The SweetieMash Chronicles
Chapter 7: Seeing Green
Sweetie Belle focused her complete attention on the group of foals in front of her. She felt the ground as her hooves touched the worn dirt path and bounced off it again and again. She could hear the blood rushing past her ears and a loud, high pitched scream. Even these few details began to fade from her awareness as she closed the distance between her and the fillies in front of her.
“Blank flank! Blank Flank! Blank…”
“… aaaaaaaeeeeeeee…”
Silver Spoon’s ears perked up at the sound of a screech that was quickly getting louder in volume.
Seemingly oblivious, Diamond Tiara continued her taunting of the crying, young colt. “Blank flank! Blank Flank!”
“…aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
Silver Spoon turned as the screaming got closer. Her vision was soon filled by a bright green glow from the angry, white unicorn that was rapidly approaching. Silver Spoon’s light purple eyes widened behind her glasses as she realized Sweetie Belle was on a collision course for her and her friend.
She began to frantically nudge the pink earth pony next to her.
“Blank-OW! What?!” Diamond Tiara asked. She quickly ascertained what her friend was drawing her attention to and managed to utter a quick, “Oh…” before Sweetie Belle slammed into Silver Spoon who, in turn, fell into Diamond Tiara.
Silver Spoon’s vision blurred partially from the impact, and partially because here glasses went flying off her face.
Diamond Tiara’s saw stars briefly as the world turned sideways.
Slowly, the two fillies regained their senses as a green glow began to completely envelop the area around them and a high pitched, ominous buzzing sound filled their ears.
Silver Spoon looked up and gulped. Blurred or not, she could see well enough to tell she was staring into a face that was currently regarding her and her friend with absolute contempt. “Uh… Diamond Tiara?” she called out meekly, “somehow I don’t think that colt is a charity case anymore…”
Diamond Tiara swallowed as she glanced over her friend and looked into Sweetie Belle’s rage filled eyes, “Ye…yeah…” she stammered out. The two fillies on the ground pulled their forelegs up to their chest and looked fearfully up at the white unicorn.
Sweetie Belle said nothing, making a small mental note that the screaming had stopped and that it was likely coming from her in the first place. Memories of her and her friends being bullied by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon surfaced, fueling the feelings of anger that was already bubbling and boiling insider her. The light from her horn surged in intensity as the buzzing continued to increase in volume and tone.
The two closed their eyes as the buzz emanating from Sweetie Belle’s horn crescendoed into a fevered pitch.
“SWEETIE BELLE!”
Sweetie Belle’s eyes shot open wide as Cheerilee called out to the young filly. As angry as she was, the sounds of an authority figure calling out in an alarmed, chastising tone was enough to get her to stop dead in her tracks. Her angry expression quickly evaporated and she turned to face Cheerilee with a panicked, guilty look.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon breathed a collective sigh of relief.
“What is going on, here?!” Cheerilee demanded.
Still lying on their backs on the ground, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon exchanged wicked grins as they realized the sudden shift in power. Diamond Tiara put on her best hurt and scared expression. “Ma… Ms. Cheerilee, we were just…”
“BULLIES… YELL… BLANK FLANK… SWEETIE BELLE… SAVE ME…!” Button cried as he flailed his forehooves about in front of him.
Cheerilee turned and stared at the brown colt as she attempted to decipher the string of words he had uttered.
“Bu…but Ms. Cheerilee…” Diamond Tiara said as she attempted to gain her teachers attention.
“SCREAM… MAGIC… GREEN…. GLOWING…”
“Button Mash! Slow down!” Cheerilee asked of the young brown colt as she held up her forehoves.
Silver Spoon rose to her hooves and squinted out into her grassy surroundings, she picked out a light blue blur in the sea of green and trotted over. She reached down with her hooves and placed her glasses onto her face. She turned to the magenta pony as Cheerilee continued her attempt to calm Button Mash down. Silver Spoon put on her best, sad puppy dog look, trotted over to Cheerilee, and…
“These two were bullyin’ Button Mash!” Apple Bloom cried as she and Scootaloo ran up to the group of ponies.
“Was not!” Diamond Tiara cried defensively.
Scootaloo rolled her eyes, “Do you hear that? The lying machine just turned on.”
“Apple Bloom? Scootaloo? What…” Cheerilee began.
The strategy of playing the victim forgotten, Silver Spoon mustered her wits about her and quickly formulated a retort, “We were not!”
“Were too!” Apple Bloom replied.
“If you two wore pants they’d totally be on fire right now!” Scootaloo chimed in.
“We weren’t bullying him!” Diamond Tiara insisted.
“You hear that, Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo said. “Apparently there’s a new definition for bullying that somehow doesn’t include teasing someone until they start crying.”
Apple Bloom snickered.
“What?! Crying…” Cheerilee exclaimed, “Button is this…”
“… FRIENDS… DANGER…”
Cheerilee sighed and raised a forehoof to her face.
“We weren’t bullying him!” Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon said in unison in a somewhat desperate tone.
“Were too!” Apple Bloom and Scootaloo shot back.
“… HOSPITAL… MEDICAL WASTE…”
“Were not!”
“Were too!”
Cheerilee eye’s darted back and forth between the two pair of arguing fillies and Button Mash. Her face began to scrunch up in frustration as she attempted to ascertain exactly what had transpired.
Sweetie Belle merely stood in place, her face a deep shade of red as her looked over the quarreling foals, confused school teacher, and babbling colt.
“… QUARANTINE… INFECTION…”
“Were not!”
“Were too!”
“… ZOMBIES… APOCALYPSE!” Button Screamed has he places his forehoofs to either side of his head.
“ENOUGH!” Cheerilee shouted.
The foals all went quiet.
“Alright, all of you to the schoolhouse. I’ll sort this out there,” Cheerilee said as she pointed out with a forehoof towards the red building.
Diamond Tiara tried to protest, “But, Sweetie Belle…”
“GO!” Cheerilee commanded sternly.
The foals all sighed out a chorus of, “Yes, ma’am,” as they hung their heads walked towards the schoolhouse, the magenta mare right behind them.
Sweetie Belle kept her eyes pointed at the ground as felt a deep pit open in her stomach. Defending Button Mash, or not, there’s no way Cheerilee is going to let me off for attacking Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. She’ll probably tell my parents… or Rarity… Sweetie Belle felt water well up behind her eyes as she attempted to choke back sobs.
“Hey…”
Sweetie Belle felt somepony gently nuzzle the side of her face as she trudged onward.
She looked up into the smiling face of Button Mash. His warm, amber eyes locked onto her glassy emerald ones.
“Thanks for being my hero,” Button Mash said.
Sweetie Belle smiled meekly and nodded as her cheeks flushed a luminescent shade of vermilion.
Worth it!
Yay! Go, Sweetie Belle!
I really hope Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon get punished. Those lying little brats!
That is all.
Huh? Not many times that Sweetie gets to play the hero.

