Featherweight's Special Somepony

"Ok everypony! See you tomorrow, and don't forget, tomorrow is Hearts and Hooves day!" Ms Cheerliee said as her students were packing up their things and headed out the school house door. Among her students was a colt named Featherweight who started to walk out the door until a filly with a white coat and pink/purple mane and tail stopped him.

"Umm...Featherweight? Can I talk to you about something?" She said with a squeaky voice. He recognized this filly as Sweetie Belle, a fellow classmate and friend at Cheerliee's school house. He has had a crush on Sweetie Belle ever since he first came to the school about a year ago.

"Hi Sw-Sweetie Belle. What is it that you want to talk about?" Featherweight said, being as curious as a cat.

"Are...are you doing anything for Hearts and Hooves day tomorrow?" She said. Featherweight was slightly surprised when he heard his crush say those words.

"No....why do you ask?" He replied

"Well...I wanted to kn...know if you...you...yo-" She immediately turned around and bolted out the door, leaving a confused Featherweight.

"That was strange." He said. "Was she gonna...no I don't think she wanted that." Featherweight said to himself as he left the school house.

At the Carousel Boutique, A sobbing Sweetie Belle was in her room crying over the fact that she couldn't ask Featherweight out. Apparently Sweetie Belle has had a crush on Featherweight ever since he came to the school a year ago.

"Why! Why can't I ask him out!? Now he's never gonna like me!" Sweetie Belle screamed in her pillow trying to calm down. She then stopped crying and started thinking about what to do now.

"What should I do?" She said to herself while she looked around until her eyes went towards a pencil and a peice of paper on a small table. She slowly walked over to the paper and picked up the pencil with her mouth, and slowly began to write.

'This is my last chance. If this doesn't work then I don't know what will.' She thought.

It was nighttime in Ponyville and inside Featherweight's house, Featherweight was on his bed wondering about what happened today.

"Why did she runoff like that? Does she have a crush on me?...I'm not so sure but...maybe I should talk to her tomorrow about this issue." Featherweight said as he pulled the bed sheets over his body and drifted off into dream land.

"Have a great weekend everypony! As well as a happy Hearts and Hooves day today!" Ms. Cheerliee said as multiple fillies and colts left the building. Featherweight goes to grab his saddlebags when he notices a note sticking out. He took it out and began reading it.

"Dear Featherweight..."

"Come to the gazebo. I need to talk to you. It's important."

"From your secret admirer."

When Featherweight read the last sentence, he realized that somepony was in love with him. He had no idea if he should go or not but eventually he decided to go because he didn't want to leave the filly there. He then left the school and began his walk towards the gazebo.

As he was walking to the gazebo, he started thinking about who his secret admirer may be.

"Who could she be?" He said. "Could it be Twist? No I don't think Twist is interested in me. Maybe Apple Bloom? Then again, I heard she was interested in Pipsqueak. What about Scootaloo? But she seems to be more interested in Rainbow Dash, and Wonderbolt stuff then love. Or maybe...no It's not her. She never seemed to be interested in me. It's not gonna happen I just know it, but im not gonna figure it out unless I get there soon." He said as he walked faster to the gazebo.

He got there in about 15 minutes because he passes the gazebo every time he walks or flies home. He remembered seeing Cheerliee talking to Big Macintosh under there once but what they were doing under there remains a mystery to Featherweight. When he got there he saw a picnic blanket, and a basket.

"Now thats strange." he said to himself. "Who would leave a picnic basket and blanket in the middle of the gazebo?" He said trying to figure it out.

"Oh...there you are Featherweight." said a female squeaky voice. Featherweight turned around and saw Sweetie Belle behind him.

"Sw-Sweetie Belle? Why are you here?" Featherweight questioned.

Sweetie Belle giggled at his reply "You're cute when you're slow. I'm here because I gave you the letter to meet me here." Sweetie Belle said.

Featherweight then looked at the note he got in his saddlebags and realized that Sweetie Belle, the filly he was crushing on, is in love with him.

"So Featherweight...wanna have some lunch I made? It's daffodil sandwiches."

"That.....would be nice, yes." Featherweight replied, going towards the picnic blanket to eat with Sweetie Belle. He grabbed his sandwich and started munching on it. He heard that she was a terrible cook, but the sandwich he was eating didn't taste bad at all, probably because she made the sandwich not cook it. After finishing his sandwich, he then asked Sweetie Belle the all important question.

"Do you...do you....have a crush on me?" He asked

Sweetie Belle immediately stopped eating her sandwich when she heard Featherweight's question. She didn't want to awnser at first but she wanted her awnser about his love as well. She put her sandwich down and started telling Featherweight her story.

"...Yes Featherweight I do have a crush on you. Now for how long you may ask? Remember the day when you first came to school about a year ago?"

"Yeah...I remember...."

"I was in love with you on that day since up to here. It all started on that day..."

"Alright everypony, we have a new student so everypony say hello to Featherweight." Cheerliee said just as Featherweight walked in.

"Hello...everypony. My name is Featherweight. I'm very talented at taking pictures. I someday wish for my photography to be popular like in newspaper or something."

"Well the foal free press will start at some point in the spring. Maybe you can be a photographer in there to get a start." Ms Cheerliee said. "But right now, take a seat anywhere you like."

'When I first saw you, I thought you were the cutest and coolest looking colt i've ever seen. You always seemed to be so shy though, Because you barely talk to anypony. When I heard that you wanted to join the foal free press, I wanted to join too not just because I wanted to try to get a cutie mark in newspaper business, but because I wanted to try to talk to you about my love towards you, but...I couldn't do it because I was too shy to do so.'

"So...that's the story Featherweight. I love you and I finally said it to you after so many months." Sweetie Belle said with a proud look on her face.

Featherweight was shocked to hear the entire story, but was mostly shocked by her admitting her love to him. Sweetie Belle's face went from proud to dissapointed when she saw Featherweight's reaction.

"Im...im sorry. I should g-"

"Wait Sweetie Belle. There's something I have to tell you as well." Featherweight noticed a small hill near the gazebo and got an idea. "But first let's pack up the leftovers and go to that hill near the gazebo." Featherweight said, as he was folding the blanket and putting it in the basket. Sweetie Belle wrapped up the remains of the sandwiches in some napkins and put them in the basket on top of the folded blanket.

Featherweight grabbed the basket and flew up the hill near the gazebo with Sweetie Belle behind him. When they got to the top, they sat under the tree that was there a little close together while looking at the setting sun. Featherweight looked at Sweetie Belle who was waiting for Featherweight to tell his story. Featherweight took a deep breath and started telling Sweetie Belle his story.

"When I....When I first saw you at school, I...I thought you were the most beautiful looking unicorn ever. Also, at one point I was walking home and I heard a voice. I looked for it and found you singing while dusting a table with your tail. Your voice was so beautiful and so cute. You never noticed me though because I had to get home, plus I wasn't in an obvious spot."

Sweetie Belle blushed when she heard that, but her blush disappeared when she asked this next question.

"Hold on....what about the day we were on the foal free press? Why did you take those embarrassing photos of me and my friends?"

Featherweight's smile went from happy to sorrow because he too remembered the days of gabby gums.

"Sweetie...what im gonna tell you is truth and I hope that you can forgive me in the end. What happened was that Diamond Tiara black mailed me to blackmail you girls. She told me to document anything embarrassing around the crusaders at one point as it was their first time trying to be news reporters so she suspected that you girls would do a bad first try, and she was right. I didn't want to do it at first, but then she told me that if I didn't take the photos then she would make sure my photography career would end and stay that way. Being a famous photographer is my lifelong dream, but I didn't know what to do at that point so I..I ended up taking the pictures."

Sweetie Belle was flabbergasted when she heard Featherweight's story. She looked at the colt who was starting to shed some tears.

"Featherweight..."

"I didn't know what to do Sweetie Belle. Im sorry...im so so so sorry Sweetie Belle. Can you ever forgive me?"

Sweetie Belle thought about what she should say and told Featherweight four words with a smile

"I forgive you Featherweight." She said as she hugged Featherweight to calm him down. "It's ok. You didn't know what to do back there."They then had let go of each other.

"Thank you Sweetie Belle, I love you with all my heart, but I....but I couldn't admit to you because I was too shy to talk to you. I was also worried if you would reject me or not. But now I too worked up the nerve to tell you my love to you.

Both Featherweight and Sweetie belle were now closer together as they sat under the tree, looking at each other for a while until Sweetie Belle broke the silence.

"Featherweight..."

"Yes Sweetie?"

"Will....will you be my very special somepony?"

"Yes....I will." Featherweight said as he leaned over to Sweetie Belle, his lips meeting her's for the first time. After sharing their first kiss, Sweetie Belle and Featherweight sat under the tree with Featherweight's wing wrapped around Sweetie Belle's small body, watching Celestia's sun set until Luna's moon had risen.

Telling The Good News

Nighttime was starting to come to Ponyville, and both Sweetie Belle and Featherweight knew that they had to get going home or they would get in trouble for staying out too long.

"It's getting late. We should start going home now. I'll walk you home." Said Featherweight as he and his new fillyfriend, Sweetie Belle, started getting up and walking away from the gazebo, and into the streets of Ponyville. From a distance, in a bush, a white grayish colored colt with a black mane noticed the cute couple walking into Ponyville.

"Can I...can I do that as well?" He said quietly to himself.

Ponyville was normally quiet when Luna's moon rises. As Featherweight and Sweetie Belle walked the calm streets of Ponyville they were chatting about the weekend.

"So, got any plans for tomorrow Sweetie Belle?"

"No....usually I go to my friends at our clubhouse to find ways to get our cutie marks." Sweetie Belle replied.

"Thats right. You're part of a society called the Cutie Mark Crusaders right?"

"Right. And we tried multiple ways to get our cutie marks such as zip lining, collecting chickens, making candy, and even sailing."

"And all those ended up in failure huh?"

"Yeah...Would you still love me even if I never get a cutie mark?"

"Sweetie Belle, I love you even if you were a blank flank for the rest of your life" Featherweight said proudly.

Sweetie Belle nuzzled on Featherweight in reply to his statement. When they got closer to the Carousal Boutique, Sweetie Belle asked Featherweight a question.

"Can we go on another date tomorrow? How about the gazebo again at around 5:30 PM?"

"Of course Sweetie Belle that is, if my parents say I can. Hey I got an idea, lets make each other a sandwich and surprise each other tomorrow Featherweight said.

"That's a great idea! Ok then." Sweetie Belle said. As they stopped at the front of the Boutique door, Featherweight was about to say goodbye to Sweetie Belle.

"Well, I guess it's time to say goodb-"

His words were cut short by a pair of white lips meeting with his, which then turned into a hug. She then let go of Featherweight.

"Goodbye Featherweight. I love you."

"Goodbye Sweetie Belle. I love you too. I'll See you tomorrow."

After sharing they're goodbyes, Featherweight turned around and flew towards his home, while waving to Sweetie Belle, who was waving back. When Featherweight was out of sight Sweetie Belle stopped waving.

"Be safe Featherweight." Sweetie Belle said to herself. She then walked into the Boutique, and was shortly greeted by her older sister Rarity.

"Sweetie Belle! There you are! Darling, I thought something happened to you. It was starting to get late." She said.

"Rarity, today was the best day of my life so far." Sweetie Belle said with the biggest grin on her face, ignoring her sister's babbling.

"Really? What happened?"

