(STORY IN DESCRIPTION)

After eons I return.. and I come bearing THE THIRD CHAPTER. THIS TIME THE STORY WILL NOT END WITH THE SECOND INSTALMENT BECAUSE THIS TIME I'VE BEEN GIVEN... MONEY!!!! SERIOUSLY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO TEMARISWITCHTOGAS FOR HER ABSURD PATIENCE WITH ME AND MY ATTENTION DEFICIENT BRAIN.

Sonic sez: respect women unless you're in an elaborate weight gain scenario, in which case get the job done by any means necessary.

I'd promise to have the next chapter out sooner, but I'm currently working on my first image pack and I still have that animation collab with Allola1101 (thanks for proofreading again homeslice) so uh... Sally xl chapter 4: coming sometime within 2021!

'Well, now I know what he was so smug about."

The princess thought to herself. Apparently those rings were either warping the memories of everyone around her into thinking she had always looked like this or they were actively rewriting history as she gained. The fact that even Nicole's memory was affected suggested the latter.

"I assume 'yer killing Sonic, why?"

Bunnie asked, audibly flabbergasted.

"Nothing… nevermind, don't worry about it guys… Thanks Nicole, back to Sonic."
Sally waved off as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Kay!"
The lynx's physical form dissipated.

"'Ah guess 'Ah should leave too?"
The former robian deduced, awkwardly rubbing the back of her blonde furred head.

Sally opened her mouth to tell Bunnie she could stay but paused as she felt a sensation of fullness suddenly appear in her stomach.

"Um… yeah Bunnie, if you don't mind. Sorry for freaking out!"
Sally cleared as she started physically pushing her friend out the doorway.

"It's alright… you let me know whenever you’re ready to talk about whatever's goin' on with you two."
She offered sincerely, sliding forward on her heels as the princess moved her out. She still wasn't used to not longer having the strength that came with her robotic limbs, she wasn't used to being moved so easily by everyone.

"Will do!"
The red head responded, whilst closing the door behind her. Bunnie peaked her hazel eyes through the crevice the chipmunk had yet to close, Sally paused at the evident worry in them.

"It ain't serious is it?"
She asked.

The princess had to stop herself from saying yes, she put on a sheepish smile. Forcing a laugh.

"No… no it's not."
She admitted, it was hard but she didn't want to give the poor rabbit an ulcer. Being friends with both she and Sonic, Mrs. D'coolette had been trying to sew order among the chaos for nearly a decade at this point. Wanting the two of them to have their happy ending only to watch them constantly fight and break up, she was right to be concerned.

As the princess felt her stomach graze up against the door as she leaned, she shut it fully while carefully avoiding catching Bunnies braid with it. She quickly darted around and practically dove to her communicator.


"Y'ellow?"
Sonic answered calmly, his mouth audibly full of food.

"Stop!"
The princess demanded.

"If it means dinner's on?"
His nasally voice cooed.

"Yeah, not giving you the satisfaction."
She barked.

"Welp, them's the rules darling. More corndogs for me!"

She could actually hear his smile over the phone.

"Your stupid rules were I get fatter, not that I get so stuffed I can't walk! You put me in two food comas yesterday, I do not want to spend all day today pinned to my couch!"
She yelled.

"Yeah, alright. That's fair, I'll pace myself."
He diffused, the tiniest bit of guilt evident in his voice.

"Gee, thanks…"
She groaned.

"I'll go get some ice cream to soothe the poor princess' tummy, do you prefer red velvet or mint chocolate chi-

Sally hung up with a scowl. She looked down at the damage. Her stomach hadn't bloated out anywhere near the extremes of the prior stuffings, though it was still quite noticeable. Her tummy had puffed out enough that sucking it in would not hide the outward curve and it filled most at the lower belly, a droopy tortilla teardrop stood out from the princess's waist. Her 4-month food baby combined with the new moderate softness now found all over Sally's body made her look… domesticated. More akin to a pampered princess or housewife rather than the battle ready commander she had been two days ago.

With nothing else to do at the moment Sally pondered the nature of her 'situation'. While it meant her original plan of simply ratting Sonic out to whoever would yell at him was now no longer a possibility it also meant that she didn't have to worry about the judgemental stares or having to explain to the people in her life how she let herself go so suddenly. It also probably meant that once this was over no one but Sonic would even remember seeing her like this, it made this 'prank' feel a little less mean spirited… but only a little.

She thought back to something odd Bernadette had mentioned the day before that had caught her attention. Apparently Sonic had shown his mother some pictures to see if she looked unusual in them. Sally grabbed some of her own pictures off her dresser, if she looked like her old self then that would merely mean that everyone else's memories were being skewed.

The princess looked to a recent picture, the first picture of all the freedom fighters spending an evening together since she had been deroboticized. Antoine had just gotten out of the hospital then. Sally looked at herself between Sonic and Amy's arms and…

"Yep."
Sally noted in a casual tone, her pronounced brows closing the gap between themselves.
Her past self looked the exact same as she did now, minus the packed stomach. Her guess would have been that in this new history Sally had put the weight on in recovery, a lack of exercise and stress eating would've been the easiest way for the rings to twist events where her current size made any sense, that didn't seem to be the case however. Her own expression in the picture remained the same as well, indicating that her gain hadn't been recent in this new timeline Sonic was crafting. She looked at an older photo, her and Sonic on a date just before they announced to her parents that they decided to court for marriage and sure enough that 'broadness' was there. She grabbed the eldest photo that had survived the years fighting the Robotnik's: the first photo the original FF had taken, in knotholes underground. There Sally's teenaged self stood with her arm wrapped around the shoulder of a half roboticized Bunnie, pink and 'athletically thick'.

