Well, the one reasonable choice seemed, to her, to call Mako-chan. She loved cooking, so surely she, of all people, would know how to help her with loosing the extra pounds that had accumulated. Turning to Rei, the raven haired Japanese beauty that she was, the blue haired Ami asked, curiously, "Do you think it's a good idea I ask Mako-chan for help?"
Rei considered this. "Can't hurt, can it?"
"Guess you're right."
Ami dialed the phone, hoping that she wasn't intruding on something Mako-chan was doing. Thankfully, after two rings, Mako-chan's voice rang through Ami's ear. "Hello?"
"Mako-chan?"
"Ami? What's wrong? You sound a little upset."
"Well, you see, I have a small little problem," Ami replied, "I've gained a little weight."
"Oh, I see. So do you want me to help you exercise?"
Ami had forgotten entirely that Mako-chan was a martial artist and athlete. The big girl would surely help Ami out in more ways than one. Regardless, Ami replied, "That might help too, but I was actually calling to ask you about dietary help. I don't want to resort to an unhealthy diet, but I know that I need to lose weight. Is it possible I can stop by later, or maybe over the course of this month every so often so that you could cook something, uh--I'm intruding on you, aren't I?" Ami asked, blushing deep scarlet.
Mako-chan laughed. "No, actually, I'd be happy to help you out! Like, really, really happy! Please, do you want me to come to you, or you to come to me? Which is more convenient?"
"I'll go to you! I'm already intruding enough! Any more would be too much! Thank you so much!"
"It's not a problem. See you in, what, an hour?"
"An hour sounds wonderful! Thanks again!"

Rei had stayed for the next half-hour before finally leaving, stating how she was happy Ami was actually concerned with her weight as opposed to that stupid meatball head who was essentially fattening herself like a calf for market. After seeing Rei's back, Ami darted up the stairs, noting how her body jiggled slightly with every step. She was surprised. This wasn't something she was accustomed to. It actually felt a little strange for her. Maybe even pleasurable?
No! She mustn't think that way!
She walked into the bathroom, and removed her clothing. She took a closer look at her body in the mirror. Really, she wasn't chubby at all, just pudgier. It was clear she had gained weight. Her slender waist was now spilling outward, her hips had thickened, her legs had grown a soft layer of chub over them, and her arms and hands were following the same path. Her face had changed slightly as well, but it looked rather similar to her ordinary face.
As she started the water, she considered the way she looked. She wasn't unattractive any more, per say, was she? Fat wasn't attractive! Who was she kidding? Still, the voice in the back of her head that this body of hers wasn't so bad kept shouting at the top of its lungs. What a bother!
