The two fillies had crawled up in Scootaloo's guest bed. They laid up against each other enjoying each others company.

Scootaloo had decided to lay her wing over Sweetie Belle's back.

Sweetie Belle had been a bit shocked at first looking surprised up at Scootaloo. But then she instantly remembered she and Scootaloo had just become a couple when she saw Scootaloo giving her a warm, loving smile. It would probably take her some time to get used to having Scootaloo as a fillyfriend.

She snuggled even closer to Scootaloo enjoying the heat from Scootaloo spreading through her body.

"So... How long have you had a crush on me?" Scootaloo asked breaking the silence.

"Ever since we got our cutie marks. Though I only figured out it was love yesterday." Sweetie Belle answered sounding a bit tired from all that had just happened.

"I'm glad you figured it out. This could have ended very differently. But I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out." Scootaloo said leaning her head against Sweetie Belles.

"What about you?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Huh?" Scootaloo looked confused at her fillyfriend.

"How long have you had a crush on me Scoots?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I don't really know. I just figured out it was love today when I remembered Cheerilee talking about it in school. But I think the feelings started back when we were making our routine for the flag carrying competition for the Equestria games. You just seemed so much more worried and caring about me than Apple Bloom. Even though you had the right to be mad at me after trying to change the whole routine into a solo focused on me flying" Scootaloo explained feeling a bit guilty about how she almost ruined the routine for her friends.

"Well, don't worry about it. Its all in the past. I could never be so mad to leave my fillyfriend behind" Sweetie Belle said nuzzling Scootaloo.

"Thanks. I couldn't either." Scootaloo thanked.

"But how did you figure out your feelings for me was love? I figured it out from the school but you weren't there that day." Scootaloo asked thinking it would be weird to just randomly figure out the feeling of love out of nowhere.

"Oh! I got some help from Rarity" Sweetie Belle replied as her eyes shot wide open upon saying her sisters name.

"Rarity! She's still downstairs waiting! I really said some awful things to her! I really don't hope I hurt her feelings too much" Sweetie Belle said jumping off of the bed.

She suddenly felt a hoof over her shoulder.

"Then let's go down and apologize together. I'm not letting you do this alone" Scootaloo said smiling at Sweetie Belle.

"Thanks" Was all Sweetie Belle could say as she was nearly speechless over seeing this side of Scootaloo.

The two fillies then walked out of the room and down the stairs to go see if Rarity was okay.

Rarity had sat down there the whole time. She had kept getting worried and nearly going up there again, but every time she was about to do so, Sweetie Belle's words came into her mind again.

"IN JUST ONE LITTLE DAY, SHE HAS MADE ME FEEL MORE SAFE THAN ALL THE TIMES YOU'VE EVER TRIED MAKING ME FEEL SAFE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE PUT TOGETHER!" Rarity remembered Sweetie Belle yelling at her.

Not wanting to hurt her sister, she stayed down until they came down themselves.

Rarity heard someone on the stairs. About five seconds later, Sweetie Belle appeared in front of the stairs.

"Sweetie Belle, you're back!" Rarity bursted out excited to see her sister again.

Then Scootaloo appeared downstairs behind Sweetie Belle.

"And hi.. Scootaloo" Rarity said using Scootaloo's name as an insult.

"That's no way to talk to your little sister's best friend Rarity!" Sweetie Belle said raising her voice a little.

"B-but. Sh-she. I want an explanation for all of this!" Rarity demanded.

Scootaloo was about to say something when she was cut off by Sweetie Belle.

"I think it's best that I told her" Sweetie Belle explained giving her friend a smile.

Scootaloo just nodded and let Sweetie Belle tell the story.

She told her about her nightmare, but left out the parts of Scootaloo rejecting her love so it just sounded like a nightmare about losing Scootaloo's friendship. She told her about how Scootaloo comforted her and that she wouldn't have been able to sleep through that storm if it wasn't for Scootaloo.

Rarity was shocked over Scootaloo being able to help her sister so much. She was happy that her sister had a friend willing to help her so much. But she still needed to have a talk with Scootaloo.

"I'm sorry darling. I guess I overreacted a little" Rarity admitted.

"A little?! A little?!" Sweetie Belle was just about to yell at Rarity again when she felt a hoof on her shoulder.

She looked around to see Scootaloo giving her a warm smile, trying to calm her down.

"I'm sorry Rarity. I said some terrible things too. I was just so scared of what you were going to do to Scootaloo. You know she's my best friend and that she would never hurt me." Sweetie Belle apologized.

