What Washed Ashore

Rick was practically bouncing with anticipation as he and his fox friend Spunky both walked through the valley between two massive, overgrown sand dunes towards the cove he'd found. He was excited, and the prospect of finally getting to share that excitement with such a close friend on her birthday was the sort of thing that would make anyone grin from ear to ear.

Many months of preparation had gone into this, as he had been putting together something special that was getting slightly better every day, and the only way to share it with her was to help her make the sort of change that only a potion could give her. She was a fox, and he was a shox - similar, but part shark - which meant that they both had slightly different realms in which they could interact.

Spunky was definitely the adventurous type, and she was not shy about trying new things or getting involved in the sorts of things that a fox really shouldn't be involved with, but that didn't mean that she could go anywhere or do anything. There were limits ahead of her imagination, and that's why Rick was happy to go out of his way to break down those barriers and help her find new ways to have fun and explore more of the world.

A few months prior, while he was exploring and trying to find a place to call his own away from home, he came across this cove, a rather large yet somehow hidden crescent moon shaped stretch of beach nestled between two large sets of cliffs that people didn't bother to explore due to the treacherous nature of them and the fact that there was nothing of significance in the bay. As such, this cove was virtually untouched by the hands of the people.

That was, except for where it wasn't. Soon after Rick had found this secret, hidden location, he had swam out into the ocean near where the two cliffs threatened to meet and headed out over the sandbar to the depths beyond and found something that he was not expecting.

Deep beneath the waves, at least fifty meters below the surface, lay an underwater shrine adorned with carved stone spires, a temple built into the rocky shelf of the depths, and what looked like a coliseum below. It wasn't clear whether this beautifully ornate location was meant to be above the sea level or if it had sunk to below, but it was gorgeous and covered in multicoloured coral and well preserved enough to share with others without worry of being seen or interrupted. In the months that led up to her birthday, he had been returning to shuffle things around and get it all gussied up to make it more habitable for the two of them, including adding a pair of chairs next to the altar so they could sit.

The plan was to take her out to this location after feeding her a potion that would give her shark-like features and abilities, thus enabling her to swim and breathe underwater. Rick had spent many coins to acquire a vial of potion that could do just that, an incredibly rare and concentrated enchantment that only a few mages or alchemists were able to create. Now, after months of prep, he was sharing this discovery with his friend for the first time, and he couldn't be happier. She was special to him.

"So what is this big surprise you have for me?" Spunky asked as her bushy fox tail swayed out behind her, the two of them making their way through the winding path that connected his hidden crescent-shaped beach and the jungle path that had woven through the bush that lined the coast. She carried with her a rather large quilt that was draped over her shoulder. She had an idea for what was to come but was completely in the dark about the potion and underwater temple.

Rick carried a basket that was filled with food, careful to not let any sand fall from the dunes and into it, as he was not a fan of eating sand. "Wouldn't be much of a surprise if I told you, now would it?" He asked with a toothy grin. "But I'll tell you that it's pretty great. At least I hope it is. I think it is and I hope you do, too." He was sure to not give away any hints, not yet.

She pushed forward, kicking at the sand and playing with it between her paw pads. "Well it better be good, we came a long way from the trail and you're making me work for it on my birthday. If it's anything less than outstanding, I'll be sure to take it out of your ass!" She stuck her tongue out and pressed at her cheek to peel her lower eyelid down, being playful as could be until she got a single grain of errant sand in her eye that caused her to wince and start blinking.

It was just sand, and Rick knew he couldn't do anything to help so he just teased her and walked by. "That's what you get." He said with a chuckle before pulling the quilt off her shoulder and leading her through the rest of the winding path between the overgrown sand dunes. "But we're almost there, so hurry up and defeat the sand and join me; don't slow me down, girl!"

"Grr, you can be such an ass, Rick." She growled at him, still clearly not angry but teasing back nonetheless. "Once I've destroyed this sand and its cousins, the dunes shall bask in my glo-" After a few blinks and an idle rub with her fingertip, she was able to pull the single bit of sand out of her eye. "My glory! Yes, they shall, uh, tremble in fear before me. See that? They are collapsing on their allies and falling down the mountain to revel at my paws!" She pointed to a small bit of sand that had trickled down the side of the dune that her tail had brushed past.

