Greg opened his eyes, and saw nothing. Or, to be more specific, he saw darkness. Pitch black all around him. He did not know where he was, or how he had gotten there, for that matter. Perhaps he should not have been so surprised after everything he had seen during his time with Parvati and Trish, but this still unnerved him.

Suddenly, a bright light opened up behind him. He turned around, and was nearly blinded by its luminosity, but with his right hand covering his eyes just enough so that he could still see, he ran towards the opening. Before long, the darkness was completely gone, and all he could see was blinding light.

When his vision returned, he found himself in a strange room, with a shiny wooden floor as if it has just been polished. However, there was no furniture--no chairs, tables, shelves, cabinets, or anything of the sort. In fact, there was not even a doorway leading into the room; for that matter, he did not see where he had come from before, as if it has never existed after all. Of course, he was still his usual 3-inch-tall self.

"There you are," said a familiar feminine voice from behind.

Greg's heart skipped a beat as he turned around to behold the sight of who was addressing him: it was none other than Heidi. She was standing over him--her hands placed on her hips--while looking at him with her bright green eyes.

"So, I was told that you like being stepped on like a little bug," she said. Then, her mouth formed a small smirk. "At least this way, we'll both be satisfied."

Heidi lifted her bare foot over his body, allowing Greg to see her unusually clean sole. He did not have time to marvel for long, as the giant ped soon descended upon him. By the time it dawned on him to run away from this impending death, it was too late as her foot soon pressed him into the floor, crushing his entire body flat in the process.

~~~

Greg awoke in a frenzied shock. He looked around himself, and found that he was back in his dollhouse, laying on the couch that he had taken a nap on.

He breathed a sigh of disappointment. "Why did I have to dream about her? It should have been Parvati."

That fact mystified him, but he could not ignore the fact that the dream had excited him in a way that was physically noticable.

However, he was relieved that after today, he would not have to deal with Heidi anymore.

Parvati and Trish stood behind Heidi, their hearts racing due to them standing before the Head Witches for the first time. Parvati wondered how other witches before her handled the stress of the situation, if the weight of those five sets of judgemental eyes all staring at them at once was enough to drive them insane.

"Before we begin," said the witch in the teal robe, "I think we should introduce ourselves. Call me Head Witch Indigo."

"Head Witch Amber," said the orange-robed witch.

"Head Witch Emerald here," said the one bearing the turquoise robe.

"I'm Head Witch Taupe," said the witch to the far right, wearing the grey robe.

"...And last, but certainly not least," said the burgundy-robed witch in a slightly arrogant tone, "I'm Head Witch Scarlet."

"As you can see, our names are easy to remember," said Indigo, adding a smile at the end of her sentence.

"O... okay...?" said Trish rather unconvincingly.

Indigo, as well as the other Head Witches, turned her attention back to Heidi.

"Ms. Light," Indigo spoke, "Tell us what your experience with these two was."

"Interesting, but nothing too remarkable," Heidi replied. "They did not use their powers for any illegal reason, at least from what I saw. There was a close call with a human friend of Trish's, but we were able to avert any problems that we may have had if she found out about us."

"I see..." said Taupe.

"And, as you know, there was the incident with Irene, who broke into the house and tried to attack me. There was no permanent damage to the household, and these two were out of the house at the time, so-"

"I'm curious," Emerald suddenly interrupted. "How exactly did Trish's friend nearly find out about us?"

"Umm... Well, you see..." Heidi looked back at Parvati, who gave a bit of a nervous nod. She knew exactly where this latest question would be going, and she knew that they would find out about Greg sooner or later.

"Parvati has a human living with them," Heidi answered.

This latest revelation brought about a mix of reactions from the Head Witches, from appall from Amber and Emerald, to indifference from Scarlet.

"Again!?" Emerald said, with a tone of shock in her voice. "When will you learn that nothing good can ever come from humans learning of our existence?! Need I remind you of the Witch Trials of Salem?!"

"I beg your pardon," said Parvati, "but that was nearly four centuries ago."

"I remember it like it was yesterday!" Emerald ranted on. "There was not a witch in that town, but even the power of that word was great enough to execute innocent women! Humans cannot handle the existence of our kind of beings well!"

"She's right," Amber agreed. "Imagine what would happen if a witch lended her powers to one of the Human World's more corrupt leaders. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, as one human once said."

"Come now, ladies," Scarlet spoke. "We've been through this many times before. You don't even know what the human is like, or what the situation is like in their house. Please, Ms. Light, continue with your report."

Emerald and Amber grumbled a bit, before focusing back on Heidi. Parvati knew that those two would be the biggest hurdles to cross during this assessment.

