My third Lion Guard collab with
CreamsicleCat, and this time it is Fuli being in focus!
After she damages one of her feet badly Fuli is forced to lay down and rest for a very long time, and that ends up making her body start to become something it is not used to.
Lazy!
How will things go for Fuli?
Read this story to find out!
CreamsicleCat also did the image that I used for the thumbnail, and can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21948330/
Fuli and the rest of the Lion Guard characters belongs to Disney.
Across the wide open grass fields, and under the scorching hot sun they came!
The Lion Guard!
They where all charging towards their next destination!
Dashing off towards the horizons!
Running!...not so very fast.
The first one most other animals would notice would be the cheetah girl Fuli (As she would just appear as a yellow doted fragment in front of their eyes before she was gone), before seeing the rest of the Lion Guard troupes coming way behind after her.
It wasn't that it was impossible to keep up with Fuli, but more that not all of the guard members could be as quick when moving as the rest.
While Kion, Bunga, and Ono all also sported the ability to take on high levels of speed for running and flying when needed, the same sadly couldn't be said about Beshte.
The Hippo might be known to be the most quickest moving creatures when in water (Out swimming even the fastest of Crocodiles.), but as soon as the big guy was placed on dry land all he could truly feel all of those 3,000lbs starting to weight his body down!
His body and legs was still built to handle weight of this magnitude, but a hippo was also mostly suppose to be moving calmly from place to place in search for food. (Not trying to keep up running with a Cheetah!)
So as a result of this the other three guys in the team decided to slow down their own pace in order to give Beshte a chance to keep up with them, and it was only the one in the group that was known as "The Fastest" that was getting a tiny bit tired of always having to wait on the rest of them.
They where still getting to were they where heading. (Just not as fast as she would wish for.)
"Come on you guys! The day will be over before we even get there!" Fuli said as she was starting to run big circles around the rest of her team, as she was hoping that this would get them started into next gear.
"No need to try and stress us Fuli. You know that this is not an emergency situation that we are called for, so we can get there in a calm and steady pace." Kion explained, to which Fuli just rolled her eyes over.
"Kion does have a point. Running blindly into unknown scenarios can only increase the chances of nasty accidents to happen. It's always better to keep a lookout for what's ahead first." Ono added.
"Plus, we would never go away anywhere without making sure Beshte is with us, and can bring his help to the team." Bunga finished of. (Making Beshte himself feel very happy to have such carrying friends.) "Or do you have something against Beshte?"
"I have nothing against Beshte. I just think that when it is a real emergency it can only be about a few seconds before we might be there to late...AHH!!!!" Fuli said before suddenly making a hard slam into the ground and tumbling her body over a few times!
(While running in circles Fuli had been getting pretty close to a very large tree, and when not paying attention she failed to notice some very large roots sticking up from the ground. This had resulted in the cheetah girl first getting one of her ankles stuck into the root, and then the force of having the rest of her body still moving at top speed had caused her to bend and dislocating said ankle before the force managed to get it free!)
Rushing over to their injured friend they all realised that Fuli was really badly hurt, and as they laid her on top of the wide back of Beshte they knew there was only one creature in the Pride Lands that know just what to do!
"Oh yes." The old Baboon Rafiki said as he touched at the injured part of Fuli (Making the Cheetah roar out in pain!), "This is very bad."
"It doesn't look very pretty." Beshte said as he was super worried for the wellbeing of his friend.
"Is there any chance that Fuli will get better Rafiki?" Kion asked, to which the wise monkey was quiet for a few moments before starting to gather a few things.
"I think I might be able to speed up the healing process if I do this." Rafiki said as he placed as couple of long stick along side the slightly crooked legs of Fuli. He then covered it all with leaves, that he then pulled close together with vines. Finally he poured some resin from out of a coconut bowl, as to make sure that the construction would be hold in place as the resin got hardened.
"So. I think that should do it." Rafiki said as he stepped back, and Fuli (Along with the rest of the Lion Guard) could see the self-made cast that she was now sporting.
"This should help speed up the process of healing your damaged ankle, but be aware that this is a very long going progress, and it requires minimum movements!" Rafiki warned, and upon hearing the part of her basically not being allowed to walk at all Fuli quickly asked, "H-How long are we talking about here?"
"Oh, maybe a month or two." Rafiki said in a surprisingly none carrying tone. (Which only caused the already overly stressed cheetah girl to get driven even more nuts!)
"Oh come on! You must know a little bit more then that!" Fuli said as she tried to get up and walk over to him, but her injured leg pretty quickly got her back into resting on the ground again.
"When you have a broken bone inside of you the last thing you should do is to put all your support on it!" Rafiki said, as he this time sounded a lot more serious over her own safety.
"But if I don't get to move for a few months then I think I will flip out!" Fuli pleaded, to which the old monkey simply replied with, "If you try to speed up your healing process then you might NEVER be able to walk again!"
Hearing that serious warning Fuli stopped trying to win the argument, and instead simply accepted that she would be forced to wait for her leg under her cast to get better.
Once again all of Fuli's friends helped out carrying her as they walked away from the giant tree from within Rafiki lived in, and the injured cheetah girl was still more then a little bit upset over all that had happen to her.
Telling a Cheetah to not run was like asking for a Warthog not to smell. It was asking for the impossible.
But yet this was now what Fuli's life was forced to be like for a few months, as her cast wrapped leg left her next to forced to just lay restlessly and eat all day until she would fall asleep.
