Previously, on Cute "Quest":
Miss Cheerilee asked you to talk with Brynn, who's been noticed mumbling to himself a lot lately. Concerned for your friend, you asked him what was up.
Turns out he's been holding onto the mask a lot more than previously, and seemingly can't help but talk aloud to Harley, the spirit trickster that resides within the mask. Or something like that.
You did your best to convince him to set the mask aside, and after a short bit of thought he agreed.
And handed you the mask.
Feeling he needed further socializing, you invited him along to a sleepover that AppleBloom organized. The CMC were more than okay with this, knowing that he's one of your other friends. It also gives them a chance to try and get to know him. Win-win.
Issues with the mask forgotten for the time being, the night of merriment began with Checkers and some Go Fish. You chit chatted with Scoots and Apple Bloom while Brynn played checkers with Sweetie.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time.
Eventually, the checkers and card games ended, and the next party game was brought up:
Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare
>>510574
Tonight's session will be just that: Truth or Dare with the CMC and Brynn.
#Things to note
Tonight's session will be heavily player discussion driven. Should you ever run out of things you think you should ask or answer, I can drop hints that'll move things along.
There isn't a time limit, but there IS a sensitivity limit.
Should one or more of the partygoers feel the questions are getting too…daring, they may back out or call for the game to end on favorable terms.
The game will also end if too many questions are weighted on only a couple individuals, as the others will get bored.
And eventually, the game will end in some form of shenanigan, unless it ends by other means beforehand.
Think wisely who you want to ask, and what you want to ask them. The time to build points or solidify yourself as an interest may be at hand.
If you aren't certain on a direction to go for, character wise, try not to focus too hard on any one of them. Otherwise you might knock yourself out of the running with another over a misunderstanding.
But in the end; Have fun!

Everyone sits on their respective sleeping bags or pillows, Brynn taking position near the snack bar with Apple Bloom to his left, and Sweetie on his right. You sit next to Sweetie, with Scoots on the other side of you, everyone forming a small circle for Truth or Dare.
"So, who goes first?" Scootaloo asks eagerly, rubbing her hooves together with a sly grin.
"Brynn." Apple Bloom says matter-of-factly, "He's newest to our group and it wouldn't be right putting him on the spot right away, so he can pick who answers the first question, and ask."
The rest of you nod as Brynn smiles weakly, scanning the group for someone to question.
Finally, his eyes settle on you, and his smile brightens a bit.
"Cobalt," he says, fiddling with his glasses for a moment, "Truth or dare?"

>Accept and Wing it
You laugh before composing yourself a bit, putting on a serious looking face before putting your front legs against your sides to make "wings" and begin to flap them as you talk in a slightly higher voice.
"My name is Scootaloo, but everyone calls me Scoots," you begin, earning giggles from everyone, including Scootaloo, "I think Rainbow Dash is AWESOME and I love riding my scooter!"
You start walking around the center of the group, "I get bored pretty easily and fall asleep in class. I'm so good at it I could earn a cutie mark for it!"
"Hey!" Scootaloo says indignantly before smiling, "Didn't work. Tried that already."
The group laughs, poor Brynn holding his sides and falling on his back as he laughs the hardest you've ever seen the young colt laugh. Watching him lose it makes everyone else laugh pretty good as well, until you've lost your composure and begin to laugh with the rest of them.
Finally, things calm down again. Brynn wipes a tear from his eye as Sweetie tells you it's your turn to ask someone something.
Everyone's all smiles as you look around the group.

>Dare her to do something really girly
"I dare you….to do something really, really girly."
Scootaloo deflates a little, a look of mild confusion crossing her features as Sweetie giggles, "That might be a tough one."
Scootaloo shoots her a dirty look before sighing and turning her back to the circle as she mumbles something to herself.
She turns back around and looks right at you, moving in close with small, almost comedic, movements toward you as she clasps her hooves to her chest and spreads her wings a tiny bit.
Looking at you with big, soft eyes, she leans in and whispers: Cobalt….would….would you….be my special somepony?
Spaghetti Roll!
Try to retain your spaghetti or you might make a fool of yourself! First 3 rolls of 1d10 taken, need a 20 or better to not spill your pasta!

