Miss Cheerilee stood in front of class of fillies and colts with an smile form on her face. With each and everypony in that class almost bored out of their minds. All but one.
Sweetie Belle a young unicorn filly with an pink and purple mane paid close attention at the lesson going on.
"So" Miss Cheerilee spoke up "Coeus was one of the Titans, sons of Uranus and Gaia."
Miss Cheerilee stopped to see if anypony was going to asked an question, before she moved on.
"His name means questioning, while the respective Roman deity was Polus, the celestial axis around with the heavens revolve." Miss Cheerilee said, waiting if any of her class had any questions.
The purple coated Earth pony rolled her eyes, knowing that her class is just bored and waiting for what they started calling it, The Freedom Bell.
"Based on his Greek name, it has been suggested that Coeus may have also been the Titan of inquisitive minds and intellect" Miss Cheerilee finished
"Now before you all go home I'm going to place you in a group of two for homework about mythology" Miss Cheerilee said causing her class to moan in disappear.
"Yes, now I'll choose the groups, Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom you two will be working together" this made the two Earth ponies to look at each other "Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo you'll be an team" this causing the two friends to hoof bumb each other.
A loud bell ringing noise full the class room, with the fillies and colts cheering in joy and happiness.
"Okay, I'll tell you all your teams on the way out" Miss Cheerilee said with an smile.
"Ah don' believe ahem paired with Diamond" Apple Bloom said while she lay on the floor of they clubhouse
"Okay, am I the only pony in here that believes that she's trying to turn over an new leaf?" Sweetie Belle question
"Yeah" Apple Bloom said
"Same" Scootaloo stated
"Well I think it good that your partners with Diamond. It gives you an chance to grow a friendship" Sweetie Belle said with an smile.
"Ya right Sweetie, ah'll try ma best to get along with Diamond" Apple Bloom said looking away from the unicorn
"So Sweetie what are we going to do for our homework?" Scootaloo question her
"Well unlike you two I was paying attention. I think that Eros is really interesting!" Sweetie Belle said, proudly
"Is this Eros awesome?" Scootaloo question
"Scootaloo if you paid attention you'll find out these myths are interesting and cool" Sweetie Belle said, making Scootaloo to let out an sigh.
"Fine" Scootaloo said with an eye roll "I'll give Eros an chance"
"Any myths ideas for me, Sweetie?" Apple Bloom said just like an question
"Well there's Amphitrite" Sweetie Belle said
"Who she?" Apple Bloom question
"Off the top of my head she's was one of the sea nymphs Nereids, fifty sisters in total and daughters of Nereus and Doris. She was the wife of Poseidon and had two children with him; a son named Triton, a merman; and Rhode" Sweetie Belle said, surprising how she remembered all that information.
"Gosh, thanks Sweetie" Apple Bloom said with an smile.
The sun rose the next day with Sweetie Belle eating pancakes that her sister cook and for some weird reason Rarity wouldn't let Sweetie Belle anywhere neer the kitchen.
A few knocks echo from the door. Sweetie Belle hopped out of her seat to meet her friend at the door. Opening it with an smile to greet her friend
"Hey Sweetie" Scootaloo said
"Hey Scoots, you ready for studying?" Sweetie Belle asked
"Is there anyway out of this?" Scootaloo asked back
"Nope" Sweetie Belle said still with her smile. Scootaloo let out an small laugh
"I was afraid you was going to ask that" Scootaloo said with her laugh that made Sweetie Belle let a small blush form on her cheek.
Her laugh is so cute Sweetie Belle thought
"Hop on then" Scootaloo said making Sweetie Belle get rid of her confusing train of thought to grab on to Scootaloo
"Hmm...Sweetie Belle what are you doing?" Scootaloo question making the young unicorn notice she was hugging Scootaloo tightly.
Sweetie Belle let out an nervous laugh with an crimson red blush growing on her cheeks.
"It alright, look if you think my driving is that dangerous I'll go slow" Scootaloo said, unable to speak Sweetie Belle just nodded.
Scootaloo drove her scooter to the only place in Ponyville with an library. Twilight's castle.
