" Of course! I'd love dinner and a movie, how about tonight at 7?" Jack, a 5'11" tall blond high school senior was on his laptop, using all of the 5 minutes before his class started that he could, talking to Ashley, who said she was 5'5" with blond hair and also a high school senior. Jack could never be sure about these details though because they were talking through an online dating site, one Jack's friend Ben called "questionable" and "for losers."  Jack didn't care though, he found the girl of his dreams through the site. "Lets meet at foot-fall point ok sweetie, I have to go for now. Mwah" Ashley blew jack a fake kiss and logged off just a Ben sat down. "Foot-fall point huh? Seems like a set up to me, sorry buddy" Ben laughed. "It is NOT a set-up you jerk" jack punched Ben playfully as the professor walked in. "Settle down everyone, settle down" The professor cleared his throat "since today is the last day of school for you seniors..." The professor had to pause as the class let out a lout cheer "as I was saying, since it is your last day, the school requires me to play this video about foot-fall point, which I'm sure none of you have seen before." The professors voice was heavy with sarcasm as he started the film. The film opens to a shot of a destroyed city, buildings on fire an in ruins. The scene was utterly catastrophic, people could be seen jumping from burning office buildings as planes swooped over head, only to be met with a massive hand swatting them from the sky. The giant woman in her mid-30's. "This was what times were like just 100 years ago, at the discovery of the 50 foot tall people. Since the wars ending however, we have agreed to share this world" the narration was somber "the giant-human relation treaty established this treaty line," the camera showed several massive pillars, clearly made by the giants, connected by rope just as massive "and we have lived in peace ever since. Be warned though, if you step one foot into giant territory, you are not safe" The movie ended and the professor dismissed the class. Ben said goodbye to Jack and Jack headed home. He arrived home to no parents, typical for a Friday, as they each worked late. Jack quickly ate a small snack and dressed to impress.  "5:30, i should be there right on time" he smiled as he left his house and got in his truck and headed for foot-fall point.

 

As Jack pulled up to foot-fall point, he couldnt help but note the erieness of his surroundings, a lone street lamp flickered at the edge of the parking lot, the shadows of the massive pillars and chain dull in the twilit sky. Jack turned his carr off and sat on the hood, thinking in scilence. after what seemed like hours, but was realy only 5 minutes a loud noise caused Jack to jump.

"oh thank goodness, its just my phone" He answered it.

 

"HEY! Jake its ben! listen, dont stay up there too long ya here, Not all giants are friendly."

 

"Ill be fine, ashley is just late is all, just stop worrying." Click. Jack hung up the phone. a rustling on the other side of the chain caught his attention, those trees were too short to hide a giant so what was going on, he wondered.

 

"ASHLEY!!!" He called, his voice echoing slightly. "Ashley if thats you out there its not funny, get back here before you are crushed!"

 

Absentmindedly, save for thinking of ashley, jack walked into the forest. He walked in a few steps "Ashley!?!" Nothing.

 

Jake turned to check behind him when a large force smacked him in the back, knocking him unconcious.

Jack awoke some minutes later, but something felt different. He was on his back and it felt like a rock was on him... A soft rock... That smelled like lavender.

"Why are you here!?!" A loud female voice boomed over head. That's when it clicked in. It wasn't a rock, it was a foot! The foot lifted up revealing a speck of blood. "Tell me why you are here or I'll finish the job that bear started!" The foot settled back down on Jack, her soft big toe pressing his head against the dirt.

"ASHLEY RUN!!!" Jack shouted as loud as he could, preying that she could hear him.

The large voice above him continued, she sounded to be in her early 20's "Ha! Who's this 'Ashley' girl, is that why you are here?" The giantess presses her foot down on his legs

"Yes... It is" Jack just went still, he could feel his legs straining to remain intact. He was ready to accept his fate.

"Is this... Ashley... Is she worth dying for" the giant smiles and giggles slightly

"Yes... You can do what ever you want to me as long as she lives..."
Jack sighed and the pressure released. Jack jumped and took off running, whipping his phone out and speed dialing Ben.
"Ben you were right it was a scam!" Heavy foot-falls behind him told him that the giant had taken chase.

"Bro, you dumbass, I told you it wasn't safe! Where are you!?!"

