It was another new day. Stella was in her bedroom, laying on her bed. Then, she heard Ethan tapping on her window...

Ethan: Good morning, Stella.

Stella: Good morning, Ethan.

Ethan then tried to climb in, but got himself stuck...

Ethan: Oh, crud.

Stella knew she was going to have to help pull her friend in with her arms. When she tried to pull him out, she noticed how hard this was going to be...

Stella: Ethan, what did you eat at that buffet?

Ethan: (thinks for a bit) A steak, baby back ribs, 2 pieces of fried chicken, a cheeseburger, 4 pieces of pepperoni, sausage, ham, and bacon, french fries, spaghetti and meatballs, a piece of garlic bread, apple slices, a banana, some grapes, 3 peanut butter, red velvet, and chocolate chip cookies, a big bowl of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookie dough, and mint chocolate chip ice cream, 3 triple chocolate brownies, and a bowl of chocolate pudding, and a large cup of grape soda. I ate the ice cream slowly and carefully, with a spoon.

Stella was shocked, and surprised that he would eat all of that in 1 night. She really hard to pull him in even harder. After a while, he finally popped inside, flew through the room, and landed on the floor. When Ethan got up, Stella took a good look at how fat he is now. He weighed over 300 pounds, similar to how Homer Simpson looked in the Simpsons episode 'King-Size Homer'. He had an incredibly wide girth, and was twice as wide as Stella. His clothes were so tight. His shirt only covered half his stomach, and his legs were thicker, and his behind was bigger. After looking more closely at him, Stella then realizes why it was so hard to pull him out of the window...

Stella: Ethan, do you parents ever even notice how big you are now?

Ethan: (thinks for a moment) To be fair, I don't remember, because my family hasn't said anything about it yet.

Stella: (surprised) Do you think you might be eating a bit too much?

Ethan: (a little shocked) Wow, I guess I'm just hungry a lot of the time.

Stella just shrugged it off, before Ethan replied, 'I'm feeling a bit hungry.' Stella then went to the kitchen because she was going to get a really big snack for him. A wheel of cheddar cheese, a whole chocolate cake, and 4 donuts. (2 bear claw, and 2 jelly-filled) Stella thought that if she gave Ethan a lot of food, he won't be hungry for a while. She got a huge tray to catch all of the food on, and said, 'I hope this will be enough.' Stella went back to her room, with the tray of food. Ethan was very happy...

Ethan: Thank you, Stella.

Stella: You're welcome, Ethan.

First, Ethan had the wheel of cheddar cheese, and he took small bites to enjoy the taste of it. Next, he had the 4 doughnuts, and again, he ate slowly to enjoy the taste. Finally, he grabbed the cake, broke it apart with both hands and chewed it slowly, to savior the taste of it. Stella was amused, and said to herself, 'He's learning to eat better.'

Ethan had finished his food, but he's now even fatter, and his face was messy from chocolate, cream, and jelly stains. It was on the top of his shirt as well. He was sitting down on a soft chair, because he had to settle down, after all the food he had.

He had gained another 25 pounds. His waist was bigger, and his stomach was fully exposed. Stella was stunned, and said, 'I can't believe it!' after she saw how much more weight he gained...

Ethan: (with a sheepish look) I guess I must have been really hungry.

Stella nods, and says, 'I'm sure you were.'

Ethan: Thank you for the meal, Stella.

Stella: You're welcome, Ethan. Even though you've got an out-of-control appetite, I'm still glad we met.

Ethan then gave Stella a hug. Because he was heavier, Stella struggled to hold him up while she had to lean back a bit, to prevent herself from falling.

Ethan: Well, my clothes are beginning to feel tight on me right now.

Stella: Let me get a new set of clothes for you.

After searching in her bedroom drawer for a bit, she found a bigger blue short-sleeved shirt, and bigger red shorts. Ethan went in the bedroom to change into them. When he came out dressed in them, he said, 'These are a little tight, but not as tight as my old ones.'

Stella: Yes, they're a little bit bigger.

The clothes Ethan was wearing now was stretchy and skin-tight.

Ethan: I better get going. Goodbye, Stella.

Ethan held out his hand for Stella to shake. Stella shook it, and found out that she had a little chocolate on it...

Stella: Ethan, did you wash your hands before you put those new clothes on?

Ethan: (a little embarrassed) Oops. I forgot.

Stella saw a box of tissue paper on the dresser. She got a tissue from it, and then cleaned off the chocolate from her hand from it. Ethan went over to the window, and said to her, 'Thank you for the huge meal.'

Stella: You're welcome.

