Just a Fun Little Sleepoverby ReapsChaptersShushing a SisterNot Even SunsetThe Sweet ChapterShushing a SisterApple Bloom groaned as she and her friends steadily made their way to Scootaloo’s house. “Yer mom can’t be serious, Scoots. Ain’t no way she’s really gonna put us through that.” Scootaloo sighed, not wanting this any more than her friends. “Look, I get it, okay? First time you guys get to stay over, and they have to join in too." “But why? I don’t want to have a sleepover with them. I want to sleep over with you two.” Sweetie Belle frowned as she followed behind her friends. “Look, can we just please not talk about it for now? I’d kinda like to imagine I won’t be stuck with them all night for as long as I can," remarked a notably grouchy Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom simply elected to nod in reply as they finally reached their friend’s home, the small group promptly entering. After a moment of thought, Apple Bloom turned to the orange pegasus. “Say, Scoots, I just remembered, we ain’t never met yer mom.” Following a brief look of realization, Sweetie Belle added “Yeah, we don’t even know what she looks like.” Scootaloo quirked an eyebrow at the statements until she remembered her mom wasn’t home last time her friends had been there. “Oh, right. Well, she looks kinda like Rarity, I guess, ya know, she’s a unicorn and all that.” This earned a chorused response from her friends. “Wait, your mom’s a unicorn?” “Uh, yeah. I found out a few weeks ago that that’s probably why I’m not able to fly, you know, mixed blood and all that? Supposedly pegasi have difficulty flying if they aren’t pure-blooded," cam the rather nonchalant response. Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to speak when a knock sounded on the door, a fairly dainty one at that, a knock that drew a collective groan from the fillies inside. Scootaloo walked to the door. “I got it.” Upon opening of said door, none inside were surprised by the fillies waiting outside, neither of which seemed all too happy to be there. “Diamond, Silver.” “Scootaloo,” came the synchronized reply. “I’m not happy.” “I care, why?” “Oh, I don’t know, maybe because we’re step-sisters now?” “Whoa, what now?” Apple Bloom and Sweetie wore expressions that could be described as nothing short of flabbergasted. Scootaloo sighed. “Look, just don’t remind me and get in already. The less we discuss it, the faster the night will go. The faster it goes, the faster we get to the part where my mom gets fed up with your dad and this nightmare ends.” “Your mother? ‘Fed up’ with my father? Well, aren’t you full of yourself.” “Look, are you gonna come in ‘sis’? It’s not like we can get away with making some excuse up.” Diamond opened her mouth to respond, but settled for a huff as she walked inside, Silver Spoon following close behind. The two fillies glared at Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, something which they gladly returned. The room was silent until a voice came from off in the house, speaking in an intentional mimicry of a birdcall. “Scootaloo! Scootaloo! Are your friends here, already?” Scootaloo face-hoofed and sighed. “Yeah, mom, the whole group’s here!” “Awesome!” The sound of hooves striking the floor sounded for a moment before a white unicorn with an electric-blue, frazzled mane trotted around the corner, her signature deep purple shades on and a slight smirk on her face. The other fillies in the room simply stared for a moment as the well-known DJ sized up the group. “So, I’m just gonna take a shot in the dark here and assume you two are the Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon I’ve heard so much about?” The two fillies in question nodded, but gave no other response. Vinyl nodded as well. “Well, it seems I’ve got a bit of an impromptu gig to get to. Lucky for me, they at least had the decency to set up my emergency equipment ahead of time.” Vinyl walked over to Scootaloo and kissed the top of her muzzle. “Moooom!” Diamond Tiara, not missing a chance to mess with Scootaloo, promptly began laughing. Vinyl turned her head to the filly and walked over, smiling softly. “Oh, and I almost forgot about you!” The DJ leaned down, taking Diamond’s face in her forehooves and covering the filly’s face in kisses. “I can’t believe I almost forgot my other baby! I just can’t wait till I get to tuck you in every night, kiss your wittle cheeks, and help you in your wittle bubble baths! I know how much your daddy says you love it.” Diamond Tiara, now distinctly a few shades redder than usual, wormed her way out of the mare’s forelegs, only to be met by the crusaders and even Silver Spoon giggling. Vinyl chuckled and ruffled Scootaloo’s mane a bit before walking to the door. “Now you fillies play nice, and Scootaloo, remember what I told you, three solutions. Works every time. Love you, Scootaloo.” “Love you too, mom.” Vinyl waved before walking out, magically closing the door behind