"I went to meet a certain somepony who I've been crushing on for quite a while at the gazebo, and it turns out, he has had a crush on me too!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Sweetie Belle that's wonderful news!" Rarity said.

"But it gets even better, When he confessed his love to me, we...we became each other's special someponies! We then watched the sunset together." Sweetie Belle said while looking at her sister who had a few tears in her eyes.

"Sweetie Belle...I'm so proud of you. Come here and give your sister a hug!" Said Rarity, as the two sisters as they shared a hug for a while until Rarity let go to ask the name of the lucky colt.

"His name wouldn't happen to be Snips or Snails now would it?" Rarity asked with a shudder as she remembered the day of the ursa minor attack when Trixie first came to the town.

"Those goof balls? No way. The name of my new colt friend is-" They were interrupted by some knocking on the door.

"Sweetie Belle can you get that? I need to go grab something." Rarity said as she went upstairs. Sweetie Belle went for the door and opened it only to find a cross eyed pegasi at the door holding a letter.

"Hello Derpy! What brings you here?" Sweetie Belle said.

Derpy gave the letter to Sweetie Belle. "It's a letter from your folks. Well I gotta go. See ya!" Derpy said as she flew the direction to the post office.

Sweetie Belle went inside as she closed the door to the Boutique, and found Rarity sitting at a nearby table. Sweetie walked over and gave the letter to her older sister.

"It's a letter from mom and dad." Sweetie Belle said as she mentioned their world traveling parents.

"It's probably another how are you doing letter" Rarity said as she opened the letter and found two peices of paper and the letter. Rarity began reading it..

"Dear Rarity and Sweetie Belle,

"We need to talk about something important in Canterlot. It is a family issue so Sweetie Belle must come too. We're not too sure ourselves on what it is but Princess Luna told me to bring the Element of generosity and her relatives to the castle of Canterlot for a meeting. They said that it starts on sunday at noon so be here before that time and make sure Sweetie Belle's teacher knows about this. We should only be there for a few days btw.

Love Father and Mother"

PS: inside is a bit check, and a invitation written by Luna.

"So we gotta be there by noon on sunday Sweetie Belle. I'm not sure what this is all about but we're gonna have to go if it involves the princess." Sweetie Belle on the other hand wasn't very happy with the decision of going to Canterlot.

"But...but I just met the love of my life!"

"I know Sweetie...but I don't have a choice and neither do you."

"But...but..."

"Did you two plan a date tomorrow or something? If not then just tell him the truth at his house."

"Ok...I guess..." Sweetie Belle went up to her room and just went to bed. As she stared at the ceiling, she started worrying about what Featherweight will say about this.

"I hope he doesn't take it too hard tomorrow." Sweetie Belle said to herself as she fell into a deep sleep.

I Don't Want to Leave You...

At a small clubhouse near Sweet Apple Acres, three fillies were inside the clubhouse discussing ways on how to get their cutie marks. One was Scootaloo, Another was Apple Bloom, and the last was Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo was talking about ways on how to get cutie marks while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were sitting down and listened...well mostly Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle didn't really look like she was listening.

"So do you girls have any ideas on how to get our cutie marks? Apple Bloom, maybe you have some ideas?" She stated while Apple Bloom got up to share what she had for ideas.

"Well I got us some good ideas. How about candle making?"

"Um...ok but ennething else on your mind?"

"Well there's..wait what did you say?" Apple Bloom said, confused.

"Ennething else on your mind?" Scootaloo repeated. This was annoying Sweetie Belle, but her friends were to busy to notice.

"Why are you saying it like that?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"Why am I saying what like what?" Scootaloo replied.

"Anything, you're saying the word anything, weird Scootaloo. Why is that?"

"Why is what?"

"You saying the word anything weird!"

"There isnt ennething wrong with the way I say the word enneth-"

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU RIGHT NOW JUST SHUT UP!" Sweetie Belle yelled in annoyance to her two best friends who both looked at Sweetie Belle with a surprised look. Sweetie Belle's mood went from angry, to sad after her outburst.

"I'm sorry I just...have a little too much on my mind right now."

"What happened? Are you being bullied by Diamond Tiara again?" Scootaloo said.

"No its not a bullying problem...it's...nothing of your concern guys don't worry about it." Sweetie Belle said. They already knew about Sweetie Belle having to go to Canterlot for the upcoming week. She started wondering if she should tell them about her new coltfriend Featherweight.

"Hey that reminds me...why didn't you come to the clubhouse yesterday after school? Did you have to go home or something? You did tell us that you had to go to some Canterlot thing right?" Apple Bloom said, while Sweetie Belle just sat silently wondering what to do until she got up to leave.

"I have to get going...what time is it?" Sweetie Belle said while looking up at the clock which read 5:20 PM.

"Oh im gonna be late! Um we'll catch up on this meeting another time girls! I gotta go bye!" Sweetie Belle said as she bolted out the door and to the Carousal Boutique, leaving her friends confused.

"Well that was weird. She only stood for about a half-hour and no longer. Why was she in such a rush?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"Maybe she needed to talk to Rarity about the trip." Scootaloo replied.

"Yeah but she has plenty of time for that. Its only 5:22, plus she doesn't have to leave till tomorrow at noon." Apple Bloom said while wondering where Sweetie Belle could have gone.

"Hang on a second...what was yesterday?" Scootaloo said.

"Hearts and Hooves da- wait... yesterday was Hearts and Hooves day, that day and the day before that she never came to the clubhouse for meetings, and since yesterday was Hearts and Hooves da-" she was interrupted by a knocking on the door. She went to open it to find a white pegasus colt with a jet black mane and tail.

"Oh hey Rumble. What brings you here?" Apple Bloom said.

"Hey Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Swee- wheres Sweetie Belle? Isnt she usually with you girls?" He questioned.

"Thats what we were just figuring out till you showed up." Scootaloo said. Rumble blushed a little in embarrassment.

"Oh im sorry, I guess this is a bad time then." Rumble replied.

"No it's ok. So what do you need to tell us Rumble?" Apple Bloom said.

"Actually, I just wanna talk to Scootaloo if thats ok with you." Rumble said. This caused Scootaloo to become curious, so she decided to go with it.

"Alright, come on let's go outside and chat then." Scootaloo said as she followed Rumble outside while Apple Bloom sat down to figure out why Sweetie Belle was acting strange these past few days.

"She wasn't here yesterday and the day before that, and yesterday was Hearts and Hooves day, but I did overhear her say something about a colt and love." Apple Bloom said to herself as she was putting the peices together until she eventually figured it out.

"I think I got it!" She yelled while Scootaloo and Rumble came back in after talking about what was needed to be talked about.

"Did you figure it out?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yeah. I think Sweetie Belle has a colt friend!" She said as Scootaloo took a minute to absorb the news into her system. After Apple Bloom explained her theory about why Sweetie Belle could have a colt friend, Scootaloo asked her a question.

"How can we be sure though? I mean im no expert on love, but wouldn't we need a little more evidence about this issue?"

"Hey um not to interrupt but can I have a say in this?" Rumble said. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom agreed and listened to what Rumble has to say about this.

"Last night I was walking home from a friends house when I saw a filly and a colt together at a hill near the gazebo. I went to get a closer look and I'm not too sure but I think that the filly was Sweetie Belle. I have no idea about the colt though. I think he was a pegesus?" Rumble stated.

"Then it could be true, maybe Sweetie Belle does have a coltfriend. But why would she hide that from us?" Apple Bloom said.

"Maybe she thought that she wasn't ready to tell us yet. Or maybe that we'd think of her as not one of us anymore." Scootaloo replied.

"Why in the world would she think that Scootaloo? We would never think of her like that, But why don't we find her and talk to her about it? Maybe she's at the Boutique. Let's go." Apple Bloom stated. As she and Scootaloo ran outside and on the path that leads to the Boutique, Rumble was by their side.

"Hey I gotta get home to do something. I'll see you girls later." Rumble said as he went another direction past Sweet Apple Acres.

"Bye Rumble!" They said in unison as he left. The two crusaders continued their way to the Carousal Boutique.

Sweetie Belle walked along the path to Sweet Apple Acres, picnic basket in mouth, wondering how she should tell Featherweight about the upcoming week until she saw a certain white colt with a black mane. She put her basket down to talk to him.

"Hi Rumble. What are you doing near Sweet Apple Acres?"

"Oh hey Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo went looking for you. They think you have a coltfriend and that you kept it a secret from them." Rumble said as Sweetie Belle was surprised by what he said but she wasn't that surprised because she knew they would figure it out.

"Well...I do." She said

"Wait you do?" Rumble said as Sweetie Belle nodded to his reply.

"Well we were right then. So who is the lucky colt?" Rumble said.

"Featherweight. He is my colt friend and a cute one at that." Sweetie Belle said while blushing about it. "I was just on my way to go on my second date with him at the gazebo." Sweetie Belle said. Rumble probably should have chosen these next words carefully.

"Yeah umm about that, please don't be mad at me but umm I think I saw you at the gazebo with a colt yesterday night and I may have sorta told Apple Bloom and Scootaloo that you were with him at the gazebo and they might come here soon." Rumble said as his face met with a white hoof which sent him on the floor in pain.

"Ok I saw that one coming."

"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" She yelled as Rumble got back up to explain that he didn't know who it was he saw. This calmed down Sweetie Belle a little but she was still mad that her date could go interrupted by her friends.

"Sorry for hitting you Rumble but you need to think before you talk next time. Also I didn't mean to snap at you like that."

"It's ok. I sorta deserved it."

"Yeah well I gotta go." Sweetie Belle said as she grabbed the basket and left to the gazebo.

"I do need to think more. I hope Scootaloo can do what I asked her to do. And if she does, then I hope I don't screw it up." He said to himself as he left to his home.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo got to the Carousal Boutique and found the door unlocked, but did not find Sweetie Belle or even her sister Rarity, but they did find a note from Rarity that explained where she was at the moment which was the Wonderbolts Acadamy to deliver a care package with the rest of the girls to Rainbow Dash who is at the time, training to be a Wonderbolt. They found another note in the kitchen from Sweetie Belle.

Rarity, if you get this note when you come back, then I'm still at the gazebo with my colt friend. I'm gonna try to bring him home with me today to properly introduce him to you that way it would satisfy you the way you want it.

Be back by 7 to 7:30. Sweetie Belle

"So that explains everything, Sweetie Belle does have a coltfriend and she's meeting him at the gazebo." Apple Bloom said as she put the note down and walked outside with Scootaloo.

"So what now? Do you wanna go there to see them?" Scootaloo said.

"Well I'm sure she guessed that we know she has a coltfriend so I guess so. But I feel kinda terrible for snooping like this." Apple Bloom said as she had that worry look again.

"I'm pretty sure she knows as well. Besides, I wanna see who the colt is."

"Well, ok but if we get caught, I'm gonna blame you for this." Apple Bloom said as she and Scootaloo walked out of the Carousal Boutique and started walking to the gazebo.

Meanwhile at the gazebo, Sweetie Belle was waiting patiently for her colt friend, both excited, and scared. Excited to be going on another date with her love, but also scared that he may take the news harshly.

"I hope he doesn't take the news harshly. I don't want him to think of me differently. I also hope that he won't hate me for finding my friends here if they come." She said to herself as she looked around to try to find Featherweight coming, but no luck. After about 5 more minutes, she found him walking towards her direction, picnic basket in his mouth, and when he noticed the white filly of his dreams, he walked faster to her until he got to the gazebo. He put the basket down, and was immediately greeted by Sweetie Belle with a hug, which he gave back. They then released from the hug to chat.

