Author's Notes- I don't own Dragon Ball Super. The show and manga are created by Toei Animation and Akira T. For the next three chapters, these will be "The Dream What Ifs" These chapters will focus on the dreams of Caulifla, Kale, and Cabba. By the end of each chapter, I will probably give out some inspiration of where I got the story idea from. Please enjoy and send me a review below for any ideas for the next chapters in the story. Thanks!
Caulifla and Kale What IF: Chapter Twelve- "Puffy Kale?"
Caulifla's Hideout, Kale's Room (Nighttime)
It's nighttime and the two Saiyan girls are not having the best of nights. Kale is in her bed, sweating and panting like crazy. She has the fever and needs a cure for it! Caulifla is on the case since she can't go to the hospital for the fever to go away. She grabs a book, reads a page of a berry elixir that will cure the fever overnight. She runs out of the room, carries a big blender to the room, plugs it in, and quickly grabs a bag of berries. The berries have a red color to them with blue specks on them. Caulifla pours the entire bag into the blender, pours in water for some liquid additions, and blends the berries to make a drink. After a couple of blending, Caulifla stops the blender, pours in a cup of the homemade elixir, walks quickly to Kale's side of the bed, and tells her friend to drink it. "I believe that the berries will cure the fever and everything will be fine. (Reads the book) I've also read that there will be some side effects that might kick in, so don't panic, if some of them start showing in the morning. Just get some rest, Kale." said Caulifla, as she smiles at her friend. Kale listens to her words while drinking the elixir down in a few sips. She was done with the drink, places the cup next to her, and tells Caulifla good night. "I'll see you in the morning, Caulifla," said Kale, as she pulls the bedsheets over her chest and closes her eyes for the night. Caulifla leaves her friend's room so that she can go into her room for the night as well. It was nice for her to help with her friend's fever. "I just hope that I've done the instructions right," said Caulifla to herself, as she enters her room.
The Next Day…
It's morning and Kale is starting to wake up. She yawns for a little while, before seeing the ceiling with a happy expression. She's happy that her fever is now gone overnight and she can have the rest of the day to herself. She later looks down to see a large lump under her bedsheets. She's confused as to why there's a large lump under her bedsheets. She pulls out her hand, which is more plumper and soft than she remembered from last night. She touches the lump without her noticing the change yet, watching it jiggle and making that low gurgling sound. That made Kale tickle a little, still confusing her as to what the lump is. She quickly removes the bedsheets, seeing what the lump truly is. She sees her oversized stomach overshadowing her feet, wiggling from the removal of the sheets. She later sees her soft, more plump hands in shock, as she now realizes that her body has inflated somehow. She rolls herself out of bed, landing on the floor on her face. Her stomach soften the landing, but that made the experience a bit uncomfortable for her to handle. She gets off of the floor, walks her way to the mirror, taking her a while to get here, due to her legs being a lot thicker. She finally reaches to the body mirror, seeing her true figure. Her stomach is huge! Her legs and arms are now the sizes of plush parts and her cheeks are now the size of softballs. Her chin isn't safe from inflation, as it now shows some neck rolls. She touches her now plump stomach, feeling it gurgle and jiggle around her body. She makes a terrified expression, scared that something is wrong with her.
Kale: AHHH! What has happened to me!? Why do I look so...so...FAT!? (Pats her stomach, making it jiggle/*gurgle) What will Caulifla say about this!? Wait a min- (Looks at her dresser and the book from last night) She did say that the side effects would kick in. I better see what kind of side effects were in those berries. (Walks her way to the dresser, both slowly and uncomfortably) Ugh! These legs are starting to feel hotter when I walk. I think my thighs are burning! (Tries to pick up the book from the dresser) Ugh! My stomach is in the way! Come on! (Grabs the book, regains her balance, and starts flipping through the pages) Where is the- Hah! There it is! "The side effects that the berries have for such person who eats or drinks a cup of them overnight will have bloating, body inflation, increase appetite, and more body growth. They will wear off for one week!" I have to wait one week to decrease back to normal!? Uh...H-How am I supposed to go through the week if I look like this!? (Looks at her stomach/*gurgle-gurgle)
Caulifla: (Knocks on Kale's door) Kale? Are you awake?
Kale: (Scarily looks at the door) C-Caulifla?
Caulifla: I have to go to my brother's place for the rest of the week! Don't worry! There's food for you to have that should last and if the side effects start to kick in, then don't panic! Just relax and go with them. Got it?
