Using simple 6D junction conditions, we describe two surprising geometries. First in a case of transitions between dS{sub 4}xS{sub 2} vacua, the S{sub 2} can be stretched significantly larger than the vacuum values both before and after the transition. The same mechanism can also lead to ''bubble of nothing'' geometries.
