The spice of life.

A bright new day dawned in the foot-hills. The sun crept its way over the mountain pass, and flooded the valley with its warm glow. A thin ray of sunlight crept its way through a crack of rock, and poked a sleeping creature in the eye. It grunted, shifted, and opened its bloodshot eye. Momentarily blinded by the bright light, it cursed, and rolled over on its soft bed of furs. The creature had a greenish white color, and was reptilian in appearance. It looked like some kind of dracoform. And it was female. She yawned, and struggled to get out of her warm enclosure. Amy was her name, and she was a tiny anthro dragon. She had no wings, and she stood at a tiny 3ft in height.

“Oh that was a nice sleep. 24 hours will do you good! Hmm, I’m hungry… I wonder what’s for breakfast?”

The tiny dragoness shuffled over to the other side of the cave, using the ladder to get on top of the counter. Her parents were much larger than she was, so she needed special things to get around her giant environment. Seeing a scrap of paper on the counter, she sprinted over the giant table, and went to see what it was. It was a note from her parents.

It read:

Dear Amy,

We’ve gone out for a while. We will probably be gone for a few weeks. Sorry for not telling you sooner, but you were sleeping. We think you can take care of yourself while were gone, and we’ve left the credit card number, so you can buy yourself food. Have fun!

Amy smiled as she read the note, and began to dance around the tabletop.

“Yay! My parents are gone! Now I can eat what I like, watch TV all day, and play with my friends!”

She did not have many friends, as the other dragons did not like runts. Also, they tried there best not to hurt her, but all her friends were very much larger than she was. In total, she only had 3 friends, and they were all 30 times her size. Most of the time, all they did was watch TV together, seeing as any active playing would probably injure Amy. She decided it was time for some breakfast, and began the trek over to the fridge. Her parents had built a smaller fridge right beside hers, and it was scaled for her use. It was full of easy to make things. Like microwave dinners, eggs, ect. So she grabbed two microwave breakfasts, and threw them into the small microwave. When they heated, she grabbed a drink, and went to go watch TV. Her cartoons were on, so she settled in for a relaxing day.

A whole 3mins into her show, it was time for a commercial break.

“Aww, I hate commercials! Why can’t they just play my show?”

Just as she was loosing interest, and was about to change the channel, an interesting add came on. A large dragon was standing there, flexing for the screen.

“Are you a tiny dragon, living in a massively oversized cave? Were you born a runt? Do you just want to attract attention more? Well have we got something for you! The new max spice! This revolutionary new product, will aid you in building up your new form, and speed you on the way to success! Here’s how it works. See this tiny dragon here? Well he just started to eat the max spice, with every meal. This is him after only a weeks use!”

The screen shifted over to the same dragon, and he had doubled in size.

“Its just that easy! Here he is again, after two weeks, and three, four, ect.”

The dragon appeared to be getting larger, and more muscular with every week gone by.

“If you use this product, and train yourself properly, you’ll be a giant in no time flat! We are so sure that you will like our product, that we offer a full money back guarantee! If this does not give you the results you desire, just keep it, and we’ll refund your money! Call now! Supplies are limited!”

Once she had mopped up the drool, she scampered over to the phone.

“Oh boy, I have to get me some of that! Then I can play with my friends easier!”

Dialing the number on the TV, she waited for her turn to order. Finally getting a person to talk too, she ordered a dozen cases of the stuff. Thinking that it could not possibly work as good as it did on the TV. Giving them her parents credit card number, she went back to her TV shows.

The day passed, and so did the next. Her time was spent sleeping mostly, being too impatient to stay up and await delivery of her salvation. Finally, 5 days later, the delivery truck arrived.

“Package for a miss Amy!”

The delivery driver heard a squeaking sound, and looked down to see Amy waving her arms.

“I’m Amy! I’m Amy! Did you bring my order?”

Looking confused, the driver unloaded 12 large boxes, and asked for Amy to sign his forms. This done, he left in his truck. The boxes were larger than Amy was, and she began to think that she may have ordered too much.

“Oh well, at least I’ll be sure to get the results I wanted.”

