"Excuse me princess, something wrong?"  A heated, heavy breathing Alexis remarked to the girl across from her.  "You shouldn't stare you know, it's rude!"

Snapping out of her daze with those words, Sara lifted her head up looking straight at the other lady.  "I'm…I'm Sara, um… you know they never have anything good to read in these waiting lobbies."  With a slight soft murmur. "I also didn't think it was that hard to sit down either."

Alexis sat there, now composed as she finally caught her breath.  "I'm Alexis, it's nice to meet you.  I missed my appointment the other day, figured I'd reschedule before I hit the gym."

"Ah… yeah, the gym it's nice to get your exercise here and there."  Sara spoke softly looking towards the floor, then to Alexis smirking.  "It's good for you."

Quiet the entire time, the receptionist stood up to get the girls attention.  "Excuse me, ladies.  The doctors will see you now.  Sara you can go to room one down the hall on the left and Alexis you are room two on the right side."

"Finally" gasped Sara.  Standing and walking past the receptionist, Sara softly joked.  "If I was waiting any longer, that girl might have rubbed off on me."

Meanwhile, Alexis found herself stuck in her chair.  Yelling and bitching about her situation, she managed to get the receptionists attention.  Together, the two managed to uproot Alexis up  from her seat.  Adjusting herself, a complaining Alexis then went back the hallway to the second room.  The routine check ups then began for the two girls.  The main topics were past and current eating habits and just covering the basics like body type, height, weight, along with a few other tests.

"Well Alexis, your 23, weigh in at 237 lbs, and a height of 5'6".  Your blood pressure and everything else checks out at perfectly healthy values so not too much to worry about other than being overweight.  Your records show this is normal throughout your family.  However, with an inactive lifestyle and such a low metabolism like yours, it'll be hard to not gain weight in the increasing years.  Has the exercise routine we've provided been helping? "

"It has somewhat.  It's hard but I only gain a pound or two a week now.  I've always been a big eater, it's in my system."  Alexis gazed to the floor and back up.  "Well, I'm healthy so that's good."  With that, Alexis waddled out of the room, smiling as she went towards the front desk.

Meanwhile, the doctor had finished up with Sara and was letting her know the outcome.

"Ah Sara, spending money on designer clothes again aren't we?  That denim jacket looks lovely on you."  The doctor stood there smiling, looking Sara up and down.  "Well, at 23 your in perfect health.   You weigh in just shy of 120 lbs and your at a height of 5'6".  The records show very little activity on your part through the years and yet you stay almost the same.  It's pretty surprising especially with your eating habits."

Sara, smiling and exiting.  "What can I say doc, I have a high metabolism and can still have all the goodies I want without gaining any weight.  It's the perfect life."

At the front desk window, Alexis stood there waiting, her thick arm leaning on the ledge.  In her other had was a small light up figurine with which she was playing with.  Sarcastically, Sara approached and stood on the other side facing Alexis, resting her arm on the ledge as well.  All the while, the receptionist is sitting at her desk typing on her computer.  She was putting the finishing touches on the two ladies forms simultaneously, with the days results.

"Okay ladies, I just have to save today's forms into our office records and you'll be all set to go.  I hope everything went well."  The receptionist faced and smiled towards the two girls.
