Scarlett is an original character of FlexiblePeople (That's me!)
Ally stared at the monitors, watching her Mochi machine do its messy work with Phoebe. "Ooooo, looks tasty! I need to get her some real mochi later to make up for her accidentally testing it."

She watched Phoebe get splattered a few more times by the hammers, idly wondering what her Boo would think of Ally mochi, before shaking her head to get back to the moment at hand.

"Okay, so Phoebe's got another few minutes before she's done. Scarlett..."

Ally queued up the Cotton Candy machine footage on her monitors to check on the loud sound from earlier. She saw Scarlett slam to the ground with a loud *SPLAT!* Her body scrunched on itself, her naturally stretchy body expanding to fill the entire six by six foot space as it squished. She was stuck with her butt facing up pancake at the bottom of the shaft, moving towards the cotton candy crafters.

Ally got up from the stations and looked around. There were a few more unused candy chutes.

"Well, I can't let them have all the fun in this story. Let me just set up the auto-restore sequence on the timer...and in we go!"

Ally hopped into the chute labeled Taffy. She fell an incredibly long distance like the others, before slamming onto the taffy machine's bars.

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
*BYOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNG*

Ally squeed as her body sagged and fought splatting into a messy puddle of colors covering the bars. Knowing this was coming, she was able to hold on to her solid body. She enjoyed getting kneaded together from a solid start.

The motor fired up, and Ally was folded into herself.

Her head got turned over and twisted into her chest with a loud *SQUIIIIIIIIISH*

Her legs made a rubbery *CRRRRRRRREEEAK* noise as the machine spun them up, stretching them away from her hips.

"Aaaaaah yeah that's why I make these!"

Both ends of Ally spun around again. Her shoulders, already stretched around her head, *SPLAT* slammed into her stomach, spreading and mixing her. Her spooled up legs collided with her butt with another messy *SPLAT*, adding mass to the tangle that was her lower body. Both ends of Ally were becoming messy arrays of her red and white and light flesh colors, with a thin band of her waist the only thing connecting them.

Ally was loving the familiar sensation of getting stirred up, losing her solid form, and having no idea where any specific part of her was in the taffy process. Her rapidly gooifying body quivered in anticipation of what was coming next.

Then the wheels spun around, slamming both ends into each other.

*SPLOOOOOOOOOOSH*

Ally's face was spread thin inside her chest as it collided with her hips. Bits of Ally splattered everywhere as her body mixed together enough to be less discernible as white and red and more of a uniform pink color. She wasn't sure which end her head was on when she was stretched out again, but she could feel something...her neck?...stretching between the two bundles of messy Ally the taffy machine was kneading.

"Aaaaaaaaaaah I forgot how relaxing this is...*BLUB*"

After several minutes of being lost to her folding, the pink taffy on the bars thought about her friends.

"Oh man I forgot how good these machines were. I can only imagine what someone as...obsessed...yeah that's a good word...with getting transformed as Scarlett is thinking in the cotton candy machine right now." Ally thought a little about Scarlett's reaction would be, while feeling the relaxing sensation of what she at least guessed were her stretchy thighs getting folded into her back yet again.

* * *

"OOOOF!"

The huge square of Scarlett sat dazed for a few seconds, processing what just happened.

"Oh no! I'm in another one of Ally's machines! I'm already embarrassing myself too much today. I shouldn't be enjoying getting squished in front of someone I look up to like this!"

Scarlett's big square face twisted with concern under her flat sheet body.

"I need to pop back! Grrrrrrrrr-Heeeee-OOOOF!"
*SQUISH*

Scarlett tried to fight into three dimensions, but felt something pick up the side of her body and start rolling. Once she was rolled into a tube with her face on the outside, it squeezed her her tight, fusing her body into a solid tube of red and ice blue.

Scarlett's eyes looked around frantically from the tube. A claw lifted her cylinder by the hair, carrying her deeper into the machine "Ack! Now I'm a tube? What's going on here?"

To answer her, a loud mechanical hum echoed all around her. Her body swayed a little in the wind as the claw lowered her into a large chamber.

"Why am I moving? That hum must be a big fan or something. Why do I think I'm not going to like this?!"

Scarlett kept fighting to get free, swinging back and forth even if she couldn't restore herself. Eventually her legs banged into some sort of metal tube opening, leaving her stuck inside it.

