Herry's Balloon Buffet

Accidentally didn’t pay the inflated bill, suffered explosive consequences. Featuring Me & Floren as the customers, with Herry being the waiter of the delectable latex delights
This short story is in association with a drawing I commissioned from a lethally stupid bun cat  addde who's illustration of my colorful record is seen on their profile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WHAM! The front doors of Herry’s restaurant swung open, and a white curvaceous woman, whose breasts arrived before she did, stepped into the building. "Loosen those valves, because I’m ready for one hell of a bakery bloating~!” She shouted with glee, throwing her head and hands up towards the ceiling. Behind her trailed a happy go lucky dark feline who's height is half of their friend. A blue mammal with ears as tall as their legs had approached them. "Greetings, I am Herry, manager and waiter of this establishment. How may I service you today?" he said whilst eyeing his customers up and down, mostly noticing the woman’s imposing height. “Yes, I’m Ech0 and this is- wait- where are you?” Ech0 had only just opened her eyes after making her entrance, and was confused until the feline trailing behind her poked her thigh. Ech0 then bent down, hands at her hips, and chest now at Herry’s eye level. “Ah. Didn’t imagine you’d be a pipsqueak. Well anyways, this here’s Floren, and we’ll dine your full course!” Ech0 wrapped her arm around the cats shoulder, making a cartoonish squeak as he’d been pulled into her side. There was rattling as he rapidly nodded his head in agreement. “Okay, right this way please.” Herry lost his smile once he turned around, ranting to himself internally about Ech0’s rude entry and comment as he lead them to the most spacious room within the restaurant. "Whoooa, talk about a warehouse. You could fit a bouncy castle in here!" Floren said, amazed by the emptiness surrounding their assigned seating. "You two get comfortable while I fetch your first meal. They'll float towards you on their own so gobble up what you can grab."

[1 Party sized feast later]

An aroma of freshly stretched rubber dominated the dining room where Herry's ravenous customers devoured his latex delights. They’ve since grown out of being opaque, and a captivating rainbow of balloons shone through their semi-transparent bellies. While Ech0 was savoring her balloons, Floren ate enough to become equally as big as her. Their busts were twice the size of their own heads, arms rounded like jumbo marshmallows, middles fit for a car, and have bakery’s large enough to house several wedding cakes. As they continued depleting the floating entourage into their puffy faces, Herry felt it’s time to offer the balloon animal and air mattress an empowering desert. "My goodness, you’re both looking rather full of my banquet." Herry admired his bulbous patrons as their squeaking, creaking, and groaning drowned out his voice. "You pretty blimp-o's should pop any second now~" This having caught Echo’s attention, momentarily ceased her rubbery munching. "Oh pardon my deafness, did you say something?” Ech0 excused herself, unaware of Herry’s comment. "No worries, I’m just wondering if you’d like the power course now?” Before she could answer, Floren interrupted by shoving a balloon into Ech0’s mouth. “Mmph- Wow that’s good!” Ech0 reacted, muffled by the red rubber in her orifice which she swiftly replaced with orange as she continued packing her ballooned gut. This made Herry decide not to wait for an answer, and returned to the kitchen.

"Purr~ Now that’s good looning!" Floren exclaimed after swallowing a shiny blue balloon. You could hear the balloons straining as the blue one squeezed down past the others. The cat patted his own belly which sounded firm against the colorful bubbles trapped inside him. "I feel like I need to burp but then I’d be giving them an escape route~" Floren teased, looking down at his trapped prisoners, poking his surface as if to mock their lack of freedom being confined so tightly to his inner space. Ech0 felt her own sense of power when gulping the remaining rubber. She’d observe the balloons making room, pushing out her dome and making her bigger every time, and having eaten the last balloon made her feel undefeatable.

The kitchen doors slide out, venting a thick fog which Herry steps out of. He makes his way over to his customers, holding two silver platters presenting yellow balloons dawning the letter P. "FINALLY, some worthy opponents to devour~!" Ech0 called out, clapping her hands together which sounded like balloons butting into each other. Floren is just as excited, gesturing grabby paws towards the plates with his tongue out. “Dessert is served.” Herry bowed, placing both dishes at the table. Ech0 and Floren, like power vacuums, made quick work of the latex jellyfish. They’d already cleaned half the plates by the time Herry stood back up. Being this up close to his customers, he could hear every creak and groan from their huge bodies as they crammed balloons down their gullets. Sqrrrrk Squeeeak Streeeeech... Herry even saw doubles of himself reflecting on their rotund hides from how shiny they’d gotten. For a moment, he’d almost mistook them for weather balloons, forgetting that they’re people. They may as well be cannibals for how closely they resemble the food they’ve eaten. Herry couldn’t help himself, and pressed his hand into Floren, then Ech0, enjoying the sensation of both their rubbery strain against the sliding of his palms. They were so busy becoming sentient birthday party decorations that they hadn’t noticed him caressing their bellies. “I think I’ll go fetch the bill now~” Herry parted with those words to return into the kitchen.

