chapter 10

"You got to meet Lauren?!??!" Shannon gasped.

"You know her?" Colleen replied.

"Pffft! I wish! She's the fattest living woman on planet earth!"

"I'd believe that... She's fucking huge!"

"She's so sexy... God the things I would do to her..."

"She didn't seem like she was able to do much besides grunt, eat, and drink."

"I'll have to ask Dean to introduce me to her... She's like my idol!"

"I gotta admit, I was surprised at how happy she seemed. I expected her to smell, and be this fat, miserable, blob that just ate all day."

Shannon had fattened up quite nicely right along with Colleen, now weighing in at 615 pounds. Determined to become immobile as quickly as she possibly could, she spent her days constantly eating, and supplemented her gaining with weight gain powders and shakes. She sat on Colleen's bed wearing a tight black tank top and black yoga pants, which featured an expandable waistband that made them the preferred pants among both growing girls. More often than not she could be found there, stuffing her face and chatting with Colleen. The two had grown quite close in their time at the Williams Center, but they were unsure what to call their relationship.

"So? Are you gonna give in, or what?" Shannon asked Colleen.

"I feel like it's almost inevitable." Colleen replied.

"That's the spirit!!! C'mon! You saw how good Lauren lives. She makes over a hundred grand a year, y'know!"

"Well, I'm not getting any smaller... It's crazy how quickly I get hungry now, I thought it was bad when I was 500 pounds, but now... I'm almost always eating, if I'm not sleeping..."

"Mmmhhhhmm... Might as well keep going then, right? I mean c'mon, Colleen! What do you really do that requires you to be mobile?"

"Hhhhmmm... Not much, really. I mean, I guess it makes sense. I mean, my old job paid well, but it'd take me years to get the salary I'd get if I were Lauren's size."

"Now you're talking! Turn into a big fat blob with me, Colleen!"

"Alright, alright. You win. Help me up, will ya?"
Shannon let out a mild grunt as she got up off the bed, and interlocked arms with Colleen.

"On three, ready?" One... Two... THREE!!" Shannon said through gritted teeth.

"HHHHMMMMMPPPHHH!" Colleen grunted.

Slowly her massive ass began to lift up off the bed, but gravity had other plans. She strained with all her might, but she fell back on the bed, already out of breath.

"Are you doing this on purpose? Because you're turning me on..." Shannon said.

"Ugh, no! C'mon, really pull hard this time..." Colleen replied, irritated.

"One... Two... THREE!"

Colleen slowly rose to her feet, stumbling a bit but maintaining her balance. She leaned on the wall with one hand and just stood there for a moment, panting to catch her breath. Shannon put a hand on her shoulder.

"You want me to get a bed pan or something?" Shannon offered.

"No, no, I'm fine." Colleen replied.

Colleen waddled into the bathroom, which of course featured a specially designed toilet with a very wide seat. After relieving herself, she began the dreaded task of getting back up. She used the sink and a towel rack as support and heaved herself up, and felt a knot in her stomach as she realized how difficult it was. Shannon looked concerned as she came back out of the bathroom and collapsed on the bed with her, shaking the room. Colleen was gasping for breath and had broken a sweat. Ever the nurturer, Shannon got up and got her a bottle of soda from the kitchen.

"Here, honey... Oh you poor thing. You can't keep putting yourself through that, love!" Shannon said.

"Ugh... I know... I'll... I'll call Dean and let Lyndsey know tomorrow. Thanks, Shannon. You've... I'm really glad I met you. I haven't been... Intimate, with anyone for a long time... And it's just nice to have somebody make me feel beautiful."

"Aaaaawww, Colleen! You're gonna make me cry!"

"It's true. You've helped me a lot, as far as accepting myself goes."

"Good, I'm glad. You're beautiful, you should feel beautiful."

The next day, Lyndsey gave Colleen a physical exam, in which she tested her mobility. It was abundantly clear that Colleen was rapidly approaching immobility, and Lyndsey had no problem approving her for the added benefits.

"I'm gonna go ahead and approve you. Now, I know you're not completely immobile yet, but I'm gonna say you are on your profile anyway, because frankly I think you doing any type of physical activity would be too stressful. We're gonna move you upstairs, that's the immobility floor. It'll be just like the apartment setup you have now, but with a bigger and sturdier bed, and another room for your nurse." Lyndsey explained.

