Potions ‘R Us

Tess sighed as she walked around the outer ring of the mall for the third time, looking for the outlet store that Sarah had told her about. “Ok, Topic Lust, where are you. I don’t have all day.” She pulled her phone out of her purse and checked the time. “It is already six p.m. I will try and find this damn store one more time. But I swear if someone gives me the wrong directions again or these signs lead me in circles.” She clenched her phone tight. “Ugh.”

She slipped her phone back into her purse as she adjusted her blouse. “I regret wearing heels.” She knelt down, rubbing her sore ankles. “I thought this would just be a quick visit to a store.” Tess sighed as she stood up, dusting off her slacks. “Next time, before putting on the heels, I will make sure I know where I am going.”

Tess walked towards the escalator, having checked all the stores on the first floor twice over. “I will check the second floor one more time and then head home. I need to rest up for work tomorrow. I need to sell something this week, or Penny will fire me.” She rolled her eyes as she rose up on the escalator. “This hasn’t been the best week.”

As she reached the top of the escalator, a man ran pushed her from behind, knocking her to the ground. “Hey.”

He turned around, dusting his suit off. “Why don’t you watch where you are going?”

Tess stood up. “You knocked me down.”

The man sighed. “No matter. I am late to my job.” He looked Tess over. “You look like you could use a free voucher for our stores' new promotional campaign.”

He handed her a card. “Potions ‘R Us. All potions are half off today.” She looked at him in confusion. “I have been all over this mall, and I haven’t seen or heard of your store.”

He pulled at his suit collar. “We are a bit tucked away here on the second floor, but I assure you we are here.” He sighed. “I hope you check us out and enjoy what we have to offer.” He looked at his watch. “I have to go.” He walked away.

Tess scratched at her short dark hair. “The mall won’t be open for much longer. Why would he be late for his job?” She checked the card once more, the reflective surface making her eyes hurt. “It says the store is located at the far end of the west wing, behind the Ben and Gary’s Icecream. But I was down there and didn’t see this supposed store before.” She sighed. “I guess I can try and find it. It would be better than finding this imaginary Topic Lust.”

She began walking towards the west wing of the mall. Her concerns that the store would be closed as soon as she arrived continued to rise as the Book Worms flipped its sign to closed as she walked by.

After a few minutes, Tess found a glowing Neon sign for the store Potions ‘R Us. The place was packed. She walked in, a bit bewildered that she hadn’t noticed the store before; it looked like something out of a movie. Vials were lining the walls, and employees in eccentric outfits handing out bottles to the customers.

A woman in a red, yellow, green, and blue jumpsuit walked up to Tess. “Welcome to Potions ‘R Us. How can I help you?”

Tess scratched at her head. “Um, I don’t know. I was just told to check this place out.” She held out the card that the man in the suit had given her.

The woman took the card and gave Tess a colossal smile. “Ahh, I see. Well, my name is Pamela. Here follow me, and I will help you find something to suit your needs.” She turned around, humming to herself and twirling her long blue hair.

“Hey, wait.” Tess rushed to catch up with Pamela.

“Hmm?”

“Just tell me what this place is. I have been to this mall multiple times and never heard of this place.”

Pamela laughed. “Oh, we just set up shop this week.” Her head bounced back and forth. “We are a new in-demand market.”

“In-demand market for what?”

Pamela walked up to a shelf and grabbed a vial with swirling red and blue liquid, and tossed it to Tess. She bounced it in her hands before grabbing onto the cold surface. Pamela then turned towards Tess and said, “All sorts of things. Hangover cures. Beating that pesky, peaky flu.” She adjusted a bottle with red liquid in it. “Making sure you are the right size and shape.”

“Wait, what?”

Pamela went on as if she hadn’t heard Tess. “Pretty much anything you can think of, our potions can do it.”

Tess sighed. “I still don’t see where the demand for this came from.”

“Well, let’s just say people are looking to buy, and we are here to provide.” Pamela smiled. “So, are you here to purchase something?

“Umm, I guess.”

Pam classed her hands together. “Perfect. What will it be?”

Tess had no idea. She looked at the bottle of swirling liquid in her hands. “I guess I will try this.”

“Perfect. Just meet me by the cash register at the front of the store.” Pamela danced away as she hummed to herself.

Tess sighed as she walked over to check out. “This is so weird.” She looked at the glowing mushroom signs hanging from the ceiling. “I didn’t hit my head when that person ran into me, did I? Or did he send me down some rabbit hole?” She shook her head as she arrived at the register. “No. This is too real to be some crazy dream.”

Pamela rose up from behind the counter, causing Tess to jump out of her skin. Pam giggled. “Oh, I am sorry.” She took the vial out of Tess’s hands. “Now, let’s get down to the dirty business, shall we. That will be fifteen-thirty.”

Tess reached into her purse for the money. “Here.”

