A ScootaBelle Story
Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - The best day of our lives
Previous ChapterThe three fillies had just reached Sweet Apple Acres when a blue figure jumped out of one of the trees and slammed down in front of the fillies, making Sweetie Belle yelp and quickly hide behind Scootaloo.
"BO!" Rainbow Dash screamed.
That made all of the fillies yelp in shock this time.
Sweetie Belle still hid behind Scootaloo, not being able to look up and see who was there.
"Hey Scoots! What are you doing?" Rainbow asked still laughing a bit from the prank.
Scootaloo was happy to see Rainbow again, and was just about to answer when she realized that Sweetie Belle was still hiding behind her, shivering from the prank.
"That wasn't funny Rainbow!" Scootaloo yelled, not finding the prank funny anymore as it had scared Sweetie Belle so much.
Rainbow was taking a bit back by Scootaloo's yelling since she usually find her pranks funny, even when they're on herself.
Rainbow could see the pain and anger in Scootaloo's eyes and immediately regret the prank, realizing that she had just hurt the pony who's like a little sister to her.
"I-I'm sorry Scoots. I didn't mean to scare you that much." Rainbow apologized, still feeling a bit weird to why Scootaloo didn't find it funny like usual.
"It's not me Rainbow!" Scootaloo said, being angry that Rainbow still hadn't noticed at all that Sweetie Belle was shivering like crazy behind her.
"Then why are you mad at me?" Rainbow asked, being very confused with the whole situation.
Scootaloo then stepped aside so Rainbow could see Sweetie Belle shivering like crazy after what had happened. She then walked over and sat down next to Sweetie Belle, running a hoof through her mane.
"You scared the life out of Sweetie Belle, Rainbow!" Scootaloo yelled as she could feel some of the anger coming back.
Rainbow was speechless over how much Scootaloo cared for her friend. She didn't know what to say since she was now more confused than ever.
"You know how much Sweetie gets scared by your pranks!" Scootaloo yelled at Rainbow Dash.
"W-wa-wait! Sweetie?" Rainbow said confused to why Scootaloo would call Sweetie Belle that. She knew that it was just a part of Sweetie Belle's name, but it still sounded like something that would be a bit weird to say to a friend.
"Oh.. Right... I forgot to tell you.." Scootaloo said, a bit awkward for reacting like Rainbow already knew about her and Sweetie Belle.
"Tell me what?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Th-th-that me and Sweetie Belle a-are-" Scootaloo stammered, being very nervous to how her idol and mentor would react to her being a fillyfooler.
While Rainbow and Scootaloo had been talking, Sweetie Belle had slowly gotten up again without any of them noticing since they were too busy with talking to each other. She had noticed that Scootaloo was talking to Rainbow Dash and felt a lot safer when she realized that it was just one of Rainbow's pranks.
When she saw Scootaloo struggling with telling Rainbow Dash about them, she walked over to Scootaloo who had moved a bit closer to Rainbow when arguing with her, and gave her a little kiss on the cheek.
"And you call me adorable" Sweetie Belle said with a giggle, making Scootaloo blush like crazy.
Scootaloo looked next to her and saw Sweetie Belle standing next to her with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah.. Sweetie and I are.. We're fillyfriends now.." Scootaloo explained feeling much more relaxed now that she had finally said it. But then she instantly got nervous again when realizing that Rainbow still hadn't said anything.
Rainbow Dash stood paralyzed over the situation. She was happy and proud of Scootaloo, but at the same time surprised and confused over her being a fillyfooler.
She stood there for about twenty seconds, not knowing what to say.
"Umm.. R-Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo asked Rainbow with a nervous look on her face.
Rainbow quickly shaked her thoughs away after hearing Scootaloo say her name.
"Y-yes Scoots?" Rainbow said as the realization hit her.
Scootaloo was telling her something but Rainbow couldn't hear any of it as she was lost in her own thoughts.
"Oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh! This.. Is.. AWESOME!" Rainbow thought being both proud happy that Scootaloo had someone to love.
"I'm so proud of you sis." Rainbow thought as she remembered some of the times her and Scootaloo had shared together. She thought of their camping trip and how happy she had been when taking Scootaloo under her wing. She thought about how proud she was when Scootaloo still managed to compete in the Flag carrying competition for the Equestria Games even though she couldn't fly. And she thought about how proud she had been when Scootaloo got her cutie mark. But this. This made her more proud than ever.
A small tear went down Rainbow's cheek as she thought about how much her and Scootaloo had been through.
"Rainbow Dash. A-are you.. Crying?" Scootaloo asked still being very confused and nervous about what Rainbow was going to say.
