Chapter 17: Oh No! We’ve Been WHAT?!
Sweetie sat, frozen in silence as she stared at Silver Spoon. Her eyes were wide with shock and horror; her mouth lay open silently screaming at the misfortune of the entire situation. The camera Silver had was a good one, and probably able to read very clearly what was on the computer screen from even that far away. And Sweetie had written out the full title of the club as well as titling the schedule as the “Third Nude Party”. Simply put, she screwed up big time.
Oddly enough, Silver’s reaction wasn’t one of malice or joy. It was more a mixture of regret and fear, as if she was being forced to do it. She clearly hadn’t seen the full chart or title, yet she knew she caught Sweetie in a vulnerable position. And Sweetie knew it too. She had to stop Silver Spoon, before the image graced Diamond Tiara’s eyes.
In flash, Silver scrambled out of the library as fast as her legs could carry her. Sweetie slammed the power button on the computer instantly shutting it down, and then took off after Silver. But the maneuver had cost her precious seconds, and by the time Sweetie exited the library, Silver was already down the hall.
Sweetie charged after Silver, putting every fiber of her leg muscles to use. It didn’t take long for her to gain ground, but Silver still had a good lead. Sweetie’s heart thundered in her chest, a biological accelerando of fear and exertion.
Finally, she managed to get close the gap on Silver. But before Sweetie could catch her, Silver reached a pair of doors leading outside. Silver barreled through one of the doors and slammed it shut behind her, right as Sweetie Belle ran full force into it. Yet instead of breaking through the door, it didn’t budge. Silver had managed to block it off in time and was now working to jam something between the handles.
“Silver, please opens this door!” Sweetie screamed banging on the door. At first there was no response. Sweetie’s heart sank but she kept on banging, “Sliver please, you don’t have to do this!”
“Yes, I do!” was the response.
“No you don’t! Please… don’t give that image to Diamond!”
“Why? What’s so damn important about your club?!” Silver snapped, resting her back on the door to catch her breath.
“You’ve seen why Silver,” Sweetie answered, “You’ve seen how much this school has improved since we started!”
“Improved? IMPROVED?! All you’ve done is to spread lies and distrust amongst the rabble. What the hell makes you think that counts as improvement?” Silver snapped.
“We haven’t done that, Silver. You know that better than anyone!” Sweetie shouted, “Look around you! Everyone’s finally getting along after so many years of being ruled by fear and hatred! The only one who is still under that illusion is you!”
“Stop it! That’s n-not true. I have everything…. I could ever need!” Silver screamed.
“But you’re not happy; I’ve seen the true you, Silver. I know how much you regret being the bully Diamond’s made you. I know you want a better life for yourself, but sticking with Diamond isn’t the answer. Please, just… give me the photo.” Sweetie begged.
“SPARE ME YOUR OVERBLOWN EGO,” Silver shouted, tears in her eyes, “Why is this club so damn important? Why are you so hell bent on defending it!?”
Sweetie slumped against the door. She had now run out of options. Lying to Silver might work, but it would only reinforce what Silver was saying. Worse, it might force her to regress. However, telling her the truth might have the exact same effect.
Whimpering, Sweetie conceded, “That camera you have, it can enhance parts of the image right?”
“Yes,” Silver answered cautiously, “What about it?”
“Enhance the image on the computer screen, and you’ll find out why.” Sweetie answered.
There was a long silence.
And then, “You’re running a …nudist club?”
Sweetie bit her lower lip. “Mhmm.”
Another pause, Silver lashed out. “You disgusting, exhibitionist perverts!”
“It’s not about that Silver! Please listen to me!” Sweetie pleaded.
“Shut your mouth! How dare you talk to me about helping this school when you’re running around nak—” Silver started.
“It’s not about that, Silver! We are helping this school; we’re tearing down the barriers between everyone, so they can appreciate themselves for who they really are!” Sweetie pleaded, tears streaming down her face, “And you’ve seen what it’s done to people! Do you really want CHS to go back to the way it was?!”
