This choice: Keep it a secret and drain Bonnie more • Go Back...Chapter #8A Role Reversal by: Ëtalfni   Judy had so lost in thought that she hadn't been watching where she was going as Bonnie stopped short on the sidewalk and stretched out her arm, catching Judy before she could take another step forward. Moments later, a particularly large elephant stomped down the street, completely unaware that he had almost crossed paths with the two bunnies. Though Judy furrowed her brow in annoyance that her mom had stopped them when really they would have been fine.
"Watch it!" Bonnie scolded her. "Honestly, Jude, I hear stories all the time of poor unfortunate mammals who get crushed to death because they aren't paying attention."
"Mom...We would have been fine. You can't halt the flow of traffic just because you're a little afraid of the bigger mammals in the city. You're going to make everyone behind us mad."
"They can go around us then if they don't like," her mother replied before she pulled her along by the wrist. "I'd rather be safe than sorry, Jude."
"I'd much rather be big and confident, given the choice. People respect you if you make yourself large in the city, mom."
At the mere mention of largeness, Judy could feel a familiar tingle coursing through her body followed by the groaning of fabric. She knew exactly what was happening and what she had accidentally done when her mother broke her concentration. Her police uniform was struggling just to keep a handle on her hips as they began to swell in all directions. There were even some new additions as her chest began to stick out a fair bit further than it usually did with a slight bounce to it. Even the sleeves on her shirt were starting to ride up a bit as Judy could see herself growing longer before her very eyes.
Her mother, on the other hand, suffered from the opposite sensations as instead she felt her clothes seemed unusually large on her for some reason. Perhaps that new diet she was on was finally starting to show some results as not only her height dwindled but her waistline as well. All the while she now looked like she could be in her thirties. Judy almost considered that she was doing her mom a favor until she realized that she was now looking down at Bonnie, having grown an inch taller than her. And between the two of them, Judy was the heavier looking one with her face starting to fill out and her limbs feeling like meat in trapped in the tubes of her sleeves. If Bonnie turned around once, she might notice that her daughter was now both taller and heavier than her, almost to the dimensions Judy had been before all this had started though not quite.
"You don't have to sound so angry, young lady," her mom spoke in a tone which was comical now that they looked less like mother and daughter and more like sisters. "And I didn't come all this way to fight, okay? How about we go clothes shopping to take our mind off things? Goodness knows I could use a new outfit. I swear I just bought these clothes last month and they feel gigantic on me."
Judy hummed along, trying to keep a clear mind. She knew two things. One was that whenever she thought about becoming larger, some sort of connection between her and her mother seemed to trigger and she'd start siphoning off height and weight. And two was that she had no desire to inform her mother of this predicament as she would probably freak out. All she had to do was keep a clear head until her mother had been satisfied that she had spent enough time with her daughter. Then maybe separating them from each other might make them...Turn back to normal? At the very least, Judy would stop absorbing Bonnie. But given her mother's consistent mothering, she was having a hard time keeping focused. Zen, that was what Nick called it. Judy needed to relax and not think about what was happening and everything would be fine.
Unfortunately everything was not fine as the two bunnies shuffled along the streets trying to find a clothing store that would satisfy Bonnie's sense of style. Judy thought she was just imagining it but there was no denying it when she measured herself against the back of her mother's head. Judy was still growing and Bonnie was still shrinking. It wasn't at the pace that it had been before with the instantaneous spurts. This was a slow and patient absorption as Judy felt her thighs pressed closer and closer together and her uniform get tighter and tighter. Her mother meanwhile was falling deeper into her clothes the longer she remained in contact with her daughter. All the excess weight she had gained over the years was being sucked up and repurposed to Judy's growing body. Bonnie's height also continued to dip, losing millimeters by the minute, that combined with the added weight loss continued to make her look younger.
By the time the two rabbits reached a clothing store, Judy was left stunned. Her mom looked almost completely like her barring a few minor differences in other physical details. It was such a stark difference from Bonnie's old body that her pants were beginning to fall off her slimmer waist, much to her embarrassment.
"What is happening," Bonnie muttered to herself as she shuffled to the bathroom. "Be right back, don't start without me."
Judy was just thankful her mom hadn't glanced over her shoulder but it was only a matter of time now until she too realized what was happening to her. To them. Judy gingerly glanced over to a nearby mirror in the store and gasped.
Staring back at her was almost an exact clone of her mother wearing a much-too-tight police uniform that she looked ready to explode out of. The resemblance was almost uncanny as Judy touched her face to confirm that the reflection was indeed genuine. She was huge! Was this how her mother felt everyday? It was actually a little empowering. Judy felt bigger and with that bigness came a new feeling. Confidence, both in herself and her body. She just couldn't fully enjoy it with other things on her mind.
"But how?" Judy wondered before she glanced down at a strange green glow on her paw. "...The ring?"
It seemed crazy but the word confidence echoed around her head when she recalled what that strange goat had mentioned before gifting it to her. This was supposed to give her confidence, right? By sucking all the weight and height from her mother? Or was it just because her mom had been close to her all this time. Curious, Judy reached up and tugged the ring off her finger.
In an instant, the green glow faded from the gemstone and Judy felt a strange comfort fall over her body. It was like she had been inhaling the whole time and was now given the chance to exhale, or breathe freely. She stared down at the little ring. What else could be the cause of all this? People didn't just...Absorb body mass from other people. This had to be the cause.
This realization was followed by another in the bathroom as she could hear her mom let out a shriek. She must have finally discovered the mirror to observe her change in appearance. With her new weight, Judy huffed and puffed as best as she could to the bathroom.
