Finding The Courage Within

Part 2

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shuffled their hooves with mild embarrassment as their friend squeed at the news. "Ah can't believe y'all are actually datin'! Don't be gettin' the wrong idea though, Ah'm happy for the both of ya but the last thing Ah heard was ya rejectin' her." Applebloom remarked aloud with an excited smile.

"A lot has happened since we last spoke, A-B." Scootaloo replied casually as she allowed a smile to wash over her face.

"Clearly." The farm filly replied with a smirk. "So…?" The teenage filly said, drawing out the word as if she was expecting some kind of response from either of the two.

"So what?" Sweetie Belle asked with a confused look, not sure what the filly was implying only to notice Scootaloo blushing hotly. "You know what she's asking?" She asked her lover curiously.

"Yeah and no we haven't done it yet." Scootaloo replied in one swift response at which point it dawned on the egghead whom blushed furiously and looked at her friend with an outraged expression.

"Applebloom! I didn't take you for a pervert!" The unicorn stated with an air of disappointment in her voice.

"Ah'm not but ya can't blame a filly for bein' curious! Ah mean…" She defended herself trailing off as she leaned in close. "We're all still virgin's right? Ah just wanted to know what it was like." She whispered only to receive a gentle swat to the snout from the Pegasus whom rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Knock it off, Bloom. Even if we did anything, we wouldn't tell you." Scootaloo stated with an annoyed expression. "Besides, she's already made it clear that she doesn't want to use it anyways if we ever got to that point." She added almost sounding as if she was disappointed.

Before any filly could speak further on the topic however, the first period bell rang loudly throughout the halls.

"Horseapples! We're late!" Applebloom exclaimed as she darted from the two and down the hall.

"We better get moving, Belle." Scootaloo stated as she quickly trotted over to her locker and put in the combination to open it followed by Sweetie Belle who was doing the same.

As the unicorn took books out of her locker she couldn't help but wonder if Scootaloo was disappointed that she was against using her colt penis if they ever got that intimate. "Scoots…?'" She asked almost hesitantly as she closed her locker.

"Yeah?" The Pegasus replied in a hurried tone as she stuffed books, pencils, and papers into her saddlepacks, unaware of the worried look on the unicorn's face.

"You… aren't upset that I don't want to use it on you… are you?" The filly asked so quietly that if not for the halls being empty the Pegasus may not have heard her clearly.

"It?" Scootaloo asked in a confused tone as she finished putting books into her saddlepack, closed her locker door, and looked at the unicorn. That's when it dawned on her on what she was referring to. "Oh! That…" She said with a mildly guilty look for a moment before she smiled.

"Nah… Well I mean it would be great if you'd consider it but I don't wanna pressure you or make you unhappy." She said sounding less confident the more she spoke.

"You didn't want to date me just for that… did you?" Sweetie Belle asked almost looking as if she was in tears by this point.

"What? No! No, no, no! Of course not! What in equestria would give you that idea?!" Scootaloo exclaimed almost sounding panicked as she exclaimed this words, leaned in, and kissed the filly passionately for a time before she broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. "Have a little more faith in me, Belle. I'm not that shallow, you know." She added softly as she ran a hoof along the unicorn's cheek.

Sweetie Belle reached up with her hoof and rubbed Scootaloo's hoof as she leaned into it. "Sorry, I guess the whole talk between me, you, and Applebloom made me think you were upset that I didn't want to use it." She remarked softly.

"Belle, I won't pressure you into anything you don't wanna do bu-" Scootaloo began only to glance up at the clock which caused her ears to flatten and a panicked look to flash across her facial features. "-uuuuuck! We're sooo late!" The Pegasus exclaimed, yanked Sweetie Belle by the hem of her saddle pack, and bolted down the hall in a fast paced hover towards their first period classroom.

The morning went by rather smoothly much to the relief of Sweetie Belle who was doing her best to avoid remaining in the halls as much as possible to avoid Diamond Tiara. Lunchtime was now in full swing and the crusaders were sitting down to eat together though Scootaloo looked as if something was on her mind as the three ate their lunch.

