Flash Sentry Loves Short Skirts

by Flutterpriest

Trap Explosions

Let’s get one thing straight. Wanting to dress in pretty clothes, wear make up, look gorgeous, and be a beautiful girl, doesn’t make you gay.

That’s sadly where Flash Sentry finds himself on this strange Saturday morning. Well, it wouldn’t be fair to say ‘Flash’. Right now, her name is Felicity. Her hair is carefully parted. She has a gentle, delicate, light pink dress that goes down to just above her knees. And, of course, this was her third week out wearing heels, and her confidence was improving.

There was a lot of words to describe Felicity, but the word she preferred was the word ‘Trap’. She was lucky to have such liberal parents that basically only cared if she got into Stancolts. So, while she went to school and football games as flash, Saturday was her day. Except, there was one really, really big problem.

Sexuality is a crazy spectrum, and one of the struggles for Felicity is trying to find potential partner that are interested in not who she is, but who she is. The major sticking point? She is looking for another she. That’s where her major problem comes out.

Gay Bears LOVE her.

Felicity walks down the sidewalks of Canterlot High, catching her usual double-takes from the students who knew her by a different face. She couldn’t help but feel uneasy. You can train and tell yourself to be confident for anything, but, well.

Not a member of the football team running to catch up to her.

“Hey FLASH!” Norman calls out to her. She winces slightly, frustrated that this is the third week in a row that her preferences were not being respected. She sighed.

“Hi Norman. How are you?” Felicity asks.

“Pretty good. Looking Sexy.”

Felicity took a few steps back, feeling uneasy at Norman’s gradual incline of familiarity and compliments over time. Today was a step too far.

“What do you want?”

“Well, like, I don’t know what you’re doing tomorrow, but I wanted to know if you wanted to grab some dinner.”

“Well,” Felicity said. “It sounds like something nice to do as friends.”

“What?” Norman continued. “No. Like. As a Date. I mean. Look at you. You’re kind of asking for it.”

No. That’s it. This needs to end now.

“Norman, I’d really like for you leave me alone. I’m deeply uncomfortable by your advances and I’d prefer if you would stop.”

“Oh, come on, dude.”

“My name is Felicity.”

“Whatever. It’s not like you’re seeing anyone right now. Come on. It’ll be a lot of fun. I promise I’ll be gentle.”

“Excuse me, young adults,” A feminine voice says, stepping forward. A tall, purple haired woman with pink and blonde streaks in her hair stepps forward. “Sir, I believe the young lady asked for you to leave her alone. Do I need to inform your school staff that you’ve been harassing a fellow student? I’m sure the Dean of Crystal Prep will be sure to get your administration’s attention.”

Norman nodded, stepped away, and jogged back towards the football field. He took a deep breath and turned to the woman. He couldn’t help but find himself short of breath in awe of the beauty of this woman.

“Now, I believe you’re Flash Sentry, but what would prefer to be called?” she asked.

“Uhm, Felicity,” she said to the Dean.

“My name’s Cadance. You look really nice today. Are you feeling alright from that?”

Felicity opened her mouth to speak, but couldn’t find the words to say ‘Yes, I’m fine.’

“Poor dear, I was just on my way to get an ice cream cone, would you like to join me?” she asked.

Felicity’s heart lept in her chest. All she could do was nod and smile.

---

“S-so you’re the Dean of Crystal Prep?” Felicity asked, as Cadance ordered two vanilla ice cream cones and fished into her purse for a few spare dollars for ice-cream.

“Well, yes. But I try my best to make sure we’re accepting of all students no matter what their identity. By students being able to accept who they are, as well as being true to themselves and their feelings, they’re able to perform better in school, build confidence, and even live more enriching lives in the long term.”

“O-oh!” Felicity said quietly. “W-well. I guess I’m just surprised, Crystal Prep was supposed to be reserved and… well. Less open to people… like…”

“Like a star student and athlete?” Cadance says, finishing her sentence. “That’s one way to view things.”

The cart handed the girls their two vanilla ice cream cones.

“The way that I like to view things is that people in the world are more tolerant than they let on. In fact, many people are more progressive than they would even believe. It’s up to those who want something to simply take the step forward and ask for the things they want bad enough. Then, in the worst case? They get a no, as opposed to never knowing what could have been.”

Cadance then examines her ice cream cone, and extends her tongue from the base of the ice cream cone up to the very tip, keeping her eyes directly locked with Felicity.

Felicity could feel the heat tingling deep inside him, and her dress began to grow tight.

