Tommy and Zoey Eat Out..... AGAIN!

Tommy and Hazel were small little squirrels again, snug in a special pouch on Zoeys broom. The feline witch was flying high over the landscape, and was singing a familar tune to witches as she flew:
 
*come little children, I'll take thee away...*
 
Hazel was holding tight to Tommy. Not because she found him cute, which she did beyond belief, but because she was scared of flying. This was the first time in a long time she had flown. Usually, since becoming Zoey's adopted daughter, she would ride in a car or, more often, in Zoey's belly.
 
"EEEEEEEEEE!!!!! HIGH HIGH TOO HIGH FALL SPLAT LAND LAND LAND!!!"
 
Tommy chuckled a little as he tried to comfort her. "Calm down Hazel! We will be at the restaurant soon."
 
Hazel blinked. "Rest your aunt? Hazel aunt rest fox belly."
 
Zoey giggled. "No Hazel. Resturaunt. Like some of those places we went to. But this is a special place. For the first time, we are going out to eat, all three of us."
 
Tommy nodded. "I was at this place a while back, and I had a lot of fun. I don't think you can do the card games, but there are a few other locations we can check out."
 
Zoey laughed. "Oh my boy you have no idea. The Witches Cauldron is always fun, and always changing. Every time someone goes, there is something new to enjoy!" She pointed as she spoke. "There it is!"
 
The location was a massive, spooky looking castle high on a mountaintop. Several witches from all over the world were here, either having landed or circling the location. Zoey flew in hard, making Hazel give an eep of suprised shock as Zoey and three other witches gunned for a landing spot. Tommy laughed as, per the usual, Zoey won out.
 
"Better luck next time!" Zoey told the witches. She picked up Hazel and Tommy, tossed them in the air, and zapped them with a wand that was in the pouch with them. In a flash, the two squirrels were replaced by a boy on the edge of childhood, with brown hair and blue eyes and a cute outfit, and a plump, nerdy squirrel girl, with a big bushy tail, igreen shirt and shorts, and glasses. She immediately wrapped Tommy in her tail, as soft as ever.
 
"Flying scary no fun scared hug comfort." She said, whimpering. Tommy hugged her and helped her calm down as a big fat tiger woman approached. Her attire had updated since the last time Tommy and Zoey saw her, a she now sported a suit of armor straight out of Helldivers.
 
"Agatha!" Tommy said, waving to the fat feline witch, who also partially owned the place. "It's been a long time!"
 
"Too long little morsel!" Agatha said, hugging the boy in a massive hug of fur and muscle. But then she noticed the new face. "And tell me, who is this succulent little cutie?"
 
Hazel blushed. "Hazel squirrel once human now Tommy love hug marry snuggle kids!"
 
Agatha blinked. "...... huh?"
 
Zoey laughed. "She used to be a squirrel, but after one of my spells she became a hybrid, and my adopted daughter. And... she loves Tommy."
 
Agatha ahhhed! "Well any friend of Zoey's is welcome here! And don't worry, I may love to eat kids... but I'm not as scary as I look." She offered a paw, and Hazel shook it with a smile, showing her cute buck tooth. "Anyways, been a few changes. Arcade is much bigger and now includes a massive gaming setup for consoles, and we got some new attractions to use while waiting for your meal. Or are these two on the menu?"
 
Zoey shook her head. "Usually, but not this time. I may save them for dessert though, and this time I intend to save room for it!"
 
Agatha nodded, and the three followed her in. Indeed the Witch's Cauldron had changed some, with new openings for lazer tag, an enhanced minotaur maze, and even giant plushies that doubled as bounce houses. And of course children and witches of all ages and races were all over the place. Tommy smiled as he looked around, but Hazel just beamed, her eyes sparkling. There was so much to do!
 
"Tommy! Look! Treetop swing jump play romp fun fun!" Hazel finally said. She pointed to a massive indoor forest, the tree canopy having tons of vines and branches to play on, but below tons of spiders spun webs to catch any who fell, and wolves waited nearby with empty bellies and big buns, hoping to get lucky. Zoey giggled some.
 
"You two go ahead. I'll send a familar your way when it is time to order. I may go visit first, a few witches here I haven't seen in a long time."
 
Hazel was ecstatic, and began dragging Tommy away toward the tree canopy area.
 
"Yayyyy! Hurry Tommy run climb jump swing slide leap fun!"
 
