While his apartment had been quite nice Albert had been caught off guard by his new accommodations. The bedroom had come with a bed the size of which Albert wasn't certain of though he knew it was larger then a king sized bed. At the base of which he found out there was a television with the control hidden inside either support at the top of the bed. He wasn't entirely certain were the speakers were hidden but he knew he could hear them very clearly anywhere in the room.

A small refrigerator disguised as a night stand was also to be found near the bed so there were not more late night trips to the kitchen. The walk in closet's size had become humorous to him whenever he had put up his clothes and realized how much space he still had left. There was a home office, gym and recreation room in the structure. The recreation room housed a TV that was actually taller then he was.

Over the few days that he had been there Albert had found many things to not be what they appeared to be. He had actually gone to place some of his clothes in the stand near his bed when he had found out what it actually was. One thing that had been apparent on the first day though was the amount of large windows in the structure. There was one in every room of the building and Albert had a pretty good idea of what they were for.

Each one of the windows opened outward and each one had two similar hinges that met at the center. The hinges weren't obscenely large but they were large enough and oriented in such a way that he imaged a one hundred meter tall Lucy would have no trouble grasping them. It was apparent to him that Lucy had the structure designed with easy access to the occupants in mind even if she happened to be more together then normal. He was just grateful that she had remembered to have very heavy curtains placed over the windows so that he could have some privacy if he wanted it.

What he found the most appealing about the move though wasn't the size of the home or the accessories. Rather what held his interest the most and caused him to keep every set of blinds open except those in the bathroom was the view. Lucy had placed the structure on a night stand in her room so that he was quite frequently treated to a spectacular site.

He had also learned that while the view was always spectacular if Lucy was around there were times when it was even more so. At first he hadn't gotten to enjoy these views often however as time went on his body seemed to learn what to do. Over the past week he had found himself waking up ten to even thirty minutes before his alarm clock went off. At which time he would turn off the little device and retrieve a light breakfast he had started keeping in the bed stand fridge he'd then make his way over to his window and hope that the weather would cooperate.

Currently the weather was cooperating just fine as Albert set next to the window and watched as the sun light slowly began to fill the room. He had woken up a good twenty one minutes before his alarm had been set to go off so that he knew he'd be waiting at least ten for enough sun light to enter the room for him to see through the darkness.

At the moment there was just enough light to let him see the outline of Lucy's body and it was clear she hadn't been entirely stationary in her sleep. Normally Lucy was a very still sleeper so still that he felt he'd been safe sleeping on her stomach despite her scale. There was however a few rare times when she would actually move in her sleep.

This did cause Albert to wonder at times. He knew that Lucy never actually slept at least not in the way humans did. She would shut down a certain number of her bodies and give them time to sort through the information they had gathered without taking anymore in. It was a sleep like state though it didn't require as long, parts of Lucy could still be active and she was far more aware then a sleeping human would have been. Given that she wasn't truly dreaming in these moments it made Albert wonder what caused her to shift her position.

Every thought in Albert's head vanished as the quantity of sun light increased enough that he could make out more of Lucy's form. Her right hand had slipped up under her shirt and come to rest upon her left breast. In doing so it had also forced up more of the material of her shirt. The site was enough to make Albert forget about the bowl of serial he had in his hand and just observe as with each breath that shirt would move a little further up.

It wasn't rare for Albert to see a good deal of Lucy's skin. Indeed at the moment he wasn't seeing anything truly new to him as far as parts of her body went. The difference came from the situation and environment. It was the same difference that made a woman look more enticing in a bra and knickers rather then in a swimsuit.

As stunning of a site as Lucy's left breast was Albert still turned his attention to the right. There still wasn't enough light for him to even make out the color of Lucy's bra however he could have sworn that her nipple was pert. As they had come to know one another Albert had put a great deal of trust in Lucy. So that when she told him that she didn't dream anymore, he believed her. At the moment though he couldn't help but think it seemed that she had been having a very interesting and enjoyable dream.

He'd have to ponder these thoughts later though as he noted Lucy's massive form shift slightly and he looked to her face. His gaze turned to her face just in time to see her mouth wide open in mid yawn as her arms stretched above her head and she arched her back. Realizing that Lucy was waking up Albert moved to stand up but instantly found he had a problem as his erect penis pressed into the front of his shorts and he quickly set back down. "Good morning Lucy. When did you get in?"

Even if Lucy awoke fully aware and energized that didn't prevent her from enjoying a good stretch or yawn. Little bits of the art of laziness were still a major factor in her personality and thus body language. "Good morning Albert. Well this much of me came back here one hour and thirty seven minutes ago. I swear emotions take so much more effort to process then calculations it's kind of funny."

"We finished up with the employee reports. So what emotions are you dealing with?"

It was only after a wicked grin had formed on her lips that Lucy responded. "I bet you would love to know." As she waited for Albert's response Lucy removed her hand from her breasts and proceeded to set up in bed. Once again she stretched her arms above her head this time not bothering to hold back as she didn't have to worry about leaving a hole in the wall.

"I guess there would be a lot to sort through. So did you get everything in order?"

"I believe so. Give me a second to run a quick check."

In response Albert gave a slight nod and waited for Lucy to close her eyes. Once she had shut them he lowered his bowl of serial so that the cold bottom pressed against his dick in hopes of getting his penis to relax sooner. "So what are you solving for?"

"I'm just calculating the angular velocities of the cogs, spring constants and radiuses of the cogs needed to make a clockwork watch based on a starting gear of five millimeters and powered by a wound spring with a spring constant of half a Newton per decameter. Yeah I seem to be up to speed."

"So care to tell me what values you calculated?"

"Sure, do you really want all the measurements though?"

"Mm not really I'll just take your word on it. So how long did that take you?"

"I finished a little while after I began explaining. Now," Turning to the side Lucy quickly lowered her feet to the ground so that the impact caused the night stand Albert's home was on to shake lightly. At the same time she jumped to her feet. "It's a weekend so I don't believe we'll be doing any class work today."

"I'm all for that."

"Why do you have your window closed?" Even as she spoke Lucy reached out and took hold of the latch. Giving it a slight twist to open the lock she then lowered herself to a seating position so that she and Albert were about eye level.

"You know that little feature would worry me if this place wasn't setting on top of your night stand."

"Pfft, the odds of someone breaking in through one of those windows are slim to none. They'd have to drive a heavy duty truck right into it. Now if you're talking about the latch, if you're worried about someone opening them you clearly have no idea how much strength it takes to do so."

"I take it that means more strength then I have in my entire body." As Albert spoke he tried to will his penis to relax more quickly however despite the cold bowl of serial it was taking its time. It didn't help matters that he was able to see Lucy's top though thankfully her position meant her knickers were out of view. What he found once she was close enough was that she wasn't wearing a bra but rather what appeared to be a mixture of a bra and shirt.

"Is there something you want to ask me about my top? You have a funny look on your face."

It took all of Albert's willpower to keep himself from jumping up. He hadn't realized how much he was looking at Lucy's chest though it did explain why his penis was giving him so much trouble. "OH yeah, I was just wondering what it was exactly. I kind of expected you to be sleeping in a bra."

"I had to quit doing that a while back. I'm normally quite still when I relax my conscious mind however they are times I move particularly when something stimulates me. At first this wasn't a problem but after my body began to really mature I started fiddling with my bras in my relaxed state. Then after my strength became too much I started waking up with the front of my bras shredded."

"So that is why you're wearing that?"

In response Lucy gave a quick nod and raised her arms above her head. As she placed her hands behind her head and locked her fingers together she pushed her chest outward. "Yeah, it's more flexible then a bra so it doesn't tend to bother me in my sleep. Then when for some reason my hands do travel to my chests like when I became aware just a few moments ago the material is flexible enough that I don't shred it."

"Ah I see. So does it provide any support?"

"Mm a little, it wouldn't be suited to someone that wanted to flaunt their cleavage unless they already had a good deal of it."

"Like you?"

For a moment Lucy was made to giggle as she made her breasts bounce slightly. "Yep like me."

With Lucy so close Albert could now see that the material was a light blue and looked to be silk though he knew it wasn't. Lucy's clothing tended to have to be made of sturdier material then what most were. Her proximity and the way she displayed her chest was not helping his situation either. "Do you have any plans for the day?"

"Currently I don't. Well at least all of me doesn't some of me is already working on today's activities. OH wait there is one thing but that won't take very long. I need to do my exercises for the day. Would you like to join me?"

"Sure I could stand to burn some calories. You'll have to give me some time to finish breakfast and let my stomach to settle."

"That isn't a problem. So sense you asked me about my plans do you have any plans for the day?"

"Well I just added exercise with you to the list. Other then that, my day is pretty much open to anything."

"You know a cold bowl of cereal is hardly a complete breakfast. You should add some protean and fruits to that as well unless you want to be hungry again in about two hours."

While the voice was Lucy's Albert quickly turned his attention away from her main body and towards the door. He was just in time to see one of Lucy's smaller selves closing the door and carrying a trey with a cut up orange and scrambled egg over. "Thanks for carrying."

"You're welcome." Upon setting the trey down Lucy proceeded to hop out the window and make her way towards her larger body. As the smaller neared the larger the larger placed her hand on the table so that she would have a place to rejoin.

"So are we just going to spend our day here or would you like to try and come up with something to do?"

"Well let me here what you'd like to do first." As she spoke Lucy leaned forward so that her massive breasts pressed against the table.

The affects of Lucy's breasts pressing against the table was quite apparent to Albert as he felt the entire building rock lightly. This served to inspire several thoughts on what he would like to do but none he was quite prepared to give voice to at the moment. "Um, I'm drawing a bit of a blank. Normally my weekend plans are to wait for you to stop and see what you want to do."

"Well then you're just going to have to put more thought into it as that plan isn't going to work anymore."

"Yeah, you're right about that. Okay, give me a few minutes to think."

As Lucy finished absorbing her smaller body into the larger she waved her hand in the air. "Well you have longer then a few minutes. Just like you said, you need to finish your breakfast, let your stomach settle then we can do some exercises."

"That sounds like a pretty good plan. So are you going to be joining me with one of your little bodies?"

"Now Albert you know better then that. Do you believe the equipment you have in there could really provide me with a work out?"

"Now that you mention it I don't believe that it could. You'd probably tear it apart like paper even if you used one of your smaller bodies."

"It wouldn't even put up the resistance that paper would put up to you but you get the idea. I have to use some more specialized equipment and techniques whenever I want to work out."

"Is it safe for me to use the same equipment?"

"Yeah I'll just have to tone it down for you so that you don't end up getting crushed or torn apart."

"You know if I didn't trust you so much there would be no way you'd be getting me to exercise with you after that or at least not willingly."

It was impossible for Lucy to hide her enjoyment as an amused giggle escaped her. "I know now eat your breakfast before it gets cold."

In response Albert nodded his head and went to respond however before he could speak he felt his world shake slightly as Lucy quit pressing her chest on the stand so that it returned to its normal position. Then even before the shaking had time to a stop she stood to her full height putting Albert level with the knickers he'd been grateful to not be able to see only moments before. He felt his penis respond immediately as it throbbed and he felt as if all his work to get himself to calm down had just been undone. "Sure."

Upon turning around Lucy was tempted to give the table Albert's home rested on a quick bump with her rear but she held back. While she didn't say anything she was far from oblivious from how Albert was responding to her. "I guess there isn't really a reason for me to get dressed just yet as I'm going to be getting all hot and sweaty in just a little bit."

While he wasn't sure if she had been doing it intentionally earlier Albert was certain that Lucy was just trying to give him a hard time now. Fortunately with her rear turned to him he could stand up. "Lucy, I need something to drink. I'm going to take this into the kitchen."

"Oh sure, mm I suppose that I could go ahead and pick out my clothes though. I don't believe we will be doing anything that would require more then casual clothing."

For the moment Albert was grateful for the fact that he couldn't see Lucy dress due to her having the equivalent of a walk in closet for her. He still took this time to quickly beat a retreat to the kitchen barely remembering to take his breakfast as he did so. "So Lucy what are your other bodies currently up to? Well the high notes at least."

"Being reminded of one of the main reasons I higher people to help me."

"So can you can help stimulate the economy helping to produce a group of consumers that can purchase the products you develop?"

"Na. Even if I know that one of the genetically modified crops or symbiot I develop won't harm humans or the ecosystem I still have to prove it. Hey Albert what do you think of this?" As she spoke Lucy held a large black shirt with what appeared to be numerous giant red flower petals covering it.

"Give me a second to get to a window."

"Okay, anyway proving that they won't harm a human tends to require a great deal of testing. Now I'm very confident that I already know what the test will be but that isn't enough to satisfy everyone. So I can either conduct more tests then I care to in order to get results I already know or I can have someone else do it for me."

"That looks nice Lucy, but it looks a little small for you."

"Well it is meant to show off my belly."

"Are you sure that it'll reach that far?"

"Yeah it's more elastic then it looks. Other then that I searched through some resumes, after that last evaluation I have some positions that need filled."

"Oh, so is that why you had to take some time to let your mind sort itself?"

"No."

At first Albert didn't have any idea of what to say in response to Lucy's simple comment. So instead he proceeded to get a mouthful of eggs. "So the choices were easy for you to make?"

"Sure, I just look at their scores from collage, referenced the quality of the college and examined which instructors they had. Take into account their attendance, previous job experience, the conditions they left their previous jobs as well as any legal issues and chose whoever has the highest score."

"You make it sound so easy. So does such attention tend to hurt or help people?"

"In the long term I believe it helps people. After all by making use of several sources of information I can make better choices meaning that my employees and their coworkers are more competent and willing to contribute."

"I meant as far as getting them a job."

"Well as for that, I would have to say it hurts more people then it helps. After all I get more applicants then I actually need. That depends on what position you're searching for though." As Lucy finished choosing her clothing for the day she proceeded back into her bedroom and placed the garments on her bed "So how is breakfast coming along?"

"The eggs are great Lucy I'm almost done. It's kind of funny that I never asked you about this before. We've known one another for so long."

"Not really. This is the first time you've ever been bored enough to ask about it."

"Where do you get that I'm bored?"

"I didn't say that you were bored I said that you're bored enough. You can't think of anything more entertaining to talk about so you finally bring the subject up. Previously you always had something more entertaining to talk about or I was asking you questions."

"That is true. I guess sense you're my instructor now you can't really ask how my class went today or which one I'm dreading the most."

"Well I can still ask you which one you're currently dreading."

Upon finishing his breakfast and standing up Albert was relieved to find that his penis had finally relaxed and he was able to make his way comfortably over to the dish washer. "Hey Lucy I haven't seen you all together in quite a while. Just how large are you now whenever you're tall together?"

"This is pretty much all of me right now. I have five smaller bodies currently taking care of some tasks but even if I were to add them into my main body right now you wouldn't notice a difference. Still, I believe I am going to have to make myself some larger clothes soon."

"Didn't you just say that they were elastic?"

"Yeah and that shirt will fit me at this scale just fine. However, in a few months that won't be the case."

After Albert put his dishes in the dishwasher he didn't stop at any of the windows to look out at Lucy but made his way back to his room. "I hope you don't mind that I'm drawing a blank at the moment."

"That is alright. If you can't think of something I'm not against spending a quite evening at home together." While Albert made his way back to his room Lucy moved back to the window that she had been looking through previously and waited. "At times it's nice to just enjoy one another's company."

Upon entering his bedroom Albert only glanced out the window briefly. He didn't want to give Lucy time to get him work up again. He then made his way over to his walk in closest as he did a slight chuckle escaped him. "I guess I should be grateful that this is a walk in closet."

"Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking whenever I had it put in for you."

While Albert gathered his clothes he was grateful that Lucy couldn't see him smile. "I don't believe I really have anything suited to a workout."

"Then just pick out what you're going to wear after words. After all I don't plan on changing. Of course, if you have trouble with that I could always choose for you."

"I'll just wait and decide depending on what we ultimately decide to do." Even as Albert stepped out of the closet he was made to regret his choice. The whole reason he had actually wanted to change clothing was so that he could put on something that would hide an erection better. Now he was wearing the exact same shorts that had done such a poor job a short while ago.

It was impossible for Lucy not to giggle as her lips parted slightly in a smile. "So we're going to both be getting all hot and sweaty in our underwear together. I normally don't mind exercising and I love the results. However, this time I believe I may love the act just as much as I love the end result."

Even as he blushed Albert was made to grin as he rubbed the side of his cheek. "Well, I still need some time for my stomach to settle I suppose I can go ahead and shave and brush my teeth at least."

¡°Okay, I'll take some time and get ready myself. I need to finish up a few things with my smaller selves first anyway."

"I thought that you were already prepared to go."

"Nope, I just knew that it would take you a while to get ready. You take care of your hygiene issues and I'll have my smaller selves move to a safe state so that I don't end up killing or maiming anyone."

"I regret and hope you don't mind that I'm causing you to adjust your plans."

"Pfft, don't worry about it. It's not like any changes I've made are more then a few minutes' deviation from the original. I had plenty of wiggle room to begin with. Besides spending time with you is more important."

************************************************************************

The sound of Lucy's hands smacking against the table drew Albert's attention for a moment as she stood up. "Well then, you're stomach has had time to settle. Are you ready to get to work?"

"Sure, so which room do you keep your exercise equipment?"

"Well currently my equipment is in here. Come on and I'll show you just what I'm talking about." Once she finished speaking Lucy held her hand just under Albert's window with the palm facing up for him to climb down into.

"Okay, just be sure to tone it down for me."

As Albert seated himself in Lucy's palm he was a bit surprised when another occupant joined him. "Don't worry I will be. Now come on and I'll show you the basic moves."

There was no need for Albert to even look behind himself to know that Lucy had just joined him in her palm with one of her smaller bodies. He was surprised though when he turned around to find her wearing the exact same clothing that her larger body was wearing. "Uh sure, so just where is it."

It was with a wide grin that Lucy lay down in her larger bodies palm so that her legs were facing her fingers. She then extended her legs into the air and her massive index finger came to rest upon her feet. "You've been looking at it the whole time. There aren't any metals I've found that could really serve as exercise equipment for me so I have to improvise like this."

"Huh?! All those times you said you were going to work out I assumed that you had developed some ultra high strength alloy to use."

"Albert! I'm surprised you think I'd do something so silly." As she spoke Lucy removed her finger from her feet and her smaller body set up. As she did so her eyes narrowed at Albert and her smile turned down into a slight frown."

The sudden change in Lucy's demeanor wasn't lost on Albert and for a moment he felt as if someone had grabbed his heart. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you."

"You most assuredly are not sorry for offending me!" Once again Lucy's smile returned only this time her lips parted to show a solid row of pearly white teeth in an impish grin. "Because in order to do that. You'd have to have offended me and you didn't."

At first all Albert could do was stair at Lucy as he waited for his heart rate to return to normal. When his heart began to slow Albert finally reached up and placed his hand on his forehead. "What was that for?"

"Well that was a pretty serious insult. Albert, do you really believe that I'm stupid enough to create an alloy that is capable of challenging me? Something that could be used to restrain, harm or even kill me?"

Once again Albert found himself speechless as he examined Lucy. For a moment he had wondered what he had done to deserve such a scare but as the magnitude of the insult he had accidentally given settled in. He ended up feeling that he deserved more then a scare. "I didn't mean to offend you Lucy. That was a pretty foolish assumption on my part and it really didn't show any respect for your intelligence."

"Ah now go ahead and wipe that look off your face. We're even now though if I thought you had meant what you asked I would have had to hurt you." Before Albert could respond Lucy quickly extended her hand and took hold of his ankle. She then gave it a slight push sending his legs out from under him.

