Now that that's out of the way, on with the show.
Chapter 1
"All I'm saying is if it's good enough for shapes, it's good enough for
numbers!"
Julie strode through The Mall while Emma bounced along beside her,
telling her close to the stupidest thing she's ever heard.
"That's not how it works though, it would just be confusing as hell."
The pair of girls wandered past the rows of shops as they had done
dozens of times when there was nothing to do on a Sunday. The smallish
shopping center wasn't as much of a mall as it was a collection of shops
too poor to afford leasing anything else. But as much as it wasn't a
mall, the two insisted on calling it that due to it being the only mall-
like structure in several hundred miles. The Mall. Singular.
The whole place was bright and well lit, which seemed to be inevitable
as almost everything was outside. There were a few tarps set up to hang
between the hallways of shops to provide a faux ceiling for shade, but
they never helped much with the heat.
"How!? How is it confusing. If you have a pentagon, then a hexagon,
hepta, octo-nona-deca-eccetera, then why can't I have a pentillion
dollars? It should go million, as in Mono, Billion as in two, trillion,
*quad*rillion, pentillion and so on. And don't even get me STARTED on
the word square. It's a *quadrangle*," Emma nudged Julie's shoulder with
hers, too lazy to take her hands out of the pockets of her shorts.
Emma was a little thing, about a head smaller than her friend, who stood
at around 5'9". Her legs were so short that she had to take a step and a
half for every one that Julie did. Her impish features tied into her
shortness, big blue eyes and a cute little turned up nose. She always
had to look up at Julie through her straight blond hair, which she
pretty much refused to pull out of her face.
"Quadrangle," Julie repeated, chuckling a little as she returned the
shoulder nudge. "Why not just go all out and call it a quadrellagram?"
Julie laughed, adding, "But I can see how someone with no curves is so
annoyed by shapes."
"Bitch," Emma snickered, finally pulling her hand out of her pocket to
give Julie a playful punch in the arm. Julie didn't exactly have that
feminine "hourglass" that all the magazines rave on about, but standing
next Emma's twiggy figure made her look like a particular someone from
Willendorf. Julie had wavy brown hair that ended a little below the hood
of her grey hoodie hanging behind her neck, which she persisted to wear
even in the current weather. She had a straight nose in contrast to
Emma's, and her green eyes sparkled like lake water in the blistering
sun.
"Hey, check it!" Emma broke the monotony of their stroll with the
outburst, tugging on Julies sleeve and pointing at some store. "'Nother
new shop! We're going in there! We are *so* going in there!"
At The Mall shops came and went like bugs around a streetlamp, a new one
cropping up for every one that closed down. It wasn't uncommon to see a
new shop that you kind of thought might be interesting if it got
popular, only to see it gone a week later because nobody went in, which
was kind of your fault too since everyone else had that same thought.
However, this particular shop that Emma was pointing at with her
outstretched arm was different.
Julie
It felt like Emma was damn near about to shake my arm off.
"Quit! What is it?" I half-shout at her, shrugging her off my sleeve and
turning towards where she was pointing.
As she had so plainly stated, there was a new shop. This one stood out
more than the usual new ones, and it wasn't hard to figure out why. The
whole front of the place was painted black, and instead of whatever
glass entrance or revolving door all the other shops had, this place's
entryway was just a bare archway, with a thick wall of beads hanging
from the top of it like some hippies' room. You couldn't see much from
between them either, just black wall and dim new-store insides. It stood
out comically, crammed between Kitty's Cupcakes and some Dippin Dots
knock-off called Little Ice Cream Balls.
Wonder why that place never got popular.
Emma walked past me and stared up at the sign, which was a trip all by
itself without the whole "emo kid's bedroom" vibe they were throwing
off. It was this big wooden thing that scrawled across the top of the
entryway-beads, carved to make it look like a scroll. On the paper
between the two scroll-roller things it read "Ye Olde Magic Shoppe".
You'd think if they were going the whole old English route they'd have
at least spelled it like "Magick" or something.
"Freaky," Emma said to herself without looking away from the strange
sign. "Huh. You'd think they'd have spelled Magic the other way." God I
love Emma. This is why we're friends, she gets me. Without another word
she disappears behind the curtain of beads, clattering behind her as
they retook their places in the doorframe. I took one last glance at the
sign before going in after her, making a neat part in the beads with my
hands and pulling them to either side.
The first thing that hit me was the smell, like chocolate chip cookies
and some kind of exotic spice mixed together. The next was a blast of
cold air in my face as I cleared the wall of beads, and Emma inelegantly
flapping her shirt against her chest.
"Glorious air conditioning!" Emma shouted to the ceiling. "I'd be
wondering how they keep all the cold in here if I wasn't so grateful."
"It's part of the magic." We both jumped a little as a girl's voice
sounded from somewhere in the back of the shop. That's when I took my
first look around. From what I could see the place went much further
back than it seemed from out front. It was set up like a library, every
wall covered from ceiling to floor in shelves, but rather than books,
they were filled up with the most random crap you could imagine. It was
like a tornado tore through a neighborhood on garage sale day and dumped
it all here.
The shop girl popped out from behind one of the shelves and approached
us, pulling her straight black hair out of her eyes. Half of her head
was shaved, and she had a pierced septum with a little silver nose-ring.
"Hey guys! Welcome! Feel free to look around or whatever." She swung her
weight around like someone who knew how to use their curves. And curves
she had. With the tube top and skin-tight black jeans she was rocking I
felt my self-esteem drop a few points just looking at her.
"Uh, thanks! We will," I responded dumbly. At her say so Emma had
wandered off without saying a word to go lose herself in one of the
shelves low enough for her to reach. For a moment I looked around at the
shelves and shelves of stuff before realizing that I still didn't
exactly know what they were even supposed to sell. She must have noticed
something from the look on my face.
"I could... show you around a little? If that would start you off?" God
her voice was cute. I caught myself thinking that and shook my head a
little before responding.
"Um, sure. What exactly do you sell? Like I know, 'Magic stuff,' but
*really*."
She didn't seem put-off by the question at all, "No, that's about right!
Magic stuff. Go ahead." She waved her arm to one side of the shop,
opposite of where Emma had wandered. "Pick a shelf and hold something
up. I'll tell you what it does."
Okay, she clearly buys whatever it is she's selling. I walked up to one
of the shelves and zoomed in on a little tray with a bunch of knick
knacks and a sticky note on the side that read "2 for a dollar."
That made me chuckle. I gestured to the price. "Rough economy for a
magic shop?"
"We do quite alright. Those though," she glanced at the little bargain
bin, "not the most useful."
I scanned my eyes over it again. A yo-yo, a mood ring, a single die, a
Chinese finger trap, a tube of lip-stick, and a whole lot of other
miscellaneous objects, all sitting jumbled up together in the silver
tray. I picked up the die and looked at her. "Okay, so on a scale of 1
to *really* magical...?"
