Heavy-Set Sally:chapter 2
Princess Sally Acorn strolled, no…strutted down the streets of Knothole as she made her way to pick up her computer, Nichole. Sally was finally back to normal after that horrible experience that happened over a month ago. She didn't wear her vest that day. She wanted everyone to see her slender figure. She even winked at a couple of guys on her way. When she got to the porch of Rotor's workshop, she leaped and bounded up the stairs, mimicking the moments of a ballerina, although a bit more ungraceful than the princess would like to have admitted. Sally knocked on the door and Rotor answered.
"Hello Rotor." said cheerful Sally.
"Hello Sally" greeted Rotor motioning her to enter. "You seem happy today."
"Why wouldn't I." responded Sally as she looked around. Rotor's workshop was a mixture between a garage and a loft. There tables, machinery, and papers every where, except for a small area that served as a kitchen . "I want to thank you again Rotor."
"Don't mention it…" said Rotor. " I assume you're here for Nichole? I'm almost down patching her up."
"Take your time." responded Sally, as she looked around the shop. Sally then noticed several papers laying on the floor. She reached down to pick them up. Then she noticed what looked like a piece of candy. She pick it up with the papers, which she set on the table, and started to examine the item. It was round and in bright, blue foil. Sally shrugged, opened the candy and popped it in her mouth. Sally's eye widened at the taste of it. It was like nothing she ever tasted before. It was just then that Rotor started to walk over.
"Hey Rotor this candy is great. Where did you get it?" asked Sally. Rotor' eyes focused on the empty wrapper.
"You didn't eat that, did you?"
"Well yes. I'm sorry. Was it your last piece?" asked Sally. "I found it on the floor." Sally then looked down and froze. Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger.
"What's happening! What was that?!" shrieked Sally.
"Well it was a experiment that failed actually." Said Rotor nonchalantly.
"Well, can you reverse it?" asked sally in a panic voice. By this point her legs were engulfed by her still expanding body.
"I never bothered to figure out if I could." said Rotor, calmly as he walked over and poked Sally's expanding fat a few time. By this point Sally's upper body was growing close to the ceiling.
"Well what's going to happen to me?" Screamed Sally, as she pressed her hands against the ceiling.
"Well I guess, like all the other test subjects, you'll get bigger and bigger until you explode." Said Rotor.
"Explode! This can't be happing. This is horrible!"
"I'll say." said Rotor. "This place is going to be a mess. Well I'd better leave before you bust." Rotor calmly turned around and headed out the door.
"No! wait! Rotor, you have to come back!" pleaded Sally as her body was filling up the last crevasses of the room, pushing her head against the ceiling. "Rotor, you have to help me!" screamed Sally as she was blinded by her flesh. Then she felt as if her whole body was about to burst.
Then Sally woke up in a cold sweat, her eyes darting around her bedroom. "It was just a dream." she said as she calmed down.
Sally was hoping that yesterday was just a bad dream too. But realized as she felt her huge belly that this was all too real. She sighed and rolled over.
"Woah," said Sally as she fell off her bed, resulting a crash that shook all the furniture in the room, including a night stand where two books were balancing on edge. One of the books fell and hit the princess on the head. The bed was still quite roomy even compared to larger Sally now, but the princess had developed the habit of sleeping close to the edge of the bed. In this case too close.
"Ahh!" Sally cursed as she pushed herself up, rubbing her head were the book landed. Kneeling she picked up the book and saw the title, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Sally grimaced as her dream suddenly came into focus. She then stood up and sat back down on her bed. As she did the springs made a horrible creaking as Sally put her full weight on it, which sent chills down Sally's spine. Sally instantly jumped back up. "Oh well, I'm already out of bed, might as well get the day started." Said Sally as she reached for blue robe she had gotten with her trench coat the night before.
Sally then made her way thought the castle to the small breakfast nook were the Royal family ate every morning. Sally walked in while her parents, Maxillian and Alicia Acorn, and Hope Kintobor where having already eating. The room was small in relation to the other rooms in the castle, but it was one of Sally's favorite rooms. It was more of a green room than anything because it was fill with plants and flowers. It had large East widow, which made it a good room for the plants. A table was set up close to the opening, which had a small stone bench built in the wall before the window.