"In the forest somewhere!?! I don't know!?! Tell my family i love them!!!" Jacks phone cut out, leaving Ben with his dial tone as another large blow to his back knocks him down, knocking him out and crushing his cell phone.
******
Ben hung up his phone somberly, having lost his best friend, he slammed his fist in his desk.

"Damn it jack!" Ben started crying as he dialed jacks parents.

"Hello, Stevenson residence." A gruff male answered.

"Sir it's Ben... We need to talk as soon as possible"

"You can come over now. We aren't busy"

"Thank you" Ben hangs up and gets in his car, driving to the stevenson's house.

"Oh my god Jenna you broke him" a female spoke, jack stirred slightly.

"No I didn't, see, he's moving" jack rubbed his head, sitting. He realized he was sitting on a soft surface, but he couldn't place what it was.

"Ugh where am I?" Jack shook his head. Oh no... This is a hand. Jack realized where he was and began to panic when a different, calmer voice spoke above him.

"Jack, sweetie, don't panic... It's ok"

Jack looked up. "Ashley!?! Is that you!?!" Jack couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Yea... The site never asks you for your height" she blushes "I'm sorry about my sister, Jenna, earlier... She's over protective since we lost our parents..." Her voice trails off

"That's ok Ashley... Why didn't you tell me though?"

"I... I didn't want you to be afraid... Your not afraid right?"

"Of course not" What have I gotten myself into Jack thoughts warily

She hugs him to her belly "then I guess you still owe me dinner and a movie" Ashley gently sets jack on her shoulder as she walks towards the city with Jenna.

Chapter 3

Ben pulled over to the side of the road. His hands were shaking as his old rust bucket civic shudderd as he turned it off. With shaky hands and uneasy footsteps, Ben walked up to the door and knocked. Only a few seconds passed before Mr. Stevenson answered and smiled

"Ben! How are you come in, come in!" Ben was ushered inside by Jacks father.

"Thank you Mr. Peterson" Ben's voice was quiet and shaky, much like that of a small child that lost his favorite ball. Ben sat on the couch, slumping over and putting his head in his hands.

"What's wrong dearie?" Jacks mom entered the room, sitting beside Ben with confusion written across her face.

"Jack... He's gone..." Ben sobbed.

"I don't quite understand boy" Mr. Peterson spoke. "What do you mean gone?"

"Giants... He's gone!" Ben sobbed hard, but even that was drowned out. A sound that could only be imagined by the best of writers and heard deep within the bowls of hell, a wail so hellish, so twisted and full of anguish that a banshees cry of death paled in comparison. Jacks mother was on the ground, as if being physically assaulted by some unknown force, wailing.

"He was my baby!" She cried out as Mr. Peterson dropped beside his wife, trying to comfort her in her time of need, though having difficulty through his own wall of dread and despair.

"This better not be some form of sick joke son" Mr. Peterson glared at Ben, his sadness and confusion to rage and anger as his wife sobbed into the carpet.

At this accusation, Ben became furious, and lost control. "YOU HONESTLY THINK I WOULD MAKE THIS SHIT UP!?! YOU THINK I WOULD PUT A PERSON THROUGH THIS MUCH PAIN AND ANGUISH!?!" Ben was standing and face to face with Mr. Peterson, close enough to smell the chicken parm he had for dinner and see the edges of the man's contact lenses. With agile speed and agility that defied his size, Mr. Peterson delivered a right hook to Ben hard enough to knock his molar to the next room.

Ben stood and left, slamming the door on the way out, muttering under his breath.

"I was only trying to help you moron" Ben slammed his car door as he got in and turned the ignition. His clunker of a civic sputtered and died. That was the straw that broke the camels back. Ben lost it.

" STUPID PIECE OF SHIT RUST BUCKET FUCKING START ALREADY!!!" Ben punched his dash angrily and turned the key. Luckily for Ben, and his car most likely also, the civic asthmatically coughed to life and jack peeled away. Back in the Peterson household, a picture had fallen due to Ben's exit. It was the family portrait and a crack now ran through Jack. Only jack.