She looked at the dice. "Moderately. Around a 2. It technically works."
She shrugs.
I look back at it, then toss it back onto the tray. It comes up 1.
"Where exactly does the magic come in?"
She looks at the result, chuckles a bit, then answers, "It's supposed to
predict how many times you're going to get off for the rest of the
week."
I stare down at the little cube. "Heh. Cute." I pick it back up and drop
it again. Another 1. And another.
Who would make a loaded dice that only lands on 1? "Well what exactly is
wrong with it?"
She strides over next to me and picks it up. Her perfume sneaks into my
nose, a summer breeze. The room feels a little warmer.
"It only goes up to 6." She drops the dice, but instead of landing
properly it jolts when it hits the tray, again and again like a jumping
bean, never sitting still. It finally stops when she slams her hand down
on top of it. "Not very useful for more... active people."
At this point I'm trying to figure out how she got it to jump around
like that. Remote control in her pocket? Heat sensor? A little
complicated for such a small gag. The shop-girl nudges her head towards
the tray again. I take the hint and pick up another knick knack, the
mood ring, the mood of the day apparently whatever dark red is supposed
to mean. I slip it on my finger, and it just barely manages to fit. "So
what's wrong with the mood ring? Does it guess wrong or something?"
A mischievous smile lights up on her face and she leans in closer,
giving me another breath of her scent. "No, it's just stuck on one
mood." She takes my hand softly and brings it up to her face. She
breathes a word into the ring, "*Horny*"
A wave of warmth suffuses my hand and shoots down my arm, coursing
through me. I can feel my face go red as the wave makes its way under my
jeans, starting me up. "Oh god," I let out, not meaning to. It was too
much. The *need* was there. The need I only ever felt when I was alone
on a Friday night. It was burning through me, and it was getting hard to
breathe. I was just about to move my hands down to take care of it when
she pulled the ring off my finger. The room jolted back into place
around me and I realized what I was about to do. My face went even
redder.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Super unprofessional." The tone of
her voice implied that she didn't mean a word of it.
"I don't- How did you- What was-" My head was spinning as the heat left
me, replaced by the heat of embarrassment.
"Magic~" she said in a little sing-song, cutting off my hopeless
babbling. You could hear the smile in her voice. She dropped the little
red ring back on the tray with a clatter.
I paused. That was too weird. I looked back down at the small
arrangement of objects, noticing a trend.
"Exactly what *kind* of magic did you say you sell...?"
I swear I saw a small spark of something flash behind her brown eyes.
"The fun kind!"
Before speaking again she adjusted her top, her boobs jiggling into a
more comfortable position. God *damn* those tits. That shit ain't fair.
Someone must have broken the mold after she was finished, 'cause people
would still be waging war over it. A little bit of the red returned to
my face as she noticed me *noticing* her, but she just smiled,
apparently liking the attention.
"...Shall we continue?"
Emma
I figured I'd explore a little and let the two titty monsters have their
chat. I wanted to see what this place was really about. Julie didn't
really have much more than most girls, probably like a B cup or
something, but since she liked to tease me so much about how little *I*
had; Titty monster. That other girl was something else though, like
someone pranked god and his salt-shaker full of hotness had the cap fall
off while mixing her ingredients. Rock on sexy shop-girl.
I meandered between the rows of "magical" junk, piled high on the
shelves all the way up to the ceiling.
The atmosphere of the place was growing on me. Like at first I thought
it was trying too hard to be all super-edgy like every teenager you see
walking around covered in Hot Topic crap, but it was starting to feel
more real. More genuine.
As I approached one of the shelves I immediately realized that this
place was constructed for freakish giants. I could only reach the first
two levels, maybe stuff on the edge of the third if I stood on my tippy
toes. Fucking tall people. Still, there was plenty of magical(tm) stuff
I could reach to mess around with.
Now let's see here... A lamp with no shade, a pair of bifocals, a glow
stick, a thong, a bowl of unmarked candy, a box of condoms, a
ridiculously large bra... Literally a *bowl* of dildos... In fact it
became increasingly obvious that most of the stuff was kinky junk, and
it just goes on and on in every direction.
"So *that's* what kind of store this is! Heh, J's totally gonna freak
out," I said to the empty hall of not-empty shelves. I poke through the
random items, now and then thinking how silly it would be to actually
buy something. "Oh hello! What might you do, my little friend?" I said,
bringing a small grey remote up to my face to examine it. For a remote,
it didn't seem to have a lot of versatility, having only one white dial
right in the middle, with no distinguishing markings at all to make
sense of what it was supposed to be adjusting. I turn the dial up about
a half turn, looking around to see if something else on one of the
shelves reacted.
"Hmmph," I said, dissatisfied. I really expected to hear some kind of
vibrating.
I reach down and scratch at my chest. Damn it's cold in here. I wrap my
arms around my chest in an attempt to warm them, feeling my nipples dig
into my forearms. As I looked down I saw two little tents sticking out
of my shirt defiantly. "Whoa! Good morning girls! What's got you two all
riled up?"
...What? A lot of people talk to their nipples. Shut up.
I tend not to wear bras, as I've never had anything in need of support,
but this kind of thing doesn't usually happen to me. I pull at my shirt,
but that in no way helped their stalwart campaign to be noticed.
The rough cotton wasn't doing them any favors either. I'd never seen
them this hard! "Okay then... I'm just gonna look around some more. You
guys just try to calm down, k?"
Turning the dial back to its original position, again looking to see if
anything happened (no results), I put it back in the general area that
I'd found it and continued scanning over the shelves. Again I lost
myself in the sea of magical(tm) treasures, and in no time the two
distracting bumps sticking through my shirt faded back to my usual
washboard. Good. All back to normal.
"Wait."
It wasn't until a shelf and a half of browsing later did it click in my
head. After a little too much time trying to find the thing in the place
I thought I'd remembered putting it, I picked the little remote back off
the counter. "Just have to check..."
I glanced down at my chest, then gave the thing another half-turn.
Immediately I felt my nipples crinkle up, pushing out into the fabric. I
stared at them for a while, just holding the remote in both hands with
my head reeling, "No fuckin' way." I spun the dial all the way back, and
like good little soldiers following orders, my nubs softened again. "No
fuckin' WAY!" I spun it around half way and back a couple times,
mesmerized by the little pistons on my chest popping in and out on a
whim. I couldn't hold back the laughter. "Hah! A remote control for
nipples! Why is whoever made this not filthy rich!? I wonder what..."
Holding it in one hand and the dial in the other, I twisted it all the
way around to where it had started, meeting resistance there and
refusing to go any further. I felt my nubs tighten up, the taut flesh
straining against itself to go further. Their sensitivity shot through
the roof, and I felt jolts of sensation zip straight from my nipples
down between my legs. Just the sensation of my shirt touching them was
driving me crazy! "Ack! Too much! Too much."