She opened up one of the boxes, and took out the information booklet. It said exactly what the TV add had said, so she threw it away. Though she forgot to look at the other side. The other side contained disclaimers, warnings, dosage, ect. Like, how this stuff was meant for serious weight trainers, and how it was not meant to be used by slothly types. Also, it recommended only putting a tablespoon of spice into every meal. Not seeing any of this, Amy was in for a problem. A big problem.

Snatching one of the many bottles of spice from a box, she opened it, and downed the whole thing. It was salty, and left her very thirsty. Jogging over to the kitchen, she returned to her boxes with several bottles of pop. One went down her gullet right away, and so did the rest, as she consumed all the spice in one box. That was 2 months of spice all gone in 5 mins. Bloated, happy, and tired, the dragoness went back to watch TV.

She must have fallen asleep, because when she next looked around, the TV was displaying static.

“Oh, it must be late. I’d better go to bed properly.”

Something was wrong though. And she could not quite place her talon on it. Walking over to the boxes stacked at the entrance to the cave, she realized what the problem was. The spice had worked! The boxes were now only reaching up to her knees. She was 20ft tall now! And that was not the only thing different either. Her form had filled out some. She was more muscular, a little overweight, her tail and neck was longer, and her arms and legs had elongated.

“Wow, this stuff works fast! I’d better take more before I go to bed! Then I can play with my friends tomorrow!”

She eagerly tore into the next box, and consumed everything inside. Washing the spice down with more pop, she decided to go to bed. Curling up on her now small pile of furs, she fell asleep, thinking of getting even bigger.

And bigger she did get. As she snored the night away, more changes occurred. She gained more weight, ballooning outwards like she had been eating all week. Her tail and neck thickened up even more than before, and her whole body tripled in size. Laying there at 60ft tall, she was looking more like a real dragon. Her belly was huge, and everywhere else on her had a thick layer of fat. The spice stopped working, and she continued to sleep, unaware of her changes.

Morning came again, and again she was awakened by sun in the eyes. Stretching, scratching, and looking herself over, Amy quickly made her way to the kitchen, to have some breakfast. She was just barely tall enough to see the top of the counter, and that was a great thing in her mind. Making breakfast out of her parents fridge, she stuffed herself on meat, eggs, and potatoes. She noticed her fat belly, but did not care. It was her size that got her attention. Bloated off the food, she waddled over to her boxes, and had to reach down to get at them. Taking 3 boxes with her, and many bottles of her parents juice, she camped out in front of her parents TV for the day. Eating spice, drinking juice, watching movies, and getting bigger. The 3 boxes of spice worked their magic on Amy, turning her into a lovely, and very large lady dragon. She found she could no longer stand upright as she had before, and was happy. Now she looked like a real dragon. If slightly fatter than everyone else. Well, a lot fatter as a matter of fact. Her belly almost touched the ground as she walked around, and her whole body was backed with a very thick layer of blubber. The gaining of weight, and size was amusing her to no end. And standing at a lofty 150ft in height, she decided it was time to call her friends over to play.

“Hello? Is this drake? Hi! Its me Amy! Wanna come over to play? You do? Ok! Bring Sarah, and Trixy too ok? Ok fine! See you soon!”

She sat on the couch and waited for her friends to arrive. Man were they in for a surprise.

“Hi Amy! Were here! Where are you?”

They did not see her right away, but did notice a large white tail poking off the end of the couch. They all thought it must be Amy’s mom.

“Hi Amy’s mom! Can you tell us where Amy is?” “I’m right here!”

All three of them looked down, expecting to find their runty friend at their feet. They did not expect for Amy to get up off the couch, and loom over them.

“Hi guy’s! Look what happened to me! I had a growth spurt this week!”

They all nearly fainted.

“Holy shit Amy! You’ve huge! And you look like you have eggs with that belly!” Cried drake.

The other two nodded in agreement.

“Its not eggs! Its just too much food I guess. So what do you guys want to do?”

Seeing as Amy was now 50ft larger than they were, they could not readily come up with a plan of action.

“How about we go play in the field? All the other dragon’s want to play baseball.”

Amy was delighted. This was the first time in her life, that she was able to go any play any games.

“Ok, sounds like fun! Just fill me in on the rules ok?”