******

Jack couldn't believe what was happening. Only two hours ago he had be merely preying that Ashley wasn't a fake, that she would actually show up. Well he was now sitting on the shoulder of his date as she entered the city. The 5'5" she had stated on the dating site was more like 55' 5" give or take a few feet. Jack marveled at the size of everything. He watched as massive office towers seemingly reached to the heavens themselves, wait those were just the houses! Then he looked down, and boy what a sight. Some of, no, THE biggest pair of boobs he had ever seen and they were Ashley's! Jack took in the curves of her figure, how her frame, while massive to jack, was quite delicate,her ample curves in no way fat, but not anorexic either, and she had worn the perfect aqua blue dress. A dress that said "I'm hot but reserved for someone else." And matched her aqua blue eyes, each the size of a pool to Jack. Her face was that of an angel as well, soft and cute, with full lips and a pair of black framed glasses that gave her that "I'm smart" look. And they matched her brunette hair perf- wait, her profile picture had blonde hair. Jack decided to ask about that at dinner, as he made a mental note, Ashley spoke.

"Were here sweety" Ashley smiles and gently lifts her little boy toy from her shoulder and carries him into a very expensive looking restaurant.

"Table for 1" she smiled at the host and followed him to a small table in the back. Once she was seated and comfortable she gently set jack on the table.

"What would you like sweety" she smiles setting jack on the menu.

"Let me look." While this looked cute to Ashley, it was a pain to jack, who went for a stroll to pick an appetizing meal for both. He wandered among the selection of steaks and eventually picked a 10 oz. sirloin that came with a baked potato side. Satisfied with his choice, jack turned to see Ashley practically drooling.

"Ashley? Ashley you may be tall but come back to earth!" Ashley snapped out of her day dream and blushes bright red.

"Oh sorry! I was just fantasizing about my little man" Ashley playfully ruffled jacks hair, much to his protest.

The waiter came by and asked about appetizers to which Ashley politely declined, electing instead to just order. Once she had finished ordering she laughed.

" I've got all the appetizer i need right here anyway" with that she swiftly but gently picked jack up by his waist and set him in her mouth.

******

"Sweety you have to get up" Mr. Peterson had righted the picture after about half an hour of heavy drinking, his wife laying motionless the whole time.

"What's the point frank? Our only child is gone" Jack's mom sobs as frank picks her up and carries her to the bedroom, laying with her in bed, holding her close.

"Anne, listen" Frank sighed, holding his sobbing wife close, the only light coming from the crack under their bedroom door. "I know he's gone, but we have to be strong... Jack wouldn't want us to be upset... He wanted us happy, that's all he ever wanted."

"I hope your right dear... I just need to rest now"

"Me too sweety"

Frank carefully helped Anne into bed and held her close, both falling into fits of nightmares.

******

"I'm sorry baby please I'm sorry, I was only kidding." Ashley pleaded with jack, who was now standing in the other side of the plate from where she sat, his back to her, and shirt damp, even after Ashley's best efforts to dry it.

Ashley hung her head in shame.
"Your right... It was the worst move i could have pulled... Please give me one more chance"

Jack turned. He spent the whole night nervous and apprehensive about Ashley, he thought his fears came true, maybe they did and she was lying again, he thought. Jack sighed.

"One more chance, don't blow it."

"Thank you, thank you so much" Ashley smiled and started eating, with jack doing the same using his hand due to a lack of utensils.

"Remind me to bring a fork and knife on our next date" jack joked, making Ashley giggle.

"Sure and ill bring a doll table for you to eat at" Ashley laughed loudly, getting looks from near by patrons, none of which could see jack.

"Look at you! Great thinking missy" Jack smiled and ate happily for another 30 minutes, at which time the plate was clear of everything except a small puddle of blood, from the steak of course, and jack. Ashley quickly retrieved the small man from the table and stood.

"Ready for the movie sweety?" Ashley smiles as they walked out.

"Of course! I can't wait to spend hours in a dark room with you!" Jack spewed over enthusiastically, much to Ashley's approval.

The rest of the meal was uneventful as the two talked about their lives.  "So you are really cheer captain?" Jack asked as Ashley paid and left, the cool night air a pleasant feeling compared to the stuffy restaurant. 

 

"Yep, but this is my last year at school" Ashley got on a bus headed for the theatre.

 

"That's cool!  Why is your hair not blond like on the dating site?" Jack looked up at the underside of her chin, sitting on her shoulder.

 

"Oh!" She blushes "does it look bad?"

 

"No, no! I'm not saying that!" Jack blushes "it looks really nice on you actually. He smiles and she laughs happily.

