Summary: Lee gets her dream offers in an opening bakery with unexpected results.
Note: This is a parody of Panty and Stocking "A Diet Syndrome". One of my favorite episodes of the entire franchise.
At the NYC Arcade Center, the Lotus Ninjas were surrounded around the arcade machine. Lee held onto the joystick and pressed buttons rapidly at the fighting game. Ella popped her bubblegum and Ellie licked onto her vanilla ice cream as they are watching Lee play the game while Donna was staring on her phone without care.
"And people actually find this game challenging?" Ellie questioned.
"This is a pretty lame game." Ella said with a smile.
"This game is so over in about five seconds." Lee said.
Lee finished fighting the final boss, earning the highest score in the process.
"Well, Lee reached the high score." Ella said. "Who wants pizza?"
"I'll meet you guys outside. Just let me place my name on my precious high score." Lee said with a cocky smile.
As Ella, Ellie, and Donna made their way out of the venue, Lee began typing her name on her new high score.
"Excuse me, dear. May I have a chat with you if you don't mind?"
Lee turned around to see a female adult standing behind her. She has fair skin, long blonde hair tied in a side ponytail, and sky blue eyes. She wore a white jacket over a golden yellow blouse, white business pants, and white high heel shoes.
"Hi, I'm Larisa Weisz." The woman spoke with a sweet smile. She handed out a flyer to Lee. "The owner of a new bakery shop Empire Cake."
"Empire Cake Bakery?!" Lee gasped with awestruck eyes. "As in freshly baked cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and other delicious sweet food assortments?!"
"I knew my business will caught your attention." Larisa said. "I was looking for someone who can blog all of my lovely assortments to boom it my bakery sky high. And you're just the one for the job."
"Me?" Lee asked.
"Yes, you." Larisa said. "You got a keen taste for sweets. Not to mention, you do look like an influential social media blogger. So, what do you say?"
"Do I get free desserts for this?" Lee asked.
"Of course." Larisa replied.
"I'm in!" Lee grinned excitedly.
In the Crete Fortress, Leona sat on the couch inside the living room. She stared at a table full of two cakes, a cupcake, and a red velvet cheesecake. She took a big bite of a red velvet cheesecake with a huge smile on her face.
"Man, this is so good! This cheesecake was so worth it!" Lee squealed as she shivered from the deliciousness. She then began tapping on her phone and posted a picture of the cheesecake on her blog. "I'm so gonna post it on the blog!"
Donna walked out of the lab with high-tech shield sunglasses on her face, Ellie exited the kitchen with a plate of shrimp dumplings, and Ella came back from her workout. They all immediately stopped at the sweetening smell in the living room.
"What the heck? Why does it smell like gummy bears in here?" Donna asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ella, Donna, and Ellie marched up in front of Lee.
"Alright, Lee. What's going on and what are you eating?" Ella asked.
"The new bakery shop just offered me free desserts." Lee said simply. "The more I blog, the more treats I get."
"Oh yeah, cause you'll be the right sucker to chomp up a mouthful of sugar sweets." Ellie said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Now, don't get tense. I understand it's hard for you to accept that your so-called infinite stomach can't harm your digestive system, but you and I both know that's no way near my fault." Lee countered as she took another bite of her cheesecake.
"Uh, it pains me to say this. And it does. But Ellie's right, Lee. If you can't stop eating the pastry cart, you're gonna be as fat as a giant beach ball." Donna warned.
"Oh, come on, girls. Have you three not learn better by now? We're kunoichis. I don't get fat. Never had, never will. No sweet food in the world can change my super flawless body." Lee said with a chuckle. "I know that must be hard to hear for someone whose temper and inventions blows up like microwave marshmallows." She gave Ella and Donna a smirk on her face. "And you two have been blowing up lately, haven't you?"
Donna and Ella narrowed their eyes at their older sister's comment, leaving Ellie giggle under her breath.
