It was another glorious sunny day on the Savannah for Gloria. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, the wind was a refreshing breeze and Gloria had harvested a bounty of fresh mangos from a tree. They were just ripe too! One by one she popped one into her wide maw, and slowly bit down crushing them into pulp that she swallowed in one gulp. All the while humming to herself and shaking her very generous hippo hips, making her big backside bounce and jiggle.
She had no destination in mind, maybe she’d find a new pond or find one of her fellow hippos or find more fresh fruit. The last one, which was also the biggest, she gulped down and there was still plenty of room in her big belly. She was licking her lips getting every last drop of juice when she heard something. Her ears perked up and she turned her head, something caught her eye from this distance it looked like a very strange and color full patchy area of grass. Red, yellow, orange, and green it was quite an odd sight, in the breeze it moved more like waves on a lake. Intrigued she decided to investigate further, as she got closer it wasn’t a plant at all. It was a single massive object it kind of reminded Gloria of tents, one’s that had collapsed, it was smooth and kind of soft. There didn’t appear to have an opening, and it was attached to a large green basket?
Two plus two was forming in her head. She had seen these before but usually they were up in the sky carrying city furs, and fully inflated! What an incredible find! Gloria bounced up and down, making an audible landing and causing her body to jiggle, and let out a squeal at such a stroke of luck! If she could get this up into the air, she would have such a view of the savannah while enjoying some fruit. Maybe she could even take some of her friends up in the air…if she found a bigger basket. From the look of the thing, she wasn’t certain her big butt could fit in it.
The poor thing had been abandoned from what she could tell, the balloon itself was in decent shape not holes or tears. The basket was a bit dinged up, it lay on it’s side some of the metal was dented and it was a bit dirty. She righted it up and stepped inside it of it to get a feel for the basket and to do a bit of fixing. Fortunately, the basket was in her size which was a miracle, but it was just barely in her size. Her expansive backside and gut took up almost all of the spaces still it would be a comfortable ride. She fixed a few of the bars bending them back into place, her booty did some of the work bending the bars back without her noticing while she was bending over to work on some of the lower ones and cleaning the basket by dusting off the dirt with her paw.
The balloon and basket looked worn but ready to go up into the air. But something was missing, while she didn’t know exactly how they worked she had seen the city furs pilot it by pulling on a rope that activated a fire making device that blew hot air into the balloon. There was no sign of it anywhere. But that didn’t get her down, she slapped her belly.
I can blow plenty of hot air on my own, I’ll have this balloon flying up in the air in no time.
She found the bottom of the balloon and gathered it up, holding it with both paws. Tilting her head back she inhaled a big breath! Huuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Like a massive pair of bellows air was vacuumed into her. Her chest and belly ballooned, blowing up to three times its size. Once she was satisfied her jaw slammed shut, her cheeks puffed up like gray basketballs and she blew with all of her might into the hot air balloon. Fsssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh! The sound echoed through the balloon’s interior, air spread through the entire balloon rounding it out and making it much more three dimensional. Bulges in some areas began forming already trying to lift the balloon into the air.
She inhaled again, even deeper this time from the looks of things, the balloon was about a quarter full. There wasn’t a single square inch that didn’t’ have air but it was going to take much more then this! This time Gloria’s entire body swelled up; her butt had swelled up twice it’s size sticking out behind her like a pair of overinflated yoga balls. She blew again, enjoying the air hissing and inflating the balloon.
The shape of the balloon was now conforming into a spherical shape instead of round lumpy bulges. Gloria had to dig in and become an anchor, the balloon was partly air borne, it bounced on the ground gaining a dozen feet of air before settling back to the ground and bouncing up again.
Your excited to get flying too aren’t ya! Don’t worry just one more huff and we’ll be flying soon!
Once again Gloria inhaled, even bigger than the previous times! She was really putting her lungs to work; every part of her body was filling up with air until she a balloon herself! Belly, booty, hips, arms, and legs swelled up. The wind bounced and lifted the hot air balloon, it was like it was excited to take in all that air!
Frwwooooooossssh! It was more of a roar this time! The balloon rounded out even further finally attaining it’s fully inflated shape, it was like a really fat upside down tear drop with a slightly round top. Gloria didn’t stop puffing until she needs to take in another breath, as soon as she gasped for air she clamped the balloon’s skirt closed to prevent any air from leaking out.
“Oh yeah I did it!” Gloria cheered. “Your almost as round as I am!” She patted the balloon’s inflated side with a free paw, enjoying the feel the firm inflated feel. But then she had a thought. Was it really ready. “I probably weight 10 times what the city furs do…maybe you could use one more huff n puff.
Gloria dug in holding the balloon’s skirt and inhaled again, this balloon was about to become the biggest one this savannah had ever seen!

