W: (i show up to my mansion, unaware of what many of my friends have planned for me)
L: Once you turn on the lights, your friends are revealed and happily shout "Happy birthday, Will!"
W: Oh my, you remembered!
L: Blubby: "Yep, no way we'd forget about you!"
Cirrus: "Of course! Hope you've been having a good day so far!"
W: Yeah. But its a lot better now!
L: Lenn: "Nice, glad to hear it!"
Sni-tii: "We've got all sorts of stuff lined up for the party!"
W: (Team Sonic, Bambi, his Parents and Faline were also there. Tails having a food belly)
L: Bambi: "We're gonna have so much fun today!"
Faline: "Some of us apparently couldn't resist helping themselves to some of the huge amount of food we got." She looks over at Tails, whose belly is fairly oversized.
Tails gives an embarrassed laugh as he pats his belly. "Y-yeah, I've been sort of, um... Pregaming, if you couldn't tell."
W: Ha, well its a good thing you got so much food to compensate. So whats first?
L: Sonic: "Well, you're probably pretty hungry, and some of us are too, so how about we stuff ourselves full first?"
Bambi's mom: "Not TOO much, of course, we'll need to be able to move!"
Bambi's dad: "I imagine we'll have a lot left over, so once we're done for today you can have what's left."
W: Sounds good. (While eating) Say Tails, I heard you're working on a new kind of robot
L: Tails, after finishing a mouthful of food: "You heard right! It's gonna be a while until it's done, but I've already decided on a name for it: WALL-E."
W: The same robot in the 2008 movie of the same name?
L: Tails: "Ah, I was wondering if you'd recognize it! Yep, I'm making a real life version of them!"
W: Sweet! *burp* oh, scuse me
L: Eventually, everyone is satisfied with how much they've eaten, and they all have at least a subtly bigger belly than before.
W: Miss Bambi's mom, you look like you got a bun in the oven again. ( he knows that phrase means she looks pregnant)
L: Bambi's mom blushes, but she laughs. "I suppose I do, don't I? It's not often that I eat this much..."
W: Bambi: I think it makes you look cuter.
Faline: i think so too!
L: Bambi's dad nuzzles his wife's belly. "I like it too, reminds me of when we were waiting on Bambi to be born so long ago."
W: Ill bet. So whats next?
L: Cirrus: "We were planning on sinking in mud next! If you're cool with getting your backyard mudpit set up, anyway."
W: (We head to the now enormous backyard which was already a sea of mud)
L: Bambi: "Oh, perfect, it's already muddy!"
Lenn: "Nice, I'm heading in." After setting his wristband so he can feel the effects of drowning but not pass out, he jumps into the mud.
W: Sonic: I'm not really into mud, but like with the food stuffing, I'll do it for my little buddy
L: Tails: "Thanks Sonic, I'm not really sure I'd want to go down there without you..."
Bambi, his parents, Faline, and Blubby all walk into the mud as well. Sni-tii is hesitant at first, but wraps herself around Cirrus as he heads in so she'll easily be able to get back up.
W: (Doorbell) ill get it! (Runs over)
L: Mufasa and Simba are at the door.
Mufasa: "Darn, I was hoping we weren't THIS late. Happy birthday, Will!"
Simba: "Hi Will, happy birthday! We got kind of tied up at the store, had to stay a bit late."
W: Its fine. Come on in, the mud sinking event is about to begin
L: Simba: "Oh, I've always wanted to try that!" He happily heads through to the backyard, Mufasa following him.
W: (I wade in) 2 more guests have arrived
L: Everyone's still above the surface at this point, although Blubby had lowered his head to blow bubbles in the mud, raising it again when you came back.
Blubby: "Oh, there you guys are!"
Mufasa: "Sorry we're late, had an issue at work."
Simba happily jumps into the mud, and Mufasa follows.
W: (Sonic was chest deep watching tails who is up to his nose) Sonic: i get why you love this, but dont expect me to do this with you all the time, okay? Somebody has to keep eggman at bay
L: Tails: "Yeblah, Ibl knblow. Ibl dobln't reblallbly plblan obln mablkinblg abl hablbit oblf thblis anblywably, kiblnd oblf jublst wablnt tblo seble whblat itbl's liblke."