Silver didn’t answer at first, so Sweetie pressed home her plea, “CHS is finally coming together, and I’ll admit that we’re not going about this in a way that would be considered couth, but we are doing something to fix this school! If you give that image to Diamond, you’ll throw away everything we worked so hard to achieve.”
“She’s using you Silver! Just like Sunset used Flash, Snips, and Snails. The moment you lose your usefulness, she’ll dump you like yesterday’s trash. She’s never given you credit for any of the articles you’ve written. She’s definitely not your friend. The only thing you are to that bitch is a one-way ticket to the top!
Sweetie pleaded, trying everything she knew to get Silver to see sense, “Yes, our club is outside the norm, maybe even weird to most people. But we are doing something no one else here is: uniting this school.”
Sweetie panted, completely out of breath and out of energy. She needed a miracle now to save her skin. Silver was quiet, very quiet. Then Sweetie heard something. It was the sound of footsteps running away. Her pleas weren’t heard. Silver Spoon had run off.
In an instant, Sweetie began to panic. Her whole body went numb as she staggered away from the door. With a sprint in her step, her mind focused on one thing: getting home. As she staggered through the school, she reached for her phone and began texting her friends. But to her unbridled horror no one responded.
Finally, she exited through the front of the school, found her bike, and made her way home. Silver Spoon had gotten away and would surely give that image to Diamond Tiara. Everything was over now. The club would be disbanded; she and her friends would get expelled from CHS and possibly arrested. There was no way this would end well. Sweetie began to cry.
Tears streamed from her face as she rode. Everything was going so well and now it had all come crashing to the ground. This was exactly what Sweetie had feared all those weeks ago, and now it was coming true.
Then, as she reached a familiar street, she lost her balance and fell onto someone’s front lawn. Much to her amazement, it was Button’s house. And even more surprising, Button was actually outside looking right at her. He instantly ran over and picked Sweetie Belle up, “Whoa! Sweetie are you okay?”
But Sweetie didn’t answer; she just collapsed into his arms and began sobbing.
Button began to rub her back, “Hey, it’s okay. Let it all out.”
“No, it’s not okay.” Sweetie sobbed, “She knows, she knows everything!”
“Who knows everything? What’s going on?” Button asked.
Sweetie managed to hold back tears and coughs long to say, “Button, I’m a nudist.” She then proceeded to tell Button about everything. And yet throughout all of it, Button’s reaction stayed the same: slack jaw surprised. Sweetie first thought he was going to accept it, maybe just this once today things might be okay. When she finished however, a deafening silence made her heart sank. Then, Button let her go and stepped back.
He began breathing heavy, “You sick freak….”
Sweetie felt like she’d been kicked in the gut, “Button…”
“Stay away from me!” he shouted and began to run back inside the house.
“Button, wait please!!” Sweetie screamed.
But it was too late; her boyfriend slammed the door behind him. Sweetie just stood there, shocked and devastated. He left her, he just left her. After all that, after all she had been through, he had just abandoned her. On his own front lawn no less. At this point, she could practically kiss her social and school life goodbye.
Now angry, upset, and emotionally devastated, Sweetie made her way home. When she got home, she dumped her bike out in front of the garage and stormed inside. Just as she slammed the door behind her, she noticed Rarity running in from the kitchen.
“Sweetie Belle, where have you been? I was getting so worried!” Rarity said actually sounding concerned.
But Sweetie was beyond compassion at this point, “Rarity… I’m not in the mood right now.”
“Now what exactly is wrong with you?” Rarity asked as Sweetie stormed by and upstairs. When she didn’t get an answer she got a little peeved, “Sweetie Belle, answer me now what’s—”
“I’m a nudist!” Sweetie snapped as she reached the top step. She honestly didn’t care what happened now, “Go on and say it! Your sister is something uncouth! Sunset got me into it! Yeah bet’cha didn’t know that she’s one too!
“In fact, I managed to get my friends into it too. We even started a club at school for it! And now… Diamond Tiara knows about it, and she’ll write about it, and we’re all going to get expelled for it! AND BUTTON DUMPED ME BECAUSE OF IT! I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY!”
