Chapters For the love of Sweetiemash
It was a Monday morning when Sweetie Belle woke up from her bed, her messy hair all over the place. Her sister'a voice had awaken her, making her very annoyed. She looked at her alarm clock when she noticed it was seven thirty.
"Oh no! I'm gonna be late!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, almost falling off the bed when she ran into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror, seeing a person she did not want to see again. She quickly brushed her hair down into a naturally curly state, and put on a hot pink headband to finish it off. She brushed her teeth and washed the dry drool off of her face, making her white glow shine. She smiled to herself. That's better, she thought to herself.
"Sweetie Belle hurry up! We are going to be late for school!" Her sister, Rarity, exclaimed,
Sweetie belle rushed back into her room. Good thing I took a shower last night, she thought. The went into her closet and pulled out the same thing she wore yesterday, only with blue jeans instead of a skirt. The jeans fit perfectly, showing the growing curves of her body, even though she was only fourteen years old. She had put on some brown boots over her jeans to complete the outfit, and ran down the stairs to grab a breakfast bar. Her sister counted to five before shutting the door behind her. A few seconds after grabbing her bag, Sweetie belle had done the same thing.
Scootaloo waved at her friend, walking up to her and giving her a hug.
"Sis left you again?" Scootaloo asked, scratching her head.
"Yeah, but it's alright. I woke up too late anyway," Sweetie belle replied, starting to walk to Applebloom's and picking her up.
"Well, at least you didn't have to face Rarity's worth every time you hog the mirror," Scootaloo giggled.
"Oh, and how was your morning?" Sweetie belle said.
"Eh, the same, except for the fact that my mom left the house before I was awake!" Scootaloo yelled softly.
"Oh stop whining," Sweetie belle said.
"Coming from the Queen of Whiners," Scootaloo joked.
"Shut up!" Was what Sweetie Belle could only say before noticing a familiar boy with dark brown skin and tan and orange hair. She instantly melted inside when she ever saw him.
"Here we go again," Scootaloo said rolling her eyes, yet Sweetie Belle didn't hear. In fact, she standing right next to him.
"Hey button mash!" Sweetie Belle shouted, trying to distract him from his game.
"Button Mash?" Sweetie Belle questioned. Neither of her attempts worked. Button Mash was stilled tied to his game.
Sweetie Belle stopped him with her hand in his face, his eyes focusing on whatever game he was playing. She slowly put the game lower so they can meet eye to eye. When Button looked up, all he could see was a. Glowing pair of bright green eyes glaring at him.
"Oh, hi Sweetie," Button said. Sweetie Belle smiled.
"What game is that?" she asked, now by his side, looking at the entertaining game.
"Mario Galaxy 2. Its so annoying. Especially when I lose because of those-" a beeping noise came out of the object,"-STUPID BOMBS!"
"Hmm, can I try?" Sweetir Belle asked.
"Sure, good luck," Buttin Mash said, and he gave his game to Sweetie.
A few minutes later, a yell came out of nowhere. Scootaloo looked back to see a steaming red Sweetie Belle.
"Whats wrong?" Scootaloo asked.
"That stupid litlle mushroom! It keeps hurting me!" she replied loudly.
"Oh those are hard ones. They come out of nowhere," Button said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
She looked at him, but his eyes were glued to the screen.
"Arent you going to press continue?" Button asked, and then looked up to see her staring straight at him.
"Uhh," Button said,"whats wrong?"
Not a word came out of Sweetie Belle. They were just staring at each other. Sweetie Belle started to blush, and so did Button.
"Come on you too, we're almost at Applebloom's house," Scootaloo said, pulling her away from Button Mash.
"Okay!" Sweetie belle said excitedly. She placed an arm around both Scootaloo and Button Mash as they trailed off to Applebloom's house. Button Mash asked for his game and went right back to playing his game. But there was another feeling inside if him that he couldn't explain.

All four young teens were finally at the school. Sweetie belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo went to their lockers and got what they needed, Button Mash on the other side.
"What do you think Miss Cherilee is gonna do this time to corrupt our minds? Come in drunk...again?" Scootaloo asked, getting her books for the morning.
"Ah honestly don't care," Applebloom said, doing the same.
"We seriously need another teacher. If I have to sit through one more lecture about "how important it is to keep your grades up," I'm gonna lose it!" Sweetie belle exclaimed.
"Calm down sweets, it's not like we don't need that lecture," Scootaloo said, walking down the hallway.
Just then, Principal Celestia's voice boomed from the hallway speakers.
"Hello students of Canterlot High! Please remember to meet in the auditorium at 1:00 for our plans of the New Years Bash. Remember it is in two weeks, so pick your partner fast!" Celestia said, and the intercom came off.
Who am I going to ask, Button thought. Then he glanced at a sad Flash Sentry, for everyone knew that he had this think for this girl from an alternate universe, whatever that meant. His eyes suddenly landed on Sweetie Belle.
No, Button said. She probably already has a partner. I mean, she's pretty. Who wouldn't want to ask her out.
Oh right, me, Button thought.
-----------------—----------——
"Tank you, everyone, for coming," Principal Celestia said, Vice Principal Luna beside her. The auditorium was buzzing with students talking about the upcoming dance.
"So who are you going with, Scootaloo?" Apple bloom asked.
"I'm not going to the dance. Too much work," Scootaloo replied, "I already know who Sweetie belle's going out with," her finger pointed to the brown boy that was sitting between Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, not paying attention to the conversation the three girls were having.
"Oh be quiet, Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed," I know exactly who you like! Don't want me to say in front of him," Sweetie belle said, pointing to a gray skinned boy with black hair.
"Shut up!" Scootaloo said before the whole room became quiet.
"Now that we have enough money to have an additional event, I wish to all that you take advantage of it. The clock is ticking, and the year is almost over with. This will be our last dance before the theSpring Formal and graduation party, which can only be celebrated by our graduates. So remember, make the most of this dance, and have fun!"
As Celestia went on about who would be in charge of supervising, chaperones, and more, Button Mash was still thinking about who to ask to thedance.
"I honestly don't know who else to ask," Button said under his breath," these are the only girls I truly know."
Mean while, Sweetie Belle was saddened because Button hasn't asked her to the dance yet. I wore these pants for a reason, Sweetie Belle thought, putting her hands on her lap.
Maybe he doesn't like me.
After the meeting ended, all of the students grabbed their books and hurried to their next class. As Sweetie Belle grabbed her own, her pencil case dropped. "Rats," she said under her breath, and bent over to pick it up.
All Button Mash could see is what he wished he unsee what he saw. A bright shade of red immediately flushed his natural color out of his cheeks. When Sweetie belle finally had risen up, all the saw was that shade of red.
"What?" She asked, confused. She finally added everything up, and she immediately gasped, the same kind of expression as Button's immediately taking over her face.
"I'm so sorry!" Sweetie Belle apologized. She turned back around and walked fast back into the hallways, looking down.
"That. Was. Dreadful." Applebloom said, shaking her head.
"That was so embarrassing! Why didn't anyone tell me?" Sweetie Belle shouted, getting a bit angry.
"Too late?" Scootaloo responded in a form of a question.
