The Water Challenge

 BUT FIRST, A QUICK MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR:

 This story is legitimately based on a real challenge! The main reason I've squared off a full section of the story is because I wanted to see if any of you lovely readers would actually try this challenge (bonus points if you have 'proof'! )

 The Water Challenge is exactly as it sounds - you have to drink as many glasses of water as possible before calling it quits. Yes, I understand that it's highly dangerous, so any amount more than 10 glasses should be taken with caution, depending on the size of the glass. But if you're willing to take a risk, this is a challenge I definitely recommend accepting!

 So, consider this story as an example. I'd love to see if anyone out there actually decides to take part in the Water Challenge!

 AND NOW, THE STORY.

 -----

 "Welcome back, everyone, to another of my famous Challenge videos!"

 A healthy young woman sits cross-legged on her plush bed, her green eyes sparkling as they face the video camera set up in front of her. Her long brown hair lies in tangles around her pale face, falling down to the collar of her red-and-white striped T-shirt.

 "As you all know, I'm not one to back down from any challenge. From chomping down hot peppers to taking swims in frozen pools, I've seen and swung at 'em all! So many, in fact, that this very episode is... Number 100!"

 She reaches for a bright red party popper, lying casually next to her curvy hip. As she pulls the trigger, a shower of rainbow confetti erupts from the tube, falling gently into scattered piles around the bed.

 "So, in celebration of my many triumphs, I went to every social media site I could to see what challenge you all wanted to see me take up next! I gotta admit, the results were very surprising!

 "All in all, it came down to three options. Coming in at third, with 2,563 votes, was the Clothespin Challenge! With 2,781 votes, the runner-up was the Cookie Challenge! But it seems the clear champion of them all, with an astonishing 3,226 votes, was the Water Challenge!"

 Upon finishing the last sentence, the girl motions towards a large folding tray, carrying something.

 Glistening in the light of the open window is a tall glass of water.

 "Now, obviously, drinking ONE CUP of water is no match for Yours Truly. So, with the help of my boyfriend Brian -" (a hand flashes in front of the camera, forming a thumbs-up) "- I will do my best to drink as many glasses of water as I can!"

 She reaches towards the glass of water with one delicate hand, placing the other on her flat midsection.

 "Let's hope I don't burst on-camera!" she jokes, flashing a joyful smile to her audience.

 The girl then raises the glass to her cherry lips and begins to drink slowly. The amount of water in the cup decreases gradually, until it is eventually empty.

 Setting the cup back on the tray, she motions for her boyfriend to refill it. "Alright, time for Glass Two!"

 Thirty seconds pass. Eventually, the man off-camera returns with two glasses of water. The young woman smiles at him, before beckoning him to continue focusing the camera.

 "I see Brian wants this over as quickly as possible! Well, maybe things should be done a little quicker," she says, before taking another glass in her hand. She begins to chug the contents once more, going slightly faster this time around. Eventually, the glass is drained and replaced by the other cup on the tray, which is emptied just as quickly.

 The brunette motions towards the cameraman once more. As the glasses are taken away, she lets out a cute hiccup, clasping her hand to her mouth and blushing slightly.

 "Excuse me," she chirps.

 The two glasses are set back on the tray once more. Reaching for her fourth cup, the young woman fidgets with the button of her jeans. She is clearly experiencing a small bit of discomfort.

 "Time for Number Four!"

 She gulps down the water in an instant, stopping once to hiccup again. After the fifth cup, her striped shirt begins to strain, revealing the brunette's now slightly bloated belly.

 "Man, I already feel like quitting. But you guys wouldn't let me hear the end of it if I stopped now, would you?" She smiles again, only slightly pained this time. Shortly after speaking, the two glasses have returned to their place on the tray.

 Glass Six is a struggle, as it takes her several more seconds to finish it than the previous ones. Her free hand is seen continuing to tug at the waist of her jeans.

 As she reaches for the next glass, a faintly audible slosh can be heard from the girl's belly. Her cheeks turn a faint red tinge as she notices the gurgling noise.

 "Heh, I guess I can throw whatever dignity I still have out the window," she kids, before beginning to drink the seventh cup of water. The bulge of her stomach grows slightly as she does, but she eventually completes it. Her boyfriend, now aware of what comes next, grabs the glasses and disappears off-screen once more.

 The young woman faces the camera, clearing her throat. "Look, I guess I should have done this at the start of the episode, but I'm gonna thank you guys for all the support. Without you all, I wouldn't be where I am today, doing the same stupid things." She chuckles as the glasses are set back on the tray once more.

 With a glass in hand, she continues to talk between sips. "I mean, this is a milestone I never thought I'd hit!" *sip* "C'mon, a hundred Challenge episodes? That's awesome!" *sip* "You guys are all so amazing, and I mean that sincerely." *sip* 

 *BUHRRP*

 Her hand flies to her mouth in shock, embarrassed at her sudden burp. In a nervous fit of laughter, she sets the empty glass on the table, and retrieves the full one.

 "God, I don't know how much more I can take. I already have a water baby!" she says, setting her free hand on her swollen belly, which jiggles slightly at her touch.

 She drains her cup of water sluggishly, wincing in pain as she retains the urge to gag. Upon finishing, she leans backwards, lying on her bed.

 "Oof... I can't finish now. I gotta get at least one more," the girl moans. As Brian leaves to refill the cups, he moves the camera towards the side of the bed so that her face is still on-screen.

 She turns towards the new location of the camera, blowing a strand of brown hair out of her eyes. "Man, I don't know what you guys want from me. I think I'm gonna be sick." Her hand moves towards her gurgling belly, slowly running along the curve.

 The young woman eventually takes her tenth glass in hand, tightly closing her eyes. "One more... One more, for you guys!" she proclaims, before chugging the flavorless liquid with newfound determination. As she finishes, she lets out a much less ladylike burp, letting the empty glass fall onto the bed.

 "There. I'm sorry I couldn't do more, guys, but I'd probably kill myself if I did. Thank you guys so much for tuning in, and I'll see you all next time!"

 Brian eventually turns the camera off, leaving to place the worn-out glasses into the sink. The girl continues to massage her bulbous gut, blushing deeper with each *SLOSH*-like noise.

 Her belly, disturbed with all this motion and pressure, churns violently, causing the brunette to -

 *GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRP* *SNAP*

 After releasing the titanic belch, the girl's hands fly in opposite directions - one to her tingling lips, the other to her lower abdomen. Just as she suspected, her jeans button is no longer attached to her pants, and her zipper has been pushed all the way down, revealing her stretched white panties.

 "The things I do for my fans," she moans, bashfully caressing her sore abdomen.
