//-------------------------------------------------------// Destructive Diets and Curve Complications -by Bugfriend- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// You really should keep these spells to yourself, Twilight. //-------------------------------------------------------// You really should keep these spells to yourself, Twilight. "Oh please, Twilight?" "No, Rarity!" Twilight Sparkle replied. "Body manipulation spells aren't meant to be played with. This is advanced magic. It could have side effects - or worse!" Rarity pouted, reaching out a hand to point at the open spell book the purple unicorn was holding. "But darling, look: 'Didala's Dieting Directive. An experimental spell for the figure-conscious pony.' That hardly sounds dangerous to me." Twilight sighed, then glanced at the open page. "I suppose... perhaps you could test this one spell for me. But just you, and only for a few days." "Yay!" Rarity cheered, clasping her hands together eagerly. Twilight retrieved a sheet of carbon paper from her library desk. She placed the paper over the open page in the spellbook, then carefully cast a duplication spell. Text and magical inscriptions began to appear on the blank page, making an exact copy of the dieting spell. Twilight peeled off the finished copy and handed it to her friend. "Just this spell," she said. "I'll be returning this book to the Canterlot Library tomorrow. I'll be back in two weeks after my studies are done, and then I'll need this copy back. "Please be careful, Rarity," she cautioned. "This may seem harmless, but it does say 'experimental' in the description." "Oh don't worry Twilight," Rarity beamed. "What could possibly go wrong?" Rarity left Twilight's library and strolled back to her boutique, nearly skipping with delight. She was hoping her friend could find a spell like this - and lo and behold, she did! The unicorn rounded the corner to the Carousel Boutique and keyed open the lock. Equestria's premier dressmaker was a very busy mare. When she wasn't traveling to fashion shows or managing her business, Rarity often spent long hours fitting and sewing product. This naturally meant a lot of skipped breakfasts, light snacks and declined dinner invites. Despite her ever-growing success, the unicorn was increasingly conscious of her slender, almost gaunt figure. Spending time among voluptuous fashion models and well-fed aristocrats wasn't helping things. Rarity wanted curves - and fast! Once inside, the unicorn beelined for her bedroom, closed the door and turned to the floor-length mirror beside her bed. Studying her reflection, Rarity pulled off her top, exposing her alabaster breasts. Her girls were perky, modest - and entirely too small in her opinion. The unicorn regarded the rest of herself in the mirror - sleek thighs and a skinny waist, slender arms and an elegant neckline. A few pounds added to her bust, an extra inch or so around her middle - then her figure would be perfect! Rarity pulled out Twilight's copy of the diet spell. The inscription was archaic, but the unicorn recognized most of it from her studies in magic school. Her horn glowed brilliant blue as she cast it on herself, concentrating as she pictured her own body filling out, her skinny figure blossoming with elegant curves. Her alabaster skin began to glow, the magic spreading all around her. There was a blinding flash of light and a loud POP! The fashion pony blinked several times as the magical light suddenly disappeared. She carefully looked around, then regarded herself in the mirror. Nothing looked different! "Hmm...is that it? I expected something more..." Rarity said with a hint of irritation. *OOOOURRRRRLLLLGLGLLLLL* The unicorn's stomach let loose a terrible growl. Rarity placed a hand to her middle as she suddenly felt famished - as if she hadn't eaten all day. It was not an unfamiliar feeling to the meal-skipping dressmaker. "Well, lunch was rather light today," she said to herself. "I suppose a celebratory dinner is in order!" The hour was late, so Rarity decided to order in. She scooped up her phone, dialing the number of a noodle place across town. "Yes, hello...I'd like an order for delivery...Carousel Boutique, please," Rarity recited as she retrieved a paper delivery menu and scanned its contents. "I'll have a number four, two number elevens, and a number twenty-three...with extra sauce. Make that two!" Rarity groaned, nearly doubling over as her stomach growled even louder, pangs of hunger making her feel lightheaded. "Please hurry!" she shouted into the phone before hanging up and dashing into the kitchen. The busy fashionista had very little food in stock. Rarity grabbed a half-empty box of ginger snaps and wolfed them down, followed by some leftover croissants from breakfast and most of a bottle of milk. The unicorn was contemplating raiding the old crackers and cans in her pantry when the doorbell rang. She raced to the front door and flung it open, snatched several bags from a startled delivery mare, and threw a handful of bills at her before slamming it closed. Rarity rushed back to the kitchen, dropping the bags on the counter and clawing them open. A dozen takeout containers were hurriedly placed onto the counter. She could barely remember what she had ordered, but her ravenous appetite didn't seem to care. Whatever this stuff was, she needed to eat! The first takeout box was popped open, revealing lumps of fried beef drizzled with sweet and sour sauce. Rarity reached for a packet of chopsticks, hesitated, then grabbed a fork and speared a bite of beef. In an instant it was past her lips, followed quickly by another and another. The unicorn moaned with satisfaction at the delectable, tender sweetness of the meat, chewing quickly and gulping each bite down to finally fill her starving stomach. Rarity pulled open a tub of white rice and another of fried vegetables and began gobbling them down as well, alternating between big spoonfuls of rice and forkfuls of beef and veggies. The kitchen echoed with gulps, smacking lips, and rustling takeout containers as the fashion mare ate. Her cheeks bulged as her jaw worked overtime to chew and swallow as fast as she could. The beef was quickly devoured. Rarity grabbed a tub of soup, tore off the lid and began spearing noodles with her fork. Lifting them to her mouth, she began to loudly slurp the noodles up, splattering droplets of broth across the counter. The mare's throat bulged as she rhythmically chewed and swallowed. Less than a minute later the last bit of noodles slithered past her lips. Rarity swallowed, gasped for air, then lifted the soup tub to her lips and began to drink the remaining broth. *Ulp...ulp...ulp...* her throat sounded as she gulped down the hot, savory liquid. The container sloshed between her hands as it rapidly emptied. Rarity slurped up the last mouthful, gasped for breath again, then placed a hand to her throat as she felt a bubble welling in her throat. *BUUUUURRRP!