Description
Micro, slowly reaching the size of viruses, could only watch as the slice of cake with a side of him got closer to the mouth of his roommate. If this went on, not only Micro's blood would soon be inside the massive bat girl. He knew that it was obviously futile and yet he started running away from Gwen's mouth. But even if he could reach speeds of 1 micrometer per second, it wouldn't be enough to make a difference.
Micro tripped and had no other choice but to turn around as he felt Gwen's breath around him. A row of massive teeth came from above and cleaved through the cake. He could only be happy that he was on the right side while the distance between Gwen and the cake grew a bit. Micro was spared for now, but when the planet eater in front of him was done chewing he was probably next in line. And unfortunately, that peace only lasted for a few seconds.
“Okay, Gwen, it has been fun and all, but there is no need to eat me. I learned my lesson, you are way higher in the food chain than me.”
“If you understand it, then why are you complaining about me putting the food chain into action?”
“Because... I don't want to ruin the taste of the cake for you?”
“Oh really? You are concerned about me?”
Before Micro could answer Gwen stretched out her tongue and brought it to the edge of the cake. But it didn't stop there as Micro saw the soft, pink continent of a wall make its way across the cake. Once Micro could see the individual taste buds he knew that it was way too close to run away from. A huge chunk of the cake ground was ripped off by the tongue and abducted into Gwen's mouth. He saw the interior of the mouth only briefly before it was closed and trapped Micro.
“This taste... is the taste of a liar! Micro Miovanna!”
After a few seconds Micro's eyes adjusted to the darkness within the mouth. The problem however was that he had to deal with darkness within darkness since he was somewhere on Gwen's tongue where the taste buds in the shape of mushrooms and the size of mountains blocked even more light. With his size of 11 nanometer every cell had the proportion of a stadium.
“Gwen, spit me out right now!”
“I don't think I will. But since you brought up spit...”
The soft ground beneath Micro suddenly moved. He could hold on a part of a cell to not fall off but his reward came in the form of a flood. While not even the cake pieces managed to reach the ground of Gwen's tongue, the slimy fluid did so easily. The ocean worth of fluid caught and carried Micro quickly to the surface on top of it and without the protection of the tongue he had to face the danger that was Gwen's throat.
One reflex would be all Gwen needed to send Micro further into her but instead of that Micro found himself being stuck onto one of her teeth with the spit ocean. He was too busy with staying on the surface to notice the tip of Gwen's tongue approaching and so he got caught by surprise when the tongue pressed against him. It was just like a wet, strong hug of sorts until the tongue dragged him upwards across the tooth. Eventually the feeling of the hard tooth in his back was replaced by something way softer until the dragging suddenly stopped. Instead, Micro was pinned between two cells of Gwen's gum. And that was when he realized a way out. If he didn't want to be eaten, he could instead find another way into Gwen's body since he was small enough to squeeze himself between her cells. And if he really managed to make her sick, he could force her to grow him back. Micro knew that his previous attempts didn't quite work, but it was better than being eaten.
However, as soon as he shrunk to 9 nanometer he was too small for the cells to pin him between them and so he fell down from the gum back onto the tongue.
“Well, there is that taste of a liar again. I should get rid of it before I eat the rest of the cake.”
“Just spit me out then. It's faster and easier for both of us.”
“Nope, I have a better idea.”
The mouth opened and allowed Micro to see what was beyond it, a glass full of coke. Moments later the dark, cosmic waves began to rush in. Micro had nowhere to run or hide and so the sweet soda caught him. He couldn't really notice much of what happened after that, except for some sort of drop.
Micro found himself on a landmass that was made of a mix of batter, strawberries, white chocolate and cream. The landmass had the size of a continent to him and there were more of those in the distance, swimming inside an ocean surrounded by fleshy walls. From somewhere far above a new cake continent appeared and dropped into the ocean, causing waves big enough to tilt the entire continent Micro was standing on. This was his reality now, his roommate ate him and so he was stuck within the stomach of a bat girl at a size of 4 nanometer and still shrinking.
“Was eating me really necessary?”
“No, but it was fun. How is it in there?”
“It's hot and it smells like cake in here.”
“Sounds good if you ask me.”
“Get me out of here!”
“Don't worry, I will eventually.”
“Wait, seriously?”
“Of course. And by “I” I mean my body.”
“...I am not going that way!”
“What, do you expect me to throw you up?”
“Yes!”
“Nope, that would be disgusting.”
Micro noticed that the shore of his cake continent was somehow getting closer until he realized that it was just being digested. And so he ran towards the center of the continent.
“And digesting me isn't!?”
“That's just what happens with food. Now stop making it weird and just wait.”
Micro could outrun the digestion of the cake continent for a good while but once he reached 3 nanometer the speed caught up and so it became faster until he reached the size of 1.9 nanometer.
“Good news for you, Micro. It seems like you stopped shrinking.”
“Really? And I was just getting excited to make a virus my new planet.”
“I can just shrink you again in that case.”
Micro made a mental note to not be sarcastic when size machines were involved.
“No, that's not necessary. I mean, you couldn't really interact with me, could you?”
“That is true. Anyway, shut up now, I want to continue the show.”
Micro did so, just to focus on running away from the digestion. But eventually it caught up to him. And so Micro could only witness what Gwen or rather her body would do to him next...

(Meant to get this up sooner than now, but better late than never. And like that, we reached the finale of this little project involving Gwen. Thanks again to for majorly helping with this thing and writing the story down.)
