Flurry Heart, Princess of Gluttony, ch 6

Glorping and giggling, the swollen princess Flurry Heart murmured with bliss peacefully in her sleep. Just as she thought, her aunt Luna had graced her dreams with yet another rapturous feast, all while her stomach digested the one she just finished with her aunt Celestia. She stood atop a mountain of ice cream, in a world formed by desserts. With her mouth open, she slid her way down, fattening up to twice her size by the time she reached the bottom. Moaning and feeling fit to burst, she hauled herself to the mountain’s base, eating her way inside until she reached the center, laying on her back. As the interior hallowed out, the mountain would collapse inward, burying the piggy princess and pouring everything right into her open mouth. Enamored by the rush of ice cream and her body swelling with tons of blubber and lard, she could hardly keep her hooves off of her growing belly, feeling it pin her down with its surging weight. 

She had slept through all of Saturday enjoying her dreams of overindulgence, glutting herself deep into the next night and becoming a behemoth of a blob. Unfortunately, it was not to last, as her dream world became shrouded by darkness, and green and purple flames soon burnt the night sky. A startling hissing sound jolted her awake, while sitting on the pillow beside her, was the glowing orb of Madam Ruby, fully aroused with the fiery image of the mare herself staring back at her. 

Getting out of bed and carrying the orb in her wing, the engorged princess reluctantly roamed the dark halls of the castle, following Madam Ruby’s directions. Some of the previous day’s feast still sat in her belly, causing it to squelch with each step. Normally, Flurry Heart would feel more pleased with her thighs rubbing against her underbelly, or her hips and love handles jiggling about. But waking up in the dead of night while still swollen from her gorge, made her yearn for nothing more than to collapse where she stood and willingly pass out. 

Traversing deeping into the castle’s upper floors, and walking up one too many stairwells, the two had reached their destination. The decor appeared older than the other parts of the castle; the hallways were adorned with antique armors, tapestries, banners, and carpets of the sun and moon, and old paintings of Equestria back when it was still fields and farmlands. Traveling down the long hall, they walked through an imposingly large doorway, more than wide enough to fit Flurry’s swaying flanks. The moonlight gleamed through the diamond shaped glass windows along the left wall, revealing an assortment of strange objects sealed within glass cases, all of them strewn about the room. 

“What is this place,” Flurry Heart yawned.

“This is the castle’s reliquary,” said Madam Ruby, “it’s where the two sisters store some of their most powerful and ancient artifacts.” 

 “Okay…and…why are we here?”

“We’re here, because it is a part of your current task.”

“Ugh, did we have to come so late? I can barely keep my eyes open. How did you even know about this room anyway?”

“Enough whining. Simply keep on the lookout for a crown of sorts, then we could leave.” 

Flurry snorted, her eyes growing heavy and her legs feeling like jello. She barely peered around the room, leaving most of the work to Madam Ruby as she lifted up the orb with her wing. The stillness of the room and only her glorping body for noise helped to lull her into a restful state. Nodding off with each languid step, the sudden excitement of Madam Ruby shook her awake. 

“There it is!” 

Flurry looked over to a glass case at the end of the room. The case itself was adorned with lavender engravings of the moon, and within it, a crystal tiara with a bluish glow hovered in place. 

“Huh,” the princess tilted her head, none too impressed with the artifact. “We came for one of princess Luna’s crowns? Doesn’t she have like…a bunch in her room? Why’s this one special?” 

“This isn’t just another one of Luna’s crowns, child. This, ‘dream tiara,’ has special properties. Along with giving the wearer the ability to peer into dreams as she does, it also allows them to peer into their distant memories.”

The princess held a hoof to her mouth, yawning once again. “Okay…whatever. We found it already, so now it’s back to bed.”

Reaching out to the case handle, her hoof suddenly encountered a barrier of blue magic encompassing the entire case. “Oh…uh, it’s magically sealed…I guess.”

“Then break through the seal with your own magic.” 

“Uh-hehe. I uh-kinda don’t know how to do…that.” 

The orb grew a brighter purple; the flame’s surrounding Madam Ruby flared with rage, causing the orb to grow warmer in Flurry’s wing. “You’re an alicorn princess! How is it that you lack even the most rudimentary of magic prowess?”

