Apple Bloom got up and took all 3 of their saddlebags. Scootaloo picked up Sweetie Belle very gently and placed her down and wrapped a wing around her and held her close as they walked back to class.
Rest of the school day
The rest of the school day could not have gone any slower for the CMC. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom just wanted to sit with Sweetie Belle and comfort her but as they were spread out in the classroom, they couldn't do that. Much to their annoyance. Once the school day came to an end, the CMC walked together to their clubhouse to begin another day of crusading.
CMC Clubhouse
Sweetie Belle was curled up on the floor, thinking about what happened today. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were becoming very worried. They had never seen Sweetie Belle like this before. This wasn't something they expected.
This is because Sweetie Belle was the only CMC member who very rarely got sad and if she was, she never showed it to the others. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were at a loss at what to do. They were not going to push her, however, what happened between Button Mash and Sweetie must have hurt her a lot and they want Button Mash to pay because he hurt Sweetie Belle. They were told what happened in a nutshell and it angered them to the core and Sweetie Belle knew that.
Sweetie Belle uncurled from her little ball on the floor and looked at her marefriend and Apple Bloom - her sister. She yelped quietly and looked away. "Are you two mad at me?" She asked, quietly
Scootloo and Bloom shook their heads very quickly and Scootaloo held out her hoof. "Of course we're not Sweetie. Why should we be? You did nothing wrong!"
Sweetie took Scootaloo's hoof and hugged her and AB. "I'm sorry!"
The other two CMC members hugged back. "It's okay Sweets..." Apple Bloom said soothingly
After about 5 mins, the 3 of them separated. "You feeling better Sweetie?" Scootaloo asked
Sweetie nodded. "Yeah. Thanks, girls, I needed that."
Then they all got their CMC meeting up and running.
2 hours later
The CMC were back in the clubhouse and had been for a little while. The rain had been pouring down while they were crusading and weren't out for as long as they normally would be so they spent the rest of their time in the dry, sheltered from the rain.
"Apple Bloom?" Sweetie Belle asked, looking at her sister
Apple Bloom looked at Sweetie. "Yeah, Sweets?" She asked
Sweetie Belle sighed and her ears flattened against her head. "Can I talk to you about something?"
Bloom nodded. "Sure Sweetie, what's up?" She asked, a hint of worry in her voice
Scootaloo's ears perked up but shook her head. "She can tell me when she's ready." She thought then went fell asleep
Sweetie Belle sighed again. "You and Scoots already know what happened between me and Button Mash. I just wanna ask you something if that's okay."
Apple Bloom nodded again. "Yeah, you can ask me anything Sweetie. What is it?"
Sweetie Belle looked at Bloom with fear in her eyes. "I know that me and Scoots are together now but... Do you think we'll drift apart as time goes on?"
Apple Bloom thought about Sweetie Belle's question before she replied. "I'm really happy that you two have found each other and are dating and I don't think that changes anything. You know why?"
Sweetie Belle shook her head.
Apple Bloom continued. "You two dating doesn't change a thing because you're both my sisters still and I'll be by your side when either of you need me. I'm never gonna leave you two no matter what cuz sisters stick together and we have done and that won't change, I promise."
Sweetie smiled. "You have already partly answered the other question I have but I guess I'm a little nervous on how to ask it." She said
Bloom smiled sympathetically. "Just say it, Sweetie, I won't care."
Sweetie Belle took a deep breath. "How do you actually feel about me and Scoots dating? Be honest."
AB giggled slightly. "Were you worried I would hate you both? That's not true, not true at all. Yeah, my family believes that a mare and a mare or a stallion and a stallion can't be together but I don't believe any of that! The way I see it is that if you're in love with somepony, you're in love with them, it doesn't matter if they're the same gender as you or not."
