//-------------------------------------------------------// Friendly Fat -by NightFurySpeedey8156- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Rumbles Of The Ruler Of Equestria //-------------------------------------------------------// The Rumbles Of The Ruler Of Equestria Now that the coronation was over and the torch had officially been passed, Twilight Sparkle: Savior of Equestria and Ex-Princess Celestia's student, had now become the ruler of the land she once fought for. And along with that passing of the torch came wisdom to bestow upon her. But one of the many things she was not told was how to manage her now very alicorn sized biology. And one of those things was her appetite. Having basically grown to the size of her old mentor within the span of a few weeks, the almost immediate jump in hunger became a common thing to be brought up. Mostly through her constant hunger growls, her stomach made sure she never forgot that she had a basically bottomless pit inside her for food to be tossed down into. And as a solution to this issue, she began to stuff herself. A LOT. Many would consider her rapid weight gain as a problem. Perhaps an eating disorder or a faulty diet. But this choice was of her own volition, carefully planned out by every pound gained, and of course rigorously documented as she was the type to do so. The day was set in the morning, Twilight already having raised the sun into the optimal position to match the clocks. Though her magic was no indication of her corpulent form, her body told a story of a thousand words. Her belly rounded out her form like a purple cushion, bulging out at her sides and low enough to even be used as one. Her neck had grown much bigger as well, folds upon folds piled up upon each other. So much so that she had to decommission her custom made necklace to resist a possible hazard. Her legs and hind quarters bared far much more, plump fat being packed onto each limb and butt cheek like nicely stuffed pillows. As she raised the sun into its fill height over the land, Twilight felt and heard the unmistakable sound of her hungry belly, crying out for a large breakfast. Mrrrerrrrerrrrgrr… Twilight giggled slightly as she rubbed her purple pouch. “Oh, I hear you down there. Don't think I forgot about the most important meal of the day.” Her stomach gurgled a supporting argument. Twilight had somewhat made a friend out of her stomach, engaging in regular conversation with it as if they were partners. Though the language barrier was much to work with, she could understand her gut’s wishes and pleas as if she was listening to the queries of the nobles in day court. The purple bubble rumbled another rather loud complaint, trying to hurry the alicorn along. Twilight had taken it upon herself to declare the day before that today was her ‘Relaxation Day’, making it clear that she was not to be disturbed at any point during the day unless extremely urgent. And today was the perfect day to do it as not only had the royal pantries been restocked for the month, but Spike was off on business with the Kirin in the Peaks Of Peril. So this was the perfect chance to begin her little me day. “Alright, sun raised: Check. Staff alerted to my absence and to only come to me with urgent matters: Check. Next up: Food.” Within a fraction of a second, an absolutely gigantic array of food from the kitchens had been teleported to her chambers. Many different delicacies and treats sat before her, ready to be devoured in the name of science and personal pleasure. “Okay, this seems like a decent amount of food to give me what I need for today. So, what to start with…” Her belly burbled in anticipation of the grand ride that awaited, growing more excited as the first of the items, a Hayburger, was levitated to her by her magic. “Okay okay, I'll get on with it.” She said, patting her belly as she bit into the burger and began to munch. Twilight had to admit that she had a major craving for Hayburgers, to the point where it was almost an obsession. Each one she scarfed down was another set of calories dumped into her belly, onto her body and picked off the platter before her. Her stomach burbled in satisfaction of the intake she was pursuing which only motivated her to do more. Moving on from her favorite food, she decided to try one of the new creations of the modern times. Pizza. It was thanks to a few eccentric ponies in desperate need for some bits that gave birth to what was now a hit all over Equestria. With toppings that could suit every palate, from black olives and spinach to anchovies and shrimp, this new creation was one that would be improved upon for ages to come. But for now, the only duty this new dish was now being used for was to fill the belly of a princess. Taking a slice of plain cheese, she took a hearty bite and pulled the slice back as she watched the warm cheese stretch from her muzzle before she chomped up the rest. The other seven slices didn't last too long either as the disc was quickly eaten up. Looking towards the drinks, she grabbed a cherry soda and twisted that cap with her magic. The fizz of the drink caught her attention as it seemed the drink was shaken up a bit from prior movement. Not wanting the drink to bubble over, Twilight stuffed the bottle into her muzzle and began to chug. The fuzzy feeling of the carbonated drink made her wings twitch and her