chapter 4

"Omg, that was awesome", said Amy following a stifled burp from all the beers the four of them has downed. "Everyone lied to me", she complained while grinning and grabbing another decadent chocolate from the room's stock of free fattening foods. "Weed is amazing" drawled out Amy for effect, "And I don't even feel hung over" she continued before grabbing another 200 calorie fat adding snack.

"I told you months ago", snickered Laurie, "But there are some obvious side effects", said Laurie shaking her fat belly up and down while Amy stuffed another goodie down.

"Now I know how you got so.....", Amy caught herself. She didn't want to sound like her mother.

"FAT..." said Laurie emphatically, completing Amy's sentence for her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it", said Amy shamefully.

"No, no, don't worry it's okay. I love weed and the way it makes food taste soooooooo good"

"You're absolutely right. Omg, the food tastes so good. Fuck, it's like it's from the heavans", said Amy. "But I'm afraid that if I keep this up...."

"You'll wind up a fatty like me?", said Laurie rhetorically.

Amy's mind raced with images of her being as fat or fatter than her friend but she said, "No, no, well..."

"Amy, it's okay. I like the way I look and feel. I wouldn't have it any other way."

"For real?", asked Amy while effortlessly grabbing the last chocolate and finishing off the whole box by herself.

"Yeah, believe it or not, I was a college bound basketball player like you before I discovered just how sweet life can actually be. I wasn't ever as fit as you, but I was definitely thinner".

"No way?!?", said the thin fit athlete with her slightly distended belly.

"Here let me show you", said the fat girl. Laurie opened up her Facebook page and went back in her history two years and sure enough, the now fat laurie was a tall thin girl with no belly, no tits, and looked like she would disappear if she turned sideways.

"Holy shit, we could have been sisters, hell even twins. So what happened?"

"Nothing too dramatic", admitted Laurie, "I just got tired of living my life for all of my coaches and parents so I decided to live life for ME! I stopped working out, I concentrated on my studies, and ate whatever I wanted, and taaaaaaa-daaaaaaa!", exclaimed the fat girl giving herself a runway twirl to show off her curvaceous body, "Whadaya think?", she finished while watching Amy's hungry eyes upon her.

"You look gorgeous, but aren't you worried about your health?"

"I guess I should be as you seemed to be worried", chuckled Laurie.

"I'm sorry", apologized the drunk, high and almost sated Amy, "I really didn't mean..."

"Stop worrying so much. I'll tell you what. Over the course of the cruise, you can show me how to work out, get in shape again, and maybe I'll lose a few pounds. Would that make you less worried?"

"Laurie, you don't have to be that way"

"No, I think its a great idea, and you're right I could stand to tone up a bit. Hey why don't we hit the gym before dinner."

"Sure, I'll show you what to do but I'm way to high and drunk to trust myself with any equipment but, let's go", said Amy while grabbing another box of chocolates to munch on while she watched her fat and sexy roommate change into work out gear.
