Clothing Nightmare on Nightmare Night

Rainbow Dash pushed open the door with Applejack and both felt the chill hit their skin again. It hadn’t dawned on them how much warmer it was in the school building when they entered earlier! But as they stood outside in the autumn breeze it became quite clear to the girls standing there in running paint that the cold was not their friend. Both girl’s nipples stood out almost like targets on their torso, stiff enough that they felt like everyone might be staring even as they walked down the steps. That walk though was the only measure of safety they took before they started sprinting.

Both butt naked teens felt the breeze begin to bother them less as they started to run; Rainbow Dash feeling immensely more comfortable almost instantly as she stared back at Applejack and her heavily bouncing rack. Rainbow Dash couldn’t help but snicker a little as she saw the discomfort it caused AJ, grinning. Maybe her own smaller leaner chest wasn’t so bad if it spared her that kind of back pain. “What’s the matter, Applejack? Can’t keep up?” She questioned, turning to run backwards like this was any old race between them.

She inadvertently of course wound up flashing AJ, but that didn’t really sink in to the orange skinned girl as she instead focused almost right on Rainbow Dash and her smug face. “No, just enjoyin’ the view back here before I give you a look at mine,” she challenged familiarly. That kind of taunt was pretty normal between them when they raced; although usually they both had something on top of their asses that covered the ‘view’. She pushed herself a little, breathing heavily as she felt the blood pumping. Warming her up as she even went as far as to nudge Rainbow Dash a bit with her arm as she passed her!

Both girls knew their target was Fluttershy’s place. It was really about the only place in town that NOBODY would show up or be except for their timid friend. People didn’t even bother hanging around her neighborhood except for the initial candy hand-outs. Though as they were racing Applejack saw the cross walk they need to turn onto to get onto Fluttershy’s street. The lights were in their favor as the cowgirl, still in the lead, shifted her body-weight to slow herself down. Her boots dragging into the ground with a slightly noisy screech. She had been about to kick off again when she felt it.

Rainbow Dash smacked her right on the ass, “Ha ha! Nice way to drop your speed, Applejack!” she taunted as she swung right passed AJ and grabbed the street light itself. She watched as the girl gripped it and used it to swing herself around like a sling shot! Applejack stood there mouth agape, knowing too well there was probably a violet hand-print now stuck smeared on her ass. That didn’t matter as much now though as she charged after her like a bull on Hearts in Hands day.

Applejack sped up to try and catch up to Rainbow Dash again as they saw, with relief, how empty the street was. It was like this whole spot was just made for them to show up and run down it stark naked. Though the fact that the Nightmare Night’s worst fan lived here might help to explain it as they saw the way the windows were tightly shut. The door probably barred, bolted, and chained. Not to mention the spot light that Rainbow Dash charged right under, throwing her arms in victorious self-adulation. Bouncing a bit on the spot proudly, apparently forgetting that while she was small; she still had breasts that bounced with the hopping in place.

Both girls were hardly short of breath after that run. They’d endured harder races though they could both use a drink. And as another sharp breeze hit their chilly back-sides, something WARM to drink began to sound even better. Applejack joined her friend in moving under the bright spotlight, able to easily see just how much more paint had run off of them. There wasn’t a speck of paint left on ‘the goodies’. But still, “Heck if that wasn’t a race to remember,” she finally decided to speak up with a smile.

It was met with Rainbow Dash smirking quite proudly at herself as they walked up to the porch, both girls riding the brief adrenaline rush all the way to the door-bell. It rang out and instantly the high started to run down. The girls looked out across the street, as if expecting someone to come out to check on that sudden doorbell on the almost deadly quiet street. But nobody did, leaving Rainbow Dash and Applejack to stare mournfully at the door even as they started to hear noise on the other side. Clicks and clanking and chinking with a few noises that sounded like something out of a spy movie, before the door opened only a sliver.

