Ezekiel was very sorry about the sexist comments he made that got him booted off the island, and was going to make it up to his former female teammates by making them a very nice dinner.
It was evening and Katie, Sadie, Eva and Courtney came to a dining room Ezekiel had specified earlier. Katie and Sadie were wearing matching pink and black dresses while Eva and Courtney choose to not dress up for the occasion.
Ezekiel greeted them, having changed out of his usual clothes for a nice dress shirt/dress pants combo. He had made pasta dishes for the Katie and Sadie, a seafood dish for Courtney and a well-prepared steak for Eva that were all placed on the table.
Mmmmm, Eva thought as she took a whiff of her steak. Seared animal flesh, my favorite.
"Unless this is the best damned steak I've ever eaten, I'm not going to change my mind about you," Eva said as she sat down, cut off a piece of her steak and ate it. After swallowing, she said, "Congratulations home school: I've decided not to kill you."
"Hooray!" Ezekiel exclaimed as he held up his arms in victory.
"She's just joking," Sadie said. "Right Eva?"
"Do I really strike you as the joking type?" Eva asked.
"Oh yeah," Sadie said as she remembered who she was talking about. Everyone else sat down and began eating. Nothing was said for a while as everyone ate.
"This is really good. Don't you think so Courtney?" Sadie asked.
"I've had better," Courtney said. "If you like it so much, maybe you should slow down so you can enjoy it better." Sadie didn't exactly appreciate Courtney's comment, but she slowed her pace anyway to avoid giving her ammunition.
"I'm so glad you like the food Sadie," Ezekiel said. "You look very lovely tonight."
"Do I look lovely too?" Katie asked.
"You look nice," the prairie boy said.
That's weird, Katie thought.
"You always look lovely Sadie," Ezekiel continued. "So full figured and full of life. You are a very beautiful woman," he said with a smile that reminded Sadie of the creepy smiles she had received from countless fat fetishists.
"Ahhhhhhhhh," Sadie said as jumped out of her seat and began running away.
"Ha ha ha ha," Eva laughed as she saw this.
"What just happened?" Courtney asked.
"Prairie boy just hit on the fat chick and completely blew it," Eva said, then continued eating her steak.
"That's uncalled for Eva," Courtney said. "I think it's sweet that Ezekiel is able to look past Sadie's gross, fat body and like her for who she is as a person."
"Actually," Ezekiel spoke up, "I think she is very physically attractive."
"Oh. In that case, you're a sick freak who is in need of serious psychiatric help," Courtney sharply replied then left the table in a 'hmf' of indignation.
Everyone else just sat in silence for about a minute. "I'm confused, eh," Ezekiel said.
Sometime later, Ezekiel managed to catch up to Sadie. "Hello," he said.
"Hi," Sadie replied.
"I just got out of a conversation with Katie," Ezekiel added quickly while he still had this opportunity. "She told me about tastes, fetishes and how you've had problems before with…. guys like me. I'm sorry for…. what happened. I had no idea it was so wrong for to think of you as attractive."
"It's not wrong," Sadie said. "Ezekiel, It was my fault I freaked out so much, it had nothing to do with you. I'm sure you're nothing like the creeps and freaks I've put up with in the past. For one thing, you cook. Very well too. When I've dated guys with your tastes before, they just get a huge amount of fast food, take me to their place and try to get me to eat more than I want so I'll gain more weight."
Ezekiel stared with his mouth gaping open in shock. After a while, he regained his composure. "I would never do that to you Sadie. You're already really big. Wait, that didn't come out right."
"You bet it didn't come out right," Sadie said as she crossed her arms in anger. "Are you saying that I'm big enough to satisfy you're unusual tastes, or that I'm so big I should avoid putting on more weight for health reasons?"
"The first thing, eh," Ezekiel answered nervously. "Although you could probably stand to lose a couple pounds, now that you mention it."
"That is the most normal thing someone attracted to me has ever said to me," Sadie said with a wide smile (another trait of her's Ezekiel found attractive) and put him in a big hug.
Ezekiel was experiencing various feelings of joy and euphoria as Sadie pressed him against her large and soft body. As for Sadie, she decided to give Ezekiel the chance to prove her wrong about fetishists.

Author's notes: about Courtney's conflicting comments. There's something I've noticed about the typical mindset. If you like someone despite their aesthetic deficiencies, you're a saint. You like them because of their aesthetic deficiencies, you're a freak. I just felt like throwing that in there.
Anyway, this is the first of several crack pairings I will be posting. If you have any suggestions for me, you'll have to give me both a pairing and a general premise and I might do it if it appeals to me. But I want to be very clear: I PROMISE NOTHING.
