I can't believe Ginger wanted me to wear this… Edward thought as he adjusted the furry costume wolf ears attached to his head. The ocelot had politely asked him to dress up as The Big Bad Wolf for Halloween, and, unable to turn her down, he ordered a wolf tail, pointed ears, and a pair of fluffy paw-gloves.

He had found a costume for Ginger to wear too; a cute little outfit made for dolls, and he couldn't wait to see how she looked in it.

Edward smiled to himself as he opened hcoor and stepped out into the living room. Expecting to see Ginger on the coffee table where he left her, the boy was shocked to find that the spot was empty. "Gingersnap?" he called as he looked around the room. Tilting his head to the side, he quickly bent down on one knee to search the floor. He checked under the couch, but saw nothing save for a few dust bunnies and an old candy wrapper.

Edward furrowed his brow as he stood up and brushed himself off. Where is she? he thought. Just then, he heard a noise coming from the kitchen. It was the rustling of plastic wrappers, accompanied by a tiny, high-pitched giggle.

Edward stood up and headed into the kitchen, his costume tail bumping against his ankles as he walked. He quickly glanced around the room before he stopped to stare at a large bowl of Halloween candy sitting on the table."There you are." Edward grinned when he spotted a long dappled tail spilling out of the bowl. He slowly stalked up to the table and poked at the ocelot's little tail.

Ginger squeaked and wiggled out from under a pile of Kit Kats and Milky Ways. "You found me!" she exclaimed with a purr.

Edward nodded as he reached out to pet Ginger's head. "How'd you get up here anyway?"

"I climbed onto the table all by myself!" Ginger proudly proclaimed. "I crawled up a chair leg to the top, then hopped onto the table and dove into this candy bowl!"

"Wow, I'm impressed!" Edward petted her again with the tip of his gloved finger.

Ginger giggled and rubbed her head up against the boy's finger, blushing a bit at his praise. Then, she carefully climbed out of the bowl and looked up at her friend. "You look nice!" she commented, admiring Edward's wolf costume.

"Thanks," Edward smiled before he leaned forward to get a better look at Ginger's tiny doll costume. With a white ruffled shirt, long red cape and a black skirt, she was dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. "You look cute, Ginger."

"Aww, thanks Ed!" Ginger purred and slowly spun around in a circle to show off her little outfit.

"You're welcome." Edward smiled before he pulled out a chair and sat down in front of her. His gaze immediately wandered over to the large bowl of Halloween candy standing next to her.

Ginger followed his gaze and grinned. "Do you want some candy?"

Edward nodded and licked his lips. He still felt quite hungry despite the fact that he had recently finished a rather large dinner. He was just about to reach out and grab a piece of candy, when Ginger leaped in front of the bowl.

"W-wait!" she stammered.

"What's wrong?"

Ginger hesitated for a moment, looking shy. "You gotta say trick or treat first…!" she told him. "Please?"

Edward chuckled as he looked down at her and held out his hand. "Trick or treat."

Ginger had to stand on her tip toes in order to reach into the candy bowl beside her. With a tiny grunt of effort, she slowly lifted out a Snickers bar and placed it in the palm of Edward's hand. "There you go!"

"Thank you, Gingersnap." Edward unwrapped the candy and popped it into his mouth. He chewed slowly, savoring the delicious treat before he swallowed it down.

"Do you want some more?"

"Yes, please."

"Take as much as you like!" Ginger exclaimed, stepping aside.

Without hesitation, Edward pulled the bowl closer and dug in. He tore open a piece of chocolate and delicately bit off a corner. The smooth candy melted slowly in his mouth, coating his tongue with its rich flavor before he swallowed it down. He quickly stuffed the rest of the piece into his mouth and gulped it down. The boy unwrapped and ate up another piece of candy, then another, and another.

Edward sighed as he stared at the now empty bowl in front of him. He tossed aside a handful of candy wrappers and leaned back in his seat. Despite feeling quite full from the binging, he was not at all satisfied. Why do I feel so…empty inside? Edward thought to himself. I'm still craving something sweet…

Ginger, who was sitting on the edge of the table, looked up at the boy and purred. "Did you eat all of the candy?" she asked.

"Mm-hmm."

"Was it good?"

"It was delicious." Edward told her. But not as tasty as you… All of a sudden, his eyes widened as he felt his mouth water up. That's it! She's what I wanted all along… He thought, for no Kit Kat, Crunch bar, or Almond Joy could match the irresistibly sweet and tangy flavor of Ginger's fur.

Ginger tilted her head to the side and raised an eyebrow. "Are you okay, Ed? You're staring at me…"

"I-I'm fine." Edward felt his face flush as he looked away. He sighed and rubbed at the back of his head. "Actually, I w-was wondering if I could swallow you…?"

Ginger's ears perked up as she twitched her tail in excitement. "Of course you can!"

