Discoveries from Friends

"So, how did you like volunteering for the Hypnosis show of Claude's, Annie?" Mercedes said politely, a friendly smile on her face as Ingrid drinks some tea.

"It was kind of exciting, though I don't remember that much of it." The orange haired student replied, pondering as she takes a sip of her tea before reaching for a tea biscuit.

"Really?" Ingrid said, with a more mischievous grin as Annette put her tea cup down, about to gobble down her pastry. "Annette, shake it." The Blue lion's hand stopped, putting the confectionary on her tray as she stood up and pushed her chair back. She was surprised by this, and even more alarmed when her body started dancing, the movements drawing attention to her cute belly.

"Wh-what's going on?" She said in mild panic.

"Well, Annie, when you weren't picked by the audience, Claude gets to take some of the performances the others did and convert them into triggers." Merci explained, the big sister figure not looking surprised by Annette's sudden dancing at all.

"S-so any time anyone says something t-to me, I have to... belly dance!?" Annette was blushing up a storm, a mix of fear and embarrassment spreading over her face.

"Well, not exactly." Ingrid said as she took another sip of tea. "He also chose who gets to activate your triggers." Annie caught the plural there, and her anxiety doubled. "Luckily for you, yours can only be activated by the girls of the Blue lions."

"Aka, us~" Mercedes interjected, as she got up to walk over to her, grabbing the biscuit off of Annette's plate as she gets close. "And, you also got two triggers." Holding up the pastry to Annette's face, she said the other one. "Who wants an Annie Snack?" She asked in a sweetly cute voice.

Annette suddenly found herself sniffing at the treat before gobbling it up, eating out of her friend's hand, her body still dancing. "Arf!? Woof!? Bark bark bark!?" She said out loud before looking at her two friends, whining like a puppy in her feeling of betrayal.

"Aww, don't feel bad." Ingrid said, scratching the belly dancing puppy behind the ear. Annette's tongue lolling out as she leaned into it. "I have an Idea of what will make you feel better. Manuela and Hilda both got rougher triggers, especially who can use them. Why don't we go see them? Bark once for Hilda, Twice for Manuela. And don't worry, I'll turn your trigger off." The pegasus knight pushed Annette's belly button, the redhead's dance stopping as she went onto her hands and knees.
