Emma looked down at her flat abdomen. "But…why isn't my tummy bulging?" The Joeldemon snorted. "You're a demon, toots. Bigger on the inside. As big as you wanna be, in fact. You could gulp down all of this party and it wouldn't show one bit." A loud giggle emanated from the region of Emma's tummy as Julie tickled Chet. Emma rolled her eyes. "If I _don't_ digest them, am I gonna have to put up with this all the time?" "Think about your insides, and you'll work it out." The demon chuckled. "I can't tell you _everything._" Emma closed her eyes and concentrated on her tummy. She could actually kind of _see_ Chet and Julie in there, if she thought hard enough. She imagined herself shoving the two of them down into a pocket in the darkness, willing them to go to sleep. It seemed to work; they were no longer on her stomach, but she could still feel where they were tucked away. "Wow…" Emma said. "That was amazing." She got to her feet. "I think I wanna do it again." The demon waved to the door. "Be my guest." http://ficlets.com/feed/story/25351
