The Librarian (Part One) A librarian finds books on magic that change her life. by Mac The summer was working out perfectly. In fact, from where Mary Ende was sitting, her whole life looked pretty rosey. Mary had just graduated with a degree in Education with an emphasis in Library Science. Then, by some stroke of luck, she was hired by a small high school in San Diego to replace their outgoing librarian. She packed her few belongings into her old Datsun station wagon and headed for Southern Cal. Using an advance on her first month's pay, Mary found a tiny apartment building with four cute little apartments nestled together near San Diego State University. She also was issued a key to the school and toured the library. It was a mess. The last librarian had not done an awful lot in the past few years, looking forward to retirement, and the students had used and abused the facility fairly freely. And to top it off, there had been a recent shipment from the estate of a former student. Boxes and boxes of books that would have to be sorted through and added to the collection if useful. Mary knew that she was in for a lot of work over the next two months to be ready for the opening of school, but she was excited by the challenge and she got to work right away. The days passed quickly as Mary put in 10 to 12 hours each day. She would come home exhausted, but happy to be doing something she loved. Besides, she was new to the town and didn't have any social life. In fact, the only person she had met so far was the janitor at the school. And she was so busy that she didn't even talk to Mary except to say hello or good night. The only other person she saw with any regularity was her neighbor, but they had never even exchanged a greeting. And Mary did not exactly feel very 'neighborly' towards him as it was. Mary wasn't sure if her neighbor's name was 'Bill' or 'god'. Those seemed to be the names she heard most coming through the wall at all hours of the night. Unfortunately, Mary's bedroom and her neighbor's shared the same wall and all the noise from his bedroom made its way easily into hers. And there seemed to be no end to it. Sometimes the cries of joyous pleasure would keep her up until three o'clock and begin anew at seven. All Mary could hope for was quick nods between the apparently athletic love-making going on inches away from her. This gave her lots of time for reading, but over the days it built up an incredible resentment towards her unknown neighbor. Finally, one day in late June, Mary's resentment came to a head. As she was heading off for a day at the library, she saw that her car was being blocked by another car, parked askew in the driveway. That was the last straw! She knew from the noise the night before that Bill, or god, or whoever he was, was entertaining again. And this must be the bimbo's car! Mary plucked up every ounce of courage she had and stormed up to his door. She rang the doorbell and then knocked as loudly as she could. Instantly she regretted that last action as she felt a sharp sting of pain spread from her knuckles down her fingers. As the door opened, Mary adjusted her horn rimmed glasses on her narrow nose. "What!! What th' fuck's..." a huge young man bellowed as he tore open the door. He caught himself mid-sentence when he saw he was looking at a thin, meek looking woman, "Ahem ... I mean, what's wrong?" Mary stared in awe at Bill.. He was well over six feet tall and incredibly handsome. He was wearing only boxer shorts that barely hid the remains of a very large hard-on. His chest was so wide and thick that Mary had to fight an unconscious urge to reach out and stroke his hard pecs. Muscles swelled up in all of the right places. But his blond hair and blue eyes riveted her to the spot. All thought of why she was standing there totally escaped her. Mary opened her mouth to speak, but all that she could think of to say was, "Umm..hi! I'm your ... neighbor .." Just then a gorgeous young blonde woman walked up behind Bill. She was wearing only a short cropped t-shirt and tiny shorts. The shorts exposed her long, tanned and trim legs while the small top accentuated her ample breasts. "Oh, sorry. I guess that's my car that is blocking yours. I'll move it in just a sec. I've got to get going anyway, I've got an aerobics class." "But ..." Bill started looking confused and let down. Bill seemed to be a man of few words, Mary noted. Then her mouth went dry and her heart started pounding as she watched the young woman press her body up against Bill and stroked his chest. "I'll be back, lover.", she cooed into his ear while her hand played its way down his stomach and headed for his enlarging crotch, "I always finish what I start." Just as Bill reached for the woman bulbous boob, she pulled away, slipped on some tennis shoes and bounced out to her car. With a roar of the engine and a wave of her hand, she was off down the road leaving Mary and Bill speechless on his front step. "Well, nice to meet you ..." said Mary as she extended her hand. "Bill, Bill Mallory." Bill finally remembered some manners and shook Mary's hand. "Nice to meet you at last Mr. Mallory. I'm Mary Ende. Umm ... sorry about the interruption. I guess I better be going now." "Hmmm ... yeah, nice to meet you ma'am." replied Bill as he scratched his head. This was a very confusing morning he thought to himself. All that day at the library, Mary found it hard to concentrate on her work. She kept thinking of Bill, his magnificent chest, his eyes, his flat, hard stomach, his obviously large endowment. She had to keep shaking her head to remind herself that she just wasn't that guy's type. He obviously like them skinny and tan and hard, with, you know, 'big ones', which she definitely didn't have. For the umpteenth time, she looked at herself in the mirror that hung inside the workroom door. Skinny, she was, but as she smoothed her shirt down and turned sideways, there wasn't much change in the contour of her body from her neck to her waist. Can't do much about that, she mused to herself, outside of spending a fortune for plastic surgery. But maybe I could do something about these arms, she thought as she grabbed her toothpick thin upper arm. Not surprisingly, her hand was nearly able to circle her arm! Maybe if I worked out, it would help my chest, too, she reasoned. She decided to find a book on weight lifting and start tomorrow morning at the school gym. The next morning, armed with all the information she could glean from a 1973 book on weight training for women that she had found in her library, she arrived at the school gym at 6:30 not quite sure what to expect. It looked like she was alone, which suited her fine. She checked her list of exercises and looked again at the pictures in the book, then she put a couple of 10 pound weights on a bar and got ready to squat. Just lifting the small weight plates had almost wiped her out, how was she ever going to do this, she wondered. Mary shakily lifted the bar on to her shoulders and set her stance. Slowly she lowered herself with her butt sticking too