Cutie Mark Crusaders

Midnight and I had gotten closer since we had met, and we always hung out. Sometimes we'd get to hang out with Sweetie Belle, but other than that, we were busy. Midnight was like a best friend to me. He helped me discover feelings about people that I've never felt before. When I started dating my first pony, he looked kinda sad. I think it was just because he didn't have his own Special somepony. However, when we broke up, it was like he was happy.

When I got up today, I looked at my schedule. Today was our day off from training. I knew that Fire Glitz, Dashing Shimmy, and Midnight Tango, and I would get to hang out! I was so happy! But then I also remembered that Fire and Dashing may got out later. That would leave me and Midnight. Shining Shimmer and Sunset Breeze would be alone, but I hated them both, even if Shining did apologize to me. What she did was wrong.

I walked downstairs eager to get out of the building. I was greeted by the sight of Fire and Dashing leaving.

"Of course..." I thought to myself. I walked over to them.

"So, you guys are wanting to rain check again, huh?" I asked, putting on an angry expression to trick them. Their expressions instantly turned innocent

"Oh we were gonna hang out right? Sorry!" Dashing said. I changed my expression to let them know it was a trick. All three of us laughed. I knew the real reasons as to why they always left me and Midnight alone together. They wanted us to get together, but I don't see that happening at all! I mean, sure he's cute, but what could a guy like him  see in a gal like me? I'm practically unattractive!

I walked over and sat down on the steps. I wasn't really hungry so I didn't bother to get breakfast. Instead, I just sat and wait. I was wondering what Midnight and I would do today. I silently got up and walked over to some of the portraits that were hanging up. They were lovely. Apple Bloom would've loved them.

"Ahh!" Midnight screamed behind me. I jumped to what felt like, 10 feet in the air, my wings flared out.

"Whoa! What was that for?" I asked, laughing.

"Just cause." He replied simply, and flew up to me. "Get some clothes on, and follow me afterwards, I wanna take you somewhere."

I was a little taken aback by his words, since he never said anything like that to me. Not even when he planned where we would go. It would always be something like, 'Hey Scootalo, Wanna go to the movies?' Never, anything like that.

I nodded, and flew up to my room, and put on a short dress and jacket, and a scarf. It had been really cold down here in Canterlot lately. I flew back down the stairs, where I saw Midnight waiting for me. Once he saw me, he flared out his wings, and took off. I followed him, as he soared up high. I noticed that we were heading for the clouds, so I closed my eyes.

When I opened them, I noticed that we were above them. He landed soundlessly on a cloud and took a seat. I sat next to him, and admired Canterlot, which was below us. From what I've heard, this is one of the most romantic places that Pegasi take their special dates.

"Scootalo, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you..." He trailed off, blushing, as he took one of my hooves in his.

I stared into his eyes. I was also blushing by now.

"I was wondering if you'd be my, Special Somepony." He barely whispered.

I nodded, as he pulled me into a  soft, yet fast kiss. I knew that he was my special somepony, because I was getting the same feeling that I had when I'd first met him. By now, I realized that the feeling was love. I had been in love with Midnight all along, but I didn't realize it. My heart never let me. I closed my eyes, a tear rolling down my cheek. Yes. This was true love, and I was sorry that I hadn't realized it until now.

We both opened our eyes, and he noticed my tears. He wiped them away, and asked me what was wrong.

"It's nothing." I replied sheepishly.

Well, now Fire and Dashing got what they wanted. We we're together. I was happy. I couldn't wait to tell Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom.

We flew back to the building afterwards, my tears, long gone. My hatred, long gone. There was something about Midnight that made me feel so alive, like I was dead without him. I was happy to be with him, and I guess you could say the same thing for him. However, when I told Sweetie Belle, she was furious.

"What?!" She screamed.

"I thought you'd be happy for me!" I said sadly. "I thought you'd be happy for me." I was now whispering.

"Well I'm obviously not! Break up with him!" She yelled at me greedily.

"No! You're my friend, and I thought you'd be happy! I finally found the one, and now you want to take him away from me!" I yelled at her.

She glared at me, and I looked at her, hurt covering my face. I flew out of the A.C Building, and back over to mine. I can't believe that Sweetie Belle would do this. I thought we were friends. I thought she'd be happy for me. I didn't think that she'd ever want me to break up with the person that I loved. I would have to tell Midnight. I was sad, and I felt like he was the only one that could cheer me up.

Once I had arrived, the first place I went was to Midnight's room. After about three knocks he finally opened. I saw a book on his bed, and guessed that he'd been sucked into the book.

"What's up Scoots?" He asked. After a few moments, he finally noticed my tears. His smile quickly turned into a frown.

"Scoots, what happened?" He asked.

"S-Sweetie Belle, i-is what h-happened. Sh-she wants me t-to break up with y-you." I struggled to say.

He pulled me into a hug, and reassured me. I knew that I would have to get over this, but Sweetie Belle was one of my best friends. The thought of what had happened had really torn me apart. Feeling reassured, I walked back to my room, where I went over to my bed. After a few moments, I'd remembered that I left my jacket in Midnight's room. I walked over to it, and opened the door, where I found him and Sweetie Belle cuddling. I broke down in tears, and locked the door to my room. Fire and Dashing had a key, so they could get in.

For the rest of the day, I stayed curled up in the dark. I thought that Midnight had loved me. I didn't think that he'd cheat on me. I was so naive. I felt like my world had turned upside down, and I didn't want to talk to anyone. My world was over.
