It was close to 10:00pm, and Luigi had been sitting on the couch for 2 hours with an anxious expression on his face, waiting for his girlfriend to return. He was worrying about what had happened to her, even though it would be nothing of his business to question where she had been.
While he waited, the green Mario Brother resorted to occupying himself. He watched some TV, twiddled his thumbs, played solitaire, watched TV again, rested his eyes for a bit until Mario accidentally spilled some piping hot cocoa on his lap, changed his clothes, placed an ice pack on his pants to relieve the burn, made a small snack for himself, twiddled his thumbs again and read the newspaper. And none of that calmed him the slightest bit.
Mario shook his shoulders to tell his brother he was going to bed and wished him a goodnight.
"Okay Bro… see you in the morning, I suppose," Luigi mumbled.
When it was nearly 11 o'clock, the green Mario Brother gave up waiting and decided he'll just turn himself in for the night. He'll find out later just what happened to the bubbly girl.
After all, she is an independent woman, he reasonably thought. She can take care of herself…
/
Valentina wished that Luigi was here with her. After running away from Timmy's home, she hid herself beside the brick wall of a random building in the suburban Mushroom Kingdom outskirts. She was still reverting back to her adult self, and she sat patiently while her curves and womanly parts redeveloped.
By the time she had stopped growing, her clothes had became very tight and uncomfortable, and they did little to cover her modestly. Her shirt was near the tipping point of tearing apart from her overdeveloped chest, and her skirt was just barely clinging on her waist while trying to keep her "Fire Flower" from being exposed.
"Sigh… sigh… I… I guess I could take these off now…," she panted in exhaustion. "I'll just… sigh… just fly back home… sigh… No one will be able to see me while in the air…"
With that said, Valentina slipped off her ruined teenage clothes and threw them into a nearby garbage can. The bouncing beauty took a moment to catch her breath before taking the skies. She was startled when a stray and feral Shy Guy came out of nowhere and ambushed her.
"Shoo! Shoo! Leave me alone! Find some other naked girl to pick on!" Valentina barked at it.
The Shy Guy made a whimper, holding out its hands and begged for some food. Apparently, it didn't want to harm the bubbly girl. It was simply looking for something to eat. She looked at it with a bit of compassion.
"Aww… are you hungry, little fella? Here, I'll get you something to fill that stomach of yours…" She looked into one of the garbage cans and founded a broken bowl with a chip along the edge, as well as a twisted spoon. Setting the bowl up to her hefty bosom, she squirted out a generous amount of milk into it and placed the dish and utensil on the ground.
"Here you go! Dig in!"
The Shy Guy sniffed the strange "soup" before him before taking his spoon, scooping some of it up and eating it. The masked creature murmured in delight when the tasty fluids touched his tongue. He ran back to give Valentina a hug of thanks, picked up his bowl and took his business elsewhere. She giggled by its moment of affection.
"Hahaha… another good deed done by yours truly… well, now that that is settled… I'll just be on my way then," she mused. With a deep breath, the bubbly girl released her feathery wings, crouched down and blasted upwards into the air.
It was very cold night tonight, and Valentina sprouted goose bumps all over her body as she flew. But that was the least of her problems. Right now, she could only express concern over what his boyfriend Luigi would say when she comes back at such a late hour. And especially since all she was wearing right now was the skin on her back.
He'll hopefully understand, she thought. He's never the one to hold a grudge, and he never stays angry for long.
She finally reached Mario's Pad in record time, touching the ground in a three-point landing (with her feet and her head after she tripped on a stray rock). Using her wings to keep herself warm, Valentina carefully walked into the humble home and sneaked her way across the hallway. She peeked through Luigi's room to see if he was still sleeping… and to her relieve, he still was.
Quietly, she slipped herself inside the room and got under the blankets to join the green Mario Brother. Unfolding her wings, she giggled as she watched him lay his head peacefully on his pillow. The bouncing beauty crawled closer to her beloved and snuggled into his body lovingly. Luigi stirred in his sleep, mumbling incoherently and turned his head over so that he faced Valentina. His eyes momentarily opened up.
"Mama mia… please, let me have the chocolate pudding for dessert…," he muttered.
He laid perfectly still for a few seconds, until his eyes popped open in alarm.
"WHAAA! Valentina!" Luigi cried in shock. "What are you doing up so late at night? Where were you? I was worried sick about you!"
Valentina purred in affection, hoping it'll keep him calm. "I was just out, that's all… It was a nice evening, so I just took a long flight around town," she explained soothingly.
