Tina smiled nervously as she darted around her tiny apartment kitchen, quickly finishing up the dishes that she was preparing for dinner. She usually didn’t get quite so into cooking, considering it a necessary evil, but today was a special occasion and called for a little celebration.

 

Today was the one year anniversary of when she had started dating her boyfriend Corey.  The two of them had hit it off immediately, due in large part to his being so insightful.  She was normally very shy with boys but he’d seen through her shy exterior and had been patient enough to let her emerge at her own comfort.  They’d remained together since, even moving into this apartment together two months ago.

 

“I hope he likes this,” Tina told herself, uncertain of her own skill.  After all, she wasn’t very good at cooking.  “What if he doesn’t like it?”

 

Tina quickly glanced to the door and then the clock, knowing that Corey would be home soon.  It was a Saturday so neither of them had classes at the college today, but Corey did have to put in a few hours at his Pizza delivery job.  Thankfully, he was taking off the time so that they could have a nice romantic dinner together.

 

“At least I didn’t have to go in to work today,” Tina mused, thinking about her own part time job where she worked at a clothing store.

 

Then Tina quickly went and checked her appearance in the small mirror that hung on the living room wall as a decoration. She wanted to make sure that she looked good before Corey returned, or at least as good as she could look.

 

Tina sighed at the sight of her reflection, wishing she could be a little more impressive.  As it was, she was a twenty-two year old college student who was anything but a knock-out.  She was only 5 foot 2, with barely any curves worth speaking of.  In fact, she was so petite that more than once she’d been mistaken as still being a high school student…or one time…a junior high student.

 

“At least Corey loves me for who I am,” Tina mused, nervously running her hand through her mousey brown hair which she normally kept in a pony-tail, though not tonight. Tonight she was actually wearing it free. In spite of knowing that he did love her, she couldn’t help but momentarily wondering why or what she could have done to deserve it.

 

Then the front door opened and Corey stepped inside, greeting her with a cheerful, “Hi honey, I’m home…”

 

“Welcome back,” Tina exclaimed, staring at her handsome boyfriend who somehow managed to pull off appearing both athletic yet somewhat geeky at the same time.  Then she rushed over to give Corey a hug and kiss.

 

Tina felt absolutely tiny next to Corey since he stood 6 foot 1, nearly a full foot taller than her.  However, having his strong arms wrapped around her made her feel safe and protected.

 

“How was work?” Tina asked Corey, only then noticing that he was holding a present.

 

“It was all right,” Corey answered with a shrug, running his hand through his dark hair.  He gave her an easy grin and said, “Some frat guys were having a party and ordered a bunch of pizzas.  They didn’t tip much but they did ask if I wanted to stay for some beer…”  Then Corey gave her another kiss and added, “I had to tell them that I had a much more important party.”

 

"Well I'm just glad you're back," Tina told Corey.  "I made your favorite..."  Then she blushed and muttered, "Sort of...  I just hope you like it..."

 

Corey looked at the chicken parmesan which was sitting on their table, thinking that it looked just a little burnt.  However, he didn't want to hurt Tina's feelings at all so told her, "It looks great."  Then he held up the nicely wrapped present he'd brought with him and said, "I brought you a little something.  I thought that you might like this even more than flowers or chocolate."

 

Tina eagerly accepted the present which was about the same size as a shoe box, just a little longer.  She tore off the wrapping paper and revealed a rather plain looking wooden box, albeit one that was obviously old and well taken care of.  She ran her hands across the dark wood, excited to see what was inside.

 

"I really hope you like this," Corey told her, obviously impatient to see her reaction though doing his best to hide it.

 

Then Tina opened the box and stared inside, letting out a gasp of amazement as she saw the contents.  Inside the box there was a beautiful, though old fashioned flute which was sitting on a black velvet cloth.  The flute looked as though it was even made out of silver, something which probably increased its monetary value a great deal.  Of course, its value to Tina was far greater than that since Corey had given it to her.

 

Tina carefully reached for the flute and held it up, almost afraid that she’d drop it and break it.  She staring at it intently and realizing that this had to be an antique.

 

"This has been in my family for several generations," Corey told Tina, smiling at the look of awe on her face.  "It used to belong to my great grandma...quite an impressive woman.  I think her great aunt gave it to her, but I'm not really sure."

 

"It's gorgeous," Tina whispered, not taking her eyes from the flute.  Then she looked up at Corey with a guilty look and asked, "But isn't this a family heirloom?"

 

Corey hesitated a moment before saying, "It is, but for some strange reason it can only be used by women.  Whenever a man tries using it, it won't even make a sound.  There are only two women in my family right now, my sister Beth and my aunt Jenna.  However, neither of them is interested in music like that...at least not in learning to play.  Neither of them really wanted it.  I thought it should go to someone who would appreciate it and I remember you saying that you used to play the flute back in high school and how much you missed it."

 

"I do miss playing," Tina admitted self-consciously. "I could never afford to buy a flute of my own though and could only use one I borrowed from the music department..."  Then she frowned, "But shouldn't this stay in your family anyway?"

 

"It is," Corey told her, silencing her with a kiss and reminding her of his intentions as well as their agreement.  Corey had never come out and asked her to marry him, but he had made his intentions clear.  However, they'd both agreed that there would be no serious talk of marriage until after they'd both graduated from college.  Of course, once Corey did officially ask her, she fully intended to accept.  "Now go ahead and try it."

 

Tina wiped the flute's mouthpiece to make sure it was clean and then hesitantly brought it to her lips.  She glanced to Corey self-consciously, afraid that she'd embarrass herself with her playing.  After all, she hadn't played in several years and never for him.  What if he didn't like it?

 

Then Tina began to play, delighting herself at how nice and clear the notes sounded.  Everything came back to her in a flash and she was playing a tune that she'd spent hours practicing for a school concert back in high school.  However, she was amazed that it sounded even better than it had been then, even though it had been a long time since the last time she'd practiced.

 

"Beautiful," Corey told her when she was finished.  "You sounded fantastic."

 

"Thank you," Tina blushed in response.  "It was easier than I expected...almost like the flute was half playing itself."

 

Corey just chuckled at that before saying, "Who knows, though there is something strange about that flute.  I've tried playing it several times but it won't even make a single peep for me."

 

"I didn't get you anything near this good," Tina told Corey with a sigh.  "But I'll tell you what...  After dinner I'll try to show you just how grateful I am for this..."

 

"That sounds great to me," Corey told her, giving her a kiss before sitting down at the table.  "I can't wait."

 

--------------------

 

Tina sat all alone in her apartment, feeling tired from a long and frustrating day but not being quite ready for bed.  She sighed, thankful that at least the day was done and over with.

 

Earlier in the day, Tina had accidentally left a thesis paper back at the apartment and hadn’t been able to turn it in on time.  She could still turn it in tomorrow but the delay would mean a small point reduction on her grade from it.

 

And as if that hadn’t been bad enough, when she’d gone to work after classes, she had been forced to deal with an extremely rude and obnoxious customer.  Tina didn’t mind going into work early on the weekends to open or staying late and closing.  However, the part of her job that she hated the most was dealing with rude customers.  Whenever they started getting pushy and insulting, she felt like she just wanted to curl up and turn invisible.

 

“Too bad Corey isn’t here,” Tina mused to herself, feeling disappointed.  Unfortunately, he was busy delivering pizzas and probably wouldn’t be home until pretty late.  “I just hope he gets enough sleep.”

 

Tina smiled faintly as she thought of Corey and how hard he worked at that part time job.  According to him, his family had some decent money and all of his college tuition had been completely paid for. However, he insisted that he would take care of his rent and food money himself, as a matter of pride.

 

Then Tina turned her attention to the antique silver flute that Corey had given her a few days ago.  She took it out of the box that she kept it in and began to play.  As with the other times she’d played it, it had a beautiful sound and was so easy to play that it almost seemed that it half played itself.  

 

After playing for ten minutes, Tina set the flue back into its box. Then she paused as she noticed something, that the box was a little deeper on the outside than it seemed on the inside.  She ran her hands across the velvet cloth that the flute was set on and realized that it was actually a tray. She pulled it out and found that there was a small space beneath it which contained a thin book.

 

“Sheet music,” Tina mused as she flipped through the book and saw that it contained pages for different tunes.  There were no words written to go with the notes, and there wasn’t even any title at the top of each page which made it difficult to guess what song the music might be.

 

Tina looked over each of the pages for a minute, unable to identify what songs they were.  She absently wondered if these were old songs from Corey’s family, perhaps something that one of them had written.

 

“Let’s see what this sounds like,” Tina mused, looking over the first page as she brought the flute back up to her lips.

 

The music was beautiful but eerie, and after several seconds, Tina began to feel rather strange.  She felt as though her mind had spread out, riding the sound of the music to all those who could hear it.

 

Tina suddenly became aware of two young women who were in the apartment above her own, hearing the music through their open window.  These were two other girls who went to the same college that she and Corey did. And though she couldn’t see them with her own eyes, she could still somehow see them perfectly clear with this other sense that was riding the music.

 

From the strange sense that Tina had, she could see the two women had been talking but then they froze as the music touched them, acting almost as though they'd suddenly gone into some kind of trance.  But then the music did something else, something even stranger than everything else it was doing.  While riding the music, Tina could feel herself going into the women and drawing something from them.  She was so startled by this that she immediately stopped playing.

 

"What's going on?" Tina asked in confusion.

 

Tina suddenly felt afraid of the flute and this strange music, not sure what it was doing but not trusting it. She began putting the flute back into its box but then paused, wondering what it exactly it was doing.  What would it have done if she’d continued to play?

 

Tina left the flute siting there for nearly ten minutes before curiosity got the best of her.  She took the flute to her open window and then began playing the eerily beautiful melody again.  Just seconds later, she felt her senses riding out with the music until she could feel the two women above her again.  They’d come out from whatever trance they’d been in the first time but quickly went back under.

 

As with the first time, the music was starting to reach into the bodies of those two girls and pull something out, something that was being drawn back to Tina and into her body.  To Tina’s surprise, it felt good…very good.  She almost stopped playing…almost.  Instead, she continued playing, enjoying this euphoric sensation that was just on the verge of being orgasmic.

 

Suddenly, Tina realized that something was happening to the two young women though it took a moment for her to tell exactly what it was. Their clothes were becoming looser. And as she watched them through the strange sense that he music provided, she realized that she could sort of feel them shrinking.

 

Tina immediately stopped playing, only to notice that her own clothes were now painfully tight, pinching badly in several places.  She gulped, suddenly feeling afraid again and regretting that she’d ever picked the flute back up.

 

“What’s going on?” Tina exclaimed, staring at the flute as though waiting for an explanation.  However, none came so she nervously put the flute back into the box, setting the book of music on top of it. “This is weird…very weird.”

 

For a moment, Tina just stared at the box, wishing that Corey was home to talk to about this.  However, he wasn’t and she was too tired to wait up for him.  So instead, she took off her shoes, letting out a faint sigh of relief since they were no longer pinching her feet.  The rest of her clothes quickly came off as well, and a few minutes later she climbed into bed, hoping that in the morning everything would all be better.

 

--------------------

 

Tina stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror with a slight frown.  She adjusted her bathrobe, the one she wore every morning while getting ready and which was normally a bit large for her.  However, this morning it actually felt snug.

 

Tina clearly remembered what had happened last night while playing the flute, how she'd sensed the two women in the apartment above her somehow shrinking a little.  Her bathroom was proof that it hadn't just been her imagination.  Normally, when she opened the medicine cabinet, one of the shelves was almost exactly at eye level.  The fact that it was now several inches lower than her eyes was additional proof.

 

"Corey," Tina called out to her boyfriend hesitantly.  She left the bathroom and went into the living room where he was already dressed and ready to leave for class.  "Do I look different?"

 

With a slight wince for fear of having not noticed a new haircut or something similar, Corey began looking her over.  After a moment, he frowned slightly, realizing that something was a little off but he couldn't quite place what it was.

 

"Did you do something with your hair?" he asked hopefully.

 

"No," Tina responded with a sigh.  She stood next to Corey, noticing that he was still much taller than her but not quite as much so.  "Do I seem taller to you?"

 

To Corey's credit, he didn't just laugh and tell her that she was being silly.  He actually took her seriously enough to listen to what she was telling him, regardless of how strange it was.  That was one of the reasons that Tina loved him.

 

"You do look taller," Corey gasped in surprise.  "Just a little...  But that's impossible..."

 

"It was the flute," Tina told him self-consciously.  "It happened last night..."  Then she began to tell him about the strange feelings she had when she'd played the flute, the vision she'd had of the two women shrinking a little, and of how her own clothes had felt tight when she was done.  "So it wasn't just my imagination after all..."

 

"Let's find out for sure," Corey said.  "I'll go get my tape measure..."

 

A few minutes later, they'd measured Tina's height at 5 foot 6, something which shocked her since she'd been 5 foot 2 since she was fifteen years old.  "I grew four inches," she exclaimed in amazement.  "I can't believe it..."  Then she looked to Corey and said, "I'd played the flute and nothing strange happened until I was playing the music..."

 

Corey frowned thoughtfully before saying, "I always knew there was something strange about the flute.  I mean, it won't even made a peep for any guy who tries playing it.  And trust me, I tried."  Then he sighed.  "I guess there's a reason it was only passed down to the women in my family.  I guess maybe it also explains my grandma and great grandma...  In fact, I had a couple great aunts who were pretty impressive too."

