Chapter 19

“You,” said Lexi as she stood paralyzed in the doorway as the woman from the gym walked into Lexi’s and Rachel’s apartment. “Wow you two really leaned into the fat girl lifestyle,” said the woman as she scanned Lexi and turned her eyes to Rachel to see her just as fat as her friend. “Where have you been, we’ve looked everywhere for you but couldn’t find anything out about you, not even you name,” said Rachel as the initial shock had worn off. “Oh the names Ashely by the way, but that’s not important,” said Ashely as she walked up to Lexi and looked her up and down. Lexi squirmed under Ashely’s intense gaze. “I’ve been keeping my eyes on you guys for the past couple months and I have to say I’m surprised,” said Ashely as she walked over to Rachel and did the same thing as she had done to Lexi. “Normally when I make girls grow out of their precious size zero jeans, sure they gain a bit of weight but you two,” scoffed Ashely as she walked closer to the kitchen to see boxes of old pizzas, fast food wrappers, and pastry boxes.

“You two have put more weight on than every girl combined, I mean you guys have what tripled in size?” Asked Ashely as Lexi and Rachel looked to the ground embarrassed. “I mean it’s so hard when all that unhealthy food taste so good and every vegetable or fruit taste like shit,” complained Rachel as Ashely just started jiggling. “The taste bud altering wore off after the first couple days, it was just a side effect of the rapid weight gain,” said Ashely still with a smile on her face. “Are you guys telling me you’re still eating like you did those first couple days, no wonder you guys ballooned up,” said Ashely. “Well we didn’t know that,” said Lexi as she thought back to how although the fast food tasted great it had lost some of its initial flavor.

“Well before we go any further I just want to apologize for how we treated you when we first met you,” said Rachel as she looked over to Lexi and then back to Ashely. “We had no idea that being this big was so hard and I understand the constant teasing that you probably dealt with,” said Rachel in a genuine tone. “Oh I’m hardly ever big like you saw me that one day. See I take fat from sweet girls who have dealt with the bullying and teasing all their lives and I give it to the bratty bitches that think their better and people just be their skinny,” said Ashely. “Wait how is that even possible?” Asked Lexi as her and Rachel were confused. “It’s just an ability I’ve had since I was a kid and I decided that I would use it for good,” said Ashely as she leaned on the kitchen counter. “Well we’re sorry and we’ve experienced the discrimination that fat girls experience,” said Rachel trying to continue her apology.

“That’s actually what I came her today to see if the two of you have atoned for you bitchy behavior,” said Ashely. Lexi looked at Rachel as her friends face had lit up. “Yes, yes we have I can’t apologize enough for how we acted,” said Rachel. Lexi was astonished, was her opportunity to get skinny again right in front of her, yet something felt wrong about trimming down to her original size. For one how was she going to explain her sudden weight loss to Matt as well as keep her weight gain fetish going when she was no longer fat. She wished that the decision was easy but there were so many factors at play.

“So, I can just snap my fingers and—-“ said Ashely before she was suddenly interrupted by Lexi. “Wait do you have to turn me back. I know Rachel wants to go back to her thin lifestyle but I can’t say I’m the same,” said Lexi as the two girls could hear the hesitant in her voice. “Well I guess not I’ve never had anybody want to stay fat before but I guess you can stay at you current size,” said Ashely as she looked Lexi up and down again with a confused look on her face. “Lexi I know you kinda like being fat now, which I’ll never understand, but come on this should be a no brainer,” said Rachel trying to convince her friend to take the easy option and go back to her regular life. “Rachel I’ve felt like this for a while now and I just realized for the first time that I’m truly happy,” says Lexi as she turned to Ashely that was standing in their kitchen. “Ashely please turn Rachel back but leave me be,” said Lexi defiantly. “Okay well tomorrow Rachel you’ll be back to your old size,” said Ashely as she snapped her fingers and made her way to the door. “Oh my gosh thank you, thank you, thank you,” pleaded Rachel as she was on the verge of tears of joy.

Lexi walked Ashely to the door and walked out into the hallway with the much skinnier woman. “I know that this is a weird favor to ask but is there anyway that with changing Rachel back you could alter my taste buds again?” Asked Lexi. Ashely giggled in front of the obese girl standing in the hallway making a request she’d never heard. “Fine, I can do a week or two for you,” said Ashely as she turned away from Lexi and tried to make her way down the hall. “Actually I was hoping that you could make the change kinda permanent,” said Lexi not trying to be demanding in her request. “Lexi you’re already quite large, you know how rapidly you’ll put on weight with that high of food intake,” said Ashely in an almost concerned tone. “I know but it’s okay I don’t care, I just want to feel that way again,” said Lexi reminding Ashely of a drug addict looking for another fix. “Fine,” says Ashely as she turned around and started making her way down the hall. “But don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Ashely as she turned the corner and was gone.

Lexi walked back into the apartment to see Rachel still giddy from the news a moment ago. “So you’re gonna keep the fat girl body around for good?” Asked Rachel in a sarcastic tone. “Well I could say goodbye to this big old thing,” said Lexi as she gesture to her massive ass. “Now will you go to the reunion with me,” asked Lexi as she begged Rachel. “Fine, I’ll go,” said Rachel as she waddled away excited to get her old body back. Lexi stood in the kitchen excited for what tomorrow held for her, and her new and improved taste for fatty foods.