The unicorn watched as the Pegasus fidgeted in her seat almost as if she was restless. "Scootaloo, are you okay?" Sweetie Belle asked with genuine concern in her voice.

When she didn't respond, the unicorn reached a hoof out and placed it on the filly's shoulder though the result was nothing like she expected. The Pegasus's mane and tail stood on end as if she had been struck by lightning for a moment before she turned around and looked at Sweetie Belle with a nervous smile.

"Geez, Scoots. Yer jumpier than a june bug in july! What's gotten into ya?" Applebloom asked curiously as she took a bite of her apple slices.

"N-Nothing! Just really antsy today that's all." Scootaloo replied uneasily just as a group of ponies passed comprising two fillies and two colts which drew the teenage filly's attention until they were out of sight.

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom exchanged curious glances before they looked back at their mutual friend. "Ya sure yer okay thar, sugarcube?" Applebloom asked, almost for a moment sounding like her older sister.

"I'm fine! Geez." Scootaloo snapped and sighed. "Sorry. Look, I'm fine but I'm gonna go for a walk okay?" The Pegasus replied as she stood up and walked down the lunchroom aisle with her tail firmly pressed between her hind legs.

Applebloom continued to watch her friend walk away, the concern not leaving her facial features until she stood up. "Ah think Ah'm gonna go for a walk myself." The farm filly remarked only to take note of the nervous look in Sweetie Belle's eyes. "Oh don't ya worry. It's lunch, Diamond Tiara nor her goons are gonna try anythin' right now and Ah'll be back before lunch period is even over." The farm filly reassured her.

Upon hearing this however, the unicorn's worried expression became annoyed. "I'm not worried about Diamond Tiara or her stupid friends. What the hay would give you that idea?" She stated as she looked away from the farm pony with an annoyed expression.

Upon hearing this, Applebloom rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine. Ah'll be back." She said calmly and left to follow the Pegasus and found her outside the lunch room fumbling with a package.

"Need help with that?" The farm filly asked which caused Scootaloo to give a startled yelp as she fumbled the package and allowed it to slide across the floor towards the farm pony.

Upon reading the title written on the side of the box, Applebloom couldn't help but chuckle. "Had a feelin' this was the case." She remarked with a smirk.

"O-Oh shut the buck up!" The Pegasus retorted with a beat red blush.

Applebloom merely chuckled as she opened the box and handed it back to the Pegasus. "When did ya start?" Was all she asked as quietly as she could.

"Th-This morning." Scootaloo stuttered slightly and sighed as she looked at her friend with almost desperate eyes. "Please don't tell her I'm in heat, Applebloom! The last thing I need is her avoiding me like the plague for the next week less than a day after we started dating!" She pleaded as she poured two tablets from the box labeled "Heat-Relief" onto her hoof, popped them in her mouth, and swallowed hard.

"Ya know that stuff only suppresses the mating instinct and not yer scent right?" Applebloom remarked with a worried look at her friend.

"As long as it prevents me from jumping Sweetie Belle's di-" The Pegasus began to say only for Applebloom to stuff a hoof in her mouth as two fillies walked by. "Ya got a screw loose or somethin'?!" Applebloom hissed with a glare before she removed it.

"S-Sorry but it's not totally my fault ya know!" Scootaloo defended herself as she jittered in place.

"Ah know but wait, if ya started this mornin' how come Sweetie Belle didn't pick up the scent? You two slept in the same bed right?" Applebloom asked curiously.

"Sh-She did, but she didn't realize it. I got lucky that we were making out when I started putting off the scent so she thought it was the excitement of us making out. I didn't even realize I was putting off the scent or even in heat at the time until I started staring at her hindquarters shortly after second period started." Scootaloo replied feeling herself calm down somewhat now.

"It's only goin' to get worse as the week goes on, Scoots. Ya sure ya can keep it together all week? Even with these here over-the-counter meds ya got, the last few days are the absolute worst for any filly or mare." Applebloom warned.

"I'll be fine, Bloom." The Pegasus replied confidently, feeling much better now thanks to the medication finally taking full effect. "Just promise me you won't tell her." She added with a serious look at the farm pony.