Actually, there was nobody forcing her to eat so much while like this. And it was not like she ate a lot to hide her pains or being lazy.
She did it cause she was angry and constantly hung up and upset over the whole thing. How she had not been keeping her eyes on where she was running, or how someone like her that had "speed" as her main strength would end up breaking her ankle during such a "lame" situation.
"Why couldn't I have had this happen to me when I was fighting against Janja and his crew with the rest of the guard, or in a battle on life and death against a crazy crocodile, or something more epic sounding then this?!" Fuli asked herself as she took another bite out of a big juicy buffalo that some lionesses had been giving her on the order of Kion.
Since he wished to help her feel better in some way (and noticing her doing nothing but eating) the son of the king had figured that maybe giving Fuli more stuff to chew on would make her a little bit happy, so he had been asking his dad to try and have some of the stuff that the lioness hunters catch to be drop by where Fuli was resting.
Fuli herself didn't like to be seen as "so weak that I can't even hunt for myself", but knowing what a disrespect it would be to reject the gifts she was given the cheetah girl just gave a "convincing enough" smile to the lionesses that gave the meat to her, before starting to take a few bites out of it as to not let it all go to waste.
Eventually these "little bites" soon became "half of the animal", and even further still it had ended up as "Down to the bones" with how much of these prey gifts that she got!
Along with her constant eating as time went on so did her weight as Fuli soon started to develop both a bulging belly, thicker limbs, and extra chins. (To mention a few of the many changes.)
Even as her growing leg was making the cast feel tighter and tighter around it, it didn't stop Fuli from lazily keep on eating herself even bigger!
"With a broken leg I am about as useless of a hunter as a fat Zebra." Fuli thought to herself as she now almost seemed determined to try and eat as much as she could of what she was being served.
This kind of thinking eventually did lead to her bad leg into getting so fat that it one day made the whole cast first crack up, and then completely blow up from her Elephant thick leg!
Not that Fuli was planning on moving anyway as all she thought about was how nice it felt to have the wind blow at her previously covered up fur area, and she went back to mindlessly eating of a killed Wildebeest.
As the days went on so did the pounds that Fuli was adding onto her body, and the further into obesity she went the less and less did she start to think that she would ever be seen running again.
When so finally the day came when she felt that there was nothing hurting inside her leg Fuli decided to try and stand up for the first time in months, and...she could!
She could actually stand on her bad leg again without it hurting her at all!
"Finally! Time to take off across the fields again, and show them all that you are still the fastest one of the Guard!" Fuli declared as she started to make her first run since many days.
She got a good start as she could feel that wonderful rush of wind and dust spreading around her as she hit her paws into the ground, and she could just see the sun rising from the horizon. (Almost as to challenge her to try and reach it!)
But very quickly then Fuli started to feel a few obstacles that was slowing her down!
It was like something heavy was riding on top of her as to pull her down. When he paws smashed into the ground it left some very massive and deep prints behind. And worst of all, her breath felt like it was next to none!
"W-Why (Gasp!) can't I (Gasp!) Run?! (Gasp!)" The cheetah girl asked as she shortly afterwards collapsed onto the ground, and rolled over to help her chest expand more.
Once rolled over did she first get to see just how incredibly massive she now was!
She who had previously been the most slim and slick of all the animals in Pride Lands was now a big blubbery mountain of fat! With a belly that was about as wide as three of her and almost dragging at the ground when she was standing up, legs that felt both smaller and less movable, a head and body that seemed to have no neck space in-between each other, and big butt that looked like an much more deadly weapon then her claws or teeth was now!
To keep it short, she was basically almost the same size and body shape as Beshte now! (Except that she was having fur all over her body instead of his.)
When injured Fuli had been foolishly thinking that the eating could keep her distracted from thinking about the embarrassing fact that she was a injured cheetah. That when now being good in her leg she had simply been ignoring and wishing for all of that extra weight to only be something in her head.
Now she was laying here. As a really fat cat, and almost being completely trapped under what was now her new body. With nobody else to blame but herself.
"Please tell me this is just a dream!" Fuli was heard pleading to herself, as her rising belly was looking more and more like it was going to consume the rest of her!
In a real battle between her fears and the cruel reality unfolded in front of her Fuli was slowly but surely starting to realise that this was indeed her worst fears come to life.
She was no longer an injured Cheetah, but now instead so big and fat that she might never be able to run again. (Or even get back up from her current self pinning!)
"Why me?! Why me?! WHY ME?!" Fuli screamed out as she was on the verge of crying rivers from her own self-pity when suddenly a very friendly (and familiar) voice said, "Fuli? Are you alright?" and upon turning her head around she saw that it was none other then Beshte that had heard her screams and come as quickly as possible to her aid.
"I heard you where screaming and...wow!" Beshte said before first now seeing just how big the cheetah girl he had barley seen anything from had now become.
He quickly saw her current situation of her being unable to move and he politely asked, "Shall I help you get up?" as the very embarrassed Fuli just nodded in response before the big muscles of the group used almost all his strenght in order to help his friend turn over to the right side.
With all her four paws touching the ground now Fuli was able to lift her big belly up in the air again, and while still feeling awful from having had Beshte seen her in her helpless state, she was very thankful for his kindly help.
"Thanks Beshte. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been here." Fuli said before trying to call this a finished conversation and get away as quickly as her stubby legs would allow her.
