After Rarity and Applejack left the room, me and Sweetie Belle continued to talk about us being roommates. Sweetie Belle was more excited about it than I was. It's not that I didn't want to be her roommate, it's just that I still haven't told her how I truly felt about her. If it wasn't for Rarity and Applejack interrupting me, I would have laid it all out on the table. I looked over at Sweetie Belle and thought about telling her now, but I didn't want to make things awkward for her. Though I knew that if I waited too long to tell her, it would end up being too late. I had to tell her now.
"Hey, Sweetie Belle, not to ruin the excitement, but I need to tell you something still."
She stopped talking and focused her full attention on me, "What do you need to tell me?"
"W-Well...I-I.."
"I'm listening."
Come on Apple Bloom, now's your chance!
"Apple Bloom? Are you alright?"
"Sweetie Belle, don't hate me for this, but...I-I'm...a filly-fooler."
"You're a what? I couldn't hear you."
"I'm a filly-fooler."
"Apple Bloom, just say it I won't..."
"I'M A FILLY-FOOLER!" I put my hooves over my mouth and stared at her. Her eyes were widened and her jaw was hanging down. "Sweetie Belle?"
"I-I had no idea."
"Sweetie Belle? Is everything alright?"
"I'm fine...It's just...a lot to take in right now."
"So, do you hate me?"
"Apple Bloom, I could never hate you. No matter what happens, I'll always be here for you."
"T-Then, there's something else I need to tell you too."
"What is it?"
I let out a long sigh and looked her in the eye, "Sweetie Belle, I love you. And I don't mean just as a friend either. I mean, I love you as more than a friend. I didn't want to tell you about any of this because I was scared of how you would react to it. I was too nervous that you'd end up hating me and not wanting to be my friend anymore because I was a filly-fooler. I've loved you since we first met back at that party. I just never really knew how to tall you until now."
Sweetie Belle stared at me, blinking her eyes a couple of times in slight confusion, "So, you've had a crush on me since we first met?"
I gave her a nod and looked towards the ground, fearing that she might not be taking this part of my confession lightly.
"Apple Bloom."
I looked back up at her, concern filling my eyes, "Yeah?"
"I feel the same way about you. I never thought that you felt the same way about me. I always thought that you would try to find a coltfriend and not a fillyfriend. The thing is Apple Bloom, I was just as scared as you were about telling you."
Tears began to roll down mt face again, but this time, they were tears of joy, "You mean it?"
"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."
I reached across her bed and gave her a hug, "I love you, Sweetie Belle."
"I love you too, Apple Bloom."