Applebloom looked into her friend's eyes and sighed. "Fine, Ah won't tell her but you should. All it takes is you losin' control for a moment and yer scent will drive Belle to mount ya faster than Zap Apples disappear durin' the end of Zap Apple harvest." The filly whispered with a stern look at her friend before she turned around and returned to the lunchroom.

Scootaloo backed up against the wall next to the doors to the lunch room and allowed herself to slump to the floor. "Tell me something I don't know…" She remarked aloud dismally and sighed heavily as she placed her face between her front legs and groaned loudly.

Meanwhile, while this conversation was going on, Sweetie Belle resumed eating her lunch only to nearly choke on a carrot as she saw Diamond Tiara approach her. "What the buck do you want?" She asked with hostility in her voice as the bully sat down in the seat across from her.

"You got my fillyfriend locked up you bucking mule and you're going to pay for that." Diamond Tiara remarked aloud with a loathing glare at the unicorn.

"Nice to know I got under your skin somehow. I was beginning to think you were untouchable." Sweetie Belle jeered with a smirk only for the bully to swiftly reach across the table and slap her which instilled a fearful glance from her towards the bully.

"Shut the buck up and listen you little manure stain! I was nice and polite to you and I even let you buck Silver Spoon! And how do you repay me? By spitting on my generosity and trying to sick my daddy on me to get me locked up so I'm done playing the nice filly!" The bully snapped with a furious glare.

"I didn't want that and you know it! She seduced me with her heat scent!" Sweetie Belle hissed back, feeling her courage return though in small amounts.

"That's a load of horseapples and you know it. Females aren't affected by other female's heat scents. Even a dim-witted unicorn like you knows this." Diamond Tiara remarked with a glare.

"But I'm not…" Sweetie Belle defended herself only to trail off and sigh heavily. "But I'm not a normal filly." She finally said aloud sounding almost as if she was coming to terms with some hidden truth she had always known but refused to accept.

"Like I care if your normal or not! The only thing I care about is making your life a living hell until Silver Spoon comes back to me so you're gonna do everything I say or I'll make sure the next time anypony sees you, it'll be in a full-body cast in the Ponyville hospital!" Diamond Tiara said venomously as she took a paper out of her saddlepack and tossed it in Sweetie Belle's face. "Follow that list to the T or else." The bully added and prepared to stand up.

"Bet you wouldn't even care to know that thanks to you, I almost killed myself a month ago." Sweetie Belle said in a low tone which caused the pink filly to halt in place almost frozen.

For a moment, Sweetie Belle could have sworn she saw a look of genuine guilt on the bully's face but only for a moment as the bully turned to look at her. "You're right, I don't. Now get that list completed and the next time I see you, I might be nicer to you." She finished and walked away from the table.

With the bully gone, Sweetie Belle's first impulse was to burn the piece of paper with her magic but a ping of fear in her chest halted that impulse in its tracks. Instead, she levitated the paper up with her magic and read its contents.

To-do list:

1. Do my homework. (will be in your locker before the last period)

2. Report to Snails every morning before first period for any errands I want you to do.

3. Convince Twilight Sparkle to let Silver Spoon out of jail.

The list was short, but the unicorn knew none of the tasks would make her life any easier. "How the buck does she expect me to get Silver Spoon out of juvenile jail?" Sweetie Belle asked herself incredulously and sighed just as Applebloom trotted up and sat down next to her.

"What's that?" The farm filly asked curiously as she peered her gaze over to the paper the unicorn was levitating only for Sweetie Belle to yank it out of her sight and ball it up.

"N-Nothing." Sweetie Belle lied as she put the balled up piece of paper into her saddlepack.

"That ain't from Diamond Tiara is it?" Applebloom asked with a suspicious glance at the filly.

"N-No! Just something personal I don't want you to see now drop it!" Sweetie Belle said almost rudely as she turned her gaze away and stuffed another carrot into her mouth.

Applebloom looked at her friend now with the utmost concern and placed a hoof on her shoulder. "Hey, there ain't nothin' wrong with admittin' she's put the fear of her in ya. Just tell me what she did." She said in the most comforting tone possible.

