(Day 1)
"What's TG Pop?" Beast Boy questions at the foot of Raven's big, soft, silk sheeted mattress.
"Don't worry about it." Raven assures, sitting unusually close to Beast Boy's left. Their legs touching, Garfield couldn't help but wonder why Raven was so uncharacteristically nice today.
"It's just soda." Raven stresses. "You like soda, don't you?"
Beast Boy nods slowly, lifting the pink can up to his lips, the sugary liquid like honey to his tongue.
He smiles from pointed ear to ear, showing off his fangs, his green skin gleaming as dribble runs down his boxy chin.
Raven can't help but chuckle lightly.
"What's wrong, mama?" Beast Boy asks, curious to why his voice sounded strangely off. A tad higher in pitch than usual.
"Oh, nothing." Raven smirks. "Just couldn't help noticing how plump your lips are."
Almost immediately, Beast boy blushes a light yellow around his round cheeks.
What was with Ray-Ray today?!
(Day 3)
"It's just a little makeup." Raven reasons to a hesitant Beast Boy.
His bubbled butt wrapped in a purple pair of shorts, showing off a lot of leg, Beast Boy sits cutely on a stool, his eyes gazing nervously at a vanity cluttered with makeup acquired from their teammate, Starfire.
"I don't know..." Beast Boy scrunches his buttoned nose, his voice a few octaves higher than it had been earlier in the week. His hair just a tad messier than usual. His chest, as of late, flabby.
Something has been of lately... but Beast Boy simply couldn't figure out what!
"You've been feeling self conscious." Raven points out.
"... Yeah." Beast Boy admits meekly.
"Well, why not try some makeup?" Raven questions with eyeliner in her pasty white hands.
Garfield batts his eyes, Raven can't help but smile.
A sight that scared the poor boy something fierce.
"... Are you okay, Ray?" Beast Boy asks with deep concern.
"Yes, it's just..." Raven bites her lower lip. "You have really nice eyelashes, Gar."
Once again, Beast Boy finds himself blushing. That nickname? His heart was aflutter!
"... Okay, just a little makeup. Nothing too crazy!"
(Day 5)
"This is too crazy!" Gar girlishly screams, flailing his long, slender arms in rejection to a floral vibrant pink dress Raven held up high. His hair shoulder length, his shoulders pointed, chin a perfect triangle, lips unbelievable plump and juicy to the eye. Like two caterpillars in a pucker.
"Give it a try." Raven asks softly.
"Are you nuts?!" Beast Boy gets hysterical. His voice like a high school cheerleader, his body to match, Beast Boy has already submitted to a lacy bra and matching panties!
The bra specifically for his swollen chest, the panties... well, because they matched!
"I am not wearing a dress!" Beast Boy stops his foot childishly. "No way, Jose!"
Raven couldn't help but giggle with a light snort. Once again catching Beast Boy off guard.
"I'm sorry, you're just so cute when you're all fired up." Raven smiles.
"... I am?" Beast Boy batts his eyes like a perplexed kitten.
"Super cute." Raven nods.
"... Well..." Beats Boys grunts in a feminine fashion. "I guess I can... I dunno... I guess I can try a dress this one time?"
Raven looks overjoyed.
"How about a sunhat?"
"Don't push it!" Beast Boy glares.
Holding the dress, Gar couldn't help thinking it looked... CUTE.
(Day 7)
"You've got yo try TG Pop." Raven, sitting on a chair beside the pool, dressed in purple one piece, sits left of her alien friend, her orange, curvy body in a green polka dot bikini.
The sun glistening on their oiled skin, Starfire raises a puzzled brow.
"You say it only took a week, Friend Raven?"
Raven grins, looking out at the pool, where a body ascends out the water. Big, wet hair rich in volume, a feathered lock soaked wet.
Beast Girl, a firecracker at 5ft4 with big, round breasts that jiggled up and down with the slighted of movements. Raven and Starfire stare in awe as water droplets flick off Garla's soft, buoyant skin. and down her flawless hour glass figure.
She turns slightly, dressed in a purple and white ounce piece, the fabric riding up her impressive massively rear. Jiggling and Jangling seductively, her daughter hips swaying towards her girlfriend.
"How's the sun, baby?" Garla asks with a white towel around her head.
"Pretty good. How's the water?"
"Perfect." Galra winks. "Wanna swim with me later?"
Starfire is a loss for words. Out of nowhere, she wonders if Robin would look cute in a red top?!