 

"I'm glad you like it sweetie" she pauses slightly. "You aren't scared of me right? Because I understand if you are" Ashley gently lifted jack to her eye level as she blushed.

 

"Not at all Ashley... It's quite the opposite actually" now it was jacks turn to blush as Ashley pulled the stop request cord and made her way off the bus and back into the cool evening air.

 

"So what movie should we see sweetie?" 

 

"I'm not sure. I don't recognize any of these movies... Let’s watch an action movie though"

 

Ashley smiles "battle of 3024 it is. Hang on." Ashley gently closed her hand around jack and walked to the ticket booth “One for 3024 please" The ticket worker nodded and handed her a ticket.

 

"That'll be theatre 10 on the left, enjoy your movie"

 

"Thank you" Ashley walked in and got some popcorn and went in to the dark theatre, which was moderately full, before sitting at the back and opening her hand. "Sorry about that sweetie, are you ok"

 

Jack looks sternly at Ashley "you shouldn't have snuck me in"

 

"But sweetie-" Ashley started to protest

 

"Ashley, I could have paid for myself."

 

"That's not how it works here. Humans are considered slaves or food, and you can't bring food into a theatre."

 

"F-food!?!" Jacks eyes widened and a horrified expression crossed his face "you eat humans!?!"

 

"No I would never! I know what it's like to lose someone you love... I could never do that to another person!"

 

Jack was skeptical of Ashley’s motives. First trying to eat him, and then mentioning that giants eat humans for food. Its wasn’t adding up. Jack sat through the rest of the movie quietly, not wanting to upset Ashley any further, just to be safe.

 

“Wow, that was a great movie huh jack?” Ashley smiled at him and carried him towards foot-fall point.

 

“Sure…” Jack wasn’t paying attention to Ashley, instead focused on getting home safely.

 

“Jack sweetie, what’s wrong?” Ashley stopped short of letting him off

 

“Nothing, I… I don’t know if I can trust you is all.” He looks into her eyes sadly, wanting to trust her

 

“Jack… how could you say that?!?” Ashley’s eyes welled up with tears as his words hit her. “I promise putting you in my mouth was only a joke… I didn’t mean anything by it”

 

Jack didn’t respond. Ashley roughly set him down beside his car and ran off crying. Jack sighed and got in his car and started it, heading back home with more questions than answers, still very confused about the whole thing.

Chapter 5

Jack sped towards his house, confused about Ashley and how he could handle the situation. Pulling up his drive way, he walked into his house to find his mother sobbing and father holding her. Confused, Jack made his presence known.

"Mom what's wrong?"

"Jack?" His mom looked confused "no... It can't be.. Your dead, Ben said so" his mother is staring atJack in disbelief.

"No, mom I'm fine... My phones crushed though."

Jacks mom ran and flung herself at him happily "Oh thank god you are ok! Why would you even go out to foot-fall point? Nevermind I'm just glad you are ok!"

"Mom dad it's fine I'll be ok" he smiled reassuringly. "Lets just get back to bed."

"Son" jacks dad spoke up "please be careful. I don't know who this Ashley girl is, but she sounds like bad news"

"Maybe your right dad" Jack pondered this though as he headed to bed.

---A FEW WEEKS LATER---

"ASHLEY PLEASE NO DON'T DO IT!!!" Jack screamed as Ashley dangled him over her mouth, her tongue exploring his body

"But baby, I need a snack for the movie" with those words Ashley dropped jack into her mouth and started pushing him around smiling and giggling before positioning his head on one of her molars
"have fun in there sweetie"
Ashley giggles and chomps down, crushing jacks head to an unrecognizable pulp.

Jack bolted upright in bed, breathing heavily. "Damnit why that dream again!" Jack angrily punched his pillow as his clock displayed 3:12 in the morning. Jack still hadn't talked with Ashley since his date and he had been having those nightmares ever since.

'Maybe I should call her' jack thought to himself. Jack sat up and turned his desk lamp on, illuminating the studious room. Walking over to his computer, jack logged into OkHarmony, the dating site he joined, and much to his surprise found that Ashley was logged in also. Somewhat apprehensively, jack clicked on the call button and sat in front of his webcam, putting his headset on also. Ashley answered and she slowly came into focus.

"Hey..." Ashley spoke softly, looking remorseful.

