The meal arrived shortly after, and the girls had a field day. Katara would have liked to think she was more refined than Toph, but she ate exactly the same way: as if she were a starved wanderer who had spotted her first food in a week. Toph still managed to put away her food faster than Katara, however. For one thing, Toph was a big eater. If Katara was sure an amount of food would fit down her throat, it was too small a bite for Toph. Taking her eggs after some tentative feeling around, she cracked three dozen into a large wooden bowl, twirled the mass of protein and fat around a bit with her hand, then drank it in one monstrous chug. Toph regularly ordered eggs throughout her meal and treated this style of eating them as a beverage. Katara was indeed served a brick of chocolate, and after slapping Toph's hand away from it, greedily immersed herself in rich, creamy, sugar-laden bliss for a few perfect moments. By the end of the meal, both girls hands and faces were covered in food, and neither seemed altogether full, despite their five (six for Toph, who squeezed in an extra one, having lapped Katara in eating pace once) courses and swollen bellies.

"Toph, I have -urp-" Katara covered her mouth and tried to quietly expel the gas. "...I have an idea! While I was eating my chocolate-"
"I can't believe you didn't let me have a few bites of that!" Toph shook her fist at Katara.
"Nevermind the choco-brick, for the last time! I realized that I had experienced this kind of problem before; Ty Lee was able to block my chi by striking my pressure points! Maybe she could help diagnose our problem!"

"What problem? Its a new preference, if anything." Toph's bare belly button was poking out from her green robes, stretched and distended from her massive meal. "Buuuuuuraaaap!" An extremely loud and rather deep sounding belch issued from her tiny, yet bloated body. Katara pinched her nose.

"How can you be so cool with all of this?!" Katara shouted, her voice odd sounding with her nose pinched.
Toph struggled to her feet. "This is how! I get to stuff myself silly all day long," Toph raised one hand. The sound of ground being uprooted and launched accompanied by varied screams of surprise from outside the inn were heard. "and what happens? My bending becomes more powerful!" Toph grabbed Katara's arm and pulled her to her feet. Katara let out an "uuugh...." As her stomach rubbed against the table and shook a bit from the rapid movement. Her eyes were half-closed with lethargy from the meal.

"Feel me!" Toph demanded of Katara.
"Wha?!" Katara's eyes shot open, no longer dazed.
"Touch my gut! See how much fat I've got there now? Now all of the vibrations I feel with my feet travel also shake up my gut! This must be how people feel when they get a new pair of glasses! All of the vibrations I feel are amplified and sharpened! And now, the rest of me is starting to get flabby! I'll be able to see even better!"

"Well that's good for you Toph but I-" Katara grabbed her left arm with her right hand, clearly embarrassed.
"Stop being so self-conscious. You can't lie to me and say you don't like it, I'm the same as you! You'll actually have fun with this if you don't grudge yourself a couple of pounds!"
Toph extended a hand to pat Katara's big belly, but to her surprise, it was surprisingly small! Even with the swelling caused by her meal, Toph's hands detected a relatively slender waist wrapped with a thin layer of fat. "Wait a sec; my vibrations don't lie, what's going on here?"

Katara tried to pull away from the little girl that was currently groping her, but she was stronger than she looked. "If not there...." Toph mused to herself before putting her greasy hands onto Katara's chest, causing her to jump as she began to squeeze. "No...definitely bigger, but not what I'm lookin' for..."

"TOPH! Stopthatthisinstant" Katara half yelled, half whispered, trying to find a pitch that would outline her severity but wouldn't draw the attention of the others dining in the hotel restaurant.

"Just a second sweetness, I'm trying to find why your vibrations are so big....ooooh, duh!" Toph grinned. Her hand shot downward to Katara's waist, and clamped down on the round, jiggly flesh that was Katara's rear end. Katara had gained at least 20 pounds over the last few days, and almost all of it had gone to her hips. Her robe was now fighting to cover a maternal looking pear shape. The garment was stretched rather taught over her body. "You don't need to be able to see to imagine what you look like in motion, sweet cheeks!"

Katara had blushed so severely that Toph almost saw it. ".......We. are. going. to. see. Ty. Lee." Katara shoved Toph away from her and stormed out of the restaurant.
"That's it sweet cheeks! Work those vibrations!" Toph shouted after her gleefully, wiggling her toes and enjoying Katara's discomfort immensely.
