February. A mixed month for many thanks to valentines day. A time of romance for those lucky enough to be in a relationship, a time of depression for those who recently came out of one and the general apathy for most others. But for Aravis the Lapenetto , it meant only one thing. Clearance valentine’s day candy. She had ever such a strong sweet tooth and this was the perfect time to feed into it. Her Christmas confections would run out over January , so when the day after valentines came up , she was itching for some heavily discounted bonbons and the like.

Aravis paroled the length of a large mall hoping to seek out the perfect store to find her bounty at. While many places made excellent chocolate , there was a slight…tradition to her February feast that meant she needed specific qualities. Busy but not too busy. Good quality but not too classy of a store. And definitely somewhere close to the exits Encase of failure. She wore her daily attire. A cute pink sweater that complimented her dark caramel fur, a dark magenta coat which kept her nice and warm and cuffed jeans to complete her style.

Aravis liked to be fashionable to some degree as her appearance was unusual to most. For the most part she seemed like a conventional cat , if it wasn’t for the fact that her sclera are black, and her pupils and irises white. The people who knew her knew she was no different from anyone else, even if she was a devious gremlin. But…she did notice when she got an unwanted amount of attention. Wearing such a stunning get up made her feel better about it. This way , they was gawking at her style, not her.

Walking through the mall , Aravis eyed up every store. There where a few that looked good but she had hit before. She made it a rule to never do the same one twice , lest she is caught. There was also a few that her friends enjoyed going to, so she wouldn’t dare get in trouble there. This was her dirty little secret, Aravis feared having to explain it to others because…well she had no good reason to do what she did. It was just for her own amusement , excitement and pleasure. Just as she was thinking of the deviously fun feeling she got from her hijinks , Aravis spotted the perfect store ahead of her. Tall isles , just enough people to let her blend into a crowd but not too many that her actions would be watched. And a big banner in the window . “VALENTINES CANDY : NOW 75% OFF”

A perfect mark..

Avaris strolled over to it and had a little peak through the glass and she spotted a verity of confections. Caramel , fruit and nut. So many of her favorites. It distracted her from a odd looking contraption at the front gate. She immediately walked around the device and into the store where she began to look for the right isle to begin her tradition. The right one unveiled itself , only having a couple of others strolling through. Moving into it, Avaris let the fun begin.

Using her sharp claws she cut open the thin plastic used to keep the boxes closed, doing so as discreetly as she could to not be noticed. As soon as the box was open , she began to eat the candies one by one. First thing first was the solid chocolate chunk. Every box had one and she used it to gage the quality of the rest. It was fantastic! Deliciously milky and melting across her tongue. Definitely some of the best she had ever had. Next she ate up the fudge, the caramel centre and then some of the more unusual ones. A white chocolate with raspberry centre was next and it was okay. Then there was one that blew her mind. It was the same milk chocolate , but it was infused with this delicious fruity flavour. She couldn’t quite put her tongue on what it was but it was incredible.

It was so much better than every other bonbon that she knew she had her target. She set down the half eaten heart of candy and began cutting into the next one along , still cautious to not be caught. She plucked the fruity chocolate from it before closing it back up. No point wasting space on the crappy ones. Box after box , the plastic was peeled open and the favorite flavor was plucked. Each one bite clued her into the taste yet it still eluded her. Five down and it finally clicks on her. Blueberries! They where ground through the chocolate finely , and when the candy melted it was so rich and sweet it almost felt like juice. She started going a little faster and a little less carefully. Ten …fifteen….she started to loose track until her body itself realized she had too many , said with a brutal and quite sudden stomach ache.

“Ah…shit… must have gotten carried away.” She mumbled to herself. Coming back to the moment , Aravis realized she had eaten thirty eight of the candies , all rather sizable for a bonbons. Her belly rumbled in discomfort , too much candy. “I can’t believe I ate so much….I should get outta here quick.” Aravis mumbled. She grabbed an unopened box and headed to the counter. Only now after the glory did aravis realize that the candy box was completely unbranded. The whole store lacked any kind of name or logo anywhere. Thinking about it, even the front of the store lacked any marking. It wasn’t her biggest problem at this point.

