Standing behind her podium, Lily was ceaselessly bombarded with camera flashes, but the pale white hippo persevered through her speech, her ruby eyes periodically scanning her notes. "Our city's future," Lily declared into the microphone, her dulcet, motherly voice ringing through City Hall, "and by extension our country's, doesn't depend on how many banks or offices or factories we have. It depends on the quality of our schools, which is why I'll be giving more funding towards education to better our children for a better future." With heartwarming smile, the hippo chirped, "Thank you." The auditorium spontaneously erupted in applause. Lily's chest pounded, and her cheeks tingled. All that practicing in the mirror really paid off, she thought. "I'll now be open for questions."

At least fifty men and women in expensive suits simultaneously stood from their seats and flocked to the microphone stands in front of the stage. The first in line was a tall, lanky raccoon with a striped collared shirt. "Jaime Sanders, Green Street Press. Mayor Hancock, there've been rumors that you've wanted to run for governor in the near future. Can you confirm these claims?"

"In a perfect world, yes, I'd like run for governor this coming election. But there's still so much I can do for this city. For now, my place is here. Next question?"

The line shifted like a rusty machine, and Lily took the time to adjust her flower broach on her suit jacket. Stepping towards the microphone was a stout pig dressed in a black and white striped blouse and a pencil skirt. "Marissa Brown, The Globe. On the subject of elections, are you planning on serving another term as mayor, and if so, what are some of your policies that you plan on implementing."

Without hesitation, Lily responded, "I love this city, and it would be my honor to serve as mayor again. As for my policies, I can't reveal anything specific, unfortunately, but I think it's about time we do something about healthcare in this city, don't you all agree?" Eager applause roared from the seats. "Thank you for your question."

"Thank you, Mayor," the pig replied before returning to her seat. An older, statuesque Border Collie stepped forward with a stoic face and a militaristic posture. She was clad in a blue velvet conservative dress. Oh boy, Lily thought, shuddering at her mere appearance.

"Mayor Hancock," the Collie began, her voice more frigid than Lily imagined it to be, "do you think it's appropriate to reward the Great Gazelle with the Key to the City tomorrow evening when crime rate is at an all-time high?"

Lily tried not to slouch. It was times like these, when under intense pressure, that she wished she could disappear into nothing, escape from her problems. "The Great Gazelle has done superlative service for Freedom City, well above the call of duty. While the crime rate has gone up, his efforts have saved our city countless times. He should at least be rewarded for that, I think."

"But what about our police force? Shouldn't they get recognition for their service? My husband has been on the force for 40 years, and he's never received a commendation like that."

Lily's heart thumped relentlessly, and her mouth started to crackle and dry. "No one appreciates the police force more than I. I-It's not a competition... about who can keep the city safer. It's about... showing our gratitude to someone who goes out of his way to fight for justice."

"But don't you think he's overstepping his bounds?" The Collie's eyes felt like needles on Lily's skin. "His giant vigilante escapades have been costing the city millions of dollars in roadwork, infrastructural repair, and insurance compensation. Personally, I think it's disgusting that you're indulging his destructive behaviors by paying with taxpayer money."

Lily clenched her fist. She was about ready to rip the buttons off of the Collie's dress and shove them down her throat. Lily leans over her podium, gripping as if it were the Collie's neck. "Ma'am, the Great Gazelle works hard to keep our city safe. Our police force have the best and brightest folks at their command, but sometimes, things can get out of their hands, and I'll take whatever help I can get to keep my citizens safe and sound. You may not think he deserves the Key to the City, and that's fine. But at the very least, he deserves your respect." Lily's shimmering red eyes peered into the woman's cold ones. The gentle murmur that pervaded the hall could no longer be heard. Absolute stillness took its place. The Collie broke her gaze before storming to her seat. Lily huffed and readjusted her broach. "Next question, please."

* * * * *

Lily strolled through the kitchen of her apartment, brushing her teeth. Her belly button peeked out from her baggy T-shirt, and her pink panties were wedged between her pillowy cheeks. Her thick thighs and cantaloupe breasts jiggled with even the daintiest of steps. As she passed the kitchen counter and entered the carpeted living room, she saw the glass table in front of her reflect the image of a newscast on TV.

"And in breaking news," the TV reporter declared, "the Great Gazelle captured the Black Adder Gang and their leader, Toxin, by picking up their getaway vehicle in one hand and delivering them to the nearest police station." The pudgy hippo galloped to her green leather couch and plopped her rear on the cushion, her eyes glued to the screen and her brush still wedged inside her mouth. "I'm here with the hero now," the stag reporter stated, standing next to a bulging tree-trunk of a calf in white spandex. The report only came up to the length of Gazelle's black boot. Unbeknownst to Lily, her jaw slowly opened and did not notice until her toothbrush dropped to the floor. She left it there. The stag craned his head upwards. "Mr. Gazelle, how hard was it to nab these crooks?"

The camera panned past his sturdy legs, his tightly packed abs, and his robust demi-god chest and focused on his chiseled chin, celebrity grin, and mysterious black eye mask. He was as tall as the apartment complexes that surrounded him. "Oh my god..." Lily sighed breathily with a hand on her drumming heart.

"No trouble at all," the giant hero replied. "Once you grow to a certain height, you can cover a lot of ground and lift anything. Even a car."

"I see that," said the stag. "Well, you left quite a few potholes in the streets from the chase. Have anything to say about those?"

Gazelle chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Oh. Those. I'm really sorry about that. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll definitely lend a helping hand."

He's even cute when he's flustered, Lily thought as she closed her thighs together.

"That's generous of you," the reporter complimented. "Anything else you'd like to add?"

"Absolutely. Just want all of Freedom City to know..." The hero stared directly into the camera. Lily's heart almost leapt out of her chest staring into his hazel eyes. "...that as long as I can stand on my own two feet and fight for what's right, you'll be safe from anything."

"Thank you, Mr. Gazelle." The camera zoomed back on the reporter. "Back to you, Tom."

The lady hippo sat deathly still with her inner thighs hot and tense and toothpaste drool dripping down her chin. It took her a minute or two to reel in her idle mind and wipe off her face in the bathroom. After, she flicked off the light and wandered toward her bedside. On top of her dresser was her favorite gift, a Great Gazelle plushie with ridiculous muscles stuffed with wool. She scooped it up from under its armpits and looked into its big plastic eyes. "Why'd that woman hate you so much, Zelly?" Lily asked the toy. "A lot of people think you do more damage than good. I don't. I think you're the best thing that happened to my city." As expected, the toy had nothing to say. Lily shrugged. "Oh, well. Can't change what people think, right? Even if they are... ninny-headed jerks." She planted a smooch on the tip of its snout and returned it to its seat on the dresser. "Night, Zelly."