"Glory, you say? What glory? I just see a goofy fox who doesn't know to keep her hands out of her eyes. I'd hate to feed you spicy food, you'd pick your nose and be leaking snot for hours!" Rick laughed as he took the final turn between the tightest passage between the dunes, basket in one hand and quilt over the other shoulder. "But pick yourself up, we're here!"

Spunky smiled and leapt through the last bit of the trail to emerge at the edge of the beach with a smile on her face only to have it slowly drain from her visage. When she looked over at him, it was with a hint of disdain. "Wait, is this it?" She asked, motioning towards the empty beach and open waters ahead of them. "I thought you said you had a party or something in mind."

Rick perked his ear up and slowly shook his head. "No, this is not it, there's a phase two to this but the first part just involves us enjoying a picnic on the beach! Alone." He immediately realized how much that may have sounded creepy, so he clarified. "I mean, it's all about prep. This is my beach, and I wanted to share it with you before we go to the actual gift."

Her eyes narrowed and she smiled. "Alright, I trust you, but it better be good."

"I agree," Rick said as he stepped out towards the shore and set down the basket. He then spread out the quilt and tugged on each of the corners to flatten the wrinkles before inviting her to come sit by patting it. "Now sit your rump down, it's time for lunch." He kicked his paws free of sand before sitting cross-legged on the edge of the quilt with the basket off to the side, waiting for her to join him.

With a tentative tap of her toes on the opposite edge of the quilt, she did the same and sat down, also cross-legged. "You know, I love ya to pieces and all, but I was really hoping for something a bit more significant than a picnic basket lunch for my birthday." She opined, forcing a smile as the soft sloshing of the surf washing ashore created the backdrop. "But I will say that this is quite nice. It's serene, we're alone, and...wait, you're not trying to get under my tail, are you? You know I'm taken!"

"Ugh, yes, I am well aware you are taken and I am not trying to be tricky with you. Trust me, when you see what I have in mind for us, you'll see it's nothing like that. You know me better, and you can trust that I'm not the type to slyly steal you from your mate. I mean, if I wanted a piece, I'd just ask! I admit I don't think you're all that monogamous, are you?" He leaned over and flipped over the flap of the basket to root around inside it and get the first serving of their meal: some nice, battered sushi rolls.

She tried her best to peek around him and get a better look but found that he was blocking the line of sight between her and what was in the basket. "Depends on my mood. I don't tend to play unless I have permission, and it is my birthday, but-" She shook her head and chuckled at him. "Doesn't matter, I just wanna know what you have in there for me! I'm excited!"

That was when Rick turned around with a wooden platter specifically designed to hold six full sushi rolls, each with six pieces of sushi post-cut. The platter was designed like a ship, with stained wood for the bow, stern, and hull. "This is just the appetizer, but I think it's a great way to start our day." He then pulled out two pairs of gorgeously carved chopsticks and laid them on each side of the platter as he rotated it on the quilt to make a shaped depression in the sand beneath. "Voila!"

Her eyes perked up and her tail started wagging, its fur splashing out bits of sand. "Awesome! And I see about half of them are tempura'd, was that for me? I'm not as into seafood as you are."

Rick nodded, broadly grinning back at her. "Precisely! I know you like sushi, but the tempura batter and the dip that goes with it are more for you. I know you like the crunch and the flavours." He clutched his chopsticks in one paw and mixed up some of the wasabi before putting a dollop on one of his non-battered sushi rolls with cucumber, shrimp, and salmon roe. "Eat up! This is just the appetizer, but I think it's a good start." He urged before popping the first of the sushi rolls in his maw. He was prepared to wince since he wasn't the type to handle wasabi's heat, but this was a mild variant.

Spunky was hesitant to follow suit but figured that since it was her birthday it made sense to go on a bit of an adventure by trying some wasabi and what looked like high-end soy sauce on one of hers. As expected, the wasabi was a bit too much for her and she winced in pain as its heat permeated her gullet, but the sensations didn't last and she was soon left with only the flavor of the sushi, the batter, the soy sauce, and even the wasabi all blending in such a way that she couldn't help but smile. "That's pretty good, I admit." She said as she wiped her lip of the drool that threatened to trickle out. "Little spicy, but it works." In truth, she was shocked at how mild it truly was, as wasabi was known for heat and it was little worse than a noriel pepper.

"I know my seafood." He said with a wink as he grabbed another roll and saluted her, tapping stick to stick while they shared a second piece. The mild wasabi was more about flavour and less about the heat, so they were able to enjoy their meal in peace without burning tongues as the waves continued to lightly caress the sandy shores.