Standing in the queue , her stomach was growling. Someone looked over to her in confused , however Aravis stared them down. Not in the mood to be made the centre of attention to anyone. She gently patted her belly through her jumper to try soothe it. It felt horrid. “I gotta make sure next time I stop myself sooner… I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much candy in one go.” She mumbled to herself. It was one of those extremely overbearing sweetness's that made her almost never want a candy again, let alone the box clutched within her fingers.

The Lapenetto near slammed the box down on the counter when it was her turn. Impatience having grown with her gut pains. The cashier , who lacked as much as a name tag let alone any branding stood there with a smug smile on her lips. “Oh hello there miss. A wonderful day isn’t it? What can I do for …” before she could finish, Aravis cut in with “I just want to buy these chocolates please.” She grumbled. Despite the rudeness of her interjection, the candy store host didn’t have a hint of …any kind of emotion beyond that same smugness as before. “Of course, do you have a store card?”

“No. I don’t . Can you hurry….” Aravis asked however another question from the shopkeep came quick. “would you like a store card for the next time?” She asked making the space cat even more annoyed. “No I don’t want your card , I just want this candies.”.

“All for the best, we don’t actually have a loyalty card. We are trying to gage interest. If we did offer a card would you get one in the future?” The clerk asked

“No I don’t want your fucking card and if you offer it to me again I’m going to ram the card down your…”

“Thank you for your feedback. Now would you like paper or plastic?”

“Fucking….paper I don’t care.”. Aravis grumbled. With a wide grin the attendant gave her a small origami crane which Aravis tore in frustration. “Just let me pay!” she yelled . To her surprise, the clerk replied simply. “oh you will.” Before scanning the box of candy.

Now handed her box , Aravis immediately turned to leave throwing a note of money into the counter. She shoved through the person who had been behind her. She didn’t care how suspicious she looked in that moment in time, she just wanted to get home and rest her belly. On her way out however , she was stopped in her tracks as she passed through the machine she had barely seen on the way in. Her growling gut had suddenly started to bubble quite viciously all of a sudden. She gripped her stomach and felt it rumbling in her hands. That’s when she came to a grim realization.

“Is my belly bigger than usual? No way I ate that much….” She mumbled. That was when she felt her flesh pushing into her hands. She glared downwards and saw a strip of fluffy belly poking through her top. However it wasn’t her rich brown she was used to.. instead…it was purple. Aravis was confused for a second, lifting up her sweater to look at her fur. The colour was spreading. Fast. It started Aravis so much that she screamed out loudly.

Unsure of what to do , Aravis could only watch in horror as the corruptive hue spread over more and more of her fur. Down past her jeans hem and slowly up towards her chest. The further it spread the more she could feel it’s presence. A dampness to her fur. It made her feel even more sick than before . Especially as whatever it was seeped through her clothes leaving tendrils of purple reaching up to her neck. All the while the feeling in her belly only felt worse and worse . That’s when Aravis began to feel eyes watching her from all around. She turned and saw people where glaring at the weird state she was in.

Aravis had no other choice than to try and run but with her stomach ache , every step sloshed her stomach around making her feel worse and worse. It wasn’t ten feet before she stopped. Veins of discolouration had made it up to her neck and soon even over her jaw to her face. Onlookers began to take their phones out to record Aravis in her misery. She flipped them off before an audible groan put her hands back on her belly. It was definitely bigger than it had been before making her panic even more. She screamed out “Stop recording me! Get help !” Yet no one moved closer to her. Aravis could only gaze at her own hand as the brown on it was divided by streaks of purple, until it all filled leaving not a speck of her original color.

Now she was completely purple , and her clothes had all stained becoming a very close shade. Her stomach then let out a stomach growl loud enough that the forming crowd could hear it, some even taking a step back. “what was that?” Someone asked. A all too familiar voice answered. "just a thief getting what was coming to her.” Aravis snapped her head over to see the clerk staring from the door with a few others from the store. “What are you ….talking about?”