Sometimes I wonder if they're here to tease me, Sweetie Belle thought.
For the love of Sweetiemash
Sweetie Belle was finally in English class. She was still thinking about her latest encounter with Button Mash.
So embarrassing, she thought looking over at Button Mash. He was paying all his attention to te teacher, Ms. Blossomforth, trying his best not to look at her direction.
A sigh came out of her mouth as the teacher asked for last night's homework. She took hers out, completing the rest of her paragraph before the teacher walked per to her desk. She finished two seconds before the teacher came over to collect it. Sweetie Belle put her elbow on her desk, still thinking about what happened at the auditorium.
"Okay class, take out your literature books," Ms. Blossomforth said, "and turn to page 85. Today, we are going to create poems!"
The class groaned in unison.
This is gonna be a long day, Sweetie Belle thought.
Classes have passed, and it was finally time to go. Sweetie Belle ran out of her next class and towards her locker. She grabbed the books that she needed for homework and stuffed it into her bag. When she lifted it, it felt heavy.
Teachers, she sighed.
"Hey Sweetie Belle, still haven't found your special style yet?" A person said.
Just what I needed.
"Can you make it quick guys? I'm in a hurry," Sweetie Belle said, looking at the two people that annoyed her most.
"I just wanted to say that you're pretty brave showing your face here, I mean without your special style, and all," Diamond Tiara giggled.
"Yeah, what are you losers going to do this time? Jump off a plane? I hope you fall and hit your face!" By now both of the girls were laughing. Sweetie Belle just rolled her eyes.
"Are you guys done now?" Sweetie Belle asked, annoyed.
"I'll bet she won't get her special style by the time she reaches Granny Smith's age," Silver Spoon said, making Diamond Tiara laugh even harder.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" A voice said. All three of the girls expected Applebloom and Scootaloo, but instead, it was a dark brown boy.
"Oh look Silver Spoon! If it isn't the loser's boyfriend?" Diamond Tiara said.
Sweetie Belle started to get angry then. "Shut up!" She screamed. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon knew they had broke her.
"SWEETIE AND BUTTON SITTIN INA TREE, K-I-S-S—" the girls stopped when they noticed another figure behind Sweetie Belle.
"Go. Now." The voice said. The two immediately stammered off into the other side of the hallway.
"Thanks sis," Sweetie Belle said, turning around to face her big sister Rarity.
"Oh that was no problem. Those two are in desperate need of a better act. I swear they are just spoiled brats," Rarity said crossing her arms,"now if you'll excuse me I have to reject more boys for the New Year's Bash until I find the perfect date."
Rarity walked off, leaving Button Mash and Sweetie Belle standing there.
"So..uh," Button stammered.
"Yeah.." Sweetie Belle nervously said," thanks for standing up for me.. I guess."
"I could've handled them! If only your sister wasn't there.." He trailed off.
Sweetie Belle put a small smile on her face."At least you tried."
Apple bloom and Scootaloo walked up to them with smiles on their faces.
"You heard the whole thing, didn't you?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Nooooo.." They said in unison.
All four were at Sweetie Belle's house, jotting down ideas for their next quest. As three of them were thinking, one was playing a game of Mariokart on his joyboy. Scootaloo rolled her eyes and took the controller away from him.
"Scootaloo! I was just about to beat bowser in his own castle! I was right there and now I lost to that little..big turtle!" Button Mash yelled.
"You can et it back once we're done jotting down ideas," Applebloom said.
Button Mash crossed his arms."......fine."
Now that he joined the group, more ideas were being jotted down by Sweetie Belle.
"Okay guys,"she said," I think we should either do part-time jobs in one day, or cave exploring, which is pretty hard to find."
"I pick cave exploring!" Scootaloo said loudly.
"Ah think we should do some thin' easy for a change, and part-time jobs sound good to me," Applebloom said.
"Well, I think we should go cave exploring. Sounds like a game I've been playing on one of my game consoles," Button Mash said, trying to reach for his joyboy, but Scootaloo kept smacking his hand down form the table.
"Well, part-time jobs do sound boring," Sweetie Belle said.
"Then why did ya suggest it?" Apple bloom asked.
"Just wanted to see who would agree," Sweetie Belle replied. Applebloom just rolled her eyes.
"Then it's settled," Scootaloo said. All four raised their hands in the air, connecting them to one another.
Special Mark Crusaders Cave Explorers! Yay!"

"You sure you wanna do this, Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle asked, unsure about what they're about to do.
"Ahm sure Sweetie. We're gonna show Diamond Tiara we're amazin!" Apple bloom shouted, her voice being echoed in the cave.
"Shouldn't we start at the mall? I mean, that's where we get out clothes," Button Mash said, still mad that Scootaloo has his game. His arms were crossed as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Well, let's do it!" Scootaloo said excitedly.
"Everybody got their flashlights?" Applebloom asked.
"Yup!" Everyone responded.
"Then let's do this!"
Everyone ran inside of the cave with flashlights turned on.
"So, what is inside the cave?" Sweetie belle asked.
"Well, legend has it, the famous cave monster is in these very caverns. Oooohhh," Applebloom cooed at her.
"I think we should go back," Sweetie Belle said, turning herself back to the entrance of the cave.
"No! Sweetie Belle! Ya can't-" Applebloom started, but Scootaloo slapped her hand onto her mouth.
"Ssh! Be quiet!" She whispered.
"We gotta get Sweetie back! She can't go back alone. We're already far gone as it is!" Apple bloom whispered back.
"I'll go get her!" Button Mash volunteered, returning to the same route as Sweetie Belle.
"Well hurry up Button. We gotta keep going or the monster will hear us!" Apple bloom said, but Button Mash was already gone.
"Isn't that sweet?" Scootaloo cooed.
"Oh shut up Scootaloo," Applebloom, said, rolling her eyes.
"SWEETIE BELLE!" Button Mash called out, hoping for an answer. Sadly, there wasn't one. He searched thought the caverns, his flashlight the only light that shows the way. He then found a pink jacket that looked exactly like Sweetie's, which made him think of the worst.
"SWEETIE BELLE?!" Button cried, but still no results.
"Oh please don't be dead," he whispered. A scream was made in the proximity of him.
"I'M COMING SWEETIE!" Button exclaimed, running as fast as he could. The next thing he knew, he fell down to the ground, something holding him tight.
"Oh thank god you came! I didn't know what to do! My flashlight ran out of batteries and-" Sweetie Belle stopped herself, seeing the position she was in. "Are you okay?"
"Uh, yeah," Button replied, not being able to sit up without kissing a certain person.
"Oh..sorry," Sweetie said, rising up so Button can do the same. After they rid themselves of the dirt, Sweetie Belle pulled Button into a hug.
"Er.." Button said, blushing,"Sweetie?"
"Thanks for coming after me. That's really sweet of you," she said.
"It was nothing really. Can I, um, pick up my flashlight now?" Button said.
"Oh of course," Sweetie replied, slowly letting go.
When Button picked his flashlight back up, they both tried their best to leave the cave, but they couldn't. They didn't know which way to go, and they were far away from their other friends. They resorted to just stopping and taking a snack break.