* Rarity's tummy felt hot and bloated, and her stomach sloshed with over a quart of soup, noodles and meat. Yet the ravenous hunger persisted. The unicorn flipped open more takeout boxes and revealed the main course - a double order of roasted duck curry, draped over more vegetables and rice. Rarity salivated over the delicious-looking dish, fetched a knife and began to eagerly carve into the succulent meat. The first bite drove her taste buds wild, her eyelids fluttering at the taste of fatty duck and rich red curry. She eagerly plunged her utensils in for more, chewing hard as her hands impatiently waited to feed her another bite. Rarity ate, and ate, and ate... methodically demolishing the massive entrée. Her stomach gurgled as it stretched to accommodate more and more hot, tender food. The unicorn was nearly entranced by her meal, compelled to keep eating by her gnawing hunger. Night had fallen by the time the last bite of curry passed between her lips. Rarity chewed slowly as she surveyed the spread of empty containers before her. Utensils clattered onto the counter as she finally swallowed, licking grease and curry sauce from her lips. Her monstrous hunger had finally subsided, but as she reached for a napkin she was now overcome by a wave of lethargy. "Ooooohhh..." she groaned, suddenly aware of how painfully full she was. Her stomach felt like a leaden weight. Rarity reached down to her waist and gasped as she felt the round swell of her middle. Her belly bulged out in a tight sphere above her waist, causing her shirt to ride up past her navel. The unicorn reached down and prodded her exposed gut, wincing as she felt how taut her skin was. "Oh goodness...I ate so much...so full..." she groaned to herself. A pang of regret flashed by as she noticed her lavender top was stained with sauce and grease. A stray noodle was stuck to it near her neckline. "Must be the spell..." Rarity rationalized. She took a step back, then grabbed the counter as she felt herself swoon. "Needs energy...oh, so tired..." Rarity trundled up the stairs to bed, clutching the round food baby in her middle. She ducked into the bathroom to wash off her face, then slipped off her top, throwing on a spare nightgown draped across a nearby chair. The unicorn eagerly slid into bed. Her eyes closed as she lay on her back, listening to the gurgling of her full, digesting stomach. Within minutes she was snoring. After a long and dreamless sleep, Rarity awoke the next morning to sunlight spilling in through the open curtains. The lethargy and fullness of last night were gone. She reached below the covers and felt her middle, now no longer tight or bloated. Rarity flopped out of bed and rushed to the mirror, pulling off her nightie. The unicorn gasped as she stared back at her reflection. It worked! Her breasts were noticeably fuller - no longer small and perky, they sagged gently across her chest. Rarity reached up and hefted her cleavage, grinning profusely as she felt their extra weight. She twisted to the side, eyeing the rest of her figure. Her tummy looked a little softer, and there was a little extra jiggle in her rump. An added bonus! the fashionista thought to herself. "Wahaha!" the unicorn exclaimed, nearly jumping for joy. "Oh, it's just as I had hoped for! Perfect summer curves, here I come!" Rarity continued to admire herself in the mirror, and had turned to find a measuring tape when a thought struck her. "You know...I should share this magic with the others! Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash would surely appreciate a spell like this." "Swimsuit season is nearly here, after all!" the unicorn sang as she reached for her phone. "I dunno, Rarity. Isn't an untested spell kinda dangerous?" Rainbow Dash said skeptically. The four mares stood in a circle in the backyard of the Carousel Boutique. Rarity had invited them over, shown off the dieting spell and her new "fuller figure," and had just offered to cast it on them - free of charge! "Oh nonsense, Rainbow!" Rarity insisted. "It's just a harmless diet spell! What could possibly go wrong?" Dash looked unconvinced. "What about that time you used magic to give yourself wings to fly to Cloudsdale? Or that time-" "Those were different!" the unicorn said with a dismissive wave. "This spell is safe, painless, and it works practically overnight! You've already seen the results." She struck a pose for emphasis, drawing a hand against her thigh. "We'll only use it for a week. And besides, Rainbow," Rarity said, leaning in close to her. "How many more years do you want to wait for eye-catching cleavage?" Rainbow Dash blushed and lowered her head. The pegasus had confided in her several times that she wished for bigger tits. Her lithe athlete's body gave her a bust even smaller than Rarity's. The unicorn sympathized immensely. "Well...alright." the blue pegasus finally relented. "I'm in!" Pinkie Pie shouted, her hand shooting up. "Rarity, can your fancy magic put some extra cushion in my tushie? All the stallions at my parties say it's their favorite part of me!" "Of course, dear!" Rarity said with amusement. The pink earth pony was already rather chubby, with enviably plump breasts and a curvy rump that bounced incessantly. But who was she to deny her friend's wishes? "And how about you, Fluttershy?" she asked. "Oh...um...I don't know..." the yellow pegasus stuttered. She didn't mind being skinny. And the thought of attracting MORE attention to her body sounded awful! "Oh don't be silly dear, you'll enjoy it!" the unicorn chided. "Isn't there any part of you you wish were bigger?" "Um, no, uh, I..." Fluttershy said quietly, now blushing profusely. "Mmm-hmm..." Rarity said, not really listening, as she rifled through her handbag for the copy of Twilight's spell. "Now, hold still while I concentrate!" she cautioned, holding aloft the paper and focusing her magic. Blue light emanated from her horn and enveloped her three friends as she cast the dieting spell. In her mind Rarity pictured Rainbow Dash with a bigger bust, Pinkie Pie with a more generous posterior, and Fluttershy...well, just bigger in general, she supposed. The blue light intensified with a flash and a loud POP, then was gone. "There! All done!" the unicorn announced. Her three friends looked at each other, then at themselves. Their bodies looked the same! "Are you SURE that spell worked?" Rainbow Dash asked as she glanced at the fashionista, then down at her tank top. A moment later the three mares' stomachs began to growl in unison. "Ugh, Rarity, what's happening?" Rainbow Dash said, now hunching over and clutching her middle. "Why am I so HUNGRY?!" "Side effect of the spell, dear," Rarity replied. "The magic needs a full stomach in order to work!" "Come, let's all have lunch to celebrate. I know a wonderful noodle place across town that's sure to hit the spot!" Rarity turned and began trotting off, waving for her friends to follow. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy rushed after her, suddenly eager to quash the hunger pangs emanating from their stomachs. Rarity suppressed a broad grin as she strut across Ponyville's poolside patio. Her newly plumpened breasts jiggled against the tight confines of her now very undersized bikini top. Her chubby rump and softened tummy jiggled with every confident step. She could feel the lustful stares of stallions and envious glances of mares as she made her entrance. Oh yes, this was it! The unicorn waved to her friends, already standing by the pool. A week of Didala's Dieting Directive had been treating them very well. Rainbow Dash's chest now sported two jiggly blue watermelon tits that overflowed her skimpy top. Pinkie Pie's posterior had rounded out impressively, giving her a noticeably bottom-heavy figure. Fluttershy looked more like Rarity, curvy and plump with a hefty bust that had her blushing and fidgeting with her tight green bikini. "Ah, what a wonderful day for some sun!" Rarity crooned. Dash and Pinkie heartily agreed; Fluttershy merely mumbled. The four friends wobbled over to a trio of sun loungers on the far side of the pool. Rarity plopped into a chair, motioning for the others to join her. Dash and Fluttershy sat down, while Pinkie stood nearby, eagerly lapping at a generous cup of chocolate ice cream she'd bought on the way over. Turning to rummage through her handbag, Rarity pulled out her phone. "Kiss those petite figures goodbye, girls!" she said, holding her phone up to take a selfie of them. "Twilight's little 'enhanced diet' spell is working beautifully for our curves!" Fluttershy grumbled from the lounger beside her as the fashionista snapped several pictures. "Shouldn't we stop now...? she said, blushing as she struggled to pull her straining bikini top. "S-she said to only use it for a week..." "PFFFT! Probably just so she could have it all to herself!" Rainbow Dash jeered from the third chair. The pegasus reached back and undid the strap on her own bikini, allowing the painfully inadequate garment to fall away onto the pavement. Her fat blue breasts wobbled as they were freed, sagging down nearly to her bellybutton. "No way I'm stopping now! My tits are almost as big as Celestia's!" the blue pony bragged. Her hands reached up to squeeze and heft her cleavage together, turning the heads of several nearby stallions who stared wide-eyed whilst moving hands to cover their tenting swim trunks. "B-but...I'm already feeling a bit heavy..." Fluttershy remarked, moving her hands from her swollen cleavage to tug at the green bikini bottom stretched tightly over her chubby tummy. "Tell me about it!