Tulip & Velour 1

“W-what!?”
>You stare at the piece of paper in disbelief while Peachy pats your back
>”It’s ok Tulip, it’s just a piece of paper...”
>You look at the paper that says popularity poll, listing all the fillies in the class from most popular to least popular
>And you’re the second last one on it, and the last place belongs to the classroom hamster!
>It’s technically a girl
>As you stare at it, your brain trying to figure out just how this could happen, a familiar voice speaks up from behind you
>”Oh my, if it isn’t miss ugly messy mane”
>You turn your head and find number 2 on the list, Scratchy Velour, gloating behind you with a smug grin on her silvery freckled face
“Ugh, Scrappy Velour...”
>Her eye twitches as she tries to keep her composure, brushing some of her long silvery mane away
>”It’s not Scrappy its Scratchy!”
>You eye the dark blue coated filly, her coat like velvety velour and her face as dumb as always
“Yeah and my mane is not messy or ugly, it’s got natural beauty”
>You run your hoof through your mane and give it a flick
>”Psssh, just like a scarecrow is handsome*
>The two random bat fillies next to her giggle as she takes her leave
>”Let’s go, you should too Peach Screech before her unpopularity rubs off on you”
>Peachy does not join them, of course she would not, and looks at you with worry while you scrunch your snout
>Peach Screech herself came in second, which is no surprise, but shouldn’t you, the one who shaped her cuteness out of her shell be ways above her?
>And Scratchy Velour came in first, her two friends, or lackeys, third and fourth,
>You fume by yourself with peachy trying to calm you down when two of the young colts of your class approach the two of you
>Two that you know very well, the other one of them being the colt that liked to slap Midnight Delight’s butt a lot for fun in the orphanage, and the other one who got a major boner for Daylily after she kissed his booboo when he took a fall
>You’ve gotten to calling them Pervy and Blushy
>Pervy one is the first to start talking
>”What’s gotten you two in a catfight again? I can prepare a kiddie full of mud for the two of you if you want to fight it out”
>Peachy seems confused
>”Why would the fight in a kiddie pool full of mud?”
>Pervy smirks while Blushy rolls his eyes
>”How else would they do naked mud wrestling?”
>Peachy is even further confused
>”I don’t get it...”
>Pervy shakes hi head
>”It’s a guy thing, but I’m sure your friend knows why that would be great”
>You shrug and sigh, and as you do so Blushy takes notice of the piece of paper
>”Hey that’s the list!”
>Pervy’s face turns serious
>”Wait how did you get your hooves on our secret list?”
>You roll your eyes
”Every filly’s seen it already, all it took was a little eyelid fluttering and sweet talking to get it”
>Pervy tilts his head in confusion
>”But how is that any different what you usually do?”
>You grumble
“It was Scrappy who did it”
>Pervy seems no longer to be confused
>”So that’s why, I wouldn’t mind having been the one she’d been milking for information”
>You scrunch even further, so it’s not great at all if you do it?
>Of course you completely forget that you only do it at times when it is profitable for yourself and most of the colts have gotten used to it and disregard you acting sweat and cutesy because of it, mostly due to trying to sweet-talk them out of their snack a bunch of times
“What’s so good about her anyway? She’s a total brat and a bitch”
>Suddenly you hear a gasp, seems like Velour came back and you did not notice
>”How dare you, you nympho lesbian!”
>She butts her forehead against yours and the two of you start trying to push each other back
“Shut up you just act innocent, I bet you’re an even bigger perv!”
>Velour looks offended and blushes very hard
>”No I am not, why would somepony of my standing have anything to do with stuff like that?
>Blushy sighs and Pervy shakes his head before talking
>”If only a few fillies in our class would keep their traps shut a little bit more...”
>Blushy nods in agreement
>”Not like all of us even voted, and there were about three different versions of that list depending who you asked...”
>But neither of you hears any of this because you are both too caught up in having an argument, which has now gone past verbal assaults to angrily eeeeee-ing at each other while butting your heads together
>Peachy is trying to get between the two of you, awkwardly, to break it up
>”T-tulip come on, Velour please stop, d-don’t fight you two...”
>After a while the fight ends in a draw, Velour leaving huffily to be somewhere else, and you doing the same, both of your little groups ending up in opposite sides of the classroom
>”You know...”
>You turn your head in the direction of Pervy
>”If you want to lift yourself up, how about doing...pole dancing?”
