"Sup, David. Something's different about you. Did you get your hair cut or something?"

Tyler's question was dripping with sarcasm to match the smug, taunting grin spread across his muzzle. David on the other hand stood stock still and stared, wide-eyed, at his brother. The dragon looked the same as usual with the same purple hide, the same glasses, the same nerdy T-shirt with the logo for some superhero or another and the same baggy jeans he usually wore. There was only one difference between the usual Tyler his muscular blue brother had become used too over the years and the one standing before him now.

David was looking UP at him.

"What the hell?" David exclaimed in disbelief as soon as the initial shock wore off. "Tyler, what happened to you!?"

The confusion and rising panic in his brother's voice made Tyler's grin widen. "Oh, you know. Just decided to go with a different look today. Expanding my horizons so to speak." The over-sized now-former runt of a dragon demurred.

"Bullshit." David shot back. "You're not just wearing a new shirt or trying on make up, Tyler. Look at you! You're like nine feet tall!"

"Ten feet, actually. Ceilings here are about ten feet. And as you can see..." Tyler paused mid-correction to straighten to his full height and demonstrate that the top of his head was brushing against the ceiling. "...they're a bit low for me."

"Cmon, Tyler. Stop joking around. What the hell is going on?" David demanded.

The now-shorter of the two brothers was trying not to show that he was a little bit intimidated by his brother's towering new height. He wasn't necessarily scared of his brother even if they were taller than either him or even Fang, but he was definitely concerned of what Tyler could do at that size even if he still had the same slender proportions. Tyler didn't need to try to cause damage when he was that big regardless of how much muscular strength he had. He could just fall over or bang his head on something too hard and break something.

"Would you believe I just had a late growth spurt?" Tyler asked innocently. From the expression on his face he was eating up David's confusion and visible discomfort at the unexpected and impossible situation confronting him.

"Enough with the coyness, bro. This isn't funny. It's not natural to just suddenly double in size like this!" David shot back with a voice bordering on threatening.

"Well you're right about that, at least." Tyler conceded.

Part of the purple dragon wasn't too happy with the demanding tone of voice David was using with him but another part of him had a pretty good inkling where David was about to take this if the now-shorter blue dragon acted as he usually did when he was trying to get something from Tyler.

David's frustration grew with Tyler's continued refusal to give him a straight answer. If he had been more self-aware in that moment he would have figured he was trying to cover up his own confusion and worry by grasping at familiar interactions with his brother and clinging just a bit too much to disbelief. Before David thought the idea through properly, his body had already moved to tackle Tyler!

David rammed into his enlarged brother was surprised as much as Tyler was when he was actually was able to successfully bring him to the ground! The two landed with a THUD that shook the entire house hard enough that a few pictures fell off of nearby walls. David wasted no time in grappling with his brother; struggling to get Tyler in some kind of submission hold. It was something they had done many times since they were kids despite one of them not enjoying the 'game' nearly as much as the other. Usually it was done, like now, in situations where David wanted to get something out of Tyler like the TV remote when he wanted to use the TV but Tyler already had it occupied. Or, like now, to get Tyler to tell him something they were hiding.

As soon as Tyler realized David might do this he had been almost giddy to let it happen. He HATED these stupid wrestling matches David forced him into. Intellectually Tyler knew that they weren't malicious, David just wasn't that kind of brother, but he was oblivious enough to never catch on how much Tyler despised being manhandled; particularly when the match up was so insanely one-sided between the two of them. But now that he was even bigger than David was the now bigger of the two brothers was eager to put David in his place for once. Except... he couldn't seem to manage it.

Tyler was much, much bigger than he had ever been now that he was ten feet tall and that made even his lanky frame significantly heavier than it had once been. He had no doubt in his mind that even his diminutive weight at five feet tall was significantly more than what David weighed once he applied the square-cube law to his new size. But he quickly realized that weight was not strength. While it certainly helped in these kinds of contests David was still strong enough to put up a significant challenge over Tyler's raw weight advantage. When mixed with David actually having wrestling experience and compared to Tyler's only real sporting experience worth mentioning was tennis, David still had the clear advantage. It was a lot more difficult than any of their previous impromptu matches had been but when all was said and done David once again had his brother face-down on the floor with an arm twisted behind their back to immobilize them.

