>Wow...what a big white grub...
>You just found a very big, slippery and slimy white grub and...you can’t help but to notice how phallic it looks...
>Carefully you place the end of it in your mouth and push more of it in, the massive grub stretching your jaw as it slides in
>But instead of biting on it you pull it out, and then move back in again
>The big slippery grub sliding in and out of your mouth feels erotic and naughty...
>With your head hazy you pull the grub out from your mouth, now even sloppier from your drool and all lubed up for your already hungrily open hole
>You push the end of the grub in and it immediately starts to wiggle backwards, moving deeper and deeper inside you while filling you up to the point you almost pee yourself
>T-that’s right little grub, pleasure your queen~ it’s so good....
>And just as you were thinking your body could not take it the grub is now in it’s new home, its head poking out from your ponut as you enjoy the pulsating sensations of its bodily movement inside your bowels
>Suddenly it turns its head so it’s looking at you and-
>”Daylily?”
>Your eyes go wide as you stare at the big grub up your butt
“Tulip?”
>Suddenly you’re back at the spring with Tulip looking at you
>”You were making weird moaning noises while taking a nap”
>You stare at the filly for a few seconds more before scooting away from beneath her
“Yeah I was having a nightmare...”
>You are too taken back by the nature of your erotic dream to even begin to feel something about yourself for having such a dream, and enjoying it so much...
>”I’m pretty dry now so should we get going?”
>You’re not that dry...n-no not like that, you’re wet because of Tulip
>...still not like that, because she rubbed herself against you-oh forget it
>You stretch your hooves + wings and Tulip yawns before scratching her mane a little with her wing claw
>But suddenly you feel something on your hind hoof that makes your blood run cold
>You whip your head so you can look at your hoof and confirm what you feared
>Ants, pretty big, mean colored ants with big mandibles, climbing up your hoof and one of them looks like it’s about to bite you
>One of your hooves stepped on an ants nest and now they are all starting to swarm up your hoof
“SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
>You spook Tulip a little by screeching loudly as you fly past her in panic, kicking your hooves around to shake the ants off of you
>”Wait up mom! Mom! Daylily my mother calm down!”
>You stop flying away and give your whole body a good shake while in the air, just in case any ants were left on you
>Tulip catches up to you and seems amused at you shaking yourself and checking yourself over to make sure there’s no ants on you
>”How can you be so afraid of ants?”
>You shrug
“I don’t know, they’re just so gross and icky and come in large numbers and bite and sting you and get everywhere, eugh!”
>Your body shakes and you feel a knot in your tummy from the memories of ending up in close contact with large anthills many times during your travels, millions of little spawns of the devil scattering towards you or along your body
“Maybe we should fly the rest of the way”
>Tulip has nothing against it and the two of you continue your travel by wings instead of hooves
>But after a little bit of flying you decide that it’s best to continue on hoof instead of flying since it uses up more energy
>And the ground below did not look like it had any ants or anthills nearby
>It’s not like you’re afraid of all ants blindly, there are good ants like the small black ones that just want sugar and wouldn’t hurt anything, and the large forest ants that live in dying trees might have huge mandibles but as long as you leave them be they do the same to you
>The problem is with ants that are just pure evil and want to sting or bite you for no good reason
>But still the sight of any kind of ants in very large numbers makes your blood pump
>Rest of the walk goes by mostly in silence, with Tulip asking if the two of you are there yet every now and then
>But after a few hours of walking and carrying Tulip around every now and then because she was too tired to walk Tulip runs up to you and pulls on your coat to get your attention
>”I’m hungry again...”
>Her stomach lets out a loud grumble and you smirk
“That’s good, because...”
>You push some shrubs away and expose none other than Hollow Shades in the distance behind them
>Tulip’s expression brightens up
>”Yay real food! I won’t have to eat leaves and insects!”
>And she instantly starts flying towards the town while you follow suit
>You tell her to head to your house and eat whatever she wants, and she tells you she was going to do that anyway before taking off
>You’ve got to go and tell Midnight Delight about your decision of adopting Tulip 
>But as you reach the orphanage something seems...different...
>You walk in and the whole place sounds strangely empty
“Midnight Delight?”
>There’s no response, how odd
>You make your way to her office and push the door open
>Inside you find Midnight Delight’s posterior as her behind is turned your way, her face deep inside a box as she searches for something
>You’re about to call out to her when you suddenly get an idea
>She’s your friend, and you could try to spook her as a prank
>You suddenly feel a bit giddy, you haven’t had the chance to do that a lot
>You sneak up to her and you’re about to poke her on her butt when she moves and you end up poking her-
>”Oh~?”
>You blush as Midnight Delight lifts her head up from the box and looks behind herself, finding you, the mare who just pretty much booped her vagina
>”Well aren’t you feeling frisky~”
>She stops doing what she was doing and takes a few steps towards you, making you back away a little
“Hi Midnight, I was just-“
>She places her hoof on your lips
>”You don’t have to say, I know what you want to do...and I was feeling like celebrating a little~”
>Her hoof touches your tummy and starts to slowly make its way towards your crotch as you blush redder and find it hard to keep looking her in the eyes
“C-celebrate? What a-mmph!”
>You’re silenced by Midnight’s lips, and even if it does make you feel a bit tingly you push her away
>She stares at you with confusion while licking her lips
>”Have you been eating something weird?”
>You decide to not mention anything about your insect meal for the sake of well, yourself
“Midnight wait I wasn’t after that, I was going to spook you for fun but you ended up moving and I booped the wrong part of you”
>”Oh...well this is kind of awkward...”
>Both of you now look at walls and the floor/ceiling while avoiding looking at each other
“What do you mean with celebrating? And where are all the orphans, this place seems oddly quiet...”
>Midnight smiles happily
>”Glad that you asked, you’ll never believe what happened, they all got adopted!”
>She taps her hooves in excitement
“All of them in a single day?”
>”Yeah, speaking of that since Tulip was the only orphan left I registered her to you and forged your signature, before you get angry I’ll promise her free education at my school”
>You stare at Midnight Delight with confusion while she awaits cautiously how you react
“I...what school?”
>”Now that there are no more orphans I am going to stop running an orphanage and take on my childhood dream of being a teacher! I’m opening a little school for young fillies and colts!”
>Midnight Delight dances around her office happily while you tilt your head to the side
“I see...”
>”So will you forgive me for a youths worth of free education for little Tulip?”
>She snuggles against you again
>”I could also give you other things in return~”
>You decide to not tell her about your decision to adopt Tulip anyway
“Yeah I think that is fair enough”
>Midnight Delight gives you bedroom eyes and brushes her hoof against your chest tuft
“And no need for all that other stuff, I think I hear Tulip calling me and I have to tell her the good news so bye!”
>Midnight Delight grabs your tail before you can fly out
>Because you stopped flying when you felt something grab onto you and drag along the floor
>”Is she doing ok?”
>You nod
“Yeah, she just got a bit silly with her jealousy and tried to run away by train, but I caught her”
>Midnight lets go of your tail
>”That’s good...see you around, and if you feel like celebrating with me you know where I live~”
“Uhh...You too? well, bye bye then”
>...You too? Did you just invite Midnight over to your house for sum fuq? Nah, she must realize Tulip is there with you and it would not be proper to do...whatever she has in mind
>Though you can guess the gist of it...
>Once you arrive home you find Tulip in the middle of raiding your fridge and making a mess

