//------------------------------// // Getting into "Shape" // Story: Practice Makes Pudding // by TacoBiteToughGuy //------------------------------// "Come on Dash...*huff*...you can do this...*puff*...you just gotta believe!" Her front legs extended, lifting her large frame off the ground and into the air. Well, it would've if her belly didn't hang so low it grazed the ground. Her blubbery body was jiggling and shaking as she completed her first push-up. Her plot was bouncing up and down like a runaway bouncy ball, mesmerizing to all stallions who were passing by. Her legs were so large, they were starting to gather a little cellulite. Her back was covered in rolls, making many crests and troughs of lard on her torso. Her multiple chins were comforting her cute, chubby face. "How long do you think she's going to go on like this before she just gives up?" "You would think a while, but I think it may surprise you how quickly she will change." Pinkie Pie reassured her. "We just have to supply the right motivation..." "Twenty-seven... Twenty-eight... Twenty-nine... Thirty!" Rainbow exhaled as she collapsed onto the ground and her plump belly. The impact caused ripples throughout her body, including her luscious, squishy butt. As Rainbow finished her morning workout, she saw Applejack leave Sugarcube Corner by herself. "Must be going back to the barn. They probably need her for morning chores." Rainbow thought aloud, as she headed for the sweet shop for lunch, even though it had only been an hour. Pinkie was ready for anything though. "Ready for lunch? I just finished making it!" Pinkie asked as the pegasus came in through the front door. "You bet 'cha! After all that work, I could eat a whale!" Dash replied as she sat down at the table. "Here, have a fruit smoothie; it will help out with your recovery so you can get back to working out faster!" The pink pony slid a reddish drink over to the athlete, who accepted it graciously. "I forgot water when I was training. I'm so thirsty, thanks Pinkie!" Rainbow lifted the glass and poured the entire contents into her open mouth and down into her stomach. Of course, Pinkie gave her an arubo smoothie, which made Rainbow's stomach empty as soon as she swallowed the last drop. As the last drop was poured, Pinkie brought out a plate full of grilled cheese sandwiches. With about forty sandwiches on the plate, Dash took the top one and tossed it into her mouth and swallowed right away, before moving onto the next one. As she continued eating the sandwiches, Pinkie gave her another smoothie along with a large plate of donuts. Rainbow Dash was so caught up in filling the void in her stomach, she didn't even realize what she was putting in her mouth. After finishing her sandwiches, a quick sip of smoothie emptied her stomach and caused her to keep eating. One by one, the donuts disappeared into Dash's wide maw. She downed her drink, before moving onto the last donuts. With just a chocolate and an original left, she put both into her mouth at the same time and consumed them both. As she completed her meal, her stomach didn't feel any fuller, thanks to the arubo smoothies. However, she was satisfied for the time being. Pinkie came along with a large smile and a playful enthusiasm. "Hey, how was it? Was it good?" "It was awesome! Though I'm not sure donuts and grilled cheese will help me with my diet." "Sure it will!" Pinkie replied with her usual excitement. "Your weight gain diet..." She muttered under her breath. "What was that?" Rainbow asked, not picking up on what she said. "Oh, nothing! Say, how about we go train some more? How about running?" "I'm game! Let's go!" Pinkie let Dash lead the way out of the shop, imagining how much larger her plot was going to get after tonight... As the whistle blew, Rainbow dashed off the starting line, sprinting around the track at a fairly fast speed. However, at about the one hundred meter mark, she started to slow down into a run, then into a jog. By the time she had circuited a lap, she was walking and covered in sweat. With her tight workout gear, courtesy of Pinkie, Rainbow Dash's expanded form was still clearly shown, every fold of fat visible. Though the snug gear surpressed her jiggling, it didn't stop it. Her belly was still wobbling underneath her, swaying with each step she took along the track. The pegasus' plot had a life of its own; bubbly and crazy. It was so entrancing that it even distracted the pink pony from motivating Rainbow to keep running. As Dash finished her second lap, she decided it was her last. Dead tired, she collapsed right in front of her trainer. The tremor of the fat pony falling was enough to snap Pinkie from her stupor. "Mmm... Oh! H-h-hey Dashie! Do you want to go do something else? How about squats?" "Sure, gotta do something to help get rid of this flab." Dash started on her squats, making sure to have proper form, including sticking her massive rear end out as far as she could. Pinkie, not wanting to miss the show, walked around her trainee and observed Dash's enormous bottom with hidden pleasure. But it wasn't enough for the pink pony. "Hey," Pinkie moved her hooves from the ground to the bouncing fat in front of her, "you need to stick your booty out further and get down lower! Wanna get in shape don't you?" The last statement was enough to get Dash moving, sticking her plot down almost to the ground and way out from her large body. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie was rubbing her plot as a form of "encouragement" instead of continuing to use encouraging words. Her greedy hooves caressed every inch of pony ass she could possibly reach; right hoof moving in counter-clockwise rotations, left clockwise. Dash didn't care though. It worked, as she was trying her hardest to get her squats perfect. She kept reasoning that it Pinkie's behaviour was "just Pinkie Pie" and didn't think anything more of it. Not even the possible attraction between the walking party and the walking lard.
