She makes it some of the way

Hope stumbled past an ant, regaining her balance by hitting the wall with one hand. She straightened again, shivering a little.

Damn it, she felt so exposed like this. Hope hurried on.

It was up a couple of floors to her room. The only problem was getting there; the machinery took up huge fractions of the building's interior. There were no easy routes around.

There was a stairway, it was just only accessible if she took a long, circuitous path that went past the front door. The glass front door. Her cheeks coloured a little more, even though it was unlikely anyone would be near it.

She just had to avoid the ubiquitous machinery.

She'd made it most of the way to the door when she heard movement. Paranoid due to her current state, Hope stilled.

Was it just an ant? It was strange enough being seen in her underwear by one of them, but at least...

No, that was a voice. Hope muttered a curse; her father was probably back. He couldn't see her like this! She glanced around, opting for a side room. She could wait for him to go past (there was no doubt he'd head for the lab), then head to her room.

Easy. Right?

Swallowing, she ducked into the room.

Despite spending almost all her time in this building these days, she hadn't been in every little corner. She didn't need to; besides, most rooms were nothing but storage areas for the machines that let them shrink the building down and grow it back up again.

Like this one. She frowned, nervously keeping her distance from the machine. It was humming unnervingly.

They'd only had a limited amount of time to get the whole set-up running, not everything was perfect. She just hoped it-

The machine set against the wall sparked, and Hope couldn't help a yelp as the energy hit her bra. She felt a moment of constriction, then a too-familiar sound of tearing as her bra shrunk and fell to tatters.

Flushing deeper, Hope hastily crossed one arm over her chest. Ok, maybe this room wasn't the best place to hide in.

Just so long as her father went by...

The machine sparked again. Well aware of the dangers of the technology, Hope opted to cut her losses, turning-

And tripping as she fell out the door. There was no sudden sense of tightness; if anything the opposite. The energy had hit her panties, but instead of shrinking them they were getting larger, and larger...

Too loose, they fell to the ground, but by then they went up enough that Hope tripped and fell out of them, quickly getting her balance against the opposite wall.

Fuck.

Well, at least they weren't completely gone. Hope reached down, quickly grabbing her now-huge panties and rather than trying somehow to fit her legs into them, opted to instead use it more like a towel, wrapping the soft fabric around herself.

God, she still didn't want to be seen like this, but it was so much better than being naked.

She fidgeted with her panties for a moment, ultimately deciding to turn them upside down. It was wider at what had been the top; she could wrap that around her ass, and keep the gusset up with her chin to hide her chest. Better than having her ass out.

Hope decided to run, hoping she could find a safer room to hide in. Clad in only her panties, now enlarged enough that they could wrap around her, there was still no mistaking her nudity, her sides bare, the edges of her tits sneaking into view as the panties stayed a little loose, and the sheer desperation with which she held it together ensured there was no question.

Just so long as she got to her room without being seen...
