Lya woke to find Revan staring at her, eyes consuming every detail.  “Penny for your thoughts.”

Revan chuckled gutterally.  “I am the luckiest man alive.”

Lya smiled happily.  “Tell me more.”

“How many men get a threesome on their wedding night?” teased Revan.

Lya tensed up, then started to giggle.  “She got a hell of a show, didn’t she?”

Revan sighed as he relaxed as well.  “You don’t mind?  She doesn’t mind?”

Lya rolled out of bed to gather the scattered bits of her lingerie.  She found everything but one of the stockings, and worried about what would happen if she turned Jess back without it.  Revan climbed out to help her, and found the missing stocking on top of the canopy of the four-poster bed.  “Here you go.”

Lya wiggled her fingers at the collection of clothing, and soon it was a collection of limbs that swiftly resolved themselves into a woman once more.  Jess wobbled where she stood, then found her balance.

Jess looked from Revan to Lya and back again.  “Uh, clothes?”

“Where we’re going, we don’t need clothes.”  Revan grinned as he mangled the quote.

Jess blushed and looked away.  “Okay, fine.  Can I get a robe before the walk of shame, at least?”

“What walk?” asked Lya with a grin, moving around to be in front of Jess once more.  “What shame?  Are you ashamed of what you experienced?”

Jess’s blush grew brighter as she shook her head.  “I...  Can I do that again sometime?”

“Well, now... that in part depends on you.”

“How so?” asked Jess hopefully.

“Given the look on my husband’s face when you changed, I’m pretty sure he wants to see more transformations.  For me to do the fun stuff, I need your power.”

Jess put her hands in Lya’s eagerly.  As the power flowed, she said, “Consider it a honeymoon gift.  Is there any way to give you my power for that long?”

Lya flicked her hands experimentally, and a familiar shifting flowed its way up Jess’ body.  After a moment, Lya’s twin stood where her friend had been.  They both looked to Revan, who chuckled happily.  “Two of you might be too much for me to handle.”

One of them giggled at that, the other just started to shrink.  Four feet.  Two.  One.  Six inches.  Lya crouched down to stare at her tiny twin in wonder.  “I could never make things this small before.”

Jess carefully stepped onto Lya’s offered hand, and clung to her fingers as Lya brought the tiny copy of herself over to her husband.  “What do you think?”

“She’s a bit too small for my tastes.”

Lya nodded, and ducked her head to kiss the tiny woman in her palms.  Her breath rushed into Jess, who found herself expanding, but not as she’d hoped.  She grew and grew, rounding out but retaining much of her figure.  When Lya was done, Jess was stretched thin, a translucent balloon-woman with exaggerated curves.  Jess tried to speak, but could only squeak helplessly.

Lya giggled.  “Better?”

“Not quite it...”  Revan reached out to brush the balloon’s cheek.  “You spent all day like this.  What’s it like?”

Lya opened her mouth to speak, then held up her finger as she waited.  “It was... well...”  She looked over to Jess, and with a finger-wiggle the balloon woman started to solidify.

Jess tried to come up with a better answer, then shrugged.  “I don’t know.  Full?  Kind of stretchy?  Not as fun as what you did to that lingerie, that’s for sure.”

Lya nodded sharply, then stepped closer to her husband.  She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him fiercely.  Then she started to exhale.  Revan squirmed for a moment, then he swiftly ran out of limbs to squirm with as his body rounded out into a giant green sphere of a balloon.  Lya hugged the balloon tight, then let it bounce to the floor.  “There.  Now you know how it feels.  Happy?”

Jess giggled.  “He can’t answer.”  She slinked up beside Lya, and stroked a finger over Revan’s taut, rubbery skin.  “Mmm.  Latex.”

“Oh, so you don’t like being a balloon, but you like balloons?”

Jess blushed and nodded.  “Why do you think the first thing I did to you was turn you into one?  If it wasn’t your husband, I’d ride this balloon like a stallion.”

Lya’s eyes lit up.  “I had no idea...  Balloons turn you on, you say?”

“The bigger the better,” admitted Jess, eyes fixed on the giant green balloon.

