The day was a peaceful one here in the community of Forestville, with some of the deer's and antelopes prancing around the forest, mother bears and they're cubs hunting for fish along the riverbed. Birds of all kinds are perched on branches, on the ground searching for some worms and food, or in nests to take care of their young ones. As you can already tell, nature seems to having one pleasant day, no disturbances in the forest, no hunters or tourists, just some peace and quiet, with only the sound of the forest bristling through the bushes, pine needles and leaves like a gentle gale breeze... Well, except for one disturbance that is.

The disturbance was being caused by a feral husky with blazing whitish blue eyes and red collar that's strapped around its neck that has a bronze four leaf clover shaped dog tag that has the name 'Brutis' printed on it. He barked and howled as he ran down the forest like a train, trying to catch a figure that looks as if he's trying to get away from the dog or something. Could it be that the dog was hungry, and wanted to eat the running figure like it was a walking dinner, or was it because the figure did something horrendous and the dog wanted to chase it down to make it right? Well actually, it's not as exciting or practical as you thought it was.

The figure was that of a 5'11 tall (180 centimetres) anthro rabbit that has light Sienna coloured fur that in a way makes you think of light chocolate. With gentle blue eyes, a large tuft of hair that appears on his forehead, white fur that appears on the bottom of his feet and at the bottom half of his tail, and long ears that are always on a rabbit. His clothing appears to be that of a light turquoise T-Shirt, with an orange vest that clearly has symbols going down on the left and right side of front and back which show food. From delicious cabbages on the front right, to irresistible pieces of chocolate cake that has white icing on it, and as for the ones on the back, care for some fries that appear on the back right side, along with some lollipops on the back left with a long carrot going down the middle between the two? He also wears a pair of blue shorts, but there's nothing special about them. As for his unique traits, well, the most obvious one is that he's got quite a rather large belly; just barely enough for it to hang over his shorts and making the button strain a little. Along with the fact his shirt does seem to have trouble trying to cover the lower part of his belly, and from his height with his belly size, he looks like he weighs about 240lbs (109.1 kilograms if you use that kind of weight system). Anyways, let's get back to the story shall we?

The rabbit is Max Longear, a really kind and loveable rabbit, who loves to play with his friends and help others, but is also the kind of rabbit who always seems to have a weakness when it comes to food, specifically cabbage. But you can already tell, after all, Max's got a little bit of a belly on him, which explains why while he's running, he's carrying a large dark green garbage bag that has small air holes in it, in the bag is bout nearly fifty cabbages that he stole from a farmer nearby, the air holes are there so that the cabbages can receive oxygen and not go bad. The rabbit just continues to run and run, hoping to get away from Brutis who is starting to gain in on him. "Darn it," he said, panting after each word because of losing energy. "Why is it that every time I get some cabbage from the farmer's field, Brutis tries to catch me like I'm sort of criminal?!"

The answer is pretty obvious to Max, but whenever it involves food, he just seems to forget that answer. What also shows that Max loves to eat is that even though he is running away from the dog as best he can, he grabs a cabbage from the bag every couple of minutes and eats it down, making his belly a bit bigger with each cabbage he eats, and draining more energy out of his body. "Uh oh," he noticed that he added another seven pounds (3.2kg) on him from his just recent snack binge, now his belly is barely too big for his pants, making them strain a bit. "This doesn't look good." he turned around to see that Brutis is now closing in on him like a missile. "Oh no," he yelled as he started to run faster. "Now this is bad!! I got to get away from Brutis before I become a canine buffet!!!"

But running faster didn't increase his chances of escaping much, thanks to the fat and pounds he added onto his belly, he was having a hard time of trying to get away from the dog while at the same time trying his best not to fall over onto his gut. And it only got worse when Max came to a dead stop near a steep hill that's bout forty feet long downward and at the bottom is a twenty foot drop, leaving the rabbit trapped. "Oh no," Max said as he turned around, munching down some more cabbages out of nervousness and fear, and making his belly more visible with the shirt exposing bout nearly half of his fat gut. "I'm trapped!"

He turned around to see Brutis started to slowly walk towards him with a growl that shows an immense anger at Max for stealing all of the farmer's cabbages, the big rabbit just simply stepped back slowly from the husky. "N-nice d-doggy," he said, now starting to get really scared. "Listen, if you don't attack me, I'll give you some n-nice delicious cabbages." Knowing a dog, he prefers to have meat over cabbages. Now Brutis just growls even louder and moves closer and closer towards Max, forcing him to move even more back. "B-Brutis, you don't want to eat me would you, look at me, I'm all s--- WOOAH!!!" Max took one too many steps back and has fallen down the hill, but ironically thanks to his belly; he's not getting hurt or bruised. "Getting... Sick," he yelled as he continued to roll down the hill like a boulder. "I think I'm going to lose my lunch, thanks to this!!!"

_ _

At the bottom of the drop is a dirt road where people usually walk along as means to admire the view of Forestville, with some signs along the side of the road. Walking along the road was a 5'9 (175 centimetres), 121lbs (55 Kilograms) tall male anthro cheetah, He has short brown hair that has two large tuffs going at downward curve left and right on his forehead, brown eyes, and has a purple triforce mark on the back of his left hand (reasons why he has one is hard to explain). The clothes he wears is just a simple black jeans jacket and red pants, nothing special really. "Damn," he said as he swiped some sweat of his forehead, "this is one heck of a hot day, I wish there was a cloud that will cover the sun."

He continued walking down the path till he stopped in the middle of the path, standing right next to a sign that hangs on the side of the cliff. The sign showed a chubby blue Chinese dragon that had green eyes and yellow belly scales, gorging down on Chinese food, egg rolls, rice, cooked vegetables, and above the dragon was the words in bold black 'Eat Up San'. The cheetah looked at the ground and noticed that for some reason he was in a shadow that was in the shape of a fat rabbit. "What the," he said, rather confused about the shape of the shadow and how it's getting bigger rapidly, he looked up and immediately said with a 'what the f**k expression'. "Aw crap."

