This choice: They travel into Stella's intestines. • Go Back...Chapter #13Journey to the Center of Stella Zhau by: G-Breaker  Stella was casually reading a book at her desk, blissfully unaware that she just sent the boy she liked, along with his five little sisters, on a one-way trip straight down her throat. Deep inside the fleshy interior of the young and beautiful teenage girl's stomach, the miniaturized mini-van turned submarine was floating in a river of bubbling gastric acid with its six shrunken occupants looking for a way to escape their fleshy prison.
"I cannot believe we are actually inside Stella's stomach! Yuck!" Lola exclaimed in disgust. She was more than a little bit nauseous from watching all of the giant food remains dissolve into the acid. "Ugh, I don't know how much more of this I can take." Lola groaned nauseatedly.
"Aw, come on, Lols. It's not that bad in here." Lana retorted as she slumped into her seat, while suprisingly, feeling much more relaxed about their current predicament than most of the others. "And look on the bright side. Now we have a chance to really enjoy the scenery. Just look at what's out there."
As Lana peered out the ship's window, the Loud family mechanic gazed in fascination at the inner workings of Stella's digestive system. Lola, on the other hand, wasn't as amazed as her twin sister since she didn't share Lana's interest in what she mostly thought was disgusting and uncouth. Lana was absolutely astonished by the make up of Stella's inner stomach, from the organic tissue that formed the stomach wall to the gigantic half-eaten foods floating all around them in the sea of gastric acid.
"Wow. I can't believe I'm seeing what happens to food after I eat it." Lana remarked as she pointed to the giant hot dog floating next to their ship. "Whoa, check out that big hotdog, you guys! It's totally melting!"
The six Loud siblings watched as the hotdog slowly dissolved into the bubbling acid. It was quite a sight for some of them, but not everyone was as astounded by such a sight as Lana was.
"That is so gross!" Lola lurched as she averted her gaze from the melting food. "Stella was so gorgeous and amazing to look at on the outside. How can she be so disgusting on the inside!"
"If I may, elder sibling unit. This is how every human being on the planet is portrayed on the inside. We're just getting a closer look at it." Lisa interjected, much to Lola's annoyance.
"But I DON'T WANT a closer look at Stella's gross belly! I just want to get out of here!" Lola yelled.
"Relax, Lola. Just look at the action going on out there." Lana said, gesturing to the dissolving hotdog again as it finally sank into the acid. "It actually makes what we learned in science class feel like less of a snoozefest."
"It figures only a disgusting, garbage-eating slob like you would think being inside a groady stomach would be cool." Lola argued. "But I bet you wouldn't think it was so cool if that was you melting into that nasty, icky, slimy, stomach acid!"
"Quit being such a whiney, prissy princess!" Lana countered.
"Why you! I'll show you whiney!" Lola yelled with her fists raised up. She and Lana were about to get into a fight until Lincoln put an end to their little scuffle.
"Knock it off, you two!" Lincoln exclaimed, stopping the twins just before they could engage. "We need to remain calm. Fighting isn't going to get us out of here, so pull yourselves together. Okay?"
"But, Lincoln, how are we going to survive with that nasty stomach acid out there? We'll be digested alive!" Lola said.
"Don't forget, Lisa made this thing impervious to stomach acid." Lincoln said. "As long as we stay in here, we'll be totally safe. That's the important thing right now. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to any of you. We'll get out of this and get back to normal. I promise."
Lincoln's dedication to protect his sisters touched their hearts. The girls were so glad that they had him around, otherwise, they all would've panicked at the thought of being trapped in Stella's body forever. It was enough to make them calm down so they could get back to the matter at hand.
Lincoln then told Lily to switch seats with Lisa so the latter would ride shotgun with him.
Once Lisa and Lily switched seats, Lincoln informed her of his new plans. "Okay, Lisa. Since you know how this ship works, you're going to be my co-pilot here. I'll drive while you navigate and work the controls."
"Roger that, Lincoln." Lisa affirmed. "First thing's first. We need to find the best route out. This should help."
Lisa then pressed a blue button on the control panel, folding open a computer on the panel where a 3-D image appeared on the screen. It became Stella's body, smiling while in a stylish pose until it displayed her organs on the screen.
"This map shows the inner workings of Stella's body. "Lisa elaborated as she pointed to a red dot blinking on the map. "This dot here is us. Right now, we're inside Stella's stomach, so all we have to do is follow the path from her stomach down to her intestines and we should be out of here in no time."
