Really Big Business

(BiggerBetterBarbie)


Sakura and Tomoyo stood eagerly outside the front doors of the Daidouji Mansion. The two girls watched as the butler opened the back door of the limosuine and Tomoyo's mother, Sonomi, stepped out. Sonomi was wearing one of her usual red business suits with black high heels (from episode 10 to be precise). Tomoyo ran towards her mother quickly.
"Welcome home, Mother!" Tomoyo shouted as she wrapped her arms around her mother's waist.
"Oh! Hello, Tomoyo." Sonomi said. She kneeled down so that Tomoyo could hug her around the shoulders.
"I'm sorry for running up to you like that. I missed you so much." Tomoyo said.
"I know, it's okay. I have been gone for a while, Mommy's been so busy lately." Sonomi said. She then looked behind Tomoyo where she saw Sakura standing.
"Oh? I see Sakura is here." Sonomi said.
"Yeah! I convinced her to sleep over for the weekend." Tomoyo said. Sonomi stood back up and walked towards Sakura.
"Welcome, Sakura. I hope Tomoyo has been treating you well." Sonomi said.
"Oh… of course! I still can't get over how big your place is and how nice everyone is!" Sakura said.
"I'm glad to hear it. Now come, I'd like the three of us to have tea together." Sonomi said.
"Yay!" Tomoyo said as she, Sakura, Sonomi, and her bodyguards and maids all walked back inside the mansion.

A few minutes later, the three were sitting together at a table drinking small cups of tea. Sakura and Tomoyo talked about what had been going on in recent times, including with regards to the Clow Cards. You see, in this alternate reality, Sonomi is fully aware of Sakura's duties as a CardCaptor, going around and recapturing the Clow Cards before they can spread their havoc across all of Japan.
"And then Sand turned into a pool of quicksand, threatening to swallow Sakura and Syaoran! But Sakura tricked it by shooting it with water and then freezing it, allowing her to capture it!" Tomoyo said.
"Oh wow! That sounded like a tough battle!" Sonomi said.
"Nah… it kinda felt like one of the easier ones. Now the one called Fight… that was pretty tricky." Sakura said.
"Hmmm… Sand. Fight. Water. Is there nothing these Clow Cards can't do?" Sonomi said.
"It sure feels that way, especially with 52 of these cards." Sakura said.
"And there are two that I really REALLY like. Big and Little." Tomoyo said. Sakura gasped and tried to cover her friend's mouth.
"Oh? Big and Little?" Sonomi asked.
"Oh… they're nothing really. Nothing worth talking about!" Sakura said.
"Please. I would like to hear more about them." Sonomi said. As Tomoyo fought to move Sakura's hand away from her mouth, Sakura knew she was going to find out one way or the other eventually, and so she sighed and finally took the hand back.

"Well, these cards live up to their name. One makes the user gigantic; at least 100 feet tall, while the other shrinks that user to a tiny size. I would say 3 inches tall or less if the user chooses." Sakura said.
"Teehee, yeah! One time Sakura had to grow big to keep a giant dragon from entering the city!" Tomoyo said.
"No kidding? Surely a lot of people must've seen that!" Sonomi said.
"Actually, nobody else. This battle happened late at night when we were all supposed to sleep. I've got it all on film, of course!" Tomoyo said.
"Haha… of course. That's my aspiring little movie producer." Sonomi said with a smile as she petted her daughter on the head. Sonomi then got to thinking while the other girls sipped their tea. She then turned around at the few maids and butlers that were standing behind the table.
"Excuse me, would you all give us the room for a few minutes? I wish to discuss a private matter with the children." Sonomi said.
"As you wish, Madame Daidouji." one of the butlers said before he, the other butler, and the maids all walked out of the room, leaving the three ladies all to themselves.

