An Early Thanksgiving

Joshua slowly stepped forward, nervously adjusting his tie. The built scarlet drake looked at his slender rabbit companion with a hint of worry. The rabbit's amber eyes held a trace of amusement as he said, "Don't worry hon, the doorbell isn't going to bite."

With an accusing grin, Josh said, "Well, Anthony, I don't see you ringing it!"

"Well, if you'd like me to wear the pants in the relationship, that's fine. Now, don't forget to turn off that pager! I don't want anything to interrupt this dinner." Anthony said, placing an accusing figure on the center of the dragon's brown suit, right below his red tie.

Grumbling slightly, the dragon nevertheless gave in to the demands of his suitor, turning off his pager and pressing the yellow doorbell.

"So, why exactly did the guys say they wanted us to come here a whole seven days before Thanksgiving?" The muscular drake said, readjusting the cuffs of his brown suit.

The limber rabbit smiled and shrugged, saying, "Beats me. Maybe they got the date wrong?"

The dragon rolled his eyes and responded with a similar shrug, before being interrupted by the white door before him swinging open, revealing a tall, rotund blue dragon.

The drake smiled warmly, before saying, "Hey you two! Glad you could make it, please, come in!"

Anthony was the first through the door, the limber brown-speckled rabbit having slipped in front of Joshua. "Ah, Leon!" The agile rabbit said with a wide grin, before hugging the dragon, "It's so good to see you! And, I have to say, I absolutely adore what you've done with the place!"

Although Joshua rarely paid much mind to decor, even he had to admit the place was splendid. The entire atmosphere of their hosts' home reflected the spirit of autumn. It seemed that the couple had tried as hard as possible to make their suburban home a Thanksgiving-themed cottage, and they succeeded. The couches and armchairs were mainly brown, aside from an orange trim, and the paint on the walls was a calm shade of yellow, while the floor was made of oak planks. The mantle of the lit cobblestone fireplace was decorated with pictures of Leon and his husband, Jackson. They included shots of their wedding as well as their vacations. Below the pictures hung a simple wreath of autumnal leaves, cementing the atmosphere of the home.

Joshua turned towards his host, noticing how much more... robust his figure seemed. When they had all been going to college, Leon was extremely fit, but now was a different tale. Everything about Leon seemed thicker than Joshua remembered, with his thick thighs, subtle-double chin, and soft cheeks highlighting his new self. All of the changes his friend had undergone were clearly displayed, even underneath his loose red sweater. The once toned abs of the drake had given way to plush flab, which rested neatly on top of his beach-ball sized stomach.

Thankfully, Leon did not notice Joshua's staring as anything out of the ordinary, as he said, "Ah, Josh, my man!"

Leon's plump stomach jiggling ever so slightly as he plodded towards his friend, his arms opened as he prepared to embrace his friend. Josh took a step back, daunted by the looming drake, before saying, "Hey now, dude, you know I'm not a much of a- oof!"

The blue drakes' eyes bulged as he felt the wind rush out of his lungs, the force of his friend's powerful grip proving to be too much for him. He could hear that sly little rabbit snickering from the other side of Leon. Clearly, the titanic drake had been much gentler with Anthony, causing Joshua to feel a pang of embarrassed annoyance. To make matters worse, he felt himself sinking into the wall of adipose before him, making him feel extremely awkward. Leon laughed heartily, before saying,

"I know, I know man, but it's so great to see you! I couldn't help myself!" Leon relaxed his grip, allowing the function to return to Joshua's lungs. Joshua let out a sigh and gave the large lizard a weary smile, saying, "Heh, it's good to see you too, dude."

The cheerful behemoth laughed heartily, before saying, "Now, I hope you two are hungry! Louis has been cooking all day so he might be a little bit grouchy. Don't worry though, the sight of you two should cheer him up."

Leon lumbered through an opening next to the staircase, his tight khakis making his chubby rear look much more prominent than they had any right being. Josh shoot an inquisitive look towards Anthony, who gave him a relaxed shrug in return. So, the duo followed after their bulky host.

Leon suddenly pointed to another opening, saying, "The dining room is right over there! I'll be back in a jiffy, I just have to go check on my love-bug."

And with that, the imposing drake wandered out another doorway, leaving the two of them behind. Joshua exchanged another glace with his boyfriend, who patted his back in turn, smiling reassuringly. When they entered the dining room, the first thing that caught their attention was not the decor, although it was splendid, but rather the insane amount of food laid before them. The couple's mouths dropped in astonishment as they analyzed the scene before them. There was not one - not two - but **three** massive, steaming turkeys. In addition, there were at least two apple pies, three cherry pies, and a whooping **six** pumpkin pies! The normal helpings, such as stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and the like, seemed to be more than enough to feed fifteen people! And, to make matters even more dramatic, the proportions of everything seemed twice as large as they ought to be.

