"Hey, Sweetie?" Scootaloo asked Sweetie Belle turned and looked at Scootaloo. "Yeah, Scoots?" Scootaloo's ears flattened against her head. "I just wanna say I'm sorry." Sweetie Belle cocked an eyebrow. "Sorry? Why do you need to be sorry Scoots?" She nuzzled her friend softly Scootaloo nuzzled back and sighed. "It's just... For what happened at school today... No doubt it will happen again tomorrow." Sweetie Belle didn't reply. This is because she knew that Scootaloo was right. She knew that when Scootaloo saw her and Apple Bloom in the state that they were in, it hurt Scootaloo, so much and she hated to see Scootaloo upset like this. Scootaloo turned over and closed her eyes. "Night Sweetie Belle." Then she fell asleep. Sweetie Belle then kissed Scootaloo's forehead before she turned over and closed her eyes too. "Night Scootaloo." During the night Sweetie Belle was having a dream (at the start then it changed VERY quickly.) She was dreaming about the one she had a crush on, which happened to be the filly who was sleeping next to her. Wait, Scootaloo?? There was one question that was bugging her: Why Scootaloo? Sweetie Belle's Dream/Nightmare Sweetie Belle was falling through a dark void until she opened her eyes and she saw that she was... In a field?? Sweetie Belle looked around and saw something in the distance. She had to squint her eyes to try and get a better view. Then she noticed, something zoom across the field which looked like a filly and then... She saw something fly up into the air and land on the ground, which was followed by a blood-curdling scream. Out of panic, Sweetie Belle started to gallop towards the sound of the screaming. The screams got louder and louder as she got closer. When Sweetie Belle was about 5 feet away from the filly, her eyes went wide. That was Scootaloo! "SCOOTALOO!" Sweetie Belle screamed as she galloped to her friend and examined the wounds Scootaloo tried to stay awake but she was beginning to lose some blood. Sweetie Belle's heart was racing, she did the only thing she could do. She levitated Scootaloo onto her back and galloped as fast as she could to Ponyville Hospital, hoping that Scootaloo would be alright. At Ponyville Hospital Sweetie Belle ran through the doors of the hospital, with Scootaloo on her back. Sweetie Belle then shouted to get somepony's attention. "Somepony help!" Nurse Redheart heard the shout and ran towards it. She then saw Sweetie Belle and a now unconscious Scootaloo on her back. Quickly thinking, Nurse Redheart took Scootaloo off Sweetie's back and put her onto her back instead and galloped into a room. Sweetie Belle, who was in shock a little, followed and gasped when she saw what extent, Scootaloo had hurt herself. Scootaloo's wings were in awkward position, she has cuts and bruises all over her body and she had a large gash along her abdomen. Sweetie Belle looked away and flinched. "I can't believe this had to happen! To my crush! Oh, Scootaloo... I hope I can tell you how I feel..." Sweetie thought. Once Nurse Redheart was done making sure Scootaloo was alright, she walked up to Sweetie Belle and put a hoof on her shoulder. "Sweetie Belle, well done on finding Scootaloo when you did. Did you see what actually happened?" Sweetie Belle shook her head. "No, all I saw was a little filly fly into the air and then land on the ground. Then I heard screams so I ran to where the filly was. I didn't know who it was until I got close enough to see that it was Scootaloo." Nurse Redheart nodded. "Well, I'm glad you found her. She's okay now, you can go and see her if you want." She then walked away to tend to other patients Sweetie Belle then took a deep breath and walked back into the room. She saw Scootloo smile at her and she smiled back. "Hey." Sweetie Belle said softly. Scootaloo smiled lightly. "Hey." Sweetie Belle teared up and hugged Scootaloo tightly. "I'm s-so s-s-sorry S-Scoots!" She sobbed Scootaloo hugged back. "Shhh... Shhh... It's okay Sweetie, it's okay." She whispered in her ear Sweetie Belle just sobbed. Scootaloo held her friend close and stroked her mane and told her that everything was alright. After about 5 minutes, Sweetie Belle pulled away. "Scoots... I need to tell you something..." Scootaloo raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" Sweetie Belle swallowed the lump in her throat. "Scoots... I... I really like you..." "You like as in like like me?" Scootaloo replied, making sure that she heard right Sweetie Belle nodded. "Yeah, I love you..." She looked away until she felt a hoof on her cheek and she faced Scootaloo. Scootaloo smiled softly. "I love you too." They both leaned in... Sweetie Belle opened her eyes. "Did I really just dream about me and Scootaloo kissing at the end?" She thought as she blushed She looked over to Scootaloo and saw her sleeping soundly. Or so she thought...