In an instant a loud thud can be heard throughout the entire forest, it was so loud that it managed to rustle a lot of leaves in trees that are as far as twenty feet away, and some tourists thought it was a boulder falling down a mountain. But in reality it was only Max landing on the ground with a large velocity, and ironically, squashed onto the young cheetah. "Phew," Max said as he pet his large belly and grabbed the bag that landed right next to him. "I thought I was going to be a goner, thanks for saving me from certain doom." He looked down at the cheetah that's underneath him, the dude appears to be unconscious from the impact of Max's weight, lying down on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, but thankfully, the young cheetah isn't hurt at all, he's just simply dazed and if this were a cartoon, he would literally see stars and birds going around his head as if there was gravitational pull around him. Max's cheeks blushed so red that it looks like he had red paint covering his cheek fur. "Oops," Max said as he put his hand behind his face, a little embarrassed. "Sorry about that Mr. Cheetah, I'll take you back to my home, so that you get better." He picked the young cheetah up and set him on his belly on Max's left shoulder, wrapping his left arm around his legs so that the cheetah won't fall off while holding the cabbage bag on his right shoulder, and took the cheetah, the bag and his monstrous appetite to his house.

_ ~~~*20 Minutes later*~~~ _

_ _

_ After having to carry the young cheetah and the bag full of cabbages for a while, Max finally reached his house. The entrance to his home is a small round hole that's at the bottom of a small hill that's roughly a bit over four feet tall, with the hole being one and a half feet tall and wide, it's just barely big enough for Max to squeeze through as from the looks of it, it's only big enough for someone who weighs less than 250lbs (113.6 kg), anyone who weighs more than that will probably be stuck._

"Phew," he said as he set the cheetah down and pushed the cabbage stuffed bag through the small hole. "That sure took a lot of energy!" Max then smiled a bit and picked up the cheetah yet again as he pushed the cheetah head first with ease, he then entered through the hole, his fat belly feeling snug as he slowly wiggled his way through. "Dang it," he said again struggling a bit to get through. "Either this hole is naturally getting smaller or someone purposely made it smaller!"

After a few more seconds Max finally managed to squeeze through the hole on his own, and crawled a bit more to get his legs in. "There," he said and smiled as he crawled while carrying the cheetah till there's enough room in the short hallway for him to stand. When he's out of the hallway, he just petted his own belly and said to himself, "looks like there's no worry for me to get stuck for now." His home is pretty simple, side the hallway being less than three feet tall when close to the entrance hole, the rest of the home is about nine feet tall, more than enough for the two to be comfy. Since Max's home is underground, the walls and the ceiling (well let's just call them that) have thick roots that are stemming from the trees above ground, some are going through just the walls or the ceiling, but there are others that just go straight down from ceiling to wall, and when you look at it from a certain perspective, it's a very stylish decoration.

On the right side of the room is the kitchen, which has a wooden round table with three chairs with a lamp hanging overhead, a counter to the right that holds some jars and spice racks, a cabinet below the counter that holds some cooking pots and pans, a sink to wash the dishes manually and also an oven on the far right side of the counter to make the food. There's also a cupboard filled with junk food and sweets along with many other ingredients in the top half of the cupboard while the bottom is full of dishes, plates and glasses, and last but definitely not least is the fridge that's to the right of the oven, standing bout six feet tall, regular fridge, nothing special.

On the left side of the room is sort of like a living room, with a basic sofa that's big enough for four people, a low coffee table that's made out of maple and stands bout nearly a feet tall, a bookshelf that's full of books ranging from fantasy to mystery, an armchair next to the sofa, and some pictures of some events that happened in the past.

Max walked over to the sofa and set the young cheetah down to let him get a good rest, unfortunately Max's belly grumbled very loudly cause it was a sign that Max is hungry for food. The grumble was more then enough for the young cheetah to wake up, "Dang," he said as he sat and rubbed his eyes. "That was some sleep, a rabbit like boulder landing on me, something tells me I should lay off the soda before bed." When he regained some vision in his eyes after the nap he took, he realized that what happened earlier was not a dream.

When he looked up at Max, the big rabbit kind of blushed and said with an embarrassing tone. "Sorry bout landing on your earlier Mr. Cheetah, I kind of slipped when I tried to ran away from the farmer's dog, hope I didn't hurt you at all."

The cheetah smiled, "Don't worry about it," he said as he poked Max's belly. "Your fat belly managed to soften the impact for me, sides I've had this happened to me before so I've gotten used to it." He grinned a little to Max at that.

Max smiled back and held out his hand to 'Mr. Cheetah', "I'm Max Longear," he introduced himself. "How about you sir, what's your name?"

The cheetah shook his hand with a smile. "I'm Andrew Kenshader," he said to Max. "But most people call me Ace." He then asked Max. "By the way, why were you running away from the farmer's dog anyway?"

Max walked over to the entrance hole till he had to crawl, he grabbed the bag that was left next to the hole and headed back over to Ace. "Well Ace," he said and opened the bag, dumping dozens and dozens of cabbages onto the coffee table. "I was getting some cabbages to make supper, and unfortunately the dog found out before I managed to sneak out." He picked up one of them and started to chew on it, smiling as he savoured the taste in his mouth and swallowed it, petting his belly proud. "What can I say, I love cabbages!"

Ace couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Well you know," Ace said and grinned as he poked Max's soft belly again. "I'm a very good cook; I can make all kinds of foods with any ingredient, including cabbages." He just simply winked at that.

Max's ears perked up instantly at the words of 'very good cook', "Really," he said and looked at Ace. His tummy made an even louder rumble, like it was telling Ace to make delicious foods. Max laughed and said to Ace "looks like my belly wants some of your cooked food!"

Ace couldn't help but laugh as well. "Well if that's what your tummy wants," he said and stood up, walking over to the kitchen. "Then I'll comply!" He grabbed some ingredients from the fridge, cupboard and the counter, as well as some cooking appliances, and started to cook. Since he's in cheetah form, it probably won't take too long before the table will be covered with delicious food.

_ _

_ ~~~*An Hour Later*~~~ _

The table is almost completely covered in food, but there's not as much food as you think there is because of the small table size, The mini sized feast is comprised of two plates having sandwiches, one plate having a tower comprised of six pancakes, smothered in maple syrup with whipped cream on top, a baked blueberry pie with a hint of cinnamon, and a plate having two dozen chocolate chip cookies. When Max gazed upon the cooked food Ace had made in such a fast time, his stomach couldn't help but made the loudest gurgling ever. Max blushed at that and said to Ace as he sat down, "Guess that's stomach talk for thank you Ace," he put a pancake, a slice of blueberry pie and a couple of sandwiches onto his plate, sliced a piece of pie with his fork, and took a taste at it. "Wow Ace, you really are an excellent cook!!" He smiled greatly as he continued to chow down on the food, but being polite enough to use the utensils cause of company.

