It was another race day for Zoe and Jess. They were in the locker room, looking over course notes and getting dressed for the race.

Zoe looked back at the notes on the day's course and sighed. "Why did it have to be the Sparkling Icicles today? I can't show off the new swim suits if we're dealing with the cold."

Jessica shrugged. "Hey, you could always take up being an ice statue. People like those."

Zoe snapped her head around and glared at Jessica. "And make it that much easier to shatter me? Please. The flat face gets hits in the highlights!" Zoe reached for the normal nylon shirt and shorts uniform in the locker next to the bikini. It would have to wait for another day.

"Besides, I think most people like actual ice sculpting because of the chain saws. I'm not in the mood for that today."

Jess rolled her eyes while suiting up. "Aw, come on Zoe, they'll still watch it and you know it."

Zoe mumbled and muttered the response. "Ugh. Who the heck puts an arena setting on an ice rink in one of these things anyway?"

Jess put an arm around her shoulder. "We should be able to power through whatever they've got ready."

Zoe gave Jess's hand a quick kiss before slipping out of the hug towards the door. "You're right. Just try to keep yourself in one piece? You don't have to prove you're tough to me."

Jess laughed. "Okay, I'll keep it together if you don't show off too much."

Zoe stomped a foot in mock offense. "I do not show off too much!" She composed herself to try and sound dignified. "I just make excellent highlights."

Jess fiddled with her phone, looking for something. "Okay Miss Top Ten Flattenings of the year, but we both know our personal reputations could use the win. We've been around this league how long?"

She held up an article for Zoe from a few months ago. "Have Two Journeywoman Racers Finally Found a Home With The Dust Bunnies?"

Zoe's face actually looked serious for once. "*Sigh* So they want a win?"

Jess smiled and put the phone back in the locker. "Scarlett and Amber probably do too."

Zoe's face went strangely serious, something even Jessica never saw. She opened the locker room door to walk to the starting line, and looked back at Jess.

"Alright then. Let's earn our keep."

* * *

The light said go, and Zoe and Jess ran to their first obstacle.

The doors opened, revealing a long entrance tunnel of some sort. It looked like normal, featureless, industrial concrete walls with grey paint. At first glance, there was nothing weird about it, but nothing here was that simple.

Zoe stopped shortly after entering the passage, and studied the room. "Something isn't right here." She tilted her head, looking at the hall from different angles, hoping for something to appear. "Jess, do you see anything?"

"Nah Zoe, let's go!" Jess didn't stop and ran into the hall, casually looking around, but not concerned with anything that might be waiting for her.

*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*

Clear blocks, probably some sort of thick plexiglass, fell on pistons from the ceiling to deny Jessica passage. There were gaps between them, probably so racers could wait between them without getting crushed. Unfortunately, Zoe was now looking through the first one at a very flat, very wide Jess.

Under the glass, she was a six foot pancake. Her purple hair was reduced to a messy splat above her squished face. Her eyes were dizzy swirls, spinning from the surprise. Bits of brown butt and boob peeked out of her clothes, making her a messier splat than she would have liked this early in the course.

"Tsk tsk, didn't even smile for the camera." When the ceiling reset itself, Zoe grabbed the edge of Jessica and dragged her out from under it. As was usual for them, Zoe was interested in making the highlight reel.

She lifted Jessica's lips up to her own, and blew.

Jess closed her eyes and took the air into her body. Her feet and arms reinflated first with tiny *pop*pop* noises. Then her butt and boobs popped up around her edges. The rest of her body grew slowly in Zoe's hands, gaining depth and trying to grow into a small spherical ball, until

*BOING!*

Jess finally popped back to her normal shape. She gave Zoe a quick hug. "Thanks babe! I guess we need to look up in here. I should have spotted those."

Zoe studied the whole corridor, making sure to take in details down the hall. "Check out the last hundred feet or so. Looks like they made icy patches all over, so don't slip under these again."

Jess nodded. They waited for one more cycle, then ran for it.