her and leaving the fillies alone in the house. Silver Spoon and Sweetie Belle took a few breaths to stop their giggling, something that helped to calm a still fairly flustered Diamond Tiara. “Well, I’m gonna grab some snacks. You guys can head on up to my room. AB, Sweetie, you remember where it is, right?” Both nodded and started on their way. Diamond Tiara motioned for Silver Spoon to go on ahead and chose to follow Scootaloo herself. Scootaloo hummed as she searched through the cabinets, unaware of the earth pony just behind her. “What the hay was up with your mom?” Scootaloo groaned and put her front hooves back on the floor as she turned to Diamond Tiara with an amused smirk. “Toldya ya wouldn’t know cool if it bit your rump.” Diamond growled, staring down the pegasus. “Look, just because we’re sisters now doesn’t mean I’m gonna be nice to you.” Scootaloo simply shrugged as she turned back to her search. “Good. Then I don’t have to share my other sister.” “Other sister? Since when did you have another sister?” “Uh, Rainbow Dash, duh. You remember her, right?” “No, and I don’t care. I. Don’t. Like. You.” Diamond stamped a hoof on each of the last four words. “Love you too, sis.” “Buck! You!” “Sorry, but I’m pretty sure siblings aren’t supposed to do that.” “We are not siblings. We are step-sisters, nothing more.” Scootaloo picked out a few bags of chips and set them on the counter before turning to Diamond. “Yeah, well guess what that means? It means we’re gonna be sharing a room eventually, Princess.” Diamond Tiara groaned. “You are not allowed to call me that.” “Ugh, will you just shut up?” “Make me!” Scootaloo sighed, remembering the three steps as best she could before simply turning and taking the chips in her mouth. “Don’t ignore me!” Scootaloo shook her head and started towards her room, only to get cut off at the stairs by the apparently very persistent Diamond Tiara. “Gt fta m way.” “No! We are not done talking about this. This is a big deal, okay?” Scootaloo groaned. “Nn ts nt! Jst lt me by.” Diamond glared and swatted the chips out of Scootaloo’s mouth. “Put that down and talk!” “The hay, DT? What’s so freaking important?” “If we are going to be rooming together soon, we have to work out who is allowed where.” “Uh, no, we don’t, now stop being a little bitch and try to have some fun for once, will ya?” “What did you just call me?!” “Ugh! Never mind.” Scootaloo went, picked up the chips once more, and nudged Diamond Tiara to the side before once more heading to her room. Unfortunately, Scootaloo only managed to reach just short of the door before Diamond once more blocked her way. Fed up, Scootaloo dropped the bag to the side. “Will you just chill out? Dear Celestia, what do you want?” “I want to make sure this crap with our parents doesn’t make my life miserable.” “What do you think I’m trying to do? You just won’t let up!” Inside Scootaloo’s room, Apple Bloom, Silver Spoon, and Sweetie Belle sighed as they heard the arguing through the door. “Either o’ y’all think we should maybe do somethin’?” “They’re step-sisters now, remember? If we stop them now, it’ll just get worse.” “Yeah, they should probably just work it out themselves. They’re gonna have to later.” “Yeah, ah s’pose yer right. Anyways, ah got winner o’ this un.” “Normally I’d say it will obviously be me, but Sweetie Belle is pretty good,” “Thanks, Silver! I love playing checkers. You’re pretty good, too.” Silver Spoon smiled and giggled. “Yeah, I guess. Thanks.” “I’m getting about sick of this, DT.” “What are you going to do? Kick me? Bite me?” “I’m not gonna hit you! Just shut up for a minute and ease off!” “Make! Me!” Scootaloo leaned in, glaring at Diamond Tiara. “You say that one more time, DT. One more time and─” “And what?” “And I bucking will!” Diamond Tiara leaned in, practically pressing the end of her muzzle to Scootaloo’s. “Make. M─mmph!” Scootaloo caught Diamond Tiara mid-word with a kiss, one she held for three seconds more before pulling away from the stunned and now silent filly. With a quick nod to herself, Scootaloo picked up the chips and walked around Diamond to see the door open and the others staring at her. Scootaloo smiled and waved before casually trotting into her room and setting down the bag. “So, anyways, who wants chips?” Author's Note As I said, something silly, as well as my first and only story rated Everyone. I hope you guys enjoy! Not Even SunsetAuthor's Note Absolutely no one asked for this to continue. Good thing I'm stubborn and motivated, otherwise this thing would have actually stayed at Complete, and you all would be wondering what more could have been done. Again, good thing I'm stubborn. On an unrelated note, I did notice comments. I hope this satisfies some things. I'm not sure, you all know I never write sober. Not Even Sunset “What was that?” demanded Diamond Tiara. Scootaloo shrugged. “It’s called a kiss, and no you can’t have another.” “Why did you bucking