Gwen’s POV

Oh my aching head... What happened? Last thing I remember was to drink the potion after chanting the spell to help boost my powers. Next thing I know is that I was feeling dizzy, and quizy, and completely sick. Did that spell try to kill me? No, that’s impossible. I followed all the ingredients; chant the right words and anything. Where did I go completely wrong? Maybe it has to do with side effects. Yeah that’s right. Like those little warnings about the drug commercials I’ve watched on TV. Well whatever happened, I just hope my powers are stronger then they were. Cause if it didn’t, then I don’t know what to do.

Normal POV

Gwen was unconscious for about half an hour and she didn’t know what just happened. After a long rest, she finally stirred and slowly got up from her sudden sickness. She groaned a little and shook her head, completely dazed at what transpired.

Adult Gwen: “Oh man... That was bad... Who would’ve thought the potion I drank had quite a kick.”

She cleared her throat a little, thinking something wasn’t right. It sounds like her voice sounded a whole lot different then before. It almost sound like it was completely lower, like a few octaves lower. She brushed that aside and thought she got a cold, probably from the potion she drank. Soon after she felt better, she got up and thought of checking the spell again, see what she did wrong. But when she stood up, she notices something else completely different.

Gwen: “That’s odd... The bedroom seems to be smaller then before.”

When she didn’t know was that her height increased incredibly. Her former height was suppose to be 4’5 feet, but with her sudden progression, Gwen was now over 5’5 feet. Thinking that she must be hallucinating due to the potions effect, she brushed it aside and left the bedroom of the RV. As she left the room, Gwen noticed another thing that’s different. From what she could understand was that strands of her hair was blocking her vision. She brushed those strands aside and proceeded to the kitchen, without her knowing that her hair grew long before, causing the strands to cascade over her face. She was about approach the stove where the spell book and the pot filled with the potion she created is. But when she past of full-length mirror, Gwen stopped and noticed something wasn’t right at all. She quickly walked back to the mirror to see what she thought she saw. What she was looking at completely shocked her.

Adult Gwen: “Oh my god...”

Staring in front of Gwen was some kind of complete stranger in the mirror. But this isn’t any stranger; it was herself, at least her older self to be more precise. She appears to be twenty-years-old, a young mature adult and looks to be ready for her third year in college. She now knew that she grew a large amount of height and was tall enough to pass into a nightclub. Luckily, her clothes were able to cover her grown body, but it looks like her clothes are too tight and on the verge of bursting out. Her chest has a pair of tear drop shaped C-cup breasts that have stretched the cat logo of her shirt. There was a rip down the middle of her neckline and exposes the cleavage right down the top area. The bottom hem of her shirt was now up to the top area of her waist, completely exposing her entire stomach. Speaking of her waist, it was very adult like in any way possible. Her stomach was completely flat and could show off signs of abs while her hips were completely wide, showing off her curvy hourglass figure. Her arms were long a very tone with unique feminine muscles, but the sudden growth caused the sleeves of her shirt to explode, revealing more skin then normal. To top it all off, her hands were dainty and elegant with long, slender fingers and nails that grew two and a half inches long.

Gwen’s pants felt incredibly tight so she look down to see the damage had been done. What she saw was truly bad. Due to her increasing hips, the zipper and button opened up to reveal her cotton panties, which were stretched to the limit. The bottom hem of her leggings was gone completely, making them look like some real short shorts. That got her to look and her fully exposed legs, which were long and very sexy at this point. She also noticed her shoes were gone, knowing that they were ripped to shreds and revealed her big yet shapely feet.

Last thing that Gwen took a real good look at was her face. She took a closer look at it and could tell that there wasn’t an ounce of her old self anywhere. In fact, she almost looks like her mother when she was in college. Her structure was completely oval with high cheekbones and no baby fat what so ever. Her nose was long and thin and below it, her lips were puffy and sultry. There were no signs of freckles on her forehead or at the bridge of her nose. Though she always covers that stuff up with some make up, it was all gone when the sweat from her pain washed all the make up off. And last but certainly not least, her orange hair she always had cut short grew all the way down to her lower back. Gwen couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Starring right in the mirror is herself, only much older and so much mature. She placed her hands on her face and had an O shaped mouth, completely shocked at what she’s witnessing.

