Section One--Meeting the Shoops
Television star. Cox, spun her cherry red corvette off the freeway, down an old dirt road, some miles behind Hollywood where her troubles laid. It hadn't been a good day for Nikki, first her hair stylist was over an hour late, then while filming her TV show the director took 17 takes to film the same scene, which to her standards still wasn't funny. Afterwards, as she took a break at the beach, to go over the script changes that were made just that afternoon, fans seeking autographs and photos taken with her mobbed Nikki. However as irritated as Nikki got, she really hit the ceiling at lunch when her manager made remarks about her food intake! As Nikki sat behind the wheel she played his words over again in her mind.
“Another milkshake?!? After all that pizza that you just shoved in your mouth? People have invested a lot of time and money in you! If you don't start watching it, you're going to become a fat cow. Then where will your career be?”
That was enough for her. Nikki walked right out the door, and took off in her car, not caring where she went just to get away. She thought out loud as she drove over some bumpy gravel, “I wish I could just be an average young woman, eat what I want, do what I want, just blend into the crowd.”
Just then, her back tire hit a sharp object in the road, and went flat. Stepping out of the car, Nikki inspected the trunk for a spare tire. For the moment things looked as if they were turning her way, until Nikki remembered that the spare tire was also flat. After slamming the trunk in anger, Nikki lit a cigarette then looked off into the distance for any sign of on coming traffic, but all her eyes revealed was an empty road, and the surrounding tall trees. Grabbing her purse Nikki made tracks in search for help.
As Nikki began her journey her mind still rehashed the events that happen this day, and she secretly wished she could just get lost, and no one would be able to find her. Nikki did however find some amusement in her long stroll. Laughing she remarked, “My manager would be so pleased too know I’m walking off all those milkshakes and pizza slices I had this afternoon. Though maybe it would be great to actually get FAT! Just in spite of him. Sure maybe my career would bottom out, but at least I would not have to deal with the price of fame anymore.”
As Nikki walked over a makeshift wooden bridge she spotted a huge red house with black trim. Once Nikki got closer she surmised, “A millionaire must live here, this building has to be at least four stories high!”
In a matter of minutes Nikki was up the steps and rang the doorbell. A young woman about Nikki’s age answered. Full figured and exceptionally pretty, with short blonde hair tied into a ponytail. Her 190-pound body was dressed in a snug purple t-shirt and light green spandex. Smiling at Nikki, she then turned her head and at the top of her lungs shouted, “Momma! We’ve got company!”
Turning back to Nikki she said in the sweetest southern accent, “I'm Brenda Shoops, Momma be right here in a second.”
Nikki smiled, “Hi, I'm...”
But Brenda cut her off, “Aren't you on the T.V.?”
Nikki blushed just a bit, and smiled. Coming to the front door was Brenda's mom, a stout woman of about 275-pounds, with short graying black hair wearing a light blue cotton dress. “Land sakes honey, what's all the fussin' about?”
“Momma, look who's here! It's Christina Applegate!”
Nikki's mouth dropped, “Excuse me but I'm Nikki Cox!”
“Never mind who ya are honey, come on in.”
And Nikki did. After momma introduced herself and Brenda, Nikki told them what had happen, and if she might be able to use the phone. Mrs. Shoops told Nikki, “Not to worry. I'll send our handy man to fix your tire, why not sit down and join us for supper?”
“Sure”, Nikki replied, “that'll be great.”
As the three of them sat down to the table, a maid brought in several platters of food. Brenda leaned over to Nikki, and speaking in a whisper told her, “I know you Hollywood type's are always dieting, but you better eat something or momma's going to be offended.”
Brenda encouragement didn't really matter, cause Nikki was hungry and the long stroll had really worked up her appetite! Nikki started with a large helping of mashed potatoes, loaded with butter, biscuits soaked in gravy followed, then a large bowl of noodles covered by a rich sauce. All washed down with four large glasses of milk. Afterwards Nikki ate various French pastries for dessert.
Mrs. Shoops smiled, “You keep eating like that girl, you’re going to have to buy yourself a new wardrobe!”
Nikki hung her head down. “I wish I could, but in the business I'm in your slim or unemployed.”
Brenda inquired, “Don't you just love being on T.V. and being famous?”
Nikki grabbed another pastry, and told the women what had happened earlier in the day. As Nikki concluded she added, “I wish I could be just a regular girl, even if it meant getting fat. I could just be myself, and not have to worry about my weight, or fans or anything.”
