A small dust trail drifted in the wind by the time a streaking blue blur came skidding to a stop at the edge of a forest, a few feet away from a small burrow hole in the ground. Sonic wiped his brow and let out a sigh catching his breath before looking around, smiling to himself as he pulled a note out to double check it. "First one here, nice!" He announced to himself while scanning the invitation that had been sent to him, for a race between himself Shadow and Silver to see who could process the fastest. Sonic wasn't sure what it meant by 'process' but if there was a race to be had he was definitely going to be there! The blue hedgehog looked around; this was the place the note said to come to but he didn't see anyone else yet. Was he so early that he'd arrived before even the race organizers did?

At the sound of the screeching halt coming from outside, a pair of brown ears poked out from the burrow hole followed by bright predatory eyes. When their gaze fell on the hedgehog the eyes went wide as plates and twinkled in excitement. In a flurry of fur a fox pounced out of the burrow and towards Sonic, landing in a surprising embrace against his back and nuzzled into the quills while hugging him as tight as he could. "Sonic! You're actually here! I can't believe it!" The fox squealed in sheer delight, finally easing back enough for the hedgehog to turn and face him.

Sonic yelped out in surprise when he felt a soft fluffy body collide against his back, but once the shock wore off he felt a showering of affection and couldn't help but chuckle in amusement. He knew unrestrained fanboyism when he saw it! Once the vice grip against him was released he turned about to see the critter, a pudgy brown and mocha furred fox, and returned the over eager grin with a bemused smile. "Yup, that's me! And who might you be? You part of the race?" He questioned, holding out the invite by way of explanation.

The fox nearly squeed at Sonics voice as he greeted him back. His eyes flicked away from the blue hedgehog for only a second to peer at the note he displayed, going back to gazing adoringly at Sonic while he nodded in confirmation. "I'm Tumble! I'm your biggest fan! Or at least... your fan with the biggest appetite!" He answered introducing himself informally, and chuckled at the addendum while licking his lips. The wide eyed adoration sharpened with predatory intent, and he reached out to grip Sonic by the shoulders and tug him closer once more. "And yeah, I sent out the race invites! I figured you'd get here first heehee. Well we can go ahead and get started now then!"

Sonic smirked at the declaration of foxy fanhood, about to say how it was nice to meet you Tumble only to gasp unexpectedly as he was pulled closer to the other boy. A tint of red on his cheeks at the proximity, Sonic listened to the explanation about the race and then gently pushed back against Tumbles' tummy while looking up to meet his eyes. "Uhh how would we get started if the other guys aren't here yet, Tumble? Um, cute name by the way." He questioned, then complimented, hoping to take advantage of the fluster that would surely cause.

Just as expected the foxes eyes nearly wetted and he let out a sharp gasp as Sonic called his name cute, his hands releasing Sonic and pressing to his cheeks as he restrained a squeal which sent quivers through his entire body, conspicuously making his belly wobble before Sonic's eyes. "Eee! O-oh umm it's not a run around the forest kind of race, it's more of a time attack kind of thing." He explained after recollecting himself, taking the note Sonic had and pointing to where it said 'process the fastest.'  "I'm gonna eat each of you and keep track of who takes the longest to digest into my fat! Whoever gets themselves onto my belly chub fastest wins. I have a stop watch and everything!" He finally clarified, grinning with exaggerated pride at the explanation.

Sonic dusted himself off once he was released and listened to the foxes answer with a blank explanation. "So we're racing to see who digests the fastest? And whoever gets turned into pudge by your belly in the quickest time wins?" He asked to clarify making sure he understood.  Once Tumble nodded in return, Sonic chuckled through a smile and stepped up to pat the foxes belly encouragingly watching it jiggle under the stimulation. "Sounds like a fun time! So want to give Shadow and Silver a time to beat before they even show up huh? Sounds good to me, lets get started!"