"Wh-What on earth? Are they expecting a party of thirty or something?" Josh whispered nervously to his companion. Anthony was utterly dumbfounded.

The rabbit responded with, "Uh, I don't think so. There are only four chairs..."

"Christ almighty! Do they really expect us - or them, for that matter - to be able to eat even a tenth of this?!" The blue drake said with a tone of urgency.

Their worried conversation was interrupted by the entrance of Louis, the supposed cook of this ridiculous feast, who was followed shortly thereafter by Leon. Part of Joshua had expected Louis to balloon outward in a similar manner to Leon, but the orange-furred fox actually appeared to have *lost* weight. Back during their college days, Louis had been somewhat chubby, yet now he appeared to be unusually thin. The fox appeared exhausted, but upon seeing the couple standing aghast at the other side of the table, his visage immediately perked up.

"Anthony, Joshua! Good lord has it been a long time since I've seen you two!" Louis said with a pleasant smirk.

The two shuffled awkwardly, before Joshua nervously asked, "Well, man it's good to see you too, but... um... Why is there all of this food?"

A brief glimmer of confusion flashed across the fox's face, before being replaced by a look of amusement. "Oh, well, I guess I did overdo it a bit. But hey, at least there'll be plenty of leftovers!" Louis said, flashing a grin.

Louis' explanation seemed to soothe Anthony's worries. "Oh, no worries Louis! We were just a bit surprised by the... quantity of the meal. All of this looks fantastic, by the way."

The fox chuckled and said, "Well, how about we stop admiring the display and start the meal."

The other three decided to sit down. Joshua decided that there was no reason not to, so he plopped his rear into the seat next to Anthony. Just when everyone was about ready to dig in, Louis' eyes widened as he said, "Oh, shoot! We almost forgot to say grace."

Louis closed his eyes and quickly spread his hands to his sides. With a smirk and a slight roll of his eyes, Leon took the hand of his husband as well as Joshua. Anthony raised an eyebrow at Joshua, who dismissed him with a slight nod. Anthony reluctantly took the hand of Josh, before taking the hand of Louis. Joshua couldn't blame Anthony's reluctance, as he himself was somewhat surprised by the gesture of the other couple. Now, that's not to say that Joshua had a problem with the prayer. In fact, Josh considered himself to be fairly Christian. Neither of them had expected the opposing duo to be religiously minded at all, however, especially because of how very... **not** religious the duo had been in college. Joshua presumed that they turned over some sort of new leaf after getting married.

The fox's prayer was actually rather nice, if not a little lengthy. Apparently, the thin vulpine had a lot to be thankful for. "And, in the Lord's name, we pray, amen." The fox said with a peaceful smile fixed on his face.

"Amen." Responded to the others, before opening their eyes. Finally, it was time to eat. Leon was the first to begin the feast, as he cut into the turkey, cutting off a thick slab of poultry for himself, which he promptly doused in gravy and cranberry sauce, before moving onto the other dishes. The rest of the party followed suit. Once the first bite of turkey passed into Joshua's draconian maw, his eyes widened in amazement. This was some of the best food he'd ever tasted!

"Wow, I have to say, Louis, this is absolutely amazing!" The dragon said.

"Yeah, he said it, Louis! You really outdid yourself!" Anthony said in between bites.

"Oh, well I wouldn't have been able to do any of this if it hadn't been for the program Leon and I signed up for! Oh, Josh, could you be a dear and pass the potatoes?" The fox said cheerfully as he crammed cranberry sauce into his jaws.

As Joshua placed a hearty helping of mashed potatoes a plate and passed it to his host. Josh was intrigued by this program. As he shoveled potatoes onto his own plate, he said, "Oh, what program would that be?"

As Louis poured gravy onto his potatoes, he began to explain. "Well, you see, this lovely little company called Al-Chem Industries offers a number of different trials and deals for all sorts of things. From what they said at the presentation - hold on, could you pass me a slice of pumpkin pie? Thanks. Actually, could you make that two? Thank you, hon."

Louis was clearly caught up with his meal as he dug into the delicious meal. Joshua couldn't blame him. All throughout their conversation, Josh himself was devouring his meal. Before he knew it, he had powered through his first helping. For his next serving, he decided to focus mainly on the turkey and green beans. Louis stifled a burp, before continuing, "Oh, now where was I? Oh yes, the presentation! Well, this lovely young sales rep from Al-Chem - what was her name again?"

