A Day at Morello's
By misterebony
 
 
In Fairton, there is a district on the west side where the stores and locals are dedicated to a unique type of individual, known as foodies. They are not expert tasters, but rather food beings, like gingerbread people or jello slimes and such. And the best part? They are some of the most adorable people you could meet.
 
One of these is Morello, a cherry slimegirl with cheesecake hair and graham cookie clothes that allowed her to keep her shape. She was an expert baker and a certified pred, and in both cases she was well loved. Most days were dedicated to her bakery, focused on fine sweet treats you could get from the oven, and she was a true master of the craft.
 
As she was setting up for the day, she heard the bell of her front door ring, announcing her little assistant had arrived. The little boy was as cute as a button with dark hair and a cute smile, and wore the most adorable outfits ever. Best of all he had a cute little tummy these days. His name was Willy, and he was a worker at the bakery both to make some extra money and because he straight up loved Morello. In fact, he loved many of the foodies in Fairton.
 
And they loved him too. So much they would eat him up! Morello herself had happily served the boy to many customers, getting a pretty penny for a sweet Willy dessert. But more often the customers just loved him, be they human, fur, scaled or slimy, angel or even demon, they all came and they all loved the boy.
 
"You're right on time Willy!" Morello said, beaming her usual smile at the cutie. He chuckled and gave her a big hug, cracking her cookie clothing briefly, before going to change. "Don't be too long though, the early rush is about to begin, and we need to be ready for all those sweet toothed customers!"
 
"I will be right out!" Willy called. And when he was, his outfit was adorable. It was similar to what he wore the first day, an apron and chefs hat, but now it more was his size, fitting him perfectly and having the name of the bakery, Mi Amore Flan, on it in cute red and gold. it was a wonderful name for a bakery as it roughly translated to My Love Dessert, and for Willy that was very true. But he still wore the oversized chefs hat, which made him look even cuter, much to the delight of customers. As he came out, Morello just was delighted with how cute he looked!
 
"So adorable! I could just eat you all up!" She teased, licking her lips, making Willy laugh. "But, buisness before pleasure, except when work is pleasure, right!"
 
"Right!" Willy agreed, and they flipped the sign at the door to open. And right away customers came in. There were two reasons for this. Morello's was a well known establishment for sweet baked treats, and was perfect for satisfying them on all manner of goodies, especially the famous cherry cheesecake that Morello literally puts her all into.
 
But it was more than that. Fairton was at the crossroads of dozens of dimensions, all interconnected, so there were people and creatures from so many places that came to the store. (Except Android 21. After the last incident, she was banned for life!) Morello catered to all manner of cuties young and old, male female and in between and both, who praised her delicious goodies.
 
This even included others who had met Willy, either as a customer or who ate him up or both, as in the first group of customers came a rather busty pizza girl, her skin and her hair actually melted cheese, kept in a very shapely form with clothing made of delcious pizza dough and toppings. She gave a sexy pose to the kid as she entered.
 
"Margaret!" Willy said happily. She gave her little snack a hug, admittedly smushing him into her soft, squishy breasts. one of the benefits of being made of a softer cheese: you were so huggable!
 
"Hey there my little garlic knot. I see you're still as cute and tasty as ever. Shame I'm not in the mood for a boy treat or I'd have ya kidnapped and in my calzone in seconds."
 
"Better not, he's working today!" Morello said, giving a smile to her friend. "Besides, I know you prefer other things for breakfast."
 
Margaret nodded. "Too true, like those bran muffins you make. Healthy breakfasts so I can really spoil myself for dinner."
 
Willy blushed at that, remembering being baked into pizza for the shapely pizza girl, having a hunch it would probably happen again, and likely very soon. A cute wink from her confirmed it, combined with an almost motherly cheek pinch.
 
"See you soon kiddo. Work hard today, and I might even try to make you into a dessert pizza for your boss."
 
Morello crossed her arms and shook her head, but never lost her smile as her friend kissed his cheek before heading off with fresh bought bran muffins. Morello smiled.
 
