"I just can't believe I'm jealous of a girl who isn't even real, you know?"

    It was the seventh time that Lexi had gone on this tirade, and Alice wasn't keen on listening to her again.

    "It's just that he's on his computer, like, all day!  Why doesn't he ever pay attention to me?"

    Lexi's boyfriend, Nate, had cut his time on the computer by about ninety percent since dating Lexi.  Alice knew this because she and Nate used to hang out and play games all the time.  Now, it seemed that Nate was fixated on chasing the ever-unattainable goal of satisfying Lexi's need for attention.  And when Nate was absent from his new job of attention provider, the responsibility fell upon Alice to entertain her.

    "I just don't get that he always wants to watch those dumb cartoons with the girls with the big boobs.  What were they called again? Animaymays?"

    Alice rolled her eyes.  "It's anime."
    
    "Whatever.  I put up with his shows all the time, but he's always on the phone during mine.  I don't get it."

    It was probably because for everyone one episode of a show Nate wanted to watch, Lexi got to watch 12 episodes of one she liked.

    "And he still uses that gross old mouse pad with the cartoon girl on it!  Like, who does that?  Perverts, that's who!  I wonder who even got him that?"

    Lexi was talking about Nate's mouse pad.  It was one of those novelty things where the design looked like the back of an anime girl with the cushion being her butt sticking up.  Alice was the one who got it for Nate a few months back as a joke.  Alice and Nate loved talking about anime, so Alice thought it would be pretty funny to send him a mouse pad of his waifu at that time.  They laughed pretty hard about it.  She remembered him joking about how "they didn't even get her best side," since the girl in question was known for being more top heavy.

    Alice had been spacing out as she reminisced, but started listening again just as Lexi said, "-and so I pressed the power button on his computer while he was playing.  I mean, is some stupid 'ranked game' more important than my broken nail?  I mean, come on!"

    Alice's brow furrowed.  She knew that this madness must be put to an end.

    "Hey Lexi," Alice interrupted.

    "You agree, right?  He needs to cut out all the nerdy shit!"  Lexi was one of those people who liked to continue on her own point even when someone else tried to start a new topic.

    "You want Nate to pay more attention to you?" asked Alice.

    Lexi's interest was piqued.  "Yeah.  You got a plan or something?  Oh, you're like, a hacker or whatever, can you disable his games or something?"  

    Alice was bothered by the fact that Lexi assumed that anyone who was on the computer a lot was a hacker, but continued with her plan anyway.  "No.  Not hacking.  But I do have a plan.  It involves this ray gun thingy," said Alice, pulling out a ray gun thingy from her backpack.

    "Oh, what's that gonna do?  Give me some phero-things to make him more attracted to me when he smells them?  Is it like a love potion?  Will it make my boobs bigger?"

    "Proportionally, yes, but physically, no," Alice replied as she adjusted a few knobs on the ray gun.  She was so usually passive, but the way that Lexi had been trying to change Nate had been rubbing her the wrong way for a while now.  She had the ray gun in her backpack because she had been planning this for a while, but the past few hours with Lexi was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    "What's that supposed to mean?  You aren't making any sense," Lexi said with a pout.

    Alice responded with a "yeah whatever," not even attempting to sound interested at this point.  It felt good to not pretend to care.  Before Lexi could say another word, she shot her with a beam from the gun.

    Lexi yelped as the beam unexpectedly hit her, and the effect was instantaneous.  Lexi felt a tingling all over her body, then noticed how everything seem to grow taller before her.  Even Lexi was able to recognize that the beam was shrinking her.  After only a few seconds, Lexi wasn't even as tall as Alice's knee.

    "Hey, what gives?  How is Nate supposed to notice me if there's less of me, dummy?  I think you got a logic backwards there, buddy!  Hey, where are you going?"

    Alice had already left the room to proceed with her plan.  The less time she heard Lexi talk, the better.  She returned with a heavy box full of various objects.  She stood over Lexi's tiny body with the box, carefully positioning it over Lexi's head.

    Lexi simply stood under the box, berating Alice for what she took to be her stupidity.  "Hello?  Are you even listening?  How in the hell is this supposed to help me?  Like, how is anyone supposed to see me from down here, much less pay attention to me!  Hell, like this I probably couldn't even give him hea-"

    *SPLAT*

    After having positioned the box to her liking, Alice nonchalantly dropped it on Lexi.  Alice looked down at her handiwork and nodded.  Alice purposefully positioned the box so that Lexi's breasts would be the only part of her that wasn't squashed under the box, and the sight of Lexi's boobs poking out from beneath the box was confirmation that the plan had worked.  At this point, Lexi's boobs were the only visible part of her, the rest of her being obscured by the box.  Alice lifted the box to see what had become of the unsuspecting girl.

    The majority of Lexi's body was now compressed into a disc-like shape.  The surface of this disc was primary composed of the pancaked girl's face, which was now stuck in a state of surprise.  It seemed as though Lexi realized what was happening just a second too late.  Other than her face and her still fully 3D boobs, the only other notable feature of Lexi was the two bits of skin on either side of her face that were her shoulders.  

    "Huh.  Turned out better than expected."  Alice smirked at the sight of the constant pain in her ass reduced to such a pathetic state.  Alice grabbed a handful of Lexi's breasts, making sure that they felt ergonomically sound and to see if Lexi could change her face at all.  The groping elicited no change in expression, so Alice was fairly certain that Lexi was completely immobile at this point.  Alice was actually surprised that it went so well.  Lexi's face even made it look like she was an anime character saying something along the lines of "G-get your hands of my breasts, b-baka!"

    Alice giggled to herself, then proceeded to the next step in her plan.  Digging through her backpack, she pulled out a specially prepared makeup kit.  Alice dabbled in cosplay, so she knew her way around this stuff.  After about thirty minutes, Lexi was all done.

    After a tragic plot twist, the character on Nate's old mouse pad was no longer his current waifu.  Alice had been meaning to buy him a piece of merchandise featuring his latest favorite animated girl to help him get over the loss, but now she didn't have to buy anything.  After all, sitting in front of her was a replacement novelty mouse pad made from a picture of a girl at a convention who had been cosplaying as his new favorite.  At least, that's the story that she would tell Nate.  Alice had applied enough make up and body paint to Lexi to make Lexi look exactly like a real life rendition of Nate's latest animated spouse.  In fact, Lexi could hardly be recognized as Lexi at this point, just as Alice had hoped.

    "Congratulations Lexi, I think you're all finished!  Nate's going to be spending a lot more time with you..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Alice smiled as she watched Nate move his mouse back and forth across the surface of his latest gift.  They both had a good laugh about it when Alice handed it over, and Nate started using it right away, surprised that they made heated mouse pads.

    "You know," Alice said, "Lexi isn't going to like that new gift."  She grinned to herself.

    Nate frowned.  "Yeah, I guess not.  Honestly, I don't think it's going to work out between us.  She's just so controlling.  It's kinda sad, but I was thinking about breaking up with her the next time I see her."

    Alice stopped what she was doing for a second.

    "Oh sorry, maybe a shouldn't tell you about things like that..." Nate said.

    Alice collected herself, "No, it's fine!  I just... wish you had told me a bit sooner.  Oh well."
