Alernate Reality V

This is one of my favourite transformation stories. Penned by the genius Matt L.

Part One: Ginger’s Friend
Ginger Fisk stood in front of her bedroom mirror admiring her slim body. The 19-year-old beauty was barely 125 pounds, with an ever so pretty face, soft green eye's and wavy shoulder length brown hair. Tapping her flat tummy, Ginger smiled at her reflection, then slowly turned to her closet and picked out her wardrobe for her trip to the mall. In this case, a pink halter top and powder blue jeans. After grabbing her purse, Ginger made tracks to meet up with her best friend Pamela Baines, though before she had made it out of her modest single family dwelling she ran into her sister Kimberly.
Two years older then Ginger, Kimberly also had a slim figure, and long golden blond hair that flowed over her shoulders. What irked Ginger the most about Kimberly was her conceited nature. Maybe Ginger knew she was attractive, but never made a point of sharing it with the world like her older sister often done. Kimberly would rave to anyone who'd listen about how beautiful and popular she was, and this actually made Ginger feel nauseous. To Kimberly also felt that the key to feminine beauty was marked by dress size, the smaller the size, thus more attractive the woman. "Where are you off too?" Kim asked as she sat in the family room watching television with a big bowl of ice cream on her lap.

Ginger smiled as she looked at her sister, still in her nightgown, and well past noon, "Your just going to sit around like that all day?"
Kim shook her head as she gulped down a spoonful of ice cream, "No, I've a date later. Why bother getting dressed when I'm not doing anything until then."
Ginger shrugged her shoulders, and told Kim, "Okay, maybe I'll be back in time to meet Mister Wonderful."


Kim dropped some ice cream on her thigh, scooped it up with her fingers, and placed it into her mouth, "Where did you say you were going?"
Ginger laughed, "I'm going to meet Pam at the mall. The Gap is having a sale."
Kim sat up straight, and as she ate another spoonful of her frozen treat told Ginger, "Like the Gap has anything in her size? Wouldn't Vanity Salk be a much more worthier friend for you to associate with?"

Vanity, whose real name was Emma, was Ginger's other best friend who had once been a very chubby young lady until a rigid diet program took the pounds off just before she turned 16. Ever since then Emma earned the nick name of Vanity due to the fact, just like Kim, bragged to anyone who'd listen about how cute she happen to be. Ginger walked over to her sister, "Pammy's really not at all that heavy."

Kim laughed, "Try she's 175 pounds really that heavy."
Kim was correct; Pamela Baines was a very chubby gal. Ginger looked down at her sister, "Be thankful for your metabolism or you'd be even heavier then Pam."
Kimberly was one of those girls who could eat as much as she wanted, and not gain a pound. Kim pointed out the direction of the door, "I thought you were leaving?"
Ginger bent over and softly touched her sister under the chin, "My, are we getting a second chin?"
Ginger giggled as Kim got off the couch and raced to the bathroom to inspect her chin. Gazing into the mirror, Kim discovered Ginger's lie, "Bitch! I look perfect." Kim then threw a kiss to her reflection.

At Chicago Ridge mall Ginger found Pam staring into the window of a clothing store. Pamela was a cute enough young lady with apple cheeks, a slight double chin and long curly red hair. Pam unfortunately like many chubby females lacked good self-esteem, and the outfit she wore more then proved the point. Dressed in an over size black sweat shirt and matching pants, Pamela actually looked heavier then she actually was, especially in the hind quarters. The store window had on display women swimsuits of all types, with exception to the more generous in size. Pam smiled, "I wish I could fit into that neon purple suit. Then maybe I'd actually attend the beach party next Saturday."

Ginger wrapped her arm around her friend, "I thought you we're going to tag a long with me?"
A sour expression touched Pam's sweet face, "I'm way to fat Ginger. I can't go with my huge butt and thunder thighs."
Ginger took a step back and remarked, "Oh Pammy, we'll find the perfect suit that'll hide your figure flaws."

