W: (it was 30 minutes before departure)

L: Blubby, Sni-tii, Cirrus, Lenn, Bambi, and Bambi's mom are all eager to finally get going on the cruise, waiting to be allowed onboard.

W: (i pull up on a bicycle) stupid music store clerk made me late! that trogladite couldn't tell apart an oboe from an elbow. heh, band humor. (sees them) oh hi there guys!

L: Bambi: "Hi, Will! I'm so excited for the cruise!"

Lenn: "Ah, there you are! I was kind of starting to wonder if you were coming!"

Cirrus: "Well, he was involved with making the thing, of course he'd be here for its maiden voyage."

W: (i was dressed in a nautical captain's outfit)

L: Sni-tii: "You look pretty good in that!"

Blubby: "Oh, totally! I've never actually seen someone wearing a captain's outfit before!"

W: thanks. (punches thier tickets) how have my gifts been treating y'all?

L: Lenn: "Blubby and I went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench yesterday. Wasn't much to see down there, but it was still pretty cool."

Sni-tii: "There's more of a demand for snake milk than I expected, been making myself a good profit."

Cirrus: "I like playing games in weird places on my laptop, I was on top of Mount Everest the other day. Thinking about starting a Let's Play channel on Youtube, but I'm not sure yet."

Bambi's mom: "We've used some of our money on helping protect the environment, but we still have plenty left."

W: that's good. (Faline shows up with a first-class ticket too)

L: Bambi: "Oh, hi, Faline! You got a ticket, too?"

Bambi's mom: "It's good to see you're coming with us, Faline. I'm sure it'll be nice for you and Bambi to have each other's company for the trip."

W: i certainly wouldn't mind giving her special permission to access the bridge as well. (a bunch of nautical inspectors enter behind us)

L: Bambi watches the inspectors. "Oh, what are those guys here for?"

W: they'll inspect the ship as we go. (minutes before departure, i head up a pole) ahoy there. welcome aboard! (welcomes in Spanish, german and russian) i'm captain William, and yes, i'm a bit young but don't let that stop me. i couldn't be happier to have all of you here on Titanic 2.0's maiden voyage!

L: There's applause from the passengers capable of clapping, and happy stamping from the ones who aren't. Sni-tii can't really do either, and just smiles.

W: (on departure, the foghorn blares as we set off)

L: Everyone watches off the side of the ship as it departs, the port slowly growing more distant.

W: (a servant shows the 7 friends to thier rooms)

L: Everybody gets their luggage put away, and most of them start to explore the ship. Bambi heads up to the bridge, wanting to look around inside.

W: (i was in the captain's chair, operating the throttles and the wheel) oh hey buddy. welcome to the bridge of the ship

L: Bambi happily trots in and looks around, not touching anything as he's well aware he shouldn't. His questions keep coming for some time, the deer being curious about the majority of the devices and indicators in the room.

W: you probably saw the spinning piece on the roof, that's the radar. comes in handy when visibility is low.

L: "Okay, thanks! Got distracted and forgot to ask about that as well!"

W: it's cool. young whippersnappers are very curious individuals, and clearly, you aren't an exeption.

L: Bambi smiles, continuing to look around, eventually settling on sitting next to you and watching you work.

W: you know how the original Titanic was powered, right? (he does, Cirrus told him)

L: "Yep, Cirrus told me! It used steam engines, and those were fueled by coal!"

W: this modern replica uses modern watercraft diesel engines, 2-stroke, turbocharged, top-notch generators, the works

L: "That sounds pretty good, I don't really know a whole lot about engines though. You're the captain, so I guess you would know."

W: i sure do. (looks at the sunset) it's getting late, you should head back to your room

L: "Ah, yeah. See you tomorrow, Will!" Bambi gets up and leaves the bridge, heading back to his room for the night.

L: Late into the night, Bambi jolts awake from a particularly terrible nightmare. Shivering and panting, he slowly calms down, knowing he's safe despite the fairly unfamiliar area. He eventually relaxes, and after some time he falls asleep again.

W: (the nightmare repeats itself again and again)

L: After his third time being awoken by fear, Bambi starts to cry, worrying that this is just something he's stuck with now. He doesn't try to get back to sleep this time, just waiting for the day to start and hoping the next night will be better.

W: Faline: you ok? i heard you scream so i came right away

L: "J-just had a nightmare, i-it's fine..." Bambi sighs, feeling bad about having worried Faline.

W: Faline: (feels bad for her poor crush, wanting to cheer him up) you know, the buffet is open for breakfast. and afterwards we could have some drowning fun in the private aquaphillia tanks. what do you say?

L: "O-oh, I thought it was still too early... Sure. It'll help to get my mind off that, hopefully..." Bambi gets out of bed and goes to the buffet with Faline.

W: (we go there. the sun had just begun to rise) Faline: i guess you noticed the sympathy in my voice, i genuinely feel terrible for you. (her love and caringness for him now clearly showing)

L: "Thanks for that... Didn't get much sleep last night, I kept having the same nightmare over and over. I don't really want to talk about what was in it..."

W: Faline: was it about the ship sinking and you drowning in the freezing water?

L: Bambi stops for a moment, clearly getting a bit more nervous from Faline saying that. "...Y-yeah, that's what it was... W-Will keeps telling me it's safe, but... I don't know..."

