A short story I wrote during my Short Story Saturday stream I did alongside  RockyTheProcy's Free Sketch Friday stream (4/2/16). This story was won by  fatthoron2, who wanted to see Toothless get inflated. So, uhh, Toothless gets inflated. That's the story.

The Mighty Bloatfury

It had been another successful exploration mission, with a new island added to young Hiccup’s ever expansive map. There hadn’t been too many sights to be found, but, it did have a rather nice beach that you could rest upon, however long you wanted to when it wasn’t exactly swimming weather. While the young human was busy writing away, his dragon, Toothless, was amusing itself on the beach, lazing about happily as its smooth scales rubbed up against the fine sand. “And that’s done” Hiccup happily declared, holding up his addendumed map.

Toothless nodded thoughtfully, but it then went right back to lazing about on the sand. His rider chuckled while shaking his head. “Well, at least one of us is interested in the map” he shrugged, rolling it back up. Looking about, there was an interesting looking cave nearby, and he considered asking the lazy dragon, but something told him that Toothless would rather be enjoying the sand. “Alright, I’m going to go explore the cave, so you relax here until then. Just don’t go flying off, and don’t eat anything weird, okay?” he said to his dragon.

Toothless nodded, its eyes casually telling his rider that he was going to be a good little dragon. Satisfied, Hiccup held up a wooden stick that the dragon lit up like it was nothing, illuminating his path into the dark cave. With the rider gone, Toothless was finally able to relax with its soft underbelly pressed to the lovely cool sand. Yeah, this was a nice spot, and nothing was about to make him move from this spot. SPLASH! Opening one eye, the dragon spotted a flapping something on the shore. Now, while he wanted to rest up, a quick snack wouldn’t hurt one bit. Stalking the flipping object, the Nightfury came to find it a strange and spiky looking fish. Poking at it cautiously, it inflated suddenly, turning into a big spiky ball. Reeling back in surprise, Toothless approached it again, poking at the round fish. His claw sank into the inflated fish, and its quills bent around the claw. It seemed that this was just some kind of intimidation tactic, and that the fish was both harmless, and seemed perfectly fine to eat. Shrugging, the Nightfury snapped up the round fish, swallowing it whole. It went down without issue, and it filled a hole. Belching weakly, Toothless smacked its lips, hoping for some more round fish. Sadly, there weren’t any around, much to his disappointment. Going back to his cool spot, the dragon felt… odd. Its steps seemed more airy than usual, as if it was floating. Pausing, Toothless could almost make out a muted hissing noise, like an angry snake. Looking about for the sound, it sounded near, but he couldn’t see a source. CCCCRRRRREEEEEAAAAAKKKKK!!!

Eyes wide, Toothless looked under its bulk, only to see it looking back at him. His smooth black belly scales were moderately distended in its stomach region. The dragon crooned in confusion, not able to really understand what was going on. Dropping to the ground, the force in its belly pushed back, balancing him perfectly on his bloated middle. In fact, it did more than balance him, it raised him up as pressure suddenly became apparent in its innards. Groaning loudly, the dragon tried to press its underside as hard as it could against the sand, to relieve the pressure. But whatever was inside him proved stubborn as its legs just couldn’t force its inflating bulk back down. Yowling like a wounded cat, Toothless flapped its wings, trying to use the additional push to force the pressure out. It was fruitless, as the internal force was too strong as his scales creaked and groaned loudly from the pressure beneath it. Rolling about onto its back, the dragon’s body felt so full, like after eating too much fish, but at the same times, also lighter. Something was inflating him, and that something was gas.

Rolling about, the dragon couldn’t do a single thing to stop its inflation, nor could it relieve itself of the pressure inflating its internal organs. There was too much pressure from the gas, and he just couldn’t shift it as his rounding stomach exceeded the length of its own legs. Grunting in surprise, Toothless rolled back onto its front, only to get beached by its ballooning stomach. Struggling hard, its legs only barely scraped the sand, but it couldn’t get a good enough grip to do anything about his situation. Toothless was stuck, listening to the much louder hissing noise and the continual creaking of its scales, and the groaning of its inflated organs. Now no longer satisfied with just its stomach, the rapid inflation moved down the Nightfury’s tail, and up its neck, widening them out just like its middle. The poor dragon was completely helpless as it swelled rounder and rounder, its dorsal spines popping out from the internal pressure as it was subjected to a small amount of inflation in its back. Its cheeks bulged with air, but it couldn’t relieve any of it. It could only lie there, helpless and inflating as its legs ballooned, growing too thick to even bend to the point that they could only jut out of its body, before slowly sinking into its expanding bulk.

Now in the same relative shape as a football, Toothless’ expansive bulk slowly consumed its limbs into the mass, its helpless claws wiggling about uselessly while the top of its back and its underbelly pushed hard against its head. The pressure, it was far too intense for him, and he felt like he was going to burst. There was something hot inside of him, and it was only getting hotter by the second. The dragon was afraid that its scales were about the burst to release all the pent up gas. Thankfully, something else burst first. Belching loudly, a rocket of flame burst forth from its mouth, sliding it straight down the beach, and into the nearest rock wall. Forced against it, Toothless’ entire body deflated swiftly, all of the internal gas burning away in a stream of pure plasma. His tank took a remarkable thirty seconds to burn off; but by the end, the Nightfury was back to normal, and not that worse for wear. Shaking its head in surprise, Toothless chuckled loudly. That had been actually kinda fun, really, but too bad that- SPLAT!

Looking down the beach, another of those weird round fishes had beached itself. Thumping over to it, the dragon grinned, an amusing idea crossing its mind as it grabbed the round fish.

“Alright Toothless, there wasn’t much in the cave, so you didn’t really miss mu- What the?”

Hiccup’s report was ended prematurely, due to the strange state of the beach. Large scorch marks were everywhere, including some newly formed impure glass on the sand. The black markings went in random directions, but they all issued from the rock faces on either side of the cave. And in the middle of all the carnage, sleeping soundly on the beach, was Toothless. The Nightfury had such a happy little smile on its face, and a round fish trapped in its claws. “Y’know what? I won’t even ask” Hiccup sensibly decided.