kiss me?” “It shut you up for a good ten minutes. Definitely worth whatever venom you spewed during it. Besides, it’s just a kiss. Mom used to use them to make that one gray mare be quiet when she ranted.” “How could Daddy be with somepony so unprofessional?” “Maybe he needs somepony to loosen him up.” Scootaloo turned her attention to her JoyBoy as she leveled up in Tetris. Diamond Tiara started to respond but settled for crossing her hooves and lying down with a huff. Sweetie Belle giggled and clapped her hooves together “Yes! I win again!” “Consarnit! How th’ hay do ya keep doin’ that?” Silver Spoon sighed. “Isn’t that five against each of us?” “Yup” “Well, you two could play each other if you want. I’m getting a bit tired of checkers.” Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon looked to each other and sighed. “At least one of us would get to win tonight.” “Okay, let’s set it back up.” Sweetie Belle smiled and walked over to Scootaloo while Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon set up the next game. “What are you playing, Scoots?” “Annoy Diamond Tiara, of course.” “Nah, I’m playing Tetris, I like an actual challenge… and I lost. Ah well, I still managed a new personal best, so I’m happy.” Scootaloo stood and stretched a bit before looking around, taking note of the apparently very intense game of checkers and the light pink pony staring daggers at her still. “So, what are we gonna do? We can’t just spend all night playing checkers and sitting around.” “I dunno, this is our first sleep over with no crusading. DT, what do you and Silver usually do?” “We talk about important things, like our strategies for running the family business, who would be the best to keep good relations with-” “And colts?” Sweetie Belle giggled. “Scoots, there aren’t many colts to talk about. They would have to get bored of it eventually.” “First, no, we do not waste our time talking about colts. We’re more mature than that.” Scootaloo smirked. “Says the filly who freaked over her first kiss less than a half an hour ago?” “Wh-what?!” Scootaloo shrugged. “Hey, no big deal. Like I said, a kiss is a kiss, nothing big. Just because you’re not as awesome as I am at it--” “Are you saying I’m a bad kisser?” “No, no, no. Not at all, sis. Not everypony can be as good as I am.” “Ha! So you’re just saying you’re better, then?” “Yeah, sounds about right.” “Oh, I beg to differ.” Scootaloo smirked, taking a moment to look around and notice that, once more, she and Diamond had managed to become the center of attention; she was starting to see the fun in it. She turned back to Diamond, a challenging smile plastered on her face. “Prove. It.” Diamond simply stood and stared at her step-sister, whose smile seemed to get bigger by the second. “See? You’re not brave en--” Scootaloo’s eyes went wide as she was nearly tackled to the ground, though the thing to keep her from yelling out were the now faintly familiar lips pressed against hers. The room was silent for a moment as Scootaloo took in what had just happened. After the moment passed, she reached her forelegs around Diamond Tiara’s neck and fell with her, both of them ending up on their sides as Scootaloo closed her eyes and returned the kiss. The kiss ended within a few minutes, though all five fillies felt as though hours could have easily passed them by before Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara pulled away, panting lightly. “I stand corrected. You’re not half-bad.” “I told you.” Apple Bloom whistled. “Well, ah gotta admit, fer hatin’ each other at the start o’ this, yer sure gettin’ along well, now. Maybe a bit too well, ‘specially fer sisters.” Scootaloo blushed a bit and stood up, brushing herself off. “So, anypony want something to drink?” Silver Spoon and Apple Bloom shrug and turn back to their game, still only about five moves in.Diamond Tiara quickly got to her hooves herself. “I’ll help you bring them up.” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked at Diamond with an eyebrow raise, but Sweetie soon shrugged it off and turned back to watch the others continue their game. Scootaloo shrugged and started towards the kitchen again, Diamond Tiara close behind. “Y’all think they’re gonna kiss again?” “Definitely” “Mhmm” “Ya think this is gonna be a thing fer ‘em now?” “Not sure what I think, or what I think about it.” “I think they looked kinda cute laying with each other.” Silver Spoon sighed. “It’s ‘lying’, Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie Belle cocked her head. “What do you mean? What were they lying about.” “No, I mean lying as in lying down. Laying is what you do to something, lying is something you do yourself.” “I don’t get it.” “Okay, so, you lie down, and you lay something down. It’s more about what’s receiving the…” “So…” “We’re not talking about that.” “That’s a bit of a change of pace for you.” “You mind telling me what that pace has been lately?” “Besides driving