(Clown Tf / various TFs)

I never imagined that I would be walking through a rainbow forest with the smell of cotton candy filling my nose after the hell I had been through today. I was fired and humiliated, but now I was in a magic candy forest in my dreams. I walked through the forest wanting to uncover what was next for me. Actually, I was being led rather than walking, by myself. My pink clown balloon Pinky tugged at my arm leading the way and my clown shoes that were way too big on me made sure that I kept pace. I nearly tripped over them countless times but my new BBFF, (that's Best Balloon Friend Forever) held me up. Soon I heard something in the distance.

It was a sound that I recognized anywhere. The sounds of laughter and crazy music. The sounds of a Circus. I rushed forwards almost tripping on my shoes with each step until I reached a clearing. And as I ran out of a bush I was assaulted by a flurry of light and music. In front of me stood a massive red and yellow striped tent that was the size of a skyscraper, with a multi-colored fence that surrounded it, and a large sign reading “Looney Lucy’s Wacky Whimsical Cirus of Fools and Wonders!” in large colorful bubbly letters.

I looked at Pinky and asked her trying to hind my excitement, “Is this where you were taking me?” She nodded looking almost as excited as me. I looked towards the circus with childish wonder in my eyes, “Come on I can’t wait any longer!”

I ran towards the entrance only to be greeted by a long line of people the longest line I had ever seen, I sighed to myself. I never thought that there would be a line in my dream, and if there was I would be whisked away to the front. The line was comically long, winding like a snake around the lot, but I looked like I was stuck so I join the line without complaint. While in the line a noticed something about the people, they were dressed like me, well not exactly like but in the same style. Their clothing looked like they got caught in a tie-dye explosion, and had similar overdone make-up and wig-looking hair to me. I didn’t bother asking the others about it, as they seemed not to care or notice.

I waited in line, getting more and more excited as I got closer and closer to the entrance. My excitement reminded me of when I when to my first circus, and just like back then I could barely contain my excitement. A sudden tap on my shoulder brought me out of my childhood memories and into my dream-like reality. I turned around and saw a woman standing behind me. She was wearing a blouse with one side red and the other blue and it had large oversized buttons, and she wear a tutu skirt with red and blue ruffles. Her hair was long reaching down to her shoulders and was red and blue like her shirt. She wore bright red lipstick and had a dot on it on her nose.

“Excuse me miss, are you handing out balloons?” she asked with a nervous look on her face as if she spent her entire time in line building up the courage to ask that one question. “Well, it’s pretty cute and… well…”

“I’m sorry, Pinky was a gift,” I smiled warmly trying to make her less embarrassed. “I’m sure that you can get a balloon like her once you are inside.”

“Oh my god are you not a clown!?” She asked in a panic looking like she just wanted to disappear. “I’m so sorry!”

“I wish.” I laughed, “But I guess we all look like clowns.”

“Yeah, sorry about that…” she scratched her head, “My name is Holly.”

“I’m Marry,” she responded back to her. “So what brings you to Looney Lucy’s?”

“I heard about this place online, apparently you get to see all kinds of weird stuff here.” She explained looking like she was about to explode with excitement which was a far departure from how she was a second ago. “I may not seem like it, but I’m always looking for weird urban legends like this on the internet. Looney Lucy’s is supposed to be this weird underground freak show with some crazy performances that have audience participation. Once I started digging into this place and then got a weird package and next thing I knew I awoke in a clearing back there.”

I scratch my head, I heard about every circus. And I should have definitely heard about his place if it is as weird as she made it sound. Wait she mentions a weird package. “You said something about a package, I got one too, that’s how I got Pinky, my new shoes, and a whoopee cushion.”

“Weird mine just exploded into a bunch of colors and I woke up here.” a childish smile formed on her face, “Maybe those clowns chose you for something in their show, I would watch your back if I was you.”

“Their clowns, I doubt that they are going to do anything to me, maybe a pie in the face that's the worst they have.” I shrugged. I tried to hide the fact that the feeling of this being all made up in my head started to slip.

“I don’t know, looking at our clothes, hair, and makeup they probably drugged us and changed our clothes and put all of this stuff on us. You would be surprised about how many places do things like this to people. But they usually have you sign a consent form first.” she had a smile of glee on her face that did not match what severity of what she said.

“You let people do that kind of stuff to you?” I asked her, as I started to get worried about the circus and if it was some kind of sick trick.

“No, I’m too scared to go to one of those places, but I heard about them online.” Neveriously scratch the back of her head as if she was telling an embarrassing secret. “I just like looking up weird places and groups online, this is the first time I've actually when to one. Even if it wasn’t intentional.”

I puffed out my chest and pointed to my chest, “Well you're lucky that I’m an expert on circuses.” The two of us laughed at how ridiculous I sounded loudly proclaiming it as if I was an achievement. The two of us talked as we continue through the line until we reached the front.

Once we got to the gate we saw a strange man manning the booth. He was a hobo clown with a wide smile exaggerated by his bright red lips he wore overalls that would have been oversized on anyone, but they clung to his round pear-shaped body as if they were skin tight.

“Evening ladies,” he said in a booming Brooklyn accent. “You gals got tickets?”

The two of us started frantically looking around in our pockets for tickets, but they were nowhere to be found. I looked at Holly who had a disappointed look on her face, and I knew that she had no luck either.

I got up to the ticket booth window, and pleaded, “Can we buy tickets here, please.”

“HUCK HUCK HUCK!!!” the clown laughed his belly bouncing like a beating drum. “Sorry toots what’ch need for a ticket is more than money can buy!”

“Please, mister,” I begged, I can too far and refused to back down now. “I will do anything, I just want to see the circus.”

He cross his arms and looked down at me and smiled. “Well toots you gals want to get in, and you say that you will do anything?”

 He motioned me to come closer with his gloved hand. He brought his hand up to my ear and whispered something. What he said caused me to laugh. It was so obvious what he was talking about he was a clown after all. The realization that I would have given him all of my money for a ticket when the answer was so simple made me burst into laughter.

Holly stared at me as if I was insane. Well I don’t blame her I looked like I was on the verge of tears and then suddenly I started to burst out laughing. My laughter started to infect her, and she started laughing along with me, but nowhere near as hard.

The sound of confetti poppers snapped us out of our laughing fits. We both turned to the clown who had his arms stretched in the air with the poppers in hand. “Looks like you gals found your tickets. A smile is all the boss chargers. We can’t have frowns when there are clowns out and about, it’s the rule are these parts.” He stepped out of the booth and opened the gate. “Looks like you gals got lucky, the show is about to start.” Holly and I looked at each other and shrugged and walked towards the entrance. Before we could step inside of the tent the clown jumped in front of us faster than his body should be able to move. He looked down at us and ominously say “But remember girls there is one. ONE Important rule that you must follow.” The two of us looked at each other and gulped. “HAVE FUN!!!” he said as he move behind us faster than his body should have been able to carry him and pushed us into the darkness of the tent.

The two of us began to fall into an endless dark abyss. We both screamed terrified wondering what we got ourselves into. Was this place like those places that Holly described while we were waiting in line places, where the actors got up close and personal doing whatever they wanted to the audience, evening putting them in danger. Suddenly as we started to lose hope a pink and purple swirl came into view. We landed on what was a pink and purple funnel and started to spin down it like it was a water slide, getting closer to the center with each rotation. Our screams of fear, became laughter as we spun around the sild. I saw Holly disappear down the center, I called after her as her voice faded away. Soon I followed her falling down a long tube slide that twisted and curved in ways that I didn’t think were possible. I saw a bright light come into view. The light got closer and closer, and I closed my eyes bracing for impact.

FFFRRRRTTTTTTT!!!!!

I landed on something soft and cushiony. I shifted my weight and another but smaller fart sound came out. I opened my eyes to the sound of Holly’s laughter. The two of us were sitting in what looked like a half-circle stadium inside of a tent and the seats we were sitting in all had sensitive whoopee cushions as cushions. And in the center, there was a large tent covering what I assumed was the stage. I looked around and saw the seats packed to the brim with people.

“Pretty weird, Marry.” she laughed.

I took another moment to take in my surroundings before I responded to her, “Yeah, what was up with that slide how was it even possible.”

She put her finger on her chin trying to figure out the most sensible explanation for what happened a minute ago, “I don’t know…. But that’s the magic of these places.”

I smiled, “That's the magic of the circus.”

“Hey what happened to your balloon?” she asked as she pointed at my wrist.

Where I tied Pinky string sat a note, picked up the note and read it “Be back soon, enjoy the show.”. The ticket clown must have taken her before pushing us down. She might have gotten in the way of the people behind me, but as long as I get her back I don’t care.

She turned to me and laughed. Before she could speak up, a loud raspy voice filled the tent. “Ladies and Gentlemen put your hands together for the one and only Looney Lucy!”

Spotlights showed on the tent in the center, and it was whisked away into the air, revealing a largely empty circular stage with a platform in the middle, and a path leading to an opening in the wall that was shaped like a wide smiling clown. The lights moved to the open mouth as the sound of screeching wheels echoed out. Out of the opening, a tiny multi-colored car that was small enough for a child drove out at high speed accompanied by circus music. It circled around the platform in the middle a few times before opening the passenger door. With each rotation, a clown flew out landing clumsily around the stage. The clowns were like nothing I had ever seen, they were all shapes and sizes making their proportions look out of place on a human as if they stepped out of a cartoon. As the hoard of disproportioned figures stopped appearing the car stopped behind the platform. The driver's door opened and a figure stepped out.

She was a slender and on the shorter side and wore a bright pink ringmaster jacket with long coattails, a purple vest, and a dark pink shirt under it finished by an oversized pink and purple striped tie, as well as a mini skirt that matched her jacket, pink and purple stockings with strips on the right and polka dots on the left, massive high heel clown shoes, four-fingered slender white gloves, and topped by a pink top hat. But her bright-colored clothing wasn’t what attracted my eyes, it was her body. She had an all too perfect hourglass figure with breasts that were larger than her head, and an ass and thighs at rivaled them. Her chalk-white makeup, with a bright pink smile, hearts around her eyes and on her cheeks, large bright pink round noise, and neon pink hair that reached down to her feet; only seemed to make the woman’s beautiful and perfect soft and inviting yet sharp and domineering face more enticing.

She waved to the audience as she stepped out of the tiny car, as she exited the car she was stopped as her massive butt was too big for the door. She tried to wiggle free, but it was no use. She crossed her arms and pouted as the audience including me and Holly started to laugh. A clown whose legs were so long that they had to be on stilts came around to the other side of the car and opened the door. He wound up his leg and with a powerful kick, she was sent flying from the door and rolling onto the platform butt up towards the audience. She dizzily shook her head and sprang back to her feet. She went to grab something from a pocket inside of her jacket, but her face and effort digging around what should have been a small area made it obvious that it wasn't in there. She started tossing random props like rubber chickens, pies, balloons, and other things including an endless stream of multi-colored rope, she finally gave up on the rope after it pooled around her. She took off her hat and started rummaging through it tossing out more miscellaneous props, then held it in front of her and started shaking it causing more random things to fall out in front of her. But she still couldn’t find what she was looking for. She tugged on her collar nervously, then suddenly her face lit up with a bright contagious smile. She reached down into the pile pulling out a light bulb and holding it above her head causing it to light up. She tosed the light away, opened up her shirt, and started rummaging around in the valley between her breasts, then pulled out a rainbow-colored microphone.

She tapped it to make sure it was working, then spoke into it. “Sorry about that ladies and gentlemen, my fun bags are like couch cushions. You drop one thing between them and they are seemingly lost forever.” The woman’s voice was energetic and childish, but also mature, and slightly alluring. But it was brought back to silliness with her massive distracting lisp caused by a pair of large buck teeth that poked out of her mouth which nearly causes me to giggle at the juxtaposition of her sultry voice.