I spun the thing all the way back around, resetting my nipples to
default, then placing it gingerly back on the shelf. I hopped up and
down on the balls of my feet. This was so fuckin' cool! Suddenly the
rest of the stuff on the shelves didn't feel so much like junk. It felt
more like buried treasure.
Julie
"Here," the shop-girl said, plucking something off the shelf beside her
and holding it out to me. "Try something *not* out of a bargain bin."
She had led me a little further into the shop, the bright sunlight from
outside only barely making it back to us through the rows of shelves.
I took the stick-shaped object out of her hand without really paying
attention, still focused on asking questions.
"Seriously, how did you do the ring thing? Pheromones? Hypnosis?" I
looked away for a second talking to myself quietly, "Maybe it absorbed
through my skin..."
While I was still contemplating her illusion, she deftly grabbed the
stick in my hand, lightly tapped me on the head with it, then put it
back in my hand.
"Ow, hey!" It hadn't really hurt, it was a reflex ow. I rubbed my head
with my free hand.
"You think too much! Now try that thing out and it might answer some of
your questions."
I looked down at the stick. It was warm to the touch. It didn't feel
like I was holding a stick, more like holding someone else's hand. The
whole thing looked like it had been hastily whittled from some branch,
save for one side, which had been sanded completely flat and smooth. On
the flat surface there were carvings, all glowing a faint green. There
were five circles along it, each containing a Roman numeral all the way
up to five. After the furthest number, an intricately carved arrow
pointed right off the edge of the stick, now pointing at the shop-girl.
I looked up at her skeptically, and she just nodded her head towards it.
"Go on, pick a number one through five." She was smiling in
anticipation. She clearly liked showing off the merchandise personally.
I continued to inspect the strange stick. The green glow was shifting
slowly beneath the characters.
"Any number I want?"
She nodded. "Any number you want."
I took a breath. "Fuck it." I pressed my thumb into the Roman numeral
two, and suddenly there was a shift. A sound that I could only describe
as "GLORB" vibrated through the air around us. My eyes were immediately
drawn to her chest. Her tits had practically jumped out at me,
stretching her top even tighter than it was, deepening her already
spectacular cleavage. I couldn't focus on her however, for I was far too
concerned with my own chest.
Or lack thereof. At the precise moment of her spectacular growth, the
front of my shirt deflated, the fabric left loose as the flesh it had
once comfortably held vanished. I tugged at my collar and stared down my
shirt at a chest that hadn't been that flat since I was 12, and a lonely
pair of nipples without a home. My hands desperately searched the front
of my shirt, only confirming its emptiness.
"Ahhn~... That always feels a little better than I remember." Shop-girl
was hefting her new mounds with relish, jiggling them up and down with
her fingers.
I was staring at her tits flabbergasted. My brain short-circuited, and
didn't feel it was capable of doing much else. Soon anger started to
bubble, causing a few words to rise to the surface.
"Give them back!" I half-shouted. Those were mine! They weren't the best
or the prettiest but they were mine damn it! I've had them since I was a
kid! I grew them myself! The instant she heard my voice her tone shifted
from pleased to apologetic.
"Hey! It's okay! Everything's cool! Look, just turn it around and press
it again. It's fine. Everything's fine."
She seemed to really mean it. I fumbled around with the stick for a few
seconds before I got it turned around, then hastily jammed my finger
into the "two" button again. This time was different. Rather than a very
present emptiness like the first time, I felt the warm sensation of
being *filled*. My lips parted and let out a soft breath as my chest
swelled outwards into the cups of my bra. The fabric slid against my
skin as my boobs retook their rightful place. In an instant everything
seemed to be back to normal, although my nipples felt a little harder
than before. I grabbed at my breasts, hugging them gently, not really
caring that there was someone standing right in front of me. These were
mine and I had missed them.
Her boobs had also returned to their correct size, but it wasn't like
*those* had been anything to be sad about in the first place.
"See? Totally fine. You're okay." The tone of her voice made me believe
it. I looked down at the stick in my hand, then up to her face. Her eyes
were full of concern. I took a deep breath.
"Yeah... I'm okay. I'm okay." I let out a little half-scared, half-
relieved laugh. "That was..." I looked back down at the object. The
*magic* object. There weren't any tricks here. There was no doubt after
what just happened. I looked meaningfully into her eyes. She was
waiting, watching my face carefully for the thoughts that were about to
come. "It's real," I said, so softly I'm not even sure she heard it.
"It's all *real*." She put a hand on my shoulder, a smile on her face
that mirrored mine.
Without changing at all, the towering piles of junk around me
transformed into a wonderland of possibility. It took a few minutes for
me to take it all in, but she just stood there next to me, waiting
patiently for me to come back to her.
"So... it steals boobs?" I asked, nonchalantly.
She let out a sigh, then a laugh, probably glad I hadn't had a mental
breakdown. "Or gives them, if you're a nice person."
I look down at the magic boob-stick. "And the numbers are... Cup sizes?"
"Two for two."
I felt hot. My mind was quivering with the possibilities of just this
little corner of this girl's magical world.
A question came to mind, and suddenly my mouth felt very dry. My vision
darted from her face to her chest and back, my eyes lingering just long
enough to ask her my question without saying a word. I asked it anyway.
"... Are you a nice person?" My heart throbbed in my ears as I waited
for her response.
She smiled, nodding her head minutely. She took a step back, bringing
her arms above her head and arching her back, thrusting those beautiful
breasts out towards me.
"Just be gentle with them~"
I re-focused the stick towards her, softly pressing my thumb into the
circled marked "V". The feeling of being filled resurged, the heat and
sensation of the growth ten times as intense as the first time. All at
once my chest exploded outwards, challenging the material of my shirt
and parting the halves of my jacket around the blooming flesh. If I
gasped or moaned I don't remember it. My bra never stood a chance, and
with a short stab of pain in my shoulders, snapped. The tender mounds
heaved and wobbled as the instant of change subsided, leaving behind a
pleasant tingling behind my nipples.
They were ridiculous, and they were *heavy*. Their size couldn't be
hidden by any article of clothing, and my shirt was screaming out for
mercy. Nipples much bigger than mine poked out through the stressed
material with ease, insisting their presence be known. With one in each
hand I hefted them, but it took quite a bit of effort. Did I mention
they were heavy? My back wouldn't last a day with these monsters.
Without really realizing what I was doing, I felt my hands sink into the
soft flesh and went a little weak in the knees.
"Ahem."
The not-cough jolted me out of my little moment, and I let my... mostly
*her* breasts, fall free beneath my shirt. "Right, er. Sorry. They're
just-"
"It's fine," she said reassuringly. "How do you like 'em?"
That was when I looked up. Of course her boobs had swapped owners, but
that didn't mean she was any less stunning. Her tube top had re-fit
itself over her flat chest, pulling up a little to reveal a few inches
of her toned belly. She didn't *need* tits. *She* was what made her
sexy, not some fatty chest-bags.