"Scootaloo.. I-I just don't know what to say. You're a.. Fillyfooler?" Rainbow Dash said, trying to hold back her tears.
"Y-yes.." Scootaloo answered.
Rainbow was just about to say something when she got cut off by Sweetie Belle.
"Why aren't you saying anything?! Are you mad at her?!" Sweetie Belle said as she was getting very impacient.
"Mad? Why would I be mad at Scoots?" Rainbow asked.
She then ran towards Scootaloo and hugged her as the tears finally began to come out.
Scootaloo was very shocked at first. She was just about to say something when she got cut off by Rainbow Dash.
"Scootaloo. Why would I be mad at my little sister for finding someone to love? Sure I was expecting a colt, but if you're happy, and she's happy. Then I'm happy. As long as you two love each other, I'll support you" Rainbow said, hugging Scootaloo even tighter.
"So.. You're okay with me being a fillyfooler?" Scootaloo asked, still surprised by Rainbow's reaction.
"I'm as proud as a sister can be Scoots." Rainbow Dash said in a proud tone. She couldn't be happier for her 'little sister'.
"Thanks Rainbow. It means a lot to me that you approve." Scootaloo thanked, finally being able to relax after being so nervous of Rainbow's reaction.
"So.. When did you guys become a couple? N-not that I'm really interested in it. I-I just thought you guys might want to tell me?" Rainbow Dash said, trying to keep up her 'cool' attitude.
"We got together this morning" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle explained.
"Do you want to hear the story?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yes! Umm.. I mean no! But I guess I can listen anyways.. For your sake." Rainbow answered as she couldn't find a better excuse.
"Let's start from the beginning then" Sweetie Belle said, giggling at Rainbow's bad attempt at being 'cool'
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle then started telling the whole story to Rainbow Dash.
They had completely forgotten about why they ran into Sweet Apple Acres and had forgotten everything about Apple Bloom.
Apple Bloom had continued walking towards the clubhouse when Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were telling Rainbow Dash about their relationship. She was going to get the things they usually used when playing outside in the snow. She was really getting excited to play with her friends again. She got each of them a shovel in case they wanted to build a snowpony or get a pile of snow when having snowball fights.
When she came back, she was surprised to see that Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle had started telling stories to Rainbow Dash and had completely forgotten about her.
"Guys? Weren't we supposed to play together?" Apple Bloom asked, being a bit annoyed by her friends forgetting her.
"Huh? Oh.. Right.. Sorry Rainbow but we have to tell you the rest of the story later" Scootaloo explained as she remembered what they were doing in Sweet Apple Acres in the first place.
"Huh? Oh! Um... That's fine. I was only doing it for you anyways.. Just go and have some fun" Rainbow Dash told the two fillies who then began to run over to Apple Bloom to see what they were going to play.
"What would you like to do Apple Bloom? I think it's only fair that you get to choose since you weren't with us yesterday" Sweetie Belle asked giving Apple Bloom a friendly smile.
"Yeah! What would you like to do Apple Bloom?" Scootaloo asked also excited to play with their friend again.
"How about a snowball fight?" Apple Bloom asked excited.
"Alright! Me and Sweetie against-" Scootaloo was about to continue but was cut off by Apple Bloom
"Ah know you want to be on the same team now that your together. But that would be unfair. It would be best if we all played against each other." Apple Bloom explained.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle stood still for about ten seconds until they agreed it would be best.
"I really want to play with Sweetie Belle. But it is probably best that we play all against each other" Scootaloo shrugged.
"Me too. But as you said, it wouldn't be fair if it was me and Scoots against you, Apple Bloom" Sweetie Belle agreed.
"Thanks guys" Apple Bloom thanked.
The three fillies took their tools and began building their forts for the fight.
It took about twenty minutes for them to be done with their snow forts.
"Are ya ready guys?" Apple Bloom yelled from her snow fort.
"Ready!" Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle yelled.
"3.. 2.. 1.. FIGHT!" Apple Bloom yelled as she began throwing snowballs at Sweetie Belle.
Sweetie Belle dodged most of them but got hit a couple of times.
Scootaloo hesitated but then threw a snowball at Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, hitting both of them as they hadn't seen it coming.
"You'll regret that Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom threatened as she placed two snowballs in front of her. She then bucked them, sending them flying towards Scootaloo, hitting her right in the face.
Sweetie Belle had stacked four snowballs and were now levitating them with her magic.
"I'm sorry guys, but I think I'm gonna win this one" Sweetie Belle said as she threw two snowballs at Apple Bloom and two at Scootaloo.
"Oh, I don't think so.." Scootaloo said as she dodged the two snowballs.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna wi-" Apple Bloom said as she was cut off by two snowballs coming right at her. She didn't have enough time to dodge and got hit by both of them.