Kale: Uh…
Caulifla: I think that was a yes! I'll see you next week, Kale! (Leaves the area)
Kale: Wait, Caulifla! I have to tell you...something… Oh. (Makes a sad expression) Now what? I have to go through the week like this and Caulifla will be out. I'm not ready for this. No. (Makes a serious expression) I can do this. I'm not going to let Caulifla down. First, I'm going to change my clothes. Let's hope that they fit me. (Walks to the closet and grab her clothes)
Ten Minutes Later...(Kitchen Area)
Kale: (Walks into the kitchen, while rubbing her stomach) My clothes still fit me, but it's not enough to cover this huge stomach of mine. Oh! This is not the best look for me. (Opens the fridge) I hope that there's something good for me to eat. (Looks at a pile of uncooked meat and vegetables) I'm not a cook, so cooking meat is going to take me a while to get a hold of. What else is there to eat? (Smells something sweet) There's something sweet near here. (Closes the fridge, goes to the cabinets, and opens one, revealing a cookie jar) Cookies? (Grabs the cookie jar, opens the lid, seeing a good amount of soft-baked cookies) Mmm. They do smell and look good to eat. (Stomach growls/*GURGLE!) Uh...I don't know if eating cookies is going to fill me up for the day. Wait! There's ice cream and brownies near here, so I'll eat those with the cookies! Nice thinking. (Opens the top fridge door, grabbing a tub full of ice cream, closes it, opens another cabinet, grabbing a bag of brownies, and leaves the kitchen area)
Kale eats her "breakfast", consisting of brownies, vanilla ice cream, and cookies on the side. She was suspicious at first about eating sweets in the morning, but after eating those desserts down, she was feeling a bit better. After eating all of the cookies in the cookie jar, all of the brownies in the bag, and ALL of the ice cream in the tub, Kale rubs her now larger stomach in pleasure. She liked eating sweets in the morning. She later hears her stomach gurgle some more, trying to digest the amount of food that she just ate. She still needs to be strong for the side effects to wear off if she wants to be normal-sized again. She turns on the TV, seeing the news for today. Speaking of today, she was supposed to train with Caulifla, but she's gone to see her brother for the rest of the week, so...training is going to be hard for this Saiyan girl to do. Kale watches TV for a solid one hour and thirty minutes until her stomach begins to growl even louder than before. Her stomach vibrates, jiggles, and gurgles more, getting her attention from the TV. She is nervous about why her stomach is like this. She holds onto her stomach, as she sits up, rubbing it. "I-I don't know what the sounds of my stomach are making, but it better not be bad!" said Kale, as she closes her eyes for the worst. Instead of her stomach exploding, her butt makes a cute squeaking sound. She opens her eyes, blushes her cheeks, and smells a bad odor from behind her back. Did she just fart? Her butt makes the same noise again, but this time, Kale can see a light green smoke coming out of there. Yes! She did fart! Not only that, but her stomach growls again, this time, her cheeks puff out. Kale releases a loud burp from out of her mouth, causing the Saiyan girl to lean against the couch that she's sitting on. She covers her mouth, her face turns red, and she keeps on farting. "This is embarrassing…but...I like it. Caulifla is not here to make fun of how I look, fart, or burp after breakfast. I guess being large and in charge is a good thing." are Kale's thoughts, as she laughs through the farts and burps that she continues to make.
Caulifla's Hideout, Living Room (Three Days Later)
It has been three days since Kale has been alone by herself with this rounded form of hers. She likes being this large for a while that she doesn't want Caulifla to come back. She can eat as much food as she wants, without judgment, she can take a break from training, fart, and burp wherever she wants to, and the best one of all is that she doesn't have to worry about her appearance. Her stomach and other plump body parts are still the same. Kale feels like she has gone a bit bigger over the past few days, but she still looks plump in all of the right places. She takes a seat on the couch, bending it a little, turns on the TV, opens a bag of brownies, and eats them, while watching some shows that she has been waiting to watch. This goes on for hours until a door knocks. Kale stops eating her fifth brownie to look at the door. "Kale? This is Cabba! Are you there?" said Cabba from behind the entrance door. Kale, at first, is scared that Cabba has not known of her inflation event a few days back, but she thinks that he can keep a secret from her. She walks to the door, slowly from how her legs keep making it hard to walk at a normal pace. She reaches the handle of the door, opens the door, and reveals her form to Cabba.
Kale: H-Hi Cabba. How are you doing today?
Cabba: Whoa, Kale! Your body! I-I guess that Caulifla gave you the elixir for your fever, Huh? Did you read the side effects?
Kale: (Pats her stomach, making it jiggle/*gurgle!) Of course, I did! At first, I was nervous about what this form could do, but after a few days, I felt better. This stomach is soft, it makes me feel safe, and I can do whatever I would like to do on my own. Eat as many sweets from the kitchen, lay on the couch, watch TV shows and movies, and never have to train. Caulifla should be back from her brother's place. I don't know why she would like to go there. I thought that she doesn't like Renso.
Cabba: She does, but on Friday, it's his birthday, so she had to go and meet him early.
Kale: Oh! That's the same day when we were going to train with you. Is that why you're here, Cabba?
Cabba: No. I'm here to see if Caulifla read the instructions to the book. (Looks at Kale's rounded form) From how you look now, I think she did a half job on it. Just wait four more days for the side effects to wear off. Okay, Kale?
Kale: Okay, Cabba. I should go back to my shows. Don't want to miss anything.
Cabba: (Smiles at Kale) You know, Kale? You remind me of Limo. He thought that he would be embarrassed if he was that round, but after a few days with Janet as an assistant, he was feeling much better. I think that you and he should meet after you're back to normal. Is that okay with you?
