Twilight stared at Pinkie Pie now with a look of annoyance on her face as the pink mare laughed insanely with her hooves on her sides. “Come on Pinkie, this is serious! Have you seen anypony new in town before today?” Twilight asked once again hoping to get a strait answer this time.

“Besides that Rose pony? Nopey-dopey!” The pink mare finally replied after she had managed to stop laughing.

“That doesn't bode well with me. If you didn't see them come into town, then that means they came here in secret. But why?” The purple unicorn asked herself aloud curiously with a expression of deep thought only for it to be interrupted by the pink mare patting her on the head.

“You look so cute!” Pinkie Pie remarked in a childish tone as she patted the purple unicorn on the head only for Twilight to give her a glare.

“Pinkie, I know how to mimic the spell Trixie did to remove your mouth.” The purple unicorn remarked aloud at which point Pinkie Pie suddenly halted her actions and stared at Twilight with a sheepish grin.

“Okie-dokey-loki! I won't tease you anymore! I need to get going anyways, the cakes need my help filling some orders!” The pink mare exclaimed before she zipped out of the library.

Twilight looked over at Spike whom was giving her a sad look. “Oh don't give me that look Spike, this is serious and I don't have time to play around with Pinkie with us being foals and you a freaking infant dragon!” Twilight exclaimed at the infant dragon in annoyance.

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

Rarity and Scootaloo both sat in the front room of the white unicorn's home now silently, not saying a word to one another.

“Rarity?”

“Yes Scootaloo?”

The filly stood up to all fours now and stared at Rarity. “I don't know what to think of those memories we have right now, but something about them is bugging me.” The Pegasus remarked aloud with a serious expression now.

“Scootaloo, I don't think those memories are real. I've been thinking about them ever since we got back and the more I do, the more I believe they are made up.” The white unicorn replied simply.

“Why would you think that? Isn't Twilight telling the truth?” Scootaloo asked curiously as she sat down in front of the white unicorn.

“I would hate to think so, but lets think about this Scootaloo, what in Equestria would posses me and you to date one another?” Rarity asked looking at the filly now.

“But that's just it, that's what is bugging me. They feel real to me, so real in fact that it feels like they happened not long ago.” The Pegasus replied looking at Rarity now.

“Scootaloo, you're probably too young to understand this, but unicorn magic can do much more than levitate things. It can create things that weren't there before and memories are no exception.” Rarity replied and sighed.

“Okay, so forget the memories for a moment. What does your heart tell you?” The orange Pegasus asked as she placed a hoof on Rarity's and continued to look into her eyes.

“My heart? Scootaloo, you can't possibly think...” Rarity began to say only to trail off as she stared into the Pegasus' eyes.

“I can't explain it, but I think these feelings are real. I know how you look at me times. You feel the same way, don't you?” The filly said as she looked at Rarity now whom was at a loss for words.

The unicorn continued to stare at Scootaloo now, trying to find words. She wanted to say “No, I don't feel anything towards you.” But every time she opened her mouth to speak, something deep inside her would seem to steal the words away as if telling her not to lie the Pegasus.

“Scootaloo I...” Rarity began to say but trailed off once again.

“What is wrong with me?! Why can't I just tell her that I don't feel anything?! Yet, I know that's not true... No, I refuse to believe it, I shan’t believe it! Me, in love with a filly? Absurd!” Rarity thought to herself now as her mind waged war with her heart.

“I see...” The Pegasus said after a few moments with a frown. “Guess it was my imagination after all.” Scootaloo remarked with a dejected sigh as she removed her hoof from atop of Rarity's, stood up, and walked away. “I'll be in my room.” The Pegasus said just before she walked upstairs and left the unicorn's sight.

“I wish it was your imagination Scootaloo...” Rarity remarked quietly aloud followed by a depressed sigh as she stood up and began to walk to the kitchen only to come to a screeching halt as she stared at what looked like a fairly large fragment of glass in the corner of workstation.

Curiously, the unicorn walked up to the fragment of glass, levitated it up with her magic and stared at it. “This doesn't look like window glass, it looks like glass from a mirror of some sort.” The unicorn remarked aloud as she twirled it slowly in a three hundred and sixty degree fashion.

“This looks familiar somehow but I can't place where. Oh well, to the trash can with you.” Rarity remarked aloud dismissively as she put the fragment of glass into the trashcan carefully. “I wonder what Sweetie Belle is doing right now?” The unicorn remarked aloud curiously only for a light to flash from within the trashcan so brightly that it caused the unicorn to whirl around and walk up to the trashcan.

“What in Equestria?” Rarity remarked aloud as she levitated the fragment out of the trashcan which was glowing brightly still until an image began to appear in it.

“Why can't she understand? I thought that helping her get those memories back would make her remember everything, not just bits and pieces.”

“Sw-Sweetie Belle?! B-But how?!” The unicorn exclaimed in confusion as she continued to stare at her little sister though the mirror fragment. She was alone right now and she looked like she was crying. It was also clear to her now that her little sister could not hear her.