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, throwing aside her empty ice cream cup and plopping onto the chair next to Rainbow. "My butt's getting so big that these pants feel like they're gonna pop any second!" Fluttershy squirmed uncomfortably as Pinkie stretched, spreading her legs across her own. Her pink yoga pants were stretched skintight across her chunky rear and thighs. The yellow pegasus blushed profusely as she caught a glimpse of the earth pony's plump labia outlined against the taut material. "Then we'll get you a bigger pair, darling!" Rarity replied nonchalantly as she put her phone away. "At this rate, we'll be the curviest mares in Equestria!" The unicorn grinned as her stomach suddenly growled. Dash arched an eyebrow at her, then pulled a hand to her middle as her tummy began to grumble too. "Well then...snack bar, anypony?" Rarity asked, swinging around and leaping to her hooves. "Oh! Me first!" said Pinkie, rolling herself off the chair and following her. "Wait up!" Rainbow Dash called as she strode after them, her topless tits wobbling wildly. Fluttershy whimpered to herself as she watched her three friends sashay away, their plump butts jiggling and swaying with each step. Nearly every pony around was staring at the three voluptuous mares as they swayed and wobbled towards the snack bar. "Oh...I hope Rarity stops soon..." Fluttershy said to herself before her growing hunger compelled her to leap up and run after them. "Nnngh...come on!" Rarity grumbled as she struggled to pull the dress over herself. The satiny blue fabric rasped as it slid over her cleavage, her fat teats wobbling carelessly as they had far outgrown any of her old brassieres. Her nipples dimpled the skintight fabric as she wrenched it down around the swell of her much plumper belly. Rarity had nearly gotten it to her waist when she heard the dreaded *RIIIIP* - a side seam under her arm had popped, exposing a divot of soft white flesh. The unicorn sighed explosively, pulling the ruined garment above her head. Another outfit outgrown! She tossed it aside, then reached for her standby - a pair of old yoga pants and a lavender button-down shirt. Rarity huffed as she tugged the yoga pants over her chunky thighs, stretching them over her flabby white butt. The elastic waistband stretched painfully taut as she struggled to tuck the plump curve of her gut underneath it. "Nnnng...ufff...oh fine!" she huffed in frustration, allowing it to spill over her pants instead. She threw on the shirt, then began tugging it closed to button it. Twilight's dieting spell had continued to work its magic over the past three days - perhaps a little TOO well. Now instead of just sidelong glances, ponies were starting to give her exercise tips. One mare even asked if she was PREGNANT! Gaining this much weight had not been a part of the plan. All the eating she'd been doing to satisfy her hunger was cutting majorly into work time! Although she wasn't too unhappy with the results - her girls were now as big as Rainbow's were last week at the pool! A ring of the doorbell interrupted her thoughts. "Coming!" Rarity called as she managed to button up the taut, form-fitting shirt. She bounded down the stairs and opened the door to find a blue pegasus waiting for her. "Oh, hello Rainbow Dash." "Rarity. Lemme in." the pegasus said hurriedly. Rarity frowned. Her friend was glancing about nervously, and was wearing a baggy grey sweatsuit and knit cap. The unicorn stepped to one side, trying hard not to judge her friend's poor fashion choice as Dash hurriedly trotted inside. "What's this all about, Rainbow?" Rarity asked as she shut the front door. "That spell, Rarity," Dash said. "It's malfunctioning or something. You gotta turn it off!" "Malfunctioning?!" the unicorn replied. "Why that's ridiculous. It's working just fine!" "Then what's THIS?!" Rainbow exclaimed, lifting up her sweatshirt. A round, flabby blue belly spilled out from underneath, jiggling as it sagged over her straining waistband. "I wanted to have big tits, not be a BLIMP!" the pegasus fumed, staring angrily at her friend. "Oh Rainbow Dash, haven't you heard of bulking?" Rarity said nonchalantly. "Bulking?!" Rarity, I'm getting fat!" Rainbow Dash shot back. Her cyan eyes noticed the white unicorn's generous curves and the tightness of her shirt. "And you're getting fat too..." "Oh, pssh..." Rarity dismissed her with a wave of her hand. "You've been around too many skinny athletes, Rainbow. You simply don't know what TRUE curves look like! Besides..." Rarity reached out and gently hefted Rainbow Dash's chest. Her breasts were now truly massive, two jiggly orbs that squished tight against the baggy fleece of her sweatshirt. "I don't hear you complaining about these, do I?" she said with a naughty smile. The pegasus blushed and pulled herself away from her friend's groping hands. Rarity's forwardness had caught her off guard. As she stumbled for a reply, her stomach began to growl. "Hungry, dear?" Rarity asked. "Not again..." Rainbow groaned. "I'm always hungry now, that's the problem!" "Not a problem. It's nearly noon anyways. I insist you stay for lunch." Rarity retrieved her phone from the kitchen and dialed Ponyville's local pizza place. "Hello, Button? Yes it's me. I'll take my usual order, doubled this time. I have company over. Very well...ciao!" Rainbow Dash began to fumble out reasons for why she couldn't stay. Starting a diet, gym appointment, Wonderbolts practice... Rarity leaned against the armrest of her sofa, nodding sympathetically but dismissing her friend's excuses - and blocking her way to the front door. Five minutes later the doorbell rang and the unicorn leapt up to answer. The pegasus heard the scrawny voice of a delivery colt, the shuffling of cardboard and plastic, and Rarity's singsong goodbye followed by the door slamming. Rainbow's jaw dropped as her friend returned carrying half a dozen pizza boxes, two large take-out bags and a tray of drinks. "You ordered all THAT?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she plopped the bags onto her coffee table. "What? I told them I was having company over," she said "Rarity, I can't be eating this much food..." the pegasus whined. "Relax, darling. This one's on me!" Rarity crooned as she flipped open the first box to reveal a large meat lovers' pizza, still steaming hot from the oven. Rainbow's mouth watered as the scents of sausage, pepperoni and cheese wafted towards her. The mare's stomach roared impatiently as her willpower crumbled. Rainbow Dash plopped onto the armchair next to Rarity's couch, grabbing the pizza box for herself. A hand reached inside and pulled out a thick slice of pizza. The pegasus lifted the drooping slice up high and guided it into her mouth. "Mmm..." Rainbow Dash moaned as the taste of hot, greasy cheese and salty bread exploded inside her mouth. She munched contentedly, swallowed it down and took another bite. And then another bite, and then another... In a flash the pegasus had polished off the entire slice and was reaching for more. Rarity smiled at her friend as she nestled onto the couch and flipped open a pizza box of her own. Rainbow Dash ate faster and faster, devouring the pizza as fast as she could chew and swallow. As the first pizza dwindled she pulled over