Do not read this story unless you wish to see a cartoon from when you were a kid twisted and reshaped into something that is bound to give some furs carpal tunnel syndrome from spanking out some knuckle children too hard. This story is also bound to disturb or piss off someone, but I figured I might as well hit all the bases. And if it does piss you off, let yourself be heard, never stopped anyone from giving my stories a bad review before, not about to start now.

It was late at night, most of the Gummies had gone to bed for the night, only Zummi and Grammi were still awake, carrying on the chores that kept the Glen running smoothly. Grammi was busy washing dishes from the large supper. They weren't used to having guests, but now they had that nice human boy, Cavin, that had found the Glen. He was certainly a nice boy and it was good for Cubbi to have someone to play with. It had started to rain and, ever the motherly figure; Grammi insisted he stay the night in one of the guest rooms.

Out in the library, Zummi adjusted his glasses as he read over the Great Book of Gummi, attempting to memorize the spells contained in it. But, as always he was having a hard time trying to memorize all the spells. His eyes were getting blurry, but he was too wound up to rest. So much had been happening over the last few days with the human Cavin finding the way into Gummi Glen, bringing the medallion that unlocked the Great Book, and his own attempts to learn the spells it held. Right about that time he came across a spell that claimed it was suppose to help the members of an enclave relax and sleep. Sitting back, the older bear intoned in a deep voice, "Gummies Erotumic Stumory!" He held the pose for a moment before blinking and looking back at the book, "Well now I know this must do something." About that time he felt his eyes getting heavier and figured the spell must be starting to work. Maybe it meant that everyone would be getting a good night's seep. Blowing out the candles, he staggered off towards his room and yawned heavily. When he left the room, a light mist emerged from the tome's pages and flowed down to the floor before creeping outside.

Sunni was asleep in her bedroom when the mist snuck in under her door. Like some predator, it snuck across the floor towards the slumbering teen. Sliding under her covers, it slipped across her thighs and under her nightgown. The golden colored female let out a soft moan and shifted slowly as tendrils of the cool fog drifted under her clothing and brushed across her virgin sex. Her eyes fluttered beneath their lids as the mist drifted over her body and slipped into her mouth, nose, and slit. Arching her back, Sunni let out a low gasp before sitting up. Tossing aside her cover, she looked around slowly. It had felt like someone was in the room with her for a minute, but now she was alone. At that thought a low ache started in her privates that built to a needy throb. Uttering a low moan, she lifted up her nightshirt and rubbed a paw across her sex, finding it soaked. Thinking something was wrong, she got out of bed and hurried to the door to find Grammi and ask the older female what was the matter. But as she walked down the halls, her ursine nose caught the scent of Cavin from the room he was using. Stopping in her tracks, she looked around as her nose twitched slightly, bringing her the scent of a male around her age. Even though Cavin was a human and she was a Gummi, her body knew he would provide her with the release she longed for. Moaning, she almost fell against his door as she rushed to open it.

Slipping into the room, she shut the door quietly and turned. She could just barely make out the sleeping form of the human in the dim light that leaked in around the door. Butterflies fluttered in her belly and in the back of her mind she felt nervous, but her body moved on its own. Tugging his covers down, the bear murred, "Cavin?" and watched as the human stirred and muttered something but didn't wake. Pulling his covers down more, Sunni felt her heart start to race as his bare body was revealed. Cavin had stripped his clothing off and draped them over the chair and desk in the room. A blush spread across the female's cheeks as she shrugged out of her own clothing and tossed it aside. Crawling up onto the bed, she found herself drawn to that sheathless cock that rested between his legs. Short, curly hair was the human's only covering down there as she opened her maw and gave his cock a lick. A thrill shot through her body, as she tasted his salty malehood, letting out a moan as she gripped it in a paw and stroked it slowly. Taking the tip into her maw, Sunni started to move her head up and down slowly as she panted around it.

Cavin shifted a bit and moaned, feeling something warm and wet working around his cock. He hadn't felt anything close to this, but it was pure bliss. Waking from his dream, he saw a shape leaning over his body and making slurping noises. Moving slowly, he turned up the oil lamp on the bedside enough to bring some more light into the room. The lanky teen let out a gasp as he saw Sunni bobbing her head slowly; gulping around his cock as it got harder. "Sunni, what are you doing?"