W: Faline: i understand. just try and drown your sorrows for now, i'll try and keep up for you

L: Bambi nods, getting some food from the buffet and sitting down to eat. With his nightmare still on his mind, he's having some trouble keeping calm, even now.

W: (Faline, as per her words, does her best to keep up. but after a while, she's struggling. Bambi, meanwhile, was still going strong)

L: Bambi just keeps on eating, hardly even noticing he's overeating. His belly eventually starts to bulge out with all the food now in it.

W: Faline: whew, you must have a one-track mind. *urp* oh, scuse me. (blushes)

L: "What?" Bambi says with a mouthful of food, and his eyes go wide when he looks down at his bloated belly. He swallows what's in his mouth, and looks at all the plates he'd emptied without thinking. "I... Didn't realize I was eating so much..." He burps a little as well.

W: Faline: (giggles) you look adorable when you get a belly like that.

L: "I don't know how I managed to eat so much, this really can't be good for me... But I'm glad you like the way it looks." Bambi nervously smiles at Faline.

W: Faline: actually, i was researching your spices and discovered you have very high resistance to negative health effects weight gain causes.

L: "Oh, really? I really need to learn more about what I am, I keep forgetting to do that... Still full for now, but at least this won't really be hurting me."

W: Faline: and during a blood swap accident, i picked up your special traits.

L: "I didn't know that was how that worked, that's cool! Probably could have happened in a better way, but still."

W: Faline: oh well. you wanna continue or head to the private drowning tanks

L: "Yeah, let's go check out those tanks, I haven't even seen them yet!" Not really knowing where to go to find the drowning tanks, Bambi follows Faline there.

W: (the tanks look identical to the ones used in the game show Flood or Fact)

L: "Hey, I think these are the ones they use on Flood or Fact! Have you seen the episode I was on? I did really good on it!"

W: Faline: i did. and William said these are the real deal. i guess the factory he trusted to make them overproduced. (she opens one and gets in) if we stay on our hind legs and lean on eachother, both of us should fit

L: Bambi awkwardly stands on his back legs and does a couple hops to get in, shutting it behind him. "Man, these were NOT made for two people... Alright, how do we turn it on?"

W: Faline: maybe that button does something. (gestures her head to it)

L: With a bit of effort, Bambi presses the button, and the tank starts quickly filling with water. "Oh, here we go! Didn't know how fast these can fill, we'll be under in no time!"

W: Faline: (begins making out with Bambi as the water rises around them)

L: Bambi blushes, but quickly gets into it, closing his eyes. Just before the water is too high for him to be able to breathe, he inhales through his nostrils and holds his breath.

W: (Faline does the same)

L: Bambi smiles at Faline with puffed cheeks, and looks up to watch the tank fill the rest of the way before looking back at her, letting a few little bubbles loose.

W: (The ship suddenly jolts. Seconds later, i speak on the PA) good morning passengers, this is your captain speaking. I apologize for the sudden jolt, we hit an iceberg Dead on. But don't worry, we have sustained minimal damage and are able to continue as normal.

L: Bambi's eyes go wide at this, and he nervously looks at Faline, hoping that you were telling the truth and things really are fine.

W: (She gives him a reasurring smile before resuming making out)

L: Trying to put his fear to the back of his mind, Bambi closes his eyes and hugs Faline as he kisses her.

W: (They eventually hit thier limits)

L: With a blue blush over most of his face, Bambi finally exhales what air he has left and gasps water, choking and struggling but trying his best to not hurt Faline.

W: (Faline does the same, but judging by the way she is able to manipulate her breathing, she's enjoying it)

L: Bambi tries to copy her, though he's enjoying breathing water regardless. He manages to keep himself from coughing for a few seconds, looking at Faline drowning with him.

W: ( after fully drowning, Faline still has most of her strength and keeps making out with Bambi)

L: Bambi has very much been weakened by his lack of oxygen, but stays awake for now, happily kissing Faline as he continues slowly breathing water.

W: (When she feels you go fully limp, she lets Bambi go and lays at the bottom, face-to-face)

L: The drowned deer blearily looks at Faline, smiling at her. She can feel the slight current from his weak breaths of water, before his eyes shut and he passes out.

W: (Faline hugs him as she too passes out)

L: Once both of them are unconscious, the tank automatically drains, its door unlocking once the water is completely gone.

W: (Faline eventually regains consciousness, coughing up the water she inhaled)

L: Bambi wakes up as well, hacking and spitting up water. He stays laying down for now, not quite able to focus enough to stand yet.

W: Faline: feel better?

L: After a couple more coughs, Bambi nods and smiles. "W-who would've thought drowning could end up so calming..."

W: Faline: (looks at the time) oh, its almost noon

L: "Is something happening at noon? I'll be honest, I don't really remember." Bambi finally gets up, stepping out of the tank.

W: Faline: i dont know about you, but i have a hankering for some lunch.

L: "I'm still pretty much good from earlier... I guess I'll at least come by, though."

W: Faline: fine by me. (the recurring nightmare that plagued Bambi the night before strikes again)

L: Bambi pauses for a moment, shivering a little as he thinks of the nightmare again. "...M-maybe I could do with eating some more, y-yeah..." He follows Faline to get lunch.

W: Faline: you weren't even asleep that time. maybe after lunch you could voice your concerns to the captain. i'm sure he'd help. (she then drops the proverbial bomb) I love you and I care about you

L: Bambi nervously smiles and blushes. "...I-I love you too... A-and, yeah, after this I'll ask him... Not sure how he'll be able to help, though..."

