Rook takes pawn
Cozy Glow slowly leaned her head out from behind a tree, eyes on the Cutie Mark Crusaders' clubhouse. Grogar had mentioned they were keeping something very valuable inside, some kind of ancient and powerful artifact.
Not hearing any voices, she stepped daintily from behind the tree and approached the clubhouse, remaining well alert for any sign of ponies around. It seemed empty. She climbed up the ramp and looked through a window. There were posters on the walls, shoddy wooden tables and chairs, a couple whiteboards with dry erase markers in the tray at the bottom, scattered boxes of supplies, and a podium with a fake microphone on it. The cutesy, innocent atmosphere inside was thick enough that she could almost choke on it. Regardless, with the coast clear, she pulled the door open and went inside.
"You'll know it when you see it," Grogar had said.
She looked around, seeing nothing that looked ancient or powerful. With no obvious solution, she turned to the boxes of supplies. He had been certain that the artifact would be here, so she wasn't going to give up so easily. Cozy Glow found a box labeled "Dreses" in the nearby corner. As expected, upon opening it, she found a variety of gowns inside, some gaudy as if made for a play, some elegant, designed for special occasions, and a couple that looked like they were hoof-stitched by total amateurs. Nothing seemed to radiate power or stand out, however, so she put the dresses back in and closed the box. As much as she wanted to trash the place and throw things around, she had to be prepared for a worst-case scenario of the fillies showing up before she found the artifact.
She patiently moved to the next box and opened it; this one was labeled "Extreem Sports". Inside, there was some mountain climbing gear sitting on top of a pair of flippers and a snorkel. Cozy glow lifted those things up to find a few bowling pins and a ball. She closed the lid.
The next box, as promised by its label, was full of rubber bands. They varied in thickness and length, and there was even a rubber band ball sitting on top of them all.
Junk. All junk.
Cozy Glow sighed, preparing to move to the next box, when she heard a noise. It sounded like the end of a yawn. She froze, ears perked up, eyes wide and darting about. There was a quiet but noticeable click of a hoof on wood, and she noticed it was coming from above her. Was somepony on the roof? She decided to try to sneak out before being spotted, and crept toward an open window. Suddenly, an orange blur dropped right in front of the window.
"Aaah!" Scootaloo shrieked.
"Aaah!" Cozy Glow agreed.
Scootaloo blinked. "Cozy Glow?" she asked.
"Oh, hi, Scootaloo. I was looking for one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders to ask for help! Thank Celestia I found you!" the manipulative pink pegasus lied.
"Weren't you in Tartarus? For, y'know, being... evil?"
"Yeah, and I felt so, so, terrible. Just awful! Princess Celestia let me out for good behavior, and I promised not to hurt my friends ever again."
Scootaloo didn't look completely convinced yet, eyes narrow. "And Twilight never told us?"
"She's so busy with the school and everything, you know? She's probably going to tell everypony as soon as she can."
"What are you doing in our clubhouse?"
"Golly, I was just waiting for one of you to show up so I could apologize for locking you in that closet and all the other mean stuff I did."
"I see. And why is the rubber band box open?"
"I just needed one to tie my hair. These crazy curls, you know."
Scootaloo's glare seemed to intensify. Cozy Glow's smile held, but small droplets of sweat formed on her forehead. Scootaloo pursed her lips... then broke into a smile. "Well, it's good to have the good old Cozy Glow back!"
"Thanks! It's good to be back," Cozy Glow said, barely suppressing a relieved sigh.
"So, what did you need help with?" Scootaloo asked.
"Well, it's my cutie mark, you see. Ever since I did all those awful, evil things, I wanted to know what my cutie mark really meant. And I need your help."
"Well, that's what we're here for! Don't worry, Cozy Glow, we'll figure it out. The other two won't be open for Crusader duty until tomorrow, though. For now, maybe I can help you."
"Well, I can just come back another time..."
"Nah, let's get started now! Before you turn evil again or something."
"I don't think... I mean, I would never do that. I learned my lesson, and I feel awful. Just... awful!" Cozy Glow twisted her face into a rather believable visage of regret.
"Well, that's why I think we should start now. I mean, if you were waiting here for us, you're definitely not busy with anything else, right?. And I am a Cutie Mark Crusader, so I know how to get started. Come on, it'll be fun."
Cozy Glow found herself nodding. Perhaps she could find out where the powerful relic was being kept if she played along. She could then return at night and steal it while they were out. "Okay, Scootaloo. Let's do it."
"Alright! Now... what exactly is your cutie mark? Some kind of tower thing?"
