Black and Yellow

As you wake up you look down to see the slightly chubby mare who was snoozing quietly on your chest. You slide your hoof down her small figure and smile weakly as she twitches a little and lets out a quiet meow in her sleep, you sneakily slip out from beneath her and she lies there on the couch, cuddling a pillow tightly.

You trot off to another area of the house and stretch each hoof out, putting a headset on as you listened to the soothing voice telling you to be at one with your soul, you let out a deep and slow breath. Yoga was good for you since you seemed to constantly be on edge, stressed or annoyed. You listen to each thing that the voice says, stretching out and relaxing and letting your body stretch.

You didn't know how long you'd been going for but the second you turn around you see the sleepy kitty mare staring at you, a dark purple blush on her face as she begins fumbling around and falls over with a loud squeak. You roll your eyes slowly and sigh a little as you trot over and hold a hoof out, she hugs it and helps herself up with it. "What's with the blush? Never seen a mare do yoga?"

She was stuttering loudly as she shyly said to her. "I-It's not that..I-I have..but.." Her voice trails off and she whispers loudly. "But e-every mare I..I've seen do it have a-a nice buuuuuuutt!!" As the small pony says this your blush appears on your face and you let out a gentle laugh, scruffling her mane very slowly as she squeaks. "Well, thank you for the compliment you little pervert." Midnight blushes deeper as she sits on her hind hooves and shyly bats at your hoof.

You smile softly as she does this, the small mare seemed to be acting all shy now that you'd pointed out her perverted innocence. She on the other hoof rolled onto her back innocently and you just calmly smile, rubbing her fuzzy belly nice and slowly as she lets out a few cute meowing noises from it. You giggle gently and nudge her nose and she squeaks loudly, coming off as very shy and adorable also maybe unintentionally perverted.

A few hours later the two of you had gone to school and were now in a chemistry class right before lunch, the small mare was snuggled up to you while you mix two potions together. The teacher who was called Miss Mareson was examining your potion, she was one of the sweet and nice teachers and definitely one of the younger ones in the school. You mix the potion together with a spoon and the blue and red colours mix to a greenish kind of colour, Miss Mareson smiles brightly and seems to be very proud of you. "Very good job Hazel and Midnight! The two of you have made an instant-growth potion, those are usually very difficult to make if not done right! It's not perfect, but it is definitely sellable!"

Inside you feel all excited and happy, although you would never show that in a public area. Instead you just smile proudly and look all prideful, Midnight makes an excited squeal and hugs your arm tightly. "Hazel!! Now we can use that on some pretty flowers!!" She looks up at you with her innocent look and you softly stroke her mane down which instantly puffs back up. "Maybe later Midnight."

She responds to this by nodding quickly, you take a look around the class to see other ponies with failing potions or black charcoal faces. Chemistry was quite difficult if you didn't know what you were doing, luckily these potions weren't dangerous mixing or else the entire school might have been blown up by now.

Your ears perk up as you hear the bell ring loudly and Midnight flaps her wings excitedly and nuzzles up to you. "I'll go get us some food, uhm...salad, right?" She asks you. You respond with a gentle nod and she zips out of the room quickly making excited noises. As the rest of the class leaves you then pick yourself up and go to trot out as you hear someone say. "Hold up Hazel." It was your chemistry teacher. Miss Mareson trots up to you and smiles softly. "Hazel, it's good to see that you and Midnight pay attention in my chemistry class. It seems you two are the only ones who aren't sitting there and trying to muck around." You smile a little more at hearing the praise and you say to her. "Thank you Miss, it's mainly because I enjoy this kind of work, and it's not too hard to get Midnight working as long as I ask her to." She nods softly and moves out of your way.

