A Spoonful of Sugar

Thank you for all of the feedback. I made some obvious mistakes grammar wise in the first chapter. I didn't realize you can't delete/edit stories once they're posted. My personal and work life is busy, so stories may not come out as often as I want them too. But the positive feedback has definitely motivated me.

I also figured I'd give background to the story name. The name alludes to Mary Poppins. A spoonful in this case is the shovel full of dirt, which loose dirt can be called sugar sand. So "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" would mean digging for treasures is Henry's medicine for a better life. -NC24

Henry dislodged the new box from the ground, and wiped off most of the dirt. This box was about the same size as the first one. Made of wood and this time painted, though some had faded off. It looked newer than it should have considering it was hidden underground for decades.

It was getting late, but Henry didn't care. His mind was racing as to what could be in this box after he found sunglasses that changed his reality in the first one. Finding something better didn't seem possible since his world had been shaken up as to what was possible. This gift could be anything at this point.

If the second gift is better than the first, what the hell could it be

, he thought. Shoes that made him grow taller? A ring that gave him some sort of ability? Maybe a shirt that made him look muscular?

Picking up the box and heading inside, he got to his room silently without waking anyone. He sat the box down on the floor to avoid getting dirt on his bed and opened the lid. Inside was something wrapped in paper with another note sitting on top. Opening up the bag the letter was in and unfolding it, it read:

Box 2 of 3: If you found this box first, please stop reading and find the first box before reading this. Trust me. It's under the front right cottonwood tree in the pasture from the house.

Henry thought to himself how he wouldn't have been able to stop reading, but glad he coincidentally found the first box already. The letter continued a few lines below:

I hope you've followed my instructions. These gifts are better that way. You have a million questions about the glasses, and due to the nature in which I got them, I cannot tell you. You'll just have to accept the fact you have them now. They will help you a bit, but nothing like these next two gifts will. What lies in this box is something you must be careful with. This will help you in more ways than one. As I said before in the first letter, this will change your world as you know it. I'll leave you to figure out how to use it. I love you.

Henry folded up the letter and put it back in the bag for safe keeping. Staring at the wrapping, his mind raced around again. He grabbed the wrapped gift and lifted it out of the box and onto his bed. Unfolding the wrapping, he found himself staring at a small mirror. Henry picked up the mirror and noticed it was folded into multiple parts. When folded up, it was no bigger than a standard hand mirror one would keep in a bathroom drawer, no bigger than a square foot. Henry unfolded the mirror and to the point it was twice as wide and 6 times as long.

He leaned it against the wall, staring at himself in his grandfather's mirror.

What's so special about this? It's just a damn mirror.

He looked disgusted with himself. Unconfident, undergroomed, and just plain underwhelmed with himself. He tried dieting in the past, but working in a kitchen was no help. Last year, he tried going to the gym to get in shape, but he lost motivation a few weeks in. Having the lifestyle he had, Henry couldn't seem to ever get out of a funk. Could never seem to just be better in life, and his grandpa's mirror did him the unwanted favor in reminding him that.

Henry went up closer to the mirror trying to see what was unique about it. He looked around the mirror trying to find anything out of the ordinary. He tapped the glass, even shook it, but nothing happened.

It was nearly 1am, and he was losing patience. He knew something had to be different about this mirror, but fell asleep thinking about it.

The sun was beaming through the bedroom window. Henry lifted his eyes halfway open to look at the clock on his nightstand. 7:50am was shown bright red on the clock.

Surprised anyone let me sleep in this long

, he thought to himself. Getting nearly 7 hours of sleep, Henry felt more rested than he had in three days on the farm. He rest in bed for a few more minutes, but got up to shower and get ready for whatever his family had planned for the day.

Henry walked out to the patio to find his parents, uncle, and aunt chatting under the warm morning sun. The sun was beaming for being nearly 9am, but it was mid June and no clouds in the sky.

"You looked busy last night!" His aunt said with a smile. "I saw your bucket earlier, nice topaz. Your uncle wanted it so badly, but I'll leave that up to you."

