"Ask those cheerleaders for help. Over there." Jacob pointed at the six cheerleaders that had been fused into a single, currently nude, body, almost like Voltron. "You know them, right?"
The woman he was fused to wiped away her tears. "Yeah, I'm on the team with them. Maybe they'll know something."
With that, his body-mate stood up and walked over to where the six cheerleaders were still practicing to walk.
"Hey, its Katie!" shouted the woman with her face on the right ass cheek.
"Oh my god, Katie! You're OK! We were looking for you!" The cheerleader occupying the left ass cheek shouted. "Oh, and you got merged to someone too!"
Katie chuckled nervously as the women's faces on the fused women's shoulder and head turned to looked at them. "Yeah, I went to get water, so I guess we got fused together. This is..." Katie trailed off, realizing we had never exchanged names.
"Jacob." Jacob finished her sentence. "And what are your names?"
"We've just been calling each other what part of the body we are. I've been Left Leg, Right Leg here has helped me hold the body up, then there's Left Arm, Right Arm, Chest, and Head." Left Leg explained.
"It just makes everything simpler." Left Arm chimed in. "It got hard to remember who controlled what, but this way we work much better as a team."
Jacob looked incredulous but didn't push the matter further.
"Alright, I can remember that." Jacob responded. "Do you know what happened. Or how to fix it?"
The body in front of them turned around and Head looked down at them. "We've been trying to learn how to walk and bend over so we can pick up our phones. Over there. But we have been falling a lot. We've been a team for a long time, but we haven't been able to complete this challenge."
"I have a phone!" Katie interrupted. "I can look it up." Katie started typing on her phone, right in front of Jacob's face. She opened twitter and started scrolling through her timeline.
"Oh my god! I'm stuck to my teacher! #badday #GreatFusionWave". The tweet was accompanied by a selfie of an early twenties woman conjoined with a much older woman, who looked rather unhappy.
"@AlexJones was right the whole time! Bill Gates and his covid vaccines caused all of this!" The included picture showed a bunch of people fused together in different configurations in a mall.
"WTF, my roommate turned into my dick... #GreatFusionWave". Jacob felt relieved there wasn't a picture for this one.
Katie kept scrolling and scrolling, and the Great Fusion Wave was all anyone talked about. It seemed to hit every country, every person. No one had avoided it.
"Um, guys... I checked Twitter and everything is about people being fused together. They're calling it the Great Fusion Wave."
Chest spoke up, a twinge of hope in her voice. "Well, they said how to fix it. Right?"
Katie shook her head.
