Turned out it was not just cold outside. There were going to be a huge storm of snow until the evening.

When they got back to Carousel Boutique Rarity told Sweetie Belle to go show Scootaloo the room she was staying in.

They got up and entered Scootaloo's room.

It was a very fine room with a huge bed in the middle that had a white painted fence supporting it. The blanket was a dark purple color and the pillows white. Just by looking at it the bed, you could easily figure out Rarity lived here.

On each side of the bed was a brown night table. One of them had a purple lamp on it, and the other a painting.

It was a painting of when Rarity got her cutie mark. And it looked like Rarity was trying to make space for another painting to come in there with Sweetie Belle's Cutie mark.

"Pretty fancy for a guest room huh?" Scootaloo said thinking that Rarity would probably panic if even a single room wasn't in touch with fashion.

"Of course it is! It is my big sister we're talking about after all" Sweetie Belle answered giving Scootaloo a smile.

They then decided to go play in Sweetie Belle's room for a while. But they were stopped after about an hour when it turned out that Sweetie Belle's definition of 'playing' meant singing so loud that Rarity couldn't concentrate on making her dresses downstairs.

After that they just talked about their crusading until 5:00 PM.

"Scootaloo? I know you probably don't want to but I think It would be best if we told what happened to Rarity, or at least I told her." Sweetie Belle said, hoping for her friend to understand.

"I-I'm not sure if that's a good idea Sweetie Belle" Scootaloo said being both nervous and shocked by the question.

"Why not? I'm sure she will understand" Sweetie Belle said confused.

"It's not that I don't think she will understand. Its that I don't want ponies to know how big of a crybaby I am. I try to be tough because I don't want other ponies to know I cry so easily. Its really embarrassing" Scootaloo said, worried that somepony would find out and tell everyone else in Ponyville.

"Okay then... What about I tell Rarity about all of it so she can contact Cheerilee. But Rarity wont tell anything about what happened afterwards. Only that Diamond Tiara is continuing to bully you." Sweetie Belle asked hoping that this idea would work.

Scootaloo hesitated for a moment but then finally agreed that it was for the better. Sweetie Belle then went downstairs to inform Rarity about what had happened so she could contact Cheerilee as quickly as possible.

"Umm Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked her big sister.

"Oh, Sweetie Belle darling! You came just in time! How do you like my new dress? Too many gems? Too much blue?" Rarity asked getting so caught up in her dresses that she forgot her sister was trying to ask her something.

"Rarity! I need to have a serious talk with you! Its about Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle bursted out as she was clearly getting annoyed by her sister's ignorance.

"Huh? Wait... WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU! I'M GONNA GO UP THERE RIGHT NOW AND SHE IS GOING TO GET KICKED OUT FOR MESSING WITH YOU!" Rarity bursted out angrily while running over to the stairs that led up to the guest room where Scootaloo were staying.

But luckily she was stopped by Sweetie Belle pulling her tail to get her attention.

"RARITY! STOP!" Sweetie Belle Screamed. She was furious over Rarity actually thinking Scootaloo would hurt her.

"She didn't do anything against anyone! She was the target for what i was going to talk to you about!" Sweetie Belle said in a bit calmer tone, but Rarity could still hear the anger in her voice.

"Huh?! What happened?" Rarity asked curious to what had happened.

"D-Diamond Tiara" Sweetie Belle could barely form the name of that evil little filly, and as soon as she did, anger started to fill her body just like it did in the clubhouse.

"Oh! Do you mean that filly who you three helped find her true self? I really must say. You did a great job showing her what friendship means." Rarity said with a smile.

Sweetie Belle couldn't take anymore. She slammed her hooves onto the floor in anger.

"NO! SHE ALWAYS KNEW HER TRUE SELF! AND THAT IS BEING A MEAN BULLY WITH NO FRIENDS!" Sweetie Belle yelled at Rarity.

"Sweetie Belle! What in Equestria are you talking about?!" Rarity said. She was getting pretty impatient.

"I'm talking about that filly being a no good bully! When me and Scootaloo left for bowling today, we split up so she could get her money an-and t-then Diamond Tiara came to Scootaloo! She called her all these horrible things! She even brought up the subject of Scootaloo not being able to fly again!" Sweetie Belle said as she began crying, feeling horrible about what her friend had to go through.

Rarity instantly noticed this and picked up her little sister, hugging her closely.

