Undisclosed Desires

Chapter 01.04

Twilight started out of her slumber at the sound of somepony knocking on the library door. She rolled over, tucking her head under her pillow to escape the torturous light of Celestia's sun, and attempted to slip back into her delicious, filly-filled dreams, but another rapping, this time coming much more insistently, pulled her completely out of any salvageable attempt at slumber. She grumbled, cursing the laziness of her little assistant under her breath, and almost fell out of her bed as she stumbled to her hooves.

Another knock sounded, urging the unicorn to expedite the process of shrugging off her morning grog. "I'm coming! Celestia forbid you ponies let a mare sleep in for once...." She reached the door and sighed, using her magic to straighten her bedmane before pulling the door open . "I swear, Spike.... If I find out where you.... Yes, who is- Rarity! Oh, I'm sorry for making you wait. I wasn't expecting any company this morning so I-"

"Ut tut, Twilight. No need to apologize! I did come over unannounced, after all." The fashionista smiled warmly at her friends and inclined her head towards the lobby behind her. "May I come in?"

"Oh! Of course! Sorry, I was just caught off guard. Do you want any tea?"

"No, I'm fine, darling, but thank you for the offer." She took a seat on a cushion and wrinkled her nose as a faint musky scent wafted from it. A sly grin crept across her face as she regarded her unicorn compatriot across from her. "So, Twilight, I know I only asked yesterday, but has anypony caught your eye yet? Or you...?"

"No! Not yet. I... uhm.... I told you I'm not really.... I'm not looking." Rarity tittered daintily as Twilight spluttered over her excuse, grinning wider as a heated blush spread across her friend's face.

"You most certainly do! Oh, do tell who it is! One can only imagine who her friend likes for so long before filling in the blanks herself, you know.” She leaned over the table, resting her chin on a foreleg, and gently tapped the stunned mare. "Now, who's the lucky stallion.... Or is it a mare?" Twilight hindered her blush before it intensified to the best of her abilities, even if the alabaster unicorn wasn't entirely right, but from the sparkle in her friend's eyes, she knew she hadn't succeeded. "Oh, so mare it is, then. You know, darling, you are as easy to read as those books you so enjoy.

"So, are you going to tell me who got you all flustered last night or am I going to have to go around town asking everypony if they visited?"

"No! I mean, that, uhm.... That wasn't my cushion last night. Do you know a filly named Topsy Turvy?" Rarity arched an eyebrow and slowly shook her head. "Well, she's one of Cheerilee's students and it's almost that time...."

"Oh my, Twilight. You didn't?"

"No! Oh, no. She was just checking on me after I rushed out of the estrus-slash-sex ed class Cheerilee was teaching." Twilight smiled slightly, her nerves slowly calming as she eased into the conversation with one of her closest friends. "She's such a sweet filly, but that's all that happened. I'm surprised I didn't notice the smell or I'd have cleaned that pillow, t-" The lavender librarian almost bit her tongue as she caught her near-slip and fought back a sigh of relief when it seemed her visitor didn't notice.

"Well, I'm glad that that was all. That kind of stuff is illegal, isn't it? I can't say what I'd do if I ever found out somepony had taken advantage of little Sweetie Belle...." Rarity huffed and tossed her mane from her face with a flourish. "Oh, we've gotten off subject. I meant to come invite you to a little soirée and here we are talking about such a dreadful subject."

Twilight swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and chuckled nervously. "S-so.... What was it you wanted to invite me to?"

"Well, the Blossom sisters are hosting an event for the orphanage, a little fundraiser type deal, and they are going to be offering their services at half price with all proceeds going to help the fillies and colts find a family." She beamed and reached across the table, pulling the scholar closer by her hooves. "So, what do you say, dear? Want to join Fluttershy and I today? Who knows? You may even see the mystery mare." A slight nod was all the answer needed before Rarity hopped up and clopped her hooves together in glee, rambling out their plans for the day as she rapidly departed. "Excellent! I shall fetch Fluttershy and meet you at the spa in fifteen minutes! See you soon, darling, and don't forget to invite your crush!"