Zoey chuckled and watched them go, then smiled as she saw a few of her coven mates. With a smirk, she went to go reconnect.
 
****************
 
"Catch cuddle chase catch cuddle!"
 
Hazel was having a blast in the treetops, her squirrel roots allowing her to move among the branches like an expert. Tommy had to move carefully to keep the silly hug hungry girl from catching him. And it wasn't made any easier by what he saw below, as a spider girl was wrapping up a kid who fell into her web, and nearby a wolf waited with hungry jaws wide open as two kids, siblings no doubt, were swinging from vines just above the starving canine. Tommy looked down only to see another, massive wolf licking her lips. But... truth be told.... it didn't mean much at the moment.
 
"Catch hug!" Hazel said, leaping for Tommy, but he laughed and grabbed a vine, swinging for safety with Hazel right behind. Despite what waited below the two were having a blast! When they did connect it was a hug and tickle fest, and the other kids just laughed at how cute it was before they went off to have more fun with the chase again. Below, one particular wolf kept moving below them, mouth open, hoping they would fall right on in.
 
Suddenly, as Hazel swung on another vine, she lost her grip. Tommy eeped and went to get her, holding another vine, swinging down to take hold as the Wolf opened as wide as he could.....
 
..... only for a fairy to suddenly boop the duo with a little magic.
 
"Well, good thing I predicted the exact place you two would fall." The fairy said with a smug look. Below, the Wolf grumbled off, really wanting Tommy and Hazel for supper. But better luck next time, Tommy thought.
 
"You are Tommy and Hazel right? Sorry to interrupt, but I need your drink orders."
 
Tommy chuckled as he floated before the fairy, Hazel wiggling about. Clearly this was another familar, likely to another witch or perhaps one of those Asian Magical Girl types. Tommy thought and nodded.
 
"How about a couple of root beers?" He said, Hazel nodding. The fairy took note of it on a GIANT notepad she made appear.
 
"Got it. Thank you!"
 
She waved her hand and the two fell right into a spiders web, the Wolf below giving a look of utter frustration, before finally walking off. Nearby, the giant spider walked over to them and chuckled, a big white spiny one with a cute face.
 
"Sheesh. That's one Big Impatient Wolf. Ah well, I'll just wrap you two up and get you carried to your table."
 
Tommy spoke up as they were being cocooned. "Actually, is there a movie theater we can go to, watch some cartoons maybe?"
 
Hazel nodded, having had enough exercise in the trees for one day. The spider nodded and clapped her forelegs. About a hundred little spiderlings hoisted the two up.
 
"Take them to the Theater, number 12, and be sure to unwrap them above the waist."
 
The spiders gave cute sounds of acknowledgement as they carried off the duo. The spider waving for a bit before another kid landed before her wearing a yellow neckband. The spider giggled.
 
"Ooo! One on the menu! Get comfy kiddo, I was getting THIRSTY!!!"
 
*************
 
Meanwhile, Zoey was visiting with several other witches from around the world, sharing about goings on and magical get togethers and all manner of things. It was always fun to see the faces, and to learn some witches had gotten published.
 
"I even heard that green skinned meanie Simone got a big paycheck for all her amazing recipes. Can you believe that?"
 
Zoey chuckled. "Well remember we used to be visited for everything from abandoning kids for meals to curing the plague, so a simple recipe publishing isn't that farfetched."
 
The others agreed with her as she said this. They went to talk more as a fairy flew to her.
 
"Sorry to interrupt Zoey, but your order of children pot pie is in the oven. As for your two guests they have been watching some cartoons and were considering the minotaur maze."
 
Zoey nodded. "Thank you Tink. I'll head over there to pick them up. Did you get their orders?"
 
Tink shook her head. "No worries though. I'll zip over there and get them." And she saluted and flew off. One of the other witches chuckled.
 
"How did she never wind up a snack for that Peter. She's so sweet?"
 
Zoey shrugged. "Blame Disney. She had a contract, so she and Peter never get to hang out anymore."
 
All of them laughed at that.
 
*******************
 
"Ummmmmm..... peanut butter jelly big big yum yum fatten sweet?"
 
Hazel blushed at her order for a giant peanut butter and jelly sandwich to fatten up on, and the fairy, of course Tink herself, giggled some at that. Tommy just nodded.
 