"Are you not gonna be taking care of me anymore?" Colleen asked.

"You'll still see me from time to time, but you're also going to have a live-in nurse who'll also function as your personal assistant. Her name is Crystal, and she's lovely. She'll be in charge of everything, bathing you, helping you relieve your bodily needs, bringing you food, of course, and anything else you might need help with."

"Ok."

"I& apos;m very proud of you, Colleen. This is a huge step, congratulations!"

"Thanks, Lyndsey."

Within three days Colleen was moved up to the immobility floor and on to the next phase of her journey. She signed a hundred pound commitment, bringing her weekly income to $1,350 a week. Her new suite was basically identical to her old one, but the bedroom was much, much, bigger. Crystal, her nurse, was the same age as her, and very tall, standing six feet and four inches tall. Unsurprisingly, she was also obese, weighing 300 pounds. She had long black hair and brown eyes, big boobs, a big belly, and a fat ass. Her bedside manner was lovely, and she was always upbeat and smiling.

Of course, once Colleen was settled in, Shannon came to visit her. She waddled into Colleen's suite wearing a tight blue tank top and yoga pants. The walk to the fourth floor was more exercise than Shannon had had since she moved into the Williams center, and she couldn't hide her exhaustion as she sat down in an armchair next to Colleen's bed. She reclined back and put a bowl of cheese curls up on her belly.

"A little out of breath there, tubby?" Colleen asked playfully.

"Whoooo! I'm getting too fat for this shit!" Shannon replied.

"You should start using a scooter."

"Yeah, you're right. Was that your nurse that let me in?"

"Yup, Crystal. She's great."

"She's a cutie..."

Shannon rooted through her purse and pulled a plastic sandwich bag out from it. Inside were two big brownies.

"Wanna get high?" Shannon asked.

"Where'd you get those?!!" Colleen replied.

"I got a medical card. For my joint pain, what with being 600 pounds and all... Hahaha!"

"Oh my God, I've gotta get myself one of those!"

The girls each ate their brownies and ordered an obscene amount of food. French fries, triple bacon cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, hot dogs, and onion rings. Colleen had been a huge stoner since she was a teenager, but hadn't gotten high in over a year, since her dealer was arrested. With her reclusiveness and embarrassment over her weight, she was never able to find a new connect. Within an hour she was giggly and euphoric, and very, very, hungry.

"You girls are hungry!!!" Crystal said as she wheeled in their second room service cart in two hours. She took a trash bag and picked up the litany of takeout boxes that Colleen and Shannon had left in their gluttonous wake. The second cart was loaded with sweets and dessert: two Boston crème pies, two dozen cupcakes, half-moon cakes, chocolate chip cookies, twinkies, and devil dogs.

"Oh, Shannon, bring me the devil dogs first!"
Colleen said excitedly.

"Get 'em yourself." Shannon replied sarcastically.

"C'mon! I'm hungry!"

"Alright, alright. Here you go, tubby."

Shannon kissed Colleen on the cheek and handed her the box of devil dogs. Colleen tore the box and wrappers off each one ravenously. She stuffed the entire pastry into her mouth at once, washing it down with some soda and repeating the process over and over again until the box was gone. Shannon was polishing off the twinkies as Colleen turned her attention to the cookies. They were fresh baked from the grocery store, soft and loaded with chocolate chips. Colleen was in paradise as she stuffed her face, eyes red and squinty, her belly a bottomless pit. She went to pick the remote to her TV up, but it was just out reach. Straining and struggling, she tried to lean forward and grab it, much to the delight of Shannon, who watched with glee at her 700 pound piggy trying to do such a seemingly simple task.

"Aaaawwww! This is too cute! My big piggy's too fat to reach the remote! Here, let me get that for you." Shannon said.

"Thanks, Shannon... Ugh... I'm too fat to do anything anymore! Haha..." Colleen giggled.

"Too sexy is more like it... My God..."

Shannon grabbed a half moon cake and brought it to Colleen's lips.

"Come on! Open up!" Shannon ordered.

Colleen smiled and complied, allowing Shannon to feed her. They took turns taking bites out of each half-moon until all six of them were gone.

"How much food is left?" Colleen asked, clearly still hungry.

"We've still got the cupcakes and the pies." Shannon replied.

"You wanna put another order in?"

"Yes!"