Adult Gwen: “Is this really me? No, no it can’t be. There’s no way I grew up so fast. Maybe I must be dreaming all of this or something.”

She started to pinch one of her cheeks with her delicate fingernails to see if she really was dreaming. When she did that, she felt a sharp and yelped be reaction. But soon after she did that, she didn’t wake up or anything. Instead, she was still looking at her adulterated self in the full-length mirror. That’s when she now knows that she wasn’t dreaming at all.

Adult Gwen: “Okay... So I’m not dreaming. But still...”

She moved her hands up and down her newly adult body, still shocked at the sight of it.

Adult Gwen: “I can’t believe it’s so real...”

She continued to scan her body, until she reached her newly grown breasts. After a simple touch and squeeze, she felt something different, something she never felt before. What she didn’t know was that her hormones grew along with her body, making her feel like a woman.

Adult Gwen: “Whoa... That was new.”

She squeezed them a couple of times and they felt pretty good. But she soon realized the situation she’s in and stopped doing it before she got a little too far. She took a closer look at what had happened to her and still couldn’t believe it.

Adult Gwen: “Okay Gwen, let’s calm down. You now have the body of an adult and a mind of a kid.”

She then noticed that she was saying this out loud and placed her hands over her mouth, realizing it.

Adult Gwen: “Great... Now I’m talking to myself like I’m an insane person. But how did all this happened.”

Gwen started to piece all of this together, trying to see how her body grown up in the first place. She remembers screwing up back at Fort Knox and thought she wasn’t as powerful as she expects it. She went to her spell book later that night to find a spell that could make her powers stronger. That’s when she found an acceleration spell that will make her powers much stronger then before. She gathered up all the ingredients, enchanted the spell and drink from the... That’s when it hit her. That’s when she realized how she grew up so fast.

Adult Gwen: “The book!”

She hurried straight to the kitchen area and approached the stove where both the book, and the pot filled with the potion was. There, she took the book and looked at the spell she just done.

Adult Gwen: “I don’t get it. I followed everything the spell said and it all worked well. What did I do wrong?”

She was about to find out what the spell did to her and reverse the process. But before she could do something about it, she heard two voices that were very familiar to her.

Ben: “Grandpa, could you give me a little help here? This bags are awfully heavy.”

Grandpa Max: “Sorry Ben, but I got my hands full over here. Besides, you could use all the exercise carrying all that weight on you.”

Ben: “Aw man... I knew I should’ve turned to Four Arms when I had the chance.”

Hearing those two voices could mean only one thing. Ben and her grandfather are back. She ran to the window and took a peek at who she thought is coming. What she saw was both Ben and Max heading back to the Rustbucket carrying bags of food in their arms. Seeing them back so soon brought fear into her heart as she realized the situation she’s officially in.

Adult Gwen: “Oh no, they’re back! I can’t let them see me like this. What am I going to do?”

Thinking all of this through, Gwen decided to hide everything first before they come in. First she headed back to the kitchen, picked up the pot, and dumped what’s left of the potion into the sink’s drain. She feared that if either Ben or Grandpa drinks this potion, they would suffer the same fate as her. After she was done with that, her next move was to hide herself from them until she could get herself back to normal. So Gwen took the book and headed to the bathroom, which made it a real good hiding place. As soon as she locked the door, the entrance to the RV opened up and both Ben and Max went inside.

Grandpa Max: “Gwen, we’re home! We got something you would really enjoy for lunch. Fried eels with liver bits and drizzled in milk sauce from a yak.”

Ben looked at his grandfather and was completely disgusted by it.

Ben: Uh grandpa... I don’t think that would be good at all.”

Max looked at his grandson and wasn’t sure what he meant about that.

Grandpa Max: “Nonsense Ben. Now what makes you think that this meal I will be preparing isn’t anything good? I mean it’s good for the digestive tracks.”

That thought made Ben sick to his stomach.

Ben: “That’s what I was afraid of.”

Ben put the bags he was carrying on the floor and started searching for his geek cousin.

Ben: “Hey Gwen, did you hear us? We’re back! Get ready for another one of Grandpa’s so called delicacies.”

But for some strange reason, there wasn’t an answer coming from Gwen. It was just quiet with no annoying cousin screaming at him. It was like she almost disappeared or something. So he called her out again, to see if she was paying attention.

Ben: “Hello... Gwen, are you there? We came back from the supermarket.”