Ace smiled. "Well I don't like to brag," grabs a sandwich and takes a bite at it, savouring the taste and swallowing it, giving his barely existing belly a good pat. "But I am I usually cook for very good friends." Ace holds out his hand towards Max. "If you like to be my friend that is."

Max was simply touched by that, it's not often that someone he knows for only a very short amount of time, it's also very touching since Max was a bit responsible by landing on Ace. Max took Ace's hand and shook it, with a smile. "I always like to meet new friends," he said as he continued to chow down the food, putting more on his plate with Ace eating some of his food, only a tiny bit slower then Max. Both of their bellies grew and grew with every few chomps they took, with the chair that Max is sitting on already creaking heavily and his big belly pressing against the edge of the table as he keeps getting fatter and fatter. The chair that Max is sitting on also starts to show signs of straining, the legs are starting to look like they're bending, and it starts to make small creaking noises as Max gets bigger from his eating, obviously Max doesn't mind though, as he continues to eat the feast Ace made as his belly gets bigger.

_ _

_ ~~~*Half an hour later*~~~ _

_ _

Bout all of the tables contents were gone within half an hour. Ace stopped eating bout twenty minutes ago, so he only looks like he now weighs in at 190lbs (86.4 kg), his belly way more noticeable as its bulges out of Ace's shirt, probably because his shirt size is smaller than Max's. Max on the other hand ate the other half of the food within the half hour and it looks like he weighs in at 350lbs (159.1 kg). When he got up and stretched a bit, we truly see how big he is. His belly is now almost twice as big as it originally was at the beginning of this story, with it really hanging over his shorts, hanging over a foot above the ground when he stands and he also has three noticeable rolls on his back directly above his short. Surprisingly though the chair is still holding on, even though it's close to breaking. "Ah," he said with a smile as he patted his large gut. "That is one of the best meals I ever had!" He then looked over at Ace, who just finished washing the dishes that are clear of food and placed them back in the cupboards. "You're a really excellent cook Ace; you're bout as great as my friend Martin!"

Ace is now the one who's blushing like a blooming rose, "W-well," he chuckled nervously as he places his paws behind his head and scratches it. "I do try to make delicious food for my buddies." He pets his exposed spotted belly and looks at Max with slight curiosity. "So who is Martin anyway, you've talked about an adventure you had with him during the meal but you never told me much about him."

Max smiles as he started talking about Martin. "He and I have been best friends ever since we we're little kids, back then I still loved to eat as much as I do today, and have been always getting a large belly thanks to the habit. One day bout seven years ago after I finished eating nearly all of the vegetables in Farmer Bleu's greenhouse he uses to keep animals like me out, I tried my best--"

Ace immediately stopped Max out of confusion, since the big rabbit said that the greenhouse was used to keep animals out, it had to make him wonder how Max got in. "Wait Max," he asked Max to get everything straight with a curious look on his face. "If the greenhouse was made to prevent guys like you from coming in, then how did you get in?"

Max chuckled nervously at that question, almost as if how he did it embarrassed him. "W-well you see," he shyly admitted. "I noticed that the ground below the greenhouse was softer, so I managed to make a small ditch right below the glass wall where I easily crawled through." Max then got up and went to the fridge to bring out a small cake that's already got a half-eaten up and sat down on his chair and started eating on the cake. "Unfortunately when I tried to crawl out, I gotten so fat that I gotten stuck tightly and couldn't get out, but as luck would have it Martin was walking near Farmer Bleu's place, when I yelled out for help Martin came to the rescue and saved me from certain doom like a superhero!!" After he said that he did a superhero pose, unfortunately the shift he did to do that pose along with the extra pound he added on after eating the cake managed to put enough weight on the chair to have its rear legs snap like twigs. His thud was so loud that it rattled the dishes in the cupboards, and it also made the dishes on the table to bounce a little, but at least nothing was broken. "I guess Martin was right," he said as Ace helped him out, smiling sheepishly. "At this size I can probably measure on the rector scale!"

"And you'll probably measure at 1.8," an unknown voice had said from the entrance. Ace and Max immediately looked to see who it was, and from the way Max was smiling, he was a good guy. It was a 5'7 (170.18 cm) tall Pine Marten weasel that has pale golden-brown fur, greyish-green eyes, a long bushy tail and is actually pretty slim but with a slightly noticeable belly, weighing in at around 160lbs (72.7 kg). He's wearing a Lilac coloured t-shirt and blue jean shorts, which is nothing special, he also appears to have an old style Polaroid instant camera that's from the 1980's, a Polaroid Spirit 620 and it looks like it's still brand new even though it's twenty years old, once he got into Max's house, he noticed Ace very clearly. "Hi Max, who's this fellow," He asked the rotund rabbit with a slight chuckle. "I take it he's another one of your newest friends?"

"Martin," Max smiled and got up on his own two feet with a little help from Ace, walking towards Martin while holding his belly with his left hand to keep himself steady, and gave him one of the tightest hugs Martin had ever received while lifting him up into the air. "It's so great to see you!"

Martin couldn't help but smile as he given a hug back to Max... Well, as much as he could with Max's size and all. "It's great to see you to buddy," as Max put down Martin, he looked at Ace and asked the fat bunny again. "Who is he again, I don't believe you told me his name yet?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Martin," Ace said as he walked his way over to the weasel and shook his hand, they're bellies pressing against each other slightly which shows how chubby they have gotten thanks to Max's influence. "I'm Andrew Kenshader, but I'm usually called Ace."

_ _

"It's great to meet you to Ace," Martin said with a small smile. "It's a bit rare for Forestville to have visitors; let alone us."

"Well, I never really did intend to come here actually," Ace told Martin. "I actually was walking on a pathway that is close to Forestville; because I've heard in a brochure that the place was very quiet and beautiful." Max and Martin kind of looked perplexed, they never really heard of this brochure about Forestville considering the fact that this place isn't really all that exciting to them; plus Forestville doesn't really have much of a business that would get much tourists except for its seasonal county fair. "Okay-okay, I may have over exaggerated the brochure but it still given me enough interest to check out the place."

