Captured

Twilight lay on one of the couches, wincing in pain as her stomach complained about being overfull once again. Approximately three hours had passed, and two tiers remained on the cake. Currently, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were eating.

The cyan pegasus, once she had recovered, had discovered that her stomach had stretched as she had grown. She was easily matching Pinkie bite for bite, and the two were already almost finished what was left of the smallest tier left.

Twilight watched in fascination as Rainbow's large gut rounded more as each bite passed her lips, watching as the once jiggling mass became hard and smooth. Pinkie's stomach seemed to be stretched to capacity, but she still ate on. Twilight looked to her other side, to see Fluttershy asleep on her bed, stomach gurgling as it tried to process the abundance of food it had been subjected to. Rarity was on the couch opposite of Twilight, rubbing her own distended gut in an attempt to stop its angry protests.

Pinkie finally pulled away from the cake once the tier was eaten, "I can't eat anymore..." Her voice was strained and exhausted. She stumbled to her own bed, a large pink monstrosity that was positioned beside the kitchen. She lay down with a moan, and shut her eyes.

Twilight turned her attention to Rainbow, who had started on the largest, and final, tier of cake. Rainbow had slowed down considerably, but was still making progress. Twilight sighed, and forced herself to her feet. None of the others were dealing as well with the rapid expansion of their stomachs, but Twilight had always loved food. She had been eating fancy feasts with Princess Celestia most of her life, and the only reason she hadn't become grossly fat, was because of the exercise routine she had followed while studying with the princess.

As such, Twilight knew her stomach was larger than Fluttershy's or Rarity's, so despite her discomfort, Twilight began to eat the cake again. It was a sweet pastry, with thick, fluffy frosting that Pinkie Pie only knew how to make. Three hours ago, it had tasted heavenly, despite the circumstances. Now, it tasted like doom to Twilight, no matter how much her taste buds revelled in the taste.

Twilight had to give it to Rainbow, though. Whatever spell their captor had used had ended up working in their favour. Rainbow had eaten more then Pinkie, and was now only stumbling away from the cake to go lay down. Her coat and mane had flecks of cake and frosting throughout, but the pegasus didn't seem to care.

Twilight forced herself to eat for some minutes, and was surprised when Rarity and Fluttershy soon joined her. Twilight had thought that her two delicate friends would not be able to eat anymore, but here they were, helping her eat the enormous cake with a gusto that surprised her.

Another long while passed. All six of the ponies were eating, and only a small portion of cake remained. Fluttershy looked ready to pass out from both exhaustion and pain, while Rarity just looked nauseous. Twilight herself felt nauseous, but pushed through her discomfort. She wasn't sure how much time they had left, but it couldn't be more than another hour or two. Twilight had to bow out, swallowing hard to keep the cake down.

As the last bite passed into Fluttershy's mouth, the static filled the room.

"You ponies just finished, I see."

Twilight groaned, and winced as she settled herself on the nearest couch.

"You ponies are exhausted, and overfull. Perhaps I pushed you too hard. Here, I'll help."

All six ponies were suddenly surrounded by the light blue magic, and all of them felt immediately better. They were no longer tired, and their overstuffed stomachs finally stopped complaining. Twilight felt a sudden warm feeling that permeated her whole body, then looked down.

Her whole body seemed to be covered in at least an inch of fat. Looking around, she noticed her friends fared no better, and Pinkie and Rainbow seemed to have gained at least a few pounds more than the others.

Pinkie looked little changed, though Twilight could see her stomach was starting to jiggle. Rainbow looked only a little heavier than before, carrying maybe another five pounds. All six of the friends sighed in relief, then Rarity winced as she realized that she had had to have gained at least three or four pounds herself.

"There, you ponies should feel better now. How about I set another challenge to keep you occupied while I'm gone?"

All six groaned in unison, just because they felt better didn't mean they wanted to eat anything else in the near future. Twilight could hear the smile growing on their captor's face.

"I'm glad to know you ponies feel so enthused. Don't worry, though. This will be good for you, I promise."

Twilight internally rolled her eyes, as if whatever this man had done had been healthy.

"I want you to find all the healthy food in this room, then put it on the kitchen table."

Twilight stood, then trudged silently into the kitchen. Applejack followed suit, leaving the others to watch and give their opinions on certain food items. Soon, a pile was made on the table, of all of the food that could be considered healthy, even though none of it really was.

"Good. Now, Twilight. You seem to be the leader of this group. I want you to eat all of this within the next two days. If you fail, your pet dragon will be exiled to the badlands."

Twilight felt almost all of her emotions at once, feeling angry and hateful toward the voice, but happy knowing Spike was still alright. Twilight swallowed, then sat at the kitchen table.

The static stopped shortly after she began, and Twilight ate and ate, with the encouragement of her friends, for quite a long time before collapsing on her couch. Fluttershy began to quietly massage the purple pony's stomach, "I'm sorry, Twilight."

