Chapter 2: Wish Away Your Troubles.

"So, it's all real after all..." Perry looked over at Lila as the rising sun gave a golden aura around the lioness. She was even more beautiful in the daylight than she had been last night. She sat up and yawned, her long pink tongue hanging out of her mouth while covered in glittering saliva, in contrast to her sleek, dark violet fur.

"Mmhmm! Is it really that hard to believe?" She laughed and hugged his head to her chest, pressing his ear against the soft fur at the top of her breasts. "Just listen..."

Listen he did. He could hear her breathing, whiffs of air being inhaled and exhaled from her as she breathed. He could almost hear her body using it, feeling each breath press her body closer and then take it farther from his face. She swallowed, and he could hear her body take the bit of saliva and wash it down into her gullet slowly, listening as it trickled wetly past in the squishy tube of her digestive tract. But most of all, Perry could hear her heart. It beat against her ribcage... Stunningly similar to human body design. It was remarkable how like they were, yet how different. He listened to every thump, the strong muscle pulsing within her chest. It was a sign of life, and reality... reality as real as he was. "Okay, I don't think I need any more persuasion. You're real or else nothing is."

"I'm glad you see it that way now. So Perry... Let's start a new day together! Show me your world." She hugged him close, using a few claws to rumple up his hair and giving a loud chuckle as he protested and tried to duck down from her gentle paw.

He leaned back and looked at his clock. "All right then. But I've got to shower first." He got up and dug through his dresser for a fresh set of clothes. "Make yourself at home then. I'll probably be about 20 minutes in there." As he turned away and went down the hall, he felt something tickle in his bellybutton. He reached down, thinking it was a stray piece of lint, but removing it quickly as he felt something soft and small wriggle inside it. Lila's giggle told him she was planning on coming along for the ride. "You're something else, you know that?" The lioness just shrugged her shoulders and waved her tail around against the back wall of his innie.

The short walk to the bathroom was a sweet torture for Perry as Lila tickled inside that little hole, wriggling around and even licking the smooth rim next to her as she kicked her footpaws against his belly skin. He got inside and closed the door, beginning to undress from the grimy clothes of the day before. He frowned at a tear in his jeans. Dammit, one of these days Terrence would pay... A small nip in his button brought him back. He slowly dropped his jeans, blushing at his obvious excitement in his boxers. (Maybe I'll just keep them on...) He was about to hop in, when he looked at the drain. "Oh, Lila. You might want to be careful and not get washed out of there. I've lost quite a few valuables down there, and you'd be the one to break the camel's back!"

"Oh, you're cute when you worry about me. All right then..." She floated up and out of the hole in his stomach, growing before his eyes until she stood before him at her real height. He hadn't even realized it the night before, but she was easily a foot or two above him. What the NBA wouldn't give for her as a player! Before he could think about telling her that, she slowly took off her tubetop, his cheeks instantly becoming a rosy red as he looked on. He breathed a sigh of relief. She was much like the furries he'd seen in art online that he liked the best. Her nipples were hidden from sight under thick mounds of her fur. If one wanted to get to them, he supposed it was possible, but he wasn't about to find out! He appreciated her sexy body, but he couldn't even think of something like that. Even his fantasies had limits! As her pants slipped off, her nethers were also hidden much in the same way. She gave him a wink as she stepped into the long tub, and then waited. "Are you coming?"

Perry's blush immediately returned. Even with that fur modesty, she was really open with herself! "Er... Are you sure? Don't you want some privacy in there?" It boggled his mind, he didn't really understand her very well yet, he could tell.

"I can hear some of your thoughts, silly. I'm not ashamed with my body in the least, and it only makes me happier if you enjoy it as well. You can feel safe around me. Besides, bathing was a pretty social thing where I came from!" She grabbed him by the arm and his waist, easily hauling him in. He felt himself temporarily weightless as he was brought to rest in front of her in the tub, facing the showerhead. He sighed. This was going to take a lot of getting used to!

"All right then. Do you like it warm or cold?" Perry grabbed the knob and turned it to the hot side, holding a hand in front of him to stave off the icy flow from the pipes until it began to get to a moderately warm temperature. It was about right, enough to drive out the morning stiffness with the droplets just a bit warmer than his skin, but not hot enough to burn the flesh off of him. A purr behind him told him he'd gotten the temperature right. As he reached for his soap, he felt that warm tongue on his neck again, sliding up and down the already wet surface. It felt so good, that he stood there with his arm on the soap for a moment, letting the water hit them both and giving slight shudders. Her tongue worked its way wetly over his neck and shoulders, curving around and down his arms a little ways before stopping, the feline placing her paws on his back and beginning to rub softly. He grabbed the soap and lathered up his front. It was a relief to wash away the grime of the day before, and without thinking he turned around.