The early crushers were simple. It was a test of speed and timing more than spotting specific paths, so it was simple to run past one and two each time they crushers came down. Before long, they arrived at the icy patches.

"Watch the ice!"
"I know Zoe!"

They split up to make sure they had room to navigate the ice. There was no sense in both of them getting squished from the one's slip up.

"Whoa!"
"Hang on!"

They lost their balance, but made it past another falling ceiling. There was one more left, but Jess stumbled around off the ice.  She windmilled her arms, but tumbled head over heels onto more ice.

Directly under the crushers.

"Jess!" Zoe dove and shoved her partner across the ice, barely getting her out from under the crusher and next to the door. She tried to slide and roll away herself, but

*WHAM*

Zoe realized she wasn't going to make it, so she stopped on her back and got ready for a great massage. She put her hands and legs up against the glass as if she stood a chance at holding it up, and was satisfied when they started crumpling to the floor. Not only did she force herself down to spread out against the floor, her legs were shunted into her butt as she squished, making its splat even bigger. She felt the crushing pressure hit her boobs, and smiled as she felt herself get smeared.

She was pretty sure she was going to be a ten foot poster with three foot curves out of this.

Jess dusted herself off, got up, and looked back at the curvy Zoe poster under the glass. "Wow, you shoved me out over getting squished together? I must have spooked you more than I thought with that headline."

Once the ceiling went up again, Jess yanked Zoe out from under it. "Scarlett's rubbing off on you hon."

Flat Zoe's response came out a little dazed. "Whaaat do you meeean?"

Jess smiled. "I mean a few years ago you would have made it look like you tried to get me out, then let us both get squished for the highlight reel."

"Oh I'm not that bad-mmmmmm" Zoe's protest halted when Jess started blowing her back up. Her shins sprang out, then her thighs, then her hips. Bit by bit she ballooned back into shape moving up her body.

"Thanks Jess!" Zoe gave Jess a quick hug, then they moved on to the next challenge.

* * *

The ladies proceeded through a short passage into another large room. In front of them on the platform, they saw a strange contraption that resembled a bicycle. Instead of wheels, it had a large air tank underneath, and a propeller in the back. Large straps were looped over the top of it for some purpose.

They also heard a loud mechanical churning noise. They could see their exit on the far side of the room, across a chasm on another raised platform maybe a football field away. There were some large pointed antennas in between of unknown purpose as well.

Zoe walked to the edge, and looked down and around. "Well, I think I figured out the noise. Don't look down unless you want to get chewed up by the grinders."

The floor of the gap below was made several spiked wheels spinning against one another. Any drop to the floor would likely result in getting ground to a pulp and spat out near the entrance.

Her train of thought was interrupted by Jessica's voice. "Then just don't fall! This will be easy."

Zoe looked at Jess, and saw her holding a hose from the air tank. "What do you mean?"

"You sit here and pedal," Jess kneeled down and spun the pedals with the hose in her mouth. Her cheeks and head puffed up just a little, before she continued in a very high pitch voice, "That blows me up to float us over." She pointed to the propeller, spinning from peddling.

Zoe smiled, and clasped her hands in mock gratitude. "You would volunteer to be my balloon girl. Aaaawwww!"

Jess stuck her tongue out, and got into position above the machine. Zoe got comfortable in the seat and looked at the airspace between the platforms while Jess put the straps on.

Once Jess felt secured in them, she complained to Zoe. "Hurry up! We can't waste all the time on analysis!"

Zoe shrugged, then tensed her muscles to start peddling. "I guess you're right. Fans probably want to see me fall anyway."

Jess scowled. "Hey now! Don't rush it just because MMMMMF"

*HIIIIIISSSSSS*

Zoe started peddling. The pedals squeaked, and air flowed into Jessica. Her cheeks and head puffed up from the initial surprise, but she quickly directed the air into her stomach. Her figure grew, doubling in size in a few seconds from Zoe's aggressive start.

Once enough helium was in Jessica to get them off the ground, the propeller in the back went to work. The machine pushed the ladies forward, and it was up to Zoe to steer them across.