---

>Nnhhh...why is it a bit cold? Oh the blanket fell off...
>You are Tulip, a batpony filly, and you rub your eyes before lifting your head up from Daylily’s tummy
>You and Daylily, your now mommy, were cuddling before falling asleep together and you must have wiggled around since your head isn’t resting on her chest anymore but on her tummy
>And right between her legs, she’s sleeping with her hooves spread open
>You hoist yourself up and back off so you’re no longer lying on top of her
>Daylily’s ear twitches once but then nothing as she’s sleeping pretty deep
>Where has that blanket gone...but suddenly your attention is drawn by something
>Daylily’s privates and her teats
>You keep looking at them while your consciousness suddenly feels more awake, you have seen them before but you really have not had the chance to research them like this, the last time you came in contact with them was a bit...intense, for any close up examination
>You glance at Daylily and give her thigh a poke
>she doesn’t react in any way so with a sneaky look on your face you peer closer at her privates
>They seem like you’d expect, but when poking at it, it feels much more softer and spongier than you’d think
>At least more than yours, but you suspect it’s because it’s so much more bigger than yours, your own will probably be the same way once you grow up
>Your ears twitch as you notice that Daylily’s breathing has become more audible and different, but looking at her face reveals to you that she’s still fast asleep, although her face seems like it’s blushing gently
>So you return to poking and gently prodding her marebits, and you even take a cautious sniff
>There’s a lewd scent that’s not around that area normally, and now that you keep looking at her crotch it seems like it’s puffing up a little like a blowfish, you could even say her marebits seem to be starting to blush
>And she seems to be getting moist, coupled by the scent growing stronger
>Suddenly Daylily lets out a soft sigh followed by some murmur in her sleep, making you freeze
>But she stays asleep even if you poke her with more pressure than before
>Your heart is beating fast and the sensation of her wet, soft pussy coupled by the sounds she makes and the scent of obvious arousal makes you start to feel warm and tingly down there
>But you promised to not do anything lewd with her...
>Suddenly you get a devilish expression on your face
>But it should be fine if she does not wake up right? Besides she’s obviously enjoying it and you really don’t feel like stopping, in fact you feel like doing it more
>Her pussy seems to be opening up now and is visibly leaking, telling you to keep doing what you’re doing, prodding, poking, rubbing and spreading it, taking in all the hidden wonders of it as it moves, twitches and quivers, even wobbles while making wet sounds when you gently slap it
>You keep glancing if Daylily has woken up every now and then, but you’re no longer focusing on staying stealthy as much as you were at the start
>But as you’re about to boop it with your nose and maybe try to taste her, you notice that her teats seem to have swollen a bit too and how perky her nipples look
>You get a sudden urge to suckle on them, and that’s exactly what you decide to do as you carefully take one of her nipples into your mouth and suck on it gently
>Daylily lets out a moan in her sleep and as you play with her nipple with your tongue she arches her back a little, making you freeze again and get out of the heat of the moment momentarily
>But as she just keeps sleeping, albeit panting a bit now, you gently suck on the teat and pull on it until it pops out of your mouth
>Now it looks almost like it is going to burst or start leaking something, how erect her nipple is and how swollen both of them look
>Daylily milk...warm and probably would taste very sweet, you’d love to drink some like a good girl while touching yourself like a bad girl
>Your own little nipples at your flat little teats feel like they are trying to shoot off as they tingle in a bothersome way, almost like they were trying to get even more erect as you place your chin between Daylily’s teats and grab both of them before squeezing them together with your face rubbing against them, enjoying the softness and the feelings of her perky nipples rubbing your face
>You’d really like to try rubbing your nipples against hers, it already feels good to rub them against the bed
>You’re torn between continuing to touch her and starting to touch yourself already, but you decide to take advantage of this situation fully since Daylily would never let you do this to her and you can touch yourself almost anytime you want
>Suddenly you pull up as you hear a new strange wet sound
>Daylily’s mouth is now open and she’s blushing very red while panting, and her teats seem like they’re at critical mass, trying their hardest to leak out milk if she had any
>But your attention changes to her crotch as you find her marehood even puffier and blush, winking in a moist manner as if calling you to touch it
>Your whole body trembles in anticipation as you keep staring at it, mesmerized by how it moves and seems to be inviting you to put something in it
>You really want to lick it...You’re going to lick it
>You make contact with her marehood with your mouth and gently begin to kiss it, moving your tongue against it like it was a mouth you were giving a French kiss for
>Her gooey slick nectar tastes sort of salty yet sweet and arousing, and you can’t help but to munch on it and nibble it with your lips while your own hooves begin to reach for your own crotch
>Her pussy keeps moving against your mouth and along the movements of your tongue as you push your snout deeper between her crotch and play with it with your tongue, making Daylily let out lewder and lewder moans in her sleep
>Your hooves begin to gently touch the are near your own slightly more puffy than normal fillyhood and you gently massage your perky little nipples and your flat little crotchboobs
>Suddenly she moves her hooves and grabs a hold of your head with her thighs
>You freeze and your blood runs cold as Daylily hoists herself up and takes instantly notice of you
>”What do you think you’re doing?”
>Her voice sounds icy cold and she’s staring at you with a cruel hint in her eyes
>She eases her hold and you pull your head away from her crotch, a string of saliva and other juices connecting your mouth and her marehood
>You gulp and quickly wipe your mouth
“D-daylily...what’s going on? I was dreaming of eating an...oyster?”
>You give her a weak nervous smile coupled by a squee while feeling sweat starting to form on your face
>You’re so screwed, she caught you and you got carried away!
>Suddenly Daylily sits up and grabs you
“Waah!”
>And she then positions you over her knee
>”You...”
>And you feel her hoof making contact with your behind, sharply, and then repeatedly after that
>You let out squeaks as Daylily whoops your ass like never before, the sting turning into burning pain turning into numbness
>It’s intense, and not pleasuring at all! It hurts it hurts it hurts it...it hurts but yet you are also feeling intensely warm all over...even pleasantly so, especially in your-
>But then you’re let go and you collapse onto the cold floor, twitching with fresh tears rolling down your face and your sore behind pointed upwards
>But also with your eyes rolled back and your mouth open, silently gasping for breath and saliva leaking out
>Daylily shuffles and goes back to sleep while you gather yourself
>Your butt burns, but you’re feeling even more like pleasuring yourself now, even if you are in pain there’s an intense heat in your mind, it’s painful yet the same kind of a tension that you feel when you’re close to feeling really good after touching yourself a lot
>Carefully you roll over, not wanting to wake Daylily up again, and also because you’re so tender and then you reach for your crotch
>It feels more sensitive to the sensation of touch than you’ve ever felt, and you get to rubbing it silently, the disability to really rub it furiously making the excitement inside you rise up at a painfully slow pace
>But that in itself also feels good, making that intense welling up inside yourself make it hard to breathe as your insides feel like they’re tensing up to the point of explosion
>You’re biting onto your other hoof to keep yourself silent and not let any of your whimpers escape as you suddenly gush, soiling the floor with your love juices that make the parts of your spanked raw behind that they get on sting and burn like you were pricked by nettles
>Yet the pleasure reigns over the pain and both of those intense emotions seem to mix together as you let your mind be flooded by the immense bliss
>You...were a bad girl again...you’re sorry mommy but it just felt too good, you could not help yourself...you didn’t want to help yourself
>Trying your hardest to not let your panting be heard you soon fall fast asleep, absolutely spend and sore all over
>And as you do so, you miss something as it happens
>you are Daylily and you are feeling...what exactly?
>You woke up with your daughter’s head between your legs, pleasuring you, and you lost it
>You spanked her hard, maybe even too hard, and you’re not even sure where you mad at her doing something like that, or the fact that it was arousing you so very much
>You feel guilty for feeling that way, especially when it was you who demanded that nothing lewd would be happening between the two of you, yet you have been feeling things every now and then
>And you now feel more aroused than you ever do when playing with yourself, maybe out of the increased taboo or maybe out of...
>Your thoughts are stopped as your ears pick up a sound you recognize the wet sounds of somepony pleasuring themselves
>Tulip is masturbating!?
>But...you can’t blame her, your nether region and whole body burns intensely after such an arousing experience...your body demands for the release it was preparing for
>You could not stop from reaching down even if you wanted to as you begin to rub your clit aggressively for a quick release
>You can hear how Tulip is trying to not moan and how fast she’s breathing and working herself to an orgasm
>You really hope she can’t hear you as you cliturbate furiously
>The multiple taboos of this whole situation seem to fuel your arousal and make this feel more intense than it usually feels for you
>You hate to admit it but this is better than just doing it by yourself
>But then you suddenly hear the sounds of Tulip gushing as she orgasms and you also go over the edge with memories of that one time you and her shared in the throws of passion
>After your own orgasm subsides you bring your hoof to your mouth and lick it clean in your lust fueled state before enjoying the afterglow for some time
>After it subsides you feel disappointed in yourself, you’re the adult here yet you went and once again allowed your libido win over your rationality
>You get up and look at the disheveled and messy, yet peacefully sleeping Tulip
>You lift her up and put her down on the bed and look at her sleep
>With the lust gone your mind feels clear again and your motherly emotions return to you as you snuggle with her and hold her close
>Breathing in her sweet scent...you’re starting to feel a little bit aroused by it
>You’re going to have to think of a solution for this, Tulip’s just a child who’s just discovered sexuality, yet to feel any of the needed shame for those things that adults do, and you need to...
>...there’s only one thing you know that might cure you, you’re going to need to get rutted by a stallion
>Any sexual experience you have ever had has been with another mare and your mind is just trying to find the optimal way to release the pressure, making you feel these things for your daughter since she’s the only output for all of your love for now, it’s all getting mixed up
>That or you’re just a filly molesting deviant, but that’s definitely the way things are! You’re normal, just inexperienced in love and sex and suddenly with a daughter of your own!
>You pat Tulip as she sleeps peacefully and mumbles something in her sleep
>You’re going to get a dick in you as fast as possible, for the sake of both of you...wait you’re touching her with the hoof you were touching yourself with, now there’s you-juices on her mane...
>You apologize to her silently and take refuge in the fact that the two of you are going to be showering anyway after waking up
>And you’re going to be having a proper talk with Tulip about her needs and how it’s improper of her to aim them at you, you’re just going to have to keep doing it until it sinks in and then hope she won’t feel too awkward to ever spend time with you again
>You’re going to get fucked back to normality! Viva la cock!
>...you blush and feel uneasy as you go to sleep

-------

>You hide your nether region with your tail as you traverse the streets of Hollow Shades
>You are blushing and feeling nervous, you’re on the prowl, and you’re Daylily the bat pony
>On a quest to get the lewd dicked out of your body
>At least you were but the more you think about it the more nervous you feel and you have yet to make any progress
>Not to mention is this really the way you want to loose your virginity? You always thought it’d happen under other circumstances
>though...you always have that other hole...
>Your blush deepens, from arousal mostly, as you feel your other hole starting to feel hot as your mind goes through all kinds of fantasies on what might be done to it by a thick throbbing-
>You fumble with your hooves as it gets a bit difficult to walk straight, making a few ponies glance at you curiously
>You hurry along to get out from the eyes of other ponies, feeling afraid they might notice the state you are walking around in
>Calm down Daylily, you’re not just some tart out to get her loins destroyed, and you really do not want other ponies thinking that way about you, act casual and normal
>Tulip is currently at school with Midnight Delight, she got her school running in a couple of days so your house is free for you to make use of it
>And as you reach your house again you have completed your third full walk around of Hollow Shades
>You have been completely unable to speak to a single stallion, how are you even supposed to approach them?
>Hello, my name is Daylily and I was wondering if you could come to my house and fuck my ass? You can’t walk up to a pony and say something like that!
>But to properly find a stallion through dating and making sure he’s the right one for you would just take way too much time, and you would like to cure yourself as fast as possible
>Not to mention just walking around and being pretty does not seem to work
>You feel so self conscious wearing even this light makeup and having brushed your coat, mane and tail
>Yet no stallion has even given you a hint of a cat call or a glance, not that you have noticed anyway...
>With a gulp you once again set out to walking the streets of Hollow Shades
>Maybe...maybe it’s you who needs to be the one doing the approaching...you’ve heard that many stallions would like a mare who’s in charge
>But who could you lure back to your lair to rump?
>You stop walking and stare at a lone stallion, standing at his little guard outpost, the same stallion you have dealt with a few times before
>He seemed like he might be a bit submissive?
>Not to mention you really want to stop walking around like this
>So you approach the guard pony
>”Oh, hi, it’s you, that one mare who’s really strong...”
>You give the stallion a nervous nod
“Yeah...it’s me, I’m Daylily by the way”
>The stallion simply nods and then keeps looking at you while you start to feel a bit sweaty
“Well I am having a bit of trouble at home and I was wondering if you could come over and take a look at my...backyard...”
>”Oh? What kind of trouble?”
>You nervously take a few steps towards him
“There’s a hole that needs plugging up”
>You try to put some emphasis on your words, but the guard just raises an eyebrow at you
>”You need a...hole plugged up in your backyard?”
>You just nod, feeling suddenly very overwhelmed by this exchange of words, and try to seductively brush your hoof against his armor
>The guard instead glances down at his armor and starts to rub the spot like he was thinking you were trying to brush some dirt off of it or something
“Anyway I’d really appreciate if you could...plug up my hole?”
>you turn around and attempt to do the thing that is called tail seduction, but instead move your tail too fast and hit him on the face with it, making him sneeze
>”Careful mam, your tail seems to have slapped me on the face”
“Sorry there...was a mosquito...”
>You smile nervously as the guard rubs his head
>”I don’t know, I should not leave my post and...”
>His words fall for deaf ears as you think to yourself how this is not working, and if you keep this up you’re bound to draw attention and somepony might notice what is happening
>You can already hear the ponies talking about it, the guards scorning at your behavior and Tulip loosing her respect for you because of it
>You can’t let that happen, it’s do or don’t!
>You suddenly grab the guard
“Just come with me”
>And drag him off to your house as he tries to first protest and then flee
>After dragging him into your house you throw him on the couch and lock the door before turning to face him
>He seems frightened
>”Please don’t kill me!”
>With a heavy blush you make your way to him and climb on top of him while he lies cautiously beneath you on the couch
“R-relax”
>You lean your face closer to his but then quickly pull away as he keeps staring at you
>You can’t bring yourself to do it!
>The guard hoists himself up
>”What is this about? Are you having a mental breakdown?”
>With no plans at all in your mind you just turn around and push your butt out, spreading your cheeks and lifting up your tail to expose your hungry ponut
“Put your horsecock in my butt!”
>The guard pony stares at you with shock on his face
>”Excuse me what?”
>Your face burns with shame and embarrassment, he should have mounted you like a mindless horn dog by all logic but instead you’re here making a fool and an embarrassment out of yourself
>It needs to happen or else you’re screwed, not because of Tulip but because of having done this to a guardspony, you need to sleep with him so you can blackmail him into being quiet!
>You quickly turn around and pounce the poor stallion, making him let out a feminine shriek as you rip his armor off of him and throw it to the side
>Now you’re holding the stallion down while panting hard, face sweaty and red either out of nervousness, arousal or panic
>It’s ok he’ll like it! It’s sex and stallions like sex! Once it’s in it’ll all go like it was supposed to and-
>”Mom?”
>You freeze and turn your head to the side, and find Tulip looking at you from the now open door
>The stallion wiggles out from your hold and flies out of the door while crying
>”Were you...doing lewd things with that stallion?”
>You shake your head
“We were just wrestling dear, I was teaching him some good holds and how to subdue your opponent!”
>Tulip gives you a toothy smile
>”Oh so that’s what you were doing, I thought you were doing something naughty”
>Tulip puts her backpack down and you gulp while nervously sitting down on the couch
“Y-yeah, I wouldn’t do something like that, that’s s-silly, don’t be silly...”
>You’re doomed. That stallion is going to get you thrown to bat pony jail for what you did. How could you have been so fooli-
>”Hey mom?”
>You stop fretting and look at your daughter as she appears a bit coy
>”I’m sorry for doing that thing last day when we were sleeping...I know you don’t want me to do it and stuff so I shouldn’t have done that, I’m sorry”
>You grab Tulip and give her a big hug, some of it for her saying that, most of it for comforting yourself in your panicked state
>”I was pretty good right?”
>You stop hugging your daughter and give her a stern look while she tries to feign ignorance
>”Ehehehe...”
“We’ll make a good daughter out of you yet”
>Tulip gives you a pouty bat face
>”But I’m already perfect mommy...”
>You ruffle her mane and let out a sigh, if the guards come they’ll come and you’ll just face them with your head held high without running away
>Yes, you tried to force a stallion into sex.
>...you wonder if the stallion is gay or if you just aren’t an attractive mare
>...you hope it’s not about you being ugly, you’re not the prettiest bat around but you’ve always thought you’re good looking enough
>But for now you’ll just ask Tulip what she wants to eat and cook up something for her and then just go from there, for now

