Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Secret Weapon

You get ready for the match, planting your feet against the mat as Albert rushes towards you at the first sound of the buzzer. He slams into you, almost knocking you over, but your tonnage keeps you on the ground, more or less. You try to push him away as best as you can with the limited movement you have at this size. Considering you're even bigger and less mobile than when you started, it's surprising you can keep Albert at bay. Your weight seems to be a major factor in the force holding you to the mat.

With a huge heave, you knock Albert over and topple over onto him at the same time, pinning him to the mat as the buzzer sounds. A huge bull walks over and hefts you off of Albert, and you both shake hands before getting ready for another match.

A few hours pass before you return to a muscular state ... in fact, you seem to be a little bit bigger than before. You strain against Albert's grip until, with a quick movement, you slip from his grasp and slide behind him. You're just about to tackle him when you trip over his tail and fall flat on your face. He twists around and pins your shoulders to the mat as the buzzer goes off once more.

You both step out of the ring, go back over to the bar and sit down, sweat dripping from your bodies after such an intense workout. Albert seems to have grown about an inch, while you're just slightly more muscular then before your giant-sized sandwich.

"Coffee and a sandwhich.", Albert grins, wiping the sweat from his scales.

"Apple juice and a veggie burger." You order in turn.

"Looks like you've gone back to normal there", Albert smiles at you with a glance at your middle.

"Well, you seem bigger, yourself", you reply, poking him in the stomach.

He chuckles at you, then sips the coffee the counter clerk has brought him as you take a few bites from your no-meat sandwich. You actually like Albert. He seems nice enough, and very polite. Not to mention, quite a bit on the handsome side. You then notice your own face in the reflection of a napkin holder. You've got to admit, though, even you look much better than when you were human.
