For a few months, nothing happened. Julia gained popularity among the outcast group of teens, for getting rid of Fran. But on Halloween, something good did happen.
Everyone was dressed up in costumes, ready for trick-or-treating, and Julia had lost enough weight to be called skinny. And her costume made her look beautiful to certain people.
That morning, she went over to her friend, Anais's, house with a bike pump in one hand.
"Hey Julia!" Anais said cheerily. "You've lost a lot of weight since we first met!" They had been friends since kindergarten.
"I know." Julia said shyly.
"Hey, can you help me with something?" Julia asked Anais when they were both in her bedroom. Anais smiled.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Well, I'm going to have a really cool costume based off of my favorite female character from my favorite comic book. Aaannd in the book, that charecter is heavily pregnant. I want to make my costume as real as possible, so when I stick this-" She held up the bike pump's tube "-tube into me, I want you to start pumping that" She pointed to the bike pump "as hard as you can. OK?"
Anais nodded. Julie reached, with the tube in hand, up her skirt and stuck the tube way up her, until she felt it in her womb. Anais started pumping air in, only For Julie to realise that the air might escape her. "Wait!" She shouted.
"What?" Anais said.
"If I'm out trick-or-treating with a lot of air in me, the air might escape. Water would be better and would feel more realistic."
"You're right." Anais said. So they both headed out to her backyard, where Anais attached a hose to tube still in Julia.
"This hose is pretty powerful." Anais said. "You should be careful." She turned it on, making Julia jump a little as the water flowed into her. She put a hand on her slowly growing stomach, then had a look of mock surprise on her face.
"Anais..." Julia said. "I think... I think I'm pregnant." The look disappeared and she laughed. After a moment, her stomach was as large as a woman overdue with a 20-pound infant.
"OK, Anais, you can stop now." She did. "This is pretty near her size." She rubbed her belly. "Looks like I've really got a bun in the oven, eh?" They both laughed.
With her costume on, Julia looked beautiful. Her whole body was spray-painted a lighter shade of her skin color, making her look ghost-ish. Her stomach and breasts were covered with a specially designed corset, and there was a skirt attached to the corset, flowing over her legs. She had cute little white shoes on.
She temporairaly dyed her hair light blue, and used faux lashes for her eyelashes, to elongate them. Her cheekbones and arms were cated with a light layer of sparkles. She looked beautiful
She spun around, showing off her outfit. "I can't wait for everyone to see my costume!" She said.

When Julia arrived at school, she recieved many compliments from people, and teachers. Some people asked if she was actually pregnant. No one did any worked that day, the teachers just made the kids watch a movie about the history of Halloween, and take light notes.
That evening, Julia trick-or-treated alone, getting many compliments on her costume. Then she ran into Fiona, one of Fran's "followers".
"L-O-L!" Fiona said, in her girly voice. "Julia, you got skinny, but it looks like all of the, like, fat went into your stomach!" She laughed.
"Fiona, get out of here." Julia said in a blatant tone. "Your costume is ugly." And Julia was right. Fiona's costume was simply overdone makeup and a t-shirt saying COSTUME in bright pink letters.
Fiona stood there, unmoving. Julia tried to move around her, but she blocked her.
"Do you want me to do to you what I did to Fran?"
"Fine!" Fiona said. "Go ahead. I'm not scared." Fiona stuck her tounge out.
"OK." Julia said. She stared at Fiona for a while, and focused all her energy into her. Slowly, Fiona began to inflate. Her stomach burst out from her t-shirt, and her breasts followed along.
"Stop! Stop! Please! I didn't mean to say that! I'm sorry! Please!"
Julia stood there for a moment. She shrugged. "OK. You said please." She turned her head and walked off. Fiona stood there, filled with air.
"Wait!" She called. "Aren't you going to deflate me?"
Julia didn't reply, she just waddled off to the next house. Fiona tried to waddle after her.
