Scene 1. Plumber

Lilly awakens in her bed, back in her 'waking world' bedroom, with her back resting reassuringly against Roc’s.

Lilly sits up in bed, I feel fully rested and restored in the mornings here. And that is surprising, as I am so busy in my ‘dream world’. My 'double' is able to relax here because my family is so nice to her.

Lilly looks over at the still sleeping Roc, watching Roc as his chest rises and falls with his respiration. He looks so sweet and peaceful, smiling, grunting and hugging his pillow. I know he is dreaming of me. He doesn't ever even look at anyone else. That fidelity comes at a price though, as she feels her breasts, full of morning milk. I am glad that my ‘dream world’ replaces my nightmares. I am actually having a lot of fun over there, with no responsibilities. That world is someone else’s problem.

This world is my problem.

Lilly carefully arises, as to not disturb Roc's pleasant slumber, I wish I could talk to Roc about my ‘dream world’, but I would only worry him needlessly. He will never understand me. I can’t get him involved any more than I already have. I’ll just feed the boys and sneak out to The Base. I have to get through to The General. He must be made to understand the dangers of ‘the dreamers’ ‘new technology’.

I cannot allow these wonderful ‘new technology’ devices to be used to destroy my world, as they are destroying Apollo's world.

Lilly's thoughts are interrupted by the phone ringing in the living room, Lilly grabs her robe and strides down the stairs to answer it before the ringing awakens Roc and the kids.

It is Leona, “Good morning Lilly,” “Sorry to call so early.” “Our sewer is backed up.” “I can call a plumber, but that would upset father.” “He doesn't like strangers in our house.” “If it isn’t too much trouble, could I pick you up and have you look at this mess for us?” “I think you said that you used to do things like this for your parent’s apartment building.”

Leona continues, trying to sound cheerful, "If you can help us today, I’ll be right over to pick you up.”

Lilly figured this day was coming, Their mansion is old and shows no sign of any recent maintenance.

Lilly is genuinely happy to give something back to the supportive lions and responds cheerfully, “Sure,” “I am just a plumber at heart!” “I still need to feed the kids,” “So give me thirty minutes to assemble my kit and I’ll meet you out in the front driveway.”

Leona drives up into the driveway at Lilly's house at exactly thirty minutes. Lilly is waiting with a large tool box and a bag of previously soiled coveralls for her ‘dirty work’.

On the drive to the lion's house Lilly asks Leona about past clogging occurrences or if there were any drain issues leading up to the clog today. Leona admits that there have been past incidents of drain clogging, every once in a while.

At the lion's house Lilly examines the standing water in the first floor bathroom shower and states the obvious,

“Hmmm,” “Yep," "Your drain is clogged!”

Leona is apologizing, “I am so sorry to bother you.”

Lilly smiles, “Don’t worry about it, you all have helped me so much, it's the least I can do.” And it was likely me that clogged your drains in the first place. With all the food I eat, I generate mountains of ‘goat custards’! While you skinny lions eat nothing and rarely use your own plumbing!

Lilly walks around the large house and finds the drain clean-out. The cap is rusted and frozen on. Not wanting to break the pipe or strip the threads, Lilly sprays the exposed pipe threads with penetrating oil. Lilly reflects, This thread oil soak might take a couple of hours to penetrate far enough inside.

I’ll look around for other things to fix while I am here and dressed for the occasion.

Scene 2. Electrician

Lilly finds Leona in the kitchen, “Leona, you said that your father ordered some electrical lights.” “Did you ever put them up?”

Leona shakes her head, “No, the new lights are still packed up in the shed.”

Lilly smiles, “I have a few minutes to wait for the oil to soak into the cap threads before I can remove the cap and wash out the drain pipe.” “So I can put up some of your lights now, if you would like.”

Leona smiles, “That would be great!”

Lilly and Leona enter the work shed and open the boxes to examine the electric lights, fixtures and conduit wire. Leona holds up a weatherproof light fixture, “We would like a light over the front door and a light over the back door to the patio.”

Lilly examines the new light bulbs and fixtures, These are nice, The Chief and Ellie are doing a good job with the redesigns.

Lilly picks up an electrical conduit cable, “Is it okay with you if I run conduit wire around the outside of your house?” "I’ll run the conduit cable up under the eves where it shouldn’t be too visible and I’ll paint it the same color as the house."