 

Tina gave him a blank look and asked, "What do you mean?"

 

"Well, my grandma was a pretty impressive woman," Corey explained.  "She was about my height and really well built..."  He held his hands in front of his chest to indicate what he meant. "When she was younger, she was a model for a bit and then started her own company.  She sold it for a moderate fortune and my family is still living off the money.  It's how my tuition is being paid.  My great grandma was supposedly something else too...being even taller than my grandma and just as well built.  There’s an old family story that she once wrestled a bear…and won.  I know the flute used to belong to her."

 

"Wow," Tina whispered. "But what about your mom?"

 

"It came down through my dad's side of the family," Corey mused.  "I don't think my mom ever touched it."

 

Tina thought about the flute and considered what Corey had told her about it.  In spite of being a little scared of what it had done, she couldn't help but feeling curious as well.  Unfortunately, she still had classes to get to and couldn't afford to dwell on the flute or her new height at the moment.  Instead, she had to focus on finding some clothes that fit since most of hers would now be too tight.

 

After a few minutes, Tina remembered her old roommate Samantha from when they'd roomed together on campus.  When Tina had moved out of their dorm room so that she could move in with Corey, she'd accidentally taken a box of Samantha's clothes with her and had never gotten around to returning them.  Samantha had been a bit taller than Tina, and after trying them on, Tina found that they were a bit loose on her but would definitely do for now.

 

A short time later, Corey left their apartment with Tina leaving only a few minutes after him.  She walked down the hallway, feeling extremely self-conscious about her new height and her ill-fitting clothes as well.  However, she realized that most people probably wouldn't even notice the height since she normally wore wedges to give her a few inches of extra height and today she was wearing her tennis shoes instead.  They weren't flattering, but they were normally a little too large so actually fit pretty comfortably now.

 

Tina was just leaving the apartment building, noticing that as always, the other students living in the building were starting to leave for class as well.  Then she caught sight of the two young women from the apartment above hers, the two from last night.  She gasped slightly as she saw that their clothes were both a little loose.

 

"I can't believe we both lost weight," one of the young women was telling the other. "That diet we started last week is really paying off..."

 

Tina stopped and just stared at the other women as they continued on their way, her mind racing with the realization.  They'd both shrunk while she'd grown, though their clothes didn't look loose enough for them to have each lost four inches.  Instead, it was more like they'd lost two inches each.  Tina remembered the sensation of the music reaching into them, taking something from them and transferring it to her.  It was obviously their height that had been taken and given to her.

 

"I got two inches from each of them," Tina whispered, feeling nervous and excited at the same time.  After all, she'd always wished she was a little taller and now she was.

 

With a shake of her head, Tina continued on her way to class, still thinking about the flute and what it had done.  As she did so, her curiosity continued to grow as she wanted to know more about it, about how it worked and what it could do.  By the time her second class of the day started, she knew that she was going to test it again.

 

When it came time for lunch, Tina knew that now was the perfect time to experiment a little more.  After all, she didn't have any classes immediately after lunch so actually had a two hour period that was completely free.  All she had to do was go back to her apartment to pick up the flute and then she could try it out again.

 

Just then, Tina heard someone call her name.  She turned and saw her friend Kirsten coming towards her.  Tina felt a tiny stab of envy at her friend, a tall and busty blonde who always seemed to draw a lot of male admirers.  It would have been easy to hate Kirsten if she hadn't been so cheerful and friendly.

 

"Hey," Kirsten greeted her.  "Did you get that term paper turned in?"

 

Tina responded with a sigh.  "Yeah, but I'm still mad at myself for forgetting to bring it yesterday.  Now my grade is going to suffer and I can't afford to have my grade in that class get any lower."

 

"I know what you mean," Kirsten agreed.  "Between worrying about that and that bitch Sabrina stealing my boyfriend, I've been a total wreck lately."

 

"Oh," Tina gasped, giving Kirsten a sympathetic look.  "Tom left you for Sabrina?  I thought you two were good..."

 

"Me too," Kirsten admitted sadly.  "This is the third boyfriend she's stolen from me too...  She does it just to show she can, and then dumps them."  Kirsten snorted. "I just hope Tom doesn't expect me to take him back when she does."

 

"Like Roy?" Tina asked, remembering Kirsten's last boyfriend who'd left her for Sabrina.  After he'd discovered what a bitch Sabrina was, he'd come begging for Kirsten to take him back, though of course she wouldn't...even after he tried bribing her with some earrings.  "Maybe you'll get more free jewelry out of it."

 

Kirsten shrugged and told her, "I'd rather keep the boyfriends."

 

Tina just shook her head.  "I just don't understand it.  I mean, you're absolutely gorgeous so why would they leave you?"

 

Kirsten shrugged again before responding, "Maybe because I'm not...easy enough."  Then she abruptly asked, "Hey, do you want to go grab something to eat?  We can continue talking..."

 

"I'm afraid not," Tina told her with a sigh.  "I've already got plans for lunch."

 

"Alright then," Kirsten said with a smile.  "I'll see you later then..."

 

Once Kirsten was gone, Tina felt just a little guilty at brushing her off like that.  However, she was too curious about the flute to wait any longer before playing with it again.  With that, she started towards the parking lot so she could drive back to the apartment.

 

A short time later, Tina was back on campus and in the park area that had been set aside for students to relax in.  She sat under a tree, looking around and noticing that there were other students nearby.  She felt self-conscious as she looked at the other students, feeling embarrassed about the idea of having strangers listen to her play, but her curiosity was strong enough to overcome that.   She felt nervous as she pulled out the flute and opened the book of music, looking over the page again before she cautiously began to play.

 

Tina almost immediately began to feel her senses flowing out with the music again and she watched from this perspective as everyone nearby who heard the sound slipped into a trance.  There were six guys who suddenly went still and five girls.  However, Tina was startled to notice that the music flowed around all of the guys rather than into them as it was doing for the girls.  She felt the music move into the girls and begin drawing something from them and pulling it into herself.  Once she felt that, Tina abruptly stopped playing.

 

For a moment, Tina remained where she was, looking around nervously and seeing that everyone nearby was still acting as though they were in some kind of a trance.  Then she started looking at the women, noticing that none of them looked like they'd shrunk at all.  However, Tina couldn't ignore the fact that her own clothes were just a little more snug.  She thought that she must have grown again but there was only one way to tell for sure.

 

Tina took out the tape measure that she'd brought with her, just for this very reason.  She stood up and measured herself, finding that she was now 5 foot 8.  She'd grown another two inches. She felt a surge of excitement at that, then sat back down with a grin.

 

"I'm not short anymore," Tina giggled, feeling almost as though she'd suddenly become a giant.

 

For the next several minutes, Tina remained where she was, watching as the other college students began waking from their trances, acting as though they'd only nodded off for a moment.  However, her attention was mostly on the five girls, none of whom seemed to really show any effects of what had happened though Tina knew good and well she'd taken height from them.  Then it dawned on her.  The last time, she'd absorbed four inches of height from two girls which was spread out to two inches from each of them.  This time she'd absorbed only two inches of height but that two inches had been spread out over all five of them.  They'd each lost a little height but not enough to really be noticeable.

 

"So the more people I use this on at once, the less they donate as individuals," Tina mused.  Then she turned her attention to the men who hadn't donated anything.  Other than falling into a trance, the music hadn't really touched them.  "Corey did say that it didn't work for men...  I guess it doesn't really work on them either."

 

Tina began putting the flute and music book back into the box, grinning to herself as she did so.  Then she paused, staring at the book for a moment and considering the fact that there was more than one piece of music in there.  And if playing the tune from the first page could make her get taller, then what would the music on the other pages do?  Tina grinned even more broadly as she thought about this, deciding that she would definitely have to talk with Corey about that and maybe try them out.

 

--------------------

 

Tina sat in a coffee shop with Corey and Kirsten as the three of them chatted about the various things occurring in their lives.  The thing that Tina really wanted to talk about was the silver flute, though she didn’t want to do that in front of Kirsten.  Kirsten was her best friend, but this flute and what it could do was something else entirely.

 

While they were talking, Tina glanced down at her clothes, all of which fit her comfortably.  She silently thanked the employee discount that she had at the store where she worked.  The new clothes had been a bit expensive, but without that discount they would have been much more so.

 

It had been almost a full week since Tina had reached her new height of 5 foot 8, and unfortunately, she hadn’t had time to try out the other pieces of music in that book.  Corey had wanted to hold off so she could make sure there were no surprise side effects, and it had also been difficult finding a time where they could test he tunes out together.  As curious as Tina was about the music, she wanted Corey to be there when she tried it out.

 

“I still don’t get why you didn’t tell me about this,” Kirsten said, looking vaguely disappointed.  “I mean, you go to a doctor to get hormone treatments and you don’t say a word…”

 

Tina blushed self-consciously as she went along with the lie.  She and Corey knew that they had to explain her sudden six inch growth spurt somehow and had come up with the story that she had been receiving experimental hormone treatments to help her grow a little more.  So far it had worked quite well.

 

“I mean, four inches in just a couple weeks,” Kirsten said, shaking her head. “Unbelievable…”

 

Tina just smiled nervously at that, thinking that Kirsten would be even more surprised if she’d known that it was six inches over two days.  However, Tina had fudged the amount she’d actually grown when telling others so that it would explain the growth but wouldn’t seem quite as extreme.  No one else seemed to have noticed the discrepancy in how much she’d actually grown.

 

“They really want to keep a low profile,” Corey told Kirsten.  “This treatment doesn’t exactly have FDA approval yet.”

 

Kirsten gasped. “Are you sure it’s safe?”

 

“Fairly sure,” Corey assured her.

 

“I’ll stop as soon as there are any problems,” Tina said quietly.

 

After talking for a few more minutes, Corey told Kirsten, “It was nice talking with you again but Tina and I have some plans.”

 

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” Tina told her friend with a nervous smile as they got up to leave.

 

A short time later, Tina and Corey arrived at a nearby park that was off the campus.  There were a number of people scattered about though there was also enough room for Tina and Corey to feel like they weren’t being crowded.

 

“This should be perfect,” Corey said as Tina took out the flute and the music book.  Then he looked to Tina and grinned, “Let’s take it easy at first…just figure out what each type of music does.”

 

“All right,” Tina agreed.

 

Tina looked at the first page which had given her six extra inches of height and then smiled.  She really enjoyed the fact that she was no longer the shortest person in the room and wondered what these other pieces of music might give her.

 

After a moment of nervous hesitation, Tina began to play the notes on the second page.  She felt her awareness beginning to spread out with the music but then noticed that Corey had gone into a trance beside her, causing her to abruptly stop.

 

“Corey?” she asked cautiously, waving a hand in front of his face though he didn’t even blink.  She gently pushed him and then he blinked and shook himself out of it.

 

“Let me guess,” Corey said with a sigh. “I went into a trance like you said everyone else does.”  When Tina nodded, he said, “Well, I was hoping I could hear this music but I did come prepared.”  With that, he pulled some ear plugs out of his pocket and put them in before indicating that she should continue.

 

Tina began playing again and felt her awareness spread out with the music.  More than a dozen people nearby slipped into trances though only seven of them were women. Then Tina felt the music pulling something out of them, something that she focused on very intently so she could feel what it was.  Only then did she stop.

 

“You don’t look like you grew any taller this time,” Corey said as he took out his ear plugs.

 

“I didn’t,” Tina told him with a smile.  “But I do feel more…confident.”  She blushed, sure that it was confidence that she’d taken from those seven women, though she hadn’t played long enough to take very much.  “I think this second page of music takes confidence.”

 

Tina thought that she could definitely use some more confidence and was tempted to play the second piece of music again.  However, she was curious about the other pages and wanted to find what they could do for her first.

 

Next, Tina tried the third page, feeling a surge of excitement as she felt what it was that she was taking from those other women.  She played only long enough to get a good feel for what it was and then stopped.

 

“I think I like that one,” Tina told Corey with a bright blush.  At his blank look, she whispered, “I think my breasts got bigger…”  She looked around nervously and then felt her chest, feeling extremely self-conscious as she did so.  “I think I got a cup larger…”

 

Though Tina felt a little embarrassed about this, she also felt a thrill of excitement.  She’d always hated being so petite, being so short and flat chested.  Now she was no longer short so it only seemed appropriate that she get bigger breasts as well.

 

“I want to do that one again,” Tina said with a blush.

 

“It might be a good idea not to be too greedy at once,” Corey told her.  He stared at her chest and grinned, obviously looking forward to seeing her use that one again as well.  “If you keep going through big growth spurts all at once, then people might get a bit suspicious about the hormone treatment story.”

 

Tina nodded reluctantly at that and then tried the next piece of music, one which suddenly made her feel more awake and energetic, almost as though she’d had a cup of coffee.  That one gave her their vitality and stamina.

 

A minute later, Tina exclaimed, “This one increases my determination and willpower…”  Then she grinned at Corey and added, “I think it’s getting easier to tell what I’m getting from them.”

 

“Maybe we should move on to another location,” Corey told her, gesturing to the people who were all still entranced around them.  Two more women had wandered into range and had become donors as well.  “It isn’t fair to keep draining these people…even if you don’t take enough for any of them to really notice it.”

 

With that, Tina and Corey got up and moved to the other side of the park where people were wandering around without being entranced.  They settled down into a comfortable position and then Tina began to play again.