Upon feeling his feet pushed out from under him a slight yelp escaped Albert. Fortunately the emptying of his lunges only helped upon landing on Lucy's palm though the softness of her skin was all the protection he really needed. He didn't have time to say anything as nearly the moment he landed on his back Lucy spoke up.

"Now let's begin our work out. I'll start out easy on you to see what you can already do and then step it up. I believe that will start with the legs, move to the stomach, then we can do some work on the arms and chests."

"Uh sure, that sounds good."

"Well then put your legs in the air so we can begin."

"Whoops!" Nearly as quickly as he spoke Albert lifted his legs into the air in a similar position to what Lucy now held. Moments later her finger came to rest upon his feet. "So just how do I do this?"

"The same way you would with mechanical equipment. I'm going to exert a constant force on your legs. You will lower your legs, I won't force them down then you will push my finger back up. Okay Albert I'm going to exert forty kilograms of mass on your feet right now."

Giving a quick nod Albert turned his head away from Lucy's smaller body and focused on her fingers. As the pressure began to increase he exerted enough force to counter it though as the pressure ceased to increase he had to speak up. "Come on Lucy, you know that I can handle more then that."

"Now don't rush this. I'm just trying to get an idea of what you can handle and besides you need to warm up. Now go ahead and do twelve complete repetitions and we'll see if you feel the same way then." As she was speaking Lucy began her own work out. First increasing the pressure on her legs until she felt adequate force on her feet, then lowering her legs and pushing her finger back up.

Realizing that he wouldn't convince Lucy to increase the pressure until he proved he was ready Albert gave a slight shrug and began to follow her movements. As he was working on his seventh repetition, he noticed that Lucy's skin seemed to be warming up. "Lucy, are you alright?"

In response Lucy gave a slight nod. "It's the feed back from my smaller body."

Even though Albert didn't know the precise details of how Lucy exercised beforehand he did know a few details. In particularly he knew that she only used one of her smaller bodies to workout as that was all she needed. Whatever anyone of Lucy's bodies felt all the others felt regardless of the scale. So that if Lucy was made to feel that she wasn't strong enough even while only using one of her smaller selves all the others would grow stronger in response. "Okay, that is twelve can you increase the pressure now?"

"You have no appreciation for an easy beginning. Okay here comes ten more kilograms and don't complain about that not being enough of an increase. Prove that it isn't first."

"Can do" as soon as Albert felt the increase on his legs he lowered them he was stopped from pushing them up though when Lucy spoke to him.

"Not like that. You were letting me push your legs down not lowering them. Do like I'm doing." As she spoke Lucy lowered her legs so that they were as far back as they could go. "I want you to keep your pace roughly the same as mine."

At first Albert had no reason to be concerned so that all he did was shrug. As he turned to look at Lucy's legs though, he suddenly became very concerned. While they weren't his primary areas of interest legs did have a great appeal to Albert and most assuredly added to a woman's beauty. Now he had to focus very closely on Lucy's legs and to make the situation even worse she was still in her knickers.

"Come on Albert, push."

"Oh! Yeah, I just needed a moment to focus." As Albert pushed up on Lucy's finger he was both grateful and worried. Exercising wasn't his favorite past time especially when he had to look at some over pumped or scrawny male. Lucy on the other hand was quite a delight to look upon and follow. His concern came from the fact that she was too much of a delight and he worried how his body would respond. There was little he could do about the situation though except to try and focus on his exercise.

"Yeah that is it Albert. You know it's awfully nice having some company for this. I'm glad that you decided to join me."

Upon coming to the sixth lift Albert gave a slight grunt though he was still able to talk. "Thanks for inviting me. You know if it helps you I'd gladly make this a regular routine. I doubt that I could do it as often as you though."

When she turned to look at Albert Lucy still wore her impish grin though he couldn't see it. At the moment his eyes were focused on her legs. "I'd really appreciate that Albert. Even if you can only do it every other day it would give me something to look forward to. Just having you here and keeping me company makes me feel like I can keeping going even longer." As she spoke Lucy increased the pressure she exerted with her legs and finger making her thigh muscles really bulge.

The amount of expansion in Lucy's leg muscles and the sudden increased in muscle definition nearly made Albert come to a stop. For a moment, not only could those legs but they truly looked as if they could crush granite between them. Unfortunately Lucy's leg muscles weren't the only thing that started to bulge as the sudden show of power got an instant response from Albert as he felt his penis stiffen slightly. "Yeah, that would be nice. Yeah we can make it a regular thing."

It was hard for Lucy not to giggle as she noted Albert's response. "So are you ready for me to increase the pressure one more time?"

"Huh? Why only one?"

"This session is just for me to get an idea of what you can handle. We really didn't do a proper warm up anyway so I don't want to push you too hard."

"Okay, yeah I believe I can handle another set. How many kilograms are you going to add this time?"

"Just another ten" even as she was speaking Lucy increased the force she was exerting on Albert's legs.

While the first ten kilograms hadn't really added to the challenge Albert was quite surprised by the second. For a moment his legs were actually forced downward and it was only through clinched teeth that he was able to speak. "Lucy, are you sure that is ten?"

"Yep! Just a few kilograms can make quite a difference. I bet if I added ten more you wouldn't even be able to push my finger up once."

He wasn't sure where it came from but Albert couldn't stop himself as his lips moved. "Really, what do you want to bet?"

At first Lucy said nothing but only looked at Albert, then an amused giggle escaped her. "Oh, so you want to try and prove me wrong? Let's see if I win you have to bake me twelve muffins each night and they have to be of three different flavors."

Now it was impossible for Albert not to smile as he looked at Lucy. "You know I would have done that for you anyway. If that is all you want to wager though. Wait how long will I have to fix those muffins?"

"A month seems like a long enough time."

"Very well then, if I win I get woken up with a kiss instead of an alarm clock for the next month."

"Mm what type of kiss?"

"Whichever you choo" as Albert looked at Lucy and noted her lips part to reveal her teeth and her right eye brow lift slightly he felt his face redden. "Oh I don't know what it is but I get the feeling I should have put more thought into that."

"It's too late now! Okay we have our bets on the table let's see which one of us is right."

In response to Lucy's statement Albert quickly drew his legs back and took in a few deep breaths. As he did he tried not to think of just what kind of kiss Lucy might come up with. It was going to be tough enough to win this bet without having an incentive to lose.

"Are you ready?"

"Could I have a few more moments to rest and let my legs recover."

"No." The moment the word left her mouth Lucy increased the pressure she exerted on Albert's legs. Nearly the moment she did she noted a change in Albert's expression as he was caught off guard by the sudden increase.

It might have been a relatively small increase in the actual force that pushed down upon his legs however it felt truly profound to Albert. Despite how profound the increase felt though he didn't even begin to suspect that Lucy might have added more force then she said she would. There was no reason for him to cast such doubt upon her.

"Well come on big man show me what you got."

By no means did Albert push up right away but instead chose to take a few more moments to catch his breath. Only when he noted Lucy's gaze changing did he push up on her finger. The resistance that met him felt far greater then he had expected it to and it took a moment for him to budge Lucy's finger. As he pushed her finger upwards he tried to remember to breathe as his muscle's need for oxygen grew.

Even if Lucy had made a bet with Albert she actually wanted him to succeed. While she was used to being right if it meant something good for her best friend she didn't mind losing. "Come on Albert. You're making it just keep pushing. If you can keep that up you'll do it."

With each bit Albert forced Lucy's finger up he grew more certain that if he had been allowed to wrest the task would have been easy. Even with the few moments he had taken to catch his breath he had been no where near one hundred percent. Despite the bet though he didn't think Lucy had rushed him so that he would lose. She needed to find out what he could do regularly and if he had to be fully rested to counter such force even once there was no way he could do it as a exercise routine.

"Steady Albert, you're not beaten until your legs have been forced down." As she was speaking Lucy lifted Albert and her smaller body higher as if to get a better view. Indeed she found herself quite curious if Albert would succeed though the change in height didn't truly help her view but was rather a reflexive action.

As Albert neared two thirds of the way his legs began to wobble as the oxygen supply to his muscles proved inadequate to meet the need. Hearing Lucy encouraging actually served to spur him onward but as his upward progress drew to a stop he worried he wouldn't be able to make it.

"Don't give up now Albert focus and keep thinking of the prize."

A grunt of effort escaped Albert as he renewed his efforts however as Lucy's finger moved up just a few more his legs seemed to give out. So while he was able to bring it up a centimeter or two his legs soon began to be pushed downward.

"Quit holding your breath Albert."

In response to Lucy's words Albert took in a deep gasp however even while he was trying to get more oxygen into himself his legs were still giving out. In the end he didn't seem to be able to take in the oxygen fast enough either. "Darn it!"

For a moment Lucy couldn't help but giggle as she extended a hand and placed it on Albert's head. "Hey you tried. Still, you came close and for that I think you deserve a little something." Rolling over onto her stomach Lucy pushed herself up on her hands and scooted forward a bit so that her face was just above Albert's and then drew herself a bit further up so that her breasts were nearly pressing against him

Even if Albert wanted to keep control of his body it was impossible for him not to look to the side as Lucy's breasts were so close to his head he could have sworn he felt heat radiating from them. Then when her lips pressed against the very top of his forehead they seemed to brush against him ever so slightly. This slight touch was all his body needed for his penis to respond though he was able to keep from becoming fully erect.

As she drew away from him Lucy didn't need to look at Albert's crotch to know she had gotten a response. "Okay, now you just rest for a moment while I finish my leg presses. Once that is done we can move on to the stomach crunches."

In response Albert slowly nodded his head and moved to look away. He needed time to regain himself. He hadn't noticed Lucy lifting them higher though and was somewhat surprised when he found himself looking directly at the breasts of her larger body. That didn't help his situation and he quickly chose to focus on the roof. "Sure that would be fine. So how many leg lifts do you tend to do?"

¡°I try to do nine sets of increasing force."

¡°Isn't that a little odd?"

¡°Yeah it is a little but I find it works for me. At first I would just warm up and then chose a force that was challenging but I could do several sets of. As I experimented though I found there was a more effective way for me to exercise."

¡°Which is doing several sets of increasing pressure, how does that work though?"

¡°As far as I can tell it works like this. When I exercise using a set pressure my body tries to adapt so that amount of force can no longer challenge me so long as it is challenging enough. That said it only adapts to that level. If however I do several sets each time increasing the pressure my body doesn't just respond to what the maximum force was but tries to prepare itself for what the next maximum would be even if I never do it. That is provided I do enough sets and each one is challenging enough."

¡°Oh that just isn't fair! Not only does your body respond to a challenge but then it tries to anticipate and prepare itself for the next level in advance."

¡°If it's handled correctly that is right. I don't see why it isn't fair though. If you earn something don't you have the right to use it to its full advantage?"

It took a moment but at last Albert nodded his head. "You have me there. I could say that you were given that body more then you earned it but honestly I feel like I'd be lying. You earned it."

¡°Not that I'm disagreeing but why do you say that? Was it because of the ordeal I went through?"

Now Albert was made to chuckle as he shook his head. "No. If horrible pain and bad odds was enough then they would be many deserving. You earned your body by being who you are. By being the type of person that symbi could reside within. You gave symbi permission to live within you, to be an equal and a friend in your body. So in return symbi did um which is symbi a he or a she?"

Now Lucy had a wide grin on her face though there was no hint of mischief in it. "You know that perplexed me for a long while however I finally resolved symbi is a she."

"Okay, you did all of that for her and in return she did her best for you. That is why I say and believe you earned everything that you are."

Instead of commenting Lucy just turned back to her exercises though her smile didn't diminish in the least. "Next time while you're warming up I'll go ahead and get started so that you don't have to wait on me."

"Hey I know what we can do. We could go and pick me out some clothing to wear while exercising."

"Mm that is one thing but you know what?"

"What?"

"I like what you're wearing now." As she finished speaking Lucy stuck the very tip of her tongue out at Albert.

"I see."

"Of course, if you want to get some skin tight outfit to wear that is fine by me as well."

"Um no, I guess I really wasn't thinking. Yeah shorts and a t-shirt are just fine."

"Okay Albert, I only have three more sets to go. I won't be able to speak during this though and you need to be careful."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm going to have to really focus on what I'm going and I'll be using all of my strength. If I had to move another part of me I might end up using all my strength."

"I see. Okay shutting up." As he finished speaking Albert was tempted to turn and watch Lucy as she worked out. However, given that he only had three more sets and he'd have to change position he knew he couldn't. His penis wasn't fully erect yet but he knew Lucy had already noticed it. So all he could settle for is not letting it be outright blatant.

When Albert had first noticed Lucy's hand heating up he hadn't been sure if it was him or her. While she pushed herself harder though he quickly became certain that it was and on a whim closed his eyes and pressed his cheek to her palm. The heat Albert felt on his cheek was quite noticeable and given how much insulation Lucy's skin provided he knew that the heat inside of her body would be tremendous.

Lucy wasn't actually worried about harming Albert despite what she had said. She was however worried that if he made her flinch she would damage her home. It would have been all too easy for her to send a foot or hand through the floor with the amount of effort she was currently exerting. Still despite her warning she couldn't help but speak. "Albert, look."

Opening his eyes Albert didn't question what Lucy wanted him to see but turned to see where she was looking. He didn't have to follow her gaze to see what she wanted him to see as he saw her eyes. The lovely blue sapphire of Lucy's eyes had actually begun to glow due to the energy pumping through her body. As he looked into those glowing eyes he imagined that similar events were going on throughout her body but he could only see it through her eyes.

It was surprising to Lucy but as Albert looked into her eyes her fatigue seemed to melt away as she continued her exercise. So she was quite glad when he didn't look away or comment but seemed transfixed by her eyes as she looked back at him. Only when Lucy began to set up did Albert speak.

"That is amazing. How come you never showed me that before?"

With her eyes still aglow Lucy relaxed the pressure on her legs and set up. "It only happens whenever I really push myself and we just haven't been in a situation for me to show you. It's pretty neat isn't it?"

"Yeah, but how long has this been going on?"

"It happened about a year after my last bit of metallic exercise equipment quit providing enough resistance for me and I had to switch to using several bodies to exercise."

"So do you know what causes it?"

"I can't be certain. However, if you generate enough heat you're going to emit photons of some wavelength. So I believe that is the cause and the reason my eyes seem to glow is it's the only part of me in which you can really see them escaping. Okay, now let's move on to the crunches."

Giving his head a quick nod Albert followed Lucy's movements and turned his back to her fingers. As he turned around he felt her hand shift and her fingers came up so that they were leaning against them. A few moments later he felt something just brushing against the top of his head and looked up to find Lucy's finger above them. "Okay just how are we going to do this?"

"That is easy." Reaching up Lucy took hold of the tip of her fingernail. "You just take hold like this and try to bring yourself forward using only your stomach muscles."

Giving a quick nod and following suit Albert was actually relieved whenever he realized the movement forced Lucy to hold them so that they weren't looking towards her larger body. "Okay, so are you ready to go?"

"Yes but I want you to try and keep pace with me. No jerking motions just nice steady repetitions."

Having first thought that he would get a break and have some time to regain his composer Albert was somewhat unnerved by this news. However, he was far happier then distressed as it would give him an excuse to focus on Lucy. "Sure. So do you do these like you do your legs?"

"Yeah, it works for all of me after all." Leaning back against her fingers Lucy took in a deep breath then turned towards Albert. "Oh and just so you know I'm going to be watching you to make sure you're using the correct form."

There was no attempt to turn away from Lucy's gaze on Albert's part but instead he focused intently on her. "Sure that would be helpful."

"Albert, what you need to be focusing on for this exercise is right here." As she spoke Lucy released her hold on her fingernail and proceeded to point down at her body below her neck.

Lucy had never been one to be shy and as her body had grown she had no issue showing it off. Despite that Albert was not expecting her to not only give him permission to focus his gaze on her body but that was what he was supposed to do. There was no way he was going to argue with her over the matter though. So that he quickly shifted his gaze down to her body.

"That's better now let's begin." Retaking hold of her fingernail Lucy proceeded to draw herself forward with Albert following suit only moments later. As she moved forward the muscles in her stomach flex so that the cuts became all the deeper and more noticeable.

Upon noting the sudden increase in muscle definition Albert actually found his mind shifting from Lucy's smaller body to her larger. Lucy's muscles were wonderfully defined and it seemed to Albert she could easily hold a dime or something of similar width between those chasms of muscle. So that he was made to wonder if she might be able to fit a human hand, foot or more within then cuts in her larger body.

"How do you feel Albert?"

Even with his attention brought back to Lucy's smaller body Albert didn't take his eyes away from her stomach. "I'm feeling good Lucy. I believe that I can handle more resistance."

"You've been doing a good job of keeping pace with me. I guess you really like what you see."

"More then I can put into words."

Even as Lucy smiled she felt herself blush slightly. "I'm glad to here that Albert. Okay Lean back and I'll increase the pressure some. Would you mind telling me what you were thinking about?"

"I was just thinking that if you were to flex like that while I was near your stomach I might be able to climb up it."

"Now that is a fun idea. Would you like to try later?"

"I'd be delighted to. Perhaps we could do that for my upper body exercise."

"It would be nice if you could however I don't believe that is a good idea. Your arms may still be up to the task but your legs need time to recover."

"Yeah you're probably right. So how about we try the day after tomorrow?"

An amused chuckle escaped Lucy as she gave her head a quick nod. "You really seem enthusiastic about this. Well I'm glad that my nice toned tummy is enough to get you into exercising and sure. I'd be glad to let you tickle me while you tried to climb my stomach."

"Okay, so how about you add a little more resistance?"

"Focus on your breathing this time and don't talk or you won't be able to do a complete set."

"Okay."

As close as Albert was watching her Lucy was watching Albert even more closely. Despite his shirt and the bit of a gut he had she could see the muscle working underneath. "Albert. Would you let me plan your exercise routine?"

There was no way Albert could respond right away as he focused on his crunches and he knew Lucy knew it. So he felt certain she meant for him to take the time he was crunching to consider the question. Unfortunately he wasn't able to do as Lucy wished as he made his decision nearly the same that Lucy asked him so the answer came freely. "You don't even need to ask Lucy. Sure you may."

"So there isn't a particular part of your body you want to develop?"

"There is no part in particular unless there is something about my body you'd like me to develop or you feel I should work on."

For a moment Lucy bit down on her lower lip as if she was trying to hold something in but the question couldn't be kept. "So you are giving me permission to remake your body however I want?"

It was impossible for Albert not to chuckle as he shook his head. "Yes Lucy. Provided I remain a male and don't have anything that a male should not have. I'd be quite upset with you if I woke up one day and found a b cup on my chest."

"Oh then how would you feel about something larger then a b cup?"

"No thank you and no way." While Lucy had told him that she wanted him to focus on her body Albert now chanced a look at her face. What he saw was that same toothy smile.

"Why Albert I'm surprised. You mean you wouldn't like to wake up with these pressed against your chest?" As she spoke Lucy thrust her chest outward.

Instantly Albert realized he'd made a grave error in the wording he had used. "Oh no! I'd be fine with that! More then fine that would be exceptional! I just don't want the breasts to be attached to my body."

A slight chuckle escaped Lucy as she looked at the expression on Albert's face. "Ah I see. For a moment I was kind of worried."

Now Albert was made to sigh as he repositioned himself so that he could lie down in Lucy's palm. "Do I still have permission to observe closely?"

"I'd be upset if you didn't. You know I love having an appreciative audience."

"I remember the first time you caught me looking at your cleavage. If my memory serves me you said. Look much closer and they may just swallow you up. Yet despite that warning I wasn't able to tear my eyes away heck it seemed to glue them there."

