It was nighttime when Penny woke again.  Now she was really hungry.  Laying there on the ground, she tried to imagine just what she could eat.  Maybe there was a cattle ranch out here somewhere,  she thought.  It would probably take three or four cows to satisfy the gnawing ache in her stomach, but she figured she wouldn’t have much trouble catching as many as she wanted.  But what about cooking the meat?  No answer came to her.  And what about the bones?  Still no answer.

Then she heard noises around her.  Sitting up and looking around, she realized that a bunch of jeeps and pickup trucks had positioned themselves around the little brick building and its access road.  There were also a few police cars, and again, a cop was standing on top of his car with a bullhorn, trying to get her attention.

Penny’s hunger and frustration put her in a bad mood.  “Oh, fuck off!” she said to the little people below her.  And with a quick swipe of her hand, she sent them all – trucks, cars, cops, and even the little brick building and its transmission towers – flying into the hills.  Satisfied, she got up and started walking again.

At last Penny knew she was in L.A., as the mountains no longer reached much above her kneecaps.  Also, she could now see the downtown towers in the distance, and there were quite a few luxury homes dotting the landscape around her. 

Now she encountered a different problem.  Where was Bel Air?   Where was home?  How would she get there from here?  Maybe if she could find a telephone she could call her daddy.  She started to look around for a phone booth.  But this was a residential area, and there didn’t seem to be any gas stations or convenience stores around.  Maybe one of the nice people who lived here could let her use their phone?

Penny chose a large house to her right.  She could see lights in the windows, so she was pretty sure somebody would be home.  She laid herself carefully down along the road, trying very hard not to damage anything.  Unfortunately, her breasts were just too big, and as they compressed on the pavement, they also spread well beyond the width of the street, crunching concrete property walls and wrought iron fences.  “Oh well,” she thought, “couldn’t be helped.  I tried.”

Having settled with her face before the front of her chosen benefactor’s house, Penny knocked on the front door with one finger.  She tried to be ever so gentle, but still managed to crash the door in.   “Damn,” she thought.  “This is no way to be asking a favor.”

A man did appear in the doorway, though, with a woman in curlers looking over his shoulder.  He didn’t notice Penny at first, looking instead for some more commonplace cause for the damage.  So Penny cleared her throat and began, “Excuse me,“ – her thunderous voice got the inhabitants’ attention – “I’m sorry for breaking down your door, but I’m well, something happened to me and made me very big and I’m a little lost and I wonder if I could use your phone.”

The man and woman just stared at her, their mouths open wide.  Penny couldn’t understand why they weren’t responding.  She had tried to be as polite as she knew how.  So she repeated, a little louder this time, “Excuse me, but may I please use your telephone?”  The shock waves knocked the man backwards into his wife and sent both of them falling to the floor.

That shook them out of their reverie.  The couple got up and dusted off, and after ensuring that his wife was alright, the man asked, “Yes, but how can I hand it to you?”

Penny couldn’t quite hear him.  “I’m sorry?”

The man said it a little louder.  “Yes, but how can I give it to you?  Can you hold it?  Can you dial it?”

Penny still couldn’t hear.  She leaned closer, inadvertently squashing the front gate.  “I’m sorry, could you say that one more time please?”

This time the man put his hands to his mouth and yelled as loud as he could, “YES YOU CAN, BUT HOW???”

Hmmm.  Penny hadn’t thought that far ahead.  How indeed was she going to use a regular size phone?  Even a portable phone or a cell phone that maybe the man could bring outside?

“Oh, uh, right.  Well, could you please call my parents for me then?”

“OK, JUST A MINUTE.”  He disappeared into the house for a minute and then returned with a portable.  “WHAT’S THE NUMBER?”

Penny recited her home number, one of the few things she had ever memorized.  The man dialed and listened.  After a minute, Penny saw him talking into the phone, but she couldn’t hear what he was saying.  He kept looking up at her gigantic face, and making silly hand gestures that her father obviously couldn’t see.

Eventually, the man gave the phone to his wife to hold.  “YOUR PARENTS AREN’T HOME NOW, BUT THE HOUSEKEEPER SAID YOU SHOULD COME HOME ANYWAY.”

Penny didn’t really know what she had wanted to hear, but that wasn’t it.  She had sort of hoped that daddy would just fix everything, him being a big shot lawyer and all.  She couldn’t help being reminded that once again, her parents were ignoring her.  It made her feel a bit miffed, but she was still hopeful that daddy would be there when she got home.

But Penny realized that she was still lost.  She knew Bel Air was somewhere in Los Angeles, but Los Angeles was big, and she had always relied on either her folks or her boyfriends to take her wherever she needed to go.  So, looking down at the little man again, she asked, “Can you tell me which way is Bel Air?”

The man looked around to get his bearings, then pointed roughly West.  “IT’S THAT WAY.  FOLLOW THIS STREET TO  THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND TURN RIGHT, THEN MAKE YOUR FIRST LEFT AND YOU’LL BE ON THE MAIN ROAD GOING IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO.”

Penny thanked the nice man and stood up.  Looking down at the streets, she followed the man’s directions with her eyes.  It seemed silly for her to try to follow such narrow, windy roads, when they really took her the wrong way, at least initially.  So she shrugged, causing her enormous breasts to jiggle, and started walking in the direction the man had pointed.

Way below Penny’s notice, the man grimaced as he watched the beautiful giantess step over his neighbor’s house.  He hoped she missed the swimming pool.  Then he shuddered as he realized that the direction he had pointed would lead her straight through the downtown center!