A single large a little droopy eye stared out, “H-Hello? Oh my, Rainbow Dash? Applejack? Wh-what are you two doing here?” She questioned, concern obvious in her voice. “Is there an emergency?” They could almost hear the hesitancy and anxiety dripping off Fluttershy’s voice. If there was anybody that didn’t want to be out on Nightmare Night more than the two nudes right now it was her. A fact which offered them at least some mild relief. “I didn’t get a text from twilight or anyone,” she pointed out.

“Uh, it ain’t exactly anythin’ that bad, Fluttershy just,” Applejack looked and realized she and Rainbow Dash had both without thinking started to cover themselves a bit as they saw that gently staring eye lock on their faces. She didn’t even seem to think of looking down below the necks, which only made it more awkward for them. “Well, me an’ Rainbow Dash, we both were kinda pressed fer time when we realized we didn’t have costumes ready.”

“You mean you couldn’t just go out in an old costume, or something?” Fluttershy questioned in an innocent way. “Eep! Wh-what’s that?” She heard Fluttershy demand as a dull angry thud started to resound. Applejack swung her arm out and smacked Rainbow Dash clean on the derriere, leaving a similar present as she’d gotten earlier.

“It’s jus’ Rainbow Dash beatin’ herself up fer not thinkin’ of it. Believe me, ah am too. Just…we both had an idea, each on our own mind you, and turns out these ideas didn’t exactly pan out, so-“ she was suddenly cut off as Rainbow Dash shoved her way into Fluttershy’s field of view. She briefly started the poor pale yellow girl who stared back at them nervously.

“Ugh, quit beating around the bush already Applejack! We were both stupid and thought painting ourselves up to look like we had costumes would work and it didn’t! Now the paint’s running and we’re basically naked out in the middle of the street! Can we please just come in already?” Rainbow Dash pleaded directly at the timid girl. Applejack of course felt a wave of relief and anxiety as the blue girl explained their predicament so callously to Fluttershy. Applejack was an honest sort, but even she knew how to broach a subject gently when it was called for. She was already counting down in her head, waiting for Fluttershy to faint in shock. Five, four, three, two, and one.

Instead of a thud though she’d of course hear a scrambling of locks and pieces and soon see as their friend did the unthinkable. She opened her front door on nightmare night. They saw her peeking around it shyly, in true Fluttershy fashion as she gestured for them to hurry inside. “Quick, get inside…you two must be freezing. And that paint really is running so badly. You need a nice warm shower and some tea right away,” they would hear a little scrambling behind the door Fluttershy was hiding behind.

Didn’t matter to either of them though as Applejack and Rainbow Dash stormed in and grabbed the door from Fluttershy. They pressed their bare bodies into it and slammed it loud enough to make it sound like a gun-shot had been fired. “Whoo! We can’t thank you enough, Fluttershy. Swear, few times ah nearly jumped outta ma’ skin expecting’ to get picked up fer indecent exposure an-“ she stopped as she saw Fluttershy standing there, having apparently dropped something. Lying at Fluttershy’s feet was a big thick fluffy white bath robe. A glance upwards though left her staring at the silky smooth canary yellow skin of the Nightmare Night-phobic girl. Though she did stop briefly at the tuft of pink stuck over her lap before doing her best to go back up to her face. Which of course was nearly pink as her hair. “Fluttershy? Me an’ Rainbow Dash just did somethin’ really stupid. So why are you naked?”

Rainbow Dash stared in obvious shock as well at their friend, but seemed to recover a bit more quickly than Fluttershy was as she stammered, “Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Fluttershy has a boy over!” She almost screeched in an excited loud whisper. Obviously impressed enough to completely forget about her own exposed state as she asked, “Where is he? Were you two in the middle of anything when we showed up?” Her questions seemed to at last get Fluttershy to shake her head and catch herself.

“I-It isn’t a boy, Rainbow Dash. Let’s get you two into the shower and I’ll explain, okay?” Their pink haired friend collected her bath robe and threw it on over herself. She then started to lead them upstairs with Rainbow Dash smirking as she whispered that she bet Fluttershy was ‘fooling with herself’ when they arrived instead. Applejack had a hard time telling how serious Rainbow Dash really was, but as Fluttershy showed the two girls to the shower where they could wash off their sorry attempts for costumes she didn’t really care.