Mrs. Shoops then invited Nikki to spend the night, since it was getting late and everything. Nikki accepted and the rest of the evening was spent playing board games and girl talk. Before bedtime Mrs. Shoops excused herself for a few minutes (actually a half hour) as Nikki and Brenda watched a little T.V. and snacked on chocolate candy. When Mrs. Shoops returned she handed Nikki a large glass of milk.
“What's this?” Nikki asked.
“Never mind child drink it, it will help you sleep, and I'll tell you more in the morning.”
Nikki stayed in a large guest room, and was fast asleep as soon as she got under the covers. Brenda woke Nikki up at around noon, and Nikki was amazed she slept so late. Climbing out of bed she felt somewhat odd, not only was she a little dizzy, Nikki was very, very hungry. Brenda handed Nikki a yellow cotton gown, socks, and under garments. “Momma sent me to the clothing store first thing this morning, hope you like’em.”
As Nikki got dressed she noticed her tight flat tummy was now somewhat soft and protruding a little, and her thighs were no longer firm but, flabby. Nikki sat down on the bed.
“What's wrong Nikki?” Brenda asked.
“I feel so lightheaded,” Nikki replied as Brenda helped Nikki up, and escorted her to the dinning room.
“Aren't you hungry Nikki?”
Nikki shook her head yes, though verbally added, “I'm not to sure if eating right now is such a good idea, the meal I had last night really took a toll on my body.” Seating Nikki into the chair Brenda wrapped a huge bib onto her and added, "Momma's going to be here in a little bit, just start without her."
Nikki eyed all the food, five sausage links with countless slices of bacon four large omelets, six donuts, a stack of pancakes, and a big bowl of oatmeal filled with butter. Nikki was battling her will power, she just couldn't eat another huge meal, like she did yesterday. Nikki turned to Brenda, mouth open and speechless. Brenda smiled, “Go ahead Nikki, all this was made specially for you.”
Nikki again faced the table and lost all her will power. Nikki wolfed down the oatmeal, then polished off the sausage and bacon, next the pancakes, which she herself laid thick slabs of butter, and syrup all over. As Nikki started on the omelets, Mrs. Shoops walked in and handed Nikki a large glass of milk that she drank right away. Mrs. Shoops smiled and then sat down next to Nikki, as she continued her feast.
“Nikki, I was touched by your story, and I'm going to help you accomplish your wish.”
Nikki paused for a moment, then Brenda handed Nikki a donut, and she continued eating as Mrs. Shoops continued to speak, “My family made its money in the pharmaceutical industry. Making wide variety of drugs, sleep aids, cough medicine, you know. Well Nikki in your milk I slipped a little something we call A.W. 1500. It was first offered to farmers to fatten up their live stocks, but the F.D.A. wouldn't approve it so we just dropped the product off the market.”
Nikki burped, then smiled, “Got any more sausage?”
Mrs. Shoops nodded her head and Brenda went to see the cook about frying up a few more links. Mrs. Shoops continued, “Nikki dear, your appetite will increase, your metabolism will decrease, at first your going to feel a little dizzy, but that should clear up in about a week, though you’ll never lose the weight you gain,” Mrs. Shoops brushed away Nikki's bangs and kissed her forehead, “I'm going to make your wish come true. Your appearance will change so much in the next couple of months, no one will even suspect your Nikki Cox. You'll just be an average looking FAT GIRL!”
All Nikki could say was, “Is that sausage ready yet?”
Section Two--Nikki's New Life
As the weeks went by Nikki became somewhat of a couch potato, eating vast amounts of food at mealtime; then lying on the couch eating junk food while watching TV. At evening time after dinner, Nikki would play board games with Mrs. Shoops and Brenda, as they would snack on all kinds of sweets. To add effect to Nikki's change of appearance, Mrs. Shoops cut Nikki's long hair and finger nails short, and bought her large size t-shirts, spandex slacks and frumpy looking cotton gowns.
The weeks went by quickly and Nikki was no longer a slim young maiden. Late one night Mrs. Shoops discovered Nikki sitting on the kitchen floor wearing nothing but her bra and panties eating ice cream from right out of the carton. “Hope you’re not angry at me Mrs. Shoops?” Nikki asked, her mouth full of ice cream as she spoke.
“No of course not dumpling, eat as much as you like.”
