Berry Gum Testing Day

Berry Gum Testing Day.

Marry scratched at the back of her head as the strange bus rolled forward. “What in the world is that thing?”

Jen shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know, but it is sure loud and colorful.” She crossed her arms. “I wonder what these people want.”

The strange purple vehicle came to a screeching halt as the two young ladies examined the flags, flapping away in the wind with their strange multi-colored coin symbols. Suddenly the sliding door opened, and a young man with short red hair stepped out. “Hello.” He walked forward and took Marry’s hand into his. “May I ask what town I am currently in?” He kissed the back of her hand.

She giggled and pulled her hand away. “You are in Pettersvile.”

Jen tapped her sneaker on the pavement as she narrowed her blue eyes. “What are you doing driving such an eyesore, mister? And why are you the only one on that thing? Is it so hard for you to well use a bus as a bus?”

Marry turned her head.  “Jen!” She shook her head. “I am sorry. My friend can be a bit. . . well judging.”

“I am not judging. I am realistic. No one but no one drives such a ridiculous piece of crap.”

The strange man walked over to Jen. “Well, I take that as a compliment, miss.” He bowed in front of her. “The name is Red, and I am happy to meet both of you.”

Jen laughed. “Red? What kind of stupid name is that?”

Marry elbowed her friend in the side. “Ok, I think that is enough.” She smiled. “What brings you all the way out here, Red?”

“Why I am glad you asked. I am looking to promote my new product.” He twirled around. “You see, I am a businessman a heart, and I work tirelessly with blueberries.” He rubbed his forehead. “But it is unfortunate that, well, I don’t get to do anything creative with my work. Oh, the shame. The shame.”

“Oh, how dreadful.” Marry gently rubbed his arm. “I am so sorry.”

“Pfft.” Jen crossed her arms and turned around. “Just get to the point already.” She winced as her long blonde hair covered her face. “Ugh, this damn wind!”

Red laughed. “Well, the point is coming soon, my intuitive friend.” He patted Jen on the shoulder. “I was tired of just working with these blueberries that would boggle your mind, so I thought to myself, how can I make my business pop? What can I sell that isn’t just pure berries? Then it hit me. The taffy business. Everybody loves taffy, right?”

Marry forced a smile. “Yes. I umm really do.”

Jen swirled around. “Wait, so you are saying?”

“I am going to be the world’s best-selling blueberry gum vendor on the planet.” Red held his hand into the air, and the horn on his truck went off. “That is right Red is expanding into the world of taffy and gum.”

Jen snorted. “I would be more impressed if I had heard of you before.”

Red sighed. “Well, I am somewhat of a big name. Maybe not globally, but I have a decent presence.”

Marry shrugged her shoulders. “Where, though? What do you do?”

He rubbed his fingers together. “I umm just run some blueberry shops. Look, it isn’t that important. What is important is I am expanding my business here.” He threw his arms around the two young ladies. “And I am here with a proposition.”

Jen pulled away from him. “There is always something with people like you. Ok, what is it?”

“Well, all I want is for you to ride with me for a few hours and help me promote my new brand. Eat some free gum and taffy.”

Marry smiled. “That sounds fun.”

Jen shook her head. “What is the catch? There is always a catch.”

Red laughed. “Trust me, there isn’t a catch.” He smiled at Jen. “I will even pay you two young ladies for your time. So, what do you say?”

Marry giggled. “I think it’s a great way to spend an otherwise horrible Saturday.

What about you, Jen?”

“I umm. . .”

Marry grabbed Jen’s arm and dragged her onto the bus. “She says yes.”

“Hey!” Jen clawed at Marry’s pale arm. “I was still thinking.”

They rushed onto the bus, and Marry turned back to look at Red. “Come on. Let’s get this party moving.”

Red smiled. “I’m coming.” He stepped inside the vehicle. “Now feel free to sample anything you like in here and shout it out to the world as we drive around. Remember, the more you promote, the more you earn.” He smiled. “In fact, think of it as a little contest.”

Marry rubbed her hands together. “I love that idea.”

Jen walked to the back of the bus and sat down next to the boxes of blueberry gum. “I think I will decline and let Marry win.”

Red laughed. “Come on, Jen.” He started the vehicle. “Get into the spirit. My blueberry gum won’t bite.”

She rolled her eyes and opened one of the boxes next to her. “I will try one, you hear me, one, of your stupid products. I will also give the world the harshest review you have ever, ever had to deal with.” She slammed her foot onto the rough floor of the bus. “Do you understand me?”

Red chucked. “Of course, I do, and I await your verdict, my lady.”

Jen sighed as she picked a piece of gum out of the box. “Blueberry Blast? Not a very creative name.” She unwrapped the stick of gum. “Not off to a very good start here.”