“Maybe I wasn't trying to get them back together for them, maybe I was doing it prove something to myself. So that when I looked in the mirror I could see a mare instead of a foal.” Sweetie Belle remarked aloud and sighed before she batted at her reflection in the water before turning away and sighed once again.

“But I was wrong, I'm just a foal. An ignorant filly in love with a mare three times her age.” The filly remarked aloud as a tear shed from her right eye and streaked down her cheek.

It was at the point that Twilight's words rang in Rarity's head like a gong.

“Rarity, Sweetie Belle may be young, but you don't give her enough credit. She's wise beyond her years, and behaves a lot more maturely than other fillies her age.” Twilight commented as she walked up next to Rarity and sat next to her.

Rarity watched as the image on the mirror began to flicker and fade and sighed heavily as she looked upstairs to the room where Scootaloo now stayed. “The memories are far too real to ignore, but I can't...” The unicorn filly said aloud and sighed once again as a silent tear streaked down her cheek.

(play Song of the heart now)

(Rarity)

♫ Not so long ago, in a memory not so far away...♫

♫ I remember a fire deep within, now glowing as faint as an ember...♫

Rarity walked over to the photograph of Scootaloo now and stared at it and sighed again.

♫ Why can't I recall the things I wish to know, the things my heart yearns to remember...♫

♫ What can I do, what can I say?♫

Rarity put the photograph down now and stared at the dress as Scootaloo lay on the bed in her room with tears streaming down her cheeks.

(Scootaloo)

♫I feel the fire of love deep within my soul, yet I am only a foal.♫

♫ What do these feelings mean to me?♫

♫ Is the love I feel for her not meant to be?♫

♫What is wrong with me?♫

♫Why can't I be rid of these memories?♫

The sun began to set now as the filly looked out her bedroom window and sighed as Rarity walked to the foot of the stairs and looked through the door which was cracked.

(Rarity)

♫ Why do these memories torture me so?♫

♫Is it that my hooves fear to tread where my heart yearns to go?♫

(Rarity and Scootaloo)

♫Somepony please reignite the fire inside!♫

♫Unleash these feelings that I bide!♫

♫Give me the courage to follow the path from which I hide!♫

Rarity walked away from the foot of the stairs now and to her mannikins which stood stationary before her.

(Rarity)

♫I don't know what to do, what to say...♫

♫What I feel now shouldn't be okay...♫

♫But deep within my heart glowing as dim as an ember...♫

♫Is a fire inside that my heart yearns to remember...♫

(Scootaloo)

♫Why is it so hard for anypony to see...♫

♫That some things are just meant to be.♫

♫The feelings in my heart are not easy to quell.♫

♫For the mare downstairs which my heart has fell.♫

♫Yet I do not know why.♫

♫It is enough to make me cry...♫

(Scootaloo and Rarity)

♫Are we truly meant to be?♫

♫Oh, the path is so hard you see...♫

♫Somepony, anypony...♫

♫Please reignite the fire inside!♫

♫Unleash these feelings that I bide!♫

♫Give me the courage to follow the path from which I hide!♫

Rarity now walked up the stairs though her legs shook violently as with each step.

♫Do I dare walk this path my hooves fear to tread?♫

♫What events would lie ahead?♫

♫I wish I could know.♫

♫But even so...♫

Rarity opened the door to Scootaloo's room now and stared at her with a soft yet teary smile at which point Scootaloo looked over to her smiling back with the same tear smile.

“Rarity, I'm sorry. I never meant to-” The Pegasus began to say only for the unicorn to place a hoof softly on her mouth while she continued to smile at her.

(Rarity)

♫Not so long ago, in a memory not so far away..♫

(Scootaloo)

♫Oh, How I wish I could be with you this day...♫

(Scootaloo and Rarity)

♫Reignite the flame inside!♫
♫Help me unleash these feelings that I bide!♫

♫Give me the courage to follow this path from which I no longer hide!♫

Mere moments after the two spoke, their lips locked and the two shared a kiss of passion that reignited that flame the two once knew. It was at this exact moment that the two knew the their love for one another was real. That it was not a figment of their imaginations.

“I love you Rarity.” Scootaloo said after they broke their kiss and held one another in a loving embrace.

“I Love you too Scootaloo, I don't know why or how, but this just feels right.” Rarity replied in a soft tone as she held the Pegasus.

“But I thought you said the memories weren't real? And what happens when Twilight reverses the spell on you?” The Pegasus asked in a soft tone as she nuzzled the unicorn affectionately.

“I don't know...but for now, lets take things as they come shall we?” Rarity replied in a soft tone as she nuzzled the Pegasus back in the same affectionate manner.

Unknown to the Pegasus however, a war still raged within the unicorn. A part of her now dreaded becoming an adult mare again yet another part of her couldn't wait for it. But for now, she buried these feelings of conflict...