The female blushed and pulled her maw back with a pop, her paw working to keep the cock hard. "I d-don't know, Cavin, its like I just have to." She blushed, red slightly visible under the thinner fur of her cheeks. Her eyes locked onto the cock as she rubbed it slowly with her paw, admiring it. She had seen a cock before, after all she had spent her entire life in the Glen with four males, but none of them measured up to what this human had. He looked to be at least seven inches long, Gruffi was the largest she had seen before this, but he still wasn't as large. Although the bear looked like he might be thicker when he got hard. Sunni looked up at Cavin and blushed, "Do you want me to stop?"

He shook his head, "Please don't, Sunni." She nodded and immediately went back to suckling on his cock. Her tongue pressed his rod against the roof of her mouth as she moved her head up and down, pumping what cock wasn't in her muzzle. Cavin let out a groan and leaned his head back, just enjoying the sensation as the bear's moist breath washed over his crotch and her mouth bathed his lance. He had seen some guards and knights with bar maids before, but seeing and doing was two completely different things. His breathing increased in pace as the golden furred female bobbed her head up and down on his cock quickly, using her tongue to press his most private parts against her teeth and the roof of her mouth. Then she took it one step further. Moving her paw aside, the teen shoved her head down until she felt that meat slip into her throat. Her eyes watered for a moment as her throat fought the intrusion before giving in.

Writhing under her attentions, Cavin felt his first woman-induced orgasm begin to boil up from his loins, "Su-Sunni I'm gonna..." he didn't even get to finish before his back bowed and he let out a gasp as his sac began to give up its essence. Sunni pulled her maw back when the human began to lift up. Holding just his tip inside her maw, she pumped his cock as he started to spurt. Her eyes went wide as the salty treat sprayed across her tongue, working to both swallow what he gave her and coax out more. But she wasn't ready for the volume he gave her, his cum dripping from her lips before she pulled back with a gasp, his cum spurting over her paw and his crotch. Moaning, she leaned in and started to lap it up with her long tongue as the teen male collapsed with a huff. But under the bear's natural talent, his cock stayed as hard, only wilting slightly.

He moaned, "That was..." he blinked as she put a finger to his lips and shushed him.

"We're not done yet." Smiling at him, she stood up, revealing her developing body to him as she opened up a secret compartment in the wall next to the bed and drew out a bottle of Gummiberri Juice. Grammi had recently told her a few other uses for the elixir. Everyone knew that if a Gummi drank the concoction then they would begin to bounce, and that humans and ogres would grow stronger. But there were other ways to use it as well. Dribbling some of the purple liquid onto Cavin's cock, Sunni stroked it slowly. The shaft got slick and harder as the juice worked to both lubricate and arouse the cock further. Removing her paw from his rod, Sunni dribbled some more of the juice onto two of her fingers and rubbed them around her pussy. As she did, her sex lips seemed to stretch slightly as she moaned.

Straddling the human's lap, the Gummi pressed his cock to her virgin sex and gulped lightly before pressing down. Even with the help of the purple liquid and her own juices, she hissed lightly as the cock stretched her unused sex. But as she slid down and the Gummiberri Juice mixed with her own honey, her tunnel started to expand and grip the cock. Cavin let out a gasp as that incredible tightness slid down his dick, jerking his hips up and pushing more into Sunni. The golden female let out a gasp as she felt her cherry break, made painless thanks to a combination of her own arousal, the juice, and the spell that she was under.

Pushing her body down, it didn't take long until her rump rested against his sac. Moaning, she looked down and ran a paw over her lower belly. Cavin's cock was making a visible bulge in her belly as the Gummiberri Juice made her insides rubbery and stretchy so they could shift around his cock and let her take everything. Cavin panted and stroked his fingers along the bulge; "Does it hurt?"

She shook her head and lifted up slowly, gasping as his cock brushed over her g-spot and made her thighs tremble, "N-no, it feels great!" He had to agree; it did feel great with that wonderful wet tunnel gripping his shaft and her silky fur rubbing against his bare skin.

