"Don't you have anything better to do?" Angela asked in firm and exasperated tone.
All three workers simultaneously flinched and turned to the imposing woman who seemed to tower above them.
"How does she sneak around in those heels?" Jaclyn whispered to Joey. Joey simply responded with a shush, not wanting to make things worse for them.
Angela deftly pushed her red, pointed glasses further up her sharp nose and tutted. "You know," she started, "we're paying you to file the paperwork, not to fold it into silly shapes." She tilted her head to the side, the momentum of the tilt causing her hair bun to bounce. "I just thought I would let you all know, since, according to your recent performance, you don't seem to have a good grasp on what this job entails."
A woman from a nearby cubicle chuckled at the burn for a split second before Angela shot her a look to silence her.
"Now, unless you three would like your paychecks to reflect how much work you actually do, I would suggest you at least try to make it look like you're doing something productive." Without giving the accused a chance to defend themselves, Angela went back to her office.
Johanna, Joey, and Jaclyn gave each other nervous looks in a prolonged awkward silence.
"Well that one wasn't so bad compared to the last one," Jaclyn said.
Joey replied, his voice wavering, "Yeah, but what if she really meant it this time? I don't wanna get my pay reduced!" Joey looked back to make sure that Angela still wasn't within earshot or sight. He worriedly ran his hand through his short brown hair and adjusted the tie hanging over his dress shirt, two nervous ticks that he could never shake.
"Don't worry Joey, Angela's just a big bully," Jaclyn responded, "I just wish there was a way to get back at her for being so damn strict all the time! I've been working for the past 5 hours, and of course the minute I chat with you for a bit is the only minute she notices! I just hate how there's no way to get back at her!" Jaclyn folded her arms and pouted. Her red lipstick was highlighted by her pout, causing her lips to pop out of her long face just as much as her bright blue eyes and her auburn hair.
"Actually..." Johanna said, the normally soft and welcoming features of her round face twisting into a devious smile, "I thought of a killer prank that we could pull on her-"
"No no no no no no! Are you kidding? We can't do that!" Joey was quick to shoot down her idea. "No way I'm risking something like that!"
"Yes yes yes yes yes!" Jaclyn countered. "C'mon Joey, you know she has it coming. Lay down the plan, Jo! You can just keep watch, Jumpy!" Jaclyn and Johanna giggled as Joey resigned himself to his role as watchdog, knowing fully well that his accomplices could not be reasoned with.
Johanna explained her plot, "OK, so you know those pills that can increase your mass in certain places? Well, I've got some of those that are supposed to make your butt huge. I say we mash up some pills, put them in her coffee, then watch as her butt gets huge! She'll have to walk around for the rest of the day with her huge ass stuck in that tight little blouse she wears! It'll be hilarious!"
"Hmmmm... I love it!" Jaclyn exclaimed, then covered her mouth, remembering that this was supposed to be a secret operation.
"I don't know..." Joey looked back down at his friends to voice his concern.
"Oh, if you're going to be such a worrywart then just Jaclyn and I will do it," Johanna said.
Joey still looked concerned, thought slightly assuaged. "Well... I guess if you're really, really sneaky about it..."
"Don't worry, we will be!" Jaclyn said before she and Johanna slunk out of their chairs and into a position from which they could watch to see when Angela left her office.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angela plopped down into her comfy swiveling chair.
"Ugh, what am I gonna do with those three? I've warned them about this so many times. Am I actually going to have to lower their pay in order to get them to listen?" She often thought out loud in this manner. She figured it just came with being a loner, something that she was working on not being. She checked her online dating profile and saw that she had no new suitors, not realizing that she was using a site that hardly anyone had used since 2007. Sighing, she looked at the uncharacteristically spontaneous purchase she had made last night.
The bottle was labeled Expando-Cream, a name that she would have outright rejected if she were in charge of the marketing for this particular product. Its packaging guaranteed extra male attention by "increasing one's assets."