"Actually, you remember the first time I caught you looking at my cleavage and I told you. I kept quiet for a while as honestly I worried you might start looking away."

"Why do I not find that to be the least bit surprising?. Actually, before you told me that I tried to keep from looking but well. It's awfully hard not to admire such a wonderful work of art."

"Then why aren't you admiring them now?"

"Well your face is very nice to admire as well."

"Okay Albert. I'm going to have to focus for these last few sets. Feel free to keep admiring though."

"Can and will do" as he spoke Albert adjusted his position so that he would have a good view of Lucy's cleavage whenever she leaned forward as well as a wonderful view of her stomach muscles when she leaned back. Lucy had long ago come to terms with the fact that people were going to stair at her but she had not become indifferent. Given how proud of her body Lucy was and that she had accepted people would look long ago she had began expecting people to look at her whether in fear, admiration hatred or any mixture of the three.

The inability of the situation had actually caused Lucy to develop a craving for such attention. This did not however help the media as apparently the craving was only met whenever the people where physically there and Lucy could see their reactions. She also tended to want this attention from certain sources at different times and for the moment it seemed she wanted it from Albert. For his part Albert had learned long ago that when Lucy wanted attention it was safest for everyone if she got it.

Despite knowing Lucy desired such attention as Albert watched her he couldn't help but feel she was seeking an abnormal amount. Lucy had always used her body to tease him and now that they were living together it only made sense it would increase. However, she'd really been working him over ever since they had started exercising together. He was glad to give her the attention she wanted but he still had to wonder just what was going on.

"Albert, let's go to the arm curls now. You can go first and then it'll be my turn. That way you can recover a bit for the bench press."

"Why aren't we doing them together?"

"Mm that would be kind of difficult. I would have to position my hand in a really awkward manner which could cause some problems."

"Okay. So how are we going to do this?"

"A bit differently then what I am. Go ahead and stand up." Even as Albert was standing up Lucy was extending her fingers so they had more room to work. She had also stood up and moved to stand behind him.

With Lucy standing behind him Albert had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen next. He still felt the need to ask though if only to let her know he was ready. "What's next?"

Before speaking Lucy took a step forward and pressed her breasts against Albert's back. She then reached around the front of him and took hold of his hands. "Well first you move your hands to your side like this." As she moved Albert's hand Lucy pressed her breasts more firmly into his back using the straitening of their arms as an excuse. "Now what you're going to do is curl your arms upward while I exert pressure on your hands to try and keep them down."

"You're not going to pin my arms are you?"

"Nope, I'll exert a constant pressure of no more then fifty five kilograms."

Giving a slight nod when Albert went to curl his arms he expected Lucy to move back. Instead he found the action forced her to press herself even more firmly against him. As she did he knew that he felt her nipples poking him in the back reminding him that she was effectively in her bra. His body responded instantly as his arms moved upward his penis pushed outward.

"Mm that is good Albert. Just keep your motions nice and steady." As Albert lowered his arms back down Lucy moved back ever so slightly causing her breasts to rub against his back.

Years of riding in Lucy's shirt pocket had at least helped prepare Albert for this situation to a limited extent. Though, he was grateful that he only had to deal with those wonderful breasts pressing into him on a relatively small scale. If he'd been pressed into her larger body's chest so that the whole of his back was engulfed by just one of Lucy's breasts he knew he'd be fully erect and aching by now.

Normally during such times he would try talking to Lucy to get his mind off the fact that he was pressed against more breasts flesh then most men would ever handle in their life. With Lucy in such a playful state at the moment he didn't know if that was possible. "So how am I doing?"

"You're doing very well for your first day. It's a bit of a road ahead but you haven't grumbled even once."

"I doubt that I would feel this way if I had to do this alone but so far I've enjoyed myself."

"That's good to know I've enjoyed myself as well though we aren't finished yet. I hope that you'll feel the same way the day after tomorrow. I won't be taking it as easy on you."

"As long as you're there to encourage me I'm sure that I can make it through. I just hope that I'm contributing to your exercise."

In response Lucy brought her head down close to Albert's neck and placed a gentle kiss on the side. "You are. Believe me you're making this far more enjoyable for me as well. I got in an extra set of reps just by thinking that you were watching me."

While Albert was able to speak calmly this was only due to much practice. In truth those warm lips hadn't helped his situation and he was seriously considering disposing of all his baggy shorts and trousers. "So after this, I hope you don't mind if I get cleaned up."

"I plan on taking a bath as well. Mm it looks like a set and a third might be all you have in you at this pressure."

Giving a slight nod Albert continued to grit his teeth and attempt to force Lucy's arm up but at last a sigh escaped him and he relaxed. "Yeah, I believe you're right."

Before Albert could walk away under his own power Lucy quickly took hold of his shoulders and lifted him off the ground. She then spun him around and proceeded to set him back down. Instead of setting Albert strait down though Lucy pulled him forward so that her breasts pressed into his chests and his penis just touched her thigh.

The moment he turned around Albert saw Lucy's smile. Her lips were parted revealing rows of perfectly strait pearly white teeth framed by her soft pastel lips. It was a sight that was beautiful and fearsome all at once as if a lover's tender welcome had merged with a lioness's snarl just before a pounce. With those eyes focused on him Albert had a very good idea of who the prey was. "Now it's your turn to watch me."

Once again Lucy's actions came faster then Albert could speak as she gave him a slight push. He stumbled backwards ever so slightly before ending up on his bottom in Lucy's palm. There was no protest on his part as he took in a deep breath. His heart raced as it pounded against the inside of his chest as Lucy proceeded to turn her back towards him showing off her wonderfully firm rear.

With her back to Lanresil Lucy curled the fingers of her larger body and pressed them against her hands on either side of her. As she went to bring her arms up the muscles in her back and arms were made to expand. She didn't need to see Albert to know that this had an affect on him as she felt him shift forward in her hand in order to get a better look.

Even as he moved closer Albert couldn't help but think of Lucy's smile. He had seen that smile before and there was most assuredly something predatory about it. More often then not it appeared whenever Lucy was about to repay someone for some injustice or when she had every intention of getting her way. There had been other times that he had seen it though which he tried to recall.

As he watched Lucy Albert felt there was something important that he was forgetting. Not in such a way that there was something he needed to do but something about Lucy. Unfortunately his penis was trying to do the thinking for him and its insight into the situation was of no help to him. "So what kind of muffins would you like?"

"Mm some strawberry and blueberry would be nice. How about you surprise me with the third treat?"

"Sure, how would you like me to make them?"

"The same way you like them, big, warm and soft." As she spoke Lucy turned to the side for just a moment giving Albert a side view of her breasts.

Giving a slight sigh Albert started to scoot back in hopes of getting himself to relax. He didn't get very far though as he felt something very big and warm behind him. He didn't need to look behind himself to know what had happened. While he had been trying to compose himself after being pushed down Lucy had brought her hand closer to her chest and now he had just scooted into her breasts.

"Careful Albert, you might have scooted off just then if I hadn't repositioned my hand."

It was impossible for Albert not to try something despite all his efforts to maintain his composure. "Thanks, so is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Mm, keep watching."

"Is that all you would like for me to do?"

"Mm yes it is. For now, just stay where you are and watch me. Let your arms rest and we can move onto the bench press."

The urge to stand up, embrace and kiss Lucy was nearly overwhelming Albert. Yet she had just told him all she wanted him to do was watch. This was far from what he wanted to hear. Yet it was what Lucy wanted him to do and he would do it. "You know your calves are wonderfully heart shaped and the way the muscles flex in your back when you lift upward is spectacular."

"MM please go on."

"I can't help but think about when we went swimming and the way that I climbed your hair then. Then my mind turns to thoughts of what if the body you held in your hand now was as great as your current body and how large that would truly make you. I bet you could make walking across your back quite an experience at that scale and with your level of muscle control."

"Mm when that day comes I'll have to let you find out."

"There is one thing I regret right now and that is the size of the bodies you use to exercise. It would be wonderful to see your body in action at a larger scale so that I could pay careful attention to even the tiniest details."

"In that case later on I'll have to put on a show for you. After I've finished working out you'll have to let me show you these muscles of mine at a greater scale."

"How would you do that?"

"I may have to use multiple bodies to work out but as I mentioned before all of them get the same effects. Once I am done my larger body will be just as pumped as the smaller."

In response to this Albert proceeded to move away from Lucy's breasts and to the side of her hand. He didn't look over the side of her hand to confirm what she had said but only to see with his own eyes. Upon looking over he quickly noted that her legs did indeed appear to be as pumped as those of her smaller body. "So is that why your hand has been warming up?"

"That's right. Okay quiet time again."

Nodding his head Albert turned away from Lucy's leg and away from her smaller body to focus entirely on her arm. The site of the muscles in Lucy's smaller body was quite impressive. However, seeing the muscles of her larger body showing the same amount of exertion was truly astounding. As Albert watched those muscles expanding he couldn't help but wonder how much strength was truly behind them.

Thinking of Lucy's strength did nothing to help Albert with his erection except keep him from thinking about it. Lucy's strength had never been a turn off for him as it might have been some but instead made her all the more appealing. "You've come a long way since we were kids. I can still remember working on that bridge at least the little bit I got to work on. You finished it before I could do much. Did I tell you I thought it would be neat to see you working on a real bridge so easily?"

Lucy didn't answer right away but took her time to consider what Albert had told her and what she would say. As she finished her last repetition she didn't turn to face Albert. "You know at the time when I finished that bridge on my own I thought I was only helping you but that wasn't it. At least that wasn't the main reason. Albert, you know that I'm horribly selfish right?"

For a moment Albert was just quiet as he looked at Lucy. "Lucy, you're anything but selfish. You're generous with your money, knowledge and power. If you were to only focus on acquiring wealth and power and not worry about the well beings of others this world would be a much bleaker place."

"Money, knowledge and power are three things I have in abundance Albert. If you were to consider how little of each I truly share you would realize how little it truly is. No Albert I'm a horribly selfish person and I'm especially selfish when it comes to something I need. When I finished that bridge for you I did it because I wanted the attention you'd have put into it. It took me a few years to realize that."

No words came to Albert's mouth as he considered what Lucy had just told him. Instead of speaking or approaching her smaller body he leaned to his side and proceeded to place a kiss on her palm and rub the bit of it he could with his hand. "You know I just can't find a way not to be happy about that."

An amused giggle escaped Lucy as she glanced over her shoulder at Albert and looked down at him with her larger body. "You know I'm just going to get worse as time goes on. There may come a time when I can't stand to have you giving attention to anything but me. Do you believe you can handle that?"

"It would be easier to give up the entire world then it would be to give up you."

Turning around Lucy proceeded to take a step towards Albert. "Just remember that you said that. Now let's move onto the bench press."

"Sure." As he spoke Albert started to rise up only for Lucy to quickly push his arm out from under him with her foot causing him to fall flat on his back. Before he could say anything Lucy had placed a leg on either side of him and proceeded to lower herself to her knees. A sharp gasp escaped Albert and he involuntarily thrust his hips upward the moment he felt Lucy's crotch come to settle down upon his stomach.

"I believe that it would be more fun to do it this way." As she spoke Lucy took hold of Albert's hands and repositioned them to his sides as if he was holding a barbell aloft. She then proceeded to lower herself down forcing his hands into the ready position and pressing her breasts into his chest.

For a moment Albert forgot everything he was doing as he felt Lucy's crotch pressing against his stomach, her breasts engulfing a good part of his head and her face above his. Due to her position on his stomach her face was further up then his but he was too used to looking up at Lucy to notice.

"Well come on Albert. Let's get started."

An attempt to shake himself out of his daze only resulted in Albert rubbing his face against Lucy's breasts and making her giggle. The smile he felt on his face was so wide that it was almost painful. Her words did have the desired affect though and he began to push up with his arms so that she was lifted off him. As her upper body moved away from him he felt her crotch press more firmly into his stomach.

"That's good Albert. Keep it nice and steady just like that." Lucy didn't use her arms to exert any pressure on Albert's hand. Instead she only changed the position of her arms when she was lifted upward or lowered to keep the force in the same direction. The actual resistance that Albert felt came from her weight and the use of her stomach muscles to exert pressure.

Each time Albert pushed Lucy up he felt her crotch rub against his stomach. As he did he wasn't sure if the wetness he felt was from his sweat or if she was becoming excited. He did know that he was plenty stimulated and had been beforehand. Now he didn't know how he we keeping control of himself. Lucy had told him that she just wanted him to watch and had yet to give him permission to touch however she didn't seem to have any issue with touching him.

It was difficult for Albert yet if Lucy wanted to be the one to touch him while he could not touch her he would wait. He wasn't sure where the resolve to control his body came from but he knew that he would wait. Even if it was exceptionally difficult not to kiss those breasts as they once again engulfed the lower portion of his face.

As she found herself settling down so that her breasts pressed against Albert's face once again Lucy slightly shifted causing her warm flesh to rub against him even more. "I bet you don't even know how many repetitions you've done so far."

There was no arguing with that as Albert looked into Lucy's eyes. He knew that he had done two so far but he couldn't be sure of how many past that. His mind had been elsewhere for a while now. "Um, were you counting?"

An amused giggle escaped Lucy and she pressed her breasts more firmly into Albert's face so she could get close enough to leave a kiss on his forehead. "Yes I have been and you've done very well. It's amazing what a little company and motivation can do for one's performance isn't it?"

"Yeah, you just have to love motivation and extraordinarily wonderful company."

Slowly Lucy released her hold on Albert's hands by carefully removing one finger at a time. As she withdrew her arms though she didn't rise up but used her abdominal muscles to maintain her position as she looked into Albert's eyes. "You did very well for your first session Albert. Now you just relax while I do some bench presses of my own then we can go and get cleaned up."

Instead of speaking Albert just smiled as Lucy rolled off of him a sharp gasp escaping him as he felt her leg once again brush against his penis. A shadow came over both of them as Lucy moved her free hand above them and then extended two fingers. These fingers came to press down upon the hands of Lucy's smaller body. "So is this all the exercises you do?"

"Of course not, I typically swap out one or two exercises each session. Next time I may do butterfly curls instead of the normal type. I just thought this was a nice simple series of exercises to begin with. So don't get too comfortable doing a particular set."

"Ah I see. So am I going to be sore in a little while?"

"No, you're in good enough shape already so that shouldn't happen. Of course, if that were to happen I believe I could massage the soreness away. Mm yeah I think I know of a type of massage that would work wonders. At least it should loosen up most of the body."

************************************************************************

As Albert looked into the mirror he could hardly believe what he had forgotten and for how long. The session with Lucy the previous day had been a bit much for him and it had taken a cold shower and a few very vivid dreams for him to recall what he had forgotten. As they had exercised Lucy had become more and more predatory more direct. This wasn't as simple as someone loosening up as they become more comfortable but due to her awareness becoming more focused on her body.

It was something about her few knew about. As Lucy encouraged her body to become more powerful more of her mental abilities had to be devoted to its development. So that as Lucy had been exercising and encouraging her body to grow larger and stronger less of her awareness had been devoted to the world around her leaving her desires to take over.

She hadn't simply been behaving more predatory she had been more predatory then she normally was. In this state Lucy's concern for morality or the feelings of the world diminished considerably. So that when Lucy directed most of her awareness to her development Albert had come to term what was left as goddess Lucy. Goddess as she was a being unconcerned with the laws or desires of the world around her and entirely focused on what she desired and most assuredly what she needed.

To his knowledge Lucy had never gone all the way so that her awareness was entirely focused on her improvement but she did get close. Indeed for the most part Lucy kept most of her awareness focused on her improvement. A slight chuckle escaped Albert as he imagined what the general reaction would be if the fact that Lucy tended to only be operating at five percent of her true awareness with the rest focused on her body.

Given her behavior the other day though Albert knew she was operating at even less then that by the time they had finished. At best she was probably using one two hundredths of her actual awareness. This realization brought up two questions that Albert had yet to see answered and wasn't entirely certain he wanted answered. What happened whenever Lucy was entirely aware and what happened whenever her awareness was devoted entirely to her body?

"Albert, I know you won't be exercising today but would you mind joining me? I would like to have an audience again."

Even with the realization of the last few moments Albert's answer came naturally. "I'd love to. Just give me a moment to get something to drink." Even before he had taken a step towards the kitchen the phone ringing slowed Albert's progress. "And let me answer this."

An amused chuckle escaped Lucy. "Sure, it's from Phillips cell phone."

"So it's either Brad or Phillip. Okay." Making his way back into the bedroom Albert retrieved the cordless phone from besides the bed. "Hey man what is up?"

"Hey Albert, I'm surprised Lucy isn't answering the phone."

"Na, she gave me my own phone line whenever I moved in. She can monitor it but given what she can do that is a given. So what is up?"

"Well I was actually calling for Lucy I need to ask her to do me a favor. A rather big favor actually though this might work out better."

"Phillip, if this is going to be something that might piss her off you can forget me asking her. You know if I tried to act as a shield for anyone it would just make her more upset."

"OH hell no! Believe me Albert I know. I know. I don't believe this will piss her off it's just something that she might not be eager to do. You see I sort of fucked up. I promised I'd take Sandra to Crystal Lake and I meant to but I forgot to make the reservations. I really don't want to have to tell her I messed up so I was wondering if you and Lucy might come. I doubt anyone would turn her away."

"You weren't kidding when you said Lucy wouldn't like the idea. There is no way Lucy could go into that place at any of the scales she enjoys."

"I know. She would be less likely to turn you down especially if you indicated that you wanted to go."

"First of all I'm not going to fake something like that as honestly I'd rather go to the brink. Secondly Lucy would realize that I'm faking in an instant. She might even get upset that someone had tried to manipulate her. Phillip you should know better then to try to manipulate Lucy, you know how ill tempered she can be when someone insults something she takes pride in."

"You have a point. Fine, would you let me speak to Lucy and I'll ask her?"

"Yeah but it's a good thing you didn't wait any longer to call."

"Why do you say that?"

"Suffice to say that if you had waited any longer you would have been speaking to a very playful Lucy that is in no mental condition to do something she doesn't want to. Hold on a second." Letting out a slight sigh Albert made his way on into the kitchen and looked out the window. "It's for you Lucy."

Even though she knew everything that had been said Lucy chose not to speak up nor had she already made her decision. Instead she had resolved to let Phillip plead his case and see how she felt. Instead of going to retrieve a phone Lucy took over the signal "Okay I have it. How are you doing Phillip?"

It was one of those odd things about Lucy that she would pretend not to know something in order to let someone speak freely. As Phillips readied himself he resolved to take the direct path. "Lucy is there anyway that I could convince Albert and you to go to Crystal Lake with me and Sandra?

"I don't like the idea Phillip but I might be able to help out if you want to go. Perhaps I should call ahead."

"Come on Lucy. I know that you could get us in the door easily enough but do you really believe they'll be happy about me having you bully our way in? What kind of service do you think we'll get if you're not there?"

"Very good service if the owners know anything about me!"

A slight groan escaped Phillip. "Now I really wish I had made those reservations."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well if I had already made the reservations for four I would have more grounds to ask you to come."

"Meaning you want Albert and I to come. That's somewhat strange Phillip I would have believed you'd want to go with just you and Sandra."

"Actually, Sandra has wanted to talk to you again but I haven't been able to convince her to. You're still rather intimidating to her so I suggested that we could meet at place where you'd need to use one of your smaller bodies."

For a moment Lucy was quite as she considered what Phillip had just told her. "Okay Phillip. Why does Sandra want to speak to me again?"

"She thinks you're an interesting person Lucy just a little hard to talk to. So because we spend so much time hanging out together I thought it would be best if she came to know you well enough to be comfortable around you. Remember that I had to meet you first in the dining area to be really comfortable around you."

