”Come on button!” Grey Pegasus colt said while looking at his friend who was playing on his console.

“You can tell us Button.” an earth pony colt said. “We promise we won’t laugh. right Rumble?”

“Yeah just tell who she is?” Rumble said and turned off the television.

“Hey! I was playing.” Button Mash said angrily to rumble.

“Yeah whatever now who is she? Diamond Tiara?” Rumble teased his friend.

“Diamond Tiara? Get real she is so not my type!” Button said in an annoyed tone.

“Silver Spoon?” The earth pony asked.

“Taps… really… Silver Spoon is just Diamond Tiara 1.2.” Button said to Tender Taps in a disappointed tone.

“Then who is she?” Rumble asked. “Just tell us. We both know that you have a crush on somepony.”

“Well you see…” Button said and rubbed the back of his head. “She is way out of my league.”

“That doesn’t answer our question.” Tender Taps said and raised an eye brow. “Just tell us we are friend after all.” he said and smiled friendly

“Fine… On one condition. You guys have to tell me who is your crush.” Button Mash said.

“Fine.” Rumble said and looked at Tender Taps who simply nodded.

“Okay… my crush is Sweetie Belle.” Button said and blushed.

An awkward silence fell upon the room as Rumble and Tender Taps looked at Button.

“Really? That’s anti climatic… I thought it would have actually been somepony out of your league like Spitfire or Fleetfoot…” Rumble said to his friend who was still blushing.

“Yeah dude have you been blind. Sweetie Belle is like totally into you.” Tender Taps said.

“Really? She is? but now you guys have to keep your part of the promise.” Button said to his friend who all the sudden became red-ish.

“Well you see…” Tender Taps muttered. “I might like Apple Bloom a bit… She is so awesome to dance with and I owe my cutie mark to her.” He said.

“And I might like maybe have a small crush on Scootaloo.” Rumble told.

“Do you think we could get them to go on a date with us?” Tender Taps asked.

“Well there is one way to find out.” Button said and walked out of his gaming room.

“Sweetie Belle you what’s wrong you haven’t even touched your smoothie.” Apple Bloom said to the unicorn who was just looking at her smoothie.

“Yeah you love Pinkie’s smoothies what’s wrong?” Scootaloo asked her.

“I dunno… it’s just that I keep thinking of Button.” Sweetie Belle said and looked at her friends.

“If you like him that much you should tell him that you like him.” Scootaloo said to her.

“Yeah. Hiding your feelings is never good.” Apple Bloom continued. “I hav’ been thinkin’ and maybe I too have some feelings towards somepony.”

“Really who? Is it Pip?” Scootoloo teased Apple Bloom.

“Nah I heard that he and Diamond Tiara might be a thing but who knows.” Apple Bloom said and continued. “Anyways I have been dancing a lot with Tender Taps and I think he has a crush on me… and I might have a one towards him.”

“Well it seems that you two have to talk to them and confess your love for them.” Scootaloo said while looking at her friends.

“What you don’t have a crush on anypony other than yourself and Rainbow Dash.” Sweetie Belle teased.

“WHAT?! NO! I don’t do that fluffy stuff.” Scootaloo said and stood up. “But you two do it so follow me.” Scootaloo buzzed out of Sweet sugar cube corner and towards the CMC club house. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle tried to keep up but Scootaloo was way faster than them even thou she could hardly fly.
Once they got to the club house Scootaloo had already pulled out a map of the Ponyville are and had but down markers that were supposed to look like Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Button Mash and Tender Taps but they were clearly drawn a pony who wasn’t so interested in arts.

“Okay girls! This is who we or more like I will set you up with the stallion of your dreams. First off Button Mash… Sweetie Belle you need to just stallion up even thou you are a mare and ask him out. I didn’t come up with anything else so this is how you will do it. After School you need to ask him if he would like to play something with you and then you ask him out on a date. Then Apple Bloom you need to have an amazing dance with him with a romantic finale.” Scootaloo said while fantasies of her friends finding love played out in her head.