Scootaloo's wings flair a tiny bit more, but if anything else happens she doesn't give it away.
A heartbeat passes with the two of you looking at one another, not a word in the room, before someone coughs.
"Alright, I think that's plenty girly," AppleBloom says from where she sits.
Scootaloo relaxes briefly, before blowing a puff of air at her hair curl and smiling smugly.
"Yeah, I'm a real heart melter."
She promptly sticks her tongue out at you and scoots back to her seat with a laugh while Apple Bloom rolls her eyes. Sweetie giggles a bit and Brynn just looks like….Brynn.
"Guess that means it's my turn," Scootaloo says with that sly grin of hers, "Alright….Let's see here…."
"How about you, Sweetie?"
"Yeah!" Sweetie says, throwing her hooves in the air.
"Truth or Dare?"
"Well, everyone's daring tonight…so how about truth?"
"Fine. What do you really think about when you're just staring at the chalkboard in class?"
"You mean when I'm daydreaming?" Sweetie asks innocently, "Well….just playing with you all, I guess. Having fun, running around on the playground, singing and trying to get our cutie marks…"
You, Brynn, and Apple Bloom let out little "Aww," sounds while Scootaloo rolls her eyes.
"Jeeze."

#Scootaloo status: ?
"Don't want you to feel left out, AppleBloom," Sweetie says sweetly, "Truth or Dare?"
"Eh…..Dare."
"I dare you to give Brynn a big hug!"
Everyone just gives Sweetie a kind of weird look.
"What? He looks like he could use one!"
"I guess…?" AppleBloom says before leaning over and giving Brynn a quick hug, making the poor introvert blush, "There ya go," she says with a smile, patting him on the shoulder afterward, "I'm pretty good at hugs."
"Not as good as me!" Sweetie says, sticking her tongue out at AppleBloom with a grin.
"I'll take your word for it."
"Alright, back to you, Cobalt," Apple Bloom says with a grin, "Truth or Dare?"

You're a wizard, Harry
"I, uh, dreamt I was frolicking through a field of test papers with Miss Cheerilee. That counts, right?"
Brynn starts laughing immediately, and the others quickly follow suit. Your cheeks flush a bit but you laugh too. It really was pretty weird.
"Wow. That's….that's something alright," Apple Bloom says with a final laugh, "Why Miss Cheerilee?"
You shrug.
"Yeah, how do you explain that?" Scootaloo says, rubbing her sides, "Oh man, that hurt."
At least everyone got a good laugh out of your weird dream.
It's your turn to choose who goes next again.

"Truth," he says.

"How well do you REALLY know Twilight?"
Brynn tenses up, eyes darting back and forth as everyone looks at him.
"W-well, uh, I-" he swallows nervously, "Okay, look: I visited the library the first time just expecting a plain old library but then she walked out and it was just….wow, and then she made me tea every time I showed up but we didn't really talk-or I didn't anyway-until like the third time and then we got into a discussion about magical theory and she tied it to friendship and the applications of group magic and I accidentally stayed over there so long one night we ended up talking until dawn the next day and she was totally okay with that-"
Apple Bloom puts a hoof over the colts mouth, surprising him.
"Take a breath, chatterbox," she says playfully before removing her hoof from his face.
He breathes deep, smiles, then says, "She's one of my best friends."

The girls all make d'aww sounds, except for Scoots, but even she smiles.
"That's so sweet!" she says with a big smile, "I always liked Twilight too. She's so helpful."
"She's more than that…" Brynn says quietly, though he refuses to expound on the comment for now.
>>510745
>>510746
>>510747
>>510749
"That's pretty cute," you say with only a hint of sarcasm behind your smile, making the poor colt blush again.
"It's your turn, by the way."
"Oh! Right. Uh…Scootaloo!"
"Aw yeah, bring it on! Dare me!"
Brynn thinks for a moment before raising a hoof in the air.
"I got it! I dare you to stuff a whole apple in your mouth. Two if you can."
"Uh…okay."
Brynn hands Scootaloo a couple of rather large apples from the snack bar.
Long attempt short, Scoot manages to get an entire apple in her mouth, though her cheeks are pushed out rather uncomfortably. Everyone applauds before she rather ungracefully removes the apple from her mouth and shifts her jaw around a bit before taking a bite from the apple.
"'Kay, AppleBloom, you're up."
"Dare."
"Ooh~," Scoots says, taking another bite of her apple, "Feeling bold, huh?"
"Oh please, I can do whatever you dare me to."
"That sounds like a challenge! Alright: Kiss Cobalt."