Time passed as the two were allowed to rinse off in the shower, washing away the paint down the drain. At least the labels hadn’t lied about any of that. But as Rainbow Dash and Applejack stood together under the rather large shower head they knew Fluttershy was sitting out there humming to herself like nothing was wrong anymore. “Uh, Fluttershy? Still haven’t explained the whole ‘naked at the door’ thing,” the blue girl finally decided to point out as she tried to rinse the paint off her forehead without it getting in her eyes with the soap.

“OH, I’m sorry,” Fluttershy apologized sweetly. Apparently genuinely embarrassed about forgetting to fulfill her promise. “It’s kind of a long story, but the simplest way to put it is that I’m a nudist. Since I live on my own, it’s not like I have to worry about my parents walking in on me,” she admitted. Fluttershy was actually the oldest; almost a year older than Pinkie. Ironic given she was so lean, lanky and skinny that she looked almost sickly.

“Fluttershy? You mind givin’ us the long version and an explanation before Rainbow Dash makes any more inappropriate comments?” Applejack requested, shoving an elbow into the lean blue girl’s ribs earning a solid yelp of pain. The shower especially large to accommodate bathing larger critters and animals she might watch after in her personal time.

“Certainly, Applejack. You see, it actually started last Nightmare Night, of course before I moved out from my parents,” she explained. The two girls in the shower seemed content to allow Fluttershy to tell her story without interruption. The warm showers over them helping to ease any real sense of impatience they might have had. “I was enjoying watching movies with Angel and a few other little animals. Of course nothing scary,” she added.

Rainbow Dash couldn’t help but laugh, much to Applejack’s chagrin, “I-I’m sorry, ha ha ha! It’s just you say that like we don’t already know! Aahh-hahaha!” Rainbow Dash’s cackle was a little infectious as Fluttershy started to giggle and even Applejack had to admit she had point. “Sorry, really sorry, go on!”

“As I was saying, it was actually going quite nicely. Better than most actually,” she confessed with a clear pleasure over that fact as she remembered last year’s nightmare night. “But I heard a tap at my window. I tried to ignore it but then it came again. And again. I didn’t know what it could be and got scared. Angel didn’t seem to want me to bother with it, but I did. I didn’t see anything at first when I moved the blinds but then a werewolf jumped in front of my window!”

“What?! No way! What kind of a creep would jump out and scare you like that?!” Rainbow Dash demanded in an obvious outrage, only to give a brief shriek as she got soap in her eyes. She started to furiously rub at them as the water came down over the two naked teens. While Rainbow Dash did that Applejack moved to get a bit more under the showerhead, working to get paint out of a less than convenient region.

“Rainbow Dash, pretty sure that was you. Remember? You wanted us all to go as classic movie monsters?” Applejack pointed out bluntly. Rainbow Dash’s cheeks went pink as her stinging eyes and Fluttershy’s hair. A brief apology was muttered in obvious shame for that turn of events.

“Oh it’s no problem, Rainbow Dash. I know you didn’t mean to scare me. You were checking up on me to see if I wanted you to bring me back anything from the café. I told you I was okay, only…I wasn’t entirely okay. You see while watching the movie; I was drinking a lot of tea. I hadn’t thought to go to the bathroom and you, um,” she trailed off anxiously. Applejack and Rainbow Dash could imagine Fluttershy’s shame and embarrassment at admitting to that.

“It’s all right, Fluttershy. Ain’t nothin’ to be ashamed of. Full bladder and a bad scare don’t mix fer anyone,” she offered reassuringly. Rainbow Dash merely murmured her agreement, though Applejack suspected Rainbow Dash felt a little proud of having been the one to scare her so bad she DID pee herself.