"You know, Donna and I are gonna laugh our butts off when you have to use a bo staff to get out of bed." Ella warned.
"You can count on it." Donna agreed.
Ellie sneakily tried to take Lee's cupcake, but Lee grabbed her arm without looking and slammed her repeatedly before knocked Ellie away to the wall.
Later that night, Lee was reading a magazine on her bed.
"No way. Shut up!" Lee gasped as she stared longingly at the screen on her phone. "Triple chocolate layer cake and white chocolate sugar cookies at Empire Cake Bakery? I'm so gonna check it out first thing in the morning!"
The next morning, Lee woke up out of bed and walked herself inside the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror and pinched the sides near her waist, causing her to quickly notice that her waist was getting fatter.
"Wait, this can't be right." Lee said with a confuse eyebrow. "I just let those girls make me paranoid, that's all. No big deal."
Lee stepped onto the bathroom's scale and shockingly saw that she had actually gained weight with a horror expression on her face.
"Am I...a fatty?" Lee whispered.
Lee began jogging through the city with a black hoodie and black sweatpants as she was planning to lose the weight from her body.
Ella, Donna, and Ellie were eating breakfast together in the kitchen as they were unaware of their sister's morning jog.
Lee quietly snuck back into the fortress and into the bathroom. She stepped onto the scale again and shockingly discovered that she had gained a few pounds.
"This...this can't be right." Lee whispered in fear. "I need a plan. Fast."
That afternoon, Lee stared at her fashion magazine on the couch. She secretly wore a small black vibrating weight loss machine underneath her cloaking spell.
At that moment, Angel entered the living room with five small white boxes in her arms.
"Hey, girls, check this out!" Angel called out. "Some woman just came up to me from Empire Cake Bakery and thrust these boxes in my face!"
Lee quickly turned off the weight loss device to avoid suspicions from her sisters and her best friend.
Donna came out of her lab as Ella and Ellie followed behind her.
"Whoa, why'd she give them to you anyway?" Donna asked as she stared at the packages.
"Not a clue." Angel replied with a shrug. She held a small note in her hand and looked at it. "But it has a note on it. It says 'Dear Leona, thank you for cooperation. My business has never been better. Here's some freshly baked brownies on the house."
"Uh huh. That's nice." Lee said coolly with a disinterested face.
As Donna opened the boxes, she, Ella, Ellie, and Angel looked down at what they saw inside.
"Ooh, white chocolate and fudge brownies!" Ellie exclaimed.
"Yeah, Lee, how do you even eat these stuff?" Ella asked.
Ella, Donna, Ellie, and Angel noticed that Lee hadn't said a word at all as she was still staring at her magazine.
"Uh, Lee? Did you hear us? You take the boxes. They're from Empire Cake Bakery." Angel said.
"Wait a minute. You mean that place everyone in the city is getting their stomachs craving over?" Ella asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"No thank you." Lee said nervously. "I have no interest in that interest."
Ella, Donna, Ellie, and Angel exchanged surprised looks.
"Wait, what?" Donna asked in confusion.
"Seriously, Lee?" Angel questioned as she cocked her head with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey, it's her call." Ella said with a shrug.
"Oh, please. I'm not buying it. This is Ms. Sweet Tooth we're talking about here." Ellie smirked. "And I'll prove it. These brownies are mine!"
"What?!" Lee shouted.
"Is there a problem, Lee?" Ellie asked.
"Nope. Not at all." Lee replied as she quickly looked back to her magazine.
Ellie started eating the brownies from the boxes happily, making Lee struggle to control herself. In about few seconds, she couldn't take the torment anymore. Lee tossed her magazine aside and turned to stop Ellie.
"NO, STOP, WAIT!" Lee screamed.
But it was too late. Ellie already devoured the brownies from the boxes happily, leaving Lee watch the empty boxes in agonizing horror.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you decide you wanted some?" Ellie asked with a taunting smile.
"Did you decide you wanted to shut up?" Lee muttered with a growl.