But still nothing. Ben then scratched his head and wondered where Gwen is at.

Ben: “Hmm... That’s strange... Where is she?”

What he didn’t know was that Gwen was hiding from the two. She was in the bathroom sitting on the toilet seat, shaking her legs a little and clutching onto her book, hoping they won’t come here. Outside the bathroom, Ben continued to search for his cousin. But as soon as he turned around, he got startled, as Max was right behind him.

Grandpa Max: “Ben, have you seen Gwen anywhere? I can’t find her in the RV.”

Ben: “I was thinking the same thing grandpa. Maybe she went back out again, probably reading through her spell book again.

Max looked at the table and noticed Gwen’s cell phone resting on top of it.

Grandpa Max: “If she was about to leave, she should’ve brought her cell phone along with her. And didn’t she say that she was going to get some rest. Something isn’t right. Let’s look around and see if she’s around.”

Ben nodded in agreement and the two started to search through the RV to see if she was hiding or not. Of course, Gwen was still hiding in the bathroom, hoping they would leave. But when she heard that they were going to search the Rustbucket, she knew that it would be a matter of time before they come here. As they were searching, Max looked into his bedroom and noticed some tatters of ripped up fabrics and torn sneakers on his bed. He closely observed the tattered remains and could tell where they came from.

Grandpa Max: “Hmm... That’s strange... This looks like Gwen’s clothes. What happened here?”

As he was looking at the ripped fabrics, Ben was looking around the rest of the RV to see if his cousin was anywhere. That’s when he decided to head to the bathroom to take a bit of a break. But when he approached the bathroom door and turned the knob, the door won’t open. The moment Gwen heard the door trying to open; she now got more nervous then ever as she was found out. After trying to open it a couple of times, Ben realized that it was locked and someone was inside. And he knew who that someone is the moment he figured it all out. He turned to look at his grandfather, who was still in his room and called him out.

Ben: “Hey grandpa? I think I found Gwen.”

Max turned around to see Ben and approached to see what he was talking about.

Grandpa Max: “What do you mean Ben?”

Ben: “I think Gwen is in the bathroom.”

Max looked at the bathroom door and tried to open it. When he noticed that it was locked, he knew that Ben was telling the truth. So to that end, he knocked on the door to see if she was in there.

Grandpa Max: “Gwen, are you in there? It’s your grandfather. What’s going on here? I saw tattered pieces of clothes on my bed. What are you doing in there?”

Gwen was now in deep trouble. Not only that they found her, but if they open the door, they are in for a major surprise. She gotta think of a way to get out of this, and fast before they could see the truth with their own eyes. As she was coming up with a plan, Max was getting a little impatient waiting for his granddaughter’s answer.

Grandpa Max: “Gwen... I know you’re in there young lady. Answer me!”

There was a bit of a silence as Gwen tried to figure out how to avoid this. That’s when she came up with a way to get them off her back. So she cleared her throat so that it would sound like her young voice and responded back.

Adult Gwen: “Yes grandpa, I’m in here. Please don’t come in, I’m doing something private at the moment.”

Gwen thought she got it in the bag, but outside Max thought her voice sounded a little different then before. So he asked her again.

Grandpa Max: “Are you sure? It doesn’t sound like your all right. What is wrong with your voice?”

She put her hand in her mouth and forgot that her voice didn’t sound like the old voice she use to have. Quickly, she came up with another false answer to trick them.

Adult Gwen: “Oh, I’m just having a little cold. Don’t come in though, I might be contagious.”

Max rubbed his chin a little and finds it a bit more odd then normal. Gwen never had a cold the moment they left and she was completely fine yesterday. There was no way she would get sick this quick. Something wasn’t right and Max was going to find out for himself. He turned the knob over and over again to get the door open, but that proved to be little affect. He started yelling at her to open while banging his fist at the door.

Grandpa Max: “Gwendolyn Tennyson, I urge you to open this door right now or else! Gwendolyn!

Now Gwen was really in trouble. She knew that whenever her family calls out her full name, it means that they were upset. She wanted to open the door and tell them the truth. But how would she when she had a body of a full grownup instead of a preteen girl. Max kept on jiggling the knob, hoping that it might unlock somehow, but still to no avail. Running out of ideas, he turned to his grandson and gives the approval.

