"Why did I agree to hang out with this bunch of idiots?" Susan asked herself as she wandered down a hall of the factory. The hall was like a hospital, a steril white color brightly illuminated by the lights above.

"This is such a goddamn drag." She said as she looked around. She didn't see anything fun worth exploring, and would much rather be seeing all the cool things that went on in this factory.  She rounded another corner, no sight of her friends, and she let out a strong sigh.
"I just wanted to take a tour." She mumbled. Suddenly a voice sounded beside her.

"Did someone say tour?" it asked.

She turned and saw a flat screen TV panel on the wall, which wasn't there just moments ago. She glanced at it curiously as the face of a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair appeared on it.

"Where did this come from?" Susan asked.

"Thank you for your interests in Sweetum's Treats." The girl on the screen said with a flick of her hair. She smiled. "You have been taking our self-guided tour through the factory, but we would like to extend a special offer just to you. We would like to invite you to try our newest experience, one that gives you a first hand look at how our products are made. We call it the Sweetum's VR Extended Tour."

"VR." Susan said. "Oh, Virtual Reality."

"We strive to bring you the best tour we can, so this will show you exactly how our delicious treats are made. Please step inside to begin." The girl said as door appeared in the wall and slid open with a hiss like in a science fiction movie.

Susan looked around, thinking about her friends and laughed. "They can wait a bit longer." With that, she stepped forward into the open doorway, which closed shut, then sealed shut, as if no door had ever been there.

Inside the small room, Susan looked around. It looked very futuristic, which was odd compared to the rest of the factory, but she was happy to be show something, anything on this bust of a trip.

"Welcome to the Sweetums VR Extended Tour, where we give you an inside look at how we make our treats using VR Technology!" the same cheery voice rang out. A screen appeared, and the girl smiled at Susan.

"How this works is simple. You select one of our delicious treats that you would like to see made, and our VR process makes it like you are inside the action! Please use our touch screen to make your selection now!"

She vanished and a row after row of treats came into view.  Susan scanned each one, looking for something that stood out to her, and then she saw it, her favorite treat that Sweetums had ever made. She thought they had discontinued the product, but there it was on the list. She smiled and pressed the screen on the area with her desired treat.

"You have selected." The girl's voice said, pausing as the program inserted the actual choice.  "Sweetum's Blueberry Tarts. Excellent Choice. For this tour, we will show you how we get a blueberry tart filled with delicious flavor into one of our tarts. As you can assume, our tarts pastry shells are fairly simple, and as such will not be part of this tour. This tour is all about the blueberry."
"Well that's good, I dig me some blueberries." Susan said, waiting for the VR to begin.

"Before we begin, please sample our pure unrefined blueberry juice. We use this to make the tart taste like no other blueberry product on the market." The voice said as a small hatch opened in the wall and a small shot glass with pure blue liquid came out. Susan thought it was odd that the liquid was blue rather than usual reddish purple tint that blueberry juice leaves. She shrugged, thinking it to be the product of preservatives. She took the shotglass and downed it. The sweet flavor traveled down her throat into her belly. It hit heavily, but she loved it.

"Oh my god, that's good." She said. "I don't think I've had blueberry juice that tasty before."

"Now that you've tried a sample, we are going to show you what it is like to BE a blueberry heading for our tasty tarts. Your tour begins now.

The lighting shifted in the room, and blue laser beams started circling Susan. "Cool Light show" she mused. As the beams of light worked across her body, another voice rang out.

"Blueberry Product Identified. Preparing for Blueberry Tart Process."

She then felt an odd pulse of energy flow through her, sparking a wave of tingles throughout her body. She then looked down and saw that her skin was turning a shade of blue.

"The skin tone is all part of the VR experience. Please relax and enjoy the show" the voice said.

"Never seen VR like this before" Susan said as she watched the blue tone reach every inch of her skin. "Heh, like that Wonka movie." She mused.

She had little idea how ironic that statement was until her belly began to push out of her shirt. She looked down and gasped.

"All Sweetums berries are grown until ripe and plump. The following demonstration is an extrapolation of that. " the computer said as the girl's butt began to expand as well. Her clothes felt tight as the body grew larger and larger. She could hear liquid sloshing around as she began to feel the heft of her belly wobbling around. It felt good, better than she would liked to have admit. Her chest began to expand as well, which to her was amazing.

"Now this part I wish was real." She laughed as she moved her hands from her huge belly to her expanding tits. She rubbed them and let out a moan as the blue orbs swelled underneath her fingers.

"Expediting process." The computer said. Instantly the tingles felt stronger, and her body began to swell faster.

"Oh wow!" she said, her body feeling every sensation. "This is amazing. I wonder how they make it feel so real!" she said as she felt her arms starting to puff up with the liquid, her legs quick to follow. Her clothing began to rip and then soon shredded as her body grew and grew. Her cheeks plumped up and she could bearly speak. "Oh wow." She mumbled as the feelings coursed through her. She felt her arms beginning to pull into her now rotund frame, as were her legs.  Like the girl in that film she remembered, she felt her outer limbs pull into divots in her round body as it grew larger and larger.

