Big Trouble: Take Two!
Just before you entered the kitchen, there was a loud booming noise, accompanied by a tremendous tremor that almost knocked you off your feet. You wiped a bit of cold sweat off your brow, realizing that had this happened in the kitchen, something much uglier might've happened, with all the knives, metallic pots, pans and whatnot in there.

'The hell was that just now?!' You thought 'This place's not supposed to have many earthquakes happen...' You recalled some earthquake drills from way back when you were in your early elementary years, but you were now in your 2nd year of highschool and no real earthquake ever happened, to your knowledge. Still, you guessed that maybe that was just it, so you opened the kitchen's door...

THOOOOM!

Everything in your kitchen rattled, and the tremor was powerful enough to sort of launch you upwards in the air, but only about an inch in total, still, it was enough to get you to fall on your back, hitting the cold tiled floor pretty harshly, sending wild waves of painful pulses across the nerves in your back and limbs.

"What?!" You yelled in frustration, this so called earthquake wasn't behaving like you were taught. You rolled away from the kitchen's entrance and tried getting up.

THOOOOM!

"Really?!" You shouted again, and before you could even attempt to get up again, there was another similar tremor. Only now you started to realize that there seemed to be some rhythm to them, they weren't at random, and the next one further confirmed that little theory, though you had no idea what this meant. You pulled your phone out, wondering if you'd find any news on these odd quakes on social media, thus, you tapped the orange bird icon on your phone's screen.

"Please no senseless arguing today" You quietly prayed as Chirper booted up. You weren't too fond of this one given its reputation for being a keyboard battlefield over largely irrelevant stuff, but it was still useful for the news, at least more so than the other app, where you often needed to double check if what was being said was even true at all. Strangely enough, there was nothing, at least, not at the national or international levels.
'I guess an earthquake in just one city isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things' You sighed as you tried to look for local news. There you finally found something about the strange quakes, so you began checking out the posts there.

Most of them turned out to be very similar to what you were experiencing, people going about their normal day only to be suddenly interrupted by a sudden series of odd tremors. Some were overly dramatic, with cars' alarms going off and stuff falling off shelves, but so far none of those revealed the cause behind it all. A couple of minutes later, you realized that you were still on the floor so you decided to get up, thankfully with no more tremors this time. Cautiously, you entered the kitchen and made sure nothing was broken.

'Better not cook anything, don't want to burn my face off or something' You thought, remembering a rather horrifying safety PSA where a young chef tripped over some unassuming oil stain on the floor. The catch was that she was carrying a large pot full of boiling water or oil, which got dumped right onto her as she fell, leading to blood-curdling shrieks, and a glimpse at her burning face. Your entire body got goosebumps recalling that memory.

"Well, they say cereal's the best breakfast, isn't that right?" You laughed nervously "Nothing hot or dangerous... just harmless cereal and cold milk. Yeah, the perfect breakfast" You said as you grabbed the cereal box and a carton of milk from the fridge. Since you usually didn't eat cereal for breakfast, as Miriam often told you to have heartier stuff, the only cereal available was your mom's personal favorite, which was a bunch of miniature chocolate chip cookies, but it's not like you were complaining, it was yummy indeed, and funnily enough it helped a little in explaining your mom's additional 'padding'.

Still wary of the kitchen, you grabbed your bowl and a spoon and went to the dining room to eat in relative peace and quiet while trying to find out more about what happened just now, it was then that...

[Paths]

1) Your phone began ringing, startling you for a moment. You saw that the number was one you didn't recognize, but decided to answer anyway, it's not like you'd fall for the classic scams, and you had no bank account or any assets really vulnerable to that kind of thing.

"Hello?"

"Blaise! Are you at home?" Most surprisingly, it was Zuleima who spoke, which was odd in itself, like your father she was mostly busy at work, plus there was this sense of urgency in her voice that you couldn't quite shake off.