"Ah, I've always been like this. Fantastic."
She scowled. That certainly lined up with what Bunnie believed. As she thought about it, that sort of played into her hand a little more. Maybe telling would still be in the cards if need be. It would be easier to convince friends their new memories were fabricated if they were comprised of her overweight yet still performing her previous physical feats.

"Boop."
A digitized version of Sally's own voice noised, she turned her head to see Nicole materializing back into her room.

"The ring is unattended."
The Lynx said, proud of herself.

Sally sighed.
"That was fast."
She stated in relief.

"It's just outside the city in the little woods. He set it down on a rock."
The hologram informed, smiling despite the blatant shenaniganry afoot.

"Makes sense, he's on his late morning run. Could still be a trap though."
Sally pondered, squinting as she held her chin.

"Trap?"
The A.I asked. Her eyebrow was cocked but her tone, along with the rest of her face made it clear she was intrigued as to what exactly was going on.

"What did you do to get him to start messing with you like this?"
She inquired.

"I wouldn't eat junk food with him."
The organic one answered bitterly.

"Awh, why not? That's like his second favourite thing."
The holo-lynx pushed further.

"Not you too…"
The princess moaned as she put her hand to her face. She threw her arms out.
"I can't just start eating like he does Nicole, I have to actually be careful to stay in shape."
She immediately realized she shouldn't have said that given how she looked now.

"Oh, really?"
Nicole seemed genuinely confused for a moment.
"You've never had a problem sneaking a cupcake or two from the banquet hall… And you're still in great shape!"
She awkwardly tried to recover.
"Despite the fact that you aren't quite as thin as the girls. Wait… are you trying to lose weight now?"
She continued trying to stretch that artificial brain to make sense of her friend's recent behavior.

"Sure, I'm trying to lose weight now."
Sally said defeated. She figured that was probably the best explanation she could give at the moment.

"But not until tomorrow, right? Looks like you just had quite the big breakfast! "
The computer girl giggled as she poked the princess's stuffed-out gut.

"Nicole!"
Sally yelled, caught by surprise and blushing. She threw her arms over to block her middle from her friend's sight. She reminded herself that the weight was normal to everyone, but obviously a full stomach wasn't a permanent feature for the rings to explain for her. There was no time to wait for it to digest though, she had to get going now if she wanted that ring back.
"Look, there's no time to explain, I need to get going!"
She huffed as she ran to grab the vest she had been wearing before, as she held it in her hands she realized it was already tight on her and she still would have to worry about growing at least a bit larger if her packed middle was anything to go by. She frowned before quickly a thought crossed her mind.

"It doesn't make any sense? If history's being altered then…"
She moved over to her wardrobe and sure enough to Sally's relief there were size ten vests in her usual style waiting for her. All of her clothes had been upsized to fit her current self, even her dresses seem a bit roomier inside. Truth be told if this was a timeline where she had always been a little bigger than she would've hoped to find some clothes in here that would've covered more of her body but nope, same as before the only truly casual (and mission viable) clothing to be found covered about two percent of her torso if you looked at her from the front. She slipped into one of the resized vests only to pause for a moment, it was unfortunately possible she could outgrow this vest while still inside it despite it fitting better for the moment… Or was it?
"Why have these clothes grown but my other vest hasn't? Maybe because it was in contact with me and wearing the ring means I'm not affected like everyone else? Maybe it's dependent on the vicinity to the ring?"
She tried to wrap her brain around this magic artifact she knew unnervingly little about, but she didn't have enough time to dwell on it for too long. Sally was no stranger to going out topless but right now she really wanted to be at least a little covered. Against her better judgement she kept it on. Next, she was quickly sliding one of her now magically larger combat boots up her light brown legs. She ran up to her balcony again before awkwardly stopping herself with the aid of the hand rail. She'd probably puke if she dropped into a parkour roll right now. Nicole just quietly observed, still entertained. Sally swiveled around and made a break through her door.

"Are you going to be able to run with that?"
Nicole asked, peaking her head out the room behind her.

Sally rolled her blue eyes as she quickly dashed through the decorated rooms of the castle. She startled some guards and butlers as she slammed about through the halls without her usual grace. She wasn't too far onto the dirt trail before realizing it wasn't just a joke, her stomach was actually going to fight her on this one. The slight wincing pain that came with each bounce and press of a leg was soon coupled with acid reflux. She was already acutely aware of the little extra heaviness in her legs and the little extra effort it took to throw them forward each time, Sally frowned. She didn't need her stomach slowing her down as well.

She was nearly at the kingdom's edge when it felt as though she couldn't keep the stomach acid out of her mouth. By the time she made it out of the city's bounds she felt full-on nauseous, she slowed her pace to a half to keep from vomiting. By some miracle when she had looped around to the small stretch of forestry pressing against the outer wall of the city's forcefield Sonic still hadn't returned. Excited, Sally quickly found the rock thanks to a couple of old red sneakers discarded and left resting against it. A small golden band sat atop it. With a satisfied grin the chipmunk quickly swiped it, only to be immediately disappointed.