Leon passively stated, "Tracy, dear."

Louis clicked his tongue, and said, "Ah, yes, Tracy. Absolutely charming young thing. Well, anyways, Tracy told came to our door one day and told us about a holiday special they were having. In fact, she let us know that if we participated in their trial, they would cover all of the expenses for our Thanksgiving festivities. The only catch was that we had to - *burp* - oh, pardon me - sign a couple of forms, have our measurements taken, and one other little thing. They said we would have to prepare as much food as possible, for some odd reason. Then, yesterday, they sent an entire truckload of ingredients to us!"

For emphasis, the fox put down his utensils and spread his arms apart, before continuing, "And no, that's not figurative. They sent a literal **truck.** I mean, I haven't even cooked a tenth of it! Now, I have not a clue on Earth what they expect us to do with all of it, but hey, we aren't the type question free food! Isn't that right, my big, beautiful blue man?" Louis said as he poked his boyfriend's sweater-covered belly, sending light ripples throughout the sphere.

Leon's cheeks brightened slightly, but his eyes conveyed a sense of warmth. He leaned over to his husband, giving him a quick peck on the cheek before softly saying, "Well now, what kind of a question is that foxy? Of course, I do."

As Leon leaned back to his seat and continued consuming his fourth helping, Joshua took note of his midsection. That sweater wasn't looking so loose anymore, as a sliver of the massive dragon's silver belly-plates could be faintly seen beneath.

"Wait, so they really just gave you all of this food? It must have cost something, right?" Anthony said as he picked up an entire wedge of a pumpkin pie and bit into it, smearing a bit of whipped cream and pumpkin onto his face. Joshua furrowed his brow, before shrugging and deciding to follow suit, taking what remained of that pie and eating it in a similar manner to the rabbit.

After polishing off his extra helping of cranberry sauce, Louis gave a wide grin, and answered with, "No, it didn't cost us anything. In fact, they're **paying** us to use their products!"

Both Joshua and Anthony's jaws dropped once again before they remembered the wonderful taste of the pie and began chowing down again, while still paying attention to their host. "*No!* You must be joking!" Said Joshua, his eyes wide with amazement. Joshua tried to scoot forward to better hear his host but found his efforts halted suddenly as he hit the table. The strangeness of him hitting the table almost instantly when he had started the night with his body six inches away from the table was overshadowed by their intriguing conversation. At the back of his mind, he pondered why his suit felt so tight.

The foxes' grin only widened as he said, "Every bit of that is the truth! I kid you not, they paid us *$500.*"

Anthony looked like he was about ready to have a heart attack, as he shoots back, pushing his seat out about a foot. "**$500?** That's absolutely astounding, you two! I'm so happy for you!" He said his maw agape in surprise.

However, his mouth was filled soon after as he shoved another slice of pie into his gaping mouth. However, as Anthony pulled himself back in, Joshua was surprised by how distended the midsection of his boyfriend was. The buttons of his shirt actually looked like they were straining against his bloated midsection, which resembled a basketball of flab. Joshua blinked a few times and convinced himself it was his imagination. After all, they had only been dining for ten minutes. There was no way that the bloat would be that severe already.

As Anthony and Louis continued chattering away, Joshua refocused his attention on the scrumptious food before him. He took his time to savor the rich, savory flavor of his fourth - or was it sixth? - serving of turkey, which complemented the sweetness of the eleventh-ish slice - or rather an eleventh wedge - of the pie rather well. However, Joshua's delicious meal was interrupted when he heard a light clattering sound from beneath the table. While still shoveling pie into his mouth, the dragon looked under the table to find a button spinning on the ground. More specifically, **his** button.

The dragon's brow furrowed at this realization until his eyes widened as he looked at his midsection. His copper hued belly plates were clearly visible beneath his shirt, as his stomach resembled an over-inflated basketball. The dragon's mouth was utterly agape (although, he was still munching on a new slice of pie) as he prodded the foreign mound, his finger sinking in slightly, sending ripples throughout his belly. Wait, how on **Earth** did his belly jiggle? It was impossible for fat to develop in a single sitting! Also, how could it be fat? He still felt full. Well, not as full as he should be considering what he'd eaten, but still full-ish! It must be his imagination. It simply must.