With tears streaming down her face, Sweetie stormed into her room leaving a very bewildered Rarity in the living room. Sweetie flopped down onto her bed and curled up into a ball. She began to sob, and sob hard. This was officially the worst day of her life.
Poor sweetie belle this was not what I expected and button mash you dick I hope the next time she or the other CMC members see you they kick you in the crotch
Mane 6 to the rescue in 3, 2. Hopefully Rarity takes this well and helps her sister instead of kicking her while she is down. Also Button Mash just lost all my respect and hopefully she ends up with someone better.
and this is the moment she wakes up.
7639198 what do you mean wakes up
.... Well... that happened.
Silver Spoon has photographic proof.
Button Mash has a thing shoved up his... Yeesh, is that really the reaction any male teenager would have concerning a female admitting to nudism as a life style choice? Not so sure about that. Probably couldn't compute fast enough to realize what this meant for him, oh well the next chapter should help clear the air a bit.
And alas it would seem Rarity will now become something nobody expected to see after all the build up. The voice of reason.
If nothing else Sweetie is definitely showing her immaturity here, the entire world is crumbling around her in her limited world view and so she believes it's the END OF EVERYTHING! Looking forward to seeing how it is resolved.
Come tomorrow's school paper:
Next on T-M-ZAAAAAAY! Our crack team of journalists uncover the most important neeeeews!
DT: Silver Spoon, what you got?
SS: Well I found evidence that Sweetie Belle has started a private nudist club here at CHS.
DT: Shun heeeeer! We must shun heeeeeer! Put that on the front page! The people must know that she's Hitler's niece! Pfft, what, she think she can have a social life and make a positive impact on the school like us? Ha! Loser.
T-M-ZAAAAAAY! Read us, you dumbasses! Read us!
SS:
DT: Silver Spoon, what the heck's wrong with you?
SS: It's just... for a minute, I thought about doing some real journalism. Not ruining every student's image and... contributing something important to this school.
DT: Silver Spoon, pull yourself together! (SLAP) Your job is bullshit! If you don't get me photos of Sweetie Belle possibly running a porn club, who will?!
SS: But... I...
DT: Just swallow your dignity and remember: you have no soul to lose.
SS: .....Okay, I'm good now.
DT: Excellent! Back to work!
T-M-ZAAAAAAAAY! We're really important! Really! We are!
Poor girl... Dumped by momma's lil' jackass, her nemesis' most loyal slave just have e evidence that will destroy all her hard work and at top of that there is still a chance that her sister will not be pleased with the news that Sweetie is nudist. Damn, that was a very hard blow.
Good chapter, I am waiting to see what happens next. And fingers crossed that Sweetie, or her friends, make Button pay. Nudism may be a sensitive topic to most cultures of human society, but that boy deserves a fist breaking all his teeth. What he said was beyond overeacting.
While what Button did was not right, I understand why, he has limited knowledge on the topic, this was just shoved into his face and being a gamer he's been treated to worse for less
I well put this forward again, what silver spoon did is technicaly against the law, just saying sweetie could push it you know, give cheerilee the needed authority to stop the article and threaten the educational life of anyone involved in it.
7639293
okay, seriously Button? Why the fuck would you say that? he better not get redeemed for that. Still holding out for Silver-demption.
7639215 That this is just a nightmare.
Which, despite the ludicrous escalation of events, it likely isn't.
7639215 She finds out that this is a dream?
Yeah Button needs a kick in the nuts.
Hopefully Silver Spoon will do the right thing.
7639353 Would getting smacked by his mother resulting in a black-eye after she reminds him that as a gamer he should know how it feels to be part of the 'outstide' and maybe a hack into Silver's phone help? Also you got to remember gamers have been treated poorly due to guilty by association with many people looking only to some of the most sold games, typically very violent and such, as a reference point to judged
7639198 I highly doubt it... but Rarity might prove she can give Applejack a run for her money as best big sister
7639376 oh I get it
well, that was depressing. Next chapter soon please? Waiting to see how this turns out is going to be torture
7639478 every Thursday
Holy cow, that was a massive mood whiplash from every previous chapter! Seriously, I didn't expect that reaction from Button Mash. He was seriously out of line, and it doesn't seem fitting that he reacted that way, other than to forward the conflict and further kick Sweetie while she was down (almost literally).