Looking back from her chest to mine, and realizing I couldn't see any
part of my body below these mountains, I felt rather silly, like a
walking pile of boob. Suddenly remembering she'd asked me a question, I
jumped a little, causing giant ripples to roll across the surface of my
chest.
"Oh. Uh. They're a little..." I didn't know what to say. Stupid?
Amazing? Every one of my rational thoughts screamed out how nonsensical
they were, how pointless. But something in my lizard brain cried out
even louder, cried out *deeper*. It wanted to be groped and squeezed and
sucked on, and to grow even bigger. It wanted *more*.
Before I could finish my sentence, she took the stick from my hand and
pressed one of the buttons. The shift happened again, and a moment later
I was back to my boring old self, and she was just as hot as she had
been. My hands absently drew up to my chest to feel the comfort of my
familiar size.
"Don't worry, you'll get plenty of other chances." She placed the stick
back on the shelf where she'd grabbed it, back before it had changed a
girl's life. She turned away, walked a few steps, then turned back and
waved me over. "Come on, we're not even half way through the tour!"
I quickly followed, not wanting this magical journey to end so soon, or
at all. I reached up my shirt and pulled my ruined bra down through it,
folding it up and stuffing it in the pocket of my hoodie, then zipping
it up. It would have to try its best to hide how hard my nipples were
all by itself.
Wait, what did she mean by "other chances"?
Emma
After a while making sure I would remember where I left it this time, I
put the nipple-dial back on the shelf. If I really was right (and I am
often right), and I had just found an actual magic sex-shop (and that
seemed apparent at this point), then I'll be lucky if a little thing
that makes your nipples hard is the strangest thing I see today.
After that I really started fiddling with everything that caught my eye.
Nothing in here was what it appeared. The next thing I found was a pair
of novelty X-ray glasses, like those cheap ones that you had to send in
40 cereal box tops or some shit to get. Except instead of seeing through
clothes like I thought it was gonna, it showed this weird transparent
view of my fun bits. Like, I clenched up, and then I could *see* myself
clench up inside. Freaky. If I ever get a boyfriend I'm getting him
these and making him wear them while we do it.
I kept looking around for something that might be really fun, like an
actual genie or something, but every lamp I found just had different
liquids in them that did some... *interesting* things to skin. I dripped
a little on the back of my hand to see what they did. One made me grow
fur! It was super soft, I couldn't stop petting it. I was worried I'd
have to shave it off when I got home but it un-grew in about 10 minutes.
It was weird. This other one... Well I poured a few drops on the back of
my hand... It was like everywhere it had soaked in was a new sex zone!
Er, eroj, erogenous! Erogenous zone, that one. I couldn't stop petting
that either... And it could reach my mouth! A sexy part I could *reach
with my mouth*. I had to stop myself. That one... Still hasn't worn off.
I'm just trying really hard to focus on finding more stuff.
Anyway, that made me set up the first of many rules that I created.
1. You can rub the lamps to check for genies, but DON'T open them.
2. If it's liquid, DON'T touch it. And for god's sake DON'T DRINK IT.
No one wants to end up with an erotically sensitive stomach lining.
3. If it looks like a puzzle box, don't touch it. I've seen Hellraiser.
4. I haven't come up with rule four yet, but there's gotta be more stuff
I haven't thought of. I'm just glad I caught the puzzle box thing
early, honestly.
My eyes hovered over one strange object after another, while absently
thinking about more rules to make. It isn't long before I find another
thing that catches my attention.
By all accounts it probably shouldn't have. It was unassuming and normal
looking, but I guess in a sea of super-special magic stuff it pays to be
normal. It was a small metal disc, about the size of my palm, with no
markings on it other than a button mechanism along a seam around the
outside edge.
"So it's a compact," I state plainly, fumbling around with the open
button. "Step right up ladies and gentlemen! Taking all bets! Hmm, maybe
it does your makeup for you? Or it's like, a magic mirror? Going once
for magic mirror! Going twice!" There's a small click, and the metal
disc opens up like a clam.
It takes a second before I can actually believe what I'm seeing, but I
think a lot of that is going to start going around pretty soon.
The inside top half is flat and featureless, but the bottom was what
threw me off. Puffing out a little from the rim of the circle was the
unmistakable seam of a pretty little pink vagina.
"So I'm guessing that's a no-go on the magic mirror?" I said, leaning in
closely to inspect the thing. For a vagina it looked pretty normal. I
mean I guess it did. I've seen enough of other ones from the internet,
and it looked pretty much like mine anyway. The only strange thing about
it was where it was currently trapped inside a little pop-open disc
sitting in my hand.
"Aww, poor little thing. You just want to be set free, don't you?" I
reach on finger up and run it gently over the soft skin next to the
lips.
And feel something touch me between my legs.
"Whoa! Hold up!" Suddenly alarmed, I stare at the thing for a few
seconds, and it just sits there, being a vagina. "Alright," I said
determinedly to no one, "for science!"
I softly blow on the pink lips, and feel the same cool breeze brush
against mine. I shiver a little. This was different. I slowly put my
finger against it, and feel the pressure of its presence between my
legs.
"This shouldn't be so weird. I mean, I touch myself there all the time,
right?" My fingers slide across its surface up and down, and in real
time I feel the sensations. "Right..." I stand there for several
moments, carefully inspecting "myself" before I decide that this was
something best done in private.
I close the portable pussy portal with a click, turning it around in my
hands. "I do believe you would wreak too much havoc if you fell into the
wrong hands." I slid the disc back onto the shelf and continue my
journey, still feeling a little warm. It wasn't too far down the next
aisle before I spotted something else.
"Oh! Crystal ball! That's got to be a good one."
I leaned down to the bottom shelf where the perfectly round orb sat on
top of an ornate metal setting. I went to pick it up, my fingers
brushing against its glassy surface - A crashing ocean of images began
bombarding my mind, each scene swirling into my vision and swooping away
before I can reorient myself. A few hesitate here and there for just an
extra moment, enough to get an impression. They all flash by in rapid
succession.
I'm walking through The Mall with Julie, we're laughing.
The cover of a strange book with a gem-like eye in the center that glows
bright blue.
I'm alone on my bed, my hands working vigorously on an enormous cock
jutting out from between my legs.
A boy... No, a girl, a boy! All I can tell is that he/she has red hair.
Julie and I are standing across from each other in the middle of The
Mall. I can't see her face. A book is floating next to me and I'm
crying.
The last image, so close up it didn't feel like I was looking at it, I
felt like I was in it. Julie and I, kissing deeply.
The world rushes back to me and I barely manage to stay on my feet. I
catch my breath and try to make sense of everything, or even remember
it. It all seemed so slippery in my head, just barely there.
"What a fucking trip." I only barely manage to make that joke, and I'm
still trying to catch my breath.
"Rule number four." I back away from the crystal ball and continue down
the aisle. "Don't touch crystal balls."