W: Faline: just by talking to him, it should help. (we head back, Bambi's mom was there as well as a small-ish yellow 2-tailed fox)

L: "Hi mom! And, um... Hi, fox guy! What's your name?"

W: Tails: my name is Miles Prower, but you can call me Tails.

Mom: what seems to be the trouble? i heard a scream early this morning but i couldn't find you. (she sound curious but also concerned)

L: "I had a really bad nightmare... I'm sorry, I should've told you. It's been messing with me all day, too, I almost can't stop thinking about it..."

W: Mom: oh my. well, has Faline been trying to help where she can?

L: "Yeah, she helped get my mind off it earlier, but then it just came back... I'm gonna have a talk with Will after lunch, she said that might help."

W: Tails: it does help to voice your concerns. just by talking to others can help. (Bambi proceeds to stuff his face)

L: Bambi doesn't answer, already starting to eat again. Just like before, he's clearly eating quite an excessive amount, and with his belly still being a little bloated from earlier, it slowly gets even bigger.

W: Mom: that's my eating machine. (pets Bambi as he eats)

L: Bambi smiles, and keeps eating for a little longer. By the time he's finally done, his belly is big enough that it almost reaches to floor while he's standing. "...O-oh, I kind of overate again..." He blushes.

W: Mom: don't worry about it. i hope Faline told you about our resistance

L: "She did! I really wonder what other sort of stuff we're capable of..." Bambi sits down and smooshes his belly around some, making him burp a couple times, which he excuses himself for.

W: Tails: need some help walking to the bridge?

L: "I think I'll be fine..." Bambi gets up and tries walking. It's a bit awkward as his belly sways back and forth, but he manages it, and makes his way up to the bridge.

W: (I was in the crew lounge, taking a break) hey bambi, looks like you had quite the food binge

L: He blushes a bit. "Y-yeah, um... I-I had a really bad nightmare last night, a-and eating a lot kind of helps..."

W: Nightmares, huh? (Pulls out mynotebook) go on

L: Bambi sits down, getting nervous again from think about his nightmare. "I-it was that the ship sank, a-and I only barely managed to get out... I-I couldn't find anyone, or any life rafts, or anything, I-I was alone... A-and I ended up drowning, and I knew no one was going to find me..." Bambi is visibly shaking a little.

W: (I write the description of your nightmare word for word) i see. What details do you remember?

L: "I-I don't remember much else... J-just getting separated from mom and Faline..."

W: I meant the smaller details, like how the water felt or voices you might have heard in the nightmare

L: "U-um... I-it was cold... I could hear people yelling while I was still on th-the ship... E-even you were panicking, when I saw you..."

W: (Writing in my notebook) thats all i need to know. (Unclicks my pen)

L: "F-Faline said talking to you about it might help, b-but I don't feel any better..."

W: Well, I suggest keep doing what you were doing to help keep your crippling anxiety under control

L: "...J-just... Keep eating a lot? It feels kind of weird to do that, though..." Bambi looks a bit confused at you.

W: I know, but i dont have any psychiatrists on board

L: "...I guess I'll just try eating again if it gets bad again... Thanks." Bambi gets up to leave.

W: (Later that day, denmark is in view)

L: Bambi, Blubby, Sni-tii and Lenn are on the deck, watching the land slowly approaching. Cirrus is still relaxing somewhere below deck.

W: (I get on the PA) good afternoon passengers this is your captain speaking. We are now approaching our first destination, Denmark

L: Bambi has, of course, done research on all the places the trip will visit. "Did you guys know Denmark has a king?"

Cirrus looks out a window and smiles. "Been a while since I've been here... Wonder how things have changed?", he says to himself, starting to make his way up to the deck.

W: (when in the port, the ship's foghorn blows long) Mom: just, uh, smile and wave everybody, smile and wave

L: Everyone waves at the people watching.

Cirrus: "A lot of people here speak German, and so do I. I can translate for you guys if you need me to."

W: Bambi: mom is fluent in danish, i should be ok

L: Cirrus: "Ah, between me and her, we've got nothing to worry about!"

W: (a fleet of buses were waiting at the port)

L: Everyone gets onto the buses, including Cirrus despite him being able to fly.

W: (the buses take them to Billund and drop them off at the LEGO factory)

L: Bambi gets excited. "Oh wow, I didn't know we'd be visiting this!"

W: (a man walks up) hello visitors, i'm Henry and i'll be your guide today

L: Everyone is happily looking around, interested to find out what they're going to be shown on the tour.

W: (after the tour, Henry lets everyone shop in the factory store)

L: Bambi, his mom, Faline, and Cirrus get themselves some souvenirs.

W: Bambi: this Titanic set is gonna take me me ages to build alone.

L: Faline: "I could help you with it, that'll be fun!"

W: Bambi: really? that'd be great! (that evening, while Bambi was about to fall asleep, he had an idea to try and be drowned for the night in an attempt to avoid his recurring nightmare)

L: "What if..." Bambi climbs out of bed and heads for the drowning tanks. Whenever he'd drowned in the past, he never remembered anything between passing out and waking up, and since it was safe for him, this seemed to be worth a shot.

