Kate glanced over towards the lab where she knew Brian and Michael were
currently working. Biting her lower lip she had to remind herself not to go
and look at what they were currently working on. Brian had made her promise
that she wouldn't and she was determined to keep any promise she made to him.
She had thought at the time she could figure out what they were working on
just by listening to their conversations however things hadn't worked out that
way. Not only did she not know what they were working on but they had her
order a great deal of rather strange equipment.

Brian had even asked her to expand the lab which she had done for them. She
didn't mind expanding the lab it just made her curious. As this particular
expansion seemed to be preparing to move something particularly large out of
the area. She could hear what they had been saying the entire time of course.
However, they spoke cryptically and used so many pronouns she couldn't really
guess what they were doing. There was also the constant scratch of pins on
paper and the click of the keyboard.

Kate had no way of knowing what the men were currently up to and they intended
to keep it that way for some time. Kate's cheeks puffed outward as she turned
away from the lab and walked out of the living room towards one of the
incomplete sections. She could pout about Brian and Michael not telling her
what they were doing later. At the moment she felt it was likely they were
testing a theory and didn't want to risk disappointing.

" You keep that needle away from me." Brian looked over at Michael who had
been looking through the various drawers of medical supplies and equipment for
drawing blood. It was the items that were used for drawing blood that
concerned Brian at the moment.

" But what about the experiment?"

" I already gave more then enough for the experiment and you know it." Michael
just grinned and placed the needles back in their drawer.

" I wasn't serious you know. I know that we have more then enough."

Brian didn't respond but continued to watch the screen in front of him.
Michael came over next to him a few moments later and took a look at the
screen himself. " Kate is going to be quite surprised by this." Brian glanced
up at Michael.

Michael nodded. " Yes she is. Though I believe, she is going to be more
surprised over just what made it possible."

Brian nodded his agreement. " How do you think she is going to feel about just
what made it continue to live and even grow?"

Michael rubbed the back of his neck. " I don't really know. She is so
protective over you it may worry her so much she doesn't allow you to
continue."

Brian chuckled. " Well if it does, we can just sneak and do it."

Michael couldn't help but laugh. " Oh no. We can't. At least I won't have any
part in it or do you want Kate to rip out the entire lab and crush it?"

Brian set up and tapped his finger against the desk. " Well you have a good
point there. Do you think she would go that far to stop it?"

" Were you are concerned I most assuredly wouldn't put it past her. Also while
I am sure she would punish both of us. I would be in for it."

Brian rolled his eyes. He knew that Kate loved him however she cared for
Michael to. He doubted that Kate would do anything too drastic to either of
them. " And just what is your idea of in for it?"

" Why she may take away my tv privileges."

Brian smacked his head. " Well I don't think she is going to really mind how
we encouraged it to grow. I wish we could have figured out how to alter its
color."

Michael gave Brian a pat on the shoulder. " Don't worry this sort of thing
takes time. I am just glad we figured out how to make it not only continue
living but reproduce as well."

Brian stood up and moved away from the computer screen. Walking across the
lad, he made his way through a door way into the expanded lab. This part of
the lab was far more sparse then the rest of it. Several large tanks filled
with various chemicals, machines and molds rested around the room including
one truly massive tank that seemed built to hold a whale." I was quite
surprised when she didn't push the issue about getting these tanks or securing
the chemicals. After all she has been trying to limit that she asks for."

Michael entered the room, a short while after Brian did. " You were the one
that asked for it after all. I am sure Kate would have pushed quite hard if
she had to." Michael didn't join Kate at the large tank but stopped at one of
the smaller ones and looked in on its contents. " For a while I was worried
that it wouldn't stop growing."

" How come?"

" Well I figure the stimulant may lead to its reproduction but I didn't expect
it to not only reproduce but to sustain that stimulant."

" Yeah. I guess it is a good thing the stimulant perishes with time no matter
what."

Michael gave a nod.

Kate let out an annoyed snort that made the men working with her jump
slightly. While a few of them had become fairly comfortable around Kate.
Seeing her irritated still generated a bit of fear amongst the ranks. Kate
could hear every word that Brian and Michael were saying and while she didn't
know just what they were talking about. Their choice of wording was giving her
ideas and making her worry. Were they talking that way just to make her worry
about what they were doing?

Still, Kate knew that Brian felt strongly enough about keeping this a secret,
that if he had the strength. He would have wrestled her to avoid her going in
there and seeing what they were doing. Just enough to pin her though she knew
that even if he had the ability Brian would never harm her. That was the only
reason Kate stayed away from the lab and didn't simply pull part of the wall
out to see what they were doing. She knew how strongly Brian felt about
keeping it a secret and in such situations Kate couldn't bring herself to use
her size advantage.

Kate's look of frustration turned into a large grin. Now if Brian had felt
less strongly about keeping their research a secret she would have just picked
him up and dropped him down her shirt. Then took a look at the lab. Why did he
have to feel so strongly about keeping it a secret? Kate's frustration turned
to warmth as she knew the reason. Brian was doing this as a surprise for her
that was also why he felt so strongly about not letting her know about it
until they were finished.

Brian couldn't do much for Kate especially in the line of gifts. The cakes he
had baked for her had been one of his best efforts and while he knew Kate
enjoyed and appreciated them. He couldn't help but think he was taking far
more then he was giving considering all that Kate had done for him. Now though
he felt that he could give Kate something that was really special. Brian's
thoughts where interrupted when he heard the sound of paper tearing and he
quickly turned to see what Michael was doing.

Michael had a huge grin on his face as he held to pieces of writing paper. "
What?"

Brian let out a sigh and rolled his eyes. " I wish you wouldn't do that."
Brian had developed something of a phobia of the sound of paper tearing at
least while in the lab. Of course Michael knew of this and knew the reason
why.

Michael just laughed and placed the paper in the trash. A grin remaining on
her face. " Very well I apologize for spooking you it must be getting quite
old by now."

Brian waved his hand. " No need to apologize for it. I can't believe I get
spooked over the sound of tearing paper now."

" Well your subconscious has come to associate that sound with pain over the
last few days. It will go away after a few weeks in which we don't do any
major research."

Brian leaned against the tank. " I wonder how Kate avoided developing a
phobia."

" She didn't. Kate just simply learned to endure the pain and push through the
fear. However, despite that the fear of the pain made it all the worse."

Brian felt ill for a moment. " We asked Kate to give us a sample."

" That we did, but you know. I never saw her take giving a tissue sample so
well. At least not since she had to start using her own fingers to remove the
sample."

" Why would you say that?"

" Because it is the truth. Now do you want to know why I think she responded
better?"

Brian wasn't sure if Michael was just trying to ease his nerves or not but
decided to listen. " Sure."

" I figure it is because she trusts you to make good use of it. Kate was
enduring the pain because someone she cares for was asking her to endure the
pain. It seemed to have made it much easier on her."

Brian knew how responsive Kate's body was to her emotions so Michael's
reasoning didn't seem to off. Though it did make him wonder. " You don't think
she felt that way about the researchers?"

" Well. Kate did care for some of us including myself. However, I imagine she
feels far more strongly for you then she ever did for us."

Brian straitened back up. " So how much longer until it is finished growing? I
personally think it is just going to take two or three more days and then we
can show Kate."

" You know. It would grow faster if we had more stimulants."

Brian lightly tapped his head against the clear exterior of the tank. The
grimace on his face turned into a grin and he soon found himself chuckling.
When he finally regained his composure that he could speak again Brian was in
quite high spirits. " Well it is just going to have to take those few days as
it isn't getting any more stimulants."

Kate gave her fingers a quick snap. So she would have to wait up to three days
to find out what Brian and Michael had been spending several weeks working on.
Well she could be patient and wait to see just what the men had been spending
all their time doing. Kate heard the familiar sound of fingers on a keyboard a
short while later. She quickly recognized from the tapping patterns that it
was no longer work but play. Meaning Brian and Michael had finished the work
that they could do for the day.

Looking around herself, Kate took a good look at the progress she had made
today. A long sigh escaped her lips and a pout returned to her face as she
realized that she had been so focused on Brian and Michael's conversation that
she hadn't been making such progress. For a moment she considered leaving the
men be and continuing her work but quickly realized how silly that would be.
If Brian was finished working, she doubted that he would mind keeping her
company.

Brian couldn't help but smile upon hearing a tap on the exterior of the lab.
He knew how aware Kate was of her surroundings so he had become quite use to
her stopping by whenever he had finished up his work. " Hey in there. Mind if
I open up the front or are you working on something?"

" Go ahead. The research material is in the opposite room." Brian looked up
knowing exactly where Kate's eyes would be once she had removed the wall. The
wall to the living room fell away a moment later as Kate detached it and set
it down. Brian stood up the moment the wall had been removed and made his way
over to Kate.

" So how are you two doing."

Brian stood still as Kate reached a hand into the lab. Reaching out with his
own he pressed his right hand to one of Kate's fingers and gave it a soft
kiss. " We are done for today. All that is left to do is observe the specimens
and see what kind of result we get."

Kate rubbed her finger against Brian. " Can the machines handle that? I would
like some company while I work."

Brian nodded his head. " Yes."

Brian didn't need to look as Kate's massive thumb came up behind him. Stepping
forward so that he was leaned against her other finger he felt Kate's thumb
pressed to his back insuring that he wouldn't fall. Kate slowly withdrew her
hand from the lab. As Kate withdrew her hand, she turned it so that her palm
was up and then removed her thumb from Brian's back. Setting up Brian stroked
his hand against Kate's pinky finger.

Michael just grinned as Kate replaced the lab wall and stood to her full
towering height. He couldn't help but be glad. Glad that Kate had found
someone that Kate had found someone that cared for her so much. He felt like a
father that actually had a son-in-law whom he approved of and a daughter he
was so very proud of.

" So is your research going well? Have you made any interesting discoveries?"
Kate lifted Brian closer to her face as she spoke.

" I think we have made some very important discoveries, that is going to make
research much easier from here on out. How is the construction going?"

" I will just say that I am glad I don't need to sleep and can work on it
while you are in the lab and while you are napping as well." Kate brought
Brian closer to her face and rubbed her nose against him for a moment. " I am
also glad that I am large enough you can nap in my bra while I am working."

" I have to agree with you there as well. It beats any bed I have slept in
before. Mm I take it, you are going to need your hand while you are working.
So where do you plan on keeping me?"

" Well that should be obvious." Kate proceeded to pull her shirt out a bit
revealing the valley of cleavage below. Pinching Brian between her fingers
once again she lowered him beneath her neckline and into the warm environment.
Setting Brian down atop her right breast, Kate removed her hand and allowed
the material to shift back into place.

Brian managed to get to his feet and made his way more to the center of Kate's
breast. Carefully moving down the side of Kate's breast, he made himself
comfortable in the valley created by Kate's bountiful bosom. After getting
settled, he looked up towards the underside of Kate's chin. When nothing came
to mind to say he shifted to his side a bit and gave Kate's right breast a
kiss. Kate was perfectly fine with Brian kept quiet, she didn't really have
anything to talk about either. She simply wanted her little one with her.

*****************************************************************************

" Well that is the third check and it seems to be entirely ready. There was
some excess material but Kate can remove any excess she doesn't want if she is
careful." Brian was currently looking at the monitor detailing the completion
of their project.

Michael soon joined him looking at the screen. " I guess we were a little off
in our measurements. Of course there is nothing we can do about it. Once the
material has been produced and preserved there isn't any going back."

" Do you want to go have a look at it before we call Kate?"

Kate looked up as she heard Brian and Michael speaking. Crossing her fingers,
she couldn't help mumbling " Please call me, please call me."

Michael considered this. " Sure. We might as well."

Kate couldn't help but let out an annoyed groan. She felt confident that she
would get to see what the men had been working on in just a few minutes.
Despite that knowledge she hated to wait especially since they had been so
secretive.

Michael followed Brian into the specimen room and over to the main tank. The
tank was now empty except for a mold and what they have been growing over the
past few weeks. " It is amazing how quickly it grew."

Michael nodded his agreement. " True, though I find the fact that we managed
to not only get it to grow but preserve itself to be even more remarkable. You
know I can't see the over growth.."

" Yeah. I guess a few yards isn't all that much considering how big it is."
Brian closed his eyes in thought for a moment. Opening them back up " Well
then I guess it is ready to let call for Kate."

Despite the buildings specially made floor and other precautions both men
could easily feel the floor shaking. The sound of Kate's massive and quite
sift foot steps told them Kate had been paying attention and was eager to see
what they had been hiding from her.

Kate's massive legs quickly ate up the distance between herself and the lab.
Entering into the living room she quickly made her way over to the section of
the structure the lab was built into and reached out for the wall. She barely
managed to stop herself as she moved to take hold of the detachable portion of
the structure. Taking a deep breath, she reminded herself that Brian hadn't
actually given her the okay to see what they had been preparing for her.
Pulling her hands back Kate waited for the okay.

