The Belle of a Nightmare

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 2

“Sweetie belle! Are you up?” I hear Rarity yell from down stairs. I open my eye’s and slowly get up from bed.
“Ugh….. I am now!” I yell back. I then yawn. I had stayed up a little longer than I usually do, but somehow I manage to turn the piece of nightmare moons armor into a necklace. It took a bit of hot glue, but I did it!
“Well, I made breakfast! Come down when you're ready for it!” Rarity yelled back. I yawn again then open the windows to let some sunlight and air in. Today is another pretty day always. And today, is another day to meet up with Applebloom and Scootaloo, to find and help ponies figure out their density! AND I can show them the armor I found. I quickly trot over to it and pick it up. Thought…. I shouldn't let rarity see me with this on. I look around then I quickly pick up the scarf that I had made. It’s Perfect! I quickly put on the necklace then put on my scarf. I quickly brush my mane and tail then trot down stairs. I look into the kitchen to see Rarity put breakfast on the table. Rarity then see’s me.
“Ah, Good Morning Sweetie Belle! Did you have a good night sleep?” She says as she turns around and cleans the counter behind her with a rag.
“Yep! And Today is another day for the CMC to go out and help!” I say as I trot in a sit down at the table.
“Well, it’s certainly is beautiful day for that!” Rarity chuckles. I quickly chow down on the breakfast then get up from my seat.
“Well, I better hurry then and get going!” I say as I trot away.
“Ok Sweetie Belle take care then-- oh um… sweetie?” Rarity turns around and looks at me with a weird face.
“Yeah?” I say.
“A-Are you sure you want to go out w-with that LOVELY scarf you made? I could get you another one!” Rarity says while she looks at me with a worried weird smile. She then chuckles.
“Um that’s ok Rarity, I like my scarf!” I say.
“If you're sure then….ehehe.” She says still with that weird smile. As I trot away, I hear the front door open and the bell rings. Rarity and I trot over to see who it saws.
“Hi Rarity, good morning!” Twilight sparkle trots on in.
“Oh Twilight, darling! I didn’t know you were coming over!” Rarity trots over to her.
“I thought I might as well stopped by!” Twilight says. I trot over to them.
“Hi twilight!” I say.
“Oh Hi Sweetie belle! Have you been practicing your magic since the last time we’ve met?” She asks. For while now, twilight has been helping using and controlling my magic, especially now that I have my cutie mark, twilight wants to see if my magic is effected or ,can effect, thanks to my mark.
“Yes!” I say cheerfully and my horn glows a bit.
“Well, that’s great! Anyways, Rarity.” Twilight turns to rarity. 
“I heard that you and Sweetie belle here, went to the castle of the two sisters, Did you find anything new interesting?” Twilight asks.
“Well besides fabulous ancient works of art, there was nothing new at the castle.” Rarity points out.
“Oh… ok then.” Twilight says disappointingly. I can see Twilight shuffling her wings. I think I better get out of here before twilight starts asking me.
“Well, I'm off! Bye Twilight! Later Rarity!” I run out the door.
“Just be careful!” I hear rarity yell behind me.

Back with Rarity and Twilight…..

“Oh, that filly, she’s always like rush off!” Rarity huffs then trots back into the kitchen to clean up.
“She’s not really filly anymore, you know.” Twilight trots after her and chuckles.
“eh, that’s true….. But she could at least go out with something nice! I love sweetie belle and all but I want Sweetie belle to grow up with style!” Rarity poses. Twilight chuckles.
“Now Twilight…..” Rarity put everything up then looks at twilight.
“What are you REALLY here for?” She asks. Rarity is no fool. She could tell when something is with any of her close friends and today she could feel it. Twilight sighs.
“Well, I might as tell you…. Last night, I was visited by Princess Luna.” Twilight says.
“Well, doesn’t the princess always checks in on everypony's dreams?” Rarity chuckles.
“Well yes, but it wasn’t in the dream world.” Twilight points out.
“Oh my…” Rarity says with a worried look. It’s rare of Luna to ever visit anypony during the waking times.
“Princess Luna had some kind of vision, she doesn’t know what it exactly means yet, she asked me to check around ponyville to make sure that everything was ok. Or least if something changed.” Twilight says.
“So, that’s why you asked me if there was anything new around the old castle.” Rarity says. Twilight nods.
“But…. So far everything seems fine. Thought I'm a bit paranoid now.” Twilight chuckles.
“Well darling if I see anything out of the blue, You’ll be the first one I’ll come to.” Rarity reassures Twilight.
“Thanks Rarity, Anyways I better go and prepare Starlights next lesson. I’ll see you later!” Twilight waves Rarity goodbye and trots out of the boutique.