W: (a gaurd was patrolling and sees him) pardon me, what are you doing out here so late? (he looks intimidating but sounds kind and gentle)

L: While Bambi is a bit nervous, he hopes they'll understand. "I-I keep having really bad nightmares, s-so I want to try spending the night in one of the drowning tanks instead of sleeping. I-I'll be fine, drowning can't hurt me."

W: Gaurd: i see. well the water used for the tanks and pool use the same oxygenation technology as the Flood or Fact game show, not my words, the captain's words

L: "Oh, I didn't know the pool had that, but it makes sense. Is there somewhere I could go where I don't have to worry about someone seeing me and getting worried?"

W: Gaurd: the drowning tanks have a privacy gate. and set the time for it to open at 8 in the morning if you plan on waking up with the majority of first-class passengers

L: "Okay, that'll work, thanks. Hopefully I'm not gonna end up having that nightmare again while I'm out..." Bambi starts continuing on his way to the tanks.

W: Gaurd: have a good night, little one.

L: "You too." Bambi gets to a drowning tank, shutting its privacy gate and climbing in. After setting the tank to open at 8 AM, he takes a deep breath to calm himself down, and starts having the tank fill.

W: (The tank uses nicely hot, steaming water and rises slowly)

L: Bambi is surprised at first, but happily sighs and relaxes before long. "They sure know how to make this comfortable...~" He holds his breath and lays down to submerge early, planning on going up to catch his breath just before the tank will be full.

W: (The tank stopped filling when you went under)

L: Hearing the water stop flowing, Bambi gets a little confused, but accepts it. He thinks to himself, "May as well see if I can keep myself down while I'm drowning..." He starts bubbling out his air.

W: (He hears a sneeze from Tails)

L: Bambi stops bubbling and raises his head from the water. "Tails? Is that you? How come you're in here so late?"

W: Tails: can I tell you a secret?

L: "...Yeah, sure! I promise I won't tell anyone."

W: Tails: i have a quicksand fetish. (as Tails explains, Bambi's tank fills at inches per minute)

L: "I really like quicksand too, actually! Maybe we could both sink together sometime?"

W: Tails: you would?!

L: "Yeah! I actually did some sinking with a friend a couple days before this trip started!"

W: Tails: no way! you should try tar someday it's so thick it'd be like it's hugging you all over. although you better be prepared for heatstroke as it's quite hot. how do i know? i speak from experience

L: "I've never tried tar before, there isn't any around where I live... If I ever get the chance, I'll give it a shot!"

W: Tails: now, you're probably still wondering what I'm doing here in these drowning tanks. Well, water is the next best thing I have to quicksand that I can sink and drown in. I hope you understand

L: "Makes sense. Maybe Will should've looked into having a quicksand pool on here somewhere, but I do prefer water, myself."

W: Tails: well, I'm sure there's some desert quicksand outside of Vegas. I can always look out there. (Bambi's mouth is underwater at that point. And Tails can understand bubble talk)

L: "Leblt mble knblow iblf yoblu fiblnd anbly! Ibl gubless webl'll tabllk toblmorblrow, I'lbl bble spblendbling thble niblght ibln hblere." Bambi almost starts bubbling again, but waits to see if Tails says anything he should respond to.

W: Tails: (giggles) good night Bambi

L: "Goblod niblght!" Bambi lays down on the bottom of the tank and starts bubbling out his air again.

W: (Tails starts bubbly singing a lullaby)

L: Bambi smiles as his bubbles trail off, and after a moment of psyching himself up, purposely inhales the warm water, choking and gurgling.

W: Tails: (bubbly giggle)

L: Forcing himself to stay on the bottom, Bambi gags as he continues drowning, starting to feel weak like he always did after some water breathing.

W: (Tails willingly drowns too. You can hear his gurgling and choking and cant help but say out loud how much willpower he has)

L: Bambi focuses, and with the last of his energy, manages to talk with the water in his lungs. "...Nnnice...*hic*...Ss-strronng wwill..." He sounds quite a bit different like this, but he's too drowned to really think about that, and finally passes out.

W: Tails: (smiles before passing out at the same time as Bambi, falling limp and sinking and collapsing to the bottom of the tank)

L: While he's unconscious, Bambi doesn't have any dreams or nightmares, his drowned body simply resting in the tank for a few hours.

W: (But then, it happened. The nightmare played on repeat, you couldnt wake up until the clock struck 8AM

L: Once the tank finally empties out at 8AM, Bambi comes back to awareness, coughing up the water and shivering in fear. "N-no... Why is this happening..." He starts crying again.

W: Tails: *cough, cough. GASP!* Bambi! (Rushes to the crying fawn)

L: Bambi looks up at Tails, still laying on the floor. "I-it happened again... Th-the nightmare keeps coming back..."

W: Tails: your brain must be messing with you. (Helps the poor fawn to the buffet)

L: Bambi is noticeably thicker than yesterday, having gained weight from all his prior stress eating. Once he's at the buffet, he goes for another round of said eating, once again slowly bloating out his belly.

W: (Tails rubs it as Bambi eats with Mom gently encouraging him)

L: Again, Bambi's stomach nearly reaches the floor before he stops eating. "Th-there has to be something I can do... I can't just live with this nightmare..."

W: Mom: im afraid there isnt much alternatives, just drown your sorrows and stuff your face silly

L: Bambi sighs and gets up, wandering off in the hope of finding something else to occupy him, since he doesn't feel comfortable stuffing himself even more right now.