W: Sonic: well if you do make it a habit, ill support you all the way.
L: Tails just nods, not wanting to use up any of his air now that his nose is going under.
W: Sonic:(neck deep. Tickles Tails)
L: Bubbles rise up as Tails starts laughing his air out, and Sonic can feel Tails trying to stop him, though in a playful way.
W: Sonic: keep talking. Who would you like me to tell you about your potential quicksand sinking habit?
L: Tails: "Iblm noblt reblallbly sublre... Evbleryblone Ibl cabln thblink oblf ibls alblreabldy hblere!" Tails' lungs are getting a bit close to empty at this point from the laughing and talking.
W: (Sonic helps Tails get back up for air while submerging himself)
L: Tails gasps once he can. "I think I'm actually starting to enjoy this a little! What do you think of it, Sonic?"
W: Sonic: (thumbs up)
L: Tails: "Ha, don't want to try talking down there? That's fair, you haven't really had the best times with submerging in the past."
W: Sonic: mm-mm. (Pulls Tails under and cuddles with him)
L: "Woah!" Tails gets a quick breath before he's pulled under, and hugs Sonic back once he is.
W: (I see Bambi and Simba are playing together) adorable.
L: Bambi and Simba are frolicking in the mud, happily splashing it at each other and getting covered despite not really sinking.
W: Mr Bambi's dad, if Simba were to accidentally bite Bambi, would you blame him?
L: Bambi's dad: "I'm aware that lion cubs play-bite sometimes, so it wouldn't be that unexpected. I wouldn't be that mad unless it was clearly out of malice, and I don't think that'll happen."
W: (Simba accidentally bites, but no blood vessels were hit and it was very shallow)
L: Bambi: "O-ow, why'd you do that?"
Simba: "S-sorry, I get carried away sometimes when I get really excited..."
Bambi's dad doesn't really look too happy about the bite, but he can tell Bambi's not hurt, so he doesn't mind much.
W: (A while later, i feel a fang bite on my tail) ow! What the? Who did that?! (The fang bite was from Sni-tii, but it was an accident)
L: Sni-tii: "Th-that was me, sorry... Happens sometimes when I'm nervous... I-I don't have venom, don't worry."
W: well, that's reassuring. (after an hour)
L: Bambi's parents, Faline, and Lenn have all let themselves sink and drown, though Bambi has stayed up to hang out with Simba and Mufasa, who can't safely drown like he can. Blubby, Sni-tii, and Cirrus have all gone under, but Cirrus surfaces just before he'd be forced to inhale.
W: (taps Blubby's exposed horns)
L: He's been blowing a lot of bubbles, so they've already got a bit of blue on them when he raises his head to look at you. "What's up?"
W: Could you help Lenn get the three drowned deer out for the next event?
L: Blubby: "Yeah, I think it's about time we moved on from this." After a deep breath, he dips his muzzle under the mud again. "Hbley Leblnn! Wibll wablnts ubls tblo geblt thble debler oublt!" He then pulls himself under the mud, looking for Bambi's parents and Faline.
W: Sonic, Tails, you 2 ok down there?
L: You get a thumbs up from both as they start climbing back to the surface.
W: Sni-tii, Cirrus, come on out. Simba, Bambi, Mufasa, you too
L: Everyone works their way out of the mud, Cirrus and Sni-tii having the easiest time, and Simba, Mufasa and Bambi hadn't gone under. Before too much longer, Blubby and Lenn drag Bambi's parents and Faline out as well, Lenn and the deer coughing up mud.
W: Now i guess its swimming time.
L: Cirrus: "Ha, of course you'd guess that was coming up!"
Sni-tii: "Gotta clean off all the mud, right?"
W: Yep. To the showers
L: Everyone gets all the mud cleaned off, and those that had inhaled some fully recover before too long.
W: I have floatation devives for those who cant swim
L: Sonic, Blubby, and Sni-tii each take one.
Blubby: "It'd probably take more than this to make me float, but I think I'll be able to swim with it at least!"
