Ring in the New Year
[At Melody's house...]
``Perfect. My new belly button ring is surrounded by fat and it looks great for New Years Day,'' thought Melody.
``Good morning, dear and happy New Years. Why do you need a belly button ring anyway?'' called her mother entering the room.
``That's easy, mom. What better way to show off that one is fat than with a belly button ring. Think about it. When these appear from underneath our shirt, you know there's plenty of visible belly,'' explained Melody.
``I guess, dear but remember to be careful with it. You might end up with it tearing into your skin if you fall,'' warned her mother.
``Mom, I walk slow enough as it is. Any slip and fall won't amount to much of an injury,'' insisted Melody.
``I sure hope you're right. I'm off to work, alright?'' answered her mom.
``Alright, mom,'' called Melody back. [The next day outside school...]
``Neat belly button ring, Mel,'' remarked Bright Eyes.
``It's so cute the way it's nestled inside your belly button like that,'' stated Sweetheart.
``It's better once I sit down,'' added Melody before doing so.
``You're right. Now you've got that belly bulge almost hiding it,'' agreed Starlight.
``I've heard stories about ponies that wear belly button rings and how they end up completely disappearing inside their body,'' said Clover.
``Oh come on, Clover, that can't happen, not with mine,'' protested Melody.
``Melody's right, it's ridiculous,'' added Bright Eyes.
``Seems like this class is always a little chatty before my lessons but I see why. It's your new belly button ring, Melody,'' noted Sheila.
``Yup, just got it in for the new year,'' explained Melody. *Sheila walks closer*
``My my it is a beauty and it's the swinging kind so it'll move as your belly moves and your belly will surround it with fat, lovely. You know, I've never had a belly button ring myself, or any kind of piercing for that matter but given all of yours' desires to be fat, it makes it more appealing in my book,'' said Sheila.
``I've heard they also are great indicators for when their outfits expose their belly fat,'' said Lancer.
``That's definitely true, Lancer. Once it gets exposed, you know you're in for a treat,'' agreed Sheila.
``Did it hurt getting it put in?'' asked Bon Bon.
``A tiny bit but I guess I didn't feel it at all,'' answered Melody.
``I don't think they're truly for me either. I like having my entire big belly clear of any piercing,'' stated Sweetheart.
``That's understandable, Sweetheart. Not everyone likes the thought of something new poking their skin,'' nodded Sheila.
``It's great that we all have innie belly buttons so we can have these sit where we want them, if we want them,'' assured Bright Eyes.
``I certainly hope you're all having a good start to the new year. I'll see you soon,'' called Sheila as she walks away.
``I think I know what our New Year's Resolutions are.....stay fat,'' figured Melody.
``It's one we never have to change,'' agreed Patch.
``We'll always remember it as long as we stay fat,'' finished Pinkie Pie.
``Your belly ring is stunning, dear,'' noted Rainbow Dash.
``Thanks, I love it too,'' replied Melody.
``A belly button ring, huh? I have one of those myself, more of a mini hoop,'' said Jasmine.
``I kind of like yours better. It really lets the belly take over,'' remarked Melody.
``It's almost like I don't have one but at the same time adds new dimension,'' sighed Jasmine.
``It's great, Jasmine,'' said Ace.
``Hope it doesn't break or anything, given your weight,'' speculated Lancer.
``Oh I think it can handle just fine and I think we're going to have an amazing new year,'' thought Jasmine.