"Whaaa! What is Ally doing wi-OOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this is nice."

Scarlett was getting fed into something really hot. Before she could process what was happening, her feet touched the hot metal floor and bubbled away into a gooey mess. The claw kept lowering her, forcing more of her legs against the melting-hot metal below.

"OOOOOOOOOH YEAH!!! If I knew this was coming I wouldn't have complained about being a tube!"

 As Scarlett's thighs puddled on the floor, more of Scarlett's upper body melted from the pleasurable sensation of being melted. Her eyes were rolling back in ecstasy, her hair and arms were dripping into the puddle below, and her head was stretching from the claw as she lost cohesion.

Then the cotton candy machine's fans kicked up.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-WHRARHHREJKBET"

Strands of gooey red and blue cotton candy came out of the feeding tube and floated around the inside of the machine. Feeling her body split into all directions as her hips hit the melting plate was all too much for Scarlett, the rest of her melting tube body instantly liquefied, splashing and pooling in the bottom of the machine to be spun into candy.

The fans kicked into overdrive to process all the new melted Scarlett material. This created a feast of fluffy candy floating around. Eventually, a stick came in on a robotic arm, and caught the Scarlett fluff. She stuck to the stick, which started spinning.

Scarlett could barely process anything happening, still reveling in having her melted body ripped apart and fluttering everywhere.

* * *

The mochi machine spat out one last blond colored ball, this one with a red lump on the top matching the color of Phoebe's ribbons. It landed on top of the small white, blue, and blond pyramid of mochi near Ally's controls.

Two eyes appeared on that mochi, still spinning, before it spoke with Phoebe's voice.

"Whaaaaaaa...and I thought the babysitting gig was bad..."

She looked around, and realized no one else was present. She tried to move or do anything to restore herself, and found herself completely sapped of energy after her squishy mochi experience.

"Um, I think I'm in the lab? Ally? Scarlett? Are either of you around? I might need some help snapping back from this!"

On cue, the doors to the cotton candy machine opened. A fluffy pile cotton candy on a stick, colored Scarlett red and ice blue, blended with deep violet in between, clattered to the floor next to her.

"Ooooo tasty!" The mochi pyramid wobbled, as Phoebe briefly forgot her current state and tried to grab the candy. "WHAAA! Oh, right, I'm candy too! EEK! Uuuuh, those colors look weird though. Is that you Scarlett?"

Scarlett's blue eyes opened in the red section of candy. Her voice was still lost in love of the melting process. "What happened? Can I do that again? Oh...wow..."

With that, her eyes melted clean off the candy and splatted on the floor.

"Meep! Uuuuh, Ally?"

* * *

Ally felt the *SNAP* of another piece of her body being twisted away, wrapped up, and dumped onto the rest of her. There was a certain zen to being split into hundreds of pieces one at a time. It was a nice wind down after the thrill of being stirred into an unrecognizable pink mess, especially with no Boo around to experiment further.

She finally felt the last bit of her get twisted and wrapped up, and all of her was in one place.

"Aaaaahhhhh...all good things must end I guess. I wonder how the others are doing?"

A door open and the hundreds of pieces of Ally Taffy tumbled to the floor of the lab area next to Phoebe and Scarlett.

Phoebe called to her immediately. "Allyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

"Heeeeey Phoebe!"

Phoebe must not have been sure Ally candied herself on purpose or not. She sounded concerned. "Oh no! Did you fall in too?!"

"Nah, I didn't want you two to hog all the fun. Figured I could unwind too."

The many balls of Phoebe bounced, each layer of the mochi pyramid jumping up and down before shuffling back into place. "What?! How are we going to get out of this?!"

"It's okay, I set the lab to restore us about ten minutes after I jumped in. Should be here any second."

Naturally, a robot arm holding a restoration beam swept into the area as Ally finished speaking. It aimed the beam at Phoebe, then at Scarlett, then Ally, then Phoebe again. It never fired.

A robotic voice came from the arm. "ERROR. UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT TO RESTORE. MULTIPLE TOONS DETECTED. AWAITING FURTHER INPUT."

This time it was the taffy pile that jumped in rage, scattering pieces to the sides. "What?! Just zap everything ya dumb robot! Ugh...and I'm all tied up right now."