"Naw it's fine. He can 'ave it, but if he finds any gold or silver, I'd like a share." His uncle had a tone in his voice that he regretted never digging up his father's belongings.

Early bird gets the worm

, he thought to himself.

"What's the plan today?" Henry asked.

Henry's dad chimed in. He'd been quiet this week for obvious reasons. Everyone was close with their mother, but he was especially. "We figured we'd let you sleep in. You've been up late. Since it's Friday, we wanted to go get some brunch and the girls wanted to do some shopping. Don't forget, tomorrow is your grandmother's service."

Henry's dad, Phil, always came across as a tough guy, but he was taking it worse than the others it seemed. Him and Henry's grandmother talked on a daily basis, so this week was especially hard on him. Henry wanted to give him his space, but was there for him if he needed it. Death was something everyone coped with differently.

His mother and aunt nodded in agreement. They were ready to 'get their shop on' as they'd say.

His uncle was chomping at the bit to go. "Well no time in waitin', let's get after it, I'm starvin'."

Henry remembered his new glasses and went back to the room to grab them. Very curious to see some 'stats' of random women he'd encounter today, he looked at them carefully and noticed they had a double lens. He undid the front lens, which were the tinted ones, and found he could also use these as normal no tint glasses. But they had no magnification. He got back outside, put them on with the tint on, and loaded up in the truck. They headed to a city Henry hadn't been to yet during his stay about an hour away.

Entering the restaurant, Henry took off the tint and wore them as normal glasses. They were greeted by the host. "Hi! Five of you today?"

"Yes please!" Henry's mother replied.

"Okay. Follow me please."

As she turned around, Henry got a good look at her before new words appeared on the lens:

Name: Stacy

Age: 20

Status: In a Relationship

Count: 5

Interest: 2/10

Henry wasn't disappointed with the fact she was not just taken and not interested, but just interested himself in what her stats were. It was so nosy of him. A crazy invasion of privacy, but he didn't care. It was kinda fun.

No harm no foul

, he thought. He decided to tap the glasses once to see if anything would change:

Measurements: 30-24-32

Favorite Position: Cowgirl

Favorite Feature: Beard

Preferred Size: <7 Inches

Best Skill: Riding

So that's how you change that

, Henry thought as they continued to follow Stacy to their table. She was very petite. Must've been a hundred pounds soaking wet, and the only amount of fat on her was a little protruding butt she had. Wasn't that big, but it did well for her very small frame.

"Here you are, Jessica will be right with you," Stacy said as she walked away and Henry looked at the beer menu.

"Holy shit, they have a porter on tap." Henry said aloud. His dad laughed knowing how much Henry hated light beer. Henry continued to look through the drink menu when someone walked up beside him.

"Hi guys, my name is Jessica, what are we drinking this morning?"

Henry looked up at her. She must've been nearly 6 feet tall with long straight black hair and blue eyes. A chest that was barely bigger than her coworkers', but an ass that you could see from across the restaurant. Her bottom was full and perfectly shaped atop long thick legs that were hugged by her dark grey jeans. She looked part Latina, part Caucasian. The words on his lens had popped up, but he didn't even read them yet because he was lost in her beauty.

"I'll take the porter." Henry said. He locked eyes with her as she smiled, but she turned to take the other's orders. Henry took a gander at her bio as she took everyone's drink order:

Name: Jessica

Age: 29

Status: Married

Count: 12

Interest: 0/10

Measurements: 32-28-40

Favorite Position: Doggy

Favorite Feature: Abs

Preferred Size: >7 Inches and thick

Best Skill: Deepthroating

Henry tried hard to not get excited. Out of the first four women he 'looked up', Jessica, according to her info, was the most experienced. The thought of her doing what Henry knew she was capable of made him readjust in his seat. It had been a bit since he got laid, and he was starting to get to the point where he craved some bedroom action.

"Alright thanks guys, I'll be back shortly with your drinks and to take your orders." Their waitress walked away and Henry could not help but stare at her ass as she went. He was almost fully hard, but not that anyone would notice. He wasn't anything to write home about down there.

