Chapter 7: Chapter 6: Branching Out

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

There's only three guys here...

I thought to myself and mentally face-hoofed. I dunno what I was thinking, but I had the notion that this club would be a lot more popular than it apparently was.

The atmosphere became instantly awkward the second we passed through the door and the three dudes looked up at us and smiled.

"Oh!" was the only response I really had. I hope it didn't come across as anything rude.

"Hey, there you are! Come on in and have a seat!" Afterburner motioned us to come over to the table.

"Yeah. I just made some coffee..." Another shyer looking colt looked up and half smiled as he peeked out behind his shaggy bangs that were covering half of his face. I could barely understand what he was saying because he was so quiet.

I started drooling the second I heard "coffee" and trotted over to get some. I was addicted to the stuff. From the sound of it, Lightweight was close behind me, needing some as well.

"Oh wait! You're that new chick everypony's talking about!" The third colt stood up and pointed behind me at Light. My ego instantly assumed he was talking about me, but I was kinda glad he wasn't. He had black fur; a pretty uncommon color among ponies. I had only seen one or two colts with black fur in my lifetime. His mane was maroon, a few shades darker than Afterburner's, but it looked like he had just gotten out of bed by the looks of it.

"Who, me? Why is everypony talking about me?" Light sounded like she thought she was in trouble or something as I sat down, thanking the shy guy for pouring me a cup.

"Because you showed everypony up on the diagnostics, duh." I rolled my eyes at her, a little jealous but still keeping a respectful happy mood about it.

"You made everypony look like kindergarteners out there. Oh, my names Heat Wave by the way. Nice to meet 'cha." He shook Lightweights hoof and I held out mine for a hoof-bump, which he returned as well.

"Oh... I'm sorry- I didn't want to make everypony else look bad... Should I have not done so well?"

"Hey, if you've got it, might as well show it off, right? It didn't bother me, though, don't sweat it." He answered reassuringly as he sat down, messing with his mane.

I took a sip from the coffee and cringed before putting a few creamers and some sugar in.

"But... Angel really did better than me, if you think about it..." Lightweight tried to shrug off the attention and it was adorable, really.

"Aw... Thanks, Light." I hugged her in a friendly manner with one hoof.

"Yeah, she's got some punch in those bolts, doesn't she?" Afterburner leaned back in his chair and stretched, obviously feeling tired from it being so late.

"Um... Weren't we supposed to talk about something important, though...?" The shy one spoke up and brushed his black bangs aside slightly.

"Right. Right. Well, now that we have enough ponies to form an official club- I mean, er... That is, if you two decide to stay- We should start planning some activities. I say we-"

"S- Shouldn't we wait and ask them if they want to join first? It's the polite thing to do..." The shy one cut Afterburner off.

"Nah, don't worry. We've got nothing better to do so I don't see why not. You guys seem cool enough anyways." I responded before remembering that I still hadn't heard his name. "What's your name, though? Lemme guess: ice magic?"

His face turned a shade or two happier and he raised his head up. "Lance Frost... H-how did you know?"

"Eh. I have a bad habit of judging magic based on appearances. Plus, your fur's light blue and your cutie mark is a snowflake."

"Oh... W- Well I guess that does make it kind of obvious..." He smiled bashfully and looked down at the table in front of him.

"Pfft. Everypony does that. No sweat. So uh... Yeah, you in or not?" Heat Wave grinned and leaned against the wall, trying to look as cool as possible but somehow managing to fail miserably. I'm not really into guys anyways, but I'd guarantee if I was, I wouldn't get wooed by anything like that.

"Yeah, we're in." Lightweight smiled cheerfully.

"Ditto." I followed up.

"Cool!" Lance didn't come off as being happy all the time, so it was easy for me to notice that he was truly excited. "S- so, um... What should we do? We should probably do some exercises to work on our accuracy so-"

"Accuracy? Are you kidding, we should be putting all our effort into making our spells stronger. There's no point in hitting somepony if you're not gonna hit them hard." Backdraft countered.

