Amy and Veronica found themselves at Devons place. She was starting to find herself interested in fashion design, but wanted to focus on garments for altered bodies.

"Here, how about now?" Devon had been working on a dress for Amy. Of course, it'd only work as long as she had nothing below her breasts.
"Oh my goodness." Amy looked at herself in the mirror. The dress was very, very short, but it was the perfect length for her body. It showed off just half an inch of skin peeking out from the bottom, the straps were like strings.
"You like it?" Amy did another twirl, pacing on her hands.
"Yeah! It's fantastic."

"Now... For you.."
"Me?" Veronica said with confusion.
Devon recrossed her legs - art-piece prosthetics clacking together - as she took out a piece of fabric that looked a bit like a bag.

Moments later, Veronica emerged from the changing room wearing a tight-fitted t-shirt of sorts. It didn't have a bottom, so it covered her underside.
"Quite sporty, wouldn't you say? Try these as well."
Veronica slipped into the white leather gloves. They were quite thick, and went almost to her elbow. There was some padding in the fingertips, probably to protect her better from sidewalks and gravel.

"I also have another piece for Amy!" Devon took out a rather interesting leather jacket. The back was longer than the sides.

"It's rather tight" Amy said after putting it on.
"Oh, that's perfectly normal. You're supposed to break it in. It should be fine if you have you legs and hips as well! And look, the long part in the back has a purpose."

Devon approached her, folded the back and motioned for Amy to rest on her bottom. "A personal sitting mat!"



"How about this?" Veronica was passed some leggings.
"But... I don't have any legs..."
"No no no! They're like... Armlings. Slide them on!"

Veronica tried them on, they were really just long gloves that hardly covered her palm or knuckles.
"You can wear them with a half-dress! It'd be like approximating to legged people."
"I think I'll try that."

Soon, Veronica was wearing the 'armlings', short gloves and the half-dress that Amy had worn prior. It really looked like a juxtaposition of full bodied fashion.

"Oh my gosh, if we got you some big sunglasses to go with that, you'd look faaabulous" Devon said, certain to emphasize the right vowels.

"So, Devon, how do you like removing your lower legs?"
"Oh, I'm surprised that no one has asked me about that 'till now. Having only one arm was quite dreadful. No shins though is quite smashing!" Amy and Veronica were quite delighted that she was getting something out of it, but a little perplexed by her usage of outdated slang.
"You keep those on all day?" Veronica asked, eyeing the stilts.
"Of course not! I usually take them off when I sit down."
"Have you thought about removing more?"
"Not really, I need to have enough of myself to wear my clothes. Though I do fancy exploring the possibilities, hence your current garments" Heavy on the 'gar'.



Hours later, Veronica and Amy were back at Veronica's place, they were laying on her bed, hold each others hands with their bottoms pointing to each other.

"Devon tires you out, doesn't she?" Amy asked, gently stroking Veronicas wrist.
"Mmm, yeah. I never expected her to ever have anything to do with us."

All that most people knew about Devon was that she came from a rich family and liked to dress creatively. Despite her apparent ostentatiousness, Amy and Veronica knew nothing about her prior to meeting her, they'd never had a class with her.

Suddenly, Veronica felt her exposed bottom brushing against Amys.
"Ohh, that feels nice." Really though, the skin that replaced their stomachs was maybe 10% more sensitive than usual.
"Hey," Amy whispered. "Lets change things up. I want to take care of you for once."
"I would like that."

They made their way to the bathroom and stripped down, where Amy explained what she'd like to do.

"Oh my gosh! It's so cold!" Amy remarked as she put herself back together. Her legs and pelvis had been in the bathroom for several days, and the window had been open as well.
"Here, get in!"

Veronica brought a small stool into the bath, and situated it so that the water would go just past her collarbones. Amy was drooped over so only her arms were submerged.

"Uoh!" Veronica shouted as she began to lose her ability to balance.
"Here! Ah!" Amy instinctively reached out for her, but her arms didn't respond, having already gone numb. Amy quickly jumped to the chair that was positioned near the bathtub, and balanced on her butt as she held onto Veronicas head with her feet, as the rest of her body fell limply into the water.
"Hehe, you saved me."

They sighed, relieved that no ones head had to be submerged.

"Gosh, this is really strange. I haven't been completely separated from my body like this before." Veronica said as she wiggled her neck.
"Don't worry. I'll do my best substitution." She brought Veronica down as set her down on the bathmat.
"You should do something about those, hehe." Veronica remarked about Amys limp appendages dangling from her shoulders. Amy smiled with the sides of her mouth.