>You freeze, that’s the very adult like dancing you know a little of...yes, it could work...
>You’re so deep in thought that you don’t notice Blushy asking Pervy why he suggested that, to which he answers that he just wants to see some pole dancing, not really caring who’s the one doing it
>Yes, you’ve been trying to impress these little kiddies with your adult knowledge, but maybe you have not been adult enough! If lewd does not work go lewder!
“Great idea!”
>Pervy grins while Blushy facehoofs and Peachy’s wings pomf open
>”Tulip...maybe you should not”
>You grab your friend and pull her closer to you as she lets out a meep, whispering to her so that nopony can hear you
”We are going to show that huffy filly and lift my ranks up all in one stroke Peachy, you’re going to help me right?”
>Peachy seems unsure
>”Tulip, don’t you think that it’s a silly idea?”
>You give her the best pleading face you can muster
“P-pretty please?”
>Peachy scrunches and agrees to help you, making you give her a big hug that makes her blush and scrunch harder, and unnoticed to you Velour crunch as well as she notices you hugging Peachy
>But then Midnight Delight returns, signaling the end of the lunch break and the class slowly gets back to their seats
>Sitting right next to Scratchy Velvet
>Most of the class goes by without any trouble, but then stuff happens, Velvet blows a raspberry at you for getting a question right that you got wrong, you throwing a small piece of rubber at her, her throwing a bigger one, the two of you starting to swat your hooves at one another while silently hissing as Midnight Delight has her back turned
>And of course Pervy dropping his pencil a few times and Midnight lifting it up for him, mooning in his general direction every time while Blushy is trying to get him to stop before he gets caught
>As the two of you ate trying to grab each others mane to pull on you loose balance on your chair and fall towards Scratchy Velour and the two of you tumble down
>As the dust clears you find out just why it felt like your mouth was smushed against something
>You and Velour find each other in the middle of exchanging a kiss of sorts, your mouths pressed together
 >Peachy covers her eyes with an embarrassed squee, Velour’s two friends let out a shriek of horror, a few random colts do cat calls and whistles, Pervy included, Blushy is just blushing and Midnight Delight gasps
>”Tulip, Scratchy Velour, what is this?”
>You climb up and off of the filly as she trembles, face beet red and her body trembling
>And then she quickly spits and starts to wipe her mouth
>”EWWW! Tulip kissed me!”
“I did not! I wouldn’t kiss you in a million years!”
>”Of course you would not, such a scrappy looking filly would never get to kiss lips as luxurious as mine!”
“Did not feel like anything special to me”
>”W-what how dare you! You, you...perverted brat who knows what special lips feel like!”
>There’s suddenly the sound of a pointer stick snapping in half, that makes the two of you stop and slowly turn to look in the direction of Midnight Delight, holding her pointer now in two pieces, smiling ominously
>”I don’t need to tell you two how much detention the two of you are in, right?”
>Both you and Velour shake their heads quickly, scrunching
>The rest of the day was rather uneventful, and soon enough it was the time for detention, where the two of you are now sitting in, both refusing to look in the direction of the other
>”...You’re always doing things like this”
>You turn your head to look in the direction of the filly who you were pretty sure would not talk to you at all during this detention
>”Always screwing around, making me look bad, even back when most of us were orphans”
>You slouch over your desk
“Yeah well you started it, besides why should I worry about how you look”
>Scratchy Velour rolls her eyes
>”Ponies know or will find out that we came from the same place, and I don’t want to be thought that I too am like...that”
>She points at you when she says “that”
“Oh yeah, well I am rather liked”
>”Only because you do indecent things, I’m liked because of how good and proper I am, and not some rascal”
>You puff up your cheeks in annoyance
“I know you’re pervy too, what about that time when I found you in the orphanage bathroom playing with your-“
>Velour covers your mouth with her hooves, hissing at you
>”Don’t mention anything about that! Besides it’s your fault!”
>You pry her hooves off of your mouth and tilt your head to the side
“My fault? How can it be my fault you decided to-”
 >Scratchy Velour blushes crimson and her voice grows unusually faint
>”I saw you doing it and you were looking like you enjoyed it so much...of course that would make me want to try to do it!”
>She covers her face into her hooves
>”It was so embarrassing when I got caught by Midnight Delight and got that talk! I never want to be embarrassed like that again!”