Several pieces of Ally jumped and struggled against her wrappers, but found no escape.

"UUUUGH Why did I have to design this so well! Well, if Phoebe's still stuck...Scarlett? Are you there? Can you restore yourself and do something?"

"Heeeeeh melty cotton candy machine best machine." Scarlett, rather than restoring herself, melted completely off the stick holding her fluffy body.

"Huh, I didn't think Cotton Candy could melt like that...but I guess I never tested it on someone with Scarlett's tastes. Uuuuh Phoebe? Can you restore yourself?"

The mountain of mochi shook a little, and Phoebe's ribbon popped out of the red spot on the top piece. Ally wasn't sure she had ever seen candy blush until that moment.

"Oh dear..."

* * *

It took another half hour, but the ladies were able to restore themselves. Phoebe mushed her pieces together enough to form something resembling hands to unpack Ally. Released from their prisons, the tiny taffy Allys managed to mash themselves back together and grab a restoration beam. The restored Ally zapped the pile of misshapen Phoebe mochi and puddle of Scarlett, who reformed with her eyes closed on the floor hugging herself.

"You okay Scarlett?"

She rolled over, eyes still closed. "Mmmm...can't wait to watch this with Amber later...I'll just stay a puddle a while longer..."

Phoebe and Ally looked at each other, not sure what to do next. Phoebe eventually kneeled down and gently shook her shoulder. "Um, Scarlett? You're solid."

"Wha? How?" Scarlett's eyes shot open, feeling her body with her hands to make sure it was solid. She pouted. "No fair! Glooping together was going to be fun!"

Phoebe was confused. Ally just laughed.

"Pffft you're too much Scarlett."

The two flat mates kept laughing while Scarlett sheepishly took in the situation and stood up, realizing her fun time was over.

Scarlett eventually scratched her head, not sure what else to suggest. "So...should we go back upstairs for a snack or something?"

Phoebe looked nervous at the idea. "Maaaaaaaybe not yet. I think Cassie's still mad at me."

Ally scratched her chin. "Hmm...okay Phoebe. I think I have an idea for Miss Melts-a-lot over there. I'll be right back with something for you to test. Just don't touch anything."

Phoebe smiled at the chance to help Ally some more. "Ooo! Okay."

Ally ran around a corner, leaving Scarlett and Phoebe near the candy equipment and some nice big shiny buttons.

After a brief awkward silence, Scarlett spoke up. "So...your flat mate squished you, crumpled you up...and just tossed you down here without letting you have fun?"

Phoebe, looking worried, nervously shuffled her feat. "Yeah. I usually don't like getting squished unless we're playing tag." Phoebe used her arms to squish her tummy from the sides, as if to make sure it was still three dimensional. "I still don't understand why she doesn't like those videos. Kitties and otters are so cute! I mean...maybe it was the flowers? Everyone says they're really fashionable though! I thought she would like matching them to a cute dress. They don't bloom very often, I didn't know she would hate them!"

Scarlett thought about this for a minute, realizing Phoebe wasn't as into squishy antics as she was. "Aw, don't worry about it. She's kinda grumpy anyway. Hey, maybe we go back to the park after this and get you some more flowers. I'm sure there's a way to get them in here without bothering Cassie."

"Maybe." Phoebe leaned back against a machine, sighing. "Maybe she won't squish me again if-"

*CLUNK*

Phoebe briefly lost her balance when a large red button depressed under her elbow. The same pleasant robotic voice from earlier echoed through the chamber.

"Drying sequence, activated. Deploying tidy collection bin."

Scarlett and Phoebe looked at each other. "What?!"

A robot arm threw a large green backyard wading pool on the floor. Another grabbed Phoebe and threw her in.

"AIEEEEEE!"

Scarlett took a step back, staying out of the way of any more weird contraptions in this lab.

"USING PREVIOUS SETTING, ULTRA DRY. STAND CLEAR."

No less than ten hair driers descended from the ceiling, all of them pointing at Phoebe.

Phoebe's eyes teared up, knowing what came next. "But I just got myself solid again!"

They all clicked on, forcing torrents of hot air at Phoebe.

"BLAAAAARRAAAAAGHRAAAABLARHAHABA..."