"Angela, what the hell were you thinking?" she said aloud as she picked up the bottle and looked aimlessly at the directions on the label. The question posed to herself was rhetorical. She had decided a few days ago that she would work to be more spontaneous and fun, which led to the odd purchase.
"You know what? If I'm going to start with all this spontaneous crap, I might as well start now!" With resolve, she took a pill out of the bottle, popped it in her mouth, and swallowed. She reread the label on the bottom, making sure she didn't mess up somehow.
"Alright... Only one pill for an entire week... Effects should start within hours, good thing we'll be going home soon... Make sure to wear loose clothing... Oh, and in big red letters, do not mix with any other expansion medication. Huh, well, there's no danger of that!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angela and the troublemaking trio of coworkers didn't interact again until closing time. Jaclyn, Johanna, and Joey had all just gotten into the elevator to descend from their office to leave work for the day. They looked back out of the elevator to see Angela briskly walking towards them.
"Hold the door!" She called out, waving her hand to signal them to stop.
Jaclyn's finger wavered over the 'close door' button on the elevator for a second before Joey nudged her and made room for their boss.
"Ah, thank you," Angela smiled at her subordinates in gratitude. Ever since taking those pills and having her coffee, she felt much more chipper than usual. It confused the other three passengers of the elevator; they had never seen Angela so happy before. She hardly had to say anything to give off her more positive vibe. As they wondered what made her so happy, they each snuck a glance at her posterior to see if it had grown at all. To their disappointment, they didn't notice any change.
"You know what?" Angela broke the awkward silence, "I'm sorry you guys. I realize that I've been really hard on you, and really, I think it's just because I've been a bit too stuck up, you know? Can you forgive me?"
Jaclyn, Johanna, and Joey stood in shock at what they just heard. Did Angela, their mean, up-tight boss, just apologize to them? And after they were slacking off? Their shock quickly turned to guilt as they remembered the mean prank that they tried, if unsuccessfully, to pull on her. They stood silent for a moment before Jaclyn spoke up.
"Oh, it's no big deal Angela. I mean, I guess we can be kind of difficult some times..." Johanna and Joey nodded in agreement.
"Oh good, I'm happy to hear it!" Angela replied with a smile, "I'm so happy to see that we can all work closely together!" Angela threw her hands up in the air with this declaration. This motion was accompanied by the sound of something plastic hitting something metal and a burst of movement from her chest.
All four passengers looked down at Angela's chest, only for two more buttons of her suit's shirt to pop off. Angela blushed deeply, instantly realizing that there was no way she could think of a way to hide the elephant in the room. No one had to say a word for everyone to realize that Angela's boobs had tripled in size within her clothes and had just now gotten so big that they could not be contained by mere buttons. Angela's bra only covered up to about halfway up the nipple of each breast; everyone could tell because the white shirt she wore under her suit's shirt was fairly see through.
Angela glanced behind her at the elevator's painfully slow progress down the building and began to rapidly tap the button for floor one. She turned around and rapidly spoke to the others, trying to save face, "Oh, haha, silly suits, you know how they are, so finicky, ha, ha, come on you stupid elevator, it's so funny how these things happen, ha, well, see you at work tomorrow, COME ON!"
All while this was happening, her breasts continued to grow, and the three coworkers continued to watch them do so. Jaclyn leaned over to Johanna and whispered, "Hey, weren't those pills supposed to make her ass big?"
As if on cue, a loud ripping noise filled the elevator. The three friends saw that Angela's pants had ripped, revealing Angela's ass in a pair of pink panties. It took Angela a second to realize what had happened. When she did, she let out a horrified shriek of embarrassment. She then tapped the elevator's button twice as fast and twice as hard, focusing only on getting away from this situation as quickly as possible. Johanna was just about to come up to Angela and comfort her when the lights of the elevator suddenly flickered, accompanied by a stereotypical 'powering down' sound.
"Uh oh..." Jaclyn said.
