"Scoots?" Sweetiebelle asked her hoof still outreached to the orange filly. She continued talking to the filly but was not heard, for scootaloo was in her own world. Sweetiebelle was getting pretty annoyed and only when that outreached hoof slapped Scootaloo in the face did she come back to reality. Scootaloo tried to hold back her tears now for two reasons.

"S-sweetie WHY THE HAY DID YOU SLAP ME!" screamed a Scootaloo close to tears.

"Sorry Scoots I couldn't get you to answer me so I didn't know what else to do." The unicorn was genuinely sorry about this and this made Scootaloo feel bad for yelling at her. "I-I didn't mean to hit you that hard I only meant to tap you." She was lying but didn't want one of her best friends to be mad at her. Sweetie didn't know what to do for she saw that Scootaloo was starting to cry and she knew something was wrong other than the slap. She sat down next to Scootaloo and looked the pegasus in the eyes. "What's wrong Scoots."

"Nothing" said the pegasus in the most unconvincing tone ever heard. She then looked up at Sweetiebelle hoping she understood there was something wrong. The unicorn sat there looking quite puzzled about Scootaloo's response . Then Sweetiebelle smiled.

"Ok then!" she said in a cheery tone and skipped away from where the pegasus was sitting "See you tomorrow." she called back as she disappeared over a hill. Scootaloo sad there in awe for a moment at her friends abandonment of her then all of a sudden she couldn't hold it back anymore. She cried. She cried uncontrollably for hours on end as the landscape grew dark around her. She didn't notice at all but one moment she was crying on the streets the next thing she knew she was crying in her room. She lie awake for many hours on end until she passed out from exhaustion. She never once stopped crying.

The next morning she awoke with a tear-stained face. She leaned over to check the time. It was 2:00 in the afternoon. Crap! she thought to herself. I have a cutie mark crusader meeting in one hour. God this will be so awkward. Sweetiebelle might be oblivious but apple bloom is smarter than that. She'll force the truth out me eventually and then who knows what will happen next. All these thoughts raced through her head at 1000 miles per hour until her phone buzzed. It was a text from Applebloom.

Sweetie came over last night and told me about last night r u ok?

She threw her phone down on the bed in frustration. How is today's meeting going to go she thought worriedly. Well one things for sure I'm going to be asked a lot of questions and I don't know what i'm going to say. I have to go though if I ditch it'll make me seem even more suspicious. Too confused to even keep thinking she got on her scooter and sped towards the clubhouse.

She reached the door to the clubhouse and took a deep breath. Finally she mustered up the courage to enter. As she went inside she was not prepared for what she saw. Sitting in the center of the clubhouse was Applebloom and that wasn't abnormal what shocked her was that Sweetiebelle wasn't there. "Hey Bloom where's Sweetie?" she inquired.

"She's not coming." said Applebloom with a smug tone of voice. She walked up to Scootaloo and stared her down then cleared her throat. "Listen Scoots I know something is going on here and you're gonna tell me what it is." Scootaloo turned white with fear. How did she know anything. Although running off from her was weird, with that and Sweetie's twisted version of what happened last night how did she figure anything out. Then what she said registered with her and the pale whet turned to a bright red.

"There is absolutely nothing going on here Bloom." she said once again in the most unconvincing tone ever, only this time she didn't do it on purpose. Applebloom however could hear tone considering she understood more than Sweetiebelle. She gave her friend a look of doubt and pure pity that caused Scootaloo to finally break.

"So you want to tell me what ah already know Scoots" said Applebloom smiling reassuringly.

"I-I have a crush on somepony." she choked out.

"Ya wanna tell me who Scoots." she said with a comforting smile that made Scoots finally realize she was the only one to tell before the secret ate her alive.

"S-ss weetie b-b-b elle." she finally choked it out.

"Alright then only one thing left to do then." said Applebloom

"What's that?" Scootaloo asked

"Help you get that girl"