W: And they should still allow you to go underwater
L: Sni-tii: "Nice! I've never really been able to swim normally before!"
Sonic: "Gonna nice not to have to worry about drowning for once."
W: (We head to the absolutely collosal pool with a ramp up to a few inches of water)
L: Cirrus flies out over the pool to get a better look. "Woah, this is HUGE! I'm actually gonna be able to fit at full size and still have a ton of room!"
W: You have clones number 30 to 50 to thank for that sesign
L: Cirrus dives under, and everyone else comes up the ramp to the pool. Blubby, Sni-tii, and Sonic all smile as they're actually able to keep themselves at the surface.
W: Tails: cannonball! (jumps in curled up in a ball)
L: Tails makes a huge splash, and Bambi happily jumps in the same way, though his splash is a bit smaller.
W: kids, am i right?
L: Bambi stays underwater, swimming down to the bottom to meet up with Cirrus, who's relaxing on the bottom, and lay on their back.
W: (lays back, floating on the surface) this is the life
L: Blubby eventually paddles over to you. "You enjoying the party? I'm not sure anyone's asked you yet."
W: im having a great time!
L: "Glad to hear it! Everyone else seems to be having a good time too!" Just after that, Cirrus surfaces with a gasp, bringing Bambi with him as they'd apparently allowed themselves to drown.
W: (float paddles to Sonic, who is a little nervous but isn't showing) hey. i was just checking on you cuz i know you don't like being in water
L: Sonic looks calm, but you can tell there's a bit of nervousness in his voice. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. I just keep worrying something's gonna happen and I'll end up sinking..."
W: it'll be ok, Cirrus can easily rescue you in seconds. also you can just as easily walk up the ramp to shallower waters
L: "I guess... I'd rather not go under at all, but that's at least okay."
W: And the floaties are airless, so they can't be punctured
L: "Oh, I didn't even realize that! Ha, this whole time I was trying to keep my quills away from it!"
W: Are your quills really that pointy?
L: "Enough that them jabbing into something hard enough would damage whatever that thing is, yep."
W: I better be careful around them then. (Sonic hears Faline gurgling)
L: "You okay there, Faline? ...Oh, right, you've got that thing where drowning can't hurt you."
W: Yeah, somtimes i forget that too
L: "It's such a weird thing... I get that it's genetic, but other than that... It just doesn't make sense."
W: I know, right?
L: "I hope someone can figure out how it works at some point, I REALLY want to be like that."
W: I do have a way. But i dont think you have the blood type needed
L: "Never did find out what mine is, I keep meaning to ask Tails to help me with that..."
W: Well either me or Bambi can give you a small amount of our blood to pick up the safe-drowning gene
L: "...That's all it takes? Really hope I've got the right blood type, then!"
W: Bambi's is B-, mine is A+
L: "Think that gives a fairly good chance of one working with me... Don't know much about how blood types work."
W: i bet Tails knows. (he was underwater but relays the info in the simplest way that Sonic's blood type is the universal donor)
L: Tails, even underwater, happens to be close enough to hear. "Ibl dibld chbleck yoblurs abl whblile bablck, Soblnic, yoblu hblave thble tyblpe thblat cabln ble giblven tblo anbly otblher onble bublt onbly reblceiblve itblselblf."
Sonic: "...Darn. Guess we'll have to find some other way."
W: it may reject the blood itself, but the DNA would remain intact
L: Sonic: "That's probably not gonna feel good, but if it'll keep me from ever drowning, it'll be worth it."
W: ok, do you want a piece of Bambi's DNA or my DNA
L: "Well, I don't want to give you much trouble on your birthday, so Bambi, assuming he's okay with it."
W: Bambi: (surfaces) well, my non-lethal drowning still feels the same and you still go unconscious, which can render you vulnerable. it's safer to use William's. (a drowned but conscious Lenn agrees)
L: Lenn sleepily swims up to just below the surface, giving a thumbs up in agreement before letting himself sink back down.
Sonic: "They're different? I never knew that... Alright, Will, I guess I'll be getting yours then."