The family spent the rest of their time at the restaurant socializing and eating. Henry kept fantasizing about Jessica, but it was no use just thinking of her. Married and with zero interest, he slowly forgot about her as they finished up and got back into the truck.

They headed off for the shopping mall to spend the rest of the afternoon. Henry made an excuse to go off and explore on his own, but the only exploring he was doing was being nosy as he started to call it. It was busy seeing how it was Friday afternoon, so there was plenty of girls to look at. He walked through the mall, looking at girls as they walked past him:

Name: Kendra

Age: 22

Status: In a relationship

Count: 6

Interest: 1/10

Measurements: 34-28-36

Favorite Position: Doggy

Favorite Feature: Eyes

Preferred Size: 6-8 inches

Best Skill: Dirty Talk

Her friend was walking right next to her:

Name: Alyse

Age: 21

Status: Single

Count: Virgin

Interest: 4/10

Measurements: 36-26-32

Favorite Position: N/A

Favorite Feature: Abs

Preferred Size: N/A

Best Skill: N/A

Henry was surprised with Alyse being a virgin. Both girls were cute, but Alyse a little more so. He continued walking, smiling because he was in reality, but felt like a video game. Quite a few paces ahead, there was another girl walking with her man:

Name: Monica

Age: 34

Status: In a relationship

Count: 21

Interest: 0/10

Measurements: 38-30-36

Favorite Position: Reverse Cowgirl

Favorite Feature: Shoulders

Preferred Size: >5 Inches and Thick

Best Skill: Pleasing

Henry was beginning to be overwhelmed. He was having a lot of fun, but this could get old really quickly. The more women he looked at, the more he got disappointed that no girl he found attractive was even remotely interested in him besides Alyse. He didn't want to be picky, but he didn't want a virgin either. He wanted someone with some experience.

He continued to walk through the mall for another hour, looking at shops and girls, but eventually found his way back to his dad and uncle. They were in the outdoors store looking at whatever they could to pass the time while their wives got their shopping fix in.

"Hey buddy, we're going to head to the bar and watch the game, wanna come along?" Henry's dad looked more alive than he had all week. "Your mother and aunt are gonna be awhile, and we can only do so much mall shopping in one day."

Henry nodded in agreement, and they found a place called Brad's Bar & Tap. Upon sitting down at the bar, they were greeted by their male bartender, which Henry was a little disappointed with. They ordered beers and watched the Mariners play the Astros. The Mariners were Henry's team since he grew up in Washington, but he didn't follow them all that closely.

"Whaddaya think so far Henry?" His uncle said. "Ya like this place better than home?" His uncle wanted Henry to move back to South Dakota to find a career, but Henry never had any interest. It was too flat for him. He enjoyed mountains and the ocean. And the beer a little more too.

"A lot more women on the west coast uncle. Seems all the ones around here are taken," Henry joked.

"Then why the hell ya still single?" His uncle poked back at him. He hit a nerve in Henry, but Henry shook it off.

"A change of scenery would be nice, but maybe I'll figure that out when I get home. I want to enjoy my time here before I start thinking about any changes." Henry liked where he lived, but a change of scenery never hurt. If he had all the money in the world, he'd just travel the world, flying by the seed of his pants.

They continued to chat and watch the game, which was a blowout in the Astros favor. Finishing up their second round of drinks, Henry's mom and aunt came into the bar.

"I knew we'd find you here!" His mother said with shit eating grin on her face.

"Finally done shopping? Or do you have to wait until Lululemon restocks after you bought everything in there?" His dad was a jokester too at times.

"Ha ha very funny. Finish up your drinks and lets get home."

They arrived home in the late afternoon. Henry and his dad helped his uncle with some cleaning in the barn, and did some tinkering with the four-wheelers and side by side. The evening continued as normal. Supper was delicious as usual and they watched television before turning into bed.

