When Tina woke up the next morning, the first thing she did was move her paw to her stomach, checking for the lion plushie she had swallowed the night before. Sure enough, it was right where she had left it, seemingly unchanged, and unmoved. She didn't want to go to school like this, but what could she tell her mom? Without a temperature, and without an excuse she could tell her, Tina had no choice but to go.

	All day long at the middle school, Tina was worried sick. She just knew, that someone would know what she did. Even though the plush didn't make a visible bulge in her white furry belly, she was still uncontrollably paranoid that someone would see it. The final bell couldn't have come soon enough. 

	Finally home, Tina rushed strait to her room, closing the door after herself. She rubbed over the little mass in her belly, but still nothing had changed. At least she could take comfort that no one had any suspicions about her today. Now that she thought about it, it was kind of... thrilling. Voring the lion was her little secret alone. Hers, the lion's, and her other plushies, that is. 

	Speaking of her other plushies... She looked along her shelves, at all the little faces staring back at her. "I really shouldn't," she tried reasoning with herself. "I should at least wait for something to happen with the lion." Thinking about it made her giggle a little, thinking how she might end up getting him back. 

	Tina went about her day, but her mind never stayed away form the little lion inside her for long. Always when it came back to her thoughts, she'd smile, or look down at her tummy, or move her paw to him. And when she thought of him, she thought of the others like him, just sitting around waiting to be eaten.

	She couldn't stand it any longer. She needed to eat another one. Maybe two even. 

	Tina waited anxiously, and impatiently, for her mother to leave the kitchen, and go to the living room to watch some t.v. on the couch. She walked into the kitchen, trying to look as innocent as possible, should her mother turn and look her way. She had a clever idea, to help her swallow them easier, and without doing anything overly suspicious. 

	She got a big bowl, scooped some ice cream into it, and grabbed the bottle of chocolate syrup. Tina walked calmly past the living room, with her innocuous sundae. Sure enough, her mom glanced over, but went right back to the t.v., without giving it a second thought.

	She made her way up the stairs, grinning wide to herself, at how easy it all was. She dashed quickly into her room, and grabbed a pawful of her plushes from off her wall, before turning around, and taking them into the bathroom. There she set the bowl, syrup, and plushes along on the counter. Now that she had everything set, she could relax, take her time, and enjoy it. 

	For the first time, Tina took a look at which plushies it was that she grabbed. A skunk, a red panda, and a leopard. "Oops, hehe. Well, looks like I'm doing three then." 

	Picking up the hairdryer, the raccoon girl switched it on, and held it to the icecream, melting it in the bowl. "This'll make things waaaay easier." She picked up the leopard, and dunked it into the melted cream. The white gooeyness coated the little cat's furry fabric, making it instantly and entirely slippery. 

	Without any further ceremony, Tina greedily shoved the cat into her maw, in to its belly. She took her time, enjoying the much more pleasent taste in her mouth, now that the fabric was saturated in liquid icecream. Closing her eyes, she tilted her head back, and slurped the leopard's legs and tail down like spaghetti. Its face and arms sank easily into her throat before she even took her first swallow. Now with its whole body wrapped completely in her mouth, she gulped hard. Her first swallow was all it took. Now that she had the plushie lubed up, there was nothing left to stick in her throat. The cat slid back, and down, down her throat, into her waiting stomach. 

	Lubricated or not, the plushies where still a large thing to be swallowing, so it hurt as it stretched out her esophagus, all the way down. It hurt, but it was worth it. Her paw went to her belly, feeling for her new prey. "Hehe, now you've got a friend to play with in there, Mr. lion."

	The red panda was next. She dipped it in the cream like before, but added a swirl of the chocolate syrup to its head and body for good measure. She stuffed this one too, into her mouth, facefirst. Tina suckled on him, taking off some of the cream and syrup coating him. She took her first swallow, but made it a small one, only taking the panda halfway down into her throat. She played with its back half on her tongue, licking it all over. Its big fluffly raccoonlike tail tickled at her lips and mouth. Tilting her head back, she took another little gulp. The plush slid down into her neck, just his backpaws and big tail left in her maw. Tina loved feeling the lump in her neck with her paw, she wished she could hold it there longer, so she could just rub at it and stroke it, and to feel it so close to being fully swallowed. But her tight esophagus had a hold of the plushie, and tugged in strongly, and she needed to take a breath. One last gulp and the panda was gone. 

	She followed his path down with her paw, feeling him as he sank into her chest, then reappearing lower in her belly. "Ohhh, that felt so good."

	Last on the counter, sat her little skunk. Looking at it, she decided this one was a female plushie, just because in her head, the other ones had all been males. "Hehe, you're gonna have some fun, wrapped tight in my stomach with a bunch of guys." she joked to the skunk. 

	Tina dumped her little skunk in the bowl, but this time she left it in. She squirted a couple rings of the syrup into the bowl, over the gooey mass of plush. "I'm going to try swallowing you a little different, hehe."

	The raccoon girl picked up the bowl, and held it to her open mouth. Tilting her head back, she drained its contents all into her mouth at once. Her cheeks bulged wide, but she managed to close her lips around it all. She closed her eyes and smiled, lapping her tongue around, stirring the skunk and cream and syrup in her pink maw. She clenched her eyes tight, and swallowed hard. In an instant, the gooey mass was forced down her throat, leaving her mouth completely empty.

	Tina sat on the floor, leaned back against the tub, her tail swishing sofly across the cool tile. Content with her unusual meal, she leaned back and relaxed, holding her paw to her belly. She could feel them inside her, as one huge lump in her stomach. It hit her then. Quickly looking down, sure enough, she could see the bulge in her tummy now. A distinct, little, bulge. She swallowed hard, this time taking down only saliva, and dread. "Ohh man, I hope I don't get caught.