Upon hearing this, Sweetie Belle snapped a glare at the farm pony. "For the last time, I'm not afraid of her and I don't need your help with anything!" The unicorn shouted, abruptly stood up from the lunch table, and walked down the aisle past Scootaloo without so much as a "Hello".

Scootaloo sat down at the lunch table and gave an annoyed look at the farm pony who went on the defensive. "H-Hey! Ah didn't do anythin' but try to be supportive of her!" She exclaimed in a mildly panicked tone as she looked about the lunchroom for a certain bully. "Ah think Diamond Tiara showed her ugly face while we were in the hall and poor Belle's plum terrified of her but won't admit it." She added and sighed only to snap her gaze at the Pegasus who slammed her hoof into the table angrily.

"I shouldn't of left her alone!" Scootaloo exclaimed in anger.

"We're both at fault, Scoots." Applebloom said in the most comforting tone she could muster.

"Easy for you to say, it's not your job to protect her!" Scootaloo snapped and sighed.

"Since when does the title of fillyfriend entail ya bein' her personal bodyguard?" Applebloom asked with a skeptical glance at the Pegasus.

"Since I said it did, that's when." Scootaloo growled as she abruptly stood up and went to look for Sweetie Belle.

Applebloom merely plopped her face into her front hooves and groaned aloud once the Pegasus left her sight. "These two are gonna end up makin' me wanna stay single for the rest of my life." The earth pony remarked aloud dismally just before the end of lunch bell rang out.

Sweetie Belle walked out of the School's front doors alongside of the many other fillies and colts at the end of the school day, noting the tons of homework she needed to catch up on… plus Diamond Tiara's. "I'm not scared of her… I just don't want to deal with her if I don't do what she says." The unicorn told herself softly only to groan aloud at how lame an excuse that was.

"Ugh! What the buck is my problem?! Why am I even carrying her crap back home when I should just toss it into the nearest trashcan?!" Sweetie Belle fumed aloud.

"Who are you talking about, Sweetie Belle?" A male voice asked which caused the unicorn to whirl around and see Spike walking up behind her.

"Oh, it just you… Look its nothing, okay?" Sweetie Belle replied in a less than confident tone until she looked at the young drake curiously. "Say, why are you here?" She asked curiously hoping to quickly change the topic.

"Well, Twilight never unenrolled me so I thought I'd attend today and well…" Spike began to say only to trail off with a mildly nervous expression.

"Well what?" The filly asked with curious look. "And why do you look all worried all the sudden?" She asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the drake gave a mildly panicked expression for a moment before he smirked. "I'm not worried about anything but I was thinking about attending on a daily basis, just for the school year, ya know?" Spike replied almost sounding as if he was hiding something which the keen unicorn picked up on quickly.

"Spike, is there something you're not telling me?" Sweetie Belle asked with a concerned look.

Once again a flicker of panic flashed over the drake's facial features only to be masked by the same smirk. "Nah! I thought it would be wise to expand my academic horizons. I mean, I'm not going to be Twilight's royal assistant forever, right?" He asked.

"I suppose not…" Sweetie Belle remarked with an unsure look at the drake before he jogged ahead of her. "See you later, Sweetie Belle! I gotta get back to the castle!" Spike called out as he ran down the sidewalk and was soon lost in the crowd of colts and fillies who were still leaving the school.

"There you are!" Another familiar voice called out but Sweetie Belle knew who this voice belonged to as she looked to her left and almost stumbled onto her rump as the Pegasus locked lips with her so suddenly.

"Mmmph! Scoots! You almost knocked me over! What's gotten into you today? You're more hyper and affectionate than usual and that's saying something since we've only been dating for about a day or so now." Sweetie Belle asked curiously.

"Maybe she's just edgin' to get ya home and into bed-Ow!" Applebloom jeered with a smirk only to receive a hoof to the shoulder from Scootaloo.

"Not...helping!" The Pegasus hissed with a glare.

"Okay, when did you and Scoots switch personalities? Usually you're the one to knock Scootaloo down a peg when she gets overly perverted." Sweetie Belle asked with a skeptic look.