You walk out of the class to hear a commotion going on in the cafeteria, you get a little suspicious and trot in. As you trot in you see a large crowd surrounding something happening, you hear a voice of a stallion saying loudly. "SEE?! A freak! Not a she not a he?! What is it??" You grit your teeth together and move closer to the crowd to see what was happening, thankfully for your hight you could easily see. In the center of the circle was a teary Midnight being humiliated by one of the school bullies, she was on her back and had was trying to hide herself. "Well?! What are you? Guy or girl? Neither! You're a monster! Your mane glows, you're part cat and you have a DICK as well as a CUNT!" You shove a few ponies out of your way and trot up behind the stallion, towering over him. Your voice was shaking in anger as you quietly say to him. "You leave...her alone..you pathetic pile of scum..." Your hooves shook as you held yourself back from just beating the crap out of him, he turns around with a smug look until he notices who it was. You had one of the most pissed off snarly like faces glaring down at him, he backs up a bit and stutters. "O-Oh l-l-look who it is..i-it's Hazel th-the lesbian..HA!" You raise your hoof threateningly and his face shows complete fear and within seconds he sprints off. You let out a sigh as your anger leaves you quickly, you crouch down a bit and pick up your shaking friend, tears were rolling down her cheeks as you slowly stroke her mane. The crowd slowly backs off and goes back to what they were doing before as if nothing happened and you quickly take her out of the room. Getting her out of the situation as quickly as you could, you take her beneath the stairs and sit her down with you looking at her. "Midnight, what happened?"

She looks up at you all teary eyes as she sniffles a little and rubs her eyes. "H-He made..made fun of me.." You frown a little and say in a stern but concerned tone. "Midnight. Tell me what happened. What he was bullying you about and why he's picking on you." She nodded a little and sniffles again, rubbing her nose. "O-Okay..it started a little bit before I met you..it all began when the year started.."

Midnight was still the exact same in every way. She was trotting through the halls and hummed calmly, trying to find her class. A stallion that she hadn't met before was looking at a map, she darts up to him and nervously say. "U-Uhm hello there mister..can you show me where...C3 is?" He just nods and replies with a 'sure' and points down a hallway to Midnight's right. "Go down there, take the first right, second left and then fourth right and there it is." Midnight nodded quickly as she bows her head politely. "Thank you mister!!" She then darts off in that direction, as she runs off he watches her flank and licks his lips, thinking what a fine rump she had.

Upon arriving to her class she apologized for being late and her teacher told her to forget it but make sure it never happened again. She was sitting there and humming, doing her work like she always did, but not really paying attention. After an hour or so the bell rung for home time and Midnight brought her work up to the front and slides it to her teacher, he nods and motions for her to leave. After she left she was on her way home, skipping down the street happily before the stallion from earlier came up beside her. "Hey there, hold up a sec?" She tilts her head a little and then stops, looking at him. "Yesh?" She asks with her ears flicking. "Hey, uh yeah. You look really nice and such, and erm...you wanna date?" Midnight looks at him confused for a second before cracking up laughing, she laughed for about a full minute before wiping the tears from her eyes. "Hahaha..heh...hehhe..I'm sorry but, I just..Hehehehe.....met you earlier today and I'm sorry but, I'm not really into stallions, but we can be friends if you want!"

While she had been laughing the stallion had frowned slowly and was glaring at the young mare. "It's not funny. Don't laugh at me." She just giggles a little more as she wipes a tear from her eye. "I'm sorry but that was pretty funny, I haven't been asked that before." He had a sudden burst of anger and shoves her, she yelps and falls face forward into a deepish puddle and coughs loudly. He had gotten a look at her rear and was staring at it with a shocked look. "What...the hell..are you?!" She was quiet as a few sparking noises was heard as her mane seemed to have sparks coming off of it occasionally and she looked at him a little afraid. "Wh-What was that f-for..? I just th-thought it was funny.." He moves closer and she backs up a bit before turning around and sprinting away in fear. "You are a MONSTER!!" He yelled after her.