Naturally, Sakura and Tomoyo wondered what was going on, especially as Sonomi looked straight into Sakura's eyes.
"Sakura… tell me. Can you cast your Clow Card magic onto other people?" Sonomi said.
"Sure, it's no problem. Why?" Sakura asked.
"What I'm about to tell you two needs to stay between the three of us. Is that understood?" Sonomi said with a somewhat stern look on her face all of a sudden.
"Yes, Mother." Tomoyo said.
"Good. I've been spending the last couple of weeks trying to buy this other major toy company. Every time I feel like I get close to sealing the deal, they come up with some other offer that benefits them more than me. It's been driving me crazy. It's almost like they still want to spill blood and keep competing with my company. Yet I don't want them to drive themselves out of business. They have toys that could benefit many people, especially children… sick children too. I feel like it's time I played hardball with these suits. Sakura…" Sonomi said.
"Yes?" Sakura said. Sonomi took a deep breath and then gently held Sakura's hands.
"Can you use this Big card to enlarge me to a gigantic size? I feel like these guys need to see who the big fish really is." Sonomi said. Sakura opened her mouth wide, shocked at the kind of request she was getting. Tomoyo, on the other hand…
"Wow!? Mom growing to giant size with the Big card? That'd be SO AWESOME!!!" Tomoyo shouted.
"Shhhhh… not so loud, Tomoyo." Sonomi said, thinking of the maids and butlers outside.
"Oops… sorry." Tomoyo said.
"R-r-really, Mrs. Daidouji? Don't you think maybe this is going too far?" Sakura asked, while Sonomi shook her head.
"Not at all. To literally tower over my competition… it's something I've dreamed I could do for years. I feel like this is the only way to get my point across." Sonomi said.
"Come on, Sakura. It will be fun! Besides… it's not like what you do is completely a secret. Some of the kids are still talking about that day when the Fiery card tried to burn some places down." Tomoyo said. Sakura thought Tomoyo made a good point. A few of the cards have made brief headlines in the media (at least in this reality ^_____^)… they'd probably chalk a giant businesswoman, especially one as well known as Sonomi, as nothing out of the ordinary.
"Okay, Mrs. Daidouji. I will help you." Sakura said. Sonomi then got up from her chair and ran over to Sakura to hug her.
"Yes! Thank you thank you thank you, Sakura!" Sonomi said.
"Er… no problem!" Sakura said.
"My next meeting with this company is not until 9:00 tomorrow morning, so we'll get started then. I better go tell my driver there's going to be a change of plans." Sonomi said as she walked away from Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Wow… tomorrow's going to be so exciting!" Tomoyo said.
"Tomoyo, just admit it. You love giantesses, don't you?" Sakura said.
"Well… only two in particular. You and Mom. A giant Meiling… now there’s a scary thought!" Tomoyo said with a cute smile.
"Eh heh heh…" Sakura said as sweatdrops rained down the side of her head. The two girls as well as Sonomi went on with the rest of their day.

The next morning, with the time approaching 9:00, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Sonomi all made their way to the backyard of the mansion. Once again Sonomi had to usher away any maids or butlers in the area. Tomoyo and Sakura were both dressed in their school uniforms while Sonomi was back in her red business suit from yesterday (after changing out of her nightgown).
"Teehee… they're going to be in for a big surprise in a few seconds!" Tomoyo said as she readied the camera in her hand.
"And it'll make a great movie, right?" Sakura said with an innocent smile. She then looked at Sonomi.
"Anyway, are you ready, Mrs. Daidouji?" Sakura asked.
"Almost. I just have to make sure they're ready at the office." Sonomi said. She then reached into one of the pockets of her suit and pulled out a cell phone. After dialing the number, she held the phone up to her ear.
"Hello, Rumiko? Is the entire board there? Okay, good. Tell them to make their way to the helipad on the roof… Yes, you heard me… Just tell them I have a really big surprise in store. Alright. Don't worry, I'll be there in a few minutes. Okay, bye." Sonomi said as she hung up the phone and put it back in her pocket. She then took a deep breath, clutched her hands into fists, and looked at Sakura.
"Sakura… this won't hurt, will it?" Sonomi asked.
"No, not at all. And everything you're wearing will grow with you." Sakura said.
"Everything, right?" Sonomi said. Sakura could easily tell Sonomi was nervous.
"Mrs. Daidouji, are you feeling alright? We don't have to do this…" Sakura said.
"No. I'm just… well, a little nervous. I mean… I've never been a giantess before." Sonomi said.
"Teehee… trust me, Mom. You're absolutely going to love it!" Tomoyo said.
"Okay, Tomoyo. Just make sure you're filming the whole thing!" Sonomi said.
"Okay, action!" Tomoyo shouted.