Marry smiled as she threw a piece of gum into her mouth. “Come on and give it a chance, Jen. You make like it. Besides, it isn’t going to kill you. This isn’t like when we went to that ice cream shop, and some weird kid came in and kicked you in the shin.”

Jen threw the strip of gum into her mouth. “That place should know how to control little kids.

I don’t need to feel threatened by such little punks.”

Marry rubbed her forehead. “I am sorry for my friend. She is very opinionated.”

Red smiled. “It’s alright. You need feedback from all sides; otherwise, people think you are full of hot air.”

Marry smiled. “At least you feel better about this than I do. In fact, I am worried about Jen going off the handle about you and your products in the next few minutes.”

Red smiled as he looked down the road. “Oh, trust me. I think you two will enjoy my blueberry gum so much you won’t be able to focus on anything else.” He laughed wickedly.

Marry turned around as she chewed. “I am not sure if I like that laugh. How are you doing back there, Jen?” She tugged at her long dark hair.

Jen’s eyes lit up. “I am loving it back here.” She pulled down the windows. “Hello. Hey you kid.” She pointed at a random young lady on the street. “Go buy from Red’s new blueberry gum when you get a chance. It is heavenly.”

“Jen, what has gotten. . .” Marry’s eyes widened. “Oh my!” Her body tensed up as flavor exploded inside her mouth. She sank into her seat as she rubbed the sides of her mouth. “Ohh, I never want to take this thing out of my mouth. It is soo good.”

Jen nodded her head. “I know, right?”

Marry sighed. “I can’t believe gum could taste so good. Even the steak my husband makes doesn’t taste like this. Ahhhh.”

Red turned his head. “I will take it you two like my creation?” The two ladies nodded their heads. “Well, good. Remember, you earn more money the more you promote. So, get to shouting the good word.”

As Marry reached for the window, she felt a strange sensation ripple through her body. “Ughh.” She rubbed her stomach. “What was that?” She took a deep breath. “I hope that was nothing.” She smiled and returned to enjoying her newfound love as she lowered the window. “Hello, world. I have something great to tell you.”

“No, listen to me. Jen. Your one and only Blueberry gum announcer.”

“Hey, ugh.” Marry clutched her stomach again. “Why is my body doing jumping jacks?” She shook her head. “I think it’s passed now. Ahhh!” She noticed blue spots appearing on the back of her right hand. “Hey, what is this.” She held both of her hands in front of her back. “My hands are turning blue!”

Jen laughed. “Stop trying to get attention over there.”

Marry jumped to her feet. “I am serious. Look at me.”

Jen turned her head. “Wow. Did you paint your hands and arms blue to get a one-up on me?”

Marry looked at herself. “My arms! What is happening to me.”

Jen laughed. “I think you are just cheating at this to earn more money than me.” She turned her head back to the window. “Now stop bothering me. I am trying to out-perform you here.”

“Jen, this is serious. I think there is something wrong with the gum.”

“Then spit it out like I have been doing so you can get a new one.” Marry watched as Jen spat her gum out the window.

“Why are you doing that?”

Jen turned her head. “Because while this is very, very good gum, there is no gum on earth that will lose its taste after fifteen bites. It is just not possible.”

Marry shook her head and sat back down in her seat. “These sticks of gum don’t lose their taste. But maybe I should have been a bit safe and taken the gum out early.” She looked at her arms. ‘I mean, look at me. I look bluer than the sky on a clear day. At least there is still time.” She gulped as the bus suddenly hit a bump in the road. “Oh, crap.” She felt her throat as the gum traveled downward. “That isn’t good.”

“Hey, Red, watch where you are going.” Jen stood up. “I just swallowed one of these damn things.”

He laughed. “Well, it’s better than you spitting my merchandise out the window.”

She crossed her arms and sat down. “I mean, it’s just gum. Who makes long-lasting flavor gum.”

“I do? So, stop spitting it out.”

“How can you?” Jen rubbed her stomach. “Hey, I can feel the flavor bursting out from my chest.”

Marry nodded her head. “So, can I. This is very weird.” She watched as the gap between her pant leg and shoes turned blue. “Oh, crap.” She turned her head. “Umm, Red, should we be experiencing any kind of rash?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

She held up her arm. “Look at me. I am all blue here.” She watched her face turn blue in the bus’s rearview mirror. “Seriously, how can you not see me becoming a blue-skinned woman?”

“Oh, trust me, honey. I see you.” He turned around. “I just don’t care.”

“What!”