The bubbly, bounding hippo stumbled to her bed and collapsed on top of her heavenly mattress. Face down on the bed, she claps twice, and her bedside lamp flicks off. After rubbing her cheeks on the red wool blanket, she envelops herself in it like a burrito and lays her head on her pile of feather pillows. Her eyelashes flutter, and her gem-like eyes glaze over. She hugged one of her pillows, imagining it was the Great Gazelle's sculpted arm. In her mind's eye, there was only the inky blackness and her favorite hero. Memories flashed in front of her. His white, shining smile, his uncontestable physique, the sound his costume makes as it stretches with his growth, the low chuckle he makes when he presents his pecs and flexes his bicep... All of these images lulled Lily to a slumber.

* * * * *

The frigid night air crept into her room from the old window, and her wool blanket was thrown to the floor in her midnight tossing and turning. Curled into a ball, she horded what little warmth she had. Too cold to move, too tired to search.

Still fetal, she felt the fleecy wool pull over her and swath her body. The hippo smiled and sunk back into the mattress, relaxing. Warm... she thought at a snail's pace. Nice... Warm... Another ten or so seconds passed before she thought about how the blanket returned to her bed. Wait! Who?! Her eyelids twitched and revealed her red eyes again. A tall, burly silhouette stood at the edge of her bed. Lily sprung from her covers and shrieked. "Get out of here!! Now!!" she screamed, reaching for her can of Mace on her drawer.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Shhh... It's okay," the shadow said.

Lily froze. That voice... It can't... She faced the obscured intruder. She clapped twice. Light flooded the room, and standing in front of her was the Great Gazelle with muscles packed with girth and his antlers nearly brushing the ceiling.

The superhero saluted. "Mayor."

The hippo balled up again, ready to explode with a scream of delight, but with her mouth against the covers, her elation was nothing more than an excited muffle. The hero chuckled as if rehearsed to follow her reaction.

"I'm going loopy," Lily hyperventilated. "You shouldn't be here."

"Believe it, ma'am," Gazelle replied, his arms open in a presenting manner.

"No, I mean, you _really_shouldn't be here. Legally."

"Oh. I--"

"This is a lot for me." The hippo had barely any air in her lungs. "Please go. I can't..."

"Alright, ma'am. I'll see you tomorrow, I guess," Gazelle responded dejectedly. He turned to the window and started to unhinge it.

"N-no, wait!" Lily cried. "Stay! I mean!" She covered her hot, blushing face with her palms, and the Great Gazelle stepped away from the window. "H-how'd you even get up here?"

"It wasn't easy. Well, maybe a little. Fourteen stories aren't as hard to climb as they used to be."

"You climbed?" Lily sat forward, her vision slowly adjusting to the light. "But... why?"

"I wanted to thank you personally. For standing up for me today." His ingenuousness of his deep voice filled the room with warmth.

Lily obscured her blushing cheeks with her blanket. "You... saw that?"

"Of course. I try to catch all of your important meetings and conferences."

Lily was burning up. Her heart was in her throat. "A-are you really the Great Gazelle?"

"I think so," he chuckled. "What else would I be?"

"A supervillain disguised as the Great Gazelle?"

The hero grinned and raised his brow. "Fair. Well, do you know any supervillains who can do this?" The hero bent both of his girder-esque arms, and with a guttural moan, he began to shake. Lily watched attentively with round eyes and an open jaw as the stud stretched towards the ceiling, his biceps filling and his pecs pushing forward. She watched the flexible fibers of his suit compensate for his added size and heard it tighten across his chest and brick-wall abs. Within only a few seconds, his head bumped the ceiling, and the hero simply laughed. "Proof enough?"

Lily nodded, her thighs rigid, quivering.

"Good." He strides toward her bedside, his countless tons of muscle creaking the floorboards beneath the carpet. "Because I want to give you a gift."

"A gift?" she peeped like a girl on Christmas morning. Gazelle loomed over her, and she could not resist smirking as she scanned up his prominent six-pack and meat slab of a chest. "Is this a bribe? Because you know, I'm a good girl who doesn't solicit bribes."

"No no, Miss Hancock," he replied in his usual jovial, rumbly tone, slowly leaning forward. Lily's heart pounded with uncontrollable, irregular rhythm. "This is for all the times you've vouched for me."

Lily received his lips, and she brushed his cheek, which made her already petite hand look even more minuscule in comparison. Gazelle pushed forward, and Lily pushed back in a passionate tug-of-war. Her squeaks and moans muffled in his mouth. She felt a damp spot already forming on her pink panties. In her lust, she sucked on his lip, and Gazelle let out another chuckle, Lily's favorite sound. A voice inside her demanded that she pounce, but she resisted. Even if she wanted to, the rest of her body was stiff in disbelief. Instead, Lily unleashed several years worth of pent-up kisses she always wanted to give to hero onto his lips.

Then as if she had swallowed a shot of rum, a sudden stream of warmth ran down her neck to her chest and spread to every inch of her body, prickling her skin. As the tingling intensified, her legs stretched towards the edge of the bed, and even though she did not adjust her posture, she felt like she was slowly sitting up and rising. The hippo was too preoccupied with her fantasies coming true to notice her underwear digging into her thigh and her shirt tightening against her ample bust. The more she ravaged Gazelle's lips, the more the bedframe creaked and the more formfitting her clothes became. Her panties were soaked from her steamy womanhood, ready to receive her hero, but before she could make her move, something else caught her attention: her tiny toes poking out of the edge of the bed, exposed to the cold.

"Huh?" Staring at her toes, she witnessed them push forward along with her ankle and soon part of her leg. Lily yelped. "W-what am I doing?! What's going on?!"

"It's my gift," Gazelle responded calmly. Her panties became a thong that dug into the tenderest parts of Lily's feminine lips. Her top became a belly shirt with the fabric rubbing across her stiff, throbbing nipples.

"Nnnn! Jeepers! Am I... growing? Did you do this?!"

"Yes, ma'am," Gazelle said with a mischievous grin.

She wrapped her arms around the back of his head, her breasts snuggled beneath his chin. "S-stop it! Stop it, please!"

"You don't like it?"

"I-I mean, I-I do... B-but my apartment!"

"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine. I promise." With the Great Gazelle cupping her cheek, Lily could not muster the brainpower to retort. "It feels good, yeah?"

"Mhmmm..." she whimpered, her eyes gazing the same hazel eyes that were on the TV. "It feels..." She gasped. "...amazing."

"Good. Focus on that. Only that. Let it fill to the brim until you don't have any more room to contain it. Can you do that for me?"

Lily nodded, barely able to speak from the jolts of pleasure between her legs and the numbing shiver that consumed her body.