“Umm… Scoots… are you all right you seem to enjoy this a bit too much.” Apple Bloom started and looked at Sweetie Belle who continued with.

“Yeah… shipping and romance is kinda my thing…”

“What?! No! I’m not into shipping anyponies together! I’m a cool pony and cool ponies don’t do that stuff.” She defended herself while blushing a bit knowing that her friends might now know her secret… “Anyhow Tender Taps and Button Mash usually hang out near the park with Rumble… I know Rumble is gonna try to screw with my plan but you just have to ignore him. Anyways You two need to get ready for tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow!” Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom yelled in panic.

“Yeah! you guys are gonna do this tomorrow.” Scootaloo said happily.

“I need more time to prepare.” Sweetie Belle told her.

“No you don’t!” Scootaloo said simply ignored her complaint. “Just trust me and you will not regret it.” Scootaloo said and smiled.

Button Mash, Rumble and Tender Taps had looked all over Ponyville for the three fillies but hadn’t found them so three of them decided to go and hang out in Rumble’s house. They were sitting in the living room and drinking some apple juice while talking about “stuff”…

“So have you guys ever asked anypony out before?” Tender Taps asked.

“Nope.” Both Button and Rumble answered in unison.

“Great so none of us know how to do this.” Tender said and looked at the ground.

“But I know a pony who knows all about mares.” Rumble said and stood up.

“Really who?” Tender asked.

“Let me guess your brother.” Button said sarcastically.

“Nope somepony even better follow me.” Rumble said and walked out of the house.

Chapter 2 Stallion's advice

MLP: FiM
Love times three
By: flat spin

Some inappropriate themes ahead

”And then she said that she had a coltfriend and slapped me.” Rumble, Tender Taps and Button Mash could hear a voice coming from the other room.

“How do you always get yourself on to those kinds of situations?” A familiar voice said.

“I’m starting to think that every good looking mare in this town is taken… is Button’s mom taken?” The first voice said.

“WHAT?!” Button yelled as he, Rumble and Tender Taps walked into the room. They saw Rumble’s Brother Thunderlane who was sitting on the couch with a light blue pegasus.

“Oh Hi Rumble... And Button and Tender Taps.” Thunderlane said and turned to face his brother. “You need something?”

“I was actually gonna ask Soarin’s help.” Rumble said and looked at Soarin.

“What do you need kid.” Soarin smiled and looked at him.

“Well… You seem to know a lot about mares.” Rumble started.

“Yeah… I guess being a wonderbolt forces you to become expert on pony mating.” Soarin chuckled with Thunderlane.

“Okay… but anyways there are these fillies that we like and we don’t know how to ask them out and make them like us too.” Rumble said and both Tender Taps and Button Mash nodded.

“Well kids if you wanna make a mare like you. you need to find the clitoris.” Soarin said.

“WHAT?!” All three colts and Thunderlane yelled out.

“Dude they are like six…” Thunderlane said.

“Hey I’m 12.” Rumble said in an annoyed tone.

“Whatever… anyway dude they don’t even know what the birds and the bees do.” Thunderlane said to Soarin.

“oh..” Soarin started and looked at Thunderlane. “Oh…” He said again a bit louder and looked at the little colts. “OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Why didn’t you say that you want them to just be your special somepony and that you don't want to sleep with them."

“Why would we want to sleep with them?” Tender Taps asked.

“So that you could have s..” Soarin was cut off by Thunderlane.

“Dude! They don’t know!”

“Oh yeah sorry… Anyways here is my advice to you three: If you fall in love before the age of twenty five… don’t.” Soarin said to the three colts.

“What?” They said in unison.

“Sorry to break this to you but the fact is that the pony you have a crush on might not be the one.” Soarin said and continued. “But if
you wanna still try I suggest getting some flowers and do something romantic.”

“What if a mare doesn’t like romantic stuff?” Rumble asked while thinking what Scootaloo would think if he gave her some flowers.

“Trust me they all love romantic stuff… I too thought that maybe some mares might not have a romantic side to them but I was wrong.” Soarin said proudly. “Just trust me get some flowers and do something romantic.”