"It's been a while since we last met." Featherweight said. Sweetie giggled at his statement.

"It's only been a full day Featherweight." She replied, both of them laughing. Sweetie Belle then stopped to tell Featherweight the news.

"I need to tell you something." She said.

"Sure Sweetie Belle. Anything."

Meanwhile, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo got to the gazebo to see who Sweetie Belle's new colt friend is. They hid in the bushes to the left of the gazebo near the exit.

"Alright, let's see who Sweetie Belle is hiding us from." Scootaloo said while Apple Bloom looked as though if she doesn't want to get involved.

"Why exactly do we need to see who this colt is?" She replied. Scootaloo didn't awnser. Instead she unfolded a few leaves to get a better view of the colt, and saw a skinny looking pegasus with a brown mane and tail.

"No way!" She said. Apple Bloom perked up to her reaction.

"Who is it? Snips?"

"No."

"Snails?"

"No."

"Pipsqueak?"

"No Apple Bloom! Just take a look will you?" Apple Bloom went to take a look and saw the colt with her mouth agape.

"Isn't that Featherweight? The editor-in-cheif of the Foal Free Press?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"As Big Mac would say, eeyup. I kinda didn't expect him to be Featherweight either." Scootaloo stated as they closed the bushes.

"Well, we saw who he was, can we please go now before she sees us?"

"Yeah I guess. But still, I never thought it was gonna be Featherweight. I was going to think that It was gonna be Snails, or Teacher's Pet or maybe even Button Mash." Scootaloo kept rambling on about who else Sweetie's colt friend could have been till Apple Bloom stopped her.

"Seriously though, we gotta get going befo-"

"Too late Apple Bloom." Said a squeaky voice. They both turned to see Sweetie Belle and Featherweight standing in front of them.

"Oh hey! What a coincidence seeing you two here and...were in trouble aren't we? Said Scootaloo.

"Well actually no. I sorta expected to see you two here after a certain friend of yours told me he saw us two last night and told you two." She said.

"We're sorry." They both said. Sweetie Belle and Featherweight both looked at each other and decided to accept the apologies. Featherweight had an idea, and whispered it to Sweetie Belle's ear. She nodded and smiled in agreement.

"But since you guys are here, can you help us with something? We can't do it with two ponies. Featherweight said.

"Oh. What do you want us to do?" Apple Bloom replied. Featherweight flew up to the gazebo and grabbed a camera inside his picnic basket and signalled everypony to come to the gazebo. When they got there, Featherweight equipped Apple Bloom with a nevk bracelet to help hold the camera steady and gave her the camera next.

"Can you take a picture of the two of us please? It would mean alot to me and Sweetie Belle. Plus I chose you because Scootaloo, no offense but you can be a little shaky with these things." Featherweight said.

"I get that a lot don't worry." She replied. As Apple Bloom was setting the camera to get a good shot, Scootaloo stayed far and behind the camera so she wouldn't get in the picture. Apple Bloom focused the shot on Sweetie Belle and Featherweight who were sitting together in front of the tree of the gazebo.

"Ok on my signal, 3, 2, 1...and smile!" She said as Sweetie Belle and Featherweight smiled for the shot. After the flash, the camera released the picture. They both ran up to Apple Bloom to see how the picture came out. When it was done developing, the picture showed the happy couple smiling and sitting close together.

"Wow that came out great! Thanks!" Featherweight said as he unequipped the camera from Apple Bloom's neck and safely put his camera back in his basket.

"Don't mention it! And I suppose you want me and Scootaloo to leave now huh?"

"Well...yeah." Featherweight said. Apple Bloom said to her friend that they need to go and leave them to be be themselves.

"Aww but I wanted to see them kiss!"

"Scootaloo!" They all yelled with Featherweight and Sweetie Belle blushing.

"I'm kidding I'm kidding sorry!" Apple Bloom then took her friend and left the gazebo while Sweetie Belle and Featherweight we're waving goodbye to their friends. Sweetie Belle then began to tell Featherweight about where she will be for the next few days.

"So I'm gonna be gone for the next few days in Canterlot, but I will write to you when I'll be coming back." Sweetie Belle said. She then started to tear up.

"What's wrong?" Asked Featherweight.

"It's just...I'll miss you. I hate to leave you but I gotta go to this thing..a-and I'm worried tha-" Her words were cut short by a wing covering her small soft body which pulled into another hug.

"Are you worried that I might go to another filly or hate you for leaving while you're gone? Sweetie Belle you are a silly filly. I would never leave you." Featherweight leaned foward and kissed Sweetie Belle on the lips, still hugging her with his wing.

"Never?" She replied

"Never." He responded as they once again watch Celestia's sunset, this time from the gazebo.

During nighttime in Ponyville, at the Carousal Boutique, Rarity was working on a dress when she hears knocking from the front door.

"It's open." She replied as the door opened to reveal two ponies. Sweetie Belle and Featherweight.

"Sweetie Belle! There you are! You came early." Rarity said as she looked at the clock which read to be 7:01 PM. She noticed the pegasus colt next to her and smiled.

"So this is the colt who wants to be with my sister." She said while looking at Featherweight, who got scared.

"Oh don't be scared I'm not mad. I'm actually very happy that my sister is dating a colt your age. What's your name?"

"Featherweight."

"Well Featherweight, my name is Rarity, and as you can see, I am the owner of this beautiful shop, and I design and style dresses and suits for the ponies in Ponyville." She said while Featherweight was admiring the dresses Rarity made as well as the pink wallpaper in the room.

"So, what do you do outside of school?" Featherweight looked at Rarity to answer her question.

"I take pictures, and I am the editor-in-cheif of the Foal Free Press." At the sound of that, Rarity was suspicious about the colt.

"You don't post lies like that nasty Diamond Tiara did right?"

"Oh no I would never do that. It would be terrible for my newspaper career. We make sure every story can be true to it's word." After a little while, Rarity decided to trust Featherweight's words.

"Then you are in my OK zone to date my sister." Rarity said as Featherweight and Sweetie Belle happily looked at each other in reply to Rarity's statement.

"Sweetie Belle, why don't you two go upstairs while I finish this dress?"

"Okay. Come on Featherweight, I'll show you my room. Sweetie Belle said as they both went up the stairs. When they were upstairs, Rarity thought to herself about the colt.

"They indeed make a cute couple. I should make Featherweight a nice suit for him. But maybe I should wait for that in the future. Plus mom and dad still need to see him as a colt responsible enough to take care of Sweetie Belle."

"And this room here is my room." Sweetie Belle said as she opened the door to her room. It was decently sized for a room such as hers. There were pictures on the left wall which showed her, Rarity, and another showing what Featherweight assumed to be her parents. To the right of the room were multiple stuffed animals and toys, as well as her bed. In the middle of the room was a table with peices of colored paper and crayons. Featherweight looked around in amazement of the room, mostly her stuffed animals collection.

"So do you like my stuffed toy collection? I collected a lot of rare ones such as the Daring Do one." She said while pulling out a Daring Do stuffed toy. "Rainbow dash one time wanted to buy this from me and Rarity for 50 bits when it was originally 22 bits." Sweetie Belle and Featherweight both laughed at her little story, and both of them sat on the bed, sitting close together.

"This bed is so soft...like you." Featherweight said while Sweetie blushes in reply. They both noticed that the time was 8 PM and that Featherweight has to get home due to curfew reasons.

"Well, the date has to end now. Thanks for showing me your room, and sister, and this marvellous toy collection!" He said while Sweetie Belle was holding his hoof. They then nuzzled together for a little bit. Until Sweetie Belle broke the silence.

"I don't wanna leave you tomorrow. I wish I can talk Rarity out of this but-" she was about to cry when Featherweight stopped her.

"Shhh. It's ok Sweetie Belle, I will miss you too, but you need to go, and it's ok I understand everything. Now I gotta go, but I'll see you tomorrow okay?" When Featherweight finished his sentence, he wrapped his wing around Sweetie Belle for a good 2 minutes slowly soothing her with his presence. During that time, in the hallway that has Sweetie Belle's room, Rarity walks past her room and notices her and Featherweight sharing a moment of tenderness. She silently awes at this, then continues past Sweetie Belle's room.

The next day at the Ponyville Train Station, Rarity and Sweetie Belle were waiting patiently at the station waiting for the next train to Canterlot. After about 30 minutes of waiting, the train finally arrives.

"Finally. Now mother and father should be at the station in Canterlot to meet with us about the meeting so let's get on the train and get going." Rarity said. As she and Sweetie Belle walked near the train stop, Sweetie Belle hears somepony calling her name. She turns around to find Featherweight coming straight towards her. He then catches up to her.

"Good, I'm not too late. I wanted to give you something before you left. Featherweight said as he handed an envelope to Sweetie Belle. She opened It to reveal a picture with an address on the back. The picture was the two of them from yesterday sitting together smiling.

"I made a copy for you, and put my address on the back so you can write to me about your trip." Sweetie Belle once again gave Featherweight another hug.

"I'm going to miss you."

"It will only be a few days Sweetie."

"I know. But I'll still miss you." She was interrupted by Rarity, who told her to get on the train before it leaves. She released Featherweight from her hug and left to get on the train. As the train left to Canterlot, Featherweight was waving to Sweetie Belle who waved back until she was out of his sight.

"Be safe Sweetie Belle."

It's This Friday.

During the long train ride to Canterlot, Rarity was busy checking over the bits she had, while Sweetie Belle was looking outside the train window as she watched buildings pass by.

'Oh Celestia, I am so bored. I just wanna be with Featherweight and stay by his side, but I guess even couples need a break. Maybe I can have Celestia send him a direct letter.' She thought to herself. She was interrupted by the stopping of the train.

"Sweetie! Come on! We gotta find mother and father." Rarity ordered as her little sister left to the train door. They had looked around the Canterlot station until they spotted two specific ponies, a white stallion with a brown mane and tail wearing a sombrero and a pink mare with a purple mane and tail similar to Rarity's. Magnum and Peral, their father and mother respectively.

"Well hey they're girls. We haven't seen eachother for a while." Magnum said while giving Sweetie Belle a hug. Peral did the same with Rarity.

"Father! Mother! It's been a while." Rarity said.

"Why don't we go somewhere to eat before we have to go to the castle for the meeting?" Peral said to which her family agreed too.

Meanwhile back in Ponyville, Featherweight was in his house, in his room, bored out of his mind. He had no homework to do, his brother was out in the Wonderbolts Acadamy still, and his friends were doing other things. All he could do now was lay in his bed.

"Well today is starting to suck, then again, it is a sunday so that could be it. I wish Sweetie Belle was here next to me though. Her soft white fur, her beautiful mane, and-" he was interrupted by some knocking on the door.

"Come in." He said. The door opened to reveal his father Aerial Ace, a pure white coated pegesus with a dark brown mane and tail, and light brown eyes. He had a blue wing for a cutie mark which shows his passion for doing aerial tricks.

"Oh hi dad." He said flatly

"Hi son. You sound bored."

"Well when you have no homework on a sunday, and no friends to play with, you get pretty bored in no time." Featherweight replied.

"Is it about your fillyfriend?" He asked. Featherweight nodded in reply. "Don't worry, she'll be back soon." He notices a picture next to his bedside. "Is this her?" Aerial Ace said.

