Two-Faced Mare
One of Velvet's eyes opened, followed shortly after by the other. Her groggy morning vision turned her room into a bunch of blurry blobs that slowly came into focus before she yawned wide. She slipped out from underneath the covers to place her hindlegs on the floor, then reached to touch her forehooves to her hindhooves. Her back gave a relieving pop-pop and she groaned, yawned, and straightened back up.
She shook out her mane, which was a tangled mess of mauve curls that she needed to brush into submission. Some time right around when she hit puberty, her mane decided that it was going to do its own thing and it had been a constant battle ever since. Cosmetic self-maintenance was loathsome to her, but not nearly as much as the birds' nest she called a mane when she didn't do the bare minimum: a shower, a mare care product that battled curls for a full day, a long brushing session, and a tight bun to ensure her hard work stayed in place.
While she went through her routine, she contemplated what she had in store for the day. Life had certainly gotten a little more complicated since she dropped out of Canterlot Academy two years ago, but joining a ballet company had given her a sense of purpose and structure, so she had no regrets. A whole day of practice awaited her and she didn't have time to dawdle.
She wiped the shower-spawned steam off the mirror so that she could examine her reflection. A pink mare with the sweetest expression looked back at her. She scrunched up her nose at her disheveled appearance, let out a high-pitched but raspy little giggle, and began taming her mane. Her tail, thank Celestia, had stayed compliant by remaining naturally straight and only needed a light brushing.
"Finally," she grumbled as she snapped the bun into place, smiled at herself, and walked over to the door that brought her out into the main living space. "Morning, Crystal!"
Crystal Wishes, her roommate and fillyhood friend, looked up from the teacup she was nursing and flashed a smile. "Good morning." She shifted slightly on her sitting pillow. "The kettle's still hot, if you'd like some."
Crystal was a true Canterlot lady who despised everything about the culture into which she had been raised. Her parents, Upper Crust and Jet Set, were notable socialites and had gone to great lengths to give her a proper upbringing. Ironically, it was those very lengths that made her hate Canterlot society.
Ever since she had gone steady with a royal guard officer named Silent Knight, she spent an awful lot of her time either going on dates with him, thinking about him, or writing a thinly veiled fantasy about him. Velvet didn't understand the desire one bit, but it was Crystal's life to waste as she pleased.
Velvet pranced into the kitchen, one ear swiveled toward her friend. "What are your plans today? Let me guess. Date with Silent Knight?" She snorted, then covered the sound up with a giggle. "That's the only reason why you get up early on a weekend."
Crystal huffed. "I'll have you know, I have plans to meet with Raven this afternoon." She trailed to draw out the last word until she finally added in a quiet voice, "And then I have a date with Silent Knight. It's a double date, actually, with Runic and Miley." She paused. "I'm not sure how late we'll be out. Would you like me to make you something for dinner and leave it in the fridge?"
Velvet kept her back to Crystal, spreading jam across a piece of bread while she grinned. "Nah. I've got plans to eat out tonight, so don't worry about me."
"All right." Crystal sipped her tea, then set the cup on the coffee table and stood. As usual, she set about making space for the rest of Velvet's morning routine, her magic rearranging the pillows and furniture to clear a space in the center of the room.
"Thanks," Velvet said as she walked over. She finished off the last bite of her breakfast and settled on the floor. With her legs folded crossed over one another, she closed her eyes and focused first on breathing exercises. Warm-up was next with some light stretching, followed by more intense stretching, and then finally practicing the moves for the upcoming ballet, Swan Lake.
---
"... Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three," Velvet muttered under her breath, counting along with the rest of the ballerinas as they watched Perennial on the stage.
Though the unicorn diva was hard to work with, there was no denying her technical skill. She spun around on one hindleg, the other extending and whipping around to the side with utmost precision to carry the rest of her body around while the leg folded at the knee before repeating the motion. It took time, practice, and talent to execute a perfect fouetté, much less how many Perennial was spinning through with ease.
"... thirty," Velvet continued, "thirty-one, thirty-two..."
Perennial snapped her leg down to stop her movement all at once, then stood with her forelegs spread high in the air in her classic applause-demanding pose. The other mares complied, some earnestly as it was an impressive feat. Velvet sat in almost bitter awe.
