Author's Notes:

Man two The Fabled Warrior chapters in two days. Man, I must be a roll once again. Well, I decided for this chapter to do a little more character building for Moon Star, since I haven't done a chapter exclusively for her in a while. I do hope you like it. So as always: Comment, like, follow, share and tell. Hope to see you all once again real soon.

Moon Sweets
Moon Star POV

The sound of a bell ringing from the Ponyville schoolhouse filled the ears of the students and Cheerilee. She smiled as she turned to her students.

"That's it for today, remember to study for your test in a few weeks." Said Cheerilee

Students cheered as they packed their bags and rushed out of the schoolhouse. My friends and I walked out together smiling that class was over once again. We walked down the steps and moved towards the town of Ponyville. I was happy to go home as I heard my mother was going to be home later tonight, a whole week early. But I was also pleased to spend time with my friends after another day of school.

"Well, what now?" I asked

"Well, I have to head home. My parents weren't too happy about the score on our last math test. If they said I don't get a good score on our upcoming test, they'll ground me and won't let me hang out with you guys or Rainbow Dash." Said Scootaloo

"Same here." Said Apple Bloom

"You know if you two studied, instead of winging it, you wouldn't have problems." Said Sweetie

"But Rainbow says studying is for eggheads, and Rainbow Dash isn't an egghead." Said Scootaloo

"Scootaloo, you can be an egghead and cool at the same time," I said

"Yeah, look at Xavier, he's cool and an egghead." Said Sweetie

"I guess, but he still isn't as cool as Rainbow, even with the wicked eye of his." Said Scootaloo

The rest of us rolled our eyes. Once we reached the town, we said goodbye to Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. It was now just Sweetie Belle and me.

"I think that they both don't understand the concept of the importance of studying." Said Sweetie

"Reckoning Scootaloo does everything Rainbow Dash does, and Apple Bloom is always trying to find her cutie mark. I find it hard they even find time to study. You and I are the only two who know why we must study," I said

"Right, because even studying for ten minutes is worth more than not studying at all." Said Sweetie

We laughed as we continued to walk towards our homes. I was happy that I had such good friends. I felt down when my classmates would shun me because of my father, but Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle stood next to me through it all. It always was a good day when I had my friends with me. Nowadays, ponies seemed to stop talking badly about my daddy after a newspaper came out with an article from Princess Celestia. I was happy to see many ponies no longer talking badly about him.

"So what do you think we should try next to get our cutie marks?" Asked Sweetie

"Well, isn't the Fall Formal coming up, we could try dancing," I said

Sweetie laughed at my comment, "Dancing would be fun, Moon, if Apple Bloom didn't have two left hooves and Scootaloo had a little more lady in her."

"So a no, I'm guessing," I said

"Yeah, but it would be fun to have a dancing cutie mark. My sister told me dancing was an important part of being a lady. But now that you brought it up, you excited for the Fall Formal?" Asked Sweetie

"I'm not sure since I'm sure not one of our colt classmates is going to ask me to dance. Do think somepony is going to ask you out for the dance?" I asked

"Well, I'm hoping for Button Mash. He and I have been friends for years before I met Apple Bloom and Scootaloo." Sweetie Belle then placed her hands on my shoulders, "But don't settle yourself short, I know one of the colts in our class will ask you out. You're a pretty and kind filly and if a colt can't see that then there blind."

I blushed at Sweetie's comment, "Thanks Sweetie Belle."

We hugged and before we could separate a pony with a chart ran right past us, pushing us both over. We screamed as we went down. Sweetie Belle hit the ground first with me landing on top of her. That's when I felt my lips touch hers. The two of us looked at each other as we looked at our lips. A blush started to form over each of our faces. I then started to feel a strange feeling welling up in myself. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as our lips stayed together. Finally, we broke and looked at each other.

The feeling was growing in my stomach as I looked into the beautiful eyes of Sweetie. What's happening to me? I quickly got up and ran for it. I didn't want to stand around and wait for Sweetie to push me away even if it was an accident. I couldn't handle seeing her angry face.

I opened the library door and slammed it shut as I ran up the stairs to my bedroom. I opened it and closed it. I threw my backpack on the ground and grabbed my stuff rabbit; my mother gave me to help me sleep. I clenched it as I felt a few tears run down my cheeks. The fuzzy feeling my stomach didn't want to disappear. What's wrong with me?

I heard the door open and looked to see my uncle looking at me with a concerned look on his face.

"Moon dear, are you ok?" He asked

I didn't answer as he hopped up onto the bed and held me close to his chest as he cooed to get me to calm down. He ran his paws through my mane to further help me stop crying.