“Hey, I needed promotion for my business somehow. Giant blueberries and such. Red sighed. “But how was I going to get my promotion working if I didn’t have my subjects.” He hit a button, and banners on the side of the bus fell into place. “Now the real promotion can begin. Oh, don’t worry” He looked back at them as Jen’s hands began to turn blue. “I will still pay you two. I am a man of my word. You promote the best you get paid the most. I just fibbed a bit on the details.”

“You jerk.” Marry took a few steps forward as her stomach growled. “Ugh, what is that?” She rubbed her belly.

“Oh, I think you will enjoy what happens next, my dear.”

Marry shook her head. “I need you to. . .” She winced as she felt a filling sensation in her chest. “Ugh.” She sat down. “I feel very weird.” She rubbed her stomach. “What did you put in that gum?” She raised an eyebrow as Red hummed away. Marry threw her hands into the air and looked out the window. “He is useless.”

“Umm, Marry.” Jen rubbed her arms. “Should I be concerned that my skin is changing color?”

She rolled her eyes. “I don’t know. You said I painted myself, so how do I know you are not doing the same thing?”

Jen slammed her fist on the seat in front of her. “Hey, this is serious. When do I ever give you shit?”

“Five minutes ago.”

“Hey, I was being quite serious. I always am.” Jen narrowed her eyes. “What is wrong with your stomach?”

“Don’t change the subject. Ughhh.” Marry moaned and rubbed her belly. “This filling sensation is getting worse by the minute. Why do I feel so full.” She looked down. “Holy crap. How did my belly become so huge?” Marry stood up and ran her hands through her hair as she examined her massive waistline. “My belly looks like I have two bowling balls in there.” She turned back and forth. “This can’t be.”

Jen stood up. “Hey, stop this thing so we can get out already.” Red continued to hum from the driver’s seat. “Hey.” Jen took a few steps forward before tripping on one of the boxes that had fallen on the floor. “Ouff.” She groaned as she pushed herself off her round blue belly. “Ugh, my stomach is growing too. I take back everything good I said about your products.”

“Oh, don’t worry. I don’t mind.” Red looked back at the two expanding ladies. “I needed a way to promote my products, and this is how I am going to do it. Gum that makes giant blueberries. I am sorry. Did I not mention that?”

Marry pressed on her hips as her blue skin expanded out between her t-shirt and jeans. “You won’t get away with this.”

“Hey, I said I will pay you. Trust me, you will make thousands of dollars out of this. I am not an unkind man.”

Jen’s eyes lit up. “Thousands of dollars?”

Marry stepped towards her friend as the button on her jeans popped off. “Don’t listen to him. He tricked us remember?”

Jen smiled. “But imagine what we could do with that money.” She closed her eyes as her ass suddenly exploded with blueberry juice, causing a giant tear in her pants, and exposing her blue butt. “I could get myself a boat.”

“But Jen.” Marry looked down at her massive round frame. “I am stuck between these seats.” She winced as her belly button pushed itself out. “I need some help here.” Marry took a deep breath. “The juice just keeps coming and coming.”

Jen sat down, her enlarged blueberry butt crushing the seat. “Just let the juice flow Marry. It is free money.” She rubbed her hands along her growing chest. “Come on and swell, baby. I want a nice and big boat.”

“But. . .” Marry winced as the back of her jeans ripped to her swollen ass. “God, my butt is huge.” She took a deep breath. “Ohh my.” She felt her chest tense up as blueberry juice filled her breasts. “This is too much.” Finally, with no other alternative, Marry sank to the floor, her swollen feet slowly rising in front of her. “I can’t fight it anymore.” She moaned. “I just hope I don’t get too big.” She wiped the blue sweat from her forehead. “I am not sure how much of this I can take.”

Red laughed. “Oh, I must have forgotten to mention this as well. My product has a bit of an effect on people. It will make you feel things that you have never experienced before, and I hope you enjoy. Again, I am sorry for the subterfuge, but how else do I explain that I am testing blueberry gum that makes you experience the wonders of what it is like to be a blueberry?” He laughed. “With my business, I can’t take any chances.”

Jen smiled. “Well, despite a bit of annoyance at the start, I am loving it.” She closed her eyes and tapped away on her body. “Hey, world. Try this amazing blueberry gum and become a blueberry yourself. You will love it.” The people walking on the street looked at her and laughed. Jen turned her head and sneered out the window. “How dare you people laugh at me. This is the greatest experience in the world.” Her round belly began to tear at her shirt. “You people are jealous. Jealous, I say.”

Marry turned her head to see an apple thrown at the side of the bus. “I don’t think antagonizing people as they walk by is a good idea, Jen.” She took a deep breath as her legs sank deeper into her body. “Every moment I think I can’t fill up anymore, I am proven wrong.” Marry giggled as her shirt ripped in two and her pants snapped apart, leaving her with just a bra on. “Oh my.”

