Hazel's First Smash (Patreon)

The next chapter will be a prequel, showing the first night she ever grew. I'm talking it over now with EmmaGear, throwing out ideas.

Basically at this point, she's a shy, introverted girl, who lives a very sheltered life. It's the first summer after high school, and her best friend, who's more outgoing and adventurous than she is, takes her to a party at a crazy punk house one Friday night. It's a place where like a dozen hippie dudes live together. It's pretty crazy, there's graffiti all over the house, some woman is running around topless, and there's a couple having sex under a blanket while everyone cheers them on. (If this sounds oddly specific, it's because it's based on a party that I went to like 15 years ago)

Hazel has a beer to loosen up, but she's still feeling too shy to talk to anyone. That's when her friend has an idea: What if she breaks the ice, by showing off her trick? Hazel hadn't show it to anyone except for her friend before, but the people cheer her on, not knowing what Hazel's trick is. But as she grows bigger and bigger, her friend starts to get worried. Hazel, high on the attention she's getting, doesn't want to stop. It's not until an accident that Hazel realizes just how dangerous her new size is. But after running from the police, she finds herself surrounded by people downtown. Towering over all of them, having them be at her mercy... it feels too good to stop...

So it would be kind of an origin for her. She had a dark side before, but she kept it hidden, even from herself. She's still worried about hurting people, more because she's afraid of consequences than anything. But when she gets carried away, nothing can stop her...

And yes, this would mean a longer wait for Kaylee 25, I know! But trust me, it'll be better if I don't rush it... Even if that means waiting a fair bit longer.
