Just before Ellie could leave the department store with Harper and Skyler, she noticed a familiar face beneath equally familiar locks of reddish blonde hair. The body beneath that face, however, was much slimmer than she remembered. Ellie had seen that face countless times while surfing through BBW porn on the 'net. That girl had to be jellyvixen698!
Ellie tugged excitedly on Harper's arm. "Harper, look! Look at that girl! That's jellyvixen698! You know, the gainer camgirl?"
Harper shook her head. "Can't be. She's way too skinny to be jellyvixen."
"It's the exact same face," Ellie argued, "give or take a few pounds. I wonder what happened to her."
Harper shrugged. "Let's ask her."
The two girls walked up to Kristi and Joelle. "Hi," said Ellie. "I just wanted to ask you, are you jellyvixen698?"
Kristi smiled sadly. "How'd you recognize me without my signature potbelly?"
"I'd know you anywhere, Jellyvixen!" Ellie said enthusiastically. "I used to be chubby, and I watched you SO obsessively when I was fourteen and fifteen when I was still learning to love my size. You showed me just how beautiful and sexy a round, jiggly belly and big fleshy arms and legs could be."
Kristi's smile grew happier. "Thanks... though you really shouldn't have been watching porn at that age if I'm being honest. I'm glad I made you feel beautiful, though. You can call me Kristi (that's my real name), and this is my girlfriend Joelle."
"Awesome to meet the real you in person, Kristi!" Ellie said, shaking Kristi's hand. "I'm Ellie, and that's my girlfriend Harper. So, what made you want to slim down? You seemed to really love your flabby body. Was it all an act? Did some asshole doctor force you?"
"I never wanted this to happen," said Kristi. "It just sort of... happened. On its own, I mean. I honestly tried to gain it all back, but I couldn't. I guess my BBW days are over."
"Holy crap!" Ellie gasped. "The same thing happened to me! I used to have this amazing spare tire right here." Ellie gestured at her flat, chiseled stomach. "And now it's gone!" She snapped her fingers. "Just like that! And I absolutely HATE my new body! I..."
"Wait!" Kristi interrupted. She sniffed the air. "You guys smell like werebeasts... with overtones of... hyena, I think."
"WHAT?!!" Harper gasped. "How the FUCK did you know about that?!"
"Because I'm a werevixen now," said Kristi. "That's how I lost all my padding. I was at my grandma's house to collect an inheritance, and I found this weird belt made out of fox fur. I stupidly tried it on, and I turned into a skinny-ass anthro vixen! It was awful!"
"That's why we're in Stokerville," added Joelle. "We found out the belt was from this store called Morgana's Services for the Strange. It specializes in magic, and the owner told me that the only way I'd ever be my fat self is if I join some kind of exchange program to join a magical sumo school for Japanese magical beings. It's owner makes a chankonabe that can get around my new metabolism."
Ellie's face lit up. "Hey, I'm gonna be part of the same exchange program! Morgana and the kappa master are supposed to get the government to set the program up today. I'm waiting for them to call me to say it's been done. We'll be classmates! Oh, fair warning, Morgana may have to give you a cock if the kappa master's gonna accept you."
"I can deal with that," said Kristi. "In the camgirl business, exotic is money."
"This program's gonna be great!" said Harper. "And not just for us either. It'll really broaden the horizons of Stokerville's magicals. Besides the would-be sumos who get to go to Kyodainayokai-beya, magical teens in Washington state can sign up to study abroad in one of several Japanese schools that have a significant magical membership. Stokerville will also be getting yokai Japanese students studying here from all kinds of magical Japanese schools. The cultural exchange'd be awesome for everybody."
"Sounds cool," said Kristi. "I can't wait to be part of it. Well, Joelle and I'd better be getting back to our hotel. Bye!"
Kristi and Joelle turned to leave. Joelle halted in her tracks. "Wait! Kristi, did you pay for those clothes?"
Kristi's face turned red. "Oh! I guess I... forgot. Yeah. Forgot. Yeah, definitely."
Kristi awkwardly took out her credit card and paid the cashier. She left with Joelle, her face still flushed with embarrassment.