"It's ok, Moon. Uncle Flame is here to make things better." He said

I started to calm down in his arms. He pulled me away as he wiped my tears from my eyes and cheeks.

"Now, what's wrong?" He asked

"Uncle, I feel wrong," I said

"What feels wrong, Moon?" Asked Flame

"I have this strange fuzzy feeling in my stomach," I said

"Moon there's nothing wrong with a fuzzy feeling." Said Flame

"Then what's it mean?" I asked

"When a pony gets a fuzzy feeling in their stomach, you have feelings for somepony. Moon, do you have a crush on somepony." Said Flame

"A crush?" I asked

"Yeah, like do you like somepony like how your mom and dad like each other." Said Flame

"I'm not sure, Uncle Flame," I said

"Well, why not tell me where you first felt the fuzzy feeling in your stomach, and I'll tell you if you have a crush." Said Flame

I nodded as I took a calming breath, "I was walking home with Sweetie Belle when this pony with a cart pushed us over. We fell on top of each other, and when we looked at each other, we were kissing. That's when I felt hot around my face and the fuzzy feeling growing in my chest, and my heart started to race. When we broke the kiss, I looked into her eyes, and I felt the feeling grow stronger. Well, I left Sweetie Belle and ran home, and here we are."

"I see, now I want you to be honest with me, Moon." I looked at my uncle and nodded, "Have you ever had these feelings happen before when you spent time with Sweetie Belle?"

I thought it over a few seconds, "Well, I have felt the fuzzy feelings a few times. But never like today. Is it wrong uncle to have feelings for your friends or even another filly. I thought you should only feel fuzzy when you like a colt."

He smiled as Flame pushed a strand of my mane out of my eyes, "There's nothing wrong with that, Moon. You see, there are a few who won't have feelings for colts, but have them for fillies."

"But isn't it wrong, uncle," I said

"Not at all, Moon. Do you remember Bon Bon and Lyre, two of your dad's friends?" I nodded at his question, "They are a couple, and they don't care that they are two mares. Love comes from the heart, Moon. And when your heart tells you like somepony, you get a fuzzy feeling in your stomach, you get hot in the face, and your heart starts to beat fast."

"But doesn't that mean I'm more of a freak?" I asked

"No Moon, liking a filly doesn't mean you're a freak. Loving somepony of the same gender doesn't mean you're a freak." Said Flame

"But what about Sweetie Belle?" I asked

"I'm not sure dear, I can't answer for Sweetie Belle. But I can answer this, don't let anypony tell you its wrong to love a filly. You can love whoever you want, Moon, no matter what gender they are." Said Flame

I smiled as I hugged my uncle, "Thank you, Uncle Flame."

He patted me on the back, "You're welcome, Moon. Now, how about we head off to Sugar Cube Corner and get a cupcake from Pinkie Pie. I know one of Pinkie's cupcakes will cheer you right up since you can't have a long face when Twilight comes home." Said Flame

I nodded as I got off the couch and followed my uncle out of my room and down to Sugar Cube Corner.

I sat in class taking down a few notes as Cheerilee talked about all the critical parts to study for the upcoming test.

"Now I think that's enough class for today. I know that we all have five minutes before we head out for the day, but I want to remind you all that the Fall Formal is coming up soon and that means its time for all our young colts in the class to get up and ask out all the pretty young fillies in our class to the dance. And no worries if you don't have a date, ladies for you can come and enjoy the dance anyway." Cheerilee grabbed a stack of papers and passed them out to the front of the class, and those students passed them back. "What you all are getting is the rules and slips that your parents need to sign before you come to the formal. You should find the dress attire for the event, boys in suits and ties that match your date's dress and girls, dresses." The bell rang signaling that school was over. "Well, that's the end of school, have a nice rest of your day."

Colts began to get up and ask fillies to the dance. I felt a little down that no one was asking me out. I sighed as I packed my bag. I turned to see Apple Bloom accepting Pipsqueak and Scootaloo accepting Rumble. I didn't see Sweetie, but it was a little hard to see through the crowd of ponies. I decided to head home and begin my homework so that I could spend time with my mother. I walked out and started to walk down the street when I heard an all to familiar voice.

"Oh look the freak."

I turned to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon coming towards me. Why can't they leave me alone for a single day?