As he looked at Lila, he almost laughed. She was sopping wet, her fur matted down to her body. He saw her figure for what it really was, not too much of a change. Droplets trailed down her whiskers and dropped to the sides as her large nose twitched, taking in the soap scent. Perry also noticed her fur color had changed from that deep violet to an almost jet black, the water darkening it noticeably. Her breasts were buoyant in the shower, bouncing slightly under the stream of water as the furry tips moved back and forth in the constant torrent, protecting her nipples from his view, except where a bit of violet flesh showed through here or there. Her waist was covered in out of place fur, the water running from the ends out into midair, a lot of it splashing on him. It was actually quite nice. The lioness had smelled sweet the night before, but she almost had an apple cinnamon scent to her now, and as he stood next to her, the runoff splashed him and left him smelling like it as well. The most noticeable difference was that Perry could see more of her navel now. The lines running across it stopped about partway down, but where they stopped, her rim started where the ball of her outie sat. He reached forward and pulled on it gently, lifting it up a little. There was almost a small compartment underneath where the skin folded over to give her bulgy bellybutton room to sit, and it extended her outie by another half inch. The pulling incited more of a purr in the lioness and she rubbed some of the shampoo above into his hair. He closed his eyes as her paws worked it in and lathered it up, while his own fingers twisted and scrubbed over the surface of her outie. He took the shampoo into his own hands and rubbed it across her stomach, using the tips of his fingers to work it into her drenched fur as well as he could. Lila was delighted at this and rubbed his head with more vigor, until every last follicle had to be coated with a layer of bubbly lather. It drained down the sides of his head as she placed the showerhead above him, giving him a clear view of his work on her own stomach. It was a mess of bubbles, but her purple fur stood out now. He'd been especially gentle around her bellybutton, causing her purrs to jump a few times as he touched it. She turned the showerhead on herself, letting the shampoo drain down the rest of her fur and into the drain. The whole bathroom was beginning to smell like her now, entrancing Perry.

A wet touch on his soap bar hand caught his attention. Lila's tail tip had been rubbing on it for quite some time. The tufted end was incredibly soapy, and she rubbed it over his body. His arms, belly, chest, and back were all covered by her gentle scrubs. That tail was the perfect washcloth, he let it be known in his mind as she finished. Perry sighed, pressing her face to her belly and taking a deep sniff. It was beautifully clean, just as she'd smelled before they'd started. She turned the faucet off, and he began to reach for a towel. However, Lila had other plans. She stepped out onto the mat, suddenly bone dry. She lifted Perry out and held him to her fur. His mouth dropped open, about to speak but suddenly silenced from the pleasurable feeling. Her fur was absorbing the water, but staying dry, almost as if it was sucking the moisture off of his skin and drinking it. She rubbed him up and down on her, against her belly and chest. Perry could feel her nipples quite clearly pushing against his skin, and even felt one slip inside his innie. He glanced at Lila's face, and she gave him a little wink as the small orb pressed into the deepest corners and dried up all the moisture. Before long, Perry was completely dry. Even his boxers were fresh and clean from that shower, and everything inside dry as well. He quickly dressed and watched Lila pull her clothes back on as well. She floated up and onto his shoulder, using a long lock of hair as cover to hide herself. It was just as well he'd worn a black shirt, she'd be even harder to spot that way.

Perry yawned as he walked downstairs. It wasn't every day that a shower was that enjoyable! He might just plan on taking more daily... The scent of buttery pancakes greeted him as he rounded the door to the kitchen. "Morning mom. The pancakes smell great!"

His mom looked over at him with a smile. "Why, thank you Perry. You're bright and chipper this morning. Sleep well?"

"You know it! I haven't slept that well since I can't remember when. I feel like I could take on the world today."

"Well, maybe you can take out the garbage before you leave while you're at it." She gave him a smile and slid a plate of pancakes over to him. "Eat up, don't you have a test today?"

He groaned and whapped at his forehead. He'd forgotten all about it! And he had all that homework to redo... His troubles began to come back to him again. Lila tugged on his hair a little bit, and he broke off a small crumb of his pancake and put it up through the strands when his mom wasn't looking. There was a little bit of butter and syrup on it. Might as well give Lila the best of both worlds! As he ate, he could hear her in unison with him, biting into the soggy bread and chewing it slowly. "Mmm... This is fabulous!"

Perry smiled. "Your pancakes are fabulous!" Couldn't hurt to relay that! That got another smile from his mom, and he finished his meal. He put this disposable plate in the trash and tied it up, then took it out to the trash by the garage door. He came back in and went to the bathroom again. Lila peeked out and wrinkled her nose as he opened his mouth and grabbed his toothbrush. Her eyes lit up when she saw the toothpaste flow out of its tube, white with a red and green streak in it.

