This is the first of my many "Christmas Gifts" of the year.

This is a LPS Weight Gain story starring Russell the Hedgehog, and you could (if you want) call this a present to my two friends  pokemonking2000 and  Boltfox since they are both Littlest Pet Shop fans.

The icon is an image made by  marx50 and here's the link. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14794026/

Littlest Pet Shop belongs to Hasbro.

So after the events of the season 2 final where Russell became the main star for "The International Pet Fashion Expo" everything goes great for Blythe and the pets.

Her fashion designs are a huge success and Russell is the thing everyone likes to talk about.

It doesn't take long after the event when Blythe gets a phone call from Mona Autumn (CEO of Tres Blasé magazine) telling her that she wants Blythe to put up a brand new cloth line that will be the head line for the new issue of the magazine, and she wants Russell to once again be the poster boy for it.

After the phone call Blythe immediately got onto her way to make all the new clothes for the fashion line, and after last time Russell had gotten a taste for being a model so he was all aboard to do this.

After some weeks of making clothes and rehearsing Blythe and Russell made their way to the Tres Blasé's headquarter, but they weren't the only ones.

Just outside the entrance there was two other girls with their pets on their way in that Blythe knew all to well. "The Biskit Twins" she said upset over seeing them.

"Oh look Whittany, it's like Blythe." The first on of the Twins said to her sister, who simply replied "And she has that, what do you call it? Porcupine thing."

"Excuse me but Russell is no porcupine, he's a hedgehog!" Blythe said back to them, before asking "Why are you two even here?"

"We got like, a call from somebody that had seen us walking with Cashmere and Velvet." Whittany said while holding up her pet chinchilla, before having her sister fill in with "And they said something along the lines of Your pets are just the thing we want for a shoot for our magazine. or something." "Like, why wouldn't they be there? They have the true talent for it." Whittany said, before Brittany once again took over by saying "Much more nicer to look at then that Thing you somehow managed to get to the newspaper."

"So you two are also here to do a photo shoot that will be publish as the main article for the next issue?" Blythe asked mockingly, seeing that it was the thing that made burst the Biskit Twins big ego balloon. "No." They finally said, and walked in to get away from Blythe.

"Wasn't that a little bit rude of you to say?" Russell asked, as they to made their way into the building. "Maybe a little, but the looks on their faces was totally worth it." Blythe answered. "You don't think that such behaviour on your parts can lead to any bad consequences in the future?" Russell asked, sounding slightly nervous. "Take it easy Russell, it's the Biskit Twin's we are talking about here. What's the worst they can do?" Blythe asked, as they made their way to Mona's office.

As they took an elevator up to the office the Biskit Twins looked on from around a corner. "That Blythe isn't like, a little bit saucy?" Whittany asked, with Brittany answering "I know. Just because that hedgehog she has happen to become the star that one time." And not only the Biskit Twins themselves but also Cashmere and Velvet where in a rage over Blythe and more exactly Russell's success.

While their owners where all to familiar to Blythe and Russell the two chinchillas knew that the hedgehog had never really seen them before, so that would give them the elements of surprise for when they would do their revenge plan against him.

So while their owners where to busy taking out their anger over Blythe on angry Facebook and Twitter messages the twin chinchillas decided to take of and find the hedgehog on their own. They ran back to the place where Blythe and Russell had been taking the elevator from early. The place also had a reception desk, and the chinchillas took and hide under it while thinking out a plan.

"So like, where are we suppose to go to find him?" Cashmere asked, in way that really made her sound like her owner. Just at that moment a man driving a food trolley came by and asked the receptionist for "where he was suppose to go to leave all the food that was for the girl and her hedgehog?".

"Looks like we found our ride to our goal." Velvet said, as they both ran out from their hiding place and instead hide under the sheet covering the trolley.

After being told where to go the man went to the elevator with the trolley, and made his way to his destination. Under the sheet the two chinchillas where planning over what the next part of their plan would be.

"So like, when we get there, what happens next?" Cashmere asked her twin sister, who in return gave a look of a typical movie bad guy planning on tell the trapped hero his/hers evil plan.