Together, it didn't take them long to finish off the sushi boat. They laughed, they joked about how the solitude might make them both horny for each other but had no intention of satisfying that hunger, and Spunky tried her best to guess at what it was that Rick had planned for her without positive results. He had no intention of ruining the surprise for her, at least not until they got to that course.

When he reached back into the basket to get the main course, he facepalmed as he saw he'd messed up. The sushi boat was supposed to be the main course, and the shrimps and dip he'd brought were in a goblet off to the side, curved around the lip with the dip inside. He grabbed it by the neck and placed it on the sushi boat where the wasabi was held.

"This is the main course?" Spunky asked as she prodded at one of the shrimps. "Seems like it's not all that substantial compared to the delicious sushi you fed me."

Rick rolled his eyes and sighed. "That's on me. Got these out in the wrong order. Was supposed to get it all out at once with the shrimp dip on top and the sushi on the deck. We'd eat our way down, starting with the shrimp and dip." He shrugged. "Ah well, it's still delicious. The dip is a blend of seafood sauce with shredded crab meat, some more of that very tame wasabi, and a mystery ingredient to give it a bit of extra zing. I can't tell you what it is because I can't pronounce it, but I assure you it's delicious and it won't kill you."

"That's always a relief." She said as she grabbed for the tail of a shrimp. After dragging it through the dip, she squeezed the carapace to force the meat out of the tail's holster as she sucked on the body and began to chew. It was delicious, seafood with a fruity tang to it; once she was done with her chewing and gulping it down, she complimented him. "And I'm relieved that this is delicious!"

He let out a long, extended sigh and a smile; he wasn't sure if she'd like it even though he did, so he was glad to see that he made the right choice. Content with her response, he grabbed a shrimp and did the same thing, scooping up some of the dip and enjoying the flavour before swallowing it. Once more, they casually conversed as they enjoyed the meal.

It was Spunky who brought up an observation. "I'm noticing a seafood theme thus far. I don't suppose your big surprise would have to do with the ocean, would it?"

"What? No. The surprise was the sushi boat. The shrimp and dip were supposed to be the first surprise with the sushi boat being the big reveal. I really messed that one up, didn't I?" He struggled internally to keep a straight face in an attempt to convince her; the only way he could keep his cool was to eat another shrimp and avert his eyes.

She glared at him and lowered both of her ears. She knew he was lying, but wasn't the type to be ungrateful that someone would take this much effort out of the day for her either way, so she nodded and smiled, toasting him shrimp to shrimp. "Fair enough. This is quite nice."

This threw Rick off his game. He twitched and shook his head, confused. "Wait, what? No, I was kidding. There's still a surprise; I wouldn't do that to you."

"I know, but I wanted to see you squirm a bit." She winked and tossed back another shrimp, finishing off the goblet before getting to her feet and stretching. "But, much as I like to tease, I do think that I'm pretty satisfied from all this sushi and shrimp. Do you mind if we go for a walk?" She offered a paw to help him up.

Rick's heart was racing, but he smiled and nodded as he accepted her help up. Once he was on his feet, he brushed himself off and closed the lid of the picnic basket with his tail. "Alright, you got me there, but I forgive you." He then glanced up and down the beach, noting that there wasn't anything of note in either direction, just seemingly endless shore until the beach gave way to rocky cliffs. Though he was quick to internally question her need to walk, he knew that sometimes a walk was its own reward; there didn't need to be a destination in mind to assign value to it. "Sure, let's head out!"

The both of them made their way to the shore until they felt the surf washing over their paws, where they happily sauntered away from their picnic quilt and basket. The sound of waves hitting the sand was therapeutic and distracting, but it didn't keep Spunky from prodding about her surprise.

"So, are we there yet? Can you tell me what the big surprise is?" She turned and walked backwards, keeping pace with him as her tail wagged behind her. "We've had two courses to what I presume is a three-course meal, you gotta tell me now!"

"I don't have to tell you anything, but I promise you'll see it when the time is right. For now, just relax and enjoy the solitude." He veered into the shallows, up until the point the water was washing over his knees. "And the water is quite warm, thanks to the shape of the cliffs and the cove. You should totally come in!" He gave her a splash, to which she humorously recoiled.