"She's been like this ever since she found out we were dating." Scootaloo added with an annoyed look at the earth pony who gave a guilty look.

"Ah'm sorry! Ah can't help being a little jealous is all." Applebloom remarked as she rubbed her left front leg with her right nervously. "Y'all are an item now and Ah'm still single so Ah guess Ah'm a tad jealous of that." She added and sighed.

"Oh, sorry." Sweetie Belle said with an apologetic look. "I guess I didn't really think of how this would affect you. I mean, your two best friends kissing and being affectionate with one another. I guess that would make me a little jealous too." She finished and allowed a smile to wash over her face as she reached out and nuzzled the farm pony causing her to blush and yank away.

"What in tarnation are ya doin', Belle?!" The farm pony exclaimed as her face burned redder than a cheery.

"Uh, yeah, what gives?" Scootaloo chimed in with a jealous look at the farm pony.

"Oh I thought that since she was all jealous of me being affectionate of you, that she just needed a little affection of her own." The unicorn remarked with a smirk which caused Applebloom's face to burn even redder if possible.

"Not funny, Belle!" Applebloom replied with a mild glare as she continued to blush though Scootaloo couldn't help but giggle at this.

"Oh get off your high horse, Bloom. It was a joke." Sweetie Belle replied with a smirk as she walked away.

"A joke only a colt would pull…" Applebloom muttered under her breath though not quietly enough as the unicorn whirled around and glared at her. It was only then she regretted muttering those words when she realized this. "Ah-Ah didn't mean it, Belle!" The farm pony stammered.

"So what? I'm nothing more than perverted colt to you now?" Sweetie Belle remarked with a hurt expression.

"N-No! Ah just meant that colts are usually the ones to flirt around with more than one filly!" Applebloom tried to defend herself but quickly realized she was digging herself a deeper hole by saying that.

Fortunately for the three, the crowd that was once around them had disbursed into a fraction of what it once was with the remaining colts and fillies a fair distance away from the three as Sweetie Belle continued to stare down the farm pony who was struggling to recover from her huge mistake.

It was then that Scootaloo walked up beside her lover and glared alongside of the unicorn."Not cool, Bloom. Not... Cool." She stated simply and ushered Sweetie Belle away leaving the farm pony alone.

"Ah… Ah…" Applebloom tried to say only the words wouldn't come.

"Ah didn't mean it…"

Both fillies agreed that it was for the best to avoid Rarity for now since the last thing they wanted to do was explain to the unicorn why they were upset with Applebloom and quickly trotted upstairs to the unicorn's bedroom and closed the door behind them.

"I can't believe her! It was an innocent joke, and she lashes out at you with that stupid remark!" Scootaloo fumed as she tossed her saddlepack to the floor.

Sweetie Belle however was no longer upset, but she wasn't exactly calm either. "I don't think she meant for me to hear her say it." She remarked calmly as she placed her saddlepack on the floor along side of the Pegasus's.

"Don't change the fact that she said it! She knows how sensitive you are to that topic!" Scootaloo replied as she rummaged through her saddlepack for her homework.

"Maybe she's right...I have been behaving a lot like a colt for the last month or so. I'm able to be affected by a female's heat scent, I've been staring at filly's rumps like crazy all last month at school, and now I'm dating a filly." Sweetie Belle surmised and sighed aloud as she laid her body on the floor and rested her head on her forelegs.

"Oh come off it, Belle! I behave more like a colt than you! Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a tomcolt." Scootaloo reassured her lover as she walked over, laid next to her, and nuzzled her body against Sweetie Belle's.

"Except tomcolts don't have a penis." Sweetie Belle replied and sighed aloud once more.

Scootaloo however upon hearing this word have a sudden violent twitch that the filly couldn't help but notice. "You okay?" She asked with a concerned look at her partner who suddenly looked as ansty as she had during lunch.

"J-Just fine!" Scootaloo squeaked as she pressed her tail firmly between her hind legs so hard she could feel the strands of hair on her tail poking against her fillyhood almost painfully.

