Later on, Susan was getting prepared at a beauty salon to look beautiful for her wedding. The stylists were applying red lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish, etc. When they were finished, they turned her around to face her mother and three friends. She held up her hands, flashing her nails as they got a good look at her. Her mother, Wendy, gasped in surprise and delight when she saw her daughter's new look.
"You look gorgeous, sweetheart!" She said happily.
"Thanks, mom." said Susan, smiling.
After her makeover and putting on her wedding gown, she arrived at the local church in a black limousine where her father, Carl, was waiting for her. She opened the door to see her father standing there with a big smile.
"Ah, my little girl!" He smiled with open arms.
"Daddy!" cried Susan with glee, jumping into her father's arms, hugging him.
"Now, I want you to know that, even though I'm about to give you away..." Carl said sniffling. "...I will always be there for you."
"Oh, don't cry." Susan moaned, starting to cry as well. "You'll make me cry too and that's just gonna be a mess."
"I can't help it!" Carl sobbed as he walking towards the church with her.
Wendy, wearing a red dress, entered the church with Susan and Carl following behind. Cameras flashed once she spoke, "Hello, everyone! Attention, attention! Wedding starts in 30 minutes!"
Susan was greeted a short, elderly woman in a purple dress and sunhat. "My beautiful daughter-in-law!" She laughed.
"Hi, Mama Dietl." said Susan, smiling at Derek's mother and her soon-to-be mother-in-law.
"It's like a fairy tale." Mrs. Dietl crowed. "The Weatherman and the Weatherman's Wife. Romantic."
"I know." Susan sighed dreamily. "Just think, this time tomorrow, I'm gonna be in Paris! And someday, we won't just be honeymooning there. Derek will become an anchor or a foreign correspondent. And we'll travel all over the world."
"Honey, my fingers are crossed." Mrs. Dietl grinned showing her crossed fingers. But Susan's eyes fell upon her right thumb which was unnaturally smaller than normal. This creeped her out.
"One thumb's shorter than the other. It runs in the family." explained Mrs. Dietl wiggling her thumbs.
"Derek doesn't have that." Susan said.
"It skips a generation." replied Mrs. Dietl, laughing. "Your kids are gonna have it!"
Susan didn't want to bring that image into her head so she forced a smile and strained chuckle.
She stood outside of the church under a gazebo. Giving a sigh of happiness, she contemplated the wonderful things she hoped she was going to experience. Her life with Derek. She will probably have beautiful children with him, own a luxurious mansion in Paris, even become a famous celebrity if possible. She always wanted to be a fashion designer. It's been her dream since high school. Living out her deepest desires with the man she loved. It couldn't get any better than this, could it? Soon her thoughts were cut off by a familiar voice.
"Wow, you look beautiful." She gasped and saw her future husband smiling at her.
"So do you." Susan grinned. "I mean, handsome. I mean,...sorry. I'm just a little frazzled. I just spent way too much time with our parents."
"Don't worry, okay?" Derek asked, grabbing her hands. "We'll be alone soon. Just us."
Susan hummed dreamily and twirled around. "Eating cheese and baguettes by the Seine, feeding each other's chocolate crepes." She smiled warmly as her beloved held her in his arms. She exhaled a soft, contented sigh.
"Uh..." said Derek confused.
"Is something wrong?" Susan asked him concerned.
"No, no! It's just that, well..." He scratched the back of his neck. "There's been a slight change of plans. We're not going to Paris."
Her eyes grew wide as dinner plates at the news. "What? Why not?" She demanded.
"Because we're going somewhere better." He smiled.
"Better than Paris?" She asked with hope.
"Oh, yeah." He nodded.
"Where? Tahiti?!" asked Susan excitedly.
"Nope. Fresno." Derek answered.
"Fresno!" She said giving this some thought. Instead of Paris, they were going some place that was less than what she had hoped for. "Fresno. In what universe is Fresno better than Paris, Derek?"
"In the "I've got an audition to become Channel 23's new evening anchor" universe." said Derek laughed and sounded elated. "I got a call from the general manager! He wants me to come in immediately! Isn't that great?"
Susan felt a bit disappointed that she wasn't going to Paris, but was happy for him nonetheless.
"Derek!" She said before lighting back up. "That's...amazing! It's amazing!"
She gave him a hug and asked, "Fresno's a top 50 market, isn't it?"
"It's 55th, but we're on our way, babe!" Derek cheered, kissing her knuckles. "Now, look. About Paris..."
"It's okay." chuckled Susan, waving it off. "It's fine! As long as we're together. Fresno is the most romantic city in the whole world. I'm so proud of you."
"Of us!" Derek corrected. "Not just of me. I mean, of course, but we're a team now. You're so proud of us."
Susan grinned and playfully shoved him. "Now get out of here!" She told him. "It's bad luck to see me in my dress."
"Oh, come on! You know I don't believe in that stuff." said Derek as he walked away back to the church. "I'll be waiting for you at the altar. The handsome news anchor in the tux!"
He marched off. "Love ya! There I said it!" His departing voice cried.
"I love you, too." Susan said back softly with a smile.