another box, reached inside and tore off a slice with extra cheese. The mare held a slice in each hand, alternating bites between the two, desperate to cram more cheesy goodness into her packed mouth. "Pace yourself, dear!" Rarity chided as she tucked into a third slice of a supreme pizza laden with onions and olives. Rainbow continued to wolf down both slices, pushing the thick crusts past her lips. Her cheeks bulged comically as she struggled to chew the huge mass of pizza. Hands balled into fists as she forced herself to chew and swallow. The pony nearly gagged as it slid down her throat. Her belly grumbled, visibly bulging bigger as it settled in her stomach. Dash sat panting in the armchair. Her hand reached out, and Rarity handed her a large soda. Rainbow slurped greedily from the straw, quenching her thirsty overheated mouth with the sweet, sugary beverage. Hunger compelled her to continue eating, though she maintained enough self-control to take smaller bites this time. By the time everything was eaten, Rainbow Dash had managed to pack away four whole pizzas and an entire tray of cinnamon bread. The blue pony slumped back in the armchair, her big blue belly packed with food. "Oh...can't keep eating like this...m'gettin' too big..." she groaned, fumbling with the tight waistband of her sweatpants. "You're not full already, are you?" Rarity asked with a smirk. The unicorn rolled herself off the couch and strolled into the kitchen. In a moment she returned, carrying two gallon tubs of ice cream in each hand. "Oh, Rarity, no..." Rainbow pleaded weakly, clutching her stomach. "Dairy is good for your coat, dear!" Rarity reassured her, setting the gallons on the coffee table along with a pair of spoons. The unicorn pulled off one lid, revealing a full container of strawberry sundae surprise - her personal favorite. Rarity lifted the tub against her busom, scooped up a big bite with her spoon and plunged it past her lips. "Mmm..." she hummed at the taste, casting a tempting gaze at her pegasus friend. Rainbow Dash bit her lip, saliva welling across her tongue. She lethargically rolled herself forward, exhaling as her swollen tummy squished against her thighs, and grasped the other tub. The lid popped off. Dash exhaled at the sight of chocolate brownie chunk, her own guilty pleasure, glistening with frosty goodness. A blue hand fumbled for a spoon, hurriedly plunged it into the block of dairy and forced a generous scoop of ice cream into her mouth. It was her turn to moan as sugary sweet chocolate overwhelmed her taste buds. "Mmmm..." Without a second thought, the pegasus dug her spoon in again. And again. And again... Rainbow Dash methodically devoured the ice cream, her insatiable hunger compelling her to follow every spoonful with another. Sugary chocolate dribbled from her lips and coated the inside of her mouth. The pegasus pony shivered as her throat and middle were chilled by the cold dessert. A hand reached down to pull her sweatshirt over her swollen gut, only for it to ride up again as she leaned back while taking another bite. Rainbow Dash's spoon was soon scraping the bottom of the carton. She blearily glanced inside to see that she had eaten almost the entire carton. The warmth of her hands and chest had melted the rest into a slurry of ice cream soup. Rainbow tossed her spoon aside, brought the container to her lips and tilted it back. Cool liquid chocolate poured into her mouth, and she eagerly gulped it down. Rarity cast her a sidelong glance and did the same, greedily slurping up the remaining strawberry sundae surprise. The two mares' throats bulged un tandem as they guzzled down the last of the sweet, sugary cream. "Ulp...ulp...ulp...ahh..." The dripping, empty ice cream tub clattered to the floor. Rainbow Dash let loose a frosty belch and slumped backwards. Her fat middle was painfully taut, the blue orb bulging heavily over the waistband of her sweatpants and sagging into her lap. "Gotta go...gym..." she mumbled, gesturing at the door as her head lolled back against the couch. Rarity patted her own stuffed belly as she gazed approvingly at her friend. "Shhh...it's all right, Rainbow. You can nap here if you like." Within seconds the pegasus had lapsed into a food coma. Rarity placed her own empty carton on the table, snatched up a few napkins and began dabbing at the crumbs and grease clinging to her cheeks. Her gaze slowly returned to her friend passed out on the couch. Rainbow Dash looked so beautiful like this, didn't she? The unicorn looked past Rainbow's food-fattened gut and stared at her voluptuous tits, her thickened thighs, the way her chunky rump sank into the leather cushions... Rarity blushed as a damp heat rose between her thighs. A particularly naughty thought crossed her mind, but she pushed it aside. What if Rainbow woke up? Instead, she wiggled her way to the edge of her chair and hauled herself upright with a grunt of effort. Rarity waddled back to the kitchen, a hand clutched around her calorie-swollen gut, and dumped the empty ice cream cartons into the already-overflowing trashcan. One thing was for certain to her - this diet spell was working perfectly. If she and her friends were this voluptuous now, imagine how sexy they would be after another week...! "Rarity! Hello?" Twilight Sparkle pushed open the back door to Carousel Boutique, glancing around for her friend. The unicorn's kitchen was uncharacteristically messy, with dirty dishes and stacked atop every counter. Twilight peered into a half-open cabinet to her right, noting that it was completely empty. The purple pony heard the clatter of silverware, turned towards the noise and strode through to the living room. "Rarity? I'm back from Canterlot and I-" The purple pony gasped in shock as she caught sight of her. The white unicorn sat sprawled on the couch, the leather cushions squashed flat by their current occupant. Rarity was huge! Her belly had swollen into a blubbery white ball of flab that filled her lap, forcing her hefty thighs apart. The unicorn's gargantuan breasts sagged against the upper swell of her gut, contained barely by a shapeless purple tube top. Flabby arms wobbled as Rarity methodically scooped ice cream from an open carton and shoveled it into her mouth. The sunlit room was littered with food stains, empty plates and discarded takeout containers. "Rarity, what happened?" Twilight exclaimed. "Oh, just a little snack before lunchtime," Rarity said, shoving another spoonful of ice cream past her lips. "You're so FAT!" "Don't be rude, darling," she replied with an arch of her eyebrow. "The spell...this is the spell's doing, isn't it?" Twilight said, her voice rising. "Oh, yes... grand, isn't it?" Rarity drawled as she took another bite. "Oh Rarity, I'm so sorry! I should have known better than to loan away untested magic! Here, hold still and I'll remove that diet spell from you right now." "WHAT?!" Rarity shrieked, nearly choking on her ice cream. *cough* "You...will do no such *cough* thing!" Twilight's shocked concern turned to confusion. "Huh? Rarity, let me remove it! I'll find some way to get you back to normal, I swear!" "You're just jealous!" she fired back. "Jealous of my *urrp* ...beautiful new figure!" The white unicorn reached around with her fat arms, grasping and jiggling her enormous tits. "Honestly Twilight, I can't believe you'd be so...SELFISH!" "What?!" the unicorn exclaimed. "Rarity, I'm not jealous. That spell must be out of control! You're not making any sense!" Rarity turned her nose up, her plump jowls wobbling. Her bookish friend's lanky physique, tucked into a plain sweater vest and jeans, looked positively pitiful! "Of course. I wouldn't expect a waif like you to understand true beauty." "Alright, that's enough," Twilight growled. Her horn glowed a bright lavender as she prepared to dispel the dieting spell that was clearly manipulating her friend. Rarity's ample body began to glow purple. The white unicorn