A shot in the dark

A SHOT IN THE DARK

“She sewed what?!” Twilight asked incredulously.

“Yeah, but I don't think she even realizes she did. That and they gave each other a confused look when Scootaloo came downstairs.” Sweetie Belle replied looking at the purple unicorn whom sighed with a facehoofing gesture upon hearing this.

“I knew lingering emotions would remain, but for them to surface so strongly within Rarity for her to actually sew that...” Twilight remarked aloud as she paced back and forth now.

“You don't think they might remember do you? I don't want to see my big sister depressed and going crazy again.” Sweetie Belle said with a worried expression now.

“I highly doubt that is going to happen.” Twilight replied reassuringly yet that fear in itself did weigh on the back of her mind. While she was at least ninety percent sure they wouldn't be able to remember anything physically, she had forgotten to take into account the equine soul which remembers everything even if the pony themselves don't.

“I need to research this. I'll get back to you when I know more Sweetie Belle.” Twilight replied and began to levitate books from her bookshelves and pile them in front of her.

“Okay Twilight, I'll stop by later. I'm going to go and see Cheerilee now.” The unicorn filly replied and left the purple unicorn to her cram session.

Scootaloo gave a heavy sigh as she lay next to her idol in an afterglow. “What the hay is wrong with me? I've done it with Rainbow Dash plenty of times and had a blast. So why do I feel as if I'm cheating on somepony?” The orange Pegasus thought to herself dismally as she looked out the window of the cyan blue Pegasus's cloud home.

As the filly continued to stare at the passing clouds for a fleeting moment she could have swore she saw Rarity's face in one of them, slammed both hooves on her face, and groaned loudly. “What the buck is wrong with me?!” The filly exclaimed aloud without meaning too which caused Rainbow Dash to turn and look at her with an startled expression.

“Something wrong? I didn't do anything did I?” The cyan blue Pegasus asked curiously with a worried expression.

“No, it's nothing you did. It's about Rarity, for some reason I can't stop thinking about her.” Scootaloo replied as she sat up, put her hind legs over the side of the bed and stared out the window again.

“Maybe I can help you take your mind off her.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied with a smirk as she ran a hoof along the filly's wing sensually only for the filly to gently push her hoof away.

“I'm going to fly home now. See you later Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo replied absentmindedly as she hopped off the bed and quickly left her idol's house and to the skies.

“I wish I knew what was wrong with me. First I find myself staring at Rarity's backside wishing she would lift her tail and let me eat her out, and now I feel like I've just cheated on somepony. The two must be connected somehow, but I can't figure out why.” The orange Pegasus thought to herself with an audible sigh as Rarity's house slowly came into view.

While it was still mid-day, it was the weekend and she was free to go where she liked with the exception of leaving Ponyville or entering the Everfree forest. But for some reason, she just wanted to see Rarity right now.

Scootaloo landed on the ground with a slight stumble just a few feet short of Rarity's house now. She was getting better at her landings which was something she was very proud of. The orange filly opened the front door to see Rarity speaking with a well dressed prim and proper looking mare.

“Ah, you must be Scootaloo, I was just speaking to your parental guardian. I will be assigning you a social worker and I'll be keeping taps on your adjustment to living with Rarity.” The mare remarked as she extended a hoof out to the filly but she didn't respond.

“Nice to meet you I guess.” Scootaloo replied in an unsure tone.

“The social worker will be over in a fifteen minutes. Have a nice day.” The mare replied as she walked past the filly and out the door.

“A social worker?” Scootaloo asked curiously as she looked at the white unicorn.

“I must say while this isn't unexpected, it is very inconvenient timing. I have a dress order that simply must be delivered on time today.” Rarity remarked aloud with a sigh and looked at Scootaloo. “If I can concentrate long enough to even finish it.” She added a few moments later.

It was at this point that Sweetie Belle was walking in and noticed the two staring at one another. “Here we go again.” The white unicorn filly thought to herself with a sigh which caused the white unicorn to look at her.

“Sweetie Belle, you look positively flushed darling. Are you okay?” Rarity asked with a look of concern.

The unicorn filly opened her mouth to speak but stopped before a single word came out before she accidentally told her that she was at Cheerilee's house. “Y-yes. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired is all, I've been playing really hard.” Sweetie Belle replied finally after a few moments and quickly left the room but watched from the kitchen unknown to the two.

“R-Rarity, I think there's something wrong with me.” Scootaloo said finally after a few moments unable to hold it in any longer.

“You aren't sick are you?” The white unicorn asked with a look of concern now.

“N-No, but you've been on my mind all day and I don't know why.” The Pegasus confessed and sighed.

Upon hearing this the white unicorn went slightly pale and bit her lower lip. Truth be told, Scootaloo had been on her's all day as well and she also had no idea why. “I see.” was all the unicorn could utter as she walked over to Scootaloo and sat in front of her.

“Is there something wrong with me?” Scootaloo asked with a look worry now on her face.

Upon hearing this the unicorn hugged the filly, placed her chin on her shoulder, and ran her hoof along her back sensually. “No darling, nothing at all.” Rarity said in a reassuringly.

As the unicorn held her the same mysterious feeling she felt towards the filly was becoming more and more strong with each passing moment. “Scootaloo I...” Rarity began to say but trailed off as she moved away so that she looked directly into the filly's eyes whom looked back.

Unknown to the two and without any knowledge the gap between their faces slowly began to close until...

“Excuse me.” An unknown voice spoke up which caused the unicorn to snap her face in the direction of the voice having been barely an inch from the filly's which caused her mane to whip the Pegasus a crossed the face which caused her to flinch slightly and blink several times wondering what they were about to do.

“Ah, you must be the social worker! My name is Rarity and you are?” Rarity asked curiously as she stepped away from the filly and up to the social worker.

“My name is Rosemary Pettleworth but you can call me Rose.” Rose replied as she looked about the house. “Is your home always in this condition?” Rose asked as she looked about which caused Rarity to go slightly pale.

“Well, I like to call it organized chaos, but not always.” Rarity replied with a nervous giggle.

“Right, and is this always here?” Rose asked as she pointed to a spot of the room which consisted of a pile of sewing needles, sharp gemstones, and a few chisels.

“N-No, of course not! Just forgot to tidy up is all..eh-heh.” The white unicorn replied in a hasty tone as she quickly levitated the objects and put them up high as Rose walked into the kitchen to see Sweetie Belle whom up until the social worker had walked in was watching the two and was now attempting to cook but unfortunately for her she was once again burning everything.

Rose saw this at which point her right eyebrow rose slightly in suspicion. “Do you always let them cook unsupervised?” Rose asked curiously at which point Rarity rushed to the kitchen and felt her chest turn ice cold.

“Of course not.” Rarity remarked aloud looking completely nerve shot now as Sweetie Belle attempted to levitate a cup of juice to the social worker only for it to catch on fire a mere foot from her face.

“Ah! Why is it doing that? It's not supposed to be doing that!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in alarm at which point Rarity grabbed the cup with her own magic and put the fire out.

“Fillies..eh-heh. Gotta love them right?” Rarity said as she ran past the social worker, opened the door and began to rummage through it. “Care for some juice?” Rarity asked in a nervous tone at which point the social worker stepped up behind her with her eyes narrowed and slowly closed the door.

“Allow me to enlighten you on the precarious situation you have found yourself in.” Rose said as she looked at Rarity now who was looking at her.

“I'm the one they call when things have gone wrong.” Rose said as she looked about the kitchen which was littered with burnt foods. “And things have indeed gone wrong.” Rose remarked as she glared at the unicorn for a few moments longer before she turned around, left the room, and walked up to Scootaloo whom at this moment was staring at Rarity as if in a daze.

“I can't stop thinking about her...” The Pegasus remarked as if in a trance at which point the mare widened her eyes in shock yet with a sense of curiosity before she spoke. “If have any questions or anypony makes you feel uncomfortable, Don't hesitate to come to my office.” Rose said aloud and placed a small piece of paper next to the filly before she walked up to the front door with Rarity quickly there to open the door for her only for the mare to open it herself before she could.

“In case you're wondering, this did not go well.” Rose remarked before she closed the door behind herself with a loud slam.

“What could have gone wrong? What did I do? This was her first visit for pony's sake.” Rarity remarked aloud in confusion.

“Does she know about me and Dashie?” The Pegasus thought to herself in a worried tone.

“This can't be good...” Sweetie Belle remarked aloud in a worried tone.

The door opened up once again but this time Cheerilee came walking through it as she stared at the three at which point a look of worry washed over her face. “Did I come at a bad time?” Cheerilee asked aloud curiously.

“Miss Cheerilee, can I talk to you about my math homework?” The unicorn filly asked making sure to put emphasis on the last two words in order to code them in a way that the dark purple mare would catch on which she did easily.

“As long as it's okay with your sister.” Cheerilee replied looking at Rarity whom looked distracted.

“Oh yes, of course. I'm sorry, I'm just a little frazzled today, what with the social worker coming over and my dress order I need to fulfill.” Rarity replied after a few moments before she walked over to her sewing machine and resumed working on the dress.

“And that's everything. Do you think she knows about us?” Sweetie Belle asked after giving a detailed explanation of what happened with the social worker's visit.

“I don't know Sweetie, I don't think she does. I understand why they would send a special cases social worker, Scootaloo was after all traumatized for years because of her father raping her, but as to why she would be suspicious of Rarity's motives to adopting Scootaloo baffles me. It's not as if the two had done anything before they had their memories wiped or had been affectionate with one another in public.” Cheerilee remarked aloud and placed a hoof on her chin in thought as the two sat at a park bench in town square as silence ensued between the two.

“I think we should try and get them back together.” Sweetie Belle said after a few moments.

“But Sweetie Belle, that's impossible without their memories. It's not like Rarity would ever consider dating Scootaloo without remembering what happened between them. And with that social worker now in the picture, it would be a bad idea to even try to.” Cheerilee replied looking at Sweetie Belle now whom had rested her head on the earth pony's shoulder.

“Maybe they don't need those memories. It's a shot in the dark, but those are are made for each other, like you and me are.” The filly replied as she nuzzled the earth pony affectionately with her cheek.

“Sweetie Belle, don't you go and play matcher.” Cheerilee remarked in a stern manner.

“Don't worry, I won't. I'm going to play cupid!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed with a wide smile only for the earth pony to make a facehoofing gesture.

“Those two are the same thing...” Cheerilee replied with a scowl as the filly hopped off and ran off back to her older sister's house.

-----------------------------------

I wish I knew what was wrong with me, why Rarity is on my mind all the time, why I feel like I do towards her. It's as if something inside me wants me to remember something. Something important. Well I plan to find out what that something is.

Something about this whole thing stinks, as if somepony's tampered with my memories. I may be young and not a unicorn, but it doesn't take a magical genius to figure out something magical is at work in the world we live in when all signs point to it. I think Rarity thinks the same thing but she isn't saying anything.

The orange Pegasus opened the door to Twilight's library and walked in to see books piled everywhere. “Hey Twilight, can I talk to you for a minute?” Scootaloo asked curiously which caused the purple unicorn to yank her face from behind a book and look at her.

If there was one pony in Ponyville who knew if I was under the effects of a spell, it was her.

“Sure Scootaloo, what is it? Sorry for the mess, I’m doing a whole lot of research on something at the moment.” Twilight replied as she levitated a pile of books out of the Pegasus's way so she could walk up to her.

The filly glanced at the books that lay about as she walked up to the purple unicorn but stopped as one caught her eye which was entitled. “Memory spells and their effects”.

Why would Twilight be researching memory spells? Probably just a coincidence, either way she should know exactly what's wrong with me if my suspicions are correct.

“Well, you see, Something has felt really off since I woke up this morning, like something important is missing that I should know or remember. I was wondering if you could help me by doing a spell to check and see if somepony has tampered with my memories or not.” Scootaloo asked curiously at which point Twilight's expression went pale.

“R-Really? A memory spell you say? Eh-heh, come on Scootaloo, you don't really think anypony would mess with your memories do you?” The unicorn replied nervously with an expression to match it.

Wait, why is she so nervous all the sudden for?

“Well, that's why I came to you. I wouldn't put it past Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon to get one of their friends to pull a prank on me and mess with my mind just for a laugh.” Scootaloo replied though this was not her real reason for asking.

“Sorry, but I can't do that right now. I'm really busy with studying right now, but feel free to look around.” The purple unicorn replied in the same nervous tone as before as she quickly put her face back in her book.

Okay, I'm no Sherlock hooves, but she knows something, I'm sure of it!

“Okay, I'll just take a look around then.” The filly replied as she quickly walked past her and upstairs to the unicorn's room only to see Spike whom was cleaning up the Twilight's and his bedroom.

“Hey, Spike. Any idea on what Twilight is studying so hard on? She seems really into it.” The Pegasus asked curiously at which point Spike literally dropped the pile of books he was carrying and stared at the Pegasus nervously.

“Nope, no idea!” The dragon replied a little too quickly which caused the orange Pegasus to look at him suspiciously.

“But you always know what she's up to. You are her number one assistant aren't you?” Scootaloo asked with a smile as she closed the door behind her with her right hind hoof.

This dragon knows something. Time to squeeze the details out of him and maybe a little more...hehe.

“Of course I am! I-I just don't know what she's looking up right now.” The dragon replied nervously as the filly walked closer to him.

“Oh come on Spikey-wikey, I know you better than that. Can't you tell little old me what she's so interested in right now?” The Pegasus replied in a sultry tone as she walked up to the dragon and ran her tail along his face which caused the dragon to blush crimson along with his tail standing erect now.

“I-I can't, I-I mean I don't know!” The dragon stuttered looking completely flustered now by the Pegasus's flirtatious actions as she ran her tail along the back of his neck now.

Ha! I knew it! He knows something. Now to squeeze it out of him...

“Your as bad at keeping secrets as Twilight is Spikey-wikey. Come on, tell me and I’ll make it worth your while.” Scootaloo replied as she walked about him now with her tail lifted giving the dragon a clear view of her hindquarters which caused him to go wide-eyed and blush even more now.

“L-Lower your tail Scootaloo! That's not how a filly should be acting!” The dragon exclaimed as he slammed both claws over his face.

“You must be so pent up, what with a town filled with mares and fillies and no female dragons to have fun with. I can only imagine what goes through that mind of yours with at night.” The filly remarked in the same sultry tone as she walked up to him and ran a hoof along his chest causing the dragon to shiver slightly at her touch.

Cut me some slack here and cave already will ya?!

“Would you cut it out Scootaloo! I know you're lesbian!” The dragon exclaimed abruptly and suddenly which caused the filly to halt what she was doing and stare at him.

Wait, what?! How could HE possibly know THAT?! I haven't told anypony except Rainbow Dash that I'm lesbian!

“How could you possibly know that?! Spill it Spike!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she tapped the dragon hard on the chest which caused him to stumble backward and fall onto his rump against the night table while at the same time knocking off a small chest which hit the floor in front of him and spilled it's contents onto the floor.

The filly looked at the objects on the floor until one in particular caught her eye. It was a photograph of an adult mare but that wasn't what made her stare at it as if in a trance...

FLASHBACK

“Now hold still Scootaloo.” Rarity said with a smile as she adjusted the camera towards the mare.

“Rarity, do I really have to do this?” The mare asked with an annoyed glare.

“Of course you do darling. You look absolutely beautiful in that dress!” The white unicorn remarked with a smile as she adjusted the camera a little more.

“R-Really?” The Pegasus asked with a blush.

“Of course you do darling, even if you are a tomboy, it never hurts a mare to look beautiful now and then. Now say cheese!” The unicorn exclaimed and she flashed the camera.

END FLASHBACK

“What is all the ruckus up here about? I'm trying to...” The purple unicorn began to exclaim in annoyance until her eyes fell upon the photograph on the floor and then at Scootaloo who's eyes were filled with tears at which point her eyes flattened along with a guilty expression.

What's wrong with me?! Why do I suddenly feel like crying? What was that memory about? And why did it only come back to me now?

“Wh-What did you do to me Twilight? Why am I crying right now? Why do I remember this photograph being taken but nothing else?” The filly asked her voice cracking now as she spoke.

“Tell me!” The Pegasus shrieked after a few more moments when the purple unicorn didn't respond.

I'm tired of the secrets, I'm tired of lies! I'll beat the answers out of her if I have to!

“I can't answer that...” Twilight replied after a few more moments with a sigh.

“But I can!” A voice pipped up which belonged to non-other than Sweetie Belle.

“Sweetie Belle, don't you dare tell her!” Twilight exclaimed in a stern tone.

“No, Twilight. I'm tired of playing by your rules! You had no right messing with their memories like that! Is that always your solution to everything?! First you make everypony forget about Rarity and Scootaloo and then you make the two of them forget about each other!” Sweetie Belle roared.

“But Sweetie Belle-”

“Oh, no! My sister is really sad because she can't bring herself to make love to Scootaloo whom she loves! Is there anyway we can help them?” The filly said in a mock tone then began to make a mock expression and gesture of Twilight.

“Of course there is! Lets wipe their memories! That's my solution to everything!” The filly exclaimed in a mock Twilight tone.

I had no idea what she was talking about right now, but one part of her rant stood out and confirmed my fears. Twilight had messed with my memories. This very fact both hurt and ticked me off to the point I had to use every fiber of my being not to pummel the horseapples out of her right now!

“My memories, give them back!” Scootaloo said as tears continued to stream from her eyes yet anger could be heard seething from her voice so strongly that it would suffocate a pony if it were breathable.

“I can't.” Twilight replied followed by a sigh only to get tackled to the floor by the Pegasus.

“What the bucking hay do you mean, you can't?! I'm tired of wondering what the hay is wrong with me Twilight! I'm tired of being tortured by seeing Rarity's face in just about everything I see! I want things to make sense again!” Scootaloo roared into the unicorn's face now.

“You can't, but Scootaloo can.” The unicorn filly said in a matter-of-fact tone which caused both the unicorn and Pegasus to stare at her and say “huh?!” nearly simultaneously.

“Where the hay did you find that out?” Twilight asked incredulously.

“Memory spells and me, page two-hundred and fifty three, under paragraph four.” The unicorn filly replied with a cocky smile.

Wow, right about now I wanted to change her nickname from the living dictionary to the living encyclopedia.

“Wait, where did you find that book? I scanned every shelf in my library and nothing said anything about that!” Twilight exclaimed incredulously.

As if on cue, the unicorn filly pulled a book out of her saddle-pack and handed it to Twilight whom immediately flipped the pages of the book to the spot the filly had mentioned. “You have gotta be kidding me...” The unicorn remarked in a disbelieving tone.

“What does it say?” Scootaloo asked as she stared at the purple unicorn now.

“This is too cliché! There's no way this can be accurate.” Twilight continued as she flipped the page.
“Out with it already!” The Pegasus demanded impatiently.

I didn't care how cliché it was. If there was a way to get my memories back and stop wondering why I couldn't stop thinking about Rarity, I'd take it.

“Okay, geez. No need to get rude about it.” Twilight replied offended and placed the book down where everypony could read it. “According to this, in the case of two lovers who are victims of memory spells, there is a way for them to regain them.” Twilight began to say and flipped the page before continuing her explanation.

“The two lovers in question must share a kiss of true love within a week of falling victim to the spell. If they don't, then the memories will be lost forever. In this case the book would be referring to you and Rarity.” Twilight said as she looked at Scootaloo whom was staring at her in confusion.

Lovers? Me and Rarity? What the heck was this unicorn going on about?!

“You're going to have to explain the details to her Twilight.” Sweetie Belle said after a few moments of silence from the Pegasus.

ONE EXPLANATION AND TWENTY JAW DROPS BY SCOOTALOO LATER...

“Saying I believe you both, how in the name of Luna am I supposed to get Rarity to share a kiss of true love with me when I don't even remember anything?” Scootaloo asked looking at the two with a expression of skepticism right now.

“You just leave that to me! I know my sister better than anypony!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed with a wide grin.

Why do I get the feeling this is going to end badly?

“While you are working on that, I'm going to do some additional researching on this topic.” Twilight remarked looked at Scootaloo and sighed. “If it's any consolation Scootaloo, I did it because I wanted to protect you two.” The unicorn said a few moments later at which point the Pegasus glared at her.

“No, it's not.” Scootaloo replied in a hurt tone before following Sweetie Belle out of the room and out of the library.

“So, what's the plan?” The Pegasus asked curiously.

I had no idea what the unicorn had in mind, but if it meant getting my memories back, it was worth it, right?

“No bucking way!” The Pegasus exclaimed while making a cross gesture with her hooves upon hearing The white filly's plan.

“Oh come on! It's foolproof!” Sweetie Belle replied with a smile.

“If your idea of foolproof is me walking up to Rarity and kissing her, then I'd hate to hear one of your non-foolproof plans!” Scootaloo exclaimed with an annoyed glare.

“What are you two up to?” A voice asked curiously at which point both fillies turned around and looked at Cheerilee.

Perfect timing miss. Cheerilee. Now to confirm Twilight's story.

“Your Sweetie Belle's fillyfriend right? Sweetie Belle told me.” Scootaloo said without warning at which point Cheerilee gave a panicked glance around herself and sighed with relief upon realizing no pony was around.

“Sweetie Belle, have you lost your mind?! Why would you tell her about that?!” Cheerilee hissed with a glare at the unicorn filly.

Well that confirms it. I'm still not quite sure I believe her story though.

“Don't worry Cheerilee, I have a plan to get Scootaloo and Rarity back together. Besides, she found the photograph that Rarity took of the adult her and remembered it being taken. So there's still hope!” The unicorn filly exclaimed with a wide smile to which the earth pony made a facehoofing gesture.

“That Twilight, she can never keep a secret can she?” Cheerilee remarked followed by a sigh before she smiled at them. “Well, if Scootaloo is keen on getting back with Rarity even without her memories, then I guess I should help. What was your plan anyways?” The earth pony asked curiously.

“She wanted me to walk up and kiss Rarity.” Scootaloo stated flatly to which Cheerilee blinked twice before sighing once again.

“That will do nothing but freak the poor mare out at this point. Come with me, we'll run over ideas at my place.” Cheerilee said, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction followed by the two fillies.

MEANWHILE AT TWILIGHT'S LIBRARY...

The purple unicorn was scanning bookshelf after book shelf now yet she couldn't seem to find anything to confirm the information she read in the book Sweetie Belle gave her.

“Maybe she made it up...” The unicorn remarked aloud thoughtfully. “But that would require her to...” The unicorn began to say but trailed off...

Twitch!

“Of course she didn't do that...she would never deface a book by writing in it. Come now Twilight, don't let your mind rush to irrational conclusions.” The bookworm remarked aloud with a light laugh as if to shrug the idea off however a moment later she ran over to the book and began to scan through it in a semi-panicked manner.

“Just reading the segment again, not checking to see if Sweetie Belle completely massacred an innocent book...” The unicorn said aloud in a higher pitch than normal as she flipped the pages...

Rarity now sat at her sewing machine working diligently to finish this dress before her deadline. “Come now Rarity, You can do this! Just a few last details...” The white unicorn remarked aloud as she levitated the needle with her magic and sewed in some gemstones along with a red ribbon. “Perfect!” Now to get one last thing.” The unicorn remarked aloud as she walked over to her storage trunk, opened it, levitated several garments out and placed them to the side, and stopped as she levitated a dress up and stared at it...

FLASHBACK

“For me?!” Scootaloo exclaimed in shock and disbelief at the beautiful dress that the unicorn now levitated before her eyes.

“Yes. After all, I have had nothing better to do than make dresses darling.” Rarity replied with a warm smile.

“Wow, this is, wow.” Scootaloo remarked aloud with a blush as she looked over the dress.

“I would very much like to see you in it.” Rarity replied at which point the Pegasus could have sworn her heart had skipped a beat.

“R-Really?” Scootaloo asked blushing furiously now.

“Of course Darling. I always love to see the results of my work. You know this.” Rarity replied as she turned away from the Pegasus and began to sew again.

“Of course.” Scootaloo replied in a depressed tone.

“Something wrong darling?” Rarity asked curiously taking note of the filly's lack of enthusiasm now.

“No, it's nothing.” Scootaloo replied in the same depressed tone as she flung the dress over her head and fitted her wings into the slots stitched into the sides of her dress.

Rarity wanted to press the topic a little more, but she thought better of it as she continued to sew and allow the filly to put the dress on.

“Well, take a look.” Scootaloo said a few minutes later as she gave the unicorn a tap on the shoulder which prompted her to turn around and look at her work.

The unicorn was no where near prepared for what she saw as she looked on at the dress Scootaloo now wore which sent her heart aflutter.

“W-Wow...” Rarity remarked aloud in a stunned tone as the filly stood in a bright velvet blue dress. It took a few moments longer before she managed to regain her composure.

“Well, give it a twirl darling.” Rarity said a few moments after her stunned response.

The filly then gave a slow turn in a three hundred and sixty degree fashion which sent the unicorn's heart yet again aflutter.

“So how do I look?” Scootaloo asked with a soft blush now which snapped the unicorn out of her stupor.

“F-Fine darling. I'm going to see how my sister's doing.” Rarity replied in a hurried tone as she walked past the Pegasus and sat down in front of the mirror which sparked to life once again.

“It's just a dress Rarity, it's your work. Yet, why did I suddenly feel like that towards her? It doesn't matter, it was just a dress! Stop making such a big deal out of it.” Rarity thought to herself in a scolding tone as the mirror began to show Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee once again.

END FLASHBACK

Tears now flooded from the unicorn's eyes unknown to her until she placed a hoof on her cheek and felt them. “Wh-What was that? Why did I suddenly remember that now and what was it from? And why am I crying?” The white unicorn asked aloud in a confused tone. The memories that now flooded the unicorn's mind baffled her. They felt as if they were merely fragments of a larger picture. Now only did she want to know why she remembered these things now, the unicorn also took note of the fact that the mysterious feeling she felt towards Scootaloo was becoming increasingly clear.

Yet for some strange reason, it didn't horrify her. In fact, it felt as if it had been there all along. This in itself however did scare her, but not for the reasons it should have. It scared her because she didn't know why she felt this way towards Scootaloo, but she had one way to find out.

“Something is clearly amidst and it has a certain purple unicorn written all over it!” Rarity exclaimed in a pissed off tone. She didn't know exactly what Twilight had done to her or if it was even her for sure, but a gut feeling told her that Twilight was at the center of this strange yet all too familiar memory that came back to her just now and she was going to find out why!

“By starswirl's beard! She did!” Twilight roared at the top of her lungs as she checked the page at which point Spike came running into the room.

“What happened Twilight?!” Spike asked in a worried tone.

“It's horrible!” Twilight exclaimed horrified.

“Really?! What happened?!” Spike exclaimed in a scared tone now.

“She really did it!” Twilight exclaimed in the same horrified tone.

“What did she do?!” Spike exclaimed now sounding as horrified as Twilight.

“She...defaced a book with her hoofwriting!” Twilight exclaimed as she finally showed the book to Spike whom upon seeing this expression changed from horrified to annoyed.

“Is that all?” Spike deadpanned.

Upon hearing this, Twilight's right eye twitched and the purple unicorn looked at him and glared. “Is that all? IS THAT ALL?! This book was hoofwritten by Starswirl The Bearded himself in the pre-Equestrian era! The book must be kept in pristine condition! It's a collectors edition!” Twilight roared at the dragon as she looked at the page and gasped once again in horror upon noticing a small crease in the book page corner. “I'll destroy her!” The unicorn roared in both horror and rage.

“Calm the buck down Twilight, it's just a crease in the page.” Spike remarked aloud with an eye rolling gesture.

“Just a crease? JUST A CREASE?!” Twilight roared as she glared at him horn glowing.

“Uh...yes?” Spike replied in an uneasy tone.

The unicorn growled loudly as her horn glowed even brighter still until...

MEANWHILE IN CANTERLOT...

“Now class if you will look to your left, in a distance you can see Ponyville, founded by Grannysmith and her family.” The teacher remarked as she extended a hoof to the left at which point the class looked to their left just in time to see a tree rocketing into the sky for a few moments in the distance before landing falling back down with a faint thud.

Th Canterlot teacher blinked twice in shock before she cleared her throat. “Ahem...now then. On with the tour...” The teacher said in an uneasy tone and lead the class down the street...

Rediscovering the flame within: Part two

REDISCOVERING THE FLAME WITHIN

PART TWO

Twilight stared at Pinkie Pie now with a look of annoyance on her face as the pink mare laughed insanely with her hooves on her sides. “Come on Pinkie, this is serious! Have you seen anypony new in town before today?” Twilight asked once again hoping to get a strait answer this time.

“Besides that Rose pony? Nopey-dopey!” The pink mare finally replied after she had managed to stop laughing.

“That doesn't bode well with me. If you didn't see them come into town, then that means they came here in secret. But why?” The purple unicorn asked herself aloud curiously with a expression of deep thought only for it to be interrupted by the pink mare patting her on the head.

“You look so cute!” Pinkie Pie remarked in a childish tone as she patted the purple unicorn on the head only for Twilight to give her a glare.

“Pinkie, I know how to mimic the spell Trixie did to remove your mouth.” The purple unicorn remarked aloud at which point Pinkie Pie suddenly halted her actions and stared at Twilight with a sheepish grin.

“Okie-dokey-loki! I won't tease you anymore! I need to get going anyways, the cakes need my help filling some orders!” The pink mare exclaimed before she zipped out of the library.

Twilight looked over at Spike whom was giving her a sad look. “Oh don't give me that look Spike, this is serious and I don't have time to play around with Pinkie with us being foals and you a freaking infant dragon!” Twilight exclaimed at the infant dragon in annoyance.

Rarity and Scootaloo both sat in the front room of the white unicorn's home now silently, not saying a word to one another.

“Rarity?”

“Yes Scootaloo?”

The filly stood up to all fours now and stared at Rarity. “I don't know what to think of those memories we have right now, but something about them is bugging me.” The Pegasus remarked aloud with a serious expression now.

“Scootaloo, I don't think those memories are real. I've been thinking about them ever since we got back and the more I do, the more I believe they are made up.” The white unicorn replied simply.

“Why would you think that? Isn't Twilight telling the truth?” Scootaloo asked curiously as she sat down in front of the white unicorn.

“I would hate to think so, but lets think about this Scootaloo, what in Equestria would posses me and you to date one another?” Rarity asked looking at the filly now.

“But that's just it, that's what is bugging me. They feel real to me, so real in fact that it feels like they happened not long ago.” The Pegasus replied looking at Rarity now.

“Scootaloo, you're probably too young to understand this, but unicorn magic can do much more than levitate things. It can create things that weren't there before and memories are no exception.” Rarity replied and sighed.

“Okay, so forget the memories for a moment. What does your heart tell you?” The orange Pegasus asked as she placed a hoof on Rarity's and continued to look into her eyes.

“My heart? Scootaloo, you can't possibly think...” Rarity began to say only to trail off as she stared into the Pegasus' eyes.

“I can't explain it, but I think these feelings are real. I know how you look at me times. You feel the same way, don't you?” The filly said as she looked at Rarity now whom was at a loss for words.

The unicorn continued to stare at Scootaloo now, trying to find words. She wanted to say “No, I don't feel anything towards you.” But every time she opened her mouth to speak, something deep inside her would seem to steal the words away as if telling her not to lie the Pegasus.

“Scootaloo I...” Rarity began to say but trailed off once again.

“What is wrong with me?! Why can't I just tell her that I don't feel anything?! Yet, I know that's not true... No, I refuse to believe it, I shan’t believe it! Me, in love with a filly? Absurd!” Rarity thought to herself now as her mind waged war with her heart.

“I see...” The Pegasus said after a few moments with a frown. “Guess it was my imagination after all.” Scootaloo remarked with a dejected sigh as she removed her hoof from atop of Rarity's, stood up, and walked away. “I'll be in my room.” The Pegasus said just before she walked upstairs and left the unicorn's sight.

“I wish it was your imagination Scootaloo...” Rarity remarked quietly aloud followed by a depressed sigh as she stood up and began to walk to the kitchen only to come to a screeching halt as she stared at what looked like a fairly large fragment of glass in the corner of workstation.

Curiously, the unicorn walked up to the fragment of glass, levitated it up with her magic and stared at it. “This doesn't look like window glass, it looks like glass from a mirror of some sort.” The unicorn remarked aloud as she twirled it slowly in a three hundred and sixty degree fashion.

“This looks familiar somehow but I can't place where. Oh well, to the trash can with you.” Rarity remarked aloud dismissively as she put the fragment of glass into the trashcan carefully. “I wonder what Sweetie Belle is doing right now?” The unicorn remarked aloud curiously only for a light to flash from within the trashcan so brightly that it caused the unicorn to whirl around and walk up to the trashcan.

“What in Equestria?” Rarity remarked aloud as she levitated the fragment out of the trashcan which was glowing brightly still until an image began to appear in it.

“Why can't she understand? I thought that helping her get those memories back would make her remember everything, not just bits and pieces.”

“Sw-Sweetie Belle?! B-But how?!” The unicorn exclaimed in confusion as she continued to stare at her little sister though the mirror fragment. She was alone right now and she looked like she was crying. It was also clear to her now that her little sister could not hear her.

“Maybe I wasn't trying to get them back together for them, maybe I was doing it prove something to myself. So that when I looked in the mirror I could see a mare instead of a foal.” Sweetie Belle remarked aloud and sighed before she batted at her reflection in the water before turning away and sighed once again.

“But I was wrong, I'm just a foal. An ignorant filly in love with a mare three times her age.” The filly remarked aloud as a tear shed from her right eye and streaked down her cheek.

It was at the point that Twilight's words rang in Rarity's head like a gong.

