Chapter 1 
                         Sleep Over

It was the middle of summer and the young shark had just had his 8th birthday. Vex was a vibrant green shark boy with a light green chubby belly and sharp dark green hair. A main that started as a Mohawk and traveled down the length of his back onto his big shark tail. The boy was proudly wearing a mighty man t-shirt and blue shorts. He'd gotten the shirt as a gift during the party, he liked it so much he changed into it on the spot. Most of the other cubs invited had already left Vex's mother, making him choose between just a handful to actually stay the night. If Vex had gotten his way, the house would still have 20 or so boys of various ages running about.

Instead, it was just Vex and his three other close friends. They all lived nearby in the same neighborhood, in fact, it was a big part of the reason they were all good friends. None of the boys were allowed to walk past the end of the neighborhood on their own yet, so they all sort of just spent all day playing together. The first and oldest of the group was Raijin. He was a tanuki 10 years old, as he'd often remind the rest of the group whenever there was an argument. A little on the rotund size but nothing absurd for his age.

He looked for the most part like a normal tanuki. Some of his interesting features were the way his fingers turned to tan fur on his hand, making it look almost like he was wearing fingerless gloves, or his striking bright purple eyes. The tanuki could typically be found wearing big baggy clothes, anything comfy. Though the most comfortable thing at the moment was a pair of boxers as he leaned back in his chair.

Next to him was Demaku a boy a year younger than Vex. A small purple wolf boy with a thin build. He had lighter purple fur around his lower belly, muzzle, and paws. The boy also shared a purple eye color with Raijin, but also had one of his eyes a blood-red. It was rare to see him without his shirt on, he didn't like the attention, but when you did catch him without one you'd see the large red pentagram on his chest. Demaku was more than a wolf, he was a half demon. A rare sight to be certain, but it came with a few more odd traits than that. His tail had a maw of its own, and Demaku would occasionally catch it eating things like dog food or small animals.

He says he can't taste what it eats, but he can feel it once his tail starts swallowing it into him. He wore a loose fitting t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Last of the bunch was Choko the most recent addition to the friend's little group as well as the youngest member. Choko was a shark like Vex except with a brown color scheme. Choko is only 5 years old at this point, his birthday being just a few months ago. The boys only started playing with him after his parents became friends with the boys parents and set up a play date because he was lonely.

At first, it felt a little weird having someone so young hanging around but with very few years difference in age between them all, they quickly started to bond. A few other defining features were his chubby little tummy, not quite as fat as Vex, but he certainly still had a little of that baby fat look to him. His belly and muzzle was far more of a pale tan look, and he had a huge bit of brown chest pompf. Choko was relaxing back in a pair of brown spotted pajamas.

Vex, lived in a small little house, the smallest on the road, and cramming so many guests into it showed. Vex's parents were still super busy with cleanup hours after the party. Since it was summer and Vex's birthday, and they all lived so close together, the parents agree'd to let his friends stay the night for an entire week straight. It was going to be an amazing adventure this summer, he just knew it.

What he didn't know was just what kind of adventure it would be. Vex's room was on the smaller side he didn't have a bed, instead he'd had what amounted to a large bathtub. He and Choko were going to share that while the other two slept on little roll-out beds. The room had a colorful wall paper with clouds and fun airplanes. The floor was tiled with a drain in it and the shark boy had a TV mounted to the wall with a switch on a shelf under it. Normally, both Vex and Choko would sleep naked in the water but with guests around and sleeping together, the two instead got changed into speedo's.

They both had rather impressive bulges for their ages, Choko's was even a little bigger, if only by about an inch. If a snapshot of their swimsuits were taken on its own, they'd look fully matured. The two boys got cozy in the tank under the water while the other boys got ready for bed. Demaku had to use the restroom in the middle of the night almost every night, and he felt scared walking around an unfamiliar home. So his parents got him a little training potty that could be emptied out in the morning.

Demaku didn't really know where to put it, though, looking around a moment before walking up to Vex's closet. “Mind if I keep the nighttime potty in here?” Demaku had a youthful voice, even for a boy his age. Vex just gave his friend a little thumbs up, and Demaku reached up for the knob, pulling it open before a clack thudded across the room. The door knob coming loose in the boy's grasp and clattering down on the floor.

Demaku just looked at the broken door and started to look as if he was going to cry. Looking around the room with the biggest I didn't mean to look on his face. Vex climbed out of the tub and walked over to Demaku giving him a big hug. “It's fine man, if it broke that easy anyone opening the door would have broken it.” Vex took the knob into his hands, he wasn't exactly talented at repair, but the back of the knob looked broken, so he walked off to find his dad.

Vex's father walked into his room wearing nothing but a towel, just as wet as Vex. He looked to be in his mid 20s, and it was a little uncanny looking at him because he looked like a taller, more muscular Vex. The only big difference being, instead of swirl markings and stripes along his body, he had spots. That and his hyper cock bulge, poorly concealed under his towel. If fully exposed, it'd nearly be Vex's height with his balls sagging low, the size of basketballs. There was a reason Vex was already bigger than most adults at the age of 8 in this regard. Looking over the door for a second, he'd remembered the box of old junk he found behind an antique store earlier in the week. He was a bit of a dumpster diver in his spare time, half the nicest furniture in the house was stuff found in dumpsters given a nice new coat of paint and a clean. Probably why the door knob broke so easily.