Brian didn't even consider making Kate wait any longer. He was just as eager
to see if she liked their gift to her or not. " Okay Kate, we are ready."

Brian felt the delighted squeal that issued forth from Kate reached through
the wall and shake his ribs. A moment later the wall had been removed and Kate
was quickly looking around trying to see just what the men had been working
on. It didn't take her long at all as she took stock of the massive tank in
the back of the room. It was completely dry and resting within it was a black
object which Kate could have sworn she recognized. The smile that had formed
on Kate's face the moment she had been given the okay to look in on them
didn't fade in the least.

" Now careful Kate or you will damage the mold that it is on." Kate gave an
excited nod that worried Michael and Brian. While they felt confident, she
would be careful they also knew she was quite excited. The moment she heard
the locking mechanism's release Kate reached into the room and slid the front
wall of the container away. Then reaching in Kate carefully picked up the mold
and the material that had grown around it.

" How should I go about removing the frame work?"

Brian took a few steps forward. " It was designed with you in mind. Just snap
the individual sections off like you were working with blocks."

Kate gave a nod and took hold of one of the beams that served as the frame.
Giving it a gentle tug, the beam separate with a slight click. Taking a moment
Kate examined the end to insure she hadn't broken it. Once she had confirmed
the click had just been the release mechanism she began to work far more
quickly. Making a neat little pile with the frame work. Kate was to excited
about her gift to consider just what it might be made of and why it had been
in the tank at the moment.

Once the frame work had been removed, Kate held the garment up in front of
herself. Without the structural support the material turned out to be much
longer then Kate expected so that it blocked out the view of the lab. This was
not lost in the men. Michael came up beside Brian. " We are going to need a
larger lab if we are going to grow larger amounts of material. Since we can't
stitch it together."

Kate didn't seem to realize what the men were saying. " I am going to go try
it on." Kate quickly turned and made her way towards one of the empty rooms.
While she didn't mind changing in front of Brian or Michael. She felt it would
be better if she left the room and tried on her new bit of clothing. Once Kate
had left the room Brian and Michael couldn't help but grin at one another.

Michael patted Brian on the back. " Don't worry as soon as she gets off her
buzz she will start asking questions."

Kate quicky removed the rather loose skirt she had been wearing and proceeded
to slip on the one she had just been given. As she did Kate noted how the
material seemed different from anything she had felt before. Everything else
she had worn in her life had felt so very delicate in her hands not to mention
they had always been several imperfections. This material was remarkably
smooth though even to her touch. As she slid her fingers along it, she noted
there was an over-hang along the inner edges. Kate realized it must be the
growth the two had been talking about but didn't think anything of it.

Pressing down on the excess material with her fingernail. Kate could hardly
believe it when she didn't tear through it right away. Slowly she began to
increase the pressure, first enough to cut iron, then steel, then hardened
armor and beyond. She had never in her life had to use this much of her
strength in order to tear through something. At last she was using nearly half
the strength in her fingers and she felt her nail sink through. Kate blinked a
few times having a hard time believing that had just happened. Carefully she
began to move her finger along using her nail to remove the additional
material. Though now it was less about fixing the clothing and more about
making sure, she didn't imagine that.

Brian waited eagerly for Kate to return. Once he heard her foot steps heading
back in their direction he had to resist the urge to set on the edge of the
now removed wall. Though he did move quite close to the edge. Brian was sure
the weeks of work had been well worth it once Kate returned. The skirt she
wore was solid black and fit her form nicely, the material reached down to her
mid-thigh, while along each side there was a slit. The slit started near the
top of the skirt and reached down to the very bottom had Kate been a regular
size woman the opening would have been two inches in width. A strip of
material reached across the opening to hold the material in place and not show
too much skin. Of course had one been close enough to the ground they would
have had quite a wonderful view.

Unfortunately the garment didn't go with Kate's shirt in the least. The solid
white t-shirt and the shiny black material of her skirt just didn't match up.
None the less it was a spectacular view. Brian simply resolved that he would
have to make a shirt for her as soon as possible. Kate soon made it over to
the lab and set down in front of it. From the look on her face Brian could
tell she had calmed down a bit and was ready to talk about just what she was
wearing.

Kate still had a huge smile on her face, however she finally found herself
thinking about what she was wearing and had to ask. " Okay. What is this made
of and why is it so strong?"

Brian glanced at Michael for a moment as if expecting him to reply. When
Michael didn't volunteer to be the speaker Brian stepped forward. " Kate, that
skirt is made from your skin."

Kate blinked her eyes for a few moments then looked down at the black
material. " Are you serious? How did you get it to change color like this and
how did you get it to grow? I mean I didn't give you anywhere near this large
of a sample."

Brian let out a sigh. He had worried that Kate might think it was a little
gross. He had to remind himself that Kate was use to things being made from
her tissue samples. " We managed to trick the growing sample into making more
pigments then what is normal. A great deal more then what you would find in
any human I imagine. We think we can make other colors as well by manipulating
the pigments however this means there is a very limited list. Michael and I
only hope for red, black, white and peach colors."

Kate nodded her head. " Well that explains why it is black. Now how did you
get it to grow? I heard you mention some type of stimulant several times."

Brian rubbed his arm for a moment. He had hoped Kate would be more curious
about the colors. So that he wouldn't have to answer just how they made the
sample grow. However, it seemed she wasn't going to let the question go
unanswered. " The stimulant we used was actually my blood."

Kate blinked her massive eyes a few times " but how? I mean my cells destroy
everything that intrudes on them."

Brian nodded his head. " This is true in everything we tested except my blood.
Once we introduced a bit of my blood to the sample the cells began to
duplicate again. Your cells actually moved to protect mine as if they
recognize each other on a genetic level. Well your cells recognize mine. The
larger sample of my blood we introduced the more your cells duplicated and the
faster. They only stopped when my cells die." Brian waited for a few moments
though he knew what question was coming next.

" How much blood have you given up?"

Brian looked into Kate's eyes. As his gaze met, Kate's he knew he needed to be
entirely truthful in this matter.

" All together it was as if I had donated blood. Please keep in mind that it
was also over several weeks that I did this."

Kate's eyes seemed to soften a bit as Brian assured her that he hadn't given
up a great deal of blood. Not enough to hurt his health and certainly not
enough to be life threatening. " So how did you get it to take this shape?"

Brian and Michael both let out an audible sigh. They had both thought their
research was about to be brought to an end. " The shape is partly thanks to
the structure used and partly thanks to a light sell coating."

Kate nodded her head and ran her hands over the garment. " So does this mean
that we can start selling the samples?"

Brian looked to Michael who finally seemed willing to answer a question. "
Yes. Though not at the moment. You see while we haven't found any signs that
your cells are evolving that sample is still far to up to date. I want to give
some time and wait until it is no longer nearly as advanced as you are."

Kate gave a nod. " That is fine with me. I guess that is why it took about
half my strength to pinch through it."

Brian gave a nod. " Huh. Half your strength. "

" Mm well maybe not half. It took about half of what I imagine it would take
for me to pinch through my own skin."

Brian took a few steps closer to the edge now that Kate was there to catch him
should he fall and the ground wouldn't be shaking. " Half. Well if we knew
what it took to get through that material then we would have an idea of what
it would take to harm you."

Kate looked down at the skirt then back to Brian. " Hmm so you can't adjust
the material once it has been made?"

Michael gave a slight laugh which got Brian and Kate's attention. " Kate, the
only time we have been able to test samples taken from you over the past few
years is after they die. Of course studying the samples wouldn't have been
possible even then if your cells hadn't helped in the process."

" Huh. How did my cells help?"

Brian gave Michael a moment to speak before he answered. " We noticed that as
a sample of your cells begin to die they turn against each other. Your body
brakes itself down in that right. The way we managed to get your cells to
preserve themselves. Well preserve themselves in a sense of the word was to
get them to die suddenly all at once. So this internal struggle to survive the
longest wouldn't take place."

" Now how did you get that to happen?"

" We caused my cells to die all at the same time. It seems that a sudden
removal of the stimulant that caused them to grow also triggers their death."

Kate gave a nod. " So it is like I am wearing leather then or at least I
assume this is how leather would feel?"

Brian gave a shrug. " I can't really say on that one. Since well, the material
is going to feel a lot more solid to me then it does to you."

Kate took a moment to run her hand along the skirt. " All right now. Perhaps
you can tell me whose idea it was to use this design."

Brian felt his face grow a bit red as he felt a blush coming on. " Well it was
mine. I thought that it would be a nice change from your regular outfits."

" He was down right adamant about that design. Why I wouldn't have been
surprised if he got after me with a scalpel if I had disagreed."

Brian was about to comment but he didn't get to. An amused giggle came from
Kate. " Well it doesn't really go with any of my current outfits but perhaps
you can fix that later. Though I want you to get careful, Brian if I think you
are putting yourself in any danger I will stop the research right then and
there."

Brian gave a nod. "I will be careful."

" Mm so this outfit should be able to handle nearly any stress I put on it
provided I don't intentionally try to damage it?"

Brian nodded. " Yeah."

Kate placed her hands on the ground for a moment. A moment later she pushed
herself backward while setting on her rear. Immediately after words Kate stood
up and looked down at her bottom. " Wow." An amused giggle escaped Kate. " I
don't know if I like the all leather look but it is neat having something I
don't have to worry about shredding. When do you think you can begin working
on the next piece of the outfit, do you have a design chosen already, is there
anything you need?"

Brian felt quite pleased with himself as Kate seemed to truly like her gift. "
Well we could use the lab expanded again if you can manage that and we will
need more chemicals. At least we will need that done later. We could go ahead
and try to make you a matching shirt though. I even have a few ideas."

" I bet you do." Kate's tone was more then a little teasing which made the
blush from earlier return to Brian's face. Kate noted this and reached one of
her hands into the lab. Brian had been moving closer and closer to the edge of
the structure for a while now so she didn't have to reach very far. Brian felt
Kate's fingers close in around him and he was lifted from the floor. Brought
before her massive lips. Kate gently pressed Brian against her lower lip. Then
she slowly began to move him along her lower them around her upper in a gentle
kiss.

Brian loved the feeling of the soft pink flesh against his skin, as he was so
close to Kate he could smell her breath. It came out in sweet waves. Brian
felt his body tremble a bit and was grateful that Kate was holding him for his
legs seemed to grow weak. When at last he was pulled away Brian was breathing
hard and had a large grin on his face. He barely noticed that Kate's left hand
was pressed to her cheek. He saw why a moment later as Kate pulled Michael
away.

" Thank you both for what you have done for me. Well I think I will let you
two decide on what the next bit of clothing looks like since you did so well
on the first one. I just hope that you can come up with some more colors."

Brian couldn't quite respond as he was still recovering from the kiss. Michael
however having only gotten a hug was able to speak easily. " We will do our
best."

" Do you need another sample?"

Michael quickly shook his head in the negative. " No especially after what you
told me about the material."

Kate blinked her eyes, as she was unsure of why Michael had responded so
quickly. " What did I tell you?"

" You said the material took about half your strength to pinch through it.
This makes me worried that if enough was made it could be used to bind you. A
fresher sample would be even stronger. I feel that for safeties sake we should
only grow those samples that you could tear easily."

Kate nodded her head. " So how long will it be before the current sample is
ready to be replaced and sold?"

Michael didn't respond right away but looked over towards Kate's other hand.
He couldn't see Brian but had an idea of why he wasn't speaking. " Kate did
you put the poor boy in a coma."

Kate gave a giggle. " Just a light one."

Michael gave a nod. " Anyway, that it took about half your strength to pinch
through is useful information. I think in seven more weeks it will be safe to
take a fresh sample from you if my theory proves correct." Michael closed his
eyes for a moment as if thinking. " Yeah seven more weeks should be long
enough."

Kate gave a nod. " Okay." Kate gave a slight giggle. " Anyway, I am just happy
to have some clothing that can endure my weight. Though with this skirt I
don't really have to worry about getting it caught between my knee and the
ground."

" No. That you don't. "

******************************************************************************

Brian looked up towards Kate's towering form as she walked around the living
room. Every time she would take a step he could feel the vibrations run
throughout the floor. Despite the floor being designed to dampen the force of
the impacts he could still feel them slightly. Currently Kate was working on
one of the bits of furniture. Picking it up and moving it to various places as
she tried to decide where it would look best. Brian on the other hand was
taking this time to explore their house hold at ground level.

As Brian began to wonder around the shaking grew more intense. Stopping dead
in his tracks he watched as Kate walked in his direction. Each foot fall
sending a shockwave throughout the area. Smiling to himself, Brian proceeded
to set down in order to avoid being shaken to the floor. The specially made
alloy of the floor made for a rather poor seat, the melt was horribly solid
and would only feel soft to someone like Kate. Still it was better then being
thrown to the floor by Kate's steps and a further reminder this was a world
built for her.