"This room is big, thank god for that." She mused. "If this were real, I'd be freaking the hell out right now." She added as hands pulled into the diviot, leaving wiggling stubby digits. Her feet did the same, her toes wiggling as her body sat down on the floor. Her vagina had grown larger, which she noticed because of the pleasure coursing through it. Blue juice leaked out through her strained panties onto the floor of the room. The panties soon snapped, as did her bra, leaving her naked as could be, but she hardly looked like a woman any more. Her breasts began to sort of flatten and receed as they grew, as if the blue body was absorbing them. Her crotch went through a similar change, and one last swell of pleasure burst through her as the slit sealed itself shut, removing gender from the equation. Susan felt another tingle rumble through her now spherical body as the computer spoke again.

"Now comes the part where you experience life as a real blueberry. You are currently over…7 feet…high" the machine said as it calculated how large she had swollen. "Real blueberries are much smaller."

The tingles grew to a crescendo, the girl moaning as loudly as she could through her bloated cheeks.  The room then began to grow larger around her. She helplessly flapped her fingers, wondering when the tour would end. She was having fun being turned into whatever it was she was in this simulation, but she knew she had to get out and help find her friends.  Soon she was half the size she was when the shrinking began, a mere 3 and a half foot high. She looked around at the room and giggled. "Wow, it looks so large. I always wondered what things would look like as a midget."

The strange chemicals flowing through her body were starting to effect her mind slightly as she grew smaller with each passing second. "Oh, that's right. I'm going to be a blueberry in a tart. I need to be tiny." She laughed. She was now no larger than your average soccer ball.

She then felt her hands pulling in further, and as they did, the rest of her flesh grew around them, making them vanish as smooth blue skin took their place. Her feet tingled as the same process took place with them. In moments, she was nothing but a round blue ball besides her head. Her hair began to turn a slightly darker shade of blue than the rest of her, and stood up stiff as it did, forming a sort of crown. Her head pulled deeper into the divot of the blue body as the shrinking sped up, bringing her down to golf ball size, and then with a final lurch, to the size of a proper blueberry. The room surrounding her was huge now as she looked around.

"Okay, this has been fun, but can I wrap this up?" she asked. No response came. Her voice was so tiny, no one, not even the computer could hear her.

"Now that optimal size and shape has been reached, we will send the product to the bakery." The computer said.

"No, I really don't think…" Susan said as she felt the ground beneath her tiny swollen body begin to rumble. Suddenly, a hole slightly bigger than herself opened beneath her, and she felt herself falling.

"AHH!" she gasped as her body began to tumble and roll through a small tube to another part of the factory.

"Wait! No! Stop! I want to get off!" she screamed. Something told her that the simulation was more real than she had expected, and she wanted to turn it off nut now she was rolling swiftly towards her next destination, wherever that may be.

Moments later, a small opening formed beneath her as she rolled downwards, and she fell into what looked like a large container filled with other small orbs the same size as her. As she landed, she heard a squeak. She turned to see another girl like her, totally spherical besides a partially obscured face.

"Oh, are you a blueberry for the tarts too?!" the girl asked happily.

"Uh..." Susan said, not sure what to say.

"Oh, isn't it great. I loved shrinking down to proper blueberry size. Don't you just want to be the best blueberry you can be?"

Susan had noted that she did want to be a perfect blueberry since the shrinking had started, but now that this thought was brought to her attention, it horrified her.

"This is a simulation. It will all be over soon."

"Oh, silly. That's not true. We are blueberries. I used to be a girl, I came to this factory on a dare, but…now I'm a berry. A cute one too. I think my final stage is getting closer! I can feel my..ahhh here it goes. Goodbye. My head is shrinking." She giggled.

Susan watched in horror as the girl's head shrank smaller and smaller, except for the crown of blue bits on the top. Soon the speck of a head vanished, leaving nothing but flat fruit.

"Oh Christ! This is real! I'm a berry!" she screamed. "Someone help me! Oh god! Is anybody here!"

No response, and she began to panic. She looked around at the hundreds of berries she sat on, and wondered how many had fallen prey to the trap she had. She wanted to hop up and run out, but she now simply fruit besides her head, and she knew that was going to go away soon. She closed her eyes and began to sob quietly as the voice of the computer could be heard. "Final ingredient added. Batch to be prepared momentarily."

A slight tug made Susan realize her head was shrinking smaller. She looked around, taking in one last look before sight vanished. She didn't know why she was different from the girl before her, why this didn't seem normal or fun, but she wished it was that easy for her. Her last thought was how horrible her fate was. "I'm going to be eaten. Fuck."

Soon, no trace of Susan remained. The clothes she had left in the VR room had vanished, taken away by the computerized factory systems, and the girl sat on top of a bucket of berries that was soon dumped into a large pot and mixed with sugar and boiling water to create the filling for the tarts. As the berry was dolloped into one of the shells, a voice came over the speakers. "I hope you enjoyed the Sweetups VERY REAL Extended Tour. We put the VR in Very Real."

The tart made it's way to packaging, and was later boxed for shipping. Ironically, her shipment was sent to her home town. Perhaps she was eaten by an old flame, or friend. Nobody really knows what becomes of the treats from Sweetums Factory except that they don't last long when someone buys them.
