An unexpected encounter [Lillian's paths]
[Note: As an alternate path, this chapter ignores the previous one's events but not the others' preceding it, but it used the same introductory portion. Check the previous chapter for it, only part of it is re-added here because of character length limit]


"So, here's the thing: I'm offering you the chance to take care of Blaise while he's shrunken like that. It wouldn't be too safe to stick around with me with all the stuff I'll have to do to get him back to normal" Zuemy said, Veronica's blush went all the way to tomato redness, but she smiled and shyly nodded.

"Why me though? Why me and not one of his friends?" She asked, feeling a little insecure, especially when thinking of Jen and her prodigious bust, which Veronica herself was fairly envious of. Lillian also sported a much bigger butt than her own, but she wasn't as insecure about that since hers was pretty large, and unlike Lillian, she was a more slender but still curvy body frame.

"Because you're cool, and I think you guys would make a cute couple" Zuemy nonchalantly replied, but that only made Veronica blush more.

"I dunno if I can do it" She shyly looked away

"I know you can, have some faith in yourself!" Zuemy patted her shoulder.

"Um, okay... well, where is he now?" Veronica asked after taking a deep breath to muster some courage.

"That's the lovely part. He's already with you" Zuemy smiled.

"Huh?! What do you mean he's already with me?" Veronica struggled not to stutter while the warmth in her face got further cranked up.

"He's already on your person" Zuemy laughed some more "He got pretty up close and personal with your best feature"

Veronica froze upon hearing that. Her heart definitely skipped a few beats as she tensed up.
"W-Where exactly?" She asked in a shaky voice.

"I already told you" Zuemy said, eyeing her lap and wiggling her eyebrows. Veronica almost choked and needed a moment to cool off, she was blushing way too much.
"You'll definitely feel him if you clench your cheeks" She added, making the poor redhead blush all the way to tomato red once more and feel like she was about to faint. Once she calmed down enough, she carefully did as told and gasped, she could make out a distinctly human form, albeit a very small one, engulfed by her plush cheeks.

"W-W-Why did you put him in there?!" She embarrassedly asked "I... I didn't know he was there... when I..." She said, unable to finish the sentence but realizing that you had been right there when she farted, twice at that.

"Is this how you treat your friends, Zuemy?" Lillian called out, startling both girls, although her voice sounded more upset than outright angry

"Shit" Zuemy muttered as she slowly turned around

"Gee, thank you for stabbing me in the back! Really appreciate it" Lillian then said and looked Veronica in the eye, who froze in fear, with no idea on what to do

"H-Hey, that's not what I meant" Zuemy awkwardly said

"Oh, really? Then why did you go behind my back after you saved Blaise?" Lillian said, frowning
"Didn't it make more sense to bring him to, you know... his best frickin friend since forever ago?!"

Zuemy gulped, not because she was afraid, although Lillian was really huge for a highschool girl, and surprisingly was one of the most athletic, or at least one of the strongest in the entire school. But she had seldom seen her this upset, she was really hurt by this, and she lamented not having thought this through

"Well, you know... uhh" Zuemy looked around uncomfortably as she fumbled with the words in her head.

"What is it?" Lillian raised an eyebrow, knowing she was probably going to say something hurtful or at least something that'd bother her in some way

"I mean... err... I wasn't entirely sure about giving him to you"

"Why?" Lillian pressed

"Uhh... I was sure that if I gave him to you, you'd just go crazy on him... and I didn't really want him to drown in farts, you know?" Zuemy awkwardly chuckled

"Oh, I see... so that's why instead you handed him over to the school's Farting Queen instead" Lillian said with a subtle smirk while Veronica blushed intensely

[Paths]

Lillian walked towards her, but not quite in a threatening way, instead, she had a serious, somewhat hurt look in her eyes.
"Hey, Veronica" She greeted her, which the blushing redhead found a bit odd, but greeted her back

"H-Hey, Lillian!" She had no idea how to react afterwards, or what to do

"So, you asked him out, huh?" She asked. Veronica didn't sense anger in her voice, but knowing her story with you to some extent, she felt bad, but still decided to answer truthfully.

