"Ninety eight...Ninety nine! There!" Scarlett finished counting out cash for the strange woman she encountered on the maintain trail. That whole bunch of bananas was a little expensive, but she knew they were useful.

"Thanks again for the bananas! I know these things make me stronger if I cook them!" She flexed, only barely managing the bulging biceps her friends could produce for a short time, and her arms drooping into wet noodles almost immediately. "I'm going back to the stable to see what I can do."

Scarlett turned and ran down the trail, but the mysterious NPC raised an arm. "Wait! Don't you want to know why you should enjoy that meal?"

Scarlett paid her no attention, literally skipping away.

The woman with a blond ponytail threw off her merchant clothing, wearing ninja gear underneath. "BECAUSE EVERY MEAL MIGHT BE YOUR LAST! HAVE AT YOU!"

The ninja had to hurry. Scarlett was already putting distance between them through sheer ignorance.

*How could she be playing the hero if she just ignores villains like this?!*

She sprinted, gaining on the lazy hero. The ninja raised her hooked blade, preparing to slice and dice her red head to tiny bits...

*WHAAAAAAAAAAAM*

* * *

Jessica winced watching it happen on the TV. A huge boulder came down behind Scarlett, completely obliterating Amber. The blond and pink ninja's body was briefly visible as a stack of flattened segments, like a strange accordion gooping together under the immense weight. Amber crumpled under the rock, splattering bits of yellow and pink everywhere. She was reduced to a big pancake staring at the sky before she vanished in a pink puff of smoke, ejected by the game.

Scarlett turned around on the TV afterwards. "Was something there? Oh these damn boulders, I need to keep moving!" She hurried away, not waiting for more to come after her.

Jess laughed at that. "Really Scarlett? I thought you had more awareness than that."

*Wooowoowoowooo*

Her attention was redirected to the floppy noise coming from the card slot. A massive throw rug sized Amber somehow squeezed out, one inch thick, with her hands caught palms up next to her goofy face, unable to catch the object of her flattening. Her tank top and shorts didn't do much to cover the rest of her, boobs and butt spread to delightful proportions.

Jess did the polite thing and picked her up, looking at her face to face. "No luck again champ?"

Amber's sheet wobbled, a result of trying to shake her flat head fused into the middle of her flattened form. "Ugh...I mean getting squeezed together by such exquisite pressure is nice, but really? A random falling rock? When I get crushed into a floppy mess like this I'd rather have time to really enjoy it. That was over too fast."

Zoe's voice called from the door out of the house. "Did you get Red out yet? I don't want to be late for the party. These tits aren't going to inflate themselves!"

Jess rolled her eyes while shaking Amber back into shape. "Go ahead babe, we'll pop you when we get there."

The door squeaked open and shut, Zoe shouting with excitement as she left. "Wooooooo yeah!!!"

*POP*

Jess flapped out Amber, holding her restored shoulders after one good shake and putting her back on her feet. "I can't deny I'm having a great time watching you get gooped so many times, but Zoe does have a point. You sure you're good to go back in after her again?"

The blond windmilled her arms, stretching and uncrinkling her joints. "You know what they say. Tenth time's the charm." She turned to the TV. "Where is she now?"

Jess's purple hair peeked over Amber's shoulder. "I think she's entering that Connecting Metal area with the metal fencing cubes."

"Perfect!" Amber cracked her knuckles. "I think I can get her there."

She jumped into a back flip, landing feet first on the card slot to get sucked in like a genie into her bottle. Her smile grew as her hips and curvy bits were squeezed in, and with a final splash of a few yellow droplets, Amber vanished into the electronics again.

* * *


"Aaaaand there we go."

Scarlett finished maneuvering another metal cube with her giant electro magnet. She stood atop a hill with a mini-cliff on the side, a 30 foot drop if she stepped off the ledge. She was surrounded by the boxes with thick metal frames, supported by a chain-link-fence like lattice of metal supports within each edge.

