We arrived at the Canterlot Train station at five. I knew the way to Gummy's house by heart, so I got there at five thirty.

I tapped the door. It flung open.

  "SILVY!!!!!!" Gummy tried to hug me, but she couldn't get her hooves halfway around me. "Wowie, wow-wow, you've gained some weight after I last saw ya!" I rolled my eyes.

  "Come on in, girl, all the rest of the fillies are here!" She said, and she tried to drag me inside. So I wouldn't make her use all the strength she could muster, I followed her to her bed room.

  Soft Steps was on the bed. Bella sat next to a bean bag, and Hula was sitting with her back against Gummy's bed, with her hind legs crossed. "HEY, SILVER!!!!" They all smiled.

  Gummy sat next to Soft steps on the bed, and I sat on the bean bag. I had to admit, I looked like I WAS the bean bag. Only wider.

Soft Steps picked up a remote control and a MLH DVD case from behind her. "My Little Human first, then video games?"

"Definitely!!!!" We all chorused.

Two hours and four episodes later, I sighed.

"Silver Spoon, that's the eighth time you've sighed at this party. is everything OK?" Hula Lula asked.

Bella hiccuped after her fifth slice of cheese pizza.

I didn't answer Hula.

"It's OK, Silvy, we're your BFFLs!" Soft Steps said. "Best Friends For Life! You could tell us ANYTHING."

  I spilled everything that was on my mind. About how worried I was about my obesity, Diamond Tiara's teasing, and even Strike.

  "You don't have to worry about your weight, Silvy." Bella squeezed my hoof. "DT's just peanut butter and jealous of you. Because even though your doctor says you're morbidly obese, you're still pretty. The Canterlot Silver Spoon I knew ruled the school and never let other ponies's words bring her down. Ponyville Silver Spoon should handle things just the same."

OMC(Oh My Celestia)!! I was so flattered by my BFF's comments. And Soft Steps, Gummy, and Hula all agreed.

  "As a matter of fact, Silvy," Gummy said. "We all could help you lose weight. My mom Ms.S'mores is the founder of the Canterlot Weight-Loss camp. We could send you weight loss bars in the mail every week and e-mail you tips, challenges, exercises, and lessons about my mom's way to lose weight. How do you think she's half your weight? She does the things you don't, Silver Spoon, and she would be an excellent mentor for you."

"Thanks Gummy, but I might be a bad apprentice." I said. "Look at me, guys. I'm 208 pounds! And Diamond Tiara called and said that when ponies are fat like me, they can't lose the weight quickly."

"So THAT'S what interrupted my call to you." Gummy growled. "That Diamond Tiara character is bad news."

  "What do you think? She's a killer shark in lipstick and designer jewelry. She could afford all that stuff, just like me." I was almost in tears. "She called me ALL the words for 'fat' in the dictionary!!!"

  "Oh no. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, Silvy." Hula tried to give me an awkward one-hoofed hug, but ended up not getting her magenta hoof halfway around me either. Then she whisper/squealed, "And it's SUPER exciting that you have your first crush!"

"Sorry, Gummy. I'll do the weight loss stuff you named." I sniffed.

"It's OK, Silvy." Gummy said. "Ignore Diamond Tiara. She's not worth your time. And besides, you have us good friends!"

"And good friends trump bratty mean girls." Bella commented.

"GROUP HUG!" Soft Steps squealed.

"Silvy, we'll do a group hug around you, since you're the most enormous." Hula joked, and I smiled and rolled my eyes.

I was disgustingly obese. All the fillies had to put their hooves around me for me to fit.

  We turned back on MLH, and I was happy. We all(especially me)pigged out on pizza, candy, cupcakes, and chips. We also painted our hooves, tried on each others's lip gloss, and did cool stuff that girls our age normally did. You know?

  We finished the first season at nine. Then we watched an anime movie and pigged out some more. Gummy got a bowl of cheesy, buttery popcorn and said it was entirely for me. "Don't worry, Silvy." She said. "You could eat your weight in food if you want for the entire time you're in Canterlot until we start your weight loss program. Plus, about the program, anorexia doesn't work. It makes you starve yourself at first then makes you uncontrollably ravenous later."

"Um, Gummy? How long AM I gonna be in Canterlot, exactly?" I shoveled a hoof full of popcorn.

"Today, Saturday, and Sunday morning, of course!" Gummy smiled. "The whole weekend!"

I burped so loud, my lips quivered. It was the sixth time today.

"Told you guys we were going to be hearing a lot of burping from Silver Spoon tonight!" Gummy laughed.

"How come you could burp and I can't?" Bella asked me.

"Oh, you need to have a big gut to burp." I answered. "I have an obese gut, and you have a gut full of pizza, chocolate cupcakes, and other varieties of junk. Just let bubbles come up you throat, like this." I showed her. "And burp! *BUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPP!!!!!"

Bella did what I showed her, and let out a small belch.

"Good!" I clapped my fat hooves together. The fatty tissue waved around.

"Why do you want to burp, anyway?" Hula asked Bella. She was combing her multi-colored bob.

"Dunno." Bella giggled, and burped again on accident this time.

I peeled the wrapper off a chocolate cupcake and swallowed it whole.

  Hula, Gummy, Bella, and Soft Steps played video games. I couldn't, since my hooves were too fat for the buttons. So I sat down and ate and ate and ate.

"Aww, Silver Spoon! You ate up all the rest of the pizza!!" Soft Steps said angrily an hour later. I hiccuped.

"And the cupcakes!" Bella said.

"Yeah, I did-" I interrupted myself by burping loudly. "But don't be mad. Gummy DID say I could eat my weight in food."

"I wish DT's  house was made out of food." Gummy said.

"Gummy, that was, like, SO random." Soft Steps said. "Why?"

"Because... Silvy would give her what she deserves! She'll eat her out of house and home!!" Gummy laughed.

  "Let's not wish for that, now. I know Silvy could eat that much, but she'll weigh as much as that house!" Hula said. "I could imagine Silver Spoon as wide as TWO houses!"

We all laughed at that joke. I deserved this fun with my BFFs. This night was the time of my life.
