Author's Notes: Not much to say about this one in advance except it's the moment of truth. It is here that Cody learns of Heather's BIG secret. How will he react?

Here's the second chapter of "Attack of the 50 Foot Heather": The BIG Reveal


Cody's sneakers were creating loud echoes on the white tile of the building's floor. He was unsure of this whole place. After driving for so long with so much secrecy, he was honestly underwhelmed. The building, aside from being in the middle of nowhere, was not impressive or mysterious in the slightest. If anything, it looked like a small office building. Only a state of the art security system (which he'd been given the needed codes for) indicated to Cody that there was anything of particular importance about this place.

After passing through a few more rooms of security that reminded him or either an airport on high alert or a government building, Cody entered the vast main lobby. Again, there was nothing extraordinary about it; it was a largely bland and white waiting area.

But that was actually a good thing for Cody; he had so much on his mind as it was already. Not shockingly, almost every thought he had was related to his confusion about Heather. Why did she seem so resistant to seeing him? Why was she here to begin with?

Why did she flat out refuse to discuss anything that had happened to her after TDROTI?

What had caused her to actually accept his e-mail request and start talking to him at all?

"Mist-er An-der-son!" A male voice says, sounding like Agent Smith from The Matrix.

This snapped Cody out of his contemplative mood as he noticed two people who had appeared from seemingly out of nowhere. They were two adults, a man and a woman. Both of them were over 6 feet tall and wearing the uniforms and gear of security guards.

While the male had a smile on his face at the joke he just made, the female looked at him with a look of contempt as she said to him, "Quit joking around! I've got a bet to win."

"We'll see about that. But first, we've got to make sure we got the right guy. You are Cody Anderson, yes?" The male guard says, switching from the female guard to Cody.

"Uh,y-yes. I'm Cody Anderson. And I was told to come here beca-" Cody started to say.

"We know why you were told to come here. You are here to see Heather, and we are assigned to take you to her. Please follow us, I've got some money to collect." The female guard says, interrupting Cody before guiding him to a large nearby elevator.

As they entered the elevator, Cody felt a very odd feeling of worry spike through him. This was added to when the female guard said before pushing the button, "Abandon all hope ye who enter here." With that, they descended, but hopefully not into Hell itself.


Rather than roaring fires and the gnarling of teeth, what dominated the ride was silence.

"So, um, what exactly was this bet that you mentioned earlier?" Cody asks, trying to end the silence that was making him a little more on edge.

"Sorry old chap but we aren't at liberty to say. We've got our orders from the big lady herself, and as long as the this place provides me with a steady paycheck, I'll do whatever the big lady says." The male guard says, enjoying his adding more mystery for Cody.

"Indeed. Besides, you not knowing ahead of time will help me win this bet of ours." The female guard added, for the first time since Cody had seen her she had a partial smile.

The silence reigned supreme once again with Cody even more puzzled by this place. In that silence, Cody only now realized how deep this elevator seemed to be going. While just a guess on his part, Cody estimated that they had to be many miles underground.

"How deep does this elevator go?" Cody asks. The *bing* of the elevator chinned then.

"To right here." The male guard says, both matter-of-factly and jokingly all at once.

Sure enough, the elevator's descent had finally stopped and the large doors opened. The two guards walked out first with Cody following behind them.

This lower level was far more impressive than the upper level that Cody had seen. Despite knowing that he was miles underground, Cody saw nothing that would reveal that. He was surrounded by clean and strong looking walls as he walked on a railway. There were electricity and air ventilation systems that appeared to be very dependable. Many large pipes on along the ceiling indicated that running water was also present. Looking over the rails, Cody could see many squares that must have been other rooms that had ceilings of their own blocking Cody's ability to see what was inside of them.

For a distance that Cody could only guess, he and the two guards walked until reaching a massive door. Actually, it was largely than massive, it was over fifty feet tall. And it wasn't made of metal, or at least not a metal known to Cody since it had a vague and partial transparency to it. Cody could see some shadows of some things on the other side.

The female guard approached a nearby keypad and began to type on it. While entering what Cody assumed was an entrance code, he noticed something odd. Even though he could have swore it wasn't there before, a massive silhouette was seen. What it could have been perplexed Cody to no end; it didn't make any sense to him. Based on its general outline, it had the shape of a human being, of a gigantic human. Despite that, his logical side told him that it must be some kind of manmade construct. However, the exact construction and its purpose was something Cody couldn't grasp. He didn't have much time to be convinced of either notion as the door was opened. As he followed the guards, what he was convinced of what that the object was of gigantic yet vaguely human shape.

Cody watched as the guards walked on into the room then began to follow after them. The first thing he noticed was the vast area in front of him. Despite being at least a few miles underground, the room on the other side of the massive door might have reached its lowest point at least another mile or two deeper into the Earth's crustal plate.

