Blake may have been worried earlier about what Jade's friends would think of him if they knew he had become fat on his sister's belly, but those worries dissipated when he heard them talk about him. Faith was undoubtedly a mage like him, so she could help him get out of Jade's belly without her having to go home first. Hannah definitely liked him, so perhaps he could convince her to persuade Jade to let him out. As for Emily, despite her sarcastic demeanour, Blake got the impression that she also liked him in some way. As a result, he concluded that he should try to get their attention.
"Hey! Ladies! Down here! I'm in Jade's belly!" Blake shouted while jumping up and down as much as he could. He hoped that the girls would notice either the sound of his voice or the bit of Jade's belly fat moving on its own. Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, Jade's entire belly vibrated as it let out a deafening roar, demanding to know why it still wasn't being filled up with food. But, as luck would have it, all three of her friends were already staring straight at Blake.
"Uh, Jade, something weird's going on with your belly," Hannah said uneasily, pointing at where she saw the belly fat shifting.
"Wonder if we can make it happen again!" Emily yelled enthusiastically only a moment before poking Jade's belly right where Blake was. This caused Blake to yelp in pain and kick outward. "Holy shit, it talks!"
"Jade's hunger has grown so powerful," Faith proclaimed, "it has manifested as a lesser demon of gluttony!" Jade burst out laughing at her friend's theory and, now that Blake had let the cat out of the bag, she figured it was best that she told the others what was really going on.
"No, no, that's not a demon, that's just my brother," Jade explained casually. "He used magic to make himself virtually indestructible, but it also made him really tiny."
"And you ate him?" Hannah interrupted with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah," Emily replied smugly, "she gobbled him up and now he's in her belly!"
"Well, in a way, yes," Jade clarified. "He's not inside my stomach, he got digested and absorbed into my body, so now he's like a living bit of fat on my belly. But don't worry, he's totally fine!" She gently rubbed her belly while her friends processed what they had just been told. For several seconds, the loudest sounds coming from the four girls were the growling noises from their hungry bellies.
"I ... um ... I think we should get some lunch now," a conflicted Hannah eventually suggested. The others quickly agreed and entered the burger bar.
Thankfully, it wasn't long before the girls were all seated and tucking in to their meals. Blake was relieved that he would finally get a respite from having to both listen to and feel Jade's belly rumbling. Plus, thanks to the way the seats at the table were arranged, he also got a pretty good view of the three girls' bellies he wasn't trapped inside. What he didn't see was what the girls had all ordered - most importantly, what Jade had ordered. Fortunately, a remark from the ever-concerned Hannah gave him a pretty big clue.
"Um, Jade ..."