Phoebe's shirt and ribbons briefly fluttered in the wind, before all of her started melting. Her whole face became a viscous goo, blond hair and pale skin streaming down her dripping chest. She lifted her arms, already shiny with droplets of her melting body, to shield herself and try to mold her face back into shape, but Phoebe quickly lost the strength to hold them up. Her arms slumped, extended as they melted off her shoulders, some splatting against her blob like skirt and the rest liquefying on the floor.

Her legs immediately sank into the pool, layers of her gooey toony body spreading in the container. Her skirt sank past her cute butt, smearing her pink panties and the butt within across the growing pool of herself. Her tummy swirled in layers on top of both, before her curvy breasts gave up on staying solid and splashed across her in a large blue puddle.

"Pleeeeeeeeh"

Scarlett watched Phoebe go from cute woman to gooey mess in 5 seconds, and was struggling to stay solid herself. "Holy fuck that was hot..."

"Whaaaat? Did Phoebe hit the melt beam button again?"

Scarlett looked to Ally, standing behind her with a box in her hands. Scarlett's face was beat read and completely flustered. "She hit a button and then there were hair dryers and-"

Ally held up a hand. "It's okay, I still have the restoration beam."

Scarlett immediately splashed to the floor, as if the thin solid walls holding her body in shape simply disappeared.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Ally shook her head. "And Flex says he's not a fan of hair dryer gags. Some writers..."

She zapped Scarlett with the restoration beam. She quickly swirled up in a stream of pink and blue, before popping back into shape  with a soft splash of herself going around.

Ally rolled her eyes as Scarlett regained her balance, and turned to the wading pool of liquid Phoebe. "Now then, are you okay in there Phoebe?"

Phoebe's voice sounded as if it was gargling underwater. "Um, I think so? I feel kinda, um, flowy? Tee hee! These bubbles tickle when I talk!"

"Great!" Ally popped open the box, took out a large green bubble wand. She dropped the box, and walked to the pool.

Phoebe's colors were mixing together, her surface rumbling around back and forth creating some waves. "I think I'm getting used to moving like this! I think I'm splashing around and I can feel the whole pool!"

Scarlett, finally getting a hold of herself, walked over to join them. "Yeah! Melting's so much fun! Phoebe you really need to try this more often and...Ally, what are you doing?"

"Trust me. Phoebe loves bubbles."

"Oh yeah! I love playing with bubbles! Why just last weekend we were playing roller tag outside, and Cassie tried to squish me, but I think she went inside. After that Ally's bubble machine outside fired up and we had all these great green and blue bubbles to chase and pop all afternoon and I told Ally how much I loved bubbles and-"

*PLUNK*

"-uuuh Ally? Did you drop something in me?"

"Just a bubble wand."

"Oh, okay-Wait a what?!"

Ally pulled the wand out of Phoebe, dripping the pastel blue of her shirt. In the wand, Phoebe's face nervously looked around, wobbling as a thin sheet of gooey bubble.

Ally laughed a little. "Oh, let yourself go a little! Scarlett, would you like to try it?"

Scarlett walked up with wide eyes and a big smile, then pinched her wrist. "DO I?!"

She took the wand from Ally, and gently lifted it over her shoulders.

"One, two, threeee!"

Scarlett started jogging through the lab. Phoebe's face stretched out behind the bubble wand as air tried to rush through her.

"Whooooa! What are you-"

*BLOOMP*

Phoebe's face, and her entire gooey head, came off the wand in a giant wobbly sphere, now a bubble floating through the lab.

"Whoooaa! Hah! Hey this is fun!"

Scarlett quickly dunked the wand again, making another bubble float around with the features of Phoebe's chest painted on it.

"Wheeee!  I can feel that! It feels like I'm floating everywhere! Hey Ally this was a fun idea!"

Scarlett dunked the wand a third time, and started running.
Phoebe was still giggling at her current state. "Wub wub wub! I'm a wobbly bubble! Floating is fun and-Scarlett no! Put my butt back in the pool!"

Sure enough, Scarlett was giving new meaning to the phrase bubble butt. Phoebe's pink-striped panties were bubbling out the back of the wand along with her long legs.

"Eek! I mean, it still feels like fun, but can you do something to hide my butt before-"

*POP*

Phoebe's face floated into one of the control levers on the candy machine, splatting there as a messy blond puddle with her face on it.

"Blurp...hahahah!"