But she hadn't been able to jiggle away more then a few inches before she suddenly had Beshte walking right alongside her and asking, "So what happen to you? I know that you didn't like having to lay still and let your leg get fixed, but I barley recognize you now!"
"Sigh" Fuli said to herself, (As she knew she couldn't hide the truth from her friends) before taking a deep breath and explaining everything. How her having to do nothing made her start get this thoughts of her not being able to ever be that fit cheetah that she used to be. How by laying huge chunks of food in front of her face was slowly making her feel forced to eat it all, and how eventually being all alone had made her get so obsessed that she didn't even know how to stop with the eating's as it was the only thing to really make her feel happy.
"That's sounds awful! Had I known that I would have made sure to kept you company all the time." Beshte said as his ears started to hang down droopy, as the hippo was starting to judge himself hard.
"It's not your fault Beshte! I could have told any of the lionesses that dropped me the food that I didn't need that much, or that one of them could have stayed and kept me company." Fuli explained, as she started feel a bit lighter inside over being honest about it all. (Making her almost forget the feelings of all those extra pounds weighting her down.)
"So...any ideas on how to move on?" Beshte asked (Hoping that he could somehow assist his friend during these hard times she was having), and Fuli was just about to kindly say "Thanks, but no thanks." when she took a good look at her friend's body shape.
His low hanging and swelled out middle, his very chunky and stumpy legs, and that very fat covered and limited moving head of his. It all did look just as Fuli was doing now!
"Maybe he could in fact help me with everything I need right now?" Fuli thought to herself before looking Beshte in the eyes, and in a bit of a tiny lost of her dignity she heard herself ask, "Beshte? Can you teach me how to move more like a Hippo?"
Beshte was pretty surprised hearing Fuli ask this very specific question being asked to him, and all he could think about in return to say was "Are you sure about it?"
"Yes I am. I can barley waddle anywhere without breaking a sweat and getting short on breath, my steps feels as heavy as an elephant's, and this belly of mine keeps swinging like crazy as soon as I start to move!" Fuli said, and made a small step forward to show that her belly did indeed almost make her fall over to the side from it's Pendle effect. "I really need some help in how to move with so much mass on myself."
"Well then you came to the right hippo. I will make sure to try my best into making you just as good at walking as I did when I was just a little baby." Beshte said, as he was just happy to be at any help for a friend in need.
The first lesson for Fuli's new body was to try and adapt how heavy her paws would hit the ground upon taking a step. For Fuli this first felt like she reached a sudden stop with the end of her paw, but then she could also feel how her fatted up leg almost sunk in a few inches into the rest of her body before fully stopping! (Which was what almost caused her to fall over upon every step she took.)
Beshte explained to her that this was a very normal thing for Hippos, and that by putting an extra bit of support onto the leg she was putting down she would feel a lot more stable. (Which Fuli almost immediately did upon trying that technique.)
After that Beshte asked if Fuli could try to walk back and forward a few times at a calm pace, and noticed that the young cheetah girl was just letting her big gut hang freely. (Making her a lot more unease with her pace and steps.)
It all came to a very embarrassing end as Fuli's belly ended up swinging to much onto one side when she tried to take her first curve, and it lead to her falling over completely and needing the help of Beshte to get back up onto her feet again.
"This stupid hanging mass of fat!" Fuli shouted out in anger as she kicked her biggest source of weight with one of the legs as she got back up again. "How can you even walk normally when this thing makes you tip over with every step?"
"It's not that hard actually. You just make sure that you make your whole body move into the same swinging rhythm as your belly does, instead of trying to keep it straight all the time." Beshte explained as he did some walking around Fuli, and she did noticed very well how both Beshte's shoulders and hips was in perfect synchronisation with his belly swing.
"I never knew you needed to use all of your body like this just to move." Fuli said amazed as she too tried out shaking her whole fat self the same way as he belly was doing. (With a lot more working results this time.)
"When you are as big as me now, you come to learn that every single pound of weight is needed when wanting to move it around." Beshte said before getting an idea.
"Would you like to try and go fast also?" He asked teasingly, that in return tossed Fuli off guard so much that she ended up tumbling over again before asking, "Fast?! You mean that you can run while being like THIS?!"
"Well...technically no running, but you have seen me when I come charging against enemies we fight?" Besthe asked as he helped Fuli getting back up again.
"Yes. You seem like such an unstoppable beast when you start running like that!" Fuli said as she was fully able to stand on her legs again. "Are you saying I can also be like that?"
"You do have the right type of body for it." Beshte said before demonstrating how he does it.
Trying to keep a close eye on every single movement that her friend was making Fuli noticed a more "up & down" pattern instead of the usual "side to side", and upon looking closer she could see why.
Beshte was first making a small jump up, then he let his whole body land straight onto his belly (making it press down into the ground), and then as the fat sack came back into it's normal shape again it would give him an extra boost to jump both upwards and forwards. (Repeat this process a few times and pretty soon he was seen charging on like a rhino!)
"Wow! That's amazing!" Fuli said, as watching that speed coming from Beshte was almost like her seeing own lighting fast running.
"Would you like to try now?" Beshte asked, but before Fuli had a chance to say yes both of them heard the sound of a few "HELP!!!" being shouted out, and they knew that there was someone needing them now!
Charging over (Or rather Beshte charging, as Fuli was just trying to keep up with him.) to where the screams had been heard the heroic duo was shocked to see that Janja and his two dumb Hyena henchmen had been circling around a defenceless group of baby animals!