"Yeah that's her dad."  Featherweight replied as Aerial Ace observed the picture of the two of them sitting together.

"She is one cute looking filly. Sorta reminds me of your mother. Speaking of which, did I ever tell you how me and your mother met?"

"No but I would like to hear about it" Featherweight said.

"Well it all started back in flight camp when I was your age."

'I was one of the best flyers there. The only one beating me was I think her name was Rainbow Dash. But that's not the case. I was also very handsome, and all the fillies wanted me, even Rainbow Dash. I always had to get away from them somehow so I use the Bathroom as a getaway. When I did use it at one time I heard what sounded like a filly crying behind me. I left out of the bathroom and went behind it to find your mother Sky Drop, slightly crying over something.'

"Are you okay?" Aerial Ace asked. Sky Drop turned to see Aerial Ace with a worried look on his face.

"No I'm..I'm just hated that's all."

"Now why would you say that?" Aerial Ace said.

"Because no matter how hard I try, My teachers hate me whether I pass a test or not. I can't take the hate anymore." Sky Drop said.

"What's your name?"

"Sky Drop."

"I'm Aerial Ace by the way. Now listen Sky Drop, Ignore what they say and do your best. Don't let Teachers decide your fate. Which teacher hates you anyway?"

"Mr. Featherdance."

"Oh him? Well forget what he says. He hates everyone in the camp. Even the other teachers."

"But that doesn't solve my other problems."

"What other problems?"

"That I'm a weak flyer. I'm a terrible flyer. Maybe the worst. What also doesn't help is the fact that I'm getting bullied as well."

"Well like I said earlier, don't let petty thoughts go into your head and stop you from achieving your goals. I can see it in your eyes, you will achieve greatly. Just ignore the bullies." He said proudly. Sky Drop was letting his words into her brain and decided.

"Wow, you are right. I need to pony up and take it!" Sky Drop said.

"That's the spirit!" Aerial Ace said. "Now I gotta go, I'll see you later. Hope you get better. Bye!" He said while flying away.

'Your mother took the words I gave her and did what I told her too, ignore the bullies and the hate. Mr. Featherdance even started giving her a chance. Then the day came in which was the best day of my life. Your mother was doing fine in the middle of a flight test until one of the bullies decided to push her and cause her to lose her balence and plummet and almost fall to her death. I managed to save her in time and the bully got expelled for interrupting her test and for almost killing her. Everypony was relived that she was ok. She then retook the test and passed with flying colors. She said if it wasn't for me she would have became a failure in life. We then became eachother's special somepony.'

"And that was how me and your mother met."

Aerial Ace said. His wife came in when she started to hear that story. Sky Drop was a light brown pegesus mare with a matching light brown mane and tail, and black colored eyes. She had a rain cloud cutie mark with a drop of rain which shows that she is good with weather.

"Are you you telling him that story Aeriel?" She said.

"Yeah, he should know about it sometime sooner or later so I told him about it." Aeriel replied. Sky Drop just smiled. She was happy that her son Featherweight is knowing the story about her and her father.

"You know son, if Sky Drop and I never met, you would have never exist, and your brother as well. I wonder how he's doing at the acadamy." Aeriel said.

"Wow, that was some story dad, I never knew mom had to deal with bullying too." Featherweight said. Sky Drop left the room to check on the mail.

"Yeah, listen, if you see bullying happening, call a teacher, or stand up for yourself and help." His father told him. Featherweight got that message quite often but he understood it. Sky Drop came back into the room with a letter which was from Featherweight's brother.

"Guys! He wrote back!" Sky said loudly.

"Calm down hon, open it." Aerial said while Sky Drop hastely ripped open the letter and began reading.

Dear family,

How is everything going? Thing's are goin OK at the acadamy. Some bitch (pardon my language) at the acadamy almost caused a disaster during cloud kicking. She used a tornado to get rid of them but she almost caused us and her partner Rainbow Dash's best friends to be demolished. Me and the guys saved her friends while she stopped the tornado. The bitch was expelled, and Raimbow became a leader to us, which i accepted well. I hope to see you guys again real soon!

Snowflake aka Roid Rage

Sky Drop put the letter away. She and her family were glad Roid was doing well in the acadamy. Featherweight then was going to go somewhere because he comepletely forgot to ask Sweetie Belle a question before she left. He figured her best friends would be able to answer his question.

"Where are you going son?" Sky Drop said.

"I need to find Sweetie's friends and ask a very important question. I completely forgot to ask her last night."

"Well...ok but be home before dinner." His mother said sternly. Featherweight left for the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse.

In Canterlot, Rarity, Sweetie, Magnum, and Peral were at a small restaurant outside in a big table, eating lunch and catching up.

"Wow, you had alot of fun adventures with your friends huh Rarity?" Magnum said. As Rarity and Magnum were talking about Rarity's adventures with the mane six, Sweetie Belle sat there, barely eating her sandwich she requested. Her mind was set on Featherweight. Her mother took notice.

"Sweetie, are you okay? You barely touched your food." Her mother said worryingly.

"It's nothing. I just...miss someone that's all." Sweetie Belle said flatly.

"Who?" Her mother said, Magnum now listening. Sweetie Belle took a deep breath and started telling her story.

Featherweight made it into the crusaders clubhouse but found no one surprisingly. He went to Sweet Apple Acres nearby to find Apple Bloom drawing outside.

"Hey Apple Bloom."

"Hey Featherweight. How's it going?"

"Nothing much. Hey where's Scootaloo at? Doesn't she hang with you?"

"She couldn't come. Something about going to talk to somepony. So why are you here?"

"Do you by any chance know when Sweetie Belle's birthday is? I totally forgot to ask her yesterday. An-"

"You don't know when her birthday is?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"No...is that a bad thing?"

"Well...depends but probably yes."

"Oh...well can you tell me?"

"Alright but I'm going to only tell you once so listen carefully." Apple Bloom said sternly.

"Im listening."

"This Friday."

Silence fills the air.

"Wha-really?"

"Yeah. Im not kidding." She said.

"Well uh...thank you for telling me I guess." Featherweight left while saying goodbye.

"Crazy colt he is, but very nice. Hope he gets her something great." Apple Bloom said.

Back at Featherweight's house, he was on his bed with a pencil and paper writing down ideas.

'I can't believe I didn't ask Sweetie. Celestia I'm such a dumb colt. But this is good because i have plenty of time to figure out what to get her.' He thought to himself while sitting on his bed, writing ideas for birthday presents. He then realized another fact.

"That day will be the first week since we have been special someponies."

We Are Alot Alike (RumbleLoo)

Note: This chapter takes place during the chapter "It's This Friday."

Today was just another Sunday to Rumble. He barely had anything to do today plus he was by himself. His parents were at work while his older brother Thunderlane was at the Wonderbolts Academy. He wishes that his brother was home. He would usually have fun ideas to do with Rumble like tag, hide and seek, and other fun things.

"Oh Celestia, I am so bored." He said to himself. He was laying down in his bed in his room with nothing to do. His room was a little small for size. The walls were colored pale white. It had a desk for homework, a bed, some Wonderbolt posters, and some toys on the floor. The colt also had some comics he already read countless times. He was sorta used to being bored like this because of his working parents and brother.

"It would be nice to have some company though." He said as he grabbed another comic book. This one was about a legendary blue creature that could possibly rival Rainbow Dash in speed, at least to him.

"Ohh I'm so nervous..." Scootaloo said to herself as she was walking a path past Sweet Apple Acres. She had a saddlebag and a nervous look on her face. She kept on walking for quite a while now until she had finally found a brown house.

"Ok.." Scootaloo said then she took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing." She said as she got to the door.

Rumble was so bored out of his mind that he thought he was gonna sleep. But then he got a knock on his door.

"Strange." He said. "I wasn't expecting any visitors today." As he got up and went to his door he was wondering who wanted to see him. He thought it was the mailmare Derpy or maybe his parents got off early, but when he opened the door he was surprised by who it was.

"Sc-Scootaloo?" He said. He was surprised to see her there.

"H-hi Rumble." She said while rethinking her idea to visit him. This was a bad idea. I just know it. She thought. They stared at each other for a good minute until Rumble decided to invited her in.

"So...are you gonna come in or.. "

"Oh..yeah." she said while walking in. Rumble showed her the way into his room.

"So, what gave you the idea to come here today?" Rumble said.

"Well, you told me that you get bored at your house often because your brother is at the academy, so I came for a visit." Scootaloo said not telling him the second reason.

"Right well there isn't much to do other than read some comics or...are you ok?"

"Yeah but I kinda need to use the bathroom. Where is it?" Scootaloo said.

"Two rooms right of my room." Rumble said as Scootaloo walked to his bathroom. While she was in there, Scootaloo was thinking about how to tell her feelings to Rumble.

What should I say? Should I strike up a conversation with him? Or leave now? She was having trouble thinking about what to say. Rumble was also wondering if she likes him or not in his room.

I wonder if she really likes me or not. I always did like her because of her awesome tricks and cuteness but I don't know if she likes me or not. Rumble thought of this for a while until Scootaloo came back in.

"Ok, so now that that's out of the way, what comics do you read? I read about the super fast creature."

"No way! I read those too! Did you read the one with the bald scientist?"

"Or the one with the cool magic boards?" They kept chatting about the comics they read and how many things they have in common and other stuff, most of it being things they had in common for a good period of time until it was time for Scootaloo to go.

"Well this was fun and all but I gotta go now." Scootaloo said while putting her comics away in her saddlebag.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" Rumble questioned. Scootaloo nodded and both of them left for Scootaloo's house.

It was around nighttime and they had kept walking and chatting while walking past Sweet Apple Acres.

"Wow, who knew we had that much in common huh Scoots?"

"Yeah..." Scootaloo said flatly. "Hey um Rumble?"

"Yeah?"

"There was a second reason why I came over to your house."

"Why?"

"Well...I...I..."

"Yeah?"

"I sorta like you."

There was silence and two blushing foals.

Rumble didn't know how to react to Scootaloo's words. He just had a shocked face while blushing. Scootaloo started to look sad and was about to leave.

"I-Im sorry. I think I made a mista-"

"Wait Scootaloo." Rumble said as she looked back. "There's something I need to tell you as well." Scootaloo looked at him with hope in her eyes. Rumble decided that it's now or never.

"I sorta like you too. I always thought you were one of the cutest fillies in the school. Plus you're nice, cool, and like I just said, cute."

Scootaloo was at a loss for words. She was also very happy about it. "Well I always liked you because you're so cool but smart at the same time. I also like your mane. And I...I...love you."

Rumble couldn't believe it.

Scootaloo just told him that she loves him. He was flabbergasted by this for a while until a pair of lips met his for the very first time. It then turned into a hug.

"I love you too Scootaloo."

"We really are alot alike."

"Yeah...we are."

While they shared their moment, Apple Bloom saw this from her room upstairs. Scootaloo took notice of her.

"Rumble? Look." Scootaloo said as They both looked at Apple Bloom's window. Apple Bloom was surprised to see them together and went downstairs to see for herself. Both Rumble and Scootaloo stood still as they saw Apple Bloom come up to them.

"So first Sweetie Belle gets a colt and now you Scootaloo? Wow."

"How long have you seen us Apple Bloom?" Scootaloo said.

"Long enough. I'm proud of you Scootaloo."

"You are?"

"Eeyup." Apple Bloom said. She stared at them for a few "Well I gotta go and I'm pretty sure you two should skedaddle too. You two play nice!" She said while running back to her home.