From his vantage point on the railway that was near the ceiling of this gigantic room, he could see details both mundane and extraordinary given the previously seen décor. The mundane came from the color scheme of white and the mostly Spartan bare features. But there were many objects that seemed out of place in such a bland and sterile location. As odd as it sounds, Cody could see: a basic bed, a flat-screen TV, a video game controller, and a computer among other things that appeared to be much larger than the normal sizes.

This would have been Cody's primary thought if not for a bigger development. He saw the giant human shaped object whose outline he had seen just moments earlier. But now he saw that it wasn't a massive human shaped object, it was a massive human.

Even more shocking to the Tech Geek, it was a massive human that he recognized. It was a massive Heather looking straight at them! A massive Heather was looking AT HIM!

At the end of the rail he was standing on was a Heather whose face was taller than him!


Heather had been told that Cody's first reaction once the shock set in would be to scream and run away. She hoped that talking to Cody on-line before would have him react better.

She simply did the only thing she could think of doing…raising her hand as she waved it back and forth. "Hi Cody." Went throughout the air from the massive form in front of him. Cody's eyes grew quite wide as he stared in shock, feeling his mouth began to dry up as his rational mind told him what he was seeing was impossible. Despite her worry and concern, Heather wore as friendly a smile as she could while looking down at her on-line friend. As she looked at him Heather noticed that his mouth was moving but it seemed that he was having trouble forming words as he was struggling to process this.

Cody couldn't believe what he was seeing. Matching what Heather had been told, the Teck Geek felt his instinct to run away screaming to an almost primal and total level. However, shocking everyone including himself, Cody managed to push it back down. Even more shocking (and encouraging to Heather) was that Cody had, despite his fear, actually managed to weakly raise his hand in a similar greeting as he said, "H-h-hi."

After waving at Heather for over a solid minute without realizing it due to his fear, Cody rested his hand on the hand-reel in a basic attempt to steady his knees so he wouldn't fall. While doing so, Cody tried to remember to breath in so he could avoid passing out. It would appear that this was rather unsuccessful because he ended up falling on his knees. Heather watched intently with the most reassuring look she could actually muster while the guards were starting to debate if Cody would need something to steady his nerves. However, a few moments later this debate was ended because Cody was able to stand. While having the strength to stand, Cody still couldn't speak and his skin was pale white.

With his fear overpowering the basic memory of how he came to this literal threshold, Cody couldn't conceive of any option but to go ahead and see where this took him. With his feet feeling like eighty pound weights, Cody slowly walked closer to Heather's face. Seeing this made Heather's worried smile become slightly more relaxed and natural. For some odd reason, the image of Cody slowly approaching her reminded Heather of seeing a mouse or bird getting use to a hand offering food. Maybe candy would have helped?

Choosing to focus on the small yet encouraging results so far instead of that afterthought, Heather knew what she had to say next, even though it could potentially ruin everything.

"I guess the first thing that we should do is that I should pick you up in my hand." Heather said, clearly feeling uneasy about the unusual idea.

This feeling was increased by Cody's understandably unsure expression at the odd request. He couldn't grasp the point of doing something like that.

Seeing this, Heather added, "Uh, the doctors here say that it will really help you accept that what you're seeing as real and not just a trick of the eyes or a mental delusion."

Not considering notions like what was real and unreal at this moment, Cody just nodded. He tried to imagine how any of this could be possible. What had happened to Heather?

But that was pushed from Cody's mind though the moment he was covered in the shadow of Heather's hand as it slowly approached him.

While Cody up until this point had managed to keep his fear down to such levels as he could deny having it, seeing objects as big as him, Heather's fingers, come towards him was what made it impossible for him to keep the fear down any longer.

The Tech Geek suddenly screamed and tired to run away but the two guards were blocking his path. The two had been told that this would likely happen and to be ready. As Cody struggled in basic fright to force his way past the two much larger guards, Heather's fingers were withdrawn quickly as if she had burnt them on a hot stove.

She had been told that this was pretty much inevitable, that Cody would panic. But that didn't change the fact that Heather was deeply hurt and frustrated right now.

"Jesus Cody, man-up already! I've been scared and panicking ever since this happened! If you can't handle this then just go! I won't stop you from going out the way you came. What I need right now is a friend, not a panicking little twerp who can't even talk to me!" Heather shouted, her nerves finally buckling under the weight of the weeks of pressure.

Just like during their on-line chats, Heather's shouting got Cody to stop panicking. He no longer screamed and tried to overpower the guards blocking him. Turning around, he looked at Heather. The Queen Bee was staring at the floor with a frown. Cody was able to see that her now gargantuan grey eyes were glistening; she was starting to form tears. Despite his until moment's ago all-consuming fear, Cody felt like the worst person ever.