She held up her thumb, looking to her destination across the small chasm on a similar hill. "Now I just need to get this flat grate about...three-quarters of the way off? Given the wind and the trajectory then I'd need to drop it from maybe 30 feet up, stand near the back, and that should launch me just right to..."

While she muttered about the best options, and ninja poofed into existence in the fields far behind her. When the pink smoke cleared, Amber adjusted her in-game pink robes to get her face behind the yellow scarf. "Alright, there she is. She's so wrapped up in this puzzle, I should be able to splat her out of existence."

Amber sprinted towards Scarlett's position, using the cover provided by random rocks and trees to remain unseen, while the red head moved the giant chunks of metal around. When she reached the closest tree trunk, she peeked around to get one more look at Scarlett before making her final attack.

"Okay, she's completely focused on that one metal box in the air. If I hurry, I'll slice her in half before she even knows I'm here."

She drew her hooked blade once again, got her off hand into a ready position, and sprinted at her target.

Scarlett remained focused on her task, setting up her see-saw catapult with the metal objects. Using her giant magnet to get the positions just right, she was making her final adjustments. "Alright, leave it there, and step back a little more...no a little bit more...just a bit further....whoops!"

Before Amber arrived, Scarlett tripped over the raised lip of the long metal slab she was using as the launching platform. She lost her grip on her magnet, dropping it as the fell to the side...

*WHOOOOSH*

...tumbling right under a lunging Amber's attack.

The ponytail ninja spun around on the metal grate. "No matter, you're still mine now hero."

Scarlett, unknowingly twisting away from Amber as she fell, still hadn't actually seen her attacker. "Huh? Who's here? Do I need to fight one of those crazies again?"

Amber pointed at Scarlett with her blade, playing the role of the villain. "Silence hero! You'll soon-EEEEEEEEEEEEP"

*CRAAAAAASH*
*CLANG*
*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*

The box Scarlett positioned to fling her through the air came down perfectly, striking the far lip of the platform dangling over open air. It flipped into the air as the box plummeted past, and would have launched Scarlett with considerable force if she was standing on the thick edge.

Amber, however, was standing in the middle over the almost chain linked center. At that speed, the thin lattice was like a knife cutting through butter, and Amber felt every bit of it. Her body split apart, giving her the sharp sensations of getting sliced up. Steel split her into hundreds of rubbery cubes, colored like her peach flesh and pink and yellow outfit. She gasped feeling some of her more sensitive areas split apart, barely able to process it before she felt all of her scattering in the air.

The wobbling two inch cubes of Amber bounced around this way and that, before each went up in a puff of pink smoke, once again banished to the living room.

* * *

Jess was pounding the couch watching Amber go to pieces. "Holy crap that must have felt great!"

On the TV, Scarlett didn't even turn around until all of Amber went up in smoke. "Huh? Who's talking? Is this game glitching out again?"

*THOOMP*THOOMP*THOOMP*...

Cube after rubbery cube of Amber's remains were fired out of the console, immediately growing out of the card slot to a few inches in size and bouncing around the room.

Jess had to raise her arms to defend herself from bits of Amber bouncing off her. "Ack, hey! Watch where you're flying around!"

Eventually the flood of Amber cubes stopped pouring out, and her bouncing pieces tumbled to a halt.

Which didn't stop every last one from quivering wildly.

Jess looked at the floor, taking in all of her sliced and diced friend. "You okay there?"

Amber's disembodied voice filled the room. "That actually felt really good slicing right through my nnnnnnnii-...oooooooohhhhh..."

A bubbling melty noise suffused the room, and with one last sigh, every Amber cube splooshed into a little puddle.

Jess rolled her eyes. "Geez, you too? I mean...I guess that did look intense."

She wound up her arms, and spun into a stretchy brown and purple vortex to get pulled into the game.

Jess checked her watch, then stood up and cracked her neck. "Fine, I'll get her. We're already late."

* * *

After launching herself across the chasm, Scarlett launched herself up a nearby mountain. There she gathered lots of resources, and began plotting her next move.