Pam watched as two slender females her own age walk by wearing outfits that complimented their slim shapes, "Thanks Ginger, but seriously I 'd feel out of place."
Ginger tried in vain to change her friend's mind as they walked to the Gap, but too no prevail. At The Gap Pam watched how the sale ladies immediately waited on her slim friend, and completely ignored her. They even showered Ginger with compliments over her gorgeous figure. All the while Pam stood alone as if she was invisible. One lady even accidentally bumped into Pam, and didn't even have the good manners to excuse herself. When Pam asked for help on a certain item, the sales lady replied, "Just a minute," and left to help another slim young lady who just entered the store.
After Ginger bought a few items, the girls left the mall for a bite to eat. Ginger noticed Pam was in a foul mood, and when she asked what was bothering her, Pam gave her a phony excuse. Ginger decided to drop the subject, figuring Pam would spill the beans sooner or later. The friends picked a local hang out to lunch at a dime-a-dozen-burger place. A few minutes into their meal Vanity Salk walked into the restaurant. Vanity, whose slim yet hour glass figure looked marvelous in a light green blouse and tight black slacks, had an oval shaped ultra beautiful face, and long brown hair with blond highlights. "Hey Ginger! I stopped by your home. Kim told me you deserted me and went to the mall."

Ginger laughed, "Yeah, something like that. Join us?"
Vanity marched right to the table the girls were sitting at, and pulled up a chair along side of Ginger, "Buy anything good?"
As Ginger showed Vanity the garments she bought, Pam munched on her fries and thought to herself, "Vanity didn't even acknowledge me. Worst yet, Ginger didn't even notice that."
As Vanity and Ginger spoke, Pam was again completely ignored. Pam did try to join in on the conversation, and though Ginger did at times pay attention to her comments, Pam could tell she was a third wheel. Worst yet when Two young men whom Vanity knew stopped by to chat, all attention was focused on Ginger and Vanity. Pamela just munched on her food as the guys flirted with the slim young ladies. One of the guys, Flint Ventura did make eye contact with Pam, but nothing was said. For the most part Pam went unnoticed. After the guys left, the three friends continued their lunch, of course Pam barely said a word as her friends controlled the conversation.
Just as the girls finished their meal Gretchen Kittle entered the restaurant. Gretchen was a beautiful 19-year-old young lady in her own right, with long braided blond hair that hung down to the center of her back. Her well-fed 198 lbs figure looked stunning in a tight turquoise T-shirt and black jeans. Her chubby face was very attractive and she wore just enough makeup to flatter her soft facial features. With Gretchen were a couple of other friends, though it was Gretchen that Vanity commented about since she was the heaviest one in the bunch. "Look at the size of her ass. My gosh, is it huge or what?"

Pam looked to Ginger; "I think she's a pretty girl despite her size."
Ginger Concurred, "Yeah, she's not at all bad looking."
Ignoring the fact that she was once overweight herself, Vanity continued with her catty remarks, "Are you kidding me? She's a cow."
Ginger shook her head and disagreed, "Okay, so she's a heavy girl, Gretchen does have a lot of style."
Vanity stood up and swung her purse over her shoulder as she remarked, "You’re only saying that because you have it in a bad way for her brother. You like the guy so you’re not going to be truthful about his fat sister."

Ginger sipped her diet coke, "Wrong Vanity, I'm being honest. Gretchen is a beautiful young lady."
Vanity smiled, "Whatever you say. I have to be going. I'm supposed to catch up with Clark at five, he's taking me to the movies."
As Vanity left Pam looked to Ginger, "Why is she even dating Clark? He used to be so mean to her when she was chubby."

Ginger shrugged her shoulders, "Beats me Pammy, she did have a major crush on him back then. But, yeah he did treat her pretty crappie. Funny how these things work out, I never seriously thought they'd become an item."
Ginger wiped her mouth with a napkin, "My sister's going out with a new guy I haven't met yet. Want to tag a long with me and check him out?"
Pam shook her head, "Yeah, anyways we need to talk."
Curiously Ginger replied, "Sure, what's up?"
The Two friends removed themselves from their table as Pam told Ginger, "Let's wait until we get home. This is a major coffee talk."
Ginger chuckled, "Sounds intriguing."
The girls walked towards the exit and were stopped by Gretchen, "Hello Ginger, Hi Pamela, how are things?"

