On a train that was heading for Ponyville sat two particular ponies. One was a voluptuous white furred mare with a flowing orange mane and was wearing a blue shirt that held in her bountiful bosom and a pair of black jeans that held tightly to her thighs and bottom. Sitting next to her was a tall, skinny stallion who had on a white shirt with three diamonds on it underneath a black jacket and blue jeans.. He had light grey fur and a indigo mane and tail, his mane in a spiked ponytail and his tail curled.
On the mare’s hand was her cutiemark, two hearts interlocked with a bandage in the middle of them. The stallions was a dark purple gem with a crack in it and behind it was a pair of red scissors. The train suddenly stopped which caused the mare and stallion to stand and grab two sets of suitcases. They then walked out of the cramp train car and started towards the town.
“So where are we heading?” The mare, Tender Care, asked. Tux Belle sat down his suitcase and his horn glowed a lime green and a map popped in front of him and he grabbed it out of the air. He then unravel the map and looked it over for a minute before pointing at a large school house with the words ‘Ponyville Elementary’ writen by it.
“Cheerilee said she would meet us at the schoolhouse she taught at.” Tux said and Tender Care nodded. Tux’s horn glowed once more and the map vanished and he picked up his things once more. They then started to walk down the path that lead deeper into town and soon entered the market. The place was bustling and the two ponies had trouble staying together but managed through.
“Hey their Rarity, what's with the new mane style?” The two ponies turned around to see who had spoken and saw a mare with a purple mane that had a streak of pink through it and her tail. She wore a blouse with a purple vest that matched her lavender fur well. She was also a unicorn and had a pink star as a cutiemark.
“I’m sorry ma’am, you must have me mistaken for somepony else, my name is Tux Belle.” Tux greeted and the mare tilted her head a bit in what he guessed was confusion. She then shook her head and smiled while holding out a hand.
“It’s nice to meet you Tux, my name is Twilight Sparkle but please, just call me Twilight.” Tux smiled back and shook the offered hand. “And who is this.” She asked looking over at Tender Care who smiled and held out a hand that Twilight shook.
“Hello Twilight, my name is Tender Care, Tux’s marefriend.” Twilight nodded and pulled out a small watch and her eyes widened.
“It was really nice to meet you two but I have to get to my library soon! Hope I see you again!” She exclaimed before running down the street and disappearing behind a corner. Tux and Tender looked at each other with raised eyebrows before just shrugging and continuing towards the school.
They soon walked up the school house and kids ran around a playground that was next to the building of learning. They walked down the trail and into the large building and into a classroom. Sitting at her desk was Cheerilee, wearing a simple button up pink shirt and black skirt. On the back of her hand was three smiling daisies and she looked up at the sound of a cough.
She smiled when she saw Tux and quickly ran towards him and brought him into a tight hug. “Tux! Its great to see you again! It’s been forever since I heard from you!” Cheerilee exclaimed and Tux smiled and returned the hug.
“It’s great to see you to Cheerilee. Glad I was able to send you that letter.” Tux said and then turned his head to Tender Care. “And Cheerilee, I’d like you to meet my marefriend Tender Care.” Cheerilee smiled and let go of Tux to shake Tender’s hand.
“It’s nice to meet you Tender Care.” Cheerilee greeted and Tender smiled.
“The same goes to you.”
Suddenly there was the sound of a bell ringing and fillies and colts started to file into the room. “Oh my, I never noticed what time it was. You to can sit at my desk if you would like to stay.” Cheerilee offered and the two ponies nodded and pulled out the two seats that were next to her and took their seat.
“Alright everypony, calm down. Today we shall be learning about the history of Captain Hurricane.” Cheerilee soon sank into teacher mode and started to go on and on about the former Captain and slowly the foals grew bored. Some of the foals glanced at Tux and Tender who were both reading books.
“-And that’s how Captain Hurricane protected Equestria from the Griffon Empire. Now I want everypony ready to leave unless you are staying late for help on today's homework.” Cheerilee dismissed the foals and most of them got up and quickly ran outside.
The only ones left were a some what chubby foal wearing a black shirt and green shorts with a orange mane and scissors for a cutie mark, a tall and skinny filly with a light, pinkish grey fur and her mane was a bright cerulean and arctic blue. She wore a pink bow in her mane and she was wearing a dark blue shirt and lighter blue jeans and had on a large retainer.