me to shut you up?” “I never made you.” “You dared me.” “I didn’t think you’d freaking kiss me!” “Duh. That’s the point.” The two reached the kitchen, Scootaloo reaching onto the counter and settling a saddlebag over her back. “Okay, that may have been clever.” “What I’d like to know is why you kissed me.” Scootaloo walked to the cupboard and began shuffling through the drinks. “Ya know, not that I mind. It’s not like it meant anything.” Diamond Tiara brush a hoof on the floor, her cheeks barely brighter than the rest of her. “You challenged me. What did you expect?” Scootaloo dropped a drink into the bag and shrugged. “Honestly? I expected you to huff up and try to get me to drop it.” “Well, I didn’t.” “Oh, trust me, sis, I noticed.” “Will you stop calling me that?” “Why? We are technically sisters, now. It’s not just soon-to-be anymore. Your dad and my mom are married now.” “We are step-sisters, and even they don’t just start kissing each other!” Scootaloo turned with a smirk, having now filled the bags with plenty of soda for a few hours at least. She walked up to Diamond, giving her a short peck on the muzzle. “How do you know that?” Diamond Tiara stood for a moment and blinked before shaking her head and turning to follow Scootaloo. “They don’t!” “I’m just asking how you know.” “Because that would be weird.” “Would it really have been any less weird if we weren’t step-sisters?” “... Maybe. I don’t know.” Scootaloo stopped a short ways after reaching the top of the stairs. “Have you really ever just done something for the sake of doing it? You know, just to be silly or have fun? Maybe just to see if you really know yourself as well as you think you do?” “Of course not. Why would I just do something stupid for no good reason?” “Well, if you know the odds of things just not going badly are on your side, then why not?” “Well, isn’t that what you three tried for a few years looking for your cutie marks?” Scootaloo turned, forehoof raised and mouth open to respond, only to pause and groan. “Okay, points to you for that one, but along the way we learned a lot.” “Like how hard and how many times you can hit the ground without breaking something?” Scootaloo scowled at the now smirking Diamond Tiara. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” Diamond leaned in, briefly pressing her lips to Scootaloo’s before trotting into the room, a bounce in her step as she spoke with a slight sing-song tone to her voice. “We have drinks~” Scootaloo blinked a few times, her cheeks bright red. She groaned and started back towards her room. “This is going to be a long night. If only mom didn’t count her rum…” The Sweet ChapterSweetie Belle nudged Scootaloo as Silver Spoon finished moving her piece. “Come on, just say it.” “Ugh! No. We’ve been over this. Me and Diamond don’t like each other.” Diamond Tiara cleared her throat. “Diamond and I.” “See? She’s freakin’ conceited! Gotta have her name in front of everything.” Silver Spoon giggled as Apple Bloom pressed the dice popper. “Actually, it’s correct. Just like if she’d answered, she would have said Scootaloo and I.” Apple Bloom shook her head as she moved her piece. “At least Scoots has plenty o’ games. Not too terrible excitin’, but it’s better’n nothin’.” Scootaloo face-hoofed. “Look, bottom line, it was just a freaking kiss.” “Two, actually,” Sweetie Belle corrected with a wide grin. “Bite me.” Silver Spoon chuckled. “You heard her, Diamond.” Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara glared at Silver Spoon. “Not. Happening.” Sweetie Belle took her turn, giggling as the dice popped around their plastic bubble. “You two really would be kinda cute together. Another shared glare and response from the step-sisters. “I don’t even like fillies like that!” “Y’all sure coulda fooled us.” Scootaloo and Diamond buried their faces in their hooves, though only Scootaloo responded. “You aren’t gonna drop this are you?” Sweetie leaned over, nuzzling Scootaloo. “We will, as soon as you two admit it was more than a kiss.” Scootaloo groaned. “What do I have to do to convince you guys it didn’t matter? Do I have to kiss each of you?” Sweetie Belle clapped her hooves. “Ooh! Me first! Me first!” Without another word of warning, Sweetie Belle grabbed Scootaloo with her forelegs and kissed her. While this was only barely registered by Silver Spoon and Apple Bloom, who continued with their turns before waiting on Sweetie Belle, Diamond Tiara found herself blushing and mildly irritated at the spectacle. Scootaloo did little to respond at first, but soon resigned and returned the kiss, albeit somewhat lazily. The kiss was short, easily less than a minute, and Sweetie Belle pulled away from it visibly puzzled. “What?” “Not sure. I guess it just seemed like you were more in to it with DT.” Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes. “Yeah, she was pretty into it. I could hardly contain myself,” she said with the sarcasm most ponies had come to expect from her. Sweetie Belle shrugged and took her turn, leaving the situation be. Apple Bloom, however, took the chance to speak up. “Before ya go an’ get any weird ideas, ah don’t want ta kiss ya. Ah believe ya alright.” Scootaloo glanced at Silver Spoon. “No no, I believe you just fine. Just two kisses, out of the blue, neither of which meant anything whatsoever.” Scootaloo sighed in relief and looked over to Diamond Tiara, mouthing her words. “Why’d you cover for me?” Diamond Tiara just shrugged and shook her head. Scootaloo sighed and reached for a soda. Unfortunately, it had apparently been shaken beforehand, as the moment she opened it, it spewed like a small fountain with plenty of the flying beverage finding its way to Diamond Tiara. “What the heck? What was that for?” “I didn’t mean to! I got covered too, ya know?” “Ugh! Whatever, I’m cleaning up.” Scootaloo groaned and grabbed an old blanket of hers to clean up the spill. She then draped said blanket over her back and left behind Diamond Tiara, leaving the other three alone. Sweetie Belle sighed, resting her head on her hoof as she pressed the popper, much less enthusiastic about the dice now, something that quickly caught Apple Bloom’s attention. “Somethin’ wrong, Sweetie?” “I don’t know. I guess I just expected something different.” Silver Spoon cocked her head. “Different meaning?” “Well, I mean, I always kinda thought Scootaloo liked me. Now it really doesn’t seem like it, you know?” Silver Spoon and Apple Bloom looked to one another, eyes wide, completely unnoticed by Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom cleared her throat after a moment. “Uh, why ain’t ya never said nothing ‘bout it?” “Seeing as that was technically a triple negative, I won’t say anything about it, but she’s right. You need to talk about things like that.” “Ya said somethin jes then, though.” “Yes, I did, but only that, technically, it was grammatically correct in getting across the desired point.” “Still said somethin’.” Sweetie Belle sighed as she moved her piece along the board. “I don’t know. They really are cute together, you know? I mean, yeah, you and Diamond picked on us for a while and pretty much seemed to hate us, but when she isn’t trying to be mean, she and Scoots just seem really sweet together.” Silver Spoon frowned, looking down at the board and limply pressing on the popper just enough to make it roll. “Yeah, sorry about all that, by the way.” Sweetie Belle shrugged. “I mean, I meant it when I said they looked cute together, but I’m really sure they like each other, now.” “An’ why’s that?” “You can tell when somepony is kissing lazy, AB. I can tell. She wasn’t lazy when she kissed Diamond. I’m as sure of it as I am that I don’t wanna break a Pinkie Promise.” Apple Bloom offered a smile and wrapped a foreleg around Sweetie Belle. “Well, if it helps any, ah think yer downright adorable.” Silver Spoon rolled her eyes, smiling, before scooting closer and half-hugging Sweetie from the other side. “Yeah, you are pretty cute, especially when you squeak.” Sweetie Belle’s cheeks lit up. “I do not squeak… much.” Both fillies beside her shook their heads and leaned in, nuzzling Sweetie Belle until… “I’m not sure what we missed, but if it’s as mushy as it looks, I don’t wanna find out.” The small group looked over to see Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara just inside the room, Diamond Tiara’s mane hanging freely, completely unstyled with her tiara missing. “Ah’m not quite sure what we missed either, how long was you two gone?” Scootaloo looked to Diamond, who shrugged. “Not sure, had ta be at least and hour, though.” Apple Bloom blinked. “Ah don’t even wanna know.” “Good, then we’re agreed. This past hour never happened.” Every pony in the room gave a nod. Sweetie Belle broke the following silence by popping the dice and giggling. Author's Note So.... not sure if tag change is needed... Help with that bit, please?
Shushing a SisterApple Bloom groaned as she and her friends steadily made their way to Scootaloo’s house. “Yer mom can’t be serious, Scoots. Ain’t no way she’s really gonna put us through that.” Scootaloo sighed, not wanting this any more than her friends. “Look, I get it, okay? First time you guys get to stay over, and they have to join in too." “But why? I don’t want to have a sleepover with them. I want to sleep over with you two.” Sweetie Belle frowned as she followed behind her friends. “Look, can we just please not talk about it for now? I’d kinda like to imagine I won’t be stuck with them all night for as long as I can," remarked a notably grouchy Scootaloo.

The other fillies in the room simply stared for a moment as the well-known DJ sized up the group. “So, I’m just gonna take a shot in the dark here and assume you two are the Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon I’ve heard so much about?” The two fillies in question nodded, but gave no other response.

