Truth

When the three arrived back at Scootaloo's house, they pranced inside. Even though they'd been there time and time again, they were still amazed by how large her parent's house was. Ever since she moved back in with them she'd lived there, but she still barely ever saw them.

Sweetie Belle cantered ahead of them still, speaking up first. Unsurprisingly, she still had a ton of energy even after the long walk back to their destination. "Can we get snacks?!"

"Yes," Scootaloo chuckled, "You don't have to ask." She smiled at her, trotting into the kitchen with her and Apple Bloom.

"Your parents still leave that wine cabinet open?" AB asked, laughing a little.

"Yeah, they did, why, you both want some?" Scootaloo asked, "I could go for some anyway."

"Yeah, you kiddin'? Of course I do!" Apple Bloom replied, looking around for it.

"Me, too," Sweetie Belle added, looking through the cupboards for any sort of snacks to eat.

"You're always such a goody four shoes until wine is involved, Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom teased, pulling a few bottles from the cabinet.

"Am not! Well, maybe I am, but still!" The other two ponies giggled, and Sweetie Belle let out a tiny 'hmph!' playfully.

A few minutes later, the trio was racing up the stairs with four bottles of wine and Sweetie Belle's random collection of snacks as they headed towards her room. They entered into Scootaloo's room, it was pretty bland for the large house. Her gaming setup, her bed, her tv, and a few old and weathered wonderbolts posters. It wasn't because her parents wouldn't give her what she wanted, she just didn't want much.

Two settled on the mattress, and Scootaloo flipped the light switch on, joining them shortly afterward. She yawned a little before speaking up. "So what do you all want to do?"

"Ooo! Ooo!" Sweetie Belle began immediately. "I have an idea!" She raised her hoof as if she were in school.

"What is it, Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo asked, trying to hold back a chortle of laughter.

"Since we have the wine we could play truth or drink!!" She suggested, seeming to be overly proud of her idea.

"That'd be a mighty fine idea!" Apple Bloom agreed, before looking to Scootaloo. "What do you think, Scoots?"

"Well, I don't see why not! That'd be awesome!" She laughed for a few moments, before adding, "I bet you'll be totally drunk, AB! Since you're always being nervous to other ponies stuff."

"Ah' will not be totally drunk! And if ah' am, there's no way it'll be for that reason!"

"Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened," Sweetie Belle teased with a giggle.

"Well, maybe, whatever," Apple Bloom playfully scoffed, at this point not being able to hold back a laugh herself.

"Well, anyway, who's gonna ask someone first?" Sweetie Belle queried, tilting her head.

"Well, since this was your idea, it would make sense if you did." Scootaloo suggested.

"Yeah, I should of just assumed that," She laughed awkwardly. A few seconds later, she spoke once again. "Apple Bloom! What's the worst thing you've ever done?!" Sweetie Belle seemed proud of her question.

"Uhh, I don't know." She responded with a shrug.

"That's not a very interesting answer!" Sweetie argued.

"Well, I actually don't know," She said again.

"That doesn't count! You gotta take a drink!" Sweetie Belle retorted.

"Well, I guess that's fair," Apple Bloom replied with a sigh, pouring a cup and chugging it down.

"You didn't need to have that much, Apple Bloom!" Scootaloo laughed, surprised.

"What's the fun in truth or drink if ya' don't drink ah whole lot?"

Scootaloo just giggled in respone.

"Oh, um, Scootaloo, what is your deepest secret?!" Apple Bloom questioned, her ears perked in curiosity.

Scootaloo's heart pounded in her chest. She, obviously, couldn't tell them that. Without a second thought she took the bottle and poured a cup with about the same amount that AB had drank. She lifted it to her mouth, pouring the wine down her throat.

"That was quick," Apple Bloom teased, "Must be quite embarrassing!" She chuckled. Scootaloo blushed lightly.

"Well, I guess so," She just replied. It was a lot more than embarrassing. What would the two of them think if they learned how much she liked them?


About an uncounted yet plentiful number of unanswered questions later, it was easy to say what kind of state the three ponies were currently in.

"Apple Bloom!" Scootaloo laughed loudly, waving her hoof, "What are you doing?" She continued to laugh at her nonsensical question after speaking, and Bloom talked over her.

"I'm drinking!" She declared, with a laugh, pouring some in a shot glass and sipping some quickly. Sweetie Belle cackled with laughter, and Apple Bloom still spoke again anyway. "Sweetie Belle! What pony do you have a crush on? You said somethin' 'bout that at Tiara's party!" She laughed some more, likely not expecting an answer.

What if she says me?! Scootaloo wondered to herself, still not thinking properly, That'd be hilarious!