satisfaction rose as well. In no time flat, the drink was gone and she tossed the bottle aside, allowing herself a breather as she leaned back and put a hoof to the top of her tummy. “Whew! That soda was pretty fizzy. That's probably because of the movement it was subjected to on the way to my quarters. No matter, it was still tasty in the end.” Twilight said, her stomach giving a bubbly affirmation of her statement. The soda quickly began to make an effect as a constant bubbling noise was emitted from the depths of her gut, making her insides feel airy and pressurized before she let out a loud… Burrrrrrrraaaaalp! Twilight covered her muzzle and let out a giggle at the loud outburst. That soda was definitely a good addition. “Now this was a good idea. Another successful effort to satisfy my needs, if I do say so myself. Now, what next?” Twilight took her time with her next choice, carefully scanning her collection of food items before coming to the one thing her mentor loved. Cake. It always got a laugh out of the purple alicorn as to how she was much of a cake lover as her former teacher. It was almost as if her spirit had possessed her once she took the throne. Moving towards the five layer vanilla treat, she took after her mentor and went face first onto the cake. Munching wildly and without restraint, she began to make the cake a distant memory, her belly expanding along with the cake that was being fed to it. It moaned and groaned at the load of sugar being dropped into it with haste, a high percentage of fat being added to her lower end. Pulling her head up and licking her lips, Twilight hummed with happiness at the flavor and excellent feeling of stuffing her face. She finally felt satisfied for a good bit before her belly gurgled again in a desperate sounding manner. “You sound like I'm withholding all of this from you on purpose. I'm not, you know.” Her stomach didn't believe her and roared a complaint that shook her violently. “Okay okay! I'll keep going.” Twilight decided to move onto the more volatile foods and took a bowl of extra spicy chili in her magical grasp. Gulping it down all at once, she set the bowl aside and wiped away the excess. Her belly had a very loud reaction. Raaaaaraaburbrbrbreurrrr… “Woah, easy there girl. I'll settle ya down.” Twilight turned her sights to a bottle of Sweet Tea. Grabbing the bottle in her magic, she twisted the cap off and easily drank down half. Her belly calmed down and bubbles with a muffled sound as her internal temperature cooled off after eating the chili. “There we go, all better. Now, back to the goodies.” The purple alicorn immediately went for the stack of Hayburgers on a platter near her. Taking two in her magical grasp she exchanged bites between the two until they both disappeared into her stomach. She went back for seconds, thirds and fourths before she laid back and just allowed her stomach to make some noise. Burrrgurrrrrllblblruaaa… “Oh don't let me stop you, go ahead and digest your meal.” Twilight said as she let her mind roam while her belly rumbled in her hooves. She wondered what her fellow princesses were up to, where they were and how they were. I haven't seen them in a good while. Perhaps I should have a get together with them and see where they are? I better make a note of this. She passively grabbed a quill and a few sheets of parchment. Writing on the paper, she wrote invitation letters to all the ex-princesses to a special ‘Pudgy Princess Party’ to catch up and revel in their corpulent forms. Sending them on their way with a spell, her stomach brought her attention back to her feast very quickly and loudly. Brrryrrrrrblurgerrrrrrrawrrr… “Woah, take it easy in there!” She warned, patting her belly to try and settle its cries. “I'll fill you back up, I just need to find something worth your appetite.” Her stomach urged her to hurry up with her pick as she scanned the choices she had. Looking around the piles of food, she noticed a strange new sight that she hadn't tried yet. Picking up the bowl and plate combo, she saw a large serving of bean chili with a strange drink with it. Taking a closer look, she saw it was a purple tankard with spikes around the outside and a foamy layer of carbonation on top. “Huh, I guess this must be a drink to wash the beans down. I'll save you for later. But for now… Through the teeth and past my gums, watch out tummy, here it comes!” Twilight said confidently as she downed the chili. The spicy feeling of the thick bowl of slop made her throat tingle, the beans adding some texture to it before it disappeared into the purple pony. Twilight gulped and sighed a satisfied breath as the beans settled in her gut. But once they did, they immediately started to kick back. Burrrrrrrrrr… “Ohhhh…” Twilight moaned along with her belly as the beans began to make a mess of her insides. The chili began to wreak havoc on her belly, the groans and moans to follow an indication of an upset tummy. Mrrrererrrrererrrrrrorrorooar… “That chili doesn't seem to be sitting as well as I thought. Maybe that drink is what I need to knock it loose.” The purple princess groaned. Her hoof snatched the color matched tankard off the plate and tossed the drink inside back into the princess’ throat. The fizzy drink made her eyes water and cough a bit, but the bean chili seemed to calm down within her. “Hahhhh, thank goodness.” Twilight