They all went over to the field where the others were setting up, and waited to be picked for teams. It was no surprise that everyone was startled to see Amy walk up, but it was a surprise that everyone wanted her on their team. After about 5mins of disputes, the teams were set, and the game began. It lasted for hours, and Amy and her team won. Tired, but amused with the day, Amy waddled her fat body home. Her friends were happy that she could join in the fun. Life was finally going her way.

“Oh today was so much fun! I’m going to eat until I explode to celebrate!”

She was nearly right. She cleared out her parents fridge, right down to the last apple. Eating all night sure proved entertaining, but it left her sore in the morning. She was so bloated, that she could barely drag herself around on the floor.

“Ow, I think I over did it. I want this bad feeling to go away! But what do I have to cure a sore stomach around here?”

Looking around the mammoth cave, she only saw one thing: the remaining 7 boxes of spice. A crafty plan formed in her head, and she tried to set the plan into motion. It took her several minuets to drag her belly over to the boxes, but she eventually managed.

“If I get bigger, my food will have more room, so my stomach won’t hurt!”

It seemed like a perfectly sound plan, and there was more than enough room in the cave for her at any size. Tearing open some boxes, she started swallow the jars of spice, as if they were tiny candies. She consumed all but 3 of the boxes, and hoped it worked fast. Washing the jars down only increased the pain in her stomach, but it eventually went away. She started to grow again. Another 10ft jumped on her in just a second, and her fat levels climbed steadily. More and more she reached towards the top of the cave, and found it was rapidly coming down to meet her. She was also starting to knock things out of her way, as her fat body spread out across the cave’s floor.

As she approached 200ft, she began to worry. The cave was only 400ft tall, and she did not look like she was stopping her growth any time soon. More and more thick blubber rolled onto her massive frame, and she began to take on a comical look. The cave was enormous, and so was she. There were some rivers inside the cave, but they were all below the huge slab of rock that her family lived on. There was also a small pool that they all swam in. She was happy that she was filling up the cave like she should, but also concerned that she might not be able to move around soon. More and more size came her way, and she embraced it lovingly. Her head was not growing any more, and was starting to look small in comparison to the rest of her ballooning body. Her thick skin was sagging over the floor, as it was so full of fat, but she did not care. She was quickly getting lost in the fun. She stared at herself in the pool, and giggled.

“Wow! Won’t mom and dad be surprised to see me when they get back home! I’m bigger than they are!”

She kept growing for a few minuets, and felt something cold on her tail. Swinging her exceptionally long neck around, she saw that her tail had grown clear off the end of the slab, and was now hanging in the river. The kitchen, beds, and other household items were squashed under her expanding flab, but she barely noticed. What she was paying attention too, was the cracking sound that was echoing off the caves walls. The sound kept getting louder and louder, as she kept getting bigger and bigger. With a mighty snap, the sides of the slab broke under her immense weight, and splashed down into the river. Amy tried to get up and run, but she could not stand. She was getting so fat, that her increased size could not even keep up. More and more the tons rolled on. Her belly was a giant sphere, and all her other parts were becoming round as well. Her neck and tail stretched out into infinity, and her head was still comically small compared to the rest of her body. Her long slim tail began to thicken up rapidly with fat, and soon only a small portion of it was not as huge as the rest of her. With a might heave, the rest of the shelf collapsed, and Amy went tumbling down into the cold river. She did not notice the temperature however, as all the fat was insulating her. While her body was rapidly taking up all the space in the cave, her tail was being pushed down one end of the underground river, and her head out the other. Daylight was approaching, and soon Amy’s head was outside the cave. In a panic, she decided to get rid of the boxes of spice, and ate them too. With all trace of the stuff now in her, she might just be able to convince her parents that it was a natural occurrence that their daughter was now bigger than the cave they lived in.

Her tail started to emerge out the other side of the mountain, and it also began to thicken again. Her neck was also pulling the same trick, and it served to firmly wedge Amy in place. Her body however, had filled the cave to the last pebble, and was still getting fatter. The pressure was beginning to hurt pour Amy, and she cried as the sharp rocks dug into her flesh. With a huge explosion, the whole mountain burst asunder, and Amy kept growing. Now that the pesky mountain was not in the way, she began to enjoy herself again. She knew damn fine that she could never convince her parents that nothing happened, but what were they going to do?