She sat down next to Veronica in a butterfly stance, and swung one of her arms over to her feet, where she held onto her hand and pulled. Her arm came off with a deft pop. She did the same with her other arm.

Still nude, and happy that Veronicas parents weren't home, she sat on the edge of the tub and balanced carefully as she took out Veronicas arms and chest. She set them next to Veronica and separated the arms from them.

"Oh, I almost forgot about that." Veronica remarked, as she had remembered that she had to go armless at some point.
"Um, how do you usually do this?" Amy said as she looked down at all the various body parts.
"I usually take a big towel down and drag everything to my room."

With that, Amy yanked a towel down with her toe and spread it out before sitting back down and moving each piece on top of it. She then kneeled down and grabbed one end with her mouth, proceeding to walk carefully back to Veronicas room.

After a few minutes, she was back. Now though, she was wearing some girl boxers and a tank top that might have been a size too big.
"I think you might have taken my brothers tanktop by accident" Veronica giggled.
"Well, it's not like he's here, or that you can even wear it. Gosh, it's a good thing you tied your hair before getting in."
"Oh yea- Wait, what are you- Ah!" Veronica yelped as she found herself being lifted into the air. Amy had grabbed onto her by her ponytail with her mouth.

Amy brought Veronica over to her bed and set her down in the middle before getting on herself.
"Mmmm, your feet are so soft Amy, how do you do it?" Veronica said as Amy gently held her face with the soles of her feet, an occasional toe caressing her temples.
"Oh you know, moisturizer, soap, stuff like that."

Amy put the sides of her feet together, supporting Veronica as she leaned in and kissed her.
"Mmmm" Veronica loved the texture of Amy's lips, she could only squirm her neck stump in response.
"Oh my god oh my god" She continued to whisper as Amy started to tickle the corner of her termination point, her lower lip on the new skin, the upper lip on her neck.
"Is it nice?" Amy asked, coming up for air.
"It feels sooo nice. The numb and the not-numb at the same time makes it really unique! Ah!" Amy continued.

"Sigh" Amy verbalized. She gently held Veronica between her knees and brought her to her chest before rolling to her side. "You're such a cutie, you'd make such a great pet."
"I don't think I'd mind that" Veronica smiled.

Amy set her down on the pillow, laying on her side.

"I'm curious, can you move like that?" Amy asked.
"I can try."

If Veronica was still attached to her body, she'd simply be looking to the right, left, up and down, but since she wasn't anchored to any shoulders, her neck simply twisted and squirmed.
"Eeee, you look kinda wormy when you do that!"
"Hey, I think I might be getting it!"
Veronica, as if she were touching her ear to her shoulder, managed to position the flat part of her neck against the pillow, she then slowly straightened it, which resulted in her moving a few inches, and off of the pillow.

"Ah!"
"Hahaha, you only fell an inch 'Ron!"
"Relative to me, it was like 2 stories!" She exclaimed with relief.

Amy repositioned her so she laid back, and gently tapped along her face with her toes. She continued to do this until she fell asleep.



Veronica was awoken by the blaring alarm, she had forgotten to turn it off for the weekend, not that she was in much of a position to do so.

Amy slid off and out of the bed, still wearing the short-shorts and oversized t-shirt, and balanced on one leg as the other went almost vertical to deactivate the alarm, positioned on the top of Veronica's bookshelf.

"Morning" Veronica said, waggling her neck.
"Ah! I'm still not used to that. Not that I'll need to be, I have something set up for you!"

Amy took Veronica out of the room by her tied hair. It didn't hurt at all, as there wasn't enough weight to cause any pain, as well as the numerous fibres (hair) supporting her. Simple physics really.

"Oh my gosh Amy, is that yours?" Veronica reacted upon being placed down on her desk.
"No, it's yours!" It turned out that Amy had gotten up a little earlier and assembled Veronica's body - without arms - and positioned it sitting in her computer chair. It was wearing a nice, red, summery dress that ended a few inches before the knee.
"I... That must have cost you a lot of money!"
"Well, if you want to think of it like that, think of all the times you bought me coffee. Happy birthday!" She gasped, she had somehow forgotten her birthday. Veronica couldn't counter that.
"Thank you so much Amy! I really appreciate it."
"Try it on!"

Amy took Veronica and carefully set her down on her shoulders, causing her body to jerk slightly.

