Birthday Surprise
By Mister Ebony

It was a rather quiet day in the forests of Knothole Village. Everyone was up and about, working on different chores for the day. For the most part, it was peaceful.

Except in the kitchen.

"NOT AGAIN!!!!" Sally screamed, opening the pantry and, once again, finding a fat feline inside. Candi might be as cute as a button, but where Sally was concerned she was also a lot of trouble.

Especially when she ate everything... and everyone!

"Come on Sally!" Candi said with a BURP. The black and white feline purred and moved her massive tummy around to grab at another apple. "You know I can always make more. Besides, I was hungry!"

"You are ALWAYS hungry!" Sally replied, a little upset. "Eat eat eat! That is all you do!"

"Look at it this way princess, you stay nice and trim for Sonic!" Candi giggled and stood up, patting her belly. "By the way, have you seen Tails? I'm hungry for a little fox for dessert."

Sally sighed and pointed toward his cabin. With a giggle, Candi padded off, leaving Sally to clean the mess Candi left. "That cat will be the death of us all yet I think..."

*********************

The feline smiled as she quickly began to digest her meal. But she was still hungry, and she KNEW where to get a good snack. Her and Tails had been friends for some time now, and she constantly was eating him up.

Time to do so again.

She licked her lips as she opened the door to his cabin, to be met with a rather humorous scene. Tails was here all right, but around him were various containers of frosting, some fruit candies, even some chocolate syrup. He was covered in some of it, making quite the mess.

"Tails, what ARE you doing? Trying to get yummy?"

Tails looked at Candi and blushed. "It's Sally's birthday and... well... I think we ate the cake."

Candi giggled. "Tails cutie, if you want to be a cake, why not make it easy on yourself and ask me. You know my power. Why can't you just let me turn you into cake?" She giggled and removed her gloves, the key to keeping her power in check.

"I know Candi I know..." Tails said, "But I kind of try to reserve that for you and me. I mean..."

"Ahh, I don't mind. I owe her one for eating most of the pantry again." She said, patting her belly. "Now you just come here, and bring the rest of that frosting. I think I know a good way to make up to Sally, and to give her a birthday she is likely NEVER to forget!"

Tails giggled some. "Well, ok..." He smiled and grabbed a few of the pastry bags and some candy fruit. Then he went over to Candi, setting them by her. "Ok, I'm ready."

"Then it's cake time!" She smiled, hugging Tails happily, kissing his cheek too. The whole transformation took less than 30 seconds, and Candi appraised the results.

"Hmmm.... not bad.... but let's get you decorated now." She smiled, picking up a couple pastry bags and setting to work.

*****************

Sally sighed as she returned to her cabin. Save for a box of candy from Sonic, most everyone forgot about her birthday it seemed. There wasn't even a cake.

"Can't say I mind too much..." Sally said with a depressed sigh. "Still... they could have all gotten me SOMETHI... huh?" 

As she entered her little cabin, a glorious sight befell her. All over were little gifts from everybody, including a dozen roses from Sonic. But in the middle, on her dining table, was a cake. It looked so much like Tails too. His eyes were candied fruit, his belly and shoes colorful icing, even with white icing tips on the tail. It was standing there amidst the presents, with a cute smile on it.

“Oh… my…” Sally choked out, about ready to cry. They DID remember! Just then, a familiar voice was heard.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALLY!” The voice said. It was Candi, who came out, hugging Sally, the others with her. They were smiling at Sally’s reaction, tears of joy. Sonic handed her the flowers, then stepped back.

“You… you all…” She broke down, too happy for words. Then she noticed that Tails was nowhere in sight. “But… where is Tails?”

“Right here!” The cake said. It was Tails, transformed by Candi’s powers. Sally laughed as she realized this. Of course! No wonder he looked so much like the little fox… and yet so yummy…

Sally’s belly growled some, everyone chuckling. “Well, you want some cake your highness?” Antoine said, looking to Tails. He waved at Sally, eager to get in her belly. She smiled and nodded.

“Yes, bring him over Antoine.” Sonic chuckled, helping the captain carry the cake over. A table was set, and a fork and knife were given to the birthday princess, as well as a napkin. Tails smiled at her and watched as she licked her lips. “You look so yummy Tails. I don’t know where to start!”

Tails offered up his feet. “Start from the bottom and work your way up!” He suggested. “And happy birthday!” Sally smiled and took his advice, digging in, chewing on the foot. 

“OOOO! Chocolate! My favorite!” Sally said, everyone laughing. Tails smiled, but he went wide eyed at what Sally said next. “Dig in everyone!”

Everyone smiled and was happy to oblige, Cream taking one of the tails, Sonic sharing the legs with Sally, Rouge having a hand, Knuckles and Rouge dining on the tummy, and so on. Tails was chewed on, munched, swallowed, and in all ways enjoyed for the birthday bash.

And the best part was he could reform if everyone wanted seconds! Which, when the first cake was gone… they did.

*******************

About an hour or so passed of the mass feeding, and when it was over, there was not a tummy in Mobius that wasn’t bulging and happy with cake and goodies. Candi was worn out, as was Tails, in providing this massive feast.

“Ohhhhh… BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP!...” Sally belched. “Excuse me. But… oh that was so good!”
Tails, worn out, lay down on Candi’s plump belly. “Yeah... I think I’m the only one who isn’t full.” Candi looked up, giggling.

“That’s because you are so selfless, cutie pie!”

Sally perked up. “That was what we need next year! Some pie!”

Everyone looked to Tails, and he blushed redder than a beet.

“Oh… alright, but next time I better get some too!” He said, and everyone laughed. It was indeed a happy birthday and another wonderful day in Knothole Village.

Tails, sighing, wondered what tomorrow would bring.