"You do realize it's past midnight, right?" he fretted. "I was frightened of what happened to you while you were gone! For I knew, you could have been mugged on the street or… uh… or kidnapped by Bowser or somebody! I couldn't help but…"
His girlfriend cut him off by putting a gentle finger to his lips. "Shh… relax, Luigi. I'm fine, okay? I'm all here in one piece, so you don't have to panic anymore." She gave him a tender kiss on the cheek and smiled. "And guess what? I finally got a job now."
Luigi perked his ears, his concern thrown out the window for now. "Huh? R-Really? That's… that's awesome!" He got himself closer and hugged her. "Congrats! I'm so proud of you!" he exclaimed with joy.
"Heehee! Thanks, honey! That means a lot to me!" she cooed.
"So… uh, what kind of work will you be doing?" Luigi curiously asked. His girlfriend giggled again, looked dearly at him and rested a soft hand on his leg, which made him blush.
"I'll tell you all about it in the morning, sweetie. Right now, let's just go to sleep." She curled an arm over him and pulled him into her squishy bosom. The Mario Brother struggled a little bit in her hold, so he could turn to her properly. They both looked at each other with a smile on their faces.
"Goodnight, Luigi."
"You too, Valentina. Sleep well."

Monday morning felt like any other morning of the week. The birds still chirp in their nests after sunrise. The grass still had that moist dew glazed on every yard. The Chain Chomps still barked at stray cats just to aggravate them. And the people would still eat their breakfast the same way like they always have.
But little did Valentina knew, this would be one Monday she'd never forget for the rest of her life.
The bubbly girl was eating some toast while she talked to Luigi about getting that babysitter job after all, all thanks to E. Gadd. She left out how she got the job, just so she wouldn't worry him.
"But… you said that this 'Femi' person didn't like you at all. So why would she change her mind now?" he asked.
"Umm… she was really in a hurry, and I was the only applicant available, I guess," she replied. It was the half-truth anyways.
"And the kids? What do you think of them?"
Valentina sighed happily, placing her hands on her chin. "Luigi… they're the most cutest angels you'll ever meet. I tell you… I never had so much fun with children before. Reminds me back to my days when I was their age."
"So in a way… it made you feel young being with them?" Luigi remarked.
The bouncing beauty hid a smirk. "I guess you can say that, and then some…," she purred.
A clock chimed, saying the time is 9:30am. And at the same moment, the phone rang in the kitchen. Luigi was about to get out of his chair to pick it up, but Valentina waved her hands at him.
"I'll go get it, honey. Just finish your breakfast," she smiled.
While the Mario Brother resumed to his cornflakes, confused but simply wavering it like it was nothing, the bubbly girl went to answer the call.
"Hello? Who is it?"
"Hey, deary! How's life in the youthful world?" E. Gadd chuckled in a friendly manner.
"Oh hi, Professor!" Valentina claimed cheerfully. She carefully and shyly gazed at Luigi. "Um… just to let you know, that thing you worked on actually works well!"
"Pardon, Valentina? I'm not sure I follow…"
The bouncing beauty cupped her hand to the receiver. "Luigi is in the room with me," she whispered. "I don't want him to know that I've been taking the youth formula…"
"Well… why don't you tell him? I'm sure he'd be interested to know!" E. Gadd acknowledged.
"No no… He shouldn't know anything… at least, not yet…," she muttered with a sly smile. "I… kinda want to show him when the time is right… you know, as a surprise."
"Ohh… I see. Hehehe… like to keep things romantic, eh?" the Professor laughed. "Well… I have to go for now… Got lots of inventions to take care of and what not. And again, if you find any problems with the formula, holler for me, okay? Salutations, dear Valentina!"
"You too, E. Gadd! Bye!" the bouncing beauty bubbled. She hung up the phone and went back to the table, until it rang again all too suddenly. She raised her eyebrows. "My my… a lot of people are on the lines today!" She brought the sound piece back to her ear. "Hello?"
"Hey, Valley! It's me, Timmy!" the Toad boy exclaimed.
"Oh hello! How are you doing, Timmy?"
"I'm doing okay. Urm… how come your voice sounds different today?"
Valentina gritted her teeth while she tried to come up with a simple explanation. "Uhh… I'm running a bit of a cold this morning," she lied. "It's nothing too major, though… I'll be fine."
"Oh, that's good! Because Mom says she needs you again tonight. She's going away to a convention center up in Seaside Town, so she'll be there all day! So… can you be able to watch us again?" Timmy asked. "Mom even says she'll pay extra."
Valentina beamed. "Sure! Just hang on tight, kiddo… I'll be on my way!" She hung up the phone again and rushed to her room to get her day clothes on. "Looks like duty calls, Luigi! I'll try to get back as soon as I can!"