But, looking at the other diners, he knew that this was no trick of the mind. All of them had grown considerably, with the additional flab being centered around their middles, but also spreading slightly to other parts of their bodies. Leon, who was by far the fattest of the four of them, had additional padding on his chest, in addition to what looked like an extra seven inches of belly fat on his middle, which was now prominently showing beneath his tight sweater, which was looking tighter by the minute. In addition, his khakis seemed to be straining against his plush things, but that development was nowhere near as clear as his stomach's growth, which did not seem to be stopping anytime soon. The gluttonous dragon was biting into entire pies at this point, licking the tins clean once he had devoured their delectable, fattening contents. However, the dragon did not appear completely oblivious to his growth, as he appeared to examine his gut for a brief moment. However, this moment was short-lived, as his belly grumbled audibly, altering him to the ever-present delicacies before him. The revelation was completely forgotten as he pulled his sweater down a little, before muttering something about the washing machine having shrunk his clothing.

The rest of the party was faring little better, as evidenced clearly by Anthony. The once trim rabbit was now sporting a pair of plump thighs and soft pecs. Out of all of them, the rabbit's growth seemed the most evenly dispersed, however, that did not minimize the size of his stomach. The pudgy mound had finally broken through the constraints of the suit, having taken out several buttons, exposing his white-furred flab to the world. Worst of all, Anthony was completely oblivious to his weight gain, as he was still pleasantly chattering with Leon and Louis.

Now, Joshua had thought that the changes in his other two companions were drastic. That was until he looked at Louis. The fox was utterly massive, with almost all of his fat being centered at his midsection, which was proudly out from under his autumn-leaf patterned vest. His stomach resembled a beach ball half filled with water as it sloshed back and forth with his exaggerated hand motions. It was honestly a little mesmerizing. Like Anthony, he was completely oblivious to these developments.

The state of their bodies was utterly alarming. Joshua knew that he had to say something. He had to stop eating. He was going to do all of that. Emphasis on *was.* Because, just then, his train of thought was interrupted by a hungry growl from his middle. He idly pawed his swollen stomach, thinking things over. Would it really hurt if he ate just a little more? I mean, it would be rude to interrupt the meal here, wouldn't it? And, after all, his hosts didn't deserve that. Not after how great they'd been. He would just finish off the cranberry sauce, and then he'd be full. Surely then, he would be able to say something.

The cranberry sauce on his end was finished. Once again, he was about to say something. "I - *BURRPPP!!*"

At last, that was enough to interrupt the gossiping of Anthony and Louis, who were both startled by the outburst of Joshua. Leon immediately burst out laughing, causing his massive belly to wobble profusely, saying, "Well, you're very welcome, Josh! Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!" Antony and Louis chuckled a bit, and then returned to their conversations, still unaware of their ever-expanding middles.

If Josh's scales hadn't been crimson, the redness of his cheeks would have stood out like a sore thumb. It felt wrong to ruin the night, especially after his... outburst. So, he would have to come up with another solution. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head, one that would save his friends' waistline **and** preserve the night's fun! He would eat the rest! Now, he would have to be quick about it, but he had a feeling that he could pull it off. Despite what Joshua would like to tell himself, he did not do this out of the goodness of his heart, rather, he did it out of the hunger of his stomach.

So, he went about his job with great efficiency. Now, there was not too much left at this point, but he made short work of everything he could reach. He devoured the last four pies one after the other, still savoring the fantastic taste of each large bite. Then he moved onto the remaining half of the third turkey, which was consumed in under a minute. Throughout this, his friends were too caught up with their conservations - as well as their plates - to notice the sudden voracity of their companion. Sure enough, as the dragon devoured more and more of the food, his form filled out bit by bit. Every so often another button would pop off. His red scales began to adjust to the suddenly rounded flesh beneath them rather well, unlike his belly plates, which were beginning to look somewhat segmented. At this point, his stomach was the size of what Leon's had been towards the beginning of the night. By the time he finished off the side dishes, the party finally began to take note of their friend's gluttony, once the final button popped off, unleashing the full might of his newly acquired adipose.

The button ricocheted across the room, bouncing off of walls, furniture, and lamps before eventually landing in the middle of the table. All three of the others were rather shocked by this sudden occurrence, their eyes following the button across the room, all the way to the center of the table. Slowly, they all turned their heads towards the exhausted, bloated form of Joshua, whose head was hanging backward, his mouth agape as he took deep breaths. All of them looked at him with a fix of amazement and horror. There was a moment of silence before they all jumped back as Joshua let loose an absolutely tremendous burp, followed by a relieved sigh, as Joshua readjusted himself, facing them.

"Wh-Wha..." Was all that Anthony could muster as he gazed at the beach-ball sized belly of his boyfriend.

Joshua said, with a slight hint of food-induced weariness, "S-So, now you all see... This here?" He said as he patted his engorged stomach, smiling drunkenly. "This is what- **BURPPP** what *I* saved all of you f-from. I mean, l-look at all of yourselves."