"Most of all," Indigo said before Heidi could speak, "how would the presence of a human tip off another human of our existence? Tell us."

Heidi nodded. "This human--his name is Greg Turner--has a rather unusual kink, a few in fact. Most importantly is his... how should I put this? He is turned on by being around much larger women."

The Head Witches looked at Heidi, with curious and confused looks on their faces.

"You mean, fat women?" Scarlet said rather bluntly.

Parvati and Trish were taken aback by her comment; they could not help but crack a smile despite the situation. However, Parvati was also bracing herself for their reactions upon hearing the truth.

"No. At least, not as far as I know. I mean larger, as in that human fairy tale 'Jack and the Beanstalk'."

"Okay, and...?" Scarlet said. "What has that to do with what you're trying to tell us?"

"He is kept as a pet, if you will. This may sound inhumane, but he went along with it willingly. And when I say 'pet', I mean it; at all times, his stature is only a meager three inches tall."

"What?!" said Indigo, Scarlet, Emerald, and Amber together; the looks on their faces portrayed utter shock, and perhaps even disgust. Taupe, however, did not look to make a noticable reaction.

"Geez..." Parvati mutter to herself.

"As I said, he went along with it. In addition, he is very easy to control, not only because of his height--or the lack thereof--but because of his other kink-"

"T-That's okay, Ms. Light," Indigo interrupted, a bit embarrassed. "I think we get the point. No need to go any further."

"Parvati," Amber called, looking directly at her. "Tell us about this 'Greg Turner'. How long has he been with you, and what's he look like?"

"Well..." Parvati was taken by surprise; she did not expect to have to describe her little "pet". "Greg's been with us for a bit over seven months now. He is a handsome man, but he can be arrogant, maybe even rude at times. But overall he's a good person."

"At first, I was also unsure about him," Trish said, "but Par's right. I can't imagine life without the Runt. He's the only one who can even give me a decent challenge in my video games, because Lord knows that Par and Heidi can't."

"Interesting..." Indigo said. "He sounds less like a 'pet', and more like a friend."

Parvati and Trish looked at each other briefly, before turning back to the Head Witches.

"In many ways, he IS a good friend," Parvati stated.

The Head Witches chattered amongst themselves, before addressing the witches.

"We see the good, and the potential bad here," Indigo said. "We will take the time to deliberate in the other room. You three go wait out in the hall until we've made our decision."

With these words, the five Head Witches stood from their seats, and each walked towards a doorway on the left side of the room. After Taupe, the last of the Head Witches, entered inside, the door closed seemingly on its own, locking Parvati and Trish from hearing any of what commotion would be occuring inside.

Heidi turned around to face the two. "We should go out there, like they said."

Parvati nodded in agreement, and the three headed out of the room through the set of doors behind them; the two enigmas that had been guarding the doors opened them for the Witches and allowed them to pass through, before closing them shut once more.

To their left and right were two sets of benches, with cushioned seats. The hallway was silent, perhaps eerily so.

Heidi walked towards one of the benches to their left, and sat down upon it. "Have a seat," she said. "This could take a while."

Both Parvati and Trish did as she said, and sat down on of the benches to their right, directly opposite of the one that Heidi was sitting on.

"...When you say 'while'," Trish started, "how long do you mean?"

"It depends," Heidi answered, folding her arms and crossing her legs. "They can get into really heated arguments. Most cases take at least an hour or two; the longest query that I've been involved with took over 8 hours."

Both Parvati and Trish cringed.

"...Of course, I was with that witch for two months," Heidi continued. "She did a lot of questionable things that the Head Witches had a field day with." She chuckled a bit. "They became so heated during their private deliberations that I was almost afraid that one of them would start throwing magic. ...That was around 30 years ago, though, and I think that they've mellowed out a bit since. But after that, they won't let me or my subjects stay inside of there anymore."

"Thirty years...?" Trish said, a hint of surprise in her voice. "...Wait, so how old are you, anyway?"

"That's none of your business," Heidi replied in rather serious tone.

"Oh, come on. We already know that you're older than the both of us."

"And that's all you need to know."

Trish sighed in disappointment, then turned to Parvati and whispered, "How old do you think she is?"

"I'm not going to answer that, especially not right in front of her," Parvati answered.

Trish looked back to see Heidi leering right in her direction. Trish laughed nervously, and then said to her, "Okay, I'll forget about it. Stop looking at me like that."

Without a word, Heidi looked away from the two women, while Trish let out a sigh or relief. Parvati could tell that that whole exchange was Trish's way of dealing with the nervousness of the situation. They had no choice to sit there and wait until the Head Witches had come to a decision as to how they would rule on the matter of Greg staying in their house.

If they decided against it, Parvati hoped that their order would be to just release him to his old life, and nothing more sinister.