"I think the elevator died..." Joey added.
"Um, are you alright, Angela?" Johanna looked down from the now dimmed lights of the elevator and back to her panicking boss. Angela's boobs had gotten to be about six times as large as normal, and didn't show signs of stopping. Her butt continued to expand outward as well. In fact, the rest of her body seemed to be getting larger as well.
Angela tried to cover her nudity with her arms while defending herself, "Oh, uh, I think maybe, there's, um... Something in the water?" Angela was a bad liar. Angela's bra was completely failing it's job at this point, leaving only Angela's thin undershirt between her ever-growing boobs and the outside world. As Johanna took off her own jacket in an effort to help Angela, even Angela's undershirt had had enough and ripped, revealing her now massive breasts to everyone in the elevator. Angela couldn't think of a single thing to say at this point. Jaclyn and Johanna just gave each other awkward glances, and Joey's eyes remained fixed on Angela's increasing body mass.
After another minute had passed in the elevator, things were started to get crowded. Angela's body was still growing bigger. She was now about one and a half times as tall as before, and her breasts touched the ground without her having to bend over. Her butt was almost as large as her breasts. At this point, everyone else had to sidle along the perimeter of the elevator to move anywhere.
"Here, let me get to the door so that if it opens part way or something I can call out for help," Johanna said. She really just wanted to be by the door to be the last one out of this crazy situation, but she would at least pretend to be useful.
"Oh... O-of course." Angela timidly responded by scooting a few inches forward to make room for Johanna. Johanna started to regret her decision once she realized how close she would be to Angela's huge ass, which had succeeded in ripping through her pants.
Jaclyn opted to move to a corner of the elevator. "Yeah, I'll just stay back here for now..." She wanted to make as little physical contact with Angela as possible, so she literally backed herself into a corner of the elevator, hoping to get away from the still expanding woman.
Joey, hypnotized by the spectacle before him, merely took a few zombie-like steps backwards away from the approaching breasts until his back was to the elevator's wall.
Another minute or two of waiting later and the elevator's passenger's where starting to feel pressured both by the urgency of the situation and by Angela's still expanding body. Her boobs and booty still expanded faster than the rest of her, resulting in them being three times the size of the rest of her body, which was now twice as tall as before.
"I'm so, so, so sorry about this you guys, I should have never taken those pills..." Angela said regretfully.
"Don't worry about it." Johanna said, only partially sincere. If her body wasn't sandwiched between one of Angela's ass cheeks and the doors to the elevator, she probably would have been fully sincere, but at the moment it was hard for her to not be just a bit resentful. As she felt the pressure on her body increase, she was at least grateful that she had wound up with her front pressed up against the door and not the other way around.
"Um, yeah, could you, like, make an effort to stop some time soon? If you don't mind?" Jaclyn called out desperately. She had pressed herself up against the corner as much as she possibly could before she was inevitably touched by the growing mass of woman encroaching on her personal space. Jaclyn had brought her arms up to her chest in self defense, but they were now pinned to her by Angela's body, just like the rest of Jaclyn's body was pinned between Angela's and the corner of the elevator.
Angela made an effort to do something, but she had no idea how she could stop what was happening. "Sorry Jaclyn, I really don't think I can do anything!" Angela called back. Jaclyn simply whimpered as Angela's flesh came within inches of her face. "What about you, Joey? Are you ok?" Angela asked.
Joey, at least, was looking at the bright side of things. Being as timid as he was, he rarely had physical contact with women, so getting completely engulfed by an attractive lady's breasts really wasn't the worst thing in the world for him. He had pretty much just let Angela's breasts cover the entirety of his front side, allowing their soft, warm squishiness to overtake his senses. At first, his only concern was the thought that any of the women in the elevator would find out that he was actually starting to get off on this. However, as Angela grew even more, his main concern began to be the fact that he started to feel his own body squishing more than the giant boobs he had buried himself in. As it turns out, Jaclyn and Johanna began to have very similar concerns shortly afterwards.
