There's always an even bigger...

“Eight, nine, come on just one more, you can do it." Cheryl's cheerful Geordie voice continued to offer encouragement to Sarah Harding as lay on a specialty reinforced weight bench, struggled to finish her latest set of bench presses. With a final heave Sarah forced the massive barbell up and locked her arms, before racking the weight with difficulty. The heavy duty supports groaned a little as the 1250 kgs she'd been pressing settled into them, the thick metal bar bending under the strain. Cheryl clapped her hands in congratulations and stepped back as the muscle bound blond eased herself off the bench, nodding approvingly as she did so. "Well done pet, that's another personnel best. Looks like all your hard work is paying off."

It was true. In the last few months training with Cheryl the former party girl had made great progress. Her lifts had more than doubled and were now firmly into superhuman levels. Indeed she was now only a little bit behind her former bandmate. Sarah body had of course grown significantly from all this hard work, she was now a towering 7’10”, with arms bigger than a normal man's thighs and legs like telephone poles. "So have you heard anything from the others?" Sarah asked as she rubbed herself down with a towel, wiping away the sweat of her workout.

"No much I'm afraid," replied the huge Geordie as she lead the way out of the gym towards her kitchen. "Nadine is still busy with her interests in America, I heard from somewhere she's opening a gym now as well. Kimberley's been doing a lot of charity work recently although there was a story a while back about her accidentally destroying a bike during a sponsored cycle." Cheryl started pulling chicken breats out of her fridge for a post workout meal, then paused as she suddenly remembered something. "Actually it's funny you should mention the others, I got a text from Nicola last night. She's in town at the moment, got some awards show to go to tonight. Said we could pop over and see her before she heads out, if you want?"

"Yea let's do that, It'll be good to see with Nicola again." Sarah replied, while thinking to herself "And I can show her just how big and strong I am now!" After the two muscle-bound women had finished their meal (which contained enough meat to feed a normal person for several days) they squeezed themselves into Cheryl's Range Rover and set off. As it weaved its way through the busy London traffic Sarah, crammed into the back of the large vehicle, smiled ruefully as she thought about her former bandmate. "Skinny little Nicola. Do you remember how shy she was when we first started? Always hiding at the back, bairly speaking during interviews. I bet she's just the same now."

Up front in her custom oversized seat Cheryl wasn't quite so sure. "She became a lot more confident once she gave up the fake tan and started feeling comfortable in her own skin. And don't forget all the solo stuff she did while we were on out break. I think you might be in for a surprise." Eventually they arrived outside a large modern looking three story house and extracted themselves from the (to them rather cramped) 4x4. Cheryl lead the way up to the door and rang the bell. In response a voice with a familiar Scouse accent called out from inside. "I'm in the basement just finishing getting ready to go out. Make yourselves at home, I'll be up in a minute."

"Screw that," Sarah commented, spotting an open door that obviously lead to the basement. She strode confidently forwards and started clumping loudly down the stairs, calling out as she did so. "I'm coming down, got something exciting to show you. Hope you're decent!" Although if she had been paying more attention Sarah might have noticed just how big the stairway was. At the bottom of the stairs she stepped through an open door, all ready to flaunt how big she was. However to her surprise Sarah found herself in a large and well equipped gym, and with a shock she suddenly realised the giant woman standing in the  middle of the room was Nicola!

Sarah stared in horror at the figure before her. She thought Cheryl was big, but Nicola made even the massive Gordie look small. Standing over nine foot tall, her head looked positively tiny next to her gargantuan shoulders. Despite her vast size the crimson haired woman's long legs still managed to look elegant, although they were wider that most men. However her upper body was simply immense, every muscle bulging to obscene size. Nicola had on a huge red dress that would probably have served as a tent for a normal sized person, but even so it was stretched tight across her overdeveloped chest and back. Sarah's jaw dropped as she belatedly registered the numbers stamped on the immense weights. 2000kgs EACH! Nicola was casually curling the equivalent of a Land Rover in each hand, and she wasn't even straining!  Her forearms were both as thick as drainage pipes and covered in veins, but even these were merely a prelude to the vast pale mountains that swelled from the Nicola's arms with each curl. Bigger than any biceps Sarah had ever seen they dominated her upper arms, and were marched by a pair of similarly massive triceps on the underside. The result was two gigantic arms bigger than car tires, each possessing a truly terrifying amount of power.

The hint of a smile appeared on Nicola's lips as she watched Sarah staring at her. "I'm so glad you managed to make it in time," she said conversationally, her voice far more confident than Sarah had ever heard her before with just a hint of victory. "I was just halving a 'little' pump before I heading out." The blond barely registered her comment as she continued to stare at her former band mate, totally overwhelmed by her size. Eventually Sarah groaned in frustration. "Oh come on, not again!!!!"

This was supposed to be my entry for the 's January contest, and it has been something of a nightmare! It took me ages to find suitable source pictures, and even then I wasn't completely happy with what I had to use. And even once I started I had a massive struggle trying to match up the skin colors and ultimately I'm still not happy with it. If anyone knows a good way to match skin in GIMP please let me know!

The story is a a sequel to /'s 'There is always a bigger...' picture grimmtoof.deviantart.com/art/T…, and written with 's approval. I hope you enjoy it, and apologies to any Sarah Harding fans out there. I'm afraid that Nicola was always going to end up bigger, she is after all my favorite.