"Wh-what?"
"You heard me. Give Cobalt a kiss on the cheek. Or are ya chicken?"
"I…I ain't chicken….but….I dunno, that just don't seem right…"
AppleBloom fidgets nervously, unable to make eye contact with you whenever she notices you looking her way. You're starting to feel a little embarrassed as well, though you hold it together much better than poor AB.
"I….guess I could. If, if Cobalt doesn't mind," She says after a while.
Suddenly, all eyes are on you.
Brynn is full of anticipation, but you can't get a read of Sweetie or Scoots. Especially with Scootaloo eating that apple.

You can't hear that and not blush like the little colt you are. Your heart starts going as Apple Bloom gets up nervously and starts walking over to you.
It's like she's in slow motion. All you can feel is your heart starting to pound away at your insides as she gets closer. She swallows nervously as she looks at you with those big, orange eyes of hers.
She doesn't look sad, or eager, or anything other than nervous, really. Or maybe you're just so worked up you can't tell either.
Your emotions are a torment of not being sure if you should want her to be kissing you, regardless of where. What will Brynn, Sweetie, and Scoots think? What's AB thinking? Is she doing it just because it's part of the dare?
AppleBloom sits down in front of you, snapping you out of your chaotic thoughts. She's so close…
The two of you stare at each other for a long moment, you staring into her eyes and her into yours.
Suddenly she leans in and gives you a swift kiss, moving her head at the last second to put it on your left cheek. You can barely hear the tiny smack that sounds as she breaks the kiss, so loud is your heart beating. Was it just you or did she linger a second?
When she sits back on her haunches both her cheeks are redder than apples, matching her mane color in intensity.
The quiet is broken by Brynn giving a small whistle, which Sweetie quickly picks up as well. Scootaloo snaps out of her watching to bite the apple she was eating with finality, before begrudging Apple Bloom a smile and a nod.
Apple Bloom smiles at you before quickly darting back to her spot, burying her face in her sleeping bag until she calms down.

"Maybe we should give Truth or Dare a rest," Bryn suggests as Apple Bloom and you calm down some more.
"I agree," Sweetie says.
"Sweetie, you agree with everything."
"Nuh uh!"
You and Brynn laugh as Sweetie and Scootaloo bicker gently before laughing again.
Suddenly Brynn yawns loudly, rubbing an eye.
"Oh man, what time is it?"
Checking the clock on the wall, you all see that it's just past midnight. How time flies…
"What, you can't be ready to sleep already!" Scootaloo protests, though the bags are starting to show under her eyes as well, "C'mon, we got time for one more game at least!"
"Alright," Brynn says with his ever improving smile, "What'd you have in mind?"
"No tag, now," Apple Bloom pipes up, face still in sleeping bag, "Too dark for that."
"Fine, fine," Scoots says, thinking, "We did cards, checkers, truth or dare, you already kissed Cobalt-"
Apple Bloom squeaks or groans, you can't quite tell, but she buries her face into her sleeping bag more.
"…I'm out of ideas if we can't go outside," she says anticlimactically.
"Ooh! Stories!" Sweetie says excitedly, "Let's tell stories! Spooky stories or interesting ones. Doesn't matter, let's just have stories before bed!"

"Ooh! Stories!" Sweetie says excitedly, "Let's tell stories! Spooky stories or interesting ones. Doesn't matter, let's just have stories before bed!"
>Sounds good
>Come up with something else.

You can always make something up, or just let someone else tell a story instead.
#Apple Bloom status: ?
The group decides, and you agree, that stories sound good. Things are beginning to wind down, so it wouldn't be bad to focus on a positive story, or maybe a lightly creepy one just to give some gentle spooks, before everyone sleeps. Or tries to. Whichever.

