A month had past now since the events that had passed and while it felt like a lifetime ago, the memories were still fresh in the white unicorn's mind. How she found out about her little sister and Cheerilee's relationship, the many years she spent with Scootaloo in the alternate dimension, and how her mind was opened up to a whole new world. Times like now when she thought about it, how she had fallen in love with Scootaloo, the fact she was dating a filly, and the very fact that she had kissed her last week on the lips, caused her mind and body to go spiraling out of control with a combination of guilt, conflict, and happiness.

She still had yet to find a way to jump over her final hurdle though. The one line that once crossed was the point of no return, that one act that in everypony's eyes, was a vile and contemptible act when performed with a filly. She had no idea if she could even bring herself to do it. For the first time in her life, her moral compass was spinning rapidly and was in no way able to give her any sure direction in which to take this.

Fortunately for her, Scootaloo was in no rush. The unicorn was amazed at the filly's understanding. But she also knew that the Pegasus didn't want to wait forever. “What am I going to do? I love her yet...she's still only a filly.” Rarity remarked out loud and sighed.

As if sensing her inner conflict, Twilight opened the front door of the carousel boutique and walked up next to her as the white unicorn stared at photograph of Scootaloo. “Not having second thoughts are we?” Twilight asked curiously as she looked at Rarity now with a look of concern.

“Quite the opposite Twilight, but there is still one thing I can't seem to pin point.” Rarity remarked thoughtfully still looking at the photograph before she turned to look at Twilight. “How did you do it Twilight?” Rarity asked curiously which caused the purple unicorn to stare at her in confusion.

“How did I what?” Twilight asked curiously.

“Break Cheerilee, how did you do it? Sweetie Belle told me everything you know.” Rarity replied and stared at Twilight.

“Oh, that.” Twilight replied as she flattened her ears with a guilty expression. “It's not something I like to talk about. I took a gamble with her and I messed with her mind and emotions. It was a foalish thing of me to do.” Twilight replied and sighed shortly afterward.

“Can you do it again?” Rarity asked curiously which caused the purple unicorn to blink several times in confusion.

“I'm not following...” Twilight replied completely oblivious to what the white unicorn was asking.

“I want you to break me Twilight, break me like you did Cheerilee.” Rarity replied with a dead serious expression.

Upon hearing these words, the purple unicorn's mind was sent reeling as she backed away from the white unicorn in disbelief and ended up tripping over a manikin, knocking it over along her falling onto her rump. “Are you insane?! I would never do something like that to you! Besides, I had the element of mystery with Cheerilee, it doesn't work if you already know.” Twilight replied as she finally managed to regain her composure and stand on all fours again.

“Then make me forget and do it. I'm desperate Twilight, I know Scootaloo wants my touch, but I can't bring myself to. I keep looking at her and seeing a foal, instead of the adult mare I knew. I don't want to see a foal anymore Twilight. I want to see the mare I love!” Rarity exclaimed as she walked up to Twilight and stared at her.

“Rarity, I think you need to take a step back and think for a moment. Calm down and collect yourself.” Twilight replied as she gently pushed the white unicorn away from her to give herself some breathing room.

Without warning the white unicorn fell to her stomach and sobbed loudly. “I'm so confused Twilight! I don't know what to think anymore!” Rarity exclaimed between sobs now as she stared at the purple unicorn.

---------------------------------------------

“And then she just broke down in front of me. I've never seen her so messed up Cheerilee. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if her and Scootaloo being together is such a good idea anymore.” Twilight remarked as she ran a hoof through her mane and sighed.

“Well your plan was to hook her up with Scootaloo all along was it not?” Cheerilee asked curiously as she began to work on her lunch.

“Actually no it wasn't. I never expected Scootaloo to fall for Rarity in the first place. But when she did, I thought it would be good way to get her to see the world from our perspective. Problem was, by the time she fell for Scootaloo, the filly had matured into an adult mare in that dimension. It was sheer chance that I was able to help her see Scootaloo for who she is and not the filly she saw.” Twilight replied and sighed dejectedly.

“But that in itself is the problem now. She's head over hooves in love with Scootaloo, but she can't stop seeing her as a filly. I honest to Luna think this very fact it driving her insane, literally!” Twilight exclaimed as she stared at Cheerilee now whom stopped what she was doing to look at her now.

“Maybe you should break her then Twilight. Choose the lesser of the two evils and break her mind down before she loses it completely. It worked for me didn't it?” Cheerilee replied after a few tense moments.

“No, I won't do that to her. Besides, I took a gamble with you. When I look back at my plan, it had so many holes in it that it would make Swiss cheese look good. And you saw where that led us...” Twilight replied as a depressing silence ensued between the two mares.

“Then make the two forget. Make them forget about me and Sweetie Belle, make them forget everything that has happened.” Cheerilee suggested and stared out the window now at Sweetie Belle whom was playing with Scootaloo.

“Cheerilee, you do realize that if I did that...” Twilight replied but trailed off as if unable to finish her sentence.

“Sweetie Belle and I would have to keep our relationship a secret from her again. Yes, I know.”