Ally kneeled in front of the Phoebe splatter, smiling to check on her flat mate. "Still having fun?"

Phoebe grinned. "If you mix me up more, AGAIN!"

* * *

After a good 15 minutes of bubbly fun, only a little Phoebe bubble mix remained in the pool. Most of her was splashed around the lab in various blue splats, so Ally reached for the restoration beam.

"Ooookay Scarlett. Let me bring her back. She had a little fun with this, but she's not as good as snapping back as we are."

Scarlett stood back and let Ally zap the last of Phoebe with the green beam. Paintball sized globs of blue Pheobe zoomed in from around the room, piling into a big puddle of Phoebe. Eventually the green light surrounding her formed into a green energy hand, reached into the Phoebe goop, and hoisted her restored body out by her ponytail.

"Wheeeee! Ally we should do that again! I want to use the wand this time!"

Ally nodded. "I'm glad you had fun. Maybe we can play outside tonight after Scarlett goes home."

Phoebe clapped her hands. Great! It was fun, but to be honest, I'm kinda glad I don't feel soupy anymore."

Scarlett laughed. "You made GREAT bubbles Phoebe! You just need to get into it more."

"I dunno, I think my body's had enough for one day." Phoebe ran her hands over herself, once again checking that she was still solid. "Oh, Scarlett! We should still go to the park!"

Scarlett smiled. "Ooooh right! Let's go!"

Ally turned to walk deeper into the lab, holding up her keys. "Hang on, I'll drive."

Scarlett looked around while they waited for Ally. She dug through a crate labeled "weird stuff to fix" looking for anything to mess with to pass the time, and pulled out a strange metal ball.

She tossed it around in her hands studying it before chatting more with Phoebe. "Oh, are you talking about the park with the big lake along the jogging trail?

"Yes! It's so nice there!" Phoebe hopped up and down, excited that Scarlett knew the place. "That's there I found the flower this morning too! It's behind the lake. I'm glad it was safe there, I heard there was some where plant there a few months ago, but I guess someone took care of it."

Scarlett smiled, remembering that jogging trip. She had to shake herself back to attention. "Okay, so...where did Ally go anyway?"

"I think she's coming around that corner?"

"Ah, okay." Scarlett leaned back against the wall, waiting, studying the strange device from the crate.

Naturally, the wall rose up, the garage door for Ally's steamroller. She was driving straight at them.

Scarlett stumbled forward into Phoebe, knocking her over and tumbling around the ground on top of each other.

Phoebe squirmed underneath Scarlett. "Scarlett! Get off me!"

"Aaaaaaah sorry sorry sorry!" Scarlett, caught in a compromising position on top of her friend wiggling beneath her, was not able to unstick herself from Phoebe and roll over before the crushing weight of the drum was upon them.

"EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
*SPLAAAAAAAAAAAT*

Phoebe and Scarlett were squished to a single inch of thickness on top of one another under the roller. They were spread and smeared to twice their normal dimensions, and their edges were a little goopy and blending together from the sheer weight of the machine.

Ally looked around from the driver's seat, pretending to have no idea where they were. "Huh, where are they? Oh well, I hope I didn't squish them again already!"

She threw the steamroller into reverse, going over Scarlett and Phoebe again.

*SQUIIIIIIIIIISH!*
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"BLUUUAAAAAAAAUUUBLLBLBLBL!"

Scarlett and Phoebe were squished impossibly thin together, smearing their bodies into a wide sheet. The steamroller's drum applied so much pressure, Scarlett and Phoebe felt their edges blending into one another. Scarlett felt extra mass getting forced into her as she was spread wider, eventually hearing a mental cry of "EEEEEEE-PLEH!!!" in her head as their bodies melded into each other completely.

Ally smiled, looking down at the big splat on the ground. They were so thin, the air vents were making their edges flutter in the weak breeze. "Ah, that's them! I'd recognize Scarlett's 'I like squishing' moan anywhere!"

Then she studied the massive blue sheet with splats of...pinkish orange? And that purple was too bright.

She frowned. "Wait, that color's all wrong. Where's their hair? We don't have any strawberry blonds in this story. What's going on?"

A new voice came out of the massive flattened woman. "Whoooooooooah...getting up now."

Ally watched the weird colors rearrange themselves on the splat, then twist and rise off the ground into a feminine figure. Ally noticed familiar small details that weren't quite right.

