The Reform Diet

Yet another story about bug queen getting big.

>The Canterlot 'dungeon' was quite comfortable and well-lit, as befitting a kingdom as peaceful as Celestia's.
>Accessed through the old crystal mines, it had only a single hallway of cells, built of polished stone and strong iron bars.
>At the end of the torchlit hall was a single room with a raised stone platform in the center.
>A modest bed, table and washstand sat on the platform, against the wall.
>Surrounding it was a glowing pink field, a powerful shield wall spell cast by Shining Armor himself.
>And in the center of the enclosure sat the dethroned changeling queen, Chrysalis.
>The queen sat on her haunches on the stone floor, her form rigid and defeated.
>Long black ears bent down defeatedly, and her holed blue mane obscured her face.
>Her silent reverie was broken as she sensed the sound of hooves and the clattering of wheels in the dungeon hall.
>The changeling opened her large green eyes and glanced up towards the entryway.
>She grimaced in simpering anger as Princess Cadance, decidedly not-dethroned leader of the Crystal Empire, appeared before her, towing along a small covered trolley.

>"So, it's you," the changeling queen spat. "Come to gloat at my capture already?"
>"There's not much to gloat over," the pink princess replied impassively. "I heard you didn't put up much of a fight."
>"I was exhausted, hungry, and had my army stolen from me," Chrysalis replied with a flash of anger. "You know you couldn't beat me in a fair fight."
>Brushing aside her comment, Cadance gave her a small smile.
>"Princess Celestia has tasked me with watching over your imprisonment."
>Queen Chrysalis rolled her eyes.
>"You'll be under my care until you are reformed, and are no longer a danger to our kind."
>The changeling sneered. "I supposed you'll be here a long time then, for I will NEVER capitulate to a pony princess!"
>Cadance sighed. "So be it..." she remarked, as her horn glowed and she levitated the cell's small table around to sit in front of the changeling queen.
>"But as long as you are here, I am in charge of taking care of you."

>Princess Cadance reached out with her magic again, pulling a plate of something out from under the covered trolley she had arrived with.
>It floated over, passing effortlessly through the shield spell and placing itself on the table.
>Chrysalis looked down to see a bakers' dozen cookies, each frosted with pink icing and decorated with tiny red candy hearts.
>The changeling smirked. "Is this your idea of a joke, or just an inept form of torture?"
>"Eat up, Chrysalis," the princess replied. "The guards say you haven't eaten since you got here."
>The queen turned her nose up. "I have no need of your vile pony food! We subsist on emotions, not sweets!"
>"Of course, you're welcome to bring a certain guard stallion down here. I'd be happy to drain him dry," she remarked with a wry glance.
>Princess Cadance's face grew angry for a moment, but she closed her eyes and buried the feeling, returning a small smile to her face.
>"Are you sure? I helped make them myself. There's a little dose of love baked into each one. Thorax tells me they are quite delicious for a changeling."
>Chrysalis bristled with the mention of the traitor's name, yet she said nothing, and merely turned her nose up at the offered cookies.
>Unfortunately, a gurgling growl from her stomach gave away her intense hunger.
>The changeling had indeed not eaten since she had fled from the changeling hive.
>Her stomach was sunken inwards and in dire need of nourishment.
>Casting a hateful glance at Cadance, Chrysalis cautiously levitated one of the offered cookies towards her mouth.
>With a sigh, she opened her mouth, biting into the sweet.

>Queen Chrysalis could indeed taste that these were no ordinary pony confections.
>An inkling of love danced within the cookie, accenting the sweet sugary flavor that changelings would have ordinarily found bland and unsatisfying.
>The queen had not eaten anything like it, not even while she was impersonating Cadance during the royal wedding preparations.
>Chrysalis swallowed and took another bite, chewing slowly to not let on that she enjoyed them.
>Nevertheless, the cookie was chewed and swallowed up in four bites flat.
>The changeling began reaching for another before her gaze met the princess.
>Chrysalis scowled, pulling her hoof back and stepping away from the table.
>Cadance let out a thin smile, looking away absentmindedly.
>Another growl from her stomach forced the changeling to reconsider, and in a moment she had begun biting into another cookie.

