Scootaloo raced through the streets of Ponyville, emburdened (That was so too a word in her mind, and she wasn't going to let anyone tell her otherwise.) with a purpose in mind. The letter she clutched to her chest tightly never letting it slip from her grip not even for a second, as she flew through the streets with her other hoof on her scooter's handlebars, specifically said that it was a request for a romantic dinner. Scootaloo knew she couldn't look like she normally did, all tomcoltish with her tussled mane if she was going to be able to impress Sweetie. There was only one pony in town who could help her now.

"Please be there, be there..." Scootaloo pleaded mentally to Faust or whatever deity happened to be there at the time. Tartarus, she'd even take DISCORD of all deities if he happened to be listening, as much as she hated to admit it. She was that desperate at this point in her mind. Rainbow's words about nopony telling her who she should like were still stuck firmly in her mind, but so were Diamond's about Sweetie not even looking twice at a mare like her. A absolutely horrifying fantasy played out in her mind.

(Author's note, this scene was inspired by another of Twi-Fi's stories so credit to him.)

In Scootaloo's mind:

Scootaloo smiled as she entered the Clubhouse, ready for another hard day of crusading with her friends when then she saw it. There they were, Sweetie Belle and Diamond Tiara pressed up against a wall Prench Kissing each other heavily as soft moans were emitted from each other's mouths.

"S-Sweetie, I thought you loved me!" Scootaloo shouted in shock and Sweetie pulled away from Diamond for a moment and she smirked almost wickedly.

"Oh, what made you ever think that? Moi, love a FLIGHTLESS pegasus such as you?" Sweetie sneered before Diamond kissed her again.

"Oh Diamond..." Sweetie crooned out as her marefriend pushed to her the floor before saying seductively "You ready for this, Blank-Flank?" with a naughty smile.

"Oh believe me, I am..." Sweetie whispered and Scootaloo never saw what happened next as she rushed out of the Clubhouse doorway in tears...

Scootaloo shuddered, she just couldn't let that fantasy come to life! Then, she saw it. Rarity's place of residence slash workspace, the Carousel Boutique.

Pulling her scooter to a screeching halt creating a small dust cloud from the dirt kicked up, Scootaloo leaped off it and ran inside where she was greeted by just the mare she had been looking for.

"Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, where every-" Rarity began her usual welcome but she didn't even get a chance to finish as Scootaloo grabbed her by the shoulders in a desperate manner.

"Scootaloo, what is it?" The fashionista pony asked, genuinely confused.

"I... I need your help." Scootaloo admitted.

"With what?" Rarity inquired.

"Can you make me..." Here Scootaloo bit back the word as if were a absolute abhorrence to her but eventually managed to sputter it out. "...Pretty?"

Rarity grinned widely and proclaimed "Oh, Darling, I am going to turn you so beautiful that Sweetie will be knocked off her little hooves!" and Scootaloo suddenly felt very uncomfortable indeed before her jaw dropped as Rarity's words registered with her brain and caught up to her.

"Wait, how'd you know about me liking Sweetie?" Scootaloo questioned with narrowed eyes. Rarity suddenly looked very furious with herself before she thought up the best answer she could.

"Er... I heard it from a very reliable source?" Rarity lied, almost as bad as Applejack when forced to.

"...Funny, that's what Rainbow said as well." Scootaloo muttered even as Rarity began measuring her for reasons known only to her. The fashionista sighed to herself.

"...Of course she did." Rarity grumbled and thought of various ways to murder a certain rainbow maned pegasus before putting it out of her mind. She had a pony to beautify and not much time to do it!

Later that very same day...

Sweetie looked up at the doors of Sugarcube Corner and took a deep breath. It was time, she was going to confess her feelings to Scootaloo and if she didn't share them and this turned out to be all one big mean prank, she'd deal with the hurt afterwards. Right now, she had to convince her forelegs to get moving. Trouble is, they weren't just listening. Then, a invisible force gripped her and shoved her inside the sweet shop.

In the bushes, Rarity smirked and hoofbumped Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon, who along with Rainbow and Diamond Tiara were watching in secret.

"My my, you two seem friendlier then normal." Rarity noted on Apple Bloom's and her secret marefriend's lack of animosity towards each other. "Anything I'm missing here?" She giggled.

Both fillies shook their heads so rapidly in denial that they were impossible to believe. At this, all three of their companions crossed their forelegs and raised their eyebrows in unison. Their expressions of disbelief were so alike, it was uncanny, no it was almost scary really.

"Alright, what's the real story here?" Rainbow deadpanned.

"We... We may or may not be dating?" Silver responded nervously while pressing her front two hooves together sheepishly. Diamond's jaw dropped.

"Way to go on blowing that there secret Silvs." Apple Bloom mumbled while Rarity squealed and said something along the lines of "Two archenemies getting together! So romantic!" as Rainbow groaned at her friend's actions.

Diamond could only mutter "I don't believe this..." in betrayal with Silver replying nervously "Er... We... It just happened?"

Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle gaped as she saw the inside of the sweet shop, which had been virtually transformed. It was empty, the lights had been turned down low to set the mood with candles giving the only real source of light in the place as romantic music played from a unknown source somewhere nearby.

Of course, then she got her next shock. From out of the shadows and sitting herself down on a booth was Scootaloo, all "Gussied up" as Apple Bloom would say with her mane done in a nice style, her tail braided and wearing a elegant pink dress that fit her form nicely.

Sweetie Belle's jaw could only do one thing, and that thing was drop even further then before.

"What the..? Scootaloo, what the freaking Tartarus did you do to yourself?" Sweetie asked in complete disbelief. The filly in question tried to look as seductive as she could, and Sweetie had to admit it was working as sweat trailed down her muzzle and she blushed heavily.

"What? You don't like it?" Scootaloo asked in a seducing tone.

"N-No, of course I like it... But why?" Sweetie stammered as she sat down at the booth.

"Aw damn it... This shouldn't be so hard..." Scootaloo muttered to herself before she finally burst out "It's because I like you okay! I mean, really, really like you, as in more then just a friend!"

"You do?" Sweetie asked, not daring to think this was just more then just a dream. "But of course, if it is... Then there's no harm in doing THIS!" Sweetie thought to herself before she lunged forwards and grabbed Scootaloo in a kiss.

"Y-You like me back?" Scootaloo stammered in shock, still breathless from that kiss. Sweetie nodded.

"Yeah, but there was no reason to completely change yourself to impress me. I like you just the way you are." Sweetie replied in a form but loving tone. "Now shut up and kiss me again, you fool."

Scootaloo was only too happy to oblige. Outside, Rainbow didn't even care if she wasn't going to win any bits. She was just happy for her little sister.

Author's Notes:

So a bit shorter then normal for this story but think about it, what better way to start off your weekend then this, Sweetie and Scoots long awaited confessions to each other? First off, I just want to give a huge shout out to CaioCola for giving me the idea for Scootaloo to do something completely crazy and that idea made things just flow from there, which broke me of my Writers Block for this chapter.

Now, I need you guys and your help again. I want to continue the story beyond this chapter, after all we can't just end it here now can we? After all, confessions and their lead ups are one source of drama and humor for this, but it's what happens after that makes things get really interesting. After all, exploring the ins and outs of dating is something our lovebirds will have to tackle... Plus, more cuteness, drama and humor for us!