"L-Listen, it isn't what you have between your legs that defines who are, it's what you make of your life that does." She said doing her best to remain calm despite the growing urge to roll Sweetie Belle over and ride her reverse cowpony until she blew a load of her foal-giving seed in between her haunches.

Upon hearing this, Sweetie Belle found herself feeling much better and smiled softly. "Thanks Scoots. It's nice to know not every pony judges who I am for the dick between my legs." She said sweetly only to notice the Pegasus twitch again and moments later take note of a particular scent in the room. "Uh, Scoots, what's that smell?" The filly asked curiously as she felt a familiar haze begin to cloud her thoughts.

Scootaloo's eyes shrunk to pinpricks realizing her tail was now high in the air and quickly slammed it back down between her hind legs so hard that she couldn't help but yelp slightly at the twinge of pain from basically slapping her foalhole with a switch.

The moment the Pegasus had done this, the familiar haze faded from Sweetie Belle's thoughts as her mind cleared at which point she took note of the fact that her penis had become erect under her. "Why the buck?" Sweetie Belle asked aloud in utter confusion and annoyance.

"Wh-What's wrong?" Scootaloo asked nervously. "A-Actually you know what, nevermind, I don't wanna know. I'm gonna get some fresh air, okay?" She said hastily as she stood up and quickly made her way for the door.

"Sounds good." Sweetie Belle said as she stood up herself, looked under herself, and groaned. "It'll give me time to figure out why this little annoyance has decided to suddenly become erect and get rid of it." The unicorn added with a glare.

Upon hearing this however, Scootaloo halted in place, her tail instinctively raising up as she turned to look back at Sweetie Belle, almost as if she was in pain. "E-Erect? Y-You mean your dick is erect?" Scootaloo stuttered out, her body shaking furiously now as her rational thoughts waged war with her female instincts to mate with the male her eyes saw before her yet her thoughts screamed otherwise.

"Leave the room, Leave the room, leave the room!!!"

Scootaloo's voice shrieked in her mind but her body didn't budge nor did her tail seem to respond to her command to go down between her hind legs again.

"Yeah and…" Sweetie Belle began but the familiar haze clouded her thoughts once again. "W-Wait a second...this feeling...it's familiar." Sweetie Belle remarked aloud in a mild daze as her nose led her eyes to the source of the scent which was quickly causing her mind to be cloudy and her dick to throb painfully.

As if fighting some form of mind control, the unicorn shook her head violently which cleared her head long enough to put two and two together. "Scootaloo, you're in heat!" She exclaimed as she pointed a hoof at the Pegasus whom gulped loudly. "L-Lower your tail!" Sweetie Belle stuttered out as the haze quickly clouded her mind once again with a vengeance.

"I-I don't want to. I mean, I want to! No, wait, that's a lie, I don't want to! I mean, Ugh!" Scootaloo exclaimed, stumbling over her words as she slammed her eyes shut and used all her willpower to command to her tail to lower…

But it refused.

Sweetie Belle tried to resist, she tried to ignore what the scent was telling her to do but her body seemed to move with a will of its own towards the Pegasus who opened her eyes, gulped loudly, and continued to shake.

It was then that Scootaloo could hear Rarity walking past, humming a merry tune. "R-Rarity… H-Help..." Scootaloo whispered halfheartedly unable to take her eyes off Sweetie Belle's throbbing member as the unicorn approached her.

The humming stopped shortly as the unicorn passed the door. "What in Equestria is that smell…" Rarity mused aloud for a moment, gasped, and used her magic to swing open the door to her little sister's bedroom to reveal Sweetie Belle climbing on top of Scootaloo's back less than seconds from performing the deed.

Without thinking, The unicorn yanked Sweetie Belle away from Scootaloo, placed her on the bed as gently as possible, and then yanked the Pegasus out of the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Scootaloo shrieked over and over as Rarity carried her down the hall to the bathroom, placed her on the floor gently, and turned on the faucet to the tub.

"Stop apologizing, I know it wasn't your fault but you should have told me!" Rarity censured the Pegasus whom sobbed loudly with her tail curled around her as she sat in place.

