Raising Spirits

Annie and Tasha sat in the small auditorium, grumbling under their breath. “Remind me again why we’re wasting our time here?” Annie whispered.

“Quiet…at least we’re getting paid for it.”

“Whatever…this place sucks…” Annie leaned back as far as she could in the uncomfortable chairs, and tried to listen.

“You’ll feel more energetic, more bounce to your step, and you’ll feel better about yourself! With just a week of my new meditation and all natural herbal supplements, you’ll be a whole new person!”

“Yah, a poorer one…” Annie whispered to Tasha, who giggled and put her hand over her mouth, blushing.

“You’re gonna get us in trouble!” Tasha hissed, trying to stop giggling. But she had to agree. This whole thing was stupid, it was that new manager at the office. She was all into homeopathic medicine, the power of crystals, and a lot of other nonsense as far as Tasha was concerned. The two of them had been chosen, like it was some kind of honor, to be sent to this place. On the plus side, it was a day off work, and paid as well. The downside was that they had been sitting here for the past two hours, with fifty other women listening to the girl in the stage talk about how wonderful and great her new placebo was. People would believe anything these days…Tasha became aware that it was suddenly a bit quiet in the auditorium, and she shook her head to bring herself back to reality. The girl on stage was staring at her in an expectant way, as were a lot of the audience. Tasha nudged Annie who was engrossed in some game on her cell phone, and looked around.

“As I was saying,” the speaker said, “I was looking for some people to show my wonderful treatment, and since you two seem to be a pair of Doubting Thomasines, I figured that you would be the best to show it off! Come on up!”

Tasha felt the blush coming to her cheeks, and glanced to Annie, who was trying to shrink down into her chair.

“Should we go up there?” Annie whispered.

Tasha looked at the expectant audience and sighed. “I guess so. Let’s go…” The two of them got up and walked down the row of chairs towards the stage.

“Glad to have you up here!” the speaker said, her bright perfect smile almost dazzling the pair of them. “Now, you just follow my assistants over there, they’ll get you ready, and then you’ll see how well my new system works!” Annie and Tasha let themselves be lead offstage by two girls, and brought to two small dressing rooms. “Just change into the clothes in there, and we’ll bring you back out, don’t worry, you’ll love it! I know I did!”

Annie smiled stiffly, and walked into the room. It was nice, as dressing rooms went. Just a few hooks and a bench. Folded up neatly on the bench was a pile of clothes. No, she corrected herself, only one clothes, a bodysuit to be specific. It was made out of some kinda stretchy spandex stuff, but it felt nice. With a shrug, she quickly pulled off her clothes, and slid into the bodysuit. It took a bit of doing, as it was all one piece. She had to crawl in through the neck, and pull it up over herself. It was snug, and a nice purple color. It fit alright, not too tight, but enough to show off her curves, what few she had. She had always been slender, but the past few years had been kind, in a way. She had put on weight at the office, but most of it went straight to her hips and chest. Maybe a bit too much to her hips, but she was alright with it. Annie opened up the door and walked out, grinning self consciously.

“Ohhh, you look great!” One of the assistants gushed. “It really looks good on you!”

“Hehe, thanks...” Annie looked at herself in the mirror and ran a hand down her side. “Tasha? You ready yet?”

“Almost…It’s a bit small…” Tasha walked out in a dark blue bodysuit. And she was right, it was too small. Or Tasha was too big.

“Damn girl!” Annie laughed. “Where’ve you been hiding those things?” Tasha blushed and self consciously adjusted the top of her clothes. “I dunno…” she mumbled.

“How big are they anywho?” Annie said, grinning at her friend’s embarrassment.

“Umm…last time I checked, 40 DD.” Tasha said, a slight grin on her face.

“Dang! I never knew that.”

“Well, you’d be amazed what a well-fitted shirt and a good bra can do…We better get out there, thank goodness there’s no guys.”

The two of them walked back on stage, to a bit of applause. There was already a large padded mat laid out, and the speaker was standing there in a similar bodysuit with a huge smile on her face. “You two look great! We’re ready to begin. First, drink this. It’s my special herbal blend, all natural, totally harmless. It’ll help relax you.”

Annie looked at the brownish green liquid and took a sniff. It smelled alright, a bit earthy, but she’d drank worse things at juice bars. She took a sip and glanced at Tasha. “It’s not bad...” She quickly swallowed the rest, a slight grimace on her face.

“Ok you two, now, the fun part! Sit on the pad, and follow my lead.”

They sat down in what Annie cynically thought of as the traditional meditation position, and closed their eyes.

“Now, I want both of you to take a deep breath…inhale slowly, and then slowly let it out…” They did these breathing exercises for a short while, and after a few minutes Annie had to admit she was feeling more relaxed and calm. Her suit was feeling a bit tight, but that was probably her imagination. “Ahh, I can see it’s working!” the voice of the speaker said. “How do you two feel?”

“Pretty calm actually.” Annie said.