"Do you have a special somepony?" Tender Taps asked.

"Well... i know who my special somepony is but at the moment i'm happy being single. I don't wanna rush into love you know." Soarin said and laughed. "Because love is like a fart in a way... if you force it really hard it's gonna be shit. So don't rush into love other vice you might end up covered in manure."

“Okay.... Well thanks Soarin!” Rumble yelled out as he, Tender Taps and Button Mash ran out of the room.

“Do you think they have a slightest change?” Thunderlane asked Soarin.

“Well you didn’t have any change to get together with Spitfire and now look at you… Happily together for what a year. I have known her for my whole life and she has never had a relationship that lasted this long.” Soarin said and gave a friendly poke to Thunderlane.

“Yeah… Anyways what where we talking about?” Thunderlane asked.

“I think we were talking about how hot Button’s mom is.” Soarin pondered.

“So how are we gonna do this Rumble?” Button asked as they walked back to Rumble’s room.

“Tomorrow we get some flowers and after school we are gonna ask them out.” Rumble said confidently.

“So what do we say to them?” Tender Taps asked.

“Well Soarin said to be romantic so say something romantic.” Rumble said.

“I Have a bed feeling about this.” Tender Taps muttered.

Chapter 3 Rumble just had to screw up again

MLP: FiM
Love times three
By: flat spin

It was the last class of the day and the little colts and fillies didn’t pay much attention to cheerilee and her teaching.

“Psst… Apple Bloom…” Scootaloo whispered to Apple Bloom.

“What?” Apple Bloom whispered back at her as she was writing some notes.

“Is everything clear to you.” Scootaloo started. “I already went over the plan with Sweetie Belle and she knows what to do.”

“Well… no I don’t know the plan you just said to tell them that we like them.” Apple Bloom said and looked at Scootaloo who was sitting behind her.

“I told you that you need to have a romantic dance with Tender Taps after school.” Scootaloo reminded her and smiled.

“Oh yeah!” Apple Bloom said loudly and cheerfully as she remembered what Sooctaloo had told her. “I totally remember that and you also said something about Rumble ruining everything.”

“What was that about Rumble Apple Bloom?” Cheerilee said and the whole class turned to look at Apple Bloom who now was blushing from embarrassment.

“Sorry you are on your own.” Scootaloo whispered to her as Cheerilee walked over to her desk.

“Apple Bloom explain!” Cheerilee said and looked down at Apple Bloom.

“Well… you see… Umm…” Apple Bloom tried to find an excuse to use but didn’t find one… Damn honesty.

“You said something about Rumble ruining something!” Cheerilee said and looked at Rumble who was sitting at the back of the class with Button and Tender Taps. All three of them had just before school picked up some flowers and they had hid them to their saddle bags. Three of them were sweating heavily because not only were they nervous of the confessions they were about to do after class but they also knew that if the crusaders got into hot water now and got detention it was game over for them too.

“Well… he… umm… you know…” Apple Bloom just stalled and prayed for somepony to save her.

The three boys knew this wasn’t going to end well if nopony didn’t step in. So Rumble decided to defuse the bomb at the last second “She is right!” He yelled across the class to Cheerilee who was just as surprised as the crusaders and both Button and Tender. “She is right.” He said again and walked over to Apple Bloom’s desk next to Cheerilee. Every colt and filly was now looking at him and tried to guess what was about to happen next.

“Could you clarify Rumble?” Cheerilee asked him.

“No… I can’t…” He said and smiled innocently and hoped that Cherilee would just drop the subject.

“You two stay here until I have figured out what the hay is going on. The rest of you can go home now.”

“Rumble you idiot you just had to ruin this too!” Scootaloo thought and facehoofed as she was leaving the classroom.
As the rest of the school ponies left the classroom and the door closed Cheerilee said. “You two wait here for a moment I have to make some calls quick.” And she too left the room leaving two of them alone to the room.

“Why did you do that?” Apple Bloom asked and looked at him.

