They then left the Carousel Boutique and they started their walk to go and see if Rainbow Dash would allow Sweetie Belle to live with her and Scootaloo. "Rainbow Dash will say yes Sweetie, don't worry..." She whispered Sweetie Belle only nodded. "But then we'll need to tell Rainbow what happened cuz she will get curious so we'll have to spill the beans to her too." Scootaloo giggled. "I'm not worried about that. She was happy for me when I told her that I liked fillies so it shouldn't be a problem." Sweetie Belle chuckled. "When we tell her about what Rarity said, she won't be happy..." Scootaloo raised an eyebrow. "At us or Rarity?" "Rarity of course. No doubt after we tell her everything, she'll go over there and have words about it." "Yeah, that's true." The two stopped and shared a little kiss and intertwined their tails together before they continued their walk to Dash's cloud mansion, knowing that once they get there, everything will be okay. At Dash's cloud mansion Rainbow was sleeping, as usual, but she was rudely awoken by shouting. She groaned and got up and opened the window of her bedroom and looked out to see who was shouting. She saw Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, 2 times in 2 days as she saw them before they went back to Rarity's for that sleepover Scootaloo had asked about. This time, however, things were different. Sweetie Belle had what looked like some luggage with her. Was she planning on staying here the night? If that was the case, where was Apple Bloom? Surely she would be here with them too if they wanted to sleep here the night. Dash shook her head and went down to see them. "What's up, you two? You planning on staying here the night Sweetie?" She asked "Sorta like that..." Sweetie muttered "Yeah... Dash... We need to tell you something... Well, a few things actually..." Scootaloo said as she rubbed Sweetie's back, trying to comfort her. Dash nodded and brought them inside her cloud mansion before sitting down. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle sat on the other couch, beside one another. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Dash asked Both fillies sighed. Here they were about to tell Dash about their relationship and about what happened after the sleepover. "Well..." Sweetie Belle started "Me and Sweetie Belle are together!" Scootaloo finished Rainbow's face showed no expression at first but then she chuckled. "Well, it's about time Scootaloo!" Scootaloo blushed. "Well, its what we both want and I love her." She nuzzled Sweetie Belle affectionately "Well, I'm glad that you have found someone Scootaloo and I'm glad it was a friend." The 2 fillies beamed in happiness, glad that Rainbow accepted their relationship. "So... What was the other thing?" "It's about Rarity!" Sweetie Belle squeaked as her body shook slightly This caught Rainbow Dash's attention. This wasn't like Sweetie Belle at all. Something seemed...wrong. "Sweetie Belle...is everything okay?" She asked softly Sweetie Belle shook her head. "Can I live here with you and Scootaloo?" She asked abruptly Dash tilted her head. "Why...? Did something happen?" "Y-Yeah..." Sweetie Belle's ears fell back against her head as she looked down. Scootaloo looked at Dash, glaring at her slightly. "It's about Rarity..." Scootaloo said as she pulled Sweetie Belle into her lap, nuzzling her sweetly. "What happened?" Rainbow asked. She was slightly worried. Sweetie Belle went to speak but Scootaloo stopped her. "Rarity doesn't like same-sex relationships." She said bluntly Rainbow's eyes widened in shock then they flared with anger. "You told her about your relationship?" She asked, her wings spreading slightly They both nodded. "We did and things didn't go out so well..." They told Rainbow Dash what happened earlier that morning. Flashback The next morning was something that neither of the two fillies wanted but on the other hand, they knew it was gonna happen. Hesitantly, they got out of bed and got ready for the day that they were gonna face. After walking downstairs, they were greeted by no one. As usual, Rarity was making another dress. They got their own breakfast and thought things over before they decided that it was time. They were sitting on the couch after eating breakfast and they both sighed deeply. This was going to be very difficult for them. "Rarity!" Sweetie Belle called out to her older sister A few moments passed until Rarity walked into the living room, wondering why her name had been called. "What is it, Sweetie Belle?" She asked Sweetie gulped. "U-Um... Me and Scootaloo need to tell you something if you're not busy..." Rarity sat on the couch opposite and observed the two fillies before her. They looked like they had a rough night and that something had been bugging them. "What did you two want to talk to me about girls?" Rarity asked Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo both took deep breaths. "This is it..." Sweetie Belle thought to herself. "Me and Scootaloo are in a relationship..." She trailed off, leaving it at that just to let it sink in Nothing happened at first. Rarity's expression remained the same. Sweetie Belle held her breath, waiting to find out what Rarity was going to say or do. Rarity opened her mouth and decided to speak. "You two are dating?!" She screeched The fillies flinched at Rarity's tone but nodded nonetheless. Rarity was twitching slightly. "How long?" She asked bitterly Sweetie Belle looked to Scootaloo for support. "We've only been dating for a few days," Scootaloo said That seemed to calm Rarity down but only for a mere second. "You know what mom and dad told you when you were a little younger Sweetie?" She inquired Sweetie Belle nodded. "Yeah, I do. Why?" Rarity only glared at her. "They told you to find a colt! They said you