“The security system I have ‘activated’ the candy you ate. If it had been one or two it would have been a stomach ache. But judging by the state you are in. . You ate a lot more than just that didn’t you?” She asked with a knowing smugness , as if she had watched every moment of the chocolate binge.

Aravis, having some pride , stood up for herself with…lies. “I didn’t steal your stupid candy! Your stupid machine did this to me! You better fix this right now or I swear to God I’ll …” before she could make her threat, her belly bulged out rapidly. Five inches of taught yet jiggly flab announced itself under her sweater suddenly. Aravis screamed out , her hands coming down and clutching the new mass. To her horror though it was still growing in her hands, not having stopped with that bulge. It was slower than the sudden growth but it was constant. Like a balloon on a garden hose her stomach swelled bigger with every second. “Oh no you definitely didn’t steal my candy. Guess you won’t need my help to fix you.” The clerk taunted before turning. Aravis was about to let her go but her thighs , hips and ass surged out much like her gut had , joining in on the swelling.

“Fine! I did take your candy. Just stop this! I feel so….full.” Aravis groaned out, pushing against her massive gut to try flatten it back to her old size to no effect. She whined as the feeling of pressure grew more and more unbearable. The taste too was getting to be too much. Aravis could feel melted chocolate infused with blueberries coating the inside of her mouth. Although now the fruit flavour was much stronger, and it was thicker, almost like a pulpy juice. The clerk only glared at aravis as her own body tormented her. “Oh ….well I can’t help you let. Just have to let it’s course for now. Hopefully you didn’t eat too many.”

Aravis was about to growl in anger, but the thick juice moved up , filling her chest , shoulders and her cheeks, making her look a bloated mess of her former self, with a teardrop of a lower half. “no…no help me right now!” She demanded , but given her body’s crusade to grow, making her more and more bulbous and unwieldy. She had to keep widening her stance as her thighs pushed into each other, all the while her crotch had swollen past her knees and was rapidly approaching the ground. Any attempt to even move looked like a meek waddle. The dozens of cameras recorded every second of her struggle , some laughing at the muted frustration of Aravis. She growled under her breath but as more juice and chocolate welled within her , it turned into a gurgle. Her mouth gone from slick with the stuff to leaking it though even the tightest of clenched lips.

She let out a sudden loud groan as her crotch hit the ground, pushing her up off her feet removing any chance she had of escape. Although it was already gone, the wall of onlookers felt inescapable to her. With all escape removed she began to panic more and more. “Please! I’m sorry for stealing your candy….just make this stop!” She begged, as her arms thickened up. Her clothes having held up all this time without much grief. Something about the juice that saturated them was allowing them to stretch. Although, the button of Aravis’ pants did ping off hitting a phone hard enough to knock it out of the owners hand. This small act of destruction did put a momentary smile on Aravis, that was until her neck and shoulders began to swallow up her lower jaw as the same happened to her hands and feet. All sinking into deep divots , hiding further by each second.

Her body was groaning as it got fuller and fuller, but slowly she began to stop growing. The chocolates run their course leaving the once slender if a little chubby Lapenetto was now a massive , Blueberry and chocolate filled ball that groaned as she rocked around on her spherical body. She tried to beg for more help but all that came out where pathetic little whimpers. Thankfully however , the clerk came to her side and patted the massive belly that laid before her. “Come along you, I hope your money wasn’t destroyed by your growing, you are going to have to pay for all the candy you stole, plus the juicing fee.”

She noted , much to Aravis’ upset. She moaned in annoyance.

However she found the new feeling of having two firm hands shove her rounded body forward. She rolled her around , all the while people stopped their recordings , now being sent across the web. Everyone was seeing what had happened to her, including the little bit about her stealing chocolate. Aravis scowled within her divot , knowing she wouldn’t hear the end of it from Misako’s mothering , and Kohanu who she knew would tease her relentlessly about this.

As Aravis disappeared into the store then further into its backroom, her only real worry was….could she get away with doing it all again tomorrow?