Refusal was the dominant thought on Lucy's mind but she kept her tongue still as she considered Phillip's request. As she considered the proposal she began to find some potential in it. "Phillip, this is going to cost you."

"So you'll do it then?"

"Yes, however don't believe for an instant that I enjoy it. I can however see at least one reason as to why I should. Just remember though this is going to end up costing you."

"You aren't going to do me like Brad, are you?"

An amused giggle escaped Lucy in response to the question. "No Brad I was upset with. You're going to owe me a favor for this one. Don't worry though I promise that I won't pick anything too difficult. Though what is owed will ultimately depend on the level of frustration I end up having to cope with. This still seems odd to me. I'm not sure why you'd want me to get to know Sandra."

"Honestly she wants to get to know you and well. She feels that it is important that we get to know one another's friends, which is kind of difficult. As honestly I'm not very fond of some of her friends. However, that means it's either hanging out with them or getting her comfortable with you."

"I'll call Crystal Lake and tell them that I'll be arriving with a small group of friends. They should have one of the more private seating areas available."

"That'd be great. I have to say it seems a little strange to me. You don't mind using your smaller bodies at work."

"That is because very few people are there to see me and I don't see many people there. It actually frustrates me whenever someone comes to view me at a scale smaller then my true scale."

"You don't seem to take issue to using one of your smaller bodies around Albert."

"Like I said I take issue with someone viewing me as smaller then my scale truly is. Albert sees me at my true scale regardless of what body I'm in. Okay Phillip, you can meet us at Crystal Lake at eight thirty tonight."

"Huh? You already made the phone call?"

"Yes I did."

"I'll be seeing you later on in the day then."

A sigh escaped Lucy as the signal shut down and she glanced down at Albert. "We're going to be meeting Phillip and Sandra at Crystal Lake at eight thirty."

"You mean he actually managed to convince you?" As he looked at Lucy Albert noticed her lips part to reveal her teeth in a wicked smile. "Oh! I see. So did Phillip just make a devil's deal?"

A delighted giggle escaped Lucy. "I don't know if I would call it a devil's deal. Suffice to say that he agreed he would owe me a favor."

"If you're going to go through with this that must mean you have something in mind already. Mind telling me what it is?"

"Yes I do. You're just going to have to show some patience and wait. Until then how about you get yourself a cup of water and let me entertain you for a little while?" As she spoke Lucy opened the window to the kitchen and held her hand palm up just below it.

For a moment Albert was made to chuckle as while he retrieved a glass and field it with water he glanced down at his shorts. He remembered the lesson from the previous day and was staying away from the baggy clothing. "That sounds great. I hope Phillip really though this through before agreeing to owe you a favor. As the more I think about it the more I wonder what you could possibly have in mind. At the moment I'm drawing a blank on what he could actually do to repay you."

************************************************************************

Even if she preferred to use her smaller bodies Lucy had clearly designed the car with her comfort as well as others in mind. Currently she set in the passenger seat which had been lowered down to nearly floor level. The back seats had been folded upward allowing her to scoot back even further to accommodate as much of her as she could comfortably fit into the vehicle.

Albert for his part was driving though under protest at first. He had wanted Lucy to drive but had relented when he saw how the passenger seat was designed. The design feature had allowed Lucy to maintain a scale of three meters and while it was far from her favorite scale it seemed to content her to an extent. At least most people throughout history would have had to look up at her.

"You know Lucy we don't have to stay very long if you don't want to. You told Phillip that you would come not that you would stay around for very long."

"I know and believe me I've been thinking about just going inside saying hi and leaving. The thing is he's actually doing this in part for Sandra. Apparently she's wants to talk to me at a less imposing scale then the one I normally hold."

It was impossible for Albert not to laugh as he shook his head. "I don't mean to offend but honestly. I think you'd be less scary at three miles if you were happy then when you're grumpy even if you're only three meters tall."

A slight sigh escaped Lucy as she nodded her head. "Now if only the rest of the world would see it that way."

"Well maybe they would if you were to give a good demonstration of what you can do even when you restrict your size. I believe that throwing a tank through a building would get the point across."

At last Lucy was made to smile as she turned away from the window and looked at Albert. "Perhaps, that or find a way that I could lift an aircraft carrier without the metal simply deforming around me. Maybe I should focus on developing an alloy strong enough to withstand such strain in a focused area."

For a moment Albert turned to look at Lucy and try to guess if she was serious. He knew that she was strong and that to survive at the scale she normally held she had to be far stronger then even her scale revealed. However, he still had to ask. "Lucy, are you serious?"

"You're going to miss your turn."

Turning his attention back to the road Albert saw how right Lucy was and had to both break and turn hard to make the turn off. Once the vehicle steadied and they drove a little further Crystal Lake finally came into view. The establishment had received its name not due to any proximity to any bodies of water. Rather it was due to the fact that the majority of the building seemed to be made of crystalline structures so that it was said to be a lake of crystal itself.

As Albert pulled into the parking lot he glanced around for Phillip's car. It only took him a moment of searching to notice the vehicle. "It looks like they beat us here ahead of schedule. I wonder what the valet thought."

"I have a pretty good guess." A slight growl escaped Lucy as she tapped the door handle for a moment. "Hopefully whenever I step out of here he'll be surprised enough to forget about that."

"In that dress I'm sure he would be even if you weren't over three meters tall. I for one hope he doesn't push too hard on the accelerator or there is going to be quite a mess in a few moments." Even as he spoke Albert pulled the vehicle up to the entrance where a man in a red vest with a white shirt proceeded to open the door.

Well before he could reach in to help her out Lucy had already began the process of climbing out of the vehicle. First extending one leg out the door followed by the other, she then shifted her position to the side and slowly began to slide the seat forward the whole time slipping more of her out. The valet for his part had only stood near the doorway when Lucy's leg first reached out. As soon as he realized how much female was exiting that vehicle though he quickly retreated to a safer distance.

It was clear to Albert that the valet's reaction had helped Lucy to an extent. She seemed to perk up a bit the moment he backed away and she drew herself to her full height. The fact that he continued to keep a good deal of space between himself and Lucy as he made his way over to Albert only helped. "Good evening Sir and Madam. I will. May I see to your vehicle?"

Giving a slight nod Albert didn't wait for the valet to make his way around the car over to him but he quickly made his way around the front of the car and next to Lucy. "Sure thing" as he stood next to Lucy Albert held out the keys but extended his arm halfway. He knew that the valet wanted to keep his distance from Lucy and while Albert thought it was a little mean of him to make him approach her. The valet's reaction was also clearly good for Lucy's mood and if helping Lucy's mood meant he had to be a little mean Albert could live with it.

Albert's arm was only half extended but the valet's was fully extended as he took the keys from him. He then more ran then walked around the front of the vehicle causing Lucy to give a slight giggle. Reaching down she took hold of Albert's wrist and moved his arm so that it was as far around her waste as it could go and just above her rear.

Realizing what Lucy wanted Albert took hold of her waste the moment she released his arm and proceeded to lead them away for the car. As he did so he couldn't help but notice due to Lucy's height and their proximity to one another he really couldn't look up at her face without looking at the underside of her breasts. "Do you feel better now?"

"Yeah, I feel a bit better. Thanks for cheering me up."

"Always glad to amuse you at the expense of someone else." As Albert lead Lucy inside he wasn't surprised to find a waiter already standing in the doorway ready to receive them. He was rather certain the quick reception was for two reasons. Lucy had wealth and the sooner they got her seated the less she would unnerve their patrons.

"Good evening. I hope you don't mind but we prepared you a table away from the main dining areas. Your dining companions arrived just a short while ago and are already waiting for you."

"That is fine. Please lead on."

While Albert walked along side Lucy and took a moment to look around he couldn't help but let out a slight sigh. He hadn't told Lucy but such an establishment really wasn't suited to his taste. He had been honest when he told Phillip that he preferred the Brink. However, he didn't realize that he had sighed until Lucy spoke up.

"Is something wrong Albert?"

Glancing up at Lucy Albert's first thoughts was to say no but realized that it wouldn't due to lie about the situation. "I'm just thinking of what I'm going to order."

"Huh, that didn't sound like the type of sigh one gives when they're thinking of eating. Unless they don't believe they'll be able to find anything to their liking."

"Lucy, this place serves raw fish eggs. I'm hardly the type that regularly eats that stuff."

"Have you ever tried them before?"

For a moment Albert shook his head. "No. I can't say I have but I still don't like the concept. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to find anything to my liking."

"Well if you don't like your first order just tell me and we'll get you something else. Even if I have to go through the whole menu we'll find something you like. Mm actually perhaps that is what we should do. How about I just order everything on the menu and you can try a bit of everything until you find something you like? Then I'll just take care of the rest."

"Huh, well I'm sure the owners wouldn't mind that plan but it seems a bit extravagant."

"So? It isn't like I can't afford it."

"Mm I'd still feel like I was wasting."

"What giving me an excuse to eat a lot is a waste?" As she spoke Lucy turned so that Albert's arm came undone and proceeded to glance down at him. This meant that he was more looking at her chest and couldn't actually look at her face without stepping back due to their proximity and her breasts.

At least this time Albert knew Lucy wasn't actually angry, still he backed away so that he could see her face. "No. Alright then, order one of everything and I'll just keep trying stuff until I find something that I like. Then you can take care of the rest. I hope you don't end up getting something you hate though."

"The odds of that happening are pretty slim. You know I tend to like most foods even a few things that you wouldn't even consider food at least not under most circumstances."

"Okay, but if you don't like it you could make Phillip eat it."

To this Lucy gave a quick nod and turned to the side. Reaching down she once again placed Albert's arm on her waste. "You know I could! Fatten him up a little bit."

He didn't need to look around to know that Lucy's comment had just gotten the attention of everyone within ear shot. Instead of making him look away though it made him smile and look up at Lucy. Before he could comment the waiter finally spoke up. "Um Madam, Sir please follow me this way."

Phillip smiled as he looked at the vast dining area. The large room was normally reserved for large corporate gatherings but tonight it would only have four occupants. That left plenty of room to move around and lots of elbow room on the table. "Wow, I figured they'd set us somewhere private but this is a bit more then I expected." Even as he spoke Phillip couldn't help but recall his conversation with Lucy that morning. She had told him she didn't like people seeing her as smaller then she truly was. It was enough to make him wonder if she had obtained that room intentionally.

As Phillip was looking around Sandra reached a hand under the table and ran her fingernails lightly over his pants legs to get his attention. "Thanks for taking me out this evening and for inviting Lucy and Albert."

"No problem. It would be nice if we could all hang out together."

"Yeah, I hope you don't mind having to go through all of this for me. It's just she is kind of imposing to talk to whenever her thumb is taller then you are."

"Don't worry I know the feeling. Just well, I don't believe she'll be willing to do this again for a while."

The sound of a door opening stopped Sandra from responding and both she and Phillip turned to see Albert and Lucy led into the room. "Hey Albert, Lucy I'm glad the two of you could make it." Words didn't need to be spoken for Phillip to read the smile on Lucy's face. He suddenly felt certain that his statement should have been withheld until he found out the favor Lucy was going to ask.

Once Lucy and Albert had been seated the waiter finally spoke up. "So, here are your menus and I'll be back in a little bit to take your orders."

"That won't be necessary." As she spoke Lucy glanced over at the waiter noting that she was still somewhat taller then him even while seated. Fortunately for the chair it was oversized to accommodate nearly anyone so Lucy didn't break it when she set down. "I want one of everything on the menu."

For a moment the waiter just looked at Lucy. She was truly massive but the idea of someone of her scale being able to eat everything on the menu still seemed outside the realm of reason. "Um are you sure madam?"

"Quite sure, I'm in an experimental mood today." Even as she finished speaking Lucy gave a slight sigh. She didn't bother mentioning that she also wanted something to do while she was forced to interact at such a small scale.

"Very well, then has everyone else decided what they want?"

Once again Lucy spoke before anyone else could. "Not unless two of them want the same thing as the other."

After a minute of silence in which no one spoke up the waiter gave a slight nod. "I see then. I will inform the chef."

In response to the waiter's stunned expression a sight chuckle escaped Phillip. "He wouldn't be surprised in the least if all of you were here." Nearly the moment the words left his mouth Phillip knew that he had made a mistake as he noticed Lucy looking at him. Clearly this wasn't the time to be talking about where the rest of her was.

In his mental state the waiter hadn't thought to take up the menu which was just as well as Albert took his time to browse. After a short silence he spoke up. "Lucy, I hope you don't mind but I'm afraid I'm going to have to take your stake."

"Which one do you have in mind?" As she spoke Lucy leaned over to see the menu even though she had one in front of her. This placed her head just above Albert's and caused her breasts to brush against him ever so slightly.

Instead of trying to pronounce the name Albert proceeded to place a finger next to the image. "That one looks pretty good and if the picture is right I don't see any ingredients I don't recognize."

"Ah, I see. You're welcome to try it but I don't know if you're going to want that one. You may think you recognize those peppers but I don't remember you having ever tried them."

"Aren't they regular red peppers?"

"I believe that I might have said too much already. So Phillip, Sandra did we keep you waiting long?"

To this question Sandra spoke up. "Oh no, we just arrived a short while ago ourselves."

"I see. So Phillip here tells me that you're having trouble talking to me when more then a small amount of me is here. I know this might be hard to believe but for the vast majority it's actually safer to be around most of me then a little bit."

For a moment Sandra said nothing as she took in what Lucy had said. Phillip had informed her that having Lucy limit her scale might make her irritable and it seemed he was right. "Yeah, Phillip told me as much. It's just that I thought it might be easier to get to know you as a person when I didn't have to look so far up at you."

There was no need for Albert to look up at Lucy to know that Sandra had just made a mistake. Realizing that if he didn't speak up soon Lucy was going to really put Sandra on edge he chose to voice his thoughts. "Sandra, there is no getting to know Lucy as a person if the only way you can interact with her is when she's only partly there. After all to know someone as a person don't they all have to be present?"

"Well. You do have a point. Yeah I can see that."

No one spoke for five minutes though Sandra and Phillip did exchange several glances. As the silence extended past the five minute mark though Lucy spoke up. "All well. I'm here like this now so we might as well make the most of it. So Sandra what is your major?"

To this Sandra gave a slight start. "Oh. I'm studying the communication and joining of nervous systems such as those found in the symbiotic life forms developed by InCon."

"Or like the most advanced one in the world. Mine." As she finished speaking Lucy gave a toothy smile and proceeded to lean forward on the table. "So is there anything you want to ask me about that?"

At first Sandra said nothing but proceeded to take in a deep breath of air and sip some of the water before her. "Well. Actually, yes I would."

"Go right ahead then."

Ever since she had met Lucy Sandra had wanted to question her. However, she had envisioned a far more casual, safe and comfortable situation. She had hoped it would be a situation that didn't leave her feeling as if she were only a few words away from death. "Well I'm sure that you know about the threshold of awareness."

Before Sandra could continue Lucy spoke up. "Yeah, the human awareness is like water and the body serves as the cup. If you suddenly expands the cup by enhancing the body either physically or improving sensory reception the cup expands. The water must then expand to fill the new space. For small enhancements this isn't a problem but as the cup grows larger eventually the water can no longer fill it. At this point the awareness is in danger or fading away leaving a vegetable. Even before that threshold they are dangers such as the awareness not being able to control the body's biological functions such as heart beat."

"Yeah, the thing is most people can only handle being enhanced thirty five to forty six times their natural level. But you, you're so far beyond that. Does having the awareness of the symbiot inside of you let you get around this limitation?"

"No. There is no way around the threshold of awareness."

Once again Sandra grew silent as she looked at Lucy. For a moment she just bit down on her lower lip but then willed herself to speak. "Then how did you? I mean you're so far beyond what anyone has managed to reach."

"It's simple really. My awareness is strong enough to handle this body. That's all there is to it."

"How is that possible though? You're so far beyond anything that has been seen!"

Before she spoke Lucy reached out with her hand and placed it on Albert's shoulder. "I'm strong and becoming stronger everyday both through my own efforts and through those that nurture me. Sandra the general concept is that someone's awareness is finite and they can do nothing to change it. That isn't true though. Your awareness is just like your body in that it can become stronger. You just have to learn how to nurture it and have the right tools and food at your disposal."

"Food? You mean like drive?"

"No! Drive is an abomination that should have never been produced."

"Then how do you develop and feed your awareness?"

An amused giggle escaped Lucy as she shook her head. "There isn't a simple answer to that Sandra. I can however tell you how I do it. Do you want to here?"

"Yes! Pleas!"

Lucy's response wasn't immediate but instead she proceeded to take a moment to glance over at Albert. As she turned back towards Sandra a slight chuckle escaped her. "They are different ways to strengthen one's resolve however I find desire to be the most effective method. I desire power and the more power I have the more I desire. I desire this power just to have it yet I desire it for other reasons as well. I desire power to protect those I care for, I desire power so that I may enrich their lives and I desire power because they wish me to become as much as I can be."

At first Sandra said nothing but seemed to try to judge if Lucy was being honest or not. When she did speak it seemed reluctant. "But don't you have enough power for that already?"

"Some may think that but they would never get me to agree. When you care about something you want to protect that something don't you?"

"Well yes."

"The more you care about that something or someone the more you want to protect them and the more you want to bless them. So that the more I care the more I desire. By taking this desire and turning it into resolve it is possible to strengthen ones awareness. It is this nurturing of my awareness that allows me to continue to exist even within this body." A delighted giggle escaped Lucy as she leaned back in her seat slightly. "Of course, this requires a certain mind set."

Sandra had perked up whenever Lucy had offered to explain the method she used to her. As she had listened though she'd begun to slump in her seat so that when Lucy had finished she seemed drained as if a great hope had just been dashed. After some time had passed though she took in a deep breath and set up in her seat and turned to Phillip. "So do you think you ever contribute to this desire?"

"Mm you know I don't know. Hey Lucy do I?"

"Well maybe in the same way that a thimble of water contributes to the ocean."

"Hey! Didn't you say those that you cared for helped to strengthen your resolve?"

It was impossible for Lucy to keep herself from giggling as she noted the expression on Phillip's face. "Now there is no need to feel insulted. That doesn't mean I don't care a great deal for you. It just means there is someone that I care about a great deal more then you."

"Yeah that is true."

Before she spoke Sandra once again placed her hand on Phillip's leg. "Besides, I believe that whomever you're seeing would prefer if she got that encouragement instead."

Before she spoke Lucy removed her hand from Albert's shoulder and glanced behind herself. "The salads are here. It looks like you all have quite a variety to choose from. Which one do you want Albert?"

"Is there a chef's salad?"

"Yes."

"I'll just take that."

Even before the waiters had began to unload the treys Lucy reached out and quickly retrieved Albert's plate and set it down before him. Upon setting Albert's plate down she quickly retrieved one that came in a large bread bowl. "I just love these things."

"Oh, what do you like most about them?"

Well before Lucy could respond to Sandra Albert spoke up. "It's the edible bowl. That's all there is too it."

"Hey I happen to think that it's cute!" An amused giggle escaped Lucy as she tore away part of the side bowl and tossed it into her mouth.

"If no one minds may I have the shrimp?"

"Sure go ahead Sandra and which one do you want Phillip?"

"I'm not really into salads myself. I believe I'll just wait for some of the main courses to arrive."

In response to Phillips comment Sandra retrieved a second as well as her own and set it down before him. "You need your vegetables as well so eat up and no complaining. That has some diced up steak in it. So Lucy, Phillip has told me a good deal about you and Albert is there anything you want to tell me about him?"

