Four Pounds and Several Days Ago
[At their clubhouse...]
``At this meeting of the clubhouse, I propose we think back to when we first started this journey to being fat,'' declared Starlight.
``That was quite the journey. Does anyone remember the full story? No pun intended of course,'' replied Bon Bon.
``I remember it like it was yesterday. It was merely by accident when I discovered how full I was one day after eating lunch with you guys. We all happened to look down to see that our bellies had expanded to the point where our outfits couldn't restrain them. We all thought it felt good to be stuffed for a period of time but at the same time, there wasn't any way to keep that feeling once it went away. It was then that we decided that we had to find another way to sort of keep this as a reminder of our progress,'' began Bright Eyes.
``It sure took a while for our parents to just accept what we had decided to do,'' added Melody.
``I was grounded for a week because my parents were disappointed in my eating habits,'' groaned Clover.
``My parents actually seemed to think it was pretty much what fit who I am but thought I should watch how much of it I ate,'' replied Bon Bon.
``Teddy didn't truly like it because it wasn't soft like I was or like my belly is now,'' recalled Sweetheart.
``So what made the transfer from being stuffed to just being fat?'' asked Melody.
``Well we all knew we had to change what we ate but still keep it filling. In other words, it had to be food that could give us that desired feeling without needing much food. That's where we came up with ice cream. All of us knew that it wasn't hard to eat and simply just packed on the pounds and we gave that a try as an experiment. Sure enough, it worked and by the week's end, we were no longer had that almost pregnant belly but a much softer and jiggly belly and that's how our weight gain began,'' answered Bright Eyes.
``That was wonderful, dahlings. Ours is a similar story but our Pinkie Pie got us started because of her love for pink. She thought there wasn't enough pink so she found these doughnuts with pink frosting and pretty much ate until she was full. We all loved what it had done to her body and gave her method a try for ourselves. It was a lovely experience that has made us better and of course more loved by our dear friends,'' stated Rainbow Dash.
``Kind of ironic when our Pinkie Pie couldn't put on a single pound, even after all the sweets she ate at Mr and Ms Cake's bakery,'' stated Applejack.
``We just basically accept that it's Pinkie Pie being herself since she pretty much defies all logic and reason for why her weight never increased until now,'' added Twilight.
``I'm ready with your potions. It's power takes just a few moments,'' said Zecora arriving with a large bag around her neck. *The group drinks them*
``Aw yeah! Now injuries will be softened, so to speak,'' said (Rainbow Dash).
``At least injuries from the areas with the added weight that is,'' added Twilight.
``I'm pleased to see that the potions are working perfectly,'' remarked Zecora. *The alarm at the gate's entrance goes off and several of the ponies rush over* [At the entrance...]
``Apple Bloom, what're y'all doin' here?'' asked Applejack.
``Why ain't ya in Ponyville no more?'' asked Apple Bloom.
``Listen, we don't have much of a choice. Seein' as how Rarity and Zecora desire to be in here, we gotta be in there too. Y'all can come in provided you can keep my weight up,'' replied Applejack.
``Weight up? How about weight down?'' questioned Scootaloo.
``Is that.....Rarity.......in a small red outfit.........and a much larger frame?'' asked Sweetie Belle.
``Sweetie Belle, dear, it's alright. This is the new kind of fashion here. I don't have to worry about clothes fitting these ponies because they love tight outfits,'' explained (Rarity). *The Cutie Mark Crusaders cautiously walk inside*
``So wait, we gotta make sure you all are constantly fat?'' asked Apple Bloom.
``Well, each of ya just need to keep your sister's weight balanced. So y'all keep mine balanced, Sweetie Belle goes to Rarity and Scootaloo gets to pick for herself whom she wants,'' explained Applejack.
``Could that be our talent?'' asked Scootaloo.
``I don't know, maybe. It doesn't seem that hard but what would we get as a cutie mark?'' replied Apple Bloom.
``A scale?'' suggested Scootaloo.
``A tape measure!'' added Sweetie Belle.
``Aren't those for keepin' ponies thin?'' asked Apple Bloom.
``Nothing says they can't be for fat ponies so let's help out!'' replied Scootaloo.