Sunni moved up and down over his cock a couple times before lifting almost all the way off, "Ca-Cavin, put your hands here." She directed his hands to her hips, "Now keep them right there, I want to try something." He nodded and watched with confusion in his eyes as she slid down then back up, as if checking how far she could ride his cock before nodding. Smiling at him, she grabbed the bottle of the purple bouncing potion and gulped the rest down. The familiar noise sang through the room as she gained the power to bounce for a short time. Shoving her body down and kicking her feet up, Sunni slammed her body down hard against his before rebounding with a gasp. Her thighs hit his hands and bounced back to hit his crotch again. Sunni threw her head back and let out a pleasure-filled gasp as her paws kept her steady. Cavin moaned and gritted his teeth as he watched the bear bounce on his cock. Each time she went down, his cock rubbed against all the right spots inside her, making her clench around his cock. Her juices coated his rod and matted down his pubic hair as they panted, racing towards their climaxes. This would be Sunni's first with another person, and Cavin's first inside of someone. They moaned as he pressed his feet against the wall of the room, pushing up into her and making her bounce harder against his hands.

It only took the two a few more seconds before Sunni uttered a trembling roar. Her sex clamped down around his cock as she started to cum harder than she ever had with just her fingers. Cavin gasped as that tunnel hugged him tightly, shoving her down and thrusting up. He tried to match her roar with a yell of his own as he began to spurt his cream into her. His dick's shape was easily visible inside the bear's belly, throbbing as it fired its creamy load into her. Sunni moaned, her paws moving to her belly as she felt it swelling slightly, her small gut being filled for the first time ever. The two of them fell into the bed, Sunni resting on top of the human as she panted. Moaning, she slowly slipped off him, her sex shutting tight behind his cock to keep that load inside her. Sliding up his body, she leaned forward and began to kiss him. Opening his mouth up to meet her in the kiss, he shared in the tender embrace as their tongues danced with each other. His eyes fluttered closed as she tugged up his covers and murred, "Sleep tight, Cavin." He smiled at her and gave her another kiss as she returned to her room.

_______________________________________

About the same time Sunni was going into Cavin's room, the mist crept into Gruffi's room and began to twine and wind around all the spare parts and half-completed gadgets scattered around. The stern, brown furred Gummi had fallen asleep at his desk, parts of something spread around his head as he snored lightly. The mist crept closer slowly before twining around his ankles like an affectionate house pet. Gruffi shifted slightly and muttered under his breath before continuing to snore softly. The mist slid up his body and under his tunic. Like the other Gummi males, he didn't wear any pants, just counting on the flap of skin that hid his sheath to keep himself concealed. His muzzle opened slightly as he started to pant softly. A bulge formed in his crotch before the fur and skin parted. Inside an almost slit-like pouch was his sac and sheath, which now came into view. Gruffi let out a low gasp as the mist flowed up, sliding into his maw and nose like it had done with Sunni. As he breathed in the fog, his sheath swelled up, his crimson tip peeking from its home as he groaned softly. Sitting up, the tan bear looked down at his cock as it slid from its home before reaching down to feel his sac. It had been a while since he'd gotten some sex; and maybe it was time he did. Standing up, he shuffled out of his room, as if in a trance.

The fog moved ahead of him, seeming to be invisible to the Gummi as it headed into one of the other bedrooms. Gruffi opened up the bed right as Tummi was sitting up and looking around. When he spoke, his voice was slow and confused sounding, "Gruffi, what are you doing here? I was having a dream about some cakes and cookies then I woke up with an erection." Leaning over, he turned up his bedside lamp and saw that he wasn't the only one with a hard-on.

Gruffi shut the door behind him and tugged off his shirt; "Tubbi, you want some custard don't you?" he sat down in a chair and waited. The heavier bear nodded and shrugged out of his nightshirt before moving over quickly. He was slightly taller than the short male, but easily twice the weight. Moaning, he shoved his nose into Gruffi's crotch and began to rub his tongue against the male's furred sac and sheath. The bossy male let out a moan as his cock began to get nice and hard under the treatment. Tummi was enjoying it, treating the cock like he would one of Grammi's candy sticks. His long tongue cupped the shaft as it got hard, rubbing it as he slurped noisily.

