That does it. Lucy really wants her best friend to become the best she can be, but it'd take a miracle for Angie Marsh to get noticed by anyone not wanting to pick on her for some stupid reason. Luckily, as the raven haired girl's hand finds what she's been looking for in her bag, miracles are an on-demand kind of thing. She debates letting her friend know about this Dictaphone. Friends share big life-changing things, right? She's almost positive Angie would do the same for her if she got this thing in the mail one night...
Then again, she's pretty sure Angie would be irate if she found out Lucy used it to make herself adapt to be the alpha at anything she wants, wondering if it's really alright to do this. At least Tomo is able to use her sharp tongue to help overcome her unfortunate Asian traits of being short and flat... Perhaps she could use a boost, too? "No, not yet." she says to herself as she decides against improving Tomo. Three unrelated girls all having the same previously unseen condition that lets them excel in their chosen fields might get suspicious...
Ultimately, Lucy decides to keep the Dictaphone a secret from Angie for now. She figures it would be fun to see her go through this without knowing why it's happening for now and then let her know at a later date. She pulls out the device and records, "Angie Marsh also has Darwin Syndrome, and today it reveals itself to her. It affects her the same way it does me." she stops and hears the sparkler-sound indicating Angie's life is about to get a hell of a lot more interesting...
Angie pauses for a moment as a strange tingling sensation sweeps through her body, but is gone before she can dwell on it. "Hey Angie! Less daydreaming, more getting a move on!" she hears the familiar Japanese accented voice of Tomo saying to her.
Normally, Angie would take the somewhat aggressive remark in silence, too shy and submissive to stand up for herself, but today something pushes her to reply, "I don't like being talked down to, and I won't tolerate it even from you, Tomo Narazaki. I can't take it anymore, and frankly I shouldn't have to!"
Tomo stares at Angie for a moment in shock before smiling and saying, "Congratulations, Gie! You've finally grown a backbone! Seriously, I'm sorry for putting you down into the dirt. You're right, you shouldn't have to take that kind of crap. Still, we'll be celebrating in detention if we don't get to Miss Carleton's art class immediately." and with that, the two friends pick up the pace to art class, Angie feeling proud of herself for showing some assertiveness.
The friends talk with Lucy during lunch, and Lucy is actually genuinely surprised that Angie admits to feeling something push her to stand up for herself. She congratulates her for doing so while trying to readjust her bra that's bothering her slightly. "I am so gonna be glad to get out of this bra when I get home... It's getting uncomfortable to wear." Lucy mutters.
"Uh, question. Why the hell is Laura not keeping up with you, Lucy? You're like identical twins, right? So shouldn't she also be like you now?" Tomo asks.
"I dunno, but I kind of like it." Lucy answers halfheartedly.
"I'm not complaining..." Arthur pipes up, more than happy to see a taller, bustier version of a girl that doesn't want to sic the school football team on him for her own amusement.
As the day continues, Angie finds it more and more difficult to see... until she removes her glasses to discover her eyesight has actually improved. In fact, by the last class of the day, she's able to easily read the small print in her textbook up close and what's written on the blackboard from the back of the class with the greatest of ease! She doesn't know why she suddenly doesn't need glasses anymore, but is nonetheless happy. She vows to tell Lucy about this while making the excuse of having switched to contacts for anyone who'd bother to ask.
The next morning, Angie feels a little off. She looks in the mirror to find a more attractive Angie Marsh staring back at her, hair a bit longer and like silk. Her face looks like she slept through someone applying makeup to her, though she knows she almost never wears any. What's the point when she's never had much to show off? "Did... I get bit by a radioactive spider or something?" she asks herself, also admiring the slight addition of muscle density in her limbs, making them look more like human limbs than twigs.
The biggest boon is revealed as she removes her night gown to take her shower. "Oh my god... I have BOOBS! I have honest-to-god boobs!" Angie is now the proud owner of A-cup breasts. Still small, but oh so rewarding to feel up in the shower. She also finds her movements to be more nimble, like she could actually... compete with Tomo in gymnastics and possibly beat her if she applies herself. Suspicious, but doesn't quite put much thought into it right now as she gets ready for school.
By the end of the week, Lucy has grown to 5'8" with C-cups while Laura grumbles with jealousy. She was born first, damn it! (barely, but still) Still, she's convinced she'll catch up eventually, though has actually started delving into Lucy's old Goth clothes that she wears less and less. "Thought you hated my Goth clothes? Well you can have 'em if you want, sis!" Lucy says with a Cheshire grin.
"Shut it, Lucy." Laura snaps back.
Angie too has grown considerably in this time, standing 5'2" with smallish B-cups. She and Lucy are the top students in their respective classes without really trying that hard, and Angie has gained the attention of 'hawk-eyes' Macy, the 6'3" founder and head of the top student club along with her friends Chelsea, Cassidy, Hannah, and Rebecca. Within a couple days, Angie was making the whole group put together seem almost childishly dumb. Lucy, not exactly caring that much, fell behind her friend in the test scores but still beating everyone else in her classes.
Soon, a 5'7" C-cup Angie Marsh starts to ponder what is happening to her... and just as quickly has her answer. "I'm... adapting to overcome anything I want... Holy shit, I'm like Doomsday!" she exclaims. She also quickly discerns that her friend Lucy has the same condition, and due to this condition and the super intelligence it's granted her, learns more about what she coincidentally calls Darwin Syndrome than Lucy knows, who of course was the one who made it happen in them and as such hasn't felt any need to learn about it.
By the end of Mr. Jackson's class that she was barely paying attention to, (but aced every question thrown at her anyway) Angie smiles. She will make Vanessa Barnes beg to be around her like she does with Amber and Eden, but as trying to directly beat her may affect her mentally, she'll just do it indirectly... using Mr. Jackson and Miss Carleton as benchmarks to overcome. The only thing that's worrisome is if Lucy's condition tries to make her beat her, as if they start trying to compete with each other...
As worried as she is, Angie still creams her panties with the thought of how crazy things could end up before their conditions decide it untenable to compete... if that would ever happen. "Maybe I should approach Lucy with this..."