The woman reforming out of it had a long strawberry blond ponytail in a ribbon that looked like Phoebe's pastel red ribbons mixed with Scarlett's purple belt. Scarlett's belt pouch sat on a lighter brown version of her shorts, and she wore Scarlett's sandals, but everything was adorned with an explosion of purple ribbons. Phoebe's blue blouse had a picture on it that looked like an ice sculpture of a kitty cat, and Phoebe's stud earrings were now hanging ice cubes.



Of course she was a little curvier than either of Scarlett or Phoebe individually too. And once her face solidified, she had a ridiculously mischievous smile.

Ally approached cautiously. "Uuuuh, hi?"

The Scarlett Phoebe hybrid stretched. "Ooooh wow, Ally you might have overdone it!"

Ally blinked and rubbed her eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah! I haven't, err..." The Scarlett-Phoebe fusion scratched her chin. "Phoebe hasn't done this since college parties! She hasn't played Toon Pong or been in a large pillow fight for a while now though. We're going to have so much fun at the park now! Nobody will know it's us!"

Ally scratched her head. "Wait, how come I didn't know fusion was a thing? Weren't we squished together into ribbons the last time you ransacked my lab?"

"Yes, but you didn't use a 18 ton steamroller to do it."

Ally raised a finger to argue, but paused to think about it. "I guess I can't really argue that. You need to tell me about your college days later though. I didn't know you were into this sort of thing."

"Deal. Alright, we're going to pick flowers at the park! Oh, Scarlett took this out of a box earlier. It's been acting funny since we got squished."

They handed Ally the strange metal ball and ran up the stairs.

"Wait!" Ally called after them, still processing what happened too much to give chase. "You don't want anyone to recognize you? And you're getting the flowers that set Cassie off? What are you two thinking?!"

Ally finally turned her attention to the metal sphere in her hands, now glowing red. "And where did you find this? Wait, this is the grenade that only goes off after being-"

*KABOOM*

"Squished..."

Ally was thoroughly charred by the explosion.

"I'm not catching up to them soon am I? Uuuuuugh...."

Ally tried to take a step forward, but as soon as her foot hit the ground, it fell to dust. Her back leg fell off and crumbled behind her, leaving her upper body briefly suspended in mid air. She shrugged, leading the rest of her body to collapse into a pile of red ash, her eyes plopping on top of the dust after the rest of her had settled.

"Pbbbbt..." Red dust flew from Ally's eyes. "Those two are going to be trouble..."

* * *

Cassie, finally rid of Phoebe, was relaxing with a stroll through the park. This being another attention grabbing walk, she wore a ridiculously short deep purple top, with a keyhole cut to show off her cleavage. She wore short black shorts that exaggerated her butt, and an intentionally questionable job of covering herself more with her usual denim jacket tied around her waist.

After winking at another gawker without stopping, she pulled out her phone to update her stats.

"Let's see. That makes 32 stares, including the 7 pairs of eyeballs popping out. 20 cat calls, and I only needed my mallet for 3 of the fools that tried to touch the merchandise. 25 compliments, 6 phone numbers..." Cassie paused and grinned, too proud of herself. "And those two college boys that outright melted off the bridge into the stream!"

Cassie put her phone away, and continued her walk. There was group huddled in conversation ahead, a group of 4 or 5 guys just chatting. One shook the others, directing their attention her way.

Cassie innocently twirled a finger through her green locks. "Oh, this is going to be FUN."

* * *

The Scarlett Phoebe fusion walked the path in the opposite direction Cassie did. It was the fastest way to get to the rare Jupiter flowers.

As they walked, Phoebe "talked" about the flowers with Scarlett in their shared head. *I've loved these flowers for years! Usually Cassie doesn't mind when I decorate the house, but she was really upset about these for some reason. And they're SO PRETTY!*

Scarlett thought about the way Cassie was sneezing when she arrived. *Um, Phoebe? I think Cassie's allergic to them.*

*Huh? What makes you say that?*

Scarlett rolled their eyes. *That woman seriously needs to stop squishing you before she makes her point. You really need to stand up for yourself Phoebe!*

*Oh, I don't want to cause trouble. Cassie can be pretty mean when she's angry. I mean, sure I play with her sometimes. Like roller tag, and dodge roller, Cassie dress up, and...*

They came across Cassie and her group of admirers. Cassie was posing, stretching her arms up and arching her back a little too much against a tree, pretending not to notice her clothes struggling to keep her modest.