"That shouldn't be too hard." Lana said.
"Looks like we'll make it after all." Lily added.
However, while the shrunken Louds were devising their escape plan, Stella continued reading for another few minutes, trying to forget the disappointment she felt from being stood up by the boy she secretly had a crush on at his house.
Stella sighed with exasperation as she turned away from her book and looked toward her window half-heartedly. "I wonder what Lincoln and his sisters are up to right now. Those girls sure are lucky to have such a sweet, wonderful, thoughtful boy like that for a big brother."
Stella sighed again as she took out a bag of cookies from her drawer and placed it next to her lemonade. "Well, I'm sure I can hang out with him some other time. And maybe I could even get to know his sisters better, too. Yeah, it would be nice to hear Lucy's poems and maybe even babysit Lily once in a while. I'd really like that."
With that, Stella took a cookie out of her bag and proceeded to eat it as she resumed reading. But even from deep within her stomach, her snack time did not go unnoticed by her little passengers.
*CHOMP!*
"GASP! What was that?!" Lola yelled, startled by a sudden noise that resonated all around them.
"It sounded like some kind of explosion." Lana said.
"You're not too far off, Lans. But listen." Lincoln said, pointing to the closed sphincter above them.
The Louds listened intently as the noise resounded from above the sphincter. It sounded like savage crunching, but it was a lot louder at their size. And soon enough...
*GULP!*
The crunching was quickly followed by a familiar gulp. That's when the sphincter opened again, allowing a large piece of chewed food to fall into the stomach, with the Louds right under it.
"Look out!" Lily yelled. Lincoln instantly drove the sub out of the way before the food could land on them. They then looked at the giant food as it splashed into the acid.
"Is that a... cookie?" Lucy asked in shock.
"Uh oh." Lana yelped.
"Looks like Stella's having a little snack to read with." Lincoln said.
"Then let's get moving before she really gets hungry!" Lola exclaimed as they heard Stella chewing another cookie, followed by another gulp.
"INCOMING!" Lana shrieked.
Just as another cookie piece descended into the gastric chamber, Lincoln quickly avoided it by diving into the acid. He piloted the sub deep into the acid river where they saw the entrance to their next destination up ahead.
"There! Take that way, Lincoln!" Lisa pointed to the sphincter at the bottom of the stomach, prompting Lincoln to drive toward it. Once they were close enough to the huge, fleshy hole, it instantly opened and sucked the sub and some food remains into it like a vacuum. The sphincter then released Subzilla into another fleshy tunnel where the Louds were surrounded by little globs of flesh in a liquid tunnel.
"Whoa. We're in Stella's small intestine." Lincoln observed.
"This place is almost as cool as the stomach." Lana remarked.
"And we're almost home free. So keep moving ahead, Lincoln." Lisa said.
"You got it. Hang on girls, we'll be out of here soon." Lincoln then drove the ship through the intestinal tunnel, hoping it would be a safe trip from here on out.
As he piloted Sub-zilla through the fleshy tunnel, everyone took in the sights along the way. The girls observed the inner workings of Stella's small intestine with great astonishment. It was like a giant red cave with little bumps lining the walls.
"Wow. So this is what the small intestine is like." Lana observed with fascination as she watched some of the digested food remains get sucked into the walls. "Hey, Lisa. What are those little bumps doing?"
"Those 'bumps' as you call them, are called villi." Lisa answered. "Once food gets broken down in the stomach, it gets liquified and sucked into the small intestine. There, it gets absorbed by the villi so they can turn it into nutrients for the body."
"You mean that food is going somewhere else in Stella's body? Like what happens when people say you should put some more meat on your bones?" Lana wondered.
"Precisely. That food is getting absorbed into Stella's bloodstream so that it can feed her body. It's probably going to her legs or thighs to make her more attractive." Lisa said.
"Awesome! I wonder if she could feel me moving around her legs if I got sucked up in there."
"Eww! Can we not talk about this gross stuff anymore, please?!" Lola said in disgust.
"Don't worry, girls. As long as we follow the path, it should be a straight shot out of here." Lincoln said. He tried to pilot the ship in a straight path as much as he could, but it wasn't easy since he had to avoid the villi and keep up with the path as it kept twisting and turning in different directions.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