"Rarity, wait! I'm not crushing on any m.... Well, I never thought Rarity, of all ponies, would be so unreceptive to denials." Despite the awkward situation her friend's misunderstanding had put her in and the chilling revelation of her views on Twilight's hidden attraction, she couldn't help the smile that formed at the thought of helping Topsy find a family. Half of a day was not much time to start a deep relationship like the one she had with her five closest friends, but she still worried about the filly's situation, especially after her reaction when the foster home was brought up.

"Maybe she'll open up more after a while...." She sighed, her mood dampened by Topsy's unknown issues, and ran a hoof through her mane, noticing that her temporary magical fix had come undone. "I should probably freshen up a bit before I go.... Spike! Spike!? Where is that drag-"

"Yeah, Twilight?"

The unicorn yelped as the dragon in question stepped out of the basement beside her. "Wha- What are you doing in the basement?"

"Sleeping, of course. I put one of the extra mattresses down there." Spike sighed at the confused expression plastered on his foster mother's face and loosed an exasperated sigh. "You make weird noises and smell funky when you sleep. It's kind of hard to sleep through.... Plus my basket's getting a little small."

"I.... Oh.... I'm...." She shook the blush from her cheeks and glanced over her shoulder to the bedroom. "I'm going to the spa in a few minutes. I just wanted to.... Look, I'll give you a bucket of rubies if you don't tell anyone!" She grinned triumphantly as her draconic charge's mouth began to water and patted his head. "I'll bring them when I come home, so just do whatever until I get back!"

Without looking back, Twilight escaped the increasingly uncomfortable situation and dashed upstairs to tend to her daily grooming. With her mane and tail straightened into place and the excess fluff in her fur carefully flattened, the librarian beamed at the mirror. "Looking one's best is the first step to feeling at one's best." With a stifled snort at her fashion-minded friend's expense, Twilight departed with a great smile on her face. "Today will be just fine."

~{U}~{D}~

Twilight scanned the lobby of the Soothesisters Spa with almost visible fear in her wide, quivering eyes. Today is not going to be fine! Oh no, what do I do!? She glanced around the room, trying not to make eye contact with the multitude of fillies and the few colts bustling about and helping the sister trio with the customers, but no means to escape from the certain deathtrap presented itself. There's so many fillies! How are there this many orphaned foals in Ponyville!? Sure, there are colts, but I can't just ask to be served by one without seeming suspicious! Oh, what do I do, what do I do, what do I-

"Twilight, darling, is everything okay? You're as antsy as Sweetie Belle before a Crusader meeting!"

"Oh my, Twilight. You're shivering! Are you cold? Do you want me to go get you a blanket?" Fluttershy fluffed her wings in preparation for flight, but was stopped by a frantic purple hoof before she could even flap them once.

"No! I'm fine. I don't want to bring any attention to myself. I wasn't expecting such a crowd."

Rarity clasped her hoof over her mouth and leaned in close. "You are at that time of the year, aren't you? Well, don't worry! The Blossom sisters are professionals, after all. They've put up with many a mare in heat before, so you won't have to worry." She smiled and rubbed Twilight's withers affectionately.

Twilight nodded, but kept her wary eyes on the crowded spa goers, trying to ignore her imagination's wild machinations. They are not all staring at you. They do not know about your feelings. They are not accusing you. None of the fillies feel that way towards you. "Are there really this many orphans in Ponyville?"

"Of course not, darling. The foals from the school are here helping out, too." Rarity smiled and gently nudged her scholarly companion towards the registration desk. "Come on, Twilight. We don't want to stand here all day now, do we?"

Without any other choice, Twilight followed her friends' urging and stepped up to the small sign-in booth with a reluctant smile. The colt sitting behind the desk greeted them cheerily, taking down each of their names and desired treatments, then directed the trio to a cluster of open chairs. With their places chosen, all the three had left to do was get comfortable and wait.

"Twilight, I just know you're going to love Neighponese Special. Plus, the massage really helps distract you from your... troubles."

"Oh, Rarity's absolutely right. I can't stand all of the more thorough aspects of it, but it's really nice. It's my favorite."