"Don't eat too much Button. You don't know how long we're gonna be stuck here," Sweetie advised.
"But I'm SO hungry," Button said, eating the last of his chips. As it started to get cold, Button remembered something.
"Hey, I saw your jacket about an hour ago."
"WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?! It's cold!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, making a crying Button Mash sad.
"Oh I'm sorry Button. I didn't mean to-"
"No,you're right. I should've picked it up."
Button wiped his tears away and looked up at Sweetie. It was getting colder.
"It's a good thing I always keep a sweater in my bag," Sweetie said, pulling a navy blue sweater. She put it on herself, but it wasn't enough.
"We should keep going," Button said," maybe we'll find an exit."
"Okay," Sweetie agreed. They packed their things and slowly walked deeper into the cave, not knowing that there was something else watching them.
"Well, we've waited for them for hours," Scootaloo said, her phone almost dead.
"Stop textin' Rumble. It's not like ya like him. Or do ya?" Applebloom giggled.
"Shut up!" Scootaloo blushed. In secret, she did like him a little bit.
"Well enough about yer crushes. Let's go find 'em."
It must have been hours since they have been in that cave. It was quiet. They both found sweetie's jacket.
"Oh no!" Applebloom shouted, picking up the dark pink jacket.
"You don't think," Scootaloo asked. Suddenly they heard a loud voice.
"Oh thank God you came! I didn't know what to do! My flashlight ran out of batteries and-" the voice stopped.
"That sounds like Sweetie!" Scootaloo said. They both followed the squealing voice. When they found it, they were shocked to see what they saw.
"Isn't that the cutest thing," Applebloom whispered.
"Eww," Scootaloo protested, sticking her tongue out.
"Let's follow them and see where this goes," Applebloom said. scoots agreed, and they started their journey into the cave of young love.

"OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!" Sweetie Belle shouted through the rooftops of the household. Rarity walked down the stairs to see what was wrong.
"Are you okay Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked.
"100 percent okay! Actually, I'm more than okay! I'm great!" She squealed.
"What happened?" The older girl asked.
"He finally asked me to the dance Rarity!" She answered.
"Who?"
"Button!" Sweetie Belle was practically jumping off the walls now.
"Ooh! Tell me all the details!" Rarity was happy that her sister finally had gotten a date to the upcoming dance.
"Well.." She trailed off.
It was the middle of Miss Cheerilee's math class when Button slid a note to Sweetie. It read:
Meet me outside at lunch.
Sweetie Belle looked back at him. He was paying attention to his work, or secretly playing video games. Either way, his head was down. She smiled.
"Sweetie Belle, please turn around," Miss Cheerilee said, and all of her classmates looked at her direction. Some of the classmates were snickering. It was always embarrassing when a teacher called you out.
"Yes Miss Cheerilee," she said, and she put her focus back on her work. But her mind was still on Button. She hadn't told her friends about what happened after they left, so they had no clue why Sweetie Belle was acting so strange. She was never called out. She was the good one. They knew something was going on.
The warning bell rang through the hallways. It warned that classes would be over in five minutes.
"Okay class. Pass your papers up!" Miss Cheerilee said, and all the classmates passed up their papers.
As everyone was waiting for the bell to ring, Miss Cheerilee graded the papers. After she was done, she stood up and said,"I'm very surprised at the progress this class is coming to, seeing as my other classes are not as exceptional. Here are your papers," she passed the papers back to the students.
"A B?! This has never happened!" Sweetie Belle said.
"Seems like little Miss Smarty Pants isn't so smart," Diamond Tiara said, and the whole class snickered.
"Oh yeah? What did you get?" Sweetie said.
"A B as well," Diamond Tiara said. That was a good grade for her, seeing that she wasn't as smart.
"You got the same grade as me!" Sweetie said.
"Girls, there's no need to fight! It's just a-" Just then, the bell rung.
"Class dismissed!" Miss Cheerilee said. All the classmates gathered their things and walked out of the class.
"I hate that Diamond Tiara!" Sweetie yelled.
"It's okay Sweetie Belle. She's just tryin' to get in your head," Applebloom said.
"Yeah! She's just jealous because you're smarter than her," Scootaloo said.
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up girls. I'm just mad that I got a B," Sweetie said.
"Don't make us feel bad Sweets," Applebloom said.
"Oh, right. Sorry," Sweetie said. The girls finally made it to their lockers.
"Let's focus on another thing. Like lunch!" Scootaloo put her books away and ran towards the door to the cafeteria. The doors opened, and she ran right into the person who opened it.
"Maybe next time you should just move out of the way-" Scootaloo looked at the person she ran into. It was Rumble.
"Um you ran into me," he said and stood up, holding a hand out for Scootaloo. She accepted it and stood up herself.
"Yeah, sorry Rumble," she said, slightly blushing.
"It's okay Scoots. Just watch where you're going," he responded. There was an awkward silence between them.
"Well...I should get something to eat now-" she started to walk away.
"Wait!" Rumble shouted. The cafeteria became quiet of the sudden outburst.
"Uh..yeah?" She said nervously.
"You wanna....go to the dance together? As friends, of course," he asked.
"Would I—I mean, sure, whatever," she said, the blush on her face starting to wear off.
"Cool," Rumble said. He walked backwards out the door, and the teens kept talking, Scootaloo slightly embarrassed of the attention.
"That was adorable!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
"Guys," Scootaloo said, rolling her purple eyes.
"Aww! So cute! You're goin' to the dance with your crush!" Applebloom exclaimed.
"Shut up," Scootaloo said,"we're just going as friends."
"Oh come on Scoots. We all know how that ends," Applebloom said.
"Don't even go there, Applebloom," Scootaloo said, starting to get annoyed of her friends.
"What? He obviously likes you," Applebloom said.
"Guys, I gotta go somewhere. I'll see you guys later," Sweetie Belle said, remembering the note.
"Okay! Bye!" Applebloom said. Right after she left the cafeteria, Scootaloo saw the look on Applebloom's face.
"We're following her, aren't we?" She asked.
"Ye-up," Applebloom said.
"Ugh, here we go again." Scootaloo groaned.
"Oh stop it! Let's go," Applebloom said, and they walked out of the cafeteria.

Sweetie Belle looked everywhere for Button Mash, but she couldn't find him.
"Button!" She yelled. There was no answer. She yelled his name again.
"BUTTON!"
"Over here!" Button shouted back. Sweetie Belle smiled and walked over to him.
"So why did you want to meet here?" Sweetie asked, looking deep into his amber eyes.
"About that kiss on the che-," he started.
"I thought it was a nice gesture," Sweetie said.
"Really?" Button smiled and Sweetie giggled.
"Yeah," she responded.
"That's a good thing because I thought you didn't like it," Button said.
"Why didn't you think I liked it?" Sweetie asked.
"Because, I just thought...you didn't like me," Button said.
"Of course I like you! You're my friend," she said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Not like that," he said,"like, more."
Sweetie Belle blushed at that comment.
"Y-you mean, like-like you?"
"Well, yeah," Button said, and he blushed as well. Sweetie put her hand back down.