Leona smiles and nods, “That sounds very good, but let’s review your plan with father, as he hates surprises and wants the final say on any home projects.”

Lilly grins, Yes! I am here to impress your father!

The old lion is impressed by the handy Lilly, he nods in approval, “Lilly, I remember you said you were a plumber, and you are an electrician too?” Lilly smiles, “Yep!” “Been doin’ it for my folks apartments for a few years now.” “I had to gave all that up when I had kids, but it is fun to do once in awhile.” She sees the old lion has tears in his eyes. Your former caretaker also did things like this?

Lilly looks around in the work shed, The former caretaker was apparently pretty handy too. She has this shed well stocked with a variety of tools for electrical and plumbing maintenance.

Lilly takes out a step-ladder and sets it at the front door. Lilly stands on the ladder, holding the light fixture over the front door, “Leona, how is this location?"

Leona nods, “That would be great!” “No more fumbling to open the door in the dark!”

Lilly mounts the fixture and runs the conduit around the house, to the electrical service panel in the back of the house. The process is repeated for the back patio.

“Leona, get some paint and I’ll paint the conduit on my next visit.” “Also think about where you would like to have electric lights in the house.” “I can put the lights in the ceiling on the top floor rooms and run the conduit through the attic.” “But for the lower floors I may have to mount the lights on the outer walls and run the conduit on the outside of the house.”

Lilly switches the new front and back door electric entry lights on and off, for a test, and smiles,

It is always so nice when things work!

Scene 3. Finishing-Up

Lilly then resumes work on blocked drain. The drain clean-out cap comes off easily, after being soaked in oil. Lilly looks at the lion’s garden hose and frowns, “Now I am going to ruin your garden hose unless you have a drain-snake!”

Leona nods, “The hose is old, I'll replace it." "I need to get paint at the hardware store anyway.”

Lilly feeds the hose into the blocked drain. The hose stops about two meters inside the drain, “I think I found it, let’s see.” “Leona, make sure that no one is near the drains in the house,” “And then come out and turn on the hose tap for me.”

Lilly laughs to herself, I don’t want to kill your father this way. I have much better and more fun methods to kill old men…

Leona shouts, “Okay here goes!”

Lilly has the hose wrapped with towels at the drain clean-out. Leona turns on the garden water hose tap and black water starts squirting out the drain clean-out. Then the squiring stops and gurgling is heard from the drain.

Lilly smiles, “Leona, I think we got it,” “But you will need to ‘root’ your drain, to avoid this happening again soon.” Especially with me visiting...

Lilly puts the tools back in the shed and washes off her tools, drys them, and puts them back in her tool box. Leona looks at the splattered Lilly, “Lilly please come in and shower.” “I’ll get some clean clothes for you too.” Lilly decides that is a good idea and takes Leona up on the offer.

Lilly exits the shower and Leona is waiting for Lilly. Leona has selected some of the former caretaker's clothes Leona knows her father likes.

Lilly lifts a fore-leg to her nose, “Leona, do you happen to have some cologne?” “I still smell like the sewer.” “Maybe something that old lions like to smell?”

Lilly looks up, Now what do old lions like to smell?

Lilly then grimaces with eyes wide in fear at her own request, and thinks,

Probably something like ‘fresh goat meat’!

Scene 4. Test

The Advisor intercepts Lilly in the bathroom. Lilly is still wrapped in a towel, applying Leona's cologne, “Please show me the results of all of your hard work.”

Lilly smiles, still toweling off, “Okay, it isn't that much.” “And I did just test the plumbing with my shower.” “Go easy on the plumbing to avoid another stoppage, don’t invite any great big beasts, like me, over to visit.” Sticking the towel into her ear.

The Advisor turns and bows slightly toward Lilly, “Lilly,” “I thank you!” "I don’t know what I was thinking, ordering these electric lights that I can’t put up myself.” “But I am fascinated by these devices, and your other inventions too.”

Lilly dresses in a nice blouse and pants set Leona retrieved from the old caretaker’s closet. Lilly grimaces before the dressing mirror, Uh oh, these clothes are a very tight fit! I hope I don't have to bend over.

Lilly joins The Advisor in the living room and he stares at Lilly as she enters, “You look very good in those clothes.” Lilly raises her fore-legs and slowly turns around, to fully display the former caretaker’s clothes for him. Then two walk close together to the front door. The Advisor opens the door and cycles the front door light switch on and off. He smiles to see the new device cheerfully illuminating the front porch and then it goes dark, on command. Lilly and The Advisor then walk around the house to the back porch to test the electric light there. The Advisor repeats the on-off cycle test on the patio door light.