Spunky glared at him and kicked some of the wet sand his way. "Hey, piss off." She joked. "But seriously, I'm not that into getting wet. Not in my clothes, anyway."

"Then take em off." He casually suggested. "It's just you and I here, and you have my word I won't pounce you or anything. Not like I've never seen your lady bits before."

She pondered this for a moment before nodding in agreement. "You make a good point. Sure, alright." After that, she quickly peeled her clothes off and kicked them to the side, leaving her garments in a little pile near the shore. Once she was fully nude, she skipped her way back to the shore and splashed him with a kick. "Got ya back! And wait, why aren't you stripping, too?"

"No need! I'm not the one worried about getting my clothes wet and I wear stuff that's designed for water work, so they dry quick." He explained, acting like this was common knowledge.

"I see how it is, you just wanted an excuse to get me naked so you could be a kinky little shark voyeur. I understand you, now! I'm onto your tricks, rick." She accused as she kicked up some more water at him. "Not that it's any sort of a problem. I'd much rather be without clothes if I could help it. Fur and fabric in this weather is a hell of a combo." She leaned over and splashed herself to cool off.

Rick did the same, but he just fell back with his arms out to make a splash. As he floated, he used his broad, shark-like tail to propel him away from her. "Don't worry, I won't make you go too far out, there's really nothing out there but more water and sand."

She leapt forth and grabbed his tail, pulling him back towards her so she could sit on his belly, pinning him in place. "Good, because I don't want to get lost in the ocean. If I die at sea, I promise you will be my number one haunting victim."

"That seems fair." He joked as he looked up at her nude form. He wasn't here to take advantage of her and had no intention of turning this into a sexual encounter, but it was hard not to get aroused with a sexy purple and blue fox straddling one's hips. He did feel a swell in his pants but did his best to conceal it and focus on something else. "But if I somehow fail to keep you safe, then I guess I deser-"

Spunky twitched and flailed and she jumped back, causing quite the commotion in the process. She seemed shocked and terrified of something that brushed her ankle. "Guaaahaha!" She cried as she ran to shore, leaving Rick alone floating above whatever it was that she saw. Though she wasn't the type to shy away from the unknown, there was something deeply unnerving about some random thing that she couldn't see brushing up against her ankles that she wasn't comfortable with, so she quickly darted back to shore where it couldn't bother her.

"What?" Rick asked as he got to his feet. "It's just, uh..." He ducked below the surface to see what he could find; his eyes worked underwater due to the half of him that was shark. He saw nothing of note, at least not at first. Only when he swam closer to shore while crawling on all fours with his shark fin poking up out of the water that he saw a teal mass of goop wiggling and writhing about in the water, with tiny tendrils splayed out in all directions. It looked to him like a blend of an octopus and jellyfish that was semi-translucent and cloudy all at once.

Rick didn't know what it was that was before him, but he did know it wasn't dangerous. If it was, it would have stung her or something. Knowing this, he slid his hand up under it and pulled it out of the water with him as he got to his feet again, shaking the water off his face. "See? It's fine." He said to Spunky, who was still standing tall on the shore where the surf failed to reach her toes. "I think."

She growled at it as her hair stood on end. "Get it away from me." She demanded. "I am fine with sea creatures, but not weird jelly things I don't understand."

As if the creature understood her, it melted in Rick's hands and returned to the sea, where it dissipated into nothingness while leaving a cloud of teal in its wake.

"Good." She said. "Or not good, I really don't know. I guess nothing deserves to die, but, wait, was it even a creature or just some jelly mass?" She stepped back into the water but didn't go too deep.

Rick swirled his paws through the water to clean them off. "Hard to tell, really. I mean, it could have been squid jizz for all I know. Never seen anything like it but it looked kinda like what I imagine an octopus would if it had been blended with a squid and given the body translucency of a jellyfish. Didn't sting, though, so I imagine it's fine. You know what, let's forget about all that and go have dessert. That's where your surprise is hidden." He winked and returned to the shore, where the both of them went to pick up her clothes and head back to the quilt.

Once there, he got her to brush off as best she could, ensuring that she wouldn't get any of it in her dessert. He then sat her down and got to his knees next to the basket while she excitedly bounced on the quilt in such a way that it twisted its fabric a bit, displacing the sand beneath.

"Hold on a moment there, Spunks." He cautioned her as he washed his hand through the basket. "You'll have your treat soon enough!" As he spoke, he found what he was looking for: a cooler filled with their dessert in another goblet, pre-made. When he took it out, he peeled the lid off and put the goblet next to the one that held their shrimp cocktail.

