        “Alright losers, time’s up.” Chet was always like this when he was ready to use the pool.  It’s not as if he was giving us an allotted time, basically whenever Chet wanted to use the pool with his girlfriend, it meant that my girlfriend Amy and I were to be out of it.  I’m not sure if it was coincidence or fate that Chet happened to share the name as the older brother from the movie Weird Science, but he sure did act like him. 

          Chet was you’re typical loser 22 year old; after failing out of 3 different colleges he was able to resume his career in the same Chicken Holiday that he had worked at since he was sixteen, except now he worked all of five hours a week and spent the rest of his time drinking beer while hanging out with his girlfriend Heather, who was basically just a female version of Chet.  The only difference was that Chet was more the vocal one while Heather just sat their pointing, laughing, and egging him on.

        As we made our way out of the pool, Chet was more than happy to sling insults at Amy.  Amy was about 5’1’’ but probably weighed in the neighborhood of 240 pounds which would classify her as dangerously obese.  It probably didn’t help that I was the same height as Amy but was close to half her weight at 123 pounds.  Her weight never bothered me; I had known her for 12 years now since my family first moved into the house directly behind her.  In fact if anything it made me love her more the way she never let the insults bother her, she would always just give Chet, or pretty much all the girls at school, a quick roll of her eyes and walk away.  I, however, would take offense to it since I knew how hard she had tried to keep her weight under control but whether it was exercise or diets nothing seemed to work for her, whereas I was the exact opposite and couldn’t gain wait for the life of me.  However all defending her did for me was earn my head a quick trip to the boys’ room toilet or find me on the floor defending blows from Chet.

        “Dammit, we’re gonna have to add more water to the pool when your pet whale gets out Rich” yelled Chet as he cracked open another beer.  He knew remarks like this would get a rise out of me and this remark was no different.  I lunged at Chet but he was a good 7 inches taller than me and probably about 50 pounds heavier so I wasn’t able to put up too much of a fight before I found myself thrown to the floor.  I wouldn’t say he was in good shape at all, in fact he was in terrible shape, but his extra size made it so I pretty much never won one of these confrontations.
    “I guess I have to teach you another lesson” he said as he grabbed Amy’s towel, t-shirt, and jeans and threw them into the pool. “ You should learn to control these little outbursts otherwise your cow is forced to pay”  Before he could leave well enough alone though he made sure to stand over me while I was getting up and pour his beer on the back of my head.

    As Amy and I made our way through the gate that connected the both of our yards, she was trying to calm me down as she could see just how frustrated I was.  Every night this summer had pretty much ended this same way, and we always wound up spending the rest of the night on a bench in her backyard where I was talking about something mean that had happened to her that day whereas she tried to talk to me about anything else.  “I wish you didn’t have this stupid well in your backyard, then you could have gotten that pool 6 years back and we wouldn’t have to deal with Chet.”
        Amy’s backyard was a popular place for a lot of the teens in the neighborhood. They would always get drunk and decide it was a good time to go make a wish at the “whale’s well”  Amy’s parents decided long ago that it wasn’t worth it to keep putting up fences to keep the kids out since they always inevitably got knocked down.  However, they did learn their lesson though and stopped trying to maintain a flower garden around the base of it.

        “That well was supposedly built by my great grand-parents, if fact, it’s probably the only part of their house to survive through the years.

        This was the last thing I needed to hear “Well I hate it, your grandmother has been telling us stories for years about how it’s a real wishing well but I have yet to see it grant a single wish.  But your parents loved it so much they refused to get rid of it and add the pool like we asked them too 6 years ago.” I said as I got up from the bench.  “I’m gonna head home, I don’t really feel like spending another night on the bench” and with that I walked back through the gate into my backyard.

        Amy sat on that bench for another 20 minutes thinking about everything.  She had learned to accept her weight and so had Rich, but unfortunately no one else had.  As she kept thinking about how upset Rich always got when people made fun of her it made her start to cry, in fact, this was the first time she started to cry about her weight.  Being that her parents were both overweight she got plenty of positive reinforcement at home and knew she had bigger things to worry about than her weight, but tonight she wasn’t about to worry about those things. 
    It was pretty much at this same time, she heard someone coming through the hole in the fence.  Being that it was so dark in this corner of her backyard, she could only make out tat it was a slender girl coming toward the well.  “Please, no drunken wishes tonight’ said Amy “I’m just not in the mood”

        “Why Amy, I’m not here to make a wish.  I’m here to grant one”

        As the girl drew closer to Amy she could see that she was absolutely breath taking.  “Listen I don’t need another beautiful girl to make fun of me, so please just go.

        “Amy I don’t think you were listening, I’ve watched you grow up here for the last 18 years, and never once have I seen you shed a tear.  Now I ask you, what is it that made my Amy so sad?”

        Amy was too upset to even notice that this girl had said she was watching her for 18 years, or even how she had known her name.  She had seemed genuine enough though and like any girl would, Amy needed someone to talk to at this moment and decided to let her guard down for once.  “It’s just Rich, he’s been so good to me all these years and I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else, but I feel him being with me is just holding him back.  I mean its one thing to make fun of me for my weight, but he gets it just as bad for going out with me.  He gets so upset about people making fun of me and just isn’t able of doing anything about it, he’s been getting beat up since 3rd grade defending me, sometimes I wish all this fat was muscle just so I can physically defend him for once like he has tried doing for me all these years.”