“Did you miss little old Looney Lucy, boys and girls?” she held out her hand to her ear and listened to the crowd cheer. Holly and I cheered along with the rest of the crowd as we tried not to stand out as standing out was a surefire way to get picked for whatever acts they had in store.

Something about Looney Lucy stuck in my mind. With all of the theatrics just for her introduction and not to mention her body, I am sure I would have heard or at least seen something about her online. But the childlike wonder I had for her pushed those thoughts to the back of my head.

“Sounds like you guys are ready to enter my world of wonder and excitement!” she said with a bright cheerful smile covering her face. “Now be warned what you are about to see will break your understanding of reality, as in my show anything can and will happen. So I won’t promise any of you will leave the same. But remember have fun and enjoy the show!” with those final ominous words she squeezed her nose causing a loud honk to fill the stage accompanied by a hissing sound.

I couldn’t believe my eyes with what I saw next. Her body started to inflate starting at her belly, causing her to look like she was at least nine months pregnant or triple her weight within seconds. The rest of her body started to join in her inflation, as her already massive breasts grew larger, and her slender limbs puffed up to the size of tree trunks with sausage-like fingers on her bloated hands. Her body started to grow rounder and rounder and began to lift off the floor as if she was a human-sized balloon. Her arms and legs began to strain against her body becoming large domes with her hands and feet sticking out flapping as if she was waving goodbye. And her face was puffed up as well as being pulled into a divot where her neck was.  With a pop, her arms and legs disappeared into her body, disappeared wasn’t the right word as they seemed to become printed on it like a 2D image becoming pressed around her expanding belly, and her feet at the bottom of the ball. And with another pop, her head joined her body, with her face printed on the front her the sphere. With another pop, her body seemed to become printed onto the sphere and took a latex shine with her face taking a permanent smile and showing off her comical buck teeth. The balloon clown started to inflate larger as she floated upwards, growing from a human-sized sphere to the size of a car, then a bus, and finally a house. She became like a moon eclipsing the stage lights as she drifted upwards. The sound of creaking rubber was heard throughout the tent. The balloon was reaching its limit but showed no sign of its growth stopping. And then POP! The balloon burst into a cloud of pink confetti and started to rain down upon the audience. I couldn’t help but stare at the raining confetti and think about the clown and how she became so huge and round, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t turned on just a bit.

The circus music picked back up causing our attention to be drawn back to the stage, where the clowns were. They started to perform, doing skits, stunts, and other wacky antics, like all of the other shows I have been to. But unlike the other shows, they were more physical as the clowns took hits, but their bodies squashed and stretched like a cartoon. And their tricks didn’t seem plausible and looked like something out of a rubber hose cartoon, while I know that the magic is behind not knowing their tricks seemed like actual magic. Not that I would complain as I found it entertaining, even Holly who went into the show nervous had lightened up. One thing caught my eye, a certain clown. She was impossibly round, looking like that balloon that started the show but with limbs. And was dressed in bright pink with pigtails that took the shape of a heart. Besides her weird appearance which compared to her companions she fit in perfectly, it was the fact that I don’t remember seeing her when all of the other clowns flew out of the car. And she seemed to constantly look at me. After every trick and stunt, she faced me with a smile as if she was looking for my approval. I pointed her out to Holly, but she brushed it off. The show ended with an explosive slapstick stunt where the round pink clown tripped on a banana peel causing her to slide into the other clowns causing them to get knocked into the air and fall on top of each other, concluding with a massive rainbow explosion covering the stage.

After the smoke cleared a lone figure stood on the stage. It was Loony Lucy. She clapped her hands and spoke into the mic. “What a wonder-full wacky performance don’t you agree?” She took a bow and said, “Well that's all folks, please come again and tell your friends about us, we would love to put a smile on their faces!” the lights shone on the stage turning the center of the stage pitch black. Exits opened along the edges of the tent.

Holly got up from her seat along with the others, “What was fun but not was I was expecting.” she sighed.

“Fun that was amazing!” I shouted. Seeing that show brought me back to my childhood, and I would do anything to see it again.

“Yeah,” she shrugged, “It’s just from what the internet said about this place is that it would be weirder, with more parts like the weird balloon prop at the beginning, and there was supposed to be some kinda weird audience interaction.”

“People always exaggerate stuff like that, I’m just surprised that this place is so underground, with how amazing it was I expected people to be constantly talking about it,” I said as I got up myself. “But yeah, I wish there were more stunts like that balloon at the beginning I’m still wondering how that pulled that off! And I wish we saw Lucy a bit more.”

“What you have a crush on a clown?” she said as she elbowed me.

“What? It’s nothing like that,” I stammer with my face red with embarrassment. “I-I mean the show is named after her, and she had the best part of the show.

Before she could push further the light came back on. It shone upon Lucy who was standing in the center of the stage, with a large grin across her face. “The main show is over, but the after show is about to begin. I heard that most of you folks came looking for little old me, to experience the weird and wacky beyond your boring mundane human life.” she began to laugh, “But be warned thrill-seekers, my wonders are not for the faint of heart, you may never leave the same or even leave at all. So it's is your last chance to back out, but don’t worry no one will blame you, and if you're feeling brave again we will provide tickets for our next show.”

I looked at Holly who had a fearful expression on her face. “What you scared of clowns now?” I teased as I pulled her back to the seat. I watched countless people leave the tent cutting the audience in half. Holly looked like she wanted to be a part of them. “What’s wrong I thought you wanted thrills.”

“Well I, didn’t think I would make it this far, and besides everyone else is leaving some that must mean something is up,” she said trying to hide her nerves. “I was kinda lying about being disappointed about missing the weird stuff, I don’t know what I would do if they called me up. I don’t do well in the spotlight.”

“Come on, their clowns what's the worst they can do?” I said as I patted her on the back.

“I guess your right…” she mumbled.

After a final group of people chickened out the exits to the tent disappeared, sealing off any exit. Lucy looked at the crowd of people with her large bucktooth smile. “Well, looks like we have a big crowd tonight. So you fools ready to see thomething weird and wild!” The crowd cheered including me, but Holly wasn’t as excited.

Lucy motioned to the opening in the tent and a clown pushed a blue 2-foot by 2-foot box with start and moon shapes adorning the sides. The box was placed in front of her and she ran her hand over the top while circling it. “This is my magical Box of Wonders. What happens to the lucky audience member who enters, no one knows but me.” She struck a seductive pose leaning onto her box with her boobs spilling over the top. “It's too late to back out no folks, so let's get started!” she circled the box tapping her gloved hand against her chin, “Usually I do this act solo, but it would be nice to have a partner for this show, liven things up a bit.” She snapped her finger and exclaimed. “Bingo! I have a perfect idea! Well, folks, it’s time for Loony Lucy’s Lucky Light to decide our first audience member!”

A pink spotlight shone on the audience and it began to move around it accompanied by the sound of drums. My heart felt like it was going to explode from the anticipation of who would be chosen or if it would be me. I would love to get up close and join the show alongside the ringmaster. The light shone on me, and it felt like my heart stopped. But it wasn’t centered on me, it was on Holly.

“Looks, like we found, are luckily lady! Now come on down.” Lucy exclaimed. I looked at Holly who was petrified. The clown did a finger gun motion to the frozen girl, before she could say anything in protest the seat beneath her fell away as her along with it. Her voice echoed down the hole as she sunk deeper, like my optimism about this show.

A hole opened up on the stage and Holly came flying out landing in the welcoming arms of Lucy bridal style, I was kind of jealous of her. Holly quickly got out of the clown's arms and back to her feet. Her face was bright red and looked like she wanted to be anywhere but under the spotlight.

Lucy extended her arm with the microphone to her, “So what’s your name, little girl?”

“Holly…” she silently mutters, but it was still understandable through the speakers.

“So what brings you to my show, you don’t look like the kind of person to be here?” the clown said walking around her and scanning her with her pink eyes.

“Um, I have always been interested in weird places, and I heard about your show online, then got a weird box and was here.” She stammered, “I’m sorry, but can you please pick someone else I'm not very good at being on stage…”

Lucy wraps her arm around Holly, “Don’t worry kid, everyone gets stage fright, here is a tip just try and imagine everyone in their underwear worked all the time for me when I first started. Actually, forget that part a fool’s mind likes to wander, which can only mean trouble” the clown's words of advice didn’t make Holly less uncomfortable. Taking note of this Lucy smirked, “Listen here holly, I’m going to cure your stage fright, better yet you're going to want to perform all of the time. Got that sweetie.

“W-what are you going to do?” she asks in fear.

“What do you think that box is for?” the clown said with a laugh. She walked over to the box, lifted it up effortlessly as if it was weightless, and showed each side to the audience with only one square door on the front with the rest being smooth except for a hole on the side. She then pulled a magic wand out of her cleavage. She held up the wand for the audience to see, then taped it on top of the box. Sparkles flew off the wand and another box seamlessly appeared on top of the original, she taped the new section and another box appeared, all of them seamlessly connecting as if they were always one tower. She opened up the door which stretched to match the box’s new length. “Come on, Holly don’t be shy, let's give everyone a show worth remembering.” Holly to a big gulp and stepped inside of the tower reluctantly. Lucy closed the door behind her. Sealing her in the box. “So how you doing in there?” the clown asked knocking on the box.

“It's a little tight in here…” her voice echoed from the box.

“Is the audience ready for Holly to have her stage fright cured?” the clown cheered. Her question was met by the cheering of the audience, I was reluctant at first but I too joined it. Lucy pulled a leaver out of her hat and inserted it inside the hole in the box. “If I'm going to help holly I’m going to need your help. I’ll need you guys and gals to count down from ten, got that?” We all cheered in agreement. “Ok ready Holly, it’s time to cure you?” Holly tried to say something but the clown didn’t listen to her and shouted, “Let’s get started!!!”

Lucy began the countdown, with all of us joining in. With each number, we shouted the clown spun the lever and the tower’s height diminished. Holly’s complaints were drowned out by our shouting. At the halfway mark the tower lost one of the cubes completely and at three seconds Holly was forced into a 2-foot by 2-foot cube. And as the count down reached zero the cube became a rectangle only having a foot in height.

Lucy pulled out the lever and put the mic up to the hole. “So how you hanging in there Holly?”

“Everything is so tight, I can’t move!” she said in a frantic burst. “My body is contorted and smashed together!”

The crowd gasp upon hearing her fear, and I knew I should have listened to her wanting to leave.

“Holly calm down,” Lucy said patting the box, “Are you hurt?”

“No, I don’t feel anything, it’s just so cramped, I can’t explain it.” She says questioning even herself and how she is unharmed in her current situation.

“See folks, no harm comes to the participants,” she says patting the box. She reaches into her hat and pulls out a sliding switch. “You guys ready for the last part of Holly’s treatment?” The crowd cheers giving their answer clearly, I didn’t answer the clown. She put her ear next to the hole in the box and spoke into it, “You ready, girl after this is over your never going to want to leave the stage?”

“Yeah, I guess. I’m this far so why not…” she said with unsure words.

“You heard her folks!” Lucy says before putting the device onto the side of the box. “Can we get another countdown!” Everyone including me joined in with her countdown as she slid the slider on the box. As the slider moves the box shrunk. And after the countdown reached zero, it was the size of a shoebox. Lucy picked up the box and lifted the girl who was crushed into the box with ease. She took off the slider and tossed the box between her hands. “How are you doing in there Holly?” The only thing that could be made out was a muffled voice. “Sounds like they hanging in there folks.” She took the box in one hand and her wand in the other. “Now there is one more step that we need to do before we can cure her. We need to say the magic words, “Fear, Fear go away! Clown, Clown come out and play!” she cheered.”Now we need to thay it all together for it to work!”

I looked at the box in her hand, it noticed it was moving a bit. It had to be my imagination or a prop. Wait Holly was probably an actor who pretends to be a member of the audience so elaborate ticks like this work perfectly. There was probably a hidden door on the bottom of the box and floor, yeah she is below the stage speaking into a microphone there is no way she could be inside of the box. WIth my fears quenched and decided to partake in the show, and joined in with the cheering of the magic spell.

