"There you are, I've been looking for you!" the woman with the clipboard told the girls when she found them in the hallway outside of the kitchen.

"We were helping Eddie!" Mei answered.

"I see, I bet you had a lot of fun, then!" she said, smiling. She seemed a lot less scary now than when they had first met, Mei thought. "I just wanted to ask you if you two are okay with sharing a room together? We planned to have everyone in single rooms tonight, but it seems like you two are getting along so I thought that you might want to share?" The two girls looked at each other for a moment, but didn't need to discuss anything between themselves before they knew their answer.

"We'd be happy to share," Mei said happily.

"Excellent! Do you want to head to your room right away?"

"We're on our way to the workshop now, but maybe after that?"

"Sure, just come to the reception when you're ready, there won't be any guests tonight so you can walk around as much as you like!" The woman smiled at them and walked away quickly while scribbling down notes on her clipboard. With the big feast getting closer by the hour, she was a busy woman.

"How nice is that?" Mei said. "I'm looking forward to spending a night with you!"

Heidi smiled. "I feel the same way," she said. Both girls felt butterflies in their tummies as they made their way towards the workshop.

The workshop was easy to identify by the big, red sign over the wooden door, simply spelling "Workshop" in the Sidney's chain signature font. Mei knocked three times then entered in her usual, brisk manner. Inside was a large room, with rows of metal shelves and tables filling up most of the space. Lots of different metal tools lay around, everything from knives and scalpels to bone-saws could be found. On one table lay a row of small hands, on another a row of heads. The room had a peculiar smell, a bit like fresh girl-meat but sweeter, not too different form the smell of new leather.

"Hello there, ladies!" a middle aged, friendly-looking man called out to them, sitting behind a table with the severed head of a blonde girl in his lap. "What can I help you with?"

"We're looking for a friend!" Mei said. "A-a dead one, that is," she added, seeing the man's puzzled expression.

"Aah, that's good. This place rarely sees visits from living girls! Who is it you're looking for?"

"Her name's Suki, a Japanese girl. She got beheaded earlier today, and I was wondering if I could have a last look at her head," Heidi said. It felt weird talking about her friend like that, like she was an object, but she couldn't think of what other way to put it.

"Yes, I do remember working on an asian girl earlier today, I'll have a look in the back. Anyone else you're looking for?"

"Yeah, an Indian girl. What was her name again?" Mei asked, looking towards Heidi.

"Padma," she said.

"Oh, I just finished her half an hour ago. I'll be back in a minute, just have a look around in the meantime." the man said, leaving through a door into the back room. The girls looked around for a minute, before something caught their attention. On one of the tables sat what looked like the kind of sex doll to only feature a girl's crotch and the surrounding area, but they seemed very real. The 'dolls' had been cut off right below the navel, and right below the bum. The ends were covered with a pink, silicon-like substance. Mei reached out and touched the lower abdomen of one of the 'dolls'.

"Wow," she said, amazed, "it feels just like real skin!" Heidi was just about to touch the other one when the man returned, carrying two familiar heads under his arms.

"I see you've taken an interest in our latest prototype!" he said, placing the heads down on the table.

"What is it, exactly?" Mei asked.

"Well, I won't cover it up, it's basically a sex toy," he said. "It's made from real girls, a pair of twins to be exact, a bit older than you are. I think they were fifteen, if I remember correctly."

"Why twins?" Heidi asked.

"Well, we've had a lot of demand for a toy like that for quite some time, but the problem is that it wastes some of the best meat on a girl. So, we made two versions, one using our signature method of preserving the original flesh using a special, chemical solution, like we use on the heads. The other is made with mostly artificial materials, except for the skin covering the legs, butt and tummy. The vulva is completely replaced by an artificial one, which is made from a cast of the real girl's. The muscle has been replaced by a gel, similar in consistence to real flesh. I think it came out decently well, given the circumstances, but it's far from the real deal.

"You can see here," he said turning the dolls so that their bottoms were facing them, "the shape of the butt is a little off, and it isn't as soft." He gestured with his hands, signaling to the girls that they were allowed to feel for themselves. "The real one if on the left," he said. The girls had to agree, the left one felt more like the real thing, and had a more appealing shape overall.

