Introducing...

Ross, Andrew, and Madison sat in Ross's living room and anxiously chatted about Erica's new look. Ross had turned his couch to face the door and they were waiting while their reimagined friend got dressed.

It was Erica's idea to make it a big reveal. Every night for three days Madison had come to Ross's apartment after class. Ross bound her to the resculptor script and she disappeared into his former roommate's bedroom. In the morning the she re-emerged and became his girlfriend again. Erica had picked out a dress online and sent Andrew to get it; she couldn't be sure it would fit, but it was better than wearing one of Ross's shirts.

The resculptor finished reanimating the golem and slipped back into the living room. She grumbled briefly about how she wouldn't be able to see their reactions to her work before Andrew unbound her and quickly brought back Madison. Now the three were sitting and waiting anxiously.

"Erica?" Andrew called, to no answer. He knocked on the door and muffled voice called back.

"Oh, right! Sorry! I had the resculptor change my name," she called back.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah!" she responded. "Go sit down, I'll be right out!"

Andrew took a seat on the couch next to Ross and leaned forward intently. After a moment, the door opened and their friend stepped from the darkness of the bedroom into the living room.

The silence was overwhelming as the the trio drank in the vision. Maria grinned sheepishly and a blush crept into her cheeks as they stared, mouths agape. Her face was still recognizable, but it now took on an angelic aspect of grace, empathy, and beauty. Her soft blue eyes sat nestled between thin, arched eyebrows and flawless cheekbones under a tousled mop of curly black hair. Her full, generous lips formed a smile that made Andrew's heart ache.

She was squeezed into a tight blue sundress that flowed down her body like a painter's stroke on canvas. Every inch of her body was silhouetted against the cheap drywall of the student apartment, and as she drew breath Andrew couldn't take his eyes off of the subtle rise and fall of her chest. Madison gaped at her backside, the gentle slope of her tummy giving way to the deliciously round and provocative swell of her hips. Ross forgot to blink as he drank in her legs, tapering up from her ankles to her slim, supple calves, past her knees to the toned, firm thighs that disappeared under the sheer blue fabric of her dress.

"Guys," she said uncertainly. "You can close you mouths..."

Madison was the first to speak. "Jesus Christ," she said. "What even are you?"

"I'm the same person you knew before," the golem replied. "Just repackaged a little."

"How did you do this?" Ross asked. "How are you even real?"

She laughed nervously and Ross felt lightheaded. "Ask Madison," she said sweetly. "She's the one who built me."

Madison blushed now. "I- that was- Fuck! I can't even think right now, looking at you. Erica, babe, you are incredible!"

Now Erica turned to Andrew, who was still dumbstruck. She walked over to him and his eyes bugged out as her form filled his vision. "It's all thanks to this guy," she said. "I owe it all to him. Oh, and I'm not Erica anymore, remember?"

She put a hand on Andrew's shoulder, who jumped as though he'd been hit with a cattle prod. "Andrew, honey, aren't you going to introduce me?"

"Right!" he stammered, finally finding his speech. "Yeah! Uh, guys, meet Maria."

"Maria..." Madison said with quiet awe.

"That's right!" the newly rechristened golem said excitedly. "No more Erica Levinson! From now on, you can call me Maria Andrews."
