While the fat bellied woman digested her "snack", Spider-Gwen was being dragged about by Mary Jane. While she initially was hesitant to go with her, she found herself enjoying every moment of it; MJ wasn't being a stuck-up bitch to her for once and she was opening up to her, which helped her learn more about her. As the hours flew by, the moment the audience had been waiting for finally arrived.
 
It was hot dog eating time.
 
Despite MJ's disdain of "normal" Gwen, she didn't seem to even notice she wasn't there, much to Spider-Gwen's relief. "Thank Goodness she's such a big fan else I'd have a giant problem on my hands!" she thought to herself but she couldn't shake this gradually building feeling of dread, like something was gonna happen but she didn't know what.
 
As the two women made their way to the stage and to their respective seats, the crowd roared with cheers and applause; the announcer waddled her way out in the stage to address the audience. "It's finally time for the Heroes' Hot Dog Hullabaloo!", she declared, excitement in her every word as the crowd cheered even louder than before. She gestured to the three ladies behind her, "Now let's meet our contestants! Sound off ladies!"
 
"You all know me by now: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Gwen!" Gwen exclaimed, causing the crowd to erupt into another deafening roar of applause and cheers.
 
"My name is Mary Jane Watson and I'm gonna make Spider-Gwen proud by out-eating her!" MJ said with a smile, also met with a thunderous response.
 
"My name is Liv O. and I'm just here for the food", the third woman stated with cold indifference, causing the audience to only give scattered applause.
 
After a brief awkward moment, the announcer spoke up; "Well those are our three hungry gals, now BRING OUT THE DOGS!". On cue, three large men brought out three equally large covered trays; the aroma of hot dogs causing Gwen's eyes to flutter behind her mask. They placed their trays in front of each of the women and uncovered what lay beneath: under each cover was a mountain of hot dogs, covered in every single last topping you could possibly find on a hot dog in New York with several enormous bottles of root beer to wash them down.
 
Gwen began salivating, having pulled up her mask just under her nose to allow herself to eat; "THESE are the hot dogs they're serving?", she thought to herself; "I expected normal plain dogs but this is gonna be a treat!". She glanced over at the other two women, recieving a look of excitement and determination from Mary Jane, filling her with competitive spirit, and a look of malice and hate from Liv, confusing her and frightening her as Liv seemed to lick her lips while looking at her.
 
"ALRIGHT LADIES, ON MY MARK!", shouted the announcer, holding up three fingers. Gwen turned her gaze back to the mountainous meal in front of her, preparing to stuff herself beyond measure. MJ looked at her idol then back at her own tray, nervous about embarassing herself but completely ready to gorge herself and do her best. Liv looked at her opponents, back at her tray then at the audience, her belly growling loudly in anticipation.
 
"3!"
 
"2!"
 
"1!"
 
"GO GO GO!" the announcer shouted, quickly making her way backstage. On cue, the three women began shoveling as many hot dogs down as they could. MJ had the lead in the first few minutes, her belly rapidly growing and quickly busting open her pants button and causing her hoodie to rise up. Liv was hot on her heels, several hot dogs disappearing down her throat at a time with occasional quick gulps of root beer. Gwen was pacing herself, she's been a part of eating contests in the past and has learned a few tricks over the years.
 
10 minutes quickly passed and Mary Jane was beginning to slow down, her belly was as tight as a drum and she really needed to make room. She grabbed one of the bottles of root beer and chugged it as quickly as she could, her belly hurting and swelling with every gulp. As she finished every last drop of the bottle, she threw it aside and rubbed her huge gut, allowing her to release a relieving "UUUUUrrrrWWWwwwAAAAPPPPPP!!!!!", causing the audience to laugh and applause her beastly belch.
 
Once it subsided, she looked over at Spider-Gwen, who gave her a quick smile and thumbs up; that small gesture completely reinvigorating her. As MJ returned to gorging herself, Liv had overtaken her in numbers, her already large stomach slowly inching forward as she continued stuffing down hot dogs like a machine. Gwen began picking her pace up as well; her suit normally could stretch a fair bit to accommodate any bloating but it was beginning to tighten around her quickly expanding gut.
 
Another 5 minutes passed and the three gluttons had all finished their first batches, immediately being replaced with another fully loaded tray of fresh hot dogs they quickly began to devour. MJ's gut now touched her knees and she now eating very slowly, Liv's belly now touched the floor but she continued eating with all the gusto she's had since the contest began and Gwen, determined to not fall behind, kept pace with Liv.
 
Her suit had reached its limits, very much constricting and hurting her stomach; refusing to let her suit get the better of her, she grabbed three bottles of root beer and guzzled them down as fast as possible, causing her belly to swell faster from the carbonation and making her suit finally burst open. Her belly exploded from the fabric fragments, bouncing against the stage floor and causing it to shake, Gwen let out a sigh of relief that was immediately followed by a loud gurgle.
 
"HHHHhhhhHhHhHHHhhhAAAaaaaaAAAAAaAaaAAAAaaaaaaWWWWwWWWWwwwwwWWwwwwwUUUUUuuuuUuuuuuRrrrRRRRRRPPPPPPPpppppp!!!"
 
A powerful blast of gas exploded past Gwen's lips, rumbling the stage and the ground below where all the audience stood. Everyone laughed at the power behind the formerly petite superheroine's gaseous eruption, cheering and whistling once it was over. Now, with plenty of space for her tummy to grow; she began inhaling hot dogs faster than even Liv could keep up with, quickly overtaking her in numbers and speeding even further ahead.
 
Another few minutes passed before MJ threw in the towel, her belly touching the ground like her opponents but much smaller. As she finished off her final hot dog, she raised her arms up in the shape of an X, signalling her surrender as she let out a very large bellowing belch. "Looks like Mary Jane can't quite keep up," stated the announcer as she went over to help her stand up and make her way backstage, "let's all give that red headed warrioress a round of applause!"
 
As MJ waddled off stage, the two remaining contestants continued on, the contest still raging as fiercely as before. After another couple minutes, Liv began to slow down more and more while Gwen seemed to only get faster and faster. "How much can this little shit eat?" thought Liv as she glared at her opponent while stuffing another hot dog in her mouth.
 
Liv refused to eat another bite of those damn hot dogs, slapping her belly with both hands to release a thunderous "EEEEeeeeEEEUUUUUuuUuUUUuuRRRRRRppppPppPpp!!!!!" before making an X with her arms, just as MJ did to show her surrender. "Looks like the seemingly bottomless Liv has reached her limit so the winner is SPIDER-GWEN!", the announcer declared, gesturing towards Gwen who raised her hands up in victory.
 
Just as Gwen was about to get up to accept her prize money, there was a bright flash of light that engulfed everyone, from Gwen herself to all the audience. As the light faded, Gwen looked around and noticed there was nothing but white as far as the eye could see; all the members of the audience noticed the same thing, people murmuring amongst themselves and a few people panicking.
 
Before she had any time to get her bearings, she noticed a familiar metal tentacle shoot forth and grabbing three people. Turning to face the source, she saw Liv bringing the tentacle back, unhinging her jaw and swallowing those three people whole, belching as they landed in their fleshy, half-digested hot dog filled prison.
 
"Welcome to my pocket dimension Spider-Gwen," said Liv, using the tentacles to dress her in her signature Doc Ock outfit, "Now the true contest begins."