He moaned and stroked the blue furred male's head with his paw, "That's it, Tummi. Get it nice and wet so I can give you a treat." The chunky bear just bobbed his head, his tongue sliding around the male's cock as he groaned. Reaching a paw under his own girth, he gripped his cock and pumped it as his head bobbed up and down on Gruffi's length. Tummi let out a murr as he tasted some of the other bear's sweet pre dripping onto his tongue and increased his speed. Pulling his maw back, he licked over the male's length, admiring it. The bossier male's cock was almost four inches long, very lengthy for a Gummi and it was thick. Tummi circled his tongue around the cock before Gruffi pulled at his scruff, "Okay, turn around."

Tummi nodded eagerly and turned around, lifting up his rear for the other male. Gruffi slipped up behind him and knelt down behind him, gripping his rear. Pushing the cheeks apart with his hand, he leaned in and spit right into the middle of the bear's star. Using a thumb, he starts to rub it around and poke the bud as it got it to relax and lube it up some. He could do the trick with Gummiberri Juice to lube up the other male, but that would be a waste when he could do it like this. The combination of his spit, the rubbing of his finger, and the mist that drove both of them to do this, had Tummi relaxed already as he moaned. Pushing a paw against the blue male's rear; he got Tummi to squat down some so he could press his tip to the other's tailhole.

Pressing lightly, he kept his cock there before shifting his grip to hold onto the heavier male's rump. Easing forward, he pushes his cock into the bear's anal ring and drawing a gasp from both of them. Gruffi was enjoying feeling that tight ring gripping his pole and Tummi loved the feeling of that thick meat being pushed into him. The tan male's fingers ran through the other's thigh fur as he presses forward. Using his paws to keep the other male's ass cheeks spread apart; he pressed in as deep as he could. This wasn't the first time the two of them had done this, but it had been a while since they had. If he remembered correctly, he caught Tummi stealing some treats from the kitchen and gotten a couple nights of sex for not telling Grammi about it.

Pulling back slowly, they both groaned Tummi's arms slipping down so his chest rested against the floor. He could feel Gruffi start to speed up, their furred bodies hitting together as they pant. The other bear's cock was thick enough that each time he pushed into the other bear's rump, his shaft ground against Tummi's prostate. The tan bear gripped the other's back and began to pump as he panted softly. His sac swatted against the plump rear of the slower male as they grunted and growled together. Sliding his paw around, he petted the male's belly before reaching a paw down to stroke his hard, dripping cock as they huffed and groaned. Gruffi may be smaller than the other Gummies, but his body was a mass of muscle built up from a lifetime of working to maintain Gummi Glen. They both knew they wouldn't last very long, they never tried for length of the sessions, just intensity.

Tugging his cock out of the tight ass, he jerked his head, "Okay, Tummi, over your bed." The blue bear blinked, but did as he was told, not really sure what Gruffi had in mind. He watched his sleepy eyes blinking slowly as the shorter male opened up the secret compartment each room had and removed two bottles of Gummiberri Juice. While he wouldn't use it for lube, he did have another idea of what to use it for during sex. Setting a bottle in front of the prone male, he got behind him and wiggled some. It took some wiggling and worming from both males before Gruffi's cock was once more pushed into the bear's tailhole with a groan. "Now, drink the juice." Tummi knew better than to argue with the older bear, so he did as he was told, drinking down his juice.

The familiar noise filled the air as they drank down every drop of the purple draft. Gruffi gave a smirk and pulled back, his rear slamming into the wall that was so close to Tummi's bed. Rebounding off the wall, he slammed into the plump male's rear and bounced off it, driving the larger male into the bed. In a matter of seconds, the stubborn male's hips were a blur as he slammed his cock in and out of the fat bear's rear. Tummi gripped the sheets tightly as he groaned his muzzle hanging open as that pistioning cock slammed and pushed against his prostate almost constantly. His cock dripped pre onto the wood of his bed as he groaned pushing back just as fast as he could as his own sac tightened up quickly. He wiggled some and managed to start to roll onto his back, his belly jiggling with each pounding thrust as Gruffi helped him roll over. Moaning, he arched his back and gripped the sheets as his long tongue hung from his muzzle.

