Fat Reserve

Author’s Notes
Okay, this is one set in SailorStars, between episodes 192 and 193.  The 
Starlights are like in the original in this one.  It’s just a silly idea 
I had, especially after hearing so many people comment on how thin the 
Starlights (and the Senshi in general) are.  By the way, I do like Ami 
and Taiki, though Setsuna is one I’m not very fond of.  My villain is 
the one who doesn’t like them all.

    Setsuna looked up.  The house was strangely quiet.  Where was 
everyone?  Michiru had been doing her violin practice.  She wasn’t in 
the music room.  Haruka had been in there too, playing the piano with 
her.  Hotaru wasn’t in her room reading anymore.  Setsuna began to get a 
sense that something evil was going to happen.  So she headed to Juuban 
High, in the hope that she could warn the other Sailor Senshi.

    When she got there, she found Ami in a bit of a panic.  “Everyone 
just suddenly disappeared!  Not the other students, but Usagi, Rei, 
Makoto, and Minako.  Yaten and Seiya are gone too; it’s just me and 
Taiki here now.  Taiki was in the classroom too, reading a book of 
Blake’s poems.  Suddenly, all three of them looked up, startled to see a 
girl materialize out of a poof of pink smoke.  She had her purple hair 
in a ponytail with a bun on top.  “Sailor Pluto.  Sailor Mercury.  
Sailor Star Maker.  I have been watching you three.  And I despise your 
ways,” she sneered, going first to Ami.  “Why do you hate us?  Did 
Galaxia send you here?” she asked, trying to sound brave.  “Galaxia?  I 
don’t even know who that is, some silly magical girl show character?  I 
am Sarah.  Hmmph.  Ami Mizuno.  Such a goody-goody.  You’d never indulge 
yourself, always doing what you’re told.  Always trying to be a good 
student,” she taunted.  Ami looked ready to cry.  Then Sarah approached 
Setsuna, who was holding her transformation wand.  “Guardian of the Time 
Gates.  Always so stoic.  Looking so obnoxiously dignified all the time, 
never losing your composure.  How sickening,” she jeered before turning 
to her final target.  “What have you done with Seiya and Yaten and the 
others?” Taiki asked, confronting the girl who looked ready to kill him 
with her glare.  “So, oh-so-smart Kou Taiki?  Always thinking your 
science is better than dreams and romance, also as dignified and 
composed as Miss Perfect Time Guardian,” Sarah snapped.  She took one 
more look of disgust at her three victims, then continued.  “Yes, I do 
have your friends, and I will give them back.  On one condition.  You 
must become very fat by sundown.  Fat enough for me.  And if you fill my 
requirments, I’ll release your friends and put you back to normal.  Got 
that?” she challenged.  “But...that’s not healthy!” Ami spluttered, 
finally able to speak.  “So you’d rather not see your friends?” Sarah 
threatened.  “NO!!  But why do you want us to be fat?” she asked.  “You 
three would give me great pleasure that way.  I’ve always longed to see 
you three gorge yourselves and act undignified like Usagi.  To see you 
three get wild over food and emotional.  To lose your dignity,” Sarah 
retorted, then poofed away, in the same pink smoke she left in.

    “She didn’t really mean that, did she?” Ami asked.  “I think we 
should do what she says.  Especially since she’ll turn us back later,” 
Setsuna said slowly.  Sarah then poofed back into the room.  “Oh.  One 
more thing.  You must be in girl-form, SAILOR STAR MAKER.  And all of 
you...here.  This will make you not able to get full,” she said, 
pointing at Taiki, then sending a strange powder over the three of 
them.  Then she disappeared again.  “You won’t do it, will you, Taiki?  
You might lose lots of fans that way,” Ami pleaded.  “I’ll lose more 
fans if Seiya and Yaten are gone.  Miss Sarah said we’d be back to 
normal after this whole ordeal is over,” Taiki said, agreeing with 
Setsuna.  “Well, okay.  If it will bring my friends back,” Ami finally 
gave in.  As she did so, a whole bunch of pastries and cakes and sweets 
appeared in the room, ready for Sailor Senshi consumption.

    Star Maker was transformed.  The food was there.  And they were 
ready.  Ami walked over to a huge, 13-tiered cake and began eating 
daintily.  Setsuna and Star Maker, on the other hand, began shoveling 
cookies into their mouths, eating very fast but quietly.  Ami glared at 
them.  “Don’t you see?  If we’re not dignified, we’ll have fallen into 
her trap,” she scolded.  “And if we don’t eat fast enough, we probably 
won’t be fat enough for her.  Right now, this is our mission,” Setsuna 
said, with her usual dignity, then resumed stuffing herself.  Soon, Ami 
and Setsuna were popping out of their clothes, but Star Maker’s Senshi 
outfit grew along with her.  Quickly, Ami and Setsuna also transformed, 
since their Senshi outfits would expand along with their bodies.  It was 
just a Senshi magic thing.  They were all eating quickly, but not loudly 
or acting excited about it.  They were more dutiful.  The three watched 
themselves expand with determination.

    Finally sundown had come.  Sailor Mercury lay on the floor, 
sleeping.  Sailor Pluto and Star Maker were alert, though, keeping watch 
for Sarah.  Sailor Mercury was impressively obese, but nothing compared 
to the other two.  The problem was, they were barely able to move, their 
arms and legs mere stubs sticking out of the mounds of fat.  “I hope 
this is enough for her,” Sailor Mercury said, finally waking up.  
Suddenly the familiar pink poof cloud appeared, and Sarah appeared.  She 
looked at the three Senshi.  “Not fat enough, Sailor Mercury.  Tsk tsk.  
And you shouldn’t have been so dignified and dutiful about this, Star 
Maker and Sailor Pluto.  You two certainly meet my standards of fatness, 
but you didn’t act properly.  Stop being so dignified!” she shouted, 
raging wildly.  Sailor Pluto strained to reach her Garnet Rod.  She 
finally got her chubby fingers around it.  “Dead Scream.”  “Mercury Aqua 
Rhapsody!”  “Star Gentle Uterus!”  The three attacks flew at Sarah.  
“Nooo!!  I can’t stand dutiful Sailor Senshi!  I’m being destroyed by 
your willpower!” she screamed as she disappeared for good this time.  As 
if by magic, they all shrank back to their normal sizes.  Also, the 
other Senshi all appeared.  Ironically enough, Sarah was right.  They 
HAD won by having the willpower to overcome their societial restraints 
towards gluttony.