"Mm I believe that he has some hidden masochist tendencies."

In response to Lucy's comment Phillip quickly looked up from his salad. "Huh? How the hell do you get that?"

"Well our conversation on the phone is the most recent event that helped strengthen my suspicions."

A low groan escaped Phillip as he shook his head. "That wasn't me being a masochist. It was the only way I could think of to convince you to agree."

"Initially I was going to tell you no but then I realized there is one thing you can help me with."

"I have a feeling that I'm not going to like it but what is it?"

"You will have to wait to find out. Phillip, here is a nice guy even though he has been known to conform his behavior for a limited time just to get a woman into bed. I don't believe you're one of these cases though."

"Oh and what makes you believe that?"

"The very same thing that I used as proof that he is a masochist."

"Well I'll have you know that we've already slept together."

"I see. Then were you either exceptionally good in bed or he's truly quite fond of you. So Phillip what makes you so interested in Sandra?"

"Well she is quite a terrific person and she is indeed very good in bed." A wide grin formed on Phillip's face as he glanced over at Sandra. "She's also got me to rethinking my major though I don't believe that is intentional. Lately she's been telling me a lot about the bonds between neurological systems."

In response to this Lucy looked away from her salad and focused on Phillip. "Hey I've told you plenty about that and you never seemed to be considering changing your major."

"I know it's just well."

"It's just that I'm not Sandra." An amused giggle escaped Lucy as she noted the look on Phillip's face. "Okay what have the two of you been talking about lately?"

"Mostly we've been talking about the threshold of awareness, what could be done if you could get around it and the different theories of how people may be able to get around it."

"I very rarely say that something can't be done but well. I wouldn't put any confidence in those theories and I'm very certain that there is no way around the threshold of awareness."

"I know I was listening. What about two separate nervous systems to control one body though? I know that most people can only stand being enhanced from thirty five to forty six times but what about linking the awareness's of two separate people while only fully enhancing one of their bodies?"

At first Lucy just looked at Phillip. Given that this was the first time he had expressed such an interest even she was a little stunned. After a moment of silence she spoke up. "That has the potential to allow one of the person's to wield far greater power then what is normal though it wouldn't be strait forward. Both would have to have their bodies modified to allow such a link.

This would serve to exhaust some of each person's awareness right from the start so the enhanced would maybe have eighty percent of both of their potentials. That isn't certain though as it would depend on how well the awareness of each person worked together. They are also several risks to be considered."

"Would they be similar to the risk of the eighth step symbiot?"

"Yes and a whole host of new ones. One situation I should point out right away is if one of the person's awareness happens to consider the other as nothing more then food to be consumed. Had I been that way with symbi she would have responded by trying to consume me in turn resulting in both of our deaths. This could similarly happy with two humans that were linked and well the results wouldn't be pretty for either of them."

"Are they any other concerns?"

"Phillip, if I went into all the concerns it would take me all day. I guess the second dominant one is if the awareness of either person grows tired of the other. They would end up trying to reject one another and eventually end up destroying the link. This would mean one awareness is in a body that it can't handle in the least and it would either kill the body or the awareness would evaporate leaving a husk. The over person wouldn't be safe either as the immediate back lash from their extended awareness suddenly being cut off could kill them. Even if they lived there would be a large amount of damage."

Now Sandra spoke up. "So you're saying it can't be done?"

"No. I'm saying that it's dangerous for both people involved and should be carefully considered. It is however impractical for commercial or even military use. As while the person would be greatly augmented they still could only handle four to eight strongly augmented tops. Given the difficulty of finding people that could form such a bond, the cost of production and the inevitable loss of live it's just not worth the price."

"At least it isn't worth the price on a large scale but on an individual level it may be."

To this Lucy gave a quick nod. "Yes it may. However, it still isn't a strengthened awareness or a strengthening one. Such a process is going to have limits and they're going to be reached very quickly."

"That would still make the person second only to you though even if that is a large gap."

For a moment Lucy was made to giggle. "While I appreciate the complement that isn't certain they are some people whose awareness is very strong. To cases I can think of right away are Meredith and Alex."

"Huh? Who are they?"

"They're two of InCon's employees and that just drive me up the wall. I've been waiting for them to leave the company so I could hire them but they seem fairly content in their testing position."

"Oh yeah, that is the two women that my dad had over for Christmas last year. Why don't you just tell them you want them to come and work for you? I'm sure you could convince them to leave InCon."

A sigh escaped Lucy as she turned to Albert. "I know but I would feel a little guilty about doing that. InCon was always strait forward with me."

"That is true." Giving a slight shrug Albert took a moment to glance down at Lucy's salad. "Hey when did you start on that one?"

For a moment Lucy was made to giggle. "I've been through four of them already and you're just noticing I finished my starting salad now?"

"How did you do that? You've been talking most the time."

"I'm very good at controlling my tongue and I have a big mouth. Plus I don't have to really chew my food if I don't want to. My stomach can process concrete easily."

Realizing that the conversation was getting off subject Phillip spoke up. "Who are Meredith and Alex and what about them?"

Turning back to Phillip Lucy gave a shrug. "They are just what I said. They are two employees of InCon who both work on the development of new symbiotic life forms. The awareness of either woman is quite exceptional though. They actually help develop the symbiot life forms InCon produces but I've also seen them test new ones for which the strain on one's awareness was unknown."

"Do you really believe their awareness may surpass a unified awareness?"

"I honestly wouldn't be surprised. I've seen them control systems that would leave most people in comas if not dead."

For a moment everyone's attention turned to Albert as he gave a slight chuckle. Upon realizing that everyone was looking at him he saw fit to speak up. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something my father told me."

To this Lucy seemed truly curious as she turned to face Albert entirely. "Which is?"

"It isn't anything much. He just said that if he didn't have my mom he'd be pursuing them like a starved wolf."

"Oh come on Albert. That can't be his exact wording what did he say?"

"Okay. Okay. The actual wording was. Son I swear if I didn't fear your mother's anger so very much I wouldn't be able to keep away from those two."

Once again Lucy was made to giggle as she turned back to her food. "Your mother can be quite frightening. I imagine especially to your father."

"Yeah you're right about that one. I didn't know you were keeping your eye on the two of them though."

Before Lucy could respond Sandra spoke up. "So do you have any idea of how they got to that point?"

"Resolve in both of their cases really. That and a confidence in their abilities and who they are that I very rarely see of course resolve and confidence often walk hand in hand."

After a moment of munching on his by now half eaten salad Phillip spoke up. "You know it seems kind of silly how we've been talking about this like it's impossible to strengthen ones awareness. You said it yourself that the notion that it can't be done is mistaken."

To this Lucy gave a quick nod. "That is correct and it doesn't have to be a painful process either though it sure can be. Actually, on many levels it can be quite pleasurable if one feeds on the right nourishment."

***********************************************************************

"I swear I thought my tongue would never stop tingling." A sigh escaped Albert as he climbed into the driver's seat and buckled himself up.

Lucy wore a large grin on her face as she carefully climbed into the passenger's seat and glanced over at Albert. "It's a good thing that they also included one of every type of drink."

To this Albert gave a quick nod. "The roasted duck was good though I still wish you had warned me about those peppers. I have to say though I would have preferred a roasted chicken or turkey."

In response Lucy gave a slight shrug. "We are most comfortable eating what we've grown up with really so that will always be your preference most likely. No matter how tasty an expensive item maybe it will never have that level of familiarity that something your mom or dad might have made for you does."

As Albert drove out of the parking lot he gave a slight shrug. "I think that waiter was still trying to figure out where you were putting all that food."

"Yeah he wouldn't have bothered with that at if all of me had been present. Then again he probably wouldn't have wondered if he knew how quickly I could digest whatever I've ate or how much these muscles of mine can compact materials."

Before he responded verbally Albert gave a quick nod in agreement. There wasn't time for him to speak his mind though as they made their way through an intersection. He simply wasn't able to speak quickly enough or see the expression on Lucy's face as she looked out the passenger side window.

Relative to her scale Lucy tended to move as quickly as a human. So that in the same time a human could fully extend her arm so could she. This meant she was moving much faster then human though and had developed a reaction time to keep up with that. Her rate of thought was even faster so she had plenty of time to notice the massive semi heading strait towards them and feel her heart rate speed up.

When she had built Albert's car she had made it with safety in mind but as she looked at the massive truck she knew it would be testing those limits. Given its speed she felt certain it was traveling at least one hundred and sixty five kilometers an hour. Instantly Lucy was made to be grateful that she was on the passenger side however that was still a lot of energy.

First instincts were to ram her feet through the floor bored and through the concrete below so that the massive truck would have to go through her first to get to Albert. This was a bad idea though as she knew Albert would still be forced to a sudden stop when she stopped both vehicles which could be just as damaging. She was fast enough and strong enough to get Albert out but once again the speeds would have been damaging to him.

As Lucy settled on a plan of action she moved towards Albert her massive form easily snapping the seat belt that would have held her in place. Her arms went around Albert though she was careful not to touch him and her foot slammed through the floor bored of the car though she didn't press it into the pavement. As her arms began to close around Albert she slowed their speed so not to injure him as she worked to shield him as best she could with such a small body.

Everything happened too fast for Albert to really realize what was going on. He more felt Lucy's arms coming around him then saw and there was time enough for him to hear her seat belt snap but not think about it. A massive roar took over everything and a sudden sharp impact as the massive vehicle slammed into the car forcing them to accelerate to the side.

Lucy felt the semi slam into them she instantly pressed her feet into the ground destroying her shoes in a moment. She would have preferred to negate the impact entirely by stopping the semi but that would have meant stopping Albert's forward velocity cold. So that instead she worked to reduce the force from the side impact and slowly release the energy from their forward momentum.

Even before Lucy's smaller body had taken hold of Albert Lucy's larger had quickly rose to her feet. By the time the impact had occurred she'd already dashed out the main door of her home not carrying that in her haste she had destroyed the lock. The ground was not spared either as Lucy didn't bother slowing her foot steps before placing them on the ground. The shockwaves generated by her massive foot steps would destroy far more then what her feet touched but she didn't care at the time.

When she had built the vehicle Lucy had made it very sturdy. The doors and windows could have easily halted most bullets. However, it wasn't truly meant to endure such a large vehicle slamming into the side at such high speeds. So Lucy wasn't truly surprised whenever she felt her side of the vehicle caving in towards her. This had been the primary reason she had wrapped around Albert. She would have wanted the vehicle to be wrapped around her while she was wrapped around him.

As they were forced further along Lucy wasn't certain of what condition the driver of the semi was in and she really didn't care. What she cared a great deal about was that whoever was driving didn't seem to have pressed the breaks yet.

While he had been shaken up a bit too much to think clearly Albert was very certain something bad was happening. So as the sound of bending metal died down and the two vehicles lost energy he became more aware of his surroundings. By the time Lucy drove her feet into the concrete he was aware enough to notice the loud crack.

With their forward momentum essentially lost at least to the point that Lucy believed it was tolerable she wasted no time driving her feet into the ground. This turned her from movable object to as solid as a concrete wall and brought both vehicles to a sudden stop.

It was only when Albert felt Lucy's arms moving away from him and the sound of bending metal that he spoke. "Ouch." Without Lucy wrapped around him any longer Albert went to rub the parts of his body that were in the most pain.

"Don't move Albert! I haven't gotten to check you out yet!"

There was no sudden motion on Albert's part despite his surprise at Lucy's tone. His body was simply too sore for him to move very much. He did however turn his head to see what Lucy was doing as he heard the sound of metal bending. What he found was that Lucy had to push back a massive sheet of crushed alloy just to stand up.

Far more then just foot prints was left behind as Lucy's feet slammed into the ground. Due to her mass and the speed with which her feet met the earth the energy behind the impacts left a crater instead of a foot print each one having a radius of at least fourteen meters depending on the strength of the ground they impacted with. This city felt the affects like a bombing run moving right up the main street. The impacts forced cars parked on the side of the road into the side walks and smaller cars impacted with the sides of buildings.

All the windows were broken along the street except for the strange anomaly that managed to hold itself together and telephone wires were shown no concern. The only thing that received any consideration from Lucy at the moment was people and that was only because part of her was already tending to Albert. So that as she would dash by a person who fell within the danger zone she would slow her motion just enough to avoid seriously maiming them as she ran by.

She did not care however that a few of them ended up tossed into the air and most likely badly bruised. For the moment she had other concerns and if they were so curious about what was coming up the road they could pay for it. Fortunately the majority of people knew to get off the road. They were all aware of Lucy's presence and most had sense enough to realize what the sound that seemed to be explosions and the shuddering earth meant.

As Lucy pilled the metal away from herself and Albert she carefully examined him. While externally all he had was some bruises internally was another matter. "Albert, I'm going to need you to stay very still. You have well you've been injured quite badly and I need to get you home quickly. "

"How bad is it?"

"If your injuries go untreated they will most likely kill you though not within the immediate hour. I'm going to have to give you something to help you recover."

In response Albert started to nod his head only to end up gritting his teeth as a javelin of pain shot through him. "Ouch."

A sigh escaped Lucy as she noted Albert gritting his teeth and his rate of breathing going up even as ouch left his lips. She knew it was more then an ouch he had just felt. "I said don't move! I wasn't joking." As she spoke Lucy reached down and took hold of his seat belt. She chose to use both hands to snap the material to avoid hurting Albert anymore then he was.

After tossing the broken straps to the side she carefully lifted Albert from the vehicle. Loud cracks could be heard as she pulled her legs free from the ground and stepped out of the crushed metal that was once a car.

At her current scale Lucy could cradle Albert fairly affectively though not as if he was a baby. Fortunately this level of difference wasn't needed for her to keep from aggravating his injuries more. With his head resting against her breasts he couldn't help but notice a slight breeze though he couldn't see anything as his eyes focused on Lucy's chest and face. "Are we moving?"

"Yes. I'm going to meet up with my larger body and then I'll get you home and taken care of." Albert hadn't notice Lucy beginning to move as she had been careful to keep the acceleration constant and slow. She was also forced to limit the velocity with which she moved due to the method in which she had to carry Albert. Fortunately the majority of her was already near by.

One thing Lucy was grateful for about making such an entrance was she felt certain the roads would be nice and clear when she met up with her main body. There might be some people examining the craters but she hoped they would notice her returning and realize they needed to get back. It was fortunate for several buildings and a good deal of the road that Lucy chose to use her smaller body to carry Albert to the rest of her. If she hadn't a good deal more would have been damaged.

************************************************************************

"Are you going to give me a medical symbiot?" A sigh escaped Albert as he noted the change in the sky above due to them entering Lucy's home.

"No. I have something else in mind to strengthen you and besides. Albert I really don't want a standard medical symbiot put inside of you even for a little while." As she spoke Lucy drew some flesh from her main body and began to use it to make the smaller larger.

Even as she had carried him back Lucy had used one of her smaller bodies to help hold Albert steady and keep him company. He was still surprised though when he noted Lucy adding more of herself into her smaller body so that it grew larger instead of absorbing it back into the main body. "What are you doing?"

"I'm just adjusting my scale some so that this will be easier."

"Huh, if you're going to give me something wouldn't it be easier with a smaller body."

Despite Albert's injuries Lucy couldn't help but giggle. "No. Not this time." As her body grew, Lucy quickly worked to remove her dress though she didn't bother removing her bra or knickers. The material had been designed to stretch enough so that she didn't need to and the bra wouldn't be on for very long anyway. "I have something very special for you that will help you recover."

As Albert lie there he wasn't certain what to say and he couldn't think too clearly. It had been manageable at first but as time had gone by he had found the pain increasing. Despite that he wasn't in so much pain that he couldn't appreciate the site before him as Lucy came to stand what he imagined to be four and a half meters tall. He was surprised though when she reached behind herself and removed her bra.

It would have been nice to put on more of a show for Albert but at the moment Lucy had other concerns. Upon removing her bra she gave it a quick toss to the side and once again picked him up. With her height nearly doubled he was now the size of a small baby to her. "Okay Albert this might seem a little strange but I'm going to need you to let me breast feed you."

Nearly the moment the words reached his ears a look of surprise appeared on Albert's face. "Huh?"

Even if he was injured Lucy couldn't help but chuckle as she noted the look Albert gave her. "Albert, trust me. This will help you recover a whole lot quicker and you won't be in the danger zone anymore. Now open up." As she spoke Lucy lifted Albert to her chest and began to position him so that his mouth was next to her right nipple.

Despite the proximity to Lucy's chest Albert couldn't help but ask. "Lucy, are you serious?"

"Yes Albert. I'm very serious and no you won't just be sucking on my nipple or drinking milk. Well no you will be drinking my milk but trust me when I say that it isn't like anything you'll find anywhere else. You know how advanced my body is. Now if you stop and think that breast milk is meant to nurture then apply that level of advancement to it what do you really think my milk is like?"

At first Albert moved to do as he was told but stopped short as he glanced up at Lucy. "Are you certain?"

"Albert, either you start suckling or pretty soon you're going to be in a lot worse pain." Even before Albert could respond Lucy tightened her grip on him ever so slightly forcing his face against her breasts.

While his injuries were starting to hurt more Albert doubted that was what Lucy was talking about when she said he'd be hurting more. Even if he wasn't certain of exactly what was going on he was certain that he didn't want to push Lucy any further on this matter. So with no other comments he locked his lips around Lucy's nipple and began to suck. Her body responded almost immediately as he felt a warm liquid entering his mouth.

"That's good Albert. I know we just ate so you have a full belly but drink as much as you can." As she spoke Lucy used her larger body to pick up the smaller and set the smaller in the lap of the larger.

Even while he was suckling Albert wasn't certain what was going on. One thing he did notice though was that after a few minutes his pain began to die down yet at the same time he started feeling very tired. It didn't seem like a good idea to stop suckingto question Lucy but it turned out he didn't need to. His questioning gaze seemed to be all that Lucy required.

"I said that it would help you recover didn't I? You haven't drunk enough for my milk to heal you entirely but your body has already begun the repairs at an accelerated rate. Don't worry, you're not in any danger but you will start feeling very sleepy. If you want to close your eyes go ahead. You don't need to fight your sleep."

For a moment Lucy lifted Albert slightly higher and brought her head forward to give him a quick kiss on his forehead. This was the first time she had ever tried to breast feed him but it wasn't the first time that she had wanted to. She had actually been considering different methods to approach him about the concept but hadn't settled on a method. This event had given her the perfect chance but now she found that she had a problem.

Once the pain had died down enough and he started feeling more tired then sore Albert also began to note the taste of Lucy's breast milk. It wasn't like any milk he had tasted before though there were similarities. Hers was far sweeter though and indeed much more to his liking. He might have drunk with less vigor though if he had noticed how Lucy was looking at him and how much she was enjoying herself.

Had Albert not been injured Lucy knew that more would be happening that night but even with her milk he would need time to heal. Fortunately her concern for his safety could easily override pleasure though at the moment it was one of the few things that could. As she noted Albert's eyes closing she began opening links to various services including a few constructions and insurance companies. It would be best if she began repairing the damage she had caused before anyone showed up to ask her about it.

There was another concern on Lucy's mind as well. She had left long before the police could arrive though it probably had taken them longer to arrive due to her run through the city. Still, they would make their way to the accident soon enough and she was intent on finding out who the driver of the vehicle was and what condition they were in before they had plowed into them. Given how quickly she had brought them to a stop she was quite certain that anyone inside of the vehicle was dead at this point but they were still things she wanted to know.

With his pain fading away and his body recovering Albert felt more and more exhausted. He didn't need to think much about what he was doing though as he continued to suck Lucy's nipple. It seemed like his body didn't require any prompting from his conscious mind to continue. It didn't take long for him to begin feeling very full though as the meal from just a few minutes ago and now Lucy's milk quickly filled him.

