Scootaloo's Crush

Scootaloo was dumbfounded. She stared at Applebloom who had just offered her help and didn't know what to say. She was very grateful for her friend's offer and wanted to say so but couldn't make her lips move. Without thinking she did the only thing she could think to do. She went to Applebloom and hugged her. Man is she a great friend Scootaloo thought. Now all I need to do is speak and maybe I can get started on getting my dream girl. "T-Thank you so much Bloom." she finally choked the words out. "I don't know what to say."

"Then stop talking before you knock yourself out." said Applebloom. "What we're focused on now is getting you that girl and we need a plan to do it!" she exclaimed with confidence. Scootaloo smiled knowing that with Applebloom's help she was sure to be able to get Sweetiebelle to go out with her.

"I'm in." Scootaloo said without hesitation. "I'll do anything I can to make this happen." Applebloom smiled at her friends confidence and knew that she was going to see this through until her friends were happy.

"Alright then, we're gonna need to get you and Sweetie alone so you can tell her the truth, but you can't tell her right away you need to build up to it so it feels more special." said Applebloom.

"More special?" asked Scootaloo in a confused tone. She didn't understand why she couldn't do things her way and just be straightforward. "Why shouldn't I just come out and say it to get it over with" she said.

"Why haven't you done that already." replied Applebloom. She had a point, although Scootaloo wanted to be with Sweetiebelle more than anything she was genuinely scared of telling her in fear that she would hate her. This was a thought Scootaloo could not bear because before Applebloom came along Sweetiebelle was her only friend. If She lost Sweetiebelle her life would never be the same again. She realized how long she had been thinking when she saw Applebloom impatiently staring at her. "I thought so, you have absolutely no reason other than the fact that your scared. I need to know your fully on board with me before we go any further because I will not go through all of this strife if you're not going to at least try to get that girl. So tell me Scootaloo when I set this up are you gonna get that damn girl or do we give up now." she finished her speech out of breath. Scootaloo stared at Applebloom dumbfounded with what she had said. Then slowly her shock turned into confidence and she eventually had a confident smile on her face. She turned to Applebloom and cleared her throat.

"I am in love with that girl. I have been for longer than I can remember. I would do anything for her. So yes, yes I am going to go through with this because dammit i'm going to be happy!" she exclaimed as she stomped her hoof on the ground hard enough that a picture fell off the wall. Applebloom was frozen in shock. She had no idea Scootaloo felt that way about anyone. She definitely meant it and that made Applebloom smile. She was so happy about this that she wanted to help in anyway she could so she needed more specifics to her plan.

"Alright then I'll figure out the specifics to the plan tonight and we can meet tomorrow here at the same time to finalize everything. Then all that's left is to get Sweetie." said Applebloom.

"Ok!" Scootaloo exclaimed. She went home that day excited knowing that tomorrow she would have the way to win over the love of her life. She slept well that night, better then she ever had before because she knew everything was going to be ok.

The next day she woke at noon. That definitely made up for sleep she had lost the nights before. She had three hours until she had to meet Applebloom at the clubhouse. So she had some time to kill. She got up and grabbed her scooter. She knew exactly where she wanted to go. It was a small lake in the middle of the forest. It was a nice spot, quiet and tranquil. It was the only place she knew that she had all to herself. She went there to feel better when she was sad, when she was alone, or even when she just needed to get away from it all. It was her favorite place in the world. However she had come to say goodbye. "Hello old friend" she spoke to the water. "We've had a lot of good times" she continued. "You know I came here for all the tragedies in my life and somehow you made me feel better, but most of the time I came here when I was all alone because this place made me forget everything bad for a while, it made me realize that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately this is the last time i'll ever come here because after tonight i'll never be alone again." Scootaloo said those words in excitement and fear for what was to come. As she left she glanced back at the pool one last time. "Thank you old friend." With that she walked away.

She arrived at the clubhouse an hour early so she just sat down. She thought about what crazy plan Applebloom had come up with and how it was going to work. She had to think it would work however, she had to have faith that somehow she would get that girl. Applebloom came bursting through the door a look of excitement on her face. "Scootaloo I have a plan!" she ran over and hugged Scootaloo which made her feel more confident that Applebloom wasn't going to disappoint her. "Here goes." she said preparing to tell scootaloo the plan. "I talked to Rarity and Applejack and have set up for the three of us to go to lunch tomorrow. However i'll fake being sick so it'll just be you and Sweetie. You guys can chat and you can start flirting a bit. Now she won't notice at first because well, how do I put this delicately, a little slow with that kind of thing. Then come out and tell her at the end of the meal. If she likes you back then we're good to go!" she started breathing deeply after talking for so long. Scootaloo liked the plan. The only that could go wrong was her not liker her back. So she felt she needed to give it a try.

"Ok sounds good" she said. Applebloom smiled and nodded at her.

"Good luck out there kiddo I want you to be happy."

"Thanks Bloom I owe you one." and with that she was off waiting for the big day ahead.