"We will!" Scootaloo said while waving.

"Let's get you home." Rumble said.

"Okay." They continued their walk to Scootaloo's home, holding wings. Apple Bloom on the other hand was in her room wondering something.

"Can I do it as well?"

Cleansed Silver

It was morning in Ponyville, but it's that morning again. Monday morning. Almost everypony in Equestria hates a Monday morning but most ponies come to terms with it. It happens to everypony at least once and right now it's happening to Featherweight...again. He was of course used to this, getting up early in the morning to go to school just to figure out what's gonna happen later on in the upcoming week. He would have been more excited if Sweetie Belle was going too but she is currently in Canterlot. After waking up, and eating breakfest, and packing his bags, Featherweight left for school and while doing so, he bumped into his friend Rumble.

"Hey Rumble. Good morning."

"Hey Featherweight. How was your date with Sweetie Belle? Oh and umm sorry fo-"

It's ok, Sweetie told me everything. Were you trying to figure out ways on how to get a fillyfriend?" Featherweight questioned.

"How did you know?"

"It's actually a little obvious." Rumble blushed at his responce.

"Ohh im just teasing you man. So you need help getting a filly? Which one?"

"Actually I already got a fillyfriend."

Featherweight stopped in his tracks

"You did!? When?"

"Last night. It was amazing." Rumble said while blushing.

"Wow...so who's your new fillyfriend?"

Meanwhile outside Cheerliee's schoolhouse

"Wait...are you messing with me again?" A silver colored filly with glasses said.

"No Silver Spoon I'm serious. The blank flank got a coltfriend." Her pink colored friend said. Silver Spoon was speechless.

"Wow, I don't even know what to say Diamond Tiara."

"But I know what we could do."

"Congratulate them?"

"No you dumb idiot. We're gonna bully both of them and ruin their relationship." Diamond Tiara said. Silver Spoon had her mouth agape.

"Diamond Tiara! Are you insane!? To bully them is one thing but to actually ruin a relationship? That's going too far!" Silver Spoon said. She started to think back at all the times she and Diamond Tiara bullied the crusaders.

"No. I wanna ruin their relationship. She stole my colt."

"What do you mean?" Silver Spoon said.

"What I mean is that she stole my colt. She messed with the wrong pony." Diamond Tiara said. Silver Spoon knew what she meant by this.

I thought she was long over that. she thought. "Diamond, he was looking at Sweetie Belle that day, not you."

"No! He wants me! It's that stupid blank flank that got in the way. I will have him back!" Diamond Tiara screamed.

"But he wanted to be with Sweetie Belle and vice-versa! Don't go and do something you're gonna regret. I'm not going to help you on any of this by the way." Silver Spoon said. Diamond Tiara slowly turned her head to Silver Spoon.

"Hey you know what?"

"What?"

"Get out of my face."

"Wh-what?"

"Get out of my face. I don't need you're silver flank! Get lost!"

With those words, Silver Spoon left quietly, leaving Diamond Tiara alone. She could not believe it.

"I can't believe were not friends anymore. But I am not going to help her ruin such a nice relationship! That's just stupid! They have every right to be with each other!" She noticed Featherweight and Rumble coming her direction.

"Wow Rumble, impressive. I never thought you would actually get Scootaloo and I'm proud of you." Featherweight said. His black maned friend nodded in responce. They notice Silver Spoon but without Diamond Tiara.

That's strange. Usually Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara are always together before school starts. he thought. He went up to her to ask why.

"Hi um Silver Spoon. I was wondering why you're not hanging with-" he notices Silver Spoon face which looked like it was gonna break into tears. Rumble took notice as well.

"Are you ok? You look like you're gonna cry." Rumble said.

"I...I...I'm so sorry..."

"Sorry for what? You didn't do anything, did you?" Featherweight questioned."

"No its not that. It's just.." She took a deep breath and told Featherweight and Rumble everything. After doing so she broke into tears but not loud ones.

"Hey hey it's ok." Featherweight said.

"No it's not. I feel bad now, and I-" she couldn't finish her sentence, and Apple Bloom and Scootaloo came to see what's going on.

"What the hay is goin on here?" Apple Bloom said. Featherweight gave her and Scootaloo the news.

"So Diamond Tiara hates you now huh?" Scootaloo said.

"I guess. Look, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo,...I...I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused to the both of you and Sweetie Belle as well. Where is she anyway?"

"She's in Canterlot for some reason. It involes the princesses." Featherweight said.

"Woah. For how long?"

"A few days. Most likely she'll be back by Thursday."

"By the way Silver Spoon." Apple Bloom said.

"What?"

"We both decided to forgive you for the troubles you gave us."

"Really!?" She said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah because 1. You at some points were not trying to bully us as much as Diamond Tiara was. 2. You weren't involved with the foal free press when Diamond Tiara was running it. 3. You gave us this info about Diamond Tiara going after Sweetie Belle and Featherweight so now we can prepare to be ready." Scootaloo said.

"Well, I'm glad you two accepted my apologies but I still need to tell Sweetie. And I...gotta go." Silver Spoon said while she was about to leave until they all heard a well known voice.

"So now you're gonna talk to the losers?"

They all turned to see Diamond Tiara behind them leaning on a tree with a look of both disbelief and pity.

"Silver Spoon, what are you doing?"

"Oh..h-hi Diamon-"

"Save it Silver. I saw and heard the whole thing. I can't believe you went and betrayed me!" She screamed. Silver Spoon didn't know if she should or even could say anything. Diamond Tiara then ran off from the group leaving Silver Spoon heartbroken and crying. Apple Bloom came up to her to try to calm her down.

"Hey...hey it's ok."

"N-no its not, I'm pr-pretty sure I just lost my only friend."

"What do you mean by that?" Scootaloo questioned, starting to pity the former bully.

"She was the...the only friend I had, the only pony who understood me."

"It's because you two were the only "higher class" ponies in the school right?" Featherweight assumed.

"Yeah...how did you k-"

"A trait from my father."

"Figures...but still, I feel like I may never have another friend again." Silver Spoon said glumly. Apple Bloom nodded to her friends and they nodded back in agreement.

"How about us?"

"Wha-huh?"

"I said, why not us? I'll be your friend." Apple Bloom said.

"So will I, and I bet Sweetie Belle may even forgive you." Featherweight said.

"So will we." Both Rumble and Scootaloo said.

"So even after what I did to you guys well...mostly the crusaders but still, you're willing to forgive me and even be friends with me?" They all nodded in response.

"But...why?"

"Because you're not like Diamond Tiara." Apple Bloom said.

Silver Spoon knew that Apple Bloom was right.

She was not like Diamond Tiara. She never made fun of history, or printed lies on newspaper, she would never even think about doing those things. She had decided that she will change to be a better pony from that point. She then went up to Apple Bloom and said to her friends..

"Thank you...friends."

Could Singing be my Talent?

During her time in Canterlot, Sweetie Belle had been living in a room in the castle that looked Sweetie Belle had nothing to do, she had nopony to play with and she was bored to the point where she drew lines on paper for no reason but then, she remembered something Featherweight told her.

"Your voice was so beautiful and cute." she remembered him saying. This made Sweetie Belle wonder if she should try to sing more often.

"I do have a passion for singing." She said to herself. She then started to sing to herself more often and it eventually grew to be a little habit for her but she learned to enjoy it, as well as her family.

She later on decided to tell her coltfriend about how she is by sending a letter to her coltfriend Featherweight.

"Oh how he will love to hear me sing." She said.

It was a Tuesday afternoon and Featherweight just got home from another day of school. And as he walked into his house, he was greeted by his mother Sky Drop.

"Hi Featherweight. How was school?"

"Same as it is."

"Boring?"

"Pretty much but overall it was okay."

"Well a letter came in the mail for you. It's upstairs in your room. It's from your fillyfri- Featherweight?"  Sky Drop said. Featherweight was gone before she could even finish.

"Ahh, young love." She said to herself.

Featherweight ran up the stairs and into his room to find a letter on his bed. And like his mom said, it was from Sweetie Belle. He hastily opened it up and started to read it.

Dear Featherweight

How are things in Ponyville? I'm sure they're fine. As for me, it's not bad here its just that it can be so BORING here. I have absolutely nothing to do and Rarity and my parents have stuff to do for the princesses and I can't help Rarity or my mom and dad because well...I can sometimes get in the way and...well doesn't matter. Because I have nothing better to do, I'm practicing a new thing. Singing. And I sing pretty beautiful like you said. Maybe I might get a cutie mark in singing. Well I gotta practice more. Do you miss me? Because I miss you, but I'm coming back on Thursday afternoon so tell the girls for me please? Thanks! Can't wait to come back home and see your face.

From your love

Sweetie Belle <3

PS: I forgot to tell you that my Birthday is coming up this friday. Sorry if this came a little late but if you can't get me a present then that's ok. All I really want from you is...well I'll let you try to figure that one out.

PSS: I love you.

Featherweight was happy over the fact that Sweetie Belle is trying to find her cutie mark in something she is liking. He went over to the picture of the two of them and smiled. He then grabbed a pencil and paper and started to write back to Sweetie Belle.

Dear Sweetie Belle

I'm glad that you're doing something and enjoying it but I have some good news and some bad news. I guess I'll start with the good news. My best friend Rumble and your best friend Scootaloo became an official couple. That's the first of the good news actually. The second good news is that Silver Spoon is now a friend but the reason why leads up to the bad news. On monday, Diamond Tiara somehow figured out that we're a couple and told Silver Spoon but she also said that she wanted to ruin our relationship because apparently she loves me and thinks that I love her back but that's because the day we first saw each other, she was sitting in front of you so she thought that throughout this whole time, I wanted to be her soulmate and vice versa but obviously, that's not the case. She found out about us being together and all and now she wants our relationship to be ruined and for her to be with me! When Diamond Tiara told Silver Spoon about what she saw and what she was gonna do about it, Silver Spoon did not want to take part in her plan and as a result, Diamond told Silver to get out of her face and the two of them were not friends anymore. Silver Spoon told me, Rumble, and your fellow CMC what happened. She even apologized for all the trouble she caused to you, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo. Unfortunately for her, Diamond Tiara heard it all and ran off. Afterwards she told us that she lost her only real friend (in this case Diamond Tiara) and that she may never have another friend like her again, we then decided to give her a chance, and became friends with her, and so far, she is enjoying her new friends, and would love for you to accept her apology. I don't know what Diamond Tiara is plotting but so far, she hasn't even attempted to bully anypony so maybe she has finally gave up but me, Rumble, the girls, and Silver Spoon, are watching her because I will never let her harm you in any way! Other then that, I can't wait to see your smiling face when you return!

From your colt

Featherweight :)

PS: I sorta knew about your birthday because Apple Bloom told me.

After finishing his letter, Featherweight sealed it in a white envelope with Sweetie Belle's address (for now) and went downstairs to mail it. He then left to inform the girls but not before grabbing Sweetie Belle's letter and informing his parents.

At the CMC clubhouse, Apple Bloom, Silver Spoon, Scootaloo and Rumble were all there just...well...hanging out. Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon were chatting about random stuff and Scootaloo and Rumble were sitting down together reading another comic about  the blue creature. The comic was about his new metal counterpart made by the evil scientist.

"Who do you think is gonna win huh scoots?" Rumble said.

"The blue one of course!" Scootaloo replied.