"Mmmmmmmm....smmow bown! Mot oo much..Oooooh"

Jess tried to tell Zoe to pump air into her slower, but the incoming helium felt too good for her to concentrate. Her butt and boobs were growing in size too, both trying to peek out from beneath her uniform. Her arms were inflated enough to be stuck at her sides , and her body was starting to grow spherical enough to absorb them. She was past ten feet across, and it was for the best. The straps fit that much better at this size.

With all her limbs shrinking into her ballooning body, Jess closed her eyes and let herself enjoy the growing sensation. She was now a huge, shiny, brown and orange balloon. Her features were practically painted on her, and she had plenty of capacity to give between here and the other side.

Jess muttered through the hose in her mouth. "Ooooooommmm! O Oe O!"

"Oooooh I get it now! The spikes are meant for our balloon."

"MMM?!?!?!"

Zoe's voice shook Jess out of her relaxing inflation. The bike lurched in the air, making Jess wiggle with surprise.

"What, you didn't see them earlier Jess?" Zoe turned the bike to glide very wide of one of the spike towers. "Why did you think I was studying the path."

Jess eyed the pointy spikes with bulging eyes as they floated past, and tried to relax again. Zoe knew what she was doing, they'd get to the other side in no time.

*SHWP*

Jessica's eyes opened in time to see the axe swinging from the ceiling. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMFF!!!"

Zoe's reaction was more subdued. "Uh...oh..."

The axe collided with Jessica's face. Her body put up some resistance, forcing air to the sides and making her cheeks and eyes bulge out to ridiculous sizes, but she could not avoid getting sliced.

*BOOOOOM*

Jess's body popped, exploding into scraps of orange and brown and purple Dust Bunny fluttering around the room. The scraps that fell were pulled into the spinning teeth below, and Zoe could see splats of Jessica's colors get spun back the way they came.

Robbed of its lift, Zoe's contraption fell out from beneath her. It was rent asunder by the machinery below, leaving Zoe floating in the air.

Well aware she had nothing holding her up.

"Meep?"

Zoe's legs plummeted, stretching out her waist. Her torso followed a second later, leaving her head in place on an extending neck, before she snapped back together and fell into the gears below.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAH"
*SPLOOOOOOSH*

Zoe's body briefly flared out wide on impact, her body piling up in layers into a gooey pancake from the force of her fall. The spinning teeth didn't let her stay in place though, and quickly mixed her into a tan and orange splatter. Zoe goop was thrown around, no part of her left solid as she was chewed up by gears, spat out across different paths, only to get chewed up again. Most of her gooped back together as it approached side they entered on, but the machinery was being pretty thorough.

The only good thing was Zoe feeling stress leaving parts of her she didn't know she had, while the machines applied pressure to every inch of her.

Eventually she was spat out by the entrance. A tan and orange ooze pooled on the ground next to the brown and orange puddle of Jess that was already there.

The Jess puddle wobbled. "So, study the ceiling next time?"

Zoe bubbled back. "Yeah. At least that's one axe we know about now.

* * *

It took longer than either of them wanted, but Zoe kept Jessica intact on the second trip over the grinders. Zoe briefly threatened Jessica with her sharp nails on the other side, smiling deviously at the camera, before climbing the straps onto her back to stomp the air out of her, being careful to keep the large deflated on the platform.

The obstacle cleared, Zoe grabbed the her floppy partner by the foot, and shook her out on the way to the next room. About half way there, they felt a chill in the air. They didn't stop jogging, but Zoe looked tense.

"Oh no...it's cold. Here we go."

The area beyond tunnel opening was a large sheet of ice. Large blocks of ice engraved with question marks were scattered around the rink. Across the ice was a large door, itself encased in ice, made to look like the entrance to some sort of ice castle.

Zoe stayed in the tunnel, not willing to start ice shenanigans just yet. "I guess we need to get in there. But how are we supposed to-"

"COOL! They gave us giant hammers!"