"What do you two want?" I asked

"We saw that a colt didn't ask you out to the Fall Formal." Said Diamond

"So?" I asked

"Well, doesn't that make you sad that you're the only one in the class that doesn't have a date. Wait, the only two without dates." Said Silver Spoon

"Only two?" I asked

"Oh, you didn't see your poor friend Sweetie Belle run out of the school in tears." Said Silver Spoon

"Yeah, the crybaby couldn't believe it when Button Mash asked me out. He saw that there was no point in asking out a blank flank as colts as there was no point in asking out a freak." Said Diamond

Diamond and Silver Spoon began to laugh, but I didn't care, my mind was on Sweetie Belle. I decided I need to comfort my friend and ran off to find her. I hope she's where I think she is. I kept running ignoring the shouts and yells from Diamond and Silver.

I walked into the park, and there she was. Sweetie Belle was sitting on the swing with a long face and tears dripping from her face. I walked over to her and set my backpack next to the swing and sat on the seat next to hers. I swung back and forth a little until I saw Sweetie looking at me with puffy red eyes.

"Moon, what are you doing here?" She asked

"I'm here to comfort a friend. I heard from Diamond and Silver that Button Mash didn't ask you to the dance," I said

"Yeah, he asked Diamond Tiara. Button Mash, one of my oldest friends, asked the bully of the school to the dance. He did it right in front of my face as I was trying to get him to ask me out. But what I couldn't believe the most was the Button had already planned to ask Diamond to the dance. I ran out in tears that my best friend didn't want to take me to the dance." Said Sweetie

She began to cry again. I reached out and rubbed her back. I didn't like seeing my friends or family cry.

"It's ok, Sweetie Belle," I said

She looked at me as I smiled at her. She smiled back as she wiped her tears away, "So no pony ask you out either?"

"Yeah, I guess none of the colts want to take a freak to the Fall Formal," I said

"Don't talk to yourself like that, Moon. Your not a freak, you're a cute and pretty filly. And like I said before any colt that doesn't see that is blind." Said Sweetie

"Thanks, Sweetie, the same goes for you as well, and if Button Mash can't see that than he doesn't deserve to be your friend," I said

We both smiled at each other before the realization hit us of what we said to each other. We looked away as our faces began to turn red. That's when I felt the fuzzy feeling again appear in my chest as my heart started to speed up a little bit. I could also feel the heat coming from my cheeks. I looked over at Sweetie who was pushing away a piece of mane out of her face.

"Um, Moon Star, do you remember last night," I nodded at her. "Well, you left in quite a hurry, why was that?"

"Um, well, I didn't know how to react after we kissed. I, um, was afraid you would hate me, so I ran home. I told my uncle about everything I was feeling following our kiss," I said

"Was it a fuzzy feeling in your stomach?" Asked Sweetie

"Yeah, plus my burning face and racing heart. My uncle said that its the sign that you like somepony," I said

"Rarity said the same thing when I told her. And are you feeling it again?" Asked Sweetie

"Yeah, I am," I said

"Is it wrong that we feel this way?" Asked Sweetie

"My uncle said there is nothing wrong with the way we are feeling. He told me that it is completely ok to like somepony that's the same gender as you are," I said

"That's what Rarity said." Said Sweetie

We looked at each other before looking away again. The feeling grew stronger in me. I was sure of it; I liked Sweetie Belle. I knew from what my uncle said, it was ok to love Sweetie Belle. I turned back to her as she looked at me. We both stared into each other's eyes. The fuzzy feeling in me grew stronger as did my burning face and racing heart. Then my mind suddenly thought of something. I got off the swing and walked over to my backpack and opened it.

"What are you doing?" Asked Sweetie

I pulled out the Fall Formal paper Cheerilee gave us. I looked it over and saw nothing stopping me from asking Sweetie Belle to the formal. I tucked it back into my backpack took a calming breath. You can do this, Moon. I turned to Sweetie Belle as she looked at me.

"Um, Sweetie Belle, I know you, and I aren't sure about these feeling happening to us. But I know I feel something towards you, and those feelings tell me that I like you." I watched her face grow a brighter red, "So would you like to go to the Fall Formal with me as my date?"

Silence followed, and I felt my heart drop, but that stopped when I felt Sweetie hug me, "Of course, I'll go with me!"

I smiled as I felt my heart swore through the sky. I hugged Sweetie Belle back as we placed our forward heads together and our horns touched. We watched a spark appear from our horns, we both raised our eyebrows but shrugged it off. We broke the hug, and each picked up our backpacks. Sweetie opened her right hand for me to grab. I smiled as I took it in my left hand.

"Let's head to my sister's place, so she can get to work on our dresses." Said Sweetie

"Yeah," I said

We began to walk to Rarity's place holding hands the entire way. I didn't care what our classmates would think when we showed up to the Fall Formal as a couple. All I knew was that I was happy to have Sweetie Belle as my date for the Fall Formal.
