Sweetie Belle had a secret love.

Nopony could know about it, not Apple Bloom, not Scootaloo and definitely not Rarity. She couldn´t tell them. She keep a secret from everypony, making excuses, disappearing in the middle of the night and making the Crusaders promise to never spy on her.

It was painfully obvious she was in love. But when other ponies watched her bounce around town with hearts on her eyes, when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon mocked her for drawing hearts on her notebook or even when her own sister asked her about it; Sweetie Belle always kept her mouth shut. SHe will never betray her love.

Only one pony knew the truth. When it came to matters of the heart, Sweetie Belle knew that she could trust her teacher no matter what. Cheerilee was understandably shocked when she first heard the news but she knew a girl only has one first love and that Sweetie´s was pure and innocent. She PInkie Promised to never speak about it (especially not to Rarity) and gave her advice about etiquette and manners, all the ways to have a perfect date with a fancy gentlecolt.

That Saturday Sweetie left her house. She said goodbye to her mom and dad and didn´t visited Rarity at the boutique, instead she headed for the Everfree. A hooded zebra watched her pass by, humming a love song of her own. Sweetie ignored all the shadows and noises, love guided her hoofsteps. She eventually her destiny, the entrance of a mirrored pool covered in mist and standing in solitary duty, covering the hole, its rocky guardian...

"Hi Tom! Did you miss me? I brought all the things we need for our very first date. I brought sandwiches and fruit and juice...I wanted to brought wine because that´s what Rarity would have on a date but Mrs. Cheerilee said that I´m too young for that. So, I made the food myself, do you like it?"

.....

"Oh thank you Tom! You are the best boyfriend ever!"