far out in the back and all of the weight pushing her forwards. "Whoa, careful there!" came a woman's voice from somewhere behind Mary. Strong hands reached down and easily lifted the bar from Mary's shoulders, making her lose her balance completely. She sprawled forward on the floor. She turned around to see a woman in her early thirties casually holding the bar in one hand and offering her the other hand. "Sorry, about that," she said as she helped Mary to her feet, "I was just concerned that you would hurt yourself. You're new to lifting, eh?" "Well, yes," Mary blushed, "but I've read quite a bit about it." The strong woman looked down at the books that Mary had brought with her, "Yes, I see, but you know a lot has changed in weight training since the 70's." She smiled and reached out her hand, "My name's Rita Wilkes, I'm one of the P.E. teachers here." Mary took the offered hand and noted how firm her grip was, "I'm Mary Ende, the new librarian. Umm, isn't that kind of heavy?" She pointed to the bar that Rita was holding. Rita curled the bar with one hand. "Not really," she said as she studied the bar, "it only weighs about 45 pounds. I lift more than this all the time. As a matter of fact, I was just about to work out. Do you mind if I join you?" For the first time, Mary looked closely at the woman. She had straight brown hair that framed a pretty face with a square jaw. She stood an inch or two shorter than Mary's 5' 10" and seemed to have wide shoulders. She was wearing a light windbreaker and sweat pants, which she began stripping off after she racked the bar. "No, I don't mind ... I mean," Mary stammered, "I'd love some company. Fact is, I don't know much about this sort of stuff, and any ..." Mary lost her train of thought in mid-sentence. She just stared, open-mouthed at Rita. She wore a jogging bra on top that easily held her B-cup breasts, but strained to reach all the way around her wide back. It also showed off her flat, hard stomach muscles that danced and shifted while she stretched out. Below that, she had on loose shorts that were cut up high on the sides exposing long legs with large muscles that looked like they could lift a truck. As she reached her arms behind her head, big biceps popped out and pushed against equally large shoulders. "...any advice ... you'd want to give to me, I'd listen to! Good lord, Rita, I hope I don't sound forward, but, how did you get so big?" Rita continued stretching, "I've always been athletic, but I seriously got into weights about ten years ago when I was in college. I've been in a few local bodybuilding contests just for fun, but mostly I just like the feeling of power and strength it gives me. Plus, it helps me keep up with these kids. So I work out a little every day. Let's get started!" Rita worked with Mary for the next hour showing her some of the basic lifts and correct form. She wrote out a program for her that would help her get started without feeling like she was just spinning her wheels. They agreed to meet every weekday during the summer at the same time. Mary liked the feeling of tightness in her limbs and it did take her mind off of Bill for a while. However, the next morning, Mary was in agony. Never before had her arms, legs, chest, stomach, and butt hurt so much. Any movement at all was painful. If it hadn't been for the rhythmic pounding coming from the bedroom next door, she would have laid in bed all day. But she dragged herself down to the high school gym, more out of wanting to get out of the apartment than wanting to subject her body to another workout. "Are you a little bit stiff today?" was Rita's overly cheery greeting. "Yeah, maybe this isn't such a good idea." Mary feebly answered as she sat down grimacing. "It'll feel a lot better tomorrow, especially if we do another light workout today to keep those new-found muscles limbered up." "You're a slave driver!" Mary joked. "Nah, just a PE coach," responded Rita. "Now hit the floor and give me ten quick push-ups. And if I get any more lip from you, Ms. Ende, I'll have you running laps all period!" The two women laughed at the mock seriousness of her voice, and then got to work. Rita was right, Mary thought, the soreness did go away after the first few days. They had been working out for two weeks now, and her body felt better than ever. The two women's friendship had grown as well. They found a few things in common and enjoyed each other's company. Mary found out that although Rita dated a few guys, she was more than happy being single and not involved with one person. She had taken up the cello this summer and also spent a lot of time learning to use her new computer between remodelling her small cottage in the Kensington Park area of town. They even went out on the town a few times to see some of the sights around Sand Diego. Mary even had the library in pretty good shape. She was finally able to turn her attention to the pile of books that were donated from the estate of "Turner Hopkins", a 1924 graduate of the high school. Mary was amazed at the variety of books she found in the boxes. Some first print novels with signatures of the authors would make a nice display for Literature Awareness Month. But the chemistry and physics books were terribly out of date. Then she happened upon several books on magic. She knew that there would be an uproar by the parents if she put those on the shelves, so she tucked them into a box to be donated to Goodwill along with the science books. There were lots of books on far off lands and quite a few foreign language dictionaries. These were all so old that they weren't going to be of much use to her library. She decided to discard everything except the novels. It was nearly time for dinner, and Mary was closing things up. She would have the custodian take the boxes out in the morning. Suddenly, she caught sight of a leather bound journal in one of the boxes. Out of curiosity, she dusted it off and examined it. It was the personal journal of Turner Hopkins. Fascinated, she sat down to read some of it, to see who this man was. Time slipped by quickly as Mary read of Turner's exploits. She found herself so engrossed that she forgot all about dinner, and read on into the night. The journal told of Turner's world travels, about his interests in science, his search for knowledge, and finally how he had collected magic from all over the world. He had begun translating these books and had made some amazing discoveries. But then the journal ended. Her curiosity now totally aroused, Mary dug through the boxes to look for the books on magic. Finally, she found several books, written in different languages, that seemed to have recipes in them. One looked like it was Chinese, another in German or Norwegian, still others in Hebrew, Sanskrit, Mayan, and Old English. In the margins of some of these, she found Turner's translation notes. She could read some of his words, but most of it looked like gibberish to Mary. As she brushed the dust off the 'Booke of Spells', she said, "I wish I could understand all these different