Troubles By The Score

Rarity happily walked towards Fluttershy's cottage. She wanted to ask her how her date with Thunderlane went. As the cottage came in view, the unicorn saw a strange sight.

Bulk and Fluttershy stood in front of the cottage talking.

"Uh...it was nice of you walking with me...thank you for the company." smiled a grateful Fluttershy at Bulk.

"No problem, I was just doing the right thing." humbly state Bulk.

"Thanks anyways...maybe I'll see you again sometime?"

"We'll see...but I am off to continue my work out, hope you get better." Bulk waved goodbye and trotted away.

"I will! Thanks!" waved Shy back. She gave a loving sigh as she watched the white muscular pegasus walk away. "Now THAT'S a stallion." she sighed to herself.

"Fluttershy?"

The voice startled her out of her trance. "EEP!" she looked to see that it was just Rarity.

"You okay?"

"Oh...uh...yeah...I'm fine now, what are you doing here?" wondered the pegasus.

"Tell me...how was your date?" Rarity wanted to know every single detail.

"Oh...uh...it went really well..." Fluttershy did not want to worry her friend, so she lied.

"What did you do after dinner? Did you go to his place to 'spend the night'?"

"Ummm...uh...yeah...it was amazing." nervously lied the yellow mare.

"That's great! So..did you and him go all the way?"

"Umm....uh..." her face went red. "...we did."

"My goodness this is no fantastic! My Shy has finally grown up and became a mare...I'd never thought I'd see the day!" she gave Fluttershy a tight hug. "So on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the best, how did he rate?"

"Oh...he was a definite...five...yeah...five." The problem with her is that even though she can lie, she's not that great at it. "FIVE?! Really? Bad Fluttershy!"

"THAT good? He must be a very 'cunning linguist' in order to earn that rating...did he have you seeing stars afterwards?"

Fluttershy's face grew even redder, her wings went stiff and she didn't know how long she can keep the lie up before Rarity found out. "Oh why yes...a lot stars...couldn't move for a while afterwards...but I uh...have to go and feed my animals right now, if you don't mind..."

"I understand darling, we'll talk more about this and in more detail on our spa date this afternoon, glad you had so much fun and to hear he was actually good."

"The spa date is today?! I'm doomed!". Shy said nothing as she nervously walked inside, waved goodbye and closed the door.

Rarity sighed. "Why must Fluttershy lie to me?" she said to herself. "Oh well, I'll just probe her more until she cracks." Rarity walked back home.


Thunderlane desperately knocked on the front door to Dash's cloud home.

The door opened to see an annoyed Dash. "You came at a very bad time Thunder!" she snapped. "What do you want?"

"Have you seen Shy anywhere?" the black pegasus nervously asked.

"Not in a long while, why do you ask?" Dash was suspicious.

"I haven't seen her all day, since last night, I really wanted to apologize for her, for being a horrible coltfriend to her." he felt ashamed and bad.

"Look, I don't have the time to deal with this, so unless you want to talk to me about this, I suggest you join me and Joy and make it threesome." she stated.

"Joy? Threesome?"

"AUGHH!!!" moaned a stallion inside, in pain.

"Who-?"

"Maybe I denied him long enough," she thought out-loud. "Anyways, unless you want to join, we're done talking about this, good-bye!" Dash slammed the door on Thunderlane's face.

"That was...strange..." said the pegasus stallion to himself.


"So how did you find out you were a filly fooler?" asked Cheerilee as she drank her tea with Octavia.

"It's not something you find out Cheerilee...it's something you know. Stallions were just not attractive to me as mares, plus the fact that you had more options in terms of partners doesn't hurt either." explained the gray pony mare as she calmly sipped her tea. "Why do you ask?"

"Well...a few nights ago I got drunk and had sex with another mare, Twilight Sparkle." she answered. Octavia quickly spat out her tea.

"TWILIGHT SPARKLE?!"

"Uh...yeah..." The purple pony had no idea what was going on.

"Me and her were marefriends for two years a long time ago." Octavia exclaimed as she broke her signature composure.

"Marefriends?"

"She broke it off claiming that it was just a 'phase', but I always thought that was an excuse to keep her family from getting suspicious."

"Wait...you're saying...?"

"That Twilight Sparkle has been in denial and in the closet for a very long time. She refused to come out and forced our relationship to be secret, we kept up the charade of just being friends for TWO years!"

"What should I do?"

"Nothing! You should do nothing! From what I could guess, Twilight has been keeping her true self hidden and that drunken night caused it to slip out. She's in the closet and plans on staying in there until the day she dies."

"Are you sure she's a filly fooler? Maybe she's bi-"

"She's only bi or straight when it is convenient for those around her." interrupted Octavia. "Never once have I seen her have geniune feelings for a stallion. All of her relationships with them were shams to draw suspicion away from us, although to be fair, I had a few sham relationships in my life as well. But at least I eventually embraced who I was and now I am at peace with myself at last."

Cheerilee did not say a word as she took in everything she heard.


Mac walked into the barn to start the next part of today's chores; organize the barn. He looked at the messy piles of hay bails, tools on the floor and other random objects stored inside, he had much work to do.

As the stallion walked inside, the barn door suddenly closed and locked behind him. "Huh?"

"Hello there Mac." suddenly, Maude stepped in from the shadows.

"What are ya doin' here? What's goin' on?" Mac was a bit scared.

"I am here to do you Mac, and what's going on is that I am about to seduce you." explained the gray emotionless pony as she slowly walked up to him. "I really want to see how you handle under...extreme...conditions." eyes went up and down his body.

The red stallion was really scared for his life.
