Wet and Weightless

“Come on Sam! You’re not gonna just sit there, are you? The water’s great!”

Sam shook her head stubbornly. Whose idea was it again, to invite her, her sister and a bunch of friends to a pool of all places? She really hated water and would rather do anything else, just as long as it’s on dry land.

“No thanks guys! I really hate when my hair gets wet…”

She dismissed the invitation and flickered her fuzzy tail. The petite catgirl fixed her jaw-long purple hair and went back to reading a book in the shadow of a big umbrella. Her skin remained quite pale which nicely contrasted with her black lips.

“Oh come on sis! You’re missing all the fun!”

Sam’s ears twitched on top of her head as she heard the familiar voice. Maz was mocking her from the neighbouring chair. Her bustier and taller sibling’s eyes glowed slightly from underneath the large straw hat.

“You should enjoy some water while it’s still summer!”

Sam looked at her annoyed.

“Why don’t you hop into the pool yourself then, hm?”

Maz giggled and crossed her legs. She placed her clawed finger on her chin and thought for a moment.

“You’re such a buzzkill, sis. I think you should lighten up a little.”

She placed her hand on Sam’s head and gave her a few pats. A strange tingling went through the catgirl's scalp and she immediately recognized the sensation. She was using magic on her!

“What the hell did you do this time…”

“Nothing! You’re such a meanie to accuse your poor sister!”

She said in a clearly fake innocent tone.

“Oh don’t bullshit me, sis! You think I don’t know y…. *splash* …hey!”

Someone splashed some water all over her before she could even finish her sentence. Immediately she felt a strange pressure building up in her guts. She got goosebumps all over her body for a split second before her skin started to tingle.

“Ok, what did you do, seriously…”

Maz rolled her eyes playfully.

“I could tell you but I think you will know soon enough. Relax! It’s gonna be fun!”

She waved her hand dismissively and put on dark sunglasses. Sam jumped up from her seat angrily and quickly noticed that her body seemed a bit lighter. With the corner of her eye she caught a blinking sheen on her arm. It seemed… unnaturally smooth and was quickly becoming even more glossy.

“Reverse it right now! I mean it!”

Sam said, stomping her leg. She felt as the pressure continued to build up. It started in her stomach and now seemed to slowly fill her entire torso, which seemed ever so slightly rounder and plumpier. Was she getting fatter? Meanwhile her skin reached the state where it didn’t even look like skin anymore. It looked more like.. Vinyl? Whatever imperfections she had like moles or scars simply washed away, leaving just a flat unnatural color. Her swimsuit stuck to her body and as her torso continued to expand, its fabrics seemed to tightly glue themselves to her skin. Sam’s chest and hips ballooned out. Looking down she could clearly see how her swimsuit was being absorbed into her enlarged bosom. Soon what was once a suit, became nothing more than a print on her glossy skin.

“And if I don’t?”

Maz teased. Sam was swelling up in front of her eyes, but all that growing didn’t translate to any increased weight. Quite the opposite. She felt lighter than ever before! Her torso felt practically… empty. She ran her finger through her chest and heard a hollow squeak. The pressure was mercilessly progressing further, slowly travelling down the length of her arms and legs. All four of her limbs followed a similar fate to her torso. They started to puff up, losing any definition of muscles. She looked at her changing arms and groaned when she saw thin lines appearing on both sides of them. Those were seams!

“Oh no you didn’t…”

Sam felt the hollow sensation reaching her hands and feet and could only watch as her fingers melted together, forming huge puffy mitts. No fingers, not even a thumb, just a pair of inflated bappers. Simplified to the extreme and completely useless to manipulate anything. Her legs met the same fate and she struggled to keep herself up right with her feet reduced to round nubs as well. She awkwardly wobbled in place as her body was almost completely weightless now. She could feel her vinyl skin being pushed out by the pressure of air inside her body. She was literally hollow! She could even see through her inflated and slightly translucent body that there was nothing inside. Her bapper legs and arms squeaked against each other with a sound similar to a balloon. A tingle on her belly suggested the inevitable appearance of the valve but she was unable to see it from behind her rounder curves.

“A pooltoy!? What the hell Maz!”

She gasped with her mouth open in outrageous shock. Her head remained normal still, but that was soon about to change as well.

“Matches the occasion, don’t you think?”

“This is embarrassing…”

Maz smiled and placed her finger on Sam’s lips. Before the catgirl could reply she felt the air finally reaching her head. She could feel as her head was being emptied out and filled with the same pressure as her body. Her brain turned into oxygen just like the rest of her insides, making her a literal airhead. Her lips glued shut and her whole face began to smooth out. Her facial features were being completely erased. Her mouth went first, flattening into nothingness. But soon lines started to appear, and with strokes of a magic brush she was getting a more matching replacement. Soon her face was decorated with a large printed-on permanent grin, giving her an exaggerated silly look. She blinked for the last time as her eyes flattened down, becoming a pair of cartoony drawings as well, finalizing the pooltoy look.

She looked down at herself and felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. She became nothing more than a blowup toy, filled with air. Her limbs were useless nubs and she could hear every squeak of her skin ripple loudly through her hollow body. The air pressure was the only thing that was holding her body in shape now. But as she was looking herself over and discovering the existence of new handles attached to her hips, she realized it was becoming harder to move with each passing second. She felt herself stiffening and her body springing into a pre-set position, making her lose her balance and start to weightlessly tilt forward.

She started to fall and wanted to shout for someone to grab her but all that came out was a cute rubbery:

“SQUEAK!”

