While Vera and Blythe had spent plenty of time getting to know each other and getting in touch with their pro-lesbian side, both of them still had a yearning for a stallion. This was apparently very normal for same-sex Animalian couples. Even Animalia's most well-known lesbian couple, Eliza and Beth, felt attraction towards men as much as towards each other. Animalia has a much more open view about partnerships than most other places. For instance, while Herman and Jason were ostensibly married to each other, they still had plenty of sexy time with the similarly-bonded Arlene and Moxie. One would wonder how any kids who were borne from this union would be raised, but that wasn't a concern right now.
The point being that while Vera and Blythe liked each other, there were three new stallions who had recently joined Animalia. However, it wasn't quite enough as Blythe still had her two straight sisters, Coye and Faye, to consider. The arrangement would be a little hard to work out, even if Very and Blythe shared a stallion between them. But before they could even start, they would need to figure which stallion is most compatible with them.

"I do appreciate you ladies helping out with Homosexuals Anonymous," said Anton as he walked with Vera and Blythe. Coye had come along mostly to support her sister. (And not to have first pick of a potential mate, as some might suggest.)
"Is it me or are a lot of your old bodybuilding buddies gay?" asked Vera.
"They're not all gay," protested Anton, "But I admit it's a bit of a recurring trend. I suppose some gay men would take out their frustration of not being able to have people reciprocate their feelings by jacking up."
"Or they'd like being around muscular men who wear next to nothing," said Coye.
"That may be," said Anton, "I should let you know that these three are from a more recent generation."
"So?" asked Coye.
"We're still younger than they are," said Blythe. She and her sister had long since become adjusted to being physical adults and were basically adults in mind to. So what if their birth dates were too recent?
"Well, it's just that these three were also trying to do another career while being bodybuilders," said Anton.
"And that would be?" asked Blythe.
"Hip-hop artists," said Anton.
"You're kidding," said Vera flatly.
"They were calling themselves 'Heavy Bricks' or something like that," said Anton, "All I know is that trying to do both burned them out, made them turn to steroids and pot to boost their careers, and that didn't work out at all."
"I imagine not," said Vera.
"They hope to restart their careers, so you'll have to put up with some...eccentricities," said Anton.
Then Anton led them into a room where the three stallions were. They were all pretty muscular, which could easily be seen since they were wearing jean shorts and no shirts. They had other accessories though. One that was a light chocolate color was wearing a small clock on a necklace, which may or may not be telling the right time. The stallion that was a darker brown had sunglasses and a backwards cap. The stallion was straight black had a floppy hat, sunglasses, and what were probably fake rings.
"Yo, yo, yo, watsup," said the black stallion, "We be Studs in the Hood. I'm Debony and these are mah bros and homies, Bankston and Marquise."
Vera nearly turned on her heel and walked right out the door. It was obnoxious enough when humans talked like that. It turned out that it was even worse when Animalians did that. Anton seemed to sense her reluctance and put a hand on her shoulder. "Give them a chance," he said softly.
Vera sighed before looking at the 'Studs'. "Please tell me you were actually black and not white boys pretending to be black," she said.
"Yo, we represent the best o' the best o' the hood," said Bankston, the dark brown horse.
"Guys, cool it," said Marquise, "We're supposed to impress the mares, not drive them off."
"Don't go soft on me, man," said Debony, "Everyone knows it's bros before-"
Anton cleared his throat and said, "I know you boys are still adjusting to your new selves, but I must ask that you treat ladies with respect."
Blythe sighed and muttered, "Maybe this is a mistake. I don't think any of these guys would be a good match for Faye."
"I dunno, that Marquise guy seems cute," said Coye, "But then, I might be keeping that one."
Blythe turned Vera and asked, "You think you can stomach the other two?"
Vera sighed and said, "I suppose I can't afford to be picky. I just hope these 'studs' are better at being musicians than muscleheads."
"Hey, girl, what's with the harsh vibes?" asked Debony, "Ya got something against hip-hop?"
"Well, it's mostly that hip-hop these days seems less like singing and more like, how do I put this, swearing in rhythm," said Vera.
"Yo, I get that," said Bankston, "It's more than just bustin' a rhyme. It's gotta have soul and-"
"Please tell me you don't talk like that all the time or I'm walking out of here," said Vera flatly.
"Ok, we'll stop," said Bankston mildly.
Vera sighed and said, "That's better."
