[Blackwatch]

Right, I'm glad to see my story has been received well so far. Thank you for the encouragement I aim to please and I hope the next part doesn't disappoint. As always, any and all feedback, positive and negative, are welcome and encouraged.

Part 3

"Definitely 5'2" now," I said, reeling in the measuring tape. ?You said this was going to start going faster??

"That's how the sequence goes, yeah. I think we still have an hour between episodes, but this is where the real fun begins," Ailsa explained.

"Because it's been so boring up until now," I replied.

"Someone thinks he's Mr. Clever Dick apparently," she said, giggling slightly. I couldn't help but notice how much her breasts seemed to jiggle with her. "Anyway, there are a few things you can do for me," she began.

I spent the next part of the afternoon scrounging for various items. Amongst them were more whiteboard markers, snacks, and another whiteboard. Ailsa informed me that she thought best if she was pursuing multiple paths simultaneously so another board was necessary. Stealing such a thing proved to be a much greater challenge than I anticipated. I'm not exactly the stealthy type and the closest I ever got to flair was when my car broke down. Still, after a few well-placed door kicks and an impromptu use of my car keys as a screwdriver, I managed to get a hold of a fairly sizable one.

I knocked on the door and swept inside after my girlfriend opened it. The original whiteboard was now completely covered in more letters and number than had any right being on it. "What took you so long?! We don't have much time!" she cried. We scrambled to get the new board up on the opposite wall as I noticed we only had five minutes until 2:30. "I'm sorry, it took me some time to find one that no one was currently using," I explained, frantically trying to force the screws back into the wall. Just as I finished, I heard single low moan coming from Ailsa and turned around just in time to see the clock strike the end of another hour.

Her breathing hastened as I noticed her growth start in her feet. The heels she had been wearing seemed filled to capacity as her toes started to lengthen. I could hear small snaps and tears as the leather began to separate from the sole. This effort seemed concentrated around her toes as each big toe burst fully through the front of the shoes accompanied by a loud tearing sound.

Her skirt continued to ascend as Ailsa's legs slowly lengthened, in this case revealing the bottom of her thighs. Holes began to open along the seams in the skirt as her skinny legs started to fill out and her hips widened by a small margin. Her blouse crawled up her skin, exposing a sliver of alabaster midriff. There was a loud pop, followed immediately by another as the top two buttons on the blouse finally succumbed to the pressure of her expanding chest and longer torso. Her cleavage was just visible at the top, accented with the same freckles that lightly dotted her face. Copper hair streamed down several more inches to caress the top of her breasts and mid-shoulder blades. The sleeves of her blouse were half torn as a number of small holes started to form down the sides and back of the garment.

She tried to take a step toward the couch but her mangled shoes made this feat difficult and instead she tripped, landing on her back. I ran forward as quickly as I could to lift her back on her feet as her breathing slowed once again. She felt warmer than the previous two spurts and heavier than I was used to, though I certainly wasn't going to mention it. I decided to carry her over and after setting her down on the cushions, I sat down next to her.

"That one was a doozy," I said. Nothing else felt appropriate.

"2:30. One hell of a time," she replied, panting slightly.

"It doesn't hurt, does it?"

"A little, but, it also feels like an intense workout. Pain and gain to modify the cliche," she replied.

"Are you any closer to finding a cure?" I inquired.

"I hope so. After the next hour I'll have to really gun it or I may end up too big for the lab. Any 'counter-serum' I make will take time, so I need to finish the calculations fast," she explained.

We measured her quickly to confirm she was indeed 5'4" tall. The spurts were only going to keep increasing in intensity and the next one was the supposed end of the first dose of serum. There was still a part of me that hoped that one of the doses I "administered" was given incorrectly. 5'7" meant a taller Ailsa, but I felt I would be fine with that. I had to admit, she was becoming even more gorgeous than I could imagine. It was the "beyond" bit that worried me. We were looking at one hell of a custom clothing order if we couldn't fix this.

I looked at the other whiteboard as scrawls of complex mathematics danced across the surface and then got erased to make way for new dancers. Colors stacked upon themselves as my girlfriend made use of all the markers I had managed to procure. It was difficult to concentrate on much as I watched her longer hair sway with every movement. She had to walk with a great deal of care to prevent her shoes from tripping her up again.

"That's a weird looking 'e' isn't it?" I asked, snapping out of my reverie for a moment.

"It would be funny looking for an 'e' if it was one. That's the Grecian sigma character. 'E' is used more often for..." she paused.

"What is it?"

"I... I was looking at this all wrong. I thought that I would have to somehow cancel the energy in the serum, neutralizing the effects. Something like accelerating the nuclear decay. However, the best way to cancel it would be to apply an equal amount of energy in the other direction," she explained.

"Great! Good thinking sweetie! How do we do that?"

"Well, I could always hook something up to the local power grid to sort of 'jump-start' a type of inverse serum. It would be damned tough to measure but maybe I could *GASP*," she began.

"Shite," I could hear her whisper.

Another hour had passed as the serum began to work its energy on Ailsa once again. Her trembling and panting form managed to crawl up onto the lab table as the changes began. I noticed why this choice was made almost immediately as her shoes, already damaged by the last spurt, were being put through pressure the cheap stitching was never designed to take. The holes created by her big toes expanded as the rest of her feet's digits followed suit. Her widening feet tore more and more through the seams as a loud ripping sound echoed through the lab. An errant kick threw off what remained of the shredded footwear which landed on the floor with a resounding clunk.

She then managed to turn around, trying her best to remain on her hands and knees as her body resumed its slow stretch. Her hair streamed out faster than before as it began to curl here and there, slowly gaining in body. Her breasts shook with incredible force as they fought a winning battle against Ailsa's tearing blouse and hopelessly outmatched bra. Her breathing heralded a change in breast size once, twice, and then thrice, causing three buttons to pop off her blouse, revealing her expanding flesh. At the end of her third breath, her bra snapped at the clasp and began dangling out of the recently opened gap in her top, completely exposing her now C cup bosom. The remains of her blouse climbed slightly higher, exposing her thin stomach and showing her navel. The sleeves were mostly torn through by this point and several of the holes along her back had significantly increased in size.

Her legs began to extend as well, slowly raising her prone form. The skirt inched its way further up her thighs, which had continued to gain in tone and shape. The holes started with the last spurt widened into slits, showing off more of her legs and enabling some degree of freedom of movement. These slits extended all the way up to her waist where I could see her panties had begun to fray in a few places. Her hips grew slightly wider than before, giving her a definite hourglass figure and I could see her ass swell outward by more than a few fractions, taking a page from her newly toned legs. Her hair stopped at the middle of her back as she collapsed forward, pressing her breasts onto the lab surface in front of her. Her breathing returned to normal once again but I didn't have to touch her to feel the heat radiating out from her body.

"We...have...to go...faster," she managed to utter in a deeper tone than before.