"That, girls, is how it's done," Perennial said with a huff as she dropped down onto all fours and sauntered off the stage. "And why I am Odette."
Velvet grinned and whispered to the mare beside her, "And Odile. Actually, mostly Odile."
Nightingale giggled behind a hoof. "Oh, you!"
Perennial's head jerked to the side to glare at them. "Is there something the matter, Velvet Step?"
"Why would you think that, Perennial?" Velvet smiled. "Should something be the matter?"
Perennial snorted. "Just get on stage with the rest of the swan-maidens and go through your choreography already." She tossed her mane and sat down on a plush pillow, levitating a glass of cucumber water to her lips.
Velvet rolled her eyes once her back was to the diva. "I swear," she said to Nightingale when they were out of earshot, "if I could, I would challenge her for the role just to see the look on her face."
"Well, she is prima for a reason." Nightingale sighed. "You should count yourself lucky that you got to be Kitri last tour."
A smile splayed across Velvet's face and her mind drifted off while her body went through the motions. Her legs knew just what to do from her constant practicing and didn't need any guidance, so she was free to daydream about how wonderful it had been to headline a ballet despite her initial fear of failure. Slowly, the thoughts drifted to her plans for that afternoon and how she hoped to spend it.
After practice, she trotted with the rest of the girls to the showers. Her sexual preferences were unknown to nearly every mare around her at that moment, and she felt no shame in that. It wasn't as though she fantasized about them, even after seeing their wet, dripping bodies in the showers. She kept her gaze always well above the shoulders to resist the temptation to ogle. Work was work and her fellow ballerinas were off limits.
Granted, she did sometimes think about pinning Perennial down and kissing her just to fluster the over-the-top diva, but that was totally different. That was an urge in the back of her mind that she would never, ever act on. She had too much self-control for that sort of behavior.
Velvet took extra care to thoroughly clean her mane with just water. Runic Phial, the local mare care expert, had warned her that regular shampoo would neutralize the effects of the anti-curl serum, and the bottle she kept in her locker was empty. Thankfully, she hadn't built up too much of a sweat during practice, so she didn't feel too gross about it.
"Good job today, girls!" She waved as she walked out after drying off. "See you all tomorrow!"
---
The Mare Contraire was a nice bar that catered to the fairer sex. Stallions weren't barred from entry, but given that the mares who frequented the place weren't looking for their company, they tended to go elsewhere. That made it the perfect haven for a pony like Velvet on a night when she sought the soft embrace of a mare.
Velvet trotted across the bar and over to take a seat on a stool. "Hey, Dolly!" She waved at the pink bartender to flag her down. "The usual, please!"
Dolly nodded to acknowledge her, then turned away to set about making the drink while Velvet eyed the crowd.
Although she had gotten the nerve to confess to Crystal that her tastes swung both ways, she still had a secret to keep from her best friend. Crystal was the biggest, most hopeless romantic Velvet had ever met. How could she even begin to understand the idea of making love sans love?
Yet, there Velvet was, searching for the right mare to have nigh-anonymous sex with, and that pony was most certainly not her 'special somepony'. There was just no way she could explain it to Crystal, so she just had to make sure the mare never, ever found out.
Velvet recognized a few of the faces and her gaze immediately flickered away, removing them from her mental list of possibilities. One-night stands were called such for a reason, and she wasn't going to be the one to rock the boat on the definition. Her eyes met those of a mare all too familiar to her and she paused.
Nightingale stood on the far end of the dance floor, looking back at her. They nodded to acknowledge their agreement that neither would bring up their awkward first meeting at the Mare Contraire ever again, and broke eye contact.
What was she going to do when she ran out of partners that fit her criteria? She drummed her hooves lightly on the counter as she mulled the potential issue over. At her current rate of one secret excursion every few weeks, she might have to re-evaluate her standards one day. For the time being, however, a cute mare caught her eye and the wink she offered was a distinct distraction from the somewhat distressing conundrum.
Velvet grinned. That was an invitation, one she gladly accepted. She picked up the appletini Dolly had set in front of her and walked over to the mare. "Hi."
