The plan was simple…so simple that the hive laughed her out of the cave. Nirvana stood behind her stall and gave the biggest smile she could. “Free hugs and snuggles! Help us survive!” Her banner shouted in bright, warm colors. Undisguised and completely open, Nirvana waited. A few ponies stared at the strange changling who simply offered a smile in return. Even as she could feel the awkwardness in the air, she fought to keep her smile going.

Finally, a lone stallion walked up to the stall. “….What are you trying to get at, Miss? Last I heard, changling would rather do…unmentionable things for this…not just open up a stall and just ask.” Nirvana kept her smile wide even as she felt the cold malice coming from the stallion. “Well…i figured that ponies might appreciate me asking. No tricks or deceit. A simple hug never heard anypony, right?”

A few of the stallions approached the stall with a blush in their faces. One rushed up and pushed the gruff stallion away before reaching over and wrapping Nirvana up in a tight hug. “EEP!” She squeaked as she felt his warm hooves wrap around her carapace. Instantly, the warm affections poured into her body, making Nirvana giggle with excitement. “Thank you.” She whispered as she swallowed up the heart floating between them.

The stallion pulled away, still blushing as he walked off. Satisfied, the others began to form a line to the booth. Nirvana could barely contain herself, making sure every single hug was as tight as she could make it. She belched as so many hearts swirled inside her translucent belly as it rounded out. A stallion poked her in her softness, making her blush and swoon. “Oh my…someone likes it when I’m so cuddly and jiggly.”

As Nirvana continued hugging, her body changed with every hug. What was once a skinny, frail looking changling was now a very fat, very happy and very jiggly creature. Her legs wobbled with every hug as her belly squished into each stallion and a few mares in line. Her seat became divine as her rump softened, giving her lots of squish as she sat around.

A few stallions began to nuzzle and grope her body constantly, forcing Nirvana to bloat constantly. The sea of hearts inside her belly churned and flashed as she had trouble digesting them all at once.

BUUUUUUUURRRRRRRAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPRRRRPPPPPPP

Nirvana blushed as the crowd cheered for her. More and more ponies gathered around her for a massive group hug. Nirvana began to sweat as a swarm of hearts seemed to be forced directly into her body, piling on tons of love and inches upon inches of fat.

As the sun set on the little marketplace, Nirvana was left panting and satisfied. Her body was so big that she couldn’t move. All the pent up love swam through her body, clouding her mind and making her giggle into the night. “Sooooo full….but i can’t moooove.” She tried her best but found her hind legs far too stumpy to move and her belly impossibly large. “If the hive doesn’t find me…..will they hug me even bigger tomorrow?” Nirvana blushed as she imaging herself bigger than the houses surrounding the tiny market square.