"Good." The two pressed their foreheads against each other. Lily parted her lips, hungry for his again. "Grow for me, Lily. Just keep growing." They tasted each other's lips again, and Lily could not wait to slip her tongue into her partner's mouth. She giggled and sighed as the tingling augmented from a subtle tickle to goosebump-raising full-body caress. Heat emanated from every pore of her skin. The bed groaned even louder than before, and Lily felt like she was riding an express elevator up. Lily's swelling melons pressed beneath Gazelle's chin, and her ass sank deeper and deeper into the mattress. Her legs and a portion of her juicy thighs stretched over the edge of the bed, her touching nearly touching the floor. As her bare back grazed up against the icy cold wall, Lily recoiled and shot up another 6 inches, clinging to the back of Gazelle's neck and smothering him in her soft, billowing bust. Gazelle hummed in approval.

The growing hippo opened her eyes and gasped at the new perspective revealed before her. Even while sitting, she towered over her bookcases and shelves, looking down at everything as her room became smaller and smaller. Gazelle had to break his lips away with Lily's mouth now out of reach. The hero and the hippo were eye-to-eye. "Jeez! I'm growing! I'm really growing!"

"Yes, you are. But you could grow a lot more." Gazelle's eyes were fixated on the plentiful underboob squished together from her too-small top. He lifted her T-shirt, an easy task, and sampled her exposed nipple.

Lily grabbed either side of his head as if she was going to crush it. "Mmmmn! Ahhh!" Lust flowed through every inch of her body like a circuit. Her hot sex pulsed as if he was already down there. Lily was blossoming so fast that the superhero was forced to crane his neck up and stand to his full height to keep suckling on the hippo's tit. After a few more seconds, Lily bumped the back of her neck on the ceiling, her chubby legs thick as trees reaching to the other side of the room. The metal bedframe was bent beyond repair and continued to strain with every second of Lily's growth. "Wowza! I'm bigger than you!" she exclaimed, wedged between the wall and the ceiling. "Bigger than the Great Gazelle..." The legs of her bed snapped, and the 14-foot hippo crashed onto her rump, shaking her bedside lamp and all of her furniture with her impact. With more room to grow granted to her, she filled the rest of the remaining space with her luscious pillows, her delectable fat cheeks, her tempting, heavy thighs. Fifteen feet to 16 feet to 18 feet she grew, moaning and writhing as the Great Gazelle sucked on the nipple that eventually filled his mouth. "Mmmmm... Don't stop. Don't stop..." Gazelle threw off one of his gloves and ventured his hand between Lily's plump legs, where her panties were nothing more than floss now. The hero traced his fingers up her lips, and she inhaled sharply, shooting up a full foot. The wall pressed against her back moaned in protest. "Mr. Gazelle," she uttered breathily, "you're so handsy. What would the presses say about us?"

"What, do you plan on telling anyone?" He gazed up at the cramped giantess.

Lily winked. "I won't if you won't."

And without a moment's hesitation, Gazelle slipped his two fingers into her wet, burning pussy. The hippo squeaked, and more of her soft, full figure filled the room. She hunched forward, trapped between the narrow roof and the confining walls. But the only thing she cared about at the moment was Gazelle's curious fingers inside her. Expanding in every direction, her cheek pressed against the opposite wall, and her titanic ass was bending the other wall until it was concave. She laid on her hands and knees at around 30 feet with the formerly statuesque superhero now like a stuffed animal between her thighs. The floorboards whimpered, buckling under her as if a mattress.

"M-Mr. Gazelle," Lily peeped, "I-I-I don't think th-there's any room left f-for me."

"Don't worry," he said, his whole hand passing through her delicate flower. "Big, beautiful girls always get more room."

"W-what's that supposed to--Ahh!" With a clamor of shattering wood, Lily fell through the floor to the room below. Her 2-ton posterior demolished the bed beneath her. Her enormous car-size funbags rested on the floor of her own apartment while her lower half occupied her neighbor's. The unfortunate tenant, an old, scruffy Scottish terrier, babbled and panicked as he cleared out of the room. Lily continued to overload the two bedrooms with her plushy mass, her chest pinching and squeezing through the hole in the floor, breaking apart the wooden planks from the sheer force of her growth.

"M-my room," she stammered. The 60-foot hippo searched for the Great Gazelle between her thighs. "Y-y-you said it'd be fine!" As she waited for his response, Lily's head inched toward the ceiling again. Her backside bulldozed the wall behind her, giving her more room to expand, but only for a few measly moments. Still no response from her hero. Her swelling form consumed every inch of space the two rooms had to give, her ballooning breasts only a foot from the window and her legs curled and held close, and it still was not enough for her. She squealed as the remnants of her floor finally gave way, fusing the two apartments together. She collapsed to her hands and knees. Her uncontainable tits cushioned her fall. "M-Mr. Gazelle, please! There isn't anymore room!" she cried as her increasing size crammed her against the ceiling and the walls around her. Pleasure unceasingly pumped from her overworked womanhood, making every second a light-headed ecstasy, despite her predicament. The floor buckled and whined once more. "No, no! Not again!" The 80-foot hippo burst through and demolished the next floor after that. As adrenaline circulated through her ever-growing form, her expansion and nonstop lust only intensified. The curvaceous giantess spanned four whole stories then five and six once she crashed into more bedrooms. "Mr. Gazelle!!" The hero was silent. "Mr. Gazelle, please!!" No matter how many floors she spanned, Lily was still trapped within the walls of the complex, forced against the brick partitions, scaling higher and higher. Breathing became a labored task as her nipples puckered and pulsed and her hot pussy pounded. Once again, the floor crumbled below her, only this time, her leg cannoned through one of the walls and broke free. A mighty rumble shook the building to its foundations, and brick by brick the façade started to collapse, crumbling like a fragile toy. Countless tons of debris plummeted down on the hippo, pinning her to the ground. "MR. GAZELLE!!"

A ten-story dust cloud swallowed the block. Hundreds of lights flicked on at once with neighbors rising from their beds and running to their windows to investigate the earth-shaking catastrophe outside. Many watched dumbfounded with hanging jaws. Only the cacophony of car alarms broke the midnight silence.

And in the stillness, the rocks form the wreckage clattered and shifted, some rolling down the slope that formed. The citizens watched, tense and uneasy. From the mountain of rubble burst forth the titanic hippo, gasping for breath. She shuffled through the ruins and stood at her full height, 200 feet from head to toe and completely nude. Her cheeks turning cherry red, Lily covered her naughty bits with one hand and hugged her bountiful chest, her flesh spilling over her forearm. "Oh no, oh no. What have I done?" Daintily removing her feet, the giant hippo tiptoed onto the street. The streetlamps vibrated with her tremendous steps. She scanned the pile, her sullen eyes darting back and forth. "Mr. Gazelle?" she whimpered. "Are you okay? Mr. Gazelle?" Her ears flicked, catching a board shift between her two tremendous legs. The wooden remains were lifted up, revealing the Great Gazelle. Lily sighed. Gazelle tossed the scrap and climbed out of his crevice. He dusted off his suit as if he had merely tripped and fell and stood with his hands on his hips and a dopey, proud grin on his face.

