It was a quiet, sunny afternoon in the forest. Leena, the ever-hungry and slightly mischievous hyena girl, wandered through the woods, her stomach growling like a distant thunderstorm. She sniffed the air, ears twitching for the sound of rustling leaves or scurrying paws—anything she could snack on.

Then, jackpot! Sitting peacefully on a lying log was Marley, a crafty little meerkat with an unmatched talent for slipping out of Leena’s jaws just in time. Leena smirked.
"Not this time", she thought, crouching low in the underbrush, tail flicking with anticipation.

With a swift leap, she pounced and swallowed the unsuspecting "Marley"

But something was... wrong!

A hose?!
The “meerkat” had been a decoy—a balloon dressed up in Marley’s likeness, complete with a hose attached to the bottom of the balloon.

Behind the tree, Marley snickered, paw resting on a helium tank, the hose once clamped under his foot now free.
And a massive air bubble passing through the hose instantly inflates the balloon inside her, blowing Leena up like a cartoon balloon.

Leena’s body creaked as she swelled round and taut, her legs flailing uselessly in the air, the branch she was clinging to creaked, barely holding her in the air.
Her face flushed with embarrassment and frustration.

Her grip wouldn’t last.

And moments later, the inevitable happened. The branch snapped, the hose popped out, and Leena rocketed skyward like a shrieking, deflating balloon, twisting and spiraling through the trees, leaving behind only a trail of helium and a very satisfied meerkat chuckling beneath the leaves.
