Everfree Tales

Serenade and Static sat down at a table in the lobby of the Eqquleus building, shooting the breeze after meeting the night before. They had spent most of the night talking, and had decided to meet up again for lunch. As the girls talked about their majors, their likes, their dislikes, and the horrib...

She giggled and leaned back into him, tucking her wings tight into her back. His chest was warm against her back and shoulders and she let out a comfortable sigh. "You're not boring, babe. You're awesome." She murmured, the warmth of his skin heating through her shirt and warming the sligh...

Lens gently brushed her hand along his shoulder, and leaned her face against his neck. "Like the dead. I slept so hard I thought I'd sleep through the whole weekend." She said playfully, slipping an arm around him and hugging is still sleepy form. "And I didn't make coffee. I went to ...

Zee Next Morning... Lens woke up late in the morning, which was no surprise to her. She and Chroma had stayed up until nearly three, when she finally fell asleep. She felt warm all over and found his arm and one of his wings draped over her. She grinned silently to herself and rolled over in his ar...

Ivy blinked awake at the early sunlight streaming in through the greenhouse, gleaming off the leaves of every tree and bush in the room. She sat up slowly, stretching her arms towards the ceiling to loosen up her back. She woke exactly where she'd fallen asleep, on the roots of the young tree. She p...

Ivy watched him leave, and felt a small smile light on her face. She sat up straight and peeled off her cardigan, folding it carefully and setting it off to the side. She made her way over to one of the sinks near the back of the greenhouse and splashed water on her face to get rid of the extra make...

Serenade glanced between the two of them and a sly grin spread across her red lips, despite herself, and she fought the urge to rub her hands together. "Well, would you look at that, I think one of River's friends has arrived. I'd best go introduce myself. I think this will take me a while. You...

Ivy smiled sleepily and let out a small chuckle, "Alright, then be safe on your way. It's generally a safe enough campus." She said, letting out a smaller yawn and stretching her arms to the ceiling."See you tomorrow, then, around noon."

Serenade watched Kimi walk away, and her ears pricked up at the mention of ballet. She immediately made her way over to the male griffin, her silver horseshoes clicking on the hardwood floor, her black curls and ribbons bouncing as she hurried to follow along. She smiled listening to the two talking...

Ivy shook her head and waved a hand reassuringly. "No, it's fine. Lens is with Chroma, so I'm not sure if they're going back to his place or ours. It would probably best if I just spent the night here. It's not a big deal. The trees are surprisingly comfortable." She said taking her glasse...

Ivy smiled gently, suddenly feeling fatigue pulling at the edges of her mind, and she leaned against the tree whose root she now sat upon. She could feel herself blinking slower and silently condemned the one glass of spiked punch she had drank. "That sounds about right to me. It makes sense. W...

Ivy thought hard for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders. She had known sadness, but had never known food to be a cause for it. " I'm not sure. Food is usually a cause for happiness, or at least contentment." She said contemplatively. She was coming up empty for answers, "And I wasn...

Ivy sat down on one of the gnarled roots growing out of the ground and nodded. "It would actually explain a lot. Although ice cream is a luxury there are many tasty and interesting foods that are available. Perhaps you might be able to try some, even if only as an indulgence." She said wit...

id going to stop for a moment, contemplating her answer.it had been some time since she didn't Goldston such a treat,so the answer was not immediately present in her mind. "I'm not sure, probably cookies and cream, or mint chocolate. It's been some time, so it's a little hard for me to choose b...

Ivy shook her head, "not at all. I have tomorrow off, so I'll be getting in here early. Probably around 6 a.m. or so." she said, sweeping her arms out. "I planned on getting all my work done early so that I would have the rest of the afternoon to relax. Of course that means I would st...

Ivy wrung her hands and slowly brought her gaze back to him, and nodded. "I would like that." She said quietly, "I would like that very much. If we met tomorrow after class, I mean. I do like ice cream. There are some good ice cream places around here, or so I'm told." She said, ...

Ivy felt a blush creep into her cheeks and she stood up, "No! No... It's... It's alright. It's fine! You're fine. I'm just... Awkward." She stammered waving her hands. "I just don't think that ponies should be judged by what they are. That's not fair. You've not done any wrong by me, ...

Ivy shook her head and patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Your nature is your nature. You can't be blamed for nature, as much as you might blame yourself. You can't help your natural needs, just as my sweet sundews can't help the fact they need insects to survive. It's what you do with what you...

Ivy smiled gently, "The flower's petals fall off naturally to produce the fruit. That' is the best time to get them. They are ripe and already dried. The fruit is toxic too, but the petals are different from the rest of the plant. The toxin in this plant causes blood to clot rapidly, but the to...

She tittered into her sweater sleeve, her wings unfurling from her back as she relaxed on the tree branch, feeling substantially more at home. "That's true. Plants wouldn't even bloom or grow like this for my mother. She's a botanist, just like I want to be. But a lot of the more temperamental ...