"Sometimes that lady has too much cheese on her brain..."
 
**********
 
As the breakfast rush continued, the customers ranged from all kinds. There were humans of course, but also furries of every sort, several dragon people, monsters who said they were saving up for a Willyberry muffin with sugar, and even a certain witch and her daughter.
 
"Hey mom, it's him! That cutie who was our cherry creamhorn!"
 
Willy looked and saw a cute little girl and her mom, of course a pair of witches, and of course the very ones he became a meal for on a dare. He got a nice big hug from the girl.
 
"Flora! I didn't think you would remember me."
 
The mother beamed. "Of course little cupcake! My daughter was delighted with you! Not only were you cute, but so delicious we couldn't stop eating. I swear she looked like a piggy afterward!"
 
"MOOOOMMMMM!" The little girl whined, but Willy just snickered. Morello came over to take the mother's order as the daughter hmmed.
 
"But you know.... when I save up.... I'd love to have another cream horn. Think maybe next time you could be flavored with raspberry? I love raspberries."
 
Willy nodded. "I bet Morello could. She may be made of cherry but she is the best baker around."
 
Flora licked her chops. "Thank you thank you thank you! I'll save up! And when I have enough, I'll order you and eat you all up myself so i can be a nice big round piggy girl ball for mom!"
 
Willy blushed and nodded, but gave an oof when she gave a big hug. Afterward her mother walked off, carrying a box of micro muffins with her. Flora waved goodbye and Willy blushed.
 
"Well now, a possible second helping. So many love you little Willy!" Morello teased, the boy blushing and hiding his face in a cute way.
 
The baker could only laugh.
 
**************
 
As lunch time came around Willy took a break, heading out to buy a sandwich from a shop owned by a pig girl. Unlike a good number of shop owners, Miss Piggs was pure prey, perfectly pleasant and proud be a portly pot bellied piggy, preparing sandwiches with perfect pizzazz.
 
"Here you go kiddo, oink oink!" She said, handing the boy a ham and cheddar. Willy knew where she got the ham from, but paid for it happily anyway, delighted with how it tasted. As he walked away, he saw a rather famous individual walk into the bakery, a big owl with a flowing cape. Even Morello was star struck as she received an order from...
 
"The... Duke of Owls!" Morello said, blushing. The aviary pred was one of several famous dimension hoppers, and he bowed low.
 
"Morello my dear, have you got my kitten crossaints? Kittens are more digestible than some things."
 
Morello nodded, handing him a big box, six kittens wrapped up and willing. As the Duke turned, he saw Willy and smiled.
 
"Ah, the famous tasty treat of Food Alley. William I presume?"
 
Willy nodded, mouth agape.
 
"Grand Duke of Owls. I am glad to meet you. I have heard much about you from Ebony, a regular. I had to see for myself... and sample the wares." He popped a crossiant into his beaky maw, chewed and swallowed. "And I must say, worth every penny. Simply decadent."
 
Willy still stared. The Duke lowered a wing and lifted his chin up, closing his mouth.
 
"If you ever desire to be food for a Duke, I love Pie. And you might make a charming skunk. But until then, cheerio and all that."
 
Both chef and helper watched as the owl walked away a few steps and took flight before vanishing into a portal. Willy blinked.
 
"He's bigger in person."
 
Morello nodded. "And hungrier." she held her hand to her cherry cheek, which was redder than usual.
 
************
 
A couple hours later, Morello pulled another tray of cookies out to sell as she walked out with them. To her suprise, she saw another witch girl, but this one was with a werewolf teen, and both were playing cards just outside the shop.
 
Willy just watched, intrigued.
 
"And with my Relinquished, I'll use the power of your own Amazoness Queen to finish you!"
 
The werewolf girl in coveralls eeped as the mighty monster blasted her off of her feet. She pouted some.
 
"Awww, no fair!"
 
"Mom said if you want to eat me again you got to beat me first. But since I won.... you got to buy me a snack from here!"
 
Both turned and saw they were being watched. The werewolf chuckled.
 
