Scootaloo - true. No, Faithful, Faithful with a capital letter - Faithful for real, because even the Elements of Harmony saw it in her.

Scootaloo often swears with Applebloom. Because of the little things: the cider season is too late, regular late dates, constant competitions and rivalries. Scootaloo outrages loudly, taps his hoof on the head, inserts stabbing hairpins into a stream of veiled - and not very - insults, and Applebloom is not far behind.

Applebloom is also good: Applebloom delays the opening of the cider season because it could not keep track of the brother who had so unsuccessfully fled to Sugar Belle; Applebloom is late for dates because she is afraid to leave Apple Bloom on the farm alone; Applebloom always takes on the spirit of competition - and always swears at the Scootaloo. Of course, mutually.

But Scootaloo is Faithful.

She will never leave Applebloom, even to the apple tree under which they meet, only four minutes at a gallop. It will not exchange the present, the most important - a burning heart - for a mug of foaming cider. Applebloom will not stop believing and will always be ready to give her a hoof of help, knowing that when the time comes, Applebloom will cover her back.

Scootaloo is too expensive Applebloom for such stupidities and absurdities to really make her stop loving the best and most beautiful of Apple. Scootaloo is mesmerized by how cleverly Applebloom handles the lasso - and she is not averse to having Applebloom catch her in the same way. She tied it up, put it near her and kissed her forehead with a triumphant grin.

Scootaloo cannot take its eyes off her powerful blows on trees when Applebloom knocks apples from them for the next batch of pies - and Scootaloo, eating these pies, looks at Applebloom without stopping. She looks, showing that she's ready to try one more apple today - and Applebloom, leaving her for the night in her barn, bites her by the withers, pulls her rainbow mane, knocking Scootaloo into the barbed straw while the rest of Apple's sweetly sleep in the family house.

Every time Applebloom touches her - in a fight in the Applewood paddock or hugging her tightly, Scootaloo realizes that he will never betray Applebloom.

But Scootaloo is not very honest. Scootaloo knows about Rarity, but is silent, does not give a look, so as not to destroy harmony - or the illusion of harmony.

Truly Honest - Honest! - Applebloom. Embodying the Element of Harmony that took her as its embodiment, Applebloom Honest, honestly nowhere. She always answers the question posed clearly and does not evade, she is never tormented by the choice of lies for good - Applebloom Honest, and Applebloom never lies.

In the face.

Applebloom knows her heart is beating for and because of the Scootaloo. Due to constant rivalry, because of the desire to surpass it, Applebloom is becoming stronger - and makes Scootaloo itself stronger. Blood flows in her legs, nourishing the muscles, rushes to the head, giving thoughts, and returns back to the heart - warm, full of feelings and desires. Applebloom doesn't lie to anyone - not even herself, and therefore understands that she has no one closer to Scootaloo.

Despite the fact that she stubbornly does not understand that cider simply cannot be made without Big Mac, who so unsuccessfully escaped with his lover; that Apple Bloom is still too small to leave her alone on the farm; that rivalry awakens something in them that can be mistaken for hostility.

Scootaloo is tied to Applebloom with a scarlet thread so thick that it doesn't even need a lasso to lasso a naughty pegasus. And kissing her, stretching her strong wings, burying her nose under the multi-color tail, Applebloom knows that no one will give her the feelings and emotions that Scootaloo does.

Rarity can give others - care, tenderness, a little pretended, but for the most part sincere concern about Apple's excessive loads, which lead her to fainting.

Applebloom is not very faithful, and Rarity is very sweet. Applebloom is torn to pieces, because Rarity is as beautiful as it is pompous, and Scootaloo ... Scootaloo doesn't have that. It's just that no, Scootaloo knows what rhythm Applebloom's heart beats in - and, more importantly, it sets that rhythm.

Applebloom knows this, and therefore it is even more painful when she cannot deny Rarity and herself simple wishes ... But Scootaloo does not ask.

Scootaloo is not very honest, and Applebloom is not very true. And, it seems, there is no way out of this vicious circle.
