Forth of Growth rough draft

Forth of Growth.

              Emily set her blanket down and looked up at the darkeing sky.  “They say the show is going to be a real bang this year.”

              “Is that why you dragged me out for fireworks?  You know how I feel about these things.”  Hope stretched her arms and reached for her book.

              “Oh come now.”  Emily smiled and turned towards her friend.  “It is going to be a fun night with some fun sky dasslaers and artwork.”

              Hope rolled her eyes.  “There is no such thing as sky artwork.”

              Emily laid down on the ground.  “Oh come now.  Have you really never heard of people writing stuff like I love you or drawing hearts in the sky?  Well if you haven’t this will be the most extreme thing you have ever seen in your life.”  She giggled.

              Hope buried her face into her book. “You know I am not into those kinds of things.  I only came out here because I wanted to spend the night with you.”  She put an ear plug in.  “Now please I am trying to catch up on this.  My book club is meeting in a few days and they will kill me if I don’t finish this.”  She turned on a head lamp.

              Emily giggled.  “Oh don’t worry.  I am sure you will get a lot of reading done.”  There was another reason why she wanted Hope to come out here tonight.  She knew the people who were running the show and had worked something out with them.  There would be a special surprise for Hope when the fireworks went off.  Emily would be able to enjoy it too but she would love to see the look on her friends face when it started happening.  Besides it would all be worth it after the trouble she had to go though with spiking their dinner with growth hormones.  Hope was very supcious with Emily suddenly becoming interested in the cooking process.

              “So when can we go home?”

              “You are already asking that?”

              Hope turned the page in her book.  “I have never been to something like this.  I don’t really get the point.”

              “The point is to watch flashy fireworks and enjoy yourself.  Shesh.”  Emily crossed her arms.  “Can’t you just do anything other then pour your head into a book?”  Hope looked up for a moment with an annoyed look.  “I am sorry.  But the show should start very soon so please try and enjoy it.  We all worked very hard to bring it to life.”

              “We?  What did you do?”

              Emily smiled.  “I put in a little extra contbution.  You will love it.”  She turned her head.  “Shhh the show is starting.”

              A middle aged man walked onto a stage about fifty yards away from them.  “Hello everyone and thank you for coming to this Forth of July celebration.  This year is going to be the best yet as we have poured our love and joy into this selection of fireworks.  I hope you all enjoy and let’s get into it.”  He turned around.  “Okay let’s light her up.”

              ***

              Emily turned the page in her book as she hoped her ear buds would be enough to block out the sounds of the exposions.  She had come here for her friend but truth be told she hated fireworks.  The were loud and abnoxious.  Still part of them had a pretty charm.  So as the first firework rose into the air she couldn’t help but look up, she had her ear protection in after all.  It flew higher and higher before exploading with a loud BOOM!

              As soon as it did she felt a strange warmth surge though her, and her shirt suddenly tightening.  “Huh?”  She looked down, dropping her book in the process as she realized her boobs had grown a cup size.  “What the hell?”

              “Everything okay Hope?”

              Hope covered her chest, her cheeks turning bright red.   “Oh nothing.  Nothing at all.”  She gulped as her nipples harded and rubbed against her arms.  “I just . . . the fireworks boom caught me off guard.”

              Emily smiled.  “Well maybe you should force those earplugs in futher.”

              Hope forced a smile.  “Yeah.  Sure.”