----

>Well you are not sure what is going on
>It’s been a few days since the incident with the stallion and nopony has come to arrest you
>You’ve been staying indoors for the couple of days, lying to Tulip about feeling a bit ill, which made her experiment with blending all kinds of smoothies for you to help you get better
>The most interesting one was the earthworms lollipop grape pineapple celery tomato smoothie
>After that you did feel honest to Luna sick and did throw up a few times
>After that you banned Tulip from making smoothies
>And there was that whole thing about finding a pair of indecent open-crotch panties for purely sexual use Tulip found and decided to use as a superhero mask...
>And you found out about it after she came back home from playing with her ex-orphan friends all over Hollow Shades...
>But today Tulip wants to cook together with you a dish she found in one of her school books and you gave her the OK
>Only problem, you’re all out on supplies so you need to leave the house and go shopping
>And that brings you to the present, cautiously walking towards the shops and fresh fruit stands while feeling paranoid
>But that turns to terror as you lock eyes with the same guard stallion standing at the small guard post near your home
>The stallion quickly crosses his hind hooves and starts backing away while looking terrified, until he backs his rump against his guard post and lets out a mare-ish scream from the sudden contact with his rump, drawing the attention from a few curious bat ponies
>You switch from walking to flying and hide your face behind your hoof as you fly away from the scene, careful to not draw attention to yourself at all
>The shopping goes along with less excitement though and soon you find yourself starting to head back home when somepony speaks up from behind you
>”Daylily? I haven’t seen you in days, are you feeling ok? Tulip told me you were feeling a bit ill...”
>You turn around and come face to face with a light grey mare sporting her arctic blue mane in her usual bun, with a single violet stripe running in it just like her tail
>Midnight Delight stares into your eyes with her lavender ones behind her glasses
>And of course her mole on her cheek, like the one the nice earth pony mare in Appleloosa has, the one you bought a bunch of juice cherries from when passing through
>Not as big as hers, now that you think back on the mare with the fancy mane, but almost in the identical spot
“Midnight, yes I was feeling a bit ill and had to stay at home for a few days”
>You give her a forced smile
“But I am all alright now”
>Midnight Delight raises an eyebrow
>”Are you really?”
>She moves her face closer to yours and you end up looking away
“Yeah, just peachy!”
>Midnight Delight turns around, giving you a view of her behind and the cutie mark on it, a simple wooden teacher’s pointer stick
>Midnight Delight glances back at you
>”Then those rumors I have heard floating around must also be just rumors?”
>You feel your blood run cold
“...what rumors?”
>She turns around again and pulls you close to her with her violet wing
>”I just heard a very distressed guard talking of a mare that tried to assault him sexually to a few of his guard friends, he did not say many details but a few of them made me think of you”
>She has her face really close to yours now
>”You wouldn’t know anything about that would you?”
>For some reason her eyes seem more cold than they usually are
>You think about lying, but decide that you’ll tell her the truth, the whole truth
>You owe her that much for all the things she’s done for you and you just feel like lying is the last thing you should be doing, you’re straying away from the life path of a just guard
>So you tell her to follow you and after getting to a private place where there’s nopony else around than the two of you, you tell her everything
>About the lewd things, emotions, your plan to dick yourself and so on
>Midnight Delight listens to you speak, and even if you tell her about some unorthodox things she does not seem too shocked or appalled by you
>After you’re done you anxiously await for how she reacts
>Midnight Delight stares at you, and then suddenly tears well up in her eyes and she appears upset
>”Daylily how could you, you...you big idiot...”
>You’re shocked as you’re completely out of ideas how to deal with this situation
“Midnight I’m...please don’t think I’m gross because I touched Tulip like that, please, it all-“
>Midnight suddenly glares at you angrily
>”It’s not that you stupid mare, you had me and instead you went out and...”
>you reach your hoof out towards her, anxious yet curious to hear her finish her sentence, but Midnight Delight pulls away from your hoof
>Slowly and with an achy heart you retract your hoof back as Midnight Delight flies away while sniffing loudly like she was shedding a tear or two
>You let out a whimper as you try to hold yourself from tearing up
>That...that was it then...you don’t want her to dislike you but you can’t force her to like you anymore either
>Suddenly your shopping bag lets out a sound as some groceries in it shift around
>You swallow your tears down, when did your eyes get this wet? And grab your bag with your mouth
>Tulip’s waiting...you’re going to go home and cook with her, you can tear up later during the day when she’s asleep
>For now...you have some cooking to do...
>Lethargically you fly back home where Tulip awaits you with visible excitement
>You put on your best fake smile and get to helping her and after absentmindedly helping Tulip and not really registering everything she says you find yourself sitting at the table with her, silently fiddling with the food on your plate
>”Mmmm~ it’s so good isn’t it mommy?”
>You break from your depressed trance and look up to find Tulip excitedly awaiting for your reply
“Yeah, it’s really yummy”
>Tulip rolls her eyes
>”You haven’t even tasted it yet! Come on taste some”
>You take some to humor her and have a taste-wait this actually tastes pretty good!
>Your ears perk up a hint from drooping down in such a depressed manner, which seems to be all Tulip needed to see
>”Told you”
>You start to slowly eat your serving while Tulip gets herself a second one, and after finishing her second helping Tulip lets out a burp and pats her tummy
>”By the way why is there a picture of you on Midnight’s desk in her office?”
>The mention of her makes your chest ache a little as you remember how the two of you parted earlier, but you don’t let it show
“A picture Tulip? What do you mean?”
>Tulip rests her elbows on the table and slouches over to rest her head in her hooves
>”Yeah, a picture frame with a picture of you in it”
>That...is weird, you can only remember one time Midnight Delight took a picture of you, when you visited her after Tulip’s first day of school briefly, but she just snapped a random picture to test if her old camera was working, why would she frame that?
>”I mean it was pretty weird how much she talked about you even when she was still a matron and not a teacher”
“About me? What did she say?”
>Tulip shrugs
>”I wasn’t paying attention so I don’t know. But every time you visited her she was pretty happy for the rest of the day and we all got off easy from doing naughty things or pulling pranks, which was nice”
>Tulip smiles while the gears in your head start moving as you put some more food into your mouth
>Picture frame, spiral staircase, talking, rhinoceros beetle, happy from your visit, Ruins Street, fig tart, tears, rhinoceros beetle, via dolorosa, rhinoceros beetle, singularity point, Giotto, Angel, hydrangea, rhinoceros beetle, singularity point, secret emperor, not upset about filly fondling but-
>You get a feeling there were a bunch of unrelated words in that list as a reference to something
>You suddenly jump up and spit the food in your mouth out
“N-no it can’t...”
>C-could Midnight Delight-
>You rush out from your house in the middle of dinner with Tulip, you’ve got to find Midnight Delight and confirm if what you’re suspecting to be is
>As you’re heading towards her house you spot her down in the streets and quickly touch down right in front of her, spooking her a little as you suddenly appear before her
“Midnight I need to-“
>But she does not listen, instead she quickly turns around and starts running away from you
“Wait!”
>You shoot off running after her, dodging random bat ponies as you do so
>She’s much quicker on her hooves than you thought, you’re gaining on her but much more slower than you thought
>Or maybe it is the random ponies you have to dodge, like the little colt that touched your butt at the orphanage
>As he spots you he points at you and tugs at the coat of a stallion
>”Look dad that’s the mare who’s butt I touched! Hi Daylily”
“Hi and bye!”
>You run past them and chase after Midnight Delight
>She glances back and to her surprise finds you almost at a hoofs reach to your tail
>So in her panic she quickly kicks a bunch of hay bails in a pile next to the road you two are running along
>You come to a halt as you have to kick and punch the falling bails away from you so they won’t hinder you, and after the dust settles you find that Midnight Delight is once again in the lead so you chase after her quickly
>your blood is pumping as your hooves drum the ground while Midnight Delight tries to get away
>She stops at a crossroad and wildly looks from side to side while you jump into flight
>And as she notices how much more faster you’re on wings she lets out a screech and also begins to fly at the road straight ahead
>There’s some scaffold next to a house that’s being renovated and she quickly grabs onto it and tilts it over as she flies past the house
>This is not something you’re sure you can just punch and kick your way through and Midnight Delight disappears behind a corner so instead you land and quickly grab an empty wagon by the pull bar that was probably used to carry the scaffold pieces there
>With a grunt your muscles tense as you start to lift the wagon up a bit and then swing it at the falling debris with all your might as if it was an oversized baseball bat
>The wagon breaks into a splintery mess but manages to swat the falling things out of your way enough for you to discard what’s left of the wagon and chase after Midnight Delight
>Making you completely oblivious to the fact that the broken wagon you discarded hits the side of the house that was being fixed and breaks a hole into the already brittle wall, exposing a bat pony mare in the middle of a shower letting out a surprised squeak and covering herself up
>Thankfully around the corner you find a pretty long street packed with ponies so Midnight Delight is easy to notice, looking around in the air and trying to decide where to escape to next
>With your hooves aching more than your wings thanks to swinging a whole wagon around you quickly start beating your wings loudly and fly towards the mare
“Midnight Delight I need to ask you-“
>She looks at you with a frightened face and quickly dives down into the crowd and disappears as she crouches down
>You land near where she landed and look around without spotting her anywhere
>Then you peek down and past many pairs of hooves you find her sneakily crawling into an alley
>You get back into the air and land down at the entrance to the secluded alley, and to your good luck it’s a dead end
>Midnight Delight comes to a screeching halt from running towards the entrance and you
“Midnight please, there’s something I need to...”
>You blush
“T-to ask...”
>Midnight Delight starts to sweat and takes a few steps back, but then seems to notice something behind you and suddenly yells out loudly
>”Guards, help!”
>Your blood runs cold as you hear the sounds of a few ponies approaching you from behind you
>You glance behind you and find two guard ponies walking your way
>”What’s happening here?”
>”Why did you call us-hey wait!”
>Midnight Delight flies over you and the guards and disappears behind the corner as the two guards look at you suspiciously
>”Why was that mare calling for help and apparently afraid of you?”
>Suddenly the other guard looks like she realized something
>”Hey she’s the one who was seen flying away from the broken wagon!”
>The two guards now take a few steps towards you and you take a few back
“Please I need to go, I’ll pay for the wagon but now I need to fly after my friend, my only friend!”
>The male guard does not seem impressed
>”Mam friendship might be magic but that does not mean you can disregard the law, please come with us”
>You snort out some hot air in an annoyed manner
“Please this is very important, it might be about something...m-more than friendship!”
>But the guards are not having any of it
“Aaaagh!”
>You quickly grab a conveniently left empty wooden barrel and slam it down on the stallion, trapping him inside of it
>”Whoa what are you-“
>And for the mare guard you grab her into a choking hold and start choking her so you can get her to fall unconscious
>As the stallion falls over and barrel rolls into a pile of garbage and the mare struggles and kicks around, trying to break free a single random bat pony passing by glances in your direction and then does a double take and stares at the sight in horror
>You offer her as friendly of a smile as you can get, but thanks to being already exhausted and holding the mare still it comes out as a frightening grin
“Please don’t worry, nothing bad is happening here”
>The mare finally falls unconscious so you let go of the choke hold you have on her and set her down while the pony passing by lets out a panicked screech and calls for the guards
>You fly off in the direction Midnight Delight was going
>You’ll worry about that later, y-you can explain yourself! Somehow...I-it’ll all work out, probably...
>You fly around and spot a very depressed looking Midnight Delight walking towards her home with her head hung low and instantly tackle her to the ground
>Now she’s beneath you as you hold her down
“Midnight please stop running”
>Midnight Delight submits
>”I could not run away even if I wanted to with you panting on top of me like that”
>Her expression does not change from the sad one but her cheeks do get a bit of blush
“I was thinking about things and I needed to ask you if-“
>Midnight Delight cuts you off
>”I think you already know that I have feelings for you, chasing after me like that!”
>She starts to sob and you climb off of her
>So it is true, all the clues were pointing at that sort of a conclusion
>You feel relieved that she did not simply get upset because you were gross and didn’t want to be your friend anymore, but...now what?
“I had no idea...”
>Midnight Delight removes her glasses and wipes her eyes
>”Obviously, otherwise you wouldn’t have told me about trying to sleep with some random stallion. Why didn’t you come to me, I could have...”
>Her voice trails off and now you’re blushing too
“Well I have never done it with a stallion, and I thought that it would make me not have those feelings for Tulip every now and then” 
>Midnight Delight lets out a sigh
>”You already did lewd things with her, those feelings are going to be there and the longer you try to deny them or push them away the stronger it will get. You need to accept that you might occasionally find her attractive in that way and just choose not to act on any of those urges, or better yet do those things with me instead!”
>You’re a bit taken back by her outburst of please rut me, but she does have a point
>But...
“But I...don’t like mares like that”
>Midnight Delight rolls her eyes
>”Yet you fooled around with me and Tulip”
>Now you feel uncomfortable
“Yeah but I...I don’t know, I’ve only been with a mare, and a filly, and I just don’t know if...I haven’t even been in love yet and, I mean I do like you, you are an important pony to me but I thought as a really close friend and I-“
>Suddenly you feel something hit you on the head and knock you out
>As your consciousness fades you hear Midnight Delight yelling something and a voice you recognize as the guard stallion you trapped in the wooden barrel
>So...he got free and caught you...