“Fear, Fear go away! Clown, Clown come out and play!”

“Fear, Fear go away! Clown, Clown come out and play!”

“Fear, Fear go away! Clown, Clown come out and play!”

Upon the last time saying the words Lucy waved her wand around the air sparkling in the air then tapped the box spreading the effects to it.

“Now are you folks ready for the new and improved Holly?” she cheered holding the box in the air. Where cheered back at her. She turned away from the audience and opened the box. When she turned around she had something on her hand. It was a hand puppet? It was wearing a jester outfit that was red on one side and blue on the other and had a large frilled collar, and big red buttons down the outfit. On its head was a jester hat with bells on the end in matching color to its clothes. But its face is what made my heart and jaw drop. It looked like a muppet version of Holly with clown makeup Red on one side and Blue on the other, with a pale white face, and finished by a round red noise.

“Why is everything so big?” a voice like Holly’s be much higher came from the puppet.

“Everything isn’t big silly, you are just very small!” Lucy said as she pointed the puppet towards her.  The puppet brought its hands in front of its face looking at its new small mittened hands. “So how do you feel Holly, still have the stage fright?”

The puppet Holly began to laugh hysterically. She stopped and wiped a non-existent tear from her eye, and her puppeteer turned her back to the audience. “Why would I have stage fright as long as I have my costar, I ain't got nothing to worry about. Well, I feel like I can sing a song or tell a joke, I know a perfect one about a sock puppet. The world is my stage and I can’t wait to show them my stuff.”

“Looks like our friend Holly has been cured, and I just found myself a co-star for tonight.” Lucy giggles.

“Holly?“ The puppet spoke up, “That old name is the old boring me. The one that would rather sit behind a computer looking for the weirdest stuff the world has to offer indeed than experience it for herself. But no longer! Name’s Mittens, and I’m going to have a front-row seat to the wackiness from now on!”

“Glad to hear it, Mittens,” Lucy says with a massive smile on her face happy to help someone. “Speaking of, let's move on to our next act!”

“Sounds like a plan boss!” the puppet cheered, “But can I make a quick suggestion?”

“Sure thing partner!” Lucys brought the puppet to her ear and it whispered to her. “Sorry, that’s is going to have to wait a bit I have special plans already.”

“Sounds exciting you have to tell me more after the show!” Mittens says with her plastic eyes filled with joy and wonder.

This had to be a dream I thought to myself after witnessing what just happened. My mind could not comprehend the events after Holly disappeared. It had to be a dream, this has become all too real for practical effects.

“So what's the plan boss?” Mittens asked scratching her head.

“Yeah, that is a good question Mittens,” Lucy says mimicking her puppet's actions and confusion. “I was planning to have another clown help out with, but I got a bit carried away with you.”

“Whatcha mean?” The puppet said putting her hands the closest thing to where her not existence hips would be. “I can do plenty of stuff! I can sing, tell jokes, can dance as long as it only involves hands, and I’m even learning to juggle but it’s kinda hard due to the size.”

“That's the problem Mittens!” Lucy said putting her free hand on her hip mimicking the puppet and giving her a playful pout. “You are too small and I don’t think you want a mouth full of levers and doodads,” She rose her hand to the audience as if whispering to us something that she didn’t want her puppet to hear. “And trusts me they don’t taste as good as they look.”

“So how are we going to fix our conundrum boss?” Mittens says before pausing for a brief second and then jumping back to life. “I know!”

The two winked at each other as Lucy pulled out a remote with a single red button and said in unison.

“With our trusty tool, Loony Lucy’s Lucky Light!!!”

“You may have the honors, my handy friend,” Lucy said bringing the remote in front of the puppet.

“Why thank you, boss.” Mittens said slamming her tiny hands into the button with all her might just to barely push it down.

The same suspenseful drum roll began again. Where it was once an exciting hopeful rhythm to me it was now each beat filled me with dread and each time the light came by I sulked down into my chair to hide from it as that would save me. As the drums got faster a shut my eyes hoping to wake up, part of me wanted to believe I was still dreaming and that the girl I just met wasn’t turned into a puppet. It was all too real to be an elaborate show. The drum roll stopped and my heart sank. Did Holly somehow choose me as revenge for getting her turned into a puppet by stopping her from escaping? I heard a woman scream, I opened my eyes and let out a sigh of relief that it wasn’t me who was chosen for whatever Lucy had in store.

Out of a hole in the ground, a chubby young woman with messy hair and a frumpy sweater that didn’t match the multi-colored design that affected her like everyone else came fling out into the outstretched arms of the clown. Lucy caught the frightened girl squeezing her and spinning her around like a child with an oversized plush. She put the shaken girl back on the ground and gave her a little pat on the head.

Lucy held a microphone to the girl who was still recovering from the shock, “And what’s your name little girl?” The woman stood there frozen on the spot looking around as if waiting for someone to come to her rescue.

“Come on miss, you got nothing to worry about we don’t bite.” Mittens chimed in.

The woman’s face became bright red and it looked almost painful for her to utter her name. “Britney… my name is Britney. Can I please go back to my seat I don’t want to be a clown?”

“Wait you got stage fright too?” Mittens gasps. “Well don’t worry friend my boss Lucy is the best doctor around for your sickness!”

Lucy brushes off the prase with a giggle, “You flatter me. But my friend is correct Britney, I’m the best doc for stage fright.”

“It’s nothing like that, I just don’t want to be turned into a clown or anything,” she says with a look of fear as she backs away from the ringleader. “I just want to stay plain old me nothing weird.”

The enthusiasm fades from Lucy as she slumps over and pouts. “Well, that’s no fun…” You sure you don’t want to be a clown? Like super absolute positively one hundred present sure you don’t want to be a clown even for of a minute?” Both Lucy and Mittens scratch their head trying to figure out a way to convince the woman. Mittens lean in and whispers something to Lucy whose smile becomes brighter than before. “Well ok then borning Britney, I see you don’t want to have fun. You would rather sit on your computer all day anyway.”

“Yeah, such a shame…” Mittens shrugs, “Think about all of the fun and exciting things you can do. Hey look at me I’m having a blast.”

“Yeah, if you want we can turn you back after the show,” Lucy says as her smile becomes more devious, “But I guess I have to give this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to someone else.” She said as she began to turn and walk away.

“Fine, I will do it,” Britney stammers out. The two clowns perk up and hold each other's hand with a look of pure excitement on their faces as they cheer in unison. Britney says to the pair, “But you have to turn me back ok? No tricks or anything like that I want to be human after you are done with whatever you two are planning.

“Only if you want to!” Lucy says as she appears next to her wrapping her arm around her shoulder. “But trust me you won’t want to go back to being a boring old human after tonight!”

“Being a clown is the best!” Mittens cheers, “I wouldn’t even dream of being human again!”

“Ok… I will try it, Britney mutters, “But I doubt that I would want to say a clown.”

“Well, we will see about that!” Lucy says as she motions the woman to her Magic Box of Wonders. She brings her puppet to her cleavage and she rummages around the white cannon until she pulls out a magic wand and what looked like a plastic divider. Lucy takes the wand from Mittens and taps it on the box causing it to grow in size becoming as tall and wide as Britney. She opens the door and motions the girl inside. Britney reluctantly enters barely fitting inside and having to squeeze her plump body inside the cube filling it out. Before she could protest the door was slammed shut and disappeared.

Lucy turns to address the crowd with a large smile on her face. “Sorry about that folks! Sometimes it takes a little persuading to get the show on the road. But now we are ready to begin. So our new friend is going to be our special little helpers for tonight and who knows maybe if we can show them a good time they will stick around.”

Lucy takes the divider from the puppet and drags her wand across the top of the cube creating a long slot across the top. Next, the clown forcefully inserts the divider into the slot which goes down all of the way despite the woman inside causing her to gasp. She knows the side of the cube and asks the trapped girl how she is doing. Britney tells her clown that she is fine but there was a weird pinch other than that she is fine, but her voice and a weird echo to it as if coming from two places at once. Lucy tells her that she thinks it’s normal as she has never tried the trick before. Britney starts to panic and tries to escape but her banging is futile. Lucy and the rest of the audience other than me laugh at the frightened girl. The clown smiles and lets Mittens twirl the wand around causing sparkles to come off of it landing on the box and with a tap of the wand the box began to shrink. Its size diminished from a good five foot four with a wide width to a small 3 feet with the width shrinking to match the new proportions. Mittens knocked on the box this time asking the same questions that her puppeteer asked before, getting a muffled panic in response. Lucy told us that she had just one more step before the new and improved Britney’s reveal. She grabbed a side of the box and began spinning it around turning the cube into a blur of colors as the trapped woman’s cries got louder, the box continues to spin until it is just a blue blur on the stage and with each spin, the trapped girl's voice began to die down till it was non-existent. Suddenly Lucy catches the side of the box and stoping it in place.

Mittens tapped the box with the wand causing the door to reappear. Lucy stood in front of the box and reached for a door and swung it open as she declared, “Now say hello to our new clown Britney!”

The entire audience including me gasped, at the sight. Upon hearing the sound of our surprise instead of cheering and laughter coming from us and the new clown, Lucy’s smile faded and became panic. She looked inside the box and saw the sight we saw. The box was divided into two parts with similar scenery on both sides. The clothing that Britney was wearing was cut in half by the divider and fallen limp on both sides, and pooling around the clothing was a creamy puddle of white with pink and purple goo joining the mix on either side.

“Oh poo…” The clown frowned. “Looks like I gave her a bit too much spin. Oh well, accidents happen.”

“Will she be alright boss?” Mittens asked in a panic, “She looks like melted ice cream…”

“Eh, don’t worry about it,” she says with a reassuring smile. Lucy closes the box and picks it up with one hand. “Just gotta give her a little shake up and work some clownly magic and she will be good as new. Well, maybe a bit scatterbrained but what good clown isn’t?”

Lucy began to toss and spin the box in the air effortlessly juggling it between her fingers and even bouncing it against her large behind. While the box was in the air she took off her hat and placed it on the ground before catching the box. Mittens pressed the wand against the side of the box creating a hole in it. Lucy held the box above her hand and thick goopy white and pink liquid began to pour into it. Once the hat was full to the brim with the girl-turned goop, She juggled the box to the ground and held the hat up to Mittens to stir the pink and white soup with the wand. After she stirred the soup for a minute she taped the brim with the wand causing a large explosion of pink smoke. As the smoke cleared two pink things stuck out of the hat. With a closer inspection, they looked like rabbit ears.

“Once again sorry about the delay folks!” Lucy said with an apologetic bow.

“Well, some of the best tricks are the ones that are improvised like you always say,” Mittens cheers.

“You got that right partner,” Lucy said with a wink, “Now let's get are newest clown on stage. “

Lucy began to pull on the air of pink ears, with no success. She struggled to get whatever was in their free until she got it unstuck causing her to lose her grip and fall backward. Out from the hat poked Britney’s head but it was different. Her messy hair was now a neon pink neat short bob cut with a pair of matching ears sticking out, her face was chalk white with pink makeup, hearts on her cheeks, and a large round pink orb on her nose.

“Bon?” the new clown girl muttered in confusion. A shadow loomed over her spooking her and causing her to mutter out “Bon!” again. Lucy picked her up and petted her head causing her to mutter out a more relaxed “Bon…”

“Aw, she is so cute!” Mittens squealed as she clutches her heart.

“I bet she would look better once she is fully outside of the hat,” Lucy said as she grabbed the bunny girl's ears and began to pull once again.