“Rarity, Sweetie Belle may be young, but you don't give her enough credit. She's wise beyond her years, and behaves a lot more maturely than other fillies her age.” Twilight commented as she walked up next to Rarity and sat next to her.

Rarity watched as the image on the mirror began to flicker and fade and sighed heavily as she looked upstairs to the room where Scootaloo now stayed. “The memories are far too real to ignore, but I can't...” The unicorn filly said aloud and sighed once again as a silent tear streaked down her cheek.

(play Song of the heart now)

(Rarity)

♫ Not so long ago, in a memory not so far away...♫

♫ I remember a fire deep within, now glowing as faint as an ember...♫

Rarity walked over to the photograph of Scootaloo now and stared at it and sighed again.

♫ Why can't I recall the things I wish to know, the things my heart yearns to remember...♫

♫ What can I do, what can I say?♫

Rarity put the photograph down now and stared at the dress as Scootaloo lay on the bed in her room with tears streaming down her cheeks.

(Scootaloo)

♫I feel the fire of love deep within my soul, yet I am only a foal.♫

♫ What do these feelings mean to me?♫

♫ Is the love I feel for her not meant to be?♫

♫What is wrong with me?♫

♫Why can't I be rid of these memories?♫

The sun began to set now as the filly looked out her bedroom window and sighed as Rarity walked to the foot of the stairs and looked through the door which was cracked.

(Rarity)

♫ Why do these memories torture me so?♫

♫Is it that my hooves fear to tread where my heart yearns to go?♫

(Rarity and Scootaloo)

♫Somepony please reignite the fire inside!♫

♫Unleash these feelings that I bide!♫

♫Give me the courage to follow the path from which I hide!♫

Rarity walked away from the foot of the stairs now and to her mannikins which stood stationary before her.

(Rarity)

♫I don't know what to do, what to say...♫

♫What I feel now shouldn't be okay...♫

♫But deep within my heart glowing as dim as an ember...♫

♫Is a fire inside that my heart yearns to remember...♫

(Scootaloo)

♫Why is it so hard for anypony to see...♫

♫That some things are just meant to be.♫

♫The feelings in my heart are not easy to quell.♫

♫For the mare downstairs which my heart has fell.♫

♫Yet I do not know why.♫

♫It is enough to make me cry...♫

(Scootaloo and Rarity)

♫Are we truly meant to be?♫

♫Oh, the path is so hard you see...♫

♫Somepony, anypony...♫

♫Please reignite the fire inside!♫

♫Unleash these feelings that I bide!♫

♫Give me the courage to follow the path from which I hide!♫

Rarity now walked up the stairs though her legs shook violently as with each step.

♫Do I dare walk this path my hooves fear to tread?♫

♫What events would lie ahead?♫

♫I wish I could know.♫

♫But even so...♫

Rarity opened the door to Scootaloo's room now and stared at her with a soft yet teary smile at which point Scootaloo looked over to her smiling back with the same tear smile.

“Rarity, I'm sorry. I never meant to-” The Pegasus began to say only for the unicorn to place a hoof softly on her mouth while she continued to smile at her.

(Rarity)

♫Not so long ago, in a memory not so far away..♫

(Scootaloo)

♫Oh, How I wish I could be with you this day...♫

(Scootaloo and Rarity)

♫Reignite the flame inside!♫
♫Help me unleash these feelings that I bide!♫

♫Give me the courage to follow this path from which I no longer hide!♫

Mere moments after the two spoke, their lips locked and the two shared a kiss of passion that reignited that flame the two once knew. It was at this exact moment that the two knew the their love for one another was real. That it was not a figment of their imaginations.

“I love you Rarity.” Scootaloo said after they broke their kiss and held one another in a loving embrace.

“I Love you too Scootaloo, I don't know why or how, but this just feels right.” Rarity replied in a soft tone as she held the Pegasus.

“But I thought you said the memories weren't real? And what happens when Twilight reverses the spell on you?” The Pegasus asked in a soft tone as she nuzzled the unicorn affectionately.

“I don't know...but for now, lets take things as they come shall we?” Rarity replied in a soft tone as she nuzzled the Pegasus back in the same affectionate manner.

Unknown to the Pegasus however, a war still raged within the unicorn. A part of her now dreaded becoming an adult mare again yet another part of her couldn't wait for it. But for now, she buried these feelings of conflict...

A rose has it's thorns: Part one

A ROSE HAS IT'S THORNS

PART ONE

The morning came all too soon for Rarity and Scootaloo as they slept in each others embrace. “Good morning Rarity.” Scootaloo remarked softly as she gave the unicorn a peck on the cheek which caused the unicorn to stir and open her eyes drowsily.

At first she had completely forgotten about last night, but it came back to her quickly at which point she smiled nervously as she sat up and stretched her legs which earned a soft squeak from the filly just before she jumped out of bed and walked over to Scootaloo's mirror to do her hair.

“I really enjoyed last night Rarity.” Scootaloo said as she sat up herself which caused the unicorn to look at her suspiciously as she continued to do her hair.

“You didn't get frisky with me while I was asleep did you?” The unicorn asked curiously with a hint of warning in her voice as she spoke as if to tell the filly she wasn't okay with it if she had.

“No, no, of course not! What do I look like, a pervert? I was just talking about being able to sleep in your hooves is all. I haven't slept this peacefully since I can't remember when.” The Pegasus replied with a warm smile.

“Good to hear. This is still very new to me and I would very much like to not make any unnecessary leaps before I know where my hooves will land. If you get my meaning.” The unicorn replied as she finished doing her hair and set the comb down with her magic to turn and look at the filly.

“Sort of...” Scootaloo replied with a confused expression.

“In other words darling, let's keep our noses clean and keep them that way until I am prepared to get mine wet.” Rarity replied as she walked over to the Pegasus and nuzzled her affectionately.

This second statement went completely over the filly's head which caused her to go “huh?!” upon hearing this.

“Oh for pony's sake.” The unicorn replied as she slapped her right hoof on her face in annoyance.

“What I mean is, keep your nose away from my, oh what do ponies use as a slang term these days, ah, keep your nose away from my powder puff until I deem myself ready for such a thing.” The unicorn replied doing her best to be clear to the Pegasus though this “slang” term seemed also foreign to the Pegasus which was made apparent by her unchanged confused expression.

“My slit, keep your nose away from my slit until I’m ready, oi!” Rarity exclaimed in a semi-rushed tone and blushed furiously as she spoke. The unicorn preferred to stay away from such crude terms, but at least Scootaloo had gotten the hint now.

“Oh, you mean that! Heh, don't worry, I'll keep my nose and my hooves to myself until I know you are ready.” The filly replied with a slight blush of her own.

“Yes, that. And while we're at it, lets keep this between us for now. I don't want anypony to know of us just yet.” The unicorn replied just before a knock on Rarity's door snapped the unicorn's thoughts to Sweetie Belle. Had she come home last night? The unicorn felt both worry and guilt swell in her chest as she quickly checked her little sisters room and let a sigh of relief as she saw her sleeping soundly in her bed.

“Thank Celestia for small favors.” The unicorn remarked to herself under her breath until another knock at her door snapped her attention back downstairs at which point she rushed downstairs and opened the door.

“Wha-ha-haaa!” Rarity shrieked in horror as she stared at Rose whom looked at her through her sunglasses with the same stern glance she wore last time she saw her.

“Heard you got age spelled.” Rose said simply to which Rarity gave a nervous chuckle.

“Eh-heh, it's...only temporary. Twilight is working on a spell to reverse this as we speak.” The unicorn replied nervously.

“Thus far you have rested in the sheltered harbor or my patience, but I cannot ignore you being reduced to the age of a foal.” Rose replied only to get something wet to the face abruptly which knocked her sunglasses off her face. “Hey!” The mare exclaimed in annoyance which caused Rarity to look behind herself to see Sweetie Belle whom was glaring at her.

“What is this? And why does it smell like...” Rose remarked as she held it on her hoof and dropped it in front of Rarity as she trailed off.

“That's one of my hoof socks.” Sweetie Belle remarked with an attitude about her voice as she spoke. “With a little filly juice added in.” The filly said a few moments later under her breath with a smirk.

“I am not going to ask what you have done with this young filly, but I do ask that you respect your elders.” Rose replied with a stern glance at the filly before her gaze switched back to Rarity.

“Back to marehood, respectful of her elders. I'll be watching.” Rose replied simply before she put her sunglasses back on at which point a lens popped out of one side before she turned about and walked away.

“Splendid work there Sweetie Belle, I have my hooves full already with my age predicament and you add to them by assaulting the social worker with a filly juice soaked hoof sock!” Rarity exclaimed after she closed the door behind her and handed the filly the hoof sock.

“Wait, how did you know-”

“Oh don't play coy with me young filly, you don't think I do not know the scent of a female when I smell it?! And I'm sure Rose knew as well! The next thing I know, she'll be asking me questions about your sexual activity!” Rarity roared as she walked past Sweetie Belle and stomped a hoof on the ground as she turned about to look at her as she spoke.

“Well what do you expect me to do? I went over to Cheerilee's yesterday before I came home only to learn that you forbid her from seeing me!” Sweetie Belle roared back with a glare to boot.

“So my suspicions were correct! You have been sleeping with her!” Rarity exclaimed in shock and anger.

“Duh! I figured you had that one figured out already, but I guess you are as slow as you are thick-headed!” The filly retorted.

Rarity's face then began to contort in a mixture of rage filled emotions before she suddenly smiled in a eerie fashion. “I'm just going to pretend we never had this conversation and go speak to Twilight about getting this spell reversed.” Rarity replied before she abruptly turned about face, opened the door, and closed it behind her.

“You've slept with Cheerilee? What's it like being with a mare older than you?” Scootaloo asked curiously as she walked down the stairs to the front room.

“Oh, don't be stupid Scoots, I know you've been sleeping with Rainbow Dash. You told me about her just after you got together with Rarity and spoke of breaking it off with her. That was before you got your memory wiped though.” The unicorn replied followed by a sigh.

“Just how much did I tell you?” The Pegasus asked as she sat down on the floor next to Sweetie Belle.

“Pretty much everything. Maybe a few details here or there you could have left out, but me and you got pretty close as friends after you got with Rarity since we were both dating a pony much older than us.” Sweetie Belle replied with a smile as she sat down next to the Pegasus.

“Can you tell me everything I told you? So I can, ya know, fill in the blanks?” Scootaloo asked meagerly.

“Of course! What are friends for?!” The unicorn exclaimed happily and began to tell her everything the Pegasus had told her.

“So Rose gave you a deadline to get this reversed?” The purple unicorn remarked after hearing the news from Rarity about the social worker's unexpected visit.

“Not specifically, but I can assume it won't take her long to lose patience and take both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo away. And what's worse, I am inclined to think that Sweetie Belle has a grudge against Rose and myself. She got very rude with me and even had the nerve to say outright that she had been sleeping with Cheerilee.” Rarity replied as she paced back and forth in front of the purple unicorn.

“Well, you did forbid her from seeing the mare she loves and from what Cheerilee told me, she pushed quite a few buttons when she visited her place last time.” Twilight replied causally as she continued to read through one of her books.

“How can you be so calm about this?! My sister has been sleeping with Cheerilee and I've got the social worker breathing down my neck!” Rarity exclaimed as she paced even faster back and forth now.

“Because, if I work myself up over this, I’ll never be able to find a cure to our predicament.” Twilight replied as she placed the book down momentarily to look at Rarity with a slightly annoyed expression.

“I'm sorry Twilight. It's just-” Rarity began to apologize until the door to the library opened up revealing Cheerilee whom walked in and closed the door behind her.

“Am I interrupting anything?” The dark purple filly asked curiously as she looked at the two whom became suddenly silent though Rarity's expression had become rather pissed off now.

“You!” Rarity exclaimed as she walked over to Cheerilee and slapped her without so much as a warning.

“Let me guess, you found out that we had been sleeping together.” Cheerilee remarked as she rubbed her sore cheek with an annoyed expression.

“You have the gal to be so candid about this?! Why, I should beat the horsefeathers out of you!” Rarity roared less then a inch from Cheerilee's face.

“Rarity, I for one really don't give a flying horseshoe anymore. The look on Sweetie Belle's face when I told she couldn't visit or even see me yesterday was more than enough to make me want to do the exact same thing to you. Yet I held firm and stood by your decision. So would you kindly BACK THE BUCK OFF!” The earth pony said with her tone of voice starting out as flat and emotionless but changed in a instant to a roar as she shouted the last four words of her sentence at the unicorn.

“Okay, I know tensions are high right now, but lets all take a breather and calm down.” Twilight pipped up as she placed the book down and walked between the two whom glared at one another.

“That filly doesn't know the meaning of the words calm down. Why the meaning of the term probably hits you like a ton of bricks!” Cheerilee exclaimed at which point a bag of bricks magically appeared over her head and would have fell onto the dark purple filly if Twilight hadn't spotted them and halted their decent with her own magic.

“Rarity! You could have seriously injured her!” Twilight exclaimed as she flashed a glare over at the unicorn whom simply gave a eye rolling gesture.

“Oh sure, leave it to unicorns to abuse their magic. Typical unicorns, always thinking they are superior to earth ponies.” Cheerilee remarked aloud which caused both Rarity and Twilight to snap their gaze at her and glare.

“That's rich, coming from an earth pony who fell for a unicorn!” Twilight retorted as she dropped the bag of bricks a little too close to Cheerilee for comfort.

“You leave Sweetie Belle out of this.” Cheerilee retorted with a threatening glare.

“You certainly had no issues with her sticking her nose in you even though she's nearly three times younger than you!” Rarity exclaimed in response to this statement.

“Coming from a unicorn who also dated a filly three times younger than herself as well!” Cheerilee retorted feeling her temper raise to it's breaking point.

“I have no clue what your talking about!” Rarity exclaimed as she waved a hoof dismissively at the topic.

“Of course you don't! Because a certain unicorn, decided to blast those memories away!” Cheerilee exclaimed as she switched her glance to Twilight.

“It was your idea!” Twilight exclaimed defensively feeling her muscles stiffen as if to resist to the urge to beat the tar out of the earth pony.

The argument continued between the three for another five minutes with each of the fillies soon being reduced to throwing petty insults at one another and just when they were about to brawl it out, the library door swung open once again but this time it was the last pony anypony wanted to see right now.

“Yes, this seems like a very intense study session for a cure to your ailments.” Rose remarked aloud with a heavy note of sarcasm as she walked into the room.

“Now is not the time to press my buttons Rose.” Cheerilee remarked with a glare at the mare.

“And just what would you do about it? Beat the horsefeathers out of me? That would work out very well for your teaching career wouldn't it?” Rose replied with an unfazed expression as she walked into the room and sat down in one of the library chairs.

The three simply stared at her now, Rarity with a nervous expression, Cheerilee with a loathing glare, and Twilight with an expression of annoyance.

“Well don't let me interrupt you. This is a public library after all, I'll just pull up a book and read it while you continue your intense study session.” Rose remarked a few moments later as she picked up a random book and began to read from it.

The pose and look of the mare reminded the dark purple filly of somepony she once knew but she could not place where. “Come to think of it, your face and name does seem familiar to me. Have we met before you come into Ponyville?” Cheerilee asked curiously as she stared at Rose now.

“How should I know? I've been the social worker for hundreds of fillies and colts.” Rose replied nonchalantly.

“Hmm...I should be going. I've got my own studying to do.” Cheerilee remarked aloud as she stared at the mare for a few moments longer before she walked out of the library without another word.

“I need to be going as well, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo can't be left alone for too long.” Rarity said herself and quickly followed the earth pony out the door.

“Say Rose, have you seen any strange ponies about?” Twilight asked shortly after Rarity left the library.

“Strange ponies? Can't say as I have, but then again, everypony in this town is strange to me.” Rose replied in the same nonchalant tone as before.

“Well, the reason is ask is that Scootaloo saw the two unicorns that did this to us, but we've had no luck finding them.” Twilight replied at which point Rose lowered the book down and looked at the unicorn curiously.

“She saw them? Did she get a good look at them? A cutiemark perhaps?” Rose asked curiously.

“Sadly no, but she did tell me that they had green fur coats.” Twilight replied at which point Rose stood up abruptly and began to walk towards the door.

“Something has come up, I'll see you later Twilight Sparkle. Much later...” Rose replied as she quickly left the library without another word.

Curiously the unicorn walked up to the book that Rose had set down and looked at the title. “Strange, why would an earth pony be reading a spell book?” Twilight remarked aloud curiously as she stared at the door now.

Weeks past and a cure to their fillyhood still seemed out of reach, but another problem had arose now. It became more than apparent that the effects of the age spell were having side-effects on the ponies. Twilight was the first to notice this after looking back at how the three had behaved in the library.

“You mean we're starting to act like foals too?!” Rarity exclaimed horrified.

“The effects seem to only occur once in awhile and only in certain situations such as ones where maturity is called for. I would write this off as a side effect but, it's too convenient. Why do we start acting like foals when the time calls for an adult approach? I can't seem to focus on a book for more than five minuets without become tempted to practice a random spell that comes into my head. I had the same problem when I was a filly before. A problem I'd rather not have to go through again but am.” Twilight remarked with a scowl.

“I also have a similar problem, I can't seem to keep a clear head these days when I'm working on my dresses.” Rarity replied with a thoughtful glance.

“Any word from Cheerilee?” Sweetie Belle asked as she walked up to the two as they sat in Rarity's front room.

The mere mentioning of the earth pony's name sent the unicorn’s temper aflame but she managed to keep it under control. “Not sense we spoke at the library.” Twilight replied causally.

“Okay, if you see her, tell her that I miss her.” Sweetie Belle replied followed by a sigh before she walked away.

The purple unicorn then changed her glance to Rarity and placed a hoof on her shoulder. “Rarity, I know it's hard to accept, but Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee love one another.” Twilight stated with a note of compassion in her voice.

“Twilight, I refuse to discuss this subject.” The white unicorn replied hostilely to which Twilight sighed heavily.

“This separation is torturing Cheerilee. I didn't want to say anything with Sweetie Belle in the room, but I did speak to her and when I did, she had a bottle of cider with her and looked like a wreck. I listened to her for nearly three hours rambling on about how she wishes things had been different. And even that she wished she wasn't in love with her. ” Twilight said in a hushed tone while making sure that Sweetie Belle wasn't in the room or within earshot.

“Your point is?” Rarity replied nonchalantly.

“If this is torturing her so much, I can only imagine what it's doing to your little sister.” The purple unicorn replied with a serious expression now before she stood up and began to walk away before she stopped just before the front door.

“If there was one time to be the element of generosity when the fate of Equestria isn't hanging in the balance, now is the time.” Twilight added, opened the door with her magic, walked through it, and closed the door behind her.

Once Twilight had left the room the unicorn sighed dejectedly and looked upstairs. “I know all too well what it's been doing to her Twilight.” Rarity remarked aloud before she walked upstairs and to Sweetie Belle's room to see the filly crying silently to herself on her bed.

“What do you want?” The filly asked resentfully with a sniffle.

“Why are you crying?” Rarity asked curiously though she knew already.

“Like you don't know. Just leave me alone.” The filly replied before she turned over on the bed and faced away from her sister.

If there was one time to be the element of generosity when the fate of Equestria isn't hanging in the balance, now is the time.

These words echoed in the unicorn's mind as she stared at her sister. “I don't want to see her like this anymore. The sleepless nights she's had, the crying herself to sleep, I don't want to see her in pain anymore...” Rarity thought to herself with a sigh as Scootaloo walked into the room.

“Sweetie Belle, I want to tell you something...” Rarity began only for a knock at the door to distract her yet she ignored it and continued.

“Rose asked me to-” Rarity said attempting to continue only for the knock at the door to become louder now. “Oh ponyfeathers, of all times!” The unicorn exclaimed in annoyance before she quickly left the room, walked downstairs and opened the door only for her heart to drop into the pit of her stomach.

“Time's up Rarity. I'm sorry to say this, but I'm going to have to take Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle into custody. At least until you find a cure to your predicament.” Rose said simply.

“N-No, you can't! She needs me!” Rarity exclaimed horrified as tears began streaming down her cheeks.

“Don't make this any harder than it is. I'll come back with the proper authorities if I have to.” Rose replied as she walked into the house.

“Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, I have to ask you to come downstairs please!” Rose called out as she stood at the foot of the stairs to which the two fillies walked to the top of the stairwell both with confused expressions though Sweetie Belle's eyes looked puffy and red from crying.

“Rarity, what's going on?” Scootaloo asked curiously as Rose placed two saddle-packs at the foot of the stairs.

The unicorn however was at a loss for words as tears streamed from her eyes. She did however rush up to the two and hug them which worried the two even more.

“Why is Rose here? And what are the saddle-packs for?” Sweetie Belle asked curiously.

“I'm afraid you two are going to have to come with me. Rarity has been found unfit to care for the two of you.” Rose remarked simply.

“I did everything you said, I even kept Sweetie Belle away from Cheerilee like you asked! Please don't take them away!” Rarity exclaimed finally after she broke the hug to look at the social worker.

“Wait, she what?! When was this?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in outrage.

FLASH BACK

“So why are we heading over to house of the mare who's been dating my little sister again?” Rarity asked with an annoyed expression now.

“We're going to clear up everything that's happened so far. Fill in the blanks as it were. That's the best approach I can think of to avoid any unnecessary complications.” Twilight replied followed by an exasperated sigh.

However just as the two neared Cheerilee's house, Rose could be seen walking up to the three.

“Ah, Rarity, just the mare I wanted to see. Off to pick up Sweetie Belle I take it?” Rose asked curiously.

“I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to discontinue Sweetie Belle's tutoring lessons and they are not allowed to see one another either, but you aren't allowed to tell either of them why.” Rose replied simply which was met with curious expressions from the three.

“Are you going to tell us why then?” Twilight asked with an annoyed expression now.

“It is because we can't have her becoming wise to our investigation. I believe Cheerilee may not be safe to be around. She claims to be teaching Sweetie Belle math, but I have seen her background and I believe she may be a foal fiddler. So if you wish to keep custody of Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, I suggest you do so. Have a nice day.” Rose remarked and walked past them as casually as she had walked up to them.

END FLASHBACK

“So it was Rose all along...” Sweetie Belle remarked as she gave the social worker a loathing stare.

“I'm afraid things have changed. You got turned into a foal. And my higher ups do not see a foal as fit to care for another foal. I tried to buy you time, but they put their hoof down about a day ago.” Rose replied and looked at the two fillies. “Pack your things, your leaving. I'll give you a few moments to pack and say your goodbyes.” Rose replied simply before she turned about face and stood just outside the door.

“Isn't there anything you can do Rarity?” Scootaloo asked with a teary-eyed expression now.

“I-I'm afraid not...go pack your things Sweetie Belle, I need to speak to Scootaloo alone.” Rarity replied to which the filly turned around and slowly walked back to her room to pack her things.

“Don't let her take me, please Rarity, I love you.” Scootaloo said in a whisper as she nuzzled her affectionately.

“We'll see each other again, I promise. As soon we fix this foal thing, I'll petition to have you both have with me. I promise.” Rarity said in a whisper as she kissed the Pegasus on the cheek...

“Rose, Rose, Rose...why does that name seem so familiar?!” Cheerilee exclaimed in annoyance as she chugged a bottle of cider down and continued to scan the pages of her old Canterlot Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns yearbook. A knock at her door however snapped the earth pony's attention away from it.

“I'm busy! Leave me alone!” The earth pony shouted drunkenly only for the door to open up revealing Twilight whom walked in and sat down quietly.

“Oh, it's just you. Sorry about that Twilight.” Cheerilee apologized and sighed as she resumed looking through her yearbook.

“Still drinking I see, Cheerilee, you really should be careful, you aren't a mare right now, you could very well poison yourself by accident.” The unicorn remarked concerned.

“I appreciate your concern Twilight, but without Sweetie Belle, well, I just don't know what to do anymore.” Cheerilee replied and sighed.

“I know it's been hard, but it will get better, I promise.” Twilight replied reassuringly.

Another knock at the door however snapped by pony's attention to the door to which Twilight answered it to see a sobbing Rarity.

“Rarity? What happened?” The unicorn asked as she let her in.

The white unicorn didn't reply, rather she walked over to Cheerilee, grabbed the bottle of cider strait out of the earth pony's hoof, and began to chug it. “What the buck do you think happened Twilight?” Rarity replied after she downed the bottle in one shot. This shot up all kinds of red flags for the purple unicorn for several reasons.

First of all was the fact in all the time that Twilight had known her, Rarity did not drink. Secondly, the fact that she came over here at all despite her hostility towards Cheerilee. And lastly, she does not use crude terms or words like that.

“Rose didn't take them away...did she?” Cheerilee asked with a deep sense of dread in her voice now.

“Their gone! And there's nothing I can do about it!” Rarity exclaimed between sobs as she fell to the floor and began to sob loudly.

“Horseapples!” Cheerilee exclaimed aloud as she whacked the yearbook of the desk and hit the desk with her right hoof. “I should have never listened to you! I could have spent this last month with her if I hadn't listened to you! Now I'll never see her again and all because you were a stubborn thickheaded mule!” Cheerilee roared as she walked over to Rarity and pointed a hoof at her.

“Actually Cheerilee, There's something I didn't tell you and the only reason I didn't is because I didn't know if Rose had any eyes or ears in my library or around your house. Rose told her to do this, though I'm sure she had no problem with listening to her.” Twilight said but ended her statement on a sour note with a look at Rarity.

“Of shut the buck up Twilight Sparkle. You don't know what you're talking about.” Rarity said with a slight slur in her voice now as the cider had begun to take effect.

“Oh, then by all means enlighten us on how we are so wrong about your grudge against-hold the reigns a second here...” The unicorn began to retort only for the yearbook now at her hooves to snap her attention to it. “I know this face.” Twilight remarked thoughtfully as she levitated the book in front of her and stared at an image of a unicorn filly now.

“What did you find?” Cheerilee asked curiously as she walked over to the unicorn and looked at the image as well and gasped. “I knew I had seen and heard of her name before! She was a student in the same class as you when you began your schooling at Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns!” Cheerilee exclaimed in shock.

“Care to enlighten me? Or am I too much of a drama queen to bother telling?” Rarity asked as she walked up to the two now.

“Well Rose was a close friend of mine in my first year at that school, but we drifted apart when we both set our eyes on Cheerilee.” Twilight explained.

“Yes, and unlike Twilight, she was up front and obvious about her emotions towards me. I of course turned her down at the time.” Cheerilee added.

“But when she learned that I had managed to get together with Cheerilee, she became more resentful than she was before towards me and even threatened to destroy me and Cheerilee's relationship.

“She was the source of the rumors around Canterlot that forced me to leave it and Twilight, so in a sense, she succeeded.” Cheerilee added once again and sighed.
“But the Rose we knew was a unicorn, this one is an earth pony.” Twilight remarked thoughtfully until her eyes lit up. “Wait, she was reading a spell book last month which I found odd.” Twilight added a few moments later in recollection of that event.

“So? I read them too and I'm a earth pony.” Cheerilee countered.

“True.” Twilight conceded.

Just then a knock at the door caught all three pony's attention. “Now who in Equestria could that be?” Twilight asked curiously as she answered the door once again which revealed a police pony.

“Excuse me young filly, are your parents home?” The police pony asked curiously.

“It's me Twilight, officer Quickhoof. I got age spelled.” Twilight replied at which point the stallion rubbed his eyes in shock and blinked twice at her.

“Twilight Sparkle?! Wow, no wonder I didn't recognize you.” Quickhoof replied with a smile and cleared his throat. “Well, perhaps you can help me, I'm looking for this mare, have you see her?” Officer Quickhoof asked as he flashed a photograph for her to see.

“That's Rose! Why in Equestria would you be looking for her?” Twilight asked curiously.

The plot thickens in the first part of this two part chapter! :D

A rose has it's thorns: Part two

A ROSE HAS IT'S THORNS

PART TWO

Rose now walked with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle towards the outskirts of Ponyville now with the two carrying their saddle-packs.

“Where are you taking us Rose?” Scootaloo asked curiously.

“You'll find out soon enough.” Rose replied simply as the three made a turn at which point two unicorns could be seen standing a decent distance away.

“Hey...I'd know that fur coat from anywhere! Those are the two who age spelled Twilight and the others!” Scootaloo exclaimed as they stopped just short of the two unicorns.

“I told you two not to be seen! Can't you buffoons do anything right?!” Rose exclaimed with a glare at which point both filly's expression's lit up in alarm.

“What's going on here Rose?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in confusion only for the mare to snicker maliciously.

“I have an idea, but I’m not sticking around to find out if I’m right!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she took off from the ground only to be hit with a spell by one of the two unicorns which put a chain around each of the Pegasus's wings and legs, grounding her before she could make it ten feet off the ground.

The unicorn filly suddenly found herself in a cage at which point she looked about herself in confusion and anger. “What are you doing?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed outraged.

“Fulfilling a vendetta fifteen years in the making!” Rose replied with a malicious grin as she turned around the looked at her through the cage. “Of course, that's only one part of it. The other part is that I have a business to run. After all, the black market pays handsomely for fillies such as yourselves.” Rose added with a sneer before she turned away from her and stared at Scootaloo.

“You'll never get away with this!” The Pegasus roared as she struggled against her bindings.

“Oh but I will, after all, I've been selling fillies and colts like yourselves to the highest bidder for the last ten years and I haven't been caught yet!” Rose exclaimed followed by a laugh.

“Selling us to the highest bidder?” The unicorn filly asked in confusion.

“Oh don't play coy with me little filly. You should feel right at home once you're bought and paid for. After all, messing around with ponies older than yourself is something you're quite familiar with.” Rose replied as she walked past the two unicorns.

“Flim, Flam, I want to get away from this Luna forsaken town before the local authorities get wise if they haven't already. So pack up the goods and lets get moving!” Rose exclaimed as she walked down the path at which point the two were levitated by magic and carried swiftly behind them.

“This mare has eluded us for years, she always goes by a different name and even a different look. She's apart of an underground foal selling ring. Countless parents have had their children taken away with the promise of returning them once they do what they are told, only to never see them again.” Quickhoof replied at which point all three filly's eyes lit up in shock and horror.

“That mare has Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo!” Rarity exclaimed and ran past Quickhoof so fast it literally made him spin followed closely by Cheerilee.

“No time to explain, I'll send up a large magical spark when we find them!” Twilight exclaimed as she rushed to catch up with the other two.

“How are we going to find them? It's been nearly three hours since they left, they could be half way to Canterlot or who knows where by train by now!” Rarity exclaimed in panicked.

“I got an idea!” The purple unicorn exclaimed and disappeared in a flash of magic.

Twilight appeared in a flash of magic in Rainbow Dash's house now and startled the heck out of the cyan blue Pegasus as she appeared right over her on her bed. “We need you're help!” Twilight exclaimed in a hurried tone as Rainbow Dash regained her composure.

“What's wrong?” She asked curiously.

“No time to explain! Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo have been foalnapped!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Foalnapped?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in alarm upon hearing this new set of information.

“How quickly can you scan the skies for an earth pony who looks like this?!” Twilight asked as she flashed a photograph in front of the cyan blue Pegasus.

“Consider it done, yesterday! I'll signal you when I find them!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she prepared to take off from the ground.

“How will I know it's you?” Twilight asked curiously as the cyan blue Pegasus prepared for take off.

“Trust me, you'll know!” Rainbow Dash replied and exploded off the floor and literally through her roof.

Twilight then reappeared in another flash of magic next to Rarity and Cheerilee. “Rainbow Dash is going to take the search by air, we'll cover the ground, come on everypony!” Twilight exclaimed and darted off followed closely by the two.

The sun now set on the outskirts of Fillydephia with a small campfire roaring while Rose ate several apple fritters. “You made a huge mistake foalnapping me. When Cheerilee finds out, she won't stop at anything to find me!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed defiantly at the mare who simply glared at her.

“Oh I'm counting on it. There's a reason I am taking this appearance young filly. You see, I wanted Cheerilee to figure out who I was, minus one key detail.” Rose replied as she walked up to the unicorn and parted her mane which revealed none other than then markings of a removed unicorn horn.

“You're a unicorn?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in shock.

“Was a unicorn. That is, until a freak accident left me hornless.” Rose replied and growled loudly.

“So what's this got to do with Cheerilee?” Sweetie Belle asked curiously still glaring at the earth pony.

“I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you, after all, it's not like you'll ever see anypony you know again soon enough to tell.” Rose replied and began to recall the events that lead up to her accident.

FLASH BACK

It was just after my first year in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorn's. Me and Twilight were all but inseparable.

“Can you believe that? I mean what unicorn attempts to transform themselves into a pig?! It'll take the teachers months to sort that out!” Rose exclaimed followed by a hearty laugh.

“Yeah, I'm one for testing spells out myself, but I would never try doing something like that!” Twilight exclaimed with a laugh herself as the two walked out of school only to stop as Cheerilee walked past the two.

“You two are staying out of trouble I hope.” Cheerilee asked with a soft smile as she looked at them.

“Of course!” Twilight replied at which point the two giggled aloud nearly simultaneously.

“Uh-huh...Let's avoid anymore problems this year okay? The staff already have their hooves full with one of the first years attempting to impress me by turning themselves into a pig. It's going to take them years to sort this out.” Cheerilee replied and walked down the sidewalk unknown of the two staring strait at her flank as she walked away.

“Wait, were you just staring at Cheerilee's flank?!” Rose exclaimed in shock as she noticed Twilight's gaze.

“Oh like you weren't!” Twilight countered.

To cut a long story short, suffice it to say that we both admitted to having a crush on Cheerilee at that point. I of course, made my move first about a month later...