W: (The vision hits and plays out. Just like that, your fullness was gone)

L: Stopping in his tracks, Bambi shudders before returning to the buffet for even more food. He doesn't hold back this time, and his belly is eventually big enough that it's firmly pressing against the floor.

W: Mom: good boy. (A few days later, we arrive in the port of Tokyo, Japan)
Me: *through PA* I apologize for the unexpected twist, but the Italians didn't want a colossal ship in one of their ports, so instead we're visiting Tokyo

L: Bambi hardly cares, miserable from putting up with the recurring nightmare. He's gotten rather fat at this point from all the stress eating he's done.

Most of the passengers are fine with the change of plans, though Cirrus is a bit disappointed. "Man, I was there a couple weeks ago..."

W: (Faline was comforting the poor fawn, and her counselling personality along with her sweet words persuaded Bambi to join her in looking around Tokyo)

L: "They have some cool stuff here... Maybe something can help..." Bambi gives a slight smile, finally having just a little hope that he might be able to do something about his nightmare.

W: (Tails suddenly has an idea to help Bambi get rid of his recurring nightmare)

L: "Tails? You look like you just thought of something important."

W: Tails: i have an idea! what if we replicate certain aspects of your nightmare?

Mom: it's risky for his already fragile innocence, but at this point, i'm willing to try anything for my precious chubby fawn. (this statement entices a giggle from both Bambi and Faline, who, to his surprise, is just as fat as him)

L: Bambi quickly gets nervous again. "H-how would that help!? I've been trying to FORGET about that!"

W: Tails: i know it sounds controversial but your mom said she's willing to help you get rid of it by any means needed.

me: Tails never lies about his ideas.

L: Bambi sighs. "...I don't see how it would help, but... I can't just live with this. I don't know how much longer I have until I end up insane from it... So, if you think this'll help, I'll do it."

W: (after hiring a recording studio, each take turns making panicked vocals. Bambi's mom first) Mom: BAMBI, WHERE ARE YOU!? WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!

L: Sni-tii, Cirrus and Lenn all record their lines without issue, though Blubby feels bad about potentially scaring Bambi and may not have done the best job with his.

W: me: lets try Blubby's again. (Bambi's now out of earshot) alright, try again

L: Blubby: "S-sorry about that, um..." He clears his throat and redoes his line, doing a much better job of it this time.

W: (with all vocals recorded and edited into a mixed audio. it was time) Tails:(straps a waterproof speaker to Bambi's neck)
Faline: are you ready, my love?

L: After a moment, Bambi nods. "...I-I still really don't think this'll help... B-but I'll try anything at this point."

W: me: ok. (when Bambi enters the tank) i need to warn you. the water about to enter your tank is going to be in the mid 30s farenheit, so drowning is going to hurt a lot more than usual.

L: "N-never drowned in cold water before... Thanks for letting me know..." Bambi takes deep breaths to try to calm himself down.

W: (the audio plays and the tank fills with near-freezing water at a fast rate, the nightmare vision playing out in sync, but as the water rises, the vision glitches out more)

L: Bambi gets confused as his nightmare plays out quite a bit differently from every other time. This new version is a bit less scary, though actually hearing the screaming is still a little unsettling, and Bambi soon holds his breath as the tank fills to the top.

W: (then, poof! the nightmare vision is gone. Bambi is so relieved he briefly forgets he's still underwater and excitedly exclaims that he's free, the curse is broken)

L: "Ibl-iblt woblrkebld! Ibl'm noblt sebleinblg thble niblghtblmarble anbly moblre!" Bambi gives a bubbly laugh, emptying his lungs before instinctively inhaling, immediately beginning to drown. As Will had warned, this felt quite a bit worse than any other time he'd drowned, and Bambi thrashes as he tries to figure out how to escape.

W: (he soon calms after tensing up for a bit. he is so grateful to Tails for getting rid of the terrorising nightmare)

L: As he loses his energy, Bambi manages to talk a little. "Thh...thhankss...T-Taillss..." He allows himself to pass out, a slight smile still on his face as he knows the nightmare won't be coming back this time.

W: (while passed out, you had a dream you were sick in bed, under your mother's intensive care and undivided attention from Faline. it was a memory you cherish with all your heart)

L: Once Bambi wakes up after the tank is drained, he smiles up at everyone. "I just had the first nice dream since the trip started..." While he starts crying again, this time it's from relief, and his smile doesn't go anywhere.

W: Mom: im so glad. and hey, if you still want to overeat and get more plump, i ain't gonna stop you.

Faline: and if you need a binge buddy, i'm all in, or should i say, i'm all fat. (that comment caused uproarious laughter from me and the friends)

L: "Maybe sometime, I've sort of grown to like doing that... Ha, no pun intended!"

W: Faline: you'll be fine. temperatures in vegas are ideal for morbidly obese folks, so you and i could get all plumped up together. and, you can get undivided attention from me. (this caused the flame in Bambi's heart to roar into life)

L: Bambi blushes. "...Y-yeah, sure! Let's get ourselves huge!" Bambi gets up and starts heading for the buffet with Faline.

W: Mom: don't stay out too late, you 2! (sigh) fawns, they grow up so fast. (under her own breath) i hope i used that phrase correctly

L: Once again, Bambi stuffs himself full, this time to enjoy himself instead of doing it out of stress.

W: Faline: i feel like i had enough but my tummy's still thinking it's hungry. heehee! do you think that was enough, should we keep going?

