Please start with Parts 1 through 6, and 7. Many events in this chapter won't make any sense unless you know how the characters got here.
Summary so far: Andrea is a witch. She casts her spells by wiggling her clitoris instead of her nose. She doesn't always like the consequences of her craft, and it's time she did something about it.

Andrea awoke with sun streaming through a crack in her curtains. Elfman slept with one of his gangly arms draped over her hip. It was probably a twitch of his morning wood that interrupted her dream.
"Elfman." She ground her ass against his wood. "Elfman, are you awake?"
"Mmmm. I wasn't."
"I had a dream."
"So did I," Elfman mumbled.
"I've never had one like this before. You'll like it. It frightens me, but you'll like it!"
Elfman propped himself on an elbow and his eyes scanned down the short length of her naked form.
"Elfman?"
"Yes."
"I dreamed that I straddled your flesh wand. I lowered myself onto you. I dreamed about making love with you."
"I dream about that every night and half the day." Elfman wiped sleep from his eyes.
"Elfman?" She still lay with her back to him. "You smell nice."
"Um, thanks?" He cupped a hand in front of his mouth and tried to smell his own breath.
"Not that. You smell like cuddles. You smell like you love me."
"Can you smell that?"
"Apparently. Am I wrong?"
"You might be right."
"OK. Go home then. That's all I wanted to know."
"What?"
"I told you I'd never have a roommate again. This is the second time you've slept all night here."
"It is? Wait, once was on the floor. That doesn't count."
"Go away. I'll wear the magic wand bullet this evening. Surprise me later."
"Awww. I'm still asleep."

With her room to herself again, Andrea considered opening the curtains that Elfman had closed sometime during the night. That boy is so squeamish about being seen naked. She evidently decided she didn't need the tiny extra thrill she might get knowing anybody could be watching what she did. She left the curtains alone.
Andrea almost started masturbating in the shower on auto-pilot, but she caught herself. When she was fresh, she lit a candle and stood in the center of her dimly lit room. She adopted a stance with her feet far apart. Then she slowly lowered herself by bending her knees and leaning forward for balance. She mimed her dream motions. Her lips parted as if there really was the glans of a penis between them.
She had never even used a dildo. She had no basis to imagine what she felt. It seemed for all the world like the head of Elfman's penis pressed at her threshold. It pressed against the resistance of a muscular pelvic floor. Andrea lingered in that impractical pose with her core hovering above air. Then she mimed the act of impaling herself on his entire length. She rocked herself in that impossible pose. The invisible man below her must have surrendered control to Andrea's body. Her muscles contracted pulling forth the man's seed. Her body wrung every possible last drop out of him.
Andrea repeated the sequence several times. It felt almost real. It felt almost right. By lunch time, her legs were tired and her clitoris throbbed. There was an expanding puddle on her floor. Her whole body craved new sensations. For Andrea, arousal and orgasm had always been solo endeavors. She was not above using a boy toy for inspiration. She was not above using a boy toy just because her hand was tired. When a man put his mouth between her legs, she viewed it as masturbating against his tongue. The man was a prop. The man was eye candy. The man hardly mattered. If the man wasn't there, she'd give herself all she needed without him. For the first time, there was a void. It was an Elfman shaped void. A look of self realization mixed with horror on her face.