“Gosh, don’t chip a hoof. I just never really cared to practice, that’s all. All that reading, and studying, it’s so boring. It’s like, why open up a book when I can open up a wrapper, you know?” 

“Oh, of all the ponies in Canterlot…” 

Madam Ruby took a deep breath, the purple and green flames around her simmering down. “Very well, we’ll simply find another way to break the seal. The Canterlot library will surely have something to help you, and we won’t stop until we find it.”

The thought of spending a whole day studying in the Canterlot library made Flurry want to roll her eyes and groan. “Yeah, that’s not gunna happen. My aunts will know I went to the library and end up telling my mom when she asks what I’ve been doing. She’ll know I’m up to something, because she knows I wouldn’t be caught dead studying and reading books.”  

 Touching the blue barrier a second time, she tapped her double chin with a hoof. Then, it hit her, a sudden flash of genius that could turn a boring afternoon into a most enjoyable one. 

“But I know somepony who loves both of those things, and she has her own library too.” Licking her lips, Flurry lifted her large glorping belly in her hooves. “Mmmff, And I know the perfect excuse to go and visit her.” 

    *

Thankful to receive more sleep, Flurry Heart rested through the rest of the night, waking up an hour before noon. The warm Sunday sun revitalized her lard coated bones and brushed against her wings and back rolls. She smiled while doing her morning hygiene, freshening herself up for what was to be an exciting day away from the castle. After informing Celestia and Luna of her departure, the two sisters were beyond elated with her idea, offering her more than enough bits to cover a large hearty meal for herself. Wasting little time, she waddled at a brisk pace down to the train station. 

Flurry grew anxious on the train ride to her destination, thinking about all the food she would add to her still digesting gut. Her heart raced as they descended down the mountain, following the cascading river of water trailing down into the grassy valley below, forming a serpent-like stream that trailed through woods and distant hills. Her eyes glistened at the quaint-humbled town of Ponyville growing ever closer. She stood before the double wide doors once the train pulled into the station, gasping when they opened, and thrilled to see her third beloved aunt after so long. 

“Twilight!”

Flurry Heart waddled over, hugging and squishing the purple alicorn into her corpulent bulk.

“Flurry, hnng, Heart. Goodness,  you’ve grown, uff, so much.” 

“I know, isn’t it awesome? I’m not as big as I was a month ago, but still pretty huge. Just imagine how much bigger I’d be if mom hadn’t put me on a diet.”

Released from the portly princess’ grip, Twilight gathered her breath. “Well, huff, she won’t have to worry about our little dinner date. After I got your letter, I formed a list of a couple places in Ponyville that serve healthy-low fat meals, like daisy sandwiches and filling salads.” 

Flurry Heart wobbled with laughter, nearly knocking Twilight over when playfully bumping her with her flank. “Oh Twilight, and I thought aunt Pinkie told the funniest jokes. Which way was it to the Hayburger again? I couldn’t stop thinking about wolfing down a dozen triple hayburger combos on the train ride over.” 

“T-the Hayburger? But, what about your diet? Does your mother know about any of this?”

“Of course she does, she’s okay with it. The whole reason she left me with my aunts was to enjoy myself; like having a cheat day, but for the weekend, since I’ve been so good with my exercising. Celestia and Luna have already treated me so good,” she gave the side of her belly a pat, “but I’ve saved the best for last. Glutting down hayburgers with my auntie Twilight.” 

Twilight blushed, honored to receive such high praise from her beloved niece. As they walked down to the Hayburger, they caught up on recent events, with Flurry leaving out any mention of Madam Ruby and her destiny for the Grand Feast. She bragged of her past accomplishments of gluttony, and what joys she had in her gaining. To which Twilight sheepishly congratulated her on, surprised by just how much of a glutton she fattened into since their last visit to the hayburger; back when Flurry was still capable of fitting on a seat, and didn’t make up five times as heavy. 