"Okay, I have 100 apples for the forest spirits, 20 bundles of wood, 5 diamonds, and 70 chicken drumsticks...I think I have everything I need now. Time to fly down into that gorgeous sunset and get back to town."

She looked out across the horizon. She got out the game's pocket glider, and jumped.

The wind rushed through her long red hair, blowing it behind her as she flew on her sight seeing flight. "Aaaah...the views in this game are always so good. And the sun looks great...oh, I forget what's supposed to come out at night here. Maybe it's that special horse, or one of the weird elk things, or..."

A distant "Raaaar!" echoed in the distance behind her.

Scarlett's blue eyes lit up. "Oooooo! Maybe I can get a dragon scale tonight! I've gotta slow down!"

Scarlett pulled back on on her glider to slow down, hoping she was hearing things right.

Soon enough, a huge purple dragon was snaking through the sky along side her. A huge scaly reptilian head with tufts of dark and strangely familiar purplish-pink hair bobbed up and down in the sky besides her.

"Oooooh I don't recognize this one! Maybe it's some new DLC? Ah well."

Scarlett reached back, slowing into bullet time and drawing her bow and arrow. She nocked an arrow, and took aim.

"Time to grab a new shiny scale! I bet I can sell it for a ton of new gems and-"

The dragon's big purple eyes turned to her, and opened its mouth.

Which made Scarlett open her eyes in terror, staring into the maw of the beast. "Wait, the dragons in this game don't actually attack. And how is it moving while I'm-"

*BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGH*
*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

Purple flames exploded from the dragon's mouth at Scarlett's face. Everything above her waist was engulfed, vanishing from view except for her surprised blue eyes.

When it stopped, she felt a lot lighter. Scarlett looked down, and saw most of her body was charred completely black. She was normal from the hips down, though that was little comfort.

"Uuuuh...I think I need a drink..."

Scarlett felt the freeing sensation of her arms breaking apart, crumbling into a black cloud of dust. The rest of her upper body fell to ash, leaving only her eyes and her butt and legs floating along.

"Meep..."

Her legs and eyes plummeted to the ground after that, falling the full distance to the ground before

*SLAAAAAAAAAAM*
*SQUIIIIISH*

Scarlett's legs collapsed into a large butt pancake. Her hips twitched twice, then her eyes slammed down, painting two large white circles with small blue irises on her cheeks.

"Uuuugh..."

Her body poofed into pixelated smoke, leaving the purple dragon to fly into the sunset.

* * *

By the time the console spat out the giant brown shorts and flattened butt that was Scarlett, Amber had mostly gelled together. She had restored as far as a big pink piddle with her upper body sticking out of it.

Letting her lose cohesion all over again when she got to see Scarlett's half in thick floppy cheeks. "Oh my goodness this is adorable!"

Amber grabbed Scarlett's butt, found the eyes, and started trying to shake her back to normal. It was no use for the moment though, Scarlett's eyes were two big blue Xs.

Realizing it was hopeless for now, Amber gathered up her Scarlett sheet to squeeze it. "Ah well. I'm sure we'll figure out something fun for you soon. Now, where's Jess..."

Purple electric arcs surrounded the game slot, then a long purple dragon flew out. It grew larger as it flew away from the console, not unlike a genie coming out its lamp, circling the ceiling before coiling into a pile on the floor where it sort of gooped together, and Jess emerged.

Amber, still half puddle, raised an eyebrow at her. "Wait...I thought dragons didn't attack in this game?"

Jess shrugged. "Dragons cheat?"

Amber squinted harder at her.

Jess raised a finger to her lips, as if shushing her. "Not a word about it. Now pull her into that puddle so I can put you both in a bottle for the party."

"Oooo!" Amber slammed the Scarlett sheet down on her pink goop, splattering it into Scarlett's pale skin color. Amber kept pushing, letting her own body fall apart on top of it, spreading into a gooey mess of yellows and her own skin tone.

Jess saw the two love birds giggling and swirling together, and went to get a bottle. It was going to be a fun night.
