It was a calm evening in Ponyville. Sweetie Belle had only 1 day left to tell Octavia if she wanted to perform. She was pacing around her room. She was debating whether or not she should tell Button she liked him. After 20 minutes of thinking it over, she decided to tell him. As she was about to walk out the door, her phone rang. It was Apple Bloom. "Hey, Apple Bloom! What's up?"

"You don't know?"

"What happened?"

"Button Mash asked Scootaloo if she wanted to be his special somepony!"

"And?"

"She said yes!"

"What?!"

"Yeah! Apparently, he and Scootaloo have been friends since they were little kids. They met at a gaming convention."

"Wow. I guess I never realized how much they have in common." Sweetie Belle's voice was shaky, she was on the verge of tears.

"Hey, is something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. Listen, I, I gotta go."

"Are ya sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine. Bye."

"Bye." Sweetie Belle put down her phone. She sat down on the carpet. She was about to tell Button how much she liked him and now, he asked one of her best friends to be his special somepony. How could I have been so stupid! she thought. I should have known Scootaloo would like Button! Her tears began to fall. Small ones but still. She came to a decision. She didn't want to stay in Ponyville for Hearts and Hooves day. She couldn't talk to Scootaloo right now. And she definitely didn't want to see Button Mash. There was no point in staying in Ponyville. She walked into Rarity's room. Rarity looked up. "Yes, Sweetie Belle?" Sweetie Belle took a deep breath.

"Rarity, tell Octavia I'll do the concert." Rarity was overjoyed. She was happy Sweetie Belle was following her dreams but something seemed wrong.

"Is everything alright?" Sweetie Belle hesitated. It was good if she told Rarity but, maybe she should keep it to herself.

"Yeah." Rarity knew it was not alright but, if Sweetie Belle wouldn't tell her then she had to find out herself.

"Alright then."

"I'll, be in my room," Sweetie Belle said quietly. Little did she know, Rarity was cooking up a crazy scheme in her head.

As soon as her sister left the room, Rarity put her plan into action. Something was amiss. If she wanted to do the concert, why was she upset. Somehow, Rarity knew it had something to do with Button Mash. And she was going to find out. She began by going to the Ponyville arcade. She went up to an employee. "Excuse me, sir, I need to talk to a colt named button Mash but I have no clue what he looks like. Can you help me?"

"He has an orangish brown mane, a brown coat, and he's wearing a propeller beanie," she stallion answered.

"Thank you ever so much." Great. Now that Rarity knew what Button looked like she could find him easily. She started her search at the Ponyville game store, then she went to the Horseapple store to see if he was getting a computer or phone there, and finally to Mage and Bubble's. She didn't find him at any of those places. She decided that it was time for a break and went into Sugarcube Corner. As she sat down her jaw dropped and she gasped. Sitting just a few tables away from her was none other than Button Mash. And he was sharing a milkshake with, Scootaloo?! "Oh my, this is what Sweetie Belle is upset about!" she said, but not so loud that Button and Scootaloo heard her. She dashed home and straight upstairs. She opened the door. "Sweetie Belle?"

"Yeah?" she replied in a depressed voice.

"I know what happened," Rarity said in a gentle voice.

"How?"

"I saw them at Sugarcube corner."

"Oh." Tears began to spill from her eyes. Rarity moved closer to comfort her sister.

"Don't be bothered by this Sweetie Belle. You have to let it go. Scootaloo is happy. Button Mash is happy. Scootaloo isn't doing this to make you upset. She likes him, she's happy," Sweetie Belle sighed.

"I guess you're right."

"You and Scootaloo will still be friends. You and Button can be friends. You'll find somepony. Be happy, you're pursuing your dream." Sweetie Belle smiled a bit.

"Thanks, Rarity. I needed this." Rarity left the room. Sweetie Belle felt a little better but she was still upset. Button wouldn't love her. He never would. Besides, she didn't love anypony else. She only loved him. Or so she thought.

Author's Note

Okay here's all my bad puns:

1)Horseapple store- Apple store. I know it sucks but it was either this or pear store.

2) Mage and Bubble's- Dave and Buster's
