I figured that I might need to illustrate. Observe:
Just a Little Black Magic

Have you ever believed in that old superstition about black cats bringing bad luck? Kari certainly didn't, or at least she didn't until one fine day. It wasn't long after the portal to the digital world was sealed (at the end of the first season). Kari was sitting at home watching television, her big brother Tai was at school and her Mom and Dad were at work. She was feeling rather lonely and when a cat food commercial came on her thoughts shifted to Gatomon, her friend and partner whom she had been separated from far too soon. While Kari was thinking that she would love to have some company, there was another creature on the loose who just happened to be looking for some company.
Wandering through the labyrinths of town was a small, furry, pitch-black figure with a very long tail. One of Myotismon's henchmen that had decided to stay behind after his insane master had been destroyed and his world had been sealed off. BlackGatomon nowadays spent his time wandering around the human world and exploring, satisfying his natural feline curiosity. Ironically, this was the day he had found his way to the apartment where Kari lived and had climbed up to the window of Kari’s apartment.
Cautiously, BlackGatomon poked his head over the balcony rail and peered inside. He seemed to be feeling rather mischievous today and found that he was in luck. Kari had apparently received an answer to her prayers because TK had decided to pay her a visit. Secretly, the two had been seeing each other since the end of their adventures and had grown a little closer, fortunately for BlackGatomon. “Wonderful” he purred under his breath, “ I was hoping I’d get to have some fun with some humans today.” He slipped inside and hid himself behind the TV as TK and Kari sat down to watch. Suddenly he sprung up, landed in front of the kids and shouted “Cat’s Eye Hypnotism!” TK and Kari were caught completely by surprise and konked out at once.
Kari groggily came to and tried to take stock of her situation, although that was easier said than done. She and TK were sitting next to each other in hard wooden chairs with their hands tied behind their backs, also they both had their legs in large medieval-style stocks so that their feet, which were still in their socks and shoes, were sticking straight out in front of them. They seemed to be sitting in the middle of a spotlight with seemingly nothing in the surrounding darkness. “What is this place Kari?” TK asked, apparently as lost as she was. “I don’t know TK, but I have a very bad feeling about this.”
Kari was right, because as soon as she said that she noticed an odd figure was floating towards them out of the darkness. Kari realized that it was a bicycle pump but she wasn’t sure what was stranger, where they were, what a bicycle pump was doing here, or what was allowing it to float through the air! However, there wasn’t enough time to come up with an answer because in the blink of an eye, the pump sprouted four suction cups attached to four separate tubes. Each suction cup affixed itself to the bottoms of both of TK’s and Kari’s shoes, and at the same time the kids finally understood what was going to happen, but before they could object, the pump started pumping! Tk and Kari struggled as hard as they could to escape from their bonds but they just couldn’t budge. Kari began to wince as her feet began to feel more and more snug inside her shoes which were already starting to show strain, TK was squirming a little bit too but the mysterious pump showed no signs of stopping. Then Kari realized something, “Hey TK” she said “It’s okay it doesn’t really hurt. TK stopped and noticed that Kari was right, there really wasn’t any pain to be felt, just a feeling of tightness.
Suddenly there was a loud squeaking noise and then a sharp POP.”Wow, look Kari. Our feet are so big that we broke out of our shoes!” It was true, the kids feet had now grown to at least three times their normal size and the tatters of their shoes now lay on the floor in separate piles.
The pump still wasn’t showing any signs of stopping, in fact it seemed to be picking up speed! It was pumping harder and harder and the kids feet grew bigger and bigger. Then there was another loud ripping noise and tatters of Kari’s and TK’s socks fell away from the kids ever-increasing sets of kicks. “He He. I’m beginning to like this TK.” Kari said, wiggling her now huge toes to illustrate her point.
A little while later the bicycle pump finally slowed to a stop and disappeared just as quickly as it had come. By now, even if TK and Kari knew what was yet to come, they certainly couldn’t do anything about it, stocks or not! Kari and TK’s feet had now grown so heavy and massive that they were now the size of sofas! TK flexed his feet back and fourth trying to get used to his new size and as Kari watched him, neither noticed that BlackGatomon himself had entered the room. Fortunately, the kids feet were so large that they couldn’t see him, but the crafty little digimon had a long, stiff goose feather and a rather mischievous grin on his face. Suddenly Kari felt the slightest creeping sensation moving across the sole of her right foot, causing her to flinch a little and strain to hide an oncoming smile. “Hey Kari? What’s the maaHAHAHAHahAHAHAter!” TK started to scream in hysterics as he felt the feather tracing along the soles of his feet as well. It went on like that for a little while, Kari and TK alternating laughing spells and one time even simultaneously when BlackGatomon used the feather on Kari’s feet and his long tail on TK’s quivering feet. BlackGatomon was thoroughly enjoying himself as he watched the giant, squirming, shaking feet as well as the twenty balloon-like wiggling toes try to evade the digimon’s torture. “WhHAHAHAHAHAywhy are youOHOHOHOHO doHOHOHing this?” Kari managed to get out. “I’m afraid that it’s a little to late to ask me that. BlackGatomon said as he threw the feather aside and extended his claws. Kari looked on nervously. “You wouldn’t dare!” Unfortunately for them he did. He poked one of each of their feet until there was a deafening POP!!!
Kari and TK were startled awake. They found themselves back in Kari’s apartment, sitting on the couch just as the had been before. Kari wondered if it had all been a dream, but then she noticed that her feet felt a little swollen.....