"Got you!" David growled triumphantly. He may have been victorious but neither of them failed to notice David was breathing a lot heavier after that contest than he had after any of their previous encounters. "Now tell me whats going on, Tyler!" the smaller, but apparently still stronger, of the two brothers demanded.

For his part, Tyler was absolutely livid at still being bested by his brother despite his new, towering height. He knew he wasn't very good at physical contests like this but had been counting on raw size to overcome his other shortcomings. Technically it had been cheating, some part of Tyler told himself, and he got what he deserved for trying to cheat. But then another voice in his head piped up and suggested maybe he just hadn't been cheating enough...

"Ok. You want to know what happened to me?" Tyler growled in an ominous tone after attempting to turn his head and catch a glimpse of where David sat on top of him. "It's simple, David. I got bigger."

The moment the last word left Tyler's mouth his whole body began began to grow. At first David didn't realize what was happening; the sheer impossibility of such a thing leaving him to think he was imagining it at first. But it quickly became too obvious to ignore when David realized he was being lifted higher up where he sat as Tyler spread up and out below him. His formerly puny little brother's stretched out across the living room; covering more and more of the floor with each passing second. At one point one of his swelling legs bumped against a side-table and caused the lamp atop it to fall off and break upon hitting the floor. His free arm stretched out with the rest of him and was soon extending down the hall leading to their bedrooms and bathrooms. But of far more concern to David was Tyler's other arm.

David had one hand gripping Tyler's large but still slender wrist to hold it behind them against the small of their back. But within moments the purple dragon's wrist had swollen to the point David was losing his grip on it. On reflex he grabbed it with his other hand as well in an attempt to continue holding it to immobilize Tyler. A sense of disbelieving panic grew in David along with his brother's growth as he felt his ability to restrain the arm lessen more and more; distracting the blue dragon from noticing he was no longer straddling Tyler's waist but was now kneeling on it; the narrow waistline and admittedly curvy hips of David's once smaller brother now too wide for his legs to comfortable straddle. When the unexpected and supposedly impossible growth spurt came to an end Tyler was easily twice his previous size!

Casually, the now-bigger Tyler pulled his restrained arm towards his side. His brother's eyes went wide at the force behind the casual movement and was forced to let go unless he wanted to be dragged away with it. Suddenly, David was tossed to the side as the 'ground' beneath him heaved and moved to roll over. He was forced to scramble back on his hands and knees a couple of feet to avoid having one of his limbs wind up trapped under the significantly increased bulk of his brother. When Tyler sat up he did so a bit too quickly and wound up slamming his head into the ceiling with an audible impact that left a huge dent in the popcorn-textured drywall. To David's disbelief he realized Tyler was a bit too tall for the living room ceiling even while sitting now!

"Sup, David?" Tyler rumbled in a mocking call back to what he had first said to David after revealing his first growth spurt to David. The former runt of a purple dragon's voice was now significantly louder and had deepened in pitch by several notches thanks to his new size. "About that little wrestling match... How about best two out of three?"

Grinning triumphantly, Tyler reached one of his enlarged arms towards David in an attempt to grab his arm. David barely reacted in time to pull his arm away and scamper farther enough back to hopefully be out of easy reach. He was then forced to scamper to the side while ducking down to avoid the thick mass of Tyler's tail sweeping through the air suddenly to try and pin the blue dragon between it and the wall. The now large appendage missed David by inches and impacted the wall near where he had been standing with enough force that the drywall dented much like the ceiling had.

"Tyler, stop it! This is serious, you're breaking shit!" David chastised.

He was trying to put on a brave face but, while he was at least moderately sure Tyler wouldn't actually hurt him, he couldn't help but be intimidated by someone now almost three times his height who filled up a good portion of their living room all by himself. It also didn't help that from what he had just seen Tyler might not even need to TRY and hurt him. At that size Tyler was damaging stuff around him purely on accident. That tail swipe alone would have knocked the wind out of him at the very least had it connected.

"What's the matter, 'little' brother?" Tyler taunted; unable to keep a bit of jealous venom out of his voice when he called David little. "Not so eager to try and pin me down when you don't have the advantage?"