As time went on Albert's suck became more of a lick as he relaxed more in Lucy's arm. When he was only taking in a few drops of milk at a time Lucy finally pulled him away from her chest. As she did so she noted a tingling in her nipple and would have liked to press him back to it but knew that wasn't happening. He was too tired and at the moment a little too full to continue suckling.

Once again Lucy lifted her smaller body but this time moved it to her chest. Using her free hand she parted her cleavage while her smaller body slipped Albert between the massive flesh walls. She then slowly relaxed the force that held her breasts apart until Albert was held snuggly between them and began to strip the clothing from her smaller body so she could absorb it into herself.

Even though she was confident that her milk would do the trick she wasn't about to let Albert out of her site for the moment. If something went wrong she wanted to have as much of her there as possible. With Albert securely tucked between her breasts Lucy stood up and made her way into her bedroom. There was no movement towards her bed though as she changed into a pair of shorts and what was to her a t-shirt.

Roy was far from thrilled as he noted the ground once again beginning to shake. He had been called shortly after Lucy's sprint through the city and was now working on examining the damage. At the moment they were mostly checking for those that had been injured. Given the scale of the damage he was quite amazed that so far they hadn't found any corpses. He worried that might change though as he heard the massive impacts indicating the giantess's return.

There was a great wave of relief amongst the entire crew as the giantess came into view and they realized she was only walking not running this time. There wouldn't be any additional craters or injured it seemed. This relief was diminished though when everyone realized she was coming towards them.

Not wanting to risk anyone panicking Roy stood up and proceeded to walk towards Lucy though at a much slower pace then she came towards them. "Pardon me miss, but would you mind telling me why you destroyed several miles of street, telephone wire, vehicles, pluming, broke thousands of windows and damaged some buildings?"

"My friend had been injured in a crash and I was in a hurry to get to him before his injuries could become life threatening. I've already contacted some people to help with the repairs and I've also contacted several insurance companies. Right now I thought I would help with the initial clean up."

To this Roy gave a slight nod. For the moment Roy was the ranking police officer on the site and while he knew he should try to arrest Lucy. He didn't have a death wish and felt that after such a display of the damage she could do just by running people would understand if he didn't risk upsetting her. "I doubt they'll be eager for your return trip but I'm sure that there will be a few people happy to have help to the hospital."

To his Lucy gave a quick nod. "I'm going to retrace my path and pick up anyone that is severally injured. You may want to have some emergency vehicles waiting on the other side for me as well as here. That way I can pick up those with secondary injuries on my way back to you. They can then go to separate medical centers."

Given that there was no way their vehicles could make it over the decimated street Roy was quick accepting of this plan. "That sounds good. Now you said you called in some additional help?"

"Yes a few construction companies to help repair the streets and buildings. I'm going to also survey the damage so that I can tell them what they need to bring and what I feel is the best way to go about the repairs. Given that I destroyed a large section of the main road I imagine people are going to be quite upset during their commutes." After a moment Lucy gave a quick shrug. "I should probably take some time to study the road and see what businesses will be hindered by my little jog."

"What do you intend to do?"

"I'll have to tell you that later for now I'm going to get to looking. Remember to have the ambulances waiting for me on each end."

A sigh escaped Roy as he made his way over to his squad car and took out the radio. "Hello dispatch. We're going to need another crew at the opposite end of the ravine. The big girl decided to come back and help with clean up. I'll fill everyone in on what happened whenever I get back."

One thing Lucy hadn't bothered telling Roy was that she also wanted to have a look at the crash site. She intended to find out who had been behind the wheel of that vehicle. Given the speed with which the semi had been moving whenever the crash occurred she felt certain something was amiss and as she couldn't take out her anger on the driver she wanted to know if there was someone else at fault.

She wasn't so focused that she failed the notice someone inside one of the turned over vehicles. Bending down Lucy slipped the tip of her fingernail within the door frame and easily popped the door open. What she found was a man and a woman in the floor bored of the back seat. "Well aren't you two just exhibitionist starting that on a major road way."

It wasn't surprising to Lucy that the young couple didn't seem glad to see her and indeed seemed quite scared. Still, she could see they both had some decent bumps. "Okay come on out there should be an ambulance waiting up the road. I'll drop you off there and anyone else we pick up along the way."

Even if they were both upset with Lucy especially the young man given that it was his car. Neither of the couple tried to escape due in part to their injuries and due to their knowledge of her. They were also rational enough to know that trying to escape wasn't going to happen. This became all the more clear as they tried to rise up only for the male to end up lying down again as his leg had impacted quite solidly with a raised area of the floor.

Instead of waiting for the people to struggle out of the vehicle Lucy carefully inserted two of her fingers into the flipped car and used it to widen the door frame. She then used the same two fingers to retrieve first the man and then the woman placing them both in her open palm. "Yeah, a doctor is going to have to give your leg some treatment."

As Lucy made her way down the street she already knew she would have at least one effective method of testing to see who really needed treatment. If they were well enough to get up and truly run away from her they would most likely be okay.

************************************************************************

"Good morning sleepy head."

Even as the words reached his ears they had no meaning to Albert as he had yet to awaken enough to really think. So that instead of speaking he turned his head to the side as if trying to block out the sound by covering at least one of his ears and shifted slightly in an attempt to nestle himself deeper into Lucy's cleavage. As he brought his face closer to her breasts he was aware enough to notice a very pleasant sent though he didn't realize this was the sent of Lucy's skin.

It was very hard for Lucy not to part her breasts and help Albert slip himself further between her breasts. She settled for just watching him though as he turned his head to the side and seemed to try to bury his face into her flesh. "Okay, wake up whenever you're ready to do so." Once again all Albert did was shrug in response to Lucy's words. It was very clear that he was in a comfortable enough setting that his conscious mind was in no rush to awaken. Rather it seemed as if his body was trying to get away from anything that might awaken his mind.

Normally being ignored was quite frustrating for Lucy and it would have been far from wise to be openly trying to block her out. This was a rare exception though as Albert's attempt to block her out only served to amuse her and bring a smile to her face. In just about any other situations he would have been in for quite an experience had he tried to ignore her but this time she just couldn't bring herself to be upset by it. Instead of feeling insulted she found herself feeling quite flattered.

Reaching to either side of her head Lucy took a few strands of hair in either hand and brought them around so that they draped over her shoulders. She then proceeded to place the strands of hair over her cleavage and tuck them into the front of her shirt so that Albert was covered. The sun would be up soon and she didn't want the light waking him up before he was ready. She then turned and began her last trip down the road. By now she had located all the people that hadn't left under their own power and was just helping with some basic clean up so she didn't worry about leaving.

Less then twelve hours had passed since Lucy's little sprint down the street and already several crews had arrived. This had seemed good enough in the beginning but Roy had been quite shocked to learn they already had a strategy for the repair work. He was less surprised though whenever he learned that the plan had been supplied by their employers. Now he was upset though as he found himself in quite a situation.

In order to begin repairs the contractors required approval from the city itself. Approval which hadn't been provided yet as the mayor and council had yet to see the plans. He also knew they'd want a few civil engineers to look them over as well and while this hold up wasn't his doing. Roy was currently the one having to deal with the crews that had already arrived.

While the crewmen had began to question him as to when they would get to begin working they weren't the main problem. Indeed the crewmen seemed fairly content to set around leading Roy to believe they had already been assured of their pay. Rather the major point of frustration came from the fact that several people had already seen fit to begin questioning when the repairs would begin. He was fairly certain they didn't realize how extensive the damage was.

Yet another problem for Roy was that he hadn't been home for a few hours after his shift when he had received the call. Now he had been out there all night helping coordinate the first wave of efforts along with the city's emergency response services and he wanted to go home. It was an odd situation.

The damage was significant but it followed along a strip of road something that an earth quake or hurricane wouldn't be generous enough to do. So that while he felt they had an earth quake's worth the damage it was all focused in a single area. It was convenient for the sake of planning and organizing but it also left people more free to move around and far more vocal about their opinions. After all they hadn't seen the damage so they didn't seem to understand how bad it was.

"Roy, I'm quite certain that I found everyone that required medical attention and cleared away all the big messes. I'm going to go on home now."

To this Roy gave a quick nod. He was upset with Lucy for causing the damage but at least she had helped out. The mass of cars that been neatly arranged along one lain of the road was proof of that and it let him show some progress to people to quiet them down. At least it did until they started showing up and asking about their vehicles. Fortunately Lucy had the foresight to arrange the vehicles in groups from those that were street worthy, those that weren't and those that wouldn't even run. "Thanks for the assistance. Now Lucy you know that you're going to be hearing from some people."

"Yeah I know. I'm certain that they'll be in touch just as soon as they find somewhere to hide or when they have enough people to hide behind to feel safe." As she finished speaking Lucy allowed a smile to form. It slowly spread until her lips curled upward revealing her pearly white teeth.

Even if Lucy was being helpful the predatory nature of her smile wasn't lost on Roy. It was in that instant that he resolved to quit the moment someone even suggested the use of force to force Lucy to behave in a certain way. "Well then. Before you go, would you. Did you send a report detailing your plan and who all you had hired to the mayor's office?"

"Yes I did. Quite honestly I'm surprised that they haven't been approved already but all well. Everyone isn't here yet so I suppose it's alright if they take a little bit of time so long as they don't take too long. If they haven't allowed work to begin within a week I'll probably have to speak to them personally. I don't mind fixing what I damaged but I don't intend on allowing them to draw the process out."

"Well I'm not a civil engineer but it looked like you had everything worked out. Have a nice evening and thanks for the aid."

In response Lucy gave a quick nod and started to walk away. After she had taken a few steps she spoke up so that Roy could hear her. The volume she had to use insured far more then he could hear her though. "Thank you for not being foolish enough to try to arrest me. Had you done so and pressed the issue I can assure you that it wouldn't have ended well."

He might have been the one she had been talking to moments before but Roy knew that wasn't directed only at him. That had been a warning directed towards anyone that might try to arrest her. Roy had of course already resolved that he wouldn't try anything of the sorts he just hoped that no one else would. The path of destruction that lay behind him was enough to convince him that would be a very bad idea.

Rick fumed as he set at his office desk. He had learned of the destruction Lucy had caused during her little jog shortly after coming into work as while he didn't live anywhere near the location it did affect his business. To make matters even more frustrating he had lost contact with one of the teams that had been driving through that very location. Images of his truck and all its cargo crushed flat kept filling his head as he fumed.

"That bitch." A frustrated snort escaped Rick as he scooted away from his desk and began to pace around his office. Due to the length of road destroyed several crews would have to take different routs to get to their destinations. The rout changes would add several hours to the shipping time if not a day or more due to congestion. He already had people calling his clients to explain the situation but he knew at least a few would want to speak to him soon.

Other shippers that used the same routs would be having similar trouble of course but that did not comfort him. In the end people would be getting their deliveries late and they would want someone to yell out. He would also be losing money and quite possibly customers. This was especially troublesome in regards to the truck that had gone missing given that the shipment might not be arriving at all.

It took a while but at last Albert's eyes began to itch enough in their effort to wake up for him to try and rub them. The first thing he noticed upon attempting this was that his arms couldn't reach his eyes though it took a bit of pulling for him to realize this. In response to this discovery he was brought more into the waking world and forced to open his eyes to see just where he was and why he couldn't move his arms.

Enough light was able to get through Lucy's hair for him to see despite the sleep in his eyes and he instantly realized why he couldn't move his arms. They were pinned against his sides by Lucy's massive breasts. As he glanced up to look at her face though he found his view blocked by a sky of golden brown hair. "Good morning Lucy."

"So you finally woke up. You know you have been fighting your sleep for over a hour now."

"Are you serious? I only do that when I'm very comfortable and content where I am." In response to his comment Albert was squeezed from both sides as Lucy giggled slightly. The extra pressure bordered on uncomfortable but it never reached that point. "Hey Lucy, would you mind freeing my arms?"

Instead of verbally responding Lucy slipped one of her hands under her hair though she didn't remove the strands. She then slipped two fingers between her breasts just above Albert's head and parted the flesh. This served to part the flesh lower down enough for him to quickly work his arms out from between her flesh though he had to be careful not to slip further down. Once Lucy felt Albert's arms resting atop her breasts she quickly relaxed the pressure that held her breasts apart trapping him in place once again.

As Albert rubbed the sleep from his eyes he became more aware of his environment and his condition. One thing he noticed almost immediately was that part of him was pressing very firmly into the front of his shorts and into Lucy's flesh. Apparently being injured wasn't enough to keep his body from responding to his environment. "So Lucy where are we?"

"We're just doing some traveling. There is someone that I want to go and talk to."

"Ah I see. Lucy, do you think that we could stop somewhere for breakfast? I'm kind of hungry right now."

"Mm there is no need for that. Still, the fact that you're feeling hungry is a good sign. It means that your body is healing up nicely."

"Yeah I feel fine."

"That's going to last about two hours. Most of your injuries have healed up at least to the point that I'm not too worried about them. I won't be permitting you to see much activity today but it's coming along nicely. That said your body has used up a lot of nutrients recovering."

"So I'm going to start feeling like crap in an hour or two?"

"You will if you are too active and don't eat. I'll be helping you with that though." Even as she was speaking Lucy reached a hand back under her hair though this time it appeared she was holding something.

For a moment Albert thought Lucy was going to set down something for him to eat but instead when her fingers released a smaller four meter tall Lucy was standing there. He grew increasingly perplexed when Lucy used her hand to separate her breasts a bit and the smaller body reached down for him. "Lucy what are you doing?"

"I'm here to give you your breakfast of course."

"Huh? You mean?" For a moment Albert grew silent as he looked at Lucy's breasts.

"Yes. My breast milk is the best thing for you right now so that is what you're going to get. Don't worry. No one can see is us. At least not with my hair arranged like it is and us setting here."

The first thought in Albert's head was to protest but as he was lifted from Lucy's cleavage he opted for a question instead. "Do I have a choice in the matter?"

"No. You don't have a choice. My breast milk is the best thing for you right now so that is what you're going to get. Besides I rather enjoyed having you suck on my nipples last night and this time you have a empty belly opposed to the full one you had last night." An amused giggle escaped Lucy as she held Albert with one arm and used the other to adjust her bra so that he could get to her nipple.

As Albert looked at Lucy's nipple he couldn't help but feel conflicted. Lucy's breasts were far from the worse things he could think to have his face pressed against and most assuredly in the top five of the best things. Her milk was quite enjoyable to him as well. However, at the same time the idea of being breast fed didn't set perfectly well with him. His thoughts were interrupted for a moment as Lucy adjusted his position and he suddenly realized she had begun to hum. "You really enjoy this don't you?"

"Well I said I did. Didn't I?" For a moment Lucy was made to giggle as she gave a slight shrug. "Did it sound like I was being sarcastic?"

It was impossible for Albert not to worry just a little. Even before she had been introduced to symbi Lucy had been very used to getting her way. Her parents had confirmed this with numerous stories of how willful she had been. This trend had continued as she had grown and while those she cared for could get her to back down at times. She was still very adept at getting her way and quite use to it. Now it seemed that she had come to enjoy breast feeding him in a very short period of time.

Given Lucy's tendencies and tenacity when it came to getting her way and the degree to which she seemed to enjoy breast feeding him. Albert was made to wonder if he might be taking his meals from her breasts for quite some time. It wasn't a horrible thought to him though it was quite an awkward one as he imagined what it would be like to end every meal with an erection. The fear seemed quite valid as Lucy did indeed appear to be enjoying herself and rarely gave up what she enjoyed.

At first she just waited but as Albert seemed to be lost in contemplation Lucy finally pressed his face against her breasts so that his mouth was just over her nipple. She was delighted by how quickly she felt his mouth open and her nipple poked inside. There was no need for any stimulation to make her nipple pert the thought of what she was doing had already seen to that. A slight yelp escaped her though whenever she felt Albert begin to suckle almost instantly as if his mind was playing no part in the act.

His mind having no part in the act was how Albert actually felt at the moment. While he felt Lucy's nipple poke into his mouth he found that he had began to suckle even before he had time to think of it. Without his pain or exhaustion to blind him this time though he was fully aware of the situation and most assuredly noticed the yelp from Lucy and the way they were bounced slightly as her larger body gave a slight jerk. He had no means of commenting on this though as Lucy kept a hand behind his head insuring that it stayed firmly pressed against her breast.

"There we go that is better and believe me whenever I say this is better for you then any fast food biscuit."

As Lucy's words reached his ears Albert recalled what she had told him the previous night. She had told him that her breast milk was the best thing for him so that was what he was going to get. At first he hadn't thought too much of it but assumed that she meant while he was injured. Now that he was more aware he realized that Lucy had made no mention of his injuries in that statement whatsoever. The only thing she had said was that her breast milk was what was best for him so that is what he'd have to drink.

Albert had learned long ago to look for additional meanings in Lucy's statements especially when it involved her doing something or doing something to you that you might resist. Now it seemed that he might have let one slip by him as he realized that Lucy may very well have decided that her breast milk was the best thing for him regardless of him being injured or not. He couldn't help but wonder if she might have been telling him that she would be breast feeding him from then on out.

Even though they weren't speaking at the moment Lucy could tell Albert was deep in contemplation. She wasn't surprised by this as she thought that he would need time to adapt to the idea of her breast feeding him. "You know Albert I really don't see why anyone should think my breast feeding you is strange. It's healthier for you and it is no drain on my body at least none that would be felt. If you were to look at it from a purely logical stand point this is the best thing to do."

Upon feeling Lucy's hand release his head Albert pulled back for a moment. "But Lucy, women breast feed their babies not their husbands or even children after a certain age." In response to Albert's comment Lucy pressed his head back to her nipple when he resumed suckling she spoke up again.

"That depends entirely on how you look at it. After all breast feeding is just a very intimate means of providing nourishment. For most women it loses any practicality when dealing with children past a certain age or husband. However, that doesn't happen to me and it isn't like women quit providing nourishment. One could argue that a meal lovingly prepared by a wife for her family is essentially the same as breast feeding."

When Lucy released her hold on his head again Albert didn't immediately back away but continued to suckle. He wasn't agreeing with what Lucy had just said though he could see her logic. Instead he was taking his time to try and think of a decent argument this quickly brought on a question instead. "So you're saying that if it was practical a woman should breast feed her husband?"

"I'm not saying that she should rather I'm saying that if each provided equal amount of nourishment she should be given the choice. Whichever one she enjoys the most should be her decision to make unless of course he wants to prepare his own meals. In your case though the situation is different, in that my breast milk is actually better for you."

"Now Lucy, you do realize that the socially accepted idea is that a woman should only breast feed her infants and even then only for a certain time."

"Now Albert, you do realize that the socially accept idea is that a woman shouldn't stand taller then most buildings so that everyone is smaller then her. Come on Albert. Give me one logical reason why I shouldn't breast feed you?"

A sigh escaped Albert even as his head was forced back to Lucy's nipple. Her hand left his head moments later so that he knew he was free to speak. Until he had thought of something to say though Lucy expected him to continue suckling. At least this meant he would have plenty of time to consider possible arguments as he struggled to come up with a truly logical reason.

"Breast feeding is not only a way of providing you with nourishment but it's also a wonderful form of bonding." For a moment Lucy was made to giggle as she brought Albert slightly higher and her head forward until she gave him a kiss on the forehead. "This is us kissing and providing you with a lovingly prepared meal all at the same time."