"An onion ring!?"
Sally fumed as she stared at the greasy side in her palm. It was exceptionally small and nearly perfectly symmetrical, but an onion ring nonetheless.

As if on cue Ms. Acorn's big pointed ear perked at the familiar sound of a distant sonic boom. In a panic she placed the onion ring back as it was on the stone and climbed up into a surrounding tree.

Sonic slid to a stop, smugly eyeing the decoy he'd left.

Through the leaves Sally watched as her boyfriend eyed his little trap. While still cocky she was able to read uncertainty on his face, it seemed as though Sonic didn't know for sure whether or not the princess was currently in his presence. With a smile the speedster slid the true ring out from inside his sock and placed it on his finger, Sally scowled. The blue blur reached his hand into a knothole a few trees away and adjacent from the one Sally was perched in, pulling out a large lunch bag. The chipmunks scowl transformed into a cringe. Sallys perceptive mind thought it was odd that there'd been no food around the rock but obviously hadn't had enough time to investigate the idea. Sonic slipped down, resting against the tree.

Acorn cursed under her breath, she wouldn't be able to get to him quickly enough from her current position. Sonic couldn't know Sally was approaching until she actually had her hands on him. Being faster than light meant that if there was a single millisecond the hedgehog was aware of her presence before she had him in some kind of hold he could zip off and she'd have no way of catching him... or he'd start play-fighting.

Sally had fought Sonic before, during the time Sonic had suffered amnesia and was manipulated by their zones native Robotnik. She had impressed herself then in that she at least kept up. Sally hadn't actually won however even though Sonic was slower back then and she hadn't had this extra fluff or taught stomach slowing her down. Even her upgraded mechanized self was just barely a match for him. There was no way she was going to be able to submit him and force him to hand the ring over like this.

Sonic having his ring back on meant sally was digesting her food with his super speed and efficiency again, while she should've been frustrated with that immediately she at least felt some relief in her stomach. Sally scratched her jaw, she didn't think she would be able to take advantage of it though, even with her mobility a little less restricted she hadn't trained her stealth with this new body oh hers. The young freedom fighter would have to sneak across a few trees to get directly above the source of her problems but would still be putting an extra thirty pounds on each branch and if Sonic heard even a single shaking of leaves it would probably be over.

Sally grit her teeth, she'd just have to stay still and hope Sonic would walk under her after he finished eating. Her big eyes were trained on the fastest thing alive as he pulled out a wrapper containing a few chillidogs and took his first bite into one. Sally expected her shrinking stomach to only last a moment but to her surprise Sonic wasn't packing it all into her in the blink of an eye. He crossed his legs, smiled and proceeded to eat at a speed comparable to someone with proper etiquette… slower even. Any other person would assume the young man was simply savouring his food, or honouring his agreement to not overtax Sally's stomach… but she knew better. The blue blur still wasn't sure if he was alone and figured he'd make his potential audience have to wait, hopefully he'd even draw her out. It took over ten minutes for Sonic to finish a mere three chillidogs, easily the most self restraint he'd ever demonstrated in his entire life. The red head took some solace in the fact that this new eating ritual was a lot less taxing on her poor gut but she had already grown restless with her current predicament and judging by the decent size of his bag the hedgehog was only about a quarter through his meal.

Sally tapped on her knees as another ten minutes passed for Sonic to enjoy his container of French onion soup, another ten for him to eat his footlong cold cut sub. By the time he was finishing up with some pickled eggs and cheese (likely the hedgehog's idea of a good source of protein) the princess' joints were starting to get sore from holding her perched pose for so long with the extra weight pulling down on her. All the while the princess had to awkwardly try to stifle the onslaught of small burps to keep Sonic from hearing, the seaward hunched pose she was in seemed to be pushing them out of her stomach. At least now he seemed to be finished.

He did a little stretch before calmly pacing to another cub in a tree and pulling out an even larger brown bag. Sally's stomach dropped, it was difficult for her to keep her profanity to a low volume now. Sonic sat himself back down and over the course of the next fourty minutes went through a small buffet of macaroni salad, bologna sandwiches, tuna subs, a thermostat of tomato soup, what were seemingly leftover calzones and of course some more chillidogs. Since the hedgehog kept his pace to that of molasses Sally's stomach never grew tight enough to the point of inducing pain, but that wasn't her only concern. In her squatted position the princess could actually feel more and more pressure on her ankles, she could also feel her derriere peaking out farther and farther into the air behind her. Her blue combat boots Were beginning to shrink into her calves too. Most annoyingly of all however was the now familiar feeling of her blue vest's arm holes cutting into her shoulders and armpits, Sally sighed.

'It hurts and it's just going to restrict me.'
She told herself begrudgingly, she had to give it up. She tugged her top off as quietly as she was able given her awkward circumstances and hung the piece on another branch above her.

After wasting his entire early afternoon practicing sadism Sonic was out of food, he knew now that Sally was somewhere around him. The fact that his beloved never called him again in anger meant she couldn't afford to, he'd hear her voice close by. After another quick stretch he began making his way out of the small forest, walking slowly. His emerald eyes scanned the treetops above and around him, expecting to spot a certain someone only for him to hear the shaking of leaves in a tree to his left side. He swivelled immediately with a grin only for him to get tackled with a considerable amount of force from his right side and smack face first into the dirt and grass. Confused, he saw an acorn roll on the ground below the tree he'd looked to. Apparently it'd been thrown into it.

