Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom walked to work and saw that Snowflake was now a bouncer for the Pinkberry Strip Club. "YEAAAH, I mean, whoa girls, I'm afraid I can't let you three in here." Snowflake said.
"But we're the main attraction..." Applebloom bragged. Snowflake laughed.
"YEAAAH. And I'm going to break into song right here." he laughed even harder.
"IRON WILL!!! SNOWFLAKE WON'T LET US IN!!!" Sweetie Belle screamed.
"Snowflake, let em in." Iron Will said as he kissed his muscles. Snowflake did as he was told and let the three fillies in, confused as to why small fillies would need to go into a strip club. "Hey, Iron Will, I'll be in the back teaching Applebloom and Scootaloo." Sweetie Belle said to the beefcake minotaur. "Alright, girls. just remember... Stay sexy!" he said.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders went into the back room marked 'Employees Only.' Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo stared in awe at the great plethora of poles, ropes, chains, whips, and other things lining the shelves and walls. Sweetie Belle found a decent practice pole in the corner of the large room that Applebloom and Scootaloo could practice on.
"Alright, girls..." Sweetie Belle said. "I'm gonna teach you girls how to dance. It requires passion, heart, soul, and skill. If ya don't got any of that, I'm not afraid to have Iron Will take your job away from ya. Am I clear?" Sweetie Belle finished.
"Yes s-sir, I mean mam." Applebloom stuttered, giving a military salute.
Sweetie Belle went up to the pole and demonstrated a couple of simple but arousing moves and positions. "Alright Applebloom, you go first." Sweetie Belle said. Applebloom tried to repeat what she saw, but she failed on the splits. "You got all of em but the last part." Sweetie Belle said. Now try that last one again. Applebloom tried again and failed once more. "A little better... Try it one more time..." Sweetie Belle said with a little enthusiasm. Applebloom tried once more and finally got it right.
"Alright Scootaloo, try these." Sweetie Belle did a different set of moves and poses that were a little more complex and difficult, but Sweetie Belle thought Scootaloo could handle them. After all, Scootaloo was athletic. Scootaloo got them all right on her first try. "Great! You two are ready to dance for the stallions out there!" Sweetie Belle said with amusement.
"One of us is bound to get our Cutie Marks." Applebloom said.
About two hours later, it was their turn to be in the spotlight. Sweetie Belle was the first to step up to the middle of the three poles, with Scootaloo on her left and Applebloom on her right. All three of them started with the same move, a short twirl, Starting with Scootaloo, then Applebloom, and finally Sweetie Belle. Next, they each started doing their own things. They made a spectacular show and even stylishly switched poles from time to time. Applebloom even went a few steps further and lifted up her dress showing her yellow-brown marehood to the stallions at one point. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo saw this and followed suit. This made the stallions, Iron Will and even a few mares who were tending to the bar, including even Trixie, cheer and roar louder.
The show was over and the girls were excited to hear from Iron Will. They waited about ten and a half minutes until Iron Will finally found them. "THAT was amazing... I've never seen such passion... such sexiness in all my life... besides myself of course. Keep it up, girls" Iron Will said as he flexed his amazing muscles. They took the message as "Applebloom and Scootaloo can stay."
The three of them split up their large earnings equally, each going home with an astounding two hundred and seventy two bits each.
Applebloom walked all the way down to Sweet Apple Acres and Scootaloo flew on up back to Cloudsdale. Both of them had two things on their minds: They would get to work with Sweetie Belle and they would be making a ton of money easily.
Sweetie Belle took a detour home going past an ice cream parlor and picking up an ice cream. After all, she deserved it. She walked up to the Carousel Boutique and stopped at the doorway. Something white caught her eye. It was a note, apparently written by Iron Will.
Dear Sweetie Belle,
Fantastic work! you and the other two really put up an astounding show tonight. The other mares need to be more like you three. Please, don't let me down.
Your boss, and by far, the best minotaur in Equestria, Iron Will
Sweetie Belle took the note into her bedroom and gently put it under her pillow. She lay down on her soft bed as she think of what might happen tomorrow. Until then... she needs sleep.
Later that night at about twelve o'clock, Sweetie Belle was awakened by a tapping coming from outside her bedroom window. Applebloom and Scootaloo were outside her window. she hurried outside, quietly, so as not to wake up Rarity, to meet her friends. "What are you two doing here at this time of night?" Sweetie Belle asked tiredly.
"Sorry to wake you up so late into the night Sweetie Belle. We just came to tell you that neither of us got our cutie marks tonight." Scootaloo said quietly.
"Oh well." Applebloom said reassuringly. We'll find em another day some other way." she continued. "After all, it helps simply narrow down the possibilities."
"Well, Bye Sweetie Belle." Scootaloo and Applebloom said as they headed back home once again. Sweetie Belle silently went back to her bed and got back under the covers and drifted off to sleep once more.