"Is that dessert?" Lila was pointing at it, and before Perry could react, she'd leaned out and taken a dip with her finger from his brush. She must not have gotten this from his memory, and watched her as she licked it off her finger and swished it around in her mouth. Her eyes widened as foam began to press through her thin lips. He brushed his teeth while Lila struggled to get the mess off her face, laughing as she did so.

"Haha, you look like a rabid lion! Don't bite me!" As soon as he said that, he heard her give a feral growl and gnaw gently on his ear. He swished and spit, then put a fingertip with a droplet of water on it for her to do the same. She sucked it into her cheeks, swishing it around as they poofed up, and then spit it back into a cloudy droplet on his digit. This size thing was pretty fun, that was for sure!

Finally cleaned up and ready to go, Perry grabbed his bag and headed out, hopping into his car and setting Lila on the seat next to him. He watched her grow to about his height and had an idea. "Hey Lila, how about this? Can you make it so everyone else sees you as human while I still see you for who you really are?"

"Sure can! Watch this!" She angled the rear view mirror so he could look into it. Before his eyes, she turned into a fair-skinned girl, about 18 years of age. Her eyes were a bright blue, with blond hair. "I'll be from Germany, that waitress you saw when you were about 12 and on a trip over there with your family."

Perry had to admit, that mind reading thing was pretty handy at times. He turned from the mirror, and looked up the muzzle of the lioness. "She's got nothing on you, Lila." He tried to turn over the engine and sighed. "Fucking thing. Every morning with this crap. I have no clue what's wrong with it... I've looked over it about a hundred times." He turned back to Lila and saw she had her eyes shut.

After a few moments, she opened them. "Try it now, there was some dried up grease in one of the hoses." One turn of the key, and the vehicle started purring as smoothly as the feline could.

Perry almost cried as he hugged her. "You're amazing, Lila. Simply amazing. Now, let's get to school then." He pulled out of the driveway and headed across town to the school. On the way, he suddenly remembered his books. He hurriedly pulled over to the side of the road, white as a sheet. He couldn't go to school with his books like that! Groaning, he picked up his bag and got ready to look inside. Expecting broken, dirty, and destroyed books and binders inside, he opened it.

Everything was normal, just how it had been when he'd gone home. He pulled a binder out, looking through it. Everything was perfectly in order, even... his sketchbook! He opened it to the last drawn page and looked. Lila was on it whole again... In fact, the drawing looked exactly like her. She leaned over to him, a sly smile on her face. "I was actually surprised how much you thought of me. That's really nice of you." He just looked over, his mouth agape. Stopping time seemed trivial to these miracles! Perry began to see some hope left in his life after all... In fact, a plan started forming in his head.

He'd been thinking about some of the things Lila had said. In fact, he'd even looked into some of them on the internet himself in the furry fandom communities. There was one that fit her eating information perfectly, called "Ake's Portal." Maybe he could get Lila's help on the plan.

Perry pulled into the parking lot and realized he was late again. He cruised around, then spied a spot... It was a miracle, one of the closest ones to the door of the school! He quickly drove over to it, and then slammed on his brakes as another car shot into it, narrowly missing him. An old teacher got out, and he almost blew up in his head. Ms. Augen... She was another of his childhood troubles. That teacher had always had it out for him, but by divine mercy, he was in another fourth grade class instead of hers. Still, she'd tried to falsely get him in trouble so many times he'd lost count. She tottered over and shouted back at him through his window. "Better luck next time, speedy! You better be thankful this is your last year!" She cackled like the old witch she was and made her way inside.

"Bitch." Perry grumbled and drove on, trying to find another spot. He stopped at the only one left. The same one as yesterday... Terrence's spot for him. The hell spot. However, he pulled in with a smile on his face. "Oh dear, how I wish that this series of events was reversed."

Lila only smiled. There was a slight bump as the car rocked slightly. "Well, shall we go in?" He nodded, and stepped out of the parking place. He locked it up and smiled across the parking lot to Terrence's car, and Ms. Augen's next to it. Perry walked up to the school and held the door for Lila. She walked in, and he walked briskly to take the lead and run over to the Attendance office.

After a brief exchange with the secretary, and a raised eyebrow when she looked at Lila, she looked back at him as if to say "How'd YOU score that one?" and then handed him a pass for her to wear about her neck. "Congratulations Lila, you're an official exchange student."

Before she could reply, the bell rang. "Oi! Come on, we need to haul butt so we can make class." He ran up a curvy flight of stairs. It was a nice high school, about two years old and replacing the old one that had stood for years. Lila was right behind him, her feet padding up the steps. His was the first time he noticed what nice footpaws she had... Every step she took, her toes splayed out and her claws scraped at the laminated floor. She was digitigrade, to be expected, and she also had quite a spring in her step as her joints gave her a good push up into the air. She even passed him on the steps as he struggled to reach the top. "Whew, I think a bit more exercise would do me good! This way."

