Twilight was beyond embarrassed, she felt downright dirty and ashamed. She was just caught pleasuring herself by an innocent filly, and to top it all off it was practically her best friends little sister! The room was uncomfortably silent, Luna's moon was barely over the horizon but was able to cast a cooling glow of light onto the ceiling. It felt like time stood still as the two stared at each other, too afraid to speak up.

"I uh, I think I know what y-you were doing T-Twilight", Scootaloo said as her nerves showed in her quivering voice, "and i'm s-sorry I d-didn't knock f-first".

Twilight was relieved that someone broke the silence, and she was glad that Scootaloo had an understanding of what she was doing. She managed to form a small smile and said, "It's okay Scootaloo, it was my fault for not locking the door".

Scootaloo was thankful Twilight wasn't mad at her for walking in without warning, but once again she wanted answers to the itching questions in her mind. With a deep sigh Scootaloo asked, "Hey Twilight, can I ask you some questions? I know it's bed time but these are even more important that my Cutie Mark".

Twilight was unsure what Scootaloo meant by 'more important', but Twilight was willing to help even if she didn't understand. "Alright, c'mere", Twilight, whom now was sitting up, patted the bed for Scootaloo to come sit down next to her.

Okay Scoots, just get this over with and you can go back to bed. As she jumped up onto the somewhat small bed she felt an odd substance cling to the bottom of her hooves, it was somewhat sticky and warm to the touch. She also noted the aroma it produced, an almost sweet and pleasant smell which Scootaloo found herself enjoying. I wonder what it tastes like... But before she could lift her hoof up to give it a lick, she was interrupted by the purple mare.

"So what's on your mind?", Twilight asked with a gleeful tone, trying to lighten the mood.

"W-well, uh, is it alright for mares to like mares?", Scootaloo thought it was best to start out with basic questions to test the waters, she didn't want to dive in head first without knowing what dangers lurked deep down.

The question caught Twilight off guard, she didn't expect the little filly to be asking those sorts of questions. Nonetheless, she was there to be helpful, "Of course it is, we don't judge ponies based on who they like. If a mare likes a mare then so be it, and if a stallion likes a stallion there's nothing wrong with that either".

This brightened Scootaloo's mood, knowing that mares can like mares was one piece of the puzzle. She didn't waste any time, and moved right on to the next question.

"So does that apply to fillies too? I mean is it alright for fillies to like older mares?", Scootaloo's poor little heart was beating a mile a minute.

Twilight's eyes grew wide, it was at that moment she realized why Scootaloo had been staring at her multiple times that day. She knew that the orange Pegasus liked her, and although she was flattered she knew it was wrong for such a relationship to exist.

"Uhh", Twilight said, trying her best to form a complete sentence in her mind, "It's not really ethically accepted among the citizens of Equestria, but there isn't technically any laws against it so I suppose it's alright". Twilight was unsure if that was the correct thing to say, sure there are no laws forbidding that a filly and a mare should be paired together but she knew that not a lot of ponies accepted it. But why did Scootaloo like her, when there was plenty of ponies at her school and even Rainbow Dash, whom admittedly was technically family, but at least Scootaloo knew infinitely more about her than she did Twilight.

Scootaloo nearly screamed with joy, she didn't know what 'ethically' meant but Twilight said that there's no rules saying she couldn't like mares. There was one more question that she had, the one she was saving till the very end until she was absolutely sure she was allowed to like Twilight.

"Do you like me, Twilight?", Scootaloo asked.

Once again Twilight was speechless, did she like the little filly? Well of course she did, but not in the way Scootaloo was asking. She didn't want to upset the poor thing but she couldn't just lie and say she did like her. "I uh, mmph-!", Twilight was cut off by the orange Pegasus' soft lips meeting her own. She wanted to pull away, but instead was somehow enjoying the moment as she closed her eyes. It was a short kiss, and Scootaloo was the one to pull away leaving Twilight blushing intensely.

"Wh-what did you do that for?", Twilight asked as her arousal started to creep back after not being able to finish earlier.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to give you a reason to like me", Scootaloo said, thinking that she was taking things too fast, "did you like it?".

Twilight couldn't help it, she did like it. When the fillies moist lips hit hers, she somehow knew it was meant to be. Letting out a deep sigh, Twilight said, "I suppose I did. But why me of all ponies? Why not someone like Rainbow Dash who has a much deeper connection with you then I ever could?"

Scootaloo didn't know how to answer, mainly because she didn't know either. It seemed like her feelings for Twilight were inside her for a while, but she never acknowledged them until tonight. And Twilight had a point, Rainbow Dash was really close to the filly, probably even closer than Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. But there was something about Twilight that caused Scootaloo to have a burning desire to be with her, to be her special somepony.

"I wish I knew Twilight, but I know in my heart that I like you more than any pony. Sure Rainbow Dash is cool and all, but it just feels right to be with you. I know it sounds strange but if you just give it a chance, it will make me the happiest little filly ever!", Scootaloo practically begged, giving Twilight the cutest face she could make.

She really likes me that much? She sounds like she genuinely wants to be my special somepony, but what will our friends think? Will they hate me for liking a filly, and Scootaloo at that. I need more time to think about it, maybe i'll ask around to see what other ponies think. Twilight finally broke out of her blank stare and smiled at the eager Pegasus, "Tell you what, give me some time to think about it, this is a very serious subject and I need to know that I am ready to take that step. I'll have an answer for you sometime tomorrow alright?".

Scootaloo was slightly disappointed, but gave an understanding nod anyways.

"Good, now let's get back to bed, it's getting late and you didn't sleep at all last night. Don't want you sleeping all day now do we?", Twilight smiled as she led Scootaloo to the door or her bedroom.

It didn't take long for Scootaloo to fall asleep, she was extremely exhausted and finally had a clear mind. Tomorrow, is going to be a good day.
