	I woke up when I heard a knock at the door. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, thinking who could be coming over this early. Looking over to Sweetie's bed, I noticed that she wasn't there. I shrugged it off and got out of bed. "Who in the hay could be coming over at this time?" I walked out of our room and went to the front door.
It's been three months since I had moved in to Rarity's house. I was still a little upset about what had happened, but it didn't bother me like it used to. There were some nights when I would cry myself to sleep thinking about it. Though, as the days went by, Sweetie Belle and I continued to grow closer and closer together in our relationship. She's the kind of filly that anypony would be lucky to have, and I was the filly that she wanted to be with. It always put a smile on my face knowing that nothing could come between us.
I finally reached the front door when there was another knock, "Who is it?"
"It's me!" called an energetic voice, along with the faint sound of buzzing wings.
I opened the door and smiled when I found Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash standing on the other side, "Hey! What's up?"
"I thought I'd stop by and see Applejack about taking her to Sugar Cube Corner so she can get a job over there," Rainbow Dash announced. "I also thought I'd drop off Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle before Rarity gripes at me about Sweetie Belle staying over at Fluttershy's for too long. I don't know what she's so worried about though, she knows Fluttershy is good with foals."
I tilted my head in confusion, "Sweetie Belle was at Fluttershy's?"
"Yeah, she and I over there for the night to help Fluttershy take care of some animals," Scootaloo interrupted.
"Where is she?"
"She's probably still walking, she was really tired when she woke up."
In my mind I couldn't help but feel a little betrayed. Sweetie Belle went over to Fluttershy's and didn't even bother to ask if I wanted to go with her. "So, did anything exciting happen?"
Scootaloo's face turned a beep shade of red, "N-Not really."
"Scootaloo, are you feeling alright? Your face is redder than the apples back at the orchard."
"I-I'm fine...nothing happened. Don't get your bow in a twist."
Sweetie Belle finally came walking up along the road, her eyelids drooping down, "I'm here."
I ran up to her and gave her a hug and a quick kiss on the lips, "Hey Sweetie Pie, how've you been."
"I've been better. Scootaloo really wore me out last night."
I looked over at Scootaloo and narrowed my eyes, "How'd she do that?"
"We stayed up late having fun."
Scootaloo's face got even redder, "S-She's probably still a little out of it, nothing happened at all, honest."
"If nothing happened, then why are you getting even redder. Are you two hiding something?"
Sweetie Belle looked at me and frowned, "Apple Bite, I'm sorry."
I looked back at Sweeite Belle, "For what? What happened?"
"Scootaloo and I kinda had a make-out session."
My eyes widened, "You two did what!?!"
"We made out and then some other things kind of happened as well."
"What other things?"
"I'm just gonna go inside..." Scootaloo started walking towards the door.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Scootaloo froze and turned back to face me. I looked back down at Sweetie Belle, anger starting to fill my eyes, "What other things?"
"W-We 'cuddled' together."
Before I could stop myself, I had smacked Sweetie Belle, "How could you?"
Sweetie Belle was on the ground, wiping a little bit of spit off of her lip, "I'm sorry."
"I cannot believe this! You went and had and affair with her!" I pointed at Scootaloo who was now shaking in fear. "What were you thinking?"
"I'm sorry babe..."
"Don't call me 'babe'!" I started walking off down the road, leaving Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shaking in fear behind me.