"Better make that two, and can you suprise Zoey and have us turned into cookies later?"
 
Tinkerbell nodded. "You got it. Have fun in the maze, and don't get caught!"
 
The two nodded, turning to the entrance of the massive maze, knowing somewhere inside was a big minotaur. They held hands and went in, determined to best the maze.
 
They were starting okay, before they saw.... it. It was only five minutes when they saw the minotaur pass by, a massive man with muscles for days and the head of a bull, dark and scary looking. He held a big sack, and chuckled. His voice was deep as he looked about.
 
"I sense more have entered. I'm gonna catch you all!"
 
Hazel's tail frizzed up, and she shivered in fear, but Tommy held her hand.
 
"We can do this. All we got to do is get to the center. And we will."
 
Hazel took a deep breath, nodded, and the two went in. They turned left, then right, then another right, going deeper and deeper into the labyrinth. They knew they had to get there to win a prize, and were determined to do so.
 
"A HA! I SEE YOU!"
 
Oh no! The two turned and saw the minotaur, having sacked several kids, looming at the end of a hall. They bolted, trying not to get lost.
 
"Come Tommy run fast go move speed center go go go!!!"
 
Hazel turned one way and Tommy another, and Tommy realized they had split up. He tried to go back but saw the minotaur had headed that way. Nevertheless he had to try.
 
"I can't let her get caught, not like this...." he said. Despite it being a game, he was determined not to win because she let her self get caught. So, he chased after her. But he was soon lost, turning this way and that. Suddenly he almost ran right into the minotaur at an intersection!
 
"Got you!" He said, and Tommy bolted... but as he went he felt someone yank him to the side into a vast opening.... an opening filled with treasure.
 
And there, holding him, was Hazel!
 
"We won!!!" Hazel screamed, the minotaur soon in the center and smiling.
 
"Well, congratulations kids, you're the first in a long time to make it to the center!"
 
He handed the two small bags. Tommy quickly realized just WHAT the prize was.
 
A small bag of real gold, which they got to fill themselves!
 
"Hazel you did it!"
 
Hazel shook her head. "Hazel Tommy win both friends lovers hug."
 
He nodded and hugged her tight before getting the gold, several watching from above cheering. Tommy couldn't wait to tell Zoey!
 
****************
 
"...... and just before I was grabbed by the minotaur, Hazel grabbed me and pulled me into the entryway to the center! And look!"
 
They both revealed their winnings, small bags of gold coins, valued at about $1000. Zoey clapped her hands with pride.
 
They were at a table now in the main dining hall, Zoey eating a helping of children pot pie with several shrunken cuties, while Tommy and Hazel were munching on big, delicious, messy, fattening peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, each one as big as their arm. They watched as familars of all kinds brought food and took tips, even a bunch of fairies carrying a big plump roasted boy, luau style, toward a bunch of cute pig witches. Tommy was reminded of a beach party they went too not long ago with similar food.
 
"I'm glad we came back Zoey. It's been too long since we went out here."
 
Zoey nodded, and then laughed as Hazel finished her sandwich and gave a huge burp, looking like a big round fuzzball. Tommy wasn't that far off, rather plump and juicy himself. They looked at each other and smiled. Zoey knew they were up to something, and as she finished, she had a hunch what it was.
 
"What are you two up to?" She said matter of factly. Hazel giggled. Then burped again.
 
"Well... .you still hungry?"
 
The feline witch nodded. "Very much so." She licked her lips.
 
"OK Tink! Now!"
 
Tinkerbell smiled and splashed them with a bit of a concoction, and Zoey was wide eyed at the humorous event unfolding, the two turning from flesh and blood to dough and cream, big soft cookie kids, clearly with cream filling! Zoey licked her lips.
 
"I think I'll need a teleport home at this rate!" She said, getting up and coming over to them, setting them on the table with the help of more familars. Hazel spoke up.
 
"Go again?" She asked.
 
"I think so. But next time..." She held up the two bags of gold the two had won. "... I believe it is your treat."
 
The three laughed happily as Zoey took a bit off of each of their arms, and sat to nibble on it, while Hazel snuck a sugary cookie kiss on Tommy. Indeed, they would come again, because the experience was different each time.
 
Well... except in one way. It was always memorable, especially with those you loved, and loved to eat, and loved to be eaten by, the most.
 
 
THE (CHOMP!) END
