Zoe stood before another launch tower. It was her turn to be fired into the sky, but there was something specific she wanted to try today.

"Ready to be my balloon, dear Scarlett?"

The red head's knees buckled while her face turned bright red. "Yes already! If you don't hurry I'm going to melt just thinking about it!"

Zoe nodded, then held up a metal frame for a glider. "Excellent. Karen, are *you* ready to be my ride?"

The cute brunette nodded emphatically, signing her answer with her hands. [Yes! It will be fun to see everything while flying around!]

Zoe smiled, though the glint in Karen's eye told her she had some mischief in mind. Zoe scratched her chin for a moment, thinking. *What is she plotting...you know, never mind. I'm sure I'll like it.*

She lifted her hand, glowing blueish-green like Jessica's did the night before. "Okay, Karen first."

Scarlett stepped back, eyes locked on their sexy putty-girl friend.

Karen tilted her head with big eyes, curious about how this would work. [What? I thought I was going to twist myself around thatrekhkd]

Her sentence got lost when the light from Zoe's hand surrounded her. Karen got yoinked out of her clothes in a splash of flesh colored goo, spinning her malleable body into a ball of liquid putty. Karen's features spun together, gradually blurring into a uniform peach color.

Her big amber eyes blinked open, splashing on the surface after hovering for a moment, looking around for what happened next. She had a brief moment to enjoy wobbling in the air before Zoe summoned her over.

A thick band of Karen's mass stretched through the air to the frame. It stuck to the back corner with a wet *SHLAAAP* and wrapped around the rest. The floating ball of Karen got smaller as more of her stretched into fabric, surrounding the frame bit by bit, then wrapping back to the other side again. Her eyes finally shlurped over with the last bits of her, stretching from her center, twisting to wrap her around the device the long way.

The eerie glow poofed away in shards of green energy. Zoe's new V shaped glider had Karen's eyes with a toothy smile printed on the top, with redd-ish brown hints of her hair along the front. Two flesh toned handles ran underneath her for Zoe to hold, under a featureless underside.

Zoe flexed her new glider girl. "Awesome. You feeling okay Karen?"

The putty girl silently flexed and squirmed her new shape in response.

"I'll take that as a yes. Okay Scarlett, let's go."

The red head was staring at Zoe's gilder, eyes telescoped out at least a foot. She shook her head and jammed them back into place, then ran into the launch tower. Zoe reached into the item pouch and pulled out 4 small strange purple balloons. She tossed them all the Scarlett. She was squeezing them, making wet squishy noises.

"Hey! Don't squeeze them too hard, they're supposed to pop you, not the other way around."

"Oh, sorry!"

Zoe smiled and shook her head. She raised her hand and snapped, surrounding the area in a purple light. Scarlett and her balloons glowed and hovered above the ground, briefly, then got shunted underneath the launch platform. That was Zoe's cue to jump on.

"WHOA-OOOOMP!"
*POOMP*

The strange balloons all plugged into Scarlett's mouth, making her fall onto her tummy underneath. Then they blew.

Scarlett felt her body stretch immediately. Air puffed her cheeks, her eyes, then inflated her curves. She was billowing out fast, filling into a massive boob and butt balloon, quaking from the pressure. Scarlett struggled to maintain structural integrity, fighting her own urges to pop or melt down too soon.

"THIIIIIIIIIIS FEEEEEEELS GREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!!"
*FWOOOOMP*

Scarlett's body literally ballooned into a massive squished sphere shape with most of her features painted on. Her eyes were closed tight trying to hold herself together, but her blushing cheeks told everyone she was loving it. Her body forced its way into every corner of the room, growing even as her body groaned from the pressure inside. The few lights in the room showed just how rubbery and shiny her body became, still creaking and stretching under Zoe, but she was running out of room fast. She was bloating and mushrooming around the solid barriers above, making the platform under Zoe shake.

Letting the braided one know it was time. "See you in the sky Scarlett!"

She stomped down on the board, forcing Scarlett's body down, beyond her capacity to hold together.

"I'M GONNA---"
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Zoe got a brief look at her friend fluttering around as red and blue rubbery scraps as she shot into the sky. As usual, Scarlett's confetti trailed her ascent, before gathering into her hand and squishing into a small ball of red and blue semi-solid goop in mid-air.

"Mmmm..."

Zoe tucked Scarlett into her pouch. "Don't worry, you'll get to play more later, now..."

Once Zoe hit her apex, she whipped out her beautiful Karen glider. "Let's fly!"

Karen's glider shape unfurled above her, catching the wind. Zoe held the handles below, flying through the sky with her friends with the breeze in her hair.

"Isn't this great?"

Zoe's glider squirmed in her hands in response, tugging hard enough to be trying to get back down.

"Oh come on! We can see the mountains, the sea, all these big open fields, it beaut...what?"

Zoe looked up, and she was not holding a glider. She was floating along on her own, suspended only by her lack of looking down.

In front of her in the air was Karen, still in the shape of a giant glider. Her gentle bounce through the air paused, and a glob of skin colored Karen oozed out the bottom. Karen's upside-down top half formed from it, still a glider from "above" the waist, waving and winking at Zoe.

"*Sigh*...I really should have seen this coming..."
*PEW*

Zoe fell like a rock, not moving from her arms over her head position as the ground rushed up at her. She knew she was falling far too fast to do anything about it.

*SLAAAAAAAAM*
*SPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

An observer may have noticed Zoe's body squish for a fraction of a second on contact with the ground, looking like a dozen layers of Zoe dough piled on top of each other. It was hard enough that she immediately exploded into black ooze, completely liquefied by the force of impact. Zoe's black goop erupted from that point, splashing hundreds of feet around her and painting the open plains.

From her vantage point up above, Karen could see those splashes weren't exactly random. Stripes of Zoe black fit together into a huge pattern, forming a loose picture of Zoe smacking her butt with one hand to taunt Karen, and flipping her off with the other.

All of which had the intended effect of making Karen laugh hysterically. Even in painted form Zoe was a cutie, and to come up with that image in that situation was no small feat!

Karen either didn't see or didn't care that she was tumbling through the sky too at this point. It wasn't nearly as spectacular, but an explosion of Karen peach putty soon covered the side of a nearby mountain, dripping down the cliffs before gelling together in a giant heart shape.

They would have to try flying again later.