"Yeah, like a castle tower or something," she said. She was well aware of the significance of her cutie mark, and remembered getting it when she fooled her parents into cheating on each other and breaking up. She knew all about the rook and how useful it was when used properly in the game of chess. Two rooks working together were even more powerful than a queen, and she knew just how to make her pieces move to weave traps and make her opponents make mistakes. Scootaloo was a piece to her, and the princesses were her opponents. She made her first move. "But I don't really think it's a real tower, because I got it while I was playing with some toys, and noticed that one of them seemed old and valuable. Well, it was a little red clay tower I found on the ground. A colt wanted to smash it, but I said no, and took it to my teacher. She found out it was actually an ancient artifact from hundreds of years ago, and when she said I had a good eye for that kind of thing, I got my cutie mark! So, maybe it has something to do with that?"
Scootaloo sat back and tapped her chin in thought, and Cozy Glow waited patiently for her to take the bait. "Well, if it has to do with artifacts, then I bet we should find some more old stuff for you to look at!"
Yes, perfect. Scootaloo had fallen for it. "That sounds like a great idea! Maybe one of these boxes-"
"No, no, we need to go see Twilight! I bet she has some old stuff we can look at."
"No!" Cozy Glow said a little too desperately. "I mean, no, I think I should just practice here! Maybe you have something valuable here and you don't even know it! Besides, we wouldn't wanna bother Twilight with her busy schedule. You know how she is with schedules."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. But all this stuff here is junk. Well, not junk to us, but junk to you. Are you sure you really wanna go through it instead of asking Twilight?"
Cozy Glow nodded.
And so, they began. Scootaloo helped Cozy Glow look through boxes of junk, and it was indeed junk. Nothing seemed to be the object Grogar had been sure was here somewhere. As time passed, the two talked casually, and Cozy could tell Scootaloo was warming up to her quite a bit. She could almost see puppet strings rising up from the orange filly as she felt their bond strengthening. Each box of useless garbage brought memories and smiles to Scootaloo, who told story after story, and Cozy Glow just smiled and nodded, laughing when appropriate.
As Scootaloo talked about her time in the Washouts, she seemed to glow just a little more. The reason for it came somewhat unexpectedly and suddenly to Cozy Glow.
"So Rainbow Dash saved my life, and even though I had a crush on Lightning Dust, I knew she was a bad influence on me," Scootaloo said a little sadly.
"Oh, a crush? You're into fillies? I didn't know," Cozy replied.
"Oh, uh, yeah. I guess I am." Scootaloo blushed a bit and turned her head away.
Cozy Glow saw a chance to get even closer to her target, then. If she could make Scootaloo like her more, she could convince her to remain silent. The fewer ponies that knew about her freedom from Tartarus, the better. If she could make Scootaloo do something embarrassing, perhaps she could make her not want to reveal that they had even met!
"So, did you ever have any other crushes?" Cozy asked nonchalantly, pretending to examine a green and black helmet.
"What? Uh... I mean... a few?" Scootaloo sputtered, caught off guard by the question.
"Yeah? Anypony I know?" Cozy asked, leaning just a tiny bit closer.
"W-well, maybe one..." Scootaloo admitted shyly.
"Oh? Can you tell me who?"
"I..." Scootaloo's cheeks were bright red.
"Aww, it's okay, you can trust me!"
"M-maybe you should, um... guess?"
Cozy smiled, inwardly celebrating. "Somepony I know... hmmm. Is it somepony from the friendship school?"
"Y-yes? Well, no, not really I guess? It... was?"
Cozy scooted ever so slightly closer. "Is she a filly or a mare?"
"A... a filly." Scootaloo looked extremely anxious, like she was close to revealing something. Cozy pressed on.
"Hmm, a filly who was involved with the friendship school, but isn't now. Does she happen to have a light pink coat and blue curly mane?"
There was a small, sharp inhale from Scootaloo that said everything Cozy needed to know. The pink filly scooted closer, until she brushed up against Scootaloo, who was quivering and clearly struggling with a storm of emotions in her mind.
"It's okay, Scootaloo," Cozy said softly, almost a whisper. "I feel the same."
Scootaloo whimpered. "It was... it was before you did all the evil stuff. After that, I didn't. But... but before it, I... I really liked you, and..." she said, and whimpered again as she could not continue speaking.
Cozy Glow leaned her head against the orange pegasus and nuzzled against her with carefully measured affection. "Yeah? And now that I'm good again, do you think it might be back?" she asked, insisting with her nuzzles, wordlessly demanding a yes. And she got the answer she desired.
