Scroll 4 "and Sweetie Belle"

"Yeah, and then he just said to keep the game."

It was another day where Sweetie Belle spent the day with her friend Button Mash. He was a good friend, but sometimes he gets of on one of his video game rants, and that can get a little annoying.

"Really, he just let you keep it. Was it that bad?"

Button Mash was a brown furred colt with a lighter brown for his mane. He usually wears a propeller beanie, jeans and some sort of video game T-shirt. Contrary to popular belief he wasn't a over weight nobody. He was quite good looking, and in my personal opinion he was also kinda cute. As for him being a nobody, that was a complete lie. Even at his age, he already has a job as a game tester, he was chosen by multiple game companies to test their games. He plays them and then gives a report to the developers telling them what's wrong with the game and tells them about any exploits or glitches that would need to be fixed. He has become quite the well known game tester and has been recently swamped with games to test, because of that he decided to take a break.

"No it wasn't that bad, he just let me keep it because I did such a good job reviewing it."

"Oh, could I come and play it one of these days?" I asked hopefully.

"Sorry Sweetie but I can't allow that, maybe after the game is released. You know my contracts." He said a little sad.

"Well I guess I will have to wait then."

Yeah I was pretty disappointed, but i knew all the legal actions the companies could take, so I let the matter drop.

"Hey Button I know you have allot of work to do and I really need to get home before Rarity starts having a fit."

"Yeah you probably should or you're getting grounded, and nobody wants that."

"Yeah well goodbye Button see you on Minecraft latter."

"Yeah goodbye."

And with that said we went our separate ways.

When I arrived at Carousel boutique, I noticed that it was very quiet. That usually ether meant that Rarity was busy cumming up with ideas for new dresses or that she was at the spa with Fluttershy, and since it wasn't thursday its probably the former. With that in mind I went to the backdoor of the boutique, so that I could get to my room as quietly as possible. When I finally got to my room I went straight for my Pontendo 3DS, with the game Pogo knight, which is a knight who uses a pogo stick as his weapon of choice. I know it sounds weird, but it is actually a pretty good platformer, but enough of my observations it's time to play.

After a couple of hours of play time I heard a knock at the door.

"Sweetie belle are you back from you're date with Button."

"Oh come on Rarity, could you please stop teasing me about that. I don't like him in that way." I yelled out.

After that she opened the door and put her head inside.

"Oh don't be like that. It was just a joke."

"Well I know that, but could you stop with that." I said with a little anger in my voice and my hands crossed.

"Okay Sweetie I'll stop the teasing, but that isn't why I called you, I called you to ask you to go run a couple errands for me. Could you do that for me, I'm currently swamped with orders and I could really use the assistance."

"Yeah of course I can. What do I need to get?"

"Well i need a couple of new needles, a couple of new threads and a bolt of forget me not blue fabric."

While she was talking I was taking down some notes so that I wouldn't forget anything. After she was done telling me everything that I needed to get, she gave me the bits and I was on my way.

It didn't take me long to get to the marketplace and when I arrived I found Apple Bloom. She was talking to Applejack. I decide to approach them.

"Hello Apple Bloom, hello Applejack, how are you today."

"Oh, hello Sweetie Belle. Ah reckon it has been going pretty well. Oh I almost forgot Apple Bloom has something to ask you."

"Hiya Sweetie we need to have an emergency meeting tomorrow at the club house."

"Okay I can do that, when do I need to be there?"

"Tomorrow right after school I have some important news to you that will change the crusaders forever."

"Oh that important okay I'll be there."

"Yeah, I'll explain everything tomorrow. Well I would love to stay and chat, but I have some homework left to finished so if you excuse me I need to go."

"Okay Apple Bloom goodbye. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow Sweetie."

After that Apple Bloom went of to the farm.

"Well goodbye Applejack, I would like to talk to you some more, but I need to go run some errands for Rarity."

"Okay Sweetie, see you later."

With that I went off to pick up everything for Rarity.

After I gathered up everything I went back to the boutique to give it Rarity. When I entered I noticed that Rarity wasn't in the store front. I decided to leave everything by the sewing machine and go search for her. She wasn't in her workroom, her bedroom or her bathroom. After I searched those places I went to the kitchen and there I found a note stuck to the fridge. On the note it said.

Dear Sweetie,

if you find this note, then I'm currently not home. I just remembered that we are out of a couple of ingredients to finish up dinner. I'll probably return in a couple of minutes. So don't wait up and go finish up you're chores.

love,
Rarity.

"Oh, come on. I still need to do my chores." I said dejected.

"Well better get started then."

And with that I went to work. After a couple of minutes of me cleaning the house, i Heard the front door belle open and then I heard.

"Sweetie, are you home?"

"I'm in the kitchen."

Then I heard footsteps cumming towards the kitchen.

"Ah here you are Sweetie. Did you get everything that?"

"Yeah I got everything. Oh and Rarity before I forget tomorrow the CMC are going to have a meeting after school I'm just telling you this so that you don't freak out latter."

"Okay Sweetie thank you for telling me this, because tomorrow me and the rest of the girls are going to go up to Canterlot to talk to the princesses about a weird magic outburst that was found in the Everfree forest."

"Please don't tell me it's another one of those super villains that pop up every six months or so."

"No nothing like that if it was than the princesses would probably tell us today."

"Well, I guess you're right."

And with that said I returned to my job of washing the dishes. When I finally finished, dinner was already prepared. Today we were having something pretty simple grilled cheese sandwiches my favorite. So I didn't waste any time in eating them. After I finished, I excused myself from the table and went up to my room. Since I had a couple of minutes left before bedtime, I decided to call up Button on Teamspeak and go play some Minecraft.

When it finally booted up I opened our multiplayer world and went to work in the mines. After a couple of minutes I heard Button talking through my headphones.

"Hello Sweetie, where are you?"

"Oh I'm down in the mines gathering up some iron for our iron pony project."

"Really, did you find any?"

"No not yet, but I think we should postpone this project until we can setup an iron farm. Let's meet up at the house."

"Okay, see you there."

And with that I went of to the house. When I arrived I found button checking our smelting station probably to see how far away we are from finishing the iron pony project.

"Well here I am Button."

"Ah here you are Sweetie so what are we going to be doing."

"Well I think we should go explore to find a village so that we can start up the iron farm."

"Oh yeah, I always wanted to find one of those. Lets go."

And with that we got our supplies and set of. After twenty minutes of searching I heard Buttons mom telling him to go to bed.

"Hey Sweetie we are going to have to cut this short. Mom is telling to go to bed."

"Okay, it is getting rather late so I guess this is goodnight."

"Goodnight Sweetie."

Then he went offline and I did the same. After it finished turning off I went to bed and after a couple of minutes I went off to sleep.