"Oh that is low! Even for Janja." Beshte said as Fuli finally managed to catch up to him.
Looking over at her side she was quite shocked to see such an anger side of the otherwise positive Beshte, as he was breathing heavily through his nostrils and looking ready to attack!
"Uhm...Beshte? Are you alright?" Fuli asked carefully before the big guy shouted out "Twende Kiboko!", and came charging towards the Hyenas!
"Say Janja. What if the Lion Guard shows up and forces us away again?" Ceezi asked nervously as the three of them was walking in circles around the baby animals.
"That's why we make sure to eat them all now quickly before they come!" Janja said, as he had his eyes locked onto tasting that tiny little elephant child that was in the trapped group.
"Oh boy! I always love me some fast food..." The always hungry Chungu said before he got a really super mad hippo slamming into him, and sending him flying straight into a tree!
The other hyenas was both a bit surprised and nervous upon the arrival of Beshte, but as soon as they also saw the very obese Fuli make an entrance neither of the two standing (or the one getting back up on his feet again) could hold themselves from laughing like mad.
"HAHAHAH!!! She looks so fat!" Cheezi said.
"Guess she is now the "Fattest" on the Savannah!" Chungu added in.
"Hey! You leave those kids alone!" Fuli shouted as she tried to make herself look somewhat intimidating.
"You know what? Fine." Janja then said, making both his underdogs look at him like he was mad.
"You WHAT?!" Cheezi and Chungu both said in confusion, as Janja ordered them to make room and let the babies escape.
"Easy there guys, I have a plan. Why settle for tiny little appetites, when you have the main course standing right in front of us?" Janja asked as he looked at Fuli and started licking his lips! (Pretty soon being followed by his two closest guys doing the same thing.)
This was not how Fuli had been planning for things to go!
She came in with Beshte to save the baby animals from getting eaten by the Hyenas, and now instead they where all looking at HER as the meal!
"You don't get any closer to her!" Beshte said as he tried to stay protective between Fuli and the Hyenas, but pretty soon saw how Janja's two goons was surrounding them at the sides.
"Looks like you can't be like her, and run fast enough to be at all sides at the same time!" Janja said tauntingly, as he along with Chungu and Cheezi kept coming closer and closer to the two overweight preys!
Fuli was so nervous about trying to keep up with Beshte and face every Hyena that got to close that she didn't notice how she at one point had to turn extra quickly, making her large belly swing with such force that it slammed into Chungu and forced him to hit the ground!
Realising that she too could battle along side Beshte on the same way Fuli felt less scared now, and much more ready to kick some Hyena butt with her friend!
Breaking out of the circle the Hyenas had been holding up to this point both Beshte and Fuli managed to find the right rhythm to pick up charging speed, and pretty soon it was they two that was starting to have the hyenas trapped in a circle!
"Janja! What do we do now?" Cheezi asked scared as Chungu got back up on his feet again.
"The hippo one is to strongly built, but that cheetah girl is just pure fat. Pin her down!" Janja shouted as he sent Chungu and Cheezi after Fuli, while he kept Beshte distracted.
Having two hyenas trying to capture her was not something Fuli was enjoying, but knowing how she now could be using her own overweight body as a weapon made her feel a lot more confident on herself.
Seeing Cheezi coming back for seconds Fuli decided to give himself something else as she lined up when he was getting close enough, before swinging around and smacking him a good few feet away with the force of her butt!
Chungu looked more then a little scared now, but Fuli wasn't going to let him out of the fun as she was charging up for that "spring" technique, that Beshte had been showing her earlier.
With some bounches on her belly Fuli managed to build up momentum as she came towards the frozen in fear hyena, and with a quick (and gracious) jump the cheetah flied into the air for a few seconds, before giving Chungu the mother of all Belly Flops!
Hearing all the commotion Janja was taking one eye away from his fight with Beshte to see how both his best (and only) fighters was counted out, and to his horror he could see Fuli gunning for him next!
He tried to escape his fate, but ran straight into the side belly of Beshte instead! And before he could run away from that Fuli came sliding up with her sides first, and made sure that she can Beshte got to be very CLOSE together! (With Janja still in-between!)
SMACK!!!
For a second it just looked like the two obese beasts was resting their sides next to each other, but as soon as Fuli started to lift her body away from Besthe a very squeezed and wounded Janja could be seen crawling out from the tight space.
"And now get out of the Pride Lands Janja!!" Fuli shouted, and it didn't take long for the hyena trio to run off with their tails between their legs from the two of them!
Fuli had to admit that despite all the fears and sad thoughts she had been having about being as obese as a hippo, things had been turning out surprisingly well for her.
She had learned a whole knew way of being strong, and she even got to prove it by kicking the butts of Janja and his crew.
But still...she couldn't help but miss...
"Fuli? How are you doing?" Beshte asked, as he saw the cheetah girl was just starring up into the sky with a blank expression to her face.
"I'm fine, but I can't help but miss my old body, and my old self. Running is my life. To see just how fast I can be, and to feel the wind against my fur as I outrun every other animal on the savannah." Fuli explained before lowering her head. "I just want to be able to run again."
"If that is what you truly want then I would be more then happy to help you get back into shape again." Beshte said, making Fuli lid up as a sudden sunrise.
