The idea for this episode is basically Rebecca Cunningham for a month will become about as fat as Baloo (or a bit more so) and experience the pros and cons of Baloo's life all awhile hijinks ensue like Dancing and other stuff like that

Triggers as to how Beckers become about as fat as Baloo (or a bit more so) can range from a faux-eating contest planned by Baloo, Lazers, Magic Potions.. anything is possible! ^^

This is basically a story where it will bring Rebecca and Baloo even closer in terms of their relationship

Hi CyberFox. Nice to see you wanna help with the Virtual Season project of Talespin.

The idea of Becky gaining weight is an interesting idea. But here's some thoughts to ponder:

-Why and how did Rebecca become sooo fat in the first place? Is she trying to get even with someone who called her fat, or doesn't have enough meat on her bones?
-How would this, not only affect her relationship with Baloo, but also her position as manager of H4H? Could she be soo focused on becoming fat that it might wind up hurting business because she's putting so much on energy on gaining weight?
-How will Rebecca becoming overweight really influence her relationship with Baloo, as Baloo's boss and friend?

Remember-- nothing is set in stone yet. All it takes is teamwork.

For question #1: The idea i have in mind is Baloo discovers a magic wishing stone and wishes her to be as fat as him or fatter than him* (*your choice) and yes, it's a form of payback for the times she disses Baloo over his weight
for Question #2: She will try to run H4H despite the situation she's suddenly in (with comedic results thrown in, if necessary ;3)
and for Question #3: It could possibly work, given if there's a situation that would bring'em together even with Rebecca's new overweight stature later on

There could be 2 twist endings for this if accepted for the Virtual Season

The 1st will be It's a dream/nightmare that brings Rebecca and Baloo even closer than before
The other is Rebecca loves the experience so much that she will consider becoming overweight via the magic stone again ^^

She could get depressed and comfort eat, I did that once and it took months too burn off! But then Baloo's girth would take magic like that idol that switch his mind with Kit's, some spell that switches the thing two have that they have least in common might work.

I would like it better to be like a light-hearted episodes of the Virtual Season where Rebecca can have some character development involving the relationship between her and Baloo (which was never tackled in the series run)

So my idea is best^^
Besides, the Freaky Friday-esque episode of TaleSpin is kinda lame in my opinion

Which one? "The Incredible Shrinking Molly"?

Nah, I like that episode
The one i was referring to is the episode where Baloo, Kit, Rebecca and etc swap bodies via some mystical MacGuffin in a lightning storm
It was cool when ya first see it and compare it to Freaky Friday, then you know it was a lame episode in retrospect

Where as Incredible Shrinking Molly was a fun episode and an under appreciated episode to be exact

never the less seeing her as fatter than Baloo would be cute and awesome

Maybe the best way for the plot to work would be if it's a bad dream brought on by her insulting Baloo's weight. After the dream, she realizes the hardships of being overweight. When she sees Baloo again, she tells him she's sorry about what she said and says she should have offered to help him get fit instead of insulting him.

I actually like your idea, instead of putting an odd situation that makes her gain weight. Because the potion, strange machine or magic again in the series it would be predictable, I think the dream would work better in this story. It makes the characters realize things.

You know... It could work this way

The episode will start with Becky and Baloo having an argument
and the fun begins when Becky dreams this adventure up where she slowly becomes fatter and fatter without reason and in her dream, she wakes up as fatter than Baloo - not only that her feet are much bigger (for balance and what not)

and we'll have fun from there
what'cha think?

this will sound odd to put in, but i saw this episode of South Park where Cartman thinks he's dead, and decides to give gift baskets to the people he hurt. And one of them he leaves to was supposed to be Sally Struthers, who was of course Rebecca in TaleSpin.

I'm sorta confused by this, cause they showed her being overweight. what was the joke behind that? and what was the story before South Park mocked it? i have no idea what happened. and sorry to talking about this in a topic that's meant to be about a fat Becky story.

I don't know everything about it, but there was an episode where she was in Africa around Thanksgiving trying to get people to fund starving children there. The kids call after seeing they'd get this watch. However, because of a misunderstanding, a child from America is sent to them instead. After a certain group finds out about the mistake, they go to Cartman's house to get the kid, who tricks them into taking Cartman to Africa. While he was there, he was starving and wanted food. He eventually found a warehouse full of it, but Sally was hoarding it. When she refused to give him any, he ratted her out to the locals. They didn't take too kindly to her actions. I think that's the wrong he was trying to make up for.
