The friends test out Jenny's new abilities
by: Unknown
"Nice," Mark reached down to help Jenny up on the pool's bank.
A look of excruciating pain on Mark's face made Samantha wince as she looked on. "What did she do to you? Mark? Are you, O.K.?"
"Sorry." Jenny let go like she'd grabbed someone's freshly mangled flesh from a meat grinder. The purple and red bruise pulsing lively on Mark's hand was shocking. "I don't know what happened. Yes, I do. It was that."
Samantha came up to look more closely. Mark leaned over to plunge his throbbing fingers down into the cool water. "Don't ever ask me to arm wrestle with you. I'd lose the use of one whole side of my body."
"Jenny, I thought you were a goner. Now we know what two of the orbs do. Super-strength and transforming our bodies into whatever we most want them to become. What's the third?" Samantha stepped away from Jenny in wonder, imagining all manner of impossible things.
"Look at you. All three of us could be a god or goddesses we seem so perfect," Mark held his numb hand with his normally colored one. "We don't have the clothes to match. None of what we wore would fit us now. Not that I mind, looking at you two babes."
"Someone's coming. It is more than one." Jenny lifted her head up, her ears scanning around the waterfall forested enclave like radar. "The strength of my hearing has improved. I can switch it on and off. This is amazing."
From the rocky path leading down to the pool, a half-dozen grizzled figures of men grew larger as they came into view. Shouts of drunken laughter came with them. The first stopped to throw a beer can up in the air, spilling brew into the sky. A rifle shot made it spin up higher before it tumbled into the pristine water.
"Hey, you are going to pick that up, right? We leave it cleaner than when we came. Us nature lovers never leave trash." Mark moved a step towards the men, winced as his injured hand brushed his side, and paused.
"Look at those two half-naked babes, man," the gun-wielding figure pointed the rifle at them. He stood unsteadily weaving back and forth gaping with drool dripping from his mouth.
"Party time," leered another drawing a hunting blade from his side. "Me first."
Jenny flexed her new body, feeling the ease with which it responded. If she could entice the party close enough, it might become a real surprise party for the intruders. "Ready, you two? Might not have super-strength like I do, but with your new perfect bodies, they'll be no match."
Samantha nodded, licked her lips, beckoned the lecherous fools on. Her body shone in the mid-day sun straight out of a Sports-Illustrated swimsuit issue. The leader pushed forward. "Spread out, guys. There's enough for all of us."
