"If I wasn't socially obligated to do this, I would've already roundhouse kicked you out of this building."
"Well, that would've been very unladylike of you."
"Let's just get this over with, Carny."
Charity and Carnation have been rivals since they were kids. They compete in everything, from grades to extracurricular activities to popularity contests. At their high school senior prom, Charity was picked as prom queen, and Carnation as prom king. They were both extremely frustrated, but had an unspoken truce for the rest of the night— until their fellow students insisted that the king and queen dance together. Thus ensued a brilliantly coordinated passive-aggressive dance battle. Charity insists that she won since she was able to throw Carnation off long enough to take the lead, but he claims that he let her.
One of my favorite tropes is "rivals who don't realize that they've actually been helping each other succeed the whole time and kinda need each other to stay sane," so I had to include it in Charity's story.
Anthro stuff is difficult! Looking up references to go off of doesn't even work because pony bodies don't work like human bodies and it's all just a bunch of confusing garbage!! >:0 This pose wouldn't have worked with quadrupeds though so I had to try.