languages!" Slowly, she opened the book to a specific page as if her hand was being controlled by someone else. There on the page, in small, hard to read letters was a spell with this title: "to Understand alle Tongues." Mary turned on a desk lamp to see the words better. Tracing down the page she read out loud, "Native tongues from far and near, words I see and sounds I hear. Understanding all I hear and say, open all tongues to me today." Mary felt a queer chill run down her spine and she sat upright looking out into the dark of the vacant library. "That certainly was strange," she said out loud, "I must be getting tired, time to head for home." She closed the book and placed it on top of a book of Norse magic. Norse? Mary caught herself suddenly. How did I know that it says Norse on the cover? She quickly picked up the ancient text and opened it. To her amazement, she could read every word in it as if she had grown up reading Norwegian. She grabbed another book written in Hebrew. Somehow she instinctively knew to turn to what is usually the back cover and began reading the old script as though she were a rabbi. She had the same experience no matter what book she read. This was truly remarkable! She was totally absorbed by this new found power, reading book after book, the more ancient the better. But as suddenly as the gift appeared, it went away. She sat staring at Chinese characters written during the Ming Dynasty without a clue as to what they meant while a minute before she was reading them easily. Mary realized that the power of the spell only lasted about an hour, but in that hour she had leafed through most of Turner's old magic books. She had seen several spells and potions that had interested her and now she wanted to go back and try some of them. One of the notes that Turner had left in a margin seemed to suggest that spells had a tendency to wear off after a while, some longer than others. She would be more cautious next time. Mary shuffled through the books until she found the old English spellbook. She read the spell for understanding again. Again she felt the queer chill and she knew what she wanted to do. She took out the book of Norse magic and opened to a potion that she had read about before. It seems that this potion was used by Vikings before going into battle to build their courage. She had read tales of how small bands of Vikings would storm mighty castles taking on entire armies. If this potion worked for them, perhaps it was what she needed to give her the courage to approach men like Bill. She quickly jotted down the ingredients in English so she could read them again after the spell wore off. Then she went to a book of Hopi magic. She had seen a spell that was used to increase a woman's beauty in order to win the heart of a man. She wasn't sure how long this spell would last, or what it would do to her, so she decided to wait until she had drank the potion to use it. Again she wrote the directions down in English and copied the Hopi words as best she could, spelling them phonetically so she could pronounce the spell at the right time. Then, just to be on the safe side, she looked up a potion that she had been studying when the first spell wore off. It was a Chinese potion that, when added to another potion, would increase the effects of the first drink. Mary wasn't sure if it was meant specifically for one potion or not, but she thought it wouldn't hurt to add it to the mix. After she had gathered all of the information that she wanted, the spell of understanding wore off again. Mary packed away the books carefully in a back room of the library where it was obvious that no one had been in a long time. Then she closed up the library and wandered the halls of the school until she found the chemistry department. She used her master key to get inside, but found that all of the chemicals had been locked away for the summer. Ah well, she thought, maybe the Norwegian potion will have to wait, but I could start gathering the ingredients for the Chinese one. She closed everything up, walked out to her car, and drove downtown. It was late now, about ten o'clock, and she hated wandering around downtown San Diego at this hour of night, but she was looking for something very special. The recipe for the Chinese part of her 'cocktail' needed a special powder from a root that could only be found in a Chinese drug store. She had seen one in the Asian section of downtown near a restaurant that she and Rita had gone to. Mary got there just as an older gentleman was closing. He looked at her strangely when she asked for the powder, and then started making excuses in Chinese that he couldn't help her. Downcast, Mary turned to go, but then an idea hit her. She mumbled a couple of sentences to herself and then turned around to talk with the man again, but this time in perfect Chinese, exactly the same dialect that the old man spoke. "Please forgive my rudeness before, sir," Mary apologized to him in his native tongue. "It is quite all right," the astonished man replied, "How do you know Chinese?" "Oh, I pick up languages fairly quickly and I've read a few books," Mary said. "Are you sure that you don't have the powder that I seek?" "Perhaps ..." the old man studied her again, then he pulled out a large wooden box. Mary read the Chinese characters to herself "Magic Powders". She also read the names on the tiny pouches that he produced from the box. She recognized many names that she had seen in her book. Then he pulled out one that had the name that she was looking for. A smile broke across her face and he knew that she could not only speak his language but read it as well. "Be very careful with that, Miss," the old one warned as he handed it to Mary. "Don't worry, father, I will be." She paid for the powder and left the store. As Mary drove through downtown again, she was reminded about why she disliked the place so much. Small groups of tough looking characters stood talking on street corners and Navy men on shore leave stood around the x-rated movie houses and bars. This was not a safe place for a woman by herself. Suddenly she noticed a small store tucked away on a side street. It had a sign that read: Magic - supplies, costumes, books. Not quite sure if she was doing the right thing, Mary pulled her car around and parked near the store. She quickly locked her car and went in. The windows were boarded up so a person could not see in from the outside. The only light inside came from lamps around the small room set on various tables. Behind an old roll-top desk sat a woman reading a book and taking notes. She stopped her work and turned to face her visitor, peering over her reading glasses. "Awfully late to be wandering around these streets," she said as she sized up Mary. "Yes," Mary replied rather uncomfortably, "well, I saw your sign and I wondered ..." "I see you brought a shopping list," the older woman said, eyeing the paper that Mary nervously held in her hands. "Love? Power? Revenge? What brings you here tonight?" "Oh! No, none of those things." "No ... I see ... curiosity, exploration," the