"Really? You would actually want to help me lose all this?" Fuli asked as she felt like just running up and hugging the big lovable guy.
"Yes. I can be with you to try and make you run as much as your body will allow, and then we just try to do a little more tomorrow." Beshte said, as he came up and rubbed his chubby chin next to Fuli.
"Thank you so much Beshte. Both for helping me get better at moving, and for helping me get back into my old shape again. I swear I will never forget this." Fuli said as she couldn't hold back her feelings any longer, and started to cry some tears onto Beshte's shoulder for support.
"There, there. We will have you able to run again in no time." Beshte said, as Fuli wiped some of her tears out of her eyes and said, "Even when I get back into the body of a Cheetah, I will forever be a Hippo at heart."
CreamsicleCat, and this time it is Fuli being in focus!After she damages one of her feet badly Fuli is forced to lay down and rest for a very long time, and that ends up making her body start to become something it is not used to.
Lazy!
How will things go for Fuli?
Read this story to find out!
CreamsicleCat also did the image that I used for the thumbnail, and can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21948330/Fuli and the rest of the Lion Guard characters belongs to Disney.

"Come on you guys! The day will be over before we even get there!" Fuli said as she was starting to run big circles around the rest of her team, as she was hoping that this would get them started into next gear.
"No need to try and stress us Fuli. You know that this is not an emergency situation that we are called for, so we can get there in a calm and steady pace." Kion explained, to which Fuli just rolled her eyes over.
"Kion does have a point. Running blindly into unknown scenarios can only increase the chances of nasty accidents to happen. It's always better to keep a lookout for what's ahead first." Ono added.
"Plus, we would never go away anywhere without making sure Beshte is with us, and can bring his help to the team." Bunga finished of. (Making Beshte himself feel very happy to have such carrying friends.) "Or do you have something against Beshte?"
"I have nothing against Beshte. I just think that when it is a real emergency it can only be about a few seconds before we might be there to late...AHH!!!!" Fuli said before suddenly making a hard slam into the ground and tumbling her body over a few times!
(While running in circles Fuli had been getting pretty close to a very large tree, and when not paying attention she failed to notice some very large roots sticking up from the ground. This had resulted in the cheetah girl first getting one of her ankles stuck into the root, and then the force of having the rest of her body still moving at top speed had caused her to bend and dislocating said ankle before the force managed to get it free!)
Rushing over to their injured friend they all realised that Fuli was really badly hurt, and as they laid her on top of the wide back of Beshte they knew there was only one creature in the Pride Lands that know just what to do!
"Oh yes." The old Baboon Rafiki said as he touched at the injured part of Fuli (Making the Cheetah roar out in pain!), "This is very bad."
"It doesn't look very pretty." Beshte said as he was super worried for the wellbeing of his friend.
"Is there any chance that Fuli will get better Rafiki?" Kion asked, to which the wise monkey was quiet for a few moments before starting to gather a few things.
"I think I might be able to speed up the healing process if I do this." Rafiki said as he placed as couple of long stick along side the slightly crooked legs of Fuli. He then covered it all with leaves, that he then pulled close together with vines. Finally he poured some resin from out of a coconut bowl, as to make sure that the construction would be hold in place as the resin got hardened.
"So. I think that should do it." Rafiki said as he stepped back, and Fuli (Along with the rest of the Lion Guard) could see the self-made cast that she was now sporting.
"This should help speed up the process of healing your damaged ankle, but be aware that this is a very long going progress, and it requires minimum movements!" Rafiki warned, and upon hearing the part of her basically not being allowed to walk at all Fuli quickly asked, "H-How long are we talking about here?"
"Oh, maybe a month or two." Rafiki said in a surprisingly none carrying tone. (Which only caused the already overly stressed cheetah girl to get driven even more nuts!)
"Oh come on! You must know a little bit more then that!" Fuli said as she tried to get up and walk over to him, but her injured leg pretty quickly got her back into resting on the ground again.
"When you have a broken bone inside of you the last thing you should do is to put all your support on it!" Rafiki said, as he this time sounded a lot more serious over her own safety.
"But if I don't get to move for a few months then I think I will flip out!" Fuli pleaded, to which the old monkey simply replied with, "If you try to speed up your healing process then you might NEVER be able to walk again!"
Hearing that serious warning Fuli stopped trying to win the argument, and instead simply accepted that she would be forced to wait for her leg under her cast to get better.
Once again all of Fuli's friends helped out carrying her as they walked away from the giant tree from within Rafiki lived in, and the injured cheetah girl was still more then a little bit upset over all that had happen to her.
Telling a Cheetah to not run was like asking for a Warthog not to smell. It was asking for the impossible.
But yet this was now what Fuli's life was forced to be like for a few months, as her cast wrapped leg left her next to forced to just lay restlessly and eat all day until she would fall asleep.
Actually, there was nobody forcing her to eat so much while like this. And it was not like she ate a lot to hide her pains or being lazy.
She did it cause she was angry and constantly hung up and upset over the whole thing. How she had not been keeping her eyes on where she was running, or how someone like her that had "speed" as her main strength would end up breaking her ankle during such a "lame" situation.
"Why couldn't I have had this happen to me when I was fighting against Janja and his crew with the rest of the guard, or in a battle on life and death against a crazy crocodile, or something more epic sounding then this?!" Fuli asked herself as she took another bite out of a big juicy buffalo that some lionesses had been giving her on the order of Kion.
