What's the Big Deal?
“So Diamond Tiara had her first kiss, huh?”
“Yup.”
Scootaloo brushed her mane out of her eyes. “I just don’t see what the big deal is. Why does one kiss suddenly make her cooler than everypony else?”
Sweetie Belle shrugged. “Probably because she was the most popular filly in our class anyway?”
“Maybe,” Scootaloo muttered. “But so what? It’s just a kiss. Now Rumble’s suddenly the most sought-after colt in the class.” She shook her head. “Hay, even Button Mash has fillies interested in him now.”
“Well, even Rarity was super interested in first kisses when she was our age.” Sweetie laid down on the clubhouse floor. “When I asked her what the fuss was about, she told me this half-hour long story of her first kiss.” Sweetie Belle groaned.
Rolling her eyes, Scootaloo said, “Well, that’s Rarity. Of course she’d be super interested in mushy lovey-dovey stuff like that. I mean, she’s obsessed with romance novels and everything, so she’s not really a good pony to ask.”
“Yeah.” Sweetie propped her head on her hoof. “I just wanted to ask somepony who I knew still cherished the memory. If we’d have asked somepony like Rainbow Dash, we probably wouldn’t have gotten any answers.”
Scootaloo rubbed the back of her neck. “Actually…” She looked at her friend. “I kind of did ask Dash. She just grinned and told me it was totally awesome, partly because her first kiss was with a close friend, so they were a little more comfortable with each other.”
“Really?” Sweetie Belle sat up. “Did she say who it was with?”
Shaking her head, Scootaloo said, “Nah. She just grinned and had this far-off look for a moment, then told me to make sure my first kiss is with someone awesome.”
“Oh.” Sweetie Belle sighed. Then her eyes widened and she whipped her head back toward Scootaloo. “Wait, so she endorsed having a first kiss with a friend?”
Scootaloo fidgeted. “Well… not exactly. She just said to make sure it’s with someone awesome.”
Sweetie Belle wiped her forehead. “Phew! That’s a relief. Can you imagine if you and Apple Bloom or you and me kissed?” She laughed. “That would be so awkward.”
“Yeah. It would be.” Scootaloo chuckled with her friend. After their laughter died out, she scooted closer to her friend. “So who would you want to kiss?”
Rolling her eyes, Sweetie Belle said, “I don’t know. Honestly, I think this first kiss craze is stupid. It’s kind of like cutie marks all over again.” She sighed and looked at the quarter note on her flank. “We only just got over that. I mean, I’d like to see what it’s like, but I kind of want things to be normal for once.”
Scootaloo nodded. “Yeah, that makes sense. It is kind of dumb.” She shifted. “But—but I’m kind of curious.” She bit her lip and looked into Sweetie Belle’s eyes. “I just want to know what the big deal is.”
Sweetie Belle wrapped an arm around Scootaloo. She smiled weakly, the corner of her mouth twitching upward. “Aw, Scoots…” Her cheek rubbed against Scootaloo’s in a tender nuzzle. “It’ll happen someday. You’ve just gotta let it happen.”
A weight lifted from the pit of Scootaloo’s stomach at the gesture. She smiled. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” She nuzzled Sweetie Belle back.
The two sat in companionable silence for a while before Scootaloo had a thought. She turned to Sweetie Belle, her heart racing out of control.
“Hey, uh, Sweetie Belle?”
Tilting her head, Sweetie Belle turned to her friend. “Yeah, Scootaloo?”
Scootaloo rubbed the back of her neck. “Aren’t you at least a little curious what it’s like?”
Sweetie Belle hummed thoughtfully. “A little. I mean, Rarity talks about kissing and love and romance all the time. But I don’t really see what’s so special about it.” She saw Scootaloo slump. “Why?”
“What—” Scootaloo cleared her throat. “What if we kissed?” Her hooves shot up in front of her when she saw Sweetie Belle frown. “Y’know, just to try it out. Since we know each other and stuff.”
“I dunno, Scoots. Is that really a good idea?” Sweetie Belle’s eyes wavered.
Scootaloo scratched her head. “Well, it worked for Rainbow Dash…”
Sweetie Belle looked into Scootaloo’s eyes. Their gaze tentatively met, then broke, then met again. Butterflies danced in her stomach. Should we? She bit her lip. Slowly, she nodded.
The two leaned in, before pausing. Blushes spread across their faces, and they briefly giggled. Sweetie Belle bit her lip again and saw Scootaloo taking a deep breath. They hesitated, then leaned in again.
The first thing Scootaloo noticed was the faint scent of perfume on Sweetie Belle. Does Sweetie normally wear perfume? Or maybe she picked it up from Rarity... Either way, she quite enjoyed the smell. She thought about letting Sweetie Belle know, but decided that the moment was awkward enough.
She felt Sweetie Belle’s breath faintly tickle her cheek when they were only inches apart. A faint giggle escaped her, and she saw Sweetie Belle’s cheek turn a deeper shade of crimson.
