The next morning Hova woke up with a yawn. She turned to look at her abdomen and gave it a little comforting pat.
"Morning Lucas. Time to get up." Said Hova as she stood up.
"Five more minutes." Grumbled Lucas.
"Come on Lucas it's a beautiful day." Said Hova.
"Well I can't see that, while I'm in your stomach." Complained Lucas giving a little kick to one of the stomach walls.
"Good point. Kind of forgot about that." Said Hova with a chuckle.
Lucas just rolled his eyes. He had first thought and hopped that the whole being shrunken to ant size, being kidnapped by ants, and being eaten by Hova was just a really strange dream, but then he woke up in the pitch blackness of Hova's stomach with the sound of her heart nearby. Lucas just sighed in annoyance as Hova went about her business, occasionally telling Lucas about the colony and the lives of the various ants and their duties. At one point Lucas's own stomach rumbled and growled in hunger.
"I'm hungry." Said Lucas.
"Well I guess its time to eat." Said Hova as she headed to the mess hall.
"How exactly am I supposed to eat in here?" Asked Lucas.
"Well I guess I eat the food and it gets sent down to you and you eat it." Said Hova.
"Gross." Grumbled Lucas as he began to adjust his body so it was completely turned around.
Lucas began to feel around the stomach, until he felt something like a hole. He guessed that's where the food came in through. Lucas considered trying to go through the hole to try to escape, but decided not to since he would simply be recaptured and feed back to Hova or another ant. It probably was best to wait things out.
Hova entered the mess hall and grabbed herself a bowl. She made her way to one of the caterpillars there and held the bowl out beneath it's rear. The caterpillar did it's business and Hova had a large bowl full of green slimy orbs. The ants called the orbs honeydew and it was considered a delicacy. Hova looked at the large amount of honeydew and considered giving some of it away, but then she remembered she was eating for two and headed to a nearby table and took a seat.
"Alright Lucas I'm fixing to send some food down to you. This is called honeydew." Said Hova as she grabbed one of the orbs and slurped it down in a single gulp.
Lucas could hear Hova swallow and he stuck his hands up near the hole. He felt something pour into the stomach and land in his hands. Lucas lifted his hands to his face and sniffed what was in them. He then carefully tasted a little and swallowed. Lucas liked the taste and gulped down the rest of the honeydew.
"You like it?" Asked Hova.
"This is awesome! Taste like green apple bubblegum!" Said Lucas with joy.
"Well there's more where that came from." Said Hova happy to hear that Lucas liked the honeydew.
Hova proceeded to eat the rest of the honeydew and Lucas gulped down what he could catch with his hands. The bowl was soon empty and Lucas was licking his lips inside Hova and asking for more. Hova smiled and went to get more honeydew from one of the caterpillars. She got some and was heading back to her table, when she encountered her friends Fugax and Kreela.
"Looks like someone has a big appetite. You expecting?" Said Kreela indicating Hova's abdomen.
"Kind of, but not in the way your thinking." Said Hova.
"Its about time you and Zoc settled down and had a kid." Said Fugax as he went over to Hova's abdomen to inspect it.
"We haven't quit done that yet." Said Hova, but Fugax wasn't really listening.
"Hey there little baby, how's it going?" Said Fugax to Hova's abdomen.
"I'm not a baby." Complained Lucas.
"Aaaaaaaaaa! A super developed prodigy baby!" Yelled Fugax as he leaped back.
"What the heck is going on?" Asked Kreela.
Hova filled her friends in about Lucas and both Fugax and Kreela just stared at Hova not sure how to respond. Hova said goodbye to them and went back to her table to eat. She ate the honeydew and Lucas ate about half of it. Hova then started to feel sick in her stomach from eating too much honeydew in a short amount of time. She decided to take some medicine, so she grabbed a medicine called an Alka Root and a water drop. Hova placed the root in the water drop and it fizzed and dissolved.
"I'm feeling a little sick Lucas, so I'm taking some medicine. Don't try to drink it and things might get a little crazy where your at." Said Hova before she gulped down the medicine.
Lucas heard the swallow and some liquid splashed down into the stomach. At first nothing happened, but then all the liquid in Hova's stomach began to bubble and fizz around Lucas. The experience made Lucas think of a hot tub or a bubble bath. The boy then let a startled cry as the stomach clenched down on him and the rest of the contents sending up a bunch of gas up through Hova's mouth in the form of a belch.
"UUUUURRRRPPP!"
"Praise the Mother." Said an ant at a nearby table.
"Ah much better. You ok Lucas?" Said Hova looking at her abdomen.
"I'm ok. A little grossed out and pretty wet, but I'm fine." Said Lucas.
"Good to hear." Said Hova before leaving the mess hall and went about her day with a full and at ease stomach.
