    Lacey Ramirez, a young Cuban woman with a burning desire to be a belly dancer, found herself working at a scientific research facility, handling a bizarre substance called flubber.

    Despite her passion for dance, Lacey lacked the necessary talent. However, her job at the research facility presented an unexpected opportunity. She planned to steal some flubber, hoping it could aid her dancing.

    Lacey returned home with a small portion of flubber. She admired the gelatinous mass, feeling a mix of fear and excitement. She swallowed the flubber, instantly feeling it land in her belly.

    Suddenly, flubber started bouncing inside her, causing her midsection to jiggle uncontrollably. Lacey blushed, feeling ticklish, yet she couldn't help but giggle at the sensation.

    With flubber bouncing inside her, Lacey stood in front of her mirror, watching her belly move in rhythm. She laughed as she attempted to follow the movements, her hands tracing the outline of her midriff.

    The tickles were pleasant and exciting. She found herself dancing, swaying her hips in time with the flubber's movements. It was the most fun she'd ever had practicing.

    Weeks later, Lacey entered a dance competition. As the flubber bounced inside her, she began to dance with newfound rhythm and grace. The audience watched in awe as she moved effortlessly across the stage.

    However, she knew that she couldn't rely on flubber forever. She had to find a way to dance beautifully without its aid. The journey was far from over.
