//------------------------------// // School Life // Story: Flutter and Emerald // by markzilla6895 //------------------------------// A few days after Emerald and Flutter's first NLAC party Flutter Heart sighed softly as she gathered her belongings from her locker. Just a few days ago, she and her boyfriend Emerald had signed up for the Natural Living Appreciation Club, Canterlot High's naturist group and attended their very first party. After meeting many new friends with the same interest, Flutter was beginning to feel more comfortable with being nude in social settings. As she closed her locker, she was met with the scowling face of a girl that appeared to be a sophomore. She had blue eyes, pale violet hair with white streaks and pale magenta skin. "May I help you?" Flutter asked as she placed her bag over her shoulder. She knew full well this was Diamond Tiara, daughter of her mother's boss, and judging by the less-than-favorable comments from her fellow partygoers, she was not exactly the most well-liked person at CHS. "I heard you're one of the new kids here," Diamond Tiara replied in a snooty tone. "I've been... busy with other things to give you the official welcome." She began to approach Flutter menacingly, her sneer becoming more apparent. But before Diamond Tiara could do anything, someone else's hand grabbed her wrist. The school bully slowly turned around in fear as she saw the dark blue-skinned girl Flutter saw Emerald talking to on Friday. "S-Sapphire," Diamond started. "I didn't expect you to be around here." "Diamond," Sapphire Jewel stated bluntly. "I see you haven't given up being a bitch to everyone." She let go of Diamond's wrist, causing the rich girl to give off a glare before scurrying away. Sapphire then turned to Flutter. "You doing okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine," Flutter smiled as she straightened her bag. "You're Emerald's friend, right?" "Yeah, Sapphire Jewel," she held out her hand in greeting. Flutter shook it as the bell rang for their next class. "Want me to walk you to your next class?" "Sure," the junior nodded. As the two girls proceeded down the hallway to Flutter's class, they noticed some of the students were whispering to each other as they passed by. "You're that scary?" Flutter asked with worry. "Nah, I just have a rep of standing up to bullies harassing others. Emerald can tell you the details later." "So, um... do you know about...?" "About his lifestyle? Yeah, but I'm never gonna get into it. It's not my kind of thing. But I do respect his choices." They stopped outside the language arts classroom. Emerald and Sandymane were already waiting inside. "Have fun with my little bro," she winked before heading off to her own class. Flutter blushed slightly as she went inside and took her seat next to her two friends. "So I saw you met Sapphy out there," Emerald grinned. "She's cool, right?" "Yeah, she is," Flutter chuckled a little. "How long have you known each other?" "Ever since elementary school..." Emerald chuckled to himself. "We actually met in detention. She was there because of a chemistry class experiment exploding and she took the blame. I was there for a..." he cleared his throat before continuing. "...an out-of-clothes experience." Flutter giggled as she knew what he really meant. But before he could continue his story, the teacher walked in. She was a woman in her thirties with pale green skin, black hair that was messily held back by clips, a black top and skirt as well as black heeled boots. She wore glasses and was carrying a small stack of papers. "Good morning, class," she began. "I'm the new language arts teacher, Miss Willow Grove." She began handing the students the papers she was holding. When Flutter got hers, she saw that it was a fill-in sheet asking basic information about the student, such as name, age and interests. "This assignment will help us get to know each other better," Willow Grove explained with a soft smile on her face. Flutter took out her pencil and began filling in the blanks on the paper. Emerald on the other hand, was studying his new teacher intently. "What's up, Em?" Sandymane whispered. "I feel like I've seen her somewhere before..." he muttered as he absentmindedly filled out his paper. Soon, the bell rang, signifying the end of the school day. As the class began to file out and turned in their papers, Sandymane caught up with Flutter and Emerald. "So we going to your place after school for study group with Sunset?" The bespectacled girl asked. "I really need help with this biology homework." "Sure, it's our first study group with her anyway," Flutter smiled as she remembered meeting Sunset Shimmer at the party. Surprised that the former pony was a fellow nudist, Emerald suggested they try to make a study group that was clothing free. Since Emerald's house was the closest to the school, it was decided they would go there for their first study group. As the trio began to walk toward Emerald's house, Sunset Shimmer had joined the group. "So you've been a nudist since you were a kid?" The red-and-yellow haired girl asked Emerald. "Yeah, and I've been going to the Green Hill Club since second grade." "I never heard of that particular club, is it far?" Sunset asked with a puzzled look