~~~

In the Head Witches' chambers, the five of the Head Witches--now all sitting at a round table--had entered into a heated debate over this Greg Turner that Heidi had mentioned. Humans living with witches was nothing new--despite the risks that it may entail for both parties--but the condition that he was living in was something that they had never been faced with before.

"It's barbaric!" Emerald exclaimed. "It's bad enough that they have a human living with them, but to have him the size of a bug!? That is unacceptable!!"

"I have to agree," Amber said. "If he is that small, what if he were to get crushed? Accidents can happen, and not even us Head Witches with all our power can reverse death."

"Oh, come on, you two," Scarlet chimed. "We've been through this many upon many times before. Why do you two always throw such a fit over these things?"

"You don't get it," Amber said. "We witches are a secret organization. Or, we should be. It would be ideal if no human knew of our existence. We've become too lenient! It's bad enough that their families know about them, and they could easily spread word!"

"Who would believe it, though?" Scarlet said. "Most humans already believe that we don't exist."

"But for the humans that DO find out," Emerald said, "what would stop them from using the witch for their own personal gain as we mentioned earlier? Remember the case with Irene Bradshaw? That foolish girl and her human lover were planning to overthrow the Human Realm, and I bet that it was the human who concocted that scheme!"

"Quit judging all humans with the same brush, Head Witch Emerald. There are good humans who would never think to do that, just like there are evil witches who wish nothing more than to do harm to the Human Realm. ...And this world."

"It's in humanity's very nature to thirst for power! Look at all of their wars, all of their senseless bloodshed! Pitiful creatures, repeating the same mistakes that their ancestors did before them! They never learn!"

Scarlet let out a frustrated sigh. "Head Witch Emerald, remember you too were once human. All of us were. In addition, we witches have had our share of wars..."

The room was silent for several seconds. The memories of many, many years past hung over them, and dampered the mood in the room slightly.

"That was eons ago," Amber said.

"Even if Head Witch Emerald raises some good points," Taupe started, "I fail to see how that applies here. This Greg Turner is only a mere few inches tall. How can he gain any more of what little power he has? I doubt Parvati would allow such a thing to happen."

"I agree," Scarlet said. "I can sense what kind of person Parvati is. She is not the kind who would wish ill upon the innocent. I wouldn't call her a pure child, but she is a good one."

"Then what about Trish?" Emerald asked.

"Greg is under the ownership of Parvati. There isn't much Trish can do to him if he were to want more power."

"That may be for the best," Taupe said. "I sensed her persona as I did Parvati's, as well. She is not a bad person, but... Her energies within are a bit more chaotic, instead of the more calming flow of Parvati's energy. I'm sure you all felt the same."

"In addition," Amber added, "Trish did apparently almost expose us to one of her human companions."

"We could bring Greg here to evaluate him ourselves," Scarlet suggested. "Then we can see just what kind of person this man is."

"Head Witch Scarlet, you know that humans are now allowed in our realm," Emerald scolded. "They don't belong here."

"Yes, we know. You were the one who fought vehemently for that change."

Taupe folded her arms. "At this rate, all we can do is open a window into the Human Realm, and examine him from here."