The Advisor comments, “I would like to string more lights around the patio roof, so we could have back yard events at night, in the summer.” Lilly nods, “Buy more light strings and I’ll put them up next time I am over.” She blushes at The Advisor’s excitement, she twirls and poses ‘on point’, up on one rear-toe. She holds her pose for The Advisor’s approval. She winks and he blushes.

The Advisor regains his composure, smiling,

“How can I repay you for all of this?”

Scene 5. Review

Lilly smiles and changes the subject, “Have you heard anything back about our paper submission?”

The Advisor pauses at Lilly’s caveat, “Not from the journal review committee, but my friends have submitted some comments.” “Would you like to go through their comments with me?”

Lilly smiles and quickly nods, “Yes, I would very much like to see what your friends have to write about me.”

The Advisor guides Lilly back inside the house and to his Study office desk, where the pages of Lilly's paper are spread out.

Lilly looks down at the desk, “This is my first journal paper submission with me as lead author (with your help, of course).” “My other papers have all been with The Professor as the lead, and me as one of the minor associates…”

Lilly recounts, "The Professor had stopped publishing papers in his later years for various reasons." "I got him started again by offering to write all of his paper drafts and by making new observations and astronomical photography for him at the observatory."

Lilly closes her eyes and reflects on her memory of The Professor, kind and wise, with a tear.

Lilly then open her eyes and brightly continues, “My paper is all my own original work!” “Without stealing anything from my 'dream world'!”

The Advisor stares at Lilly, ‘Dream world’? Lilly? You have a ‘dream world’?

The Advisor smiles again at his precocious student and ignores her ‘dream world’ comment for now, “You seem to have gotten have a lot of scientific writing experience, thanks to your ‘association’ with ‘The Professor’.” “And my friends noticed this and commented favorably on your writing style.” “They only had a few rewriting suggestions and corrections on the narrative itself." "They mostly asked for more analysis and more ‘raw data’.” Leo rocks back in his office chair and laughs, “The nosy bastards!”

Lilly’s heart leaps as she is again smitten by the old lion’s caricature grimace. Lilly walks around his large desk and up behind the old lion’s chair. She closes her eyes and embraces him from behind, nestling her big nose into his still thick, black, mane. Her wiggling nostrils and her tongue touch his cheek, “Mmmmmm”

Lilly, sniffing deeply, softly bleats, “How can you repay me?” “Do you reeeally have to aaaaskh?”, her tail briskly wiggling.

Leo carefully turns his head and kisses Lilly on her forehead, between her horns. Leo's long tail is slowly, rhythmically, waving its black tuft, back and forth, behind his chair.

Lilly is overwhelmed with The Advisor’s smell and her own emotions. A very audible growling sound is heard, emanating from Lilly’s stomach. Lilly tearfully sobs, “Look what you have done to me!”

“Now I am aroused,” “And hungry!”

Scene 6. Lunch

As they walk out the back door Lilly looks over to The Advisor, “You have never been up to my observatory, have you?” She stops and turns taking his large fore-paws in her fore-hooves, “At the request of your 'friends', I will be going up to my observatory to look in the archives for more of that ‘raw data’ for inclusion into my paper.” “Why don’t you come with me?”

Lilly slyly smiles, “I could give you an ‘early peek’ at my ‘raw data’!”

The old lion looks over at the skipping young Lilly and shakes his head, “I don’t know if I can keep up with you.” “And I am not much good at high-altitudes these days.”

Lilly pulls The Advisor up against her chest, then smiling, seductively, in a soft bleat, while coyly drawing a circle with her rear to on the ground, “Please come with me,” “To my observatory,” “My Advisor,” “And check out my ‘raw data’!”

Leona walks over and collects the attached pair, taking each one by a foreleg, like children, and walks them over and sits them down at the table. The outside patio table has been attractively set up by Leona and the maid. Set out are trays with several boxes of hot pizza, chilled sliced fruit and ice-cream, for Lilly.

Also set out, are small trays of hard biscuits and dried meat, for the lions.

Lilly’s eyes brighten as she quickly scoops up a slice of hot pizza and swallows it whole, and then another slice is swallowed in one gulp, Uh oh, I’ve been spotted being a ‘pig’ with food again!

