The Social Rejects Squad: Little Adventures

Cozy Glow:

Cozy sat on her bed on the second day of being grounded for two days. She read the book that she hid from her mother and thought to herself, This is book seven! You know, the Dragon-Corn series shouldn’t be too much longer? When suddenly, she hears the front door open.

She hears the masculine voice of Tasty Snack, Little Snack’s unicorn father, begin speaking to her mother in the distance. She can’t really make out what’s said from her bed and so, she quietly gets out and thinks, Should I be eavesdropping like this? Then again, nopony has to know I heard them? Before silently trotting to the door and cracking it just barely open with her right forehoof to hear better as she places her head near the wall.

She overhears Tasty saying, “Yes, I wanted to talk about Little Snack!”

Trixie frowns, “What about her?”

Tasty smiles, “Well, she has had a hard time making friends and I honestly believe knowing Cozy is good for her!”

“And?”

Tasty sighs, “And, I’d like her and Little Snack to become filly friends!”

Trixie widens her eyebrows, “Filly friends?”

“Yeah! Like, best friends, only as fillies! Would it be okay if our darling angel came by to visit everyday after class and before dinner?”

Trixie smiles, “Oh, okay! Uh, sure! I’ll run that idea by little Cozy soon! She’s still grounded for cursing earlier and she’ll be out in another day! Does Friday sound like a good time to start?”

Tasty smiles, “Sounds good to me!”

<*****>

Little Snack:

Little Snack emerged in the fog and began to scream, “AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!”

“Calm down child!” Says a soft, but firm feminine voice from behind the orange filly.

Little huffs and paws at the ground, left and then right before turning around. She sees she’s still in her room, but no longer in her bed and the dark imposing alicorn shape of Princess Luna stands there next to her door. She smiles from across the room and says, “Oh, sorry! That’s just how I usually wake up a lot of times!”

“Uh,” Luna shakes her head to compose herself at this unusual orange filly with her long green ribboned pigtails and freckles, before smiling and saying, “I assure you that you are still very much asleep foal!”

“Oh, okay! Why am I in my room then?” Little says as she looks up to her right.

Luna smiles, “I wished to speak with you!”

Little leans forward with her green eyes wide open, “About what?”

“Well, you and Cozy have gotten close, yes?”

“Well um… “ Little looks down and paws again, left, then right. She looks at the princess, “Not as close as I’d like? She’s just well…” she looks down at the floor.

“She’s what?” Luna asked perplexed while craning her neck to the young orange pony.

Little looks back up, “She’s so pretty and smart and nice and well…”

Luna trots to Little and uses her right forehoof to raise Little’s chin to face her as she looks into the filly’s eyes, “Follow your heart Little Snack!”

Little narrows her eyes, “That sounds like pretty generic advice, but okay!”

Luna starts at this before chuckling slightly and putting her hoof down, “Well, there’s often no easy way to approach these things… You just have to do what you believe you need to and trust that things will work out fine… But nopony can really tell for sure!”

Little nods her head, “Oh okay! That makes sense! Yes!”

<*****>

That Friday, in Cozy’s room…

The pink curly haired pegasus filly stands near the wall with her door and stares back at Little Snack, “Oh golly! So, what now?”

“Filly friends! That’s what my dad said we should be!”

Cozy raises her left eyebrow, “What’s a filly friend?”

“Oh, well it’s like we’re fillies and we’re also really good friends!”

Cozy normalizes her eyes and scrunches her mouth, “But, we’re already fillies and good friends!”

“Yup! And now, we’re filly friends!” Little says excitedly while nodding.

“But we were already good friends and fillies, Little Snack? I don’t see how this changes anything?”

“Well, now we get to be filly friends, so it’s different!”

“How is it different?”

“Well, we’re filly friends now!”

Cozy looks skyward and whispers, “Oh golly!” to herself before lowering her eyes back at Little, “Um… But we were already, uh…” A daze look goes over Cozy’s brown eyes as she widens them, “You know what Little Snack? That’s great! I love you filly friend!”

“Aww! I love you too!” Little exclaims before trotting over to Cozy and hugging her tightly!

“EEP!” Cozy says as she’s held firmly in the earth filly’s hooves! She soon composes herself and returns the hug with her own forehooves.

Little disengages from Cozy, back to her hooves on the floor, “So uh, what do you wanna do now, filly friend?”

Cozy scratches the back of her head with her right forehoof, “Oh golly, I dunno? Whatever you wanna do is fine!”

Little scrunches her mouth, “That’s okay! You can decide!”

“Um, no Little! Whatever you want is good! I just got up and don’t really have any plans!”

“Oh gosh! No, you decide for us Cozy!”

Cozy narrows her eyes, “We’re not gonna get anywhere doing this, you know?”

