TF (melting, steaming, evaporating)

Elizabeth clapped her hands. “Girls! Thanks for coming to the sorority pool party this Saturday afternoon. We’d like to extend a hand to our newest sister, Dakota!”

“Aw, you didn’t have to put this on for me,” said Dakota, tugging on her bikini bottoms.

“Actually, we didn’t. We do this every Saturday.”

“Oh.”

Elizabeth smiled at the group gathered around the sorority’s pool. The swimsuit-clad young women were chatting, drinking beer and sunbaking. It was pretty hot that afternoon, after all.

“Time for some fun!” she announced with a clap of her hands. “Gabrielle, bring the potions!”

A dark-haired woman went into the house, returning with a tray of small bottles. Several girls began to jump up and down excitedly at the sight.

“Now, who wants to join in the melting?”

“Me! Me! Me!”

Elizabeth cast her eye over the crowd. “Alexis, Charity, Jennifer … and, yes, Dakota.”

Dakota blinked. “Me? I didn’t have my hand up!”

“But you’re new here. You’ve got so much catching up to do! Or maybe … you don’t like melting?”

“Uh …”

“Because this sorority is known for its melting! Also its cheerleading and proficiency in general world knowledge.”

Gulp. “Nah, it’s fine. There’s nothing I’d rather be doing than melting.” Dakota took one of the bottles. She’d already been a puddle once before as part of her initiation test. She’d been cool with it - unlike her cousin Madison, who was no longer returning her texts or calls.

Alexis - or was it Charity? - held her bottle up. “C’mon ladies! Down the hatch!” She swiftly drank the contents, followed in short order by the others.

“Ooh! So toasty warm on a hot afternoon!” gasped Charity (Alexis?) with glee. And that’s when she began to melt.

At first it looked like there was a pink puddle forming under the girls’ feet. It rapidly became clear that was their feet. Followed closely by their legs, which fused together before joining the mess on the ground.

The woman next to Dakota - what was her name again? - was laughing. “I better take this off while I can!” she said, undoing her string bikini bottoms.

“But everyone will see your yoo-hoo!” Dakota said.

“What yoo-hoo?” the girl winked back. And it was true - her crotch had melted away, leaving her looking like a Barbie doll down there.

“Oops! Look what I did!” giggled Charity (or Alexis). She held up her bikini top. When she’d taken it off, she’d accidentally taken off her melting boobs with it. Laughing, she emptied the top out, her breasts falling into the puddle that was her lower half.

Dakota felt her arms fusing together with her body. She had no neck any more - none of them did. Her field of vision swung wildly as her eyes slid down her cheeks. She looked up - was she only a foot tall now? -

And then there were no more girls, just four pink puddles, steaming and bubbling.

Elizabeth led the cheers and applause.

“Now this will be fun!” she announced.

One of the puddles was bubbling more than the others. In fact, it seemed to be growing ever hotter, steaming away. As the steam grew, the puddle grew smaller until it shrank away to nothing as the former woman evaporated into the air, her atoms floating away.

Elizabeth clapped her hands. “Now girls, reform!”

The three puddles left grew taller until they changed back into women.

“Oh, that was so cool!” either Alexis or Charity said, hoisting a bottle of beer.

Dakota looked around. “Hey, weren’t there four of us?”

Elizabeth opened her eyes wide, looking as innocent as can be. “Four? I don’t think so. No, it was you, Alexis and Charity.”

“Really?” Dakota frowned. “Because I could have sworn there were four.”

“Well, what was her name?”

“Uh … I don’t know?” Hell, what had her name been???

“No, I think you’re mistaken,” Elizabeth smirked.

The evaporated molecules of Jennifer smirked too, in their own way. Nope, I don’t exist, she thought.

“But enough of that,” Elizabeth announced. “More melting!” She clapped her hands again. And right on cue, Alexis, Charity and Dakota began to form puddles again, much to their delight … or to two of them’s delight.

“Shouldn’t I have had to take a potion or something?” Dakota objected.

“That one you took is good for several melts.”

Now she tells me, Dakota thought as her navel floated away.

But hell, she was a sorority sister. It was worth it, right?

She was also a bubbling puddle.

Again, one of the puddles began to steam away, as another girl evaporated into nothingness.

And again Elizabeth ordered the girls to reform.

“Weren’t there three of us?”

“No, there was Alexis and you.”

“I’m Charity!”

“Of course you are.”

Dakota was thoroughly confused. But hey, she really could never tell Alexis and Charity apart. Maybe they really had been only one person all along?

All this melting was giving her a headache.

Elizabeth clapped her hands again. “More melting!”

And Dakota became a liquid again.

“How are you doing this???”

“You’ve got to know a lot of stuff when you lead a sorority.”

Two steaming puddles lay on the ground. Again one bubbled away. Charity giggled as she felt her puddle turn into steam, and she floated away to mingle with Alexis and Jennifer.

“Reform!”

Dakota felt her breasts and buttocks just to make sure they were still in place.

“Hey, now I know there’s something funny going on!” she cried. “I was definitely not the only person to melt.”

“Are you sure?” Elizabeth said seriously. “Maybe you should melt again to check.” And she clapped her hands.

Dakota found herself a puddle again. This time, though, something was different. This time she felt … hot.

She could feel her puddle begin to bubble. And then suddenly she wasn’t only on the ground - she was in the air too.

“Woah, this is weird!” she thought. “I’m in two places at once!” Increasingly, though, she was in the air.

“I’m steam!” she realised as she saw her small pink bubble boil away. And then she felt herself grow fainter and fainter as the steam evaporated.

Jeez, Elizabeth was right, she thought as she floated away. I don’t exist either …

“Nice trick,” Gabrielle said to Elizabeth. “Maybe you should bring them back.”

“Ah, let ‘em float around for a bit first,” Elizabeth replied. “You know how the girls like that. Don’t worry, I’ll make them reform before sunset. They’ve got cheerleader practise first thing tomorrow.”

“Dakota seemed so confused.”

“Yeah, it was so cute.” Elizabeth smirked. “I think that girl’s really gonna liven things up at the sorority.”