“Anyways, I needed to change but I’d forgotten it was laundry night. All of my good clothes were dirty and so…embarrassing as it was, I had to strip down right there in the basement and start my laundry without anything on,” she admitted. As she finished that portion of her tale, she actually sounded almost prideful. Even a little impressed with herself at having the guts to go ahead and do that. Neither had the heart to point out that it wasn’t that impressive to strip down in your own home when you were JUST doing laundry.

“I was sitting on a chair waiting on my laundry when Angel hopped in my lap. He was so soft and cozy. I honestly never noticed how nice his fur felt in my lap before, so I let him stay there while the washing machine worked. It was so peaceful. I started to think I could just spend Nightmare Night down there with Angel doing laundry,” she explained. Her cheeks were glowing pink not that either could see as she admitted, “Until I got hungry.”

Rainbow Dash moved back in front to start scrubbing out her tender region; listening as she blinked the soap out at last. Even if her eyes still stung she could finally see what she was doing again. “I felt so nervous. I swear it felt like my parents could come back at any second when I snuck into the kitchen to make myself a sandwich. Only when I had that made, Angel started looking at me too. I realized he must have been hungry and made a nice salad. I think I woke up a couple of the birds though, and Mr. Squirrel as they came out too. I couldn’t help myself but fix everyone something to eat. By the time I was done I’d actually forgotten I was naked and sat back down to enjoy our movie in peace again.”

Fluttershy’s explanation sounded like what they’d expect of Fluttershy. Too caught up being the kind loving girl she is she forgets pretty much everything else. It was probably the only reason she didn’t question them or refuse to let them into her home like that. “It felt so nice with all the animals cuddled up against me. I still leapt back downstairs when I heard the washing machine go off. Though I did need to stick them in the dryer first, so I wound up staying naked until I went to bed. Rarity kept telling me how nice my sheets felt, but until I was lying on them like that, I guess I never really noticed for myself. I fell straight to sleep.”

The shower finally stopped, Rainbow and Applejack helping double check they’d gotten everything out and off. Naturally though, in spite of spending the night thus far naked with each other and how Fluttershy had already seen; they still reached out to grab their offered towels without stepping out. It wasn’t long before the naked blue and orange girl, cleaned of paint, were standing in the bathroom with the bath robe clad yellow one. “Fluttershy? I get how you might have gotten started on this, but one night doesn’t exactly sound like it’d be enough that we’d find you butt-naked like we did.”

Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement. Fluttershy though shook her head, “But, well, that’s just it. It wasn’t only one night. I woke up and actually felt quite refreshed. At least I did until I remembered I was naked. Of course I ran downstairs and got dressed. Thankfully my parents were still sleeping in after coming home oo. Anyways, I went to school and met with Sunset Shimmer,” she admitted. “We’d started becoming friends after the ‘incident’. I’ll admit I was really curious about what it was like to be a pony,” she explained.

Neither girl seemed to consider her reason for meeting with Sunset Shimmer that odd. It was almost boringly Fluttershy of a reason, “You told her how much I hated Nightmare Night so she was nice enough to let me ask whatever I wanted to get my mind off of it. I asked what it was like to have hooves, four legs, a tail…if her fur was soft.” She began to trail off a bit until Applejack snapped her fingers to get the girl back on topic. “Oh, sorry. Anyways finally I asked her what was the biggest thing she missed about it. She said sunbathing.”

“Sunbathing? I mean isn’t that something she can do here? We have a sun,” Rainbow Dash pointed out. She didn’t seem to quite get what Fluttershy meant about it. Applejack didn’t really either as it was her turn to, albeit a little sheepishly nod in agreement.

“We do, but we also have clothes. She made it sound so nice. Lying out on the grass, letting it tickle her. The warm sun all over her body. I’ll admit I was a little confused until she explained the difference clothes make. Apparently sometimes she even doesn’t bother with clothes in her apartment. She seemed so confident about it that I decided to tell her what happened. I mean, we’re friends so I didn’t think about why I shouldn’t when she seemed okay with it herself.”