"Really?" Edward immediately brightened up when Ginger nodded eagerly in response. "Thank you!" he carefully picked the ocelot up and lifted her up to eye level. He hesitated just as he was about to open his mouth and place her inside, pausing to rub at the back of his head again.

Ginger looked up at him in time to catch a flicker of apprehension in the boy's golden eyes. "Are you nervous?"

Edward nodded, flashing a small, sheepish smile. "A little…"

"Don't be. Everything will be okay." Ginger winked and placed her tiny paw on the boy's cheek to reassure him.

"You're right." Edward smiled. "Ready?"

Ginger nodded eagerly.

"Be careful." Edward warned. With that, he opened his mouth and carefully set her down on top of his tongue.

Ginger let out a loud purr as she cuddled her friend's big pink tongue. She watched the light from outside disappear as Edward gently snapped his jaws shut, sealing her inside.

Edward closed his eyes and hummed, savoring Ginger's delicious flavor. He delicately moved her around in his mouth, slicking her up with his thick saliva. After a while, he pulled her tiny body toward the back of his throat and swallowed her carefully.

Ginger squeezed her eyes shut as she was pulled downward by the strong muscles in his throat. She slid smoothly all the way down his tight throat, landing with a gentle thud at the bottom of his warm belly.

Edward sighed and wrapped his arms around his stomach, feeling satisfied at last. "You okay?" he asked, glancing down.

"Yes, of course!" Ginger grinned as she gazed around at her now-familiar surroundings. She carefully made her away around piles of chewed up candy before she sat down in front of the slimy wall of Edward's stomach. Purring quietly, she reached out to touch the soft, spongy flesh.

"Oh - !" Edward flinched and clutched his stomach, startled by the sensation.

"Sorry, Ed!" Ginger quickly pulled her paw away from his belly. "I should have warned you before I did that."

"That's alright, I was just a little startled." Edward smiled as he gazed down at his stomach. "You don't have to stop…"

With a happy purr, Ginger pressed her paws into the spongy flesh beneath her and kneaded it gently. "Do you like it when I rub your tummy?"

Edward blushed. "Y-Yes, I do." He admitted, shyly rubbing at the back of his neck. "It feels so…relaxing."

"I'm happy to hear that!" Ginger beamed as she snuggled up against the wall of his stomach.

Having stuffed himself with treats, Edward was starting to feel drowsy. "Mind if I go lie down?"

"Not at all! Go right ahead." Ginger smiled.

"Thanks," Edward stood up and slowly made his way into the living room, weighted down a bit by his full stomach. With a sigh, he carefully laid down on the couch, stretching out on his back.

Ginger slowly slid backwards until she collided gently with the opposite wall. She purred and curled up, massaging his tummy with her soft paws.

Edward hummed as he placed his left hand on top of his stomach and rubbed it. He couldn't help but notice how warm it felt beneath his hand.

Ginger looked up and mewed quietly. "Ed?"

"Yes, Gingersnap?"

"Do you think..." Ginger hesitated, shuffling her paws anxiously. "Do you think this could become a regular thing for us?"

Edward furrowed his brow, deep in thought. Well, like being able to keep her safe, and I love it when she rubs my stomach... He felt his face flush as he looked away for a moment. "Maybe..."

"Please? You could swallow me, say, once or twice a week and I'll rub your tummy for you!"

Edward's blush darkened at her words. That does sound nice... And being able to taste her fur every once in a while should be enough to satisfy the craving I felt earlier, he thought. "Well, it seems to be safe so far, and I do enjoy swallowing you..." He glanced down and smiled warmly, although she could not see it. "I suppose we could give it a try "

"Really? Yay!" Ginger purred happily as she hugged the pulsing wall in front of her. "Thank you so much, Ed!"

Edward chuckled softly when he felt her press her tiny body against him. "You're welcome, Ginger."

Ginger sat up, her mind racing with excited thoughts. She thought about the coming winter months, and how she could easily hide away from the cold inside her friend's stomach. She would have jumped for joy, had she not been nestled inside already.

Edward, on the other hand, was second guessing himself, feeling worried about their compromise. Did I make the right decision to accept? I never want her to get hurt but I really enjoy swallowing her... Ah, I'm too tired to think about it. He yawned, blinking sleepily as he gazed down at his belly.

Upon hearing his yawn, Ginger stretched out and kneaded her paws into the velvety flesh beneath her.

Suddenly, anxiety and fear gave way to blissful euphoria as Edward allowed himself to fully enjoy the pleasant sensations. He closed his eyes and let out a soft groan in response.

Ginger continued kneading her paws into his stomach with slow, gentle strokes.

Edward fought to stay awake, but exhaustion finally prevailed, and he fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Edward woke up again about an hour later from the best nap he'd had in a long time. Then, with a jolt, he realized he had fallen asleep with Ginger in his stomach. His heart beat faster as panic stirred in his chest. "Ginger, are you there?!" He fearfully glanced down at his stomach.