It amused Flurry Heart having to wriggle her way through the Hayburger front entrance, with Twilight helping to push her from behind. The other customers and some of the staff stared in bewilderment at Flurry’s size,  watching her wide jiggling flanks push aside other chairs and tables. They sat in the center of the restaurant, Flurry’s cushiony plot being the first thing customers would see upon entering. With Celestia and Luna’s money, she made a sizable order. Twilight gulped, staring at her niece’s blubbery belly that loomed over her, still burbling with digestion and eager for more. 

After some waiting, the table was filled with trays piled with multiple burgers, boxes of fries, and cup holders carrying soft drinks and milkshakes. Flurry rubbed her hooves together and dove into her meal, levitating a few trays onto her belly and lifting them up to her face. She made a spectacle of herself to the other customers in attendance, some of which left their food on their tables and walked out. Twilight’s face flushed with embarrassment, her own cheeks puffing out as she chewed up only a single bite of her first burger. 

“Mmmff, orp, so good,” said Flurry Heart, “I always loved coming here with you, hmmf. You’re so lucky you live so close by.”

“Hehe, I don’t know about lucky. Most days I feel I need a good excuse to eat hayburgers, otherwise I feel a bit guilty coming here too much, heh.” 

“Hnnf, not me, urp. If I lived in Ponyville, I’d visit this place every single day.”

Grabbing two triple cheeseburgers in each hoof, Flurry crammed both into her mouth, licking any splatters of grease and ketchup from her lips. What a routine she would make of each day’s visit, warming her belly full of hot burgers and fries until she felt well fed. Something about the surge of flavor from her dark soft drinks washing away the lingering salt and condiments in her mouth, made her tremble with delight. The creamy milkshakes thickening the pool of indigested gorge in her gut, caused it to glorp and gurgle even louder. Hauling around a cauldron of fast food churning within her belly each day made her swoon; drops of sweat trickled down her forehead at the thought of how much fatter she’d grow at the end of each week. 

“Sweet Celestia, I’d end up getting sooo fat. Say, Twilight, how come you never became interested in gaining?”

Twilight pounded her chest, nearly choking on her soda. “W-what? W-what do you mean, hehe?”

“I mean, you were really close to Celestia right? She didn’t tell you stories of back in the day, when she and Luna ate tons of feasts and grew to be extremely big, like she told me?”

“She did, actually. As a filly I definitely had some…influences. But I don’t know, I just never really got into it.” 

“Were you ever curious? Ever thought about how it feels to just…let yourself go?”

Twilight nervously gulped, looking down at her half eaten double hayburger for an answer. “I…I don’t know. Maybe…at one point.” 

Flurry Heart widely grinned. “Well, don’t let your food get cold, go ahead and finish it.” 

As Twilight continued eating her meal, Flurry Heart stared intently at her, like a snake eyeing a mouse for lunch. The fat princess likewise stuffed her face, smiling with cheeks bulging full of food. She swallowed as Twilight swallowed, drank as she drank, and sighed with content after every mouthful, mimicking her like some huge blubbery reflection. The purple alicorn felt relieved once she finally finished her tray, but was suddenly taken aback when her niece slid over another tray of food.

“Here,” said Flurry Heart, “have some more.” 

“T-that’s okay,” Twilight raised a hoof, “I’m finished. Two double hayburgers was more than enough.” 

“Come on Twilight.” Flurry Heart leaned forward, placing one of her plush-luscious forelegs onto the table, while patting her blubbery belly with the other. “Can’t you imagine it? Gorging yourself on all the hayburgers you like? No restrictions; no care in the world what other ponies think. Just you, and a belly full of all your favorite foods.”

“Yeah, but…I’d end up getting awfully—.” 

“Fat? Trust me Twilight, there’s no better feeling than wearing the weight of your gluttonous triumphs with pride. Look at me. All this fat is a testimony of the lengths to which I enjoy every feast. I’m telling you Twilight, you haven’t felt anything like having a belly so jam packed with food, you could feel it squirm and wobble around, massaging you from the inside. Mmmff, it's so amazing.”

The fat alicorn gave her gut a heavy smack, grinning as Twilight hypnotically watched. Her indigested gorge glorped at the impact of her hoof, sloshing itself around and wobbling like a plate of pink jello. She rubbed it in circular motions, squishing her hoof deep into her lard, feeling her gorge churn underneath. Seeing a drop of sweat trickle down Twilight’s face, she gave her belly a playful shake. Her murmurs of delight caused her aunt to nervously swallow spit. 