"Oh! Saw the whole thing huh? Names Pippa, professional child eater and tomboy werewolf girl! And this cute morsel over here is Tasha, apprentice witch."
 
The winning duelist smiled, using her magic to put her cards away and shake Willys hand. She sniffed the air around him and licked her lips. "Wow.... you smell yummy."
 
Willy blushed. "Thank you. I'm Willy. I'm an assistant here at Morello's bakery, Mi Amore Flan. Come on in!"
 
The two follow him in, and are delighted to see the cherry baker. Tasha was about to speak when Pippa spoke up.
 
"Neat! How much are you?"
 
Morello blinked. "Excuse me?"
 
Pippa laughed. "Just kidding, but wow, no wonder your place smells so yummy, who better to bake baked goods than a baked good!"
 
Everyone looked at her.
 
"Whaaaaat?! I'm just saying!"
 
Morello giggled. "Quite the show you must have put on."
 
Tasha nodded. "Yup. And to think I got here using my first dimension hop spell. Though I may need help getting back."
 
"No worries, we have a lot of dimension hoppers. I'm sure any of them would help you. In the meantime, what can I get you?"
 
Tasha smiled. "Some whoopee pies for me, and a boy pie for my mom, all on the werewolves tab."
 
Pippa groaned but nodded. The two would talk with Willy while Morello made the delicious goodies, the boy told all about the realm they were from. After a bit, Morello emerged with a box of big whoopee pies and a HUGE pie, with a boy baked into it, the very one that dared Willy in the first place.
 
"Thank you! Come again!"
 
Tasha smiled. "I hope we do, these look delicious!"
 
Morello smiled as they left, and couldn't resist saying it.
 
"So does she, if I'm honest..."
 
*************
 
As the afternoon wore on, Willy took orders from many types of patrons. Humans, yoshis, xenomorphs, sexy zombie ladies, and so on. All complemented Willy on how cute and helpful he was.
 
And then, in walked two ponies. One was black with a red vest and green bracers, and one was orange with a cowboy hat. Despite their appearence, Morello knew them easily.
 
"Ebony, Applejack, welcome! Your usual I trust?"
 
Applejack nodded. "Sure thing sugarcube, and of course a few bushels of the finest apples for ya ta use in yer baking."
 
Morello nodded and looked to Willy. He followed Ebony out, helping to bring the apples in. As he did, he noticed something about Ebonys eyes. They were almost.... feline like...
 
"Something wrong Willy?" Ebony asked. Willy shook his head, deciding not to probe. But Ebony smiled as he saw where Willy was looking... his cutie mark.
 
"Ah, you like it? It's my cutie mark, shows my talent. Got it when I first turned into this form."
 
Willy nodded. "What does it mean?"
 
"Well, it's a alchemy beaker with a smiley face on it licking it's lips, showing I am a vorish alchemist. Potion maker."
 
Willy smiled and pet it, giggling at how soft the fur was.
 
"Hey now, focus on the apples kiddo."
 
The boy laughed and helped bring the apples in, before the pony duo got their order, paying in gold coins. Morello smiled as she watched them go.
 
"Interesting story those two have."
 
The boy blinked. "What is it?"
 
Morello smiled and winked through the forth wall, indicating it was not her story to tell.
 
*************
 
As sunset got closer, another fun trio of customers walked in, as the breads and desserts that go with fancier dinners came out. Willy was setting a table for some fancy guests, but was suprised when the three who entered sat at the table.
 
"Reaervation for Zoey, Tommy, and Hazel." The eldest said, very much dressed as a witch in crimson, with feline paws and a tail and definitive feline teeth. Beside her sat a girl with more squirrel like features and a slightly chubby form, looking like a gamer nerd squirrel with her glasses and cute as a button. Only the third seemed to be a full human, a boy with brown hair and a big smile. All were dressed nice for the occasion.
 
"What would you like?" The little helper asked the trio. The squirrel girl spoke up first.
 
"Nutty sweet doughy yummy banana nut bread yum yum Hazel filler!"
 
Willy just laughed at the speech, but took the order. The boy ordered a trio of glazed croissants, and as for the witch....
 