As Sonomi took another deep breath and stood in anticipation, Sakura tossed the Big card in front of her and twirled her wand around while the card hovered in the air.
"Transform Sonomi Daidouji into a powerful towering businesswoman worthy of her name! Biiiiiiig!!!" Sakura shouted as she slammed her wand on the Big card. Its energy swirled around in the air before making its way around Sonomi, who looked around at the energy waves that surrounded her. And that's when the young woman grew. Her growth was quite fast… roughly 10-12 feet every second.
"Oooooooh…" Sonomi said as she felt the energy flowing through her body that allowed her to grow. The entire area, including Sakura and Tomoyo themselves, shrunk before her eyes.

Finally, the growth stopped. Whereas Sakura had grown to a little over 100 feet tall when she first used the Big card, Sonomi towered above everything at 160 feet tall. Sakura had a feeling this was because Sonomi was an adult in contrast to her own age, but nevertheless, she felt Sonomi was quite big.
"Oh wow! Look how big Mom is!" Tomoyo said. Sonomi then spread her heels apart and looked straight down at the two smaller girls.
“Oh my! Look how small you both are. And the mansion!” Sonomi said as she next took note of how she was almost twice the size of the mansion.
“Come on, Mom! Pretend you’re going to step on us!” Tomoyo shouted.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Tomoyo.” Sonomi said.
“Awwwww… Why not!?” Tomoyo said.
“Well, what happens if I were to lose my balance on these heels?” Sonomi said as she lightly shifted her black high heels around, “Then you’d both really be in trouble.”
“She does have a point, Tomoyo.” Sakura added.
“Yeah, you’re right…” Tomoyo said.
“I tell you what. I have a better idea, but first we need to get into the city for my big meeting with the other toy company. No pun intended, of course.” Sonomi said.
“Great! So lead the way!” Sakura said.
“Hohoho! I wouldn’t want you two to be chasing me around the city as big as I now am!” Sonomi said. Sakura and Tomoyo backed away as the giant Sonomi slowly kneeled down and extended a hand towards the two. Tomoyo excitedly, with Sakura behind her, jumped onto one of Sonomi's fingers and ran to the palm of her hand. Sonomi slowly stood back up and gently picked up the two girls, placing them on her right shoulder.
"You two hold on tight now." Sonomi said. With Sakura and Tomoyo tightly grabbing as much of Sonomi's suit as they could from where they were sitting, they watched as Sonomi started walking around the mansion, with each of her steps leaving behind a soft boom.

Given the city of Tomoeda was not too far from where the mansion was, it only took a couple minutes for the giantess to arrive, and of course, the reactions varied wildly amidst the normal-sized people. Some looked up in awe while others screamed their heads off and ran.
"Eeeeek! A giant woman!" a woman shouted.
"And with a suit like that, she means business!" the man next to her shouted before they ran. Sonomi stopped walking and looked down at these people.
"Don't panic, everyone. I promise I won't hurt you." Sonomi said as calmly as she could.
"Heh… you can't blame them for running, Mrs. Daidouji. I mean… I'd run if a giant Tomoyo were in the city!" Sakura said.
"Oh… but I much prefer you being the giantess, Sakura." Tomoyo said.
"Right… of course you do." Sakura said. After some more very careful walking around so she wouldn't crush anyone, Sonomi finally pointed to a building several yards away.
"There. That building is where I was supposed to meet with the executives of the other toy company." Sonomi said.
"Mrs. Daidouji? Do you think you can close the deal now like this?" Sakura asked. Sonomi smiled as she looked down at her and Tomoyo on her shoulder.
"Only one way to find out." Sonomi said as she marched her way towards this building.
"Teehee… I'm getting excited to see what happens!" Tomoyo said.