Britney began to squeal the word “Bon” as she was being pulled out of her tight confinement and with a loud pop the trio few backward landing with a thud on the ground. Lucy picked up the hat once again and showed it off to us. Sticking out above the brim was a pair of colossal perky breasts that nearly rivaled Lucy’s own. The new clown struggled a bit and with a “Bon” and a popping sound her slender arms popped out with four-fingered gloves on her hands. With more “Bon”s coming from the girl as she wiggled around she popped her torso out. Her new impossibly slender body burst out causing her breasts to jiggle about. She looked down at herself struggling to see past her new assets. Her old frumpy sweater was now replaced with a skin-tight bunny suit matching her hair’s color and with black hearts as detail. The bunny clown started to shift around to free herself, but a final tug from Lucy is what did the trick getting her small yet firm ass and large pink tail out of the hat. Lucy held the three-foot-tall top-heavy clown bunny girl by her ears showing her off us like a magician who pulled a rabbit out of her hat, which is exactly what she did.

“So Britney what is it like being a sexy clown bunny girl?” Lucy asks the clown.

“Bon?” The new clown said with a confused look on her face as she tilted her head.

“Looks like you scrambled her head too much boss?” Mittens ask giving the bunny clown a pat on the head causing her to let out a playful “Bon!”

“But look at her she is so cute and is definitely happier this way, “ Lucy squeaked. “Right BonBon, you like being a silly little busty bunny babe don’t you?”

“BON! BON!” BonBon cheered bouncing up and down causing her breasts to bounce mesmerizingly.

“You will make an excellent little helper BonBon,” Lucy says petting the girl on the head causing her to purr. “Now let’s get your sister out so she can join you.”

BonBon nodded and bolted over to the box leaving a streak of pink in her trail. The three repeated the same process of pouring the purple and white girl turned goop into the hat stirring it up and fishing up with the magic touch, and with a poof, a pair of purple ears came out of the hat. BonBon eagerly pulled them popping a matching head out of the hat the only differences telling the two apart were the news clown girl’s purple hair and diamonds on her cheeks and her uttering “Bun?” in confusion.

The two bunny clowns began a conversation that only consisted of “Bon” and “Bun”. BonBon easily pulled her sister's less ample torso out of the hat thanks to her less ample chest that made mine look generous. The four clowns ran into a problem when it came to getting the bunny’s buns out of the hat struggling as they did with BonBon’s chest. And with a final pop, they finally free the poor rabbit. And with her free, her massive ass was on display being the size of beachballs.

The two bunny girls shook their assets at each other sharing in their conversations that consisted of the same two words. They were interrupted when Lucy came from behind and taped the purple one on her massive ass to get her attention. “BunBun I presume?”

“BUN!” the girl now dubbed BunBun squealed with joy.

“So how do you two like being clowns,” Lucy asked while she and Mittens pet the two. “Rember you still can back out after the show.”

The two bunny girls cocked their heads and confusingly let out their respective words to each other as if they hadn’t had the slightest clue what Lucy was talking about or any memories of being one person. They looked at Lucy and smiled and cheered while jumping up and down letting their assets jiggle wildly.

Lucy smiled as she motioned for the two to calm down, “Alright girls, I understand. I don’t blame you for wanting to stay as cute bunny babes! Now let's get to work we have a show to finish!” Lucy pulls the two girls close and whispers something into their ears, the two bunny girls bounce back giddily with smiles beaming on their faces. And within an instant, the two girls disappear with a cartoon smoke cloud in their place and a trail leading to the stage’s exit. And before I could process what happened they returned as fast as they disappeared BonBon with a large cannon and BunBun with a large target and rings in their hands. The two got to work setting up the next act placing the rings in a line lending to the target and the cannon aimed at the center finishing by lighting the rings ablaze. The two returned to Lucy’s giving her a loose salute and received a pat on the head for their good work.

Lucy stepped in front ready to make her next announcement, we already knew what to expect and any of us with any sense of sanity dreaded the thought of it. Her voice barreled through the tent bringing all eyes to her. “Alright boys and girls, you have all heard of a human cannonball before right? Well, I do things a bit differently here at Looney Lucy’s Wacky Whimsical Cirus of Fools and Wonders!”

“How so?” Mittens added.

“Well, you see humans aren’t the most aerodynamic and get a little bit messy.” She said as she saturated around the comically large cannon posing with it and showing it off like it was a prize on a gameshow. “Sad but true, don’t say I didn’t try. I used skinny ones, round ones, every body type under the sun, but they never flew just right also never stuck the landing. And we here at Looney Lucy’s Wacky Whimsical Cirus of Fools and Wonders, strive to give you adoring viewers top-of-the-line quietly shows. And I have found the perfect solution to my aerodynamics problem.”

“How so?” The puppet said as she scratch her head, “ Have you tried clowns you should know how durable we are better than anyone else?”

Lucy put her finger over the puppet's mouth silencing her,” Shhhh! I was just getting to the good part, and yes I have tried clowns but not just any old clown will make a perfect cannonball.” She motioned to BonBon and BunBun who brought her box over. “You should know how this show works by now my handy friend. Now kets get our next participant with our trusty tool, Loony Lucy’s Lucky Light!!!”

Once again the drumming filled the tent and the spotlight moved around the audience. Anyone like me who was ignorant of the intention of the show upon entering looked around in fear hoping not to be the next person to be turned into a clown and shot out of a cannon. Once the light stopped we all took a looked at the unfortunate woman who was chosen. She was a middle-aged office worker who gave off an air of professionalism I imagined that she came here with neat short black hair and a clean white blouse, but now her hair was neon green and her blouse was a mix-match of colors. She tried to escape her chair when it dropped below her but she was sucked down preventing any escape. She landed with a thud on the stage, before the clowns could come to her aid she brushed herself off and got to her feet.

“YOU freaks stay away from me!” She shouted, “You can use someone else into a human cannonball for all I care but there is no way in hell I’m letting you shoot me out of that thing.”

“Sorry, Miss but the light chose you, and there are no takebacks.” Lucy shrugged with a devious smile on her face, “If you didn’t want to participate then why did you stay here after my warning silly?”

The placed her hands on her hips and stared down the clowns not letting them out of her sight, “I was intrigued by your show. Magic isn’t my thing but all it comes down to is smoke and mirror so I wanted to find out how you did it, that's all.”

“You don’t believe in magic,” Mittens asks mimicking the office woman’s pose. “Then how do you explain little old me?”

“Simple,” she sighed, “You a hand puppet, and that actor's voice is coming from the speakers inside of the mouth. The two scantily clad midgets that “were” that fat girl who was also an actor were switched out puppets that were in your hat the large clouds of smoke made it obvious.” She rested her hand on her chin and give a smug look, “Is there anything else I need to add, that box of yours is most likely connected to a hidden trap door. I know that this is all fake, but don’t think that I will let you drag my reputation into the mud by being a part of your show.”

“If this is all fake then are you an actor too?” Lucy asked putting her finger on her chin with a look of childish curiosity.

“Well, erm?” the woman stuttered, “Well-”

“What me to prove my magic to you?” Lucy laughed placing her hand on her hips and leaning towards the woman, “I have a real quick trick to prove my tricks are real!” She pointed her gloved finger at the woman and laughed, “Let me guess your name!”

“The woman’s brow twitched she had enough of the clown and this was the end for her, “Guess my name, like that will prove you are magic all you need is a luc-” She stopped mid-sentence. Gurgling coming from her broke the silence. She grasped her stomach as the noises begin to grow louder. A bump began to form on her belly she screamed in a panic trying to push against it. The bump grew larger and larger resembling that of a pregnant woman. Her thighs and butt started to fatten up matching her growing chest making her look like she had child-bearing hips. Her belly busted out of her blouse flooding out in front of her for everyone to see. She tried to cover her belly but it was too big and round for her hands to reach around. Tears in her pants started to form causing her plump skin to explode into the open air. She clutched her chest and started to moan. Her face became bright red and she started panting wildly. She moaned again and something started pushing against the bottom of her pants. She couldn’t stop herself from mixing moans between her panting as the lump in her pants grew bigger. And with one final push and moan, she collapsed to the ground as her pants split down the middle and what she birth popped free.

A multicolored egg that wouldn’t look out of place in an easter basket lay on the ground next to the woman heavily panting. The egg was covered in her girly fluids that form a pool between the two.

“An egg?!” she moan between exhausted and lust-filled breaths.

“Come to momma eggy!” Lucy said kneeling and patting her lap.

The egg started to shake and crack. Out of the bottom of the shell, a pair of legs wearing clown shoes poked out. All eyes were on the egg including the woman who seemed to have gotten over her birthing. The egg waddled over to Lucy stopping in front of her, once it reached her it began to shake and crack then exploded into a puff of smoke. Out of the smoke Lucy picked up a small card. She took a glance at the card and smiled.

“Give it up for Kathy Phillip!” she cheered. The audience was ecstatic about whatever we have just seen. Thankfully there were others in the audience like me who just stared in shock.

“Wasn’t that a bit excessive boss,” Mittens asked, “You could have just pulled an endless line of cloth from her mouth or something like that?”

“I guess,” the clown shrugged with an expression telling that she could have cared less. “But hey it proves that we clowns are magic and I don’t take anyone who calls me a faker lightly.” She tosses the card away and turns her slight back on Kathy laying on the floor with a look of terror. Lucy snapped her hand and BonBon and BunBun appeared behind Kathy with a devilish glint in their eyes. They hoisted her up but her arms and carried the woman to their boss.

Lucy pinched the woman’s cheek and smiled, “You ready to be a clownly cannonball, Kathy?” Kathy just looked in fear unable to respond. “You didn’t say no and that is a yes to ME!” Lucy said as she took her wand from Mittens and taped her box.

The box grew to almost the size of Kathy looking like it could fit most of her body inside. Next holes began to form in the sides of the box, one on the top and each side and a pair on the bottom that Lucy showed the audience. A large door appeared welcoming the woman inside.

BonBon and BunBun tossed Kathy inside with ease and shut the door behind her trapping her inside. As if the box was controlling her head, hands, and feet stuck out of the holes leaving her torso and the rest of her body inside of the box.

“What are you going to do to me?” she begged all of her confidence was now gone.

“You see the problem with a human cannonball is their shape. Even with your new plumpness, you are still not round enough.” Luck smirked resting her head in her arms on the box and looking at the trapped woman, “You look like a smart lady so you can figure out the rest.”

“No please I’m sorry!” she pleaded, “Your magic is real I won’t doubt magic again! Just let me go!”

“Sorry, Kathy but you were always going to end up as my cannonball even if you believed in magic.” Lucy smiled sticking out her tongue playfully.

Kathy went to say something but was cut off by a gasp. BunBun plunged something into the back of the box and by the look on the woman’s face, it went right into the space that was previously occupied. The bunny girl ran over to a large seesaw that had a tube connected to it with her twin waving to her.

“Don’t worry Kathy you're going to enjoy this trust me.” Lucy smiled, “Hit it, girls!”

The two bunny girls nodded and began jumping up and down on the seesaw and each rase and lower caused a bulge of travel through the tube and into the box and Kathy which caused a stretching sound. Pleasure filled her face despite her attempts to hide it. She waved her hand and feet around in a futile attempt to free herself but we all knew that she was already a lost cause.

“So how are you feeling? Are you getting full yet?” Lucy asked poking at the box.

“I can’t feel my arms and legs and my body is running out of space! Please stop I will do anything!” Kathy pleaded through gasps while on the verge of tears.

“When you put it like that I guess I do feel a little bad,” The clown said with a pout, “You know what I overreacted a bit, so I will cut you some slack what do you say.”

“Yes please, I’m sorry!”

“Ok girls that's enough!” Lucy said to the bouncing bunnies who jumped off and landed with grace.”

“You're seriously going to let her get off scot-free after what you already did to her?” Mittens asked.

“Don’t worry she said she will do anything remember.” Lucy laughed.

“I guess you’re right boss!” Mittens joined in with her boss's laughter.

BonBon and BunBun opened the box revealing the sight of the poor woman, causing a greater reaction than what happened to Britney. “What-what did you do to me! The poor woman cried, “You said you would stop!”