“W-well…maybe…eating a little more wouldn’t hurt.”

“That’s more like it. I knew you were the coolest out of all my aunts. Just watch, by the time we’re done, you’re gunna feel like a whole new princess.”

Twilight picked up her next burger with a hint of reluctance. It wasn’t until Flurry Heart brought two burgers up to her own mouth that she summoned the courage to do the same. Both princess’ bit into their meals; the purple alicorn chewing slowly and looking downcast at the table, and her niece mirthfully grunting and huffing with breath. Finishing her two burgers, Flurry slid a few more trays over to her aunt, who still nibbled away on her own.

“Orp, don’t be shy, Twilight,” Flurry huskily groaned, readjusting her belly pressing against the table. “You’ve faced some of Equestria’s scariest enemies in the past. Don’t let eating a little extra food make you feel embarrassed. Take a bigger bite, really dig into it.”

Taking a calming breath, Twilight did as instructed. Flurry Heart’s ears tingled at the sloppy sounds of the hayburger being bitten into; the chewiness of the fried hay patties and cheese, the crunch of lettuce, pickles, onions and tomato, and the dripping of grease and condiments, were a feast to the auditory senses. Both of Twilight’s cheeks bulged with her meal. She closed her eyes, savoring the decadent flavor as she chewed. The mass of it caused her to slightly wince upon swallowing, followed by her smiling and murmuring with pleasure.

“Wow, that actually felt…pretty good.” 

“Told ya,” Flurry winked, “there’s a certain satisfaction when it comes to stuffing your face, knowing you’re eating more than you really need to. So don’t stop now, because we’re just getting started.” 

Picking up two more burgers, Flurry shoved them both right into her mouth. Inspired, Twilight did the same with the remainder of her burger. It thrilled Flurry to see one of her aunts glutting themselves alongside her, which caused her to show a bit of restraint, not wanting to gobble up everything too quickly. Following her niece’s lead, Twilight stuffed her cheeks to the brim with food and drink before forcing herself to swallow it all down. Having an eating buddy present made the grimaced staring of the other customers far less embarrassing. 

As they ate, the ambiance of the restaurant became nothing but their muffled grunts and content gulping. Flurry added in a couple of glorps and squelches to the symphony by patting her belly, basking in the joy of eating such fattening fast food after a month of dieting. She saw the other customers watching them in bewilderment, still with food in their mouths. Grinning, she pushed her hooves down firmly onto her gut, sending up a gaseous belch reeking of burgers and fries. The remaining onlookers left in disgust, pleasing Flurry now that none were around to make her aunt feel uncomfortable. 

Getting into a gluttonous rhythm, the pair finished Flurry Heart’s order after fifteen minutes. With Flurry passing Twilight a fair amount of her food, she was pleased to see how well the purple alicorn managed to plump up. Twilight was also astonished, her cheeks flushing a bright crimson as she looked down at her figure. Her chubby thighs and plot more modestly filled out her seat, and the tips of her hooves squished against her chunky belly when she prodded it. 

“Oh my, bworp, gosh,” Twilight sheepishly smiled, “I didn’t think I’d be able to, orp, eat so much.” 

“More than you know,” Flurry Heart bounced her belly with her forelegs, “a princess’ stomach, ooouurp, can handle…anything. Excuse me!”

One of the restaurant staff approached the table. “Can I help you, princess?”

“We’d like to order again, please. Two of everything on the menu. Or at least, as much as this is able to buy…”

From behind her back, Flurry Heart produced the large sack of bits that Celestia and Luna provided her, dropping it onto a pile of empty trays with a loud thud. The staff pony nodded her head, groaning due to the sack’s weight when lifting it. 

“W-wait-wait a second,” stammered Twilight, “Are we seriously going to, orp, eat more? I mean…haven’t we had enough?”