Zoe turned to see what had Jessica excited. She was already lifting one of the spiked mallets. There was a second one next to it.

She considered the remaining mallet against the wall. "Large blunt objects? A little too direct for my tastes, but I guess it's okay. What's the catch?" She picked up the hammer, not paying attention to Jessica moving behind her.

"Only one way to find out!" Jess shoved Zoe out onto the ice. She waved her arms in circles trying to stay balanced, sliding along the ice.

"Hey! Be careful Jess, we don't know who's out here!"

"Come on Zoe! It'll be-"

"KSSSSSSSSSSSSSH"

Someone skated to a hard stop next to Zoe, spraying her with snow and ice shavings. Naturally it was enough to put Zoe on ice. When the spray stopped, she was frozen with her arms raised defensively, solid ice blue, standing still on the ice.

Jess turned to the tall woman in ice skates. She had pale white skin, and long blond hair tied into a short wavy ponytail by a ribbon in a bow. She wore a loose blue sweater dotted with sequins, a short matching skirt, and black leggings down to her black figure skates. A cream sash belt held the outfit tight against her waist. She was resting on a large hammer of her own, without spikes, but marked with a large icicle on mallet's face.

She grinned, satisfied with her new ice sculpture, before waving at her remaining opponent. "Hi Jessica!"

Jess nodded curtly. "Kara. Still figure skating?"

Kara shrugged. "Everyone has a hobby." She lifted her hammer, wound up, and slammed it into frozen Zoe.

*KSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH*

She connected with Zoe's hips, breaking them loose from the rest of her body and sending them flying at Jessica. The rest of her body cracked and fell, shattering and sliding towards Jess harmlessly along the ice.

Jess caught Zoe's frozen butt, and put in on the ice next to the rest of her scattering ice chunks. She tried to keep as much of Zoe in one place as she could to help her recover, but Jess did not take her eyes off Kara. "So now what, we put you on ice while we figure out what's in these blocks? I think we can manage one skater."

"You wish! I've got you and Zoe for 20 minutes of fun. Don't go to pieces on me right away Jess, we both know you're tougher than that."

Jess cracked her neck and hefted her hammer, ready for the challenge. "Oh, I wouldn't give you the pleasure."

Jess slid on the ice towards her opponent, and Kara skated to the side. Jess pushed off one of the ice blocks to slide at Kara faster, jumping and slamming the ice. Kara dodged, and Jess pursued.

She didn't notice Kara was skating in one large circle.

"You can't just skate around me forever. We both know Zoe doesn't take *that* long to pull herself together."

Kara skated to a stop near the same place she shattered Zoe. "Oh I know. But you should have brought a bathing suit."

"A what? Here? I know these uniforms aren't that warm, but even you're wearing more than that."

Kara lifted her hammer and gave the ice in front of her a solid tap. A large circle of ice around Jess, matching the path Kara skated, flipped over 360 degrees.

Jess couldn't believe it. "OH COME ON!!!"
*SPLASH*

When Jess flipped out of the water, she was encased in a large block of solid ice.

Kara skated over. "It's okay Jess, I can help you warm up. Good luck next round!"

Jess looked through the ice nervously.

Kara reached into a compartment of her hammer, and pulled out a chemical torch. She activated it, and casually tossed it on top of Jessica's ice cube. Satisfied it was melting the ice, she slid Jess towards Zoe's shards and the room's entrance.

The flare made short work of the ice, heating things too fast for Jess to escape. Ice melted and water flowed down from atop the cube, and before long it was joined by purple drops from her hair. Her face distorted, and her features sloshed around as the torch cut through, turning her into a puddle of goo in the ice. She pooled up within the ice walls while the torch worked, breasts and waist and butt all getting liquefied by the flame, and arms draining from their position to mix into a smooth brown goo with the rest of her. Fortunately, the torch sputtered out before cutting through the floor. Jess's cube still collapsed from lack of structural integrity, and spilled her across the ice.

