Auntie Rarity

Apple Bloom's POV

Another day where Sweetie's not coming to school. I don't remember the last time I saw her, but she hasn't been in school since the first day. I knew she'd be gone for a while, but not more than a month! I really don't think she's coming back, but talk about her is worse than ever! I get so angry when I hear someone say something about her! Not as mad as Scootaloo though, that's just scary.

"How do you think Sweetie is?" Scootaloo asked as if she had been reading my mind.

"Well I hope she's doin' alright. I'm still really mad about the whole Shadow thing."

"Yeah me too! We should go see him! Pay him a little visit, know what I mean?" She smiled with a plan.

Scootaloo's POV

Apple Bloom and I ditched school. We spend too much time there anyway, so one day won't kill us. We went straight to the college that Shadow Strings was going to. It wasn't thank far of a walk, but it was such a beautiful campus. Too bad it's wasted on a stupid hustler. Apple Bloom and I walked up the stairs to his dorm and knocked on his door.

"Hang on!" I heard him call. He opened the door and his mane was messy. He looked like he was out of breath and his face got angry. "What?" He asked angrily and to the point. He had his hoof on the door, ready to slam it.

"Don't even think about closing this door! You got Sweetie Belle pregnant, yelled at her, and then hit her! We're her best friends and there is no way we'll let you get away with all this!" I said stepping closer and closer to his face. When I was close enough to feel him breathe I looked in the dorm and saw a mare on his bed! She looked about twenty, and had a scowl. She had a messy gold mane and she was a light tint of pink. She looked disgusting.

"You got some kid pregnant?!" She asked picking up her bags. "We're over." She scoffed walking out of the room and shoving me. If I wasn't so angry at Shadow I would have ripped her mane out!

"You just made Candy break up with me!" He growled.

"You broke Sweetie Belle's heart! Don't you care that your foal is going to be all on her own?!"

"No! She's not mine as far as I'm concerned. I don't love her. I don't love her mother either. Not anymore." He said coldly.

"You don't deserve to! You're worse than trash! You're like the worst pony in Equestria! I hope that-" I stopped Apple Bloom to put in my words.

"I hope that your next girlfriend realizes how pathetic you are before you get her pregnant too!"

"Don't worry I may not have cared enough about Sweetie to protect ourselves, but other girls actually matter." He said slamming the door. I slammed the door back open and jumped onto his back. I started punching him and kicking him and Apple Bloom bit his ear.

"Sweetie Belle does matter!" I fought. He threw me off of him and flew into me. Apple Bloom grabbed onto his tail and he hit her repetitively in the face.

"Get away from her!" I yelled as he pulled me down too. It was crazy how strong he was. He threw Apple Bloom across the room and then pointed out the door.

"Don't come back! Any of you ponies!" He yelled slamming the door.

We walked back to Ponyville and we noticed it was too late to go back to school. It had been over for a while. We just went straight home trying to pretend we hadn't just fought with our friend's foal's daddy.

Apple Bloom's POV

I walked into my house fast as I could so I could clean up my face before anypony could see, but of course Apple Jack saw me.

"Where yall off to in such a hurry?" She asked from behind me.

"Just gotta go." I said not turning around. She grabbed me and turned me around, and her jaw dropped open.

"What in Equestria happened Apple Bloom?!" She asked lookin' all over me.

"I went to talk to Shadow and he was bad talking Sweetie Belle! He just attacked Scootaloo and me." I explained as she bandaged up me up and put ice on my legs.

"Big Macintosh!" My sister hollered. He came runnin' down the hallway and started inspecting me too. They were both worried sick, but I pushed them away.

"I'm fine! I'm not a baby!" I yelled. They both backed away a bit.

"No one said you were Apple Bloom!" Apple Jack fought.

"But you always treat me like one! Ponies get hurt! They don't need their big siblings to be in their faces!" Big Mac stepped closer to me.

"And if you were grown you'd realize sometimes ponies need help!" He snapped. We were all three standing there in silence. I just hated them treating me like a young little filly. I'm grown! I'm almost full grown! I'm not a mother yet, but I'm still grown up!

Scootaloo's POV

I went back to Cloudsdale and Rainbow Dash was there! She saw how hurt my wing was from Shadow and she helped me fix it up. I explained everything that went down and she promised she'd tell all of her friends about it and they'd do something. Shadow is such a jerk and I worry that he might try to hurt Sweetie, or the kid.

"Hey Scootaloo, come with me, let's go tell everyone together." Rainbow asked. I felt my face light up and I flew beside her. We flew straight to the group. Flying beside Rainbow Dash was my dream when I was a kid. I really love it even now! Soaring with the wind in my mane next to the fastest flyer in Equestria. Even though I know she slows down a lot so I don't feel bad. We made it to Twilight's house super fast and I knocked on the door.

"Hello Rainbow Dash! Hello Scootaloo!" Twilight greeted.

"Twilight we have a problem!" I started.

"Let me handle this kid. Get everyone together, especially Rarity." Rainbow Dash demanded.