“I can only manage a spell like this once or I risk damaging their minds permanently.” Twilight replied as she looked at Cheerilee now.

“I understand Twilight. And I'm sure Sweetie Belle would understand, especially if it meant saving her sister's mind.” Cheerilee replied and sighed once again.

“Very well then, gather everypony together.” Twilight replied and sighed.

After all that's happened, after all the trials Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee have gone through, they are back to square one. I wish things didn't turn out this way...

--------------------------------------------

“Why are we here again?” Scootaloo asked curiously as she sat next to Rarity with a hoof on hers while Cheerilee sat along side of Sweetie Belle.

“I'm going to cast a spell that will make you all get over all your problems. I've been working on this ever since last month and I’ve perfected it!” Twilight exclaimed with the best smile she could put on despite the guilt she was feeling for lying to everypony's face with the exception of Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle who knew exactly what was about to happen.

“I can't tell you how much this means to us Twilight.” Rarity remarked with a teary smile as she held Scootaloo's hoof now tightly at which point the purple unicorn turned around quickly and bit her lip so hard that it bled a little as she did her best to not tear up.

“Pull it together Twilight, you can do this, it's for the best...right?” The purple unicorn thought to herself stoically as she turned around to face the five. “Right, here we go.” Twilight said aloud and began to channel magic into her horn.

A few minuets had past now and her horn was glowing so brightly now that it was nearly blinding and in the next moment the light from her horn flashed brightly as a wave of magic expelled throughout the room.

They will forget everything...

Scootaloo then walked up the unicorn, put each of her forehooves on Rarity's shoulders, and shook her but not harshly as she spoke. “There are things more important than watching your sister every waking moment of the day!” The Pegasus exclaimed in a fierce tone only for the unicorn to yank away from her.

“You don't understand!” Rarity exclaimed as she walked away from her now.
“What don't I understand” Scootaloo asked as she walked up to her, whirled her around and exclaimed the words “Tell me!” in a fierce tone to her face.

“You didn't get ponynapped and held against your will so you could be converted you into a filly fiddler by a twisted unicorn!” Rarity exclaimed in a pissed off tone.

“Twilight may be many things, but she would never do that! She brought you here so you could understand, not convert you!” Scootaloo exclaimed trying to defend the purple unicorn while at the same time talk sense into the hysterical mare.

“You didn't see her ignore this mare, that mare, and come after you!” Rarity retorted in a hysterical tone with a glare as tears streamed from her eyes now which left an awkward silence between the two.

“For Celestia's sake Rarity, is that what you think she did?” Scootaloo asked in a stunned tone as tears swelled in her eyes as another awkward silence ensued for a short time before the unicorn finally spoke.

“I-I don't know.” Rarity replied as she moved the filly's hooves from her shoulders once again and walked away.

“Rarity, stop obsessing over Cheerilee and Sweetie Belle's relationship and take a look at what's in front of you.” Scootaloo replied her voice cracking as she spoke now.

“What are you saying?” Rarity asked as she turned around and looked at the Pegasus with a confused look.
Scootaloo then walked up to the unicorn and placed a hoof on her cheek.“Me, Rarity. I-I love you.” Scootaloo replied, stuttering as she spoke now.

“Y-You love me?” Rarity replied in a shocked tone as her eyes grew wide now as she slowly leaned in without realizing it and locked lips with the Pegasus only to yank away a mere few seconds later. “I-I can't!” Rarity exclaimed as she turned away from the Pegasus to walk away only for Scootaloo to place a hoof on her shoulder which caused her to stop in place and look back at her.

“Rarity, I'm nearly a full grown mare now. It's okay. You won't be a filly fiddler, I promise.” Scootaloo said in a soft tone as she slowly turned the mare around and locked lips with her once again. This time however Rarity didn't resist and melted into her kisses with the Pegasus.

Rarity and Scootaloo's eyes became blank now as the memory seemingly vanished from their minds...

Everything...

“For me?!” Scootaloo exclaimed in shock and disbelief at the beautiful dress that the unicorn now levitated before her eyes.

“Yes. After all, I have had nothing better to do than make dresses darling.” Rarity replied with a warm smile.

“Wow, this is, wow.” Scootaloo remarked aloud with a blush as she looked over the dress.

“I would very much like to see you in it.” Rarity replied at which point the Pegasus could have sworn her heart had skipped a beat.

“R-Really?” Scootaloo asked blushing furiously now.

Tears now streamed from Twilight's eyes now as sorrow and sadness filled her heart. Every single memory she was erasing, every emotion they felt, every single flare of love, she felt it which caused the purple unicorn so much grief knowing she was removing these memories.

Everything will be as it was before...

“Stop away from my sister you sick mare!” Rarity roared as she barreled down on Cheerilee whom stood in front of Sweetie Belle now.

“Please Rarity, try to understand!” Cheerilee exclaimed in a desperate tone the fear clear in her voice.