Apple Bloom is in no mood to tell stories, and Brynn seems too tired. Scoots offers a tale of adventure or something, and Sweetie says she's got plenty of stories.
You aren't really feeling telling a story. Still worked up over AB's kiss, maybe. Shaking your head in a vain attempt to clear it, you let the two hash it out.
In the end, Sweetie gets the reigns to the story time.
>Scary story
>Happy story
>Whatever she wants

You ask for a spooky story if she has one, but in the end just let her decide whatever she wants.
"Okay! So: It was a spooky Nightmare Night like any other. Ponies dressed up and having fun, going door to door for sweets to give to Nightmare Moon-"
"Sweetie, try not to sound so happy if you're telling a scary story," Scootaloo interrupts with a grin.
"Oh. Right. Ahem!" Sweetie lowers her voice a notch, leaning toward the center of the group, "So there I was, collecting candy and dressed up as the sweetest little maid I could possibly be: Sweeping up candy with a little tiny broom I held with my mouth while Rarity talked with the adults handing out sweets. Everything was going great!"
"But suddenly, there were cries of terror from the bobbing for apples area! Ponies running everywhere, screaming in fright! I couldn't help but run toward it!"
Scootaloo slaps her own face with a hoof dramatically.
"You should get that looked at, Scootaloo," Sweetie says reflexively.
"Anyway; So I get to the big wooden tub they use for it, and all the apples are crawling around with spider legs coming out of them!"
"What? No way."
"Uh huh, she's right," Apple Bloom says, suddenly popping her head out from her sleeping bag, "I saw it myself! Apples with spider legs, just…crawlin' all over!"
"I think it was Nightmare Moon. Like I was saying: So, there I was, at the spider-apple stand, when one of 'em crawled on me and just started walking all over!"
Sweetie jumps up, dashing over to you to turn around and start rubbing her tail on the back of your neck. You spasm a bit in a fit of giggles before putting your hooves over your mouth to stifle the noise as Sweetie continues.
"They were all over me and just tickling me like crazy! I couldn't stop laughing and laughing. It felt like forever until finally Rarity came and saved me. She blasted them with her magic and they turned back to normal apples! Which were delicious!"
The room is quiet for a bit before Scoots asks the inevitable question.
"Is that it?"
"Yep!" Sweetie says, plopping back onto her haunches when she heads back to her sleeping bag.
Scootaloo sighs as Apple Bloom chimes in: "Still, it WAS pretty creepy. Nightmare Moon pulled a fast one on us while we weren't looking. Totally wasn't expectin' it."

"Well, I'm pooped." Sweetie says with a yawn, "Is it okay for me to go to sleep?"
Everyone shares a gentle laugh, with Brynn yawning not long after as everyone begins to settle down for bed.
"Oh, right, I'll get the lights," Scootaloo says suddenly, hopping out of her sleeping bag to go hit the lights.
"Thanks, Scootaloo," Apple Bloom says with a yawn as the lights go out.
Scootaloo starts walking her way back to her bag in the dark, but when she gets near your spot she trips over one of your legs and falls right onto you before you can react.
The dull thud gets everyone's attention, though they don't do much other than ask if Scootaloo is okay.
"Yeah," she says just loud enough to be heard as she lies on top of you, "I'm fine."
"Good," AB says, audibly rolling over in her sleeping bag, "Don't want anyone hurtin' themselves at my little sleepover."
Scootaloo just kind of looks at you for a while. You can tell after your eyes adjust to the dark. She seems….tense.
Finally, as the soft sayings of "Goodnight" start floating about the room, she makes her move. As Sweetie calls out a goodnight of her own, Scootaloo lets her head drop and kisses you on your cheek. The one Apple Bloom didn't kiss before.
The kiss is much like how Apple Bloom's was. Quick, firm, and a little confused. When she moves away from you again, she whispers goodnight.
To you, and only you.
As quietly as she can she picks herself up off of you and finds her way back to her own sleeping bag, somehow not alerting the others. You think.
You lie awake for a while, still trying to take in all that's happened tonight.
In the end, you fall asleep still wondering how you're gonna make any of this work. But for the time being, you're happy with the warm fuzzy feeling inside of something new.
Something….sweet.

Well darn, I didn't see your comment before moving on thanks to something not loading right I guess.
Sorry bout that.
Alright, I think I'm going to call it for tonight. Sorry for the short session. There's an episode tomorrow though and I don't want to keep people up until they miss it.
We'll probably re-use this thread next time. Maybe. I'll let you know.

And feel free to post questions in the /qt/ thread again if you like.
Based on how short the sessions are going to be I can answer out some character questions to help save time covering them in quest later for you guys, that way you get some frames of reference without sacrificing any plot points we have here.

It's my pleasure. Glad you liked it. I'll work on getting some longer sessions in, but I'm unsure how common that'll be. 4 hour chunks or so might be best for the Cute Quest since too much causes breaking point issues.
Then again, it's just a mini story about cute tiny horses. We'll do whatever.