“Not my fault you didn’t lock the door when doing that”
>”How was I even supposed to know that it was such a shameful act that I was doing!? Hmph, no wonder you’re so unpopular little miss indecent, I bet you just sweet-talked to all those colts so that they’d vote you higher, you...you slut!”
“I was just trying to get their desserts!”
>”Like I believe you”
“Buttface”
>”Classy.”
>And after blowing a raspberry at each other the silence returns, until you break it
“Well I am going to do something amazing and then I’ll be the most popular filly in the whole class!”
>Scratchy Velour runs her hoof through her mane
>”Like I have to worry about somepony like you”
>With a hmph both of you once again return to not looking in each others direction until Midnight Delight came back and let you out of detention
>After it was just the two of us you asked her if your other mommy came back home already, to which she told you no, but that Daylily was seen in the company of those three stallions, after which Midnight muttered how she’ll give Daylily a piece of her mind if she’s gotten herself mixed up in something silly again
>But she did not go to sleep when she usually would and stayed up pretty late as you could hear sounds of stuff happening in the house even when you drifted off to sleep as the sun rose up


>You spin around, your thighs hugging the pole that is for some weird reason located in the classroom before leaning back by arching your back, and blowing a kiss at the so called audience, which is just Pervy colt and Peachy
>the three of you sneaked in after school this night, easy thanks to mommy being the teacher
“How was it?”
>You can already guess that you did well judging by how Peachy is having a hard time looking directly at you, blushing behind her hooves with a scrunch on your face, and with Pervy smiling very widely
>You slide down the pole to get down before using your wings to somersault off of it
>”That was great, absolutely amazing Tulip, they don’t call you the classroom lewdie for nothing”
>You pause
“They call me what?”
>You are a bit proud, yet a bit worried
>”Don’t you think that is a bit...too indecent?”
>Pervy turns to face Peachy
>”It’s properly indecent, she could even do that outside of the school and get the whole town to root for her I reckon”
>You gasp
“That’s a great idea!”
>Peachy looks really worried now
>”You probably shouldn’t do that...”
“But Peachy, if I don’t all this practice goes to waste...and you saw that I could pull it off well, it was good right”
>Pervy nods
>”It was good for me all right”
>Peachy starts to fidget around on her chair
>”B-but...”
>Pervy glances at her for a brief moment before sighing
>”You know, maybe toning it down is the safer bet”
>You tilt your head to the side
“How so?”
>”Some adults might end up thinking you’re a really gross filly if they see you trying to woo them in such an adult way, so you could use the fact that you are a filly and fillies are really, really cute to adults to your advantage and make the dance more cutesy and less erotic”
>Peachy seems thankful of Pervy as you ponder this new option for a brief second and nod with a toothy grin on your face
“That sounds good, and if we make the dancing not that lewd Peachy can dance with me, and all we need to do is wear erotic outfits! Then we won’t even get into so much trouble because we’re just wearing costumes!”
>Pervy nods and Peachy gasps, looking a bit horrified
>”I’m g-going to dance with you? In front of other ponies?”
>You make your way over to Peachy and give her a hug
“Come on, I know you can do it, and I’ll be there with you”
>Pervy keeps watching while smiling happily at the two fillies hugging, you probably know why
>She scrunches again
“Pretty please? For me?”
>Scrunch deepens
“...ok...”
>You eeee happily and nuzzle your friend, making her let out an embarrassed yelp
>”I’ll figure out the dance, you two can focus on the outfits”
>You nod
“Thanks Pervy, why are you being so nice anyway?”
>Pervy raises an eyebrow at his nickname
>”Hey now you do know I have a proper name right? Well I just figured it’d be fun to watch, who knows, maybe it’ll be so much fun all the other fillies in the class join in on the dancing”
>You and Peachy both chuckle
“That would be kinda cool”
>”Sounds silly”
>And just as the two of you said that, a single filly enters the classroom
>Except it’s Scratchy Velour
>”Are you REALLY thinking of dancing with HER?”
>She points at you, directing the question to Peachy who seems surprised as Velour continues
>”You know, you don‘t have to say yes to everything she tells you to do, and I could talk to the other fillies if you’re worried you already have a bad reputation when hanging around with her”
>She points at you once again and you glare at her while Peachy fidgets in her seat, troubled as she answers her
>”I don’t mind, really...and I want to help my friend”
>Velour does not look too pleased and you hug Peachy while blowing a raspberry at Velour
>She scrunches and turns her head away from the two of you with a “hmph”
>”Fine, then be that little lesbian’s cuddle toy”
“Hey she’s much more than just that”
>”T-tulip!”