L: "If we go much farther with this, we're gonna start having trouble getting around today! I think we should stop for now, but when we get back we should fill ourselves to our limits, since the trip's almost over."

W: Faline: fine by me. and there's something i've always wanted to do while this fat. meet me at the pool at midnight tonight, i'll tell you then

L: "Yeah, I'll come by! Maybe I'll end up liking whatever that is, too!"

W: (that night as the clock struck midnight)

L: Bambi comes to the pool, a bit drowsy, and looks around for his friend. "Faline? You there?"

W: Faline: down here. (she was in the empty pool) there's a ladder you can climb down

L: "...Alright." Bambi is a bit confused, but climbs down the ladder to join Faline. "What did you have in mind for tonight?"

W: Faline: i've always wanted to lose my virginity to you

{We skipped over the sex; these characters are physically underaged and only mentally adult, which isn't enough for me}

(next morning, Cirrus sees Bambi and Faline drowned but conscious)

L: Cirrus chuckles, and dives under. "Noblt leblttiblng drblownbling geblt yoblu doblwn, hbluh?" Bambi smiles and slowly shakes his head.

W: Faline: (reaches out to signify she wants out)

L: "Yeblp, Ibl goblt yoblu." Cirrus scoops up both the drowned deer and lifts them out of the pool, setting them on the floor near it.

Bambi clears the water out of his lungs, coming back to full awareness. "Th-thanks for that."

W: Faline: so, what's going on? (they see Hawaii coming up)

Me: (on PA) buenos dias, pasajeros. unfortunately one of the engines has unexpectedly shut down and restarted. we're making a stop at Hawaii for unsheduled maintenance

L: Bambi: "Oh wow, okay! Cool! Have you been there, Cirrus?"

Cirrus: "I've been everywhere, and Hawaii is one of my favorite places. You're gonna like it there, trust me."

W: (i park up and the crew scramble to the engine room)

L: During the maintenance, everyone enjoys relaxing in Hawaii for a while.

W: (at 2:00 PM, i call the passengers in)

L: Everybody comes back on board. Blubby, Sni-tii and Bambi are a bit disappointed they couldn't stay longer.

W: (next day, California was in view)

L: Cirrus: "Everyone, remember not to get caught up in gambling once we reach Vegas. If you really want to try it, set aside a fairly small amount of money for it and use only that."

W: (when boarding the train, Bambi and Faline both get thier butts stuck in the doorways)

L: Bambi blushes and laughs. "Oh jeez, we're too thick! Someone mind pulling us through?" Lenn comes over and pulls both of them fully onto the train.

W: Faline: never thought that would happen

L: Bambi: "Maybe we really HAVE eaten too much... Nah, there just isn't much room here."

W: Faline: HA! you just beat me to the joke

L: "Haha! Hopefully we won't end up damaging the seats with how heavy we are, but I think we'll be fine."

W: Mom: if anything, i'll tell them to put the cost of the chairs on our next bill. William did say "all expenses paid"

L: "He did, I almost forgot!" Bambi sits down on one of the chairs, which doesn't even creak. "Okay, it's not gonna be an issue. Even not having to pay for it, I'd feel bad if I broke something."

W: Faline: it's only natural to think that way. (we arrive at Vegas and to your surprise, your dad was on the platform)

Dad: hey baby

L: "Dad!" Bambi runs up to give him the best hug a quadruped can. "How come you're here?"

W: Dad: i planned on doing a Vegas trip, and when i arrived, i heard you were coming so i decided to wait here. and i gotta say, you got quite plump. (the way he said it showed he was complimenting you)

L: "Yeah, I was having really bad nightmares for a while, and eating a lot helped. But, I'm fine now, and now I just eat like that for fun!"

W: Dad: i don't blame you. (walks with both Bambi and Faline) anything else that happened while you were on the cruise?

L: "We went to Tokyo instead of Venice, and we stopped in Hawaii for a little while too!"

W: Dad: i heard about that. did you lose your V-card? (his discretion was uncalled for given the empty station but appreciated nonetheless)

L: "Oh yeah, somehow forgot to mention that. I did! I'm not really sure who I did it with would appreciate me telling you it was them, though."

W: Faline: it was me. i'll spare the details but we had some hydrophillic fun and Bambi loved it

L: "Figured you'd be okay with me saying, I just wasn't certain. Yeah, we had a great time in the pool that night!"

W: Dad: if i were you, i'd have wanted to wait until after marriage before that. but you're in control of your life, not me.

L: "Glad you're okay with it! I was a little worried what you'd think, to be honest."

W: Dad: and i'd like to see how much food you can cram into you, i'm not a fan of muckbanging, but i'm willing to watch you do it. so go crazy

L: "Well, the trip's all expenses paid, and Faline and I were planning on finding out just how much food we could fit in ourselves in one sitting. I'd be cool with you watching when we do that!"

W: Dad: maybe i could help when your willpower isn't enough

L: "Yeah, that'd be good! Hopefully it's not gonna lead to me popping, but I'm sure I'll know when it starts being too much."

W: Mom: um, you'll never pop. it'll feel like you would, but you won't

L: "So then... The only limit we have is when we just can't force down anything more? Cool!"

W: Mom: hey guys. (talking to Blubby and the gang) last one to the casino is a rotten egg! (runs off at full speed)

L: Everyone starts to race to the casino. Cirrus grins before rocketing ahead, getting there in seconds. In order, the others who finish are Bambi's mom, Blubby, Lenn, and Sni-tii. You, Bambi, his dad, and Faline don't take part, simply walking instead.

