Once everyone had come back to their senses, they all huddled around Clara. Clara was putting on one of Jack's oversized jackets to cover her new assets and Sarah was off retrieving the meteorite from her tent.
As the team gathered around her, Clara felt a bit intimidated. Everyone was looking at her like she was an alien from a far away land.
'It's kind of a funny story, but first Sarah's bringing over what we think is the culprit.' Clara said, looking over her shoulder to see Sarah carrying the meteorite in her busted shirt to refrain from touching it.
'The culprit?' Haley asked. Haley was an older researcher and the leader of the team. She looked at the two women with great skepticism.
'This is it. It's a meteorite that we found in our dig site. We cracked it open and it had a peculiar liquid inside. We decided to keep it to ourselves to study further.' Sarah explained, showing everyone the space rock.
'You do realise we're here to research this area - including meteorites?' Hayley scowled. 'You should of reported it.'
'We know, it was stupid. It just seemed so strange and we both just became obsessed.' Clara said, looking down.
'Meteorites do not cause dramatic lactation like this, ladies.' Hayley said in a matter of fact tone. 'And just one case of this happening does not prove such a correlation.
Clara looked up at Sarah, hoping she'd back her up.
'Well, not just one case. My breasts also grew, Hayley. Not to the explosive extent of Clara's - but still.' Sarah explained, lifting her shirt to reveal her new perky F cups. The site of Sarah's full bust was met with gasps from the men in the research team. Hayley just rolled her eyes.
'Ladies, this is ridiculous. Have you taken some dodgy pills from the internet? Or are you allergic to something?'
Sarah and Clara both looked at each other, knowing full well it was the meteorite that caused their unnatural expansion.
'Hayley, we both studied the same degree as you. We're as confused as you. Hell I was so skeptical I licked the bloody thing to prove Sarah wrong and look what happened to me!' Clara said, frustrated with Hayley's skepticism.
'I believe them!' Jack suddenly piped up.
Everyone turned and looked at Jack, who looked quite nervous to stand up to Hayley in such a way.
'Of course you do, Jack. I'm sure your intentions are so pure!' Hayley said, in a not so subtle snarky tone. 'We all saw your raging boner when Clara was about to burst! Pervert!'
Sarah scoffed. She couldn't believe the hostility coming from a normally placid woman.
'Hayley, do you honestly believe anything on this planet could cause a woman's chest to grow so rapidly and so large that she almost explodes? Because In all of my years studying biology, I have never heard anything of the sort.' Jack snapped back.
A silence came over the camp. Hayley simply glared at Jack, then to Clara and Sarah.
'I'm going to bed. I don't want to hear anymore of this nonsense. Put the meteorite in our crate for transportation to the museum. We need to pick up the pace tomorrow. These two have slowed us down.' Hayley said, walking off towards her tent.
Sarah sighed. She wasn't sure why Hayley was so angry about their discovery. She wondered if Hayley secretly knew the money making potential such a rock could have. The amount of women who would pay thousands to have their breasts enlarged so rapidly. Hell, if they could synthesis the chemical makeup of the meteorite's liquid it could be sold in pill form! The opportunities are endless.
Everyone followed Hayley's lead and began to turn in for the night. Clara decided to go with Sarah to her tent for a while. They couldn't just let this go. They decided to defy Hayley and continue to study the meteorite themselves. They both knew the huge potential of their discovery.
'Why is she being a massive bitch?!' Clara whispered in the safety of their tent.
'Because she's jealous. We're younger than her, we're recent graduates and we've discovered something new, something that can have unlimited potential - something that gave us some of the best damn tiddies I ever saw!'
'True. Very true... Sarah, are we going to be rich?' Clara asked, her eyes widening.
'Maybe. If we can keep this in our control. We need to document everything for legal purposes. I think it could get messy.'
Suddenly they were startled by a sound outside their tent. Footsteps, coming closer and closer.
'Guys!' A familiar voice whispered.
'Uhhh, Jack?' Sarah whispered back.
'Yeah, you still up for that game of Uno?'
'Uhhhh...sure, come in!' Sarah whispered, giving Clara a strange look.
Jack unzipped the tent and rolled in. Suddenly things became a bit more cozy with the three of them in a medium sized tent.
'Howdy!'
'Howdy yourself!' Sarah said, watching him awkwardly find a place to sit.
'So, what a bitch -huh?' Jack said, referring to Hayley.