Kathy’s body was completely round, her torn clothing given away a long time ago giving us a clear view of her round body. Everything about it was round with her breasts and ass only being a slight protrusion on the sphere, but what was worse was her arms and legs were completely consumed by her round body leaving her hands and feet sticking out and wiggling uselessly.

“I did stop, you are round enough already!” Lucy laughed mocking her and poking her spherical belly. “And you did say that you would do anything right?”

“No, no, no please don’t turn me back to normal I beg you!”

“Honey, normal doesn’t mean anything in my show!” she cheered as she slammed shut the door. “Alright folks she is a bit too big to fit in the cannon, so let us fix that!”

Lucy tapped her wand on the box and it started to shrink. She ignored Kathy’s pleading for her to stop and gave her a smug smile in return. The box grew smaller but her head and limbs stayed the same size, making her look even more ridiculous. Soon the box was only the size of a basketball when it stopped shrinking.

“Please just fire me out of that stupid cannon already I just want this to be over,” Kathy begged once more, and once again it fell on deaf ears.

“No can do you head is a wee too big,” Lucy said before tapping her with her wand.

Within an instant, Kathy’s head began to shrink, she cried out her voice getting higher and smaller every second until her head was the size of a golf ball resting on top of her orb of a body.

“What did you do to my head!” she cries out her hand waving frantically trying to reach her shrunken head but their lack of limbs made it impossible.

“I didn't do anything,” Lucy said with a condescending smile that the ball girl didn’t pick up on, “Are you sure that it wasn’t always that size?”

“Yes, my head was way big like as big as your head!” she said with a pout.

“Well, I don’t know with a head as small as yours your brain must be pretty small as well?” Lucy adds with a chuckle.

“You calling me a dumb-dumb!” Kathy shouted, “I am super smart my head is supposed to be big.”

“I hate to break it to you, but your a big dumb dumb with a little head,” Lucy shrugged. “Let me prove it, what’s two plus two?”

“Ugh?” Kathy thought long and hard about the answers becoming visibly frustrated in the process until she burst out her answer. “Twenty Two! No, wait four! I think? Wait no ignore that last answer!”

“EGH! Wrong!” Lucy cheers. “The answer was fish you tiny-headed dumb dumb. But don’t worry you don’t need smarts to be a clown.”

“But I’m not a clown I’m human!” Kathy said stopping her feet.

“Wrong once again you are a clown!” Lucy cheered energetically pointing at herself. “Trust me I have a big head with a big brain!”

“You have a point, Lucy,” Kathy shrugged, “I guess I’m not that smart after all?”

“Now my friend, it’s fine for the last step before you become a big shot!” She held the box and stuck the woman’s head and limbs into the holes with them sealing behind them. Lucy began to shake the box back and forth in her hand and tossed it around juggling it for a while then caught it. The door opened and a blue ball rolled out of the box, the ball hit the ground bouncing and Lucy caught it throwing the box to her assistants. “Looks like you had a ball, Canny the Cannonball.”

The girl now known as Canny the Cannonball turned around to face us. She wore a bright blue jumpsuit and her hair was a matching blue now in a large afro, and she had blue clown make-up on her pure white skin and a large clown nose.

“Hehe, that was fun let's do that again!” the clown laughed stupidly.

“Sorry Canny it’s time for your big debut,” Lucy said caring her over to the cannon. “You do even know that a cannonball does?”

“Well, we obviously knock over pins silly I know what I do!” the ball said with a proud look on her face.

“That's a bowling ball silly!” Lucy laughed cheerfully no longer mocking the girl but humoring her new stupidity. “A cannonball gets shot out of a cannon!” She held the ball girl up to the cannon, “See silly you go in there and get lanched out, sounds fun doesn’t it?”

“You sure you are not thinking about a baseball, because I’m sure that thing is called a bat?” The clown ball said looking into the cannon her voice echoing back to her.

“Let me do the thinking and you do the flying ok Canny?” Lucy said as she pushed her into the cannon.

“Sure thing boss, a whatever ball like me just needs to do ball things!” she shouted from the back for the tube echoing out.

Lucy stepped behind the cannon and aimed it at the target. “You ready Canny for your first flight!” she shouted to the loaded ball, who shrouded back in response. Lucy walked to the back of the cannon and took aim then pulled the cannon’s string firing Canny the Cannonball across the stage in a blur and letting out a loud “WHEEEEE!!!!” as she flew but her flight was short-lived when it came to an abrupt end with a splat against the target. The target was covered by a blue splatter with a pair of feet twitching in the middle.

Lucy took a second to look at the target then pumped her fist into the air and happily exclaimed while bouncing around, “WOOHOOO BULLSEYE!”

She motioned to assistants to retrieve her flattened ammunition. The two girls pulled the flattened ball of the target like a sticker and brought it over to Lucy. Lucy turned the flattened clown around and looked at her face which was frozen in a smile with her eyes blinking wildly.

“Sorry Canny I guess I used too much gunpowder,” she shrugged, “Well lesson learned, I’m going to have to blow you up later. Is that fine with you?  Blink once if yes.” Canny responded with a single blink. “Alrighty then!” Lucy rolled her up like a poster and Mittens open her shirt letting the clown slide the 2D splatted clown between the massive white orbs disappearing from sight.

“I kinda feel sorry for poor Canny,” Mittens sighed, “All flat like that, well that's a life of a cannonball for you, not every shot is going to be a success.”

“I would call it a success, you can see her face engraved right in the middle of the bullseye. And besides, I got a bike pump back at home, and I know how to blow up someone really good.”

“Save it for the bedroom boss we still have more acts!” Mittens laugh while blushing.

“Well I know what I’m doing tonight, but first let us continue the show!” she laughs with a red blush adding more color to her white face, and her free hand questing lower until she stops with her dirty thoughts and shakes her head.

“So what's next boss?” Mittens ask.

Lucy puts her hands on her hips and a puzzled look appears on her face. “I don’t know?” she smiles with a goofy shrug, “You think I have a script Mittens?”

“They what did you need us for?” the puppet asks in shock.

“I thought it would be fun that’s all!” she says sticking her tongue out and mocking us and the puppet as if turning her into a puppet was just some joke to her. “So why don’t we turn to my trusty tool to find our next act?”

The puppet slaps her face with her tiny hand and says, “How did I know you were going to say that?”

Ignoring her partner’s comment Lucy smiled and pointed into the audience, “You all know what time it is don’t you? It's time for Loony Lucy’s Lucky Light!!!”

Once again the tent was plunged into darkness with a single spotlight moving around the crowd accompanied by drumming. This time I watched it move from person to person, they either had a look of dread hoping that it didn’t step on them or a look of joy seeming like they wanted to join the clown’s circus. But when the light passed over me I sank into my seat as if that would have helped me. I felt somewhat disappointed, I don’t know why? Sure I kinda want to meet Lucy in person but if it meant going on stage and letting them turn me into whatever that clown wants then no thanks. I like clowns but not that much.

The light stopped on a man on the far side of the tent, he looked like your stereotypical jock with blond hair and was well built and probably the star of some college football team. But he was sucked down like the other three disappearing into the darkness and reaping in the arms of Lucy. Something inside me winced at the sight of mister perfect in her arms. He looked at her dumbstruck still trying to process what is happening, once he realized what was going on he squirmed out of her arms landing on the ground with a thud.

“Hello, what’s your name mister?” Lucy asked shoving the microphone into his face.

“Umm... Robert…” she mumbled out still taking in his new situation.

“Well, Umm Robert so you got any idea what are next act is?” she asked scratching her head. “Thinking about being pumped full of air made me lose my train of thought. I’m such an airhead!” the last part emphasized with her honking her nose.

He slowly backs away muttering “My name is just Robert and I-”

Lucy appears behind him moving so fast that she was just a pink and white blur, once behind him she wrapped her arm around her shoulder. “Hey, I thought you told me your name was Umm Robert, not Just Robert? You trying to pull a fast one on little ol Lucy?”

Robert broke away from her grasp and say “My name is Robert, not Umm Robert or Just Robert. And I don’t want to be a part of your freak show, hell I never asked to be here I don’t even like clowns you are all a bunch of scary freaks!”

Lucy pouted and flicked her hair back then put her hands on her hips as she strutted toward him with her butt bouncing back and forth in a hypnotizing way. “Robert. Robby. Rob. Bob. Bobby.” she listed off those names with a prominent sway in her hips as she closed the distance. Robert didn’t even try to run away mesmerized by her body's movement. Once she got in front of her him the difference in the two bodies was evident. Her small dainty body looked he the jock could pick her up and toss her across the stage with ease, but somehow even though she was one being looked down on she looked as if she was in absolute control. She leaned forward causing him to lean back, her breasts fell on him crushing his chest causing him to fall backward onto the ground. She smiled and looked at Mittens then looked back and pointed at him. “I think that this bozo here is lying about his feelings.”

Mittens crossed her arms, “I think your right boss. So what are you going to do.”

“Watch this,” she said putting a hand between the two and the jock on the floor. “So Boddy, I’m going to call you Bobby from now on, It’s like Robert but a billion times better and sillier. So you tell me you don’t like clowns, then you can’t you take your eyes off of me silly?” She tipped her hat and a Mittens pulled at some strange device that looked like some colorful cheap toy that was a cheap knock-off of a sci-fi scanner. She smiled and pointed it at the jock's crotch and pressed a button.

A buzzing sound came from the scanner and after a second it dinged and a squeaky computer voice laughed out. “Creamed! Creamed! He Creamed!”

“What the hell!” Robert shouted defensively as his face turned bright red, “I didn’t do shit!”

Lucy smiled and said in a motherly fashion and patted him on his head, “Don’t worry baby, we all get a little excited and have an accident, it’s best to own up to it instead of denying it. Plenty of people have also creamed them selfs during my shows, take a look!”

She pressed a button on the scanner. Monitors raised out from behind numerous screens. I nearly jumped out of my seat when I heard a loud ding followed by the robotic voice laughing “Creamed!” I looked up at the monitor above my head, it slowed a cartoonish cream pie, I looked around to the other monitors and they all slowed the same image. I brought my hands to my crouch finding a drying wet spot. I turned bright red when I realized what happened I creamed. I don’t know when but I did it. I sulked back into my seat feeling eyes around me piercing me. I don’t know how I didn’t realize it until now, but I wish I never realized what happened until I was alone.

“See Bobby all of those fine folks in the audience are freaks just like you and me!” she cheered pointing at each person who had the revealing massage above their head including me.

“So what, it’s not my fault that you have the body of a bimbo!” Robert shouted as he started to get back to his feet. “Why the hell would you want to be a clown with a body that belongs in the strip club!?”

“Oh, you like my body?” she said pushing him back down, “I think you only partially telling the truth Bobby. So why don’t we both find out what you are really into?”

She stuck her thumb into her mouth and began to blow. Her breasts began to inflate with the sound of stretching rubber. Her breasts were already the size of massive watermelons before but they kept growing getting bigger, rounder, even more bouncy, and more enticing. They grew to the point that they had to be as large as exercise balls as they overtook their owner’s chest even more than they did before. They looked so big that I could stick my head between them and get lost in the round canyon of white flesh. She pushed out her chest causing the buttons of her shirt to blast off, as well as almost causing me to blast off again….

She kneeled down in front of the Jock squeezing her massive breasts causing them to creak like taut rubber of overfilled balloons. “So Bobby? Is this turning you on again?” Booby remained speechless, not that I could blame him. Lucy stuck her finger in her mouth again and smiled, “I guess you’re a booty person then?”

She began to blow causing her behind to inflate as her breasts did. They grew rounder causing her thighs to be squeed together not leaving the slightest gap between them. Her mini skirt looked even smaller and more revealing than it already was looking like just a pink stripe on her stretched multicolored stockings. Her cheeks peaked over her stockings revealing her white with red heart panties that rode her ass looking like a thong stretched by her growing behind. With her popping her finger out of her mouth the growing stopped and her behind matched her breast in size causing her body to look even weirder due to her stick-thin torso and disproportioned head and arms.