"Hello Sally…" said the king as his daughter walked in. The king rose from his seat to hug her. "How are you feeling?". Sally forced herself to smile.
"Fine papa. Just getting used to things" said the Princess as she hugged her mother.
"Did you sleep well?" asked the Queen.
"As well as I expected. Good Morning, Hope." said Sally.
It was about a year ago when Hope Kintobor came to live with Sally and her parents. Hope was the niece of Doctor Robotnik, the original Doctor Robotnik. When her people, the Overlanders (also know as humans), returned to Mobius from their exodus in space , Robotnik had invited them to live in Robotropolis only to betray them. Althought most of the Overlanders managed to escape to Station Square, the one last Overlander City, Hope, who was nothing like her uncle, seemed to have gotten the blunt of Robotnik's wrath. Both her father and grandmother, the only family she every knew, were taken away from her. It was at that point that she was invited to live with the royal family. In time she was considered an unofficial adoptive child of royal couple, and so Sally would soon consider her something of a little sister.
"Pull up a seat, Sally.", said Hope cheerfully, patting an empty chair next to her. Sally look at it. It seemed sturdy enough. But Sally thought back to the scale in the bathroom and sounds her bed makes when she sits on it . Sally was becoming paranoid about the possibility of breaking anything she came in contact with. To Sally it wasn't a matter of if she would break something but a matter of when she would break something. She looked over and the empty stone seat by the widow.
"I Think I'll sit over here." said Sally.
"I called for your ladies-in-waiting and Bunnie , they should be here around 11:00 to help you with your… new wardrobe. Now, what would you like for breakfast?" asked the Queen. Sally thought as she made herself a cup of coffee. Her stomach was still in knots from being so upset.
"I'm not really hunger, Mom. I'll just have a muffin." Said Sally as she pick one out of a basket that was sitting on the table.
"Are you sure, sweetheart?" asked the Queen. Sally nodded as she tore a bit of the muffin off and ate it. After awhile Hope finally spoke up.
"So Sally, have you looked at those books I gave you?" asked Hope, trying to shift the discussion. Both Hope and Sally were big readers and Hope had access to a huge collection of early Overlander writings. "Yeah they're good but one of them gave me nightmares." said Sally.
"You mean 'Dracula'?" asked Hope. Sally took a moment.
"Yeah…that one." answered Sally before she took a sip of her coffee, her eyes fixed on the table. Normally Sally and Hope would bust into a discussion on the books they've read. Everyone at the table could tell that Sally wasn't herself, and who could blame her.
"Sally…" said the King. Sally looked up, her eyes glazed over. "Oh my little Bean…" said the king using his beloved nickname for his daughter. "…It's going to be all right. I'm sure Haratio and your friend will find a way to get you back to normal sooner than you think. And… I should apologize about what I said the other day. I overacted a bit. I just care so much about you."
"It's alright, Dad. I know." said Sally as she smiled at her dad, who smiled back.
After breakfast, Sally headed back to her room to take a shower before the girls arrived. She squeezed herself thought her bathroom door, took off her robe off and hung it up. She drew open the curtains of her shower. For once she was happy for it's absurdly spacious size. After her shower, Sally put her robe back on and started to tidy up her bedroom before Bunnie or her ladies-in-waiting arrived. She made her bed and then she walked over to her closet , which had been left untouched since she first opened it two days ago. She started to close it when something had caught her eye. It was a backless dress in her favorite shade of blue. Sally had always meant to wear it, and she had several occasions were she could have. But she would always find an excuse not to go to any of them. She took it out of the closet and held it up to see how small it was compared to her now. "You never know what you have…"Said Sally aloud as she placed the dress back in her closet. Sally then sat on her bed, cringing at the sound of the springs again, and waited quietly for Bunnie to arrive. After a while, there was a knocking on here door.
"Come in" said Sally. The large doors opened just a bit. In popped Bunnie's head. Sally smiled and was about to greet her when she saw that Bunnie had a nervous look on her face. "What's wrong?" Sally asked.
"Well, Sally-girl you have a … visitor." said Bunnie. Sally's eyes widened at that. "Who?"
