Hilary then got a call from her friend Melinda who was trying to put a party together. Hilary agreed to come and as she was getting ready for the party she got an idea. It was a very good and very obvious idea, she wondered why she never thought of it before. Her friend Melinda was a very brainy girl. So brainy, in fact, that she made Einstien, Hawking, Newton, and all those other famous scientists of various fields look like those guys who keep walking and bumping into the same spot of wall. But she wasn't one of those bookworm, make everyone else feel inferior types. No, she was cool, she new what was in, how to act in a crowd, and never made everyone feel dumb. At least not directly, there were those who felt stupid around her just because they knew she was so smart. But those people were rare and always had a change of heart once they got to know her. Anyway, Hilary thought that if she could enlist Melinda's help, then there would be no end to the list of ways she could enlarge herself.
Once she arrived at the party she immediately sought out her friend. Soon she came upon her. Or at least her holographic representative. Melinda had done some weight alterations of her own, which horribly backfired. Her body became so messed up that she became unable to move. However, with her last bit of mobility she did manage to create a virtual body for herself which she then linked her mind to so that she would be able to move about.
After hearing Hilary's case, she agreed to help her out. She had been working on ways to correct her many weight potions, and she believed that she had succeeded with two.
"Let's go down to my lab and I'll show you what I've got." Melinda offered.
"That would be great!" Hilary replied excitedly.
Once they arrived Melinda went to her vauld to retrieve her samples. While she was gone Hilary sat on a nearby beanbag, which was very soft and comfortable, and looked around. She had been in Melinda's lab many times, and was always suprised by the myriad of stuff that was-
"Hey," she heard Melinda shout, "would you mind removing your posterior from my gut, please?"
Hilary became puzzled, but then turned her head to look behind her and immediately jumped off of what used to be Melinda. Her body was nearly spherical, with five indentations, one for each limb and her head. Those, plus it's color and texture were the only ways anybody could tell that it was a human body.
"Sorry, I keep forgetting. Your virtual self is just so real, in all ways, that I forget that it's just a patch of light."
"That's okay. Actually I sometimes sit on it myself, just as a reminder of what I've dome to myself. Anyway here are the weight potions I have succeeded with. The orange one on the right adjusts your metabolism so that all food you eat goes straight to fat. The green one on the left transforms you into a balloon of sorts, so that you can inflate yourself with fat. Now sometimes the body's normal process of transforming food into fat leave residue like cholesterol and heart trouble, so I added to the orange one a formula that will enable your body to deal with these and other problems that might arise. The green one doesn't have that, since fat on it's own is nothing. So, which way do you want to go?"