W: (it was quite cold outside, ideal for the 2 young, fat deer, and no issue for my thick fur)

L: Lenn, Blubby, and Sni-tii aren't doing quite as well with the cold.

Lenn: "W-we should probably head inside soon..."

W: you guys go ahead, we'll catch up. (i take the 3 deer with me to the Heart Attack Grill. a scale was outside)

L: Everyone else hads into the casino.

Bambi laughs as he sees the scale. "Oh man, I haven't actually weighed myself since I got this fat!"

W: (dad goes first. he weighs 166 lbs. you know he's all muscle)

L: "I bet I'm gonna be heavier than you!" Once his dad gets off the scale, Bambi hops onto it.

W: (164, over double your usual weight)

L: "Ah, so close! Wow, though... I've really packed it on, huh?" Bambi gets off the scale so Faline can use it.

W: (exactly the same) how have your legs not buckled under your immense weight?

L: Bambi: "I'm not really sure... Honestly, I haven't even really felt much of a difference."

W: mister Bambi's dad, does your species have legs bones that are borderline indestructable?

L: "Not just borderline, completely indestructable. I wasn't aware our muscles could keep up with weight like that, though..."

W: wow! (i get on, 187. Bambi is concerned at my weight gain)

L: Bambi: "That's not so healthy for you, is it? Maybe you should be kind of careful..."

W: sorry about that. being captain has been super stressful, and i've been snacking more because of it. i'll be fine, i lose weight extremely fast when doing my favorite kinks

L: "Alright, as long as you don't get TOO big from all that I think it'll be fine. Sometime, do you think you could tell me what stuff you're into? Doesn't have to be now, could just be the two of us."

W: back on the ship, i'll tell all 4 of you. (we head inside and get dressed in hospital gowns with a patient wristband) oh, and the founder, John Basso, is a bit (cuckoo noise), but he isn't trying to fool anybody.

L: "If we have to wear these, he can't really be... "All there", I guess."

W: (meanwhile, at the casino, Bambi's mom was on an unbelievable winning streak, raking in thousands of dollars)

L: Bambi's mom: "This is a lot easier than I thought! I'd always heard casinos were rigged..."

W: Sonic: looks like lady luck is on your side. all the others have insignificant bets won and lost. (she knows Sonic well. in this timeline, Sonic is 18 and Tails is 10)

L: "It's my first time gambling, too! I see how people can get addicted to this, but I don't intend on letting that happen to me."

W: Sonic: same here, and i still have the same money as i started with, despite hours of gambling.

L: "Better to break even than lose, right? At least you can still have some fun with it."

W: Sonic: indeed. How are you 4 doing over there?

L: Blubby: "Think I'm doing alright, never played this before though."

Sni-tii: "Breaking even, so far."

Cirrus: "I'm up by a good amount so far!"

Lenn: "Not going so well, pretty much out."

W: Sonic: so miss Bambi's mom, where's your son?

L: "He's over at the Heart Attack Grill, probably getting even more fat. It's not an issue, obesity doesn't really do much to our family."

W: Sonic: I need that. You know, I think I'll go and say hi to him. Back in a Flash! (ZOOM!)

L: Cirrus: "Hm. Wouldn't mind a race with him sometime..."

Bambi is working on eating an Octuple Bypass when Sonic shows up.

W: Sonic: hey Bambi, hey faline, what's going on Mr Bambi's dad?

L: Bambi: "Hi, um... Oh, you're Sonic! Cool!"

Faline: "Hi, Sonic!"

Bambi's dad: "Good to see you. Mostly just enjoying seeing my boy having fun stuffing his face, but I've had a meal myself."

W: Sonic, this is a pleasant surprise. What brings you here to vegas?

L: Sonic: "I heard that my buddy Tails would be dropping by, and I figured I'd pay him a surprise visit!"

W: Tails: over here Sonic! (he was at another table)

L: Sonic zooms over to Tails' table, sitting across from them. "Hey, Tails! What have you been up to lately?"

W: Tails: well, I helped Bambi with his recurring nightmare curse. If you want to know more, tell him.

L: Sonic: "Poor guy... Glad it worked out in the end. One sec, I'll go ask him." He bolts back over to Bambi's table. "Hey Bambi, Tails tells me you were dealing with a nightmare of some kind for a while. You okay with explaining what it was?"

W: Bambi: (gulp) well, you know about Tails being a passenger on William's Titanic 2, and the fate of the original Titanic, right? (Sonic was able to piece everything together and relays the exact nightmare Bambi had in words)

L: Sonic nods. "Screaming, then not seeing anyone around, and drowning alone... That sounds awful. Glad you at least found a way to keep it from happening any more."

W: Bambi: likewise, i was close to going insane. *BURP* oh! scuse me. (blushes)

L: Sonic: "Ha, no worries! I suppose it's a given that you'd be burping while getting that much food down, huh?"

W: Bambi: yep. (a couple hours pass, Sonic helping stuff his little buddy while Bambi is stuffing himself)

L: Tails has gotten quite the gut from eating so much, but that's nothing compared to Bambi; he's practically resting on top of his, most likely unable to move without help.

W: (Faline was the same) Faline: oh man. i *BURP* cant eat, without help. do you think that was enough, my love? should we *BURP* get help and keep going?

