Everyone Can See It

Littlepip woke up in bed, hearing the cries of Balefire Phoenixes outside of Tenpony Tower. She stretched, getting feeling back into her legs, “Now that was a great night’s sleep…”

“Ayup…” A familiar voice said. A familiar male voice.

The little unicorn jumped out of bed, “C-calamity?!”

Rising from her bed was her best friend, a Dashite with impeccable aim. He rubbed his eyes, “Littlepip, what are ya doing in my bed?”

“What are you doing in mine?!” She cried out, “Where’s Homage?”

He frowned, “Ah don’t remember… What about Velvet?”

Littlepip was already getting dressed, throwing Calamity his hat, “I bet this was just a silly prank of theirs. Come on, lets get this over with. We’ll let them laugh a bit, and go back to the way things normally are.”

“As in, letting Homage ride your-?”

“Come on,” Littlepip glared, walking out with the drowsy pegasus behind her.

A short walk down the hall brought them to their friends. The two sat at a table together, having breakfast. On one side was Homage, the DJ of Tenpony tower and Littlepip’s marefriend. On the other side was Velvet Remedy, singer and childhood crush.

“You two are up early,” Homage smiled, “I didn’t expect you for another hour.”

“Yeah, yeah…” Littlepip frowned, “Laugh it up, you got us.”

Velvet frowned, “What do you mean?”

“Pip means bringin’ us to bed together,” Calamity explained.

There was a short silence as the two mares gave confused looks to each other. Littlepip groaned.

“We know it was you two. We woke up together in the same room.”

“Why wouldn’t you?” Homage asked, “You two make such a sweet couple!”

“What?!” Littlepip and Calamity said together, earning a knowing smile from the two mares. “No, no, no, no, no! We are not a couple!” Littlepip assured.

“You seem like it to me,” Velvet grinned, “Finally got over your crush on me, its so cute!”

“Not true!” Littlepip stopped suddenly, blushing as everyone leaned in, “I mean, uh, I’m with Homage!”

Homage rose an eyebrow, “Sweetie, you’re cute and all, but you and Calamity just fit so well together!”

“I’m gay,” Littlepip said dryly.

“That’s never stopped you before,” Velvet took a bite into her waffle.

“Velvet, don’t tease her,” Calamity warned.

“Hey, you don’t have to stick up for me!” Littlepip whined, “We’re not dating, we’re not together, and we never will be! …No offense.”

“None taken.”

Velvet suddenly grew a big grin, “Oh, I know what this is really about!”

Littlepip smiled, “Now do you see?”

“Yes!” She clapped her hooves together, “You just wanted a threesome! I’m flattered, really!”

Littlepip felt her face growing hotter, “N-no! I mean, just us!”

“Wouldn’t want your coltfriend to have some fun?” Velvet asked, “That’s not very polite, Littlepip.”

Littlepip groaned louder, ears pressed against her head, “T-that’s not what I meant…”

“She’s not mah type,” Calamity said simply, “No offense.”

“None taken,” The DJ unicorn assured.

“Oh…” Velvet nodded, “I suppose I can understand that.”

Littlepip looked around, “Guys, we’re not dating. We’ve never been dating. Its just… a bad dream or something!”

A deep voice came from behind them, “I’d have thought it was the perfect dream,” Steelhooves noted. He stood out in the room with his steel armor, “I thought you wanted a big stallion all your life?”

“Emphasis on big,” Calamity said proudly.

“I’ve seen bigger,” Steelhooves noted.

“YUCK!” Littlepip held her head, “Stop! I have never wanted a stallion, and I don’t want to know their sizes either!”

“…I just meant their body sizes,” Steelhooves sounded creeped out, “Way to turn this into a weird conversation.”

“Every conversation with Littlepip is a weird one,” Homage giggled.

“Ayup,” Calamity confirmed, “But she is right. Either you guys are trying to trick us, or something has changed your memories. And since Steelhooves would never play a joke to save his life, ah think its the former.”

Littlepip nodded slowly, “Thanks Calamity… Except for that first part. But we need to get serious, and find out what’s going on with us.”

“Now that you mention it…” Homage noted, “There was a strange pony asking for you last night, Littlepip. One I have never seen before.”

“Was it another fanfilly?” Littlepip groaned, “How did they even find out I was here?”

“No, it was a stallion. He’s actually joining us for breakfast.”

“Speaking of breakfast, there is a huge line for the pancakes. Talk about cruelty,” A huge stallion with tattoos over his body and armor that covered from his hooves to his neck walked in. His horn was glowing with a huge plate of pancakes. “Oh… Are you in the middle of something?”

“Who are you?” Littlepip frowned.

The stallion took a bite from his pancakes, then bowed to her, “Deathstroke, follower of Red Eye.”

“Red Eye?!” Littlepip jumped back. Everypony else moved into fighting positions.

“Calm. I am only here to grant you two messages,” He said, “I am not here for a fight.”

Littlepip glared at him, “Okay, what are they?”

He coughed, “Red Eye has ordered me to travel the wasteland to say…” His voice went up an octave, “That, oh my Goddesses, you and Calamity are soooooo cute together.”

“What?!”

“Also, the alicorns caught me here and have requested me to tell you that you and Calamity are utterly adorable. The Goddess only wishes that you two would show your love for each other more often.”

As Littlepip stammered at a complete loss for words, Deathstroke turned to Homage, “May I keep these pancakes for the road?”

“Help yourself.”

“Much appreciated,” He took a big bite, and began heading down the stairs.

“…That was odd,” Calamity noted.

“Odd? Odd?!” Littlepip gasped out, “This is insane! This makes no sense! I did not expect to just wake up one morning with all of the wasteland completely out of its mind!”

“Or at least more out of it than usual,” Calamity agreed.

Velvet took another bite of her waffle, “I still say you two are cute together, and everypony can see it. Your best friends and mortal enemies. You should just accept it.”

“I am gay!”

As the ponies around her shrugged, a newcomer came into the breakfast room. Life Bloom was holding a pancake, gasping for breath, “Thank goodness I found you all!”

“What’s wrong?” Homage asked, “Did the radioactive tigers get loose from the Manehatten mall?”

“Worse,” He turned to Littlepip, “I’m really sorry, but the Twilight Society was experimenting with a new spell, and we accidentally cast it on you.”

“Did it make everypony think Calamity and I are dating?” She rose an eyebrow.

“Well… Yes. Good guess,” He looked them over, “Actually, you two are pretty cute together.”

“Just fuck already!” Homage cheered.

Littlepip glared with the intensity of a Balefire Bomb, “You better fix this. Now.”

“Y-yes… It should be fixed within the hour,” He explained, “Just try to relax until then.”

Littlepip sighed, “Thanks… See guys, we aren’t dating. Just a stupid magic spell.”

“Oh don’t worry, ah don’t need a spell to love you,” Calamity gave a suddenly knowing smirk, then winked to Velvet.

Littlepip sunk to the floor as the entire room burst out into laughter.

Author's Note

This is it! The beginning of Infinite, which will be filled with many different short stories of varying lengths, themes, moods, and characters. This story was suggested originally by Chris-da-Griff. Future stories will include characters from other FO:E side stories, as well as original works so there is something for anyone. Also, readers are encouraged to suggest prompts, themes, and ideas for future stories. While it doesn't guarantee that they'll be made, I'm always looking for new prompts.

Finally, to celebrate this project beginning, I intend to upload a shot story each day for the first week. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy.