After a few casual comments Gretchen brought up the beach party, "You're going right? My brother's going to be there."
Ginger smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."
Gretchen asked Pam the same question, though Pam looked to the floor, "I don't know, maybe. We'll see."
The girls conversed with Gretchen and friends a bit longer, and then went on to Ginger's home. Arriving at home the girls discovered Kim in the bathroom getting ready for her date. Ginger stood in the doorway as Kim was drying her hair and noticed that her vain older sister had a slight tummy bulge that poured over her pink cotton panties, looking like a pouch. Smiling, Ginger pressed her index finger into Kim's soft tummy, "Looks like all that ice cream is finally catching up with you."
Kim snapped back, "It's just a little water weight!"
Ginger giggled, "Sorry Kim, I'm afraid you have the start of a big pot belly!"
Kim shoved Ginger out of the bathroom and violently slammed shut the door. Ginger laughed, "Okay porky. Tell me when the latest love of your life gets here!"
A few minutes later, coffee cups in hand, Pam told Ginger, "It's terrible being fat. At the mall you were waited on hand and foot while I was completely ignored. Why? Because I'm heavy that’s why. Even at the restaurant, while you and Vanity talked it was like I was outside looking in. Like I didn't belong, even the guys didn't notice me. Almost as if there's Two different world's, and as chubbier chicks don't belong in yours."

Ginger patted her friend on her thick thigh, "Aren't you being a little mellow dramatic?"
Pam's finger traced the rim of her cup, "Your so perfect Ginger; the perfect face, the perfect hair, the perfect body. If you were like me you'd understand. Fat girls are treated different."
Ginger tried to convince her friend that it wasn't true, but to no effect. The next day as Ginger was walking home from the local community college not far from her home she paused for a moment in front of Leah's antique store. Gazing into the window she decided to stop in for curiosity sake. Leah greeted Ginger right away, "Hello missy, anything I can do for you?"
Ginger smiled, "Actually I'm just looking, you have so many nice things."
Leah took her seat behind the counter, "Thank you missy, I hope you find what you’re looking for."
Ginger approached Leah, "I'm not looking for anything special ma'am."
Leah grinned as she asked, "How about the answer to your question?"
With an odd expression written across her pretty face, Ginger replied, "What question?"
Leah took hold of Ginger's left hand and closed her eyes, "Your wondering if your friend was right. Are thin females treated differently then heavy females?"
Ginger was in shock, "How did you know that?"
Leah continued, "You wonder what your life would be like if you were a heavy gal just like your friend."

Leah opened her eye's and let loose Ginger's hand. Ginger told Leah what Pam thought, and that she felt Pam was over reacting. Leah brought Ginger into the back room. "There's one way to find out missy."
Leah led Ginger to the large full-length mirror with oak trim. "Imagine your life if you were 50 pounds heavier."
For some strange reason Ginger complied with Leah's wishes. Glancing over her svelte barely 125 pound figure looking fabulous in a blue denim shirt and white jeans, Ginger smiled, "Oh I can do better then that Ma'am. What if Pam was slim and I was chubby."
As soon as Ginger made that comment she felt a cold chill run through her body.

Part Two: A Chubby Ginger
Ginger found herself back in her bedroom the day before, and couldn't believe what she saw in the mirror. A chubby version of herself! Wearing only her bra and panties Ginger slowly glanced over her body. Her brown mane was tied in a ponytail; her face was pudgy with ripe full cheeks and double chin. Ginger's breasts were huge, yet firm as her big belly flowed over her underwear. A couple thick rolls lined her spacious waist, and her hips were now very wide. Ginger turned side ways to get a view of her rear end and noticed how her husky thigh's wiggled as she moved. Ginger blinked her eyes in disbelief when she saw her huge bubble butt that pushed outwards and upwards. "This is impossible!" Ginger thought to herself as she left her bedroom and went into the bathroom to check her weight.