“Yah, same here. My suit feels a bit tight though.” Tasha said, shuffling slightly.

“Don’t worry, that’s definitely normal! But your suits have a lot of give, so you’ll be fine.”

“Huh? What do you mean, that’s normal?” Annie felt a slight gurgle from her stomach.

“Well, it’s normal for this!” The speaker was still transmitting cheerfulness in the megawatt range, but there was a hint of uncertainty.

“What do you mean, this?” Annie felt another gurgle and reached down to feel her stomach. Her eyes snapped open when her hand hit a soft wall, much sooner than she had thought. “What in the…” her words trailed off as she looked down. Her purple suit was bulged outwards, what looked like a basketball was down her front. She wordlessly poked the bulge and felt belly. “How…what…”

“What’s going on AnnieeEEE!” Tasha’s question turned into a cry of surprise as she looked down at herself. Her boobs seemed to be getting bigger before her eyes, and her belly was keeping pace quite nicely. “What’s happening to me?”

“Now, don’t panic! This is all normal. Just try to relax.” The speaker said.

“Normal? I’m blowing up like a balloon! What’s happening?” Annie said, squeezing her belly, feeling the pressure and feeling herself rising off the ground slightly as her butt began to swell.

“Well, how do you feel? Still calm?”

“Calm? How could I feel calm!”

“Well, are you? You should still be calm.”

Annie looked at the speaker in shock, and then tried to think about how she felt. The shock was still there, but it was rapidly fading, as a sense of calmness rose up.

“Umm…well, maybe a little. How big am I going to get?”

“Oh, quite a bit! Don’t worry, this is just the first stage! Kinda a warning shot if you will.”

“Ohh…” Tasha said, both hands squeezed on her belly. “I feel funny…” With a yelp of surprise, she started to swell faster. It looked like someone had hooked her up to an air tank, the way her boobs were growing.

“Hmm…she must have a very quick metabolism. You’ll be feeling that way in just a minute…”

“Feel what way?” Annie said, in a shocked voice as she watched her friend grow like a balloon. Her belly was already the size of a large beachball, and her boobs were squeezed together in her bodysuit, they had to be the size of basketballs, if not bigger. “Ohh…my tummy…” Annie pressed her hands to her stomach and felt a violent gurgling. With another cry, she felt her belly surge outwards, pushing her hands apart as it swelled. She could feel the pressure inside of her, forcing her boobs outward, swelling her butt as she grew. She could even feel it filling her arms and legs, as they began to straighten out from her sitting position. The pressure wasn’t dying down either, it kept on increasing, and seemingly making her grow faster. She risked a glance over at Annie, and couldn’t believe her eyes. She was a bloated parody of herself, like an overinflated balloon, her belly sticking out in front of her, at least three feet around, and her massive breasts barely held in by the bodysuit. Her arms were huge as well, and she was visibly having problems moving them. Tasha cried out again, as she tried to walk forward, but her body was too big to do more than slowly waddle. She was even having problems with that, when she suddenly left the ground. “I’m floating! Help me! Get me down!” Tasha cried, but everyone was just watching in mute amazement as her arms and legs begin to be enveloped by her body. She was rapidly becoming more spherelike, save for her boobs, which still jutted out in front of her, like massive balloons, more than two feet across. With a yelp, Tasha stopped, or at least hit the ceiling, looking down over the crowd. Annie realized at this moment that her feet were no longer touching the ground. She screamed as well, but the movements of her arms only caused her to rotate, her body slowly twisting, until she was face down over the crowd. She felt a bump on her butt, or at least where it used to be, and felt her arms get sucked into her massive body.

She looked down over the crowd, and to the speaker who was looking at them with a smile. “Now, just relax! You’ll just feel the tension and stress pouring out of you. How are you feeling?”

Annie looked down at the smiling face, and thought for a moment. “Um…pretty good actually…this is kinda comfortable.”

“Yah…it’s a bit weird,” Tasha looked down as best she could. “Ok, VERY weird, but it’s like being on a huge air-mattress. All comfort and warm.” Tasha giggled and flapped her hands. “Looks like we’ll be recommending this to our boss.”

The speaker’s face lit up. “Hey, thanks! For that, I’ll give you guys a free three month supply of the Herbal drink!”

“Um…say…” Annie said, trying to wiggle herself into a new position. “What would happen if you drank more than a glassful of the stuff?”

“Well, you’d get bigger, depending on how much you drank, you’ve gotta be careful to just drink one serving.”

“So, if I drank two, I’d get twice as big?”

“Well, yes! So be careful! If you drink too much, you could get really really huge! You’ll shrink down in about 2 hours though, so don’t worry!”

Tasha leaned over to Annie as best she could and whispered, “Why did you ask that?”

“Well, you know Tammy?”

“From the office? Yah, she always steals stuff out of the Fridge….”

“After we get back, she won’t be able to say it wasn’t her!” Annie said with a laugh, and closed her eyes. It really was rather relaxing.