"Y-Yeah, I'm just having breakfast" You replied, already feeling the tension escalate even when you had no idea why.

"Please stay there, I'm coming. It's something really important... Blaise, please do NOT go anywhere outside, you hear me?"

"Yeah, I won't, promise..." You felt even more awkward with how she sounded, like there was a reason not to go outside. But, with how your mom educated you, and knowing Zuleima was a close friend of the family, you decided to heed her advice and stayed put, feeling a little afraid of even leaving the dining room. Then, more posts about the mysterious quakes came up, and one of the videos showed something you could simply not believe.

"What the-"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

Suddenly, a bunch of videos popped out, and the quakes became a trend! Intrigued, you tapped one of the videos to watch it and you couldn't believe what you were seeing, it was like something out of a sci-fi movie, yet it was uncannily realistic. You even switched out to your internet browser to check if this wasn't some overly convoluted ad campaign for some event or videogame, something to debunk this, but all you could find were more alarming news.

There was a giant woman, in the middle of the friggin city, and of course, panic spread like wildfire. Those tremors? Her footsteps. The city's mayor even gave an emergency speech where he publicly called out for the federal government to bring anything and everything to help contain the threat she represented, though some scientists that were there asked him to calm down and try a peaceful approach first. In the meantime, a city-wide evacuation order was issued for everyone.

'Is this for real?!' You thought in disbelief. You went back to Chirper to check more videos, since the woman's appearance was largely obscured by the large plumes of dust from the buildings she apparently destroyed, or that collapsed from her quaking footsteps. Your eyes widened in horror, the woman was easily larger than the largest skyscraper in the city, she was so huge it felt unreal. Cars were smaller than her toes alone, people were little more than ants before her, and with the way they fled in blind panic, they might as well be.

Still, the woman's identity remained obscured, as few of those who posted the videos dared trying to look up, since they were much more greatly preoccupied with getting away for their own safety, but then in the comments someone mentioned that they were talking about this on TV right now, so you went to the living room and grabbed the controller to turn the TV there on, immediately going to the local news channel.

It was a good thing that you had already finished your breakfast because otherwise you would've choked on it right there and then, from a helicopter, the news showed the gigantic woman in all detail, and you dropped the controller in disbelief.
"No way..." Was the only thing you could mutter in your daze.

But who was the mysterious giant lady?

2) Lillian, and it seemed she was having fun showing off her newly acquired size, playfully bumping a tall skyscraper with her enormous hips, making the entire structure shake like it was the worst earthquake ever. The news cameraman obviously had his priorities set, as he mostly showed her now truly gargantuan, jiggling ass. By the look of it, it appeared that Lillian herself was treating this as some kind of dream. Then she began walking away and you began feeling the quakes again...

3) Most surprisingly, it was Jen, but instead of the raging monster the panicked posts depicted, she looked embarrassed and afraid herself, trying not to move much, presumably to avoid destroying things. One could only wonder how on Earth she got that big, but seeing that she was obviously in trouble, you decided to go there and help, even if merely as a moral support, thus, you grabbed your phone, hastily dressed and rushed out your house.

4) Your blood froze, and you yourself felt as if you had been dunked into the cold waters of the North Pole. The enormous woman was none other than Arianna, your school's principal.

"Jesus Frickin' Christ... as if she needed to be any more terrifying!" You thought out loud. You then winced when she viciously stomped on a nearby military vehicle, obliterating it under her foot, though none could tell if they were even being aggressive towards her in the first place. She looked around, and in fact, she looked like she was trying to recognize the place while looking for something, but what she was looking for was anybody's guess. Apparently dissatisfied with her search there, she began walking away from the area...

[Note: I'd recommend having as many choices for other ladies going giant in the free choice, normally having 4 at a time plus another free choice to open up more possibilities. If possible, try to add some flavor text to each of the choices like in here, to make the story a bit more substantial. Whether they remain clothed or not is up to whoever chooses to do these additional paths]