Grandpa Max: “Ben...”

To that end, Ben lifted his arm where the Omnitrix was attached, opened the selection screen, and picked the right alien for the job.

Ben: “Way ahead of you grandpa.”

He slapped the watch down and a green light engulfed the RV entirely. In the bathroom, Gwen saw the lighting coming through the cracks of the doors and could tell that Ben turned into another alien and she knows why. Ben would need a specific type of alien to help him break through the door. Question is which alien did he choose. As Gwen pondered that for a moment, she got interrupted when a thin papery strip burst through the door and moved on its own. Then another came through the top part, then another from the bottom, and more strips appeared from just about everywhere. Once they were all in place, they all pulled to pry the door open and they all succeeded. Now Gwen is in for it deep, really deep. Coming out of the now broken door was a living mummy that could be only found in movies. But this was no ordinary mummy. Though its body resembles a mummy, it had an ability of stretching and unraveling its arms, legs, hands and everything else to what ever it wants. It face was covered, leaving the green eyes completely visible, but on its right shoulder was the hourglass symbol. It is to Gwen’s surprise that this creature was none other then Ben in one of his alien forms, Benmummy. Ben entered the bathroom; he looked around to see where Gwen is.

Benmummy: “Gwen, are you in here? Why aren’t you answering...”

He suddenly stopped asking questions when he noticed a young mature woman on the toilet seat with long flowing orange hair. Looking at this strange woman he never seen before, Ben freaked out and demanded questions.

Benmummy: “Who are you? What are doing in this RV? Where’s Gwen?!”

Gwen blinked a few times, completely shocked that he didn’t recognize her. Of course she knows that he didn’t notice her because she’s fully a grown and hardly had any resemblance of the Gwen Ben use to know. She then heard Grandpa’s voice, wondering what’s going on in the bathroom.

Grandpa Max: “Ben, what’s happening in there? Who do you see? Is that Gwen?”

Ben looked back at Max and told him who he saw.

Benmummy: “No Grandpa, is just some strange woman I never seen before. Don’t know who she is, but she’s intruding and I’m not going to let her stay!”

That’s when Gwen decided to bust in and told them who she is.

Adult Gwen: “Ben it’s me. Gwen!”

The alien mummy looked back the strange woman and was more confused then before.

Benmummy: “What? You’re not Gwen. I know her for a long time and you’re not her.”

Gwen shook her head and was now ticked off about this.

Adult Gwen: “Take a good look at me you dewfus! It is me!!”

Ben takes a good look at the woman to see if she’s telling the truth. After a quick observation, he noticed something that was familiar to him. For one thing, her hair was orange just like Gwen, but only a little longer then hers, not to mention the little blue clip that Gwen had on only it was past down her cheek. Another thing were her clothes. She had the same shirt with the kitty logo as Gwen but the sleeves were completely torn and the top of was ripped in the middle exposing her cleavage. Her pants were the same as Gwen’s but the bottom of the leggings were ripped apart exposing her shapely legs. She was hanging on to the very spell book Gwen always had for a while. And though she doesn’t sound like it, her attitude is the same as Gwen’s. After looking at all of the small details he missed, the mummy’s green eyes were wide and were in complete shock.

Benmummy: “G- Gwen?!?!”

Gwen cocked and eyebrow and rolled her eyes around.

Adult Gwen: “Duh... That’s what I was trying to say.”

Suddenly, their grandfather poked his head out to see what Ben was seeing.

Grandpa Max: “Let me see Ben. Is Gwen in there?”

Ben looked at his grandpa and wasn’t sure if he wants to tell him what he witnessed or keeps his mouth shut.

Benmummy: “Um... Yeah, about that... Well I got some good news and bad news. Good news is that I found Gwen. The bad news is...”

He turned his head to pointed to the now adult Gwen.

Benmummy: “This woman is Gwen!”

Max turned his head to see this woman and notice she was wearing the same clothes as Gwen; only they were too small and ripped in areas. Not to mention the book she was hanging on to. Looking at this woman Max found out who she is and asked her the question.

Grandpa Max: “Gwen? Is that you?”

The woman nodded her head up and down for a yes. That’s when both Ben and Max had their mouths agape and were speechless for the moment.

Grandpa Max: “Oh my god... Gwen, what happened to you?”

Gwen lowered her head and deeply sighed to herself, hoping they are ready for what she would say.

