Om Nom

“Ah? Silver? Yes? Busy, busy, so busy,” Shadowy Servant said as he glanced at his friend, Silver Lining. She cupped her hands in a ball formation before writing a question mark in the air. He frowned as he realized what she was asking. “Children? Don’t know, been so busy making sure palace is okay. Ah, no booboos or anything! But still got work work work. Hm, children…where…?” Silver frowned as she heard that, wondering where the children could have gone. Knowing her own child between her and Shadowy, Raspberry, he would be causing trouble somewhere and getting stuck in a bind. The other children…she was worried for them too, for they ended up being quite the handful. She just hoped they were okay, but she wasn’t sure. “Want to ask Nan?” he suggested, snapping her out of her thoughts. The young woman nodded before they briskly set off for the Queen’s room. It wasn’t long before they arrived, Shadowy having knocked a little before entering. “Nan!” he called, “Where children? Have seen them or not?” There was no response, but they could clearly see the Queen on the bed, her back turned away from them as her butt wiggled. They approached the bed, curious of her position. “Nan?”

“Mmph?” She turned around and Shadowy shrieked in horror. Silver would have done the same if she could speak, for in the mouth of the Queen were three white ethereal bubbles and two black ethereal bubbles, the children Dropzillas they had been searching for.

“NAN. SPIT THEM OUT RIGHT NOW!” Shadowy shrieked as he dived towards the girl. She backed up in surprise before finding her mouth pried open.

“Nya?! Geh, gah, guh?!” She whined some more as the children gradually poured out of her mouth, floating around happily and without a care in the world. They were utterly covered in jelly that dissolved onto their bubble forms, having absorbed the royal jelly happily. “Nyaaa, come on, they tasted so nice!” Silver immediately scooped the children into her arms, internally screaming as she cuddled them close to her breast.

“So?! Not for eating, no! Our children, children not to be eaten!” Shadowy wheezed as he shook from fear and anger. Nan frowned.

“Still, they were nice tasting! Mochi ice cream of different flavors, lavender, and raspberry! What’s not to like?” she asked innocently, pouting and puffing out one cheek.

“NO.” The children squirmed out of Silver’s arms and the two worried parents shrieked once more when they went back into Nan’s mouth. “NO. BAD. BAD CHILDREN. NO. OUT. NOW.” He pried open the Queen’s mouth once more, the ethereal bubbles squirming as he did so before reluctantly coming out. Nan’s jaws snapped shut once he let go.

“Eeeeh? But they like it apparently! They even went in on their own!” she said, smiling happily.

“Still! No eat! They’ll- CHILDREN NO!” Shadowy shrieked as they tried to inch their way back into Nan’s mouth. He scooped them all up into his arms, hugging them fiercely as they squirmed and peeped. “No going into Nan’s mouth! No going into anyone’s mouth! No! Bad! Very scary, will get eaten!” he scolded as Silver watched in worry and horror, tail thrashing wildly and wishing that she could talk to scold them as well. They continued to squirm angrily in his grasp before finally bursting into tears. His anger faltered as he stared.

“Oh no! My babies! It’s okay, Mommy will take care of you! Come on, in! Go in!” Nan said quickly, opening her mouth wide open again. They immediately stopped crying and squealed happily as they burst out of Shadowy’s arms, cramming themselves into Nan’s mouth. Shadowy and Silver paled as they glanced at each other in horror.

“…What do we do?” he asked weakly as Silver could only bury her face in her hands. Oh god, this was going to be a bad habit…