"Oooough… Anymore and I’d rupture from my button center…" Despite Ech0's lethargic groaning, her belly argued with a deep growl, as if it’s hungrier than she is. "Ha... I definitely could fit more than you." Floren said, challenging Echo in a huffy tone. "Don’t tempt me fur mat, because I’ll make the next course go before- Omph.” A red balloon made its way up Ech0's throat, trying to escape from its pale bloated prison. She forced it back with her puffed hands, and took a little more effort than usual. "Hey uh... Where's the bill?" Floren asked whilst looking around to which Ech0 replied "Ugh, it's probably digital. We'll do it after we leave." As Ech0 tried moving, she tripped, landing into the ground with a bwoomp and the sounds of rubber settling. It wasn’t often she’d be so sizable, and she always needed adjusting, unlike Floren who simply floated. Her hips had gotten so wide that she had to waddle, and was cautious not to bump into any corners on the way out. Floren had no trouble pushing himself past the doorway, and had to help Ech0 by pulling her through as she kicked her legs about. Her body creaked loudly from the compression before she finally slipped out with a high pitched pop, surprisingly keeping her and her supper intact.

"Apologies for the wait, I had to-" Herry came out with the bill in hand, and was surprised to see an empty room. He was confused, wondering where his paying blimps rolled off to, even looking up to see if they'd floated up to the ceiling. If they popped, he’d hear it, and there wasn’t any scraps on the floor, but no way they'd leave without paying right? Herry looked out the window and raised his brow, disappointingly proven right, as a couple oversized cheapskates wandered off. "Well, I guess it’s true that you are what you eat." Herry said aloud before reaching to press a button under his bow tie. He returned his to his signature smug expression, eagerly watching the two dine dashers.
“You should consider losing that fancy skin of yours and going ghost. It’d let you do more as what you’re always meant to be~” Floren teased at Ech0, effortlessly moving in circles around her. “Oh sure. Lose my thunder thighs to become an ectoplasmic tadpole. No thanks” Ech0 didn’t hold back on the sarcasm but right after as if it was punishment... POP! It was a muffled, but a known sound to her. “Hehehe, that’s what you-” Then Floren emitted the same sound. A pop then another p o p and one after another, a gust of air let itself out from the balloons and filled them both, popping faster by the second.

Herry’s ear twitched picking up on the creeping sound of distant popping from the blimp duo’s direction. The sounds became increasingly louder as the balloons went in order from smallest to biggest. They hardly had time to panic like babloons as every crik and creak sounded their impending fate. "I wonder how this will affect the economy?" Herry joked to himself, snickering like a mischievous gremlin. Floren and Ech0’s limbs were losing definition, and only Ech0 had to deal with the cons of having legs. It was like night and day when they got to the second to last of the course, the P-Balloons. They billowed rapidly in every direction, and a flurry of balloon scraps swirled around in them like a snow globe of colorful rubber. Clearly they were far from full, and at their size, there's enough surface area to advertise Herry’s restaurant on.

No limb was safe from their spherical frames. Floren's tail begun rounding out whereas Ech0's horns resembled over inflated pool toys. Her hand digits and toes were all that remained of her original shape, and they'd sink into the humongous bombs they're attached to. Ech0 in a failed attempt for relief, puffed out her cheeks. Herry seeing this, chuckled at her expense, knowing she'll sustain that look for the rest of her expansion. The face of the dark and pale balloons were soon swallowed up by their own dangerously taut hides, and only the pressure continued to build. The ground rumbled from the resounding orchestra of hollow hissing, loud creaking, and intense groaning. Herry on que, gestured finger guns at the pair of blimps. FWEEEE! The screeching whines of hot tea kettles signaled the grand finale, small streams of air blew from them. They surged outwards one last meter... B A N G 💥 a deafening snap shook the building, reverberating for miles, and triggering car alarms in its wake. So many scraps flew as high and far as Herry’s eyes could see, unable to tell which scraps were his former customers and entrays. "Come back again sometime~" Herry said, casually waving a goodbye to the raining confetti before returning to his kitchen.