yelped in protest as a low hum of magic filled the room. Twilight cast the spell, and the hum pitched up loudly - then fizzled and dissipated with a shower of sparkles. "Ugh. That diet spell's too strong. I'll need to prepare a stronger anti-magic charm to remove it." the purple unicorn said to herself. She frowned with pity at her blubbery friend, who glowered back. "Look, I'll be back tomorrow to remove this thing. Then I'll work on getting you back to normal." The word normal caused Rarity to wince with disgust. Fear and anger welled up inside her. "Don't bother!" she huffed indignantly. "I am perfectly *urp* happy with my new body!" Twilight held up a hand dismissively. "Just...don't go anywhere!" she said distractedly and turned to leave, her mind already buzzing with the cantrips and concoctions she would need to dispel the magic that had taken hold of her friend. Rarity glowered at Twilight as she left. "Unbelievable!" she huffed to herself as the purple pony slammed the back door. "That jealous twig dares to criticize my body! Take away my spell!" The unicorn paused her rant to gulp down more ice cream. Its contents were rapidly melting, so she abandoned the spoon, held the carton to her lips, and methodically gulped down down the cold sweet dessert. Rarity licked her lips, let loose a frosty belch and tossed the empty carton aside. Twilight's words flashed into her mind. "I can't lose this," the unicorn said softly, hands grasping at her enormous busom and bloated belly. She racked her brain, thinking of a way to save herself. A delicious idea began to form inside her spell-addled mind. The fashionista felt a familiar warmth stir within her as she fondled and jiggled her flab. Rarity reached lower, probing underneath her blubbery gut. She sank down lower into her seat, pulling her chunky thighs apart to allow her fingers to stroke the plump lips of her dampening marehood. "So big, so beautiful..." the mare moaned as she groped her tits and belly, then inserted a finger between her nethers. As Rarity slowly diddled herself, another thought flew into her mind. "Dash, Pinkie, Fluttershy!" she gasped breathlessly. "I need to warn them!" The unicorn leaned sideways and fumbled with her free hand for her phone. She found it buried between the couch cushions and placed it by her side. As she contemplated calling them, her belly grumbled. "Perhaps...after lunch..." she remarked. The thought of more delicious food sent a pulse of warmth through her. She returned to diddling herself and was rewarded with a shiver of pleasure. Her mind turned to thoughts of food, of lunch and dinner and snacks in between, all to sate her endless hunger while her body grew bigger, fuller, sexier... Rarity unlocked the front door of Carousel Boutique and hurriedly stepped outside. After a generous lunch the fashionista had cleaned herself up and hurriedly stitched together an extra-large sundress that just managed to fit around her bulky figure. The straps pinched against her voluminous breasts, while the white cotton fabric was stretched taut around the round girth of her belly. It will have to do, the unicorn thought as she snatched a straw hat and a purple sash from inside. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie stood outside waiting for her. The pegasus was even fatter than the last time she had visited - her blue belly had swollen into a blubbery gut that was tucked tightly into an oversized navy tracksuit. Pinkie had her own ballooning middle sagging heavily over the waistband of her maroon stretch pants, which were barely able to contain her now enormous ass. "Good, you're here," Rarity said hurriedly to her friends. "We're here, all right," Rainbow Dash smoldered. "Rarity, I've been eating like a pig the last few days! Captain Spitfire won't let me back on the team until I lose all this weight!" "Yeah, it's been super fun eating so many sweets. But I think Mr. Cake is still mad I ate all of Sugarcube Corner's stock last night..." Pinkie Pie added with a sheepish grin. "Well, you're both in luck. Twilight will be here tomorrow to undo the spell!" "Really? GREAT!" Rainbow Dash pumped two flabby arms into the air. "It's NOT great!" Rarity wailed. "Don't you see? Once the spell is undone, all our marvelous curves will be undone. We'll be back to normal!" "Would that really be that bad, Rarity?" "YES!" the fashionista answered defiantly. "Look, let's spend this time wisely, darlings. If we eat enough tonight, perhaps we'll be big enough that the spell won't take all of this away. We'll still keep our curves!" "Are you SURE that's how it works?" Rainbow replied, her hands against her generous blue hips. "Positively," Rarity replied. "One last meal, then tomorrow we'll still be the sexiest mares in Equestria!" "YAY!" Pinkie cheered. She attempted to hop for joy, but her chunky hooves barely cleared the ground. The pink pony huffed as she stumbled, arms flailing and belly wobbling as she steadied herself. "Where's Fluttershy?" "Dunno," Rainbow replied. "She hasn't been answering her phone. Nopony's seen her since we were at the pool..." Rarity huffed. "Well, we'd better go get her," she said irritably. The trio of mares began to wobble across town to Fluttershy's cottage. Ponies ducked out of their way, gawking or giggling as they passed. Rarity did her best to strut and sashay from side to side, but the result was more of a slow waddle that sloshed her bloated belly and tits with every step. Pinkie Pie trundled after her, hands clutched around her pink ball of a belly to help keep her balance. Rainbow Dash brought up the rear, clutching her hat tightly over her rainbow mane in a vain attempt to not be recognized as her blubbery body jiggled. Finally the three made it to the outskirts of Ponyville and lumbered up the walk to their friend's cottage. Rarity paused at the door, wiping sweat from her brow as she gasped for breath, then rang the wind-chime doorbell hanging to one side. Half a minute passed with no response. "Are you sure she's home?" Rainbow Dash puffed from behind her. "She better be," the unicorn grumbled as she composed herself. "Fluttershy, it's us. Open up, dear!" "Just leave it by the door!" said a faint voice from inside the cottage. "Hmm? Fluttershy, it's your friends. We're here to see you!" There was no response. Rarity tapped her hoof impatiently, then finally tried the door handle, and found that it was open. With a shrug she opened the door and stepped inside, followed by Dash and Pinkie. The light inside was dim, despite the midday sun, as dark curtains had been drawn over most of the windows. A clatter rang out as Rarity's hoof kicked away an empty soda bottle. As their eyes adjusted to the gloom, the ponies noticed that empty dishes, silverware and takeout containers were piled high in every corner of the room. The three let out a collective gasp as they finally caught sight of their friend. An enormous butterball of a pegasus sat sprawled on the ruined green sofa across from them. Her round yellow belly spilled out several feet, burying her legs and resting heavily atop a sagging coffee table. Perched atop it were two fat breasts, each larger than a pony's head. A blubbery face and pink mane was barely visible beyond her cleavage. She looked completely naked, except for a handful of napkins stuffed between her tits. "Oh! Um, hi girls..." Fluttershy said quietly. "FLUTTERSHY!