Twilight’s Love Volume Three: Scootaloo’s Love

There was a taxi waiting to take Diamond, Emerald and Apple Bloom home. Emerald was yawning so much; he was worn out from the party and being excited to have been around the original CMC. Because of this they decided to go to the Rich home first.

Diamond dismissed the taxi, telling Apple Bloom she could arrange to get her home.

There, Apple Bloom helped Diamond to get Emerald to bed. He’d fallen asleep with his head in Apple Bloom’s lap.

The two mares put the colt to bed and kissed him on the cheek. As they closed the door, they looked at each other and smiled.

“This dress is nice,” said Diamond, “but I really want to get out of it before we take you home. Would you mind helping me?”

“No problem,” said Apple Bloom with a smile.

In Diamond’s room Diamond turned on the lights. Apple Bloom helped to pull the dress over Diamond’s head. To tell the truth, it felt nice being undressed by this pony.

“Might as well take mine off too,” said Apple Bloom, “don’t wan’a get it messed up goin’ home in the dark.”

Apple Bloom took the tiara off her head and handed it to Diamond.

“Sorry,” said Diamond, “I gave it to you. As I said, you look so much better in it than I ever did.”

Apple Bloom smiled and kissed Diamond again.

Apple Bloom had Diamond help take the dress off her; she felt the same arousal Diamond had felt.

When Diamond had set Apple Bloom’s dress and the tiara aside, she turned to see Apple Bloom looking intently at her.

“I haven’t had anypony undress me in such a long time,” said Diamond, “I forgot how nice it could feel.

Sorry, I know we said we wouldn’t talk of such things.”

“I felt it too,” said Apple Bloom, “I never knew.”

Without any more words being spoken, the two embraced and kissed perhaps the most passionate kiss they’d shared yet.

When they broke the kiss, Diamond was a little timid.

“I know it might be forward of me,” said Diamond, “but would you spend the night with me? I haven’t had a pony hold me in so very long.”

Apple Bloom’s answer was a small kiss then taking Diamond’s hoof and leading her to Diamond’s bed.

“Are you sure?” asked Diamond.

“Di,” said Apple Bloom, “I’d like to know what it’s like to be held at night by a pony who really likes me.”

They turned out the lights and climbed in the bed. Just holding each other closely. They could feel the other tremble with excitement and trepidation.

Diamond had all but forgotten what it was like to have a warm body close to her and against herself. Apple Bloom’s forelegs were lightly holding her while her head rested against Diamond’s chest. In spite of being held by a mare, the strength of the farm pony’s chest and legs could be felt in the muscles Diamond could feel just under Apple Bloom’s skin. It was almost like being held by a stallion but for the softness of the skin and the pheromones Diamond could register in the back if her mind. Diamond was sure if she’d just went to bed with a stallion, there would’ve been ‘advances’ already, but Apple Bloom was content to just hold and be held by Diamond.

Apple Bloom had climbed in the bed with Applejack on many occasions right after a particularly bad dream, or a storm which produced loud thunder and the winds made the old house creak. Applejack would hold her little sister close and help to relieve the fears. But this was nothing like she’d ever experienced. The softness of Diamond and the warmth she was feeling was so awesome. Apple Bloom had read books about couples making love, even some of Rarity’s mare with mare books. But there wasn’t anything in any of them about just holding their partner, drawing strength and comfort by lying near, and just feeling the other’s heartbeat.

Diamond looked down at Apple Bloom’s head just resting against her chest. Diamond had never seen such a beautiful smile before. Di leaned over and kissed Apple Bloom on the forehead.

Apple Bloom was almost used to getting kisses from Diamond by now. But for whatever reason, with Diamond holding her in this most private and intimate of settings and kissing her on the forehead, it was like nothing ever felt before. Her entire body was calling out for more than just kisses. But Apple Bloom knew this wasn’t the time for it. She wanted to enjoy the pure bliss she was feeling now. Apple Bloom looked up at Diamond and kissed her deeply.

They broke the kiss and just looked into each other’s eyes.

“Di,” said Apple Bloom, “I’ve never felt anythin’ like this before.

In fact, if’n I was to die right now, I’d know there’d be nothin’ in life could’ve made me happier.”

“I feel the same way,” said Diamond Tiara, “I’ve been held before, but never like this. Or at least it’s never felt like this. And it has nothing to do with being held by a mare. It has everything to do with the mare who’s holding me.”

The two just held each other close and closed their eyes.

After a while, as the cobwebs were starting to gather, Apple Bloom spoke quietly.

“Di,” said Apple Bloom, almost in a whisper.

“Yes Apple Bloom,” replied Diamond as quietly.

“What does love feel like?”

Diamond was surprised by the question, but she was thrilled Apple Bloom was asking it.

Diamond had thought she was in love with Spinner in the past. But as she became more mature, she realized it was only a crush and a silly school filly’s fantasy because an older colt was paying attention to her and treating her like an adult.

She later realized she was only being used for sex and was only being treated like the gullible fool she was.

It was the most un-adult thing ever.

Now here she lay in bed and in the embrace of a mare she’d been around all her life. A pony who at one time was her biggest adversary, now Diamond had discovered she shared more in common with her than anypony else.

Her heart felt so good just in the embrace of Apple Bloom. No demands, no expectations, only a wonderful pony who only wanted to be with her.

The answer to Apple Bloom’s question was clear, but Diamond thought it too early to commit to it.

“Really Apple Bloom,” said Di, “I thought I knew at one time. But I found out it was just an infatuation and it led to abuse.