"Oh, Lee?" Ellie said.
"Yes, Ellie?" Lee said with a glare.
"Are you on a diet?" Ellie asked with an evil look on her face. "I mean, you can tell us!"
Lee let out a scream as her shocked face became pale at Ellie's words.
"A diet?" Ella repeated in surprise.
"Why the heck Lee need to be on a diet?" Angel questioned.
"Yeah, she look fine to us." Donna agreed.
"They're right! Why would you even say that?!" Lee said quickly with a sheepish smile. "I'm naturally slim and fit! There's no reason for me to be on a diet at all!"
"Oh, really?" Ellie asked.
Ellie's smile grew. She held her hand near Lee's waist and enveloped a brief glow of magical energy, dissolving the cloaking spell and revealing the vibrating weight loss belt device.
"Then, what's this, Ms. Sweet Tooth?" Ellie questioned with a grin.
Donna, Ella, and Angel gasped in shock as they collectively stared at the weight loss device on Lee's waist.
"No. Freaking. Way!" Donna, Ella, and Angel cried.
Lee suddenly started laughing insanely and skipped her way towards Ellie.
"Ellie! Come here!" Lee called in a sweet voice.
Lee grabbed Ellie's arm and marched straight into the kitchen as Ella, Donna, and Angel watched them with dropping jaws.
"Teasing me is one thing, but eating those brownies as some kind of amusement in front of my face!" Lee yelled as she started hitting Ellie repeatedly with a pot while chasing after her sister around in circles. "Spit it out right now or I'll bang you into an one way trip to the spirit world!"
"You know, I can't automatically do that." Ellie said weakly as she finally stopped running with bruises.
"WELL, KEEP TRYING!" Lee shouted dangerously.
Lee slammed Ellie to the ground with one more swing of the pot in her hands.
"Whatever! So, I've gained three pounds. I'm not gonna be a baby about it!" Lee said with a growl. "I'll be my skinny self again by tomorrow! Just wait and see."
During the few following days, Lee began her dieting with a morning jog around the city. She has been doing some push-ups and sit-ups in the dojo. She then began to eat only small food with few calories. Saldana watched her oldest daughter following many workout video routine with a confused look on her face. Ella was even shocked to see Lee doing jogging runs with intense speed.
Donna, Angel, and Ellie decided to head over at Empire Cake Bakery to buy several boxes of sweet foods. They returned to the fortress and couldn't find Lee anywhere just when Ella came back from her jogging.
Donna, Angel, Ellie, and Ella eventually made their way to the darkened dojo. Out of the pure darkness came Leona. Donna, Angel, Ellie, and Ella shrieked when they saw that Lee looked like a ghost with an emotionless face.
Ellie, Angel, and Donna quickly jumped behind Ella in fear as they stared at Lee with frightening faces. Ella nervously offered the plate to Lee, who merely shook her head and dropped it to the floor. Ellie, Angel, Donna, and Ella stared at the plate in shock as Lee moved past them out of the dojo.
Meanwhile, Lee stepped on the scale in the bathroom to check her weight once again after a long, exhausting week of workout. Her eyes suddenly went pure white as she had discovered that she has grown even fatter three times than her normal size with a sizable stomach. Despite all her efforts, Lee had somehow gained even more weight than before.
"Are you kidding me?" Lee muttered.
Lee finally had enough as she screamed in horror that made Ella, Ellie, and Donna jumped off the couch in the living room to land on the floor.
"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Lee cried in outrage.
Ella, Ellie, and Donna spun around to watch Lee speeding her way to the kitchen with an obese body.
"HOW IN THE HECK DID THIS HAPPEN?! I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FLAWLESS BODY FIGURE! I DON'T DESERVED TO BE PUNISH FOR EATING SWEET FOOD?!" Lee screamed furiously.
Lee slammed the table repeatedly with her bare hands and began gorging the sweet foods with a delightful look on her face.