W: alright. go sit on the bench at the poolside. a clone of mine will deliver the DNA shot shortly
L: Sonic: "Oh right, it technically doesn't have to be you! Hope getting a wrong blood type in me isn't gonna be too bad..." Sonic paddles over and climbs out of the pool, sitting on the mentioned bench.
W: (a lookalike of me with the number 7 on his torso comes in with a syringe of my DNA)
L: "Alright, here we go..." Sonic holds out an arm, ready for the shot.
W: (he injects, then places a waterproof bandage on the injection site)
L: Sonic rubs his arm a bit. "...I've had worse... Thanks, um... "7"."
W: (he smiles and nods before leaving. Sonic's immune system activates which make him nauseated)
L: "Urgh... Th-there it is..." Sonic holds his stomach, hoping he'll recover before too long.
W: Sonic, i should've told you this earlier, but the pool water has the same oxygen technology as the game show Flood or Fact. (everyone who can't safely drown without perishing was in earshot, even Tails)
Bambi: did you see the one episode i was in?!
L: Blubby, Sni-tii, Cirrus, Simba, Mufasa, and Tails are all surprised to hear the water is safe to inhale. Cirrus, Simba, and Tails all head under to try it out.
Sonic: "W-well, at least everyone else knows now... And yeah, I saw that episode, it was really cool to see someone I know on there!"
W: well the inhabitants at the Labrynth and Hydrocity, to repay the debt of gratitude, are implementing a similar technology that keeps others conscious when drowned to maximise time with thier heroes. i am not kidding!
L: "Man, I haven't thought about those places in ages... Guess I'm gonna be all set to visit them soon, huh?"
W: with or without the new technology, definitely
L: "Speaking of without that... About how long does it usually take for someone to get that anti-drowning ability after the shot?"
W: average is about 15 minutes, but i'd recommend at least half an our just to be safe
L: "Yeah, I'm cool with waiting. Especially since I still feel kind of gross from the shot..."
W: well there are recliners you can nap in
L: "Think I'll chill in one of those for a while. I'll head back in the water once it's been half an hour."
W: if you no longer feel nauseated, the ability is active
L: "Right, good to know." Sonic heads over to relax on a recliner until his new ability is ready.
W: (Bambi joins Cirrus and Tails underwater)
L: Cirrus smiles at Bambi returning underwater, and Tails waves to the deer even as he's straining a little.
W: (Bambi blows as much air as he can force into Tails' lungs)
L: Tails ends up inflating a little from all the air Bambi pushes into him, and he blushes some, but he doesn't mind getting a breath like that.
W: (he goes back up for air and returns)
L: Starting to feel like he's getting an idea of what Bambi is wanting to do, Tails gets closer to the surface so they won't have to go as far on each trip.
W: (Bambi was confused at first, but he understands a few seconds later and gestured Cirrus to hold Tails at the bottom so he can't float up)
L: Cirrus smiles, holding onto Tails' legs so Bambi can easily continue inflating him.
W: (Bambi repeats the procedure a few times before stopping to catch his breath) Bambi: phew. Blubby, i'm tagging you in
L: Blubby: "Oh, I've got this. Hopefully I don't end up popping him." He takes the biggest breath he can, then dives under to Tails and starts exhaling into them, quickly getting them way bigger than Bambi was.
W: (a trail of bubbles leaves Tails' rear end and he looks at Blubby with apologetic eyes)
L: Once that happens, Blubby stops. "Thblink hble's fubll noblw. Anblythbling moblre ibls jublst goblnna coblme oublt thble otblher enbld, Ibl thblink."
W: Tails: (bubbling) i'm doing my best to hold it in. some may leak out, but i'm not full yet
L: Blubby: "Goblt iblt. Ciblrrubls, cabln yoblu hblelp wiblth thblat?"
Cirrus nods and gently squeezes Tails' butt to help prevent more leaking, while Blubby heads back to refill at the surface.
W: (a silhouette of a humanoid echidna was approaching from above. Sonic knows who it is)
L: Sonic looks up at them and smiles, calling out to them. "Hey, Knuckles! What's up?"
W: Knuckles: i was looking around and noticed a party going on and thought i'd join in since i didn't have anything to do tonight
L: "I'd be cool with you sticking around. This party's for that guy's birthday, by the way!" Sonic gestures at you.