"Oh, what's this?" She asked, maw agape and tongue out. She was drooling, despite being full.

"This, my dear, is an avocado lemon sorbet with uriel fruit." He explained, then went back into the basket to get more, a series of orange striped meat that he stabbed around the outside of the goblet. "And these strips are candied, smoked salmon."

Spunky excitedly clapped as her tail wagged out behind her. "This is all so wonderful, but how is this a surprise? Just more seafood." She wasn't disappointed, but she was still confused since Rick had made such a point of telling her that he had a huge surprise for her. This was nice, but not huge.

He found her excitability endearing, so he didn't get insulted by her disappointment. "Well, that's not all." Once again he found himself the last piece to his present: A tiny vial of lavender potion. When he emerged with it, she cocked her head to the side, still confused, so he explained as he poured it over the sorbet. "This here is an incredibly rare and potent transformation potion. I had it custom made for you so that you could join me in what I found just offshore."

Her gaze grew increasingly interested the more he spoke to the point she couldn't help but bounce. "T-transformation? Is that actually a thing that can happen?"

"Yeah! It's not common and incredibly hard to do, but it can be done. That's why it's such a hard and special thing to do. I mean, uh, that's why it's expensive. Want to know how it works, and what you can expect so there's no surprise?" He let the final few drops of the lavender potion trickle on top of the sorbet before corking it up and tossing the vial back in the basket.

"I'm honestly more concerned about its safety. Are you entirely sure this will be fine?"

Rick grabbed two spoons and gave one to Spunky before tapping the side of the goblet. "I'm quite certain it will be perfect. I asked around, cross-referenced, and was sure to only go to the one person who I was told could do it in this region to make the potion. He - or she, I'm not sure and it doesn't matter - was an orange and yellow dragon-avian hybrid of some sort. Name was Satsierra. Said he was one of only a few dozen people the world over who could even do transformation magic, let along use it to enchant a potion. Naturally, I was hesitant and skeptical, but he showed me by shifting his body into that of a feathered snake before turning back. Yeah, he was legit, I promise."

She took the spoon and scooped some of the sorbet from the goblet but stopped before she popped it into her mouth. "Alright, I trust you. What can I expect from this? Am I going to melt?"

"Hah, no. This is a potion to basically turn you into the same thing I am. Part shark, part fox. Shox, as we call ourselves. I'm already a shox, so it won't have any effect on me." He took a spoon full himself and waited for her to eat it before taking a bite, broad toothy grin on his face.

Though there was something that seemed odd about this all, Spunky had never been given a reason not to trust Rick in their storied past, so she went ahead and enjoyed the first bite of her sorbet, potion and all. It was, of course, quite delicious on its own even if the potion added a texture that didn't go well with the dessert. Once she had her bite, Rick did the same and they each enjoyed the candied salmon strips. Only then did she decide to prod a bit deeper to find out more.

"So what exactly is the surprise?" She asked as she took another bite of the sorbet. "You said the transformation will give me what I need to go out into the ocean and see what you have for me, but what is it that I can expect?"

"I'd like to tell you that asking ruins the surprise, but by this point, I figure I've told you enough that it won't matter. I found what I think is a shrine or a temple underwater built into the shelf beyond the sandbar. It's covered in coral reef and it's gorgeous!" He took another bite, but then cocked his head to the side when he saw a tiny bit of teal gel on the underside of Spunky's hind paw. He reached out to point at it. "I think you've got something on your-"

Spunky turned to look and did what she could to stifle an expression of shock. Whatever it was, it wasn't hurting her. "Alright, I got it." She peeled it off her paw and held it up with its tentacles dangling down. "Give me a minute, I'll to let this guy back in the ocean. No idea what it is, but it does not appear to be harmful. At least it's not some monster bug or something." She got up and quickly skipped her way over the hot sand to drop the teal goo creature in the water, watching as it dissolved.

This made her a little sad, as she assumed she somehow killed it, but she figured there wasn't anything she could do about it so she quickly turned and made her way back to the quilt and Rick.

However, as she made her way across the sand she got a look at her own hand and couldn't help but stop in her tracks. She was partially translucent, just like the goo creature on her foot. When she raised her paw to hold it up to the sun, she saw that parts of herself were turning to goop and were threatening to drip into the sand. "Hey, Rick, did you put drugs in that potion? I feel like I'm turning into a liquid." She observed, still dead in her tracks.

