How to Fight a Witch?

In the immediate aftermath of Melanie's sudden disappearance, the whole room was in a state of shock. What had begun as a preliminary discussion about whether or not to help Mel's friend, and if so how, had almost instantly descended into another crisis reminiscent of the NA days.

"Where did she go, people don't just disappear!" Sophie panicked.

"No fucking way this is happening. I told her we should stay out of this!" Lexie seethed "Fuck!"

"This is crazy! Where is she?!" Barbie demanded to know.

"Lets try not to panic" Cassie, usually the coolest head in the room - at least in the absence of Chantelle - encouraged everyone "She got a message on her phone right before she vanished. What did it say?"

Sophie scurried over and picked up the Mel's phone from where it had dropped on the floor as she vanished "Okay, she got a message from someone called Rebecca. That was the name of the witch right? She says something about teaching Mel for meddling and showing Lexie witchcraft is real"

"Seriously Fuck this bitch!" Lexie banged her fist on the coffee table in a rage.

"Then something about only just getting started with Mel and she hopes she enjoys her first client" Sophie continued.

"Client?" Barbie wrinkled her nose in confusion "What does that even mean?"

"I think I can guess" Cassie sighed sadly.

"Oh hang on, there's a new app on her phone...Melanie Does Anything"

"That fucking witch bitch cunt!" Lexie exploded "I am going to hunt her down and destroy her warty ass, just fucking watch me!"

There was suddenly a flash of sparkling smoke around Lexie which made the other three girls jump back and gasp in shock. When it had dissipated a plump green frog sat on the floor where Melanie's angry wife had just been standing.

"Oh my goodness! Is that Lexie?!" Barbie gasped.

"This is horrible!" Sophie squealed "How are we supposed to deal with this?"

"Okay, first of all everyone be super careful what they say from now on" Cassie encouraged her two remaining human friends, though even she was struggling to remain calm right now "We are obviously being watched and this was a warning for us to back off"

"It's a pretty fucking convincing one!" Sophie admitted as she looked down at the amphibian hopping about hopelessly on the floor near her feet.

"So what? We just leave Mel? And Lexie stays like that?" Barbie protested.

"We need to take some time to think of another solution to this dispute. We are obviously dealing with an extremely powerful person and we need to respect that" Cassie chose her words extremely carefully "We aren't going to be much use to either of our friends if we all get transformed or cursed or whatever. We should probably start by investigating the app so we can at least see what Melanie Does Anything is and understand how it works"

Since there had been no more sudden flashes of smoke and she was still in human form, Cassie figured either Rebecca had used up her powers for this evening or that she didn't find what Cassie was proposing as objectionable as Lexie's threatening rant. Hopefully both. Nonetheless, it was best not to take any chances. It was also clear this was going to be a major problem that required more than just the three glitches left in the room who still had opposeable thumbs to deal with. There was a timely chime of the doorbell.

"I'll get it!" a still clearly shaken Sophie announced "God, if it's someone in a pointy hat with a broomstick..."

Barbie meanwhile had scooped the frog up and was cradling her close to her breasts. Cassie couldn't help thinking how impossibly huge they must appear to Lexie right now.

"Don't worry, we'll get you back to your usual grumpy self before long. You do make a cute l'il froggy though!" Barbie consoled Lexie who croaked something back, which probably would have included a lot of swearing if it could have been translated. A knock on the door jarred the frazzled women as Cassie promptly answered. It was Chantelle and Abigail!

"Oh, hi Chantelle…” Sophie said but stopped smiling when saw her wife. “…Abi…babe, I thought we agreed you were going to sit this one out?" Sophie had never been less pleased to see her wife. This was not a situation she wanted the person she loved most walking into.

"You think I'd just leave y'all to hog all the fun and drama while I sit at home masturbating? No way, gorgeous!" Abigail slapped Sophie playfully on the butt as she entered "So, did we miss anything yet? We brought chips AND dips!"
