"Alright, so you'll be good watching the store by yourself?" A large, slightly older wolf asked as he looked back at a younger, smaller tiger.

"Yeah, shouldn't be any problem!" The tiger replied with a grin, already planning on ways to goof off.

"Ok then, just make sure you get everything done like normal, and I'll see you tomorrow." The wolf said as he opened the door to leave. "Oh, by the way. One of the snakes got lose, can't remember which one it was... be sure to find it before you leave."

"A snake? No problem." The tiger said as he waved bye to his boss. "Some little snake probably... just have to make sure it doesn't get in with some of the smaller pets I guess." The tiger continued as he turned around, only to notice a giant snake coiled up behind him, it's head bigger than his torso. "Ah poop." The tiger whimpered before the snake struck, it's maw open wide.


"Ooo! A pet shop!" Damien exclaimed excitedly as he pointed the shop out to Sefra.

"A pet shop?" Sefra asked before grumbling. "Didn't we just come in here for the new pokemon game?"

"Of course, but we can't pass up playing with the cute little puppies and kitties!" Damien giggled as he pulled Sefra along.

The two entered the shop, and looked around, neither of them really realizing that there didn't seem to be anyone else inside the store. Getting inside, the two went right to where the puppies where in the window, Damien 'aww'ing as he reached in to pet them.

"Eee, they're just so cute." Damien giggled as he played with a few of them. "You could just gobble them all up."

"No, no eating the pets, we can't afford that." Sefra grumbled as he stared down at the puppies.

"It's just a figure of speech." Damien replied as he looked around and spotted a cage full of ferrets. "Ooo..."

"I'm going to go look at the birds I guess, see if any of them can talk or something." Sefra mumbled as he watched the fox having fun with the ferrets.

Shaking his head, Sefra headed to the other side of the store where he'd seen the birds at. Walking along he thought he saw something in the corner of his eye near the registers, but seeing nothing with a quick look he simply shrugged and went on. As he got closer to the birds he noticed several glass cages with snakes and other reptiles. Looking through them he noticed a particularly huge, and empty, cage. Sefra simply stared at the cage for a minute, wondering just what could be stored in something that big, before figuring it must be used to hold several animals at once. Leaving the big tank behind, he finally made it to the birds, the moonblossom grinning as he wondered if he could teach any of the ones that could talk odd phrases and sayings.

"Alright, where's the parrots at..." Sefra mumbled before noticing them. "Ah... alright.. let's see if anyone of you know how to talk..."

Sefra went from parrot to parrot, speaking to each of them, trying to see if any of them could actually talk, but without luck. Getting to the end parrot, Sefra grumbled as he noticed a sign under it saying that it was the only parrot that could speak.

"Figures..." Sefra grumbled as he looked at the parrot. "Alright, what can you say?"

"Rawk, Ah poop, rawk." The parrot started saying.

"Ah poop? Who'd teach the parrot to say that?" Sefra asked aloud before hearing something behind him.

Blinking, Sefra turned, only to see a giant snake, a large, squirming bulge in it's coils, looking right at him.

"Ah p-mmph!" Sefra started before the giant snake lunged at him.

Sefra tried to duck out of the way of the snake, but had his entire head engulfed by the it in an instant. He squirmed about and started to bring his paws up to try to push the snake off, but only felt himself getting wrapped up in those thick coils. Grunting, Sefra tried to push at the coils, but wasn't able to bulge them as he felt the snake swallow his head. Sefra tried to yell out for Damien, but was barely able to get out a squeak as he felt those coils squeeze him some. The moonblossom groaned as he felt his shoulders and chest slipping into that giant snake maw, but still didn't give up. Doing his best to kick out, Sefra tried to knock over the bird cages just behind him, but his legs just wouldn't reach thanks to that coils. Sefra continued to wiggle about as he felt himself slipping deeper and deeper into the snake, his stomach vanishing into that hot, tight, fleshy embrace of the snake's long throat. Wiggling his legs a bit, Sefra tried one last kick at the cages. His hopes soared as he felt the metal against the pads of his paws, but they soon faded as the snake swallowed, dragging him in up to his hips. Sefra's toes splayed and wiggled as he tried desperately to hit the bird cage stand, but wasn't able to reach anymore.  Grunting, Sefra felt his head press up against the footpaws of the person that had already been eaten. Sefra tried to shake his head, to get around those paws, but instead only ended up nuzzling into them despit himself, causing the owner to wiggle and splay out their toes as they where forced deeper by Sefra's entrance. Thinking he could at least get a meal out of this for himself before Damien freed him, Sefra tried to open wide, but with the tightness of the wall around him, was only able to get a few toes in before he couldn't open any wider. Groaning, Sefra shook his head again as he felt his legs being slurped up, the moonblossom trying to kick the snake, but it was far too late as he felt the cooler air outside the snakes maw vanish, replaced by the tight hotness of the snake's mouth.

The snake swallowed down it's newest meal. Uncoiling itself, it watched the two bulges, which where now connected, squirming about, sinking deeper in it's coils. It's hunger satisfied, it slithered back towards it's cage. The snake slithered along, tasting the air a few times, but not really able to pick out any new prey. Getting to it's giant enclosure, the snake slithered back up and in through a hole behind it's heating rock. The long, nearly twenty foot long snake slowly slithered itself in, the bulge of it's meals barely squeezing through the hole. The snake slowly started to coil up on it's heating rock as it got into it's cage. The giant creature settled in atop it's rock, the warmth helping it to digest as it slowly coiled it's body up.


"Those bunnies where so cute!" Damien said, thinking Sefra was still behind him, the fox looking to tease the moonblossom.

Damien had continued to wander around the store, never once realizing that Sefra was gone. As he walked around, he noticed the giant glass enclosure holding the snake that had eaten his friend. Grinning, Damien watched it for a minute, just staring at it as it coiled about on it's rock, never notcing the long wiggle bulge at the bottom of it's coils.

"That's a big snake." Damien said as a slow grin broke his lips. "More than big enough to make a light snack outta ya." Damien continued as he turned around, only to notice Sefra wasn't there. "Sefra?" Damien asked as he looked around. "Gah! I can't believe he left me here. Probably already going to buy the new game before me." Damien grumbled as he headed for the door, the fox never realizing that Sefra was still in the store...
