Sweetie Belle Get You!

I was sitting at the kitchen table while Rarity was cooking my favourite egg and salad sandwiches for afternoon tea. My sister looked very similar to me. We almost had the same mane colour and had a whiter coat than me by an almost indistinguishable amount. I had my homework spread out on the dining room table, but I found it hard to focus as I was still thinking about Mr Human and how I could get him to love me.

Cheerilee had pulled us aside during class to explain some things she wanted to clear up about our sex lesson. She explained that we should not have sex with anyone and that if they did, it would be illegal and they would go to jail. This made me feel a bit sad, because Mr Human was an adult and I wanted to try it with him. I decided to see if my sister could teach me anything that would help.

"Sis, we were taught about sex in school yesterday." I stated to her as she looked around the kitchen doing multiple jobs with utensils and food using her magic.

She gave me a surprised look. "Oh, I see. Give me a minute darling, we should sit down and talk about this over lunch." With that she quickly finished, put our sandwiches on our plates and levitated them onto the table.

"Okay sister, I had some questions." I claimed

"Oh of course you do dear, it's something you had to learn someday. Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "Mostly I don't understand the difference between sex and love."

"Oh I see, well no one really knows Sweetie, but I think it's when you have someone you get along with so much, you want them to have your foals and start a family, that's what many ponies believe love is."

"But isn't that what sex is too?" I asked taking a bite out of my yummy sandwich.

Rarity looked like she was thinking hard about it. "Well ponies can have babies with other ponies and not even love them, that's why there are so many single parents. I guess what I mean Sweetie is to just be careful, make sure somepony loves you back or they will hurt you and leave you with a foal to look after."

"Okay sis I will be careful." I agreed.

"But Sweetie, you have many more years before you can make that decision. Little foals like you are not mature enough to know and can't get pregnant yet."

"Okay thanks sis." I smile and nuzzle her as I go back to my homework.

"Just let me be clear Sweetie, don't let anyone try to convince you to have sex before you are an adult. That is a crime." Rarity felt the need to elaborate.

"Why though, If I can't get pregnant isn't there no problem worrying about being left with a foal?" I asked

Rarity got off of her chair and hugged me in my chair.

"Because other then that it could really harm you, you will get a disease and die, that's why anyone who does that to you is a monster." She said with almost a scolding tone.

With that I decided I better drop the topic, but I felt like my sister was lying to me.

"Okay sis, I'll wait until I'm an adult." I said while not sure myself about that promise.

"Okay good girl, I love you." she said sounding relieved.

"Love you too sis." Then I gave her a kiss on the cheek.

All throughout working on the rest of my homework, I decided that I wanted to at least try to get Mr Human to love me. If I couldn't then I suppose I could wait. But then if I wait Fluttershy will get him first.

"Ahhhh!" I screamed in frustration at my dilemma and let my head fall on the table.

"You okay Sweetie?" Rarity called out.

"Yes sis it's just this homework is hard." I lied. It was my fault that I couldn't focus.

"Would you like some help dear?" Rarity asked.

"Can I just clear my head and visit my friends for a bit?" I asked.

"Okay Sweetie, but don't be coming home after dark again, do it again and I'll have to ground you."

"Yes sis."

I went up to my room and got my cutie mark crusader cloak. Not that I planned to do any crusading but it would look unusual for Rarity to see me leave without it. I then headed out the door and to the club house.

I climbed the ladder and found my friends doing what they do best. Scootaloo was practising some martial arts while wearing a white uniform and Applebloom was working on some strange contraption I couldn't identify.

"Hi girls." I greeted "How was your homework?"

"Easy" Scootaloo answered. "What took you so long?"

"Things on my mind, I'm distracted." I said.

"Yeah what about?" Scootaloo asked as she did a somersault into the air landing perfectly on her back hooves.

"Doesn't matter, what are you working on Applebloom?" I deflected.

"It's a new bed for Mr Human, it's going to have to be huge. Ah realized after ah built it ah wouldn't be able to fit it through any door, so ah have to dissemble it again."

"Not worth the effort if you ask me, just let him sleep on some hay." Scootaloo said bluntly.

"HEY!" I squealed angrily.

"Yes hay" Scootaloo repeated. "No need to shout Sweetie."

"Why are you all so mean to him?" I demanded.

"Ah’m not mean, ah’m always happy to help our new apple family member." Applebloom defended.

"Well I just don't really like him, he's not a pony like the rest of us, plus he's rude, remember?" Scootaloo explained.

"He's not rude you all just don't know him like I do." I argued.

"Oh no Sweetie you don't..." Scootaloo started to ask.

I decided to not go so far as to say love as my friends would take me less seriously.

"Yeah I have a crush on him."

"Wha?" Applebloom dropped her hammer in surprise.

"No way" Scootaloo said in disbelief.

"Yeah I know that makes me weird." I confessed.

After their shocked glaces wore off a bit Applebloom was the first to talk.

"Maybe a bit Sweetie, why?" Applebloom asked.

"I don't know, I just like him and all that talk at school about love and sex got me thinking."

Scootaloo looked at me judgingly. "Sweetie that's gross on so many levels."

"No it's not! Your close mindedness is gross!" I yelled staring at Scootaloo intensely.

"Well ah’m not gonna say you shouldn't at least try and see if your feelings are real Sweetie, but he's a lot older and bigger then ya, ah can't really see it workin'" Applebloom commented.

"Yeah I think you are making a mistake Sweetie, besides we are too young for love or sex remember, not that I ever really got the difference, but oh well I'm in no hurry." Scootaloo explained.

"I am in a hurry though" I argued.

"Why?" Applebloom asked.

"Because he's trying to date Fluttershy." I fumed angrily.

"Well that's too bad Sweetie, if he loves her then there is nothing you can do about it." Scootaloo consoled.

"I'm not giving up yet, I just need him to date me one time and I'll prove he will love me." I said confidently.

"Please don't Sweetie, you will make a fool of yourself." Scootaloo said.

"No, no, trust me I still have a chance, he dated Fluttershy and I think she rejected him." I said excitedly.

I giggled a bit and admitted. "I maybe spied on him a bit."

"Oh, okay then, may as well try" Applebloom suggested. "Actually maybe I could leave a love letter on his bed for you."

"Hmm maybe?" I considered.

"That's too sappy." Scootaloo said.

"If you want him you need to be a big pony and just ask him to his face, show him you mean it." Scootaloo said getting pumped and excitedly throwing a few punches.

I looked at Scootaloo in surprise at her change of heart.

"Hey don't get me wrong, I still think it's gross, but it's your decision Sweetie and I'll help if I can."

"Thank you guys, you are the best friends ever." I cooed hugging them happily.

"Ya welcome Sweetie, just don't forget us if he becomes yer new coltfriend, promise."

"I promise." I broke my hug with them with a hopeful smile on my face.

"Well I better go girls, don't wanna be late home and want a good sleep before I ask Mr Human out tomorrow."

"Okay Sweetie good luck." Scootaloo cheered.

I climbed back down the ladder and hopped along happily home. I was so lucky to have such supportive friends. But I was so scared of Mr Human rejecting me. I wouldn't know what I would do if he did.