To tell the truth, I don’t know. But I hope to Celestia it feels just like I’m feeling for you right now.”

Apple Bloom understood Di’s meaning.

“Me too,” said Apple Bloom.

Diamond caught the reciprocal meaning.

Apple Bloom turned over and snuggled her back to Diamond in the classic ‘spooning’ position. Diamond held Apple Bloom close, Apple Bloom’s forelegs held the forelegs wrapped around her. The joy for both mares was overwhelming.

“Whatever this feeling is,” said Apple Bloom, “thank you for feeling it with me.”

“Good night my sweet Apple Bloom.”

Apple Bloom turned her head and kissed Diamond.

“Good night my darlin’ Diamond.”

The two drifted off to sleep happier than either had ever been.

Emerald was happy it was Saturday morning. He was going to meet with his Crusader friends for a day in the park. He went down stairs for breakfast; Gram and Papa were at the table. But his mother, who was now an early riser, wasn’t there.

“Papa is mommy already gone?” asked the colt.

“I haven’t seen her this morning,” said Filthy.

“Miss Diamond came home late,” said Randolph.

“She must’ve had a good time and just got over tired,” said Spoiled. “I’ll go up and check.”

Apple Bloom was having ‘Her Dream’, the one where she could be like other ponies. She could love and be loved just like everypony else. It warmed her heart, it warmed her soul. But never before had it actually warmed her body. But then she realized she was awake, she just hadn’t opened her eyes yet. But like the dream, there was a warm chest pressed against her back and a warm foreleg holding her close.

She opened her eyes and saw she wasn’t in her own room. It wasn’t a dream.

“Di,” whispered Apple Bloom.

“Yes Apple-Love,” whispered Diamond in reply. Diamond, only after it left her lips, notice the endearment she just called Apple Bloom. Diamond didn’t care; it was what her heart was telling her to say. And it appeared Apple Bloom liked it too.

“So I didn’t dream it?” asked Apple Bloom.

“No Apple-Love,” said Diamond, tightening her embrace, “but if it’s a dream, then I don’t ever want to wake up.”

“Me neither,” said Apple Bloom.

Apple Bloom was about to turn over and continue the kissing from last night, but there was a knock at the door, it creaked open.

Spoiled went up the stair to her daughter’s bedroom door. She knocked but the door wasn’t closed all the way so it swung open a bit.

“Diamond?” said Spoiled, “are you going to sleep all day.”

Too late she noticed Diamond wasn’t in the bed alone. She was lying with her back to the door. Diamond appeared to be spooning with somepony. Her daughter turned over and sat up a bit.

“What’s wrong mom?” asked Diamond.

“I’m so sorry to disturb you,” said Spoiled embarrassed.

“It’s okay mom,” said Diamond with a smile.

At that moment Apple Bloom sat up too.

“We don’t mind what pony knows,” said Apple Bloom.

Apple Bloom then turned and gave Di a little kiss.

“Come down to breakfast when you’re ready,” said Spoiled, still looking sheepish as she turned to leave.

“Mom,” said Diamond, “are you upset at me?”

Spoiled turned back; there was a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

“No Sweetheart,” said Spoiled, “I’m just so happy for you, both of you.”

Spoiled left and closed the door behind her.

“I hope I didn’t speak out of place,” said Apple Bloom, “I hope you don’t mind what I said.”

Diamond kissed Apple Bloom hungrily.

“Apple-Love,” said Diamond, “I want everypony to know. I want the world to know I have the best pony in the world as my marefriend.”

The two smiled but they knew they had to get moving. Apple Bloom was sure AJ, Rarity and Big Mac might be concerned she hadn’t come home last night.

They took a quick shower (together), and then went downstairs to breakfast. As they enter the dining room, Spoiled, Filthy and even Randolph smiled as Diamond and Apple Bloom entered the room. However, Emerald was taken aback.

“Miss Apple Bloom!” said the colt, “you came back this morning?”

“Emerald,” said Diamond, “Apple-Love stayed with me last night.”

“Apple-Love?” said Spoiled with a knowing smile.

The two blushed.

“Like a slumber party?” asked Emerald.

“Sweetie,” said Apple Bloom, “your mother and I like each other a lot.”

“You mean you’re in love?” asked the colt.

Di and Apple Bloom looked at each other, then back to Emerald.

“Emerald,” said Diamond, “we like each other a whole lot. But we’ve only just started to like each other; love is something we’d have to discover.

But be happy for Apple Bloom and me. We’re so happy!”

“I am mommy, for you and Miss Apple Bloom,” said the colt, giving each mare a hug and kiss on the cheek.

“Well,” said Filthy, “we’re so happy for you two. Diamond, it’s about time you let go of the past and open yourself to others.”

“Yes,” said Spoiled, “and we don’t think we could name any other pony better to open yourself to.

And Apple Bloom, you’re welcome here in our family. You and all the Apples are an honorable and wonderful family. Just know Filthy and I are here for you anytime you need.”

“Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Rich. We don’t know how this relationship is goin’a go. But I promise I’ll never hurt Diamond, and I’ll be there to support her and Emerald.”

“We’ve no doubt of it,” said Filthy, “now sit and eat before breakfast gets cold. Randolph, please bring Miss Apple a plate.”

“Gladly sir,” answered the butler with a smile. It was clear he was just as happy for Diamond as anypony else.

Randolph retrieved a plate and Apple Bloom sat between Diamond and Emerald, much to the colt’s delight, and ate breakfast.