Yeah, but there's no point in even casting a spell if you can't even hit the guy... I thought to myself and rolled my eyes at Heat.

"Well... Accuracy is important too, right? I mean, a spell isn't effective if it misses..." Lance retorted, making my eyes widen at the similarities between our thinking.

"I agree with Lance. We can work on our power once we get our accuracy down." I chuckled a little to lighten the mood. "It's not as if we have four years to work on everything, after all."

Heat apparently decided that my opinion was a bit more important than Lances since he didn't say anything after that.

"Heh. Typical fire mage, huh?" Burnie nudged Heat's shoulder teasingly and it caused him to grin a little, thankfully. With those types, you never know when they'll snap. "But yeah, that sounds like a plan, Lance. What do you have in mind?"

"Um..." He put on a pair of nerdy black rimmed glasses that flattered him a little, and read a few lines from one of his many textbooks on the table. "We should probably study out of these to begin with."

"Huh? Why can't we just go outside and practice for real?" I asked him.

They all looked at each other.

"There is the rec center that has some lanes for practice, but..." Burnie seemed troubled as he said it.

"But...?

"Those Night Society punks always take up the whole place and they don't let anypony else practice." Heat said with a bit of frustration in his tone.

"Night Society? What's that?" Lightweight shared in my confusion.

"Oh, they're bad news. They're a club just like us, but they practice dark magic a lot. I dunno why Princess Twilight lets them do it..." Burnie looked down with a troubled look just like Heat's.

"Have you guys even tried going in there?"

They stayed silent and looked down, Lance pretended to be reading to avoid confrontation.

"Oh come on, what are they gonna do?"

"I dunno... They just... I've heard really bad stories. Like last year, one of the freshmen tried to use the bathroom while their leader was in there and he came out missing a nose. They had to work on him for weeks to grow it back with a spell."

I had dealt with bullies before and whoever these Night Society dudes were, they seemed to fit the profile. Still, I had many ways of dealing with them that seemed to help when I was in highschool, so I wasn't really scared even though they screwed around with dark magic.

"Whatever. I think if we all go in there, they wouldn't bother us."

"Well, you've got guts, I'll give you that." Lance finally spoke up again.

"That's just because she's never seen them before." Heat said; I could tell that he and Lance didn't get along well from their back and forth-ing even though Lance seemed mature enough to not make it worse by coming back at him.

"Oh come on, we can't just let a few douche bags get in the way of us getting better at magic!" I was starting to get a little annoyed at their cowardice.

"Angel is right... I'd be willing to stand up to bullies if the opposite meant us never getting better..." Lightweight surprisingly backed me up.

Burnie sighed. "Okay, fine. We'll go after classes tomorrow. You two might be able to scare them off."

I smiled and leaned back in my chair. I wasn't about to give up on my dreams just because some assholes couldn't understand what sharing meant. I had to laugh a little at the thought of Lightweight scaring anypony off, though.

"S- so, what is our club called? We should have a name, right?" Light tactfully changed the subject to avoid awkwardness.

"We haven't really thought of one, yet." Burnie looked down at the ground and thought as he played around with a small fire spell.

"It was going to be 'Fire-nado' until Lance showed up." I instantly burst out laughing at Heat's proposal. "What?! It's a cool name!"

"How 'bout we all write up some ideas and we'll decide tomorrow?" Burnie got up and packed his things. "I dunno about you guys but I'm really craving a bed right now."

I could've stayed up a couple more hours, but I just had to get out of the habit of getting less than six hours of sleep every night. Lightweight stretched her front hooves over her head and groaned cutely and I couldn't keep myself from staring.

"Yo, Angel, how bout you come use my bed? I've got plenty of room." Heat winked at me and teased. I could tell he was joking and I wasn't prudish enough to get offended by it.

I got up and threw my backpack on. Turned out I didn't need any books after all.

"Nah. Sorry partner, my barn door don't swing that way." I replied humorously with a country twang that I learned from Applejack, another one of my mom and dad's good friends. Lightweight, along with everypony except for Heat Wave, chuckled and laughed as my new best friend/marefriend and I walked out. I tried to give my hips a little swing just to tease him and show him what he was missing out on and based on his silence, I figured he was sitting there feeling jealous as he tried to keep himself from staring at my butt futily.