Rick looked up at her to see her form shifting and melting into something very different from what she started with. He was curious, but not concerned at first. "That's part of the transformation process, your body will feel like it's melting at first until it solidifies." He spoke with confidence, but couldn't help himself when it came to trying to get a better look at her. She hadn't yet grown translucent throughout her body yet so she just looked like a slightly larger, slightly puffier version of herself.

Still, he couldn't help but pay close attention to her. She wasn't the type to overreact, so if she said something felt off then it must have meant something felt off.

The longer she stood there, the stranger she felt. As she stared at her paw, she saw her fingers shift and morph from a dexterous anthro state to a stubbier feral look followed by her limb widening and bulging like she was a balloon being filled with warm water. Then, out of nowhere, the purple of her forearm went solid again and she internally assured herself that she was fine. Just a process of the transformation and she was fine. At least, that was how she felt until her hips melted and made her fall onto all fours with her thick tail out behind her and wings propped out from her shoulders.

"Wait, that's not right," Rick noted as he watched her shift and melt and reform before his very eyes. "You're supposed to look like me..." He trailed off as he got to his feet, cautiously drawing closer to her. He reached out and saw clearly that she had been shifting and swelling and bulging in place as her torso grew semi-translucent. Before long, her entire belly and digestive tract could be seen, like her abdominal wall was made of a balloon and her insides were still normal. That didn't last long, though, as her guts soon faded into the same teal colour as her belly flesh. "A-are you alright?" He asked her.

"I think so." She answered as best she could. Her voice had grown deeper thanks to the shift in her body's shape and size, and she found speaking to be slightly odd, but she otherwise felt just fine. She kept an eye on her limbs to see what they had shifted into and saw that she was basically a dragon while still retaining her colours and some of her natural fox features. "Was this what was supposed to happen?" She shook herself off to see if any of her liquid body splashed away but found she was able to stay in one piece.

Rick pressed his hands up against her belly, maw agape in shock. "No. This was not what was supposed to happen at all; you were supposed to look like me, add some gills, get a sweet tail and fin, but not this bloated dragon creature." He lightly tapped her and ran his fingers across her skin to feel the liquid nature of her organic matter. "Do you feel alright?"

She nodded and raised a hand to her face, rubbing paw to cheek. "Other than feeling like I have to concentrate to stay solid, I feel great! Watch!" She hopped up and did a belly flop on the sand with her body distending and widening like a dropped balloon before retaining its shape and bouncing her back to all fours. "Whee! I'm bulbous!"

"Indeed you are!" Rick remarked as he pressed his palm to her belly. "But this isn't right."

"Right? Wrong? Who cares, this is cool. Watch!" She then flopped down onto her belly and rolled sideways over him, pinning him to the ground before she got to all four and shook off once more as bits of her melty, goopy body trickled down her abdomen. "See? I'm much more awesome now. And, uh, I'm hungry. Have you got more yummy noms in your basket?" She raised her ears and had the fur of her purple mane standing on end like an alert dog.

Though there remained that feeling of dread deep within Rick, he couldn't help but give into her manic energy. Rather than concern himself with the minutiae of how the potion worked or what might have gone wrong - he assumed it was that goop creature that they'd interacted with in the water - he decided that it would be best to give in and have fun rather than ruin the mood. She was happy, so he should be as well. He leapt up onto her back and patted her shoulders under the wings. "Yeah, damn right you are awesome! Off to adventure!"

"Awww, no food then? I'm really hungry!" She whined, her new body giving off a deep moan.

"Sorry, I didn't bring any more food. Didn't you just eat a huge three-course seafood meal?"

She twisted her head and nodded, looking him in the eyes as he straddled her back. "Uh huh, but I'm bigger now and I need more food." Her body then shifted, her skin slid around her torso, her limbs twisted, and her neck adjusted so that she was still looking at him while he was straddling her, but now she was on her back and he was on her belly despite neither of them moving. "I know! I'll eat you!"