I kinda felt bad for Robert as she turned around and began shaking her imposable ass to him. I knew from the look on his face that he was trying his hardest not to give in to the strangely over-sexual clown’s temptations like me. The woman next to me could see my struggles, and from the corner of my eye I could see the expression on her face, and I wish I couldn’t. I have never been attracted to clowns like this before, and after what is going on this is the last place I wanted to discover new things about myself.

Lucy stopped her twerking performance and stretched her head, “Well shoot that usually works?” Each movement caused her over-inflated proportions to lag behind her jiggling with even the slightest movement. “Well, I guess I have to try a new tactic. But I guess you fine folks in the crowd enjoyed it right?” A little too much sadly I thought. She began to squeeze on her inflated breasts and behind as if trying to push them back into her body. Her body groaned and rumbled alongside her voice as she tied to push her body back to her “normal” size. “Ok… attempt... number… two…. You… got… this… Lucy… you… have… never… failed… to… turn… on… the… audience… before!”

With the sound of pop, she let out a loud gasp. The air in her body was pushed all over reshaping her and giving her an egg-like appearance with her arms and being absorbed into her body leaving just her hands and feet, and her head seamlessly being a part of her oval body. A dumbfounded look overtook her face as she wiggled her hands and legs.

“Well, that wasn’t supposed to happen!” she said with a high-pitched nervous voice. She toppled over rolling around on the stage trying to somehow get back upright. “A little help girls!” she cried as she spun around and her bunny assistants ran onto the stage.

I couldn’t tell you why but something inside me broke once I saw her round body. It was inviting to me, while her normal portions were also inviting turning me on in ways I never could have dreamed of. This round silly egg turned me on in other ways I didn’t even know were possible. Oh shit….

“Wait girls stop!” she cried out. BonBon and BunBun stopped her in place causing her to face Robert. “Is that a balloon hiding in your pants or is it something else?”

 She was right he had a bulge in his pants, but that was the least of my worries right now. I had to clear my mind of the big, round, sexy, cute, squeezable, bouncy, and enticing clown. NO! I couldn't stop thinking about her no matter what, I just wanted to squeeze her and bounce on her maybe blow her up a bit more….

Goddamit….

Robert must have had the same thoughts as me by the look on his face, and Lucy knew it too. She snapped her hand and the two bunny clowns put her back up on her feet. “So darling you like it when I’m all blown up big and round don't you?”

“What the hell are you talking about this doesn’t turn me on!” he was obviously flustered tripping over every word, and I don’t blame him this is the last place that I wanted to discover my new fetish as well.

“Come on Bobby there is no need to be ashamed,” with another click of the remote the monitors dinged back to life announcing everyone including me who came. The girl next to me gave me a discussed look at topped her previous glares, and I don’t blame her.

“So big boy, why don’t you tell us how you really feel?” she asked as BonBon brought the microphone to him.

He muttered something that wasn’t picked up by the microphone and looked around at the audience and then back at the egg-shaped clown. After looking at her he finally spoke up. “So what if your inflating turned me on?”

“There were go folks, Bobby finally admitted it,” she announced. She patted her rounded body and looked at Bobby with a devious look. “So Bobby you wanna try?”

He got back to his feet and stumbled backward. “What the hell?”

“Come on,” she groaned, “We all know that you want to become as big around round as me or maybe bigger? Trust me it is the best feeling in the world being big, round, and full of air!”

“How does it feel?” he muttered out in a hushed tone trying to not be heard.

“It's like the super best amazing feeling that you can ever experience!” she cheered jumping up and down wilding and nearly toppling over. “But for a borning human like you it’s comparable to the best bedroom fun time you had ever had but one hundred billion times better!” her last cheer caused her to fall over onto the ground where she rolled until she was facing Robert.

“I have already lost my dignity, so what else is there to lose?” he mumbles.

“That’s the spirit!” Lucy cheered pumping her fist into the air the best she could. She looked at her two assistants, “Alright girls fun times over I gotta get to work!”

BonBon and BunBun look at each other and smile, the next thing I know they leaped high into the air to the top of the tent. The two came falling with their enlarged assets first coming down like a pair of twin meteors on their target. Upon impact with the egg-shaped clown, they bounced off sending them back into the air even higher than before. Once again they bounced off Lucy and somehow went higher than before bursting out of the top of the tent leaving a sexualized hole on their way out before they came crashing down on top of Lucy with unimaginable force causing her body to distort from the force pressing down upon it. The POP! Bits of confetti and colorful smoke filled the stage as the ballooned clown exploded.

When the smoke cleared four figures remained on stage. Robert, BonBon, BunBun, and Lucy who was back to her less than normal proportions. The clowns’ arms were joined and raised bowing as the crowd gave them their applause. I have to admit that I was sadly a part of the crowd this time as I couldn’t help myself. Something inside me just couldn’t help but smile and clap.

“So what were we doing again?” she said to Mittens with a confused shrug.

“We are turning that bozo into a bozo!” Mittens says pointing at Robert. “Geez, your such an airhead boss. No more inflating till the show’s over got it, boss.”

“Fine, but no promises,” Lucy says. She digs into her cleavage till she pulls out what looks to be a blue golf ball. “Hey, Bobby get your nose over here!” she called out to him.

Robert awkwardly walked over to the woman and looked like he was scared to approach her. “What do you want with my nose?”

“Nothing much just this!” she said leaping across the stage and slamming the blue orb onto his nose.

Robert put his hands over the blue orb stuck to his nose and tried to pull it off. “What did you put on my face?”

“Inflating a human doesn’t turn out that well Bobby, trust me it gets messy,,” she smiled as she moved his hands away and honked it. “So I gotta turn you into a clown first!”

“Wait you never said anything about being a clown!” he panicked as he tried to pull the clown nose off only causing it to pull away from his face stretching it like gum. Once he realized how far his nose was from his face he panicked and let go causing the nose to come flying back to his face with a smack sending him tumbling to the ground.

Lucy skipped over to him and tap her finger on her chin. “Looks good, the rounder the better I say. Wanta look?” she pulled out a mirror showing Robert his face.

His head was pushed into his body looking like his neck was removed, as well as being done up in clown makeup. But the strangest part was that his facial features seemed to be pushed into his face becoming a 2D image printed onto the skin. He was too shocked to say anything just pressing his hand against his smooth clown face. New panic came to him as he watched his hands turn chalk white and his middle and ring fingers merge into a single digit. His hands move to his chest as it started to rumble. Lucy lifted out his shirt despite his best protest giving up a view of his six-pack melting away into flab and his pecks becoming a pair of flabby man boobs resting on a growing belly as it became white. His increasing weight spread to his lower body pushing against his pants popping the button off letting his covered erect shaft breathe under his massive belly. A rip was heard through the tent as his pants tore apart directly down the middle unable to hold his new girth. And with another tear, his now long white feet popped out of his shoes wiggling in the open air. Lucy grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet.

“So whatcha think Bobby big enough for you?” She said poking his new fat belly. “Or do ya what to get bigger?”

“What the hell did you do to me, bozo? I’m all fat! What happened to my gains!” He said patting down his new flabby clown body. “I didn’t say you could do this to me!”

“Honey, you said that I could inflate you if ya didn’t think I wouldn’t turn you into a clown that's on you, and last time I check balls are pretty round.” She said putting her hands on her hips and shaking her head mockingly.

“But!” Robert blurted out.

“No buts, unless they are big butts!” Lucy said putting her finger over his mouth. She stepped back and took a look at his body and scratched her head. “She pulled over BonBon and BunBun and whispered something into their ears causing them to run off stage and disappear. “But before I blow you up we gotta do something about your clothes.”

“Don’t touch my clothes you freak you already ruined my pants and shoes do you know how expensive they were!” he shouts as he backs up away from the clown as if he didn’t already know that it was pointless to fight her.

“Too late!” she said grabbing his shoulder and tearing off his entire wardrobe like a magician pulling a table cloth off, and somehow removing everything he was wearing leaving him naked on center stage. He quickly covered his privets with his hands as he began to blush. Out of the darkness, the two girls returned carrying a large trunk with colorful sleeves and pant legs hanging out. “There they are perfect timing girls!” Lucy said as the two dropped the box in front of her. She pushed Robert aside and opened the trunk. “Let's see what we have.” she leaned into it half her body disappearing deeper than what it should have. She tossed out various articles of clown clothing with the bunny girls catching each piece of clothing forming a mountain of colorful cloth in their arms. “Ah! Perfect!” her voice echoed from the box. She pulled out a pair of large blue and white clown shoes, worn dark blue overalls with various patches stitched on, a light blue button-down shirt with large red buttons on both, and a dark blue bowler hat.

“Like hell, I’m wearing that!” Robert said looking like he was going to make a break for it.

“Then why are you wearing it silly?” Lucy shrugged with the only thing in her hands being mittens. “It looks good on you Bobby honest.”

“What the hell?” he said looking down at himself now magically wearing the clothing that Lucy picked out. “Wait can we talk about this I’ve changed my mind, Lucy?” he said tugging at his collar while backing up from the smiling clown. She vanished from his sight and he gasped as he felt something get plugged into the middle of his belly. He looked down and saw a cord extending from his chest and leading to Lucy who was standing behind a bike pump.

“Nope!” she smiled as she rested her breasts on the pump causing it to lower and send a steady stream of air into Robert. He clutched his stomach as it grew a bit. “Trust me you're going to love this Bobby, and you're going to regret ever living without being a round ball.”

Lucy leap off the ground and sent a powerful pump to Robert causing his belly to expand further pressing against the shirt. He tried to protest but the clown pumped once again and a moan escaped his lips as he grew rounder. She kept pumping and pumping causing him to grow bigger and bigger. The look of fear left him and he looked like he started to enjoy it, sadly I started to enjoy watching as well, even though I should be worried. At first, it looked like he was just getting fatter but soon his whole body began to inflate as well, his limbs swelled and his upper body began to join in the growth reaching the size of his belly and joining it making his torso look completely round. With a powerful pump, his torso rounded out into a complete sphere taking his head along with it becoming printed on the top of his round body looking like Lucy when she inflated. With another powerful pump, his arms and legs popped and became nothing more than an image on his body. He was just a ball with a clown design, he looked around his face being the only animate thing about him.

“Hey Lucy, you think I’m big enough?” he asked cheerfully. Any worries about being inflated were gone and he was in pure bliss.

“You consider that big?” she said with a smirk and a glint in her eyes. “You haven’t seen big Bobby!”

She pumped Robert, but this time his body began to change gaining a shiny rubber shine and everything flattening into his orb body leaving him completely smooth. She kept pumping causing his body to grow from the height he started at to evenly the size of a house with his rubber body squeaking with each pump. Lucy stepped back and looked at her work as she wiped sweat from he brow.

“Whoah I’m like super big and round!” Robert exclaimed with a large smile taking over his face. “Your right Lucy this does feel super duper!”

“What can I say I know how to use a pump.” she smiled patting herself on the back for her work.

“But I have a question?” the ball asked.

“Shoot,” Lucy said, “I know all the best things about being blown up like that.”

“How come I’m not floating?” Robert asked.

“Well you wouldn’t be Bouncing Ball Bobby if you were floating would you?” she said skipping over to the clown ball. “Let me show you!” she revved her leg up twisting it around itself before letting loose in a powerful kick. Bobby was sent fling bouncing off of each wall like a pinball. Lucy motioned over to her bunny assistants who ran off stage and returned darting around placing bumpers for the speeding ball to bounce off until he ran into Lucy who stopped him with one foot. “So whatcha think Bobby?”

“That was awesome!” he muttered as his eyes swelled in their sockets. “Do it again… I wanna bounce…”

Lucy tapped his rubber skin and frowned, “Sorry Bobby we’re running out of time so we will have to wait for the big final. Trust me the anticipation makes it worth it.”

