A/N: Woo! That last chapter though. I am sorry to inform you that this chapter will more than likely not be as good. Either way I hope you enjoy, don't forget to review.

Chapter 11: Meeting Pinkie.

"That I love you." Heart's Vision stood in front of Scootaloo, smiling after realizing how he felt.

Scootaloo thought her mind was playing tricks on her. "What, what did you say?"

"I said that I love you Scootaloo." Heart would have normally been scared to tell any pony how he felt but he knew how he felt. He knew that no matter how Scootaloo felt about him, that wouldn't change how he felt. He thought better to try and fail than never try and never know.

"Is this a prank?" Scootaloo had been tricked like this before and did not want this happen again.

Heart had no energy to get mad or show fear. He came closer to Scootaloo and nuzzled her. "No Scoot this is not a prank. I care about you." Heart backed off and looked her in the eye. "Do you care about me?"

Scootaloo was still scared that this was a trick but wouldn't lie to her friend. "Yes Heart. I care about you."

Scootaloo couldn't tell but Heart was filled with joy. "Good, I would love to spend more time with you but I think I might pass out if I don't go lay down."

"I understand, I will see you tomorrow?"

Heart turned to go into his home. "Yes, first thing after school."

After Heart entered his house Scootaloo raced off to her own. "This is great! I can't believe it. I was afraid to tell him how I felt but now, now he knows and feels the same way. YAY!" Scootaloo nearly fell off her scooter.

"What's up squirt?"

"AHH!" Scootaloo looked up to where the voice came from. "Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo stopped the scooter.

"The one and only." The Cyan Pegasus flew above Scootaloo with a smug look on her face. "Now what has you so happy?"

"Uhh… Nothing, I just did really good on a test at school today."

Rainbow landed in front of the filly. "You are a really bad liar. I heard what you said, so who is the lucky pony?"

Scootaloo sighed. "How much did you hear?"

"I heard something like now he knows and feels the same way. So how about you take it from the top?"

"Well… There is this colt. He is In my class and I just found out that he likes me. I have liked him for some time but was too afraid to tell him."

"Who is he?"

"His name his Heart's Vision."

"What kind of name is that?"

"I don't favor it either so I just call him HV."

"Better yet, why haven't I heard of this pony before?"

"Well he moved here not that long ago."

"Wait, so he is a new pony?"

"Yeah, that is what I just said."

"But Pinkie Pie hasn't thrown a welcoming party."

"So…. Oh no." Scootaloo forgot how strange that pony is.

Rainbow was slightly freaking out. "Don't tell Pinkie how long he has been here. I will tell her that he only recently got here. After school bring him to Sugar Cube Corner. We have to make sure Pinkie doesn't find out before I tell her. Who knows what that pony will do." Dash flew away before Scootaloo could say anything.

"I will worry about that tomorrow. Right now I am going home and sleeping."

Cheerilee dismissed her class. Scootaloo would have rushed out of class like every other pony but today she had something to wait for. Heart was at his desk putting his stuff away. Scootaloo came up beside him. "Hey HV. I wanted to know if you want to go to Sugar Cube Corner?"

Heart looked at Scootaloo wondering what to do about yesterday. "I guess we can but we need to talk about yesterday."

Scootaloo was nervous about it as well. "Yeah, I figured you would. We can talk on the way."

"What about Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle?"

"They will meet us there."

"Well then, lead the way."

Scootaloo left the school house with Heart. Once they were far enough away so that no pony would here them Scootaloo began. "So we both know that we like each other."

"Yes."

"But what do we do?"

"Well I guess we could be colt-friend and filly-friend. Are you ok with that?"

It didn't sound wrong to Scootaloo so she didn't see why not. "I could do that."

"That settles that. How about we move to a more clear subject? What is Sugar Cube Corner?"

"It is a candy store. We don't go there often because we don't have bits but sometimes Pinkie Pie gives us treats for free."

"Who is Pinkie Pie?"

"She is a mare that plans parties."

"She sounds nice. I think you would go there just to visit with her."

"Well she is a nice pony but…"

"But?"

"She uhh is strange? Let's go with that."

"What do you mean?"

"It is kinda hard to explain. How about you see for yourself." Scootaloo stopped and pointed to the building in front of them. "This is Sugar Cube Corner."