Standing on the scale, Ginger discovered she was now 177 pounds. "I'm fat!" Ginger remarked to herself as her svelte sister Kim walked by, bowl of ice cream in hand. "I could have told you that, tubby!" Kim replied as she nibbled on a spoonful of ice cream.
Ginger looked to her sister," If you didn't have your metabolism, you'd be so fatter then I am!"
Kim only laughed as she strolled into the family room, and an eerie thought crepe into Ginger's head, "I'm reliving yesterday! I'm due to meet up with Pammy at the mall."

Walking back into her bedroom as her swollen belly and thick thighs bounced as she moved, Ginger got dressed. Ginger's once trendy wardrobe was replaced by over size T-shirts, flannels and spandex. Putting on a pair of snug black spandex slacks, Ginger faced the mirror, "Oh my gosh! These slacks make my tummy look so huge!" Peeling the slacks off, Ginger was lucky enough to find some over size blue jeans. Next was the search for a matching top, but every thing Ginger tried on didn't look right. Finally Ginger settled on a peach colored T-shirt with the Coca-Cola logo on it. Ginger then let loose her pony tail, and after brushing out her hair, combed it back and let it hang on top of her shoulders. A little dab of makeup completed the picture. Checking herself out in the mirror, Ginger straighten out her over size T-shirt, patted herself on her soft tummy, and took a glimpse of her cute round face, "Maybe now I'm a big girl, but I'm still a pretty chick."

However, Ginger's confidence was cut in half even before she left the house. "Hey, where are you off to tubby?" Kim asked her sister just as she was about to walk out the door. Ginger turned around, "Why are you so mean to me?"
Kim placed her empty bowl of ice cream on the floor, and began eating a candy bar, "Because your so fat. Lose some weight, will ya?"
Ginger whined, "Stop it Kim, okay?"

Kim stood up and walked over to her sister, "Your an embarrassment, don't you know that?"
Ginger unsure of what to say just stood there as Kim got into her face, and bluntly told her," I have a date later today, and I don't want you around when he gets here. Understand?"
Ginger slowly nodded her head as Kim replied, "I don't want him to know my sister's a fat chick!"
At the mall Ginger discovered Pam looking over the same swimsuit window display. Though now Pamela Baines was a slim and trim 124 pounds. Pam's fiery red mane hung over her shoulders, her body looking chic in a preppy red and gold outfit that clung to her figure, showcasing her ample breasts and round, yet small derriere. "I found the perfect bikini for the beach party Ginger!" Pam smugly walked over to her friend, now with the confidence she once lacked when she was a chubby gal, and full of attitude, " I'm going to be the best looking chick at the party! After all, I am so hot!"
Ginger, whose self-esteem was spinning downwards concurred," You look beautiful Pammy."
Pamela cleared her throat," That's Pamela okay? I don't mean to correct you but, Pammy sounds so lame."

Ginger shook her head, and the friends were off to do some shopping. Sure enough the sale ladies paid attention to the revamped Pamela Baines, as Ginger was avoided like the plague. Later at the burger place Ginger discovered her appetite was altered as well. Instead of having a small meal Ginger decided to go wild, and ordered 2 burgers, a large fry, onion rings, a slice of pie, a chocolate shake and a coke. Pamela on the other hand was the friend who had the modest appetite in this reality. Pamela only had a plain burger, a salad and diet coke. As Ginger munched on the first burger, Pamela in a rather snobby tone of voice remarked, "You know if you kept a better eye on your food in take you wouldn't be so fat."

Ginger replied in a whiny little voice, "But I'm hungry Pamela."
Pamela laughed, "You’re always hungry Ginger! I'm your best friend, so I can tell you this. You should really think about going on a diet. Fat isn't hip and you'd be so pretty if you lost 50 pounds."
Ginger looked over her full figure, "I think I look okay."
Pamela smirked, "Tell me that a year from now when your over 200 pounds."
Right on cue Vanity showed up and though she acknowledged Ginger at first, she completely ignored her afterwards. Pamela as well left her friend out of the picture as she conversed with Vanity. Ginger felt as if she was a spectator and not a member of the team. When the same two guys showed up, they flirted nonstop with the slimmer gals, and paid no mind at all to Ginger. The guys left as they did the previous day, the only difference was Flint took Pamela's phone number. When Gretchen arrived Vanity made the same unbecoming remarks, though now Pamela joined in, "She is one fat chick. Who'd believe her brother is so hot."
Vanity replied, "Talk about a paradox."

