"The enhancer sounds dangerous," Liara thought aloud. "But...not as dangerous as stealing food from a Krogan..."
Ashley looked relieved. "I was hoping you'd be fine sticking with the formula."
"You were hoping...?" Liara asked innocently.
"Er, yeah. Didn't want to deal with getting caught by Wrex," Ash said dismissively, thankful that Liara wasn't picking up on her rather transparent motivations. "In any case, the enhancer isn't alone, we're going to need a lot of food. I can probably lean on the quartermaster to get some extra rations, but that'd take a while to get here..."
"Are you certain we can't use it sooner?" Liara pleaded, desperate to get started on this impossible gambit for Shepard's affection. Ashley chuckled at her insistence.
"I was just getting to that," Ashley continued. "While Shepard's off in the citadel doing whatever, there's a nice little restaurant on the Presidium that can work for you."

"Gordogan's? What kind of name is that?"
"No idea," Ashley said as the pair of them looked at the stylish neon sign advertising the cozy little restaurant, which admittedly looked rather shoddy next to the other shiny storefronts. "But the owner's a Krogan who specializes in 'foreign' cuisine, which means we can get very large portions for a good price."
"How do you even know about this place?" Liara asked. "I've never heard of such a store, let alone one on the Presidium."
"I...have my ways," Ashley said coolly, leading the Asari to a table. As the pair of them sat down, a disinterested looking waiter appeared nearby to take their order.
"I'll have a bacon burger, all the usual trappings," Ashley said. "And she'll have the Tri-Burger Special."
The waiter scoffed and looked over at the timid Asari. "You sure you can handle it, blue?"
Liara furrowed her brow and glared back. "Positively."
"Your funeral," the waiter said before trouncing off. As soon as his back was turned, Ashley pulled out a plain looking bottle from one of her pockets.
"Here, hold your hand out," she ordered. Liara did so immediately, receiving two small green pills. "There you go, that should be enough to kick you into the feeder mindset. So to say."
Liara, without a second's hesitation, swallowed them down and pulled a face. "Blecch, what a revolting taste..."
"You'll probably be feeling the effects of those for the next week or so," Ashley reasoned. "Just a fair warning, they can be rather potent...so I'm told."
"I just hope it will get her to notice me," Liara said sadly, her heart aching all over again.
"Best way I can think of...oh here it is!"
"Here's your food, ladies," the waiter said. "Good luck blue, you're gonna need it." Liara glared after the waiter, only for her face to fall when she spotted the burger itself. Liara was slightly familiar with Earthen cuisine and wouldn't know the proper size of a dish like this, admittedly. But even she knew this was way larger then it needed to be!
"By the Goddess!" she exclaimed, picking up the unholy hunk of hamburger in both hands, the sauces and toppings dripping from the sides. "It's larger then my head, how am I supposed to eat this?"
Ashley idly started counting off on her fingers, picking up her own burger with the other hand. "Three...two...one..."
"Ugh!" Liara groaned, scrunching up. "My stomach!"
"Don't panic," Ashley assured her. "The initial hit is the worst."
"I...I think I've been poisoned!" Liara stammered, tears coming to her eyes from the immense pain. Glancing up at the giant burger in her hands, all thoughts of poisoning or something going wrong fled from her mind at the sight of that absolutely succulent meal in front of her. The tenderly cooked meat, the delectable combination of sauces and seasonings, all perfectly topped off with the finest ingredients you could find. She wasn't poisoned, she realized. She was hungry. Extremely hungry.
"Bon Appétit," Ashley said, not that Liara heard as she chose that moment to dive face first into the burger and start scarfing it down. The intense hunger of the pills turned her into an eating machine, tearing into the burger like a ravenous beast without caring about manners or who was looking. Not that they mattered anyway, Liara thought. Only one thing mattered right now. She was hungry, and she wanted to eat eat eat!
Before she knew it though, her hands were empty. She had devoured the burger in its entirety, its only remnants being the stains of sauce smeared across her hands and face. Glancing down, she saw sauce dribbling down her front as well as her distended stomach pressing against her once pristine outfit. Ashley grinned, still only halfway through her burger that Liara was eying suspiciously. Liara almost wanted to snatch it out of her hands before the waiter returned with another one of the Tri-Burgers.
"Wha?" she said, confusion temporarily winning out over hunger. "You ordered another one for me?"
"No...you did," Ashley said. "You screamed for another one when you were annihilating the first one."
"I don't even remember...ooh..." Liara groaned as her stomach pulsed, demanding more sustenance despite the burger already in her. Giving in to her ravenous instinct, Liara picked up the new Tri-Burger and started again, tearing into the delectable meal with renewed vigor. At some point a breeze told her that her overstuffed belly had split a seam on her dress, and before she knew it, even that burger was gone, and she started licking sauce from her fingers.
"So good..." Liara said wavering on the spot. "So...sleepy..." Her thoughts fogged over from that point on, overwhelmed by the sheer bliss of an overstuffed belly.

As the Normandy left the space dock the following day, the lurch of the vessel taking off roused Liara from her sleep.
"Ugh..." she groaned. "What a night..." As she got to her feet, feeling that she had been dressed in her usual tank top and shorts sleepwear, the events of the previous day came flooding back to her. The appetite enhancer, of course! But had it worked? She remembered that she was able to eat those massive burgers, but they were supposed to tank her metabolism as well. How effective was that?
Luckily her quarters had a bathroom with a decent sized mirror in it, so she made her way over. Not daring to look down at herself, fearing that it hadn't worked, Liara felt a little slower then normal. Was it her imagination, or her still being tired from waking up? Positioning herself in front of her mirror with her eyes closed, she braced herself for what she was going to see, and opened them. She gave a small start when she didn't recognize the Asari with the rounded face staring back, but the truth hit her right afterwards.
"By the Goddess!" she cried. "I'm fat!"
Her hands flew to her belly in amazement. When she last saw her belly it had burst through the front of her dress, but instead of subsiding the bulge had spread around, leaving behind a healthy potbelly with love handles. Giving it a few healthy jiggles, Liara ran her hands across more of her body, feeling the substantial layer of pudge that covered her arms and legs. Especially her legs, Liara realized, with brand new thunder thighs and a monstrous rump that was straining the seams of her shorts.
"I cannot believe it worked!" Liara said aloud, flexing her arms and giggling as the fat hung off of them. At that moment, her stomach grumbled, demanding to be filled, but the flabby Asari had other things on her mind. She was a big girl now, and Shepard was sure to love the new her! Heading to get dressed in something that would hopefully fit her, Liara planned on what she would do when meeting Shepard that morning.