Pamela took the cash and counted it. “Thank you.” She then slid the bottle into a bag and handed it to Tess. “Hope you enjoy it and come back to Portions ‘R Us. Have a lovely day.”

“Umm, you too.” Tess took the bag and walked out of the store. “I wonder what Sarah is going to say when I tell her about this.”

Tess arrived home later that night. Now that she was home, she pulled out her phone and checked her messages. “Hmm, only one. Oh crap. It’s from my boss.”

Tess played the recording. “Tess. I need you to come in early tomorrow. I know we can work on increasing your performance. You just need to try harder.”

“That said until you sell a car, you will be working overtime. You have a quota to meet. Talk with you tomorrow.”

Tess sighed. “Well, that is just dandy.” She set down the package that she had picked up from Potions ‘R Us. “I am sure Penny wants to talk to me about more than just my performance.”

She pulled the vial out of the bag. “I better set you someplace safe.” She held the bottle up and looked at the swilling liquid. “I don’t even know what you do.” She laughed. “That is a bit funny. I bought this thing, and I don’t even know what it does.” She looked the vial over for a label, finding it on the base of the bottle. “Drink me, and your problems will flow away.” Tess laughed. “Like my problems are just going to go away.” She scratched at her hair. “Unless this thing can somehow let me convince Penny to give me more time to sell cars. Not like that would happen, though.”

Tess scratched at her arm. “I am very stressed out, though. Maybe it is a stress reliever, and heaven knows I could use that.” She took the cork off and inhaled a fragrant scent. “Oh my, it smells like roses and dewdrops.” She blinked.  “How odd.” She raised the bottle to her lips and took a few gulps. “Ohh, it takes wonderful. It is like a flavor explosion in my mouth.” She quickly drank the rest of the vial, savoring every last drop. “I can see what the label said; drink me now.”  Tess laughed.

As Tess set the vial down, she felt a quivering sensation rock her body. “Whoa.” She walked over to the nearby desk to steady herself. “I hope this isn’t some strange side effect.”

She suddenly swelled a few inches. “Oww.” Tess pulled at her shirt and pants. “They are so tight all of a sudden.” She grew another few inches. “But this isn’t possible. I can’t’ be growing. What did that bottle do to me?”

She reached down, trying to take off her heels when her body grew once more, her toes bursting through the confines of her shoes. “Oh no. I love these heels.” As she stood back up, Tess heard a rip. “What was that?” She felt around until her hands found a giant tear right along her rear end. “I need to get out of these clothes now.”

Her breasts suddenly tensed. “Oh my.” She pulled at her shirt’s collar as her nipples hardened. “I feel so hot all of a sudden.” She grew once more, but this time the growth occurred in her chest. Her bra stretched as her boobs expanded outward.  “Ohh.” She grabbed her breasts just as the growth stopped, sending ripples through her body. “They are so big and sensitive.”

Tess grew once more, this time an entire foot. Her head brushed up against the ceiling, and her shirt became skin tight. “Ok, maybe I should think about finding my way out of here.” She wiped the sweat from her forehead. “Ohh. Before I become stuck.”

She walked towards the doorway, pushing down the thoughts swilling in her mind. No matter how good her growing body felt, this wasn’t the time to focus on those desires. She had to escape her home before it was too late. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy her swelling body.

Before she could make it to the door, she grew once again. She was forced to bend over as her pants ripped in two and her nipples pierced her shirt. Tess took in quick breaths as she fell onto all fours, trying to contain herself. “Oh god.” Her breasts grew once again, her bra popping off her body. “Oh yes.” She kicked out, her foot crashing through a wall. “Oops.” She laughed.

Tess grew once more, her shoulders and back hitting the ceiling. Her feet scraped along the floor until they pressed against the far wall and her arms pressed against the nearby walls. Her shirt fell to the floor in shambles, the only article of clothing left on her body being her underwear. Her nipples brushed back and forth against the floor, causing Tess to groan. “Ohhhhh.”

She grew once more, her head crashing through the ceiling as her breasts pressed against the ground. The sudden pleasure caused her to kick out, her legs flying through the kitchen and into the garage; pushing her car onto the street. Her left elbow punched a hole through the wall as her hand fought for room. As for her right arm, it went sailing out of the house and onto the lawn. “Oh yes.” She quivered, causing the house to shake. “Ohh yess.” Tess felt a ripping sensation, her undergarments falling to pieces. She was now naked, but she didn’t care. She was still growing, and that was wonderful.

Tess rocked back and forth, the house slowly starting to shake. As she slowly grew once again, dust fell around her before entire beams fell onto her back. In moments Tess stood up, the house falling to shambles around her. “Finally.” She smiled as she looked around, dusting off the last remnants of her home off her body. “I am tired of being trapped in that horrid house.” She shook her body, letting her boobs jiggle. “I am happy I had that potion after all.” Tess ran her hands along her body. “Now, I should see about my job security. I think Penny would reconsider things when I talk to her now.”