"Points for the on-brand diversion."
Sonic struggled to say under the weight of his other half. Before he even had time to process Sally had taken his right arm and pulled it against his back.

"Points for that little display of patience there."
Sally smirked before blowing some of her amber locks out of her face.
"Now give me the damn ring."
She ordered while hyperextending Sonic's arm underneath her. The princess' extra padding was actually aiding her at this point. Her soft brown flesh both kept her boyfriend pinned and cushioned her a bit from the dark blue quills protruding from his back.

"So we're going for dinner?"
He grinned with his face pressed against the ground.

"Sure! There's this new vegetarian place I've been meaning to try! We can go to lots of healthy restaurants this month!"
Sally taunted, her charitability had been destroyed with her waistline. She wouldn't be letting Sonic pick any restaurants for a while.

"Nah, I was thinking we could just settle for Uncle Chuck's tonight."
He said nonchalantly, while he wasn't able to move too much he still had enough wiggle room for one trick. Sally's blue eyes widened as Sonic began vibrating his body under her at super speeds, shaking her along with him. Sally's eyes clenched shut while her hands hurt too much for her to keep her grip. With her loosened hold Sonic was able to push her off of him, leaving her to jiggle violently as she struggled to get back on her feet... and jiggle she did.

"Hmm you look a little different babe, did you do something new with your hair again?"
Sonic's raspy voice mused at the brown wobbling mess in front of him.

"Ugh!"
Sally noised in frustration. She grasped the ground as she pushed herself up, chucking the powdered dirt her hand had found as she did so. Said dirt never made it to Sonic's eyes however as he quickly darted out of its way, reappearing to Sally's naked eye right next to her. She'd lost her advantage, the scenario she'd been camping and taking in more extra fat to avoid had come to be.

"Accidentally dyed your fur again maybe?"
He mockingly held his chin in fake contemplation, before quickly hopping back as Sally tried to sneak her left foot behind his knee so she could get him back onto the ground again. Her hands missed him and the shove whiffed with her boobs bouncing around in her face, an issue she'd never come across before. The past few hours of non-consensual gluttony clearly showed, no longer was Sally at the end of the average weight range… even the athletically thick label would be pushing it, no... there was another, simpler term, it was more accurate even: chubby… Ms. Acorn was officially chubby.

Before Sally's body still showed signs that she exercised despite her increased weight, however another twenty to thirty pounds had allowed her body to fill to a shape that would lead a viewer to believe she got little more than walks around the castle. Save for her fingers, toes and skull any stiffness that still could've been found hours ago was now buried. Her collar bones had sunk completely into the layer of fat enveloping her torso. Her ribs were now completely invisible to the touch with the majority of her pelvis following suit, aside from the front edges if enough pressure was applied in the fold where her thighs met her love handles and belly. Her belly (it was a belly now) took far less than her sporadic hunch to fold into two full rolls, less than halfway down into her full range of movement and the fat covering her core would be redistributed in two. While in an upright position her middle didn't take the globular, spherical shape of a true fat woman's gut. The meat of her middle drooped into more of a bell shape with a thinner concave curve in front of and a bit above her diaphragm. It wrapped under and made room as well as support for her new f-cup breasts, showing there was still a bit of structure held together despite all the loose adipose making up her form. Her belly curved outward and grew wider the lower one looked as it met her now prominent love handles. Even when standing completely upright the undercurve of her belly's bottom took the shape of a roll, curving itself back up into her middle as it tried to swallow her groin. The tortilla coloured section of her middle had been stretched far out of it's usual shape. The pattern's new form copied the outline of her belly looking like a stretched, compressed and rounded hourglass or rather a number eight as the bottom half was wider than the top. The point where her belly fur pinched (the point where the two curves of the tortilla hourglass shape met) was lined up with where her love handles cut into her middle. The edge of the pattern could not be seen as it was tucked under the roll of her under belly, one could see a tortilla belly end before suddenly a light brown crotch appeared out from under it. A v-line was nowhere to be found as half of the extremely puffy concave mound that was now her crotch was obscured thanks to her underbelly. Sharp horizontal lines would make themselves seen in her sides should Sally lean to either side at all, said lines arched up slightly into the sides of her back. Sally's love handles even wrapped around over the back of her pelvis, sitting atop her further enlarged butt cheeks which again sent her tail up higher and closer to the small of her back. With each increase in weight Sally's little chipmunk tail seemed smaller and smaller in comparison to the rest of her. Before the fat on Sally's thighs seemed tightly packed onto and anchored to the muscles under it, that was no longer the case. Now the blubber on Sally's thick thighs swayed back and forth around the muscle at the slightest movement. Her wobbly (fittingly brown) tree trunks only stopped touching just above her knees, her ridiculous thigh gap was long gone. Even the farther reaches of Sally's body where one would always expect a solid feel were hit with blubber. Her ankles had softened, it would even take a poke to find the bones at the sides of her wrists. Her feet (if they weren't currently within her blue combat boots) would've seemed flatter and her knuckles were beginning to sink into her hands. Small new folds could be found in certain places like the tiny double fold where Sally's boobs connected to her arms or the cracks in the tops of her meaty shoulders.
Overall the princes looked soft.
Even her face looked a little different, her currently frustrated expression was made far less intimidating to Sonic thanks to the bit of extra puffiness in her cheeks.

"Hmmmm…. Let me think…"
He continued.

Sally knew she couldn't tag Sonic, she'd have to wait for when he came at her. She decided to make herself look open, jumping into a flying sidekick she knew would never land. Acorn noted how her love handle quickly exploded in size and she could feel the fold cutting deeper into her body as she tilted her hip up to perform the attack, by the time she was airborne the roll had risen up to envelope so much of her side that it had rolled over part of her armpit. One chubby flying side kick aimed at the speedsters chest and suddenly that speedster had moved too fast for a normal mobians sight to track.

"Oh! I know!"
Sonic shouted.
Sally didn't get as much height or distance as she was expecting to and was surprised by how much the muscles in her thighs and glutes had to work to keep her extra weight balanced upon landing. She was already planning on looking thrown off by her new circumference so she played up her awkward landing, forcing her front knee to wobble and internationally leaning backward a little too much. Sonic took the bait, reappearing directly behind his beloved, pressing his solid runner's bod into her soft back fat. His large gloved hands gripped her love handles, expanding the doughy mounds out even further as he pinched them.

"Hm!?"
Sally's eyes widened a little in response and her long eyelashes nearly shot out of the sockets. She couldn't hold the blush back as Sonic gave the folds some good hard shakes, creating waves as her belly jiggled madly along with them with her breasts following along to a lesser extent. She had suppressed the surprised little noise that tried to escape her mouth, Sally was expecting an attack… not that.

"You're three times the size you used to be babe!"
He smiled, still manually making his girlfriend do the truffle shuffle. Sally quickly regained her bearings in that split second, throwing the top of her head back into Sonic's long nose. Shaking her auburn hair madly as she did so.

"Ow!"
Sonic cried out.
As she performed the strike she made sure to grab Sonic's hands at her sides before he recoiled too far away. As the headbutt forced Sonic to lean back too far and Sally secured a hold on his hands she jumped back into him. She pushed her inflated rear into his abdomen and slid her feet into each of his knee pits to ensure he would be hitting the ground. Sonic's back hit the ground with the added force of Sally's presumable 170+ pounds helping him get there and crushing his lower core as she landed on him.

"Oof!"

Sally kept the momentum going and did a backward roll off the hedgehog to avoid another vibration attack. Sonic did his windmill breakdancing move to cover himself as he got back up, but after he did Sally smiled contently at the sight of Sonic holding his stomach for a moment after quickly checking his nose.

"Doesn't seem to be slowing me down honey."
She beamed. Her thick black brows furrowed, making her smile look devilish.

Sonic recovered.
"Well I just wasn't expecting you to be so rough darling. You know the rules though, if you want to spar like that you have to put extra padding on!"
The fastest thing alive smiled as he subtly stepped back before whipping another large bag of food out from it's knothole.

"You have more!?"
Sally exclaimed, the surprise on her face was evident.

"I know how to plan ahead too."
He mused coyly.

The chipmunk dove at him in desperation, but it took far too long for her to get to him. He intentionally scarfed the entirety of the bag's contents into the span of a second, causing Sally's gut to jut out from under her mid-flight. The dark blue hedgehog calmly side-stepped away from the pathetic tackle attempt, Sally pushed her fingers to her mouth to keep all the food down after landing on her hands and knees. Even still her stomach was unaccustomed to eating at such a speed. Sally slowly and shakily rose to her feet as she held her belly. Her eyes widened again as she saw Sonic had already reached for a fourth massive bag and wolfed it down so quickly it seemed like a single blurry motion to Sally. Her tummy blew out even bigger as the fat surrounding her core had to make room for her expanding stomach underneath.

"What's the matter, tubby? Too full?"
Sonic playfully asked before appearing in front of Sally. She was struggling to keep stable footing and the dismay in her expression was obvious. He was visible just long enough for her eyes to catch him as he shot his hands into her plush middle only to reappear in a crawling posting behind her legs instantly after, sending the already off balance princess tumbling over him. He effectively performed a one man bench as Sally's back smacked the ground sending the rest of her body jiggling, even her calves and biceps yet not her stomach so much surprisingly as it was already pretty tight.

"Have a little lie-down, let that pot belly do some digesting."
He ordered with a smile.
Sally whimpered, she was sprawled in a starfish position with her belly rising to the sky. Sonic revealed another two bags in his hands, Sally's sad blue eyes clearly pleaded for mercy yet Sonic continued his onslaught from within. He munched through the bag in his left hand as Sally's belly stretched higher and more rounded. He poked his index finger into her tummy, it was surprisingly taught considering all the fat that had made its home there. Only about a third of Sonic's finger was able to sink into Sally's flesh before being sprung back up, she really was just a taught balloon now. Sonic grinned in a manner unbecoming of the man labelled the hero of Mobius. He straddled the princess' belly, only sinking in so much and forcing unbelievable pressure on her insides.

"Oomph!
Sally's face was cringing in discomfort, she wanted him off but was already effectively beached. Now even the slightest movement with Sonic seated atop her stomach caused too many issues for her to even consider struggling as an option. Sally's frowned and shot eyes continued to beg for mercy, but her throat had yet to actually say it for them.
Sonic looked down, now a little pity in his smile.

"You can say uncle at any time."
He reminded, before beginning to mow down the last bag. He could actually feel Sally expanding underneath him and could swear it felt like he was rising atop her. He could feel the vibration anytime her poor innards moaned. Sonic was about halfway through this largest of the lunch bags as Sally scrunched her eyes and furrowed her brows as deep as she could. To even his surprise he heard his girlfriend's now weakened and strained voice shout out from under him-

"Fine!"
She admitted defeat, she had failed. Her voice even sounded deeper and more breathy than usual as she was likely struggling to contain the contents of her extremely bloated stomach to her throat.
Sonic stopped the bombardment of carbs and cholesterol.

"Yeah?"
He sought confirmation for what he just thought he heard.

"I'll eat your stupid food, ergh *oph*… Just get off!"

Sonic slid off the small hill that was the princess' groaning belly, before crouching down to her face. Her hair was sprawled all over her face and her beautiful mug even seemed to glisten in the afternoon sun with a bit of sweat.

"It's a date!"
Sonic smiled before leaning in to give his girl a playful peck on the lips but was stopped as she spitefully let a burp rip right in his face.

______

Doctor Ivo Robotnik sat in his quarters, as he often did these days staring longingly at old reports and schematics of his. It was mere months ago when he was finally winning again. After Years of not being able to succeed where his predecessor had failed Ivo finally had the upper hand… he finally had that blasted hedgehog near his breaking point. He had taken so much from him at that point. Fiona, after having spent time in a romantic relationship with the rodent was back under his employ. He'd put Commander D'coolette in the hospital, seemingly for the rest of his life. While not… entirely of Robotnik's doing there was disorder within New Mobotropolis' monarchy and Bunnie D'coolette: The second greatest physical threat to his empire after Sonic, had been depowered. His greatest achievement however had been that he had the princess… She had shared equal responsibility with the hedgehog in the fall of his counterpart's regime, as well as the stalling of his own rise in this zone. The fact that she was both Maximilian's daughter and more importantly Sonic's love, was just icing on the cake. While he was given the chance to simply kill her he opted to keep her as his robotic slave, both as an establishment of his power and as psychological warfare on his nemesis. He knew that choice would come back to bite him, like always his advantage was swept out from under him. He opened up his old schematics for 'mecha Sally's' upgrades.

"Huh?"
The Eggman cocked his ginger brow.

"I don't recall making her this bulky..."
He thought aloud in his confusion. The model displayed on his holographic screen looked to have triple the circumference she originally did around her core, with her limbs and shoulder pads looking proportional to this new version. Her proportions, she looked… kinda fat, if such a thing we're possible for a being made of metal.

"I know I didn't make her this bulky."
He doubled down. He wanted to further dissect this new model but forced himself to leave his inspection at face value for now.
He dug further back into his logs, searching for the princess' original model from when she was first roboticized and before he improved her.

"Hrm…"
The mad doctor held his chin in contemplation. Her build was now the same as the other. Again he had to pry his eyes away from the specs.

"Even if it were possible for someone else to hack into my network, why would they make a modification so noticeable… and pointless? Hmm… nothing else seems to be out of order."
He narrated to himself under his breath. He stopped to ponder other possibilities before immediately wondering if reality had somehow been altered. While that felt like an extreme conclusion he knew it was absolutely possible, especially if the princess and the rodent were somehow involved. He'd had his own genesis waves, it was an eventuality that either through science or magic someone else would create or (if it were the mobians) more likely stumble upon something similar. The alteration of mecha Sally's design could've been a minor change in addition to more consequential ones he'd been unaware of. Figuring it was the easiest way to begin investigating he pulled up his recognizance footage from the new post the kingdom had at Robotropolis. He had yet to watch it but he had already been informed by his badniks that his two persons of interest had been on the scene. Maybe it would be educational.

The footage played, most of his battalion was fighting back against the mobian soldiers while certain bots were acquiring the loot amidst the chaos. Quickly enough however the hedgehog had arrived with company, the fox, the Rose woman and surprisingly…

"Ohohoh!
Eggman chuckled (unlike Knuckles)
...I don't believe it…"
In his nemesis' trembling arms was the princess, at a size equivalent to his models. Obviously being flesh now she looked even pudgier. While her belly was not as big as Ivo's own he took pleasure in the fact that every other part of her was meatier than every other part of him. Limbs, rear, even their faces. Suddenly Eggman was feeling pretty good about himself. He continued watching as the rodent dropped his corpulent companion off at the station, presumably to speak with those in charge while he and the other two proceeded to destroy most of his armada. Had it not been for what he'd seen mere minutes ago Ivo would have merely taken satisfaction under the assumption that her time as his enforcer had done a number on her mind, but this was all but confirmation that something was re-weaving reality. He had just stumbled upon what was presumably the most humourous of the changes first. The scientist watched until the end in the hopes that he could gather more information, one of his less noticeable drones had remained in the air above as the rest of the surviving robots fled back to the death egg. He sped up the play speed until eventually the accursed couple re-emerged from the building, Ivo zoomed in on the two.

"The rodent looks fine…"
The villain muttered before his eyes just barely caught something. A ring on Sonic's hand, Ivo had never seen him wear jewelry before.

"Oh no…
The ginger groaned.
… I hope those are still engagement rings, I better not have missed the chance to ruin their wedding. Wait a second."

Robotnik realized, maybe these were related to the princess' sudden porkiness. He zoomed in further on their grotesquely large hands to find.

"Oh."
He said in surprise, he thought he'd never see those particular rings again.

"Yeah that's probably it. Idiots."
He concluded. He checked his files and sure enough in his oldest images of the princess she was at a comparably chunky size, not the size he knew she had actually been. With the mystery solved and the realization that while past events must have been rewritten to compensate for the lard the Hedgehog must have pumped into his woman at least it wasn't altering his memory of those past events and with the only variable being Princess Acorn's dress size he wasn't too concerned about the ramifications. There was also the added bonus that if anything, this little gaff of theirs only made Robotnik's job easier. There seemed to be no good reason for Ivo to put the drastic amount of effort it would take to get those rings back from New Mobotropolis, so he opted to simply let it be for now. Now he could feed his curiosity, how did this alternate history's version of himself go about designing Mecha Sally, how significantly had her larger frame impacted his designs..? He brought his screen back to the schematics and leaned in. It was like he was given the chance to see his masterpiece for the first time again.

After being forced to accept Sonic's care for the next hour as she was ridden to the ground, Sally was finally empty enough that she could move around again and the idea of dinner seemed doable to her.

"I think I'm actually digesting even faster now."
Sally deduced bitterly as she stood.

"Aw, your tummy's getting used to you being a super speed piggie~"
Sonic cooed in a mock pet voice.

"Yeah? Well that's done. You're getting what you wanted, change me back."
She commanded.

"Oh, I was actually going to wait until after we ate."

"Why?"
Sally was considering assault an option again.

"Well I want you to try as much stuff as possible today, and your stomach can probably hold ten times what it normally can right now."
Sonic said mostly innocently. Sally cocked her eyebrow and folded her arms, her puffy forearms now had to rest in the soft space between her belly and generous bust.

"Wouldn't you rather have it that way too?"
He inquired with a cocked eye.

"Obviously, I love feeling like a sumo wrestler!"
She answered sarcastically.

"So you want to go after I've done all the erasing? You want to take those calories in permanently, you want everyone to remember seeing you pig out?"
Sonic reasoned, leaning far enough into her chubby face that her cheek tufts were tickling him.

Sally rolled her eyes, arms still folded.
"Fine, let's go."
She grabbed his hand and started power walking out of the forest, she just wanted this over with. Noting how with each step the band of her boots squeezed tightly into her fluid meat.

In victory Sonic gazed upon Sally from behind as she pulled him along, her hips were still the widest part of her. Her body was still something of an hourglass, just a jiggly one that swayed with every step. The hedgehog observed, despite having a few inches of pure lard over top of each glute she still had one of the best butts the young man had ever laid his eyes on. The effect of the increased curves lining her sides and back was heightened by her now unignorable bust which peeked out so far in front of her Sonic could even see them from behind. This effect was also helped by her naturally sultry voice and playfully messy dark red hair that continued to sway, now with the rest of her. Together it all made Sally look more womanly, the hedgehog supposed. Then there were the awkward parts. Sonic observed how small her little tail now looked in comparison to the rest of her, her massive rear had completely pushed it up out of the way as it claimed it's new relevance. Or how her new chubbier cheeks that despite whatever cold or demanding emotion she would constrict her face into would prevent her from looking anything other than adorable, a trait that would be frustrating for someone so often placed in charge of militaries or even a nation's government. It seemed as though her tortilla cheek tufts were only aiding in this issue. Then there was that sagging belly that hid the truth of Sally's well sculpted abdominal muscles underneath, this gelatinous sack made Sally seem a parody of who she really was: a woman known for being the epitome of physical fitness and combat readiness who'd never be caught dead eating the foods he'd since pumped into her. Sonic knew she'd blush madly if given a mirror to truly see herself in this moment. The clashing aspects all in a way complimented each other to Sonic's eye, it spoke to both how much Sonic loved this girl and…

"Man, I guess Sal's just that smokin'. I put seventy pounds on her and she's still one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen… If anything… she looks even better?"
His face belied the surprise he felt from his thoughts there. But it was true, the way Sally's body simultaneously more mature yet jarringly sported clumsy, cute traits made Ms. Acorn just look adorable in Sonic's eyes.

He pondered himself for a moment. Sonic was a free spirit, truth be told he never really would've cared what size a girl was. Though he guessed he never got the chance to put that attitude to the test as throughout his life he'd met very few plush women and none he'd ever had romantic feelings for. Madonna, Sally, (especially) Mina, Fiona, Amy… All examples of the average beauty standard. If Sonic actually preferred larger ladies he guessed he never would've been given the chance to realize it… until now? He scratched his head as he continued following behind Sally.

'There's no way, right?'
Sonic further explored his feelings and confronted the obvious one. Whether 'Mr. free spirit' would ever admit to it he enjoyed having Sally around to keep him in check, to anchor him… at least, most of the time. Personality wise Sonic was already completely aware he went for strong women, though there was a small part of that attraction that stemmed from warped reasons. Sally was confident and extremely capable. An authority figure, a leader. While Sonic was attracted to that in of itself, nothing made him happier than when he could make all that crack. When he could get under Sally's skin, make her lose her composure, make her realize she didn't have anywhere near the amount of control over him that she wanted. He loved making this spy and master tactician get flustered, blush… become submissive.

Maybe it was the transformative aspect of this that appealed to that part of himself. Turning his girlfriend: the Battle ready athlete into the exact opposite of who she was, what she wanted to be into a big fear of hers. Soft, chubby royalty. Making her body unoptimized for any exercise, rather sitting, lying and eating and the inevitable reactions from her that would follow were what he guessed were doing it for him. Right, he would know if he liked a certain body type. Sonic realized himself, despite it adding up he was still weirded out that his kinks would take him in this direction. He still wasn't totally comfortable with the idea of his more than jovial enjoyment of this.

Sally looked behind herself to him, cutting off his train of thought. She suddenly stopped walking and smiled.

"Sonic?"
She looked into his eyes.

"Yeah?"
He kept composure.

"Carry me."

Sonic looked a little surprised.

"Don't want to burn those calories?"
He smirked as he walked beside her.

"Nah. My knees were already sore, my boots are cutting into me with every step and my thighs are rubbing. Carry me."
She extended her thickened arms to him.

Sonic's left hand slid into the slight fold in Sally's back while his right hand was swallowed whole by her derriere. Sonic's fight ending stunt had probably packed another ten pounds onto Sally's already chubby body, Sonic made sure to bend his knees as Sally enthusiastically jumped into him. With what he guessed was 180 pounds dropping into his lean arms Sonic let a grunt escape him, Sally's proud smile grew deeper.

The two had just made it back into the kingdom when Sonic was starting to completely lose his footing, his trembling legs were trying to prevent the couple from both going face first into the gravel trail at fifty kilometres an hour (slow for him, but still).

"You can put me down now."
Sally ordered, clearly satisfied with herself.
Sonic's now shaky arms let the princess down gently on her feet. He leaned over, placing his hands on his knees and wiping sweat from his brow as he struggled to catch his breath.

"What's the matter Sonic? Is having a big, lazy girlfriend more trouble than it's worth?"
She inquired.

"It'll be worth it.."
He reassured in between pants; he took Sally's hand back into his before resigning to a normally paced stroll in his fatigue.

Sally flexed her core and tried to suck in her stomach as best as she could, it was having some effect but nothing was going to make her look anything but husky. She frowned, trying to angle her arm to best cover her middle without making it obvious.

"You'd think with these things rewiring time, a dress or a blouse would've appeared on me or something."
She complained, though she already understood that she and whatever was making physical contact with her was not quite affected like everything else.

"Maybe chubby you is confident in herself."
Sonic said.

"Well right now chubby me is dying from how tight these boots have gotten, we need to stop by my place so I can change."
Sally quickened her pace.

As they trailed into the heart of New Mobotropolis Sally's eyes darted around her, she was scanning to see peoples reactions. Same as before none were disgusted, judgemental or even confused. People simply became excited at their appearance, smiled at them with adoration or pointed for children to tell them who they were. Sally subconsciously relaxed her free arm, letting it enter a natural walking swing. Not long after reading people's reactions Sally began to notice something else surprising. Even back when she was a little girl, before the original Robotnik had taken the kingdom Sally remembered there were very few plus-sized women walking around. The kingdom both then and now had very few citizens whose species meant a fuller figure was healthy, Rotor was pretty much the only one she had ever befriended and most mobians here kept a healthy weight relative to what kind they were. Obviously the years in Knothole where rations were more scarce meant a portion of her generation was completely accustomed to a small diet. Perhaps having been in wartime ever since they had saved the entirety of the kingdom helped further promote physical fitness. It didn't seem like that was as much the case now however.

Sally nudged Sonic's side.
"Sonic, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

"Uhh…
He surveyed their surroundings as they walked.
… I don't think so?"

"Look at the deer over there."
She gave her head a slight nod.

Walking out of a shop was a young deer girl at a comparable age to the two, also a comparable weight to Sally.

She proceeded to gesture to two other heavy-set young girls they could see walking around town. While skinny people were still very much the majority, Sally realized the amount of rail thin girls had dropped noticeably. More girls had some softer curves, wider hips and closed thigh gaps. She even saw some civilians she recognized around town and they weren't quite their size-two selves.

"Huh."
Sonic mused, surprised.

"Guess having a chunky princess loosened up the beauty standards around here… you know we really are heroes."
He joked.

"I'm also guessing that chunky princess having won the war that saved them all helped too. If I helped, I'm guessing new me wasn't out on the field as much at least."
She looked down at her bloated body, both due to her new big bazongas and protruding tummy Sally was now only able to see the tips of her boots as she looked down with upright posture.
Another minute of seeing some size six to ten waists where two to fives should've been passed.
"I feel kind of guilty…"
Sally pulled herself into Sonic's arm.

The blue one snickered, he opened his mouth to remind her that it wasn't the end of their lives and that he'd be reversing it anyway but was stopped just before the first word left his maw.

*Huff* "Hey guys!"
A high pitched and nasally voice called out from behind them.

Recognizing who said voice belonged to Sonic and Sally swivelled, their eyes widened at what they saw.