Emerald, Taupe, Amber, and Scarlet all looked toward Indigo, who had been silent during the entire time in the chambers. Once all eyes were set upon her, she knew what they were expecting from her. She sighed, and closed her eyes.

"I have to find him first," Indigo said. "...What was the address of their household..."

A white aura started to emanate from Indigo's body. The other Head Witches watched as Indigo worked to pinpoint the location of Parvati's and Trish's house, as well as the tiny inhabitant inside. Minutes passed as the aura became more vivid and grew in size.

Suddenly, Indigo's eyes shot open--her eyes also glowing white--before she pointed her right index finger at the center of the table. From the tip of her finger shot a bolt of white magic, which stopped at the center and took on a more spherical form. Inside of the sphere was a white fog, which gradually cleared to reveal an image of a figure within the fog. As the mist dissipated, the Head Witches could finally see the young man inside of the sphere. He had a medium-athletic build, had African features, and his black hair was styled in dreadlocks. Sure enough, his surroundings were monstrously large compared to him.

There was no mistake; this was Greg Turner.

"He's not bad-looking at all," Scarlet said. "I almost want to take him and give him to my granddaughter."

"Stop that nonsense." Emerald turned to face Taupe. "Well, what do you make of him?"

"...I know I was the one who suggested it, but it's not easy to examine someone's persona when they are not physically in front of me. But I will try..." Taupe began to closely examine the young man that stood through their window into the other world.

Emerald, Scarlet, and Amber waited patiently while Taupe did her best to analyze Parvati's "pet"; a process that took several minutes. No doubt because of the spatial distortion between the two worlds that was perhaps interfering with her ability to accurately analyze the young man.

Eventually, Taupe let out a loud breath. "I've read as much of him as I could."

There was a pause in the room as Taupe caught her breath.

"Well...?" Emerald seemed impatient.

"Don't rush me," Taupe scolded. "Greg... What I could make out was a mix of feelings. Order and chaos were intermingling within. I'm pretty sure that it is the same with all humans--and perhaps us as well. However, I sensed something else within him. Something that I could not pinpoint. Yet, it felt so familiar..."

The other Head Witches looked at one another.

"What do you think it was?" Amber asked.

"I don't know," Taupe answered. "I read of him the best I could, given the circumstances."

The sphere in the center of the table then shrunk down until it disappeared from existence. Indigo's glowing eyes had returned to their normal state of greyish-blue irises.

"Head Witches," Indigo called. "Given what we know of the three, how would you rule on this?"

The others looked around at each other, no doubt waiting for someone to take the initiative and speak their opinion on the matter.

Scarlet decided to be that first person. "I don't see a problem. As long as Parvati keeps control of the situation, I don't see anything bad coming of this."

"...I have to agree," Taupe said. "Parvati's balance is skewed a bit in order's favor. I don't see her as the type who would cause trouble. Trish is more questionable, but she could keep watch over both Greg and Trish. I'm sure she has been doing a fine job in that thus far."

Amber let out a loud groan. "Fine. I guess you two are right. I still have doubts, though."

Scarlet, Taupe, Indigo, and Amber looked towards Emerald. She folded her arms, and turned her head to the side.

"I'm not convinced," she said.