---

>Truly this is the worst feeling of waking up, as you find yourself in pretty much what you were expecting to see once you came to
>On a bed in a jail cell
>You get up and find a few familiar faces in the holding cell, those two stallions that tried to kidnap Tulip some time ago
>They take notice of you having woken up
>”Hey lad look the lass has woken up”
>”Fancy seeing you ‘ere lassy, what’re you in for?”
>”Please don’t hit us again though I still can’t fly straight”
>You’re about to say something when a familiar looking guard pony approaches the cell
>”Destroying Ms. Haystacks hay bail she finally got up with that bad back of hers, destroying public property, a merchants wagon and an antique house of historical significance, not to mention assaulting two of my guards, one of which you choked, and then pushing a mare down for I don’t know what but if I am to believe the story of one of my men you were going to drag her to your house and try to forcefully engage in sex with her and you match oddly much to the description of a pony who robbed a train to Canterlot recently, not to mention all the previous problems you’ve caused”
>It’s the same stallion who gave you a very stern talking to after you went and saved Daylily from the two bad ponies that are now staring at you with admiration
>”Wow lass you’ve sure sunk down deep into the rabbit hole”
>”Can we call you our boss?”
>With a tearful glare, mostly because it is sinking in how much you have destroyed any chance of ever being a guard now, or having a good reputation in Hollow Shades, and bark a no at them before pouting in a depressed manner
>”Sure thing boss”
>”Don’t mind us boss”
>The higher ranking guard pony pokes a metal bar a few times to make some sound
>”Ok ok break up the comedy act you three”
“Wh-you three!? There’s no three!”
>”Boss you’re hurting my feelings”
>”Mine even more”
>”Please don’t hit us”
>”Yeah, but you can hit him”
>”Hey what was tha-“
>You shoot an angry and a bit teary glare at the two and they lift up their hooves and quickly back up against the wall
>You let out a sigh and just collapse onto the ground in a depressed manner
“So...what’s going to happen to me now?”
>The guard pony takes off his helmet and sets it on a table before continuing
>”I should lock you up, but I am prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt if you do a lot of community service and help repair everything that you’ve broken”
>You let out a whimpe-wait that’s it?
>You lift up your head and look at the older stallion with confusion on your face
>”I do remember you, I have to say you’ve certainly grown a lot from that fumbly and reserved young mare who tried out to become a guard a few years ago. You’ve got guts kid I give you that”
>His expression returns to the more stern one
>”But you have a long way to go if you’re even thinking of trying out to become a guard pony again. But Midnight Delight did apologize and explain some of the situation so, if you promise to stay out of any more trouble and do your community service you’re free to go, for now”
>You begin to sweat a little
“How much did she explain, she didn’t say anything weird did she?”
>You give the pony a bad poker face
>”No, if you don’t count her amorous feelings towards you weird”
>Good, she didn’t say anything about Tulip...you didn’t want to add that to the list of things you’ve done that’s known amongst the guards...
>The pony opens the cell door and tells you to report to the guard post near your house next Monday, and with that you’re free to go with the two stallions calling out to you and telling you not to abandon your new henchstallions
>You’re still a bit amazed at how easy that went, you were prepared for the worst talk and whooping of your life
>As you were thinking about that you were not really looking where you were going and almost walked into-
>Oh no, it’s the mare who you strangled unconscious
>She stares at you with wide eyes and an open mouth
“I’m really sorry I just-“
>The mare shakes her head
>”Nah it’s fine, it didn’t hurt at all, in fact it kind of felt goo-“
>The mare quickly covers her mouth with her hoof and blushes crimson, and now you’re the one wit the wide eyes and an open mouth
>”Excuse me!”
>She rushes past you and into the main office of the Hollow Shades guard
>...somehow, you’re starting to feel that this town is not as well protected as you have always thought?
>You decide to head home before you learn something else that you didn’t need to know
>As you walk in Tulip flies straight at you and knocks you over while hugging you
>”Mom! I thought you were thrown into jail and never coming back!”
>You hug the filly bag before lifting her off of you and rising back up, and then coming face to face with Midnight Delight
>She’s much more composed than she was the last time you saw her
>”Welcome back”
“Hi...”
>And then there’s silence, you don’t know what to say
>But Midnight Delight beats you to it
>”I’m to assume you have not reach any kind of a conclusion on our little...matter?”
>You hang your head down
“No...I haven’t had time to think about it at all and I just don’t know what to do about...”
>Midnight Delight lets out a sigh
>”I thought as much”
>Midnight Delight lifts your head up with her hoof and suddenly kisses you on the mouth while maintaining eye contact
>Your wings fly open, eyes go wide and your face goes red as your brain freezes up and you simply stand there, letting Midnight kiss you while Tulip gasps
>Midnight Breaks the kiss and for once you don’t feel like the stronger one of the two
>”While you’re busy figuring it out I’ll be coming for you Daylily, I love you and I’m going to do my best to make you feel the same way about me”
>Midnight Delight then looks at Tulip who’s got her hooves on her cheeks as she stares at the two of you in surprise
>”Tulip, see you on Monday”
>Midnight Delight walks past you as you still just...stand there, and brushes her tail along your face as she does so before walking out of the door and hip checking your door close
>You just stare at the door while feeling a number of things, mainly awkward and very warm
>Tulip walks up to you while blushing gently herself, and you turn your head to face her as she stares up at you
>”Gee Daylily two moms?”
>You scrunch your mouth
“Tulip please...”
>And that’s how your weekend began

----

>Sunday evening, the beginning of the night between Sunday and Monday, perfect night to laze around before another week begins
>You’re Daylily the bat pony and next week your community service begins, so for now you’re just going to relax
>There’s sounds coming from your kitchen so Tulip must be up and making herself something for breakfast, you’d better rise up and go see that she’s actually eating something and not just emptying your cupboards from various sweet things
>A little stretching, a little bit of rubbing yourself against your fresh sheets while gently eeee~ing, and up you go
>As you yawn and look inside your cozy little home and kitchen however your relaxation turns to alarm
>What you see are the two stallions that were in the slammer with you, and the ones who tried to rob you and kidnap Tulip and all that other jazz
“Tulip!”
>You quickly fly to-wait no you stop and stare as one of the stallions acts as a living chair for Tulip and the other one presents all the sweets he can find in various places all over the kitchen before her
>Tulip and the two stallions take notice of you and Tulip greets you happily
>”Hi Daylily! These man-servants you have are pretty handy!”
>The two stallions just give silent greetings to you with their hooves as you land and now just walk to the kitchen
“Tulip don’t call them my man-servants...Why are you two even here? What do you want, how did you get in?”
>The one beneath Tulip rises up and Tulip flies off of him and sits down on a normal chair
>”I lock picked the door boss, it’s my talent, see?”
>He shows you his butt with a lock pick cutie mark
“I see...no that doesn’t explain anything!”
>Now the other stallion throws himself at your hooves
>”Please boss come with us to the thieves guild and be out leader!”
>He starts to kiss your hooves while begging you so you take a step back because it’s kind of gross
>Tulip is now staring at you with big sparkly eyes
>”My mom is the boss of a thieves guild!? Awesome!”
“No Tulip that’s not a proper reaction to anything like that...and what’s this about a guild?”
>Tulip hangs her head and mutters an apology for you and then sucks on her lollipop sadly
>The lock pick butt one starts talking
>”That’s right lass, we’re part of the notorious thieves guild of Hollow Shades, and you are the perfect mare to be our leader”
>you raise an eyebrow
“Notorious? This is the first time I’ve even heard anything about it”
>The other stallion who was kissing your hooves rises up from the floor
>”We’re...just that good”
>Both of them offer you very forced and awkward smiles now
>You’re about to tell them to get out, but then the gears in your head start moving
>If these two are talking even an inch of truth...turning in any kind of organized crime to the guard could really aid you on restoring your reputation...
“Sure I’ll come and check it out”
>Both stallions do a little cheer and like that the three of you, not four no matter how much Tulip was insisting and then threw a small tantrum, headed off to this thieves guild
>And where that lead you was the door to a basement inside a random house, through which you would have walked if it would not have been for the sudden voice of an older mare
>”Butterknife! I can’t believe it, you finally have a girlfriend!”
>The one with the butter knife cutie mark suddenly looks uncomfortable while the one with the lock pick applies his hoof to his face in an action also know as a facehoof
>”M-mom no this-“
>But the older mare who you now suspect of being the mother of the one called Butterknife grabs your hooves while looking so happy she might cry
>”Oh thank you for brightening up the day of this old mare, I thought my son was a lost cause but here he is, bringing home such an attractive mare like you!”
>The mom pulls you into a hug that is making you feel uncomfortable, but thankfully Butterknife breaks it off and pushes his mother away
>”That’s all lovely and all mom but I have official guild business to discuss and-”
>The mare lets out a chuckle
>”Oh that little guild you and your friends talk about, don’t let me stop you from showing your little club house to your special somepony, don’t play too many games now”
>”No mom I told you it’s not a club house-mom!”
>The mare disappears into the house and you are starting to feel the hint of suspicion that you will not be finding a den of organized crime in here
>The door is pushed open and you’re led into a small basement with a few chairs and other stuff lying around
>It’s your typical friend X’s mom’s basement for role playing and nerdy hobbies
>There’s a singe stallion sitting at the table and reading a comic which he puts down as he notices you
>”So this is the lass eh? Well I’m afraid if she wants to be the top dog in this little slice of heaven she has to defeat me”
>The stallion gets up and starts to hop around you
>”Come on lass put your hooves up!”
>You kick him in the face, gently, while he passes by your butt during his whole hopping around you repeatedly
>And he ends up falling to the floor unconscious...it wasn’t even that hard of a kick!
>The one with the lock pick of a cutie mark takes a look at the stallion on the floor
>”Well done boss-lass, you defeated our temporary leader Sneak so easy. I’m Lockpick by the way, if you ever need a lock picked I’m the pony for it”
>You look at the stallion with an unimpressed look on your face
“This is not a guild, it’s just three grown stallions in a basement”
>Suddenly the one called Sneak comes to
>”No no no lass, I can guarantee you we’re a proper guild of thieves in here”
“With just three members?”
>”Everypony else left because we’ve been having a bit of bad luck for some time now”
“In a basement?”
>”We had to abandon our usual hide-out for reasons, this is only temporary until we get back on our hooves again”
>You keep staring at Sneak while shaking your head in disappointment, but then Butterknife joins in on the conversation
>”Anyway boss-lass-lady...we need to think of a proper codename for you at some point, we heard of your little thing on Monday, nice work infiltrating on our first ever target towards restoring the guild to its former glory”
>You show your confusion on your face to them
“What are you even talking about, I’m helping an elderly pony stack hay on Monday”
>Lockpick joins in as well
>”Yeah, that old pony is rumored to have something really valuable hidden in his home lass, and we’re going to steal it with your leadership”
>You can’t believe it, these three idiots are thinking of robbing an older pony because they’re too busy pretending to be some kind of a thieves guild
>You give them all a glare
“No robbing!”
>The three stallions seem confused
>”But boss we-“
>You stomp your hoof down
“And I am not your boss. This needs to stop and you three need to face reality”
>Before they can say anything the older mare suddenly waltzes in with a tray of cupcakes
>”I thought you boys would be feeling hungry so I fixed you up something to eat”
>Butterknife does not seem too pleased
>”Mom we’re in a middle of a top secret meeting! Official guild business!”
>You just walk past the mare and out of the open door to the basement
“Don’t forget what I said, or you three will have to deal with me”
>And with that you leave this complete waste of time behind, instead of finding organized crime to destroy for good guard points you found three stallioncolts playing pretend