The faint flicker of the lights from the television hit against our furs on the couch. Neither of us really felt tired when we got back to the dorm and Lightweight insisted that we stay up a little later and have fun since our first morning class together was cancelled for some odd reason.

I eyed the Quest Box underneath the VCR and sure enough, it was the newest model. The crossing swords logo on the side gave it away. Those things were easily six hundred bits, so I had to sit back in awe of how much of a budget C.A.A.M. had to get one of those things in each and every dorm room. That is, assuming there was one in every dorm room and my dad didn't just get us the best and most luxurious room available.

"Hey, you like video games? They got the new Quest Box here if 'ya want." I looked over at her and smiled.

She gasped and looked at where I was pointing and nearly came unglued from the cushion. "Oh my goodness! I never saw that! Yeah, I love them!"

"Sweet. You wanna play some? I think I saw Modern War Battles Five down there."

"Awesome!" She didn't waste any time getting down and reaching underneath the television to set everything up.

"I think it’s set to auxiliary four." I said as I scrolled through the channels. "There's two contro- tro... Llers..."

I got cut off by my heart skipping a beat in my chest. As she bent down, her light yellow colored ass poked up in the air at me and I got a front row seat of her small marehood peeking out between her ass cheeks. My cheeks felt red hot and my heart was thumping hard as I tried not to soak the couch from my girl boner.

"Huh? Two controllers? Yeah! Okay..." She dug deeper and her butt waved back and forth as I drooled, feeling extremely naughty for being able to stare at it for so long without her noticing. "Got it!"

I looked up at the ceiling and tried to take a few deep breaths to get over myself while she joined me back on the couch.

"You alright?"

"Y- Yeah! Yeah, great!" Okay maybe my cover up wasn't the best, but if you saw that ass that I saw... You'd know. "Oh, and just to let you know, I'm pretty good at M.W.B. My k.d. ratio is like two." I puffed out my chest comically and she giggled, trying my best not to give away what I was going through at the moment.

"Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" She stuck her tongue out at me as the screen came on and we began picking our classes.

I always picked the spec ops guy with a magic horn suppressor to hide the sound of his magic and an enchanted skin-tight outfit that could be used as active camouflage. All he had was a crossbow, but he made up for his lack of gear with extra points for enchanting my crossbow bolts.

Lightweight picked the buster mage, which was about the complete opposite of my character: loud and powerful spells everywhere without the slightest hint of stealth or tactics. I had unlocked one of the most powerful buster mage weapons in the game, so of course she picked that after saying "ooh!" when she selected over it.

I picked a map with lots of cover since I knew I'd need some against a buster mage.

"Heh. Better bring your "A" game, Angel!" She nudged my shoulder with hers, but it never really went back. She just leaned on me from then on and it made me feel a little warm and fuzzy inside.

"Oh you know it!"

We both spawned and it only took like five seconds for her to find me; it was before I could even activate my cloaking device when she launched a giant ice spear right through me, one-shotting me. She giggled while my mouth hung open in disbelief. If it were an online game, I would've started complaining about hacking because of how quick she snapped to me and blasted my face.

"Yay!"

Holy shit, she's good...

"Alright, Light! I see how it's gonna be!" I put my metaphorical try-hard cap on and respawned, no longer afraid to hold back under the notion that she wasn't any good.


"Oh shit, oh shit!" I was mashing buttons with the controller tightly wound in my magic, trying to get one last kill to break even before time ran out.

"Five!" The game announcer called out in a masculine bad-ass tone. I spotted Light on the ground below the catwalks I was on and jumped down with my stealth enabled.

"Four!" I knew I only had one shot at it, so I tried not to open fire until I was within range.

"Oh no! I hear you!" She leaned in close and focused, trying to find the slight distortion of vision that was the only thing keeping me from being completely invisible. She shot a couple of explosive rounds on the ground and one of them hit me, disabling my cloaking.