Tumble grinned wide as Sonic's enthusiasm, giggling at the belly pats and throwing himself against the hedgehog once again hugging him fully and even nuzzling against his cheek. This was a bit of a dream come true for the fox! Without another word he held Sonic by the shoulders and reared up before him, giving a lick to his lips before opening his maw wide before his eyes. The predators tongue lulled out like a welcome mat which licked under Sonic's tongue, drawing his head into the deep abyss of gluttony until his peripheral vision was taken up by the inside of fox cheeks. All at once the mouth glomphed shut around his head, the foxes lips wrapping around Sonic's shoulders while his hands ran down his sides gripping him lower to start feeding him in. The fox wasn't wasting any time, but he was taking all the time he did have to run his tongue across every inch of hedgehog flesh that filled his mouth, and suckled at his body as it disappeared behind his lips enjoying his fast food to the fullest.

With the intense organic warmth of fox insides engulfing around him Sonic simply smiled into the dark flesh tube of throat as he was fed into it, enjoying the feeling of being quickly devoured. He felt his feet leave the ground and the predators hands gripping his hips to shovel him rapidly away, his legs weakly kicking as gravity reoriented from the fox tilting his head back and his body began to flow like he was going down a waterslide! Even as his body was reduced to a bulge down Tumble's throat, he felt the foxes tongue licking at his curves as he went along, the hedgehog weakly wiggling to help spread his flavor in his predators mouth while he  felt the grip of gullet clenching around more and more of his body. He felt Tumble's lips around his ankles and bit his lip to restrain a groan as his head was pressed onto the precipice of sliding into the foxes belly below.

As the boot clad feet passed behind Tumble's lips the footwear peeled off from Sonic's ankles and down to his heel until they finally dropped away entirely and landed in front of the fox with a thud. Quickly and excitedly Tumble wrapped his mouth around his meals feet and gave them one final licking over before a final definitive gulp sent the entire hedgehog into his body completely. Sonic spilled into the waiting stomach nearly all at once, the organ stretching around his body while he slipped against the slimy inner walls and was forced to fold in on himself to fit inside the snug space. Stomach walls rumbled and surged with activity as oh so much blue furred meat filled it, a churning of movement manhandled Sonic around pushing him into a disorienting flurry of gastric movement until finally the fleshy sack settled with the hedgehog eased into a comfortable position! Sonic was happy to submit to it all letting the stomach have its way with him until he could relax back into the slope of the stomachs confines, sighing out amidst the rumbling shake of a rush of gastric fumes rushing back up the way he came in.

Tumble released a crass wet belch as his hedgehog meal was positioned inside, followed by a groan of sheer delight with his eyes rolling back and tongue dripping out the side of his mouth. Visible steam puffed from his lips as he panted, and rubbed his hands across the bulging dome of his stomach feeling at the presence inside. "S-soooo gooooood!" He purred aloud, feeling a rub from inside his stomach as Sonic chuckled at the expressed enjoyment. Looking down at his stomach with a blush on his cheeks, Tumble appraised the lump Sonic made inside of him, tracing fingers across the bulge feeling at the outline he made beneath layers of chub. "I've been such a fan of you for my whole life Sonic, getting to eat you up is a dream come true~! You tasted even better than I ever imagined!" He praised while wrapping his arms around his gut hugging the belly confined hedgehog tight and cooing happily. Once he released the embrace he sighed and pulled out a stop watch, smiling while rubbing over his gut getting ready to start the timer once digestion kicked in.

Hearing his predators utter joy at having him for a meal brought a faint blush to his cheeks as he smiled through the gut hug, chuckling encouragingly against the inner walls while the imprints pressed around him. The fox was being so earnest and star struck that it was adorable, Sonic really didn't mind digesting into pudge on his body in order to give him a good time! The excuse of being able to do so comparatively helped of course, and once he felt the belly gurgle around him feeling like it was revving up like a car engine he grinned and braced his arms and legs out at the slippery walls around him. "Time to kick things off it sounds like! Alright here I go, gonna go for a world record if I can hehe!" He announced, his voice muffled from inside the stomach and drowned out by churning gurgling sounds ringing out from every direction. Soon a thick green colored fluid started oozing from the walls and dripped onto Sonic, quickly soaking his quills down to his flesh until he was soggy from head to toe and the excess juices accumulated in a puddle at the basin of the stomach. "Here I go..." He muttered, panting from the atmosphere of digestion and began to feel the cramped walls of the stomach closing in tighter and tighter around him.

