//------------------------------// // Introduction // Story: 10 Reasons Why Sweetie Belle is The Best Pony // by CutieMarkCrusaders //------------------------------// Sweetie Belle fell back through the cracked glass which now flew everywhere. She closed her eyes to prevent glass shards from getting in. She didn't know what was happening; one minute, she is with the CMC trying to get their cutie marks in navigating the Everfree forest, and now she is here. Falling a midst the shards of stained glass, plummeting to the ground which seemed miles below. The first thought that crossed her mind was Oh. I'm falling. Whatever. Her second thought was Ouch! The glass hurts. And finally, the third thought that crossed her mind was I'm going to die. Sweetie Belle at first hoped that somepony would swoop in and save her, but that ray of hope was immediately lost as shards of glass penetrated her skin. The next few thoughts were things like Goodbye, Rarity. Goodbye, Mommy and Daddy. And goodbye various other things. Then, she thought of Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. If Sweetie was here, then where were they? And why did they think they could survive the Everfree forest anyway? Then she remembered their crusade. It was only earlier that morning. Or maybe the one before. Sweetie didn't know how big the gap in her memory was. All she knew was that she was falling. Falling and remembering.