Setting down was still better then being thrown down despite the floor being
uncomfortable. Also he knew what was about to happen and felt it was well
worth it. As Kate's foot came down just a few feet in front of him, he could
tell she had delayed her step more then usual in order to avoid harming. Brian
looked strait up towards the heavens a moment later and found himself looking
up the length of Kate's towering legs. Those wonderfully toned limbs reaching
higher then most buildings and so much stronger.

Kate delayed her step giving Brian's gaze plenty of time to reach her panties.
The simple garment hugged her tightly showing the outline of her tight heart
shaped rear and lips so wonderfully. " Mm now that is the prettiest moon I
have ever seen."

Kate gave an amused giggle and placed her feet beside each other. " OH
really." Bending down Kate brought her rear closer to Brian. Her wonderfully
formed rump taking up more and more of his view. She brought herself as low as
her legs would allow without actually setting down or using her arms to
balance herself. Reaching back she slipped her fingers into her panties and
proceeded to pull the garment down, fully exposing her tush.

Brian had been expected this but still let out an exceptionally enthusiastic
cheer. As he looked towards Kate's panties though he noted she had pulled them
far enough down that perhaps he could climb in. He quickly sprang to his feet
and made a dash for the garment.

" Now isn't that view better?" Kate playfully teased, however grew curious
when there was no response. Glancing down Kate couldn't help but let out a
giggle, as she noted what Brian was doing. Kate's wiggled her toes a bit as
she debated on just what she should do. Brian had wanted to wonder around the
house and she had enjoyed him looking up to her. However, he looked so cute
that she didn't want to deny him his goal.

Brian couldn't help himself. If Kate was going to tease him like that then he
was going to play along. As he made it to the part of the garment that was
closest to the ground he gave a quick leap and managed to catch hold of the
side. As he pulled himself up on the material, he rolled over to the edge.
Brian didn't get a chance to decide if he wanted to be in the front or the
back. The moment he came to a stop inside of Kate's panties she quickly pulled
them back on. Brian felt himself between Kate's cheeks. The wall of white
cloth behind him and the massive cheeks to either side trapping him. " Mm now
I thought you wanted to explore the house on your own two legs."

Brian heard Kate and called out. " I do but I rather explore the moon for
now."

Kate positively purred. " Very well my little one. You can explore the house
later. Until then enjoy the ride." Kate felt Brian's tiny hand pressed against
her rear. A moment later she felt his little lips touch her flesh.

Brian was a breast and pussy man by far however, that didn't stop him from
enjoying a nice rump and Kate's was the best he had ever seen. It wasn't long
before he found himself running his hands along her skin and depositing kisses
along her flesh. He heard a sigh of appreciation issue forth from Kate and
continue to caress her rump. He knew that sigh meant he would be spending
quite some time riding in the back seat but he was fine with that. It was nice
to visit the back after spending so much time in the front and he didn't want
to get Kate to worked up. Other wise he wouldn't be exploring anything but
Kate for the rest of the day.

" Kate can be somewhat paranoid at times." Brian looked over at Michael who
was currently walking beside him.

" Well she is just making sure you are safe."

" Yeah but making everyone leave the area before she would allow us to walk
around without her. You remember what she said she would do to anyone she
heard in these rooms while we were walking around with her."

Michael nodded his head in confirmation. " Put them in a soup."

"And she meant it. All well it is nice to know she loves so much." Brian
looked up towards the roof for a moment. He was somewhat disappointed that he
did see a pair of white panties drawn tight over a firm rear. The two men
continued in silence for a few moments. " Thanks for joining me on this walk
by the way."

" You're welcome, anyway it is the only way to keep you out of Kate's
underwear it seems."

" Oh we aren't that bad."

" Yes you two are. Why if I hadn't been the lab, I bet you would have gotten a
kiss from two sets of lips instead of one."

Brian started to protest but thought about it for a moment. Considering how
Kate had responded to the cakes before they had even gotten so close. He knew
that Michael was right. Instead he turned his attention to the massive
structure that would eventually serve as a bath tub. " It is going to be
something else seeing Kate actually setting down in a pool of water."

" Yeah I imagine you will enjoy the sight quite a bit. It has been quite a few
years since Kate had actually been anything like a bath tub. The last time I
remember seeing her take such a soak was." Michael grew silent for a moment. "
I think the last time was before she topped 200 feet or so but that really
wasn't a bath."

" I am going to take a look inside of it."

" Okay, then I shall join you. Just don't walk so fast."

Brian glanced back at the old man. " I have seen you walking around the lab. I
know you are in better shape then that."

Michael laughed a bit. " So I am. However, if we plan on visiting the other
rooms we are going to need to conserve our energy. Especially since you two
decided not to ask for elevators to be put on the furniture built to Kate's
scale."

" You have a very good point there. Okay we can take it easy."

" I am glad that Kate didn't develop a strong dislike of the EES system. Other
wise this would have been a very difficult project indeed."

Brian nodded. " I think I have a stronger dislike of that machine then she
does but yeah. I mean this place would probably need a nuclear generator other
wise."

" Mm I don't know about that. I mean you could have just had a few turbines
set up and let Kate work them for a while each day."

Brian nodded and the men continued in silence until they came to the edge of
what would serve as a bath tub. " I wish this place could have looked more
like a normal home. I mean the bath tub looks normal at least while we were
far away but not." Brian walked past the steps and ran his hand along the
metal for a moment.

" The limitations of technology. Come now. We need to get to climbing."
Michael began to make his way up the steps and Brian followed behind a few
moments later.

As the two began to make their way up the ladder Brian found the climb to be
quite easy after all the times, he had tried to climb Kate's towering form.
Despite this he found climbing Kate to be a far more enjoyable experience. The
climb took less time then it would have had the tub been built with a standard
design. Rather, instead of being entirely above ground half of its height was
under the ground. This had made construction easier and served to shorten the
climb by a considerable deal.

Brian looked across the massive opening. A tub large enough that one could
have put a ship inside of. At least certain ships. Michael noted the look on
Brian's face. " I see that you are looking forward to not having to worry
about the salt water while you have some aquatic fun with Kate."

Brian nodded his head. " Yeah. That was always one draw back. You know you
seem awfully relaxed about this considering your relationship with Kate."

" Huh. I don't think so. I am glad Kate finally has someone that can give her
the type of affection that she needs." Michael looked around for a moment when
something caught his eyes. " What the devil is over there?"

Brian followed Michael's gaze. " Just a regular sized bath tub. Kate had it
built into hers just incase."

Michael glanced at Brian. " You have got to be joking. Do you really think
that Kate would ever let you bath without her?"

Brian was about to respond in the affirmative but considered the question. "
No. I guess having a smaller bath tub built there was kind of silly."

Michael nodded his head in agreement. " Well then shall we move onto the next
sight?"

" Sure."

Michael stood on the opposite end of the sink looking over a few of the built
in items. What had his attention at the moment was what effectively amounted
to a fire hose except it was a fair amount larger with a massive handle.
Reaching out Michael pressed his hands to the lever which he assumed would
turn it on. When the lever didn't move he proceeded to add his body weight to
the effort but still no progress was made. " Well I suppose this is purely for
Kate's use."

Brian grinned and walked over to were Michael was. " Let us see if we can both
turn it on."

Michael gave a nod and both men leaned into the effort. The effort was
ultimately futile though. Leaning against the handle Brian gave a slight
laugh. " I swear we can't even turn on Kate's tooth brush."

" It is a shame that Kate can't use anything even resembling a standard tooth
brush."

Brian shook his head. " Actually, Kate said she prefers just to use a high
pressure water hose to clean her teeth and face off. Hey has Kate ever had
anything like a dentist appointment?"

" Yes she has. More then a few actually. Though they were never due to her
teeth hurting her."

" I was about to say a lucky girl but I guess that is little consolation. In
comparison to the rest of her life."

" Is that what Kate has said?"

" Actually, no. She doesn't seem to have any regrets about her life."

" Then she is very fortunate. Now what else have you got up here? This place
is a little sparse especially considering how long it took to climb up here.
Of course now that I consider it. I imagine everything is fairly sparse when
compared to a standard person's items."

" Yes. She doesn't have any use of soap or toothpaste as she just uses high
pressure water to tear everything away from her body. You couldn't find a
towel large enough or strong enough and she doesn't need one. She just takes a
few steps and is entirely dry."

Michael gave a nod. " It is a rather nice reminder of her scale isn't it?"

" Yeah. I would have to say it is." Brian grew silent for a moment. " Well
that would have been a dumb question."

" What was it?"

" I nearly asked why Kate's breath is so sweet. I have to remind myself at
times that her body isn't the body of a human at a larger scale. If it was,
she couldn't feel me, probably could hear me and could hardly see me."

" You wouldn't be hearing, seeing or feeling her either though."

" How come?"

" She would have been dead long ago. You know we really need to quit
discussing this depressing stuff. I don't really feel like learning about how
the potty was made. How about we make our way to another room?"

Brian nodded his head in agreement. " What room would you like to see next?"

" I think the kitchen would be interesting to see. How many more rooms are
there?"

" Well the living room is finished, the restroom is done, as is the utility
room, master bedroom and kitchen."

Michael gave a nod. " So the only rooms that aren't finished yet are the
additional bedrooms Kate insisted they build."

" Yeah one of those is complete actually. The other two are nearing
completion." Brian started to walk down the steps and was followed by Michael.
" It seems kind of odd having the extra rooms to be built. I just hope I can
have a child with Kate. She wants one so badly and seems so sure of it."

" Kate is very confident in her body's ability to adapt. I hope I am around to
see the children."

Brian walked around the massive salt and pepper shaker. While everything else
within the structure seemed to have some flaw in it that made it obvious that
it was actually over sized these containers didn't. At least so long as one
didn't look inside to see that there were no giant grains of salt or pepper
just a great deal of tiny grains. As Brian stepped away from the containers,
he let out a disappointed sigh. " I don't like these."

" Why is that little one?" Brian and Michael both turned their heads in the
direction of the voice and found Kate standing in the door way. A large grin
spread on her face as she realized she had actually managed to sneak up on
them. Stilling smiling, she walked over to the sink and leaned over Brian.

Brian rubbed his chin for a moment. " It just doesn't seem right."

" What doesn't seem right?"

" The idea of you being anything other then what you are. While I was standing
here for a moment, I thought of myself as being small and you being a regular
sized woman. I hate that thought."

Kate's eyes seem to brighten a bit and Brian felt himself lifted from the
counter. He was pressed to Kate's lips moments later. " I heard you men going
into the kitchen so I thought I would help show you around. After all they are
a few things that you can't really work on your own." Kate proceeded to reach
out with her free hand and retrieve Michael from the counter before setting
him down in her right hand with Brian. " So what would you like to see first?"

" Well Brian here already showed me the kitchen area you had set up for us
normal people. Though I think, I will stick to using the one in my little
house for the time being. How about we see how you are keeping things stored?"

Kate turned towards a section of the wall that sported various square doors.
As they grew closer both Michael and Brian could read the labels that adorned
the outside. Kate opened up the one that was labeled grain and flipped it
open. Reaching in she withdrew a shipping container with a modified back. Kate
proceeded to flip the back side of the container open allowing the men to peer
in for a moment. " I even have a stove and pots that are large enough for me
to work with though what I can cook is still highly limited."

Kate proceeded to close the container and slip it back within its slot.
Deciding to show off the little bit of cooking wear she had handy. As she
started to set out the few items Michael couldn't help but ask. " Kate how
much have you been eating as of late?"

Kate grew silent for a moment and seemed to take the question into serious
consideration. " Huh, well that is odd. I haven't eaten a ton over the last
few days. The last time I can remember feeling like I needed, a snack was when
you took that sample from me and that was several weeks ago. Ever since then I
have just been eating well to be sociable while Brian ate. I haven't had a
chance to really use these."

Brian couldn't help but express his theory on the subject. " I suppose it may
have something to do with the fact that your body has stopped growing and is
probably just reusing the materials. Tearing apart cells that are no longer
suitable and reusing the materials. Then there is the little matter of you not
using food for energy."

Kate let out a sigh and picked up a pot that would have worked for a swimming
pool. Of course this meant it easily rested in just one of her hands. " Well
then I am just going to have to try and make myself something even if I don't
feel hungry. I suppose I can start on the easily perishable items and have
them slowly replaced. Replaced with items that will last longer if I am not
going to be eating as much as planned."

Michael gave a nod. " You may end up eating far less then what any of us
realizes at the moment."

Kate and Michael looked in Brian's direction when they heard him laughing a
few moments later. " I am sorry. I just thought of something that well I found
amusing. Though I don't know why."

Kate immediately felt her curiosity peeked. " What is it?"

Brian took a moment to steady myself. " Oh I just remembered the threat you
made to the workers earlier about going into any of the completed rooms while
Michael and I were exploring without you. Perhaps, you have just been building
up an appetite in anticipation of a different kind of meal. I know I shouldn't
find it funny."

Kate blinked her eyes for a few moments, a quirky smile formed on her lips and
she let out an amused giggle. " Mm I can't say that was my original intentions
but maybe subconsciously." Kate's tongue flicked out and smacked against the
surface of her lips. Though the impact was light for Kate, the muscle was so
strong and vast that Brian and Michael were slightly shaken by the force of
the impact. " Mm and now I could even bread and bake them or I think I even
have some butter."

