instead the giantess combined her with her other hand so she was with the pills.  Using her free hand she started to pick up the pills and place them on top of her.  Jamie was smashed up against two pills to her left and right and one behind her.  The instant the pills touched her she knew something was wrong.  The pills were sticky and covered with a weird substance.  The giantess laughed when she was done and gave her a wicked smile.  She placed Jamie down on the sink top laying down so she couldn’t get up with the weird object stuck to her.  The giantess then took out a jar of weird looking goo that read, KY Jelly.  The giantess dipped her fingers into the jelly and started to swathe her up in it.

“Just in case,” She said in a sing song voice.  Jamie didn’t know what she was going to do until she heard an unzipping sound and she saw the giantess pull down her lower clothing…

Jamie screamed out as she realized that there were only two places she was heading and neither of them would be good for her.  The giantess giggled again.  She picked up Jamie and brought her toward her final destination… the giantess rear end.

Jamie kept screaming and struggling but it didn’t stop her from being pressed up against the portal that will lead her to her demise.  Jamie shut her mouth so she wouldn’t have to taste the foul taste of ass when her head was rubbed up against the hole.  There was some resistance and the hole wouldn’t budge.  Thanking whatever higher power that was saving her life from being-

There was a sudden inhale from the giantess and Jamie was shoved deep into the dark depths of hell…

Angelica felt the resistance as she never did anything like this before.  She took suppository laxatives once, but never 3 and a buggy.  She was about to give up when she decided to try harder.  To her joy it worked and got to send the buggy up her butt.  Retracting her finger she danced a dance of joy at her success.  Next for her plan was to get the other buggies prepared for their part of her fun game…

Jamie was trapped in a hellish nightmare as everything was warm, sticky, and smelled of … well she didn’t want to think about it.  The walls of the large intestines dragged her along with the pills that were still attached to her deeper into the bowels of the giantess.  After a few moments the pills started to melt and dissolve covering Jamie in a slimy liquid which dripped off and landed on the intestinal walls.  It didn’t take long until all the pills were gone allowing Jamie to move.  Standing up Jamie started to walk around feeling along the wall of the intestines when she heard a low rumble.  Unsure of what it was she stopped and listened.  Suddenly the walls around her started to vibrate and shake violently.  There was a muffled noise coming from outside of the giantess that sounded like a moan of pain. 

Jamie didn’t like what was happing and feared that something bad was about to happen.  She took one step and stepped into something sticky.  She cursed as she tried to pull her leg out of the mysterious substance.  Suddenly the walls vibrated more violently like an earthquake.  Jamie tried and tried to pull her leg out of the mess only to find that it was stuck like she was trapped in some kind of muddy substance that wouldn’t let go.  That’s when she felt it.  There was a warm liquid that ran into her legs and past her in a constant stream.  The liquid gave off a horrible odor and felt slushy.  The flow continued to rise and grow in force as she realized that it wouldn’t slow down.  Suddenly the growling and gurgling grew and the liquid rose up to her chest.  Screaming and cry Jamie desperately tried to remove her foot.  Finally she pulled her foot out of the muck and tried to move.  There was a deafening noise like a monster roaring in the distance that grew louder.  She could barely make out the giant wall of liquid mush rushing toward her.  Opening her mouth to scream she was instantly washed away before she could make a sound…

Angelica dumped all the buggies into the toilet.  She just felt her gut already turning and couldn’t wait to go poop.  She did this twice before but never with so many laxatives and never with so many buggies.  She sat down on the toilet and started to pee.  When she was done, she continued to sit on the toilet and let the medicine take full effect.  She started to swing her legs and hum a tune that was stuck in her head.  Suddenly she felt a pressure build up and make its way through her intestines.  With a load moan she felt it reach its destination.  Angelica could barely hear the cries of the buggy in her gut as she felt the mass reach the area where she last felt it.  Angelica was glad she had a large meal that last couple of days.  Grinning she knew it was time and without further delay she pushed with all her might and felt her bowels explode…

Kevin didn’t know who had it worse them, or Jamie who was shoved up this fucked up giantess ass.  Unable to stop what was about to happen he and the other 6 were quickly dumped into the toilet and their world was sealed off by the butt that landed on top of the seat.  It wasn’t long before there was a hissing sound and a stream of liquid poured out and hit the water.  Sadly someone was right beneath it and was quickly killed from the pressure of the pee stream.  Whatever was left of him was obliterated from the strong force.  The water they were in was starting to turn yellow and heat up.  The pee stream ended as quickly as it started only leaving them all in a small whirlpool left from the giantess’ bladder.

Kevin was in the middle of the toilet and didn’t like where he was.  He started to swim toward the outside of the bowl.  Everyone else was separated around different parts of the bowl in the water.  A woman was near where he was but she made no effort to try and escape.  She started to say she was too scared to move.  There was some commotion above him but the giantess didn’t move much other than to get more comfortable on her throne.  Suddenly there was a loud moan and grunting.  There was a loud trumpet sound from above.  Everyone looked up but Kevin; he knew exactly what was going to happen and would not stop and end up like everyone else will.

The sound grew louder and then softer, then it turned to a wet sound… then it happened.  Kevin just made it out of the water near the back of the toilet when he looked up after the sound stopped.  The hole opened wide and a down pour of brown liquid shot out of the entrance of hell.  The liquid fell right where the woman was who was screaming.  She was instantly silenced when the liquid splashed into the yellowish water.  The liquid hit the water and enveloped her, hopefully killing her.  The brown waterfall exploded out and went everywhere.   The sounds and smells were revolting as everyone tried to get away.  There was screaming and crying as one by one they were all quickly swallowed up and enveloped by the brown liquid mass.  Some of the unfortunate were still alive when they were swept up and dragged back toward the epicenter of the shit storm from the riptide.  They were brutally dragged down like someone caught in a whirl pool.  Eventually the giantess ran out of excrement to release and slowly stopped her torture of them… or whoever was left, which was just him.  Kevin was safe up on the white porcelain of the toilet, but not scaved.  He and the rest of the toilet were covered in the brown muck that seemed to have no end.  Finally after a couple of whips the giantess got up off the toilet and looked into the bowl.  She let out a devilish laugh and then gaged and covered her nose only to laugh again.  Suddenly she stopped and took a closer look right at Kevin…

Angelica couldn’t help but laugh at the disgusting after math of her toilet torture.  That was until she saw one buggy still alive.  Really, she thought.  “Well I guess 9 out of 10 is fine.”  She grabbed a roll of toilet paper and dangled it in front of the buggy. “Unless you want to be flushed I suggest you grab on.”

Kevin didn’t know if it were a trick or not, but deciding living to have a chance to escape is better than flushed down a toilet with the rest of her shit.  Quickly he grabbed the white paper and dangled over the brown swampy like water below him.  He was hanging right over the center when suddenly he stopped.  He looked up with horror in his eyes to see the giantess’ other hand clutch her gut.

“Ops, looks like I’m not done,” She said with a giggle.

Suddenly the paper dropped in the center and Kevin landed in the dead center of the smelly swampy waste.  Kevin shouted out for her to take pity but was sickened by the giantess looming butt.

There was a grunting sound and Kevin looked up to see a giant pillar of poop slowly crawl out from above.  It slowly decided as he heard grunting from above.  How can she do this?!  raced through his mind along with, how much does she eat?  Finally the pillar of death hung above his head barely touching his head, swaying back and forth.  There was a small gap of little shining in from the front of the toilet only to grow as the giantess looked into the bowl.

“Really, come on…” and started to hop up and down on the seat.  After the third bounce the log broke and smashed into Kevin dragging him to the bottom of the toilet where he will meet his fellow tinies… 

Angelica felt great after reliving herself.   She swore she must have lost at least 10 pounds after that.  Laughing at her joke she wiped her butt.  She would have to remember to do this more often.  Washing her hands she heard a pounding on the door.

“Angelica you have been in there for like 10 minutes hurry up and get out.”

Angelica opened the door and skipped past her sister Courtney.  “It’s all yours sis,” She said with a giggle and quickly ran to her room and shut the door.  Courtney walked in and waved her hand in front of her face.  It smelled like something died in here.  Quickly she spread some air freshener and went to take a leak only to see what was causing the smell.  Cursing out loud she quickly shouted.

“I SWEAR ANGELICA IF YOU DO THIS ONE MORE TIME I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!”

There was a burst of laughter that could be heard from her room and through the bathroom door.  Angelica never flushed.  It was like she took joy in making her sick.  Who doesn’t flush after their done going to the bathroom?  Shuddering and holding her noise Courtney went to flush the revolting sludge when something caught her eye…

Nick was still stuck in the waste when there was the sound Angelica’s gut gurgling and growling.  Suddenly the mass started to move faster and he knew that she was reliving herself.  Running on fumes with his powers, Nick prayed that he died before falling into the toilet, because there was no way he would live when Angelica flushed the toilet.  After a little while he stopped moving through the large intestines.  Nick was starting to fade as he couldn’t stay alive any longer.  Any second he would suffocate…

Then the mass started to move again and then there was a blinding light and fresh air.  Nick took a deep breath only to gag at the smell.  It was 10x worse than what he had to deal with the past day or however long he had been trapped in Angelica’s gut.  Completely blind from the light it took Nick a few seconds to see what was going on.  By the time his sight came back his decent stopped.  He was dangling half way between Angelica’s butt and an ocean of brown crap.  He was imbedded into the log like a piece of undigested food.  Suddenly there was a vibration as his entire world shook.  It happened again and then again; on the third time he started to fall through the air.  Taking a deep breath of foul air he braced himself for the impact into the water… or what was left of the water in the toilet bowl.  He landed with a sickening sound and felt the liquid goo rush over him. 

He sank and sank until it stopped.  Not opening his eyes, Nick knew he had to get out before he was flushed.  Using what little strength he had he tried to break free of his prison.  He couldn’t even move his fingers. 

NO! He shouted in his head as he used all of the strength he had in his body to move.  Still it did nothing.  Feeling his air running low Nick did the only thing he could, try again.  Thrashing and moving as much as he could he jerked and squirmed around as if his life depended on it; this time Nick felt his prison give a little and then suddenly break.  Rushing to the surface, he broke free and took a deep breath of what he hopped was oxygen.  Looking up he saw Angelica leave the bathroom.  Well at least he won’t have to worry about being flushed he thought.

He heard another giantess banging on the door a conversation Nick couldn’t hear.  It wasn’t because his ears couldn’t pick it up; it was because Nick was too tired to understand any of it.  Then it struck Nick he was slowly sinking into the muck.  Laughing inside he couldn’t help but see the irony to all this.  He survived digestion, suffocating, almost drowning, not being flushed; but now he was going to sink into the smelly mush after coming so far.  He felt his neck get submerged.  It was only time before… there was a giantess’ face that came into view.  There was a look of complete disgust as she was about to flush when her face turned to one of complete shock.

“Are you alive,” She asked.

Nick couldn’t say anything from being too thirsty from lack of water.  He simply lifted his arm slightly up out of the waste and dropped it.  Now he was up to his chin.  Any second now he was going to be completely submerged.

“Wow you survived all this… which means you’re pretty strong…” her eyes lit up for a second then her face contorted into a look of debating something. 

To Nick’s disgust he was up to his mouth.  Luckily none of it entered his sealed lips, but he had to breathe through is noise… yeah it sucked. 

“Umm, I can’t believe I’m going to do this.  Ew, Ew, Ew, Ew,” She muttered as she quickly reached into the toilet and fished Nick out.  The giantess then practically flung him into the sink where he landed with a sickening splat like sound due to the liquid covering him splattered in the sink basin. 

Courtney had to decide either to flush the buggy down the toilet or save it.  Time was running out and quickly Courtney deiced to save the buggy.  Disgusted at what she had to do she quickly reached in and grabbed the buggy.  It was disgusting!  Quickly she dropped the buggy in the sink, flushed the toilet, washed her hands and the buggy, went to the bathroom, and then rewashed her hands and thoroughly washed the buggy.  She hoped she wasn’t too rough on the little guy; when she finally finished with washing him.  Looking at the buggy she noticed that it passed out in her hand.  Hoping she didn’t misjudge the little thing; she carried it back to her room where she placed it where she always kept her buggies.  She sure hopped she found the right buggy.  A strong and durable buggy…

Nick came awake with a killer head ache, an extremely sore body, and a dry throat.  Nick tried to speak but it came out as a dry whisper.  That’s when he noticed that he was in a pitch dark room with no light what so ever.  Sitting up he let out a weak moan as his body feel like it was about to fall apart.  His brain did back flips in his head as he felt dizzy.  Sitting in the dark he recalled all the events leading up to now.  The last thing he remembered was him tumbling through the air and landing in the sink and blacking out.

Any energy Nick had left before he blacked out was gone.  While he was passed out his body used the last of its strength to heal him.  Some parts of his body Nick could tell weren’t fully healed.  His left leg itched a little and when Nick went to scratch, he felt his leg was still damaged to the stomach acids and hadn’t healed all the way.  His back he knew must be covered in a large bruise due to the impact with the sink.  Eventually he would be back to normal but it might take a day or two.

With nothing to do Nick sat there in the dark and meditated in order to collect himself.  It wasn’t long before Nick heard voices.  There was a muffled voice that he assumed was a female’s,  getting closer.  There was the sound of a door closing and then there was a slight tremor as footsteps grew closer.  Suddenly there was a jerking motion and Nick went tumbling forward and landed face first into the ground.  He looked up and realized that he was in drawer of some kind.  The face of the giantess that saved his life looked down at him.  She had a look that said finally, which means he must have been out for a while and has been waiting for him to wake up.

Courtney looked down at the buggy.  She thought it was dead by how long it hadn’t moved.  She reached in and picked up the buggy and brought it to her face.  It was looking better than before after she saved it.  “Finally, I didn’t think you would ever get up,” she said rhetorically.

The buggy moved its right arm to its face and did a tilting motion.  Right it must be thirsty.  Luckily she had some water with her.  She dipped her finger into a bottle of water and held her finger out for it to take the water off her finger tip.  The buggy drank the droplet of water as she tilted the bottle of water and took a big gulp herself.

“Thank you,” the buggy said.

Courtney practically chocked on the water at the shock of the buggy speaking.  “Did you just… “

The buggy nodded its head.

“Ohhh, you’re that buggy that my sister was talking about…” Courtney said snapping her finger as she tried to remember something.  “You’re the one she ate that belong to somebody named… Jasmine?  Yeah that’s her name.  So she really trained you to talk,” She asked leaning closer.

Nick wasn’t sure what to say to that.  He wasn’t certain he should have said anything but judging on the fact that she saved him she couldn’t be that bad.  Now he wasn’t so sure, but she did remember Jasmine’s name so she might be his ticket back to Sam.

“You wouldn’t happen to have any food on you right now would you,” Nick asked.

“Food?” Courtney asked dumbfounded.

“Yeah, something that I can eat, I haven’t had anything to eat in a while and could use some food and some more water,” Nick demanded.

She gave Nick a stern look, “Excuse me?  Just because you can talk doesn’t mean you can speak to me like that.”  Courtney said harshly. 

Nick quickly changed his demeanor.  Things were starting to turn ugly quick.  “Sorry,” Nick apologized.  “I’m just hungry, thirst, tired, and I’m still hurt from being digested.  I have been having a horrible week and didn’t mean to come off like a jerk.  I’m really sorry…?” Nick said drawling it out to get her name.

Courtney gave Nick a pompous look, “I forgive you, and my name is Courtney by the way.  As for some food I can get some,” She said put Nick down and filling the cap of the water bottle with water, “Don’t go anywhere I’ll be right back.”  She left the room leaving Nick to contemplating how to go about asking for help from Courtney.  Her reactions were giving Nick a bad feeling about her.  Hopefully she wasn’t like her sister…

Courtney came back with part of a bagel with cream cheese on it; she handed some of it to the buggy, while she ate the rest of the bagel.  “So, how’d she do it?” Courtney questioned Nick with a mouthful of bagel.  Nick was too busy scarfing down the food and drink to answer right away.  Taking another bite and sip of water he finally swallowed and was about to comment when Courtney gave him an angry look.  “I asked you a question buggy,” She said firmly.

“Sorry,” Nick apologized realizing that this was what he feared.  She may seem nice at first but under that she had a demanding personality.  Nick made a quick note to try and keep her from turning her anger out on him.  “I’m not really sure, it just happened.  One day I started to understand,” Nick lied.  Not much point in telling her much about him.  On one hand it could mean her helping him more compliantly, or she might realize that he was more special and try and use his powers for her own.  Trying to turn the conversation to his advantage, “Speaking of Jasmine, do you think you could get me to her,” Nick asked.

Courtney placed the rest of the bagel in her mouth and started to chew it up.  She finished and swallowed the mouthful and said, “I guess I could…”

“Really?  That’s great-” Nick started to say until she stopped him.