"Button I-" she started.
"No, it's okay. I understand if you don't think the same way," Button said. He walked away from her.
"BUT I DO LIKE YOU!"
Button turned around with a grin on his face. He walked back and squeezed Sweetie Belle tight, her returning the gesture. When they couldn't breathe, they let go of each other and their hands intertwined with one another.
"I do like you Button. I just didn't say anything because, well, you know-"
"Will you go to the dance with me?" Button softly yelled, eyes closed.
Sweetie Belle rose up to her toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I would love to."
She let go of his hands and slowly walked away, waving to him until she disappeared out of his sight. Once she did, he fell to the ground.
"Woah," he whispered.
"Woah is right," a country-sounding voice said.
"That was painful to watch," a girly-scratchy voice said.
Button rose up to his feet and saw his two other friends staring at him.
"I always get nobody in the end!" Apple bloom shouted, crossing her arms and pouting.
"You saw everything?!" Button shouted, having a minor panic attack.
"Calm down. Trust me, I've been in worst situations," Scootaloo said. "Imagine the whole school."
"Yep, and it was cute!" Apple bloom squealed.
"Wait, YOU got asked out?" Button asked, pointing at her.
"What is that supposed to mean? It's not like it's impossible for me to get asked out," Scootaloo said, slightly offended.
"Did you say yes?"
"She sure did! The whole cafeteria seen it! You should've been there Button! It was adorable!" Apple bloom shouted.
"Shut up Applebloom!" Scootaloo said.
"What? It's adorable that you got asked out by your crush."
"Rumble?" Buttons said.
"He NOT my- I should just stop now," Scootaloo said, rolling her eyes.
"Anyway, all we need to do is get ME a date. Who should I ask?" Apple bloom said to herself.
Both Button and Scootaloo shrugged their shoulders. They didn't know who she liked.
"Um, how about that clichéd cousin thing that we always see on T.V.?" Scootaloo laughed.
"No! Why would ya even say that?!" Applebloom said, getting angry with her.
"She's got a point. Who do you like anyway?" Button asked, scratching his head.
"Maybe that's should be our next mission! Findin' me a date!" Applebloom yelled.
"Great idea! Special Mark Crusaders Date Finders!" Scootaloo said.
"Ooh no. I'm not in this one," Button said.
"Sweetie Belle's comin' with us..," Applebloom said.
"Count me in!" Button said. All three held their hands out to chant their next mission.
"Special Mark Crusaders Date Finders! YAY!" They yelled. And they fled back into the cafeteria for lunch.
"So now we're going to find Applebloom a date! Isn't that amazing?!" Sweetie Belle told her sister Rarity exactly what happened to the very last detail.
"My, my, Sweetie Belle. I need to make you a dress, stat!" Rarity said, and she fled out the room to get materials. She turned around and went back into Sweetie's room.
"Almost forgot!" She grabbed Sweetie's hand and led her to the inspiration room, other wise known as Rarity's room.
"I need my measurements, my sewing machine, fabric, Sweetie Belle won't you be a dear and pick out the fabric you want?" Rarity asked, searching for her other materials.
"On it!" Sweetie Belle said, and ran to the corner of the room with all of the different colored fabrics.

"I just don't get it! How can I like any of these people!" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were looking at pictures of their boy classmates. They all weren't good for Applebloom.
"Maybe you could go with my friend Pipsqueak," Sweetie Belle said, stacking up the pictures.
"Maybe...how old is he?" she asked.
"Um..twelve?" Sweetie replied. Applebloom lightly punched her in the arm.
"Really? That's cold," Applebloom said.
"You hit really hard," Sweetie said, rubbing her arm.
"But that was light," Applebloom said, holding her hands out to examine them closely.
"Nevermind that. You still need a date to the dance. It's less than a week away. How about First Base? He seems like a nice guy," Sweetie said, holding out a picture of him.
"Flash's brother? I don't know, Sweetie Belle. He seems like a nice guy an' all, but-"
"He's cute," Sweetie said, looking at the picture.
"Hey, you already have a date. Don't try to steal mine," Applebloom said, snatching the picture out of Sweetie's hand.
"I meant for you! Just give him a chance," Sweetie said. She then felt a stinging pain in her finger. She looked at it, and it was a little bit of blood on it."And I think you just gave me a paper cut. I'll be right back." Sweetie Belle left the room to get a bandage, leaving Applebloom to ponder about First Base as her date.
"Hmm..he is kinda cute," she said to herself."Hey, Sweetie, ya sure he doesn't have a date?"
"Probably not," Sweetie said, coming out of the bathroom.
"Okay Sweetie. I'll ask him. He's probably at the park practicin' for an upcoming game," Applebloom said. She placed the picture down and started to head out to the park.
"I'll come with!" Sweetie said. She started to follow Applebloom, but she stopped her.
"Stay here, Sweetie. I'll do this by myself," Applebloom said.
"Okay, fine. Good luck!" Sweetie said.
"Don't need it!" Applebloom walked out the door to go to the park.
"As if I'm going to listen to her," Sweetie said after she left. After waiting for a few minutes, she was out the door as well.
Applebloom was kicking a stone on her way to the park, thinking about what she would say to the baseball player.
"I don't even know if I want a date. Maybe," Applebloom said to herself,"No. I do wanna date. But him? He's cute, but I don't really know him."
She stopped at the entrance of the park, looking at the light brown sign that said "Canterlot Park."
"Welp, here goes nothin'," Applebloom said. She walked inside of the park and started to search for him.
"First Base! Where are ya?" Applebloom called out. She found him on the bench, conveniently, watching a video on his phone. Applebloom straightened her bow and started to walk over to him. She leaned over the bench to see what he was watching.
"Hey Base," Applebloom said, and First Base slightly jumped.
"Applebloom? Oh, hi," First Base said, looking up from his phone."What's up?"
"Oh, um.. I was just," Applebloom walked to the front of the bench and sat down,"I was just, you know, if ya don't have a, um."
"A what?" he asked.
"Date," Applebloom said quietly.
"Huh?" First Base asked, not hearing her clearly. Applebloom cleared her thrroat and said those two wonderful words.
"A date."
"Oh! Um, no. Why? you wanna go to the dance with me or somethin'?" First Base asked, a smile forming on his face.
"Yeah. Since, ya know, I don't have a date, I was thinkin' of askin' ya," Applebloom said, slightly blushing.
"Well, I WAS just going to stay home and watch the news for the countdown," he put his arm around Applebloom,"But I guess I can go to the dance with you."
"Really?" she said, her eyes beaming.
"Yeah," First Base said.
"Oh thank goodness!" Applebloom gave First Base a tight hug and kissed him on the cheek. She then rose up from the bench and walked away.
"See ya tomorrow!" Applebloom yelled out. First Base waved at her, and then she was out of the park. Before she moved any further, she soon realized what she just did.
"Did I just..KISS SOMEBODY?!" Applebloom asked herself. As soon as she said those words, she blushed even harder.
"You sure did!" she heard two voices say. She turned around to see Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looking back at her.
"I told ya to stay home, Sweetie!" Applebloom yelled.
