Balloon Bliss

*Sal tries to stay calm*

Sal (thought): OK...we can handle this...

Shima: just...back...to normal...soze

*Sal glows*

*she returns to a puffier but more manageable size*

*Sal smiles*

Sal: OK, so I can handle this, but I'm still blimpy, so I can keep them occupied while you focus on the deblimping.

Shima: *is out cold, her powers having taken their toll*

*Sal gulps*

Sal: Oh crud.

Anty: oh dear

*Sal thinks about this*

Sal: I'll try and deflate the others, you work on waking her up.

Anty: we may need to consider other ways too. I dont like putting her through such chaotic strain

*Sal nods*

Sal: Well, you let me know when you come up with something.

*Sal floats off*

Anty; right

*Sal floats as she sees the other heroes all floating in the sky, all giggling*

Sally: she got all of them

*Sal takes a deep breath*

Sal (thought): OK, need to play the role here.

Sal: Hee hee hee. Being blimpy is superfun!

Van: it is!

*Sal floats over*

Sal: I just want to hug you all!

Lilith: sallys back

*Sal grabs Van and squeezes hard*

Sal: Yeah, you're so big and balloony!

Van: oomph!

Lilith: hey!

*Sal laughs*

Sal: Big squishy hugs for everyone!

*they all creak*

*Sal giggles*

Sal (thought): That's it, time to squeeze the air out of them!

Lilith: *looms over sally* youre doin something funny here

*Sal giggles trying to hide it*

Sal: Yes...a big...funny...silly hug!