Lya followed Jess’ gaze and chuckled softly.  “You know... our priest was very specific about what infidelity meant.  And since Revan doesn’t even have a penis right now, infidelity is completely impossible.”

“And would Revan agree?” pleaded Jess.

Lya sighed, and wiggled her fingers.  “Only one way to find out.”

The neck of the balloon came untied, sending air gushing out of it.  The giant green balloon raced around the room, growing limper and pinker as it went.  It landed in Lya’s arms, already growing back into a man.  Revan hugged her tight, using her for balance until the dizziness passed.

“Why am I human so soon?” was his first question.  “I was enjoying that.  And Jess’ idea sounded like fun.”

Lya kissed him on the cheek.  “I thought so too.  So I think to make up for missing out on being Maid of Honor at the wedding, Jess needs a pair of big balloons for her birthday next week.”

Jess squealed with delight. “Really?”

Lya nodded.  “We have a month off for the honeymoon, and use of Revan’s parents’ summer cabin for that time.  Keys and map are in that bag by the door.  I just wish I could stay a balloon all month.”

“Wouldn’t that mean you’d get stuck as a balloon?” asked Jess.

Lya sighed happily.  “A balloon with magic.  I could be a woman when I have to be, and a balloon the rest of the time.”

“The cabin isn’t public enough for the always in sight method,” mused Jess.  “Pity.”

“There is another way,” Revan offered, hesitantly.  “Once, when I was being a sprite in Aunt Talia’s garden, I got my leg caught in a rabbit snare.  I was stuck until she found me, because the snare wouldn’t let me grow back.  So a string around the neck of the balloon should do the same.”

Room service was a little confused by the request for two lengths of sturdy string and the loan of a helium tank, but they didn’t make the slightest comment when delivering the request.

Jess made quick work of deflating the big green Revan-balloon, then re-inflating it with helium.  She tied the string off carefully, then held on to one end while the balloon drifted up to the ceiling.  “Ooooh, he’s perfect.  Ready?”

Lya nodded, and started to puff out into a balloon.  But before the change was halfway done, she lost her focus and collapsed back into her own form.  “This is trickier than I thought.  Inflating is so disorienting, I can’t focus.”

Jess held out her hands.  “Let me do it.  Please?”

Lya pulled Jess into a tight hug, and kissed her full on the lips.  Jess’ eyes widened in surprise as she felt magic flow through that kiss, and then she exhaled.  As before, Lya expanded as the enchanted air filled her lungs and worked its way through the rest of her body.  This time, as she felt her insides melt away she smiled giddily, hugging Jess once more with the last of the strength in her dwindling arms.

Jess repeated the deflation and helium-inflation process with her big red Lya-balloon, and tied it off with exaggerated care.  “Best.  Birthday.  Ever.  And it’s not for a week!  I’m going to have such fun with you two.”

The porter carried Lya and Revan’s bags out to Revan’s car, and Jess followed behind in one of Lya’s dresses, and wearing Lya’s form so it would fit.  Behind her bobbed the two great balloons, catching eyes of everyone in the lobby.

The owner of a set of glittering emerald eyes approached her.  “Oooh, string.  That will do the trick.  Except...”

Jess thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers.  “Bother.  She can use her magic to grow the string and free herself.”

Aunt Talia nodded.  “Clever.  You’d make a fine witch if you had more power.  You just need a little tutoring.  Lesson one.  If a spell of preservation is cast by a stronger witch, a weaker witch can’t change the preserved item.  At all.”

Jess’ eyes went wide.  “Oh!  Uh... how does that spell work?”

“Simple as can be.  Just change the string into a string.  With your current power level, it should keep Lya from changing it for about a week.”

“So I’d need to refresh it from time to time, and I’d need her power to do that...”  Jess grinned brilliantly.  “Thank you!”

Aunt Talia tipped her hat to Jess.  “Visit me sometime, if you want more lessons.”

“Thank you.  I will!”

Jess skipped the rest of the way to the car, and sung happily to herself and her inflated companions all the way to the cabin.  Once there, she pulled them along behind her and into the cabin.

From within the cabin, the sounds of squeaking went on for a very, very long time.