Her bloating form soon covered the entire area where the mountain used to be, and it was still getting bigger. Her flesh literally flowed over the country side, and Amy was enjoying every moment of it. The other dragon’s ran in fear as they saw the huge mass growing their way, and soon their houses were also pulled under the dragoness. Amy was looking around as best she could, and the sight of her hugeness was pleasing to her. She drank all the water around her, and started to eat the foliage. The spice was working overtime this time around, and her blimp of a body soon filled the entire bowl shaped valley. Her head and tail were the only things not inside the valley, but that was soon changing. Her entire body began to grow faster than the fat, and her arms and legs were soon thick, and strong enough to lift her off the ground. From head to tail, the dragoness was 30km long, and was still growing. She looked like a sphere, with a thick neck and tail. Her movement was still limited, but she could drag herself around. Drinking a large inland lake, she managed to sate her thirst, but not her newfound hunger. With a sudden lurch, she finally stopped growing. A giant in a giant world, her fat body could be seen from orbit. She thought she had overdone the spice, but found that she really did not care. There was not much to eat in the area, so she did her best to walk to the coast. At her size, even though the coast was a few hundred miles away, she still got there in 20mins. Wading into the sea, she caused flooding in all the coastal area’s around the world. The sea turned out to be a perfect place for her, as fat floats, and it was easier to swim, instead of walk. Taking a huge breath, she ducked her head underwater, and began to eat anything that moved. Fish of all sizes, sea weed, crustations, they all were sucked up into her mouth. Her feeding only made her fatter, and she fell asleep on the water. Massively bloated, insanely fat, and very very big, Amy had good dreams.

Amy’s parents arrived the next day, only to find that their cave was gone. They had no idea how a persons cave could just disappear. The scanned the valley, and everyone else’s caves were also missing. All the water, and plant life was gone too. The valley had become a wasteland. There was only a very very very very large pile of brown stinky stuff off to the side. They worried about their daughter, and began to fly around to look for her. They spotted giant footprints moving out of the valley, and decided to track them. They ended at the ocean, but pointed towards a large white island far out off the coast. They did not recall that island ever being there before, so they went for a look. The island appeared to be moving. Landing on the surface, they found that it was very soft, and squishy. Poking at the surface, they heard a distant laugh. A laugh that sounded familiar, and that was getting closer. Out of the clouds, came a big head, attached to a very fat neck. It was hard to describe, just how large this creature was. They realized, that they were standing on its back.

“Hi mom! Hi dad! How was your trip?”

They both palled a lighter shade of white when they realized that this massive monster was their daughter.

“Amy? Is that you? What the hell happened?” “Well mom, its like this. I kinda had a growth spurt! And I got really hungry, and ate everything.”

They did not look like they believed her story, but they did not want to anger such a large beast.

“Ok honey. But now that you’re this big, what are we going to do with you? Our cave’s gone!” “Well mom and dad, you could always build yourself another cave, on top of me! I’m going to stay in the water, so you can live here with me. I’ve got all the food I’ll ever want here, and fat floats. So I love that I’m this big!”

Her parents had no better idea’s, so the agreed. They spent the next month building a home for themselves, on the center of Amy’s back. She was so big, that they almost did not notice the slight curve of her round body. They spend their days walking around on their daughter, and talking to her. She eventually told them the truth about her transformation, and admitted to being careless.

“Its ok honey. We all make mistakes. Just yours was very big. Pardon the pun.” “You have a point dad. Maybe one day this stuff will wear off, but I’m fairly certain that it won’t.”

Amy became a legend in her land. Everyone wanted to see the biggest dragon in the world. Over the years, Amy continued to grow. She got bigger as she aged, and much much fatter. If that were possible. Amy was declared to be an island, and soon other dragon’s came to build their homes on the dragoness. She did not mind, as it meant more company. Centuries past, and Amy the island, became a continent. Her parents governed the city, and Amy only concerned herself with conversation, and her next meal. The times were good, and Amy would have only traded them, for a bigger body.

Even when the world eventually came to an end, Amy and her city survived. She was declared Planet Amy, and she floated around the galaxy, offering safe passage for all those that called her home. And a good home it was.

End.