Either way awesome Sweetie Belle is awesome

3971697
Yeah, not sure why it didn't work right.
3971720 Definitely will. Thanks.
BROHOOF TO SWEETIE BELLE!!!

NEVER use the link from the mobile YouTube
Yeah... maybe it's not a good time to listen Hardcore right now xD
Why?
Anger: "BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SMASH YOUR FUCKING FACE IN IF DIAMOND TIARA AND SILVER SPOON GET OUT OF THE TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!"
"Jisus, someone calm him down!"
Laziness: "Yea you go and try that, I'm not gonna play with my life."
Wisdom: "You're the same person as he is..."
Laziness: "Don't care..."
Anger: "I'M GOING TO RIP THAT FUCKING FILLY'S HEAD OFF AND USE IT TO KILL THE OTHER ONE!!!"
"To be honest, he has a fair reason..."
This chapter was okay, but sometimes I just want the bullies to suffer the consequences, if they get out of the trouble after you were about to fuck them up, they'll just continue with more excitement. If someone's a bully, he/she deserves to get fucked up and that's it. Fuck your "violence isn't the answer" because I'll be blasting THIS while smashing the bully's face in.
Great chapter. I liked how Button was just babbling,
3971705 How have you not watched the wonders of Friendship is Witchcraft, the best parody of MLP?
Gasp, I bet you haven't even heard Pinkie's Brew or Gypsy Bard...
You have been missing out on some of the fandom...
BTW: What's this about two chapters?
Take your time. Good stories can't be rushed. :)
DAAAWWWWWWW
3971851
DT and SS are almost certain to get out of trouble because DT and SS are best villains.
3971897 For some reason I got the update for both seeing red and seeing green just today, and I just now looked at when they were posted. Ignore me. I'm retarded.
I...actually...haven't heard of either of those...no. Please don't lynch me. ...
I'm surprised there's anything MLP related I haven't watched on youtube.
SEND DT AND SS TO THE BADASS CRATER OF BADASSITUDE