----

>”Good evening~”
>You stare into the eyes of Midnight Delight as she smiles down upon you
>You’re Daylily and you just woke up and found Midnight Delight in your bed, with you, hovering on top of you and staring at you amorously
>Her mane is undone from her usual bun and flows down her shoulders, and she’s removed her glasses as well
“Good...why are you here Midnight? How did you even get in and why are you in bed with me?”
>She lets out a sweet giggle that makes you blush and also tingle a little
>”I made a spare key, and I thought I’d bring you breakfast in bed”
>You keep staring at the pony with your hooves pulled up and against your chest for safety
“You mean actual breakfast and not yourself right?”
>Midnight shrugs
>”I’m fine either way”
>You blush a little bit more
“No that’s not going to happen, besides Tulip is...what is she up to?”
>Midnight Delight climbs off of you
>”Eating breakfast in silent terror that her teacher came over before school starts”
>Ah, figures...poor Tulip, Midnight Delight coming over must have been a shock to her
>You wiggle yourself into a sitting position and Midnight flies to fetch a tray with various things on it that she places on the bed before doing the same with herself
>”Dig in Daylily, you’ll need a lot of endurance and stamina”
>You spit out some of the juice you were drinking
>”...for the community work, remember?”
>You wipe your mouth and offer her an awkward smile
“Of course, for that...”
>After feeding you a little bit in a teasing manner Midnight Delight excuses herself and leaves to prepare for her job and you leave the bedroom to find a grumpy looking Tulip on the couch
“Why the frowny face?” 
>Tulips huffs
>”I wanted to come and wake you up but Midnight didn’t let me...”
>You walk over to her and pet her head
“You can wake me up tomorrow evening”
>Tulip pushes her head up against your hoof
>”Can I also make you breakfast?”
“Sure, just...make something that actually exists instead of putting things into a blender and calling it a smoothie...”
>Tulip looks up at you
>”So do I make it like you do and open a few cans, or actually make something?”
>You ruffle her mane
“Hey I’ve been learning to cook too and don’t do that so often”
>Tulip giggles and playfully starts to push your hoof away, and you retaliate with ruffling her mane even harder and soon enough it has escalated into a full blown tickle fight
>Which you won in an embarrassed manner when you managed to tickle Tulip so much she peed herself a little, and after that she was feeling self conscious about it and it was a bit awkward for the rest of the morning
>And after she headed for school you headed out to the guard outpost to starts your redemption
>Long story short after getting briefed by the same stallion you had your embarrassing encounter with, who now seemed thankfully not as afraid of you, you had managed to pile the hay bails back into a neat little mountain for the elderly bat pony who left to visit a shop
>But as you were enjoying the fruit of your labor...well easy labor, they did not weight much anything and you were done with it fast, you noticed three familiar ponies sneaking towards the house of the elderly pony
>Sneak, Lockpick and Butterknife, all of them wearing sort of goofy looking masks...yet forgetting to cover their cutie marks completely...
>They’re not actually thinking of-ok they went in, Lockpick just picked the lock
>you can’t believe it, even after telling them not to
>Feeling upset and angry you decide to go after the foolish ponies and drag them out before anything happens or somepony notices
>After sneaking in, you can’t have any pony see you illegally enter the building right, you’re instantly noticed by the three stooges
>”Look Sneak our boss decided to pop in as well”
>”It appears that way Butterknife, she’s real boss material right there”
>”Yeah, lads we’re going to make it big after all eh Sneak and Butter?”
>”Hey why could you not have used Knife instead, that’s much more better”
>You just make your annoyance be known on your face and the three of them have their ears switch from perky to droopy
“What are you three doing here! I told you to not do this!”
>Sneak takes a step forward
>”I’m sorry boss but we can’t ignore a chance like this, your guild is really down on its luck so we need to make some cash, any cash and fast”
>You glare at them
“But it’s illegal!”
>The three of them exchange looks
>”Well we are criminals...and you’re one too”
>You take a step towards Lockpick who was the one to say that and her backs away a little
“What did you just call me?”
>Sneak pokes at Butterknife with his hoof as the two of them keep looking at you while you menacingly approach Lockpick
>”Feisty eh? I like that”
>But suddenly there’s a loud noise from outside the building, shouted out by somepony
>”PLEASE COME OUT, YOU’RE SURROUNDED!”
>Butterknife quickly rushes to a window and parts the curtains to peek out
>”Oh no it’s the guard, we’re surrounded!”
>You quickly collapse to the floor
“N-no they can’t find me here!”
>The voice belonging to a guard continues his announcement
>”PLEASE COME OUT IN A CALM FASHION YOU THREE!
>...three? Three, oh yes three, they must have seen those three stallions sneak in but not you
>You quickly get back up while the three seem to be deep in thought
>How could you manipulate-you mean suggest to these three to turn themselves in so you could sneak out of the house unnoticed...
>But then Sneak suddenly poses in triumph
>”Fear not boss I will turn myself in, and the rest of you can escape!”
>You give him a big smile and nod your head
“Oh Sneak, thank you!”
>Sneak pushes his chest out proudly while you breathe out a sigh of relaxation, it’s going to be-
>Suddenly Lockpick strikes a pose himself
>”No, I will be the one to turn myself in, I’m sure I’ll be better at it that him boss, please watch me!”
>Now Butterknife joins in too
>”No I’m gonna do it! Don’t try to look too good in front of the boss you wankers!”
>And now the three of them are fighting about it
“Wait you three please stop, just-“
>Suddnely all three of them rush to the door
>”I’m gonna do it look at me boss!”
>”No I am boss-lass I’m doing it for you-I mean the guild!”
>”Boss I love you!”
>And the three of them all tumble out of the door in a big mess
>You facehoof and shake your head
>but...it’s going to be ok now, they will lock them up and nopony has to know that you-
>Suddenly you hear Sneak’s voice from the outside, followed by some of the guards yelling
>”BOSS RUN AWAY NOW THAT WE HAVE DISTRACTED THEM!”
>”WHAT IS THERE SOMEPONY ELSE INSIDE? SEARCH THE PLACE!”
>”ROGER!”
>You kick at a chair hard enough to break it, if only they’d just stayed quiet!
>You can hear ponies rushing into the house so you retreat deeper into it, and in your panic hide inside some kind of a closet
>”Quick search all the rooms, don’t let the leader escape!”
>You look around the small and very empty closet, no window, ponies patrolling the insides of the house...how will you get out of this one?
>There’s a barrel here...could you hide in it and wait for the day to come and then sneak out?
>Nope, it’s full of glitter, dumping it all out would make it spread out from under the door and draw attention
>Every new sound of a door being opened or wings flapping or hooves drumming against the floor makes you feel more and more nervous and make your heart beat faster, it’s not gonna be long until somepony opens up the door to this closet!
>What else is there in here what else...just a small bottle of ink!
>Oh no there’s no escape, how will you, what can you...and idea comes to you
>And with no time to think it through you grasp that straw with your full abilities
>Quickly you scoop some glitter and rub it into your tail, wings and then mane, making them all glittery
>Then you splash some ink onto your hooves and cover your cutie mark on both of your flanks with identical ink splashes
>And then you close your eyes and draw a line across your face, making it appear like you were wearing one of those burglar masks 
>Here goes nothing!
>You kick the door open, spooking a few guards who were just about to open it
>You quickly rush past them and run towards the exit as they start yelling out after you
>A third guard suddenly tries to grab you but you grab him instead and fling him across the room and at a wall, making him scrape down in a comical fashion as you take flight and tackle your way out of the door
>Now in the air you quickly look at the situation at hoof, a few guards here and there, most of them detaining those three stallions, a small crowd...
>And a few guard ponies quickly flying towards you! You quickly swoop down to evade them, but then notice you’re heading straight at the three stallions and the guards keeping them in check so you pull up to just barely avoid them, making some of the glitter on you fall off and make them cough and sneeze a lot
>But the three seem to be well protected from this by their masks and they make a run for it
>”Run lads the boss lady has given us a chance to flee”
>”Thanks boss!”
>”I love you boss!”
“Shut up!”
>You try your best to avoid the two guards after you but they’re really good flyers, you’re really having to work to keep the distance, not to mention avoiding buildings, nature and other bat ponies
>Your heart is beating fast and you feel so tense and excited...excited?
>You’re... it feels almost back when you were not living in Hollow Shades but free in the nature, or that time when you and Anon were running away from the timber wolves
>It’s a thrill you have not experienced in a while, and it’s making you feel so...tingly and on the edge
>Dodge, fly away, don’t let them catch you-oh no they almost did quickly evade them, then that pony, then that building!
>You find yourself grinning and having fun!
>This is fun! It should not be but it is! It is filling you with a weird energy and it feels like your body and senses are finally being put to proper use instead of mellowing out in this town!
>That’s...that is not what you’re supposed to feel, you’re doing a bad thing! You need to stop this
>With enough distance between you and the guards you quickly round a corner and dust the glitter off while wiping the ink away
>And just in time as the guards fly after you and then stop before you
>Your heart is beating fast and your blood is pumping 
>”Excuse me Miss but did you see a glittery bat pony wearing a burglar mask fly this way?”
>You nod, struggling to keep your breathing in check
“Y-yeah, she flew that way!”
>The guards fly off to the direction you pointed and you slowly, with shaky steps, start to head back towards home
>You’re still feeling it, that excitement...it’s wrong but still a rush!
>No, that’s bad, what you did was bad, you’re going to need to have a stern talk to those three stallions
>Yeah that’s right, it’s just you not getting enough exercise while staying in this town, you need to start doing some jogging that’s all

