//------------------------------// // The Talk // Story: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon Rape the Cutie Mark Crusaders // by Yukito //------------------------------// Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon struggled as they tried to move about inside of the net they were being suspended in. Below them, three cheerfully fillies danced about as they celebrated their success. They had raped Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. “Okay, fine, you got us!” Diamond Tiara yelled. “Now get us down from here!” “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you!” Scootaloo said, putting a hoof to her ear as Sweetie Belle giggled. “Can you repeat that?” “We said you raped us!” Silver Spoon admitted. “Now let us down!” “Ah think they’ve had enough punishment fer now,” Apple Bloom said. “Sweetie Belle, if ya would.” “With pleasure.” Sweetie Belle kicked the crank and allowed the netting to fall to the floor. The two fillies scrambled out of the net, rope covering their bodies and tripping them up many times in the process. In the distance, Sweetie Belle could see some ponies approaching. “Hey, look! It’s our sisters!” “Uh-oh,” Apple Bloom muttered as the group of mares closed in on them. “Um… hi?” Applejack looked over the scene with a worried look over her pale face. “W-What in tarnation happened here?” she asked, terrified of the answer that she would receive. Scootaloo puffed her chest out. “We raped them!” she proudly declared. “Oh no,” Rainbow Dash said as she slammed a hoof into her face. “Please tell me I didn’t just hear that,” Rarity pleaded, her legs shaking beneath her. Cheerilee looked at the two fillies all tied up in rope and felt like she was going to be sick “H-How could you- The three of you are always such sweet little angels.” “Hey, they started it!” Scootaloo argued. “They raped us first!” “Two wrongs don’t make a right!” Applejack scolded. “Y’know that, Apple Bloom!” “Tell that to our bottoms,” Apple Bloom muttered. “It’s not like we hurt ‘em too bad or anythin’.” “That’s not the point! Rape is never acceptable an’ I can’t believe mah own sister is now a rapist!” “But you guys do it all the time,” Sweetie Belle said. “We WHAT?!” Rarity screamed, hitting a new pitch never before reached by ponies. “Yeah! Rainbow Dash raped both of you last week!” Scootaloo shouted, pointing an accusatory hoof at a now-panicked Rainbow Dash. “What are you saying?!” Rainbow demanded. “And we saw Miss Cheerilee rape her sister Berry Punch two days ago!” Sweetie Belle added. “Girls!” Cheerilee shouted, now no longer concerned but instead just full-on angry. “If you think that lying and spreading false gossip will make things any easier on yourselves-” “But it’s not a lie!” Apple Bloom protested. “We saw you put hot sauce in yer sister’s drink an’ then she ran around lookin’ fer water!” The five mares looked at each other. Now nopony was sure what to say, or to think. “Girls,” Cheerile began, “What exactly do you think of when we say the word ‘rape’?” “Prankin’ somepony,” Apple Bloom replied. “That’s what Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon told us,” Sweetie Belle said. All eyes turned to the two fillies, who were now free thanks to Mayor Mare’s help. “That’s what Miss Fluttershy said it meant,” Diamond Tiara explained. “Are… ya sure?” Applejack asked with a suspicious glare. “It ain’t exactly like Fluttershy ta lie like that.” “But that’s what she said!” Diamond Tiara defended adamantly. “She said that rape was doing something to somepony they don’t want you to do!” “Um…” All eyes turned to the nearby bushes, where a blushing, yellow pegasus emerged from within. “S-Sorry I’m late. I heard about what happened and I… I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” “Fluttershy, what is goin’ on here?” Applejack asked. “It’s all my fault,” Fluttershy repeated, closing her eyes tight in fear of seeing her friends’ angry glares. “Diamond Tiara found that word in one of my books and asked me what it meant, and I didn’t know how to explain it without going into ‘that’ and so I… I didn’t exactly lie to her, I just…” “So… it was all just one big misunderstanding?” Cheerilee asked and Fluttershy nodded. “Oh, thank heavens,” she sighed. “This is such a nightmare,” Mayor Mare said as she held her head. “But… at least now it seems as though the matter is resolved. Well, just as soon as I inform everypony as to what we have found out.” “Wait, I don’t get it,” Apple Bloom said. “If rape don’t mean prankin’ somepony, then what does it mean?” The other fillies all moved in closer, each one expressing a desire to know the truth. “W-Well, that’s-” Cheerilee stumbled, but then felt a hoof on her shoulder. “Ah think y’should probably