Scarlett saw the steam coming out of one of the guy's ears. She also caught the glint in Cassie's eyes, proud of inducing the reaction.

*Phoebe, does she always play with her admirers like that?*

Phoebe mentally huffed. *Yeah. I guess she can be kinda mean sometimes.*

Scarlett raised the flowers to their face, breathing in deep. *Phoebe, do you want a big balloon to go home with?*

*Oooo that would be fun! But where do you think we can get one?*

*Oh...I have an idea.*

* * *

"Hahahah!"

Cassie forced herself to laugh at another questionable joke. They were at least still fawning over her, but if they wanted to keep admiring her, they needed better quality jokes. Maybe she could prove one more to be a fool though.

 "Well I'm sorry boys, but I need to get moving. I need to go wash my car."

"LET ME HELP!" "I CAN HELP!" "OH I BET YOUR CAR'S GREAT LET ME HELP!"

Cassie reveled in the admiration. *Huh, only four voices. What happened to the fifth?* She thought to herself.

*THUD*

*Ooooh I actually made one faint! Classic! At least this one stayed solid. Some people these days. I can't understand why anyone would want to be a soupy mess like Allison's crazy friend...what was her name?*

"Hi Cassie!"

Cassie looked in the direction of the new voice. It sounded vaguely familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it. In Cassie's judgment, she had a tacky too short blouse, and too many purple ribbons decorating her curvy body. The strawberry blond woman clearly had poor fashion taste, but given the crowd in the park, Cassie needed to get her new admirers away from this show off and her...

...rare Jupiter Flowers...

Cassie immediately felt her nose start to twitch, a sneeze and explosion of air building up inside her from inhaling the pollen from the strange woman's flowers.

"Who are- ...No, get those flowers away from here before-AH-CHOOOO"
*FWOOOMP*
"Gyaaa!" "Whoa!"

Cassie's head inflated to the size of a large sitting ball. Her usual confident look was now a shocked face painted on a flesh toned balloon, with her green hair starting to look shinier and more like a balloon than individual strands of hair.

The men that moments ago were desperate to get her number were now backing up. Whether it was shock or an ironically similar taste in transformations to Cassie's own, she was losing the four conscious ones.

"Cassie! I didn't know you would be here. Look a the flowers we found!"

The new girl was still walking towards her. Cassie could swear she was twitching between vengeful smile and uncertainty at her actions. Did she know?

"Please, just keep those flowers awa---A---AAAAAH-CHOO!"
*FWOOOOOOMP*

This time Cassie's entire body inflated, puffing up to double her dimensions. Her limbs became puffy and immobile, and her curvaceous figure turned into a caricature of itself. The air inside her was starting to make her buoyant. She could no longer just stand on the ground, and was struggling to hop back and forth to stay upright.

"Let's get out of here!" "Yeah I think she's gonna blow!"

Cassie watched helplessly as her flirting targets ran away. She didn't want to think about them being right. "No! Wait! Help me! I wasn't done pretending to care about you! Waaaaait!!!"

"It's okay Cassie! Here, this ought to cheer you up!"

Her new worst enemy walked up to her, and Cassie could do nothing to float away in her ridiculous state. She inched backwards with each bounce, making the new girl bob from side to side with her, until she got close enough to put a small crown of those accursed flowers on her head.

"Who are you?! Why would you-CHOO!!!"
*FWOOOMP*
*CHEEEEAAAAAAAK*

Cassie's body blew up even more. Air filled every bit of her, expanding her torso and absorbing her limbs. She had grown almost completely spherical, with only her bloated head, hands, and feet poking out of her ballooned body. Her face was still an overinflated picture painted on, grimacing from the struggle to stay in one piece.

Plus, she was floating away.

"Whoooa...I must be dreaming! I didn't know you were into this stuff too!"

"WHAT?!" Cassie rotated her floating body to look down. The guy she knocked out with her looks was waking up. Cassie suddenly wished he didn't exist. If he was into the same sort of foolishness Allison and her boyfriend were, she wanted nothing to do with him.