said, leaning back and putting a hoof on her belly. But what she didn't know was that drink was one of the most potent brews on the planet. After a few seconds, her belly started back up again, more aggressive than ever. The drink seemed to make the situation even worse than it was as it turned her belly into a dome of turmoil. Rummmmblrbrlrrbrlrlrbbrbrb… Rrreerrroaaaaaaaarrrrblblbl… “What… What's happening!?” The grown alicorn said as her belly visibly vibrated and bubbled. The large ball wailed and shook the room, the rumbling causing the princess’ stress to rise as it gave no leeway. More and more bubbles filled her gut, the noise putting everything outside of the room to shame in terms of sound. BRRRRRRRRRRRRR… RRREERRROAAAAAAAARRRRBLBLBL… “Oh dear…” Twilight said before her cheeks puffed up and she let out all of the pressure. BRAAAAAAAAAAAURRRRRRRRRRRRPP! The room shook violently, books and paper falling from their places and food clattering in place on their plates. The rest of the castle was somehow unaffected by the blast, which was one good thing as it wouldn't disturb anyone else. But after the blast went silent, Twilight was left with more questions than she had before. What was in that drink? What did that do to her stomach? Did it do any damage? Was she going to have medical problems!? Before she got too panicked, she used her sister-in-law’s breathing technique to calm herself down and allowed herself to think logically. Looking at the tankard the drink was in, she picked it back up in her magic and inspected it for any indication of what the drink was. Taking a glance inside the tankard and looking at the bottom, she saw two words that gave her a clue as to what it was. Gut Wrecker. “That's a very disturbing name for a drink. But considering what just happened to me, it makes sense.” Twilight said to herself. With this information, she reshelved her books and brought one close to her that would hopefully bring her some clarity. Exotic Drinks of Old and New: A Guide to Beverages. Hopefully this will tell me what I just drank. Opening the book, she flipped to the G’s and looked for what she had seen. Soon enough, she found what she was looking for. Gut Wrecker: A highly carbonated brew of multiple types of sodas and ciders mainly used as a cure for stomach aches. In older times, their use was mainly for the miners that worked below the surface, their company appointed meals not really being too digestible due to cheapskate owners. As an answer to the less than stellar working conditions, miners scraped together what they could and combined many fizzy drinks to make what they called ‘The Gut Wrecker’ to clear out their piping and keep themselves working at full capacity. In today's age, this now popular drink among groups of teens and adults is used as a base for burping contests and general enjoyment. Some workspaces use this beverage in the same way as when it was first created, but the amount of times it is actually used has gone down with the intervention of employee fairness acts being signed into law in recent years. Twilight was interested in the colorful history behind this weird drink, its origins and current uses being the main drawing points that caught her attention. This drink got her so hooked that she actually added it to a list of items that she would include in her get-together as a little chaos factor. “This should be an interesting time for all involved. But in the meantime, I should have a break after that because this new drink is a doozy.” Twilight said, her gut burbling in agreement as she laid back and let herself rest after the chaotic run in with this new discovery. – Meanwhile, in different parts of Equestria. Each of the ex-princesses were doing as they pleased with their free time, enjoying their retirement as they took on what they enjoyed with nothing and nopony to tell them otherwise. But the letter that they would all receive would have them reconsidering their calendar schedules. Dear ex-princesses of Equestria and beyond… Hello from Canterlot! It's been so long since I've seen you and I've been meaning to catch up with you after my induction onto the role of Ruler of Equestria. But as you may expect, things have been very busy for me to even consider writing a letter to any of you for a time to enjoy each other's company. But now I get that opportunity. As Ruler of Equestria, I cordially invite you to a private get-together to catch up and enjoy a little time with each other. Mountains of snacks, food and drinks will be available for us to enjoy, as I know all of us have packed on a few pounds over the years (Or at least, that's what I assume happened. Sorry if I offended anypony). Feel free to reply to this letter with your acceptance or denial of this invitation and we will get to find out what life has done to the four of us after so many years. Hope to see you all soon! Your Friend/Former Student/Sister-in-law, Twilight Sparkle The letter caught all of their attentions and had them interested in what things were like after so many years apart. Plus the mention of food and drinks had all of their bellies demanding that they accept. So with a collective moment of synchronized thought, they all accepted the invite and declared this get-together an entertaining possibility for new connections. “It's a date!” They all said as they began to plan the trip to Canterlot.
