Jose groaned as he awoke, realizing he was still as plump as ever. "Was I eating in my sleep? Or, nah. How can something like a dream affect me in real life?" He thought as he struggled to get up. His pyjamas had lost a few buttons, exposing his massive belly for all to see.

"Oh boy. Uh Dad?" Mateo mumbled. "So we're kind of Dream Chasers and what happened last night wasn't just a weird dream. There's a nightmare cook on the run."

Jose was surprised, but it did explain quite a lot about how the kids were now suddenly no longer begging to stay up past their bedtimes. "Oh Dad! Did you see us? And did you see how cool Bunchu was?" Izzie butted in. "Oh, also Oz says the next night you'll be meeting with everyone else Banquetta turned into a blob."

"Ever-everyone else?! I know she was busy but how bad could it get?" Jose squeaked. "Uh, can you help me up?"

The two kids gave their massive father a good pull, careful not to make him tumble over onto them. "Thanks, uh. Good thing it's the weekend, gah. I dunno how I'm gonna sleep tonight after that wild dream."

"Hey don't worry, Professor Oz said he's got everything under control."

Later that night, Jose shut his eyes and attempted to calmly fall asleep. He was still thinking about Banquetta and her supposed previous victims. "Well, maybe she's only taken one person per realm? I mean I think she only went after me, right?"

Finally he was fast asleep, awakening in front of Oz and Albert. But what caught his attention were the many men waddling around, many groups coming from the exact same realm. "She's been busy all month long, she's most likely proclaimed herself as the Nightmare Queen now." The Dream Chaser remarked. "She's had her most fun in Ninjago I see, almost everyone has become a blob. Poor Zane here was as fat as the entire city before I managed to slim him down a little."

The droid blushed as he waved. "I still have the marks where she squeezed hardest. Why does she even like fattening up men?"

A knight waddled forward, brandishing a blue hilted sword. "Perhaps she was once a normal chef who was corrupted?"

Then a police lieutenant piped up. "Or she just really likes fat men? That's always possible."

"Clay, Duke, I think that will be answered if the author doesn't suffer from severe burnout from writing a oneshot that surpasses 1000 words every day." Prof Oz joked. "I can't believe Sumotember is finally over, it feels like just yesterday when she first aired that ad in Clutch Power's realm."

"Yeah, I still can't believe she's done all this in just a month. Uh, also is exercise really the only way to shed the rest of this weight?"

"I ain't complaining, mate. Gathering artifacts for the museum gives me a good workout."

"And as leader of the Alpha Team I have a strict training regimen. Although the sudden fattening did result in a start in sumo matches in case Ogel tries something like this again."

"Ha, Anomalo, or Joe as I call him, said he's keeping the weight. I mean ghosts are technically weightless anyways. Hey, where are all those bad guys that got fattened up?"

Prof Oz had a feeling. "Nah, they're still in the awaking world. I don't think the author has it in her to make an entire fic. Maybe if she finishes one of her ongoing comics?"

Jose just sat there confused. "Uh, okay? Once I wake up I'll just have a smoothie bowl for breakfast."
