“You were a balloon… seriously?”
It was a little over a week since novice witch Lya’s magic had turned Mimi into a bright red balloon - a cartoonish face and shifting speech balloons the only sign she was human as she bobbed about on the ceiling. Mimi had been stuck as a balloon for days, helpless as Lya poured through books to find the right spell to change her friend back to normal. Eventually, Lya had found a spell that did the trick, but Mimi swore her skin still squeaked from time to time. Mimi had barely gotten used to having arms and legs again before Lya insisted they go to her friend Jess’ house - who better to show balloon magic than a party decorator?
“Um, yeah…” Mimi replied, blushing a little, cheeks turning a familiar shade of cherry red.
“Interesting,” Jess replied, softly, slowing looking between Mimi, Lya, and the balloons Lya was carrying: one shaped like a gingerbread man, complete with glittering gumdrop buttons, the other a potted plant with individual leaves bulging with air. At first glance, they seemed like ordinary balloons, but Jess had inflated enough balloons to know you couldn’t possibly mould balloons that detailed, “and that used to be a real plant?”
“Yeah!” Lya beamed, all too happy to show off her magic, “watch this!” she reached into her bag, pulling out a teddy bear, holding it out in her hand. Jess watched as the bear started to shift about, bulging slightly, fur flattening against gleaming skin. Before long, the teddy began to squeak and pop as balloon limbs stretched outwards. It started to bob about gently, quivering over Lya’s hand as stuffing became helium, growing lighter with each second until it drifted up into the hair. A silver ribbon trailed behind it, woven between Lya’s fingers, the gleaming bear bumping and floating alongside the other balloons.
“Wow…” Jess was no stranger to magic, though she liked to keep her own talents hidden, even from Lya. A witch in her own right, she studied the minds and spells of others, her senses catching the invisible strands of magic weaving their way from Lya’s body to the teddy bear as it shifted and changed. Already she was thinking of the ways she could intertwine Lya’s magic with her own, maybe have some fun with some balloon friends of her own. She reached out, tugging on a strand of Lya’s magic, twisting the ethereal thread around her fingers, “mind if I have a go?”
“Oh, sure?” Lya replied, faltering slightly. She and Mimi looked at each other, both clueless and confused by what Jess was talking about. Surely she wasn’t a witch…?
“You can do magic, too?” Mimi turned to Jess, curiosity growing, a little excited to be meeting another witch so soon, “I’d love to see what you can do!”
“Thanks!” Jess grinned, “it’s always nice to have such willing volunteers…”
“Wait… volunteers…?” Mimi’s smile shrank a little, confusion spreading over her face again. She’d only just changed back! Did she really want to be a balloon again? Already she could feel a turning in her stomach - was she starting to change so soon, or was it just apprehension?
“Well, changing teddy bears and plants is fun and all, but I do enjoy a challenge,” Jess smirked, imagining the change in her mind, fingers deftly manipulating the threads of magic running from Lya, twisting them around, watching them flow into Mimi.
“How- how is this possible,” Lya could sense the magic permeating the room, so strangely familiar, an echo of her own, but how could that be?
A squeak interrupted the room, Mimi’s stomach suddenly bulging outwards, pushing out against her clothes. She reached down to feel it, pressing her hands against her swelling belly, skin stretching and deforming around them. Deep inside, Mimi could feel the pressure building, that same weird feeling of her insides dissolving into air, the expanding gas pushing her changing skin outwards, becoming rounder with each passing moment. She awkwardly pulled her top upwards, the fabric catching and rubbing against her skin, sending vibrations through her body.
Free from her clothes, hey belly pushed outwards, a slight squeak and groan as changing skin stretched outwards. Already it was a brilliant red, the colour spreading outwards as more of her skin ballooned outwards, her waist growing wider to keep up with her expanding belly. Running and hand across it, she felt her skin turning into stiff, rubbery plastic - thicker than when she became a balloon, pressing back more firmly, her fingers catching on slight ridges running around her body.
“Hey, this feels kinda good…” Mimi spoke softly to herself, staring down as her body continued to swell. It pushed more of her clothes aside as it grew, fabric bunching together, waistband growing tight around her hips. Every so often, the change was punctuated by another squeak, vibrations shuddering through her body, each spreading further and faster than the last. Her knees started to buckle under her, as much from the feelings as the air filling them out, muscles fading away.
