At the clubhouse, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were pacing around, wondering what to do! After they heard Fluttershy say something revealing about her relationship with Twilight, they were in utter shock!

“What the hay happened?!” Applebloom asked in shock. “Ever since Fluttershy revealed her relationship, she and Twilight are actin' like grade-A goofballs!”

“Maybe they wanted us to guess.” Scootaloo suggested.

“Or wanted to keep it a secret.” Sweetie Belle thought. “Or maybe...” Just then, something clicked in her mind that they had experienced something like this before! “Uh-oh.”

“Whaddaya mean, ‘uh-oh?!’” Applebloom asked quizzically, wanting to know what was going on.

“We might not have known Twilight and Fluttershy were under the Andaluasian stars. We may have known that they were under the stars, but the effect was similar to the love poison.“ Sweetie Belle said.

Applebloom and Scootaloo were shocked, as they used that love poison on Big Mac and Cheerliee to make them fall in love, but apparently, it went too far. “What?!” they both asked flabbergasted.

“Apparently, the Andaluasian were a series of stars that were lost in the sky one time, and Rarity had found one of those stars.” Sweetie Belle replied to her friends. “She may have started a cosmic mystery to find those particular stars and Fluttershy and Twilight have been friends for a long time now. We thought they were just best friends, but somehow, Fluttershy had that lovey-Dovey feeling towards her. She told Discord and that’s when things didn’t turn out so well for him.”

“How "not so well" did things turn out?” Applebloom asked, getting nervous by the minute.

“Well...Okay. Apparently, it was all because Discord had a special somepony who had a crush on him, but wanted to wreck stuff for pure evil! Discord imprisoned her in the stars, and somehow, they possessed Twilight....making her fall in love with Discord, but I think Fluttershy had a bigger heart for her than Discord...”

Just then, Sweetie Belle put 2 and 2 together as she realized what happened that fateful night, when Applejack and Rainbow Dash told Rarity, making them head back to Ponyville! “Remember when Rainbow Dash and Applejack ran to tell Rarity that night, when we were looking for those constellation stars???” Her friends nodded. “Well, it turns out, DURING that talk with the others in our room, we noticed that Twilight’s belly looked bigger.” She gasped. “It turned out she was PREGNANT because she had sex with Fluttershy, because her friend confessed her love her...which explains why they wanted us to head back to Ponyville! Rainbow, Applejack and my sister had found out about their sex session that night, and now we know about their relationship!” Sweetie Belle said in shock.

“Great!” Applebloom said in total frustration. “We've not only found out about what Twilight and Fluttershy did and how they did it, but we may have put their relationship in jeopardy!”

“Come on, Applebloom.” Scootaloo tried to calm her down. “Twilight and Fluttershy are our friends, and they don't have any ‘royal duties’ like Big Mac and Cheerliee, so it may not be that bad.”

“But they still got responsibilities.” Applebloom warned her friends, with panic rising up in her voice. “If we don't fix this... Oh no! Twilight won't be able to spread friendship. Fluttershy won't be able to help her animals, and before you know it... Ponyville will be overrun with ponies and creatures in without any help or kindness, and our whole community will be torn apart! Oh, it'll be chaos! It'll be chaos!“ The farm filly was already at her breaking point, but she didn’t want things to get any worse than it was now.

“There's an antidote!” Sweetie Belle reassured her friend, who was already in panic attack mode.

“Well, why didn't you say so?” Applebloom asked all stressed out. “Didn't you see me Twilightin’ back there?”

“Wait...” Sweetie Belle said to her friend. “You made ‘Twilighting’ a verb?!”

“Oh, no!” Scootaloo said in shock as she just heard her friend say the word, “twilighting”. “Now, Rainbow’s got YOU saying it!”

“Wait, she STARTED that phrase?” Applebloom asked in sudden shock.

“Yes!” Scootaloo said, stressed out. “It was after she heard about the announcement that Celestia and Luna were giving Twilight and the others about there being no monsters...and then, Twilight was stressed out, that Rainbow made her a verb by adding her name! Discord thought she had this under control, but Twilight was on full panic attack when she heard this news.” The other two Crusaders were stunned by what the orange Pegasus filly had just said, recalling what happened before the Mane 6 defeated King Sombra with the elements.

“Wow!” Sweetie Belle said in shock. “I didn’t know Rainbow Dash actually started that phrase...I thought Rainbow said words like “egghead” or “bookworm”.”

“Well, if you add Twilight to any word in Rainbow’s dictionary...” Applebloom said in curiosity and jokingly “...it can tend to get a little silly.”

“Okay, but THAT’S BESIDES THE POINT!” Scootaloo shouted in mere frustration, that they were missing the point about their friends’ relationship. “We need to get back on track, and figure out what to do if we know about what Twilight and Fluttershy did and how we’re gonna do it!” The other two nodded in agreement.

“Well, I DID say that we had an antidote for how to handle the fact that we know about Twilight and Fluttershy.” Sweetie Belle started to say.

“Well, tell us!” Applebloom said. “Lay it on us, already!”

“If we can tell them that we know about what they did, all our worries will be over.” Sweetie told them the plan.

“Uh, I don’t know about that.” The farm filly said to her, a little suspicious.

“It was a good suggestion, Sweetie Belle. But, they probably might get weird about things like that.” Scootaloo warned her. “I don’t think they would want us to tell anyone.”

“But, how else are we going to tell them if we KNOW about their relationship?” Sweetie Belle asked worriedly.

“I don’t know, girls.” The orange Pegasus filly told them. “The best we can probably do is stay calm.”

“But how long can we keep hiding the fact that we know?” The white unicorn filly asked. “And, how do we know what to do?”

“When we decide to tell them?” Scootaloo told them. “Pfh. Relax! We can pull that off in a second.“

“I hope you’re right, Scootaloo.” Applebloom told her friend. “I sure don’t wanna wait until the right time, not knowin’ anything.”

“Don’t worry, girls.” Scootaloo told them. “Everything’s gonna be fine! When the time comes, we’ll have it under control! No biggie! Just trust me.”

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were a little unsure about what to do when they decide to tell Twilight and Fluttershy that they knew about their relationship. But, Scootaloo was all confident, telling them when the right time came, they’d finally tell them, and they wouldn’t have to hide their secret any longer. They just had to wait when the time was right. Then, they would execute their plan.
