Sleipnir Colony - A Short Story Collection

“When you said you wanted to visit I wasn’t quite expecting you to take my offer up so quickly.” Sundrop said. Both their trips were over but Rotunda had been quite insistent on visiting Haizum, she didn’t seem to be able to stop talking about those foruna fruit. Never the mind, she was sure she could take her mind off them once they landed.

“Well your generous offer seemed too good to pass up, plus I could move a few things around I was expected to return for. The trip is such a short distance.” Rotunda replied.

Both the mares were situated aboard Sundrop’s private pleasure yacht. It was a huge ship, mostly built that way to accommodate ponies of Sundrop’s and Rotunda’s size. The furnishings oozed decadence. The interior was plastered wall to wall in gold leaf, if it wasn’t gold leaf it was gold something. Rotunda had nearly put her sunglasses back on when she had entered. Her ears twitched as she heard a voice.

“More food my ladies? We have two more jumps to go, the trip should last a few hours at most.” Dewgrass had appeared next to them. “The kitchens are on standby.” He said almost deadpan, like he had repeated the phrase one thousand times at least.

“Do ponies sleep on their stomachs? Of course more food my loyal servant.” Sundrop replied, watching as he vanished to get the on board chefs working. A moment later Rotunda’s own servant, Cherry appeared, waddling her way towards them. ‘Hmmm...she’s clearly putting on weight, as expected. I should see about a bigger uniform.’ Rotunda thought to herself as she observed the chunky maid do her best to move herself as best she could. The standard maid outfit she was wearing clearly needed an upgrade, or at least letting out. There were a few noticeable rips where her blubber was trying to escape.

“Dewgrass is preparing the food in the kitchens my ladies. Can I do anything for you in the meantime?” She asked.

“Hmmm, I think we are okay for the moment but my dear, have you gained?” Rotunda asked her. Immediately the servant pony went rather shy, her words starting to stutter.

“Y-yes, mistress. Roughly two hundred p-pounds. The uniform is showing it I take it?” She asked, her cheeks redding as she tried her best to cover the tears with her hooves.

“A little. Sundrop do you keep any spares on board? Particularly for plus sized maids?” Rotunda asked her friend.

“Of course we do, I’ll have one of the other servants equip her with something more suited to her size.” Sundrop said with a smile. “My dear if you head down the third corridor to my on ship tailor they will be able to help you out. He’s quite the wizz at maid uniforms for the bigger mares like yourself.”

“Thank you lady Sundrop. I’ll see to it immediately.” The young maid replied, turning her bulk and waddling away. The two massive high society ponies behind her went back to their idle chatter, it seemed Rotunda had some more questions about the foruna fruit.

‘Hmm…’ Cherry couldn’t help like her master but be impressed by the ship. It was absolutely massive, Sundrop or her husband must have made a lot more money than Rotunda’s husband as her own masters ship seemed almost normal compared to their one. The ship was new, top of the line and everything in it glistened. Privately she thought the gold decor all over was a bit much but for the rich, nothing was ever too much.

She made her way down one of the super wide corridors, the third one from the room she just left as instructed. The maid really had overindulged this trip, on her off hours she had taken full advantage of the resorts generous food and gorged herself rather a lot. It had just been too good to pass up. Now she was paying the price as her size had ballooned, she felt her maid outfit hug tightly against her body with every wobbling step she took forward. Her huge girth just barely contained within the material. She could even feel her legs brushing against her fat with every step she took, her neck rolls jiggling in response to the movement. Eventually she came to a set of double doors with a sign outside.

Stitchy Needle, Ship Tailor - 1st Class

Cherry wondered what the 1st class title meant and knocked on the door. It slide sideways to let her in. A pony sat at a desk in what was otherwise a huge empty room occupied the other side, a stallion, slightly chubby, but nowhere near the size of most. He didn’t even turn around to see who was entering.

“Ah! Hello again my dear, back for the 38th letting out of your...oh, hello. I was expecting Sundrop...you’re not her.” He said, turning around mid sentence and looking a little embarrassed.