Nikki stood up, and Mrs. Shoops turned on the kitchen lights. Mrs. Snoops smiled at Nikki's progress. Nikki's once defined facial features now were soften with chubby cheeks and the start of a double chin, and her upper arms had no muscle tone. Nikki's breasts increased in size so much that they were almost popping out of her bra. A thick roll of fat hugged her waist as her protruding belly hung over her panties stretching the fabric. Her posterior had gotten plumper and filled out, starting to push downwards towards her meaty thighs which shook like Jell-O as she walked.
Mrs. Shoops invited Nikki to step on the scale in the bathroom. “168-pounds!” Mrs. Shoops laughed, “Not bad baby, but we can do better then that!”
In the morning Mrs. Shoops gave Nikki another big glass of milk, laced with AW1500. As the months went by Nikki was accepted as a member of the Shoops family, Mrs. Shoops even told Nikki to call her Momma as Nikki and Brenda started to behave like sisters. As Nikki became heavier then Brenda, Nikki would tease her by saying, “Don't mess with me sister, I'm bigger then you!”
Nikki would stay up all hours of the night watching TV and snacking, sometimes she would read romance novels all day in bed while munching on cookies. Six months went by overnight and Nikki was all set to go out in public for the first time since arriving at the Shoops home. Brenda invited Nikki to join her for a day shopping at the mall and Mrs. Shoops concurred, “What a beautiful idea”.
Looking over her reflection in the full-length mirror hung in the hall, Nikki was amazed by how much her appearance had been changed. Though still a pretty young woman, Nikki's face was now very round and chubby, with swollen cheeks and a thick double chin. Nikki's sleeveless pink cotton dress exposed her flabby upper arms, as her ample breasts laid on top of her big belly. A variety of rolls lined her thick waist, and her hips had spread out rather wide. Nikki's huge butt stuck out, yet hung low onto her thunder thighs. The dress brought attention to her corpulent belly, which she patted in pride. “I'm really a big girl now”, Nikki smiled, as she threw a kiss at her reflection.
At 255-pounds, Nikki was indeed a new person. Without a hint of make up or jewelry as she was custom to wearing, Nikki was now just an average looking heavy young lady.
Mrs. Snoops walked into the bathroom, “Well, well dumpling, I see your ready for your little excursion.”
Nikki smiled, “Yes, Momma I sure am.”
“You no longer look like Nikki Cox the television star, so why not give you a new name?”
Nikki shook her head yes, as Mrs. Shoops thought for a minute then announced, “From now on you'll be Edna Shoops.”
Nikki threw her arms around Mrs. Shoops and kissed her on the cheek, “Thank you, Momma. I love that name.”
Before running off to join Brenda in the car, Mrs. Shoops put Nikki's short hair into a small ponytail. “Now your ready to join your sister, have fun Edna!” Nikki laughed, “I will Momma! I will!”
At the mall located just outside of Hollywood, Nikki was delighted. No one bothered her for autographs or snapshots to be taken with her. Matter of fact most people ignored her including the guys who used to flirt with her or make crude remarks . Even the annoying pushy saleswomen who used to get on Nikki's last good nerve left her alone, unless she would ask for help. At one point both Nikki and Brenda had a good laugh when a saleswoman told Nikki, “You have such a pretty face, why not try to lose some weight?”
Nikki didn’t care, she was now free from her former life. Another month went by and Nikki began to hang out with Brenda and her friends, who got to know her as Brenda's cousin Edna Shoops from Chicago. Eventually Nikki/Edna found employment at the local movie theater working at the refreshment counter. Which made Mrs. Shoops remark, “Your still in show business!”
Looking cute in her red tie and blazer, white shirt, and black skirt. Nikki/Edna even found herself an admirer, Todd Webber, a handsome young man a year older than her and who was the assistant manager at the theater. Todd was smitten with Nikki/Edna from the start. He fell in love with her sense of humor, knowledge of television shows, and sweet nature. Todd also found Nikki/Edna very attractive, especially with the way her tight fitting clothes showcased her beautiful full figure. Todd even found her eating habits sensual.
Even though Todd was the shy type, he did find enough courage to ask her out, which was foolish since Nikki/Edna had started to form a crush on Todd as well! Todd wasn't demanding nor stuck on himself like all of the men she had known in Hollywood. Todd was also a good listener and kind to a fault, though as she got to know him better she discovered plenty of other aptitude, mainly that Todd accepted her as is, an average young lady. Though to Todd nothing was average about Edna Shoops at all.
