Sweetie Belle is having a hard time coming to terms with telling her best friend and fellow Crusader Scootaloo that she likes her... as more than a friend, that is.

Following her directorial debut, Cheerilee sees fit to give Sweetie Belle the reigns in directing the next school play - which just happens to be "Harmony's Flowers", a romantic tale about the relationship between star-crossed lovers, a unicorn and a pegasus during the tumultuous period surrounding the passing of a law allowing marriages between the recently unified races of ponies.

With her feelings growing stronger, Sweetie Belle aims to use the play as a vehicle for telling Scootaloo her true feelings - what could possibly go wrong?

Comments and criticisms are appreciated. If there's something you don't like about the story, please let me know so I can avoid making those mistakes in the future.

Scootaloo has lived her life out in Ponyville, getting her cutie mark and being the town Mailmare, seemingly stuck in a rut for years. Sweetie Bell has been gone for nearly a year now, becoming a popular singer for "The Bells." One day Scootaloo gets a letter from her old friend saying that she's coming home for a visit...

Written from the perspective of Scootaloo somewhere around ten years in the future, this is my entry for the ScootaBelle contest: We got Our Cutie Marks!... Now What?

Edit: It won the contest!

Sweetie Belle has a crush on her best friend, and when she directs a school play staring Scootaloo as the heroine her world quickly comes crashing down around her.

So I once told a pre-reader of mine that I didn't write ship fics. Ooops.

This story was blatantly inspired by The plays the thing, but it's okay because the author of that fic HMXTaylorLee graciously agreed to pre-read and edit this for me anyway, so go check that out. Also thanks to Alovelylittlecomplex for (again?!) fixing my comma issues.
