The brown and cream soundbyte opened their eyes wide as they stared at their hands. "Wait... what the heck happened to my hands?!"

He felt a heavy hand on his shoulder, followed by a soft, fluffy mass pressing into his side. Jolting his head to the side, he saw a black and green soundbyte staring at him. "Oooooh, sorry that happened. Did you read my personal playlist uncondensed, Chase?"

"What... does that even mean, Chomby?" Chase asked. He scowled. "You gave me a thumb drive and I listened to the music in the zip file! How did you even fit so much music into-"

Chomby put a finger to Chase's lips, silencing him. "Didn't I warn you to not listen to ALL of it?"

"No, you just said, 'here, you wanted my personal favorites, so here's my mix.'" Chase said with a huff.

"Oh..." Chomby pushed himself off of Chase, now standing upright as his belly continued ot press into Chase's sides. "Well, uh... good news, you're a Soundbyte."

"Sounds like you have bad news."

"Bad news, you're stuck as a Soundbyte forever. What kinda name do you want? You look like an... Echo. Can I call you Echo?"

"What?!" Chase tried to push Chomby away, eyes filling with confusion. To his dismay, Chomby's belly was too soft to fully push him back. "Fix me, Chomby! I can't be a soundbyte!"

"Why not?" Chomby asked.

"Because I..." Chase tried to think of an answer, but he couldn't think of anything. He closed his mouth and looked down. "What do I do now?"

"Well, Echo, find music you like and listen to it. Be careful, too much of a good thing adds to your belly size! Otherwise, you should be okay!" Chomby patted Echo's shoulder.

"Do I have a permanent scowl like you?" Echo asked.

Chomby seemed to attempt to change his expression, though it stayed angry. "No... that's just me."