The two lions are staring at Lilly’s zestful eating. They are both, slowly and quietly, nibbling on the hard biscuits and the small pieces of dried meat, never looking away from Lilly.

Lilly tries to hide her sudden fear, I really hope that these two skinny lions are not just fattening up ‘the goat’ for lunch! I really need to find out what became of the former caretaker. No one just disappears and leaves all of their stuff. Her sudden disappearance is very suspicious. But they both seemed to value her work here and they seem to miss her a lot. Maybe I can ask Leona about her when we are alone together.

The Advisor breaks Lilly’s tense silence and speaks, “Although I haven’t received the final word on your scientific article submission, the rumors from my co-reviewer friends are that the publisher plans to use your paper as the lead-feature article for the monthly volume of the journal.” The Advisor pauses, as if he shouldn’t proceed to tell Lilly the rest, “Ahem,” “Along with your interview for the press-release for the newspapers...”

Lilly bolts up and chokes. She mumbles, mouth full of pizza, “Interview?” (“Gag”) “When was that the deal?” (“Gag”) “And it’s the ‘lead’ article?” (“Gag”)

Leo The Advisor smiles and continues to devil Lilly, “You could even be up for ‘The Prize’,” “As your discovery is very exciting, and revolutionary.”

Lilly eyes wide and in a panic, is compulsively bolting down food.

I can’t even tell The Advisor why I can’t be seen in public!

That I might be recognized by one of my victims, as the ‘Dark Alley Rapist’!

Scene 7. Digest

Lunch ends when Lilly reaches into the last pizza box, now empty. Lilly frowns and grimaces, Uh oh, not again! “Hic!”

I have even unbuttoned my clothes without thinking as I pigged out from stress of a threatened interview! “Hic!”

Lilly looks down at her engorged belly, now out resting on her lap. Not only did I undress, but my bare belly is sticking out from my blouse and pants! “Hic!”

Lilly reaches down to feel her stomach, in pain, Three boxes of pizza! Plus a tub of ice-cream! Egad! What have I become? “Hic!”

Lilly attempts to stand up, holding the table with one fore-hoof while holding her churning tight belly with her other. Lilly is dizzy from her gorging, grimacing in pain, “Hic!” “Belch!” “Hic!”

Lilly, hiccuping and unsteadily staggering, is on the verge of collapse as she tries to walk, “Hic!” wobble.

The Advisor notices Lilly’s wobble and stands to hold her up, “Perhaps, Lilly, we should take a break,” “A nap maybe.”

Lilly looks at him, nods and tries to smile, “Hic!”

The Advisor then slowly escorts the staggering Lilly to his Side Study for her ‘nap’. He slowly walks her in and seats her down on the bed. Lilly then continues unbuttoning her uncomfortably tight clothes. Lilly is now suddenly aware of the pressure of her belly down against her sensitive groin area, adding to her state of arousal.

She looks up at Leo while she strips, “You too big fella!” “Hic!”

Once undressed, she leans back on the bed, holding Leo to her side, her nose wiggling, “Mmmmm,” “Come here,” “My Furry…” “Sniff!” “Sniff!” “Hic!”

Leo lies down on the bed, next to Lilly. He then gently places his large paw on her stomach and begins to message her tightly gorged belly and feels her stomach spasms.

Lilly turns her head to him and moans in ecstatic relief, “Yeess!” “Baaaahhh…” “Hic!”

Lilly tries to relax and relish Leo’s soft warm paw, slowly caressing her entire lower body.

Leo calls out, “Shelia!”

Lilly softly coos, with a tear,

“I’m not your ‘first’, am I?” “It’s okay,” “Experience is good.” “Hic!”

After a few of Leo’s soft paw strokes on her belly, Lilly’s body starts into an involuntary, rhythmic, jerking tension. Leo’s continuing belly massage and tactile stimulation is rapidly pushing Lilly over her ‘peak’. Lilly suddenly flexes her back legs up to her chest and into a powerful clonic seizure. Lilly, with eyes tightly closed and fore-legs tightly pulled against her chest, experiences violent climax contractions, her body bouncing on the bed, as she sees beautiful swirls of color against her tightly closed eyelids. Then Lilly’s sexual, and other tensions, suddenly all release and radiate away into space.

Leo bolts up, startled by Lilly’s convulsions, “Am I hurting you?!”