 

“That one improved my voice,” Tina said thoughtfully, her voice sounding just a little stronger and sweeter.  “I bet if I kept using that one, I’d be a great singer…”

 

“If you could remember all the words to the songs,” Corey teased her gently. “I’ve seen you try singing before. You always get half the lyrics wrong.”

 

“Well, that last one transfers intelligence,” Tina told him a little smugly. “I bet it will improve my memory too…”

 

“Okay,” Corey mused as he flipped through the book.  “We’ve still got about half of these yet to try.”

 

When Tina finished with the next tune, she exclaimed, “That one gave me some of their strength...”  She frowned and looked around, pouting as she realized that there was nothing to test any increased strength again.

 

“You don’t really look any stronger,” Corey pointed out.

 

Tina shrugged. “I don’t think it gave me their muscles or anything…just their strength.”

 

While Tina was playing the next piece of music, Corey gasped as he finally noticed a physical change, though it was subtle.  As he watched, several acne scars on her face cleared up and vanished. Her complexion improved a little right before his eyes.

 

“That one was for beauty,” Tina exclaimed with a grin when she was done playing.  There was a gleam in her eyes which revealed how eager she was to try that one out again.

 

Tina played the next three tunes in a row, not really stopping as she shifted from one to the next.  When she was done with those ones, she paused with a gasp.

 

“Wow,” Tina said, blushing brightly.  It took Corey a minute to coax her to explain what those three pieces of music did. Tina just blushed even more brightly before admitting, “One of them is…sensuality. I guess it makes me feel and act sexier.  I think the second improves my…my erogenous feelings.  My ability to feel sexual pleasure and orgasms…”

 

“Wow,” Corey repeated, grinning mischieviously.  “That should be fun…  What about the third one?”

 

“That one improves my overall body shape,” Tina told him.  “You know, things like the shape of my legs, my butt, my waist…”

 

“And you have a separate one for breast size?” Corey asked with a chuckle.

 

Tina just blushed brightly. “That one makes my breasts bigger...and I think this one would make them firmer and improve their shape.”

 

“And it looks like there’s just one more,” Corey said, looking through the music book again.  “Thirteen tunes total.  If these weren’t all so awesome, I’d almost take that as a bad omen.”

 

Tina giggled and told Corey, “I don’t think there’s anything bad about this.”  Then she raised the flute to her lips again and began to play the last tune.

 

“Well?” Corey asked when she was finished, taking his ear plugs out again.  “What was that one?”

 

Tina hesitated a moment before responding, “Muscle tone.”  She pulled up her sleeve to reveal her arm.  There was actually the beginning of muscle tone when there hadn’t been any before.  “I look like I actually go to the gym now.”  She giggled.  “At least a little.”

 

“Just don’t get too carried away with that one,” Corey told her.  “Being fit is great, but I’ve never liked the whole muscle look on girls…”

 

“Me either,” Tina told him.  “I wouldn’t want to get too much muscles… I mean, I might start looking like a guy.”

 

“Well, now that we know what they all do,” Corey said thoughtfully. “We need to decide what to do with them.”

 

“I want to use them,” Tina told Corey. “I want to get better…”  He could see a gleam of hunger in her eyes. “I want to get prettier, and sexier, and smarter…and maybe even a little taller.”

 

Corey laughed at that though he watched Tina with a hungry look that revealed that he was interested in seeing her improve her body as well.  But then he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

“We’ll have to be careful about it,” he reminded her. “I mean, like I said earlier, if you change too much too soon…then that would cause a lot of problems.  I think you should go slow with those so people don’t get suspicious.”

 

Tina stared at the flute for a few seconds before reluctantly nodding agreement. She knew that he was right but she didn’t have to like it.  Still, she grinned faintly as she considered that some of these things wouldn’t be noticeable at all.

 

--------------------

 

“This should be a good spot,” Corey said, gesturing to a bench at the local mall.  “There are some people around but it’s not the main thoroughfare.”

 

“That sounds good to me,” Tina said with a smile.

 

It had been nearly two weeks since Tina had tested out the capabilities of the flute, and though she’d used it several times since, it wasn’t obvious from looking at her.  She was still 5 foot 8 and hadn’t improved her figure since then.  However, she was dressed to show off her body more than she would have done so before her changes.

 

Corey gave Tina an appreciative look and said, “You know, it’s still a bit strange seeing you dressed like this.”

 

“Well I am a bit bigger up top,” Tina told him, cupping her breasts which had only grown a single cup size since she’d begun using the flute.  “I have more to show off.”

 

“That’s not it and you know it,” Corey responded with a chuckle.

 

“Well, I might have used the flute to take some more confidence,” Tina admitted slyly. “And a bit more sensuality so I like showing off a bit more.”

 

“From the way you were getting into it last night,” Corey mused, “I think you improved your erogenous sensitivity too.”

 

Tina just blushed a little and admitted, “A bit.  Since I couldn’t improve my body without getting too obvious, I had to improve some other things.”

 

Then Tina smiled as she remembered the other day and how Corey had come home and caught her moving the couch on her own. That was how he’d realized she was using the flute to make herself stronger, as well as other things.

 

For a moment, Tina remembered the women she’d gained much of her extra strength from, two women who’d been loud and obnoxious.  They lived in the apartment across the hall from her and after they’d gotten too loud, Tina decided to use them for her experiments.  She’d gotten a little carried away and took perhaps more strength than she’d intended, but she didn’t regret it.

 

“Well,” Tina mused, “I did have to experiment a little more…  Did you know, if I play two tunes back and forth, I can absorb two different traits from the people at the same time.  And if I play the music faster, I can absorb whatever it is I’m taking even faster.”

 

“That sounds interesting,” Corey told her.  “But I was hoping to see it in action again.”  He held out his ear plugs and made a show of putting them in.

 

Tina laughed at that and took her seat on the bench, pulling the flute and music book out of the box.  She took her time as she brought it to her lips and began to play, enjoying the look of eager anticipation on Corey’s face.

 

Seconds later, Tina felt her awareness spread out with the music, touching everyone within hearing.  There were about two dozen people who abruptly stopped where they were and slipped into the trance. Seventeen of them were female and were becoming unwitting donors for her improvements.

 

Tina knew that with this many donors, she could get quite a bit out of them without them even noticing any difference.  However, with this many donors, she’d have to be careful or she might end up absorbing more than she intended.

 

The music drew confidence from the seventeen women and Tina could feel herself growing more confident with every second.  Then she abruptly switched the tune, drawing a little intelligence from each of them.  She could feel her mind and intellect expanding and she was pleased, knowing that this would make her classes much easier, especially since she’d already taken some intellect from one of her teachers after giving her a demonstration with the flute.

 

Though Tina was enjoying these improvements, she knew that this wasn’t what Corey was really looking forward to.  She smiled and began playing two tunes, switching them back and forth so as to gain beauty and improved body.

 

As the energy flowed into Tina, she felt a tingle along her skin as her complexion improved.  Her hair seemed to soften and become a little more luxurious.  At the same time, she felt her ass, legs, and breasts shifting slightly, becoming just a little more shapely.  She would have liked to take more but she didn’t want to be too obvious.

 

After this, Tina played several more tunes, watching the entranced people around her as he did. She felt power and strength flowing into her body, making her nearly gasp from how good it felt. There was no outward sign of this improvement, but by the time she stopped she knew that she’d absorbed enough that she was probably now stronger than Corey.

“You look fantastic,” Corey said once she paused and lowered the flute. He removed the ear plugs and said.  “You’ll probably never need to use makeup again.”

 

“I wouldn’t go that far,” Tina responded with a grin. “At least not yet…”  She gave the flute a hungry look.

 

“Well, what are you waiting for?” Corey asked her with a grin.

 

Tina just grinned back and brought the flute back to her lips with Corey just barely getting his ear plugs in before she began playing again.  The melody spread out, this time drawing in what Corey was really interested in, increased breast size. She let herself only grow two more cup sizes and then reluctantly forced herself to switch tunes, knowing that any larger than that would draw too much attention.  However, she couldn’t resist absorbing a little more height from these women. Another two inches.

 

When Tina was finished playing, she stood up and grinned at how tight her clothes had become, especially across her chest.  She had to be a D cup now, ensuring that she no longer qualified as petite.

 

“I think I’m going to enjoy this,” Tina said, looking down at her now 5 foot 10 and busty body.  “I think I’m going to like this a lot.”

 

“Me too,” Corey responded with a grin.

 

“And I even have the confidence to wear clothes that will show it off,” Tina mused thoughtfully.  Of course, she would have to get a little more sensuality to go with it so that she’d enjoy showing her body off a bit more as well. Her thoughts went to Kimberly, a girl in one of her classes who was a bit of an exhibitionist.  She surely had more than enough to spare.  “I think I know someone who’d enjoy a flute demonstration…”

 

“I just wish it worked for me,” Corey admitted.  He let out a sigh, “I’m actually pretty jealous that I can’t improve too…”

 

“It is too bad,” Tina admitted, feeling sad that Corey couldn’t share this wonderful feeling that she had.  The feeling of growing bigger, stronger, smarter, sexier…  She got a little turned on just by thinking about it.  “I wish I could share it with you.”

 

Unfortunately, they both knew that the flute and music were completely useless to Corey.  He’d tried playing the flute again after their experiment in the park but it hadn’t made a sound for him.  He’d tried playing that music on a different instrument, a normal guitar…but the guitar wouldn’t even make the right notes.  When Tina had tried the guitar as well, she found it wasn’t just Corey. A little experimenting revealed that these songs couldn’t be played on any instrument except for this silver flute.

 

“Maybe there’s another instrument out there that only works for men,” Tina suggested hopefully.  Of course, they both knew that even if such an instrument existed, they had absolutely no idea of where to find it.

Corey shrugged. “I guess I’ll just have to live vicariously through you…”

 

“Well, there are good things about this,” Tina told him with a purr in her voice, pushing her larger breasts outward.  “Let’s go home so we can try out some of these new improvements…”

 

Corey gave her a long and passionate kiss, finding it odd that she was now only three inches shorter than him. Strangely, he found that kind of exciting as well.  He looked to her larger breasts and licked his lips.

 

“We should get out of here before these people starting coming out of it,” Corey told her with a grin. “Good thing that flute does this to people or you might have some problems explaining what’s going on…”

 

“No more talking,” Tina told Corey, surprising herself a bit with how confident she felt saying something like this, something she would have been too shy to say before.  “I think it’s time to go home and try this new body out.”

 

“Sounds great to me,” Corey responded with a broad grin and a bulge in his pants.  He grabbed Tina by the arm and nearly pulled her out of the mall in a hurry.

 

--------------------

 

It was time for lunch, for which Tina was very thankful.  Her pre-lunch classes had all been pretty easy, but they’d also been boring. She was looking forward to sitting down in a nice quiet place and just playing her flute a bit, even though she intended to only play ordinary music for now.

 

“Hey, Tina,” Kirsten called out, catching her attention.  “How’d you do on that big test?”

 

“I did pretty good,” Tina told her, though that was an understatement.  The truth was, she’d aced the test with ease.

 

“I know that calculus is your worst subject,” Kirsten said.

 

Tina just smiled at that and told her, “I’ve been studying…”

 

Of course, the truth was that she’d increased her intelligence until she was now at genius levels.  Between the increased intelligence and the improved memory that came with it, she’d been doing fantastic in all of her classes without any studying at all.

 

Tina smiled even more when she thought about the moment Corey had realized just how smart she was.  He’d been working on some of his own course work and got stuck, then Tina had helped him with it even though it was more advanced than anything she’d done in class.  After that, Tina had been helping Corey a bit more by tutoring him.

 

Then again, as fun as that had been, it was nothing compared to the look on Corey’s face when he realized that she was now stronger than him too.  They’d been wrestling around in bed last night and she’d surprised him by just how strong she had become.

 

Last night had definitely been fun, and not just because she’d been able to overpower Corey and get on top for the first time.  Since she’d begun using the flute, she wanted sex more than ever before and she got a LOT more out of it.  It didn’t take much to get her wet and horny and when she came, she came much more easily than before.

 

“What are you grinning about?” Kirsten asked curiously.

 

“Just thinking about Corey,” she answered with a chuckle.

 

Kirsten nodded and then said, “He must love your growth spurts…”

 

“Oh, absolutely,” Tina told her with a laugh.  She cupped her breasts, still amazed that she was no longer the petite woman she’d been a few weeks earlier.

 

“I can’t believe you’re the same height as me,” Kirsten said with a shake of her head.  “And nearly as big as me too…”

 

“It is a bit to get used to,” Tina admitted.  “The only real downside is how much I’ve been spending on new clothes.  Even with my employee discount, I’ve spent nearly everything I have and I’ve been filling up my credit card.”

 

Tina paused at that, knowing that she was going to have to make some more money, especially if she wanted to improve her body more…and she definitely did. Then she considered her options and a few ideas began to form.  Of course, she might need a few more IQ points to make it work.

 

“Those hormone treatments are doing wonders for you,” Kirsten told her.  “So, how can I get in on this?”

 

“I’m afraid you can’t,” Tina told her carefully.  “They aren’t looking for any more subjects, and even if they were, they wouldn’t be interested in you.  They were only looking for people who were…less than average.  You’re anything but.”

 

“Okay,” Kirsten sighed in disappointment.

 

“But what about you?” Tina asked, eager to change the subject away from the ‘hormone treatment’ story.  She didn’t like lying to her friend and everyone else, but she couldn’t afford to let anyone know about the flute.  “Didn’t you have a date last night?”

