As the last of the Pizza was finished, Tara craned her neck around and focused her gaze on the bag of candy in the corner. Both girls were pretty slim, and the Pizza, though not an excessive amount, had left their stomachs bulging slightly, and yet, Allyson felt like she could have eaten more...
Tara hoisted herself out of her seat and began to walk to the sack, retrieving it with a grunt as she slung it over her shoulder and deposited it in front of the couch. "Feel like I need something sweet after all that cheese," she said.
Allyson couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Yeah me too," she said, reaching for a handful of gummies. She stopped herself as her hand closed around the candy, her mind flashing back to just how much of this stuff she had consumed over the past week. It really was quite an excessive amount at this point. She looked over at Tara, who was already biting down on a huge gummy worm. "You don't think maybe we're eating too much of this stuff?"
Tara, cheeks bulging, blushed a little. "Ermm...maybe..." she said between mouthfuls. "I guess it can't be that healthy but...it's only been a week. We'll be sick of it soon."
Allyson smiled. "I guess that's true," she said. She couldn't see herself still finding this stuff amazing after a few weeks. She raised her hand to her mouth and tossed back the gummies, chewing intently as she returned her attention to the horror movie. As the figures on screen screamed and ran down corridors, her hand went back to the sack almost automatically, extending, grabbing candy, putting that candy in her mouth, then going back for more.
Tara did the same, her eyes focused on the TV, but her free hand ferreting more treats into her mouth. The girls were unknowingly ingesting more candy than they had the entire week, chewing and chewing as the sack gradually emptied...

For the first time, Allyson reached for some candy and found her hand hitting an empty space. Her attention finally back on what she was doing with her hands, she turned and looked at the sack in surprise...half of it was gone, and she couldn't reach what was at the bottom now from where she sat. Had they really eaten that much between them?
Tara was in a similar predicament, but unlike Allyson, she had chosen to get up and reach down for more. Loading her arms up, she returned to her seat, barely acknowledging Allyson's look of realisation before she returned to chewing. Allyson looked from Tara down to her stomach, which seemed a little rounder than it had been after the Pizza...
I should stop. That was way too much sugar for one night...
Allyson looked at the sack again, and noticed one of those delicious caramel chocolate bars lying on top. Maybe one more...
---
One more turned into a lot more, as Allyson had found herself going back for more almost immediately after the chocolate bar. Tara upended the sack onto the floor at one point, allowing both girls to scoop up whatever they wanted. The candy dwindled as the film went on, and within the next two hours, it was completely gone.
"Did we...did we finish all of that?" Tara suddenly asked, a look of shock on her face.
Allyson ran a hand over her now rather bloated stomach and nodded. "Ermm...yeah...I think we did..."
The girls both looked rather embarrassed about how much they had put away, and when Allyson looked across at her companion, she could see Tara's stomach had bloated out as well, a combination of pizza and candy and soda, all churning away, visible in the gap between her top and her shorts.
"Well, I should probably be going," Allyson said. The combination of candy and pizza had left her feeling pretty groggy, and it was getting late.
"Oh, sure," Tara said, rising from her chair with a grunt. "It was really cool hanging out...even if we did spend most of it eating."
Allyson laughed, realising they hadn't really even spoken once they started on the candy. "Yeah, we'll have to do it again some time," she rose from her chair, her tummy bloating out slightly now she was standing.
Crossing the room, she grabbed her stuff and headed out, saying her goodbyes to Tara as she tiredly made her way home, gently rubbing her stomach absent mindedly...she really needed to cut down on the candy this week.
