All work and no eat (Malice/Open)

[Deleted]

If dragons could sweat, Beatrice would be at the moment. But boy she did love a good workout and full use of her superior dragon abilities. Here she was, in a small town called Ponyville. Her sister told her that they should head there as a recent case of shenanigans lead to a bunch of property damage and such need good and fast workers with a decent amount of pay. Pay would be good. Especially since she kinda ate up their money. Again. Okay. Wasn't her fault that she just gets so hungry...

She just had a healthy appetite. Anyways, once Beatrice and Malice arrived in the nice little community, people were surprised. Most common reaction as apparently teenage dragons weren't common. Especially girl ones. Beatrice found it dumb but whatever. Work was work. She was helping repairing a house at the moment. She lifted up a very large and heavy beam of metal. Heavy even compared to even most worker ponies. Beatrice welded the beam in proper place showing little hassle and grabbed some tools to finish off the next section.

Because she was the more physical one of the group, Malice delt with the money and after deals were made, she went to check some books out from the library. A hour later Beatrice was done with 85% of the construction works in the town. It was noon and her loud stomach growled snapping her out of work. She guessed Malice could do the painting. She was better at that anyways. Beatrice grumbled at her hunger and how she wasn't done... She might not been that responsible, but she loved working and doing the job, as well as completing one.

She sighed. Beatrice landed on the ground and held her growling tummy. "Hope Mal knows a good place to eat... Need a break from rodents. And hunting. Also need to check for a resting place..." She grumbled then started to walk and bit aimlessly. It wasn't long until she ended up bumping into someone, mostly not paying attention due to food fantasies. Looking down she sighed.

"My bad. Wasn't paying attention. You seen my sister by any chance?" She asked whilst putting her claws on her hips. Then she blinked and noticed it was Malice! Whoops.

"Whoopi! Sorry Mally. Didn't recognize you. My bad. Can we go eat? And want some liquor or something? I feel like a bit of letting lose!" Beatrice said with a grin then banged her hips against the dragon while having a arm around her neck

Malice had been lost in the pages of a recent epic she had picked up in the last township they were in. This was apparently an older tale about a simple Earth Pony having to go on a grand adventure to assist a group of Pegasai in reclaiming their homeland from a dragon. She was a bit perturbed of the current trend of dragons being made into villains in stories, but she knew there was little she could actually do about it: Her species had earned quite the reputation over the years.

As she walked, her story was interrupted as she felt something slam into her. It wasn't intense enough to send her onto her backside, it was as though a pony or something bigger had walked into her. She did lose her book in the midst of this, however, causing her to grumble and scoop down to pick it up.
"My bad. Wasn't paying attention. You seen my sister by any chance?"

The voice made her sigh, recognizing it to be none other then her sister. She wiped some dirt off of the cover of her book, looking up at her elder sibling as she recognized her. As always, she was hungry.
"Beatrice, you know I am not comfortable with..."Letting Loose" as you describe it. As such, I will not be joining you in such chaos should you wish to indulge in it."
"However, I won't decline in partaking in the gaining of food and perhaps beverages." She permitted a slight smile to cross her face."I have saved some bits, so we may have something a bit more extravagant should we wish. Did you have any particular craving today sister?"

[Deleted]

Beatrice just chuckled. She was so worn out that she didn't even recognize her sister for just a couple of moments. But of course, Malice wasn't a partier like she was. She frowned and looked down at her slightly shorter sister. Then she placed a soft, but strong hand on her head, giving her a couple of slight pats.

She loved her sister, but sometimes felt bad for her. She wasn't very good at being social or having fun. She sighed and gave her a slight smile.

"Come on Mals. You can put on a game face, and just try to be social. It won't hurt. Hey, you might even find a friend that is just as dorky as you are. You could even talk about whatever you're reading!" Beatrice said as she looked around. Luckily they were in the middle of town. She spotted a bar and restaurant to their far right.

Chuckling she lifted her sister up in a hug, which turned into a more forceful manhandle and quickly ran over to the restaurant first. It seemed more like a buffet which made her stomach growl right next to her sister's head that was in her arms. She placed her in front and shoved her through following behind her.

"Let's try to have some fun! One alcoholic drink won't hurt the fancy smancy breathing or whatever you call it! But... You should probably order. You know my patience is bad with this stuff! " She said drooling and gazing at the mass amounts of food.

[Deleted]

Malice let out a squeak of surprise as she was lifted, her calm composure briefly dissipating as her sister hefted her into her arms. It was a strange feeling honestly, to be so easily handled and powerless when she was of a race that could normally give others pause. But, that was what happened in these moments her sister lifted her.

Despite feeling quite fragile and small, she could still hear her sisters stomach grumble. Before she could remark, her feet had once more found solid ground and she was being pushed through the front door of the buffet.

Clearing her throat, she looked at the one behind the counter before ordering their drinks.
"We are to pay by the meals eaten, the plates are color coded by price: The black plates are the pricier of the foods, while red is the cheapest." For the time being the bookish dragon was just glad to take a break and catch up with her sibling. It got lonely being surrounded by ponies after all. 

She handed her sister her preferred beverage, taking a dish and moving to a vacant table in order to prepare for the meal. It was a table meant for four, but given her sisters appetite she knew they would need the extra room at the table.

[Deleted]

While Malice ordered, she didn't even bother to listen to what she said about plates and cheapness. Beatrice just nodded with a smile and made her way over to the food line! Her stomach growled beyond loudly, getting some awkward looks from some nearby ponies. She didn't care though. Only food was on her mind. She saw what table they had with a slight glace and didn't even look to see what the foods actually were. She got five large almost over filled plates of well...everything. She did get five times of one of everything!