"That's it!" said a female voice from outside the room. Sally was relived that it wasn't Sonic, but disturbed none the less by someone unexpected dropping by. Sally then heard the sound a high heel boots rapidly crossing the stonework floor. The visitor pushed the door all the way open, bumping Bunnie a little. She took three steps into the room and then froze. Her jaw dropped as her bright purple eyes looked the princess up and down and then finally meeting the princess' gaze.
"Rouge" blurted out Sally, sharing the same look of disbelief that was on the bat that stood before her. "What are you doing here?" For all Sally knew Rouge didn't even hear her.
"What happened to you?" Rouge asked, still in disbelief.
"Didn't Bunnie tell you?" said Sally.
"Bunnie didn't tell me anything. In fact the rabbit tried her hardest to get me away from here." At that Sally look at Bunnie, who had an apologetic look on her face.
"I was attack by one of Robotnik's devices and it did… this… to me." Said Sally as he placed her hands on top of her heavy belly. Rouge took a moment.
"Well for a second there I thought the rich life had finally caught up with you. Caviar and bon-bons, ya' know." said Rouge laughing. Although it seemed good natured to her, Rouge's reaction to Sally's condition cut through her like a knife. She tried desperately to hold back her tears as she looked at Bunnie's shocked expression. "I tell you Princess, there's no middle ground for you…", Rouge continued, still giggling. "…ether you're skinny as a pole or as fat as a…". By that moment Sally quickly rose and half walk, half stomped slowly her way over to Rouge, who at this time was to taken back by Sally height. Sally then leaned down to Rouge and placed her hands on her hips to display the size of her arms. Sally's glare also took Rouge back. Bunnie had seen that look before, back in the Dr. Quack's office the day before. Sally was never one you wanted to get steamed and ,even thought her friends and family wouldn't admit it in fear of alienating Sally further, her new figure was a bit intimidating. Rouge the bat sheepishly spoke up, "I'm sorry Princess. I was just trying to lighten things up."
Before Sally could answer there was another knock on the door.
"Excuse me", said a female fox as she stood at the doorway. "Are we interrupting?" she asked as she was joined by three other girls with boxes in there hands. It was Sally's ladies-in-waiting. Sally straighten up and clutched her bathrobe tighter, somehow thinking that would disguise her girth .
"Oh yes, hello Clara, come in." Said Sally nervously. Sally had been dreading this. She was always nervous around the girls. Even thought by now she had become casual friends with all of them, there was still something uneasy to Sally about the idea of a group of people that "worked" on her, therefore Sally hardly asked for there services. Perhaps to her they represented a part of being a princess that was unknown to Sally and that scared her a bit. But what scared her the most was the fact that that they were so much more fashion conscious than she was. "And what were they going think of me now that I look like this!", thought Sally. The girls came in, set their supplies down, and gave a courtesy bow as they stood in a row, which was common practice. After a bit of silence one of the girls, a raccoon, finally spoke up.
"Your mother told us what happen. We're very sorry and if I may say…" she added as she looked over the princesses form. "… your still quite beautiful." The other girls nodded at that. "How can you say that?" thought Sally. But out loud she said,
"Thank you, that means a lot." She knew that they were just being polite.
"Well, should we get started?", finished the raccoon. The princess nodded. She walked over to were she was instructed, while the girls gathered their things. Bunnie sat down on Sally's bed, while Rouge found a seat on the inside window ceil. Sally was still a bit angry at Rougue and she let her body language show it. But then her anger was replaced with unease as she realized the fox in front of her was waiting for her to take her robe off. Sally removed it and handed to one of the girls, who looked like she had a hard time managing it as she placed it on the bed. The princess look down at her massive form and blushed. For the first time in her life she was ashamed to be naked. First they started to measure her waist. Such a thing would have taken only one person before, but now Sally had to hold the tape at her stomach while the fox named Clara walked around Sally. As they met, Sally was just about to drop it when the Clara said, "Wait a minute." Trying not attract the attention of the others she motioned for the princess to lean down. Sally did and the fox whispered in her ear.
"Your highness, I know this is a little embarrassing to ask but…are you… sucking your stomach in." Sally's blush deepened as she realized she had just been caught. "Your highness…" she continued "…these clothes are going to be very uncomfortable if you don't relax and…well, let it all hang out." at that Clara smiled. "That's best way we can help you. I promise you you'll look great." Sally could tell that she was trying to make her feel better. Sally looked over at Bunnie who had a look on her face that was both cheerful and supportive. It was then Sally realized that these people, with the exception of Rouge, sincerely wanted to help her. "Alright." said Sally very quietly. With that she stood up straight and let her stomach expanded to it's full size, and even thought it added about 9 inches to her measurement, she felt a lot comfortable in more ways than one.