Brian didn't worry if Kate was joking or not. All that happened was a lopsided
grin formed on his face and he gave her hand a quick kiss. Michael didn't feel
unwelcome at the moment, however he also felt a little out of place
considering how Kate and Brian were looking at one another. " You know what.
Brian has had me walking around for a while now and I have built up a bit of
an appetite. Would you mind setting me down at the little people kitchen so I
can cook myself something?"

Kate gave a nod. " Okay. I think I will fix myself something as well." Kate
looked at Brian. " Sorry but you will have to cook for yourself as well."

Brian gave a nod. " That is fine."

After Kate set Michael and Brian down Michael leaned over a bit clearly
indicating, this was a private conversation. He knew that Kate could hear both
of them she could hear them anywhere in the structure it seemed. That said she
wouldn't comment about the conversation. " Sorry about that. I just meant for
her to set me down and give you two some alone time."

" Yeah right. You were just tired of walking around so much so you figured you
would leave me alone with Kate and not have to worry about wondering around
for a few hours."

" You should be grateful how often does a loving father figure try to push his
someone into the hands of his daughter?"

" True I will give you that much but then again unlike most father figures.
You don't have to worry about me taking advantage of Kate."

" I know it is just plain wonderful. I could even have a conversation with
Kate and not have to see you. Even when you are in the same room. A rather
nifty bit of knowledge especially if we ever tire of one another's company
while working."

Kate couldn't help but let out an amused giggle. She knew that she wasn't
supposed to be butting into the conversation but Michael and Brain's sarcastic
tones were a bit much for her. Kate tried to focus on her cooking instead of
the men's conversations as she tried to figure out what she would like to
prepare for herself. She knew that it would need to take a little while so
just throwing a few things into the pot and boiling them wasn't going to work.
Looking towards Brian and Michael. " I think I am going to try and make
breaded sides of beef."

Brian gave a nod. " Don't burn the house down."

Kate stuck her tongue out at her little one. " Well if you are so worried
about my cooking skills. Why don't you give me some help?"

Brian quickly backed up. " Sorry I don't know how to cook giantess food."

"That is okay. Neither do I." Kate grew silent for a moment. " Uh Brian I
could really use some help. I don't know anything about cooking."

Brian couldn't help but give a smile, " Okay then I shall help you. Now I
can't do any of the manual stuff but I suppose I can take the cook books
place."

Brian felt Kate's fingers lift him from the counter a few moments later and he
was deposited on her shoulder. " Okay. What do I do first?"

" First. You should probably start the burner. I imagine it is going to take
quite some time to cook all of this. Next make sure you have all the
ingredients you are going to need. Some sides of beef, flower and a lot of
milk being the most important."

Kate gave a nod. She already knew that much but decided to just follow Brian's
instructions and see what happened.

Brian watched as Kate poured half a container of milk into one of the pots.
The pot itself was the size of an Olympic swimming but it looked so very small
compared to Kate's hands. She added the flower a few moments later and began
to stir the mixture. As Brian watched Kate stir the mixture with a rod, that
looked to be several of the support beams linked together he realized a
mistake. " Kate, you need to see if you have some kind of cooking oil to put
into the pot."

"Whoops." Kate didn't take more then a few steps before she was back to the
storage area. A relieved smile formed on her face when she proceeded to dig
around and found the needed item. " How much."

" Well normally I would say as little as you can work with but in your
situation. Just make sure you have enough to submerge however many sides of
beef you plan on making." As Brian watched Kate poor the oil into the pot he
couldn't help but think about their previous conversations. Those sides of
beef Kate would be cooking were about the size of a person. They could very
well have been people if Kate had decided to cook some. Of course he didn't
know if Kate would actually cook anyone if she decided to actually eat a
person. She could very well eat them alive. " Kate, may I ask you something
that is a little morbid?"

"Brian. You know you can ask me anything."

Brian nodded and took a moment to wonder if he really wanted to ask Kate his
question. He knew that he would get an honest answer. " If things did come to
the point where you were going to eat some people. Would you prefer to eat
them alive or cooked?"

" Mm that depends a bit too much on the situation for me to give you a strait
answer."

" Then please elaborate."

Kate glanced at Brian for a moment. " First. Why are you asking?"

Brian rubbed the back of his neck. " Because I am curious. I don't know why. I
just am."

" Okay. The first thing I would need to worry about is if they are any people
I am taking care of. Of course I am not going to waste resources cooking
whenever I have other people to concern myself with. For example lets say that
someone decided to blockade our little home and I had to worry about you and
Michael. I wouldn't bother cooking the little sailors that I snacked on.

There is also the little matter of if I want them to suffer and if I need
anything from them. I don't have enough experience to be sure but from what
experience I do have. I much prefer the feeling of living people in my mouth
sliding down my throat and into my belly. Cooking would be more for if I
wanted to actually get some information from them. After all even I can't hear
them once they are in my tummy. While cooking may add some extra flavor just
knowing that they are alive seems to make it a more complete.." Kate grew
silent for a moment as she considered her wording.

" I can't think of how to term it. Ah wait. Eating them while they are still
alive seems to make my domination over them more complete. While if they are
dead, I am just making use of a lifeless corpse. Of course if I am looking
after someone there is another reason for me to just eat them while they are
alive. Cooking takes away from my concentration and takes time."

Brian nodded his head. " So I imagine if they made you angry enough to kill
them you would prefer to eat them alive?"

Kate tapped her chin for a moment. " I don't really know. It all depends on
how upset I am and what point I am trying to make."

Brian gave a shrug. " That flower looks ready. Why don't you go ahead and add
the sides of beef, mix them up a bit and then put them in? At least after the
oil is hot enough."

" Isn't there normally just a light layer of breading?" Kate blinked her eyes
for a moment then covered her forehead. " I feel silly now."

Brian patted Kate's shoulder. " Don't worry you are new to this."

" A foot of breading wouldn't be much to me. I don't imagine that much is
going to stick to it."

As Kate dumped the sides of beef into the pot Brian stood up and began to make
his way across Kate's shoulder towards her neck. The fabric of her t-shirt
came to an end and he climbed down upon her skin. Kate didn't know what Brian
was up to but she didn't say anything as he made his way over to her throat.
Then she felt his tiny hands press against her skin and he leaned forward
against the bit of her neck he could reach. His tiny lips pressed to her skin.

Brian felt Kate's right hand move behind him. He was pinched between her
fingers and lifted from his spot. Kate moved Brian from the side of her neck
to the very front. Her massive fingers then gently pressed him against her
throat.

With Kate's throat in front of him her massive fingers behind him and her
lovely chin above him Brian couldn't see what was happening. Then he felt a
slight shift as Kate opened her jaw. Wether Kate intentionally exaggerated the
action of swallowing, it was his imagination or it was simply Kate's throat
working Brian couldn't be sure. However, he could have sworn he could feel
Kate's throat move ever so slightly as she swallowed one of the sides of beef.

Brian hadn't seen it but he knew that it was one of the raw sides of beef.
Kate held Brian against her throat for a while longer soon Kate felt Brian's
tiny hands reach out and press against her skin. He leaned forward and began
to leave tiny kisses all along her throat. Why was he doing this? Brian didn't
even know why he had asked the question. He didn't know why he had asked the
question or why he found himself kissing her throat all he knew was that he
couldn't stop himself.

At last Kate pulled Brian away from her throat and returned him to her
shoulder. Large smiles on both of their faces. Then as if nothing had happened
Brian resumed Kate's cooking lesson.

" Hey now. What am I going to eat?" Brian glanced up at Kate as he realized
that while helping Kate he hadn't been able to prepare himself anything.

Kate gave a slight laugh. " I imagine what Michael is cooking for the two of
you." Kate spoke loud enough so that Michael could hear her.

Michael looked up from his seated position. " Tell him not to worry I am
making enough for the two of us. I figured I would need to after you picked
him up. I have two steaks and some potatoes cooking."

" Michael is cooking you a steak as well."

" I like mine well done."

" Are they steaks well done?"

" Not yet but I can fix that."

Michael found himself lifted into the air a few moments later and pressed
against Kate's cheek. " Thanks for the help."

" No trouble at all now please put me back. Brian may like his steaks
well-done but I don't."

" Mm I wonder if I got my liking of the more raw food from you."

" Oh I doubt that one. Now please put me down the steak shall burn at this
rate." Michael found himself back on the counter and near the stove a few
moments later. Once Michael was back on the table Kate proceeded too poor the
sides of beef she planned to eat into the flower. She when quickly moved the
beef into the pool of by now bubbling oil.

" How long do I need to let it cook?"

Brian looked down at the oil for a moment. " I don't really know. I haven't
ever cooked anything that big. I guess you should just wait until it looks
browned."

Kate gave a nod. " That sounds good. I don't have to worry about food
poisoning after all. If I did, those soldiers would have done me in."

" Do you think they poisoned you at the camp?"

" Well they might have tried but I meant the soldiers I ate. Humans are so
full of illness after all. Hey maybe that is why you taste so good. After all
traditionally the worse something is for you the better it tastes. Well when
dealing with food items."

Brian shook his head a bit. " Does that mean I need to be concerned?"

" No. Well then again I don't know. You are my little sweety. Is there
anything else you need to tell me?"

" Not as far as this meal goes. Why?"

Brian felt Kate's fingers picking him up just moments later. All to quickly he
realized what was going to happen as Kate brought him around to her face. Her
massive mouth opened wide and tongue extended outward. As Kate realized Brian
he was caught on the tip of her massive tongue and quickly pulled into the
void of her mouth. Kate couldn't help but give a wicked smile as she used her
tongue to play with Brian while he was in her mouth.

Brian and Michael's table rested atop the table that had been built Kate. The
structure was actually large even for Kate as it had been built as if meant
for several giantess instead of home. This had been done in hopes just incase
Kate could actually become pregnant and the children grew to be as large as
their mother. Brian currently had a fresh change of clothes on and had been
washed off after being kept in Kate's mouth for some 40 minutes while she
waited for her meal to cook.

" Kate would you mind if I cut my tour of your home short after dinner? I
think the living room, kitchen and bathroom are more then sufficient."

" Are you tired? Brian and you could just ride on my shoulder."

Michael shook his head. " That would give me an inaccurate view of everything.
Of course I don't know if I am ever going to be walking back to those rooms on
my own."

" Okay. " Kate popped one of the sides of beef into her mouth and proceeded to
chew. Her massive teeth coming down upon the bit of cattle covered it
entirely. Before Kate bit down upon the beef though she felt an odd impulse.
Her jaw slowed and she bit down more lightly. Kate felt her teeth press
against the beef and then it began to be forced down. The bones bent at first
began to crack and then began braking.

The meet collapsed more nicely until it could go no further. The firm muscle
didn't offer any resistance but Kate could tell when it began to burst. The
cow seeming to liquify under the tremendous pressure of her teeth. Only that
bit of meat that was caught between the few uneven areas in Kate's teeth was
able to avoid being pulped. It was more liquid then solid what Kate sucked
down a moment later. Kate had only bit down once.

" So how did the sides of beef turn out?" Brian looked up towards Kate's
towering form. Having seen the look on her face he figured it was from her
food.

" I think it taste pretty good actually. Of course this is comparison to what
I have eaten in the past. Those cakes you made me were the best though."

Brian couldn't help but grin feeling quite pleased with himself. He resolved
right there that he would have to try and surprise Kate with a few treats
later on. Of course he could have just bought them and given her more, but he
doubted she would enjoy those as much and he was certain he wouldn't enjoy
giving them to her as much.

******************************************************************************

" Is that all you are going to need?" Kate looked down at Brian and Michael. A
tiny list rested between Kate's thumb and index finger. The items that Brian
and Michael needed as well as details for how the lab needed to be expanded.

Michael glanced upon from the table he currently sat at. " Yes it is. Also you
may want to consider cancelling any orders you have for additional clothing
since we are going to be producing them here now."

Kate gave a nod. " All right. I will drop this off and then I think I will
wonder around for a while since you two are going to be working."

Brian waved his hand. " See you later."

Brian found his wave to be a bit premature as Kate lifted him from his work
station and to her massive lips. " Don't work too hard." Kate pressed Brian's
tiny form to her lips before returning him to his work station. Standing up
and turning around Kate gave her skirt a light flick causing Brian to get a
quick glimpse of her rear before walking off.

Kate took in a deep breath of air as she stepped outside. A tingle seemed to
run up her legs starting from her feet, reaching to her knees all the way up
to her thighs. The same tingle that reached from her hands down through her
arms. Kate rapped her arms around herself letting out a long moan as she
squeezed as tight as she could. Her head tilted to the side and a blissful
smile was worn on her face. It simply felt so good to be able to step outside
instead of have to crawl every time.