Since he wished to help her feel better in some way (and noticing her doing nothing but eating) the son of the king had figured that maybe giving Fuli more stuff to chew on would make her a little bit happy, so he had been asking his dad to try and have some of the stuff that the lioness hunters catch to be drop by where Fuli was resting.
Fuli herself didn't like to be seen as "so weak that I can't even hunt for myself", but knowing what a disrespect it would be to reject the gifts she was given the cheetah girl just gave a "convincing enough" smile to the lionesses that gave the meat to her, before starting to take a few bites out of it as to not let it all go to waste.
Eventually these "little bites" soon became "half of the animal", and even further still it had ended up as "Down to the bones" with how much of these prey gifts that she got!
Along with her constant eating as time went on so did her weight as Fuli soon started to develop both a bulging belly, thicker limbs, and extra chins. (To mention a few of the many changes.)
Even as her growing leg was making the cast feel tighter and tighter around it, it didn't stop Fuli from lazily keep on eating herself even bigger!
"With a broken leg I am about as useless of a hunter as a fat Zebra." Fuli thought to herself as she now almost seemed determined to try and eat as much as she could of what she was being served.
This kind of thinking eventually did lead to her bad leg into getting so fat that it one day made the whole cast first crack up, and then completely blow up from her Elephant thick leg!
Not that Fuli was planning on moving anyway as all she thought about was how nice it felt to have the wind blow at her previously covered up fur area, and she went back to mindlessly eating of a killed Wildebeest.
As the days went on so did the pounds that Fuli was adding onto her body, and the further into obesity she went the less and less did she start to think that she would ever be seen running again.
When so finally the day came when she felt that there was nothing hurting inside her leg Fuli decided to try and stand up for the first time in months, and...she could!
She could actually stand on her bad leg again without it hurting her at all!
"Finally! Time to take off across the fields again, and show them all that you are still the fastest one of the Guard!" Fuli declared as she started to make her first run since many days.
She got a good start as she could feel that wonderful rush of wind and dust spreading around her as she hit her paws into the ground, and she could just see the sun rising from the horizon. (Almost as to challenge her to try and reach it!)
But very quickly then Fuli started to feel a few obstacles that was slowing her down!
It was like something heavy was riding on top of her as to pull her down. When he paws smashed into the ground it left some very massive and deep prints behind. And worst of all, her breath felt like it was next to none!
"W-Why (Gasp!) can't I (Gasp!) Run?! (Gasp!)" The cheetah girl asked as she shortly afterwards collapsed onto the ground, and rolled over to help her chest expand more.
Once rolled over did she first get to see just how incredibly massive she now was!
She who had previously been the most slim and slick of all the animals in Pride Lands was now a big blubbery mountain of fat! With a belly that was about as wide as three of her and almost dragging at the ground when she was standing up, legs that felt both smaller and less movable, a head and body that seemed to have no neck space in-between each other, and big butt that looked like an much more deadly weapon then her claws or teeth was now!
To keep it short, she was basically almost the same size and body shape as Beshte now! (Except that she was having fur all over her body instead of his.)
When injured Fuli had been foolishly thinking that the eating could keep her distracted from thinking about the embarrassing fact that she was a injured cheetah. That when now being good in her leg she had simply been ignoring and wishing for all of that extra weight to only be something in her head.
Now she was laying here. As a really fat cat, and almost being completely trapped under what was now her new body. With nobody else to blame but herself.
"Please tell me this is just a dream!" Fuli was heard pleading to herself, as her rising belly was looking more and more like it was going to consume the rest of her!
In a real battle between her fears and the cruel reality unfolded in front of her Fuli was slowly but surely starting to realise that this was indeed her worst fears come to life.
She was no longer an injured Cheetah, but now instead so big and fat that she might never be able to run again. (Or even get back up from her current self pinning!)
"Why me?! Why me?! WHY ME?!" Fuli screamed out as she was on the verge of crying rivers from her own self-pity when suddenly a very friendly (and familiar) voice said, "Fuli? Are you alright?" and upon turning her head around she saw that it was none other then Beshte that had heard her screams and come as quickly as possible to her aid.
"I heard you where screaming and...wow!" Beshte said before first now seeing just how big the cheetah girl he had barley seen anything from had now become.
He quickly saw her current situation of her being unable to move and he politely asked, "Shall I help you get up?" as the very embarrassed Fuli just nodded in response before the big muscles of the group used almost all his strenght in order to help his friend turn over to the right side.
With all her four paws touching the ground now Fuli was able to lift her big belly up in the air again, and while still feeling awful from having had Beshte seen her in her helpless state, she was very thankful for his kindly help.
"Thanks Beshte. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been here." Fuli said before trying to call this a finished conversation and get away as quickly as her stubby legs would allow her.
But she hadn't been able to jiggle away more then a few inches before she suddenly had Beshte walking right alongside her and asking, "So what happen to you? I know that you didn't like having to lay still and let your leg get fixed, but I barley recognize you now!"
"Sigh" Fuli said to herself, (As she knew she couldn't hide the truth from her friends) before taking a deep breath and explaining everything. How her having to do nothing made her start get this thoughts of her not being able to ever be that fit cheetah that she used to be. How by laying huge chunks of food in front of her face was slowly making her feel forced to eat it all, and how eventually being all alone had made her get so obsessed that she didn't even know how to stop with the eating's as it was the only thing to really make her feel happy.
