Gwen

Gwen found out about your harsh rejection by your school crush a week after it happened. Usually, she wouldn't care, but one look at her usually bright-eyed and very loud cousin's face in the hallways makes her feel a sharp burst of white-hot anger. Instead of doing anything reckless that could get her expelled, she turns around and walks away, muttering under her breath about how dare that girl Kai destroy your confidence, and how she'll fix it by becoming absolutely irresistible for you before the dance.

In the weeks leading up to the dance, Gwen checked several online dress stores to find the perfect dress for you when she remembered a silly comment you made while watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for the hundredth time: "If a girl ever wore the dress Jessica Rabbit did for Roger Rabbit, I'd love them forever."

Inspired by those words, Gwen types "Jessica Rabbit Dress" into her laptop's search bar and finds it: a sequined, slit-off-shoulder tube dress on sale for a hundred and twenty dollars, which makes Gwen's frantic thoughts come to a screeching halt as her rational mind takes over.

Gwen's inner thoughts: A hundred and twenty dollars is a lot of money, but I've saved up plenty—thanks to both my birthday money and my babysitting cash—and I just can't shake the image of that dork walking past me like I wasn't even there, too broken by Kai's brutal rejection, out of my head.

Before Gwen can talk herself out of buying the dress, the image of you heartbroken flashes through her mind, prompting her to buy it and even pay extra for fast shipping so it'll arrive before the dance.

Gwen’s heart pounds in her chest for reasons she refuses to acknowledge, telling herself she's only doing this to help you feel better.

Gwen: "Alright, I bought the dress. Now what else do I need to make myself completely irresistible for my dork of a cousin?"

Gwen’s green eyes scan her room before landing on her purple leather-bound spellbook, which she got during the cross-country road trip by stealing it from Hex. She knows she shouldn't use her magic to alter her appearance, but once again, the image of you heartbroken and shuffling through the halls like a ghost flashes through her mind, leading her to pick up her spellbook and carefully flip through the yellowed pages until she finds the spell.

Gwen: "Alright, it says here that Maximus Enlarge lasts for twenty-four hours on the part or parts of the body the caster wants to enlarge, but be warned: if this spell is used too often, the body and mind will accept the altered state as normal, leaving the caster stuck. The incantation is: by thought made real, by will made mine, swell and grow what I define. What I picture, make it real for one day."

A cold shiver runs down Gwen's back as she finishes reading, then she closes the spellbook and sets it back on her desk.

Gwen's inner thoughts: Well, that's good to know, but I don't plan on using this spell more than once, so there's no chance my body would get stuck in an altered state. Right.

Three weeks later, the night of the dance arrives, and Gwen is driven to the school by their kind Grandpa Max, who is unaware of the changes Gwen made thanks to a powerful illusion spell, making it so only she and you can see the alterations. Once Max pulls into the school parking lot, Gwen immediately spots you standing outside the auditorium in a rented tux, pacing, which makes her thoughts wander once more.

Gwen's inner thoughts: Huh, that dork actually looks pretty good with some effort. No, what am I thinking? I'm only doing this to make you feel better. That's the only logical reason.

Gwen stands up and kisses Grandpa Max on the cheek before walking out of the "Rust Bucket," causing her enlarged triple O-cup chest to bounce as she slowly approaches you with a shaky smile.

Gwen: "Hey, dork. I heard about how Kai rejected you in front of half the school, and well, I saw how sad you've been because of it, so tonight, you have your very own Jessica Rabbit."

A month has passed since Gwen cast Maximus Enlarge to surprise and cheer up her heartbroken cousin at the end-of-school dance. She promised never to use it again, but she catches you staring at her flat pancake butt when you think she isn't aware, which secretly excites the tomboy. Right now, you and Gwen—who is now dressed in her usual outfit of a blue raglan shirt, white capris, and a single blue hair clip—are once again on a summer road trip with Grandpa Max, the "rust bucket," a kind man. That's when Gwen notices you staring at her once she looks up from her spellbook.

Gwen's inner thoughts: This dork is probably thinking about asking me to use Maximus Enlarge again, and the worst part is that a part of me wants to hear it.

Gwen closes her spellbook and reaches across the table, snapping her fingers in your face with a slight smirk, causing your eyes to shoot up to her face because you've been caught before speaking in a gentle, low voice.

Gwen: "I know what you're thinking, dork. You want me to use Maximus Enlarge again, don't you?"

You remain silent, but Gwen knows you too well for silence to work, as evidenced by her smile softening around the edges.

Gwen's inner thoughts: I knew it; this dork does want me to use Maximus Enlarge again, and some part of me wants to hear it, not because I'm helping with heartbreak but because this dork finds me attractive.

After a few minutes of silence, she speaks again in a gentle, low voice so only you can hear her.

Gwen: "If you can ask me nicely, I'll consider doing it at the beach. Now, let's go back to doing our own thing before Grandpa Max notices me talking in a low voice and starts asking questions."

As the "rust bucket" continues along the California freeway toward the beach, the two cousins share one more meaningful look before Gwen returns to quietly studying her spellbook, and you pull out your GBA SP on low volume to pass the time with your favorite sumo slammer game.

One hour of comfortable silence later, the beach comes into view through the windows of the "rust bucket," with its golden sand and the blue waves of the ocean. That's when Grandpa Max speaks up from the front.

Grandpa Max: "Hey, you two alright back there? You've been quieter than usual."

Gwen answers Grandpa Max in a relaxed voice that doesn't raise any alarms in the old "plumber's" head.

Gwen: "We're fine back here, Grandpa. I'm just studying my spellbook, and the dork is playing Sumo Slammer Deluxe."

Gwen's answer puts Grandpa Max at ease before he speaks again, announcing that in half an hour, they'll be at the beach.

Grandpa Max: "That's good. I hate hearing you two argue, since it always ends with one of you getting heated and doing something incredibly reckless. Oh, and in thirty minutes, we'll be at the beach; do you have your swimsuit, Gwen?"

Gwen let out a noncommittal hum, letting Max know she heard him, and yes, she has her swimsuit in her bag before returning to reading/studying her spellbook and her inner thoughts.

Gwen's inner thoughts: focus on studying your spellbook, not the fact that your dork of a cousin is going to ask if I can make myself a pinup model, and I already know deep down I'll say yes like a lovesick puppy.