“Well if the expert says so…” he sighed.

“That’s a good ball!” Lucy cheered kicking him to the bunnies.

“So boss what’s the plan for the finally?” Mittens ask Lucy who gives her a dumb shrug in response. “Let me guess you have no idea.”

“What can I say, I like to improvise,” she says giving the puppet a reassuring pat on the head, “The best jokes are the ones that come up on the spot!”

Mittens shoo Lucy’s hands away and cross her arms “So let me guess, it’s time for the-”

“Loony Lucy’s Lucky Light!!!” Lucy cheers pressing a button on her remote.

Once again the lights shut off and the drum roll began. This was my last chance to get out of here in one piece and yet the thought of leaving without stepping onto the stage saddened me. Something deep inside was yelling out to step foot onto the stage and be with Lucy. I know that she will turn me into a weird clown girl, so far none of her participants got off easy. But maybe that is what I wanted, I just lost my job and I doubt they will take me seriously at the club as ironic as that sounds. I had lost everything so what did it matter if I ran away with the circus.

NO! That's crazy why would I want to give in to that clown and her craziness? This is probably all still fake, I can’t believe that it being just one big convoluted act slipped my mind. It was just all smoke and mirrors, very elaborate smoke and mirrors but skill just smoke and mirrors. That dumb jock didn’t turn into a giant bouncy ball they just somehow managed to switch him out somehow, but I don’t know how they did it. That lady didn’t lay an egg or get turned into a pancake, same with the chubby girl, and Holly is once again backstage most likely watching me smugly. They are all actors and this is just some weird show nothing more unless it's a dream. It being a dream began to make the most sense to me.

“Stop it Marry don’t think stupid thoughts like that!” I said to myself. I’m human not some clown. I just need to find a new job, probably a new hobby as I doubt that I will be able to think of clowns the way I used to again after tonight. Thinking about it how many clowns that I have seen were like Lucy, all weird and stuff?

I was pulled from my thoughts as the drums stopped. The light was shining on me, my heart sank as I looked into the light. But I failed to realize that I was only partially in the spotlight and the sound of a screaming woman fading away made my heart drop even further for some reason.

In a second a young mousy short-haired woman probably only eighteen still wearing her school uniform sat there on the stage rubbing her bruised behind. She looked up at the shadow of the clown looming over her. Lucy stretched her arm and the girl grabbed it and was pulled to her feet. Lucy gave the girl a warm smile and she smiled a less sure smile back.

“So what's your name kid?” Lucy said as she brought the microphone to her.

“Jacklin!” the girl blurted out.

“Wow, no insults or protests, I think this kid has a screw loose Lucy?” Mittens said looking down at the girl who hasn’t moved from her spot.

“And who here doesn’t?” Lucy asks. She pauses and taps her finger on her chin. “This is the big finally so it’s got to be a special, what to do?” She paces around the girl looking her down and mutters to herself, “No done that last time… no not good for a finally… maybe, but maybe not… no I just blew up two people already… no don’t need another puppet at the moment… what to do, what to do?”

“Turn me into a clown!” Jacklin shouts suddenly. All eyes were on her including Lucy who stopped in her tracks and stared at her with a surprised look. Jacklin’s face became bright red upon realizing what she blurted out. “Please, all I want is to be a clown instead of a stupid human it looks so freeing….” Jacklin looked like she was about to burst into tears, only then did I notice a group of girls wearing the same uniform snickering at her, I didn’t know what she was going through but I know that if anything a clown could make her smile.

Lucy slowly walks over to her and places an arm on her shoulder and looks her in her eyes. “All you had to do is ask kid.” Lucy winks and sticks her tongue out, “Trust me, kid I know the pains of being a human, you're going to love being a clown. Wait what’s behind your ear?” Before Jackin could answer Lucy pulled an orange round orb from behind the girl's ear and held it in front of her. “All you have to do is put it on and the pain will go away.”

Jacklin slowly grabbed the clown nose and put it on her own. It was large and obstructive taking up a good portion of the middle of her face. White began to spread from the spot moving across her face adding orange circles around her eyes and a pair on her cheeks as well as a large orange smile. It moved up to her hair it became fiery orange and yellow and grew out until it reached the ground then tied itself into a pair of chains of orange orbs of hair that danged off her head. The changes moved down to her body removing any of the little fat she had on her body and giving her a petite figure with the fat redistributing into a pair of large white orbs that burst from her blouse. Her hands were next as every finger besides her tumb formed into one giving her hands the appearance of mittens. That change moved lower giving her behind a much-needed boost and fattening her hips until the gap between them was gone. Her feet were next to change as they exploded out of her loafers growing to a suitable size for a clown. Her clothing glowed orange overtaking any color and began to flatten then change shape. Once the orange light faded she was wearing a sailor-style school uniform but stopping just at her breasts only having a drape covering her nipples, and her skirt was short enough to only cover her underwear but left nothing to the imagination. Her loafers were now large bubbly clown shoes and she now had mittens covering her mitten-like hands. She took a look over herself and spun around.

“So watch think kid?” Lucy smiled as she grabbed a mirror from her assistant and showed the new clown girl's reflection to her.

“She is probably the best clown you made so far!” Mittens cheered giving the girl a thumbs up. “No offense you guys.”

“Bon!” BonBon smiled happily agreeing I think?”

“Bun!” BunBun smiled following her twin.

“You look, great kid!” Bobby smiled unable to give her anything other than a reassuring wink. “Would love to see you blown up, but you still look great!”

“Quite you guys give her some space!” Lucy shouted getting the others to quiet down. “So what do you think kid? Clownly enough for you?”

Jacklin just looked in the mirror she touched her face with her new hands surprised at who was looking back at her. Before her clownifaction, she was probably a five or four not that I’m anyone to judge, but now she had to be a solid nine or ten. She squeezed her new breasts causing a honk to come from them giving her a little smile.

“Can you change me again?” she muttered out.

Lucy jumped back flabbergasted at what Jacklin said, “What do you mean are you not happy? You look, wonderful darling, perfect even! Heck, you give me a run for my money.”

She took, at last, a look at herself in the mirror and giggled covering her mouth with her mitten. “I love what you did to me, and that's not just the sudden onset of happiness and silly thoughts filling my mind. Before I “lose it”. Hey Sam and the rest of you dorks!” she said pointing at the girls behind me. “All of you losers are a bunch of stupid poopy head dummies who wouldn’t know how to be nice if it slapped you across your dumb mugs!” She covered her mouth in shock. The crowd gave a similar look of shock and burst into laughter except for those girls. I don’t blame them I would be upset if a clown roasted me like that “Golly I didn’t think I could be that vulgar? My stilly mouth needs a good scrubbing after that!” She shook her head trying to regain focus. “Back to what I was saying, I have a rocking bod and my mind is becoming super-duper silly and fun. But I want to go further and make me super silly! Just looking at the others makes me look lame in comparison.” Jacklin got down on her knees and folded her arms together begging and giving Lucy the puppy eyes. “So can you pretty please change me further.”

“Lucy crossed her arms and frowned. “What do you think I run here girl a charity!?” she shouted. The tent fell silent as the new clown frowned. Lucy looked down at her in silence for a good while. She looked up at her with a smile that beamed throughout the entire tent. “Well, you're in luck kid because a charity is just what I run!” she motioned to her assistants who were posing next to her box. “Just step in the box and let's get started!”

Jacklin jumped on Lucy hugging her as tight as she could causing her body to distort like a balloon being squeezed and the air being forced to the top. “Thank you so much!” Jacklin squealed as she hugged Lucy.

Lucy pulled the clown girl off of her and pushed her towards the box. “Looks like we got a hugger.” She stepped away from Jacklin and turned the box so the door faced upright and opened it up. “So just jump in here and we can get finished,” she said motioning to the opening.  Jacklin looked at the box with a twinkle in her eyes and a smile that took up her entire face. She leap through the air like a high diver and disappeared into the darkness of the box, and the door was closed on her. Lucy dove her hand into her cleavage and pulled out a crank after a while of digging. Lucy inserted the crank into the side of the box.

Lucy turned and faced the audience. “You folks ready for the grand finally!?” she cheered. She raised her hand to her ear as she listened to our cheers. Part of me was sad that I wasn’t chosen for the grand finally, but the rest of me was glad. But hey maybe next time if I find this place again.

“You bet we’re ready!” Mittens cheered.

“I wonder what you are going to do to that chick?” Bobby pondered.

“Bon!” Bun!” the twin bunny girls cheered.

“The crowd has spoken!” she cheered as she outstretched her hands to the heavens. “Ready Jacky this is going to put a new sprint in your step!?” she asked putting her free hand on the crank, and a muffled voice responded to her. “Great!” Now all you boys and girls I’m going to need you to help me with one final countdown!”

“Wait does the audience counting down with you actually do anything?” Mittens pondered while tapping her chin. “You did it with me.”

“Quite you,” Lucy smiled, “it’s part of the fun.” Mittens shrugged then Lucy turned to us. “Ready! Let's begin!” she tightened her grip on the crank and began to spin it. Everyone besides me joined in. With each number my anxiety became worse.

“TEN!”

“NINE!”

“EIGHT!”

“SEVEN!”

“SIX!”

“FIVE”

“FOUR!”

“THREE!”

“TWO!”

“ONE!”

BOING!!!

A sound springy sound came from the box and nothing else happened leaving the tent in silence as Lucy eagerly motions to the motionless box.

“Is it a dud?” Mittens ask tapping the side of the box.

Lucy wiped the sweat from her brow, “If it was that would be a pretty anti-climactic way to end our show…” She stepped around the box with a dumbstruck look on her face. After a while of circling it, she went down to crank and tried pulling it but it was stuck. She gave it all her might but it was completely stuck not moving an inch. Her arms gave out before the crank letting go and causing her to fly back across the stage and into the wall leaving a perfect oversexualized hole. She step back through the hole and adjusted her top hat as she stormed over to the box. Lucy pointed at the box angrily and stomped her foot. “Listen here mister, I got a clown stuck inside you and I ain't leaving until you spit her back out!” I was surprised that the box didn’t get up randomly gaining sentience and talking back to her, but nope it was silent. The silence made Lucy even more furious to the point that her face was bright red and smoke was coming out of her ears. “Listen here buster! I got a show to finish and you’re not helping capiche! So would you kindly get moving!” Once again the box remained silent. Lucy was boiling mad and furiously kicked the box with all of her might. Her foot bounced off as the box remained unfazed. Lucy got up close to the box and began to shout at it. “Oh, so you’re a wise guy I get it!” Do you wanna know what I do to wise guys bust-”

The crank of the box came to life waking Lucy in the face and causing her to fall to the ground. She got back up to her feet and shook her head, and looked at the spinning crank with a smile. The crank spun around as Pop Goes the Weasel played from it. I sunk into the back of my seat waiting for the song to finish and this to be over. Then the last note played.

BOING!!!

Out of the box, a figure erupted flying through the air and landing on the stage with a little springy bounce. Jacklin was completely changed to the point that she barely resembled a human. Out from her skirt emerged a large colorful spring connected to a single clown shoe in place of her legs. The changes weren’t just her legs as her torso between her breasts and hips were just a spring, and her arms were springs that extended down to her hands, and her neck you guessed it a spring. Her changes weren’t down there as her skin looked like the same kind of cheap plastic that you would find on a children's toy. Jacklin tried to steady herself on her single foot but found it difficult as every part of her body was bouncing up and down in rhythm with each other. She looked at her new springy body and her plastic face formed a smile.

“Whatcha think Jacky in the Box?” Lucy asked as she flicked the girls springy head causing it to bounce back and forth like a bobblehead.

Jacky smiled and stretched her arms wrapping them around Lucy multiple times and squealing, “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You're the bestest most kindest clown in the whole wide world, boing!”

Lucy patted the girl's head causing it to stop bobbing and get pushed till it rested on top of her chest springing back up upon Lucy lifting her hand. “No need to thank me I’m just a gal who wants to make people smile.” She looked over to BonBon and BunBun and snapped. “How about you show us your moves?”

