Marry and Jen get the chance to earn some easy cash just by testing and promoting some new blueberry gum.  There can't possibly be a catch right?  (This story is currently in early access on my Patreon and will come to DA on Oct 1st)

             “Hey, ugh.” Marry clutched her stomach again. “Why is my body doing jumping jacks?” She shook her head.  “I think it’s passed now.  Ahhh!” She noticed blue spots appearing on the back of her right hand.  “Hey, what is this.” She held both of her hands in front of her back.  “My hands are turning blue!”

             Jen laughed.  “Stop trying to get attention over there.”

             Marry jumped to her feet.  “I am serious.  Look at me.”

             Jen turned her head.  “Wow.  Did you paint your hands and arms blue to get a one-up on me?”

             Marry looked at herself.  “My arms!  What is happening to me.”

             Jen laughed.  “I think you are just cheating at this to earn more money than me.” She turned her head back to the window.  “Now stop bothering me.  I am trying to out-perform you here.”

             “Jen, this is serious.  I think there is something wrong with the gum.”

             “Then spit it out like I have been doing so you can get a new one.” Marry watched as Jen spat her gum out the window.

             “Why are you doing that?”

             Jen turned her head.  “Because while this is very, very good gum, there is no gum on earth that will lose its taste after fifteen bites.  It is just not possible.”

             Marry shook her head and sat back down in her seat. “These sticks of gum don’t lose their taste.  But maybe I should have been a bit safe and taken the gum out early.” She looked at her arms.  ‘I mean, look at me.  I look bluer than the sky on a clear day.  At least there is still time.” She gulped as the bus suddenly hit a bump in the road.  “Oh, crap.” She felt her throat as the gum traveled downward.  “That isn’t good.”