Twilight nodded, only half paying attention to her friends' gushing over their previous spa dates, as she attentively watched the bustling crowd of foals. It's surprising to see so many fillies and colts engrossed in their jobs. She smiled at a filly who caught her eye and waved back in response to the excited girl's gesture. Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering the town's not too big. It's definitely not Canterlot. There's no way you could get this many-

Her ear twitched as the faint sound of muffled laughter reached it, or so she thought. It was difficult to hear over the clopping of hooves on soft tile and the chatter of the spa-goers. She turned to inquire about the sound with her companions, but her efforts were stopped as a trio of foals took up a semicircle by their chairs.

"Hello! We'll be doing your hooficures for you while you wait on Misses Aloe and Lotus for your massages!" The girls all beamed brightly up at them, obviously pleased with their assigned tasks thus far, as they awaited their patrons' responses.

"Of course, girls. We eagerly await your skilled services." At Rarity's invitation, the fillies set to work, pulling out a series of files and polish. The white unicorn leaned back in her seat, allowing her hooves to dangle off the sides and bottom of her chair, and lounged comfortably.

"Oh, wow Rarity. You're so calm about the hooficure. I, uhm, kind of expected you to be against unlicensed ponies tending to you." Fluttershy followed her friend's lead and found her own position to relax in, finally fully easing into her routine day at the spa.

"Come now, darling. It's for a good cause and, really what's the worst she can do? I have full confidence that I'll come out of this looking like a million bits! Isn't that right, Miss...?"

"Ginger Snap, ma'am! And yes ma'am! You can count on me! Scout's honor."

All through her companions' exchange, Twilight kept her focus on the filly tending to her and the light red pony seemed to notice. "Having a good day, Miss Twilight?" The words snapped the unicorn out of her light stupor and she responded with a slight nod. "That's good. Miss Cheerilee was worried when you left so suddenly. She thought she might have offended you."

"What? No! I mean, it wasn't her fault. Was she really worried?" Ruby nodded and kept filing away at the mare's hooves. "Could you tell her I'm sorry if you see her before me? I just got a little nervous. I'd had a pretty off day before I visited."

"Was that why you were acting weird? Miss Cheerilee said that you doing all the stuff she was teaching about was 'cause she was touching you."

Twilight smiled nervously, glancing over to her spa mates to ensure they weren't paying her any attention, and softly patted the filly's mane. "I was just anxious, is all. Anypony is bound to react like that when they're being touched." Ruby gave a curt nod and returned to her duty, taking extreme care not to mess up with her fledgling magic. "You know, you're surprisingly polite for a pony your age. I guess I'm just so used to the Cutie Mark Crusaders that it seems unnatural to see any other foal acting differently."

"Mommy has lots of friends over all the time, so I hafta be nice. Plus, I get extra cookies sometimes, too!" The magenta-maned filly beamed at that last thought and nearly dropped her file, but quickly recovered as a light blush darkened her already red cheeks. "Mommy makes really good cookies." Before she could refocus, her eyes lit up even more and she leaned up over the edge of Twilight's seat. "Oh! Mommy also said that she wanted to thank you for helping Miss Cheerilee out with the class! Miss Cheerilee was gonna tell you, but I'm already here, so...."

The lavender unicorn smiled softly. "Well, thank you for telling me. I'll be sure to let your mommy know how sweet you've been when I see her." Twilight leaned back and sighed softly as she allowed herself to finally relax. I was expecting this to be a disaster, but all it took was some light conversation to lighten the mood. Such a good girl, too. Berry's done a great job with raising her on her own.

Her eyes drifted shut as the sound of idle chatter mixed with the soft grinding of hoof and metal eased her into a state of light euphoria. Nothing like a hooficure to start a relaxing day at the spa. She giggled lightly at her thoughts and took a quick peek at the pale fashionista as she lounged blissfully. I'm starting to sound like Rarity..., but she was right. Being pampered is amazing.

Thoughts drifted from one topic to another until her checklist of her next biomagical experiments made way for a very recent concern. I wonder where Topsy is. Shouldn't she be helping the other foals? "Ruby, I have a question. Is Topsy Turvy here? I thought she'd be helping out the other orphans, too."

The pony paused with the bottle of lavender polish floating in her sparkling grasp and glanced around. "Hmm.... Oh! She's in the back helping the others sort through the materials in case any of us on the floor need extra." Ruby rubbed her chin in thought and glanced towards the curtained off doorway to Twilight's left. "I figured one of them would be out by now."

