Chapter 2 coming soon. I feel it's too long to cover in one chapter.
Chapter 1
Another day of classes begins at Canterlot High. It is a humid Friday, drawing close to the end of the semester and the beginning of a new summer. As it gets closer, students are given the opportunity to perform fundraisers and other activities in order to get extra credit and pass their classes. Two such students are friends Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer.
The stress of what happened at both the Friendship Games and Camp Everfree put both of them well behind on their grades in nearly all of their classes, so participating in a project seemed to be the only viable option for them. As they share a first period class, they sit together to contemplate what they should do.
“Hey Sunset,” says Rainbow. “Have you found anything good for us to volunteer for?”
Sunset replies with a sigh and puts her head on her desk. “No…everything has a full list of volunteers. Even the other five of our group managed to sign up for activities. If we don't find something soon, Principal Celestia said we’ll be held back, AND have to attend summer classes.”
Rainbow is discouraged.
“Darn it…well, we’ll find something to do. When we go to lunch, let's eat quickly and check the boards again to see if something new has opened up, or if volunteer slots are available again. I am not going to be held back…again!” says Rainbow, slightly annoyed.
Sunset agrees. “Hopefully. If not, we’ll have to ask if we can set one up for ourselves.”
After she says that, an idea popped in Rainbow’s head. “That's it!” she begins. “If there's nothing for us to sign up for, we can ask Principal Celestia if we can start our own project! I have the perfect idea too: repairing the broken Wondercolts statue!”
Sunset is excited about the idea. “Hey, that would be amazing! The whole school would love that.” she says. Although she is still excited by the idea, her tone goes back to a serious one. "But...let's be prepared. A project like that will probably cost a lot of money." Rainbow agrees, and they decide to continue talking after classes.
Lunch time comes around after a few hours of classes. Since lunch lasts for about an hour at CHS, Rainbow and Sunset have plenty of time to talk things over. After looking closely for projects to volunteer for, they find out that all of them are taken up. They are disappointed, but are also relieved that they will be able to present their own idea to Principal Celestia.
"Looks like we're rebuilding that statue." says Rainbow. "Like you said, though, I'm concerned about the price of the project. That statue could easily be a few thousand dollars."
Sunset replies: "You're right. But I would rather give it a shot than risk being held back." Rainbow agrees, and they head over to the Principal's office to get their project started.
The girls walk in and sit down in her office.
"Ah, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer! Is there something I can help you with?" Celestia asks.
"Yes, actually." Sunset starts. "We would like to set up our own project to raise funds for in order to get our grades up again."
Rainbow jumps in. "Yeah. We actually think it'd be a great idea to fund a repair of the Wondercolts statue in the courtyard! Ever since the Friendship Games, it's been really depressing to look at. And since it hasn't been repaired, we figured it'd be a nice contribution from us to the school."
Celestia is delighted to hear about their plan, as she has also recently been planning to raise funds for the statue's repair. Since Rainbow and Sunset need their grades to improve before the end of the semester, she agrees to let them pursue the project.
"That's a wonderful idea, girls! In fact, for the past few weeks, I have been personally researching how much it would cost us to repair it. Since I know you both need to raise your grades, I'll pass this project on to you. But remember, since the other students who also needed an improvement on their grades are already pursuing their projects, you two will be on your own to raise the money needed."
Both agree to it, and they discuss prices, as well as plans to get the money they need.
Over the weekend, the two girls spend plenty of time together to plan their fundraisers. Since the semester ends in about 3 weeks, they plan to host their events every day until they make the money they need, which is a whopping $6500. After a bit of contemplation, they decide to host sporting events every day after school, charging about $10 for participation, and $5 to spectate. Their following Monday is rather successful, as they are able to pull in around $250, with lots of students and faculty coming to play and watch. However, that amount isn't enough per day in order to reach their goal of $6500 in three weeks. For Tuesday, they raise their prices to try to get a little extra money. The attempt is unsuccessful. A combination of the inflated price as well as most people uninterested in attending the event again results in far less people showing up, and slightly less than $100 in profits. As the week goes on, their daily income decreases until the weekend comes. They decide to meet at a cafe in the early afternoon to go over their week.
The girls are very discouraged and feel that they may not make enough money to reach their goal.
"This stinks!" exclaims Rainbow. "An entire week passed and we only made about $500! That leaves us with only two weeks to somehow come up with $6000!"
"I know..." Sunset begins, with an added sigh. "I don't know what we're gonna do. At this point we may be better off trying to get a job that lets us work after school. But who knows if it'll even pay well enough for us to make that money..."
She continues after a short pause. "Maybe we should just cancel the project and take the summer classes..."
Rainbow isn't happy to hear that. Slightly aggravated, she says: "No way!! I am not going to be held back again and still have to take summer classes! I don't know how, but we'll find a job!"
After a few minutes of chatting about it, a stranger overhears their conversation and comes over to talk to them.
"Hey girls, sorry, but I couldn't help but overhear your dilemma there."
Before he can finish, Rainbow interrupts with: "Uh...who are you?"
He replies. "Lemme introduce myself. My name is Mike Hawk. I'm an owner of a young adults night club downtown and am actually looking to hire some girls your age. My other two quit and I have positions open. It pays really well. I can have you work every night and can start you at $20. Plus you'll make a lot in tips!"