Heart thought the building looked delicious. It was decorated as a treat. "I want to eat it."

Scootaloo giggled at the silly colt. "Let's go inside." Scootaloo proceeded to go inside.

Heart wasn't sure what to think. All the lights were off. He couldn't see anything. "Scootaloo, why are all the lights off?"

Scootaloo didn't respond. Instead all the lights turned on as many ponies yelled. "Surprise!"

Before Heart could say anything a light pink earth pony was in his face. Her mane and tail were a darker shade of pink and frizzy. "Hia! I am Pinkie Pie I have been told that your name is Heart's Vision this is your welcome to Ponyville party."

Heart could barely understand the pony. 'She must eat too much off the product.' "Hi?"

Pinkie had the widest smile Heart had ever seen. She placed a party hat on his head. "Go party my little pony!" She pushed Heart into the middle of a group of ponies.

Heart was lost. He wasn't sure what to think of this new pony. 'Where is Scoot? I need her help.'

As if she was a mind reader Scootaloo popped up next to Heart. "Hey HV. Do you see what I mean about Pinkie?"

"Yeah, she is a… unique pony."

"She is nice though. Just watch out for her cannon. I stood too close to that one time and I was finding streamers in my mane for a week."

"WHAT! She has a cannon? Who would let her have a cannon? I have been here for less than a minute and I know that is a bad idea."

The orange filly waved his comment away. "Don't worry about it. How about we go meet Rainbow Dash."

"I did say that I would meet her."

"Cool, I think I saw her by the punch bowl." Heart was dragged to the punch bowl by Scootaloo.

Heart saw a cyan colored pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail leaning against the wall a few feet from the punch bowl. He knew from Scootaloo that this was Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo placed herself and Heart in front of Dash. Heart got the cyan Pegasus' attention. "Hello, you must be Rainbow Dash."

Dash had not been paying attention but heard the mention of her name. She looked at the colt. "Yeah, what do you want?" She noticed Scootaloo. "Hey squirt."

Scootaloo introduced her friend. "Dash this is Heart's Vision."

Rainbow examined the colt more closely after realizing that this was the colt that Scootaloo was interested in. She peered over him looking at his sides. "What's up with your coat?"

Heart shrunk trying to hide himself. Scootaloo knew he was sensitive about his appearance and answered for him. "He was born that way. I think it looks really cool. It helps show how special he is." Heart perked up at the kind words.

Rainbow didn't care how he felt about them, she would voice her personal opinion. "I agree, it makes him about twenty percent cooler."

Heart had always been made fun of for his appearance. He was happy that both Scootaloo and her hero liked the way he looked.

Rainbow looked to Scootaloo. "Hey squirt, will you go get me some punch?"

"Sure Rainbow!" Scootaloo always seemed full of energy. That was one of the reasons Heart liked her.

Dash moved from her relaxed position. She came close to Heart. She was right in his face. She looked him dead in the eyes and talked in a low but stern tone. "If you hurt Scootaloo in any way then I will have your hide."

Heart would never hurt Scootaloo but the threat struck fear into him. He could tell that this pony meant what she said.

Scootaloo came back with a cup with punch balancing on her head. "Here you go Dash."

"Thank you." The cyan Pegasus took the cup with her mouth and chugged the drink. She tossed it into a trash can nearby afterwards. She looked above Heart with a funny look.

Heart turned to see what she was looking at.

"HIA!" Pinkie Pie was standing on Heart's back. "How is ever pony? Need anything? How about some cake?" Pinkie held out some cake that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "No? Soot yourself." Pinkie smacked her face into the plate gobbling up the cake.

Heart was confused on so many levels. "When, how did, how long?"

Rainbow stopped the colt. "Don't ask. Just accept it."

"But she is standing on me and I can't even feel it."

Rainbow put up a hoof. "Don't, just don't"

Pinkie got off of Heart and proceeded to leave by bouncing up and down towards another group of ponies.

Scootaloo watched the pony hop away. "Told you she was strange."

"You didn't tell me she could defy the laws of physics!"

Scootaloo shrugged. "Lets go find Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle." The orange Pegasus began searching with Heart following. They found the fillies at a table with a mound of cupcakes in the center.