----

>”Wait what do you mean we can’t?”
>Lockpick stares at you with confusion on his face and the two other stooges join him
“I mean it, no more criminal activities!”
>The three ponies who got you into trouble yesterday look at you with defeat
>”B-but...you were supposed to golden shower us!”
>Your mouth falls open and you blush crimson
“Y-you three want me to do WHAT to you!?”
>The three appear confused and then Sneak speaks up
>”Um we meant an actual golden shower, not the...you know...”
“Oh...”
>Great, now you feel extremely awkward and those three look like they’re silently judging you for thinking it in that kind of a way
>Suddenly Butterknife speaks up
>”You know if you actually for some reason really wanted to do that and needed some pony to do it to...I’m available”
>He gets a lot of looks so he quickly adds something more to it
>”Calm down I’m just taking a piss”
>Lockpick looks even more horrified
>”Please don’t take one, boss please don’t give him one”
>Butterknife grabs Lockpick
>”Hey I meant I was just pissing with you lads as a joke!”
>Sneaks joins in as well
>”Talking about this is like pissing into the wind lads”
>Lockpick opens up his mouth but you quickly silence him with your hoof
“Say one more pee pun and urine a lot of trouble, that goes for all of you”
>You remove your hoof but Sneak speaks up again
>”Way to dampen the conversation-Ow!”
>You gave him a firm poke with your hoof
>But then Lockpick starts talking again, but thankfully business instead of Butterknife’s pleasure
>Almost as if sensing your mental remark at him he pouts in an offended manner
>”Yeah boss that house you need to help fix, that’s where a pure golden shower is hidden away, that pony is very rich and got himself one custom made, if we steal that our guild would be well off for a long time”
“An actual golden shower?”
>”Yeah”
>Some ponies have way too much money...but that’s not the point
“No, we’re not stealing anything”
>All three start to complain more or less so you sharply stomp your hoof down to silence them, and manage to crack the floor a little in the process
“And you three should disband this little playtime club of yours and do something with your lives”
>”But boss we’re the thieves guild and not some-“
>You cut Sneak off
“No, you are three stallions sitting in a basement, role playing as thieves for some reason. And if I am the boss, the boss says that this guild is finished”
>All three hang their heads in defeat
>”That’s it then lads...our guild seems to be finished”
>”Yeah...our last candidate for boss and salvation of the guild seems to have quit so...”
>”Maybe I should just become a poop shoveler”
>”Homosexual prostitution doesn’t solve anything”
>”I meant farm work you dolt”
>”Oh right...you wouldn’t get any clients anyway”
>”Oi what was that you!”
>”SCREEEEEEE”
>”SCREEEEEEEEEE”
>”SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE”
>And as you leave the basement the three are fighting amongst each other
>You say bye to Butterknife’s mom who’s in tears because she thought that you two broke up or something, and head out of the house
>Now then...
>Suddenly somepony places a hoof...a hand on your shoulder?
“Eeee?”
>”Wow Daylily, long time no see”
>You turn your head around in surprise and find Anon standing behind you
“Anon?”
>He nods and pats your head, making you blush a little
>”Yeah it’s me, I came to Hollow Shades for a few days due to work”
>You fold your wings back in and turn around to properly face him
“Your work? Are you still working as a-“
>Anon shakes his head
>”Nope, I’m actually a detective now, made me life a real nocturnal lifestyle”
>Your mouth falls open in amazement
“A real detective? Anon that’s amazing”
>”Yeah, how do you like my detective coat, cool right?”
>Anon proceeds to show off his jacket to you
>This is a big surprise, Anon’s come to Hollow Shades, maybe the two of you can catch up and do friendly things together-
>Suddenly a very gorgeous earth pony mare walks up to you two and joins Anon’s side
>”Oh my, you must be Daylily, I’ve heard so much about you from my husband, so sorry I could not be there to meet you in person when you were visiting Manehattan”
>Wait this must be Anon’s-WAIT HUSBAND?
>Your shock must be apparent on your face as the two chuckle and Anon shows you his ring
>”Yeah, remember that marefriend I was talking to you about, we actually have gotten married”
“That’s, wow, congratulations, and yeah nice to meet you, I’m Daylily and...”
>”Soft Heart, it’s nice to finally meet the mare whom with my husband had such a wild adventure”
>The two exchange a few words while you can’t help but to think that you weren’t invited to the wedding...
>Not to mention looking at Anon and this mare act so affectionate and happy together is making you feel...you don’t know what but it’s an irritating emotion...
>”Hey why won’t the three of us go and have some coffee together, I’m sure my husband and you have some catching up to do and I could get to know Daylily better”
>Anon shrugs
>”Not really, maybe we should not bother her”
>What does he mean not really, does he not want to talk to you at all? You’re starting to feel a bit peeved
“No, let’s have some”
>You force a smile on your face and soon enough the three of you are at a local cafe, sitting and chatting
>Or more you sitting there and those two chatting and acting icky levels of affectionate in public
>Anon’s wife seems like on ok pony, it’s just that...she and Anon somehow rub you the wrong way
>Especially with how Anon seems to ignore you so much
>You pick up a few things while listening to the two, and it turns out that the golden shower that your...should you even call them underlings?
>Those three ponies were talking about is something that Anon was hired to protect until it would be shipped off to Canterlot to some wealthy pony who bought it from the one living in Hollow Shades due to seeing ponies who seemed to belong to a thieves guild being seen in Hollow Shades
>Turns out there’s actually been one in here before, that did take you by surprise, that must be form where those three got the idea for their game of pretend
>Not to mention Anon’s future career seems to be hanging on this operation, if it goes well his life in the force will be mostly easy living from then on out
>But Anon seems oddly...he’s ignoring you a lot and only concerns himself with his wife, you mean you know it’s his wife but the two of you should have been better friends than this
>Your negative feelings keep growing and growing during the duration of the chat and after Anon and his wife excuse themselves you feel angry and frustrated and...
>Dumb Anon!
>Suddenly you get an idea, a shocking one that you push away
>But as you walk towards home you feel more and more like Anon deserves to be thought a lesson
>You struggle internally but eventually...you change your direction and head off to somewhere else
>You’re not really going to rob it, you’re just going to knock Anon down from that high horse he seems to have gotten and show him that “some dumb bat ponies couldn’t even begin to challenge his superior smarts”
>That’ll put an end to that annoying mare squealing over him as well, hah!
>You enter a house and head straight for a familiar door, and kick it open
>The three stallions, Sneak, Lockpick and Butterknife all lift their heads and look at you as you slowly step the steps down to the basement
“Listen up you lowlifes who will never amount to anything!”
>They pick themselves up and stare at you like you were some kind of a messiah descending from heavens above
“We are going to steal the golden shower”
>They all appear surprised, you can’t blame them with how much you were against it but now your sense of right seems to be replaced with a drive of wrong
>Sneak takes a step forward
>”But lass, they have that famous human detective Anon guarding it, we can never pull this heist off, and who’ll lead us?”
>You glare at him
“Wasn’t I supposed to be the boss, and isn’t this supposed to be a notorious guild of thieves?”
>They all hang their heads in defeat
>”You were right, we’re just three washed out stallions pretending to be something we’re not, just look at the state where our mighty guild is...”
>You look at Sneak
“That’s not true, you three are very good thieves”
>”But even our last heist was a failure if it would not have been for you boss”
>You turn your head to face Butterknife
“Yes, and now you have my help once again, this time fully, what could go wrong?”
>”I just don’t know...”
>You roll your eyes, you could waste time with more motivational speeches but you get the feeling doing something different would give the same result much more faster
>Normally you might not do this but now you’re fueled by some strange emotion inside of you
>You wiggle your body around lewdly and mimic Midnight Delight’s bedroom eyes while 
“But thinking about pulling it off makes me all tingly down there~”
>You run your hooves here and there around your body
“Mmm~” 
>The three spring up very suddenly and surprisingly full of energy
>”Ok yeah we’re the thieves guild!”
>”We’ve got our boss on board so we’re going to be fine!”
>”I can’t believe how hard I am right now!”
>Sneak suddenly pushes a brick on the wall and a secret passage opens up
>”We need to enter our true guild quarters now that we’re back in business!”
>Now you’re confused, so you tilt your head to the side in confusion with one of your ears pointing upward and the other one lying flat to the side
“True quarters?”
>The three start walking and signal you to follow them
>”Come boss, come look at your new office”
>You follow them along the underground corridor that looks awfully lot like an old brick sewer
>You’re honestly surprised, this appears much more thieves guild-like than just a random basement...these three could not actually be of a genuine thieves guild could they?
>A few rats running towards your little group of 4 ponies makes you stop and take a single step backwards and prepare to eliminate them if they are thinking of biting at your hooves, but Sneak crouches down and the rats stop before him
>”Hi there little lads and lass’s, have you all been keeping the place tidy for the return of the thieves guild?”
>The rats nod and Sneak pets a few of them, and they apparently join you all in traveling towards where they were coming from
>Lockpick takes notice of your general confusion of the situation
>”Sneak’s the only original member who’s left of the thieves guild before they decided to disband it due to bad luck”
>Butterknife joins the convo as well
>”And mostly because most of them found themselves a much more well paying steady job compared to being a thief”
>”We’re here lass, or boss, your new domain”
>You walk past Sneaks and enter a large underground hall made of grey brick, with dark aged wooden tables and chairs, and a few old rusty lanterns hanging from the ceiling
>It’s pretty amazing to look at actually, if not a bit damp and a bit of moss here and there, but exactly like what you could expect an actual thief’s hideout looking like
>The rats rush back to some other rats sitting around in identical smaller chairs around a few smaller tables, playing a bit of cards
>You turn to look at the three ponies with wide eyes
“You ponies actually are a true, real thieves guild!”
>All three of them don’t really react in any mentionable way to this
>”Yeah we did tell you that from the start. And you’re in it now too, you’re the leader of it”
>You just let that sink in for a minute while slowly walking around and looking at stuff while the three stallions start to put some candles into the lanterns and refreshing the place up a bit better than the rats have been able to
>You’ve gotten and made yourself the actual leader of a thieves guild
>For some reason, instead of feeling bad about it you feel a little bit excited about it
>No no...it’s just because normal life in Hollow Shades always appears so boring compared to the high action life you have had before it, that’s what it is and nothing else
>After pulling off your little revenge against Anon you’ll anonymously tip the guard about this place, that way you haven’t done anything that bad and even if you might be leading it a little it’s just temporary, and you’ll make up for it, you swear
>Lockpick pokes you on your shoulder to get your attention
>”We’re going to get this place up and running but that’ll take us the rest of the night, so if it is ok with you could you reveal your plan tomorrow night instead of tonight?”
“Yeah...that’s ok with me, yeah let’s do that”
>Lockpick points at a corridor and tells you it should come out somewhere near where you live, and after coming out from the hidden entrance you find yourself pretty close to your own house, to where you head into
>And as you walked that lonesome road your determination only grew 
"Kekekekeee..."

----

>You close your door and step into your cozy little home
“Tulip? Are you home?”
>Tulip peeks in from behind a kitchen counter
“There you are, have you-“
>And so does Midnight Delight, taking you by surprise
>”Hi mom, Midnight wanted to come over and started to cook dinner for some reason”
“...had any dinner yet, I guess that answers that question. Hi Midnight”
>”Welcome back home Daylily, hope you don’t mind me coming over unannounced like this”
>You start heading towards the kitchen area
“No it’s fine, you’ve got the key to my house and all...what are you making?”
>You go in to peek at what Midnight’s making
>”It’s a fruity paella”
>Tulip happily runs up to you and leans against your hooves
>”And I’m helping”
>She’s wearing a cute little apron, and now that you pay more attention so is Midnight Delight, but her apron appears more...naughty...
>You feel your cheeks heat up, just a little, when Midnight Delight wipes some sauce off of her cheek and then licks it off of her hoof
“S-so what’s the occasion?”
>Midnight Delight shrugs
>”Just felt like coming over and making something”
>She returns to cooking and Tulip pushes you out of the kitchen, telling you to relax and wait for them to cook
>They’re getting along surprisingly well in the kitchen together, Tulip’s much more relaxed around Midnight than she usually is
>You plop down on the trusty old sofa and proceed to lie around aimlessly while listening to the two cook and giggle
>And you’re left with time to think about what you’re doing, maybe you’re overreacting?
>”You seem to be deep in thought”
>Before you can respond Midnight Delight, now without her skimpy apron, suddenly cozies up against you and now she’s practically lying on top of you
“Midnight...what are you doing?”
>”Oh I’m just spending some quality time with a dear friend of mine, that’s all”
>She begins to play with the tuft on your chest, making you feel warm and pleasant...yet uncomfortable, well...kind of?
>”And I could not help but to notice you looked a bit troubled. A coin for your thoughts?” 
“Midnight, what if Tulip sees?”
>”Oh let her, besides she’s too busy staring at the paella pan and waiting for it to be cooked”
>You twitch your ears and sure you can hear a happy humming coming from the direction of the kitchen
>But still...no that it might be harmful for her growth, you kind of popped that cherry by doing bedroom things with her, but if she might get jealous and do something drastic and highly improper...or start spreading rumors in excitement that her mommy is dating the teacher or something...
“I ran into somepony I knew beforehand and he...”
>You proceed to tell Midnight Delight all about Anon and the adventure the two of you had, and then meeting him in Manehattan, and what happened tonight
>”I see, and that left you feeling sour?”
“Yes, very sour...”
>Suddenly Midnight Delight pulls herself upwards on the sofa so she can hug your head against her chest
>”There there”
>You’re unsure if her mouth is that close to your ear on purpose, her warm breath is starting to make you feel...things...
>But luckily the moment between the two of you is broken up by Tulip jumping over the couch and onto the two of you
>”The food looks ready Midnight Delight”
>Midnight Delight lets go of you and returns to the kitchen, leaving the still apron wearing Tulip to cuddle up to you and rub her head lovingly against your chest
>”Hey hey wanna hear what we did in school today?”
>You simply lie there and shrug your eyebrows
“Sure”
>Tulip pouts
>”Be more excited, it’s really cool! We took the head off of a cockroach and it kept running around, and then Midnight Delight told us it’ll live for a few weeks like that! Without a head!”
“That’s nice...”
>Your mind is still heavy with pondering if you’re doing the right thing-Oww!
>Your thoughts are interrupted by Tulip gnawing on your ear so you lift her off of you and set her to the floor while getting up from the couch yourself in the process
>”You weren’t listening...”
“I was”
>”What did I say?”
“Ok I wasn’t, but I have stuff on my mind Tulip”
>You start heading towards the kitchen and Tulip follows you
>”What kind of stuff?”
“Grown-up stuff”
>”So sex?”
“No not that kind of grown up stuff, dirty filly”
>Tulip scrunches her mouth and protests that she is not while Midnight Delight tells you to sit down since dinner will be served very soon
>Most of the dinner goes along with nothing worth mentioning, except Midnight Delight decided to clean some food you dropped on yourself with her mouth, which got a bit too close for comfort...
>And she knew exactly what she was doing, giving you hefty bedroom eyes as you stared down at the mare making certain areas tingly
>And no Tulip was not allowed to tickle you too, as she thought that was what was happening
>And the fruity paella tasted very good, even if you three had it very late in to the night, almost to the early morning hours
>After a while Tulip headed off to sleep and you decided to retreat to your own bed, with Midnight Delight
>Who now is lying on your bed and waiting for you to join her.
“Are you going to sleep on my bed?”
>Midnight Delight nods while fixing her position into a more seductive one
>”Yes, I thought about sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag but that’d be so uncomfortable, and since we’re no strangers to each others bodies I figured what the heck”
>She pats the bed
>”Stop standing and come to bed Daylily, I want to help you relax~”
>You decide to just comply and climb into the bed, cum whatever is to cum
>And Midnight Delight proceeds to roll you over and begins to massage the back of your hooves
>And it feels heavenly~
>”Wow you’re tense”
>She puts more pressure into her hooves as she moves up and down along your hooves
“Mm-hmmm~”
>Midnight Delight proceeds to move upwards and now massages your upper things and even your flanks every now and then
“Midnight, about you telling me that you...you know-“
>”Love you?”
>You blush and she once again does some wondrous things to your butt
“How would you feel if I found a stallion and developed feeling for him?”
>Midnight Delight lets out a sigh and moves up to your lower back, making you moan gently and arch your back a little
>”I’d feel a little bit sad, but you know...”
>She suddenly climbs on top of you and straddles you while massaging your upper back and leaning her mouth next to your ear
>”I would not be against sharing you with a stallion, if he was a good character and if you and him were up for making that team of two into a trio”
>Now your whole body feels like it is heating up as mental images of said relationship start popping up to your mind
“Y-you’d be ok with that?”
>”Mm-hmm I think I would, why?”
>She keeps massaging the base of your wings which feels really, really good, heavenly even, you’re wishing she’d do your neck too, that’d be so good~
“Well if I’d be, you know, with you and you’d find a stallion I probably would not want to share you with anypony, or any pony who would be my special somepony...”
>You wonder if that makes you a bad pony, being so selfish, but you’ve always understood that you’re supposed to be selfish when it comes to things like this
>Suddenly Midnight Delight lies down on top of you, surprising you as she settles down into a comfy position, resting her head against your back
“Midni-“
>”Shhh~ Let me have this moment...”
>Well, she did give you such a good massage and everything, you really should let her do whatever she is doing...
>And she feels nice, warm...and you’re starting to feel a bit aroused like this
>You find yourself hoping it’d turn into something sexual, but then suddenly you hear Midnight Delight begin to snore
>you gently weasel out from beneath her and gently tuck her in on your bed before settling down yourself as your arousal finally leaves your body
>Maybe you should not go through with getting revenge against Anon...Yeah, that probably would be the best...
>And with that you too fall asleep
>But the next night you ran into Anon again and spied on him talking shit about you to his wife and how shocking it is that you’re not a guard pony and instead of heading back to the thieves guild to cancel the plan, you went ahead and finalized it for good with any doubt towards what you’re about to do completely gone
>Soon!