>"Now then," Cadance remarked as the queen began eating, "would you like to know about your changeling hive?"
>Chrysalis swallowed the last bite of the second cookie, then scowled. "I have NO interest in my traitorous former swarm!"
>"Ok-ay then," the princess said in a delicate voice, "but I'm sure they miss their queen. Thorax said-"
>"And DON'T mention that TRAITOR'S name in my presence!" Chrysalis shouted, spewing crumbs everywhere.
>Cadance paused for a moment. "...But they do wish you to return," she said quietly. "Many of them have already rejected their new forms. Something about 'preserving their way of life.' It's making it very hard for them to make new friends."
>Chrysalis let out a smile at that. "Good," she replied, reaching for another cookie.
>"And Thorax has already tried stepping down," Cadance continued. "Something about not being able to handle the 'stress' of leadership. He's not a natural born ruler, for sure."
>Chrysalis swallowed. "What a shame," she replied mockingly, before taking another bite.
>"You could be their queen again!" Cadance said insistently. "All you have to do is agree to be reformed and-"
>"NO," Chrysalis said flatly. "It is my DESTINY to rule Equestria. I will not give up until all ponies, and ALL their love is MINE."
>Chrysalis broke from her monologue to swallow another cookie before continuing.
>"You may keep me imprisoned here, torture me all you like, but someday I WILL have my revenge."

>"Torture? Oh please." This time Cadance rolled her eyes.
>"Admit it, princess," Chrysalis intoned. "You just want to see me suffer before your eyes."
>"Really? You seemed to enjoy those cookies quite a bit."
>Chrysalis' eyes widened as she stared at the empty plate, then back at the amused princess.
>"I...I was hungry, of course. You've been starving me in this dungeon for days!"
>Cadance gave a little smirk before turning back towards the trolley behind her.
>With a flourish, she pulled off the covering, revealing three shelves laden with delicious-looking cakes, pies, cookies and other confections.
>Cadance levitated a half dozen cupcakes forward and placed them in front of the imprisoned queen.
>"Monologue all you want, Chrysalis. But under my watch, the last thing you'll do is starve," Cadance said.
>"In fact, while I'm here you'll receive all the love you can eat."
>Chrysalis' stomach could only growl hungrily in response.

>"Ugh...no more..."
>Cadance looked up from the empty serving trolley.
>Feeling full, my Queen?" she remarked with a hint of condescension.
>Chrysalis backed away from the table, an empty plate of crumbs the only remnant of the mini toffee cake she had just swallowed.
>Her stuffed stomach bulged pregnantly, distending the green bands and black flesh of her middle.
>"Feel...sick..." Chrysalis replied, moving towards her bed to lie down.
>"Not to worry, Chrysalis!" Cadance said happily. "I know just the spell to help."
>Her horn glowed, and a wisp of pink magic wafted over, passing through the barrier spell and straight towards Chrysalis' head.
>Upon absorbing the spell, the startled queen's own horn lit up, and her banded middle glowed bright green.
>Cadance watched as the changeling's full stomach began shrinking rapidly as its contents began rapidly digesting.
>Within moments Chrysalis' middle was soon back to normal.
>"Aah...and what was that?" Chrysalis asked nervously.
>"Just a little spell I learned from Princess Celestia," Cadance replied. "It does wonders for relieving tummyaches."
>Chrysalis stared at her warily, just as a royal guard pony appeared towing another covered serving trolley.
>"Ah, just in time! Thank you." Cadance remarked to the guard, who bowed, cast a wary glance at the imprisoned changeling, and hurriedly rolled the empty cart away.
>To Chrysalis' surprise, the princess pulled the cover away from the new cart, revealing another three shelves laden with all manner of pony desserts.
>"Now I know you may not be hungry," Cadance said, levitating a slice of carrot cake into Chrysalis' cell, "but when you are, please do try some of this new batch. The castle chefs are so eager to try these new changeling-approved recipes, and the LAST thing I want to do is let you go hungry."
>With that, Cadance began strolling away towards the dungeon exit.
>Chrysalis watched her captor cautiously, her stomach growling faintly.
>Before she had made it down the dungeon hall, she heard chewing and lip smacking behind her.