"Once we get there we need to find a way to get Blythe out of the picture, (or rather out of the room.) so we can focus entirely on the hedgehog. When it's only him and us there will be the perfect time to take care of him." Velvet said.

"And just how will we take care of him?" Cashmere asked, feeling a bit annoyed by the long wait it took for her twin to say it.

"Think about it. What kind of way would be the perfect one to completely humiliate this fashion modelling wannabe?" Velvet asked her sister, who still looked as clueless as ever before.

"Let me give you a clue." She said before pointing her paw to all the food related things filling up the three level high trolley. "It has something to do with food." She added.

Cashmere really looked like she was getting something out of it. Her face was making grimacing, she made grumpy noises of her struggles to think hard, and when she finally looked like she was about to get it she said "I have no idea."

After face palming herself Velvet decided to be as clear as possible. "We are going to feed the hedgehog as much of all this food as possible so that he can't even fit the clothes he's suppose to wear!"

"Oh! I get it now." Cashmere said after few second of imagine it in front of her. (Making Velvet roll her eyes over her sisters slight air headedness.)

"But how will we make him eat all of it?" Cashmere suddenly asked, thinking it was a huge problem to their plans. But she could see in her sister's calm persona that she had thought about that.

"Well, we have two choices." She started, making her twin look very intrigued.

"First one is that we simply tie him up and force-feed him until he can't fit anymore food inside of him." Velvet said before pausing.

"And what's the other one?" Cashmere asked very excited.

"The other one is that you and me bring the Lady Charm, and convinces him to have a few bites before his big break." Velvet said while trying to look really seductive to her sister.

"Oh, you naughty girl." Cashmere said, blushing a little over the thought of making the hedgehog boy fall for their charms.

"And I want you to decided with one of the plans we will go with." Velvet then told her sister, who got really surprised by the sudden task.

"Oh! I don't know. They are both sounds like very fun things to do towards that hedgehog." She said, trying to decided.

"Lets do the charm plan." Cashmere finally said, sounding pretty excited over to do it.

"Good choice sis." Velvet said, as the two of them suddenly felt the whole trolley stop.

"Room number 19, must be here she is." The guy said to himself, as he knock on the door.

Blythe came out opening it, and looked happy to see the guy.

"Great, you're here!" She said.

"Have you been waiting long for me?" The guy asked as he drove in the trolley.

"No, but my hedgehog has. He's been starting to get very hungry." Blythe said and pointed at Russell, sitting in a big sofa rubbing his very hungry stomach.

"Is there anything special you want from it?" The guy asked as he showed Blythe all the treats being on top of it. "There is also more stuff on the second and third platform under the sheet." The guy added.

Looking at it Blythe could see that there was really a lot to choose from. From small little cookies and candies, to triangle shaped sandwiches, to some fruits and berries. "And he also said that there was even more under the sheet." Blythe thought, as she a hard time knowing what Russell would like out of it.

Blythe looked over at Russell to ask him if there was anything special he would want to eat, but as she did so she was treated to the saddest, most begging eyes of any pet she had ever seen. Russell's hunger pain had just gone to the next level and he just wanted to eat something, it didn't matter what.

Seeing this Blythe turned back to the guy and said "I think I keep the whole trolley for now."

The guy was first a bit surprised by the little girl's request, and seeing this Blythe added "He wont eat it all. You can just come back later and take away everything he didn't eat."

The guy just accepted Blythe's offer and leaved the trolley in the room as he left. Seeing how incredibly starving her hedgehog friend was Blythe took a cheese and ham sandwich, and was about to feed him when Phoebe (Mona Autumn's overly stressed assistance) suddenly entered the room.

"Blythe! I need you quickly!" She said in her typical stressful and nervous manners.

"What is it?" Blythe asked.

"It's Mona. She did some last minute changes to the photo shoot, and need you to go through those changes with her." Phoebe quickly answered.

"And what changes is that?" Blythe asked.

"A bunch of stuff. The lighting's for the shot, the theme for the clothes, how many different outfits to show. I can also give you a written list if you need to." Phoebe said, and pulled out a five foot long list of the changes that Mona had made for the act.

"Do I need to have Russell with me for this?" Blythe asked, seeing that it would be very bad for Russell to sit in a meeting for so long without having to eat anything.

