The next day, Phoebe awoke to the heavy smell of fast food around her. For a moment she thought she was dreaming, but as she saw her sister Reagan lying against the door, she remembered what she had done yesterday. At the moment, she was still steadfast on her idea, but looking down at the cheap breakfast meals that her sister had gotten…
“Isn’t this… a bit much?”
“Wow, not even a ‘good morning’? Just straight into the food? I know you meant things differently but if your first thought waking up was about this food, then that’s part of the attitude aspect already solved.”
“Attitude aspect?” Phoebe said, very much confused at what Reagan just said. “Wait, is this all psychological?”
“Oh, only minorly.” Reagan admitted, before moving a bit to reveal two containers to her left, one big enough for her to use as a chair, and one small enough to where she could hold it with one hand. “Mostly you're going to be ingesting these. Speaking of which, before I say any more, have some coffee.”
Turning her attention to the cup of coffee on her bed stand, Phoebe hesitated for a bit, before drinking a bit of the hot stuff. It was just how Phoebe liked it, with a very sweet kick that came from the two sugars and one milk mixed into it.
“Good, now I can explain the appetite stimulants you just ingested without you having second thoughts.”
“Wait, what!?”
“Relax, relax. It’s all part of the plan….” Placing a hand on her sister’s shoulder, Reagan helped her calm down a bit before continuing on. “What you just ingested are appetite stimulants, specifically ones that Uma used to use back during her workout days. Had to be real careful about getting them without her noticing, but they sure pack one hell of a punch…”
“Appetite stimulants… that’s the things that make people really hungry, right?” As if on cue, Phoebe’s stomach let out a small grumble, perhaps as a omen of what was to come. “What does that mean for me?”
“It means that your going to feel so hungry, that your going to have only one thing on your mind, and that’s food. Speaking of good, that’s where this other thing comes in.”
Taking a hand to the bigger container’s lid, Reagan twisted it open, before bringing up a spoonful of a white powder, before swallowing it. “This… is gaining powder, bought from the grocery store. This is primarily used for building muscle… however if ingested without rigorous exercise it makes for a great excess of calories. Doesn’t even got a taste either, meaning you can mix it with pretty much anything to make it that much more calorie-heavy.”
“Wow… you sound like you’ve known about all of this for a while…” Phoebe said nervously, still looking at her coffee. “I guess that was in the coffee too?”
“Nah, from what I’ve felt, it only really works in milks and not other liquids. Instead, I’ve applied it to every physical morsel on that bed. Now, you aren’t going to finish all that in a single sitting I’m afraid. Even with those stimulants… your stomach just isn’t big enough to hold it all. However, as you keep pushing yourself more and more… eventually you’ll be able to stomach all of this.”
“So… I gotta build myself up physically too?” Still a bit confused, Phoebe raised up a hand as the other went to grab a wrapped breakfast sandwich, unwrapping it and taking a single bite into the powder-laden meal. “I thought gaining weight was all about just being lazy and eating very unhealthy food? I didn’t know all of this went into gaining so hardly…”
“Well this is for gaining weight really fast specifically.” Reagan pointed out, as she closed the lid and swallowed the spoonful of powder. “You could just wait around and eat unhealthily and do little exercise, but that sort of gaining is way too slow, at least for what your boss wants. This way however ensures that by the end of the day, your putting on at least one pound. Perhaps even two if we’re lucky!”
“A pound a day… that’s still 50 days in that suit most likely…” Sighing a bit in relief, Phoebe finished up the sandwich and threw the balled up wrapper in her waste basket before nodding. “But if that’s the fastest we can get this done with, then I’m willing to go the distance.”
Coincidentally, that’s when the appetite stimulants fully kicked in, and the younger Durant felt a huge rumble in her gut. It was as if she hadn’t ate in over a day, and while she knew what was going to happen in advance thanks to Reagan’s advice, Phoebe still felt a insatiable hunger that she needed to fill. Thankfully there was food still around for her to try.”
“I’ll see myself out for now, just let me know when your ready for your next meal and I’ll pull out all the stops once more.”
With a smile on her face, Reagan walked out the door, leaving her older sister to gorge herself on the feast she left for her. Since the breakfast sandwiches were only half as big as the quarter pounders that Kate had served her last night, Phoebe was able to fit more of them down her gut, something she greatly appreciated as she continued to dig in. She even delved into the sides left by them, including some amazing hash browns and delicious eggs.
However, as predicted by her younger and seemingly more experienced sister, Phoebe hit her limit only halfway through the feast, before slumping on the side of her bed with a overly stuffed gut. Much like yesterday, she felt filled to the brim, but this time it was of her own accord… well, not quite her own accord but still at the very least from her own effort.
As she sat down and relaxed her belly though, Phoebe got a call from Fiore.
“Hey Pheebs, can you possibly come here tomorrow night? It’s not for a extra photo shoot, we just need a few extra hands in helping carry out some huge machinery for a upcoming Winter Catalog. I promise, once we’re all done with moving it out I’ll take you to the best place you will have ever eaten at!”
“Best place in town?” Phoebe said, smiling a bit as she let out a small and subdued burp. “What perchance is this place you talk so highly about?”
“It’s a hour’s drive to get there, but there’s this amazing restaurant called Henhouse Kitchen down in Trussel! It’s got the best brunch offerings I’ve ever seen, and has a special challenge that I think would really help for all that gaining you need to do! What do you say?”
Although the sound of even more food was a bit nauseating for Phoebe at first, upon remembering that this was all for tomorrow and that this was all for her not having to wear such a weird suit anymore, Phoebe reluctantly agreed. “I think I’d definitely like to try this new place out then, though I don’t think I have the stomach capacity for a full on challenge.”
“Oh you won’t be the only one eating it, I’ll take a part too! Oh, gotta go, looks like Clive’s just arrived! See ya!”
Before Phoebe could even respond to ask what Fiore even meant about taking a part, the heavyset boss already hung up. At the very least, she now had plans for tomorrow, and with that she knew she had to get ready. Thankfully, since she didn’t have any photo shoots today, she could use the time to rest and relax, and hopefully digest all of this food…
Something which was definitely required, as downstairs Reagan got ready for lunch.
“Hey is this Pizza Rock? Yeah, this is Reagan. I’m gonna need three pizzas of your largest size. Two meat lovers with garlic butter sides already poured over them, and one Hawaiian. Oh, and can I get extra breadsticks with that?”