There was the sound of a door slamming shut and someone shouting, “MOMMY!”  The voice of Angelica made Nick shudder a little; ironic that a man with unimaginable power is easily frightened by a little girl calling for her mom.

“Hold on I need to go say hi to my mom,” Courtney said.  She went to leave her room then turned around and came back for Nick.  Without saying anything she picked up Nick and placed him back where he was, inside her nightstand.  When Courtney closed the nightstand, Nick could do nothing but let out a tired sigh.  At least he got some food and had a quick chat with her.  Also he got to see a calendar while he was outside of his prison.  There were 2 bright red X marks on Tuesday and Wednesday.  It looked to be Thursday; he had been asleep for 2 days since he passed through Angelica’s digestion system.  Hopefully he wouldn’t go through that trip again.

Courtney went downstairs to say hi to her mother.  Her sister was already there chatting away about her day.  Courtney got a quick hello in before heading back upstairs but was stopped by her mom asking her to help cook.  Unable to say no, she helped her mother cook dinner.

After making and eating the food, Courtney had to do the dishes also.  When she was finally done it was late in the night and she went to go get ready for bed.  She brushed her teeth and went to her room to get some sleep.  Well, that is after she used the buggy to please her sexual desires that is.  She was already starting to feel aroused as she started to think of a sexual fantasy she thought up in school.  She came up with the fantasy after she came across Paul in the hallway and he gave her a warm smile and said hello.  Courtney blushed and said hi back.  When she got to class she imagined them meeting differently with Paul asking her to skip and head to the bathrooms to fuck. 

Courtney couldn’t help but feel excited as she practically jumped into her bed, pulled the sheets back, and went for her newest play thing.  Opening the drawer she looked down in it to find the buggy asleep.  Courtney went to pick him up when she stopped.  Looking at the buggy she couldn’t help but feel a sense of affection building. 

Pausing she continued to look at the peaceful buggy sleeping without a care in the world.  She never thought of buggies more than just play things or food, but this one… was different.  Was it because it could talk?  No, it couldn’t be that.  Courtney bit her lip debating what to do.  Should she wake the buggy to please herself or let it sleep?  She wouldn’t have this debate if it was another buggy she was sure of that, so why was this one different?  Telling herself that it was nothing she looked at the clock and told herself she might as well get some sleep instead.

Shrugging it off she quickly lay down in her bed and started to go to sleep.

Courtney woke up to her alarm going off.  Turning it off, she got up and prepared for the day.  Picking up her book bag and shoes she was about to leave her room when her door opened.

“Courtney, hurry up, I don’t want to be late,” Her sister said demandingly and then left her room.

Courtney let out a sigh.  She was getting really tired of everyone pushing her around.  Taking a deep breath she calmed herself.  She wasn’t going to let her sister ruin her Friday.  Last day of the week for school and then she will be back home to do whatever she wanted.  Talking to herself Courtney said, “I’m going to have a great day.”

 Courtney was leaving her science class and was heading to the lunch room when she stopped in the hall way.  She held her breath as Paul was there walking in the opposite direction.  Courtney didn’t dare breath in fear of offending him in some way.  As he got closer his eyes locked with hers and he gave her a kind smile.  Courtney blushed and looked down at her feet until he was gone.  Red in the face Courtney couldn’t help but think about what just transpired.  Paul smiled at her again!  Feeling gigged over the fact that Paul noticed her; she started to walk forward when a group of girls snickered.  It was a group of girls from her grade.

Pausing Courtney looked over at them as they whisper and started to giggle.  The leader of the group was a red headed girl, Becky that Courtney didn’t know personally.  She sauntered up to Courtney while the others followed.  Courtney didn’t know what to do and before she knew it they encircled her.

“I don’t know what you’re smiling about,” Becky sneered.  “Do you really think Paul likes you?”

Courtney didn’t say anything as she tried not to look at them.  One of the girls laughed at her and said, “How could he like something like you.”

Courtney didn’t say anything as she felt tears forming but she quickly pushed them back.  If she cried now they would just rip into her. 

“I mean no offense but look at your hair style, and your clothing, and don’t get me started on your eyes.”

Courtney couldn’t help it now.  She felt the cold liquid streaming down her eyes as the insults continued on and on until Courtney ran passed them.  She quickly headed into the bathroom and went to a stall.  Sitting on the toilet she let the tears flow as she cried over the cruel things that were said.  She felt something died inside her due to the embracement that she took.  Feeling her anger swell she was ready to lash out at anyone or anything…

Nick sat in the drawer as he woke up at some time he wasn’t sure when.  He never really slept much unless he was injured.  As much as he wanted it to be that he really didn’t need to sleep, he knew the fact that sleeping helped him recharge his powers faster.  Unfortunately he usually dreamed, and those dreams were always bad.  It was why he never slept anymore, unless he was passed out like the last couple of times.

Stretching he felt that now he was finally healed all the way and had a little more strength back then he should have.  Odd, Nick thought.  His powers were returning faster than any other time that he was here.  It wasn’t charging back as fast as if he was back home, but still faster.  Maybe he was getting used to this different world or maybe it was something in the air that he built up his immunity to it.  Whatever it was he didn’t care as long as it meant that he could get back to-

There was a sound of a door slamming shut and an angry stomping noise.  Of course he was small so everything sounded loud so maybe it wasn’t anything to worry about, Nick thought.  Suddenly the drawer flew open knocking Nick on his butt.  Looking up Nick felt all his hope die.  The girl from yesterday didn’t seem so bad.  Of course she seemed a bit concede or pompous but kind at least.  However the girl that he was looking at now was completely different.  It wasn’t just the look on her face, which was one of pure anger and hate; she glared at him and she looked like she wanted to break something… something like him.  She also oozed an aura of hate and anger but also of sadness hidden behind it all.  Nick could tell something bad happened to her.

“Courtney is everything ok-” Nick asked but was quickly cut off by her grabbing him harshly and squeezing him.  Nick felt something shift in his shoulders but nothing broke.

“Shut up,” She hissed at him.  “Don’t you dare use that name.  Don’t you dare speak to me.  Do you understand,” She practically growled.

Nick didn’t say anything until she squeezed harder making him gasp in pain.

“ANSWER ME!” She barked at him.

“I ... understand…” Nick wheezed.

“When addressing me you may call me mistress, no goddess.” 

Nick just nodded not wanting to say anything.  What ever happened in school brought out her dominating side to her.  It was there when Nick meet her but wasn’t that overpowering of her personality.  Now she was showing Nick her dark side.

“Now let’s see how durable you really are,” Courtney opened her palm and grabbed Nick’s left arm.  She started to tug on it gently and then applied more and more stress to it.  Finally there was a sickening popping noise and Nick let out a howl of pain.  Courtney had an interested look on her face.  “Wow you are strong.  I didn’t think it would break.”

Rolling in her hand Nick did his best to ignore the pain as he used his right hand to shove the arm back into its socket.  Nick let out low growl as the pain shot up his arm and started to go away.  Looking back at Courtney, Nick saw an evil gleam in her eyes.  His torture was just beginning.

Sam heard Jasmine enter the room but didn’t look up.  Isaac and Ruth were still next to her trying to get her to talk but Sam didn’t feel like talking.  In fact she didn’t feel like talking ever again.  Her entire world was destroyed; she will never see her friends, family, or anything else that she loved ever again.

“Are any of you hungry,” Jasmine asked.  Isaac and Ruth both shook their heads, but Sam said nothing.  “Ok, I’m going to go have a snack and bring some back just in case.”  With that being said she left the room.

“Sam, you haven’t eaten anything in days,” Ruth said concerned.

When Sam didn’t reply Isaac snapped, “Damn it, say something!”

“Isaac!” Ruth shouted at him.

“No, she’s been like this for too long.  Look Sam I know you lost someone important to you but you can’t stay this way.  You’re going to kill yourself.  You said that Nick saved your life so then live your life for him.  By killing yourself you’re killing him all over again.”

Sam looked at him with rage, how dare he use Nick’s death against her.  Standing up she glared at him, “You have no idea what I’m feeling right now.  I watched Nick give his life for me.  Not only that I also lost my family, home, EVERYTHING!  You have no idea what I’m feeling right now.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Isaac replied quietly, Sam almost didn’t hear it.  “When we were kids, I got to watch as my family got tortured to death in front of me.  I got to listen to their cries as I hid from those monsters.  I lost my mom, dad, and little brother.  The only ones that didn’t die were Ruth and I.  I felt like giving up but I swore to them that I would keep Ruth alive no matter what.”

“Sorry, I didn’t know,” Sam said.

“I didn’t know Nick, but I could tell he wouldn’t want you to be like this.  You need to move on no matter how bad it hurts, because as long as your alive so is he.”

Sam felt like crying but she held them back, “Your right.  Nick wouldn’t want me to be sad.”  She let out a laugh as she remembered something.  “I remember this one time when we were kids, I scraped my knee and I started to cry.  He ran back inside his house looking for a band aid but couldn’t find one so he ran to the store which was a couple of blocks away.  By the time he got back he was out of breath and had some scape marks on him.  He said he was chased by some dogs on the way back.  I asked why he went so far for me and he told me that ‘he would do whatever it took to keep me from crying’.”

Sam felt a little better.  She still hurt but now she accepted that he was gone.  It was her job now to not tarnish Nick’s death by giving up.  Almost on cue Jasmine came back with a small plate of cheese and crackers.

“Anyone want some food,” Jasmine asked.

“I would love some,” Sam said.

A smile crept across Jasmine’s face but she didn’t say anything as she placed the plate down for them all to share the snack together.

Nick let out a howl again as Courtney twisted his leg all the way around.  There was a sickening noise and then Nick couldn’t feel anything from his right leg.  Nick felt his vision start to fade but fighting through it Nick held fast.  No telling what she would do if he passed out on her now.  Looking up at her, he saw an evil gleam in her eyes.  She was enjoying this.  Courtney sat on her bed crossed legged and held Nick in her palm, with nothing but her underwear on.  He held her gaze for a few seconds and realized he messed up.  She didn’t like to be looked at so defiantly and she narrowed her eyes at him.  Next thing Nick knew there was a hocking sound coming from above him.  You have to be-

A giant glob of spit flew through the air and splashed all over Nick’s upper body covering his head and chest in the wet liquid.  Nick shuddered at the feeling and realized that the liquid stuck fast to him.  Trying desperately to get out of the liquid Nick tried crawling away from where he was.  Suddenly a giant finger came crashing down and pined to Nick’s chest.  Nick grunted as he felt the weight of this one finger trying to pulverize his chest.  Trying not to breath, Nick held his breath for as long as possible hoping that Courtney would get bored of this soon; she didn’t.  Nick involuntary inhaled and got a mouth full of saliva and started to choke on it.  Nick heard the laughter coming from Courtney as she watched him drown in her spite.  Just as everything started to fade he heard her say, “Oh no you don’t.  You have a lot more swallowing to do.”

She quickly wiped away just enough spite to let him breath but left the rest of the liquid stay on his chest. 

“Ok enough foreplay,” She said as she started to open her legs.  She dropped Nick down on the mattress and proceeded to open her legs further.  She arched her back and pulled her underwear off.  When she lay back down on her bed Nick was staring her bare lower reign. 

Oh lord… Nick thought.  Quickly he tried to talk his way out of it, “Court-“ He stopped himself as she gave him a look that dared him to complete what he was about to say.  “I mean goddess.  I know you told me to never speak to you but, surely you wouldn’t want an … insect like me to do what I think you want done.”

“Nice try, but that won’t work on me,” she said tauntingly.  She scooted closer to Nick so that she was his entire world.  “I play with all my buggies like this.  Why should you be any different?”

“Please mistress,” Nick said pleadingly.

For a second Courtney paused and the look on her face changed, she was hesitant. 

Courtney’s conscious broke through her anger and realized what she was about to do.  Did she really want to do this to Nick?  Suddenly she realized that she called the buggy by its name.  That right there made her pause and reconsider what she was about to do. 

Sadly the events of the day came back and all the concern in her died as she felt the humiliation she received today wash over her.  Rage filled her as she sneered down at the pathetic buggy. 

“They didn’t have any mercy on my, why should I have some for you?”

“Please mistress, my goddess, tell me what happened-”

“SHUT UP!”  She hissed at Nick causing him to stop.  “You’re like the rest of them!  You don’t care about me you just want to use me or insult me.  We will see who gets the last laugh,” Courtney said evilly as she brought her hand down and pushed Nick forward to her awaiting hole.

Nick leaned on his good leg as his other injured lag hung limply.  When he felt the pressure on his back he stumbled forward and put his arms out to stop from falling face down into the mattress.  Sadly Nick’s arms happened to touch Courtney’s awaiting hole, which greeted him with a wet sucking sound.  His arms started to sink in and with a panic Nick tried to pull them out.  There was more pressure on his back as Courtney practically shoved him into her await pussy.  Taking a deep breath Nick was shoved head first deep into the dark pink cave.  The environment brought back horrifying memories of Angelica’s stomach: the heat, the wetness, and the darkness were all the same.  The only difference was that unlike Angelica’s stomach the liquid didn’t burn, also unlike the stomach the walls where trying to crushing him into a goo pulp, and the smell.  Where Angelica’s stomach there was the smell of throw up and bologna sandwich, Courtney’s cavern gave off a musky smell.  Nick had barely been in Courtney’s lower body when her vaginal muscles started to contract and squeeze him.  He heard his elbow pop as a wall pressed down on him.

Nick buried the pain as he looked for the entrance or technically exit to this place.  Seeing some light he headed forward only to stop dead in his tracks seeing two fingers blocking the light.  “OH COME ON!”  Nick shouted, doubting Courtney could hear him over the moaning she started to make.  The fingers jabbed forward stabbing Nick in the chest and sending him flying deeper into the depths of Courtney.

Nick felt a rib break as his breathing became ragged.  The walls clasped down on Nick again and covered Nick in more liquid as it started to increase in viscosity.  The terror continued and Nick realized that it wouldn’t stop until one of two things happens: one he died or two she came.  Concentrating as best as he could for someone coming close to death… yet again; Nick let his powers surge and spread his arms out at the exact moment Courtney’s pussy walls clamped down again, and let his powers flow.

Courtney was doing her best to get off.  She felt the tiny buggy inside of her moving around.  Unlike the other times she was enjoying the fact that she was hurting it.  She kept contracting her muscles to bring it the most pain that she could.  Then suddenly she felt something weird.  There was a sudden tingling sensation deep down like she was about to have an orgasm.  The tingling sensation flew through her body and brought her great pleasure as the sensation brought her to the biggest climax she ever experience.  She gasped but couldn’t make a sound as her body was in complete bliss.  It lasted for what felt like forever and when she was done she couldn’t move a muscle.  She just laid there in a daze at what just happened.  When she could finally move she looked down and in a puddle of her juices she saw the buggy laying there.  At first she thought he was dead, but she saw his chest move.  She was glad she didn’t flush him down the toilet…

Nick lay in the puddle of sticky fluid as he recalled the last couple of moments.  He used his powers to flow through Courtney’s nerves and target her brain and to set off her pleasure sensory.  This would bring so much pleasure it should knock her out allowing him to escape.  All he had to do was- 

He noticed that she was moving slowly.  Crap, I didn’t use enough, he thought as she had a look of complete ecstasy on her face.

“Oh, that was great,” She said as she picked up Nick who let out a sharp exhale for her touching his injuries.  Either she didn’t care or didn’t notice.  “I don’t know how or why but you made me feel sooooo good.”  She put Nick back in the drawer and gave him a wink, “I’ll see you in a couple of hours, when I need someone to give me a good night kiss.”  She blew Nick a kiss and slammed the drawer shut.

“Great,” Nick said as he lay there.  He would have to go through this all over again.  His body was already healing his wounds.  His elbow was feeling better with just a dull pain, his leg was starting to get some feeling back, and his chest didn’t hurt too bad as it used to.  Hopefully he was healed before she got back so he could try and find a way out.  He didn’t know how long he could last…

2 days later…

Courtney was having the best weekend ever.  She had used her buggy so many times that she lost track.  She never though that she could ever feel so good but she was wrong, every time she did it with him it felt better and better.  She was getting addictive to the way she was climaxing.  She was running out of sheets and hopefully her mom didn’t notice that she was doing laundry a lot.  She just had dinner and was about to have some nightly fun with her buggy.  She pulled the sheets back and noticed something wrong.  Turning she saw that the drawer was open.  Fearing for the worst she quickly went over and looked into the drawer.

 “Nick,” She asked concerned and looked into the drawer and saw that he was still there looking tired.

“Oh thank goodness I thought my sister found you,” She said worried.

Nick had spent the past couple of hours ramming the drawer with his shoulder and moving it slightly.  He was just about to jump out and try to find a way out of Courtney’s room when she came in.  He had to catch his breath and was hoping that she didn’t see the drawer open.  When she looked in he was caught off guard to see her looking worried.  At first he thought that she was worried that she lost ‘her property’ but he sensed that it was more than that.