just tell ‘em,” Applejack said. “Lest we cause any more damage than what’s already been done.” “I agree,” Rarity said. “I think they’re still a little young, but these days I think teaching them whilst they are young is probably the smart thing to do.” “Uh… I have no authority over any of ‘em, but uh… I learned about sex way younger than ‘em, and I turned out fine,” Rainbow Dash said, hoping to add to the conversation in any way that she could. With a sigh, Cheerilee nodded. “Um,” Fluttershy spoke up. “W-Would you mind if I… sat here and listened, too? J-Just in case you need any help explaining things, of course,” Fluttershy said, her eyes shifting about nervously. “Sure, why not,” Cheerilee responded before clearing her throat. “Okay fillies, listen up. First, I’m going to teach you about ‘sex’.” A long time passed, with Jeopardy music in the background as the five fillies’ facial expression ranged from slightly horrified to ‘oh my god, why would you even?’. “And that’s why rape is wrong and why you should never, ever force somepony into sex without their permission,” Cheerilee finished. “Any questions?” Sweetie Belle raised her hoof. “Yes, Sweetie Belle?” “WHYYYYYYYYYYY?!” she screamed, before covering her head in her hooves. Diamond Tiara removed her tiara and poked Silver Spoon with it. “Silver Spoon, quick! Take this and beat the last five hours from my memory out of me!” Apple Bloom turned to Applejack. “D-Did Ma an’ Pa do that?” Applejack nodded. “Three times?!” Another nod, followed by a moment of silence. “I-Is that how they died?” “No wonder my folks don’t wanna have any more children,” Scootaloo said with a shudder. “Well, ah think we’ve punished ‘em enough for their actions,” Applejack said. The other mares nodded in agreement. “I think we can safely resume school activities starting tomorrow,” Cheerilee said to Mayor Mare. “No, make that the day after,” Mayor Mare said. “Parents are going to have to have ‘the talk’ with their children and not all of them may be able to do so today.” “Ooh! How about a Sex Ed fair?!” Pinkie Pie asked as she sprang out of nowhere, startling everypony present. “P-Pinkie Pie?! Where’d you come from?!” Applejack asked. “An’ what d’ya mean by a ‘Sex Ed fair’?” “Well if all the foals are gonna be learnin’ about it on the same day anyway why not make a massive fair about it so they can all learn together?!” Pinkie Pie bounced up-and-down as ideas ran through her mind. “There’ll be streamers and food and games and activities and-” “Pinkie, no offence, but ah don’t think Sex Ed is the kinda thing ponies usually make a fair about.” “Aah, my dearest Applejack. Don’t you know me by now? I can make a fair about anything!” Pinkie Pie bounced her way towards town, talking about how she’ll need to prepare one thousand balloons in just twelve hours. Mayor Mare looked on with a worried look. “S-Shouldn’t somepony stop her?” “Already on it,” Rainbow Dash said as she released a balloon and pushed it in the direction of Pinkie Pie. “Ooh, something floating!” Pinkie Pie chased after the balloon, completely forgetting about her previous idea. “Alright, well, now that that is taken care of…” Rarity turned to the fillies. Apple Bloom was praying for forgiveness from her parents, Scootaloo was shielding herself with her tail, Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara were banging their heads into a tree and Sweetie Belle had apparently taken up being an ostrich. “Perhaps we should get these little ones home.” “Agreed. C’mon, Apple Bloom,” Applejack said as she picked up her sister onto her back. “Ma and Pa don’t blame ya. It wasn’t yer fault.” “C’mon, Squirt,” Rainbow Dash said as she picked up the shivering filly. “I’ll take ya home and, tomorrow, I’ll show you a cool new trick I’ve been working on.” Scootaloo did not respond. “… That usually works. Huh.” Rarity levitated her sister onto her back. “I’ll take Sweetie Belle to our parents’ house and ask them to fix her,” she said, earning a disapproving look from Cheerilee. “Oh, forgive me for not being ‘motherly’ at the young age of twenty-one! Hmph!” Cheerilee retrieved the last two fillies as the other mares left. “Well then, I suppose I had better get the two of you to your homes.” As the teacher walked down the streets with the two fillies on her back, all was silent. So silent it almost threatened to drive to teacher mad. Finally, one of the fillies spoke. “Miss Cheerilee?” Silver Spoon asked. “Yes?” “Can you tell Diamond Tiara not to learn any new words?” Cheerilee laughed. It was the only response her brain could come up with as she continued walking. “Just remember, any questions-” “Ask you?” Silver Spoon asked. Cheerilee sighed and shook her head. “No. For this, any questions… ask your parents.”