"Miss Mayor," he proclaimed. "You're more gorgeous than ever."

"No! Look what I've done!" Lily gestured toward what remained of her old complex. "I'm a monster." Tears welled in her eyes as she shamed herself.

"No, no! Not at all."

"I am!" She turned away from the wreckage, the sting in her stomach flaring as she looked at it. "All those people, my neighbors. Dead! All because of me! I'm so... so..."

"Miss Hancock," Gazelle shouted above to the giantess as he ran into the street. "Miss Hancock, please turn around."

"N-no! I can't!" Lily squatted and balled up. A river of tears running down her cheek, she prayed she would just vanish, relinquish the city of their new burden.

"Miss Hancock, you have a hero's promise. Everything's okay. Look."

Her body fought against her, stiff as a board, but Lily was able to strain her neck until her chin brushed her shoulder. Reluctantly, she opened her eyes.

Her skin rippled with goosebumps. To her astonishment, she was face-to-face with her apartment complex with not a brick out of place. "Wh-wh-what? H-how?!" The hippo stood up and gently caressed the rooftop as she would a long-lost pet. "How did...? I'm going cuckoo."

"One of my many secret powers," the Great Gazelle chuckled.

"You are just full of surprises, Mister."

"Yes, I am. Mmmmm..." The superhero closed his eyes, and his entire muscular frame shuddered aggressively. Lily smiled like a puppy ready to burst with glee. Gazelle exploded with enormity in a matter of seconds, causing Lily to stumble back and accidently crush a parked car. The pristine white spandex stretched over his broadening shoulders, his swelling pecks, his burgeoning biceps. The sound of the thin fibers straining was like music to Lily. With a triumphant smile plastered on his mug, Gazelle raised his arms to the sky and eclipsed the hippo at 250 feet of pure bulky manhood.

"Oh my gosh," the hippo fangirl whispered, her cheeks flushed.

His cocky grin widened. "You like?"

"Oh, yes! Mama like." The full-figured giantess cupped a handful of Gazelle's crotch and massaged his package, feeling it stiffen and push against her palm. His deep, guttural groan reverberated through every street and alley within 20 blocks. Lily smirked. "I wanna see it. Your legendary cock."

Without wasting a second, Gazelle slipped his hand into his suit. Lily licked her lips as she watched him pry out a monster shaft that reached his stomach, twitching, anxious, ready whatever comes next.

"Not bad," she commented, running her hand up his length. Gazelle stood rigid and militaristic, trying not to react to her touch, but not even the Great Gazelle could hide his lust.

"If you think that's big, check this out!" Sticking a thumb in his mouth, he puffed his cheeks and blew. Before Lily's eyes, Gazelle's meat ballooned with girth and inflated longer and longer, pushing past his abs and reaching towards his chest. Within seconds, his sausage became a bloated log, engorged and tickling his chest.

"Now you're just showing off," she giggled before leaning to kiss his pulsing tip. He could not contain his shivering with her warm, bounteous breasts enveloping his member. Lily held the reins to this godly beast, and she planned to make good use of him. "You want me, don't you?" she asked breathily, grinding her bust against him.

"Y-yes..."

"Show me." Lily turned, leaned on the roof of her complex, and bend forward to present her titanic ass to the Great Gazelle. Subtly gyrating her hips, her plentiful, fat cheeks grinded against his mammoth cock. The giant tensed, all the air escaping his lungs, but he was still able to thrust his meat between her unfathomable buns, shaking from the warmth of her skin and the tingling of his shaft. "You gonna keep Mama waiting, hmmm?" asked the hippo coyly.

"You're not... Nnnng... m-making it e-easy..."

"Oh, poor widdle Gazelle. Too horny too move." She giggled at her own joke. "Just take me, big man." Gazelle trembled as his cock slide up her warm, wet lips. "I'm sooooo hot..." A thrust, and another full-body tremor from Gazelle. "...and bothered..." He groaned, his tip vibrating out of control. "...I might just burst." The hero grabbed Lily's waist in his quivering grasp. He wrapped his hand around his shaft, the circumference too wide for even his vast palm. "Give it to me," she commanded with a breathy whisper.

With a hefty groan, Gazelle thrusted and slid his tip past her feminine lips. Gazelle exhaled and bared his teeth as he gingerly pushed deeper, and Lily sighed sweetly, her pussy contracting as she tense her thighs, giving the hero more resistance to fit his massive cock. The two giants stiffened, basking in the ensuing mind-numbing ecstasy. Lily managed to peer over her shoulder and lock eyes with her man and say, "Fuck me." Gazelle obeyed with an overconfident smirk, forcing his meaty manhood inside her. Lily squeaked, and before she could regain her breath, Gazelle thrusted again and again, creating a rhythm that delivered pure, hot pleasure through every cell of her body. Along with the adrenaline-pumping passion, Lily could feel a familiar tingle that convulsed through her spine. "Y-yeeeesss..." she sighed as she started to grow, first 220 feet then 250. Gazelle expanded with the hippo, tempted as he was to let her grow alone and let her monumental ass cheeks swallow his junk whole. At 300 feet, Lily's hands burst through the roof of the complex, and she toppled over the building crumbled under her weight again, laughing like a schoolgirl the while.

"A-are you okay?" Gazelle asked with genuine concern in his voice.

Now on her hands and knees on the ruins of her apartment and with the giant superhero still inside her, she nodded with a smile. "Keep going at it, big boy."

Gazelle nodded profusely, and Lily snickered at his college boy nervousness. But after another deep plunge into her womanhood, her giggling was silenced, gasping instead. Gazelle bared his teeth and pressed himself against her voluptuous ass, and the ominous but welcomed tingle reverberated through both their bodies. Shaking nonstop, Lily felt like she was holding back a waterfall, and she let the floodgates open. With a breathy coo, Lily blossomed 50 feet in size and another 50 feet before she could take another breath. Her hungry pussy swallowed all of Gazelle's girth faster than he could provide. The 500-foot hippo shoved him against a building, cratering the brick façade, her round, swelling rear pinning him.

"Too much for you to handle?" giggled Lily, now more than twice the hero's size and still rumbling with growth.

Gazelle merely chuckled with a sly grin, vibrating with a surge of power. He exploded upwards, a hundred feet per second, with the sound of straining spandex becoming louder and louder. Lily gasped as all available space inside her was filled by his engorged manhood. At 700 feet, Gazelle patted her plentiful ass cheek, her soft, pale flesh jiggling at the slightest touch. "I can handle anything you throw at me," he answered proudly, wrapping his hands around her plump waist.

