Personal Trainer

Yet another story where Chrysalis torments Shindig and his wife, though hopefully not as grimdark as the last one.

The door to the Crystal Palace bedroom burst open as a triple decker food trolley clattered into the room. The polished silver trolley was loaded down with the finest baked goods in all of the Crystal Empire. Clinking dishes containing thickly-frosted cream pies, dense slabs of chocolate torte and cheesecake, and piles of rich iced brownies and sugar-sprinkled cookies covered every inch of shelving, with several dishes threatening to spill over the sides.

Pulling the trolley to a stop with his teeth was an exhausted-looking Shining Armor. The royal stallion panted as he relinquished his grip and shakily trotted forward beside the tower of desserts. The Crystal Empire's prince was thin to the point of emaciation; ribs showed through his barrel and around his starved, convex middle, while his thighs and rump were flat and worringly bony. Toned muscle around his neck and forelimbs did little to inspire confidence in his super-lean physique. Shining's mane and fur were matted and slick with sweat. A sweatband was snapped around his head, while a curious obsidian ring adorned his horn.

"It's about time you got here!"

Shining Armor gulped as he meekly faced his personal trainer. Yet none other than Chrysalis, queen of the changelings, trotted forward to meet him. Or rather waddled, as the changeling had put on quite a bit of love-weight these past few weeks. Chrysalis' once rail-thin rear had thickened into a hefty bubble rump which wobbled with each step, while a round pot-belly bulged beneath her back carapace, its girth bisected by three plump green bands. The Queen's holed legs were still quite slender, but every other inch of her was softened with pudge, from her breast and neck to her rounder cheeks, which did little to diminish her large buglike eyes or evil fanged muzzle.

"What in Equestria too you so long?!" Chrysalis cried at the Prince in exasperation.

"S...stairs..." Shining Armor panted in reply, glancing back towards the door.

Chrysalis huffed. "Well it serves you right. It's no wonder you aren't making progress, if you cannot complete such a simple exercise in time!"

Shining hung his head in shame as the changeling levitated forward his full-length Personal Improvement Mirror. She stifled a smirk as the pony prince gazed up into the mirror and cringed at his reflection.

A thoroughly obese stallion stared back at Shining Armor. His reflection sported chubby chipmunk cheeks and a double chin, with his neck and legs softened with blubber and an embarrassingly plump belly rounding out his barrel. The real Prince signed forlornly, a sparkle from his horn ring and a faint green glow in his eyes belying the changeling magic that had bewitched both him and the Mirror.

"Now then Shining, it's time for your morning cardio regimen. Hurry up, you won't lose weight by just standing around!"

The already dangerously thin stallion trotted determinedly over to his corner of the bedroom, which was cluttered with exercise mats, weight sets, and a manual treadmill carved partly of glittering crystal. Within minutes, Shining was galloping in place, his tongue lolling out as he panted and gasped with each stride.

"Keep it up, Shining!" Chrysalis called. "And at least you brought up the trolley intact. Your wife is practically wasting away!"

The changeling fought to suppress an evil smirk as she gripped the food cart with her magic and wheeled it towards the bedroom's other occupant. Princess Cadance sat on the floor, her haunches propped up by a nest of thick pillows. Chrysalis stopped for a moment to survey her handiwork.

Whereas Shining Armor was lean to the point of starvation, Princess Cadance was a blob of fat, her huge form a comic juxtaposition to her husband. The pink princess' fat body towered over the stallion's height, with every inch of her back and sides buried in many inches of thick, soft flab. Two enormous globes of rump bulged beneath her, dotted with adipose and sinking deeply into the assembled bedding cushioning her immobile form. Her back legs were swollen thick like overstuffed sausages, splaying out to her sides and leaving her back hooves dangling uselessly above the floor. Cadence's unkempt mane draped around her neck, which had swollen into a thick ring of adipose that framed her soft, jiggly face.

An embroidered cloth bib was stretched taut around her neck and double chin, and was caked with powdered sugar, chocolate spatters and shortbread crumbs. A tall wooden table stood before the Princess, which was covered in plates and platters of delicious, mostly-eaten confections from Canterlot. Cadence lethargically surveyed her table, reaching out with her weakened magic to levitate forwards a procession of baked goods which she pushed into her mouth, her lips smacking and cheeks jiggling as she attempted to chew and swallow in as ladylike a manner as possible. The Princess' belly bulged outwards underneath her feeding table, a taut sphere of stomach and flab beset with stretch marks, which gurgled and groaned as Cadance continued stuffing herself.