>Peachy blushes and Velour makes a gagging face
>”That’s gross”
>Pervy is looking like he’s having a very wild time inside of his head, fantasizing about various cuddling activities between two fillies
“You’re just jealous because nopony cuddles you”
>Velour seems offended by this
>”I could get anypony to cuddle me”
“Not me”
>”Who’d want to be cuddled by you?”
“Peachy”
>She fumes and takes her leave as you make a face at her
>Pervy gets up and takes his leave as well, saying something about having his fill, and with that you are left alone with Peachy
>You are still thinking about some possible dance moves when Peachy approaches you
>”Is your mom still missing?”
>You sigh and nod
“Yeah...I’m not worried, she’s super strong, I mean my cutie mark is a nutcracker but a crotch kick from me is like a gentle love tap compared to her ball stomp of devastation”
>”Midnight Delight was a bit out of it today...”
“She’s been that way at home too”
>”I hope your mom is ok”
>You give Peachy a big smile
“I’m sure she is, come on let’s try this dance move”
>But even if you do say that you manage to screw up the simple move twice before succeeding
>Peachy is still pretty uncomfortable with all of it, but she still does not want to stop trying...you are unsure if it’s because she wants to be nice to you because your mom’s gone MIA or if it is just because she wants to help you, but you end up glomping onto her and giving her a big hug and a nuzzle
>”Excuse me”
>You look up from the floor where you’re currently hugging your embarrassed and very red friend and find one of those fillies that always hangs around with Velour peeking into the classroom
>”Did you say dancing?”
>You get off of Peachy and she gets up, dusting herself off with her wings
“Yeah, we’re thinking about doing some dancing”
>Suddenly it seems like Peachy noticed or remembered something, her wings quickly flying open
>”You’re that filly who likes dancing”
>The filly looks away, seemingly troubled
>”No I...just forget it”
>And with that she’s gone, leaving you staring at the door in confusion
“What was that all about?”
>Peachy leans her muzzle closer to your ear
>”I think she might have wanted to dance too”
>You look at Peachy in confusion
“But she’s Velour’s friend, why would she want to do that?”
>Peachy looks like she’s pondering about something for a brief moment before answering you
>”Maybe that is why she did not ask about it any more”
>You start to feel annoyed and act rather prissy, doing something very Velour-y as you hmph audibly
“She should just have joined in if she wanted to”
>Peachy just laughs nervously
>”Why is Scratchy Velour so angry at you Tulip?”
>You are about to say something minus the details, but then you remember how annoyed at her you are so you decide to spill the beans
“I caught her clopping in the bathroom back at the orphanage”
>Peachy’s eyes go wide and she blushes
>”S-she was doing that, there?”
>You nod
“Yeah, weren’t you? I did it too, everypony did it right?”
>Peachy scrunches and covers her eyes while blushing
>”N-no I don’t think that’s normal Tulip!”
>You make a confused face
“Isn’t it less normal to not have done it?”
>Peachy’s scrunch just deepens
>”I d-don’t think it really is...but are you sure that’s all?”
“What do you mean?”
>”It just feels like there’s something else in there...I’m not really sure...”
>You think about it deeply for a moment before shrugging your shoulders and wings
“You’re just imagining it, she’s just a mean buttface”
>Tulip looks unsure as the two of you exit the classroom
>”If you say so...”
>Suddenly you two almost collide with Blushy who seems to be just outside the classroom, spooking him in the process
>You help Peachy up who fell down as she jumped back, and Blushy lands back down
>”Oh geez, you two scared me!”
>You look at the young colt
“What were you doing out here?”
>He suddenly blushes, big surprise, and looks extremely awkward
>”N-nothing, oh look at the time, got to go!”
>And flies off at a rapid speed
>You and Peachy both look confused
“What was that all about?”
>”I don’t know...”
>The two of you decide to leave and go to your homes for now, completely oblivious to the hiding Velour who’s scrunching really hard with an upset look on her face


>”Tulip...I’m not so sure about these clothes...”