After all the measurements were done, the girls asked Sally if she would like her hair done. Sally looking the mirror and agreed it needed some work. So Sally gently sat down on the set in front of her vanity mirror and started talk to the girls while one of the did her hair. Bunnie noticing that Sally ,who had her eyes close, was enthralled by the conversation. She walked up to Sally and went to work without the princess even noticing. It was a little later that Sally realized what was happening.
"Bunnie what are you doing?" she asked as she opened her eyes.
"Ah'm just putting some make-up on ya." said Bunnie, who had a big grin on her face.
"You know I don't wear make-up." said the princess, gently pushing Bunnie's hand back.
"Oh come on." pleaded Bunnie. "Ah'm halfway done." Sally considered it. Bunnie had always tried to get the princess to wear make-up. However, looking at the heavy make-up Bunnie was wearing made Sally cringed a bit. It look good on Bunnie but not her. "You could always take it off." said Bunnie arguing her case further.
"Alright." said Sally closing her eyes again. After everything was done, Sally went to get her robe as Bunnie and the girls kept talking.
"Nice to see you lighten up." said Rouge coolly. Sally didn't say anything as see tied her robe shut. "I didn't think you take what I said so badly." Again, Sally didn't respond. She just sat on her bed crossing her arms. She heard the awkward sounds of the springs once more, but she was too angry to care. So she and Rouge sat in silence for a while, Sally trying listening on the girls conversation. For some reason Sally thought they were up to something. Rouge finally spoke up. "So how much do you weight?" asked Rouge.
"That's it.." Sally snapped back harshly but discreatly. "…I get it. I'm fat. O.k. Fat and ugly!" Rouge raised her eyebrow at that remark.
"Now when did I call you ugly?" asked the bat. Sally flair up and was about to lash out… but then she realized that Rouge was right. Rouge never said she was ugly, just fat which is what she herself has been thinking the past 2 days. Then she sat back a bit.
"You laughed at me.", was the only thing the princess could think of saying. Rouge knodded.
"I could see how you could have thought that, but I didn't mean anything by it. It was just sort of a 'off the cuff' reaction. Bunnie filled me in while you were getting measured. This is just temporary right?" asked Rouge. Sally knodded. "Well why don't you try to make the best of it."
"Best of it!? How I'm I supposed to make the best of this?" said Sally, grabbing the bottom of her stomach and shaking it up and down. Rouge sat back, ignoring Sally's display. "Well I said you looked different, not ugly. I just hope you realize that soon , Princess, because right now the only thing ugly about you is your attitude ."
Sally just about had enough when the girls interrupted.
"Your Highness we have a little surprise for you." Said Clara, holding a large rectangular box in her arms. "Before we came over here we asked Bunnie to help us, since she could estamate your size, and so we picked up an outfit you can wear for the time being." Surprised, Sally took the box.
"Thank you so much." said Sally as she opened it. Sally reached in and carfully took out the first article of clothing. It was a bra and some underwear,both in deep blue, to which Sally responded, " Well, that's new." All the girls laughed at that. Sally then picked up a blue, long sleeve, low-cut shirt. Sally looked at it and her spirits sank. She didn't let on to the others, but she thought that it was just a bit too small. She fringed a smile and then picked up a short, black frilled skirt. Beautiful as it was, Sally was expecting something a bit longer. "Bunnie, how could you?" thought Sally. Seeing that the others were waiting for a reaction, Sally said, "This is so wonderful. Thank you all… but doesn't seem a bit small." holding up the shirt to herself.