(at the same time, Sonic was asking Tails the same question, but worded differently)

L: Sonic: "Well, think you're finally full, buddy? Gotta say, you've eaten a lot more than I thought you would!"

W: Tails: keep going please?

L: Sonic: "Haha, alright then! I'll go get you some more food, you just wait here."

Bambi to Faline: "I think that's enough for now, we should get someone to... I guess roll us out of here."

W: Dad and me: (carefully roll the 2 fawns out)

me: i'll see you later Sonic. you're free to join Tails for the last leg of the journey of Titanic 2

L: Sonic: "Hey, thanks! I'll come by once he's finally gotten himself completely filled up."

W: (back on the ship, Tails had become a huge food balloon, so big his speech was muffled too much to understand him) hey miss Bambi's mom, i heard you struck it rich

L: Bambi's mom: "Oh wow, Tails... You've sunk into yourself so much I can't even tell what you're saying!"

W: Sonic: he literally got too big for the wheelchair. i should try the food balloon thing when i have extra free time.

Bambi: so, how did you all do?

L: Blubby: "Apparently I wasn't doing all that well after all."

Sni-tii: "Just a bit below where I'd started."

Cirrus: "Ended up back to my starting amount."

Lenn: "I had a pretty good comeback, ended up doubling what I came in with!"

Bambi's mom: "I did great! I won so much!"

W: Bambi: oh mom, im so proud of you! say Faline, care for the big finale of our food binging? (that offer was one she'd be crazy to refuse)

L: Faline: "Of course! Not like it's our money we'll be doing it on, right?"

W: me: well i still have lots of leftovers. all the other passengers and inspectors have left, saying they're getting thier own means home. so it's just you guys, me and the crew. (everyone exept Cirrus decides to stay)

L: Cirrus: "All that's left is just going back to where we started, right? Think I'll just head on my way, then. Thanks for all this, it was more fun than I expected!" Cirrus heads some distance in the air, finally returns to full size, and flies off.

W: TAKE CARE CIRRUS, BYE...!!

L: You can see Cirrus slow down for a moment to wave back at you before continuing on.

Bambi: "So, Faline... Ready to get started?"

W: Faline: i can't wait to be like Tails, bring it on

L: Bambi and Faline are brought back to the buffet one last time, and both eat like it'll be the last food they'll ever get.

W: (i drive the ship down to central america and through the panama canal, arriving back at the port we departed from) we made it. miss Bambi's mom, i'll let you sound the foghorn this time. make it a long sounding

L: Bambi's mom: "I've always wanted to do this!" She happily sounds the foghorn until you tell her to stop.

W: (as we park up, Bambi's parents check on the food balloon fawns while Sonic checks on Tails, who was digesting his food)

L: At the buffet, Bambi and Faline have finally just finished the last of the food, and are almost cartoonishly huge from all of it, while unable to talk.

Bambi's mom: "Oh my... You've both gotten so huge!"

Bambi's dad: "Have to say, I'm impressed you managed to get all of it down"

Meanwhile, Tails has gotten quite a bit smaller, still not able to stand and now rather fat but at least able to talk.

Sonic: "How are you doing, Tails? You ate even more than I would at a chili dog festival!"

W: (a stench of unbelievable gas hits the hedgehog's nose)

L: Sonic pinches his nose. "O-oh boy... U-unless you need help, think I'm gonna clear out for now."

W: Tails: can you help me off the ship? the Tornado is waiting, i'm way too (huge rear gas expulsion) fat and gassy to fly it, you'll have to do it

L: "...One sec." Sonic dashes off, coming back about a second later with his nose taped. "Alright, let's go." He starts pushing Tails along, making sure to do so from the side.

W: (i was now dressed in my casual wear (red T-shirt, black silk pants and LEGO Addidas shoes. yes, they exist))

L: Blubby: "It's sort of lonely here, now that so few people are left..."

Lenn: "I never really paid that much attention to most of the people, but... Yeah, it feels weirdly empty now..."

W: well, the round trip is over. and good thing too. im close to cracking. i think some shopping should help ease my nerves. ooh! that reminds me, i need a new washing machine. any of y'all have suggestions?

L: Bambi tries to say something, but you can't make it out.

Bambi's mom: "He said you should look into getting one of those Rotom models, and I agree. They have a really advanced AI so you can just tell them what to do instead of setting it yourself, though I've heard some of them are a little temperamental."

W: temperamental, huh? how so?

L: Sni-tii: "I had one for a while, but it started to sort of rebel after I gave it a particularly hard job. I'm not about to apologize to a machine, so I ended up returning it."

W: what else should i know? (heading off the ship)

L: Sni-tii: "Not that I can think of. When it was still cooperating it did a pretty great job, so if you've got some way to keep them in check they're a good option."

W: thanks for the tip. Bambi, Faline, would you consider making spheres of yourselves in the future?

L: Bambi: "That'd be awesome! I'd love to be like that!"

Faline: "Me too! That's gonna take a lot of food, but it'd be great!"

Of course, their speech is heavily muffled, but you can still tell they're both excited at the idea of being like this more often.

W: (helps the fawns into the truck Dad rented) all of you are welcome to come by for kinky fun at my house. (Tails was in my pickup bed) Sonic, you can invite some of your other friends to come too. now, Rotom washing machine, here we come! (but that's a story for another day)