A sigh escaped Albert as he took in a deep breath and remembered the scent that he had noticed earlier that morning when his face was against Lucy's flesh. For a moment their conversation was pushed out of his mind as he was made to wonder why he had never noticed it before. "What if I want to cook something for you?"

"Mm you're welcome to it but that doesn't mean I'm not going to provide your meals."

Though he wasn't giving up on the subject for the moment Albert grew silent as he suckled. Having his face pressed against Lucy's breasts and her milk filling his mouth wasn't exactly helping him with his arguments. "I'm not consenting anything just yet but can this wait until I'm not pressed against your breast?"

"Sure, if you're still uncomfortable with me breast feeding you by then we can talk about it some more. However, until you can come up with an argument against it I intend to do whatever is best for you."

For a moment Albert considered pointing out to Lucy that she couldn't view him as an equal as long as she was breast feeding him but that was futile. If that was the case then she would never be able to view him as an equal regardless of her breast feeding him or not. Their scale and physical power difference was just too great.

"Albert, before we drop the subject may I ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it?"

"Can't you do this for me and let me do it for you? I wasn't kidding whenever I said I enjoy it and the feeling of your lips around my nipple is just wonderful. Knowing that I'm not just providing you with physical stimulation but actual nourishment is a delight to me. It makes me feel closer to you and like you are becoming even more mine. So that you no longer need to depend on the world to provide you with nourishment but can rely entirely on me. I don't have to share that part of you with anyone."

Had Albert come upon a reason for him not to let Lucy breast feed him so certain that the logic couldn't have been refuted he still couldn't have uttered it in that moment. Instead he proceeded to press his face more firmly into Lucy's breasts as he gave her nipple a kiss before pulling back. "If it makes you that happy then I will gladly."

Once again Lucy pressed Albert's head into her nipple and placed a kiss on his forehead. "Thank you Albert."

Even as he suckled Albert couldn't help but feel awkward yet he couldn't say anything about it. In that one moment Lucy had defused his will to debate the issue no matter how awkward he felt. It still wasn't certain how often Lucy would expect him to let her breast feed him but he knew it wouldn't be often enough that he needed to get used to the idea. So that he closed his eyes and simply tried to adapt to the situation.

It was hard for Roy not to let his annoyance show as he made his way towards the reporters that had gathered. Of course they had gathered well beforehand but at the time he had a reason to avoid them. Now he would have to go and speak with them. There wasn't time for him to introduce himself as the questions began.

"Excuse me is it true that this was done by local Lucy Angeye?"

"Are they going to be any attempts to apprehend the perpetrator?"

"How many were killed in this destruction? Surely the police won't stand by and do nothing."

It was hard for Roy to keep himself from smarting off when he heard the first comment and he wanted to punch the reporter that uttered the third question. He kept these urges under control as he spoke. "Yes, while I'm not sure of all the details this was the result of Miss Angeye jogging through the city. However, at this moment no attempts to apprehend her have been made and to my knowledge none are planned. Several people were injured but as of yet we haven't found any fatalities."

"How can you say there won't be any attempts to apprehend her? Just look at this devastation."

"Yes, it is a very good reason not to try and further more this was not an act of malice on Miss Angeye's part but the result of a short period of great distress. Had this been done with malicious intent there would have been worse then broken bones."

"What about the cost?"

"Well as far as the cost of repairs to the road. Miss Angeye has apparently already hired several contracts to assist in the repairs. The crews you already see gathered are actually being paid by Miss Angeye."

"Even with that surely your department isn't just going to turn a blind eye to everything that has happened. Regardless as to whether she's paying for the repairs of the roads what about the injured?"

"I haven't had a chance to look into that but it wouldn't surprise me if she was taking care of that as well."

"So they are no plans to apprehend her?"

"None that I'm currently aware of however if such plans are being made I'm certain such an operation would be handled by the military. Not a police department that isn't equipped to halt a tank let alone a lady that could crush one like an empty soda can."

"So are the police refraining from attempts to apprehend Miss Angeye because she poses too great of a threat?"

"I would be lying if I said that wasn't a factor in this situation. At the very least she should be brought in for questioning. However, at the moment we are ill prepared for such a task and she doesn't seem to be of a mind set to go along. As for future plans I will have to speak to my superiors to learn of any."

"You seem to be taking this very nonchalantly. Are the police that scared of one girl?"

"Well if I was ordered to apprehend her by force I would have no issue with handing in my badge. That does not mean I believe people should be concerned though. Whatever caused her distress has been taken care of and she has since calmed down."

"So you don't believe she is a threat to anyone?"

Now Roy grew silent and he knew it was for longer then he should have been without anyone telling him so. "To the public as a whole I do not believe Miss Angeye poses any threat at this time."

"So tell me Albert. What did my breast smell like? You sure seemed to enjoy nuzzling them."

It took a moment for Albert to register that Lucy was speaking to him as he was once again buried between her breasts. The warm flesh hugged him delightfully from all sides and with a full belly and his injuries he was already feeling sleepy again. "I'm not sure."

"You did like the smell though didn't you?"

"Yeah, they smelt real nice." For a moment Albert just rubbed his cheek against Lucy's breasts before looking up at the sky of hair she used to cover him still. "If I had to describe the smell I would have to say it smelt comforting, pure and warm. I can't really think of anything that it smelt like though."

"Mm that will do quite nicely."

"Hey Lucy where are we? It sounds like you entered a city or a pretty well developed area at least."

"I have. I'm going to speak to someone. They are a few questions I need to ask and I wanted to visit them personally."

Given the events of the last few hours Albert felt he had a good idea of who she was going to see. He just didn't know what he should do about the situation. "Lucy, are you angry?"

In response to Albert's question Lucy gave a slight giggle and parted her hair so that she could look down at him. "Oh Albert I'm positively furious right now. I really hope the police don't try to arrest me over some miss guided sense of duty or I may not be able to control myself. I'd probably end up eating every last one of them for getting in my way."

Even though she was smiling Albert knew that Lucy wasn't joking about what she'd just said. It worried him but he also felt proud of her. Given how capable Lucy was it would have been very easy for her to put her anger ahead of people's lives and take it out on those weaker then herself. She hadn't sought to take it out immediately but held it in for so long. "What were you doing while I was asleep?"

"I helped with rescue efforts for a little while then I helped with clean up. The clean up was the real issue as I didn't harm that many people at least not seriously. A few of them were even in such a mind set and healthy enough that they ran away from me."

"So you felt helping those people was more important then your anger?"

"Oh, no. Not in the least."

It was impossible for Albert not to look somewhat perplexed as he looked up into Lucy's eyes. "Then why go help them first?"

"Albert, the person I'm going to speak to is at least partly responsible for your injuries. I can't let someone get away with that even if they didn't know their actions would have such consequences. That said. Even if they knew I would be coming to see them and ran I could track them down. It isn't like they're going to expire within the next few hours and I wouldn't care if they managed to injure themselves. Helping those people was a more urgent need but not more important."

"What if I told you that I'm not as angry with them as you are? That I don't believe you should seriously harm them."

"That's very forgiving of you Albert and I wouldn't mind if they had only hit me or caused the destruction of the car. However, they caused you to be injured and while you can forgive them for what part the played in your injuries I can not. If I hadn't been there with you at the time then you wouldn't have survived that crash or at least it isn't likely that you would have."

An annoyed snort escaped Rick as he watched Roy addressing the media. "That bitch gets away with anything she wants just because she's big and the cops are cowards. I swear the military should have blown her to bits years ago." Even as he was speaking the picture quickly switched to a view that was clearly from a helicopter.

"Currently we are following Miss Angeye from some distance though her ultimate destination is unknown. In spite of the reassurance of officials it is this stations opinion that she should be avoided at least until some official statement is given or actions taken."

It actually surprised Albert when Lucy took hold of him and parted her breasts slightly. At first he thought she might be about to remove him from her cleavage but instead she pushed him in further. It soon became clear why as he heard her voice moments later and realized had his ears not been covered it would have been deafening. "Here is an official statement. I'm rather irritable at this moment but there is only one person I'm upset with. So long as no one gets in my way they don't have to worry about me."

The fact that the helicopter ceased to follow Lucy even once she began to move told every viewer plenty. Apparently they had forgotten that Lucy was capable of monitoring communications signals and she had been listening into the news as they had been broadcasting. Despite the reassurance though, the helicopter pilot seemed to have no desire to fly closer to Lucy. At last one of the reporters spoke though relying on Lucy to hear the words through the signals instead of by sound waves. "Miss Angeye, aren't you worried this will damage your image?"

While it was too quiet for them to hear it they could tell from the way Lucy's body moved she was giggling. Without bothering to turn around she spoke up. "No. I'm not. This is more important to me then image."

Due to the shock of Lucy suddenly speaking up they had forgotten to give her current location. However, as Rick watched the video feed he could have sworn he recognized those streets. He wasn't entirely certain though having never seen them from a bird's eye view as he was now. It was familiar enough to him to cause some concern though as he couldn't shake the feeling that he knew that place.

"So who is she going to speak to?"

"I don't know Sir. She didn't give me any more information then she's given anyone else." Despite his best efforts Roy couldn't help the exhausted sigh that escaped him.

"Okay Roy. Do you believe that she would do what she said?"

"I wouldn't doubt her word Sir. Even if she is just bluffing can we really afford to take the chance that she is serious? I know we are sworn to serve and protect but."

"You don't want to send a few hundred men to their deaths to save one. I know and I agree. I really don't like the idea of backing down with so much media attention but I don't like the consequences of not backing down even more. This could be a mistake but unless we receive some form of military aid I'm not going to try to intercept her."

"So have you had any news on possible military aid?"

"There hasn't been any movement on part of the military so far. Of course why should they be? She is technically a civilian and that is our department. I've no doubt that they have some plan in place should she get out of control however I also doubt that a few murderers and damaged streets would be enough to spur them to action."

"It doesn't seem likely Sir."

"Roy, you sound like your about to fall over. I guess this has been a trying experience for you."

"It isn't the hours Sir. It's just this was a bit more to handle then I expected. Any idea when repair work will begin?"

"I'm pushing for them to settle on Miss Angeye's plan right now. Even if the plan isn't the best in the long run they can just change the plan once the construction has began. It's not like anything major will happen within the first seventy two hours anyway. Not with that level of destruction at least. Roy, someone should be there to relieve you soon once they get there go home and get some rest."

"Thank you Sir."

"Roy, you studied her some haven't you?"

"Yes, with her making regular trips through the district I felt that it was a necessity. Why do you ask Sir?"

"Once she has had time to calm down do you believe that you could speak with her? Perhaps she could be made to understand that she put us in quite a situation."

"I believe she already realizes that Sir and is attempting to make the situation as easy on us as possible while still carrying out her intentions. So I believe she'd be quite willing to work with us once she has taken care of whatever she intends to do."

"Alright, I'll talk to you about this some more later."

As Rick looked out the window he felt like his chest had been caught in a vise. It became hard to draw breath and his legs seemed to have become led. It took considerable effort for him to even keep standing as Lucy came into view. She wasn't so close that it was certain she was heading in his direction but it was enough to make him worry.

Once she turned down the road that clearly led to his buildings though he felt certain she was heading his way. So that he felt his heart jump into his throat and his legs suddenly began to work. Quickly moving from behind his desk he dashed to the door and actually impacted it with his shoulder as he worked the knob. Had anyone been on the other side, they would have ended up on their rear as he quickly burst out.

It wasn't the biggest building Lucy had seen and indeed far from it. It wasn't the nicest either but given the amount of activity going on it was a decent business. The structure spoke to Lucy of a company that was still turning a nice profit but hadn't done any real growing for the past decade or so. As she approached the building though all activity came to a stop and people seemed to either scatter or try to hide. Bending down she gave the building a quick tap. "Hello, I'm here to speak with Rick Mober. I assume that he is in."

Upon hearing his name Rick nearly wet himself. Even if Lucy hadn't said why she was there to visit him given what he knew about previous situations he had an idea of what it was. He remembered to keep from speaking though. It was a few moments later that he heard Lucy's voice again.

"Okay, listen very carefully. Either he comes out and speaks to me right now or I'm going to come in there and speak to him. How he gets out here I don't care but I don't think anyone except him wants me having to come in and get him."

Images of his employees descending upon him filled Rick's mind as he listened to the giantess. A hurried rush of movement seemed to confirm this was what was happening but then he heard the fire alarm. It was a more horrifying moment then he realized.

At first Lucy had thought perhaps the people inside would bring Rick out to her. She was rather surprised and even amused when she noted them beginning to exit the building. After a few moments of thought and realizing what was going on she was made to giggle.

They weren't willing to bring him out and be an accessory to any possible crime yet they weren't willing to stay with him either. So they had resolved to exit the building. "Well then I suppose that works just as well as any other option. Okay Rick you have until your employees are done evacuating the building so long as they keep evacuating to come out."

Seeing his secretary run by him with her hills removed did nothing to comfort Rick as he realized she'd taken them off so that she could run more effectively. The sound of people evacuating the building all around him was interrupted though when he heard a voice. "You should probably go out and speak to her. I doubt making her wait will improve her mood."

Rick didn't see the speaker but he could tell it had been said by someone moving away though at a slower pace then most. As the voice moved away it did spur him to action though so that he quickly made his way to the stairwell. His planned destination wasn't the outside to confront Lucy, but rather down to one of the exits were employees would most likely be rushing out. As he moved he began to strip away his business clothing.

Even if Lucy held her walking speed constant Albert could tell she was moving by the slight bouncing of her breasts that engulfed him. She had left him buried as deeply as when she was speaking to the reporters though so he couldn't hear what was happening around him. He had been able to hear what Lucy was saying though. The fact that she had yet to move left him wondering what was going on. "Lucy, are you really going to speak with him?"

To this Lucy gave a quick nod. "Yes Albert I was being honest when I said I wanted to talk. I like for people to know why I'm angry with them and why I'm going to do what I do." Even as she was speaking to Albert Lucy watched as only one person was left within the building. Instead of acting immediately though she turned to the workers. "I would appreciate it if you would all move back at least two hundred yards from the building so no debris hurts any of you. If you'll do that I can insure none of you will be harmed by me."

It seemed odd to some but the crowd didn't scream or run but proceeded to do as Lucy said. They weren't treating the situation as if a monster had come to eat them alive or crush them under foot but as if an authority figure had given them an order. Their behavior was enough to gain Lucy's curiosity and she took a moment to examine the crowd to see what was happening. What caught her attention almost immediately was that while the majority of the people seemed quite scared they appeared to be following a few who were more composed.

A grin formed on Lucy's face as she realized what was going on. It only took two or three agitators to cause a larger number of people to panic. By the same token such a group of people could be controlled to a limited extent by just a few people that managed to hold their composure. Lucy had been fortunate as she noted a few figures leading the way. So long as none of them panicked and she was careful she believed the crowd would remain orderly.

Upon coming to the exit Rick felt his heart quiver when he didn't find a single person. He was able to look outside though and noted everyone moving away from the building. This meant he only had so much time to think of a plan.

"Oh so you decided to come out? Come on the door is right in front of you." An amused giggle escaped Lucy as Rick gave a slight jump upon her revealing she'd been watching him the entire time.

Between the media coverage and the past few events Rick knew that Lucy was upset with him. As he considered his options he finally decided on running despite not having any real chance to escape. Turning around he began to run back down the hallway. He didn't get very far though before he heard a massive impact though he didn't dare to look behind himself.

After Rick had turned to run Lucy had placed her fingers together so that her hand was flat and inserted it through the door way in order to diminish the damage to the building. Her hand had still proven too tall and the sound Rick heard had been her fingers tearing away a good chunk of the building. As her hand neared him she opened it up creating a slight roar as her fingers easily tore through the stone hallway. She actually moved slower then normal to give Rick a few moments to appreciate the affect before her fingers clinched around him.

Seeing Lucy's fingers pass him up and feeling the warmth of her palm just behind had been almost more then Rick could stand and as her fingers closed around him a horrified scream escaped him. He didn't hear her fist crash through the opening her fingers had first heightened though as her hand engulfed him entirely. All he saw was darkness until Lucy had taken him out of the building and held him before her face. "Well hello there."

Despite being held well over eighty meters above the ground Rick tried to bring himself to his feet to escape. However, Lucy had pressed her thumb to his chest so that he wasn't going anywhere. "Let me go!"

An amused giggle escaped Lucy as she looked at Rick. "In due time but first you need to calm down so we can have a little conversation."

In spite of Lucy's presence Rick didn't seem to hear her and he continued to struggle in her palm. This didn't seem to bother Lucy though as she continued to hold Rick until he tired himself out enough to calm down. "Please let me go! I don't. What do you want?"

"Well first of all I want to ask you some questions. Are you familiar with the name Randy Polmur?"

"No. I never." A sharp gasp escaped Rick as Lucy suddenly increased the pressure with which she held him down forcing him to be quiet.

"Don't lie to me. Now I understand you're scared so take a moment to think."

The massive finger that held him down didn't let up right after Lucy had finished speaking but only released Rick once his vision beginning to blur. As he regained enough of his breath to speak and thought for a moment he recalled the name. "Yes. He's one of my drivers."

"Yes he was. It may interest you to know that he crashed into my friend and me less then fifteen hours ago. As you can probably tell I'm quite upset by that."

As Rick regained his breath the pain in his stomach didn't fade entirely and while he wasn't sure. He couldn't help but think that Lucy had perhaps broken something or at least bruised his chest quite deeply. "What do you want me to do about him?"

"Mm there isn't much you can do about him given that he died in the crash. You know when it occurred there was one thing I noticed quite quickly. He never hit the breaks. This struck me as odd and I later went to examine what had been going on. You know Rick Randy had quite an extensive history with abuse of controlled substances."

Denial of any knowledge seemed like a very good idea to Rick but given the pain in his chest he chose to be honest to an extent. "Yes. He did have a slight problem he's been on probation for a while now but I assure you I never expected such an event."

A delighted giggle escaped Lucy as her smile slowly grew until her teeth where showing. "Bull shit. I took some time and examine his records and I have to say he was quite adept at making delivers ahead of schedule. That said I also examined every medical record I could find on him and I have to say he should have been fired long ago."

"I just wanted to give him a chance is all. If I had known that something like this would happen I would have never."

"Oh you wanted him to give him another chance to drive around in a vehicle cable of going well over one hundred twenty kilometers an hour and weighing several tons. Even when you knew full well that he had a substance abuse problem and shouldn't be trusted on the road with anything larger then a tricycle."

"I know that it was a mistake but I was just trying to help him."

"Let's see you were trying to help him by allowing him to continue driving such a vehicle and paying him a regular check a check which he then used to feed his addiction so that it grew progressively worse. Yet you never took any steps to coerce or even nudge him into rehabilitation. Just for your information I took a moment to look at your company insurance policy."

Even before Lucy had picked him up most of the color had drained from Rick's skin. Now he felt his lip beginning to quiver. "Takes me to the cops, I'll confess anything."

Once again Lucy was made to giggle as she shook her head. "Oh no. No. No. While I'm sure before this is all over there will be police attention this is between you and me. You see I don't trust the legal system to give you the punishment that I believe is fitting. Of course I'm sure that you and many would disagree but I swear if I don't do something about this anger I'm going to end up lashing out at someone that didn't deserve it."

"Please. Please turn me over to the police! I won't try for parole I'll spend however much time they give me. I'll beg for the maximum."

It was impossible for Lucy not to giggle as she shook her head. "No. Suffice to say the crimes you could be accused of are quite lacking in my opinion. So I'm going to eat you."

Rick felt as if his heart and skipped a beat as his mouth fell open. His entire body began to tremble as he spoke. "Please don't! Please I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please don't kill me! I'll do anything you want to make it up."