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "What happened to you?!" The yellow pegasus' round cheeks began to blush. "Well, I..." "Wow, Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Your tummy's even bigger than mine!" "Dash, Pinkie, don't judge her!" Rarity scolded as Fluttershy blushed even redder. "She's just...been bulking up her figure, same as us!" "Oh... I'm sorry!" Fluttershy said. "I've just been so hungry lately! Eating out was so embarrassing, so Angel's been ordering take-out for me." Rainbow Dash looked around for the enabling little rabbit, but he was nowhere to be found. "Well, now that we've found you, it's time to get ready for dinner. Any longer and we'll be stuck waiting for a table!" Rarity said, checking the time on a nearby wall clock. "Dinner? Oh, no thanks, I'm not hungry," Fluttershy said. A moment later her gut betrayed her with a hungry, gurgling growl. "Fluttershy, this is serious!" Rarity said, hands at her generous hips. "This is our last meal before this spell is removed. You can't miss it!" "Umm...well...I don't..." the pegasus fumbled under her friend's gaze. "You WILL come with us!" Rarity shouted and stomped her hoof on the floor, causing her entire body to jiggle. Fluttershy eep'd sharply at her friend's anger. "...Okay," she replied in a barely audible whisper. "Now come on!" the unicorn commanded, grabbing one chunky yellow arm. Pinkie grabbed the other and together they began to tug Fluttershy off the couch. "Nngh...pull HARDER!" Rarity grunted as the yellow pegasus slowly rolled forward. Fluttershy huffed as her belly blubber squashed against the groaning coffee table. Pinkie Pie ooh'd in surprise as her friend's mammoth thighs and rump were pulled out of the seat. A minute of desperate tugging later and Fluttershy was finally standing up. The yellow pony gingerly took a step forward, carefully balancing her fat-swaddled belly with her jiggly yellow ass. "Rarity, she can't go out like this!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, gesturing plaintively at the naked pegasus. "Not a problem," Rarity said through gritted teeth. She pulled several sewing tools and some emergency thread from her handbag, then began waddling around the cottage hunting for fabric. Within ten minutes she had fashioned a makeshift poncho from an old blanket, draped it over the pegasus' titanic tits and belly. She then took a green bedsheet, tugged it under the heavy apron of her gut and around her chunky rear, and tied it into a makeshift sarong. "Alright Rarity," Rainbow grumbled. "We've got Fluttershy. Now where are we going?" "Why, to the buffet of course!" the unicorn replied with a flourish. The Maître d' of the Silver Stable Buffet's jaw dropped as four of the largest ponies he had ever seen pushed themselves through the front doors. The purple unicorn shuffled the menus on his podium to cover his mouth, but his eyes couldn't look away. The rotund white one in front approached him. That purple mane...was that Rarity? And Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie... good Celestia, what had happened to them? "Welcome to the Silver Stable Buffet," the stallion managed to blurt out. Rarity leaned forwards and gave him an uncomfortably hungry-looking smile. "Good afternoon, dear. Are you serving dinner yet? We're quite famished." "Uh...yes, actually, I think we're stocking the buffet now." "Ah, very good! In that case, we'll be reserving your entire place for the evening." "W-what...?" the stallion balked. "I'm sorry ma'am, but without a prior reservation you-" "Oh, don't be silly! I've more than enough to cover the bill." "It's not that," he replied. "We're expecting a private party in the next hour. The dining room is fully booked. You can't-" Rarity silenced him with a wave of her fleshy arm. She pulled her handbag off her shoulder and rooted around for her phone. "This place is still owned by the Rich family, is it not?" the unicorn asked. The stallion nodded meekly. "Then perhaps you'd like to tell Filthy Rich that his most important clothing and linen supplier, who designed his own daughter's Cutecinera dress, is being denied service at his own restaurant?" "B-but..." Rarity poked her fingers at the screen, pulling up his boss's number. "Well, go on, tell him!" she challenged, shoving the phone in his face. "That...won't be necessary!" he recoiled in defeat, then motioned towards the doors. "Please go ahead and seat yourself!" "Hmph. Much better!" The white unicorn turned up her nose and lumbered past him, followed by her friends. The restaurant's dining room was ringed with tables laden with cutlery, plates and serving dishes. Food was everywhere - enough to serve dozens of ponies with leftovers to spare. Deep trays of hot dishes lay under glass and heat lamps. Appetizers and side dishes, salads and desserts sat piled high on large serving dishes. The four mares' mouths began to water as the scents of so much food drifted towards them. The middle of the room was empty, with stacks of tables and chairs still waiting to be set up. Several ponies in waitstaff attire paused from carrying in dishes to gawk at their guests. The maître d' appeared and shepherded them out of the room. Moments later they returned, grabbing a table and four chairs and setting them up in the center of the dining room. "Enjoy your meal, ladies," the stallion said with a pained smile as he retreated back to his podium. The four mares waddled towards their seats. Rarity smiled as the familiar sound of growling stomachs could be heard around the table. She looked around for the waitstaff, but it appeared they had fallen back to the kitchens too. "Hmmm. I guess we'll be serving ourselves tonight. Oh well..." Rainbow Dash grumbled as she leapt up and trudged towards the salad bar. In a minute she had returned with a plate piled high with salad, seasoned generously with croutons and dressing, and a handful of breadsticks. Pinkie Pie snatched a chocolate fondue pot for their table, and returned with a smorgasbord of pretzels, fruits and cookies to dip into the rich hot chocolate and snack on. Rarity and Fluttershy both made for the main buffet table; the fashionista loaded up a plate with roast beef, gravy and scalloped potatoes, while the animal-loving pegasus scooped up an extra-large portion of pasta casserole topped with cheese and mushrooms. "Bon Appetit, girls!" Rarity sang out as she dug a knife and fork into her roast beef. The sounds of smacking lips and eager chewing filled the room as the four mares began their feast. Pinkie Pie giggled as she dipped treat after treat into chocolate and wolfed them down. Fluttershy steadily slurped down her pasta while Rarity carved into her roast beef. Rainbow Dash tore through her salad, then hurriedly began chomping through breadsticks. The four mares devoured their portions with astonishing speed. Rainbow Dash stared at her empty plate, sighed in resignation, and lurched up to trudge back to the salad bar for seconds. The pegasus shoveled lettuce and vegetables onto her waiting dish, trying desperately not to look at the rich, calorific entrees sitting nearby. Healthy food, think healthy thoughts... Dash winced as a pang of hunger overtook her, and in response she shoved a forkful of salad into her mouth. One forkful become two, then three, and before long she was shoveling salad past her lips straight from the serving dish. Rainbow hunched over the salad bar, trying desperately to plug her hunger. Hungry hands reached for a nearby stack of breadsticks and dinner rolls to accompany her feast. Her swollen blue belly squashed and wobbled against the countertop as she glutted on carbs. The piles of salad and rolls were demolished in a matter of minutes. "URRRRPP!" Rainbow Dash belched, surveying the empty table cluttered with crumbs and dabs of salad dressing. Her eyes lazed over to the nearest entrée table - a series of thick deep-dish pizzas. The blue pony's willpower collapsed as she snatched up a pizza and waddled back to the table to chow down. The other three mares had obtained their own second courses. Pinkie Pie had helped herself to a feast of fried chicken laden with dipping sauces. Fluttershy was practically inhaling slab after slab of rich vegetable lasagna. And Rarity was tucking in to a thick porterhouse steak laden with extra onions. The white unicorn beamed at her friends as she watched them eat. So filling! So free! A familiar warmth shuddered through her nethers as returned to carving up her steak. Rainbow Dash