The other Head Witches let out a simultaneous sigh. Once again, they would have to convince their stubborn peer to see things their way, that there was not any significant risk in allowing Greg's time with the witches to continued.

~~~

Parvati, Trish, and Heidi sat in the hall outside of the Head Witches' hearing room. It seemed as if hours had passed without a word from within, but Heidi assured them that only two hours had gone by since the Head Witches had gone to meet within their chambers.

"Man... This is boring." Trish complained. "I should've brought my PSP if I knew it was gonna take this long. ...Hey, wait! I can just warp it here, can't I-"

"No." Heidi was quick to answer. "Your magic isn't strong enough to cross spatial dimensions."

"Aw, man..." Trish sighed.

The hall was silent for several more minutes. Not a word from any of the women as they awaited word from inside of those doors.

"Say, Heidi?" Trish called.

"What?" Heidi answered.

"You're a Head Witch with lots of power, right?"

"Yeah."

"You think you could bring my PSP here for me?"

Heidi stared at Trish for a few seconds, before looking away. "No."

"Oh, come on! Please!?" Trish begged. "I'm dying of boredom over here!!"

"Heidi, I don't ask for much," Parvati said, "but I don't see why she can't have her game. Maybe it'll help her relax a little."

Trish was ecstatic to hear Parvati's support. "Exactly! Thanks, Par!" She leaned over and hugged her, which garnered a warm smile from Parvati.

Watching this display of friendship, Heidi could not help but mellow out. "Well, for you, Parvati, I'll do it. Just be glad that your friend here is much more mature than you are."

Trish twitched. "O... Okay...?" Then, Trish suddenly looked around, slightly worried. "Oh wait, those old hags aren't gonna be mad if they catch us, right?"

"As long as we're still out here, they don't care what we do," Heidi replied. "...And please don't call them that. Especially not here." Heidi closed her eyes. "First, I need to open a 'window', if you will, into your room."

"Why?" Trish asked.

"To see what your game looks like," Heidi answered. "I can't bring it here without a visual in my mind."

"...You never noticed me playing it before?" Trish was somewhat annoyed.

"Not really, no. Now, hold on for a second..."

A white aura started to emanate around Heidi's body, and then--between the three women--a luminous sphere started to form right in the center of the hall. Within the sphere was a thick, white fog that obscured anything that might have been contained within. Heidi opened her eyes, revealing them to be glowing bright white. Both Parvati and Trish were surprised to see her in this state.

"Wow..." Parvati marveled. "Heidi, you look..."

"This spell is too flashy for its own good," Heidi said. "I don't know why its creator designed it like that."

"Maybe they wanted to show off for humans," Trish said. "It does look like we're looking into a crystal ball."

The fog inside of the sphere began to fade away. Both Parvati and Trish watched its contents closely, to discern any shape that would soon appear inside. Before long, the familiar image of Trish's messy bedroom started to form. The visual became clearer and clearer until it was as if they were indeed looking through a window.

Trish noticed her game sitting on her bed right away. "There it is, on my bed," Trish said as she pointed towards the spot.

"Okay, then." Heidi rose her right index finger upward, and then its tip began to sparkle with magic.

Just then, the large doors opened, surprising all three witches out of the display. The magical window shattered into glass-like particles before fading away into magical dust. Standing in the doorway were the two grey-skinned dolls that had been guarding the doors from the inside, and who were guarding them when they had first arrive.

"The Head Witches will see you now," the one on the right said.

"Do not keep them waiting," the left one added.

The dolls watched the witches expectantly as Parvati and Trish looked at each other, then at Heidi, who had returned to her normal state. She looked at the two, and then stood up.

"You heard them," she said. "It's time to hear what they have to say."

Heidi started to walk towards the opened set of doors, as Parvati and then Trish stood and followed in after her. Once all three witches were inside, the dolls closed the doors behind them. Parvati looked towards the five Head Witches, all seated at the long desk and their eyes on the witches; the exception being Emerald, whose arms were folded and her face twisted into an angry expression. Parvati could only wonder what had gone on in their chambers during those two hours.

"I'm sorry we took so long," Indigo said. "But we have to come to an unanimous decision in these hearings."