"Oh, the fabric feels amazing!"
Veronica stood up and twirled around, the straps of the dress emphasized her empty shoulders.
"So, what should I do about this?" Veronica asked, wiggling her shoulders.
"Simple, I'll teach you!"

Veronica had taken herself apart several times before, but she had always had her arms available in some way or another. It was of course, never that way for Amy; the month she spent armless meant she had adjusted to it completely.

"Lets try a few stretches." Amy said as Veronica sat across from her. "Try this."
She brought one foot on top of her knee, and bend down so she could touch her nose with her big toe. Veronica had done the same thing, but it was clear that she wasn't as flexible as Amy.

"Do you ever feel inconvenienced by not having arms?" Veronica asked.
"I don't, oddly enough. I've gotten so good at not having arms that there's no change in my quality of life." Amy answered, extending her foot out and flailing her toes. "It's easy for me to go without my arms, but I do feel odd when I do it" She casually brushed her hair behind her ear, bringing her foot all the way up to her ear.

They spent the next hour going over all of the things that Veronica would have to worry about. Washing hair, making food, writing (a nightmare at the moment), dressing; all of it seemed very challenging, and Veronica wasn't sure if she had the patience to wait for the naturalization to kick in.

Two hours after Amy left, Veronica had been left to her own devices. She had spent the last twenty minutes trying to write a two paragraph letter to her advisor. She was happy that she wasn't doing this at the end of the quarter.

She'd had it, Veronica needed a short cut of some sort. She walked over to her cellphone, and tapped in the number for the help line, then carefully holding the phone between her toes and leveraging her ankle on her bent knee. After a few minutes, someone answered her, and the voice was familiar.

"Hello?"
"Oh, is this Veronica? Hi dear!!" She was puzzled as to how she knew her name, actually, it was probably the order form.
"Um, yes. I have a question."
"Yes you do! This is a help line!"
"Uh, do you guys sell anything that will make me more flexible?"
"Why yes we do! Would you like me to send you one to your current address?"
"Yes please."
"Okay! Thanks for your call!" There was a sudden click. Veronica wasn't sure what to think.

The next day, Veronica woke up to the doorbell. She didn't bother dressing herself properly, just wearing the sleepwear that had taken 10 minutes to put on the night before.

"Hello, delivery. Please sign here." But as she raised her foot, the courier recoiled slightly. "Oh, sorry uh, a credit card would be fine too."
"Hold on a moment."

Veronica quickly returned with the card between her toes, she raised her leg and the courier quickly swiped it in a small device. The flexibility item - whatever it was - cost the same as the soap that she had been using.

"Well, here you go. Have a nice day." The courier set the box down, just inside of the door. It seemed clear that he wasn't used to armless recipients.

Veronica pushed the box with her foot, all the way to her bathroom. She came back with a knife in her teeth from the kitchen, and managed to take the packaging apart.

Ultimately, the flexibility-increaser was what she expected it to be; soap. Only rather than being purple in colour, it was green. She drained the bath, a filled it with clean water. As it filled, she put in the recommended amount, and read the label.

"For a mild increase in your flexibility, please sit in affected water for about 5 minutes, for a dramatic increase, try 10 minutes. At recommended doses, the effects should last 5 to 7 days at a time, and should start to fade noticeably in the last day. Repeated sittings may be needed to maintain desired flexibility. We don't recommend 20 minutes or more, and we don't take any responsibility for any negative effects potentially incurred."

Unfortunately, the only made Veronica extremely curious. Not today though, she wanted to be practical.

She quickly disrobed, using a suction hook placed on the wall. She'd position herself so that the hook would catch her shorts, then slowly stand up to remove them. She did something similar with her t-shirt.

Veronica turned the knob to stop the water as it reached a nice level; turning it was easy enough. She was soon sitting down, and only her head was poking out of the water.

Soon, the timer she'd set went off, as 10 minutes had passed. Veronica noticed that her legs and back in particular felt rather odd. Like they were extremely relaxed, as if she had gotten into bed after a long day.

She stood up - which happened faster than usual - and stepped out and onto the large bath mat.

"Whoa" She said aloud. She had intended her leg to just go far enough to step, but had instead kicked 90 degrees. Gaining large amounts of flexibility was something the body clearly wasn't used to.

She sat down on the mat with her knees to her chest. Immediately, there was something that she had always wanted to try. Veronica easily and effortlessly set her legs into a proper lotus position.

"Amy isn't the only one who can do it now."