"Well… okay then. But at least call me sometime tonight, alright? I love you!" the green Mario Brother uttered.

Once again, the bubbly girl chose to fly her way through the town. Her wings glided over the rooftops, casting large shadows on the ground below. She smelled the brisk air washing over her streamline body and sighed with delight. She'll never get tired of that.
As she circled around with her bird-eye view, Valentina noticed something that piqued her interest. On one of the streets, she saw a bunch of kids chasing down a smaller child. She thought that it could have been some sort of tag they're playing. But upon closer inspection, she noticed that the gang was launching pebbles and sticks in the direction of the little individual. And that the one running for his life looked a lot like…
"Timmy…," she gasped in horror.
In a swift swoop, Valentina lowered herself to the ground until she made a touchdown behind a neighbour's backyard. As she dusted herself off, the bouncing beauty can see the Timmy's assailants making jeers and nasty laughs, while the Toad boy kept running like there's no tomorrow. It looked like he wouldn't be able to sprint for much longer.
Valentina clenched her fists in anger, and she dug into her knapsack, pulling out a vial of the youth formula and some of her teenage-sized clothes. "No one messes with little kids and gets away with it," she growled. She uncorked the tube and swallowed all of the purple liquid in one gulp.
"Nyahahaha… what's the matter, short stuff? No place else to go?"
Timmy gulped as he saw the neighbourhood bullies gaining up on him. He kept pumping as fast as his little legs could take him, hoping he could somehow lose them in an alley. He turned a corner and sprinted with all his might, while dodging the projectiles that came his way. Ironic, he thought. His mother always told him that sticks and stones would break his bones…
Well… he was sure if this kept up, that statement is going to come true soon.
"Come on, mama's boy! We just wanna see ya get some stitch work done after we pummels ya!" bellowed a Monty Mole with a shiner around his eye.
"How about we see how far we can shove that stupid mushroom hat up where the sun don't shine, eh? chortled a small Pidgit, while riding top speed on his flying carpet.
"Don't worry, fellas! We got him right where we want him!" snickered the same Sumo Bro from two days ago, slowing down his pace.
Timmy whimpered while looking back and forth, noticing there was no more road left and that a giant, unclimbable wall was in his way. He gulped again as the gang of bullies were now surrounding him. The Toad boy got down on his knees and prayed.
"Please… someone help me… anybody…," he pleaded.
"Wishing ain't gonna help you, pincushion! Now…" The overweight Sumo Bro boy laughed coldly, as he yanked Timmy by the shirt. "Which do you choose to do this? The easy way or the hard way?"
"How about you let go of him first?"
The group of nasty neighbourhood kids all looked up and turned around in bewilderment. Timmy squinted his eyes to catch a glimpse of the person standing defiantly before her foes. His face lit up with surprise.
Right in front of all of them was Valentina, back in her adolescent form. And she was not pleased with the group of bullies. Her hands were upon her hips.
"Unhand the boy now… before someone gets hurt," she threatened, a steely look on her face.
"Or what?" the Monty Mole asked, apparently not frightened by her intimidating pose. "Ya gonna whip us with your training bra?"
"As a matter of fact… I am." The bubbly girl pulled out and gripped on a simple, extra brassiere like a nun chuck. "I so grew out of training bras years ago. But they make a nice weapon to deal some pretty painful welts on the skin."
"You're bluffing," the Sumo Bro snorted, unimpressed.
"This is outrageously silly! A girl taking on all three of us?" chirped the Pidgit. "With a piece of lacy undergarment? Hahahaha! Now I've seen everything!"
Valentina continued to hold her fighting pose. "This is your last warning," she told them. "Let go of Timmy right now, or I'll have no choice but to put the smack down on each and every one of you."
"Oh yeah? You and what army?" the tubby Sumo tempted her.
The bouncing beauty narrowed her eyes. "Buddy… I'm pretty much a walking arsenal…"
Before any of them could react, Valentina dashed ahead with incredible speed and thwacked the Monty Mole square in the eyes with her whip-like bra. The said Monty Mole screamed and clutched his face in agony. He was already in bad shape before the trio could even blink.
"GAAAAHHH! That smartens like heck! Get her for me, Pig and Sam!" he roared, while rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Leave her to me, Mutt! I'll deal with this hussy in a flash!" the Pidgit cried.
The one called Pig gripped on his flying carpet and soared towards Valentina, manically laughing his head off. The bubbly girl flung the tip of her bra at the menacing bird, but he zipped past its crosshairs harmlessly. She tried again and again, trying to knock off Pidgit from his tiny vehicle. Pig just cackled as she missed each time.
"You'll have to do better than that!" he taunted her while perched 15 feet off the ground.