"Three!" Before she had another chance to shoot, I did my best to aim at her head, knowing it would be the only way I'd be able to kill her fast enough.

"There you are!"

"Two!" My reticle moved over her face within a fraction of a second and I opened fire, scoring a headshot and killing her as she brought me to five percent health.

"One!" The game ended.

"Ooohh damn!" I threw myself back against the couch, taking a deep breath from the anxiety.

"It’s a draw! Stand down, mages!"

"Wow! That was really close!" She said happily. I could tell she wasn't suffering from first person shooter butthurt, which was good. I wasn't either since it was impossible to be mad with her even though she was using all the O.P. weapons and skills that usually made me kinda frustrated.

"Woo! That was good..." I set the controller down as it went back to the lobby.

"Yeah, that was fun!" Light did the same.

"I didn't take 'ya for being a first person shooter whiz." I raised my eyebrow at her and chuckled.

"Oh, yeah. My dad and I used to play them all the time back at home. He said it helped sharpen his coordination between his eyes and his magic."

"What?! Your dad played video games with you?!" I sat up in surprise. "Lucky... I wish my dad did that."

"Your's doesn't? I heard your dad was like, really cool with kids." Lightweight tilted her face sideways cutely in confusion.

"Well..." I looked up at the ceiling and thought of him. "He's like me in a lot of ways, so I guess you're right."

"Really?" Light leaned towards me and smiled the sweetest smile she pushed her mane out of her eyes. "Tell me more, Angel. I like hearing about you."

"Oh, uh... Alright." I blushed, not used to the one-on-one attention, especially from a bombshell like her. My eyes were nervously darting left and right to try and avoid hers, but one way or another, they always worked their way back. "I mean, what do you wanna know?"

"About your dad. Or, I mean, how you're like him." She replied, looking a bit nervous herself.

"He's... Kinda quirky, shy a lot of times around new ponies..." I grinned. "Really awkward around my friends. I think he just does that on purpose so he can embarrass me, though."

She didn't say anything at first, she just laid there on her belly holding her head up with her hooves and staring up at me as if I were something to behold.

I kept going. "I would've gotten my mane all blue if it weren't for his genes, but I have a black one with this one blue streak here.” I played with it and straightened it out. “Oh, and I somehow got his really bad sense of humor."

"Oh? What'cha mean?" Light kept smiling and stared up at me, no longer seeming nervous as her tail flipped back and forth slowly, hinting she was interested.

"Geez... Like when we go out to eat and the waitress would say "My name's blah blah if you need me" or whatever, he'd say "what would your name be if we didn't need you?" I couldn't help but giggle at my own joke, or his, rather, but Light cracked up more than I thought she would.

"That's hilarious!"

"Yeah, it's really bad dad humor, but I'm starting to use it too now sometimes, so I guess he's starting to wear off on me." I rolled my eyes and leaned back, delighting in the irony.

"I didn't really think your humor was that corny..."

"Well, yeah... I guess I kinda laid off it since..." I paused, feeling the heat of embarrassment wash over my face.

"Since what...?" She teased and fluttered her long eyelashes at me, obviously sensing my flustering.

"S- Since, um... Since I didn't want to weird you out or anything..."

She giggled and hugged me, rubbing her cheek against mine. "Aw, Angel... You don't have to be so nervous around me!"

"Y- Yeah, I know..." I let her rub up on me and smiled.

She pecked my cheek with her tender lips and before I could question it, she got up and stretched.

"Geez, I'm beat... "

To be honest, her affection made a bit of adrenaline rush through me, so my drowsiness was temporarily overridden, but I figured once I got into bed, it'd come back quick enough.

"Me too..." I stretched my legs as well.

She turned off the console by tapping the power button with the tip of her controller, then headed for the bathroom to brush her teeth. I had a bad habit of not doing it every night, but if it meant not having her have to deal with my bad morning breath, I decided it'd be best to break my habit quickly. I had to cut out as many possible bad impressions as I could while I was with her even though she was just talking to me about not worrying about what she'd think about me.