Maz placed her finger on her forehead, keeping her upright. Sam was now just a silly pooltoy and her sister was simply loving the look.

“Have fun!”

Maz said and pushed her forward, making Sam lean backwards towards the pool. She was unable to move so there was no way she could stop herself from falling.

*Sqrk! Squeak! Srrkk!”

Sam protested loudly in the only way she still could but soon her back touched the cold water of the pool. But she obviously didn’t fall in. Her inflatable body was floating above the surface weightlessly. She was unable to move or even look around. All she was able to muster from her weak air filled body was a little useless wobble. Soon she felt someone’s hand around her handle. It was so weird that she could feel that like a part of her body. Well… she supposed it was now.

“Hey guys look at this funny pooltoy!”

Some guy said while dragging her over the water.

“Oh it’s so cute!”

Sam heard a girl’s voice and felt an arm wrapping around her waist. The weight of a person pushed her air filled body deeper into the water. A blonde long-haired girl jumped out of the water and hopped right on Sam’s waist. Sam couldn’t move to throw her off so she was forced to just float there with the girl relaxing on her like an inflatable mattress.

“Hey Sadi, can I join?”

Another girl asked.

“Yeah sure!”

Moments later Sam could see the back of another person as she hopped in and placed her butt right on Sam’s round air filled chest.

“SQUEAK!”

She squeaked in disapproval but it was easily mistaken for a normal pooltoy sound. The second girl soon rested her back on Sam’s permanently grinning face and they were floating like that for a while. Sam could feel the girl’s thighs rubbing against her vinyl body and squeezing her, causing the air inside her body to move around. The girls were chatting about their favourite shows and content creators while the catgirl pooltoy could do nothing but listen. Somewhat it felt strangely… pleasant and relaxing. Her skin was sensitive and the warm wet bodies of both girls rubbing against it actually felt quite nice. It’s not like she had a choice and could spend that time differently anyway… Finally, after what felt like at least an hour they hopped off of her.

“This toy was pretty comfy and cute, and doesn’t look too expensive. We should totally buy one!”

The blonde girl said and patted Sam in the face. The pooltoy Sam could hear them swimming away and guessing her price which felt very low... She was left, floating on the water alone again, but this break didn’t last long either.

Someone picked her up. Judging by the voice it was a young man. He shouted something to his friends and threw Sam high into the air. She could see the world spin as her inflatable body wobbled from the slight wind. Another person pushed her before she could even reach the water! They were treating her like some common beach ball! What the hell!

“Squeak!”

“Sqrk!”

“Sqk!”

She was letting out squeaks each time they were bouncing her between each other. Finally she landed on her front and stayed there without anyone picking her up again in a while. She was at least able to see more now with her head not pointed at the sky. Whenever the wind was merciful enough to turn her in the direction she wanted, she was scouting for either her friends or Maz but couldn’t see them anywhere. They must have left already! Did Maz really leave her here like that!? She’s gonna murder her… when she gets out of here… somehow…

She was left there, like a common object… Even if she could move, with her useless round limbs she wouldn’t be able to do much… She could only assume how she looked but couldn’t tell for sure. But somehow… she couldn’t get rid of the thought that this helpless state… wasn’t that bad. Being bapped, squeezed, bounced off weightlessly as an air-filled object all felt extremely restrictive and somewhat… relaxing.

Minutes were passing by. People were bumping against her, jumping on her, laying on her body, sometimes swimming on her, sometimes relaxing. Minutes turned to hours. Some teenagers were throwing her between each other. She couldn’t do anything to stop anyone. She couldn’t move nor ask for help. For everyone around she was looking like just another silly pooltoy. The sun was slowly getting ready to leave and the shadows were getting longer. The pool was closing.

“Sqrkkk…”

She squeaked helplessly and soon felt a pair of hands grabbing her by the waist. They picked her inflatable body without any effort and stood it against the wall. It was Maz!

“Have fun, sis? I gotta say, this is such a perfect summer look for you. Oh and if you are wondering - don’t worry - you cannot be pierced or destroyed in this form, Your inflatable skin should be quite sturdy.”

Maz said and poked her air filled round chest. Sam was furious and tried to show her displease, but all that came out was:

“SQUEAK! SQRK! SQUEAK!”

“Oh yes, I know you’re angry. But I also know that deep down you love it, because you're a filthy pervert. You love being a helpless silly toy, don’t you? Squeak if you agree.”

Sam’s permanently smiling face stayed silent.

“The only person you are fooling is yourself.”

Maz smiled and sighed.

“Eh, anyways… It's late, I’m going home. See you later, sis.”

She bopped her head and turned around. Sam was left there, leaning against the wall. Last glimpses of the sun hit her face through the metal fence. As she was admiring the warm rays bouncing off her reflective skin, she started to feel slightly less stiff. She could move again! She looked at herself. Still a pooltoy… but at least she could move.

“I hate her…”

She said and gasped.

“I can talk again! And move! Ok… I better leave before someone sees me and thinks I’m pool property ready to be stored away…”

She said to herself and sneaked away. What was she supposed to do now though? She was still in this useless form, without her stuff or even keys to her apartment. And it’s not like she would be able to open the locker with those useless blowup mitts…

Meanwhile the world got dark as the long summer day finally came to an end. As the lanterns began to turn on, she felt herself getting warmer… and heavier! Her body slowly shifted back into the familiar living and breathing flesh!

“Finally!”

She grabbed all of her things from the locker and went straight home. That was a long day…