The mare giggled and her wings fluttered with excitement. "Hiya!"
Velvet took a sip of her drink. "What's your name, cutie?"
"Diddle Daddle," she replied and finished with a coy smile, "but my friends call me Diddy."
"Well, what would a pony call you if they wanted to be more than friends for a night?" Velvet raised her brow, returning the coy smile with a sly smirk. There was no sense in hiding her motivations or beating around the bush; nopony came to the Mare Contraire looking for a commitment.
Diddy's ears shot straight up and a blush lit up her light purple face. "Oh!" She blinked a few times, then burst into a fit of giggles. "I guess that pony could call me whatever they liked!"
Velvet sipped her drink again before she set it down on the nearest table and started to stalk a circle around Diddy, eyeing her up and down while the mare shifted nervously. "Do you want to dance some before we go to your place, or"—she stopped just beside her, leaning in and whispering in her ear—"skip out of here and try a different kind of dance in your bed, babydoll?"
A small sound of surprise caught in Diddy's throat. Her face grew a deeper shade of red and she tried to hide her surprise by giggling. "Do, um, do I get to know your name first?"
Velvet inclined her head and nibbled on the ear she had whispered into. "Velvet."
"Ohh." A shiver coursed through the mare and she bit her lower lip. "That's a n-nice name. Um... I don't live far from here..."
Velvet grinned, pulled back, and retrieved her drink. "Sounds like a plan, then. I'm going to go pay, you start leaving, and I'll be right behind you." She downed the rest of the bright green liquid in one go.
Diddy blinked a few times. "Huh? Oh, okay." She hesitated before she started to walk to the door, glancing over her shoulder.
After tossing a few bits on the counter beside her empty glass, Velvet meandered her way out of the bar. She took the long path so that she wove through the crowd of mares and once she spotted Diddy walk out of the bar, she went to the doors herself.
She had to act casual and keep her cool despite the urge to run after the mare, pin her down, and take her right there in the streets. Canterlot was a gossip-fueled place and she couldn't risk the grapevine ruining her perfectly partitioned life. Diddy had seemed to catch on to the ruse because she didn't glance back again to see if she was following, instead prancing on ahead toward the residential district nearby.
Velvet hummed her favorite tune to herself. Humming brought her a sense of both calm and focus whenever she felt nervous, and the moments before she was safely inside another mare's place made her heart pound. Crystal wasn't known for taking late night strolls, but she was on a date. What if the group decided to take a stroll? This part of Canterlot was the more hip, rowdy area where the bars and clubs were located. Crystal tended to visit the more upscale side of town. Thus far, their paths had never crossed, but if they did—
Diddy disappeared into an apartment and seemingly shut the door, though it was actually left just slightly ajar. Velvet waited another moment, looking around the dimly lit surroundings, then slipped inside.
It was a nice place, as they usually were in Canterlot. It was also private once Velvet shut the door behind her, and that was really all that mattered.
"So, I guess you're not out yet, huh?" Diddy teased from the couch and burst into another fit of giggles.
Velvet stalked over to the couch with a playful grin on her face. "Something like that." She drew a gentle hoof down the mare's back, then patted her flank. "Why don't you roll over, sweet cheeks?"
Diddy shivered and rolled over onto her back, gazing up at Velvet with big blue eyes that begged for more of her touch.
Velvet was more than happy to comply.

(squeeee!!!!!) its here, thank you for the new story!
Wow. This is really good. Its nice to see that even though we've known these characters for a long time, there is still sides to them we don't know.
That cover art! :3
...OMG... Velvet, you are a smooth operator, and a completely awesome mare.
Teach me your secrets! 
Anyway, I am loving this 'new' Velvet already. What's going on behind the mask. It's definitely going to be very interesting and fun to see what goes on in Velvet's head. 
What's Behind the Velveteen Mask. 
Also... is that a love-hate relationship with Perennial I sense, or just a desire for angry horizontal dancing? 
Either way, I'm going to enjoy this story!
I give it
/10
Sincerely,
-Starlight Dancer-
Does Velvet have a little black book of cutie marks with lipstick kisses checking them off? Did Crystal already include this in one of her more risque pieces?