Courtney dipped her hand into the drawer and pulled him out and cuddled him to her chest.  Nick was completely caught off guard.  Unlike the other times where she would just pick him up and shove him deep inside her like some sex toy, she was acting concerned.

“You don’t really care,” Nick said making her paused.

“That’s not true I do care,” She said but was quickly cut off by Nick’s bitter laugh.

“Oh really, if you cared about me you wouldn’t have tortured me!”

Anger flared in her eyes but quickly died out as she gave him a saddened look.  Finally she said, “I’m sorry.”  Nick knew when someone was lying, she wasn’t.  “You don’t understand, I… You never had someone point out flaws and embrace you in front of everyone.  You never had someone insult you in your face as the person you like listens to it,” She said with tears in her eyes. 

When she finally stopped crying Nick looked up at her and said, “Your wrong.  I have had the same thing happen to me.”

“What?” She said looking confused.

“When I went to high school-”

“Buggies have schools?”

Nick didn’t say anything and she looked sheepish. “Sorry,” She apologized for cutting him off.

“I went through 4 years of name calling, pranks, and other horrible experiences.  They bullied me too but I never took it out on anyone.  I had to hold it back because I knew that if I lashed out I was no better than them.  I would become the monster that they were.”

“But you weren’t there,” She started to explain what happened to Nick. 

When she was done Nick said, “You can’t let them get to you.  They only hurt you because they feel insecure.”

“How are they insecure?”

Nick laughed, “Really?  They said you dress bad right?  You have a dress code, how can you dress bad if you all have to dress the same?”  Suddenly Courtney blushed now realizing how silly it was.  “Did they get Paul to notice them?  No, it was you.  They are jealous that he is into you and not them.  Courtney don’t ever let them hurt you.”

Courtney kissed Nick and started to cry, “Thank you, and I’m so sorry for what I did and-”

“Just… just don’t think about it.  What’s done is done.  If you really want to make it up for me, do you mind taking me to Jasmine tomorrow?”

“Oh…” Courtney started feeling a bit of jealousy for her buggy wanting to leave her.  But she realized that she should do the right thing; after all she did to him she could at least do this one favor.

“Yeah, sure I can do that,” She said kindly.  “But … um… Nick?”

“Hmm?”

“Well,” She said hesitantly.  “Umm, I’m sorry but do you mind… I have been feeling kind of … horny, and…” She said blushing.

Nick let out a deep sigh at her request.  He was going to deny her this but she could always force him to do it.  “Yeah, but this is the last time,” Nick said hating himself for being so weak. 

She gave him another kiss and said thank you.  As she got ready on her bed she opened her legs and Nick noticed something odd.  Looking at her lower lips, he realized that she was already ready.  She was sopping wet down there and he hadn’t even touched her yet.  That’s when it dawned on him.  It was his fault.  He got her hooked on his surge of power that he kept feeding her to get her off.  He caused her to crave him like some kind of addiction which is why she was so horny the past couple of days. 

Great, he thought.  He could fix it but he would have to give her a stronger amount of energy.  It was dangerous if he gave her too much it could cause her never to feel pleasure again or worse.  Preparing his mind and body for what he was about to do, he had to get ready to go deep inside the giantess.

Spreading open her lower folds he crawled inside of her as she made a soft moan.  The familiar environment that he experienced the pass couple of days welcomed him again.  If he was going to do this right, he need to be deep inside her so he would have time to please her fully before she pushed him out with her fluids.  It was always like a flood when she came.  It took Nick longer than expected because every once and a while she would have quick tremors as she had like mini climaxes.  Her juices would flow more than usual forcing Nick back a little bit more than he hoped.  Finally he came to the deepest part of her body, her cervix.  Preparing himself for the onslaught that was about to proceed Nick sent Courtney over the edge and him into hell…

Courtney could barely keep herself from fingering herself.  The buggy kept stimulating her, with every movement he made.  It was crazy how good it felt, but she knew that soon she was going to feel something a lot better.  Nick went deeper than he had ever gone before making Courtney let out a whimper at how good it felt.  Suddenly there was that familiar tingling glow inside her that started to grow.  Suddenly like an explosion she saw stars as her head reeled and her body was in heaven as she felt better than she ever did before.  Everything was flown out of her mind as she felt bliss, peace, and exhaustion all in one.  Without helping it she felt herself drift off into sleep as she barely pulled the sheets up, curled up, and pass out into a deep slumber.

Nick was almost out when all of a sudden the walls clamped down on him preventing him from moving.  It was difficult to breath, but not impossible.  Letting out a tired sigh he waited until Courtney would open her legs and let him out… minutes went by.  After 10 minutes Nick realized something was wrong.  Nick called out for Courtney; sadly it came as a whisper from his lips.  Fearing that he might have hurt he,r he tried to get free to check on her but was rewarded with nothing.  He stopped for a second to get a breath and heard Courtney breathing in a soft slow pace; she was asleep.  Oh good she’s asleep, Nick thought.  Wait asleep?!  She forgot about me?!  Nick felt rage and humiliation as he was completely forgotten between the giantess legs.  How dare she forget about him.  Trying once more Nick attempted to move but had little success.

Letting out an exhausted and angered sigh he lay there waiting for her to wake up or at least uncross her legs and let him go…

BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!

Courtney shot up and looked at her alarm clock.  Crap!  She was late.  She accidently sleep in through her alarm.  She barley had 10 minutes till class started and it took 9 ½ minutes to get to school.  The one time she needed her sister to wake her up.  Courtney leaped through the air and pulled her clothes on.  She needed to pee, but would be late.  She could wait until she got to class and got a pass to go to the bathroom.  As she quickly dress she remembered Nick.  Looking at the drawer she didn’t bother to open it.

“I’m sorry Nick I’m late I’ll get you to Jasmine tomorrow I swear,” Said hoping that he forgave her.

Running passed her sister who rolled her eyes and said, “Mom’s going to be mad that you made me late.”

Nick felt his world shudder and come to life.  There was rustling and movement and then the opening, which he was only a couple of inches away opened up and he could see light; he could see the outside world.  Suddenly the view changed and he saw a pair of underwear rushing up to him. 

“Courtney!”  Nick shouted but was instantly silenced by the fabric that covered Courtney’s lower region.  Her vaginal lips closed shut as she stood up.  She forgot about him…

He heard Courtney say something but was muffled and he couldn’t make out what she was saying.  On the bright side at least he was going to school.  If he found a way out Courtney’s love tunnel then he could find Jasmine and then get back to Sam; just the thought of her brightened Nick’s day.  Besides how long will it take for Courtney to find out that he was still inside her from last night?  A couple of minutes, an hour tops…

Courtney was just leaving her 6th period which was science and heading for lunch.  She had been distracted all day due to the fact that there was a tingling sensation inside of her vaginal area.  She just wrote it off as her sexual need building, but the feeling should have gone away.  She was going to go to the bathroom to check if there was something wrong.  She didn’t check when she went to the bathroom to pee this morning because she had a test and need to hurry, but now she need to find out what was wrong.  She prayed there wasn’t an infection or something.  Suddenly her thoughts shattered when she looked up and saw Becky and her group walked out in front of her.

Courtney stood still not know what to do as they came closer ready to rip into her like last time.  Courtney froze as memories of their cruel insults flew through her mind.  Courtney braced herself for the worse when all of a sudden she felt a masculine hand on her shoulder.

Becky gasped at the person behind Courtney causing Courtney to turn around.  She too gasped as she saw the last person she thought would be there, Paul.

“Hey Courtney, mind if I carry your books for you,” Paul asked.

“P-P-Paul,” Courtney and Becky both stuttered.

Paul ignored Becky and gave Courtney a warm smile and helped her with her books.  “Where are you heading?”

“I-I-I…um… lunch.”

“Me too, I just have to go to my locker, do you want to come with me?”

Courtney just nodded as she felt her entire body turn to jelly.  Becky had a look of rage as Paul continued to ignore her and walked Courtney to his locker.  When they got to his locker he opened it up and started to get some books and started to talk to her.  “You know I always kind of liked you.  I just never could work up the nerve to talk to you.”

“Really,” Courtney asked flabbergasted. 

Paul nodded.  “Look there’s this new movie coming out Friday.  I was wondering if you wanted to go.”

“You mean on a date?”  Courtney asked again unable to comprehend what was going on.

“Well, I mean that is if you want to?”

“I would love to,” Courtney said joyfully.

“Cool, um I’ll see you after school Friday?”

“Yeah,” Courtney said still feeling giddy from what was happening.  Her dream was coming true.

As Paul closed his locker he offered her his hand to walk to the cafeteria.  When she took his hand he gave her a warm smile.  “By the way, I think you have lovely eyes.”  Courtney blushed as he looked deep into her eyes.  Walking away she complete forgot about that tingling sensation that vanished a few seconds ago…

Nick fell out of his fleshy prison just moments ago.  He was tapped inside of Courtney’s underwear.  It had been 5 or 6 hours since this morning and still she didn’t notice him.  No matter what he did she was oblivious to him and it infuriated him.  Deciding on what to do, he heard the voice of a male talking to Courtney.  Deciding that it was Paul he listened to the conversation and heard what was happening.

Letting out a sigh his anger dissolved as Courtney got a date with Paul.  Well good for her, she needed someone nice.  Before he could think of what to do next on escaping or waiting for discovery, Courtney started to walk.  Nick was being bounced around and quickly was falling closer toward Courtney’s legs.  There he bumped up against her leg and fell out of the leg holes of her underwear.

“Oh shit-” was all Nick could say as he fell through the air and collided with the tiled flooring.  He smacked into the ground and tasted blood in his mouth.  Why?  What did he ever do to deserve everything he was put through the past couple of weeks?  Groaning he looked up to see two giants walking away while holding hands.

“Well,” Nick said standing up and groaning in pain.  “I guess I’m on my own now-”

Suddenly there was a loud bell and all the doors started to open up.  Students poured out into the hallway and started to stampede toward him.  He was unnoticed by everyone as they went about their routine.

Nick watched in gloom as a Nike tennis shoe sole came crashing down right on top of him.  All he had time to do was say, “Bring it on…” as the shoe pressed down on him with the force of a collapsing building.

Tracie walked out of her class and headed to her locker to get her books for her last class.  She hated and loved Mondays; she loved the fact that she gets to see her friends again, but hated the fact that she was getting school work.  Speaking of friends she ran into one of her friends on the way to her locker. 

“Hey how’s it going Tracie,” Ashley greeted her.

“You know, its Monday.  Who feels good on a Monday?” Tracie replied gloomily.

Ashley gave Tracie a worried look, “No one does but you seem more depressed then usual?  Is something going on?”

Tracie let out a sigh as they came closer to her locker.  “Yeah my cousin is having a wedding this week and my family is going.” 

Ashley gave her a smile, “You get to go to a wedding?  That sounds-”

“Horrible.”

“What,” Ashley said shocked.

“The wedding is this week and we have to fly out right after school.  That means I will miss practice and the wedding is in Hawaii.  I might miss the big game this Friday.”

“Oh,” Ashley said as she realized what was making Tracie upset.  She loved soccer and this Friday they were playing their biggest rivals.  They needed to win this game and Tracie was not only their team captain but also their best player. “Tracie don’t worry about us.”

Tracie looked at her but still was looking upset.  “But I’m letting you all down by not being there.”

Now it was Ashley’s turn to feel upset.  “Are you saying we are nothing if your not there?”

“No I didn’t mean it like that,” Tracie said realizing what she said.

“Then go to the wedding and have fun.  We got this besides, win or lose no one will blame you for not being there.  I for one hope you have fun in Hawaii while we all have to run laps till we puke.  I mean I would give anything to go eat cake at a wedding in Hawaii then having to listen to coach blab on about back in her day, blah blah blah.”

Tracie laughed, “Your right.”

Ashley laughed too until she stepped on something with her shoes, “Ewww.”

“What,” Tracie asked.

“I think I stepped in something,” she replied as she lifted her shoe and rubbed it against the ground.  “I just bought these shoes too,” she said angrily.  Ashley was about to lift her shoe up to look at what she step on when the warning bell went off.  “Great no time to get it off; if I find the punk that did this I will make him or her wish they were never born.” 

“See you later, hopefully before I leave before practice,” Tracie said as she walked in the opposite direction. 

“Bye,” Ashley said as she walked toward her English class.  When she got in class the bell rang and she had to take her seat.  Sitting down she was about to look under her shoe to see how much gum or whatever was stuck to her shoe, when the teacher started to hand back their test on the book they were supposed to read.  Ashley let a disappointed sigh.  Great her day couldn’t get any worse.  First she steps in something with her brand new shoes and now she get to see the test she failed Friday.  She didn’t even pick up the book once. 

When the teacher came by her desk he gave her a stern look and said, “Next time read the book.”  He placed her test face down.

Cringing at what her grade was she quickly flipped the paper and saw the last grade she thought she would get, An A+.  Shocked she looked over her randomly selected multiple choices that she guessed on.  25 questions and she got all of them right by pure luck.  Under the A+ the teacher wrote: I know you didn’t read the book because you left it here the past couple of weeks, but I can’t fail you for getting the questions right.  I don’t want to see this happen again or I will fail you having the right or wrong answers.

Ashley couldn’t help but mentally shout for joy.  This has got to be the most amazing thing in the world.  That’s when she remembered the thing she stepped in and quickly picked up her shoe to see how bad of a mess the gum was only to stare at the last thing she thought she would see, a buggy… 

Nick was in agony as the 100 ton giantess kept walking without noticing him under her shoe.  The flooring kept coming up and rubbing up against him every step she took.  He felt his body giving out with every step.  The memory of being stepped on for a brief moment by Jasmine’s little foot came back.  That was like holding up a puppy compared to this.  He felt like Atlas, holding the world up, as the foot came smashing down again into the floor.  Nick didn’t know how or why he was stuck to the girls shoe like glue, but he was and he wasn’t coming off anytime soon.  In fact each step seemed to glue him to the shoe more and more until he was practical the shoe itself. 

Finally she stopped walking and he got the privilege being face down in the tiled floor as she sat down for class.  Nick didn’t expect to move for a while but was shocked when the shoe started to pull up and he was greeted with the face of his oblivious tormentor.  She looked to be in the same class as Courtney or maybe a class lower, he wasn’t sure.  All he knew was that she caught him and hopefully she would save him. 

To his luck she reached down and peeled him off of her shoe.  She was about to say something when a teacher said, “Ashley, are you paying attention.”  Quickly the giantess wrapped her hand around Nick’s sore body and squeezed him tight as if he might vanish and said, “Yes, Mr. Prickly.”

Nick was completely crushed by the force of the giantess’ grip as she squeezed tighter and tighter either on purpose or subconsciously.  All Nick knew was that she wasn’t letting up anytime soon.  As the pain increase his ability to stay conscious started to fade.  It wasn’t long until he passed out from the pressure.

“Hey little guy wake up,” Ashley said as she poked the buggy awake.  The buggy had been passed out since English.  It was after school and they were in the girl’s locker room changing for soccer practice.  The buggy slowly awoke to her poking and finally sat up awake.  He looked around and quickly averted his eyes.  Odd a buggy that was modesty, Ashley thought as she grinned at it.  One of her best friends came by and sat down on the bench that was in-between the lockers that held their clothes.

Brenda looked at Ashley and said, “What’s with the buggy?  Are we going to have some fun with him before practice,” Brenda said with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Ashley shook her head no.  “I think this guy is my lucky charm.”

“Huh,” Brenda said shocked.

“Yeah it may sound weird but you know that English test in Mr. Prickly’s class, the one I didn’t study at all for?”

“Yeah,” Brenda replied wondering what that had to do with the buggy.

“Well I aced it!  I don’t know how I mean I just guessed on all of the questions and got them all right.  I think it’s this little guys doing.  I mean what else could it have been?”

“Ok, so what does that have to do with soccer practice?”  Brenda asked getting up and stripping to her underwear as she changed her clothes for practice. 

“Well I want to make sure he’s good luck.  So if I have a good practice with him, then its official, he’s good luck.  If not, well… I guess it would be entertaining enough to play with him till he breaks.”

Brenda laughed, “I do hope you have a horrible practice because I want to break that buggy till there is nothing left of him.”  Getting up close to the buggy she gave him a wink.

Nick swallowed as he watched Brenda walk out of the locker room with her gym bag in one hand and a soccer ball in the other.  There were still other girls changing and Nick didn’t feel comfortable watching so he kept his eyes down until his new captor, Ashley said, “Do you like what you see?”

Nick looked up and she happens to have her bra off.  If it wasn’t bad enough that she was holding him responsible for her luck on a test, or the fact that she was going to kill him after her practice if she doesn’t see some kind of miracle or something, she was now teasing him with her body.  Nick was still human, in a way, and felt himself starting to stare due to her developed breast.  Ashley shook her chest causing Nick to blush and quickly look away.  Ashley laughed at his reaction and started to dress.  When she was done dressing she gathered her things and paused as she looked at Nick.

