"I love you anyway." he said, patting the enormous pile of blubber that was Shenzi's belly and then licking her face before digging into the meat. Shenzi couldn't help but blush a little at that. She was so glad to have a mate who would love her, no matter how obese and flabby she was, and who she could trust and love back. Now she regretted her initial refusal to let him eat more than ever, and once he'd finished his meal and was satisfied for the time being, she said: "Oh, Majiti, I'm so sorry for how I've acted." Majiti was very surprised to hear Shenzi apologizing, but he smiled kindly as she continued: "If only I'd realized how perfect you really were sooner. Can you forgive me?" "I certainly can." he said. "Good to know. I love you." she said. "Though maybe you still need some meat..." "No, I'm good for now." he said. "However, I found something in this particular kill." "What?" asked Shenzi. Majiti explained: "It's a gem. A magical one, by the looks of it, and you know what?" "What?" asked Shenzi. "I not only love you anyway, but I actually prefer you this way. I've come to realize, additionally, that the fatter you are, the more gorgeous you become." "You prefer me this way, and think my being fat makes me attractive?!" Shenzi exclaimed, excited and elated all of a sudden.

"Indeed," Majiti said. "Which is why I'm going to use this gem to make you fatter than ever, and it will be done so in a way that makes sure you continue to fatten up nonstop, though the magical properties will see to it you can still breathe and such, and won't have any health problems or heart attacks or anything like that. You'll be permanently immune to and exempt from them, no matter how much blubber piles on. You'll be able to move, too. I wouldn't want to incapaciate or injure you, after all. But you'll be fatter and fatter by the second, all the same! You'll be my beloved mountain of a blubbery beauty." "Now, just a minute..." Shenzi began. As much as she loved him and was flattered to hear he loved her as a big, fat bitch, she was already fatter than a hippo! She wouldn't want to get even a bit fatter. But Majiti worked his magic, literally, and Shenzi could only watch as the gem did its work and she got fatter and fatter by the second. Soon enough, she was twice as fat as she'd been before, then three times as fat, then four, then five. By the time she was six times fatter, Majiti suddenly stopped to consider that this could cause the ground beneath them to crumble and their home to break. So he did a wave of the gem and put a stop to the sequence, then threw it away. All else worked as he said it would, though, and Shenzi was easily six times fatter than she was before. "My God, you are so beautiful..." Majiti gaped as he looked at the unbelievably fat Shenzi. Shenzi was full of disbelief, too.

What was to happen next?