Little giggles slightly and looks off to the lower right side, “Uh, yeah…”

Cozy notices something ‘off’ about the freckled orange earth filly in her room, so she leans towards Little slightly and narrows her eyes, “Are you okay, Little?”

“What? Me? Oh, I’m fine! Everything is just fine! Why wouldn’t I be okay?” She says while nervously smiling at the pegasus and staring at her with bright green eyes.

Cozy leans back slightly, “You’ve just been acting weird! I mean, is something bothering you?”

At that point, something snaps inside the orange filly. She stares back up at Cozy with her green eyes and does the unthinkable… She kisses Cozy Glow on the lips!

Cozy’s eyes are as wide as saucers while the earth filly’s lips are on hers.

Little brings her head back and smiles at Cozy.

Cozy, who promptly screams, “AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!”

Little begins screaming with her, “AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!”

Cozy stops screaming shortly before Little and pants before saying, “Y-you kissed me!”

Little nods, “Um, that’s true! Yes, I did!”

“Why did you kiss me?”

“Because I love you!”

“Well, I love you too! But I won’t kiss you!”

Little narrows her eyes and says, “Aww! Now you’re just being mean!” before staring at the floor.

Cozy’s eyes widen as her mind begins to process all of what just happened. She stares at Little, “Uh, I mean, um… If you wanted to?”

Little looks back at Cozy, “Um, yeah! I liked kissing you! I also liked screaming with you! Can we do that again?”

Suddenly, Cozy’s doorknob glows blue and her door swings open to show a blue unicorn pony with a white mane and tail. Trixie stares at Cozy, “What’s wrong? Why are you two screaming?”

Cozy turns her body to Trixie, “Oh, I’m fine! Everything is fine! We’re all fine!” before smiling nervously.

Trixie smiles and leans forward, “And how was your first kiss?”

Cozy’s eyes widen as starts, “What? There was no kiss! Why would there be a kiss? I don’t know what you’re talking about mom?” and a big smile slowly begins to form on her face.

Trixie snickers and looks at Little, just beyond Cozy on the floor, “So, you like my daughter?”

Little’s eyes widen as she nervously looks at Trixie and nods her head, “Oh, yes ma’am! Cozy is smart, and pretty, and funny!” She stops nodding and looks intently at the unicorn and says wide-eyed, “She’s just the best!”

“Okay! You two little fillies have fun! I’m so glad you have somepony to play with and have fun with Little Cozy! Dinner will be ready in about an hour!” Trixie says before using her magic to shut the door and both fillies can hear hoofsteps getting fainter as she trots away.

Cozy stares back at Little, “Why did you kiss me?”

Little smiles, “Because I love you!”

Cozy blinks at this confusing little earth filly staring back at her happily with her big green eyes. “This is gonna make snuggling awkward!”

Little blinks, “I don’t think so? Now I get to kiss you too!”

“ACK!” Cozy replies. “

“Something wrong?” Little asks while leaning forward curiously.

“Um,” Cozy blinks and says, “I just never really thought of you, like that, you know? I mean, with everything I did, nopony should wanna be with me…” before looking down at the floor.

Little corrects her neck and smiles, “Then call me, Nopony! Nopony McGee! Yes!”

Cozy raises her head at the earth filly and lifts her left eyebrow, “What?”

“I wanna be with you, Cozy!” Little says while continuing to smile nervously.

“Why?”

“Well, you’re smart and pretty and funny and cute and…”

“Okay, stop right there!” Cozy says while putting her right forehoof up. She lowers it and glares at Little carefully, “Uh, you really think all those things about me?”

“Well, yeah!” Little says before nodding and widening her eyes to the pegasus, “Are you surprised?”

“Well, um…” Cozy says before looking down and scanning the floor with her eyes. She looks back at Little, “I just uh, never really thought of you, like that! You know?” She looks to the lower right, “Actually, I’ve never felt that way about anypony, I don’t think??

“Well, how do you feel about me?” Little asks curiously, leaning forward with her big green eyes in full view of the pegasus.

Cozy looks back at Little, “I uh, never really thought of you, like that, Little Snack…”

“No no no!” Little says before shaking her head. She leans forward with open interested eyes, “I mean, what do you think about me?”

Cozy Glow stares blankly at Little Snack, “I think you have a good heart and are nice and friendly and I think you’re in pretty good shape…”

“Probably cause I stay so active?” Little says while looking at the lower left. She looks back at Cozy, “So um, wanna be filly friends now, Cozy?”

Cozy narrows her eyes, “This includes kissing, doesn’t it?”

“Hopefully!” Little says exuberantly while nodding. She stops and leans forward, “I really like you, Cozy!”

Cozy widens her eyes, “You don’t say?”

“Oh yes! I do say!” Little says before nodding.

At this point, Cozy can only shrug and smile as she says, “You know what? Sure! Why not?”

“Hooray!” Little Snack shouts before kissing Cozy again on the lips!