“Where to put you…” Nick looked at her shorts and to his fear, there were no pockets.  “Well maybe you have to be on my foot…” She started to say as she took her shoes off.  Nick was about to say something to her but was too slow and fell face first into the shoe.  “Try not to die down there,” Ashley said as she slipped her foot in after him.  Nick backed up into the shoe and felt the enormous socked foot press up against him.  Nick had his back up against the head of the shoe and luckily had enough room to stay away from Ashley’s foot.  When she started to walk Nick was thrown forward into her foot where it either instinctively or on purpose clamped down on his lower body.  Now Nick’s waist was trapped under the giantess’ foot.  The fuzzy foot kept scrunch up and slowly pulled Nick closer to her awaited toes.  After 10 or more steps Nick’s face collide with the fuzzy covered toes and got a face full of lint and foot odor.  Nick let out a muffled curse at his fate as she kept walking and dragged him further under her foot….

Ashley was walking to the field as she enjoyed the feeling of the buggy under her foot.  It felt like a tiny massage.  She loved the feeling of his little body wiggling under her foot as each step brought him to the heel of her shoe.  When she reached the field everyone was changing out of their shoes into cleats, because the cleats damaged the flooring they weren’t allowed to wear them in the school.  Brenda asked Ashley where Tracie was as did a few other girls.

“She has a wedding she needed to go to,” Ashley explained.  Most of the girls awed at it but some asked the serious question, will she back in time for the game Friday.

Ashley shrugged and said, “She might, but I won’t bet on it.  We will just have to win without her.”

Almost on cue the coach came out and said about the same thing that Ashley said, “… and she won’t be able to make it to Friday’s game.  I don’t want anyone thinking we don’t have a chance.  You girls are excellent players and I know you girls can win without Tracie.  Now let’s get those cleats on and start running some laps.”

Ashley removed her shoes and saw the buggy gasping for air when she pulled her foot out.  He looked red in the face and she could see that he wasn’t enjoying his home.  Well good news for him, he now had a newer home.  Pulling out her shoes from her gym bag a few girls quickly moved away.  Ashley couldn’t help but giggle at this.  She was known as the girl with the smelliest feet on the soccer team.  The odor from the cleats had a foul odor as she dropped them on the ground.  Giggling at the buggy’s luck; she prepared to run the 5 laps the coach just ordered them to run…

Nick saw a bright light and realized it was the sun.  Why was he being let out of his prison…?  Then suddenly he reliazed that it was because he was in a tennis shoe and not a cleat.  Cursing his luck he watched as the giantess reached in and picked him up.  He was dropped into another shoe and Nick froze.  He made the mistake of inhaling through his noise and started to hack.  His noise burned from the odor of what must have been a really well used pair of cleats.  No please… was all Nick could think as the socked foot came into view.  Nick didn’t want to but knew that he had a better chance of survival deeper into the shoe.  Running away from the entrance he reached the end of the shoe and recognized that he was in an imprint of the girls toe prints; right between the big and second toe.  He had no time to move as the toe slammed into him and ran over his body pinning him into the shoes sole.  Nick got a mouth full of sock and prayed for this to end soon.  Of course Nick knew better.  This was soccer practice, and it doesn’t end until everyone was tired and sweaty…

Ashley didn’t think running could be so much fun as she ran her last lap.  The buggy must have died by now but she didn’t care the feeling of him in-between her sweaty toes was haven.  Good luck or not, she was glad she put the buggy in her shoe.  When she was done running her lap the team started stretching and then went to practice some drills.  She felt the buggy squirming more desperately telling her that it was still alive.  Glad, she jumped up and down to get ready for her turn to run the drill.  Her feet were starting to sweat badly, and she knew that it must be like some kind of swampy, sweaty, sauna from hell that the buggy was living in.  Running up to the ball that was thrown in the air she kicked the ball with all her might and watched with the upmost joy as it sailed through the air and hit the upper 90 (it’s the top corner of the goal).  The girls’ soccer team cheered for her success on scoring on their goalie.  She quickly got back in line and waited for her turn again.

Nick was literally drowning in sweat.  The nasty liquid filled the air and dripped down and filled his closed mouth.  For some damned reason the liquid was able to get into his mouth no matter how hard he shut it.  The liquid burned his eyes, lips, and throat as it kept coming and wouldn’t stop.  Of course that wasn’t the only problem; each step was like a steam roller being dropped on top of him and rolled over his body.  He lost count of how many steps she took after the 1000th step.  Nick tried to wiggle out of his prison but knew it was pointless because there was nowhere to go.  The cleat was smaller than her tennis shoe and meant that there was less space for him to try and avoid the humongous foot.  With nothing to do but choke on the vinegar like liquid as the flow only increased.  How did this giantess not flood the soccer field with her sweat?

The coach split the team into two smaller teams to scrimmage.  Ashley was on fire today as she was all over the place doing amazingly.  Ashley slide on the ground and stole the soccer ball from Brenda who shouted, “Hey!”  Ashley charged the goalie and chipped the ball just out of the goalie’s reach and into the back of the net.  Ashley’s team cheered for her as they all ran to her and congregated her on her 5 goal.  The coach blew the whistle and told everyone practice was over and to clean up and go home.  Walking to her car Brenda caught Ashley as she got into her car.

“So I guess that buggy was good luck after all?”

“You bet, with him we won’t lose the game this Friday.”

“So where did you keep him,” Brenda asked.

“In my shoe… oh crap!”  She quickly pulled her shoe off and found the buggy there dead.  Worried she picked up the buggy and took a closer look.  It reeked of her sweat as she realized that it was soaking wet like her socks.  The buggy suddenly coughed and started to vomit.  Relieved and slightly disgusted at the sight Ashley was tempted to fling the buggy out of her hand.

“That’s so disgusting,” Brenda said. 

“I know,” Ashley cringed.  After the buggy stopped she wiped her hand on some dirty clothes that she had and placed the buggy in her gym bag and zipped it up. 

“So I was wondering, since we are like best friends and stuff, maybe I could use him tomorrow?  I mean just to test that good luck charm theory thing, you know?”

Ashley smiled, “Of course, what are friends for?”

Nick woke up with his lungs on fire.  It felt like someone poured acid down his throat.  That thought caused Nick to spring back to life at the horrible memory of his trip through Angelica’s digestive system.  He instantly started to cough up a nasty liquid that smelled of sweat.  He reliazed that he drowned in Ashley’s foot sweat; this caused him to retch more of the foul smelling liquid that was lodged in his throat.  When he was done he was carelessly tossed into Ashley’s gym bag and zipped up.  There the foul odor of unwashed and sweaty clothes filled the air that he breathed.  It was like being in Ashley’s shoe all over again only now he could move. 

Sadly Nick felt nauseous due to the lack of fresh air.  The flavor of foot was still fresh in Nick’s mouth and it only caused him to feel sicker than he was already.  Quickly he created a small sandwich and a drink to help wash the flavor out of his mouth.  When he was done eating the taste of sweat and foot were gone but it didn’t help that the air reeked of sweat and body odor.  Shuddering at the smell Nick slowed his breathe and tried to relax.  Being too worked up never helped anyone.  After a little while the smell finally started to become bearable.  The sound of a car door opening could be heard and the bag was quickly jerked around as Nick went tumbling and was covered with the giantess’ shorts.  Nick didn’t move a muscle as the smell of the dirty clothing and grass filled his world.  It hit Nick just then, WHY DOES SHE HAVE DIRTY CLOTHES IN HER BAG IF ITS MONDAY?!

Ashley got out of her car and picked up her gym bag of dirty clothes.  She left them at school Friday and it had all of last week’s clothes in them.  She needed to wash the clothes and empty her bag so she could put this week’s clothes in them.  Heading to her room she tossed the bag on her bed and zipped it open to get her laundry out.  A cloud of foul odor drifted out of the bag and made Ashley take a leap back coughing. 

“Damn…” she said as she held her noise.  It was by far the worse smell she ever smelt.  It was like something died and then came back to life and died again.  Quickly she went to the laundry room and dumped the bag into the washer machine and poured a couple of cups of soap into it.  Quickly she closed the led and hit deep wash…

Nick was falling through the air and out of the grasp of the shorts that covered him.  Looking up he felt his hope die as he saw Ashley standing above him while looking down.  Nick realized that he was in a washer machine.

“Wait-” Nick started to say only to get drenched in a fresh smelling liquid.  Nick had to close his eyes and mouth so the liquid didn’t get into either of them.  Quickly he wiped the liquid away to shout out for help so he wasn’t locked in the washer machine only to watch the lid slam shout and the sound of a magnetic lock locking it tight.  “COME ON!!”  He shouted in frustration.  How hard was it for anyone to see him?  The sound of water rushing in shook Nick out of his rage.

There was no way he could survive this.  The washer machine would rip him apart and drown him.  He probable had better luck surviving inside another stomach than this.  Quickly he shot an orb of light out so he could see around.  There was heaps of clothing everywhere.  Quickly he climb the clothes as fast as he could and watched as some of the piles of clothes started to fall due to the water soaking into them.  Getting as high as possible, Nick tried to think of a way out of this.  Sadly there wasn’t much he could think of doing.  After soccer practice he barely had much energy and the orb of light was about as much as he could do. 

The orb of light started to fad signaling that his power was about gone.  Looking around at the fading light he saw an ocean of water rising and bubbles starting to form.  The shirt he was standing on was starting to get damp from the water.  Closing his eyes he accepted defeat.  It was heart breaking to realize that he was so close to getting back to Sam, only to be denied.  The water started to rise higher and Nick was now forced to stay afloat in the freezing cold water.  The sound of the water flowing in stopped and Nick held his breathe.  Any moment now the machine with started to shake and spin and there would be no way for Nick to stay alive.

Suddenly the lid unlocked and a bright light shone in.

“Oh thank goodness.  I thought you were dead,” Ashley said as she dipped her hand in and pulled Nick out.  Nick let out a sigh of relief at his savior.  “You must be good luck because you would have died if I forgot about you.”

Nick didn’t say anything because of numerous reasons, but the number one reason was because he would have said some very mean things to her and he didn’t want to deal with her reaction to his outburst.  Ashley had a jar in one hand and placed him in it.  “Now don’t worry … you know I think I’m going to name you.  Would you like a name?”

Nick gave her a drawl stare but didn’t comment.  He was sure that if he talked she wouldn’t care either way.  She just had one of those personalities that told him that she would ignore him even if he could talk.  “I think I’m going to call you…Nick.”

… Ok so maybe he was lucky.  What were the odds of her picking out his name out of all the names in the universes?  Nick heard the washer machine start spinning as Ashley carried Nick out of the laundry room.  Yeah he was beyond lucky, a moment later and he would have died. 

Ashley carried Nick back to her room and she set him down on her desk next to her homework.  She started to talk about how he helped her score a bunch of goals and other lucky things that happened to her today because of him.  Nick sat down in his glass chamber and tuned her out as she babbled on and on.  It was going to be a long night, Nick though as Ashley kept talking and talking and talking…

Nick woke up to his jar being picked up.  It must have been early morning because Ashley was packing up her school supplies and was dressed for school.  She flipped the jar upside down and grabbed Nick as he fell.

“Ok Nick, time to go to school.”  Ashley said pulling out her shoes.

Nick cringed at the fate he was about to be dealt when she pulled her shoes out.  She then placed them on without him in them.  Confused he looked up at her who didn’t notice him looking.  Then she stood up with him still in his hand.  She headed over to her desk and pulled out a piece of string.  Nick again gave her a confused look and this time she saw it.  She gave him a wicked grin and started to tie the string around Nick’s feet. 

Nick was now hanging upside down by his feet and attached to a string necklace.  Ashley put the necklace around her neck and let Nick rest on the outside of her shirt between her breasts.  Nick looked down or actually up at Ashley who walked over to a mirror.

“Nick, you make an excellent necklace,” she said jubilantly.

Nick looked forward at the mirror and saw what the giantess meant.  He was like a piece of jewelry that anyone would buy, except instead of a gem it was him in its stead.  Then a though came into his head.  Are they allowed to wear jewelry at the school?  Almost if she could hear his thought she said, “Sadly no one will notice you.”  Giving you a pouty look she waved, “Bye Bye till practice.”  Giggling she picked up the string and dropped him in-between her breast.  As Nick was dropped between her bosom Nick rested between the two globes that blocked out all light. 

“I know that you love my breast,” Ashley said squeezing them together.  Nick felt the fleshy orb’s collapse on top of him and started to smother him.  Nick started to squirm to get some oxygen causing Ashley to giggle.  “Ok little fellow, calm down in there.”  She released her ample chest and let Nick get some oxygen. 

Ashley started to walk away from the mirror and Nick started to sway back and forth bumping into Ashley’s boob and then back up against her chest.  Every step caused Nick to swing back and forth bumping into her.  Nick tried to untie himself but the movement was making it difficult.  He waited until Ashley got into her car and stopped moving.  When she finally reached her car and got in, Nick felt all the blood rush to his head and felt light headed.  This was bad; he was feeling tired and couldn’t think straight as he continued to dangle by his feet.  It wasn’t long till he passed out again.

Nick heard the voices of a bunch of girls awing.  Slowly he opened his eyes and was greeted by the vision of the entire girls’ soccer team looking down at him.  Sitting up straight he looked around and noticed that some of the girls were dressed while others weren’t.

“See I told you he was cutie for a buggy, especially when he’s sleeping,” Ashley told them.  Some of the girls laughed while others awed. 

“Can I keep him please,” One of the girls asked who was wearing only her panties and nothing else.

“I’ll pay you my allowance for a month if I can keep him,” Another said.

“Girls, girls, please,” Ashley said to them all.  “No one can have him because…” Ashley said drawling it out, “He’s for everyone!”

Nick looked up at her with a shocked look.  “He’s our good luck charm,” Ashley explained.  “Today Brenda gets to use try him out to see if he is really good luck.  If he is then we will all share him for good luck whenever we need him most.  If he isn’t good luck then we get to play with him after practice till he breaks!” Ashley said excitedly as the rest of the girls looked pleased with the deal.  Either way Nick was screwed.  Nick saw Brenda over Ashley’s shoulder and saw her give him a devilish grin that told him that he wasn’t going to survive today’s practice.

The other girls started to leave for the soccer fields when Ashley handed Nick to Brenda.  “See you out there,” Ashley told Brenda who was the last one to get dressed.  You were in Brenda’s hand and she again gave you that look that told you that this was going to be the worse moment of your life.

“You know what I love about buggies?” She asked rhetorically.  “No one cares what happens to them,” She said as she placed Nick in her locker so he had nowhere to go.  “I need to use the little girl’s room,” She told Nick.  She walked away and Nick heard a stall close.  There was the sound of her peeing and then she started to grunt loudly.  There was the sickening sound of her using the toilet for a couple of minutes and then a flush.  She came back and let out a sigh. 

“Been holding that one in all day just for you,” She said.

Nick looked in horror and confusion at what she said.  Brenda grabbed Nick and quickly brought him toward her rear end. 

“NOOO!” Nick shouted into Brenda’s hand which either she couldn’t hear or though was a muffled cry that buggies always made. 

Nick was quickly dropped between the round cheeks of Brenda’s ass and realized what she meant by her saying.  Nick was assaulted by the horrific smell of ass and her waste.  Nick was lodged in-between her butt cheeks and was greeted by the nasty feeling of a slimy substance.  There was only one thing that it could be, Brenda didn’t wipe…

“I expect it all to be clean when I’m done with practice or you will be drowning in it,” she said evilly as she pulled up her booty shorts for practice.  Brenda just loved buggies…

Ashley noticed that Brenda was doing great at practice today.  She seemed to be doing better than usual.  It was decided then that Nick was a good luck charm for everyone.  There was no way they could lose the soccer game Friday with him.  During practice one of her teammates ran up to Ashley and asked if she could borrow Nick for tomorrow. 

“Sure Ginger,” Ashley told the little red headed girl. 

“Thanks,” She said with a smile.  Ginger than ran off to go practice her throw ins.

Ashley looked over to see Brenda grabbing her shorts and yanking them up really hard…

Nick was sliding deeper and deeper into Brenda’s ass.  Her booty sweat and left over waste made a slick slide of muck as he started to slide further into her rear end.  Not again!  He shouted in his head as he did his best not to breathe.  Even though his lungs begged for air, Nick refused to inhale.  He rather suffocate then to inhale any of Brenda’s stench.  Time was meaningless as Nick continued to get closer and closer to his demise.  Nick finally felt his foot push up against some resistance.  Nick knew it was Brenda’s asshole as it pulsated with every step she took.  Suddenly the hole opened wide and gulped down Nick’s legs to his knees.  The ring of muscles bite down on his legs and held him fast so he couldn’t move at all as  Brenda held him fast with her ass.  Then the hole opened again and sucked him up to his thighs.  His legs felt something waiting for him on the other side of the fleshy wall and it wasn’t something he wanted to meet.  She mustn’t have finished using the toilet. 

