Amber stared down the cute woman with reddish-brown hair outside the Dust Bunny booth, daring her to try again. The fair goer looked athletic enough, but her first two throws were no where near the target. Amber actually felt a little bad, but she was supposed to heckle the fans a little. After all, it usually goaded them into trying again.
"Come on, you can do better than that! What, are you scared of melting people or something?!"
The woman in a baseball tee shirt lowered her eyes, and Amber could swear they briefly glowed red. She went into a full wind up like a baseball pitcher, and released the ball like a laser, shattering the target...
..."Dunking" Amber.
"OH SHI-"
*CLANG*
*SSSSSZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*
Amber's seat fell out from under her, dropping her onto the super hot slide below. Her body compressed to bounce on her cute rear end, but couldn't rise off the heated metal. The league slides were super heated to melt on contact, meaning most of Amber's backside was already gooped.
"Wooooooooo!!!"
Amber's voice was half surprise and half desire. There was a reason her girlfriend loved doing this. Her back was flowing apart, any stiffness from the chair literally melting away. It was cutting through her, liquefying her core, and it felt fantastic.
She grinned, knowing the bumps in the track were coming. Fans loved it when they splashed around because it mixed them up, but not many of them would admit they knew how good it felt too.
By now Amber was a flowing puddle of yellow, peach, and pink, vaguely resembling her normal self. She felt her legs break against the first bumps in the slide, splashing around like an Amber-white-water river. Once her thighs went, she reached between her legs, knowing what was splashing apart next.
"AEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Sure they tried not to moan too much in public, but they never got any complaints. Drops of Amber's pink shorts flew everywhere as her butt scattered into hundreds of pink droplets. Her body rippled, and her colors swirled together as Amber was teased all over. She started bubbling with excitement, losing consistency from goop to wet paint splashing around. Her body stretched and distorted flowing over the wavy slide, giving the cheering fans a good laugh as a thigh, her stomach, or just her eyes appeared huge along the slide before flowing further down.
*SPLASH*
All too soon the slide ended. Amber's gooey body splashed into a funnel at the end of the slide, mixing and spinning her colors around. She drained down funny spinny science-lab tubes, magnifying her like a fun house mirror as she flowed down. A bit of her butt here, a piece of her shirt there, and the occasional eye ball blooping past.
*SPLOOOORT*
Eventually she splashed out the tube into a large transparent tray. Amber was a massive puddle of yellow and pink goo, layers of her sinking and pooling into the rest of her body.
A cheer rose up from the crowd for the brunette. She finished watching Amber drip off the slide, smiled and high fived others in the line, and wandered off to the next attraction.
Scarlett was laughing in her seat. "Cleanup on aisle Amber! CLASSIC!" She high fived Zoe across Amber's empty seat.
Jess chuckled too. She yelled across the booth to whoever was listening. "HEY! Send someone like that over here! My back is getting stiff relaxing here all day."

It was the first week of the Transformation League's partnership with the carnival coming through town. As they did every year, teams played the part in carnival games, getting melted, flattened, and whatever else the fans wanted. It was good advertising for the league, a good attraction for the carnival, and half the money went to charity too.
For a small fee tonight, you could try to melt your favorite Dust Bunny. When solid, all four ladies were sitting in similar chairs next to wooden targets. It was a classic dunk tank scenario, except instead of a bath, the ladies got gooped.
Once Amber cooled enough to stop bubbling, one of the attendants ran out and scooped up the tray Amber collected in. They carried her backstage to an air conditioned room to solidify, and eventually come back.
The night went on like that. Every few minutes one of the ladies would be sent down the slide into a bubbling mess of melted mayhem. So, it was a usual night at the fair, until...
"You know, when Allison told me some weirdos would be willing to splat themselves for my amusement, I told her she was crazy. But now that I see who's here, I am positively thrilled."
Zoe squinted at the newcomer. "Wait, is that the irritable woman from the practice race?"
Amber sighed. "Yeah."
Scarlett and Jessica said "Hiiiii Caaaassiiiie" with the same enthusiasm of a class greeting their instructor.
Cassie's face turned red. She stood up taller, clenching her fists at her sides.
"I! AM! NOT! IRRITABLE!"
*WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
Steam shot out Cassie's ears like a train whistle. The top of her head floated off and tried to escape as her rage fired more steam into the air, but she quickly pulled it down into place, hoping nobody noticed.
The whole crowd grew silent, silently staring at the irritable, if beautiful, green haired woman.
Cassie looked at the patrons still holding balls to throw. She pulled out several bills, giving some to each of them while grabbing their projectiles.
"Stop staring! Give me those, you'll just miss anyway. Go, get out! This is a private matter!"
Jessica rubbed her temples. "Heeeere we go."
Zoe didn't know enough to stay quiet. "Hey! Wait your turn like everyone else. There's plenty of me to melt around."
Cassie glared back at her. "Look at yourself! You WANT to melt?"