“Oh, Twilight.” Flurry Heart groaned as she rolled to her side, standing herself upright. She waddled her way around the table, belly dragging along the ground and her massive hips pushing the table aside. With a huff, she sat herself beside her aunt. The purple pony stared bug eyed at the size of her blubbery niece right next to her, feeling her flab engulf her as she wrapped a foreleg around her. 

“Look around,” Flurry continued, “we’ve got the whole Hayburger to ourselves, with all the food we could glut, all on Celestia and Luna’s tab. Plus, you’ll never know the true fattening experience until you grow yourself a real belly.” 

Twilight grew further flustered as Flurry gently patted her gut. “B-but, I’m already so full. I’m not sure how much more I can still eat.” 

“Don’t you worry. Your favorite niece will help you out the whole way.”

Both of their bellies blorped in unison, with Flurry’s sounding like a grunting mother bear and Twilight’s belly being her cub. While the new order was being made, ponies wanting to come in for a bite were turned away by the sight of Flurry Heart’s imposing girth. Eventually, staff hung up their closed sign, dedicating the remainder of their work to their two royal customers. They then pulled together five tables side by side in front of them, giving the staff space for the second round of food. 

While Flurry Heart salivated, Twilight wore a timid smile at the display of food before them. A cloud of hot steam perfumed the air with juicy flavors. Flurry rested several trays atop of her gut while floating one over to Twilight. Reluctantly, she took two burgers in each hoof, staring at them. Though they would no doubt still be delicious, she was unsure how many more she could fit in her crowded stomach.

Flurry kept an attentive eye on Twilight as they resumed their feast. At first her aunt labored to gulp down yet another hefty mouthful of burger, until her wincing turned into more of a sloppy grin. With each new burger pushing against her full stomach, she appeared to enjoy herself more and more, taking larger bites, and even shoving some single burgers whole into her mouth. Flurry recognized the sounds of pleasured huffing, and even saw from the corner of her gaze Twilight’s hooves pressing and squeezing at her growing gut. 

Wolfing down tray after tray, the greasy-fatty fast food worked its fattening magic. Twilight’s flanks poured over the sides of her plastic seat, which seated her inner thighs more than her growing butt. Gropeable love handles formed around her once thin waist, giving her plump curves like that of a plumb. Her face also grew rounder, and a second chin began forming. She was, however, oblivious to it all. Stuffing her face full of fries and chugging down milkshakes left her in a gluttonous trance, fully enamored by the pleasures of the feast. 

In an hour, they managed to finish a quarter of their food; by then, Twilight had run out of steam. Leaned back in her chair, legs sprawled out and hanging over the sides and hooves resting on her belly, she moaned with the utmost bliss. Smiling at the sight of her enlarged gut, she felt it flow over and between her legs, sloshing with several dozen hayburger combos. She basked in her fullness, gently rubbing at her soft-bubbling bulk. 

“Ooogh, I guess you were right, hic-hilp, Flurry. This does feel, mmff, amazing. Sweet Celestia, urp, I’m so stuffed. I think, hic-hilp, I’ve eaten enough hayburgers to feed thirty ponies.”

“You see, nomph, what I tell ya,” Flury Heart continued to stuff her face with food. “Ain’t nothin’ like, urp, gorging, hmmf, glutting, ulp, and growing fat, hic. Don’t stop now though, umf, or I’m gunna finish the rest of this myself.” 

“Ooo, I don’t think I could,” Twilight’s stomach let loose a ferocious gurgle. “I’m so full, hic-hilp, I don’t think I can bring another burger to my mouth, hnnng, even if I wanted to, oof.” 

“Oh, well in that case, open wide—.” 

Without warning, Flurry Heart grabbed a burger and forcibly pushed it into Twilight’s mouth. The purple alicorn muffled in surprise, trying to push the burger out of her mouth to speak only to have Flurry push in another one. Forced to swallow, she winced at having an entire double hayburger squeeze itself down her gullet and pushing its way into her gut. She raised her hooves in protest, but her state of fullness left her feeling too fatigued to fight back. 

“F-Flurry,” she yelped in between mouthfuls, “what are, nomf, ulp, what are you, horf, guh, doing?”

“I told you I’d help you. Don’t worry, we’re almost done with half of the feast.”