        As Amy finished talking the mysterious stranger got up and started walking in circles around the well.  “You know this will be the 2nd wish in all these years that this well has granted.”

        “Granted? Second?  Who exactly are you?” questioned Amy.

        “My name isn’t important, but you just made a wish and I’m here to grant it.  I might have to make you a tad taller too; I guess I won’t get in trouble for adding that in, it’ll just be easier to make the changes that way.  And yes, second wish, the first was actually for your boyfriend although he didn’t know it, I didn’t appear to him like I am for you tonight.  Anyways, about 4 years ago he wished he could have the courage to stand up for you when you were being made fun of, and I gotta say, he’s done a pretty good job of that.
       
        Amy’s jaw dropped to the floor, she was having trouble taking everything in.  “I don’t believe you, why only 2 wishes, there’s kids here every night making wishes.”

        “Well those kids always wish for money or sex or something selfish, can’t blame them though, everyone wishes selfishly.  But your’s just now, and Rich’s 4 years ago for that matter, were completely selfless, you made the wishes for each other, and those are the wishes I grant.  Anyways, if you don’t believe me just take a look in the well”  Amy walked over and peered into the well, she only saw darkness but before she had the chance to ask what she was supposed to be seeing, she was falling headfirst into the well.  The last thing she could remember was hitting the water before she blacked out

        Amy awoke lying on the bench sometime later, she had no way of knowing how long she had been out, or how she even got on the bench from the bottom of the well, but judging from music still blaring from Rich’s backyard, it couldn’t have been that late since Chet and Heather were still in the pool.  Amy figured the whole thing had been a crazy dream and Amy decided she would head to bed.  That thought lasted in her mind about as long as it took her to sit up.  Being that she was used to be overweight, a sit up was never something that came easy to her, but this time she flew right up that she took herself by surprise.  All of a sudden she was able to see her thighs on the bench in from of her.  They were probably the same size they used to be, but now instead of being flabby messes, they were pretty much solid muscle. 

        Amy only had two things on her mind now.  She ran inside her house to get a bath robe so she could start on them.  Normally her bath robe would come down to just about even with her knees, but now it was only covering to her upper thigh.  “Well, she did say she was gonna make me taller” thought Amy, “ I must be about 4 or 5 inches taller than I used to be. 

        She took about three steps across her backyard before she decided she would go the long way around to avoid Chet and Heather.  This meant she would have to walk about half a mile around the block to get to Rich’s house, she hadn’t walked this way in years since the half a mile might as well have been 100 miles for her with the shape she used to be in but she was able to pretty much sprint the whole way without thinking about it now, and she only stopped as she rang Rich’s doorbell.

        Being that it was about midnight, I wasn’t expecting any visitors.  I figured it was one of Chet’s drunk friends forgetting to just go around to the back so I just yelled go around and didn’t even bother getting up from the couch where I was watching TV.  When the doorbell rang again I got up and didn’t even bother undoing the chain on the door since I was just gonna poke it open a little and tell him to go around.  As soon as I opened it a crack, Amy came rushing through the door walking past me speaking a mile a minute.  I wasn’t really listening to her since I was looking at the door chain that was now ripped off its spot on the molding and dangling from the open door.  I slowly turned around because in addition to the door chain, I couldn’t help thinking Amy seemed much taller than me as she walked by, especially since we had been the same height for about 6 years, and it was taking me a minute to take in all the information. 

        I probably should have turned around sooner because all the questions I had been asking myself in that last 2 seconds were answered the instant I saw Amy standing about 10 feet in front of me, her bathrobe on the floor covering her feet.    I was used to Amy’s thigh being as big as my waist but it’s a different feeling when that thigh is also made of granite.  I just stood their staring at her for what felt like hours when Amy said, “They’re even bigger up close, why don’t you get a closer look.”  I walked slowly toward her savoring every step I took.  As soon as I got within reach of her she grabbed me and pulled me right up to her.  She was a good head taller than me now and as she looked down at me she asked “So, do you like what you see?”  I was still having trouble forming words so Amy just chuckled and proceeded to squeeze my head into her chest.  It was actually a little painful as it seemed my entire face was being swallowed in the gap between her pecs, but I can also say I had never been more turned on in my life and Amy noticed this.

        She pulled me a way a little basically holding me up by my shoulders since I don’t think my legs would have held me up if she were to let go.  As she looked down at my erection she giggled and said, “Well I know what’s on your mind.” Amy and I had only had sex once.  Given the size difference between us it was very awkward for me and I think it was the same for Amy.  Neither of us ever talked about the experience and I think we both silently decided to ourselves that we wouldn’t be the one who pushed for it again.  However, now I couldn’t think of anything I could have wanted more than sex.  As if she was reading my mind Amy said to me “Rich we have all night to have sex and trust me, we will, but first, I want to go swimming.” And with that a mischievous smile spread across her face……

    Why is it I can just hear Amy's gleeful cry of, "CANNONBALL!!!" as she splashes down into the pool? 😀
