//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: My Little Canterlot Hostess Club // by Crystaline //------------------------------// I thought it would be interesting to combine MLP with Ouran High School. This is my first fanfiction so go easy on me. I do not own My Little Pony, Dusk Shine, or Ouran High School Host Club. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Dusk Shine.” Rarity looked up at Dusk from the open wallet. “So, you’re a colt?” “Biologically speaking, yeah.” Dusk replied casually, taking his wallet from Rarity and putting it in his bag. Rarity’s jaw dropped, she couldn’t believe it. “Listen, I don’t care whether you guys recognize me as a colt or a mare. I think it's more important for a pony to be recognized for who they are rather than for what gender they are.” “Well isn’t this an interesting development.” Trixie said from Rarity’s left. She had found out as soon as he walked in. “Oh yeah.” Applejack and Rainbow Dash replied in unison. They were standing with Fluttershy and Pinkie on Rarity’s right. “Um, you know I have to say Rarity, I thought you were pretty cool earlier.” Dusk smiled at Rarity, not noticing her growing blush. “Now the Great and Powerful Trixie could be wrong, which she doubts, but the Great and Powerful Trixie thinks we may be witnessing the beginnings of love.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rainbow, Applejack, Trixie, and Dusk Shine sat around a table planning for the upcoming ball. “I can’t take this anymore.” Rarity sat in the corner nibbling a daisy sandwich. “Hey Rarity, why don’t you stop eating that commoner’s sandwich and come over here to help us with the party planning.” Rainbow yelled over to Rarity, hoping to get through to her. “Does it really bother you that Prince Whooves has taken a liking to Dusk?” Applejack questioned Rarity. “She shouldn’t be surprised, he’s had the illness for quite some time now.” Trixie said while writing down notes. “What illness?” Dusk Shine asked Trixie. “He’s got the hostess hopping disease.” Rainbow replied for Trixie. “AKA the never the same mare twice disease.” Applejack explained. “Usually our customers choose a favorite host and see them regularly. However, Prince Whooves tends to change her favorites, on a regular basis.” Trixie went into further detail without pausing from her notes. “That’s right, cause before he was with you he was with Rarity.” Pinkie jumped up and down with glee. “Oh, so she’s just mad because I took him from her.” Dusk Shine said, understanding the reason for Rarity’s depression. Rarity quickly got up and in front of Dusk Shine. “Be Quiet! I couldn’t care less! Dusk Shine, I’m running out of patience, it’s time you started dressing like a colt!” Dusk Shine looked confused. “I don't understand how you could be so popular with the colts, when you yourself are a colt. No one in the entire school knows the truth except for those of us here.” Rarity stated with frustration. “That’s right and he opted out of taking gym classes.” Rainbow Dash cut in with agreement. “And the attendance numbers are all mixed up so no pony can even tell.” Applejack put her say in as well. “That’s enough Dusk Shine. Now you listen to mommy.”Rarity brought out a chest and opened it to reveal a photo of Dusk Shine from the year before. “MOMMY WANTS YOU TO GO BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE!” “DON’T GO THROUGH MY PHOTOS WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST!” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity sulked near a tree after she was reminded of the fact that Dusk was in the same class as Rainbow and Applejack. “Say, Daddy dear?” “What is it now, Mommy?” Trixie asked with a knowing smile. “I have a new theory. I mean it's just my hypothesis. But it seems, by being in the same class, Hikaru and Kaoru are able to spend more time with Haruhi than I get to here at the club. This gives them a chance to get close to him and if that happens,” Rarity expressed her thoughts to Trixie but was cut off. “Rarity, you just now realized that?” Rarity felt as if she was struck by lightning. “According to my research, in a single day, Applejack and Rainbow spend roughly nine hours of class time with Dusk Shine.” Trixie pulled out a graph to prove her point. “Meanwhile, your contact with him is limited to a couple of hours of club activities. In other words, your involvement in Dusk’s life each day amounts is no more than a mere 3%.” “Ahhh! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT!” Rarity shouted covering her ears with her hooves. She put them down when she was sure Trixie stopped speaking. She galloped over to Dusk and put her hooves on his shoulders. “Listen to me Dusk, I want you to stop hanging out with those shady mares from now on!” Rarity said while pointing to Applejack and Rainbow. “Who are you calling shady?” Rainbow protested. “Yeah take a good look at yourself Rarity!” Applejack agreed with Rainbow. Rarity fell away from Dusk Shine. “All right then. We can't go on hiding the fact that you're a colt from everypony in the school any longer.” Rarity placed a hoof in the air dramatically. “All mommy wants is for you to go back to being the colt you used to be, for you to surround yourself with colt friends and start leading a wholesome life.” “Who are you calling mommy?” Dusk asked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie began to wake up from the she had been taking. “She's awake. We'll have to use a substitute. We've got no choice.” Rarity placed her stuffed cat in front of Pinkie where Gummy had been. Dusk, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow were nervous. Pinkie Pie rubbed the sand out of her eyes and looked at the cat in front of her. Her hair fell limp and part of it covered her eyes. She grabbed the stuffed cat by the tail and threw it to the ground. “Ahhhh! Not my cat!” Rarity yelled. “She’s going to us what she did to those guards!” Rainbow yelled hugging Applejack. “Oh no she just spotted her alligator!” Applejack shouted in fear. Pinkie Pie picked up Gummy and saw that his mouth was dirty. “Who’s responsible for this? Who got Gummy’s face dirty?” Pinkie Pie looked over to Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, and Dusk huddling together in fear. Pinkie’s face was too terrifying to describe. “Someone, help! Fluttershy, don't let her hurt us!” The group cried out to Fluttershy for help. “He wanted tea. So Gummy decided to have a drink.” Fluttershy told Pinkie in a soft calm voice. Pinkie’s demeanor changed completely. Her hair puffed back to normal and smile was on her face. “I see. So that's why his face is all dirty, isn't it? Hey, do you think he wants some cake, too?” Fluttershy nodded while the group who had been afraid all had the same thought. ‘That’s all it took?’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dusk Shine and Braeburn crouched behind a statue outside of home room. “You have nyctophobia? So, you're afraid of the dark?” Dusk Shine asked in case he was wrong in what he just heard. Braeburn nodded his head. “Yes, and you can add to that horror-movie-phobia, scary-ghost-story-phobia, being-startled-by-a-loud-noise-in-the-other-room phobia, and accidentally-seeing-trailers-for-horror-movies phobia. And what's with those things? Why do they keep showing them without warning us about it first? It just doesn't make sense to me. Whatever happened to civil rights for the fraidy-cats out there? Cowards are people too! And what about the other classes? With their tea parties? Tain't fair!” Braeburn became louder with each sentence, causing him to shout at the end. “Braeburn, calm down!” Dusk didn’t want Braeburn to attract any attention, for Braeburn’s sake. “Sorry.” Braeburn fixed his hat that had begun to tilt with his panicking. “If you were opposed to the idea from the start, why didn't you just bring it up in the meeting?” Dusk asked. “I tried to, but I don't wanna look like I'm throwing my weight around out there. So, I was counting on your help to save me!” Braeburn began to panic again. “Please calm down.” Braeburn composed himself once more. “I'm sorry.” Dusk Shine was confused. “How exactly was I supposed to save you?” “I was desperately giving you signs to oppose the motion while it was up for vote, but you just didn't seem interested!” Braeburn explained. “If just one person objects, then it goes up for discussion.” “Uh... sorry, I had no idea.” Dusk apologized. Braeburn looked at Dusk pleadingly. “Please Dusk Shine, you have to let me be on your team!” Braeburn began to yell and his pupils shrunk. “If I'm with you, then maybe your piece of mind will help me and I can remain more calm!” “Braeburn!” Braeburn snapped out of his hysteria and looked at Dusk Shine with seriousness. “And one more thing. You can't tell Applejack and Rainbow Dash.” Braeburn whispered to Dusk Shine. “Huh? is someone a fraidy-cat?” Applejack and Rainbow whispered from between Braeburn and Dusk. ... “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Braeburn jumped towards the window and screamed. “Oh, there you are.” A voice spoke up from behind them. It was Cheerilee. “We're about to choose groups. So do you have any idea who you would like to have on your team?” Applejack and Rainbow grabbed Dusk Shine and Braeburn at the same time. “Yeah! The four of us will be one!” Cheerilee wrote down their names on her clipboard. “Great! Then you guys are Team B. All right?” Braeburn had a light blush on his cheeks. “Sounds like fun, right, Class Rep?” Applejack and Rainbow said mischievously in unison. Braeburn gasped. “This is a nightmare!” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's the end of the one shots! I'm going to post two bonus episodes next time. (Not at the same time.) I hope you enjoyed reading them! EDIT: I decided I'm not going to write more. I can't seem to find out how I can continue. Thanks for reading and sorry!