chomped through her cheesy pizza, belched, then rose from her seat again. She returned with a platter of soft tacos laden with beef, beans and cheese. The mare absentmindedly doused each taco with hot sauce, then shoved of one past her lips. Rainbow's eyes flew open as she nearly gagged. "H-HOT!" the pegasus cried, her mouth on fire. She snatched up a nearby pitcher of cider and gulped most of it down. Pinkie Pie giggled at the sight from across the table. "Too spicy for ya, Dashie?" Rainbow Dash ignored her and returned to cramming down tacos. Sweat beaded on her brow as she struggled through the extra hot dish, washing each one down with a generous gulp from a pitcher of apple cider. After several minutes she had managed to stuff them all down. Rainbow gasped for breath, her reddened face damp with perspiration. "Too...hot..." she mumbled as she reached for the zipper on her tracksuit top. The pegasus unzipped and peeled the sweat-soaked garment off her chest and shoulders, exposing her watermelon tits and beach ball gut to the entire table. Rarity nearly choked on her steak as she stared at her friend's naked tits. The warmth between her legs intensified as she stared at the swollen blue orbs beside her. Rainbow said nothing, but instead blearily rose from the table and waddled over to the dessert table. She returned with two cartons of ice cream and began hurriedly shoveling them down. Their entrees gave way to desserts. Rarity tucked into several generous slices of cheesecake as she continued to sneak glances at her naked friend. Pinkie Pie plowed her way through a pile of brownies and chocolate chip cookies. And Fluttershy contented herself with a bowl of bread pudding and peach cobbler perched atop her breasts and ladled into her waiting mouth. Rarity noticed her friends were flagging, eating slower and slower as their hunger was sated. A stab of panic overtook her as she heard their groans of fullness. They were still too small! Not curvy enough! Not sexy enough! Her food-addled mind flashed the solution, and she did the unthinkable. Rarity cast the diet spell again. Blue light enveloped the four mares around the table. Rainbow Dash groaned and doubled over as her gut suddenly roared with hunger. Fluttershy gasped and spilled her bowl of pudding. "Ohh, so hungry!!" Pinkie Pie cried, hands squeezing into her swollen pink belly. Rarity winced as her own stomach gnawed at her, suddenly empty and ravenous. Her mind swam with visions of breasts and bellies, bottoms and thighs. The only word she could think of was MORE. The spell dissipated, and she struggled to control herself. "Keep going girls...plenty more to eat!" she said with a shudder. The four mares leapt up from the table and waddled as fast as their chunky legs could take them. Entire serving platters were snatched up and carried back to their table. Rarity tucked in to a heaping dish of roast beef, cramming huge mouthfuls of the steaming savory meat into her mouth. The unicorn held up a gravy boat, guzzling down gravy to wash down the beef before plunging a serving spoon into a pan of garlic mashed potatoes. Rainbow Dash noisily devoured a plate heaped with meatloaf and fried chicken. Fluttershy slurped down a dozen vegetable dumplings, then began plucking fried fish fillets from a basket, dipping them in sauce and chomping them down. Pinkie Pie was face down in a serving dish of chicken pot pie, only poking her crumb-coated muzzle up to drink from an open bottle of soda nearby. The ponies began to visibly expand under the onslaught of calories. Blue, white, yellow and pink bellies groaned as they swelled rounder and heavier in their laps. Newfound flab began to thicken their already hefty rears and thighs. Rainbow Dash's navy training sweats were stretched taut around her ballooning butt. Stitches and threads began to pop as the elastic garment was pushed past its limit. Pinkie Pie's T-shirt lost its battle with her tits and belly and was torn asunder. Her stretch pants creaked and ripped, just barely hanging on as her enormous ass overflowed her chair. Fluttershy's makeshift poncho and sarong fell away as she lumbered back to the table with more food. The rotund yellow pegasus didn't even blush as she reached around her naked tits for more to eat. Rarity barely noticed her friends' wardrobe malfunctions. Stitches popped and seams split as the unicorn greedily stuffed herself with food. Her own flimsy sundress was finally torn asunder, the ruined garment falling away from her swollen breasts and her wrecking ball of a gut. The fashionista was unconcerned. "Large-!" she gasped, fondling her now bare tit with one hand, while the other shoved a massive slice of cheesecake past her lips. Across the table, Fluttershy had finished her fish fillets. "Nnng...nggg!" she gasped as she struggled to rise from the table to get more. Her flabby hooves scraped the tiled floor, but the bloated mass of her gut kept her rooted to the spot. Rarity spotted her distress and ignited her horn. Serving dishes glowed blue and floated over their heads, landing on the table before them. Plump fingers shot forwards as the ravenous mares dug into yet more servings of rich, greasy buffet food. As the last slice of cheesecake disappeared down her throat, the unicorn paused to take in her friends. Rainbow Dash was gulping down slider burgers one after another, in between handfuls of potato fries and onion rings. Her naked blue belly sat heavily against the table ledge, sloshing and gurgling as it slowly grew bigger. Across from her, Pinkie Pie had the remains of a dozen desserts in front of her, and was absentmindedly stuffing her face with huge handfuls of cake, cookies and brownies. The earth pony's full, sagging tits were coated with frosting, crumbs and grease. Rarity shoved a handful of bread pudding into her mouth to keep from moaning. Her loins burned with the sight of her friends' plump, voluptuous curves. She turned her attention back to Fluttershy. The enormous yellow pegasus stared blearily at a heaping pile of meat dishes on the table before her - fried chicken, thick-cut steaks, sausages and pork chops. "Let me *mmf* help you, dear," Rarity purred in between swallows of pudding. Blue magic enveloped the meat as she levitated it upwards. Fluttershy let out a feeble squeak of protest as a steak was forced into her mouth. Her eyes unfocused as the unfamiliar taste of beef flooded her mind, and after a moment she began to chew. Rarity smiled and helped herself to another steak as she fed the obedient pegasus pony. More and more food levitated in front of them. Their table groaned as it was piled high with dishes. Blubbery tits and hefty guts collided with it as the four mares swelled ever fatter. Groans mixed with chewing as their flabby arms struggled to force more food into their plump muzzles. There was a loud CRACK as their table finally collapsed, spilling food and plates everywhere. Rainbow Dash yelped as she was thrown off balance and rolled off to her side. Pinkie began to roll forward, but was rooted in place by the weight of her gut. Pink, white and yellow bellies spilled out over the collapsed table. Rarity grunted as she futilely reached for the piles of spilled food atop the collapsed table. It was impossible to reach past the vast swell of her gut, and its enormous weight rooted her in place. After a moment of struggle, the unicorn righted herself, then refocused her magic. Food began to levitate off the scattered serving dishes and float towards them, this time hovering above their heads and flying directly towards their mouths. Rainbow Dash gasped as a line of a dozen glazed donuts pushed themselves past her lips one after another, forcing her to chew and swallow madly to keep pace. Across from her Pinkie Pie squeaked as a large pizza was rolled up and shoved into her mouth. The pink pony's cheeks bulged as she struggled to avoid gagging on the saucy, cheesy crust. Fluttershy received an entire baked ham, which pressed itself insistently against her lips. The pegasus meekly began tearing off large bites, grease and spittle dripping down her growing triple chin. Rarity lifted a toureen of minestrone soup to her lips, gulped it down, and tossed it aside. "If Twilight thinks she can take her spell back...we'll just have to make the most of it before it wears off!" She called out to her friends. "Right, girls?" *Mnph!