Bubbles roiled the brown goop. Jess's voice said "That could have gone better."

* * *

Jess pulled herself together, her head slowly rising out of the puddle of herself. She formed her shoulders and arms, and pushed up off the floor while looking for Zoe.

Zoe's fragments were mostly thawed out and trying to piece themselves together too. She had a pair of hands formed to put the rest of her jiggly pieces together.

"Heh, I always was better at this part of the game." Jess concentrated, gave one last push down, and *SHLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP* pulled her chest out of the muck down to her waist. She smiled, tested her chest's solidity, and finished regenerating her legs.

"No, over there! Come on me!"

Jess looked back at Zoe. Her head was intact now, trying to give her hands directions. They were trying to attach a leg to her shoulder.

"Uuuuh, sorry Zoe. I guess that one's on me."

"I'll deal with that tonight." Zoe winked. "Now help reassemble me!"

Jessica grinned. "Watch out, I might make more rash decisions."

Zoe reached for her foot and threw it at Jess. Jess caught it, and walked over to actually reattach it. Zoe's head hopped over to speak quietly while Jess worked. "Actually, I do have one idea..."

* * *

Their plan was fairly simple. They would go to opposite sides of the rink, and immediately try to smash a block. Kara would be out there somewhere, but as long as they stayed split up, they should be able to recover in time to keep her on her toes.

Jessica was covering the right side. She got one good swing in, crunching into a cube. Cracks spidered through it, and it slid a few feet across the ice.

Kara skated out from behind it, scowling that her hiding place was ruined. "Back for more already Jess?"

Jess gripped her mallet with both hands, ready for a fight. "You know it."

Kara sighed and shrugged, as if lecturing a child. "You always did love powering through problems. You know it doesn't matter how fast you can restore yourself if I smoosh both of you a few more times and run out the clock, right?"

Jess smiled. She did have a reputation for diving into problems, but it was more fun that way. "I think that's going to be tougher than you think."

She raised her hammer and got ready to charge. Kara skated away, hoping to draw pursuit.

So Jess turned and skated after the ice block.

"Oh my!" Kara laughed while circling back. "Ignoring me?"

Jess wound up her hammer to smash the ice block in front of her. "Maybe. This looks like more fun."

"I guess you never learn. Too easy!" Kara sped towards Jess and got ready to spray her with ice, just like Zoe.

Jess turned back towards Kara and smashed the ice between them instead of the block. The ice cracked and bobbed around the water. The end of the chunk Kara was on tipped up, sending her flying into the air and over the ice block.

"WHOOOOA!"
*WHAM*

Kara landed head first on the ice. Her blond hair flared out as her head flattened, and her arms slammed to two dimensions on the ice. Her body resisted becoming a pancake, but the force pulled the rest of her body into her sweater. The blue sweater closed after her legs were sucked in, and bounced as a jiggly pastry bag of Kara with a ponytail on the ice.

The blue Kara sack slammed into another block, spilling its contents. Starting with her ponytail, the Kara's blond, peach, and black goop spilled out through her hair ribbon. Her face sat at end of the puddle, eyes still spinning.

"Yes!" Jess pumped her fist. "Okay, where's that ice block, I still need to break it..."

It eventually hit Jess that she should have turned to see the ice block. Seeing Kara on the floor meant the ice was in the air from the same hammer strike.

Its shadow fell over Jess.

"Oh..."
*SMAAAAAAASH*

The block fell on Jessica's head, scrunching her to the ice. Her body spread out on the ice under its crushing weight, trying to find a place for all of her to go while it smashed her into a pancake, but the weight was pulverizing. She exploded out from under the block as waves of brown goop, flowing out from under it after she was smashed.

The block itself shattered on impact, dropping a long metal tube Jess couldn't identify into her puddle.

She shattered the block, and flattened Kara, but now Jess needed to draw on those legendary recovery skills. Just as soon as her eyes stopped spinning and she figured out where all of her was.