The mystery grows. What is the dark secret that Velvet is hiding? Dun dun dun.
:velvet: butts!
This has a decidedly different pacing than the other QnB works. And I'm definitely catching onto a little different stylistic flair going on in this one too. I like it.
And now, just because I'm a physicist, and this seems like the appropriate place to use it considering the levels of smooth up in here...
'I'll teach you some physics if you show me some chemistry.'
That was most interesting. It wasn't what I was expecting, but not entirely a surprise.
This Velvet is intriguing. Most intriguing.
There is much room for future conflict, and I suspect the pressures of maintaining those two very different faces may come to a head before long.
I eagerly await more!
Well, Velvet seems to be having an interesting evening.
The fact she's plainly bisexual was no surprise. A story (thus far) revolving around the fact? I wasn't expecting that.
I'm intrigued, though. Do go on.
6405443
It occurs to me that if Velvet is bisexual we may find out how the non-master race deals with avoiding pregnancy. Do they walk around with their potion, pill, physical prevention method on display (clothing what?). Are they long term taken before or after the act? Do they have to humble themselves before designated horned ones at the corner apothecary? Do they pray to Celestia or Luna and hope for the best? Are stallions strictly off limits for 'classic' happy fun times? Exclusively pick up unicorns and borrow their cheat mode?
Hm, we never really get much of Velvet's life in Crystal's story actually. We don't even know her favorite pastry!
It's here and oh god I see a lot of Winningverse Cloud Kicker in Velvet.
Yes, as 6405149 said, SQUEEEEEEeeeeee....!
The vastly different perspective is going to take some getting used to. We've seen Silent's, Crystal's, Horsey's, and Azurite's, but even amongst some of their adventures, Velvet's in a whole different category. I like it; I just didn't expect it from this storyverse.
Now, please don't hate me, but...
I'm imagining the situation, and it seems like either this just wouldn't be that hard for a quadruped pony, or Velvet's actually doing something that makes her a lot more flexible than I thought she was (she should be in Cirque du Soleil).
6405149 Aww, thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
6405151 What Crystal doesn't see, Crystal doesn't know! But now we'll know...
6405159 Thanks!! I hope to surprise but also entertain with this story.
6405184 No need to ask, she's a smooth operator...
Looking forward to your thoughts on the chapters to come!
6405206 Always butts! I love the idea of the little black book of cutie marks.
6405220 Oh, gosh. I didn't intend to have a different style, though Velvet certainly lends herself to one, so I suppose that's just a side effect of writing from her perspective. Now I just hope I can keep up said style going forward because I don't know what I'm doing. Also... that pick up line, though. You'll make the mares swoon with that kind of talk!
6405287 "Not what I was expecting but not entirely a surprise" is exactly what I've been going for. I've tried to gently hint at it in Wishes in a few different places... and, of course, we'll see those different places from Velvet's perspective, to see what her motivations behind the words. Dialogue is the same, but the framing and emotion and context... not so much.
6405327 Indeed!
6405443 Not too much of a spoiler, but just to be safe: Velveteen Mask will look at Velvet's life from several different angles. I just picked the sexual one to start off with for the shock factor.
That said, her romantic and sexual tendencies are one of the main focuses of the story!
6405521 Hmm... Hhhmmm... Yes, this will absolutely and totally be covered.
6405540 Aahh another person who thinks the style is different? I mean, it clearly is, I just didn't intend to. But I guess it just comes with writing a different character.
I'm glad you like it nonetheless!
6405564 Velvet is not ashamed of her promiscuity! Just... um... don't tell Crystal!!
I won't speak to the other points, though! 
6405568 In the prologue, she seemed to like both!
6405620 Any parallels are pure coincidence because I've not read it. I removed Cloud Kicker from Horsey's story... don't make me remove Velvet from this story.
To be perfectly frank, and this isn't directed at you, but it kind of takes the wind out of my sails to hear that. Again, I've not read it, so it has nothing to do with the story itself, but I don't want a boyfriend to say to me, "Oh, you remind me of this girl Nancy"... and in the same vein, I don't want folks thinking of other characters while in bed with mine.