storekeeper said. "Be careful, Miss Ende, I see strange things ahead of you." "How ... how did you know my name? Do I know you?" "No, girl, but I can see many things when I focus just right and I tell you again to be careful with what you are planning. Gathering whatever courage she had, Mary thrust forward the list of ingredients she needed for the old Norse potion. "Do you have any of these items?" The woman looked over the list, "Yes ... yes I have everything you need, but I have never seen this combination before. Where does it come from, and if I may be so bold, what is it for?" "Umm ..." Mary became embarrassed talking about her experiences and her plans, "it's Norwegian, to bolster ... courage." "Strange," the woman continued as she collected the items, "it seems very simple, not something to be wary of. Perhaps I was wrong, it is late, and I'm tired. Please forgive me for speaking to you like that. I am just a foolish old woman. Here you are," she handed a sack to Mary, "good luck ... and be careful." Mary paid for the items and left the store worried about the woman's warnings. She hurried to her car. Just as she unlocked the door, a car filled with young men drove slowly past her. It was a big old gold Chevy with one red side panel. It came to stop just in front of her car and three large boys stepped out and began walking toward her. "Hey, mama," the smallest of the three said as he approached, "what's shakin'?" Mary's heart started pounding in her chest. She looked towards the shop, but one of the boys blocked her path. She began to open her door, but the small one pushed it closed. The third one rested his hands on the hood of her car and flexed his pecs which were very large and clearly visible under his tight tank top. "Wha ... what do you want?" was Mary's strained reply. She already had a pretty good idea what was on their little minds. It was a hot night, and they were looking for some diversion. "Oh, I don't know," the slimy little one said as he fingered Mary's blouse sleeve, "maybe we're just looking for a little fun, right guys?" "Yeah," said Pecs, staring at Mary's shaking body, "just something to liven things up tonight." Mary was about to scream for help, as useless as she knew it was, when she heard someone approaching from the rear. "Need any help, Miss?" a strong, young voice came from behind her. Mary spun around to see two Navy men walking toward her car. They were both pretty good size guys and made an impressive show in their uniforms, especially with the large MP band on their arms and their 45's in their holsters. The boys beat a quick retreat to the waiting car and roared off into the night. The MP's stayed around until Mary was safely in her car and back onto the main street. Mary had put on a good show in front of her rescuers, but as she drove away, she began to shake violently from fear. Shaking and crying, she drove on to her tiny apartment. But along the way her resolve grew. She never wanted to be that scared again. And those boys who stopped her were just the same age as the ones she would be teaching in a couple of months. Did she want to live in constant fear? No, she knew she could do something about it and that's just what she was going to do. She pulled up to her driveway to see it blocked by another car. The bimbo's back, she thought, as she angrily parked on the street and walked to her door. Too late to do anything now, but she'll get an earful in the morning. Mary slammed the door out of anger and stormed into the kitchen. She quickly organized all of the ingredients for the two potions, then took out the notes she had taken before. She mixed the potions separately in two glasses. "Now, do I drink them separately or do I mix them together?" she pondered as she held up the two liquids. She decided to recite the spell as she mixed the potions and then drink them down quickly. "Haa naa oisho," Mary began to intone the syllables written on her paper as she carefully mixed the two formulas, "taa ree kahnat uupeh ehste..." Mary looked carefully at the two different colored liquids as they intertwined and blended in the glass. As soon as she was through with the incantation, she placed the glass against her lips and drank as much of it that she could choke down. The mixture tasted like it had been strained through old sweat socks, but she managed to swallow all of it. She replaced the glass on the counter and grabbed hold of a nearby chair. She could practically feel the thick, musty liquid sliding down her throat and into her body. She began to feel dizzy and decided to lay on her sofa in the next room. She managed to stumble out of the kitchen before she collapsed on the floor. Mary was almost totally ignorant of magic. If she had spent even a little time watching the Aladdin cartoon show, she would have known that it's not a good idea to mix magics. Certain magics work against each other, cancelling each other out. Others work in combination, increasing the effects. Still others could have disastrous implications when combined. But no one has ever made a definitive study of this phenomenon, and so poor Mary was left on her floor at the whim of the magics that she had loosed on her body. [But let's get real - you didn't read this far just to have the heroine die from a magic overdose, did you? You know something good's going to happen, right? And if you've read any of these stories before, you're probably expecting some kind of cool muscle growth thing. Read on dear friend.] Suddenly the dizziness passed. Mary breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes. She wondered how she had gotten to the living room. Slowly, she sat up, but something wasn't right. She rubbed her aching head as she rose and walked into her bedroom. She figured that the potions and the spell hadn't worked after all she had gone through. She decided that what she really needed was rest. Then she looked at her self in her full length mirror. The first thing that struck her was that her glasses had come off in the fall, and yet she could see perfectly clearly for the first time in her life. She smiled at the thought of never needing those glasses again. Then Mary's mouth dropped open as she looked at one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen. She raised her hand to her mouth and realized that she was staring at herself. Her hair was longer, reaching past her shoulders and so full and shining. Her nose had a slightly different shape, smaller and somewhat up- turned. Her cheekbones were higher and accentuated by her square jaw. Her lips were full and perfectly formed. Mary looked below her long, graceful neck to her t-shirt that seemed to be bulging in places where it never had previously. She reached her hands up and felt a fullness that she had given up all hope of ever feeling. In exuberance, she nearly ripped the shirt off, freeing her gorgeous breasts. Mary was stunned by their shape and size. She hesitatingly touched her perfect globes and immediately intense feelings of pleasure radiated through her. They were so