A/N: And here we have another chapter for the Infinity Train AU story today. And this time, Tulip would learn something unique along the way. Plus, I have a special announcement in the end of this story, so please, feel free to read all the way, or at the very least skip to the end, whichever suits your fancy. Either way, enjoy. :)
Infinity Train: The All-You-Can-Eat Car
Chapter 6: The Food Pyramid Car
Sometime later, Tulip and Atticus were out looking for a car with abnormal readings, but had no such luck so far.
"Well, looks like every car we've been to has been clear so far.", Tulip grinned.
"Yes. But I have to wonder. How will we know if a car has corrupted code?", Atticus puzzled.
"One word, Atticus. Turtles. A whole number of them, in fact.", Tulip responded.
"Oh. Well, that certainly explains why Amelia couldn't make anything without any turtles.", Atticus responded.
"Yeah. It kinda does, doesn't it?", Tulip grinned before she opened the door and discover inside, a cloudy area with a pink atmosphere and, much to her joy, as well as puzzlement, a literal food pyramid.
"Whoa! A food pyramid?", Tulip asked in surprise just before her huge belly started growling.
"Uh-oh. Sounds like it's time to eat.", Tulip grinned as Atticus went in first.
"That pyramid does look tantalizingly beautiful.", Atticus commented before the obese red-head then tried to get in next only to get stuck like last time.
"Oop. And I'm stuck. Again.", Tulip grinned before she then sucked in her gut, humongous as it was, and was able to scooch her way in a bit more easily afterwards.
"Oof! Made it.", Tulip grinned.
Once the two got inside, they took in quite the beautiful sight the pyramid had to offer.
"Wow... There's so much food...! I can't wait to eat it all! Or at least one bite of everything.", Tulip spoke in awe before realizing something.
"Oh. Guess I'd better make good use of that water bottle. If I could just find it somewhere...", Tulip spoke as she then looked through her fat folds before she then finally found what she was looking for and pulled it out.
"There it is.", Tulip grinned.
"Uh, Tulip? Do you think it's safe to drink all that exactly? There could be side effects. Plus, there's a label that says so.", Atticus warned while pointing to said label before Tulip then turned it to notice that there is, indeed a label about its side effects.
"Huh? What do you know? And it looks like the side effects from drinking more than necessary are increased gaining rate with improved metabolism control, increased appetite stimulation, and is transmissible after effects start. Transmissible? But how?", Tulip puzzled just before her belly growled again.
"Oh, boy. Guess I'll have to see for myself.", Tulip responded before she started drinking the rest of the bottle until it was empty.
However, nothing seemed to happen as of yet.
"Well, it doesn't seem like anything's happening yet so far.", Tulip shrugged before she then waddled over toward a burger and took a bite before quickly becoming infatuated.
"Mmm...! This is so good!", Tulip beamed before she then ate half of the burger and then went for the fries as well as half of the ice cream sundae staffs, which caused her body to bloat up and puff out by the belly, chest, butt, arms, and legs while Tulip's triple chin developing, making her moan in wonder as Atticus watched in slight surprise with a gasp before Tulip burped.
"Oh, yeah. That's the stuff... Oh. Uh, pardon me, though.", Tulip blushed a bit before her belly started growling again.
"Mmm...! This feels so good. I can't wait to eat, grow, and expand.", Tulip spoke, starting to not only become lost in that train of thought as her eyes were closed, but also starting to grow bigger, fatter, and, if anything, wider, as she moaned blissfully again.
"Uh, Tulip? You might want to, uh...", Atticus began before he needed to go somewhere with some space left as it was too late to stop her 2nd wind of growth.
"Eat..., grow..., expand... Eat..., grow..., expand... Eat, grow, expand. Eat, grow, expand. Eat, grow, expand!", Tulip chanted in moans as Atticus grew astonished by how big and fat Tulip was growing now, especially to the point where she was not only growing into an immobile blob, but also growing into the same size and shape as the pyramid, given her surroundings, that is.
But it was only after her belly started to feel pressed down somewhat that the growth stop.
"Huh? Why does my belly feel like it's being pressed down?", Tulip puzzled.
"Uh, Tulip? Far be it from me, but maybe you'd want to try opening your eyes?", Atticus suggested before Tulip opened her eyes and noticed how big she actually got, much to her surprise with a gasp.
"Whoa! Look at how huge I am! I'm like a huge blob now! Who knew it'd feel this good to let myself go that much...? I didn't even know I could get that big without eating more food like this.", Tulip moaned, satisfied with her now humongous, immobile body, just before she heard something from outside.