Scootaloo replied by returning the nuzzles, and planted a small kiss on Cozy's curls. Cozy pulled her head back and looked into Scootaloo's eyes, deep pools of desire behind a veil of hesitation and doubt. Cozy pressed through it with a kiss to Scootaloo's lips, and they both closed their eyes as their mouths melted together deeply, full of need. Scootaloo's body heated up, and her small wings stiffened as she kissed her former-not-former crush.
Cozy Glow's wings flapped slowly as her body grew excited. She could feel her face flush and her nethers swell with desire. With a small moan, she pushed her tongue into Scootaloo's mouth, and it was accepted eagerly. Their two wet muscles wrestled, and they both made happy and pleasured noises as they kissed messily, pressing their faces together.
Scootaloo's hooves were the first to go exploring, and they wandered over Cozy's soft coat, making hair stand up in some places that they touched. Hooves massaged Cozy's sides, her cutie marks, her back and small wings, and her ass. When she felt a touch there, her fillyhood winked, making a small, wet sound against the floor. She reached her hooves around Scootaloo, and explored her in return, moving quickly to the Crusader's own cutie marks and rump, giving them a needy squeeze.
They broke their kiss, panting, and there was a small trail of saliva still linking their mouths.
"I had a crush on you before, too," Cozy Glow lied convincingly. "I... I even missed you while I was locked up."
Scootaloo surged forward and hugged Cozy Glow in what was supposed to be a comforting and reassuring gesture. "Well, you're free now," Scootaloo said.
"Yeah. There's, um... something else I want to do with you, not just kissing."
"M-me too," Scootaloo said. With newly found courage, her forehoof found Cozy's fluffy chest, and rubbed it in circles, slowly moving downward. "You, uh... wanna do that... now?"
Cozy replied by pulling away from the hug and sitting back, holding herself propped up with her forelegs. She slowly spread her hind legs, revealing her moist fillyhood, twitching with need. She was panting and staring at Scootaloo with the clearest body language possible, and Scootaloo certainly took the hint.
She crawled forward and kissed Cozy's chest fuzz, then trailed a tickling line of kisses down, across her sensitive belly (earning a small giggle from her), and finally to the prize: the wet, hot pussy of a horny filly that Scootaloo had a crush on. She kissed it once, then wasted no time in pressing her face against it, the heated juices making a quick mess of her muzzle. She nuzzled at it, heart thundering in her chest, and disbelief at what she was doing fogging her mind.
Cozy Glow moaned aloud. Scootaloo pressed further. She parted her lips, and her tongue parted her partner's other lips. The taste was quite familiar to her, as she had done this before when the Cutie Mark Crusaders had been looking to get cutie marks in lovemaking. She savored it, the sour taste of filly arousal sharp and addicting. Cozy's pussy convulsed and twitched against Scootaloo's exploring tongue, telling her that Cozy was surely finding it pleasurable. Scootaloo thrust her long, wet tongue deep into Cozy's tunnel, running it over the warm fleshy ridges and lapping up the steadily flowing river of fillycum.
"Ah... mmnh, Scootaloo... keep going!" Cozy panted.
Scootaloo obliged, and Cozy was soon thrusting her hips forward, mashing her pleased pussy against the hungry tongue and muzzle of Scootaloo. Cozy Glow's depths suddenly tightened, tensing up as an orgasm took over her mind and body. She squealed as she came, a small wet splash bursting out and onto Scootaloo's face. And Scootaloo moaned as she drank it in, the taste, the smell, the feel, all of it.
After a moment, Scootaloo was still licking, and Cozy giggled as it began to tickle more than please. She pulled away, leaving Scootaloo panting and licking her lips hungrily.
"You're pretty good at that," Cozy said in a rare display of genuine honesty. "How about I try now?"
Scootaloo nodded eagerly. "Heck yeah!" she said, pushing herself up and into the same sitting position Cozy had taken. There was a wet spot on the floor where her horse coochie had been leaking arousal. The little orange-furred slit was now visible to Cozy, who genuinely looked forward to tasting it. The pink filly licked her lips as she crawled forward. She smiled up at Scootaloo, a sultry and teasing look, before letting her tongue slide from her mouth. Still making eye contact, she pressed forward until her tongue contacted the wet flesh of Scootaloo's aroused fillyhood. Scootaloo's eyes rolled back in her head, and she let out a long moaning sigh. "Awww yeah, Cozy Glow, juuust like that."
"Mmmh," Cozy vocalized. She looked down at her present prize, and focused on it. She lowered her head to line up her tongue with Scootaloo's slick entrance, and pressed forward, earning a sweet and cute moan. Cozy's tongue worked in little circles, lapping at every corner of delicious filly pussy it could reach. The small bumps and ridges of Scootaloo's depths became Cozy's own little playground, where she tasted sex and immersed herself in pleasuring her partner.
