Just a fun little story idea I had (and an excuse to write some belly growth) :3

Arianna let out several panting breaths as she stood before the ice cream parlor.

The sun was beating down on her as she tried to catch her breath, having run from her car across the entirety of the local boardwalk to the Bun Bun Ice Cream Parlor for her interview. It was a sleepy Monday as a few pedestrians were walking about along the wooden dock built on the beach, but Arianna had been called in for an interview after applying to the parlor the day before. They must have been desperate for extra help.

She tugged on her blue button up to ease some of the heat and rubbed her black slacks, cursing herself for picking such ill suited clothes for a summer day such as this. But she understood the importance of dressing nice for interviews. She just hoped the smell of sweat wouldn’t be overwhelming.

Arianna pushed open the parlor doors and a pleasant ding came from the bell mounted on top. It was pretty empty at the moment since it was only late morning, and not a lot of people were up for having ice cream for brunch. It was thankfully cool inside the building as a wave of cold air hit her, making her give out a sigh of relief. She finally managed to catch her breath and walked up to the counter.

Manning it was a large bunny lady. She has pink fur and a rather large form, all bound into a red apron and white button up with black slacks. Her large furred hands were wearing rubber gloves as she scrubbed down the counter with a fresh rag and cleaner. Her two large floppy ears hung out behind her while on top of her head she wore a white paper cap with a red outline, which was emblazoned with a red smiling bunny face.

“Um excuse me?” Arianna asked. The rabbit lady noticed Arianna and seemed surprised.

“Ah. Pardon me for not seeing you. You must be Arianna right?” the lady asked. Arianna nodded as the rabbit pulled off her gloves and held out her fluffy hand.

“I’m Gabby. Nice to meet ya, hon.” she said cheerfully. Arianna shook her hand and was comforted by the icy chill of her fur. She just hoped she didn’t get any sweat on her paw.

“So, you’re here a bit early. My manager’s still getting ready for the interview right now. Why not have a seat over there.” she said, pointing to an empty booth seat beside the window. Arianna nodded as she released her grip and walked over to the seat, which was unfortunately sitting in direct sunlight. As she sat down and did her best to remain calm and upright, she could already feel the heat from the window hitting her. She debated moving to the shaded side to escape the sunlight, but that would be a dick move to put the manager through, She’d just tough it out.

“Hey hon’? Why not have this to cool off a bit.” Gabby said from behind the counter, before passing over a cone of chocolate ice cream. Arianna looked at it and couldn’t help but lick her lips before she politely shook her head.

“Nah it’s fine. I don’t want to make too much of a mess.” Arianna said, but Gabby gestured with it once more.

“Please, I insist. Don’t worry my manager won’t mind. Trust me.” she replied. Arianna seemed to debate for a moment before getting up from her seat and grabbing the cone gingerly. She held it up to her mouth and took an experimental lick, and immediately she felt blissful. It was soft and creamy and most importantly, ice cold. Doing her best to not spill any on herself, she went back to her booth seat and waited.

As she kept licking the ice cream, she realized the sunlight felt even more intense, and her body kept feeling hotter by the second. But the ice cream was certainly helping with that, so she kept licking it. Unaware that along her body, underneath the sweat and heat, tiny hairs of deep brown fur were sprouting along her tan skin.

A large round windowed door in the back of the store opened and out stepped another rabbit lady, this time a white furred one. She was dressed in the same outfit as Gabby, although without the paper cap, and wore some small round glasses over her beady black eyes while in her right hand was a clipboard. Arianna looked over in a bit of shock and debated whether she should keep eating the ice cream, but the manager seemed to read her mind.

“Ah don’t worry Arianna. You can keep eating it. It’s important to get acquainted with the flavors if you’re gonna be working here.” she said in a soft, soothing voice. Arianna breathed out a sigh of relief and kept licking it, feeling a tinge warmer as the fur began to spread across her hand and up her arms. But the ice cream was so good she didn’t notice it at all.

The manager walked over, her soft white paws thumping on the black and white tile floor, before she sat down across from Arianna and put down her clipboard. Arianna took another lick and made sure to maintain eye contact with the manager like her interview guides stated, trying her best to not appear to be suffering from the heat rapidly consuming her body. More ice cream would help.