Starfire watched as Raven and Garla swam together. Raven was pretty hot, but Garla.... Her perfect hourglass figure, her big perfectly jiggling breasts, her big wide bobbing bubble-butt that almost seemed to be beckoning Starfire.
The two reached the end of the pool and Raven pushed Garla against the side. Garla gasped. Starfire licked her lips. Garla was so petite, so feminine, so vulnerable. Raven was clearly the one in control.
Raven nipped Garla on the ear, causing the green babe to gasp again. She shook her hair, her long luxurious green locks shook the water.
Starfire bit her lip as Raven's nails pinched and caressed Garla's back, causing Beast Girl to arch. Then Raven thrust her tongue down Garla's throat, explored every inch of her inside.
"I gotta go!" Starfire squealed.
She flew to her room, slammed the door shut.
She collapsed on the bed and thrust two fingers into her dripping snatch.
"Oooo! AAAHHHHHH!"
Starfire had never felt so horny before. Her whole insides were boiling with lusty fire. Garla had looked like the cutest thing. So sweet and pretty and pliable. Starfire could see Robin in pigtails and a red frilly dress, cute green frilly panties and adorable green pumps. The cutest little doll.
"Oooo! AAAAHHH! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Starfire shrieked as she came, spraying her hot cum onto her bed.
"OHHH, X'HAL!"
* * *
"OOOOO, that's good!" Raven moaned. "MMmmmm, yessss, BG."
She caressed and pulled on Beast Girl's long luxurious hair as Garla bobbed up and down between Raven's thighs. Raven had wrapped her legs around Garla's head, holding her tight, and was grinding her crotch all over Beast Girl's face as she lapped at Raven like mad.
"GOoooood, girl!" Raven moaned. "Momma likes!"
Garla continued to lick. Raven was so yummy. It was so relaxing to lick her. So nice....
* * *
The next day, Robin was walking down the hall when he saw Starfire. "Hello, Star."
"Oh! Hello, Robin." Starfire smiled nervously at him.
Robin cocked his head. She seemed to be acting a little oddly.

(Day 1)
"... Is that what happened to Beast Boy?!" Robin questions as Starfire dangles a pink can of TG Pop in his face.
"Bests Girl." Starfire corrects. "Is she not the cutest things now, friend Robin?!"
Robin looks hesitant, the soda twirls left and right and left and right.
"I'm not taking TG Pop, Star." Robin says firmly. "I-I don't want to be a girl!"
Starfire pouts.
"But you would be the cutest!" Starfire assures.
Robin frowns.
"Star..."
"Please."
"I don't..."
"PLEASE."
"I just..."
"PLEASE!"
Robin sighs, slowly grabbing the can. Feeling trapped.
"Fine!" Robin submits. "... This-this can be reversed, right?"
Strarfire shrugs her slender shoulders. No clue whatsoever. Robin decides then and there it could be fixed... eventually.
(Day 3)
"You look totes cute in that bra, girl!" Garla, dressed in lacy, purple lingerie, her green, smooth skin pressed against Robin's feminized form, coos with long arms wrapped around Robin's curving torso, lifting up Robin's newly budded chest as they stand in front of Raven's full body mirror.
"You look good in yellow, girl. Real good." Garla giggles.
Robin blushes, his hair more like a pixie cut than spiky, his chin pinned, his cheeks dimpled, his hips widened, his butt starting to round in shape.
"I feel ridiculous."
"You look sexy." Garla assures. "Starfire is gonna eat you up! Speaking of Star..." Garla holds a pair of frilly red panties, causing Robin's jaw to drop. "She gonna go wild when she sees you in these, girl!"
(Day 5)
"I lost a foot in height." Robin complains in a high pitched tone as he holds hands with tall alien amazon.
"You are the fun sized!" Starfire giggles as they walk happily down the park. Her green eyes focused on Robin's adorable red and yellow striped pencil skirts, his wides hips being forced to sway as his dainty feet tap loudly in yellow heels.
A skill Robin is slowly mastering, an obstacle which makes holding hands with Kori all the more necessary.
"... It's shrinking too." Robin frowns.
"What is?" Starfire asks, uncertain what Robin is referring to.
"You know my..." Robin points at his crotch.
"... Oh... Oh!" Starfire looks excited.
Robin starts to blush.
"I cannot wait to see how it looks." Starfire grins. "Please, let me know immediately."
... Robin was conflicted. He hated what was happening to his body, yet, he also loved the attention he got from Starfire.
"This is crazy." Robin continues to sigh.
(Day 7)
"This is crazy!" Robin, naked body out and proud, her breasts flopping wildly as a strap-on thrusts inside her newly acquired lady parts. "Gaaaah!" Robin bites her plumped lips. "This is incredible! Gaaah!"
Picture a Ellen Page with hair dyed a vibrant pink, with orange, shapely legs wrapped Alden's her hips slender neck. Picture her naval pierced with the Tamaranian solar system in silver, dangling as her trim belly glistens with sweat.
That is Starfire's girlfriend. A girl who loves getting making her pussy a batcave in dire need of the bat mobile!