"Hey Ashley" jack was uneasy talking to her and was quiet when he spoke.

"Jack sweety I'm so sorry! Please I never meant to scare you" Ashley's face was contorted slightly as she had started crying "I know it was the stu-"

"Ashley..."

"-pidest thing I could have done and I'm so sorry for wh-"

"Ashley listen"

"-at I did and you have every right to be m-"

"ASHLEY!!!"

Jacks outburst quieted Ashley as she looked at jack with tear streaked cheeks "yes jack?"

"I forgive you" Jack sighed "I know you were just joking, it's just hard. I've been having nightmares since our date..."

"Oh jack I'm so sorry"

"I know... Can we meet at foot-fall? I want to talk" jack smiled softly

"Oh of course jack! Anything for you!"

"There is no way in hell I am letting you go meet her again!"

"Jack, who is that? I can't see!"

Jacks father had entered the room, he sat next to jack. "I forbid you to see her. That's final."

"You can't stop me dad!" Jack retorted as Ashley started crying

"Ashley, meet me at foot fall point! Dad, don't wait up." Jack stood and grabbed his keys, rushing out of the house in just his pajamas as he started his car and drive off. Meanwhile, Ashley had turned off her computer and dressed, heading for foot-fall point.

Chapter 6

Notes: if there is only one size character in a scene (all giants or all normal) i will use standard height measurements.

Ashley walked quietly downstairs once dressed, careful not to wake Jenna. As Ashley slipped her shoes on though, Jenna spoke up

"And just where are you going missy?" Jenna was dressed in pink pajamas and her blond hair looked messy.

"None of your business Jen, stay out of it!" Ashley quipped as she strode to the door, which she found blocked by Jenna. At 6 feet tall, Jenna easily towered over Ashley.

"This is about jack, isn't it?" Jenna stood smirking, looking down at Ashley. To Jenna's surprise, Ashley started to cry.

"Jack's dad won't let him see me so he disobeyed and rushed out of his house. He wanted to meet me at the point" Ashley whined and Jenna just hugged her.

"Well, lets just go to the point and try to explain" Jenna spoke as she put her flats on "I'm sure we can reason with this man."

"I hope so" Ashley sighed and stepped out with Jenna, heading towards foot-fall point.

Jack, meanwhile, had just arrived at the point, slamming his car door in anger. It took less than a minute for his dad to pull up.

"Jack, this is crazy! Come home before you get hurt!" Jacks father was livid, there was no way in hell he was going to loose his only child .

"Fuck you dad!" A loud rumbling was heard in the distance. "You never want what's right for me!"

"You really think that?" Jacks dad looked at him in disbelief

"Dad, you didn't even bother to meet her first!"

A large hand descended and scooped jack up causing his dad to tell in surprise. Jack smiled when he saw Ashley looking lovingly at him.

"Jack did he hurt you?"

"No, I'm fine. Can you put me down please?"

"But-" Ashley stopped her protest mid sentence at the sight of jacks determined face. "Ok, here" Ashley set jack down jently and his dad gasped.

"Sh-she... She listened to you!?!"

"Yes, dad, she listened to me. She listened because she loves me and nothing Is going to change that."

Jacks father stood in silence for a moment, the area full of tense energy. Ashley looked down ant the man determined to get her lover back.
"I see that now, son. Before, I thought she was just going to trick you, but now... Now I see that she truly loves you."

"Thank you dad"

"Just please be safe... I'm going to get you a durable phone so you can keep in touch"

"Dad, it's not like I'm leaving forever... I just want to be able to date her as if she was our size"

"I know son but accedents happen and I dot want to lose you"

"I'll be careful, I promise"

"As will I" Ashley spoke up.

"When can I expect you home?" Jacks dad inquired

"Tomorrow night. I don't want to worry mom"

"I'll talk with her"

"Thanks dad... For everything" Jack smiled

"It's no problem son I love you"

With that, jacks father walked away, his head hung in shame and his hands in his pockets.

"We'll that was anti-climactic" Jenna blurted out as she approached from a hidden spot just around the corner.

"I'm just glad that its all over... " Jack sighed in relief "Ashley, baby, lets go. I love you"

"I love you too baby" Ashley smiles before gently sliding jack in her pocket, gently picking his truck up and walking home as the sound of his fathers car fades into the distance.