Angela began to feel even worse for the others as she felt her body start to cover every inch of the walls of the elevator, as well as every inch of the others. Despite her newfound height giving her a better view than ever, she couldn't see anyone else due to them being completely covered. She wondered how they all must be feeling between herself and the elevator's cold, hard walls.
Johanna, who was now regretting her decision to spike Angela's drink more than ever, tried to call out for help one last time before one of Angela's massive ass cheeks blocked out what remained of her vision. Unfortunately for her, nothing could stop her from being engulfed by Angela at this point. Johanna desperately thought that the pill was sure to wear off soon, but the ever increasing pressure on her back was a clear indication that her ordeal was far from over. She could feel her front side get pressed further and further into the hard elevator doors by the second as the warm firmness of the gigantic booty pushed into her own backside. Johanna turned her face to the side in order to try to shield it, but this just resulted in half of her face getting crushed against the metal door and the other half of her face getting crushed against Angela. A few seconds later, and not a single square inch of Johanna's body was not in contact with something. Despite knowing that it was now pointless, Johanna tried to say something else, but the way that her cheeks had been squished by her situation made it impossible to do anything but mumble faintly.
Johanna couldn't move a single muscle at this point; Angela was still expanding at this point, and there was only one way for Johanna's body to go. Feeling the pressure seem to increase exponentially, Johanna sarcastically thought to herself that she must be flattening out at this point. She scoffed at the notion at first before realizing that, given the situation and the intense feeling of being pressed, she probably was actually getting flattened. Johanna was correct in her assessment. Every second, Johanna's back was pushed closer to her front, reducing her thickness from that of a full grown woman to the thickness of a mouse pad before she could even fully grasp what was happening. It reminded her of the time she built a pillow fort and all the pillows collapsed on top of her while she was in it, only the feeling was many times more intense. Johanna, now paper thin, thought that the situation couldn't get much worse at this point. However, the pressure continued to build, and the feeling of being flattened out was compounded by a second feeling. At first, she thought that the door was sliding open, but soon she realized that it wasn't the door that was sliding, but herself.
Since her body had apparently gotten as flat as it could possibly be, her body mass had no where to go but outward. Like a glob of peanut butter between two pieces of bread, her body spread out from the pressure, slowly but surely sliding across both the elevator door and Angela's posterior. Johanna could feel herself getting wider and even thinner as her body smeared out along the two surfaces that she was sandwiched in between. No one could see it, but it looked like someone had painted a clay figure of her and then smashed it between their two hands. As Johanna continue to become a human smear, Jaclyn was dealing with a similar yet different problem.
Jaclyn let out a pathetic whimper as the last of her vision was blocked out by Angela's mass. It pushed further into her corner, deeper and deeper into its recesses. Jaclyn tried with all her might to push against her impending fate using her thin arms, but not even the strongest of weightlifters could have stopped the inevitable. For Jaclyn, the warm firmness of Angela's body covered the front of her body, and was soon pressing into her with the same amount of pressure as it was for Johanna. However, Jaclyn, having scrunched herself up into the corner of the elevator, did not have the luxury of having much room to spread out. Jaclyn merely winced as Angela's body pushed her more and more into the corner, until Jaclyn thought that her own body must be squishing to mold into the corner. Then, Jaclyn realized that her body actually was molding into the corner.
If Jaclyn had been removed from the situation at this point, her body would resemble more of a triangular prism than a person. Her body mass, having no where to go, was being squished up against the corner of the elevator, causing her back side to be molded into a triangular shape and her front side to be pressed smooth and flat. As her pressing continued, she did begin to spread out, but unlike Johanna who spread out in all directions, the only place for Jaclyn's body to spread was upward. A few seconds after Jaclyn realized that she was being squashed like a cartoon character, she felt the top of her stretched out body touch the ceiling.