Rick blinked, unsure how to take that. "Wait, are you sure that's a g-"

Spunky smiled and grabbed Rick by the shoulders with both her big goopy paws and pinned his arms to his side as she opened her maw wide. The flesh of her gaping gullet dripped onto itself, its gooey mass spreading between her jaws like melted cheese before the bridges of goop collapsed down her throat. Her teeth were there but looked more like cartilage than bone. In one powerful heave, she shoved Rick's face down her throat, gullet gulping and tongue undulating under his neck as she used all four of her limbs to stuff him in her throat.

Rick thought about resisting and struggling, but knew that one of the effects of the potion were to make her body habitable - not as part of the surprise, but as an added bonus! Satsierra the potion maker was in some ways affiliated with The Vore House, so his potions all came with that enchantment. As such, he happily squirmed and slithered down her throat as her goopy flesh distended and stretched around his body, smothering him and hugging his torso while also malforming to fill in all the gaps between limbs and body.

Her flesh was that of ooze, soaking into his fur and squeezing while also making him feel like he was simply being dunked in molasses. The thick, viscous nature of her innards were sweet and pleasant in a way he didn't expect, but it still took much of his strength and self-control to allow himself to attempt to breathe. In the end, he did so through his gills, allowing her slime to pass through his neck and nourish him that way.

In an odd sense, having the viscous mass of her passing through his gills was nicer than water.

As such, he happily gave in to her hunger and slithered his way deeper through her maw, which passed effortlessly over his fins and torso and legs to slurp him down with ease. Once she closed her maw around his feet, her lower jaw reformed into the shape of a proper jaw and her tongue lolled out. Her innards were all a gentle aquamarine, and everywhere on her body that was that colour was semi-translucent and gooey. The purple parts of her - the skin on her back and legs and the upper half of her head - were all solid, at least on the outside.

Very peculiar, but it didn't seem to be any sort of problem for her so she didn't bother trying to correct it or worry about it. She did, however, enjoy the sensation of being filled with a shox in her belly that seemed to float in her torso with few cares. She slapped her belly goop and pulled strands of herself away to get Rick's attention. "Hey!" She waved to him, able to see him through her belly goop.

Rick couldn't hear her, but he could feel the slap and was able to open his eyes and see out of her. Everything outside of her appeared blurry and aquamarine, but he could actually see her grinning face smiling down at her through her clear abdominal wall. He waved and smiled, only to find that something was still restricting him. He was suspended in goop, sure, but it was like he was wrapped in jellyfish flesh on all sides; her digestive tract may have been partially retained, thus guiding him while giving him the illusion that her entire torso was made of gel.

Spunky rolled onto all fours and stretched out while dipping her back, tail outstretched and maw agape to belch only to find that her goopy interior only made bubbles of her own flesh in her gullet. Sensing that such a bubbly burp may have been uncouth, she covered her mouth and swallowed, an act that forced Rick to pass through her belly in a series of quick bends and twists. His noodly body, what with his long legs and tail, made simple work of her gut's passage to eventually make his way, snout first, against the inside of her rump's exit.

Curious, she gave her belly a squeeze as her abdominal membrane distended between her fingers, yet the pressure did ease him a bit deeper to the point where his muzzle parted her rump's hole and widened to spread her open. He gasped air for the first time but was quickly shifted through her in a gooey, squelchy, slime-covered lurch to land on the ground next to her, coated in the aquamarine mass of her gelatinous essence.

He blinked and got to his feet, trying his best to hold back the goofy grin that was tugging at the corners of his maw. That was fun, but he didn't want her to know that in case she decided to do it again without warning. This time he was covered in sand and didn't want to contaminate her body with that.

"Again!" She bellowed as she bounced on her belly, maw agape and ready to smother his face and upper torso once more. She was stopped by a shake of his head, which saddened her. However, once she saw him quickly hop over to the surf and dive in to clean himself of sand, she understood and broadly grinned as she waited.

Once he got close to her, she allowed her expression to slowly shift from happy and boisterous to more devious and needy. She licked her lips, but chose not to speak since doing so in this slime dragon form was a bit of a chore to her.

"What have you got in your mind, Spunks?" Rick asked, not sure if he wanted to know the answer. He had theories, but knowing her erratic behaviour it could have been just about anything.

Without giving him any hint or warning, she rolled over onto her back again and used her tail to make him fall forward onto her with his upper body and torso resting between her hind legs and the base of her tail with his chest right where her vent would be if she were made of flesh, fur, and scales. While he was there, she smiled and let her tongue loll out as she grabbed his snout with both front paws and used it to prod around her nether region until he found an opening amidst the slimy mass of belly.