Pamela turned to Ginger, "You have one big crush on her brother, don't you?"
Ginger shook her head, "Yeah, I like him."
Pamela moved closer to Ginger, "Maybe if you dropped a few pounds you might stand a chance, but I have to warn ya, someone else is interested in Ryan."
Vanity tilted her head and smiled, "I wouldn't be all too surprised if Ryan's worthy enough to take me out."

Ginger's mouth dropped, "I thought you and Clark were an item?"
Vanity sat up straight and flung her mane over her shoulders, "Oh we are. But maybe Ryan has more to offer a girl like me." Vanity stood up from the table, "I have to run, Clark's taking me to the movies." Vanity paused for a moment, then leaned over Ginger, "I'll let you have the first shot at him, okay?"

Ginger looked downward towards the table, not bothering to lift up her head until Vanity left the restaurant. Once Vanity was gone, Ginger glanced over to the table where Gretchen and her friends sat. Turning to Pamela, Ginger asked, "Do you really think Gretchen is that unattractive?"
Pamela replied with venom, "Yeah, look at her. She's a cow." Pamela grabbed her purse and was about to leave when Ginger asked the same question about herself, "What about me?"
Pamela shook her head, then reached over and took hold of Ginger's flabby upper arm, "I told you sweetie, you'd be a pretty girl if you lost some weight." Pamela then remarked, "I'll catch up with you later. Kim wants me to drop by your home and meet the new guy she's dating."
As Pamela walked by Gretchen's table on her way out the door, Gretchen greeted Pam in a cordial manner, "Hi Pam. How you've been?"

Pamela quickly turned around and waved, not even stopping to say hello. A few minutes later Ginger removed herself from her table, and walked over to say hello to Gretchen, "Hi Gretchen. Nice outfit."
Gretchen smiled, "Thanks, why not join us. You know Alicia and Carol."
Ginger pulled over a chair and joined the three young ladies. Alicia Johnstone was a plump pear shaped gal with long silk like blond hair and soft green eyes, while Carol Melton was a slim chick with curly brown hair, and always wore designer clothes that flattered her size 6 figure. Alicia asked Ginger, "Are you going to the beach party?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Ginger replied, "I'm not really sure."
Carol tilted her head in Ginger's direction, "Why not?"
Ginger rubbed her bouncy big belly, "Look at me. I don't think I'd look good in a bathing suit."
Gretchen set down her burger, "Hey, wrong attitude sister. Maybe you're not skinny but, you’re just as attractive as anyone else at this table."
Carol laughed, "Even me!" Carol then nudged Ginger on the shoulder, "Seriously, you shouldn't let your size hinder yourself from enjoying life. Beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes." Ginger smiled as Carol continued, "Gretchen and Alicia already have their suits, and they look great in them."