W: (i wave at Knuckles cheerfully)
L: Sonic: "Oh, have you met him, Will?"
W: i heard of him, but never actually met him
L: "Ah, Tails must have told you about him then, I don't remember talking about Knuckles with you."
W: he did. it's nice to meet you, Knuckles
L: Knuckles shakes your hand. "Good to meet you too, and happy birthday!"
W: thanks. (Sonic no longer feels nauseated)
L: Sonic feels his stomach. "I think I'm ready, I don't feel gross any more..."
W: (as Sonic dives underwater, he sees Tails inflated by Blubby and held by Cirrus)
L: Sonic: "Whblat arble yoblu gublys ublp tblo ovbler thblere?"
Cirrus: "Bablmbi thblougblht itbl'd ble fubln tblo inblflablte Tablils, sblo wble arble. Anbld hble's riblght, iblt ibls fubln!"
W: (eventually Tails' belly makes him look like sphere with his hands and feet sinking into it as he keeps getting inflated) Tails: mmm...
L: Blubby swims away from him a bit to get a better look at his work. "Thblink thblat'lbl dblo foblr noblw."
W: (Sonic finds Tails' new spherical shape funny)
L: Sonic lets out a bubbly laugh as he awkwardly swims to Tails, poking at their inflated body. "Blblubbly reblallbly dibld abl nublmbeblr obln yoblu, hbluh?"
W: Tails: (nods. bubbles) i can still hold more.
L: Blubby: "Thblen I'lbl reblfilbl anbld geblt bablck tblo woblrk!" He swims back up to the surface to get even more air.
W: Tails: (bubbles) you under here to try your new ability?
L: Sonic: "Yeblah, stblill abl liblttlble neblrvoblus thblougblh... Sblo, noblt gobling bablck ublp unbltil Ibl brbleatblhe."
W: (distant) forgot to give you this. (tosses a drown toggler that sinks next to Sonic)
L: Sonic grabs the toggler. "Oblh, thblis ibls thblat thbling Leblnn hblas... Mably abls webll keblep iblt." Sonic puts it on.
W: i have it too. it's just hidden by my fur. (Sonic is now just about out of air)
L: "Gbl-gubless itbl's tiblme... Oblh bobly..." Sonic opens his mouth, trying to will himself to breathe.
W: (Bambi holds Sonic to keep him from swimming back up)
L: Seeing that other with this ability are doing fine, Sonic finally convinces himself to inhale the water. And, sure enough, he feels fine! "Itbl's woblrkiblng! Ibl cabln't drblown!"
W: (with no air in his lungs, Sonic is now able to speak flawlessly)
L: After having bubbled out the last of his air, Sonic breathes in more water and is able to talk clearly. "This is great! I finally don't have to worry about water any more!"
W: Tails: (smiles, having never seen Sonic genuinely happy in water. if he was at the surface, tears would be seen streaming from his eyes)
L: Sonic still can't swim well, but he hugs you. "Thanks so much for this!"
W: anytime. oh, and if you want to feel drowning, just turn the toggler on
L: "Yeah, no thanks. I've been through that enough times already."
W: yikes, i'm sorry to hear that
L: "Could've been worse, at least I'm still alive."
W: true. (looks at the time) Cirrus, Sonic, Knuckles, Blubby and Mufasa. get the drowned guys out. it's time for games.
Tails: (head fully sunken in)
L: Everyone still conscious hauls the drowned people out so they can recover. Tails is pushed up onto the side of the pool and rolled as if he were a ball, which he essentially is from being so inflated.
W: (once everyone recovers) it's time for games. any suggestions? (Tails suddenly begins releasing all the gas he was inflated with)
L: Relaxing a bit, Tails starts letting out all the air in him from both his front and rear, gradually returning to his normal size over time. Once he's at his normal size, he blushes. "E-excuse me."
W: (Sonic chuckles) i didn't know you liked being inflated, much less to enormous proportions.
L: Tails: "Neither did I! Just felt weirdly good to get that big, with all the pressure inside me."
W: what games should we play?
L: Sni-tii: "I've always wanted to try out Truth or Dare, can we do that?"