"Man… this guy's tough to hit…," she muttered under her breath. The bouncing beauty examined her hands for a moment. "I wonder…" She clenched them tightly… and soon enough, magical flames erupted at her palms. She smirked.
"Oh yeah… that's perfect," Valentina chuckled while grinning.
Focusing her magic, she guided and aimed the fireballs at Pig. The Pidgit, meanwhile, was blowing a raspberry at her, until his eyes grew wide when he saw her launch the heated missiles, and he narrowly dodged them by inches.
"Hey! Are you crazy, lady?!" Pig squawked. "You nearly singed my tail feathers off! WHOA!"
The flight-assisted bird swerved again as more scorching flames came at his direction. He took off in the air while trying to get away from the bubbly girl's fiery wrath. One fireball got too close however, and it skimmed his carpet by the edge, causing his flying rug to combust into ashes. Pig yelled as he fell to the earth and landed in a convenient street dumpster.
"Ewww! My underside is covered in trash sludge!" he whined in the depths.
All that leaves now was Sam the Sumo Bro, who bared his teeth at the frisky female. Valentina only gave him a brave, determined smile. The bulky bully pointed an angry finger at her, while he was still clinging onto Timmy like a rag doll.
"Alright, you little stinker… you may have dispatched my buddies like houseflies… but you won't be able to pull those stunts with me! Mutt was our speed and Pig was our aerial combatant…," he bragged. "Want to guess what my specialty is?"
"Having more fat than King Bowser on junk food?" the bouncing beauty laughed.
"Grrrrr… NO!" Sam shouted at her. "I can make earthquakes with my boots!"
"Because you're very overweight? That would explain it!" she giggled.
The Sumo Bro's eyes flashed red while steam hissed out of his ears. "I'LL SHOW YOU OVERWEIGHT! TAKE THIS!" He violently pounded the pavement with his enormous feet.
The whole street trembled with significant vibration, locking Valentina's feet into place as she struggled to keep her balance. She swayed back and forth, while using her stringy arms to keep herself upright. Sam kept rattling the ground with a nasty grin on his face. He knew he got her now.
"Haha! Not so tough now, eh girly?!" he thundered while enjoying himself. "This keeps all my victims at bay! The only way you'll get out is if you're some kind of bird!"
Valentina perked her ears. "Really…," she mused. The bubbly girl looked at the Sumo Bro with a defiant smile and stretched out her back slowly. She breathed deeply through her nose. And right on cue… her feathery wings bloomed out from her shoulders, extending out triumphantly.
Sam was dumbfounded by the shocking scene that laid before him. He no longer quaked the earth as his eyes fixated on the bouncing beauty and her majestic appendages. Again, she only smirked at him while she rose into the air.
"My my… now who's the tough one now?" she cooed, while she gazed at him like a predator. And he was her prey.
Valentina then descended down to pounce the Sumo Bro. Sam screamed as she was heading for him and ran for cover, dropping Timmy in the process. The Toad boy massaged his neck while he frighten watched his babysitter capture the tubby bully and slammed him to the road, belly-side down and his hands twisted in her grip.
"Ow ow ow! Let go of me!" Sam whimpered pathetically. "Ahhhh!"
"Not until you listen to me, tub of lard!" Valentina growled, making sure to firmly grasp his wrists without damaging him. "First things first… I want you to stop being mean to this little kid, you hear? That means no name-calling, no chases around town and no throwing stuff at him!"
"Okay! Okay! Yeeeeeaaaaa!" The Sumo Bro shrieked as the bubbly girl pinched his bare skin.
"Promise me!" she stormed.
"Alright! Alright! I promise!"
"Good! Now second thing… you are to treat him nicely from now on! And you will tell off the other kids at his school to stop picking on him! Got it?"
"I got it! I swear!" Sam sniffled. The pain she exerted on him was extremely uncomfortable. "We'll even open the door for him at recess!"
"Good!" Valentina repeated. She brought her angry face closer to his. "Because if I hear even once that you bothered or humiliated Timmy again…" Her tone became dangerously low and venomous. "…you'll be answering through me. If I find a bruise on his head, you'll get a fractured skull. If I find a scrap, you'll get a scar. And if I find him in tears because of you… you're going to pray every day for the rest of your miserable life that I don't hunt you down and beat you into a pulp…" She let go of his hands and got off him. "Now off with you and get out of my sight!"
Sam shivered under the shadow of her rage before calling out to Mutt and Pig. "Let's get outta here, guys!" And all three of them ran out of the street, never looking back and with fear etched permanently on their mugs.