“I'm uh, flattered Rose, but let's not jump to any conclusions shall we? Just because I'm your teacher and volunteered to tutor you at your request, does not mean I am attracted to you. And not to mention, you're too young to date anyways, even if I was into mares.” Cheerilee replied nervously just after Rose had bared her heart to the mare.

“But what about all the gifts I sent you? Didn't you like them?” Rose asked as she stared at Cheerilee now.

“Listen, Rose, I'm sure you'll find yourself a wonderful mare or stallion one day, but lets keep this professional, I'm your teacher, not your fillyfriend.” Cheerilee replied as she began to pack her books into her saddle-packs.

She soon left without another word. I was left, crushed, sitting in my room as the mare I loved walked out of my room and soon out of my home. She refused to continue tutoring me and what was worse, she even avoided talking to me after class. Nearly a year had past now, and I was leaving Cheerilee's classroom for the last time...

“Today is your final day in my classroom. You have all been excellent students and next year your hard work will be rewarded with learning practical magic from our third year teacher.” Cheerilee said with a chipper tone just before the bell rang.

“Miss Cheerilee, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come onto you like that awhile ago.” Rose said in a hushed tone as she walked up to the earth pony whom was looking over papers now.

“It's quite alright Rose. You take care of yourself.” Cheerilee replied dismissively not looking away from her papers.

“You coming Twilight?” Rose said in her normal tone of voice to the purple unicorn whom was staring at Cheerilee until she said her name.

“Oh, I'll be along in a few, there's something I need to discuss with Cheerilee before I leave her class.” Twilight replied at which point Rose looked at her suspiciously before she left the classroom.

For the last six months, I had become suspicious of Twilight's actions and why she would barely speak to me all these months. She would often stay behind class and I had no idea why. I decided to leave the room and wait a few minutes then peak into the classroom.

When I decided I had waited long enough, I sneaked to the side of the school where Cheerilee's room was and looked through an open window. I was outraged and crushed by what I witnessed before my eyes!

Right before me sat my best friend and Cheerilee, making out on her desk! It was too much for me to take and I ran way sobbing to myself. How could my best friend betray me like this?! How could Cheerilee lie to me and say she wasn't into mares when she's sitting there making out with Twilight?!

I wouldn't have it! I would have my revenge one way or another! The two would pay for betraying me! But first I would confront my so called “best friend”!

“How could you Twilight?! You knew I loved her!” Rose roared at Twilight whom stared at her ears flattened with a guilty expression.

“I'm sorry Rose, it just happened.” Twilight replied in the most apologetic tone she could muster.

“Just happened, my flank! You two planned this didn't you?! You just wanted to play with my emotions while you two did it every night behind my back!” Rose exclaimed as she tapped Twilight hard on the chest.

“No,no! Rose you have to understand, I-”
“Oh I understand alright! You both betrayed me! Well guess what? Karma’s a mule! I'll destroy you two if it's the last thing I do!” Rose exclaimed and stormed off into the street without bothering to look where she was going.

“Rose look out!” Twilight exclaimed only to be too late to warn her as a stallion pulled carriage ran strait into her head on and set her flying like a rag doll through the sky and onto the ground at which point a bone crunching snap could be heard as Rose's skull collided with the street and snapped her horn clear off her head as it skipped off the ground followed by her body which skipped once more before her body rolled to a slow stop.

I was in a comma for four months and awoke to find out that Twilight and Cheerilee both had visited me, but I didn't care. The two had planned this, they staged for that carriage to hit me, to break my horn, all so I had no way of exacting my revenge how I wanted to! But I would still have my revenge, I would make sure that they both paid for not only breaking my heart but also my horn!

I spread the rumors around Canterlot, telling of Cheerilee's relationship with Twilight. I won't lie, I relished in satisfaction as I watched her get on the train to Ponyville. But I wasn't through, far from it! I just had to wait, wait for the time when Cheerilee fell for another foal, I knew she would eventually. After all, she's a foal fiddler at heart.

I soon disappeared as soon as I was of age, disappearing into the underworld of Equestria. Sewing my roots with the perfect stage to exact my revenge on her when the time was right.

END FLASH BACK

“And then I got wind of the fact that Cheerilee was tutoring you. And that's when it occurred to me, she was dating you. I knew the time was right, to strike and crush her, like she crushed me!” Rose exclaimed as she glared at the filly.

Sweetie Belle simply blinked at her twice after hearing this very one-sided story. “Seriously?” was all the filly could say with an unconvinced look.

“Mock all you like, my plan was perfect!” Rose exclaimed egoistically with a expression to match it.

“That story sounded very one-sided. And you planned all this? The becoming a foal selling sicko, the staging of the entire social worker image, all just to get revenge on a mare who would have never fallen for me to begin with if I hadn't got her drunk?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed incredulously.

“Your young mind is to feeble to comprehend the complexity of a well thought out plan.” Rose retorted with a laugh.

“I think you broke more than your horn when you hit your head Rose.” Scootaloo remarked with an eye-roll.

Rose then glared at Scootaloo for a few moments before she turned to Flim and Flam. “Do what you like to the Pegasus, she's damaged goods, I'll be lucky if I get two thousand bits for a filly with a cunt that used anyways. Leave the unicorn alone however, she may not be a virgin, but she'll still net a hefty profit speaking as she's never been taken by a stallion.” Rose said as she walked away from the campsite.

“Where are you going?” Flim asked curiously.

“To use the mares room, or rather what ever bush I can find to take a whiz behind.” Rose replied nonchalantly as she walked away from the campsite leaving the four alone now.

Both stallions now stared at Scootaloo with smiles that made the Pegasus feel very uncomfortable. “So, how would you like to have some fun us?” Flim asked with a toothy grin as the two walked up to the Pegasus.

“Not interested.” Scootaloo replied with a glare.

“Oh come now, you've never experienced us before! After all, what mare wouldn't want to caught between Two stallions?” Flam added with a smirk as the two stood before her.

“I'm lesbian you flat horned mules. Not like I’d do anything with a couple sickos like you two anyways if I wasn't.” Scootaloo replied once again with a glare.

“Well, we tried asking.” Flim said with a frown to his brother.

“That we did Flim.” Flam replied and moments later the Pegasus found herself levitated into the air, tail lifted up forcefully and positioned between the two stallions.

“No stop! Not again!” Scootaloo shrieked in horror as tears streamed down her cheeks as the horrors of her past flashed before her eyes now as she struggled in vain against their magic.

“Drop her!” Sweetie Belle roared from inside her cage which caused the two stallions to halt before they even began and look at her.

“And what prey tell are you going to do little filly?” Flim asked with a chuckle.

“You can't even cast magic properly yet.” Flam added with a chuckle of his own.

“Maybe you haven't heard, but I have a knack for setting anything I focus my magic towards on fire and I mean anything.” Sweetie Belle replied putting emphasis on the word anything as she eyed the stallion's cocks which were now erect.

Upon hearing this the stallions caught on very quickly, glanced down at their respective packages and gave audible gulps.

“So unless you want those things you call dicks turned into roasted weenies on a stick, I suggest you drop her, now!” The filly exclaimed with a threatening glare as the two stallions continued to stare at her.

It was at this point and time however that a rainbow streak caught her eye as she looked up at the sky now against the pale moonlight. “Rainbow Dash, help!” Scootaloo screamed without thinking. She had no idea if it was her or not, but she was desperate for anypony to save her right now.

Mere moments after Scootaloo's panicked scream the Rainbow streak vanished and moments later a roar which sounded like a timber wolf echoed throughout the area.

“A timber wolf? Here?! But we aren't even close to the Everfree forest!” Rarity exclaimed in fear as she looked about herself.

“Rainbow Dash...Come on everypony! She found them!” Twilight exclaimed as she took a swift u-turn in the direction of where the roar came from.

“What in Equestria was that?!” Rose exclaimed as she came running up to the camp site, saw the situation and rolled her eyes. “If you're going to buck her, you may as well get it done already, don't let me being here stop you.” Rose remarked nonchalantly as she walked up to her saddle-pack and pulled out a book.

However just as she opened the book up, a Rainbow streak blazed past her, Flim, and Flam and mere moments later the stallions found that the filly was no longer in between them and looked around in a panic only to see Rainbow Dash laying her safely on the ground and glared at the three as if they were bugs that needed to be squashed.

“Well, it looks like you missed your chance to buck her, time to get down to business.” Rose remarked nonchalantly as she casually placed the book back into her saddle-pack.

“Stallions like you two are the reason Scootaloo is scared for life. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't snap your dicks along with your necks!” Rainbow Dash roared as she barreled down on the two stallions whom backed up but not in fear, rather in preparation.

“We have two very good reasons, don't we brother?” Flim replied as he pointed his horn at Sweetie Belle.

“Oh yes, two very good reasons brother.” Flam added as he also pointed his horn as Sweetie Belle.

“You better not harm her, she's going to fetch me a hefty price once this is over. And a dead filly doesn't pay squat!” Rose remarked in a threatening tone too the two stallions.

“That all depends on the Pegasus.” Flam replied as he stared at Rainbow Dash whom stood in place but glared at them all the same.

“You honestly think you can hurt her faster than I can fly? You two didn't even see me grab Scootaloo from between your disgusting cocks!

“The better question is, can you fly faster than we can cast our magic?” Flim countered with a sneer.

“While we are at this amusing stalemate, humor me, where is Cheerilee and Twilight? I must say, seeing you alone is a surprise.” Rose remarked with a sneer.

“What makes you think I’m alone?” Rainbow Dash replied as a smile washed over her face and at this exact moment Applejack came galloping from behind the bushes to the left of the campsite, tossed three apples into the air, and bucked them with such velocity and force that upon impact it sent the brothers flying backwards and onto the ground.

The next thing Rose knew, Pinkie Pie was right above her. “Whee! Dogpile!” The pink mare exclaimed as she fell right onto of the mare with a thud followed closely by several animals including Angel who stomped on her head repetitively as Fluttershy walked in from the shadows.

“You see Rose, when you mess with one of our friends, you mess with all of us!” The cyan blue Pegasus exclaimed as she calmly stepped forward.

“Humph, you underestimate my resources you overconfident featherbrain! Flim, Flam, get your flanks up and stop playing possum!” Rose exclaimed and moments later with a mighty cry she stood up with such brute strength that it sent Pinkie Pie and all of Fluttershy's animal friends flying.

“Hey, no fair! Your not supposed to be able to get up from that you meanie pants!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed angrily as she stood back to all four hooves after landing on the ground.

About the same time, Flim and Flam also stood up and began casting spells right and left at the three whom were literally left dancing about the area as they dodged the both stallion's onslaught.

“Heh, what are you going to do now?” Rose jeered only to get a hoof to the face which knocked her to the ground.

“Nopony hurts my animal friends, NO PONY!” Fluttershy roared at Rose in such a fashion that it would have given her outbursts at the grand galloping gala and when Iron will was in town a run for their money.

“Forgive me if I’m not shaking in my hooves.” Rose replied as she stood back up to all fours and stared at her. “You wanna take a shot at the title little Missy? I have you know I used to be an unicorn and anypony knows that a unicorn who's lost their horn gains a hefty amount of strength to-” Rose began to say only to get clocked upside the head once again by the yellow Pegasus.

“Shut your pothole!” Fluttershy roared once again the same fashion as last time.

“Oh, I think I hit nerve, okay no more talk, more action!” Rose exclaimed as she lunged at the yellow Pegasus who gave a rage filled roar as she brawled with the mare on the ground, rolling about as the two exchanged blows.

It was at this point and time that Rarity, Twilight, and Cheerilee finally arrived on the scene but no pony had noticed them yet.

“Rarity, lend Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack a hoof, and Cheerilee, get Sweetie Belle.” Twilight said in a hushed tone.

“What are you going to do Twilight?” Rarity asked curiously.

“Have a nice little chat with an old friend.” Twilight replied but her tone voice was not kind when she spoke, rather it had a hostile tone to it as she now ran up to Rose and Fluttershy whom were still brawling it out.

Without warning Twilight lifted up Rose with her magic, slugged her hard strait in the nose which sent the mare flying a foot backward to the ground, and looked at Fluttershy with a smirk. “Mind if tag in?” The purple unicorn asked humorously.

“Not at all.” Fluttershy replied reflecting the purple unicorn's smile with her own as the two slapped a hoof and moments later Twilight's expression changed into an instant to anger and fury as she stared at Rose and walked up to her.

“Teh, looky who it is. I was wondering when you'd show up.” Rose replied with a sneer as she wiped the blood from her nose and looked at Twilight as she stood to all four hooves.

“You seem rather confident for a mare who's outnumbered seven to three.” Twilight replied as she began to pace in a circle as did Rose.

“I don't count fillies as a threat. Your only weapon is your very limited magic. Sucks being a filly again doesn't it?” Rose replied with a smirk.

“Why'd you do it Rose? Why go through all this trouble to foalnap Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle knowing that Cheerilee and I would eventually recognize you?” Twilight asked as she continued pacing around.

“Revenge, Twilight Sparkle. Sweet, cold, and satisfying revenge! I wanted to make Cheerilee hurt, make feel the pain I felt when she broke my heart! And to a lesser extent, make you suffer as well. Why do you think I turned you into a filly? You told me everything about your foalhood Twilight, what better way to make you suffer than to force you to live through it once again?” Rose replied with a sneer as she stared at the purple unicorn.

“You've been an earth far too long Rose and forgotten that while magic can change the physical appearance of a pony and even their memories, you can't change who they have become or who they love!” Twilight exclaimed as she glanced over at Rarity as she worked on undoing the chains that Scootaloo was bound in.“Something I learned the hard way...” The unicorn added with a note of sadness and guilt in her voice.

“Spare me the sob story Twilight Sparkle. I have some sweet revenge to enjoy! I've waited for this moment for fifteen years!” Rose exclaimed as she tackled the filly without warning and began to pound the stuffing out of her. “What's wrong Twilight? Too little and weak to fight an adult mare?!” Rose exclaimed as she continued to beat the tar out of Twilight.

“Actually, no I’m not.” Twilight voice came from behind the mare at which point Rose looked behind herself and then back to what she thought was Twilight only to find it to be a rag doll version of herself.

“Replacement magic, chapter seven, how to quickly replace yourself with an inanimate object of your choice.” Twilight remarked with a grin.

“Big whoop! I won't fall for the same trick twice! You can't escape me Twilight Sparkle! I will have my revenge! Why the meaning of the word probably hits you like a ton of bricks!” Rose exclaimed as she flung the rag doll to the side and walked towards her only for a sack of bricks to fall on her head with a thud.

“Complements from Rarity. You should have listened to me all those years ago, if you had, you'd still have you're horn.” Twilight remarked with a smirk to the unconscious mare then changed her attention to the skies, focused magic into her horn, and shot a flare of magic which exploded into a flurry of fireworks once it reached it's intended height.

A few moments later, police unicorn ponies appeared in a large number within flashes of magic. Police Pegasus began to flood in from the skies, and a stampede of hooves could be heard from afar.

FIVE MINUTES LATER...

“But you don't understand! She forced us to do it! We're innocent!” Flim exclaimed from behind the bars of a police carriage with a magic inhibitor on his horn along with his brother whom simply sat on one of the benches with pissed off expression with Rose in chains who simply glared through the bars.

“Oh, shut the buck up Flim.” Flam said not bothering to even look at his brother as the carriage rode away.

“All that just for some petty revenge.” Twilight remarked as the three sat in her library several hours later.

“I had no idea she would go to such great lengths just to get back at me and you.” Cheerilee replied followed by a sigh as she nuzzled Sweetie Belle.

Rarity however glared at Cheerilee whom instantly stopped nuzzling the filly. “Back away from Cheerilee. Despite all that's happened, me and you still have unfinished business.” The unicorn said as she walked up to Cheerilee.

“Oh come on Rarity, after all that's happened, you can't still stand by your stupid no seeing me rule!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed outraged.

Rarity ignored the filly's outburst and shoved a piece of paper into the earth pony's hooves. “What's this? A restraining order?” Cheerilee asked with a glare not bothering to look at it yet.

“No, they're adoption papers. If you love her that much, then you may as well keep her with you all day and night and while you're at it, I have arranged for you're teaching post to be moved to Fillydephia. All you need to do is sign the papers and confirm with a friend of mine that you wish to accept this position.” Rarity replied, turned around and sat down.

“What are you saying Rarity?” Cheerilee asked stunned by this new set of information.

“I can't very well keep you two apart, but I can't stand the sight of you either, knowing what you've been doing to my little sister even if she's been consenting to such acts. So I want you and her to leave town. That is, if you want to. I'm not forcing you, but even you remain here and don't sign those papers, you won't be allowed to see Sweetie Belle if I have my way about it. So suggest you sign them before I change my mind.” Rarity replied glaring at the earth pony.

“So, you're forcing us to leave everything we know behind again, is that is?” Cheerilee replied and looked at Sweetie Belle.

“No, you're free to come and go as you please, but I don't want to see you're face around here for some time. Not to mention, nothing in Equestria would stop me from seeing my little sister.” Rarity replied still glaring at her.

“I'll let Sweetie Belle decide.” Cheerilee replied and looked at the filly now.

“But Rarity, she's still a foal, how is she going to teach at a new school?” Twilight asked now looking at her with a worried expression now.

“Stay out of this Twilight Sparkle. Suffice it to say, I've made all the necessary arrangements two weeks prior to this event.” Rarity replied hostilely.

Sweetie Belle of course didn't know what to make of this right off hoof, but as she stared at her sister, she could have swore she saw her wink at her as she glanced at her if only for a moment before she changed her gaze back to Cheerilee with the same glare as before at which point she smiled if only for a moment at her big sister before she turned to Cheerilee.

“Go ahead and sign them. It's not like we won't be able to come back here and visit when we want.” Sweetie Belle said as she looked at Cheerilee.

“Very well, Twilight would be so kind as to hand me a quill and inkwell?” Cheerilee asked as she looked at Twilight whom levitated one of her quills and inkwells over to the mare.

“Can I at least say goodbye to Scootaloo and Applebloom?” Sweetie Belle asked as she looked at her big sister now.

“That's going to be hard to do as Rainbow Dash volunteered to look after Scootaloo for the night and you can't very well fly or walk on clouds and Applebloom is sleeping. I'll be sure to tell them what's happened.” Rarity replied though she didn't look at her sister now as she walked over to the left hand window of the tree house and stared through it.

“There. I signed it.” Cheerilee said after a few moments as she set the quill down with her mouth and looked at the white unicorn whom didn't bother to turn around and look at her.

“Good. Now since Sweetie Belle's things are already packed thanks to this fiasco, you can simply take her to your house and leave in the morning.” Rarity replied still not turning around and continued to stare out the window.

With a heavy sigh, Cheerilee motioned for Sweetie Belle to follow her only for the filly to rush up to Rarity and hug her tightly and whisper the words “Thank you for understanding how much she means to me.” before she rushed to Cheerilee's side and followed her out the door.

“Rarity, I know you don't like Cheerilee, but to banish her and even your little sister from town like this? Even if it's temporary, what in Equestria would posses you to do such a thing?! I can't even wrap my head around what could be going through your mind right now!” Twilight exclaimed with a pissed off expression and tone to match it.

“It's because... I understand them.” Rarity replied finally after what seemed like a awkward silence between the unicorns.

“Wait, you understand them? But why would you do this then? I don't get it.” The purple unicorn replied in confusion.

“I understand them...But I don't want to. Not even I fully understand myself or my actions here tonight Twilight. But I do know one thing.” Rarity replied as she finally turned around to face the purple unicorn which revealed a flood of tears that had been gushing from her eyes for the last five minutes unknown to anypony.

“I need her and Sweetie Belle to be away for awhile. So I can figure this out for myself. You have no idea how much it hurt me to send my little sister away like this, but with the two of them around I can't even begin to make sense of why I understand them.” Rarity replied as she wiped her nose with a sniffle and a slight cough.

“Fine, I won't lecture you anymore. But promise me one thing.” Twilight said as she walked up to Rarity now.

“What is it?”

“Don't leave me out of the loop when you're planning on doing something like this again.” The purple unicorn replied and hugged Rarity tightly...

The diaries of a mad Pegasus part 5

THE DIARIES OF A MAD PEGASUS

PART 5

Scootaloo silently opened the window to Applebloom's room, hovered just outside of it, closed the window, and took off to the skies. She sighed heavily to herself before she landed back at Rarity's, opened the window to her room silently, stepped in, closed it behind her, and began to write a letter quickly before she went to sleep for the night.

Ugh! How did I end up in this featherbrained situation?! I'm so confused! -sigh- Maybe I should just start from where it all began, how I ended up in bed with not only my idol but Applebloom and even Twilight as well. Hopefully once you read this Cheerilee, You'll be able to provide me with a simple solution to my problem. If not, well, I’ll figure something out.

It all started roughly three months ago...

“Are you bucking kidding me? I narrowly escape rape less than five hours ago and you wanna do it no sooner get back to your house?!” Scootaloo exclaimed with a glare at the cyan blue Pegasus who's ears flattened with a guilty expression upon hearing this.

“Sorry kid, I just thought that would help take your mind off things.” Rainbow Dash replied guiltily.

“Enough of this! I've had it with you Rainbow Dash! Every time I come here, no more than five minutes pass before you wanna do with it me! When this all started, I thought you wanted to be with me for me, but I was wrong.” Scootaloo replied then turned to face away from the cyan blue Pegasus. “I'm done Rainbow Dash, I'm tired of being your fetish.” The orange Pegasus remarked and began to walk away only for Rainbow dash to land in front of her.

The cyan blue Pegasus’s expression become hurt upon hearing this. “Is that all you think you are to me? A fetish?”

“What else am I supposed to think? All we ever do when I visit here is buck. We don't talk, we don't even just hang out. For the last few months I've held on, hoping that you would wake up and see what's in front of you besides fresh filly cunt and you've remained just as blind as you are now.” Scootaloo replied as she walked past the cyan blue Pegasus and towards her door only for Rainbow Dash to place a hoof on her shoulder.

“I only did that because that's what I thought you wanted from me. Give me a chance kid, give me a chance to prove that you are more than fresh flank to me.” Rainbow Dash replied as Scootaloo slowly turned around and looked at her idol.

I wasn't sure what to think at this point. Did she really just do me every time I visited because she merely thought that's all I wanted from her? Or was it some lame attempt to keep me coming back for more of what was under my tail?

Without warning, the adult Pegasus leaned in and kissed her on the lips passionately, broke the kiss, and placed a hoof on her cheek. “I love you Scootaloo.” She said in a soft tone as she looked at the filly Pegasus whom looked floored at the moment by these words.

She loves me?! Why didn't she say so before? And why now, when I was about to walk out on her forever?

"I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner." Dash pawed at the floor, choosing her words slowly, "I'm not so great at saying mushy things... Ya know?"

“Y-You featherbrain, why did you have to say this now?” Scootaloo stuttered as tears began flowing from her eyes.

I had planned this nearly a month ago, breaking this off with her, and staying with Rarity. But hearing this now, from my idol, that she loves me, I could feel my ironclad resolve melting away like a stick of butter on a hot iron skillet.

My dream, my fantasy of my idol returning the love I felt for her, it all seemed to be coming true before my very eyes, but what about Rarity? I can't just leave her, I love her too.

“Like I said, I wish I had said this sooner, that way you had known from the start that you were more than just a fetish to me.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied with a smile as she put her arms around the filly and hugged her tightly.

I had no idea what to do or what to say, my entire plan seemed to be falling apart before me and giving way to my hopes and dreams of being with my idol.

----------------------------------------

I decided to stay with her the night and to my shock she never once made a move on me, she just held me as I drifted off to sleep. To say I was torn would be an understatement at this point. The next morning she gave a peck on the cheek and promised me before I left that from now on she would let me make the first move if and when I wanted to do it with her and that we would do a whole lot more than just buck when I came over from now on.

I flew home to Rarity's that morning feeling both guilt and happiness that I hadn't broke it off with her. When I got home however I was in for another shocker.

“Uh, Rarity, are you okay?” Scootaloo asked with a worried expression now as she stared at what looked like a half drunken filly.

“Just fine darling, I've been up all night trying to make sense of why I would send my little sister off with Cheerilee when it occurred to me. This miracle drink makes all the pain go away!” Rarity exclaimed as she waved a bottle of cider in front of the filly.

Thanks to Sweetie Belle, I knew that prior to our memory wipe thanks to Twilight, Rarity was being tortured by her attraction to me. Seeing her drunk before my eyes made me wonder if she wasn't in the same state she was before.

“Rarity, you're drunk. What happened?” The orange Pegasus asked as she walked over to Rarity only for the filly to attempt to grope her much to her shock.

“Come on Scootaloo, lets buck!” Rarity exclaimed drunkenly.

“What? No! You're not yourself right now!” The filly exclaimed as she jumped back from the unicorn.

“Oh but Scootaloo, I'm feeling simply divine right now!” Rarity exclaimed as she stumbled towards the filly only to fall flat on her face and begin snoring.

Thank Celestia for small favors, however I had a bigger problem now. If Rarity, a unicorn who would never touch something she often regarded as a vile beverage, resorted to drinking so much that it put her in that state, something was eating at her.

Whether it be luck or simple coincidence, Twilight walked through the front door a few moments after the white unicorn had passed out on the floor.

“Twilight, we have a serious problem.” Scootaloo said urgently as she rushed up to the purple unicorn who up until she saw Scootaloo's face was smiling and was now frowning.

“I don't get it, when I left her last night, she was in a bit of distress I admit, but I didn't think she would get herself drunk by the time I came over to visit her this morning.” Twilight remarked worriedly as she placed the sleeping filly in her bed with her magic.

“She mentioned something about sending Sweetie Belle off with Cheerilee last night, can you tell me what that was about?” The Pegasus asked curiously as she looked at Rarity.

“Yeah she did, she even gave her adoption papers so that she could keep her with her at all times. It shocked me too, but not as much as when she said they had to be out of town for awhile and sent them off to Fillydephia. Rarity's actions as of late have left me baffled. I honestly don't know what's going through that unicorn's head anymore.” Twilight replied and sighed heavily.

Rarity told me she was going to give Cheerilee custody of Sweetie Belle about two weeks prior to Rose foalnapping me and Sweetie Belle, so this didn't surprise me, but she never said anything about sending her and Cheerilee off to Fillydephia.

“You don't think that she's being tortured by her attraction to me again, do you?” Scootaloo asked curiously at which point the unicorn looked at her.

“Did you remember that just now?” Twilight asked curiously.

“No, Sweetie Belle told me everything I had told her prior to your little memory spell screw up.” The Pegasus replied adding a note of sourness to her tone of voice as she spoke of the memory spell.

“I don't think so, but I suppose we can't rule anything out at this point. Are you two dating again by chance?” The lavender unicorn asked curiously as she looked at Scootaloo now.

“N-No, she hasn't asked me yet.” Scootaloo lied before she turned to look at Rarity and bit her lip.

I really did want to tell Twilight that we were dating again, but Rarity made me promise not to tell anypony till she was ready, I wish I knew why, but she wouldn't say.

“Maybe that's what is torturing her. She wants to ask you, but she's terrified of what will come of it.” Twilight theorized as she placed a hoof on her chin looking deep in thought.

Way off the marker there Twilight.

“Or maybe, it's the spell Flim and Flam put on us. It could possibly be having side effects on Rarity's mind.” The lavender unicorn continued as she began to pace back and forth until her eyes lit up.

“Oh which reminds me! I got a letter from Princess Celestia by normal post today, she said that she'll be sending a book up from the royal library to fix our problem once the royal librarian finds it. She would have sent it with, but the Starswirl the bearded wing is a mess.” Twilight said allowing a smile to wash over her face if only for a moment as she spoke.

“That's great news Twilight, but that doesn't fix my current problem with Rarity.” The Pegasus replied which ruined the uplifting atmosphere the news the unicorn had just said brought in.

It was enough to drive me bonkers. Why would Rarity suddenly resort to drinking? Is it because she wanted to do it with me but couldn't muster the courage to ask so she thought if she got drunk it would fix it? And what do I do about Rainbow Dash? It felt like all the answers to my questions were looming just out of my reach.

PRESENT DAY...

Scootaloo rolled up the parchment of paper, tied a ribbon around it, walked out to the mailbox, placed the letter in, and closed it before walking back inside.

“Something the matter darling?” Rarity asked as she looked at the Pegasus who looked as if she was ready to fall over.

“N-No, it's nothing, I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going to try and get some sleep.” Scootaloo replied groggily as she dragged her hooves along the floor as she walked upstairs, lay in her and Rarity's bed, and sighed.

“What am I going to do?” The Pegasus asked herself dismally before she fell into an uneasy slumber...

The diaries of a mad Pegasus part 6

THE DIARIES OF A MAD PEGASUS

PART 6

Scootaloo awoke sometime in the middle of the afternoon, stretched, yawned, and jumped out of her and Rarity's bed and up to her mirror. Though her body was well rested now, her mind was far from it as it felt just as wired as it did when she fell asleep. The filly then began to comb her mane and sighed aloud as her reflection stared back at her with a sense of conflict in it.

She had a date with Rainbow Dash today and Rarity. What made matters worse was the fact that these dates were about the same time.

TWO MONTHS AND THREE WEEKS AGO...

Just when I thought my life couldn't get anymore complex, life hit me with a curve-ball at me that if I had balls would have left me singing soprano for the next week. I guess I’m getting ahead of myself here, so let me start at when it began.

I was hanging out with Applebloom in an attempt to get my mind off things when she pops the most outrageous of questions.

“So, what's Rarity like in bed?” The farm pony asked as she fed the chickens on her family's farm.

The Pegasus's eyes went wide in shock upon hearing this question. “How did you-?!” Scootaloo began to ask only for it to occur to her mid-question. “I told you everything too didn't I?” She asked dismally.

“Maybe, ah don't really know, but ah know about Rarity cause meh, Sweetie Belle, and you had a big old talk about it. Tellin me ah couldn't tell anypony and all. Ah even made a crusader's oath to keep mah lips shut.” Applebloom replied casually as she walked along the path and began feeding the pigs as the Pegasus walked up next to her once again.

“We haven't done it yet, we aren't even dating again yet.” Scootaloo replied and bit her lower lip once again as she felt a ping of guilt swell in her chest.

I'm singing the same old song over and over again these days and I know it's gonna bite me in the butt. If I had known just how much it would, I would have been honest from the get-go.

“Oh, well ah was just curious about it. Ah mean, ever since that time when we busted Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee doin it, ah can't seem to get that out of mah head, ah know ah said ah'm not lesbian, but it's been naggin at meh. And ah can't very well go find mahself a colt to go at it with to find out if ah am actually lesbian or not.” The farm pony replied and sighed as she put the last of the food in the pig tray and walked to the barn followed closely by the Pegasus as she closed the door behind her.

I really didn't like where this conversation was heading and what's more, Sweetie Belle never told me that I had busted her and Cheerilee doing it. I knew better than to take the bait and ask, but what she was talking about did sound very familiar to me, and I still had plenty of pieces of my memories still in fragments.

“I'm afraid to ask, but I'll bite, what did we actually do when we busted Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee doing it? I'm afraid I’m drawing a blank with this one.” Scootaloo asked curiously to which the farm pony blushed.

Okay a blush more than spelled it out for me, but she was going to tell me anyways, I could tell just by looking at her.

“Ya ate meh out while I watched the two goin at it. Ah admit that at the time ah was just lettin mah body do the thinkin for meh, but that's why it's been buggin meh. And ah was wonderin, if ya could maybe...help me figure out if...well ya know.” The farm pony replied as she pawed at the ground shyly.

And now it was my turn to blush, she wasn't suggesting what I think she is, is she?

The filly's ears flattened as her expression became nervous. “Uh, Applebloom, what are you getting at?”

Of all the questions to ask Scootaloo...

The farm pony didn't respond verbally, rather she let her actions speak for her as she leaned in and kissed the Pegasus without warning at which point Scootaloo abruptly backed up until her rump was pressed against the barn door.

Well, I asked. The answer however, while expected, was not exactly what I exactly expected her to do. I had thought she would ask, not just suddenly lock lips with me!

“Ever heard of asking before you kiss somepony?!” The Pegasus blurted out as the farm pony casually walked up to her, placed a hoof on her mane and ran her hoof through it which sent shivers up the filly's spine.

Applebloom then batted her eyes at the Pegasus and flicked her mane to the side. “But that would ruin the moment. Ah figured since your single right now, ya wouldn't mind foolin around with meh, after all ah'm tryin to figure out if ah'm lesbian or not.”

I'm no expert when it comes to attraction, but when the filly in question makes the first move, it's fairly obvious there's an attraction there. And while we're on the subject of attraction, why in Tartarus does everypony want a piece of my flank as of late?! Did somepony drop a love potion on Ponyville or something?!

“Well, uh, eh-heh, You just kissed me, so, um, problem solved! You're lesbian! Can we go now?” Scootaloo asked nervously as the farm pony ran her hoof along her side towards her right wing.

The farm pony rolled her eyes in annoyance at this remark. “Oh come on, you and meh both know anypony can kiss another and it don't mean anythin. Come on Scootaloo, your mah best friend ain't ya? Ah ain't askin ya to date meh. All ah'm askin is to help a friend figure herself out is all. Ah'm not askin too much am ah?” She asked as her hoof began to run along Scootaloo's wing tips, causing the Pegasus to shudder and fight back a moan.

And the award for the most loaded question of the year goes to...

If the filly's hindquarters could be anymore scrunched against the barn door right now, it would possibly leave an impression of her rump in it. “But what caused you to want to try this? I know not all the pieces are here, but I do remember you getting ticked off with me when I cracked on you for being a closet lesbian.” Scootaloo replied looking as if she was sweating bullets right now.

