Battle of the Bulge II: Fit to be Fat (3)
[At the ice cream shop…]
“You guys ought to check this out,” said Melody running out of breath.
“What, Mel?” asked Starlight.
“There’s another new pony in town named Lickety Split,” explained Melody.
“What’s she like?” asked Bright Eyes.
“According to what she told me, she loves ice cream sundaes,” replied Melody.
“Says here in the Ponyville Database that she eats one each day,” remarked Bright Eyes.
“Every day? Wow it must be easy for her to keep her weight up and I bet she and I would be great friends,” said Bon Bon.
“Wait until she sees that we have an ice cream shop,” said Starlight.
“Maybe she already knows about it?” suggested Sweetheart.
“Knows about what?” asked Lickety Split coming over.
“Welcome to the ice cream shop, I’m Starlight and these are my friends Clover, Bon Bon, Patch, Bright Eyes, Sweetheart and Melody. Welcome to Pudgyville’s very own ice cream shop,” answered Starlight.
“So there is an ice cream shop here,” analyzed Lickety Split.
“You must be one hungry pony to eat an ice cream sundae each day,” said Bright Eyes. *Lickety Split sits down*
“Can’t get enough of them,” said Lickety Split rubbing her plump belly.
“It certainly shows right there,” remarked Melody.
“Oh, I see I’m not alone in being overweight,” noticed Lickety Split.
“Absolutely, we love being overweight ourselves,” said Bon Bon.
“You all seem proud to show off your growing waistlines like that,” figured Lickety Split.
“You bet, and best of all, that isn’t going to change,” answered Melody.
“I should hope not, especially if you’re all happy this way,” said Lickety Split.
“How are my dahlings today?” asked Rainbow Dash walking up with her friends.
“Great, Rainbow Dash, why not meet our new friend Lickety Split?” suggested Starlight.
“Hello, dear. Oh and I see you’ve been working on your beautifully plump belly,” greeted Rainbow Dash.
“How do you get it so smooth?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“Mostly milkshakes and sundaes. They’re great for hot days and keep my weight right where my belly is smooth and round,” replied Lickety Split.
“That must be a great feeling,” said Sunny-Daze.
“It’s the very best. Nothing like feeling your own weight move with you with each step and sit in your lap when you get tired. Might I say nice outfits,” answered Lickety Split.
“They’re great, aren’t they? Too bad I don’t have my old swimsuit anymore, the black one with the gold star on both the top and bottom halves. It was great wearing it these past few years but I had to get rid of it because I outgrew it. It was my Rockin’ Beats outfit for outdoor concerts,” replied Melody.
“My blue one still fits but it’s not far from being tossed out too,” added Bon Bon.
“I think I need a new one too. My pink one is barely noticeable against my skin,” agreed Starlight.
“Same with my maroon one. My mom forbids me to wear it now,” said Clover.
“And my purple one. The bottom half is falling apart,” added Patch.
“My hot pink one is truly fine but I don’t have any idea why, though I guess I don’t mind,” said Sweetheart.
“Mine’s fine too. Must’ve been different sizes or something,” shrugged Bright Eyes.
“We use that shiny lotion Starlight showed me a couple of years ago called Shine-On and I think that’s why ours are still fine,” said Pinkie Pie.
“Something that’ll make us look good and preserve our tight outfits?! This is a must have!” said Melody excitedly.
“You can all head over there and get some. I already have my own,” said Starlight.
“Well what are we waiting for then? Let’s go get some!” declared Sunny-Daze. *They race off*