"They're both blue silly."

"Oh. Right. I mean the real one."

"Umm.....you may wanna be more specific."

"Sh-shut up!" She yelled.

"Hey you know I'm just messing with ya scoots." Rumble replied. Scootaloo replied by kissing him on the cheek. There was a knock on the door.

"It's open." Apple Bloom replied. The door opened to reveal Featherweight.

"Oh hey Featherweight. What are you doing here?" Apple Bloom said.

"Hey AB. I got some news to share with you."

"What?"

"Sweetie Belle wrote me a letter that I got in the mail. It told me how she was doing and that she was practicing singing more. It also told me that she will return on Thursday afternoon."

"Oh cool!" Apple Bloom replied, happy to hear her friend is doing well. Featherweight noticed that Scootaloo and Rumble weren't listening at all and were more interested in each other and the comic. He walked over to try to get their attention but he didn't catch it. Getting an idea, he pulled out an air horn and silently warned Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon to cover their ears. They did so while he pushed the trigger causing a loud piercing sound which caught the attention oh both ponies but not in a friendly way.

"Are you Insane Featherweight!?" Scootaloo yelled while rubbing her ears.

"Yeah dude what's your problem!?" Rumble yelled in agreement.

"Did you hear anything about what I just said?" Featherweight questioned.

"Something about practicing return singing at noon?" Rumble said. Featherweight facehoofed.

"No. Sweetie Belle's been practicing singing and she's coming back on Thursday afternoon." He replied.

"Oh. Well I'm a idiot." Rumble said. Scootaloo giggled at his statement but pecked him on the cheek as an apology.

"Well I see you two are pretty happy together." Featherweight said.

"You bet!" Scootaloo replied.

"So..what cha doin?" He said casually.

"Reading a comic." Rumble said.

"It's about this awesome blue spiky creature who runs super fast and stops this scientist from taking over his world. He has some cool friends like one who's yellow and looks like a fox with two tails and another who's red and strong and has these cool gloves with spiked knuckles. He even has this pink girl who sorta looks like him chasing him in the story." Scootaloo said, stopping for breath.

"Sonic the Hedgehog? Oh yeah I know him. He's been getting pretty popular lately ever since the comics came in about two years ago." Featherweight said.

"Hey guys." Silver Spoon said. Everypony turned their attention to her.

"I read Sonic as well, and look what I found flying around today." Silver Spoon said as she reached in her saddlebag in the corner for something. She then pulled out a folded flyer and unfolded it.

The flyer read "SONIC THE MOVIE" and showed a picture of Sonic, his yellow fox friend, his red friend with a brown hat, the evil scientist, and a metallic creature resembling Sonic.

Scootaloo and Rumble both had their mouth agape while Apple Bloom and Featherweight looked interested.

"Holy Celestia..." Scootaloo said.

"He's getting a movie and we didn't even know..." Rumble added. They then had looks of excitement and started getting very hyped up. Apple Bloom warned them to try to calm down but they couldn't.

"In a little more then a month, it's coming out." Silver Spoon said. Scootaloo and Rumble got even more hyped up, much to Apple Bloom's annoyance.

"Canwehavetheflyer!?" They both said, scaring Silver Spoon.

"Umm...yes?" She said softly. They then hastely took the flyer and returned to their spot to examine it more.

"Wow...you two scare me sometimes." Apple Bloom said.

"You and me both Apple Bloom." Silver Spoon added.

"Ditto." Featherweight added as well. They both got up and left out the door towards the direction of Rumble's house while saying,

"Wegottagonowbye!!!"

"They just keep getting weirder and weirder." Featherweight said.

"I think I should get going home too." Silver Spoon said while putting on her saddlebag and walking out the front door.

"Bye guys!" She said while leaving. Apple Bloom and Featherweight waved back. They were now the only two left in the clubhouse.

"Maybe I should go too." Featherweight said.

"Wait Featherweight. Ah need your help and ah need it now." Apple Bloom said.

"Um, ok. What do you need help with? Homework?"

"No...It's just that...can you promise not to tell anypony what ah'm gonna say to you right now?"

"Um sure. I won't tell anypony. Ok tell me what's the problem."

Outside the clubhouse, a earth pony colt very slightly smaller then the average colt trotted towards the clubhouse. He had multiple brown polka dots on his coat, and had a brown mane similar to Featherweight's.

"Oh, I hope she's here." He said to himself. As he was about to open the door, he heard two voices. One was one he reconized and the other was new to him.

"I hear Apple Bloom and..." He peered to the window and got a look at them. He realized that the other voice was Featherweight. He then listened to their conversation.

"To be honest, ah like him and he's cute but ah'm not sure if he likes me." Apple Bloom said

"Did you try to just talk to him?"

"No..ah'm too nervous."

"Well try to speak to him whenever you have the chance and don't give up. Just do it. By the way, which one do you like? You never said his name."

"...Pi-"

She was interrupted by a knock on the door and when she awnsered it, she fainted but was caught by-

"Oh hey Pipsqueak." Featherweight said. Pipsqueak greeted him back and Apple Bloom was out.

"Apple Bloom...Apple Bloom wake up." Pipsqueak said while slowly shaking her. She then started to wake up.

"Pi...Pipsqueak?" She said softly, getting back on her own hooves.

"Yeah it's me. I came by to ask you something."

"Did you hear anything ah said about...about you?"

"So it was about me." He said to himself "...more or less."

"Yeah...Pipsqueak...ah...-" she couldn't finish her sentence.

"Go on, say it. I know you want too." He said. She then took a deep breath and said,

"Ah love you."

Pipsqueak reacted by going up to her and kissing her on the lips. He then gave her a hug.

"I love you too Apple Bloom. You are the cutest filly my eyes have ever seen.

"And you're one of the bravest colts ah met. After that wholr nightmare night incident a year or two back, ah grew to like you more."

"Well my work here is done. You two be careful now ok?" Featherweight said.

"We will." Pipsqueak said. Featherweight left the clubhouse and the newly found couple.

Two days later

Featherweight was waiting at the station for Sweetie Belle's return from Canterlot. He had not seen her come into school all day and after school, she and her sister Rarity were not at the Carousal Boutique, so he thought that they must still be on the train.

"Oh why is it taking so long?" He said to himself. After fifteen minutes of waiting, the train finally arrived. He surveyed the train to find Sweetie Belle or Rarity. Eventually he finally found her. And waited for her to come out.

Sweetie Belle and Rarity walked out of the train. Rarity looked pretty tired but Sweetie Belle looked fairly decent but was tired as well but not as much as her sister. Sweetie Belle looked around for Featherweight and she eventually found him.

"Sweetie Belle!"

"Featherweight!"

They both ran for each other and when they met, they met with a hug.

"I missed you much." Sweetie Belle said.

"Same here." He replied.

"If you two want to spend the day together, go ahead. I gotta go home and relax for a while." Rarity said to the couple.

"Ok. Hey Sweetie Belle. I got something to show ya back at the CMC clubhouse. Wanna go?"

"Of course." She said. They both walked together, happy to be back together, to the CMC clubhouse. Little did they know that somepony else was following them.

An Unfriendly Reunion

As the young couple walk the path to the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse, Featherweight was telling Sweetie Belle about his time while she was out in Canterlot and Sweetie Belle was telling him about her time in Canterlot.

"And Snips and Snails had to go to the hospital after that but they're fine now." Featherweight said as he was finishing his story.

"Wow...so tell me Featherweight, what's the surprise?" Sweetie Belle said to her coltfriend.

"I can tell you one thing. It's not your birthday gift." He replied.

"Well duh Featherweight. my birthday is tommorrow, not today."

"I know that."

"Then why did you tell me it's not my birthday gift?"

Featherweight was at a blank at this point.

"I don't know."

"Well can I ask you one thing?" She said.

"Sure what is it?"

"Are you worried about Diamond Tiara?" She said with a little fear?

"A little. But remember what I said about that in the letter."

"That no matter what you will never let me be harmed by Diamond Tiara?"

"Yup. I would never let that kind of thing happen to you Sweetie Belle."

"I know that...but I'm scared." She said.

"And I understand that but I'm also not gonna let her put a hoof on you or let her insult you." he replied. Sweetie Belle smiled, then moved closer to Featherweight while they were still walking.

"Just promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Don't let her hurt you as well." She said in a low voice.

"I won't."

Meanwhile at the CMC Clubhouse, Apple Bloom, Pipsqueak, Scootaloo, Rumble, and Silver Spoon were at the clubhouse awaiting Sweetie Belle and Featherweight's Return. Appe Bloom and Pipsqueak were talking to each other about something while Scootaloo, Rumble and Silver Spoon were planning on how to get some money to get tickets for the movie. The back wall had a banner on it that said "WELCOME BACK!" on it.

"Why didn't ya tell me earlier?" Apple Bloom said to Pipsqueak.

"I was...nervous sorry." He said softly.

"Its ok. Ah was nervous too when ah tried to tell ya." She replied.

"So when is Sweetie Belle coming i gotta go soon."

"She should be here any second now." Scootaloo said. "Also I'm not tryin to be mean or ennething but if you two wanna talk about your relationship and stuff can you do it somewhere else?"

"Darn it shes doing it again." she thought. "And this is coming from a filly who "loves seeing ponies kiss."

"Hey I just wanted to see if she would actually do it that day ok?"

After more constant bickering, there was a knock on the door.

"I think that's them." Rumble said as Pipsqueak opened the door to reveal Sweetie Belle and Featherweight.

"Ay Featherweight! Its good to see you again!" He said as he gave a hoof bump to his friend.

"Good to see you too Pip." He said as he walked in with Sweetie Belle who was greeted by her friends.

"Scootaloo! Apple Bloom! Oh it's so good to see you again!"

"Likewise Sweetie Belle." Apple Bloom replied. Silver Spoon tried not to look at her as she was still nervous about Sweetie Belle still hating her or not.

"Hey Silver Spoon." Sweetie Belle said.

Silver Spoon flinched. "Oh..h-h-hey Sweetie Belle."

"Are you okay?"

"Well...did Featherweight tell you about my apology?"

"Yeah..."

"I truly didn't mean to make fun of you or call you a blank flank. I just wanted to have a friend to hang with and have fun with...but then I realized that...I chose the wrong side."

"Because your not like Diamond Tiara." Sweetie Belle said.

"So...does that mean-"

"Yeah I forgive you. If my friends can forgive you then so will I. I'll even be friends with you." Sweetie Belle said.

"Oh thank you so much Sweetie Belle." Silver Spoon said with tears in her eyes. She was then hugged by the white filly and returned it while softly sobbing.

"Don't cry Spoon. It's ok. We all forgive you right guys?"

"Yeah!" they all said in unison.

"No its just that...I'm so happy...to have real friends. Ones that don't go and bully other ponies. It feels...great." She said as her tears started to fade. She then asked Featherweight a question.

"So uhh...how did you guys meet up together? I kinda wanna hear it from you because..."

"Say no more. I know what you mean...Well....ok why not?" Featherweight said, as Silver Spoon and the rest of their friends joined in to listen.

"You all want to listen too?"

Everypony nodded in responce and Sweetie Belle sat in the middle of the room with Featherweight following.

"Ok ok. It all started when I first came to your school..."

Meanwhile Diamond Tiara was walking up to the CMC Clubhouse as she had some business to take care of.

