Well, here's the second part of the Alex in Muscleland for your reading pleasure. Thank you to all those who commented before. I really appreciate it!

Chapter Two: The Pool of Sweat and a Caucus Race

With the consumption of all those pills, Alex soon started feeling the effects. His body felt warm all over, making his head swim as he stumbled slightly the floor feeling like it was shifting. Alex then suddenly heard a strange rushing sound coming from somewhere. He looked around dizzily trying to see where the sound was coming from. Suddenly he felt a strange sensation over his body, like tiny hoses were pushing out of his skin. He looked at himself and saw that his veins were slowly rising from under his skin, the rushing sound his own blood flowing through those engorging veins, feeding his muscles as they started to expand. In his somewhat drugged haze, Alex was aware of his body changing, but not to what extent. He groggily looked down his arms as the biceps swelled up past his anything his modest skinny arms had ever had, his triceps pushing out in concert with his forearms as they thickened, his hands broadening. A ripping sound drew his attention down to his white and blue shirt which was riding up showing his flat stomach cobbling with abs (first just two, then four, then six) while the seams around his broadening shoulders came undone. By this time the drug like haze that had settled over Alex?s mind was lifting and his vision became much clearer. Looking over himself he was surprised to see his clothes weren?t growing with him! Whatever was in the pills that had made him shrink wasn?t present in the pills that were making him grow. He smiled as he flexed his rising bicep, something he?d never been able to do before. He looked down and was met with tightly stretched blue and white material completely blocking his view of anything below it. He grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled it down, intending to see his chest bare but instead tearing the rest of the shirt clean off. He started to notice as well that his once pale skin was bronzing giving him the natural look of someone who spends time in the sun but isn?t leathery with it. His chest was like two beach balls stuffed under his skin, the valley between them deep enough to get a fist caught in. To be able to hold such a huge amount of meat on his front, his back swelled and unfolded, pushing into a powerful shape. Bending down, Alex managed to see past his pecs enough to see his feet bursting from his shoes. This made him do a double take with such speed he crashed down onto his butt. He wasn?t just growing more muscular, he was growing taller! His mind momentarily shifted focus from his bulging calves and swelling thighs to his lengthening legs that were stretching across the woodwork of the floor. His feet had shed the socks he had been wearing as well as his shoes freeing his feet from sweaty confines the sweat cooling in this cooler room. Alex was about to heave himself to his feet (his muscles starting to stop growing) but stopped when he noticed something odd. He put his foot next to the little glass table and was surprised by how small it looked next to him. He quickly stood up and almost instantly came back down onto his butt as his hand smashed into one of the lamps on the ceiling. Alex looked around in dismay as his body continued growing, slowly but surely trapping him inside the room. He finally seemed to stop growing when his toes were pressing into the opposite wall, his head was pressing against the ceiling, and his arms were forcibly folded across his enormous chest. Well, he had half of what he had always wanted. He was probably the most muscular sixteen-year old in the world, but he was now far too big! Even using all the strength he had, no amount of pushing against the walls or ceiling caused it to split or break. It was almost as though the room had been made especially to withhold someone of similar size and strength.

Alex felt like he was in a hopeless situation. No one knew where he was (he didn?t even know where he was really), he was trapped, and he was too big to be allowed in any kind of society setting. The last one didn?t bother him as much, but it was still a veritable fact. As Alex sat trapped, looking over his unfamiliar body, he started wondering who he was really.

?I mean, I know I?m Alex Liddel?right??

He looked himself over again and thought to himself, ?Alex Liddel is sixteen?so am I. Alex Liddel is in high school...me too. Alex Liddel is skinny and of average height?well I?m certainly not that.?

But that was still two out of three. And really, if he wasn?t Alex Liddel then who was he? He started making a list of the various people he knew and comparing them to himself.

?There?s Seth, but I can?t be him because he?s really fat. I can?t be Mike since he?s really mean and likes to bully people. Jack, Jim, and John are triplets so I can?t be either of them since I?m only one person??

After listing everyone he knew he came to the final conclusion that he was indeed still Alex Liddel and not someone else despite how he may look. As he came to this conclusion he tried shaking his hair out of his eyes since it had plastered wetly on his forehead. Wait a minute?wetly?

Alex looked up and saw that the lamps that were hanging from the ceiling were all turned on! While he had been so focused on figuring out who he was the lamps had turned on beating heat down onto Alex?s huge body. Beads of sweat were forming and running down his muscles, dripping down onto the floor with soft pattering sounds. Alex now knew what this place reminded him of: a sauna. Now that the lamps were on, the picture was complete, and temperature was rising exponentially. Alex started breathing more heavily as the room became muggier than it had been outside. More and more sweat dripped off of Alex onto the floor as Alex wondered what was going to become of him in this cramped place. A lamp was directly over his head making it swim. Just when Alex felt like he was going to faint from the heat, he heard a door open and saw the strange man (whom he took to be White Rabit) walk in, his leather pants replaced with a tight fitting speedo. This reminded Alex of his own clothing predicament and looked down at himself. The briefs he had been wearing were gone replaced with a blue speedo with a design on the crotch featuring a pair of arms flexed in the shape of a heart. That was another thing to add to his growing list of strange things in this place. White had a pair of sunglasses on as well as a reflector under his arm obviously looking to spend some time in this sauna.

?Ahh?The Queen isn?t expecting me for another few hours. Lucky me?.?