Well that is great and all," Martin said, still a little puzzled. "But that still doesn't explain how you and Max met and became friends."

"Let's just say Max saved me after I got squashed by a big, brown, and soft rabbit-like boulder." he smirked a bit as he poked Max's large belly; it wobbled quite a bit as Martin snickered after realizing in an instant what he meant.

The loveable rabbit blushed like crazy, "Hey," he said sheepishly. "I-it wasn't my fault that I got caught sneaking off with the farmer's food and Brutis tried to catch me!" The three then relaxed on the couch, as they're combined weights made the couch do creaking sounds and had the cushions sank a little under the three. "What brings you here Martin," Max asked him as he wrapped his left arm around his shoulder. "It's rare for you to bring your camera over here."

Martin picked up the local newspaper 'The Forestville Daily' that was on the table and showed the front page to the two. According to a front page story "#52 Now Means Lots of Food" written by Ginger O'Reilly; the rich gluttonous president of real-estate firm Lenax, Lionel Crane of Daychen; who appears to be a 6'3 (190.50cm) 450lbs (204.5kg) St. Bernard has recently finished building one of the largest storage buildings in the entire region. The storage building in question is basically a 200ft tall 400ft wide and 60oft around building that houses a single giant room that will hold tonnes and tonnes of food and all kinds kept in a special temperature controlled room and is often sprayed from the emergency sprinklers with a special chemical called 'Yargenol' that will make sure the foods never get spoiled or rotten; that's like a special dream for food lovers. "I thought that this might interest you buddy," Martin said has he handed him the copy. "Since I know of your intense love with food; plus considering on how much food there probably will be in there, I thought it would be too good of an offer to pass up on."

Max immediately took the paper with jackrabbit speed, his ears perking up with excitement when he heard the phrase 'lots of food', he read through the article in a laser like focus and in an instant after finishing reading, he had the expression of being in pure bliss. His belly gurgling loudly in delight; the sight of drool coming out of his mouth, and with all that, you can practically imagine that hearts are floating around his head. "Oh city of Daychen," he said in a love-like trance. "How much I love you for making this storage building!"

_ _

"Daychen?" Ace said with a surprise. "How interesting, I actually live in that city, it's 12 kilometres south-east of Forestville and it is a pretty big city."

"You live in Daychen," Martin asked Ace, but before you he could finish his sentence, a faint memory suddenly light up in his mind. "I remember who you are now, your Andrew Eclipse Kenshader, one of the youngest millionaires in the entire province of Nebiahaso, founder and the president of REEL, Research Echo Energy of Life!!" Martin is completely flabbergasted that someone of Ace's status was right here in Max's home, Ace was sort of embarrassed that his status was revealed as he never really intended for the two to know, while Max was just plain clueless at what the tubby weasel was talking about. "But wait," Martin said again, kind of looking perplexed. "Aren't you... human?"

Max looked perplexed at what Martin said, since clearly Ace is a cheetah. Ace clearly was blushing red at the cheeks... Actually, since Ace's fur is yellow, he would technically be blushing orange like having basketball for cheeks. "Guess even out here I'm a bit of a celebrity," he said sheepishly. "Yeah I'm human in reality, but..." Since Max and Martin aren't aware of his special abilities, explaining those abilities is about as easy as rocket science. "Let's just say I'm not the average human." He chuckled nervously.

"I'll say," Martin said in big astonishment as he looked at Ace all over and started poking at him like a scientist examining a new species. "I have never met a shape shifter before, let alone my best friend being friends with one!"

"I didn't know Mr. Ace was a shape shifter," Max said and gave off a jolly laughter. "I just thought he was a normal guy who as fate would have I used as a cushion!" In an instant he remembered about the storage building. "Speaking of which," he got up, his belly jiggling vigorously like jolly Santa Claus. "We really need to get to that storage building, don't want to have the food go to waste!"

Martin nodded as he was the first to crawl out of the entrance hole, holding his Polaroid camera in his right paw to keep it steady and popped out of the hole with a bit of relative ease. "Okay," he said with a smirk, "who's the next to come out?"

"My turn!" the rabbit just bounced up and down with total glee as he rammed his way towards the hole like a locomotive train at full steam, which considering his mass it does make him fit that description to a tee. You think with a rabbit that big he would just simply destroy the entrance; unfortunately with the wall of dirt around the entrance being a feet thick, and that he lost speed as he got closer to the entrance; when he smashed right into the entrance, the only thing was that apparent to Ace from behind was that his giant belly was wedged pretty tight, with his tail high up wiggling frantically and his feet digging in the ground to get out. On the other side; Max was clearly pulling himself out frantically to no avail, with Martin watching just in front of him. "Urgh," he grunted. "I'm stuck!"

Martin smiled as he immediately took a picture of the situation Max was in, snickering. "Well," he told him. "You did dive in headfirst into that hole without thinking of the consequences." Max really felt embarrassed now, especially since Ace has a clear view of his giant belly. But thankfully his two friends aren't the kind who would tease on him all night, as Martin said "Let me help you out buddy!" He grabbed both of Max's paws and started pulling.

Don't worry Max" Ace yelled from the other side as he started to push into his doughy middle, having to gain some traction by letting out his foot claws. "I'm not the kind of person *Urf* who would laugh at my friends so meanly, when they're in a situation like this!" He pushed more in more into the belly, Max smiled as he was being helped out there from both; you can practically hear creaking coming from the entrance with Max's belly being practically smooshed against the wall. And then just like that; *POP!* three just started flying thanks to Max shooting out like a cannonball, landing about five feet away from the entrance. May have been a wild ride, but at least Max is now finally free. Ace got up first; he had a very sly smirk smeared on his face as he and Martin both help up the blubbery rabbit. "I'm willing to bet that this sort of thing happens a lot with you two."

Max giggled sheepishly and nodded at that; considering on how fat Max has always been, it's not hard to believe that he gets his rotund self-wedged in small places a lot. Martin laughed heartily at the comment "I can honestly say I have lost tracked on the number of times Max has gotten stuck," he said with a smirk. "Now that we are out here, let's head to the storage building, I know of its location so I'll lead the way!" Max and Ace nodded in agreement as they followed Martin to another food related adventure.