He didn't bother resisting her at all. She was much larger than him now and was stronger than he, though he loved what she was doing regardless. Instead of struggling or twisting his body to get out of having to deal with what she wanted to do to him, he cradled her thighs with each of his arms and helped her out by prodding and nuzzling as best he could from every angle. He kneaded with his fingers and licked her until the two of them collectively found her vent, which allowed her control.

She immediately wrapped all four of her paws around him at the shoulders and hips before forcefully shoving his entire upper body into her, his muzzle leading the way through her pussy and eventual womb with one solid thrust. He could look out through her torso to see her smiling back at him with a grin, just long enough to adjust to his settings before she tugged him back out and left only the tip of his muzzle still smothered in the gooey depths of her vent, soaked in her slimy essence.

Before he could react or respond in any way, she wrapped both hind legs around him a second time and forced his entire upper body into him so that he slid through her sliminess and rubbed against what he was sure was the ethereal remnants of her birth canal. He was held tight in place by an unseen mesh of flesh that was inside her, so he smiled and brought his hands up through her opening to happily knead and massage against her malleable walls, eagerly pleasing her as he was thrust in and out.

Spunky truly had her namesake, as she found herself using all four limbs to pump him in and out as if he were a giant dildo, his body sliding against her walls and tugging at her goopy flesh with every motion. He tried his best to press out and caress her walls from within at the apex of every thrust, using his elbows and snout to give her the pleasure she so sorely needed.

In and out he was forced, his body pumping in and out of her with such speed and ferocity for so long that he slowly failed to discern between being pushed in and tugged out of her, for the slime of her innards had completely soaked into his fur and everything was a blur.

Eventually, after what felt like an eternity of being used as a living sex toy, the viscous mass of her slimy innards turned slightly solid, squeezing him in place as a slick lubricant swirled around him and filled what few gaps existed between his body and hers. The mass around him grew firm, then loosened up again with rhythmic precision as her body tensed up around him, the slimy flesh sputtering around his midsection with every contraction.

She was having an orgasm. Not just any orgasm, but a unique one borne of friction and slime.

Rick was able to identify this, so he brought his hands up to continue to knead at her walls, giving her a more intense sensation to accentuate the peaks of pleasure she was already experiencing. The walls tightened more around him, the goo solidified, and he pushed out even harder, the cycle repeating until she eventually relaxed and rolled in such a way that she was basically sitting on him.

From this position, she rocked back and forth with Rick partially submerged in her translucent torso, looking out to see the goofy, silly look on her face. She was twitching again, as sputtering bubbles of her own body fizzed around his hips, threatening to slime him the rest of the way down. Once more, she went to talk and thank him for his service to her as her sex toy, but instead, she curled her tail under her rump and squeezed tight, forcing Rick's hips to pop in past hers with ease, this easing the rest of his body into her pussy and eventually womb.

Given her gelatinous state, he had no problems being sucked up directly into her without the faintest hint of resistance. He even squirmed and slithered as his legs and tail were pulled up into her, eager to help use his body to please the birthday girl!

Once the last of him disappeared between her hind legs and into the aquamarine mass. He could still see outside her, even though a thin, transparent membrane smothered him on all sides, holding him within her womb. All he could do was wag his tail in her pussy with the tip teasing just at her opening from within. He was unable to speak to her just as she was unwilling to speak, but he hoped she'd at least try to head out into the ocean to see her surprise.

Luckily for the both of them, she seemed to pick up on this desire from him and quickly sauntered over to the beach with him swaying in her belly, his body all curled up inside her and still clothed but hard, his members having both slid out of their slit during her vigorous using of his form.

He gave himself a rub against the gooey mass of her uterine walls as she submerged herself into the shallow waters near the beach, where he was able to see that the cool temperature of the water transferred itself through her gooey essence with ease. This made him feel a little chilly, but in an odd way, it was more like slipping into a cold bed on a hot summer's night than being dipped in a pool.

This was perfect. And, given that he could breathe her body's slime through his gills, he tried his best to speak. "Out past the cliffs, dear. Over the shelf, you'll see it."

Spunky's ears perked up as she heard his instructions. Since she was underwater she couldn't respond, but she definitely could follow orders. With a smile on her face and pride in her heart, she happily swam through the open waters to the surprise that waited for her past the sandbar on the edge of the ocean shelf. It was, after all, her birthday! She deserved this!
