Lip Expansion

Erica's changes were stacking up and even though some of the options were worse than others, she was less interested in watching the votes. She had almost resolved herself that the audience was going to pick the most humiliating change no matter what. Make a Wish! was the only change that had more terrifying implications, the rest were as much as she was becoming accustomed to on this show. Instead she focused on getting to her exam on time. She was still getting plenty of stares from her absurd body type. Not only was she incredibly top-heavy, but to everyone else she seemed to be intent on showing off for attention or even something more suggestive.

“Erica, are you still with us?” Jack asked. “We’ve just received the last of the votes. Would you like to know what the audience picked?”

“Spark me! I just know you bad votes are me. Is faster so is do it?” (Just zap me already! I know you voted for something bad. Why don’t you get it over with?)

The buzzing from the collar travelled up into her face. More specifically, it focused on her mouth. It was quickly clear what was happening as she felt her lips slowly begin to inflate. The sensation of growth was familiar at this point. Her lips grew larger by the second until she felt them start to pout without her meaning them to. She brought her hand up to feel them to get a better idea of what the damage was. Her first observation was the softness of them. Despite being unnaturally large, they were very, very real. She couldn’t help herself from imagining what making out would feel like, or other things...

The second realization she had was that her resting pout was stuck in an o-shaped position. It wasn’t even the magic of the choker; they were just so big that she couldn’t close her lips together all the way. She didn’t have a mirror, but she was pretty sure that it made her look like a vacant bimbo. That was the name of the show after all. As best as she could she tried to use her new lips to tell Jack what she thought of this new change.

“My wips puffy squishy! I suck dick wis’ if I ish’ make me wike thish’!” (My lips are swollen way too much! I look like I was made to suck dick!)

“Ha ha! That’s hilarious! As you see, the vote was for Lip Expansion and that includes a fun new lisp.” Jack laughed. “As if you didn’t have it hard enough expressing yourself. If it wasn’t so entertaining, I’d say maybe you should just keep quiet most of the time.”

It was pointless to argue, Erica figured. Arriving at her classroom, she entered her first exam. The looks from her classmates made her want to melt. The part of the harmony change that prevented others from questioning her impossible changes didn’t seem to protect her from ruining her image. As far as they knew she had picked out this tiny skirt and top and her new lips, well, even if they were real, there would be some prejudicial judgement anyway. She waited patiently to be handed her exam papers.

The exam was on British literature that they had been reading over the semester so far. There were several multiple choice and short answer questions that she was able to answer easily. The majority of the exam, however, was a series of essay questions where they were meant to analyze the deeper meaning in the text. She went to start the first essay and came to an awful realization. She couldn’t write anything about the book. She remembered what it had been about, but she didn’t have the words. It was like when she tried speaking the first time after receiving Linguistically Challenged.

“Book I read is good at being book and character man is big full of deep deepness. The book says things that are things that are not the same things. Many of the words are for the theme: being sad.” she wrote out.

As she read the first few sentences, she was horrified by the discovery that even her writing was full of gibberish now. She couldn’t turn this in! She knew the plot of the book, the themes, the character arcs, but it wouldn’t come across the way she spewed out nonsense. She erased what little she had written as best she could, but her lacking eraser left enough impression to see that she had started to write and quit. She would never pass without the essays. She’d have to try to make some excuse for why she couldn’t take the exam.

Erica raised her hand just high enough to get the professor’s attention. With a curious look, she got up and quietly approached Erica’s desk. She spoke in a hushed tone as to not disturb the other students who were actively writing their essays.

“Do you have a question about the exam?” she asked.

“I, wike, can’t wite thish’. Ish’ too hard to say how the book ish’. I take it later?” she asked desperately.

“You’d have to have a legitimate reason to retest another time. You can’t take the exam again just because you didn’t spend enough time in the book.”

It was hopeless. Her professor didn’t seem to find her new speech pattern alarming. Rather, she looked at her as if she hadn’t proven her academic prowess in the weeks prior already. As was customary on Bimbo or Billionaire, even the supposed rewards could have negative consequences. Her garbled vocabulary and bimbo lisp were normal to everyone around her and as a result, she was being treated like she was failing English. She handed over her failed attempt and left the classroom in embarrassment. Back in the studio she glared at Jack.

"Case nine is mine! Give! I need to change to be backwardsh'!"

"You could undo the changes and change back to the old Erica, but you're pretty far off from getting all those reward cases, don't you think? Oh well, let's see what you picked."

$1,000,000 displayed on the case, clear as day. Erica actually paused in shock. That was more money than she ever imagined having. Even though she was **** on the show, maybe it could be worth it. With enough money, did it really matter if nobody respected her?

"I have a million of a dollar! 16 cases, please!"

$10,000,000 shown with a heavenly radiance from her chosen case. She was already half way there! Against her better judgement, Erica actually considered that she could reverse the changes and walk away a billionaire at the end of all this. For the most part the audience was cheering in excitement at the high-value prize cases being opened, but a few boos echoed from them as well.

"Now I'm 19! Case, case, case!" Erica spouted in her excitement.

The money stopped rolling in it seemed, but what appeared wasn't one of the punishment cases either. A pair of dice signified a game changing reward case. Either way it still counted towards getting away with the money she had earned.

"Well isn't that impressive!" Jack applauded. "See, things aren't as rigged as you thought. With two more cash cases, that makes you a multi-millionaire! As for your latest reward, we have a couple of options for you. You can eliminate one of the remaining punishment cases, as well as a cash case to keep things even, or you may choose a total reroll on your previous punishments. The latter would swap out each and every change you've received for new ones at random. What'll it be?"

[btw I may tone down her speech impediment because I don't know how to write a lisp, but it'll still be there.]