-----

>You open up a kitchen cupboard and find a rat wearing leather armor inside
>It hands you a small note before disappearing into a small tunnel 
>You unravel the small note and read it, good they have all that you need
>Today is the day you are going to rob the golden shower with the thieve’s guild
>They were a bit surprised at your plan but praised it to all high heavens and proceeded to secure the needed items
>You have been able to visit the house a few times while helping to fix the wall, and caught a glimpse of the golden shower
>The plan is for you to create a distraction while it is being transported out of the house so your underlings can steal it
>You’ve made sure Tulip and Midnight Delight have no idea about your little activity, Tulip would be on board with you 100% no matter what it might be but...you don’t want to involve the two of them in this, there’s no need for them to be dragged down with you if things go wrong
>You head on out and disappear into the hidden entrance to the thieve’s guild near your home
>As you reach the main hall you find it bustling with two of the three ponies going over their gear, and Sneak notices you as you walk towards him and Lockpick
>Butterknife is nowhere to be seen
>”Over here boss, I’ve got all of it prepared”
>You walk over to the table with your stuff on it and pick up the helmet to inspect it
“Wow, this looks better than I hoped”
>Lockpick walks over
>”Yeah, I had a blacksmith friend of mine who owed me for a thing to make all of the parts of the armor so they’re top quality. Only the best for out boss, who is going to bring our guild back to glory”
>Suddenly Butterknife rushes in
>”They’ve moved the schedule up, the shower is being moved in about 30 minutes!”
>You look at the three and nod
“All right, we’re heading out! Ink me!”
>Sneak grabs some ink into his hooves and slaps it on your cutie marks to cover them
>And as he does so he delivers a very firm slap on both of your cheeks, making you jump a little and let out a yelp
“Ah~!”
>You blush at the indecent sound you let out, and after noticing that now Sneak is starting to blush too you quickly clear your throat
“It was just a...very firm slap stop blushing like that all of you!”
>They all disappear to their own tables and stuffs and begin their preparations, putting on their own leather armors that hide enough of their identity
>You on the other hand slip into the black full body unitard, harder than you thought with these wings, so difficult to get them inside their own areas in this unitard for pegasus ponies, and then smear some black ink all over your face so your coat looks like it’s black
>A little bit of make-up and the rest of your gear, and you’re ready to go
“Ok, let’s do this you maggots and worms!”
>”For glory!”
>”For the guild!”
>”For the profit!”
>The four thieves sort out into the streets of Hollow Shades...calling yourself a thief, you never expected this to happen in your life...
>As you arrive at your position you find Anon outside the house with a few guards, looking over the golden shower as it sits on a wagon, they’re preparing to tie it down for transport
>This is the perfect moment, you signal to the others hiding nearby that it’s go time and spread your wings before taking flight
>And then you land down before them and spread your wings wide while letting out a maniacal evil laugh, for it’s show time
“Freeze you powerless little fools before I zap you!”
>It works, all you have to do is stand there and look evil, and the guards are already backing away while looking absolutely terrified
>”It c-can’t be-“
>”H-h-how!?”
>”CELESTIA SAVE US!”
>Anon stares at you dumbfounded like his brain decided to stop working
>”Nightmare...Moon?”
>You three companions sneak out from one hiding place to another, slowly getting closer to the now unguarded golden shower as all attention is on you
>Your pitch black coat, thanks to some ink and a convenient unitard, your striking and scary eyes, thank you party contact lenses, and your gleaming armor that strikes horror to the hearts of ponies, Butterknife’s friend really did a great work on it, it’s so shiny and blue!
>And this beautiful flowing mane and tail of...space stuff, thanks to some funky light fabric and a bit of glitter
>Anon shakes his head to clear his thoughts and speaks up
>”Aren’t you a bit short?”
>Your menacing pose falters a little, you didn’t have any time to solve the issue of size difference
“It’s the recession, it affects everypony you foolish human!”
>A few of the guards seem to be ok with that explanation but Anon still seems skeptical
>”That’s-“
>You cut him off by shouting and waving your fake horn at him
“Silence!”
>On cue sneak, who has sneaked close to Anon and the guards, throws a small firework at his feet at the precise timing, making it appear like you just casted a spell
>Anon quickly lifts his hands up and begins to sweat while you feel really good at making him like that
>Maybe you should make him feel threatened a little bit more
>but this display has also cleared the streets from most of the ponies by now and has glued everypony’s eyes on you and away from the three thieves currently lifting the golden shower out of the wagon
>Suddenly some of the glitter on your fake mane gets into your nose and you let out a sneeze
>And one of your contacts comes off because of it!
>Everypony, your companions as well, stares at the contact lens on the ground in horror and Anon raises an eyebrow while lowering his hands
>”Wait...that’s a contact lens”
“So? I use contact lenses if I please you fool!”
>You hiss at him which makes one of the guards faint, but Anon seems unfazed as he points his finger at you
>”She’s a fake! Get her!
>But it is already too late, Sneak, Butterknife and Lockpick are already gone, and so is the statue
>One of the guards pleads for Anon to apologize while you grin and suddenly take flight
>”See that proofs it, get her!”
>This is good, the only thing you need to do now is to get away and this heist will be over
>But much to your worry you now notice that the spandex around your wings is making it very hard to fly at fast speeds or to gain altitude properly
>You quickly land down and rip the parts covering your wings off, freeing them just in time to avoid a guard pony jumping at you and trying to grab you
>he hits the ground and falls unconscious, leaving only Anon to rush after you
>You decide to fly just slow enough for him to keep up while cackling maniacally to taunt him further
>But as you do you fail to notice how the extra weight of your armor is slowly, very slowly pulling you downwards as you don’t focus on your flying 
>And just enough for Anon to grab a hold of your fake tail
>Quickly you start beating your wings and kicking the shoes and armor parts off of you to reduce weight as the spandex keeps getting pulled and stretched
>And suddenly it gives out, sending Anon onto his butt and you flying straight at a wall
>”Fuck!”
“Scree!”
>And you simply drop down and hit the ground before managing to collect yourself and get up
>”D...Daylily?”
>Your eyes fly open and you stare at Anon in shock
>H-how does he know!?
>You follow his gaze and onto your butt where the ink is not covering your cutie mark anymore, all that pulling on the unitard must have made it rub off!
>You let out a sigh and remove the remaining contact lens, pull the helmet off before discarding it to the side and rubbing your face clean
“Yes, it’s me”
>Anon’s mouth opens and closes a few times before he finds his voice again
>”But you...you wanted to be a guard and you’re my friend, why are you-“
>You let out an annoyed snort and stomp your hoof down on the ground
“A friend? With the way you were talking to me and about me after finally meeting me again after all this time?”
>Anon seems offended
>”What do you mean? You’re the one being a faggot here!”
>Now you just see red and dive towards him, but he side-steps you and you fly straight at some trash cans
>”I’ll be placing you under arrest for-“
>Suddenly the voice of a panicked guard pony is heard shouting
>”Anon we have trouble, the golden shower is missing!”
>Anon turns to look at you while you grin at him smugly, all the while wiping some trash off of you
“I have already won”
>Now Anon comes at you and the two of you end up wrestling each other to the ground, but eventually you end up on top and manage to push him down
>But...you don’t know what to do next! Anon finding out your identity was not in your plan! Your life is going to be over...unless you become a full time thief and live hidden away with the guild...unless you silence him somehow...
>”H-honey!?”
>You quickly look to the side and find Anon’s wife staring at the two of you, looking shocked and confused
>But before you can silence him Anon manages to shout
>”QUICK SHE STOLE THE GOLDER SHOWER! SHE’S WITH THE THEVE’S GUILD!”
>You quickly grab a barrel and slam it on Anon, smashing his head through the bottom and trapping his upper body in it
>But as you’re about to escape Anon manages to trip you with is leg and sends you spinning into the feet of his wife
>”Quickly grab her!”
>You stare at Soft Heart, Anon’s earth pony wife, as you lie at her hoofs
>But instead of trying to detain you she extends her hoof to you
>You stare at it cautiously and she gives you a reassuring smile, so you grab her hoof and she helps you back onto your hooves, much to the shock of Anon
>”My wife whom I love very much what are you doing!?”
>Soft Heart brushes some dirt off of you which makes you feel a bit uncomfortable
>”I just want to hear her reason for doing this, she didn’t strike as the kind of a mare who would do this kind of a thing without a good reason”
>Anon tries to escape the barrel he’s stuck in
>”No she should be arrested and-“
>His wife glares at him
>”Shut up for a second hubby”
>Anon and you both stare at Soft Hearts with surprise as she turns her face towards you again, her earlier stern expression replaced once again with her usual gentle one
>”So please, tell me why you’re doing this Daylily”
“Well I...”
>You simply decide to tell her all about how you felt, and how you came up with this plan to knock Anon down from his high horse because you were feeling irritated and kind of...jealous...
>Soft Heart simply listens to you calmly and Anon manages to break free from his barrel, and joins his wife’s side in listening to you
>It makes you feel awkward telling the two about how you were feeling, and Anon does not appear as understanding of you as his wife by the time you’re done explaining yourself
“...and that’s why I decided to steal the golden shower” 
>You hang your head in shame
>Anon’s the first one to speak
>”What are you even talking about, I haven’t changed at all Daylily. This is just-“
>His wife interrupts him
>”You know you have gotten too full of yourself lately”
>Anon stop stalking and looks at his wife with shock
>”Excuse me, love of my life?”
>But his wife ignores him and places her hoof on your shoulder
>”But even then this way you’re going at it...it’s not right either Daylily”
>You kind of know that but...
>You can’t tell her that you were actually enjoying the thrill of doing things like this can you? It was just so much fun compared to your normal life-no no, don’t think like that, that’s not good...
“So what’s going to happen to me now?”
>Anon crosses his arms
>”I am still going to place you under arrest for what you’ve done, and-“
>Suddenly two ponies jump out and place themselves in front of you, between you and Anon
>Two ponies you know, it’s Tulip and Midnight Delight!
>”I’m afraid I can’t let you do that human!”
>”Yeah you big meanie stay away from my mom!”
>You’re not sure who is more shocked, you or Anon
“Y-you two what are you doing here?”
>Midnight Delight turns her head around and smiles at you
>”Can’t let the mare I love be taken away”
>Tulip lifts her hoof up like she was signing in a classroom
>”Oh oh me too, I love her too”
>Midnight Delight turns to look at Anon again
>”I was aware you were up to something lately, but to think it was something like this...”
>Anon seems annoyed
>”Stand down or I’ll have you two arrested as well!”
>Suddenly three more ponies jump out from Luna knows where
>”No”
>”You”
>”Won’t!”
>Butterknife, Sneak and Lockpick all strike an individual pose while staring at Anon
>You look at the three posing stallions
“You three why are you here?”
>Sneak chuckles
>”Can’t let your dear boss be thrown in the slammer eh?”
>Butterknife switches his pose to an even more ridiculous one
>”Just didn’t want to be left out from the action that’s all lass”
>Lockpick grins manically
>”I had nothing better to do anyway”
>Anon takes a step back and shields his wife
>”You lowlifes...”
>But then a bunch of guard ponies rush into the scene
>”Captain Anon’s here!”
>”He’s got the thieves’ guild cornered!”
>All of the guards that have now swarmed to the scene stare at your little group
>”But who’s the leader, who was the one in the Nightmare Moon costume?”
>Sneak takes a step forward while flashing you a let me protect your identity boss and at the same time rise my value in your eyes at the hopes of some nice reward afterwards for it-smile
>”It was me! I am the-“
>Suddenly a random guard bat pony looks extremely fired up as he begins to shout
>”NO THAT IS HORSEAPPLES THERE’S NO WAY I FELT SUCH SEXUAL ATTRACTION TOWARDS A STINKY STALLION LIEK YOU, YOU WON’T EVEN LOOK THAT GOOD IN ANY KIND OF A COSTUME! DON’T PLAY AROUND WITH MY HEART YOU VILLAIN!”
>The other guards start talking
>”It must be one of the mares, that means one of those two!”
>”Yeah but which one!”
>You glance over at Midnight Delight who seems a bit panicked, with Tulip hugging her leg since she’s closer to her than you
>You put on a smirk and walk past her, silently whispering something to her as you do so
”Look after Tulip”
>You push your chest out proudly and inhale
“IT WAS ME!”
>All the guards, no, pretty much every pony in the area gasps loudly
“I AM THE LEADER OF THE THIEVE’S GUILD! AND I STOLE THE GOLDEN SHOWER FROM YOU FOOLS! THESE TWO ARE NOTHING BUT DECOYS!”
>The guards look at Anon
>”Captain Anon is that true?”
>Anon glances at you briefly before gritting his teeths
>”Yeah, that’s true, those two are just innocent bystanders and have nothing to do with the thieve’s guild”
>Soft Heart smiles happily and nods behind her husband
>Lockpick, Sneak and Butterknife all join your side
>”That’s right, and we’re her henchstallions!”
>”Fear the reborn thieve’s guild!”
>”I’m in here just because the boss is an attractive mare!”
>The other two turn to look at Butterknife
>”I’m not sure how to feel about your honesty...”
>”Yeah, I mean the lass does look nice”
>”I know right, not a bad sight for sore eyes, very pleasant even”
>”I’d love to get chewed out be our boss if you know what I mean”
>”Yeah I bet she’ll use a whip and-“
>You cut their little chat short while blushing furiously
“Just get to it idiots!”
>All three let out a war cry and throw down some smoke bombs, creating a smoke screen that allows all 4 of you to slip past the guards and start flying away towards secret entrances into the underground guild quarters
>The guards are yelling out things in panic and Anon is barking orders at them, but all of you manage to get away and slip through a secret hatch and into the underground corridors
>The three of them are celebrating a robbery well done, but you collapse to the ground in despair
>You went ahead and proclaimed all that! It was to help Midnight Delight and Tulip but isn’t this quite bad? Now the whole town thinks that you are the leader of the thieve’s guild!
>Ahhh...forget about returning the golden shower after the heist like you planned to, your reputation is already gone...just...
>You just lie there limply with your underlings poking at you and calling out to you
>You screwed up. You’re going to be able to sneak into Midnight Delight’s house after things calm down but...you’re left with an utter feeling of defeat with how things went, even if you managed to steal the golden shower