"That's sounds awful! Had I known that I would have made sure to kept you company all the time." Beshte said as his ears started to hang down droopy, as the hippo was starting to judge himself hard.
"It's not your fault Beshte! I could have told any of the lionesses that dropped me the food that I didn't need that much, or that one of them could have stayed and kept me company." Fuli explained, as she started feel a bit lighter inside over being honest about it all. (Making her almost forget the feelings of all those extra pounds weighting her down.)
"So...any ideas on how to move on?" Beshte asked (Hoping that he could somehow assist his friend during these hard times she was having), and Fuli was just about to kindly say "Thanks, but no thanks." when she took a good look at her friend's body shape.
His low hanging and swelled out middle, his very chunky and stumpy legs, and that very fat covered and limited moving head of his. It all did look just as Fuli was doing now!
"Maybe he could in fact help me with everything I need right now?" Fuli thought to herself before looking Beshte in the eyes, and in a bit of a tiny lost of her dignity she heard herself ask, "Beshte? Can you teach me how to move more like a Hippo?"
Beshte was pretty surprised hearing Fuli ask this very specific question being asked to him, and all he could think about in return to say was "Are you sure about it?"
"Yes I am. I can barley waddle anywhere without breaking a sweat and getting short on breath, my steps feels as heavy as an elephant's, and this belly of mine keeps swinging like crazy as soon as I start to move!" Fuli said, and made a small step forward to show that her belly did indeed almost make her fall over to the side from it's Pendle effect. "I really need some help in how to move with so much mass on myself."
"Well then you came to the right hippo. I will make sure to try my best into making you just as good at walking as I did when I was just a little baby." Beshte said, as he was just happy to be at any help for a friend in need.
The first lesson for Fuli's new body was to try and adapt how heavy her paws would hit the ground upon taking a step. For Fuli this first felt like she reached a sudden stop with the end of her paw, but then she could also feel how her fatted up leg almost sunk in a few inches into the rest of her body before fully stopping! (Which was what almost caused her to fall over upon every step she took.)
Beshte explained to her that this was a very normal thing for Hippos, and that by putting an extra bit of support onto the leg she was putting down she would feel a lot more stable. (Which Fuli almost immediately did upon trying that technique.)
After that Beshte asked if Fuli could try to walk back and forward a few times at a calm pace, and noticed that the young cheetah girl was just letting her big gut hang freely. (Making her a lot more unease with her pace and steps.)
It all came to a very embarrassing end as Fuli's belly ended up swinging to much onto one side when she tried to take her first curve, and it lead to her falling over completely and needing the help of Beshte to get back up onto her feet again.
"This stupid hanging mass of fat!" Fuli shouted out in anger as she kicked her biggest source of weight with one of the legs as she got back up again. "How can you even walk normally when this thing makes you tip over with every step?"
"It's not that hard actually. You just make sure that you make your whole body move into the same swinging rhythm as your belly does, instead of trying to keep it straight all the time." Beshte explained as he did some walking around Fuli, and she did noticed very well how both Beshte's shoulders and hips was in perfect synchronisation with his belly swing.
"I never knew you needed to use all of your body like this just to move." Fuli said amazed as she too tried out shaking her whole fat self the same way as he belly was doing. (With a lot more working results this time.)
"When you are as big as me now, you come to learn that every single pound of weight is needed when wanting to move it around." Beshte said before getting an idea.
"Would you like to try and go fast also?" He asked teasingly, that in return tossed Fuli off guard so much that she ended up tumbling over again before asking, "Fast?! You mean that you can run while being like THIS?!"
"Well...technically no running, but you have seen me when I come charging against enemies we fight?" Besthe asked as he helped Fuli getting back up again.
"Yes. You seem like such an unstoppable beast when you start running like that!" Fuli said as she was fully able to stand on her legs again. "Are you saying I can also be like that?"
"You do have the right type of body for it." Beshte said before demonstrating how he does it.
Trying to keep a close eye on every single movement that her friend was making Fuli noticed a more "up & down" pattern instead of the usual "side to side", and upon looking closer she could see why.
Beshte was first making a small jump up, then he let his whole body land straight onto his belly (making it press down into the ground), and then as the fat sack came back into it's normal shape again it would give him an extra boost to jump both upwards and forwards. (Repeat this process a few times and pretty soon he was seen charging on like a rhino!)
"Wow! That's amazing!" Fuli said, as watching that speed coming from Beshte was almost like her seeing own lighting fast running.
"Would you like to try now?" Beshte asked, but before Fuli had a chance to say yes both of them heard the sound of a few "HELP!!!" being shouted out, and they knew that there was someone needing them now!
Charging over (Or rather Beshte charging, as Fuli was just trying to keep up with him.) to where the screams had been heard the heroic duo was shocked to see that Janja and his two dumb Hyena henchmen had been circling around a defenceless group of baby animals!
"Oh that is low! Even for Janja." Beshte said as Fuli finally managed to catch up to him.
Looking over at her side she was quite shocked to see such an anger side of the otherwise positive Beshte, as he was breathing heavily through his nostrils and looking ready to attack!
"Uhm...Beshte? Are you alright?" Fuli asked carefully before the big guy shouted out "Twende Kiboko!", and came charging towards the Hyenas!
"Say Janja. What if the Lion Guard shows up and forces us away again?" Ceezi asked nervously as the three of them was walking in circles around the baby animals.