"The biggest issue, though, can be found here," he said, while he turned the dolls around and spread their legs apart. "The artificial vulva, while similar in appearance, doesn't feel the same. All the little details, the bumps and nooks and small irregularities, no matter how we try we can't seem to get them right." The girls agreed, while the real one felt almost like a real vagina, the other felt clearly artificial. "Besides, you can see where the fake vagina meets the real skin. Despite our best efforts, I must unfortunately conclude that it is an inferior product."

"What about the real one? Won't that be a success?"

"I don't think so. I mean, you can only do this to meat girls, and what's the point of cooking a girl if you're going to waste her best meat? Besides, we are barely allowed to sell the heads and hands as it is. Meat girls aren't sex toys, you know, so this might not be allowed at all. For now, it's just a curiosity."

Heidi imagined her own body as a toy. In her thoughts, she saw a man taking her from a shelf somewhere, stroking her thighs and her butt before spreading her legs, easing a finger into her hole while unzipping his pants, unleashing his big, hard dick. He'd thrust into her as hard as he'd like; after all a dead girl can't protest. Heidi felt a throbbing in her pussy as it prepared itself for what she imagined happening to her. She desperately wanted to experience some of that, and luckily she knew a guy who might be interested. She'd have to find a way.

Shaken from her daydream by Mei's finger poking her side, the man and two girls made their way over to the items they were there to see.

"We've made them both into happy endings, after all they are the ones who sell the best." Heidi inspected the two heads, and she was surprised by how lifelike they were. It looked as if they were simply sleeping, their eyes closed and lips slightly smiling. "The process of making them is quite simple, we just remove the soft tissue, like the brain and the tongue, and insert a weight into the head and attach a new, silicon tongue so that it still feels realistic. Then we use some special chemicals one the rest of the skin, hair and flesh and they're done!" The man was telling them a very simplified version, of course, but there was no point telling them more than they needed to know.

"How do you, you know, use them?" Mei asked.

"Well, you open their mouth like so," he said and pulled on their chins until their mouths opened. When he put them down again their mouths were still gaping. "The old models used to just be gaping all the time, but I think this is a far more elegant solution. if you want, you can use them both as a trophy and as 'entertainment'," he said with a wink. "You can also open their eyes, like so," he said and gently adjusted the eyelids, revealing the glass eyes underneath. The color of the eyes was slightly off, but Heidi figured that only close friends and family would be able to tell.

"They're beautiful!" Heidi said honestly. She took a moment to once again think about her recent reminiscence with her friends.

"And sexy!" Mei shot in, giggling.

"That's true!," Heidi agreed."Do you think I'll make a good 'happy ending'?" she asked the man.

"Absolutely! Both of you would. Are you considering it?" he asked them.

"Well, Mei can't, because she's going to be served with her head on! But I'm thinking about it, I'll be live cooked but Eddie said that they could behead me after I cook for a while."

"It's your decision, but I'd be honored to work on you. I could display you alongside your friends, maybe even sell you together as a package to one very lucky person! You're very beautiful, both of you!" the man said. Heidi blushed. Her friends would see plenty of action long after they were gone, so why shouldn't she? Heidi decided to think about it a bit more, though deep inside her mind was already made up.

"We'd better get going now, but thanks for letting us see the girls again!" Mei said.

"My pleasure," the man answered. "Say hello to Eddie from me!" he added, giving the girls a little wave of his hand as they walked out of the room, leaving him alone. "Well girls," he said to the two inanimate heads on the table, vacantly gazing into the distance, their sweet, pink mouths still open. "How about a little test ride?"

Heidi and Mei found their way to their room after stopping by the reception. While there they ordered some food, realizing that they hadn't had anything to eat for since lunch, and by the time they reached their rooms the sun was already setting. They checked out the room for a bit, but found little of note since it was almost identical to the rooms they had previously stayed in. After only a couple of minutes the food arrived, and once again the meal consisted of pizza and ice cream, but neither girl was protesting!

"I could use a shower," Heidi said after they had finished off the last of the sweet, vanilla ice cream. The girls looked at each other for a brief moment.

"Together?" Mei asked.

"Together!" Heidi replied.