>Well, here goes nothing
>You enter Midnight Delight’s house through the back door, and once you’re inside you’re tackled to the ground before you can call out to Tulip or Midnight
>”Mommy!”
>Now you’re lying on the ground with a very affectionate filly rubbing her face against your chest while hugging you
>Midnight Delight also joins your close proximity while you hug Tulip back and then somehow struggle to get up with said filly still clinging onto you
>”Did you get here without much trouble?”
>You’re a bit surprised by the sudden hug from Midnight as well, but hug her back
>Though her hug felt a bit more adult-like than hugs normally are...
“Yeah, it was easy sneaking in, Sneak has been teaching me how to be sneaky”
>You let go of Midnight Delight and try to ignore the shiver you feel when she drags her hoof along your body as she lets go
>”You’ve been taking sneaking lessons? Daylily are you thinking of becoming a full time thief now?”
>Tulip lets go of you and starts to jump around you excitedly
>”That’s so cool!”
>You grab the filly and place her back down onto the ground while Midnight Delight gives Tulip a not-so-impressed look from calling thieving “cool”
“No that’s not it, I’ve just been bored being cooped up inside the Thieve’s guild these past days”
>”And for good reason too, look at what they have hung all over the town”
>Midnight Delight hands you a wanted poster with your face on it, made to look meaner than you ever have looked
>Well you knew of the posters, you were told about them by the other ponies of the guild, who for some reason have not been wanted at all
>It makes you feel a bit grumpy, not to mention did they really have to make you look so mean?
>”So are you going to stay with us now mom?”
>Tulip flies over you, plops down on your back and rests her chin on top of your head before settling in to lie around cozily on top of you while you follow Midnight to her living room
“Not just yet, but I’m working on it”
>”Good to hear that, I was almost afraid you’d start to organize the guild and might even enjoy these Thieve’s guild activities greatly, you sure looked happy while escaping those guards and tussling around with that human thing”
>You begin to sweat a little
“Yeah, that’s stupid Midnight, I wouldn’t do that...”
>You kind of re-worked the budget planning and financial plans of the Thieve’s guild when you had nothing else to do and managed to make it more sustainable
>And you have been helping with building, repairing and cleaning to pass the time
>Not to mention you did enjoy the thrill of running away from the guards...
>And the golden shower you were supposed to return, those three managed to sell it for quite a bit of cash before you managed to do that so you could not sort of erase your crime
>Midnight Delight gets really close to you and eyes you up, before suddenly licking some sweat off of your face
>”This taste...it’s of a liar”
>But before you can apologize Midnight Delight suddenly grabs you and pulls her body very tightly against yours in an adult-like embrace
>”But being such a bad girl just makes me crave you even more~”
>She licks her lips and eyes you up like she really wanted to pounce you right there and then but you push her away
“No I am not a bad girl...”
>Tulip pokes your cheek with her hoof
>”You kind of are, if I did what you did you’d spank my butt so hard it would come flying out of my mouth!”
>Midnight Delight bites her bottom lip seductively
>”Maybe you should go out and play with your friends Tulip and I’ll give your mom a good spanking...”
>You place your hoof against midnight’s chest and stop her from coming closer to you
“Contain yourself you indecent mare!”
>Midnight Delight just lets out a playful growl at you and keeps trying to come closer
>Tulip pipes up once again and flies off of you, ignoring Midnight Delight as she tries to move forward only to be held back by your ridiculous strength
>”Can I live with you in the Thieve’s guild instead of here? She makes me study even when I am not at school!”
>Tulip points at Midnight Delight but as she finds Midnight still eying you like a bitch in heat she raises and eyebrow and slowly lowers her hoof back down
>”...do you need me to go outside?”
>Before you can reply Midnight Delight stops walking and her face returns back to normal
>”No you don’t, I’m just goofing around with your mom, to lighten her spirits from being the number one wanted mare in Hollow Shades”
>”Oh ok”
>Midnight Delight ruffles Tulip’s mane while your mouth falls open
“You actually were just joking?”
>Midnight Delight faces you again and nods
>”Yes I was”
“Oh...ok then”
>That makes you-
>Suddenly Midnight Delight grins mischievously
>”But if you want it could be real too~”
>Is it a yes or a no!?
>You let out a sigh and Tulip giggles with an amused kekeke before going out
“I think I will return to the guild now, before it’s too busy outside...”
>”You know, you could just dye your mane or coat and walk around freely”
>That might work, but
“At least for now I want to stay with the guild, I am keeping other ponies in it from doing any unneeded crime with my leader status”
>”Those three stallions? They seemed like they’d do anything you asked them, is it really necessary?”
>You let out another sigh
“Turns out my little stunt pulled in some new recruits, and those three have good connections all around Hollow Shades with some shady ponies, and as long the Thieve’s guild is active they are keeping out from any kind of shady business out of fear and respect towards the guild, and mostly me”
>Midnight Delight chuckles
>”You’re a big mean scary thief queen?”
>You hang your head
“I swear those three spread all kinds of weird rumors about me...”
>”Not to mention all the rumors I have heard...someponies even think the Thieve’s guild is some kind of a dark cult that works for Nightmare Moon thanks to your little cosplay stunt”
>You feel a bit embarrassed now
>”But by staying there you can actually lower the crime in Hollow Shades?”
>You lift your head back up and let your face beam a bit with pride
“Yeah, instead of constantly being out there stealing whatever now they are more focused on the guild’s revival and the guild is keeping any small time crooks from being that active, and after pulling off a stunt like that not many foolish young ponies are looking to join into it either”
>Not to mention it’s kind of fun to be a leader and have underlings...kind of like you were a guard captain
>Not to mention sometimes the only way to do good is to do bad, kind of like suddenly finding out one member of the town guard took bribes so your guild stole all of them and left a message that brought his injustice to light and him getting removed from the ranks of a guard
>You felt proud because of that, even if it meant there was now more money that did not belong to any of you in the guild treasury
>But a cult huh...maybe if you ordered a few of the right kind of rumors be spread around the Thieve’s guild could become even more scary to the public eye and your hold on most of the troublemakers in Hollow Shades would grow stronger...you need to think about this a bit more in depth
>”I won’t keep you any longer then, but do think of something soon, Tulip’s been missing you a lot”
>Now that is a pang on your conscience
“I miss her too, I’ll come up with something soon”
>And with that you leave her house and start to think about things while heading for the secret entrance
>Should you stay at the guild and bring Tulip with you there, keep this current arrangement or to just move in into Midnight Delight’s house and live with her and Tulip?
>Or maybe get your original house back while wearing a disguise and pretend to be her new adopted parent?
>Poor Tulip, she must be so depressed about not being able to see you so mu-
>Suddenly you see Tulip laughing happily and running around with a few other fillies like she didn’t have a care in the world
>...please miss me a bit more openly Tulip!
>You just head back into the guild
>After sitting on your throne, you insisted you did not need one but they made you one anyway, and the expression is kind of sweet, you take a look at your guild that bustles with life
>And you feel a strange feeling of pride, followed by grave worries towards your future from here on out
>You sigh
>Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down and I’d like to take a minute just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became the queen of thieves in a town called Hollow Shades

And that was the story of Daylily and how she found her place in Hollow Shades

The End.
