“IT’S PARTY TIME!” Pinkie Pie cheered as she swung Fluttershy’s bedroom door open. With a dozen treats in each hand, she skipped across the room and towards the half-ton young lady who was laying back on her king-sized mattress.

Head propped up by various pillows, Fluttershy smiled and waved back, bingo-winged arms jiggling along. “Hi, Pinkie Pie,” she greeted with a heavy breath. As good as she’s been feeling lately, she still felt quite slow and heavy with so much extra weight on her. “I appreciate the enthusiasm, but it’s really nothing to celebrate. I still have a long way to go.” Her chubby cheeks blushed slightly as she rubbed her massive belly, far too large to even cover up.

“Yeah, I know. But that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the little things, even though you’re not exactly a little thing anymore,” Pinkie winked, making Fluttershy chuckle at her silly joke. “Now, let’s get you up, big girl!”

Making her way to the other side of the bed, Pinkie put aside the boxes of treats to help heave her hefty friend up. As Fluttershy did everything in her power to hoist her enormous body, Pinkie somehow mustered enough strength to pull from her bulky arms. It didn’t take long before the bedridden girl was up on her butt and able to scoot herself towards the edge of the bed, letting her heavy belly hang over the edge and past her chubby feet.

As they both took a moment to catch their breath, Fluttershy looked down at her bedroom floor. For a moment, she almost considered trying to step onto the ground. But she knew that wouldn’t be possible, at least for now. So, she simply stared at her fleshy mass of a gut as she felt it lightly touched the cool hard-wood floor. “Thanks for the help, Pinkie.”