* * *

*CRSSSSH*

Zoe finished smashing the block before her. She wasn't sure exactly what she was looking for, but inside the ice was some sort of strange scifi rifle like she would see as a movie prop inside.

"On my, what have we here?" Zoe slid over to pick it up, and saw Kara spilled out of her sweater on the ice, slowly collecting herself. Behind her was a pile of broken ice on top of a sea of brown goop. "Hmmm, Jessica must have overdone it, but at least she bought some time."

Zoe smirked at their squished opponent, and looked to the door. "Uuuuugh Jess is right, I should focus on the race. You get to stay solid today Kara." Zoe stuck her tongue out at the fallen skater, and aimed her new contraption at the door.

*BZZZZZZZ*

A red beam came out at the door. Judging by the steam coming off the door, it was some sort of heat laser. "Nice! With this we'll melt through in no time!"

"UUUGH...Not if I can help it!"

Zoe held the laser steady and looked at Kara. She had her top half formed out of her spill, but was still a puddle from the waist down. Zoe focused on the goal, but did see Kara eventually shlurp herself back into shape and grab her hammer.

"Sorry Zoe, you can't ignore me forever, no matter how much you like getting flat." Kara hefted the hammer and skated towards Zoe.

Zoe grinned, seeing the ice castle's drawbridge start to fall open. She saw one other thing that had her smiling. She just needed to keep Kara's attention.

"But being flat is all that! I think I put that on a shirt..." She paused to look thoughtful.

Kara jumped. The laser hit her arms as she jumped right through it, not caring about the effects. Her body wobbled, but it wasn't hitting her long enough to melt her at all. Zoe stubbornly refused to take her focus away from the door, and did nothing to stop Kara's mighty hammer swing.

*SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIISH*

Zoe stuck her chest out as the hammer connected. Her body folded back and forth under the attack, spreading into a seven foot pancake on the ice. She was looking up, smiling and waving, with her cleavage was on full display.

Kara lorded over Zoe, convinced of her victory. "You know, between you trying to get squished, and Jess not thinking things through, it's a wonder your team accomplishes anything. I almost feel bad for Scarlett and Amb-...what?"

Jess was holding the rocket launcher from her ice cube against Kara's cute butt. "Don't feel too bad Kara. I always forget I pull together this fast too."

"Meep!" was all Kara managed to say.

*BOOOOOOM*

Jess was thrown backwards by the explosion. She flew across the room into the wall next to the exit, briefly splattering into a ten foot tall painting of herself looking pretty dizzy, before dripping down, flowing into a puddle of brown goop on the floor.

Zoe's pancake was low enough to the ground to avoid most of the explosion, but the wind it produced flipped her over, giving everyone a look at her big flat butt.

Kara herself was still standing where she was, but the ice beneath her was gone. She was charred to a crisp. She looked around, disappointed in herself for letting this happen to herself.

"Ooof..." Black smoke drifted around her as she spoke. "See...you...at...the...after...party..." Kara coughed up more smoke and fell to ashes all at once. Her entire body looked like someone dropped loose Kara shaped sand into the frozen waters below. As her remains floated around, Kara absorbed some water and tried to restore herself quickly, but the chillers keeping the ice frozen were faster.

For a moment, the room was silent, except for the Jessica dripping down.

Eventually Zoe's butt started flexing into the air. It bulged, and *POP* Zoe stood on her head on the ice, held up by her hands.

She saw Jess splattered on the wall first. "Wow...what happened?!"

Then she looked at the ice beneath her. It was tricky to see, but Kara's blue and cream outfit was tinting the ice just enough to see she. She was going to be stuck for a while, certainly long enough for her and Jess to move on.

"Whoa, did Kara end up as part of the..." Zoe found Kara's eyes in different parts of the splotch of multicolor ice. "So the ice skater is now part of the floor show. Not bad! Sorry to give you the cold shoulder, but I need to go...uh...collect Jess."

Zoe slid across the ice to help Jess collect herself.