Then at last, their lips met. Her eyes widened at the realization. They mashed their lips together in a sloppy, slobbery embrace. Sweetie Belle’s lips were too soft and moist, and hers were too hard and dry. She tried to relax, but found her lips unwilling to cooperate, instead continuing to smash against Sweetie Belle’s. They pulled away panting.
Drool ran down Sweetie Belle’s cheek and she wiped it away. Her gaze turned toward Scootaloo, then darted away. Her cheeks felt hot and flushed, and the butterflies were now turning her stomach upside down. “F—first kisses. Not a big deal, right?” She tried to grin at Scootaloo.
Scootaloo licked her lips. She brushed her mane out of her face again. “Yeah, definitely not.” She tried to laugh, but it felt forced.
Sweetie Belle looked down at the treehouse’s floor. Finding the scratches and gaps in the flooring was so very appealing all of a sudden—much more appealing than discussing what had just happened. But she felt a hoof lift her head, and then she was staring at Scootaloo’s face.
Scootaloo’s face was still flush. Her eyes flickered over Sweetie Belle’s. “So,” she whispered. Sweetie Belle looked into her eyes, waiting. “First kisses suck. But what about second kisses?”
Sweetie Belle giggled before they moved in again. She took a deep breath before gently pressing her lips against Scootaloo’s.
Their movements were slower this time and more measured. Their lips danced, briefly touching before pulling away. They giggled as they played their game of tag, taking turns chasing and being chased.
After a while, they pulled away, still laughing. They sprawled out on their backs, laying side-by-side.
Scootaloo turned to Sweetie Belle. “Second kisses are way better.”
Sweetie giggled and wrapped her leg behind Scootaloo. “Totally.”
The treehouse door swung open, and Apple Bloom walked in. “Hey, girls, sorry I’m late! I—” She looked at her friends curled up together. “Did I interrupt somethin’?”
Sweetie Belle smiled at Scootaloo. “Oh, we were just talking.”
“Yeah,” Scootaloo said. “That first kiss craze at school is so dumb.”

A cute little bit of fluff. Woulda been nice to see a bit more from the friends... or the reaction from Rarity in the cover art.
Still, nice and light.
Interesting concept.
I have one question: Is there more to come from this, or did you mark it "incomplete" by mistake?
I only ask because I think this is already fairly good if it's supposed to be a one-shot...
Anyway, thanks for writing!
5031742
I had two choices for cover art, and this one was the more cleanly drawn of the two. Unfortunately, I was unable to crop Rarity out of the picture. I suppose I could have used GIMP, but hindsight is 20/20.
As for the reactions, I might do that in a sequel. It was kind of the point that nobody knew, though.
5031791
Thanks!
5032651
Derp. I had it marked as incomplete while it was still just an idea, and I never changed it. As per usual, it's just a one-shot.
5032732
Well, we all make mistakes from time to time.
For example, after I posted my previous comment, I went to check a couple of my notifications. As a result, I forgot to click the favorite button for this story...
At least mistakes such as these can be corrected easily.
I guess either Flutthershy, Applejack, or Twlight...
Just a hunch...
5032826 Gilda.
5032886
Yea, there is that... but wouldn't she also kinda of hate it and regret it now because she and Gilda are no longer friends because of the argument... or is it just me thinking this? No idea, so, yeah.....
5032905 Then I am sure it is Fluttershy, since they have been friends since they were fillies. She isn't as close to anyone else on the Mane 6...
5032905
5032914
I had a specific pony in mind, but I'll keep quiet on that. It's fun to watch people theorize!
5032914
That is so true... also makes a lot of sense
Rainbow has known Fluttershy for awhile, Rainbow also thinks pegasi are "awesome", which most likely points to Fluttershy...
Yea, makes a lot of sense.
5032966
Well, guessing is fun and all, but, if you are to never tell who it is... really no point to keep us guessing. So, can you tell us sometime in the future? Please?
5032969 Since ThatOneWriter just said he/she had a specific pony in mind, and was gonna watch us theorize...F IT ALL TWIDASH OTP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sorry for saying that.
5032994
leedle leedle lee
Yup, kinda wish it is Twidash (sort of- kind of- may be-may be not- who knows)
5033097 Only time will tell. Hopefully.
Adorableness
love Scootabelle.
Would love to see a sequel, to see where their relationship goes. Apple Bloom seemed a bit suspicious.
I woke up, checked my feed, and saw that you posted this story.
I immediately read it right afterwards. And it was awesome! I'm kind of interested in the story behind Diamond Tiara's now though, or a crack involving Button's inevitable harem.
And Applebloom is forever alone.
As for RD's first kiss, I'm gonna guess either Fluttershy or Gilda since she probably did it when she was a filly.
Plus, I'm not sure how you're supposed to kiss a freaking beak ?
This was adorable and very well written.
I award you with a cookie in your near future and possibly a nice bright sunny day
~Tobben
5034090
Nah, it's Scooterrific.
5032978
Aw, but I would've enjoyed a good shipping war.