Scootaloo was silent for a time as her sobs came to a slow halt and stepped into the tub of water and gave a loud shiver and soft sigh of relief as the freezing cold water soothed the burning desire her in loins. "I-I thought you'd make me stay away from Sweetie Belle if I did." The teenage filly said as she hung her head in shame as she sat in the tub.

Rarity sighed as she walked up to the pegasus and ran a hoof across the top of her mane."The thought never crossed my mind but I must insist that we take precautions to avoid this happening again. When did you start?" The mare asked curiously.

"Th-This morning." The Pegasus replied folded her ears at the look of disapproval on the unicorn's face.

"Show a little more restraint! The first day of a mare's heat is by far the easiest to deal with." Rarity remarked with a disappointed stare.

Scootaloo sighed once again. "I've never been good at dealing with my heat cycles. In fact, the first time I got one, I bucked featherweight within the first few hours of it starting." Scootaloo recalled and sighed once more. "Luckily for me, he wasn't fertile yet…" She added with a grimace.

"That would explain why I found this in your saddlepack." Came Sweetie Belle's voice from the doorway as she held the box of "Heat-relief" pills.

"Sweetie Belle, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-" She began to say only for the unicorn to cut her off as she locked lips with her.

Sweetie Belle leaned back and smiled softly at her. "Shh, don't worry about it, it's over now." She whispered before she turned to look at Rarity. "Thanks sis." She added with a genuinely grateful smile.

"You best be grateful I was walking by your room, if I had been any later you may have already-"

"Yes, I get it. Drop it please." Sweetie Belle said testily, cutting off her big sister and sighing.

"Well, on the bright side, the next time this occurs, you should be more resilient to its effects." Rarity stated hoping to make the situation less grim.

Both fillies looked at Rarity with a confused look which caused the unicorn to scowl. "Honestly, what do they teach you ponies in school these days…" Rarity remarked aloud and sighed. "The more a colt is exposed to a female's heat scent, the more his body develops an immunity to its effects. Usually by the third or fourth exposure, the colt is all but fully immune to the effects on a mental level."

"On a mental level?" Scootaloo asked looking more confused than ever.

"I think I know what she means. This was my second time being exposed to a heat scent and I could snap myself out of the haze briefly." Sweetie Belle explained.

"The second time?" Rarity asked with a suspicious look.

"S-Silver Spoon blindsided me the first time…" The unicorn stuttered out and scowled at the memory.

"So that's how they seduced you! I always thought it was the blackmail that got them to force you into it." Rarity exclaimed in outrage as she stood up and gritted her teeth violently.

"It's in the past. Not like dwelling on it will do us any good." Sweetie Belle remarked aloud negatively.

"Past or not, that was heat-induced rape! There are laws against that kind of thing, Sweetie Belle!" Rarity fumed as she paced back and forth.

"Wait, so I was raping Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo asked with a horrified expression on her face now.

Upon hearing this, the unicorn's ears flattened with a guilt stricken face as she rushed over to Scootaloo and petted her comfortingly. "No, no, no, darling! You were merely acting on your base instincts! There's a big difference!" Rarity clarified as she continued to pet the filly.

"Yeah, you were acting nothing like Silver Spoon was. She seemed in full control of herself." Sweetie Belle chimed in.

"A rich brat like that was most likely on some kind of prescription strength anti-heat medication." Rarity remarked with a scowl.

"She did mention being on some kind of anti-pregnancy potion." The filly remarked aloud thoughtfully and sighed.

"Anyways, let's put this matter behind us." Rarity said after a short silence between the three as a smile washed over her face until she looked at Sweetie Belle with an unsure expression. "Um, Sweetie Belle… Scootaloo is going to start going pruney if she stays in the tub much longer." Rarity said trailing off as if trying not to sound impolite to the filly.

It took a few seconds but the unicorn's tact didn't fall on deaf ears as Sweetie Belle caught on. "Oh, right, she's still giving off a pretty strong scent under that water I bet… I'll just wait in my bedroom." The unicorn replied with a mildly uneasy expression and quickly left the bathroom.