"No, no pets. This thing is something only you is needed for." Phoebe quickly answered.

"Could this wait for a moment? I need to feed Russell." Blythe pleaded.

"No. Sorry. We need to go now." Phoebe said, and took Blythe arm and started dragging her out the room.

Blythe put the sandwich back on the trolley and said to Russell "Can you take care of your own feeding?" Russell simply answered back with a nod, and seeing that Blythe took and cooperated with Phoebe as they both went out door and closed it.

Now Russell was all by himself with more food then he could ever dream of, that he would be able to have all for himself. Or at least that's what he thought before suddenly the two chinchillas jumped out from under the cloth.

"Who are you two?!" Russell asked, being very surprised by the sudden company he now had.

"Oh, we? We are Cash..." Cashmere said before her twin sister stopped her and took over.

"We are just two young Chinchilla girls, that wanted to have a chance to meet a real pet fashion icon in real life." She said, while acting like a stereotypical "valley girl".

"Oh, well I'm sure Blythe doesn't mind me having a little company in my loge." Russell said, feeling like a really hot model, even having his own groupies getting into his loge.

While Russell was still taking in the fact that he might be that popular, Cashmere leant over to Velvet to ask "Why are you like, acting so strange?".

"I'm acting the way I do because if he thinks he's a real ladies man, he will be much more easier to manipulate." Velvet explained.

"Okay, I see." Cashmere said, before she decided to walk over Russell to try it out herself.

"How would you like if we two took and like, stuffed you so much so you couldn't even move afterwards?" Cashmere asked, sounding even more "stupid" then her sister had.

"Excuse me what?" Russell asked confused, and Velvet was quick in trying to save the plan from failing from Cashmere's lack of subtlety.

"What my sister means is that an attractive hedgehog like yourself shouldn't need to have to do simple stuff like picking up the food to eat, when he can have two loving fans to do it for him?" She said, truing to sound and act as flirty as possible for him. (Doing things like stroking him stomach with her paw.)

This whole thing really started to make Russell feel very "light-headed", and he could only see logic in everything she said. "Of course I should let you two do it for me, when you want it so much." He said, starting to like more and more where this was going.

"Okay. You just lay down in your big comfy sofa, and we will serve you greatly." Velvet said, winking at Russell.

Getting himself comfy Russell took and saw how the two Chinchillas very quickly climbed up the side of the trolley and came down with the food that was on the top floor. "Good thing they where here. I don't know how I would have done to reach that." Russell thought, as his food as arriving to him.

On top of the Trolley was like mentioned before Cookies, Candies, Sandwiches, Fruits, and Berries. And the two Chinchilla twins decided to start with the fruits and berries to warm up the hedgehog's appetite.

"Would you please open your mouth so we can feed you?" Both Chinchillas asked in harmony. (Almost sounding like a hypnotic rant from two sirens.)

Being lost in their lovely voices Russell took and left his mouth hanging open, making it easy for Cashmere and Velvet to stuff it with Blueberries, Strawberries, Grapes, and even a few pieces of Apples and Bananas.

Once nothing more could be filled he started to work on chewing and swallow his food. This proved to be slightly difficulty (Given how much he had been taking into himself at the same time.), but after a few powerful chews Russell had managed to make some of it soft enough to send it down to his stomach. And once that was done he could chew and swallow the rest of it much easier. As for the next rounds of fruits and berries (Which this time consisted of pineapple and melon slices, and Raspberries and cherries.) he simply asked to get feed smaller portions at a time and then he could get it all down with no problems.

After the juicy start of his feast, the twin Chinchillas started to hand over the triangle shaped sandwiches. These things where a bit bigger then the slices of fruits he had earlier, (One sandwich being about the size of a whole apple.) but he could still feel his stomach having some empty room left so he continued.

These sandwiches where even more tastier then the fruit from before, coming in tastes like..."Olives and Salad", "Eggs and Caviar", "Cheese and Ham" and so on. As he ate the space in his stomach was quickly starting to get filled. He knew that as a hedgehog he was able to keep himself stuffed with lots of food in order for hibernation to winter, but since he was a pet he had never been in need to prepare himself for that and therefore never really tried to reach his limits, until now. Looking down he could start to see his stomach grow out a few inches as he was finishing down another sandwich. "I might have to reconsider going on a diet after this." He thought to himself.

