"I'll take the bus," Robert replied sullenly, as he put his empty cereal bowl in the sink.

"See, mom? Everything's fine," Amanda said, as she walked outside to her car. She was shocked when she got out to the driveway to find a brand new BMW waiting for her. The 17 year old unlocked her car, hearing the familiar chirp of the alarm disengaging. She happily opened the door and got inside.

The car lurched back and forth, as Amanda squeezed her 300 pound-plus body into the small luxury car. She started the engine and took off, loving how she felt behind the wheel. Apparently in this reality, the celebrity status she had received from being on the cover of bodybuilding magazines, along with competing in powerlifting meets, had given her the ability to buy whatever she wanted.

"Yeah, sure," Kelly replied, adjusting her glasses a little bit before grabbing her things off the floor. "We'll come with you." The three girls followed Amanda into the nearest bathroom and locked the door behind them.

"So, what did you want to show us?" Bethany asked, looking up at her large friend. Amanda produced the gun from her backpack and all three girls jumped back a little.

"No, it's okay," she said, as she adjusted the gun's settings. "Okay. I know you probably won't believe me, but this gun is the reason I'm as big as I am now."