on her face. "Yeah, it's kinda out there, but it's family friendly and it's not as expensive as the other clubs we've been to." "Maybe I'll switch to there sometime," the pony nudist gave a soft smile as they reached Emerald's house. Rosie's car was already parked in the driveway. "Your mom knows about the study group, right?" Sandymane asked as they entered the house. Fuchsia was watching TV in the living room. "Of course, in fact Mom is looking forward to meeting Sunset." "She is?" Sunset was taken aback by the comment. "Of course I am," Rosie Peace's voice said from behind her. She was already nude and smiling sweetly. "Would you like something to eat or drink?" "Um, I'm good..." Sunset replied with an unnerved voice. "So where can I get undressed?" "Anywhere is fine," Emerald explained as he removed his clothes and carelessly tossed them onto the floor. Sunset blinked a few times in confusion as she began to undress. "What's wrong, Sunset?" "N-Nothing," Sunset sighed as she removed the last of her clothing, and gently folded them up before setting them down. Flutter and Sandymane were already nude and heading to the dining room. Rosie carried a tray with glasses of fruit juice over to them. She noticed Sunset blushing slightly and trying to stay calm. "There's no need to be nervous," she assured the girl. "Nudity is the norm in our home. You have nothing to be ashamed of." "It's not that, Ms. Peace," Sunset replied as she joined her classmates. "It's just... this is my first time in another person's house that was naturist. I usually only go nude at my own house or at the club I attend, but never in someone else's house." "Well, there's a first time for everything," the pink-haired mother smiled as her guest took her seat. "Yeah, I guess," Sunset chuckled as the uneasiness slowly diminished. "So what is it you guys need help on?" "Math, for me," Emerald spoke up. "Ah, yes. The bane of most students," Sunset smirked as she got closer to Emerald and looked at his math homework. "I need help with biology," Flutter spoke up next. "I can help you there," Sandymane offered. "I have a certain expertise in that field, not just with bugs." The two girls began to look over the papers their biology teacher assigned. After about an hour, the study group of four felt they had studied enough for one day and now joined Fuchsia in the living room watching TV. Currently, the middle school student had the channel switched to Transformers Animated. Emerald had always been a fan of the giant robots, and had only recently gotten his sister interested. Sunset looked at the cartoon with interest, especially when a human girl by the name of Sari Sumdac appeared on the screen and spoke in a very familiar voice... "Twilight?!" She jumped up in surprise and her friends looked at her in confusion. She nervously chuckled as she lowered herself back onto the couch. "Oops, sorry about that. It's just... that pigtailed girl sounds a lot like a friend of mine..." "Twilight Sparkle," Emerald answered. "I thought the same." "But she's a student," Flutter pointed out. "How could she have the time to voice act for a cartoon?" "Maybe she's living a double life!" Fuchsia giggled at her own theory. "A secret identity she hides from everyone! Like how Sunset doesn't tell her friends she likes to go nude!" "How do you know about that?!" Sunset jumped up in surprise again as Fuchsia laughed at her reaction. "Flutter has the same look in her eyes. She's desperate to hide this new secret from her parents." "You don't need to tell everyone!" Flutter angrily snarled as the channel was suddenly switched to the news by Rosie. "Hey!" Fuchsia whined at her mother. "You may wanna see this, sweetie," Rosie pointed at the screen. "Our club is being featured." "... and a threat to the fashion industry, it goes without saying. We'd be much better off with less of these degenerates around." On the screen was a girl with purple curly hair, mauve skin, brown eyes and a smug, condescending demeanour. She was giving this accusatory speech to an interviewer. "And what of the naturists' statements that their way of life is harmless and encourages bodily acceptance?" "Don't make me laugh," scoffed the girl. "I think we can all recognize brainwashing when we hear it. With luck, our campaigns will help at least some of these weirdos see the error of their ways. At the very least, the Green Hill Club will soon be nothing but a bad memory." "'Campaigns'?" frowned Flutter. "'Brainwashing'?!" growled Sunset. "Mom, what is this about?" asked Emerald, looking no happier than the girls. "Suri Polomare..." Sunset clenched her fists in anger. "I remember her from the Friendship Games." "Suri Polomare? Isn't she a fashion designer in training?" asked Sandymane. "Yes, and a dishonest, underhanded one at that," said Sunset Shimmer, frowning. "Rarity once tried to present designs to her, and Suri rejected her - then copied her designs and tried to take credit for them." "That's just low..." Flutter said. "Thankfully, she didn't realize Rarity always signs her work and Suri was disqualified as a result. She hasn't had the most reliable reputation ever since." "The group's leader has one though," Rosie pointed the screen again, which had been muted by Fuchsia. Speaking to