 

“I did,” Kirsten responded bitterly.  “Until that bitch Sabrina found out about it and got to him.  He never even showed up…”

 

Tina winced in sympathy at that.  “Ouch!”

 

“I just don’t know why she has such a personal thing against me,” Kirsten complained.

“Probably because she knows you’re even hotter than she is and she feels threatened by it,” Tina mused.  “She’s probably trying to take any guy you’re interested in so that she can convince herself that this isn’t the case.”

 

Kirsten laughed weakly at that, “That’s one twisted compliment.”

 

“I’m just surprised that her sorority never asked you to join,” Tina told her friend. “They’re full of sexy girls…”

 

“They did ask me,” Kirsten admitted.  “I turned them down once I realized that they were all self-centered twits.”  She paused for a moment before adding, “Maybe that’s it.  I insulted them when I turned them down.”

 

Then almost as if on cue, Tina noticed Sabrina walking past.  She was a gorgeous blonde, about the same size that Tina now was.  Sabrina saw them and suddenly smirked, changing direction and coming towards them.

 

“Oh Kirsten, how are you doing?” Sabrina asked with mock friendliness.  “I’m doing fantastic. I met this really hot guy last night…  We really hit it off.”

 

“Now nice for you,” Kirsten responded with a forced smile.

 

Tina couldn’t resist coming to her friend’s defense and saying, “You might want to get tested though. I heard through the rumor mill that he had a thing for tramps and you don’t know what he might have caught from one of them.”

 

Sabrina glared at Tina, noticing for perhaps the first time ever.  Tina used to be so plain that she wasn’t worth the other girl’s attention, but that had obviously changed.  Sabrina glared at her.

 

“And you are?” Sabrina asked with a fake smile.

 

“Tina,” Tina responded. “We’re in economics together.”

 

“Oh yes,” Sabrina said, dismissing Tina. “I’ve got to get going.  I have a new boyfriend to meet up with…”  Then she turned and started to walk away.

 

“Thanks for watching my back,” Kirsten told Tina.  “But you probably shouldn’t have done it. Now she’s got you in her sights. She might decide to try going after Corey…”

 

Tina was startled at that and then looked to where Sabrina was walking away, narrowing her eyes dangerously as she said, “That’s not going to happen.  I’ll see to that.”

 

After saying goodbye to Kirsten, Tina went to catch up to Sabrina and catch her in a place where there would be no interference. She found the perfect opportunity when Sabrina went to the nearby parking lot to get into her car.

 

“She deserves this after what she’s been doing to Kirsten,” Tina told herself.  “Keeping her away from Corey is just a bonus.”

 

And with that, Tina began playing a tune, immediately freezing Sabrina in place.  Tina didn’t even have the book out, having already memorized all thirteen pieces of music within it.  She just smiled and played the tune she wanted.

 

Tina felt extra vitality and stamina flowing into her body, making her smile at how good it felt.  Not only did she savor the sensation she gained anytime she gained some new traits, she also loved feeling more awake and energetic.  With the vitality and stamina she’d already taken, she had been able to skip coffee recently so she wondered what the extra amount from Sabrina would do for it.

 

“I don’t usually like taking enough of anything to be noticeable,” Tina mused aloud.  “But his time I’ll make an exception…”  Then she grinned. “Of course, this isn’t something obvious but maybe now you won’t have enough energy to cause so much trouble.”

 

For a moment, Tina considered taking Sabrina’s breast size, draining nearly all of it. She grinned at the thought of getting bigger but then remembered the agreement she had with Corey. She couldn’t be too obvious about her own growth, and besides that, it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun growing without him there to watch.

 

“Of course, I can still do a little more,” Tina mused.

 

With that, Tina began playing the flute again, this time switching between several tunes.  She took some of Sabrina’s sensuality so she wouldn’t feel or act as sexy from now on and she took some of her sensitivity so that she wouldn’t even enjoy sex as much.  Tina loved how good it felt absorbing that from her.

 

Then Tina couldn’t resist absorbing one more thing from Sabrina, a little of her beauty. Tina was careful not to take too much but as she watched, Sabrina’s hair seemed to lose a little of her luster and her complexion became a little less perfect.

 

“Very nice,” Tina mused, looking over herself and loving how good this felt.

 

Tina hadn’t taken enough of anything from Sabrina to be too obvious, but from what she did absorb, it was likely that Sabrina would just think that she had the flu.  Of course, this was a flu that would never quite go away, leaving Sabrina as less of a threat to herself or Kirsten.

 

A moment later, Tina turned and walked away, wanting to get some distance before Sabrina came out of her trance.  She looked down at herself and smiled, thinking that with her new additions tonight was going to be a lot of fun.

 

“Oh yeah Corey,” she purred to herself, feeling sexier than ever before. “You are going to be one lucky man.”

 

--------------------

 

Tina jumped out of bed, already feeling wide awake and ready to go.  The fact that she’d gone to bed late didn’t even slow her down much, much to her amusement. It used to be that she couldn’t get going in the morning without coffee, but that had definitely changed.

 

“Ugh,” Corey groaned as he got up.  “I think I preferred it before you were a morning person.”

 

Tina just laughed at that, then jumped at him, giving him a passionate kiss.  She’d definitely been much more physical and expressive since she’d begun using the flute, and of course, she got a lot more pleasure out of sex than before as well.

 

“Ready to go?” Tina asked Corey.

 

“After last night, I’m not sure,” Corey admitted.  “You kind of wore me out.”  Then he grinned and added, “Of course, I’m certainly willing to try…”

 

When they were finished a half hour later, Tina cheerfully ran her hand over Corey’s chest.  “That was fun,” Tina told him, giving him another kiss. “You have no idea how good that feels now and how easy it is to get turned on.”

 

“You’re certainly in a good mood,” Corey said.

 

“Of course,” Tina reminded him. “It’s been two weeks since I got these...”  She cupped her breasts.  “It’s time for another upgrade.”

 

“That could be fun,” Corey said, staring straight at her chest with a grin.

 

Tina just smiled at that and responded, “Definitely.”

 

“Another trip to the mall?” Corey asked.  “I know you liked going shopping for new clothes that fit afterwards.”

 

“Not this time,” Tina told him thoughtfully. “I have another destination in mind.  One a little more deserving of my little tunes.”

 

Once they were both dressed and ready, they left the apartment to Tina’s chosen destination.  She didn’t tell Corey where they were going and would only grin as she drove him back towards the campus.

 

A short time later, they arrived at their destination, a large building that served as a sorority house.  Tina knew that Sabrina lived here, in the second floor, third window from the right.

 

“The women of this sorority tend to be…obnoxious,” Tina told Corey.

 

She frowned as she thought about how every woman she’d ever met who was in that sorority was a complete and total bitch.  She wasn’t sure if this was an attitude they encouraged in all their new members or if it was just a prerequisite for joining.

 

“This sounds a little personal,” Corey pointed out carefully.

 

“A little,” Tina admitted.  “Some of their members were really giving my friend Kirsten a hard time.  And since my improvements, they’ve started messing with me too.”

 

After she’d dealt with Sabrina, she thought that would be all.  Unfortunately, several of Sabrina’s friends had picked up for her slack now that she was ‘sick’ and not up to causing as much trouble as normal.  Tina had thought about going after them before this but had decided that it would be more fun waiting until Corey could be there to appreciate it.

 

“Remember,” Corey reminded her, “only a little bit…  You don’t want it to be too noticeable.”

 

“Of course,” Tina responded, rolling her eyes slightly.

 

With that, Corey put his ear plugs in and then Tina began to play.  To start with, she began absorbing their erogenous sensitivity, moaning at how good it felt as it flowed into her.  As her sensitivity increased, absorbing more of it only made her feel even orgasmic. It was all she could do to keep from dropping the flute as the orgasms began hitting her, one after another.

 

“Oh God,” Tina exclaimed, finally lowering the flute and letting her orgasms shake her body.

 

Corey watched her with a hungry look while she just bit her lip, realizing that she’d just taken to much sensitivity and created a problem.  She was so sensitive now that playing just a little would be enough to send her into a series or orgasms.  She wouldn’t be able to control herself enough to keep playing.

 

“Unless,” Tina mused to herself, bracing herself as she brought the flute back to her lips.

 

Tina braced herself for the pleasure that came with absorbing traits from others and tried to fight it a little as she began absorbing the willpower and determination of the nine girls in the sorority who could currently hear the music. With each passing second, it became easier for her to control herself in the face of this unbelievable pleasure.  Her willpower increased a great deal before she finally changed the tune.

 

The next tune that Tina played was the one to absorb some of their intelligence. She knew that she wanted to be smarter for some things she had planned and she didn’t think that anyone would think anything odd about a bunch of sorority girls with little willpower or intelligence.

 

Tina lowered the flute when she was done and closed her eyes, feeling how much her mind had expanded. She’d already been a genius level intellect, but after the amount of intelligence she took from each girl, she was certain that she was now the smartest person on the planet.  She smiled at that, feeling incredibly excited at the very idea.

 

“Perhaps a little strength next,” Tina mused to herself, feeling hungry for more.  She was currently as strong as a strong man but she’d realized that she could become even stronger.  She licked her lips in anticipation, glancing at Corey and adding, “Just a little bit…”

 

A minute later, Tina decided that it was time for the main event, the traits that she’d been waiting two weeks to get more of. She smiled at the steady orgasms that rocked her body, though her self-control kept her from showing any sign of it.  Her breasts began to swell again, pushing out one cup and then two cups larger.

 

And though Tina wanted to continue becoming larger, she forced herself to switch to the last tune she was going to play.  In mere seconds, she felt herself growing larger…taller.  The plan had only been to grow one cup size larger and one inch taller, but after glancing to Corey, she chuckled mischieviously and played just a little more.

 

When Tina was finished playing, she gestured for Corey to remove his ear plugs.  He stared at her in silence, his eyes locking on her chest and admiring how big and firm they were.  Her clothes were straining to contain them in spite the fact that she’d worn clothes that were a bit loose.

 

“You’re tall,” Corey finally said, realizing that he was staring straight into her eyes without having to look down at all.  He glanced to Tina’s feet, seeing that she’d worn tennis shoes. “You’re the same height as me…”

 

“Wow, I guess I am,” she responded with a look of mock innocence.  “I guess I must have accidentally taken a couple more inches than I planned…”

 

Corey gave her a skeptical look at that. “Of course…an accident.  But growing three inches is a bit more obvious than a single inch…”

 

“I’ll wear flats for a week or so,” Tina responded with a smile. “It’s what I did after the last time.”

 

“You know,” Tina mused as she put her flute back into the box.  “I noticed something strange…”  At Corey’s curious look, she continued, “I was calculating the amount of energy I absorbed from those girls compared to the amount my breasts and height increased.”

 

“Okay,” Corey encouraged her to continue with a slightly confused look.

 

As they walked back to the car, Tina explained, “By the amount of breast size I removed from those girls, I should have grown another cup size larger.  In fact, I noticed a similar effect with the other traits I absorbed.  I should have gained another inch of height as well. It appears that there is a diminishing effectiveness to the flute’s transference…”

 

“In English please,” Corey told her with a sigh.  “Some of us didn’t suddenly become geniuses…”

 

“Sorry,” Tina told him, apologizing by giving him a kiss.  “What I mean is that the more I use the flute, the less effective the transfers seem to be. Some of what I take appears to get lost in the transfer and I think the percentage lost will slowly increase.  If that continues, then eventually I’ll reach a point where I can keep absorbing traits but won’t get any more improvements.”

 

“That’s interesting,” Corey mused, not seeming too bothered by that possibility.

 

“I was also thinking,” Tina told him thoughtfully. “With as much as I’ve been having to buy new clothes, I’m in need of more money. I was thinking getting into investing…”

 

“Investing?” Corey asked, looking a little surprised.

 

“I’ve been reading into it,” Tina explained.  “I think that with my improved intellect and memory, I’ll be able to spot investment patterns and good stocks pretty easily.  In fact, I’m certain I’ll be able to make this profitable pretty quickly…”

 

“Oh,” Corey responded with a weak smile. “That’s pretty cool. You’ll be rich in no time.”

 

“No,” Tina told him with a grin. “WE will be rich in no time.”  Then as they reached the car, she handed him the box with the flute in it and said, “Before we go, there’s something I want to try…”

 

Tina grabbed the front end of her car and grunted, lifting it so that the front wheels came up of the ground.  It took a bit of effort, but she was able to do it.

 

“Holy shit,” Corey exclaimed.  “Damn you’re strong…”

 

“You know it,” Tina responded with a smirk, pulling her sleeve back and flexing her bicep.  “Admittedly, my muscle doesn’t really look all that impressive.  But to be honest, who needs the muscle when you can get the strength without it.”  Then she paused to mused, “But maybe it wouldn’t hurt to get just a little bit more muscle tone…  Not much though.  I do NOT want to look all buff like some bodybuilder…”

 

“No,” Corey told her awkwardly, “I’d rather you didn’t…”

 

Tina just grinned at that and then grabbed Corey, holding him tight in her strong arms and giving him a passionate kiss which he returned just as passionately.  It was fun being the exact same height as Corey and she knew that she was going to enjoy this as well as her bigger breasts.

 

“Let’s get back home,” Tina told Corey quietly.  “You would not believe how horny I am after that and I REALLY need you to help me with that.”