>You look at your blushing friend Peachy who is now wearing a rather interesting outfit of black leather socks, corset and a biker cap
>You wave it off with your hoof
“Peachy they’re fine, stop worrying”
>You pull up another one of your socks as you sit on the pavement, before attaching your garter belt to it
>And you also find Peachy looking at you getting dressed as you put on your lacy choker
“Do you like what you see?”
>You wink at Peachy, making her wings pomf open
>”T-tulip!”
>You chuckle as your friend scrunches her mouth and mumbles something embarrassedly
“All done except for the final cherry on top, Peachy help me with this”
>You hand her a lacy bow and turn around before lifting your tail upwards in an arch, exposing your dock
>Peachy squeaks out something while looking like she might faint at any moment
“Tie that bow around my tail dock please”
>She does so, rather shakily, and with that you’re good to go
“Coem on Peachy let’s go!”
>Peachy stops you by grabbing onto your coat
>”Tulip...a-are you sure? Dancing out here, in public, with these costumes...”
>You nod
“We’ve come this far, might as well go through with it, isn’t that right?”
>You look at the other filly, one of the ones who hangs around Scrachy Velour, who wanted to join you two in dancing, and at Pervy and Blushy
>She’s wearing a simple pair of white lace panties and something that looks like a wedding veil on her head
>”I’m just trying this one time...it’s not like I have any interest in stuff like this...even if this veil is so pretty...”
>Blushy fidgets about, blushing
>”Tulip have you heard any news of your mom? I’m really worried about her...”
>Your ears lay flat for a brief moment
“No...but I’m sure she’s fine, she’s strong...I’ll worry about it after this dance”
>Truth is that you are actually pretty worried and miss her, and Midnight’s being a mess about it...so this little stunt is also a distraction from all of that, to give you something else to think about
>Pervy nods, still grinning in that same grin he’s had on his face ever since you pulled up your box of clothing and accessories and started to put them on
>”Let’s do it, I’ve got the boom box ready, we’re at the place and dressed up, it’s go time!”
>He pushes a button on the boom box and music, high pitched and fast paced starts to play as you jump out of the bush and onto the streets with Peachy and Velour’s friend in tow
>Bat ponies carrying on with their day stop and turn their heads towards the commotion as the three of you start to move
>And then the three of you dance normally like fillies would, innocently and giggling
>It’s all a part of the strategy Pervy came up with, if adults see little fillies being indecent they’re going to make them stop
>That’s why you start off innocently, just a random filly who got into her mommies special wardrobe and not really knowing how indecent they are, and crank up the lewdness step by step slowly until you can really bust your moves and then they’ll all see who’s only as popular as some dumb hamster!
>And there is another part to this master plan, to gather up more numbers
>The more join, the harder it’ll be to stop it right away, since you’re pretty sure it’s going to be stopped by somepony at some point anyway
>The adults and some younger ponies keep looking on as you and the other two dance about in the middle of the streets, illuminated by a gothic antique-looking lamp post
>Some of them just carry on, some stay to watch but most of them are smiling and pointing at the three of you, commenting how adorable it is that three little fillies are doing a little dance show
>And already it pays off as two fillies walking together approach the three of you and ask what is going on
>Velour’s friend tells them that they can join in and if they want costumes there’s some in the box
>They go to the box and find themselves socks to wear, matching each others manes, the one with the pink mane wearing light blue striped socks, and the one with the same color of a mane as the socks on the pink one wears matching pink striped socks on her hooves
>The two join in, happily dancing around, it’s a very simple dance after all, in the hopes of getting more and more to join
>You crank it up and signal the other two to do the same, and Peachy scrunches but joins, and Velour’s friend refuses to and keeps dancing normally with the other two fillies
>Which does not bother you at all since you should be in the spotlight, it’s your ratings that you are trying to lift up
>Still, even if it does not show on your face you do feel just a teeny tiny hint nervous doing this in front of a crown
>Another filly joins, one wearing a skirt or a dress and carrying a flower pot around for some reason, maybe she likes flowers?
>Nopony is the wiser as you dance a bit more lewdly now as another on looking filly takes a few steps forward, a wingless one
>You point at the box and after thinking about it a little she too rushes to it and soon joins the dancing with a simple studded collar around her neck, but instead matching you and Peachy in movement, which is cool
>Another filly goes to the box, seemingly after exchanging a few words with what appears to be her coltfriend, and puts on panties that match her light blue coat very well as she dances on, using a routine completely of her own and what you suspect is mostly for making that colt that was around her feel embarrassed
>Pervy and Blushy keep the music going as this little group of fillies keeps dancing, now some of the ponies in the crowd raising an eyebrow and a few blushing just a hint
>”Well well well”
>You pause your dance at a familiar voice, Scratchy Velour has made her way to you
>”I’m surprised you even managed to get dressed with a messy mane and tail like that.”