"Is that a challenge, Mr. Gazelle?" The gigantic chubby hippo grinded against the hero, causing them both to shiver.

Gazelle groaned, curling his lip. "Only if you want to lose."

"Mmmm... Let's do it then." With a lunge forward and a slam against Gazelle's pelvis, Lily sheathed the bovid's entire cock past her feminine lips. The hippo squeaked involuntarily, and Gazelle was left speechless. The two soaked in the warm glow of ecstasy, panting, eyes closed, waiting for the other to make the next move. Then, Lily felt him pull out of her hot sex. She held her breath, waiting for what was coming next. With a gentle push, Gazelle's mighty member slid into her pussy. Lily's legs trembled, already feeling the heat and the tingle reignite inside her and spread across every inch of her skin. The next thrust was stronger than the last and reached deeper inside her. Lily muffled her squeal, shuddering uncontrollably, feeling the lust overflow her. Gazelle thrusted once more, and the hippo boomed 60 feet at once, and she could feel the next spurt build up inside her. Another thrust, and another 60 feet and another after that. Lily's breasts, now bloated, immense, and uncontainable, sloshed atop the rubble below, her nipples throbbing as they rubbed against the earth. Despite her ever-growing size, Gazelle increased the speed of his forceful pushes, fueling his lover with euphoric massiveness. The hippo arched her back and moaned and soon eclipsed the Great Gazelle at over 900 feet of immense voluptuousness. Their grunts and sighs and unapologetic slapping echoed for 30 blocks and only became louder as they continued. Curious citizens in the pajamas ambled out of their apartments and were soon dumbfounded as they discovered the titans in the middle of their courtship. Lily's face pressed against a wide glass window of an office complex, but the building was quickly demolished in a voluminous cloud of beige by the sheer force of the hippo's growth. Gazelle gritted his teeth, growing to accommodate for Lily's sudden enormity, and in the process, he destroyed the building he was pressed against. Lily was colossal, towering above every skyscraper in sight, despite being on her hands and knees, her breasts like wrecking balls plowing over countless structures at a time. Gazelle continued to pump her regardless. His libido refused to let him stop.

Then without warning, the 2,200-foot growing goddess sat up, heaving her titanic, 200-ton tits. Her gargantuan shapely rear crashed to the street below and trapped the Great Gazelle under all of her weight. The muscle-bound bovid, groaning and grinning, raced to outgrow her fat, bountiful cheeks, still ramming his shaft deep into her vast womanhood and slapping his pelvis against her curves. Lily arched her back and raised her arms above her head, drowning in pleasure as she ascended to 3,000 feet then 3,200 a second later. Her all-encompassing thighs and ass bulldozed block after block with little resistance. She slammed her ample lower half onto the Great Gazelle with earth-shattering force, desperate for his cock. With all but his head consumed by Lily's divine girth, Gazelle merely smiled.

The 4,400-foot hippo shivered, her coos traveling for miles. With a warm, indescribable pressure building in her abdomen, Lily's riding became more violent, her ass depressing the earth beneath her. She panted, exhausted but not yet satisfied. She caressed her immense nipples, her tit flesh spilling out of her tiny hands. Her hot clit pounding, Lily whimpered the words, "I'm c-cumming! I'm cumming," and soon after seized and cried out with a high-pitched squeal. Gazelle disappeared under her expanding ass, as did a great deal of the city as her growth surged exponentially. As she grew hundreds and hundreds of feet per second, Lily's mind was blank. Each heart-stopping throb of her womanhood made cognitive thought impossible. She fingered her clit and thumbed her nipple as bigger and bigger she swelled, 36,000 feet to 42,000 and 48,000. Her squirting juices were a mighty tidal wave that roared and crashed through the city. More than half of Freedom City fell prey to her ever-growing derriere, and more vanished under her soft, destructive rear with each passing second. It was the orgasm with seemingly no end, and Lily was a willing slave to it, rubbing away at her leaking flower, crying to the heavens until she was lightheaded, letting her body balloon to unimaginable magnitude.

When the fogginess finally cleared from her mind, Lily awoke, blinking with rapid-fire speed. She darted her eyes to the world below, and her heart nearly leaped out of her chest. The few remaining skyscrapers between her legs were nothing more than little grey bumps. The highways leading to the city were but ant trails. She scanned the lush green landscape and shrieked with glee when she saw that she dwarfed the snow-tipped mountains, even while on sitting. "Sweet gravy! Would you look at me! I'm the biggest... thing on Earth! Look at me! So biiiiiiiig," she cooed, gyrating her hips in celebration, her tits swinging back and forth. "And look at these! My little sweater puppies!" Overjoyed, the hippo groped her incomprehensible rack, sighing as a pulse shot from her tits to her inner thigh. Her smile grew as she kneaded them like dough and shook them. "I'm so fucking sexy," she murmured, cradling her bust to her chin and snuggling them against her cheek.

"You sure are," echoed a meager voice. "I'd say you're about 19, 20 miles? Rough estimate." Lily's eyes locked onto its origin between her legs, none other than the Great Gazelle, now only a fraction of the hippo's size, a small dog compared to her. He waved with a nervous grin. "Sorry about your city, Miss Mayor."

"Are you kidding?!" she shrilled, leaning forward, nearly knocking over Gazelle with the swing of her mountainous breasts. "This is the greatest thing that ever happened to me!" Scooping up handfuls of plush tit flesh, she fondled herself and watched the hero's face glow red and his solid member twinge. "I'm sooooo sexy! So huge! All because of you!" The gargantuan hippo fell on all fours, her mere melons thundering the Earth below and causing Gazelle to stumble. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She bent forward and smooched the tiny hero, her lips wrapping around his entire head. The resulting smack could have been heard in the next county over.

Gazelle laughed. "Glad you warmed up to it. How do you feel?"

Lily searched for the words. "I feel... spectacular! Super powerful! Like I can take on the world! And..." She paused. Her eyes wandered in thought.

"And...?" the Great Gazelle egged.

"And I want more!"

"More?!" The color drained from Gazelle's face.

"Yes, sir!" With her cheeks rested on her palms and her head propped up by her elbows, Lily beckoned him with her sultry ruby eyes. "Think you can do that for me, Lil' Zelley?"

"M-me? I-I-I don't think I can. I'm out of juice. S-sorry."

"Oh, come on! You're the Great Gazelle! You're telling me you can't work a little more of your magic for little ol' me? Besides..." Lily caressed Gazelle's overinflated shaft and caused him to shiver. "You're still hard. I hafta pay you back for making me this big." After giving his tip a kiss, she sat up, eclipsing the moonlight and casting the landscape in shadow. "So let's go! Boost yourself all beefy and big, and we'll go for Round 2!"