"Its okay Sweetie Belle. But I think its time for Scootaloo to go home now. Her parents are probably worried sick.." Rarity explained having a hard time to still talk while seeing Sweetie Belle's frown getting bigger and bigger.

"Since Scootaloo hasn't gotten any food yet. Could you be a dear to go and get her scooter from the guest room and bring it down here while Scootaloo gets some food?" Rarity asked.

"Okay. I don't want her to starve" Sweetie Belle replied with a smile on her face.

She then ran upstairs to get Scootaloo's scooter.

Scootaloo was still standing downstairs next to Rarity.

Silence filled the room for about ten seconds until it was broken by Rarity.

"Scootaloo. I know you're only trying to help my sister but if I see you being that close to her again, you will be punished!" Rarity said making sure that her voice wasn't high enough for Sweetie Belle to hear her.

Scootaloo didn't really know how to answer. But then she remembered something.

"No." Scootaloo answered surprising Rarity with her words.

"What did you say?" Rarity asked becoming more and more furious at the filly.

"I said 'No'. A 'good' big sister cares about their little sisters. And if you really care about Sweetie Belle, then you will also not have a problem with me being that close to her since it makes her happy." Scootaloo said with a very serious tone in her voice.

"Why you little-" Rarity was about to continue but was cut off by Sweetie Belle who had just got downstairs with the scooter held using her magic.

Rarity didn't think she would be able to hold it using magic and would instead need to carry it down with her hoofs, so she thought she had much more time.

"She's right! My Scootaloo has every right to be that close to me! Especially when I'm scared like last night!" Sweetie Belle yelled at her sister.

"Your Scootaloo?" Rarity asked confused.

"Yes.. My Scootaloo" Sweetie Belle repeated as she went over and pecked Scootaloo on the cheek making her blush.

Rarity was taken a bit back by this, having a shocked expression on her face.

"So.. Not that you can do anything about it since our cutie marks as well as Apple Bloom's cutie mark are tied together with each other meaning that we will always be a team no matter what. Do you approve of our relationship? Because if you don't, then you also don't approve of me being happy." Sweetie Belle asked her big sister.

"...I guess I approve then.. If this is really what you want.." Rarity replied making the two fillies jump in excitement.

"But I must ask you something Sweetie Belle. Why her? There isn't really anything special about her." Rarity said bluntly, unaware of her offending somepony.

"Okay, now you're just being offensive Rarity! And to answer your question, its because she's strong, smart, brave, cute and romantic" Sweetie Belle said nearly going off into a daydream when describing Scootaloo.

"H-hey! I'm not cute." Scootaloo said blushing deeply from Sweetie Belle's description of her.

"You say, while being absolutely adorable" Sweetie Belle teased while walking over to her fillyfriend, giving her a little nuzzle.

"Well.. If you say I'm cute, then I'll believe I'm cute. But I don't think I'll ever be as cute as a certain filly I know." Scootaloo said, returning the nuzzle.

"Am I that certain filly?" Sweetie Belle asked with a hopeful smile on her face.

"Of course you are Sweetie!" Scootaloo quickly said with a smile, worried that her fillyfriend might have thought she had a new crush on someone else.

"Wow.. I must say I'm surprised there was a side of you like that Scootaloo" Rarity admitted.

Just then, they heard somepony knocking on the door.

"Who could that be outside this early?" Rarity said to herself while unlocking and opening the door.

"I think the bigger question is why my daughter didn't come home yesterday and that I now find her here, in your house!" A big stallion said as he entered the boutique. Scootaloo instantly recognized that voice. It was her dad..

She ran out so she was visible from the door, with Sweetie Belle behind her.

"Come Scootaloo! I think it would be time to get out of this crazy house full of crazy ponies keeping you from coming home in a snow storm!" Scootaloo's dad said as he turned around and walked out of the door thinking that Scootaloo was following him.

"No, dad!" Scootaloo yelled in a serious tone, making sure her dad knew she wasn't joking around.

"Well.. If you don't want to come with me then at least give an explanation to what is going on here!" Scootaloo's dad demanded.

"Then come in and take a seat at the table instead of just standing there." Scootaloo told her father in a way you would usually expect from her.

As the three ponies sat at the dinner table, Rarity had gone out to make some new breakfast since the breakfast she had already made had become cold.

