Mary came back with a notepad and pen and placed them on the counter. The fairy beat her wings and crossed the gap between it and the bench, but Mary could see there was strain on her face. She cocked her head. "Are you okay?"
The fairy huffed. "I'm fine. I don't think my wings can hold me as well at this size."
"So, your wings didn't gain strength with their size?"
The fairy shook her head. "Unfortunately not. It's a shame, I love flying. But I suppose that the price to pay for size."
Mary thought for a second. "What if we gave them some extra strength?"
The fairy's face lit up. "You would do that for me?"
"Of course, but may I still document the changes?" At the nod, Mary brought out a set of cooking scales. "Could you step on here please?"
She did, and Mary scribbled down the measurements. 10 inches tall, and weighing 530 grams. Mary wondered idly if fairies had hollow bones. Then, she wondered another thing.
"I never asked this, but what is your name?"
"I'm Titania," the fairy exclaimed happily. Mary jotted it down as well, under the heading 'subject name'. She smiled.
"Right then, let's find you some vials to improve your strength."
As she carded through the vials, she picked out a few that caught her eye. 'Muscles' followed by 'Strength' (the difference she wasn't too sure of) and added in 'Durability' for good measure. She grabbed a cooking pot from the cupboard and poured them in 3 times over, calculating that it would give Titania a 300% increase in all of the categories. Then, she added a 500% dose of height. The liquids combined to make an amber potion that covered a centimetre or two over the bottom of the pot.
Just before she gave Titania the go-ahead, another vial caught her eye. It was a bright yellow, and the label read 'Amazon'. From what she knew, she knew she had to add it to the mix. A good 450% would do Titania some good.
Excited at the chance to be able to fly, and put on some serious height in the process, Titania fluttered up and hovered above, ready to gently lower herself into the bath, but just as she did, her wings gave out and she fell face-down into the concoction and sank beneath the surface.
