Katara hefted herself over to Ty Lee. Having just recently stuffed herself full of oily rice, her bending powers were somewhere close to their full capacity. Katara let her hand rest on Ty Lee's wrist. A clean blue light briefly came to life underneath her hand, and Ty Lee's expression relaxed. "Wow!" Ty Lee got up and flexed her wrist back and forth in front of her face, completely free of pain. "Now Ty Lee, you need to undo the chi blocks on yourself and Suki! It starts out innocently enough but the next thing you know you're a total food addict!" Katara tried not to stand too close to Ty Lee after the treatment, aware that she still hadn't bathed since before the boat trip.

Ty Lee's joy at being healed seemed to fade a bit upon hearing this. "That's terrible! I'll get right to it!" Ty Lee's exposed stomach growled behind her words, and her expression glazed over a bit, as if she was smelling something savory."....umm...but first a snack break! I'm starved!"

Katara's eyes widened. "Ty Lee, no!" Toph, now more than ready for another meal, quickly cut Katara off. "Now you're talkin'! Take me to the best restaurant in Kiyoshi!" Ty Lee licked her lips and shook her head. "Forget dinner! A big plate of Kiyoshi desserts for me!" the acrobat then lithely sprinted from the temple.

"Hey! Wait up!" Toph began to waddle out of the temple after her, worked up over the idea of another pile of food to gorge on.
"Ty Lee! Wait!" Katara shouted and also gave chase, concerned that it would only take a short time before even they were too plump to reverse the chi block on themselves. Katara also made a beeline for the temple's door.

Katara and Toph reached the standard single-frame door at the same time, and both attempted to heave themselves through it at the same time. Toph attempted to get her bare, shaking belly around Katara's jutting rump by turning sideways, but this was exactly Katara's idea. The waterbender's rear end squished into the doorframe, pushing her flabby but mostly unobtrusive gut into Toph's much more developed midsection. Their momentum only served as the push needed to get into such a tightly-packed position, and both girls grunted with discomfort as their sweat mingled, their respective girths jamming them against each other.

"Back off, sugar queen!" Toph tried to wriggle her hips to unwedge her stomach. "Toph, you are not going to sabotage this because you like to overeat!" Katara raised her arms and tried to pull back against Toph's bulging midriff. "Quit stinking up the place!" Toph spat. Katara inhaled sharply, extremely agitated. "We wouldn't even be stuck if you didn't let yourself become such a dirty little piglet!" Katara brought her hands to her rear and tried to shift some of the doughy flesh through her stretch pants. Toph scowled. "Look who's talking! I hope Ty Lee grows a nice big potbelly right off the bat like me! If she's going to get a bad case of hippocow-butt like you it'll take forever for you to get off her case!" Katara snapped back with her usual gripe. "You can't possibly think we should live our lives like this?!" Beads of sweat poured down Katara's forehead, slicking strands of her long hair against her cheek. Toph, no longer calm enough to have this conversation yet again with Katara, craned her neck forward, and belched directly into her uptight friend's face. Katara coughed and stuck her tongue out, recovering quicker than before, having unknowingly grown more accustomed to her friend's lack of manners. "Real mature! How would you feel right now if I decided to rip a huge....." Katara stopped and turned her softened features to the interior of the temple. "....wait...where did Suki go?!"

Toph heaved her stomach out of the doorframe, tumbling outside. Planted on the ground with a cloud of dirt around her, Toph grinned at her friend. "Where do you think she'd be at a time like this?"