>"More cookies!" Cadance sang out as another plate of chocolate chip cookies levitated into the dungeon cell.
>They landed just as the last morsel of chocolate fudge was snapped up by the ravenous queen.
>The princess watched as Chrysalis contemplated the new plate of treats, her belly swollen full again from the last train of sweets.
>Cadance smiled as Chrysalis' horn lit up, the digestion spell working to digest her meal.
>The princess noted with approval that her captive's middle was beginning to look a bit thicker than usual.
>Her belly mellowed into a soft curve even as the spell emptied her stomach.
>Chrysalis' tiny rear was looking quite a bit more shapely as well.
>Cadance grinned as the queen began shoveling cookies into her maw.
>It was all going according to her plan.

>"Had enough yet, Chrysalis?"
>The changeling queen glared back at Cadance, her mouth full of blueberry pie.
>The princess returned a smug smile as she inspected her captive's body.
>Chrysalis had fattened up well in just a few hours; her belly bulged round and heavy with pudge and half-digested sweets.
>The three bands of her middle plumped outwards as they stretched around her gut.
>Quite a bit of weight had settled in her rear, her plump ass resting atop her thickened thighs, which tapered down to her long, still slender legs.
>"I will stop whenever I feel like it!" the changeling retorted after swallowing, right before she reached out for another slice.
>"Very well!" Cadance replied innocently. "I'm just SO glad you've been enjoying my baking. Once I get started sometimes I feel like I never want to stop!"
>"Now, what should you try next?" Cadance asked as she uncovered and pulled forward another heaping cart of sweets.
>"The strawberry pie is still hot, but these frosted scones should be ready, and so is the cheesecake..."
>Chrysalis' large eyes stared greedily at the pile of confections, her mouth open slightly, a spot of drool rolling down her fangs.
>Her horn flashed green again, to Cadance's smug delight.

>Chrysalis groaned while she shoveled bonbons into her maw.
>Her belly had swollen almost comically round, pulling her chitinous back down with it.
>The queen's legs quivered and shook as they struggled to hold up her heavy belly and fatter ass.
>A pink glow caused the changeling to lift her gaze up towards her captor.
>Cadance was levitating a set of large, comfortable-looking pillows into the cell.
>"Wha-rr thosh furr?" the captive asked trough a mouth full of chocolate.
>"I thought I might make you a little more comfortable, Chrysalis," Cadance replied, setting the pillows on the floor behind her prisoner.
>"Have a seat!" she said with a smile.
>"I'll not...take orders...from you!" the changeling replied through a mouthful of chocolate truffles.
>The princess of love rolled her eyes.
>"Take a load off, Chrysalis," Cadance said, "I INSIST."
>Her pink magic reached out and pushed the queen off balance, tipping her back onto the pile of pillows.
>Chrysalis gasped as she fell backwards onto her ample rear.
>Her stuffed potbelly spilled out before her, jiggling like gelatin as it forced apart her hind legs.
>The queen groaned and cradled her middle, the fall upsetting her full, sloshy stomach.
>Her horn reflexively lit up and immediately her gut receded as its contents digested.
>Cadance watched her captive sink a little further into the cushions as another inch of fat was added to her hefty flanks.
>"Now then," the alicorn continued, "I know how much you like chocolate, but our chefs felt a change of pace was in order."
>The pink princess wheeled in a new cart stacked full of fruit pies
>Chrysalis gasped as she caught sight of the warm, flaky baked goods, each generously glazed with frosting and sugar.
>In an instant she was scooping pies off their plates and stuffing them past her plump lips.
>Her stomach swelled with each swallow, slowly bloating her round barrel past her seated haunches and pushing it against her forehooves.
>Cadance huffed a little as she watched.
>Perhaps her plan was working a little TOO well...