Meanwhile, the male executives of the toy company Sonomi has been trying to buy were getting restless. Not only were they told to meet on the roof of the building, but Sonomi herself was nowhere to be found. Just one of her assistants, a young woman named Rumiko.
"Young lady! I demand to know where Mrs. Daidouji is!" one man shouted.
"I feel like this is top level embarrassment. If she is not here in 5 minutes, we're walking away from the table… even though we already departed it by coming up here." another said.
"Now, now. I'm sure Mrs. Daidouji has a very good explanation for her requests." Rumiko said. Suddenly, the building lightly shook as soft booms of thunder slowly got louder and louder. Rumiko and the gentlemen looked in the direction of where the booms came from… and then they all gasped. Walking out from behind a taller building in the distance was the 160-foot-tall Sonomi Daidouji. She took her place directly in front of the building the men were standing on, and they all looked up. The building was waist high with the giantess, who smiled and rested her hands on her hips.
"Gentlemen, thank you so much for your patience. I do apologize for the unusual circumstances on which we are resuming our talks." Sonomi said.
"M-m-m-m-m-Mrs. Daidouji!?" one of the men said.
"What happened to you!?" another man said. Sonomi smiled.
"Didn't you gentlemen do your research on me? I also own an experimental chemicals company, and I just happened to be in the neighborhood when, well, one of their BIG experiments went off on me." Sonomi said as she quickly winked down to Sakura and Tomoyo, both of whom were trying to hold back laughter over the fib the giantess made up.

As Rumiko stared up in awe, Sonomi continued looking down at the gentlemen.
"Now then, gentlemen. Let's cut right to the chase. My offer from yesterday still stands and I will no longer take compromises despite what we talked about yesterday. Do we have a deal?" Sonomi said. The gentlemen all looked at each other.
"Boss, do we really have a choice anymore? She'll probably crush us flat if we say no… literally!" one man said. The elderly man with the glasses looked like he wanted to hold firm as he stepped in front of the rest.
"And if we refuse? Whoa!" the man said, only to suddenly have a couple giant fingers from Sonomi wrap around him. Sonomi lifted the man up to her face, and the stone cold executioner look in her eyes paralyzed him with fear.
"Maybe it would be best if I eat the competition instead of crushed it?" Sonomi said
"You… you wouldn't!" the man shouted.
"I wouldn't, eh?" Sonomi said with a rather sly smile. She then opened her mouth wide and moved the man towards her tongue.
"Waaaaaaaaaah! Okay okay okay okay! WE'LL TAKE THE DEAL!!!" the man screamed. Sonomi then smiled and pulled the man away from her mouth.
"I'm glad to hear it!" Sonomi said as she gently set the man back down on the building's rooftop.

The man wiped the sweat off his head and walked back to the other men while the giant Sonomi looked down at Rumiko.
"Rumiko, please take these kind men back to the meeting room and finalize the transaction for me." Sonomi said.
"Okay, Mrs. Daidouji… but what about you?" Rumiko asked.
"My daughter, her friend, and I are going to downtown for some ice cream to celebrate!" Sonomi said.
"As you wish, Mrs. Daidouji!" Rumiko said. After a gentle nod from the giantess, Rumiko and the men all exited from the rooftop to head a few floors down to the meeting room.
"Congratulations, Mom! But…" Tomoyo said.
"What's wrong, Tomoyo?" Sonomi asked as she turned her neck to look on her shoulder.
"You weren't really going to eat that man, were you?" Tomoyo asked.
"Hahahaha! Of course not! A good businesswoman knows exactly how and when to bluff." Sonomi said.
"Ahhhhh… I get it!" Tomoyo said.
"Now then, I believe I said we would get some ice cream to celebrate, right?" Sonomi said.
"Yay! I haven't had a good cone in a while." Sakura said.
"Alright then, let's get going!" Sonomi said as she walked away from the building and back to the heart of Tomoeda.

The walk took at least a couple minutes as Sonomi once again had to be very careful with where she was stepping. At the same time, she once again admired how small everything was given her size.
"Heh heh, I still can't get over how small everything is. I wonder how I must look from down there." Sonomi said.
"Hey, Mrs. Daidouji! That's where Tomoyo comes in! You know she likes to film from every angle." Sakura said. Sonomi looked down at Tomoyo who smiled right back and waved her camcorder around.
"Oh, alright. But try to keep a safe distance, okay?" Sonomi said as she gently grabbed the two girls and set them down behind her. Once they were on the ground, Sonomi got back to walking slowly, using the rooftops of nearby buildings to lean on just in case she tripped over her heels. As she walked, Tomoyo described the action.
"Watch now as my giant mother carefully makes her way through the city. She may be a tough businesswoman, but she looks out for those who aren't as fortunate as she is." Tomoyo said. Sakura couldn't help but smile, knowing Tomoyo was taking great pride in her work.

