Templeton had arrived at a stand that served barbecue. He could smell mountains of raw meat and sugary sweet sauce, but the thing that had gotten his attention was the stand's main attraction: a massive roasted pig, proudly displayed whole on a spit. Some fresh meat was just what he needed to weigh his bubbling stomach down and get his evening back on track.
"Hic. Come on, stomach. Hiiic." With one mighty shove, Templeton's belly was carrying him towards his next meal. He crashed into the spit, and his weight sent the pig crashing to the ground. His belly's momentum kept him moving. Templeton tumbled forward and crashed into the pig, his stomach erupting in burbles and sloshes. He dug his claws into the meat to stop his stomach from dragging him away again.
Up close, the pig seemed massive, even bigger than Wilbur. It smelled delightful.
"This will be a feast to remember," he sighed happily, and he sank his teeth deep into the pig's belly. His mouth immediately filled with succulent juices, and he groaned with pleasure at the taste. He tore a massive chunk of meat off the carcass and swallowed it whole. It fell into the liquid soup in his stomach with a noisy splash. Templeton grabbed a second mouthful, and a third. Because the chunks of meat were the only solid piece of food in his gut, he could feel them knocking against the walls of his stomach. His belly rumbled happily at the promise of a filling meal.
Templeton attacked the roasted pig with his teeth and claws. Barbecue sauce dribbled over his face and fur. He was forced roll himself forward, on top of his massive gut, so he could better reach inside to the meatier parts of the pig. As he ate and his belly bulged outwards, all four of his feet left the ground, not that Templeton cared. When he'd eaten so much that the pig's belly was a thing of the past, he paused to indulge himself a loud belch. He dug his claws into the pig's thigh, and with a series of noisy sloshes, pulled himself over to the pig's haunches. Even those few inches were almost more than his feeble arms could handle- the meat in his belly had soaked up a good deal of the soda, and he was unbearably heavy.
Templeton gorged himself on the pig for hours, pausing only to shift his body once he'd picked an area clean, or to belch deeply to make room for more meat. So much eating and very little movement caused him to dramatically balloon up in size. He balanced himself precariously atop his churning, sloshing belly as he ate, patting what he could reach and giggling at what little chance he had of touching the ground again. Even so, he kept eating, even as his belly tightened up with fullness and it became harder and harder to swallow. He tore the last bite of spare rib off the pig's skeleton, and was forced to use both his front paws to shove the morsel down his throat.His gorge shifted to make room for it with a sickly squelch. Templeton woozily looked back and forth for where his gorge would take him next, only to be pleasantly surprised.
There was no meat left. He'd already eaten it all.
Almost the entire pig had vanished into his belly- all that was left was the head, the curly tail, the feet, and a pile of bones, all held together by mere scraps of muscle sinew. The visual evidence of how much he'd eaten was overwhelming. Realizing that it was finally finished, his bloated stomach groaned with relief.
Templeton's mouth opened, and he released a massive, exhausted belch.
"Urrrrrrrrrp. What a night," he moaned, squinting his watery eyes to survey his handiwork.His belly had grown so much that it pushed him more than a foot off the ground. It was packed as full as he could get it and drum tight to the touch, which he verified with a few hearty slaps. He'd also massively bloated out on either side. His fat tail swished uselessly back and forth into the air. With a satisfied groan, Templeton dug his claws into the pig's head- the only thing heavy enough to act as a counterweight to his engorged belly- and slowly rotated his massive body to allow him to lie on his back, propped up against the bones. His stomach was finally allowed to expand freely, and it happily did so, bulging outwards another couple of inches. The overstuffed rat moaned happily at the release in pressure. His stomach rewarded his efforts with another heavy belch. Templeton licked his lips and savored the flavor of the roasted pig as it returned to his mouth.
"So...urrrrrp... good," he moaned. His belly was so big that it blocked his view of what was in front of him. A loud hiccup forced its way out of his overfull stomach, causing the whole mass to wobble. "Hiiiic. This fair is the best- hic- thing that's ever- hic- that's ever happened to me." His uncontrollable hiccups made him giggle, and he slapped his belly again. At the spot he'd struck, a low gurgle began that slowly grew and spread up through his overstuffed stomach before it erupted from his mouth as another satisfied belch.
"Urrrrrrrp. I had no idea pigs tasted so- hic- good. No wonder- hic- Zuckerman wants to eat- hic- hiiiic! No wonder he wants to- hic- eat Wilbur. Hic! Hiiic! Urrrrrp." Templeton licked his lips again. As he spoke aloud of Wilbur's predicament, he remembered why he was here- to find a word for Charlotte. Now that he'd eaten his fill, should he fulfill his promise?
"Hic. Well, anyway, I won't be- hiiiic- leaving this spot for a while," Templeton giggled, patting the swollen gray sphere that he'd turned himself into. "Hic. Hic. Hiiiilp."
