You couldn't do anything but watch as Olivia’s hand moved toward her mouth, and for a brief moment, you thought you were about to be eaten along with the popcorn. But just as her lips parted, you managed to squirm out of her grasp and slammed back down into the cupholder below. The fall flattened you against the plastic, leaving you stuck as you began the slow process of reforming.
Mackenzie, who had been watching the entire ordeal accidentally let a sly smirk fall upon her face, she said nothing knowing better than to draw attention to you, especially since Olivia was unaware of what had just happened. Instead, she leaned back in her seat, clearly enjoying the fact that you were temporarily out of commission.
The next 30 minutes were agonizing. You lay there, flattened and helpless, as the movie played on. Olivia and Mackenzie continued to pass the popcorn between them, the movie continuing to hold Olivia's attention so she never noticed you still flattened to the cupholder. Mackenzie, on the other hand, couldn't help but continuously glance down at you, her smirk growing wider every time she caught your eye. It was clear she was enjoying every second of your misery.
Finally, just as you began to regain your shape, Olivia leaned over and whispered to Mackenzie, “I’m so thirsty. Do you think we could grab some drinks?”
Mackenzie’s eyes lit up with an idea. “Of course, Liv! I’ll go get us something. Be right back!” She shot you a quick, mischievous glance before slipping out of her seat and heading out of the screen back towards the counter.
You groaned internally. Mackenzie was up to something, and you had a sinking feeling it wasn’t going to end well for you. Sure enough, five minutes later, she returned with two large cups of soda. She handed one to Olivia with a sweet smile, keeping the other for herself.
“Thanks, Mack! You’re the best,” Olivia said, taking a sip of her drink. She sighed contentedly, her attention fully on the movie now.
Then, without a second thought, Olivia placed her cup in the cupholder, the same cupholder you were still reforming in. The weight of the cup came down on you like a ton of bricks, flattening you completely between it and the hard plastic. You let out a silent scream as the pressure intensified, your body squished into an impossibly thin layer between the cup and the cupholder.
Mackenzie, of course, noticed everything. She leaned over slightly, grabbing Olivia's attention to make sure she didn't remember you, “This soda is really good right? a little expensive but you get what you paid for.” you could practically hear the laughter in her voice, but the tone escaped Olivia as she agreed and her mind went back to the movie, paying you no attention.
You wanted to shout, to protest, to do something, but you were completely stuck. Although it didn't matter as your mouth was also completely flattened which would stop you from shouting anyway. All you could do was endure the crushing pressure and hope Olivia would eventually notice your absence. But knowing Olivia, that might take a while.
As the movie continued, Olivia occasionally reached for her drink, lifting the cup and giving you a brief moment of relief before setting it back down and crushing you all over again. Each time, Mackenzie would glance over, her smirk growing wider. It was clear she was enjoying every second of your torment.
By the time the movie ended, you were thoroughly flattened and exhausted. Olivia finally stood up, stretching her arms and yawning. “That was such a good movie!"
Mackenzie also stood up, her mind working overtime to try and keep Olivia from remembering you so she could enjoy the day without your irritating presence, "You think? I didn't really like it that much, anything staring a tiny as a main character I usually try to avoid, but I did like that he was squished and pretty much not in the movie that much. Anyway, I'm getting a little hungry, you wanna go and check out that cafe that just opened in town?" Olivia happily agreed as she picked up the now empty soda, you stuck to the bottom of the cup as she lifted it and swore, you tried to rip yourself free with no luck, all you could do was hope Olivia's brain finally worked and remembered you before she threw the cup and you into the trash.
Does she remember you?
