Our Hips Can't Hide
[At school…]
"Well no covering up well today," sighed Melody.
"We never really have covered up well. It's just not our nature here," protested Starlight.
"True but look at what we have on today. We've worn these Body Socks daily and they shrink in the washer," added Melody.
"All the better for everyone, right?" suggested Ace.
"Not necessarily. If they shrink, that's less to cover up where we want to cover up like our behinds," replied Bright Eyes.
"Even the elasticity of the Body Sock has its limits as to how far it can stretch and speaking of behinds, we seem to have less staying hidden today than we had last week," added Clover.
"We may just have to get the next size up," said Bon Bon.
"Or wear something over it that's longer," finished Bright Eyes.
"Kinda too late to do anything about that now," remarked Starlight.
"Hello, class. It's good to be back here again," said Hackney coming into the room.
"Act natural and don't show any reason for suspicion," whispered Patch to everyone around her.
"Something wrong? I thought you'd all be happy to have me back," questioned Hackney a little puzzled.
"There goes our secrecy," said Bon Bon softly.
"Alright, what's going on here?" asked Hackney. *she walks around the room*
"It truly isn't that big of a deal, Ms Hackney," insisted Sweetheart.
"I don't know about that, Sweetheart. I think I've found your reason for being so nervous. Your outfits are so tight that your hips are spilling over and your behinds are peeking out. Why on earth are you ponies wearing so little in my classroom? Sure I tolerated it before but honestly, I think it's getting a little out of hand," protested Hackney.
"I guess our outfits shrunk," shrugged Bright Eyes.
"I can tell that's definitely apparent, Bright Eyes. Listen, girls, that can't be good on your body. It's cutting off the flow of nutrients your body needs and not to mention it's bad behavior," answered Hackney.
"We weren't trying to go this far, Ms Hackney. We had no idea they shrunk in the washing machine," explained Patch.
"Perhaps you ponies need the next size up or need to lose weight. I'd like each of you to head home and cover up before heading back here so I can teach. I shudder at the thought of bring any of you to the board otherwise," ordered Hackney.
"Yes Ms Hackney," said the female Tales ponies before heading sadly home. [10 minutes later…]
"There they are," announced Lancer.
"Much better, thank you. Today's lesson is all about Abs Livelihood. He created the Giddyupsburg Address. You may recall seeing his head on a Jangle coin," said Hackney after checking the outfits.
"Is he still alive, Ms Hackney?" asked Sweetheart.
"He had an unfortunately short life when another pony got angry though I can't tell you the rest because it's more than I think you'd be able to handle so why not leave it at that?" replied Hackney. *The clock chimes 3PM* [Later that day…]
"I guess it was only a matter of time until we were caught literally with our shorts down," stated Bright Eyes.
"Does this mean we won't be wearing these Body Socks anymore?" asked Bon Bon.
"Not unless I either make larger sizes or longer hoof lengths and I'm kind of more inclined to doing the latter because it won't take as long to do," replied Bright Eyes.
"It's too bad because we love wearing these," remarked Clover.
"We'll continue wearing these, Clover. It's just that some adjustments have to be made first," assured Starlight.
"I'm gonna miss the struggle to get them on," sighed Patch.
"We just need to remember that it will get done," reminded Bright Eyes.
"That's good to know because I enjoy Sweetheart's little dance to get dressed," added Teddy.
"I never do it intentionally, Teddy. It just truly works to get them on," explained Sweetheart.
"Sure but since I don't wear anything, I have to wait for you," stated Teddy.
"However long the wait, it'll be worth it so take your time, Bright Eyes," comforted Patch.
"Until then, it's just a matter of having some patience," thought Bon Bon.