Then, without realizing it, I'd reached the back edge of the store. It
felt like it'd just walked a mile with shelves on either side of me, yet
I turned around, and could see the front wall of the shop just a few
seconds walk away, sun still shining in from the beads hanging in the
entryway.
"Of course the magic shop is magic. Then it wouldn't be a magic shop."
My next thoughts jump back to the crystal ball's visions, which bounce
again to thoughts of Julie.
"Wait a second, holy crap, where's Julie!?"
Julie
As the two of us walk down the rows and rows of shelves (and I try
really hard not to stare at her ass), I'm slowly realizing that we've
been walking for *way* longer than this shop could possibly be. I turn
around to check if there was an endless hallway stretching out behind
us, but see the front of the shop just a few feet away. I turn back to
ask.
"How did we-"
She had seen my glance from over her shoulder and cut me off, "Try not to
think too much about where you are, just where you're going. The shop
tries to lead you towards what you want, but the halls can get a bit
funky if you focus on the physics of it too much."
Her answer only threw more things onto my quickly growing pile of
questions.
"So everything in here is really magic? Like, *really*?"
She stopped her leisurely stroll, turned around and raised her eyebrow
at me. That shut me up pretty fast. "You're asking the wrong questions."
"Right. Okay... Where are we going?" I felt so small next to her, in
more ways than one.
"Warmer." She looked around whimsically and plucked something from the
shelf to her left. She held a bright red button on a little stand out to
me on her palm. "Press it. You could use it."
At this the common sense lobe in my brain flared out brightly. I'd been
ignoring most of its pleas since I walked in here, but I figured it was
about time I listened to it.
"I'm... gonna pass. At least until I know what it does."
She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine. Well if you're not gonna have
one-" She pulled the button in close to her chest, eyeing it like a kid
about to open a present. She jammed her thumb down on it, and right away
her whole body curled and shifted. Her knees buckled, her thighs sliding
against each other as her back arched. Her head rolled back a little,
and with a look of bliss on her face her lips parted for a long, low
moan.
"Uuuhhnn~ Ahh..." She didn't have to explain what the button did. She
just came, right there on the spot. After a deep breath she exhaled and
let out a little laugh. "Whew! Always good for a quick pick-me-up."
Now I consider myself straight. At least like, 90% if you can believe
that after the way you've heard me think about her, but that display
was... This girl could sell gloves to someone with no arms if you know
what I mean. This wasn't normal sexy. This girl was *supernatural* sexy.
I squeezed my legs together and coughed nervously.
"Uhh." I coughed again, laughing at the inescapable awkwardness. I
couldn't acknowledge what just happened. Absolutely no way. I quickly
turned over to a shelf, determined to find something distracting.
I picked up a little tin full of something.
She tossed the red button back on the shelf and walked over to me,
leaning over my shoulder. "You find something?"
It had a label across the top, some of it had been ripped off, but most
of it had refused to leave.
I squinted to read the worn label. "Nanomek?"
Her face lit up with excitement. "Oh that! Well that one has kind of a
long story. So there was-"
"JULES!? ARE YOU ALIVE!?"
Emma's scream sounded like it had echoed from across a canyon. Oh crap,
Emma! What the hell kind of trouble did she get herself into? Knowing
her and what little I do about this place, nothing good.
"Emma! Sorry, I gotta go find her. Uh, thanks for the tour!" I dropped
the tin back on the shelf and turned to where I thought I heard the
shout come from. "I'M COMIN'!" I took off in a half-run down one of the
halls, but I stopped after passing just one aisle. I did a double take.
Emma was standing in the aisle right behind us.
"Julie! You're not gonna believe-!"
"I know! It's amazing!"
"How does that even-?"
"I don't know! One sec, the girl from the shop was-"
Right as I turn to find her, she was standing right next to us.
"Oh. Hi."
She made a little joke wave. "Hi. If you've both ready, I can show you
two to the register? We're closing soon."
"What?! It's like, 5 in the afternoon!" Emma whined, clearly very
disappointed.
The shop girl just turned her head and gestured towards the entrance.
The little sun that had been shining through the beads at the entryway
had gone, and you could see a few stars flickering in a black sky in its
place.
We just turned to each other, both of us very confused. Emma shrugged at
me.
"Okay then. Lead the way!"
Julie
The three girls walked to the far reaches of the shop, ending up at a
dark oak counter with a cash register plopped on top of it. On the
counter next to the register sat an incredibly old-looking book, bound
in thick leather. A blue gem in the shape of an eye was set into the
cover and Emma couldn't shake the feeling that she'd seen it somewhere.
Behind the register was a black curtain drawn over a doorframe with a
sign on the wall next to it that read "employee only."
The shop-girl strode behind the counter, dropping her elbows onto it and
putting her chin in her hands.
"Alright! So, what'll it be for the two lovely ladies?"
I answered before Emma had a chance. "I don't think we'll be getting
anything today, thanks."
"But we're definitely coming back!" Emma added excitedly.
She smiled at us. "Glad to hear it."
Emma suddenly looked a little nervous. "Oh! Uh..." She leaned over the
counter, pulling her hand up to her mouth and whispering into the shop-
girl's ear. Julie couldn't hear anything but muffled whispers, but shop-
girl's face lit up and she let out a chuckle.
"Oh, that'll wear off in a few days. Don't worry about it."
"AHNnn!~"
Shop girl had grabbed Emma's wrist tightly, rubbing her thumb against
the back of her hand. Emma's face crinkled up, her eyes closing and her
brows pulling together. Julie watched the strange interaction as the
shop girl whispered loudly to her friend.
"Think of it as a free sample." Emma was finally able to pull her hand
away, blushing deeply and holding it tenderly with her other hand.
"Alright... I guess you two are all set then! One more thing though.
Before you guys leave, you gotta touch the book." She tapped the old
leather thing with her finger. "Standard procedure. Something like a
tradition. Think of it as good luck."
Julie and Emma looked at each other a shrugged. Julie reached her hand
out and tapped the cover. The leather was unnaturally smooth for
something that looked so old. Emma went out to touch it next.
"Ow!" Emma let out a yelp as a bright blue bolt of static jumped out and
zapped her finger. A light flashed behind the crystalline eye set in the
center of the cover, and a shocked look overtook the shop-girl's face.
It was the first time Julie had seen her do anything but smile.
"Uhh." She shook her head, then spoke very quickly, "Okay, uhh. You two.
Stay here for a minute. I'll be right back. Don't move." She walked back
towards the black curtain, pulling it open and slipping through. She
poked her head out from behind it. "Seriously. Stay. One minute." Then
plunged back into the darkness behind the curtain.
Shop Girl
The black curtain whipped shut behind me as I tore down the back hallway
of the shop.
"Damn it, *damn it*." This wasn't supposed to happen! Well, it had to
happen sometime. But I didn't think this soon! Not for a long time! At
least not until after I was dead.
My shoes clicked against the hard marble floors, echoing through the
nearly endless arrangements of shelves in the restricted section.