"Applebloom, I am the sister of a professional matchmaker. It is my duty to practice what she does. And she spies on her friends and interactions with boys. So it is my duty to do the same, with another friend," Sweetie grabbed Scootaloo's hand and held it up high."See?"
"This is even more embarrassing," Applebloom said, her voice starting to crack.
"It's okay Bloom. We won't tell anyone," Scootaloo said. She looked at Sweetie Belle. She was holding her phone out, getting ready to text her classmates details of what she had just seen."RIGHT, Sweetie Belle?" she said through her teeth. Sweetie looked at Scootaloo and saw that she meant seroous business. She put her phone back in her pocket.
"Um, right," she said, smiling.

Sorry guys. He seems too young to be in high school with the girls. He still in junior high in my universe.
For the love of Sweetiemash
Sweetie Belle was trying on the dress Rarity had just made. It was a dark shade of pink with a yellow bow in the middle, the bottom part of the dress ruffled with fabric.
"It's beautiful, sis!" Sweetie squealed, twirling in the mirror.
"Oh, it was nothing. That's just one of the first dresses I've completed. Only a few more dresses to go. And it's two days away until the dance! I don't know if I'll be able to finish all of the dresses in time!" Rarity said, starting to stress out again.
"Maybe I can help you," Sweetie said
"No, that's okay darling. I'll get my friends to help me, if they can," Rarity said."Just enjoy your new dress!"
As Rarity walked out of Sweetie's room, Sweetie grabbed her phone from her bed and took a selfie of her in the dress. She then sent it to Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Button. She added:'what do ya think?'
"Ooh. pretty," Applebloom texted back.
"Cool!" Scootaloo texted.
"You look amazing," Button texted.
"Aww. Thanks guys!" Sweetie said aloud. She dialed Button's phone number and pressed the call button. It rang.
"Hello?" Button said.
"Hey Button! I just wanted to tell you that we're having a sleepover at Scootaloo's. We always have it at the end of the year. It's like a tradition. But this time, we have to bring our dates. Wanna come?" she asked, twirling her hair.
"Oh! sure. I'll come," Button said.
"Great! See you tomorrow at seven! Bye," she said, and then she hung up. She jumped into the bed and thought about what it would be like tomorrow. The slumber party the three friends had has never been shared by anyone else, especially boys. Will they kiss each other? Play dirty games? Honestly, Sweetie didn't want to think about playing spin the bottle and kissing a boy that isn't Button. She sat up, took the dress off, and put her pajamas back on. She picked up the TV remote and started to watch her favorite show, The Real Housewives of Manhattan.
"Ooh! Starlight's gonna kill her when she finds out that Minty stole $500 from her!" she said, being intrigued by the conflict. After scenes of the housewives arguing over petty things, Sweetie soon had gotten bored and decided to just go to sleep.
"*yawn* Goodnight world," she said, and she turned her lamp off.
~*DREAM MODE ACTIVATED*~
Sweetie was on a pink ground. It was fluffy like a pillow, yet hard as a rock. She stood up and walked down the path. Cute little puppies and kittens were swimming in the air, and the clouds had smiling face drawn on them. On the ground, patches of pink cotton covered the land. It tickled Sweetie's feet.
"Where am I?" Sweetie asked herself.
"You don't remember this place?" A voice called out. Sweetie looked sround to see where the voice was coming from.
"Who's there?" She asked.
"You'll soon find out. Anyway, this is the first dream you've ever had. It was when you were a baby. Calm and peaceful, just the way you liked it," the voice, who sounded like a she, said.
"You remember my first dream?" Sweetie asked her.
"Well, I am the one who created the image in your mind," she said, her voice getting higher.
"Um, mom?" Sweetie guessed.
"No, sweetie. Your Grandma," the voice said.
"Grandma Cerese?" Sweetie asked.
"Yes. I know you don't remember me much, but when you mom and dad were at work, I used to take care of you and your sister. I read lots of stories to you two, and it seems as if you imagined one of them," Cerese said, her body becoming more visible.
"Grandma!" Sweetie yelled out, and she ran towards her to hug her.
"Hi darling. I haven't seen you in a while," She said, hugging her grandchild back.
"I've missed you so much, Grandma," Sweetie said.
"Now, I see you're having some boy troubles?" Ceress asked. Sweetie stopped hugging her.
"Yeah. I'm having my first sleepover with boys. I'm really nervous that something really bad is gonna happen. I just don't know what to do," Sweetie said, her head hanging low.
Cerese raised herhead up so she could look at her face."Now Sweetie, you know if you don't feel comfortable doing something, you don't have to do it, right?" Cerese asked.
"Yeah, right," Sweetie said.
"I want you to remember that. I don't want you to get in trouble because some boy knocked you up at a slumber party," Cerese said.
"Ew! Grandma! That's disgusting," Sweetie said, throwing up in her mouth a little.
Cerese chuckled."I'm kidding. I know that'll never happen. Just remember to just say no," she said.
"Thanks, grandma,"Sweetie said, and she hugged her tight.
"You're welcome, baby," Cerese said.
~*DREAM MODE OVER*~
Sweetie instantly woke up, heavily breathing.
"Grandma?" she said. She looked around her room, and she wasn't there.
"I needed that," She sighed.
Just then, there was knock on the door. Rarity opened it a bit so her face could be visible.
"Is everything okay, Sweetie?" she asked her little sister, her face full of concern.
"Everything's just fine, sis,"Sweetie said.
"Alright,"Rarity replied. She closed the door and walked back into her room.
"Everything's just fine,"Sweetie said, and she went back to sleep.
For the love of Sweetiemash
"Rarity, are you okay?" Sweetie asked. She was standing on Scootaloo's front door step, looking at her paranoid sister. She was sweating in the COLD for crying out loud. She looked at Sweetie with wide eyes.
"Of course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be okay?! Just because you're sleeping in a house with boys doesn't mean I'm not okay. You know what? Maybe we should go hom. You're too young for this and-" Sweetie put a finger on her lips and shushed her. She would always get like this when she was nervouse. And it didn't take a genius to know that she was nervous about Sweetie Belle sleeping in a house with boys.
"Don't worry, Rarity. I'll be fine. Besides, I don't even know what you're getting so worked up about. You always bring boys home and you seem to have a good time with them," Sweetie Belle said, smiling innocently. Rarity's face became hotter than before.
"B-but they don't sleep over! Sweetie, just promise me you won't do anything stupid?" Rarity asked her.
"Of course. You can trust me, Sis!" Sweetie said, hugging her sister tight. She knew that she needed one.
"Good. Now, let's go inside, shall we?" Rarity said. The walked up towards the door and rang the doorbell. About five seconds later, the door opened, revealing a very energetic Scootaloo.
"Great! You're here!" Scootaloo squealed, hugging her friend," hi Rarity."
"Well hello, my dear Scootaloo," she responded. She tapped her sister on the shoulder." I'll pick you up at 12 tomorrow, alright?" She said.
"Okay. Bye Sis!" she said, slamming the door in her face.
"You ready for the best night of your life?!" Scoots loo asked her nervous friend.
"I guess.." She sighed.
"What's wrong?" Scootaloo asked.
