"What? Why do I have to be turned into a statue?" wailed Suzy.

"That's the rules you agreed on" explained Kevin, barely containing his glee. "The losing team--both players--has to be statues for a week."

"What? Why me? Heather didn't even try? It's like she didn't even try to... oh." Suzy's voice dropped with understanding as she looked over at Heather, who was blushing furiously.

"I'm sorry, Suzy," whispered Heather, visibly squirming with excitement. "I didn't start out wanting to betray you but the more I thought about 'losing' the hotter it seemed." Heather began unbuttoning her shirt. "Reduced to an object, unable to move..." Her voice trailed off as she shivered with excitement.

"Heather?... why are you undressing?" asked Suzy. Kevin and Ryan looked on, grinning.

"Well... I know they're going to undress me as soon as I'm transformed... so I thought I'd make it easy... and feel like a little bit of a preview too." Heather's voice cracked with excitement as she removed her shirt and dropped it. She hadn't been wearing a bra, so bare-chested, she suddenly seemed very exposed. "You might as well do the same thing, Suzy." She grinned with more than a slight leer.

"What? No thank you. I don't want to watch you all watching me naked," Suzy glared.

"Suit yourself", giggled Heather. With a firm motion she pulled off jeans, socks, and underwear all at once, dropped them, and bounced excitedly on her toes. "OK, I'm ready to be transformed." She hopped up onto the pedestal and struck a theatric pose, leaning forward and pointing into the distance with her arm. "Promise me you'll turn me back when it's done."

"OK, we promise." Kevin reached for the button that would activate the pedestal. "...probably", he added teasingly. Heather squealed, but her squeal was cut off by his press of the button. A shower of purple and blue sparks burst forth from the pedestal around Heather's feet, and when they dropped the naked woman was transformed into a nude marble statue.

"All right, Suzy, get up there with her," Kevin admonished, as Ryan looked on and nodded. Reluctantly Suzy climbed up to the pedestal--it was large enough for several people. She stood beside the statue of Heather but took a slouching pose, hands in her pockets.

"I don't suppose I could convince you to pose better? Or take off some of those clothes to make it easier?" Ryan asked; Suzy only glared daggers at him. He grinned and shrugged. "Ah well. Enjoy being a statue. See you in a little while", he teased, then pushed the button. Again a shower of blue and purple sparks erupted from the pedestal; again, when they subsided, Suzy had been transformed into a statue. In stark contrast to Heather's ecstatic, nude form, Suzy's statue was surly, face grimacing, tongue slightly out. Her shirt, jeans, and shoes remained unchanged on her body, as if an ordinary statue had been dressed. Ryan and Kevin stared at the frozen girls for half a minute, then looked at each other, nodding their approval.