After a bit more running, they both made it to his homeroom. The teacher looked up at him. "Perry, who's that?"

"This is my friend from Germany, Lila. She's coming over to spend the summer, but she's a few days early." As he was talking, the teacher was looking her over. His gaze stopped on her rack, and he shifted in his chair, crossing his legs.

The man didn't stop staring, or shifting for that matter. "Nice."

Perry gave him a bit of a look and stepped forward. "She can sit next to me, right?" The man snapped out of it and nodded.

"Er... Yes, right. James, hop over a desk will you?" Another teen moved, giving an almost inaudible whistle to Lila. Perry saw her lips raise in a snarl, and could only imagine how that must translate into the perfect sneer. (Wow, she fit in perfectly...) went through his mind. But as they were getting ready to sit down, the bell for the first class rang. He shrugged to her and grabbed his bag again, heading out the door. On the way, he passed the old janitor going to his next class. The man was busy sweeping up, using his favorite red-handled broom. He was a mousy little guy, one might not notice him if he didn't move, which was why Perry pitied him a little bit. Something was different this morning though. He looked at Lila and then came over.

He pulled Perry's sleeve. "Ex...excuse me, young man. B-be careful, something's not right about her. I was t-told to look for certain things every day, and sometimes I see these people in the hall, and they look strange to me. I think it's because they're always after my broom, but this is my broom, and I told the staff they couldn't have it because I was using it. T-they just laugh, but I tell them that I'll overload the incinerator if they try to take my broom because it's my broom. And sometimes when I'm in the back, I watch the mice. I watch them a lot, and one day, they got married. But it still doesn't change-"

Perry pulled away. "Uh, thanks Morton. I'll keep an eye on her." He left the man standing there, mumbling about his red Straightcurve broom and suspicious people. He entered the room, and the day was once again a blur of faces and questions, until his test. He'd gotten the luck to be shoved in the "Extras" math class that year, which meant that all the fun teachers had been filled up, and the unfortunate few left over got shoved into the hard teacher. To make matters worse, it was the final for the year, and he was bad at math to boot. He looked at the first problem, and drew a complete blank. Ah well, go through the test and do the ones you can and work on the hard ones later, that was the strategy he'd used for years. However, 15 minutes later he was three problems finished and 47 more to go. He held his head in his hands. This test could make or break his grade, as the teacher was also known for not giving much homework. However, that meant that every test counted a lot on your grade. Perry felt a brush on his shoulder, and looked over to see Lila's tail tuft resting on it. He patted it with his hand, making it look like he was rubbing a sore spot on his neck. He began to relax more and more... In fact, it was as if everything he'd had so much trouble learning was opening up in his mind. He looked at the first problem, and realized it was the same as an example they'd worked on ages ago. In fact, that was more or less the entire test. He looked up with newfound respect for the sly old teacher, and also for Lila's help. The test was a breeze after that, and Perry was the first one done, a beaming grin on his face. For the rest of the class, he massaged her tail as much as he could reach while still making it believable he was rubbing his shoulder.

The bell rang, and a lot of dejected seniors trudged out of the room, except for him and Lila. "Lila, I appreciate your help in there... I guess that could be counted as cheating, but who's looking, eh?"

She gave him a laugh. "Actually Perry, I didn't do anything except put that there to relax you and lend you my support. I think you must've been really tight up about that."

He was glad to hear that, the news that he'd actually done the test under his own power. He felt less like he was using Lila and more like her power was a mutual grant to him. He wasn't sure, but he thought she could tell that. He just got the feeling off her. It didn't matter right now though, as her belly rumbled noisily, getting a few looks from some bystanders. Where the heck did she put all that food she'd been eating? Her blushing told him the answer. "Um, can you take me to a... Uh... Um... Oh, yeah, a rest room?"

"Sure, there's some restrooms down near the Cafeteria." He led her over and pointed her in the right one, and waited. Soon after, she came out, breathing a sigh of relief.

Lila looked at him and whispered. "I guess privacy is a pretty good thing in some cases. I don't know how I would have pulled that one off otherwise." He laughed and led her over to the food court area.

"Go ahead and choose what you want Lila, I can afford to fill your tank today." He almost patted her belly, but realized where he was and instead pulled out an $50 bill from his wallet. She laughed, and then slid her fingers along it. "Oh, look, you handed me two on accident." She handed it back to him, and he looked in his wallet. There was still yet another bill in there, so he knew he hadn't handed her both... Sheesh! She was a counterfeiter's best friend. A glance even told him she'd managed to alter some numbers on the bill's identification. Best friend indeed!