soft and yet firm enough that there was little sag in them. She turned slowly to one side and then the other examining her wondrous chest from every angle. She cupped her hands under them, surprised by their warmth and weight. "God, I hope I can find a bra big enough for these puppies!" she said quietly, as she moved her fingers toward her big nipples. Then she thought about 'god' next door. Won't he be surprised when he sees these babies. The thought of Bill ogling her tits hit her the same time her fingers reached her hardening nipples. Mary gave a soft cry and nearly doubled over in pleasure as she rubbed her fat nipples into the most incredible erection, each one extending a good inch straight out from her boobs and were nearly that size in width. Mary collected her wits and, hard though it was, released her tempting boob flesh. She tore through her dresser until she came up with her one-piece bathing suit. She hardly ever wore it in public because its clingy material just accentuated her flat chest. Now she was dying to try it on and maybe even hit the beach. She tugged the elastic material up her legs and over her waist. It clung to her gorgeous butt like a second skin. Then she pulled it up and over her now titanic tits. It barely made it, with her nipples poking prominently forward and lots of tit flesh spilling out the sides. The top of the suit, which had previously come to her neck, was now stretched down so low in front that the deep cleavage could be clearly seen. Just then, Mary heard some voices coming through the wall. Bill!! Her mind was instantly fixed on one thought: she had to get inside that man's shorts! She didn't care if he had another woman in his apartment, how could anyone compare with her? Her confidence soaring, she strode out her door and over to Bill's apartment. She noticed that the sun was just rising, and realized that she had been up all night without knowing it. She had been totally absorbed in what she was doing. Mary knocked loudly on Bill's door and waited for his sleepy response. Bill finally opened the door wearing boxers and a sleeveless t-shirt. "Hi, remember me, I'm your next-door neighbor ..." Mary started to say. Bill looked at Mary's face, barely recognizing her without her glasses, and said,"Oh shit! I'm sorry ... did we leave the car in your way again ..." His question trailed off as he finally noticed what Mary was wearing and how gorgeous her body looked today. How had he missed that body before? He blinked his eyes, trying desperately to clear his vision so that he could see this amazing woman clearer. Mary, noticing where Bill's eyes were staring, lifted her striking chest a little bit higher and turned lightly to the side so he could get an even better view of what she was offering. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I just had a sudden craving ... for eggs ... but I'm all out." She held her slender arms behind her back like a shy schoolgirl, which only accentuated her breasts more as they strained at the fabric of her swimsuit, "Would you happen to have any?" "Ummm ..." Bill fought hard to control his thoughts, "eggs ... I don't know, I'll ... I'll go see. I'll be right back, I mean, c'mon in, I mean, I'll go see." Bill disappeared into the apartment, stumbling over things as he made his way to the kitchen. Mary stepped into the apartment and looked around. It was a typical college student's apartment. Posters on the wall (mainly of leggy and busty models posing with bottles of beer), clothes flung around, empty pizza boxes in the trash, old rental furniture. One difference was a large free weight machine that could be used for squats, bench press, and cable exercises. And there were lots of weight plates and dumbbells scattered around. Also there were lots of pictures of football players and a San Diego State Aztecs football jersey hung up by them. Bill came back from the kitchen, "Uh, sorry, I don't have any eggs. Would you like some pizza?" He continued to survey the gorgeous woman in his apartment as she turned around inspecting the premises. Had she really been living next door to me all this time without me realizing what a babe she was, he thought to himself. Mary was over by the shrine to Aztec Football, "Is this you in all of these pictures?" "Uh, yeah," Bill held out his chest and walked over to where she was pointing, "I'm a linebacker for the Aztecs. That's me, number 55." Bill said as he proudly pointed to a picture of him making a crunching tackle. "I'm a fifth year senior this year, and I'm getting lots of attention by some of the pro scouts." Mary drifted over to the weight machine, "So you must work out all the time, you have to be pretty strong to make tackles like that, don't you?" "Yeah, I lift for about an hour a day." Bill stretched his arms behind his head and flexed them, obviously trying to impress Mary. "I'm one of the strongest guys on the team." "Really?" Mary stood behind the bar that was loaded down with weight plates on the bench rack, "I just started working out a few weeks ago. How much can you 'bench'?" Mary asked trying to sound interested. All she really wanted was to rip his boxers off and make wild, passionate love with him like she had heard him do so many times from the other side of the wall. "400" Bill replied, "That's what's on there now. Say, if you ever want to come over and join me ... for a workout, or if you've got any questions ..." "Bill!" Bill and Mary turned around to see his girlfriend standing at the door of the bedroom, holding a sheet to cover her. Even with a sheet around her, there was no denying her beauty and assets. The twin bulges on either side of her hands were testimony to her large breasts while the draping sheet curved gracefully over her small, sexy hips. Still she was no match for the knockout in the bathing suit that was making conversation with her boyfriend. "Bill? What's going on?" "Oh ... Jacquie! Uh, this is my neighbor ..." Bill tried in vain to remember her name. "Mary, Mary Ende," Mary stepped toward Jacquie and extended her hand, "Hi. I didn't mean to disturb you, but I was just looking to borrow some eggs from Bill." Jacquie felt a sudden, strange surge of emotion as she looked at Mary. Jealousy? Anger? No, decided a shocked Jacquie, she felt an almost instant attraction to this beautiful woman. Her nipples quickly grew harder as she momentarily fantasized about what this woman would look like naked. But then she just as quickly brought herself out of her reverie. "But I guess he doesn't have any," Mary said, embarrassed at being caught by the other woman. "So I suppose I'll just run down to the store ..." Mary's sentence was cut short as she was overcome by a strange sensation. She felt a certain warmth emanating from her chest. It went down her legs, out through her arms to her fingers, and across her back. She looked up at Bill and Jacquie but she was so overcome by the feelings that she was unable to say anything. She looked back at the large mirror that Bill had hung by his weights. Her mouth dropped open once again in shock and