Gretchen remarked as she resumed in eating her burger, "Yeah, my suit is navy blue with a silver slash across the middle."
Ginger was glowing, "Your not up tight about your bodies?"
Alicia shook her head, "Of course not. After all, we all can't be slim. Any ways who says full figure females aren't attractive."
Then Alicia giggled, "There are guys who actually do like big thighs."
Gretchen took Ginger by the hand, "You have to come Ginger. My brother's looking forward to seeing you at the beach party."
Ginger was amazed, "Your brother is interested in me?"
Gretchen nodded her head, "Yeah, and word about town is, you’re smitten with Ryan too."
Ginger blushed beet red and acknowledged that fact with a big smile. Alicia nibbled on some fries as she suggested, "Let's take Ginger shopping for a swim suit!"
The other two concurred, and after their meal fled to the mall in search of the perfect swimsuit for Ginger. The suit they chose was ruby red in color and had tummy control to minimize Ginger's bulging belly that made her feel self-conscious. "My brother is going to flip when he sees you in this" Gretchen remarked as Ginger tried on the suit back at Carol's home.
Ginger smiled as she marveled at her imagine in the mirror, "I do look good in it, don't I?"
Carol shook her head, "Yeah Ginger, you look beautiful."
Alicia remarked with a laugh, "You’re going to give us some steep competition at the beach!"
Later that evening Ginger called Pamela on the phone to talk with her about the beach party and the bathing suit she bought. Though Pamela was anything but supportive," You have got to be kidding! You! In a bathing suit with your thunder thighs and big belly?"
Ginger found it hard to believe what she just heard, "You know Pamela you make it seem like I'm so huge when actually I'm not at all that heavy. Any ways I think I look great in the suit I bought."
Pamela laughed, "Wear it if you want to, but trust me, you’re a lot heavier then you think you are."
Ginger became angry, "So I'm a big girl. That doesn't mean I can't look attractive."
Pamela continued to give Ginger a hard time, and within a few minutes the conversation was over. Some hours later, just before bedtime Ginger stood naked in front of her mirror pondering over Pamela's cruel statements concerning her body size. Caressing her big round belly, Ginger thought to herself out loud, "Pamela wouldn't be so smug if she was as fat as I am." Then a thought entered her head, "Tomorrow I'm returning to the antique store."

Part Three: A Reversed Reality
Upon entering Leah's antique store, Ginger walked right up to Leah and politely told her, "I would very much like things to be returned the way they were, okay? Please Ma'am."
Leah who was dusting off the counter remarked, "Sorry missy, no one's ever been through the mirror twice."

Ginger whined, "But I hate the way I'm treated now."
Leah shook her head, "Maybe some people treat you different but, you have two new friends, and there's a young man who admires you just the way you are."
Ginger agreed that Leah was correct, but insisted, "Okay, but let's return Pamela to her old self, because she was such a sweeter person and better friend when she was chubby."
Leah drew a breath, "Well, okay missy, but this is the last time. You won't be able to alter your reality ever again."

Standing in front of the mirror Ginger was told by Leah, "I can't make any promises, though I can tell you this much. Expect other changes as well as your own. Some things will remain the same, while other things will indeed be different."
Ginger smiled as she glanced into the mirror, and in a flash was back at home in her bedroom. Once again standing in her underwear, Ginger was focused on her reflection in the mirror that hung on her bedroom door. "Oh my!" Ginger remarked as she saw her even bigger belly stretching the fabric of her cotton granny style panties. Looking to her much rounder face with even fuller cheeks and thicker double chin, Ginger remarked, "I'm even heavier then I was before!"
Making a dash to the bathroom, Ginger hopped on the scale, "I'm two-hundred and twenty-seven pounds!"

Walking by the bathroom was Kim, bowl of ice cream in hand. Stopping in the doorway, Kim remarked as she engaged in a spoonful of the ice cream, "At least your not as fat as me."
Ginger turned to her sister and almost fell off the scale when she saw the change in Kimberly's appearance. Kim was now a 300-plus gal whose once oversize nightgown barely fit her corpulent body. Kim's hairstyle had also changed from long and flowing to short with brown roots. Patting her immense potbelly, Kim remarked, "I wish I had your body. Your the one with the looks."
It was true. Somehow the added pounds made Ginger look cute and appealing, but Kim looked frumpy and plain. "Oh Kimberly, you look fine. All you need to do is use a little make up and fix your hair."

Kim smiled, "Oh yeah, I'll look into it. Talk to you later, I don't want to miss my show."
As Kim went to watch some television, Ginger got dressed to meet up with Pamela at the mall. Ginger was pleased to discover for whatever reason she had a much more stylish wardrobe this time around, just perfect for a big beautiful woman. In a black T-shirt and white slacks, Ginger looked fabulous. Her wavy brown hair complimented her round comely face, and with just a hint of blush and lipstick, Ginger was all set to meet up with Pam. Once at the mall Ginger discovered Pam to be heavier as well! Though Pam was now a much bigger young lady at 276 lbs, Ginger could tell right away by the way Pam was dressed, that her poor self-esteem was forever gone. Pam's vibrant red hair was still long and curly, and her sweet face was only slightly chubbier. Pam's fuller figure, more generous in size looked delicious in a purple cotton blouse and blue jeans. "Hey Ginger! I was looking over these swimsuits, but this store has nada for us plump chicks!" Pam continued as she walked over to Ginger, "Maybe the 16 plus shop might have something for us, what'cha think?"
Ginger hugged her pal, "Your back!"