Jen laughed. “Well, someone looks like a giant blueberry now.” She winced as her own clothing burst off her body. “Umm.”

Marry laughed. “What were you laughing about?”

Jen wobbled back and forth as her tiny arms flailed about. “Hey, you want to roll over here and do something about it?”

Marry tapped the sides of her body as she continued to expand. “I am fine.” She turned her head as her cheeks inflated. “I don’t know if I can even move. As it is, my arms are sinking into my body.”

“Ya, mine too.” Jen raised her voice. “Hey, Red, how big are we going to get.”

“As big as you need to be. Don’t worry, and just be your berry self. You will just rack in that cash soon enough.”

Marry looked back and forth as her bra snapped off her body. “Umm, but what happens if we become too big for the bus?” Her body began to crush the nearby bus seats. “We have a problem here.”

Red laughed. “Don’t worry. It is all planned for.” He turned down a dirt road. “All planned for.”

“Hey, Marry.” Jen looked up at the ceiling. “We are getting pretty big here.”

Marry nodded her head. “I know.” She closed her eyes. “I feel like I have a swimming pool’s worth of juice inside of me, and I am still filling up.”

“Do you think it will ever stop?”

“I don’t know.” She took a deep breath. “But this is the blueberry experience, right?”

“I guess so. I just keep thinking about all that money we will earn.”

The bus came to a sudden halt. “Ok, ladies. We are here.”

Marry turned her head. “Where is here?”

Red stood up. “Well, the end of the line.” He walked towards the two giant blueberry ladies. “I had one other thing I forgot to share with you two.”

Marry’s face turned purple. “What!” Her body swelled even faster as blueberry juice pumped through her veins. “Explain yourself.”

He ran his hand over her body. “Fascinating. Bursts of emotion speed up the growth process.” He took a deep breath. “Ehhm. I have always run a juicing business. You see, the town that I have come from has had a bit of a blueberry problem.” He turned around. “Some people want to fix this and help our poor town.” Red sighed. “They are such naive fools.”

“What are you babbling on about?” Jen asked. “Like I said before, get to the point!”

Marry nodded her head. “I agree for once.” She winced as her body pressed against the ceiling of the bus. “I am starting to be squeezed here.”

Red walked to the front of the vehicle. “Well, my beautiful ladies, you will spend a bit of time working here at my juicing station while we figure out just how the process went.” The door to the bus slid open, and two men and two women in bright blue jumpsuits walked on board. “It won’t take long. We will even get the juice out of you.”

“And our money?”

Red clapped his hands together. “Waiting for you after the tests are done. Don’t worry; it will all be taken care of.” He smiled and looked at his assistant. “Pry the bus open if you have to. Roll them into the facility.” He lowered his voice. “I want you to figure this out at any cost. And get them as big and juicy as possible before you turn them back to normal. I want to pump every last bit of juice as I can out of them.”

The young lady nodded her head. “Of course, sir.”

Red smiled. “Ok, Marry, Jen. Enjoy the rest of your day. I have a business to attend to.”

Marry smiled as he walked away. “Thank you for all the help.” She looked down at the workers. “Ok, please make these tests quick. I want to be back to normal as soon as possible.” She winced as they rolled her to the front of the vehicle. “Hey, now, not so rough. Oww, my head.” Marry’s eyes widened. “Hey, you can’t expect to squeeze me through that tiny doorway.”

“Quiet. We are trying to help here.”

Marry winced as multiple hands pressed against her soft underside. “Then don’t be so rough. Oww!” She closed her eyes as her body pressed against the bus’s doorframe. “Stop it. You are going to cause me too burst apart.” Her body started to turn purple.

One of the young ladies spoke up. “We are trained blueberry professionals. We know what we are doing.”

Jen laughed from the back of the bus. “I am happy you are going first.”

Marry moaned as blueberry juice seeped out of her nipples. “You don’t feel like professionals. My insides are churning.”

“Just hold on a little more, miss.”

Marry shook her head. “I don’t know if I can. I feel like I am going to explode here.” Marry winced as she suddenly shot out of the bus like a rocket. “Help!” She flew across the parking lot and slammed into a giant brick building. She felt all of the juice inside of her make a wave motion as she bounced off of the side of the building, leaving a massive round imprint. “Ughh.” Marry slowly rolled to a stop as the workers ran over to her. “I don’t want to go on that ride again.”

“Ok, time to head into the facility, miss.”

“And you will get me back to normal?” She blinked as she felt the ocean of blueberry juice inside her still raging. “Ugh.”

They rolled her to the massive steel doors which led into the juicing station. “Yes, of course. We will help you in our state-of-the-art juicing station. We will take care of everything.”