Of course, he was still better than the strange woman laughing.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! GET ME DOWN! I AM CASSANDRA VALENTINE AND I WILL-"

*BUMP*

The hollow sound of a balloon bouncing echoed through Cassie's body. She waved her hands to spin around and see what her butt just floated into.

And saw the army of bees exiting the worst placed bee hive she had ever seen. They were more than ready to defend their home from whatever floated into it.

"No! Nooo! Not the bees!"
"BZZZZZZZZZZ!"
*POING*

Cassie's body stretched and contorted, her eyes and hands bulging to five times their already ridiculous size to try and resist being punctured by the swarm stabbing into her exposed rear end.

*KABOOOOOOOM*

* * *

With a thunderous noise, Cassie's body burst into hundreds of scraps of tanned skin and green hair. Bits of her rained down on the Phoebe Scarlett fusion and Cassie's last flirting friend. It took over a minute for all of her to float down, settling on the ground.

"Whooooa, I didn't think she'd do it!" Cassie's last admirer was snapping a few pictures of the scattered bits of Cassie, getting ready to upload them. "Hey, did you get her Instaglam?"

Scarlett and Phoebe gave him a pat on the shoulder. "@TheGreatCassandraV. Make sure you tag her! But I think you should get out of here, she's usually a little grumpy after pulling back together."

"Oh, right. Thanks!" He left in a hurry, letting Phoebe and Scarlett gather the rest of Cassie back together.

*Um, Scarlett? Was that okay?*

*Definitely Phoebe. She did squish both of us earlier today, and it's her fault you went through the mochi maker. Just think of it as another game of roller tag and she's it again. Besides, she thinks it was some weirdo. It will be our little secret.*

*But Scarlett, you are a weirdo!*

Their mental conversation paused.

*Okay, good point, some UNKNOWN weirdo*

They laughed out loud. "Hahaha-brrrrbrbrbrbrbr"

*ZAP*
*KER-SPLIT*

Phoebe and Scarlett vertically split in half, each half falling to one side surrounded by a green light. Behind the split woman was Ally, holding one of her patented restoration beams.

"There you are. I thought you might be causing trouble."

Both halves of the fusion splashed against the ground and reformed into her component toons.

Phoebe stumbled around, woozy. "Whoa...that was FUN! I wanna do it again later!"

The other red head was sitting on the ground, arms folded in a grumpy pose. "You need to make one of those that doesn't split fusions."

"I'll think about it. This one already doesn't work on shrunken people for some reason." Allison looked to Cassie's pile of green scraps. "But first, as much as it pains me to do this..."

*ZAP*

The rubbery pieces of Cassie swirled around like leaves in the wind before snapping back together.

Her face was pure rage. "WHERE IS SHE?!"

Ally blinked. "Where is who?"

"THAT STRAWBERRY BLOND TWIT THAT DID THAT TO ME! I will NOT allow some floozy to steal my boys and pop me like some cheap fair balloon!"

Phoebe backed away, nervously twisting her ankle around. "Um, Cassie? That was actually-"

Scarlett shoved her hand over Phoebe's mouth. "-the new #2 online video producer for some prank show, TF-You. She went that way! You can probably still catch her."

Cassie grinned. Her teeth looked sharp and pointy, and a dark aura surrounded her. She reached into her purse, and produced her favorite oversized mallet, dropping it to the ground next to her with a loud *SLAM* to test its weight. "Thank you Scarlett. I SWEAR, when I am through with that purple ribboned ditz, she won't even have TWO dimensions!"

Cassie charged down the path, clouds of dirt in her wake.

Ally stood thinking. "Less than two dimensions? Cassie I don't think you can squish her into a line, it's mathematically improbable. Cassie?"

"I think she's gone."

Phoebe was still looking a little nervous. "Um, was that okay? And can we go home now? When Cassie squished me, I was in the middle of some great Mr. Otter videos. Want to finish watching them with me?"

Ally and Scarlett laughed.

"Sure Phoebe, let's get back. I need to drive home soon anyway."

Ally clapped a hand on Scarlett's back. "Yeah, besides, we have business to talk about."

Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"Yup! You said something about building obstacle courses after our trip through the piston machine?"

Phoebe perked up. "Oh, you mean like when Scarlett's on TV?"

Ally pointed back at Phoebe. "Exactly! Scarlett gave me an idea earlier, and if she's willing, I think we can test something out."