No matter how much he tried he couldn’t do anything except get sucked deeper into Brenda’s awaited hole.  He was sliding deeper and deeper until he was up to his neck.  This was it…

Suddenly the butt cheeks around him opened wide and two fingers grabbed him and pulled him out.  He was quickly thrown into a sink filled with water.  Nick gasped for fresh air as the freezing cold water washed over him.  Shuddering at the waters’ temperature and the color it was change duo to the filth that covered him; Nick looked up to see Brenda glaring at him.

 “You were saved this time.  Next time I’m going to shove you so far up my ass you will never see the light of day again,” She said angrily at Nick.  She quickly and roughly washed him and dried him off. 

Brenda was about to swallow the buggy up her ass when Ashley and Ginger asked for him back.  Brenda tried to protest but they both demanded it along with a few other girls that wanted a turn with the buggy.  Outnumbered she grumbled and said she had to fish the buggy out of her ass.  All the girls’ went eww, except a few that laughed.  Ginger followed Brenda to the bathroom and waited outside for the buggy.  Brenda came back out after washing the buggy and handed it to Ginger who gave her a disgusted look.

“Did you really stick him up your butt?”

“You can smell him if you want-” Brenda started to say.

“No that fine,” Ginger said cutting her off not wanting to think about it.  “Come on Nick let’s get you cleaned up.  We both need to take a long bath together,” Ginger said lovingly. 

Ginger was in the bath tub with Nick floating in the water with her.  She kept saying how adorable and cute he looked.  Nick didn’t say anything as he floated in the tub and relaxed.  It had been a long time since he got to just be at peace.  Sure he wasn’t 100% sure she didn’t have some kind of alterative motive to having him, but for now she didn’t set off any alarms. 

“Come on cutie let’s get you dried off,” she said as she picked him up gently out of the water.  Nick did his best to try and stay modest and not look.  She giggled at that, “Ashley said you liked to look at breast.  I don’t mind.”

“Of course she would say that,” Nick said under his breath.  Still Nick didn’t look until she was dressed and he dried off too.  After they left the bathroom Ginger brought him to her room where she placed him on a pillow as she laid on the bed. 

Ginger looked at Nick and leaned in closer, “You look so handsome I could just eat you up…” Ginger said opening her mouth.

Wide eyed at what was about to happen Nick used his powers to make the door knock.  Ginger closer her mouth and said, “Hold that thought cutie,” She went to check who it was at the door. 

“Mom, did you knock on my door?” Ginger asked.

“No but I could use your help,” She replied.

Ginger let out a sigh and pulled out a small box under her bed and put Nick in it.  She closed the box and left the room to help her mom.  This is insane, Nick thought.  He just had to be with the crazy girls.  He didn’t know how long he would be able to survive them all. 

Nick didn’t hear Ginger return until later into the night when he heard the sound of the bed creaking signified that she was in bed and must be going to sleep.  Suddenly the box was being moved and Ginger was opening the box to see Nick. 

“So where were we,” She asked rhetorically as she picked up Nick.  She opened her mouth wide and hovered Nick over her gapping maw.  “That’s right I was about to have a snack,” She said giggling.

Nick took a deep breathe.  He survived it once maybe he could do it again, he thought steeling himself for the upcoming ordeal he would have to face.  Ginger stuck her tongue out and wiggled it around and licked Nick’s feet.  She started to descend Nick into her mouth.  When he passed her lips and was about to be dropped down her open throat that pulsated in the awaited arrival of its new food, Nick was jerked out.

Gingered looked at Nick with a confused look, “You’re not going to panic?”  She gave Nick a pouted look, “Awww, I just loving see you cuties all scared, squirming, and crying.”  She stuck her tongue out and dragged it across Nick’s body.  “You taste delicious.”  Looking at Nick and seeing that he wasn’t reacting the way she wanted him to she gave him a kiss on the forehead.  “Too bad I just had something to eat and am full.  Besides you just look so cute when you look serious like that.  Good night Nick, let’s hope I’m not too hungry tomorrow morning,” Ginger said putting Nick back inside the box and putting it under her bed. 

A few days later…

Nick had been through so much the past couple of days.  He had been traded around the girls’ soccer team like some kind toy or trading card.  Each girl had some weird way of putting Nick through a certain hell.  They were either like Ginger where they loved to tease him psychologically or they were like Brenda and wanted to physically put him through hell.  Either way it was not fun and always left Nick in a state of hopelessness of never seeing Sam again.  Today was Friday and the big game.  Nick wondered who he would be given to in order to boost their luck.  He knew he wasn’t helping their luck but just their confidence in playing.  Nick still felt slightly sore from yesterday where Abigail used him like a mouth guard all day.  She chewed him and nearly ripped his body to shreds. 

Nick shudder at the thought of who he might be with.  What if it was Brenda?  The retched smell of her ass was still buried in his mind.  Nick was set on the bench where all the girls were asking Ashley who would get to use him today.  Suddenly the doors of the locker room burst open.  All the girls looked at the new comer.

“… Tracie!”  Everyone shouted with joy as their captain came into the locker room to prepare for the game…

Hearing the doorbell ring, Jasmine went and opened the door.  Standing there was Annabel.

“What do you want,” Jasmine said angrily.  She still hadn’t forgiven her.

Annabel gave Jasmine a sad and gloomy look.  “Can we talk Jazz?”

Jasmine wanted to close the door but couldn’t do it, so instead she asked, “What?”

 “I just wanted to apologize about what I did.  When I was in Hawaii, I was thinking and… Please Jazz, can we be friends again?”  Annabel said pleadingly.  Jasmine could see the sadness in her eyes and knew that she meant it.  Still…

“Annabel…”

“Jazz please I… I would find you another buggy but it wouldn’t be the same would it?  I just… you know you are my only friend, Jasmine.  I just thought that if we could join a club we could make more friends… but I didn’t think… I’m sorry Jasmine,” Annabel said truly heartfelt.

Jasmine didn’t say anything and let it sink in.  “Annabel… Mrs. Piper gave us some homework over the weekend.  You might need some help since you weren’t here.”

“What,” Annabel said stunned.

“Hey mom, do you mind if I go over to Annabel’s to help her with homework?”

“Sure I got to go shopping anyway; I’ll drop you off and then pick you up in a little while.”

“Really,” Annabel said still sounding shocked.

“Yeah let me just get my papers,” Jasmine told her.

“Thanks…”

Ashley went over and gave Tracie a sisterly hug.  “I thought you weren’t going to be able to make it?”  Ashley questioned Tracie. 

“I didn’t either, but my parents knew how much this game meant to me so they rushed us back home after the wedding,” Tracie explained. 

“How was the wedding,” Ashley asked.  As soon as she asked the other girls all started to surround Tracie and bombard her with questions on her week.  Nick looked around and noticed that everyone was now focused on Tracie rather than him.  Quietly Nick chose this time to make his escape undetected.  Looking down to the floor, the ground that was well out of reach and would kill a normal person if they jumped… he wasn’t a normal person.  He could easily make the long drop to the floor and not be hurt.  Nick noticed that the lockers had a gap under them where he could easily slide under and out of reach of the girls.  With his plan set, Nick backed up and started to run for the jump.

Using all his might Nick launched himself off the bench and went flying through the air.  He would easily make it to the gap and not get noticed by-

Nick was swiped up in midair by someone’s hand.  Whoever caught him squeezed him so strongly that his bones were on the verge of being pulverized.  When he thought he was about to be liquefied by the giantess who caught him the pressure was released and the hand opened up to reveal who caught him, Brenda.  She gave Nick an evil smile.

“Thought you could escape, you little bitch,” She hissed at him.

Damn… of all the people to catch him it had to be her-

“Brenda?  What do you have,” Tracie asked as she noticed that she was only one not asking a question and looked to be staring at something with great intensity.  Brenda quickly closed her hand and said that it was nothing.

That when Ashley said, “Oh right!  You won’t believe what I found the day you left.  I found a lucky charm!”

“A what,” Tracie asked raising an eyebrow confused.

“I found a good luck charm,” Ashley said excitedly heading over to where Brenda was.  Seeing Nick not on the bench she turned to Brenda and gave her a peeved look.  Everyone else looked at her the same way.

Brenda gave them all an innocent smile, “What?”

“You know what, Brenda.  You were planning on using it for the game without us knowing about it weren’t you?”

“What,” Brenda said trying to act innocent.  No one was buying it.  “Fine,” Brenda slowly opened her hand to reveal the lucky charm that Ashley was talking about. 

“Is that a buggy?” Tracie asked wondering what this was all about. 

“Yeah, he’s our lucky charm.  You won’t believe what happened…” Ashley started to recall what happened as more girls chimed in on their experiences with Nick.

“Whoa, stop and slow down.”  Tracie said cutting them off.  “Are you telling me that you believe that this buggy can give you good luck?”

All the girls started to tell Tracie their experience when she stopped them.  “But Tracie you should have seen us at practice, I scored like 100 goals.” Ashley told Tracie excitedly.

“But you are good at soccer, all of you are,” Tracie said looking at each and every one of them.  “It wasn’t luck that made you good but your hard work and the years of practice and games.  Brenda, Ashley, Abigail… girls, it’s not luck but our team work and hard practices that will make us ready to win, not some buggy,” Tracie said pointing at Nick.

Thank you, Nick shouted in his head at the speech he just heard.  Why was it that the one person who understood that he wasn’t giving luck to them here all week? 

“But-” Ashley started but Tracie stopped her.

“Remember what you said before I left.  You told me that you girls didn’t need me and could win without me.  Are you telling me that you lied and you need some lucky charm to help you?”

Everyone was quite for a few moments.  Then Ashley said, “Your right.  We can win!  We don’t need him.”

“See,” Tracie said “Now let’s get ready and go win this!” 

All the girls cheered and started to head out to the soccer field to warm up for the game.  Brenda handed the buggy back to Ashley who stayed with Tracie as she changed into her soccer gear.  Tracie was in her underwear when Ashley handed Nick to Tracie.

Tracie frowned at Ashley, “I thought-”

“I know I said ‘we’ don’t but maybe you might want to.  I mean you haven’t practiced all week.”  Tracie was about to say something when Ashley stopped her.  “Please?”

Tracie sighed and said, “I don’t have any pockets to hold him.”

Ashley giggled and said, “You don’t hold him in your pockets.”

Now Tracie looked confused.  “So what do I do?”

“You can put him in your shoe, mouth, heck you can even put him in your underwear.”

“WHAT!?” 

Before Tracie could protest Ashley quickly pulled on Tracie’s bra and dropped the buggy down into her cleavage.  Ashley let the bra snap back into place sealing the buggy into Tracie’s bosom.  “Don’t worry he likes it in there,” Ashley said as she grabbed Tracie’s breast and positioned the buggy better.

Tracie was about to pull the buggy out when Brenda came in and said, “The coach wants us out there now.  Will you two hurry up?”

Tracie had no choice she would have to wait for a better opportunity to retrieve the buggy and get rid of it.  She put her shirt and soccer shorts and other gear on as she and Ashley went to practice before the game.

Nick didn’t know what was going to happen to him until it was too late.  Caught off guard he was quickly dropped into Tracie’s bra.  Landing on top of her right breast he didn’t have time to react as the bra was snapped back into place.  The fabric pinned him to Tracie’s fleshy skin as he was engulfed in her chest.  Why me?  Before he could move or try to escape, his world started to move.  The flesh under him started to jiggle and quake as it started to warp and wave.  The movement caused him to slide down the skin.  Trying to stop himself, Nick desperately grabbed at something, anything.  His hand grabbed a part of skin that was sticking out a little.  He realized that he was on the tip of Tracie’s breast, on her nipple.

Again before he could reposition himself he felt the fabric on his back get tighter as another layer of tight clothing was pulled on.  Smothered into the soft skin, Nick would have to wait until the game was over to be set free.  Looking on the bright side, at least he wasn’t in Brenda’s ass again…

Sadly Tracie didn’t want to admit it but she was kind of enjoying feeling the buggy squirming and wiggling in her bra.  It felt nice.  As she continued to warm up with her team she started to work up a sweat and felt her chest starting to produce perspiration.  This wasn’t uncommon for her and she didn’t think about it or the buggy that was trapped in her bra.

Nick felt the salty liquid roll across his face forcing him to close his eyes and mouth.  He was covered in sweat and it was not a good feeling.  Suddenly Nick slipped just barely.  Great…  Nick was covered in enough sweat that now he was slipping down the mound of flesh even though he’s being pressed into the flesh.  Out of pure instinct Nick reached out with both hands and grabbed anything he could.  That so happened to be Tracie’s nipple…

Tracie was calling the toss in midair when she felt a sharp pain like someone pinched her nipple.

“HEADS,” She yelped.  Red in the face at what just did, she hardly heard the referee tell her that it was heads.  Embraced at her action she quickly shook hands with her opponent after saying which side they wanted to defend.  Heading back to the team she whispered to the buggy in her bra that she didn’t have the chance to remove, “Don’t do that.”  Tracie never cared for buggies.  She neither like nor hated them.  Of course she has killed them before but not in some weird twisted why like how some kids in her school do.  If there was one crawling on her she would kill it but she wouldn’t go out of her way to hunt or hurt one.  Of course this is the first time she ever experienced a buggy touching her like this before.  She just had to get a buggy that was a pervert.  She would make it pay afterwards…

Getting the huddle ready she gave each of her teammates a spirited speech.  Getting the team ready she started to chant the teams name and then they rushed the field.  Taking her position she was ready for the whistle to blow when the buggy started to move around again.  Now it was getting annoying, Tracie told herself.  Grabbing her shirt she gave it a quick yank down on to press the buggy harder into her chest, hopefully to tell the buggy to stop moving.  This only caused the buggy to move more. 

Tracie didn’t recognize the whistle and the game starting due to the buggy.  Startled by the other team moving she looked up to see them pass her.  Upset that she would get distracted by the buggy she went to go after the ball. 

It was a close game.  Every time they got close to scoring they would be stopped by a defender or the goalie would catch impossible catches.  Luckily they got a goal, but were sadly scored on.  The score was 1-1 and again it was a hard game.  Tracie was sweating up a storm as she ran and stole the ball from her opponent.  She had a break away and was heading for the goal when suddenly the buggy decided to move.

NOT NOW!!  Tracie screamed in her head.  She didn’t notice the defender coming up and slide to take the ball.  Tracie stumbled and got caught on the leg as the opponent clipped her.  Falling forward Tracie twisted her leg and let out a cry as she felt her leg burn in pain.  Her chest slammed into the ground and she slid to a halt. 

Nick was losing his grip again and had to get a better position.  Unbeknownst to him did he know what was happening.  Suddenly he was lurched forward and there was a crushing weigh smashed all around him as it felt like his legs and arm were shattered.  He couldn’t breathe as the fleshy wall wrapped around him and suffocated him.  He thought he was going to die until finally the pressure was let up.

The referee yellow carded the player and stopped the game for the coach to check on Tracie.  Grimacing in pain, Tracie looked down at her leg and saw a red welt and a bunch of scrapes on her legs.  She could barely stand and the coach had to take her out.

“No, coach I feel fine,” She winced in pain.

“Stop being stubborn, you’re hurt and need to rest.”

Tracie was set down on the bench as her leg was checked.  She tried to put pressure on it but she was to hurt to do so.  She watched the game continue.  Before she knew it they were scored on.  Tracie couldn’t help but feel like it was her fault that they were now losing.  She let them all down by being distracted by the stupid buggy.  As the game went on they were scored on again before the half.  It was now 1-3.

The team was feeling unenthusiastic as they felt that it was now over.  Tracie did her best to cheer the team up but it wasn’t that good of a pep talk.  The coach gave her speech as they grouped at their goal.  When the coach was done with her speech the team went back to their bench and got ready for the next half.  Tracie told the coach she was going to stretch her leg and see if she was ready to go back in.  Going behind their bleachers to get out of everyone’s way she tried to stretch her leg but winced in pain. 

“Damn it,” She said hopelessly.  She wouldn’t be better by the end of the match.  Sitting down on the ground she silently said, “I had to get distracted and ... I let my team down.”  Tracie said miserably.

Nick heard what Tracie said and realized that he distracted her.  Well it wasn’t like he should care… but still he did.  He got her injured and she wouldn’t be able to play.  Nick heard someone call out for Tracie and heard the game was about to start again.  Knowing that he shouldn’t, but couldn’t help it, Nick concentrated and let his powers flow through him and to Tracie.  He had to fix the wrong he dealt her.