“This- this isn’t right…” Lya protested, “you’re using my magic, aren’t you?” It was making more sense now, how Jess was suddenly so adept at magic, how familiar it all felt - but how could she stop it? Each time she tried to cast a spell of her own, she could feel the way Jess was drawing on her magic, already weaving it together in her own spell. Lya tried to pull back, but with the spell already working, it was like trying to swim against the current, exhausting her more each time she tried.
“Oh, don’t worry, I’ll give it back when I’m finished,” Jess smirked, not even looking over at Lya, too busy concentrating on Mimi’s changes. Her arms and legs started to draw inwards, bulging wider, changing skin tugging her hands and feet closer and closer to her body.
Mimi felt herself slipping on the floor, shoes awkwardly tumbling from her body, clothes tearing and falling free. She wobbled for a moment, balanced on what was left of her feet, toes merging into a single curve. She rocked back, a sudden dizzy feeling as she fell, legs spinning upwards, landing on her swelling rear. Her whole body rebounded, pressure wave echoing back and forth inside her hollow torso, bouncing up into the air. The room spun around her, a moment of weightless, then another impact on her side, another feeling of vibrations crashing through her body, her cries of surprise and pleasure lost in the squeaking sound of her body. She was easily 4 feet across, and still swelling, her hands and feet sticking awkwardly out at her sides.
Mimi’s shoulders pressed outwards, enveloping her neck, pressing against her jaw. The changes reached her head, pressure building inside, her features drawing flat against stretching skin. Flesh flowed and merged, head sinking into her body, her face drawn out across her surface. It felt like she was sinking into water, enveloping her head, ripples of red covering her vision, the room stretched and distorted. Only her mouth remained, drawing smaller, rubber skin hardening, teeth fusing into a nozzle. She felt Jess’ hands on her body, rubbing across her skin, sending shivers through her as fingers carefully traced the thick ribs encircling her spherical body.
“Not bad, for my first try,” Jess grinned, spinning the silent Mimi around. Rolling her new exercise ball across the ground, she smoothed out the last whirls and wrinkles that remained of Mimi’s limbs, nothing left to suggest the ball was ever human. Satisfied, she leant back into the ball, her ass deforming Mimi’s body around it, her weight pressing down. Mimi was lost in the sensations, mind giddy as her skin stretched out, pressure increasing inside her. Each slightly movement and wobble sending more pleasurable shivers through her skin. Occasionally, a rib would catch on the ground, a moment of heat and tension before her skin slipped free, sending another shudder through her.
“Oh, oh wow-” Lya stared at the changed form of Mimi, forgetting her anger for a moment, admiring Jess’ work. She reached out, tentatively pressing into Mimi’s rubber body, feeling the soft texture of the plastic she’d become, the warmth still lingering in her body.
“I know right?” Jess flashed a grin, “accidentally popped my last exercise ball, Mimi makes a really nice replacement… assuming I don’t pop her, too…”
“Wait-” Lya’s face flushed red with renewed anger, or maybe embarrassment, “you’ve got to change her back!”
“Don’t worry, my new ball should arrive in a few days… but until then, I think I’ll have a bit of fun with the two of you…”
“Hey, no!” Lya backed up, trying to gather up her magic, a sinking feeling in her chest as she realised Jess was already weaving it into a spell of her own, “you ca-”
Lya was cut off, only a muffled squeak escaping from her lips before they sealed over. Her hands desperately reached to her face, hands slipping over smooth latex, stretching and creasing as she desperately tried to open her mouth.
“Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that…” Jess smirked, leaning back into Mimi, rocking gently as she watched her latest spell spreading across Lya’s body.
Static tingles flowed over Lya’s skin, the pink latex quickly taking over. Her skin felt tense, stretched, pulled tight across her entire body. Holding an arm up, she could already see light starting to shine through her skin, fingers squeaking and pushing out into each other. A giddy, light-headed feeling grew - and Lya imagined this must have been what Mimi felt when she was turned into a balloon.
Deep inside, she could feel her body starting to change, bones and organs fading away, replaced by helium spreading out and inflating her body. With each moment she grew lighter, the sensation strangely relaxing, feeling like she was falling asleep in a cloud. Aches and pains vanished, only the tension in her skin remaining, the weight of her body lifting from her feet. She realised she was starting to bob about in the air, rising slightly off the ground, weighed down by what was left of her changing body, and the clothes still hanging awkwardly from her shoulders.