"Don't be... soon we'll all be huge."

"How is he feeding us?" Applejack suddenly asked, "We've been eating massive amounts of food for at least four days now, and we haven't run out."

"Maybe he replaces it when we sleep?" Rarity supplied.

"Nah! I bet the cupboards and fridge magically replenish themselves whenever they are closed!" Pinkie exclaimed.

Rainbow blinked, "That could be it. It would make sense, so he doesn't have to risk coming in here."

"Well, we emptied out that far cupboard, go open it," Applejack said.

Rainbow struggled to her feet, then lumbered over to the cupboard Applejack had mentioned. She opened it, and her jaw dropped, "It's full. Nice hunch, Pinkie."

"No problem!" The pink pony smiled.

Twilight burped, "Sorry girls."

"Don't worry about it, Twilight."

"How am I supposed to eat all of this?"

"Ah don't know, Twilight.... We'll help when we can, though."

"How?"

"I'll keep massaging your tummy," Fluttershy said quietly.

"I'll help keep you hydrated," Rainbow said, smiling through a mouthful of marshmallows she had pulled out of a cupboard.

"How can you eat?" Applejack asked.

Rainbow shrugged, "I'm hungry."

"Thinking about it, I'm rather peckish myself," Rarity said. She stood, and began to eat the marshmallows with Rainbow.

Applejack rolled her eyes, "Ah wish we knew who this pony was, or at least have some contact with the others. Ah'm dreadfully worried about Apple Bloom and Big Mac."

"I'm worried about Sweetie Belle. I hope they're all okay."

Fluttershy smiled weakly, "C'mon, girls. Let's cook breakfast so we can eat a little with Twilight."

"You don't have too-" Twilight protested.

Fluttershy shook her head, "It's no problem. Really, I'm sure we can cook something nice, and you can keep eating your food."

Twilight cast a look at the large pile, groaning at the thought of eating it all in two days.

"You can do it, Sugarcube. We'll help you whenever we can," Applejack smiled, "Now, what do we have to eat? All of your munching is making me hungry too."

(LINE BREAK)

Twilight sighed, wincing as her stomach shifted. After her stomach had calmed down, and the others made their breakfast, she began to eat again. Tearing into another apple muffin, Twilight sighed as another wave of warmth slowly washed over her body.

She opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by the blue glow again, and watched as her body expanded a little. The magic faded, and Twilight felt ravenous once again. She tore open a package of dried fruit, not even bothering to read the packaging anymore. Twilight ate and ate, until her stomach had bloated so much that it was pushing into the table.

With a loud burp, Twilight sighed, and looked at the food that was left, which wasn't much. There were a few more packets of dried fruit, another stack of various muffins, and a large bowl of expensive fruit left.

"How did I eat all that?" Twilight asked dully, wincing at the sight of her enlarged stomach.

"Ah don't know, sugarcube. All ah know, is that you just ate more food than Ah thought possible."

Twilight smiled weakly, "I'll be okay, just.. ooph..."

"You have lots of time, Twilight," Fluttershy reassured, "Go have a nap. I'll clean up the table, and we'll wake you in a little bit."

Twilight nodded, eyes falling shut in exhaustion. She stumbled to her bed on the far side of the room, grimacing as she jostled her stomach.

Fluttershy watched her friend fall asleep, then set about cleaning up the wrappers, and wiping off the table with a cloth. She hummed to herself, and soon set about cleaning the kitchen as well.

Rarity sighed, "I think I should make something. Maybe I'll make a dress for you, Rainbow."

Rainbow shook her head, "No thanks. As soon as we get outta here, I'm gonna go on a strict diet and exercise regime, and I don't want anything to remind me that I was ever this size."

Rarity shrugged, "What about you, Pinkie?"

Pinkie smiled, "Sure!"

Rarity smiled, and began to plan a dress for her bubbly pink friend, occasionally having to take new measurements of the plumper Pinkie. Pinkie, for once, stayed mostly still, only twitching or moving if she became uncomfortable.

It was only a few moments later when Twilight was once again covered in the light blue aura. She expanded a little more, but didn't wake up at all. Rarity felt her heart grow cold, worrying that not only her friends would be fattened, but she herself would be.

Rainbow was laying on a couch, an open bag of potato chips near one hoof, and the other poised to turn the page of the newest Daring Do book. Applejack was pacing the kitchen nervously, wincing as her new squishiness pressed into a leg, or her stomach jiggled a little.

Rarity was suddenly jerked from her reverie when she realized that everyone, including herself, was surrounded by the blue aura. Rarity almost bent double with a sudden, ravenous hunger. She set down her tools, and Pinkie took off the dress.

Twilight sat up, stomach growling loud. She walked to the table, and began to shove food into her mouth. Rainbow set the book down, and was now solely focused on the large bag of chips, shovelling mouthful after mouthful into her working jaws.