“So Arianna, I’m Gale, the owner of this fine establishment.” she said, holding out her arm to greet her. Arianna shook it, feeling confused why her hand felt so much softer now as she firmly grasped Gale’s and shook. The fur had entirely consumed both of her hands and arms and was working its way across her chest, slightly puffing out her shirt.

“Nice to meet you Gale.” she said calmly, tugging at her shirt collar with her free hand to let the puffy fur out. It rapidly consumed her neck and back while it began working its way down her legs, puffing out her slacks in turn.

“So, I see you are interested in working here? How did you hear about us?” she asked as she clicked her pen open and began writing something on the clipboard Arianna couldn’t see. Arianna reached into her mind and began constructing a response as the fur around her neck bulged out, forming into a soft pillowy mass that pressed firmly into her shirt’s collar. The fur rapidly engulfed the rest of her legs and feet while it began worming its way across her head and face. She took another lick of her ice cream (being surprised by a strange hairy taste) before responding.

“Saw the ad online while looking for a place to work. I'm a big fan of sweets and the like so I figured this would be the perfect spot.” Arianna stated, feeling her ears tingle a bit before they suddenly grew out of the side of her head. Fur consumed them as they shot up into the air, puffing out and becoming soft yet firm before fully shifting into rabbit ears. Arianna scratched her hair a bit before immediately stopping, not wanting to look unprofessional. She put her hand back down as her hair receded and turned into a thick coat of brown fur covering her head.

“Good good. And why us in particular over a place such as… Candy Cadets right down the street?” Gale asked. Arianna thought about it for a moment as the fur fully subsumed her face. Her teeth lengthened a bit with her two front teeth pushing together and stretching into a massive set of teeth, while her incisors flattened slightly and moved out of the way, leaving a tingling feeling in her mouth. She took another lick, not noticing her eyes shrink down into beady, black dots. Her face seemed to flatten a bit as her nose smooshed down into the fur and seemed to disappear entirely, but she could still smell the sweet sweet ice cream. Her mouth seemed to shift to that of a rabbit’s, giving her the stereotypical :3 face that people online tend to swoon over.

“Well, Ice cream is just my favorite sweet treat. It’s so soft and cold and… ugh… sorry so good.” Arianna groaned a bit as she felt her sleeves getting a bit tighter. Her nails lengthened into small claws as her fingers and hand began to puff out, gaining a firm layer of chubbiness underneath. Her arms slightly grew in turn, pressing into the soft cloth of her shirt and making it puff out more.

“That’s good to hear. Here at Bun Bun we specialize in our multitude of flavors available. If you plan on working here you’ll need to memorize and test all the flavors to get familiar with them. Is that a task you are up for?” Gale questioned, writing down more words onto her clipboard. Arianna let out a soft nod as she felt her shirt getting hotter and tighter by the second. Sweat began to pool on the outer layers as her stomach and chest started to puff out, stretching the cloth thin. The buttons on front began to make way as soft brown fur began to pool out of the gaps in between.

“Great. Then how about we test it now. Describe for me the flavor you have at the moment. How would you sell it to a customer?” Gale asked, putting her pen down. Arianna thought of the flavor of the ice cream, but was having trouble concentrating due to the current tightness of her outfit. Her shoes especially were cramping up, as her toes merged together into four equally sized fluffy toes, complete with small claws on the end of each.

‘Well I’d say it's soft and creamy to start 'cause that’s important, then…ugh” Arianna grimaced a bit and gripped the table with her free hand as her leather shoes stretched and bent around her growing toes. She tried to curl them up to ease the tightness she was feeling, but eventually relief came as the fronts split open, letting her toes still curled around her torn up socks get some fresh air. They popped and snapped as they continued to grow, stretching down across the ground.

“Then… how it’s a cool refreshing treat reminiscent of… those Fudgesicles your parents bought you… when it was…sorry.” Arianna tugged on her collar some more as her puffy hands and arms kept growing. Her shoulders tore through the tops of her sleeves and her stomach grew out of the bottom of her shirt, creating a gap between her pants and shirt. Gale gestured for her to continue, seemingly uncaring of her current transformation.

“...when it was hot like today, in those summers long ago. Playing on nostalgia and the like to… make the sale. Plus how…urk!” Arianna felt her neck of fluff get constrained by her top button, temporarily choking her. Luckily it was only for a moment as the growing fluff and chubbiness soon popped off the button, sending it flying across the table. Gale gently swiped it to the side as Arianna breathed out and continued.

