Fusion frenzy!

"I've been thinking a lot," Luke said, as he pulled his hands out of Ivy's back, his orange gel popping back into place as Ivy stumbles forward, holding her chest for a minute as it snapped back to a smaller size. She frowned, seeming a little like she had been denied something she really enjoyed, but she patiently turned back to look at Luke. "About the first day that I was in Ivy. James, you were beyond pissed that I was getting inside your girlfriend before you."

Both James and Ivy rolled their eyes, groaning. "Yes, I remember Luke, I was there. You've only had to phrase it like that, what, a thousand times?"

Luke smirked. "Right, well. I was still thinking about it. And I had an epiphany that I confirmed when I absorbed you two to borrow some body parts. Here's the thing, contrary to what you might believe, I couldn't read Ivy's mind and she couldn't read mine in the headset configurations. Our thoughts were independent, they were just filtered into a single average output to create the mix. So I enjoyed the feeling of the mix and all, but I didn't know anything about Ivy's and your true feelings until I basically copied your entire body patterns, down to your brain map."

Ivy looked shocked by this. "Wait, you retained a copy of me inside you, brain and all? You know my memories and stuff..?"

With a nod, Luke sat on his bed. "I know everything, yeah. I don't think I could store a lot of bodies, maybe a dozen at most before I'd have to copy them again, but the signals are pretty clear when my slime builds micro-structures that I can use to augment my own mind briefly. It's kind of a neat trick, it's where the nanites--uh, I'll tell you later. What's important is, I took some deep looks into both your minds, and now I understand both of you, and I think I know how to do something that will make you both happy. As a thank you for helping me out, even when it was rocky or weird."

"So, what did you see from her, from me?" James asked, puzzled. Luke simply grinned wider when asked.

"I'm glad you asked. First, James, I understand the jealousy now! I'll just straight out say it: you've been curious about being a girl yourself. Having a girlfriend is one thing, but you'd wondered what it would be like to be a girl. I get it now, since it wasn't just that I was becoming your girlfriend, but I was becoming something you weren't. You do a pretty good job of hiding it, but I know better now."

James blushed furiously, turning away with a grimace. He didn't want to admit that it was true, so he remained quiet. But James had been more than curious about being a woman, and to see the double-whammy of losing his girlfriend to Luke's control and watching someone else live a dream of his...

Before Ivy could step over to ask James if all that was true, Luke held a hand up. "And you, Ivy. I thought us being mixed together was just my thrill of seeing a beautiful woman's body under my neck mixing with the confidence you got from that feedback from me. But now I know--you wanted the loss of control. Any control. Having me take direct charge over your body thrilled you, didn't it?"

Ivy was the next to blush furiously, sitting down on the bed in a huff, running a hand through her blonde hair. "So what if I liked it..." she said meekly. "I can't help it, something felt really good when you would take charge, making me act different."

"Good, so it's settled," Luke said, patting both James and Ivy on the shoulders.

"...what's settled?"

"This." Suddenly, Luke shifted orange, and his slime spread outward to once again grasp around both Ivy and James, pulling them into his central slimy location! The orange slime clouded up a bit, before Luke 'spat' one body back out onto the bed.

The resulting woman that lay on the bed remained sprawled out, dazed and confused for a good deal of time. That gave Luke enough time to admire his handiwork: a really stellar set of legs and ass, some shapely breasts that seemed to really jut out as the nipples stood at attention. Checking out her face, it was a clear mix of James's boyish charming features with Ivy's adorable expressiveness, but still clearly making a bright-eyed woman in the face. James's dirty blond locks seemed to mix with Ivy's lighter blonde, growing wavier as a result of James's hair's characteristics.

"What the..." the girl asked, sitting up a bit on the bed. She seemed confused, and looked down at herself--clearly not recognizing what she saw. "EeeeeeEEEEE LUKE! What is this?!" She looked up at Luke, panicked, but at the same time something about this sudden change sent a wave of energy through her...!