The two looked though her giant library on myths and legends on Eros with the two finding an small part.
Eros was the Greek God of Love, son of Aphrodite and ether Ares or Hermes. In some myths, he was considered an primordial god, an child of Chaos. Who blessed the union of Gaia and Uranus after which the universe came into existence.
Especially in later works by satirical poets, he was depicted as a blindfolded male, who carrying his bow and arrow. Could target any pony and make them fall in love with the first pony they would see.
One of the most prevalent myths in ancient Greece was that of Eros and Psyche; according to it, Aphrodite was jealous of the beauty of mortal princess Psyche and told her son to make her fall in love with the ugliest creature on earth. However, Eros fell for her instead and took her to his divine abode.
"Oh, Scootaloo if you paid attention you'll find out these myths are interesting and cool" Scootaloo said, copying Sweetie Belle's voice
Letting out an small giggle and an eye roll.
"I don't sound like that" Sweetie Belle replied turning her head away from her friend.
"Oh, I'm sure you don't" Scootaloo mocked with Sweetie Belle letting out an mad look at her.
Trying to fight how adorable her friend can be when she's mad. Walking next to her and not noticing the young unicorn hidden evil smile.
"Gosh, Sweetie Belle. I'm sorry I didn't-" Scootaloo started before Sweetie Belle hopped on the young orange pegasus
"Hey what are you-" Scootaloo started before Sweetie Belle began ticking the tom-colt, causing her to start laughing.
"Give up?" Sweetie Belle question
Scootaloo continued to laugh with tears running out of her eyes. "Yes, I give, I give" Scootaloo said
Sweetie Belle sat on top of Scootaloo's body her emerald colour eyes locked with Scootaloo's purple eyes. Unable to notice anything else in the world
The whole of Equestria could be ending acting like nothing’s going wrong, redefine the height of attraction. Until there’s nothing left around here but the two friends.
Sweetie Belle slowly leaded forward to press her soft lips against Scootaloo's. The young pegasus filly eyes shot open in shock and surprise.
Stopping the small kiss, Sweetie Belle's eyes widen in fear and ran away from the paralyzed Scootaloo.
Scootaloo touch her lips with her hoof and looked at the place where her friend ran off to.
"Sweetie Belle" Scootaloo whispered
Sweetie Belle ran though the streets of Ponyville, her eyes closed to stop the tears rolling out of her eyes. Not even caring on if she would bumb into anything or anyone.
Sweetie Belle soon came to an dead stop, before she fell on her rumb. Covering her eyes with her hooves.
I'm so lucky that no pony knows about my secert escape hideout Sweetie Belle thought to herself.
While she still wondered why she went ahead and kissed her best friend like that! It was bold and daring but the young unicorn filly knew that Scootaloo would hate her forever.
"Sweetie Belle!" Scootaloo's voice cried out off in the distance. "Sweetie Belle!"
Sweetie Belle's ears rised hearing that her friend was trying to look for her.
Does she want to find me because I'm her friend? Or just to laugh at me? The snow white unicorn filly question
"Oh there you are! I was worried sick about you!" Scootaloo said, when she finally found her friend sitting under an tree.
"Go ahead, laugh. I know you want too" Sweetie Belle said, turning her head away.
"Well I won't because I know your scared about how you feel about me" Scootaloo said sitting down next to her.
Sweetie Belle didn't and couldn't say an word. She just kept her head away from the orange pegasus.
"I'll be honest I'm scared too" Scootaloo said causing Sweetie Belle to look at her
"I think I feel the same way about you because that kiss felt so-"
"Perfect" Sweetie Belle finished, making Scootaloo smile.
"Yeah" the orange pegasus said
"But what if my feeling are just an myth? What happens if it not true?" Sweetie Belle question
"That's one myth I want to see" Scootaloo said before she lock lips with Sweetie Belle again
The point of Mythology or Myths is to point to the horizon and then to point back at ourselves: This is who we are; This is where we came off; And this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years, the last fifty yeasts really has lost that. We have became rather aimless and wandering.