"I'm alright!" Ginger exclaimed, pressing her paws into his belly.

Edward breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the movement in his tummy. He smiled as he patted it gently. "So, are you ready to get out now?"

"Aww, do I have to?" Ginger frowned as she gazed around at her squishy, comfortable surroundings. "It's so nice and warm in here!"

"You've been in there for quite awhile, Ginger. It's time to get out now, okay?" Although he knew she was safe, Edward was too nervous to leave her inside much longer.

"Okay..." With a sigh, Ginger stood up and headed toward the entrance to Edward's throat.

When she crawled up into his mouth, he sat up and gently spat her out into his palm. "Ready for a bath?"

"Mm-hmm!" Ginger nodded, flicking her saliva-coated tail.

"Okay." Edward smiled down at the little ocelot before he stood up and headed into the kitchen. He turned on the faucet, testing the water with his left hand to make sure it was warm before he held her under the gentle stream.

As soon as Ginger was clean and dry again, Edward brought her into his room and carefully set her down on her shelf. She quickly changed into a pair of fleece pajama pants and a comfortable t-shirt.

"Are you ready for bed, Gingersnap?" Edward asked as he walked up to her shelf in the closet.

"Hmm..." Ginger tilted her head to the side as she waved her tail around in the air. "What time is it?"

Edward glanced at the digital clock on his nightstand. "It's almost nine o'clock." He told her.

Ginger's ears perked up. "Can we watch a Halloween movie before we go to bed?"

Edward sighed, giving her a small smile. He wasn't into Halloween as much as Ginger, but how could he say no? Her eyes were wide and hopeful while her smile was innocent and pleading - he simply could not refuse her. "Sure, why not. Let's go see what's on."

"Yay!" Ginger cheered as Edward picked her up and set her down on his shoulder. I hope my favorite movie is on! She thought as he walked back out into the living room.

Edward picked up his remote and plopped down on the couch, gently holding Ginger against his neck so she wouldn't fall. He switched on the television and began to sort through the channels, grimacing whenever a gruesome horror movie appeared on the screen.

"Edward?"

He nearly jumped when he heard Ginger's soft voice in his ear. "Yes, Gingersnap?"

"Thanks for dressing up with me today. Halloween is my favorite holiday so it meant a lot to me."

Edward smiled as he turned his head to look at her. "You're welcome." He reached up to pet her little head before he turned away again. "Thanks for letting me swallow you again..." He began.

"Anytime!" Ginger exclaimed, twitching her ears up. "Did you like it?" She asked, although she already knew what he was going to say.

"I loved it." Edward tilted his head to rub his cheek up against the furry little ocelot.

"I enjoyed it too." Ginger grinned as she rubbed her head up against her friends cheek. "I can't wait to go back in your tummy again!"

Edward chuckled as he grinned back at Ginger. I love the word tummy... He thought to himself as he changed the channel again.

Ginger turned to look up at the screen, watching as a witch on a broomstick flew across the screen, singing a mesmerizing song as she dipped and weaved. Ginger leaped up, nearly tumbling off Edward's shoulder in excitement. "Ooo, Hocus Pocus! Can we watch it, Ed? Please?"

Edward tilted his head to the side. "Is it scary?" He asked timidly.

"Nope, not really." Ginger shook her head. "I think you'll like it!"

"Okay. Hocus Pocus it is." Edward set his remote down before he settled back against the couch. "Wait a minute - how did you happen to see it?"

"I watched it once a few years ago when I snuck into someone's house one night around Halloween…" Ginger began. "It was freezing outside so I went inside someone's home to get warm. I slipped into the living room and hid under the couch to watch the movie that was on TV. It was Hocus Pocus, and I fell in love with it right away!" She beamed, flicking her tail excitedly. "I haven't seen it since then, though…"

Edward nodded his head as he listened to her story. "It must be a really good movie."

"It is! And now I get to watch it with you!" Ginger purred as she nuzzled the boy's neck.

Ginger shivered a bit as she huddled up on Edward's shoulder. She pulled the fabric of his red coat over her to act as a blanket, but soon found out it was not enough to keep her warm. She glanced around for a moment before her gaze came to a rest on his stomach. She assumed it would be nice and warm from all the candy and treats;8 he ate. "Ed? I'm cold..."

"Would you like me to grab a blanket for you?"

Ginger shook her head as she nervously wrung her front paws together. "C-Can I lay on your tummy instead?"

Edward blushed as he looked over at her. "Sure, if you want to..." He gently picked her up and placed her on his flat stomach.

Ginger let out a content purr when she felt the soft, warm surface of his belly beneath her chilly paws. "Thanks!" She smiled up at her friend as she kneaded his tank top affectionately.

"You're welcome." He smiled warmly. "Are you warm now?"

"Yes! Your tummy's so warm and comfortable - I love it." Ginger gushed, rubbing his stomach in gentle strokes with her front paws."