Scootaloo were now holding one snowball in each hoof and was looking towards Sweetie Belle.
"I want to let you win Sweetie. But I have to play fair" Scootaloo said throwing the snowballs towards Sweetie Belle.
Sweetie Belle easily dodged the snowballs and began to build some more.
"You missed!" Sweetie Belle teased, only to look up and see Scootaloo already having a new set of snowballs ready.
"Well.. Then I'll just keep throwing them until I don't miss!" Scootaloo said throwing the two snowballs at Sweetie Belle again.
"I think you forgot about somepony!" Apple Bloom yelled, throwing a snowball at both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.
They kept going on with this for hours. They played until about 5:30 PM when Applejack came and took Apple Bloom back to the farm since it was getting late.
"Its getting late. You should probably go home too. Rarity is probably worried about you, Sweetie Belle. And your.. Parents are probably worried too, Scootaloo" Applejack told the two fillies, having a hard time to say the word 'parents' since her parents had died a long time ago.
"Goodbye Scootaloo! Goodbye Sweetie Belle! And good luck on your first date tomorrow!" Apple Bloom said, making Applejack stop and look around back at the two fillies.
"Did I hear right? Your.. First date?" Applejack asked, being pretty confused.
"Yes. Sweetie and I became a couple this morning and our first date is tomorrow!" Scootaloo said excited.
"Well.. Good luck then! I'd like to ask some questions but I'm afraid that has to wait until tomorrow" Applejack said as she began walking away with Apple Bloom.
"Goodbye Apple Bloom!" Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle yelled to their friend.
"Well.. This has certainly been the best day of my life" Scootaloo said, giving Sweetie Belle a nuzzle.
"Me too. But I think we should get home. Your parents probably miss you since you weren't home yesterday" Sweetie Belle explained, feeling sad since she had also wanted to spent some more time together with Scootaloo.
"You're probably right.." Scootaloo shrugged.
"Well.. We can walk together back to Carousel Boutique and then I can continue walking through ponyville back to my house. So I guess we still have a little bit of time together" Scootaloo said with a smile.
"Yeah.. Then let's enjoy the time we have now as much as we can" Sweetie Belle said, giving Scootaloo a kiss on the lips.
"That will never get old" Scootaloo said with a smile.
"I know" Sweetie Belle answered. She was getting a bit used to be fillyfriends with Scootaloo now. But that didn't stop the kiss from feeling exactly like the first time.
The two fillies then walked back to Carousel Boutique and knocked on the door.
No one answered..
They tried knocking again, but no one answered..
Sweetie Belle noticed that the window was open and saw the key to the house laying on a table inside.
She carefully levitated it outside and unlocked the door to the boutique.
"Maybe I should stay with you until we find Rarity?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yeah.. This is getting a bit creepy" Sweetie Belle answered.
They walked in and looked around to see if Rarity were anywhere. They searched all over the place. They searched in Rarity's display room and her working room, but didn't find her anywhere.
They were about to go upstairs when they heard sobbing coming from Rarity's bedroom.
They knocked on the door, but got surprised when they heard a voice yelling at them.
"Go away! I'm not worth your time!" Rarity screamed in between her sobs from her bedroom.
The two fillies stayed silent for a minute. They had always known that Rarity got really sad and dramatic when something was wrong. But neither Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo had heard Rarity like this.
"I wonder what happened" Scootaloo whispered to Sweetie Belle.
"I don't know.. I've never seen her like this. The closest thing I've ever come to seeing her like this was when Luna showed me what would happen if I succeeded in sabotaging Rarity's career back when she was making that hat for Sapphire Shores. I saw how Rarity would react if I hadn't fixed my mistake in time. She completely gave up on her hopes and dreams as a fashion designer and locked herself in her room, away from everyone else. But she sounds even worse now than she did in that vision." Sweetie Belle explained.
"I don't know how she sounded in that vision. But I'm gonna make a guess and say that she sounded angry, sad and full of pain over what happened?" Scootaloo guessed, trying to think of what had made Rarity so sad this time.
"Yes. She did sound angry, sad and full of pain. But.. What does it have to do with this?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Try and listen closely to the noises from inside the room" Scootaloo said, listening closely herself.
"Okay?" Sweetie Belle answered a bit confused as she began to listen.
Sweetie Belle listened very closely to what was going on in there. She then realized something about Rarity's voice. It wasn't really angry or mad. She was still sad, and you could easily hear the pain in her voice.
Sweetie Belle couldn't really figure out the last feeling, until she remembered what Rarity had yelled when they knocked at the door.
"Go away! I'm not worth your time!" Sweetie Belle thought as she finally realized what was going on.
