(An entry for  Arrow the Esp 's Thanksgiving Collab featuring Reynard City's AK Girl)

"Alright buddy, I'm giving you one chance to come quietly or you're gonna be eating your turkey in prison!"

The day leading up to Thanksgiving was a slightly boring one to Vibes. It was the usual pre-holiday shlock; shopping for food, finding the right kind of turkey, blah blah blah. Although finally some excitement came up when she, Sally and Gulliermo learned of strange disappearances going on around the city. Not hesitating any longer, Vibes quickly charged into action and began searching. Her search eventually lead her to a warehouse near the edge of town, where she soon came across an individual calling himself "The Parade Prince". The name did make the vixen snicker a bit, but he was serious business, as she soon heard, voices coming from the hanger in the next room. Possibly the missing people? Seemingly looking unarmed, Vibes jumped into action and cornered him.

"Well this is surely an honor." The "Prince" said cockily "The great and beautiful AK Girl is here to try to ruin my plans for the festivities." Vibes smirked as she took the compliment with pride. "So you've heard of me? Then I'm pretty sure you know what I can do?"

"Oh yes I do. But trust me, I don't think you'll be doing any of that fancy "mode" stuff or whatever it is you call it. These plans are going to go through without a hitch." he said looking her over with interest. "Sorry pal, but I don't think the city wants to see your plan! Strength Mode!" Seeing this as the proper opportunity to hide, "The Prince" ran into the hanger, with the feisty fox following right behind him.

The hanger was dark, and it was hard to see. Vibes slowly and carefully walked through, only hearing the sounds of her footsteps as well as something else... a few squeaks every once and a while. "What's making that sound? Seriously what I wouldn't give for a "Night Vision Mode" at this point." Just as she was near the center of the room, she heard something run by her. "Huh? Hey! Prince, where're you hiding? I promise I'll go easy if you just turn yourself in~!" However, just as she was about to turn around, a bright ray of familiar purple light shined down on her from across the room. "Gah!" Vibes moved out of the ray's path, but something felt wrong. She felt a bit strange... lighter even.

"Well looks like this little game has come to an early end." Said The Prince from his hiding spot. "You little creep!" Shouted the vixen. "What...What did you..?" She stumbled forward a bit, keeping her balance as she rubbed her head. "You like my little toy? It's a special light fixture that harness Warp Energy. I'm sure you're familiar with it? As for what it's doing to you...well why spoil the fun?" Vibes groaned as The Prince laughed. She pointed towards him to make a witty comeback but quickly retracted when she noticed just how shinier her arm had gotten...in fact her whole body had taken on a shiny, rubbery look to it. "What the-? What the hell did this thing do to-?" What followed next was a feeling she was all too familiar with.

Vibes looked down at her waist, only to see her body swelling and pushing outward until it was a much more rounder shape. Though she experienced this several times due to her weakness, this one felt different. Her clothes, belt, and such didn't feel solid. It felt... flat. Like it was painted onto her suit. "H-Hey! What happened to my clothes?!" She exclaimed before being taken aback by her arms and legs, with puffed and bloated along with her body. Her tail also stretched and rounded out into a larger and bloated shape. "S-Sal! G! You there?!" she called out via her Psychic Mode "Guys I need you over...o-over...wha...why does my...h-head feel...?" Her mental words were soon cut off as her head grew bigger to match her new size; her face being forced into silly, happy little grin, much to her annoyance. "Can't....stop...smiling....feel so...big....need...people....to look at me?" Her thoughts were starting to scatter, as the last part of her transformation kicked in. Vibes body soon began to grow, not like how she inflated, but rather she literally began to grow bigger and bigger and size, slowly towering over The Prince, and as she grew and grew, her body began to feel stiff, and even lighter than air; eventually floating off the ground and up to the ceiling.

"Perfect. What's a parade without a balloon, depicting an iconic figure?" The Prince said jokingly. "Big...balloon..." Vibes said in her head, trying her best to form some kind of coherent thought. "Sal...G....Help big balloon...come...see...hee hee..." The Prince smirked as she watched the balloonified vixen aimlessly float around the hanger. "Congrats Ms. AK Girl. You now have the honor of being a part of the best parade in history. Courtesy of moi~" With a snap of his fingers, the lights in the hanger soon came on. While Vibes couldn't move, feel, or even think straight, she could still hear and see, and as the lights flashed on she saw rows upon rows of strange looking parade balloons that she never saw before. Maybe... Maybe what happened to her was what happened to the missing people she was searching for? Was this why they went missing?

Unfortunately, Vibes thoughts were far gone at this point. All she really thought about was if she was going to gain people's attention, if they were gonna take pictures, maybe point and laugh at how silly she looked. She was a big, dumb balloon after all. "Heh heh...parade...fun...wanna float around...hear people cheer and laugh~ heh heh..." Once she was fully tethered into her spot, "The Prince" chuckled and walked out of the hanger. "Best make preparations in case we get more "unwelcome guests"..."

Meanwhile at Vixen house, Sally held her head in bewilderment. For a second she could've sworn she heard her friend's voice in her head, shouting for help. "Vibes?... Oh what mess did you get yourself into this time?" With that, she ran off to find G, so hopefully they could find their friend. Unaware of just what danger awaited them...