The bouncing beauty relaxed her posture after her attackers were gone. She breathed heavily from the exertion she put on herself. When her heart rate returned to normal, Valentina turned around to look at Timmy with worried eyes. The Toad boy scrambled backwards, thinking that he was next to be tortured.
"It's okay, Timmy. I'm not going to harm you," she said soothingly. "Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah… I think so…," he nodded shakily. He took a moment to let what he just saw sink in. "Wow… you… you saved my life, Valley!"
Valentina smiled. "Well… I wasn't going to stand idle while you were about to get the snot beaten out of you, would I?" she laughed. She held out a hand to him. "Need some help up? Timmy took her offer and she lifted him back to his feet. He dusted himself off while still gaping at her like some sort of goddess.
"That was amazing! You tackled those guys like a pro!" he spoke in awe. "And… and I never knew you could fly! Or conjure up fire from your hands! You're like some sort of superhero!"
A giggle escaped from the bubbly girl's lips. "Thank you, Timmy! I'm glad you're impressed! But as far as anyone else is concerned, I'm just your caring babysitter." She rested a delicate hand on his shoulder while looking down at him lovingly. "Now… how's about we go back to your house? I'm sure you're mom is worried where you are."
"Yeah, I know… but I don't feel like I can run anymore… my legs are all sore from that wild goose chase," the Toad boy complained, rubbing his aching feet.
"Heehee… alright. Hop into my arms then. I'll glide you back home."
Timmy gave her his wary expression again. "You won't drop me, will you?"
Valentina giggled again while hugging him securely. "Of course not, silly. I can assure you I'm a responsible flyer, so I don't let go of my passengers on purpose. Now hold on to me… we're about to take off!"
With the strong flaps from her wings, they both rose off the ground and were over the rooftops in no time. The bouncing beauty watched as Timmy's eyes grew wide with wonder. He only pictured of flying like this in his dreams… and now here he is, hovering over the town like a cloud. The Toad boy spread out his arms like an airplane, feeling euphorically thrilled.
"Ya-hoooo!" he cheered. The ride didn't last long though, as they were just nearing his house. Valentina took him around once before choosing the end of the street to land.
"I hope you don't mind if we stop here," she explained. "I don't want your mom to know that I've flown you… I'm sure she wouldn't allow it again if she saw."
"Yeah," Timmy agreed with her. "She won't even let me use the toaster without permission." He gave her a warm hug with a smile on his face. "Thanks for the ride, Valley... as well as saving my butt from those guys." The bubbly girl returned his affection with a gentle squeeze.
"You're welcome, Timmy," she happily murmured.
They walked toward the little Toad boy's home. From there, they could see Tutti playing with her dolls on the front yard and Femi cleaning her car with a sponge and a bucket of soapy water. The motherly Toad saw the pair and waved.
"Ah, Miss Valley! I appreciate you coming again!" she kindly greeted. "Were you escorting my son out of trouble, I see?"
"Oh… only a little trouble," Valentina remarked while giving a sly wink to Timmy, who shyly beamed. "He had a run-in with a couple of kids, but I straightened it out with them. And they're good friends with him now."
"Oh really? That's great news! Poor Timmy hasn't had a friend in ages!" Femi replied.
"So… does that mean my big brother won't play with me anymore?" Tutti asked with sad eyes. Timmy gave her a gentle pat on the head.
"Of course I'll still play with you, Tutti," he calmed her.
"Yay! Timmy still likes me! Timmy still likes me!" she sang.
"So I heard you're going to a convention down Seaside Town," Valentina recalled. "How long are you going to be gone for?"
Femi thought about it. "Well… it's quite a long drive there, and they said they need someone to take care of the décor, so… I might not even come back until tomorrow. You could spend the night here if you wish."
"I'd be delighted to stay here for the evening!" the bouncing beauty exclaimed. "That way, I could be closer to the kids! Perhaps me, Timmy and Tutti could even hold a little slumber party together!"
"Ooh! Slumber party? What's that, Valley?" Tutti questioned with curiosity.
"Well, Tutti… it's like being in a regular party, but you get to stay up all night if you want to. You could even get to eat your favourite snacks, plus you get to play lots of games too!"
"Yay! I love games!" the Toad girl cheered.
"Hahaha… I'm sure you'll all have fun while I'm gone!" the Toad mother chuckled. "I guess that means I'll be off then. Will you be needing anything, Miss Valley?" she added, just before entering her car.
"Nope! I think I have everything under control here!" Valentina responded. "Good luck on your trip, Miss Femi!"
"Alright then," she smiled. She looked at Timmy and Tutti and waved. "Bye, kids! I love you both very much!"
"Bye Mom!"
"Goodbye Mommy!"