surprise. She could actually see her muscles growing! First, small bulges appeared in her forearms and calves. As they continued to grow, it looked like the muscle was spreading up her arms and legs. Thin blue veins became darker and thicker as the strange phenomenon went on. Soon, Mary and the others could see veins as thick as pencils protruding from her upper arms. As the magical growth kept on, her thighs began to practically balloon out as inch after inch of powerful muscle was added to them. Something else was ballooning as well. Bill, spellbound by the sight in front of him, became incredibly aroused and his quickly stiffening member gave silent testimony to it. As he unconsciously held himself and began slowly stroking his erection, his movements caught Jacquie's attention. She tore her eyes away from the astonishing vision of Mary growing, to stare open-mouthed at her boyfriend's reaction. "This is turning you on?" she asked her dumbfounded boyfriend. "Muscles on a woman turns you on? Five minutes ago I couldn't lick you back to life, now you're hard as a rock!" "Yeah, I guess," replied Bill sheepishly as he strained to keep his hands off his throbbing cock. "Well, you're sick!" Jacquie looked at him in horror. "Muscles on a woman just looks so ... so ..." she turned back towards Mary, "Oh my god!!" In the short while that they had turned away, Mary's growth had accelerated. Her expanding pecs had stretched the swimsuit to the breaking point. Her huge lats were forcing her arms out further and further while her arms themselves were growing thicker and thicker. With a quick breath, her bountiful boobs burst forth, ripping the suit down the middle all the way down to her hard, defined abs. Mary's quads had expanded to enormous size, each muscle bulging with power. But they still led down to her tiny knee joint giving them an even more monstrous look. Her calves were the size of grapefruits with the look of living steel. Her back had gotten so thick and muscular and it tapered down so quickly to her small waist, that it looked like she was growing wings. Mary was frightened, about to cry. She had never expected anything like this to happen. She had wanted to be attractive and confident, but now she was a .. she could hardly bring herself to think of it. She was some sort of freak. Sure she liked the way Rita's muscles looked, but compared to Rita, she was now a monster. Mary tenuously raised her left hand and began to tighten her muscle. Her biceps sprang to life, swelling her arm to nearly twice its original size. Then she squeezed it harder and it grew more, and more! She almost fainted from the size of the muscle she was staring at. She had never seen an arm that size, even in the weight training books she had looked through. But she had to admit, she was beginning to like it. It was big, and hard, and powerful. The longer she held her arm flexed, the more she liked what she saw. She wasn't a monster, she thought to herself. She was gorgeous! A quick glance at Bill confirmed her feeling about herself. Bill's raging hard-on was threatening to explode. He was shaking in lust as he stood there staring at Mary's magnificence. "You really do like my muscles, don't you Bill." it was more a statement than a question. Bill nodded his head in embarrassed agreement. Mary was puzzled. "Why? Jacquie said that it looks weird." "Umm .. I dunno," Bill finally managed to put a few syllables together, "I think you look hot! Like ... whoa! Like you could take on my whole football team. Can I ... can I ... feel 'em?" "You want to touch my muscles?" asked a disbelieving Mary. "Sure, c'mon baby, come here and feel these." She flexed both arms in an incredible double biceps pose. Then she turned to Jacquie and smiled a big radiant smile, "How about you? You still think that muscle on a woman is ugly?" Bill was touching her biceps, feeling their unbelievable hardness and size, running his hands over the high peaks and her bowling ball shoulders. "C'mon Jacquie," she purred, "come and feel what a real woman feels like." Jacquie was stunned by her boyfriends behavior. Why was he ogling this woman and what was so thrilling about touching her muscles? How could he think she was more attractive then herself? Jacquie stepped away from the muscle goddess and her worshipper. "All right then," said Mary as she lowered her arms and grabbed the edges of the torn swim suit, "I'll just come to you!" With a loud rip, Mary tore the stretchy material completely off her body and let it drop to the floor. Jacquie stared in amazement at the woman walking toward her. Every muscle was accentuated and flowing as she approached. Jacquie was hypnotized by her awesome body. Mary reached up and gently grasped Jacquie's wrists. With no effort at all, she pulled the woman's hands down and then behind her back. Jacquie had actually been struggling with every ounce of strength she had, but Mary was so incredibly powerful that it looked like she was offering no resistance at all. The sheet that Jacquie had, drifted to the floor revealing her beautiful body with her tight, toned muscles and big breasts. Her nipples were already fully engorged and sticking straight out towards Mary's perfectly formed and slightly larger nipples and boobs. Mary held Jacquie tightly against her as their large breasts compressed flat against each other. A slight flex of her pecs let Jacquie know that there was a lot more strength that Mary could be applying if she needed to. Jacquie had never before been held like this by any of her boyfriends, even Bill, who was by far the strongest of them all. Mary held both of Jacquie's wrists with her left hand as her right hand drifted up to the back of her neck. Then gently, but forcefully, Mary kissed Jacquie deeply and passionately. Jacquie had never been kissed like this either. Mary's soft, full lips pressed against Jacquie's with a gentleness that she had yet to experience from any lover. Then Mary's long, super strong tongue invaded Jacquie's mouth, wrapping around the smaller girl's tongue and exploring the depths of her mouth, thrusting slightly like a lover beginning to enter her. Meanwhile, Bill's heart was pounding along with his cock. Right before his eyes, these women were enacting some of his deepest, longest held sexual fantasies. He never realized it, but he had started lifting weights when he was 14 so he could meet buff girls and impress them while all the time secretly wishing that one would come along that could dominate him. But the inconsistencies that society had forced on him would not let him recognize these desires, so he kept on getting bigger and stronger, never being satisfied with any woman he met. He had almost started believing that he must be gay, until he saw this vision of womanly power in his own apartment. Mary finished her erotic kiss and then held her right arm up, flexing her huge biceps until it peaked majestically. She smiled again at Jacquie and released her wrists, still holding her against her bountiful boobs. "So, Jacquie, what do you think of my muscles