_ _

_ ~~~*45 minutes later*~~~ _

_ _

Well, actually it's twenty minutes from Max's home; the problem was that the trail they had to take required them to go uphill, and considering how much weight the rabbit had put on since his feast back at his house, within a minute of walking up the trailer Max was already panting and sweating like a dog in a hot summer day, wanting to take a breather for a little while. Thankfully Ace being the kind soul he is wrapped his right arm around Max's back and helped him up the hill with Max hanging his left arm over the cheetah's left shoulder; though as you can imagine it took quite a while for the three to reach the top since Martin had to slow down in order for the two to catch up to him, but the weasel had a lot of patience so he wasn't irked much that it's taking a lot longer to reach they're destination. "I'm sorry that we're slowing you down buddy," Max said, a little bit ashamed that he and Ace are being so slow. "We really shouldn't have pigged out back at my den."

"Don't you mean YOU *huff* shouldn't have pigged out," as you can tell from the excessive breathing, sweating, and the sarcastic tone in his voice; he wasn't in the cheeriest of moods. You can't really blame him though as having to carry someone of Max's stature up an incline for almost an hour is surely going to strain your emotions, not to mention your back. "Dang Max you weigh as much as a car!"

Max giggled embarrassingly and blushed beep red as Martin looked back with a grin, "Well you can relax Ace," he said excitedly. "Cause we finally made it!" With that Max's ears perked and immediately started running towards the building and left Ace in the dust; his massive gut wobbled immensely up and down, side to side, making sloshing sounds that would resemble a half filled water balloon... Well, a balloon that would be like eight feet in diameter anyway. When he reached the top of the hill, he stared in awe at the sight; the building was pretty huge in diameter, around 1'400 feet to be precise, with 80 feet in height it's a pretty clear telling that this place may likely hold tonnes of delicious food. The exterior of the building doesn't look half-bad either, the walls being made entirely out of bricks in different shades of brown and dark red; but don't let the old style look fool you, it's very strong and sturdy, you can say indestructible even. An interesting quirk of the warehouse is that it's practically sitting on the edge of a hill that is resting against the west side of the building, and the hill looks pretty steep; if anybody falls out of those windows from that side they will be rolling fifty feet down the hill.

"Oh wow," Max said with his eyes glazed over, enough to make anybody hungry for donuts in all honesty. "It's so big!"

Ace finally managed to catch up to the two as he looked pretty pooped from carrying the obese bunny up the hill. "Just *pant* out of curiosity," he asked Martin. "How *pant* in the world *pant* are going to get into that building?"

Ace did raise a good point; this Mr. Crane from the looks of it has put quite bit of security into #52, a couple of guards for each wall we're patrolling around the perimeter of the building so that no one will be able to escape they're view, the doors have sophisticated electrical locks that requires special keycards, and the ground floor windows were pretty much out of the question due to Max's physique. The rabbit's ears lowered completely when he saw all that security, "How are we going to get in now," he asked with a whimper. "There's no way I can fit through those windows with the guards on the lookout."

Martin, rather undeterred from this realization used his keen sense of vision to spot anything that looks like a possible entrance into the building; but seeing as how they were at the hilltop and it was a hundred yards away from the building, it won't be easy to spy something interesting unless your eyesight is perfect. Thankfully for the trio -especially Max-, Martin was able to spot something very particular that looks to be unguarded; nearby is a creek that has a large drainage pipe that's half buried into the ground, 7 feet wide and tall, and ten feet long; connected to the creek, and it also appears connected to the storage building. Very odd for such a rural area as it's more suiting for a big city like Chicago, but hey it's really convenient so they really can't complain. "Bingo," he said with a grin, "looks like we found ourselves a way in guys!"

As you might expect, Max beamed when Martin spotted another way into the mystical storage building; it comes as no surprise that Max was about to zoom towards it when Ace grabbed a hold of his arm. "Slow down Roadrunner," Ace cautioned the rotund bunny; "I think it would be safer and smarter if we don't go in there guns blazing, and instead do stealth mode; just so that we won't attract any attention."

Of course, Ace was right; someone of the bunny's stature would no doubt create a lot of noise that would give the trio away, so sneaking down the hill towards the drainage is the more sensible option. Then again, I highly don't think that Max is really the patient type, "Aw come on Ace," Max whined, his ears drooped and giving off big puppy eyes. "I am so hungry I can eat a horse!"

"It looks like you already ate three; buddy," Martin snickered as he nodded with Ace, slowly walking down the hill in stealthy fashion; seems as though he cemented himself as the leader as he looks back to the two and signaling them to follow. Ace helped Max down the hill -while holding on to his vest tightly so as to not run off and blow they're cover-, following behind the tubby weasel. They crouched down when they entered the creek, they're feet soaking wet and the coldness of the water sending a tingle up the three's spine. Of course they really can't complain at this point, "just h-h-hold on guys," Martin said, shivering a little bit, "we're g-g-going i-in!"

Once the trio entered the drainage pipe; Ace let go of Max and pulled out a small penlight from his pocket and turned it on to illuminate the passageway, as you would imagine, the whole pipe was damp, dark, and felt like a cave which leads deeper and deeper into the earth. At least the water wasn't dirty... Somewhat, *burr* "Dang this water feels like it's imported from Pluto," Ace said, his teeth chattering a little bit as they go deeper into the unknown. As they go further in, the whole place got darker and harder to see; so the penlight is quite literally they're lifeline. "I didn't think that this pipe goes this deep into the earth," the cheetah was pretty surprised. "How far along is it till we reach our destination--. " Before he could finish his sentence though he walked head first into an obstacle, the collision was pretty painful as the banging of skull with metal was echoing throughout the place. The cheetah immediately fallen back in comedic style and rubbed his booboo, "okay never mind."

Even though it did look pretty painful, the guys really couldn't help themselves but hide they're giggling; after all it was kind of thing you only seen in cartoons. Once Ace got up, he shined his light onto the ladder, it did look a bit rusty; as there was some brown rust at the feet of the ladder, but it still looked strong. The only problem was when he pointed the light upward; at the ceiling was a vertical shaft that looked to be thirty feet long and only big enough for a 400lbs person to fit through; way too small for Max. "Oh dear," Martin said as he saw the vertical shaft, "it may take a while to get you at the other end buddy."

Max's ears lowered again, giving off big puppy eyes. "But I am hungry as a horse guys," he whined a little, "can't you guys help me out?"

"Of course we will," Ace said with a grin. "What kind of friends are we if we don't help out each other?"