Scarlet and Amber both looked in Emerald's direction. She closed her eyes, and let out an audible sigh.

"Before we get to that, there is one other issue," Indigo continued. "About his current state--Greg, I mean--there were concerns that he may get crushed in some way or another. I know you two have been with him for quite some time now, and you have taken the necessary precautions, but I want to know the nature of the spell or spells that you cast on him."

"Oh," Parvati started, "I did consider that the night we met, and after he confessed his deepest fantasies. In addition to shrinking him, I also altered his body's structure so that it could withstand many times its weight. He won't suffer any injuries from us stepping on him, even with shoes on."

"...I see," Indigo responded. "What is the limit of how much weight his body can sustain?"

Parvati was dumbstruck. "I beg your pardon?"

"...You don't know, do you? Then I will tell you this: you may think that he is completely impervious to death by crushing, but you are wrong. Depending on what his limit actually is, if that is reached and exceeded, he will die. Do you understand?"

Parvati was surprised to hear this revelation. Truth be told, she did not consider that the spell she had cast on Greg needed a limit; she assumed that no matter how much weight was applied to his body, he would come out mostly unscathed. At that point, she wondered what the limit was, how much his body could take before it collapsed under the pressure. She wanted to avoid killing him at all costs, especially if it was accidental.

"I understand," Parvati answered. "I'll be more careful from now on."

Indigo nodded. "Good. ...And with that, I guess you can already tell what our verdict is."

Indigo looked around at her peers. Amber, Scarlet, and Taupe all nodded at her, while Emerald merely looked away and grunted.

"We have decided," Indigo started, "that we see no serious threat in allowing Greg Turner to remain with you two. And as for this entire assessment, we have decided to give you two--Parvati Singh and Trish Hubbard--a pass."

Parvati and Trish were thrilled to hear the Head Witches' decision; they could barely contain their joy. Even Heidi was smiling at this news. Seeing this also warmed the moods of the Head Witches, with the exception of Emerald who just closed her eyes.

"Just keep close watch over Greg, Parvati," Indigo said. "And Trish as well."

"I will," Parvati agreed. "Thank you, Head Witch Indigo, and all of you!"

"Yeah, thanks!" Trish chimed in. "You gals are alright!"

Indigo, Scarlet, and Amber chuckled in good spirits.

"Well, if there is no other concerns," Indigo said, "this hearing is adjourned. You all are free to go home now. Including you, Ms. Light. You've earned your vacation."

"Thank you, Head Witch Indigo," Heidi said.

Parvati and Trish were somewhat surprised to hear that Heidi's time with them was her last assignment before being allowed a break.

The Head Witches stood from their seats and began to exit the room, this time through a door on the right side of the room. Once the door closed, Parvati and Trish could have sworn that they heard bickering from the other side of the door, but whatever words that were being said were hard to discern; even more, the noise became more and more quiet until they could not hear anything at all, no doubt because the Head Witched had walked too far away.

Having exited the building that they had been inside for so long, the three witches walked onto the marble plaza, still bustling with activity from its many inhabitants.

"I'm so glad that's over with!" Trish proudly exclaimed. "And if we hurry, we can make it home in time for our night out, Par!"

"Oh, right." Parvati had just remembered the plans that she had made with Trish and her friend Cynthia. "With all of this, I completely forgot about them."

"Sounds like you two have plans," Heidi said. "That's good. You should unwind a little after this."

"Heidi..." Parvati said. "Thank you for all you've done. I'm glad to have had you as our observer."

Heidi blushed a little. "You're welcome. I was a bit relieved to find out that it was you two that I would be watching over when they gave me the assignment. But like I said before, under the circumstances, there wouldn't have been a huge problem."

"What are you going to do now?" Trish asked.

Heidi looked off towards the strange sky. "...That's a good question. I'm probably going to meet with a few people, but after that, I don't really have any plans. ...I never thought how empty my life would be without my work."

Heidi then looked back towards Parvati and Trish. "Hey, if you don't mind, I have a request. Feel free to turn it down if you want."

Parvati became curious. "What's on your mind?"

"This might be spur-the-moment, but..."

