Vibes: *falls asleep, unaware of her now megaslowed metabolism*

THE NEXT MORNING...

*Van sees Sal, looking distinctly frazzled*

Van: Morning Sal.

Sal: Naff off.

Van: What's that for?

Sal: Your girlfriend. 

Van: What's wrong with her? Aside from the usual.

Sal: She was making noises. Like a walrus wrestling with a waterbed.

Van: well she did guzzle an entire chocolate fountain after 10 chili super bowls

*Sal slaps her hand to her forehead*

Sal: What the heck is wrong with that girl?

i...may have dared her

*Sal looks annoyed*

Sal: You DARED her? And there was me thinking you were a good influence on her!

Van: You do know you're not her Mum right?

Van: besides you know her metabolism. worst could happen is an extra 10 poun- *gets punched in the arm* ow! what?

Sally: nothing. look just go check on her

*Van sighs*

Van: Fine.

*As he goes up Sal checks herself in the mirror*

Sally: *pinches her waist* hmph

Van: Vibes you o- *opens the door to vibes's room and sees vibes....not quite herself*

*Van looks shocked as he sees a massive belly poking out from Vibes' pyjama shirt*

Vibes: Is it that noticeable?

Van: Uh...the belly? not so much.... *sees her butt, hips, and legs giving her pj bottoms a strength test*

*Vibes gulps as she looks downstairs*

Vibes: Don't suppose you fancy bringing breakfast in bed?

Van: You have to see her sometime V.

Van: you wanna get it out of the way now? or when she comes to make you work?

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: Fine!

*She slowly gets out of bed*

Van: *helps her* could be worse. you coulda been immobilized

*Vibes doesn't look impressed*

Vibes: Not helping.

*Sal covers her ears as Vibes thumps down the stairs*

Sal: Vibes can you...?

*She looks at her*

Sal: I knew this would happen one day.

Vibes: *looks down*

*Sal sighs*

Sal: How many times have I told you? There would come a time when that great metabolism
     of yours would slow down.

Vibes: Oh come on! I don't need the 'I told you so' from you, you raging hypocrite! I'm
        going to go full speed mode and come back looking skinnier than you dream of!

Van: guys calm down.

Sally: ha. you can barely see past your chins. you won't be able to burn that off like you usually can

*Vibes is now red with rage*

Vibes: You watch me! SPEED MODE!

*Vibes goes faster though it now seems like a jog rather than a run*

Van: *sighs* really sal

Sally: shut up!

Van: ..that skinny remark hit a bad nerve didn't it