Looking around the island that had become her home she began to make her way
towards the beach front and dock area. She would need to speak with the
officer that was in charge of supplies and unloading the ships. As Kate walked
away from her home she looked over her shoulder. The massive structure took up
a fair amount of land but that was to be expected. Of course Kate could see it
from anywhere on the island. At least she didn't ever have to worry about
becoming lost.

She ran her fingers over the medal. The tiny bit of material that detailed her
rank a rank that in title was higher then any she had ever held. Yet the rank
was entirely worthless as in all truth she was simply a supply depot commander
with larger pay then normal. It seemed as if they had insured the medal would
shine even more brightly then normal not in an attempt to honor her but more
as an act of scorn. A way to remind her that all she had was a title now. A
leader who was not allowed to lead anything more then a few soldiers whose
task was only to keep the area supplied.

Kate soon came upon the supply station. Effectively a small military base
which was meant to insure supplies arrived on the island and to deliver them
as well. Of course supplies going out had superior security when compared to
those coming in. Then again few would have any interest in those that came in
as they were meant for Kate and their disappearance could very easily provoke
her. Those supplies that were shipped out would be materials taken from Kate
and research data. That however would most likely be sent by airplane as the
little landing strip indicated.

As Kate neared, she watched as a few people that were outside quickly
retreated inside the building. Clearly even if they knew the building wouldn't
protect them they didn't want any of her attention. At least those that worked
on construction didn't run from her. Kate felt the muscles on the sides of her
face stretched to their limits as a smile formed on her lovely lips. Upon
noticing the figure that did walk out to meet her.

Sheila was about to greet Kate when she felt herself scooped up and quickly
whisked to Kate's cheek. " Sheila? It is so good to see you. I haven't gotten
to speak with you since the camp."

Sheila didn't respond right away as the quick movement had left her some what
dizzy. " Kate, it is good to see you as well."

" Why are you here?" Kate held Sheila away from her face so she could get a
better look at her.

Sheila took a moment to clear her throat and put on a smile. " Well with the
facility destroyed. I was reassigned. I am now in charge of this supply
depot."

" Goody that means that I can come and visit you even while Brian and Michael
are in the lab working."

Sheila gave a nod. " I would be happy if you visited me. It seems that I am
going to have a lot more free time then I use to." Sheila didn't bother
telling Kate how she truly felt the change in her command how her rank only
meant something on the island. " I was beginning to wonder when you would come
by and visit. Is there anything you need?"

" Yes I do." Kate held up her index finger and removed her pinky so that
Sheila could see the pad of paper. " Brian and Michael want to make these
changes to the next orders we receive." Kate moved Sheila closer to her finger
so that she could pick up the paper work.

Sheila didn't bother glancing at the papers right away. She had plenty of time
to kill. Her new position gave her plenty. " So how is everything going at
your home? The only orders I have been receiving have been for the same thing
and construction material."

" It has been going quite well though I hate to think how long it would have
taken if I had to depend purely on the little people to build it. I would have
come by sooner if I had known you are going to be in charge of the little
soldiers around here." Kate proceeded to lower herself so that she was setting
on her knees. She then deposited Sheila back on the ground.

As Sheila looked up towards Kate, she could tell that something had changed in
their relationship. Kate had said that she was in charge of the little
soldiers not that she was in charge. Of course Sheila knew the truth, Kate was
the one that was now in charge of the island and ultimately the only reason
she was currently alive. Kate didn't need her anymore, she would have
delivered the list just the same if it had been a regular soldier. " So you
have been helping to speed up the construction?"

Kate giggled a bit. " I haven't just speed up the construction I have
practically built the entire thing. I tend to help with the work while Brian
and Michael work in the lab though now that they are finishing up I can use
that time to visit with you. I also help out while Brian is sleeping."

" Now what have those two been doing in the lab?"

" They have been studying some of my skin samples though they don't bother
with blood any longer." Kate rubbed her arm a bit. " I am grateful for that.
Now I just have to scratch myself a little to give what is needed."

Sheila nodded her head. " I am glad to hear that."

Kate and Sheila kept silent for a few moments as Kate scanned the area. " I
have been working on my home for so long I hadn't really looked around out
here. How are the structures coming?"

" Quite nicely. This isn't actually a large under taking. Just enough troops
here to handle unloading the ships and a large enough dock. It was nice of you
to agree to pick up the items once they have been unloaded."

Kate smirked. " Well actually the reason I did that wasn't to be nice. I just
want to keep them as far away from my home as possible and I imagine most want
to keep as far away from me as they possibly can. Mm if you are handling the
shipping side over here. Who is handling the receiving side?"

" Debra was actually put in charge of that. It is kind of fitting she has been
responsible for bringing people to meet you for so long. Now she helps with
bringing other things."

Kate rubbed the back of her neck having realized a pattern. " Everyone that
has worked with me has been given a position on this haven't they?"

Sheila gave a nod. " A few of them have."

" I guess some are to frightened."

" I don't know for certain but there isn't really a great deal of jobs to
fill."

Kate took a few moments to get a good look at the little building that served
as the main office. " Have houses been built for the soldiers that are going
to be staying here?"

" Yes at the same spot as the workers for your home. Once they are finished
working on your home most of the houses will be demolished leaving a few
behind for those that work at the facility."

Kate couldn't help but give a toothy smile, " Do you think I could demolish
them?"

" You would need to speak to whoever is in charge of construction. Though I
doubt, they will mind." Sheila didn't bother speaking further, she didn't want
to talk about the fact that shipping was now her only responsibility. That and
insuring that Kate didn't come back to the states.

Kate gave a quick nod. " I will have to do that then." Kate straitened up so
that she was setting on her knees. Looking around she began to look at the
little building that served as the office. She had been so surprised that
Sheila had been there she hadn't stopped to look at it. The little structure
was only a one story building with a few windows, the walls were red brick and
looked fairly sturdy but nothing special. A few antennas and other equipment
set on the roof and that was about it. Other all the structure was
unimpressive. " I guess if anything ever happened I am expected to protect my
home."

Sheila gave a nod. " Yes that seems to be the case."

A slight giggle came from Kate and she proceeded to bring her right arm up in
a biceps curl. " Well there you don't have anything to worry about. I will
look out for you and the little soldiers as well should anything happen. Well
unless it is the US military that is causing the trouble."

" That is nice to know."

Kate brought her arm back down and bent her legs again so that she could set
her hands atop her knees. " Well I am going go and take a look around. I
haven't really looked over the buildings the military built for their use."

" Okay. Then I will start reading over the list."

Kate gave a nod and proceeded to stand up to her full towering height. As she
rose into the air Sheila found herself looking upward, trying to remember if
she had seen Kate standing up since she had stopped growing. She couldn't
remember ever seeing Kate at such a large size as for a moment she couldn't
see her face. All she could see was the underside of Kate's massive breast. No
matter how capable Kate had been, Sheila had always felt she was looking out
for her. Now she knew that wasn't the case anymore. Kate had grown beyond her
ability to protect not just because her body but because she now had a new
emotional support system.

Kate didn't think too much of the conversation as she walked away from the
building. It wasn't like she wanted a large military presence around her home
after all. It was one of the reasons she had chosen the spot. Now she felt
like taking a look at the docks. Though she didn't expect to see anything
special.

The docks were pretty much as simple as Kate had expected them to be. Clearly
this wasn't going to be a busy area though it did have to be fairly large in
order to bring in the supplies Kate had listed. When construction had been
fully, under way was most likely the busiest the docks would ever be and Kate
was quite happy with that. In truth Kate didn't want to see a ship more then
once a month.

Kate glanced toward the crane which she imagined was used to unload the ships.
Standing up she couldn't resist the urge to compare her height to that of the
machines. She was exceptionally amused to see that its height only came up to
around that of her ankle. Kate gave her head a quick shake. " I need something
to do." Turning away from the docks, she began to make her way towards the
barracks that had been built for the crew and military personnel.

" What the?" Kate slowly set down as her massive eyes focused on the tiny sign
before her. Leaning closer she continued to stare at the little object to
assure herself that she was seeing what she saw. The little object looked to
be a yellow caution sign except it had the image of what was clearly a mouth
and a hand. The hand had a little human held above the mouth and had released
it. There was then a massive slash through the image. The meaning was fairly
obvious, no eating the people.

Kate lips spread into a wide grin and she wrapped her arms around herself. She
felt her side convulse for a moment. As she tried to contain her laugher her
body started shaking and her lips parted to show her teeth. A few moments
later Kate couldn't hold it back any longer and she found herself shaking with
laugher. Considering how most of the workers had responded to her, she most
assuredly didn't expect to see such a sign set up. Kate continued to giggle as
she realized that it most likely wasn't truly meant for her. Rather it was
more likely that some workers had put it together as a joke amongst the men.

Once Kate recovered from her initial laughter she couldn't help searching the
area hoping to find another sign. Sure enough she came upon one only a short
distance away. This one had a massive foot depicted as coming down upon a
person with the same no slash through it. Right next to it was an image
depicting several people walking. Though it was some what different from what
one would find at a street crossing. The sign was more similar to what one
would find in a park if ducks tended to cross a certain path often.

It took a few moments for Kate to recover enough to walk around. As she did
though she couldn't help herself. She had to find out who had made those
signs. Still giggling a bit Kate proceeded to look both ways as if she was
crossing the street and then walked further into the camp in hopes of finding
whomever had made the signs.

The men had heard and even seen Kate approaching but none of them had run from
her sight. Looking down at them, Kate didn't know their names but she did know
their faces. They were part of the construction crew that worked the night
shift with her. Currently they were gathered outside eating what looked to be
their breakfast. " Hi there. Well I am glad to see that everyone doesn't run
from me."

Kate took a few steps so that the men were just outside of her arm's reach.
The men looked up as Kate bent at the knees and lowered her massive form to a
crouched position. The men seemed a little nervous but they knew that Kate
wasn't a total monster from the construction work. As one of them got up his
nerve, he stepped forward to see what she wanted. " Hey Tk what brings you
here?"

Kate blinked her eyes for a moment. " Tk? Now where did that come from?" Kate
kept her tone friendly in order to avoid frightening the man.

Realizing that he had called Kate by the nickname the construction crew had
given her the worker quickly cleared his throat. " Sorry about that. Tk stands
for Tower Kate."

" Ah I hoped it stood for total knockout."

The workers looked at each other for a moment as if surprised by Kate's
response. " Well I suppose it is one of those things that serve serval
purposes." One of them finally responded.

" Anyway. I was wondering if any of you knew about the signs out front?"

" Which signs?"

" The no eating the workers, not stepping on the workers and people crossing
ones."

" Yeah. What would you like to know about them?"

" I was just wondering who made them. You probably heard me laughing just a
few minutes ago."

The men seemed a bit relieved for a moment. " So you found them funny?"

" I found them to be very funny. I wouldn't have been laughing if they
offended me."

" Virgil made them. He said he worked with you during the day shift and
thought they would give the men a good laugh."

" Ah. I am going to have to go and thank him. They really are cute."

" Yeah most of the men got a good laugh out of them to." None of them felt
like telling Kate that while most of the workers had gotten a good laugh out
of the signs. A few of them hadn't found them to be funny in the least. Those
who had worried about upsetting Kate had actually tried to take them down but
a few others would always put them back up.

" All well I am going to go thank Virgil for the laugh then and don't worry I
will do my best to obey the signs."

" We would appreciate that."

Kate waved to the little workers as she made her way back towards her home.
She had been working with Virgil while Brian and Michael worked in the lab so
she had a good idea just where he would be at the time. As Kate walked towards
her home, a mischievous grin formed on her face.

" I bet you think you are pretty cute?" Virgil had heard the sound of the foot
steps and noticed the slight tremors they generated. Which was strange as Kate
normally walked softly so she wouldn't shake those who were working in the
higher up areas. As he heard her voice though and felt her breath wash over
him he knew that she was speaking to him. Virgil could feel his blood run
cold, he had been working with Kate long enough to consider her something of a
friend or at least a friend at the work place. Now it seemed like he had upset
her and he was reminded just who he was dealing with.

" No I um. What did I do?"

" Those signs outside. Do you think I like being reminded of what happened?"

" I am sorr.." Kate let out a giggle and flashed Virgil a smile.

" I am just playing I thought they were very funny. Anyway, I am not so petty
that I would harm someone over a few signs. Do you really think so little of
me?" Kate put on a bit of a pout which brought a grin to Virgil's face now.

" You had me scared there for a moment. I am glad you quit so soon or I might
have shit myself."

Kate gave a slight laugh and stuck out her tongue a bit. Upon bringing her
tongue back in. " I was actually wondering if when you left. If I could keep
the signs. I think they would be amusing to set up."

" Sure feel free to. Just don't leave them out in the weather for to long."

" How come?"

" Well they may look like road signs but they aren't really road signs. The
metal is going to rust pretty quick in this environment. As soon as that paint
begins to chip away they are goners."