This is really getting out of hoof now, she's actually starting to get me aroused. I'll be the first to admit, I’ve found her attractive and sure, maybe one or more nights were spent fantasizing about her, but that was before Rainbow Dash, before Rarity.

Ugh, Rarity... How would I explain this if she walked in on us right now?

Upon hearing this, the farm pony backed away much to Scootaloo's relief and sat on the ground now with her tail wrapped around her front hooves as she looked at the ground. “Ah just wanna know. Ever since that day ah let ya eat meh out, ah've been wonderin. Plus a certain pony has caught mah eye and ah don't even know if ah could do anythin with her. Ah know ah like her, but well...” Applebloom began to say but trailed off now with a sigh.

Tug at my heartstrings more would ya Applebloom?! Geez, now I actually feel bad for not letting her continue to advance on me...

Scootaloo walked away from the door and sat next to the farm pony. “Who is this pony anyways?” The Pegasus asked curiously.

Upon hearing this the farm pony sighed. “Somepony who won't tell meh the truth, even though ah know her better than she knows herself.” The farm pony replied softly as her tail flicked along the ground back and forth until it stopped at Scootaloo's front hooves.

Oh for the love of Luna! Don't tell me...

“Ah know you're datin Rarity again Scootaloo, ah ain't stupid. Even if Twilight don't catch on, ah've seen how ya act around her. Like ya is watchin yourself like Sweetie Belle did with Cheerilee.” The farm pony replied then raised her head so that she was eye level with the Pegasus and placed a hoof on her cheek. “Ah can keep it a secret if ya can. No pony has to know.” Applebloom said softly as she slowly leaned in and laid her head on Scootaloo's shoulder.

Why me?

“Okay, I guess I wasn't completely honest with you, but Rarity didn't want me to tell anypony yet. But if you know this, then why are you attempting to get me in bed? I'm not a cheater Applebloom.” Scootaloo replied as she gently moved the farm pony's head from her shoulder and looked at her.

“Quit lyin to meh Scootaloo, ya don't think ah don't know about Rainbow Dash as well? Sweetie Belle told meh about her. The way ah see it, if ya is willin to get some flank on the side from that Pegasus, ah don't see the problem with getting some of meh as well.” Applebloom replied with an annoyed expression.

Buck my life...

“That's not the case at all. It's just that, well, I don't know who to choose just yet. It's complicated.” The Pegasus replied defensively.

“Well ah can't guarantee keepin mah lips shut unless I get mah shot at proven ah can be just as good as an adult mare.” The farm pony replied with sly grin as she stared at Scootaloo.

Who are you and what have you done with Applebloom? My best friend using blackmail to get under my tail? This is wrong on so many levels!

“Since when does one of my best friends resort to blackmail to get under my tail?” Scootaloo asked with an offended expression as she looked at the farm pony now.

Upon hearing this tears began to form in the farm pony's eyes. “Ah-Ah'm sorry! I just want you so badly! The truth is, ah've been crushin on ya for a long time now, but ah've been stubborn and too hardheaded to admit it. When ah met you at Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera. Ya stood up for meh, no pony ever did that for meh before. Ah found mahself thinkin about ya at night at times, wonderin what the hay was wrong with meh.” Applebloom said as she sniffled and wiped tears from her eyes now.

“But ah was still too stubborn to admit to mahself outright that ah was attracted to ya, Ah eventually found mahself fantasizin bout ya, then like a dream come true, ya fulfilled one of mah fantasies right outside of Cheerilee's house. That's when it really hit meh, despite all mah sayin that ah wasn't lesbian, every time ah look at ya, ah find mahself getting wet under the tail. Ah just want one time with ya, that's all. One time and ah won't pester ya again, ah promise.” Applebloom finished and sighed as she sniffed loudly and wiped her nose with a hoof.

Okay, is there a giant sign above my head that says “Fresh flank! Come and get it!” or something?!

“Applebloom, I'm flattered, but blackmail isn't the way to go if you want to get under my tail. In fact it's the fastest way to lose a friend. I don't want to lose you as a friend, so please don't do this to me.” Scootaloo replied in a soft tone as she looked at her best friend and placed her hooves on hers as she spoke now which caused the farm pony to stare back at her.

“Ah'm so sorry!” Applebloom exclaimed without warning and ran out of the barn without another word.

She left me alone with nothing but my thoughts to keep me company now. I could feel a combination of emotions running through my mind and body. Anger, betrayal, sadness, and guilt. I was upset with Applebloom for trying to use blackmail to get under my tail, felt betrayed that my best friend would attempt such a thing in the first place, guilt for causing her to cry, and sadness because I could see how much this hurt her. I didn't know what to make of any of this, and what's worse is that if she hadn't backed off when she had, I would have most likely given in to a fantasy of my own.

Something about this whole thing stinks, what would prompt Applebloom to suddenly advance on me like this? It's as if she was put up to this, as if it was some kind of...Wait a bucking second!

Scootaloo quickly left the barn and began to search for Applebloom and managed to find her crying softly to herself in the clubhouse a short fifteen minutes later.

“Aren't ya still mad at meh?” Applebloom asked between sniffles as she looked at the Pegasus now.

I had my suspicions a certain lavender unicorn was behind this whole thing and if she was, that meant she knew I was dating Rarity again. While my memory may have gotten wiped, I remember the whole deal with Rainbow Dash and our little deal and the pain I put Sweetie Belle through to “test her”.

“Well yeah, but I have to ask, did Twilight put you up to this?” The Pegasus asked as she stood next to the sobbing farm pony who immediately looked at her upon hearing this.

The farm pony's eyes shifted back and forth now as if she was debating on if she should respond for a few brief moments before she spoke. “Sorta...”

That's all I needed to hear. That unicorn may care her own friendships, but she could give a rats bum about anypony else's!

“Thanks, I need to go and have a talk with her.” Scootaloo replied as she turned around and walked out the door.

“Scootaloo, wait!” The farm pony called out but the Pegasus wasn't listening anymore at this point.

CRASH! CLATTER!

Twilight's front door went flying off it's hinges under the brute force of the filly's hind hooves as they collided with her door.

To say I was pissed beyond belief at this moment would be a drastic understatement at the point.

“What in Equestria would posses you to-” Twilight began only for the Pegasus to buck a stack of books out of her way which caused two or more of them to go flying past her head, barely missing it.

“What the buck is your problem Twilight?! First Sweetie Belle and now me?! Who in Equestria gives you the right to decide if our relationships are worth keeping?!” Scootaloo roared at the top of her lungs at the lavender unicorn.

It was at the point and time that Applebloom had rushed onto the scene only to stop and stare in shock at Scootaloo's actions as she bucked yet another stack of books to the side as she made her way towards the unicorn.

“Scootaloo, you have to understand, I was only trying to-” Twilight began to say only to be cut off once again as the filly knocked over the last remaining stack of books that stood in her way, walked up to her, and slammed the unicorn filly against the wall.

“Blackmail?! Is this your new way of testing ponies Twilight?! You may value your own friendships Twilight, but you don't give a flying buck about anypony else's!” Scootaloo roared into the unicorn's face.

Without warning the Pegasus found herself yanked away from the unicorn via Twilight's magic as she glared back at the filly. “Five things Scootaloo, one, this is my library! Two, I may be a filly, but I am still older than you mentally!” Twilight exclaimed as she flung the Pegasus around to look at the mess she had made of her library.

“Three, You have damaged countless books of mine that I have paid out of hoof for! Four, I knew you'd be upset if you found out, but this is no way to treat me or my home! And lastly, I never told Applebloom to blackmail you, you featherbrain!” Twilight exclaimed as she finally released the Pegasus from her magical grasp and let her land on the ground.

“Scootaloo, please listen to meh! It was mah idea to use that on ya. Twilight only asked meh to tempt ya, nothing else ah swear!” Applebloom exclaimed as she finally managed to pull herself out of her shocked state to speak.

My mind was reeling right now from this set of information, why would she use blackmail if she was only meant to tempt me?

“Ah wasn't makin it up when ah said ah was crushin on ya. Ah used Twilight as mah own scape goat to justify mah own underhoofed ambitions. It was wrong of meh and ah'm really sorry! Please don't be mad at her, if you want to hate anypony, hate meh.” Applebloom continued and sighed.

Oh this is-I just-why is nothing making any-AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The Pegasus took several deep breaths now trying to calm herself down and all the while think rationally. Once she had managed to calm herself she looked at Twilight. “Stay the buck out of my life Twilight. I have enough problems on my mind right now.” Scootaloo said simply and calmly then turned to walk away.

“Scootaloo...ah can't begin to say how sorry ah am for all this. ” Applebloom said softly as the Pegasus stopped just next to her.

Scootaloo turned her head to look at Applebloom with a hurt expression as she spoke. “I thought you were better than this Applebloom.” The Pegasus remarked before she took off to the skies without another word.

“Ah just...ah just wanted to be with you.” Applebloom said softly as tears streamed from her eyes now though this was unheard by the Pegasus.

I didn't know what to think, what to do, what to say, I just wanted to find a rock and crawl under it right now. I think it was about this point where my biggest problems began. The point and time where it became all too much and I just stopped caring.

It was so easy to let go of everything as I flew back home to Rarity's. The only thing I had on my mind right now was to give everypony what ever they wanted.

It all felt so easy to do...
What else do you expect a preteen filly to do? Think of a rational and mature solution to my problem?

Heh, if only I was that smart back then...

PRESENT DAY...

“If not for Twilight's intervention, I would still not care.” Scootaloo thought to herself and sighed aloud as she walked downstairs...

The diaries of a mad Pegasus part 7

THE DIARIES OF A MAD PEGASUS

PART 7

“Good afternoon darling. Sleep well?” Rarity greeted with a cheery smile as she walked up to the Pegasus and nuzzled her affectionately.

Scootaloo returned this show of affection with her own as she nuzzled the unicorn back. “As well as I could.” She replied truthfully.

Rarity's expression became concerned upon hearing this and placed a hoof on Scootaloo's shoulder as she looked at her. “Is something the matter darling?”

“No, nothing. I've just got a lot on my mind is all. After all, this is the first official date we'll ever have as a couple and I'm worried somepony might get suspicious.” The Pegasus replied and sighed. This statement was true with the exception of one key fact, Rainbow Dash was the mare she was worried may get wise to the situation.

Rarity's face flushed slightly at this remark and sighed herself only to smile a few moments later. “Now I know how Cheerilee felt when she was in public with Sweetie Belle. But if they can do this, so can we hmm?”

“Y-Yeah.” Scootaloo stuttered slightly in response to this.

Knowing what Rarity went through to be where she is now, a mare with a full understanding of why and how she can love a filly like me, it makes me feel all the more horrible for taking advantage of her that night...

TWO MONTHS AND TWO WEEKS AGO...

A week had past since I had just let everything go and stopped caring about the results of my actions. The thought process was intoxicating, like the world had been lifted from my shoulders. I felt like I could do or say anything and not giving a flying horseshoe what the outcome was.

I was awoken in the middle of the night by the sound of cluttering and laughing. Curiously I went downstairs to check it out.

“Your drinking...again?” Scootaloo asked incredulously as she stared at the drunken unicorn filly whom simply smiled back at her.

“Oh come now darling, it's not that bad once you get used to the flavor.” Rarity replied followed by a giggle as she levitated the bottle to her mouth and took several gulps before she chucked it into the trash can near by.

“Right, well I'm going back to bed now, have fun drinking yourself stupid.” Scootaloo replied sourly as she began to walk back upstairs only to be halted by the unicorn.

Rarity right now was reminding me a lot of my mother at this point, a fact that despite my new non-caring attitude, did bug me a lot.

“Drinking myself...stupid?” Rarity asked slowly as though the words were slowly sinking in as she spoke them.

“Yeah, you've been getting yourself drunk practically every night for the last month. My mother would be proud.” Scootaloo replied sourly.

Okay, that was a slip of the lip, I never meant to compare her to my mother.

Upon hearing these words the unicorn's happy expression suddenly vanished and was replaced with a torrent of tears as she suddenly hugged the Pegasus tightly. “What's come over me?! I'm a wreck! Why, I’m no better than that drunken mare or that sick bastard I rescued you from!” Rarity exclaimed between sobs as she held the Pegasus tightly now.

“You're not like my mother or my father, you've just got a lot on your mind.” The Pegasus replied comfortingly as she ran her hoof along Rarity's back sensually.

The only time my care-free attitude took a backseat was for this short time I think.

“I can't help it though, I didn't know what else to turn to! I've been trying to figure out over and over how and why I'm so deeply in love with you and nothing makes sense! It's enough to drive me mad.” Rarity continued as she sobbed softly into Scootaloo's chest.

Love...if only it were that easy to explain it. I'm sure somepony would have already figured it out, created a way to replicate it, and slap it on a bottle for sale in the marketplace. Of course, having all our memories in tact would also be a plus...

“I'm sure there is some way to figure it out. You'll find a way.” Scootaloo replied reassuringly.

“Yes, yes there is.” Rarity replied thoughtfully, stood up, stumbled slightly, and did her best to give the most strait face she could possibly make. “I'm going to have sex with you Scootaloo.” Rarity stated candidly yet her tone of voice sounded as serious as it could possibly go despite sounding half drunken.

“Wait, what?! This again?” The Pegasus exasperated with an eye-rolling gesture.

Rarity however leaned in and locked lips with Scootaloo who began to protest at first but only at first.

Non-caring mode in three...two...one...

Scootaloo returned the kiss and began to make out with her lover right in the middle of Rarity's workstation as the heat of arousal mounted between the two fillies.

The two soon found themselves flat on the floor with Rarity on top of the Pegasus after she had lost her hoofing and fell forward but the two didn't miss a beat as Rarity's hoof slowly made it's way down the Pegasus's underside.

My inner desires to make love to Rarity took the forefront of my mind at this point. It was something I had longed for. To express my love for her in the most intimate of ways.

The Pegasus gave a sharp pleasurable moan as Rarity's hoof found it's mark and began to massage her moistening slit in an up and down fashion as the two continued to make out.

“Don't...mmph...stop.” Scootaloo managed to utter out between kisses and moans as Rarity's fluid strokes began to make slick squelching sounds with each stroke along the filly's mound as it grew wetter and wetter with each stroke.

Scootaloo's right hoof soon began to trail down Rarity's underside as her left one ran back and forth through the unicorn's mane haphazardly. As her hoof neared it's mark however, Rarity suddenly stopped stroking the filly and stood up.

Oh geez, she isn't having second thoughts is she?

Rarity than focused magic into her horn and a stream of magic shot forth to one of her workstation drawers, opened it, and levitated a fairly large object over to the two. “Do you know what this is sweetheart?” Rarity asked lustfully as she levitated just in front of the Pegasus's face.

It looked like a simple gemstone to me, but if I had a guess, she had another use for it.

“I made this a long time ago, it's something I used when I felt lonely. And now...” The unicorn replied purposely trailing off as she slowly slid the smooth cylinder shaped gemstone inside of Scootaloo's love tunnel causing the Pegasus to moan out. “We get to share it.” The unicorn continued as she adjusted herself and slid herself onto the object as well giving the Pegasus a clear view of her cunt as it stretched and wrapped itself around what was not inside her right now until both filly's vagina's “connected”.

I never was one to enjoy having anything closely resembling a cock inside me for obvious reasons, but this felt unbelievably pleasurable. I have to admit, if my bastard father hadn't scarred me for life, I would have most likely been strait, or at least bi after experiencing this.

“Dear Luna, this feels awesome!” The Scootaloo moaned out as Rarity began to glide herself up and down over the cylinder shaped object would caused it to move slightly back and forth inside the Pegasus whom moaned out.

“It's more fun if you thrust as well darling.” Rarity remarked after a few moments between moans.

Scootaloo timidly began to thrust as well though getting the timing and rhythm right was a bit hard for her at first which resulted in the gemstone sliding out of her with a soft and sloppy popping sound at which point Rarity guided it back inside her soaking well orange slit each time it popped out. Soon however, the filly caught on and began to mimic Rarity's motions.

If it felt pleasurable before, now it felt ten times more so as the Pegasus moaned out, put a hoof to her mouth, and bit down hard on it as if to find someway to vent the pent up screams she wanted to shout.

“Don't hold back, I want to hear you scream!” Rarity exclaimed with a mischievous grin as she used her magic to move the filly's hoof away from her mouth.

She wants screaming? Well she asked for it...

If Scootaloo could scream any louder in sheer ecstasy, the windows in Rarity's home would have shattered. Hearing the filly's screams of pleasure however seemed to rile the unicorn up as she began to thrust the object back and forth now at a much quicker pace than before. Each motion causing a loud squelching sound to emit from her cunt followed by a wet and sloppy slapping sound as she slammed her pussy onto the filly's.

I think it was about this point and time where I lost all since of reality and got really wild...

Without warning, the Pegasus wrapped her hooves around Rarity's head and practically slammed her face into the unicorn's making out with her as their tongues danced about inside each others mouth's all the while their thrusting was becoming more and more erratic as their pleasure mounted more and more pushing the two closer to their inevitable climaxes.

Rarity's thrusting by now had become so erratic that the gemstone nearly slipped out a number of times as she slammed her cunt back down as if to slam the tip of the gemstone as far as it would go inside her. Sweat and musk now filled the room as the two fillies continued their love making with rarity's only breaking their rapid kissing to catch her breath and fling her mane out of her face which had become an absolute wreck thanks to the sweat which was gushing from every pore of her head and body.

Scootaloo's wings were wrapped around Rarity's body now running up and down her back as if to grope every inch of her body as she moaned out and screamed into each kiss the two shared while her thrusting had become just about as erratic as Rarity's.

Rarity broke the kissing a few moments later and stared at Scootaloo as she continued slap her slit against Scootaloo's.“So close, are you going to cum darling?” Rarity asked lustfully as she stared back at her lover.

If I was in any proper state of mind right now, I would have questioned her on her “crude” terms as she often put it, but I was so close and lost in a wave of bliss and pleasure that I didn't care.

“Only if, uhh, you are.” Scootaloo replied between moans.

Without another word the unicorn once again locked lips with the Pegasus and began to slam her slit as hard as she could against the filly's while Scootaloo returned the favor and thrust her slit against Rarity's as hard as she possibly could.

The result of this hard new rhythm between the fillies pushed them over the edge as the two moaned in unison as their respective slits slapped against each other once more and a torrent of juice gushed between them soaking each others slits in their juices as they ground them against each other while they road out their climaxes. Rarity broke the kiss and laid her head on Scootaloo's chest as she panted softly. “I love you Scootaloo.” She muttered drowsily.

Before Scootaloo could even respond however, the unicorn was fast asleep, with the cylinder gemstone still deep inside her. Sleep soon took hold of Scootaloo as well however and she fell asleep soon after Rarity had.

THE NEXT MORNING...

Rarity was the first to awaken and looked about her surroundings in confusion as her senses slowly woke up along with her mind. It was then she felt it, something was buried deep inside her marehood. It was then that the blur of memories from last last flashed through her mind. The unicorn quickly slid the object out of her though biting her lip as a wave of pleasure surged through her body as she slid it out and took note of it also being inside of Scootaloo as well.

That was when the events of last night became much clearer to the unicorn as Scootaloo slowly woke up as well.

“Morning Rarity, last night was awesome!” The Pegasus exclaimed drowsily, glanced down, and realized the cylinder gemstone was still inside her and pulled it out with her front hooves with a slight blush. “Heh, guess we passed out before we could take the thing out.” She remarked sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head with her right hoof.

“I can't believe we did that. Scootaloo, didn't you realize I was drunk?” Rarity disconcerted.

“Yeah, but you wanted to do it, so I went along with it.” Scootaloo replied nonchalantly as she stood up to all four hooves, stretched her wings and legs, and gave a content sigh before she quickly left the room and went to grab some breakfast.

If I had bothered to care right now, I would have noticed the fact that Rarity looked hurt and saddened that I had taken advantage of her in her drunken state.

Boy was I stupid.

PRESENT DAY...

“Listen Rarity, about taking advantage of you when you were drunk awhile back...” Scootaloo started but trailed off as the unicorn placed a hoof gently over her mouth.

“Don't concern yourself with past events darling, I was not myself and it's not like you raped me or anything, despite my drunken state, I was completely willing. And I must admit, looking back, I did enjoy it.” Rarity replied though her face was beat red as she spoke now.

Her words of comfort gave me no reprieve from my own guilt for doing that to her though. Even though she was willing, I felt like I had raped her. She clearly wasn't ready to be intimate with me yet but I didn't care back then...

“Let us be on our way, we have a date to attend do we not?” Rarity said simply as she smiled at Scootaloo before she turned about face and walked towards the door.

“R-Right.” The Pegasus stuttered as she quickly followed the unicorn out the door.

TWO MONTHS AND ONE WEEK AGO...

The rest of my week went as normal as it usually had, except for one event that happened that weekend. Looking back I can't believe my own actions, but hey, when you don't give a flying horseshoe, nothing feels out of bounds to you.

“Hey Scoots, ah'm sorry ah tried to make a move on ya.” Applebloom apologized as she walked up to the Pegasus whom was napping on a cloud at the moment.

“Don't sweat it Applebloom, I did some thinking and you were just doing what Twilight asked. Even if you used her to try and get a piece of me.” Scootaloo replied nonchalantly.

“That's very...carefree of ya to say Scootaloo. Are ya sure you are okay?” The farm pony replied as she watched her words carefully now. She didn't want to sound rude, but what she really wanted to ask was “Why are you acting like Rainbow Dash?” since the cyan blue Pegasus had an ego the size of Manehattan and her friend was acting like her which wasn't something the filly was used to.

“More than okay, I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders! Oh and about asking how Rarity is in bed, she's awesome! I wonder if Rainbow Dash is horny right now, I might go and buck her next.” The Pegasus replied enthusiastically as she turned onto her belly and looked down at the farm pony.

“What in tarnation happened to ya Scootaloo? You ain't actin like ya did a few weeks ago and it's worrin meh.” Applebloom replied with a look of concern on her face now.

“Nothing happened. I just got tired of worrying about everything is all.” Scootaloo replied as she jumped off the cloud and landed next to Applebloom. “Oh and if you want a piece of this flank, just ask, but not right now, I've gotta go and help Pinkie Pie, she said she wanted me to help her with making cupcake deliveries.” She added as she slapped the farm pony's hindquarters with her tail and took off from the ground leaving the farm pony with a beat red blush.

I know I was carefree and all, but offering my candy prize up to Applebloom so openly just makes me sick to my stomach looking back on it. It made me feel dirty, but despite that, I went and delivered Pinkie Pie's cupcakes and made my way back to Rarity's.

“Scootaloo, we need to talk.” Rarity said with a note of seriousness in her voice.

“Can't talk now, came to grab something to eat before I go to Rainbow Dash's for some advanced flying lessons.” Scootaloo replied dismissively as she rushed past the unicorn to the kitchen, walked out with a lettuce sandwich in her mouth, and left the house without another word.

Advanced flying lessons my hoof, I had one thing on my mind right now, and that was to get in bed with my idol.

To everypony:

Sorry, I'm out of town for the week! I've been slacking on my training at the wonderbolt academy and they are getting a little sore with me for skipping out on so many training exercises.

Will be back by the weekend,

RD

“Of all the times to not be lazy, it had to be when I wanted to come here and drink that blue fountain of yours dry.” Scootaloo remarked exasperated as she stomped on the cloud in frustration.

Okay I admit that about this time I was getting out of control, I had gone from not caring to a horny filly with sex on the brain.

“I wonder if Applebloom still wants to go at it with me?” The Pegasus remarked aloud curiously with a smirk as she tapped her chin with her right hoof before taking off from the cloud and towards the farm pony's house.

PRESENT DAY...

“We're here.” Rarity said happily which snapped the Pegasus out of her thoughts and looked about herself.

“Awesome.” Scootaloo replied a little too quickly for her own comfort as she looked about for any signs of Rainbow Dash while the two walked inside the restaurant.

“Table for two.” Rarity said politely to the host pony whom eyed her curiously but motioned for them to follow regardless.

“Rarity, you do realize that this is a restaurant only couples come to right?” Scootaloo whispered to the unicorn.

I of course knew this, which is why I had arranged the date with my idol in the cloud seats above, but I didn't count on Rarity suggesting the same place or at nearly the same time.

“Of course darling, but parents bring their foals here too.” Rarity replied in the same whisper confidently as she motioned her head towards a couple and two foals at a table as they walked past it.

The host soon stopped just short of a table for two and motioned for the two to sit down. “A waiter will be with you shortly madam.” The host said and quickly walked away leaving the two alone.

“So, here we are. Anything you'd like to talk about?” Rarity asked politely as she batted her eyes as the filly in flirtatious manner.

“Not really, I mean I don't know what to talk about that wouldn't make other ponies stare at it weirdly.” Scootaloo replied uncomfortably as she glanced up at the clock on the wall.

“Table for two” A voice suddenly said which the Pegasus recognized immediately as her idol's and nearly knocked off the glass of water the waiter pony as just placed on the table with her wing as she turned to look at the host whom was motioning for a Pegasus waiter to guide her up to the cloud seats.

“Oh, looks like we aren't the only ones who have a date here, I wonder who Rainbow Dash could be dating? I didn't see anypony come in with her.” Rarity remarked causally as she took a sip of her water.

I had hopped she would have forgotten by now or at least been late, but to my shock she's right on time. Ponyfeathers!

“Eh-heh, who knows, right?” Scootaloo replied nervously.

If there was one perk I was grateful for with us having our memories wiped, it was the fact that she forgot my entire story about Rainbow Dash. Of course if it wasn't for Sweetie Belle filling in all the gaps to begin with, I would have not even remembered I had told her about it.

This is setting up to be the worst date in history for me...

The diaries of a mad Pegasus part 8

THE DIARIES OF A MAD PEGASUS

PART 8

IN FILLYDEPHIA...

Sweetie Belle walked outside of their house in Fillydephia, looked about it and sighed dejectedly. True as it was that she was with the mare she loved, she did miss the familiar sight of Ponyville. Despite this momentary feeling of homesickness, she quickly walked up to their mailbox, took out the mail, and walked back inside.

“So, anything new for us?” Cheerilee asked as she made the two lunch.

“Bills,bills, bills, b-oh hey, it's a letter from Scootaloo! Took her three gosh darn months to write didn't it?” The filly asked as she excitedly undid the bow around the letter, unrolled it, and began to read it. However, as she read it, her happiness soon turned to worry.

“Something the matter Sweetie?” Cheerilee asked curiously taking note of the filly's sudden frown.

“It's Scootaloo, she's found herself in a bit of a predicament it seems.” Sweetie Belle replied and handed the earth pony the letter who's ears flattened as she read the note.

“Oh dear, this doesn't look like it's going to end well does it?” Cheerilee remarked with a frown as she looked up from the letter to her lover whom nodded silently.

“Maybe we should head back to Ponyville and check on her. The mail may run fast, but I have a feeling our letter won't reach Scootaloo before she goes on this date. That and I think this calls for a hooves on approach.” Cheerilee remarked aloud.

“Yeah, besides I bet Applebloom and Scootaloo will be happy to see me!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed excitedly.

“Then lets go to the train station and buy ourselves a round trip ticket after we have lunch shall we?” Cheerilee replied as she finished up making their sandwiches.

IN PONYVILLE...

“I uh, need to use the little filly's room. I'll be back soon!” Scootaloo said hurriedly as she got out of her chair, walked towards the restrooms, took a quick glance to make sure Rarity wasn't looking, and took off for the cloud seats just above.

“Where have ya been kid? I've been waiting here for a whole ten minutes.” Rainbow Dash remarked annoyance.

“S-Sorry. I lost track of time and I also had to lose Rarity.” Scootaloo replied nervously as she sat in the cloud seat adjacent from her idol.

“No sweat kid, now we can order something to eat.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied as she signaled for the waiter to come to their table.

“May I take your order?” The waiter asked politely though he eyed Scootaloo curiously as he spoke.

Had he already seen me with Rarity? I didn't know, but I did know that I didn't like him looking at me like that.

The waiter quickly jotted the two Pegasus’s orders down and flew down to the floor seats.

“So, kid, anything you want to talk about? I mean it was your idea to go on a date anyways, not that I’m complaining or anything.” Rainbow Dash said casually as she looked around herself then back to the filly.

“Not really. I just wanted to do something with you that didn't involve flying all over Ponyville or, doing,um, well, what we tend to do when we are alone at your place.” Scootaloo replied phrasing her words carefully as she spoke and gave a fleeting panicked glance around herself and down to the seat where Rarity was.

She could see her so easily from her and the only saving grace she had was that the viewpoint wasn't as nearly forgiving from the ground. If it was, all the unicorn had to do was look up and little to the left and she would have seen her with her idol.

TWO MONTHS AGO...

I had tried to get Applebloom last week but she had disappeared to help her older sister with apple-bucking so I waited patently, like a lion stalking it's prey, only in this case, the prey wanted to be eaten...heh,heh...

“Hey Applebloom, how's it hanging?” Scootaloo asked causally as she hovered just above the farm pony.

“Ah doin alright ah suppose, but ah'm still a might worried bout ya. This new care free attitude of yours can only spell trouble. The Scootaloo ah know would never so openly over her flank to meh, heck, ah'm still feelin horrible for what ah did to ya about a month ago.” Applebloom replied as she walked over down the path towards their clubhouse.

“I told you not to sweat that Applebloom. It was nothing, besides you still want a piece of me right?” Scootaloo asked coolly as she landed next to the farm pony as she opened the door to the clubhouse.

Upon hearing this the farm pony bit her lower lip as if to hold off the first thing that came to mind. “N-no, ah'm over that. It was just a phase ah was goin through.” Applebloom replied stuttering slightly over her words now.

“Uh-huh.” The Pegasus replied unconvinced as she innocently walked over to a corner of the clubhouse, bent over, and began to look at one of the books left on the ground.

“Ah'm serious. It was silly of meh to get under um, you, your....” Applebloom began to say only to trail off as she felt her words falter at the sight that beheld her now.

I knew she was staring at my candy prize right now, I could feel her eyes scanning every part of it. I don't know why I was being so upfront and flirty with her when I look back. I guess part of me wanted to let my best friend's fantasies come true while the other part of me wanted to fulfill her own fantasy.

“Something wrong Applebloom?” Scootaloo asked with a smirk as she continued to feign reading the book in front of her with her tail up in the air.

“N-No, nothin's wrong. I'm just a tad...distracted at the moment.” The farm pony replied absentmindedly as she continued to stare the Pegasus's hindquarters almost drooling now.

The farm pony went silent as she continued to stare feeling herself grow wetter by the second under the tail, that is, until she shook her head furiously as if to shake off any temptation and turned to look away to the window. Yet her gaze slowly shifted back to the Pegasus's hindquarters. “Ah-Ah'm not takin the bait Scootaloo, so ya can stop flashin your cherrybush at meh.” Applebloom stated defiantly before she switched her gaze back to the window.

Crud, she caught on.

“Guilty.” Scootaloo replied followed by a giggle-fit as she walked up and stood next to to her best friend.

“That's not funny Scoots. Ya is really worryin meh now. Ah mean, since when did ya become so open that ya would attempt to get meh all hot and bothered?” Applebloom replied with a slight glare now as she looked over at the Pegasus whom was looking out the window next to her.

“So much for that phase of yours.” Scootaloo replied with a sly grin to which the farm pony snapped her gaze right at her with a crimson red blush.

“Ah-Ah didn't mean it like-What ah meant to say is-Oh horseapples!” Applebloom perturbed as she slammed a hoof on the window seal.

“Tsk,tsk,tsk, Applebloom. Such language.” Scootaloo jeered maintaining the same sly grin.

“Stuff an apple in it Scootaloo.” The farm pony retorted sourly.

“Okay, Okay, I won't tease you anymore, but I have to ask, why the sudden change in attitude? About a month ago you tried to resort to blackmail to get under my tail. Now you suddenly want nothing to do with it?” Scootaloo asked curiously with a hint of seriousness in her tone of voice as she spoke.

“Ah had just realized ah might be lesbian for pony's sake Scootaloo. Or at least bi at any rate. Ah was desperate and not thinkin strait back then. Do ya have any idea what mah family thinks of ponies who go after the cheery bush instead of the carrot stick when they are fillies or mares? That's why ah wanted to know so badly if ah could go through with it or not. So ah could prepare mahself for exile if ah was.” Applebloom remarked aloud with a sigh.

“So what if you like the taste of filly juice over colt milk, I won't judge you.” The Pegasus replied as she placed her left hoof on her friend's shoulder.

“Ah know you won't, but mah family ain't so forgivin. Ah can picture Applejack's response to mah comin out of the closet.” Applebloom replied and sighed dejectedly.

“So do you know if you are for sure?” Scootaloo asked curiously.

“No, but ah got no way of findin out.” The farm pony replied and sighed once more.

“Sure you do.” The Pegasus replied with a smirk.

“Not happin Scoots.” Applebloom countered with a glare.

The Pegasus slapped her right hoof onto her forehead and gave an aggravated sigh at this reply. “Why not?!” Scootaloo exasperated.

“Because it won't mean anythin!” Applebloom roared at the top of her lungs before she hopped back down to all four hooves and walked to the other side of the club house and sat down with her ears flattened as she looked at the floor.

Her words struck me like a hammer to the skull. She really did make me question myself at the point and time. But that lasted for about thirty seconds. I wasn't about to let myself care again. No, I refused to.

“Whatever. Catch ya later Applebloom.” The Pegasus replied after an awkward silence between the two and took off out the clubhouse window.