>She notices one of her friends dancing and scrunches at her, her friend blushing and squeaking
“See, even your friend realized how fun this is!”
>She scoffs at you
>”Fun? This mediocre little show in these horrible outfits, you look like a common slut”
>You huff at her while resuming your dancing
“Better show that you could ever put on”
>She’s about to say something, but then looks around
>All the fillies and a few more who joined in hare now all pretty much dancing in whatever way they see fit, Peachy having stopped mimicking you and dancing a bit more reservedly as well, one filly even dancing straight out more lewdly than you had at any point
>They’re all giggling happily and having fun, Velour’s friend having abandoned her naughty costume now and simply doing some ballet here and there
>”We’ll see about that!”
>You actually stop dancing and stare with wide eyes as Velour goes to the box, Velour out of all fillies!
>She digs up what you are wearing, the same exact costume, minus the garter belt, choker and down bow and quickly puts it on before coming up right next to you and dancing the dance you were supposed to dance!
>”I saw your rehearsal, what a simple dance”
>You scrunch and start to dance the same dance too, the two of you soon enough dancing against one another in some kind of a dirty dance competition making Peachy blush...wait that’s not an achievement at all...making most of the stallions in the crowd blush and the mares beginning to chat with one another, wondering if you two should be stopped
>Pervy and Blushy have also crawled out of the hiding place and watch, the boom box no longer needing any operating as it is nearing the last few songs
>Pervy approaches the two of you, coming closer for a better look perhaps
>This for some reason makes Velour more motivated, and she was not supposed to be indecent at all...you’re going to tease her about this a lot!
>no wait...it’s not Velour Blushy is looking at but you!
>You smirk and move onto to the final stage, now explicitly dancing lewdly
>Velour does it too but Blushy just keeps looking at you, ha you won! You’re more appealing than her!
>Velour seems to get upset and stops dancing before grumpily making her way to the box and discarding her costume in it before flying off
>The crowd is in commotion as other fillies start to follow your example, some of the fillies deciding this is a good time to leave and disappearing into the crowd after removing whatever accessories they had borrowed
>The filly who was in the company of her coltfriend seems to have disappeared somewhere with said pony
>Why does Blushy look like that instead of watching he wants to ask you something? Probably something about your mom again...he asks a lot about her, how weird...
>You suddenly notice that Scratchy Velour has come back, with a few guards, pointing at all of the fillies dancing
>That tattle-tale! But thankfully the crowd is so dense they are having a hard time pushing through it
>The final song comes on and deciding to go out with a bang you grab Peachy and get over to the lamp post and start to use it to dance in a rather indecent manner
>Still as far as pole dancing goes it’s not that explicit in general, even if you might think that way, and the two of you are not even kissing so you don’t really understand what the fuss is all about
>Suddenly you lock eyes with a pony in the crowd and all the color drains from your face as you freeze
>It’s Daylily, and she does not look too happy!
>Suddenly the guards manage to break free and all the little fillies and young colts start to run away in random direction, screeee-ing and eee-ing left and right
>Daylily suddenly lands before you and peachy, and looks at you like you’re going to get a butt whooping, before grabbing you and Peachy and diving off to an old trap door to one of the dead end tunnels of the Thieve’s Guild
>Soon enough she plants you and Peachy to the grounds, both of you letting out a squeak as your butts hit the cold stone floor, and looks at the two of you with her brows furrowed
>”What is all this?”
>Her voice sounds rather icy so you give her the best smile you can manage
“Hi mom, where were you, I missed you!”


>Ugghhh...detention is so boring!
>You are Tulip the cute little filly, and you are stuck in detention out of all places! Turns out that after the initial happiness of Daylily coming back home Midnight Delight was rather grumpy about your little stun
>You can’t understand how you are the one who got stuck in detention after all and not all the little fillies and colts in your class! What does she even mean with ringleader?
>”This is all your fault”
>You look to your left where you find the only other filly in detention with you, Scratchy Velour
>Her parents insisted
“Nopony told you to go all the way like I did”
>Scratchy Velours huffs and puffs her cheeks
>”I had to because he was so enticed by...”