Kate gave a nod. " Okay. Then once you are all ready to pack up and leave just
leave them and I will retrieve them." A few of the men glanced in Kate's
direction when she reached up and took hold of one of the beams. Currently a
crane had been lifting it to Virgil's position. Removing the beam Kate simply
held it in place. Virgil took the cue and began to fasten it down while Kate
held it in place. " Still, even after working with me am I all that scary?"

Virgil thought about this for a second. " Well you do have quite the presence
but at least I didn't decide to jump to my death. You just had me worried
there for a moment."

" Mm I guess it takes a little longer then I would like to earn peoples total
trust."

******************************************************************************

Kate sat in one of the few chairs that had currently been built for the living
room. Her computer resting in her lap. Brian and Michael were in the lab. They
were currently testing ways to get more out of Brian's blood in order to make
her skin samples grow more. Kate could hear them talking about how mixing it
with various nutrient paste might work but chose to focus on her computer
screen. It had been quite some time since she had visited the online
community. She wanted to see what people were saying about her now, not just
online but on the news as well.

" Well this is annoying." As Kate searched through various sites, she wasn't
overly surprised to find some variations on her name. As well as a few plans
for a movie featuring what happened at the facility. Apparently the real time
video wasn't quite enough. She also found various people discussing the legal
effects of what had happened. Of course Kate had expected all of this. After
all the only reason she hadn't been executed was that no government or person
on the planet had the ability to kill her.

Soon Kate found herself sifting through the secure email address that had been
assigned to her at the facility. She had managed to convince them to let her
keep the email address quite easily of course she knew they would be spying on
her through it. Kate doubted she had any secure lines of communication with
the outside world but it didn't bother her. After all, what could they do
about anything she wanted to do?

As Kate began to search through it, she found herself sifting through more
emails then expected. The lord shall punish you for what you have done, you
aren't too big for hell, you reap what you sow were just a few of the subjects
on each email and often included a rather lengthy description. A giggle came
from Kate as she took note of one reading, I only fear the lord. Wiggling her
toes for a moment, she couldn't help but type a response. " Of course you only
fear the lord, I have no idea where you live and you are many miles away. How
about you come and stand next to me then speak so boldly."

Kate didn't actually find any of the emails insulting after all it was just a
lot of little people trying to act big. Instead she found herself actually
giggling at the comments and the promise of divine punishment. There were even
a few threats, that justice would catch up with her. Kate took this all in
strides and found herself replying to each email. As she did so she attempted
to keep a humorous in each one of her responses.

" How do people taste?" Kate blinked her eyes for a moment as she came across
the title. Opening it up she was a bit surprised to actually find someone
complementing her even envying her. Leaning forward Kate read over the email
some four times in search of any hint of sarcasm. The change of questions
caught Kate off guard and made her really consider just how she should respond
to it.

" I can't really define how people taste as I can't think of anything that
taste like them. It is fairly sweet but that may just be my opinion. My taste
buds aren't really like your little ones. It was a fairly thrilling experience
to have them slide down my throat and into my stomach. Kicking and struggling
the entire time though I wouldn't do such a thing to one that hadn't provoked
me." Kate continued to right her response finding it difficult to answer the
questions without making herself into a monster. Her final words ending. " Of
course I know of things to do that are a lot more fun then eating or stepping
on people."

An amused giggle came from Kate as she realized being an infamous celebrity
might not be so bad. While she didn't know how long the emails would keep
coming at least if they did keep coming she would have something to do while
Brian worked in the lab and while he slept as well. With construction nearing
completion Kate would be running out of things to do before too long.

The emails that Kate found herself responding to, ranged far more then she
expected they would. From praise, to curiosity, to envy, to spite to anger, to
sympathy. A few of them Kate even found disturbing and made her grateful that
she was the giantess and not some of the other people. Kate generally tried to
respond to the praise politely but tried to keep from acting like a monster.
This was hard as she also insisted on being honest and she had enjoyed what
she had done. Fortunately these were few and far between. Curiosity and envy
also gave her similar problems.

Spite and anger were the ones that Kate found most often. To which she tried
to make sure her replies were humorous and showed no sign of offence. After
all she didn't want to give the writer the idea that their weak words had
managed to make it through her thick skin when tank rounds had felled to.

Sympathy was perhaps the rarest one and hardest to deal with. Those that
weren't approving of what she had done and some even scolded her but also
expressed sympathy for what had happened to her. Kate couldn't respond with
the humor she treated the angry or spiteful people with and the emails were
far more serious then those that offered praise, envy or from a curious
writer. She chose to be serious and tried to respond as honestly as she could.
That she didn't feel any need for sympathy and was doing quite well.

Of course not all the emails were purely about her. A few of them had clearly
been written by conspiracy nuts and Kate felt herself being asked about
everything from aliens to hidden cities under the ocean. It was all quite
amusing until Kate ran across the rarest email up until that moment.

Kate tapped her chin unsure of just how she should respond to it. The email
was from Walter the same reporter that had interviewed her previously and he
was asking for another. Apparently he wanted to interview her in her home to
see how she was doing. Of course Kate was quite pleased to see that he was
asking her. She would have been fairly upset if people had just shown up with
permission from the US government. Standing up Kate made her way over to the
lab to see what Brian and Michael thought of being interviewed again.

" It is fine with me. After all we don't have to answer any questions that go
too far" Brian looked up towards Kate as he worked on mixing a red gel
together.

Michael gave a shrug. " I would prefer to keep away from the camera but you
can feel free to speak with him. Just please don't involve me."

Kate gave a nod. " So how is the research coming?"

Brian stopped what he was doing and put a cap on the mixture. " Quite nicely,
you may want to get in touch with Len and start discussing the samples with
her. Of course if she isn't interested, you could use the meeting with Walter
as a chance to advertise."

" So you found a better way to make the cells continue to reproduce?"

Brian gave a shake of his head. " We think so but aren't sure. If we get the
desired results from out next few tests, we can start seriously discussing
clothes' designs. Also the samples you originally gave us are now old enough
to sell without putting you in any danger. At least anything that can be found
from them should be out of date."

Kate gave a nod. " When should the testing be done?"

" I think we can finish today if you don't mind me working a little late. Your
cells are quite responsive and we already have a lot of testing under way."

" Mm then let me know when you are finished and we can start talking clothes.
I am going to go and take care of a few more emails. Then look into getting in
touch with Len or whomever I need to speak with."

*****************************************************************************

Brian was having trouble keeping his eyes open. All the work he did in the lab
had left him mentally tired and the warm embrace of Kate's cleavage wasn't
helping matters. " Do you remember what I said earlier? About letting you
design my clothing."

It took Brian a moment to respond. " Yeah. Is there something you would like
us to try and make?"

Kate shook her head as well as her chest slightly. " No but I have an idea to
make it more interesting."

Brian set up in order to help the blood flow to his head a bit. " What is
that?"

" I was just thinking that we could make a game of it."

" Go on."

" Well how about we set up a nice reward and punishment system? If I like what
you designed for me you get to be in charge however if it doesn't meet certain
standards then I get to decide what to do with you."

Brian rubbed his chin for a moment and tried to force himself to think. He
didn't want to risk Kate pulling a fast one on him. " So you just have to like
what I design for you?"

Kate giggled a bit. " Well no. That would be too easy for you. In order to be
in charge I have to do a bit more then like it. Also the more I like your work
the longer you get to be in charge."

Brian snuggled up to Kate's breast a bit. " Well I may be a little to tired to
think clearly but that seems good."

Kate gave a nod. " I am glad to hear it. Hey, do you plan on producing more
then one set of clothing at a time?"

Brian gave a nod. " We hope to. This one article of clothing every seven
weeks, won't work well for long."

Kate gave a nod. " Okay. Well then how about this. For every ten bits of
clothing you design I will rate how much I like them from one to ten. If the
score doesn't total up to at least seventy, you lose."

Brian rubbed his head for a moment then gave a slight laugh. " Dang I must be
tired it took me a few seconds to figure out what that was per item. Now
depending on how badly I lose you will go easier on me right?"

Kate gave a giggle. " Of course. Also the more points you have over seventy
the longer you get to be in charge and the more authority you have."

" That sounds fine with me. Okay you have a deal."

Kate nodded and was about to let Brian drift off to sleep when he spoke up. "
When will Len and Walter be here?"

" Walter emailed me back, it is going to take a few days to prepare but he
looks forward to it. I had Sheila get in touch with Len and well. From the way
Sheila talked it seem Len would have been out here today if she could have. So
I think she is eager to make a deal."

" Then I should get some sleep."

" Yes you should."

Brian gave a slight chuckle and laid back down, closed his eyes and let the
warmth and soft raising motion of Kate's breast rock him to sleep.

Len looked down into her brief case at the documents that rested there. The
documents were various legal contracts that detailed what she could offer Kate
and what may be negotiable. While none of them gave her the authority to
confirm whatever offer Kate was making her at least they let her negociate. "
Mam we will be landing soon." Len looked towards the pilot for a moment shut
her brief case and strapped herself into her seat.

" Either we have a thrill seeker or Len has just arrived." Kate looked towards
the direction of the landing strip. Her hyper active senses having detected
the sound of a plain coming particularly close to her home. Kate and Brian
were currently in the living room, Kate was busy on her keyboard while Brian
was eating his breakfast as he set atop Kate's shoulder.

" Do you want to go and meet her?"

" No. Just let her come to us. You go ahead and finish your biscuit."

Len was quiet as she sat in the vehicle. A loan soldier serving as her escort
and driver to Kate's home. She had considered taking some others but felt it
would be silly considering how easily Kate could have wiped out every person
on the island. She hadn't even bothered to speak with Sheila. While Len didn't
like Kate and knew that Kate held a similar amount of contempt for herself.
She at least felt Kate was a reasonable lady so she didn't feel any fear. Even
as she came to the building and climbed out of the vehicle.

Kate waited until she heard the little people door bell. Brian was unable to
hear the door bell thanks to its lack of volume and the distance. They had
chosen to keep the sound of the ringing low just incase Brian was near it when
it went off. There was also the little matter that it wasn't like Brian would
be answering the door. Even though there was a regular human sized one
installed. The walk would have simply taken too long.

Len was a bit surprised when the door was opened, not because it was the
massive door that Kate used. Rather, because the tiny door meant for regular
people opened. She had been mentally preparing herself for the meeting so the
slight variation to what she had expected surprised her. " Stay here." Len
glanced towards the driver and walked into the building.

Kate smiled and lowered herself to knee though this still meant she totally
dwarfed Len. She then extended a hand down for Len to climb into. " Glad you
could come."

Len looked at the hand for a moment as if unsure of what she was supposed to
do. " Well you did offer to sell something quite rare." Len didn't climb into
Kate's hand just yet.

" I recommend climbing into my hand. It is an awfully long walk even over to
the table. Don't worry just pull yourself up."

Len looked at the fingers for a moment more then walked over to Kate's pinky
finger. Stepping onto the fingernail, she made her way over to the tip of the
digit. Kate proceeded to elevate her finger a bit realizing that Len couldn't
actually climb up the finger of her finger. The slant allowed Len to make it
the rest of the way up Kate's finger at which time Kate straitened it again so
that Len was setting on top of it instead of hanging on.

Kate stood back up and made her way over to what would have amounted to a
coffee table on her scale and proceeded to lower her hand so that Len could
climb off. As Len lowered herself down from Kate's finger, she chose to get to
business. " I was told that you have some research data that we may be
interested in."

Kate withdrew her hand once Len was off. " Actually, we aren't just offering
you research data. I would like to talk to you about selling actual skin
samples."

Len seemed to perk up even more. " OH. I didn't think you would ever want to
give those away again. How much are we talking about and what state is it in?"

Kate grinned. " Around fifty pounds at least but there can be more, the sample
is still alive. It hasn't even reached the early stages of decay." Kate saw no
reason to inform Len that they had found a way to encourage the sample to
continue living and growing. So that while the sample was still alive, it was
no where near as advanced as Kate had become since it had been taken from her.

Len could hardly believe her ears. " You mean that you want to sell live
samples and in large amounts?"

" That is correct."

" Why this sudden change of heart?"

" Well for one thing to make it easier to justify supplying the island to
improve my financial standings if not political."

Len rubbed her chin for a moment. " This sounds a little too good to be true.
Then again it shouldn't be difficult to confirm if it came from you or not."

Kate gave a slight laugh. " True. It is very easy to tell my cells apart from
a human's. Anyway, haven't I kept my word on all of our dealings?"

Len gave a nod though she thought at mentioning the threat Kate made. She had
threatened to walk out of the camp and trample anyone in her way. However, Len
was glad Kate hadn't carried through with that threat. " Yes. You have been
honest in your dealings. Are they any restrictions you wish to impose of what
we do with the sample?"

Kate rolled her eyes. " Even if there were. I doubt you would listen. After
all how am I suppose to know what you are actually doing with the samples once
they are out of my hands."

Len started to tell Kate that they would hold to their agreements but decided
it was best not to make such an obvious lay. Kate was big and lacking in
knowledge of the world but she wasn't stupid especially not stupid enough to
fall for that one. There was also no point to lay. " I have to say Kate that
all sounds very nice but what do you want in return?"

