Megan and her best friend, Rachel, were sitting in Rachel's living room, watching a cartoon, while their mothers sat in the kitchen, drinking coffee and chatting. Rachel was clearly bored out of her mind, though Megan ignored this for the most part, her attention focused on the television screen. When the cartoon ended, Rachel gave a cheer and turned off the TV.
"Finally!" she said. "I thought that thing would never end!"
"Why?" ten-year-old Megan asked. "What's up?"
Twelve-year-old Rachel grinned. "Wanna play a game?"
"What's the game?"
"I call it 'inflate the small fry'," Rachel said.
Megan looked at her quizically. "What? Who's the small fry?"
"You are, of course," Rachel said. "My parents were going through the junk in the attic, and they found a machine that's used for inflating a bunch of balloons at once. It's probably used for those big parties the rich kids have. It seems to work, too! They're going to sell it, but I want to play with it first!"
"By inflating me?" Megan asked. Rachel grinned and nodded. "But I'm not a balloon!" Megan protested.
"It wouldn't hurt to try!" Rachel said, grabbing Megan's hand and leading her out of the living room.
"But... if it works, would I pop?" Megan asked.
"Well, when you feel like you're about to pop, just give me a signal to turn off the machine. That way, you won't pop," Rachel said. "Wave your hand or something."
The girls went into the attic, and Rachel led Megan to the machine. It didn't look like much- it was just a box, with several air hoses attached to one side, and a large vent on the other side. Rachel picked up one of the air hoses and smiled at Megan. "Well, wanna give it a try?" she asked.
Megan looked extremely nervous as she hesitated. "Um...... okay."
"Awesome!" Rachel cheered. She stuck the air hose into Megan's mouth, and put her finger on the power button of the machine. "Remember, if you feel like you're going to pop, wave your hand."
Megan nodded, and Rachel turned on the machine. It hummed to life, and the fans turned on with a loud whirl. Megan stood there for a bit, the hose in her mouth; she moaned as the air started rushing into her. At first, nothing seemed to happen, but Rachel gave a cheer as Megan's stomach began to expand. Megan rubbed her stomach and moaned as it got bigger and bigger. When her stomach became about two feet big, the rest of Megan's body began to inflate as well, while Rachel watched in fascination. Her arms and legs began filling with air, and her torso just got wider and wider, shoving her arms and legs apart, so she looked like a bloated star. Rachel couldn't help but grin as Megan's arms and legs began disappearing into her inflating body, the skin of her limbs stretching to seemingly "morph" with her torso. Megan began moaning louder and louder, as her body got rounder and rounder. Soon, her feet, hands, and head were the only things sticking out, and she started waving her hands frantically.
"Is that as big as you can get?" Rachel asked, disappointed.
Megan nodded and moaned louder.
"Darn it... I wanted to see you get to ten feet or something," Rachel sighed and turned off the machine. The fans turned off, and the air stopped moving into Megan. Rachel pulled the air hose out of Megan's mouth. "How do you feel?" she asked, poking her.
"Weird," Megan said, her voice strained. "I can't move... how are we going to deflate me?"
"I don't know... be right back," Rachel said. She dashed downstairs and into the kitchen, startling the mothers. She grabbed the waist measuring tape out of a drawer, and ran back into the attic, leaving Lauren (her mother) and Sarah (Megan's mother) sitting there, mystified.
Back in the attic, Rachel measured Megan's inflated body. "Hmm... four feet, two inches. You're four feet tall, so I guess you can only become as round as you are tall." Rachel prods Megan, causing Megan to bounce backwards a bit and lift off the ground, floating a foot or two above the floor. Smiling, Rachel began poking Megan with her finger, tossing her balloon friend up in the air, not letting her touch the ground.
"Rachel, stop!" Megan cried. "You need to deflate me!"
"But this is so much fun!" Rachel exclaimed.
"What's going on?"
Rachel froze at the sound of her mother's voice; Megan fell softly to the ground and bounced a few times as Lauren and Sarah walked over to them, Sarah a lot quicker than Lauren.
"Megan, honey, are you okay?" Sarah asked her daughter, her voice full of concern.
"Yeah, Mom," Megan said. "I just feel weird."
"I'm sorry!" Rachel exclaimed. "I was just having some fun!"
Lauren shook her head. "Rachel, you shouldn't treat your friends like this. It's not right. You could have seriously hurt Megan... in fact, we'll have to wait until we get that air out of her before we can make absolutely sure she'll be okay."