"Why? Does it have anything to do with Scootaloo's injuries?" Twilight asked finally noticing them. "Did something horrible happen?" She asked.

"Yeah and its name is Shadow Strings.

Rarity's POV

Twilight insisted I go to her house this afternoon for some emergency meeting. I went reluctantly because I wanted to be there for my friends of course, but my pregnant sister needed me too.

"I bet you five are wondering why you're here, but Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo brought it to my attention that Shadow Strings fought Scootaloo and hurt her horribly. Something has to be done with this young stallion!" Twilight explained as my heart hurt.

"He also fought Apple Bloom! He was trash talkin' Sweetie Belle." Apple Jack brought up.

"Trash talking her?!" I asked in shock. "She's the victim who was impregnated and left!" I remembered out loud.

"Fluttershy what has Shadow said on the matter?" Twilight asked. She looked down and up at us all from under her mane.

"He keeps getting angry when I try to ask…and saying very mean things."

"What kind of things?" I asked before she could take another breath.

"I don't like to use the kind of language he does…" She said quietly.

"He curses about my sister?!" I asked in shock.

"Well, he usually just calls her horrible things, but I know she's not horrible Rarity." She frowned.

"Of course she's not! She's a classy, beautiful young mare. She's actually not a mare and shouldn't be having to give birth so soon, but it's too late now. I'd appreciate him not referring to her in negative ways, however." I told her.

"So I think we all need to be cautious of Shadow and make sure he stays in line, alright girls?" Twilight asked. I sighed and nodded.

"He's not allowed near my sister anyway, so that's not a problem at all." I told her. To avoid the awkward silence Twilight let us leave and I decided to go to the market for a few things, and to clear my head a bit.

"Hello Rarity!" I heard an annoying nasally voice from behind me. I turned around and forced a smile onto my face.

"Hello Diamond Tiara." I laughed a bit fake. She was standing there with her awful friend Silver Spoon.

"What brings you here today?" She asked.

"Just finding fabric and then grabbing food for Sweetie and me." I explained trying to walk away.

"Oh yes, how is Sweetie and her condition?" She asked starkly.

"She's fine thank you dear." I said trying to walk away. "Goodbye."

"Rarity seems off in a rush doesn't she? Almost as if Sweetie's got to be watched because she's so sex crazed." Silver spoon joined in.

"Yes, and say hello to your whore of a sister for me!" She smiled.

"Now you wait just a moment. My sister's condition has nothing to reflect on her character! She's innocent! She made onemistake! She's young, and I know I've heard about you two with several stallions behind the school! Leave my sister alone!" I said. I cleared my throat trying to calm myself down. "Goodbye." I turned around.

Sweetie Belle's POV

My stomach is huge and it keeps growing every day! It makes me really uncomfortable, but I know my little filly is going to be the most beautiful foal that was ever born. I heard a knock at my door and Rarity came into my room and sat next to me, placing a hoof on my leg.

"Darling, do you ever worry about what ponies say about you?" She asked. I thought for a minute and slumped down.

"I cry sometimes when I see how ponies stare at me, but I don't care what they say about me. I just don't like it when they call my baby a mistake." I said closer and closer to tears as I finished the sentence. My heart was beating fast and then Rarity petted my mane.

"Sweetie Belle she was a surprise, and while the…you know, was a mistake, this darling foal is not." She promised kissing my cheek.

"It was a mistake to be with Shadow, but do you think my daughter will hate me for getting rid of her father?" I asked shyly.

"She's got a mother better than two ponies put together."

"Plus the most fabulous auntie in Equestria." I said hugging her.

"Now, let's go feed the two of you." She smiled standing and walking out with me.

Apple Bloom's POV

Everyone was starin' at Scootaloo and me. I understand that we're hurt and they look at us to see what happened, but they're laughing at us for being hurt? Ponies our age don't respect nobody's feelings!

"Apple Bloom! Scootaloo! What happened to you two?" Diamond Tiara asked in a pretend caring voice.

"Yeah it looks like someone beat you with an ugly stick, and then beat you up." Silver Spoon giggled.

"Sweetie Belle's ex beat us up." Scootaloo said with a snap. "I don't see you two prissy jerks standing up for each other! Wait until you get pregnant Diamond Tiara! It won't be long considering how much you sleep around!"

"Are you looking for another fight, you stupid chicken?!" She shoved Scootaloo and I stopped the fight before it happened.

"We don't need any more darn fightin'!" I confronted them. Diamond Tiara left in a huff and Silver Spoon scoffed at me.

"We just need to calm down. Sweetie's fine, she's at home growing a baby in her stomach. There's no reason for us to get angry. Everything is perfect!" Scootaloo said pretending to be me before I could say it.

"You don't need to go attacking every pony over every little thing though!" I told her.

"Maybe the real pony I should be fighting is you!" She said pulling my mane with her teeth. I tried to control myself, but then I jumped onto her back and started punching her.

"Girls! Girls!" Miss Cheerilee said tearing us apart. "Stop it! You two are best friends!" She tried to remind us.

"No we are not! Not anymore!" Scootaloo growled turning around.