Everything in here was too dangerous to be kept where people could mess
around with it, and it was all safely locked away behind shielding
charms and anti-theft hexes.
Everything but that *damned* book.
As I approached the very back edge of the shop, I found him in his usual
posture, hunched over at his desk with his nose right up against some
book. Occasionally he'd look up, think for a moment, write something
down in his notebook with his angry scribble handwriting, then continue
reading.
"Master, there are two girls here, in the shop. They-"
"How many times do I have to tell you?" He marked his page and closed
the book, turning his chair around to face me. His tone shifted to one
of sincerity. "You don't have to call me that, Anna." His blue eyes
sparkled in the little light there was flickering from the candle on the
table. I keep telling him he should just use a lamp or something, but
he's kind of old fashioned that way. He smiled at me, deepening the
wrinkles on his face. It seems like every time I look at him he's gotten
a new one.
"Right. Sorry. Obeus, the girls-"
"That's better," he said, relaxing a bit. He leaned back in his chair,
brushing some of the long grey hair out of his face. "Now tell me, what
was it?" His usual relaxed demeanor made him a very difficult person to
get angry with, but I guess I was just trying really hard today.
"One of the girls. The book... It responded."
He said nothing, though his brow furrowed. He turned back to his desk
and reopened his book, continuing to peruse its pages.
"Mas- Obeus? What should I do?"
With his nose still in the book he responded. "You already know what to
do." He picked his face up and gave me the same smile as the day I met
him. "Give them the book."
"But... They're just girls!" My voice was beginning to rise. "They have
no idea what-"
His face got very still for a moment. "Anna, we have been waiting for
this for a very long time now, and I don't think I have to remind you
*why* we don't keep it locked up with the others. If the book has found
its owner then we have one job." He stood up, approaching me and putting
his hand on my face, running his thumb against my cheek. He smiled that
damn un-hateable smile of his. "Give them the book."
Julie
Shop-girl had taken off through the curtain, leaving Emma and I to stand
there and wait for her to come back. I was getting kind of worried.
"Ooh! Ominous," Emma said, zooming her attention in on the book that
elicited such a strange reaction from shop-girl. "What do you think it
does? I'm betting on spellbook."
"Would it kill you to be serious for five seconds?" I said, examining
the book along with her. The eye-shaped gem in the center had picked up
a slowly pulsing glow from behind it, changing its color to bright teal
as the light shined through.
"Excuse you? We are in an actually magical magic shop. Yes it would kill
me."
"You just got zapped by the spooky, important-looking magic book on the
counter! Don't you think-"
"Ooh! Hello handsome!" Emma had caught sight of something over my
shoulder and started walking up to it.
"Emma! Come back, the girl said don't move!" She was walking up to a
huge full-length mirror that had been propped up against the shelf, too
big to be fit onto it.
"Relax Jules! It's like five feet. Come check this out!" I followed her
over to the giant mirror where she was making poses at herself.
Except... It wasn't her. The reflection in the mirror was a guy, about
her height, with the same color hair, except it was much shorter. In
fact, the only big difference between them was his guy-ness. Over her
shoulder I could see another guy in the mirror, kind of tall, cut jaw,
mid-length wavy-brown hair, green eyes. I tilted my head a bit to try to
get a better view, and he followed my movements.
"Woah..." I let out, carefully stepping closer to the mirror. His eyes
were staring deeply into mine. "They look just like us..."
"Except they're dudes!" Emma lifted her shirt to show off her belly, her
male counterpart mimicking her actions. "Check it! Dude-me has abs!" She
ran her fingers over her stomach, watching with relish as the boy in the
mirror did the same. "Turn around a sec! I gotta see if guy - me is
packin'!"
She let her shirt fall, bringing her hands to the button of her shorts.
Thankfully before she could do any more we heard the sound of cloth
whipping around behind us. Shop girl had returned, looking a little bit
calmer than she had when she left. She looked around, concerned for a
moment before her eyes fell on us.
"Oh, you found the Mirror of Pawsredneg." She walked over to us, though
remaining behind the counter. "It shows you what you would really look
like if you'd been born a guy. Or a girl, depending."
I took another glance at guy-me. I didn't feel like I was staring at
another person. It was still me, just wearing a different body.
"Anyway," she said, trying to get our attention, "if you guys would come
back over here, I have a few things I have to ask you."
I tugged Emma away from the mirror by her shoulder where she had still
been trying to see if she could see her mirror self's nipples without
revealing her own and lead her back to the front of the counter.
"So, what's up with the book?" I ask, genuinely curious. She cringed a
little as I mentioned it.
"I'll explain in a second. First-" She turned to Emma, holding up a
finger. "Where do you live? I mean, do you live with your parents?
Family?"
Emma and I respond at the same time, our voices overlapping. "*We're
roommates*."
Shop-girl gives a little sigh of relief. "Oh good. Okay, that makes
things easier." With a little bit of hesitation, she picks up the book
off the counter, holding it out to Emma. "This is yours now. There are
no real rules, but you should probably wait until you get home before
you open it." Emma takes it with both hands, holding it close to her
chest like a child would a new puppy. Shop girl turned to me next. "I
know you're her friend, so I'm asking you to look out for her," she
addressed us both. "Look out for each other. And you especially," she
said, pointing a finger in Emma's face, "try to be nice."
"Aren't I always?" she asked the room, to be greeted with silence.
"Soooo..." she said, her voice trailing off. "Free book?"
Shop-girl smiled, for some reason it looked like sympathy. "Free book."
"Woo! Free book!" Emma shouted, holding it above her head and heading
for the exit with a spring in her step.
Before turning to follow her, I face the girl behind the counter. "Thank
you." I smiled meaningfully at her. She just waves me goodbye.
I do a little half-run to catch up with Emma by the front of the shop,
and before too long we're stepping through the arch of beads again,
walking back to my car to head home.
Shop Girl
I step out from behind the counter to watch the two girls leave. They
manage to make it back to the entrance without getting distracted or
lost, which is more than I can say for most customers. I glance over at
the mirror, grimacing at my reflection. The thing had a nasty habit of
stripping away my illusion charms.
The figure in the mirror was male, and couldn't possibly be mistaken as
anything but. He stood completely naked, 6' tall with muscles rippling
out from everywhere. His deep red skin was shiny and smooth, and a pair
of horns curled out from the top of his forehead like a ram's. The only
thing more inhuman about him than the hooves that held up this giant
mass of man was the mammoth cock that hung between his legs almost to
his knees.
I hated being reminded what I was. I sigh and glance away, back to the
entryway where the two girls had since departed.
"So, Emma and Julie..." I chuckle to myself. "You two have no idea what
you're in for."
Chapter 2
Julie
The entire drive home Emma just sat next to me in the passenger
seat with her legs crossed, the book in her lap, her eyes fixed on the
gem set into the cover while shitty pop music buzzed quietly through the
radio. It was clear that Emma had jumped into the whole magic thing with
a great deal more ease than I, as I was still getting some spooky hoodoo
bad juju vibes from the whole situation. Whoever ran the undercover
magical society did not go around giving out seemingly cursed magical
tomes to teenage girls.