>Her voice trials off
“Huh?”
>”Nothing!”
>Not before long Midnight came and let you two out of detention and as the two of you were walking out of the door, pushing each other because it became a little competition who was the first one out, the two of you found a surprising pony in wait outside the school, Blushy the blushing colt
>”Oh, you got out!”
>Velour seems surprised
>”Y-you waited for m-“
>Blushy rushes to you, making Velour stop mid sentence and stare at the two of you with a burning rage in her eyes
>”Tulip I wanted to talk with you so much!”
>You’re just confused
“Me? Why would-“
>Suddenly Velour grabs Blushy by the tail and pulls him to herself
>”Why is it always her!?”
>Blushy seems more than a bit intimidated by her, judging by how his ears folded back
>”H-her? What do you-“
>Velour continues her outburst, her tail swishing about and wings open
>”Every night it’s just her her her and her, Tulip this Tulip that always Tulip! What about me!?”
>Bushy is utterly confused and even more frightened now, shielding his body with his wings
>”H-huh?”
>but you on the other hoof, you’re looking like something is dawning upon you, your eyes growing wider and wider by the second
>Could Velour...
>But before you can finish that train of thought Velour confirms your suspicion
>”I like you for Pete’s sake! How hard is it for you to notice it and notice me, not her!”
>Velour points at you, but then suddenly goes wide eyed as her face turns crimson
>You’re holding your hooves in front of your mouth, stuck in a silent gasp
>Scratchy Velour likes Blushy! Wait is that why she’s such a butt to you because that’s really dumb...
>Blushy suddenly seems less frightened
>”Oh...I don’t like her, you know, like that”
>He turns to face you now
>”She’s a good friend and I like her a lot as one but I don’t like her like that”
>Velour looks like she’s about ready to just dig herself a hole and hide in it
>”T-then why are you always paying so much attention to her?”
>Blushy blushes as he faces towards Velour again
>”Because I like her mom”
>Your head whips to stare at him as Velour’s right eye twitches a few times
>”What?”
>Blushy continues, the look on his face growing more and more coy, and at the same time kind of gross
>”Yeah her mom Daylily, she’s like the nicest and prettiest mare ever, and she even kissed my knee once when I scraped it, and she’s so awesome and every time I see her I feel all tingly in my tummy, and I really needed to know she’s ok because I heard she came back and...”
>Blushy keeps talking as Velour and you stare at him, Velour’s expression shocked and your s the same, but not as extreme
>Suddenly Velour just slowly walks past Blushy who’s still too busy talking to notice, her eye twitching and her mouth hanging open as she slowly trots towards her home
>You watch her go while not really paying any attention to the stuff Blushy is saying until he suddenly gasps
>”Wait Scratchy Velour likes me!?”
>You go over to the now shocked colt and pat his shoulder
“I think it might be too late for that”
>Blushy just mumbles something as he rushes home while looking as red as a little fire truck, if fire trucks had hooves instead of wheels
>With nothing to do anymore you simply go home, and pretend that did not happen
>...which turned out ok except until the first recess the next night, when Blushy called out Velour
>Who had been rather unenergetic during the first lesson
>”So after a lot of thought I really would like to be your coltfriend!”
>Velour just looks at Blushy with a deadpan expression on her face
>”No.”
>Blushy almost falls over
>”W-what? Why? last night you-“
>Velour sighs and slowly walks past Blushy while speaking
>”After hearing you talk last night I just stopped liking you, I don’t even know why I liked you in the first place”
>Blushy seems devastated as Velour just walks past him, completely indifferent to him
>Pervy and a few other little ponies comment on how much that must have figuratively twisted Blushy’s imaginary nutsack
“Oh wow...”
>Peachy tugs at your wing
>”A-are you sure she liked him? It does not look that way...”
>You had told Peachy of what you saw and she was very surprised, probably even thought you were making it up!
>Velour seems to have heard the two of you as she has stopped and is staring towards you and Peachy
>Peachy lets out a silent “eep” and hides behind you, making Scratchy Velour sigh and roll her eyes
>”What?”
>You look at her with a raised eyebrow and one of your ears folded to the side
“Are you sure, I mean you did sound very desperate last ni-“
>Velour interrupts you with an angry blush on her face
>”I was not desperate!”