All of them looked down at themselves, still in shock about the sudden outburst from Joshua. It took them a moment to realize what he was talking about until their startled gasps filled the room. Louis looked like he was on the verge of a breakdown as he said, sloshing his flab around, "Wait, **WHAT?** This can't be happening, this can't be happening... I can't be fat!"

Joshua waved his hand as he rested his elbow on his massive stomach, as he said: "You're - *hic* - welcome."

Anthony could only look at himself in confused horror.

Out of all of them, Leon seemed the most well adjusted. "Well," He said, rubbing his belly, "I'd say the food makes this worth it, hon. Plus, I honestly think the flab looks good on you, my big orange man." He said with a mocking bout of laughter, heartily slapping his husband's stomach, causing the mass to shake violently.

Louis looked about ready to kill Leon but was thankfully stopped by Anthony getting up from the table. He appeared to be in a daze as he said, "Louis, would it be okay if we slept in your guest room tonight? This must be some sort of- hallucination. Yeah, hallucination. If we get some sleep, it-it will go away. Yeah. It'll go away."

Leon locked eyes with the drowsy Joshua, and both of them instantly burst out in laughter. Leon's words were dripping with sarcasm, "Yeah, that sounds completely probable, bud."

Joshua added onto this, saying with heavy laughter, "Yeah, when pigs **urp** fly!"

Louis and Anthony were broken out of their stupor as they glared at Leon and Joshua respectively. Anthony scowled, and began walking up the stairs, his chubby form jiggling all the way. "We'll see who's laughing in the morning!" He yelled down from upstairs.

Despite the situation, Leon was still grinning, as he said, "Well, isn't this just like old times? I mean, minus the whole fat thing. And especially the whole you and Anthony being a thing. I don't think anyone would've paired the two of you."

Louis immediately perked up at the mention of this, saying, "Oh my lord, yes! Finally, someone said it! I never saw that coming."

Joshua laughed profusely yet again, saying, "Yeah, I definitely didn't see that one coming either!"

All three of them laughed happily. Louis' joy faded as he looked at their newly acquired flab, as he sighed and said, "I'm so, so sorry about this. I should have realized this whole thing was too good to be true."

Leon placed his hand on his husband's furred shoulder, comforting him as he said, "Hey, don't worry hon. This isn't the worst thing that could have happened. And, after all, I always thought you looked cuter with a bit of chub."

The fox looked at him with a somber smile and said, "Really babe? Oh, thank you."

The two of them embraced, which was a bit awkward due to the overabundant pudge of the couple. Joshua found that to be a nice scene. He hoped that Anthony would be more agreeable in the morning, even if his fat didn't suddenly vanish.

"Well, you know, something needs to be done about all of that food," Louis said, pushing back to his own seat. "I mean, it'd be a shame to let it all go to waste.

"Do you have anything in mind?" Asked Leon.

"Well, the additional payment for the trial comes in once we measure up for Thanksgiving. And, since they'll only pay us if we carry out the trial the whole week... Would you like to keep going?"

Leon raised an eyebrow, before shrugging, sending ripples throughout his soft chest, and saying, "Sure. There's probably a way we can drop all of this after the holidays. Chances are they'll even pay those two." He said as he looked at Josh, saying, "If you're interested in it that is."

Josh smirked and said, "How much are they paying?"

Louis smiled and said, "$1,500 per participant! And it said that any additional volunteers would be applicable as well, so long as they participate in all of it."

Josh grinned widely and said, "So long as your chairs can handle it, I'm in!" He said, flexing his muscles and grinning drunkenly, before straightening himself in his chair. The movement caused his ample belly to slosh to and fro yet again. "Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to get a bit of sleep."

The dragon stood up for a moment before, being sent off balance by the combined weight of his middle and the intensity of the incoming food coma, sending him crashing onto the soft white carpet, leaving him beached atop his middle. Louis gasped as Leon ran over to check on the fallen drake, his blue-scaled gut bouncing all the way.

"Oh lord, is he okay?" Louis asked.

Leon chuckled, patted the large dragon's shoulder and said, "He's more than okay. In fact, he's fast asleep!"

Leon smiled during the moment it took Louis to realize what he just said. The couple burst out laughing, causing their jelly-like middles to shake profusely. Leon put his arm around his husband and the two walked up the stairs. Louis shouted down, "Goodnight Joshua."

Joshua opened one eye for a moment and whispered, "Goodnight, Louis... Thanks again, and Happy Thanksgiving..." Before returning to his peaceful slumber.
