Rocky Mountain High

“Steven! What the fuck are you doing?! How did you get up there?” Katie demanded, seeing that Steven was lying on top of a bookshelf with a rather cute looking mixed race girl that she couldn’t place the name of.

“Oh, hey guys. You're back early,” Steven said sheepishly.

“I mean, not really,” Mark said as he eyed everything Steven did in their absence. “If anything, it took us a lot longer than we planned.”

Katie punched Mark’s shoulder at this, to emphasize that he should shut up.

“Oh, uh, sorry”, Steven said from atop the bookshelf. As he said this, he groped Sara’s butt, the girl not noticing this. Her head was leaned awkwardly to one side, giving her a doll-like look.

"I guess no harm... I mean, I'm sure if I was left alone I would run a muck too..." Katie remarked and looked around. "I am a little surprise how much you able to get done in like thirty minutes..." she added, gesturing around the surrounding scene.

This caused Steven to blush a bit. “So I guess we have to put everyone back then?”

"Well, we have to at least get everyone dressed again..." Mark said. He regretted leaving Steven behind, but he had to admit if he was in his shoes, who would have done the same.

“Uh, can I ask a favor first?”

Mark raised an eyebrow. "This isn't enough?"

“Could you maybe freeze Sara here?”

Mark looked at the naked girl that was up on the shelf with his friend. He did not have a class with her but saw around and knew of her. She was a looker for sure. Worthy of collecting, but it was a getting a bit overboard at the moment. "I don't know..." Mark said.

“Why do you want to freeze her?" Katie asked.

“I…uhhh…. I think I have a crush on her,” Steven replied simply.

“You said the same thing about Avery…. and Gabriella,” Mark pointed out, crossing his arms.

"You have a crush on anyone, pretty..." Katie muttered.

"It feels different with her..." Steven argued. His hands groping Sara's breasts. In honesty, it didn't, but he really wanted someone to recover his feeling of loss over Gabby.

“If it's so different, why don't you ask her out, then?" Katie countered.

“Nah..." Steven muttered, already not liking the idea. He looked over Sara's time-stopped form. He liked her this way over being animated.

“Hey man, I froze Phoebe and the others out of necessity. I'm not going to freeze Sara just cause you're too chickenshit to ask her out," Mark pointed out.

"Just ask her out... if you feel so different about her..." Katie suggested.

Steven looked at Katie and Mark darkly, his mind thinking up of a way to get Sara without asking her out. In honesty, he did not feel that different from Sara or Gabby or even Avery. As soon as he saw them naked, he liked them. As soon as he could control them like action figures, he wanted them.

He was about to try something when Mark saved him. "Hey man, ask her out and if she shoots you down. Then I'll consider it...now could you get down from there and get dressed?"

Steven huffed, "Fine," he said as he started to climb down. That was better than an outright no, he thought.

"We can't freeze so many people in this short period either," Katie added.

"There's nothing stopping us from doing it though," Steven said as he got back down and started to dress. Luckily his clothes were nearby, and he did not have to stroll around naked in front of his friends. He wondered if he could get Mark to freeze Katie, he thought as he looked at the brunette. She was a bit too reasonable for Mark's gift. Without her being around, Steven would have an easier time convincing Mark to do things.

Katie stepped up to Mark as Steven finished dressing. She looked over at her friend before dropping closer to Mark. "You're not going to freeze Sara, are you?"

"Not right now..." Mark shrugged. Steven was right. He could really do what he wanted. Katie was also right. It'll be a mess to just freeze and keep people on a whim. He also did not like how Steven was just demanding things. Probably not a good idea to bring him in, but it was something Mark would deal with later. "I just need him to shut up about it for now."

"Good," Katie nodded.

Mark raised his voice just so Steven would not get suspicious. He didn't need that. "So... what about that other thing you wanted to do? You don't want to do it anymore?"

“I never said that?” Katie said defensively, raising her arms. Steven looked over at his two friends curiously, not knowing what this other thing was.

Once Steven was dressed, he dragged her off the shelf.

Steven looked down at Sara again, and brushed her hair next to her ear, before leaning down and placing a kiss on her cheek. “Soon my love, soon”, he whispered into the girl’s unhearing ear.

“You done there you love bird,” Mark asked impatiently.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Steven said and gave Sara's breasts one more grope before looking around for the girl's clothing. He moaned inwardly, seeing the mess of clothing that was littered around the library. Steven barely remembered where everyone was before he started messing round with them, let alone what they were wearing.

Katie saw the look on Steven's face and shook her head. "You don't remember what they were wearing don't you?"

"Well..." Steven replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "...that and where everyone was..."

"Of course..." Mark shook his head. He was not going to admit himself, but he wouldn't remember any of those details either. At least it was not his mess, though. "Well, we just have to get people dressed.

It took them a little longer to get people dressed. The trio took liberties to feel people when they got a chance. To Steven's delight, Mark and Katie both partook in some make out and groping with their time-stopped classmates.

Once everything and everyone was roughly back in place, and three friends headed for what they knew for sure this time was an abandoned classroom near the library before restarting time. They were somewhat curious what would happen after all.

To say the least it was pure chaos. Not typical for a library, a lot of noise could be heard coming from it. And when they said alot of noise, they meant a lot of noise, and panic and girls began rushing out, causing the crowds outside to begin to scatter.

It was outright beginning to turn into a madhouse, even with several teachers intervening. Still, this wasn’t enough, and soon a. Calk came out on the intercom for students to evacuate to the football field. Mark, Katie, and Steven decided to play along, and followed the crowd out as order was restored.

After about an hour in the freezing cold, the teachers decided to cancel class for the rest of the day and send everyone home early. This worked fine for the three friends, who quickly made their way for Steven’s van, no one else noticing the naked frozen figures that sat inside. Soon the three of them were off, their prizes in tow.