"Who's hungry for adventure?", a voice asked nearby.
"Me! I'm also hungry for real food!", another voice responded.
"Uh-oh.", Tulip spoke before she suddenly shrank back to normal body size as well as weight, much to her surprise.
"Huh? I'm back to normal? But how?", Tulip puzzled.
"Well, let's not look a gift horse in the mouth.", Atticus spoke just before the door opened from the other side with Tulip's reflection, the passenger, and a deer from before arrived there, much to her surprise, just as much as the former of the three.
"What the...? Tulip, is that you? Somehow, I pictured you with..., you know, more clothes on.", the former reflection spoke.
"And you, too? Somehow, I pictured you with a bit more hair like before.", Tulip responded.
"Touché.", the reflection responded.
"So...", Tulip began.
"So...", the reflection responded.
"Uh, excuse me. Do you two know each other?", the passenger asked.
"Actually, yeah. Jesse, this is Tulip. The prime I told you about.", the reflection introduced.
"Hi.", Tulip grinned.
"Okay, this is embarrassing to see you like this. Mostly because there doesn't seem to be a swimming pool around here and you're wearing some kind of swimsuit. Is there?", Jesse responded.
"Well, not to my knowledge, but yeah. Let's leave it at that.", Tulip responded with a chuckle before the deer did a wolf whistle.
"Now, that is quite the charmer, huh, Jeffrey?", the deer asked.
"And who's that?", Tulip asked.
"Oh. Well, the deer is Alan Dracula, but the paras... the other one in his mouth, is Perry.", Jesse responded.
"Pleasure to meet you.", Perry introduced.
"Uh, hi.", Tulip greeted in puzzlement before remembering something.
"Oh, and this is Atticus. King and Uniter of the Cardigans and the Pembrookes. Did I get that right?", Tulip asked.
"Why, yes, indeed. Quite well, Tulip.", Atticus grinned.
"Woof! A talking dog with a crown? Now, I've seen everything. Oh, right. Say, can a fine gentleman like me get a beautiful gal like you anything?", Perry asked.
"Well, uh, some chips would be nice, actually.", Tulip grinned.
"'Yes, your Grace'.", Perry playfully complies before he then launched his spinning head toward the chips on the ceiling to cut them off with the antlers before the head retreated back to the body with the chips falling toward the antlers afterwards.
"Here you go, milady. Complimentary chips and hey! Thick, meaty chili. Meat and chips...great! I'll bet you the old Alden couldn't do that. Ha, ha!", Perry spoke as he then held some chips with his antlers and picked up one of them with pliers from his hoof before dipping it in chili.
"Thanks. I guess. And by the way, it's Alan Dracula. At least that's what Jesse told me.", Tulip responded as she picked up some with Perry then eating the chip with meat on it and walked forward.
"Wait. What are you doing? Alan Dracula is a vegetarian!", Jesse exclaimed.
"Well, not anymore. See, I'm growing and changing, just like you, Jerome.", Perry spoke.
"Um..., it's Jesse.", Pink Steven corrected.
"Yeah, like I said, Jess...", Perry began before the same thing from earlier in the last car happened again, but this time, his butt was puffing up before it went back down only for his head to puff up only to get flat again before suddenly having a lot dynamite rope on his back, urging Tulip and the others to take cover.
"Everyone, run for cover!", Tulip shouted.
"This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!", Atticus shouted as he, Tulip, M.T., and Jesse took cover just before Alan Dracula exploded only to regenerate as the smoke cane together before quickly reforming back into Alan Dracula.
"Why are his powers going haywire?", Jesse asked.
"I think Alan Dracula's trying to kick Perry out.", Tulip guessed as Alan Dracula tried to get control back but failed for a time.
"Clearly, he's fighting it off like he's an infection.", Atticus spoke.
"And you're definitely getting bigger.", M.T. pointed to Perry, who was now presently bigger than before.
"Uh, okay, rude. I'm pretty sure I'm the same siiiiize!", Perry exclaimed before he suddenly grew bigger before uncontrollably shaking his head and getting lit up in flames for a second before Alan Dracula's head suddenly lurched our and bleated panickedly, relaying a message that he needs help before the head then went back towards Perry's head, making M.T. gasp in worry.
"Alan doesn't want this!", M.T. exclaimed.
"You have to let him go!", Jesse exclaimed.
"But you'll be stuck with a deer who doesn't listen to you.", Perry spoke as he was growing again.
"I don't care! At least that's the deer we all know and love. And I never really met him yet, so it's saying something.", Atticus retorted.