Applejack was sorting through the cupboards, bringing forth the pre-packaged food, and set it on the counter. Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack began to choose their favourite foods, and eating with appetites they didn't know they had.

Soon, however, Twilight and Rainbow were done with their food, and joined their friends in eating everything they could manage.

All the while, the blue aura never left the ponies, as they mindlessly ate, and ate, and ate.

An Unknown Amount of Time Later:

Twilight stared in shock all around her.

The first thing that caught her attention, was the mess the room was in. Crumbs dusted almost every available surface, and wrappers and containers were littered everywhere. On the furniture, on tables, on the beds, on the floor. Twilight knew that if she walked anywhere, she would step on some type of garbage.

The next thing that Twilight noticed, was the rather large gut that now touched each of her legs. Twilight carefully heaved herself off her bed, wincing at the rustling of wrappers. She waddled toward the bathroom, and looked in the mirror, only to stare in shock at her reflection.

Her face had ballooned outward, leaving her with a serious double chin, and fat chipmunk cheeks that poofed outward. Her chest had thickened, and her stomach easily rested near her knees. She twisted around, only to notice that it was her massive plot that had gained the most since she blacked out. It had at least tripled in size, and Twilight briefly wondered how she was still mobile.

A loud scream made her waddle as quick as she could to the main room, only to stare wide-eyed at a hysterical Rarity. The fashion conscious unicorn sported a huge belly larger than Twilight's, with thick tree-trunk legs to match. Rarity now sported a double chin as well, with chubby cheeks that wobbled as she sobbed.

Twilight's eyes were drawn to Fluttershy next, who looked little changed from her face, to her waist. After that, she had clearly gained a lot of weight as a very bottom heavy mare. Her legs were large, and her plot looked bigger than Twilight's. She was breathing heavily, and sitting on the edge of her bed, trying to comfort Rarity.

Pinkie Pie's bed was on the other side of Rarity's, and she was struggling to get her hooves under her to go to her friend's aid. She had gained weight everywhere, making her look like a round, fuzzy, pink cylinder. Her legs were big, her plot was big, her stomach was touching her knees, and her face was round. Her chest was rounder than before, and Twilight doubted she could bounce anymore.

Applejack was already waddling toward Rarity, trying to comfort her friend. Applejack had gained a lot of weight in her stomach, as it pressed into her legs, and dragged across the ground, which slowed Applejack's gait even more. Her legs had thickened, and she sported a double chin as well, but her plot hadn't expanded much.

Finally, Twilight noticed Rainbow. She hadn't gotten up, and in fact, looked ready to burst into tears herself. Twilight realized that Rarity was in good hands, and waddled to Rainbow.

"What's wrong?"

"I-I don't think I can get up, Twi," Rainbow said, voice cracking.

Twilight took in the immense amount of weight Rainbow had gained, knowing that she was the largest of them before. Rainbow was sitting in bed, much like she had been when she had broken her wing. Her stomach engulfed her thick hind legs, and her front legs were pushed to the side by her chest and stomach. Her face was almost perfectly spherical, and several chins were squashed around her face. Her chins were drooping, and were quivering. Twilight realized Rainbow was crying silently.

Twilight moved to the side of Rainbow's bed, only to stare when she noticed that it was Rainbow's massive backside that was holding her in a sitting position. It was pressed into the headboard, and looked ready to start dripping off the sides.

"You'll be alright, Rainbow. I'm sure when we get out, that Princess Celestia will be able to help."

Rainbow sobbed, "I'm not gonna be a Wonderbolt ever!"

"Oh, don't worry. You mares aren't the only ones that are expanding!"

All six ponies stopped, and stared at the cameras that were closest to them. None of them had noticed the static that signalled their captor was going to talk to them.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked cautiously. She found herself suddenly out of breath, noticing that her leg muscles were already aching with use. She sat down heavily on a nearby chair, that had been moved from its previous position beside one of the couches.

Twilight sighed in relief, noticing that her friends were sitting themselves, all crowded near Rarity.

"Oh, you poor ponies. Unable to stand for five minutes without rest. I wonder what your Princess would think about this."

"What did you mean before?!" Twilight demanded, ignoring the insult.

"Today, everyone in Equestria woke up this morning with the same dilemma you mares are having now."

"You're lying!" Applejack cried

"See for yourselves."

Suddenly, newspapers appeared near each pony, and on the front page, was a picture of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna standing beside each other. Both were massively obese, with stomachs that seemed to touch the ground. Celestia had the larger plot, but Luna had gained the most around her chest and neck.

"Oh no," Twilight murmured.

"Oh yes." The voice continued, "It's every single pony in Equestria is in various stages of obesity, all because my employer hired the right people."

"This can't be," Twilight shook her head, "The princesses could-"

"Do nothing without their precious Element bearers. You six are going to be returned to a fat Equestria, unable to move, and unable to protect yourselves, or your beloved friendship."