 

“That sounds great to me,” Corey responded with a grin.  But as they climbed back into the car, Tina missed the worried look which crossed his face.  “I can’t wait to see your new assets more closely…”

 

--------------------

 

When Corey woke up, he found Tina already up and hard at work on the computer.  Without a word, he got up and went to watch her for a minute, seeing her typing fast and staring intently.

 

“Good morning,” Tina said, looking up at him and grinning.

 

“You’re up early,” Corey muttered with a loud yawn.  “Then again, you’re always up pretty early anymore.  I kind of miss being the one who’d wake up first…”

 

“I don’t sleep very well anymore,” Tina admitted with a shrug.  “It’s one of the few downsides of all this…”  She gestured down at herself and grinned.  “I just have too much energy now.”

 

Corey came and gave her a kiss, still marveling at the strangeness of her being the same height as him.  It had been three weeks since her last growth spurt and a part of him still kept thinking that he should have to bend down to kiss her.  Of course, her now busty chest was certainly a very nice addition and he stared at it for a moment.

 

“Working on your investments again?” Corey asked.

 

Tina shook her head.  “No, I checked on those earlier and did a little more research.  They’re coming along quite well, even though our initial investment wasn’t as large as I would have liked.”  She paused, remembering how she’d had to acquire some more money for that initial investment.  A trip to the casino and some careful card counting had definitely helped with that.  “We’ve already increased our money by over four hundred percent and before long we’ll be making enough that I can withdraw some of it for spending.”

 

Corey yawned and then staggered to the kitchen for coffee, thankful that Tina had already made a pot.  Then he came back, asking, “So what are you working on now?”

 

“Just doing a little research,” Tina told him, showing that she was logged into the university online library and had been going through some of their digital books.  The one she was currently open to ‘Advanced Theories of Quantum Physics’.

 

Corey just shook his head, not too surprised.  Lately, Tina had been getting curious about a lot of different topics which would have been way over her head before.  And though she didn’t brag about this, he couldn’t help but feeling a bit like an idiot in comparison.

 

“Maybe tonight we can go out dancing,” Tina suddenly exclaimed with an eager grin.  “Since I’m going to get some more improvements today, I’m going to want to show them off…”

 

“Okay,” Corey told her, not quite as enthusiastically as she might have expected.  “But remember what happened when we went out to karaoke last week…”

 

Tina just laughed at that.  “I won the entire contest and that music agent offered me a record contract…”

 

“That was after you used the flute to take some of the voice talent of every woman in the place,” Corey reminded her.

 

“There were thirty one women there,” she admitted smugly.  “I didn’t take too much from any of them…”

 

“But now you sing like an angel,” Corey said.  “It was hardly fair to anyone else.”

 

“And do you have a problem with that?” Tina asked in her sexy voice, a voice which now sent a shiver of lust down his body.  Ever since she’d absorbed all that voice power, she’d been able to do some interesting tricks when she talked to people.  In fact, she’d become extremely good at convincing people to do whatever she wanted.

 

“Not at all,” Corey responded with a gulp.

 

Tina just smiled at that, then looked down at the bulge in the front of Corey’s shorts and her smile increased.  “Let’s get that taken care of shall we?”

 

Then Tina grabbed Corey for a passionate kiss, already maneuvering him towards the bed.  She got turned on incredibly easily anymore and it was only her superhuman will power which kept her from a near constant masturbation session.  This meant that Corey got more sex than ever before in his life.

 

Several hours later, Corey finished going over some work for one of his classes while Tina sat in the corner playing the flute.  She wasn’t playing one of the special tunes, just a normal one that she liked.  Tina played the flute every day, though most of the time she played it for its musical properties rather than the magical.

 

Tina set the flute down and eagerly asked, “Are you about ready?”  Her eyes sparked with excitement as she added, “I can’t wait to get bigger…”  She cupped her breasts and stared at Corey with a smirk.  “In just a little while, I’ll be even taller than you.”  She shook her head, “Hard to believe that petite me would change this much…”

 

“Sure,” Corey told her, putting away his work and getting up.  He gave her a smile that was a little on the weak side.

 

Tina stared at Corey, realizing that he wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic about this as she was.  In fact, he’d shown a very distinct lack of enthusiasm over some of her improvements during the last week or two.  She’d even caught him looking at her with a worried expression on several occasions.

 

“What’s wrong?” Tina asked gently, being careful not to put too much force into her voice.  She’d be able to get him to do whatever she wanted that way but faced the risk that he’d resent it afterwards.  “I know that something about this is bothering you…”

 

It took a minute of gentle coaxing before Corey reluctantly admitted, “The way you keep improving does bother me a bit…  I mean, you keep getting bigger, stronger, sexier, and smarter…and I’m still the same.”  He gave her an almost guilty look as he said that.

 

“You’re…jealous,” Tina whispered in realization, suddenly feeling guilty for not having noticed it sooner.

 

She had been so caught up in how great her new improvements were and how much she’d loved them that she hadn’t thought about what it would be like for Corey to watch her improve while not being able to do so himself.  It would have to be even harder for him, knowing that this was his family legacy and she was the one getting all the benefits, or at least all the direct benefits.

 

“I guess I am,” Corey admitted self-consciously.  “At least a bit…  But it’s more than that.  You’re already stronger and smarter than me…and you’re only getting more so.  You’re already a little intimidating now…”

 

“I intimidate you?” Tina gasped in horror.  The idea of Corey becoming afraid of her was something she hadn’t considered at all and was about the last thing she wanted.  “I’d never do anything to hurt you…”

 

“I know,” Corey told her gently, putting a hand on her shoulder to comfort her, which she thought was rather ironic considering what they were talking about.  “I know you’ve never hurt me but…  You’ve already gained so much…have become much more than before.  You’re going somewhere I can’t go and you’re leaving me behind.”

 

Tina stared at Corey for a moment before saying, “Corey…”

 

She stared into his eyes, having to fight back the impulse to use her voice to sooth all of his concerns away.  Fortunately, her iron willpower allowed her to keep from doing so.  Manipulating Corey like that might make things easier for her but she didn’t want to do that to him.

 

“Don’t get me wrong,” Corey said with a wry smile.  “Watching you get sexier is awesome…  I never would have thought it, but watching you get more powerful is actually kind of a turn on.  It’s almost like watching you turning into a super hero or something…”  Then he paused with a sigh, unable to look at her as he admitted, “But I just can’t keep up with you anymore and our difference in levels is only going to keep increasing.  How much longer before you start thinking of me as short, weak, and stupid because I can’t keep up with you in anything?”

 

For a moment, Tina could only watch Corey and think about how difficult this was becoming for him.  She’d always thought of him as the big, strong, and confident one, but now she realized that was no longer the case.  He was no longer the one who was bigger and stronger, nor did he have infusions of extra confidence to bolster his own the way she did.

 

“Before this,” Tina asked gently, wanting to be careful so as not to hurt Corey’s pride any further.  “Did you ever look down on me because I was shorter and weaker than you?”

 

“No,” Corey told her with a wry smile.  “That didn’t really matter.  I love you…”

 

“And I love you,” she told him.  “That’s not going to change just because other things about me do.  If you loved me when I was weaker than you…can you still love me when I’m stronger?”

 

“I do still love you,” Corey responded.  “I’m just afraid that sooner or later, you won’t want to be with me anymore.”

 

“I used to love it when you held me,” Tina said quietly. “You were so big and strong but you didn’t intimidate me.  Instead, you made me feel safe and protected.”  She gave Corey a weak smile and admitted, “That’s something I actually miss about being petite.  I was kind of thinking that it might be nice if I could make you feel like that someday…”

 

Tina sighed and went over to the flute, picking it up and staring at it for a moment.  “I love how good this feels to use,” she said quietly.  “I love how unbelievable it feels to get better and better…to become sexier…stronger…smarter.  It does sort of feel like I’m becoming a super hero.  But half the fun is having you there to enjoy it with me.”

 

“Tina,” Corey started but she cut him off.

 

“I really want to see how much I can get before I reach the limits,” Tina told him sadly. “I want to see just how far I can push this.”  Then she set the flute down in front of Corey and stepped back.  “But I’ll give it all up rather than risk losing you.  Take the flute back.  Give it to your sister Beth.”

 

With that, Tina turned and left the apartment, wanting some fresh air as she thought about what she’d just given up.  She went to the small park in back of the apartment building, one that was little more than a flower garden with a park bench.

 

Tina thought about the decision she made and felt an incredible sense of disappointment that she’d never be able to gain more, that she’d never be able to see how far she could take things.  But at the same time, she knew that she’d made the right choice.  It would all be worth it as long as it meant she wouldn’t lose Corey.

 

Tina had been sitting out there for about twenty minutes when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She was a little startled since she hadn’t noticed Corey coming up from behind her.

 

“I don’t want to lose you either,” Corey told her gently. “That’s one of the things that was worrying me the most.”

 

“That’s not going to happen,” Tina told him, giving him a kiss.

 

Corey responded with a smile and said, “I know.”  Then he held out the flute to her, making Tina gasp a little in surprise. “I told you, it’s pretty awesome watching you grow and improve.  I…I think I’d like to see how far this can go.”

 

“But I don’t want to intimidate you,” Tina told him. “I’ll never think of you as weak or inferior or anything…”  Then she paused to grin mischieviously, “At least no more inferior than every guy is to a woman…”

 

“I think I’m likely to be turned on even more than I am to be intimidated,” he admitted self-consciously.

 

“Are you sure?” Tina asked.

 

Corey just grinned in response and said, “I think I know a great place for you to play…”

 

A short time later, Corey and Tina were on campus and at the baseball field where the women’s softball team was busy with practice.  They stood next to the bleachers and watched the players practice for several minutes.

 

“You know,” Tina cautioned Corey. “If I do this, there won’t be any going back.”

 

“I know,” Corey told her, giving her a kiss.  “But I want you to.”  Then as Tina was raising the flute to her lips, Corey went around behind her and reached around to grab her breast, earning a gasp of surprise.  “But this time,” he told her with a smirk. “I want to feel you growing…”

 

Tina grinned, thinking that this was going to be fun as well as wondering why she hadn’t thought of doing this before.  She shook her head and then began to play.  Since Corey was holding her breasts so firmly in his hands, she was going to give him what he wanted.

 

Seconds after Tina began playing, every girl on the field froze and slipped into a trance, including the team’s coach.  Tina played the tune nice and slow so that she wouldn’t absorb their breast size too fast and get more than she intended.

 

Tina continued playing through the orgasm that hit her as her breasts grew.  She felt her bra tightening as they swelled larger. Corey was holding them firmly and was obviously enjoying himself as her breasts grew two cup sizes larger.

 

Then Tina shifted tunes, letting Corey feel as she continued to grow, this time absorbing height from the softball team.  She loved the sensation as all of her clothes tightened on her not just her bra.

 

The height flowed into her, enough that she calculated that she’d taken over four inches of height. However, she knew that some of this height would be lost in the transfer, just as a full cup of breast size had been lost a minute earlier.  When she lowered the flute, she’d grown another three inches and now stood at a height of 6 foot 4.

 

“Hey there shorty,” Tina gently teased Corey who was still holding her breasts.  “Are you enjoying yourself?”

 

“What?” Corey asked, pulling his hands away and pulling out his ear plugs.

 

Tina rolled her eyes and repeated what she’d said.  “I said hi there shorty. Are you enjoying yourself?”  Then she looked down at the bulge in his pants and laughed, “I see that you are.”

 

“What was great,” Corey admitted with a broad grin.  “Feeling your breasts growing in my hands…  And when you grew taller…”  Then he shook his head and admitted, “It’s going to take a bit of getting used to with you being taller than me now.”

 

“Well, there’s no turning back now,” Tina told him. “It’s strange being taller than you but I think I like it. It’s kind of a turn on…”

 

Corey just nodded at that, seeming to have no problem with it at the moment.  Tina gave him another kiss, amused by the change of perspective her new height gave her. Then she turned her attention to the next tune.

 

Seconds later, the overall shapeliness of Tina’s body began to increase. Her legs, ass, and even the shape of her larger breasts all improved giving her an even sexier figure. Then she switched over and began absorbing more beauty, knowing that Corey would definitely improve of this as well.

 

“I would take some more general sensuality and sexiness,” Tina told Corey when she was done. “But I got a little of that a few days ago and wanted to give it a bit of a break…”

 

Corey nodded and then he self-consciously suggested, “Maybe…maybe a little more strength.”

 

Tina grinned, surprised that Corey would suggest that after he’d admitted to being a bit intimidated by her strength earlier. Still, she wasn’t going to turn down the opportunity with his blessing.

 

Once Tina was finished, she turned to Corey again, feeling extremely horny. She wondered how much worse it would be if she’d absorbed some more erogenous sensitivity and wasn’t sure she wanted to find out.

 

“I want to try something,” Tina told Corey, hoping that she wasn’t pushing this too far with him. She grabbed hold of him and then lifted him of the ground, finding that it was surprisingly easy.  “Wow, that feels good…”

 

“It was…different,” Corey admitted.

 

“Just wait till we get home,” Tina told him with a grin.  “I’m feeling really turned on and I can think of some fun things to do with my new strength.”

 

Corey stared at her for a moment with his eyes wide and then he slowly grinned.  “Well then, let’s go see what you can do…”

 

--------------------

 

Tina sat a table in a coffee shop with Kirsten, and even though they were both seated it was immediately obvious that Tina was much taller than her.  Tina was amused by this reversal since she used to be eight inches shorter than her friend and had to look up to meet her eyes.  That height relationship had changed and now Tina had to look down as Kirsten was eight inches shorter than her.