"Oh so you'll taste good for me?" As she spoke Lucy let her tongue slide out from within her mouth and she slowly ran it over her lips leaving a trail of saliva behind.

"This is illegal, it's murder!"

"Mm yeah and that is what they said whenever I ate my cousin after he got out of prison. That is one of the nice perks to having power and wealth. You can get away with things that either one alone wouldn't protect you from. Now remember you said that you would taste good for me." As she was speaking Lucy lifted Rick higher and tilted her head backwards. When she began to move him over her mouth she slowly parted her lips letting in increasing amounts of sun light so that he could stair down into her throat.

As frightening as seeing Lucy's teeth had been seeing them parted and looking down into her throat was even worse. A horrified scream escaped Rick as he took hold of the massive finger that for the moment held him in place. As frightening as being held by her was it didn't compare to the idea of falling down into that void. He was soon to learn that Lucy had no intention of releasing him as he felt her fingers beginning to shift his position.

It was Lucy's intent to draw this out so that she carefully adjusted Rick's position until she was holding him with two fingers. As she took him between her thumb and index finger she began to slowly lower him towards her mouth. With each breath that she took a massive wave of hot humid air would be sent rushing up towards him making it even more clear just how close he was to her mouth.

There didn't seem to be anything he could do yet Rick tried as instinct took over. He wasn't able to move his arms though he still pushed against Lucy's fingers with them. As he was unable to use his limbs to fight her he turned his head to the side and bit down on Lucy's finger as hard as he could. The effort was utterly futile though it didn't prevent him from trying everything he could to force her to release him His struggles stopped for a moment as he felt her tongue brush against his legs.

It seemed that Rick was getting close to going into shock so as Lucy lowered him far enough that his feet were just past her teeth she closed her mouth slightly. Taking his lower legs between her teeth she bit down bringing a sharp howl of pain from Rick. Without removing him from her mouth but being careful not to bite down on him she spoke. "I bite back."

Being so close to Lucy's mouth meant that Rick could not only hear every word but feel them as well. Clearly she meant for others to hear her as the sound waves seemed to vibrate every bone in his body. The pain also had the affect of snapping him back to reality though his panic didn't subside. Upon feeling himself being lowered again he began to kick with his legs striking Lucy's tongue several times a few of them striking the roof of her mouth.

For a moment Lucy stopped lowering Rick as a giggle escaped her. It had never occurred to her beforehand but she was somewhat surprised to find that Rick's kicking tickled her. At least they did whenever they struck the roof of her mouth. The side note amused her enough to buy Rick some more time as she resolved that Albert would have to discover this eventually.

When Lucy had began tilting her hair back it had caused her hair to move and Albert could see outside better. So he was far from oblivious to Rick's situation. He remained silent though being fully aware that this is something he couldn't talk Lucy out of without paying a heavy price. This was a personnel issue for Lucy so that if Albert did try to stand in her way he knew that he would have to truly hurt her in one of the few ways anyone could to stop her. Given the situation he just wasn't willing to do so.

The fact that Lucy began to giggle and shake slightly as he was lowered into her mouth past his waste wasn't lost to Rick. While he wasn't aware of what was making her laugh it only made the situation worse. "You sadistic bitch!" A sharp crack to his back came moments later from Lucy's tongue which knocked all the air out of Rick's lunges.

There was a strong desire in Lucy to draw this out and make sure Rick felt as much horror as possible. However, she didn't want to give him the impression that he had any control over her that might let him extend his life. So instead of retorting to his comment she had given him a quick flick with her tongue which would have left a bruise over most of his back if he was going to live long enough for it to develop.

Rick was forced to breathe in increasingly humid air as he was lowered into Lucy's mouth past his chest. He felt her tongue reaching up for him and snaking around his body the only thing preventing it from actually taking hold of him was her fingers. Then he felt those fingers release freeing his arms. In the same moment her massive tongue quickly wrapped around him. Unlike her fingers it didn't trap his arms to his sides.

With his arms free for the first time Rick did the only thing he could think to do. He quickly reached out and grasped Lucy's lips as best he could. As his hands clinched her lips his entire being was shaken by a low moan. It was the same moan some people made when finding a meal particularly enjoyable. Whether Lucy was making it to taunt him or she really enjoyed how he tasted was irrelevant to him.

Regardless of how hard Rick held onto her lips Lucy was careful to draw him in at a pace of roughly a centimeter every second. The progress was steady so that he knew his efforts weren't truly helping him yet at the same time it gave him plenty of time to consider what was happening. As his hands made it a third of the way down her lips Lucy slowly began to close her mouth as well cutting off the light from the outside world.

It was clear to Albert that Lucy was enjoying herself. This did not horrify him but was rather what he expected. He trusted Lucy not to murder anyone but he knew that she would intentionally kill someone. Ultimately everyone was responsible for their own safety when interacting with Lucy. He knew Lucy was being entirely honest when she had said people were safe around her until they proved to be more pleasant dead then alive. At which time she had no kindness for them.

Once thing Albert wasn't certain Lucy was aware of though was that she had began to breathe more deeply. He wasn't surprised that she was enjoying herself but the level of enjoyment and the reaction it caused in her did surprise him. It had taken him a while to notice it but as Rick had been vanishing into Lucy's mouth her breasts had been swallowing him up due to her breathing patterns. He wasn't sure if this was intentional or not.

Due to the way that Lucy's tongue held him Rick was no longer able to kick his legs. His hands took up the fight now though even as he felt his grip on her lip failing. In response to this he quickly changed positions and placed his hands upon her teeth. Unlike her lips these where below his shoulders so that he was able to push upward rather then pull upward as he had been doing with her lip.

Unfortunately with his hands now on Lucy's teeth he was better able to feel her mouth closing in around him. This served to decrease the amount of fresh air coming into Lucy's mouth and while in some situations it would have been pleasant. Lucy's hot humid breath did nothing to comfort Rick as the only thing he could smell was her breath now and he seemed to be able to hear her throat muscles working.

When she had first begun Lucy had intended on shutting her mouth entirely once Rick was far enough in. As his head slipped beneath her lips though she changed her mind and instead chose to allow her mouth to remain open enough to allow him to see his confines but not enough for him to slip through. Her only regret was that she had not yet reached a scale great enough to allow her to hold someone within her mouth and prevent them from even being able to grasp her teeth. A few moments of knowing that her tongue was the only thing preventing him from sliding down her throat even as it pulled him downward had great appeal to her.

Fear prevented Rick from looking behind himself even as he felt Lucy's tongue unwind from around him ever so slowly. This was far from a moment of comfort as he felt Lucy's tongue working its way further up his body coating his entire being in her saliva. There was no hope of release as her tongue drifted around so that the tip of it actually blocked his vision. She had drew him back as far as she could with her tongue positioned as it had been now she had changed the position to push him further.

As Lucy pushed her tongue in front of Rick she felt his arms take hold of the massive muscle as best they could. She had forced his hands away from her teeth by moving her tongue in front of him and now it was the only thing he had to grasp. As he held her tongue she slowly curled it backwards sliding him over the surface before him until she felt him at the back of her throat.

In an attempt to stop his descent into Lucy's stomach Rick spread his legs to either side of her throat. Any hope of being able to span that gap was lost as he noticed every muscle around him flex and the opening widened behind him. A powerful vacuum gripped him seconds later and he found his legs pulled together by the suction and his entire body pulled down. He felt his legs squeezed from all sides right after.

It took careful control on Lucy's part but she didn't pull Rick down her throat all at once. Rather she pulled him in only partly and then slowly began to work her throat muscles so that he was being drawn deeper down her throat. As she was doing this she slowly shifted her head so that she was no longer looking up towards the sky and finally allowed her mouth to shut entirely. It was hard for her to repress a giggle as she felt Rick's legs pushing against the inside of her throat in an attempt to stop his fall or perhaps even climb out.

Despite the situation before them no one in the crowd said a word. No one wanted to draw Lucy's attention. A few had moved to take hold of their cell phones but no calls had been made. Part of them told them to make the call yet between the inaction of the group as a whole and the fear for their own survival a larger part and told them to remain quiet. Logic tended to tell them to remain quiet. There was nothing the police could do and making the call would serve no purpose other then to perhaps anger her.

The sound of Lucy's heart beating and muscles working was all around Rick as he was pulled down her throat. Her hot sticky saliva coated his entire body and attempts to brush it from his face were proven futile. As he was drawn down towards her stomach he could feel the heat increasing all around him as he journeyed further into Lucy's body.

A slight sigh escaped Lucy and she parted her lips and exhaled ever so slightly. When her mouth once again closed completely she wore a rather relieved smile as if she had just taken care of something very important. "I haven't had a chance to do that in a long time. I just love the way they tickle as they slide down my throat and it's wonderful to feel them struggling in my belly."

Upon hearing Lucy and realizing she was probably finished Albert finally called up to her. "Lucy, could I get a little help here?"

"Mm?" Upon glancing down at her chest Lucy's eyes widened slightly and amused giggle escaped her causing her to squeeze nearly every last bit of Albert. "When did that happen?"

"Ever since you started breathing heavy your breasts seem to have decided to eat me."

Once again Lucy's smile widened to reveal her teeth though only slightly. "I see. I guess they took advantage of my lack of focus and decided to horde you for themselves. Greedy ladies aren't they?" Reaching down into her cleavage Lucy parted her breasts ever so slightly and pulled half of Albert free of her cleavage.

For a moment Albert just stretched after Lucy freed his upper body. Having been held in the embrace of her cleavage for so long was far from unpleasant to him but it was nice to move his arms. "It's warm between there."

To this Lucy gave a quick nod and began to draw herself to a standing position. "I'm surprised you didn't tell me sooner. Weren't you worried you'd sink all the way down and not be able to call up to me?"

"Not really. I trust you after all."

"It makes me happy to hear that."

"Anyway, one thing I've learned about you is that regardless as to whether you're paying attention or not. You always seem to notice when someone you care about is in danger. I'm sure you would have noticed if I had actually begun to smother."

Instead of speaking right away Lucy placed a hand on either breasts and pressed down lightly upon the flesh. "My body does have a will of its own in many respects. Granted it's my foundational will so it is my will as well. I just wish that it was better at planning ahead."

"So are we done here?"

"Yep" Turning around Lucy focused her attention on the crowd for a moment. "Thanks for the cooperation and if you find yourselves in need of employment give my offices a ring." For a moment Lucy turned away from the crowd and looked up at the sky at the same time raising her right hand palm up in a sort of shrug. "Just tell the receptionist that I ate your employer so they know to give you extra attention."

It was hard for Albert not to laugh despite the situation. There was most assuredly a rotten streak to Lucy in that she liked to give people a little scare. She seemed to most enjoy it though during two situations. One was when she was paying someone back for a form of injustice and the other was when she was helping someone. "So did they ever ship anything for you?"

"Yeah occasionally, I didn't tend to trust them with anything that was fragile or dangerous. Now how about you and I go take care of one last thing?"

"Which is?"

************************************************************************

A sigh escaped Phillip as he made his way down stairs and out the front door. It was evening but he had been up late trying to get home last night. In the end he had ended up staying the night at Sandra's place. He had left after Lucy and Albert and had been made to regret it as given the traffic backup her little jog had caused and the length of the detour it would have taken several more hours to get home.

Fortunately Sandra' apartment had been much closer though it required him to drive out of the city some distance. He wasn't too upset over the event though as it had meant a night with his lady. "Hey Lucy, what brings you here?"

"Not a whole lot. I bet you were surprised last night."

To this Phillip gave a quick nod. "Yeah, I have to say I was. I turned around before I got to the wreck but it must have been a nasty one. Is Albert alright?"

"He's recovering nicely thanks to some special medical treatment."

"That's good. So I guess that guy had something to do with the wreck."

To this Lucy gave a quick nod. "Yes he did. Far more then I could simply let slide. Hey why did you shake your head like that?"

"Huh? Oh sorry I'm still waking up."

"It didn't look like it to me. I guess you found my behavior a little worrisome?"

For a moment Phillip was silent but at last a sigh escaped him. "I. I don't want to say too much. After all I don't know everything that you know and for you to do that I'm sure you must have had a good reason. Still, Lucy did you have to eat him like that? They are plenty of other ways to deal with someone that doesn't involve eating them."

To this Lucy gave a slight shrug. "I know but none that I find quite as enjoyable. I don't really see where the stigma comes from though. The human body is flesh just like any other animal we might eat and while other people would have to worry about contracting an illness. It seems unlikely that I'll catch anything. Dead is dead and regardless of the method used I would want him to suffer the same."

A sigh escaped Phillip as he shook his head. "I guess it's due to the fear that you'll come to see people as food."

"That is practical in regards to other humans but once again doesn't apply to me. After all if eating people was enough to change my view point on humans then my scale, power and intelligence would have already done that."

"Yeah that is true." As Phillip spoke he didn't bother mentioning that he felt they already had at times. It wouldn't have done him any good. "So what brings you here? Just checking on me?"

"Is Sandra awake right now? I want to speak to her as well."

"Huh? Oh yeah she's awake. I'll go inside and get her."

"Thanks." As Phillip made his way inside Lucy leaned to her side having already set down and began to look through the windows. She had no need to actually ask if Sandra was awake but it was a nice way of asking Phillip to go and get her.

Given that Phillip knew Sandra was also aware of the happenings of the last few hours. Unlike Phillip she wasn't quite as comfortable with Lucy however with the giantess right outside she couldn't think of a reason not to step out especially sense she knew Lucy could hear her. So Phillip didn't have to say much to get her to come outside. "Good morning Lucy."

"Good morning. Well Sandra I'm going to assume that Phillip or the news already told you what I've been up to for the last few hours."

To this Sandra gave a quick nod. "Yeah, you're receiving quite a lot of coverage."

"So do you two want to know what happened?"

In response Sandra gave a nod. "Yeah it would be nice. I have to say what I've heard so far isn't flattering."

"No it hasn't been but I'll fill them in on the details later. While Albert was driving home we were in a crash with a semi. The driver died in the wreck but during it I noticed that he never hit the breaks as well as the speed with which he was going. Suffice to say I was upset and found myself wondering what had happened. While I tended to Albert I did a quick check and found out the driver had a history of substance abuse. He had enough of a history that it left me curious as to how he retained his job.

So I decided to do a quick check and I have to say I wasn't happy. The driver had quite a record of making deliveries on time or ahead of schedule however his driving logs didn't make sense. Quite honestly he was on the road longer then he should have been. To make the situation even worse I took a look at the insurance policy they company had taken out on him."

After a moment of silence Sandra spoke up. "So the company was keeping him around because he made his deliveries and they planned to profit on the nearly inevitable outcome?"

"Yes. It's the only explanation that I could find. They were a few other things that led me to believe that his employer was at fault but quite honestly his history, driving logs and the insurance policy was enough for me. So as his employer was partly at fault for the incident I decided that he had to pay for what he had caused."

To this Phillip gave a quick nod. "I see. Yeah that took a true ass. At least you kept Albert safe and he didn't hit anyone else. Where is Albert anyway?"

"Oh he's right here." As she spoke Lucy scooted back then proceeded to lean forward parting her hair as she did so.

It took Phillip a moment to realize what was going on but the moment Albert came into view a slight chuckle escaped him. "I see. Moved up from the pocket didn't you?"

Fortunately for Albert he had grown use to being scene in such situations with Lucy so there was no real embarrassment. He had simply remained silent for lack of much to say. "Yeah I guess I have. I have to say though. I suspect this is where she's wanted to carry me most of the time I've been in her pocket."

An amused giggle escaped Lucy as she straitened back up. "Well that is partly correct but not entirely. Having you in my front pocket does have advantages. Now that you two know what happened there is just one more thing I need deal with."

Once again Phillip couldn't help but be a little confused. "Huh? What is that? It seems like you dealt with everyone responsible."

To this Lucy shook her head. "Nope I still have to deal with the two who are responsible for Albert and me even being there as well as for me only having a very small portion of myself there with which to protect Albert."

Sandra began to grow pale the moment she heard the words and unconsciously took a step back. "What do you mean?"

"If you hadn't convinced Phillip to invite me to Crystal Lake and if he hadn't given in Albert would have never been endangered. You even went out of your way to choose a location that I would have to reduce my size for. So the two of you are also responsible for what happened."

Despite what Lucy had just told them Phillip didn't feel overly concerned. He had known Lucy for a while and knew she tended to like to frighten people some. "Lucy, you can't be serious. There is no way we could have known something like this would happen and if we did we most assuredly wouldn't have done it. You can't hold us responsible for that crash."

"Sure I can. Don't worry though I'm not putting as much fault with you as I put with Rick so I won't make you suffer as much. I've been digesting Rick for a while now so my stomach is already pretty active. Neither of you should last more then a few minutes." As she finished speaking an amused giggle escaped Lucy and she reached down for both Phillip and Sandra.

This time around Albert was free to hear every word that had been said. Upon feeling Lucy leaning forward he glanced up at her. "You know that's a bit mean to scare them like that."

Upon seeing Lucy's massive hand reaching for them Sandra turned to Phillip expecting to see him running. Instead she found him standing there. Realizing that he was probably in shock she quickly slammed her shoulder into him causing him to stumble forward. "Run!"

The nudge from Sandra was all Phillip had required to begin running yet it was too late. He felt Lucy's massive fingers wrap around him squeezing him and Sandra to one another. As he was lifted into the air he heard Lucy address Albert. "I'm not joking Albert. These tasty little treats are going to go into my nice warm belly." As she finished speaking to Albert Lucy then looked towards Phillip and Sandra once again. "Oh and as for that favor Phillip. Taste good and be filling please."

Something about Lucy's motions and words struck Albert immediately as he came to doubt she was joking. In response to this he pressed down on her breasts as if trying to draw himself to a standing position. This was futile but he still remembered to speak. "Hold on Lucy! You can't just eat them over that!"

"Sure I can. They are both bite sized and delectable. Besides I really did enjoy feeling Rick struggling as he slid down my throat. I didn't realize it when I ate my cousin but it is really quite a thrill." As she was speaking Lucy shifted her grip slightly and proceeded to lift Phillip with her free hand.

It was clear to Albert that he wasn't the only one worried about the situation as he heard Sandra and Phillip screaming for Lucy to put them down. "This isn't right Lucy and you know it! They're our friends and have been for over a year now. Lucy, this isn't you. You'd never do this to someone you cared for!"

"Oh Albert, you clearly have no idea how good it felt to have a living person slide down my throat. I had to experience it for a second time to really think about it and notice how big it made me feel." As she was speaking Lucy moved the hand that held Sandra to her mouth and opened wide. She then lowered her into her mouth until she was up to her waste and closed her lips around her so she couldn't pull herself out.

It was impossible for Sandra to keep her tears from coming despite her efforts. As she felt Lucy lips sealing around her a horrified shriek escaped her. "Please stop!"

By now Albert was quite alarmed though he wasn't entirely certain of Lucy's intent just yet. Regardless of what her intent was even if she was joking around this had gone far enough in his opinion. "Lucy that is quite enough! You can take a joke too far and this quit being funny long ago. You're really worrying me."

Instead of commenting verbally Lucy began to lightly suck on Sandra slowly pulling the screaming finger into her mouth. As she was sucking Sandra into her mouth her tongue began to move over her legs slowly coating them with her saliva and letting Lucy taste her flesh. A slight hum caused Sandra's entire being to vibrate as Lucy moaned her approval of her taste.

By now Albert had ceased in his attempt to pull himself free of Lucy's breasts as it was clear that it wasn't going to happen. He didn't continue yelling though but rather took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "Sandra you have to stop screaming. She's just doing this to frighten you once you quit making it fun for her she'll stop."