Once he had gulped down all the sandwiches there was, there was only the small cookies and candy left for him. "Good thing too, cause I start to feel like I have reached my limits." Russell thought, as he clutched his stomach that was now standing out one or two feet. Since the cookies and candies was much smaller then the sandwiches it went down with little problems, but for as long as it went on the more painful his stomach felt. "Good thing this is almost over." He thought as he got the last candy pieces feed to him.

Once it was all eaten he once again held tightly onto his very stuffed gut, and started rubbing it to make it feel better. Suddenly he felt a shadow covering his light, and looking up he saw that it was the two Chinchillas looking down on him.

"Thank you so much for everything you've done for me, but I think I need to rest now." He said as nicely as he could.

"Don't tell me your feeling finished already?" Velvet said, pretending to sound chocked over it.

"Now when we have only started." Cashmere added.

"Started?" Russell asked confused.

"Yes. There is more food waiting for you under the sheet of the trolley." Velvet said, pointing towards the food treasure that it was.

"Much, much more." Cashmere said, trying to sound really dramatic like her sister.

Russell didn't know what to do right now. On one hand he had these two beautiful ladies wanting to hand feed him everything he wants, but on the other he felt like he wouldn't be able to eat much more. There was only so much he could take before it would start to hurt for real, but seeing their pleading eyes was also pretty hard to ignore.

Their charm got the better of him as he said "Can I have some more please?"

Being quick to the point Cashmere and Velvet went over to the Trolley, and seeing that everything from the top floor was taken they decided to start going for the "Bigger stuff".

"Let's see what's await under here?" Velvet said as she reached under and pulled out a plate with spaghetti and meatballs, and Cashmere pulled out a bowl of tomato soup.

Both of these things where much larger then anything he had been eating before, and Russell felt that he wouldn't barley be able to eat even one of those things. Yet they both also where still very warm and smelled absolutely wonderful. Having to say no to them would be such a mistake.

"Is something wrong, my dear?" Velvet asked Russell, who forgot that he had lost himself in his thoughts for the moment.

"I'm fine. I just...I just don't know if I can take it all in. It is a lot after all." He said.

"But who said you need to eat everything? You can just settle with one bite." Velvet said, making Cashmere confused.

"One bite? But weren't we trying to make him really stuffed?..." She asked before getting a angry look from her sister to tell her to be quiet.

"I have a plan for that." She whispered to her twin before going back to Russell.

"I think I could take one bite of that Spaghetti and Meatballs dish." Russell said, licking his lips in anticipation.

"Just give me a few seconds." Velvet said, and turned her back to Russell to "fix" her dish up a little. Once she was done she turned back, but now with the loose end of a piece of spaghetti in her paw. "I thought that you could just put this one in your mouth, and then just slurp the whole part of it in. Doing that wont require you to chew once." She said.

Russell had to agree that just slurping up and swallow one small piece of spaghetti would work well as a way to taste it, and it wouldn't be any problem having some small room left for it in his stomach. But what he hadn't counted on was that Velvet (while having her back turned against him) had taken and knotted all the pieces of spaghetti into one long string. He was going to take it all in, one way or another. (Plus she had also tied around the meatballs.)

Taking the small end of spaghetti into his mouth, Russell started to slurp it down. He wasn't doing anything but swallowing, but the thing was touching his tongue as it went down his throat, so he had some chances to taste it. "Small but satisfying." He thought as he swallowed, and swallowed, and swallowed...

It wasn't until he had been swallowing for 20 seconds straight when he thought that something wasn't right. Looking down he could see what looked like a long rope of pasta with no clear end in sight. He wanted to just pull it out of his mouth, but given how much had already been taking in by him that would be an impossibility. He just had admit that he was tricked and had to finish it, whether he liked it or not.

As he swallowed he felt that it wasn't all bad. It was after all just spaghetti. He was pretty stuffed, but he could probably fit that in too without any problems. That's when he felt something larger then a spaghetti straw entering his mouth. It turned out to be one of the meatballs. It was very big, and his jaws couldn't move with it blocking up the room. So he had to just swallow it like everything else. Russell could feel it making a huge lump in his neck, (And later how it entered his already bloated stomach.) and he know he had at least 8 more of those to eat.