A menu look and two trays bending with food later, they stopped at a table near the edge of the food court. Each tray was completely laden with hot dogs, pretzels, french fries, yogurts, hamburgers, nachos, and all kinds of other junk. Lila began to dig in, going for the easy to chew things first. He realized that more people were staring as the food began disappearing down Lila's throat. He smiled to himself as he watched her masticate a hamburger, her sharp teeth slicing through it easily and ripping through the meat in an instant. The pink tongue slid it around as he watched, glad he and he alone could see that view.

As she devoured to her heart's content, she exclaimed over every mouthful. A guy came up to Perry. "Dude... maybe you should slow her down, she's gonna puke." He just shook his head, telling them that it would be all right. "She's from Germany, don't worry about it." He looked at some of the other food left, and began to peel an orange. Then, he got an idea... "Hey Lila, why don't you show them how you won that talent show with your throat control?"

Lila blinked, and then smiled. She took the orange and opened her jaws wide. She pressed the orange into her wet maw hungrily, her throat reflexively swallowing at it as soon as it hit her tongue and the back of her mouth. She closed her jaws, and the orange bulged in her cheeks. There was a wet sliding sound as the fruit began to press into her tight throat, a large bulge in it. There was an audible gasp. A few even talked about getting the school nurse, but couldn't get out because the crowd was packed too tightly. The orange was steadily working its way in as her jaws parted and her tongue darted in and out, until the lump was fully in her throat now. Everyone could see her muscles pulsating around it, squeezing it down another rung, the bulge bobbing like an Adam's apple. There was almost near silence as people climbed on chairs to see what the commotion was all about. All eyes were on the orange, watching as it inched closer and closer to her collarbone, finally disappearing behind it. She lifted her mirage shirt so they could watch her belly bulge. A few people whistled randomly. "Nice outie, get it pierced!" Perry blinked and looked around for whoever said it, but didn't have any clue. Maybe he'd ask around later... They all watched the orange disappear, buried in the mush of her churning gut. "Siiiick!" "Awesome! More!" "Germans are freakin' sweet!"

For the next ten minutes, the rest of the fruits were finished in the same way, until the trays were bare. Lila's belly was absolutely full of all the food now, and she groaned patting it. "That... was pretty good. I just wish I could top it off with something." As soon as she said that, someone began coming through the crowd.

"Oh, no man! No way!" "Hahaha! Do it! Yeah!" "Dude, start a pot!" A hat came around, filled with money. It was set in the middle of the table, and a large clear glass was set in front of the lioness. However, it wasn't the glass, it was what was in it. A large goldfish swam around inside. "Okay Lila, You'll get about $200 if you can eat the fish like that and keep it down!"

Lila's face beamed, and she licked her lips. "Well, if you put it that way..." She tipped the glass back, drinking about half the water. The fish began to swim around a bit frantically, but then the other gulp took the rest of the water and the fish into her mouth. In moments, the feline swallowed, most of the water going down ahead of the fish. The bulge wasn't nearly as big as some of the others, but it wriggled about in place of it. She actually had to forcefully swallow some, as the fish kept wriggling up her throat somehow. It didn't take long for the last few twitches from the fish to end at her chest, and then reappear outlined against the stretched skin of her belly. The silence as people watched was complete. They could have heard a pin drop in the food court as they watched Lila.

Suddenly, her face changed and her belly gurgled. (Uh-oh! Did she overdo it?) Perry hoped that wasn't the case as he watched her cheeks bulge. No... This wouldn't be good! The crowd started chanting "PUKE! PUKE! PUKE!" to her as he cheeks bulged more. However, when hew maw opened, it wasn't puke, or even a fish that emerged.

"BRAAAAAAAAAAAP!"

Everyone was stunned, people nearest Lila having shielded themselves against her in case of an explosion of chewed hamburgers and fries. They slowly blinked a few times, and then somebody cheered. The whole cafeteria erupted in cheering, as the hat was slid over to her. "LI-LA! LI-LA!" The congratulations and pure awe was unending as she smiled, handing the hat to Perry. "Thanks for such a great lunch!"

Perry just sat there, a half smile on his face. What a crazy cat... He got up, grabbing his bag. He'd been watching the clock, and the bell was due to ring, as it did when he got up. Everyone slowly filed away, and he and Lila had constant stares and yet more praise through the rest of the day. It was more blurs and a few more classes. Thankfully there were only a few days left! He was ready for summer, and then college. Oh, and a job... He couldn't forget that. But that could wait, he had more important matters now!

However, off to the side, he caught a glance out of the corner of his eye. A janitor shook his head and got back to sweeping with his broom. Perry wondered why there was such a change in the man's attitude... He was so nice to him, usually.

