Chapter 13

Everyone had gathered in Vaccine Girl and Sub Queen's shared apartment to address Vaccine Girl's...dietary decision.

Genos silently observed, Saitama hummed in thought, and Vaccine Girl groaned in annoyance from atop her swollen stomach.

A stomach that a semi-decently dressed Beast and Sub Queen kept poking for kicks.

"Will you two knock it off?" she growled at them.

"You're kidding, right?" Beast Queen snickered as she poked her finger deep into the bloated loli's stomach, making it ripple and sway from the action.

"You should've asked Saitama for some food to go." Sub Queen giggled before jumping when her stomach surged towards her, making her flinch back in surprise. "I guess they're still alive?"

"Yeah. Stubborn bastard." she sighed before flinching as her belly bulged a few more times.

"And...you're positive it's not a human in there?" Saitama asked.

"For the last time! It's not a human!" she said in aggrivation. "It was some monster called Tar!"

"Okay." Saitama nodded before turning to Genos. "And you found her walking this way on your way home?"

"Correct, though she looked to be having a difficult time dragging her stomach along the ground." the cyborg answered.

"PFFT!" Beast Queen let out through her tightly clamped maw. The Subterranean Queen wasn't faring any better, seeing as one set of arms were hugging her ribs, one hand was clamped over her own mouth, and her final hand was being used to prevent her from falling over.

"It's not funny!" Vaccine Girl snarled. "And when I asked for your help getting back here, I didn't mean to freaking roll me all the way here!"

And that was the last straw.

"AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Beast Queen and Sub Queen couldn't help themselves as they laughed themselves silly, the images they were getting from her story too funny not to laugh at.

"My ribs! MY RIBS!" Beast Queen chortled. "I HAVE GOT TO TELL MOSQUITO GIRL AND THE OTHERS!"

"S-STOP! NO MORE! PLEASE!" The Subterranean Queen begged, tears of laughter escaping all three of her eyes.

"FUCK YOU CUNTS!" Vaccine Girl roared before punching her own gut when it lurched again. "AND WOULD YOU HURRY UP AND DIGEST IN THERE?!"

"Why did you eat him in the first place?" Saitama asked. Vaccine Girl took a few deep breaths to calm down, but waited until the other two stopped laughing before she began.

"He tried to suffocate me with his tar. He left after I stopped kicking, but I got up afterwards when I couldn't hear his footsteps. Turns out, polluted air works wonderfully for me.

Plus, I got a bit in my mouth when I screamed and swallowed without thinking." she began, a smile back on her face. "Not only did I feel stronger from it, but it actually tasted pretty good."

"You like tar?" Saitama blinked.

"It may be because of what type of monster she is, Master." Genos surmized.

"Whatever the reason, the more I ate, the stronger I felt. Not a lot, but more than what I had earlier." Vaccine Girl said with a shrug before continuing. "Anyway, after eating what he covered my face with, I followed his footprints to where he was scaring some humans. We got into an arguement and he tried to kill me again. Guess where that got you?" She directed the question to her swollen gut, which groaned and swayed in response.

"So...how exactly are you fitting him in there?" Beast Queen asked, her finger poking the bloated monster's stomach.

"Remember when we first met?" she asked Saitama. "How I grew bigger before you punched me?"

"Something like that." he said as he vaguely remembered the fight. Boring fights ended with one punch didn't really stick out in his mind.

"Well, with all the tar he was flinging, I managed to swallow enough to enable a half-assed transformation. Nothing like how I used to be, but enough to finally grab the guy and shove him down my throat!" she finished as her belly lurched forward, causing her to flail her arms as she tipped over before landing on her face.

Genos pushed her back up while the other two monsters laughed anew. "Thanks." she muttered before sighing. "Unfortunately, I didn't think it through at that moment. I began losing energy and reverted back to this tiny form. Sadly, Tar didn't shrink with me."

"And then you starting dragging yourself home before Genos found you and rolled you the rest of the way here." Saitama finished with a nod. "So what now?"

"Well, I may be skipping breakfast tomorrow." she said as she looked down at her stomach. "...and lunch...and maybe dinner."

"Does that mean you don't want that plate we saved for you?" Beast Queen asked curiously.

"Does this look like a stomach that has any room for food?!" Vaccine Girl snapped as she slapped her hands on her stomach. She had expected her fellow monsters to laugh at her misery.

Grrrrrooooaoar!

Instead, everyone present merely backed away from her suddenly expanding form.

"No!" Sub Queen answered fearfully as Vaccine Girl continued to swell. "It looks like a stomach that's getting ready to blow!"

"RUN!" Beast Queen yelled as she and the others ran for the door.

"HELP! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?!" Vaccine Girl shrieked in panic as the door slammed shut.

"I suggest covering your ears!" Genos yelled as he did just that, with everyone else following his lead.

"...any second now." Beast Queen mumbled, her hands clamped over her ears. "...aaaany second..." She finally cracked one eye open, then both and blinked. "Nothing happened? No boom? No splat? No overly loud pop?"

"I don't know if that's a relief or not." the Subterranean Queen said as they all looked at the door.

"Hey! You okay in there?" Saitama asked after knocking on the door.

"I'm fine...sort of." came a response. They all looked at the door before Genos grabbed the handle.

"I can't look." Beast Queen said as she closed her eyes. She could hear the door open and...

"Oooooh...wooow." Sub Queen said intelligently. Beast Queen finally opened her eyes...then her jaw hit the floor.

"I...that...but...how?" she stuttered out, her mind failing to process the sight before her. The sight being Vaccine Girl's stomach having bloated over thrice it's previous size. When she did finally realize it wasn't her mind playing tricks...