The female Toad drove her vehicle out of the driveway. Everyone watched her go down the street until she was only a speck in the distance of the long stretch of road. The bubbly girl turned to the two Toad children.
"Let's say we go inside and I'll whip us up some sandwiches for lunch, okay?" she suggested. They both nodded.
"Some sandwiches would be nice," Timmy said, while rubbing his belly. "I haven't had a bite since I was chased… er, I mean… running with my new friends this morning. Hehe…" He blushed furiously for almost letting that slip past his mouth.
"Me too!" his sister agreed. "I'm so hungry and thirsty, I could… I could… uh… I could eat the whole we-fwidge-juh-nater!"
"Hahaha… it's called a 'refrigerator', Tutti," he explained while laughing. They all went inside the humble home to fix themselves a meal.
/
"Lakitu. L-A-K-I-T-U. And that landed on a double letter score space, so that comes up to 20 points."
"Uhh… Cat. C-A-T. I get 5 points for that one," Tutti said.
The two Toad kids were playing Scrabble while Valentina was preparing their sandwiches. So far, they were quiet in their little game, but Tutti was feeling aggravated… not because she wasn't doing as well as Timmy, but because her dry tongue was bothering her while she talked.
"Okay, I got a word here… Juice. J-U-I-C-E," her brother spoke, stacking the letters on the board. "That's worth 14 points."
"Oh…" Tutti smacked her lips. Her mouth felt like sandpaper. "Umm… Bird. B-I-R-D. I get 7 points now."
Timmy thought hard and saw a set of letters he could use. "Aqua. A-Q-U-A. And it landed on a triple letter score space. That's 39 points total."
"Nuh uh! That can't be a real word!" she complained, pointing an accusing finger at him. "You cheated!"
"It is so! I'll even show you!" The Toad boy pulled out the dictionary and flipped through the pages. "There, see? Aqua! Means a light blue color, as well as the Latin term for water!"
"Uhhh…" The need to quench her thirst was unbearable. "I got to go right now…"
Timmy quickly dropped the argument and looked at her with concern. "Do you mean you need to go potty? Well, come on… I'll take you to the bathroom."
"Not that… I want to go to the kitchen. I want something to drink," Tutti explained. Her voice sounded raspy.
"Oh, okay then. I'll wait here," he nodded.
She got up from the floor and walked out of the living room to go see her babysitter. Meanwhile, Valentina was just finishing up their meals with some crackers and celery when Tutti came into her domain.
"Oh hi, Tutti!" the bouncing beauty greeted her. "I didn't see you there! What is it you need?"
"Valley… I'm really thirsty. Could I have a cup, please?"
"Sure I can. Don't you worry," she soothed. "We'll get you 'un-parched' in no time."
But before she could do anything… BANG! A loud noise shot out from nowhere, scaring the living daylights out of anyone within hearing range. It sounded like it came from the basement, because smoke was pouring out from downstairs. Timmy groaned.
"Not the darned washing machine again!" he blurted out from the hallway. "I thought Mom had got it fixed last week with the repair man! 'Guaranteed to last'… my butt! Ugh… Valley? Can you come down here? This could be messy if we don't turn it off!"
The bubbly girl cringed as yet another BANG rang out in the air. She looked back at Tutti. "Looks like your brother needs some help. I'll be right back, okay? Don't go anywhere!"
Valentina ran out to assist the Toad boy with the malfunctioning appliance. A faint rumble could be heard that got louder and louder until a mini explosion shook the whole foundation. While they were trying to prevent their house from collapsing on itself, Tutti stood in the middle of the kitchen, wheezing silently while her dry throat struggled to suck in air.
"Ohhh… I'm so thirsty!" she whined, bouncing on her feet.
The Toad girl looked at the fridge in front of her. Inside, she could imagine a large pitcher of lemonade just waiting to be sipped from. Her eyes lit up as she smacked her lips again.
"Mmm… maybe I could get a cup myself! Valley did say I'm supposed to stay here…," she mused. "But she didn't say I should leave the kitchen!"
She went to dig out a glass from the cupboard. Then she went over to the refrigerator and pulled the door open with all her might. A chill breathed over her while she looked at its contents. She saw a pickle jar, some cans of alphabet soup, a loaf of bread, two or three bags of oranges, a cantaloupe, a box of pizza that would be dinner for tonight… and a strange glass that had some purple liquid.
Tutti eyed the beaker containing the youth formula, of which Valentina placed in the fridge for safe keeping, and she squealed in delight. "Oh boy! Grape juice, my favourite!" She pulled it out and, being very careful, she poured half of the fluid into her cup. After storing the beaker back to its place, she was now holding half an ounce of the miraculous substance in her hand. She took a whiff and had a puzzled look.