“You really have changed...” The farm pony remarked to herself as a silent tear streaked down her right cheek and hit the floor with a faint plop.

PRESENT DAY...

“Yo, kid, you're staring off into space. What's on your mind?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously which snapped the orange Pegasus out of her thoughts.

“N-Nothing, well something, but I can't really talk about it.” Scootaloo replied stumbling over her words as she spoke.

“You know you can talk to me about anything right?” The cyan blue Pegasus replied as she reached a crossed the table and placed her hooves over the filly's which caused her to stare back at her.

Anything...right. Anything but THIS.

“Yeah, I know. Listen, I um, need to use the little filly's room, I'll be back in a few minutes.” Scootaloo replied, stood up, and dove down towards the restrooms, looked up to make sure her idol wasn't looking and quickly darted over to the table Rarity was sitting at.

“What took you so long darling? You didn't fall in did you?” Rarity joked with a smile as the Pegasus sat down at her seat.

“N-Nah, I just um, well, ahem...” The filly replied making a nonverbal gesture with her right hoof to under her tail.

“Oh...Oh! Right, well when nature calls there's not much you can do about it is there? Eh-heh...” Rarity replied going a slight shade of green upon catching on to what the filly was hinting at.

“Yeah, eh-heh..” Scootaloo replied nervously.

“Well, I hope you don't mind darling, but I took the liberty of ordering for you. I certainly hope you enjoy their special.” Rarity said as she levitated her drink to her lips.

“Um, Rarity that isn't what I think it is, is it?” Scootaloo asked as the scent of alcohol struck her nose.

Upon hearing this question the unicorn nearly choked on her drink. “Of course not darling, I told you I gave that stuff up.” Rarity replied with a nervous smile.

I wasn't convinced, but then again my actions back then didn't help much...

ONE MONTH AND TWO WEEKS AGO...

My idol was back in town and I had one thing on my mind...

“Hey kid what's-mmph!” Rainbow Dash asked causally only for the filly to nearly tackle her no sooner she opened the door and began groping her as she made out with her.

I didn't care at this point if she was willing or not, I had one thing on my mind, to dominate my idol like I had the first time we had done it. Looking back, I’m lucky she didn't resist. Or I might have become something far worse...

“I'm gonna make you my mule.” Scootaloo said lustfully as she pushed the cyan blue Pegasus onto a couch in her living room.

“Getting kinky again are we? Haven't been like this for awhile, I like it.” Rainbow Dash replied with a sly grin.

“Shut up and lick my slit mule.” Scootaloo demanded as she hoped onto her idol, placed her of her front hooves against the wall, and shoved her dripping mound into Rainbow Dash's face.

This kind of attitude wasn't foreign to my idol as it was one I used quite often when we first started out. Still, I think she liked me the best when I was the dominatrix.

Without another word Rainbow Dash began to lap at the filly's puffy orange cunt causing Scootaloo to moan out and grind her hooves against the wall as she bucked herself forward ever so often. “You like my little foal cunt don't you Rainbow Dash?” Scootaloo asked between moans as the cyan blue Pegasus continued to suckle and lap at her soaking wet prize savoring every drop of the filly's juices.

Upon hearing this however, Rainbow Dash stopped licking and gave a worried glance upward towards Scootaloo whom looked down at her. “I'm all for being kinky, but isn't this a bit much?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously with a note of concern as she spoke.

“Oh come on, you've eaten me out so many times and your complaining about this now?” Scootaloo asked with a glare followed by a aggravated sigh.

“Not complaining, but I thought you didn't like being thought of as a fetish. Which is kind of what your trying to make me do right now.” Rainbow Dash replied still looking worried.

If I had bothered to give a flying horseshoe right now, yeah that would have bugged me, but I didn't.

“Nah, that doesn't bug me anymore. In fact I could care less, so get to licking, foal fiddler.” Scootaloo replied with a smirk.

Okay, so the foal fiddler remark was a bit much even for not caring, I did feel a ping of guilt for saying that, but it didn't last long.

“Okay, I’m not doing this. Being kinky is one thing, but I won't let you treat me or yourself like a tool. Your not a fetish to me Scootaloo, I love you.” Rainbow Dash replied as she placed her hooves around the filly's waist and sat her down next to her. “What the heck happened to you kid? Even Applebloom is worried about you.” The cyan blue Pegasus asked looking very concerned now.

“You talked to Applebloom?” Scootaloo asked as she felt her chest grow ice cold.

Okay, even for a pony who doesn't give a flying horseshoe, your lover finding out you've been trying to mess with another pony, very bad thing!

“Yeah, she told me that she saw a big change in how you acted, and not the good kind. She wouldn't give me the details, only that she was really worried about you.” Rainbow Dash continued and placed her hooves on Scootaloo's as she looked at her.

The filly felt a wave of relief wash over her upon hearing that Applebloom was kind enough to neglect the details of her actions which allowed her to loosen her mood back to it's former state. “Nothing's wrong! Why does everypony keep asking me this? I just let stuff stop getting to me is all.” Scootaloo replied hostilely, jumped off the couch, and began to walk to the door.

“Where are you going? I'm not even close to done here.” Rainbow Dash replied with an annoyed expression.

“I'm going home to scratch an itch that you won't scratch!” The Pegasus exclaimed, opened the door, and slammed it behind her.

“How dare she question me when I was openly giving her some flank? What a buzzkill! I'll just go home and do it with Rarity again.” Scootaloo exclaimed in sexual frustration as she flew back to Rarity's.

“Hey Rarity, you home?” The Pegasus called out as she opened the door and closed it behind her to see the filly once again with a bottle in hoof. “Sweet! Drunk off her gourd as I had hoped.” The Pegasus thought to herself excitedly.

Wait, I was actually happy she's drunk? Horseapples, was I messed up...

“So Rarity, wanna do anything to pass the time?” Scootaloo asked with a sly grin as she ran her tail along the unicorn's hindquarters causing her to jump up and look at her as Scootaloo turned about face, lifted her tail and looked behind herself at the unicorn with a smirk.

The unicorn stared at Scootaloo as if transfixed on her until her eyes lit up suddenly.“I knoooow!” The unicorn exclaimed abruptly dragging out the word “Know” much longer out that she should of as she shouted this drunkenly and began to levitate multiple fabrics and objects to her and began to sew, cut, and stitch them as if she was a filly possessed.

“Fine, sew your heart out.” Scootaloo remarked sourly as she left the house and took off to the skies.

It was about this point and time that I went REALLY out of control. I have no idea what was going through my mind to make me even consider to do this at the time. Maybe I was just desperate for an escape. Heck, I’ve been running from my problems for the last month and a half now.

Scootaloo soon landed at Twilight's library and opened the door. “Hey Twilight, wanna buck?” Scootaloo asked candidly as she walked in which caused the unicorn to literally lose control of her magic and fling the book she was levitating out a window which shattered as she sailed through it while her entire body seemed to seize up comically along with an expression of pure shock.

A few moments later she finally managed to recover from the sheer shock of the question spoke. “Why in Equestria would you ask me that?! Aren't you with Rarity right now?” Twilight asked as she turned to look at the Pegasus now.

“Yeah, but she's not putting out. Besides, I know you've been wanting a piece of me for some time. You call Rainbow Dash a foal fiddler, but your just as bad.” Scootaloo replied as she past a few stacks of books and stopped just short of the unicorn.

“I-I don't know what you're talking about.” The lavender unicorn replied with a shifty-eyed look as she quickly walked away from the Pegasus and to the bookshelf to her left as if to look for a book.

“Uh-huh, sure you don't. That's why you tried to get me to fool with Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. I'd even bet fifty bits you put some kind of magical observation device in that barn so you could watch us go at it didn't you? Bet you were disappointed when we didn't.” Scootaloo replied confidently as she walked up behind the lavender filly, placed a hoof on her hindquarters, and gave it a soft swat causing the unicorn's tail and mane to stand on end practically.

MEANWHILE AT RARITY'S...

“This here, that there, and a little hole right here! Haha! I'm so brilliant!” Rarity exclaimed drunkenly as she continued to work at the outfit she was making. “Now I just need to find some leather for the finishing touches! Scootaloo will love this!” The unicorn exclaimed as she turned about and stumbled towards one of her supply cabinets...

BACK AT TWILIGHT'S LIBRARY...

The unicorn abruptly turned to face Scootaloo now and stared at her nervously as the Pegasus walked past her. “Listen, I'm really busy right now so if you could-!” Twilight began to say only to be cut off by Scootaloo's tail running under hers and along her mound causing her to blush crimson red. “Sc-Scootaloo!” Twilight exclaimed and she jolted her body in a one hundred and eighty spin so she was facing the filly again.

“Come on Twilight, I’m horny, and I know you want me.” Scootaloo replied with a smirk.

It was at this point and time the unicorn looked at the Pegasus with a thoughtful expression for a few moments before she smiled suddenly. “Alright Scootaloo, you wanna do me that badly? Well we'll do it my way.” The unicorn replied with a smirk as her horn began to glow and began to cast a spell onto the Pegasus.

To say I was taken back by what she had planned would be a drastic understatement.

“What...the...buck?!” Scootaloo exclaimed in shock and confusion as she stared at the sudden appearance of an appendage she knew she didn't have before.

“I gave you a dick, I did say we would be doing this my way after all. But if you don't want to go through with it, I can remove it just as easily.” Twilight replied with a smirk.

She was once again testing me, a fact I caught onto very quickly by her facial expression. I of course wasn't about to let her win, despite the fact the very thing between my legs right now was the reason I went lesbian.

“Fine, you wanna do it your way? Then turn around and lift that tail. ” Scootaloo replied with a smirk of her own.

The unicorn's confident expression vanished upon hearing these words and was once again replaced with the nervous expression she held once before as her ears flattened. “Y-You sure you wanna go through with this?” Twilight asked nervously as Scootaloo's new addition soon became firm.

“Did I stutter?” Scootaloo replied confidently taking a step forward.

I knew she hadn't counted on this. She expected me to become outraged and demand she take off immediately. If there was ever a point where I hit rock bottom in my desperation to escape my problems, it was now. I had become so desperate to buck somepony and get lost in that addicting sexual bliss that made me forget everything that I would even use the very thing I hated to escape it.

“O-Okay...” The unicorn replied finally after a few brief moments as she slowly turned around, lifted her tail, and braced herself. “May as well enjoy the ride, I asked for it.” Twilight remarked under her breath in annoyance unheard to the Pegasus.

The Pegasus attempted to mount the unicorn three times failing the first two and finally hitting her mark on the third attempt at which point a wave of pleasurable sensations surged through Scootaloo and Twilight's bodies causing her and Twilight to moan out nearly in unison.

I knew exactly what to do now, though I did my best not to remember the details of how I knew.

Scootaloo began to thrust into the lavender unicorn's slit feeling it squeeze around her shaft like a tight glove with each thrust. She soon had picked up a rhythm now as her balls slapped against the unicorn's cunt each time she thrust herself into her.

“Scootaloo, dear Celestia, mmph!” Twilight moaned out as her hooves scrambled to cling onto something and eventually found a book which she squeezed as hard as she could.

With each and every thrust the Pegasus felt her cock being squeezed and milked by the lavender unicorn's love tunnel sending waves of pleasure surging through her body. “Dang Twilight, I thought you were a virgin.” Scootaloo jeered between moans as she continued to buck against Twilight's slit which was emitting loud sloppy squelching sounds followed by wet slapping sounds each time her balls slapped against the unicorn's hindquarters.

“Are you, uh, kidding me? Big Macintosh made sure I wasn't the day I came to Ponyville.” Twilight moaned out without meaning too and went wide-eyed with a beat red blush.

I always knew Big Macintosh was a stud,, but to score Twilight the first day in town? Now that was something I didn't count on.

“So Big Macintosh is quite the stud eh? Surprised you didn't get knocked up by him.” Scootaloo joked with a smirk.

“No, but Applejack did...! oh horseapples, I wasn't supposed to say that!” Twilight exclaimed between moans.

And I thought she had loose lips when she wasn't having sex. Well that explains how Applebloom came about, looking back, I wonder if I should tell her sometime...

“Speaking of knocking ponies up, this little magic trick of yours won't cause me any problems will it?” Scootaloo asked curiously between grunts as the pleasure in her body mounted even more growing closer and closer to it's limit.

“N-No, uh, your sterile, magic can't,uh, replicate, uh, oh just buck me harder Scootaloo!” The unicorn nearly screamed as her hooves continued to grind against the book she was holding now.

Scootaloo happily obliged to the unicorn's request and began to slam herself as hard as she could into Twilight's cunt which was now leaking as if somepony had turned on the tap and forgot to shut it off.

With each thrust she would pull herself nearly completely out of the unicorn then buck forward earning a sharp pleasured cry from the lavender filly. “So close...mmph!” Twilight exclaimed as she let go of the book, reached under herself, and began to furiously rub her clit with her right hoof.

“I'm not even close.” Scootaloo replied with a smirk as she continued to slam her balls against the unicorn's mound picking up a slightly quicker pace now.

“G-Good, because after I cum, I want it up my other hole.” Twilight managed out between moans as her body shuddered in wake of the waves of pleasure pushing her closer and closer to her climax which seemed to be moments away.

“Other hole?” The Pegasus questioned with a confused expression until she caught on. “But don't you like, take a dump from there?” Scootaloo asked with a slightly disgusted expression now.

Y-you wanted to do this, mmph, so we, uh, do it, my waaaaa-!” Twilight began to say only for her climax to cut her off as her body seized up, pussy clamped down on Scootaloo's cock like a vice, and began to spasm and gush her filly juices out which flooded over the Pegasus's member and onto the floor as if the flood gates had been opened inside the filly while she gave a high pitched orgasmic cry.

Twilight panted softly tongue hanging out as Scootaloo continued to thrust into her only for unicorn to move away limply and fall onto her underside still not fully recovered from her orgasm. “Okay...in here...now.” Twilight said between pants as she tapped a hoof just above her anus.

To be honest, I wasn't to keen on the idea of putting something of mine, if it was temporary, into a hole where ponies take a dump from, but I wasn't about to argue with her since I didn't want to pleasure to stop.

The Pegasus timidly aligned her member with Twilight's rump and began to attempt to edge herself inside only to earned a pained cry from the unicorn. “Not so fast! Edge it in slowly Scootaloo. Also, I’m afraid I can't stand up right now, so you're going to have to make do.” Twilight remarked aloud though she did her best to raise her rump a little higher for the filly.

The orange Pegasus heeded Twilight's words and slowly slid herself in, pushing an inch at a time inside. With each inch that made it's way into the unicorn's ass, she gave a pleasurable moan until Scootaloo was completely buried inside her. “Okay, give this pony's rump a beating.” Twilight uttered out lustfully with a smirk as she turned to look at the Pegasus.

To my shock and surprise, her rump was tighter than her candy prize. It squeezed my new addition so tightly that is sent my senses into overload and nearly came on the spot the moment I attempted to pull back for my initial thrust. I held on somehow though.

Scootaloo quickly began to pick up a fast paced rhythm now with each thrust causing the unicorn's ass to jiggle slightly each time her balls slapped against Twilight's rump. “Dear Celestia! Slap my rump Scootaloo, please!” Twilight exclaimed between moans as her hooves began to grind against the floor searching for the book she held onto so firmly earlier.

“O-Okay.” The Pegasus replied unsure and raised her right hoof and gave the unicorn's rump a swift and firm slap which caused Twilight to give a pleasured cry.

“Again, slap it again!” Twilight exclaimed lustfully as a puddle began to form just under her slit while the Pegasus continued to slam her cock in and out of the unicorn's rump.

And I thought I was kinky with Rainbow Dash when I called her a foal fiddler...

Scootaloo quickly lifted her right hoof up again and gave the unicorn's right buttock another swift slap earning another shrill pleasured cry from the unicorn.

“Oh yeah! Punish me for being a foal fiddler!” Twilight exclaimed as she reach under herself once again and began to shove her hoof in and out of her slit.

Punish her? Geez, what kind of books have you been reading Twilight?!

Scootaloo obliged to the unicorn's request and once again slapped her hindquarters hard her with her right hoof. A few more swats later and a impact of the Pegasus's hoof could soon be visible on her rump but Twilight didn't seem to care. With one more slap the unicorn gave a orgamic cry as she came once more still thrusting her hoof inside her slit as it gushed it's filly juices all over the library floor. All the while Scootaloo's member was feeling as if it was ready to burst very soon.

“Twilight, I'm getting really close.” Scootaloo remarked between moans.

“G-Good. Let me finish you off.” Twilight replied between pants, abruptly pulled herself off Scootaloo much to her dismay and looked stared at the Pegasus's twitching member.

“Are you going to suck it?” Scootaloo asked curiously.

“After it's been in my rump? No way in Tartarus, but I’ll do the next best thing.” Twilight replied with a smirk as she began to focus magic into her horn and Scootaloo's member soon found itself wrapped in a purple magical aura which began to massage her throbbing appendage sending waves of pleasure through her body.

“That feels amazing...” Scootaloo moaned out as she sat onto her rump supporting herself with her front hooves a few inches behind her as she moaned out.

“Just let me know when you're about to cum, I’ll really speed it up then, plus I want to avoid getting any of your milk on my books.” Twilight remarked with a smirk as she rested her head on her front hooves smiling at the filly as her magic did the work.

It didn't take very long for the Pegasus to get to the brink as she felt her cock ready to explode. “I'm about to cum Twilight!” The filly exclaimed at which point she suddenly felt Twilight's magic pick up a huge pace as if it was jerking her off at a fast pace now.

“Where's that glorious cumshot? Don't make me wait!” Twilight exclaimed eagerly as she loomed her face just over the tip of Scootaloo's cock.

If I had any of my wits about me right now, I would have seriously questioned Twilight's book reading habits right now.

With a mighty grunt and moan Scootaloo member exploded with a wad of colt milk which splattered against Twilight's face as she haphazardly attempted to catch whatever she could in her mouth. One shot...two shots...three shots...four streams of colt milk spurted forth from the filly's cock until it gave one last feeble squirt which dribbled from the tip of her member and down the side of it.

A brief fifteen minutes later and Scootaloo was back to her old self, cockless. “So Scootaloo, was it worth it?” Twilight asked with a serious expression.

“What do you mean?” The filly asked with a confused expression.

“Was getting me in bed worth betraying Rarity's love for you? I had honestly figured you would have come to your senses when I gave you the one thing I knew you hated. But I wasn't about to back down on an offer if you were still willing, after all, I’m not the one your hurting.” Twilight replied with a saddened expression.

Twilight first sentence stuck me like a knife to the gut, and everything she said that followed twisted this proverbial knife. What had I become? What the buck was I doing?!

“I-I-I....” Scootaloo stuttered now as her conscience which she had buried deep in the back of her mind came crashing forward and began to beat the tar out of her for each and every action she had made the last month and a half. “I've cheated on Rarity...I've-I can't believe I-” The Pegasus rambled on until she literally retched all over Twilight's floor completely sick to her stomach with the very thought of her actions here tonight and the last month and a half.

The very problem I had been running away from, the very thing I didn't want to face, the fear that I may lose Rarity, was now rearing it's ugly head before me now and what's worse is that fact that it was my fault. If I had only cut things off with my idol to begin with, this would not have happened. Yet there in lies the conflict that up till now I avoided. Sleeping with Rainbow Dash was one thing, but with Twilight? A pony who was nothing more than a friend till now.

“I see you've finally come to your senses. Kind of sad that it took screwing me to get it through your thick skull to care about things again.” Twilight remarked morbidly as she looked at Scootaloo whom was still catching her breath.

“Sh-Shut it Tw-Twilight, you have no idea what I’m going through right now.” The Pegasus retorted between pants.

“Oh I’m sorry, is reality too cruel for you? News flash Scootaloo, there are consequences for everything you do! You can't just go and do what you've been doing without some kind of consequence!” Twilight exclaimed with a glare at the Pegasus.

“I-I know that. Please don't tell Rarity what we did here. I don't want to lose her.” Scootaloo replied as tears began to swell in her eyes.

Twilight's glare softened into a supportive smile as she wrapped her hooves around the Pegasus. “Don't worry, I won't say a word. Though you hit a bump or two on the way, my plan did work.” Twilight remarked with a smile as she broke the hug and looked at the filly.

“P-Plan? You mean this was all a test?” Scootaloo asked looking at the unicorn in shock now.

“Well, up till now you were failing it, but yes, it was a test, though the sex was sort of spur of the moment. I didn't expect you to actually go through with it like I said earlier.” The unicorn replied as she stood up and gave a pained yelp. “Speaking of which, my rump is going to be sore for the next week.” Twilight remarked as she rubbed her flank with a pained expression.

“Can we not talk about that please? I'm trying to forget it ever happened.” Scootaloo replied between sobs.

“Oh it happened alright, and I certainly hope it haunts you for a long time. Let it be a reminder not to try and run away from your problems. Make a choice Scootaloo, Rarity or Rainbow Dash. If you don't choose soon, I'll chose for you.” Twilight replied sternly only to give an abrupt pained yelp as she stood a step forward followed by several more muffled yelps as she walked away.

While her words felt cruel and unfeeling to me at the time, they did have an impact on me. I had to make a choice, a choice I would not be able to make easily.

But I had a plan, though first I had an apology to make. A friend who up till now, I treated like dirt, I was determined to make it up to her.

Sorry Rarity, but I may have to hurt you one last time.

I just hope you can forgive me...

THE DIARIES OF A MAD PEGASUS

PART 9

PRESENT DAY...

Scootaloo stared at an abandoned house on the outskirts of Canterlot and sighed. “How long has it been since I've been here? Two maybe three years? Things were a whole lot better back then...” The filly remarked as she pushed the door open which creaked open noisily as Scootaloo walked through the doorway and into the house and looked about the front room which had furniture covered in dust and cobwebs.

I had the perfect family back then, a non-alcoholic mother, a loving father. I still remember the pancakes she would make ever morning for me and dad.

Scootaloo timidly walked up the stairs, each step creaking and moaning loudly with each step until she reached the head of the stairs, walked down the hall a few feet and gently pushed open a door to the left which swung limply and slammed against the side of the wall.

The entire room was painted and decorated for a young filly, the walls were a bright pink, a small heart-shaped bed with velvet red covers, and a large collection of small plushies and dolls littered one corner of the room.

My old room, I was such a filly-foal back then. My favorite doll out of my entire collection was my princess pretty-pants doll. I threw such a tantrum when I was forced to leave it behind. It was only supposed to be temporary, our stay in Ponyville. That's what my father said anyways, he said that his current job didn't want him anymore so we had to move to Ponyville for a little while.

I don't know what exactly happened, only that my mom and dad got into a huge argument one day. I heard something about “We can't afford to move back there!” and “The property taxes are too high!” and something to the degree of “I won't let them accuse me of such things!” in the mists of shouts between the two one night when I was supposed to be sleeping. My mother began drinking shortly after that night and she got worse and worse...

The Pegasus turned around, walked down the hall a little more, and opened the door which revealed a bright blue painted room with a large bed in the middle of the room, a night table just a little to the right of it, and vanity desk to the left.

It was here the horrors of my past truly began but they didn't become nearly as bad until we moved to Ponyville. My father started out small with me, asking me to touch him in places that didn't feel right, and even touching me. I eventually got used to it and thought it was actually fun. A secret game between me and my father.

Of course once we moved to Ponyville and I got older and much wiser thanks to Cheerilee's teachings, I made the mistake of telling my father “No.” one night. That's when he stopped being nice to me and began to do things to me that left me scarred for life, horrified to come home, and praying he wasn't there that night.

“I will never regret killing that monster, after everything he did to me...” Scootaloo remarked aloud in loathing tone as she closed the door, walked back down to her room, jumped on her bed, and slipped off into an uneasy slumber.

ONE WEEK AGO...

I think the phrase comes to mind “The worst things that have come to pass have been paved with the best intentions” with what happened today.

Twilight had announced that the spell to turn everypony back to their adult ages was ready and had called Rarity over, though looking back I think she had forgotten to contact Cheerilee since the next time I saw her, she was still a filly.

I decided if there was one time to apologize to her, it would be at Rarity's, it was up to Applebloom whether or not things went farther than that.

“If ya brought me over here to buck, ah'm walkin out that door.” Applebloom remarked sourly as the two walked inside.

“No, that's not it at all. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. Sorry for tempting you, sorry for treating you like fresh flank, sorry for everything.” Scootaloo said as she sat down and sighed heavily.

“What's brought all this on all the sudden? Not that ah'm not happy you've come to your senses, but what caused ya to wake up and smell the apple's burnin?” The farm pony asked curiously.

“I got a hard dose or reality pounded into me and Twilight's got the sore rump to prove it.” Scootaloo replied with a smirk as if to lighten the mood.

I may or may not have phrased that the wrong way...

“Ah'm afraid to ask how.” Applebloom asked with a smirk as she sat down next to the Pegasus.

“Don't. It's already haunting me enough as it is.” The Pegasus replied as she looked at her best friend who looked back.

“So why bring meh here then? Couldn't ya have said all this on the farm?” The farm pony asked curiously looking at Scootaloo with an expression to match her tone of voice.

“Well, um, remember what you said a month ago? About me and you doing it wouldn't mean anything?” Scootaloo asked nervously.

Upon hearing this the farm pony's expression become annoyed. “If this is all an act to try and lend meh in bed Scootaloo...” Applebloom warned with a glare.

“It's not I swear! I'm back to my old self again I promise! It's just that I treated you like dirt and wanted to make it up to you. To help you find out if you are really lesbian, ya know?” Scootaloo replied defensively as she waved her hooves semi-frantically as she began to speak and placed them flatly in front of her as she spoke her last sentence.

“Well, ah appreciate the offer Scootaloo, but ah'm gonna have to respectfully decline that thar offer.” Applebloom replied as she eyed the Pegasus suspiciously.

“Fair enough. Just thought I'd offer.” The Pegasus replied nonchalantly.

Applebloom's expression became one of surprise upon hearing this looking at the Pegasus in disbelief. “Wait, that's it? No witty flirtatious remarks? No tryin to tempt meh?”

“I told you Applebloom, I'm back to my old self. So what do you wanna do now?” Scootaloo asked with a smile as she hopped up and walked about the room. “I was thinking we could try something new to get our cutie-marks, like holding our breath for the longest time or maybe helping Applejack with Apple-bucking.” The Pegasus said excitedly until her eyes fell upon Applebloom whom was on the verge of tears.

What in the name of Luna did I do wrong NOW?

“I'm so happy ya is back to your old self again. Ah spent the last month and a half with barely a wink worrin that mah best friend might be so far gone that ah couldn't save her.” The farm pony choked as she did her best to hold back the tears of joy.

Wow, she really does care about me... This makes me feel all the more like a mule for treating her like I did. I pretty much toyed with her emotions. It must have been torture for her.

“I really did hurt you, didn't I?” Scootaloo asked with a frown as she walked up to the farm pony and placed a hoof on her shoulder.

“Yeah, ya did. But it's all better now cause you are yourself again. Sorry for getting all teary on ya.” Applebloom replied allowing a smile to wash over her face as she wiped the tears from her eyes with a soft sniffle.

It was now that I began to wonder if she wasn't just faking the whole “wondering if she was lesbian” thing and using that as a cover to hide her true feelings for me.

“Applebloom, is there something you aren't telling me?” The Pegasus asked curiously as she eyed her friend's expression.

“Eee-nope! I'm alright now, ah swear. But ah think we should be puttin off tryin to discover our special talents till Sweetie Belle comes back.” The farm pony replied as she hopped to all four hooves and walked to the front door.

I wasn't convinced, but I didn't look into it too much at the time though.

PRESENT DAY...

“It's your fault this happened you know!” Rarity exclaimed drunkenly as Rainbow Dash walked into Rarity's home.

“My fault?! How in the hay was I supposed to know you and her were dating?! As far as I knew, she was with me and me only!” Rainbow Dash countered with a glare.

“Oh sure you didn't, you just wanted to steal her away, didn't you?!” Rarity roared as she chucked the bottle at the cyan blue Pegasus whom ducked to avoid being hit square in the nose with a half full bottle of apple cider.

“I could say the same thing about you!” Rainbow Dash roared back as she walked up to the drunken mare.

The white unicorn's eyes flared with anger upon hearing these words as she turned to glare back at the Pegasus. “What? What did you say?!” Rarity exclaimed her voice cracking as she spoke which bordered on a scream rather than a shout.

“What could she get from a drunken mare like you anyways? All you ever do according to her these days is drink!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed only to get a hoof to the face abruptly which sent her falling to the ground on her side with a bloody nose.

Rainbow Dash quickly recovered from the sucker punch, got to all four hooves, reared her hindquarters up, extended both wings out so that they were erect and stiff, and growled loudly at Rarity. “Oh, you wanna do this the hard way? Then we'll do it the hard way!”

“What in Equestria is going on in here?!” A voice exclaimed from nowhere which caused both mares to snap their gazes to the front door to see Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle standing in the front door.

“This, This, This... mare-scared poor Scootaloo into running away!” Rarity exclaimed pointing a hoof at the cyan blue Pegasus.

Rainbow Dash immediately batted the hoof down and pointed one back at her. “No, it was her to who scared Scootaloo away!”

“Wait, what happened to Scootaloo?! Where is she?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed worried as she began to look about the room.

“If only that train hadn't had engine problems, we could have gotten here sooner.” Cheerilee remarked to herself with a sigh before walking up to the two mares.

“Why don't you one of you start from the beginning. And then we'll take things from here.” Cheerilee said as calmly as she could despite the fact that both mares were causing her nerves to stand on end.

“Fine, I'll tell the story since Rarity is in no state to make a proper sentence.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied to which Rarity put her nose in the air with a audible”Humph!” before she levitated another bottle of apple cider to her mouth and began to guzzle it.

TWO DAYS AGO...

It was about two days ago, when I was on a date with Scootaloo...

I thought something was weird about how she was acting but I didn't know what was going on. I just thought she was nervous about her first date with me.

“You know you can talk to me about anything right?” The cyan blue Pegasus replied as she reached a crossed the table and placed her hooves over the filly's which caused her to stare back at her.

“Yeah, I know. Listen, I um, need to use the little filly's room, I'll be back in a few minutes.” Scootaloo replied, stood up, and dove down towards the restrooms, and soon disappeared from sight to the cyan blue Pegasus.

I thought it was odd that she had been sitting there with for less than five minutes without eating or drinking anything yet that she had to use the restroom, but hey who was I to question when nature called?

“Your food madams, erm, madam?” The waiter pony remarked with a confused expression as he noticed the empty seat.

“Oh she'll be back, she's just using the little filly's room.” Rainbow Dash said nonchalantly as she attempted to lift up a fork with her hoof only for it to slip off and fall to the table.

“Ahem, that's what the fork holder's are for madam.” The waiter pony remarked as he motioned towards a small object on the table shaped like a hoof ring with a small slot on the side of it which was big enough to hold the handle end of the silverware.

“Right, eh-heh, silly me.” Rainbow Dash replied embarrassed by her lack of class in an obviously classy restaurant.

“If you need anything else madam, please don't hesitate to ask.” The waiter pony stated with a short bow before he took off and down to the floor seats.

Rainbow Dash looked at the clock after a few more minutes had passed. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...where the hay was that filly?! Just when Rainbow Dash was about to go look for her however, the filly suddenly appeared, landed on the cloud, and sat in her seat.

“Where the hay have you been kid? Your food's getting cold.” Rainbow Dash remarked as she pointed a hoof at the filly's food tray.

“Oh yeah, heh, sorry bout that, I'm actually not really that hungry now.” Scootaloo remarked nervously as she stared at her idol.

The cyan blue Pegasus raised her eyebrow in curosity and concern upon hearing this as she looked at Scootaloo. “Not hungry? You can't be serious, you haven't had anything to eat since this morning. I get that your nervous about your first date with me kid, heck, so am I, but don't let that kill your appetite.” Rainbow Dash replied enthusiastically as she nudged the plate towards the filly.

“R-Right. Nervous, heh...” Scootaloo replied giving the best smile she could muster.

Something was seriously worrying her right now, like she was scared of something. I could tell just by looking at her that she was on the verge of shaking. I wanted to know what she was hiding from me, but I knew better than to ask. She has been secretive with me ever since a few weeks ago when she told me she came to her senses and realized what a idiot she'd been.

AN AWKWARD TEN MINUTES LATER...

“I uh, need to, um, use the little filly's room again.” Scootaloo said with a nervous smile.

“Really? Well we can go together then, cause I gotta go myself.” Rainbow Dash replied with a smile as she stood up from her seat as well.

The expression she wore on her face up till now had been nervous, but for a fleeting moment, I saw panic fill her facial features before she managed to mask it with the same nervous smile.

“Y-You sure you have to go? I'm not a baby foal, I can use the restroom on my own ya know.” Scootaloo replied nervously.

“Yep, totally sure, in fact I think my bladder will explode if we don't get there soon, so lets get going.” Rainbow Dash as she gave the filly a playful swat on the tail before taking off towards the restrooms followed by panic stricken Scootaloo who unknown to Rainbow Dash, was constantly looking over at the seat that Rarity sat at making sure she wasn't looking in their general direction.

Once at the restrooms, the cyan blue Pegasus took note of Scootaloo's nervous glances in the direction of the floor seats and noticed Rarity sitting at once of the tables alone. “Oh hey, Rarity's here. Maybe we should go say hi after we get done using the restroom.” Rainbow Dash suggested causally as she opened the door.

