Princess Celestia awoke.

Everyday she still woke at the crack of dawn the raise the sun. It was still something that was ingrained in her being. These days she hardly indulged in much magic except what she needed to do. Her horn glowed, and for a moment, it illuminated what could only be described as the fat-cavern that surrounded her head.

The Princess no longer spoke, not that she was able to. Her mouth was completely full with piping that extended down miles of her flab and out the other end of the huge cave of fat, connecting to various depots, farms and other food depositories around Equestria. Even whilst the Princess slept, she was constantly being pumped full of food to keep her growing. It was something she had been doing for so long that she had forgotten what it was like not to eat. As per usual, she could feel the delicious and rather sweet mixture that she was always fed entering her maw and adding to her enormous size.

The cavern of her body where her head was situated was many miles wide and tens of miles long at this point, propped up by various magical spells tended to by her loyal subjects. With her increase in size, the Princess herself had found her magical abilities had grown along with her. Raising the sun now was hardly something she even noticed doing anymore. But casting spells was draining and she much preferred only using her magical abilities to perform necessary actions.

She looked around, as much as she could. Her head was locked in place by the mounds of fat that surrounded her. She had given up on any movement long ago, all the Princess could feel was as every day, her hooves were completely encased in blubber that had expanded around them. Her whole body continued to push against the landscape as it always did. She had no ability to move it, even a little, anything she felt was down to the elements acting on her. Being mountain sized, she could feel the wind rushing against her belly, the sun beating down on her flanks. Of course her servants kept her as comfortable as they could but it was like fighting a battle against a living, breathing mountain.

Celestia however was still the ruler of the Empire. Although her main goal these days focused entirely around gaining weight, she still had duties to perform. She moved her focus a little to the left. There was a screen hovering in front of her face that flickered into life. Her royal advisor, Raspberry Beret, a small mountain of a pony himself was situated on the other end. He smiled through his chubby cheeks.

“Good morning your highness, are you well today?” He asked. He never expected a reply however. The Princess could not speak with her mouth full of feeding tubes, instead she would simply gently glow her horn once for yes and twice for no. It generally gave him all the information he needed to have any queries answered.

“Firstly as always we have taken your weight. You are as of a few hours ago 853,300 pounds. We are hoping to introduce a new feed soon that should almost double how much you gain with the same amount of food we send down the tubes to you. R&D are just finishing up research now but results are promising. Something special to help you reach the million pound mark.” Raspberry smiled, but got nothing back but an unblinking stare from the Princess. “Would you like to know the weight of your fellow Princesses today?”

There was a single gentle glow of the horn.

“Very well. Your sister, Princess Luna is now 825,500 pounds. I expect of all the things you still feel her against you. My apologies Princess, our best minds are working on ways of moving her off Canterlot to allow you more space to grow and on better weather control devices. They still have not cracked that one yet.” he replied. No response from the Princess. He thought it best to carry on. “Princess Twilight now encompasses much of Ponyville, the town has been relocated closer to the Sweet Apple Acres manufacturing plants. At last check she was just over 600,000 pounds. Finally in the crystal empire, Princess Cadance is about to reach the 500,000 mark whilst Shining Armour is not far behind her at 390,000 pounds. It is impressive how large he has gotten without royal blood.” he finished. “I have some items of business now, if it suits you to discuss?”

Another single glow of the horn.

“Firstly, whilst I mentioned earlier the idea of moving your sister from Canterlot, it only temporarily solves the problem of how much weight the Canterlot can take. As you are well aware Princess, the city is built on top of mountain. Our geologists and other scientists believe that even with the support beams, the plane that you and your sister currently rest upon will become unstable at 3,000,000 pounds when you reach that size and likely collapse as you approach 4,000,000. However before that, you simply will expand to such a point where your body will in effect, completely crush the mountain.” he explained. “With your permission my lady, and this may be hard but we can see no alternative. We would like to move yourself, Luna, Twilight and eventually Cadance and Shining Armour to your own separate colonies. This is not something that will need to be done for hundreds, possibly thousands of years but we need to begin researching a contingency plan for when you all become...continent sized.”

There was a pause for a moment, then a faint, single glow of the horn. Clearly the Princess had to consider the proposal.

“I’ll get our scientist on to it. There is only one other order of business. The pipes we use to keep you fed are degrading in some places. Some parts need replacing. For an hour this evening we need to shut off supply to perform the works. Is this acceptable?”

Two gentle glows of the horn, almost immediately from when Raspberry finished his sentence, he knew that would not go down well.

“I understand, an unacceptable loss of gaining time. In which case we can replace the parts and keep feeding you, but it will require placing new pipework to you and removing the old ones from your maw, then making the new ones a permanent fixture. The changeover should take mere moments.”

A single gentle glow. The stallion always knew there had to be an alternative.

“Thank you my lady, we’ll begin work shortly. I expect sometime in the next week the worker ponies will make it to you to make the changeover but I’ll keep you informed. I will now run down the daily list of questions as instructed.” he said. It was important to do a check on her wellbeing.

“Are you satisfied with your current gain still?”

One glow.

“Any feelings anywhere of abnormality, uncomfortableness?”

Two glows.

“Do you require any cleaning anywhere?”

Two glows.

“Finally, is there anything off the agenda you wish to discuss?”

Two glows.

“Thank you Princess, I will be back tomorrow at the usual time. Have a pleasant day gaining.” the stallion said, the screen flicking off. The whole ordeal had taken maybe five minutes but Celestia always tried to rush it along somewhat. She had no real interest these days but to keep increasing her mass.

The cavern went dark again as the screens glow faded and her magic did also. The mare could not remember the last time she saw the sun, but she could always feel it beating down on her body when she raised it. If she squinted, she could make out a tiny spec of light at the end of the tunnel of fat that seemed to stretch out in front of her for many miles.

The Princess closed her eyes, that was her duties done until the sun needed to be raised tomorrow. With a number of satisfied gulps she settled into her never-ending feast, the tubes providing everything she needed. It was good to be the biggest Princess, she hoped the gaining never ceased.
