Silver-tongue trotted down the street, her son on her back giggling as he held on tight. Silver skipped and jumped as she went along, her son enjoying every second of the pony ride that they rarely had time for.

They reached the school soon after and Silver sat down so Bullet could slide down her back. She hugged her the colt before he ran towards a red unicorn colt. The unicorn’s name was Babble. Babble because his little brain went at a mile a minute and his mouth couldn’t keep up, so his speech tended to come out in a garbled mess.

Silver watched with a smile as the two colts ran inside the school building. She stood up and turned to start walking away when she heard someone say the word “whore” and her torn ears swiveled around to catch the rest of the conversation.

“—let her bastard son attend our school. I just hope he doesn’t corrupt our daughter.” A mare said. Silver heard a stallion huff in agreement. “Yes, I can’t believe they were able to afford It. I knew the school was taking in one charity case with that retarded colt. But two charity cases? They’ll bring down the reputation of the school!”

Silver’s muzzle scrunched up in a snarl before she put on a forced pleasant smile and walked up behind the rude couple. “Oh, why hello again~” She purred. The two immediately whipped around to face her, their faces simultaneously falling into frowns. “What do you want, tramp?” The mare sneered, sidling closer to her husband. Silver knew she had heard her say “again” and was wondering what that meant.
Silver smiled sweetly at them both, not addressing one or another. “I’m just saying it’s nice to see you again, though, I think it was risky telling your spouse about me.” Her face fell through eyes gained a malicious look. She allowed herself to get a little choked up to fussy up the act. “I thought we had something special...”

Both ponies sputtered in shock. The mare looked at her husband. “Are you cheating on me?!” She screeched. The stallion stood and glowered at his wife. “No! You’re the one who’s doing the cheating!” He hollered, enraged. Silver smiled and turned to walk away. That should teach them to talk about her son that way again.

Amber and Feather walked together down back alleyways and small side streets. This was their shortcut to the house. It cuts the normal one hour walk down to just fifteen minutes.

During moments they were alone, Amber would lean over to nuzzle Feather’s cheek and the mare would return the gesture to lean on her lovingly. Feather sighed and buried her face in the side of Amber’s neck. “Sometimes I wish I could just run away from it all like you did.” She said. Amber looked down at her. “Well why not? Just say fuck it and pack your things.” She sneered, thinking about the stallion. “You know he’s abusive. You know he’s not going to get any better. So why not just come and live in the brothel with me.”

Feather shook her head. “I can’t, you know that… and it’s too late now because... because...” She stuttered and went silent. Amber stopped walking and gently nudged the silent mare. “Because what?” She asked softly.
“Because I’m Pregnant.” Feather sobbed, hiding her face from Amber. “And he knows I am. If I run now he’ll hunt me down to take my foal away from me.” Amber held the mint-furred pegasus close, letting her cry it all out. Well this was going to make things complicated...

Silver trotted to her daytime job, a little maid cafe in the tourist district. She walked in and smiled as the other mares that worked there greeted her. Silver went to the back rooms where the waitresses got changed and got into her maid outfit. She left her collar on though. Since it was a requirement of Redlight’s that her girls didn’t take them off. Silver let one of the unicorns take a brush to her messy indigo mane and tail, but that didn’t mean she didn’t grumble or be grouchy about it.

Once the unicorn was done, Silver immediately ran out of there and into the main part of the cafe. She went up to the podium so she could lead ponies to their tables. The cafe, like Miss Redlight, knew just how useful Silver’s special talent could be and opted to put her in jobs that made her interact with the most ponies.

Silver smiled as the first couple of ponies came in. This was a group of young stallions, and silver made a mental note of how they acted so she could persuade them to try certain foods.

When one of them walked up and asked for a table for five, Silver smiled and nodded. “Yes, would you like a table for only five, or would you like some extra seats?” She asked, slightly leaning over the podium in a cute way. The stallion looked a bit unsure and looked back at his friends, who all mouthed “extra”. He nodded and looked back at silver. “E- extra seats, please.” He stammered.

Silver nodded, her sweet smile still on her face, grabbed five menus and lead the way to one of the booths. As she walked, her hips swayed and she could tell that many of the boys were eyeing it. She set the menus down on the table and the stallions all got into their seats. One of them swatted at her flank with his tail.
Although the cafe had rules against touching the maids, Silver didn’t mind since she would also be breaking some rules today. In one of the menus, the one belonging to the stallion who swatted her, was one of redlight’s business cards.

Silver bowed to the stallions once they were all seated. “Today’s specials are Garden maid, Master’s call, and Prance delight, Masters” She said. “Your personal maid will be with you momentarily.” She then turned and went back to the podium to help any more customers that came in.

Amber and Feather stood outside Feather’s house. Feather obviously looked like she didn’t want to be there, but had it in her mind that she had to. Amber walked her up to the door and when they found it locked, rang the doorbell. Heavy hoofsteps could be heard before the door was unlocked and swung open. Standing there, glaring down at Amber, was her older brother, Oak.

The large deer-pony turned his gaze to look at Feather. “Bout time you made it home.” He growled. Feather dipped her head. “I went to Amber’s place to stay out of your way, I’m sorry.” she said meekly. Oak huffed and pulled Feather inside before turning to his sister. “I found out where you live, sister dearest.” he sneered. “So don’t think I’ll let my Feather go there again!”

Amber glared at him. “She doesn’t do anything there. She just hangs out with me.” Amber said. Oak brought his face close to her’s. “If that foal ends up not lookin’ like me, I’m commin’ for your head.”He threatened, before leaning back and slamming the door in Amber’s face.

Author's Note

I have never been to a maid cafe so please bear with me on if this is accurate or not x.x
The wiki said that every cafe is different in how they attract customers.

I also made feather’s husband amber’s brother so her foal will look like amber. I have plans for these two ^^