He pulled out a big fancy looking crystal door knob and dusted it off a little before cleaning it in the sink. Once it looked in a decent condition, he went to work putting it into the door with his screwdriver. It wasn't an easy fit, but Vex's dad managed to jury-rig it in place. Opening the door and closing it a few times before putting in Demaku's nighttime potty for him. “Alright, if you cubs need anything else, my wife and I will be in our bedroom.”

Once that was all over and done with, everyone finished getting ready for bed. Raijin cheekily pulled off his boxers while he was under his blanket and threw them off to one side. “I won't tell anyone if you guys don't.” Choko took the chance and did the same without a hint of shame. Except he got out of the tub first, then took his swimsuit off and threw it to one side. Vex shrugged and did the same, seems almost everyone enjoyed sleeping nude and wasn't planning to sleep dressed, despite what the folks wanted.

Demaku kept on his pajama's though, getting under the covers. They were comfy, and he wasn't as shameless as everyone else. Plus, they had a little flap at the front, so he could easily go potty during the night. Choko nuzzled up against Vex, keeping his head on Vex's chest and with nothing but a nightlight the room went dark.

Later that night, Raijin felt a little nudge against him. He ignored it at first until it started poking at his cheeks. Demaku was poking at him over and over, doing the little potty dance. Raijin wiped the sleep from his eyes and sat up. The blanket still keeping him decent.

“Oh come on Demaku do you really need someone to walk you to the closet?” Raijin said in an annoyed but hushed voice, since Vex and Choko were still asleep. Though underwater, not much sound could really reach them. “The potty is missing!” Demaku spoke hushed as well but with a sense of urgency, it was a good thing the floor was tiled with a drain.

Raijin sighed and climbed out from under the covers, it wasn't anything Demaku hadn't seen before they'd all went skinny-dipping together a month ago in Choko's backyard pond after all. He was a good bit bigger than Vex flaccid, but he was a grower nearly double Vex's size when hard. Using his dad as a size estimate for how he'll mature, he'll end up a good size bigger than anyone in the bunch. Well maybe not as big as Demaku but only because he's a little wild card, his father being a deadbeat demon and all and no one knowing who he really is.

This didn't stop Demaku from getting all blushy though at the sight. Though the increasing chance he'd piss himself if nothing was done did distract from seeing his friend naked. Raijin opened the door slowly to a strange sight, it looked like something out of galaxy lords. A huge sci-fi space station with what looked like a raging storm of colorful clouds and stars. It was completely deserted from what they could see. Demaku looked shocked now holding his paws to his crotch. “Huh, that's not what I saw before.”

Raijin closed the door and Demaku reached up to open it, gritting his teeth. The door opened to a city at night, arcane runes along the walls like advertisements. Like the Galaxy lord's looking place, it was totally empty. It couldn't be ignored any longer, though, as Demaku's eyes started to tear up a little and realizing what was about to go down, Raijin quickly undid Demaku's flap and brought him over to the floor drain. 

All Demaku could do is pout to himself as he let out a torrent of piss, aimed thankfully well down the drain, so it didn't splatter. His cock was a bit smaller than Vex's making him the smallest of the group, but he was still big enough to put a grown man to shame. It was pretty clear all the boys would end up hyper by high school, at least if not sooner. Raijin turned away and looked back at the strange doorway. Closing it and opening it again, only to see the station he'd seen before.

Without even bothering to get dressed, Raijin would walk over and nudge awake Vex and Choko. Over the course of the night, Choko had managed to get his little head between Vex's legs, and he was nuzzled up against Vex's junk. Though Choko woke up and just shrugged it off, Vex woke up after Choko and didn't even realize the pose he was in. Raijin might normally make fun of them for something like that, but he was a little distracted by the interdimensional door.

First thing they did was show the other two boys the door. Vex had gotten into a Speedo, and Raijin had his boxers on at this point. Choko wasn't the type to get dressed until someone told him too. Vex tried opening the magic door, and behind it looked to be some kind of dense forest. Light shined down, and the floor had a thin layer of water over it. Though it was strange, light didn't bleed out from the door at all. The room was still dark despite the nice sunny day through the doorway.

The other two locations were fairly dark, so they hadn't noticed it till then. Choko curiously closed and opened the door himself. On the other side a throne room, soft looking red carpets and wooden walls. Choko being the curious sort did something none of the boys had done so far, reached out to the door frame.

It looked like he was pushing his hand past a thin plastic film. Vex grabbed his hand to stop him, but it was too late, his little hand popped through the plastic film and a large hand grabbed him from the other side. Choko started to panic trying to pull himself free and Vex pulled as well. The hand looked strong and had large black scales that'd fit at home with any dragon. Choko grabbed onto the only thing within reach to try to root himself, the door knob. This only sealed his fate as the hand then actually started to pull without thinking, Vex stepped back on reflex as the door started to slam shut.

Without thinking at all, Vex threw the door back open and rushed inside, the other boys trying to stop Vex but losing their footing on the wet tile floor slip inside as well. They all get about a second to process what they just did as they press against the plastic like film before tarring through to the other side. Falling into the muddy forest floor. It's disorientating, Vex finds it hard to stay awake after crossing the threshold. Raijin is the first to flop onto his back in the inch deep mud.

Demaku lands face first, but Vex keeps himself awake long enough to flip him over. Darkness straddles the edges of his vision as he falls backwards. Eyes stared up at the sky tree's stretching well above him with leaves the color of twilight. It's so bright, the world blur's as shadowy figures creep into Vex's vision and everything goes black.