"Oh, Raven, I must thank you for the glorious gift!" Starfire burst into Raven's room, where Raven was reading. "This TG pop is truly the greatest! Robin is the cutest now, such the most adorable doll! I did not know that anyone could be so much the cutest!"
"Ah, sure, Star," Raven said. "Glad you -- WHOA!"
She stared at the gigantic orange strap-on bobbing up and down on Starfire's crotch. It looked a foot long. It looked like a club!
"Oh, do you like my newest Robin-pleaser?" Starfire asked. She flapped the strap-on and giggled as it bobbed back and forth.
"It's gigantic!" Raven gasped.
"Yes, Robin looked so much the sexiest shrieking as she bounced up and down on the orange sex tool that I thought it would be nice to make the shrieking a little louder, the bouncing a little harder." Starfire giggled. "I want to be reminding Robin who is wearing the pants, because Robin is not wearing the pants."
"Um, you're not just supposed to just be walking around with it like this."
"But I want to be wearing it when I see Robin, so that she does the blushing and the squeaking when she sees it, which is the cutest."
* * *
"Ummm, whoa!" Robin swayed and tried to steady herself.
"I thought you're supposed to be so agile," Garla snickered.
"I'm not used to this," Robin whined.
She was trying to walk in ridiculous tall transparent platform heels. Starfire had said that Robin had gotten so "fun-sized" that she needed to find a way to get a little height. It was so embarrassing to walk in these stripper heels. Robin wondered when she could stop taking the TG cola, but whenever she brought it up with Starfire, Star would ask just a little longer, and then massage Robin's bubble-butt like it was dough, and squeeze and stroke her tits, and pinch her huge fat nipples, and it made Robin moan so much. And then Starfire would gently push Robin down and make her squeal.
"Uhhhh!" Robin whimpered.
"You okay, girlfriend?" Garla asked.
"Mmhh," Robin blushed.
Then the Titan alarm went off.
"OOOOO! Danger!" Robin yelped.
* * *
Starfire and Raven were getting ready for the mission. They looked up as Beast Girl and Robin clattered in on their platform heels.
"Where are you going?" Starfire asked.
"The mission," Robin said.
"Mission?" Starfire put her hands on her hips. "Look at yourself, Robin. You are the delicate flower now! So small and soft. You must stay here where it is safe."
"But...."

Without warning, Robin's bubble butt is slapped. HARD.
Robin yelps, quickly biting her Lowe lip with a look of surprise on her face.
"Do not be ridiculous, my girlfriend!" Starfire wags her finger.
Robin's heart races, being called Star's girlfriend was oddly exciting.
"You cannot go on missions anymore! What if you get hurt?!"
Robin sighs, feeling strangely happy about Starfire's newly acquired overprotective nature.
"Star, I'll be fine, I just... GAHH!"
Starfire once again spanks Robin's plump booty! The slap a loud fleshy sound that causes an enticing ripple.
"No buts, missy, or I will be spanking your butt once again!"
"Fine." Robin submits.
"Good." Starfire smiles. "Now, why don't you..."

