“Aliens? Really?” Cheryl shifted from worry to frustration and boredom, assuming this was nonsense. “You do realize they ain’t real, right?”
“Well yeah, obviously.” Letting out a sigh, the tubby Kitchen Boss pulled out her phone, before pulling up a picture of a huge new fast food place, in the shape of a saucer. “But tell that to the new competition on the block. She’s using a new theme and preying upon the public’s fascination with the unknown, and now it’s directly harming our business!”
“Oh, I think I’ve seen this place before!” Recognizing the place in the photo, Cheryl pulled out a picture of a similar looking restaraunt out from her wallet to show back. “Reminds me of a fast food place my brother used to work at in Grapewood, before we moved here. I’m guessing they’re finally branching out?”
“Oh, I see how it is…” Gloria grumbled, holding up the photo as she glared at it. “One town wasn’t enough for you, and now you think you can be the next McDonalds…”
“Well regardless, what problems exactly are they serving to you, Ms. Vandergast?”
“Look out there, Cheryl… and you’ll see.”
Taking the cue, Cheryl peeked out the window, to see ads plastered over every wall, advertising Andromeda Bites. There were ads on buildings, on signs, and even in the sky thanks to a amateur sky writer. On a closer inspection however, Cheryl noticed one very important detail.
These plastered ads were covering over other ads, not just of Gloria’s various establishments, but of every place in town.
“Oh… that’s a lot of-“
“Yeah, a lot of ad space, and it sure is working! People all across town are flocking to it, and I have no way to get it to stop! The reason I asked you what you knew is cause I wanna put a stop to this, by ridiculing their theme as greatly as possible!”
“Ah… well I’m not really knowledgeable about the subject,” Cheryl said, only to quickly shift subjects as Gloria’s glare shifted to her. “-But I can call my brother! I’m sure he can help figure something out for you!”
“I see…” Continuing to look out the window, Gloria slammed her fist down on the table in front of her, to make what she said next sound urgent. “Then call him at once! I wish to know everything about this new place, before it drowns out everything in this city!”

Meanwhile, in another part of the city…
“Mmph, this certainly is a good place! But I feel so guilty…”
“Don’t worry, it’s just… sampling the new food in town. It’s not like your actively going against your boss, right?”
“I guess, but still…”
Sitting down at a table within Andromeda Bites, Nicole Harker stared down at the Black Hole Burger, a triple quarter pounder cheeseburger filled with the works and served with garlic bread for buns, with worry. Seated across from her was the owner of this branch, a statuesque woman of 6’4” named Ramona.
Ramona Harker, that is, as the reason Nicole was there was because her sister was the one who owned this branch of the store. Before she had become partners with Gloria, Nicole was a member of the Harker Family, a dynasty of Kitchen Bosses who had owned Andromeda Bites for generations since it’s founding in 1948. As the older sister by two years, she was meant to inherit the soon to be chain, however due to her friendship with Gloria she gave it all up, to put her trust behind her partner in business.
Because of that, now Ramona was the one running the place, and having moved north from Grapewood to settle this new store personally, Ramona had arranged this meeting as a way of saying hello to her sister. And not only did she put out all the works by serving her sister what she thought was the best item on the menu, but she also got the best seat in the house, right under a big chandelier in the shape of a Galaxy.
“You’re enjoying the meal, right?” Ramona asked carefully.
“Yeah… it tastes just like home.”
“You certainly must miss home, right?” With a smug smile, Ramona snapped her fingers as a waiter brought over a sweet chocolate milkshake for her to drink. “Mother certainly does miss you, you know…”
“I’m not betraying Gloria, if that is what your trying to get me to do.” Nicole stated bluntly, finishing off the burger as she let out a big belch, before grabbing a second milkshake from the waiter that her sister had prepared especially for her. “Not for anything in the world.”
“Heavens no!” Ramona replied, feigning innocence. “I know how much that woman means to you, you know. I couldn’t dare to dream of taking her away from you… no, I just want you to come back with me to Grapewood for a few days. Come and visit Mom, after all, we’ve all missed you for the past few years…”
“To be honest, I wish I could visit them too… but I’m way too busy with work. Being the second in command of a whole organization is tough work, and I rarely have any time for myself…”
“By the sounds of it, if your so busy so often you should have so many vacation days built up.” Drinking her milkshake but by bit, Ramona continued to smirk at Nicole as she continued to talk. “Surely she won’t mind if you use them, right? Don’t you deserve a vacation?”
“But what about her new place?” Nicole nervously said, downing her milkshake in one gulp before lying back in her chair to let her stuffed gut stick out and rest. “Gloria’s got a whole new steakhouse, and we gotta hire some new chefs for it soon…”
“C’mon, it’s just a few days. Not like it’s going to be a month. Live a little, sis.”
“…Fine, you win. I’ll visit home. But only if your driving, my car’s in the shop.”
With a big grin on her face, Ramona stood up from the chair, revealing her body in all it’s glory. Having exercised heavily from a young age, Ramona always managed to have somewhat of a muscular figure, something which managed to make her feel even bigger thanks to her height. On top of this, since she wasn’t a chef herself she always grew out her hair, letting her naturally brown hair reach down to her knees in a straight line.
Of course, in spite of all this, some parts of her body certainly were rounded, especially more recently now that she was surrounded by food from all over the city. While her breasts were still a bit small, her hips and ass certainly jutted out a bit, holding onto them the signature Harker plumpness that all of the woman had. Accompanying this was a small potbelly, which was currently full of soft milkshake, as well as a earlier burger and fries from before she met with her sister.
Or at least, her belly would be showing if she didn’t hide it with a girdle. She wasn’t fooling her sister considering her somewhat widened hips, but still so long as she hid her pudge from the public and everyone only saw her figure as strong and capable, that’s all that mattered. After all, she had a image to upkeep.
“Of course I can provide a ride for you, my dearest sister.” Now that Ramona was holding a hand out for Nicole, the older woman hesitated at first, only to grab it so that she didn’t draw any attention as the younger sister continued on. “I’m sure the next few days are going to be certainly… elegant.”
“Whatever, at the very least it’ll be refreshing to not be the biggest woman in a building.” Remembering how her mother was constantly surrounded by taste testers who constantly ate so that she could perfect the recipes that were used at this very store, Nicole sighed in relief as she poked onto her hips to point them out to her sister. “I swear, living with Gloria has made these bad girls swell out every single day. One day they’re gonna get me stuck in something…”
“Well it certainly won’t be today.” As she started to walk out from Andromeda Bites, Ramona opened a car door for her sister, before hopping into the front wheel of her fancy Lamborghini. “Now, why don’t you call your boss, let her know your taking a few days off to visit family?”
