Now that they were an item, Blue and Varmint were thrilled to introduce each other to their families. Their parents had been close for years so the two families had always been familiar with each other, but introducing each other as girlfriends was a whole new thing. It was just another formality that made it all the more real that they were official!

Varmint had invited Blue over for lunch first, so there they sat at the table surrounded by Varm’s many family members. As the chatter settled down, she looked around the table and confidently wrapped an arm around Blue.

“Everypony, I’d like y’all to meet my girlfriend, Blue Velvet.”

Blue was absentmindedly fiddling her hooves in the grooves of the table, not being rude, just daydreaming as per usual. This was definitely something the rest of the family noticed though as soon she was met with an-

ahem

-from the matriarch. She quickly shot her head up and beamed.

"Oh yes! Hello everypony! I’m so glad to be here!"

The rest of the family murmured their greetings to her, except for one. Brackish sat there with a shit-eating grin, ready to stir the pot as he stared pointedly at Blue.

“Oh, you’re dating my sis now? I thought you were still fooling around with River! Or was it Taffy this time?”

Varmint reached over to smack him upside the head.

“Shut up Brack, ya daggum idiot! Don’t ya pull shit with my girlfriend!”

Instead of shutting up, he pasted on a fake innocent look.

“Hey, you can’t blame me for not remembering! There are so many it’s hard to keep track!”

He shot a sneer at Blue.

She covered in shame. She wasn’t embarrassed about her relationships persay, she didn’t regret a single one. But the fact that ponies like Brackish could twist it into a badge of regret her made her queasy. She was healthy and respectable no matter what her “number” was and she hated that anyone would ever think she wasn’t.

Varmint’s Ma seemed to pay no mind to this, however, as she went on with a chuckle,

“Well that don’t matter because she’s with Varm now! And she’s gonna make an honest mare out of her! Ain’t you, sugarcube?”

She winked at Blue.

“Shucks Ma, I’d say she already has! Any longer and she’ll tame the snake right outta me.”

Varmint quipped back, eyeing her girlfriend flirtingly.

“Oh, you know I will~”

Blue fluttered her eyes, though her flirting was weaker this time as she knew her girlfriend’s brother was watching.

Brackish let out an ugly, sickening laugh as he watched them, uttering so quietly only Blue could hear,

“I don’t think Varm’s the snake here.”

The mare’s stomach turned as she heard this, looking to see if her girlfriend had heard him. But it didn’t seem like she had as she was still laughing with her Ma, who then turned back to Blue.

“So why don’t ya tell us all about yourself and how ya came to be lovin’ our Varm?”

“You can skip a lot of it, we don’t have all da—OW!”

Varmint heard him this time as she delivered him a swift kick under the table, motioning for Blue to go on.

But as Blue opened her mouth to speak, the family’s eyes on her, she suddenly found she had nothing to say.
