Part 1
Rumble gave a pained cry as he was pinned against the locker in the colts' locker room. "The buck is wrong with you?!" The colt exclaimed in a pained tone as he glared at the pony who had slammed him into it with their face inches from his.
"Out with it, Rumble! What in the buck do Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have on Belle?!" Applebloom shouted into the colts face.
"How the buck should I know?! They don't tell me horseapples!" Rumble replied only to flinch as the farm pony's hoof slammed into the locker barely an inch from his face.
"Then why in the blueberry buck did Sweetie Belle give you a note?!" Applebloom exclaimed, bit onto his hoofball shirt, and slammed him back into the locker.
"Ow! If you weren't a filly, I would have already beat you senseless by now!" Rumble shouted angrily.
"That's the worst bluff I've heard since Rainbow Dash said she could fly across the world in ten seconds flat!" Applebloom retorted still glaring at him.
"Well, she did it in fifteen." Scootaloo interjected only to give an apprehensive look at the farm filly as she snapped her gaze at the pegasus then back to Rumble.
"Yer not helpin' Scootaloo." Applebloom said agitatedly.
"Hurts I walked by just before you interrogated him." Scootaloo remarked under her breath irritably.
FLASH BACK:
"Where could she be?" Scootaloo thought to herself in a worried tone as she walked down the halls of Ponyville high school as she looked for her fellow crusader.
"Whaaa!" Rumble exclaimed as Applebloom suddenly bucked him back into the colt's locker room a mere second after he walked out which caused Scootaloo to look over and gawk in shock at the farm filly.
Applebloom looked to her right, then to her left, and noticed Scootaloo gawking at her. "If yergonna help, get your flank in here now or act like you saw nothin'!" Applebloom said in a threatening tone before she walked into the colts' locker room.
END FLASHBACK
"Out with it ya varmint! What's your connection to the snob squad?!" Applebloom exclaimed as she reared her right hoof back with the full intention of slamming it into the colts face if he didn't answer within the next five seconds.
The colt didn't answer at first until Applebloom made a motion of thrusting her hoof forward at which point the colt flung his hooves in front of his face. "They blackmailed me first!" He exclaimed in a fearful tone which caused the farm filly to halt her hoof.
"How?!" Applebloom asked as she slammed her right hoof into the locker an inch from his face again.
"I can't tell you that!" Rumble exclaimed fearfully from behind his hooves as he quivered in fear of the farm pony.
"Then Ah guess ya don't mind if I buck ya so hard in the family jewels you'll go sterl then." Applebloom remarked venomously.
"Y-You're bluffing!" Rumble stuttered out as he timidly lowered his hooves to see the farm filly rearing her left hind hoof back as she used her front hooves as a brace.
"Last chance rumble! Out with it!" Applebloom exclaimed as she made a motion with her hoof.
Upon seeing this, the colt flung his hooves to cover his prized part. "Silver Spoon tried to get me to buck her but I couldn't get it up because I'm not attracted to fillies!" The colt sputtered out in a frantic tone much to the shock of both crusaders who gawked at him.
"So they blackmailed you for being gay?" Scootaloo asked after a short awkward silence between the three.
"Don't seem like much of a blackmail material to me." Applebloom added as she backed away from the colt and stood on all four hooves and allowed Rumble to get down to all fours.
"It is when your parents are anti-gay." Rumble said as he whipped the sweat off his forehead.
"So you really don't know what they have on Sweetie Belle?" Applebloom asked curiously.
"N-No. I swear I don't!" Rumble exclaimed with a fearful look at the farm filly who looked as if she was ready to slam him against the locker again.
"Back off, Bloom. This requires a more feminine touch." Scootaloo said as she gently moved the farm filly to the side who huffed at her.
"Ah'm plenty feminine!" The farm filly retorted bitterly as she blushed slightly.
"Uh, you realize that I said I wasn't attracted to fillies right?" Rumble said with a slightly worried look at the Pegasus who walked up to her.
"Duh, I wanted Applebloom to back off so you would stop acting like such a wimp. What did you think I would do?" Scootaloo asked with a slightly confused look.
"I don't know, seduce me?" Rumble said only to find a hoof sailing a crossed his face as the Pegasus blushed beet red in fury.
"What is it with ponies in this school and thinking I'm some kind of slut because I have a porn collection?!" Scootaloo exclaimed in frustration.
"Wait, you have a porn collection?" Applebloom asked in slight shock.
"I uh...um...who said porn collection? eh-heh…" Scootaloo said aloud sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head with a hoof.
Rumble stared at the two for a moment as he nursed his sore cheek and sighed. "Look, I really know nothing but if I were you two, I'd take a look at the Foal Free Press." Rumble said in a calm tone as he trotted past them.
"Why the Foal Free Press?" Applebloom asked curiously.
"Well, when they blackmailed me, they threatened to put my secret in it, so they must know somepony in there, right?" Rumble said casually and looked at Scootaloo. "By the way, you hit like a filly." The colt jeered with a smirk which caused the pegasus who stiffen up and glare at him.