Adult Gwen: “It’s a long story.”

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

After the sudden shock, Gwen, her cousin, and her grandfather sat at the kitchen table and told them what happened to her for the past hour or so. For about five to ten minutes of explaining everything to them, both Grandpa Max and Ben, who was now in human form, finally understood what happened to Gwen.

Grandpa Max: “So let me get this straight. You were conducting a spell to amplify your powers. You set ingredients up from my fridge and chanted the spell to complete it. And when you drink to potion, you completely passed out and when you woke up you’ve grown into a woman?”

Gwen nodded her head for a yes and explained it further.

Adult Gwen: “Yes... But to tell you the truth, I don’t know how it happened. When I read about the spell on my book, I thought it was going to make my powers grow strong. I didn’t expect this spell to make me grow up instantly. This is terrible.”

Ben listened in on the whole thing and couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Even after last night, Gwen looked through her spell book and cast the one spell she did. And looking at the results, he couldn’t believe that she went from a dorky, annoying cousin to a hot mature babe. So he decided to ignore what occurred and joke about it.

Ben: “Well Gwen, look on the bright side. At least you won’t have to worry about waiting for college. Being that you are pretty smart.”

Gwen turned her head to see her cousin and gave him a completely scornful look.

Adult Gwen: “Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea what this mean? What would happen when summer vacation ends? Do you ever think about that?”

Ben had an odd look on his face and didn’t know what she was trying to say.

Ben: “Uh...”

Max looked at his grandson and tried to give him an explanation.

Grandpa Max: “I’m afraid Gwen’s right Ben. This isn’t no laughing matter. You could imagine what would happen when we get back home. Her family and friends won’t recognize who she is, she couldn’t go to school anymore, not to mention she has to get job yet she has no experience. What do you think she’s going to do when this vacation over?”

Ben turned to listen to his grandfather and now understood what he meant. He then lowered his head shook it, realizing that what he said was completely wrong. He then look up at Gwen and apologized to her.

Ben: “Sorry Gwen. Didn’t really mean to hurt her feelings.”

That’s when Max looked at Gwen and wondered something else.

Grandpa Max: “Exactly how long will this last, if it’s not permanent?”

Adult Gwen: “I don’t know really. I didn’t come to fact that this was temporary or not. But if it isn’t, I’ll try to find a spell to reverse it.”

Max folded arms and ponders this for a moment.

Grandpa Max: “This is very complicated. Well until you could find a way to reverse, we should keep this discrete. And since you’re a little too old to be a cousin, I guess you could be Ben’s older sister for a while.”

Immediately, both Ben and Gwen got up looking at their grandfather and shouted out loud, “WHAT!?!” Ben was a hundred percent upset about this idea.

Ben: “No way! I’m not going to pretend that Gwen’s my sister. That’s a whole lot worse then a cousin.”

Gwen, on the other hand, looked at Ben with a raised eyebrow and smiled very wickedly.

Adult Gwen: “What’s the matter Benjamin? You don’t like to be with your big sister?”

The boy looked back at the older girl and was now completely annoyed by what she asked.

Ben: “Okay, now you’re made it worse.”

Grandpa Max: “I’m sorry Ben. But we have to play it out until Gwen goes back to normal. Another thing we have to do is to find Gwen new clothes.”

Gwen turned back to her grandfather and had a questionable look on her face.

Adult Gwen: “What’s wrong with my clothes? I feel completely comfortable with my clothes.”

Suddenly the back of her shirt ripped downward to the middle and expose most of her back. Gwen blushed at the sudden rip as Max rolled his eyes around and sighed.

Grandpa Max: “I rest my case. You know, I saw a mall not far from here; we should go there to get you some new clothes. In the mean time, I could lend you one of your grandmother’s clothes until we get there.”

Max got up and headed to his bedroom to find his wife’s clothes. Meanwhile, Gwen slumped with elbows on the table and was now more embarrassed then ever.

Adult Gwen: “My life is so over...”

Ben looked at the now adult cousin and couldn’t help but to feel completely awe struck by how grown up she is. That’s when he blurted out something he would regret in the near future.

Ben: “Well, at least on the plus side you are completely hot.”

To that end, Gwen looked up at her cousin with a disgusted look and immediately slapped him right in the face.

Ben: “Ow...”