W: Sure we can.
L: Sni-tii: "Will, you should go first, since it's your birthday."
W: Ok. Blubby, truth or dare?
L: "Um... Truth." He's clearly a bit nervous about what you might ask.
W: Is it true that you don't remember much from when you were young?
L: "Yeah, it is. I only really remember stuff from sometime after I turned... 6, I think. Apparently that's normal, at least."
W: All right, it's now your turn. Whoever someone chooses is the one who goes next
L: "Makes sense. How about... Bambi, truth or dare?"
W: Bambi: umm, truth
L: "How did you first discover that you can't be hurt from drowning?"
W: (He tells the story of Quicksand Date)
L: "You intentionally drowned without knowing you'd be fine? Maybe you somehow knew subconsciously, I suppose..."
W: Bambi: lets just say i overestimated my breath-holding capabilities that day
L: "Ah, okay, you just went too deep. Fair, I've done that before..."
W: Bambi: ok. Tails! Truth or dare?
L: Tails: "I'm going dare on this one!"
W: Bambi: i dare you to drink a random potion from William's stock
L: Tails looks at you. "Oh, I didn't know you had potions! Where are they at?"
W: (#3 comes in with a potion in a bottle that looks like a fat guy)
L: "I bet I know what this is gonna do..." Tails takes the potion and drinks it with only a little hesitation.
W: (Tails fattens to an immobile blob of fat)
L: After a moment, Tails barely gets his face uncovered so he can talk. "Thought so, but I didn't think it'd be this much! Not that I really mind..."
W: Bambi: (giggles) your turn
L: "Right, yeah, good thing I can still talk. Faline, truth or dare?"
W: Faline: uhh, dare!
L: "Alright, if this is something you can even do: I dare you to inhale water and hold it in!"
W: Faline: piece of cake. (goes and forcefully gasps, holding it in despite her burning lungs)
L: "Now that's some great willpower, wow!"
W: (she raises her head and quickly goes into a hacking fit. when she recovers) Faline: ta-dah!
L: "I'd clap if I could move, that was really impressive!"
W: Faline: thanks. *ahem* ok, Sni-tii, truth or dare
L: "I'd go for dare, but we haven't had someone pick truth in a bit, so I'm gonna do truth."
W: Faline: is it true that you always wanted to sleep underwater?
L: "It is. Blubby told me he does it pretty often, and that he always feels especially well-rested after, so I've always wanted to try it. But no matter how comfortable I get, I just can't fall asleep like that."
W: Faline: i can see that. your turn
L: "Alright... Sonic, truth or dare?"
W: Sonic: dare
L: "I dare you to drink enough water that you can't move because of how big it gets you!"
W: Sonic: seems easy enough. (with help, Sonic becomes an immobile water balloon)
L: Sni-tii: "Wow, I wasn't really sure you'd be able to hold enough!"
Tails: "Ha, cool! I'm not the only one that can't move now!"
W: Sonic: ok, Lenn, truth or dare?
L: "I'm doing a dare."
W: Sonic: i dare you to have a hose put in your blowhole and be pumped full of air
L: "I don't think I've ever been inflated before, I bet this'll be fun! Someone pass me an air hose, let's do this."
W: (I attach the hose to an air compresser and stick the end in Lenn's blowhole) ready?
L: "N-not really the biggest fan of having something in my blowhole, e-even if it doesn't affect much... Go ahead."
W: (turns on the compresser)
L: Lenn feels strange at first as air quickly fills his lungs without him inhaling, then expands him out as it starts filling his belly instead. It doesn't hurt, and feels at least a bit less strange.
W: (Lenn continues to inflate)
L: Soon enough, Lenn isn't able to stand any more, laying on top of his belly that's continuing to expand.
W: Sonic: i think that's good enough
L: Lenn reaches up and pulls the hose out of his blowhole, sighing in relief of not having something in there any more. "Man, I'm like an air mattress now..." He pats his huge belly.
W: ok Lenn, your turn
L: "Alright, Will, truth or dare?"
W: truth
L: "Is there anyone you're in love with? You don't have to say who if you don't want to."