>You give her the really nigga?-face and Velour just mumbles grumpily under her breath
>”Just come with me!”
>You’re completely taken by surprise as Velour grabs your hoof and drags you off to somewhere, which turns out to be one of the cleaning/utility closets, big enough to be a very small room
“Uhh...why are we here?”
>Velour points at a small stool
>”Sit.”
>You do as you’re told, completely overwhelmed by how Velour is acting
>She pulls out a brush and grabs some of your mane into her hooves
>”This mess is always bothering me, I’m going to do something about it”
>You just sit there as Scratchy Velour begins to straighten and brush your mane, yoru mind processing this while questioning if it is really happening
>”You did not tell everypony did you?”
“Huh?”
>”About my...you know... liking him and stuff...”
“Nah, just Peachy”
>Velour nods
>”Good, don’t you dare say anything to anypony...my first love turning out to be such a...a...motherlover! And your mom none the less!”
>Velour scrunches her mouth
>”At least it’s not you like I thought it was...how can you even live with a mane like this, and this tail?”
>Velour takes your tail into her hoof and examines it
“If you’re going to be doing some touching, so am I”
>You place your hoof against her coat and start to brush it up and down, making Velour first stare at your hoof, then at you, confusion on her face
“I always wanted to know what this shiny coat would feel like...you might not be a pretty filly but it looks really nice”
>Velour just rolls her eyes
>”I’m not going to compliment your mane or tail in return, there’s nothing special about them”
>Now you look grumpy and scrunch at Velour
>”I still don’t like you...and stop touching me up you dyke”
>Velour swats your hooves away
“Hey you started it, you’re the dyke here!”
>You both snarl and hiss at each other for a short moment, before you relax tilt your head to the side in confusion while Velour grabs your tail again for brushing, struggling to undo the mess it naturally is in
“Why? It wasn’t that thing with Blushy that made you dislike me?”
>Velour pauses her brushing before resuming it
>”...Peachy?”
>You raise an eyebrow
“What about Peachy?”
>”You ruined her”
“...Wha?”
>She stops brushing and looks at you
>”I was going to befriend her and fix her up into another friend, but then you latched your hooves on her and made her gross”
“What do you mean gross?”
>”I’ve seen how the two of you are together, all...touchy and giggly and I bet you two do so much indecencies together, it’s disgusting!”
>You glare at Velour
“It’s not disgusting!”
>She just scoffs at you
>”I thought she’d be such a good friend and you just snatched her up and corrupted her with your vile dyke tendencies”
>The two of you begin to hiss at one another and you once again place your hooves on her coat to irk her
>She yanks your tail and you almost fall off of the chair, so you grab her coat with your hooves
>And just then the door opens and somepony shouts out something
>”I found them Miss Midnight, they’re in the closet touching each other!”
>The two of you let go of one another and start to get red faced simultaneously as the random young pony rushes away and Midnight Delight peeks in, her eyes rather cold
>”You two care to explain what you were doing?”
>Suddenly a few other ponies peek in, Pervy grinning like a madstallion, Peachy blushing and looking at the two of you with a scrunch on her mouth, Blushy has fainted in the background and Velour’s two friends are shocked and appalled
>”We weren’t-“
“I did not-“
>Midnight Delight cuts you both off
>”You two sound very guilty right now, and even if I would not normally suspect Scratchy Velour, after joining you in on that stunt...”
>You mutter out a “What about me and my innocence” which Midnight Delight ignores as she keeps talking
>”I don’t mind you two getting along, finally, but please don’t use the cleaning closet for such activities”
>A few young colts do a few catcalls at the two of you as you step out with Velour in the lead and you following, and most fillies are glancing towards the two of you, whispering to one another and giggling as Midnight retreats back into the classroom to prepare for the next lesson
>Velour turns around and looks at you, eyes glaring, mouth in a scrunch and her face red with an angry blush as she hisses at you
>”This is your fault!”
>And she flies away quickly
>You go over to Peachy who’s still scrunching
“We weren’t doing anything...”
>”I’m not judging...”
“Peachy!”
>She lets out a little eep and starts to chatter on about how it’s good that the two of you are getting along, and how doing stuff like that is not bad and something about love and hate and just making the misunderstanding worse as Pervy pats your back and congratulates you on melting the ice queen’s heart
>You just stand there, mouth scrunching hard and letting out a muffled screeeeeee silently