His mind flashed back to their first on-line chat, when he saw the sadness in her eyes. He remembered how much he hated seeing that in any person and how he wanted to end it. Then it dawned on him, no matter how big she was, Heather was still a person. She still had emotions, needs, and desires. She still laughed, shouted, fumed, and cried. Right now she was about to cry. Because of him a lonely girl trying to reach out was about to cry.

Cody then turned around and saw that the two guards had stopped blocking the path. He could now leave if he wanted to, neither they nor Heather would try to stop him now. The choice was clear…leave out of fear of his personal safety or stay and comfort Heather?

Though his heart was working overtime, Cody began walking towards the giant Heather. As he approached he couldn't help but muse how she was more akin to a monster who destroys cities than the world famous first villain on a teenage reality television show.

Cody also noticed that Heather had the fingers which had reached out for him gently gripping the edge of the rail without even realizing it as she was still looking down.

As Heather stared at the floor and was trying her best to not start shedding tears, she suddenly felt something. It was a small (to her that is) object moving along her finger. Moving her eyes from the floor towards the source, Heather was truly shocked. She saw Cody moving on of his hands back and forth across the closest finger to the rail's edge.

While barely feeling it, this gesture meant the world to Heather. Cody not only stayed when he could have left but he was actually trying to make her feel better. He actually cared! While part of her insulted her for getting so worked up over something like this, a much stronger part of her was inwardly gushing with happiness at this small gesture.

Cody hadn't noticed that Heather had noticed his action at first. He was more taken by what he was feeling. When he had put his hand on her skin, Cody had felt warmth coming from Heather's flesh as the muscles beneath them tensed up at the contact. The Tech Geek was now starting to see the reasoning behind Heather's initial idea of picking him up. Touching her skin successfully eliminated any stubborn feelings of disbelief. Every now and then, Cody would remove his hand from Heather's finger for a moment. Whenever he did, Cody would notice that the warmth of the flesh would slightly fade. It was warmth being generated by a literal living tower of flesh, blood, and humanity.

Eventually, for no real reason, Cody looked up and finally noticed Heather looking at him. While her eyes were still glassy, she was now showing a genuine smile. Just like during their on-line chats, seeing Heather smile made all of the hard stuff before worth it.

As he continued to pet Heather's finger, Cody stared at Heather for over thirty seconds. Finally, Heather decided to break the silence with her saying as low as she could, "I-I'm really sorry Cody. I shouldn't ha-"

"No, no, Heather. You don't have to apologize. I should be the one apologizing here. You were just trying to help me get a handle on this situation. I'm so sorry Heather. I know you're scared but a second ago five objects as big as me were coming from a girl who looks like she just stepped off the set of a old 1950s science fiction film. You're just a lot to take in right now, you've got to let me catch up". Cody says, speaking his honest mind.

"You think I'm a monster?" Heather whispered flatly as though Cody had just punched her in the stomach with the hurt in her voice being unmistakable. Reaching forward the instinct to hug and console her was strong but the edge of the railing reminded him of reality. Cody couldn't hug Heather as he could have when she was her original height.

Instead, Cody tried to console her the only way he knew how…panicked and twitchy!

"Oh God! No, I didn't mean that! Please don't think that I think that you're a monster! You are not a monster Heather; monsters are nowhere near as hot as you! When was the last time Godzilla wore a bikini? And if he did, I doubt he'd full it as nicely as you!"

It wasn't until he had finished that Cody realized that he likely crossed a few lines he shouldn't have. He froze in fright, this time not of Heather but his own big mouth. But to his great shock (and even greater relief) Heather's face had brightened up considerably. It wasn't until then that Cody realized an unintentional benefit to the words he had just said.

Given the earthshattering surprise of Heather being fifty feet tall, Cody had until now missed the slightly smaller earthshattering surprise that Heather was indeed in a bikini. And true to Cody's manic praises, she filled it very, very, VERY, nicely! Even so (in a very rare move for Cody), the hot girl in the bikini wasn't his brain's strongest thought. He'd likely become aroused by this at another time but right now his mind was more concerned with trying to figure out how this was, how Heather became so gigantic.

As for Heather, she found herself showing more approval for this compliment than she would have preferred under normal circumstances. She cursed the weeks of no one, especially boys her own age, saying things like that which made her look so desperate! But once again, a very strong graduate for Cody overpowered those negative feelings.

The two stared at each other a little longer before someone spoke. This time, Cody broke the silence by asking unsurely, "So, uh, is that, um, picking me up idea still a option?"

Heather looked at Cody with total shock. "Y-yo-you still want to be picked up, Cody?"

The Tech Geek moved away from Heather's giant hand and reached the edge of the railing. Heather's face, larger than his entire body, was directly in front of him. The look on her face was unsure, possibly even greater than the feelings of being unsure in him.