Lilly gradually opens her eyes, her muscle spasms subsiding. Lilly suddenly grabs Leo into her fore-legs and draws his face up to hers, pressing her large chest against Leo’s thin sunken chest, feeling each other's beating heart. Lilly stares into Leo’s face for a moment, then she kisses him, long and passionately, tears again streaming,

“Mmmmmm!” “Yes!” “Hurts!” “Ouch!”

Lilly smells and feels Leo’s moisture accumulating on her thigh, along with her own. Lilly again stares at Leo and shudders in ecstasy. Lilly then places his large paw back onto her belly as she grunts,

“But don’t you dare stop!” "Belch!"

Scene 8. Drive

On the trip back home Lilly is silent, looking down, frowning.

Leona glances at Lilly and comments, “Are you okay, Lilly?” “You aren’t mad at my dad over something, are you?” “Does your stomach still ache?”

Lilly sits back up straight and grimaces a smile, “No, I’m fine.” “Your dad is so good to me and he is helping me so much on my thesis.” “I am a bit tired from the plumbing and electrical projects and my thesis publication review,” and the Side Study, where your dad cured my hiccups.

Lilly thinks about the former caregiver and decides she is not up to that ‘reveal’ on this visit, maybe next time.

“I only worry if I am good enough company for your dad to be worth all of his time.”

Leona smiles to Lilly, “Haven’t you noticed?” “My dad is in love with you!” “Dad is really looking forward to visiting your observatory with you.”

Lilly jerks, How do you know about our observatory visit?

I was kinda hoping the trip would just be the two of us.

Oh well, it isn’t like Leona doesn’t know what is going on.

After all, she set us up!

Lilly nods, “Leona, you should come with us.” “Please.” "Your farther says that you taught science and worked in scientific research, so I think you will find it interesting."

“As a partial ‘thank you’ for all you have done for me,” “Leona,"

"I will personally give you the grand tour of my observatory!”

Scene 9. Success

It is late afternoon when Lilly returns home. Lilly sets her tool box and her washed and neatly folded coveralls on the front porch chair.

Lilly looks at her toolbox thinking, I really don't need to bring my tools to their house. They seem to have everything needed in their shed. The tools were likely purchased for them by the former caretaker.

Lilly looks down at the clean and neatly folded coveralls, Leona even washed my coveralls, probably while I was playing with her father in the Side-Study. My coveralls have never been this clean since they were new!

Lilly opens the front door. Roc is waiting for her in the living room, as usual. As Lilly opens the front door she is suddenly aware of her still mostly unbuttoned blouse and pants, reveling her bulging belly.

Roc folds his paper at Lilly’s dramatic, partially clad, entrance.

Roc comments, “It does appear that you are getting along well with your new Advisor.”

Lilly expounds, “Yes!” “The Advisor has accepted me!”

Lilly closes her eyes and lifts a fore-leg up, as if she is in a play. She announces,

“The Advisor is a great man, and a doctor!”

“The Advisor has also developed a fool-proof cure for the ‘hiccups’!”

And he also gave me a rather complete ‘physical’! All at the same low price!

Roc quietly adds, “But isn’t he a doctor of philosophy?”

Lilly continues the drama, “Roc,” “You should never have told Leona what I like to eat!” “Those lions have been hell on my ‘diet’!”

Roc chuckles at Lilly’s large form in the doorway, What diet!? “No diet while you are nursing!” Stay big for now! And maybe for our next kids too.

Lilly is still holding the door, trembling, “Roc,” “If I ever don’t come home from the lions, have the cops check their basement for my gnawed bones.” “And maybe look for the old caretaker’s remains there too.”

Lilly dramatically kicks the front door shut with a hind-hoof and strides up to Roc. She firmly embraces him, pushing her large chest and her protruding belly into him. Roc stares at Lilly, puzzled by her statements, her sewer-cologne-lion smell, her engorged belly and her advanced state of ‘undress’.

Roc, slyly smiles, “You didn’t just unclog The Advisor’s drain, did you?” “Did you also unclog The Advisor?”

Lilly smiles with a smirk, Actually, we unclogged each other...

Lilly sets her right foreleg akimbo, “I did much more for him than just that!”

Lilly raises her fore-legs and twirls on her point on a rear-toe, in her lewd, partially undressed, exhibition. She stops and pats her protruding naked belly with a “Pop”, in satisfaction, “Belch!”

“I ‘illuminated’ The Advisor’s house!”
