Decades of leaps and bounds of scientific breakthroughs had vastly improved the lives of people around the world. Virtually no disease, more efficient treatments and the ability to create perfectly healthy foods made life on Earth more enjoyable.

Linda was a young, ambitious scientist-to-be. She and her friends were always downloading the newest information on all there was to know. In fact, for the science fair, she had gotten recognized as a promising young mind. Her project was recently featured in the latest journal. "Perfected Dehydration".

Her demonstrations always drew a large crowd. With a single press of a button, Linda was able to take any fruit or vegetable and dehydrate the object down to the size of a pill. In this size, people could not only store food longer, it was easier to transport to the needy in poor countries or survivors of natural disasters. Then, with a single drop of water, the object quickly expands back to its natural state. The more water used, the quicker is re-expanded and the larger to object would become!

1st place. Was there any doubt?

Linda and her friends celebrated as any 16 year old girls would: PARTY!!

Wine coolers, beer, margaritas and vodka shots seemed to soak the girls as they laughed the night away. Then like any other girl's night out, the party ended with the classic game: Truth or Dare. One embarassing secret after another was exposed, their laghter echoed throughout the house. When the dirty secrets were all out, the dares began: Call this person and make a date, go flash the neighbors, let us give you a make over... Classic, harmless fun.

Until the dares started to get more bold. Poor Linda, feeling arrogant for her accomplishment, wasn't backing down from anything. She took on the cinnamon challenge, let her friends pierce her ears with a safety-pin she even did a flaming shot! Her arrogance only grew as she beat every dare thrown at her. Her arrogance would give her the worst night of her life.

Desperate to come up with an idea that Linda would be too afraid to try, inspiration struck in the form of a very bad idea. "Linda... I dare you to eat one of you dehydrated watermelons!"

Despite the alcohol, the girls stopped laughing immediately. Surely Linda would never ingest a whole watermelon, the expansion would rupture her stomach! Linda frowned. She knew very well the consequences of such an act. She at last admitted defeat. It was 3am when the girls all parted ways. Linda staggered upstairs, still tipsy from the party.

She didn't want to get a headache in the morning, she went over to her desk and pulled out a bottle of aspirin. Her shaky hands caused multiple pills to spill out on the floor before her. Annoyed, Linda slowly bent down and scooped up the pills, unaware that one of her dehydrated watermelons had been mixed in by mistake. Linda put a few of the pills back in the bottle, she had 3 left in her hand. Or 2 aspirin and 1 dehydrated watermelon.

Linda went over to her bed, popped the pills in her mouth and downed a bottle of water that was on her night stand. She plopped down face first on her pillow, she was exausted.

However, she found herself feeling sick. She turned over onto her back and started to rub her belly, trying to quell the feeling that overwhelmed her. But the feeling didn't fade, in fact her belly began to feel full. Then it seemed to feel fuller. Linda sat up and looked at her belly, it was bloated. She pressed in and felt her belly give in a little, but it didn't last long. Her sides began to ache as her belly seemed to bloat more. Linda laid back downa dn rubbed her belly more, hoping that the bloat was just the alcohol.

She moaned as her belly grew tighter and fuller. She wrapped the pillow around her head with both hands, her torso twsiting with discomfort. Frustrated, Linda throughher hands back down at her belly as if she could solve a riddle that was brewing inside. But her hands met her flesh sooner than expected. Linda looked down to see a rather heavy looked mass of round flesh resting on top of her abdomen. She pressed all along her belly, feeling how tight it was. Her belly was gurgling and groaning in protest to the massive fruit that was expanding within. It would take days for her body to digest the enormous intruder!

Linda tried to sit up, but the heavy object kept her down on her bed as it swelled larger. Her blouse had popped open from the immense swelling, her large belly exposed to the world. She looked full term with twins.

The watermelon finally reached its peak size. Her belly was heavy and groaning, her flesh pulled tight and abdominal muscles strained to their limits.

Scared and exausted, Linda passed out.

The next day Linda awoke to the massive belly still pressing down on her. She had no choice but to wait for her body to digest the incredible fruit. She looked and felt pregnant for 9 days. Afterward, Linda decided to look for another choice of career.