"Now, why don't you go and tidy up the Titan Tower?" Starfire asked.
"Tidy?" Robin blushed. "But what about the mission?"
"We already established that you are too much the petite and adorable to go on missions anymore," Starfire said sternly, her hands on her hips.
"B-but I can still help!" Robin said. "I could monitor from here, help to coordinate...."
"Silly Robin!" Starfire laughed. "You know Cyborg is hooked up to the Internet. He has eyes everywhere. He is doing the monitoring. That is his job. You and Beast Girl? Why don't you make this place nice for when we get home."
"But--"
"Robin, I will not allow you to be acting the brat," Starfire said. "You will behave yourself otherwise you be getting the spanking of the butt again. Are you wanting that?"
"No," Robin pouted, rubbing her red tender booty.
"Good! Then, get to work. Byeeeeee, and I am loving you!"
Starfire waved as she and the rest of the team flew away.
"It's not fair," Robin pouted. She continued to rub her butt as she shuffled away.
Garla licked her lips with her long beast tongue as she watched Robin slump off. Robin sure had a big tasty bum! Beast Girl would love to have some fun with that! And those titties! What would it be like to just start motorboating them?
Garla giggled and rubbed her legs together. Fuck, Robin was so hot now! Garla remembered how turned on she'd been back when she was a guy, of girls making out together, hugging each other so tight that their tits squished together. Then they did a hot scissoring.
Now Garla could scissor! She giggled and felt herself get moist. Fuck, she felt so damn hawt. If Garla could fuck herself, she would. Of course she'd do the cleaning, but maybe they'd also have some time to make out together....
* * *
"Oh dear, oh dear," Starfire tutted as she, Raven, and Cyborg arrived.
Gizmo and Mammoth were trashing downtown Jump City for some reason. Such naughty boys.
"Friend Raven, I think perhaps we should be talking about a new program for dealing with troublesome boys."
"Oh?"
"Perhaps after some TG pop, they will not be so troublesome, yes?"

"... I mean... I don't know, guys... is-is this ethical?" Cyborg questions as they tower above a tied up Gizmo and Mammoth.
It's been a weird month for Cyborg. Two of his teammate's gender swapped, the sexual nature of the tower on the rise. Victor's been trying to ignore it... as best he could. Has he had some fun now and then with Beast Girl? Occasionally. Has he enjoyed Robin's big fat bubble butt in red shorts? More than he's proud of! But this...
"Look around, Cyborg." Raven waves her hands slowly around all the property damage two villains caused. The rubble on the ground, flipped cars on fire, shattered glasses, and occasional hand poking out of a pile of rocks. "Is this working? Has this ever worked? What does putting these guys in jail really do? Let them rest so they can do it all over again!"
"It is the flawed system, friend Cyborg." Starfire chimes in, holding a pink can of TG Pop.
"Look, it was one thing with Beast Boy and Robin. They consented." Cyborg reasons.
"And look how much better they are now." Raven wickedly grins. "The solution is obvious, girl power."
Cyborg frowns. This is insane. Is this what the Titans are becoming?
"So, what's it going to be, Victor? Will you help us make a better world?" Raven asks as Starfire hands Cyborg the can.
The action was unspoken. Will Cyborg force that liquid down two bad guy's throat... or will he leave The Titans?