"Can you hear it?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yes.. She's pretty depressed over something she did.." Sweetie Belle answered.
"I have to get her to open the door!" Sweetie Belle said, being very worried about her sister.
"I'll help you" Scootaloo said, not wanting Sweetie Belle to go through this alone.
"I'm sorry Scoots, but no. I think it would be best for me to do this. I really just need you to stand out here and be ready if I need any help" Sweetie Belle explained.
"Okay" Scootaloo answered as she ran around a corner so she could hide when Rarity opened the door.
Sweetie Belle took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Rarity? Can I come in?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Who is it?!" Rarity managed to say through her sobs.
"It's Sweetie Belle! Can I come in sis?" Sweetie Belle asked, trying to get Rarity to open the door.
"S-Sweetie Belle. I-I can't let you in" Rarity answered.
"Why? Did I do anything wrong?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"N-No! You didn't do anything wrong! I-I Should've listened to you! Just go Sweetie Belle. You deserve a better big sister than me!" Rarity yelled from inside her room.
This hit Sweetie Belle hard. They had been mad at each other before. But Sweetie Belle had never heard Rarity regret something so much that she feels like she shouldn't be a big sister.
"Rarity? Please let me in!" Sweetie Belle yelled a bit more serious.
Rarity could hear that Sweetie Belle wouldn't be going anywhere and realized that she would probably end up hurting Sweetie Belle even more if she just ignored her.
She slowly got up from her bed and walked over to the door. She then grabbed the key and unlocked it, letting Sweetie Belle walk in.
Sweetie Belle has shocked when she saw Rarity's face. It wasn't angry or anything like that. It was full of regret and pain.
"What happened sis?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"What happened? You were there! I knew that you would ask Scootaloo at some point. But I just didn't expect it so soon. A-and when I saw you two sleeping together. I-I just didn't know what to feel. I got so shocked that I completely forgot about your crush on Scootaloo. I-I don't know what I was thinking! I saw Scootaloo holding you, and didn't know what to think. I was so dumb for forgetting your crush on Scootaloo and got angry at her instead of being happy for you two. I should know better! But I was too shocked to even think at that moment" Rarity explained, feeling more and more guilty for every word she said.
"Sis! Yes, I was mad at you. And you did overreact a lot. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be my sister! Look at how much you regret it! You didn't want this to happen!" Sweetie Belle explained.
"That still doesn't change that I should've known better!" Rarity explained through her sobs.
"You made a mistake Rarity! And you can't avoid making mistakes in life! But you're not a bad pony just because you made a mistake! Remember when I tried to sabotage your work? I made a mistake there. But that doesn't mean I'm a bad pony. I regret my actions and you do the same." Sweetie Belle explained.
"B-but you fixed your mistake in time! I can't make up for mine!" Rarity said.
"Yes you can! Scoots and I are going on our first date tomorrow and we need some dresses for it. We've already forgiven you but if you want to help us then you could help with that?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Thanks Sweetie Belle.. I'm happy that you and Scootaloo forgive me. But I'll have to make you those dresses for me to forgive myself" Rarity explained, as she was starting to calm down.
"Your welcome sis" Sweetie Belle said as she hugged her big sister.
They broke the hug after about five seconds.
"Scootaloo? I think Rarity want's to apologize to you personally too" Sweetie Belle called out.
Scootaloo then opened the door and walked in.
"I'm sorry for what I did earlier Scootaloo. I don't know what I was thinking" Rarity apologized.
"You don't have to apologize Rarity. I can see that you regret doing it, and that's good enough for me" Scootaloo said with a smile.
"Wait.. Shouldn't you be home Scootaloo?" Rarity asked.
"Yes. But I stayed here with Sweetie Belle to find out what was going on since no one was there when I followed her home" Scootaloo explained.
"Thanks Scootaloo. But I think your parents are getting worried. You should probably hurry home" Rarity explained.
"Yeah.. You're probably right" Scootaloo shrugged.
"Don't worry Scoots. We will have a lot of time together tomorrow" Sweetie Belle said, giving Scootaloo a kiss on the cheek.
"You're right. Goodbye!" Scootaloo said as she began to walk out of the room.
"I'm coming too. I dont want to miss a single moment with you Scoots" Sweetie Belle said, following Scootaloo out of the room and over to the door.
"Goodbye, Scootaloo. And thanks for giving me the best day of my life" Sweetie Belle said, giving Scootaloo a smile.
"Goodbye, Sweetie Belle. And thank you for giving me the best day of my life" Scootaloo said, returning the smile.
Scootaloo then walked out of the house and ran back home to her parents.
They kept thinking about each other when falling asleep that night.
Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to get a nightmare after just having the best day of their lives...