 

Tina was currently 6 foot 6, having taken two inches of height and some other things from a party two nights before.  She smiled as she remembered walking into the party with Corey, the two of them being about the only sober people there.  He’d held her breasts as she’d played and they laughed as all the drunks slipped into trances and collapsed to the ground.

 

For a moment, Tina only gave a token amount of her attention to Kirsten as she remembered the party and what she’d gained from it.  She was now one of the top five tallest people on the entire campus but was without a doubt the bustiest.  Her breasts were absolutely enormous as well as completely magnificent and perfectly shaped.  Every man stared at them in awe while most women were now giving her looks of jealous hatred.  Of course, Corey absolutely loved them as well as the fact that she was now gorgeous and very sexy

 

“I still can’t get over how big you are now,” Kirsten was saying.  “I mean…you’re enormous…”  She was staring straight at Tina’s chest, obviously meaning her breast size as well as her height.  “And you’re so hot now…  I can’t believe how jealous I am of you.”

 

Tina just smiled at that, feeling rather smug.  She used to envy Kirsten so she found this turnabout quite enjoyable, almost as much as the turnabout in height.  However, she didn’t want to make Kirsten too jealous or ruin their friendship so she had to be careful about how much she showed off so as not to rub her face in it.

 

In a way, it was difficult not to show off too much, especially considering the way she was dressed.  She was wearing clothing that was far more revealing and daring than what she ever would have considered wearing before using the flute.  Of course, the flute had not only given her a body worth showing off but had also given her the confidence to wear this kind of clothing and the desire to be much more sexy and sensual.  Her shirt showed off a great deal of cleavage and was high enough to show the firm tone of her abs.  Her pants were tight, showing off her fantastic legs and ass.

 

In fact, the only thing she was wearing that wasn’t sexy were the flat sandals which were currently adorning her feet.  Ever since she’d begun growing, Tina had gotten into the habit of wearing flat shoes right after a growth spurt and then gradually moving up to moderate and then high heels.  This way, people didn’t notice quite how sudden her growth spurts were.

 

“How is Corey taking this?” Kirsten asked. “I mean, it can’t be easy for him having a girlfriend who’s taller than he is…”

 

“He had a few problems with it at first,” Tina admitted. “But these are great consolations…”  She cupped her breasts and grinned.  “He’s really come around though and is really getting a kick out of it.  The hard part was trying not to hurt his pride or make him feel humiliated by it.”

 

Kirsten just snorted, “Male pride…”

 

Tina just raised an eyebrow at that.  “It’s foolish to think that it’s just male pride being hurt.  No one wants to feel like they’re losing their status or being embarrassed, male or female.  In fact, I’ve had more problems with women with bruised egos than men.”

 

Tina shook her head slightly, knowing that nearly every woman she ran into lately had begun seeing her as a threat, as someone who would steal away the attention of the men they were interested in.  In some cases, they took Tina’s improvements as a personal insult, as if her becoming sexy and busty somehow reduced their own status.  Of course, Tina could understand some of their concern since every man and even most of the women in the coffee shop were staring at her, even though most were trying to pretend they weren’t.  Fortunately, Kirsten might be a little jealous but she hadn’t been at all hostile because of it.

 

“There have been a great many things that are fantastic about the changes I’ve gone through over the last couple months,” Tina told her friend.  “But there have been some real problems because of it too.”

 

Kirsten gave Tina a skeptical look.  “I find that a little hard to believe.”

 

“You know how some guys won’t leave you alone because they’re attracted to you?” Tina asked her with an amused smile.  “And how some can be real jerks?  Or how you used to have Sabrina trying to cause trouble because she was jealous?  Well, imagine that all being a little worse.  I mean, I love the attention I get like this but I get tired of it too.  I can’t go anywhere without being stared at.”  She gestured around the coffee shop to prove her point.

 

“I can see that,” Kirsten admitted thoughtfully.

 

“There were the problems with Corey,” Tina told her with a shrug. “Fortunately, those have all worked out.  You wouldn’t believe how close I came to losing him without even realizing it.”  She shuddered slightly, more than a little thankful that she and Corey had found a way to settle things.  She reminded herself that she still had to be patient and gentle with him so as not to accidentally hurt his feelings or make him feel inferior.

 

“He must be pretty open minded to accept this,” Kirsten agreed.  “You’re lucky to have him.”

 

“Absolutely,” Tina agreed.  Then she mused, “Another problem is that I’ve been growing so fast that I can’t really get a good feel for my current dimensions.  I’ve become a little clumsy and keep bumping into things because of it.  And then there’s the fact that I keep outgrowing my clothes and just about everything else.  You wouldn’t believe how much I’ve had to spend because of this.”

 

“I just can’t believe you quit your job,” Kirsten told her.  “With all those clothing expenses, I would have thought you’d get a second job rather than quitting the one you have…”

 

Tina just shrugged at that, feeling a little smug again as she said, “Fortunately, I’ve come into a little money recently.  Some investments are really starting to pay off and I expect that they’ll only be getting more profitable in the near future.”

 

“Must be nice,” Kirsten responded with a grin, giving Tina another look of jealousy.

 

“So how’s your new boyfriend?” Tina abruptly asked to change the subject.

 

“Dave is fantastic,” Kirsten exclaimed with broad grin.  “He’s smart…  He’s nice…  And when he saw Sabrina, he called her a skank.”

 

Tina laughed at that.  “It sounds like he has good tastes then.”  Then she asked, “So, have you had any more problems with Sabrina lately?”

 

Kirsten shook her head.  “No, she’s tried a couple times but it was only half-hearted.  She hasn’t really been much of a problem since she came down with that chronic fatigue thing she has.”  Then she stared at Tina and cautiously asked, “How are those hormone treatments going?  I mean, I know they’re certainly working and you look unbelievable…but growing this much so fast can’t be good for your health.”

 

Tina gave her a reassuring smile and told her, “They’re going well, though they are a little more effective than expected.  Apparently, it was something with my metabolism that makes it work faster on me than any of the other subjects.”  She paused, still not happy with lying to her friend but knowing how important it was to keep the flute a secret.  If it got out, every woman around would try stealing it.  “I was just finishing up with the last of the treatments but they say I might keep growing for a little longer after this.  My body is still saturated after all and my glands are still working overtime…”

 

Tina knew that the hormone treatment cover story that she’d been using as an explanation had gotten to the point where it was borderline ridiculous.  There were so many holes in the story that it was a wonder anyone still believed it.  Fortunately, her ability to convince people of whatever she wanted to had grown a great deal since she’d absorbed so much voice strength from other women.

 

Of course, that same voice strength made it so that she could sing like an angel and gave her the ability to speak in such a sexy voice that she could make nearly any man cream his pants with her voice alone.  She’d considered absorbing even more voice strength but feared that if it became too strong, she’d end up virtually enslaving she spoke to, and she certainly didn’t want to do that to Corey.

 

“I’m afraid I have to get going,” Tina told Kirsten with a smile.  “I promised Corey I’d help him with a large thesis project he’s working on.”

 

“I don’t know how you do it,” Kirsten told her with a shake of the head.  “You’re always so busy anymore and your grades have only gotten better…”

 

“Hard work and a lot of coffee,” Tina lied.

 

A short time later, Tina was about to meet up with Corey where they’d agreed.  She saw him coming down the sidewalk with a back pack slung over his shoulder.  Tina grinned as she saw him but then paused when she noticed four young women going into a shop.

 

“Hey shorty,” Tina teased Corey, still finding it exciting that she was now five inches taller than him.  It made the kiss they shared a moment later just a bit different but even more interesting.

 

“How’s the weather up there?” Corey asked her with a grin. Then he asked, “How’d your time with Kirsten go?”

 

“Pretty good,” Tina told him.  “She’s pretty happy with Dave.  Thank you for talking him into asking her out.  I know her looks tend to intimidate a lot of nice guys from approaching her so it’s nice that you encouraged him.”

 

Corey just shrugged.  “Well, Dave told me he had a thing for her so all I did was tell him to man up and go ask her out.”

 

“Well thank you anyway,” Tina told him, giving him another kiss.  “It’s nice to see Kirsten happy.”

 

Corey nodded at that and then told her, “I brought you something…”  Then he set down his back pack and opened it up, reaching in and pulling out the flute.  “Two more inches,” he winked at her as he handed over the flute.  “I want to see you grow two more inches…”

 

“But I just grew the other day,” Tina said as she accepted the flute, smiling as she looked it over. She looked down at Corey and added, “I thought we were going to try not to get too obvious.”

 

“I know,” Corey admitted with a blush. “I just wanted to see you grow again.”

 

“If that’s what you want,” Tina responded with a grin, more than happy to grow even more.  “And I know just the girls to donate some extra height…”

 

Tina waited until the four girls she’d seen earlier came out of the store she’d previously seen them entering.  She recognized them from campus as four members of that sorority Sabrina belonged to. They were hot, sexy, and spoiled little bitches.  Unfortunately, only one of these girls had been present when she’d visited their sorority house.

 

Tina began playing the flute, immediately capturing them in its power. She had estimated that in order for her to gain two inches of height, she’d have to absorb about four inches…about an inch from each of them. However, two other nearby women were captured by the flute’s power as well and that reduced the amount that the sorority girls would end up losing.

 

A moment later, Tina was savoring the sensation of her body growing again and her clothes becoming tight. It gave her an incredible sense of power to keep getting bigger and stronger, and of course she was also riding the orgasm that came with using the flute.

 

“That should do for now,” Tina told Corey as she handed him the flute to put back into his pack for safe keeping. “What do you think little man?”

 

“I think you look absolutely fantastic,” Corey told her with a completely sincere look that pleased her immensely.  “And enormous,” he added.  “I can’t believe how tall you are now.”

 

“I know,” Tina responded with a broad grin, looking down at him and marveling at how he kept getting shorter and shorter to her perspective.  She was now seven inches taller than Corey and absolutely loving it. "And I can’t wait until I can get even taller.”

 

“Unfortunately, that will have to wait,” Corey told her with a sigh. “I think we’ve probably pushed things as much as we can right now.  But I do have something else in mind…” He stared at her breasts with a broad grin.  “What would you think of going to a wet t-shirt contest tonight?”

 

Tina paused to look down at Corey, considering what he’d just said.  At one time, she never would have imagined being able to enter a contest like that, much less having the courage to do so.  However, now she not only had the body but the confidence and some exhibitionist tendencies.

 

“That sounds like fun,” Tina finally said, laughing aloud.  “I’ve always wanted to win a wet t-shirt contest…”

 

--------------------

 

Tina was grinning as she arrived at the gym with Corey, eager to test out her strength a bit as well as watch Corey test out his.  For the last two weeks, Corey had been coming to the gym and working out pretty hard.  He knew that he’d never be able to keep up with Tina’s strength, but he could at least get in much better shape and look better.  This was the first time that she’d come along with him while he worked out.

 

“They really need to make the doorways bigger,” Tina said with a look of mock innocence.  “I keep bumping my head.”

 

When they walked into the gym floor, everyone who wasn’t focused on their workout immediately began to look at Tina, their eyes going wide. She was now just shy of seven feet tall and had a killer body with breasts like a stripper. Anywhere Tina went, she immediately became the center of attention.

 

Corey looked around and chuckled, knowing that he was getting some attention to…if for no other reason than because people were wondering how he could have gotten a girl like her.  He’d already overheard several women whispering among themselves with the suggestion that he must be pretty big downstairs or great in the sack.  That was the kind of rumor that he was happy to let stand.

 

“Their expressions remind me of when we went into that night club last week,” Corey told Tina with a chuckle.  “I mean, even the house band suddenly stopped playing…”

 

“Yeah,” Tina agreed.  “I certainly can’t forget that club…not when I left with a couple extra inches of height.”

 

“You never forget anything,” Corey pointed out casually. “Not anymore.”

 

“True,” Tina told him. “It also makes my classes unbelievably boring…”

 

“I thought you liked getting straight A’s without any effort,” Corey told her, shaking his head.  He was still a bit jealous of that himself since he had to work for his grades.  Fortunately, Tina had been there to offer him personal tutoring whenever he got stuck.

 

Tina chuckled.  “Yeah, but I’ve already read and memorized every course book and then some.  By now, I know more than most of the instructors about every one of my classes.” She shook her head and added, “Imagine how boring it would be for you to sit in an elementary school class and go through first grade again.  That’s sort of what it feels like for me.”

 

Corey just rolled his eyes and told her, “Sorry, but it’s a bit hard feeling any sympathy for you.”

 

“I know,” Tina responded with mock hurt. “No one understands how hard it is for me…”

 

“You want to talk about hard,” Corey said, glancing down at the front of his workout shorts and earning a laugh from Tina.

 

They walked past all the exercise equipment on the gym floor and then went to the back room that was all free weights. Tina already knew that none of the machines would be a challenge for her strength but hopefully these free weights might give her a better opportunity to measure how strong she now was.

 

There were several other people already there working out, including one man who looked like he might be a professional bodybuilder. Tina knew without a doubt that she was stronger than him.  She estimated her current strength as being nearly twenty times that of a normal man.

 

“So, do you want to outdo him and show him how weak he is compared to you?” Corey asked her quietly.