Upon hearing this, Scootaloo's nervous smile turned to sheer panic as she rushed in front of her idol. “No! I-I mean, she said that she had plans with a special somepony today and didn't want to be disturbed. Heh, Heh, you know Rarity, up tight and don't like ponies like ourselves crapping her style.” The filly said nervously as she feigned a laugh.

If was wasn't suspicious of Scootaloo's behavior before, I sure as hay was now. Just what was she hiding and did it have to do with Rarity?

“Okay kid, whatever you say.” Rainbow Dash replied feeling unsettled by the filly's actions as she closed the restroom door behind her.

“Whew...” Rainbow Dash elated as she emptied the contents of her bladder into the stall's urinal only to hear the restroom door open again.

“Scootaloo, are you in here?” A voice asked which could belong to non-other than Rarity.

Wait, why would Rarity be looking for Scootaloo HERE? Isn't she on a date with a special somepony? And how would she of known the kid was here in the first place?
Rainbow Dash finished her business, quickly grabbed a piece of toilet paper, cleaned herself proper, and curiously opened the stall door to greet the unicorn.

“Hey, Rarity. Why are you looking for Scootaloo for?” The cyan blue Pegasus asked curiously which caused Rarity to look at her nervously.

“Oh, um, heh, well, you see...” Rarity replied unable to make a proper sentence and trailed off until her eyes lit up in curiosity as well. “Wait, are you looking for Scootaloo as well?” The unicorn asked curiously as she eyed the cyan blue Pegasus.

“No, she came here with me. We are here on a-a-a....” It was Rainbow Dash's turn to become nervous now as she trailed off herself.

“A what? And why did she come to the restroom with you? She was here with me. We came here together for...” Rarity questioned at first but trailed off herself once again unable to say the words that came to mind next.

“Wait a second, what the hay is going on here? She came here to meet me I thought.” Rainbow Dash replied feeling herself become more and more confused by the second with the current circumstances.

“And why prey tell would she come here to meet with you?” Rarity asked giving the cyan blue Pegasus a suspicions look as she spoke.

“Um, hey Rarity, hey Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo's voice pipped up timidly from behind a stall as it opened up slowly and the filly timidly stepped out to face the two.

“What the hay is going on here kid? I thought you came here to hang out with me on a da-da-da-da..uh, erm...” Rainbow Dash began to ask curiously only for her to choke on her own words.

“A da-da-da?” Rarity asked looking more suspicious of the cyan blue Pegasus than before.

“Y-Yeah, um, well...” Rainbow Dash replied with her ears flattened unable to figure out a way to explain her way out of this one.

“That da-da-da wouldn't by chance be short for date by chance would it?” Rarity asked as she narrowed her eyes at Rainbow Dash.

Well buck. I was found out. Guess I may as well come clean...

“Y-yeah. I met Scootaloo here for a date, what's it to you? You gonna judge me?” Rainbow Dash replied heatedly though trying to sound cool at the same time as she spoke.

“But she came here on a date with me!” Rarity exclaimed and slapped her front hooves over her mouth with a panicked expression as if she had said something she hadn't meant to.

Wait, WHAT?!

“Hold the hay on here, she's on a date with me, not you!” The cyan blue Pegasus countered completely throwing all her insecurities and nervousness aside now in light of this seemingly outrageous statement by the unicorn.

“Clearly something is amiss, Scootaloo, what in the name of all things fashion is going on here?” Rarity asked as she switched her gaze to the orange Pegasus who simply stared at the two like a frozen statue with an expression of pure panic.

“I-I-I, well, I, um, I...” The filly attempted to speak but her words made all but no sense as if she couldn't muster a complete sentence right now.

“After all we've been dating for nearly three months now and I would like to know what is going on.” Rarity added shortly after the filly's incomprehensible sentence.

“Three months? She's been dating me for half a freaking year!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed outraged by this seemingly false statement by the unicorn.

“Well, if what Twilight tells me is true, I suppose if you include the time we spent in that alternate dimension of hers, we've been dating for nearly twenty years.” Rarity contested turning her gaze back to the cyan blue Pegasus.

“Alternate what-now? You expect me to believe that load of horseapples? You adopted her for Celestia's sake, why in Equestria would you bother to date her?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed contentiously.

“Well clearly, she's been dating both of us for sometime, but the question is why?” Rarity retorted with a glare.

“It's obvious isn't it? She clearly wanted to see which of us is the better mare for her. She of course is going to choose me, right kid?” Rainbow Dash replied egoistically as she looked at the filly.

“As if she would choose a ruffian such as yourself. Isn't that right darling?” Rarity replied with snooty-like as she turned to look at the filly whom was now shaking like a rattlesnake tail as she stood there.

Scootaloo seemed to be stuttering and struggling for words as her gaze shifted back and forth between Rarity and her idol. “I-I-I-I-I can't decide!” The filly screamed as she slammed her eyes shut and darted between the two sobbing loudly as she ran strait out of the restaurant front and took off to the skies.

PRESENT DAY...

Cheerilee slapped a hoof on her forehead with her eyes closed with an expression of disbelief. “Wait, wait, wait, you two put her on the spot?!” The dark purple filly exclaimed as her eyes flared wide with a sense of fury and shock in them.

Upon hearing this both mare's ears flattened and began to shuffle at the floor with their respective right hooves shamefully. “I guess we kinda did...” Rainbow Dash remarked guiltily.

INSIDE SCOOTALOO'S OLD HOUSE...

Scootaloo shifted in her bed uncomfortably, sat up, and looked out the window to see the moon still high in the skies. “Can't they understand that it's too much for me to decide? I'm only a filly for Luna's sake! I can't help it if I love them both...” Scootaloo exclaimed out as fresh tears flowed from her eyes now as the memories of two days ago seemed to pummel her mind without remorse.

Scootaloo, where are you?!

SCOOTALOO,WHERE ARE YOU?!

“And neither of you attempted to follow her?” Cheerilee asked incredulously looking as if she was ready to beat the tar of the both of them.

“I wasn't exactly in any state to follow her at the time.” Rarity replied as she eyed her bottle of apple cider and sighed.

“She darted out of the restaurant so fast that by the time I got through the crowded line to that place, she was out of sight.” Rainbow Dash chimed in and stomped a hoof on the ground. “This would never have happened if Rarity hadn't been dating her.” The cyan blue Pegasus remarked sourly which caused Rarity to nearly choke on her bottle of cider and glare at her.

“My fault?! If a ruffian such as you never laid a hoof on her, then we wouldn't be in this predicament!” Rarity countered at which point the two began to grind their heads against one another in some kind of headbutting contest.

“Enough! Both of you! You both are adult mares for Celestia's sake, start acting like it!” Cheerilee exclaimed at which point the two abruptly stopped butting heads and stared at her guiltily.

Rarity's expression however looked confused as she stared at Cheerilee. “Where's Sweetie Belle?” The unicorn asked curiously which prompted Cheerilee to look about her surroundings and notice the filly was no longer there.

“Sweetie Belle? Where are you? This isn't funny!” Cheerilee exclaimed as she looked about her surroundings more and more frantically by the second. “Sweetie Belle?!” Cheerilee exclaimed frantically as she looked about the house now.

SWEETIE BELLE!

Cheerilee's voiced seemed to echo a crossed the town as the unicorn filly rushed through it using her magic to teleport herself short distances to make sure the others couldn't catch up with her as she ran towards the one place she knew of that Scootaloo would go to. “I'll go get Applebloom, find her, and convince her to come back, she'll listen to us, I know she will. I just hope I can remember where she said the house was...” Sweetie Belle remarked loud worriedly as she ran through the night as the cold winds whipped against her mercilessly.

However as she used her magic to teleport just on the outskirts of the apple family farm, she reappeared looking charred and dazed as she swayed back and forth. “Okay...I need to lay off the ma-ma-giiick....ohhh...” Sweetie Belle remarked in a dazed comical tone as she fell to the ground comically for a moment before she got back to all four hooves and resumed running.

At this rate I’ll get my cutie-mark in being a pyromaniac....

“We have to find her! I'll go get Twilight. She can track Sweetie Belle with her magic and maybe she can find Scootaloo as well!” Cheerilee exclaimed as she rushed towards the door only for Rainbow Dash to land in front of her.

“I'll be able to find her in a jiffy, she can't use magic properly still right?” Rainbow Dash asked with a smile which was met with a nervous smile by the earth pony.

“Over the course of the last three months I've been teaching her the basics of teleportation and levitation. She caught on quite quickly, but she still has a tendency to set things on fire and char herself at times still.” Cheerilee replied semi-proudly which was met with a facehoofing gesture from the cyan blue Pegasus.

“Fine, get Twilight. The less ponies to know about this, the better. Me and Rarity will search by ground and air while you two look around in other directions.” Rainbow Dash replied to which Cheerilee nodded though with an unsure glance at the idea and quickly left the house.

“Humph, if you think I'm going to team up with the likes of you, you're even crazier than I thought!” Rarity exclaimed with a glare.

“Now is not the time to be fighting over who gets Scootaloo, okay? We can sort this whole thing out after we find your little sister and Scootaloo. So quick drinking yourself stupid and help me find them! Or are you so far gone that you no longer care about your little sister and Scootaloo?” Rainbow Dash replied with a glare at the unicorn.

The unicorn stared at Rainbow Dash for a few moments longer before she looked at the bottle of apple cider which she was levitating in front of her. She then narrowed her eyes at the bottle, turned it upside down, and emptied the contents of it onto the floor before letting it drop with a clatter. “You're right. We can settle this later, right now my little sister and Scootaloo need me.” Rarity said with a sense of determination in her eyes as she ran towards Rainbow Dash only to halt, turn about face and stare at the puddle of apple cider on the floor. “Oh goodness, that's going to stain my beautiful carpet!” The unicorn exclaimed looking horrified by the very idea of her floor being defiled.

“Rarity!” Rainbow Dash exasperated.

“Oh right, let's go!” The unicorn replied as she turned around to follow the cyan blue Pegasus out the door though unknown to the Pegasus was cringing at the thought of coming back to a horrible stain in her carpet.

“Where do we even begin looking? My head!” Rarity exclaimed as she cringed with each painful throbbing to her skull as the effects of the alcohol were finally wearing off hours later.

“We've searched most of Ponyville by now and haven't found either of them. Twilight and Cheerilee are checking the Everfree forest right now, there's only one more place I can think of to look.” Rainbow Dash replied as she hovered just above Rarity and guided her to a home on the edge of Ponyville.

“Oh you can't be serious. Why would she know?” Rarity asked with an annoyed expression as the sight of a familiar house soon come into view.

“She's her birth mother, if anypony might know where she would go, it would be her.” Rainbow Dash replied as she landed on the ground and walked up to the porch.

“Just because one gives birth to a foal, does not mean they know their foal.” Rarity remarked snooty-like.

“It's worth a shot at the very least.” Rainbow dash replied before she turned her attention to the drunken mare and shook her gently. “Hey, I need to ask you something, you awake?” Rainbow Dash asked as she shook the mare who's eyes slid open and stared at her.

“Wh-what do you want? Can't a mare rest in peace?” The mare asked though she was barely understandable as she spoke.

“Rainbow, something is very off about her, I’ve seen her drunk, but she's acting worse than usual.” Rarity questioned with a worried glance as she stepped up to the mare whom stared at her now.

The mare's eyes seemed to be dilating at an infrequent rate as she stared at Rarity. “Y-you, you took her away from me!” The mare exclaimed as she stood upright, pushed Rainbow Dash away and stumbled her way to the unicorn before she literally fell to the ground in front of her.

“This is you in ten years Rarity.” Rainbow Dash remarked morbidly which caused the unicorn to stare at Rainbow Dash for a brief moment then back to the drunken mare in front of her.

“L-Listen, we need to ask you something, Scootaloo has gone missing. We need to know where she might go that might make her feel safe.” Rarity asked attempting to shake off the horrifying images of herself in this very state ten years from now.

“Scootaloo...erm..gurg...missing?” The mare remarked aloud looking barely conscious at this point.

“Yes. Do you have any idea where she might go?” Rarity asked once again while something caught the cyan blue Pegasus's eye on the porch next to countless bottles of cider.

“A pill bottle?” Rainbow Dash remarked curiously as she lifted the bottle up and read the label.

The pill bottle read:

Luna's sleeping aid

A peaceful sleep guaranteed!

Take two every night.

“It's empty...” Rainbow Dash remarked aloud curiously until her eyes widened in horror as she snapped her gaze to the mare.

“House....near...Canterlot...home was...” The mare began say until her eyes rolled into the back of her head.

“Rarity, she's committing suicide! This whole pill bottle is empty and I bet fifty bits she downed the entire bottle barely five minutes ago!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she took off from the ground, yanked the mare off the ground, and took off the to skies. “Go find Scootaloo, I gotta get her to the hospital now!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed and moments later was out of sight having flown so fast.

“That's me...ten years from now?” Rarity remarked aloud looking completely horrified now. “Is that really what I will end up doing? Drinking myself to death?” The unicorn asked aloud as she stared at the very last spot she saw the mare in before Rainbow Dash had carried her off.

I know I'm an absolute mess right now, but would I really go that far down?

---------------------------------------------------

ONE DAY LATER...

A loud pounding on the door snapped Scootaloo out of an uneasy slumber. “Who in Equestria would think to look for me here?” Scootaloo asked aloud as she walked down the stairs, looked out the window just beside her front door, gasped in shock, rushed to the front door and flung it open which revealed Applebloom in a winter coat carrying an unconscious charred Sweetie Belle as a winter storm raged behind them while the farm pony carried Sweetie Belle in.

“What happened to her?!” Scootaloo exclaimed as the farm pony laid her down on the floor as she closed the door behind her.

“Ah'm not really sure, ah know she used that teleportation spell hers quite a bit on the way here, but it only left us a little charred, but just as we got here, she passed out on the spot. Ah think she might be sick. It's colder than mah teats after a dip in the lake on a winter's mornin out thar.” Applebloom replied as the Pegasus walked over and placed a hoof on Sweetie Belle's forehead.

“She's hot to the touch, I think she's got a serious fever going on here. This is bad.” Scootaloo remarked worriedly as she looked at Applebloom.

“Ah offered to give her mah coat along the way when the storm started to kick up but she just refused sayin that she didn't want to hurt meh with her magic, this coat bein fireproof and all.” Applebloom replied as she looked at Sweetie Belle whom coughed aloud and moaned afterword even though she was unconscious at the moment. “Are there any hospitals close by that we can take her too?”

“No, well, not as far as I know. The closest one I remember is fifty miles to the east in Canterlot. I don't have the skill of the stamina to carry another pony with me while I fly, let alone a sick one. By hoof, it would take us a week to get there.” Scootaloo remarked with yet another worried glance to Sweetie Belle.

“Could ya fly thar?” The farm pony suggested hopefully.

Upon hearing this the filly looked out the window at the winter storm that was waging outside. “Not in this stuff, I have no experience in flying during heavy weather. I'd likely be blown out of the sky.” Scootaloo remarked and sighed.

“Then what the hay are we gonna do for Sweetie Belle? She might die!” Applebloom exclaimed with a worried expression.

“Lets take her up to my old room.” Scootaloo said as she scooped the unicorn up and onto her back, walked up the stairs, laid her on the bed gently, and pulled her blankets over her. “I'll check my mom's first aid kit, she usually kept it in her room.”

The Pegasus quickly left the room, opened the door just down the hall, and began scanning every inch of the room for the first aid kit she spoke of. However the filly's efforts seemed to be in vain as she searched and searched yet found no trace of the medical supplies. “Oh come the buck on, throw me a apple here!” Scootaloo exclaimed looking to the ceiling as if shouting at an invisible character before she resumed her search.

Much to her delight, she found the box safely hidden in a dusty drawer of the vanity desk, picked it up with her mouth, carried it back to her room, opened the box up and began to scan the contents. “Is there anythin in thar that can get rid of a fever?” Applebloom asked as she ran a hoof along Sweetie Belle's forehead whom moaned softly in her sleep.

“Even if there is, we can only hope it's not expired or it's not gonna do squat to help her.” Scootaloo replied as she continued to scan the contents of the box until she found a small package labeled “Fever-treater”. “Hope this does the trick, Applebloom, grab a cup of water from pale in the kitchen.” Scootaloo instructed.

“Wait, this place don't even have plumbin?” Applebloom remarked with a shocked expression.

“This place has been abandoned for nearly three years Applebloom.” Scootaloo replied and sighed.

“How the hay have you been eatin then? If this place has no plumbin than ah reckon it has no food in it either.” Applebloom replied looking at the orange Pegasus with a worried expression now.

“I haven't. I was planning on seeing if I could find some apple trees out back that my father used to grow when I woke up in the morning, but this storm might make that hard.” Scootaloo replied as the farm pony left the room and came back shortly with a cup of water carefully balanced on her head.

“If those are what ah think they are, how we gonna make her swallow em?” Applebloom asked as the Pegasus popped open the lid to the package.

“The same way my father would force me swallow his, erm, never mind.” Scootaloo began to say but cut herself off mid-sentence as she shuddered violently at the memory.

“Okay, so avoidin the obvious question of how ya learned this, what do we need to do?” Applebloom asked as she caught on quickly to why the Pegasus cut herself off so abruptly.

“You need to plug her nose with something, a hoof or anything. By instinct, she'll open her mouth in order to breath, but if we block that off as well, she'll swallow whatever we put in her mouth in order to clear up her only air-way.” Scootaloo said matter-of-factually.

“Isn't that a might cruel?” Applebloom asked looking at her friend curiously.

“A little I guess, but since she's not in any state to take it herself, we have to do it for her. Now help me get her to take this.” The Pegasus instructed as she picked up a pill her her mouth so that it was held on the edge of her lips while Applebloom did as she was told and plugged Applebloom's nose up. Just as the Pegasus predicted, she took a sudden gasp of air from her mouth but made no signs of waking up.

Something else then came to mind that she knew she needed to warn her friend about which caused her to set the pill on the bed. “What the hay you waitin for? Hearths Warmin eve?” Applebloom exasperated as she struggled to maintain a grip on the unicorn's snout.

“There's something else you should know, when we block her mouth off, she might...struggle a little bit, but no matter what happens, you must keep your hoof on her nose until she swallows okay?” Scootaloo warned.

“O-Okay...” Applebloom replied though she looked more and more unsure about this idea by the second.

Forgive me Sweetie Belle, but this is the only way...

Scootaloo then leaned down, picked up the pill, dropped it into Sweetie Belle's mouth and immediately clamped her jaw shut with both hooves. No sooner she had done this, the unicorn began to flail frantically though she still made no motion of waking up.

“Come on Sweetie Belle, just swallow the consarned pill!” Applebloom exclaimed as she struggled to hold her grip on the filly's nose while at the same time Scootaloo struggled to hold her mouth closed.

A few more moments passed now and the unicorn was beginning to look blue in the face though she was still thrashing about in her sleep to get an ounce of air. “We're killin her! Ah'm gonna let go of her-” “No! Just a little longer Applebloom!” Scootaloo exclaimed cutting off the farm pony before she could finish her sentence all the while Sweetie Belle continued to thrash about.

Come on Sweetie Belle, swallow it! Please!

A few more moments past and the unicorn still had made no motion of swallowing the pill. Though her thrashing was beginning to slow down now. However, just as Scootaloo herself was about to let go, the filly made an audible gulping sound. “Okay let go!” Scootaloo exclaimed at which point both fillies let go simultaneously to which Sweetie Belle gave several sharp rapid gasps for life giving air before she finally began to calm down and breath normally again.

“Ah never want to do anythin like that again...” Applebloom remarked in a soft tone as she wiped tears from her eyes.

“Me neither...” The Pegasus agreed followed by a sigh.

As I looked at Sweetie Belle now it occurred to me, she was sick, she needed help, and we were trapped in a house with no food until this storm passed. To make matters worse, if I had never ran away, they wouldn't have come looking for me.

This is all my fault...

Rarity walked into the hospital waiting room now and sat next to Rainbow Dash whom was looking worse for ware. “Any luck on finding Scootaloo?” The cyan blue Pegasus asked curiously.

“No, and this storm doesn't make it any easier to find her either, hows Scootaloo's mother doing?” Rarity replied and sighed.

“No so good, the doctors were able to pump her stomach and stabilize her, but not even they can properly predict the damage at this point.” Rainbow Dash replied grimly and sighed herself.

“Applebloom has gone missing as well. Applejack told me so yesterday. She apparently disappeared on the same night that Sweetie Belle did.” Rarity replied and placed her hooves over her face as if to hold back a sob.

“Rarity?” A nurse pony asked as she walked up to the two.

“That's me.” The unicorn replied as she looked up at the nurse pony.

“Skydancer would like to speak with you and you alone.” The nurse pony replied.

“I understand.” Rarity replied and followed the nurse pony down the hall, turned to the left, and walked through a door on a right which revealed a pale mare in a hospital bed with an IV in one arm while a heart monitor beeped regularly just above her.

“I'll leave you two alone, but please make the visit brief, she needs her rest.” The nurse pony remarked before she left the room.

“You wanted to see me?” Rarity greeted timidly as she walked up to Skydancer whom turned to face her.

“You're the mare who adopted Scootaloo correct?” Skydancer asked though her voice was hoarse and rough as she spoke.

“Yes.” Rarity replied simply.

“I want to thank you for taking care of her.” Skydancer replied at which point Rarity felt a ping of guilt swell inside her.

“I know your just recovering, but do you remember what I asked before your...” Rarity began to ask only to trail off.

“I think so, but it's all a blur. Why haven't you contacted the police ponies yet?” Skydancer asked as she looked at Rarity.

“It's complicated, I can only ask that you tell no pony what's going on and trust me.” Rarity replied though she bit her lower lip after saying this.

“My foal is Celestia knows where in this storm and you want me to say nothing?” Skydancer asked incredulously flashing a glare at the unicorn.

“I know it's a lot to ask, but the less ponies who know about this, the better. I don't want to lose Scootaloo. She means the world to me, it's my fault she's out there in this. I have to be the one to find her, to tell her I'm sorry, for everything...” Rarity replied choking back tears as she wiped her nose with a sniff.

“You've done more for her in the last year than I have in the last ten years, I let her father rape and hurt her daily. I could hear the pained screams from my foal, crying out for me, but...” Skydancer began to say but trailed off as her right hoof and leg began to shake violently as she turned her gaze away from the unicorn. “I did nothing! I was too drunk beyond reason to care that my little filly, the one thing I did right in this world, was being tortured by the stallion I once trusted and loved!” Skydancer exclaimed as she slammed her hoof down on the bed and sobbed softly to herself. “And then like a knight in shining armor, you saved her from that monster. You did what I couldn't-no, what I wouldn't do.” Skydancer remarked as she turned to look at Rarity.

“We've all made mistakes that we regret. So I ask you Skydancer, please help me correct my own before I lose the one thing in this world that I can not lose. Where would Scootaloo go that would make her feel safe?” Rarity asked as she walked over to the bed and placed her hooves on Skydancer's quivering right hoof.

“You really can't tell me what's going on can you?” The Pegasus asked softly as she stared into Rarity's eyes as she shook her head silently while tears began to drip from her eyes and down her cheeks. “She's most likely at our old house on the outskirts of Canterlot. Follow the old path down past mareton road, and take a left at the sigh that reads, welcome to Canterlot plains. There's a house about twenty miles down the road. It's the one we used to live at before we moved to Ponyville.” Skydancer replied and sighed.

“Thank you.” Rarity replied only for the Pegasus to clasp both hooves around Rarity's.

“Promise me that if you don't find her there, you will tell the authorities. Please.” Skydancer asked as both her hooves shook as she stared at the unicorn whom nodded silently before she quickly left the hospital room.

“Rarity? What did she say?” Rainbow Dash asked as the unicorn walked past her towards the hospital doors.

“I know where they are, lets go.” Rarity replied simply before she turned around and walked out followed by the cyan blue Pegasus.

Author's Note

The story is coming to a close, but it's not quite there yet! This fic still has a few more in her!:)

The storm within

THE STORM WITHIN

“Rarity, this is suicide! We'll freeze to death before we find them at this rate!” Rainbow Dash shouted over the torrent of snow and wind that pelted at her face while her mane flailed wildly at the mercy of the wind as the two neared the edge of Ponyville.

“Then you can go back, I'm going to find Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle!” Rarity shouted back as she looked behind herself doing her best to keep her mane from flying into her mouth as she spoke.

“Rarity, look around you! We're in the middle of one of the biggest snowstorms in Equestrian history here! Not even the weather team of Pegasus in Cloudsdale could have predicted that their winter storm would turn out this bad!” Rainbow Dash shouted back.

“And Scootaloo may be in it! Tell me Rainbow Dash, do you love Scootaloo?” Rarity asked as she turned around to face the cyan blue Pegasus whom looked taken back by this question.

“Your asking me this now?! Of course I do, but I'm not stupid enough to freeze to death for her!” Rainbow Dash replied doing her best to shout over the torrents of wind and snow.

“And that is what makes me different from you Rainbow Dash. I'm willing to die for her. Clearly you can't say the same, so go home!” Rarity shouted back before she turned around and continued walking through the snow.

Rainbow Dash simply stood there and stared at the white unicorn in shock at her words as the wind and snow continued to pummel her mercilessly until Rarity soon vanished from sight. “Is that really the difference between us? Is Rarity's love for Scootaloo stronger than mine?” Rainbow Dash asked herself as she stared at the snow-covered ground.

I remember it all now...the love we shared, the pain, the laughs. Yet I do not quite know how I remembered all this. Maybe all the drinking I have been doing is really making me crazy, maybe the memories of me and Scootaloo in that alternate dimension are fake...

Even if they are, my love for Scootaloo is real.

Perhaps this is my divine punishment for falling in love with a foal in a way that is not considered right.

Perhaps the fates are testing my love for her.

No matter what the fates have in store for me, I will defy them and write my own fate.

A fate worthy of Rarity Unicorn!

Scootaloo reached a hoof over and placed on Sweetie Belle's forehead and gave a sigh of relief. “I think her fever is going down, she's not as hot as she was before.” Scootaloo remarked as she looked over at Applebloom whom looked relieved to hear the news.

“She's still sick though, ain't she?” Applebloom asked giving a concerned glance over at Sweetie Belle as she gave a mighty cough in her sleep followed by a soft moan.

“Yeah, not much we do for her without real medical help, but I think it's safe to leave her in here for now and get some sleep.” Scootaloo replied as she walked over to Applebloom and placed a hoof on her shoulder as she smiled at the farm pony.

“You expect meh to sleep at a time like this? What if somethin happens to her while we're sleepin? What if she gets worse? What if-” Applebloom began to say become more frantic with each question until Scootaloo gently placed a hoof over her mouth and giggled.

“You worry too much, you know that? She'll be fine for now.” The Pegasus remarked as she lowered her hoof and looked over at Sweetie Belle though her smile turned into a frown as she looked at her bedridden friend. “Tell ya what, we'll take turns keeping an eye on her, I'll make sure I wake up in a few hours, then I’ll wake you up in a few more hours. Sound fair?” Scootaloo suggested as she turned to look back at the farm pony.

“Okay, but um, where are we sleepin?” Applebloom asked curiously.

“My old parents room, follow me.” Scootaloo replied as she turned around and walked out of the room followed by the farm pony.

“Wow, that's a big bed.” Applebloom remarked looking surprised at the size of the mattress as the two entered the room.

“Yeah, but my parents filled it quite snugly.” Scootaloo remarked nonchalantly as she hopped onto it and pulled the blankets back.

“Bet ya they did more than sleep in that.” Applebloom remarked with a smirk as she hopped onto the bed herself.

“Thank you for that horrifying image Applebloom.” Scootaloo remarked disconcerted by the farm pony's candid remark which caused Applebloom to giggle aloud as she crawled under the blankets and popped her head out a few moments later.

“Ah'm sorry, it was just too temptin to not say.” She replied doing her best not break into full out laughter as she crawled under the blankets herself.

“Lets just get some sleep, I'll wake up in a few hours to check on Sweetie Belle.” Scootaloo replied as she closed her eyes.

“Bet this was the same bed that they made ya in too.”

“Applebloom!”

“Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha! Ah'm sorry, Ah'm sorry! Ah'll shut mah trap and go to sleep now.”

“Where is Rarity?” Twilight asked curiously as Rainbow Dash walked into the library, head facing the ground, and tail between her legs as she walked in.

“She's out there... Looking for Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle.” Rainbow Dash replied depressingly as she sat down next to the fireplace and sighed moments later.

“But that's suicide! She'll freeze to death before she finds them!” Twilight exclaimed with a panicked expression now though Rainbow Dash made no hint of sharing this feeling.

“And that is what sets us apart from one another, she's willing to die for Scootaloo, I'm not.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied in the same depressing voice not bothering to look at Twilight.

“Oh, that's a load of horseapples!” Twilight exasperated with a glare at the cyan blue Pegasus.

“Is it Twilight? Tell me, where is Cheerilee?” Rainbow Dash replied as she finally looked at Twilight though not moving from her position.

“I...” Twilight began to say only to trail off as her ears flattened and she bit her lower lip. “I lost track of her on the way back to the library. She mentioned something about remembering what Sweetie Belle said about Scootaloo and where she might go, but before I could stop her, she ran off. I don't even know if she found her way out of the Everfree forest.” The unicorn replied and sighed. “She's still a filly, I never got a chance to change her back.”

“I guess Rarity is really the better mare for the kid. After all, she's willing to do what I won't.” Rainbow Dash replied and sighed once again.

“Maybe, but don't misjudge courage for stupidity. What their doing right now may very well get
themselves killed. Lets just hope they come to her senses before that point.” Twilight replied as she walked over to the fireplace and sat next to the cyan blue Pegasus.

“I can send a letter to the princess at anytime ya know.” Spike remarked from behind the two mares crossing his arms.

“Don't bother. Do you honestly think the princess could ever hope to understand what is going on here? If she found out what I did with Scootaloo, she'd do worse than stop being my mentor I'm sure.” Twilight replied depressingly and sighed aloud.

“You fooled around with Scootaloo?” Rainbow Dash asked in shock as she looked over at Twilight now.

“Not intentionally, well maybe, oh, who in Tartarus am I kidding? I practically begged the filly to do me.” Twilight replied and sighed once again only to get a slug to the jaw from the cyan blue Pegasus.

“That's for fooling around with Scootaloo!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a glare as she stood up to all four hooves and walked towards the door.

“Do you really think I'm just gonna let you walk out that door after you hit Twilight?!” Spike roared and charged at the cyan blue Pegasus only to be halted by Twilight's magic.

“Let her go, Spike. She had every right to hit me. I messed with her fillyfriend after all.” Twilight said softly as she rubbed her sore cheek.

With one last glare towards the unicorn, the cyan blue Pegasus opened the door to the library and closed it behind her.

THREE HOURS LATER...

Scootaloo awoke with a start and looked to her left taking note of the fact that Applebloom wasn't there. Hoofsteps however caused her to sit up and see the farm pony walking in.

“Ah couldn't sleep so ah checked on Sweetie Belle, she's doin fine ah guess, but ah really can't be sure.” Applebloom explained as she hopped onto the bed and got under the covers.

“You were supposed to get some sleep. I don't need another friend of mine sick in bed because of me.” Scootaloo remarked aloud and sighed as she turned to face away from the farm pony.

“This isn't your fault ya know. We choose to come lookin for ya, because we were worried bout ya.” Applebloom replied as she placed a hoof on Scootaloo's mane and gently ran it along it.

“If I had never run away, you two would have never come looking for me, and Sweetie Belle wouldn't be...” The Pegasus began to say only to trail off as she curled her body up and began to shake.

“Scootaloo-”

(Play Kissing the Rain now

“It's all my fault! I forced you two come looking for me, I forced Rarity and Rainbow Dash to argue over me, I got Sweetie Belle sick, I-I-I...” Scootaloo said trailing off as she gave a high-pitched cry mid-sentence and slammed her eyes shut as tears poured from them as if in a vain attempt to cut off the flow.

Applebloom then wrapped her arms around her weeping friend from behind and held her close as tears began to drift down her cheeks as well. “Scootaloo, you're blaming yourself for stuff that ain't your fault. You didn't force anypony to do anythin. We chose to come lookin for ya, Rarity and Rainbow Dash chose to argue over ya, so please, stop beatin yourself up!” Applebloom exclaimed as she hugged Scootaloo tightly as her tears drizzled down her cheeks onto the filly's shoulder. “Please... Ah can't bare to see ya like this...”

“Please Scootaloo, don't do this to yourself. Talk to meh, tell meh what's hurtin ya, and ah'll make it all better ah promise. Ah'll make the pain go away because Ah...Ah....”

Ah love you....

These three words were spoken in a whisper by the farm pony which were followed by silence as a cascade of tears ran down her face in a waterfall as her hooves ran up and down along Scootaloo's body as if to comfort her despite her own sorrow.

I could feel her tears touching me as they dripped onto my shoulder. If I didn't know any better, I'd think she was in more pain than I was now.

How long had she been holding this in? I had my suspicions, but for her to say it now, at the time I felt the most vulnerable, I didn't know what to say, what to think. I just laid there in her arms.

“Scootaloo?! Where are you?!” Rarity shouted over the roaring winds as she looked about herself shivering until her eyes fell upon an unconscious dark purple filly with a three daisy cutie half buried in the snow next to a cluster of trees. “Cheerilee?!” Rarity exclaimed as she ran over to the unconscious filly, lifted her up with her magic and wrapped her hooves around her. Much to her relief she shivered audibly as Rarity held her.

“Don't you dare die on me Cheerilee, not after you dragged me to Tartarus and back by dating my little sister! I still need to beat the living horsefeathers out of you! Do you hear me?!” Rarity exclaimed as she channeled magic into her horn and began to construct a small tent out of leaves and trees around them until the two were properly sheltered.