Sweetie Belle was the first to notice. "Hey Scootaloo, hey Heart." Apple Bloom was too busy devouring a cupcake and simply waved.

Scootaloo took a seat next to Sweetie. "Hey gals, how long have you been over here?" Heart sat next to Scootaloo.

Sweetie levitate a cupcake onto her plate. Heart could tell that it took her a lot more effort than if he had did it. "We have been here since the lights came on. These are some really good cupcakes." Sweetie Belle took a bite of said cupcake.

Heart questioned Sweetie. "Have you been eating cupcakes the entire time?"

"Yep."

"How many have you eaten!"

"I don't know. I lost count after eight."

"You gals are going to hate cupcakes after this."

Apple Bloom picked her head up, it was covered in crumbs and icing. "How could we ever hate cupcakes?"

Heart shook his head feeling bad for his friends. "Give it I don't know, ten minutes? You are going to feel horrible. I won't be surprised if you throw up."

Apple Bloom was going to say that Heart was full of it but was stopped as soon as she was about to talk. She had eaten way more than Sweetie and it hit her first. "I feel funny."

"Wait until you crash. It will be so much worse."

"Tell I what?" Apple Bloom put her hoof up to her mouth.

Heart pointed to his right. "Bathroom is that way."

Apple Bloom ran for it. Sweetie was watching the whole thing and put down the cupcake she was eating.

Heart looked at her. "I am guessing that you two have never been exposed to this many sweets?"

Sweetie looked at the cupcake with fear. "No, what is going to happen to me?"

"Either you are going to be sick like Apple Bloom or you are going to get really hyper and in a little bit feel really bad, worse than Apple Bloom."

Sweetie looked really sad imagining how she was going to feel.

Heart wished he could help his friend but didn't know how. "We are going to leave and talk to some other ponies now."

Sweetie Belle waved them away. "Go on then."

Heart and Scootaloo looked around for a pony to talk to. Heart saw Twilight. "Come on Scoot, we can talk to Twilight." Heart approached her.

Before he could say anything Twilight noticed him. "Hello Heart. How are you doing today?"

"I am doing fine, you?"

"Just swell." The lavender unicorn noticed Scootaloo. She remembered yesterday with the mind spell. She smiled thinking about it. "Hi Scootaloo."

Scootaloo kept it simple. "Hi."

"You two just wanted to say hi or is there something particular you need?"

Heart had a reason for talking to Twilight. "I came over here to thank you."

"For what?"

"For making me realize that I care for Scootaloo." He hugged the orange Pegasus.

Twilight was surprised that Heart acted on his feeling so fast. "Oh. I am glad I helped."

The two young ponies walked outside to get away from the party. Both ponies sat a little ways from the entrance. Heart had to ask. "Did you mean it when you said that you liked my coat?"

Scootaloo wasn't expecting to be questioned. "Yeah, I wouldn't lie to you. I really do think that it looks cool."

"Thank you."

"You shouldn't doubt yourself like that. You are a extraordinary pony."

Heart looked at Scootaloo with shock. He never expected Scootaloo to say anything like that. "Huh?"

"You doubt yourself too much. You have done many things that I have never heard of a pony our age doing. If it wasn't for you Sweetie Belle could have been hurt with that ladder. You always seem to say the right thing when I need it. You make me happy when things aren't going right. You have put yourself in harms way so the we wouldn't be harmed. You are a wonderful pony, you do so many special things. How can you not see this?"

Heart took some time to think about it. "I don't know. I never feel that I am doing good enough. I can always be better."

"Why do you need to be better though?"

"Because I have to. I need to be as strong as possible. If I am not then how can I stand up for those who can't do it for themselves? I have to stand for the weak. If I don't then who will? I won't sit idly why innocent ponies are hurt."

Scootaloo never knew that Heart felt this way. "That is what I am talking about. I know no pony like you. You are a great pony."

"Thank you Scoot, you make me feel good about myself." ' Great pony? I wish that was true Scoot, I truly do.'

A/N: Sorry, I know that this chapter is just bad by comparison to last. This is kind of a fill chapter but at the same time not. It just wasn't a lot to do this chapter. I will try to make the next better. Until that time have a good day/night.
