Afternoon at Blueberry’s Expansive Coffee and Treats is a time of ‘sweet’ relief for Blueberry Cobbler. With how swamped mornings get, especially since he does that shift solo, getting some relative rest before his special night shift is paradise. Just some time for himself to daydream about the many fattenings, inflations, and berries he’d serve to the clientele who have similar tastes.

“Hey, Blue!” A voice shouted out, pulling the chubby blue unicorn from his daydreaming. He looked up from his private table in one of the main floor’s corners and saw a pale orange, stick of a unicorn giving him a mean glare from behind his round glasses.

With a sigh, Blue adjusted his square glasses and moved from his seat to behind the counter, mentally grumbling how his worker, Apple Cinnamon, is too ‘professional’ at times. “What is it this time, AC?” He asked with a bit of tired snark.

“Get off your fat, lazy butt and help me with this line,” Cinnamon nagged with a scowl as he was typing an order into his register.

Blue glanced at Cinnamon’s ‘line’ before shaking his head in slight disapproval. “AC, you only have two in your ‘line’,” he responded. “And you are just finishing up taking one of their orders.”

“And you know that my tolerance of others is one at a time,” Cinnamon grumbled before finishing at his register and began to move to his coffee station far from the front.

“Which is why I’m going to help,” Blue responded, as he moved to his register. “Not saying I like it, but I’ll do it. Are you this rough with Applebloom when she’s near?”

Without turning, Cinnamon nodded and threw a rude gesture at Blue, getting the chubby unicorn to snort in mild amusement before turning to the customer that moved with him to his register. Said customer was a white pegasus mare in an Expansteel set of Guard Armor.

“Hello, standard patrol decaf?” Blue asked the pegasus.

She shook her head and answered, “No, it’s my day off. I need a bit more flavor.”

“Then, a former guard to a current guard, what’s with the armor?” Blue inquired.

“I’m so used to my armor, that not wearing it is uncomfortable,” she answered while glancing up and down Blue’s chubby body. “And if you’re a former guard, then you must have let yourself go upon leaving the force.”

“Would you believe me if I told you that I was this chubby even during my time in the force and I still work out?” Blue flirted.

“Umm, I would have a hard time believing you,” she said. “I’ll have a Lemon Latte and by the way, my name is Expansive Dawn.”

Blue finished taking down the order and moved to his coffee station, which was closer to the front than Cinnamon’s station. “I’m Blueberry Cobbler, but most people call me Blue.” He began mixing the different coffee beans and flavor syrups in a blender before adding it to the coffee machine’s filter.

“Huh, I heard a bit about your service in the Guard Force,” Dawn said as he worked.

“Like my handsome looks, or my stellar service?” Blue asked as he looked at her with a flirtatious glint in his eye while adding some sugar to a cup.

“More like your shape and your expansive pranks,” she shot at him, getting him to accidentally bump a flavor syrup and spill some of it.

He quickly cleaned up his mess and gave Expansive Dawn an embarrassed smile. “Well, I’ll admit, my pranks were in poor spirit,” He said as he flipped a switch on the coffee machine. “It kept many of my comrades in line when it came to my eating habits and body shape.”

“Were you discharged from the Force because of your pranks?” She asked.

“No, the Canterlot Invasion happened and I was wounded...badly,” Blue answered as the coffee flowed into the pot. “Managed to surprise a good number of the old changelings with my moves despite looking like a fat bum.”

“You are a fat bum!” Cinnamon yelled from his station.

“Private conversation, AC!” Blue shouted back. “You get on me about physical boundaries, I’ll get on you about conversational ones!”

A rude gesture showed itself from around the partition that surrounded Cinnamon’s station before returning to the station. Expansive Dawn looked between Blue and Cinnamon’s station. “Why is he working here with such a rude attitude?”

“He’s a friend from my childhood and given enough time around him, you’ll come to understand that he hates everything and means well with his hatred,” Blue said as he poured coffee into the cup he was working with.

“Oh…” she said, both confused and understanding. “So, yeah, it was nice talking with you.” She took her coffee and pulled out her bit bag and paid for her drink.

“You can talk with me anytime,” Blue flirted as she took a seat and sipped on her coffee.

As Blue began cleaning up his station, he failed to notice what was happening to Dawn. As she drank her coffee, her body color started to change from its original colors to varying shades of blue. After a few minutes, her body was completely blue and began to increase in size.

Her body began making some noises, catching Dawn’s attention. When she was drinking, she had her eyes mostly closed to more easily taste the coffee’s flavor, so when she had opened her eyes to see her body had become blue and that it was also noticeably chubbier.

“What in Celestia’s name?” She asked loud enough for a handful of patrons and Cinnamon to hear, getting a bunch of eyes on her.

Just as she thought things couldn’t get worse, her gut let out a loud gurgle and began to hiss and slosh. Cinnamon gave a subtle nod to one of the patrons, and they began to leave the store as Dawn began to increase in size faster than at the beginning.

Her belly and butt took most of the size increase, while the rest filled out proportionally, leaving her mobile, but very chunky. Her armor and clothing were adjusting to her new size as she grew, but without special enchantments, it pretty much made them barely more covering than a bikini on her bloated, blueberry blubber body.

When her armor and clothing started feeling tight on her, she started noticing how sensitive and full she felt. It was like she was wrapped tightly in a warm blanket, but lacking the sweaty feeling that comes with that. Her body then stopped growing, and she started testing her senses and movement.

While all of that was happening, Cinnamon approached a completely oblivious Blue and placed a mop near him. The mop’s appearance startled him out of his daydreaming enough to notice the mare he served now was a combination of a fatty, balloon, and blueberry. Cinnamon placed a water-filled bucket next to the mop, pulling Blue’s attention away from the mare’s engorged body.

A quick glance between the cleaning supplies and the bloated blue-mare, and he understood what Cinnamon was telling him to do. He gave his employee an eye roll and took the mop and bucket to the main floor and began working on cleaning up the room from both the usual end-shift mess and anything broken during Expansive Dawn’s expansion.

Cinnamon switched on the ‘Temporarily Closed’ sign and turned his attention to the blue-mare, who was now doing some jumping jacks with a wide smile on her face. Cinnamon shook his head in annoyance and began gathering the ingredients for an emergency antidote.