need to foals when you reach that age and dating Scootaloo is not going to help at all! I don't agree with this and I doubt mum and dad would either!" The more she shouted, the louder her voice got Scootaloo wasn't liking this at all. "Rarity, I'm gonna be honest and straight to the point okay? I don't like the way you are acting at all! This isn't how Sweetie's own sister should be reacting to her coming out about her new relationship! I don't care what you think about me dating your sister because to be honest, it's not your decision to make and you can't stop us from seeing each other! Me and Sweetie Belle are happy together and if you can't accept it, then she can come and live with me and Rainbow Dash!" She panted from her little outburst. Sweetie Belle wasn't taking it very well either. "Sis... I can't believe you! I know mom and dad are old fashioned and say that only Mares and Stallions or Fillies and Colts should be together but I don't care about what they told me! It's my life, not theirs... I'm not their 'little filly' anymore and I wanna try new things! I'm also not your 'little sister' anymore! You can't control who I can and can't date! I'm also really angry at the fact that I can't even come to my own sister about my new relationship! Mom and dad must have filled your head with absolute nonsense because I know that this town does not care about that, actually, most of Equestria doesn't care about it, including the Princesses because they believe ponies should be able to express themselves for who they really are!" Rarity just sat there in shock at what she had just heard. "If that is how you both truly feel then I want no part of it... You can both take what Scootaloo said about moving in with Rainbow Dash and follow it because I will NOT have a fillyfooler living under my roof!" The two fillies didn't say anything after that. They only ran upstairs to get Sweetie Belle's stuff. End of flashback "That's what happened!" Sweetie Belle was whimpering while Scootaloo calmed her. Rainbow growled. "I won't put up with that! I'll go and have a stern word with her." Scootaloo nodded slowly, not knowing what to say. "I'll be back soon." Rainbow flew off, straight to Rarity's __________________________ After a few minutes of flying, Rainbow landed at Rarity's and knocked on the door, taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself. After a minute or two, the door opened and there stood Rarity, certainly surprised at Rainbow's presence. "Why, hello, Rainbow Dash. What brings you here?" "We need to talk," Rainbow said, not anger in her voice at least, not yet Rarity allowed her friend in. "Okay. What are we talking about." Rainbow sat down on one of the chairs. "We need to talk about what happened today." She said "What do you mean?" Rarity asked Rainbow snarled slightly but it was quiet enough so that Rarity didn't hear her. "I had Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo show up at my house. Now, at first, that seemed normal but one thing seemed to stand out. Sweetie Belle had some luggage with her. At first, I thought that you agreed to have them stay at mine for the night but then, I noticed something else. I didn't see Apple Bloom with them and that shook that thought out of my head." Rarity was very nervous. "Well, here's the thing-" She was cut off by Rainbow Dash. "No, don't even start! Let me finish while I remain calm. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, I brought them in and they told me a few things. The first thing was, they told me that they were in a relationship and I told them that I was happy that they were together but the other thing was what happened before they came here..." Rarity scoffed. "I stand by what I said!" Dash's wings flared and she growled. "That's your own bucking sister who told you something that no one would feel happy about saying! But then, you have the nerve to say what you did. That's right, Scootaloo told me EXACTLY what happened! Well, I'm here to tell you one thing: As long as you are like this, Sweetie will be staying with me and Scootaloo and I don't care if they sleep together and do other things because I'm happy for them!" "I don't care what you or the others think and yes, I may eventually agree with their relationship but as of right now, I can't stand their kind!" Rainbow growled again. "Whatever, I'm done talking to you! Come and see your sister when you have realised how much that meant to her." Rainbow flew off. Rarity grunted and went back to working on more dresses for clients. __________________________ Rainbow arrived home. "Well, I said what I needed to say but it'll be best if you two try to keep away from her until she decides to understand the love that you two share." The 2 fillies nodded sadly. They didn't want this but they were both thankful that Rainbow was looking out for them. Rainbow looked outside. "It's getting late. Go on, go and get ready for bed, I'll be there in 5 minutes, okay?" "Okay Rainbow!" They called and went to get ready for bed __________________________ 5 minutes passed and Dash was in Scootaloo's room, where the 2 fillies were cuddled up next to each other. "If you two ever get hate now, come to me. I'll sort them out for ya, I promise. Anyway, have you told Apple Bloom?" They both nodded. "Yep!" "So, what you guys gonna do tomorrow?" Rainbow asked "Probably hang out with AB," Scootaloo said Rainbow nodded and nuzzled them. "Get some rest." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle snuggled closed and fell asleep before Rainbow left the room, hoping that their relationship would be good without too much trouble as she knew it would happen. But, she would be there. She promised and she would make sure that she would keep that promise. No matter what the cost would be...