"I wish I could, but I really can't. This is the biggest I've ever grown," he stated as he presented his form. "I wish I could help. Truly."

The hippo hummed and pondered, her eyes looking every which way. She gasped meekly when her ceaseless womanhood distracted her. No matter how industriously her mind worked, she could not stop imagining the taste and feel of Gazelle's lips, the lips for which she always craved, or stop peeking at his exposed monster cock still pulsing at the sight of her. Soon, his lips and his meat were the only two things about which she could think. Then, she perked, an idea suddenly striking her.

"Maybe I can help you," she chimed with a widening prankster smile. Gazelle was shrouded in shadow as the giant hippo leaned over him, giggling. The hero watched, frozen, positive she would not harm him but terrified of what she was capable of at this size. Lily tenderly scooped him up, as one would with a kitten. Gazelle complied, albeit stiff as a plank, the soles of his feet tingling as he watched the ground grow farther and farther away. The wind whooshed past his face, and he was soon able gaze at the majesty of mountains at eye-level. Spellbound, he stared at the natural beauty of the world from his current height, and he smiled. As he turned to face Lily again, however, all he could see was a pair of vast, pursing lips. Too close to react, Gazelle's eyes bugged out of his head as his entire face was pressed against Lily's mouth. The miniature hero had no idea whether he was prey or a plaything. Regardless, he was too small to resist.

With an excited grin, Lily sucked in a hurricane-amount of air and blew into Gazelle's mouth, and immediately, his meat-shaft elongated like a perverted balloon animal. Feeling his member swell drastically, Gazelle alarmingly muffled into Lily's lips, but the hippo just inhaled deeply before emptying all of her air into Gazelle again, inflating his member to twice his own height. Breath after breath, blow after blow, Lily made the gargantuan cannon between the hero's legs even longer and fatter, humming as she felt it brush under her chin. It already dwarfed Gazelle's entire body, long enough to stretch halfway across the city, but it was not enough for Lily. Like a bellows feeding a fire, Lily fueled his lewd growth, adding mile after mile of sensitive, pulsing girth. In this position, Gazelle's only option was to brave the unbearable, restrained pleasure filling his cock and tingling in his balls. He could feel gravity pull on his heavy, overgrown sack, and it only increased with every second. With his shaft enlarging to ridiculous size and his tip convulsing crazily, Gazelle's lips curled into a smile, accepting the air Lily had to give.

Just as he was comfortable between the hippo's lips, though, he felt them drift away, and the sudden rush of moonlight into his vision illuminated the image of the divinely beautiful Lily beaming. "Sooooooo... Take a looksee," Lily cooed, biting her lip and stifling a snicker. With a brief moment of heavy-hearted hesitation, Gazelle peered downwards, and he forgot how to breathe once he saw what was between his legs. Even while flaccid, his titanic, unmatched monster was wider than his arm-span by God knows how much, and it dangled so far down that the tip was level to Lily's belly button, about 10 miles of manhood eager to be pleasured. Compared to his meat, the Great Gazelle was pathetically small, a skyscraper attached to his groin with a trembling ball sack miles in diameter.

"I... It's..." Gazelle stammered, flustered.

"Yeeeeeeeeees...?" Lily fluttered her eyes charmingly.

"It's huge!" He placed his hands onto his veiny flesh and recoiled from the powerful ripple that traveled from the base to the tip and back again. "I... I-I don't know what to do with it."

Giggling, Lily replied, "Oh, I could think of a few things." The 20-mile hippo lifted Gazelle above her head, and the hero became woozy from the vertigo, so much so, in fact, that he did not notice Lily lowering his limp meat into her open maw until the tip completely passed her lips and was caressed by her tongue. Gazelle gasped, paralyzed. His nerves fired on full blast and were overloaded by the passionate mouth-loving Lily was giving them. With every explosive heartbeat, Gazelle, huffing and panting, was at the mercy of his stiffening, shuddering shaft. Every throb was a pent-up orgasm begging to be released. Lily purred as her mouth could barely contain his swelling girth, lapping up the pre-cum that flowed from his impatient tip. The hippo goddess, wanting to savor his taste as much as she could, slowly slid Gazelle's monstrous rock-hard cock past her lips. The Great Gazelle, reduced to an overgrown sex toy, convulsed as his tender tip slipped free.

Shivering, Gazelle sputtered, "Y-y-you're not g-gonna s-stop now..."

"No, no. I want to give you something better." And with that, Lily laid on her back, propping her broad backside against a mountain. She parted her breasts apart and revealed cleavage so deep and cavernous that cities, mountains, and even the Great Gazelle could fit inside. Then, the hippo gingerly fitted Gazelle's oversized cock between her melons, and at that point, Gazelle knew what she was planning. His heart doubled its pace, and his 10-mile member tensed to near painful stiffness. He heard Lily's playful giggle as she enveloped his shaft in pillowy warmth, and he could feel her hot breath on his leaking tip. A moment of silence. Lily licked her lips, imagining his meaty flavor again, her thighs trembling with anticipation. Gazelle could not bare the stillness, wanting so badly to thrust and slide his manhood between her tits, but he did not have the strength. Finally, amidst the whistling wind and placidity, Lily whispered, "You ready?"

"Y-yes."

"I can't hear you," she teased.

"Yes! Yes! Fuck, I need it! I want it!"

"Good. Then let's get this started."

Lily squished her city-crushing tits together and massaged the pulsing meat between them. The tiny-bodied hero shook profusely while the giant hippo snickered, proud of the power she held over the mighty Great Gazelle. She continued to knead the armful of heavy tits, her nipples and clit tingling with incessant lust, so much so that she started fighting against her seizing body to please Gazelle. She parted her lips and tasted his tip, and she soon realized the near impossible task she was about to undertake. Gazelle's shaft had grown again. It was like trying to fit an arm in her mouth. But there was no way Lily was going to give up, not when his cock was between her humungous, billowy breasts, not when his male musk and tantalizing flavor was all she could think about, not when she had dreamed about this moment for years.

Lily was going to pleasure him. And she was going to taste his cum.

Caressing her lover's cock with her generous breast flesh, Lily began to lap his trembling tip. She moaned, her tongue once again graced by Gazelle's salty savor. She wrapped her lips around what she could. She wanted to fit it in her mouth again. She wanted nothing more. But his tip was already widening again. Her soft lips struggled to pleasure him, but after a few moments of growth, Lily's tongue could not even reach the end of his tip. Please,_she prayed silently, _I need it. Please. Let me be bigger. And as if on cue, Lily spotted her answer. A dabble of pre glistened from the tip of his penis. The hippo's eyes sparkled with glee.