The outline Sonic made of his body curled up inside the stomach began to get less distinct and visible as the belly filled up with juices, the viscous sticky syrup of gastric fluids obscuring his body and causing the bulge to get more rounded and squishy over time. While the gut filled up the stomach walls also compressed tighter and tighter against Sonic's body, the space being filled up with digestive fluids also becoming a much smaller space over time so by the belly was filled up halfway Sonic was being clenched over to the point that he was forced into a ball like he was about to spindash. The bundle of hedgehog was curled up as tight as he could get, shuddering from head to toe at the stimulation of the organic walls grinding against his body, feeling it squeeze  deeper than it was able to before thanks to the soak of the stomach juices making his body feel softer. He felt like carrots boiling in a pot, or spaghetti marinating in broth, his body getting nice and spongy under the soggy hot tub of stomach while it churned him up like the healthy meal of meat that he was.

Finally with a final compression and dunking splash, Sonic felt the belly juices rise up above his head and a second later the trembling clenching of the stomach broke through some final barrier of pressure and closed in on itself with a snap, the organic gastric walls touching ends and leaving not a single inch of space to be occupied by belly fluids or hedgehog meat. With nowhere else to go Sonic drained out the bottom of the stomach and pumped through a short winding pipe of intestines that sent him into a dizzy until everything came to rest in a sudden bounce and wobbling slowly to a rest once the momentum wore off. Sonic's eyes swirled for a few seconds until he managed to come back to focus, getting a sense of where he was, barely able to look around or move much on his own but still getting a distinct sense of his surroundings. From every direction was a skin tight wall of pink flesh that pressed against his body holding him in place without a single bit of open space, it was like he was in a vacuum sealed bubble of pure organic padding that held him in place with a spread eagle position that let the walls nestle in every nook of his body without even allowing him to feel himself. Unable to fold his legs together or even bend his arms at the elbow, the only sensation across every inch of his body was pure snug soft squish. As he adjusted to the confines the feeling of a hand pressing through a skintight layer of flesh rubbed across his body, sending shivers up and down his spine feeling just as distinct and yet so much more sensitive as when Tumble had embraced him from the outside. A tired smile settled on the hedgehogs face and he sighed contentedly, relaxing into the snug embrace of fox pudge.

Tumble swooned aloud all through the digestive process until he let out a heavy belch as his stomach emptied, his thumb clicking on the stop watch to call time just as he felt his gut flatten to its regular shape and at the same time bounced from the extra addition of fresh padding adding onto it. It took a few moments to recover from the predgasm of his meal completing its digestion for Tumble to peek down at the stopwatch in hand, looking at the time even as his palm was trembling. He grinned as he saw the results and pulled out a marker, writing onto his belly fur Sonic's name and the time the stopwatch reflected down to the last millisecond. Once he capped the pen he rubbed his hands lovingly over his belly, feeling the fresh layer of fat Sonic amounted to under the top layer of fur, and he moaned unrestrained at the sensation of sensitive new pudge being kneaded over. "That's an impressive gurgle time, Sonic! Definitely faster than any other meal I've ever had. We'll see if it'll be faster than the other two once I eat them up." He announced, feeling a slight ripple across his belly as Sonic reacted to the news. The fox chuckled and gave his belly a pat, sighing as he was still drifting on the afterglow of digesting his childhood hero. Content to ride the high of it through to until one of the remaining two planned meals of the day showed up for their own turn...