the reporter was a woman about the same age as Vice-Principal Luna. She had pale skin and sparkly dark-blue hair. "That's Night Sky, Luna's former best friend. She went to Crystal Prep and their friendship just sort of... broke." "What does she have against our lifestyle?" asked Sandymane, starting to look angry. "How are we such an inconvenience for her?" "I feel this has something more to do against Vice-Principal Luna than against naturism," Sunset replied, as Rosie shut the TV off. "I had better get home now," said Sunset, starting to gather up her clothes. "I have planning to do for the next session of the NLAC at Canterlot High. Hope to see you guys there!" "Goodbye, Sunset," smiled Rosie. "Have a safe journey back. What about you, Sandymane? Do you have to leave too?" The Trottingham girl pondered for a moment. "Actually, I might be able to spend the night here... if you'll have me, of course." Sunset had finished getting dressed and waved good-bye to the others. "We should do this again, sometime," the former unicorn said before closing the door. "Of course you can stay for the night, if you want to," smiled Rosie. She turned to her daughter. "Fuchsia, are you okay sharing your room with Sandymane?" "Sure!" Fuchsia grinned, moving over to her new temporary roommate. "In fact, I... kinda want to ask you about something later, Sandy." "Well, this would be a good chance," smiled Sandymane. "What about you, Flutter?" asked Emerald. "I'm afraid I can't," his girlfriend replied. "Mom and Dad are expecting me to be at home tonight. Maybe next time." She got up from the couch and began to get dressed. Before she left, she gave Emerald a kiss on the cheek. Emerald absentmindedly rubbed the spot where her lips touched it. "Em?" Fuchsia said after a few minutes. "She's already gone." Emerald quickly stood up and went to his room in embarrassment. "I take it he'd never been kissed before?" Sandymane asked as she and Fuchsia helped Rosie set the dinner table. "Never." "So what did you want to talk to me about?" Fuchsia suddenly blushed at the question. "Um, would you... see if your brother would wanna get together with me sometime?" "Like a play date?" "Yeah, sure," the younger girl looked away to avoid showing off her redder cheeks. Later that night Flutter sighed as she looked out her bedroom window. Emerald's light was still on across the street. "Maybe I should have stayed the night..." she sighed as she rested her arms on the windowsill. Remembering that her parents were leaving early tomorrow for work, an idea began to form in her head. Opening her window, she nervously stepped onto the roof of her house's garage. Keeping her balance, she slowly made her way down one of the support pillars holding roof above the porch. Landing behind the bushes surrounding the house, she slowly crept her way across the lawn. Stopping at the first row of bushes that bordered between the grass and sidewalk, a naughty thought crossed her mind. Crouching behind the nearest bush, she began to pull off her pajama top and bottoms, once again neglecting to put on underwear. Her nude body shivered as it was completely exposed to the night air. She quickly stashed her clothes into the bush and gave a quick look around the plant formation to make sure they weren't visible. Nodding in satisfaction, Flutter dashed across the street and climbed on top of Rosie's car. She admittedly felt a little more flexible as she leapt up to her neighbors' roof and reached the still illuminated window. Gently tapping the glass, she saw Emerald approaching her. Quietly opening the window, he had a look of surprise on his face. "What are you doing?" He whispered harshly, not wanting to wake his mother, sister or guest. "Couldn't sleep," Flutter shrugged. "Thought I could spend the night here with you." She had a hopeful gleam in her eyes as Emerald sighed. "Sure. Come in," he walked back to his bed as Flutter carefully stepped into his room. It had a TV on one end of the wall, with the closet by its side. On his desk were numerous figurines, comics and books. His bed was untidy, and sitting by it was a game console. Flutter noticed Emerald was inviting her to lie down with him. "So where are your clothes?" "Oh," Flutter played with her hair a little as she pointed to the bush where she had hidden her nightwear. "So you came here in the nude?" "Mostly, it was kind of a impulsive moment when I reached the ground." "And your parents know about this?" "Not a clue. But they're leaving early tomorrow, so I'll be fine. They never come in to check on me during the morning." "Alright then..." Emerald blushed as Flutter got under the covers with him. "Yeesh! You feel so cold!" "Well, I DID just run across the street in the nude at night," Flutter replied teasingly as she snuggled up to his body, his bare skin feeling warm in comparison. "Maybe you can help warm me up," she whispered in his ear. "No sex though," her boyfriend warned. "I'm not ready for that level in our relationship yet." "Same here," Flutter hugged him tighter. "Hence why I'm keeping you secure in this position..." she yawned before resting her head against his arm. The sound of light snoring confirmed to Emerald that she was asleep. Slowly, he began to doze off to dreamland as well.