Without wasting any time, Lily suckled down the droplet, barely even tasting it. Gazelle groaned, and his colossal member shook. Much to Lily's joy, more precum started streaming. The hippo licked her lips at the sight of her new favorite drink. Slurping, guzzling, she loudly drank from the spring, making sure not to waste a single drop. It was creamy, salty, and unbelievably addicting.

Suddenly, her ass clenched. Her spine shuddered, and her pussy was on fire. "Oooooohh... I feel something! I feel... Ooooohhh..." Fighting through her desire, she squeezed her tits together and milked Gazelle's cock for more delicious elixir. A thunderous rumble resonated from deep within her, and she could feel herself convulse and balloon again, filling with raw pleasure. "Ooooooooohhhhh..." Gazelle moaned as his member slid deeper into Lily's growing cleavage, her silky skin rubbing against his tender flesh. Feeding off the hero's cum, the hippo grew even more unstoppable, adding 2 miles, 4 miles, then 8 miles to her already monumental frame. As she inflated with size, her mountainous padded ass pressed the former city deeper into the earth. Her lips finally became wide enough to engulf the tip, swallowing every ounce, every precious droplet of pre. Soon, more and more of his shaft was engulfed by her thirsty, slobbering mouth. The feeling of Gazelle's tip gliding past her tongue and down her throat was euphoria to Lily. Her massaging became faster and more ardent, and with each passing second, Gazelle's manhood seemed smaller and smaller as it penetrated her cleavage. The sound of her tits slapping together, the sloshing of his dick in her mouth, the long-awaited taste of his cum... Everything about their courtship fueled her naughtiest thoughts, which fueled her ascension and only made her hornier in an endless cycle.

Slurp. Eighty-six miles. Another gulp. Another 18 miles. Cities were too small to Lily, now able to crush two under her once dainty feet. Her gaze crossed whole states, entire mountain ranges. And the more she drank, the more tremendous she would become. She cooed delightedly thinking about what her actual cum would do to her.

Then, Gazelle released a guttural groan from the deepest depths of his gut, and Lily could feel his cock swell and stiffen in her mouth. The grand moment was approaching. The mighty hero seized and gritted his teeth, grasping what he could of his mammoth cock. Gazelle's throat was so tight he could barely utter a word. "Lily! I-I-I th-think I'm..." Hearing his stuttering, the immense hippo hugged her 2,000-ton breasts and smothered Gazelle's meat, squeezing it like never before. The hero, paralyzed by his passion, his legs weak, his balls pounding and tensing, let out a yell of victorious ecstasy. Yeeeesss, Lily thought, feeling the torrent of cum rush through the miles of throbbing member in her mouth. Give it all to me, little Zelley! Please! PLEASE! Within seconds, her wishes were fulfilled. Her mouth overflowed with creamy white goodness. Lily, eyes wide, made a muffled squeal. Before she could swallow his load, Gazelle gushed again, his seed dribbling from her lips. Lily desperately sucked down as much as she could, white fluid seeping between her boobs, her cheeks blushing as her dreams finally came true. Burst after burst, Lily guzzled down lakes of cum like gulps of smoothie, sighing as the warmth travelled down her gullet. She had no idea when Gazelle's testicles would run out of endless sperm, so she drank everything that rocketed out of his rock-hard cock.

Whole minutes of slurping, grunting, and cooing passed. Lily swallowed a sea's worth of cum, all sitting in the hippo's pudgy belly, which she tapped proudly. After the last squirt slid down her throat, Lily popped her lips off of Gazelle's shaky tip, giggling at her accomplishment.

Then, against her will, her hips bucked, and her entire lower half pumped with pleasure so hot and so hard she unleashed a shrill but aggressive moan. She groped her gigantic tits, her nipples throbbing as if they had their own heartbeats. A tingle radiated from her tailbone and spread up her spine to the back of her skull.

"Lily!" Gazelle called, "A-are you okay?"

"I'm... I'm c-cumming..." She started to rattle, her angelic voice stuttering. "I-I-I'm c-cumming... hard..." The hippo gasped. "I'm cumming again! Oh God!"

"Lily...?" Stuck between her jiggling breasts, he was powerless to do anything. "You can't keep growing! I don't know what will happen!"

"Oh, but I want to... I've never felt this amazing before..."

"But you'll outgrow everything!!"

"YES!" she cried, her shaking intensifying. "Th-that s-sounds l-lovely! Ooooh, so big that th-the whole w-world can see this h-hot momma... Thank you, Zelley! Th-thank you..."

"Lily..." he reprimanded like a stern father.

"Oooooh, and your c-cum... Your sweet cum... It... tasted... so... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!"

Lily exploded. One hundred miles she boomed in one second, the mountain behind her nothing but gravel beneath her ass. Gazelle was immediately swallowed up by her all-consuming cleavage. "Ahhh, YES!!" she moaned lewdly. "Bigger! BIGGER!!" Her voice was heard around the world. Each breast was more than half of the hippo's 500-mile size, and her mass only surged with every hot, mind-numbing moment. "I-I am your goddess! Your b-beautiful, s-sexy goddess! And I'm one. Hot. MOMMA."

The hippo's thousand-mile shadow stretched across the East Coast and only widened with each passing second. Across state lines, unsuspecting citizens cowered at the insidious rumbling, the unearthly tremors, and when they heard the lust-addled bellowing and saw the curvaceous titan of a woman obscure the horizon, it was already too late. Moments after they witnessed the relentlessly growing goddess surge in their direction, a mountainous ass cheek the size of Colorado or a thigh as big as Florida blotted the moonlight and shrouded the cities in shadow, and it did not take long for the walls of pillowy hippo flesh to smother the thousands of towns and cities littered across the East Coast from Pennsylvania to Georgia.

"MOOOOOOOORE... MOOOOOOOOOOOOORE... GIVE ME MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!" Lily cradled her seismic udders, gleefully feeling them slosh in her grasp, each of her enticing nipples vastly out of her reach. Whole states that were flattened beneath her ever-growing curves were mere tickles to her, her bare skin tingling, the lust-addled hippo driven into a child-like state of reckless abandon. Her ass alone had consumed the majority of the Northern Hemisphere, and her shadow plunged the rest of the planet into blackness. All Lily had to do was sit and outgrow country after country, watching with elated awe while the horizon grew shorter and shorter.

In the blink of an eye, Lily soared beyond 14,000 miles, sitting on the Earth like a yoga ball. Everywhere the newborn goddess turned, she gazed into the glimmering infinity of space, stars like fireflies, whole planets gradually closing in, drawn by the growing celestial body. Her colossal globes, wobbling without restraint in the zero gravity, knocked the moon out of its orbit, but Lily did not even notice, completely awestruck by the beauty that surrounded her.