Max smiled a little as Martin was the first to get onto the letter as he climbed up and stopped halfway into the , "I think I got an idea how to get all three of us up there guys, Max you grab on to my ankles." Martin said to the hefty rabbit, Max obliged and got onto the ladder himself, though as you can likely imagine it was not so easy as his bulk kept getting in the way from grabbing onto it and get his footing on it, but in no time at all he was holding on to Martin's legs. "Okay then, now Ace you climb up last as we need someone to push up on Max to help him wiggle through this shaft."

Ace didn't look very pleased at all; considering that he's going to have to push upward on Max's bottom and his belly, it's an understatement that he looks like he has seen a ghost. "You're kidding me right Martin?" He asked with a flabbergasted expression on his face. "It would take us hours to get Max through there!"

"Nonsense Ace," Martin cheered at Ace as he starts to climb up the shaft. "Not if you believe!"

"Martin's right," Max smiled gleefully as he soon followed the weasel, holding on to his legs as he begins climbing. "You can do it Ace, I know you can!" Of course after he finished that little pep talk, the hole got plugged with rabbit blubber; his legs moving rapidly in the air. Ace sighed and climbed, putting his paws on all that rabbit and begins pushing upward. Now all the cheetah can hear of his two new friends is being muffled out by the sloshing of rabbit blubber.

"Maybe I didn't think this through Max," Martin was struggling to climb upward with having to drag Max with him, who as you can see is really trying his best to hold on to Martin as he stretches slowly with each step Martin takes. "You're a lot bigger than I expected!"

*Oomph!* Max slowly started to squeeze into the shaft as Ace and Martin continue to push and pull the rabbit to get him to the other side. "Come on *oomph!* guys," Max said, looking a bit uncomfortable, getting smooshed and stretched at the same time in such a small space is pretty much not the nicest place to be in if your big. "I'm starving here!"

"And my spine is about to break," Ace hollered back, sounding pretty damn irate at this point as they reach the halfway mark after minutes of constant pushing and pulling; though it's pretty understandable why he feels that way, with Max on top of him he probably feels like the world is quite literally on his shoulders. "But you don't see me complaining, no sir-ree!"

Well, you can make the argument that technically he is complaining right now, but now's not the time to focus on minor details as after what felt like an eternity, even though it was only ten minutes, Martin can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. "We are almost there guys," he cheered as three inched closer. "It's almost over!"

With that being said, Martin immediately popped his head out and looked around to see the place. Calling it huge would be an understatement of the year, lights hanging from the ceiling brightens up the place enough to show an endless sea of stacked crates that ranged in height from 4o to 60 feet; kind of giving off the look of an indoor mountain range. An aroma of delicious foods and baked goods, crammed into an endless amounts of boxes and crates, practically engulfed the entire room, which made Martin drool just a little bit, and Max practically making a waterfall from his mouth. "Holey moly," Martin said as he was staring in awe at the place, slowly getting out and standing on his own two feet. "This place is huge!"

The place was pretty high security on the inside two, many of the windows have bars on them so that no one can break in, and the doors are padlocked with a fingerprint scanner for extra security, though it's a little bit of a overkill in my opinion. Especially considering that one of the windows that has a vertical slide is not even locked at all. Then again this is right next to the main entrance doorway so it doesn't appear to be too out of place. Max poked his head out and once he took in the sight of it all, he immediately went all wide eyed. "I think I have died and gone to heaven," he said with giddy, as he madly tried to climb his way out of the shaft. It's amazing that food can motivate him into having a burst of speed, but sadly he also forgot that he had to be pushed and pulled by Martin and Ace simultaneously just to get this far, so all that he is doing is just madly trying to pull himself out and kicking into the air. "Oh come on! I'm hungry guys, and I can't be stuck in this thing forever!!"

"I am pushing as fast as I can blubber bunny!" Ace snapped back, now he really looks like he is in a sauna, sweating like he ran a complete marathon. I can imagine he couldn't take it anymore, as he just gave a massive push into Max, making the poor rabbit pop out like a cork as he just landed belly first to the ground. Ace immediately climbed out to get out of the sauna the shaft had turned into thanks to Max trapping the warm air from outside, and boy did he look drenched; with his hair looking pretty soaked and his jean jacket shows some pit stains. "Next time Martin," he sighed. "You should be the last one to venture forth."

Martin snickered a little at that comment as the three took in the immensity of the sight; Max awed, slowly walking forward towards a stack of crates that have the overwhelming scent of cabbages. "I think I'm heaven guys," Max smiled widely, grabbing a crowbar that was on top of it and pried it open, exposing the cabbages that don't even look a day old!. "Now I definitely know I am in heaven!" And with that he grabbed a cabbage and chomped on it, showing a blissful expression as he munched and munched on the sweet leafy treat till it was no longer there. "Come join in on the feast friends," he said in between chews of his second cabbage, "there's plenty to go around!"

Martin smiled as he joined in as well, going towards another crate and using the same crowbar Max handed him to pry it open; this crate contained colorful semi-flat boxes that has a clear plastic cover over a cut out circular middle which shows gentle golden dough with elegantly made holes that reveals a gooey colorful center. Even to the untrained eye one can tell that that the one closest to him must be blueberry; he looks at the other boxes and sees the different array of flavors; strawberry, cherry, pumpkin, banana cream, all the staple pie flavors are packed into this crate. He grabbed one of the boxes and opened it, taking in a huge whiff of the pumpkin pie. "Your right Max," he said as he gobbled down on the pie like a ravenous wolf, mewing in bliss as he finished and patted his slightly expanded gut. "This is heaven!" He then noticed that Ace hasn't joined in on the feast of a lifetime, "What are you waiting for," he exclaimed at the cheetah with a heartfelt grin, "an invitation?!"

It would appear as though Ace is a tad more hesitant to join in on the feast of a lifetime then Martin or Max; could it be that he's just not hungry? Or is it more likely he doesn't want to end up a blimp like Max? "Oh no thanks guys," he said, "I am quite stuffed still from the meal back at Max's home." The two buddies just simply looked at each other, each sporting a sort of mischievous grin; almost as if they have both come up with the same devious plan. They walked towards Ace, they're guts making such sloshing sounds and grabbed both of his arms, lifting him off the ground and carrying him to the crates. "Hey," he hollered, clearly he was aware of what the two have in their minds, and was certainly not a happy camper as he struggled to break free of their grasps. "I don't want to be giant butterballs like you two!"