"She's just jealous about the hotel."
Everyone looked at Scarlett. Cassie's eyes started twitching.
Scarlett leaned forward in her chair, not hiding her amusement. "She just wants to see a melted Amber again. I think she liked it."
"Wha- I want to reduce you to a helpless puddle of goop, not...I mean..." Cassie was a little flustered, realizing that reducing her rivals to blithering bubbling messes was exactly what they wanted anyway.
Amber laughed, realizing Cassie's quandary. She leaned over and pretended to share a secret, while speaking loudly. "You know? I think she's still mad she never caught her bestest friend, the cuddly mouse."
Cassie's eyes glowed, covering the area in a soft green light, and a dark aura surrounded her. She pulled her arm back to throw.
"Don't you EVER mention that foul creature."
She threw four strikes.
*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*
*KATHUMP*
Amber, Scarlett, Zoe, and Jessica all had their seats fall out from under them at once. They floated for a moment, looking at each other, before shrugging and falling down.
*SPLOOOOOOOOOOSH*
"AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
None of the Dust Bunnies stayed solid for long on the slides. Each sank into a cute legless blob, sliding and floating along on layers of melted flesh, before flowing apart into colorful gooey puddles on the slides. None of them were complaining. In fact, Zoe somehow kept her face flowing consistently enough to stick her tongue on at Cassie.
"Hmph."
Cassie turned and walked away, satisfied that she liquefied Allison's annoying friends. She tried to put their loud relaxed sighs out of her mind, not looking back at the various colors of goopy woman flowing around, pooling in giant puddles below.
*SPLAAAAAAAAASH*
She heard their booth manager make an announcement. "Alright folks, ten minute break, we'll be right back once we get everyone solid again!"
Cassie couldn't help but cackle a little. Melted rivals, a show of skill, maybe someone would post the feat on Instaglam later and-
*HURK*
Cassie's walk stopped, her jacket grabbed from behind. She turned to find a large, strong woman in a dark purple tank top holding her collar. The word "SECURITY" was cheaply printed on her shirt.
"I'm sorry ma'm. As impressive as that was, you never did pay for your attempt AND you cut the line."
"What?! Everyone at the front was fairly compensated."
The bouncer continued without acknowledging Cassie's defense. "AND you're not supposed to take all 4 at once by yourself. Look at this line building up! I don't want to have to turn people away! They came here to melt celebrities!"
She leaned in close, eye to eye with Cassie. "Now, do you know anyone that could help us out of this jam?"
The color drained from Cassie's face.
She cracked her knuckles. "Good! I knew you would agree."
The bouncer lifted Cassie into the air, grabbed her head and feet, and squished her together like an accordion. Anyone watching was treated to her legs and torso crumpling and wobbling together like play dough. There was a splash of green when Cassie disappeared inside her clasped hands. With a few more hand motions, Cassie was squished into a tight green ball. The only signs she was a beautiful woman were her tanned face on one side, eyes looking bewildered that this was even possible, and her deep red lacy underwear visible on the other.
Mostly satisfied with her work, the bouncer threw Cassie at one of the dunk chairs.
*WHAM*
"OOOF!"
Cassie' face contorted on the surface of the ball, compressing against the seat. Somehow, Cassie popped back to normal.
"Whoa....I feel dizzy..."
Then Cassie saw the strong woman and the stage manager each holding up a sack of baseballs near the front of the line.
"Alright! Who wants to take down the champ?"
Tons of hands went into the air, everyone willing to throw in on the offer to give Cassie her comeuppance. For charity, of course.
"What?! You can't do this to me! I am THE Cassandra Valentine! And I-WHOA!"
*THUNK*THUNK*THUNK*THUNK*
*SPLOOOSH*
Tons of happy fans threw a baseball. A few might have even hit the target. Either way she fell, and the slide made short work of Cassie. Her legs gelled into a pink gooey substance carrying her torso, until that too spread into a slimey wave of green and black. As she drained down the strange science tubes, she could hear the clicks of hundred of cameras capturing her melted, enlarged, and enraged face through the glass.
When she splashed into the bin beneath, Cassie was a mostly green blob with a pair of eyes floating on the surface. She huffed and willed her body to snap back to normal, but restoring from this wasn't Cassie's best skill.
The bouncer walked over and picked up the basin. "Whoa! That's one of the best responses we've had from the audience all night! Who wants to see how much we can loosen her up?"
"YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!"
Cassie's eyes opened wide on her melted form. She managed to form a mouth.
"Hey, wait! What are you doblghruglrbghrl"
Hey body lost consistency when they poured her into a clear bucket near another target. Her messy body splashed in, leaving green drops everywhere.
"Alright! Round 2!"
Cassie barely had time to think before a ball crashed into the target. For the next 10 minutes, the crowd had surprisingly good aim, and Cassie got some quality time painting the slides green.
*SPLAAAAAAAAAASH*