Rarity then used her magic to collect a small pile of stones and branches. With one quick zap of her horn, a fire burst to life within their hastily made tent. The unicorn then gently placed Cheerilee down next to the fire and stared at her silently as she ran a hoof along her side.

Time seemed to fly by now as Rarity continued to stare at the sleeping filly in front of her and sighed heavily with a soft smile. “It feels like so long ago now, when I hated you so much and thought of you as nothing more than a sick and twisted foal fiddler. Yet look at me now, I have a fillyfriend myself who is as young as Sweetie Belle. What a crazy world we live in these days...” Rarity thought to herself as she looked outside through the small doorway to their tent as the snow and wind raged on without remorse...

The calm after the storm

THE CALM AFTER THE STORM

Rarity looked outside the small hole in their tent taking note of the storm beginning to die down and gave a sigh of relief. “I hope Cheerilee comes to soon, I want to find Scootaloo as soon as possible.” Rarity remarked quietly to herself as she looked over at the sleeping filly whom was no longer shivering uncontrollably.

At this exact moment however, Cheerilee's eyes fluttered open drowsily. “Wh-Where am I?” Cheerilee asked as she stood up to all fours only to stumble slightly still taking in her surroundings.

“Don't try to push yourself too much, or you'll end up passing out again.” Rarity replied with a smile to which Cheerilee's gaze snapped to Rarity.

“R-Rarity? You saved me?” The dark purple filly asked looking at the unicorn in disbelief.

“Don't look so surprised. If I let you freeze to death, Sweetie Belle would never forgive me.” Rarity replied giving the filly an indifferent expression as she spoke and turned to look outside again.

“Is that the only reason?” Cheerilee replied looking unconvinced of the unicorn's reasoning behind saving her life.

Rarity then turned to look at Cheerilee taking note of her unconvinced expression. “Oh come on, what kind of mare do you take me for? Do you really think I would let somepony freeze to death? I'm not heartless you know!” Rarity exclaimed defensively and quickly turned to look outside again in an effort to hide the fact she was blushing now.

Upon hearing this Cheerilee gave a light laugh. “A few months ago, I really wouldn't be sure about that. But that was then and this is now.”

“We're not so different you and I. You know this, don't you?” Rarity asked solemnly though she didn't turn to look at Cheerilee this time around.

“You're still scared of what may come of this, aren't you?” Cheerilee asked with a note of concern in her voice as she spoke now.

“Weren't you? After all, you remember how I reacted when I first found out. Looking back, I don't know what I would have done if not for Twilight. How do you manage to keep it together?” Rarity replied and sighed heavily.

“The fear of being found out never really goes away. You just get better at suppressing that fear.” Cheerilee replied as she sat down and wrapped her tail around her front hooves as she looked at the ground. “The most we can do is continue to love them the way we do and do our best to keep our relationships a secret until they are old enough. Speaking of which, where is Rainbow Dash?”

“She went home. Said something about not wanting to freeze to death for Scootaloo.” The unicorn replied though her tone of voice as she said this sounded resentful as she spoke.

“I see...” Cheerilee replied with a frown. It was then the filly noticed that Rarity's normally well-kept mane was a complete mess and yet the unicorn was not freaking out over this. She wondered if she should say anything.

Rarity turned to look at Cheerilee at the point however and took note of what she was staring at. “If it's about my mane, yes I am well aware it is simply atrocious at the present time, but I have something far more important than my looks to worry about now.” Rarity replied annoyed.

“Scootaloo?” Cheerilee asked curiously to which Rarity nodded silently, her eyes glistening as she nodded.

“Something more important to you than your looks? By Celestia, you're head over hooves for that filly aren't you?” Cheerilee joked with a grin which was met with a glare at first from the unicorn but turned into a smile followed by the two breaking into spontaneous laughter.

“Speaking of which, the storm has died down some, are you feeling well enough to walk? The house should be a day's hike from here.” Rarity said a few minutes later.

“Yes, I should be fine.” Cheerilee replied as she looked outside.

“Then let us be on our way, we'll take rest stops along the way however. Your still in a filly's body so you can't handle the cold as well as I can.” Rarity replied as she edged open the make-shift door and walked out of it followed closely by Cheerilee.

(Play Love Me now)

“It must seem so unfair to you... Being forced to watch from the sidelines all this time.” Scootaloo remarked solemnly breaking the silence that seemed to have lasted for so long after the two had managed to stop crying still within the farm pony's tight embrace.

“What? Oh, that...” Applebloom replied sounding confused at first until she caught on to what the Pegasus was getting at and sighed. “It was hard at first, but ah got used it after a while. Ah thought ah could keep mah feelins hidden, keep mahself from sayin those three words. But ah guess it's out in the open now.”

“How long have you felt this way towards me? How long were you holding it in?” Scootaloo asked as she turned to face her friend now so that their faces were mere inches from one another which caused the farm pony to blush.

Applebloom shuffled uncomfortably where she lay now as she retracted her hooves and curled up slightly now with her earns flattened. “A year at least ah think.”

“So it was then...” Scootaloo remarked thoughtfully as she recalled the events with Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle.

“Ah thought ah could keep mah feelins under control. But the more ah hung out with ya the worse they became until that day when ah became so desperate to show ya how much ah cared without sayin anythin that ah...” Applebloom began to say only to trail off as she bit her lower lip guiltily.

“You tried to blackmail me, yeah I remember.” The Pegasus replied finishing Applebloom's sentence for her.

“The part bout mah family not takin kindly to mares who go after the cherry bush instead of the carrot stick is still true though. That's kind of why ah went off the deep end for a little while thar.”

“The combination of fear and feelings towards me became too much to hold in. Yeah, I've been there. But I handled it differently, if you can call the stupid load of horseapples things I did handling it.” Scootaloo replied and sighed heavily.

“No one blames ya Scootaloo. After all, we're only fillies. Then again, ah'm not so sure even an adult mare could handle what you had to deal with and still remain sane.” Applebloom replied ending her statement on a thoughtful note.

“Teh, Rarity didn't. She turned to drinking.” The Pegasus remarked sourly.

“Ah guess... Ah guess we all handle our problems in our own ways.” Applebloom replied trailing off at first in an attempt to collect her thoughts and placed a hoof on Scootaloo's cheek as she spoke.

Scootaloo placed a hoof on Applebloom's and closed her eyes as if to take in her touch. “Applebloom... You're my best friend and I know you care about me but...”

“Ah know... it wouldn't be right of meh to take you away from Rarity.” Applebloom replied as her eyes glistened while she looked at her friend.

Scootaloo then opened her eyes and stared into the farm pony's taking note of the tears she was fighting back. “If things don't work out, I promise you'll be next in line. I can promise that much at least.”

“Ah'll be waitin.” Applebloom replied though this was in a hoarse whisper as her voice cracked slightly before she turned to face away from the Pegasus allowing the tears she was holding in to stream down her cheeks now.

What should I do?

Applebloom gave a startled gasp as she felt Scootaloo's lips gently kiss the back of her neck as her right hoof wrapped around the farm pony and trailed down her underside. “Sc-Scootaloo? What are you doin?” Applebloom asked but made no motion to resist her friend's advances as her eyes darted down to where the Pegasus's hoof was going towards until she let out another sharp gasp as it rested on her mound and began to massage it.

“Helping a friend in need.” Scootaloo whispered softly into the farm pony's ear before she nibbled on it gently causing Applebloom to give yet another startled gasp as a wave of pleasure surged though her body.

Forgive me Rarity, but I’m going to have to hurt you one last time, Applebloom needs this...

Applebloom seemed to be unable to move now as she watched her friend roll her onto her back and began to kiss her underside as she made her way down. “But, But-” Applebloom replied before she gave a sudden sharp moan as Scootaloo's mouth connected with her clit and began to suckle it which caused her to blush furiously and moan out as she stared at Scootaloo continue her mouth-work until her face glided slightly lower and her tongue slipped between the farm pony's glistening folds earning a loud high-pitched pleasured cry from Applebloom.

Applebloom put a hoof to her mouth and hit hard on it as she continued to squirm and writhe under the Pegasus's pleasurable assault to her yellow flower watching Scootaloo's mouth the entire time. “Ah-Ah shouldn't be letting her do this, but mah body won't listen to meh. Is she doin this out of pity? Because she feels sorry for meh? Mah mind is becomin foggy, ah can't keep thinkin strait...” Applebloom thought to herself as she moaned aloud feeling her pleasure mount more and more.

“If-If we're really doin this, then at least let meh return the favor.” Applebloom managed to say between moans.

Without saying a word, Scootaloo repositioned herself on top of the farm pony so that her own orange puffy slit was hovering just above Applebloom's mouth and resumed her pleasurable assault on the farm pony's flower which was leaking her sweet nectar now while her tail swished back and forth so quickly now that it seemed as if it had a mind of its own.

Applebloom quickly dove into the source of her fantasies and desires taking in the Pegasus's unique taste as her tongue danced inside of Scootaloo's folds which earned rapid moans from the Pegasus as her tongue ran along her inner walls. “This may be the only time I get to be with my love. So ah plan to make the most of it...” Applebloom thought to herself as she suckled Scootaloo's clit before diving her tongue back between Scootaloo's folds.

Even though she may never know, even though I may never tell her, before Rainbow Dash, before Rarity, there was her. It was brief, but there was a time I did care about her the way she cared about me now... Those old feelings seemed to be resurfacing now.

Maybe that's where the source of my fantasies derived from. These forgotten feelings of love for her.

“Just our luck! We get a mile down the road and the storm picks up again!” Rarity exasperated with a glare at the clouds before she glanced back to Cheerilee whom was shivering from head to hooves though she continued to push forward despite this. “I'm going to make another tent.”

Cheerilee looked at Rarity knowing why she said this and shook her head. “No, I'm fine. Lets keep going! Sweetie Belle is waiting for us and so is Scootaloo!” Cheerilee exclaimed as she pushed herself forward.

“You can't be serious! You look like you're ready to collapse again darling!” Rarity exclaimed over the roaring winds that were now picking up and looked to the skies at which point she noticed a blue blur jetting amongst the snow. “It can't be her... can it?”

The unicorn's question was answered as the blue blur came hurtling towards the ground and hit the snow. “Rainbow Dash? Why in Equestria are you out in this Luna forsaken storm?!” Rarity asked as she ran over to the cyan blue Pegasus and helped her to her hooves.

“I could ask you the same question.” Rainbow Dash replied with a weary smirk.

“But I thought you went home?” Cheerilee asked as she walked over stumbling slightly as she stood next to Rarity.

“I did and I did some thinking while I was at it.” Rainbow Dash replied as she looked at the two taking note of Cheerilee's condition.

“This storm is going to be a reoccurring problem for us.” Cheerilee remarked as she looked skyward.

“That's why I came out here.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied as she looked skyward as well.

Rarity's expression became worried upon hearing this as she looked at Rainbow Dash. “What are you saying?”

“Listen, You and Scootaloo are meant for each other. It took you to help this featherbrain to realize this. So the best I can do is clear the way for you two.” Rainbow Dash replied as she took her take off position.

“That's suicide! If it's cold down here, then I can only imagine how cold it might be up there! You'd freeze to death in minutes!” Rarity exclaimed as she placed her hooves on the cyan blue Pegasus in an attempt to halt her take-off.

“You insult me Rarity. Who in Equestria do you think you're talking to?” Rainbow Dash replied with a cocky smile as she placed a hoof on her chest.

“This is no time to play hero!” Cheerilee chimed in catching onto what the cyan blue Pegasus was planning now.

“You think this is a game to me? You think I want to risk my flank for nothing more than fame?! Look around yourselves! We have no idea if Scootaloo even made it to that place Skydancer told you about! Nor do we have any idea if Sweetie Belle and Applebloom made it! What matters now is finding them and bringing them home to a warm house with food and shelter! So get your hooves off me and let me get rid of this bucking storm!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she rocketed off the ground knocking Rarity onto her rump as she did so and took off towards the skies.

Rarity quickly got back to all fours and looked up at Rainbow Dash as she continued her vertical climb. “You better come back, do you hear me Rainbow Dash?!” Rarity shouted at the top of her lungs in hopes that the cyan blue Pegasus would hear her.

Scootaloo and Applebloom laid still in their afterglow, neither one saying a word. That is, until Applebloom spoke up.

“Why'd ya do it? Was it because you felt sorry for meh?” Applebloom asked softly as she ran her hoof through Scootaloo's mane gently.

“No...” Scootaloo replied quietly as she looked at the farm pony though she smiled as she spoke.

“Then why?”

Scootaloo sighed as she collected her thoughts before she spoke. “Because I wanted you to feel special. I wanted you to feel the same way I felt when I made love to Rarity. Even if it was just this one time. I wanted you to know how it felt to be with the pony you love.”

Applebloom wrapped her arms around her friend and held her tight as her head rested on Scootaloo's shoulder.

Thank you...

She whispered these two words to me and I knew she meant them with all her heart. I gave her the one thing she longed for. To feel my intimate embrace. I would be lying if I didn't yearn for the same till now. But that wasn't why I did this. I did for her, not for myself. The fact that my own hidden fantasies were fulfilled was just a perk of giving a friend something she always wanted...

The touch of a lover...

Frozen

FROZEN

A few hours had passed since Scootaloo and Applebloom had spoken, but this was due to each filly checking on Sweetie Belle while the other slept. That is, until Applebloom came rushing into the bedroom. "Hey, Scootaloo! The storm's lettin' up!" She shouted which nearly caused the Pegasus to springboard five feet off the bed and land back on it with a groggy expression before the farm pony's words fully sunk in.

"It is?! How's that possible?! A storm that strong wouldn't die down less than a day after it started." Scootaloo replied as she hopped out of the bed and followed the earth pony to the window.

"I can't believe it!" Scootaloo exclaimed in shock as she stared out the window. The storm hadn't completely dissipated but it was much less fierce than it was roughly twelve hours ago.

"Ya think we can take Sweetie Belle to the hospital now?" Applebloom asked with a worried glance towards the stairs.

"No, the storm may have let up but its still way too cold to be carrying her around in this. We could end up making her worse before we even got close to the hospital." Scootaloo remarked wisely before she turned to look at Applebloom who didn't like this answer. "Hey, don't worry. She'll pull through. She's a cutie mark crusader and a crusader won't let something as silly as being sick in bed stop them from earning their cutiemark!" Scootaloo said reassuringly to the farm pony yet she was reassuring herself as much as she was Applebloom at this point.

"But she's gettin' worse, Scootaloo!" Ah put my hoof on her cheek this mornin' and it felt like Ah had just touched a fryin' pan after sittin' on the stove for ten minutes!" Applebloom exclaimed with a mild glare though the worry in her voice was far more prominent than anger with the Pegasus.

"We can't take her out there by hoof though! If she's this bad now, she'll only get worse if we expose her to the cold!" Scootaloo protested.

"She'll get worse if she stays here!" Applebloom literally roared back.

"What do you want me to do?! I'm only one filly, Applebloom!" Scootaloo yelled back.

"Yer just chicken!" Applebloom exclaimed with a glare.

"Am not! Unlike you, I'm using my head!" Scootaloo exclaimed as she turned around and walked away.

"That's it, Scootaloo. Run away from the problem! You've been doin' a lot of that lately, haven't ya?!" Applebloom shouted with a glare at which point Scootaloo whirled around and glared at her.

"Don't you even dare attempt to lecture me about running away from my problems when you've spent the last year and a half running away from the fact that you're attracted to fillies!" Scootaloo nearly screamed, her temper rising very quickly at this point.

"I'm not attracted to fillies!" Applebloom yelled back at the top of her lungs.

"Then what do you call what we did less than six hours ago in my parent's bedroom?! Exercise?!" Scootaloo nearly screamed as she walked up to the farm pony and pointed a hoof upstairs.

"That's different!" Applebloom exclaimed defensively though she looked far less confident in her words now.

"Oh really?! How's it any different?!" Scootaloo roared into the farm pony's face.

"Because it was with you!" Applebloom shrieked back only for her pissed off expression to fade into a saddened one. "It's always been just you…" She added in a soft tone as tears began to form in her eyes.

Upon hearing these words by the from pony, Scootaloo's anger subsided if only to the point she was able to speak calmly. "We've been over this, Applebloom. I can't leave Rarity." She said as she turned away from the filly and sighed aloud.

"She's nearly three times your age! Ya really think that's gonna work out?! All it takes is somepony gettin' wise and not only will ya lose Rarity but Ah'll lose the one filly Ah love!" Applebloom exclaimed, the tears now flowing from her eyes freely as she spoke.

"We'll be careful until I'm old enough! If Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle can make it work, then why can't we?!" Scootaloo exclaimed as she whirled around to face the farm pony, glaring at her once more.

"And that worked out so well, didn't it?! If it wasn't for Twilight, Cheerilee would be in jail right now! Twilight isn't always gonna be thar to protect y'all!" Applebloom exclaimed, her voice cracking as she choked back even more tears.

"If it wasn't for Twilight, I would have never known what true love is!" Scootaloo shot back. "I owe her a lot more than you know…" she added on a soft yet thoughtful note as she recalled how the lavender unicorn saved her from losing everything not so long ago.

A painful silence ensued between the two for sometime before Applebloom spoke. "If ya was with me… ya wouldn't have to hide it." She said softly and gave a soft sniffle as she wiped her nose.

"Applebloom… don't make me choose. Because if you do, Rarity is going to win." Scootaloo replied and sighed. It was now at this moment in time, the young Pegasus had realized her decision. She loved Rarity more than she did Rainbow Dash. As if something in the filly's soul had ignited, the fragments of memories she held in her mind suddenly came together to form a clear picture. Scootaloo had remembered… Everything.

Applebloom noticed the sudden change in the Pegasus's behavior as she stared at her. Something was suddenly different about her. What it was exactly, she didn't know. "Scootaloo?" She asked softly as if she was scared to find out what it was.

Scootaloo took a deep breath and let out a sigh. "Now everything makes sense." She said softly though she wasn't speaking to Applebloom but rather, herself.

"What makes sense?" Applebloom asked curiously as she walked over to the filly.

"Applebloom… I remember everything now. The time I spent in the alternate dimension with Rarity, how I fell in love with her, all of it." Scootaloo said simply and sighed once again.

After all this time, after all the inner turmoil she had put herself through, she had finally realized who she knew her heart belonged to.

The unicorn looked up at the sky with a worried glance. "Don't be a hero Rainbow Dash…" She said softly aloud only to hear a soft plopping sound, turned to her left and noticed Cheerilee once again shivering uncontrollably. The unicorn wasn't immune to the effects of the cold either as her whole body shivered fiercely. In fact, she could swear that should couldn't feel her hooves anymore. She however had more pressing concerns.

"I'll make another tent." She said simply only for the filly to stand up wearily.

"N-No...this makes the fifth time we've stopped in the last five hours. We can't afford to waste anymore time!" Cheerilee exclaimed defiantly, took a few weak steps, and fell to her knees.

"But you can't even walk anymore! What will be the point in finding them if you've frozen to death before we even reach the house!?" Rarity countered. She had a valid point and both ponies knew it.

"Then carry me. I barely weigh more than Sweetie Belle does anyways." Cheerilee replied, still determined to go on despite her condition.

Rarity looked at the filly and sighed. She could tell by the look on her face, no matter what she said at this point, Cheerilee was going to refuse to stop anymore and keep on trying to get to the filly she loved whether Rarity was willing to carry her or not.

With a minor huff of annoyance, the unicorn channeled magic into her horn and levitated the fully to her back. "You're sure you don't want to stop at least once more to warm yourself up, darling?" Rarity asked with a look of concern on her face due to the fact that once she had placed the filly on her back, she could feel just how much colder she was than her.

"N-No, lets get moving." Cheerilee stuttered out between teeth chatters.

"Very well, lets be on our way then, hmm?" Rarity replied and continued walking through the snow only to suddenly feel light-headed for a moment and stumble forward though she regained her balance before she fell. A stumble, that Cheerilee took note of.

"Rarity, are you alright?" She asked as the unicorn continued to walk through the snow.

"Just fine, darling. I merely tripped over a small hole that was concealed under the snow. All good here." She lied and sighed softly to herself. "I'm such a hypocrite…" She thought to herself dismally, knowing full well that she wasn't feeling nearly as well as she had when her journey began.

Rainbow Dash's teeth chattered, her wings ached, and she could no longer feel her own nose but she refused to stop, she had merely slowed the storm down, if left alone, it would bring itself back to full strength within the hour. With a grunt of pain, the cyan blue Pegasus forced herself to take off from a cloud she had taken a short rest on and resumed kicking out clouds.

Suddenly a jolt of lightning jetted past the cyan blue Pegasus barely an inch from her. "Gah!" She exclaimed as the bolt sailed past her face. Well, she could feel her nose now but it now stung and a painful burning sensation began to swell on her nose, clearly having suffered a second degree burn or worse. Despite this, she continued her job, refusing to back down from what she was determined to finish that she had started.

A mere twenty minutes later however and the Pegasus was clearly at her limit as she landed on the closest cloud she could find to rest only to realize that no matter how much she tried, she couldn't will her wings to flap, she could barely move her legs, and even though her nose has felt like it was on fire less than twenty minutes ago, she could no longer feel that as well once again.

"Oh geez! Is this really how I'm going to die?! To a lame snowstorm?!" She shouted as loud as she could in fury though her voice could barely make much more than a feeble hoarse whisper at most. "Move you lame wings!" Rainbow Dash choked out as she used every ounce of her willpower and strength to flap her wings but barely managed to move a single wing-tip a few centimetres down.

Rainbow Dash could feel her sight dimming as she felt her consciousness begin to slip away. "M-Move... M-Move… Move…" She said weakly over and over until her vision faded completely and passed out on the cloud as snow began to coat over her body within the snowstorm.

Rarity gave a worried look skyward now, taking note that the storm was regaining its former strength. Though this was the least of her current concerns. The unicorn was at the very moment, using every fiber of her willpower to remain awake as the house they were trying to find suddenly appeared to the unicorns eyesight, as blurred as it was.

Due to Rarity carrying her, Cheerilee was recovering rather well thanks to the unicorn's body heat warming her somewhat despite the chilling winds that continued to pummel her without remorse.

"Ch-Cheerilee, I see it! The house!" Rarity stuttered out between teeth chatters which caused the filly to look up and stare almost in disbelief of what she was seeing.

"Oh thank Luna!" Cheerilee exclaimed joyfully only to suddenly be flung from the unicorn's back as Rarity's face impacted with the snow. "Rarity?! Rarity, say something!" Cheerilee exclaimed as she shook the unconscious unicorn.

Cheerilee gave a panicked look at the house then back to Rarity and once more towards the house before breaking into an all out gallop.

The filly ran to the door, and began pounding on it in hopes that Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom were inside.

"Who in the hay?" Applebloom asked curiously as she walked to the door and gawked in shock at the sight of Cheerilee, teeth chattering but looking panicked as she darted inside.

"Cheerilee?!" Scootaloo exclaimed in disbelief as she stared at the shivering earth pony. "Applebloom, go grab the blanket from my parents room!" Scootaloo instructed to which Applebloom darted up the stairs without another word, came back down stairs, and flung the blanket over the shivering filly who immediately held the blanket close to warm herself.
"What the hay are you doing out here?!" Applebloom asked in shock only to hear a low chattering which sounded something like words from the earth pony. Curiously, Applebloom leaned in closer to listen as did Scootaloo.

"R-R-Rarity… un-un-unconscious… O-O-Outside…" Was all the earth pony managed to stutter out but it was all Scootaloo needed to hear as before Applebloom could utter a single word, the Pegasus flung the door open, spread her wings, and took off.

It didn't take long for Scootaloo to spot her lover, laying in the snow unconscious. The young Pegasus nearly hit the snow nose-first as she landed haphazardly and rushed to her lover's side. "Come on, Rarity! Say something!" Scootaloo exclaimed as she shook the unicorn.

Much to her relief, she heard an audible groan from the unicorn as her eyes fluttered open weakly. "S-Scootaloo?" She managed to utter out though it was barely more than a whisper which the Pegasus would not have heard if her ears were not directly next to Rarity's mouth at the moment.

"C-Come on! You gotta get up so I can get you inside!" Scootaloo instructed as she did her best to help the unicorn to her hooves only for her to fall back to the snow.

"C-Can't… F-Feel… M-My… L-Legs…" Rarity managed to stutter out as the young filly helped her up once again only to put her body under the unicorn and began to tug her way back to the house with Rarity's body dragging along the snow behind them.

About half way back to the house, Applebloom came into view and stopped with a horrified face a few feet from them as she stared at the half-frozen unicorn. "I-Is she…?" Applebloom asked, her voice cracking.

"N-No, she's alive. H-Help me carry her into the house." Scootaloo stuttered out, the bitter cold was starting to get to her as well.

Without another word, the farm pony quickly took a leg over her body and helped Scootaloo carry Rarity back to house. It took nearly twenty minutes but eventually, the two fillies could be seen carrying Rarity's body through the front door which was promptly closed behind them.

Upon seeing the unicorn, Cheerilee immediately yanked the blanket off herself and through it over the now shivering Unicorn who was barely conscious at this point.

"Her legs…" Applebloom remarked in a whisper as she looked over them before the blanket was tossed over Rarity. The farm pony had gotten a clear view of them and they looked far from their normally white color as they brandished a dark blue, almost black color on them now.

Cheerilee lifted the blanket for a moment to get a look herself and gasped. "Oh dear…" Cheerilee uttered out. Even though she was still far from warmed up, she was in far better condition than the unicorn at the moment.

"C-Can't… F-Feel... My... legs… W-Why?" Rarity managed to utter out between teeth chattering.

"What's wrong with her legs?" Scootaloo asked in a worried tone as she ran a hoof through her lover's mane.

"I'm not sure how to say this but it looks like a really bad case of frostbite…" Cheerilee replied only to give a heavy wheezing cough.

"Frostbite?! Isn't that really bad?!" Scootaloo exclaimed with a panicked expression now.

"Yes, it is." Cheerilee replied only to give yet another wheezing cough.

"That's a really bad cough, Miss. Cheerilee." Applebloom remarked with a worried look.

"N-Nevermind me, where's Sweetie Belle?" Cheerilee asked as she looked at the two.

"She's upstairs, Applebloom can show ya to her room." Scootaloo replied as she leaned against Rarity and nuzzled her affectionately.

Once Applebloom showed the earth pony to her lover's bedroom, the earth pony's expression was filled with worry all over again as she rushed over to Sweetie Belle whom moaned softly at her touch. "Dear Celestia, she's hot to the touch!" Cheerilee remarked in a mildly panicked tone as she looked over at Applebloom. "How long has she been like this?"

"Couple days now, she passed out just before we got here and hasn't woken up since." Applebloom replied as she walked over to the bed and gave her friend a worried look before she looked back at Cheerilee. "She's gonna make it… isn't she?" Applebloom asked, her voice cracking as she spoke the last two words of her sentence.

The earth pony hesitated in her reply. She could tell from just looking at the filly that her condition wasn't good. "We can only hope." She said softly as she ran a hoof through the filly's mane.

The earth pony's face lit up in alarm however as she recalled one terrifying fact, Rainbow Dash was still out there.

"What is it?" Applebloom asked taking note of the earth pony's panicked expression.

"Rainbow Dash is out there, in the clouds still. She's been working all this time to weaken the storm for us to get here." Cheerilee replied followed by another wheezing cough.
"And she hasn't come back?!" Applebloom exclaimed, turned about face, and rushed down the stairs only to find the door wide-open and Scootaloo note in sight.

"Sh-She overheard… Cheerilee…and you." Rarity managed to utter out much to the horror of the farm pony.

"Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo shouted as the storm winds blew fiercely against her, chilling the Pegasus to the bone the moment she entered the cloud cover. The storm was back to its former full strength now and didn't hesitate to begin pummeling the young Pegasus no sooner she had entered.

"Rainbow Dash! Answer me!" Scootaloo shouted aloud though the strong winds and snow that pelted her now seemed to drown out her voice. Despite this, she continued calling out the cyan blue Pegasus's name in hopes she would respond.

Scootaloo had no idea how much time had passed now but there was one thing she knew, if she stayed in this storm much longer, she was going to freeze to death. She could barely feel her wings now, her legs felt numb, and she could have swore that her mane was frozen solid. Despite knowing this, she continued calling out Rainbow Dash's name, not giving up in her search to find the mare.

It might have taken the filly hours more to find the cyan blue Pegasus but it so happened that she found her less than five minutes later, unconscious on a lone cloud. With the last of her strength that the filly could muster, she wrapped her arms around the mare and lifted her, barely securing her. Due to Rainbow Dash's size, flying properly was going to be next to impossible, this much she knew, but she was going to try anyways.

"I've got to be out of my mind!" Twilight exclaimed as she conjured a shield to protect her from cold winds and snow that pelted her now The lavender unicorn was barely on the outskirts of Ponyville now, having decided to join in the search, despite as late as she was.

However, she had taken barely a few more steps before an orange and blue blur came into view and crashed-landed about fifty feet from where she stood. Without hesitation, the unicorn teleported to the crash site.

"Holy apples covered in caramel!" Twilight exclaimed with a horrified glance at the two, channeled magic into her horn and teleported the two to the Ponyville hospital.

It took no time at all for the two pegasi to be admitted, rushed to the ER via stretchers being pushed by nurse unicorns and doctors.

At this exact moment, Skydancer happened to be coming out from her hospital room in a wheelchair to see what the commotion was about only to see her daughter being rushed by. "Scootaloo?!" She exclaimed with a horrified expression as her daughter's stretcher whized by and was out of sight moments later.

It was a mere few moments later that Twilight ran up to the Pegasus, having hear her calling out the filly's name. "You know her?" Twilight asked curiously. If the unicorn had bothered to pay close attention, she would have realized this was Scootaloo's birth mother right away but her worry for her friends was causing her to draw a blank at the moment.

"Of course I know her! That's my daughter!" Skydancer exclaimed though she looked nearly frantic at the moment due to what she had witnessed.

It was then it dawned on the lavender unicorn. "Of course! Skydancer! Look, I need to ask you a few questions!" Twilight asked quickly but in a calm manner...

And here you go! The long awaited continuation of "The Belle tolls for love 2"!!!:twilightsmile:

A new beginning

A NEW BEGINNING

THE SECOND STORY ARC

PROLOGUE:

A month had past now since the events that had passed and while it felt like a lifetime ago, the memories were still fresh in the white unicorn's mind. How she found out about her little sister and Cheerilee's relationship, the many years she spent with Scootaloo in the alternate dimension, and how her mind was opened up to a whole new world. Times like now when she thought about it, how she had fallen in love with Scootaloo, the fact she was dating a filly, and the very fact that she had kissed her last week on the lips, caused her mind and body to go spiraling out of control with a combination of guilt, conflict, and happiness.

She still had yet to find a way to jump over her final hurdle though. The one line that once crossed was the point of no return, that one act that in everypony's eyes, was a vile and contemptible act when performed with a filly. She had no idea if she could even bring herself to do it. For the first time in her life, her moral compass was spinning rapidly and was in no way able to give her any sure direction in which to take this.

Fortunately for her, Scootaloo was in no rush. The unicorn was amazed at the filly's understanding. But she also knew that the Pegasus didn't want to wait forever. “What am I going to do? I love her yet...she's still only a filly.” Rarity remarked out loud and sighed.

As if sensing her inner conflict, Twilight opened the front door of the carousel boutique and walked up next to her as the white unicorn stared at photograph of Scootaloo. “Not having second thoughts are we?” Twilight asked curiously as she looked at Rarity now with a look of concern.

“Quite the opposite Twilight, but there is still one thing I can't seem to pin point.” Rarity remarked thoughtfully still looking at the photograph before she turned to look at Twilight. “How did you do it Twilight?” Rarity asked curiously which caused the purple unicorn to stare at her in confusion.

“How did I what?” Twilight asked curiously.

“Break Cheerilee, how did you do it? Sweetie Belle told me everything you know.” Rarity replied and stared at Twilight.

“Oh, that.” Twilight replied as she flattened her ears with a guilty expression. “It's not something I like to talk about. I took a gamble with her and I messed with her mind and emotions. It was a foalish thing of me to do.” Twilight replied and sighed shortly afterward.

“Can you do it again?” Rarity asked curiously which caused the purple unicorn to blink several times in confusion.

“I'm not following...” Twilight replied completely oblivious to what the white unicorn was asking.

“I want you to break me Twilight, break me like you did Cheerilee.” Rarity replied with a dead serious expression.

Upon hearing these words, the purple unicorn's mind was sent reeling as she backed away from the white unicorn in disbelief and ended up tripping over a manikin, knocking it over along her falling onto her rump. “Are you insane?! I would never do something like that to you! Besides, I had the element of mystery with Cheerilee, it doesn't work if you already know.” Twilight replied as she finally managed to regain her composure and stand on all fours again.

“Then make me forget and do it. I'm desperate Twilight, I know Scootaloo wants my touch, but I can't bring myself to. I keep looking at her and seeing a foal, instead of the adult mare I knew. I don't want to see a foal anymore Twilight. I want to see the mare I love!” Rarity exclaimed as she walked up to Twilight and stared at her.

“Rarity, I think you need to take a step back and think for a moment. Calm down and collect yourself.” Twilight replied as she gently pushed the white unicorn away from her to give herself some breathing room.

Without warning the white unicorn fell to her stomach and sobbed loudly. “I'm so confused Twilight! I don't know what to think anymore!” Rarity exclaimed between sobs now as she stared at the purple unicorn.