Twilight chewed her bottom lip as she watched the other spa-goers pass in and out of the spa's exclusive massage and mud bath room. She was worried for the filly, especially after the reaction she received the night before at the mere mentioning of the orphanage, and she wanted nothing more than to go back there and look for her. We're friends and friends look out for each other..., but I can't just walk into an off limits area like that without looking suspicious.

"Ruby, could we just skip the polish? I don't really like the smell. It irritates my eyes." The red foal stopped the floating brush right before it touched her client's hoof and quickly returned it to its place on the vial.

"You have no idea how much I like you right now! The polish is so smelly! I don't see how anypony can wear this stuff!" She glanced at the pair of mares to her left and smiled sheepishly under their curious gazes. "Uhm.... Not that it's bad, ma'ams. I just don't like it."

"It's not a problem. I don't like it either, but it makes my hooves look absolutely fabulous! Isn't that right, Fluttershy, darling?"

"Oh. Uhm.... It's... nice, I guess."

Twilight smiled and patted the berry-maned filly’s head with an expertly filed hoof as she stood from her chair. “You did a great job. If you didn’t already have your cutie mark, I’d say you would definitely have it soon if you kept working here.”

Ruby blushed, squirming nervously on her hooves, and pointed back towards the inner spa. “J-just head back there and find an open bed to relax on. One of the sisters will meet you as soon as they can. The storage room is just to the right when you pass through.” She watched as the lavender mare thanked her and walked off, heading towards the back room. “Oh! Don’t forget that I’ll visit when mommy chooses a day!”

“I’ll be looking forward to it!”

“Chooses a day for what, Pinchy?”

“Miss Twilight helped Auntie Cheerilee with a class yesterday, so mommy wanted to thank her by making dinner.” The beige filly nodded, giving Rarity an apologetic smile, and immediately refocused her attention on the pristine white hooves of her patron.

~{U}~{D}~

The inner room of the spa was just as lavish as the lobby and main relaxation room, dotted with several massage tables around the outer wall and ending at the sauna’s wooden barrier. There were significantly less ponies in this room compared to the lobby, yet even here ponies mingled about being waited on by foals and spa sisters. It was the center for relaxation in the entire building and even the normally rambunctious crusader trio seemed calm and patient, but Twilight couldn’t settle her nerves.

Her fears seemed unfounded, it was unlikely that Topsy was in any sort of trouble, but a nagging feeling in her mind just couldn't quash itself out. She cast a furtive glance about the serene spa setting, at all of the mares and occasional stallions on the verge of blissful sleep, then turned her eyes to the lone door to her right. It was the only passage with any sort of signing, marked blatantly with large, bold letters.

DO NOT ENTER
SPA STAFF ONLY

The storage room couldn't be any more obvious to the mare, and so, after checking again to make sure she wasn't being watched, she quickly made her way over to the soft blue door. As she drew closer, a familiar sound reached her ears, one she had heard mere minutes ago, but this time without the raucous din of the other ponies. It was a noise she was all-too-familiar with from her lonely days spent in the solitude of the Golden Oaks Library's live-in loft.

Sobbing.

Author's Note

This is somewhat important, so skip at your own risk

Author’s Notes: And here we go! On to the next installment of future sexy ~~fun~~ ~~happy~~ foal times. Speaking of sexy foal times, be expecting that soon. As in probably next chapter soon. As you all know, I promised sexy foal time with all the fillies and I shall deliver ! Just gotta get to ‘em. Also, for the first installment, Topsy will be the delicious tail that Twilight will be forever tapping. After that, given enough time (or perhaps I’ll just make a second story for you all?) I’ll be putting out the ‘fuck ‘em all!’ version (a.k.a. writing it). For now, though? Enjoy until the next yummy bit comes out.

P.S. For those of you not following my other story, After That Fateful Night, I apologize for any waiting on your part. I am balancing two stories, and tend to update alternatively (unless I get stuck on one or the other), so it makes it difficult to get this out as quickly as I’m sure many of you want. Also, I now have a job, so that adds to time a little bit, too (and it’s very much illegal for me to write while I’m at work). I’ll be trying my darndest, though and you can definitely expect me to finish this (no such thing as a hiatus for me!).

Anyhoof, that be all! Have fun and Peppy out~!
