Chapter 46: Weight Gain II:

I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!

Once again, I've led us all to victory! And

saying it wasn't easy would be the understatement

of the goddamn century! Though everyone survived,

Blaze got some oil-stains on her shoes, Silver found

out that he was possessed, and is to this day

holding a serious grudge against Eggman Nega

(and constantly complaining about how he

wasn't the one to finish him off), and I suffered

a wound that only recently healed. Even so, Amy

insisted that I wait for an extra week or so to make

sure of it, and thus I'm stuck here, wallowing in my

own boredom!

11 days had passed since the last chapter. At the house, peace was once again established; Silver was no longer sleeping in the living room, Amy and Blaze had become friends again, and all the damage previously done to the hallways had been fixed. Additionally, Sonic and his friends were put into the spotlight once again due to their recent defeat of yet another villain who was bent on taking Mobius over.

It was noon, and Sonic was lying awake in his bedroom with the door shut and the TV on, (though he wasn't particularly interested in it). Due to his injury, he wasn't allowed to get out of bed except to use the bathroom, and for the sake of letting him rest, his friends were not allowed to enter the room either. Lonely and bored, Sonic started blindly flipping through channels, various snippets of TV shows and commercials sounding one after another:

"Snoo-PINGAS usual, I see?!"

"Are you having heavy menstrual cycles at the age of 40 or up?"

"Screw you guys! I'm going home!"

"Sprays on blue, turns white when it's clean!"

"Lois, get the ruler! We're measuring again!"

...And so on and so forth.

Without warning, Amy walked in, carrying a tray of lunch for Sonic: A big steaming bowl of chili-dog soup, a plate full of thinly-sliced baguette toasted to a crisp, a cayenne pepper shaker (in case Sonic wanted his soup to be more spicy) and a tall glass of milk (in case he were to make the soup too spicy). Chili-dog soup was simply chili con carne with sliced hot dogs mixed in, and grated cheddar on top. It was Sonic's second-favorite application of the chili-dog, losing only to chili dogs themselves.

Sonic sat up, prompting her to set the tray down before kissing him on the cheek.

"Hey Sonic, I brought your favorite! How's your hi-? *GASP*" Amy asked, only to cut herself off as she saw that Sonic had landed on a Victoria's Secret commercial while flipping through channels.

"D'uhh, no pain at all today!" Sonic replied, blushing and quickly flipping to an episode of Sonic X as he said this.

"That's...good." Amy replied, "Oh, and there's more soup on the stove if you want it."

Sonic nodded, not looking up from his lunch as Amy closed the door once again. After he had finished scraping the remaining streak of soup out of his bowl with the last piece of toast, Sonic set the tray on the nightstand and figured that since nobody was looking, he would try and see if he could stand up and walk now that his injury had healed greatly. He cautiously got out of bed and found that there was no pain at all when he tried to walk.

However, something didn't feel right, and it wasn't the stitches that had been inserted into his side. Sonic headed for the bathroom and jumped in shock at the sight of himself in the mirror. During the many days that Sonic had been lying in bed, he had put on much weight. His stomach was sticking out 2 feet in front of him, and a pair of man-boobs had replaced his once broad chest.

"Oh my god! How much did I put on?!" He asked, immediately pulling Amy's bathroom scale out of the drawer.

Once the number on the scale stopped moving, it read 175 lbs.; just below 100 pounds above Sonic's normal weight (being 77 lbs). Without hesitation, Sonic dashed out of the room, though he couldn't run nearly as fast as before due to the excess weight.

Meanwhile, another commotion was going on elsewhere within the mansion. Rouge and Shadow had just arrived home from their romantic camping trip, and it appeared that they'd had a good time as one could tell by their satisfied facial expressions and relaxed attitude. The two had also gotten quite tanned, and had gotten a fair amount of bug bites. While Shadow unpacked the suitcases in the bedroom, Rouge strolled down the hall alongside Amy.

"So you're not gonna believe this, but I'm pregnant!" Rouge exclaimed.

Amy let out a squeal of excitement.

"Well as they say, wonderful things are always bound to happen when you're on vacation!" She said.

"I know, right!? And now I'm in the same boat as you!" Rouge replied with a smirk.

"Haha, yeah! And I just can't wait to help you lose the baby-weight this time!" Amy added.

The two girls shared a hearty laugh at that comment, now sitting at the kitchen table and helping themselves to a box of cold, leftover pizza. Sonic Jr. walked aimlessly into the room and Amy immediately began to rub him on the head.

"You hear that, Junior? You're gonna have a sidekick!" She said, "Just like your father!"

Suddenly, Sonic rushed into the room.

"Guys! Do you see this!?" He asked.

"Now just why in the hell are you out of bed?!" Amy scolded.

"Um, because we're Sonic Heroes?" Sonic replied with a sheepish grin, only to receive a scowl from Amy, "Okay, in all seriousness, the pain's gone and I can walk normally now. But anyways, I'VE PUT ON ALMOST 100 FUCKING POUNDS!"

"Well I can see that! You look like your old self from back in '93!" Amy replied, followed by she and Rouge laughing again.

"Oh! Wait a second!" Rouge said, pulling a long, fake, frizzy, brown mustache out from under her breastplate.

She reached out and placed it under Sonic's nose. The girls laughed once more.

"Ha ha, real funny!" Sonic groaned, angrily ripping the Eggman-style mustache off his face, "Seriously, look what this injury did to me!"

"Well in all seriousness, I could help you lose that, just like how I helped your wife and Blaze!" Rouge said, picking mushrooms off of her second slice of pizza and not making eye-contact with the now obese hedgehog.

"Thanks for the offer, but I don't wanna tire you out even more after that trip. If I work hard enough, I should be back to normal in no time." Sonic replied, proceeding to jog in the direction of the basement, jiggling as he went.

"But remember what Doctor Wellsworth said! Take it easy down there!" Amy called after him, picking an olive out of the bite she had just taken of her third slice and tossing it into a napkin, "Oh, speaking of him, mind if I call him and schedule a check-up for your baby?"

"Ugh, anyone but that horny lunatic!" Rouge replied, "I swear, if he makes one comment about me and my figure, I may end up screw-kicking him to death before he can even check on it!"

"Oh, relax. I'm sure he would probably get fired for saying something like that." Amy replied.

"Hmph. Well I'm not taking any chances." Rouge insisted.

"Aww, but then we'd have the same doctor deliver all the babies in the household!" Amy said.

"Admittedly, that would be nice...Alright, I'll do it! But if that man lays a finger anywhere on me other than my stomach, don't blame me!" Rouge replied, watching as Amy immediately went for the house-phone.