"This is my first sleepover with boys," Sweetie sad, putting her bag down,"What if I embarrass myself?"
"Sweetie, I don't think you would be the one embarrassed. You live with Rarity, after all."
"So?"
"And doesn't she teach you about boys?" Scootaloo asked.
"Well, yeah," Sweetie responded,"It's just....weird."
"Don't worry, Sweetie. Only Rumble's here, and he's my date. You'll be okay," Scootaloo assured her.
"Alright, she said, sitting down next to Scootaloo."So, what do we do now?"
Scootaloo grabbed a bowl from the nearby table and gave it to her.
"What's this?" she asked. The bowl was filled with sheets of white paper folded in half.
"Pick one and don't open it until I say so," Scootaloo said with a smile.
"Okay," Sweetie dug her hand into the sheets of paper without looking and randomly picked a piece. She took it out and laid it beside her.
The doorbell rang.
"Must be Applebloom. I'll get it," Rumble said, getting up to open the door.
"What's the paper for?" Sweetie asked.
"I'll tell you when everyone gets here," Scootaloo said, grabbing the bowl and putting it on her lap.
Hey guys!" Applebloom said, walking into the room with Rumble and First Base. They all say down on the floor, and Scootaloo gave both Applebloom and First Base the bowl so they could grab a piece of paper.
"Don't open it yet," Scootaloo said.
Apple bloom glared at her."what are you plannin'?"
Scootaloo looked the other way."Nothin'." She grabbed the bowl back and sat it on her lap.
"So, uh, what're we gonna do?" Base asked.
"Can't tell ya until everyone's here," Scootaloo said, giggling softly.
Everyone started to talk awkwardly to each other as they waited for Button to show. It took a long time, but after what seemed like hours, the doorbell rang again.
"I'll get it!" Sweetie Belle said fast. She got up and ran to the door, opening it. Button waved at her, and she gave him a big hug.
"Thank goodness you came! We can finally find out what Scootaloo planned for us!" Sweetie said, grabbing his hand and leading him to the living room. They sat down next to each other, and Scootaloo gave him the bowl so he could get the piece of paper. Scootaloo told him not to open it yet, and he gave her the bowl back. She place it on the table beside her.
"Alright, guys. The papers are for later on in the night. You still can't open them yet, but I'll tell you what they are. They're dares that you must do when we play truth or dare. Understood?" Everyone nodded in agreement. Scootaloo smiled.
"Good. Now let's play our first game. Strip Monopoly!" Scootaloo said, popping out a game box out of no where. Everyone gasped.
"Uh, Scoots, are ya sure?" Apple look asked, holding on to her clothes tightly.
"Don't worry about it. How about this: the lowest we'll go is bras and underwear. Got it?" Scootaloo said. Everyone looked at each other, then back at Scootaloo.
"What? It'll be just fine guys. This game is fun!" She said.
"How'd you hear about this?" Sweetie asked nervously.
"Internet," Scootaloo answered. Applebloom smacked her head.
"We're gonna put you on an Internet block," she said.
"Do we have to play this? Because I'm not comfortable playing this type of game," Button said.
"Yes because we're gonna see each other's bodies anyway in the future," Scootaloo said. Everyone blushed.
"WHAT?!" They all screamed.
Scootaloo started to set up the game."What's wrong with that?"
For the love of Sweetiemash
"Okay guys. We gotta see who's going first," Scootaloo said, picking up the dice. She handed the to Button, who was already shaking in his clothes.
"D-do we have to do this, Scootaloo? This isn't around our ages," Button said, holding his shirt tight.
"Uh, yes it is! C'mon, don't be a scaredy cat, Button," Scootaloo said. She shook the dice in her hand to signal him to take it.
"Fine," he said, rolling his eyes and taking the dice.
"Please don't be a twelve," he said aloud, shaking the dice. Everyone looked at the dice as he threw it onto the gameboard.
"Nine! Safe!" Button said, pumping his fists in the air.
"Okay...guess it's my turn!" Sweetie Belle said, picking up the dice and shaking it in her hand. She threw the dice on the board. It stopped rolling to reveal a seven.
"Yes!" she said.
After four more turns, it was determined that Rumble would be the first to go, rolling a lousy eleven. Everyone picked their game pieces up and set them on the 'GO' space. Scootaloo gave each player $1000 to start off with. Rumble picked up the dice and rolled a seven.
"I'm scared to move," Rumble said, picking up his gamepiece.
"Don't worry. It's not like you'll land on a property that soon," Scootaloo said. Rumble moved his piece to a chance space. He picked up one of the '?' cards and read it aloud.
"You win a contest for being the mlst beautiful person in the world. You get 50$ Alright!" He said. He held it hand out his hand to Scootaloo."Gimme cash, doll."
Scootaloo handed him 50 dollars."Don't call me a doll."
"Welp, I guess it's my turn," Button said, picking up the dice and rolling a three. He picked up his game piece and moved three spaces.
"I'll buy it!" he said, handing 60 dollars to Scootaloo.
"My turn!" Sweetie Belle said, rolling a four.
"Aww, I gotta pay 200," she said, handing Scootaloo $200.
"Ahm gettin' bored already. Can't we play somethin' else, Scoots?" Applebloom asked.
"Would you much rather do the dare you chose?" Scootaloo asked.
Applebloom picked up the dice and rolled a six. She landed on the 'Oriental Avenue' space.
"I'll buy it," she said, handing Scootaloo Scootalooa $100.
"That's what I thought," Scootaloo said, smirking.
"Ugh, we've been playing this game for what seems like hours and nobody lost their clothes yet other than their socks!" Sweetie said, getting bored.
"Just roll the stinkin' dice, Sweetie," Scootaloo said, getting annoyed with her whines.
"Fine!" she said, rolling a 10. She landed on Marvin Gardens, which was Button's propety.
"Oh come on! How much do I owe ya, Button?" Sweetie asked.
"$120," Button said casually.
"B-but I don't have 120 dollars," Sweetie Belle said nervously. Everyone glanced at each other with smiles. All except Button. His eyes widened and he looked straight at Sweetie.
"Y-you don't have to pay! It's free! No charge!" Button said quickly.
"Uh uh uh. She HAS to pay you with clothing," Scootaloo snickered."How much money do ya got, Sweetie?"
"I-I got 70," Sweetie said.
"You have to get rid of the shirt," she said.
"What?!" Sweetie questioned.
"Yeah. It's worth $50. You have to get rid of it, Sweetie," Scootaloo said. Sweetie frowned and looked at Button. She sighed and gave in. Everyone watched as she took her white shirt off and gave it to Button, who just looked at it and blushed. He looked back at Sweetie. She was almost in tears.
"I-I can't take it," Button said, pushing her hand away.
"You have to, Button. It's the rules," Scootaloo said. Sweetie pushed her hand back towards Button, and he took the shirt.
"It's okay, Button," Sweetie said, side smiling.
Applebloom picked up the dice and started shaking it."Scootaloo, please. Can we stop playing this game? Next thing ya know I'm gonna be the on-" she rolled a seven. She counted the spaces she had to land on, resulting to one of First Base's properties.
