Stacy shoved the gun under her bed, realizing that she had an appointment at the gym. She hurriedly gathered her gym clothes into a duffel bag and ran to the front door, where she passed her house maids, Estella and Ginger.

Estella was obviously straining to hold up a heavy bucket of cleaning supplies. "Sometimes I wish I had muscles like Mrs. Stacy," she grumbled, "that would make life a lot easier."

"Ugh, why would you ever want to look like that?" Ginger asked. "I swear, every time I see her she looks more and more like a man."

Estella rolled her eyes. She and Ginger rarely agreed on anything. "Nevermind. I guess we should clean the master suite first. I'll take the bedroom if you take the bathroom."

"Deal!"

Estella broke out the broom first. There was a decent film of dust all about the room. Mrs. Stacy had never been much of a housekeeper. Dust seemed to be spilling out from under the bed, so Estella swept the broom underneath it. She heard a clatter as a small, plastic gun skittered over the floor and into the opposite wall. Estella shuffled over to where the gun rested and picked it up. It had two dials, labeled "height" and "muscle." She fiddled with both dials, turning them to their maximum level, 11. Estella shrugged, figuring it was a kids toy, and chucked it toward the bed. Her aim was a little off however, and the gun jammed into the bedpost, emitting a blast of crackling red energy.

The blast hit Estella, nearly knocking her on her back. Almost before she could register what had happened, Estella's body filled with a supernatural energy. She could feel it spread from her stomach out into her limbs, causing every facet of her handsome features to tingle. Then the growth began.

A tremendous creaking sound emanated from her bones as her body grew taller. Estella was scared. She had no idea where this power had come from, and why she was growing. Ginger, hearing the racket from the bathroom, called out "Hey 'Stella, what is that God-awful noise? Is the vacuum cleaner on the fritz again?"

"Ginger..." Estella croaked "something *grunt* is happening to me..." As she spoke, Estella's body began to fill out, her luscious curves rounding taking on perfect form. Her breasts ballooned, stretching the breast of her maid's uniform to the limit, pert nipples pushing their way free.

"What was that? What do you mean "something is happening to you"?

"I...I don't know. Something strange..." as Estella spoke, her face became angular, her lips plumping ever so slightly. Then the feeling of power increased tenfold. Estella smiled, baring now pearl-white teeth. "Something strange..." Her muscles tightened, then began forcing their way outwards. Her musculature could be seen bulging under her uniform. "And yet...wonderful."

Almost as if these words were the key to her transformation, Estella's biceps and triceps tore through her sleeves, revealing their bronzed glory. Her deltoids were next. Her breasts thrust forward on exploding pectorals, divided by ever deepening cleavage. Abs rippled then tightened, as her behind swelled to muscular perfection. Her legs tore free of her shirt, thickening to the size of a tree trunk. Estella could feel her back twist into a veritable sea of musculature. The ridges emerged from her shirt, before being lost underneath a cascade of billowing black hair. And she was still growing.

Estella's head was rapidly approaching the 9 foot tall ceiling. Every muscle continued to swell far beyond what any bodybuilder could hope to achieve. Her skin, now a beautiful bronze, shone with sweat. Her aureolas expanded, taking on a deep brown color.

Ginger emerged from the bathroom in time to see Estella's growth shudder to a halt. She stood agape at the 8'5" behemoth her partner had become. "My God, what's happened to you?!?" she screamed, as she took in Estella's voluptuous, muscular curves.

"I already told you," Estella said, "something wonderful."
