//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: For the love of Sweetiemash // by Luvbuttonmash //------------------------------// "OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!" Sweetie Belle shouted through the rooftops of the household. Rarity walked down the stairs to see what was wrong. "Are you okay Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked. "100 percent okay! Actually, I'm more than okay! I'm great!" She squealed. "What happened?" The older girl asked. "He finally asked me to the dance Rarity!" She answered. "Who?" "Button!" Sweetie Belle was practically jumping off the walls now. "Ooh! Tell me all the details!" Rarity was happy that her sister finally had gotten a date to the upcoming dance. "Well.." She trailed off. It was the middle of Miss Cheerilee's math class when Button slid a note to Sweetie. It read: Meet me outside at lunch. Sweetie Belle looked back at him. He was paying attention to his work, or secretly playing video games. Either way, his head was down. She smiled. "Sweetie Belle, please turn around," Miss Cheerilee said, and all of her classmates looked at her direction. Some of the classmates were snickering. It was always embarrassing when a teacher called you out. "Yes Miss Cheerilee," she said, and she put her focus back on her work. But her mind was still on Button. She hadn't told her friends about what happened after they left, so they had no clue why Sweetie Belle was acting so strange. She was never called out. She was the good one. They knew something was going on. The warning bell rang through the hallways. It warned that classes would be over in five minutes. "Okay class. Pass your papers up!" Miss Cheerilee said, and all the classmates passed up their papers. As everyone was waiting for the bell to ring, Miss Cheerilee graded the papers. After she was done, she stood up and said,"I'm very surprised at the progress this class is coming to, seeing as my other classes are not as exceptional. Here are your papers," she passed the papers back to the students. "A B?! This has never happened!" Sweetie Belle said. "Seems like little Miss Smarty Pants isn't so smart," Diamond Tiara said, and the whole class snickered. "Oh yeah? What did you get?" Sweetie said. "A B as well," Diamond Tiara said. That was a good grade for her, seeing that she wasn't as smart. "You got the same grade as me!" Sweetie said. "Girls, there's no need to fight! It's just a-" Just then, the bell rung. "Class dismissed!" Miss Cheerilee said. All the classmates gathered their things and walked out of the class. "I hate that Diamond Tiara!" Sweetie yelled. "It's okay Sweetie Belle. She's just tryin' to get in your head," Applebloom said. "Yeah! She's just jealous because you're smarter than her," Scootaloo said. "Thanks for trying to cheer me up girls. I'm just mad that I got a B," Sweetie said. "Don't make us feel bad Sweets," Applebloom said. "Oh, right. Sorry," Sweetie said. The girls finally made it to their lockers. "Let's focus on another thing. Like lunch!" Scootaloo put her books away and ran towards the door to the cafeteria. The doors opened, and she ran right into the person who opened it. "Maybe next time you should just move out of the way-" Scootaloo looked at the person she ran into. It was Rumble. "Um you ran into me," he said and stood up, holding a hand out for Scootaloo. She accepted it and stood up herself. "Yeah, sorry Rumble," she said, slightly blushing. "It's okay Scoots. Just watch where you're going," he responded. There was an awkward silence between them. "Well...I should get something to eat now-" she started to walk away. "Wait!" Rumble shouted. The cafeteria became quiet of the sudden outburst. "Uh..yeah?" She said nervously. "You wanna....go to the dance together? As friends, of course," he asked. "Would I—I mean, sure, whatever," she said, the blush on her face starting to wear off. "Cool," Rumble said. He walked backwards out the door, and the teens kept talking, Scootaloo slightly embarrassed of the attention. "That was adorable!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. "Guys," Scootaloo said, rolling her purple eyes. "Aww! So cute! You're goin' to the dance with your crush!" Applebloom exclaimed. "Shut up," Scootaloo said,"we're just going as friends." "Oh come on Scoots. We all know how that ends," Applebloom said. "Don't even go there, Applebloom," Scootaloo said, starting to get annoyed of her friends. "What? He obviously likes you," Applebloom said. "Guys, I gotta go somewhere. I'll see you guys later," Sweetie Belle said, remembering the note. "Okay! Bye!" Applebloom said. Right after she left the cafeteria, Scootaloo saw the look on Applebloom's face. "We're following her, aren't we?" She asked. "Ye-up," Applebloom said. "Ugh, here we go again." Scootaloo groaned. "Oh stop it! Let's go," Applebloom said, and they walked out of the cafeteria.
