... but she hadn't accounted for how slow and clumsy her new fat body was. Beth easily snatched the Chronivac out of reach as Tara almost tumbled over the table. At the last minute, she caught herself and tried to steady her chubby frame with one of her bloated arms.
"Bad idea," Beth tsked. "I guess you want to be changed a little bit more. I can do that for you."
Tara still had her old height, but that would change soon. While the other girl was still recovering from the effort of having lunged to snatch the Chronivac, Beth set the height dial to 5' even and leveled the machine at Tara.
She watched with satisfaction as her rival realized that she was now getting shorter, too. All of Tara's new pounds were compressed into an even smaller frame. Her pear shape now exaggerated even more dramatically than before, Tara was beside herself. Beth stood up to show that she was at least half a foot taller than her rival, now.
"Hm, anything else?" Beth mused out loud, as Tara tried desperately to straighten herself up so that she was at least level with Beth's chin. "Oh, I know." She tweaked a few more buttons and pointed the gun. "Your face still looked a little too adorable," Beth explained apologetically as the changes took hold. "I thought it might be appropriate, given your new body, that you have a little piggy snout and some piggy eyes."
"What..." Tara mumbled, but Beth was already holding up her phone, so that Tara could watch as the changes took place. She figured it out all at once. Her nose was shifting upward, growing ever pudgier and more like a snout. Her eyes, meanwhile, were getting smaller and beady, nothing like the brilliant green she had retained until just a moment ago. When it all stabilized, Tara's facial features were crowded together in the center of her now round face, as though her plump cheeks had encroached on her eyes, which now peered out dimly. Tara realized with dismay that even worse than just being a fat girl, she had become an _ugly_ fat girl, with no remaining cute facial features to distract from her double chin or her sagging breasts, her thick waist or her chunky thighs.
"That should be enough," Beth said briskly. "Now, I think we should go see your boyfriend."