Both were clearly amazed to hear her explain how apparently Sunset Shimmer DID strip down in her apartment. Fluttershy continued to detail how the night after. While she didn’t strip down bare again, the pink haired girl had decided to try sleeping naked again. The trio were now seated on a couch comfortably, the two girls who’d come to her for sanctuary holding their towels tight around themselves.

“Are you sure that was the last you saw them?” Princess Twilight questioned with concern at Vice Principal Luna. The gladiator costumed girl of course disappointed as she looked over at Sunset Shimmer. “And they didn’t even say where they were going?”

“I’m sorry, Twilight. I really am, but after they came running out of the costume room dripping paint they just ran off,” she explained. She’d finally elected to drop the over the top accent in the face of the issue of a couple missing girls. Princess Twilight hadn’t been able to quite resist letting it slip that the two were in a less than full state of dress. Albeit much like them, Luna wasn’t an idiot. “I trusted Applejack and Rainbow Dash, or at least Applejack, would have come to talk to me if anything like this actually happened. I merely assumed it was all a part of an innocent Nightmare Night prank,” she confessed to her own negligence as she reached a hand comfortingly to Princess Twilight’s shoulder.

“We need to find the others though! If they’re out there they could be hurt or found out or worse!” Twilight looked ready to just charge out until Sunset Shimmer grabbed her. “Sunset, what are you doing? The others are already at the café by now! If we don’t hurry we could miss them.”

“First of all Twilight, we now they’re heading to my apartment, remember? We aren’t going to miss them. And secondly we have these in this world,” Sunset Shimmer reached into her hip and pulled out a cell phone. The pony princess of course looked sheepishly at the cell phone. Clearly she was embarrassed about being caught in such a simple error. Sunset started the phone with Twilight watching almost enviously as she hit the buttons with her fingers. Twilight still couldn’t work her fingers properly to even hold a pen. “Pinkie Pie? Rainbow Dash and Applejack are missing. According to Vice Principal Luna they came running down the hall dripping paint.”

“They WHAT?!” All at once all three heads turned to see Pinkie Pie shooting out of one of the lockers in her clown costume. Vice Principal Luna briefly looked between Sunset Shimmer’s cell phone and the pink clown now hopping out of the locker towards them. She chose to merely rub the bridge of her nose and try to ignore their most improbable student’s antics. “What do you mean they’re missing?! Didn’t Vice Principal Luna stop them?!” She gestured all at once at the teacher who looked of course astonished as she was placed on the spot.

Sunset Shimmer shook her head, “Pinkie Pie, it’s Rainbow Dash and Applejack. I doubt she could have even grabbed them let alone stopped them. The problem is we don’t know where they could possibly be.” The redhead of course looked at Pinkie Pie square in the eyes, “They could be anywhere knowing those two, and tonight there’s no telling how much trouble they could be in.”

Pinkie Pie seemed to have settled down somewhat, but as Sunset explained the situation she tilted her head, “What do you mean there’s no telling? They’re at Fluttershy’s of course.” She gave a ‘psh’ and waved her hand off at them as if it were so obvious. At Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer’s confused looks she explained, “Fluttershy’s house is a few streets down, so of course it’d be the first place they’d go to try and hide out.” She smiled as if this were all so simple, “Plus I got a notification about a couple Nightmare Night streakers in that neighborhood on my phone that looked like them. Or at least like their butts,” she showed them an image of an unmistakably firm orange back-side and another blue one apparently ahead of it.

Sunset Shimmer though had to ask, “You actually have an app that alerts you to streakers in the area?” An eyebrow raised at the suggestion of it. Though as Pinkie Pie opened her mouth, probably about to answer, “On second thought, I’d rather not know too much about it. For now can you just, you know, back through the locker and get the others? I doubt they’ll want to leave Fluttershy’s house like this. We can just…adjust the party to there.”

Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow back at her, “Okaaay, but why would I go through the locker? There’s nothing there. Really, and you all call ME silly!” Pinkie Pie pointed out as she advanced on the door out of the school and walked out. The trio left behind merely let out shared sighs of confusion over Pinkie Pie and bade each other farewell.