"Ah wouldn't tick her off if Ah were you rumble, ya think Ah was bad? This Pegasus don't pull any punches." Applebloom warned with a smug grin.
Upon hearing this, the colts smug grin vanished and gave a nervous chuckle. "A-Anyways, chances are, whatever they got on your friend, it'll probably hit the morning edition anytime if she doesn't do what those two want her to at any point." Rumble said before he continued to walk towards the door.
"Wait, why'd they let you off the hook then? Aren't you worried they will still publish your secret?" Applebloom asked curiously.
"Of course I am but as long as I don't cross them, they won't publish it. Oh, and you guys won't say anything either, right?" The colt said with a nervous expression.
"Nah but Ah'd come out sooner or later, if the only ponies you're worried about findin' out is yer parents, beatin' em' to the punch outta spite the buck out of em'." Applebloom said with a smirk.
"Y-Yeah, I thought of that too but I'm not ready yet. Anyways, I'll see you two around." Rumble said as he quickly trotted out of the locker room.
Now alone, Scootaloo gave a relieved sigh."Applebloom, you're scary when you're ticked off, you know that?" She said with a nervous smile.
"Ah'm not done bein' ticked off yet, Scootaloo. Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon are gonna rue the day they came between our friendship like this." Applebloom remarked in a low tone as she trotted out of the locker room, leaving the Pegasus alone.
"I can't help thinking they aren't the reason, just the catalyst that set this off." Scootaloo remarked aloud and sighed heavily. "Seeing Sweetie Belle in so much pain...it's almost too much to bare." The Pegasus remarked aloud in a saddened voice before she trotted out of the locker room herself.
As final bell rang out for the school day, Sweetie Belle walked along the halls of the school with a sense of dread but also with several other conflicting feelings. "Even though I hate the thing and want to be rid of it, Silverspoon being the first filly I actively use it with… I don't know. It feels wrong somehow." Sweetie Belle thought to herself as she walked out of the School's front doors and walked along the sidewalk.
"It's almost like I feel I will lose something special if I go through with this." She remarked aloud without realizing it.
The feeling lasted briefly as she scoffed at the idea. "Right, like any male values their dick virginity." She said aloud sourly but she still couldn't help but continue to feel this way for a time until she let out a cry of frustration.
"Ugh! Why am I even conflicted about this?! So what if Silver Spoon wants me to rut her raw with this thing! It's not like it means horseapples to me anyways!" The unicorn thought to herself dramatically in frustration as she made a left turn not paying attention to the fact that Scootaloo was right around the corner…
*Whack!*
Both filly's snouts connected simultaneously… along with their lips.
It took a few seconds for both fillies to realize exactly what had happened but as the realization set it, both filly's eyes snapped wide in shock and their faces seemed to fill up with a red color from the bottom of their mouths to their tips of their heads until they yanked themselves apart.
"W-Watch where the buck you're walking Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle blurted out in a flustered tone only to look at the Pegasus whom seemed to have a single hoof placed on her lips with a zoned out expression.
"I kissed Sweetie Belle…"
"Hello! Equestria to Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in a flustered tone as she reached over and tapped the Pegasus on the head which snapped her out of her zoned out state.
"Oh, right! S-Sorry! I was lost in thought and wasn't paying attention to what was in front of me." Scootaloo said sheepishly, still blushing as she rubbed the back of her head with her left hoof.
"You and me both…" Sweetie Belle remarked aloud softly and sighed.
"You say something, Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo asked curiously, having not picked up on what the unicorn had said due to how softly she had spoken.
"N-Nope! Nothing!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in a semi-panicked tone and walked past the filly.
Scootaloo watched for walk away for a moment before she spoke. "Hey, Sweetie Belle. I-I know we're not on the best of terms right now but I was kind of wondering if you could stop by the clubhouse tomorrow?" Scootaloo asked still blushing.
The unicorn halted in her hoofsteps upon hearing this question and sighed dejectedly. "Look, I'm going through alot right now and I don't think being in close proximity with the two ponies who ruined my life is the best thing for me right now." Sweetie Belle remarked aloud not in a resentful tone but rather a sorrowful one.
Upon hearing this, Scootaloo lowered her head and sighed. "Right, I get it. You know that we never meant for this to happen though right? We were just trying to help you get into Celestia's School for gifted unicorns."
Sweetie Belle took a deep breath and sighed heavily. "Yeah, I know." She said solemnly before she continued trotting away.
Unknown to the unicorn, Scootaloo kicked the ground in frustration. "I was kind of wondering if you could stop by the clubhouse tomorrow?" Scootaloo said aloud in a mocking tone to herself and stomped on the sidewalk hard. "I'll never be able to tell her at this rate…" The Pegasus remarked aloud depressingly as she trotted off in the other direction.
"You know that we never meant for this to happen though right?"