Then it happened, the chunky bear's back arched up as he let out a low roar. His cock started to spurt, his sac throbbing, and his tailhole clamping around the fucking cock. Tummi's dark blue cum splashed over his belly, some actually managing to hit his nose and throat, as he let out a low grunting noise. Watching his fellow Gummi cumming so hard, Gruffi sped up, getting close himself from that clamping. It only took a few more thrusts before he stopped his wild bouncing and pressed forward. Where Tummi's bellow had been a sleepy sounding thing, his was much louder and harsher sounding. His body hammered against the other male's as his balls gave up their spunk before he pulled out. Jerking his cock, he let his own custard yellow cream paint stripes over the blue bear's rear and thighs as he panted. Looking up, he chuckled softly as he saw the other bear was already snoring. Gathering up his clothing, he cleaned himself on a piece of dirty clothing before tossing it into the hamper and returning to his room.

________________________________________

Out in the kitchen, Grammi was finishing up the dishes as the other Gummies began to get rowdy in the other rooms. As she hummed to herself the unseen mist slithered along the floor and started up her furred thighs. The matriarch shivered and looked around, "Must be a draft, I'll have Gruffi look at it in the morning." Wiping her paws on a towel, she felt her knees go week as the mist brushed across her bare pussy under her dress. She hadn't felt anything touch her down there in ages, and she had forgotten how good it felt. As if called by the mist, Zummi slid up behind his fellow elder and wrapped his paws around to grip her breasts. Letting out a gasp as those real hands groped her, she looked back and moaned out in her rough voice, "Oh, Zummi, what brought this on?"

He smiled at her as his paws moved to undo her dress's ties, "I don't know, just felt like I should do this." The usually clumsy bear got the ties undone in no time and slipped it the covering off one shoulder. His paw moved into the opening and gripped her large breast as he kissed along her neck. "Mmm, still firm after all these years." His thumb moved over her nipple, playing with it as she let out a gasp. It had been years since either had done anything like this, years since they had the opportunity or drive to do it. The knowledge keeper turned magician started trying to remove her clothing right there, but the firm, motherly paws stopped him.

She shook her head and moaned, "Not here, Zummi. Let's go back to my room." He nodded and the two ran off towards Grammi's room like a pair of cubs during springtime, giggling and laughing as they stopped occasionally to romp.

The pair literally fell into Grammi's room; their maws locked together in a kiss as their hands roamed each other's body. Finally, however, the need for more prevailed and they disengaged so they could strip their clothing off and reveal their bare bodies. She looked over at Zummi and found herself moaning softly, "Lets skip the appetizer and get to the main course." She giggled and tugged back the covers on her bed, bending over to fetch a set of leather straps from under the mattress. Spying a chance for some fun, the old male adjusted his glasses and shoved his muzzle between the female's thighs. His tongue quested out and licked across her wet slit before diving into her honey pot. Grammi moaned and grabbed her bed as his tongue invaded her pussy, spreading it for the first time in ages. "Now cut that out, you old coot, and help me with this." Together the two of them pulled out four sets of padded straps, each attached to a corner of the bed and hidden under the mattress till now. Grammi pulled out one more thing before lying back, a bottle of what looked like Gummiberri Juice. But this was a special batch she kept around just for some kinky fun during sex.

Lying on the bed, she wiggled and murred softly, rubbing her thighs together. Without a word, Zummi took her feet and tickled them lightly before tossing the strap around her ankle and buckling it. He repeated the motion for her other leg before adjusting the two, spreading her legs and limiting her movement. Grammi let out a moan as he did this, shifting some and panting already as her juices dripped down her thighs slowly. Moving up to her side, Zummi did the same thing to one arm then the other, effectively restraining her. "Are you ready, Grammi?" She nodded, panting and wordless for the moment as Zummi tugged the cork out of the bottle and held it to her lips. And in only a couple gulps, the liquid was down her throat. She moaned and shifted slightly as Zummi stepped back to watch her. Within seconds the juice was changing her body, making her swell up like a balloon. Since she was the only one in Gummi Glen that could make the Gummiberri Juice, she also knew that if you left out some of the berries, it would cause the drinker to swell up and float off like a hot air balloon. But with the straps, her body would swell up and just stay on the bed.

Letting out a low groan, Grammi felt her body swelling up slowly. It started at her belly, stretching her hide and breasts as she inflated like some parade float. Next her thighs and arms puffed out, her skin creaking and groaning slightly as it was puffed out, seeming to become semi-transparent. Before long her body was straining at the straps, floating just above the mattress. Her reddish-orange seemed to be at least partially see-through, giving a vague image of the bed below her as she rested there. The 'messed up' batch of juice not only caused her to swell up and float like a balloon, but it allowed her to stretch more without hurting her self. She groaned and spoke to Zummi, her voice seeming to have risen in pitch slightly; "We haven't done this since before I gave birth to Cubbi."

