The dinning hall was a large, open plan room with a high thatched roof. The mahogany beams that held it up criss-crossed above them, a few thick, solid looking beams with smaller ones between them. From these smaller beams hung lights, currently switched off, but adding to the atmosphere with their wood enhanced designs. The room was lit by the sunlight that flowed in through the line of open slits that ran along the top of the walls. Thin, barely noticeable netting prevented the entry of the thousands of bugs outside into the fragrant room. 

A dozen or so square tabes were interspersed in the room, cramped into the small space. It was no surprise that most guests had opened to eat in the far larger outdoor area. But the guests of the tour group didn’t know about the later, and instead were turning up, one by one, to the row of pushed together taels that had been reserved for them. 

Becca was already seated, bent over a plate of waffles. She barely noticed as Emilie arrived, finding a seat between her and Marta. Emilie noticed that the middle square in their long table had a tiny one on top of it. Here were seated the tiny family, the Spanish boy, the Chinese girl and the tour guide. Reaching over, Emilie placed her friend down beside them.

“Welcome, welcome! I don’t think we’ve met, I’m Erica,” the guide said, rising from her little chair.

Anna froze as she found herself face to face with the woman from the bushes. She stared at the brunette with wide eyes but caught herself before Erica suspected anything. 

“HI, I’m Anna,”  she replied, “I was mostly with my friend Emilie yesterday, but I thought I would join my fellow small people.” If she had any chance of forgetting what she had heard, it had disappeared when she saw the woman. What had she been taking about? And what had she been talking in secret? She smiled, but knew that she had to tell Emilie about the whole thing. She finally felt like she could trust her friend again, and she would really need her help now, especially if there was even a small chance of ending her misery as a tiny person. 

“Come take a seat, the hotel’s put out a nice spread,” Erica invited.

She gestured for Anna to sit beside her and the redhead was more than happy to accept when she saw the food. Anna hadn’t realised it until her eyes came to rest on the assortment of cakes and buns, but she hadn’t had anything to eat in a days. Her stomach growled beneath her dress and she blushed as she took her seat. Reaching quickly for some sustenance. Only after her second roll did she take the time to look up at the other people around her. 

She noticed a middle-ages man’s eyes glance down as soon as her head rose, his gaze leaving her clumsily. The woman beside him, who must have been his wife gave him a disapproving look, but said nothing. Anna’s own eyes were drawn to a handsome young man sitting in front of her. He was talking to two identical blondes, but he made eye contact with Anna and gave her a smile. Now it was Anna’s turn to turn down her gaze as she blushed even further.

“Hey, it’s nice to meet you,” Javier said, cutting off Jessica, to the blonde’s annoyance, “I’m Javier. And you are?”

“Anna,” she replied, smiling back.

John felt an immense pressure leave him as the giantess collected herself and stood up. He first endured the added pressure of her rocking back before throwing herself onto her feet and standing from the low stool. Unfortunately, she stood with such haste, that the tiny man’s body didn’t have time to gently peel off of her rump. Instead, he felt his now flattened body ascend along with the humungous left mound, plastered against the inside of the bottom of her cheek. 

Jayne didn’t have any awareness of the tiny figure glued to the tight fabric of her pants, and started walking away from the stool. John’s head was turned to the side, so he managed to see the relative safety of the stool disappear, and be replaced with the harrowing drop to the ground, far below. His body was so light that the crosshatched imprints of the thin trousers were keeping him pressed against the warmth of the titan. He felt the thick flesh contract and move as if her ass alone was alive, shifting and contorting as she walked. He noticed too late that the other cheek was coming rapidly towards him. With a searing pain across his back, the other butt cheek crushed him, and his tiny body was drawn into her crack. As her right buttcheek rubbed him upwards, his body slid up with the bunching fabric. 

Jayne savoured the moment of comfort that had come from her trousers coming out of her buttcrack when she sat down, but now that she was walking, the trousers, along with her panties, were being sucked back into the crevice. She would have pulled them out, but knew that it was pointless, as they would only return momentarily. She had no idea that a single tug of her trousers might have saved John. Instead, she inadvertently left him to suffer and made a mental note to get larger trousers for her uniform. 

John was pulverised between the giantess’s enormous butt cheeks, an intangible insect amidst the boulders. Each step she took ripped the two layers of fabric in opposite directions and John felt his skin shearing as the scratchy fibres of the cloth tore him to shreds. He should have been thankful that he was alive, but the burning pain that quickly became constant, almost made him wish he weren’t so durable. 

Jayne continued her work in the Pearce’s room, dusting and polishing without a care in the world for the pathetic human trapped in her rump. John quickly lost all concept of direction and soon time, as the endless grinding continued and he remained trapped in the sweltering torture chamber of the woman’s backside.

‘Alright everyone! Can I get everyone’s attention please?’ Erica shouted, making a cylinder around her mouth with her hands. The volume of her voice was enough to get the attention of the other tiny people, but the larger member of her group didn’t hear her over the din of the dining room. For this, she had Andre.

‘Everyone listen up, now. We have a fun filled day today,’ he boomed, and that got everyone craning over to look and listen to Erica. 

She smiled up at him and began her address, ‘So, I hope everyone had a great night’s sleep last night! Rest and relaxation are the words of the day today!’