Then again, not brushing ones teeth and not telling corny jokes were two different things.

Somehow, with her talent for telekinesis, she turned the faucet to the sink even though there were two walls separating them.

"Whoa, nice. You really are good at that, huh?"

"Yup! I kinda learned some stuff by myself for working with my dad."

"Yeah, figures. I guess construction work will do that."

The bathroom was wide enough for both of us to fit comfortably inside it, so we brushed our teeth at the same time as I felt the aforementioned wave of drowsiness wash over me already. Lightweight tied her mane in a ponytail as she did so, probably to keep it from getting too crazy during sleep. I would've done the same, but my mane seemed to look better the messier it was and the more it got teased. I couldn't help but feel lucky in that regard.

I took my turn rinsing my mouth out since I was closer and Lightweight did the same after me while I dried my muzzle off.

"Hey, we don't have to wake up 'till eight-thirty tomorrow."

"I know, right? So awesome..." I pumped my hoof and grinned as I opened the door to the bedroom.

Light giggled and was about to get into her bed, but she stopped and looked at me strangely, as if she had something to say but was trying not to say it in the wrong way. The tiny sliver of light coming from the hallway through the door hit one of her blue eyes and made it twinkle.

"Um... Do you..." She paused and looked down.

"Hm?" I said, getting into my bed and throwing the covers over me.

"C- Can I... Sleep in your bed again...?" Light had the cutest shyest face on her that I couldn't say no to even if I wanted to in the first place.

I grinned and rolled my eyes teasingly, lifting up the sheets next to me invitingly. A wide smile instantly grew on her while she joined me, instantly snuggling up to my side, warming me up and giggling excitedly.

"I dunno if I've already told you, but you're probably the cutest thing I've ever seen."

"Oh, um... Thanks." She blushed and I turned on my side to face her, only to realize that she was doing the same. We stayed there for several moments, just staring at each other.

Out of nowhere, I got over my nervousness and put a hoof around her side, pulling her close to me and hugging her a bit more intimately than most hugs were. Her face was about two inches away from mind and we could both feel each other’s chests thumping hard.

My nose booped against hers accidentally and we both giggled, but it wasn't long after that until Lightweight made the move and kissed me gently. I closed my eyes and let her lips do what they wanted to mine.

She took a deep intake of breath and her body wrapped around mine more as the kiss got deeper and a little more intense. I felt one of her hind legs rest over my thigh and I nearly moaned in anxiousness when her tongue began teasing against mine.

I had to pull back to catch my breath and when I opened my eyes, Light was giving me the most heated pair of bedroom eyes I'd ever seen.

"T- That was nice..." was the only thing I could manage to piece together. I could still feel her front hoof wrapped around my neck and her hind leg resting over my thigh, pulling my waist close to hers, and it was thoroughly enough to turn me on. Though, I restrained myself and waited for her to decide how far she'd be willing to go.

"Oh, really...? You thought that was nice...?" She grinned and kissed the nape of my neck, forcing me to let out a small moan of surprise as my hoof clutched her waist.

I was starting to realize that all her naughtiness that was devoid throughout the day tended to leak out in bed, not that I really minded, of course.

My body was trembling from how excited I was feeling and my fur was starting to stand up as she gave my sensitive neck a tiny lick along with a cute tiny giggle in my ear.

"L- Light... Ahhh..." I was breathing even more heavily then, not even attempting to hide how good it felt anymore. "I... I won't be able to sleep now, you goof..." I grit my teeth when I felt her soft wet tongue slide up against the grain of my fur and tickle under my ear: still one of my most sensitive spots to this day. When she flicked her tongue there, my whole body jolted and my back arched.

"Oh goodness..." She giggled again. "I think I found your spot..."

Oh no... Luna save me... I stared up at the ceiling and let her do whatever she wanted, which I quickly figured out was to lick my ear more.

I let out a few more moans, which just made her want to do it more and eventually, I felt her hoof rubbing gently on my belly.

"If you're too awake... I know a good way that'll make you fall asleep real quick..." She whispered and my ears perked up.