Sadly for Jaclyn, there was now no where else for her body to go. Left where no where else to spread, Jaclyn was squeezed further and further into the corner and her own body by the growing mass of Angela. People would often comment on how Jaclyn was as thin as a twig, but now that comparison was never so apt. As Jaclyn felt the tightness grow more and more, her body got thinner and thinner, going from the dimension of a rope to that of a shoe lace, and then even tighter. It seemed that the laws of cartoon physics had finally had enough fun with Jaclyn once she was nearly thin enough to be used as dental floss. Reduced to just a multicolored piece of string, poor Jaclyn could hardly focus on anything but how monumentally cramped she now felt. The feeling blocked out most other senses, and in a weird way it was oddly meditative, despite the incredible pressure she was feeling. She briefly pondered how close together the molecules of her body must have been for a 5'11" tall woman to fit in a space that not even a fly could squeeze through, but then her coherent thoughts were once again overwhelmed by the sensations she was experiencing.
The third of the mischievous coworkers was not having nearly as hard of a time as his female compatriots. In fact, one could say that his time was literally less hard. Instead of backing up against the solid boundaries of the elevator, he let his lower head do the thinking and made his way toward the massive mammaries that laid before him. His libido directed him towards the giant gap that was Angela's cleavage. He reached forward and grasped Angela's right boob, then her left, then her right again in an effort to drag himself in. His feet moved along as well to carry him further into the squishy recesses of Angela's body. As he made his way deeper into the cleavage, he felt himself get covered by more and more soft warmth. Soon enough, his entire body was engulfed by the giant breasts, and he found that he couldn't be more content. He was so content, in fact, that he didn't notice that he, like his coworkers, was being squeezed impossibly thin as well.
Joey's squishing was the most gentle of the three office workers. The softness of Angela's boobs combined with the sexual satisfaction made it so that he could hardly register that he was being flattened in between them. Before he knew it, Joey was completely immobilized and only about as thin as a wafer. To add to this, Angela's body heat was more intense for him than it was for Jaclyn and Johanna, since he was completely surrounded. It was stifling, but oddly relaxing to him, like a sauna who's heat was turned up to the maximum setting. He could care less about all of that though; the feelings of being squashed and bathed in heat were nothing compared to the intense pleasure of such intimacy with a woman. Though he would never admit it to anyone lest the word got out, he had developed a bit of a crush for Angela, despite her cold demeanor. In fact, her cold demeanor was one of the things that made him think about her nightly. Joey's taste in women combined with his personality resulted in him not even going out on a date in a long time, so this scenario, however strange it was, was really a godsend for him.
In the meantime, even Angela was running out of room in the cramped confines of the elevator. She had grown so tall that she had had to bend over to fit inside long ago, and was now staring at her own boobs, now merely inches away from her face and steadily approaching. She could feel her subordinates against her body. She could tell that Joey was rustling around in her cleavage, but she just thought that he was trying to find a way out rather than take advantage of a strange situation. She also felt the warmth of Johanna on her backside. Noticing how Johanna's body heat went from being in a small area to a larger area, she figured that poor Johanna must have been spread out along her posterior by the pressure. And as for Jaclyn, well, she couldn't feel Jaclyn any more, but she did feel how Jaclyn seemed to get more and more reduced in size.
Angela felt as though she had to try to apologize one last time before her mouth was covered up by her own body. "S-sorry again for all of this..." Her tough exterior couldn't be maintained in the face of what was occurring. "I-I really had no idea this would happen. I just wanted to have a night of fun out on the town... You know what? To make it up for you, I'm going to raise all of your pays!" Angela at least pretended she heard tiny whimpers of joy from where her coworkers had been stuck. "Actually, I'm not sure corporate would allow- mmph!"
And with that, Angela finally got a real taste of what the others had been experiencing. That taste being the taste of her own body. She got a mouthful of her own boob, then spit it out and closed her mouth before it expanded right back in. Though she was feeling pretty cramped up before, now that she was unable to protect her face the feeling really set in. About half a minute of thinking about how things could have turned out like this, and Angela was finally occupying just about every bit of space inside the elevator.
