Her skin changes colour

Right before Veronica's eyes, a reddish tint began to spread outward from her lips. It moved across her cheeks and down her neck, beneath her impeccable suit, right from the shoulder to the tips of her fingers. Her whole body was just as red as her signature outfit, from the top of her head down to her shiny high-heeled boots.

Then, her skin suddenly turned translucent. Her form grew less defined, more... fluid. As if she didn't really fit in a human body, and wanted to revert to some other state of being. Her body jiggled like jello, her boobs entirely defying physics with each hypnotic motion. Her hand felt sticky on Veronica's shoulder.

Suddenly, the reality of the situation caught up to her. "Oh my god!" she cried. "Heather, are you okay?"

Whatever vulnerability Veronica had seen before was broken in that moment, Heather falling back to her old 'popular girl' persona once more.

"Of course I'm okay!" she snapped, folding her arms across her chest. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because you- you changed!"

Heather looked down at her new slime skin and shrugged. "I don't see anything different."

"Not the fact that you're made of slime? Or bright red? That's perfectly fine to you?"

Heather McNamara crept closer and cocked her head curiously. "Do you need to see a doctor?"

Veronica raked a hand through her hair. "No, I don't need to see a doctor! Why are you guys acting so natural about this?"

Slowly, McNamara came forward and placed her hand gently on Veronica's sweaty brow. She examined her pupils, almost poking her in the eyes in the process. "You look fine. But, Veronica, Heather's always been like this."