But seconds later, Sonomi stopped and looked back at Tomoyo and Sakura.
"Well, here we are at the ice cream shop. But how am I going to pay for the ice cream?" Sonomi said as she pulled out a credit card and couldn't help but chuckle over seeing it bigger than the entire roof of the shop.
"It's okay, Mom! Between Sakura and I, we have enough change to buy all of us a cone." Tomoyo said as she pulled out some yen coins.
"Ah, okay then! I'll just wait here patiently then." Sonomi said as she stood by watching the two kids walk inside the shop. Tomoyo and Sakura went right to the counter.
"Hi! Can we get three vanilla cones, please? All at the largest size available?" Tomoyo said to the older man behind the counter.
"Sure, coming right up." the man said as he walked back to the machine and quickly put together three cones of soft serve vanilla ice cream. He handed the cones to the girls (Sakura took one and Tomoyo took two) while Tomoyo handed the man the yen coins.
"Who is the third cone for, if I may ask?" the man said.
"My Mom!" Tomoyo said as she looked outside. The man looked the same way and saw big walls of black and tan, which was actually one of Sonomi's high heels and part of her foot.
"Huh?" the man asked.
"Ummmm… it's a new car she's testing out." Sakura said, trying to make up a story to explain the giant foot out the window.
"Uh huh…" the man said.
"Thank you so much!" Tomoyo said as she bowed before the man and then she and Sakura left. The man finally shrugged his shoulders and walked to another part of the store.

Sakura and Tomoyo stepped outside where they saw the giant Sonomi taking a couple steps back and sitting down on the ground. Tomoyo held one of the cones high in the air.
"Here's your cone, Mom! This was the biggest one we could get!" Tomoyo said.
"Haha! Thanks, Tomoyo. It's the thought that counts, honestly." Sonomi said as she gently plucked the cone from Tomoyo's hand. Of course, it was as big as a cookie crumb from her perspective, but she nevertheless tossed it into her mouth and gulped it down her throat. Meanwhile, she watched as Sakura and Tomoyo feverishly tried to lick the ice cream off their cones, however…
"Ack! It's melting!" Sakura said.
"It is a hot and perfectly sunny day, after all!" Tomoyo said. Suddenly the two girls found themselves being covered in shade. At first they thought it was a cloud hovering overhead… but it was actually Sonomi holding both her hands about 30 feet above them, creating a shadow.
"Perhaps this will help." Sonomi said with a smile.
"Teehee… thanks, Mom!" Tomoyo said.

After a few minutes of licking the ice cream and then throwing the cones away in a nearby trash can, the girls looked at each other and then up at Sonomi.
"Ahhhh… that was good, wasn't it, Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"It sure was, though I wonder if we should've bought another cone for Syaoran…" Sakura said.
"Mom, are you still having fun being that big?" Tomoyo asked.
"Of course, especially if makes the two of you happy." Sonomi said. Just then, the three looked in the same direction when they heard a series of sirens quickly getting louder.
"Uh oh… is that who I think it is?" Sonomi said. Tomoyo looked further and saw the red and blue blinking lights.
"Yep, here come the police, just like in any other movie with a giant person or monster." Tomoyo said. The two then felt themselves being picked up by the giantess.
"You two better stay in here for now." Sonomi as she gently tucked the two girls inside a pocket on her suit at chest level. It only took a second for the two to stick their heads out and see what was going on, with Tomoyo continuing to film everything that was happening.

