Getting up, JP walked over to Tommy and gently shook him. "Hey, Tommy," he gently urged, "wake up."
Grunting softly, Tommy began to wake up. Yawning, he slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"What is it, JP?" he mumbled, a bit irritated at the awakening. "I wanna sleep..."
"Sorry," JP apologized. Immediately, he set his plan into motion. "Ya hungry?"
Tommy thought about it for a few seconds, still groggy. He was pushed into wakefulness by his growling stomach. "Yeah, actually." Looking up at the older boy, he smiled. "Can we eat at the fruit trees?"
JP smiled, glad that his plan was working. "Sure!" Helping Tommy up, they set off, leaving the other three members of their group still sleeping.
In a few minutes, they had reached their destination. Looking up at the trees, Tommy's expression became one of delight.
"Wow, JP, I just realized: I'm REALLY hungry! Thanks for taking me here!" Immediately, the younger boy began picking as many fruits as he could, eventually amassing them in a sizable pile. As Tommy picked up a meat apple, he glanced at JP. "You want any, JP?" he asked.
JP shrugged. "Nah, I'm not really hungry this morning," he lied.
Tommy shot him a questioning look. "Ok, if you say so..." With those words, Tommy turned to the pile. Eyes gleaming, he set upon it, eagerly munching on the assorted fruit.
As Tommy worked through the large pile, JP watched, pleased.
'That's it, Tommy,' he thought, a bit more eagerly than he would have liked, 'eat, let that belly get big, yeah...'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
About half an hour later, Tommy finished. Falling back onto the ground, he sighed. "Oh, wow, I'm stuffed..."
By the look of his stomach, JP was convinced; it had grown to the point where the young boy's white shirt had been greatly stretched. Tommy's enlarged gut peeked out from underneath his shirt, just enough to expose the belly button underneath. The large belly was straining against his pants, threatening to give at any moment. Noticing this, Tommy sat up and unbuttoned his pants, allowing his stomach to expand to its full size and allowing even more of the lower part of his belly to show. Tommy sighed in relief, and laid back down.
"Hey, JP, I'm gonna go back to sleep here; is that okay?" he asked, stomach gurgling as it began to digest the vast amount of fruit.
JP had to keep himself from chuckling; this was going even better than he thought! "Sure, Tommy, I'll wait here with you."
"Thanks..." Tommy mumbled in a low voice, already beginning to doze off.
When the boy was fully asleep, though, JP began to reconsider; should he eat Tommy now, while he's vulnerable, or fatten him up a bit more?