~~~

Greg sat on his couch, watching an action movie with his DVD player. Having returned from a walk around the house, he found himself without much to do except watching movies to pass the time.

The witches had been gone for a while, and he had no idea when they would return. He wondered how the hearing was going, whether or not the Head Witches would allow him to remain within the much larger household. Heidi had said before that under the circumstances in which he was introduced into this life, the Head Witches would recognize him as belonging to Parvati, but he could not help but shake those small doubts at the back of his head.

All he could do was sit and wait until he heard of the results.

Suddenly, he heard the door in the large bedroom outside of his house open and then shut, followed by footsteps accompanied by the slapping sound of flip-flops striking against the heel and floor.

Parvati had returned.

Greg immediately grabbed the remote from the coffee table, and pressed the stop button to end the movie he was watching. Then, he rushed out of the living room and then the house, before he headed through the underside of Parvati's bed, until he reached the open floor.

Sure enough, Parvati was there, laying on her bed, with her feet hanging from the side. Greg took extra notice of her red flip-flops dangling from each foot.

"You're back!" Greg shouted, so that she could hear him.

Parvati sat up, and then looked down towards the floor, spotting him immediately. She smiled and slid slightly forward, bringing her feet flat to the floor.

"There you are, my pet," she said. "How are you doing?"

"I could ask you the same thing," Greg replied. "How did it go?"

"I'm happy to say that it went well. You're allowed to stay here, just as long as you do as I say."

"Well, I have no problem with that, my Goddess." Greg started to approach her left foot, but before he could reach it, he stopped himself. "Wait... Am I still grounded?"

With only a smile, Parvati stood up from her bed. Then, she started to walk in Greg's direction. It did not take long at all for her to reach him, and for him to be completely engulfed by the shadow of her sandal-clad foot. Before Greg had any time to think about it, that same foot stepped down--knocking him off of his feet--and then pressed him against the floor. With his head to the side, he felt Parvati press more weight onto his comparably small body.

"Does this answer your question?" He heard Parvati ask high above him.

"Y-Yeah!!" Greg yelled.

"...Oh, I can barely hear you like this."

With that, the weight lifted as Parvati removed her foot from his body. Greg sat up on the floor, and marveled at the sight of the giant beautiful woman standing high over him.

"But I'm surprised you didn't try to run," Parvati said. "I must have been to fast for you." She giggled.

"Yeah, I didn't even have time to think about what to do," Greg replied. "...Oh! Where's Heidi?"

"She's back in the Aurora Realm."

"Good." Greg stood to his feet, and walked towards Parvati's right foot. Once there, he laid himself upon it and began to kiss it.

Parvati giggled. "I'm going out with Trish and Cynthia later today, so until then, I'll be happy to play with you."

Greg looked upward, though he could barely see her face from where he was. "Awesome!" he said excitedly. "I'm at your command, my Goddess."

~~~

Several hours had passed. Greg and Parvati enjoyed each other's company and roleplay, until Parvati indeed left to join Trish and Cynthia for a night out. It was past midnight, and they still had not returned. They must have been having a lot of fun, Greg thought to himself as he laid in his bed, inside of his dark bedroom. He somewhat missed going out in the city with his friends; clubs, malls, even school offered his life many thrills before meeting Parvati.

However, the trade-off was well worth it, to fulfill his deepest fantasies, and now that the Head Witches had ruled in Parvati and Trish's favor, he would be spending even more time with them, perhaps for a long time to come.

Greg closed his eyes, and began to doze off.

Several minutes later, Greg felt a presence standing over him.

He opened his eyes, and was met with the image of a feminine face with green eyes and blond hair. The image of none other than Heidi.

"Oh my-" Greg was so shocked that he nearly fell out of his bed. "What are you doing here!? I thought you were gone!!"

"I was, but I came back," Heidi answered.

Greg became annoyed. "Why?"

"I'm on vacation now."

"Okay, and?"

"It has been a long time since I've lived in the Human Realm, so I'll be staying here until my vacation ends."

Greg was stunned to hear this. "What!? Does Parvati know?! Or are you gonna force her!?"

"Oh, she knows. I got her permission."

Greg sighed. "Dammit, and I thought you would be gone."

"Don't worry," Heidi said. "I'm not here as a General Witch, though if I see anything fishy I will step in. I'll just be staying here as another roommate in this harem that you seem to be amassing, so you don't have to hold back when you're making love to Parvati's feet." She smiled teasingly.

"Grr..." Greg gritted his teeth.

Heidi started to walk towards the bedroom's doorway. "Oh, and I'll be staying in the same room as before. I've gotten used to it, and have already made my own personal touches to it. Now... Have a good night, Greg."

With that, she stepped out of the room, and closed the door behind her.

Greg sighed again, and laid back onto his bed. "Just great..."

Quite the turn of events indeed. It seemed that he would not be rid of Heidi just yet. He was annoyed that he had to share his house with her for an unknown amount of time; he should have asked how long her vacation was. He would do that tomorrow, he figured.

As he laid in his bed and began to doze off again, he had a passing thought: whether or not Heidi's sole were rough from her walking around barefoot everywhere, or if they were as soft as they looked when she had showed her her surprisingly clean sole earlier that day.

He shook that thought out of his head as he drifted off into his sleep.