"I'm sorry..." Rachel said quietly, her eyes downcast.
Lauren glances at Sarah. "Try pushing the air out. I need to punish Rachel."
Rachel flinched. Sarah nodded, and began pushing down on Megan's stomach, gently at first. "Does this hurt?" she asked.
"N-," Megan began to say, but she was cut off as air began blowing out of her mouth. Sarah gave a sigh of relief and kept pushing down, forcing more air out of Megan.
On the other side of the attic, Lauren led Rachel to the inflation machine. "So, you used this thing, right?" she asked.
Rachel mumbled a "yes".
Lauren nodded, and picked up an air hose. "Well, I've always believed the punishment should fit the crime. Open your mouth."
Rachel's eyes widened as her mother's words sunk in, and she opened her mouth obediently, trying to hide her sudden excitement. Lauren stuck the air hose into her daughter's mouth and turned on the machine. Air began rushing into Rachel, who was unable to hide the excitement in her eyes. Lauren's stomach went into knots as she watched Rachel's belly begin to bloat. She sat in front of Rachel and put her hands on the girl's stomach, feeling it expand under her fingers. Rachel moaned as the air filled her body, like it had Megan's.
"Wow," Lauren whispered, feeling really horny. "That's amazing."
Rachel moaned and moaned, and continued to get bigger; her body shoved her arms and legs apart, bloating them as well. Her skin stretched further and further, consuming her arms and legs. Lauren shoved her face into Rachel's spherical body, feeling the tautness of the skin and hearing the rush of the air inside her. When she pulled herself away, she gave a jump when she saw Sarah standing right next to her. Sarah stared at Rachel in wonder.
"I didn't know that was possible," Sarah whispered, watching as Rachel's legs and arms disappeared, leaving Rachel looking like a ball with hands, feet, and a head.
Megan, who Sarah hadn't finished deflating, waddled over, her stomach still two feet wide and forcing her arms and legs apart. "She'll pop!"
"No, she won't," Lauren said. "Not yet, anyway. Her body still has room- once her hands, feet, and head are 'absorbed' by the rest of her, though, that will be her limit."
"She'll become completely round?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah..." Lauren said. "Rachel, do you want to stop?"
Rachel shook her head as best she could. Lauren smiled. "All right then."
As they watched, Rachel's feet and hands disappeared into her body. Her neck was soon to follow, and, as the skin of her head was pulled into the mass of flesh she'd become, Rachel was forced to look up. Soon, she was completely round- a seven-foot-wide ball with clothes (that had managed to stretch with her) and a face. Lauren quickly pulled the hose of her mouth, to prevent her from popping. "How do you feel?" she asked.
Rachel took a minute to respond. "Weird," she said, her voice sounding wobbly. "I can't move... I can't feel my arms or legs... I feel so light..."
Lauren nodded. "Does it hurt?"
"No, not really," Rachel said. "It's a strain... but it doesn't hurt."
Sarah swallowed, her eyes bugging out. "Do... you think..."
Lauren smiles, and gives Rachel a gentle push. Rachel rolls and bounces backward across the attic, giggling and "whoa"ing the entire way. She finally comes to a stop near the staircase. "Whee! That was fun!" Rachel exclaimed, her face looking down at the stairs.
Megan cleared her throat. "Um... Mom, can I be a ball, too?" she asked sheepishly.
Lauren looked at Sarah. Sarah swallowed again, glanced at Megan, and nodded. Lauren picked up one of the air hoses, hooked it up to the machine, and stuck it in Megan's mouth. Because Megan had been inflated once before, and because she was still inflated somewhat, the effects of the air were much quicker on her, and she quickly grew to three feet wide. As Lauren and Sarah watched, Megan's skin stretched and morphed until she was a complete ball, five feet wide. Lauren turned off the machine, and pulled the air hose out of Megan's mouth.
"Wow... this is cool..." Megan said, her voice wobbly, like Rachel's.
Lauren smiled, and lightly kicked Megan across the attic. She bumped into Rachel, and knocked her down the stairs with a bunch of "whoa"s and "oof"s. Lauren laughed and walked over to Megan. "You okay, Rachel?" she called down the stairs.
"Yeah!" Rachel called back up.
"Good." Lauren poked Megan, knocking her down the stairs. "Now, you two have fun, okay?" She glanced at Sarah, who was holding an air hose and looking at it nervously. "We'll be joining you soon."