now?" Jacquie tried to catch her breath after the best kiss she had ever had. Then she caught sight of the massive arm that was just holding her, flexed in all its glory in front of her face. She smiled a shy smile and began to stroke the mountain of muscle that was Mary's arm. "Awesome," was all she could say for the next few minutes. Then,"I want more ..." as she pressed her lips once more to Mary's. Mary responded by lifting the woman in her arms and walking toward the bedroom, kissing her all the while. "Hey! What about me?" said a perplexed Bill. The two women broke off their kiss and turned to see Bill standing in the living room with a huge, raging hard-on nearly ripping through his boxers. "I don't know," said Jacquie with a wink, "should we let him in, or is this club just for girls?" "Hmmm ... he might be able to contribute to the festivities," Mary joked back, "but he'll have to lose those shorts." Bill tore off his t-shirt and hopped after the women trying to drop his boxers. He caught up to them and tackled both of them onto the bed. For the next twenty minutes they explored each other's bodies with the emphasis on Mary's huge, rock hard muscles. Slowly they worked around until Jacquie was sitting on top of Mary's big tits while she rubbed the bulging mass of muscles in her arms and shoulders. Bill, still rock hard, inserted his member slowly into Mary's cunt while kneeling in front of her with her legs draped over his shoulders. Bill's hands roamed over the giant quads, with their deep valleys separating the voluminous muscles, and over her bulbous calves, their strength and size keeping him constantly on the verge of cumming. Mary lifted Jacquie by the butt and pulled her sweet sex over her mouth. Her newly strengthened tongue explored her nether regions with thrusts and twirls and nibbles like no ordinary lover could. Soon the smaller girl was bucking wildly in Mary's vice-like grasp. Bill was turned on even more at the sight of his girlfriend in such a state of erotic pleasure and he began to pump furiously deep inside Mary. Suddenly he felt a pressure on his big cock like someone's hand holding it, making it slow down. He realized that Mary was simply applying the slightest pressure with her super powered vaginal muscles. Mary lowered her legs around Bill's waist and pulled him deeper into her. Bill reacted by running his hands over her rippling abs and up to her ample boobs. From there he brought them up Jacquie's butt and across her back, finally cupping them under her bouncing boobs. He squeezed and played with her nipples adding to Jacquie's pleasurable torment. Finally, Jacquie screamed for god again and came like never before. Bill could hold back no longer and he came with her, shooting his load of sperm deep into Mary's belly. Exhausted, Jacquie collapsed on the bed next to Mary and began to slowly fondle her own breasts, then Mary's. Bill fell backwards in a lump at the foot of the bed, trying to catch his breath. Mary reveled in her new strength and how she had just made love to these two sex machines at the same time - and outlasted both of them. The only problem was that she was finished yet! She sat up and took Bill's flagging member in her mighty hand, "C'mon lover, don't poop out on me yet. I need that hot rod of yours just one more time." Bill tried to speak, but it was obvious that he was drained, "No ... more ..." "Then I guess I'll just have to take matters into my own hands." and with that Mary scooped Bill up in her hands like a rag doll. With one hand on his chest and one on his thighs, she began bench pressing him. Every time he came down, Mary would lick his cock or take it fully into her mouth. Every time she pushed him up her arms grew bigger and bigger. Bill reached down and felt her tremendous triceps bulging, even though he knew that she was hardly even getting warmed up with his 250 pounds. But once more his manhood began to react to her muscular might and her expert tongue. Soon he was hard and ready for action. Mary set him back down at the foot of the bed and then got on all fours, straddling Jacquie. "Feel those glutes, baby," she told Bill as she wiggled her rear at him, "ever seen anything like that before?" Bill grabbed her perfect butt and started to rub his extended penis between her strong thighs. Slowly he worked his way into her sex again. "Yes! Oh yes, Bill. Grab me hard, fuck me hard!" Mary cried out as Bill began to speed up his rhythmic pumping. Mary thrust her boobs out as she arched her back. Jacquie took advantage of the situation by grabbing hold of one of Mary's fat nipples with her mouth. She sucked and flicked the nipple until it was bright red and bulging even larger, then she would do the same to the other as she continued to stimulate the first with her fingers. Back and forth she continued while Bill was frantically pumping in the rear. Mary was nearing a state of complete ecstasy. Slowly, Jacquie noticed a small drop of liquid forming at both of Mary's nipples, almost like milk but golden colored. Jacquie licked the drops down like a cat licking up milk. She rolled them around in her mouth for a bit. Whatever the liquid was, it tasted sweet, but it went down like fire. Jacquie could feel the warmth of it spreading down her throat and then to her surprise, the warmth kept on spreading all through her body. Finally Mary clenched every muscle in her body and shook as her entire body was overcome by her orgasm. Bill orgasmed again, even though there was little life left in him and collapsed again, this time on Mary's back. Mary's arms began to sag and tremble from exhaustion. She went down to her elbows and then finally relaxed completely, half on top of Jacquie. Jacquie had felt Bill's weight on top of her before after most of their love making sessions. She usually put up with it and rolled him off when she could. But now she had this giantess on her as well as Bill, and she must weigh as much as him if not more. She decided that she needed to get out from under them and get out now! Jacquie put her free hand under Mary's thigh while her trapped hand was about square in the middle of her chest. Without even thinking if she were strong enough to lift these two, she began to push. Slowly the two bodies began to rise off of her. She couldn't believe what was happening! Suddenly she felt a burst of strength and she straightened her arms. She had just lifted more than 500 pounds! Then she plopped them onto the floor. "Hey! What was that for?" asked a befuddled Bill "Did you see what I just did?" asked an excited Jacquie as she bounced up from the bed. "I lifted both of you off of me, and I felt like I could do it again!" She held her arms up in a double biceps pose. Small, but well defined biceps rose from her arms. "How 'bout that mister football player? Can you bench 500 pounds?" "Your muscle seems to have grown some," said Mary as she studied Jacquie's pose, "but not very much. How did you do that? And why did it happen?" "Aw, she just got some good leverage and we fell off." Bill tried to explain. "Good leverage, eh? Care