As for Sonomi, she watched as the police cars pulled up to her, stopping a handful of yards away from her high heels. As the officers all got out of their cars and aimed their guns up at the giantess, she tried her best to keep everyone calm.
"Officers, I apologize for the hysteria I'm causing. I assure you I will be out of here in a few minutes and returned to my normal size by then without…" Sonomi said, only to be interrupted by one of the officers.
"Okay, officers! Open fire!" the officer shouted. Immediately the officers fired their guns up at the giantess. Bullets hit her almost from top to bottom on her body… whether it be her legs, waist, hips, chest, etc. While the bullets hardly did any damage to her given her current size, the quantity of the bullets left her feeling annoyed.
"What!? Hey, come on! Cut that out!" Sonomi said as she felt the urge to take a couple steps backwards. As a result, she didn't see the fire truck pulling up behind her and one of her heels caught it, causing her to lose her balance.
"WHOA!" Sonomi shouted.
"Get down, Tomoyo!" Sakura said as she thrust Tomoyo into the pocket with her. They were able to stay put inside even as Sonomi crash landed on her behind. The fire truck was pinned under the giantess's legs but somehow was able to stay in one piece, enough time for the firefighters riding the truck to get out and escape.

"Ow… it doesn't matter how big you are, that still hurts." Sonomi said as she rubbed her lower backside. Then she looked rather mad as she helped herself back to her feet.
"You police officers should be ashamed of yourselves! Shooting first and asking questions later!? What kind of country do you think we live in!?" Sonomi said as she marched her way towards the officers.
"Um… Mom? What are you doing?" Tomoyo asked. Sonomi, however, did not answer as she was laser focused on the officers. The officers kept firing until they realized their weaponry wasn't slowing her down at all. They finally got the hint and turned around, running so to speak for the hills. Sonomi, meanwhile, raised one of her legs high and slammed her heeled shoe down on the front of the police car, smashing it into the ground. She slammed her other shoe down on the same spot, essentially marching in place until the car was smushed flat like a tin can after somebody stomped on it.
Sonomi did the same thing to another car, focusing on crushing it flat even while watching the group of officers run into the distance. After this car was flat, she decided to pick up the next car into her hands. She peeked inside making sure nobody was inside, and when that was true, she held the car high in the air and then thrust it down into the ground like a spike, leaving the backside of the car sticking out of the ground.

A couple minutes later, after punching, kicking, ripping a car in half Incredible Hulk style, and stomping the rest of the cars, Sonomi took a few deep breaths and looked out in the distance at the officers running from her.
"Feel free to send me the bill for the repair costs! I promise my company will cover them fully!" Sonomi shouted.
"Wow… Mrs. Daidouji… that was… something." Sakura said.
"Haha! But that's Mom for you. I've seen her throw a fit like that when a deal doesn't go her way." Tomoyo said.
"Huh? Are my outbursts really that obvious, Tomoyo?" Sonomi said.
"Teehee!" Tomoyo giggled, prompting Sonomi to smile right back. She then lifted the two girls out of her suit and placed them down on the ground.
"Could you two do me a favor and check to make sure I didn't accidentally crush any officers? Watch your step for any broken glass or parts!" Sonomi said.
"Will do, Mrs. Daidouji!" Sakura said. She and Tomoyo walked around the surveyed the wreckage from Sonomi's mini rampage. Tomoyo, of course, was awestruck over seeing all the carnage.
"Wow… it's just like the end result of a long war on the battlefield. Look at all the carnage left in Giant Mom's wake!" Tomoyo said.
"Oh, Tomoyo. Imagine the mess I would've left behind." Sakura said.
"Yeah! I think I'll do just that when we get home!" Tomoyo said.

Sakura and Tomoyo made it to the last destroyed police car and looked up at Sonomi.
"Okay! I see nobody around!" Sakura said.
"Whew… thank goodness." Sonomi said. She kneeled down so she could scoop the two back into her hands.
"So what now, Mom?" Tomoyo asked. Sonomi looked out in the distance at the edge of the city.
"Well… there is one more thing I'd like to do before I return to normal size; something I've always wanted to do if I ever grew this big." Sonomi said.
"What's that, Mom?" Tomoyo asked.
"You'll see. But first we need to get to Shinjuku." Sonomi said.
"Oh? The Shinjuku prefecture of Tokyo? That's a muuuuuuch bigger city than Tomoeda!" Sakura said.
"I know, but it's perfect for what I have in mind. Hold on tight!" Sonomi said as she placed Sakura and Tomoyo back on her shoulder. The two held on as Sonomi made her way carefully out of the city and into Shinjuku.