Now back with Sweetie belle…..

As Apple trees past me, I see CMC clubhouse ahead of me. I trot up to it and hear voices coming from it. Cool! Applebloom and Scootaloo are already inside. I trot up the stair and head inside. I see Applebloom and Scootaloo talking.
“Ah, think was should look around central ponyville for cutie mark problems.” Applebloom says.
“Well, I think we should look around the school yard! There’s tons of fillies and colts that don’t have cutie marks!” Scootaloo says.
“Yeah, but there might be ponies around there having a hard time understanding their cutie marks!” Applebloom huffs. Scootaloo huffs.
“How come we can’t split up again this time?” She asks.
“Cause, We been doin’ that for the last couple times! I think it be might more fun doing it TOGETHER.” Applebloom huffs back. I think I better step in.
“Um… Girls?” I say.
“Well, Applebloom, I think helping our school mates is more important!” Scootaloo says angrily. 
“Ain’t the older ponies matter as well?” Applebloom angrily says back.
“Um….. GIRLS?” I say worriedly. However my words do not reach them as they keep on arguing. I'm not really listening to arguing anymore. Now and then we have our arguments like this but….. ugh I'm starting to get annoyed.

~Look at them…..~

Huh? I look around see where that voice is coming from. However it’s just Scootaloo, Applebloom and I.

~Look at them arguing…. And Ignoring YOU……. Pathetic….~

“Um…. I really wouldn’t call it pathetic.....” I say out loud nervously.

~Better stop them….. Why don’t you use your magic?.....~

Actually, that’s not a bad idea. Um thanks weird voice for the idea? Anyways, I trot over to the both of them. I focus really hard on my magic and I manage to separate and pick up the two of them.
“What the?!” Applebloom said.
“Hey!!” Scootaloo says. Then they both turn to look at me.
“Oh, Hey Sweetie belle.” They both say simultaneously. I sigh.
“Ok look, how we spend part of the day in the school yard, and the other in central ponyville.” I point out. Applebloom and Scootaloo look at each other. Then they awkwardly smile and chuckle. I quickly put them down. Just picking BOTH of them up just drained my magic.
“Hey, Sweetie Belle, how com’ you wearin’ that scarf you made?” Applebloom asks. Finally I can show them!
“Well I wanted to show you what I found yesterday at the old castle!” I say then pull off my scarf.
“Taadaa!” I show them the necklace with Nightmare moons armor on it.
“No way!” Scootaloo says while her wings flap.
“Is that part of nightmare moons armor?! I can’t believe you found that! What a treasure!” She says.
“I wouldn’t say that a treasure…” Applebloom says worriedly.
“Sweetie belle, why in the world would take that? If there was still some old dark like magic still in it! I mean for love of celestia, it’s Nightmare moons armor!”
“Well, Nightmare moon was defeated a long time ago! Remember the Elements of Harmony purified everything and saved luna! And besides…. If anything weird happens…. I get Twilight to look over it…” Though I'm not going to tell Applebloom and Scootaloo of the strange voice i just heared a while ago. The voice I heard must have just been in my head, after all it did help stopping the both of them tearing each others fur off.
“Well, was Rarity OK with you having it?” Applebloom suspiciously looked at me.
“Well….. I haven’t told her….. Yet.” I say. To be fair I was telling the truth.
“And when are you going to?” Applebloom says.
“Once after she… finishes her next line of clothes.” I smile awkwardly. I DO really want to tell rarity eventually. But now just doesn’t seem the time. Applebloom sighs.
“Well ok then….. Alright girls let’s get ready for a day of helping ponies!” Applebloom says.
“Yeah!” both scootaloo and I say. Applebloom and Scootaloo run out the door. I quickly put my scarf back on and run after them. Time to help out some ponies!