* "What are you doing to us, Rarity?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as a procession of baked goods were crammed into her mouth. Her beloved blue tits were smeared with sugar and crumbs. "Why can't I *glp* move?!" "Oh, stop complaining and fill that gullet with more *uurp* donuts, darling," Rarity snapped. "A-actually Rarity, I think she's right..." Pinkie said, "my butt might be getting a little TOO big-" *hmnph!* Rarity huffed as she shoved an entire fried chicken into Pinkie's mouth. "All that whining will never get you two a full figure!" she screamed. "Just look at Fluttershy!" "Hnnfh..." *glk* "...mnnph..." the yellow pegasus mumbled as a long chain of sausages were steadily stuffed between her cheeks. Her eyes were unfocused as she mindlessly swallowed mouthful after mouthful of meat. Her massive gut gurgled and groaned as it pressed into the other ponies, fighting for room to expand, its surface patterned with dull red stretch marks. "S-she kinda sounds like she's gonna..." Pinkie Pie said nervously, her hand pressing against the drum taut side of the pegasus' stomach. "B-burst!" Rainbow said as her head was enveloped in soft yellow flab. "KEEP EATING!!" Rarity wailed as she force-fed her friends. Her horn flared blue as the last of the buffet treys floated over their heads and dumped their contents between them. Pastas and casseroles, cakes and sandwiches all splattered into a pile between their swelling guts. Blue magic pulled them apart and levitated a line of treats towards each of them. As the last wave of food approached their mouths, the dining room doors clattered open to reveal a trim purple unicorn clutching a pair of spell books. Twilight Sparkle gasped at the pastel blimps of her four friends. "HOLD IIIIIT!!!" she screamed, her horn aflame. An electrifying hum filled the room as she cast the extra-strength anti-magic charm she had memorized that morning. A blinding white flash overtook the five mares, then vanished with a *snap*. Rainbow Dash grimaced as gobs of food rained down on them, no longer being held aloft by Rarity's magic. The constant emptiness of her stomach had suddenly been replaced by intense overfullness. The pegasus gingerly groped the drum-taut sphere of her overpacked belly. "Ohhh..." Pinkie Pie moaned across from her, rubbing her hands in circles against the sides of her enormous gut. "I think I'm gonna be siiick..." The massive ball of yellow blubber between them groaned and quaked. Dash and Pinkie looked warily up at Fluttershy. *UUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPP!!!* The elephantine pegasus let loose a massive belch that rocked her entire body. Fluttershy's eyes glazed over as she rocked back in forth in a stupor, too exhausted and full to even excuse herself. Beside them Rarity grunted and smacked her lips as she struggled to cram a turkey leg into her mouth. The unicorn huffed as she forced one last massive bite down her throat and into her completely overstuffed stomach. Her 'figure' was a mess of lard-laden rolls and quaking blubber, with a red-tinted gut that rivaled Fluttershy's in size. "Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity!" Twilight Sparkle asked worriedly. "Oh my Celestia, are you all okay?" Rarity's eyes refocused, and she craned her head over a thick neck roll to spy the other unicorn. "Oh...ish you. Go ahead, try and take all ish away!" "The spell is gone, Rarity! Please, snap out of it!" Twilight pleaded with her. The white unicorn's brow furrowed as she glanced at her fattened friends, then at her own enormous busom and gut. "But our...curves. We're still so large. You haven't...removed it?" "Oh, Rarity, what are you talking about? I looked over the spell - Didala's Dieting Directive just changes your appetite, not your weight! All those extra pounds are real. I can't take them away!" "Urgh...WHAT?" Rainbow Dash crowed, her face still half-smothered with Fluttershy blubber. "RARITY..." "Umm..." Rarity blushed as she looked back at the blue pegasus's growing fury. Fluttershy had already passed out into a food coma. Pinkie Pie was rocking back and forth atop her enormous gut, trying to flop backwards onto her titanic ass. A bubble welled within her gut, causing her to scrunch her muzzle. "UUURP!" her lips parted to let loose a very un-ladylike belch. "...Excuse me?" she said with a sheepish smile. "Dear Princess Celestia, "This week I learned [yet again] about the dangers of untested magic. It may feel wrong to deny other ponies access to powerful spells. But the risks can often outweigh the benefits. Magic must always be studied and tested carefully, because..." Twilight Sparkle grumbled as she twisted the quill pen in her fingers. "...because otherwise your friends might end up fattened into prize pigs." Perhaps it would be best to leave out the specifics. The princess didn't have to know, right? The purple pony looked up from her desk inside the Golden Oaks Library to gaze at the clouds beyond her open window. It had certainly felt wrong to refuse any kind of weight loss spells for her friends. Rainbow Dash had been particularly indignant about that. But it was for the best. No more magical experiments! Hopefully they'd be slimmed down enough for them to get together soon. A few months of exercise never hurt anypony, right? Rainbow Dash had been shipped off to Cloudsale, to the Wonderbolts' private training grounds. At that moment the butterball of a pegasus was gasping for breath, her hips and belly sloshing violently, as she struggled to run a lap around their exercise track. Sweat poured across her brow, soaking into her skintight tracksuit. Captain Spitfire watched with disdain from the stands, having given up on timing the blue pony's sluggish, waddling progress. It would take a miracle for the rainbow-maned racer to get in shape in time for next year's competitions... Back in Ponyville, the Cakes had sent Pinkie Pie to live on the Apple family farm. Applejack had gently but firmly put the party pony to work, bucking apples and hauling produce 'the old fashioned way' from dawn till dusk. Pinkie sighed as she labored in the family orchards, leaning her massive rump against an apple tree, which buckled under her weight. Her expansive gut wobbled, crammed as it was into a barely-fitting set of denim overalls. She didn't mind the work, but the diet was a killer - nothing but fruits and veggies until she slimmed down, and NO trips to Sugarcube Corner. It had taken six ponies and a door widening spell to haul Fluttershy out of the buffet. The yellow pegasus, flushed beet red with intense embarrassment, was remanded to Zecora's care deep within the Everfree Forest. Now she sat crammed into a corner in the zebra's cottage, hands folded gently atop her enormous gut, waiting for a brew of weight loss tonic to come to a boil. Fluttershy could barely walk, let alone exercise, coated with as much flab as she was. The mortified pegasus pledged to eat only one carrot a day for the rest of her life - or at least until she could return home. And Rarity? She'd calmed down enough to accept a ticket to a private spa near Las Pegasus that specialized in eating disorders. Nopony had seen her for days. But despite the 'CLOSED' sign on the Carousel Boutique's front door, the establishment had been receiving a curious amount of deliveries. And ponies passing by swore they could hear something inside - tearing up packaging, the clatter of silverware and occasionally a sing-song voice calling out for one thing: "...More!!"
