Arriving home from work at the gym, Kristen threw off her shoes and socks and flopped over onto the couch on her side. Her red hair falling over her face. After a few minutes, she finally began to fall asleep when suddenly the front door swung open and Kristen’s sister Karen, now sporting blonde highlights in her hair, came in with a bunch of her friends. The group was talking so loudly, it was impossible for her to fall asleep. All she wanted was a short nap before heading back to her place.
They walked through the living room and sat down around the room in the chairs continuing to talk loudly. Kristen was about ready to to sit up and shout at her sister and her annoying friends when suddenly they all stopped talking and Karen said, “Hey Kristen, we’re all going to a party tonight, wanna come?” She thought that maybe this was her sister’s way of repaying her for wearing Kristen as a tank top for working out. Which maybe seem odd, but Kristen had accidentally fallen into one of her father’s new inventions and it had a drastic side effect. Her body could now be molded into almost any size and shape imaginable, at which point she would turn blue due the Blueium that had been in the machine and had mixed into her. That was when she found out that she could change her form fairly freely, but would get stuck if she got any sort of electric shock. But hearing her usually annoying sister invite her to a party was a shock of a whole different kind. Kristen propped herself up on the couch with a smile and looked at her sister and her friends. “We thought it would be cool to have you there.” Karen told her sister in an honest sounding tone.
Although her sister was younger than her, Kristen didn’t go to very many parties. “Umm, sure, I’d love to come!”
“Ok good! All I ask is a small favor…” Karen said as if she was some kind of mob boss. Kristen immediately dropped the smile and stared at her sister. She knew that ever since the accident her sister was going to take advantage of her new abilities and was sure this had something to do with them.
“Let me guess, you want me to be something for the party?” Kristen said glaring at her sister.
“Well the party is formal thing and you have nothing to wear, so I was going to make you into something that wouldn’t be noticed at a party.” Kristen then realized thather sister was actually trying to be nice when she offered for her to come along. She really did want to go to the party with them but had nothing even close to formal. And since the accident her dad had told her to make sure to “exercise” her abilities so she could get used to them and learn to control them better.
“Fine, but under two condition. I don’t want to be worn by you or one of your friends and you can’t just leave me sitting around, you have to carry me around. And did you tell your friends what happened to me?”
“Of course, it doesn’t need to be a secret Sis, the more people that know about it, then the more people that can use you if they need to. After all, I bet you could be really useful in a lot of situations, not to mention games.” Karen said.
“Well we’ll have to see about that.” Kristen replied. “So when is the party?”
“Its late tonight, but I had some things I wanted to test with you before then… which is also why my friends are here.” Right after Karen said that, her and all her friends stood up and walked over to the malleable girl. Kristen knew that this was not a good sign. Before she could react, Karen and all of her friends dog piled on top of Kristen, crushing her into the couch.
The all slid off the pile one at a time and as Karen, being the last to get off, moved aside, they all looked down. Each of them were speechless, except of course Karen, “See, I told you she was malleable now.” She said as she picked up the flat piece of blue material in the shape of her sister.
“So that’s really your sister?” one of the girls asked shyly.
“Yup, I told you she was like rubber now, she can be molded into any shape and we even have a machine to make her into complex stuff.”
Kristen finally oriented herself and looked at her sister who was easily holding her up with one hand. “You have to warn my before you flatten me! That’s what dad said. Especially since it still take me like 10 minutes to fix my body shape after you mess with it.”
“Oh, you’ll be fine Sis, stop over reacting. And since you want a warning, You’re about to become a lot more stretched out…” Just as Kristen said that, their dad walked through the front door and looked at his youngest daughter holding up a large blue thing in the shape of a girl.
“Looks like you all are having some fun, I heard about the party tonight. Just make sure to be careful and be home before 12, we’re taking a family trip to the beach tomorrow and I want us to be up early for it.” He then walked past the group of girls and headed into the basement most likely to work on his latest invention.
“Dad! Ugh… great, and what was that about stretching?” Kristen asked her sister a bit annoyed that again her dad didn’t care what Karen was doing to the rubber girl as long as they kept it safe.
“Oh, it’ll be fun, don’t worry, and I’ll actually be able to use this as a way to make you into something for the party, Hehe.” At this point, Kristen knew she wasn’t going to be able to get out of this situation since she promised to go to the party with her sister but not as herself, hopefully she would have an easier job that when she was the tank top.
Karen rolled Kristen up tight and stuck her under her arm walking into the kitchen. Then, Karen, with the help of her friends laid Kristen out flat on their parents huge marble countertop. Kristen tried to move in her flattened state but it was to no avail, as when she finally started to get her head up, Karen just set the toaster on top of it and pushed it back down again. Now only being able to hear, Kristen could make out the sounds of her sister rummaging though the drawers obviously looking for something.
When she could hear all the drawers close, Karen lifted the toaster off her head so the malleable blue girl could see her soon to be fate. Karen and two of the friends had rolling pins in there hands and another had a spatula. “Don’t look so worried sis,” Karen said even though she couldn’t see her sister’s face in the blue, she knew what she was thinking, “I’m not going to bake you, just make you a bit skinnier, you should thank me really…” Before Kristen could even get in a response they started working on her, pushing done hard with the rollers going up and down her body making her feel taller, skinnier, and worst of all, flatter all at the same time.
In just a few minutes they stopped with the rolling pins and backed away. She felt very odd now, like her body was only a few feet wide and like her head was now just two feet from her head. The girl with the spatula quickly went to work on one of her corners and had it pried up quick. Karen grabbed hold of it with one hand and pulled hard. SLLUURRPPPPP! He body come off the counter with the sound of rubber being silly putty being pulled off a wall.
“You should be just about the right size. . . Here Jenny, you were in girl scouts, can you tie her for me?” Karen handed the new shiny blue ribbon over to Jenny, who, before Kristen could even ask what she meant by tie, had pulled out a hair band and proceeded to tie Kristen around it in a neat bow. Jenny then handed it back over to Karen who took a second to look it over.
Kristen was now incredibly mad at her sister. Making her a pancake is on thing, but flattening her like that and then tying her in a bow just felt wrong, not to mention she couldn’t seem to speak with her body in such an odd shape. “You’re so shiny when I mash you up sis, its like your meant to be made into clothes!” Kristen just tried to ignore that comment and remember that all of this was so she would get to go to the party. Sure she wouldnt be able to meet anyone as a bow on a head band but it was better than sitting inside all night and after all, her dad did say she needed to practice her abilities, something Karen was glad to help with. She could especially tell by the way Karen was looking at her while holding her in her hands. “Oh, you’re the best sister ever, look how pretty you are! I cant wait to wear you, but first things first, we need to do our hair. And just for your protection…” Karen pulled out a small object that looked like a flashlight but was only the side of her thumb. “One of dad’s new inventions, to make sure you stay safe while you’re not you.” Kristen knew what was coming and closed her non existent eyes as lightning shot out of the device and into her. “There, now your just a bow till the end of the night, now stay here while we get ready!” Karen said tossing the hair band with its new bow onto the coffee table as her and her friends ran upstairs to get ready in her bathroom.