"OOooo, very good, friend Cyborg!" Starfire clapped her hands as Cyborg made Mammoth swallow the TG pop.
"Yes, very good," Raven said. "I'm sure a certain slutty green friend will give you a big wet thank you."
"W-what?" Cyborg blushed.
"Come on, I know how you look at that hot green ass," Raven said. "Honestly, I think it's pretty sexy to imagine Garla choking on your big black dick."
"Yes, I think Robin would look the cutest sucking on your big throbby balls," Starfire said.
"B-but--"
"We just think it would be nice to see our girlfriends get the big meat cock," Starfire said. "And you are the best one to do it."
"But anyway, we can talk about it later," Raven said. "Let's deal with these new minted bimbos."
* * *
Robin had found a frilly apron and oven mitts she was humming to herself as she put muffins in the oven.
She hoped Starfire would like them.
"Hey, sexy baby." Garla slapped Robin's ass.
"OOOO!" She squealed. "Garla, you almost made me drop the muffins!"
"Not hungry for muffins," the green girl grinned. "I want some cantaloupes! She grabbed Robin's breasts, causing her to squeal again.
"OoooO! You naughty thing!"

Her slender green arms wrapped around Robin, her big, jiggly breasts squishing Robin's back, both their hearts racing, their pores perspiring, things heat up faster and faster as Garla starts rubbing Robin's nipples in a counterclockwise motion.
The nipples getting hard, Robin bites her lip, excited, her eyes widen as Garla blows at her ear.
"You like that, mama?" Galra giggles, suddenly, with her thumbs, giving Robin a tight twisting pinch!
Robin yelps.
"You like that, mama?!" Garla repeats herself.
Robin can't belief her life these days. Being a female, being Star's girlfriend, playing these kinky games with a feminized Beast Boy. WHY WAS IT SO ENJOYABLE?!
"Gaaah!" Robin yelps, her panties feeling hot as Garla once again goes for a good twisting pinch!
"Come on, mama, tell me you want this!" Garla demands. "Tell me you wanna pet my kitten!" Garla meows loudly.
Robin...

"Ooooo, Garla," Robin whined.
"C'mon, Robbie!" Garla twisted her nipples again. "Oooo, listen to you squeal! When did you become such a wimp?"
"Nnnnnno, I'm not a w-wimp!" Robin whimpered.
"C'mon, Robin!" Garla twisted the nipples again.
Robin whimpered. She was a wimp. Even Garla was tougher than her. She was just a wimp to be spanked by Starfire and teased by Beast Girl. It was so mean. And also kinda sexy.
"Ooooo, you okay, Robin?" Garla ran her hands over Robin's stomach, causing her to moan.
Then Garla ran her tongue up Robin's chest.
"Mmm, come on, mama," Beast Girl purred.
She squeezed Robin's bubble butt, causing the former leader to moan louder.
"Gimme some sugar, honey," Garla cooed as she licked Robin's chin.
"Uhhhhhhh, Beast Girl," Robin whimpered.
"You horny, sweetie?"
"Uhhhhhh...."
"Say you wanna licked my snatch."
"B-but...."
"Say it, baby."

Her tongue up a green snatch, licking the relatively new downstairs Garla acquired with a nervous slurp, Robin, at that very moment, feeling like a Catholic School Girl sexually experimenting, has come to the realization this is her new life.
Fucking. Pleasing. And more Fucking!
"Yeah, right there, mama, right there!" Garla purrs, fingers now on her own green nipples. She twists and tugs with delights as Robin clicks at just the right spot!
"This is what you were born for, mama!" Garla asserts. "Put that mouth to use! Yeah!"

"Ooooo, good thing Starfire got you these handlebars," Garla giggled as she yanked on Robins' pigtails. "Makes sense since you're the Tower bicycle now!"
"Mmggphhhh!" Robin tried to speak, but Garla was grinding her bright green snatch too much over the girl's mouth.
"We're just gonna keep on riding you, mama!" Garla laughed. "Yeahhh! Lick me! Lick meeeee! OHHHH! RRAAGGH! GRAAAWWRR!"
Beast Girl began to make a lot of beast sides. She howled like a dog, yowled like a cat, whinnied like a horse, all the while grinding further on Robin's face and yanking hard on her pigtails.
Robin moaned. Fucking. Pleasing. And more fucking. That was her life now. She was the Titans' bicycle, ridden by everybody. It was so hot!
Robin's body shuddered at the thought of being everyone's slutty girl toy, and she spurted her cum to Garla's amusement. Though Beast Girl didn't stop riding her face.

