This is my contribution to Fat Bunny Week 2025 - part three of a nine-part fatfur story, based on these prompts by @fatbunnyagenda.bsky.social! Still not much fat, but that'll change for good in part four, so stay tuned!

Shinespark groaned as he woke up from his forced "nap." Modern anesthesia couldn't hold a candle to the strange energy that knocked him out. Though the rabbit still felt a bit groggy. "Ugh… Cal? Did… did you get the license plate on the starfreighter that-"
The captain instantly sobered up as he saw something that would make anyone pause.
Extending from his midsection was a perfectly round bump covered in fur. It looked like one half of a sphere had attached itself to his lower torso. Shinespark, out of curiosity, moved his finger towards it… and recoiled when his brain told him he was touching himself.
"There's no way," the bun thought as he started prodding the foreign mass. His fingers sunk into the fur - whatever was under it was rather pliable. "This couldn't be my… belly, right?"
As Shinespark experimented with this new addition to his body, he was forced to accept that yes, it was his belly. Something had snuck under his skin, and not only did it all go to his stomach region, it somehow shaped itself to be perfectly round. "This is so strange…" he thought.
<Captain Shinespark, I am pleased to see that you are awake.>
Perfect timing. If anyone could help the bunny understand what was going on, it was his ship's AI. "Cal, can you tell me what that anomalous energy was?" Shinespark asked. "And how it could be affecting me?"
<Of course. I managed to collect a sample of the energy for study. Analysis indicates it bonds to the digestive system and adipose cells. This process greatly fatigues affected furs, causing them to experience vertigo and lightheadedness for a brief moment before falling unconscious.>
OK, that explained why the rabbit passed out. "And what about this?" Shinespark added, pointing to his tummy.
<Once the energy is bonded, it makes several changes to its host. Known effects of exposure include sudden weight gain, increased metabolism, increased absorption of nutrients from food, ability to process waste material into nutrients, modified adipose tissue distribution->
*guuuurgle*
Shinespark felt his stomach rumble.
<...and increased appetite.>
The rabbit frowned. He was just fat? Seriously? What kind of deep space anomaly tries to fatten people up? "Is there a cure?" he asked Cal.
<No. I will attempt to synthesize one, but I estimate it will take up to six days.>
"Greeeaaat," Shinespark commented, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
*GIIIRGGLLE*
The bun clutched his belly as it let out an audible grumble. His stomach was telling him he needed to eat, and now. "Mngh… must be the increased appetite…" he muttered. "Cal didn't tell me how strong it would be…!"
Shinespark leapt out of his chair and left the bridge, his softened belly jiggling a bit as he moved. Time to hit up the replicator!