Tracie heard Brenda calling for her.  Sighing she went to stand up expecting pain to run up her leg … there was none.  Shocked she looked down and saw her leg was fine.  There were no marks or the massive welt on her leg.  What in the world… 

Quickly Tracie rubbed her leg to see if she was dreaming.  Her leg was back to normal.  Tracie did a few stretches to test and see if her muscles were fine.  Completely baffled but thrilled to be able to run again, she went to show the coach that she could play.  The coach told her to run down the side of the field and back, which she did and proved that she was good to go.  The team was happy to see her recovered and the coach put Tracie back in. 

They had the kick off and she got the ball.  She went down the field at full speed and passed by all the other players.  She didn’t know how or why but she felt good, no she felt great.  She was reenergized and full of strength.  She went for the shot and was about to shoot but faked it, and passed to her teammate across the goal and set her up for a header into the back of the net.  They scored!  Tracie cheered for her teammate as they went back to their side of the field.

The game went on and Tracie was on fire.  She was stealing the ball and taking shots on goal.  Tracie was doing things she didn’t know she could do or even heard of.  It wasn’t long until they were tied and it was the last few minutes of the game.  Again Tracie had a break away and was heading for the goal.  She was about to shoot when she saw the defender coming at her for the sliding tackle again.  Stopping the ball she let the defender slide passed her and went on and took the shot.  The ball went sailing over the goalie’s head and into the net.  Her team cheered as did the crowd as they were now up by 1 point. 

The other team tried to tie up the game but Tracie made sure they didn’t even get the ball.  It wasn’t long till the game was over and they won!  The team cheered and went to pick up Tracie.  They carried her back to the bench and congratulated her for her good work.  The coach too was excited and amazed at Tracie’s skills and fast recovery. 

Celebrating their victory they all hugged and congratulated each other.  After they were done they all headed home to get some rest.  Tracie forgot about the buggy until she got home and stripped her clothes off and noticed the buggy was in her bra passed out. 

Looking down at the buggy wondering if she killed it by accident she poked it gently in the arm.

Nick passed out due to the transference of his powers to heal and give Tracie his knowledge of soccer skills.  Next thing Nick knew he felt a sharp pain in his arm.  Letting out a shout of pain he shoot up and said, “Stop that!”

He looked up and remembered where he was and what happened.  Tracie gave him a shocked look as he just shouted at her.  Nick quickly looked away as he noticed that she was naked.  Tracie still shocked notice this and covered herself up with a towel she had for showering.

Finally after a long silence, “Did you just…”

“Talk?  Yeah, yeah I can talk.”

“But-but-but buggies don’t talk.  I mean the only ones that can are…”  Tracie’s eyes grew wide.  “You wouldn’t happen to know Jasmine would you?”

“You know her?!” Nick asked with hope.

“But that would mean,” Tracie said dumbfounded “Nick?  OH MY GOD!  No… but… how?”  Tracie asked completely baffled at Nick.

“Look, I have had a LONG week.  Please tell me you know Jasmine, and please tell me you can get me to her.”  Tracie just nodded and didn’t say anything as she looked almost terrified at Nick.  “Oh, thank God.  You have no idea how much that would mean to me.”

Tracie didn’t say anything but pulled up her desk chair to set down and look at the buggy.  “You’re not a buggy are you?”

Nick let out a laugh, “You know you are the first person to guess that.  Your right, I’m not a buggy.”

“Then what are you,” she questioned.

“It’s a long story.  I’m from another universe.  Look I would appreciate it if you could-”

“Did you fix my leg,” Tracie said cutting him off.  Nick didn’t say anything.  “You did, didn’t you?”  Again Nick didn’t say anything.

Suddenly Tracie picked up Nick and started to kiss him on the head.  “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”  She said over and over again.  “You have no idea how much that meant to me.”  Nick did know but wasn’t going to say anything on it.  Right now he needed to get back to Jasmine, the sooner the better.

When Tracie was done thanking him Nick then asked again, “So can you get me to Jasmine?  I really need to get back to her.”

“Oh, yeah anything for you.  Let me just take a shower and get something to eat, or…” she started to say.  “Do you need to get back now?”

Nick really didn’t but he needed to see Sam again.  “Right away is best.”

“Ok hold on.”  Tracie left her room still in her towel.  Nick didn’t know what was happen but next thing he knew Tracie was back with a young girl that he knew all too well, Annabel.

“What did I do?” Annabel asked.

Tracie let go of her arm and said, “Do you know who this is,” She asked angrily.

Annabel gasped, “It’s Jasmine’s buggy!  Where did you find him?”

“Doesn’t matter,” She said.  “You need to give him back to Jasmine, NOW.  I have to take a shower and need to eat something before I pass out.  I want you give him back and apologize.  Maybe then you two will stop fighting.”

Annabel just nodded but then frowned, “But it’s dark out.  Mom said never to go out when it’s dark without an adult.”

Tracie shook her head no.  “You need to do it now.  Besides she only lives like a block away.”

Annabel reached for Nick.  Nick wasn’t sure if he should trust them.  Letting out a sigh Nick walked toward Annabel.  Well, what was the worst that could happen…

It was pretty dark outside as Annabel carried Nick in her hands.  She walked down the street to where Jasmine lived.  Nick couldn’t believe his luck on how he got here.  It was probably the most impossible odds on how it turned out but Nick was fine with it.  As long as he got back to Sam-

“I can’t believe you survived Angelica’s stomach.”

Nick didn’t say anything as bad memories came back.

“I mean you have to be very strong to live through that…”

What was she getting at?

“And you can talk too.”

Ok…

Annabel stopped walking.  “I wonder what else you can survive.”  Nick looked up at her face and saw an evil glimmer in her eyes.  Son of a-

Annabel quickly clamped her hand around Nick and fished around in her pockets for some string that she had for some reason.  She quickly wrapped it around Nick tightly making him look like a mummy except for his head sticking out.   “Now you won’t be able to get away.”

Quickly Nick started to think of a way out of this.  “Wont your sister know that you didn’t give me back?”

Annabel shrugged, “Buggies get lost all the time.”

“But-but Jasmine wont forgive you, unless you return me.”

Annabel smile evilly, “We are already becoming friends again.  Now I can be friends with her and have a buggy to play with all the time.  It’s a win-win.”

“Wait you can’t do this!”  Nick started to shout.  But Annabel squeezed down on Nick and cut him off.

“I can do whatever I want because I’m bigger than you.  That’s how it always works.  Whoever is bigger can pick on the littler guy.”  Annabel said with a look in her eyes.

Nick knew that look.  It was one that Courtney had.  Everything was clicking into place.  He remembered what Jasmine said about Annabel.  She didn’t have any friends except her.  She was picked on by older students and was always trying to fit in with them.  She was like Courtney, always being hurt and the only way to feel better was to take it out on someone or something else.  That something would happen to be a buggy.

Nick was about to say something when suddenly a man behind Annabel threw a bag over her head and picked her up.  Annabel let out a muffled scream as she tried to fight her capture but was powerless to stop him.  She kept her grip on Nick as they were both carried into a white van with sliding doors.  Annabel was quickly tossed in and tied up before the bag was removed from her head.

Annabel was frightened as she was in a van with a strange man who had her tied up.  She started to cry in fear of what was going on.  This was why her parents and Jasmine’s parents told them not to walk home alone.  Struggling to get free Annabel dropped the buggy and tried to pull at the rope but wasn’t able to do anything. 

“P-P-Please, l-let m-m-me gooo,” Annabel cried.

Nick fell out of Annabel’s hand and hit the van floor hard.  Looking up he saw the man staring down at Annabel.  Nick felt sick to his stomach.  He should have known there were people like this here too.  He was going to kidnap Annabel.  No matter how cruel or evil she may be or seem, no one deserved this.  Nick wouldn’t let this happen.  Using his powers, Nick formed an energy blade to slice through his ropes.  It was like cutting butter with a laser chain saw.  Free of his bounds, he went to Annabel and quickly leaped up onto her shoulder, both she and the man didn’t notice him. 

“Let her go,” Nick said in a deadly voice.

“Who said that,” the man said slightly worried and looking around.

“I did.” Nick said again in a serious and deadly tone.  At first the man was scarred but then noticed who was talking and laughed.  Before Nick could react the man slapped him off Annabel’s shoulder and sent Nick flying.  Nick felt his right arm shatter and when he hit the van wall he felt his left rib cage crack. 

Annabel watched in horror as Nick was slapped off her.  She felt the gust of air from the blow and knew he was dead.  If she was hit like she was sure she wouldn’t have lived from it at her size.  Tears rolling down her face she watched as the man gaged her to keep her from cry out for help.  She was breathing heavily when she saw some movement.  Looking over to where Nick would be she watched with wide eyes in fear and complete astonishment; Nick was standing up.  He was limping and his right arm was dangling and bleeding, but he was alive.  Nick held up his left arm and let out a frightening roar. 

“What the-” The man said.

Nick’s hand held an orb of red light and suddenly the orb shot a beam of flashing light right past Annabel and into the man’s heart where it went through him like he wasn’t even there and through the window of the van.  The man just looked shocked and fell to the ground dead…

Annabel looked at Nick with fear in her eyes at what he just did.  Nick limped over to her and held out his left hand the same orb appeared and Annabel screamed for help.  He was aiming right at her!  Fearing that it was the end for her she closed her eyes and waited.  Next thing she knew her restraints went slack and fell off of her.   Opening her eyes she noticed that the ropes were cut.  Looking back at Nick, she watched as he fainted right there.

Annabel didn’t move as she was too scared to move.  Finally she removed the gag from her mouth.  “N-N-Nick?” 

He didn’t say anything.  Annabel went over and picked him up.  She noticed that he wasn’t breath and was bleeding bad.  Not knowing what to do, Annabel quickly got out of the horrid van and went running to the only person who might know…

Jasmine was putting her dish away when there was a panicked knocking on the door.  Her parents didn’t hear it as they washed the dishes.  Jasmine went to the door and opened it and saw Annabel there with a scared look on her face.

“Annabel?”

“I think he’s dead,” She said terrified holding out Nick who lay lifeless in her hands in a small pool of blood.

Jasmine had so many questions running through her mind right now.  “What happened?”  Jasmine asked Annabel as she gently picked up Nick.

“I-I-I …it …I’m not sure.” She finally said still scared and panicky, but mostly worried.

“Jasmine who is it?”  Jasmine’s mom asked.

“It’s Annabel.  She, um, forgot her homework,” Jasmine said. 

“I though you went to her house,” Jasmine’s mom asked confused.

“I did but I took one of her paper home by accident.  We’re going to go get them,” Jasmine said dashing to her room with Annabel tailing her.

“Hey, girls no running in the house,” Jasmine’s dad shouted to them but they didn’t listen as they closed Jasmine’s door.

Sam was debating what she was going to do with her life now.  She never thought something like this would ever happen to her.  She still felt horrible without Nick but Isaac was right she need to make up for it somehow.  Maybe she could be like some kind of translator or a go between for buggies and giants-

Sam’s thoughts were shattered when Jasmine particle ran into her room.  She was followed by someone who closed the door.  The girl who closed the door turned around and Sam let out a gasp at who it was; Annabel, the little girl who kidnapped them and ultimately lead Nick to his death.

“You,” Sam said feeling anger rise up.  Sam started to head toward Annabel like she was going to teach her a listen only to be interrupted by Jasmine.

“Sam,” She said.  “We need your help.”

“I will never help her,” Sam said with hatred.  “She killed Nick!”

“I didn’t mean-” Annabel started to say in defense when Jasmine tried to redirect all the attention to something more important.

“Sam,” Jasmine said holding out her hand.

Sam couldn’t breathe as she saw the last person she thought she would ever see again.  Nick was lying in Jasmine’s hand in a small red puddle of blood.  Emotions ran through her as she couldn’t think straight at what she saw. 

“Sam, I think he might be…” Jasmine said worried.

“Quickly you need to set him down gently,” Sam said.  Jasmine followed her words.  Sam ran over and checked on Nick.  He had no pulse and had several broken bones in his right arm and his leg seemed to be broken too.  Sam didn’t have much medical experience but she could tell that there was more damage done on Nick’s insides then outside.  Praying that she was in time she started to preform CPR on Nick.  Isaac and Ruth came over to see what was going on.  Everyone watched as Sam tried to revive Nick.  Time went on and on it seemed that Nick was gone…

Gasping Nick shot up from where he was laying terrified.  Freaking out Nick went to stand up when he was held down by someone.  Looking around in panic afraid that he was in trouble he went to knock the person off of him only to find Sam holding him down with concern on her face. 

Nick immediately calmed down at the sight of her as felt peace wash over him.  He made it…

“What… where...” Nick started but stopped.  “It’s good to see you again.”

“I know, same about you,” Sam said with joy in her voice.

“What happened?” Nick asked as he started to reliazed he was in Jasmine’s room again only that it was day time and they were the only ones here.  The last thing he remembered was saving Annabel from that man and then nothing.

“Well,” Sam said helping Nick sit up.  “You died.”

Nick let out a laugh but was cut off when his chest started to hurt.  Looking down he saw that he was wearing strips of colored doll clothing that were used as bandages around most of his body.

“Annabel brought you here and you were dead so I did my best to revive you.  You came back but were still unconscious.  Your heart stopped beating 2 more times after that and each time I thought you were gone for good,” Sam said petrified.

“Sorry I made you so scared,” Nick said feeling bad for putting her through that.  He went to touch her for comfort only to wince in pain.

“Don’t try to move.  Your arm and leg were badly injured.  In fact I should be surprised that you can feel with them.  They were particle destroyed and I was afraid that they would never work again, but it seems that you’re healing fast.”

“What day is it,” Nick asked frightened for his answer.  He kind of guessed what day it was.

“Monday,” Sam said.

“Yeah, thought so.”  That’s why no one was here they were at school.  “Thank you again for helping me again.”

Sam hugged him causing Nick to wince but didn’t stop Sam from hugging him.  “I thought you were dead,” She started to cry as she let her emotions go.  They stayed like that letting each other comfort each other until finally Sam let go. 

There was an awkward silence after they stopped hugging until Sam finally said, “I’m just so glad your back.”

“Yeah me too,” Nick said.  There was more awkward silence.

“Sooo, do you need anything like food or water?” 

“Both would be great,” Nick said as he finally felt his hunger and thirst.  Sam helped him eat some food that Jasmine left for them, just in case Nick did wake up, along with some water.  Sam didn’t ask Nick on any details about what he went through so she just started telling him about what she did while he was gone. 

After eating and drinking some water, Nick went to rest back on the make shift bed that was made for him.  He was already feeling much better and could move his arm and leg without it hurting.  His powers were returning quicker than ever before.  Sam helped Nick back into bed and went to sit by his side.

“Sam you don’t have to worry about me-”

Sam cut him off by kissing him.  Nick stop talking as he enjoyed the kiss that she graced him with.  When she pulled back she gave him a loving look, “Just get some sleep.”

Nick woke up again and looked around Sam was sleeping near him, just within arm’s reach.  She looked so adorable in his hoodie that she still had on.  Looking around it must have been only a few hours and Jasmine would be back in maybe an hour or two.  Getting out of bed, Nick did a quick check on himself by stretching.  He was feeling much better.  His muscles were feeling strong and health.  Doing a quick work out to see how healthy he was, Nick started to do some fighting techniques. 

Sam woke up to the sound of someone fighting.  Looking, she noticed Nick wasn’t in bed and looked around quickly and found him fighting imaginary enemies.  Getting up she went over to Nick to stop him from hurting himself.

“Nick,” She said worried about him. 

Nick stopped the moment he heard Sam call his name.  “Sorry didn’t mean to wake you.”

“You shouldn’t be doing that you might injure yourself.”

“I’m fine, but thanks for the concern.  I’m feeling much better now, but if you are really that worried then I’ll stop.”  He headed back to where they were before near his bed and they both sat down near it.  “I really didn’t want to wake you up, you looked like you haven’t sleep much and well… you looked cute in the hoodie,” Nick said trying to not act embarrassed but failing.

Smiling at Nick, Sam said, “Your hoodie is just so comforting.”  She started to take it off the hoodie.

“What are you doing,” Nick asked confused when she took it off.

“I’m giving you back your hoodie,” She said as she handed the hoodie to Nick.

“You don’t have to,” Nick said.

“I know how important it is to you.  It wouldn’t be right if I kept it.”  Sam held it out and Nick took it.

“Thanks,” Nick said.

Sam frowned as Nick put the hoodie on.  It felt familiar… too familiar. Suddenly Sam felt a weird sensation go through her.

“Are you ok,” Nick asked.

“I… I don’t know.  That hoodie,” She said looking at it intently.  “I… have we done this before?  I… I gave you that hoodie before didn’t I?”

