THE NEW POOLTOY

BY SIMBALLOON

	Frank was sitting in the living room, staring at the TV on a dreary, rainy afternoon when he heard the doorbell ring. The young man sprung to his feet and almost dashed towards the door, hoping that it was the package he had ordered weeks ago from Japan. Opening the door he found the delivery an standing there with a package under his arm and he could barely contain his excitement as he signed for the package and then thanked the delivery man before closing the door and running back into the small living room of the house he and his friend rented.
	“Ooooo! I think even Dan is going to like this one! Might have to buy one for him as well!” Frank exclaimed as he tore the paper off the package. Luckily he was living with a friend who loved inflates as much as he did, so no real need to hide his new toy. Upon getting the paper off he almost jumped for joy as he saw the picture on the box. A big, rubbery pool toy version of Jungle Emperor Leo, looking much as he did in the 90’s feature. Sure, Frank was always bummed about the ending, but he just loved the looks of that big white lion and it also helped that Disney had never produced a big Simba inflate or he would have that too.  Running excited fingers through his blond hair, Frank opened the box. He couldn’t wait to inflate and feel the big toy against him in all his glory.
	“What the hell?” was all Frank could get out as the box was totally empty, except for a small canister  inside. He had been so excited that he hadn’t noticed that the box lacked in weight. “Is this some sort of sick joke?” He wondered aloud as he looked the canister over. That was about all he could think as the canister beeped then basically exploded in his hands, sending a spray of white latex all over him and his clothes. Before Frank could even react the white latex began to rapidly coat over his skin, simply soaking through the clothing to get to him as it coated him from head to toe. Dropping the canister, Frank stumbled around, feeling light headed and actually even lighter on his feet as he tries to get to the bathroom to wash the stuff off. “I’m going to sue someone for this!!” He yelled angrily, but then fell over onto the floor. Hardly able to move as he felt so light-headed. Then the hissing began as Frank’s hazel eyes widened.
	Wriggling on the floor, Frank tried to get up, but he couldn’t as the hissing got louder and he felt pressure building inside him. His body pressing out against his T-shirt and shorts as he began to grow bigger. His hands suddenly fwoomping into big, white paws as his body slowly inflated into a new shape, pulsing a little as air did its magic. His face pushed out into a muzzle with a brown nose pad painted on as his eyes went brown and became more anime. His ears changing position and growing in size, becoming large with pink paint for the insides and black tips. A tearing sound was heard as a tail burst through his shorts, growing with an inflated black tuft at its tip. As all this happened, all Frank could do was go along for the ride. Though part of him was scared, more and more of him was finding pleasure in the change as it moved along. Soon his clothes gave out with muffled bangs as the could no longer contain the expanding rubber lion that was forming. A symphony of squeaks and creaks filling the room as what was once a nearly six foot tall human was now firming up into a beautiful, nearly twelve feet long from nose to tip of the tail, Jungle Emperor Leo balloon. A pair of grab handles popping up on his shoulders with a couple thumps as Frank’s new body firmed up. His once blond hair now grown into a white mane. A valve also coming up with a pop on his rump as he couldn’t help but to shudder and moan from the sensations. Soon the big lion pool toy balloon was drum tight and the hissing ceased, leaving behind a somewhat puzzled, but actually increasingly accepting toy.
	Finding he could move again, Frank slowly got up onto his four paws and looked around. His mind a bit cloudy as instructions seemed to flash through it. How to take care of himself, what to do if popped, and also a new purpose in life. “I want to be played with and snuggled with!” He said almost giddily, a chuckle coming from him as he bounded lightly around the room. “I will further the cause of the inflatable white lions! Everyone needs a big lion to love and play with, even naughty play!” These new thoughts didn’t even bother Frank as he laid back down in the living room. He ‘smoothed’ out his painted on  whiskers and then went into pool toy pose. Making sure the light was shining nicely off his white, latex skin. He couldn’t wait for his friend to come home and enjoy him!