This caused some looks. Like a lot of looks. She just gave everyone a glare and that made them back off. She had the table covered in food. Some plates were stacked on top of each other. She dug in. Her table manners were horrible. They were embarrassing even, if she cared. But she didn't. Loud gulps, huge swallows and many other horrible noises filled there table. Beatrice was stuffing her face at a alarming rate, even by her usual standards. She was mostly swallowing food whole as well, just to get her stomach filled faster.

She was about one third through her plates then she looked at Malice, taking a big happy drink from her alcoholic apple cider. "Woo! This stuff is good~ So, what have you been up to sister? How was your day?" She said before gulping down two or more plates in one large snake like gulp before she started to demolish more of her massive meal.

[Deleted]

Unlike her sibling, Malice had only just barely finished her first plate. She took her time with her first course of the meal, wanting to have some time so she wouldn't end up with some stomach cramps or bloated. She'd been on the receiving end of such things in the past, and it was not an experience she was eager to revisit anytime soon.

The question of how her day was made her cease eating, taking a sip of her own non-alcoholic cider.
"My day was mostly uneventful. I did briefly run into a griffon of all creatures, yet they flew off screaming. I'm not sure if it was because of myself or a farm pony that was making their way down the same street carrying supplies. I it was assume farm pony, he would likely have looked intimidating to the Griffon given their size." She pondered for a moment."What of yourself sister? Anything of note occur?"

[Deleted]

The amount of food Beatrice ate was beyond comprehension and she had some many people watching, some losing their lunch at the sight of her devouring the incredibly large mass of food. She was done with all of the plates by the end of Malice's reply. She chuckled at her sister and sat back down in her chair. She smiled at Malic, resting her hands on her bloated mass of a belly that touch and pressed against the table.

"Eh. Don't sweat it Mally. It might have been you actually. Dragons are frightening to most species that don't know us." She said as she patted her belly. Taking one hand off, she took a big long drink of the cider. Beatrice licked her lips. "I just worked on repairs. Should finish tomorrow within a hour or so. Ponies can be great full. Would you think we could save enough money to build a house somewhere maybe? We can still travel, but would be nice." Beatrice said.

Then Beatrice took the rest of one cider cu, and chugged her second. Afterwards her stomach gurgled loudly. That can't be good. Then she burped a stream of weak lightning in Malice's face. The gastric uproar didn't smell to good as well. Beatrice giggled. "My bad sister..." Beatrice said half apologizing.

[Deleted]

Malice let out a sigh, taking a talon and running it through her presently electrified hair. She tried to pat it back down, only to find that parts of it would just continue to stick up or out at angles. Letting out a huff of defeat, she looked back at Malice, feeling completely ridiculous as of right now.

"A home?" Placing a talon upon her chin, she tapped the appendage against it gently as she let her mind ponder the possibility of building a home."Well, we would need supplies and some more funds but...I would not deny the chance to have somewhere that we may be able to call our own. It would be...nice...I suppose is the correct word."

She had been walking Equestria for some time now, with merely her sister in tow. For them to settle in one place was something she had never even considered possible after what had happened back in their village, always thinking it best to keep moving instead of staying still.

Could they do it though was the question? It would take some time, that much was certain, but could they stay in one place rather then walk aimlessly?

[Deleted]

Beatrice giggled at her sister as she couldn't seem to get her hair down, because of the static that now went through her hair. Beatrice got started on her second mug, licked her her talons to get them moist, and tried to mat her hair back down. She chuckled as she partly got it down, while other parts still stuck up. She smiled at Malice. She really did care for her sister. She felt like no one else would ever understand nor care for them or what they have been through. Not a lot of ponies from what they seen has been banned from their home, with the threat of server injuries or worse for returning. She also didn't think many actually were judge for being so monstrous, or whatever ran through their minds when they were seen.

Malice was the sweeter of the two. It was as if she wasn't even a dragon. She just wanted a home, less for her, but more for her sister. "Well. I think you would benefit from having a home just somewhere. Maybe not even in a town, but just somewhere. You at least deserve a home." Beatrice said started on her third mug of alcohol. She was starting to feel tipsy. She knew that she would have to have help walking to the motel. Beatrice wasn't full, but didn't want to get banned from here. Not again. She got up, her stomach bulged slightly. Beatrice looked at Malice.

"I really wished I stopped those idiots before they did that to you." She admitted to Malice, putting a claw on her shoulder.

[Deleted]

Malice pondered her sisters words. Having a home would be a nice change of pace from the constant journeys that they undertook across Equestria together. Traveling did open her mind to a number of new experiences and opportunities, but to have somewhere to return after all was said and done did appeal to her heavily.
"We both deserve a Home, sister."

Standing up once her sister had, she would lightly dust herself down from any crumbs or pieces of food that may have gotten onto her scales during her meal. As careful as she was, the dragoness wasn't perfect. Crumbs did escape her at times, being so small and prone to mess. Drawing her out of her momentary quest for cleanliness was a talon being placed on her shoulder, and the words that followed made her pause.

Slowly, she would turn to look at her sibling, expression growing softer.
"It's OK Beatrice. You came for me when you could have left me to the wilds, you stood at my side when I had been cast out. That is more then I could ever ask of a Sister." Her eyes would go downcast from her sibling."I apologize for all the harm I caused. And, for...well, for everything that's happened."

As happy as she was to have her sister at her side in her exile, she still felt guilty: Her sister had sacrificed any chance of happiness at their home by following her and staying at her side. She couldnt' help but feel responsible for how their lives had panned out so far.
