Before the still dazed Natsu could even comprehend what was happening, Lucy had another large platter of food placed before Natsu, whose face almost went pale upon the mere sight of it all. "...I think you can still handle some more," said Lucy as she grabbed a piece of fried chicken, ready to stuff it down Natsu's mouth.
"Ugh, Lucy, I really don't think I can eat anymore..." responded Natsu wearily as that look he gets whenever getting motion sick began to grow over his face.
"You think this is too much? Just wait and see what you're up against at that competition. If you can't handle an appetizer like this, then how do you expect to win?" responded Lucy sharply.
Groaning, Natsu sighed, still cursing Gray in the back of his head for apparently being psychic and inadvertently trapping Natsu in a competition he had no idea existed. After a moment, Natsu complied and opened his mouth begrudgingly as Lucy promptly stuffed the chicken down his mouth. He chewed at a much slower rate, still far too full to go his usual rate, but he continued to massage his distended gut, in an effort to sate the sharp pain that was ailing the young fire mage. After gulping down the chicken, Lucy grabbed a few pieces of tempura and shoved them right in Natsu's less than awaiting mouth.
As Natsu tried to chew the multitude of tempura still in his mouth, Happy once again opened his mouth and gestured towards it eagerly at Lucy. Rather than tell him off yet again, Lucy grabbed a rice ball and chucked it at Happy's face, causing him to fall flat on his back, with a rice ball square in the center of his jaws. Though that probably hurt a bit, food is food, so Happy shrugged and gulped it down with gusto.
Gulping down the tempura, Natsu tried to catch his breath, only to find yet another rice ball shoved down his mouth. Rolling his eyes, he continued to massage his ever aching belly as he gulped down more and more. The pressure was starting to become a little too much for the fire mage as his stomach continued to distend outward, to the point where his previous beachball sized balloon belly was starting to grow more like that of a medicine ball.
So before Lucy could stuff another piece of food into Natsu's mouth, he held his hand up for a moment and stopped her. "Why'd you stop?" asked an impatient Lucy. Natsu, still a little green in the gills, said, "Ugh, one sec Lucy, but...I REEEAAALLY gotta burp. Like, right now..."
Rolling her eyes, Lucy scoffed and said, "C'mon, be gross on your own time. Right now, we gotta train."
"I know that, but I'm dead serious. I feel like if I don't get this gas outta my belly right this second, I may legitimately explode." Raising an eyebrow, Lucy sighed then said, "Fine. Just get it outta your system so we can get back to work." She then plugged her ears and walked out of the room for a moment, taking Lucy with her in case any fire came up with it.
As soon as she did, Natsu smirked and glanced at the door to the outside. Hoisting himself to his feet, Natsu attempted to sneak out and spare himself any more stuffing by Lucy's hand, but all that moving around, did in fact jostle the pent-up gas brewing within his stomach. Before he could so much as take five steps past his seat, a massive belch forced itself out of Natsu's mouth, lasting several forceful seconds and shockingly no fire attached. The sheer force of it caused Natsu to stumble back into his chair, and by the time it ended, Lucy and Happy returned to find Natsu sitting right back where he started, much to his dismay.
"Wow, good one, Natsu!" cheered Happy. Natsu's face sweat dropped with embarrassment.
Shaking her head, Lucy sighed and said, "Feel better, you big baby? Good. Now, may we continue now?"