“You mean it, boing!” Jacky said realizing her hug her arms pulled back to her body with force causing it to bounce instability tile she steadied herself.

“You bet!” Lucy motioned to BonBon and BunBun who were in the middle of setting up what looked to be an elaborate obstacle course around the stage full of hoops, loops, jumps, obstacles, and more. “Just hop on Booby over there and bounce!”

Jacky’s face lit up as she bounced over to Bouncing Ball Bobby eagerly. “Do you mind me bouncing on you Booby, boing?” she asked

“Bobby smiled and rolled his eyes happily, “Bouncing is my specialty girl so hop on! I’m always ready to give a fellow bouncy folk a hand, or bounce in my case!” Jacky leaped onto Bobby with a single bounce, she landed on his bouncy rubber body and shakily steadied herself as her single foot didn’t give her much balance.

“You two ready?” Lucy asked as she walked behind Bobby. Bobby smiled and looked at Jacky who nodded her head causing it to bounce back and forth uncontrollably till she caught it. “Then let's roll!” Lucy shouted as she kicked the ball sending it rocketing around the makeshift course that her assistants set up.

Jacky and Bobby bounced around the course the two expertly dodging everything in their path going over all of the jumps and hoops, and through the loops. It surprised me that the springy clown was able to control the reckless bouncing ball with as much skill and finesse as she showed on stage. She moved as if she had been practicing this act all of her life despite being turned into a clown only a few minutes ago. She looked so happy and free, I was honestly jealous of her. I wanted to be on that stage performing for people like she was, even if it meant being turned into half spring, a ball, or a hand puppet I wanted to be down there on stage with Lucy.

Her act eventually came to an end and she lept off Bobby and took a bow her entire upper body stretching down to the ground and flinging backward with the slightest movement. Lucy gave her a round of applause alongside the other clowns and the rest of us all cheering her on.

Lucy took her microphone and held it to Mittens. “So what do you think of your first show, as it is as exciting as you thought it would be?”

“You bet boss!” she cheered, “It was even better-having front row seats to the fun.”

“I always say that us clowns have the best seats in the house,” Lucy said patting Mittens on her head. Lucy looked at a non-existent watch on her arm and turned back to Mittens. “Looks like we can squeeze in one more act before we have to wrap up.”

“Another act?” I thought to myself, just when I thought I was going to get out of here lucky.

Mittens shook her head and crossed her arms “Yeah, I don’t think that your box can be quick or reliable enough for a final act.”

“Hey don’t diss my magic box!” she pointed as she put her hand on her hip. She took a look at the audience and pointed around as if she was counting up. “I got another idea anyway. Hey Jacky how’s your juggling?”

Jacky smiled and pointed her thumb at her chest smugly, “I scored top of my class in juggling back in clown school. Throw whatever you want at me and I will juggle them without dropping a single one, boing!”

Lucy’s face lit up as she dug a remote with a single red button out of her cleave. “So how does five hundred balloons sound to you?”

Jacky’s face lit up with shock as she put her hand on her chest, “Golly I never juggled that many things at once before, boing!’ She took a deep breath to calm herself down. “But I will do it, boing!”

“Good to hear Jacky!” Lucy pointed the remote at the audience and pushed the large button. “Alright, folks this is going to random audience participation so cross your fingers and  hold on to your seats, as half of you are going to join us on stage!”

“Random audience participation” “Join us on stage” what was she going to do, either way, I crossed my fingers hoping that I wasn’t one of the five hundred “lucky” audience members chosen. I was almost out of here, almost free from this freak show. The sound of drums and the light of the spotlight that I have grown to anticipate didn’t appear, the telltale sounds of her selection were gone.

“GASP!”

I heard the woman next to me gasp, I turned to look at her to see what happened. Her face was bright red and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. I looked around and saw countless other people shearing in her discomfort and the rest shearing in my confusion. The woman screamed and tried to jump out of her chair and make a break for it, but a cord was lodged deep in her behind breaking through her pants and pulling her back into her seat. She tries to shout something to me I’m assuming it was for help or something like that but all that came out was high-pitched laughs like she downed a can of helium. A cord and high-pitched voice, wait are they being turned into balloons! I wanted to reach over and held her by but my body didn’t move, either out of fear or wanting to watch. My stomach felt sick as I couldn’t do anything but watch her.

Her face looked like she had gained a deeper shade of red not from blushing like before but it was turning red. She looked down at her hands laughing as they began to sink into her sleeves disappearing. I heard something fall to the floor and saw her shoes and socks flop on the floor empty. I watched in some twisted delight as her clothing fell limp and her arms and legs receded into her body. She wigged around her empty shelves and pants flailing. She laughed harder as she began to lower into her seat and her body started to compact on itself. Her laughter wasn’t fear anymore but enjoyment. Soon all that was left on the seat was a laughing head laying in a pile of empty clothing. The red color began to spread across her entire face giving it a shiny rubbery texture. Her lips stopped moving as if they could no longer open despite her best attempts. Then her head started floating like a balloon. I watched her hair flop off her head into the seat like it was just a wig. The rubber began to strain and her eyes darted around her head as parts of her head began to bulge out. With a pop she was nothing but a simple red balloon with white stars dotted across her surface, any trace of humanity was left back in her seat. A white-gloved robotic arm popped out of her seat and unplunged her and tied a knot. The arm tossed the red balloon to the stage along with a sea of floating rubber that slowly drifted downwards.

I looked around and saw that half of the seats that were once filled with people now rested empty other than their discarded clothing, including those girls that Jacky knew. They were now indistinguishable balloons, I’m sure that they can still feel everything but other than that they were just ordinary balloons. I wounded how it felt to be just a simple helpless balloon just floating around drifting on the wind. I breathed a sigh of relief thankful that I wasn’t trapped as just a floating sack of rubber, this was the final act and it looked like I was about to make it out in one human piece.

Lucy pointed at Jacky who gave her a bouncy nod before jumping back onto Bobby and rolling him into the center of the storm of balloons. Jacky caught the balloons and tossed them back into the air effortlessly creating a perfect ring of the five hundred human-turned balloons. She jumped around and rolled around while juggling and even did it upside down all with ease. She was even more impressive than before. But something happened that she wasn’t aware of.

Someone (most likely Lucy) dropped a banana peel on the stage right in her path. Jacky was too occupied clowning around to notice. Bobby ran over the peel and they slipped cartoonishly high into the air alongside all of the balloons around them. But instead of falling to the ground, they all were floating in the air. The balloons pressed up against the clown girl and the ball squeezed them and overwhelmed them in a swarm of colors and rubber. The sound of rubber creaking filled the tent drawing out the sounds of the two struggling to escape their balloon prison. Then with a POP, the balloon became one single giant rainbow-colored ball that was floating in the air. Then it began to fall.

BonBon and BunBun began to franticly run around the stage trying to escape the growing shadow and Mittens was pulling at Lucy who shoved an entire banana down her through with a single gulp. Mittens got her attention on her snack, Lucy looked up at the orbs falling straight down at her. She shrugged and took a bow.

“Thank you folks for coming to Looney Lucy’s Wacky Whimsical Cirus of Fools and Wonders! I hope to see all of you good boys and girls real soon! Now, remember kids nothing is weird or wrong to be a fool like me! So let your inner clown out and smile!”

And with those final words, the rainbow balloon came crashing down like a meteor with her directly in the center of its impact. The balloon exploded into a cloud of colorful smoke, confetti, and glitter. Once the smoke cleared all that was left was a glittering image of Lucy’s face taking up the entire stage.

The tent fell silent, we were hoping that it wasn’t over like before with the after-show, for some reason I too wanted to see another act. After a good few minutes of silence, people started to get up and leave. Some started to cheer for an encore but we all know it was over. Holly was right about this place being weird, I doubt I will ever forget about this show or Lucy. I doubt I will ever think about clowns the same way ever again, the memories of this show will forever be in the back of my head constantly prodding at me.

The people who were demanding an encore gave up and left after a while of nothing, and I should have too but I remained seated. Soon I was the only person left as everyone had left the tent, I don’t know why but I couldn’t move despite how much I wanted to escape. Then the lights shut off leaving only the spotlight shining on Lucy’s glitter portrait. Being left in the dark got me to stand up. I took one last look at the glitter picture smiling at me as if mocking the fact that this show will be the only thought that my mind goes to when I try to escape the painfulness of the world.

I made my way through the aisles nearly tripping over discarded clothing and shoes on my way out. I looked around and yes I was in fact alone. Usually, they have janitors come and clean the place or someone lingering around but not this time it was just me. I made my way to the curtain with an exit sign above it, I parted the colorful sheet and looked into a void of darkness. I reached my hand out to it but quickly pulled it back not ready to venture further. I took another quick look around, and these hallways into nothingness were the only exit. Well if everyone left through these then why I’m I so hesitant? It caught me, the picture of Lucy left on the stage. The bright lights showed down on the white and pink glitter twinkling on stage.

“Damnit…” I sighed. I began walking down the aisle till I reached the edge of the seating. I looked at the image of the clown. It was smiling at me as if it was laughing at the fact I would never get her out of my head. I will always remember the day I watched clowns turn people into weird clown things and the day I came in public.

I took a deep breath and sighed. “This is all fake we have been over this already it's just an insanely high-budget and rehearsed show. Magic is real much less a crazy transforming clown,” There is only one way I could settle this, sneak backstage. Once I’m back there all I need is to see the costumes and props then I will have enough proof I need to go about my sucky life.

I looked around the darkness once more, my eyes had finally adjusted but I couldn’t see any door or exit besides the ones that everyone left through. The seats, I remembered who the seats gave way dropping people on stage. The stage exit is still there so that might be my best option. I looked under the seats but the ground was completely flushed, not a single sign of the hole under Holly’s chair or the air pumps and that stupid monitor that would come from the ground. My last option was to jump the railing. The ground was a good distance down, but it looks safe enough. I walked over to the railing and tried to move my hand pasted it but it stopped once it touched the area above the railing like there was an invisible barrier around it. I pressed my hands against the invisible barrier, it wasn’t glass or anything it was like I was a mime trying to break out of an invisible box.

With no other options, I had to face the facts that I would probably never understand this palace, and my further prodding only raised more questions. I walked back to the exit trying my hardest not to turn around and look at the smiling glitter clown looking back at me. I parted the curtain and took a big step through into the darkness. I nearly fainted when my vision returned to me. I was not in the lot in front of the tent nowhere close and any hope that this was just an elaborate show was gone.

I was standing on a thin checkered path inside of some rainbow limbo that swirled around me like a funhouse tunnel. Props and clown memorabilia floated in the void being the only thing other than me and down doors at the end of the path. Not only that I was back in my normal clothing and the clown shoes were gone and replaced with my old sneakers. I slowly approached the doors, they both seemed to lead nowhere as the path ended just behind them. One door was just a plain white wood door labeled boring and the other was a multi-colored and polka-dotted door labeled fun.

I opened the “boring” door on the other side was my apartment. Home, my crappy little home how I never thought I wanted to go back there this badly. But something inside me told me to shut the door, and I don’t know why but I did. My legs moved on their own and opened the “fun” door. On the other side was a swirling rainbow, unlike the other door it didn’t show the destination. Something caught my attention, the sound of joyous laughter and the smell of a carnival. I closed the door and took a step back and looked at the two. One was back to my crappy life where no one could give two shits about me and everything I had worked for was going down the drain. And the other would most likely mean being stuck in that freak show I just witnessed.

For some unknown reason, I couldn’t make up my mind about what door to go through. Boring crappy life or crazy clowns? Why is this decision so hard for me? So I did the only logical thing I could think of. Close my eyes spin and let my body guild me. I took a few steps to the door and grabbed the handle of one of the doors, which one I don’t know I’m letting my body decide where to go. I turned the nob and stepped through the door….