Scootaloo then started telling her father everything that happened, other than about Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle being a couple. Though she stopped after telling about her and Sweetie Belle falling asleep together when her dad interrupted her.

"Scootaloo, I get that you're just being nice. But that sounds like something a couple would do. Don't you think its a bit weird doing it with somepony who's only a good friend?" Her dad asked curious.

"Well, it would make sense since me and Scootaloo are a couple now." Sweetie Belle explained unaware of Scootaloo wanting to wait a bit on telling her father.

"Scootaloo? And you? Hah! I can see why this filly is your friend Scootaloo. She has a pretty good sense of humor.. Heh. Like you would ever be together with a filly like her, or a filly at all. You probably already have a crush on one of the colts in school right?" Scootaloo's dad laughed, unaware of him hurting both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's feelings.

Scootaloo noticed the tears forming in Sweetie Belle's eyes and quickly walked over to her giving her a nuzzle while gently stoking her mane.

"Dad! That's no way to treat your daughters new fillyfriend! Apologize to her, NOW!" Scootaloo bursted out shocked by her dad's words.

"You okay Sweetie?" Scootaloo asked, giving her a little kiss on the cheek.

"Yes.. I think so. Thanks Scoots! You really are the best fillyfriend a pony could ask for" Sweetie Belle replied as she was starting to cheer up.

Scootaloo's dad was at a loss of words. He was happy for his daughter. But at the same time felt weird because of how much that had happened between the two fillies in only one day and a few hours.

"Dad! Hello?! You offended your daughter's fillyfriend! Don't you think you owe that pony an apology?!" Scootaloo asked being angry at her dad for not even responding to her.

"Oh, yeah right! I'm sorry, umm... Sweetie Belle is it not?" Scootaloo's dad apologized.

"Yes.. And it's okay.. I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone" Sweetie Belle replied with a smile thinking that it would be good to get to know her fillyfriend's parent's a bit better.

"Thank you for understanding.. And also for being there for my daughter in her hard times. I think you two would make an excellent couple" Scootaloo's dad told the two fillies, approving of their love.

Just then, Rarity had come in with their breakfast. They all sat down and ate while Scootaloo finished up telling her story.

"So that's it" Scootaloo had said when they were finally done with their dinner.

"I must say that its a lot to take in. I never thought you were into fillies and not colts. But I'm happy for you two anyways. If you like her, and she likes you back. Then I see no reason to stop your love from growing even stronger" Scootaloo's dad said as she smiled at the two fillies.

"We should probably find mom and tell her about all of this. Do you want to come with us Sweetie Belle? I think it would be good for you two to not only be together more but also for you to be there for Scootaloo when she tells her mom about all of this" He explained, fully aware of the fillies wanting to spend a lot more time with each other now.

"Okay! I'll go get my winter clothes. I probably have some extra for Scootaloo too." Sweetie Belle said happily as she ran over to the stairs.

"No need to get Scootaloo some winter clothes darling! I already have some right here." Rarity said as she pulled up some white winter clothes with a hat that matched Sweetie Belle's mane color. Rarity had made it yesterday a little after Sweetie Belle had told her about her feelings for Scootaloo. It was made to symbolize their love in case that Scootaloo returned Sweetie Belle's feelings.

"Thanks Rarity" Sweetie Belle thanked as she gave her sister a smile before running upstairs to get her own winter clothes.

She came down a bit later with her own winter clothes on that matched Scootaloo's fur and mane colors.

"How do I look?" Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo.

"Well.. Just a moment ago when you didn't have it on, I didn't think you could get any cuter. But I guess you proved me wrong. You look beautiful and adorable Sweetie." Scootaloo complimented her fillyfriend who was blushing deeply the whole time.

"Thanks. You look good too" Sweetie Belle said, just now noticing Scootaloo being in her winter clothes.

"I think we should go now.. I don't want mom to worry too much about where you are.. She is checking the different places in the other side of Ponyville right now. So it shouldn't be that hard to find her" Scootaloo's dad said opening the door to Carousel Boutique letting the fillies run out into the snow.

"Bye sis! See you later!" Sweetie Belle said to Rarity as she was standing in the door.

"Goodbye Sweetie Belle! Now go spent some time with your fillyfriend." Rarity told Sweetie Belle who instantly turned around and ran over to Scootaloo. She was glad that Rarity was actually getting used to their relationship.

Then the three ponies walked towards the other side of town to find Scootaloo's mother... Next Chapter: Chapter 7 - The long break Estimated time remaining: 32 Minutes