Henry got back into his room, turning in after a long night. He was curious about the 3rd gift, but between the long day and the fact the mirror seemed like nothing special, he was unmotivated. However, as he walked into his room, he noticed something different about the mirror. The mirror, still leaned up against the wall where he left it the previous night, showed the word

EDIT

on the top left corner.

He closed the door behind him and locked it, his heart rate starting to increase a little bit. Walking up to the mirror, it dared him to press it.

What the hell. Why wouldn't this work earlier?

Henry mumbled to himself. Then it dawned on him. He took the glasses off. They were so comfortable he forgot he was even wearing them. Now, nothing was on the glass, just like before. Putting the glasses back on,

EDIT

appeared back on the same corner.

He tapped the word on the mirror, and the image of his naked body froze into the mirror. He could rotate it, zoom in and out, and there were now buttons on every part of his body.

He pressed on his head, then it zoomed in. Options appeared next to his now zoomed in head:

Hair

Eyes

Beard

Mouth

Skin

Henry, stunned at what he was looking at, hit

Beard

and more options showed up:

Style

Length

Color

Thickness

He touched

Style

and a plethora of options presented themselves. He scrolled through them like he was using a giant tablet and pressed

Viking

since it sounded ridiculous. The image of his face now had a long braided beard that looked impressive. Henry could grow a beard, but never cared much to. He looked down and didn't notice anything different about himself, only that the mirror showed any change. In the upper right hand corner,

Save

was now showing, so Henry pressed that and his changes were now saved.

But he still looked the same in reality.

Underneath

Save

, now appeared

Restore to Default

. Henry hit that button then went back to his full body and looked for more options. There were

Height

and

Weight

buttons underneath where

Edit

was. Displaying both 5'8" and 209 lbs, there was a slider underneath. Henry went for the weight and scaled it back to 170 lbs. His body looked great in the mirror now with flat stomach. although still nothing in his actual body. His stomach hadn't been that flat since his sophomore year in high school. He then scaled height up to 6'1". Naturally, weight went up to about 182 lbs.

He clicked on his arms and edited his muscle mass to show some great definition. Then the did same to his stomach and pretty soon his entire body was looking like a gym athlete. He wanted to look lean, but muscular. He didn't like the look of a big steroid looking guy with massive arms, tree trunks for legs, and shoulders so big you could barely see their neck. He just wanted to be physically fit, but still show off a bit. His weight was now back up to 201 lbs with the newly added muscle.

Henry even went back to the beard option and gave himself a short, full beard, and nicely even.

Who he saw in the mirror was a version of himself he could never even dream of. Henry was obviously straight, but the man staring back at him now in the mirror was just a straight up handsome guy. Hell, he was a

hunk

, as dumb as that word sounded.

So I just get to edit myself in the mirror? How the hell can I make this a reality?

Henry stared at himself in the mirror for a while longer, just thinking of the possibilities of what women he could pull with a body like this.

Alright, one more thing to edit

, he said to himself, and pressed on his groin.

His cock zoomed in, but being fully erect instead of flaccid, and a few more options appeared on the left hand side. But not before making sure the door was still locked:

Length

Thickness

Hair

More Options

First, he clicked on length. His current length said 5.2". He moved the slider all the way to 12" which was the maximum. It looked just plain ridiculous, but made Henry chuckle to himself. He laughed even harder when he zoomed back out and saw his whole body. Zooming back in, he changed it to 8". If he learned anything from the bios he saw from the aviators, it was most women would love 8". But some definitely thought that was too much. He scaled the thickness up pretty high, around eight-five percentile. It was too alien looking having it at maximum thickness, and he laughingly didn't want to hurt anyone. Henry's member was now looking incredible.

But he wasn't done yet. He was having too much fun.

He edited the hair to be bald on the shaft and balls, but very short trimmed above his shaft. He even straightened the shaft out a bit. He leaned a little right before. But now his length was straight to angled slightly upwards. And to finish things off, Henry widened the bottom of the head a bit too. Now looking more like a mushroom top.

This thing was

thick

.

The only thing left in this category was to find out what was under

More Options

. Upon clicking the button, some interesting options appeared:
