One day in November, Ivy Pepper was dolled up in her dress at their speakeasy bar, waiting to ask Freckles to dance on stage with her to practice for the evening show. She listened to the radio at the bar, talking about the upcoming Thanksgiving Day parade full of bunches of big balloons. She tuned in to a station with a talk show host into weird kinks. She heard a rumor on the talk show radio channel from a deviant that certain guys were into showgirls with big "guts". In reality, the talk show host said showgirls with big "butts". The radio frequency faced interference from another channel during that line of dialogue.

Ivy was curious about the prospect of Freckles being into a girl with a big "gut". She experimented and used an air tank in the corner to fill her belly full of air. Moments later, Rocky and Freckles arrived from their outing to collect more alcohol for the speakeasy when they saw a bloated Ivy up on stage. Ivy playfully patted her ballooned tummy and said" Hey Freckles! How do I look? Ready for that Thanksgiving parade?" Freckles blushed and sweated with a bashful smile and slightly nodded his head. At the same time, Rocky glanced sideways and stared at Freckles with a raised eyebrow.