When we parked at the house Emma leaned over to me with her hands making
grabbing motions. "Keyskeyskeys. Gimme." I dropped the keys into her
hands and she took off to the front door with them and her new treasure.
She disappeared inside before I even got out of the car.
Okay, so a quick rundown of The House. It was big. Like, massive mansion
huge. It's got every kind of room that you'd expect some fancy pants
mansion to have, a parlor, a library, an indoor pool, a personal
theatre, and a fuckton more other rooms than we know what to do with.
Emma and I live here, alone, just the two of us, no mortgage, no jobs,
no school or college classes. This slice of heaven was brought to us in
full by Emma's awesome uncle. He was a super-rich eccentric, and he
pretty much raised Emma single handedly until he died. Very sad. Dark
times. But he left her *everything*. How I came to live here is a
different story that I might tell later.
By the time I'd gotten inside she was sitting in the middle of the
living room floor with the still-closed book in front of her, staring at
it. Without looking up she addressed me as I walked in.
"Should I open it?"
"You should most definitely *not* open it." The question of what kind of
magical wonder could exist inside that book tickled the back of my mind,
but my cautious side was getting the better of me. Or something else
was.
"I'm gonna open it."
Even after saying it, she didn't move, her gaze focused on the eye in
the cover. I crossed her and threw myself onto the couch, trying to seem
disinterested. Why should I care? It's not like *I* got given a magic
book.
It continued on like that for almost a minute, me watching her, she
watching the book, not much movement other than the occasional sniffle.
After a few minutes of "opening the book," she fell backwards onto the
carpet and groaned.
"UUUGHH! This shouldn't be this hard!" She threw herself forward, her
hands flying to the book, then hesitating again. "I'm just gonna open
it!" Her hands didn't move.
"You should make a series on how to open books. You'd make millions."
"Shut up," she said, her hands still frozen on the cover. After a few
more seconds she turned to me. "You should open it."
"And take whatever voodoo curse that thing is loaded with? No thank you.
It's your magic book, anyway."
"Aw, don't be like that." She stood up, leaving the book on the floor
and tossing herself onto the couch next to me, causing the whole thing
to jerk. "This is *our* magic book. It just kinda... zapped me. We don't
live in a universe where static electricity declares ownership of
objects. If we did everyone would have carpets and the price of wool
socks would go *way* up," That got me to smile. She punched me lightly
on the shoulder. "Now get down here and help me open the stupid voodoo
book."
"Fine. But if your letter from Hogwarts comes in the mail tomorrow and
mine isn't right next to it we're not friends anymore."
She laughed. "Get over here you muggle." We both moved ourselves down to
the floor, sitting side by side, cross legged in front of the book like
a campfire. We just stared at it for a few more seconds.
I put my hand on the cover, and she puts hers next to mine. "On three?"
"On three."
"One..."
"two..."
"THREE!" At the same time we threw the cover of the book open. I don't
know what either of us were expecting but any of our possible imagined
usherings into the world of magic were let down. Inside of the book was
*Gasp!* paper. With squiggles on it. The entire first page was covered
from top to bottom in these weird swirly lines that I guess were
supposed to be some kind of letters, except they didn't really form
words, more like Chinese characters, like each little segment was
separated from the others.
I shrugged. "Well that was anti-climactic. Emma?" When I looked over at
her she was staring wide eyed at the page. "Emma? You okay?" I knew it!
Voodoo hex.
"No *way*... This is crazy..." She just stared open-mouthed at the page.
"What's crazy? The squiggles are crazy?"
"What? Wait, you can't see them?"
"I see squiggles. Are we looking at the same squiggles?"
"No, like, the feeling! Look." She grabbed my shoulder, pointing at one
of the collection of swirly lines that to me kind of looked like a
snowflake. "Right there, you don't see that?"
I squinted hard at the paper. Just a bunch of ink on a page. "I see the
snowflake squiggle."
"No, not the squiggles! The- Damn it this is weird. It's like I can feel
them. What they're supposed to mean. There aren't any words or pictures
just..." She stared at the page for a few seconds, her gaze completely
captivated by something I couldn't see. "It's like they're shooting what
they mean into my brain!"
Emma was right. I'm a muggle. "Well what does it say? Translate."
She crunched up her face in a focusing gesture, bringing her face closer
to the page. "Each one of them, they all do a thing. Like... Oh. Heh.
But this one... Oh that one too..." She looked up from the page, her
face contorted in a mischievous smile.
"What?"
"Okay so they're all like, spells, right? Except they all do some kinda'
sexy thing."
I squinted again at the page, trying to derive the meaning of the lines
now that I had some context. "What kind of sexy things?"
She jammed her finger into the first squiggle. "So this one, spell one
on page one. It makes you horny.
"This one," she slid her finger across the page to something near the
middle, "makes all your clothes disappear, or invisible, or something.
And this one, right next to it! It changes your clothes to whatever
you're thinking of!"
"That last one doesn't sound sexy."
"You just don't have the right mind for it to be sexy." She turned back
to the book, flipping the page and thrusting her attention into it. "Ooh
this one looks- Hah! That's- Oh... Oh wow..." Her eyes were darting up
and down the pages, her brain going a mile a minute trying to soak up
all the information. Excitedly she looks up at me. "Who wants to be the
guinea pig?"
I throw my hands up. "Whoa! Not it!"
"Aww come on! I'll do something vanilla! I wanna see how it works!" She
gave me her best puppy-dog face. "Pleeeeease?"
Damn that face. "Fine," I say, scooching around the rug, adjusting my
position to sit across from her. "But I keep my clothes on, understood?"
"Woo! Magic time!" She plants her face back into the book, looking for
something that (I hope) would be mild enough. "Maybe this... Nah. Hmm...
Ooh, *definitely* saving that one for later... Oh! I guess that'll
work..." She brings her hands up above the book in a wizardly gesture.
"This one's perfect. Ready Jules?"
"No," I say, wincing at whatever kinky fate Emma had imagined for me.
"Go whenever."
"Alright... Here we GO!" She throws her hands out at me, and out of
reflex I clench up.
Nothing happens. Emma looks back down at the book, confused. "Aww, what
gives?"
I chuckle. "Maybe that spell is too high for your level. Or you don't
have enough mana. Does it have any magic words?"
"Shuuush. Maybe I have to be touching it?" She puts one hand down on the
page, the other pointed out at me.
A sudden arc of white/blue light jolts from her fingertips, crashing
directly into my chest. A cry of bewilderment bursts from me as I tense
up, my arms pulling up to my chest out of pure reflex. After the initial
shock, I open my eyes to see Emma staring down at her hand, little
tendrils of light still twisting off the tips of her fingers and
disappearing into the air.