"And I'd like a little girl pie, with extra strawberries and cream."
 
Willy nodded and went to give Morello the orders. She giggled some as she watched the trio. As she and Willy went to make the pie, the baker could only giggle.
 
"Haven't seen her for a long time. That's Zoey, the gingerbread witch. Real sweetheart she is."
 
Willy was confused. "Isn't the gingerbread witch named Erika?"
 
"Depends which one you mean." Morello said, getting a cute sleeping girl from the pantry, Willy dicing strawberries for the pie like a pro. "Like there are many versions of a story, so to are there many versions of its characters in real life. Take the big had wolf."
 
Willy nodded. "Yeah?"
 
"Well.... he isn't always male, and red riding hood isn't always a little girl."
 
Willy giggled. "And do they all ever meet?"
 
Morello shook her head as she and Willy rolled out the dough. "Not really. Fate always seems to prevent the versions from meeting. But I have seen it happen before."
 
Willy put the berries around the little girl in the pie pan once Morello placed her sleeping form in it. "The two kids she was with seem nice."
 
Morello nodded. "Indeed. I have a huge feeling in my jelly that those two will wind up together."
 
Willy smiled at the thought of the two as a couple. Then he asked. "Morello..... do you have a boyfriend?"
 
Morello giggled. "Only my sweets dear."
 
Willy watched Morello put the pie in, and then....
 
"Can I be your boyfriend?"
 
Morello froze. But Willy wasn't done.
 
"Not just yours.... I mean, all of you I see... the food cooks. They are all so nice to me.... can I .... be boyfriends with them all?"
 
Morello loved the innocence behind the question. Anyone else it might seem... off. But....
 
"Absolutely dear. Absolutely."
 
She pat the boy on the shoulder, leaving a tiny bit of jam residue.
 
*************
 
After the trio had their treats and several other customers, it was late at night. Willy knew it was closing time, and went to undress. But Morello followed, smiling.
 
"Kiddo...." She finally said. "Did you mean what you said before? Being a boyfriend to all the foodies you have fed?"
 
Willy nodded. "I mean, I'm a boy and you're my friends, right?"
 
Morello couldn't help but smile at the innocence. She hugged the boy into her squishy jelly body, but this time she hugged a little too hard.
 
CCCCRRRRRAAACCCCKKK!
 
Morello eeped as she spilled out all over Willy. Or rather, Willy suddenly was inside her! She was about to get him out.... but she hesitated. He was really tasty. As she collapsed to a sort of jello mold shape, she wiggled and jiggled to better taste the boy. After a bit.... she let him pop his head out.
 
"Sorry about that.... when my crust clothes break..."
 
"It's okay.... this feels nice."
 
Morello smiled. She kisses the boy on the head.
 
"You.... mind if I just digest you and let you reform at home? I'll deliver your pay tomorrow."
 
Willy nodded and smiled. "Go ahead. And Morello?"
 
"Yes?"
 
"..... I'm glad I'm your boyfriend."
 
Morello slurped Willy back in and jiggled about, tasting the boy all over. She felt the boy go to sleep inside her, and began to slowly and painlessly digest him into cherry jam over the next couple hours. She was glad she locked up already, as it would have been so awkward for anyone to walk in on this.
 
But now she knew what the other foodies knew, he was pretty scrummy, and quite nutritious. No wonder everyone loved him. And for him to offer to be a boyfriend to them all.... oh the miracle of innocence.
 
"He's gonna be a handful when he is old enough..." She whispered, letting Willy add to her form, likely becoming part of the resulting curves. She might need a bigger crust for coverings tomorrow.
 
Well. Worth. It.
 
She fell asleep as the moon shown into the little bakery in the foodie district of Fairton, shining a soft light like a blessing from heaven. The baker dreamed sweet dreams, and her meal as well as he digested to reform at home.
 
Boyfriend.
 
She liked the idea a lot.
 
She wondered what's the youngest a person could be for a harem, if love is involved....
 
 
THE BEGINNING.