"Atticus is right. We don't like him because he listens. We like him because he's Alan Dracula!", Jesse agreed before Perry stepped on the cheese, prompting M.T. to dodge it.
"Whoa!", M.T. exclaimed.
"Okay, so maybe we both want the same thing: me out of Amblin Dunkula, but maybe I'm
a little stuck here, guys. I could use some help.", Perry urged before the leg tipped down an ice cream sundae staff, spilling it on the floor.
"How fast can you guys get to that flower car?", Jesse asked.
"What's the plan?", Tulip asked.
"Just before we came here, there are some flowers that made Alan Dracula sneezes if one of us can get those, we might be able to help Alan Dracula sneeze Perry out.", Jesse responded.
"That's...actually a good plan, now that I think about it.", Tulip grinned.
"Then, let's hurry.", Tulip's former reflection urged.
"Right. I'll stay with Jesse and see if I can help him on top of A.D.", Tulip nodded before M.T. then ran out to look for the flowers.
"Help me, Jiles and MD!", Perry shouted, straining from the pressure.
"So, uh, how are you gonna get me up there?", Jesse asked.
"Like this.", Tulip responded just before morphing back into her obese form, weighing 3,000 pounds this time, much to Jesse's bashful surprise.
"Uh..., why did you...?", Jesse puzzled.
"We'll talk more about it later. Now, bounce on my belly. It makes more sense than it sounds.", Tulip urged as she laid her back down on the ground before Jesse, puzzled as he was, did so and then clasped onto Alan Dracula's fur with his hands.
"Great work, Jesse.", Tulip grinned just before Perry in Alan Dracula's body grew big up to a point that his head popped out from the top of the pyramid with whipped cream and a cherry now on top of his head.
"Oh, boy! Hey, strong hands. You work out?", Perry asked as meanwhile, Jesse was now climbing Alan Dracula's legs as Atticus and Tulip watched inside the pyramid.
By that time, M.T. came back with the flowers from the flower car.
"Jesse! Here!", M.T. shouted as she crumpled the flower a bit before tossing it to Jesse, who placed the flower inside each the deer's nostril in order to make him sneeze before he started having a reaction.
"Ah...ah...achoo!", Perry sneezed, puffing our the ice before Perry then fell out of Alan Dracula, his bottom now covered in ice, and then landed on the ground near Atticus and Tulip before M.T. caught up in time to see Alan Dracula shrinking back to normal with Jesse on top of Alan Dracula's back before the deer split himself, getting Jesse off him again before coming back together as he got back up.
"Welcome back, Alan Dracula.", M.T. spoke, hugging Alan Dracula.
"Sorry we didn't get you out sooner.", Jesse added as he hugged the deer as well before Jesse then noticed his number going down to 11.
"Look at that. Alan Dracula got your number down.", M.T. grinned.
"That's really great, guys.", Tulip grinned before M.T. widened her eyes upon seeing her corpulent body.
"Okay, how did you get that big so fast?", M.T. exclaimed.
"Huh? Oh, this? I just learned how to alter my size recently just before you three came in. It's okay. I'm more used to this body now anyway.", Tulip assured.
"What? Since when?", Jesse puzzled.
"It's a long story.", Tulip responded.
Then, suddenly, Perry spoke up as he crawled as best he could.
"Wow! Great job, Jimmy. Kind of thanks to me, too, though, right? Now, whose mouth am I hopping in next?", Perry asked.
"Yeah, sorry, but you're not jumping into any more mouths today.", Tulip responded before she, M.T., Jesse, Alan Dracula, and Atticus started walking out toward the exit.
"Guys, guys! Aw, come on! I spent two years stuck in a succulent! Let me hop in one of your mouths!", Perry urged as Jesse opened the exit door before he, Tulip (who sucked in her gut this time seeing as she isn't going in last), M.T., and Atticus went through the exit, which then slowly closed in front of Perry before the knob then did a full 180-degree spin.
A/N: And there you have it. Looks like Tulip can alter her body size and weight at will now. This should be interesting. Oh, but wait, there's more. What if I were to tell you that there would be an actual AU, although similar to this one, where it would show what happens when Tulip decides to stay on the train, but without the weight gain fetish stuff? I call it "Infinity Train: The Road to Nowhere". Now, the release date isn't exactly known, yet, but I have made a fan poster for it on DeviantArt a couple months ago after watching Book 4 of Infinity Train. You should check it out sometime. That's right. From now on, "The All-You-Can-Eat Car" is an AU story for fun. That is all. :)