6405627 No hate whatsoever. I go by cartoon logic. If ponies can bend and move in the following real-life-pony-unnatural ways and use their wings for push-ups and weight-lifting, then Velvet can do the "touch your toes" stretch!

[EDIT] Rereading, I think I misunderstood you. What I was going for was "touch your toes" stretch... Akin to this, best picture I can find:
deludeddiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cheating.jpg
6405685 Glad to surprise and hopefully delight!
6405729 Yes, yes, it is. I just hope 1) you like it and 2) I have the courage to keep going with it given the.. different nature.
6405716 Crystal, I could sit down with your writer mare and regale her the tale of A&W and that would be enough to induce swooning.
LOL In fact, I'm going to send ya something.
It's interesting to see the immediate difference in non-wandering eyes during shower time compared to the prologue. Good planning on not eating where you sleep, Velvet, to butcher a saying.
And you know, with how aggressive Velvet was with Diddy, I'm not so sure I completely believe the explanation we got in regards to Sunny and who was seducing who.
6405716
Noooooooo! I was looking forward to that different take on her.
6405736 No worries on that front.
6405819 That was definitely the main intent of showing the prologue, to give that compare-and-contrast of mindset. It's an important one that she had to learn one way or another, and by this point in her life she learned it for sure!
As far as the whole Sunny thing... well, I guess we'll just have to see!
re: Cloud Kicker—I much preferred having a character that was seen in several athletic things, but Wild Flower is a good back-up candidate. It just really rubs me the wrong way to hear more than once about Winngingverse (I still want to make it clear I've not read it and don't like or dislike it whatsoever, for those that do, I've just not read it). Even if it were a story I had read and liked, I dunno, it just feels like I'm starting right out the gate with someone else's shadow and that's not fun for me.
Ah, well. Wild Flower will get some time to shine.[edit] Alas, Wild Flower, I knew her well. With a cooler head about the situation I put Cloud Kicker back in play. Fanon, have at thee!
6405716
Unfortunately any story with a very promiscuous pony is likely to be compared to Cloud Kicker. It used to be Rainbow Dash who would hit anything she could catch, then the Winningverse took off and Cloud Kicker became the go to nymphomaniac.
If you somehow get the torch passed to Velvet that would be a coup to laugh about for a good long time.
Wow, Velvet has a very playful side to her.
Velvet...
Wow...
But that's enough for the intro. You have made it... uhm... crystal clear... that Velvet is a completely different person than the roommate Crystal knows.
I'm anticipating a plot or conflict soon. And I'm certain you won't dissappoint.
I'm calling it right now, Velvet's gonna lose it and she is definitely going to kiss Perennial. I can feel it in my bones.
6405986 seems logical, that might be the initial reason she dons a mask and goes by a moniker (but then again, I'm just guessing). It would rather amusing if Perennial actually gets turned on by act, maybe so much she seems off her game the following morning or practice.
6406013
OOOOOooooOOOOh....
Now that right there would be an interesting twist
6405802 Their ship name still slays me. Oh, RootBeer.
6405847
I do wish I had known that before I picked Cloud Kicker.
6405950 I wouldn't say completely different! She just has the moves to back up the things she says that Crystal doesn't take seriously.
6405986 Velvet is very serious about not diddling where she works! Only Daddle gets diddled! ... And other mares not in her ballet company!
6406081 Hahah, you're fine, like I said the sentiment isn't directed at you. It's a more generalized feeling.
I'm pretty sure most of us suspected Velvet swung in at least the one direction, and I kiiiiinda suspected she might be an offscreen horndog (especially with how evasive she's been about her other friends). But TBH I was hoping it wasn't the case. As interesting as the secret duality and foil to Crystal's romanticism is, it was kind of a breath of fresh air to think of her as the one who just wasn't interested at all.
6405847
Despite my misgivings I wouldn't be averse to said coup. Most of the writers who take CK in that direction forget to write hardly any other facets into her at all.
6406195 Well, I certainly understand the desire for a breath of fresh air regarding Velvet's private life and I'm sorry to not deliver on that front. Velvet is aromantic with sexual urges, so it's a little complicated for her.
