Belle of The Ball

Ch.13 Confrontation

Belle ran through the door and slammed it shut. Her parents ran right into the room.

"Honey, what's wrong?", asked Rarity

"Mom, am I adopted?", asked Belle crying

"What?"

"AM I ADOPTED?!"

Rarity and Trend didn't say anything.

"I knew it", said Belle "Who are my real parents?"

"We don't know, darling", explained Rarity "Your biological mother dropped you on our doorstep fourteen years ago. She left a note saying she was a young mother."

"Anything else?", asked Belle

"And your real name is Golden Belle"

"YOU CHANGED MY NAME?! WHY?!"

"So you can have a new life instead of the one that horrid woman gave you"

"Why haven't you told me all this?"

"We were gonna tell you when you were ten", explained Trend

"Why didn't you?!", asked Belle

"Because we were busy with Posh Print to tell you", explained Trend

"Well, I hope your very happy with him because Im leaving"

Belle levitated a black cloak towards her and ran out the door into the rain.

"BELLE WAIT", yelled Trend

"BELLE SWEETIE COME BACK", cried Rarity "I think Im gonna be sick"

Rarity ran out of the room and threw up.

"I'll get the guards…and some towels", said Trend

Meanwhile, Belle was running through Ponyville while crying, until she bumped into a pony holding an umbrella. She was a yellow unicorn mare with a with a white mane with a harp on a cloud as her cutie mark.

"Im…Im so sorry ma'am", apologized Belle crying

"Are you ok, sweetie?", asked the mare

"N-no"

"Come with me, it's cold"

Belle walked with the mare to her home. Belle removed her cloak and the mare gave her a shocked look

"What?", asked Belle

"Nothing, just have a seat and I'll make us some tea"

"Thank you"

Belle sat down on her couch. A few minutes later, the mare walked in holding a tea tray.

"Careful, it's hot", said the mare

"Thank you, Miss…"

"Harper"

"Nice to meet you Miss Harper, Im Christabelle, but you can call me Belle"

"Sounds like somepony I use to know, but why were you crying?"

"Well, today these two mean fillies were making fun of me, and they told me I was adopted. I asked my parents about it, and they told me everything. They kept this from me for all this time"

"I know how hard it is"

"Were you adopted too?"

"Not exactly. I use to have a daughter, but I had to give her up. Her name was Golden Belle. Oh I miss my little Belle"

"Golden Belle? That was my name before my parents changed it"

Harper gave Belle a shocked look.

"Wait, were you dropped off in a basket when you were a baby?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Oh dear…"

Harper started hyperventilating.

"What's wrong?", asked Belle

"Christabelle, Im your biological mother"