"If this is going to work, if I'm going to help you Heather, I have to trust you. I'm more nervous than I have ever been in my entire life, and I'm nervous often but I trust you. You took a leap of faith for me by showing me this. Its only fair that I take one for you." Cody says, trying to speak with as much conviction as he could, and mostly succeeding.

Fighting back tears and a smile, Heather simply nodded her head. For some reason, she didn't want Cody to know how touched she was by his trust in her despite his fear.

Without saying a word, Heather took her hand off of the railing beside Cody. Once again, the massive objects that were Heather's fingers casted their long shadows over Cody. Her fingers curled around him mechanically and that all too familiar state of fear returned to him in full strength although her skin was both warm and soft and she seemed to be trying to be gentle with him. The Tech Geek found himself being lifted off the railway.

Noticing his feet were no longer touching solid ground, Cody felt the fear return in full. As his instincts tried to take control he was able to keep at least something of a handle on himself though his breathing and heart rate still began to quicken as adrenalin flooded his brain. The smile on Heather's face grew as she realized this and was proud of Cody. Wanting to return the favor to him, Heather placed Cody in her other hand's open palm.

Though somewhat awkward to her, Heather started to pet Cody with her pointer finger.

"Cody, I honestly can't say in words how much you wanting to stay with me means to me. I know we are both scared and unsure about all of this but maybe we can help each other out. There'll be obstacles but I shockingly think that we can become good friends." Heather says as she continued the bizarre action of petting Cody with a voice that was possibly the most gentle that had ever passed the former Total Drama Queen Bee's lips.

Cody took this in as he felt Heather's fingers petting him. As he remained there he tried to get himself to relax. At least he was still rational enough to agree with her words though he couldn't say it. Everything about her was simply so impossible and her presence was so intimidating it was almost overwhelming. To avoid this, Cody began taking deep breaths to repress the fear that would make this experience overwhelming.

The feeling of Heather's massive fingers brushing lightly against his body was actually helping to relax him he found. Unknowingly thinking along similar lines to Heather from earlier in their meeting, Cody imagined that a small bird must feel this way when getting use to a new owner handling it. But that notion, though accurate, had some unpleasant features to it. While Cody was by no means a domineering person and destined to the more submissive member in a relationship, he really didn't like to think of himself as pet. But in the current situation happening now, it was the best example he could think of. But Cody wasn't a small bird; he was a human, one with a rational side struggling to get his more primal instincts of fear and distrust under control. This would all take some time.

But time was something that both Cody and Heather now had in abundance. Heather in particular wasn't feeling any strong desire to check the time. This was the most human contact, actual physical contact, which she had experienced in weeks. She was in no rush to end it. She had honestly forgotten how wonderful another person's skin could feel.

Realizing how good it felt, Heather realized something: he wasn't getting away now! He had been given his chance and he chose to stay with her instead. And this felt too good for her to willingly let Cody, in all literalness, slip through her finely pedicured fingers. But she honestly didn't think it would come to that. If worse came to worse, she could easily use that bikini area which Cody had been (quite rightly) gushing over before.

As the two teens stayed as they were for many minutes over this very bizarre but very intimate physical contact, the most contact either had experienced or enjoyed in years.


With them in their own little world, neither Cody nor Heather heard two other voices.

"Ah! What did I tell you! Cody stayed and is likely going to try to seduce the big lady. Pay up, sucker!" The male guard said to the female one with a satisfied smirk on his face.

"Goddamn teenage hormones! I bet he only stayed because of those gigantic bouncing boobs of hers! I shouldn't have expected any better from the male half of the species." The female guard groaned in frustration as she handed over a 20-dollar bill to the male guard.

"Now, now, my dear. No need to be so cynical or belittling towards the male half. While admittedly rare these days, there are still teenage men who are honest-to-god gentlemen. And if you had ever bothered to watch the show, you'd know that Cody fits the bill well." The male guard says somewhat smirking while checking the 20 spot just given to him.

"Fine I guess you right." The female guard admitted with some small difficulty.

"Bet ya 50 bucks that Cody gets a lot more intimate with those giant breasts of hers?"

"Your on!"


And there you have it, Cody now knows Heather's BIG secret and seems ok with it. Or at least, he's not so terrified by it to run away screaming from her gigantic body.

I'm especially curious to see how people feel about this chapter because in some ways this chapter is my first attempt at starting a actual romance and its also where I need to convince you, the reader, that this bizarre story concept has true potential. So, I guess my big questions are: how did I handle Heather and Cody in this chapter and could you see Cody forming a relationship with a Heather that is 50 feet tall?

Sadly, this is all that I have written for this story for the moment and it may be some time before I have enough to update this story again. However, just today I've written most of what will likely prove to be pivotal scene later in the story. My point is that be assured, even if this story isn't updated for a while; I'm still working on it.

So until the next update, please read, review, alert, favor, and spread the word!