Finally there was the little filly that made Tux squint a bit. She almost had the same fur color as his only much more lighter. Her mane and tail were pink and pale purple and she was wearing a simple white shirt and matching skirt. Tux finally shrugged and walked over to Cheerilee and Tender who were talking to each other.
“So Cheerilee, mind if me and Tender help out with this little homework help?” He asked and Cheerilee grew a large smile.
“Of course! Tender, could you work with...Snips and I’ll work with Sweetie and Tux you can help Pearly White.” She instructed, Tux and Tender nodding in understanding and Cheerilee pointed out the students they were to help and the three ponies split up and walked over to their charges.
The filly looked up and her eyes widened a bit as she saw the tall stallion and they traveled around his hair and curled tail. “Hello dear, you must be Pearly White. My names Tux Belle but you can just call me Tux.” He greeted and she grew a shy smile and shrunk down a bit in her seat.
“Its nice to meet you...Tux.” She said with a small lisp from the retainer and her face glowed red. “Sorry, this stupid thing always gets in the way when I talk.” Tux just smiled and pulled up a chair next to Pearly’s and sat down.
“Well I think you sound just fine.” He said with a smile and Pearly gave him a little grin. “Now lets get this homework done so you can head on home.” She nodded and they were hard at work with, quill hard at work and ink slowly draining from its bottle. Soon though they were done and Tux’s horn glowed and a pocket watch appeared and he read the time.
“Well Pearly, looks like we are done and with some time to spare, you can head on home.” He said and his horn glowed once more and the watch vanished. Pearly White smiled up at Tux and awkwardly hugged his leg.
“Thanks a lot Tux, I hope you are here tomorrow!” She exclaimed through her retainer and quickly collected her supplies and ran out of the schoolhouse. Tux watched her leave with a small smile and then looked over to see the other two kids, Snips and Sweetie, walking away from the two adults and outside.
“That was pretty fun.” Tender Care spoke, Cheerilee and Tux nodding with her.
“Come on you two, I’ll show you to my house and you can get settled in.” Cheerilee walked out followed by Tux and Tender. They walked down the trail that lead to the school and turned a corner and soon came up to a simple house with a straw roof and pink walls. Cheerilee walked up the stairs with Tux and Tender right behind her and they were greeted by the sight of a simple living room and a doorway that lead to the kitchen.
“Let’s head upstairs and I’ll show you your room.” Tux and Tender nodded and were led up a few steps and down a hallway that had three doors and were told that one was her room, another a bathroom and the last room was the guest room, their room. She opened the door and they all walked into the room. It was a fairly simple room with a large bed in a corner and a dresser across from it and a window next to the bed.
“This is really nice Cheerilee.” Tender said while smiling at Cheerilee. “Thank you very much Cheerilee for letting us stay here.” Cheerilee just smiled and shook her head.
“No need to thank me Tender, any friend of Tux is a friend of mine.” Cheerilee said with a smile. “Now I’ll let you two get settled down and get to sleep, time flies when you're having fun after all.” She then walked out of the room, closing the door on her way out. Tux walked over to the dresser and and his horn glowed and their clothes floated from their cases and into the dresser.
“That takes care of clothes.” Tux muttered before letting out a yawn. He then walked over to the bed and slowly laid down under the covers. He felt rustling from his side and looked over to see Tender getting into the other side, her shirt gone and a red bra covering her chest. “So what do you think of Ponyville Tender?” He asked tiredly.
“It has a nice charm to it.” She mumbled and her eyes slowly closed, her head resting on his chest. He smiled and held her closely and slowly joined her in the realm of sleep.
Dear Rarity,
While we were in Fillydelphia so I could join in that cooking contest and your father his bowling game (We won by the way), we got word from the Canterlot Institution for the Mentally Ill and you won’t believe who was finally let out!
Your brother, Tux Belle, is finally healthy enough to leave the ward but needs a place to stay but me and your father are always moving around and can’t give him the freedom he needs so we are sending him to a friend of his in Ponyville.
I just know you are as excited as I am that you get to see your big brother, you and him loved to play in the mud or have your silly burping contests. Maybe you two can even go to a club and ‘party hard’ as your pink friend would say.
He will be arriving by train and with him will be a mare by the name of Tender Care, his nurse. Please treat her as kindly as you can and make sure not to mention the ‘incident’. We love you hun and tell the same to Sweetie.
Your loving mother and father,
Betty Bouffant and Magnum.