"That's funny… it smells like cherries for some reason," she wondered. "Oh well… I like cherries too!" And with that said, she brought the beverage to her lips and gulped it all down.
It splashed down her belly and fizzed a bit like soda. Yep, it was nothing like any grape juice she ever had. She went to try put away her cup in the sink, but found she was too short to get up there. And the stool she uses to reach was nowhere in sight.
But her thoughts on where she kept her little step ladder were diminished as a cold draft, much colder than the air in the refrigerator, had taken over her body. The little Toad girl quaked, wondering if she either didn't close the fridge door right or someone turned down the thermostat. But the effect didn't last long as she suddenly felt very hot, like a summer sun is beating down on her.
"Ooooh… What's going on here? I don't feel so good…," Tutti mumbled.
For some reason, her clothing felt a bit tight… like it shrunk in the wash. She felt tingly all over as her stomach began churning. The Toad girl was scared about what was happening to her. Then she gave an "Oh!" of surprise as her body started to change.
Her small tummy was lengthening while it became smooth and trimmed of her leftover baby fat. Her little arms were also stretching out, looking more and more complex in bone structure. Her legs sprouted from short and stubby-looking, to long and shapely. She was starting to even develop broad shoulders, more bendable elbows and strong kneecaps, many of these of which most Toads don't even have in today's society.
"Gah!" Tutti was shocked when her clothes tore off after becoming too small to fit her. She pulled out her shoes when her feet had gotten too large. After doing that, she stopped to look at her hands. They were way bigger than she remembered them, plus each finger was thinning up and looking more human. Another surprise hit her when she noticed that something… or make that two somethings, were on her chest. Where there had only been a flat patch of skin, a pair of breasts had formed on her body. They plumped up by the minute, gaining mass until they were D-cups.
The whole time, she also noticed that she was getting taller. Inch by inch, her surroundings became less towering and more proportionate. She kept gaining height as her body grew more mature, totally astounded by the fact that she could even be taller than her own mother, but about the same size as Valentina.
It all ended just shortly after Tutti felt no more discomfort in her stomach. Her breathing was ragged and unfamiliar. While she shivered in fear of her transformation, she examined every curve on her body. It was all alien to her… and yet she was also in control of it. She fiddled with her fingers to discover their new graceful movement. She prodded her bosom, and gasped when it felt so soft and cuddly, like her teddy bear.
Tutti was startled when she heard someone coming into the kitchen. She turned her head and her gaze fell upon Timmy, who had just entered after taking care of the washing machine. There was bubbly soap detergent all over his shirt and mushroom cap.
"Okay, Valley! I'm just going to go find some screwdrivers so we can fix… that… infernal… thing…," he said, his words became softer and more quiet when he saw, at least apparently to him, a naked womanly stranger in the dining room.
"AAAHHHHHH!" The Toad boy screamed at the top of his lungs. "VALLEY! HEEEEELLLLLP! THERE'S A ROBBER WITH NO CLOTHES IN THE KITCHEN!"
"No no no! Don't panic, Timmy! It's me! Tutti! Oh!" The Toad girl hushed herself when she heard her voice. It became much deeper than she was accustomed to.
"What?! How do you know my sister's name?! You have her hostage, do you?!" he panicked, backing up to the wall when she got closer to him.
"No! It's really me, big brother! You gotta believe me!"
"No way!" he denied. "If you're actually my sister, you'd know something about me!"
Tutti thought desperately to prove her brother that she was telling the truth. "Umm… uh… oh! Your middle name is Ice!"
"Big deal! Anyone could know that! Even our mailman knows!" Timmy shouted.
"You got a scrap on your left knee when you were biking down the hill near Fungi Avenue last year!
"Not good enough! A lot of kids were there that day! They picked on me until I cried!"
"Ohhh…" She was running out of ways to convince him. Then she remembered one memory. "I know! That day when your hamster Huey died! You were so sad, and I was there to hug you to make you feel better! And I said that he's now in a better place, eating food pellets and running on little wheels! And we laughed because you said Huey would be driving on a fast mo… mo… muto-si-cal!"
"It's pronounced 'motorcycle'!" the Toad boy yelled. "How many times do I have you tell you, Tutti?! GASP!" Timmy covered his mouth, realizing now who this frightening person in front of him is. And now… just by further inspection, he looked deeply at her face and saw the scared form of his sister. His eyes went all wide and glassy. "T-T-Tutti? Is… is that r-really you?"
"I… I think so," she quavered, gripping her body as though it might fall apart. "What's happened to me, Timmy?"