“Um no, she sent me though! If that helps.” Cherry replied a little embarrassed herself, it didn’t take much to get her to be.

“Ah well no matter. She often sends me her staff.” The tailor replied with a cheerful grin.

“Oh er, I’m not one of those either…”

“Then what are you doing here? Apart from being sent.” He asked.

“Your mistress is holidaying with mine, I am one of Lady Rotunda’s many maid servants but she brought me for this trip. I seem to have indulged a little too much, as you can see…” She pointed a hoof backwards at the uniform and gave it a little tug, there was a very obvious shrrrriiiiipppppp!!! As even the tiniest little push on it from her made it give way. “To that end Sundrop authorised you could put something together for me a bit better fitting?”

“I see, well you’ve certainly come to the right tailor. Sundrop employs only the best. I’ll make you not only a functional outfit but one that will look quite the part and still let you gain my dear. In fact Sundrop insists that her own servants are equipped with these. She feeds them well also.” The tailor said with a smile and pulling out a measuring tape, he started to make his way around Cherry, perhaps getting a little too close as she felt part of it around her tush.

“E-eeep!” There was a little and rather cute yelp from her that made the tailor’s grin just get wider.

“Please my dear, I’m a professional. I need to get measurements before I can make you a new maid outfit.” He said, a little dryly this time as he did his job. “You are a big pony my darling. You know if you gain much more you’re going to struggle even more to walk. This will help with that little, or big problem.”

“Perhaps but, for now...the outfit if you’d be so kind.”

“Of course, how many jumps do we have left before we reach Haizum?”

“Two I believe.”

“Plenty of time. You just stand there and I’ll work.”

And work the tailor did, it pretty quickly became clear why he was considered 1st class to Cherry. It was as if a team instead of a single pony was putting clothing together around her. Throughout every nip, tuck and stitch Cherry did her best to keep her pose, with Stitchy just asking “Lift your leg please.” or “Can you move your gut a little my dear.” or some other question to get into her folds better to work around her.

In just over an hour the work was complete.

“There, have a look - there’s a large mirror to your right. Sorry I’d have let you see beforehand but I prefer ponies see my work complete rather than in progress. Suitable for your mistress?”

Cherry turned, letting out a little gasp. The new outfit looked absolutely stunning. It was sleek, tight to her body and in some places almost looked shiny. It gave her huge form a rather elegant grace the old outfit simply couldn’t. Every curve on her body was almost pushed into a round shape where possible by the garment. Whereas before the old outfit had let her body sag and drag, the new one lifted her, her massive extended belly lightly brushed the floor and her huge thighs squished it between her a little as she moved her legs to get used to her almost new body. She was just as big, but the outfit did something to her that made her body take to its size much better.

“Y-you did this? How? It’s amazing!” She cried out.

“Ah, well I’m not a first class tailor for nothing. Really there isn’t a lot to it. I make use of rather standard materials, but it’s the way you intertwine them with others my dear. The secret is in the material, portions contain a figure hugging element. Too much and it will permanently retain that shape even when you take it off, but I have placed in in ‘patches’ if you like around to the important sections, the rump and belly mostly. I combined what would be a standard maid outfit with portions that are made to keep your rather plump figure in place that are a bit stronger, but this will still allow you to grow a fair amount before it needs any changes. Any decent tailor should be able to let it out, I’m sure your mistress knows of one.” He said.

Cherry was rather blindsided by the work, it really was incredible to look at. It felt amazing too. She thought she had better thank him properly.

“This work is well...like nothing I’ve ever worn. Thank you. Does my mistress owe yours anything?”

“Not a bit my dear! I charge her enough myself for my work. Now you go on, enjoy it.” He said, with that, Cherry rather happily made her way out of the room with the door shutting behind her. She figured they would be landing soon, best to go attend to Rotunda and see if she required anything before they did. Haizum colony was fast approaching.