"Tyler!" David shouted, louder this time, in an attempt to get his brother to listen. "You're gonna knock down one of the walls at this rate!"

But Tyler didn't seem interested in such concerns. Either he genuinely didn't care anymore or he was so drunk on his new size and the power that came with it that he wasn't thinking straight. When Tyler tried to grab at David again the blue dragon jumped back with so little to spare that he felt Tyler's huge fingers brush across his chest. That time, Tyler's failure to grab his brother turned his drunken amusement into a scowl of annoyance.

"Come here, David." Tyler demanded in a dangerous growl.

"No way, bro. You're acting nuts! What's gotten into you?" David asked after swallowing nervously at Tyler's intimidating expression.

"What's gotten into me?" Tyler spat with enough venom even Tyler was surprised how bitter his voice sounded. "What's gotten into me is not being the runt anymore. I'm a DRAGON. Do you have any idea how humiliating it is to be shorter than most MICE? But now I'm taller than mice. I'm taller than wolves and lions and you and even Fang. Now I'll be the one looking down on everyone else instead of everyone else looking down on me!"

When his brother's tirade was done David took a nervous step back. He didn't get very far before his back bumped against the wall behind him; stopping him from retreating further. The look of worry must have been visible because Tyler's scowl slowly twisted into a smirk.

"Now that's something I'm already enjoying. You're intimidated, aren't you? Intimidated of the puny little purple runt. The runt that needs step stools to reach the upper cabinets while their brother has to duck under door frames and can lift the back end of a car off the ground." Tyler practically purred; savoring the excited thrill seeing David being the one intimidated by him for a change. "I have no idea how I got this weird ability but I am absolutely LOVING it. All I have to do is say that certain word I said earlier and it'll make me double in size. Look at me now. I'm already the biggest dragon to ever live! Hell, I'm so much taller than the next biggest dragon that they'd be looking up at my junk!"

David tried not to let that mental image form in his head. Instead he looked around trying to get some idea of what he should do in this situation. He was so overwhelmed, though, that the only idea he had came when he looked at the front door beside him. With no better idea of what to do David took one last glance at Tyler before turning and throwing the front door open!

The moment Tyler realized what David was doing his eyes widened and he lunged forward as best as he could. Unfortunately with his enormous size he had little room to maneuver in the small room so multiple times his tail, legs, arms, or head smashed against the wall and ceilings and slowed his movement considerably. By the time Tyler was able to get on his hands and knees David was already through the door and running outside. When he glanced over his shoulder David saw his brother's huge arm reaching through the doorway trying to grab at him only to fall a couple of feet short. Feeling a bit of relief that Tyler was too big to easily get out of the house David stopped on the sidewalk and turned back towards their house. Unfortunately, his relief was short-lived.

"Alright, David. If that's how you want to play I'll humor you." Tyler's deep voice said; partially muffled by the house Tyler was still inside. "Didn't I just tell you how I got this big? All I had to do was say that one little word and I doubled in size. Nothings stopping me from saying bigger again. Hell, I could say bigger as many times as I want. What do you think is going to happen when I say BIGGER three times in a row?"

With each repetition of the word David's eyes grew wider. It didn't take more than a few seconds after Tyler had said it the first time before he heard things starting to break inside the house. He could imagine Tyler's swelling thigh crushing the couch against the wall while his tail smashed through the wall into the kitchen. David, for all his obliviousness, wasn't stupid. If Tyler was twenty feet now and he doubled in size THREE times there wasn't going to be any of their house left. So he did the smart thing. He turned and ran.

As he sprinted as fast as he could across the street, no real location other than 'not here' in mind, David could hear the sounds of their house collapsing behind him. Had he dared to look over his shoulder he could have seen an increasingly massive pair of arms and legs bursting out of the front and sides of the house like some perverse bastardization of Alice outgrowing the white rabbit's house. But he didn't need to look to know to keep running. When he heard Tyler's voice boom through the air, still becoming tangibly louder and deeper pitched with each word, David pushed himself to run faster.

"You can't run forever, David. Don't you know that running from your problems will only make them... bigger?"