Thirty thousand miles of shapely hippo perched on the steadily deflating globe, diminishing smaller than one of her planetary ass cheeks. Moments after, Lily began to drift from her seat, weightless, her gravitational field surpassing that of Earth's. As if swimming, Lily pirouetted in the vacuum, spinning around to see the place she once called home. The goddess had no words, merely staring at the beach ball floating before her. There was nothing left on Earth to outgrow. Lily was the definition of a planetoid, of godhood, ascending beyond her former self. Enraptured, her moon-sized tears drifted off her cheek. She had achieved more than she could possibly dream. Yet, an incessant thought invaded her mind, echoing, nagging her, consuming all thoughts of joy and celebration. Finally, she was able to utter the words.

"It... I-It's not enough. I want more."

Her entire frame rumbled and quivered, answering her wish immediately. Her gargantuan clit fired ripples of yearning from head to toe. "Yeeesssss... Yeeeeeesssss... I wanna be bigger than the Sun! Bigger than the galaxy!" Her depraved, power-hungry desires welled up inside her, building up to a climactic release that would rival the Big Bang. "Bigger... than... EVERYTHING!!" With a squeal that shook the Solar System, Lily spontaneously doubled in size, her tits plowing the bowling ball-sized planet. The hippo moaned into the void as she doubled again and again after that, rocketing to 480,000 miles, 960,000 miles, 1,920,000 miles... The Earth was now microscopic to her, and all of the surrounding planetoids and even the Sun were suffering the same fate as the green planet. "YEEESSSS!!" she cried triumphantly, fingering her overactive clit. "MAKE MOMMA BIGGER!! BIGGER!! BIIIIGGGGGEEERRRR..."

* * * * *

"Bigger... bigger for Momma... bigger..." Lily tossed and turned in her bed, mumbling to herself, fingers delving into her tender lips. In the midst of her restless sleep, an obnoxious klaxon blared from her phone, and Lily's eyes opened. Sitting up, the lady hippo scanned her surroundings. The bathroom door. The window. The dresser with the Great Gazelle plushie. No stars. No planets. No outrageous curves. Just her and her bedroom.

Her heart sinking to the deepest depths of her stomach, Lily languidly reached to her bedside stand and tapped her phone screen, disabling her alarm. But as her lazy eyes lingered on her screen, the blurry numbers on the digital clock began to take shape, and she soon realized that she had slept through her other four alarms. "8:59?!" Lily flung the sheets off of her bed. "I gotta be at Town Hall!!"

* * * * *

Standing on the steps of Town Hall, Lily waited for over 20 minutes behind her podium with the frigid morning air biting at her legs and her cheeks. A crowd of impatient spectators murmured and glared at their mayor, waiting along with her for the main attraction. Some had already left the crowd, and the audience dwindled by the minute. Lily, too tired to even fake a smile, stared down at her feet, thinking to herself, He's not coming. He's not coming. Staring back at the mass of once excited townspeople, she adjusted her microphone and announced sheepishly, "Howdy, folks. I guess he's not..."

At that moment, someone in the far back hollered something unintelligible, followed by another exhilarated member. Lily squinted, trying to focus on the commotion. Suddenly, a white blur launched from the far end of the audience and soared over the mass of people. Everyone below tried to follow it but to no avail. Lily smiled like a giddy little girl and hopped behind her podium, knowing exactly what it was. With a thunderous crash, the blur landed on the steps of Town Hall, and once it stood tall and proud, clad in a white and gold uniform, the audience went ballistic, roaring and cheering at the appearance of the Great Gazelle.

"Sorry I'm late, everyone," he boomed with bravado. "Had to stop a mutant were-fish from terrorizing the butcher shop."

"Great Gazelle!" Lily blurted, now a groupie like the rest of the crowd. The hero turned to the mayor and smiled.

"Miss Hancock."

"You know my name?"

"Of course," he replied, his voice carrying over the wild applause. "How could I not know the mayor of my favorite city."

Lily's smile widened to goofy proportions, and her cheeks were hotter than a stove.

Once the crowd died down, Lily unveiled the plaque with the Key to the City from behind her podium and stepped toward the Herculean hero. "Great Gazelle," she declared, "as mayor of Freedom City, it is my honor to present to you the Key to the City for going above and beyond the call of duty, for keeping our city safe from threat after threat, danger after danger, for being our sole protector and guardian, not for money or fame or prestige, but because you value our safety above anything else, including your own. You are a true hero." The hippo handed the plaque to the hero, and he cradled it in his open gauntlets. "Thank you."

Flash after flash blinded the hippo as she posed together with her idol, her favorite hero. If she could, she would freeze this moment in time, her by his side, smiling, lasting forever, the hero and the hippo.

* * * * *

The last of the crowd was ambling away, and the crew were removing the fences and relocating Lily's podium. The hippo was shuffling through her notes when a glimpse of white was caught from the corner of her eye. She lifted her eyes up from her papers to see the Great Gazelle climb up the Town Hall steps towards her. Lily blinked, frozen, her heart pumping unruly as she watched his pecs rise with every deep inhale and his uniform cling to his bulging muscles, just like in her dream.

"Thanks for your words today, Miss Hancock. I really appreciated them. Really."

"Oh, pshaw!" she scoffed, waving her hand. "Just the truth. I... The city owes a lot to you."

"Just doing the best I can with what I've got." The hero gave a farewell salute. "I'll see you around."

Great Gazelle crouched, power building up in his knees, but before he could sail away, Lily blurted, "Wait!" Gazelle halted, blinking. Lily froze again, blinking, her hands clammy, cold chills running up her spine. "The... uh... the award comes with a dinner too... "

"It does?"

"Yes! Well, no. I mean, it's not official, but I thought it's the least I can do for all you've done, and it'd be nice to give you more than just a silly ol' plaque. So... my treat?" Lily, shoulders stiff, hoped to recover with a grin.

"Miss Hancock, are you asking me out on a date?"

She perked. "Am I?"

"Are you?"

Blinking at rapid-fire speed and her thoughts colliding inside her skull like marbles, Lily finally answered, "Yes. Yes, I am!"

Gazelle smirked. "Well, I don't know exactly when or where or how, but... Sure! Why not?"

"Great!" she chimed. "Just call my office when you wanna pin down a day."

"Is that even allowed?" he chuckled.

"Not really, but... I'll allow it."

"Miss Hancock..." Gazelle said, shaking his head with a smile. "I'll see you soon then."

"See you soon."

Bending his knees once more, Gazelle launched himself skyward, rocketing above City Hall, disappearing into a spec in the sky. Lily watched all the while, a radiant smile glued to her face, realizing that all of her dreams were becoming true.

The End.