"You two, obviously!" Sweetie Belle replied with a tiny hiccup, for whatever reason holding the wine bottle with her magic and examining it.

"Really?! What in Applejack?!" Apple Bloom said and paused for a moment. "Fuck! Not Applejack, Ah' meant Celestia!" She chuckled looking between the two of them. "What a coincidence, 'cuz i like ya' both!"

"I do too!" Was all Scootaloo said for a few minutes. "I'm tired." Apple Bloom nodded her agreement, laying down.

"Yeah, me too, but we aren't done with the game I think!" Sweetie Belle replied, abruptly dropping the wine bottle on to the bed. When she looked to Apple Bloom, she'd already passed out. "Or, maybe, we could be," She decided, laying down next to Apple Bloom. Scootaloo could only assume that that was her signal to go to sleep, too.

She lied down, and only a few moments later, The sleeping Apple Bloom wrapped her hooves around her, loudly snoring in her sleep. If she was sober, she would be freaking out. But, at the moment, the only thing on her mind was sleep as she passed out.


The next morning, Scootaloo began to wake up. As she looked to her side, she realized the crusaders were still beside her. When she checked the clock, it was only six am. For a minute, she had to think. She held her hooves to her head, trying to recall the events of the night before.

Her eyes opened wider. She remembered. What was she going to do? What was she going to say? What were they going to say when they woke up? Did they mean what they said? Or were they just drunk and nothing more? Scootaloo got up from her bed and trotted to her gaming chair to sit. She didn't turn on her computer. She just sat there. Or, she would of, if she hadn't woken Sweetie Belle.

"Scootaloo..?" The unicorn said sleepily, blinking as she slowly adjusted herself to sit up in the bed.

"Yeah?" She responded, yawning quietly, still quite tired.

"Do you...remember last night?"

"Yeah," Scootaloo responded nervously.

"Did you mean what you said? Before we went to sleep?" The usual playful Sweetie Belle seemed much more serious, but not upset.

"Did you?" Scootaloo's heart was pounding.

"Y-yeah," She admitted.

Scootaloo was almost speechless. But she knew she had to answer.

"I did, too."

There were a few moments of silence. Scootaloo didn't know what Sweetie Belle was thinking, but she knew that she herself was happy. But even more so, she was shocked. She never thought this day would come.

Almost interrupting the special moment, Apple Bloom also woke. Scootaloo didn't waste a second.

"I like you, Apple Bloom," She said calmly. She hoped for the best. Knowing the Sweetie Belle liked her... it couldn't be too bad, even if Apple Bloom was just saying that in her drunken state. Before Apple Bloom could fully process what she'd just heard, Sweetie Belle quickly told her her feelings as well. Apple Bloom blinked a few times.

"Ah- Ah like, er, ya' both, too," AB responded. There was silence for a few moments before Apple Bloom chuckled and asked jokingly, "So it wasn't just the alcohol?"

Scootaloo laughed and Sweetie Belle replied with a simple, "Guess not!"

Scootaloo reopened her eyes, a huge smile on her face. Whatever she expected to go on this morning, this certainly wasn't it. The friday before, when Diamond invited the three to her and Silver Spoon's party, she didn't even consider this possible. "So... now what?"

"I dunno," Apple Bloom laughed.

"Does this mean we're girlfriends now?!" Sweetie Belle squeaked, her seriousness easily fading away.

"Aren't we already girl friends?" Apple Bloom questioned with a tilt of her head.

"I don't think she means that kind of girl friends, AB," Scootaloo chortled.

"OH! Yeah, um, I think so!" She laughed herself, and Sweetie Belle joined in with a tiny giggle.

"Okay, wait a second, just to be sure, am I dreaming?" Scootaloo queried, looking around the room and tapping on her forehooves with the other. Both of the other two ponies chuckled.

"I don't think so," Sweetie Belle said, tapping her own hoof.

"Y'all aren't dreamin'." Apple Bloom assured.

"Okay, good," Scootaloo joked, "If I woke up from this I wouldn't know what in Equestria I'd do! I'd have a million days of wishing it wasn't a dream!" Scootaloo said hyperbolically, dramatically waving one of her hooves as she spoke.

Apple Bloom laughed. "What time is it?"

Sweetie Belle checked the clock. "6:15."

"Should we get ready for school or something?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, yeah, I'd hate to be late," Sweetie Belle replied with a yawn.

"Can 20 minutes be spared?" Apple Bloom yawned, laying back down.

"I don't see why not," Scootaloo smiled, hopping off of her chair and going back into bed with the two of them.

"Cuddle Party!" Sweetie Belle proclaimed.

"Yeah, sure." Scootaloo playfully rolled her eyes.

She'd never been happier.