The final bell rang much later, and the school emptied faster than Janette Jaxon got censored at the Super Bowl. Perry decided to take a quick walk to the edge of the parking lot to see how Augen's car had fared. It was just as he'd thought, covered in graffiti, keyed up, and all four tires had been slashed. He wasn't the only enemy the old bitch had made, apparently. Just wait until the insurance company got that one. He and Lila just laughed to each other, and turned to walk back to the car. Perry about fell over when he came nose to nose with Terrence. "Well, well. Perry, looks like you found yourself a hot piece of ass my man!"

"Terrence! Hey, I got your cash right here, I even doubled it for you." He held the hat out to the other teen, gulping. Terrence just looked at it, smiled, and flipped it up in Perry's face. Somehow, it almost all stayed in the hat, except for a few coins that fell out.

"Naw, tell you what. You gimme your ho, and we call it even. I hear them German girls like some really crazy shit. You know what I mean, right dawg?" He made a lewd gesture with his hips, while the other two made moaning noises in the background. "I bet it sounds all like 'Oh, ohhhh! Perry, Perrywinkle! Your winkle's so small, it's hardly there at all!' yeah?"

He'd had enough. "Terrence, I got the money like you asked. She can't go with you, I promised I'd look after her."

Terrence seemed to puff up as he walked right up to Perry. "What, you think I won't look after her? Oh, I'd look after her. I'd look after her, under her, and in her!" The three teenage boys laughed evilly, like a bunch of ten year olds who had said the word penis. "Aw man, you can look after her. You coming with us!" With that, they grabbed Perry and Lila, and shoved them into Terrence's car. He started it up, and gangster rap started blasting. He could almost feel Lila wince as her sensitive ears folded over. He was in the back between the two other boys, and Lila sat in the front next to Terrence. He kept thinking about his plan, outlining it over, and over in his head. Lila's tail tip was twitching. He could tell she was furious as the situation. However, he reached out slightly and grasped it in his hand. Lila stiffened, and then relaxed when she realized who it was. Perry kept his mind focused, and replayed the plan one more time.

"Wow, that's a good idea... Fun too!" He heard the lioness's voice in his brain clear as crystal, and was glad for that connection they had now!

Perry looked out the window. He realized there they were going... It was an old farm outside of town. Terrence was rumored to live there, with his aunt. However, he'd also heard that he lived there alone and paid off a bunch of people, because one of his cousins was a member of the Bloods. Regardless, that was where they were going now.

Minutes later, they'd pulled into the barn. Perry and Lila were marched into the house, and a rotten odor greeted them. It was absolutely horrible. Perry went in and saw takeout boxes and fast food all over the place. Dishes with mold and crusted food on them were in the sink, obviously having not been touched in quite some time. He would have keeled over from the scent if he wasn't walking behind Lila. Her apple smell was the only thing that kept him moving through the house of his own volition.

The bedroom door was kicked open and Terrence immediately began stripping. The other two forced Perry into a chair that wobbled as he sat on it, and was covered in a pile of filthy laundry. Terrence was down to his pants, and unbuckling his belt. "Come on bitch, strip for me!"

"Better do as he says, Lila." She nodded slowly, giving him a glare as her skirt came off, and then her shirt, leaving her in her panties and bra.

"Oh yeah, take it all off... I wanna see that body plain woman!"

"You heard him Lila... Better take it ALL off." Perry smiled. The plan was getting put into action now. He watched Lila, and saw her grin broadly. She even began to laugh, and then shimmered.

The expression on Terrence's face was priceless. "OH FUCK NO!"

"You're fucked, yes." Lila grew to her full height and grabbed Terrence by the throat. He flailed around, his nearly naked body kicking out at her as she held him at arm's length. His legs stopped, and then went for his pillow. Clutched between them when he brought them out was a pistol, easily concealed underneath it. Perry's eyes grew round.

As soon as Terrence got his hands on the gun, a shot was fired directly into Lila's gut. She let out a grunt of pain, dropping Terrence on the bed and bending over, clutching at her dark belly fur. It slowly grew darker as her blood seeped up from between her fingers. Terrence shot twice more, once in her side, and then through her heart in her chest. Perry crumpled to the floor, trying to crawl over to her side, but got pulled back by the two other teens. He sat there, mouth agape, tears streaming down his face from the most sudden and overwhelming grief he'd ever experienced. Terrence pointed the gun at Lila again, bending down as her arms curled up to the other wounds slowly. "Fucking freak. Motherfucking sick freak... That's right, die." He looked at her body, and spied her big outie. He looked at Perry with a hatred-filled smile. "You know, I never liked an ugly outie." He fit the gun barrel over the tip, the hot muzzle of the gun sizzling on her navel flesh a bit as she let out a short yell of pain, and then the gun sounded again, with her screaming out, then silenced. Her outie had been split down the middle like an overripe melon, thick layers of skin and fat visible just before the red blood welled up and covered the wounds from sight. Lila shuddered, and then laid still.