Rainbow and Sunset look at each other. They're a little skeptical and want to talk it out first, but they are interested in seeing what this job has to offer.
After a short chat, they agree. "Alright, sure." says Sunset. "We'll talk about it and then give you a call or head over to your club when we finish."
"Awesome! Here's my card, and here's the address. Just head on down anytime before 6 PM when we open. Oh, but I do have a question...you both are 18 right? Because you have to be at least 18 to get a job at the club." They confirm that that is indeed their exact age. He excuses himself and leaves the cafe, leaving the girls to discuss it.
"That was weird...but I think it's a good idea to try it. Otherwise we won't get the money we need to fix the statue." Rainbow says.
"Yeah. He seemed nice enough, but I'd like to look at reviews for this place before we decide to go down there by ourselves. Who knows what part of town it's in." Sunset replies.
The two do their research and after carefully considering it for a few hours, they decide to go down and see the club they'd be working at. To their surprise, the club is actually in a very upscale and nice part of town, and the building itself looks beautiful.
"Hey, this might be better than I expected." Sunset says.
"I know! This place looks totally awesome!" Rainbow replies excitedly.
They walk inside after telling the bouncer that Mike sent them, and the bouncer says that he'll be with them in a few minutes if they'd like to go inside. Once inside, however, they are slightly confused as this is isn't a club they've seen before. There are stages, colored lights, and poles, as well as rails around the stages. As they were expecting a simple teenage/young adult club, this is a surprise for them. Suddenly, as they're looking around, it hits them, and they start talking to each other:
"Um...Sunset?"
"Yeah, Rainbow?"
"I think I now know what job he offered us..."
"Yep..."
A bit shocked and scared now, they don't know if they should leave or just give it a shot.
Rainbow breaks the silence after about a solid minute of thinking. "I say we just try it! I'm confident enough in myself to try this! How about you?"
Sunset is a bit more on edge. "I don't know," she says, "I'm a bit nervous...I've never even showered at school. To do that kind of thing in front of strangers instead of by myself?"
Rainbow replies: "Actually I haven't either...I've kind of kept everything to myself. But I still think I can do this! I mean, I'm me, I'm awesome, and I can do anything. But I can't make the money by myself, I'll need your help!"
Sunset blushes a little bit with the idea, but they decide to stick around after realizing it's either this or they have to cancel their project. After a couple more minutes of chatting, Mike comes out to greet them. "Hey, you girls came! I'm glad you're interested in giving this a chance. I think you two are perfect for this job."
"Yeah, no problem." says Sunset. "We're a bit nervous honestly, but we really need the money."
They go on into his office and they talk about the job. As they suspected, it's a job they both had no idea they would ever be offered, much less have to do: perform nightly as strippers. Again, they don't feel very comfortable, but they don't have much of a choice. Since Rainbow is adventurous, she decides she wants to pursue it and accepts the job. Sunset is reluctant, but after considering everything, she too accepts the job. As the club allows patrons inside in waves, they will have to perform their routine at least 3 times per night, and they will also have be completely naked for most of it, rather than just partially naked. They are only allowed to continue dancing in shoes if they choose to do so.
"Excellent. I understand why you two aren't comfortable, but trust me, after your first routine, you won't mind it anymore.
"Thanks for the opportunity, Mr Hawk. Is there any orientation we should go through?" says Rainbow.
"Actually, yes. I have a couple others coming to judge how you perform. If you could, you can change into your attire now in the dressing room. I'll warn you, though: you will have to take it all off. This is also a chance for us to see how you look nude, in order to make sure you fit the requirements. From what I can tell, you do, but you must also be completely shaven, which is one of the things we'll be judging. As for your dance, that's up for you two to decide, since we like each girl to have their own unique style."
The girls go back into the room with their new, skimpy outfits to change.
"I can't believe we're actually doing this." Rainbow says. "Let's uh...not tell anyone at school about this, though, okay?"
"Oh, definitely. We'll find an excuse. I don't want people to know we'll be getting our money by taking our clothes off in front of random strangers." Sunset replies. "Actually...even though we have our own stalls to change in, do you just wanna break the ice now and change in front of each other? It'll be the first of many times we'll be seeing each other naked in the next two weeks."
"Yeah, sure. May as well." Rainbow says.
Although it's slightly awkward, they take off their layers of clothes, until they're down to their bras and panties. They become hesitant, but decide to keep going. They take off their bras first, exposing their bare breasts. Both have rather large breasts, about a C-D size. They then slip off their panties, and are standing fully naked in front of each other. They both have shaved as well, so they don't have to worry about that being a part of their judgement.
They stare at each other for a few seconds, and then break the silence.
"You know," Sunset starts, "not to sound like I'm attracted to you, but you look...really nice naked."
Rainbow blushes a little bit, and replies: "Heh...I was gonna say the same to you. And you know, now that we've done it, I feel a lot better."
"Me too, actually. Maybe this will be easier than we think." Sunset replies while blushing and smiling. After that, they put on their lingerie, as well as their shoes, since their bottoms can come off without pulling them down, and go back out to the stage where they meet Mike and his coworkers. And to their slight relief, there is a woman there helping judge, meaning they won't have to be naked only in front of males for their first routine. They step on the stage, and await instruction.