W: well, Diane Foxington is my current crush. i don't yet have the courage to confess my feelings
L: "Oh, nice! I hope you manage it someday!"
W: me too. alright, miss Bambi's mom, what'll it be, truth or dare?
L: "I'll go with truth."
W: what was the fattest you ever got?
Knuckles: this should be interesting.
L: Bambi's mom blushes. "Oh boy... W-well, when I first discovered that being really fat was harmless for me, I sort of went overboard on it. I think I was at least TRIPLE the size Tails is right now!"
W: i wish i could've seen that
L: "I never really intended on doing it again, but I could for you sometime."
W: maybe. your turn
L: "Okay... Knuckles, truth or dare?"
W: Knuckles: truth
L: "Um... I'm not good at this... What's... Your favorite color, I guess."
W: Knuckles: red.
L: "Yeah, that makes sense, you ARE red. Alright, it's your go."
W: Knuckles: Great Prince, what'll it be?
L: "I'll do a dare."
W: Knuckles: i dare you to do a dive from the highest diving board
L: "Simple enough. How high is that, Will?" He starts heading over to the diving boards.
W: 35 feet
L: Actually noticing how high the diving board is gives him pause. "...That'll be fine. I've handled more intimidating things than this..." He starts climbing up to the board.
W: (Knuckles watches)
L: The Great Prince gets to the board, clearly a bit nervous. "...I-it wouldn't be here if it wasn't safe..." Closing his eyes, he jumps from the board and holds his breath, making a huge splash in the water.
W: (the water was deep enough to slow the fall after the entry, and then some)
L: While he's a little worried at first that he's going to hit the bottom, he smiles as he ends up not even getting close to it, and swims back up. When he surfaces, he starts swimming over to an edge to climb out, calling out "Alright, done!"
W: Knuckles: that was cool! you know the drill
L: The Great Prince rejoins the group. "Right... Simba, truth or dare?"
W: Simba: (confident voice) dare!
L: "I dare you to swim laps underwater until you can't hold your breath any more."
W: Simba: dad, stand by in case i start drowning.
L: Mufasa: "Will did say earlier that this water is safe to drown in, but if you can't swim up in time, I'll help you get out."
W: (Simba jumps in and swims laps in the pool, staying close to the surface)
L: Mufasa watches his son swim, ready to help if he needs to.
W: (the longer Simba stayed under, the slower he swam as he focused more effort to holding his breath)
L: Mufasa: "I didn't know he was this good at holding his breath..."
W: (Simba freezes in place as he exhales all air out, then surfaces, gasping hoarsely)
L: "Good work, son! You did better than I expected!"
W: Simba: thanks dad. (climbs out soaking wet) alright miss Bambi's mom, you know the drill
L: "Okay, um... I'll go with a dare this time."
W: Simba: oh crud, i hadn't prepared. umm, i dare you to, uhh, binge eat until you are as big as, hmm... him. (points to Blubby)
L: "That'll be fine, he's not all that big. We've still got a ton of left over food, too!"
W: Simba: here's the catch, you can't take breaks to vent gas
(Mufasa was impressed)
L: "...Okay, that shouldn't be an issue. Will, could you have some of your clones bring in some food?"
W: (clones proceed to stuff Bambi's mom until she's Blubby's length from snout to tail tip)
L: After she's done all the eating, she laughs a little. "It's b-been a long time s-since I was this big..." She squirms in discomfort as she tries to hold in her gas.
W: Simba: (yawns) you can let it out now. (Tails and Bambi are both fast asleep)
L: "Th-thank y-" Her expression of gratitude is cut off by a huge, long burp. "...Excuse me."
W: uh, the kids are tired, i think it's time we turn it in for the night. i have plenty of guestrooms. Mufasa and Great Prince, get Sonic and Tails into the same room. Cirrus and Blubby, you 2 help Bambi's mom. i'll take Simba. goodnight everyone
L: Everyone still awake: "Goodnight, Will!" Everybody does as you'd asked, finding themselves some guest rooms to sleep in.
W: (after setting Simba in Mufasa's room, i head to the cellar and treat myself to alcohol for the first time, knowing full well i'm gonna overdo it)