"Crabapples," Applebloom said. She moved her gamepiece to Pennsylvania Avenue.
"How much do I owe ya?" she asked.
"$150," First Base said.
"What?! But I only have 50 bucks!" Applebloom said.
"You gotta give him your pants, Applebloom," Scootaloo said.
"Are ya kiddin' me?!" Applebloom said.
"No. Now stop fooling around and give him your pants," she said.
Applebloom sighed and wiggled out of her jeans. She gave them to First Base, who gladly accepted them.
"Seriously. I am BEGGIN' ya Scoots. We have to play somethin' else," Applebloom said.
"Fine! We'll do the dares! Open your papers everyone!" Scootaloo said, getting up to clean up the game. Evryone opened their papers to reveal their chosen dares.
"Oh cool! I got an easy one!" First Base said.
"Can I have ma pants back?" Applebloom asked.
"No can do. 'Says it's my dare. Not much of a challenge if you ask me," First Base said.
"Oh, it's a challenge all right. I'm strong as a horse. Now," Applebloom said, cracking her knuckles and jumping on him. She pinned him down, sitting on him, knees to the floor. She breathed heavily, looking at his eyes.
"Woah!" he said.
"Give 'em back!" She shouted. He only held the pants tighter, with a smirk. She sat down on him grabbing the pants and pulling on them. Everyone watched as they fought for the jeans.
"Well, this is surprisingly entertaining," Rumble said, grabbing the bowl of popcorn and eating it.
"Wow, you're strong for someone who plays baseball!" she said, pulling on them harder.
"Give 'em back!"
"Never!" he responded.
She finally let go, causing First Base's upper body to fall on the floor. She pinned him to the ground again. She breathed through her nose like a bull.
"Listen here, Base! I'm gonna give ya one last chance to give my pants back before Ah really fight ya," Applebloom said.
"Hey Applebloom," First Base said.
"What?!"
"Turn around."
"Ya honestly think I'm fallin' for that?"
"No funny business, honest. Just take a quick glance at everyone, then at yourself."
Applebloom turned around to see everyone staring at them, eyes widened, obviously waiting for what would happen next. She then looked at the way she was positioned, along with her attire and his.
"Welp....this is awkward," she said, slightly blushing of embarrassment.
"It's okay," Base said.
"Shouldn't've worn a crop top with a t-shirt underneath," she said, looking to the side.
"Well, I think you look adorable when you're trying to fight me."
"Tryin'?! But that wasn't tryin'! That was-wait, did you just call me "adorable?" she asked, looking back at him.
"Yeah," he responded, smiling.
"Woah," Applebloom said. "I really feel like kissing you right now."
"The feeling's mutual," Base responded.
"Woah, woah, woah. There will be no kissing unless it's a dare. Right, Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo said, dragging Applebloom off of him.
"Right! My turn!" She said cheerfully."You must go outside covered in-MAYONNAISE?!" Sweetie Belle shouted. Scootaloo took out the jar of mayo and set it on the counter.
"Ah, I had a feeling that you would get that one. Read the rest of it, Sweetie," she said, chuckling.
She scamned the rest of the dare and looked up at Scootaloo."Your date has to do it." She looked at Button.
"This is gonna be a long night," Sweetie said. She and Button got up and went into the kitchen.
"It sure is," Rumble said, standing next to Scootaloo. "My turn." He read his paper aloud.
"You must teach your date how to tango," Rumble said, looking at Scootaloo.
"But you don't know how to tango," she smirked.
"Oh really?" Rumble looked at the vase on the counter and picked up a rose, putting it in his mouth. He grabbed Scootaloo's hand and lead her to the living room. She spun her around and dipped her. The rose fell into her mouth.
"But-" she started to say.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me, Scootaloo."
For the love of Sweetiemash
"Okay, Button. What do you think I should do?" Sweetie Belle asked confidently, although, she was feeling a bit nervous inside.
"Maybe we should just cover your clothing too. I don't want to make you take your clothes off for some dare," Button said, opening the jar of mayonnaise. Sweetie raised her arms up and closed her eyes as she felt the cold solid rubbing against her body. After what seemed to be ten minutes, Button put the jar back down on the table.
"Done!" he said, wiping his hands on his shirt. Sweetie opened her eyes to see herself mostly covered in mayo.
"Umm, Button, you missed some spots," Sweetie said, observing her bare body parts. Everything but her breasts and butt were covered in the white spread. Button began to blush as he picked up the jar again.
"I feel uncomfortable with this, Sweetie Belle," he said.
"You have to cover my whole body, Button. Not just the parts that you feel like covering. It's not like you're touching any of them anyway. You're using-"
"My hands," he interrupted. She soon noticed that his hands were partially covered in mayo, and Sweetie Belle quickly blushed.
Good thing he covered my cheeks, she thought.
"Umm...uh..I don't mind if you....touch..there," she said separately. He gave her one last look of assurance, and she nodded. He began covering the spots he missed, keeping his tomato colored face on the whole time. Once he was actually finished, he washed his hands in the sink this time. Sweetie Belle started to shake, both from how cold the mayo was and how it felt being touched in those particular parts. She slowly walked out of the kitchen to show everyone of what he had done. She closed her eyes and got ready for the laughs that were about to come, but instead, there were gasps.
"He actually did it," Scootaloo said. Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Sweetie Belle opened hers to see the expressions they wore on their faces. Button came out of the kitchen with a paper towel in his hand.
"Welp, I did the dare. Now it's my turn," he grabbed his dare from his pocket and started to open it, but Scootaloo took it away from him and balled it up.
"Hey? What gives?" he asked.
"C'mon, Sweetie Belle. Ya need a shower," Applebloom said. She got up and led her mayo-covered friend to the bathroom.
"I'll come with," Scootaloo said, and left the living room.
"DUUUDE, you're so brave," First Base started. He got up and patted him on the back.
"Congratulations, man. You've finally done it," Rumble said, giving him a fist bump.
"I don't understand. What exactly did I do?" Buttom questioned, looking at both of them.
"Oh Button, so young and just too affiliated with video games," Base said, shaking his head.
"I'd thought he would have gotten it by now. I mean, every boy wants it," Rumble said. Both shook their heads, their friend still confused of what was going on.
"What are you guys talking about?" Button asked.
"You see, Button, you had just touched a girl's body parts. Something so sacred, it only happens ever so often. You're awesome," First Base said.
"Oh," Button blushed."Well it was a dare. I had to do it. It's not like—"
"How are you not affected by this? That was awesome!"
"Yeah, I'm so jealous," Rumble said in a girly voice. Button and First Base laughed.
"Guys, this is nonsense. I'm going back to playing my video game," Button said, walking to his sleeping bag and pulling out a 3DS.
"But I thought-"
"She can't take everything away from me," Button said, laying down on his sleeping bag. Rumble and First Base shrugged their shoulders and sat down, turning on the T.V. to watch sports.
"How could you let him do this to ya?" Applebloom said, getting the shower ready for Sweetie Belle.
"It was a dare. He couldn't back down," Sweetie Belle said, taking her clothes off.
"It's still weird," Applebloom said.
"What did it feel like?" Scootaloo giggled.