"That's why we make sure to eat them all now quickly before they come!" Janja said, as he had his eyes locked onto tasting that tiny little elephant child that was in the trapped group.
"Oh boy! I always love me some fast food..." The always hungry Chungu said before he got a really super mad hippo slamming into him, and sending him flying straight into a tree!
The other hyenas was both a bit surprised and nervous upon the arrival of Beshte, but as soon as they also saw the very obese Fuli make an entrance neither of the two standing (or the one getting back up on his feet again) could hold themselves from laughing like mad.
"HAHAHAH!!! She looks so fat!" Cheezi said.
"Guess she is now the "Fattest" on the Savannah!" Chungu added in.
"Hey! You leave those kids alone!" Fuli shouted as she tried to make herself look somewhat intimidating.
"You know what? Fine." Janja then said, making both his underdogs look at him like he was mad.
"You WHAT?!" Cheezi and Chungu both said in confusion, as Janja ordered them to make room and let the babies escape.
"Easy there guys, I have a plan. Why settle for tiny little appetites, when you have the main course standing right in front of us?" Janja asked as he looked at Fuli and started licking his lips! (Pretty soon being followed by his two closest guys doing the same thing.)
This was not how Fuli had been planning for things to go!
She came in with Beshte to save the baby animals from getting eaten by the Hyenas, and now instead they where all looking at HER as the meal!
"You don't get any closer to her!" Beshte said as he tried to stay protective between Fuli and the Hyenas, but pretty soon saw how Janja's two goons was surrounding them at the sides.
"Looks like you can't be like her, and run fast enough to be at all sides at the same time!" Janja said tauntingly, as he along with Chungu and Cheezi kept coming closer and closer to the two overweight preys!
Fuli was so nervous about trying to keep up with Beshte and face every Hyena that got to close that she didn't notice how she at one point had to turn extra quickly, making her large belly swing with such force that it slammed into Chungu and forced him to hit the ground!
Realising that she too could battle along side Beshte on the same way Fuli felt less scared now, and much more ready to kick some Hyena butt with her friend!
Breaking out of the circle the Hyenas had been holding up to this point both Beshte and Fuli managed to find the right rhythm to pick up charging speed, and pretty soon it was they two that was starting to have the hyenas trapped in a circle!
"Janja! What do we do now?" Cheezi asked scared as Chungu got back up on his feet again.
"The hippo one is to strongly built, but that cheetah girl is just pure fat. Pin her down!" Janja shouted as he sent Chungu and Cheezi after Fuli, while he kept Beshte distracted.
Having two hyenas trying to capture her was not something Fuli was enjoying, but knowing how she now could be using her own overweight body as a weapon made her feel a lot more confident on herself.
Seeing Cheezi coming back for seconds Fuli decided to give himself something else as she lined up when he was getting close enough, before swinging around and smacking him a good few feet away with the force of her butt!
Chungu looked more then a little scared now, but Fuli wasn't going to let him out of the fun as she was charging up for that "spring" technique, that Beshte had been showing her earlier.
With some bounches on her belly Fuli managed to build up momentum as she came towards the frozen in fear hyena, and with a quick (and gracious) jump the cheetah flied into the air for a few seconds, before giving Chungu the mother of all Belly Flops!
Hearing all the commotion Janja was taking one eye away from his fight with Beshte to see how both his best (and only) fighters was counted out, and to his horror he could see Fuli gunning for him next!
He tried to escape his fate, but ran straight into the side belly of Beshte instead! And before he could run away from that Fuli came sliding up with her sides first, and made sure that she can Beshte got to be very CLOSE together! (With Janja still in-between!)
SMACK!!!
For a second it just looked like the two obese beasts was resting their sides next to each other, but as soon as Fuli started to lift her body away from Besthe a very squeezed and wounded Janja could be seen crawling out from the tight space.
"And now get out of the Pride Lands Janja!!" Fuli shouted, and it didn't take long for the hyena trio to run off with their tails between their legs from the two of them!
Fuli had to admit that despite all the fears and sad thoughts she had been having about being as obese as a hippo, things had been turning out surprisingly well for her.
She had learned a whole knew way of being strong, and she even got to prove it by kicking the butts of Janja and his crew.
But still...she couldn't help but miss...
"Fuli? How are you doing?" Beshte asked, as he saw the cheetah girl was just starring up into the sky with a blank expression to her face.
"I'm fine, but I can't help but miss my old body, and my old self. Running is my life. To see just how fast I can be, and to feel the wind against my fur as I outrun every other animal on the savannah." Fuli explained before lowering her head. "I just want to be able to run again."
"If that is what you truly want then I would be more then happy to help you get back into shape again." Beshte said, making Fuli lid up as a sudden sunrise.
"Really? You would actually want to help me lose all this?" Fuli asked as she felt like just running up and hugging the big lovable guy.
"Yes. I can be with you to try and make you run as much as your body will allow, and then we just try to do a little more tomorrow." Beshte said, as he came up and rubbed his chubby chin next to Fuli.
"Thank you so much Beshte. Both for helping me get better at moving, and for helping me get back into my old shape again. I swear I will never forget this." Fuli said as she couldn't hold back her feelings any longer, and started to cry some tears onto Beshte's shoulder for support.
"There, there. We will have you able to run again in no time." Beshte said, as Fuli wiped some of her tears out of her eyes and said, "Even when I get back into the body of a Cheetah, I will forever be a Hippo at heart."