" I would actually like to keep that on a sample by sample basis. For now I
would just like to receive royalties as if I had a patent for any material you
discover while studying my skin sample and are able to make use of. Once you
decide on average how much each sample is worth, we can discuss things from
there. Of course I may just want a lump sum from time to time."

Len tapped her brief case. " You don't seem concerned that we won't be
entirely honest with you."

Kate giggled a bit. " Of course I don't. After all I know you are smart people
and realize what would happen if I found out you had tricked me." Kate let her
tongue extend out from between her lips and run along their surface for a
moment. Yet Len didn't show any fear.

" Point taken." While Len wasn't frightened by Kate's little display. She did
know it was best to be honest with her. " How often would you be willing to
provide samples?"

" Well it depends on what type of sample you are talking about. An up to date
sample is going to cost more then an older one."

" I take it by your choice of words you mean you found a way to preserve
samples of your flesh."

Kate gave a nod. " Yes we have though the how isn't for sale. If you want an
old sample, you will have to come back here."

Len glanced around the coffee table and caught sight of a smaller one near the
center. " May I set down?"

" Sure."

" Thank you." Len tapped her briefcase with her free hand as she walked over
to the table. Setting the case atop it and pulling up a seat, she considered
her next question. " Would there be a way to insure you didn't sell any
samples to any other nations?"

Kate gave a nod. " Yeah. So long as you keep buying them, I won't sell them to
anyone else."

" How often would we need to make a purchase?"

Kate pulled up a seat to the table as well. " Give me a moment." Kate glanced
at Brian. " About how often would you like to sell the samples?"

" I think that every 2 or 3 months would be idea. Of course 2 months is the
freshest samples, that we are willing to give up. "

Kate gave a nod and turned back to Len. " We would like to make a sell every
three months."

Len gave a nod. " Quite a bit less often then what you were doing previously."

Kate nodded her head. " Yeah, it still hurts after all."

Len closed her eyes for a moment and considered Kate's proposal. " Now you
don't want any payment for the materials itself. At least not for the first
set. Just if we develop something from the materials. Is that correct?"

Kate gave her head a quick nod. " Yes that will be fine."

" I take it that you realize it may take time to develop anything. That is
assuming we can make use of the sample in the first place."

" Yes."

" I take it if we don't take you up on your offer you are going to try other
nations."

Kate grinned. " Well that or a large enough company would do. After all right
now I am only looking into being paid for what is developed."

" Would you be willing to give me some time? I have to talk this over with my
boss."

Kate nodded her head. " I figured you would. How long do you need and how do I
get in touch with you?"

" It should only take a day this seems to be a very easy sell. Don't worry
about getting in touch with me I will get in touch with you." Len tapped the
brief case a few moments. In truth she would have liked to make the deal
concrete that very moment. She couldn't agree on anything concrete at the
moment though as she hadn't been given that authority. " What if we would
prefer to pay you a lump sum instead of royalties."

" I would tell you no deal. I realize that you may not be able to develop
anything but I feel confident it will pay off more if I stick with the
royalties and besides. This way you aren't out anything more then shipping and
handling."

" Is there a place I could have some privacy? I don't feel like making a
second trip so I think I will just seek approval over the phone."

Kate gave a nod. " You would need to head back to the little base. My hearing
can reach anywhere in this building."

Len gave a nod. " I recall your hearing is just as many times sharper then
normal as your body is larger."

" Sharper actually but yeah. You have the idea."

Len leaned forward on the table for a moment. At last she set up strait and
opened up her brief case. " I don't imagine it matters much. Just give me a
few moments to talk this over. I don't imagine you will mind not having a
contract."

" Na. If you go back on your word, I will just remind the entire nation why
that is a bad idea."

Len gave a slight laugh. " Well hopefully you would sell to another nation
first."

" That would work to. Are you going to call your boss? I thought you wanted
some privacy."

" It is all right if you hear. Since you had to speak with your little friend
on your shoulder, I don't imagine he can hear me."

" No, he can't." Len gave a nod and proceeded to open up her brief case and
take out a rather heavy looking phone. The little extra weight was worth it
though in order to help insure the communication was secure.

" I can't do what?" Brian looked up towards Kate's eyes.

Kate turned her attention to Brian while Len was on the phone. " You can't
hear what they are saying."

Brian considered asking Kate just what they were talking about but resolved to
wait until Len had left. " So how long do you think the phone call is going to
take."

" I have no idea." Kate glanced down at Len. " I am going to step out just
give a shout when you are finished speaking." Kate didn't bother waiting for
an answer, it wasn't like Len could make it very far if she climbed down from
the table after all. That and Kate would hear if she did that. Kate stood up
and made her way out of the room so that she could speak with Brian.

Brian had no idea why he hated until they were out of the room to speak to
Kate. It just felt so odd speaking with someone around despite the rooms
scale. " I think I am forgetting how to deal with strangers."

" Ah well don't worry about it. So you think three months is okay?"

" Yeah but you might have given the wrong idea by saying that you want to make
a sell every three months. It sounded like you wanted to make them more
often."

Kate tapped her cheek for a moment. " Well if they do try to buy more then
every two months, we can just say that the samples aren't ready yet. Also if
things go to long without any pay off then I will just start charging them a
lump sum." Brian nodded his agreement.

Len closed the line and let out a long sigh. She had been given permission to
handle the business agreement though she had been limited on how much she
could agree to pay Kate. Straitening up and shouting. " Okay Kate, I am ready
to talk."

" Well little one. Lets go see how this works out. Len is calling." Brian
didn't say a thing as Kate made her way back into the front room were Len was
still waiting atop the coffee table. " So what is it going to be?"

Len didn't say anything at first but proceeded to set out a recording device.
After turning the little machine on she began to speak. As Kate listened to
the terms of the agreement, she gave her head a nod every few moments. What
the agreement amounted to was that they would purchase the samples for
negotiable rates per sample. Kate would have no say so in what was developed
but would receive a certain amount of the income generated by the cell of any
such materials. While Kate would not sell to any other nations. Though in all
truth Kate knew this could at best be used for public justification. In truth
it was Kate's strength that would keep them to their word. " So do you agree?"

" Yes I agree. Though was the speech necessary?"

Len just gave a shrug. " Well then. Do you already have a sample for sell?"

Kate nodded her head. " Yes we have a sample for you to take back with you. I
will get it ready and you can be on your way."

Len had a very wide grin on her face as she left the island. While she didn't
get a blood sample the fact that they would even be able to study Kate's skin
samples was of major benefit. Considering the materials that had been
developed from previous studies. Though she had to admit she was expecting
such a large sample.

The moment the plain had left a huge grin appeared on Kate's face. " Well she
seemed quite happy."

" Really? I couldn't see her face well enough from up here."

" Of course I am sure she wouldn't be as happy if she knew that sample was an
entire seven weeks behind the curve. That and there is actually a sample, as
large as the skirt you made me."

" Grew. The skirt we grew you."

" Oh don't be picky." Kate gave Brian a light nudge with her pinky finger. " I
don't imagine I am going to be seeing any benefit from that first sample we
let her leave with."

Brian shook his head. " Probably not at least not until they have something
that is so obvious that it was developed from you they can't deny it."

Kate gave a slight giggle. " I would be upset if we actually needed the money.
All well let them feel good about their accomplishment." Kate grew silent for
a moment. " Of course they have had a lot more experience manipulating me and
other people then I have had manipulating them. I wonder if they still may be
tricking us."

" Now if you think like that you're just going to be paranoid."

" True."

******************************************************************************

It had been three days since Len had left. Construction on the building was
nearing completion. It was already so far along that Kate couldn't really help
with it any longer which left her little to do. She had taken to answering all
the emails she received for amusement but that could only last her so long.
Especially since she not only did it while Brian and Michael spent their 8
hours in the lab. She also did it while Brian slept on her. The time Brian
slept wasn't so bad Kate could very well just have set around and felt his
little body resting on her and been content. However, the time he was in the
lab nearly drove her up the wall with boredom.

Kate couldn't even watch them working now that they were working on her
clothes' designs as well. As with the new system she wasn't actually allowed
to see what they were doing until it had been finished. At least today she
would have something to take her mind off Brian and Michael's work. Walter was
due for his arrival. As Kate noted the sound of a little airplane, she made
her way to the landing strip.

Brian looked through the clothing catalog holding a red marker in his hand.
Every time he would see a clothing design he happened to like he would put a
red mark beside it. Later on he planned on drawing the design into the
computer and seeing if they could make it with the supports they currently
had. He closed the book when he heard the front door open and made his way
over to the window Kate would use to look in on them. As he looked out, he
noted that she was carrying a few people in her hand.

Upon noticing this Michael gathered up the equipment he had been working with.
" I am going to head to my room incase Kate decides to show them the lab."

Brian turned a bit. " Are you sure you don't want to be in the camera a bit?"

" Not at the moment."

Brian turned from Michael as he felt the ground shake a bit and realized Kate
was walking over to them. He knew that she had intentionally caused the ground
to shake to get their attention since as long as she walked normally and
delayed her steps the floor design would negate the shockwaves generated by
her steps. Brian didn't bother making his way to the exit as he knew what was
coming next. Kate, bent down and removed the wall. " So are you ready to join
me for the interview?"

" Sure though I have a feeling I won't be answering many questions." Brian was
on Kate's shoulder being carried toward the table where she had left Walter
and his camera man.

" How long do you need to get ready?"

Walter glanced up at Kate. " Just give us a few moments more. There we go."
Walter straitened up as did the camera man.

Kate leaned back as Walter took a moment to speak to the camera before turning
to her. " Now Kate. I have to say I was quite surprised to see this building
when I first arrived. I take this is to serve as your home?"

" Yes."

" Quite the accomplishment. I imagine you had a hand in building it."

" Yeah. I couldn't stand the idea of how long it would take other wise so I
helped out."

" Perhaps you could tell us where the finances came from in order to build
this and pay for the materials."

" Of course. The funding came from. Well I would call it back pay but
basically the funding came from the US government as payment for the materials
they have extracted from me."

" And just how does this work?"

" Well I basically get paid royalties as if I held the patten. Of course some
of it was also meant to be compensation for the alterations to my body and
endangerment. That and to get rid of me."

Walter looked around for a moment and imagined that it was mostly to get rid
of Kate. Later on before the report was actually aired, he would have to get
an estimate on just how much it would have cost to fight Kate and how much it
cost to build the structure. " So other then building have you been up to
anything else?"

" Well we renewed research of my condition though it isn't nearly as active as
it was previously. Three days ago we also negotiated a deal to sell the
materials."

" Materials?"

" Samples taken from me that we don't plan on using."

Walter nodded his head. " Don't you worry that those materials may reveal a
way to harm you?"

Kate shook her head. " No. I doubt that they will be able to find a way to
harm me just by studying my skin samples. Though I hope that they are able to
find some useful materials through their efforts."

" I take it you stand to profit if they do."

" Yeah."

Walter nodded his head. " Do you plan on returning to the states?"

Kate shook her head. " No. I can't say that I do. I had my fill during the
brief time I was there. I feel that everyone will be happier if I just keep my
distance."

" I would have thought you had your fill of people at the facility where you
were first housed."

Kate blinked her eyes for a moment as a stunned look crossed her face. It soon
faded though and instead she wore an amused grin. " Now if I went by that
experience I wouldn't have left."

" I was wondering could we get a tour of your home?"

" Sure. Would you like me to carry you or would you rather walk on the ground
and get a better POV?"

Walter looked around for a few moments. " I think that walking around would
work better even if it takes longer. Do you mind?"

" Not at all. The stairs are over there." Kate indicated the far side of the
table. " Would you like me wait in here while you look around?"

" Actually it would be nice if you could go about your normal daily routine.
Though a guide would be appreciated."

Kate looked around for a moment. " Umm sorry we don't really have one of
those."

Walter looked up towards Kate's shoulder. " Would that young man be willing to
show us around?" Walter felt a chill run through the air as Kate's eyes seemed
to narrow.

" He may be but he isn't going to."

Walter gave a nod and made a mental note that he was dealing with one very
protective wife. " Worried that we might try something?"

Kate let out a sigh. " Not really. If I did, you wouldn't be here but after
all I have been through."

Walter just nodded his head. " It is fine. How long do we have to explore your
home?"

Kate seemed to lighten up again. " Until your feet start hurting you too
badly, I suppose."

Kate was surprised when she heard a groan from the camera man as if her words
had somehow doomed him. Walter just smiled. " Well then. Please excuse us for
a little while." Walter stopped for a moment. " Would it be possible to
interview your husband while you are around?"

" Yes that would be fine."

Brian glanced at Kate for a moment. He couldn't hear what Walter had been
saying but he had a pretty good idea what Kate had been referring to. " Are
they going to be looking around?"

" Yeah. I am just going to let them wonder around on their own for a while.
Let them get a feel for what it is like to be in a giantess world. How does it
make you feel? After all you looked around before."