“And then she just broke down in front of me. I've never seen her so messed up Cheerilee. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if her and Scootaloo being together is such a good idea anymore.” Twilight remarked as she ran a hoof through her mane and sighed.

“Well your plan was to hook her up with Scootaloo all along was it not?” Cheerilee asked curiously as she began to work on her lunch.

“Actually no it wasn't. I never expected Scootaloo to fall for Rarity in the first place. But when she did, I thought it would be good way to get her to see the world from our perspective. Problem was, by the time she fell for Scootaloo, the filly had matured into an adult mare in that dimension. It was sheer chance that I was able to help her see Scootaloo for who she is and not the filly she saw.” Twilight replied and sighed dejectedly.

“But that in itself is the problem now. She's head over hooves in love with Scootaloo, but she can't stop seeing her as a filly. I honest to Luna think this very fact it driving her insane, literally!” Twilight exclaimed as she stared at Cheerilee now whom stopped what she was doing to look at her now.

“Maybe you should break her then Twilight. Choose the lesser of the two evils and break her mind down before she loses it completely. It worked for me didn't it?” Cheerilee replied after a few tense moments.

“No, I won't do that to her. Besides, I took a gamble with you. When I look back at my plan, it had so many holes in it that it would make Swiss cheese look good. And you saw where that led us...” Twilight replied as a depressing silence ensued between the two mares.

“Then make the two forget. Make them forget about me and Sweetie Belle, make them forget everything that has happened.” Cheerilee suggested and stared out the window now at Sweetie Belle whom was playing with Scootaloo.

“Cheerilee, you do realize that if I did that...” Twilight replied but trailed off as if unable to finish her sentence.

“Sweetie Belle and I would have to keep our relationship a secret from her again. Yes, I know.”

“I can only manage a spell like this once or I risk damaging their minds permanently.” Twilight replied as she looked at Cheerilee now.

“I understand Twilight. And I'm sure Sweetie Belle would understand, especially if it meant saving her sister's mind.” Cheerilee replied and sighed once again.

“Very well then, gather everypony together.” Twilight replied and sighed.

After all that's happened, after all the trials Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee have gone through, they are back to square one. I wish things didn't turn out this way...

“Why are we here again?” Scootaloo asked curiously as she sat next to Rarity with a hoof on hers while Cheerilee sat along side of Sweetie Belle.

“I'm going to cast a spell that will make you all get over all your problems. I've been working on this ever since last month and I’ve perfected it!” Twilight exclaimed with the best smile she could put on despite the guilt she was feeling for lying to everypony's face with the exception of Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle who knew exactly what was about to happen.

“I can't tell you how much this means to us Twilight.” Rarity remarked with a teary smile as she held Scootaloo's hoof now tightly at which point the purple unicorn turned around quickly and bit her lip so hard that it bled a little as she did her best to not tear up.

“Pull it together Twilight, you can do this, it's for the best...right?” The purple unicorn thought to herself stoically as she turned around to face the five. “Right, here we go.” Twilight said aloud and began to channel magic into her horn.

A few minuets had past now and her horn was glowing so brightly now that it was nearly blinding and in the next moment the light from her horn flashed brightly as a wave of magic expelled throughout the room.

They will forget everything...

Scootaloo then walked up the unicorn, put each of her forehooves on Rarity's shoulders, and shook her but not harshly as she spoke. “There are things more important than watching your sister every waking moment of the day!” The Pegasus exclaimed in a fierce tone only for the unicorn to yank away from her.

“You don't understand!” Rarity exclaimed as she walked away from her now.
“What don't I understand” Scootaloo asked as she walked up to her, whirled her around and exclaimed the words “Tell me!” in a fierce tone to her face.

“You didn't get ponynapped and held against your will so you could be converted you into a filly fiddler by a twisted unicorn!” Rarity exclaimed in a pissed off tone.

“Twilight may be many things, but she would never do that! She brought you here so you could understand, not convert you!” Scootaloo exclaimed trying to defend the purple unicorn while at the same time talk sense into the hysterical mare.

“You didn't see her ignore this mare, that mare, and come after you!” Rarity retorted in a hysterical tone with a glare as tears streamed from her eyes now which left an awkward silence between the two.

“For Celestia's sake Rarity, is that what you think she did?” Scootaloo asked in a stunned tone as tears swelled in her eyes as another awkward silence ensued for a short time before the unicorn finally spoke.

“I-I don't know.” Rarity replied as she moved the filly's hooves from her shoulders once again and walked away.

“Rarity, stop obsessing over Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle's relationship and take a look at what's in front of you.” Scootaloo replied her voice cracking as she spoke now.

“What are you saying?” Rarity asked as she turned around and looked at the Pegasus with a confused look.
Scootaloo then walked up to the unicorn and placed a hoof on her cheek.“Me, Rarity. I-I love you.” Scootaloo replied, stuttering as she spoke now.

“Y-You love me?” Rarity replied in a shocked tone as her eyes grew wide now as she slowly leaned in without realizing it and locked lips with the Pegasus only to yank away a mere few seconds later. “I-I can't!” Rarity exclaimed as she turned away from the Pegasus to walk away only for Scootaloo to place a hoof on her shoulder which caused her to stop in place and look back at her.

“Rarity, I'm nearly a full grown mare now. It's okay. You won't be a filly fiddler, I promise.” Scootaloo said in a soft tone as she slowly turned the mare around and locked lips with her once again. This time however Rarity didn't resist and melted into her kisses with the Pegasus.

Rarity and Scootaloo's eyes became blank now as the memory seemingly vanished from their minds...

Everything...

“For me?!” Scootaloo exclaimed in shock and disbelief at the beautiful dress that the unicorn now levitated before her eyes.

“Yes. After all, I have had nothing better to do than make dresses darling.” Rarity replied with a warm smile.

“Wow, this is, wow.” Scootaloo remarked aloud with a blush as she looked over the dress.

“I would very much like to see you in it.” Rarity replied at which point the Pegasus could have sworn her heart had skipped a beat.

“R-Really?” Scootaloo asked blushing furiously now.

Tears now streamed from Twilight's eyes now as sorrow and sadness filled her heart. Every single memory she was erasing, every emotion they felt, every single flare of love, she felt it which caused the purple unicorn so much grief knowing she was removing these memories.

Everything will be as it was before...

“Stop away from my sister you sick mare!” Rarity roared as she barreled down on Cheerilee whom stood in front of Sweetie Belle now.

“Please Rarity, try to understand!” Cheerilee exclaimed in a desperate tone the fear clear in her voice.

“Oh I understand alright, you are a sick and twisted mare who gets her kicks from molesting unsuspecting fillies! Now back away from her or you won't live to regret it!” Rarity exclaimed as she grew closer and closer only for Sweetie Belle to jump from behind Cheerilee and stand in front of her.

“Sweetie Belle, don't try to protect me. I don't want anything to happen to you.” Cheerilee said in a panicked tone as the filly walked up to Rarity stopping her older sister just short of the earth pony.

“Move aside Sweetie Belle, I'm not upset with you. But this mare, she knew what she was doing, she knew what she was doing every time she...” Rarity trailed off unable to say the words as her rage filled her more than ever.

“So did I! Stop treating me like I’m a foal! I'm practically a teenager for pony's sake! I love Cheerilee! So bucking deal with it!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in a pissed off tone with an expression to match it which caused the mare to be taken back at first but her sister's words.

“Don't worry Sweetie Belle, after I deal with this mare, we'll get you some real help and you'll see exactly what she had done to you.” Rarity said in a soft tone to her younger sister before she moved her to the side with magic and prepared to charge only for Twilight to appear in front of her.

“Rarity, What's going on?! I heard shouts on my way to Fluttershy's house.” Twilight asked in a worried tone at which point the unicorn pointed a shaking hoof at Cheerilee.

“This mare right here, she messed with Sweetie Belle! She-She...” Rarity attempted to say only to trail off feeling her words become overpowered by her sheer rage.

“I understand.” Twilight replied in a solemn tone as she looked over at Cheerilee.

Even though Rarity's eyes were blank now, tears could be seen streaming from them now.

Only Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee shall remember...

Twilight now sat in a corner of carousel boutique as Rarity and Scootaloo lay unconscious due to the effects of the spell.

“Twilight, are you okay?” Sweetie Belle asked in a concerned tone after a few moments.

“I could feel everything they felt, the conflict within Rarity's heart, their love for one another, and the despair they felt with each memory that vanished...” Twilight said softly as her eyes streamed with tears.

“This was the right thing you have done for them Twilight. Now they will be able to love their lives normally again.” Cheerilee said in a soft tone.

“If what I did was right, why does it feel so wrong?” Twilight asked softly.

“We should get them to their beds.” Cheerilee suggested as she walked over to Rarity as Sweetie Belle walked up to Scootaloo and looked at her.

“What about Scootaloo? Where is she going to live now?” The unicorn filly asked looking worried now.

“I made sure not to remove some memories related to the events that happened. They will know why they live together, but they will know nothing of their relationship.” Twilight remarked as she managed to stand up to all four hooves with a sniffle as she wiped her nose.

Unknown to the purple unicorn however, another force was at work. As anypony knows, love is not so easily destroyed...

THE BELLE TOLLS FOR LOVE 2

SCOOTALOO AND RARITY'S STORY

Chapter one:

A MYSTERIOUS FEELING

Scootaloo awoke with a start sitting up abruptly and looking about herself in alarm. “What happened? Why am I in my bed?” The orange Pegasus asked herself curiously.

“Don't you remember? You stayed up late last night and passed out helping Rarity with her dress.” Sweetie Belle said with a smile having been told by Twilight exactly what to say when she awoke.

“Oh, right.” Scootaloo replied with a smile yet for some reason something felt off. She couldn't quite place it, but something felt different. Regardless, she got out of bed and walked down stairs to see Rarity whom was working on a dress.

“Good morning Rarity.” Scootaloo greeted with an upbeat smile.

“Good morning Scootaloo, how did you sleep?” Rarity asked as she turned to look at the filly only to stare as did the orange Pegasus.

Sweetie Belle looked at the two taking note of how they looked at one another and thought for a fleeting moment that the spell had failed.

“It's strange, somehow something feels off today.” Rarity remarked aloud thoughtfully as she attempted to place the feeling she felt towards the orange Pegasus now but was having about as much luck as Scootaloo was whom was feeling the same thing at the exact moment.

“I know the feeling, something has felt off from the moment I woke up this morning.” Scootaloo replied with a soft giggle.

“Oh well, it's probably nothing.” The white unicorn replied after a few more moments as she turned around to resume sewing.

As she turned around however, the orange Pegasus found herself staring at Rarity's tail and wishing she would lift it with a lust filling her body and mind that she was completely unaware of for a few moments until she felt her hind quarters dampen and grow very warm at which point she shook her head furiously and sighed. “Why the hay did I feel like diving face first into her hindquarters for? She adopted me for pony's sake! I'll just grab Rainbow Dash for some fun to get this lust out of my system.” Scootaloo thought to herself in a scolding manner before she turned around and left the carousel boutique without another word.

“Big sis, is something wrong?” Sweetie Belle asked in a concerned tone a few minutes later taking note of the white unicorn's inability to sew anything properly at the moment despite her best efforts.

“I'm not sure Sweetie Belle, but I can't seem to concentrate at the moment. I can't quite figure out why. I suppose I'll get some fresh air myself.” Rarity replied and left the building a few moments later.

The unicorn filly then walked over to the dress that her older sister was working on, took a look at it, and flattened her ears. “Oh horsefeathers, this can't be good.” The filly remarked in a worried tone and ran out of the house herself leaving the dress on the floor with these words sewed into them:

Rediscovering the flame within: Part one

REDISCOVERING THE

FLAME WITHIN

PART ONE

Rarity bucked down Twilight's front door much to the purple unicorn's shock and stomped in with a glare at the unicorn. “Twilight Sparkle, I want an explanation and I want it now!” Rarity exclaimed.

“Do you want me to remind you how bad an idea I thought this was now or later?” Spike asked the purple unicorn with a disapproving glance which earned a glare from Twilight before she turned to look at Rarity.

“Let me guess, you remembered something and you have no idea where from.” The purple unicorn remarked flatly.

“If you were able to guess that easily as to why am here then my gut feeling was correct! What did you do to me Twilight?” The white unicorn asked as she walked up to the purple unicorn and glared at her with barely an inch between her and Twilight's faces.

“I performed a memory erasing spell on you and Scootaloo, but you have to understand Rarity, I did it because I was worried you may lose your mind.” Twilight replied as she walked past the white unicorn and stared out the window.

“Lose my mind? Just what happened to me and Scootaloo to cause you to do such an outlandish thing?” Rarity asked feeling her anger slowly ebb away as she stared at the purple unicorn in confusion.

“You fell in love.” Twilight replied simply not turning around to look at her.

“Me? Fall in love with a filly? Have you lost your mind Twilight Sparkle?” Rarity asked skeptically even though the feeling she felt towards the filly was exactly this.

“It's not that simple, a lot happened, you found out that Sweetie Belle was dating Cheerilee and I had-”

“My little sister is what?!” Rarity roared abruptly in shock and horror which caused the purple unicorn to whirl around and bite her lower lip at which point Spike made a face-palming gesture with a loud slapping sound before staring at Twilight with a glare.

“Scootaloo was dead on when she said you were bad at keeping secrets Twilight.” Spike remarked aloud flatly.

“Oh please don't go and attempt to beat the horsefeathers out of Cheerilee again, I don't think I can manage another spell to put your house in an alternate dimension again.” Twilight said in angst.

“Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't hear another word out of your mouth Twilight Sparkle, but given the situation, I will hear you out.” Rarity replied and planted her rump firmly on the ground.

“Where to begin...” The purple unicorn began and sighed.

“Letters? Are you serious?” The Pegasus asked skeptically.

“It worked on me with Twilight, I don't see how it wouldn't work on Rarity. Especially if Sweetie Belle's suspicions are correct and she often thinks about you but won't admit it.” Cheerilee replied with a smile.

“Oh there's a connection between the two alright, I could see it when the two stared at each other and nearly kissed just before the social worker arrived.” The unicorn filly chimed in.

“I just don't know.” Scootaloo replied and sighed.

“Well, it's an idea at least. You're more than welcome to stay a little longer if you like.” Cheerilee replied as Sweetie Belle nuzzled her affectionately and ran a hoof along her side only for the mare to gently push it away before it neared it's target. “Behave darling, we have guests.” Cheerilee said with a knowing look at the filly who simply giggled mischievously.

A knock the door however caught all three pony's attention to which Cheerilee stood up and walked up to the front door and muttered “Now who could that be?” when she reached out and opened the front door, it revealed Rose whom looked at her with what the mare could have swore to be a piercing glance as if she was attempting to read her mind.

“You must be Cheerilee, My name is Rosemary Pettleworth but you can call me Rose. I'm Scootaloo's Social worker.” Rose said as she walked past the earth pony without so much as waiting for her to invite her inside.

“Do come in.” Cheerilee remarked sourly as she flattened her ears and glared at the mare who seemed to ignore her annoyance.

“So, I hear Sweetie Belle visits here often.” Rose remarked as she looked about the house.

“Yes, I tutor her in math and any other subject she may struggle with in School.” Cheerilee replied with a suspicious glance at the mare.

“Oddly enough, I can't seem to locate any of her school books or yours for that matter.” Rose remarked as she walked past Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, gave them a curious passing glance, and continued to the earth pony's bedroom to which Cheerilee quickly followed.

“Unless am I mistaken, it is not a crime for a student to visit their teacher and speak about things beyond their schoolwork.” Cheerilee replied making sure the social worker would note the annoyance in her voice as she spoke.

“Of course not. I am simply making sure Sweetie Belle is being treated properly is all.” Rose replied as she turned about the looked at the earth pony.

“Treated properly? What are you implying Rose?” Cheerilee asked with a raised eyebrow as she stared at the social worker.

“I've looked at your file Cheerilee, there were several allegations many years ago between you and a certain purple unicorn I believe you know. They were dropped of course because no concrete evidence could be founded. I am sure you know what I speak of.” Rose replied with a knowing look at the dark purple mare who's expression turned from suspicious to pissed off in such a short time that would give Rainbow Dash's time for clearing clouds a run for it's money.

“How dare you...” Cheerilee replied in a low tone, the anger in her voice so thick it could choke a mare if it were breathable.

“Excuse me?” Rose replied feigning ignorance as to why the mare was suddenly so pissed off.

“You march in my house uninvited, and accuse me of molesting one of my students?!” Cheerilee roared as she glared at the social worker who remained perfectly calm.

“I never said any such thing.” Rose replied nonchalantly.

“You may as well have! I would never do anything to harm Sweetie Belle or hurt her in any way, shape, or form. The same goes for the rest of my students for that matter!” The earth pony exclaimed as she continued to glare at the social worker who didn't seem to be affected by this in the slightest.

“That has yet to be seen.” The social worker replied at which point Cheerilee rose up on her hind legs and for a fleeting moment, Rose thought she was going to stomp on her head only for the earth pony to stomp the ground just in front of her so hard it cracked the wooden floor.

“Get the buck out of my house! And if I so much as catch you snooping your ugly nose around my house again, I will make sure that Twilight sends a urgent letter to the princess regarding your actions here!” Cheerilee roared at which point the social worker walked calmly past her, into the front room, and towards her front door before stopping, turning about face and staring at Cheerilee.

“You don't want me as your enemy Cheerilee.” Rose replied but this time the tone of her voice had an air of threatening intent to it.

“Get out!!!” Cheerilee roared at the top of her lungs and charged at the social worker whom quickly opened the door and closed it behind her before the earth pony made it to her.

“Cheerilee, are you okay?” Sweetie Belle asked looking worried at this point.

The earth pony took several deep breaths and let them out before she sighed heavily. “I'm fine Sweetie.” Cheerilee replied. The unicorn however wasn't convinced.

Moments later, a knock on the door could be heard at which point Cheerilee yanked it open expecting to see Rose again only for Twilight, Spike, and Rarity to be standing in front of her.

“What happened Cheerilee? You looked like you were going to beat the horsefeathers out of whoever was behind the door until you saw us.” Twilight remarked in a worried tone.

“Rose happened.” Sweetie Belle pipped up sourly from behind Cheerilee as she walked next to her.

“So what do I owe this visit to?” Cheerilee asked after a few moments once she was able to calm herself again.

“We need to talk Cheerilee. Mind if we come in?” The purple unicorn asked curiously.

“Of course.” Cheerilee replied, turned around, walked inside, and closed the door behind the three.

“Scootaloo? What are you doing here?” Rarity asked curiously.

“Just hangin around.” The Pegasus replied nervously.

“It's good thing she's here anyways, she'll need to hear what we are talking about anyways.” Twilight remarked as she sat down in one of Cheerilee's living room chairs as did Rarity.

“Is something the matter?” The earth pony asked curiously though her voice had a sense of worry about it.

“Don't play coy with me Cheerilee. Twilight had informed me of the situation and if she were not at the center of this fiasco I would not have given her words a second thought beyond the statement of you dating my little sister. Do not mistake my generosity for understanding however.” Rarity replied with a glare at the dark purple earth pony.

“Ugh, what was the point of that spell if everypony knows about it?!” Cheerilee exclaimed with a facehoofing gesture and an irritated groan.

“Well you’re the one who suggested it in the first place.” Twilight replied annoyed.

“Because I thought you knew what you were doing! For Luna's sake Twilight, I had thought you were more talented at magic than this.” Cheerilee retorted.

“Who's the earth pony and who's the unicorn here?! Just because I can cast a spell, doesn't make it immune to side effects or backfiring!” Twilight retorted feeling her temper rise.

“I taught at Celestia's School for gifted unicorns for nearly eight years! I may not be a unicorn, but I do have an idea of what I am talking about!” Cheerilee exclaimed feeling her temper rise as well.

“Yeah, first and second years! They don't even do practical magic in those classes!” Twilight exclaimed with a glare.

“Would you two stop auguring like an old married couple already?! I'm the one dating Cheerilee, not you Twilight!” Sweetie Belle's voice erupted causing the two mares to stare Sweetie Belle whom was glaring at the both of them.

“Am I the only one who feels like we're missing something?” Scootaloo remarked in a confused tone.

“I believe that is why we are here.” Rarity chimed in looking at the two mares who sighed nearly simultaneously.

“Okay, so we're here because Twilight's spell screwed up and the two still are able remember things they shouldn't. Am I correct so far?” Cheerilee asked curiously.

“More or less.” Twilight replied with an annoyed glare until one thing caught her attention. “Wait a second, how did you know about them being able to remember things?” Twilight asked curiously.

“Do you honestly think that Sweetie Belle would keep secrets from me Twilight? She told me all about Scootaloo finding that photograph.” Cheerilee replied as Sweetie Belle nuzzled her affectionately to which Rarity's right eye twitched and shuddered audibly.

“Photograph?” Rarity asked curiously a few moments later curiously.

“This photograph.” Twilight replied as she levitated the photograph with her magic over to Rarity whom held it with her own magic and stared at it now.

“I...remember taking this photograph. But Scootaloo's not an adult mare, so how could this be?” Rarity asked confused.

“I asked her the same question.” Scootaloo chimed in.

“As I told you both, I placed you both in an alternate dimension. Scootaloo willing, Rarity unwilling. My goal was to get Scootaloo to tell her story to Rarity in an attempt to help her see the difference between a pony like Rainbow Dash and a pony like Cheerilee. What I didn't count on however, was Scootaloo falling head over hooves in love with Rarity.” The purple unicorn explained, paused for a few moments to let the two take this information in, and continued.

“Then like an air-headed mare, I attempted to play cupid and encourage Scootaloo to attempt to get close to Rarity while she was still a filly in hopes she would fall in love with her and be able to understand Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee's relationship. Trouble was, she didn't fall in love with her finally until she was an adult mare. It was pure chance that Rarity was able to see the world as Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle do. The events that transpired which lead up to this understanding you both remember, but I removed any trace of why or how Rarity knew to go and find Scootaloo at her parents house.” The purple unicorn explained and sighed.

“Forgive my skepticism Twilight, but I do not see how I could ever understand what goes through Cheerilee's mind or how she can be attracted to fillies.” Rarity remarked flashing the earth pony a glare.

“Quit lying to yourself big sis! I saw how you looked at Scootaloo! I know that look because it's the same Cheerilee gives me each time she looks at me!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed with a glare at her older sister.

“How could you possibly understand what love is? You're barely a teenager for Luna's sake!” Rarity retorted defensively.

Upon hearing this, Sweetie Belle gave a loud and agitated sigh. “You're so stubborn! Just admit it already! You wouldn't have given Twilight's explanation a second thought if you hadn't felt something towards her!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed as she walked up to Rarity and pointed a hoof at the Pegasus.

“You don't even know what you're saying! You're just a filly!” Rarity exclaimed as she glared at her little sister.

“Oh yeah?! You think that just because I'm a still a foal that I can't fall in love?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed as her horn sparked.

“That's exactly what I think!” Rarity retorted.

“Then maybe you would think differently as a filly yourself!” Sweetie Belle roared and channeled magic into her horn.

It was at this point and time that Twilight's face lit up in alarm for two reasons, for one thing, age magic was very advanced magic, far beyond the skills of a filly who has never performed a single spell, two she had a habit of setting anything she cast a spell on a blaze.

However before the unicorn could do anything, the filly's horn exploded in a wave of magic...

“Ohh...” Twilight groaned aloud as she rubbed her head which seemed to be throbbing at this point and opened her eyes wearily.

The sight that beheld her however sent the unicorn's mind reeling. “What the buck did you do Sweetie Belle?!” Twilight exclaimed in a panicked tone and immediately slapped both hooves on her mouth having heard a filly's voice escape it rather than a mare's.

“What in Luna's name happened?” Rarity asked in a dazed tone then suddenly sat up in alarm upon hearing a filly's voice escape her lips as well.

“My head...” Cheerilee remarked as she came to as well, blinked twice, and stared with her jaw agape at the sight that beheld her as she stared at her hooves which were much smaller than she remembered.

Scootaloo was next to come to and stared at the three fillies in confusion. “What...the..buck?” The Pegasus asked aloud in disbelief.

“Twilight, what happened to us?!” Cheerilee exclaimed in shock.

“I think Sweetie Belle turned us all into foals.” The purple unicorn replied as she looked over herself.

“Well turn us back! I can't face the social worker as a filly!” Rarity exclaimed as she looked over herself as well.

It was at this point and time that the unicorn filly was waking up herself, looked about the room at the results of her spell, flattened her ears, and smiled sheepishly. “Ops...” The filly remarked aloud as she scratched the back of her head with her right hoof.

“Ops? You call this ops?!” Rarity exclaimed outraged as she glared at her sister now.

“Yeah, opsie...” Sweetie Belle replied unable to think of anything else to say at the moment.

“Well un-opsie us right this minute!” Rarity exclaimed as she walked over to her sister and pointed a hoof at her.

“I,um, don't know how.” The filly confessed as she bit her lower lip.

The four fillies in the room simply gawked at Sweetie Belle now, mouths agape along with a short whinny emitting from one of them yet which one had emitted this sound was a mystery.

“Where in Equestria did you learn a spell like that Sweetie Belle?” Twilight asked curiously while Rarity paced back and forth now.

“I didn't, it sort of just happened.” The filly replied at which point a loud slapping sound could be heard coming from Rarity as her hoof slapped against her forehead in frustration.

“This is just great, I've been age spelled by an amateur!” Rarity exclaimed as she kicked one of Cheerilee's chairs in frustration.

“Spike? Where are you? I need you to send a letter to the Princess right-” The purple unicorn began to say until her eyes fell upon a infant dragon sucking on his tail. “Oh buck me sideways...” The purple unicorn remarked in dismay as she slapped a hoof on her forehead in annoyance.

“Are we going to be like this forever? Or will we just have to grow up all over again?” Cheerilee asked curiously as she looked at Twilight now.

“I don't know. Age spells are very advanced magic and very tricky to pull off to boot.” Twilight replied and sighed.

“For the love of Celestia, please tell me you are going to fix this.” Rarity said as she walked up to the purple unicorn with a look of desperation on her face.

“Well, we need to get back to the library first so I can do research on this. I won't make any promises, but expect to be like this for awhile.” Twilight replied as she walked past Rarity and to the door only for a knocking sound to echo from it which caused everypony's chest to go ice cold.

“Are y'all home? Ah can come back later if y'all are, ahem, busy.” A voice called from behind the door which the four immediately recognized as Applebloom's voice.

Twilight opened the front door, yanked the farm pony inside, and slammed the door behind her at which point Applebloom stared at the four in disbelief. “What in tarnation happened to y'all?!” Applebloom asked incredulously.

“Sweetie Belle somehow managed to perform an age spell and they got turned into foals and Spike got turned into an infant.” Scootaloo replied candidly.

“Run that by meh again?” The farm pony replied in disbelief.

“Well that went better than expected...”

“Tell me about it! I couldn't have picked a perfect chance to zap them with an age spell if I tried and they think the filly did it!”

“Haha! I know!”

“Shh! Do you want them to hear us you foal?!”

“Did you hear that?” Scootaloo asked curiously as her right ear twitched in response to a subtle speaking of words and looked to the open window to her left.

“Oh horseapples, they heard us! Scam!”

The Pegasus heard these words clearly even though they were faint and quickly dived through the open window much to the shock of Cheerilee, Rarity, Twilight, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom.

Scootaloo quickly glanced to her left and then to her right and saw two unicorn's running off down the road. “Oh no you don't!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she rocketed off the ground and after the two unicorns.

“Crud! The Pegasus is after us!” One of the unicorns exclaimed as they glanced behind themselves.

“Not for long!” The other exclaimed, skidded to a halt while at the same time making an one hundred and eighty turn, channeled magic into their horn, and fired a beam of magic at the Pegasus much to her shock to which she took a steep vertical climb to evade the beam of magic, stopped mid-air, and looked down to see the two unicorns disappear in a flash of magic.

“Horseapples!” Scootaloo cursed in frustration as she slammed her hoof on a nearby cloud.

“Would care to explain why you suddenly darted out the window for?” Rarity asked curiously as the Pegasus walked in through the front door.

“I thought I heard somepony and I was right. Two unicorns were running off when I jumped out the window. I was catching up to them when one of them fired a spell at me, I don't know what it would have done to me if it had hit me but I managed to dodge it. Trouble was, by the time I was able to recover from my sudden evasive maneuver, they poofed away in a flash of magic.” The Pegasus explained and stomped on the floor with her right hoof in frustration. “If only I was as fast as Rainbow Dash, I could have caught up to them easily!” The Pegasus exclaimed and sighed.

“Two unicorns you say?” Twilight replied, placed a hoof on her chin with an expression of deep thought.

“Twilight, you don't think it was them that cast the age spell on us, do you?” Cheerilee inquired curiously.

“It's the only explanation that makes sense, Sweetie Belle is clearly not old enough or skilled enough to perform such an advanced spell, but that isn't what worries me.” The unicorn replied as she continued to ponder her thoughts.

“It's the motive behind it, isn't it?” Scootaloo remarked to which Twilight looked at the Pegasus with a weak smile.

“Exactly, leave up to you Scootaloo to be the first to come to that conclusion.” The purple unicorn remarked in high praise of the Pegasus's keen observation.

“This is just great, another problem to add to my list. Not only are my memories left looking like Swiss cheese, but now I've got to cope with being a filly for Luna knows how long! And my little sister is dating a pony nearly three times her age!” Rarity exclaimed in annoyance.

“You are such a drama queen Rarity! For once in your life, shut the buck up and stop being the center of attention!” Sweetie Belle roared at the top of her lungs.

“What's got your mane is a knot? We found out it wasn't you after all. And that's not how you should be speaking to your older sister!” Rarity exclaimed in a scolding tone.

“You know what? I don't care! I'm tired of you not understanding me and Cheerilee's relationship, I'm tired of your being so thick headed that nothing can get through that thick skull of yours, and I’m tired of you making it seem like your problems are worse than everypony else!” The filly roared taking several deep breaths before continuing.

“You think you have it hard?! What the buck do you think me and Cheerilee went through when we were forced to leave everything we knew and loved behind?! Do you even know how hard is it on me to be forced to keep my love for Cheerilee a secret?! Do even even know how hard this is on Cheerilee?!” The filly roared at her sister.

“This is the second outburst by her in the last hour, just how long has she been holding this all in?” Twilight whispered to Cheerilee.

“She's been holding this in since last month. She spoke of some of this to me a few times, but I didn't realize it was this bad. Lets just hope it doesn't end in other explosion of magic like last time.” Cheerilee replied in the same whispering tone.

“The only reason we are here right now is because I, that's right, me, forced Twilight's hoof, put the photograph in Twilight's chest and had her spill the beans to Scootaloo! I could have very easily let her lie to Scootaloo's face! Oh and that dress you found? I put it in there! It was a shot in the dark, but I had hoped that it would bring back those memories of you and Scootaloo! But you know what? I'm bucking done! I'm done with trying to help you when all you do is condemn Cheerilee and my choice to be together!” Sweetie Belle roared, ran to the door, opened it, and slammed it behind her.

Rarity at the moment looked stonewalled by her sister's words and seemed to be unable to speak. The unicorn had no idea her sister was capable of such speech, let alone the fact she was in shock of the fact that her sister had just pointed out every single flaw of hers in one single rant.

“I...Don't know what to say.” The white unicorn remarked in a stunned tone.

“Rarity, Sweetie Belle may be young, but you don't give her enough credit. She's wise beyond her years, and behaves a lot more maturely than other fillies her age.” Twilight commented as she walked up next to Rarity and sat next to her.

“I'm not blind Twilight, I know that she's smarter than she looks.” Rarity replied with an annoyed glance at the purple unicorn before she turned to look at Cheerilee. “Given all that's happened, I won't beat the horsefeathers out of you, but if you come within ten feet of my sister, we are going to have a serious problem, understand?” Rarity said in a threatening tone to the dark purple earth pony whom frowned upon hearing this.

“Rarity, after everything that's happened, after those memories you got back, you still think I'm full of horseapples?” Twilight remarked with a frown of her own.

“I don't know what to think Twilight. And right now, I don't care. The only thing I know for sure at the present time is that Cheerilee has been dating my little sister for the last half a year without my knowledge and has possibly done things with her that would make me sick to my stomach. Cheerilee's only shield right now is my little sister. She would never forgive me if I did something to her. While I no longer doubt that she cares for her, the fact remains that Cheerilee is an adult mare and Sweetie Belle is a teen filly.” Rarity replied in a serious tone as she walked past Twilight and towards the door before she stopped and stared at Twilight.

“I'm going back to my house now Twilight, find a cure for this spell as fast as possible if you would. Come Scootaloo, we're going home.” Rarity said as she opened the door and walked through it to which Scootaloo gave Cheerilee, Twilight, and Applebloom a passing glance before she quickly followed her out the door which closed behind them.

“What..just...happened?” Applebloom asked in confusion.

“That's what I'm trying to figure out Applebloom. Rarity was behaving very out of character just now. I know her and if her mind was completely set on something, she wouldn't hesitate to act on it, regardless of her sister's emotions on the matter.” Twilight replied solemnly.

“You don't suppose that Sweetie Belle's words had a profound effect on her, do you?” Cheerilee asked curiously.

“If they did, we can only hope it was the effect we are hoping it is.” Twilight replied and sighed heavily before she levitated the infant Spike onto her back and walked towards the door. “I'm going to do research on this and ask Pinkie Pie about those two unicorns that Scootaloo mentioned she saw. If there's one pony in Ponyville who would notice two ponies walking into town that she's never seen before, it's Pinkie Pie.” Twilight said softly before she opened the door, walked through it, and closed it behind her.