He continued this process of swallowing whole spaghetti and meatballs until he had nothing at all left on the plate that it used to be on. Once done he clamed his stomach feeling REALLY full now. It felt painful and was so big and round. It was almost like a hibernation for a decade that he had in there, and there where still something left to eat.

"Don't forget about your soup." Cashmere said delightful, as she walked up to him with the big bowl of soup.

He really didn't want to have more but he didn't want to come of as rude either, so when looking at the chinchilla lady all Russell could say was..."I have no spoon."

It sounded stupid when he said it, but it made some sense inside his head. You need a spoon to eat soup. No spoon, no soup right?

Wrong! Almost immediately after saying that Velvet gave a whistle, and showed Russell and Cashmere a funnel she had found under the sheet of the trolley. "Looks like we have found something that could substitute for a spoon." She said, in an almost diabolical way.

Russell gulped a little as he now realised he had to even eat the soup. He could try to just simply get up and run away, but being feed so much really made him feel so weak and tired. It was hard even lifting his stubby arms.

With little to no resistance Russell got the funnel shoved into his mouth, and the twin chinchillas both helped out lifting the heavy bowl over their head and aiming for the wide open part of the funnel.

"Open wide, and prepare to eat." Cashmere said playfully, before they started poring the dish right into the hole.

This was even more of a torture to Russell then the spaghetti one was. The soup itself was tasty to eat (And also very warm relaxing.), but after already feeling like there was almost no room left inside of him this dish here was making sure to fill him up properly. Letting the liquid soup take up those little empty spaces that could be found that no solid food pieces could fit.

Unlike the spaghetti process where he could eat at his own pace, Russell now had to constantly swallow at all time to not risk getting anything of the soup in the wrong throat. He also this time got less of a chance to taste, (given the stress he felt eating.) but from what he did taste it was pretty decent.

After three minutes of none stop soup eating the bowl was empty. and Russell was more full then ever. Now his stomach was so round and swelled as it could possibly be, and he felt like he could almost explode if he got something more to eat.

"Please no more." He begged his two feeders, who really took their time admiring their work so far.

"What do you say Cashmere? Should we stop or feed him more?" Velvet asked her sister, who replied "Well, we have one more level of trolley that we still haven't used yet. So maybe?"

There where about to continue their torture when they heard the sound of the door getting opened. As quickly as they could they ran back to the trolley and hide under the sheet again.

As soon as they got hidden Blythe and the trolley guy returned to the room, only to both stop in shock of what they saw. All over the floor was crumbs from cookies and sandwiches and empty plates and bowls. And also a very, very stuffed hedgehog.

"Russell?!" Blythe asked, shocked over seeing her friend in this state. She immediately ran over to comfort him, seeing he wasn't feeling very well.

"Blimey! That porcupine thing ate almost everything on my trolley." The guy said as he took and placed the plates and bowls on the top of it.

Blythe was about to correct him once again on Russell being a hedgehog and not a porcupine, but he was in such need of help from her that she let it pass this time.

Seeing that the centre of pain for Russell laid in his stomach Blythe decided to try and ease it by giving him a belly rub. She hoped that rubbing and massaging his gut would make it feel better, and it seemed to work. Russell started to feel more relaxed, and the hardness of the food inside started to get softer as well.

"Who did this to you?" She asked him, hoping he could answer her. But Russell was very weak from all the eating and he tried to show Blythe by pointing towards the trolley where Cashmere and Velvet was hiding, but as he did the guy in charge of it had started rolling it out, and when Blythe herself turned around to look the trolley had already left the room and the guy had closed the door.

"Listen Russell, no matter who did this to you it has to wait. What's important now is that we try and do something about this." Blythe said, and poked a finger into the very fat belly of Russell, who blushed a little over how much of "chubby guy" he was now.

If they would want this to still work Blythe and Russell knew they needed to think out a plan, and fast.

But they didn't have time to do anything until the door open again, and this time it was Phoebe once again looking very stressed.