6406151 Now we can confuzzle people.
Yay new story! and Dang o.o Velvet is a pretty steamy type of mare it seems. Its interesting to see Velvets life seeing as you dont really see it much or get much hint of anything in CW's story. But I like how she is different from Crystal Wishes in some regards. I cant wait to see more of this story
Insta fave, track, and thumbs up. C'mon you gotta make Velvet make some moves on Crystal.....just to see her squirm a little.
6406408 The narrative of Wishes focusing on Crystal is the primary culprit for why we know so little about Velvet's life outside of their interactions... Velvet herself is the other culprit!
Unfortunately for her I have a specialized team of fingers following her (nearly) every move to record it here! 
6406614 I don't think Crystal would know what to do if Velvet laid the kind of talk on her that she used on Diddy!
And thank you! 
6406631Sweet. I like velvet as a character before this story. I cant wait to see more.
Wow. Such potential for scandal, no?
I suspected that Velvet was bi. Cant wait to see where this story takes us and am looking forwards to finding out Velvets secrets.
Hah! I was almost right about Velvet being an escort. The only problem is that Velvet hasn't learned that she can get paid for what she does. So at this point she's basically just Sunny Day, but better at keeping her private life separate from every other part of her life.
For now.
Oh... oh dear. Oh my. oh dear.
Crystal? Would you be a darling and make me a mint julep over ice, so that I may cool off this burning in my heart? Oh, Lovey, I feel my temperature rising!
There may have been more to Silent's observation about Velvet trying to draw them into a three way relationship.
Gooood morning! Those of you who are familiar with me won't be surprised to hear that nearly my entire dream last night was waking up to hundreds of downvotes and awful, mean comments. So, thank you all for not being a dream come true.
6406793 Hmm, I'm curious, what sort of scandal are you thinking?
6406886 I look forward (somewhat anxiously) to sharing the journey with you!
6406980 For now indeed! Yes, I didn't think of it that way but Velvet is similar to Sunny. I think (and this is honestly just me and does not reflect on Sunny, Anzel, or is "canon" to QnB in any way) the difference is that Velvet is in it just for the sex, whereas Sunny was open to the idea of romance blooming, would go on actual dates, etc. A small difference and mostly inconsequential but... an important one.
6407316 Indeed, I'd be most happy to supply mint juleps on the front porch. Just pull up a rocking chair and watch the life of Velvet Step, fanning yourself with one hand and sipping a cold beverage with the other... You'll need it!
6407383
Perhaps indeed!
6407618
Yeah, their views on romance and dating are very different, no doubt there. But their motivations and results are very, very similar.
Though I think we'll get to see a very different side of Velvet if Perennial really does get her hooves on her. It would be doubly interesting because I would get to see if you've actually been corrupted by your own characters enough to actually write something like that.
6407788 *looks at ~important~ scene already written involving Perennial*
*looks at comments*
*looks back*
Well, we'll just have to see.

I'm sure most people celebrate that sort of thing. For this story? Oh gosh. I don't think it works well without reading Wishes first, and random people clicking through the Featured Box aren't going to read a 300,000+ word story, so... yeah...
6407866
It'll be great! People will then be curious and go to your other stories and love them as much as all your fans do, which is A LOT. You're a great author and I look forward to learning more about Velvet!
Also, where did you get those dog pics? I'm cracking up at seeing them! xD

*ahem* I mean, they're from Hyperbole and a Half's post about Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving.
I've read it before, but I actually re-found it by doing a Google search for "high pitched sound of terror" to try to find a picture that properly encapsulated how I feel.
eeeeeeeee....
That aside, thank you for the kind words, I very much appreciate them!
Oh wow, I love this especially with the recent chapter of three of diamonds! Suddenly that encounter looks a lot less innocent. Can't wait to see more.
Awesome side story is awesome.
6408293 It should be interesting to see what people think when we reach that chapter! That is a way's away, though!
6408391 Glad you like it!
6408449 Yesssss!
6407618
I'm not sure what kind. I just have a feeling that this is scandalous in Canterlot considering the city's hoity toity culture. May result in being a social outcast and disowned from her Velvet's family? Jeez, could hit the fan really fast if that is considered to be scandalous.
Wow, Velvet's hidden a LOT. This is going to be crazy...
