"Ulp... gulp... Ahhh!" Brody sighed as he emptied the last bit of soda in his mouth. Swallowing it down without even thinking twice. Standing up, he grabbed his plate and now empty liter of soda and walked it over to the kitchen. Quickly he rinsed off the plate and placed it neatly on the drying rack, then he proceeded to toss out the bottle in the recycling bin.
Feeling satisfied for cleaning up someone else's mess, he looked up at the clock. "Still got like 20 minutes left on my break, bro!" He said to himself excited returning to his seat in the lounge to continue watching the game. Flopping back down in his chair he felt his stomach shift slightly.
BUUUUURRRRPP!
He let out a moderately loud burp and patted his stomach proudly. "That was some good pizza!" he said smiling, refocusing his attention the the tv.

For Josh the trip was practically instantaneous. One second the sea of brown he was in was calm, the next it turned into a raging river carrying him away out of his plastic prison, deep into a much more dangerous one.
Once the rapids finally ceased, Josh rubbed his eyes, adjusting to his surroundings. He was dripping wet with soda, knelt down in some sort of... yellow-ish mush from what he could gather. The darkness was overwhelming to him but it didn't take long for Josh to realize, he was in a stomach.
Listening to the rhythmic heart beats in the distance as well as the muffled groans and moans he could hear all around him, it was evidence enough. "How could this have happened..." Josh thought to himself.
"Brody must've finished off the soda.." Josh thought. "Damn it! This is all Tyler's fault! I wouldn't be here if he didn't play his childish games!" Josh steamed stomping on the soft ground getting his foot stuck. "Great..."
Suddenly, the walls of the stomach dropped. Josh managed to avoid flying up toward the top of the belly due to his stuck foot, when suddenly a deafening sound flooded the chamber, followed a large change in pressure. Josh had to cover his ears since they felt like they were about ready to explode when he dropped to his knees at the definite lack of oxygen.
Gasping for air Josh could hear a few large smacks coming from one of the walls of his prison. Followed by the last words he'd hear before passing out.
"THAT WAS SOME GOOD PIZZA!"
Brody's voice echoed out as Josh fainted in a pile of mush.

Almost 20 minutes had gone by and Body looked up at the clock. "Almost time to head back to work..." He thought.
Emerging finally from the work out room stepped a sweaty Tyler, who immediately headed over to the kitchen table as he heard Brody's voice come from the lounge, "Sup brah!" The man called to his superior.
Looking around for the bottle cap, or even the pizza that was left Tyler quickly got concerned, walking into the lounge to confront Brody. "Dude, did you eat my pizza? And what about the soda... and the cap." He added rubbing the back of his head.
"Shit..." Brody thought. He had no idea it was Tyler's food! He didn't wanna piss off the higher ranking lifeguard so he quickly came up with a lie. "What pizza, bro?" He asked feigning ignorance.
"There was a pizza, and soda on the table, back in the kitchen." Tyler said now coming up with a lie himself, "I was uh.. saving it for when I was done with my workout."
Turning away from Tyler, Brody continued to lie, "Table was empty when I came in, brah. Someone must've taken your food before I came in." He finished casually. "Anyway bro, I gotta get back to work." he said extending his fist out and smiling.
Bumping his fist to Brody's, Tyler replied. "Alright, thanks man. See ya Brod."
For Brody, he was glad he could dodge a bullet for getting in trouble with Tyler. He knew that probably wouldn't gone over well if he knew he ate the pizza. "I was hungry though..." He said rubbing his abs as he walked back around into the park.
Meanwhile Tyler searched the trash, the recycling bin, the kitchen table, and the floors. Never finding his tiny boss. Feeling guilty over losing his boss he was just so puzzled over where the little man could've ended up. Little did he know his unconscious body was being digested in the belly of the man he just let walk away.