"Blythe! A change of plans has happen again, and we need you both for the photo shoot now!" She said, not seeming to notice the food mess on the floor.

"But Russell's..." Blythe said, before getting dragged away again. (This time with the well rounded Russell in her hands.)

"No time! We need to go and get it done now!" Phoebe said, ignoring Blythe trying to show her how Russell looks like.

While that was going on Cashmere and Velvet was making their way back to their owners.

"Wow, that went even better then I could ever imagine." Cashmere said as they rushed through the corridors to where they left their owners.

"I know. All we needed was a little bit of a female charm, and then we had him eating out of our hands. Literally!" Velvet said, and laughed a little at her own joke.

As they saw Brittany and Whittany still sitting there with their cell phones, they knew that they just needed to return to their cage to make it look like they had never left in the first place. They rushed in and closed the door, and the sound of them closing it was the first thing that got one of the twins to look away from her phone for a moment. Looking down she just saw their two pets, looking like they where a bit restless.

"Whittany! Cashmere and Velvet looks a bit bored." Brittany said to her sister, that first now also looked up from her cell phone.

"I can understand them. I'm that too." She said, sighing over how long time they had been sitting here waiting for their turn.

"Don't worry sweeties. We will probably get to do our thing in like, any second now." Brittany said to the two chinchillas nicely.

"You sound very like, soft sister." Whittany said.

"I can't help it. Having these two beautiful things as our pets makes me feel so warm inside." Brittany said, sticking in a finger in the cage to feel the chinchillas soft fur."

Right at that moment Phoebe came rushing towards them, telling them to come and have their photo shoot now.

"Like, finally!" Brittany said, taking the cage with the chinchillas with her as she and her sister made their way to the photo room.

"To bad we also have to see Blythe and that hedgehog looking porcupine thing taking the spotlight from the true pet talents." Whittany complained.

"We can always hope that some kind of accident happens to them on stage. Like if he misses a cue or something." Brittany said, while the two chinchillas in the cage where giggling over what they where going to see.

"I think there will be much more problems then missing a cue from them." Velvet said.

At the photo shoot Blythe had asked if she and Russell could be after the Biskit twins and their pets, and the photographer seemed okay with that.

So first up was the Chinchillas, that got a very straight on and simple photo shoot with some very simple outfits. (They where mostly something small to be posted as an article in the paper, and not the main thing.) As they got their pictures taken and their owners getting interviewed, Blythe tried her best to fix the problem with Russell.

During their walk here Blythe had done nothing but massaged Russell's food filled middle to ease his pains, and it seemed to have worked great. All the food inside seemed to be digested now, and his stomach felt like it could relaxed now. But it had one bad effect, and that was that all the food had been transformed to fat now.

He had always been a bit chubby and had a bit of a potbelly, but that used to be it. Now he has three extra chins, thick tights that was constantly touching each other, a big blubbery butt, a couple of man-boobs on his chest, and a belly that was sticking out two feet and hanging down his to his knees.

"What am I suppose to now Blythe? I can't go out there modelling like this!" Russell said, sounding surprisingly worried about his chances as a model.

"I can try to loosen up

"One last photo girls!" The cameraman said, as he took a picture of the Biskit twins both holding their chinchilla self in their hands.

"Like, finally." Whittany said.

"Let's leave now." Brittany added, and the both twins where starting to head for the exit door when their pets started to act strangely.

"Brittany, my pet is, like acting crazy here." Whittany said, with her sister answering "Yeah, mine too."

Looking at their pets they saw that they where pointing toward the photo set, and then at their owner with pleading eyes.

"Whittany, I think they want to stay and watch when Blythe and her, thing is doing their photo shoot." Brittany said.

"I have no idea why they want that but I guess they also think that Blythe will just fail, and wants us to see when it happens." Whittany said.

"They are kinda smart that way Whittany. I suggest we do as they say." Brittany said, as they all decided to stand in the background and watch.

"Okay. Blythe and Russell, your time now!" The cameraman said as Blythe came in with a dressed up Russell in her arms.

