CLANG!
“Eep! D-Did you hear that?! M-Maybe we should forget about this a-and turn around, Lilith?” The blonde-haired girl stuttered as she held onto her companion’s arm in a fierce deathlock.
“Come on, Maria, you know why we're here. This might be our only chance if we want to stay together.” The blue-haired teen softly cupped her friend’s face with the fake confidence in her voice masking her own fear.
Rarely do you see a more dissimilar pair of girls together. Lilith Apfelbaum was wild, social and you never knew exactly what was going on in her head. The free spirit wore her dyed hair in a shaved sidecut and barely owned a piece of clothing without any intentional rips and tears (not counting underwear) to show off as much skin as possible. Even if her tomboyish figure didn't have much worth showing off for. All in all, she was the last person you could imagine with someone like Maria Dieu. Said girl was raised strictly catholic by her old-fashioned parents and it showed. Her long blonde hair was perfectly straight and thick glasses and loose clothing hid sky blue eyes and a voluptuous figure that Lilith once fittingly described as “truly blessed by god”.
Despite that she recently came to realize her own homosexuality and, more importantly, the crush she had on the girl that was her friend and neighbor since they could think. Thankfully Lilith reciprocated her feelings and for a moment Maria was the happiest girl on earth. Unfortunately it didn't go that well when telling her parents and it ended with them blaming Lilith for tempting their daughter and forbid them from seeing each other.
For that reason they were currently in this part of town in the middle of the night looking for the rumored Dr. Vergunstien, who could hopefully offer them a solution to their problem.
They entered the seemingly empty warehouse and took a careful look around. Just when they considered turning back, the door suddenly slammed shut, startling the two girls.
“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” said a female voice with a german accent. Out of the shadows stepped a girl in a lab coat, who appeared to be around the age as Maria and Lilith. She looked almost like a normal girl, if it wasn't for a big stitched scar going vertically through the middle of her face and probably her whole body, as one site had pale, almost white, skin and the other was tanned. Similarly her hair that was done in pigtails was red on one side and blue on the other. “What do you want from me, Dr. Vergunstien?”
Lilith opened her mouth to answer, but was surprised when Maria beat her to the answer. “Dr. Vergunstien… we beg you, please… stitch us together!”
The doctor seemed intrigued as she motioned for the two to follow her deeper into the facility. They expected everything to be in the next room they entered… except for a fully furnished living room. They took a seat on the comfortable couch and waited until their host returned a few minutes later with tea.
“That's quite a bold request you have. I’m curious, why would two young girls such as you freely offer themselves to someone with a reputation like mine,” she asked her guests after taking a sip.
What followed was Maria and Lilith telling the doctor their story up to the current day. “And when I overheard my parents considering moving away ‘for my sake’, I knew we had to do something. And if my parents don't allow us to be connected through the holy bond of the church, then we decided that we’ll just find a way to be connected even closer. And that's why we came here. Please, doctor, make us truly inseparable,” Maria finished.
Lilith took Maria's hand into hers. “I can't imagine life without Maria. Even if you make us part of some weird experiment of yours, as long as we're together we can manage.”
The doctor looked at them with large tears collecting in her eyes. “I’ll help you, definitely. Your story is so beautiful, I can feel my heart stop… literally.” She fell out of her seat and landed on the ground, unmoving.
Maria and Lilith just sat there and continued to watch the doctor’s body lying on the ground, both too shocked by the whole situation to move or even react. Their stupor was only broken, when a door opened and… the doctor walked in? This new girl looked exactly like the doctor, but on second look they noticed that her colors were different. She was dark-skinned on one side and the other had an asian skin-tone, while her hair was green and magenta respectively.
“Don't mind her, she's got some problems handling too much adorableness. She’ll be alright,” said this new doctor, while pointing at her counterpart on the ground. Even her voice was the same, though she sounded slightly more gruff. “Well, she already promised you to help her and I happen to have a free schedule right now. So, let's do it.” The doctor motioned for them to follow her again. Maria and Lilith looked into each others’ eyes and gave determined nods before following her, still hand-in-hand.
The next steps went by very fast. The friends were led into an unexpectedly spotless and high-tech operation room. They were told to undress, which Lilith did immediately, while Maria needed another confidence boost before she could reveal her well-shaped body to the others. Lying down on two cold metal tables their next surprise was to see the doctor undressing herself, too. Not only was she completely naked under the lab coat (and smooth, Lilith noted), she had three additional pairs of arms coming out of her two-toned torso. “Ready to start the operation,” she announced as she placed the masks on their faces.
Maria and Lilith gave another one last meaningful look. “See you on the other side, Maria.”
“I love you, Lilith.”
“Love you, too.” Lilith took Maria's right hand into her left and held it tightly until the sedation started to work and both fell into unconsciousness at the same time.
The doctor stopped for a moment before starting. The girls hadn't specified how they wanted to be stitched together… eh, this just meant she had free reign to do with them what she wanted.