FiW is pretty entertaining.
There's actually a few references to it that have crept up here an my other works, so you may get a few more giggles and you ever go back and reread any of them.
3972032 I'm sure I'll catch them as I watch FiW and giggle then, as if they were references to your work. Lol. Just like I read that food court part backwards.
3971994
Annoying, not best. They are well made characters but they still lose to any other villain ever. Actually they are not even villains, just two cartoon characters that play the part of pathetic personality and a pathetic follower in a show that's supposed to teach people that these kind of persons shouldn't exist.
A little short for my taste, but what we got was more than enough to satisfy my ButtonBelle needs. I especially loved how you made Sweetie Belle the hero of this chapter. This story has pretty much everything I love about this pairing and I hope to see another update soon.
i imagined that when cheerilee said ENOUGH that it was in a demon voice
Yay, more SweetieMash! Or is it ButtonBelle?
Either way, we're almost done with the obligatory showdown with Bulk and Skull's Flanderized ,genderbent, ponified selves.
Was this chapter short? Yes. Did take a bit longer to release than I would have liked? Maybe. Was it worth it?fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/157/4/4/sweetie_belle_face_by_blanishna-d52jab2.png
HELL YEAH!
Awesome AND D'awwsome!
Too bad the Terrible Two didn't piss themselves in terror.
Die diadème de diamant et de l'argent cuillère! (French for die diamond tiara and silver spoon according to Google Translate)
Of course, DT and SS mashed Sweetie's Berserk Button.
how many more chapter t'ill its done
3972356 SweetieButt.
Awwwwwww how cute.
3973443 Don't ruin it by calling it that
Amazing, a very enjoyable read so far, and then this. It's pure gold. Worth it!!!!!

Good question! I don't really plan things out by the chapter. I basically sit down and think about the story I want to tell and sort of continually mentally think about the next few chapters and where it will ultimately go.
We've still got quite a few chapters to go before we start approaching anything close to an ending.

Well played.
Ah, young love...(Squee!)
And Cheerilee earns yet another Useless Adult point....
3973772
I do my best.
I honestly felt that this was a bit too short. I still laughed a lot in this chapter, but I feel that I coulda laughed more... Then again... I don't write at all really... so I can't say much on the length...
3974297
It's a pretty short chapter, admittedly.
I hit what I felt was a good stopping point for it rather quickly and just went with it.
The upside here is that I went straight onto working on the next chapter.
3974320
And that, my dear man, is a pretty good upside. I hope you marvelous escapades in your writing... if that is what you do in writing... I'm not really sure...
Give me a sec, I'll be back. I have to see if marvelous escapades are indeed what occurs during the writing process...
3973977: tell me about it.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon also seem to go out of their way to cause trouble. In One Bad Apple they just sort of randomly show up to hassle the Crusaders at Sweet Apple Acres. Meaning they sat down and decided they had nothing better to do than go find the CMC and harass them.
I remember Bulk and Skull being more just sort of unpleasant to be around (in the earlier seasons), developing a bit as the series went along.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon seem to becoming worse as the show goes on.
I'm still waiting for them to kiss, ya know. A light peck or two :3 No cheap tricks. Just a 'Thanks for being in my life' kiss
You go Sweetie Belle.
Only so much one can take from a bully before something snaps. Curse you Cheerilee! Sweetie Belle was about to smite two wicked fiends!