"-..and that's basically how it happened.." Midnight said with a quiet and soft sigh. "He saw I had a dick, learnt I was only into mares..and knows the truth behind my body..." She began softly crying again as she tries to wipe the tears from her eyes. "Hun...just because you're a rare species, a herm. That has a mane that is all glowy and sparky doesn't count for crap. And just because you're part cat and into mares means nothing! It means you're different Midnight. You're a beautiful and kind LOVING mare that cares a whole damn lot about others." You move closely to her and wrap your hooves around her, pulling her face into your chest. "There there..let it all out sweetie...let it aaaaaall out." She lies there against you crying softly as you hear hoofsteps approaching.

You tense up and move closer into the corner, being sort of protective of the small and upset mare. A red unicorn with a rose for a cutie mark pops her head around the corner and looks at Hazel. She clears her throat and asks you directly. "Is..is she okay? I saw what happened.." You stare at her and look down a bit at Midnight who was shaking. "She's a little upset, but, who are you?" She holds her hoof out and says. "The name is Scarlette Rose, Midnights first friend here!" You gently shake her hoof and open your other hoof to reveal the small kitty mare. Scarlette was around the same size as Midnight and she hugs her from behind. "Heeeey Midnight, it's okay sweetie. Scarly is here. No need to cry." She sniffles a bit and suddenly stops crying, she turns around and nuzzles her face into the crimson red mares chest, going quiet. "Wow, she sure likes you." You say calmly and she looks up at you and replies. "Well...I have had to help calm her down a lot, since she can be very emotional. The trick is the make her feel safe, just tell her it's okay, you're here for her and just kiss her forehead, she has no parents. Soooo it sorta makes you seem like one to her, parent her and she becomes quite submissive to you. It's sorta cute." She said smiling brightly.

You nod your head in awe, amazed at how easily she'd been calmed down. "So, do you two have any past relations?" Scarlette blushes weakly and softly says. "Well...yeah, the two of us used to date, she was my first and I was hers...though I got harassed a lot because of it..she didn't like seeing me upset and called it off...I understand why, but I could see the hurt in her eyes, she tried to hide it by setting me up with another, whom I'm with to this day...but, I've caught her all zoned out quite a bit since it happened..she holds too much burdens.." You nod a little and sigh a bit as you stroke down the fluffy mares coat slowly.

"She does seem to take things too roughly at times..and for what? To just get hurt more." Scarlette shakes her head a little and says. "Well no, it's more so you don't take any or much of the hurt, she learnt from her parents. Take care of your friends and family, they're the most important people in your life." You nod in agreement at this as you hear the bell for the end of school, that's the second day in a row you've skipped some of the day. "So, should we take her home?" You ask. "Yeah, she's a little heavy, would it be alright if you carried her?" You nod a little and allow Scarlette to put Midnight on your back, you slowly stand up and begin trotting out as the sleeping mare lies on top of you, all snuggled up tightly. "She lives with me since she has nowhere else to go." Scarlette says as she leads you to her house, it was a nice baby blue colour and had roses and flowers in most areas of the house.

You take in the wonderful and relaxing scent as you walk in behind her, she leads you to the only bedroom in the house and you slowly lay Midnight down on the queen sized bed. Scarlette just smiles softly as the two of you exit the room. "Would you like some tea before you go?" She asks politely and you smile thankfully and respond with. "I am very grateful for the offer but I have to head home quickly before my parents start freaking out." You say with a sigh and slowly roll your eyes. Scarlette nods and gently shakes your hoof before you leave.

"It was a pleasure meeting you Miss Hazel." You shake hers back and respond. "As it was meeting you." After you leave you jog the rest of the way home, sneaking in and avoiding your parents to go into your room. You sit down on your bed before lying down and snuggling up to the pillows. "Hm..weekend tomorrow...that'll be fun.." You whisper sarcastically as what Scarlette had told you about Midnight was on your mind, you yawn a little before shutting your eyes and falling into a soft sleep.