She had to shout to be heard by the larger guests, and even then their facial expressions communicated that they were struggling to hear her, so she redoubled her efforts, ‘THE HOTEL HAS AN EXCELLENT POOL AND WE HAVE SET UP A TAB AT THE POOLSIDE BAR FOR ALL OF YOU! HAVE AND FUN, AND REST UP BECAUSE TONIGHT, WE HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE: A NIGHT SAFARI!’

It seemed that her words had gotten through, because quiet chatter erupted along the table, and Erica smiled at her good work. She stepped down from the plate that she had climbed to make her announcement and was immediately approached by one of the guests.

‘Is the safari trip really safe?’ Donald demanded.

‘Oh, shut up! you don’t have to go if you’re going to ruin it!’ Allison scolded.

‘I can assure you that it is safe, sir,’ Erica replied, grinning, ‘But your wife is right, it is 100% optional.’

‘Thank you,’ Donald mumbled to her before turning to his wife, ‘Allison, I’m just trying to be responsible …’

‘Oh just can it, let’s get back to the room and change for the pool,’ she spat back. She angrily rang the bell that Erica had provided to the tiny people at breakfast. Andre heard it and called over a staff member, who ushered the family onto a tray to for transport. 

The table shook as Lynn pushed herself up, her arms rocking the surface as she stood. She too departed from the table, making beeline towards the exit, wiping the sweat from her face as she pictured the cooling dream of the swimming pool. She barged past her daughter on the way out, barely making eye contact. Ava sighed, knowing that her mom was still in her mood. She smiled weakly down at Aiden, sitting obediently in her palm, before talking to the table.

‘Ava, I was wondering when you would arrive!’ Marta greeted her jovially, ‘Your mother hardly said a word over breakfast. Is she okay?’

‘Oh … yeah, she’s fine, just having a rough time with the heat,’ Ava said. She lowered her brother towards the tiny table, where he eagerly hopped down at lunged for some well deserved breakfast pastries. The 16-year-old then took a seat opposite Marta, the cushion still warm from where her mom had sat. 

‘So what did we miss?’ she asked.

‘They just announced a night safari,’ the Spanish girl replied.

‘Ooh, that sounds fun,’ Ava perked up.

‘And even better, they said we have the day to relax by the pool to get ready for it.’

‘Wow, I can’t wait!’ Ava said. The sad part was that she really was excited to swim, but the bickering between her parents was wearing her down and she couldn’t muster the enthusiasm she had wanted. Marta noticed this, but said nothing, instead giving her a supportive smile, and changing the subject. 

‘You must try the waffles here, they are fantastic,’ Marta announced, ‘Come, let’s go and get some.’

She stood up, and Ava found herself doing the same as the older girl lead her towards the buffet tables. Li watched the two giantesses go, but the other tiny people were too enthralled in their own conversations to notice. Notably, Javier was deep in conversations with the redhead that had materialised, seemingly out of thin air. 

‘Wow, so your friend didn’t even ask you before inviting this Becca along?’ he asked with intrigue.

‘Yes, but it was all in the spirit of adventure, and I guess it wasn’t so bad,’ Anna tried to salvage her friend’s reputation after recounting many of her ordeals over the last few days. She had purposely left out the parts that made Emilie look bad, but Javier had quickly reached the conclusion that the giantess should have intervened far more than she had done. Anna thought it was sweet that he showed such empathy.

Javier was furious. He even glanced up as menacingly as he could at the enormous brunette that was busy eating a few yards away. He would then look back down at Anna and his eyes would change. He hadn’t intended to, but as a warm-blooded man, he couldn’t deny the fact that the red-head was a sight to behold. 

Her long, wavy hair fell free behind her, like a fiery cascade down the calming white and blue dress. She had a seductive face, with enchanting eyes and soft, inviting lips. Moreover, she had a gorgeous bosom, standing firm beneath the bust of her dress. Javier could only just stop his gaze from drifting down to her cleavage as he reminded himself to be polite. She even moved with a dancer’s grace, and her voice was a spring of sweet, melodic notes. For the first time in a while, Javier was hooked. 

‘Anyway, how about trying out this pool?’ Javier suggested, his mind wandering to less than innocent thoughts at the idea of seeing the gorgeous red-head in a swimsuit. 

‘Sure, I think we’ll just go and change,’ Anna smiled, She looked up at Emilie, trying to meet her gaze. She managed to get her attention and then walked towards her. Emilie had been quietly eating her breakfast, but now bent down to be able to hear her friend.

‘Should we head back and get ready for the pool?’ Anna asked.

‘Yeah, I’m just about finished eating,’ Emilie replied, then glanced over at Becca who was just finishing up her third plate of waffles. She gulped down the final morsel and let out a small, rumbling belch, before realising that the two girls were looking at her. She went red in the face as she remembers that she was in public, but tried to pass it off as a side-effect of the heat by fanning herself.

‘Sure, I’m ready to go too,’ she replied. Her belly struck the table as she stood up, and violently jerked the surface. Emilie’s hand shout out and caught Anna, smoothly picking her up. There were a few spills of food, but otherwise, everyone seemed to be alright. Becca didn’t wait to check and already had her back to the group. Anna waved a goodbye to Javier as she was carried away by her friend, the brunette following Becca out of the dining room.