Chapter Two
Cyborg thrusts his big, meaty stick up Robin's ass, Garla wrapped around his back, nuzzling his sweaty neck, giggling with her long, dainty hands pawing at his shirtless chest.
"Come on, Victor, give mama some sugar!" Galra giggles, her bestie moaning with delight as her ass gets a powerful pounding.
Her exposed breasts jiggling with precision, her lower lip bit, getting reamed by Cyborg has become a joyful routine at this point.
... Still a pretty awkward situation for Victor.
"Come on, Victor, mama wants a turn! Mama wants a turn!" Garla playfully demands. Victor frowns. It sucked how different it's been lately. His free time was always fucking his former teammate.
Meanwhile, Starfire and Raven were...

Post by anzaleth on Dec 7, 2021 20:33:56 GMT
Starfire and Raven were flying back to Titan's Tower. Both of them had several unconscious supervillains slung over their shoulders.
"Oh, Friend Raven, these will be much nicer once we bring out the TG pop," Starfire said.
"Oh, sure, Star, sure."
"We are making so many of the cute busty bimbos," Starfire said. "Hopefully we can keep them occupied. Poor Cyborg is looking so tired."
It was true. The feminized sluts were so cock-hungry and Cyborg had the only meaty dick in the Tower, so it seemed like every time Raven was seeing him, some slut was stuffing his shaft down one of their howls.
"Indeed, it is the cutest to see Robin lick Cyborg's big love-stick like it is the lollipop," Starfire giggled. "And Robin makes the most adorable squeals when she is doing the bouncing up and down on his meat as he gives her the spanking of the buttcheeks. Truly Robin is the cutest little thing."
"She's certainly a big wimp," Raven smirked. "When Garla can make you eat her ass.... But maybe you're right, Star. We could have more dick at the Tower to feed these sluts."
"Perhaps Titans East could offer some solution?"
* * *
"Ohhhh fuck," Victor moaned as continued to pound Robin's ass. "Ohhhh, fuck!!"
"Uhhhh! UHHHHHHHH!" Robin moaned as she shook like a ragdoll. She was dressed in a porn parody of her old costume -- mask, cape, a tight red tank top with her logo, green panties now down her legs. "Uhhh! FucccckK! FUCCCCCCK! FUCKKKK MEEEEE!"
"OHHHH, Beast Girl, you slut!" Cyborg moaned
Garla cooed as she nuzzled and licked Cyborg's legs and caressed his ass. He was all man, all fucking man. Garla just wanted to worship this beautiful body.
"Fuckkkk your slut!" Robin whimpered. "Need it! Neeeeedd it! Neeeeed cockkkkkkkkk!" He drooled and slumbered, imagining sucking that magnificent shaft again.
"Robin?"
Robin turned to see Barbara Gordon there.
"Oohhh!" Robin whimpered. Her seeing Cyborg fuck Robin's slutty ass just made it hotter. Her seeing Robin bounce on this big dick like the silly bimbo slut she was. "Barbaraaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Robin came.
* * *
"Oh, dear, I forgot that I invited Barbara Gordon over," Starfire said as they arrived at the Tower.
"Oh?"
"Yes. I think that the Batman may be causing trouble some time. Maybe he would not approving of our methods. I think that can be dealt with... in a way that will not be hurting anyone."
"I suppose," Raven said. "It could -- heyyyy!"
She pointed at the preposterous figure there, who whimpered.
"M-Mistress!" Gizmo moaned.
The TG pop on Gizmo had made his tits and ass balloon out to a truly ridiculous degree. His tits looked bigger than his head, and his ass.... Raven had heard Beast Boy call this sort of person a "shortstack." That's certainly what Gizmo was -- all tits and ass, still really short. The former villain was dressed in a lacy, sexy French maid's costume, complete with fishnet stockings and fuck-me stilettoes. Gizmo was supposed to be keeping things clean, but Raven and Starfire had found the maid on the floor, sucking on the handle of one duster while stuffing the other up her ass.
"You horny little whore-goblin!" Raven snapped. The TG pop had given Gizmo such a riduclously high libido, it seemed the slut could barely do anything but fuck. "Bad Gizmo!"