"I gave you both what you wanted! You get to feel both dominated by someone else's control, and experience life as a woman. James, I put you in charge of Ivy and fused your bodies together!" Luke grinned at his handiwork.

"You WHAT!" the girl exclaimed, getting close to hyperventilating as she sat up and looked down at herself. Her hands just sort of hovered some distance from her body, looking not unlike she was going to reach out and strangle Luke, though that was likely just coincidence. James and Ivy had no preparation of combining together like Luke and Ivy had. They'd practiced it and had the Ascend as mediator. This was a raw combination, and it was not just two sets of thoughts filtering into a third location. It was two minds, trying to sort through the jumble of brain signals, to cooperate in one body.

Luke frowned. "Damn, I thought you two would be really into it... Okay, calm down, calm down!" He put his hands on the fused girl's shoulders, until her breathing started to finally slow. "There you go, just relax. Don't fight each other, I know this is all different. But I put you together in a particular way. First, the body. ...Well, I really just made the body sexy, sort of just my preferences there. If I can make a body look like that, I'll do it every time! But in the head, I evened a lot of things out, except James, I put your part of the brain in executive control over decision making and that sort of stuff."

The girl blinked. "You could just... do that...?" she asked, finally past the panic of her new self and briefly in awe of Luke's power.

"Oh yeah, it's easy," Luke said. "I would have a tough time integrating into a brain with my new biological structures, but the nanites are really efficient if I want them to change something around. And mixing two brains together is, surprisingly, easy for me! So, you'll share a lot of traits with each other, you can still sense each other and all that, no problem. Just that James is in charge--if he wants to see the tits or dance around naked, that's what will happen."

The girl blushed, and put a hand on her face. "This is... unreal, Luke. I dunno what to say."

Luke rolled his eyes. "Thank you maybe? Look, now you can do anything you want, and it'll be with a body you two share. Show your girlfriend some love and affection from within, and get to understand her experiences as your own! I'm not gonna change you back for... I dunno, at least a week."

"A week?!" the fused girl suddenly exploded again. "Luke what the hell, I can't go to school like this, no one will recognize me!"

"I'll take care of that," Luke said as he held up his hand, watching it turn to orange goo. "I rearranged parts of your brains in a matter of moments. I can make everyone in the school think this is your normal self. I can make both sets of parents think it. I could go so far as to just overwrite your minds, but I wanted to make this form so you would enjoy it, not just so you would be wiped of realizing it!"

The fused girl frowned, looking down at the clothes she wore, attire combined from both James and Ivy's outfits to put her in a plaid shirt and jean skirt. "...Sorry, just a little shocked. Trying to wrap my head around this." Hands slowly came to rest on her hips, as she shivered a little. This girl had James's ever-concerned-about-everything nature, but Luke could see that the Ivy side was starting to influence the body's prospects for pleasure. Her fingers were teasing lightly at the hem of the skirt she wore, like she was considering doing something to remove it, only barely holding herself back.

"What should we, uh, call me?" She asked.

Luke thought for a while about how to combine the two names, before giving up. "Jivy and Ivames or whatever, those sound dumb. How about... Jenny. It sounds kind of like Jimmy, like if you mumble it or something."

"Jenny..." she said. She nodded, and smiled a little bit at her friend. "I'll try it. But, you gave me a body shape that Ivy doesn't have clothes for, and I'll look like an idiot if I walk into school dressed in my stuff." Clearly, in Jenny's mind, since James was the 'dominant' mind, he got the exclusive use of 'I' to reference their form. When she realized that, she felt her body shudder, which made Jenny blink in a bit of surprise. That was clearly Ivy's excitement over losing control to another person kicking in...

Luke grinned. "Mall trip, then? We've got all afternoon. And I want to test a few things with Ascend tech with a group of strangers, so we have to go to an electronics store when we get there. Let's go, I'll drive!"

Jenny shrugged a little to herself, eventually climbing off the bed and testing a step or two in her new body, before following after Luke.