"Woah," she said to herself, flicking her hand like she was putting out
a match and watching the vapor trails dissipate. She looks back up at
me. "You okay?"
I had no idea. I look down, taking careful inventory of myself. Arms,
check. Legs, check. My mind darts down the list and everything seems to
be in working order. I was a little surprised that I didn't have like, a
second head, or a third boob. I looked up at Emma to see her excited
face staring at my chest, making me re-evaluate my last guess.
Looking back down I saw what she'd been staring at. Two little bumps
were popping out from the front of my hoodie. I unzipped it enough to
see two incredibly bright high-beams screaming out to the world for
attention through my shirt. My ruined bra was still stuffed into one of
my hoodie's pockets, but I don't think even the combined might of all
three of those layers of fabric would have been able to conceal such
raging nipple hard-ons.
"Yeah! Take it off!" Emma said, letting out a wolf-whistle.
I zipped myself back up, feeling a little vulnerable, but the twin bumps
were still blaringly obvious through the grey cloth. "Is that what you-
?"
"Yep! I found this little gizmo at the shop that did pretty much the
same thing. Pretty cool huh?"
"You..." I let my brain veer past the imagined images of Emma alone in a
kinky magic shop before continuing. "It just makes nipples hard?"
Emma's face fell hard at my clearly unamused tone. "Well you can suck
the fun out of anything if you say it like *that*. The point is it
WORKS!"
I leaned back and braced myself against the rug with my arms, then
returned to my original position, feeling a little over exposed with my
brights on. "When does it, er, stop?" My eyes kept dropping back to
glance at them, somehow surprised every time to see that they were as
hard as the last time I looked.
"Uh," Emma said concerned, her face diving back down to the book and
scanning over it for a few worrying seconds before coming back up. "An
hour. See? Nothing to worry about! Just a little harmless kinky magic
fun between friends."
My face dropped back down to stare at the nubs staring up at me. I guess
an hour of hard nipples wasn't the worst fate to be shackled to. I
looked back up. "Can it do anything a little more... useful? Like, I
don't know. Clean the dishes? Or conjure food or something?"
Emma was apparently eager to prove her new toy's worth, because as soon
as I finished she jumped up.
"Right on it!" She picked up on the page she left off on, slowly
finishing reading the spells on that page, turning it over, and starting
to scan the next ones. She muttered under her breath, "Show... Me...
Food spells..."
Apparently the book had heard her, because as if a sudden gust of wind
had blasted through the room, the pages began to turn at blazing speed,
causing Emma's hands to jump away from it. The blur of paper looked as
if it was flipping through thousands and thousands of pages, far more
than the little book could possibly contain. A split second before it
stopped, I noticed that more pages kept flooding out of the inside of
the back cover and falling through the inside-front when they rustled
past. After a few seconds it stopped, lying open in front of Emma's
crossed legs as still as if she had simply opened it like that.
Emma looked down at what to me were still squiggles, each page
indistinguishable from the next, then let out a, "Hmmm."
"Well?" I said, more than a little frustrated. It was like I was a
toddler again and I couldn't read the subtitles on the muted TV and I
didn't know what the hell was going on.
"Well," she said, still scanning the page, "if by 'Conjure food' you
mean 'Whipped cream on your genitals,' then yes, we can conjure food."
"Hooray. We've solved world hunger," I said flatly. "What kind of pervy
wizard made this thing?!" I said, adjusting my hoodie, still feeling
self-conscious with my nubs poking through my shirt. They were kind of
hard to ignore.
Emma snickered. "At least we know it has a working search function."
An idea struck me. "Hey book, uh, sir. Do you have a spell that could
let me read you?"
The book sat inert on the floor, further mocking me. Emma followed up
after me, yelling at it, "You heard the lady! Get my homie some wizard
eyes!"
Still nothing.
I slumped, letting out a sigh. "Guess I'll just chill here while you do
magic."
Emma wasn't having my sulky attitude for a second. "Hey, quit that. We
can take turns. Just tell the book what spell you want and I'll do it,
no questions asked. We can make a game out of it!"
A smile crept into the corner of my mouth. "Yeah, like when normal girls
have sleepovers, where they braid each other's hair, talk about boys,
have their first lesbian experiences where they play spin the bottle and
compare boob sizes." I laughed. "Okay maybe not that last one."
Emma got a look on her face. "I was gonna take it easy on you 'cause
you're being all whiney, but just for that..." She turned to the book
and whispered into it, covering her mouth with her hand. Her
unintelligible whispers were replaced by the whirring of pages flying
by. The look turned into a mischievous grin as she scanned the page.
I scooted backwards a little, my still-hard nipples dragging against the
inside of my shirt as I tried to assuage Emma's coming wrath. "Woah
woah! It was a joke! Emma..."
She looked up, apparently satisfied with what she'd read, then leveled
her hand at me. "I guess I'll take my turn first, titty monster."
This time I hadn't had my eyes closed, and saw the full effect of the
magic. Emma's irises glowed the same blue/white that burst from her
fingertips as the magic surged up through the hand that was touching the
page to the fingers pointed like a gun at my chest, right between my two
bull's eyes. You could actually see the bluish glow through her skin,
lighting up her veins like lightning. The brief beam of magic arced
through the air between us in an instant.
This time I felt the spell as it hit me, and my mind jolted back to the
magic shop as a familiar feeling electrified the flesh on my chest. The
satisfying sensation of being filled pulsed through me, my nipples
dragging past the fabric of my shirt as it was forced upwards. A moment
later it was all over, and I sat there with my hands clutching my
forcefully expanded assets, staring bullets at Emma.
"If you're gonna make jokes about having bigger tits than me all the
time." She held her sizzling fingertips up to her mouth and blew them
out like postols. "Then you should at least have some TITS!"
The last word was exemplified by a gesture of holding her hands in front
of her chest, cupping a pair of invisible breasts.
From what I could feel behind my fingers I had probably gained about two
full sizes, enough to put me to at *least* a double d, and while they
weren't even a fraction of the monsters I had briefly sported back at
the shop, they still felt unfamiliar and huge in my hands.
"Fine," I said, smiling as I let my hands fall back to my sides, again
revealing the effects of Emma's first spell. "You want to play it like
that? Gimme the book."
"There she is!" Emma said, sliding the book across the carpet on its
back, still open. "Go on! Hit me!"
I turning the book around towards me and whispered into it, hoping that
this time I would hear me.
Nothing.
"It's still not doing anything."
"Alright," she said, leaning over and pulling it back towards her. "Just
tell me what you *would have* hit me with, and I'll pretend you did a
cool magic backflip or something to cast it at me."
"Alright then. Give yourself a pair of cat ears."
She let out a gasp as if I'd just commanded her to jump off a bridge.
"You wouldn't dare make me..."
"I dare! I DOUBLE dare! Do it." Emma liked anime for the most part, but
she absolutely *hated* cat girls.
I never understood the oddly specific animosity, but I s