to arm wrestle then? Put your muscle where your mouth is?" taunted Jacquie. "Jacquie .." Bill began to protest, but Jacquie would not wait. She grabbed him by the wrist and led him into the kitchen, Bill feigning to struggle all the way. Finally she sat him down and she sat across from him. They grasped hands and waited. "Mary, you ref this. Tell us when to go." Jacquie told her. Mary made sure that everything was set then said, "GO!" At first, Jacquie pushed Bill's hand down a few inches, then he caught her and pushed back to center. For a while they sat there pushing against each other, Bill's big arm growing bigger and hotter all the time. Jacquie's small bicep swelled to its new size and stayed there. Suddenly Bill grasped the table and really began to pour it on. He had Jacquie's hand half way down, when he looked at her. She looked relaxed, even smiling. Then without warning, Jacquie forced their hands back to the center and then down the other side. "Leverage, eh?" smiled Jacquie as she savored the last seconds of their match. Then she put Bill's hand down decisively and kept it there for a few extra seconds, just to drive the point home. "How ... holy shit!" Bill stammered. "Let's try some weights now." Jacquie sprung up from the table, her breasts bouncing lightly as she walked over to the weight bench. "How much did you say was on here? 400 pounds?" She settled in under the big bar. "Wonder if I can do this?" she said as she grasped the thick bar. "Wait!" Bill rushed over to the bench. "You might hurt ..." He never got a chance to finish as Jacquie almost effortlessly lifted the bar from the rack. She smoothly guided the weight down until it touched her marvelous tits and then pushed it quickly back up. She repeated the feat nine more times before she racked the weight again. All Bill could do was stand there with his mouth hanging open. "Seems on the light side," Jacquie said as she sat up, "do you have any more weight we can put on?" She looked around and spotted some large plates. She easily lifted them and placed them on the bar, bring the weight to 700 pounds. She settled under the bar again and lifted it. "Yeah, this is more like it," she said as she lowered the bar again. She pumped out six reps before she racked it again. "Wow! That was great! I really felt it that time. Maybe I could do more reps next time." "Jacquie! What you just did is impossible." Bill was going ballistic. "Nobody your size has ever lifted that much weight before. Nobody my size has either, for that matter. You've got to be at least twice as strong as I am, and I'm the strongest guy on the team! What am I going to tell the guys, that my girlfriend could be the starting middle linebacker for the Chargers?" Mary grabbed Bill by the waist and lifted him up to the ceiling, "Get a hold of yourself lover. You've still got one of the prettiest girls in the world. She just happens to be as strong as four men. But if you behave yourself, you shouldn't have any trouble, right Jacquie?" "That's right," Jacquie agreed. "Besides, I saw today how you totally like strong women," Jacquie took Bill from Mary and slowly lowered him, then held him tightly against her big boobs, shaking her long blond hair behind her, "and baby, you've got one of the strongest now!" Bill struggled uselessly to break Jacquie's grip, then gave in and began to love the feeling of powerful femininity that he felt in her arms. "But I still don't understand what happened?" "Maybe it was that strange liquid that I 'nursed' out of Mary's tits." Jacquie looked to Mary, "It seemed to warm me all over and it was right before I lifted the two of you." "Could be, see I drank a magic potion last night," explained Mary, "but nothing like this was supposed to happen. But I think I know who could give me some answers." Mary looked over at the weight bench and remembered her workout date with Rita. "Oh my god, I've got to go!" Then she remembered that none of her clothes fit anymore. "Could I borrow some clothes, Bill? The only thing that fit me is not exactly presentable right now." "Uh, sure, try one of my jerseys," Bill led her back to the bedroom, "and I've got some sweats that might fit." Mary was soon outfitted in the largest clothes Bill could find. His football jersey that would normally fit over his shoulder pads, was a little tight around Mary's shoulders and chest, but it would have to do until she had a chance to go shopping. She also borrowed a large pair of shorts that were much too big around the waist, but managed to stretch over her enormous thighs. Mary gave them both a big kiss and left for her apartment. She was surprised at the passion and strength that Jacquie put into her kiss. She smiled as she thought about all that Bill had to work through as far as his fantasies about women and his place in the world. But she knew that Jacquie was just the woman now to help him. Inside her apartment, Mary gathered her things together. She was still puzzled over the events that had taken place that morning. The potion was for courage, yet she had gained tremendous strength. She decided to visit the magic shop later and try to get some answers from the woman there. She grabbed her notes, her keys, threw Bill's sweats in her gym bag, and flew to her car. Every movement seems so effortless now, she thought, like I'm practically weightless. On her way to the car, she again noticed that Jacquie's car was blocking the driveway. Mary stopped and looked back towards Bill's door. They were going to be busy for quite some time this morning, and some of the other neighbors might need to get out. So Mary decided to take matters into her own powerful hands. Dropping her bag, she approached the small car. She placed her hands under the rear bumper and began to lift. She had expected to be able to lift the car enough to move it slightly so that it was out of the way. As she began lifting the car rose slowly but steadily higher and higher. When it got to the level of her chest, Mary switched her grip and began to push up until it was soon at arm's length above her head. Mary couldn't believe how light this car was! What was it made out of, tin foil? She held the car aloft with one hand while she placed her other hand towards the middle of the undercarriage. Her big triceps bulged from the super human effort and her chest and back were practically bursting through the huge jersey. She balanced the weight and then pressed it a couple of times. She knew that the car must weigh at least 4000 pounds, but to her astonishment it felt more like 20 pounds. She stepped over to an empty parking space and gently set Jacquie's car down. Dusting off her hands, she did some quick calculations. She realized that her strength had increased almost 200 fold!! She couldn't wait to get to the gym and show off for Rita. Then she wondered how Rita would like a dose of her special 'milk' like Jacquie had earlier. The thought of a super charged Rita made Mary's nipples grow hard. She picked up her bag and drove to the school as quickly as possible. The End of Part One