 

“That would be fun,” Tina admitted. “But I don’t think it’s fair to humiliate him like that when he hasn’t done anything to me.  I mean, its hardy fair to compete against anyone now. I think my strength level qualifies as super strength at this point.”

 

“Well, you did want to feel more like a super hero,” Corey told her with an appreciative look.

 

“And I still do,” Tina responded. “I still want to get more…  But for now, I just want to try this out a bit more…  But first, a little privacy.”

 

With that, Tina used the power of her voice to call out, “Could everyone please leave us for now and give me some privacy.  I’d appreciate it oh so much…”

 

Once everyone else had left the free weight room, Tina and Corey began loading up one of the weight bars with as much as it could hold.  She couldn’t fit on a bench with her size so couldn’t do a bench press but she could still bend over to pick it up.

 

“Holy shit,” Corey exclaimed as Tina lifted the weight from the floor. It was so loaded down that the bar was beginning to bend.

 

“Well, I’m not going to find my limits here,” Tina told him with disappointment as she set the weight back down.  “This much will probably do for curls but not much else.  I can feel the weight and have to work against it a little, but I’ve already surpassed what this gym can challenge me with.  We really should have come here a month ago…”

 

“Well, I still need to work out,” Corey reminded her, gesturing to the weight that Tina had just set back down.  “And that’s a bit beyond me.” Then he added, “You can spot me.”

 

Corey worked out on the weights while Tina watched him, finding it amusing. She knew that at one point she would have been quite impressed by how much weight he was living, but it was hard to be impressed when she could life far more.  Still, she didn’t say that to him or do anything that could be counted as patronizing.  After all, he was doing very good by normal standards and she didn’t want to insult him by suggesting he wasn’t.

 

When Corey was finished with his workout, Tina grinned and said, “Wait here a minute…  I left something out in the car.”  She returned several minutes later with the flute in one hand and Corey’s ear plugs in the other.

 

Corey put in the ear plugs and they went to the main room where there were a dozen people working out on the exercise machines.  Even the body builder they’d seen earlier was busy on a treadmill.

 

“I have to time this carefully,” Tina said as she looked around. “If I entrance someone at the wrong time, they could get seriously hurt.”

 

Tina kept a careful watch of everyone in the room until everyone was in a place where it would be safe to unleash the power of the flute. Then she did so, causing everyone to slip into the magically induced trance.

 

Between the people working out and the gym employees, there were a total of nine women present.  She drained a little height from each of them, feeling her body expanding yet again. Then she grinned in delight as she hit the seven foot mark.

 

Tina continued playing but changed the tune, taking a little strength and vitality from each of the women.  That seemed appropriate considering where they currently were.  She couldn’t resist taking just a little more sensuality as well.

 

“That should do for now,” Tina told Corey with a grin. “I’m seven foot one now…a full foot taller than you.”

 

“Damn, you’re impressive,” Corey admitted.

 

Tina just smiled at that. “I know.”

 

“Maybe you should challenge him to an arm wrestling contest,” Corey suggested, gesturing to the still entranced bodybuilder.  “Like you did that biker at the bar a couple weeks ago…”

 

“Oh yeah,” Tina laughed.  “I loved the look on his face when I beat him…”

 

“And then yawned like you were bored,” Corey reminded her.  “He was such an ass that he definitely deserved that bit of humiliation.”

 

“Especially after he’d pinched my ass and then called me an overgrown bimbo,” Tina said in annoyance.  “He’s just lucky I didn’t hurt him.  It would have been pretty easy.”

 

They continued laughing over that night while all the entranced people slowly came out of it and then continued with what they were doing, having no idea of what Tina had taken from them.  Of course, she hadn’t taken enough from any of them individually for it to really be noticeable, though some of them would soon notice that they couldn’t lift quite as much as they could normally or that they got tired just a little sooner.

 

“I can definitely notice the diminishing effects issue increasing,” Tina told Corey.  “I’m having to take more and more of any trait before it actually has an effect on me. Right now, I’m only getting about half the amount I take, maybe a little less.  I’m even beginning to reach my limits on a few of the traits.”

 

“So you won’t be growing much more than,” Corey said, looking disappointed which amused Tina.  This was definitely much better than being resentful.

 

“Oh, I can still grow a bit more,” Tina responded with a chuckle. “I’ll just have to start using larger crowds if I want to get enough to really be noticeable on me without being noticeable on them.”

 

Tina and Corey started to leave the gym, but as they reached the entrance a woman came bursting through the door. She was tall for a woman, busty, and gorgeous…though not in Tina’s league.

 

“Get out of my way,” the woman snapped at another woman, half shoving her as she went past.  Then the woman froze and stared up at Tina with a look of shock, followed by jealousy and disgust.  “What a freak,” she exclaimed.

 

“Don’t you ever say that about her,” Corey said, coming to Tina’s defense though she certainly didn’t need it.  She liked that in spite of her size and strength, he still insisted on treating her like a lady, even opening doors for her.

 

“You must be a real loser if you have to have someone like that as a girlfriend,” the woman said, giving Corey a look of contempt.  “Or are you her keeper?”  Then she turned and walked to the changing room, pushing past another woman who was coming out.

 

“That bitch,” Corey muttered angrily.

 

Tina put a hand on his shoulder and then smiled coldly. “I’ll be back in just a minute…”  With that, she went into the changing room with the flute held in her hand.

 

When Tina returned a couple minutes later, her clothes were torn and burst at the seams. She’d obviously grown even taller, another three inches.  Her already enormous breasts had grown another two cup sizes as well and were now as large as basketballs.

 

“Holy shit,” Corey exclaimed when he saw her. “How many women were in there?”

 

“Only the one,” Tina responded with a cruel smile.

 

Corey stared up at her and at her massive height of 7 foot 4.  “If you took enough from her to grow that much…”

 

“Then she lost twice as much,” Tina agreed.  “I also took half her confidence, not that it gave me much in return.  Still, it will be enough to ensure she never messes with anyone else again.”

 

“That’s quite a bit just for insulting you,” Corey said carefully.

 

However, Tina just looked down at him and responded, “I don’t care if she insults me…but NOBODY insults you…”

 

Then Tina bent down and kissed Corey, amused by how short he now was compared to her.  In a way, it was almost as though he was the one who was now petite, not that she’d ever tell him that.

 

“Come on,” Tina said, picking Corey up on a whim.  She held him in her arms as she left the gym, saying, “Just wait until we get home…  You can help me test out my new size in some more intimate settings…”

 

--------------------

 

Tina climbed out of the shattered wreckage of the bed, being careful not to wake Corey.  She glanced to the clock though there was no real reason to do so as her time sense had improved enough that she could tell exactly what time it was without any such electronic device.  It was currently 4AM, only two hours after she'd gone to sleep.  Of course, she felt completely wide awake and full of energy since she no longer required much sleep.

 

"We definitely need a new bed," Tina mused with a smile.

 

At 7 foot 7, Tina had outgrown their queen sized bed weeks earlier but the bed had finally just collapsed last night under the force of her and Corey having sex.  She smiled at the memory of being on top of her. She’d been the dominant one in bed for quite some time and had been the one on top, but she had been letting Corey get on top again lately just so she didn’t crush him with her weight.

 

Tina glanced to the hole in the bedroom wall and she chuckled as she remembered that little lovemaking session. She’d actually held Corey up and moved him around while she stood there, keeping him from even touching anything but her, not even the ground.  When she came, she’d accidentally pushed her hand through the wall.

 

Of course, whenever Tina and Corey had sex, she had to be extremely careful since she was strong enough that she could cause him serious damage without meaning to. That meant she couldn’t go all out and had to constantly hold herself back.

 

“I wonder if this is what Superman feels with Lois Lane,” Tina mused.

 

Fortunately, her erotic sensitivity was at a high enough state so that even though she had to hold back, Corey could still drive her to extreme orgasms.  At least she didn’t have to hold back when she masturbated with herself.

 

“And that was while holding back,” Tina mused as she glanced back at the wrecked bed again before leaving the bedroom.

 

Tina stopped in front of a large mirror she’d hung up in the living room and looked herself over.  She was tall, athletic looking without being too muscular, and absolutely gorgeous.  She looked like she could have graced the cover of any magazine.

 

“And these things defy gravity,” Tina mused as she cupped her large, round, and firm breasts.  Thanks to the shapeliness she’d absorbed, they showed no sign of sag and remained absolutely perfect in shape.

 

Every inch of Tina’s body looked absolutely fantastic, and even her once mousy brown hair had become a vibrant copper color that was long, luxurious, and completely devoid of any split ends.  In fact, she’d absorbed enough beauty that every one of her features seemed flawless.

 

“Very nice,” Tina mused, thinking that she might want to take some more beauty anyway.  After all, she’d been holding back a little because she didn’t want to stand out too much too soon, but she’d already passed any point where she could avoid notice.  A little more beauty and shapeliness wouldn’t hurt.

 

After a minute, Tina turned away from the mirror and then sat down at her computer desk, using a very large chair which she’d bought for herself. However, her desk and computer were still the same old size and both now seemed small to her. In fact, it almost felt like she was using a little kid’s desk.

 

Everything in the apartment was now too small for her, far too small and she was starting to feel claustrophobic.  Of course, she already had plans in mind to take care of that problem, not that she’d broached the subject with Corey yet.

 

Tina had made some very nice money from her investments and had made even more from several of her side projects she’d been working on.  She’d arranged for a portion of that money to pay for a custom build house that was being constructed with her size in mind, as well as room for a little further growth.  Of course, Corey would be like a kid on the custom made furniture which would occupy it but the very idea amused Tina.

 

“Good thing I asked them to make the bed for me early,” Tina mused.  “Of course, it will take up the entire bedroom so we’ll have to move the dressers into the living room.  Then again, we should probably move into a larger place until the house is built.”

 

Tina worked on one of her side projects for the next few hours, wishing that the computer would move faster.  She was able to do most of the work in her head but was having a hard time getting the computer to keep up.

 

“Another thing to upgrade,” Tina muttered, though she’d already made plans to do so.

 

While working, Tina held out her hand and an unopened bottle of water flew across the room and into her hand.  The low level telekinesis had appeared after the last intelligence increase she’d given herself, a side effect of having her intelligence at such a high level.  It wasn’t very powerful as of yet but she found it quite useful for everyday tasks such as this.

 

Tina kept herself occupied until Corey eventually got up as well.  After he’d had a cup of coffee, he sat down and just watched her with a look of awe on his face.  She never got tired of having him look at her like that.

 

“You remember that concert we were at last week,” Corey abruptly asked her.

 

“Of course,” Tina responded with a smile. “I got three inches of height from it.  Of course, I took a total of fifteen inches from the crowd.  The diminishing returns for height is getting stronger.”

 

“The music was good too,” he pointed out.  “I did like the band.”

 

Tina bit back the urge to point out that she could do better.  Instead, she just smiled, “It was rather pleasant.”

 

They talked about the band for a few minutes before Corey said, “So you won’t be able to grow much taller then…”

 

“Not too much,” Tina agreed pleasantly. “But I have discovered something interesting.  It seems that I would have reached my limit quite some time ago except for one small factor…”

 

“What’s that?” Corey asked curiously.

 

“I love playing the flute,” she told him with a broad grin.  “Even if it wasn’t magic, I’d still love playing it. I discovered that playing the flute with a lot of passion makes the magic more powerful and efficient. It slows down the diminishing returns effect.  If I didn’t love playing the flute so much, I probably never would have been able to reach seven feet before I hit the limit.”

 

“So a magic flute that uses music works best for people who are passionate about playing,” Corey said.  “That actually makes a weird sort of sense.”

 

“Anyway,” Tina pointed out thoughtfully.  “There’s a swimsuit competition occurring later today and I thought we’d take a drive to go watch it.”

 

Corey licked his lips, then hesitated, obviously knowing that it wasn’t a good idea to show too much eagerness to see other women in front of Tina.  “But why?” he asked with mock innocence. “You already outdo every woman there…”

 

“I know,” Tina responded as though it was a simple fact. “But I do like hear it anyway, so thank you.  But I was thinking that it would be the perfect place to pick up a few more improvements.”

 

Corey stared at her with a hungry look and grinned.  “That sounds like a perfect day to me.”

 

“And afterwards,” Tina told him pleasantly, “we can get a motel room and break their bed the same way we did ours.”  She winked at him and added, “You know how horny I get after using the flute so I expect you to be good and ready by then.”

 

Then Tina bent down and kissed Corey before putting her arm around him and picking him up with ease. She had to be careful as she lifted him and brought him up to her level for a longer kiss.

 

“Is that understood little man?” Tina teased Corey.

 

“Yes ma’am,” Corey responded with a grin.

 

--------------------

 

Tina stepped into the auditorium and then slowly looked around, taking in every detail and cataloguing it.  She smiled faintly, thinking that coming here was a good idea.  This was going to be a profitable place to play her flute.

 

“So, what do you think?” Corey asked from beside her.

 

“I think I’ll wait until the show begins before I give my performance,” Tina told him.

 

Tina looked over the large room again and took in all the bodybuilders who were here to compete.  Most of them were men but there were quite a few female bodybuilders here as well for the women’s competition.

 

Of course, Tina knew without a doubt that she was stronger than any of these bodybuilders could possibly imagine.  Not only was she stronger than anyone here, she was also stronger than all of them put together.  She calculated that at her current strength level, she was a hundred times stronger than the strongest man in the world.  However, the diminishing results effect had caught up with her on strength so she would barely be able to get enough strength from all the women here to even be noticeable to her.