“Oh I understand alright, you are a sick and twisted mare who gets her kicks from molesting unsuspecting fillies! Now back away from her or you won't live to regret it!” Rarity exclaimed as she grew closer and closer only for Sweetie Belle to jump from behind Cheerilee and stand in front of her.

“Sweetie Belle, don't try to protect me. I don't want anything to happen to you.” Cheerilee said in a panicked tone as the filly walked up to Rarity stopping her older sister just short of the earth pony.

“Move aside Sweetie Belle, I'm not upset with you. But this mare, she knew what she was doing, she knew what she was doing every time she...” Rarity trailed off unable to say the words as her rage filled her more than ever.

“So did I! Stop treating me like I’m a foal! I'm practically a teenager for pony's sake! I love Cheerilee! So bucking deal with it!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in a pissed off tone with an expression to match it which caused the mare to be taken back at first but her sister's words.

“Don't worry Sweetie Belle, after I deal with this mare, we'll get you some real help and you'll see exactly what she had done to you.” Rarity said in a soft tone to her younger sister before she moved her to the side with magic and prepared to charge only for Twilight to appear in front of her.

“Rarity, What's going on?! I heard shouts on my way to Fluttershy's house.” Twilight asked in a worried tone at which point the unicorn pointed a shaking hoof at Cheerilee.

“This mare right here, she messed with Sweetie Belle! She-She...” Rarity attempted to say only to trail off feeling her words become overpowered by her sheer rage.

“I understand.” Twilight replied in a solemn tone as she looked over at Cheerilee.

Even though Rarity's eyes were blank now, tears could be seen streaming from them now.

Only Sweetie Belle and Cheerilee shall remember...

---------------------------------------------

Twilight now sat in a corner of carousel boutique as Rarity and Scootaloo lay unconscious due to the effects of the spell.

“Twilight, are you okay?” Sweetie Belle asked in a concerned tone after a few moments.

“I could feel everything they felt, the conflict within Rarity's heart, their love for one another, and the despair they felt with each memory that vanished...” Twilight said softly as her eyes streamed with tears.

“This was the right thing you have done for them Twilight. Now they will be able to love their lives normally again.” Cheerilee said in a soft tone.

“If what I did was right, why does it feel so wrong?” Twilight asked softly.

“We should get them to their beds.” Cheerilee suggested as she walked over to Rarity as Sweetie Belle walked up to Scootaloo and looked at her.

“What about Scootaloo? Where is she going to live now?” The unicorn filly asked looking worried now.

“I made sure not to remove some memories related to the events that happened. They will know why they live together, but they will know nothing of their relationship.” Twilight remarked as she managed to stand up to all four hooves with a sniffle as she wiped her nose.

Unknown to the purple unicorn however, another force was at work. As anypony knows, love is not so easily destroyed...

Scootaloo awoke with a start sitting up abruptly and looking about herself in alarm. “What happened? Why am I in my bed?” The orange Pegasus asked herself curiously.

“Don't you remember? You stayed up late last night and passed out helping Rarity with her dress.” Sweetie Belle said with a smile having been told by Twilight exactly what to say when she awoke.

“Oh, right.” Scootaloo replied with a smile yet for some reason something felt off. She couldn't quite place it, but something felt different. Regardless, she got out of bed and walked down stairs to see Rarity whom was working on a dress.

“Good morning Rarity.” Scootaloo greeted with an upbeat smile.

“Good morning Scootaloo, how did you sleep?” Rarity asked as she turned to look at the filly only to stare as did the orange Pegasus.

Sweetie Belle looked at the two taking note of how they looked at one another and thought for a fleeting moment that the spell had failed.

“It's strange, somehow something feels off today.” Rarity remarked aloud thoughtfully as she attempted to place the feeling she felt towards the orange Pegasus now but was having about as much luck as Scootaloo was whom was feeling the same thing at the exact moment.

“I know the feeling, something has felt off from the moment I woke up this morning.” Scootaloo replied with a soft giggle.

“Oh well, it's probably nothing.” The white unicorn replied after a few more moments as she turned around to resume sewing.

As she turned around however, the orange Pegasus found herself staring at Rarity's tail and wishing she would lift it with a lust filling her body and mind that she was completely unaware of for a few moments until she felt her hind quarters dampen and grow very warm at which point she shook her head furiously and sighed. “Why the hay did I feel like diving face first into her hindquarters for? She adopted me for pony's sake! I'll just grab Rainbow Dash for some fun to get this lust out of my system.” Scootaloo thought to herself in a scolding manner before she turned around and left the carousel boutique without another word.

“Big sis, is something wrong?” Sweetie Belle asked in a concerned tone a few minutes later taking note of the white unicorn's inability to sew anything properly at the moment despite her best efforts.

“I'm not sure Sweetie Belle, but I can't seem to concentrate at the moment. I can't quite figure out why. I suppose I'll get some fresh air myself.” Rarity replied and left the building a few moments later.

The unicorn filly then walked over to the dress that her older sister was working on, took a look at it, and flattened her ears. “Oh horsefeathers, this can't be good.” The filly remarked in a worried tone and ran out of the house herself leaving the dress on the floor with these words sewed into them:
