At the Gala

Scootaloo awkwardly flapped her wings. “Um... so...”
Sweetie Belle hovered her book in front of her, placing it down. “I have something for you Scootaloo.”
The pegasus’ face flushed red. “W - What is it Sweets?”

Sweetie giggled. “Close your eyes silly~”
Scootaloo exhaled and closed her eyes. “Now hold out your hooves.”
The unicorn hovered something into Scootaloo’s hooves, “Now open them!”

She opened her eyes and gasped happily. A single Great Galloping Gala ticket sat in her hooves.
“Will you go to the Gala with me Scootaloo? It could be a... first date of sorts, I suppose.” Sweetie Belle blushed. Scootaloo smiled, giving her marefriend a peck on the forehead. “I guess that’s a yes?”
Scootaloo chuckled. “Of course!”

“I’m not ready for the Gala!” Scootaloo exclaimed.
Rumble sighed. “Okay, and? What do you want me to do?”
“I don’t know! Other then Sweets, you know me better then anypony else!” Scootaloo answered.
“Also Scoots, you’re interrupting mine and Button’s date.” Rumble growled.
“Oh... Heheh... Sorry...” Scootaloo flew away, thoughts flying around her head.

“Scootaloo, ah get that ah’m a Crusader like y’all, but ah still don’t see why yer askin’ me about this.” Apple Bloom said simply.
“Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease Apple Bloom! I’m not ready! Please teach me how to do date!” Scootaloo groaned.
“Okay, okay, fine. Sheesh, maybe y’all should calm down a little.” Apple Bloom said. She grabbed a book from her closet, pulling it out. “Here. This book has pictures of all of mine and Tender Taps’ dates.”
“You mean your one date?” Scootaloo asked, flipping through it.
“Don’t make me take the book back.” Apple Bloom deadpanned.
“Fair enough.”

“Uuuugh! I don’t know anything about dating!” Scootaloo exclaimed.
“Scoots are you okay?” Rainbow Dash asked, pushing Scootaloo’s door open.
“No! Sweetie-Belle-invited-me-to-the-Gala-on-a-date-but-I’m-not-ready-for-a-date-because-I-don’t-know-how-to-date-and-I-asked-Rumble-and-Apple-Bloom-but-neither-of-them-helped-like-at-all-and!” Rainbow Dash put her hoof on Scootaloo’s mouth, stopping her.

“Breath Scoots.” Rainbow Dash said. “Trust me, on mine and Twi’s first date, I was nervous too.”
“You were? The awesomest pony ever and the bestest big sister ever - nervous at a date?!” Scootaloo gasped.
“Yeah. It was my first date since high school, so I didn’t know what to do. But I asked Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie what to do, and they helped me.” Rainbow Dash smiled. “So trust me when I say - be yourself Scoots. Don’t put on a better guise - she won’t buy it, and she loves you because you’re you.”
Scootaloo smiled. “Y - Yeah. You’re right. I’m gonna go get my Gala dress from when I was your plus one. Rarity has it, and I’ll be able to see... Sweetie Belle!”
Hearts surrounded her, as she flew in a trance to Carousel Boutique.

“Here you go Scootaloo, darling.” Rarity hovered the dress to Scootaloo. The pegasus went into the dressing room, putting it on. Still fits!
She heard trotting down the stairs. “Scoots?”
She peeked out of the dressing room. “Hi Sweets!”

Sweetie smiled. “You already have your dress on?” she giggled. “Oh well. What do I expect from you anyways?”
“Who’re you going with Rarity?” Scootaloo asked.
“Hm? Oh! I’m going with Applejack. Rainbow’s going with Twilight, and Fluttershy with Pinkie Pie. I’m not sure about Apple Bloom or... what’s his name? Button, is it?” Rarity asked.
“Yep! Button’s going with Rumble.” Sweetie Belle paused as Rarity and Scootaloo stared at her. “What? Even if I don’t like him anymore, he’s still my best friend. Besides you, Scoots.”

Scootaloo smiled. “And AB is going with Tender Taps. Anyways... When is the Gala?”
“Tomorrow night. About... hmm... five o’clock until... six-thirty or so?” Rarity said, hovering a dress out of the closet. It was the dress she had worn to the Gala the same year the Scootaloo wore hers.
“Excited for the Gala Sweets?” Scootaloo asked.
“Yep! How could I not be!?” Sweetie excitedly asked.

Scootaloo shrugged as she went up to Sweetie Belle’s room. “Wanna have a sleepover?!”
“Sure! We always do them at your house, so it’ll be cool to do one at mine!” Sweetie Belle squeaked as she got a sleeping bag and easily unfurled it with her magic. It was an orange-and-purple one.
“You had my sleeping bag? May I ask why?” Scootaloo raised an eyebrow.
“I... uh... heh heh....” Sweetie Belle blushed from embarrassment. “You’d forgotten it so I kinda took it...”

Scootaloo sighed and hugged Sweetie Belle. “That’s why I love you. Well maybe we could watch a movie!”
Sweetie Belle nodded, hovering the DVD cases off of the shelf. “The Little Seapony... Beauty and the Dragon... Cinderella... Marepunzel... Hm...”
“I like Cinderella! Oh! And - okay I just like all of them except the Little Seapony...” Scootaloo awkwardly giggled.

Sweetie Belle hovered Cinderella into the DVD player as she snuggled with Scootaloo. “I’ll get some popcorn. Ooh! And maybe I can convince Rares to let us make s’mores!”
Scootaloo smiled, pulling a blanket over her head as the movie started.

“But, you see, I have the other slipper.” Cinderella said in the movie, as it ended.
“Good, yawn, movie.” Scootaloo said, finishing a s’more. “I’mma hit the deck now. G’night Sweets.”
Sweetie Belle smiled, eating another s’more. “But I wanted to play truth or daaare!”
“Oh fine. Truth or dare?” Scootaloo asked.
“Truth!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

Scootaloo opened her eyes as she looked at the pony who would be sleeping next to her. Hm? Where’s Sweets?
She tumbled out of bed, as she saw a note in Sweetie’s hornwriting. Let’s see if she uses some words that make her a dictionary...

Dear Scoots,
Sorry but I decided to get some food before the Gala. Be back in an hour or two.

Sweets :heart:

Scootaloo smiled as she put the note down. She jumped back on the bed. The Gala’s today! Eeeeeeeeeeee!
She jumped downstairs, seeing Rarity. “Oh! Scootaloo! Sweetie Belle went for breakfast before the Gala. I decided to make some breakfast for you!”
“Oooh! What is it?!” Scootaloo asked. The unicorn hovered a bowl with cereal in it to her. “Oh...”
“Sorry, Scootaloo, darling, but I didn’t have any other breakfasty foods besides toast.” Rarity said, sitting down and eating her cereal.

At least it has milk... Scootaloo thought as she ate it. I hope that Sweets is having fun... eating breakfast... alone... in Celestia knows where...

“Some chocolate pancakes please!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed, hovering the menu in front of her. The waiter nodded and soon brought some pancakes. “Thanks!”
Sweetie Belle ate her pancakes, as Apple Bloom, who she was eating with, stared at her. “What? I like chocolate pancakes!”

“No, there’s nothin’ wrong with that, but ya used the filly and colts’ menu.” Apple Bloom said, eating her apple cereal.
“So? I’m the least mature out of all three of us silly!” Sweetie Belle bit into her pancakes, savoring the chocolate flavor. “Mmm!”
“Y’all excited fer the Gala? ‘Cause ah sure am!” Apple Bloom exclaimed, taking another bite of her cereal.
“Yeah! Scoots is too! EEEEEEEE!” Sweetie Belle finished her pancakes, before teleporting to her room.

“I! Can’t! Wait!” Scootaloo exclaimed, bouncing up and down on the seats of the train. “EEEEEEEE!”
“Me neither! I can’t wait!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed. “It’s the best first date we could ever have! EEEEEEEE!”

The train stopped, as the two of them ran into the castle. “We’re at the Gala! We’re at the Gala!”
“Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, maybe calm down a bit?” Rarity suggested. “N - No offense, of course, you might just... er... ruin the Gala for everypony.”
“But hasn’t it been ruined by somepony everytime since Twilight came to Ponyville? If I remember right,” Sweetie Belle said, “you and your friends ruined the Gala when Twi came to Ponyville.”
“Well, yes,” Applejack said, “yer right, but still, that doesn’t mean that it’ll happen this year. Although ah will admit, it would be interesting if something did go wrong again.”
“AJ!” Rarity growled.
“What? Ah’m the Element of Honesty, ah can’t lie.” Applejack said. “How about we dance.”

The Gala seemed less formal then last time Sweetie and Scootaloo were there. Instead of Octavia and some other ponies playing music, DJ Pon-3 played music. There was food, some of it fancy, but overall it was apple pie and other non-fancy foods. Apple Bloom wasn’t near her sister and fellow Crusaders, but rather, the food table. “How much is one apple pie?”

Sweetie Belle sighed. “Wanna dance Scoots?”
“Sure!” Scootaloo exclaimed, dragging Sweetie Belle over to the dance floor. Scootaloo flapped her wings and jumped up and down, fluttering her wings. Sweetie Belle giggled as Scootaloo danced. “Heh heh! You’re so silly Scoots!”
“I know.” Scootaloo blushed. Her stomach rumbled. “I’m hungry, are you hungry, I am, wanna get some food?”

The two fillies looked at the food table. They had bits for food, and Sweetie Belle hovered some out of her saddlebag. “How much for an apple pie and two glasses of soda?”
“Ten bits.” the pony at the table said. He was a unicorn stallion with a bluey-white coat and a cutie mark of various food and drink items.
Sweetie Belle hovered the ten bits to him, hovering an apple pie and two glasses of soda to a table with nopony sitting at it.

“Hay! Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo!” Apple Bloom called from another table. “Wanna come sit with me and Tender Taps?”
Sweetie Belle smiled, hovering their food and drink to Apple Bloom and Tender Taps’ table.
“Are y’all havin’ fun. Cause me and Tender Taps sure are! We already got a bunch of apple pies and!” Tender Taps covered his marefriend’s mouth with an orange hoof.
“AB, calm down a bit.” Tender Taps sighed. “Yeah, I’m having fun, too, we danced and I had fun. And now we’re eating a bunch of apple pies... AB, I’m gonna get some chocolate cupcakes or something. Be right back.”

Pinkie Pie was sneaking underneath the food table with Fluttershy. “Um... Pinkie... Why aren’t we just buying the food? We have bits...”
“Yeah but that doesn’t mean that I want to pay! We don’t even have enough bits to buy all of the desserts!” Pinkie Pie explained.
“Um...” the waiter looked under the table. “Just pay one hundred bits and then I’ll give you... hmm... half of the desserts...”
“Okie dokie lokie!” Pinkie Pie slammed the bits on the table, and the waiter gave her half of the desserts. “Thankies!”

Tender Taps came back to the table with some chocolate cupcakes and an ice cream cone for Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and himself.
A vanilla one for Sweetie Belle, a chocolate one for him and Scootaloo, and a strawberry one for Apple Bloom.
“Mmm! Thanks Tender Taps!” Apple Bloom smiled.

Truly this was the best Gala. It wasn’t chaotic, but sometimes that was good. It was the Best Night Ever.