Applebloom glared at her."Do I need to send ya out?"
"No. I just wanted to know," she responded, crossing her arms.
"Why did you make us play those games?" Sweetie asked, putting her clothing into a pile.
"You can get get in now,"Applebloom said. Sweetie climbed into the tub and closed the shower curtains.
"I wanted us to get closer to our dates. You should've said something if you didn't want to play. And he could have backed down by just saying no," Scootaloo said.
"What did you want ta happen? Did ya want us feelin' on each other or something? Gross," Applebloom said.
"Sorry. We can be boring and watch T.V. for the rest of the night if you want," Scootaloo said.
"That's better than one of us losin' our virginity!" Applebloom spat back.
Sweetie Belle popped her head out of the curtain."Guys, please don't fight. It's almost the end of the year. We can't end it like this."
Applebloom sighed."Sweetie's right. We shouldn't fight. I'm goin back to the living room," she said, leaving the bathroom.
"The towel's on the rack, Sweetie. The pj's are on the toilet. Smell goods on the counter. I'm out," Scootaloo said. Sweetie heard the door open and close behind her.
"Seriously?" Scootaloo said, watching the boys glued to their screens. She picked up the remote and turned the T.V. off while Applebloom took the 3DS and threw it on top of the refrigerator.
"Come on man," First Base said.
"What the heck Applebloom?" Button said.
"You guys came here to have fun. And that's exactly what we're gonna have. Pick up your flashlights, boys. We're goin out," Scootaloo said, pointing to an end table with six flashlights. Everyone grabbed a flashlight and waited for Sweetie Belle to come out. Once she did, she looked at everyone with a nervous smile.
"Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Sweetie asked.
Applebloom pointed to the end table with one flashlight on it.
"But my hair is still wet," Sweetie whined. Scootaloo got up, walked to the coat closet, pulled out a hat, and gave it to her."Here."
Sweetie Belle put it on and walked over to the end table, grabbing the flashlight."Ready!"
Everyone got up and walked outside, shivering in their night clothing.
"M-maybe we should g-go back in to g-get some coats," Scootaloo said. Everyone nodded and went back inside.
For the love of Sweetiemash
As the two children were walking deeper into the cave, it had gotten colder within each minute.
"We're never going to get out of here," Sweetie Belle cried,"are you sure you have no bars on your cell?"
"None," Button Mash replied. He then stopped.
"What's wrong?" Sweetie asked, afraid of the answer.
Button's lips turned to a frown. "I-I don't know where we are! We're lost!" Button started to cry for the third time. Sweetie just did the same thing she did the other times: calm him down.
"Maybe if we turn back, we can find Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then we can get out of here," she said.
"Are you sure that will work?" Button asked.
"I'm sure," Sweetie Belle replied.
"Alright."
They went back down the same route when Sweetie Belle's flashlight turned off.
"Uh-oh," she said, then started to panic.
"Just use your phone," Button said.
"But it's almost dead!" Sweetie said, her voice filled with so much worry.
"Then use mine," Button gave his phone to Sweetie's then she calmed down again.
Thanks," she said.
They picked which ways they thought they went, and when it wasn't the right one, they turned back. After a couple of hours, they spotted a pink bow hiding behind a rock.
"Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle said.
"Crap," they heard. "She arose from her hiding spot. "Uh, hi guys."
"Have you been spying on us?" Sweetie asked.
"Uh, sorta," Applebloom replied,"but I'm not the only one."She pulled up a dirty Scootaloo.
"Hi," she said.
"Why were you guys following us?" Button asked.
"Um, because we wanted to see how you two can survive without us?" Apple loom said in a questioning tone.
"You know what? I don't care right now. All I care about is getting the heck out of here!" Sweetie yelled.
"Sweetie Belle! Be quiet!" Scootaloo whispered.
"Whatever. Right now I'm cold and starving, and I'm very afraid that I will die in here. Do you guys know where we are?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Oh! I have the map in my bag," Scootaloo said. "By the way, here's your jacket," she through the jacket at Sweetie Belle.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU HAD THE MAP AND MY JACKET?!-"
"Sweetie Belle!"
"WE HAVE BEEN COLD AND LOST FOR HOURS AND YOU HAD BOTH OF THOSE RESOURCES! WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS ARE YOU?!-"
"Sweetie Belle!"
"AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO FOLLOW US?! WHAT WERE YOU EVEN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?!"
"SWEETIE BELLE!"
The cave started to shake.
"RUN!!" Applebloom screamed. All four children ran as fast as they could out of the cave, Scootaloo giving the directions. When they finally saw a white light, they knew they were getting close to the entrance. But the entrance was closing up.
"WE HAVE TO JUMP!" Scootaloo yelled, and everyone agreed. After all, they didn't want to die.
Scoots lol was the first to make it out. Then Applebloom. Then Button Mash. The entrance was closing up.
"Hurry up Sweetie!" Apple bloom yelled.
Button ran back up to the entrance, which was almost fully closed. "Grab my hand!"
"Sweetie Belle saw his hand and immediately grabbed it, climbing up the rocky wall. Button Mash pulled her out right on time. After a few seconds, the cave was fully closed. Sweetie and Button both fell to the ground, one in top of the other.
"Told you...we should've...gone...to the....mall," Sweetie Belle said.
The kids were all at Sweetie Belle's, cleaning up their scars and bruises.
"I can't believe I did that," Sweetie Belle said, still mad at her two best friends.
"We said that we're sorry!" Scootaloo said for the fourth time. Sweetie ignored that comment and washed her hands.
"That was a dreadful experience," Button said, "and now I'm scared of caves."
"Oh my Gosh! What happened to you all?" Rarity said, looking at the dirty, hungry children.
"Cave explorin'?" Applebloom said.
"Ugh, another one of your crusading adventures. This has to stop," Rarity said. "Mother called. She fixed a meal after we left and it's in the refrigerator. You guys can eat it. I see that you're much more hungry than me," She said, and went upstairs.
Sweetie Belle looked at her friends, then the fridge. They knew exactly what she was about to do. Like wild animals, all four ran towards the fridge and grabbed four containers full of food. They ate it all up.
"Your mom is a good cook," Button said after finishing his meal.
"Trust me, that's just the hunger talking. Why do you think we always order out?" Sweetie said.
They all threw the containers and plates in the sink and looked at the clock.
"I gotta go guys. Applejack's probably worried about me. See y'all later," Applebloom said. "And Sweetie Belle, I'm really sorry." And then she left.
"Me too. I have that big quiz tomorrow in Ms.Harshwinny's class. See you guys later," Scootaloo said, and then she left Sweetie Belle and Button Mash alone.
"Hey um, Sweetie?" Button asked.
"Yeah?" She said.
"I...uh..gotta go too," Button said.
"Oh," a disappointed Sweetie Belle said,"Okay. See ya later."
Button mash got up from the seat and walked out. She sighed and started the dishwater.
Someday, she thought.
Button walked back into the kitchen and gave Sweetie a kiss on the cheek, then walked out before she could see him blush. Sweetie touched her cheek and it was hot with a scarlet blush on her face. She smiled.
Yes, she thought.