The two sisters sat there for a little while until Sweetie Belle finally broke the silence and told Rarity the rest of the story.

She told her about Scootaloo's breakdown in the clubhouse and Scootaloo not wanting her to tell her breakdown to anyone else.

"That poor filly. She must have had such a hard time." Rarity said feeling guilty that she had almost ran up there and kicked her out of the house for no reason earlier.

"But i am very proud of you sis" Rarity said trying to clear away the guilt from her voice.

"Huh?" Sweetie Belle said confused about what her sister was proud of.

"I'm very proud of how you helped Scootaloo through it. I never knew you could be so serious about things. Guess you're just a really good friend" Rarity said smiling to her sister.

"Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about sis" Sweetie Belle explained.

"Well what is it darling?" Rarity asked.

"Could we talk about it in private? I don't want Scootaloo hearing it." Sweetie Belle whispered to Rarity.

"Of course darling." Rarity said as a smile appeared on her face.

The two sisters then walked into the room behind the stage that was in the middle of Carousel Boutique.

"So.. What did you want to talk about Sweetie?" Rarity asked.

"I think we should start from the beginning" Sweetie Belle shrugged.

"A few seconds before me, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo got our cutie marks, Scootaloo had pulled me and Apple Bloom into a hug. But when Apple Bloom got out of it and it was just me and Scootaloo, I felt... Safe" Sweetie Belle explained being very confused herself about her feelings.

Rarity looked a bit shocked on her face. She had gotten that feeling before, but she wanted to make sure this was what her sister was talking about.

"Proceed" Rarity told her sister.

"I-It felt really strange but good at the same time. It felt like I was safe. As if no one could touch me. Even though It was just a few seconds, I felt like I was, no offence Rarity, more safe than I was here at home." Sweetie Belle continued.

"And today, I noticed I had started blushing whenever she hugged me. But the strangest thing was when I heard about Diamond Tiara mocking Scootaloo. I don't ever think I've been that mad at anypony in my life before. I also haven't felt so bad for anypony before. That was probably how I was so serious and good at comforting her. Because I felt so bad. But I don't get it. Why do I only feel so bad when it's her? Why does it feel like my whole world breaks down whenever she's in pain or is sad." Sweetie Belle said even more confused than before.

Rarity was a bit shocked at first, wondering if she should tell Sweetie Belle the real reason. But then a thought came into her mind.

"If you tell her the truth, she'll have a chance to be with the pony she loves. If you lie to her, she'll have to be confused about her feelings and go through even more pain." Rarity thought.

"Sweetie Belle, I must admit this comes as a bit of a shock to me, but that's wonderful news!" Rarity finally said bouncing up and down happily for her sister.

"Huh? Why is it wonderful news?" Sweetie Belle asked, this time getting a bit annoyed by Rarity not telling her a reason.

"Don't you see Sweetie? You're in love!" Rarity bursted out being extremely happy for her sister.

"But, but I thought fillies were meant to love colts. Why do I then love Scootaloo who is a filly?" Sweetie Belle asked trying to let It all sink in.

"Its not at all everypony who loves the opposite gender of themselves. Many ponies love the same gender. Its nothing to be ashamed of" Rarity explained trying to make Sweetie Belle calm down from getting overwhelmed by the fact that she had a crush on Scootaloo.

"So let me get this straight. These feelings I have for Scootaloo is.. Love?" Sweetie Belle said still not getting it.

"Exactly!" Rarity told her.

Now that she thought about it. Other ponies description of love did seem very familiar to what she was feeling, she then finally let it sink in.

"Oh no! Wh-What if she doesn't like me the same way?! What if she hates me after confessing my feelings! My life would be ruined!" Sweetie Belle said as she was panicking like crazy.

"Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo is one of your first and closest friends. You got her as a friend even before Apple Bloom. I'm sure even if she does not feel the same way, she will always stick by your side and be your friend." Rarity explained trying to lower her sisters stress.

"You're probably right sis. I'll tell her when I feel the time is right. But for now, I think I should go back up to her so she doesn't get bored" Sweetie Belle said as both her and Rarity let out a small giggle.

"That would probably be best." Rarity said to her sister as she let her run up to her friend.

"I'm so proud of you sis." Rarity thought.

Then she started getting ready for some dinner. Next Chapter: Chapter 4 - Thunder and fears Estimated time remaining: 60 Minutes