Scootaloo's words played out over and over in the Unicorn's mind and despite Sweetie Belle's efforts, she couldn't shake the guilt that came with them for blaming her friends. "Why am I feeling guilty for blaming them?" Sweetie Belle asked out loud in confusion before she stopped walking and stared at the ground.
"I wasn't the one who stole Twilight's spell book!" She exclaimed aloud in frustration. "I wasn't the one who suggested I cast the stupid spell!" She shouted this time, feeling her temper flare up. "I wasn't the one who interrupted me in the middle of casting it!" Sweetie Belle nearly shrieked as her horn glowed with magic now.
"So why the buck do I feel guilty about blaming them for it all when it's their faaaault!" Sweetie Belle shrieked at the top of her longs, extending the sound of her final word in sync with a magical blast to the ground in front of her.
The unicorn huffed and puffed while sweat dribbled down her forehead as she stared at the aftermath of her frustration in the form of a small crater in front of her for a time before she lowered her head and sighed dejectedly. "I just want things to go back to the way they were… Before all this happened." She said aloud softly as she wiped a tear from her cheek.
Suddenly the unicorn had an epiphany a few moments after she said this as she recalled her conversation from school today…
FLASH BACK:
"Let's say a spell changed a pony in a certain way but it wouldn't have been permanent if the pony in question hadn't been interrupted. What would happen if the pony went back in time and stopped themselves from being interrupted?" Sweetie Belle clarified for the teacher.
"Ah, well that brings us to law number three. The events of the past can be altered but the event itself will always occur. So let's say you stopped the pony from being interrupted and the spell was completed. The original event that occurred could still happen to the pony or would happen to a different pony entirely." The teacher remarked calmly.
END FLASH BACK
In this moment Sweetie Belle looked down the street, noting the fact that Diamond Tiara's house was within view, she then turned to look in the other direction towards her mentors castle.
"Twilight once told me of a time when she went to the past to stop Starlight Glimmer from changing the past when she used a scroll with a time travel spell inscribed onto it..." Sweetie Belle remarked aloud as she felt her chest turn ice cold at the mere thought of what she was growing more and more inclined to attempt made itself apparent to her.
"I wonder if it still works…" She whispered and turned to look at Diamond Tiara's house once more, channeled magic into her horn, disappeared in a flash of magic, and reappeared in yet another flash of magic inside Twilight's castle.
"So...If I was an Alicorn and wanted to hide a scroll with the power to alter time and space… where would I hide it?" Sweetie Belle asked herself curiously aloud.
As if comically, the unicorn rolled her eyes, channeled magic into her horn and levitated a book from one shelf entitled:
STARSWIRL'S THEORY ON THE ART OF TIME AND SPACE MAGIC
AND THEIR EFFECTS
And opened the book to find a half torn scroll inside. "Twilight, you're far too predictable." Sweetie Belle remarked aloud almost deviously as she levitated the scroll in front of her.
"So are you." The Alicorn's voice said which caused the teenage filly to comically seize up and stare over at her mentor.
"How did you know-?"
"Never mind that for now." Twilight said cutting off the unicorn as she walked over and stood a few feet from her. "Sweetie Belle, this isn't the way. Don't you remember what I told you about Starlight Glimmer?" Twilight said in a saddened tone.
"Th-This is different! I'm not trying to ruin somepony's life! I'm trying to fix mine!" Sweetie Belle protested.
"So let's say you successfully go back and change the past, what about law number three?" Twilight said in an unusually calm tone.
"Law number three?" Sweetie Belle remarked aloud in confusion at first until she recalled it. "As long as it isn't me, I don't care who gets stuck with this curse!" Sweetie Belle replied resentfully.
"That's a selfish way of thinking but I can't stop you and you know it. You've already studied the scroll enough to know the general execution and principal during our short conversation using the quick study spell I taught you." Twilight said solemnly and sighed.
The unicorn's chest went ice-cold upon hearing this her mentor knew her far too well as tears welled up in her eyes. "Twilight...please don't try to stop me. I just want a normal life… is that too much to ask for?!" Sweetie Belle cried out as she slammed her eyes shut, shook her head, snapped them open, and stared at her mentor with a deep sense of desperation in them.
"Sweetie Belle, I have taken great strides to make sure you live as normal a life as you possibly can but if this isn't enough for you. If being able to live a reasonably normal life as a filly despite what you have between her legs being just as natural as what you were born with isn't enough. Then go ahead. Cast the spell. I just hope you're prepared to deal with the consequences of your actions." Twilight said in a soft yet saddened tone, turned about-face, and walked away.
"This isn't natural, Twilight! This is a work of magic!" Sweetie Belle protested with a glare at her mentors back which caused her to stop walking away and look at her.
"You still have much to learn…" Was all the Alicorn said before she turned to face forward once more and resumed walking away only to halt once more as a sudden gust of wind and sounds of magic erupted from behind her causing Twilight to turn around and stare at the empty space that was once occupied by Sweetie Belle as the half torn scroll slowly floated to the floor...