"...Lila? You... you killed... LILAAAAAAAA!" Perry screamed in complete agony, pounding at the ground. Terrence walked over, lifting Perry's head with a grubby, black toe. "You're one sick cracker. Shit man, I'm doing the world a favor." He pointed the gun at Perry's forehead and cocked the hammer back. "Bye Perry. Too bad your only chance at sex wasn't even human."

The shot rang out. Perry blinked as Terrence took away the gun barrel. He put his hand to his forehead, feeling. His hands pulled a knot off, no, wait. The bullet, completely smashed into his forehead. It was almost completely flat, like a dime. Terrence backed away slowly. "What... What the fuck!?" He shot once more, and then his gun began clicking, out of ammo. Perry pulled that one off as well, and stood up as the other thugs backed away. He walked over to Terrence and smiled. "Son of a BITCH!" Terrence swung at his face, and then screamed in agony, clutching his fist. Blood seeped through it, as well as dripped from Perry's jaw line. He wiped a hand across it, not a scratch to be found. He whirled around, his fist connecting with each of the other black teens' faces. They went down next to each other, not so much as moving an inch. He turned back to Terrence, who had circled around him, and was moving towards the door. "T-this ain't real man, this's some fucked up weird dream!" He had forgotten about Lila, and tripped over her, landing on her gut. The lioness's tail instantly lashed out and wrapped around him. He gave a short, scared scream as he was hefted into the air in front of her as she got up. The bullets were pushed up and out of her body as the holes began to shrink and close, except for her outie, still split in two.

The tail held the boy right in front of the bloody navel. "Didn't your mother ever tell you to clean up after yourself? Now, you can start with this mess." She pressed his face right into it as he struggled against her belly, pounding with his fists which just bounced off. He didn't even seem to realize he had a broken fist now... Lila giggled, watching her belly bounce around and purring as Terrence flailed against it. "That feels good, but you better get to cleaning if you want to live." Terrence was sobbing now, and slowly opened his mouth, his tongue dipping into the red mess with a grimace on his face. It slowly faded, and he began licking at the bloodied flesh more and more, even sucking on a split piece of the raw bellybutton as the blood flowed more and more. It covered his face, dripping red as he pressed his lips farther into the wound to get at the lioness's blood. Suddenly, his eyes shot open, and he drew his head back. In his lips was a slimy, tannish tube-looking thing. It gave a slight pulse, and he dropped it with a low moan of pure terror. The tube pulsed some more, and a lump passed through it. It turned slightly transparent, and Terrence got a first class view of a mostly digested goldfish. The bones were visible through transparent scales, one eye dissolved away and the other looking, staring at Terrence blankly.

Lila slashed across his face with her claws. "I said clean it up, not make a bigger mess! You're obviously not fit to carry on in this world. Shit man, I'd be doing it a favor." With that, the last bullet dropped out and her navel healed itself up, back to its beautiful lined glory. She licked across the slash marks, her tongue collecting the sweat and blood of the frightened bad boy. "Fear only makes you taste better, Terrence. So long." She opened her jaws, fitting her sharp teeth around his head. As he felt them press against it, he wailed, a complete and utter cry of desperation. Terrence was like an animal now, struggling and pushing against Lila's lips and teeth as they covered his forehead. Her lips suckled on him, drawing his head in past her lips and teeth to rest in her mouth. The soft tasting organ slid across his face, slathering it with her drool and tasting his tears. She clamped her jaws around his neck, biting softly and making small punctures along it on the front and back. Terrence's fingers cut and slipped on the teeth as he tried to pry the jaws open and save himself, pulling back and only extending the damage on his neck. Droplet of blood formed as he was forced into the waiting jaws farther by that holding tail. The tuft was wriggling around in his navel, making his gut wrench back to try and get away from the tickling. His head began to form a bulge in Lila's throat as she suckled more blood out of his neck, gripping his shoulders in her jaws. She pinned his arms to his sides as she began to force him in faster and harder now.

Perry watched from the side, only imagining the torment Terrence was going through. It was payback, revenge for all those years and all those other people besides him that had gone through hell. He walked up to Terrence's feet and began pushing, watching Lila's lips widen around the youth's shoulders. One of her footpaws came up and rubbed at his side, approval of his help for feeding her.