Before Nick could say anything Sam closed her eyes as she felt memories coming back as they went through her head.  She was remembering her past…

FLASH BACK

Nick sat down on the tree stump at Sam and his secret hiding spot.  They always would meet here and tell each other secrets and Nick had a huge secret that he needed to tell her.  Sam was getting back from her summer vacation and the next day was their first day in high school.  They promised to meet up here when she got back.  It was growing late and it was starting to get dark out.  Nick couldn’t wait to meet Sam and tell her about his new found powers he developed over the break.  He wanted to tell someone but was scared they would think he was a monster.  He didn’t know how it happened he just started to feel weird and next thing he knew he could lift up object twice his weight.  It was hard keeping it a secret from his parents but he was able to.  He came here every day and learned to control and develop his powers.  Now he was going to tell the one person he knew that would keep it a secret, as soon as she would show up.

Sam was running late to meet with Nick.  She had to sneak out of her bedroom and head into the woods to find their tree stump.  She had a present she wanted to give to Nick before tomorrow.  She found a hoodie in a shop that she thought would look good on him.  Entering the clearing she saw Nick sitting on the stump like he usually does.

“Nick!”  Sam said excitedly.  She missed him so much the past couple of months.  She loved the beach with her family but she missed Nick.

“Sam.” Nick said standing up from the stump.  He walked over and hugged her like they always did as friends.

“Here,” Sam said giving Nick her present.  “I thought you might like it.”

“Thanks,” Nick said looking at it.  Putting it on Nick put his hands through the sleeves and said sheepish, “It’s kind of big.”

“Oh, sorry I didn’t know what size you were-” Sam started to say ashamed but Nick stopped her.

“I love it.  Beside I can grow into it and wear it when I get older.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’ll always remember you when I wear this.  I mean, uh … that kind of sounded creepy right?”

“No, I think it was cute.  It’s kind of chilly out isn’t it?”  Sam said.

Nick stepped closer and said, “Good think I got a new hoodie, right?”  They stood close as Nick kept her warm.  “Sam I have something to show you.”

Sam blushed, “Umm…”

“No,” Nick said suddenly, “I mean not like that, I meant there is a secret I have to show you.”  Nick said complete embarrassed while Sam laughed.  Steeping back he held his hands out.  He concentrated and let his knew found powers do what he practiced; his hands started to glow. 

Sam gasped as she took a step back.  When she realized that nothing bad was about to happen she stepped closer.  “Is that like… a magic trick or something?”

Nick shook his head no.  “You won’t believe what happened to me.  I somehow developed powers!  Like some kind of super hero!  Look I can even do this,” Nick said as he started to hover off the ground.  Sam looked slightly scared now so Nick stopped floating.  “I’m scaring you aren’t I?”

“I… I don’t understand,” Sam finally said.

Nick held his hand out, “Please trust me.” 

Sam hesitated for a bit but finally took Nick’s hand.  He lead her back to the tree stump where they sat and he started to explain what happened to him.  He told her that he gained these powers and he hasn’t told anyone but her.

When Nick finished telling her she didn’t say anything and took it all in.  “Sam can you at least say something?”  Nick asked frightened at what she was thinking.

“How about I say something,” someone said behind them.  They both turned around to see a kid about their age leaning up against a tree.

“Who are you?” Nick asked getting up off the stump.  He had a bad feeling about this.  His gut was telling him something was up.

“Just someone like you,” The kid said.

“What do you want?”

The kid let out a laugh, “Well for starters I want to fight you.”

Nick frowned at him, “Why?”

“You don’t know?”  The kid asked.  “Whatever, you don’t need to know all I need to know is will you fight me, yes or no?”

“No,” Nick said quickly still confused at what was going on.

“Well, I can’t have that.  You see I need to fight you,” The kid said walking closer.  Suddenly he disappeared and was behind Sam.  He grabbed Sam by the neck with his hand causing Sam to gasp out in fear not pain.  The kid wasn’t hurting her but Nick knew that he could crush her throat with little effort.

“WAIT!  DON’T!”  Nick said panicked.

“Will you fight me?  If you don’t say yes, I will kill her.”

“Fine I’ll fight you!  Just leave her alone!”  The kid laughed and tossed Sam to the side.  Before Nick could do anything the kid dashed at him and started to attack him.  The kid was a skilled fighter and started to land bone crushing blows that left Nick breathless and unable to block most of the hits.  The kid was beating Nick with a ferocity that Nick didn’t understand.  The kid landed a gut hit then twirled and kicked Nick back 10 feet.  Nick landed on his back wheezing.

“Why,” Nick wheezed when the kid looked down at him.

“Well since you’re going to die anyway I guess I could tell you.  I’ll start with a name, John.  I don’t care about your name since it won’t matter soon.  You see we have these powers to do one thing,” John stepped on Nick’s chest.  “We have these powers unlocked to fight to the death and be the last one standing, or at least that’s what I was told.  You’re not the first kid I killed nor will you be the last.”  John applied more pressure on Nick’s chest.  He let out another laugh, “I can’t believe you were this easy to beat.  The others at least got in a blow or two.  I must be getting stronger.”  Before John could stomp down Sam threw herself into him.  She knocked John over and helped Nick get up and started to run away.

Sam helped Nick run into the woods.  They went passed a tree and John was right there in front of them.  He knocked Nick over and threw Sam into a tree.  “I guess I have to kill this bitch too.”

Nick heard what John said and felt his anger rising.  Getting up he charged John and knocked him into a tree and through it.  They hit the ground with Nick on top of John.  He started pounding him with a fury he never knew.  When he was done John was coughing up blood.  Nick got off John and was about to go see if Sam was ok only to have John let out a curse.

“I’m not done with you!  I’ll find you and that girl too!  And I’ll make you both pay dearly!”

Nick paused in his tracks.  He couldn’t let John live.  Letting his powers flow through him, he formed a light sword in his hand.  Walking over John went wide eye and started to say he was joking.  Nick couldn’t take that chance.  Plunging the beam of light into John it pierced him in the heart and watched as the light faded from his eyes.  Leaving it in him for a few more seconds to make sure he was dead, he let the blade fade and was about to walk away to go find Sam.  He saw Sam staring at him with fear and horror in her eyes.  She was looking at him like he was a monster. 

Nick felt devastated as he tried to approach her.  “Please, don’t hurt me,” Sam said.

It was like she cut his heart out with those words.  “Sam, I would never.”

She started to back up, “He begged you not to and you… you killed him.”

“He was going to kill us,” Nick said trying to defend himself.

Sam didn’t move when Nick reached for her and felt her tense up in fear.  She was terrified of him now.  Maybe she was right, he was a monster.  He had these powers and wasn’t normal.  He just killed a kid he barely even knew and didn’t even feel remorse for it.  Looking into her eyes, Nick saw Sam give him a scared look.  They could never be friends again.  Not only does she not trust him but because of what John said.  He said there were more like him, kids with powers and if they came for him like John did tonight then he would have to fight them.  They might try using Sam against him like John did tonight.

Sighing Nick tried to think of a way to fix this when something told him how to fix it.  Wipe her memory.  He didn’t know how it came to but it was like someone told him the answer and how to do it.

“Sam… I’m sorry…” Nick whispered as he held her close.  She didn’t move as Nick let his powers build up and wiped her mind like they never meet tonight, he then teleported her back home in bed.   Feeling horrible and mad, Nick sat on the tree stump.  He needed to know what was happening with him and these powers.  Using his powers he started to understand what was happening.

It was like reading a manual for a new tool or car.  He was supposed to understand his powers before acting on them.  John knew that he had to eliminate the competition but didn’t know how to use his powers like using energy as a weapon other than enhancing his strength.  As Nick searched for answers he realized that powers were given to him to fight others into either giving up their powers or by killing them.  It was like the movie highlander where there could only be one.  As he understood more he realized he could never be with anyone, especially not with Sam.  Just being with her would draw attention to her which other will use.

Letting his sadness out Nick shouted into the night at the unfairness of all of it.

THE NEXT DAY

Sam woke up forgetting how she got into bed, weird.  Getting dressed she hurried to get to school.  Sam waited at the bus stop and saw Nick in a hoodie she never seen before.  She went to say hi to him but he seemed distant.  Before she could say hi the bus came.  She tried to get a seat with him but he went to the far back and sat by himself.  Sam was forced to sit somewhere else as the kids were pushing in and filling up seats.  She found a seat and sat next to a girl who she started to befriend immediately, her name was Beth.

As the years went on Nick learned to stay out of everyone’s way and stay in the shadows.  No soccer, no clubs, and no friends.  He even went as far as to let his powers mask him so people wouldn’t remember him.  He would never risk anyone’s safety again.  What hurt most was how happy Sam was without him.  He was tempted to befriend her again but the look on her face when she found out about him killed him every time.  So as the years went on Nick was seclude as he learned the ways of his world by fighting and forming alliances with others to keep others at bay from attacking him or his town to find him.  He made friends that were like him, but really they all knew they couldn’t really trust each other.  Not when they might turn on each other one day.  This was what Nick had to deal with for the rest of his life…

PRESENT

Sam opened her eyes as her memories came back to her in full force. 

“Are you ok,” Nick asked concerned.

“You!”  She said angrily.  “I remember everything!  You,you, you did something to make me forget!”  She hit Nick in the arm.

“OW!  What was that for?”  Nick said confused and now mad.

“I remember that night we meet before high school.  I remember all the times you were there in school and didn’t say anything to me.  All the times you were there helping me pick up my books when I dropped them but never saying a word.  Why would you do that,” Sam asked saddened that Nick would avoid her like that.

“You weren’t supposed to remember,” Nick said with a frown.  “Must have been the relapse of memories from you given me the hoodie twice.”

“Why would you do that?!”  Sam said maddened again and hitting Nick in the arm.

“Will you stop that?!  Jeez that hurts.  I wiped your mind to keep you safe.”

“What?”  Sam said confused more now.

“I wiped your mind because you almost died being my friend.  I will not let that happen ever,” Nick said sternly.

“So you’re just going to forget me when we get home again?  Just like last time?”  Nick didn’t say anything.  Sam gasped, “You were going to wipe my mind again, weren’t you?”  Nick looked away.

Sam went to hit Nick again but stopped.  “… it was because of how I acted wasn’t it?”

Nick tensed as she hit the nail on the head.  “No, it was to keep you safe.”

Sam hit Nick again, “Don’t you lie to me.   I know you too well to know when you lie.  Nick…” Sam said sincerely, “I was so young back then.  I… I didn’t mean to.”

Nick let out a sigh, “I know… still.  I-I trusted you Sam, I thought you would understand.  I know I frightened you but still you thought I was nothing more than a monster.  I… I couldn’t stand the thought of you looking at me like that again.”

Sam hugged Nick tightly and said, “I’m sorry I hurt you.  I swear I will never hurt you again.  Just please…forgive me.”

Nick made her look at him and said, “I forgave you long ago.  I’m just glad you don’t hate me for what I did.”

“Oh hate you for that, but I love you for caring for me.  Sorry about everything,” Sam said as she went to kiss Nick.  Nick leaned into her and kissed her back.  They started to kiss each other passionately.  Nick leaned back into the makeshift bed and pulled Sam on top of him.  They continued to kiss for what felt like forever.  Time started slow as they made out and Nick lost himself in her smell and her embrace.  Before he knew it Sam whispered into his ear, “You know they won’t get back till later because of Tiffany’s soccer practice.  That is if you feel up to it,” Sam said with a teasing look in her eyes.  Nick laughed and instantly made her clothes disappear.  Sam squeaked at this causing Nick to laugh even more as she glared at him.  “That’s not funny.  Warn me next time when you’re going to do that.”

“Sorry I’ve wanted to do that for a long time now,” Nick said as he too made his clothes disappear.  Both clothing were folded up next to the bed.  Nick lifted Sam up and laid her down and started to kiss her bare body.  He trailed his way down her body first to her chest where he played with her breast till she was withering in delight.  Then he went lower until he got passed her waist.  He then gave her a playful lick that caused her to moan in delight.  He knew where to probe and lick to get Sam to cum for him, thanks to Courtney.  Thoughts of Courtney were brought up and wiped away by this moment.  Nick made Sam cum one more time before she begged him to take her.  Nick looked at her and asked, “Are you sure?”

Sam pulled Nick down and straddled his stomach.  She looked down as him and said, “I love you.”  She then positioned herself over his member and started to descend down on it.  Nick let out a gasp at the heavenly feeling of Sam taking him deep inside of her.  The feeling was beyond his imagination.  Taking his hands he trailed them up her stomach to her chest where he played with her beautiful breast.  Sam was moving faster now and Nick could tell she was getting close to another orgasm.  Switching positions Nick took top as he gently set Sam down and started to move faster.  When he was close he was about to pull out when Sam said, “Please, Inside…”

Nick couldn’t have been more thrilled or loved when she said that.  Reaching his tipping point Nick buried himself in her and pulled her close to him for an embrace.  She squeezed down on him with her legs, arms, and her inner walls.  Nick felt like her was back in Courtney’s pussy but again the memory was wiped out of existence by this moment.  After they both finally settle back down Nick held Sam on top of his body as they caught their breaths.  Laying there they couldn’t both help but drift off to sleep…

Nick and Sam were both woken up by the sounds of Jasmine’s door opening.  Jasmine was walking back in and before Sam could reach for her clothes Nick had both of them completely cleaned up and clothed.  Sam looked at Nick shocked as they got out of the bed before Jasmine saw what they were doing.  Nick gave her a wicked smile, “That was a close.”

Jasmine set her book bag down and looked over to see Nick and Sam sitting on the bed she made.

“Nick!”  Jasmine said gently picking up Nick.  “I’m so glad you’re ok!”

“Yeah, me too.” 

Isaac and Ruth were pulled out of Jasmine’s pocket where they both greeted Nick with a hand shake and a hug.  Jasmine picked up Sam as to not leave her out of the group hug.  After they were all done greeting, Jasmine brought them over to her doll house so she could put them in some chairs to sit in and talk. 

Jasmine, Isaac, and Ruth started to tell Nick all about what happened over the almost 2 weeks he was missing.  They asked Nick questions about his ordeal but he kept quiet about most of it.  He only said that he had a hard time and met some people who tried to help, but never said more than a few things.  Nick didn’t want to scar Jasmine for the rest of her life with anything a child probably shouldn’t hear, and he didn’t want Sam knowing exactly what he went through.  She would probably die knowing the full extent of torture he went through.  

With a quick summary of how he was held capture and then saved by Tracie and was given to Annabel to return to Jasmine, but they ran into a problem that you had to solve.  No one pressured Nick into elaborating but he could tell that they knew that he was holding back.  Trying not to have everyone questioning him, Nick proposed that they all played some dolls which Jasmine quickly agreed. 

They played until it was dinner time and soon it was bed time.  As they all got ready for bed Sam asked if he was going to sleep.

“Yeah, but I wanted to stay up for a little while longer.”

“Ok.  Do you mind if I stay up too?”

Nick smile at her, “I would love it if you would join me.”

They sat there like they use to with their feet hanging off the dresser looking out the window into the night sky.  Finally after a long time Nick said, “My powers are returning faster than before.”

“You mean,” Sam asked.

Nick nodded, “We can go home in a few days.”

Sam had an excited face on then it quickly disappeared as she thought it over.  Finally she said, “Can we take Isaac and Ruth with us.”

Nick shook his head no, “There’s no telling what might happen to them.  There is a slim chance that they would make it.  They would be safer to stay with Jasmine then to come with us.”

“Ok,” Sam said slightly saddened.  After another long pause Sam asked, “What are we going to tell everyone?  We went missing for a month or so right?  We can’t say that we went to another universe.  I mean I barely believe it and I was stuck here.”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll think of something.” Nick said as he continued to look out at the sky.

“So, that’s it then?  In a few days we are just going to vanish out of their lives and return to ours?”  Nick didn’t say anything to Sam but she could tell Nick was thinking of something important.  Faking a yawn, Sam stood up and said, “I’m feeling kind of tired.  Please don’t stay up too late.”  She left Nick there and headed to bed.  She felt a sudden joy that she could now leave this nightmare.  Sadly she would be leaving Isaac and Ruth who were starting to become like friends to her.  Then there was Jasmine, who was almost like a little sister… or big little sister to her.  Could she just leave them behind and never see them again…

“Todays the day,” Nick told Sam as they were eating a scrap of egg from Jasmine’s breakfast.

Sam gave him an arched look that told him that she didn’t believe him.  “Really?  Cause you said that the other day.  Oh, and the day before.  Oh, and don’t forget the day before…”

Nick let a frustrated sigh, “Ok, so I might have been wrong the previous times.  Do you know how difficult it is to gauge how much energy you need to rip a hole in the fabric of space to go to the exact place you want to go?  No?  Well it’s not easy.”

Sam shook her head as she nibbled on the egg in her hand.  It was Friday, almost 5 days since Nick woke up and a few days passed the supposed day that they were leaving.  Still Sam didn’t mind spending a few more days here, as long as Nick was with her.  Before Sam could say anything back to Nick Jasmine came into the room quickly grabbing her school supplies.  She seemed extremely happy ever since Nick returned.  They haven’t told Jasmine about them leaving soon and were waiting until they were about to go.  They both agreed that it would be best to wait till the last minute to tell her. 