"Aw come on Ace," Max giggled bashfully. "There is nothing wrong with having a lot of chub on yourself, makes you a giant plushy!"

"There is if I don't want to be a ball," Ace huffs as he struggles more, really not wanting to be a fat-ass like his two new friends. Martin spotted a large pile of cardboard boxes that were full of cakes of varying flavors; which he can tell thanks to his smell instinct, to which he looked at Max with a grin and the rabbit nodding back with a grin as well.

"One. Two." The two said together as the swung Ace back and forth like they were playing airplane, obviously a jumbo jet. "Three!" And with that they let go of Ace, sending him flying into the cardboard box pile; thankfully with the added cushioning effect of the cakes, he wasn't hurt, but boy was he messy. Covered in icing of different colors, sprinkles, and cake pieces of varying flavors, you can pretty much guess that Ace was not amused as he took a bite out of a broken cake slice that was sitting on his lap, adding a bit more to his tummy now. "Now come on Ace," Max pouted a bit, "I know there is a glutton in you, we just got to find it with a good stuffing!"

"I am fine with not being a glutton thank you very much," Ace said sarcastically with a smirk. Though from the looks of it, he really seems unable to stop munching, Max and Martin clearly see it and just shrugged with a chuckle and give up as they go back to the rest of the food and munches away. All three were just busy munching and munching on any delicious food they can see; Max finishing three boxes of carrots and now moving on to some carrot cake, Martin gorging on some chocolate donuts, and Ace slowly chewing the cake. Obviously these three will certainly get bigger in no time at all.

_ ~~~*25 minutes later*~~~ _

_ _

As one can expect in that amount of time, the trio had put on quite a lot of fat; though at varying degrees. Ace as one would expect had put on the least amount of weight because he still knows his limits.... Well, sometimes; in this case though it looks like he has managed to put on 40lbs, while his face didn't puff out much it was very clear he puffed out like a blowfish; his gut has certainly gotten bigger with the emphasis on big, with his shirt sort of riding up and having a slightly hard time covering it, his pants looking a tad snug covering his meaty legs, and his arms are more sausage-like. Martin meanwhile has managed to put on 60lbs, clearly he is more in tune with his inner gluttony then Ace is, sitting down next to a large pile of empty containers, and judging from the smell, one could guess that they were once filled with delicious lasagna and casserole. His shirt is riding up his chest and the seams of his shorts looked very strained, but he was very content with himself as he murred peacefully to himself and rubbing his swollen tummy. But of course we couldn't forget about Max, managing to put on the most weight in the binge if that was even possible at this point; about 85lbs of pure rabbit goodness. It was actually a miracle that he's not a ball of blubber at this point, as he's just barely able to stand on his two feet, huffing and holding on to his giant tummy with his shirt almost looking like it was meant for a toddler. The rabbit slowly waddled around to a corner of the warehouse where there was more boxes that contained some carrot cakes and cabbage rolls. "My goodness," he huffed slowly to himself. "If I try to eat anymore I think I might end up popping up like a balloon!"

"Not to point out the obvious Max," Ace snickered as he looked at the giant rabbit, "but I think you've popped quite a long time ago, well at least your clothing has anyway." Indeed, it was a stroke of luck that Max didn't zip up his vest, because if he did it would have completely been shredded to pieces by now.

Max of course blushed into a cherry on top of a chocolate sundae at that comment, still waddling towards the boxes as he can smell the aroma of cabbage and carrots hanging delicately in the air, "Come to papa," he grinned, and sat down on the floor. The action caused quite a bit of rumbling in that section of the warehouse, which was bad because the rumbling caused a drum that was resting on one of the storage racks to tip over and come crashing down onto the ground. Now on its own, this wouldn't be such big issue since the trio made just as loud noises and managed to alert none of the guards that there were intruders on the premises, but the drum just kept rolling and it crashed into a pyramid style stack of boxes that are full of canned foods like soup, beans, vegetables, you name it. The force of the impact was more than sufficient enough to make the pyramid come tumbling down in such spectacular fashion; while some cans were able to escape the fall of death with only a dent, many others just simply cracked and in some cases outright exploded as if the inside was an aircraft cabin under pressurization, either way one slices it the end result is one huge mess and ear shattering noise that would even make the 21-Gun salute envious. "Uh-oh," he gulped at the realization, "I think we may need to get out of here quickly guys."

Almost in quick timing, alarm bells rang across the area; seems that the noise caused by the spectacle was sufficient enough to have been heard in the next town over, let alone outside the warehouse. -Attention All Personnel- the monotonic voice rang throughout the premises, -we have intruders in Storage Building #52; I repeat, we have intruders in Storage Building #52.- Martin, alarmed by the... Alarm, quickly rose up to his feet, his gut wobbling and sloshing without a care in the world. "Your darn tooting we need to Max!" With Ace following right behind him, the two immediately went towards the rabbit, figuring that they may need to help him with his mobility since they need to get out of this place before they really get into the fire. They both grabbed onto Max's paws and with great heaving, the rabbit manages to get onto his feet, if only barely. Of course, there's a really big problem as the three waddled they're way back to the escape route: There is no way in heck that any of them, not even Ace can fit down that manhole as they looked down there in complete defeat; they will have to look for another method of escaping.

"Wait a minute!" Ace exclaimed with excitement, a bulb went off in his head. "I remember seeing an open window on the other side of the storage building; we can use that to escape!"

"How in the world did we not notice that," Martin yelled in utter surprise, the three were wobbling as fast as they can towards the window, which for two of them is really difficult due to their over indulgence.

"Less time questioning, more time escaping!" Ace huffed as finally the trio reached the open window; surprisingly the windows in this warehouse are pretty average, like this window all the windows on the ground floor are basically vertical sliding windows with two panels. Both of which are three feet tall and one and a half feet wide, as basically while horizontally it's not a whole lot of space, the window as a whole was a pretty big; which is direly needed for these three butterballs. Though now a new problem emerges; who will attempt to escape first? "Uh-oh, looks like we may have to play some Rock Paper Scissors to decide, guys."

