Df fanfic viginette: a sweet victory

Chapter 1 - A Sweet Victory

It was another succesful(if long) Mogloween for the Cauldron Sisters. The day was saved by (DF HERO), the people of lore trick-or-treated to their hearts content, and the Maskmaker sold as many masks as ever. But there still was one Gorrilaphant in the room that needed to be addressed.

"Um, I don't mean to rain on your parade,..." Bubble sheepishly stated. "But what do you want to do with this leftover candy?"

Toil and Trouble paused for a moment, and looked at the massive mound of candy that they prepared. Due to all of the commotion that year, they weren't able to sell nearly as much candy as they prepared.

"Oh..." Trouble muttered in dismay. "I was worried this would happen."

"Okay Myx, any ideas for how to get rid of all this?" asked Toil.

"Hmm....." Myx pondered for a bit. He honestly had no idea what to say. He knew it'd be a bad idea to dump it in Doomwood, and the Void wasn't a much better option considering how much trouble it'd be to open a portal to it.

"Maybe we keep it?" Myx finally proposed. "After all, you girls have worked yourself to the bone this year. It'd be a shame to waste it."

"That's... actually a pretty good idea Myx" added Trouble. Admittedly, she had worked up quite the appetite from this year's kerfuffle, so she was more than happy to have something to snack on.

"You say that like it's a surprise..." Myx muttered to himself "I have good ideas sometimes."

"Hold on a sec!" Toil asserted loudly. "How are we going to keep it from spoiling? There's no-"

But before she could finish, her stomach let out a loud rumble, almost as if it wasn't gonna hear any mention of throwing away the mound of leftover candy.

"Hehe, you were saying Toil?" Trouble teased.

"Oh hush, you!" exclaimed Toil, embarrassed by her tummy's outburst. "You know full well that it'll spoil before we can eat it all!"

But while Toil was talking, another loud roar from a hungry belly could be heard. It belonged to Trouble, who began to eye the candy hungrily.

"Um, Trouble?" Bubble and Toil asked worryingly.

Before they could say anything else, Trouble took one of the candies and popped it into her mouth. The taste captivated her in a way that no other batch had before. Before she knew it she started shoving piece after piece of it into her mouth.

As Bubble looked on in horror and confusion, Toil's mind started to wander. Trouble was usually the last to snack on the candy after Mogloween was over. Was it really that good?

Soon enough, her stomach started rumbling even louder than before. "I guess one small piece wouldn't hurt." Toil thought to herself.

As she put the piece in her mouth, she began to feel the same flavor sensation as her sister. How was this candy so good? Without hesitation, she crammed two huge handfuls of the delicious concoction in her mouth.

As Myx and Bubble watched the two of them mindlessly gorging themselves on the mound of sweets, they wondered whether they should say something. Instead, they both decided to leave and let the scene unfold. "After all," they both thought. "they must've been REALLY hungry!"

After a good few hours of Toil and Trouble shoveling pound after pound of the sweet mound into their gullets, their efforts finally made all of the candy disappear. The two of them slid to the ground with a moan

"Uggh, why did we think that was a good idea?" Toil groaned loudly. The other thing that groaned loudly and constantly was her distended belly, jutting in front of her like a balloon. She was so full she felt like the candy was in her lungs!

"You're assuming we were thinking at all" Trouble chuckled, before clenching her overstuffed belly. As delicious as the candy was, she was sincerely glad that there wasn't anymore, as she felt like her gut would likely pop if she had even one more piece!

As the two sisters huffed and puffed from how engorged they both were, they both shared a look, and the same thought occurred to them both.

"Maybe this year's batch was too big."