Cozy’s eyes widen again as they tremble. This time, it’s different. Somehow, electric and going through Cozy as she stares at the closed orange eyes of this other filly that apparently loves her.

Little stops kissing and draws back, “How was that?”

“You know, I was more ready for it that time, and yet, it still took over…”

“What took over?”

“Uh,” Cozy shakes her head, “Nevermind!

“Okay!” Little Snack says before vibrating slightly. She stares at Cozy, “So, what do you wanna do now, filly friend?”

“Well, I usually take a nap about now?”

“Yay! Cuddling and kissing in Cozy’s bed together!”

Cozy gulps, “Oh golly!”

Little glares at Cozy’s bed to her right, “Uh, I know you like to be held, and so I guess I should get in first, right?”

A startling thought suddenly occurs to the pegasus filly’s mind as she opens her eyes wide and says to Little, “Uh, sure! Go ahead!”

“Okay filly friend!” Little says excitedly before she trots over to the bed and hops onto it. She messes up the covers a bit as she digs in deep and plants her head on the far pillow, with her body laid open to Cozy and on her left side, she says happily, “Okay Cozy! You come on in, and I’ll hold and love you! There’s also your dolphin to hold so you can feel safe and warm and happy! Now come on in!” before patting the bed with her right forehoof.

“Golly!” Cozy says before squatting and taking off with her wings to flitter over and land on the bed, opposite to Little and then goes prone before shifting her body to lay on her left side with Little behind her.

Little holds her and asks, “Aren’t you gonna get your dolphin?”

Cozy smiles, “No… Just pull the covers over us and hold me and I think I’ll have everything I need!”

“DAWW!” Little says while using her right forehoof to pull blankets over Cozy first and then, her own body. She then begins to hold Cozy in her hooves and kisses her softly on the back of her neck at the start of her curls. This tickles Cozy slightly and she giggles while Little Snack happily whispers back to her, “I love you filly friend!”

“I love you too, Little Snack!” Cozy says before smiling and snuggling deeper into Little behind her while she’s being held.

<*****>

Cozy emerges in a fog, once more in the same open field, now just empty pastures. As she looks around the grasslands and can’t help but think to herself that cows should be out here. She looks up to the sky and sees that it’s very cloudy and the sun is nowhere in sight. Suddenly, a soft feminine voice says from behind her, “So, you found love!”

Cozy turns her body around to see Princess Luna there, her energetic mane dancing off to the left side and a smile on her face, underneath cerulean eyes. Cozy raises her head to say, “This was all part of your plan, wasn’t it?”

Luna snickers, “Why, what ever do you mean, Cozy?”

Cozy rolls her eyes, “Oh please! You get me to find love with another filly, so I stay good and reformed! I can smell this setup a mile away!”

Luna giggles more, “No Little Cozy! I just arranged for you to meet Little Snack! This was actually all her idea!”

Cozy scrunches her mouth and narrows her eyes, “So, her kissing me earlier was all her then?”

Luna nods, “Correct!” She leans forward while grinning, “Now, what are you gonna do about it?”

“Oh golly!” Cozy says while leaning back slightly, “You know, I’ve faced evil unicorn magicians, a wicked draconequus, changeling queens, and a malevolent old centaur! But this!”

Luna laughs, “Love is the most difficult monster to face, isn’t that right?”

Cozy narrows her eyes again, “You sure this wasn’t a plan of yours?”

Luna shakes her head, “No!” She stops, “Little Snack has actually had a crush on you for some time now and her dreams about you are surprisingly romantic!”

Cozy widens her eyes, “W-what? She’s been dreaming about me too?”

“That is correct Cozy!”

Cozy starts as once again, thoughts of a certain freckled orange filly and who she is, begin to enter her mind.

<*****>

Cozy wakes up being lovingly held in the hooves of Little Snack, but she feels different somehow… She opens her eyes and sees a smiling blue unicorn with white hair staring at her as she’s being held. She says, “Uh, mom. Why are you staring at us like that?”

Trixie shakes her head and looks at Cozy, “I’m sorry! I just can’t get over how cute and adorable you two are together! And now, you’re filly friends!”

“Oh golly, mom! I don’t need this!” Cozy stammers out while shutting her eyes. She opens them at Trixie, “I just wanted to live my life!”

Trixie frowns, “Well, love is part of life, Cozy Glow!”

Cozy opens her eyes at the unicorn and narrows them, “That’s not what I meant and you know it!”

“Oh gosh!” says a timid voice from behind Cozy. “I’m sorry! Uh, do you want me to go now?”

Cozy widens her eyes and says, “No! You stay!” while bringing Little’s forehooves around her with her own. She looks at Trixie with big sad brown eyes and says, “Uh, mom! I’m not grounded anymore! Can my new filly friend please stay the night?” before frowning pathetically.

Trixie snickers, “Sure! Just fly over to her house and nicely ask her parents!”