"Trust us, Sally-girl." responded Bunnie. "Just try it on. We'll give ya a minute. Oh! Don't forget the shoes." finished Bunnie as she handed her another box. Then everyone left the room and closed the door. Sally look at her cloths and took a deep breath. She picked up her panties and unfolded them to full length. She sighed at how wided they were before putting them on. After a bit of a tussle with her bra she finally put on her skirt. "Oh gawd. Feels like my butt is hanging out." she said to herself as she pulled it down alittle. Then she put her shirt on. Like Sally had thought, It felt tight across her stomach and chest. Before she open the box her shoes were in, she suddenly realized that the box was far too small for boots. "Oh no…" said Sally. "Bunnie you didn't…". Sally opened the box and there, to Sally's dismay, were a pair of blue, high heel saddles. Sally had wore boots for as long as she could remember, and as a result she wasn't too graceful while wearing high heels. If she had to wear high heels she'd prefer not to weight over 400 pounds! "High heels! Bunnie, I'm going to sock you!" Sally closed the box and reached for her boots. Sally tired to but them on but they wouldn't go over her large calves. Frustrated, Sally finally submitted to putting on the high heels. She stuck here legs out to she how they looked. "Not bad" said Sally as she wiggled her toes. She watched them dissapper from her view as she stood up. She took a few uneasy steps.
"I bet I look ridiculous." said Sally. But then she caught her refelction in her full length mirror. To Sally's disbelief she actually didn't look too bad. In fact she look very comely. The skirt that she thought was too short fell comfortably across her thighs. And although her legs were heavy and wide, they were also surprisingly shapely. Her shirt contored to her wide figure quite nicely. It seemed flatten her stomach a bit and hugged her newly developed chest. It was then Sally realized just how ample she had become. She then looked at her face. Bunnie had actually done a wonderful job. It was just light enough for Sally's taste. Delighted, the princess couldn't help but make a little pose. She placed her legs together, put her hands on her hips, turned to the side a little, and pouted her lips. Sally, catching herself out of character, started to quietly laugh. "What I'm I doing?" she asked herself. Then she noticed that her stomach and chest bounced up and down with her laughter. "Ok got to remember not to laugh too much." she said trying to stop herself. But by now Sally couldn't help herself. A smile creped across her face as she took look at the door to make no was coming in. She look back at her refection. She took a few steps closer and then began to gently bounce in place, observing the movement of her chest. She then turned to see herself from the side when she noticed that the skirt fit over her large buttocks quite nicely. She then turned all the way around to look at her back. She adjusted the skirt a bit. Then she started to bounce again to see what would happen to her backside. She look at the door again. Then she looked back, raised her hand and gently, but firmly, slapped her butt. Sally couldn't help but start laughing again.
"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" said someone.
Sally froze. She slowly started to look over in the direction of the voice. There, standing on Sally's window ceil, was Rouge the Bat ,arms crossed, her back against the side of the wall with a big smile on her face.
"How did you get there?" asked Sally, froze with her hand still on her rear, too shocked to move let alone get angry.
"I flew around." said Rouge flexing her wings a bit.
"How…how long…have you been there?"
"Just before you started to watch yourself jiggle up and down." said Rouge. Sally started to blush as she slowly strighted up, placing her hands together in front of her.
"I'm so embarrassed." Said Sally turning towards the mirror. Sally looked as Rouge's reflection soon joined hers.
"One question: why did you do that?" asked Rouge. Sally was quiet, still too embarrassed to talk.
"Ok, let me put it this way…", Rouge smoothly continued. "…what is different about you."
"Why are you here Rouge?" asked Sally quietly, ignoring her question.
"My question first." Sally thought for a minute.
"I don't know, I just… I never really been this…shaply…before so I…so I was just…"
"Made the best of it.", finished Rouge with a smile.
"I guess you were right…It does feel a little good to have a big chest…even a big butt. I'm sorry I got mad at you.", said Sally.
"Nay, you were probably right to be mad at me. I've been known to rub people the wrong way… when I'm not rubbing them the right way." Said Rouge flirtatiously as she looked in the mirror, coping the pose Sally made a few minutes before.
"You got that right." said Sally, who couldn't help but smile. "Now my turn."
"What… oh yeah!" said Rouge, pulling herself away from her reflection. "I was sent to give you an very important message." Then Rouge reached down her cleavage and pulled out a small envelope.
"Do you always keep things there." asked Sally
"Hey, this outfit doesn't have pockets." defended Rougue. Sally wondered you could have known Rouge knew her. Rouge and Sally barely interacted with each other on a regular basis.
"Gross! It's warm!", exclaimed Sally as she took the envelope.