You’re pretty good, too.” Silver Spoon smiled and giggled. “Yeah, I guess. Thanks.” “I’m getting about sick of this, DT.” “What are you going to do? Kick me? Bite me?” “I’m not gonna hit you! Just shut up for a minute and ease off!” “Make! Me!” Scootaloo leaned in, glaring at Diamond Tiara. “You say that one more time, DT. One more time and─” “And what?” “And I bucking will!” Diamond Tiara leaned in, practically pressing the end of her muzzle to Scootaloo’s. “Make. M─mmph!” Scootaloo caught Diamond Tiara mid-word with a kiss, one she held for three seconds more before pulling away from the stunned and now silent filly. With a quick nod to herself, Scootaloo picked up the chips and walked around Diamond to see the door open and the others staring at her. Scootaloo smiled and waved before casually trotting into her room and setting down the bag. “So, anyways, who wants chips?” Author's Note As I said, something silly, as well as my first and only story rated Everyone. I hope you guys enjoy!
Not Even SunsetAuthor's Note Absolutely no one asked for this to continue. Good thing I'm stubborn and motivated, otherwise this thing would have actually stayed at Complete, and you all would be wondering what more could have been done. Again, good thing I'm stubborn. On an unrelated note, I did notice comments. I hope this satisfies some things. I'm not sure, you all know I never write sober. Not Even Sunset “What was that?” demanded Diamond Tiara. Scootaloo shrugged. “It’s called a kiss, and no you can’t have another.” “Why did you bucking kiss me?” “It shut you up for a good ten minutes. Definitely worth whatever venom you spewed during it. Besides, it’s just a kiss. Mom used to use them to make that one gray mare be quiet when she ranted.” “How could Daddy be with somepony so unprofessional?” “Maybe he needs somepony to loosen him up.” Scootaloo turned her attention to her JoyBoy as she leveled up in Tetris. Diamond Tiara started to respond but settled for crossing her hooves and lying down with a huff. Sweetie Belle giggled and clapped her hooves together “Yes! I win again!” “Consarnit! How th’ hay do ya keep doin’ that?” Silver Spoon sighed. “Isn’t that five against each of us?” “Yup” “Well, you two could play each other if you want. I’m getting a bit tired of checkers.” Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon looked to each other and sighed. “At least one of us would get to win tonight.” “Okay, let’s set it back up.” Sweetie Belle smiled and walked over to Scootaloo while Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon set up the next game. “What are you playing, Scoots?” “Annoy Diamond Tiara, of course.” “Nah, I’m playing Tetris, I like an actual challenge… and I lost. Ah well, I still managed a new personal best, so I’m happy.” Scootaloo stood and stretched a bit before looking around, taking note of the apparently very intense game of checkers and the light pink pony staring daggers at her still. “So, what are we gonna do? We can’t just spend all night playing checkers and sitting around.” “I dunno, this is our first sleep over with no crusading. DT, what do you and Silver usually do?” “We talk about important things, like our strategies for running the family business, who would be the best to keep good relations with-” “And colts?” Sweetie Belle giggled. “Scoots, there aren’t many colts to talk about. They would have to get bored of it eventually.” “First, no, we do not waste our time talking about colts. We’re more mature than that.” Scootaloo smirked. “Says the filly who freaked over her first kiss less than a half an hour ago?” “Wh-what?!” Scootaloo shrugged. “Hey, no big deal. Like I said, a kiss is a kiss, nothing big. Just because you’re not as awesome as I am at it--” “Are you saying I’m a bad kisser?” “No, no, no. Not at all, sis. Not everypony can be as good as I am.” “Ha! So you’re just saying you’re better, then?” “Yeah, sounds about right.” “Oh, I beg to differ.” Scootaloo smirked, taking a moment to look around and notice that, once more, she and Diamond had managed to become the center of attention; she was starting to see the fun in it. She turned back to Diamond, a challenging smile plastered on her face. “Prove. It.” Diamond simply stood and stared at her step-sister, whose smile seemed to get bigger by the second. “See? You’re not brave en--” Scootaloo’s eyes went wide as she was nearly tackled to the ground, though the thing to keep her from yelling out were the now faintly familiar lips pressed against hers. The room was silent for a moment as Scootaloo took in what had just happened. After the moment passed, she reached her forelegs around Diamond Tiara’s neck and fell with her, both of them ending up on their sides as Scootaloo closed her eyes and returned the kiss. The kiss ended within a few minutes, though all five fillies felt as though hours could have easily passed them by before Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara pulled away, panting lightly. “I stand corrected. You’re not half-bad.” “I told you.” Apple Bloom whistled. “Well, ah gotta admit, fer hatin’ each other at the start o’ this, yer sure gettin’ along well, now. Maybe a bit too well, ‘specially fer sisters.” Scootaloo blushed a bit and stood up, brushing herself off. “So, anypony want something to drink?” Silver Spoon and Apple Bloom shrug and turn back to their game, still only about five moves in.Diamond Tiara quickly got to her hooves herself. “I’ll help you bring them up.” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked at Diamond with an eyebrow raise, but Sweetie soon shrugged it off and turned back to watch the others continue their game. Scootaloo shrugged and started towards the kitchen again, Diamond Tiara close behind. “Y’all think they’re gonna kiss again?” “Definitely” “Mhmm” “Ya think this is gonna be a thing fer ‘em now?” “Not sure what I think, or what I think about it.” “I think they looked kinda cute laying with each other.” Silver Spoon sighed. “It’s ‘lying’, Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie Belle cocked her head. “What do you mean? What were they lying about.” “No, I mean lying as in lying down. Laying is what you do to something, lying is something you do yourself.” “I don’t get it.” “Okay, so, you lie down, and you lay something down. It’s more about what’s receiving the…” “So…” “We’re not talking about that.” “That’s a bit of a change of pace for you.” “You mind telling me what that pace has been lately?” “Besides driving me to shut you up?” “I never made you.” “You dared me.” “I didn’t think you’d freaking kiss me!” “Duh. That’s the point.” The two reached the kitchen, Scootaloo reaching onto the counter and settling a saddlebag over her back. “Okay, that may have been clever.” “What I’d like to know is why you kissed me.” Scootaloo walked to the cupboard and began shuffling through the drinks. “Ya know, not that I mind. It’s not like it meant anything.” Diamond Tiara brush a hoof on the floor, her cheeks barely brighter than the rest of her. “You challenged me. What did you expect?” Scootaloo dropped a drink into the bag and shrugged. “Honestly? I expected you to huff up and try to get me to drop it.” “Well, I didn’t.” “Oh, trust me, sis, I noticed.” “Will you stop calling me that?” “Why? We are technically sisters, now. It’s not just soon-to-be anymore. Your dad and my mom are married now.” “We are step-sisters, and even they don’t just start kissing each other!” Scootaloo turned with a smirk, having now filled the bags with plenty of soda for a few hours at least. She walked up to Diamond, giving her a short peck on the muzzle. “How do you know that?” Diamond Tiara stood for a moment and blinked before shaking her head and turning to follow Scootaloo. “They don’t!” “I’m just asking how you know.” “Because that would be weird.” “Would it really have been any less weird if we weren’t step-sisters?” “... Maybe. I don’t know.” Scootaloo stopped a short ways after reaching the top of the stairs. “Have you really ever just done something for the sake of doing it? You know, just to be silly or have fun? Maybe just to see if you really know yourself as well as you think you do?” “Of course not. Why would I just do something stupid for no good reason?” “Well, if you know the odds of things just not going badly are on your side, then why not?” “Well, isn’t that what you three tried for a few years looking for your cutie marks?” Scootaloo turned, forehoof raised and mouth open to respond, only to pause and groan. “Okay, points to you for that one, but along the way we learned a lot.” “Like how hard and how many times you can hit the ground without breaking something?” Scootaloo scowled at the now smirking Diamond Tiara. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” Diamond leaned in, briefly pressing her lips to Scootaloo’s before trotting into the room, a bounce in her step as she spoke with a slight sing-song tone to her voice. “We have drinks~” Scootaloo blinked a few times, her cheeks bright red. She groaned and started back towards her room. “This is going to be a long night. If only mom didn’t count her rum…”
The Sweet ChapterSweetie Belle nudged Scootaloo as Silver Spoon finished moving her piece. “Come on, just say it.” “Ugh! No. We’ve been over this. Me and Diamond don’t like each other.” Diamond Tiara cleared her throat. “Diamond and I.” “See? She’s freakin’ conceited! Gotta have her name in front of everything.” Silver Spoon giggled as Apple Bloom pressed the dice popper. “Actually, it’s correct. Just like if she’d answered, she would have said Scootaloo and I.” Apple Bloom shook her head as she moved her piece. “At least Scoots has plenty o’ games. Not too terrible excitin’, but it’s better’n nothin’.” Scootaloo face-hoofed. “Look, bottom line, it was just a freaking kiss.” “Two, actually,” Sweetie Belle corrected with a wide grin. “Bite me.” Silver Spoon chuckled. “You heard her, Diamond.” Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara glared at Silver Spoon. “Not. Happening.” Sweetie Belle took her turn, giggling as the dice popped around their plastic bubble. “You two really would be kinda cute together. Another shared glare and response from the step-sisters. “I don’t even like fillies like that!” “Y’all sure coulda fooled us.” Scootaloo and Diamond buried their faces in their hooves, though only Scootaloo responded. “You aren’t gonna drop this are you?” Sweetie leaned over, nuzzling Scootaloo. “We will, as soon as you two admit it was more than a kiss.” Scootaloo groaned. “What do I have to do to convince you guys it didn’t matter? Do I have to kiss each of you?” Sweetie Belle clapped her hooves. “Ooh! Me first! Me first!” Without another word of warning, Sweetie Belle grabbed Scootaloo with her forelegs and kissed her. While this was only barely registered by Silver Spoon and Apple Bloom, who continued with their turns before waiting on Sweetie Belle, Diamond Tiara found herself blushing and mildly irritated at the spectacle. Scootaloo did little to respond at first, but soon resigned and returned the kiss, albeit somewhat lazily. The kiss was short, easily less than a minute, and Sweetie Belle pulled away from it visibly puzzled. “What?” “Not sure. I guess it just seemed like you were more in to it with DT.” Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes. “Yeah, she was pretty into it. I could hardly contain myself,” she said with the sarcasm most ponies had come to expect from her. Sweetie Belle shrugged and took her turn, leaving the situation be. Apple Bloom, however, took the chance to speak up. “Before ya go an’ get any weird ideas, ah don’t want ta kiss ya. Ah believe ya alright.” Scootaloo glanced at Silver Spoon. “No no, I believe you just fine. Just two kisses, out of the blue, neither of which meant anything whatsoever.” Scootaloo sighed in relief and looked over to Diamond Tiara, mouthing her words. “Why’d you cover for me?” Diamond Tiara just shrugged and shook her head. Scootaloo sighed and reached for a soda. Unfortunately, it had apparently been shaken beforehand, as the moment she opened it, it spewed like a small fountain with plenty of the flying beverage finding its way to Diamond Tiara. “What the heck? What was that for?” “I didn’t mean to! I got covered too, ya know?” “Ugh! Whatever, I’m cleaning up.” Scootaloo groaned and grabbed an old blanket of hers to clean up the spill. She then draped said blanket over her back and left behind Diamond Tiara, leaving the other three alone. Sweetie Belle sighed, resting her head on her hoof as she pressed the popper, much less enthusiastic about the dice now, something that quickly caught Apple Bloom’s attention. “Somethin’ wrong, Sweetie?” “I don’t know. I guess I just expected something different.” Silver Spoon cocked her head. “Different meaning?” “Well, I mean, I always kinda thought Scootaloo liked me. Now it really doesn’t seem like it, you know?” Silver Spoon and Apple Bloom looked to one another, eyes wide, completely unnoticed by Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom cleared her throat after a moment. “Uh, why ain’t ya never said nothing ‘bout it?” “Seeing as that was technically a triple negative, I won’t say anything about it, but she’s right. You need to talk about things like that.” “Ya said somethin jes then, though.” “Yes, I did, but only that, technically, it was grammatically correct in getting across the desired point.” “Still said somethin’.” Sweetie Belle sighed as she moved her piece along the board. “I don’t know. They really are cute together, you know? I mean, yeah, you and Diamond picked on us for a while and pretty much seemed to hate us, but when she isn’t trying to be mean, she and Scoots just seem really sweet together.” Silver Spoon frowned, looking down at the board and limply pressing on the popper just enough to make it roll. “Yeah, sorry about all that, by the way.” Sweetie Belle shrugged. “I mean, I meant it when I said they looked cute together, but I’m really sure they like each other, now.” “An’ why’s that?” “You can tell when somepony is kissing lazy, AB. I can tell. She wasn’t lazy when she kissed Diamond. I’m as sure of it as I am that I don’t wanna break a Pinkie Promise.” Apple Bloom offered a smile and wrapped a foreleg around Sweetie Belle. “Well, if it helps any, ah think yer downright adorable.” Silver Spoon rolled her eyes, smiling, before scooting closer and half-hugging Sweetie from the other side. “Yeah, you are pretty cute, especially when you squeak.” Sweetie Belle’s cheeks lit up. “I do not squeak… much.” Both fillies beside her shook their heads and leaned in, nuzzling Sweetie Belle until… “I’m not sure what we missed, but if it’s as mushy as it looks, I don’t wanna find out.” The small group looked over to see Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara just inside the room, Diamond Tiara’s mane hanging freely, completely unstyled with her tiara missing. “Ah’m not quite sure what we missed either, how long was you two gone?” Scootaloo looked to Diamond, who shrugged. “Not sure, had ta be at least and hour, though.” Apple Bloom blinked. “Ah don’t even wanna know.” “Good, then we’re agreed. This past hour never happened.” Every pony in the room gave a nod. Sweetie Belle broke the following silence by popping the dice and giggling. Author's Note So.... not sure if tag change is needed... Help with that bit, please?
