Guts and Gloria
[At her house...]
``Let's see our work. *She jiggles her new fat* Perfect, just the type of fat they'll accept,'' thought Gloria before heading off. [Meanwhile in Pudgyville...]
``Oh my, dahling. So this is the new pony,'' remarked Rainbow Dash.
``Aren't you looking shiny and equally delightful,'' stated Jasmine.
``I do love having a round rainbow rear,'' remarked Rainbow Dash.
``I meant your belly too,'' added Jasmine.
``Why of course, dear. My belly is just as beautiful. Plenty of bounce and jiggle per step,'' stated Rainbow Dash.
``Yes, yes, yes, we're one BIG happy family,'' agreed Razzaroo.
``I'll say,'' remarked Jasmine.
``I've never seen such a large pony before,'' said Star Swirl in awe.
``I guess I'm a first here,'' shrugged Jasmine.
``Sure hope you won't be a last,'' said Starbeam.
``Excuse me, I'd like to be a part of the town,'' called a voice.
``Hello, and who might you be?'' asked Bright Eyes.
``I'm Gloria,'' answered Gloria.
``Welcome to Pudgyville, Gloria. You sure do have the body to stay,'' greeted Eduardo.
``Yeah, sure. I'm thrilled to be here,'' said Gloria nervously.
``Don't be nervous, Gloria. We're all friendly here. We built this town for ponies just like you to be accepted for who they are,'' assured Melody.
``Well okay, see ya,'' said Gloria before leaving.
``Don't you want to see the town?'' asked Starlight.
``I've heard a lot of this town already. It's been on the news and whatnot,'' explained Gloria.
``It sure has,'' agreed Melody. *Gloria walks away with a smirk*
``Gloria to Stella,'' whispered Gloria on her walkie-talkie from her jail cell.
``Stella here. Are you successful?'' answered Stella quietly.
``No problem, they don't suspect a thing,'' assured Gloria secretly.
``Perfect, the trap is already activated. Figures they're incapable of not realizing a trick this elaborate. Good work, Gloria. Stella out,'' replied Stella softly.
``Alright, now we can resume our quest to find out who stole the food,'' announced Bright Eyes.
``What? How do they know about that?'' questioned Gloria to herself.
``We can rule out pretty much the entire town because none of us would think to steal so much that the rest of us can't have any. Plus we'd find out more quickly because they'd be carrying it,'' concluded Bright Eyes.
``We also know it can't be the Calorie Stealers because they're all still in jail,'' added Melody.
``Well someone truly new must've done it then, either by accident or otherwise,'' suggested Sweetheart.
``We can also rule out Jasmine because she admitted it wasn't her,'' reminded Bon Bon.
``Would Gloria know anything about this?'' asked Clover.
``How could she? She just got here,'' protested Melody.
``If only they knew that I ate what was necessary and stashed the rest back at my house,'' thought Gloria with a smirk.*The groups' bellies rumble*
``Great, now we're hungry, which isn't going to make it any easier to solve the mystery,'' moaned Melody.
``Think guys. Where was the food last?'' demanded Bon Bon.
``In the fields, why?'' asked Starlight.
``Are we sure it's really missing?'' asked Melody.
``Well yeah, we saw nothing but the fields where the food used to be,'' answered Starlight.
``I may be losing that pound or two after all at this rate,'' sighed Jasmine.
``It's not over yet, Pudgyville'ers. We'll make sure this town gets its food back,'' assured Eduardo.