>Chrysalis moaned between shoving whole slices of strawberry cake into her face.
>Her chubby cheeks were stained with fruity filling, chocolate frosting and cake crumbs.
>She lay helplessly on her side, using her magic to relentlessly pull food towards her.
>A pile of pillows underneath did their best to cushion her ever-increasing bulk.
>The obese changeling's belly bulged massively outwards, a blubbery sphere which rounded out past her forelimbs.
>It even swelled out past the pillows, her green belly bands each pooching outwards like translucent balloons.
>"Care for some more, my queen?" Cadance asked as she entered the room, phasing through the magic barrier with yet another tray loaded with cakes and pies.
>"Yes...more love..." Chrysalis answered lazily, her magic reaching out for the fattening sweets.
>Cadance frowned as the gluttonous changeling pulled a quarter slice of chocolate cake, and another massive slice of banana cream pie.
>She watched in disgust as Chrysalis began to stuff both slices into her mouth at once.
>Crumbs sprayed from her maw, as frosting mixed with drool dribbled from her fangs.
>Her cheeks swelled as the desserts filled her mouth.
>Chrysalis closed her eyes, her mouth smiling in contentment as she slowly chewed the massive mouthful, then swallowed with a wet *glorp*.
>Green light flashed and the queen's gut added another inch of digested flab to her body.
>This has gone on long enough, the pink princess thought to herself as she watched her captive gorge.
>She quickly deposited the rest of the sweets on the table, then dumped the tray onto an empty serving cart and wheeled it towards the door.
>Cadance trotted off to the kitchens to fetch one last batch of 'love' for her captive.

>"Nnng...where..." the queen rumbled, her voice somewhat muffled by her plump cheeks.
>The changeling struggled to look around, but the thick flabby ring of her neck prevented her from seeing much.
>Chrysalis lay on her belly in the middle of the cell, her body a massively bloated sphere of fat.
>Every inch of her body was swaddled in thick, black flab.
>Her thickened forehooves waved feebly against her plump breast as she tried to move towards the empty serving table.
>"I think you've had enough, Queen Chrysalis."
>The changeling looked past the table to spot Princess Cadance staring angrily back at her.
>"Give...me more! GIVE!" the changeling roared.
>"NO!" Cadance shouted back. "You've had more than enough, you fat monster!"
>"Look at yourself," the princess said scornfully. "Fattened yourself up off your hooves, and you still beg for more!"
>The changeling queen's eyes darted back and forth as she flexed her lethargic limbs, becoming fully aware of how massive she had become.
>Her cheeks blushed red as realization and embarrassed rage flushed into her pudgy face.
>"You...did this to me!" Chrysalis wheezed.
>"I did no such thing, you big evil bug!" Cadance retorted. "You've been using that digestion spell on yourself this whole time."
>The changeling scowled at the realization, and the princess smiled.
>"Maybe if you had some self control and refused my sweets, you could have controlled your gluttony for our love."
>Chrysalis fumed as Cadance lectured her with a growing smugness.
>"Poor changeling queen. It's ironic, isn't it? Your lust for our affection has destroyed your figure, as well as your hive!"
>"A fitting punishment I think, for my slender nemesis to be rendered immobile by her own gluttony. An excellent first lesson for an evil changeling queen."
>The princess smiled as she turned to leave.
>"Oh well, I suppose I'll let you work it off on the royal parade grounds as your reformation continues. It's a shame that Twilight-"

>*BANG*
>A flash of green light sent Cadance reeling backwards, her body smacking into the dungeon's wall.
>The dazed alicorn looked up, eyes widening with shock as the pink shield spell cracked, shattered and dissipated.
>Chrysalis' crooked horn glowed and crackled with raw magical energy, an evil grin plastering her chubby face.
>"B-but I thought..." the princess stuttered.
>"What? That a changeling's magic would not be empowered by love-tainted food?" Chrysalis said mockingly.
>"Foolish pony, you know nothing of my species."
>"Ironic, isn't it?" the changeling sneered. "Your stupid plan has empowered my magic more than anything I could accomplish myself!"
>Cadance felt a wave of panic rising within and started inching for the door, only to be stopped in her tracks as her body was enveloped in green magic.
>The princess struggled vainly as her body was dragged towards the massive queen.
>Chrysalis grinned as she shifted her massive bulk, rolling backwards onto her massive rump.
>Her bloated, jiggling belly spilled outwards towards the helpless alicorn, now suddenly captive in her own dungeon.
>"Now then," Chrysalis said, adjusting her blue mane with a plump forehoof. "I suppose I could turn you and Shining Armor to dust, blast apart this castle and escape right now."
>Cadance stammered, then was shushed by a wave of a holed hoof.
>"But I believe you mentioned I'd be getting 'all the love I could eat' while down here."
>The pony cringed nervously as the changeling's eyes lit up.
>"Oh yes, little princess. You'd best get back to those kitchens. Because right now...I'M STILL HUNGRY."