Considering the short amount of time they got, Max and Martin nod their heads and the three immediately started to pound their left fist on their right palm. "Rock, Paper, Scissors!" They made their left fist into their desired item, and the result? While Max and Ace hold out scissors, Martin hold out rock; Martin wins this round of the time old game, but they only have time for one round. "Get ready to push me out guys," the rotund weasel said as he climbed into the window to try and squeeze himself through. He managed to get up to his chest till, predictably, his large gut squished against the open frame, wedging him completely. Martin struggled for a few moments, hoping to see if he can get himself unstuck; of course he would have about as much luck to hope the alarm would shut off.

_Seeing the obvious; both Ace and Max pressed their paws on Martin as they start to push and shove into him, using a lot of their upper body strength to get him free. It was really not easy; but slowly but surely, he started to squeeze through bit by bit, but while they continued pushing and Martin trying to pull himself out, the hefty cheetah started to hear cracks and groans. He couldn't tell where it was coming since there was many other sounds occurring, like the alarm, the effort Max and Ace were putting, and Martin's struggling, so he ignored it and focused on the task at hand. Of course what Ace didn't realize was that the sounds were coming from the window itself; considering that the walls are entirely made out of bricks, it's not hard to imagine that they are not meant to endure being compressed by blubber balls, it's a miracle that they are still holding strong so either Martin is not that heavy, or the builders were complete masters. _

_ In any case, after a minute or so of effort; Martin finally manages to pop out to the other side. "You guys did it!" He said ecstatically, though careful not to get too over-excited since if he stepped too far off he would be rolling down the hill. "Alright, Ace your-." Before he can finish though, Max just simply barged himself through, thinking that his size would break the wall down.... It doesn't; despite it dealing with a mass greater than Martin, the wall is still holding strong, and now he's essentially trapped. "Dang it Max," Martin exclaimed as he grabbed both of Maxes paws and begins to tug really hard. "I said it was Ace's turn!"_

_ "I'm *oof* sorry," the giant rabbit said with his ears lowered. "I panicked, and I thought I would be able to break the wall down!" Of course, it didn't work, and now that Max has basically plugged the window with his girth, trying to push him back in is now simply impossible. Ace meanwhile, seeing a great wall of Max in front of him, knows that there is simply no way that the rabbit can squeeze through the window, but he couldn't leave his friend behind, so he decided to put twice the strength and effort into it, shoving into Max's enlarged tummy to try and get him through. "*oof* Careful Ace, you're making the window break and get its splinters into my tummy!"_

_ It was then that Martin got an idea; perhaps Max's idea could work, only instead of trying to tear the wall down with brute force, maybe they can wear it down by constantly pulling and pushing Max; therefore weakening the structural integrity of the window and getting the rabbit free. Of course they would have to do it quickly before security comes. "I got an idea Ace," Martin yelled. "Push like you have never pushed before while I use all my strength in pulling!"_

_ Unfortunately, fat is great sound absorption; all that Ace can hear from Martin is just muffling. He had no idea what he said, so he ignored it and continued pushing into Max with a lot of strength. With the combined efforts of the two; the wall starts to make ever louder moans and groans, the window starting to crack under the pressure, and looking like the thing is being pushed outward. "The whole thing is starting collapse guys, you better brace yourselves!" Ace shouted._

_ Indeed the whole wall looked like it would collapse at any moment; but it needs one massive final effort to make the thing topple like dominos. On the exact same time though, Martin and Ace both gave a massive heaves and grunts, using all of their strength in their task to get the bunny out. With that, the wall surrounding the window basically collapses, turning into basically a large hole; and having Max come barreling out towards Martin. Of course though, the pure giddiness on Martin's face is erased when he and the gang just realized; this side of the building is actually facing the slope of the hill it is situated on._

_ "Oh snaaaap," the three yelled like they were in suspension animation as they fall down the slope and start to roll. Ace was basically tumbleweed, bouncing up and down as physics would see fit; unfortunately for Max and Martin, their shape basically turned them into living boulders so they basically roll down the hill and only picking up speed. Ramming down the hill, being unable to stop themselves the two hit a bump near the bottom and just flew up twenty feet in the air. For a moment, they looked like balloons that some sad kid lost; but of course what goes up must come down. They just went straight down and made a long bang on impact, their guts sloshing into pure Jell-O._

_ "On the bright side," Max grunted a bit, trying to get up but only managing to roll onto his side, "at least we managed to escape." He giggled bashfully, folding his ears back. Martin meanwhile struggled to get onto his feet, but thanks to being less of a butterball he was able to get onto his feet; barely anyway. Max looked around from his position, it seems that something is amiss to him. "Hey Martin, where is Ace?"_

_ Speaking of whom, the cheetah finally comes crashing into them, smacking head first into the bunny wall which likely helped prevent an injury of smacking into something hard. Then again; his tumbling did look pretty painful, and as it is a bit obvious he does have some scrapes and his clothes look torn, but thankfully the injuries the three sustained can be patched up with bandages. "Okay," Ace grunted as he rested next to Max and Martin. "If I am going to hang out with you guys in the future, how about we make sure to avoid any places that have bank status security, and bring a tub of butter in the event that one of you two would get stuck."_

_ "You make it sound like it happens to us all the time!" The bunny smirked at Ace big and grabbed Ace with surprising speed, giving him a noogie while making jolly laughter. "Give us more credit that; at least we tried to have a grand feast; you barely look like you've even started!"_

_ Ace and Martin joined in on the laughter, with the weasel helping Max punish Ace for not letting out his inner glutton by ticking him relentlessly. The cheetah laughed even harder now; kicking and flailing while tears roll down his face. "Sue me for the fact that I like to run!"_

_ "At least we got you pudgy," Martin giggled a bit. But then he remembered something, he brought his polaroid camera with him, and amazingly it was still strapped on him and only covered in dirt from the roll, talk about luck. He took the camera off him and looked at Max with a grin, showing him the camera; Max snickered and nodded as if he knows what he's thinking. "Now hold still Ace, its picture time!"_

_ Max and Martin immediately leaned their heads close to Ace's face in order to bundle themselves together for the group shot; of course with the varying sizes of the trio it was a bit of a miracle they managed to get that close together. Martin then hold the camera out in front of the three; the two shouting cheese while Ace was still laughing, they thought it would be more memorable to get the picture before the cheetah could catch his breath. And with a click of the camera, it made an instantaneous flash, and a lasting friendship was born, with no doubt Max and Martin would be bringing their new friend along for future adventures._