Scootaloo turned out to either be pent up or generally on a hair trigger, as she came almost immediately. Cozy hummed as Scootaloo squirmed and moaned, her lips and tunnel clutching at the slick invader. Cozy swelled with pride at her ability to make a pony cum, and drank the leaking result until Scootaloo's orgasm subsided.
The two lay on the floor, panting. They spent a minute in silence as they recovered. Scootaloo was the first to speak.
"Wow. That was... wow. You're good at that too," she said.
"Well, gee, thanks," Cozy said. "I've done it before."
"Yeah. Me too. I guess we're both pretty good, huh?"
"I guess so. Nnh, wow. I'm still leaking a little. You wanna go again?"
Scootaloo huffed in surprise. She blinked a couple times as she considered. "Y-yeah, definitely," she said.
"How about we do it like this, this time?" Cozy said, laying on her side and lifting a leg to present her sticky pussy. "Just do this, and we can do each other at the same time."
"Ohh yeah, a sixty-nine! Heck yeah!" Scootaloo said, and shifted to mirror Cozy's position.
The two scooted closer together until their heads were between each other's legs. They got right into it, wasting no time.
Cozy Glow started with a light lick to Scootaloo's clit, having ignored the little bud of flesh before on purpose. She wanted to ensure a second round to really get Scootaloo where she wanted her. Cozy's wet, flat tongue ran over the little pink nub, swollen with arousal, and Scootaloo's fillyhood winked and convulsed, and there was a small groan of pleasure that Cozy felt as an exhale of warm air against her parted and exposed nether lips. She applied a small amount of pressure to her lick of Scootaloo's button, dragging her tongue over it slowly, teasingly.
Scootaloo, her mind abuzz with pleasure from her clit being given so much attention, had been putting off pleasing Cozy's still-aroused fillyhood. As soon as the particularly long lick against her clit ended, she focused enough to attack Cozy in the same way. Her lips surrounded the nub of flesh and its hood, and she suckled on Cozy's clitoris, lacking finesse but making up for it in eagerness.
Cozy moaned out a squeaky cry of pleasure and lapped hungrily at Scootaloo's delicious pussy, mind fuzzy with pleasure, and her complex and manipulative plans were temporarily forgotten. Her whole world became the warm and slick lips and tongue between her legs and the twitching and excited fillyhood before her. She pressed her muzzle in, lapping at Scootaloo's sex, spurred on by every twitch and moan.
The clubhouse filled with the wet sounds of sex and lewd vocalizations of pleased fillies. The air smelled of arousal and sweat. Both little ponies raced to make the other cum first, and both felt confident they could win.
Scootaloo lost, as she was still generally the faster of the two to cum, but Cozy Glow wasn't far behind. Just as Scootaloo grunted out a moan and began to go over the edge, Cozy's own peak was reached, and they eagerly tongue-fucked each other as their climaxes made them squirm and shudder. Both felt some deep need being sated as they drank each other's outpouring of fluids.
As their orgasms died down, tongues flicked lazily against still-swollen labia, but they were both left spent and panting. Eventually, they parted, mouths and crotches matted with fillycum and saliva. They were soaked in sweat and sexual fluids, and both were utterly content.
"Well... that was probably the best I've had," Scootaloo said.
"Mmh, me too," Cozy Glow said, actually feeling like it might be true.
"Can I ask a favor?" Scootaloo suddenly asked.
"Sure, anything for a friend," Cozy said.
"Can you, um... not tell anypony about this?"
Cozy celebrated inwardly. "Golly, I was going to ask you the same thing. In fact, could you not tell anypony I was even here? Not even the other Crusaders? I don't want them finding out. And, if I'm gonna be honest, I really think you can help me with my cutie mark problem on your own."
"Well... normally I tell them everything, but yeah. I can keep this a secret. For a friend," Scootaloo said with a smile. Cozy smiled back.
"Gee, you're just such a swell friend."
"Thanks, you too. Uh... speaking of friends, it's game night, and Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are due back here pretty soon, so... maybe we can work on your cutie mark problem tomorrow?"
"Golly, should I at least help clean up the mess?"
"No, no, let me handle that. Just go back to your family, and meet me here tomorrow at around the same time."
"Okay!"
Cozy Glow exited through the door, and took flight, heading back toward Grogar's hideout. An odd shimmering kind of sound caught her attention, and she looked back at her flank. Her cutie mark was glowing!
It seemed she had really found her true purpose.