Surely, Angela thought to herself, At this point, it HAS to be almost done. There's no way I can grow any more. The fates did not take kindly to Angela's tempting of them. Despite there being no room left in the elevator for her to grow, Angela's body continued to expand. This resulted in Angela getting more compressed with each second that passed. It was like she was stuck inside a school locker and she was involuntarily pushing harder and harder to get out of it, but making absolutely zero progress. After what seemed like hours of expanding, she finally stopped. It took her a few minutes to notice, but when she did, she breathed a sigh of relief. Mentally, of course, she didn't actually have room to breath at this point.
All four elevator passengers were in a sorry state at this point. Joey, still sandwiched between Angela's breasts, was in the best shape mentally. He had been crushed so much by the pressure of the boobies that the only coherent thoughts he could muster were of the two objects of his desire that were constraining his body. The boobs had reduced Joey to look more like paste than a person, the heat having melted him and the pressing having spread him out across most of the area between Angela's boobs. Still, he couldn't really care less at this point.
Johanna was also feeling the pressure, but she didn't appreciate it nearly as much as Joey. Her body had been smeared across the entirety of the door of the elevator, evoking the look of some sort of abstract painting. Her face was all mashed up to be about three times as tall and wide as it normally was, as well as about 1,000 times less thick. The rest of her body had been spread across the metaphorical canvas in a similar fashion. All of her defining feature were distorted from being spread so unevenly, with many of them blending together into what seemed like pastel colors. Given the space, she likely would have spread out along all four walls of the elevator, but as it were, her body was unable to spread out past the indentation between the door and the walls. Because of this, she was pressed even thinner than what many flattening experts of the times thought possible. If not for the fact that Angela was on the other side of her, then one could even partially see through Johanna at this point. Needless to say, she could feel every crushed inch of her own body.
Jaclyn was feeling similarly pressured by her current situation. Though her body shape hadn't changed much in the past few minutes after having reached critical compression, she still felt like the crushing force on her was growing. Maybe it was all in her head from being not the most patient person in the first place, but she was really starting to wonder when she was going to be able to go home after all of this. At least, she wondered that when she gathered up enough mental fortitude to actually think about her situation and instead of just experiencing it. Jaclyn's now floss-like body and mind was not very conducive to long periods of thought, so she just took in her surroundings to the best of her abilities. Oddly enough, if it weren't for the absurdity of the situation, Jaclyn would almost say that she liked it in a weird way.
As for the one who everyone else had been unwillingly pinned by, Angela was feeling incredibly squished herself. Her body had expanded to the point where, if left in the open, she would have been about thirty times bigger than she normally was. However, due to the elevator, this was clearly not the case. As Angela tried to get a sense of what was going on, she realized that every single part of her body was in contact with something, whether that something was one of her coworkers, the elevator, or another part of her body. Of course, it was hard for her to focus with how enormous the pressure on her was. She tried to squirm but found that there wasn't an inch for her to go. It was like if she was normal-sized and had been stuffed into a small pill bottle. It seemed that all she could do at this point was wait things out. Trying to forget about her worries, she let the sensations of being so tightly packed overwhelm her, and she soon fell unconscious in a strange sort of sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There, that should do it!" Jill called out to her fellow elevator repairer.
The elevator hummed to life as Jill beamed at her scruffy old janitor friend, Ellis.
Ellis congratulated Jill, "Welp, my work here is done. Good job kiddo." He walked away to get back to work, before hearing Jill call back to him.
"Ummmm... Ellis? Something's... Odd..." Jill said, at a loss for words.
Ellis turned back to look into the elevator. Instead of the inside of an elevator, like one would expect to see, he saw a very, very distorted image of the front side of an attracted young woman. It was like someone had painted a perfect, beautiful painting of a lady, but then took there hand and smeared it everywhere before the paint dried.