"I don't know how she did it but she did." She said to herself. "But I do know that I'm gonna figure out what she did to my colt." She added. As she went up to the door, she could faintly hear Featherweight talking, and pressed her ear to the door to hear better

"We then watched the sunset till the moon rose and I couldn't be any happier then I already am standing here with you Sweetie Belle."

"Wow...I want to see you guys kiss."

I think that was Scootaloser. She thought as she was still listening.

"Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle said, with Featgerweight looking at her with surprise.

"What? I'm dying to see it happen! Anypony wanna agree?"

"Ya know what? At this point, ah agree. Ah wanna see it too." Added Apple Bloom.

"Are you serious?" Sweetie Belle said.

"I'm curious too." Pipsqueak added.

"So am I." Rumble said, joining his friend. Silver Spoon looked at the couple with curiosity.

"Well I did want to see it in action at one point..." She merely stated.

"Are you really gonna make us do it?" Featherweight said.

Everypony nodded and then repetitively shouting at the couple to kiss.

As she heard that, she slowly peered her head to get a look at Featherweight and Sweetie Belle without being seen by them or their friends. What she saw next sickened her.

Featherweight and Sweetie Belle kissing, followed by a few "awws" and cheers by their friends, as well as a "I knew they could do it." By Scootaloo.

"She dared to kiss MY COLTFRIEND!!?? she thought angrily, as her expression went madder and madder. "Thats it!" She said. And she then kicked the door to the clubhouse open causing everypony attention to come to her.

Everypony in the clubhouse was shocked to see the angry pink filly especially Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon who both scared of what she was gonna say or even do.

"What are you doing here?" Scootaloo asked.

"I'm here to take back what's mine loser." Scootaloo wanted to talk back but was stopped by Rumble.

"What do you mean by "yours?" Pipsqueak said. Diamond Tiara turned to Featherweight.

"You should all know what or should I say, who I want."

At that moment everypony facehoofed because they know what Diamond Tiara means. Featherweight then stood up to try to talk some sense into her.

"Diamond Tiara...I don't wanna dissapoint you, but-"

"No! I love you and I wanna be with you!"

"But I don't!" He yelled.

"Why not?"

"Because I love Sweetie Belle and she loves me."

"No! I know exactly why you "love" her." Diamond Tiara turned to Sweetie Belle. "You...you're manipulating him!"

"What?" Sweetie Belle said.

"That's right! You're controlling him so that you can have him for yourself! You worthless blank flank!"

"But I don't know how to any kind of magic yet!"

Diamond Tiara slightly flinched at this. She was right. She doesn't know alot of magic, but that didn't stop her from trying to get Featherweight.

"Then umm...your older sister is doing it."

"What!? What makes you say that?"

Diamond Tiara was at a blank.

"Are you guessing random things that will make Sweetie Belle look bad in front of Featherweight or are you trying to win him over?" Rumble said. "Cuz if you are, you're doing a bad job at both."

"SHUT UP! You're an idiot yourself! As well as you!" She pointed to Pipsqueak.

"What the heck did they do?" Featherweight said.

"They love worthless blank flanks! That's what!" She screamed. Everypony in the clubhouse was shocked when they heard what she said and it got the colts blood boiling. Especially Featherweight's. Sweetie Belle's and Apple Bloom's eyes started to well up but they managed to hide it for now. Scootaloo's eyes were also welling up but not as much as her friends. She was more angry then hurt. Pipsqueak held Apple Bloom and Rumble held Scootaloo but Featherweight didn't hold Sweetie Belle. He just stared in shock.

What makes you say that!?" Pipsqueak said.

"They all don't have cutie marks so they all don't have points to their lives! That's why they're worthless."

Featgerweight was slowly starting to get more pissed off inside when she kept on insulting his friends and Rumble and Pipsqueak were not to far behind. Apple Bloom still held it in but Sweetie Belle was starting to leak. Silver Spoon was trying not to catch Diamond Tiara's attention but She already saw her when she kicked the door open.

"And you...why did you decide to hang with the losers?"

"I...I see th-them as friends a-and vice versa."

"Well I don't! I see them as losers not friends! And I definitely don't ever want to be friends with you again! Your just as worthless as they are! Your cutie mark is a damn spoon for Celestia's sake!"

Those words hit Silver Spoon like slaps in the faces. She could not believe that after everything they've been through, she just went and said that. She couldn't even try to hold in her tears that were slowly leaking from her eyes behind her glasses.

"Aww. Are you all gonna cry because you all suck? Well guess what? I don't give a flying feather! Speaking of feather," She looked at Featherweight who wasent even looking at her, or anypony in the room. Just the bare floor.

"Now do you see why you should leave these losers and be with me Featherweight?"

He didn't awnser or move at all.

"...Is that a yes?"

Still not saying anything or moving.

"I..." He said, closing his eyes.

Everypony looked at him. He still had his head down.

"I can't believe what you just did. You just...said all of that..."

"Well yeah. Because its tru-"

"Shut it..." Featherweight said with a angry look on his face, still looking on the floor.

"What did you just say to me?" He looked up at Diamond Tiara with anger in his face.

"You think that you can just barge in here and talk a whole bunch of garbage about us colts liking the CMC is stupid, and then call the girls worthless because they don't have their cutie marks yet? Then you go and tell your former friend that she sucks because she decided to become friends with us?"

Diamond Tiara was surprised to see him like this. She never expected him to say something like that to her. She continued to stare into the brown eyes of the pegasus.

"Um...I-"

"And you think that after all that, I'm just gonna leave them like I never knew or cared for them and love you instead? You think everything in the end is gonna be all sugar and rainbows for you?"

"Um...yes?" Diamond Tiara weakly stated.

"Well guess what? I don't like you...in fact, I hate you. I don't even wanna look at your face anymore. Your just a spoiled selfish brat who cares nothing about love or even friendship for that matter."

"Wh-what?"

"Yeah, you heard me. Just...go now before I really get mad. I'm done having this conversation with you. Leave."

"Well..f-fine! S-see if I care! L-losers!"

Diamond Tiara was on the verge of tears but quickly ran away so they could not see her cry. After dealing with the filly, Featherweight let out a tired sigh and turned to Sweetie Belle along with the rest of her friends. Silver Spoon wasn't even looking towards them. Instead, she was staring into space.

"Everypony...I'm sorry you had to see that."

"What are you talking about? That was awesome. you stood up to her for all of us." Scootaloo said. All but Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon nodded in agrement.

"Thanks guys. I just felt that I may have overdone it a little."

"No not at all. She deserved it. She thinks she can act all tough and what not. Somepony had to put some soap in her mouth and shut her up." Apple Bloom said. Pipsqueak was startled by her words.

"What? It's true! We just saw it." Everypony giggled at her remark while Featherweight looked over to Sweetie Belle who looked like she needed some support.

"Sweetie Belle, if you need to let it out, I'm here for you. Go ahead I won't mind."

She couldn't hold it any longer and ran to Featherweight and sobbed in his shoulder while Featherweight hugged Sweetie Belle back, stroking her mane.

"Wh-why did she say those th-things about us? Why did she call me a worthless b-blank flank?"

"I don't know Sweetie Belle. But I'm gonna make sure she never hurts you again like that. Your not a worthless blank flank. You are a very beautiful filly with a good future ahead of you. Shh...Its ok Sweetie Belle I'm here." Sweetie Belle slowly started to calm down as she was hugging her colt friend. Featherweight then looked over to his friends.

"Hey guys. I kinda want a moment alone with Sweetie Belle so we're gonna go. Will you guys be fine?

"Yeah go ahead Featherweight." Pipsqueak said. Featherweight looked over to Silver Spoon who was still staring into space.

"Hey Spoon! You ok?" Featherweight's voice snapped Silver Spoon out of it.

"Yeah...I just need to take a walk and think."

"Will you be ok?"

"Yeah..I'll be fine. Bye guys." She said while leaving out the door, her friends saying bye while she left. Sweetie Belle and Featherweight left too after that.

"We're gonna go too." Rumble said. "I gotta do something important at home."

"And I gotta practice my flying." Scootaloo added.

"Ok then. We'll stay behind and chat." Apple Bloom said. After sharing their goodbyes, the pegasus couple left the clubhouse.

"I hope Sweetie Belle and Featherweight will be okay." Scootaloo said.

"Don't worry. They're gonna be just fine as long as they have each other." Rumble said.

"Yeah your right. I just hope Silver Spoon is ok."

Curing Depression

Silver Spoon could not believe it.

After everything Diamond Tiara and her went through, It all went down the drain.

Even though she did the right thing, and made the right choices, she lost her only first friend she ever made.

"And now...I don't think I'll ever get another chance to be her friend again." She said to herself. She looked up and realized that for the past few minutes she was walking around Sweet Apple Acres aimlessly. She then set out to go to the nearby park to try and sort this out with one question in mind.

"Am I...worthless?"

A while later she got there and sat down in a nearby bench to clear her mind and relax. It was a little late so there were not many ponies in sight. She did notice however a familiar looking brown colt with a matching brown/orange mane, Along with a set of brown eyes to be complete. He had a cutie mark which seemed to be some sort of video game controller.

"Is that..Button Mash?" she thought. She decided to ignore him. Truth be told, she does has a slight crush on him, but it usually went away whenever she used to hang out with Diamond Tiara.

As she kept thinking over her thoughts, she did not notice the colt come up to her.

"Hey..um..are you Silver Spoon?" He said. Silver Spoon's head shot up when she heard him.

"Oh..hi there Button..what are you doing here?" She said in a  somewhat dull tone. Button took notice of her tone.

"I came here to get some fresh air. What about you?" She didn't answer.

"Are you ok? Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Um...actually..it would be nice if you can sit down and chat for a while."

"Um..ok." Button Mash said as he sat down with Silver Spoon. When he sat down, she noticed something different about him.

"Didn't you use to wear a beanie or something?" Silver Spoon questioned.

"Oh that? I grew out of it a while ago." He replied. "Ok so what do you wanna talk about?"

"Um...I don't know."

"Actually I got a question for you."

"What?"

"Is everything between you and Diamond Tiara going ok?" Silver Spoon flinched at the sound of Diamond Tiara's name.

"Is that..a no?" He questioned. Silver Spoon took a deep breath and told him everything that happened.

When she was done. Button was fairly surprised by what happened, and Silver Spoon's eyes looked like they were gonna leak.

"Woah...what a story." He said.

"And now..I feel alone."

"Why? You got plenty of friends now. And ones who you can trust and are nice."

"I know that but...I think shes right."

"About what?"

"My cutie mark being worthless."

"No way! Shes jus-wait, not to be rude but what does your cutie mark represent?" He questioned.

"It shows that I'm good at making silverware such as forks, knives, and you guessed it, spoons."

"That sounds pretty cool."

"Yeah I-wait what?" She said. Confused.

"It sounds like a cool talent to me. It lets you be creative."

"Do you really mean that?" She said. Softly blushing.

"Yeah."

"Wow...yo-you're the first pony other then my family to say something like that about my talent." She said, now blushing more.

"Wow..."

"Yeah...well I think I should go home now."

"You want me to walk you home?"

"I..I would like that." She said as they left the park and to her house. About fifteen minutes later, she and Button had arrived at her house and are now standing at her door.

"Button?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for talking to me today about that. It really helped."

"No problem Silver Spoon. I have to go no-"

"Wait. Um...can we meet again tomorrow? Same place?"

"Um...sure." He said.

"Oh. One more thing."