“Plus how good it is. I mean this cone Gabby gave me is so… so…” Arianna began to think of the words while her buttons reached their limit. Starting from the top, each button began to pop off in sequence, exposing her massive sweaty and furry gut underneath, yet she was none the wiser. She dug her toe claws into the floor to ease their soreness as the leather around her soles and ankles warped and bent around her growing mass.

“So delicious! I mean this ice cream is the best I’ve had in a while. And the cone too! Mmmmm!” Arianna took a large bite out of the cone, still saturated with melted chocolate ice cream, as another button popped off her shirt. She pat her large belly to sell how delicious it was, which Gale seemed to find humorous.

“Would you do all of that when selling to a customer?” Gale questioned. Arianna seemed to get brought back down to earth and stuttered a bit. Her sleeves ripped more along her now massive arms while her tight pants began to rip along their seams. Another button flew off her shirt.

“Well not all of that. I’d just give them the first part of that whole spiel. But I’m not lying, this ice cream is so delicious!” she said with enthusiasm causing another button to fly off leaving a singular one bound tightly across her massive belly. She gripped the side of her pants with her free hand to try and ease some of the soreness, feeling the cloth beneath split as her newly grown fur spilled out. Yet still she remained unaware of the transformation.

“I see. Very insightful of you Arianna. Now for the last question, and this one is the most important. We typically hire people only with G’s in their name due to tradition, and you’ve been such an exceptional candidate so far so we’re going to work on a solution right now. If you had to pick a name that starts with G to use while you work here, what would you pick?” Gale asked. Arianna raised her now non-existent eyebrow. This wasn’t a question she had ever heard at her ten other interviews. So she began to think. As she did the calves of her pants began to split across her own growing calves while the leather bits of her shoes suddenly popped and snapped off, finally letting her paws out fully.

“I think…ugh…I think I’d choose…” Arianna tried to focus but her body felt so hot and tight. She took another bite of her ice cream, nearly down to the end of the cone now, as her sleeves split open across her upper arms. She planted her newly grown paws to try and sit still, but the delicious ice cream and prospect of actually getting this job made her rapidly thump her foot.

“I think… I’d like to be called… sorry let me just…” Arianna took another bite, down to the last triangular bit of the cone, and her last button snapped off, letting her large belly spill out and almost run into the table before her. Her pants button snapped in turn from the newly released mass, bringing her relief from the last bits of her tight clothes. At least almost, as her lower back started to puff out from a new limb growing underneath.

“I think… I’d like the name…Gabrinna. Yeah, that would work.” she said. Gabrinna took the last bite of her ice cream and let out a contended sigh as her pants split open at the back, revealing a soft light brown rabbit tail that dug into the seat cover behind her.

Gabrianna’s body stabilised as her changes concluded. Now a massive rabbit lady, she was at eyeline with Gale as Gale took off her glasses and stood up.


“Well then Gabrianna, welcome to the team.” she said, holding out her hand once more. Gabrianna almost jumped with joy as she stood up and grasped Gale’s hand before shaking firmly.

“OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GALE! Ahhhh this is awesome!” she said, bouncing around the open area excitedly. The remaining bits of her shirt and pants clung to her still, doing their best to keep her somewhat decent. Gabrianna stopped and looked back to Gale to ask another question.

“So… when do I start then?” she asked. Gale seemed to ponder this for a moment as she began to wak towards the back.

“We’re typically slow on Mondays, so how about today we give you some training and get you used to the new uniform. Besides, you’ll need it right now.” Gale explained. Gabrinna seemed confused and looked down, finally becoming aware of the changes to her body.

Her face lit up a bright pink as she covered up her exposed chest with her arms. She felt herself beginning to melt from embarrassment, while Gabby and Gale both just chuckled to themselves.

“Don’t worry we all went through that too. Let’s just get you a nice uniform to start then we can start going over the basics. Uh Gabby would you be a dear and clean up Gabrinna’s spot real quick?” Gale asked. Gabby nodded and walked out from behind the counter to clean up the shredded clothes on the floor.

Gabrinna followed Gale into the backroom, still in shock over her altered form. It wasn’t the worst thing that could happen to someone, but she’d definitely have some explaining to do to her family at the next gathering. If anything it felt more comforting to be a giant rabbit lady alongside her new coworkers. Although she imagined the fur would make summer days like this even more unbearable.

Ehhh, that’s what the ice cream was for.