Fine. I had FlutterDash in mind. I don't really ship it anymore, but I still have a headcanon of them being together at some point before the show.
5034257
I kind of imagined DT just picking Rumble just so she could be first for that, so I don't think I'd come up with anything interesting for it. The Button Mash thing, though, I may do at some point. We'll see.
5034293
It's ScootaBelle, the best kind of madness! Apple Bloom probably pairs off later, but I dunno. I don't know enough about their classmates to find someone to pair her with.
5034212
I won't rule out a sequel, but currently I have no plans or ideas for a sequel. I always welcome spinoffs, though, if someone wants to do that.
5035252
Ooh, cookie! My only weakness~
The sunny day looks to be delayed, though. It's been nothing but clouds and rain all weekend.
That was totally cute. Nice slice of pie that was. Those two being secret fillyfriends is pretty nostalgic. Good stuff.
I wonder if Rumble ever got seconds, too? That is a cute ship. Who would Apple Bloom's first kiss be with?
5035447
How would she even hear about the craze if she didn't have some sort of crush to begin with? Surely Diamond being able to pick any colt she wanted must of felt something? Even girls who pick others for their looks tend to feel something. Their young and it's supposed to be a big deal. Ha, she could even have just made it a big deal because she liked Rumble but maybe he didn't want a filly and wanted to slow things down and hurt DT's feelings? Maybe even going so far as to create the first kiss thing to hide the fact that she was let down by Rumble who just didn't feel or know what to feel at DT expressing her feelings all a sudden to him.
DT is pretty prideful. If ponies knew she got dumped they'd be talking about it for ages. But if she took control of the situation and talked about how SHE felt about the first kiss and hype it up, drop a thing about the two maybe taking time apart or felt they were rushing a bit (who knows) then she saves face and Rumble's indecisiveness just leaves DT feeling hurt inside despite the ruse.
Eh, DT just throwing away a kiss when they don't even let other foals near them just feels boring and lazy. All ponies deserve a good story, and I vote Button x Twist for first kiss.
5039180
I tend to pair off RumbleBloom whenever I write ScootaBelle, but in this particular case, I'm not really sure. Avoiding my tendency to pair up Spoon and Tiara kind of messed things up.
5039200
Their ages are ambiguous, of course, but my thought process was that they were at the age when they'd start getting curious about romance. Diamond Tiara strikes me as the sort who stays on top by dictating what the trends are crazes are, so once the first crush situation entered the picture, Tiara made sure she was the first to have their first kiss. It was a little sloppy of me to not update on what happened to their relationship, but I think they end up like a celebrity couple. A big fuss is made about them, they're made more popular over it, and then they fall apart a year or so later (or maybe even less. They're young teens, after all.) I didn't give much thought to how much Tiara has matured in this timeline, but she probably breaks it off first, as you said.

Thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a cool story, never had my first kiss though.. I'm 14, is that weird?
But it was a cool story,
Greeting Lightning Spark
PS: I have no idea how I should end a letter in English, (was this right) because I'm Dutch..
5040342 Um...
I'm 20 and still never had a first kiss
I've been saving it for a really special young lady who I have yet to find yet
5040342
Nah, being 14 and not having a first kiss or a girlfriend/boyfriend isn't that odd, at least in America. I doubt that things are much different in your country.
P.S. The only thing you did wrong was using a greeting at the end, rather than something like "Sincerely", "Signed", etc. That's not really necessary in a comment, though. It's a bit informal.
5040497
Nothing wrong with that. I know people who've never dated anyone at all, at least as of our graduation from high school. I don't really think it's anything to worry over. And as I kind of expressed in the story, first kisses are really more of a milestone than anything. They tend to be awkward, because you have no idea what you're doing. (It may not be that bad, though, because if you're an adult, odds are that your date has dating experience, and that sort of helps things.)
5040601 okay, no greetings, I just randomly think of that cause it kinda looks te same as 'groetjes' (kinda) and that's a Dutch thing to end a letter, and I know I shouldn't really use it in comments, but its fun!
Sincerely Lightning Spark
PS: thanks for the advise!
5040497 well, that's good to know, thanks, you'll find the one!
Sincerly, Lightning Spark
PS: you're older than me..
5040669 Thank you, and I am sure you will too
5040680 I would send a smiley back, but I am on my phone so..
I'm gonna see if i know one smiley name out of my head! Uuh..
:TwilightSmile:
Didn't work
Yes!
You've gotta love editing!
5040656
No problem!
My vote for RD's first is, of course, Flutters. I just love the idea of them having a fillyhood fling in their past.
This was cute and enjoyable. I'd read more of it.
enjoyable
Cutest thing I have ever read. Ever.
Tee hee, what a cute story, Adorable!
Hnng! dies of cuteness induced heart attack.
5042655 There was a vote? Who's the other option?
That was such a fun story!
These little dorks are so cute. Did you know that the average person has about 10 kisses per week?

10 a week? I mean, I guess that's not that much, but I apparently need to step up my game.

Awww. So cute