Zummi smiled at her and ran his fingers over her pussy, "Far too long, my dear. I think the last time I saw you like this, you were having him." She moaned and nodded as the male ran his fingers over her slit one by one before working his entire fist into her. Letting out a gasp that almost sounded like a squeak, she arched her back as her rubbery tunnel stretched around his probing hand. Looking down, she could almost make it out as it pushed into her body. "You know, I found a spell in the Great Book you might like." Grammi looked at him and panted as he pushed his hand in deep enough that his fingers could reach her g-spot. She arched her back and let out a gasp as her tunnel spasmed around his hand and arm. Pulling his arm back, Zummi licked his fingers clean before moving to kneel on the bed between the pumped up matriarch's legs.

Gripping his cock, which was just a half-inch smaller than Gruffi's but about the same thickness, he intoned in a deep voice. "Umen gummies tumern umen lumarge," even before the echoes from his voice died off, his cock began to grow in size. Grammi's eyes went wide as her thighs trembled; just imagining that thing slipping into her pussy almost made her cum. Within a few seconds, the rod was almost as tall as the purple male and his paw didn't come close to wrapping around half of it. But he wasn't done yet, "Zummumi erecum tiumon bum pum!" little bumps began to sprout on his cock, covering it with little nubs that made Grammi curl her toes in anticipation. Zummi actually had to get a chair and move it to the foot of the bed so he could stand on it and line his cock up with the waiting pussy.

Both of the elders watched in eager anticipation as the cock pressed against Grammi's swollen cunt. It took Zummi a couple pushes before the tip shoved in with a wet pop. Arching her back, she let out a wheezing gasp as her tunnel clamped down around that deliciously thick cock, having one of her strongest orgasms ever. But he wasn't anywhere close yet, pushing his cock into her. They could both easily see the shaft pushing into her and stretching her tunnel beyond imagination. But thanks to the both the spells Zummi unwittingly cast earlier and the effects of the juice, her body just stretched to accommodate it. Shifting onto the bed now, he rested his paws on her sides and pushed in to the hilt as he groaned. The woman let out a gasp and stretched her back as she looked down at her body, seeing that massive cock expanding her insides. She panted deeply and tugged at her bindings as Zummi hilted inside her finally. The two shared a low groan of satisfaction before he started to pull back. She gasped and arched her back, tugging at the restraints harder as those bumps and the tip of his cock ground right against her g-spot and tugged on her clit.

He panted and gasped softly, gripping Grammi's inflated sides with his paws as her tunnel hugged his cock. The juice she drank let her stretch and take the huge cock, but it also made her insides hug every inch of it. Pulling back, he began to pump what length of his cock he could get in and out of her as he groaned. Grammi's eyes closed as she panted and huffed, feeling her body bulging as the air trapped inside her was displaced each time that cock was shoved into her. As he pushed into her, she could hear him pant something under his breath, "Spumeed umup numow." Her eyes shot wide as she looked up, the older bear's hips immediately speeding up. Tossing her head back, Grammi let out a squeal as she started to climax seconds later as that massive cock pumped in and out of her body with a speed she didn't believe was possible. Tugging and pulling at the straps, she huffed and thrashed wildly as her cunt grabbed and milked that cock for everything she was worth. But the with the speed he was going at, she barely had time to enjoy her first orgasm before a second washed over her, her body growing more and more tired with each passing second. Zummi was panting and huffing, pressing his body against hers as his glasses slid down his muzzle. Arching his back, he gave a wheezing bellow as he starts to cum, firing a truly huge amount of cum into the female under him. Her eyes fluttered before her head fell to the side as he pulled out, purple cum spurting onto her fur and dribbling out of her. Zummi panted as his body returned to normal, shuffling towards the door as he blinked slowly.

___________________________

The next morning, all the Gummies were at the table later than usual. But by the time they got there, Grammi had produced a breakfast far better than any she had made in ages. None of them spoke of the night before, unsure if it was a dream or what it had been. But all that they knew was that they had couldn't remember the last time they slept that well.