“U-um, c-could we sit down?” she asked.

Cadance smiled and nodded.

The two girls sat down and continued to make light banter on the weather around town. Felicity couldn’t help but take a moment to absorb in all of the crazy signs she had just witnessed not only from this gorgeous woman who was significantly older than her, but also an educator at another school! Isn’t this… isn’t something about this not okay?

But Felicity could help but feel calm, and at ease with woman. She felt like herself. No, better. She felt like who she wanted to be every single day.

“Well, at very least, I’m really happy to see that you’re doing better. I probably should be taking off.”

“Uhm,” Felicity said, reaching out to grab her hand as Cadance rose from her seat. “I would uhm. I would like to see each other again.”

Cadance smiled ever peacefully, ever acceptingly.

“In what way?”

Felicity opened her mouth, but the words wouldn’t come.

Dean Cadance pulled out her purse, and pulled out a small card.

“My cell phone is on here,” she said, placing the card in Felicity’s hand and closing it around it. “I hope to hear you soon.

And so the Dean turned and walked away, leaving Felicity smiling, joyful, and hopeful for the future.

This is brilliant.

[Tony Montana]

This story made me straight.

Ha I get it because you said that another story made you gay

[Tango-Raptor]

Good story.

[Harmony Pie]

What exactly is a “trap”? It doesn’t mean transgender, right?

[Grey Rebl]

...But I like this better.

[Flutterpriest]

No. In my experience. It's more akin to a drag queen. But I could certainly be wrong, and would very much welcome the invitation to be corrected if I am.

[MythrilMoth]

This was actually a very cute, sweet little read.

More specifically, a "trap" is an extremely effeminate boy who dresses and acts like a girl (not in a 'drag queen' way but in a completely wholesome, innocent way) to the point where everyone thinks he's a girl and he has guys crushing on him and hitting on him and then they find out there's a penis up under there. It's a term 4chan came up with, and it was created almost DIRECTLY in response to a mid-2000s flood of pr0n of Bridget from the Guilty Gear series:

As an aside, we don't really use the term 'trap' anymore because it has become derogatory and offensive to the trans community.

I was -NOT- aware it had became a derogatory term. thank you. If i knew that, i would have written parts of this differently.

[MythrilMoth]

Most people outside of the LGBTQ and advocacy communities aren't aware of it. I wasn't myself until I was called out on it by a friend. The More You Know and all that, amirite?

Thanks for the explanation, because I was afraid it was being used in a negative way, as it usually is.

[AyanamiRei]

We need a sequel to this!!! <3

[shortskirtsandexplosions]

Gay Bears LOVE her.

That feels like a title in and of itself.

I'm blessed that you did this, even if I wasn't expecting you to follow through. What bittersweet irony that someone besides me would upload the "first Felicity fic." At least it's Flutterpriest.

There are so many ways to interpret the drawings that Twilite-Sparkleplz has done for me. But--once upon a time--the story concept was decidedly NSFW. This feels like some nebulous place in between, and it's certainly done differently than I ever would have tackled it. It's refreshing that--from the get-go--you assign Flash/Felicity the "she" pronoun. It carries a lot of weight.

Also... f'naaaaaaaa... "NORMAN." He must be an alien from an alternate human future. No wonder he's such a jerk.

Thanks for writing this... and thanks for the fantasy fuel with the phone number card at the end. It ended up coming across more hopeful and less dirty.

[HB_DS2013]

He DOES look pretty in a dress, though. In my experience, I'm seeing more men who can pull off wearing a dress.

[Flutterpriest]

That was kind of the goal. It can go any direction from here.

I'll leave it up to you if you write the sequel :) Im sure you could do it more justice than i

[Griseus]

Let’s get one thing straight. Wanting to dress in pretty clothes, wear make up, look gorgeous, and be a beautiful girl, doesn’t make you gay.

It makes you cross dresser. It makes you a trap. It makes you weird. That, is okay. Either be little bitch and run away from yourself or embrace the weirdness. Own it and be true.

Do I need to inform your school staff that you’ve been harassing a fellow student? I’m sure the Dean of Crystal Prep will be sure to get your administration’s attention.

"Seriously, I have drinks with your vice principal every Friday. I'm sure she'll want to hear about this."

In any case, this may be the most wholesome take on the picture there is. Very sweet all around.

[abronie]

Very nice. Was initially confused about why she'd like to be called a trap (I knew the "etymology" beforehand), but your comments make that more clear.

Good story overall.