She stood there thinking about her future. Maybe Fresno wouldn't be too bad. It's not Paris, but wherever Derek is, she will be. But then she heard an unusual sound. Susan looked up in the sky to see a meteorite glowing a teal color and it was falling in her direction. She freaked out and ran away, in attempt to escape it's impact. But as she ran, the meteorite got closer and closer as she fled deeper into the meadow. Running out of breath, she stopped and the strange glowing rock lands right on top of her. It's teal glow fades. Back near the church, Wendy came out searching for Susan.
"Susan!" She called and looked around. "Oh, where could she be? Susan! Where are you?"
And then she saw her, slowly coming back up the hill. Her appearance was a bit disheveled; her dress was dirty, her hair was a tangled mess and she staggered up the hill unsteadily as if she were drunk. Her mother rushed to her, grabbing her arm.
"Susan! Where have you been?!" demanded Wendy as she brushed her daughter's dress.
"I think I just got hit by a meteorite." said Susan, woozily.
"Oh, Susan." Wendy sighed. "Every bride feels that way on her wedding day."
Wendy lead her back to the church as she reprimanded Susan. "My goodness! Look at you! You're filthy! Thank god, I have wet ones."
As they entered the church doors, a black vehicle parked in front of the building and a group of men marched out of the back with weapons of some sort.
Carl opened the doors to the altar while Wendy was preparing Susan after putting her in a spare gown and her veil. An elderly woman by the piano takes notice of their presence and begin playing "The Wedding March (Here Comes the Bride)". Everyone stood as Susan slowly walked up with her father to the alter where Derek was waiting; veil covering her face and holding a bouquet with yellow flowers. She finally came face to face with her husband-to-be as he lifted her veil. But when he did, he noticed something off about her.
"Wow." exclaimed Derek in shock. "You're glowing."
True to his word, her eyes began to give off a strange green glow which then engulfed her body. She smiled, taking his words as a compliment. "Thank you." She cooed.
"No, Susan, you're like really glowing. You're green!"
Confused, she looked at her hands and gasped when she saw he was right. Suddenly, she felt her entire body start to expand and she started to grow.
"Oh, no. Derek!" She cried with fear gripping her voice and brain.
She couldn't tell what was happening right now. Everyone, including Derek, watched in horror as the bride increased in size.
"Oh my gosh!" Wendy said frightened.
Susan's gown started to tear and rip as she got bigger and bigger by the second. Her brown hair start to turn platinum blonde, adding to the confusion.
"What's going on?" Derek asked. "What's happening here?"
"You're all shrinking!" shouted Susan.
"No, you're growing!" Derek shouted up to her.
"Well, make it stop!"
"Get me the government!" The reverend said on his phone as he smashed through the window.
"This is impossible!" Susan's voice boomed, her voice getting louder as she got even larger. When she grew another inch, her wedding garter snapped off and smacked into one of the attendees.
"No, this can't be happening!" Susan said as her hand broke through the front window. Then everyone panicked and started to run for the exit.
"Wait, wait, everybody, it's okay!" cried Susan as she tried to calm them down. "Have some champagne while we're figuring this out!"
"Thumbs! Thumbs!" Mrs. Dietl screamed as she tried to open the door, but her small thumb did little to help. But then the screaming crowd barreled into her, enough the brake through the doors as they made their escape from the madness. Susan looked down at Derek with worry.
"Derek! Help me!"
Her giant size was beginning to smash through the church. Derek dodged some collapsing beams before one knocked him out. Suddenly, the wooden structure of the church gave in and the now-enormous Susan stood upon the wreckage as the bell tower fell to the ground.
"Here comes the bride!"
"Oh, Carl! It's her wedding day!" screamed Wendy before some men in black grabbed her and Carl.
"Derek! Derek!" Susan shouted for her love. She lifted the beams off of him as he winced in pain.
"Beam hurt Derek." He said when Susan picked him up. "Susan?"
"Thank goodness, you're okay." She said with relief. "What's happening to me?"
"Don't worry! Don't panic!" He assured her. "Whatever you do, don't drop-"
The soldiers shot grabbling hooks at her, grabbing onto her arm, making her drop Derek. The agents placed a trampoline under him, breaking his fall.
"Who are you people? What are you doing?" asked Susan, trying to get free. She forced them to let go when she saw them take Derek away. "Stop it! Be careful!"
"Get off me!" Derek growled. "Do you know who I am?"
"Please leave me alone! OW!" Susan begged when they suddenly fired a large syringe into the back of her thigh, below her butt. She yanks it out and throws at the feet of a soldier.
The tranquilizer took full effect as Susan began to feel woozy and weak. She tried to take a few steps, only for the agents to trip her and tie ropes around her ankles, causing her to fall flat on her stomach on the ground. The soldiers tied more grappling hooks around her, tying her down.
"Derek." She moaned reaching a hand out to him. The last thing she saw before she shut her eyes as the look of horror on Derek's face as he saw what she had become.
"Alright, let's get this baby on the bus." Ordered a voice over walkie-talkies.
Poor Susan turned into a giantess on her wedding day after being hit by that meteorite. Wait and see what happens next. Read and review!