Brian gave a nod of his head. " I can't say that it made me feel small.
Everything just seemed big. There was no feeling of having shrunk everything
just seemed to back up the idea of how large you truly are."

Kate chuckled a bit. " Mm I like that. It is more fun being thought of as big.
Then others being thought of as small."

" So what do you want to do while they look around?"

" How about we go and eat lunch while they are wondering around? You have been
in the lab for a while now after all."

Brian rubbed his stomach. " Yeah come to think of it that is a good idea."

Kate gave a slight giggle and proceeded to stand up. As she walked out of the
room she made certain to insure her foot landed close to Walter and his camera
man wanting to give them a nice close up. Kate didn't actually feel any need
to eat at the moment but she imagined Brian was.

Walter gave a slight jump as Kate's food landed near him though it wasn't from
fear. He had gotten over jumping from that after having mortars land near him.
The gust of air and shaking off the ground generated by Kate's step was what
made him jump or more precisely nearly knocked him off his feet.

Brian knew that Kate was taking her time preparing her meal just incase Walter
made it to the kitchen in time. While in comparison to Kate the amount she ate
was extremely small, it was still something else to see a few thousand pounds
vanish into that mouth. " So how are the clothes coming?"

Brian looked up from the stove. " They are coming nicely. I am having to look
through a few magazines for inspiration though."

" Running low on ideas?"

" Well every time I think of you I just want to put you into something
skimpier and skimpier."

" Have you found a way to get around the leather look?"

Brian shook his head. " No. Though we do have an idea. How about for the next
sample you give. You let us have some of your air?"

Kate reached a hand back and ran her fingers through her hair for a moment. A
shudder ran up her spine. " Do you think it will help?"

" Yeah but you don't have to if you don't want to."

" Mm it is hard to decide if it will be worth the pain. Since you can grow it
now, I wouldn't have to give a large piece would I?"

" No. Just a small bit."

" When do you want it?"

" In a few weeks. We don't have room at the moment. What are you fixing
yourself?"

" Just some fish and cabbage stew."

Brian got a somewhat sick look on his face. " I swear some of the things you
eat."

Kate stuck her tongue out at Brian. " Well I happen to like it. Grow up eating
something and you are going to like it though. To me the idea of pilling a
potato before you eat it or any fruit of vegetable for that matter seems
strange."

Brian looked down at the frying pan for a moment and noted the potatoes he had
pilled. " Well to me the skin of a potato is a lot thicker then what it is to
you."

" Yeah and so are the bones of the fish. You have to worry about getting
chocked while these big old teeth of mine and crunch through them in a moment.
Well actually I don't even have to chew."

Brian kept silent for a moment. " I still think what you eat is gross."

" Oh shush and get back to cooking before I decide to snack on you little
one."

Brian just grinned and chose to focus on the task at hand. While he didn't
worry about Kate chewing on him or swallowing he knew that she was perfectly
willing to pop him into her mouth.

" Now here is an interesting find." Walter made his way into one of the
additional bedrooms that Kate had constructed. The massive room wasn't
entirely finished yet but as the constructions crews were on the far side that
meant they had plenty of room to roam. " An additional bed room and from the
looks of things I would say one intended for a child or a teenager. Now since
I doubt this couple will be having any guest to make use of this room this
leads me to assume only one thing."

Walter took his time before speaking again allowing the camera to look around
the room and then they began to walk over to the unfinished bed. " It would
seem the couple despite the size difference may be hopeful for a child. As it
is the only reason, I can see for them building an additional room to this
scale. Now the likelihood of this aside I have to wonder what this would mean
to the world. Considering the chaos that one lady caused one can only guess
what a younger version would have done. Perhaps we should speak to our hostess
about this?"

Kate could hear Walter speaking and instinctively put a hand over her womb. At
least she assumed she still had a womb. She removed it when she resolved that
she wasn't ready for a child just yet. " Brian. When do you think it would be
a good time to have a child?"

Brian didn't have to think long. " I suppose, after our home is finished and
we have had a chance to form good business relations as far as the selling of
materials goes. Just incase things don't go quite the way as we expect."

Kate gave a nod of her head. " How long do you hope that will take?"

" Not long." Brian smiled up at Kate.

" I am glad to hear that."

Kate removed her stew from the burner and proceeded to carry a seat over to
the counter so that she could talk to Brian. Kate didn't pay any attention to
the burning hot metal which she currently let rest in her hand. Making use of
an over sized spoon, she tried her cooking. " I should have put some salt into
this."

" So how are they going as far as the room search is concerned?"

Kate shook her head. " I can still hear them they have hardly even begun. I
guess they just wanted to start at the back of our home."

" Well it is an awful lot of walking. I mean the hall alone is a few miles."

Kate grinned. " That isn't to many foot steps for me but I see your point."

Brian looked down at the pan once again. " After I am done with dinner would
you mind if I took a nap while waiting?"

" Can I pick where you nap?"

" Sure."

" Mm then you most certainly may. Though I was thinking, we might look at some
clothes' designs."

" Now hold on. I get to pick the designs for the time being. Especially since
you made a contest out of it."

" I know." Kate let out a sigh. " I wonder if I should withdraw the
challenge."

" Oh no. You issued it and your sticking to it. I intend too win this."

Kate couldn't keep from giggling. " All right then, just keep in mind if your
designs aren't up to par. I gave you a chance to back out."

" Don't worry, I am sure you will love these first designs. I have to say
though getting up to the required ten is taking more thinking then I
expected."

" Nope. I offered to help. You are going to have to try and figure out what I
like on your own now." Kate grew silent for a moment. " I think I should have
waited until later to actually cook something for myself. I wanted to show off
what my big old teeth can do."

" You like spooking people don't you?"

" Just a little."

******************************************************************************

Brian felt himself being nudged slightly. " Time to wake up little one they
are only about a mile away."

Opening his eyes, Brian looked around his surroundings. Currently he was
tucked away in Kate's belly button while she set in the living room. The spot
had given him a good vantage point of Kate's laptop which she had set in her
lap. It hadn't actually been where he had expected Kate to have him sleep
considering her past record but he wasn't complaining. Stretching for a few
moments, he began to crawl towards Kate's pinky finger which was currently
waiting for him.

Kate had to keep herself from giggling as she felt Brian's tiny form moving
out of her belly button. She had considered letting him rest there longer but
wanted to give him time to fully wake up. As Brian crawled across her skin
towards her pinky finger though Kate had to resist the urge to remove her
finger and just enjoy the feeling of Brian's tiny hands pressed against her
skin. At least the temptation left her when she felt Brian move onto her pinky
and she began to lift him into the air. " Did you sleep well my little one?"

" Yeah. How long was I asleep though?"

" Let me put it this way. It is a good thing you and Michael set your own
working hours. Other wise your sleeping habits would be quite messed up at the
moment and well I don't sleep. Too bad I can't help you in the lab."

Brian gave his head a quick shake to fully wake up. " Well having a monopoly
on the research material actually makes it pretty easy work. Anyway, it isn't
like we are selling our findings anyway. You said they were a mile away?"

Kate held her hand up level with her shoulder and allowed Brian to move off of
her finger. " Yeah I thought you would need some time to wake up entirely and
might want to take care of a few things."

Brian shook his head. " No I am good to go. Of course if they have been in
every room why don't you just go and pick them up?"

" Mm good idea." Standing up Kate made her way down the hallway easily
crossing the mile distance in just a few of her lengthy steps. As she did so
Walter and his camera man stopped their walking. " Have you finished looking
around?"

Walter gave a nod. " Yeah. We have quite a bit of material actually. We even
managed to speak with a few of the workers."

Kate didn't bother mentioning that she had heard the conversation. " Well then
would you like a lift back to the living room?"

" I would appreciate it."

" Be sure to get a good view." Kate made sure to move her hand slowly as she
reached down for Walter. Allowing the camera man to get a good picture of just
how large her hand truly was before she picked up the cameraman as well. As
she strode back to the living room. " So is there anything you want to talk to
me about?"

" Yes there is. Kate, do you truly believe you are capable of having
children?"

" I believe I am as capable of having children as I am 3,000 feet tall."

Walter nodded his head. " I noticed the rooms. Do you expect the children to
be proportional to your scale?"

" I expect that they will be but I don't know as of this time."

Walter thought about asking some other questions but looked at his watch. "
Kate, I would love to talk more about this however I need to be on my way."

Kate gave a nod. " I suppose exploring my home took more time then you
expected it to."

" A great deal more time."

Kate glanced over at Brian. " I guess you will have to wait a while before you
get to be in the camera."

" I am sure you will get to speak with other reporters once they see that I
have come back alive not once but twice."

" I don't know if I like the idea of that. Anyway I will give you a lift to
the door."

******************************************************************************

Kate ran her fingers along the solider surface of the wall. The completed
structure. It had happened a few hours ago the final bit of the structure had
been secured and wired. Now it just had to be maintained which would actually
fall to Kate to handle unless she wanted to call in more help. Some tools had
been provided which would allow her to repair the structure but other then
that everything was finished. Except for the workers to gather up their
materials and for the rooms to be cleaned out. Kate would be helping with
that.

A tingle ran up Kate's spine as she realized this would be the fewest people
she had ever been around once the workers were gone. It would just be Brian,
Michael, Sheila, herself and a few soldiers that had been stationed on the
island to help out. Other then when ships brought materials in there would be
very few people indeed.

Kate couldn't truly define how she felt at the moment. She had spent so much
of her life being examined and constantly surrounded by strangers that she had
gotten use to it. Now they were all going to be gone and that was most likely
how things were going to remain. She could feel the excitement deep within her
but she had no idea just how she could let it out. Kate leaned forward and
pressed her cheek against the wall for a few moments.

Straitening up Kate turned and made her way over to the clean up area. Bending
down Kate's hands began scooping up great handfuls of materials. She almost
wanted to tell everyone to hurry up and leave that she would deal with the
left over materials but she restrained herself. The ship that would take all
the men and the machinery that were to be removed would be arriving soon
enough and she would be rid of it all.

Kate wasn't the only one happy about the change indeed the workers even those
that had gotten over their fear of her was glad to be leaving. The project had
been quite grueling thanks to the pace which they had to work at. Kate hadn't
help in that, in fact she had served to speed up the work even more by her
helping. Many were looking forward to getting back to the states and their
families that or to make up for having so little recreation time.

Kate glanced off towards the workers little town as she carried the supplies
down to the docks. Most of the building material would be stored there instead
of removed from the island. Kate didn't waste any time in dashing back towards
her home in order to get another handful. The whole time wishing that she had
a dust pan built to her scale.

" There won't be many people around soon. How do you feel about that?" Michael
looked over at Brian.

Brian smiled and stepped away from the window after Kate ran by again. " I am
fine with it. Why do you ask?"

" I was just wondering."

Brian nodded. " How do you feel about it?"

" I am pretty use to the isolation actually. My original place of work was
pretty isolated as you may recall."

" Yeah but they were so many people."

" Just strangers."

Brian thought about this for a second. " I can understand that. I guess you
can feel isolated even in a crowd. Later on Kate and I are going to go and
take a look at the work men's temporary housing after they are all gone."

" That is nice. It may be the closest Kate ever comes to getting to walk
through a town. Of course since it is being emptied out, I suppose she doesn't
have to worry about the buildings."

" Yeah. Though it seems, they set it up with Kate's visits in mind. The
streets were made wide enough for her to walk through them."

" Wide streets for Kate's feet."

Brian just rolled his eyes at Michael's riming.

As Brian and Michael spoke Kate found herself wondering around said housing
area. Taking note of the little buildings, she soon found what she had been
looking for. Bending down Kate proceeded to pick up the three signs she had
seen earlier. Kate had enjoyed working with a few of the workers but she
didn't feel as if she would miss them. They had just had a pleasant working
relationship. She was grateful for the signs though and resolved to show them
to Brian later. Perhaps he would like to put them up in the lab.

Kate took a moment to look around and identify the buildings that she couldn't
trample for later. A giggle escaped Kate. Actually she could trample any of
the buildings she wanted. The thought was more then a little amusing to her
for some reason. They were just some buildings they would like her not to
trample. Kate paused for a moment as she caught sight of yet another sign
depicting a foot though this time there were a road and no people.

Reaching down Kate carefully lifted the sign into the air. " No more then 117
steps per hour." Kate blinked her eyes a few times. She quickly located a
speed limit sign and found it to be for twenty miles per hour. Kate soon
guessed what that number of steps and the speed limit on the sign would
roughly equal the same amount of speed. Closing her eyes, Kate thought to
figure up how many speeds that would be a second then realized she would be
dividing 117 by 3,600. " Sorry but I am not going to walk that slowly."

Kate looked at the sign for a few moments more and noted that the leg supports
weren't actually dirty and indeed the sign seemed quite new. Realizing that it
must have been made recently Kate wished she hadn't hurried the workers alone
so she would have a chance to thank the one that had built it