"What?" What happened next was sorta unexpected for Button Mash. Silver Spoon went up to him and gave him a peck on the cheek and then gave him a hug. She realesed him soon after and was soon panicking when she saw his confused look and blushing cheeks.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry...I-"

"No...um...its ok Silver Spoon...Look, we'll talk about this tomorrow. I have to go now. See ya." He said as he walked away from Silver Spoon.

"Oh Celestia, did I make a mistake? More importantly, Does...does he like me?" She kept on thinking about this as she went inside her house. As Button was walking down the ally, he kept thinking about Silver Spoon's recent action.

"I wonder if she likes me...but do I like her?" He said to himself.

Meanwhile, as Celestia's sun begins to set, Featherweight and Sweetie Belle were walking along the path to where their relationship first became official. The tree near the gazebo. Once they have arrived, they decided to sit down and watch the sunset. Tears were rolling down Sweetie Belle's once again which Featherweight took notice of. He gave her a wing for comfort.

"Hey. Don't listen to a word she says. You're a sweet filly." He said.

"No its not that, I'm just worried that...I may never get my cutie mark. Maybe she's right. Maybe I am worthless..."

"No your not Sweetie Belle. Maybe you might not have your cutie mark yet. But that's not gonna change my opinion about you."

"Do you really mean that Featherweight?"

"Of course Sweetie." Featherweight said. Sweetie Belle then gave him a hug which he returned. He then released her from the hug with a thought in mind.

"Hey...didn't you say your were practicing singing during your trip to Canterlot?" Sweetie Belle immediately shot up at this.

"Y-yes..." She replied nervously.

"What's wrong?"

"Well...I never sung in front of anypony...just myself."

"Oh..Because I wanted to hear that beautiful voice of yours sing." He said while blushing.

"R-really?" He nodded in reply. "...well...I guess I could try...bu-but what should I sing?"

"Anything you want Sweetie. Anything."

She sat there pondering over what she should sing until she thought of something.

"Well..I could sing that lullaby Rarity used to sing to me when i was younger..."

"If you want too, go for it."

"Well since nopony else is here except for us...ok I'll sing. But only for you."

"Ok Sweetie Belle." He said as she got into a more comfortable position.

She closed her eyes and slowly began to sing the lullaby known as "Hush Now, Quiet Now" which was sung to her by her older sister Rarity, and by Fluttershy when she had the CMC sleepover at her cottage a few years ago. The sound of her voice was a beautiful one for Featherweight, and Sweetie Belle sung perfectly without messing up or having her voice crack. The voice was echoing and harmonizing through his ears in an perfect soft tone, not too loud, not too quiet. Just perfect. At that moment, there was a small flash emitting from Sweetie Belle which put Featherweight into a state of surprise. When Sweetie Belle ended her singing, she saw the surprised face of Featherweight.

"Did I do good?" She said.

"Sweetie Belle...Y-Your.."

"I did a bad job didn't I?" She said as her face slowly went from happy to sad. "I don't deserve to sin-"

"No. L-look at your flank." She looked down and could not believe what her eyes are seeing.

There it was. Her cutie mark. A heart with a musical note resting on her white flanks.

She was starting to cry again but not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. She once again hugged Featherweight.

"It happened. It finally happened. I was waiting for this for so long and now, it happened. And I wouldn't have done it withouut you. Thank you Featherweight."

"Your welcome Sweetie Belle. I'm glad for you. Congratulations." She was staring into his brown eyes with her green eyes. Still hugging him, she went in for a kiss which Featherweight returned with his lips. This kiss however was more passionate and long then their past kisses lasting about a minute and a half or so. They felt as though if time froze for that moment.

"Wow." They both said in unison as they ended the kiss.

"That felt like the longest kiss we ever did. Even longer then our first." Sweetie Belle said.

"I know...I love you Sweetie Belle."

"I love you too Featherweight."

"You know...the girls are gonna be jealous."

"Maybe...but right now all I care about is you."

"Likewise Sweetie." They then sat there watching the sun set once again.

Back at the Carousel Boutique, Rarity, Aerial Ace, and Sky Drop were at the kitchen table discussing something over some tea. Next to them were two suitcases.

"So you won't mind right?" Aerial Ace said to Rarity.

"No I won't mind it at all. We just gotta tell him and see if its ok with him." Rarity said as she heard knocking on the door. She went to open it and found Sweetie Belle and Featherweight.

"Oh hello its you two again! We were just talking about you." Rarity said.

"Wait who's we?" Featherweight asked as Rarity let them in the house and into the kitchen.

"Hello son." Aerial Ace said. Featherweight leaned over from the door to find his parents at the table.

"Dad? Mom? What are you doing here?"

"Well actually your mother is a very good friend of Rarity, and we were discussing something before you came here." Aerial Ace said.

"What was it you were discussing?"

"Honey, remember what we said about me and your father having to go somewhere soon for the weekend?" Sky Drop said.

"Yeah. Today's the day you have to go right?"

"Yes. And we found you someone who can take care of you for the time being." Sky Drop added.

"Oh cool. Who did you find?"

"Your looking at her." Rarity said as Featherweight looked over with confusion.

"You? Um...are you su-"

"Don't worry son. It's ok with her."

"Yes. I don't mind watching you over the weekend. If I can watch three rambunctious fillies then I'm pretty sure I can watch a filly and a colt. Also there's no school tomorrow because its Alicorn day tomorrow." Rarity asked.

"Oh yeah thats right! How did I forget?"

"Is it ok with you son?" Aerial Ace asked. Featherweight had thought about this for a second before awnsering yes.

"Sure. I don't mind. I kinda wish you guys told me earlier though."

"I know. Sorry son." Sky Drop said.

"It's alright mom."

"Excellent. Do you need to get anything from home before we leave or are you good son?" Aerial Ace asked.

"Actually, there is one thing. I'll be right back." Featherweight said as he left.

"Wait son! You need the keys to the house first!" Aerial Ace said as he followed his son.

"Well then...thank you so much Rarity for accepting this on short notice." Sky Drop said to Rarity.

"Oh its no trouble at all Sky."

"Are you sure? I-I can pay you some bits...

"Hmm...you don't have to do that. But then again I could use the money for extra silks." She said.

"How does thirty bits sound?"

"I can deal with that."

"I'll give it to you when we return home ok?"

"Ok Sky." Rarity then noticed something different about Sweetie Belle. Something that put her in shock.

"Oh my Celestia! Sweetie Belle! Y-you got your cutie mark!" She screamed.

"You didn't notice it earlier?" Sweetie Belle replied, Rarity shaking her head afterwards.

"How did you get it?" Rarity said as Sweetie Belle began her story.

"It all started when we returned earlier from Canterlot..."

Meanwhile at Featherweight's house, Featherweight was rummaging through his closet looking for items he may need for the upcoming weekend.

"Lets see here. I need my saddlebag, a toothbrush that I have no idea how that got in there, and uh...where is it?" Featherweight said as he looked and looked.

"Take your time son. We're not gonna go this instant." His dad called from the hallway. He then walked in to find his son in the closet.

"Are you looking for that gift you got for Sweetie Belle?"

"Yeah...well It is the gift but its something else." Featherweight said. Still searching.

"Oh...well what is it? Maybe I can help you find it." Feathrweight turned around to look around his room for the item.

"Its uhh...right there!" He said as he pointed to a silver beaded necklace with a red jewel hanging off his wall.

"Isn't that the necklace your grandmother gave to you about a year ago?" His father questioned.

"Yes...but I remember the words she told me when she gave it to me..." He said while looking at the necklace. "When you find that one mate, you will know what to do." He slowly said.

"I didn't know what she meant by that when she gave it to me but now I know."

"So your gonna give Sweetie Belle the necklace then?" His father questioned again.

"Yes dad. It's the perfect gift. I know for a fact."

"Ok then son. It's your decision after all...I'm proud of you."

"I know you are dad. Thank you." Featherweight said as he looked for the box that came with the necklace and placed it gently in the box. He then put the box in a safe place in his saddlebag.

"Ok dad. We can go now. I'm ready."

"Alright son. Turn off all the lights and lets go." His father commanded. Featherweight made sure all the lights in the house were off before leaving.

"And that's how I got my cutie mark." Sweetie Belle said. Finishing her story.

"My little boy did all of that for you? Oh my...he really does love you doesn't he?" Sky Drop said.

"Well I for one think that he did a very brave thing for you by satanding up to that nasty Diamond Tiara. The nerve of her to go and say those things about you and your friends." Rarity added.

"Did someone mention my name?" Featherweight said as he and his father walked in the Boutique. He was then greeted by a hug from Rarity, which looked like it was squeezing the life out of the colt.

"Ohhhhhhhh...Thank you so much for doing that for my sister! You really are such a nice colt Featherweight!"

"Rarity...Choking... Not breathing..." He tried to say. Rarity then immediately released Featherweight.

"Sorry...I kinda got a little carried away there..."

"Its ok. Just be careful next time." He replied. Later on night time was closing in on Ponyville and Featherweight's parents were getting ready to leave and were at the front door of Rarity's house.

"Ok Featherweight you know the drill. Were gonna be gone until the weekend on Sunday. Again, sorry if staying here was a little late on you." Aerial Ace said.

"Na. I'm okay with it. You two just do whatever you guys gotta do."

"Ok then honey. Be a good boy for Rarity while we're gone, and play nice with Sweetie Belle." Sky Drop said.

"Mooooom..." Featherweight moaned in embarrassment.

"I'm kidding son. Now we gotta go. We love you Featherweight." Sky Drop said. Both Parents had left the house after everypony said their goodbyes. Once they had left, Rarity looked at the clock which read 8:01.

"Hey um Featherweight? Can you please follow me into my work room? I have to ask you something." Rarity said. Featherweight obeyed her and followed her into the room.

"Wow...he's gonna be staying here with me?" Sweetie Belle said to herself. She then left to her room to patiently wait for Featherweight.

About fifteen minutes later, Featherweight came into Sweetie Belle's room.

"Oh there you are. What did she need you for?" Sweetie Belle Said.

"She wanted to measured my size for some reason. Probably to make me a suit or something." He replied.

"I still can't believe your sleeping over at my house." She said excitedly.

"I know. So...what do you wanna do?"

For the next few hours, Sweetie Belle and Featherweight had chatted, drawed, and played some games until it was time for the two of them to go to bed. Rarity was tucking in Sweetie Belle in her bed while Featherweight was laying down next to her in a sleeping bag Sweetie Belle let him borrow.

"Ok young ones. Goodnight. And Sweetie Belle. You got a special day coming up."

"I know Rarity." Sweetie Belle replied.

"Ok. Well goodnight."

"Goodnight Rarity." They both said in unison as Rarity turned off the light in Sweetie Belle's room and closed the door leaving it slightly cracked for light.

"Featherweight?" Sweetie Belle said.

"Yes?" He replied.

"I feel a little scared..."

"What for? I'm right here."

"Yeah but...I kinda...sort of...want you to...sle-" She didn't finish her sentence as Featherweight got up and slid into the bed under the covers next to Sweetie Belle.

"I thought you would never ask." He said to his lover.

"Thank you...wanna snuggle with me?" Sweetie Belle

"Of course." He replied. Sweetie Belle gently nuzzled on Featherweight's body as Featherweight hugged Sweetie Belle back, stroking her mane in the process.

"Goodnight Feathers." She said.

"Goodnight... Sweetie. My sweetheart." He said. They had then stood in the position they are in as they had slowly started to fall asleep.