"Alright, this has gone too far, Lee!" Ella declared as she and her two younger sisters witnessed Lee eating like a crazy person. "You can't start gobbling up in the kitchen. You need to take it down a notch!"
Lee turned around and faced her sisters with manic look on her face filled of sweet foods in her mouth.
"Okay, it's cool!" Donna cried in shock.
"Yeah, keep eating and don't throw up on us!" Ellie said.
Lee continued to devour the sweet foods, leaving her younger sisters stand back in disgust and worry.
The next morning, the Lotus Ninjas were sleeping peacefully in their beds. As Lee slept on her bed, her body began expanding at exponential rates that smashed through the walls and sent her sisters flying into the living room.
"Seriously, Lee?!" Ella yelled with a groan.
Donna, Ella, and Ellie quickly got shocked at Lee, who has grown into a spherical giant that she destroyed the bedroom area around her.
"OMG, girl, what happened?!" Ellie screamed. "You're like a giant beach ball!"
"I DON'T KNOW! I JUST WOKE UP LIKE THIS!" Lee boomed in a deeper voice.
"I don't know about Donna and Ella because they mention it before, but I'll do it." Ellie said. She started to laugh while pointing her finger at Lee. "We're gonna have to use a bo staff to get you out of there!"
"SHUT UP! BECAUSE WHEN I DO GET OUT OF HERE, YOU'RE GONNA BE MY NEXT TRAINING DUMMY! COUNT ON IT!" Lee shouted irritably.
Then suddenly, Angel arrived in the living room.
"Guys, you're not gonna believe...!" Angel cried. She stopped to see Lee in her giant balloon size and started laughing crazy. "Whoa, she looks like a giant parade balloon!"
Ella snapped her fingers and telekinetically knocked Ellie and Angel into the air to the ground.
"Let's focus on the real problem." Ella said.
"Ella's right. As funny as watching balloon sized Lee struck in her room, I managed to discover that everyone all over the city are swelling up to the size of balloons because of this."
Donna pulled up an image of various sweet foods from her shield sunglasses.
"Hey, that's what Lee ate when she went all crazy last night." Ella said.
"When Lee was doing crazy, I've managed to examine the sweet foods and learned that it was made from some black Arcane dust that increases the amount of a person's body fat into a size of big unpoppable balloon." Donna explained.
"What's Arcane dust?" Angel asked.
"It's a magical golden glitter-like powder that can be use for many things depending on the color." Donna answered. "So, it's obvious that what we see here can only be the work of a mystic."
"Oh! So they're the ones that turned Lee into an inflated beach ball? You hear that, sis?" Ellie called to her older sister.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE! I'M GONNA POUND THAT MYSTIC DOWN A SIZE!" Lee yelled.
Lee broke out of the bedroom area and crashed into the living room floor.
"Cool, we'll get to ride on Lee to the bakery shop!" Ellie exclaimed childishly.
Outside, Lee began bouncing around the city streets. Ellie sat on Lee's head while holding onto her sister's strands tightly. Ella sat on Ellie's shoulder, Angel sat on Ella's shoulder, and Donna sat on Angel's shoulder in perfect balance.
"Keep going straight! We'll be at the Empire Cake Bakery in no time!" Donna shouted to Ellie.
"Roger that!" Lee shouted back.
In Empire Cake Bakery, Larisa magically glazed black Arcane dusts all over the sweet foods. Her skin is now blue, long black hair pulled back into a ponytail at the top of her head, and red eyes. She was wearing a black jacket over a dark blue blouse, black business pants, and black high heel shoes. She also has purple earrings and purple lipstick.
Not to mention, her entire bakery was heavily modified with advanced technologies.
"My business has been growing excellent to the max!" Larisa said with a happy smile. She waved her hands to decorate the confections with her magic. "Thanks to that Leona girl, it'll be sweet-flavored magical extravaganza over the city and soon the Hidden City and the world!"