“Well you see me, Button and Tender had this whole thing planned where we were going to ask you three out but… I guess like Scootaloo would say: I ruined it again… or would that be you who would say something like that in the middle of the class?” Rumble said and chuckled.

“Really you three were going to ask us out… oh bucks I ruined this not only for me and you but to the rest of them as well.” Apple Bloom said and looked down in disappointment. “And now Cheerilee is going to not only call out parents but she will give us detention too.” She said and looked up to Rumble who had sat down to the desk in front of her but he had turned the chair to face her. His purple eyes look kinda like those weird apples cousin Apple stem harvests during nightmare night…

“But sure you could have just stayed out of this and gotten a date with Scoots… You were going to ask her out… right?” Apple Bloom said hoping a bit he would say her name instead of Scootaloo’s… “NO! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON TENDER TAPS! GET YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT!” She thought to herself.

“Well yeah…” He said and looked at her… Apple Bloom was kinda cute… but no Scootaloo had to be the one for him after all they had spent a lot of time together… then again what if he were to spent some time with Apple Bloom… would she be as awesome as Scootaloo?

“Sorry to break this to you but the fact is that the pony you have a crush on might not be the one.” Soarin’s words echoed in his head… was Scootaloo really meant to be the one or… gosh her eyes are pretty.

“For Celestia’s sake Rumble! Why do you have to be so stupid!” Scootaloo ranted on the play ground outside of the school.

“Relax Scootaloo I’m sure they will be out soon.” Sweetie Belle tried to calm her down.

“No they are gonna be in there for a while.” Button said as he walked over to them with Tender Taps.

“How do you know that?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Well we heard Cheerilee and she just told them to wait so it’s gonna be a while before they get out of there.” Button told the fillies.

“Great… Just great. I knew he was gonna screw this up for us.” Scootaloo said and kicked a rock.

“Well I guess our plan is off?” Tender Taps asked Button.

“Yeah… Better luck next time?” Button said.

“Well I guess I should get going… I need to get my new dance outfit ready before the next show.” Tender Taps said and started to walk away.

“You know how skilled I am with a sewing machine.” Tender Taps joked.

“Hey Tender! I can help you since our plans for today are off too. Right Scoots?” Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo who was still a bit angry.

“Yeah go ahead we can try again another day.” She simply said and looked as two of them walked away.

“So you are good at sewing?” Tender Taps asked.

“Yeah of course. Rarity has thought me a lot and I can handle any job that might come up.” Sweetie Belle said and radiated confidence… and beauty “NO SHE IS BUTTON’S CRUSH DUDE! SNAP OUT OF IT!” Tender Taps thought to himself as they kept walking. He was still looking at her perfect mane and her cute face… But no she was nothing compared to Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom and he had danced so much and knew each other so well…

“Sorry to break this to you but the fact is that the pony you have a crush on might not be the one.” Dammit Soarin why did you say that!

“So when is your next show?” Sweetie Belle asked him.

“Next week at the nightmare night festival.”

“I have always whished that I could dance as well as Apple Bloom… But then again she had the best teacher in town.” Sweetie chuckled and thought what it would be if she could dance… Just slow romantic Dances with a perfect stallion who would teach her to dance. “NO SWEETIE THAT’S APPLE BLOOM’S STALLION YOU ARE DREAMING ABOUT!” He wasn’t nearly as great as Button… but She hadn’t spent that much time with him after all… Unlike with Button who she knew well. But… No… or…

“Why are you so salty all the sudden?” Button asked and looked at Scootaloo who was still angry about the situation that had happened.

“Salty? What does that mean?”

“Forget it.” Button said and walked over to her. “I just seem like you would have been playing counter strike global offensive for hours.” Button said and chuckled a bit.

“Shut up Bottom Bash.” Scootaloo said and gave him a friendly poke.

“Oh you even talk like a real Call of duty newbie.” Button said and laughed hard.

“Hey I could beat you ass in any game any time.” She said with confidence and smiled… ad what a smile it was… “NO! BUTTON THAT’S RUMBLE’S FILLY YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT!” Button thought to himself.

“I could beat you even with a third party controller.” Button said with just as much confidence as Scootaloo.

“Well he is competitive and cute… NO! I DON’T DO GIRLY CRUSHES!” Scootaloo thought to herself.

“So are we gonna play or are you gonna be a real chicken and scoot away.” Button said and gave her a friendly smile.

“Oh we are on!”

“Great follow me to my place!” Button said and started walking.

“Sorry to break this to you but the fact is that the pony you have a crush on might not be the one.” Those words… “Soarin your advice was so crappy!” He thought to himself as they were walking…

Chapter 4 Lesson on love

MLP: FiM
Love times three
By: flat spin

”Soarin! I need help!” Rumble said and ran into the living room where Soarin and Thunderlane were.

“Okay… did you get that filly you were going for?” Soarin asked and Rumble jumped on to the couch between Soarin and Thunderlane.

“I’ll get us some drinks.” Thunderlane said and walked out of the living room. At that moment Tender Taps and Button Mash ran into the house too.

“Soarin! We Need help!” They yelled and ran into the living room and jumped up to the couch.

“Okay what’s wrong now.” Soarin asked.

“Well the filly I had a crush on… well… there is this another filly… And well I got a crush on her too.” Rumble muttered.

“Yeah… we might have the same issue here too.” Button said and blushed of embarrassment.
Soarin just looked at the colts and asked. “How old were you again?”

“12.” Three of them said in unison.

“ahhh. I see.” Soarin said and smiled wildly. “You three are about to enter the wonderful world of puberty.” He said and laughed.

“Puber-what?” Three of them asked.

“Puberty. It when a colt starts to become a stallion. It explains why you have these crushes and… well it also might explain a couple of other
things too.” Soarin said and smiled.

“What things?” Tender Taps asked.

“Don’t they teach this at school?” Soarin asked and the three colts simply said “Nope.”

“Okay… well than I guess I have to give you three the good old birds and the bees talk.” Soarin said and smiled.

“What’s that?” Button asked.

“Well let’s start this off then...” Soarin said and gave them the talk about the birds and the bees.

A cuple of minutes later Thunderlane walked back into the living room with to beers and said. “Hey I didn’t find any colas for you kids but…” Then he saw the three young colts and their expressions of horror. “What did you tell them now!” Thunderlane yelled to Soarin who was smiling.

“Relax I gave them the talk.”

“YOU WHAT NOW?” Thunderlane said as he looked at the three colts who looked like statues at this point.

“I just told them how the magical world of love works and what happens when ponies hit puberty.” Soarin said and smiled happily.

“Thunderlane facehoofed and said. “Okay dude… I wouldn’t care if you would have only told Rumble this but you had to traumatize two other colts too.”

“It’s better to get traumatized now than at the hospital.” Soarin said as the colts finally snapped out of their nightmares.

“You mean we are gonna do this at some point with fillies?” Tender Taps said in horror.

“Yep and you are gonna love it… of course you can do it with colts too but if you do that then the penetration happens to the a…” Soarin was saying but Thunderlane luckily cut him off.

“OKAY! THAT’S ENOUGH!” He screamed. “Soarin just shut up for a while. And now kids what was the problem before Soarin decided to destroy your childhood.”

“Well we have these crushes on some ponies but we also have crushes on some other ponies and we don’t know which is meant to be the one for us.” Rumble told him their problem.

“Well you know what I told you yesterday…” Soarin started again but…

“If you say a single dirty thing I will throw you into the ponyville river.” Thunderlane said and raised his fist.

“Relax… I Told the three of you that you can’t rush love. Give it time. Time will clear out your head and you will find the one that is meant for you.” Soarin said in a fatherly tone.

“So your saying we should just not date anypony until we are grownups.” Button asked.

“No! I’m saying that you need to relax and not worry about these things… Trust me in ten years Rumble will be a wonderbolt and you will have a lovely wife that is gonna be standing right next to you as you soar through the sky… And Button here will be a e-athlete who will tour the world with his special somepony. And Tender will probably be a world class dancer with his special somepony and heck maybe you will have a kid who might be great dancer too.” Soarin told each of them. “Just don’t rush love… Love is a mysterious thing you really don’t know what it is until you have found that one you can share it with.”

“So what you are saying is to not worry about these things and take what life has to offer.” Rumble said.

“Exactly. Just take what life has to offer and live it like today was going to be the last day of your life. That’s how I have lived and I can say that I’m truly happy and when I finally tell my special somepony that I love her my life is perfect.” Soarin said and looked as smile crept to the faces of the three colts.

“You know what guys… I think we should go to Button house and play games the whole night.” Rumble said excitedly.

“Yeah let’s go and have fun.” Button said and three of them ran off.

“You know what…” Thunderlane said and sat down next to Soarin and gave him a beer. “That wasn’t actually a bad advice… That was an advice that our dad would have given us if he would have been here.”

“Yeah I know… I guess I’m slowly becoming like him.”

“You know you should really go up to her and tell her how you feel… You have already done everything that a single guy can do.”

“Yeah but you know how the wonderbolt life is… if I would tell her how I felt I couldn’t be there for her a lot… that’s not the kinda husband and a father I want to be… But you are right… maybe I should do the same Spitfire did for you and become a dedicated trainer and a coach at the academy and leave the touring for the young bucks.” Soarin said as his thoughts wondered toward his special somepony’s magenta eyes…

Chapter 5 Sisters and friends

MLP: FiM
Love times three
By: flat spin

Rainbow Dash was flying through the clear skies of ponyville until she heard a familiar voice. “Gosh! Love is so complicated.” Rainbow Dash looked down and saw three fillies walking. She quickly dove down and decided to ask them what was that all about.

“Hi kids.” She said and landed next to Scootaloo.

“Oh hi Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo said happily. “What’s up?”

“No… what’s up with three of you… I heard you guys talking.” Rainbow Dash shot back.

“Well… it’s just that we have some really mixed feelings towards some colts… and we don’t really know what to do.” Sweetie Belle told the older Pegasus.

“Oh... well I wouldn’t worry about it. You three are still young and you have a lot of time to find your special someponies.” Rainbow Dash said and smiled. “You guys will at some point find love. Just don’t search for it… Love has away to find you when the time is right.” She said and smiled as she looked at the clears sky.

“I guess your right Dash… But when will it happen?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Nopony knows. Only you know it when you will meet him… or her.” Rainbow Dash said to the crusaders. “Love is a mysterious thing… Bit like true friendship… you really don’t know anything about it before you have somepony you can share it with.” Rainbow Dash pondered as they were walking towards the CMC club house.

“Do you know what love is?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Yeah…” Rainbow Dash said and looked at the green apple trees which reminded her of his emerald green eyes,

“So you have a special somepony?” Scootaloo asked excitedly.

“Well it’s complicated at the moment.” She said and looked at the ground. “His dream job takes a lot of his time and I could never ask him to abandon his dream… I can wait for him…” Rainbow Dash told them.

“He must be something special for you if you are willing to wait for him.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Yeah… but that’s love… putting somepony’s needs before yours.” Rainbow Dash said to them.

“How does it feel to be in love?” Scootaloo asked her.

“It’s great… sometimes it’s hard because he is away so much but when I see that goofy face and hear his voice I just melt away… It’s so great feeling knowing that there is somepony who is ready to do anything for you and wants to be the one that takes care of you…” Dash said while dreaming about her stallion… “But remember kids that love cannot be rushed… love will find everypony at some point. Just don’t worry about things like these and live your lives… That’s how I’ve been living and I’m happy.”

“Thanks Dash…” Scootaloo said and hugged her as they arrived to the club house. “See you later sis.”

“Yeah see you later sis.” Dash said and flew off to the horizon leaving behind a streak of rainbow.

Chapter 6 ten years and three couples

MLP: FiM
Love times three
By: flat spin

”We are here today to celebrate two things.” Fleetfoot announced from the stage to the crowd. “Firstly we are here to send the first commander Soarin and Captain Rainbow Dash to retirement but we are also here to celebrate our new captain and first commander. Captain Scootaloo and first commander Rumble.” Fleetfoot finished and the crowd cheered on and went back to talking to each other.

“Hey Soarin.” Rumble said and walked towards the older stallion who was standing next to the ex-captain.

“Oh Rumble… or should I say first commander.” Soarin smiled as he walked over to him.

“Can I have a word with you… in private.” Rumble said to him.

“Don’t take too long feather brains.” Rainbow Dash said and kissed him on the cheek and walked off.

“So… what do you need to talk about?” Soarin asked.

“Remember ten years ago when you told me that I would be a wonderbolt someday with my special somepony?” Rumble said.

“Yeah.” Soarin said. “Is everything okay between you and Scootaloo?”

“Actually… yesterday after you and Dash called us to the captain’s office and promoted us I kinda proposed to her.” Rumble said and smiled widely.

“And?” Soarin said and started to smile too.

“She said yes.” Rumble said and smiled even more. “Thank you for everything Soarin… even for those crappy advices you gave me back in the days.”

“Hey most of those advices you are gonna need on you wedding night.” Soarin said and hugged Rumble. “I’m proud of you kiddo. I know that you and Scootaloo will take the wonderbolts to new heights and do me and Dashie even more proud to been your trainers and mentors.”

“Thanks Soarin.”

“It was nothing.”

“No… it was everything.”

“So…” Rarity said as she was measuring Sweetie Belle for a new dress she was making for her. “Your waist is a grown a bit.” Rarity said and smiled.

“Oh grow up Rarity. I’m not pregnant… at least yet.”

“You and Button have been married for a year I think it’s time for you two to finally to get some foals.”

“We are 22 there is no need to rush things… All thou a foal or two does sound nice.” Sweetie thought to herself. “Maybe in a year or to… I just really wanna enjoy living with him at the moment.”

“You are right that there is no need to rush things but still I want to be an aunt.” Rarity said. “So get some action going on in the bedroom.” She said with a wink.

“Excuse me but we do have things going on in the bedroom on nightly bases… Unlike you.” Sweetie said and gave Rarity a sisterly poke.

“Hey… once ponies get old you gotta slow down a bit… So I suggest you enjoy your new life with Button as much as you can because love is such a beautiful thing… Especially when you can express it with someone in an intimate way.”

“Yeah your right.”

“Apple Blossom! Could you come here!” Tender Taps yelled from the down stairs of the farm house.

“What do ya need dad?” A orange filly with a purple mane asked.

“I’m gonna go and check up on the eastern orchard. Could you go and check up on your mother.” Tender Taps said and walked out.

“Okay dad.” The little filly said and quickly ran upstairs and to her parent’s bedroom where she saw her mother on the bed.

“Oh hi Apple Blossom. You need something… Did your father already went to see that the eastern orchard is still okay?” Apple Bool said from the bed.

“Yeah he already went and sent me to check up on you.” She said and jumped on to the bed next to her mother.

“Oh well that’s nice… uh that hurt a bit.” Apple Bloom said and rubbed her belly.

“Are you okay mom.” Apple Blossom asked while looking at her.

“Yeah I’m fine… he just apparently hates my spin and wants to kick it every so often.” Apple Bloom said and laughed. “When I was pregnant with you, you didn’t kick me as much… all thou you were a quite loud little filly… and still are today.” Apple Bloom said and hugged her daughter. “You know that I’m so lucky to have a daughter like you and a loving husband like you father.”

“And I’m lucky to have the best parents in the world.”

“Love cannot be rushed…”

“You really don’t know anything about it before you have somepony you can share it with…”

“love is putting somepony else's needs before yours…”

“Just take what life has to offer and live it like today was going to be the last day of your life…”

Words of two ponies who knew what love was and because them these six ponies found out what love is too… Love is nothing if you have no one to share it with… if you don’t share love then it turns to hate…
