Here is the story for the raffle winner  KilijShark with his characters RJ the Rhino and Draco the Dragon

Draco needs RJ's help testing his gum, blueberry gum.
___________________________________________________________________

Sometimes, helping out for a friend is worth it, even if it either includes trust or money. Meet RJ, an athletic musclegut rhino wearing a blue jacket with iron decals and purple shorts. He has grey skin, about 6’8 feet tall, has a nice round belly with pecs, blue eyes, huge muscles, and a sharp horn on his snout. RJ was at his friend’s house who was an autistic blue dragon by the name of Draco. RJ had gotten a call from him and said that he needed help testing a new flavor of gum he would love to sell after being tested. RJ did owe him one after Draco helped him with his car trouble and helped pay some of the damage after it’s battery died out. As the rhino got there, he could see his friend sitting on the couch playing video games. “Hey Draco, I’m here.” He said, announcing his arrival.

Draco pauses his game and turns his head towards his giant rhino friend. “Hey, RJ! I’m so happy that you are able to help me out!” The dragon says back, sounding excited as ever. He grabbed the gum from the coffee table that was still in its wrapper with a blueberry logo on the front, which hints to what he might be tasting. Draco walks up to the rhino and holds out the gum in his hands. “Here’s the gum I told you about.”

RJ softly grabs the gum and examines it on his own. He doesn’t understand why his friend would need him to test it out if he couldn’t do it himself. “Thanks…..so I just chew the gum?” It was pretty obvious what he needed to do but for some reason he’s got this sinking feeling in his belly to not chew the gum.

“Yep, chewing and chewing as you taste the flavor. The idea is to make sure that it’s a long lasting flavor that’ll take hours to wear off.” That did sound like a great idea, even for someone who was inspired to create this sort of thing. A gum that takes forever to get rid of the flavor is something that the world could use. In fact, it gives RJ even more courage to chew the gum. He unwraps the wrapper and stuffs it into his pocket since dropping it on the floor would be both rude and uncivilized of him. With those thoughts of something bad happening like a different flavor, he pops the gum in his mouth and starts to chew it. In just a second, RJ can taste the sweet flavor of blueberry gushing and splashing onto his taste buds and even swallowing the juice down his throat. “So…..how does it taste?” Draco asks as he can tell that the rhino was enjoying it.

The sounds of him chewing and groaning with desire really brings a smile on his face. “It’s amazing! I can already taste the blueberries!” And the best part is that he couldn’t remember why he was so worried about it in the first place. “This should really be on the market!” RJ suggests as it was Draco’s plan all along.

For a while, it seemed like everything was fine. RJ was chewing some gum willingly and Draco finally can get that chance to make some money from his homemade gum. But something was very off with RJ’s nose. Draco thought he was tired or seeing things, but he can see a splotch of blue on it, like paint. If he were a bit taller, he could try to reach it and wipe it off. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the case as that blue decided to spread RJ’s nose some more. “Ummmm, RJ?” Draco asks, concerned with the blue spreading across his face.

“Are you okay, Draco? You look a bit worried.” RJ didn’t know what to think of it but knowing how fearful the dragon looked, he was beginning to think if something was wrong.

“Are you feeling funny, sick, or a bit itchy?” Draco asks as he lists down some side effects that could happen during allergic reactions. The blue covers half of RJ’s face, including his horn which the rhino takes note of shockingly.

“No!? W-what is happening with my horn!?” RJ says as he was feeling more scared and panicky. There was a mirror hanging up on the wall right next to the two and RJ was terrified to watch his entire face and neckline turn blue in just a matter of seconds. His hands were on the list as his fingers and palm changed from light grey to blue before he could even think about what was going on. “Why am I turning blue!?”

“I...don’t know! I think I messed up with the ingredients of my gum!” Even Draco felt like he was blamed for it. All the two could see and watch was RJ’s arms and legs being covered with this strange blue color. Even if he was wearing clothes, they could also bet that his belly, pecs, back, and sides were colored with blue too. To make things worse, RJ chews the gum nervously which could probably cause more problems if he doesn’t spit it out. Then again, they were too focused on how it was possible for a gum to even do that to a person that they didn’t think about having him spit it out.

Seconds after RJ’s color transformation, he was feeling a bit bloated and full like he had eaten at a buffet an hour ago. “Ooohhhhhh…..why do I feel…..so full?” The sounds of sloshing and groaning coming from his belly gave out more worriedness and concern. He couldn’t tell, but he felt as if he was growing bigger than usual.

It was Draco who first noticed RJ’s belly swelling up underneath his shirt. “Dude, you’re bloating up!” RJ’s eyes widened as he looked at his own gut with realization and shock.

“Gah! What’s happening to me!?” He places his hands on his belly, trying to push it back down as if there was air inside that he can free out. But once he could feel something liquidy inside, he knew that he was in huge trouble. “Why am I getting fat and bloated!?” His sides quickly pours out from his jacket, exposing it’s soft water balloon-like hips. His legs went from a muscular size to where it thickens and closes his thigh gap with them touching each other. His butt swells up into two basketball sizes, making the poor rhino blush with embarrassment. “I don’t want to grow big! Help!” He pleads and begs as Draco just stands there and stares.

“Whoa….are you turning into a blueberry?” The dragon says as he was slowly figuring out what was going on with him. It made sense with what the flavor of the gum was and the fact that he was still chewing it. Something in him says that he was lucky that he wasn’t the one testing it out. He stretches his hand out and places it on his friend’s belly, rubbing it.

“Hey, stop that! I’m gonna break your things if I get too big!” RJ hated what was happening to him. As someone who’s athletic, being bigger than his size is one of the worst things he doesn’t want to happen to himself. It’s why he would exercise and drink protein shakes. His torso rounds outwards and his legs become impossibly unmovable. His arms lay on his sides before they swell up with his fingers into little sausages. His neck bloats up until it’s invisible and connects to his inflating shoulders. Even his cheeks swell up to baseball sizes. “So….huge! Help….!” His swelling body was close to taking up some of the living room and accidentally knocked over some things just like he said before. It wasn’t long until his feet and hands sink into his body before it's swelling stops. And he still chews the gum like that wasn’t the problem. “Mmff…..”

Once his swelling finally stops, Draco starts to climb on his belly like a giant boulder. “You do look cute as a blueberry for a rhino.” The dragon teases him as RJ growls at him as a response. “Don’t worry, I can call up a friend of mine to help. He’s known to help immobile rhinos with the biggest bellies.” For the dragon, all he can do is to text his friend to come to his house with a mobile juicer and lay on RJ’s belly like a bed until he comes. To this day, RJ will never test something out unless they know it’s one hundred percent safe. Hopefully, the blue color on his skin would come off as he’s being juiced. But it does go well with his eyes, or as Draco believes. Even if his own idea didn’t go well, the dragon can just do some experiments with some of his other friends, now wondering if they'll grow bigger than RJ.