"Your majesty, Shining Armor has returned with your second breakfast," Chrysalis announced, hiding herself behind a mask of sincerity. "I am grateful for his help with your dieting, despite his busy exercise schedule. Oh, how lucky you are to have a husband as attentive and helpful as he is!"

Princess Cadence smiled and nodded, but could not make out more than a muffled "mmmhmmph," for her mouth was full of chocolate cake. She struggled to chew and swallow while casting a glance at several empty pitchers of juice on the table.

"Oh dear!" Chrysalis said with mock concern, "all out of refreshments. You must be terribly parched!"

The changeling queen reached out with her magic to grab a tall crystal pitcher of ice cold whole milk, levitating it towards the pink princess' face. "I have just the thing. Now open wide, your majesty!"

Chrysalis tilted the pitcher forward, pouring the creamy milk directly into her mouth. Cadence dutifully swallowed in deep, rhythmic gulps, rivulets of cream streaming from the corners of her lips and down her messy chin. Her body quivered with each gulp as the fattening dairy filled her already full stomach. The changeling queen stifled a grin as she watched the pink pony's gut bulge out further underneath the table with a low bodily groan. After half a minute the pitcher was emptied and pulled away, leaving Cadence to pant a few times before letting loose a low, milky belch.

"Well done, Princess!" Chrysalis purred, already reaching out with her magic to restock the table with the contents of the serving cart.

"M-Miss Trainer, my stomach hurts..." Cadence feebly patted the drum-taut swell of her belly.

"That's just your body telling you how hungry you are! You simply must try and eat something!" Chrysalis lied, levitating more and more decadent sweets onto the table in front of her.

"Have...have I at least been making progress?" the pink princess asked, a hopeful smile on her flabby face.

Chrysalis gave a facetious frown before levitating the Personal Improvement Mirror in front of Cadence. The princess gave a gasp of shock as she glimpsed herself. Her reflection was nearly skeletal, with gaunt cheeks and a feeble neck giving way to thin, nobby limbs and a wretchedly underfed middle.

"I am sorry," said Chrysalis in mock sympathy, "but gaining weight takes a great deal of time for somepony with your metabolism. The important thing is that you keep to your diet and avoid strenuous exercise.

"Don't worry," she grinned, "we'll have you at a proper weight for a princess in no time!"

Cadence gave a sad huff as she surveyed her falsely malnourished reflection. As Chrysalis levitated the mirror away, the Princess pony refocused herself on the pile of sweets before her, pulling a whole chocolate cream pie towards her mouth and taking huge gulping bites of it, scattering crumbs and filling everywhere.

Turning away, Queen Chrysalis took a moment to admire her own reflection in the Mirror; that of a tall, trim crystal pony with an off-white coat and a sparkling orange mane done up in a bun. A barbell and spatula cutie mark adorned her disguised flank. The changeling smiled before levitating the mirror into the corner to face both herself and the hapless royal ponies.

"I...love you...Cadence!" Shining called to his wife between gasps of breath on the treadmill.

"*Mmfh*...I wuv *mph* you too *mmph* Shiny!" Cadence replied in between gulping down mouthfuls of deliciously sweet desserts.

A wisp of magical energy emanated from each of their unicorn horns, floating towards each other before being snatched away and absorbed by Chrysalis' own crooked horn.

"Ahh..." Chrysalis purred as she settled herself on her haunches, leaning against the warm pink flesh of Cadence's bloated body. She smiled and licked her lips as she felt the couple's love energy enter her body, swelling her own pudgy belly imperceptibly as she fed on their affection.

"Oh my little ponies," Chrysalis sang evilly in a magical aside to herself, "I am SO glad I chose this method of feeding on your love. It is so much more... ~delicious~ than simply draining you both dry!!"

Cackling to herself, the changeling reached out her magic to increase the speed on Shining Armor's treadmill, while levitating another slice of cake towards Cadence's waiting maw.