The helium seemed to be shifting inside her, not pressing out evenly, some parts of her body swelling while others drew in tighter. Below her body, she could feel her legs shrinking, skin relaxing, pulling smaller with each moment. Her clothes shifted on her body, falling away below her waist, her top pulled tight by her swelling chest. She awkwardly tried to free herself, shrinking arms squeaking and bending awkwardly as she tugged her top away. After a chorus of squeaks and muffled cries, her body rocking and bobbing about with each moment, Lya finally tugged her top free, sending herself spinning backwards as she did.
When the world finally stopped spinning, she found herself staring at the ceiling. Her arms hung limply at her sides, her vision filled with the pink curves of her inflated breasts, still pushing out above her. She drifted slightly, head slipping back into the rest of her body, face stretching out over her body. She tried to move her arms, her legs, anything - but only made her body squeak and wobble, so little of it left unchanged. Lya spun above, drifting higher into their air as her body grew lighter, her body almost completely latex and helium. The last curves and bumps of her body smoothed out, waist tapering down to a point, her breasts slowly settling into the curves of a love heart. Beneath her, Lya’s legs twisted together, wrapping and looping around her thighs, sealing into a knot.
A few more creaks and squeaks, and what was left of her face vanished into nothing, pink vision stuck staring at Jess approaching her. A hand reached out, looking large in her vision, grabbing around the knot of her legs. Her whole body bobbed and wobbled, stopping its rise to the ceiling, shockwaves running through her latex skin. Despite her anger at Jess, she couldn’t deny that it felt so good, each vibration muddling her light-headed thoughts.
“Look at you, my perfect little heart balloon… I think we can have some fun together…”
“I’d kinda like that,” Lya thought to herself, he thoughts carried over the strands of magic still woven between her and Jess.
Mimi forgotten, Jess carried Lya up to her bedroom, squeezing tightly as she went. Carefully set down on the bed, Lya bobbed about gently, waiting for Jess to change out of her clothes. The bed shifted beneath Lya, the balloon slowly settling, wobbling about, before Jess’ bare arms wrapped themselves around her. Lya could feel the warmth of Jess’ body, her breath playing across the surface of her latex skin, the weight of her pressing down on Lya. The balloon stretched and squeaked, the tingle of static as Jess ran her hands across Lya.
Pressure build and shifted inside Lya, her skin creasing under Jess’ body, the rest of her pressing outwards, stretching her skin to the limit. Each touch, each movement of Jess against her body, sent shivers of pleasure through Lya’s body - almost losing herself in the sensations.
“I… must… try not to pop…”
“Don’t worry,” Jess whispered, laying her face against Lya, “your owner would never let that happen to you…”
The next few days passed in a blur.
After a night in Jess’ embrace, the latex that had been Lya’s legs were carefully untied, Jess slowly releasing the air from her. Lya’s whole body shook with the vibrations, an ebbing pleasure as her body deflated, crumpling in on itself, relaxing and falling asleep as the tension vanished from her skin. Jess carefully folded the former human up, tucking her away in a box of other balloons, “there, the perfect place for my new balloon to sleep…”
A few days later, Jess’ replacement exercise ball arrived, and Mimi was changed back to her old self - and all too happy to stumble her way home, enjoying being able to walk again.
By the weekend, all thoughts of the balloon that Lya had become were forgotten. With a wedding coming up, Jess had happily taken along a box of heart-shaped balloons for decorations, not noticing one was a little pinker than the rest, tying them up around the garden. Lya, her thoughts still so giddy, was more than content to drift about in the summer breeze, the sun warming the helium inside her, the pressure stretching her out just a little bit more.
It was a beautiful ceremony, the party lasting long into the night, the band’s music sending shivers of pleasure through Lya’s body. One by one, the guests started to drift out, a few grabbing themselves a balloon to take home as a keepsake.
“Wait…”
In the distance, Mimi happily chatted away…
“I think I preferred being the balloon… everything seemed so light and giddy. Being an exercise ball was weird, I felt so stiff, everything was muted…”
“I’ll bet,” Jess replied, drink in hand, “have you compared notes to Lya? I’d love to know how she felt in my bed…”
“No, I haven’t seen her since you sent me home…” Mimi paused, eyes growing wide, glancing over at a couple of the guests, balloon in hand.
Jess followed her gaze, staring at the balloon, relation dawning,
“WAIT!”