He stopped dead as he saw the enormous Alex crammed into the sauna. His mouth opened in surprise.

Alex smiled rather sheepishly and said, ?Uh?hi.?

The man just turned tail and ran, shouting, ?I knew I shouldn?t have left those pills lying around!?

The door slammed shut behind him leaving Alex alone once again. Alex sighed and saw that White had dropped the reflector when he ran. Alex picked it up and found it was small, but big enough to use as a little fan. He waved it over his face sighing as the sweat cooled on his face. He closed his eyes and just relaxed, his body feeling looser as the cool pleasure flowed over him. A few seconds of this was all Alex had before he felt a strange wetness around his legs. His eyes flew open and he was shocked to see he had somehow started shrinking again! He was about a foot tall and slowly sinking into a pool of his own sweat! His muscles had shrunk back down to a more normal size, though they were still quite a bit more defined than they'd been previously. Alex had about a swimmer's build and his speedo remained, changing with him. His body, however, was still getting smaller. He scrambled to his feet and slipped in his sweat, falling forward and splashing into the warm salty pool. When his head broke the surface again his feet were no longer touching the ground and he was treading water totally. Looking around, he spotted a small dry area and swam toward it. It Alex about ten minutes to make it to land and by that time he was feeling exhausted. He flopped onto the ground and just lay still, panting. When he felt more rested he got to his feet and looked around. The bizarre sauna had disappeared replaced with a veritable ocean all around the little spit of land Alex was now on. This wasn?t as surprising to Alex as it normally would?ve been since stranger things had been happening. He only wondered what was going to happen next.

His wondering mind wouldn?t have to wonder much longer as there was suddenly motion all around him. From seemingly nowhere a group of wet looking kids around his age (with builds varying from slightly defined to a bit bigger than Alex) were running around the island with an enormous man seated on a rock in the center. He was watching the kids run with a grin on his face shouting out comments like, ?Faster! Don?t slow down or you?ll get left behind!? and ?You can?t get dry without running!?

Alex found this man on the rock as nice to look at as Mr. White Rabit was. He was a little shorter than White and was better dressed. He was wearing an open button down black shirt revealing his abs and chest along with a pair of black denim jeans. His hair was a little longer than shoulder length and black as night. His skin was darker than White?s and on his feet was a pair of sandals. He seemed completely normal?until you looked at his back. There seemed to be wings protruding from his back, but when Alex looked closer he saw they were merely fabricated. There were clear wooden handles the man could slip his arms into to flap them though Alex severely doubted he would get off the ground. Then again, stranger things had happened.

As he watched this strange scene the man?s eyes focused on Alex and his grin grew wider, if possible. He jumped up and pointed a finger at Alex and shouted, ?New meat!?

Instantly one of the boys in the running circle grabbed Alex and pushed him ahead, forcing him into a run.

?What are you doing?? Alex shouted out in surprise.

?It?s a Caucus Race!? The man shouted. ?We?re all wet and the only way to get dry is to run, run, run!?

?Can?t we just lay out in the sun or something?? Alex cried out desperately.

The man shook his head wildly and shouted, ?No sir! Running is the only way!?

Alex was about to protest when the boy behind him whispered, ?Just do what he says. He?s a little crazy.?

Alex looked a little wary and asked, ?What do you mean crazy??

The boy in front turned his head slightly and said, ?Don?t worry, he?s not dangerous crazy. More like?stupid crazy.?

The boy behind him continued, ?He?s always doing weird things like this. See those wings on his back? He built those himself thinking he could fly.?

?Most of his solutions are nuts but they usually get the job done in the end.? The boy ahead said.

?And when he gets an idea in his head, he has a one track mind.? The boy behind finished.

Alex thought about that for a minute. He could be in trouble. Before he could ask another question, the man shouted, ?No more talking! I?ve been watching you three! Talking doesn?t get anything dry!?

?What if you?re telling a very boring story?? One of the boys shouted.

?What about it?? The man shouted back.

?If someone dryly tells a dry story don?t you get dry?? The boy asked.

The man seemed to think about it for a moment before shouting, ?He may be right! Does anyone know a dry story??

No one said anything and the man shouted, ?Then keep running and keep your ?brilliant? ideas running with you!?

?Stupid Dodo?? one of the boys muttered.

Alex said, ?Dodo?? in a confused voice.

The boy behind him said, ?Yeah, it?s what everyone calls him. His real name is Edward Oswald Doe. But since he?s a little?out there to put it nicely, we take of the ?ward? and ?E?, shorten Oswald to just ?O? and use his last name, Doe. That gives you Dodo. Good name huh??

From Alex had seen, he had to agree. After running for a further ten minutes, when everyone was starting to get winded, Dodo hooked his arms into his wings and shouted, ?Now that we?re all dry, I bid you farewell!?

He started flapping the wings and jumped off the rock. At first Alex thought he?d actually start flying, but he was just a good jumper. He managed to clear the area between rock and water and splashed hugely, dousing everyone except Alex (who had jumped out of the way) in cold water. Dodo ran back onto land, shaking the hair out of his eyes and shouted, ?Back to running boys! We?re all still wet!?

The boys groaned and started running again, while Dodo took his place on the rock. Alex slowly backed away, glancing behind him. He didn?t want to have to start running again and was looking for a way out. Luckily, there appeared to be a path that had appeared suddenly. Not questioning this fortuitous turn of events, Alex ran down the path away from the shouting Dodo and the panting boys.