 

As Tina expected, she quickly drew the attention of nearly everyone present.  After all, how could they not stare at her when she was 7 foot 9 and almost superhumanly gorgeous?  She radiated beauty, sex appeal, and vitality, not to mention power.

 

Tina was faintly amused by the attention, knowing that none of them could help themselves.  Of course, she could have absorbed even more beauty and sensuality since she hadn’t reached her limits with those traits yet, but she’d stopped for fear that she’d bespell Corey with her beauty so much that he’d no longer be able to see past it.  It was the same reason she’d stopped absorbing more vocal power.

 

“There aren’t really a lot of women,” Corey pointed out.  “You won’t be able to absorb a lot…”

 

“There will be a lot more women in the audience watching the competition,” Tina told him.  “I’ll do fine here.  Trust me.  In fact, there will likely be more women in the audience here than there were at that swimsuit competition from two weeks ago.”

 

“That was fun,” Corey grinned, obviously thinking about the wild sex they’d had afterwards.  She’d worn him out completely, just as she did every night.  At the same time, Tina also fondly remembered the extra height, beauty, intelligence, and strength she’d gained from the models and audience.

 

Just then, one of the bodybuilders gathered his courage and approached, walking with a swagger and confidence that suggested she should be impressed by the size of his muscles.  Tina nearly laughed at that since she was almost two feet taller than him, not to mention unimaginably stronger.

 

The bodybuilder gave Corey a look of contempt and then looked up at Tina with an appreciative expression.  “You’re certainly a tall one gorgeous.  I’ve never seen anyone so tall…”

 

“I’ve recently had some growth spurts,” Tina responded wryly.

 

“Do you play with the WNBA?” the bodybuilder abruptly asked. “You’ve got to be a basketball player…”

 

“No, I don’t play sports,” Tina told him, knowing that it would be unbelievably unfair for her to compete against anyone. Then again, it was unfair for her to play the stock market as well but that certainly hadn’t stopped her. “Excuse me, but we need to get moving…”

 

The bodybuilder glared at Corey and said, “You can talk with me a bit more…”

 

Suddenly, Tina froze and glared down at him, her eyes narrowing dangerously.  “You,” she said coldly, staring right into the bodybuilder’s eyes, using her suggestive voice pushing at him with all her superhuman willpower. He suddenly gasped and went pale, staring at her as though completely entranced.

 

“What are you doing?” Corey exclaimed in surprise.

 

“This little worm was just planning on jumping you after the competition,” Tina stated angrily.  “He was going to corner you when I wasn’t around and ‘convincing’ you to stay as far away from me as possible so he could have me to himself.”

 

“Shit,” Corey exclaimed, staring at the bodybuilder who stood there with a blank expression on his face, as if entranced by the music of the flute.  Then he gasped, “But how did you…?”  He paused, “Oh yeah, that telepathy thing…”

 

“Of course,” Tina responded.

 

After Tina had drained a good amount of intelligence from the women at the swimsuit competition two weeks earlier, her intelligence had reached a new level of brilliance. At that point, she’d already had a low level telekinetic power but now it had grown stronger and she’d even gained the ability to read other people’s minds…and then some.

 

For a brief moment, Tina contemplated the idea of throwing the bodybuilder across the entire auditorium for what he’d planned on doing to Corey, but then she decided to do something that would draw less attention.  “Forget you ever saw me,” Tina instructed him, pushing with her willpower and her telepathy.  “And when you are on stage…piss yourself in front of the judges and the audience.”

 

When the bodybuilder walked away a few seconds later in a daze, Corey looked up at her and gulped. “Wasn’t that a little harsh?”

 

Tina paused to consider before responding, “No.  Breaking every bone in his body might have been a little harsh. That was just a little lesson for what he was planning on doing to you.”

 

“Yeah, that would have been harsh,” Corey agreed.  “I guess he did get of easy…”

 

"It's at times like this that I really regret that the flute doesn't work on men," Tina mused.

 

Then Tina decided to make sure there were no more interruptions like that one.  Normally, she loved all the attention and awe she now received, but at times it could get rather annoying as well.  She concentrated on pushing outward with her will and a moment later, nearly everyone in the auditorium looked away from her, no longer interested.  It took a great deal of effort to do this and even more so to keep Corey from being affected as well.  However, it was well worth it as it gave Corey and her a little more privacy.

 

"What did you do?" Corey asked, looking around in awe.

 

"I just projected the impression that there's nothing here worth looking at," Tina responded just a little smugly.  "I have to keep projecting it or they'll start staring again."

 

"I knew you could read minds," Corey told her, clearly impressed.  "I didn't realize it was this powerful."

 

"It got a little stronger after I absorbed some intelligence at that chess championship on campus the other day," Tina told him.

 

Corey gulped a little then cautiously asked, "Have you been reading my mind?"

 

"Not most of the time," Tina assured him.  "I didn't want to violate your privacy..."  Then she grinned and added, "But you are right... I have become a virtual goddess."

 

Corey's eyes widened a little as she read his current thoughts.  "Oh," he responded with a bright blush, obviously due to the other things he'd been thinking about doing with her, things which made Tina smile in anticipation.

 

Tina laughed lightly and then decided to tease him a little with just how much she'd gained and what she'd become.  "I've absorbed enough intelligence that I am beyond any current standard of measurement.  In fact, I invented my own measurement standard about two months ago but I've gone beyond that as well.  I think the best way to describe it is to imagine the smartest person in the world.  I'm twenty times smarter.  That much brain power has given me some interesting psychic powers as a benefit, though unfortunately, I won't be able to get much more.  I've pretty much reached the limits of how much I can absorb."

 

"Wow," Corey whispered. "I knew you were a genius but I didn't realize..."

 

"And then there's my strength," Tina continued with a mock innocent look.  "Let's just say that I'm far stronger than every competitor here...combined.  But I've nearly reached the limits with that as well and won't be able to get much stronger."

 

Corey suddenly burst out laughing.  "I remember when they banned you from the gym for bending the weight bar after that idiot tried bragging to you about how strong he was...  I think that was already a pretty good sign of how strong you were."

 

"And I've gotten much stronger since then," Tina told him pleasantly.  "And then there's all the vitality and stamina I’ve absorbed.  I've pretty much reached my limits with that as well, which you might have guessed since I only need to sleep an hour or so every other day.  Not needing to sleep does give me a lot of extra time for my other projects though..."  She paused at that, looking thoughtful as she continued, "I've also found that all that extra vitality means I heal from any injury in almost no time at all and I'm certain that it will drastically slow down my aging process."

 

With that, Tina looked down at Corey, frowning slightly as she thought about the fact that she would no longer age much while Corey still would.  One of the downsides of her superhuman improvements was the fact that she might eventually be forced to watch him grow old and die in front of her while she continued on.  She felt a great sadness at the very idea.

 

"Come on," Tina told Corey.  "I want to get positioned for when the contest starts."

 

Corey nodded and followed behind her, looking at the various bodybuilders with envy.  He was obviously a bit self-conscious and Tina knew that he didn't feel worthy of being with her.  He'd adjusted to her surpassing him in every way possible quite well, but he did have these occasional bouts of self-doubt and fears of inferiority which saddened her to see.

 

Tina and Corey left the area where the bodybuilders were preparing and went to the stage where the competition was to be held.  The audience for the competition was already gathering, and as Tina had predicted, there were plenty of women there to watch.  When the competition began a short time later, they remained where they were absently watching the muscular men posing on stage and waiting until Tina decided the time was right.

 

When the female bodybuilders finally came on stage, Tina made her move.  She used her mental powers to project the thought that no one should look at her and then she went to the microphone that was being used by the man who was introducing the contestants.  Without a word, she raised the flute to her lips and began to play.  The sweet music spread out and filled the entire room, entrancing dozens of women.

 

Tina felt the music spreading out and drawing height from each of these women, competitor and audience member alike.  She took nearly a full inch from each, but due to the diminishing returns, she only grew two more inches, stopping when she reached a height of 7 foot 11.  If she'd continued any more, her height theft would have been far too noticeable.  However, there were other things she could take as well.

 

A moment later, Tina felt her breasts swelling slightly larger, only a single cup.  She already had enormous breasts and didn't really need them any larger but couldn't resist the opportunity to take just a little more.  However, this was probably the last time she'd increase their size as they already got in her way from performing normal tasks quite often and if they were any larger they would become a nuisance.  And though the amount she gained was very small, she took more intelligence, strength, and stamina as well before she finally stopped playing and left the stage.

 

"I've about reached my limits for height," Tina told Corey with a smile as she looked down at him.  "If my calculations are correct...and they always are, then I should be able to reach only another two or three inches before I hit the wall completely."  She smirked and added, "I'll be able to break the eight foot mark and even be a full two feet taller than you.  Of course, I'll need to find another large gathering or two in order to acquire that."

 

Corey nodded at that.  "So you've about reached your limits on just about everything then..."

 

"Not everything," Tina corrected him with an amused grin.  "I still have plenty of room to improve in a few other areas but am actively choosing not to do so."

 

"So, what are you going to do with the flute once you can't use it anymore?" Corey asked.

 

"I'll play it as a normal flute," Tina told him.  "After all, it has a beautiful sound that I can't find in any other instrument.  But I think that there are also several women in your family who'd appreciate the opportunity to benefit from it.  After all, I'm certain that your sister Beth wouldn't want to be denied her own opportunity to benefit from the family legacy."

 

"Oh shit," Corey muttered, paling slightly as he thought of his younger sister Beth becoming bigger, stronger, and smarter than him.  Beth had always been competitive and wouldn't hesitate to remind him of this at every opportunity, probably in humiliating ways.

 

"And I'm sure your mother would like the opportunity as well," Tina added.  At the look on Corey's face, she laughed, "Of course, they'll have to learn how to play the flute first and even then, they'll never match me.  It was only my passion for playing that let me stretch the effects as far as I have.  I'm pretty certain that neither your mother or sister would be able to break the seven foot mark...  I suspect they'll both top out at six foot six."

 

Corey shook his head in resignation.  "At least that's something..."

 

"And speaking of plans for the future," Tina said with faint smile.  "You do remember that we graduate next month."

 

"I just don't see why you're bothering," Corey told her.  "I mean, it's not like you're learning anything in college anymore..."

 

"No, but I did work very hard on my degree for the first couple years," Tina reminded him.  "Just because it suddenly became easy for me doesn't mean that I should quit before I actually get the degree.  It's a matter of principal."

 

"I can see that," Corey responded thoughtfully.

 

"I have been busy making plans for after graduation," Tina said.  "The house and furniture that I'm having custom built will be finished in approximately two months.  After graduation, I also plan on starting my own research and development company that I can use to control some of my projects.  I've already made several patents and have been playing around  with plans for a fusion reactor and some other things that will make me extremely wealthy in short order.  I calculate that within five years, I will be the wealthiest person on the planet."

 

Corey gasped and stared up at Tina in surprise.  She just smiled at that, loving how easily she was able to continue amazing him.  Of course, she still hadn't told him about a certain other project of hers which was bound to amaze him even more than this.

 

The flute wouldn't work on men, but Tina saw absolutely no reason why similar types of improvements couldn't be caused using scientific methods.  Tina had been working on one of these methods in her spare time, fully intending to use this on Corey once it was ready.  She loved him and wanted him to be able to experience how awesome it felt to be this strong, smart, and powerful.  She wanted to share with him everything that she was experiencing and this would allow her to do that.  And of course, Tina also wanted Corey to be strong and sturdy enough so that they could have sex without her having to hold back so much.

 

"I'm also working on a little present for you," Tina told Corey with a teasing smile.  "Once it's ready, it will be a present for the both of us."

 

"I like presents," Corey responded with a broad grin.  "Give me a clue.  Is it bigger than a bread box?"

 

Tina just laughed at that.  "No hints just yet.  However, you do remember what else we had planned for after graduation?"

 

"How could I forget?" Corey answered, obviously remembering their agreement to talk about marriage once they'd both graduated.  And even though they'd held back on talking about the subject, they both fully intended to get married as soon as that day came.  "I just wasn't sure you'd still want to...  I mean, now that you're..."

 

"Of course I still want to marry you," Tina assured him gently, bending over to give him a kiss.  "No matter how much I change, I'm still me deep down inside.  Underneath all this, I'm still the same shy and petite woman who fell in love with you."

 

Then Tina surprised Corey by scooping him up in her arms, holding him cradled between her arms as though he weighed nothing at all.  She gave him another kiss and then began carrying him out of the building and to where they'd left the car.

 

"Enough talk about long term plans," Tina told Corey with a smile.  "I think it's time to talk about ones that are a little more short term."

 

"Oh, and what plans would those be?" Corey asked her with mock innocence.  "Can you give me a hint?"

 

"I'll give you three," Tina responded with a broad grin and a laugh.  "Home.  Bed.  And fucking my brains out."

 

"I think I know the answer to that one," Corey laughed, giving Tina a kiss.  "And I can hardly wait."

 

"Then come on little man," Tina teased him.  "I’m feeling extremely horny and you’re going to satisfy me or die trying"

 

Tina smiled as she continued to walk, looking down at the man she loved who was held firmly in her arms.  She could hear his thoughts and he was feeling comforted and secure, the same way she used to feel when he held her.  Corey was happy and that made her happy as well.  Of course, one day she would make it so that he could physically match her full passions, but for now, she was more than happy to enjoy being his virtual goddess.

 

 

The End
