Dave sat playing with his muscles. He was flexing his pectorals first together, then alternating back and forth. This new body of his was incredible. He wondered, however, how history had changed to allow for his tremendous size and strength. Had he worked out to achieve this size? How was he able to surpass all the rest of humanity? Where did this mansion come from? Was his relationship with his friends the same in this reality as it was in his own?
Glancing to his right Dave noticed that the wall there was covered with pictures and trophies. Dave walked over to inspect them more closely. Many of them were of Dave and his family, and in each one of them he was by far the biggest. Even pictures going back as far as grade school showed Dave with a physique that would have rivaled amateur bodybuilders. So it seemed he had been born large and just kept growing. Moving down the line he saw a framed issue of Flex magazine that feature Dave on the cover. It was a few years old, so the Dave pictured was merely gigantic instead enormous. Next to the magazine was the front page of the sports section of a newspaper. The headline read: “14 Superboy Wins Mr. Olympia.”
Dave skimmed the article which gave a brief biography of Dave’s alternate reality life. In it the reporter wrote that Dave had been born myostatin negative. Myostatin, the article said, was a hormone that the body naturally produced to stop the production of muscle. In Dave’s case the hormone was absent and his body didn’t know how to stop growing. Dave had apparently only worked out in the gym for a few weeks when he was 13, and his body had reacted so quickly that he’d had to stop.
Dave moved down the line and saw more recent pictures of him with his friends. He stopped on a collage of them all at the beach. Dave truly looked like a god standing in the surf flexing for the girls who all had pretend shocked looks on their faces, as if he were some great sea creature that had just emerge from the water. Dave lingered on another picture of Jackie and Brittany together in skimpy bikinis. He’d never known Jackie to wear anything other than a one-piece, but with her enhanced breasts it was obvious she didn’t mind showing off from time to time. Her pale skin stood in stark contrast to Brittany’s tan and combined with her copious freckles looked incredibly sexy in a girl-next-door sort of way.
Next down the line was a picture that showed Dave at a park with the girls. Jackie was sitting on his shoulders, her legs wrapped around his neck. The other two were being held up in each of his hands, Rachel in his left, Brittany in his right.
“That’s one of my favorites,” a voice to his left said.
Dave turned and saw Jackie standing at his side. “That was a fun day,” she said.
Dave looked back at the picture and nodded, a little sad that he had no memory of it.
“I’m always amazed by just how strong you are,” she continued. “I mean I know you’ve set world records and everything, but when you picked me up and set me on your shoulders I got to really feel just how light I was in your hands.”
She paused for a few moments before adding, “Sometimes.... well actually most of the time, I wish I were big and strong like you.”
“Really?” Dave said turning to face Jackie.
“Yeah, well, maybe not as big as you are. But I think it would be so awesome to be the biggest woman alive. Your number 2. I could be bigger than all the men, out flex them and beat them at arm wrestling five on one.” She shivered with excitement, “God, that would be so sexy.”
Jackie turned to where Rachel was sitting on the couch, “Don’t you think that would be the best, Rachel?”
“Hmm, not for me,” she said, “What I’ve always wanted was to be a real bombshell. I’m so sick of meeting the standard Asian stereotype, short, tiny boobs-”
“Bad driver,” Brandon added.
“Fuck you,” Rachel punched him in the shoulder, “Shut up, I drive better than you do!”
“What about you, Brittany,” Dave asked realizing he was getting all the info he needed. “Have you ever dreamed of having a body like mine?” Dave flexed his arm and as he did he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Jackie bit her lower lip while she watched his pulsing biceps expand.
“Well,” Brittany said, “I’d be lying if I said I never thought about possessing that kind of power, sort of like Gannon seeking the tri-force, but to be honest I’ve always loved being the nerdy girl that I am. Geeks are sexy, and besides I’m pretty proud of my body. Even my breasts, though there are times I wish the girls were a little bigger-”
“Jeez, Rachel interrupted, ”how much bigger could they be?“ Dave could hear the jealousy dripping from Rachel’s words.
”No,“ Jackie added, ”I know what she means. As big as my boobs are there are times I wish they were, like, mega-super sized or something. The attention can be addicting.“
”Right,“ Brittany agreed. ”In the end, though I would like to be a little stronger. Then I could bridge the divide between geek and jock. Wouldn’t that be cool if I were the nerdiest head cheerleader ever? AND a world class gymnast? AND the top WoW and Halo player in the world?“
David laughed and pulled the wand out of his pocked. ”That’s just what I needed to hear.“
He waved his hand and there was a bright flash of light.