"Elfman," Andrea called. "Where are you?" She walked deeper through the tropical room of of the arboretum. "Come out - come out - wherever you are." The buzz between her legs slowed to no more than an infuriating rattle. She had figured out Elfman's game of "warm" and "cold". She had to find him. If she headed the right way, the buzzing became faster. Just to me sure, she took a few more steps into the oppressive heat and humidity. "Nope," she said to herself aloud.
Back in the statuary corridor that connected the different biomes, she paused in front of a plaster cast of the life size David. "Hey Elfman," she shouted. The handful of people around her seemed to pay no attention. "Elfman! I found one smaller than yours. He has big hands, too." That observation caused a few heads to turn.
Elfman turned the frequency up and then down twice leaving it down. To test a dawning theory, Andrea shouted, "Do you want to make a side by side comparison?" A pair of old ladies stopped in their tracks near Andrea. "Oh, hi ladies," she said. "I'm sure he'll let you judge."
One of the ladies grinned. There was a smoldering furnace in there. Andrea smiled in return. Then she felt the buzz increase once and return to annoying mode. "One means no. Two means yes. Got it." She said it aloud to nobody in particular.
As Andrea passed a marble sculpture of a Bonsai tree, she called out: "Look out for Medusa. Not even the plants are safe." Buzz, Buzz, Buzz. Three means maybe?
After scanning the entire long corridor, the frequency never climbed above the irritation speed.
"Where are you?" Andrea posed with her hands on her hips and a fierce glare. Buzz. Buzz Buzz. "Can you see me?" Buzz Buzz Buzz. As loud as she could muster without straining, she called, "Want me to flash my titties?" Buzz. Buzz Buzz. "It's only good when you appreciate it. That felt non-committal."
Where could he be? She poked her head into every biome. She looked out every window. Utterly bewildered, she looked up to the heavens, and a sharp jolt of clitoris music made her squirm. "Up?" Nobody replied to her question. There was nothing up but sky seen through the greenhouse roofs.
"Up?"
Buzz. Buzz.
Back in the lobby by the restrooms and ticket counter, she spotted some narrow marble stairs blocked by a velvet rope. "Up?"
Buzz. Buzz.
Andrea plunged ahead squeezing herself between the rope and metal stand that supported one end. She trudged up. Around a 90 degree bend, the steps changed from marble to well worn wood. The steps continued turning 90 degrees every five treads. While she mounted those steps, the buzzing pitch increased. A narrow wooden door cracked open in front of her.
"Are you in there, Elfman?"
Buzz. Buzz.
"Don't turn it down now," she complained.
Beyond the door, a rickety iron catwalk was suspended from a glass ceiling by wires. "You better be here." She stepped out and found the platform pleasantly secure. As long as she advanced slowly, there was no sway, but her unlaced black combat boots produced a clank with every pace. Andrea looked down upon the desert South West biome. "Why didn't I see this from down there?"
Buzz Buzz Buzz. The jerk left the magic bullet on a low setting. Andrea rubbed her crotch through her over-large men's cargo-shorts. Women's shorts never have enough pockets. Some of them have fake pockets. Andrea once said she might change that fashion trend. It remained low on her to-do list. "OK. I'll head back if it's so 'cold' up here."
The sudden surge of tingles over her hot button made her stagger. "Gah! That's better. Where are you?"
Andrea wandered all the way through the South West, the North West, and finally into the African Savannah. The object of her quest sat cross legged, naked, on the catwalk among the branches of a tree the size of a house. Oblivious arboretum patrons milled around below them.
Elfman whispered, "Keep your voice low or we'll get kicked out - maybe arrested."
"How did you find this?"
"I wrote some software to control the environmental systems. I was up here for days testing things."
"Why could..." Andrea halted when Elfman covered her mouth with his hand.
"Shhhh." He waited a moment and then whispered, "They conceal the maintenance platforms with plants when they can. In some cases, the platform is just camouflaged and would jump out right before your eyes if you saw someone standing there. The water pipes and sprayers run along the bottoms. People think they are looking at pipes."
"Why did you bring us here?" Andrea complied with his "keep it low" hand gestures.
"I half expected you to stroll through the whole complex naked, and I wanted to see that." Elfman grinned.
"Ok" Andrea turned back the way she had come.
Elfman pulled her back to him with his hand wrapped around her belt where it slung low on her hip like Han Solo's light saber.
"I like your new clothes," Andrea commented. His limp penis nested atop his scrotum.
"Why are we here?" Andrea hated repeating herself.