Russell an outfit that included a green checkered sweater, with a pink and yellow striped scarf, and a pair of purple tights. (The theme for it was 1980s.) And his added weight was really being seen in it. His stomach was being pushed out from the sweater and hanging over the tights, his legs and butt was super detailed in the tight tights, and while Blythe added the scarf on as a way to try and hide his extra chins all it did was to make it even more obvious as it was tighten around his fat neck rolls.

"Put him down on the set, and I will do the rest." The cameraman said, and Blythe had no choice but to leave Russell for his fate.

As he saw the camera lens and the spotlights all having their attention focused on him, Russell could feel more then ever how incredibly fat he looked in these clothes.

"And...start posing!" The cameraman said, and Russell knew this was it. The moment of total embarrassment. Even thought he could have just fled the place and just forget it all, some part inside still wanted him to do his best. So against his better judgement Russell tried to do several of the poses he and Blythe had practiced, but he soon found them pretty hard to pull through thanks to his body.

When he was striking a pose all he could feel was how the flab from his stomach, jiggling by the sudden movement. And trying to show off his "Strong backside" he knew that the camera was only focusing on his wide bottom. But the crown achievement in embarrassment came when Russell was down on his knees to do the picture that would be on the cover for the next issue of the magazine. His stomach fat hanging down was once again a huge focus for attention, and in an effort to try and "hide" it Russell tried desperately to pull down the sweater and cover it all. (Even though if didn't even reached over his bellybutton.) The warm lights from the lamps where also starting to make Russell sweat a lot as he tried doing his covering act, only embracing the image of him as a real "slob of a pet". And to top it all of when Russell tried to help his sweater reach by bending forward he could he a loud "RIIIIPPPP!" coming from behind. Glancing over his back he saw what he sadly hoped not was true, but it was. He had just made his pants burst open from behind. Even though the camera would not be able to see that it still made Russell blush that his butt was so big that it had just broken his clothes.

And right in the middle of it all with Russell trying to cover with his sweater, belly flap hanging loose, lots of sweat covering him, eyes looking back at his cracked pants, and blush red cheeks he heard a "CLICK" sound, and knew that the cameraman had just made this moment the cover photo.

The embarrassment levels knew no limits as Blythe was allowed to now go in and pick him up again. Russell felt like he had just let Blythe down, but more importantly himself down. As they walked towards the door they where both being laughed at by the Biskit Twins and their pets.

"What's the problem Blythe? Didn't the clothes fit?" Brittany said in-between laughs.

"Did you feed him to much before shooting or something?" Whittany added.

"What have I done Blythe?" Russell asked.

"Don't worry Russell, it's not that bad." Blythe said, trying to cheer him up.

"Yes it was Blythe! Once that number gets published I will be the biggest laugh in the whole pet world!" Russell said, and almost started to cry.

But things did turned out very well Russell. Once the new number with him on the cover was for sale, the public reactions went through the roof. They had never seen anything like this before. The pure fatness in the pet, and the look of embarrassment in his face that was captured was something brand new for the market.

While some didn't get it at all at first, some art and fashion critics started to say that this was indeed trendy, and pretty soon most of the main stream started to follow it as well.

After only a day having fat pets with small clothes where the new thing. Many pet owners would let their pets eat themselves silly, and then have them where stuff that only covered the chest and hindquarter area, leaving the stomach part to hang wide open.

Even at Littlest Pet Shop this was present as most of the pets had been gaining their fair amount of weight, and where all sporting outfits that really showed their figure. (Especially Penny Ling, who already had been a bit on the round side before it was trendy, now looked like a real cover girl that could have made what Russell made unintentionally trendy to Seriously trendy.)

As for Russell himself he got a lot of fan letters, (And a lot of gift food) sent to him by fans that adored the "innocents" and "cuteness" his picture gave. And being the hedgehog he is to never toss away a gift he gets from someone he started to eat all the food he got, making his frame go from "fat" to downright "obese". As for the "wearing clothes" part of the trend Russell had been sometimes wearing his famous Hawaiian shirt (just to feel it stretch and holding his fatty frame inside.), but for the most parts he enjoyed simply having no stitch of clothes on him and just let his fat hang free from his body. But he didn't care so much anymore about his weight. It had only been bad right then when he did that modelling job, being fat on his free time was much more appreciated for him.