“But, hic-hilp, can’t…eat…more. Buuraap, ooogh, too…full.” 

“That’s the fun thing about being a glutton. You gorge yourself, even when you’re full. It's part of the experience, Twilight. Once you’ve reached the peak of overeating, then you’ll know when you’ve enjoyed yourself to the fullest.” 

Twilight kept her hooves raised, trying her best to push away the next burger Flurry brought over. But despite her muffled protest, she was powerless to stop her niece from feeding her more; even her magic was rendered useless, with her mind too focused on how painfully stuffed she grew. As she ate, however, a sudden wave of euphoria began to wash over her. Her limbs laid limp at her sides, and her body became more relaxed. Her whimpers and wincing soon melted into muffled moans of pleasure, with her cheeks blushing a soft red whenever her stomach bloated a little larger. 

Flurry Heart continued her pace of feeding Twilight one burger at a time, not wanting to push her aunt far too hard on her first feast. It vastly intrigued her to see the other end of a creature enjoying a gluttonous feast. The look of euphoria on Twilight’s face was something she was familiar with, though seeing it from an outside perspective felt rather surreal. Did she herself always appear so infatuated with fat and overeating whenever she stuffed her face? Was it really so easy for her to surrender to its decadent allure, with her putting up even less of a fight than Twilight had? Before she could think too deeply, her growling stomach brought her back to the present, and she lost her train of thought. 

While using her hooves to feed Twilight, Flurry used her magic to help feed herself. As the pair grew fatter, their plush figures began squishing against one another. The right side of Twilight’s widening physique became propped up by Flurry’s hips and belly, providing a soft bed to rest on. The purple alicorn could barely push back against her niece’s encroaching lard, feeling her hooves sink into her pink flesh as if she were made of pudding. 

When half of the feast was finally finished, the sturdiness of Twilight’s seat finally gave out under her immense weight. With swollen hind legs and a globular gut hanging down the front, the back legs of the plastic seat had bent, sending the moaning princess falling backward. The vociferous sloshing of her feast bellowed throughout the restaurant, as a tidal wave of belly poured itself on top of her. Her hooves and muzzle were briefly smothered by her own fat, feeling her gorge churning inside her. She propped herself up against Flurry Heart’s cushiony flank, groaning as she rested while her hooves soothingly rubbed at her overburdened gut. 

Flurry went on glutting the second half of their feast, more than pleased at Twilight finally being able to experience the joys of true gluttony, and giving her a break. It was a unique experience not being the only one to gorge herself, one she couldn’t help but imagine how amazing it would be were her aunt of equal size. For now, she was content with having her moan and groan by her side, feeling the pleasure and strain of being overglutted and overgorged many times over. 

A few hours passed until their feast finally ended, and the two princesses left moaning with satisfaction. To Flurry Heart, the walk back to Twilight’s castle felt longer than her finishing up the remainder of their feast. Her aunt could barely stand while lugging around a belly so large it hung but an inch off the ground. It swayed like a pendulum as she walked, bubbling and blorping when her back legs brushed against it. Even Flurry Heart was able to waddle along faster, better accustomed to being a whale of a pony, and not eating to her full potential due to sharing her food. 

Entering through the front doors, Twilight walked toward the stairwell that led up to her bed chambers. 

“Oooogh, I need to, hic-hilp, lie down. If you’re not here, huff, when I wake up, hnng, then goodnight, hic-hilp, Flurry. It was, hmmmf, quite an experience, ugh.” 

“Night auntie Twilight,” Flurry Heart waved, “I had a good time. Sleep well.” 

She smirked watching Twilight struggle to walk up the stairs, waiting until her wobbling rear vanished around the corner and her moaning became a distant echo. “Alright, now that that’s taken care of…”

The empty castle echoed with Flurry Heart’s sloshing as she wandered down the halls. With Twilight having gone to bed, and nopony else to bear witness, she was free to walk into Twilight’s library without suspicion. For longer than she liked, she scoured through the volumes of books lining the vast shelves, pulling them out and returning them with her magic. Just as she was about to give up and take a short nap, she came across a curious tome that caught her attention. 

“Seals and curses, volume three. Hmm.” 

