Claire spent the rest of the day and well into the night conversing with Vega-11 pausing only when the AI reminded her that she should go and eat dinner which she did in the privacy of her own room so that she could continue getting to know the voice in her head. They were even on first name terms with Claire finding it unnatural to keep on adding the 11 to Vega whenever she spoke.
Once 23:00 hours rolled around Vega-11 suggested that Claire might want to get some sleep but she still had plenty of questions. One was concerning her more than others though and she decided to ask as she snuggled down under her blanket.

McOpoly
I have to tell you about this awesome experience I had just the other night in a McDonald’s of all places.
So, my boyfriend and I had just gotten out of the cinema after a late showing, sure I’d had snacks while we were watching the film – large popcorn and Coke with a bag of Maltesers, but I was hungry by the time I got out and my man wouldn’t deny his princess.
So, we headed to the only place local that was still open – McDonald's. I got a quarter pounder with cheese meal, large of course with a chocolate shake and a side of Mozzarella dippers. Delicious at any time.
My guy jokes that he doesn’t know where I put it after eating in the cinema not even an hour ago, my answer is always the same.
“You know exactly where I put it” I reply, rubbing my tum as I slurped on my shake
This brings a smile to his face as he motions to my cup.
“Are you gonna see if you won anything?” he asked before stuffing the last of his fries into his mouth.

Battle Fat sections 1-5
“Wake up sleepy head”
It was the first thing that Claire Connors heard as she roused from her chemically induced incapacitation, with a groan she attempted to shift herself to a seated position.
“Whoa, easy there. We’re keeping you supine for just a little while until we can run a few tests, the doctor shouldn’t be long now.”
Claire scrunched up her eyes as she tried to stretch, noting how she was still sore from her procedure.
“Can I get something to drink? I feel like I’ve been thirsty for days”
“Not until after the doc sees you, just try to relax for now.”

Commission - Vengeance is Fat part 7
Two days later found Lara and Greg sat in the back of one of Ramone’s converted mini vans while they waited for its owner in a McDonald’s parking lot. They were joined by Gillian and Sharon who had agreed to join them when Lara called and gave them the specifics.
They’d hold an intervention for Diane, inviting her and Jean to lunch knowing full well that Diane wouldn’t turn down a free meal from her sister and Jean would jump at the chance to add more inches to Diane’s waistline.
Sienna had suggested the location; a friend’s restaurant would be the perfect setup. They had secured a private room and ensured that they wouldn’t be disturbed. Lara was sure she could make her sister see sense, how could she not with the evidence she would show her?

5 Minute Fiction
Not done one of these in ages so I thought I'd treat you before releasing the final part of Vengeance... tomorrow.
“And now we head over to Samantha outside the supreme court who I believe has the latest word on the landmark Flexi-Loss case, Samantha I hear there has been what may be considered a rather strange ruling?”
“That’s right Mary, the official verdict has found that Flexi-Loss had no legal right to offer its clients weight-loss services in any shape or form anywhere in the world.”
“And what does that mean for Flexi-Loss and its customers?”
“Well this is where this ruling becomes a little strange Mary. Chief Justice has deemed it fair that Flexi-Loss should cease all trading immediately, furthermore they are being ordered to refund anyone who has purchased products from the company.”
“That’s not the strangest part of the ruling though is it Samantha?”
“Not by a long shot Mary, the judgement has also come down that Flexi-Loss are legally bound to ensure that any weight lost using their products illegally is regained as soon as possible.”
“Now that’s going to come as a bit of a blow for many people won’t it? Obviously, people using the controversial weight loss product won’t be pleased to regain the weight they had lost.”
“Well it’s a blow that they will have to come to terms with rather quickly Mary, the ruling states that anyone who has purchased Flexi-Loss products must report to their local distributor to undergo the reversal of the weight-loss procedure as soon as possible and has put a grace period of thirty days in place to allow customers to report for what is ostensibly enforced fattening.”
“And what if these customers don’t report in a timely fashion?”
“Chief Justice has planned for such an occurrence Mary, stating that customers will gain an additional 1lb of weight for every day past the thirty-day deadline that they fail to turn themselves in, with no cap on the amount of penalty weight gain, anyone who thinks they can run from this ruling may find it quite hard to run once Flexi-Loss catches up with them.”
“Well speaking personally as a Flexi-loss customer I can say that I’m not exactly looking forward to regaining my holiday pounds and I’m sure many viewers are in the same boat. Forgive me for speaking frankly Samantha, but I’m surprised that you are in such a good mood, didn’t you use Flexi-Loss to lose over 200lbs before you worked here at Channel 6?”
“That I did Mary!”
“Then why are you so happy? Why are you laughing?”
“Technically I’ve never purchased anything from Flexi-loss, my procedures were purchased by my ex-husband, all of the weight I lost was recorded in his name!”
“Ah, perhaps a technical oversight in the ruling there.”
“Well I for one welcome it! I’m off to the pub to celebrate! Signing off.”

Commission - Vengeance is Fat part 6
Lara and Greg pulled up to Ramone’s house at around 3pm the following day, Greg decked out in a casual shirt and jeans and Lara opting for a flowing sundress, her wardrobe having shifted to fit her newly enlarged figure once again.
They were greeted at the door by an enthusiastic Latina woman.
“You must be Lara and Greg! Come in Come in! Ramone is so pleased you could make it, it’s been an age since he’s seen any of his old friends!”
“Well it’s a nice surprise to run into him online like that err...” Greg paused
“Oh where are my manners?! I’m Sienna, Ramone’s wife.”
“It’s nice to meet you” smiled Lara
“Come on through, Ramone is manning the grill, no surprises there huh?” she winked at Greg
“Haha, yeah I guess not” laughed Greg awkwardly.

That She is.
While i'm busy working on writing Vengeance... parts 6 and 7, I'm unfortunately ill today so I thought I'd share this little story that was inspired by a music video from one of my favourite acts.
Bonus points if you know which one.
Enjoy x
I got home late in the evening, it had been dark out for hours and I’d spent the day at work followed by a stint at the gym. Circuit training then yoga.
I was weary as I sat on my bed, my body ached from how hard I’d been pushing myself, especially my sore feet. No doubt a good soak in the bath would help me feel better, I just needed to rest my eyes for a minute though and I lay back on my bed.
