A Sweetie Lesson Sequel

Under The Stars

"I just don't understand, its a disaster" Bolt said to Rarity.
Rarity and Shadow Bolt were sitting at a nice cafe in the middle of Ponyville, it was a beautiful day and ironically, the night of the Summer Sun Celebration Dance.

"It is truly awful that both of them feel this way, I really wish there was something we could..." Rarity's voice trailed off.

"Ideeeaaaa! Rarity said in a loud almost sing song voice.
-
Later that day...

"But Rarity...I don't want to go." Sweetie moaned at her sister who was still trying to get her to go to the dance.

"Oh Sweetie I know that's a lie" Rarity said

"No its the truth, I don't want to go to the stupid dance anymore" Sweetie said.

"How in Equestria did you convince yourself of that?" Rarity asked.

"The same way you thought a giant rock was a diamond" Sweetie mused at her own humor.

"Remind me to make Rainbow Dash’s Gala dress as frilly as possible this year, but anyway, that's not really important now, Just go to the dance, please, for me?" Rarity said putting the biggest puppy dog eyes on she could.

"Fine" Sweetie said again aggravated at her sisters persistence.

"Great!" Rarity said with far too much enthusiasm. "I'll even walk you, I'll go get your dress!" Rarity said.
-
Back at the Shadow's cloud house the two brothers were sitting in their shared room.

"Bro, just go to the dance, you won't regret it I promise." Bolt said to Fire.

"If I go I will only see Sweetie and she won't talk to me." Fire said.

"Go, I'll even fly there with you, will that make you feel better?" Bolt said.

"I feel bad enough as it is I don't want to ruin Sweetie's night!" Fire said, his voice turning into a
shout.

"Come on, do it for me? I'll owe you" Bolt said, he knew he would get his little brother with that one, he knew Fire would want him to do something.

"Sure, I guess, But if it gets all awkward I am blaming you." Fire said.
-
It was getting dark out, Sweetie and Rarity walked side by side closer to the school yard.

"Sweetie you look lovely, I am so glad you let me do your mane." Rarity said trying to strike up conversation with her upset sibling.

"Don't even talk." Sweetie said.

"But I ju-"

"No words"

"But if yo-"

"Nope" Sweetie said with a shake of her head.

As they neared the school yard Sweetie's frown turned into a slight smile, it was beautiful, the decorations, the lights, Even Princess Celestia herself was there, she was going to rise the sun from the school for all of the little colts and fillies to watch, for many of them it was their first Summer Sun Celebration as most of them were unable to stay up all night.
-
"Look at these lights and decorations! Fire I am telling you you’re going to have a great time" Bolt said to his younger brother, they flew side by side inching ever closer to the school yard.

"And look down there, Princess Celestia herself is there" Bolt said trying to cheer up his brother.
-
'Maybe the night wouldn't be so bad after all' Both Sweetie and Fire thought in unison.
-
"Oh Sweetie can we stop here, I need to take a rest, all of this walking is exhausting!" Rarity said

"Rarity, you walk me to school all the time, you never get tired I don't-" Sweetie was cut off.
-
"Hey Fire can we land for a second, I need to take a break" Bolt said landing.

"Sure, but your-" Fire was cut off as he landed.

Staring into each others eyes from a moderate distance was Sweetie Belle and Shadow Fire, they were far enough away from the school were the music could be heard but not much else. It was an open field as the school resided on a hill on the edge of Ponyville. Not a light shined bright enough to dim Luna's wonderful moon that shone down on them.

Both Sweetie and Fire looked back at their respective siblings, each receiving an approving wink from them.

Sweetie and Fire inched closer to each other, Rarity and Bolt kept their distance.
As Fire and Sweetie got closer they were each blushing, Sweetie more than Fire. They met in the field, looking into each others eyes, it was like they had never seen each other before, like love at first sight only not at first sight.

Sweetie looked at the ground and kicked her hoof in the dirt, she was blushing a very large amount. Fire just looked at her and put an awkward yet welcoming face on that seemed to make Sweetie more comfortable.

"H-hi" Sweetie said softly.

"Hi" Fire said.

"I uh, I'm sorry I-" Sweetie was cut off.

"Don't, it was me really" Fire said.

A slow song started to play in the distance at the dance, this caught Fire's attention, out of the corner of his eye he saw Bolt land next to Rarity and start dancing with her.

'I knew he would try something like this' Fire thought to himself.

"Want to ah, want to um, wanna dance?" Fire said, the words seemed hard at first and he was anxious for a response, that was the longest fifteen seconds he had ever had to go through in his life.

"Sure." Sweetie said, and no sooner had they started dancing to the music, it was truly a cute sight, the two brought together after thinking neither of them liked the other, it was truly amazing that after going through so much they managed to look so well together.

"I, I thought you didn't like me?" Sweetie asked as they danced, she looked down at the ground, still a bit embarrassed.

"I thought that you, didn't like, me." He said, they stopped dancing and just looked into each others eyes wondering what went wrong, why they ended up thinking that, but it did not matter. They were together at last, and that's all that truly mattered in the moment. That cute romantic moment lasted for a few seconds before Fire leaned in and kissed Sweetie, receiving a shocked look in her eyes at the start but met no resistance. 

And the night progressed on, the two danced under the stars and Luna's bright moon that would eventually give way to Celestia's stunning sun, and begin the best thing that ever happened to either of them, the bond that they now shared.