"Welp. I reckon you don't see that every day," Ellis said nonchalantly.
Jill tepidly poked the mass inside the elevator, causing Johanna to blush with embarrassment. "Ewwww, it's all squishy! What the hell happened?"
"Hmm, well, if I had to guess, I reckon it was some of them expandy pills that the ladies are takin'. I hear tell that if you take two different kinds, this kinda thing's bound to happen. Eeyup," Ellis explained as though this were an every day occurrence.
"So... What should we do?" Jill continued to poke and prod the incredibly thin woman at the front of the elevator, and, by extension, Angela's body. Angela managed to let out a moan, which caused Jill to jump back in surprise.
"I hear that them there side effects wear off after a little while. Whoever's in there'll prob'ly just stay all squished up like they likely are until we come back, an' I imagine the big one'll still be in a cube-like state when she finally shrinks down. We'll just come back tomorrow and fix 'em up."
Jill looked from Ellis back at the elevator of squished souls. "What about this one on the front? We could probably peel her off before we head home."
Ellis looked at his watch. "Eh." He let out a grunt and resumed his walk to the supply cabinet to put his stuff away for the day.
Jill chuckled at her aging friend, then looked back at the mashed up woman blocking the elevator door. "Don't worry folks, we'll get you all peeled off and fixed up tomorrow. Hopefully that stuff has worn off by then! Here, let me give you some privacy." Jill tried to close the elevator door, but found that it wouldn't shut due to Angela bulging out slightly to fill up the extra space. Jill shrugged and addressed the current residents of the elevator, "Ha, sorry about that. At least your coworkers will get a kick out of you when they see you all tomorrow! Anyway, nighty night!"
Jill walked away, leaving the mess of crushed coworkers to themselves for the night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so, both Ellis and Jill's predictions came true. By the time morning came, Angela had shrunken. However, she still retained her shape. When the early birds of the office entered the building and looked in the elevator, they found a small cube of Angela, only inches on each side, sitting in the middle of the elevator. There was really no way for them to tell that it was Angela at this point, since it was just a small, uniformly colored skin-tone cube. They also found Johanna, crumpled up into a heap of herself at the entrance of the elevator, still thinner than one ply toilet paper. Jaclyn wasn't even noticed at first, laying in a small pile of herself in the corner of the elevator, still as stringy as before. There was no trace of Joey, however; this was because Joey was still between Angela's boobs. He had been squished into Angela as she shrunk, meaning that he managed to become the most tightly compressed of all of them. He still didn't mind. He had boobies.
No one could make of what these strange objects were until Ellis and Jill came along to clean them up. Ellis picked up Johanna by the top of her head and rolled her up into a scroll with one hand while stuffing Angela into his pocket with the other. Meanwhile, Jill spooled Jaclyn around her finger in a playful way after almost overlooking her. After taking care of their normal janitorial duties, Jill and Ellis went to get the hapless victims restored.
After they got back to normal, things were much better around the office. Jaclyn, Johanna, and Joey admitted to trying to prank Angela, and, after some harsh words, Angela forgave them. Angela decided to lighten up around the office and in general, leading to her being much happier. Johanna became a harder worker in an effort to understand Angela more. Jaclyn got into yoga and meditation, causing her to be much more mellow. Most surprising of all, Joey managed to go on a date; and with Angela no less! He wound up crying, but the second date went much more smoothly.
Also it was Christmas. Merry Christmas. Or Xmas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Welp, that about sums that story up," Ellis sat back after the long recounting, smiling at cousins sitting before him.
"Uncle Ellis that story was shit!"
"Hey! Watch yer mouth!" Ellis said back.
"I don't think that actually happened."
"It didn't really have anything to do with Christmas until the end."
"It was also oddly sexual..."
Ellis got up in a huff. "That's the last time I tell you brats a story! Kids these days don't appreciate anything!"
Ellis proceeded to get wasted at the family Christmas party, and much holiday merriment was had.