I really can't wait until the next part! This was much too short for emotions so heavy. I hope you've got something good to turn this all around!
Can Pinkamena cupcake Button Mash?
Wow you guys really hate Button now....
7639804 I vote for Scootaloo to deck him in the schnozz. Seems like an appropriate response.
7639885
No duh, I mean damn, Sweetie just told him her secret and he reacts THAT BAD. Pretty much dumped and exiled her all in one go, nobody should experience that (that goes for both genders depending on the situation). Here is the way I see it, if your significant other tells you something on that magnitude you should support them. If my fiancée told me she was a nudist, not only would I support her choice, I might join her
7639892
How about a compromise? Scootaloo deck him
then he gets cupcaked...
7639915 You'd be amazed at how easily people misconceive this kind of lifestyle
7639920
((Forgive me for pulling a Twilight with this...))
Now you see, that is part of the problem with today's society, everybody is so quick to judge others without knowing all the facts. If they would do their research about it and EDUCATE THEMSELVES then there will be far far fewer problems in this world...
7639928 Why the hell do you think that groups like the Nudist and Nudity Group here on FimFiction exist?
7639930
In my opinion, to educate others about their particular lifestyle
Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with nudists (sorry if it seemed like I did)
7639953 And i think that's why stories like this one need to be put up, to try to pry people away from the misconception that Nudity = Sex. Don't get me wrong i like clop fics as much as the next guy but let us at least understand some degrees of separation here
NO wait!! I can't wait till next week for the next chapter!!
7639984
I agree with you 100%, I also like clopfics ( in particular) but the seperation NEEDS to be put out there (forgive me for the crappy pun). Nudity doesn't equal sex just like "Netflix and chill" doesn't mean it either (I think it is dumb how THAT has been sexualized).
7640008 to quote asdf, yes you can
7640013 I pretty much exclusively write M-rated stories with sexual content in them. This being the rare exception because it's a collab. Hell, I'd be a liar if I said that I didn't enjoy writing and reading stories with some ~bow-chicka-bow-wow~ in them. But I agree. Nudism, as a lifestyle, is not inherently sexual.
7640077
Glad we agree
I have this amusing image of Button being dragged to the club by his ear to apologize and participate, by his mother. Who also participates. And apologizes for sending half the boys to the bathroom
Alternatively, she bans clothing inside the house and offers it for off-campus parties. Or, you know, just bring your friends over for naked video games, so someone can play them while Button is grounded.
7640129 Dammit i should've thought of that, alright if anyone wants to parody this story please use that idea!
Oh, this is now all riding on Silver's conscience... Not good I must say, but i have hi hopes it'll all turn out for the better. I never expected Button to react the way he did though.
7639187 That's kind of extreme, but I agree Button was out of line.
7640129
i.sli.mg/1PoPfJ.jpg
Sign me for that party!
Honestly, I'm more concerned for Cheerilee. I can't imagine she'd be in good shape legally if her involvement in the club were ever found out...
poor sweetie. button was a dick. lets hope rarity understands and comforts her
7640212 that's a great idea! love it!
7640364 i think she'll be fine but im not 100 percent on that, eveadentely a women can be a sex offender
7639804 that's a little much don't u think!?
Well that's a s&*t ton of emotional baggage to dump on someone in less than a half hour.
7640457
Nope, I do believe there is a such thing as "overkill", but letting Pinkamena handle him would be justice. Hay, she doesn't have to kill him, could just cut off his dick for being a dick himself
7639885 Hate is putting it a bit strong. I just don't like his kneejerk rejection response after what she told him. Especially since she was clearly distressed. Thats the kinda response that makes me want to smack some sense into people. In this case button. Smack him upside the head, then sit him down for a good talk. make him understand what an ass he was just then.
Isn't the proper answer to a confession like Sweetie's something along the lines of 'I don't believe you'?