It was a mid-tier day for Nala by her accounts she had only been able to catch some fish and beetles for her lunch, all of which were unappetizing to the pear-shaped lioness. But that had changed when she saw her rival/prey Gloria out strolling on the savannah. Nala had followed on all fours with her big furry butt in the air, her tail sticking up in the air like a dorsal fin. The hippo had been none the wiser to the white furred lioness’s approach, she was going to strike until Gloria’s discovery. A new idea formed in her head while she watched Gloria inhale and inflate the hot air balloon. A balloon flight would turn her day around. Nala could have struck at any time, Gloria’s big backside was wide open the entire time she was too much too focused on huffing and puffing and the sound was more then enough to drown out Nala’s footsteps. No, Nala wouldn’t be satisfied until Gloria’s work was complete and the balloon was overinflated to the hippo’s standards.
Nala emerged from her hiding place in the tall grass, she didn’t creep it was more like she sauntered out paws on her hips. Gloria was none the wiser she was bending forward, sticking out her big booty, putting all she had into her one last blow, unaware that Nala was now behind her.
SMACK!
The impact was hard enough to leave a temporary dent in Gloria’s booty blubber. The entire impact made her backside jiggle. Gloria’s eyes popped open and widened, her muzzle turning beat red from the surprise.
Hrmph! Her embarrassment was about to be the least of her problems. In that moment she had lost her control of her huffing and the flow of air was reversing.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!
The air roared back at her like a beast that wanted free itself from its cage. Gloria’s muzzle absolutely ballooned! Swelling up like she had stuffed an entire weather balloon in her muzzle. For a moment her muzzle contained the air preventing it from entering her body. Then it made it’s way into her body fully inflating her entire body in a matter of ten seconds. Her arms straightened out to her sides inflating and preventing her from moving them. Her belly, hips, and butt got the worst of it inflating her to the size of the air balloon. Her breasts inflated blowing up like massive air bags in front of her. The only part of her body that was spared was her tail which only swelled up a little bit.
The hot air balloon completely deflated and collapsed leaving it looking nothing more then a huge deflated colorful snake.
Bong! BWONG! BWONG! Gloria’s blimped body bounced on the ground carried by the wind, slowly gaining height. She was completely helpless, at best she could barely waggle her paws and feet. If she let all of the air out, she’d probably go flying out of Africa. Desperately she kept her muzzle shut and trying to leak air out through her nostrils.
How did it all blow up in her muzzle who had slapped her now blimped butt? All at once she came to a stop, she looked down as best as she could to see the feline smile of her lioness foe.
“Hey Gloria feeling a bit full there?” Nala said before with one quick move she tied Gloria’s muzzle shut with a bit of rope and rolled her back to the hot air balloon basket. Gloria couldn’t exhale now even if she wanted to, when Nala returned, she was now carrying four strands of thick rope from the basket, wearing a toothy grin.
Gloria gulped.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day for Nala while she rode in the basket. It was just her size her booty had plenty of room for her to sit and watch the gorgeous view of the expansive savannah. The sight was breath taking, the grass, the trees, lakes, and ponds. Some many new hunting ground opportunities but for now the collections of meerkats that she had gathered before flying Gloria’s ballooned butt into the air would have to do. She picked up them up one by one, ignoring their pleas before slurping them up whole.
Gloria could only grumble to herself and fume over what happened to her. Wiggling her arms and legs barely did anything Nala didn’t even feel the vibrations in the ropes. Her inflated form cast a shadow on the savannah below that was enough to blot out an entire lake…which some of her hippo friends happened to be relaxing in. Rather than help her the sight of Gloria’s hot air balloon form sent them all into hysterics.
The only good thing about she had quite a view during her flight.

Gloria belongs to Dreamworks

Nala belongs to Disney
