It's a dancing game

This whole situation is frustrating for the newly-renamed Anne. First, she's cursed by some maniacal imp who thinks changing people's bodies is hilarious. Then, Kacie won't listen to her, despite them being best friends. Then, she loses the book to some random stranger on the street. Is it any wonder that the girl just wants to take a break from things for a bit?

A little dance break seems in order. The machine to which Anne seems drawn is called "Super Wonder Dance." The game is clearly inspired by the Dance Dance Revolution craze of the early '00s: Instead of a joystick and buttons, the machine is decked out with a floor pad of four directional arrows. On the screen is a colorful display of trippy patterns in the background, and in the foreground is the avatar character. Arrows ascend on the screen as instructions of what's to come, and when they reach a certain point, the player needs to touch the corresponding one on the floor pad.

This particular unit seems to have a few extras beyond the typical DDR machine, though. A camera is on display in the front, and sometimes instructions flash on the screen like, "Arms up!" or "Spin around!", and with the motion-sensing tech, it judges the player on trying to follow the requested moves as much as it keeps track of the footwork.

From your ghostly vantage point, you watch as Anne pops the quarter in. A synthy house beat starts up right away. You see Anne bobbing her head to it; she's into this sound, her body already starts to move to the beat. You are amused by how she's almost naturally giving her hips a shake as she steps up onto the floor pad arrows. Looks you're going to get a little show.

"Okay, let's do this!" she says aloud to herself as the song starts up and the arrows begin to climb up the screen. Anne doesn't seem to notice that right after she put the quarter in, the avatar on the screen took on an uncanny resemblance to her: where once a generic Japanese pop-idol type was doing the attract-screen moves, now a girl with red hair of about Anne's new length, as well as an outfit that is shockingly close to what she is wearing, is on the screen.

Anne isn't looking at the avatar, though. She's watching where the arrows meet the playfield. As each one connects with the active area, her feet start to move. Up, left, up, back, right, left, up—say, Anne is pretty good at this game!

The first camera-focused direction pops up: "Left arm, up!" Anne follows the instruction while still moving her feet. She doesn't keep it up; just a quick up then back down, making it seem more naturally part of the dance. Another instruction appears: "Head look right!" She quickly looks to her right and then back at the screen. The arrows seem spaced just right to be able to let moments like that happen.

As you watch, you can see how much Anne is getting into it. It's not a robotic movement of steps or a dispassionate following of instructions. You see her moving her hips, bobbing to the music, making her movements much more natural, like she's just ...dancing to the music.

"Spin around!" the machine instructs. Anne does so, balancing on one foot and doing a beautiful, quick twirl. "Arms above your head!" She puts them up, having her left-hand hold onto her right arm while doing so.

"Bend forward and smile!"

That seems...a little forward for an arcade game. Regardless, Anne does just that, planting her feet on the right and left arrows as instructed, bending at the waist, arms down again, hands on her knees, and she smiles. "SUPER!" comes the reward points, flashing on the screen. ...a flash that lingers in Anne's eyes a moment longer.

"Stand sideways!" That instruction seems a little more appropriate. Anne shifts her stance, her head turned to look at the screen over her left shoulder, still following the step-prompt arrows, still showing a perfect score on that front.

"Face front! Arms up!" Anne does the two instructions in a row.

"Shake your boobs!"

Your incorporeal eyes go wide at that direction. Anne, though...

Anne just gives her big breasts a shake. They wobble a bit under her shirt and bra. She can't help but smile a bit as she follows the surprise, lewd instruction, resuming her steps with the arrows.

"Turn around!" Anne turns to be facing away from the screen, looking back and seeing the next instruction say, "Bend over!" She does so, the arrows having stopped for the moment, allowing her to...take her time, slowly bend forward, way forward, her round ass in her purple shorts toward the camera.

"WONDERFUL!" comes the reward chime, with an audience cheering and some more flashes on the screen. Anne smiles, stands up and faces the front, her hips shaking more prominently as she resumes the steps as the arrows come again.

"Take off your shirt!"

Surely this will be the clue to the girl that this is a trap. There's no way that a public arcade machine would—Oh, there she goes. Without question, Anne takes the bottom of her shirt in her hands and pulls the pink top right off, tossing it aside.

"SUPER!" the machine commends, the score rocketing upward. Anne keeps on dancing, her bra-clad cleavage now on display. There doesn't seem to be anyone else in the arcade at the moment, but you have a feeling that did not factor into Anne's choice.

The instructions keep coming, and in her dance-trance, the girl keeps following them. "Slip off your shorts!" Pretty soon the girl is taking her shorts off, not being penalized for missing arrows while doing so. She is now in her underwear and shoes, shaking her hips, breasts jiggling as the song keeps going.

"Let those tits free!" comes the lewdest instruction yet. And, like with the others so far, Anne doesn't hesitate. She reaches back, unhooks the bra, even spins it around with a "Woo!" and throws it away. Her breasts, now fully exposed, bounce with her moves!

"Let's see it all!" is the next instruction, and sure enough, she bends forward to pull her panties down and off, stepping her sneaker-clad feet out of them and kicking them off of the floor pad. She is now dancing in the nude, only her shoes and socks left on.

"SUPER WONDER!!!" comes the game's applause, the score shooting higher, the instructions coming faster. You watch as Anne spins, bends, turns, bobs, tosses her hair, struts in place.....all while naked, and loving every moment.

The song finally ends with Anne in a final pose, one arm up, the other on her hip, turned in a way that shows her breasts and ass off, and smiling as she pants.

"PERFECT!" the game declares with the virtual audience cheering on the equally as nude avatar. "You're a SUPER WONDER STRIPPER! S+ Rank! Get ready!"

Anne blinks and slowly comes out of the pose. "Get ready for what?" she asks aloud.

A blindingly bright light flashes from the screen and fills the whole room. You and Anne both have your vision completely whited out, feeling a rush like wind over you.

Anne rubs her eyes. The sounds of the room around her have changed. No longer does she hear the many and varied arcade machine noises, but rather...another synthy beat. When her vision returns, she seems to be behind a curtain on a stage.

The girl looks around but then looks down at herself. She is somehow dressed again, only it's not her simple outfit from before. Instead, she has on a short skirt over a thong, and a tight sparkling shirt that doesn't cover her belly, and a bra that is totally impractical. Her feet no longer had sneakers and socks, but rather very feminine strapped-on black high heels.

"Gentlemen, get ready for your favorite fiery redhead!" comes an announcer's voice. "Let's give it up for the Ravishing Ruby!" The curtain opens, and Anne finds herself presented to the audience of mostly men surrounding a runway-like stage...with a pole at the end area. They are cheering and calling for a show.

And with a smile on her face, Anne struts forward to the music, so naturally, as if arrow instructions are guiding her feet. After all, these guys paid for a show...and the stripnotized Anne was going to give them such a good one, they'd keep coming back for more!

"SUPER WONDER!!"