"Grow up." said Rouge. Sally opened it. Then her eyes widened as she remember what month it was.
"This is a invetation to Knuckles' birthday party on the Floating Island in three days."
"Yeah.", interrupted Rouge. "I had to head down here for awhile, and he asked for my to deliver it to you in person. I saw Bunnie heading over here and I figured I could get into that castle easier if I went with her rather than making an apointment or whatever it is you have to do to talk to you royal types." Just then the door opened up.
"Sally-girl. You o.k. we heard some talking." In walked Bunnie and the girls. When Bunnie saw Rouge standing there her eyes narrowed.
"Ah was wondering where yah went. How did yah get in here, yah sneaky little…" said Bunnie, still a bit mad about the thing's Rougue about Sally.
"It's o.k., Bunnie, Rouge and I were just talking." interrupted Sally.
"Well, alright then. If yah say so Sally-girl ." said Bunnie. Then she got her first good look at Sally and covered her mouth in exitiment.
"Oh Sally-girl, yah look great." said Bunnie and all the other girls echoed those settaments.
"You really think so." asked Sally as she spun around for them.
"Oh, yes your highness." said Carla. Sally was thrilled , but then something crossed her mind.
"Where did you get this outfit anyway?" asked Sally.
"We got it at the new mall they built down at the business district. I remember they had a store there for ,um, larger women." Said one of the girls.
"There is a mall." asked Sally.
"Yeah, it's supposed to help jump start the economy. Aren't you in charge of all that?" asked another girl.
"No." responded Sally. " I used to know about all that but now that my father is back on the throne, he kinda leaves me out of the loop."
"Well why don't we take ya down there." said Bunnie. "It will take your mind of things." Sally jumped back at that.
"What? me? No!" said Sally. "I'm not going anyplace where people can see me like this."
"Come on ,Sally-girl, you look great. And let's be honest with ourselves…" said Bunnie looking around at everybody in room. "…who's going to believe that Princess Sally Acorn, skinny as a green bean, would gain 350 pounds in two days and grow 2 feet taller. No one outside the castle except Dr. Quack and Rotor know that."
"Hey!" said Sally defensively, crossing her arms and resting them over her stomach. "I wasn't that skinny."
"Princess, you were as skinny then as you are fat now." said Rouge blunty. After that She looked around at all the girls who were glaring at her. "I did it again, didn't I." Rouge asked the Princess cooly.
"Just a little.", responded the princess calmly. Then she look at herself in the mirror. " Alright let's go. I have to shop for a birthday present anyway. But no drawing attention to ourselves." All the girls cheered at that.
"So your going to Knuckles birthday?", asked Rouge. Sally looked down.
"I'm not sure. I haven't missed one since we got back in touch. It would be a shame not to go. Ether way I'd I like to give him a gift."
Sally asked everyone to leave the room. After a while Sally came out, counting some money which was part of an allowance she got for her parents. Then, to all of the girls surprise, Sally then folded up the money and stuck it down her cleavage. Then she grabbed her chest and pressed it together a bit to secure the continents.
"Sally-girl!" exclaimed Bunnie half shocked. "Ah never seen you do anything like that before.
"Hey…" said Sally playfully. "this outfit doesn't have any pockets.". While all the girls laugh, Rouge just smiled and nodded.
As the girls walked thought the mall, Sally's eye kept darting around. It was a nice place with nurmourous stores, Inspired by shopping areas in places like Station Square and Enchinalpoilis. Places with very stable economies. It seemed like a good idea to help heal the Knothole, which before this didn't really have a place of organized consumption. But Sally's mind wasn't totally on shopping, Sally was looking aound to see if anyone one would notice her. But after a while she started to realize that no one recognized her.
"I don't why I was so nervous." said Sally, letting her guard down. "What could have possibly happened anyway." finished the princess as she stepped around a corner. Just then Sally ran into someone.
"Ouch" said Sally and the person simultaneously. Sally, who was about four times bigger than the person, was relatively unmoved. But the other person, who seemed to have ricocheted of Sally's stomach, was totally knocked to the ground.
"O my gosh!" said Sally, incredibly embarrassed. "I'm so sorry." Sally started to reach down. But then she froze in horror as she realized that she just knocked over… Sonic the Hedgehog…
