Love and Secrets

"Shuddercord, come over here," Fluttershy said standing next to her was Cozy.

Shuddercord walked over to her mother and Cozy.

"We know your darkest secret," Fluttershy said.

Shuddercord looked at her mother and then at Cozy.

"We were a bit surprised when we found out," Cozy said.

"Join us and you can be yourself," Fluttershy said with an evil smile.

"You were the one who said always be yourself yet you never were," Cozy said.

Shuddercord just stared at them.

"Will you help us?" Fluttershy asked.

"Sure," Shuddercord said.

"Looks like she does speak," Cozy said with a grin.

"I will join you," Shuddercord said her blue eyes looked as cold as stone.

"Follow us," Cozy said.

"What are we going to do?" Derpy asked pacing around.

"I don't know but can you stop pacing." Sweetie Belle said.

"This is all my fault," Derpy said now flying in circles.

"It's not your fault. I think she wasn't the pony we thought she was all along and please stop circling it's making me very nervous." Sweetie Belle said.

"Sorry," Derpy said flying to the ground.

"It's ok I know you are nervous." Sweetie Belle said.

"Maybe we can get Deedee to help," Rainbow suggested.

"That won't work unless you want us all killed." Sweetie Belle said.

"Maybe Roselily can help," Rainbow suggested.

"She needs to heal emotionally. " Sweetie Belle said.

"Maybe Larva and Pupa?" Rainbow said.

"Maybe," Derpy said.

"Pupa is too weak and Larva feels off to me." Sweetie Belle said.

"One of us can fight with Pupa," Derpy said.

"You and I have our own battle we have to fight." Sweetie Belle said.

"Then Rainbow can help Pupa," Derpy said.

"That would be too dangerous.” Sweetie Belle said.

"Do you have an idea for who can battle Shuddercord?" Rainbow asked Sweetie Belle.

"Who are you?" Deedee asked.

"You know me so well." the pony in front of Deedee said.

"No, you can't be," Deedee said with wide eyes.

"That's right I am you." other Deedee said.

"You are a monster," Deedee said.

"If I am a monster so are you.” other Deedee said.

“No, I’m not. You are just what I'm when I'm feeling negative emotions.” Deedee said.

“True.” other Deedee said.

“Why are you here?” Deedee asked.

“It's about Shudders.” other Deedee said are voice softened.

“What about her?” Deedee asked.

“Her darkest secret.” other Deedee said.

“What about it?” Deedee asked.

“She needs help to accomplish her goal.” other Deedee said.

“What can I do to help?” Deedee asked.

“You could let me take over and help Shudders.” other Deedee said.

“I won't let you take over,” Deedee said.

“Remember the promise?” other Deedee asked.

“The one I made with Shudders about our secret?” Deedee asked.

“Yes.” other Deedee said.

"When I told her I'd be there for her no matter what?” Deedee asked.

“Yes.” other Deedee said.

“What about it?” Deedee asked.

“Are you loyal enough?” other Deedee asked.

"Of course I am. I would never betray her no matter what." Deedee said.

“Then help her.” other Deedee said.

"What can I do?" Deedee asked.

"Let me take over." other Deedee said again.

"Will Dusk be alright?" Deedee asked.

"Hopefully." other Deedee said with a small smile.

"Ok let's work together," Deedee said.

Deedee and other Deedee shook hooves then there was a bright flash of light. Shuddercord entered the room.

"Hi," Shuddercord said.

"Hi," Deedee said.

"What was that the flash of light?" Shuddercord asked

"I don't know," Deedee said.

"Your mane is turning into a slightly
darker yellow," Shuddercord said.

"That's strange," Deedee said.

"Yeah, it is," Shuddercord said

"Where did you get that necklace?" Deedee asked now noticing it.

"My mom gave it to me," Shuddercord said.

"It looks wonderful," Deedee said.

"Your mane is changing back to its normal light shade of yellow," Shuddercord said.

"That is interesting. I wonder what the darker yellow meant." Deedee said.

"Are you still going to help me?" Shuddercord asked.

"Of course I am. I promised you when we were younger that I would always be there for you no matter what and that has not changed and never will." Deedee said.

"Thank you," Shuddercord said.

"No problem," Deedee said.

"Have you found them yet?" Shuddercord asked.

"Not yet but I think I'm getting very close," Deedee said.

"Keep searching. We need to find them before the battle." Shuddercord said.

"I know and I will," Deedee said.

"I will go look at the spells some more," Shuddercord said.

"Are you ever going to tell her how you feel?" Red Velvet asked her sister.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Pumpkin said.

"Yes, you do. I know you love Flurry Heart." Red Velvet said.

"I had a crush on her years ago but It's gone." Pumpkin said.

"It never went away and you know it." Red Velvet said.

"Why are you asking these questions?" Pumpkin asked.

"I want you to be happy." Red Velvet said.

"I am happy.¨ Pumpkin said.

"No your not. You just pretend to be happy because you don't what anyone to know your not but keeping your emotions in isn't healthy." Red Velvet said.

"How do you know all this?" Pumpkin asked.

"I notice things even the smallest details that no one else would pay attention to." Red Velvet said.

"Do you think she likes me?¨ Pumpkin asked.

"Of course, I've seen the way she looks at you. Even though the sparkle in yours and Flurry's eyes are faint I can still see it." Red Velvet said.

"Why have you never said any of this before?" Pumpkin asked.

"I didn't know when to tell you and how to say this." Red Velvet said.

"You are an amazing sister Vel. I'm lucky to have you has my little sis.¨ Pumpkin said.

"You're amazing too. If you need any help I will always be here for you sis." Red Velvet said.

"I'm going to tell her now." Pumpkin said.

"Ok. See you later." Red Velvet said.

"Bye." Pumpkin said leaving the room.

"Bye." Red Velvet said before the door closed. Then teleported to where she believed her sister was going.

"Hi, Flurry." Pumpkin said.

"Hi." Flurry said.

"How are you?" Pumpkin asked.

"Good." Flurry said.

"I was wondering if you would like to help me bake." Pumpkin said rubbing one of her front hooves against the other,

"Bake what?" Flurry asked.

"Cinnamon rolls." Pumpkin said.

"Sure. I haven't had one of your cinnamon rolls in years." Flurry said.

"Let's go." Pumpkin said then she and Flurry walked to the kitchen.

"I thought she was actually going to confess her feelings like she said she would." Red Velvet said.

"That is what Flurry said that she was going to do." Party Lights said behind Red Velvet.

"We need to get them together." Red Velvet said.

"Yeah, we don't what them to be alone forever." Party Lights said.

"Flurry may be immortal but Pumpkins not." Red Velvet said.

"That's true." Party Lights said.

"Maybe we can help them confess and even help them get their cutie marks as well." Red Velvet said.

"Maybe." Party Lights said then looked at Red Velvet blank flank.

Red Velvet looked at her flank and frowned. Party Lights summoned a red velvet cupcakes and gave one to Red Velvet.

"Thank you." Red Velvet said.

"No problem." Party Lights said.

"I hope we get our cutie marks soon." Red Velvet said.

"Same." Party Lights said.

The two of them went to the library where they found some of their friends and family.

"What's wrong?" Raven asked.

"Pumpkin and Flurry still won't admit their feelings for each other." Red Velvet said.

"Love is gross." Dawn Pie said.

"I just want Flurry to be happy." Party Lights said.

"Why do you think love is gross?" Jade asked.

"I just do." Dawn Pie said.