* * *

Once Jess finished dripping down and Zoe helped mold her back into shape, the ladies passed through the ice castle gate. After a short transitional hall, it opened into long square shaped passage, about eight feet a side. Faint red lasers came out of the wall every few feet. They were clearly visible, but as far as Jess and Zoe could tell, they were not damaging the walls. They were not completely unavoidable, but they were arranged to be hard to sneak past.

On the other end of the hallway, just a few hundred feet away, was the welcome sight of the finish line.

"Wow, look Zoe!" Jess took exaggerated glances back and forth between her naked wrist and the finish line. "We might actually get a good time without squishing you too much. Let's go!"

Jess started jogging towards the finish line, twisting around the first few lasers. Whatever they were, she wasn't interested in touching one, and the first few were easy to avoid.

Zoe rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out before following. "Please, everyone makes such a big deal out of it. Do you know how much ad revenue we get every time I get painted on the floor?"

Jess ducked under another beam. "Oh I know, but getting some prize money in the process wouldn't hurt."

Zoe was still jogging to catch up. She hopped over another laser to overtake Jess. She turned around and jogged backwards to respond. "I guess so, but sometimes it's too much fun to-"

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!*

"What?" the girls looked around, searching for the source of the noise. Eventually, they saw the red dot of a laser on Zoe's thigh.  The color drained from her face "Oops?..."

*SLAM*

The walls slammed together in front of Jessica. Zoe jumped and raised a celebratory fist for the cameras as she felt the walls press against her, crushing and spreading her body between them. The walls retracted as quickly as they appeared, revealing a half inch thick Zoe hanging in mid air, still mid jump with her fist raised above her. Gravity returned after a the cameras got a good look ad her floppy body, and she fell like a piece of cloth on the floor, and folding up on herself.

Jessica ran over and picked her up by her braid. "Damnit Zoe, watch where you're going." One good shake and *POP* Zoe was back to normal. "You okay?"

Zoe was still trying to find her balance, clearly shaken up by her most recent flattening. "Yeeeeah just gmmee a sec."

She stumbled forward, towards another set of trap lasers.

"Zoe look out!!!"

This time the ceiling came down, crushing Zoe before she could react. She felt her body getting smaller, everything getting wider as her mass was shunted about. Once she was down to a quarter of her height, her butt and boobs took up most of the available space under the crushing plate. Only her eyes bulging out on the top, and arms waving out the side, were otherwise visible. She was out of space.

*SLAM*
*SPLOOOOOOOOOOSH*

When the ceiling went back up, Zoe was an eight foot tan smear on the ground, her body bursting and splattering like a balloon full of her colors.

Jessica cautiously approached, looking for more of the lasers. She kneeled down in the Zoe goop and started pulling it into a pile in front of her.

"Come on Zoe, don't get goopey on us now."

Zoe's head groggily pulled itself out of the growing pile of herself. She said, "That...was...heavy..." before her neck collapsed, splashing her head back into the puddle.

Jess pounded her fists on the floor, splashing a bit of Zoe around. "Ugh, we need to keep moving so all these walls don't...smash us more?"

Jessica paused to look around. None of the traps Zoe triggered had reset. They probably only worked once.

She tested Zoe's solidity again. She was still pretty loose, but not completely liquid. It would work. She grabbed the rest of Zoe with both arms, and started molding her into a large beach ball shape.

Zoe finally came too to discover she was very round. "Hey, Jess? What's going on?"

"Sorry Zoe, I think I owe you one tonight. You're going to trigger all the traps for us."

Zoe's eyes went wide. "Wait, I'm bait?!"

"Just try to stay solid. Good luck!"

Jessica threw the ball as hard as she could. Zoe tripped most of the lasers, but Jessica's throw wasn't enough to get her past the next set of crushers.

*SLAM*

Zoe was squished as a small pancake on the floor, looking up. Jess ran up and picked up the disk Zoe. "Nice! Keep yourself together and we'll be through in no time."

"You owe me a little more than dinner Je-"

*SLAM!"