A weird expression touched Pam's face, "Okay. I'm back from where?"
Ginger laughed, "Never mind."
Stepping back, Ginger asked, "You’re going to the beach party?"
Pam looked oddly at her friend, "Sure I am. Are you feeling all right? Remember we made plans to attend together?"
Ginger shook her head and replied, "Yeah, actually Pammy I do."
As the two friends wondered off to the 16 plus shop, Pam remarked, "I hope Emma decides to join us."
Ginger was amazed, and thought to herself, "She called Vanity by her proper name? Is Vanity altered as well?"

Shopping at the 16 plus store the girls found the perfect suits that flattered their full figures. After shopping and right on cue, Pam suggested that they grab some lunch. Ginger agreed, especially since she was curious about how Vanity would look when she showed up. Ginger was very happy. Maybe a few strangers gave them funny looks as they wandered the mall due to their size, and most guys didn't stop in their tracks to scope her out any more. However Ginger did spot a couple of guys giving her and Pamela the eye, which just made Ginger feel all the more secure about still being attractive though no longer a size 4. Though best of all, Ginger had her best friend back, and minus the inferiority complex.

At the burger place as the girls spoke about the up coming beach party, Ginger noticed a very chubby, butterball shaped young lady enter the restaurant. Making eye contact with the maiden, Ginger realized it was Vanity. Vanity's face was now extremely round, her high cheekbones replaced by chipmunk like cheeks that sported the hint of acne, and a prominent double chin. Though still a pretty gal, Vanity looked more like a well-fed country girl then the cover girl-type many people assumed her to be. Missing also was her long flowing brown mane with blond high lights, for Vanity now had short reddish-brown hair tied in bouncy pig tails. Dressed in a yellow T-shirt that was so small on her that it exposed the rolls on her thick waist, and a bit of her big belly that slightly peeked out over her dark green spandex slacks. Vanity's upper arms lacked muscle tone, and her breasts, thighs and butt were capacious in size. Vanity, once again known as Emma was now 294 pounds. Emma smiled at her two friends, "Hey, I'll be right back. I'm going to grab something to munch on."
A few minutes later Emma was seated with her friends as they continued to talk about the beach party. Pam took a sip of her soft drink, then reached for some onion rings, "So do we have to twist your arm, or are you going to the beach party?"

Emma bit into her burger, "Well, I thought it over and I've decided to go."
Ginger smiled, "Oh great, I'm glad your going to join us."
Emma shook her head and replied as she gobbled up the rest of her burger, "Yeah I'll go but, I'm not going to wear a swim suit. I'm going to wear some khaki shorts with a nice top."
Pam helped herself to some of Ginger's fries, "I'm sure you'll look fantastic."
The conversation wore on and Ginger was both surprised and delighted that Emma was a much nicer person in her heavier persona. Emma was not only more down to earth, but spunkier with a rather humorous attitude. When the guys walked in Ginger wondered if they would react in the same way and come over to their table and flirt with them. However it didn't happen the same way. At first the guys completely ignored the girls, but when Pam went to the service counter to order a milk shake, Flint Ventura walked over and greeted her. They spoke for a good five minutes or so, then after receiving her shake Pam returned to her friends. Ginger buzzing with excitement for her friend asked, "So who's the guy?"

