Beatrice slept alone in her bed, snoring away in unseen dreams. She was a bit of a heavy sleeper, more so tonight as she took something to help get her to sleep. She wanted a good night's rest for the Book Club. Smiling at some image in her mind, she rolled over and started to snore.
It was just too bad her kids new her habit about taking sleep medication before a stressful day.
Otherwise they probably wouldn't be doing what they were doing; slowly stacking some boxes on a chair in the kitchen. Gabriella was the lighter of the two and thus was the one standing on the pile of stuff reaching her arm out to get the box. Shane was looking to find anything to help and pointed out a long broom in the corner.
That did the trick. One good sweep and the box went tumbling down to the floor. Lucky for them, it didn't spill open; they liked candy but not enough to grab it off the floor. Beside they didn't have time; they quickly shoved everything back where it was supposed to be or close enough before grabbing the box and running to their room.
With pillows under their blankets as a distraction, the pair ducked inside their closet which was one of their preferred hiding spots. The pair laughed as they tore open the box and grabbed a handful of candies each.
"There's so many of them!" Gabriella said as she looked over her own haul, "Milk Chocolate, Almond, Cherry..."
"Bleh, really? Who eats fruit with chocolate?" Her brother stuck his tongue out.
"Well, how about this?" She dug into her collection again and held up to other wrapped pieces, "Strawberry and Strawberry Cream filled ones!"
"That's not fair, strawberry's a berry not a fruit! And what's the difference between Strawberry and cream?" Shane huffed.
"I guess it's like Peanut and Peanut butter, one's a little harder than the other." she offered, "So like one has an actual strawberry in it and the other has like.... frosting or something inside."
The young girl wasn't too far off. Strawberry cream was a 'softer' flavor and thus would turn anyone who ate it into a bisexual bimbo ditz. One focused on Strawberry as whole though, had a much harsher effect, turning the user into a rather forward lesbian, at times leaning into 'butch' tendencies. Not that she would know what those words actually meant.
"Don't berries go bad if they're hot?"
"Doesn't smell like your feet." Gabriella snickered as she unwrapped the strawberry marked candy and took a sniff, "besides its' probably more like... candy or jello made out of a strawberry than an actual berry."
"That makes sense but you're still stupid." Shane grumbled and tossed a candy her way.
Gabriella caught it and with a grin unwrapped it and shove it and the strawberry candy into her mouth. As Shane complained it was 'his' she quickly chomped it down and made a show of swallowing 'his' candy in front of him. She laughed at him which made him reach for his own chocolate when something... weird started to happen.
First Gabriella's stomach grumbled loud enough for even Shane to hear. And second..., her arm started to grow before their widening eyes.