It took a few minutes, but Sonomi finally arrived in the Shinjuku ward of the city of Tokyo. Unlike in Tomoeda, there were many more buildings that still towered over Sonomi despite her increased size. But this didn't bother the giantess much, especially given the many people running away from her black high heels trying to avoid being crushed. Sonomi took a series of left and right turns, going down one street to another. Once she made it to the end of one street, she stopped, smiled, and looked up.
"There it is. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building." Sonomi said.
"Woooooow…" Sakura and Tomoyo both said as they looked all the way up at the towering structure.
"One of Tokyo's landmarks aside from the Tokyo Tower…" Sakura said. The two then were grabbed by the giantess once again.
"You two should once again stay here where it's safe." Sonomi said.
"What are you going to do, Mom?" Tomoyo asked.
"What else? Climb it! Gorillas shouldn't be the only giant things climbing taller buildings." Sonomi said as she winked down to the two girls and then stuffed them in the pocket.
"Oh! This is going to be so cool to film! Especially from this perspective… I can twist the plot and make the audience think it's the gorilla being held onto!" Tomoyo said. Sakura giggled, once again marveling at Tomoyo's vivid imagination.

Once the girls were safely tucked away, Sonomi clapped her hands together and approached the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. She dug one foot into the building, then her hands, then finally the other foot and climbed. Sakura marveled at the speed Sonomi was climbing the building, plus the minimal damage she was causing with her hands and feet.
"Wow, Mrs. Daidouji! I didn't know you were a good climber." Sakura said.
"Heh heh… don't forget, Sakura! I was quite the athletic girl in my days of youth!" Sonomi said as she continued to climb upward.
A couple minutes later, Sonomi made it to the very top of what the public knew as Building 2. Despite being 160 feet tall, the building was just big, and more importantly sturdy, enough to let Sonomi sit atop the structure. As she allowed her legs to dangle over the edge, she waved out to the background, which includes the streets a long way down as people gathered around to witness the sight of a giantess sitting atop the familiar structure.
"Hello, people of Japan! Sonomi Daidouji here reminding you to always buy Daidouji products! They'll… well… they'll make you feel at least a hundred feet tall… like me!" Sonomi said with a cute smile on her face.
"That was… an interesting pitch." Sakura said.
"Heh, yeah… usually I have other people do the marketing. I haven't done my own marketing since I was 12." Sonomi said with a sweatdrop on the side of her head.

Just then, Sonomi watched something quickly whizz by her head.
"Huh? What was that?" Sonomi asked. Sakura and Tomoyo followed the smoke trail and saw what it was that flew past Sonomi's head.
"Uh oh… now they're sending fighter jets!" Sakura said, pointing at the two jets that were turning around.
"I guess they want to shoot you down now, Mom!" Tomoyo said.
"Hmph… not if I shoo them away like the flies they are!" Sonomi said as she now stood atop one of the towers. She extended one of her arms out and tried to swat the jets away, but they were able to fly up and out of the way. Seconds later, the jets turned around and fired a couple missiles as soon as they were facing the giantess again. Sonomi ducked underneath these missiles as they missed her and flew out in the distance. Sonomi took another swipe at the jets, and one of her nails came within inches of striking one of the jets, causing it to wobble around but eventually straighten out. Sonomi watched as the jets made another U-turn towards her, and this time the jets used machine gun fire on the giantess, who covered her face to protect it. Although Sonomi barely felt the bullets hitting her arm, she still had a number of microscopic holes in her suit.
"Ugh… are you kidding me? This is one of my best suits!" Sonomi said. She then looked down on ground level, "Maybe if I climb back down, they'll stop attacking."
So Sonomi did her best to climb back down the tower despite the jets still shooting at her. Despite all the dings she was getting and the explosions she felt just off her body, she was able to make it back down on ground level.