Ethan felt his face, and found out that he still had a bit of chocolate on his face. He rubbed it on his hand, then licked it up. Then he tried to squeeze through the window, only to find out that he's stuck really tight. When Ethan realized this, he pushed on the wall outside. But after a while of doing it, he gave up...

Ethan: Okay, I'm stuck!

Stella went to his lower half, and she was shocked at this situation. Ethan was kicking his legs in frustration...

Stella: Ethan, please calm down!

When Ethan stopped kicking, Stella tried to push him out with her hands...

Stella: This comes from eating too much food.

Ethan: The window's so small!

Stella continued trying to get Ethan out. When she touched Ethan's behind, it felt squishy to her. She tried another way to push him out, using her left hand and right shoulder this time. A little roll of fat had pressed up toward the window. But after a little more pushing, she gives up, too...

Stella: Ethan, you're really stuck in there!'

She then ran outside to where Ethan's front half was...

Stella: Are you okay?

Ethan: I'm fine.

Stella: I'm gonna go get help!

She went to where Ethan lived, where she saw that his sister, Marlene was there, reading outside...

Marlene: (puts her book down) Hello, can I help you?

Stella: Yes. I'm Stella, Ethan's friend.

Marlene: I'm Marlene. Ethan has told me about you.

Stella: Marlene, Ethan got himself stuck in my bedroom window, and I can't push him out!

Marlene: (shocked) Okay, why would Ethan go out the window like that?

Stella: He does it because his house is closer that way.

They both walked to Stella's house, where both girls saw Ethan, still stuck to the window. Marlene was more shocked...

Ethan: (waving) Hi, Marlene!

Marlene calmly said to her brother, 'Ethan, I keep telling you to watch your weight.'

Ethan: I'm trying to, but I'm just hungry all the time.

Marlene: (sighs) Alright, Ethan, give me your hands.

Marlene took Ethan's hands, and Stella helped out by pulling the back of Marlene's dress. Even though they both pulled together really hard, he still didn't budge. After a while, they gave up...

Marlene: It's no use.

Stella: I know.

At that moment, Ethan had something to say...

Ethan: I have an idea! Could one of you pull me outside, and the other would push me inside?

The two girls looked at each other...

Stella: Ethan, that's a great idea!

Marlene: Let's try it!

Stella: Marlene, why don't you try pulling him outside?

Marlene: (nods) And Stella, you can push him from inside your house.

Stella then ran back into her house to Ethan's behind, but his legs were still. Marlene grabbed onto Ethan's arms outside.

Stella: (from inside her house) This doesn't look good. (calls out to Marlene) I hope this works.

Stella pushed Ethan with one arm and her other shoulder from inside her house, and Marlene pulled on Ethan's arm from outside. They pulled and pushed together very hard for a good while, but he didn't budge. Stella slumped onto Ethan's behind, sighed, and said, 'I don't think we're ever gonna get him out of there'.

The two girls didn't know what to do. Ethan felt very sad that he remained stuck...

Ethan: I'm going to be stuck here forever.

Marlene: Don't worry, Ethan, you won't.

Stella: I stay here to keep you company, while Marlene finds someone else to help us.

Stella went outside her house to get a coloring book and some crayons. When she returned, Marlene then ran off to get help. Stella brought out a Toy Story coloring book and some crayons, and they each colored pictures of the characters of Toy Story from the coloring book. After they each colored a few pictures together, Marlene came back with Beatrix Yates, the oldest child of the Yates family...

Marlene: I brought help.

Beatrix: I'm Beatrix Yates.

Beatrix sees Ethan stuck in the window, and had a shocked look on her face...

Beatrix: What exactly were you thinking by going out through the window?

Ethan: Do I really have to answer that?

Beatrix: Yes, because people usually go out by doors.

Ethan: My house is closer on this side!

Beatrix: But if you're gaining more weight, maybe you should just use the safer way to leave.

Ethan stuck out his tongue at Beatrix, because he didn't like other people telling him what to do.

Stella: We should try again to get Ethan out of the window.

The three girls then got ready to put him out. Outside, Marlene and Beatrix each grabbed one of Ethan's arms, and tried to pull him out. From inside her house, Stella tried to push him out with her hands. Even with three people pulling and pushing together, they still couldn't get him out, and after a while, they gave up...

Beatrix: (to Stella and Marlene) Does he think about how he'll keep getting stuck in the window if he continues to eat more food than he can hold?

Ethan: I believe I don't know when that'll ever happen!

The three girls looked at each other, and Marlene said, 'He's definitely gonna stay stuck for a while.' Stella and Beatrix nodded in agreement. They didn't know what to do...