Sweetie giggled. "AB is an amazing sister." She thought
"So to answer your question, Sweetie, I'm so happy for you two. All I ever wanted was for you both to be happy and now I know that's happened because you've found each other and that's what matters because you're both happy together so that means I'm happy too. You two are perfect for each other and I know that you'll both treat each other right." Apple Bloom finished
Sweetie Belle hugged her tightly. "Thank you, sis."
Apple Bloom hugged back. "No prob sis. Remember, I'm never gonna leave you or Scootaloo, not now, not ever." She replied
Apple Bloom released the hug a minute later. "Oh shoot! I gotta go you two! See ya tomorrow!" With that, Apple Bloom left the clubhouse and went inside.
Sweetie Belle went to wake up her marefriend. "Hey, Scoots." She said softly as she stroked her cheek with a hoof
Scootaloo mumbled something and opened her eyes. "We leaving now?" She asked
Sweetie helped her up and nuzzled her. "Yep."
The 2 fillies then walked out the clubhouse and they walked home. As they were walking home Scootaloo asked Sweetie if anything happened while she was sleeping. "No nothing really happened. Me and her just talked." Sweetie Belle said
Scootaloo wrapped a wing around her marefriend and pulled her close as they walked. "What did you talk about?" She asked curiously
Sweetie Belle snuggled into her marefriends side before replying. "I just asked if we were all gonna drift apart..." She sighed
Scootaloo kissed her cheek. "Aww, why did you think that?"
"It wasn't aimed at us two, it was mainly about Apple Bloom... Since we're together, I guess I just thought that maybe we would stop meeting up with her and lose contact altogether..."
"But she wouldn't let that happen, you know that! She's our sister and she would do anything to see us." Scootaloo replied softly
"I know. I asked her something else too..." Sweetie trailed off again
"What was that?"
"I asked her about what she actually thought about me and you." Sweetie replied
Scootaloo tensed slightly. "It was good, right? She didn't say anything to upset you did she?"
Sweetie Belle shook her head. "No, it was quite the opposite actually. We know her family doesn't exactly believe in the love that we share. When we told her I feared the worst... I felt like she only said it to make us feel happy about ourselves but I was wrong."
"So what happened?" Scootaloo asked
Sweetie nuzzled Scootaloo. "She said that she didn't care about us dating because all she wanted was for us to be happy. Since we're together and we're happy, she is happy too. She also said that we're perfect for each other and she knew that we would treat each other right."
Scootaloo nodded and kissed Sweetie Belle softly and pulled away after a few seconds. "You got that right."
They got to the Carousel Boutique and Scootaloo stopped walking, causing Sweetie Belle to stop walking too. "What's up Scoots?"
Scootloo kissed her on the cheek and ruffled her mane. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna leave you. I promise." She said as they both walked inside
Nice chapter, was good to see Apple Bloom accepting them, and not unrealistic for those three, I hope to see more soon.
7719969 Glad you're still enjoying it. I'll try and be a lot quicker on getting the next chapter done
7719987 Well, just as long as its not super rushed, but I still look forward to it.
Honestly I think I'm fully in the ScootaBelle camp now.
7719996 This one took so long for a couple of reasons:
1. College work was getting the way
2. I did have a writer's block for this story for a few days prior to me writing this chapter.
3, I'm working on other stories too which also caused a delay
I'm happy that you're in the Scootabelle camp! Good to have ya there!
7720013 Fair enough, I know how that is.
Yeah, they are really cute together and everything... now I just have to figure out what to do with Apple Bloom.
7720049 They are yeah! Don't worry I've got a few more CMC ship stories lined up in the future (not all Scootabelle)
7720058 Which at least helps me figure out part of a future fanfic focusing on the three of them. Sounds good, I look forward to them.
7720071 During the Christmas holiday I'll work on a few CMC ship stories, just to get them started so I don't forget about them completely lol
7720080 Makes sense, I've done that with a few fanfics too, not ready to post them yet, just good to have them started.
YA know it would be intresting if you have some time pass.
7758670 I'll be getting to that... Not gonna spoil anything!