Pam slurped her shake, then replied with a cheery smile, "Flint Ventura. He's going to meet me at the beach party."
Ginger laughed, "Way to go, girl!"
Pam was ecstatic, "He even asked me for my phone number!"
A short while later Gretchen arrived with her friends. An altered reality Gretchen who was now slim! Gretchen looked great in a red halter-top, which showed off her well-endowed bust and flat tummy, and white shorts that drew attention to her tone, yet slightly plump thighs. Gretchen's face was now diamond shaped with high cheekbones, as her hair was full of body, long and curly, resting over her shoulders. Alicia was also slim; matter of fact she was skinny with small breasts and very narrow hips. Alicia wore a light blue cotton dress that looked a size too small on her waifs figure, but her short preppy hairstyle only accentuated her gentle, pretty face. However Carol was now a big beautiful young woman of 180 pounds. Carol's hair was still brown and curly, but absent were her designer duds, exchanged for a gray sweatshirt and over size blue jeans. Gretchen walked over to Ginger's table. "Hi, your all going to the beach party, aren't you?"
Ginger replied with a smile, "Yeah sure, why?"
Gretchen pulled over a chair and joined the three friends, "Carol wants to go, but she's a little self-conscious about her body. Maybe you could help her feel a little better about herself. Maybe even help her find a swimsuit?"
Ginger nodded, "Sure, why not?"
Gretchen smiled, "Thanks a bunch. Alicia and I are always telling Carol how beautiful she is but, maybe hearing it from other people might be more forceful."
Pam concurred, "Yeah, always hearing it from the same people only gets repetitive."
Then Gretchen turned to Ginger, "I shouldn't be telling you this but, my brother really likes you."
Ginger shook her head as she nibbled on some fries, "Yeah that's the word around town but, I like him too."

Gretchen laughed, "Good to hear that. We'll keep this our little secret, okay? He's been driving me off the wall talking about you. He deserves to sweat it out a bit, don't you think?"
Ginger replied with a wink. Moving to adjoining tables the six girls mingled together and spoke of various issues including shopping with Carol for a swimsuit. Ginger told Carol, "You're an attractive young lady, all you need to do is find yourself a more stylish wardrobe."
Pam and Emma also did their part in helping Carol with her poor self-image by giving her more then a few examples on how good looking she happened to be, and why she shouldn't let her body size get her down. Later on after Gretchen and her Two friends parted company, Pam turned to Ginger, "Hey, I'm going to be stopping by your place later to see your sister about some guy she has a crush on. Think you'll be home?"
Ginger responded with a bright smile, "Yeah, I'll be home."
Turning to Emma, Ginger invited her to join them, "Are you game for an old fashion session of girl talk? Maybe we could even order a pizza?"
Emma shook her head, "Sure, count me in!"


Epilogue

The beach party was an astounding success, especially for Ginger and her friends! Ginger looked stunning in her dark red swimsuit, with matching ribbon in her hair. Ryan was floored when he saw her and couldn't keep his eyes off her the entire afternoon. Pam in her hot pink with purple polka dots swimsuit hooked up with Flint right away, and didn't leave each other's side for the whole event. Flint even fed Pam ice cream and rubbed sun tan lotion over her big beautiful body. Emma who wore a light blue T-shirt and khaki shorts looked cute. Emma had her hair done in a bob style that only flattered her chubby, gorgeous face. However as luck would have it, Emma ran into Clark who in this reality was still rude to her. "Hey! Have a little respect and put some clothes on. We don't need to look at your thunder thighs!"

Emma stood in shock until she heard a male voice say, "Hey Clark! Give the chick a break and leave her alone!"
Emma and Clark turned to see a tall young man with sandy blond hair. The man was a few inches taller then Clark, and as he moved closer to Emma, Clark quickly left the seen. "Hi, I'm Ken Gossage. How about joining me in a soft drink?"
Emma laughed, "I'm Emma. Sure Ken, if my thunder thighs don't get in the way!"
Even Kim showed up in a bright gold, green and blue sundress that showcased her ample belly. Ginger left Ryan for the moment, and walked over to greet her sister. Ginger was amazed at her Sister's change in appearance. Kim's hair looked great, brushed back with a barrette holding it in place, as the slight use of make up made her face look more then just a little pretty. "I see you took my advice."

Kim nodded as Ginger continued, "You look beautiful."
Kim hugged her sister as she remarked with a song in her voice, "I feel beautiful but true beauty is actually who you are inside, rather then what you look like on the outside. After all, isn't physical beauty in the eye of the beholder?"
Ginger took Kim by the hand, "Come on, I would like you to meet Ryan."