She flipped through each page, skimming through the text for what she was searching for. Her heart pounded, hopeful of finding what she needed. Halfway through the book,  she gasped at what appeared to be the solution to her problem, cleanly tearing out the page and returning the book to its shelf. With her goal completed, Flurry made her way back to the front entrance. As enticing as taking a nap was, nothing would relieve her more than finally finishing Madam Ruby’s annoying task and giving herself a proper night's sleep.

    *

Despite sharing her feast with Twilight, the day’s eating wasn’t a total loss for Flurry Heart. Upon returning to Canterlot, Celestia had surprised her with a secondary dinner; it didn’t compare to Friday’s feast, but it made up for what glutting she lacked earlier. Briefly she slept into the dead of night before Madam Ruby woke her once again. The trip to the reliquary was also noisier, with Flurry being forced to drag herself thanks to Celestia’s heavy meal. By the time they entered the room, the princess gathered her breath, exhausted and filled with fatigue. 

“Hurry,” said Madam Ruby, “quickly princess! It is so close now.” 

“Huff, huff, just…give me…a minute, uff. I’m sleepy, oof, I’m tired, urp, and I’m huge. You don’t know what it’s like, mmf, pulling yourself, hic, up so many…stairs.” 

“You may sleep until winter comes and goes, but first, you must get…that…crown!”

Snorting like a bull, the princess continued hauling herself. The barriers of the other relics around her triggered as her wider-fatter body pressed against them, smothering them with pink lard, while the barriers prevented the cases from being knocked over. Before the dream tiara, Flurry produced the page from the spell book and took her time reading it over. Sweat dripped down the side of her face. The spell’s complexity intimidated her more than when she first skimmed through it back at the library. 

“Come on,” pestered Madam Ruby, “be quick about it.”

Unsure whether or not the spell would work, Flurry Heart’s horn sparked with magic, and shot a beam of energy at the barrier. She kept a constant stream, wincing at the strain of focusing her magic. Nothing appeared to happen at first, but after several seconds of casting, the barrier around the case began to crack. Madam Ruby pressed her onward, growing more eager the more the barrier broke. Flurry murmured with pain, feeling herself struggling just to cast the spell, as if she were dangling off the edge of a cliff for dear life. With one final push of power, her spell shattered the seal like glass. She collapsed to the floor, out of breath and very light headed. 

“Well done, princess. Haha, well done.”

“Huff, sweet, Celestia. Oof, that was…so hard. Huff, I can’t believe, huff, I actually…broke it.” 

“To be fair, princess. That seal wasn’t all that powerful. But still, congratulations.”

Flurry Heart pursed her lips in annoyance. “Whatever. I’m just glad…I can finally, hmmf, go to bed.” 

“You have certainly earned it, my dear. Rest well, and dream sweet dreams. We are one step closer now, to fulfilling your destiny.”

In a purple flash, the glow of Madam Ruby’s orb receded, and the presence of the mare was gone. Magically removing the tiara from the case, Flurry Heart tucked it in her wing and turned herself around toward the entrance. Huffing and puffing back to her room, she felt discontent having to go through so much trouble for something so small. She didn’t even know what the tiara would be used for, or why it was so important toward her goals of gluttony. Her sleepiness made her too exhausted to think too deeply into it.

Instead, Flurry Heart focused on more pleasant thoughts, such as the wonderful time she had over the weekend. The heap of fat added back to body gave her such an amazing feeling of warmth and comfort. The plethora of food currently rolling around in her belly pleased her without end. The expression of euphoria on Twilight’s face illustrated the sheer rapture that came with copious amounts of gaining and overeating, something a month of dieting had taken away from her for a moment in time. It was a wonderful thing coming to Canterlot and being able to gorge herself on as much as she liked, a privilege she would not soon take for granted. It no longer mattered what the tiara was for, or any other knick knacks Madam Ruby wanted her to fetch. In the end, despite her mother’s constant scolding, rules, restrictions, and diets, her destiny would lead to the greatest feat of gorging and gaining she would ever achieve in her life. Until then, exercising and eating light were but a small price to pay. The Grand Feast would make all this trouble well worth it.