But despite being down there, the jets continued to fly back and forth and attack the giantess.
"Just stop already! I'll leave already if you quit attacking me!" Sonomi said. Tomoyo and Sakura then looked at each other.
"Sakura, we have to help Mom!" Tomoyo said. Sakura nodded.
"Mrs. Daidouji, I've got an idea! Take me out, please!" Sakura shouted.
"Huh? Are you sure that's a good idea?" Sonomi asked.
"Please? I will help you chase away those jets with my powers." Sakura said. Sonomi nodded, sensing the determination in Tomoyo's best friend. As Sakura climbed out of the pocket, she waited for Sonomi to hover a hand just outside the pocket and she jumped out, landing in the palm. Sakura then pulled out one of her Clow Cards and threw it in front of her.
"Heavenly skies! Unleash your fury and send two lightning bolts to weaken the fighter jets! Thunder!!" Sakura shouted as she slammed her wand down. Within seconds, the clouds in the skies thickened deeply and rumbled with thunder. Then, with a loud crackle, lightning bolts came shooting down from the sky and struck both jets in the rear. Tomoyo gasped and ducked inside the pocket (leaving the camcorder sticking out of course!) and Sonomi took a step back in shock. It's amazing to think a young girl like Sakura Kinomoto can have such powerful control over the weather, she thought.

Sonomi then snapped back to reality when she realized something very important. As the pilots of the jets ejected, the jets themselves spiraled out of control, tilting down towards the ground.
"Yikes! That won't be good if they crash into the streets!" Sonomi said. She quickly tossed Sakura back into her shirt pocket where Tomoyo was, and she took a few firm steps forward, extending her arms out and catching a jet in each hand.
"Whew… that was close." Sonomi said. She set the jets, which were burning bright with flames in the back and smoking and sparking everywhere else, carefully down on the ground. As for the pilots themselves, she watched as they floated down in their parachutes at chest level, allowing her to easily reach out and grab them. She ripped the parachutes off their backs and glared menacingly at them.
"I know you two were following orders, but you still have some nerve to be shooting at me AND the children! You tell your commanding officers if they ever try and attack me again, I'll make it my personal mission to dramatically reduce funding for those machines. IS THAT CLEAR!?" Sonomi said. Both pilots nervously nodded their heads.
"Good." Sonomi said. She then set the pilots down on the ground, where they watched the giantess put her hands back on her hips.
"Now get out of here before I crush you like ants at a picnic." Sonomi said as she hovered one of her high heels above the men. She smiled as she watched them dart away into the distance.

Sakura and Tomoyo, of course, watched everything from inside the pocket.
"Whew… you really showed them, Mrs. Daidouji!" Sakura said.
"Thank you, Sakura. It's been fun, but it would be best if I shrunk back to normal size before they think about attacking me again." Sonomi said.
"Hmmm… yes, I agree, Mom. Oh well, as you said, it was fun while it lasted, but at least I got a ton of footage!" Tomoyo said.
"I'm glad to hear that, Tomoyo. I can't wait to see what kind of movie you make out of today's action." Sonomi said.
"Teeheehee!!" Tomoyo giggled as she thought about all the footage she recorded. In the meantime, Sonomi started walking away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and eventually returned to Tomoeda.

Eventually, the giantess was back at the Daidouji Mansion, towering over the backyard where this all started. Sonomi carefully set Sakura and Tomoyo down on the ground, where Sakura threw the Big card in front of her.
"Big card! Undo your magic and return Mrs. Daidouji to her normal size!" Sakura shouted before slamming her wand down on the card. Its magic came flying out and circled around Sonomi, and gradually she got smaller and smaller until she was finally back at her normal size. She looked ahead at Sakura and Tomoyo as they approached her.
"Heh heh… I feel so small all of a sudden." Sonomi said.
"Well, you were a giantess for a pretty good while." Sakura said.
"Yeah. It was fun while it lasted, but it's good to be back to normal so I can safely hug you two again." Sonomi said as she gave both Sakura and Tomoyo a hug.
"Teehee! Thanks, Mom!" Tomoyo said.

The three then watched one of the maids approach them.
"Welcome back, Madame Daidouji. Forgive us, but we were watching your escapades on the news." the maid said.
"Heh heh… I was hard to miss at that size, wasn't I?" Sonomi said.
"Anyway, we've gone ahead and prepared lunch for you and the children." the maid said.
"Thank you. I haven't eaten anything in a while. I hope you prepared a BIG lunch." Sonomi said with a smile. Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't help but laugh over that joke as everyone walked back inside the mansion to carry on with the rest of the day.