“Are you sure you want to come along with me to school?”  Jasmine asked them uncertainty.  Jasmine was afraid that something might happen to them if they went with her.  Sam too was scared but Nick insisted that they should spend as much time with her since they would be leaving soon and didn’t want Jasmine to feel abandoned by them. 

It occurred to Sam that other than Annabel they were her only true friends.  Sure she had Isaac and Ruth but they couldn’t talk to her, and the other kids at school found her a little weird that she doesn’t kill buggies like them.

“Yeah, besides how are we supposed to give you the answers to the math test today,” Nick said teasingly.

Jasmine put her hands on her hips and said upset, “I have been studying and don’t need to cheat.”

Nick smile, “Good, so you don’t mind if we come by and see how you do then?”

Jasmine thought about it for a quick second and nodded, “Ok.”

As Jasmine picked them up and put them in her pocket in her shirt like she always did, Sam gave Nick a gloomy look.  “Are you positive that we are leaving today?”  Nick nodded to her.  “How do you think she’s going to take it?”

“Hopefully well, because I don’t know what we’re going to do if she tries and stops us.”

Sam gave Nick an angry look.  “She wouldn’t do something like that,” Sam said defending Jasmine. 

“I know, but people do stupid things when they are upset.  Trust me, I know,” Nick said quietly.  He knew from his past experiences with the just about everyone he meet in this universe.  Courtney, Annabel, most of the girls on the soccer club.  It was probably the reason why everyone tortured the buggies all the time. It was to take out their aggression for the day or past experiences.  He just hoped that Jasmine didn’t behave like most of them.

“Well you aced that test,” Nick told Jasmine as she set them back down on her dresser the moment they got home.

“Really?” Jasmine asked excited.

“Yup, we watched you answer every question and you did great.”

“I’m so glad.  With you two helping me study I won’t have to worry about any more tests.”

Sam looked at Nick who had a saddened look on his face.  “Umm, about that Jasmine.  You see Sam and I are thinking about heading back home… our other home.”

The joy left Jasmines’ face immediately.  “But, I thought we were friends.”

“We are,” Sam said. “But we also have families too.  My mom and dad are probably worried sick over me.”

“When are you leaving,” Jasmine asked saddened by the news of them leaving.

Sam looked at Nick who said, “We can leave tomorrow morning if you want to spend one more day with us.”  Jasmine wiped at her noise and quickly gave them a smile.

“Ok, let have one more fun day together,” Jasmine picked them up and brought them over to her doll house where they played dolls for the rest of the day.  In no time it was dinner, then bed.  Jasmine asked if they would stay for breakfast.  Nick said that they would love to, and wished her a good night.  When she finally went to bed Nick took Sam and brought her over to their bed and tucked her in.

“You’re not going to sleep,” Sam asked Nick worried.

“I’ve got a couple of things I wanted to do before I go to sleep.”

“Like what,” Sam asked curious.

“There are just a couple of things that need to be taken care of before we leave.  Don’t worry I’ll be back soon.” 

Nick took a step back and vanished from Sam’s view.  She wanted to go with him but something told her that it was personal.  She just hoped no one was going to get hurt.

Courtney was sitting on her bed texting Paul to see if he wanted to meet up tomorrow at the mall.  She just sent the text when she heard a voice she thought she would never hear again.

“Hello there, Courtney.”  She quickly turned around to see Nick in a gray hoodie perfectly fine, on her nightstand.

“Nick,” She gasped at the impossibility of him being here.  “How…?”  Before Nick could say anything she grabbed him.  It wasn’t a possessive grab to capture him but a loving grab as she brought him close to her chest and held him there for a moment.  “You have no idea how much you made me worried.  I came home to talk to you about Paul when I couldn’t find you.  That’s when I remember the night before and ... well I thought I flushed you when I went to the bathroom at school.”  Nick was pulled away from Courtney’s bosom, “How did you get here?”

“It’s a long story.  I just came here to see how you are doing.”

“I don’t understand, I’m doing fine but… why would you see me after everything that I did to you?”

“What you did to me was,” Nick didn’t have to say anything as Courtney’s face said it all, she felt guilty.  “But you also tried to help me.  I just wanted to thank you for trying to help and saving me when you found me.”

Courtney was at a loss of words.  “… But what I did-”

Nick stopped her, “Let’s just leave it behind us.”

“Ok, so now what?”  Courtney asked as she set Nick down on her nightstand.

“Everything fine at school with those girls?”  Nick asked.

Courtney was surprised that he remembered or even cared.  “Uh, yeah everything’s fine.  They hate me more than ever, but…” She smiled, “I’m the one going out with Paul and not them.”

Nick laughed, “That’s good.  I wish you two the best of luck.”  Courtney’s phone rang as she received a text.  She looked down and read the message from Paul saying that he would like to hang out.  “Goodbye,” Nick said.

Courtney finished reading the text and looked up puzzled, “Goodbye?”  When she looked up she found Nick was gone from where he was.  Courtney was surprised at his disappearance but wasn’t too shocked considering how he got here and everything else about him.  “Goodbye, Nick.”

Tracie was lying on her bed tossing a soccer ball up in the air and catching it.  She was thinking about her sister she had been acting very strange for the past week.  She wouldn’t say anything to anyone and seemed very depressed or worried. 

“You trying out to be a goalie?”  Someone asked causing Tracie to nearly miss the ball and hitting her in the head.

“What?” She asked confused as she looked at her doorway; no one was there.

“Over here,” the voice said again and Tracie looked over at her T.V. stand and saw Nick stand next to the T.V.

“You?  What are you doing here?”  Tracie asked as she sat up from her bed.

“Just checking up on the leg, everything fine?”

“Yeah… don’t know how you did it but it feels better than it has ever felt.  I don’t even have that scar from when I feel off my bike when I was a kid.”

“Ops, didn’t mean to do that.  I just wanted to thank you for your help.  If I weren’t for you God knows what would have happened to me.”

Tracie’s face darkened with rage, “I heard some of the stories about what the girls did to you while I was gone.  I swear I-”

Nick cut her off saying, “Please just let it go.  What’s done is done.”

Tracie let out a huff and said, “Fine, but still I think I should beat a few of them.”

Nick laughed, “Then you wouldn’t have a soccer team.”

“I think I could manage without a few of them,” She said laughing.  There was some silence when she asked Nick a question, “That night when Anna gave you to Jasmine, did anything happen?  She seems different.”

Nick paused and didn’t say anything.  Finally he said, “How much time do you spend with her?”

Tracie shrugged, “Not sure, why?”

“Between school and soccer practice and everything else, how much time do you spend with your little sister?”

Tracie thought about it and finally said, “I guess not much.  I mean I try but,” Tracie felt like a total jerk now that she thought about it.  Sure they did things like get ice cream but she would bring her friends with her too.  She wasn’t really alone with her sister much.

“Yeah, something happened to her, and she needs someone to talk to.  She’s a lonely girl and has no one.  In fact Jasmine is the only person she talks to at school as a friend.”

Tracie felt even worse.  “I didn’t know.  What should I do?”

“Tomorrow why don’t you and her go pass the ball around a bit and talk?  She looks up to you, you just need to spend some time with her as a sister.”

“Ok, I will,” Tracie said determined.

“Who are you talking to?”  Tracie’s mom asked as she walked into her room. 

“What,” Tracie asked as she turned around to see her mom.  When she turned back Nick was gone. 

“I heard you talking, were you on the phone?”

“Uh yeah, yeah I was.”

Annabel was lying in her bed going trying to sleep.  She didn’t get much sleep after what transpired last week.  She always tried to sleep but had horrible nightmares.  She would dream about that man chasing her and right before she was caught she would wake up.  Annabel thought of telling someone about her dreams but no one listened to her, and she didn’t want Jasmine to think she was a scaredy cat.  Annabel tossed and turned in her bed trying to fall asleep but was too anxious to do so. 

“Having trouble sleeping?”

Annabel knew that voice.  She quickly turned her light on and saw Nick standing on her desk.  “What are you doing here?”

“Well, I went to school with Jasmine and noticed that you seemed distracted.  Just wanted to make sure you were ok.”

“Why?”  Annabel asked skeptical at him caring.

Nick let out a sigh, “Because even though you were going to keep me for your own personal toy, I know you were just lashing out.  I know what it feels like not to have friends while everyone around you is happy with friends.”

“You do?”  Annabel asked.

“Yeah,” Nick said sadden at the memories of his high school years.  “But you’re not alone, you have friends.  Jasmine is your friend, so is your sister, and I don’t mind being your friend either.”

“Really, you want to be my friend?”  Annabel asked confused.  “But I never had a buggy as a friend.”

“Buggies are like anyone else, you just have to be friendly and careful with us.”  Annabel went over and picked up Nick and carried him to her bed.   “Annabel, why don’t you come over to Jasmine’s after breakfast with your sister?”

“I’ll try.  I’m not sure if my sister will have time to.”

“I wouldn’t worry about that.  Now why don’t you get some sleep,” Nick said as he used his powers to put Annabel to sleep.  He also turned the lights off.  He could tell she wasn’t sleeping well because of how tired she looked in school.  She must have been plagued with nightmares about what happened.  Doing one last thing, he made sure she wouldn’t have any more nightmares.  With everything done, Nick went back to Jasmine’s room.  Sam was asleep in her bed.

He looked over at the empty beds that were Isaac and Ruth, who left a couple of days ago to see if they could find other buggies who might need help.  Jasmine told them that she would help them and anyone that they found.  They said they would be back Monday, so Nick and Sam told them that they were leaving and would be gone by the time they get back.  They said their goodbyes and let them go their own way.  Nick got into the bed and closed his eyes waiting for the next day to come. 

“Jasmine, pancakes are done,” Jasmine’s mom said waking everyone up.  Jasmine got up and out of bed and headed for the breakfast table like usual.  Sam turned to see Nick was in the bed still trying to get some sleep. 

“You up?” Sam asked.  Nick mumbled something that Sam couldn’t hear.  “What was that?”

“I said I don’t normal sleep this well, it’s got to be this bed.”

Sam gave him a mocking looking.  The bed was pretty much tissue paper folded up.  “Well then I’m going to get up.”  Before she could roll out of bed Nick stopped her.

“Ok maybe it isn’t the bed.  Let just stay here for a few more minutes.”  They stayed in bed till Jasmine came back with some food for them.  As she entered her room they got out of bed and went to say good morning.  After breakfast Jasmine looked at them and asked if they were going to leave now.

“In a little bit,” Nick said.  Almost if all planed the doorbell rang.  Jasmine’s mom opened the door and called Jasmine to the door.  When she came back she had an excited face on as she held a soccer ball.  “What’s up,” Nick acting like nothing was up.

“Tracie and Annabel want to go play some soccer.  Do you guys want to come with us?” 

Sam looked at Nick with a suspicious look, “Sure.”  Jasmine picked them up and carried them outside to go with Tracie and Annabel to the park to play soccer.  “Is this what you did the other day at night,” Sam whispered to Nick. 

Nick shrugged, “I thought that we might as well say goodbye to them too.”  Sam shook her head at him.  She did want to say goodbye to Jasmine but still had an uncertainty feeling about Annabel.  They all found a bench at the park near an open area for them to play with the soccer ball.  Jasmine put Sam and Nick down on the bench and stepped back.  “Well, I guess this is goodbye.” Nick said.

Annabel had a confused look on her face, “But I thought we were going to be friends.”

“We are, but we need to get home.”

“So I guess we won’t see you all again?” Tracie asked. 

Sam looked at Nick and asked fearful of his answer, “Will we?”

“After everything we went through and what happened…” Nick said drawling it out.  “Why would we not come back to visit our friends?”

Sam smiled.  She was glad that they could come back and visit their friends.  Sure it was dangerous here, but she felt bad about leaving Jasmine, Ruth, and Isaac here never to see them again.  Sam could tell the others were glad at his response.

“Might be a little while before we see each other again but I swear I’ll come back to see how you all are doing.”

“Ok,” They all said smiling. 

“Ready,” Nick asked Sam.  Sam nodded and also said goodbye to them.  Nick held on to her hand and held his free hand out.  That same black orb that Nick used against Ralph started to appear in his hand.  It slowly grew then Nick closed his eyes and started to concentrate.  Finally he opened his eyes and said, “See you all later.” 

Next thing Sam knew everything went black and she passed out.

Sam slowly opened her eyes.  She was looking up into the sky lying down in some grass.  Not giant grass but regular sized grass!  She sat up and looked around.  Nick was lying down on his back with his hand still holding Sam’s.  Looking around, she noticed they were at the same spot they were when they left.  It was the same boulders and open field area that Ralph and Nick fought at before. 

“Are we home?” She asked herself out loud.

“Yup,” Nick said with his eyes still closed.

“How do you know?”  Sam asked concerned that he might be wrong.  Nick opened his eyes and looked at her.  She could tell he was positive that this was home.  Smiling she lay back down and looked up at the sky.  They just stayed there as the day was slowly turning to night when suddenly Sam sat up.  “Crap, my parents!  They must be worried sick about me!”  She quickly went to run back to campus to see if her car was there but was stopped by Nick who was still holding her hand. 

“I’ll take you back to your car.”  Nick walked her through the woods back to campus.  Sam wanted to run but Nick seemed to be acting calm which calmed her too.  When they got to her car which was surprisingly still there, it was dark. 

Sam laughed, “Can’t believe my car is still here.”  She opened her car door and got in.  She watched Nick get ready to leave when she called for him to wait, “You want a ride back home?”

“Sure,” Nick said getting in.  They drove back to her house where he walked her to her house.  She opened the doors and saw her parents setting up for dinner.  They both had a worried expression that turned to anger.

 “Where have you been young lady,” Her mom asked sternly. 

“We were worried sick about you,” Her dad said. 

“Sorry mom, dad.  I… um, lost track of time,” She said feeling like an idiot at her answer for being gone for about a month or so.

“You were supposed to be back a couple of hours ago,” her mom said as she set the table.

Sam looked confused, “A couple of hours?”

“Yeah that when you got out of school.  It’s been a long time since you came over Nick,” Sam’s dad said.

Sam was about to say something about them being gone more than a few hours when Nick said, “Sorry I met Sam at school and we got carried away catching up.”  They both seemed fine with that answer.

“Do you want to eat dinner with us,” Sam’s mom asked.

“I should go see my parents they are probably just as worried.”  Nick started to walk away.

“Let me say goodbye,” Sam said as she walked Nick out.

When they were outside of hearing Sam gave him a wide eye look, “A couple of hours?  It’s like we never left, how is that possible?”

Nick shrugged, “It’s possible that time stopped when we left and started when we came back.”

“But how is that possible?”

Again Nick shrugged, “Not really sure.  Even I don’t have all the answers.”

“What about Jasmine will it be like we never left?”

Nick shook his head, “Not likely.  We weren’t from her universe so we shouldn’t have affected anything with them.”

They stood outside until her dad said, “Honey hurry up.”

Sam blushed, “I guess this is goodbye.”

Nick smiled, “See you tomorrow?

Sam smiled at him, “Ok.”  She leaned forward and kissed Nick.  “Or later on tonight where we use to meet?”  She asked seductively.

Nick couldn’t help but smile even more, “See you in a couple of hours.”

1 year later.

A year had passed since Nick and Sam went to that other universe.  Since then not much has happened.  Nick and Sam were still together but it was a weird relationship.  That summer they spent every day together but when school time came back it was like her relationship with Mark.  They barely saw each other.  She was busy studying or had work.  Nick was barely around due to him having to fight someone or help others that needed his help.  In fact she hadn’t seen him or heard from him for almost a month.  She was worried that something might have happened to him.  If it weren’t for him promising that he would see her today she would have rushed over to his house to see him. 

“Hey Sam!”  Beth shouted at Sam as she came across her path.  They quickly started to chat and talk about what they were going to do over summer break. 

“I think I’m going to go back to the beach again and work on my tan.  You want to join me this time?”  Beth asked.

“I’m not sure, I might have plans.”

“Plans with whom?  Your boyfriend,” Beth said jokingly.

“Actually yeah she does,” Nick said behind them making them both jump.  Sam turned around and felt joy spread through her as she hugged him.  “Sorry, had some business to take care of.”

“So this is Nick?  You said he was cute but not gorgeous,” Beth whispered to Sam.

“You said I was cute?”  Nick said grinning after hearing what Beth whispered, causing her to blush.

“Maybe,” Sam said.  “You better have something fun for us to do that beats the beach.”

Nick grinned, “Well, I thought we could met some friends we haven’t seen in a while.  But…”

“You mean Jasmine?”  Sam asked excitedly.  She wanted to see how she was doing.

“Yup,” Nick said as he held his hand out.  Sam took his hand and they started to walk away.  Sam couldn’t wait to see Jasmine.  Beth watched them walking away towards the woods confused at what they were talking about.

Sam looked at Nick and said, “I can’t wait to see how big they’ve gotten…”