With each successive smashing, Zoe got a little flatter, a little wider, and her boobs a little bigger. The look on her face suggested she wasn't entirely unhappy with the pounding she was taking. Even as one spun and worked her into the floor, smearing her features around, she was getting giddy at how many hits the highlight video would get."

By the time she crossed the finish line, Jess was holding a very flat, five foot across orange and tan frisbee with a black braided center. Zoe's features and colors were a swirl originating from the center, where her face and wiggly dizzy smile were. Highlight reel or no, she was glad it was over.

"Jeeeeess..."

"Yeah Zoe?"

"I need a snack..."

* * *

Scarlett and Amber knocked on their training facility's sauna door. "Hey Zoe, you alright in there?"

"Yeah! Come on in!"

They walked into a fairly hot sauna. Zoe herself was leaning back on a bench, a tan puddle visible around her and on the floor below. She looked pretty drippy, but Zoe knew how to hold herself together.

"Hello ladies! Care to join me?" She dug a spoon full of purple ice cream out of a large bowl beside her.

Scarlett clapped her hands together. "We just wanted to congratulate you on the win today. From the highlights, it sounds like you dealt with the icicles better than all the other teams."

Zoe gave a belly laugh, doubling over and having to slide her hair back into place before it melted into the puddle below. "Oh, Kara is way too obsessed with figure skating. Honestly, she's pretty good if you watch one of her shows..." Zoe paused and looked thoughtful while eating another spoonful of ice cream. "But that little ice rink arena wasn't that bad."

Amber nodded. "I guess. You and Jess got lucky finding what you did. The other teams found less fun toys. The chainsaw was neat, but finding that laser and the rocket launcher did the trick."

Zoe laughed, and ate some more purple and orange ice cream. Her body was slowly melting further down as they talked, more tan drops of skin falling to the floor while her torso blobbed up on the bench. "Well, we did it. And when I checked my phone before walking in here, everyone is looking at pictures of me flattened under the glass!"

Scarlett blushed, clearly familiar with the highlight. "Oh yeah...that was a good one. Jess's rocket shot is a popular highlight too!"

Amber looked around the otherwise empty sauna, finally realizing Zoe was alone in it. "Hey, where is Jessica anyway?"

Zoe stirred her spoon in the bowl and smiled. "Oh, after making me her personal trap disarmer?" She put a spoon full of melting brown ice cream into her mouth very deliberately, licked her lips, and grinned.

Amber face palmed. "How?"

"What, you don't know how to make ice cream?" She looked at Scarlett. "I could show you later if you want."

Scarlett blushed, bit her finger, and looked at Amber. "Yes?"

Amber laughed. "Maybe another night. I like my ice cream to not melt as fast as Scarlett does."

"Heeeeey!" Scarlett gave Amber a playful punch, her hand mushing up from her starting to melt. The heat and thinking about the highlights was getting to her.

Zoe laughed harder. This time, her braid, a hand, and other bits of her did splat on the floor and join the growing puddle. "Okay, another time then."

She looked at what was left of her melty body. "I guess it's time for Jess and us to have some us time. I definitely needed the heat after getting squished so much, works all the knots out fast. Could you turn down the heat for us in about ten minutes?"

Both ladies raised an eyebrow at Zoe.

She took her bowl of Jessica ice cream with both hands, raised it over her mouth, and gave up on staying solid. She opened her mouth wide, which only got wider as she liquefied, and poured Jess's melting ice cream in. Her melting tummy showed signs of getting full, growing and spreading across the bench as her breasts melted above it, and her butt melted through.

As Zoe's body slipped through the bench boards and pooled on the floor, they saw her eyes. Each floated in different parts of her, rolling back in bliss. The tan Zoe puddle was showing bits of Jessica's colors too; they were definitely mixing together. Neither was going to be solid any time soon.

Amber slid the door shut. "Heh, I guess we should leave them alone for now, right Scarlett?" She looked around, realizing her girlfriend was no longer standing next to her? Scarlett?"

The red haired puddle next to her bubbled a little. "That was beautiful...blb blb...I still want ice cream."