"Y-Yeah, I did..." She said "But it was a misunderstanding, really. Nothing ever came of it, I even left before he gave an answer"

"But you wanted to try again, huh?" Lillian teased, laughing a little. Veronica had no idea how to react, still unable to get an accurate read on Lillian's mood

1) " *sigh* I hate to have to ask this of you... but... I think you already know" Lillian said, looking into her eyes more intently
"Please don't take... him... away from me" The look in Lillian's eyes said everything. That pause. She might've said 'best friend' earlier, but even Veronica knew that wasn't what she meant, she wanted to say something else

Now Veronica felt as if her heart had been pierced by a volley of arrows
'I... I guess I should've known... I really shouldn't take him from her... they've been friends for so long... she probably means to ask him out eventually...' She thought, feeling an intense guilt. She had her own feelings, but she couldn't bear to do this to another girl... even less so to another one like herself. Still, even though she had made her decision, she could feel her heart crumbling and tears welled up in her eyes. Barely suppressing the urge to cry, she nodded and reached into her butt, gently pulling you out, and placing you on Lillian's hand

------

"So... you did beat me to the punch" Lillian chuckled "Quite fitting for the Farting Queen to be one step ahead"

"Huh?!" Veronica was more surprised by her reaction than by her casual use of the nickname she was often embarrassed about

"But... you know, if it goes like this, you'll just keep him... I don't think that's fair" Lillian frowned. Veronica was just utterly confused at this point, though she was slowly piecing things together
"You've got feelings for him, but so do I. I will respect yours, but I believe in playing fair. We should both get a chance"

"What do you mean?" Veronica asked. Lillian closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, as if she was mustering up the courage for something

2) "I say we both confess and ask him out. Let Blaise decide who he wants to be with" She said, making Veronica blush all the way to tomato red while Zuemy almost choked, not expecting Lillian to have jumped the gun to such an extent. It looked like she had been thinking about it for a while, which made her wonder just how long had she been following her. Still, as there was no real argument against such an idea, Veronica nodded, it was fair, she knew of Lillian's long friendship with you, and ultimately letting you make the final decision felt correct in a way, but she couldn't help but feel sad, anticipating she'd probaby lose

3) "Well, I know you're one of the school's top beauties" Lillian said with a smile "And seniors do have an appeal of their own"
"But, I want a fair chance to win his heart" She said in a more serious tone

"W-What do you suggest?" Veronica said, blushing and shaking since she always felt awkward taking compliments from people besides her friends, and specially since Lillian seemed to be rivaling her over her crush on you

"Something simple actually" Lillian shrugged "A little beauty contest" She smiled more.

"A what?!" Veronica's eyes widened from embarrassment.

"It's a fair competition, we let Blaise admire our bodies and let him decide whose he likes more. You can still win! If you do, I'll accept the loss, pinky swear" Lillian said, playfully patting her slightly pudgy belly.
"I'm probably at a disadvantage here, I know I'm not the conventional kind of beauty, but neither is Blaise the conventional boy, so, it's fair enough"

Although confused and embarrassed by the whole idea, she couldn't deny Lillian's proposal was quite fair, and even felt a bit of her own pride swelling. She needed to have more self confidence, and maybe she could then legitimately win you over. It'd feel better than just having had you handed over for free.

4) "I think you already know that we two are birds of the same feather" Lillian said, to which Veronica slowly nodded.
"And I'm aware I'm not exactly girlfriend material myself" Lillian giggled, though Veronica looked away, feeling awkward at her self-deprecation
"I think I've got a way for us all to be happy"

"What is it?" Veronica raised an eyebrow.

"We share him" Lillian said.

"W-w-we... we what?!"

"You heard me. You can be the official gf, after all, you're prettier than I am" Lillian said, glancing at her slightly chubby belly and her small bust, though Veronica's wasn't much bigger either.
"But I get to be his second gf, so we share him 50/50. Deal?" Lillian offered her hand to shake, she was completely serious about it while both Veronica and Zuemy were utterly baffled.
