Scootaloo's Crush

It wasn't a special day in ponyville. In fact it started like any other for the orange pegasus, she got up ate breakfast, brushed her hair, and went off to school. As she walked along the dirt road towards the schoolhouse she heard a familiar voice calling her, a beautiful singsongy voice that made her smile any time she heard it. It was Sweetiebelle. "Scoots wait up." she yelled with her trademark squeak. Oh how Scootaloo loved that squeak she thought it was the cutest sound in the world. Sweetie caught up to her and gasped for breath. "Wow scoots you sure do walk fast." she murmured between heavy breaths as they finally arrived at the schoolhouse.

"Take your seats children" Ordered Cherilee, the school teacher responsible for sweetiebelle and Scootaloo's class. As the children took seats around the room Scootaloo sat down next to Sweetiebelle. Scootaloo dared to sneak a few sideways glances in Sweetiebelle's direction. She just had to occasionally look at her perfect brushed mane or her pearl white skin that seemed to shine like a beautiful diamond. Scootaloo was so mesmerized that she didn't notice the teacher had called on her. "Scootaloo!" Cherilee yelled with all her might which finally brought the young pegasus to focus in a jolt of realization. "So you finally came back to equestria" she said in a annoyed way. "Now if you could answer the question Scootaloo?" Cherilee looked at the young filly expectantly.

"Oh um w-well I think the answer was 21" she said in a shy tone not knowing the question in the first place. The class began to giggle quietly so that only she could hear their mocking. Sweetiebelle groaned and gave her friend a look saying she was sorry for what was about to happen. Cherilee started to get mad and then became furious. However she tried to manage a calm and normal tone.

"Scootaloo we are doing HISTORY!" she yelled losing her composure talking to the young pegasus. "WE ARE DOING HISTORY NOT MATH AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK YOU'VE BEEN IN SPACE MY ENTIRE CLASS!!" she screamed at the young pegasus to the point where her student was at the point of tears. "So Scootaloo I have no choice but to issue you another detention, since this is your third one this month I will have no choice but to meet with your parents. Scootaloo couldn't speak she was in shock of what had just happened. Cherilee never got upset and if she was going to it certainly wouldn't be over her spacing out in class. She just sat there dumbfounded until she felt a warm hoof being placed on her shoulder. She turned in shock to see an amazing sight. It was Sweetiebelle with a sad look in her eyes and all she could do was look at her friend give a shy smile and do her best to reassure her that everything would be okay.

Later that day after she was feeling less rattled from all that had happened at school, she went to the clubhouse. She entered through the door in a rather good mood. Inside the clubhouse was completely empty. All that was there were a few posters, a roll call list, and some rock climbing equipment from yesterday's failed expedition. She went to the center of the small wooden shack and sat down. She looked at an empty wall and thought about all that had happened, from the yelling to almost crying to feeling safe with Sweetiebelle there to help her feel better. This entire day had confused her to no end and it was certainly not going to be easy to figure it all out.

While she was lost in thought a small yellow earth pony with a pink bow in her hair entered the clubhouse. The young earth pony saw Scootaloo in a trance like state in the middle of the clubhouse. What was going on? She looked to where Scootaloo was starting and there was nothing but a blank wall. What could have the filly in such a off-earth sate? "Um Scoots" she asked shyly, but the filly continued staring. "Hey Scoots" she spoke loudly. The orange pegasus snapped back to earth in a flash.

"Hey Bloom" the pegasus said cheerfully with a panicked look in her eyes. She dashed over to the earth pony. "Is there a meeting today?" she asked trying to change the subject that they hadn't even spoken about yet.

"No Scootaloo I was just passing through and decided to check on the clubhouse. Applebloom walked around the clubhouse and for the life of her couldn't figure out what Scootaloo had been staring at. "Scoots be honest, what the hell were you doing when I came in here." As soon as she said this the orange pegasus turned a deep red. "Ah so that's it. You have a crush on somepony." All the orange pegasus could do was sputter and turn away from her friend. "Ah knew it!" exclaimed Bloom "Who is it? Rumble? Featherweight? Pipsqueak?" she rolled off names as quick as she could.

"SHUT UP" screamed Scootaloo. She stormed out of the clubhouse. Applebloom could only watch in shock as her friend ran away from her. What had she done? She ran the whole way home and never looked back. Somewhere along the way she started crying. As tears streamed down her face she ran faster and faster until she bumped into something and got launched backwards. She looked up to see what obstacle was responsible for this. She looked up and was in utter shock. She couldn't believe her own eyes and was trying to figure out if this was real or just a mere illusion. Standing there with one hoof out was Sweetiebelle.