"I don't know! I should be asking you that question! No no, don't cry!" he stammered, before rushing up to her when tears were rolling down her eyes. He gave her a sympathetic hug, even though her waist almost towers over his head. "It's okay! Me and Valley will find a way to get you back to normal, okay? I promise."
His sister sniffled, looking down at her brother, and gave him a hug too. "Thank you, Timmy… you're the bestest big brother ever..." She giggled a little while cuddling him. "…but I guess I can't say that, since I'm bigger than you, huh? So you'd be my little brother. Heehee…"
Timmy laughed with her. "Yeah… I guess that would be true," he decided.
At that point, Valentina ran into the kitchen feeling exhausted, a worried look on her face and foamy soap all over her clothes. "Timmy? Are you okay? Where's the robbers?" she panted.
"No, it's okay Valley! There's no robbers!" the Toad boy explained. "Uhh… you might find it hard to understand, but… this is Tutti. She's somehow gotten a little… older." He pointed to his rapidly matured sister, who just stood there openly while in the buff.
The bubbly girl raised her eyes, totally surprised… and then spotted a cup on the ground that had a bit of purple liquid left. Her heart skipped a beat or two.
"Uhhhh… what were you doing before you changed, Tutti?" she asked warily. "Did you happened to drink something when I left?"
"Ummm… maybe?" The Toad girl cringed a bit. "Err… I mean… yes?"
Valentina was suddenly hit with a flashback. She could hear E. Gadd's grave voice ringing in her ears…
"And remember… do not give this to anyone else, especially to other species. I've adjusted the formula so it can supposedly handle the female human body…"
"Oh my…," the bouncing beauty muttered in fear. "What have I created here?"
"What was that, Valley? I didn't catch that…," Timmy wondered with confusion.
"Uhhh… I said… 'Is it hot in here?'," she lied, while fanning herself with her hand. "I think somebody has been messing with the temperature. Did you touch the thermostat, Timmy?"
"Umm… Valley? The thermostat says it's 68 degrees," he told her, while pointing to the small device on the wall. "It's fairly cold in here. So I don't know how you you'd think it's even warm."
"Oh… hahaha… well, maybe it's just me then," Valentina gulped with nervous laughter.
"So what do these do, Valley?" Tutti asked, while holding her ample breasts in her hands. "I see them a lot, but Mommy never says what they are."
Timmy flushed very brightly. He wasn't used to seeing his sister play with herself, especially since she is now fully-grown. "Um… I don't think you should be messing with those, Tutti. Remember what Mom told you about not touching your 'no-no'?" he reminded her, using quotes to emphasis the last word.
"Oh yeah…" The curious Toad girl bended down to look at her 'no-no'. She stared at it with puzzlement. "It's a lot fuzzier than I remembered it to be…" She prodded it… and squealed as she suddenly felt sensitivity rippling all over her body. "Ohhhh… so… so that's what it does?"
"Tutti! Don't touch your 'no-no'!" Timmy scolded at her.
"But why? It's just a part of me, right?"
"Still… it's not something you should be proud of showing off," Valentina clarified. Even being a little frisky at times herself (particularly to a certain plumber), the bubbly girl had learned self-control of not stroking her private areas. Especially when not doing it in front of little kids.
"Can't I just touch it one more time? I don't see what all the fuss is about..."
"NO TOUCHING YOUR 'NO-NO'!" Timmy and Valentina shouted in unison.
"No! You can't make me!" she cried. But before she could even lay a finger on it, both of them pulled the poor Toad girl down to the floor and held her arms. It was quite the struggle. With her unknown strength, she tried yanking herself free from both her brother and her babysitter. But they managed to keep her from escaping. She screamed and thrashed around, while her need to feel her forbidden spot was somehow escalating.
"Sorry, Tutti! But this is for your own good!" Timmy grunted, while sitting on her right hand. "Just remember we're only doing this because we love you!"
"Trust me, Toot! You're better off knowing way later than finding out now!" Valentina panted, trying to calm her as she grabbed her left bicep. She discovered how strong the Toad girl was, just by holding one piece of her in place. She had no idea how Timmy is not being flung off by her sister.
It was like that for 10 minutes. Afterwards, Tutti felt too tired to wrestle out of their grip and laid slump on the floor, her chest heaving up and down.
"Shh… relax now. That's a good girl…," her brother soothed, rubbing her toned belly. He looked to his babysitter. "What are we gonna do, Valley? What if Tutti stays like this forever? What would Mom say? She'd faint if she sees my sister like this!"
At that time, Valentina was hit with another vivid flashback…
"… if you experience any problems after consumption, come and alert me…"
The bouncing beauty gave a brave smile. "I think I know of someone who can help us. He may be a little zany, but trust me… I'm sure he'll find a way to get your sister back to the way she was."