"That's extremely endearing for a woman with sweet tooth." Angel spoke.
Larisa turned around to see Ella, Angel, Ellie, and Donna stood on a platform near the window while Lee looked at Larisa from the outside.
"Who the heck are you?" Larisa snapped.
"A team whose gonna take you down and shut your factory out of business!" Ella declared.
Ella, Ellie, and Angel looked at Lee as they began snickering at the sight of the gigantic blue mystic kunoichi behind them while Donna rolled her eyes with a groan.
"How dare you!" Larisa yelled. "This bakery isn't going anywhere as long as I ran this place! Ya got that?!"
Larisa waved her hand in the air and conjured five large cannons to take aim at the Lotus Ninjas and Angel.
"Open wide! Time for you to try out my special Arcane frosting!" Larisa shouted.
Larisa began firing sprays of black glittering frosting from the cannons at the Lotus Ninjas and Angel.
"Oh snap!" Ellie cried as she wrapped her arms around Ella, Angel, and Donna in fear. "We can't swallow that load! I don't wanna get fat!"
Donna, Angel, and Ella closed their eyes to brace themselves. When they realized that they didn't feel any frosting on them, they looked back to see Lee consuming the frosting while guarding them.
"Oh, yeah! Take it all, darling! You like it, don't cha?" Larisa smiled.
"Wow..." Angel muttered in disgust.
"Okay, that's gross." Donna whispered as she covered her mouth to prevent herself from throwing up.
Ellie was twitching her eyebrow with her mouth hanging wide open.
"Way to take one for the team, sis." Ella said.
"GAINING WEIGHT IS ONE THING, BUT TURNING ME INTO THIS BIG, FAT BLOB, YOU'RE GONNA PAY!" Lee called out.
Lee raised her arm in the air and engulfed blue energy into a fist, making Larisa back away in fear.
"NOW FEEL MY WRATH, YOU SUGAR FILLING WITCH!" Lee yelled.
Lee swung her energized fist at Larisa, but the attack was ineffective when the blue mystic kunoichi hit the woman three times.
"WHAT?! I CAN'T USE MY MAGIC!" Lee gasped in shock.
"I should have mention this earlier." Donna said with a sheepish smile. "Once the Arcane dust reaches inside your body, you can't do anything with her magic."
Ella, Ellie, and Angel only facepalmed at Donna's words.
Larisa quickly fled out of the bakery.
"You people aren't ready to experience for the sugary revolution!" Larisa said.
"Hold it right there!" Ella yelled. She, Donna, Angel, and Ellie ran surrounded Larisa as they blocked the mystic woman's path. "You think you can make these cakes and get away with it? Take down this, sugar mystic lady!"
Angel swung black energy waves at Larisa as Ella, Donna, and Ellie shot several magical energy bolts at her.
"Not...fair...!" Larisa said weakly as she passed out to the ground in defeat.
"Well, that was easy." Angel said with a groan.
"Yeah, I'd expect more of a fight from that woman." Ella agreed.
Then, Lee deflated back to her original size.
"Yay! You're back to being hot." Ellie said.
"Thanks to the Arcane dust being drain out of her system." Donna said.
Lee checked her body and looked up at her team with a giggling smile.
Back in the Crete Fortress, Lee sat on the couch with a full plate of sweet foods on the table inside the living room.
"You have got to be kidding me." Donna said with a groan.
"Yeah, after all that." Angel said.
"Well, you better not get fat again." Ella warned.
"Oh, please, girls. I don't mind some junk in the trunk if I can eat what I want." Lee said. "Going without sweets is like going without pizza. Not that you three would have any idea what that's all about."
Ellie quietly tried to creep up on Lee's desserts again, but she detected her little sister without looking.
"Don't even think about it, Ellie!" Lee said with a dangerous smile.
Lee knocked Ellie again into the wall.
"So worth it!" Lee squealed as she took a big bite of vanilla cake.
Lee looked at the readers with a wink.