Kale: (Looks at Cabba with blushed cheeks) I g-guess that would be fine, Cabba. O-Okay! Bye! (Shuts the door behind her)
The Saiyan girl is not a fan of talking to other boys, other than Cabba. Hearing that Cabba's friend is also round like her, it might be a good moment to talk to him. Kale sits on the couch, continues to watch her shows, while thinking of what Limo will be like, once she's back to her normal form. "If Cabba is right about him, then...I guess that this Limo person isn't that bad of a guy. I don't like talking to strangers, who are not Caulifla or Cabba, but Limo...his name alone is just innocent enough for me to even talk for him for a solid five minutes. I think that I'm starting to feel better about being my person." are Kale's thoughts, as her stomach begins to growl louder. "Oh! It seems that I need something to drink. Oh! Caulifla has these cans of soda in the bottom fridge part. That would be enough for the day!" said Kale, as she gets off of the couch and into the kitchen for those soda cans.
Caulifla's Hideout, Kale's Room (Four Days Later)
It's morning and four days later into the week. Kale wakes up, feeling better from her sleep. She gets out of bed, heads to the mirror to see her rounded, puffy form. Instead of seeing that form, she sees her normal, fit form. She was back to normal! "Wow! That book was right! I'm back to normal! But..." said Kale, as she looks away with a sad expression. She thinks of what will Limo say to her, once he comes here for a visit. Will he still like her for who she is? Kale shakes her head, remembering that she needs to be strong for her own life. Besides, Caulifla will come back to the hideout in a matter of minutes. Kale goes to her closet for her clothes, leaves her room, and walks to the living room for breakfast. A few minutes had passed, and Kale is watching TV. It doesn't feel the same without her rounded form, but she feels okay. She hears a knock on the door, signaling her to go to it. She thinks that Caulifla is back from her brother's visit. She opens the door, saying "Caulifla! Welcome home!", and hugging "her. Kale notices that her friend isn't that soft to the touch. She looks up, seeing a chubby chin and a face looking down at her. "Uh...A-Are you K-Kale?" said the Saiyan male in yellow. Kale quickly lets go of the male, shakes in embarrassment, and shyly looks away. "I'm...I'm sorry about that. I thought that you were my friend coming back. So...W-Who are you?" said Kale, as she looks at the Saiyan male, who has an overweight appearance. "My name is Limo. Cabba told me about you lately and asked me if I could talk to you for a while. At first, I felt nervous about talking to a girl, but after a whole lot of thinking over the past four days, I have decided to meet you. So, do you want to talk about our day?" said Limo, as his cheeks turn red. Kale's cheeks also turn red, after now realizing that Cabba did say to her that meeting him would be a good opportunity for a good conversation. She tells him to come in and sit on the couch. "I'll get you some snacks for the day. What do you want?" said Kale, as she goes into the kitchen. "I guess brownies would be nice. Thanks!" said Limo, as he walks to the couch, sits down, and looks at the shows. Kale blushes harder, after hearing that Limo would like some brownies. She likes them! Maybe Cabba was right. Limo is the right guy for her. After coming back from the kitchen with a bag of brownies, Kale and Limo eat and watch TV for two hours. The scene suddenly turns black, some growling sounds occur, and groaning can be heard in the background. Wait! Something is wrong and I have a feeling that I'm going to figure this one out! If that's the case, then let's see what's been going on!
*Dream ends...(Kale's Room, Nighttime)
Kale: (Rubs her growling stomach in pain) Ugh! My stomach! (Sits up, removes her sleeping mask, and continues to rub her stomach) It's been like this, after me, Cabba, and Caulifla ate dinner a few hours ago. I also have the weirdest dream. I was inflated, having the time of my life, and...(Blushes) I thought of hanging out with Limo. I think that sleeping with Caulifla would make the pain go away. If not, then I think that there's something wrong with me. (Gets out of bed, puts on her slippers, grabs her sleeping mask, and leaves the room)
Caulifla's Room…
Caulifla: (Snoring) …
Kale: (enters Caulifla's room) (I know that she needs her beauty sleep, but my stomach hurts and I need some sleep, too. I hope that she can understand.) (Shoves Caulifla) Caulifla? Wake up.
Caulifla: Ngh! Kale! What is it? Can't you see that I'm sleeping!?
Kale: I know, but...uh...I have a stomach ache.
Caulifla: (Opens her eyes, rubs them, and looks at Kale) You can't sleep, because of a stomach ache?
Kale: And...I might have had a "bad" dream. So, Can I sleep with you tonight?
Caulifla: (Sighs) Okay, Kale. Since I can't say no to you. Jump in!
Kale: Thanks, Caulifla. (Climbs onto Caulifla's bed, slides into her sheets, and prepares herself for sleep) Caulifla?
Caulifla: Yes, Kale?
Kale: You need to clean your bed a lot more. It's starting to get cluttered. (Closes her eyes from behind her sleeping mask)
Caulifla: Tsk! Like I need to clean my room. I'm the queen around here. I...don't need.., to do...anything at all…, because I'm a...giant to all who judge me. (Closes her eyes and goes back to sleep)
The end?