As Fluttershy detailed her accounts, Rainbow Dash and Applejack both sat quietly. Except the occasional question that Fluttershy answered as readily as one of the Twilights; it was pretty much just her explaining the transition from one time thing to bed time habit to eventual ‘at home nudist’. “I mean, I still wear pajamas when I go to other people’s house obviously, and I’d never go to school naked. I’d be so embarrassed to be in public like that. But it’s lovely getting to enjoy it here at home. It’s so freeing and peaceful. Tree Hugger is actually one as well,” both girls vaguely remembered the rather mellow and easy-going girl. They could easily see her going about unclothed.

“So, Fluttershy? One last question. Maybe not my last question but one that’s been bugging me. Here you are telling us how much more comfortable you are naked like that, and here you are still wearing your robe. What’s up with that? I kept expecting you to just slip it off and break into song or something,” Rainbow Dash admitted in a perhaps hyperbole manner. Applejack though had to admit that it didn’t seem implausible.

“Oh-oh heavens no. I only just told you two all of this, and I don’t have even the faintest idea how comfortable you two would be with it. I’m really quite fine keeping my robe on,” she insisted in a courteous and sweet fashion.

“Fluttershy? We know yer more considerate than might honestly be healthy, but me and Rainbow Dash both just spent the night walkin’ around buck ass naked in front of everyone. Then we had a race here with paint dripping off of us, able to see each other the whole time. Not to mention we were just sharin’ a shower. Not to mention we both already saw you when we walked in. You ain’t got nothin’ to be considerate about. If it makes you comfortable, then do it. Ah mean, we all know this night ain’t exactly one you’re comfortable with even if you had body armor,” she pointed out.

Fluttershy offered a small smile in response. The pink haired girl of course looking between her friends clearly appreciative, “Alright, but only if you are both absolutely comfortable with it. And if you aren’t, I’ll put my robe back on and that will be that,” she insisted in that firm yet still oh so sweet way that was the Fluttershy they loved. Of course she looked at AJ who just smirked and nodded. Her eyes though then fell on Rainbow Dash, as did AJ’s.

“What the hay are you two looking at me for? I’m the one that asked in the first place why she wasn’t prancing around naked to begin with,” she pointed out in obvious embarrassment at being put on the spot. Both of her friends laughed a bit at that, and Rainbow Dash joined in. All of the tension from their earlier troubles seemed so far away. Granted, at Fluttershy’s Nightmare Night was far as you could get.

Still Fluttershy nodded and both girls would be left a bit wide-eyed once more as she undid her robe and dropped it. Fluttershy was tall but skinny enough to be considered unhealthy at times. Not that she had any disorders to warrant such concern; Some girls were just that skinny that their chests were flat as ironing boards and their ribs would sick out. It took AJ and Rainbow Dash both a moment to realize they WERE staring and look down, much to Fluttershy’s amusement. Of course in looking down they saw those slender legs and the patch of pink stuck over her lap. Unlike the freshly shaved Applejack and the waxed Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy had pubic hair there.

Fluttershy of course noticed a familiar nuzzling at her feet and picked up Angel, candidly holding the rabbit up. She hugged him against her bare skin. The soft fluffy fur tickling as she nuzzled the top of his head. Looking up both of her friends seemed reassured and stunned at how at ease Fluttershy, the girl they swore would die on site of them, stood fully exposed in front of them. “Oh…although I know the answer will probably be no, if either of you wanted to drop your towel, I don’t mind,” she explained.

Both teenagers on the couch stared at her, instantly made slack jaw at that one considerate and almost even innocent sounding offer. Both teenagers minds could not help racing indecently in spite of Fluttershy’s insistence it wasn’t anything sexual. They both silently glanced at each other as if about to try and ask the other if they were gonna do it only to look away. Fluttershy had been about to walk off and see to feeding Angel and the other animals waiting when three simple words rang out, “I’ll try it.”