Inside the throat, Terrence was blubbering, crying. His face was screwed up from pain and grief. He couldn't believe this was happening, it was impossible. As his body crept forward, he felt the strong neck muscles pull against his head in peristalsis. Each contraction and pull of those hot, wet muscles threatened to tear his head from his neck if he didn't pull back. It was hot, wet, and humid inside the throat. Every so often a load of saliva would wash down under his chin, and he could hear it swish away below him. Then, he heard something suck open, and the movements of the throat to change. He felt something wet push against his face, and then burst. It was the most repulsive thing he'd ever smelled, worse than his entire house. Lila's entire lunch was mixed into that single gas bubble, a stench powerful enough to almost knock him out. He was stunned, stopping wiggling as he tried to gasp for air. Lila took the opportunity to take a large swallow, shoving his chest and arms into her lips and suckling them. Her feline tongue played around on his nipples for a bit, his body relaxing slightly, but tensing right back up in the next swallow. The lioness's breathing was loud. He could hear it swishing by as she inhaled and exhaled, listening to her windpipe. The next sensation was almost pleasant. The last swallow had brought his navel up to her jaws. The tongue instantly slipped up inside, tasting the human and eliciting a pleasured purr from the feline. She kept him there for a while, swirling he tongue around on his rather featureless bottom of his innie. It was tasty to her indeed, and she sucked on the belly in her mouth as best as she could. She soon tired though, and jabbed a tooth into it. The sharp, jagged tip ripped a hole in the flesh easily, pulling more blood from his body. He was feeling faint now, as much of the blood left was rushing to his head. As he began to feel like that, there was a change in his posture, and the pressure increased at least by double. Not only that, but he felt himself slipping down, further into darkness. Before, there had been a slight bit of light from the dark room shining through the throat. However, in the chest there was only darkness as the muscular passage pulled him along.

Perry watched Terrence's body disappear gulp after gulp, and now devoid of Terrence to push in, he began rubbing the footpaw that had been rubbing him. He picked it up and pressed his hand into it gently, feeling each of the pads underneath it squish. He touched each toe, and the large pad in the middle tenderly, amazed at the leathery feel. He'd always liked the feel of paws, but any normal animal had always pulled away from his touch. Not Lila. She wasn't a normal animal. She was a beautiful creature, with beautiful paws. Her feet were so soft as he rubbed over the toes, pressing his fingers between the wide spaces, and feeling them curl about in his hands. The claws came out, pressing into his palms. Luckily for him, they were foot claws, and quite dull from the walking Lila had done. He watched as Terrence's feet disappeared, the tongue curling about them, and the huge maw closed.

Lila was feeling like a queen at the moment. She'd had her bellybutton serviced, was getting her first hot, wriggling meal in a very long time, and even a foot massage to go with it. She felt Terrence wriggle weakly in her gullet, especially as his head began to press at her stomach sphincter. She let the rest of his body catch up and crumple slightly before she let it open full blast, shooting Terrence into the belly. She sighed, knowing all too well what he was going into...

For Terrence though, it was his first and last time. The stench was incredible as he was pushed into a tight sac, filled with liquid of some kind. He couldn't move anymore, as the sac formed to his body as closely as it could. He could barely breathe, and didn't want to. He felt himself pressed against a pile of something squishy and soft, smelling of pretzels and nacho cheese. He began to throw up, but passed out before he could. The air was all gone in the belly, leaving him in an airless slumber. His body involuntarily curled up, forced into an emergency hibernation situation from the lack of oxygen and toxic gases built up. However, nobody would be there to revive him, or save him. The toxic gases were coming from his own body, the acids working to break down his skin quickly and efficiently, and doing a good job of it. His fat and muscles were coming next, the flesh deteriorating rapidly. The mush he'd been pressed into was almost completely breads and fruits left, the meat had been dissolved away hours prior.

Perry moved from the footpaw to the belly, watching Lila tilt her head back and begin rubbing it in small circles. He joined her, one hand on the top of her gut, and the other on the bottom, her navel distended to its full length from the bulge inside. He gripped it between thumb and forefinger as he rubbed, her belly moving around with each circle of that hand. It was an interesting little knob, and he could feel Terrence shifting around underneath, only much more bony. In fact, he was sure he could see her gut shrinking. It was amazing, and he pressed his face to it, giving he soft belly a soft kiss to match. He could feel the stomach walls churning acid around and into the victim, removing his vital organs and any remaining flesh. The acid was changing, the bones soon crumbling in the acrid gas produced. But before it could be belched out, it was reabsorbed by the belly walls, to be used another time.

Lila's gut was now full of soupy human, completely digested in a matter of minutes. Perry just kept rubbing the belly, listening to it slosh its contents around underneath him. He noticed the room's stink was gone now, not seeming nearly as grody. He curled up on Lila's belly, feeling it underneath him like a giant water bed. Her hand paws shifted and began to rub him instead, the purrs from her louder by the minute. They suddenly stopped, in place of a titanic yawn from Lila. An eerie silence fell on them both. The wind, the air, the birds, everything stopped. Lila had done it again, stopped everything for rest. He had to admit, he was pretty exhausted too. All that magical talent must take a lot out of her. He patted Lila's furred arm, rubbing it gently as her own rubs got softer and softer on him. He sighed and let a small phrase escape his lips before he drifted off. "I love you Lila."

"Love you too Perry..."
